[00:00:03] miscalculations.
[00:00:07] Iran strongly condemns the German foreign minister's efforts to
[00:00:11] justify Washington's aggression against Iran calling it the
[00:00:14] sign of wonder
[00:00:16] of waterfalls profound moral
[00:00:18] of decay and the Yemani army says it has launched a
[00:00:21] ballistic missile attack on King Khalid

[00:00:35] of Hello, welcome to Press TV news, I am
[00:00:39] Bahman Nuray. The commander
[00:00:42] of the Islamic
[00:00:43] of Revolution, God's call, KTS force has won the US
[00:00:47] against repeating past miscalculations, stressing that the
[00:00:50] resistance front is united across the region. Brigadier
[00:00:54] general Ismail Khan, he
[00:00:55] of said the narcissistic president
[00:00:57] of the US was deceived by the evil prime. minister of Israel
[00:01:01] to start his gamble like war with Iran. The general noted that the
[00:01:04] result of Washington's aggression was the loss
[00:01:07] of the US's 250-year old credit and losing the
[00:01:10] straight of hormos. Kahne added that due to the
[00:01:13] of US obstinacy over this horm straight, it also lost a bubble
[00:01:17] mandab straight to the resistance front. He won that following the message
[00:01:21] issued by the leader
[00:01:22] of the Islamic Revolution, if the US continues its gambling
[00:01:25] like behavior in the war, it will receive drastic blows from the resistance.
[00:01:30] front in his Wednesday message told said Musabah
[00:01:33] Khamenen once again warned of a broader response to any new
[00:01:37] act of aggression against the round while praising powerful acts of
[00:01:41] heroism by the resistance
[00:01:45] of front.
[00:01:47] of Iran's foreign ministry spokesman has strongly
[00:01:51] condemned the German foreign minister's latest remarks that were aimed at
[00:01:55] justifying the US Israel aggression against Iran. Ismile
[00:01:59] ba comment
[00:02:00] in a social media post after Yoan Vaderfall falsely claimed
[00:02:04] that the cause
[00:02:05] of of the aggression was terron's pursuit of nuclear weapons and supporting armed groups
[00:02:09] in neighboring countries. Reacting to his remarks Bagai said
[00:02:13] Vaderfall has forgotten that Germany's chancellor Fredrich Schmerz
[00:02:17] once enthusiastically declared that Israel was
[00:02:21] doing our dirty work with its attack on Iran. A few months
[00:02:24] later Murt lamented that the war on Iran had cost Europe
[00:02:28] hundre billion euros. Vago noted that now his foreign
[00:02:32] minister feels compelled to justify the military assault on
[00:02:36] of Iran. He added that
[00:02:37] a waterfall's remarks are marked by such indifference and such profound
[00:02:41] moral decay that he neither acknowledges the human casualties and
[00:02:45] war crimes
[00:02:46] of committed nor grasp the economic damage that the war has
[00:02:49] inflicted on his own country and
[00:02:51] Europe.
[00:02:58] Resistance activists from the world gathered in Iran's holy city of
[00:03:02] of mashad for the closing ceremony
[00:03:04] of the international conference of mujahidin in exile. The
[00:03:08] conference concluded on Tuesday
[00:03:10] of evening, it brought together voices opposing imperialism and
[00:03:13] zionism,
[00:03:15] of sending message of solidarity among resistance movements. Prestivis atana
[00:03:19] ravi reports from mashad northeast
[00:03:21] Iran.
