[00:00:03] of
[00:00:10] Iranian media reports that the Iran Oman Hormus
[00:00:14] framework is likely to impose fines for violations
[00:00:18] in of the proposed transit
[00:00:19] restrictions. Hello and welcome to
[00:00:23] TRT World. We're live from London. I'm Maria Ramos
[00:00:26] of also ahead on this program.
[00:00:32] In Yemen, at least 35 government troops are reported to have been killed
[00:00:36] in hoothy attacks on military
[00:00:38] camps
[00:00:43] and Israeli forces launch wave of air strikes on southern Lebanon
[00:00:46] despite a fresh round of peace talks in
[00:00:50] of Rome, and Ukraine hits two oil
[00:00:54] refineries in multiple strikes inside Russia.
[00:00:57] Zelensky says the aim is limiting. Moscow's oil revenues
[00:01:01] to finance the
[00:01:02] war.
[00:01:18] Well, Iran says that deal with oman to reopen the
[00:01:21] of straight of hormos is now in its final stages with local
[00:01:25] media reporting that parliament is reviewing a draft bill.
[00:01:29] At MP has told the Phas news agency that the
[00:01:33] proposed legislation would bar US and Israeli
[00:01:37] ships from passing through the key waterway.
[00:01:41] After confirming an agreement with neighboring Oman, Iranian
[00:01:44] officials have said that, despite the deal, the resumption
[00:01:48] of unrestricted shipping remains contingent on the
[00:01:52] US, lifting its naval blockade of Iranian
[00:01:56] ports. Let's bring in TRT was.
[00:02:00] Hatamy who's in the Iranian capital Forest, good to see you,
[00:02:04] how close are we to - deal on hormores and what are we
[00:02:07] learning?
[00:02:14] Well, Maria, it was about 24 hours ago, or maybe a bit less,
[00:02:18] that Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said that Iran and Oman are
[00:02:22] on the verge of an agreement about the coordinates of
[00:02:26] a shipping route in the straight of still we are waiting for.
[00:02:30] that promised joint announcement by Iran and
[00:02:34] Oman about an agreement a shipping route in
[00:02:38] the straight of hormosben, this hasn't happened
[00:02:41] after about 24 hours, but the
[00:02:45] of details that we are getting is that there would be a an
[00:02:49] outbound lane and inbound lane, the inbound lane is located
[00:02:53] in the north
[00:02:54] of the straight of armus closer to raining territorial waters,
[00:02:58] that root is going to be totally controlled by Iran, the
[00:03:02] southern route, which is close to Omani
[00:03:06] territorial waters, that would be the outbound route, and
[00:03:09] part of it, or half of it would be controlled by Iran, so
[00:03:13] this deal would basically give
[00:03:16] of Iran control and authority
[00:03:18] of over this strategic waterway, and these two lanes will be
[00:03:22] temporary, according to Iran's deputy foreign minister, they will be
[00:03:26] valid for about two to four months and in the meantime,
[00:03:30] 'demining operations will take place in the straight of formus, and
[00:03:33] after that two or four month period, then a new
[00:03:37] route, in the next phase
[00:03:40] of the agreement, new route will be announced that would be in the
[00:03:43] middle, in the
[00:03:45] of center
[00:03:45] of the straight of armus, so-called median lane,
[00:03:49] and that route would be permanent, we are still
[00:03:53] of of waiting for more details, we understand that Tehran and Mascat still
[00:03:57] continue their discussions, their talks and the'.
[00:04:00] consultations um and we're waiting to see
[00:04:03] whether that much awaited deal is going to take
[00:04:07] place anytime soon. absolutely, all eyes on that
[00:04:10] announcement. reza, thank you so much, reza hatami live there from
[00:04:14] Tehran. well, for his part, US
[00:04:18] vice president J. Vans has called Iranian officials
[00:04:21] extraordinarily difficult, and that it will take time
[00:04:25] to reach a consensus. certainly understand the American
[00:04:29] people and maybe looking at this and they say, well, it seems like we're making progress and
[00:04:33] then it seems like we're not. well, the reality Laura is that number one, the Iranians are
[00:04:37] a extraordinarily difficult people. number two, they have a
[00:04:40] fractured system, so there are people within their system who want
[00:04:44] of the war to be over, there are also people within their system who are crazy radicals who
[00:04:48] want the war to continue. well, north
[00:04:52] america correspondent john brain joins us live from Washington
[00:04:55] of DC. John, what do JDV Vance's comments tell us about the deal
[00:04:58] in uh that we're waiting to? about and also the interactions
[00:05:02] between Iran and the US right
[00:05:04] now,
[00:05:09] well I think ultimately it tells us that the... went into
[00:05:13] this conflict without a proper understanding the Iranian
[00:05:17] mentality or the Iranian setta and they seem to have
[00:05:21] learned little from the subsequent five months, don't they?
[00:05:24] the fact that the Iranians weren't necessarily speaking with
[00:05:28] one voice when they're negotiated with the U.S. uh, that's been a
[00:05:32] major frustration for the administration, they think they've
[00:05:35] got a deal, and then it turns out that the more hardline elements
[00:05:39] in Tehran have vetoed it. in terms of...
