[00:00:46] Your of headlines on press TV, Iran's security chief tells Press TV
[00:00:49] that the US response to Tehran's conditions for reopening the straight of
[00:00:53] Fermous is inadequate and contains ambiguities that must
[00:00:57] be
[00:00:57] of clear to all vessels not to turn off their... all vessels not to turn off their
[00:01:01] navigation systems during Hurmus transit, saying all ships
[00:01:05] doing this will be considered hostile
[00:01:08] of and targeted. And Yemani arm forces spokesman says a
[00:01:12] major wave of long-range
[00:01:13] of missile and drone strikes has targeted key airports and energy

[00:01:21] of Arabia.
[00:01:28] of
[00:01:37] Hello everyone, you're watching Press TV live from the studios in
[00:01:41] Tehran. Thank you for joining us. Let's
[00:01:45] begin
[00:01:45] of with our top story an exclusive interview with Press TV. Iran's top
[00:01:49] security official says Washington's response to Tehrans seven
[00:01:53] conditions
[00:01:53] in a proposal to reopen the
[00:01:55] of strategic straight off is inadequate. Major
[00:01:58] of General Mohsen Razi said.
[00:02:17] a
[00:02:20] of of
[00:02:22] of
[00:02:30] in their response, they have accepted some of our conditions, and there are
[00:02:34] some ambiguities, therefore, the Americans have responded to
[00:02:37] us, we are not in the process of responding to the Americans, the
[00:02:41] Americans have responded to us and we consider their response
[00:02:44] insufficient. He added
[00:02:48] that the Americans must remove those parts that are considered ambiguous by
[00:02:52] Iran, and Tehran is waiting to see whether they can remove those
[00:02:56] ambiguities before heading to the next
[00:02:58] of stages. interview Razi said the
[00:03:02] US has suffered defeat after defeat against Ivan and that's why
[00:03:06] Washington has turned to economic war against the
[00:03:09] country.
[00:03:13] The enemy suffered major defeat in the 12-day war, major defeat in the
[00:03:16] 12-day war, and
[00:03:18] of then again in
[00:03:19] the 40-day war. They resorted to naval blockade, but that the launched
[00:03:22] economic isolation plan. They faced
[00:03:24] in defeat in almost every single campaign they launched, but we stayed put,
[00:03:28] pursuing our plans and... realized all those campaigns with accurate
[00:03:32] planning and
[00:03:33] of calculations. the general said the
[00:03:37] US has failed even to end this war of aggression, he stress that the
[00:03:41] option to end the aggression is in the hands of Iran and Iranians will
[00:03:45] not stop their resistance until they get what what is
[00:03:48] rightfully theirs. rai added that the US is the root cause
[00:03:52] of the problem concerning the straight of Urmus. the general said Iran
[00:03:56] seeks management
[00:03:57] of the straight to ensure regional security. especially in the
[00:04:01] Persian Gulf. He rejected Washington's claim that
[00:04:05] it is transporting major amounts of oil through the key
[00:04:08] waterway. Razi said the US is only using smugglers to
[00:04:12] transport negligable
[00:04:13] of amounts of oil while the straight remains
[00:04:16] closed.
[00:04:21] Now to talk more on this,
[00:04:22] we have Mr. Sabab Shath with us, author and west Asia expert joining
[00:04:26] us from Belfast. Mr. Shath, good to see you again, Mr. Shath, it seems that... "the
[00:04:30] US wants the nuclear issue to be discussed in the
[00:04:33] negotiations, but Iran is saying that the file is closed, especially for
[00:04:37] now,
[00:04:39] of and the US should deal with the hormos
[00:04:42] of rate, the hormos issue right now with a stop to the
[00:04:46] aggression and also the blockade
[00:04:49] in as a prerequisite. hello to
[00:04:53] of you and your audience, you see the United States of
[00:04:56] America today, they know that..."