[00:03:25] Resistance activists from across the globe have gathered inside
[00:03:29] the. shrine of Imam Raza, the 8th Shiah Imam, for
[00:03:33] the closing ceremony
[00:03:34] of the international conference of Mujahidin in exile, a
[00:03:38] conference that brings together those who stand for dignity and justice
[00:03:42] from across the world without seeking fame or personal
[00:03:46] of gain. The conference also provides a platform for
[00:03:49] participants
[00:03:51] of to a discuss the unity of freedom advocates around the world
[00:03:54] against hegemony,
[00:03:57] of imperialism and global zionism. The priority is that the
[00:04:01] empire thought that if they
[00:04:04] murdered your supreme leader that this would cause
[00:04:08] division and chaos and then ultimately regime change and it
[00:04:12] did exactly the opposite. um, mean
[00:04:16] the supreme leader, think
[00:04:17] of everybody, especially in iran or sensible people see him as a father
[00:04:21] figure,
[00:04:22] you know, he
[00:04:23] of had that kind of fatherly presence. this
[00:04:25] program,
[00:04:27] a actually it is a program that... make people
[00:04:31] work up for their right like what the leader
[00:04:35] of said did, he showed the people and he
[00:04:39] of showed the whole world that people must raise
[00:04:43] up, so we must raise up to get our
[00:04:47] right, using the opportunity,
[00:04:50] participants have also
[00:04:52] of reaffirmed their allegiance to the martard
[00:04:54] leader, expressing
[00:04:58] their
[00:04:59] of commitment to:
[00:05:05] of
[00:05:07] faith and how to remain strong and steadfast on the path of Allah following the example
[00:05:11] of Imam Hussein. whose sacrifice, selflessness, and
[00:05:15] devotion to the truth continue to inspire us all. His
[00:05:18] influence and the love people held for him transcended borders, reaching
[00:05:22] from Lebanon to Syria, Iran and Yemen, and extending as far
[00:05:26] as America and many other parts the world. There
[00:05:30] are simply no words that can truly describe him, his noble character,
[00:05:34] his beauty of spirit, or the values he hoped to see reflected in
[00:05:38] us. We will always strive to live up to the values he taught us,
[00:05:42] remain. faithful to his guidance and continue along the path he wanted
[00:05:45] us to follow. the conference sends a clear message to the
[00:05:49] world: the resistance leaves on as the wave
[00:05:53] of averness spreads across the globe.
[00:05:57] resistance against oppression is deeply rooted in the human heart and its
[00:06:01] inherent desire for freedom. it is therefore no surprise that this
[00:06:05] spirit manifests itself across the globe. the blood the mortic
[00:06:08] leader has now become a spark, igniting the flames of freedom,
[00:06:12] and inspiring the struggle against depression, press
[00:06:16] tv, yemen's
[00:06:20] army has announced a series of successful military operations against
[00:06:24] Saudi military targets, the armed forces spokesperson Yahya
[00:06:28] Sari said ballistic missile targeted King Colled International
[00:06:31] Airport in Riyadh causing significant damage. He also said
[00:06:35] the MN army shot down another Saudi spy drone over Tais
[00:06:39] province, the yemini top general further announced a successful
[00:06:42] attack against Saudi backed reinforcements in Aldjorf
[00:06:46] province reporting dozens of casualties. Sari warned
[00:06:50] that Saudi Arab space was unsafe and called on international airlines
[00:06:54] and passengers to avoid
[00:06:55] it.
[00:07:03] Thousands of injured Palestinians in Gaza are left without basic
[00:07:06] assistive devices amid a collapsed healthcare system and the
[00:07:10] ongoing Israeli blockaid. with wheelchar imports restricted
[00:07:14] and market prices sooring, even everyday
[00:07:17] movement has become a major struggle for families force to carry their
[00:07:21] loved ones across devastated areas, christies
[00:07:25] minasal
[00:07:26] reports.
[00:07:31] the suffering of thousands of injured and sick Palestinians in Gaza is
[00:07:35] compounded by the Israely blockade that prevents the
[00:07:38] entry of wheelchairs and other assistive devices.
[00:07:42] Nabil's story mirrors this painful reality, having lost
[00:07:46] both legs in an air strike, his life is now confined to
[00:07:50] remote tent, relying entirely on his wife for his daily
[00:07:54] needs. Nabil awaits a wheelchair ease the heavy
[00:07:57] burden she carries every
[00:07:59] day. All I need right now is a
[00:08:03] prosthetic limb or a wheelchair to regain my mobility, but with the border
[00:08:07] crossings closed, nothing is coming in and whatever is available in the market
[00:08:11] is far too expensive for. to afford. On top of that, living intense
[00:08:15] makes using a wheelchair extremely difficult because the roads are destroyed and
[00:08:19] the area is completely unpaved. The wheelchair behind me is old,
[00:08:22] worn out and practically unusable. My wife is the one who carries me,
[00:08:26] helps me to the bathroom and takes care of all my daily needs.
