[00:00:00] a while ago Zelinsky said that the rise in diesel prices was
[00:00:03] connected to the straight of hormos. Mr. Trump, why are
[00:00:07] you pointing people in
[00:00:09] of the wrong direction? Now consider this, when a war against
[00:00:12] Iran has such far reaching international
[00:00:15] of repercussions and affects
[00:00:17] of the lives of people throughout the entire world, there must be
[00:00:21] of a reason for it. That reason is the Iranian nation's resistance,
[00:00:25] the victories it has achieved and Iran's
[00:00:28] in position on the global economic. It is not the case
[00:00:32] that when something happens to the Iranian nation, only the Iranian people
[00:00:36] suffer the consequences, the entire word suffers. Look
[00:00:39] at what's happening in the US right
[00:00:42] in now, wherever Mr. Trump goes to deliver an election
[00:00:45] related or campaign speech, he has to answer the same
[00:00:49] question, without exception. Why did he start the
[00:00:53] war? He cannot speak without being asked to
[00:00:56] of answer this question, and he has
[00:00:58] of to respond. Every
[00:00:59] of journal.
[00:01:00] list who asks him questions invariably includes one
[00:01:03] question: why did you start the war? why did you launch a war
[00:01:07] against Iran? this
[00:01:08] of makes it clear that the war has had enormous
[00:01:12] consequences occupying the thoughts and concerns of
[00:01:15] people all over the world. these tremendous
[00:01:19] repercussions which are now affecting people's lives everywhere are the
[00:01:23] result of Iran's resistance. they
[00:01:25] of reflect Iran's capabilities, its geographical position and its
[00:01:29] civilization. Therefore, this war has brought many
[00:01:33] previously overlooked aspects
[00:01:35] of the Iranian nation to the world's attention and revealed the
[00:01:39] nation's strength and power. Consider the lives of
[00:01:43] ordinary Americans,
[00:01:44] of for example, there is not a single family
[00:01:47] of in the US, not a single
[00:01:49] of individual who has escaped the economic consequences of America's attack
[00:01:53] on Iran. Let them find even one person who hasn't
[00:01:57] of suffered losses. Even wealthy Americans have seen. incomes
[00:02:00] decline, let alone ordinary people whose
[00:02:04] of living costs have risen dramatically, the prices of
[00:02:07] fuel, gasoline and heating supplies, all essential
[00:02:11] to people's daily lives have soored. the
[00:02:15] a vietnam war didn't have this kind of impact, nor did other
[00:02:18] wars. yes, a large numbers of American soldiers were killed in
[00:02:22] Vietnam
[00:02:22] a itself, but the Vietnam war didn't have such far
[00:02:26] of reaching effects across the entire
[00:02:29] in world and
[00:02:33] of of
[00:03:01] of to Tehran. Two important developments have occurred recently that I'd like to highlight. The
[00:03:05] of first is the visit
[00:03:05] of the Katari delegation to Terran. They are continuing their efforts to
[00:03:09] facilitate negotiations and fulfill their mediating role. The second
[00:03:13] is letter addressed to you by US Vice President Vance. If you
[00:03:17] agree, let's begin with the Katari delegation and bring our viewers up
[00:03:21] to date on the latest developments in negotiations
[00:03:23] and دیپلوماسی. البته
[00:03:27] بحث دیپلماسی
[00:03:29] in اخیر ما. Our recent diplomatic efforts actually began more than a
[00:03:33] month ago, the Americans repeatedly urged us to enter into
[00:03:36] negotiations. We told, but that we would communicate our
[00:03:40] conditions, but that we would communicate our conditions. We made it
[00:03:44] clear that there would be no negotiations until our conditions are
[00:03:48] met. The mediators told us that the
[00:03:51] of Americans had
[00:03:52] a asked us to put our conditions in writing and submit them. We
[00:03:55] did so through Pakistan and Qatar. Iraq also began an
[00:03:59] effort. but it was left unfinished, we sent them
[00:04:03] in our seven conditions and told them that until all seven
[00:04:07] are met, the straight of hormos would not be reopened and
[00:04:10] there would be no negotiations. they asked us what would
[00:04:14] happen after that? we told them there would be no next stage
[00:04:18] unless we
[00:04:19] a saw a change in their behavior. we will not return to
[00:04:23] diplomacy
[00:04:23] of the past. you must see a change in your behavior. what does
[00:04:27] that change mean? it means that you must...