[00:05:42] this arrangement or apparent arrangement between Iran
[00:05:46] and Oman, the US is still waiting to be
[00:05:49] presented with the specific details of it, uh, they
[00:05:53] remain ad, the US remains adoment that Iran
[00:05:57] cannot come out of this war with control over the
[00:06:00] straight of homoz, which from what Rezza has been
[00:06:03] saying is what the iran, Iran thinks that it
[00:06:07] will have uh influence and control over, so so I think
[00:06:11] it's still a long way to... go before the Americans will
[00:06:14] be prepared to lift their blockade and be accept
[00:06:18] this agreement. Having said all that, there is a pretty much a
[00:06:21] desperation within the Trump administration that this
[00:06:25] conflict is brought to an end as swiftly as possible, so it
[00:06:29] may be uh that the administration is prepared to overlook some
[00:06:33] elements of any deal uh if they feel those elements can
[00:06:37] be uh brushed under the carpet so to
[00:06:40] speak. For now, thank you, John Braint live from
[00:06:44] Washington DC. Well, Yemen's
[00:06:48] hoofis have killed at least 35 government troops in missile and drone
[00:06:51] attacks on military camps in Hadraunt and Marib.
[00:06:55] The Houthies say that this attack is in response to an alleged military
[00:06:59] builder backed by neighboring Saudi Arabia.
[00:07:03] Now fighting between the Hufis and the Saudi Araline government has
[00:07:07] escalated over the past month. This is the deadliest
[00:07:10] fighting in Yemen since.
[00:07:21] this latest operation
[00:07:24] that have that has been revealed by the his military
[00:07:27] spokesperson yah says that they have targeted this these
[00:07:31] positions in in raik and also
[00:07:35] in in areas in hadramote and marip he says that they have targeted
[00:07:39] these areas as there are some
[00:07:42] military built up there, the says that they have waged
[00:07:46] the preemptive strikes, and they have he has also
[00:07:50] warned the yemenis there not to join the military
[00:07:53] camps in these areas, while the senior
[00:07:57] official the Yemen government says that the
[00:08:01] the group is under mounting pressure, that's that's
[00:08:04] why and they have carried out these
[00:08:07] operations as he mentioned or
[00:08:11] described at his at his account at
[00:08:15] x website, he also mentioned that the
[00:08:19] there is all the only way is to end what he described as the
[00:08:23] militaus co against the international recognized government, while
[00:08:26] the the military spokes person the hutis, he
[00:08:30] has made it clear that they will continue their uh what they have
[00:08:33] already uh declared the uh the operations the sage for
[00:08:37] sage they want to
[00:08:39] to wais more pressure on Saudi Arabia we
[00:08:41] are talking about nearly eight ships that have been uh targeted by
[00:08:44] the uh the houties known as the ansar allah they have
[00:08:48] also uh been able to uh to turn uh
[00:08:52] back nearly 29 uh vessels so
[00:08:56] we are talking about since the beginning the their blockade they have been
[00:08:59] able to attack vessels near the Gulf of
[00:09:03] Aiden and also uh off the coast the Saudi
[00:09:07] uh Saudi seaport of
[00:09:09] Yambo all the speaks.
[00:09:12] person for Pakistan's foreign ministry has said that the Prime Minister Sheikh
[00:09:16] Bash Sharif will begin an official visit to Saudi Arabia on Thursday
[00:09:20] accompanied by a high level delegation.
[00:09:24] Though taking place against the backdrop of height and tensions in the
[00:09:27] Gulf, the visit will carry immense
[00:09:31] significance beyond the immediate crisis and
[00:09:35] short term considerations. It will further strengthen bilateral
[00:09:39] relations, deepen strategic cooperation.
[00:09:44] Well three days of peace talks between the US, Israel and Lebanon
[00:09:47] in Rome have just come to closed, discussions reportedly
[00:09:51] focused on pilot zones in southern Lebanon, but the talks were
[00:09:55] overshadowed by continued Israeli violence in Lebanon south,
[00:09:58] which threatened to derail negotiations entirely. Prian
[00:10:02] Canani reports from
[00:10:03] Beirot. On the eve
[00:10:07] the last day of talks in Rome, this was the scene in southern Lebanon, the town
[00:10:11] of Burja Shim. was hit by massive Israeli strikes, injuring over
[00:10:15] dozen Lebaneses. Thursday morning, news stands were peppered
[00:10:19] with both headlines: talks in Rome meant to bring peace, and the
[00:10:23] strikes on southern Lebanon bringing anything.