[00:05:00] Iran won the war and Iran is the one who has
[00:05:04] escalation dominance in here, not just ability to respond
[00:05:08] to for that on this and that, so this and
[00:05:13] so a Trump administration
[00:05:16] uh they targets today the
[00:05:19] economical ability of survivor in Iran
[00:05:23] and they in that way as they trying to
[00:05:27] create what they call the hyper inflation in
[00:05:30] Iran they they failed in in doing
[00:05:34] so since Iran since 1979 is
[00:05:38] used to the American campaigns.
[00:05:42] of trying to starg to suffocate the economy in
[00:05:46] Iran and Iran response to any
[00:05:50] attempts by the Americans will be devastating and the
[00:05:54] Americans put lots of scenarios
[00:05:57] on
[00:05:58] the on the table, that's before even they today what we
[00:06:02] hear Trump is saying uh is like
[00:06:05] something nothing to do with the war, always he repeat
[00:06:09] the statement that he Iran will not gonna have an'
[00:06:12] nuclear nuclear arm program or nuclear
[00:06:16] bomb since day one iran said that to
[00:06:20] the Americans and on that the GCPA were
[00:06:23] signed and he come himself negate that
[00:06:27] signature and Iran confirmed there is religious fatwa
[00:06:31] by the late martur Khamenei on that and there
[00:06:35] is commitment to the international community and to the
[00:06:39] non-bating treaty in iran to come inspect according
[00:06:43] to that, but the the Trump administration goals and the
[00:06:47] signist entities goals, the were nothing to do with the
[00:06:50] nuclear reactor, and they were attacking Iran to
[00:06:53] do a change regime, to assinate all the leaderships and
[00:06:57] most them as they did, and then to divide the
[00:07:01] country among their own alliance so they can suck
[00:07:05] the world, this is the ambition the United States of
[00:07:09] America and give dominance in the region under what the... call
[00:07:12] it the abrahamic ocers or the greater Israel
[00:07:16] opportunity to rule the area, but in here
[00:07:19] Iran defeated that program and Iran
[00:07:23] response today for any escalation from the United States of
[00:07:27] America is very clear to them
[00:07:30] to the to the Americans, they they see from the the economical
[00:07:34] point of view, the the Americans they cannot
[00:07:37] really sufficate the Iranian economy
[00:07:41] since Iran 60% per of its oil, it produces
[00:07:44] goes domestically to the Iran public and to
[00:07:48] the Iran industry, and that is very cheap
[00:07:52] compared to the two dollar, two
[00:07:55] sterling pound liter in the UK or
[00:07:59] six and a half dollars for a gallon on the
[00:08:03] United States of America, in Iran, it's pennis, so they
[00:08:06] cannot stagnate a country,
[00:08:10] it's provide the wealth. of that country to its
[00:08:14] people, so they were as American analys, they were
[00:08:17] saying the Americans maybe will target some of
[00:08:21] Iranian capabilities of providing such a cheap
[00:08:24] industry oil to the public and target as
[00:08:28] well energy industries and in that
[00:08:32] Iran you know can target
[00:08:35] one refinery in Saudi Arabia like the Abic
[00:08:39] Saudi abec they call it it's not that far. from Iran,
[00:08:43] it's it's American assets, most these refineries
[00:08:47] and oil industry in these countries and around Iran, they
[00:08:51] are american assets, and in that this one refinery in
[00:08:54] Saudi Arabia, I heard American analys speaks about it, they say
[00:08:58] to provide seven million barrels of oil a
[00:09:02] day, and that supplies from east to
[00:09:06] west pipeline, and that the one is
[00:09:09] is like roughly 5% of... the world
[00:09:13] energy
[00:09:14] so in that once Iran who is
[00:09:18] producing two million roughly and most of it going to the to
[00:09:22] the domestic market in the a target that
[00:09:26] what that going to do to the Uniteds of America, the United States of
[00:09:30] America and all its allies and the international market
[00:09:34] will suffer hugely and if you allow me in the point of
[00:09:38] hormos Trump we seen him
[00:09:41] yesterday big the Russian president Putin for
[00:09:45] 30000 tons of diesel immediately and some for
[00:09:49] next month before the the midterm election
[00:09:53] that desperation can show us who
[00:09:57] is trying to control the hiking prices in the
[00:10:00] American market before the
[00:10:02] election who is in control the state of
[00:10:06] hormones that expose is lies and
[00:10:10] that the oil and gas in the... is not flowing as he's
[00:10:14] telling his own people at the same rate as before
[00:10:17] Iran put its own clutches
[00:10:21] on the the the straight of horm so he exp.