[00:04:48] of
[00:04:53] of
[00:05:02] of
[00:05:05] of
[00:05:12] limited our conditions and they responded. when we examined their
[00:05:16] response, we found firstly that they had watered down our
[00:05:19] conditions to some extent. in other words, they were not
[00:05:23] prepared to fulfill them in full. secondly, they had
[00:05:27] also raised issues that were supposed to be discussed a larger
[00:05:31] stage. we rolled back to them and told them that their
[00:05:34] responses were not satisfactory. after we sent that reply,
[00:05:38] the mediators resume their efforts. mr. kind.
[00:05:42] came to Iran and the katies also visited Iran. They
[00:05:46] presented a second proposal, which was better than the first,
[00:05:50] however, we decided that this time we would not approach the matter
[00:05:54] with excessive optimism because we had previously
[00:05:57] experienced and attack in the middle of negotiations. We
[00:06:01] therefore sent them an unequivocal message through Mr. Arak
[00:06:05] Chi, telling them that Iran was deeply suspicious
[00:06:09] them, you come to us seeking negotiations only to... attack us
[00:06:13] afterward, even after an election, that is what we told
[00:06:16] them, following that message, they began sending us a third
[00:06:20] response, this one was considerably better than the previous
[00:06:23] ones, it showed the degree of clarity, it showed the
[00:06:27] degree of clarity, indicating that the Americans were prepared
[00:06:31] to accept our seven conditions and points that needed
[00:06:35] clarification, which Mr. Arakchi communicated to
[00:06:39] them, we had traveled to Washington and the Americans. their
[00:06:43] responses, those responses were then conveyed to
[00:06:46] Mr. and discussions have now begun in this new
[00:06:50] round, so we take diplomacy seriously, but will
[00:06:54] under no circumstances relinquish the rights the Iranian
[00:06:57] nation. why are we doing this? some people ask why we
[00:07:01] are being so insistent, do we have something up our sleeve
[00:07:05] that we don't want to reveal, what is the reason for our
[00:07:09] insistance? our first point is this: Trump and the
[00:07:13] United States are not made to pay a price here, every
[00:07:17] other country will assume tomorrow that attacking Iran
[00:07:20] carries no consequences. Our most important means of
[00:07:24] deterrance is to bring this matter to conclusion here, in
[00:07:28] such a way that the war ends in manner that leaves no
[00:07:32] one daring to attack Iran again. We are not being stubborn,
[00:07:36] we are acting rationally. Our decisions are based on
[00:07:40] our national security and the... future the country,
[00:07:44] if we do not restore the rights the Iranian nation here,
[00:07:48] another country could come along tomorrow and say without a
[00:07:51] second thought that it should attack Iran. You have seen what happened
[00:07:55] in the past when the US attacked us, nothing happened to
[00:07:59] it. Therefore, we are standing firm on the basis of
[00:08:03] logical framework, and by the grace of Almighty God, our
[00:08:07] steadfastness will bear
[00:08:08] fruit.
[00:08:13] it
[00:08:13] is
[00:08:21] sleeve that unwilling to reveal. well, yes, we do have
[00:08:25] something. if the war starts, we will break America's
[00:08:28] horns so thoroughly that we will see what this hornless
[00:08:32] bull can do in the world, we will see whether it can even defend
[00:08:36] itself. yes, thank god, by the grace of almighty god,
[00:08:40] our armed forces are a very... high state of readiness,
[00:08:44] we tested our anti-ship missiles over the USS George
[00:08:47] Washington, everyone knows how strong our position is in the
[00:08:51] straight of hormos, today we maintain a powerful presence in the
[00:08:55] straight, and Mr. Hos Ravi, no sensible person in the world
[00:08:59] would be careless about their country's national security.