[00:10:34] have no meaning, the negotiations that are happening are waste of
[00:10:37] time, we are facing a zionist terrorist
[00:10:41] enemy, what the Israelis are doing in the south is a policy of
[00:10:44] destruction, others said strikes or no
[00:10:48] strikes, they don't believe anything can come the
[00:10:51] talks,
[00:10:55] never committed to any agreement, every agreement that the Israelis do, they
[00:10:58] don't honor. the three-day summit constituted the seventh round of Israeli
[00:11:02] lebanese talks in the last few months, direct talks that are ordinarily
[00:11:06] unheard of. well progress has been made in the form of security
[00:11:10] framework that called for occupying Israeli troops to slowly be replaced by the
[00:11:14] Lebanese army, the progress these pilot zones on the ground has
[00:11:18] been slow, and some argue Lebanon is giving more than it's
[00:11:21] getting. unfortunately, until now... gain
[00:11:25] any uh good point regarding what's regarding the
[00:11:28] regarding talks in in Rome or with the Israelies, all what we could
[00:11:32] achieve was the
[00:11:34] seasfire, it's not a full sease
[00:11:38] fire, the Israelies are bombing every day in the south and
[00:11:41] are invading more more regions, they are not retreating
[00:11:45] from any the occupied regions and many agree the
[00:11:49] uptaken strikes during the talks was no coincidence, the
[00:11:53] elephant in the room is the issue. of Hezballah's weapons, both the Lebanese
[00:11:57] and Israeli governments have said that they want the group disarmed, but
[00:12:01] Hezballah
[00:12:02] is not party to these talks and the Lebanese government has yet to put
[00:12:06] forth any sort of substantitive plan, in part because Lebanese are
[00:12:09] divided on the issue, but this standoff leads many to
[00:12:13] believe that the talks in Rome will do little to affect their reality on
[00:12:17] the ground. Prijon, TRT World in
[00:12:20] Beirot. Well Israely
[00:12:24] forces. are storming the calandia refugee camp in the occupied west bank
[00:12:28] now for second day with 16 palestinians now
[00:12:32] injured. 60 people have so far been arrested. Israel says its forces
[00:12:36] are targeting in their words terrorist elements in the camp which is
[00:12:40] home to more than 16,000 palestinian refugees.
[00:12:43] local media reported the Israeli army distributing leaflet
[00:12:47] saying a large scale raid was being carried out.
[00:12:51] Ozenna Tahan is outside the camp in occupied East
[00:12:55] Jerusalem and has the latest for
[00:12:58] us, it's been
[00:13:01] 40, more than 41 hours since Israel began its large
[00:13:05] scale military assault on the qalandia refugee
[00:13:09] camp, and now we're a bit further from the entrance to the camp than we were
[00:13:13] previously reporting earlier in the day, because israely forces
[00:13:17] prevented journalists from covering, they removed them from the
[00:13:20] entire area and blockaded it off and they fired directly at
[00:13:24] us. stun grenades uh, the the assault is still
[00:13:28] ongoing with hundreds of soldiers as well as special forces,
[00:13:32] police and paramilitary uh border
[00:13:34] police uh operating inside the
[00:13:38] camp, arresting Palestinians, mass raiding homes
[00:13:41] and the destroying contents these homes, vandalizing them,
[00:13:45] as we often see in the occupied West Bank a daily basis,
[00:13:49] now there are upwards of 16,000 people inside this
[00:13:53] camp that are under siege, for the second day uh
[00:13:57] there is no one allowed in or out with the with the um
[00:14:00] entrances into the camp closed off and there is a curfew, no
[00:14:04] one is allowed in the streets even to get anything eat or um
[00:14:08] or so. the Israeli military has also prevented and
[00:14:12] obstructed the work of ambulances trying to
[00:14:15] evacuate those 16 people who were injured, the majority them with
[00:14:19] severe physical assault including multiple men in their
[00:14:22] early to late 50s. so you're talking about elderly people
[00:14:26] being beaten up and what's happening is that the Israeli military breaks
[00:14:30] down people's home front doors - barges in
[00:14:34] or storms the house with 10 to 15 soldiers, they carry out
[00:14:38] physical assault against the residents, they carry out mass
[00:14:41] interrogations, over at least 60 people
[00:14:45] have been interrogated so far and arrested according to the
[00:14:48] palestinian prisoner society
[00:14:51] and it's very important to note. two things,
[00:14:55] one, this is a main road, it is very vital
[00:14:59] artery, uh, as you
[00:15:01] can see, there should be cars bumper to bumper, but the movement is very
[00:15:04] weak, uh, this road ties between the north and
[00:15:08] the center the occupied west bank with Jerusalem and the south, so
[00:15:12] the fact that they are blocking the movement here means that they are
[00:15:16] affecting tens of thousands of people who move through here every day,
[00:15:20] for work, for health care, for other, their own businesses. addition
[00:15:24] to that, the Israel Military has been demolishing Palestinian
[00:15:27] businesses, they've been carrying
[00:15:30] out demolitions of Palestinian car washes, clothes,
[00:15:34] stores and other businesses here.
[00:15:37] in around the Colandia refugee camp and
[00:15:41] near the Collandia military checkpoint. And the last note is very
[00:15:45] important to make, there are no, I mean the Israeli military is talking about this
[00:15:49] being a military operation, but there are no armed elements
[00:15:53] inside these camps that are organized any way that would put up a
[00:15:56] front or to resist uh Israel's military.