[00:10:25] himself to be liar and all this contradiction messages to his
[00:10:29] own public was only to play the market so he can milk it
[00:10:33] and he and his kids can make some money. that's exactly right.
[00:10:36] Mr. Shath, as you talked about the sanctions, the US lapped the
[00:10:40] harsheous sanctions on Iran for decades and has
[00:10:44] not made the Iranians yield. But look at what has the
[00:10:48] oil flow disruptions have done to the world economy so far and
[00:10:52] how sanctions feel uh... world is a
[00:10:55] turmoil uh just with one straight closed imagine what
[00:10:59] happens when you have the barble mendeb and the suis canal clos as well
[00:11:03] so it's kind of you could say sanctions for sanctions i think we talked about
[00:11:07] this with uh you and also misdatu i think it was so
[00:11:11] it's kind of a sanctions for sanctions but it's just like one tenth of what
[00:11:14] Iranians have felt or even more uh so how does that feel for the
[00:11:18] world economy and uh the world as well the the the the
[00:11:22] people around the world yeah see the Americans uh
[00:11:26] dollars buying power in the United States of America,
[00:11:30] it's the the people lost 40% their
[00:11:34] income in in stagnation, economical
[00:11:37] stagnation and inflation.
[00:11:40] America is soon enough, it will be the one who wanted to sync
[00:11:44] Iran in hyper inflation will go into hyper inflation
[00:11:48] itself, so the American people are panicking in there and
[00:11:52] they gonna punish Trump for what he did. "this is
[00:11:55] one of he he was all along when he even
[00:11:59] signed the mou with Iran in
[00:12:02] Switzerland in in France sorry in
[00:12:05] Varsai palace, he was saying he doesn't want to be
[00:12:09] like president hover who's on his
[00:12:13] watch in the United States of America last century in the
[00:12:16] 20s went in deep depression and he is pushing
[00:12:20] America and pushing the international economy the
[00:12:24] cliff" as well just satisfy the zionist
[00:12:28] entity, because they control him somehow,
[00:12:31] you know, everybody can give their own opinion how the United States of
[00:12:34] America's president being controlled, every American president before
[00:12:38] him avoided to go to to
[00:12:42] war with Iran or to listen to Netanyahu to the signist
[00:12:46] entity, the EU, if you allow me, and the NATO as well
[00:12:50] refrain from joining joining him and and
[00:12:54] his adventure. of illegal and criminal war in
[00:12:57] Iran and they refuse today after what he
[00:13:01] did and begging Putin for that,
[00:13:05] they understood the European very well and the
[00:13:08] NATO that Iran is the winner in here and
[00:13:11] they were right all along to take the position of not
[00:13:15] joining and the European powers right now they can
[00:13:19] see the US it's following the the the the path the
[00:13:23] British and the French. empire they are disappearing at the
[00:13:27] time and during the Swiss canal crisis and the
[00:13:31] Iran created the same moment for the United States of
[00:13:34] America, another suas canal crisis of 1956
[00:13:38] happening right now, 2026 by the
[00:13:42] Iranian, they are burying the backs
[00:13:45] americana bit by bit, and the European watching
[00:13:48] that, and the European, they they see the Americans
[00:13:52] are fleeing, as I mentioned in the show you..." talked about, they are
[00:13:56] playing the region, they are dismanteling all its spaces in
[00:14:00] Iraq and Kurdistan and the Gulf states and they
[00:14:04] are putting some in Jordan, maybe and they will dismantle them and
[00:14:08] go and inziness entity, so they know this
[00:14:12] empire, the Yank empire is is diminishing bit by bit
[00:14:16] is is diminishing bit by bit, and they understand