[00:09:03] National security is red line for every country, we will never
[00:09:07] allow the national security of any Iranian or of Iran as a
[00:09:11] whole to be weakened. and it is true that we have paid a price
[00:09:15] here, people's lives have genuinely become more
[00:09:18] difficult, and we understand that, but the great achievements we have
[00:09:22] secured today, and even greater achievements will
[00:09:25] hopefully secure in the future are simply
[00:09:28] incomparable to these hardships. God willing, as result
[00:09:32] of this resistance, the future generations of this nation will
[00:09:36] enjoy the best standard of living in the region, they will look back on
[00:09:40] this period with pride, so...
[00:10:12] in the media and various circles about these seven conditions, you have also just
[00:10:16] pointed out that they differ from the framework the memorandum of understanding reached in
[00:10:20] Islamabad, could you explain these differences? how do the seven conditions
[00:10:24] differ from what?
[00:10:36] In the previous document
[00:10:37] the straight was described as being managed under the Iranian
[00:10:40] arrangements, while the end the text also
[00:10:43] stated that this must be done in accordance with international
[00:10:47] law, this had led to various interpretations, that
[00:10:51] is no longer the case, under these seven conditions, "the
[00:10:55] shared corridor between Iran and Oman, which has been approved by both
[00:10:59] countries, will be registered with the international maritime
[00:11:02] organization or IMO. Iran will exercise
[00:11:05] management over the straight and this waterway, everyone passing
[00:11:09] through it will do so through waterway managed by
[00:11:13] Iran. This is entirely clear and transparent, there is no
[00:11:16] ambiguity about it. As for the collection of fees, various
[00:11:20] initiatives have been developed to ensure that if we reach an
[00:11:23] agreement, these pay'. nts will no longer be deferred as
[00:11:27] they were in the past, in other words, these fees will not be
[00:11:31] paid on credit. The other provisions the seven conditions also
[00:11:35] difer in terms of verification and enforcement
[00:11:38] guarantees. God willing the details will be published in due
[00:11:42] course. Furthermore our overall approach is that we will
[00:11:46] first bring about a change in American behavior through its
[00:11:50] acceptance these conditions. Only then we will move to
[00:11:54] other issues. For example, suppose we decide at their
[00:11:58] matters, we will first discuss our right, their matters, we will first
[00:12:01] discuss our rights, rather than impose restrictions, make energy
[00:12:05] agency knows this, the agency, make energy agency knows this, the
[00:12:09] agency knows that every country that is member the nuclear
[00:12:13] nonproliferation treaty or NPT has 22
[00:12:16] rights, why shouldn't we exercise all our rights,
[00:12:20] as long as we remain a member the NPT, we have these
[00:12:23] 22 rights. Of course, there may be times when they try to
[00:12:27] provoke another war. It is not certain that we will remain in the
[00:12:31] NPT after every future war. But for as long as we remain
[00:12:35] a member, we have 22 rights. Therefore, if they want to
[00:12:39] enter into nuclear negotiations with us, we will put our rights
[00:12:43] on the table first.
[00:12:44] It is the same principle we are applying now when we say that the
[00:12:48] straight of hormos will not be reopened until our rights are
[00:12:52] fulfilled. If they want to discuss the new'. your issue with us,
[00:12:56] we will likewise demand that our rights be respected first, they
[00:13:00] must recognize our rights before anything else. for example,
[00:13:04] one of our rights under the NPT is that every member state is
[00:13:07] entitled to engage in nuclear exchanges and cooperation
[00:13:11] with other countries. we have never fully benefited from our
[00:13:15] rights in terms of technical knowledge and expertise. the
[00:13:19] NPT for instance, provides Iran with 22 important
[00:13:22] rights, but they never allowed us. to exercise them,
[00:13:26] therefore we are serious, we will never relinquish the rights the
[00:13:30] Iranian nation, at the same time, we can secure those rights
[00:13:34] as quickly as possible, we do not want to waste
[00:13:37] time, we are by no means seeking war, what we
[00:13:41] want is for the Iranian nation's position and national
[00:13:45] security to be established so firmly that there is no
[00:13:48] room for doubt or uncertainty and no possibility of
[00:13:52] deception by the other side.
[00:14:25] in the process of reaching agreements concerning the shared waters
[00:14:29] of Iran and Oman in the corridor running through the straight
[00:14:33] of hormos where Iran exercises management.