[00:08:30] In another tragedy of displacement, 10 year old
[00:08:33] Haidar lost his leg an air strike a school where
[00:08:37] he and his family had sought shelter. He had been playing in the
[00:08:41] schoolyard. just moments before the missels struck,
[00:08:45] killing and injuring thousands. i found my
[00:08:49] son hydar injured alongside another young girl after the bombing that took
[00:08:53] place early 2024 when four missiles targeted the school
[00:08:57] where we were sheltering as displaced
[00:08:58] people. following his injury,
[00:09:02] header's mother secured a medical referral for him to travel
[00:09:06] abroad and receive a prosthatic limp. the prosthatic has
[00:09:10] become worn out and unusable. leaving him back at
[00:09:13] square one and in need of new assistive
[00:09:17] equipment. i could hardly believe it when
[00:09:21] hydar's medical evacuation referral came through. the ministry of health called
[00:09:25] me to arrange his travel to Egypt for treatment, accompanied by his
[00:09:28] grandmother. i have two other disabled children, they
[00:09:32] all desperately need wheelchairs, which are much more practical for them than
[00:09:36] prosthetic limbs because they allow them to move around more
[00:09:39] easily.
[00:09:42] navigating dirt roads littered with rebel and waste, a child
[00:09:46] debrived of a blay and ildery person weakened by illness and
[00:09:50] displacement, face the same harsh reality, unable
[00:09:53] to move without assistance, both depend on loved ones
[00:09:57] who carry them along this difficult pass every
[00:10:00] day. tv, gaza
[00:10:02] city. the south african
[00:10:06] president has hailed the republicans defeat in US mid-term elections,
[00:10:10] saying the democrats route the... republicans aerolds a new
[00:10:14] era in world relations. the
[00:10:18] results of US mid-terms could though strain ties between
[00:10:21] pretoria and washington. his remarks came on the back. of
[00:10:25] rising tensions between the two countries in recent years over host
[00:10:29] of issues, including trade and diplomacy. the tensions
[00:10:33] prompted president Trump's administration to cut aid to South
[00:10:36] Africa, impose tariffs on the country and offer white
[00:10:40] africana asylum over unfounded claims of a white
[00:10:44] genocide. South African foren minister Ronald Lamola
[00:10:48] also reacted to the Democrat win, he said a social media
[00:10:52] post that the defeat the Republicans was
[00:10:54] the victory. for democracy, accountability and the international rule
[00:10:58] of law, lamulo added that the result the US mid-terms was
[00:11:02] also a victory for those who believe that relations between
[00:11:05] countries should be governed by predictability and mutual
[00:11:09] respect.
[00:11:15] political analyst John says western leaders are shifting their
[00:11:19] narratives escape accountability for the aggression against Iran
[00:11:23] following the Republicans defeat. in US mid-term
[00:11:26] elections,
[00:11:30] but down in the United States, many
[00:11:32] conservative,
[00:11:35] religious, traditional supporters the
[00:11:38] Republican Party who believed Donald Trump when he said, no
[00:11:42] more wars turned against him, and they voted in
[00:11:46] droves against him, many republicans actually
[00:11:50] voted Democrat to finish this
[00:11:52] presidency's warlike. aspects
[00:11:55] off. Trump, however, is
[00:11:58] still the war president, because he took the bribes
[00:12:02] from the Israel lobby to make that war. So what we're
[00:12:06] seeing here is deniability effort on the part of
[00:12:10] J.D. Vans, he quotes the president, he says the president
[00:12:14] blamed the war on Iran for the loss, but
[00:12:17] he repeated it himself, so that if President Trump's
[00:12:21] ratings continue to fall, J.D. Vansk. can put
[00:12:25] himself forward as the man who was always against the war on
[00:12:28] Iran and he had to come out publicly later, so we're
[00:12:32] seeing the uh the new plot for the next
[00:12:36] election being planned right now. Andy Burnham is
[00:12:40] not the prime minister of England, he is the Roth child
[00:12:44] puppet running England. They're losing money, so they're
[00:12:47] calling off the war. It has nothing to do with
[00:12:51] justice, with liberty, with the protection of human life.
[00:12:55] nothing at all, it's just another puppet
[00:12:58] saying whatever the string pullers
[00:13:01] say.
[00:13:06] West Asia expert saib shah joined us earlier, he says the same
[00:13:10] European leaders were enabled and supported Trump and Israeli regime
[00:13:14] in their aggression against Iran and now asking for attention to the
[00:13:18] cost of living
[00:13:18] issues.