[00:14:19] now the regional power, strong regional power, as they
[00:14:23] say, it's a global... right now, mr. show, think one minute if you
[00:14:27] can, do you think uh, one thing that the world is paying the price on
[00:14:31] behalf of Israel, netanyahu, trump's ego, and also the
[00:14:34] abstinos pockets, and I want to ask you about uh, do you
[00:14:38] think uh, it's the last chance for Netanyahu and
[00:14:41] Trump? you see it
[00:14:45] is, but Netanyahu, his own
[00:14:48] gang and his own people and the United and the
[00:14:52] Zinist entity, once they see... him engage in in
[00:14:56] warfare and in killing and showing a blood
[00:15:00] as his hands, he gets support and he understand this is the
[00:15:04] psyche the zinist entity, 95% the
[00:15:08] population of that entity, they support him in his
[00:15:11] genocide in Gaza or in any war in
[00:15:15] Lebanon and genocide in Lebanon annxing parts of
[00:15:19] Syria, so once they say there is movement and he there
[00:15:23] is some noise and chatters. in the des entity that saying
[00:15:27] he is preparing the submarines, the nuclear submarines and
[00:15:31] the United States of America sending him more than
[00:15:33] 6000 GD.
[00:15:37] which is over 20
[00:15:41] 2000 tons to use on Iran
[00:15:45] and in that they are encouraged and in that maybe he will
[00:15:48] use that kind of a surprise attack
[00:15:52] escape from defeating the election those
[00:15:55] people uh their survivor is more important than to
[00:15:59] them Netanyahu and Trump then the thank you Mr. Shath

[00:21:13] and command back in the year 1405, the Iranian
[00:21:17] calendar year, also back in 2012.
[00:21:21] was active in the cultural and promotional sector the
[00:21:24] IRGC. now in march of 2015 he was appointed deputy for
[00:21:28] culture and promotion at the office the leaders representative
[00:21:32] within the IRGC, and he joins us in this edition
[00:21:35] the program. welcome to unscripted.
[00:21:38] in the name of God, the most compassionate, the most merciful, I would
[00:21:42] like to extend my greetings to you, your respected colleagues
[00:21:45] and all our dear viewers and listeners. It's a pleasure to be
[00:21:49] here with. so much for taking the time to talk to us, we're going to start with very important
[00:21:53] letter uh that was issued by the IRGC, this was something that made
[00:21:57] lot of news around the world, um, and it was addressed to the
[00:22:00] American people, from what I understand, given some the details behind
[00:22:04] this, it was published just very
[00:22:07] recently, and it was addressed to quote, the honorable people the
[00:22:11] United States of America, and the people involved were
[00:22:15] or the people that were addressed to were scholars, students, members the
[00:22:18] media, and it was pretty...
[00:22:50] "the United States has at least 200 television channels
[00:22:53] and at least 100 radio stations, through
[00:22:57] which it can communicate with our people around the clock. We do
[00:23:01] not have the same means at our disposal, therefore we
[00:23:05] decided to convey our message to the American people through
[00:23:08] letter. Our aim was to shed light on the
[00:23:12] existing realities and raise awareness among the
[00:23:15] American public. We believe that the American people are themselves.
[00:23:50] are largely considered noble values and are cherished
[00:23:54] by people around the world, but what is actually happening is that the
[00:23:57] US establishment uses, or more accurately,
[00:24:01] abuses these values to pursue its own
[00:24:04] self-interests. for example, in this letter we presented a number
[00:24:08] of facts and described certain realities. one
[00:24:12] point we made was that Americans live a country with highly
[00:24:16] fertile land and abundant water resources.