[00:14:36] However, there's no possibility of reopening the straight of
[00:14:40] hormos unless our seven conditions are fulfilled
[00:14:44] first. This includes the recovery of our blocked funds
[00:14:47] and the resolution of other outstanding issues. All
[00:14:51] seven conditions must be met. Bear in mind. that the
[00:14:55] seven conditions we refer to actually encompass more than seven
[00:14:59] individual requirements. Each condition contains two
[00:15:03] or three additional requirements. If I were to list them
[00:15:07] individually, we might arrive at 11 conditions, but
[00:15:11] when we speak of seven conditions, some them contain two or
[00:15:14] three subconditions. Please understand that every one
[00:15:18] these conditions must be fulfilled. They are firm and
[00:15:22] nothing has changed. Once these conditions. have been
[00:15:25] fulfilled, we will move to the second stage, if other
[00:15:29] issues are to be raised at that point, we will have rights to
[00:15:32] assert there as well, the same approach will apply, for example
[00:15:36] if they want to remain in the NPT will tell them to
[00:15:40] clarify our rights first, only then we will fulfill the
[00:15:43] obligations we have under the treaty. as for Mr.
[00:15:47] Grossy at the International Atomic Energy Agency, in my
[00:15:51] view he's a mercenary for Israel. All our nuclear
[00:15:54] problems began during his tenure. Before him, the heads
[00:15:58] the International Atomic Energy Agency consistently
[00:16:02] stated in writing that Iran had not engaged any
[00:16:06] deviation from commitments is the first person to come
[00:16:10] forward and speak of such deviations. we have extensive
[00:16:13] documentation from the agencies lengthy inspections. in fact,
[00:16:17] over a period of more than 20 years, Iran has been subjected
[00:16:21] to more inspections than any other country with nuclear
[00:16:25] program. there
[00:16:26] is vast body of documentation demonstrating that Iran
[00:16:30] has not deviated from the peaceful course of its nuclear
[00:16:33] program. Mr. Gross is the only one who has come forward and
[00:17:37] Completely, the tone of this letter is very different, for example, from
[00:17:41] that the letter Trump wrote to our Martiod leader. This is the
[00:17:45] second letter exchanged between American and Iranian
[00:17:48] officials, and it's a very positive sign that thank god the
[00:17:52] Iranian nation has consolidated its victory and
[00:17:55] reaffirmed its strength. Let's see how things develop,
[00:17:59] since they have not disclosed anything about the letter
[00:18:02] themselves, I will not say anything about it for the time being
[00:18:06] either.
[00:18:48] They express their wishes and communicate their demands to government
[00:18:51] officials, however, no new decision has yet been
[00:18:55] made by the government or the state. Of course, the question is now
[00:18:59] being raised, if another war breaks out, do we want to
[00:19:03] retain our previous nuclear doctrine or do we want to change
[00:19:06] it? but no new decision has been officially
[00:19:10] made at the state level, nevertheless, the Iranian people have their own
[00:19:14] demands and they're looking for logical
[00:19:17] explanation. after all, they have seen the enemy attack
[00:19:21] all our nuclear facilities. why did they attack them?
[00:19:25] we had responded positively to all the IAAs
[00:19:28] inspections. we had allowed its inspectors to cu, we had
[00:19:32] allowed its inspectors to come and carry out inspections.
[00:19:35] cameras were installed at all our sites transmitting
[00:19:39] everything happening in atomic energy agencies headquarters in
[00:19:43] real time, when people see all this,
[00:19:46] it is only natural that they expect us to stop continuing with
[00:19:50] this cooperative behavior and change Iran's nuclear
[00:19:53] doctrine, however no official decision has been made
[00:19:57] yet, no meeting has been held at the supreme national
[00:20:00] security cancel to make such decision, nor has the
[00:20:04] cabinet adopted one. Our colleagues in parliament.