[00:13:23] The Iranian leader. ship made sure there is nothing
[00:13:27] go across the straight of hormos and not a drop of
[00:13:31] oil going there and you can see every day there is a three to
[00:13:35] four super tankers being blown up by mines
[00:13:39] while Iran warn them not to go there but these
[00:13:43] tankers were forced by the Americans and they told them they will cover
[00:13:46] their insurance they will cover the whole thing and bushing them all of
[00:13:50] that didn't affect any on the market
[00:13:54] prices still. hiking, the inflation is high in the
[00:13:58] United States of America, the cost of living, not just in the United States of America, in
[00:14:02] west Europe, all over, it's the the international
[00:14:05] economy nearly off the clef at the minute, this is why
[00:14:09] you see prime minister the UK focusing on the cost
[00:14:13] of living and wanted the whole world to focus on that,
[00:14:17] European leaders as well saying the same
[00:14:21] thing, all these leaders are cowards, they weren't saying did
[00:14:25] anything to Trump, they were allowing their
[00:14:29] country to be used as a launch pad for attacks
[00:14:32] against
[00:14:33] Iran.
[00:14:37] The British Supreme Court is holding two-day hearing to determine
[00:14:40] whether the government's designation the Palestine Action Activist group
[00:14:44] as a terrorist organization should stand on the first day the hearing on
[00:14:48] Wednesday at least 20 people were arrested as supporters
[00:14:52] gathered outside the London Court opposed. with these as the government's
[00:14:56] crackdown on free expression
[00:15:00] was there and sent us this
[00:15:01] report.
[00:15:07] the Iranian
[00:15:08] leadership
[00:15:12] made. the UK government designated palestine action as a terrorist
[00:15:15] organization last year after the group's activist carried out
[00:15:19] direct action aimed at preventing genocide and war crimes in
[00:15:22] palestine. the ban makes it a to be member of palestine
[00:15:26] action or to invite support for the group. the supreme
[00:15:30] court began hearing an appeal on wednesday to determine whether
[00:15:34] the ban was lawful. outside the court, police
[00:16:07] that the post did not meet the criminal threshold, protesters accused the
[00:16:11] UK government of applying double standards and eroding democratic
[00:16:15] rights, terrible about the people in Palestine, the
[00:16:19] ongoing suffering, and then other
[00:16:22] reason is the awfulness of this government,
[00:16:26] which is is just so complicit,
[00:16:30] um, we stood against as a country, we stood against the
[00:16:34] apartite in South Africa and
[00:16:38] now our government is just complicit with a country
[00:16:42] that is murdering and has long
[00:16:46] murdered and stolen and
[00:16:50] lied and is aparty
[00:16:53] country and also in this country
[00:16:57] our democratic rights to protest are
[00:17:00] being slowly eroded,
[00:17:03] so I feel so strongly that I need to be here.
[00:17:07] Uh, I'm here because I'm frightened and saddened by
[00:17:11] the prescription of Palestine Action. Um,
[00:17:15] uh, and today there's a hearing in the Supreme Court today and tomorrow, and I hope that it's
[00:17:19] overturned. The hearing concludes on Thursday, with a judgement
[00:17:22] expected a later date. Supporters say the decision to
[00:17:26] prescribe palestine action is attack on freedom of speech
[00:17:30] and the right to protest. Outside the UK Supreme Court, the
[00:17:34] Nation's highest tribunal, the legality of designating palestine action
[00:17:38] as a terrorist organization will face its ultimate scrutiny, the
[00:17:41] question remains, can such prescription truly withstand the test of lawful
[00:17:45] justice. zahra khife,
[00:17:48] press tv, london. South
[00:17:51] Africans are voting in local government elections, widely seen as a
[00:17:55] test of support for the ruling African National Congress or
[00:17:59] ANC. Voters are electing municipal councils
[00:18:03] which will subsequently choose mayors. Elections cover
[00:18:06] 250. 57 municipal councils across the
[00:18:10] country. Press TVs Hasan Serial reports on the significance the polls
[00:18:14] and the issues concerning the
[00:18:16] voters.
[00:18:23] Some the key things that people are demanding is for example access
[00:18:27] to basic services, water, electricity,
[00:18:30] housing. You have certain situations in informal settlements where people do
[00:18:34] not have proper housing, they are still living in shacks where the...