[00:24:20] They also have access to substantial energy resources,
[00:24:23] mineral wealth and underground mineral
[00:24:26] deposits. With the income they generate, they could enjoy
[00:24:30] a prosperous country. They also attract talented
[00:24:34] and educated people from all over the world, benefiting from their
[00:24:38] intellectual abilities, education, expertise and
[00:24:42] outstanding skills. Therefore, they could easily enjoy a
[00:24:45] good standard of living and considerable wealth without
[00:24:49] having to... invade other countries, but Americans should ask
[00:24:53] themselves why their country has 39 million
[00:24:56] people living in poverty. For such a wealthy country, having
[00:25:00] 39 million people in poverty is unacceptable.
[00:25:04] Why can't they provide a prosperous life for all their
[00:25:08] citizens? Why can't they establish a good healthcare
[00:25:12] system? Why can't they, at the very least, improve their
[00:25:16] people's wellbeing while reducing the gap between rich and poor.
[00:25:20] "the American people should reflect on these questions, they
[00:25:24] should also consider why the United States, despite being
[00:25:28] geographically secure by nature, maintains
[00:25:31] 800 military bases around the world. The
[00:25:35] oceans surround the United States and its neighbors, both
[00:25:39] on land and at sea, do not possess significant
[00:25:42] military or security capabilities that would threaten
[00:25:46] it. So why does America have 800 military?
[00:25:50] bases worldwide, what possible justification is
[00:25:54] there for maintaining so many bases across the globe, and
[00:25:58] why does the US military need a budget of 1.1
[00:26:02] trillion?
[00:26:32] ruling establishment itself and his partners, including those in
[00:26:36] Israel and those who support zinanism. the american
[00:26:40] people should reflect on these issues. they should also ask
[00:26:43] themselves why for the past 47 years
[00:26:47] people in Iran have been chanting death to america.
[00:26:51] are they doing so without reason? why have the Iranian people
[00:26:55] become hostile toward the United States? are the Iranian
[00:26:59] people enemies the American people? absolutely?
[00:27:33] the things the American people
[00:27:36] These are need to know,
[00:27:36] insured and
[00:27:40] without going into too much detail, we want the
[00:27:44] American people to understand the realities and
[00:27:47] recognize that the ruling establishment, its members are
[00:27:51] pursuing, its members are pursuing their own interests
[00:27:55] and seeking to enrich themselves, they should also
[00:27:58] look at what is being reported in the media these days.
[00:28:11] in the nearly two years has been in office. this so-called
[00:28:14] increase in wealth, this dramatic surge in personal
[00:28:18] fortune is result these very policies and these
[00:28:22] acts of aggression. so you see the US ruling
[00:28:25] establishment lies to its own people and attacks other countries to
[00:28:29] plunder their resources. it invades. Iraq under the
[00:28:33] pretext that Iraq possesses chemical weapons, killing 1
[00:28:36] million people in the process. It attacks Venezuela under
[00:28:40] the pretext of combatting drug trafficking, but then takes
[00:28:44] control of its oil wells. They attack Iran
[00:28:48] and they openly declare that they want to overthrow the Iranian
[00:28:52] government. Why? What does that have to do with them? They
[00:28:55] attack our country and say they want to partition Iran.
[00:28:59] They say
[00:29:00] they are after Iran's oil wells.
[00:29:02] why,
[00:29:14] why is this
[00:29:14] really happening?
[00:29:15] the reason our people chant death to america, people ch death to
[00:29:19] america is because these crimes and the oppression that the
[00:29:23] americans have, and today our people will, and today our
[00:29:27] people will not accept this. americans need to know these
[00:29:30] things as well as met. the letter, which is about
[00:29:34] 25 pages long, it has introduction, four
[00:29:38] chapters and 11 subchapters. We have entered into
[00:29:41] a dialogue with the American people, we hope that you
[00:29:45] and your respected colleagues will convey the voice of our
[00:29:49] people, as reflected in this letter to the American
[00:29:52] people.
[00:30:32] people to understand why their country has given the zionists
[00:30:36] bomb.