[00:20:37] has demonstrated that the structure the Islamic Republic extends
[00:20:41] beyond individuals, even the great leaders of this system who
[00:20:45] wielded influence and exercised authority far beyond
[00:20:49] Iran's orders such as delayed Imam Khumeyne eventually
[00:20:53] passed away, yet Ali Khameneii
[00:20:56] immediately took over the administration the country. Not
[00:21:00] even a single day, not even a single hour, was there any
[00:21:04] disruption in the running the country during this war. Our
[00:21:07] beloved leader was matured and our commanders were murtered. For
[00:21:11] nine days, there was no nearly appointed leader, yet the
[00:21:15] country continued to be governed effectively and with a
[00:21:18] strength. This. strights that the state institutions or
[00:21:22] inness, the state and nation have become so firmly
[00:21:26] established over the past 47 or 48 years
[00:21:30] that changes in individuals do not shake them, the system
[00:21:33] remains firmly in place. Of course, disagreements naturally
[00:21:37] arise during certain periods and different voices may
[00:21:41] emerge, but by the grace of almighty God, we
[00:21:45] can now see that the president, the speaker of parliament, the head the
[00:21:48] judiciary and the members the... national security council are
[00:21:52] all speaking with one voice, we are united in the war, united in
[00:21:56] diplomacy and united in the breaking the economic blockade.
[00:22:00] there may be differences of opinion among experts, but when we come
[00:22:04] together and hold meetings, we reach a common position. for
[00:22:07] the time being, responsibility for diplomacy during wartime
[00:22:11] rest with the supreme national security cancel, however,
[00:22:15] foreign policy during peace time as well as wartime falls under
[00:22:19] the responsibility. the government and the ministry of foreign
[00:22:22] affairs, since we are currently at war, the Supreme National
[00:22:26] Security Council is involved, however, the Supreme
[00:22:30] National Security Council is not separate from the government, the
[00:22:33] president himself chairs the council, the foreign minister is
[00:22:37] member and the commanders the armed forces are also part
[00:22:41] of it, therefore
[00:22:42] in my view we are now
[00:22:44] more united in our positions than ever before, i also ask
[00:22:47] our dear people not to pay attention attempts to create
[00:22:51] divisions between different officials, claims that one
[00:22:55] official has fallen out with another are unfanded,
[00:22:58] there are no political divisions of that kind, we are united
[00:23:02] behind our leader and follow his directives, if an
[00:23:06] official were to act independently outside the
[00:23:09] framework established by the leader, then we could speak of
[00:23:12] disagreement, but today we are all united behind the leader
[00:23:16] the Islamic Revolution, we are currently a very good... and
[00:23:20] desirable position. Recently, our beloved leader has also been
[00:23:24] holding more meetings with commanders and officials. I
[00:23:27] myself had the opportunity to meet with him. I genuinely
[00:23:31] felt that he was aware of every detail concerning the country.
[00:23:35] Even mentioned some information about the particular issue, and I
[00:23:38] realized that he knew more about it than I did, despite the fact that
[00:23:42] I currently have some greater day-to-day involvement in these
[00:23:46] matters. I therefore felt that he was fully inf. formed
[00:23:50] out every detail the country and remained actively
[00:23:54] involved, he regularly issues written directives,
[00:23:57] communicates instructions, offers guidance and makes his
[00:24:01] expectations clear. that meeting was also very
[00:24:04] productive, it lasted perhaps more than two hours, we
[00:24:08] benefited from the spiritual atmosphere in his presence and we
[00:24:11] prayed behind him. he also had some observations and
[00:24:15] recommendations concerning the supreme national security council,
[00:24:19] we certainly need to receive his guidance and proceed in
[00:24:22] accordance with his instructions, fortunately, although it
[00:24:26] took us some time to mid with him, the course we had been
[00:24:30] following was already very much in line with his guidance,
[00:24:33] we heard his guidance on diplomacy, defense and set
[00:24:37] fastness and the people's livelihoods. he also addressed the
[00:24:41] role the supreme national security council and its secretariat as
[00:24:45] a key coordination center for the country's economic affairs
[00:24:48] including economic... political, security and defense
[00:24:52] coordination. The president, thank God, is also governing the
[00:24:56] country effectively and with considerable authority. The
[00:25:00] government has developed some good plans to address people's livelihood
[00:25:04] concerns. It needs a little time implement these
[00:25:07] measures, god willing from the provision of electronic or
[00:25:11] subsidized good watchers to increasing public sector employees
[00:25:15] salaries. From what our colleagues have told us at some of our
[00:25:19] meetings, the...
[00:25:50] Republic of Iran broadcasting organization, my final message
[00:25:54] is this: national unity and cohesion are no less