[00:18:37] one running tap that is servicing a community of about 4,000
[00:18:41] people, there's uh no sanitation, there's no access to toilets for
[00:18:45] example, so these are some the key issues that are
[00:18:49] driving the uh the the the voters in terms of
[00:18:52] what they are voting for, they're looking for some sort of alternatives, people that
[00:18:56] we've also spoken to uh people have told us they simply don't
[00:19:00] know who to vote for because they don't see any party that they
[00:19:04] can trust and that is offering them the
[00:19:08] tangible solutions to deliver on these requirements
[00:19:12] that they have. there's another aspect that is also
[00:19:16] informing people's opinions in here in terms of who they vote for,
[00:19:19] and that is the issue of Palestine. now these aren't of course national
[00:19:23] elections, this doesn't inform foreign policy, but there are
[00:19:27] parties for example, such as the Democratic Alliance, which uh
[00:19:31] governs and rules here in the city of Cape Town, that
[00:19:35] is a party that is closely aligned. with the zionist regime, it for
[00:19:39] example, has sent its leaders over to Israel,
[00:19:43] we've also had a situation where we've seen their
[00:19:47] leaders, the democratic alliance leaders shaking the hands of Benjamin
[00:19:51] Netanyahu, so people are also keeping this in mind that they cannot be
[00:19:55] voting for parties such as the DA and number of other smaller parties that
[00:19:59] are right leaning and do have these sort of ties with the
[00:20:02] zionist regime, three weeks
[00:20:06] after away, of vandalism swept through Paris, many affected
[00:20:10] businesses are still bearing the scar the destruction.
[00:20:14] shopkeepers are questioning whether
[00:20:15] president's promise has been delivered
[00:20:19] on compensation as damaged stores remain closed in their own
[00:20:23] struggle to recover. rest tv correspondent said al-Ashar has
[00:20:27] visited several affected businesses, many them muslim owned to
[00:20:31] hear from those whose livelihoods have been put at
[00:20:34] risk.
[00:20:46] Where will get the money? Who can help us?
[00:20:51] how will run our
[00:20:52] business?
[00:21:00] shopkeepers affected by the vandalism are still asking these
[00:21:03] questions. three weeks on,
[00:21:07] many their businesses remain damaged and
[00:21:10] closed, as investigations
[00:21:14] continue, but what exactly did they go through that
[00:21:17] day? This
[00:21:21] is our monitor, they broken
[00:21:24] it and they also took our
[00:21:27] pc, so everything is inside the
[00:21:31] pc, one the vandals tried to hit me
[00:21:35] with this metal bar before throwing it to the ground, that
[00:21:38] Saturday was terrifying, I tried to protect myself and my
[00:21:42] shop, but I couldn't. I called the
[00:21:46] police at
[00:21:47] the time, but they did not respond. I was left.
[00:22:20] "the government is responsible and must compensate
[00:22:23] us.
[00:22:24] Macon must honor his promises and stand by our
[00:22:27] side. While Muslims
[00:22:31] and immigrants were accused by far right voices of
[00:22:35] being behind the vandalism, many them have actually
[00:22:38] found themselves among its
[00:22:40] victims.
[00:22:46] Genuine Musulman never do it, they believe in Allah.
[00:22:50] they they believe that if they do
[00:22:53] anything bad work, they never
[00:22:56] will go jannat, so genuine
[00:23:00] Musalman never do it, i believe
[00:23:03] it, and
[00:23:06] here shopkeepers are boarding up their store front to protect them
[00:23:10] from further damage, for many, these
[00:23:14] wooden panels offer more reassurance than government

[00:23:59] a saga of resilience against overwhelming odds,
[00:24:03] delve into the gripping struggle the Yemani forces as they
[00:24:07] confront the largest naval coalition in
[00:24:09] history.
[00:24:15] This powerful documentary highlights their unwavering commitment to
[00:24:19] justice in the... face of adversity revealing the human
[00:24:22] spirit's triumph over
[00:24:24] darkness.
[00:25:06] May the peace, blessings and mercy of God be upon you. Will
[00:25:09] the saudi regime fall or more precisely, will
[00:25:13] Muhammad bin Salman bring down the al saud regime as
[00:25:17] result of his war in Yemen. "the answer to this question
[00:25:21] is neither easy nor straightforward, because the Saudi
[00:25:24] regime is not easy to overthrow for several
[00:25:28] reasons. One them is that it has eliminated any
[00:25:32] political or social structure that could pose a thread, even
[00:25:36] a potential one. Over the years, this policy has been
[00:25:39] pursued by every al-Saud monarch, from Abdul Aziz
[00:25:43] al-Soud to the present day. Any arrival to the Saudi
[00:25:47] royal family was eliminated. whether through military defeats
[00:25:51] and battles in the early 20th century or after the
[00:25:54] establishment the kingdom of south political parties were
[00:25:58] eliminated and political activity, trade unions and similar.
[00:26:02] organizations were banned, this is one aspect. On the
[00:26:06] other hand, this regime possesses enormous financial
[00:26:10] resources thanks to its oil wealth. It uses these
[00:26:14] resources to secure the highest possible level of loyalty
[00:26:17] and ensure a minimum degree of social stability,
[00:26:21] which in turn sustains its power. Further more, this
[00:26:25] regime has succeeded in imposing religious doctrine, or rather
[00:26:29] a particular form of Islam that prohibits.
[00:27:32] completely monopolized Islam and the right to declare
[00:27:36] jihad. For example, we saw how the Saudi regime
[00:27:39] managed to mobilized Muslims and Arabs to participate in the so-called
[00:27:43] Afghan jihad in the 1980s, under the banner
[00:27:47] the United States against the Soviet occupation of
[00:27:51] Afghanistan. We also saw this regime sent terrorists to
[00:27:54] Iraq to destroy
[00:27:56] the country
[00:27:57] and its social fabric following
[00:27:59] the US invasion in 2003. This one. Despite
[00:28:03] the fact that the very existence of this regime, I'm referring to the
[00:28:06] Saudi regime, was one the foundations upon which the United
[00:28:10] States relied in destroying Iraq, subsequently
[00:28:14] beseeging it and continuing to devastate the country until the
[00:28:17] 2003 invasion. Later, we also saw the
[00:28:21] Saudi regime mobilize fighters to wage war on Syria an
[00:28:25] effort to overthrow the government of former Syrian President Bashar
[00:28:29] Al-Assad. Here, let us recall... what
[00:28:33] hamad bin jasim, Qatar's former prime minister and foreign
[00:28:36] minister, said in his famous interview with Ammarhi
[00:28:40] on the Blackbox program. He revealed how Saudi
[00:28:44] king Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz summoned him and told him,
[00:28:48] you Qataris must take the lead, and we will support
[00:28:52] you behind the scenes. With what, he asked, by working
[00:28:56] to overthrow Bashar al-Assasad's government. Hamad bin
[00:29:00] Jassim also revealed how later... when Bandar bin
[00:29:03] Sultan took charge the Syrian file, he demanded that the
[00:29:07] countries allied against Bashar Al-Assad's government
[00:29:11] contribute two billion dollars to finance the operation to
[00:29:14] overthrow it. These are examples of how this regime has
[00:29:18] opposed any form of joint Arab action. It
[00:29:22] fought Arab nationalism and it was movement for liberation and
[00:29:26] independence, particularly during the era of Kamal
[00:29:29] Abdul. Later it monopolized the ability. to mobilize
[00:29:33] the Arab masses for armed struggle, whether in Afghanistan,
[00:29:36] Iraq or more recently in Syria. This
[00:29:40] policy implemented over decades, has led to the elimination of
[00:29:44] every rival, including those who could have posed the threat to the
[00:29:48] regime's existence in the Arab world. As result of this
[00:29:51] policy, we can say that one the factors contributing to the regime's
[00:29:55] stability is that there is currently no Arab power
[00:29:59] capable of challenging it or attempting to overthrow it.
[00:30:03] Moreover, no power is willing to overthrow it. Added
[00:30:07] to this, and more importantly, is the fact that this regime has
[00:30:10] always enjoyed the protection of western powers. For example, when
[00:30:14] Britain was the dominant western power, King Abdul Aziz before
[00:30:18] ascending to the throne, signed an agreement with the British in
[00:30:22] 1915 known as the treaty of Darin or the
[00:30:25] treaty of Qatif. Later the US influence grew,
[00:30:29] the famous meeting between King Abdul Aziz and US president
[00:30:33] Franklin D Roosevelt took place aboard a ship in
[00:30:36] 1945. This meeting known as the Quincy
[00:30:40] Agreement or the Quincy Treaty.
