[00:00:31] of will lift its blockade of Iranian ports
[00:00:33] of when that happens. Colombia's new right-wing president is sworn
[00:00:37] in, he's immediately back to the $1 billion dollar security pledge from the
[00:00:41] of US. And how
[00:00:43] of Lebanon's children are catching up with school after having their education disrupted by

[00:00:47] war.
[00:01:06] Hello again, new deal between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan has committed them each
[00:01:10] other's defense as fall out from the war in Iran prompts new concerns around
[00:01:14] the region. The agreement has been signed in Mecca, it will see closer military
[00:01:18] cooperation. It will also include a NATO style collective defense
[00:01:21] clause, which means an attack on one will be considered attack on
[00:01:25] all. Those president says the agreement reaffirms the
[00:01:29] right to self-defense. says defined in the UN charter, he says it's not directed
[00:01:33] against any country in particular and is open to the participation of all brotherly

[00:01:51] Art Bash reports.
[00:01:55] when President Recep Typ Erdoan
[00:01:57] of arrived in Jidda on Friday, expectation
[00:02:11] Those expectations were quickly met. The three leaders
[00:02:15] signed what they called the mecca joint defense agreement. A landmark
[00:02:19] pact aim at deepening military cooperation and strengthening
[00:02:22] collective security between their countries. The
[00:02:26] agreement is built on the three countries longstanding historical.
[00:02:30] ties islamic solidarity and shared
[00:02:33] of strategic interests. its most significant provision is a collective
[00:02:37] defense commitment, stating that an armed attack against any one
[00:02:41] of the three nations will be regarded as an attack against them
[00:02:44] all. it also pledges to deepen defense cooperation
[00:02:48] a across
[00:02:48] of all sectors while strengthening
[00:02:53] of of collective deterrance with leaders saying the partnership is aimed at promoting regional peace, stability and
[00:02:56] security. the summit comes as all three countries seek to
[00:03:00] expand strategic cooperation
[00:03:02] of and it growing regional uncertainty. Turkey has been
[00:03:06] in actively involved in diplomatic efforts over Gaza, while
[00:03:10] Pakistan has played a role in mediation between the US and Iran
[00:03:13] in
[00:03:14] a recent tensions. Saudi Arabia meanwhile continues to
[00:03:18] position itself as key regional diplomatic actor. The
[00:03:22] new trilateral framework also builds on growing defense ties between
[00:03:26] Riyadh and Islamabad. Following their strategic mutual defense.
[00:03:30] agreement signed last year, the situation is
[00:03:34] so fragile, therefore the Pakistan, Saudi
[00:03:37] Arabia and the Turkey
[00:03:41] just came together just to keep the
[00:03:45] statico in the region at least in my opinion, and they
[00:03:49] just signed this agreement in Mecca,
[00:03:52] Mecca is the holiest site in Islam, and this also
[00:03:56] added have to pact,
[00:04:00] based on military
[00:04:02] of basis. of Officials say the agreement marks a
[00:04:05] significant step in institutionalizing security cooperation
[00:04:09] between the three regional powers with the new framework expected to
[00:04:13] pave the way for closer military coordination and expanded
[00:04:17] defense collaboration in the years
[00:04:20] a ahead. TRT world from
[00:04:24] occupied Jerusalem, our correspondent Muhammad has been telling us how the
[00:04:28] pact may affect Israel. "this worries
[00:04:32] Israel that wanted to create its own um
[00:04:35] of its of of own so-called NATO that want that would make
[00:04:39] it not only member in it, but also heavily
[00:04:43] involved, that is not going to happen, it up ends its
[00:04:47] ambitions, its strategic
[00:04:49] of plans to be involved in the middle
[00:04:52] east as logical member
[00:04:56] of this region, it's been trying over the past.
[00:05:00] many
[00:05:01] of years, but since 2018 to include
[00:05:05] more and more Arab and Muslim nations into the
[00:05:09] so-called abrahamic accords,
[00:05:12] and this this is a blow to this to these ambitions, it
[00:05:15] brings about three major countries, muslim
[00:05:19] countries together consolidating
[00:05:23] this these powers of all kind of powers, whether financial,
[00:05:27] military, you have one of those three countries that
[00:05:31] is that has nuclear
[00:05:34] weapons, another one that has been advancing
[00:05:38] rapidly with the industrial military.
[00:05:42] weaponary making and also the money making behind
[00:05:46] it, and even though there is no public
[00:05:50] statement that this is an alliance, a sunni alliance that is
[00:05:54] targeted against anyone in particular, but having those three
[00:05:57] major major sunni majority countries, three
[00:06:01] majority country, muslim majority countries
[00:06:05] involved together in such a pact
[00:06:08] extremely awaries Israel, again it up ends its plans.
[00:06:12] to be involved in the region on so many different levels and
[00:06:16] definitely it's going to slow the process of bringing in more and
[00:06:20] more countries into the so-called abrahamic
[00:06:23] accords. well for decades mainly relied on the
[00:06:27] US for its security, so the reaction from Washington will be interesting. our
[00:06:30] correspondent Craig Boswell, he's in the city and said still, no word from the
[00:06:34] White House. no public reaction from the
[00:06:38] White House, the US president Donald Trump departed Washington DC or...
[00:06:42] Friday evening without coming to cameras, but you can kind of put this new
[00:06:46] security pact in kind of that category. I think you mentioned a
[00:06:50] more fallout from this US-Israeli war on Iran as US
[00:06:54] partners in the region now seek new security arrangement. You can
[00:06:58] also kind of point to questions that this leads to about the
[00:07:02] durability of US security guarantees, also questions
[00:07:06] about uh Israel's expanding military operations,
[00:07:09] and uh it might be even more about reassessing
[00:07:13] their security arrangements then it is about a formal military
[00:07:17] alliance, but that of course remains to be seen as this is all very
[00:07:21] new and kind of comes back to what we talked about lot in late
[00:07:24] february around in march just after the US and Israel
[00:07:28] launched this war about did the US
[00:07:31] consider the impacts of launching those attacks and launching a
[00:07:35] war on Iran, did it consider the impacts to its US allies in
[00:07:39] the region, and it appears that uh the answer is: is
[00:07:43] likely didn't consider it enough and now this is kind the response to
[00:07:47] that and um so in in practice in theory
[00:07:50] rather
[00:07:51] this would be kind of like the NATO article 5 where if attack on
[00:07:55] one would be attack on on all so in theory will you in
[00:07:58] practice we'll have to see if it plays out that way by the way article
[00:08:02] 5ive the NATO pack it's only been uh invoked just one time and that
[00:08:06] was after 9/11. Terron has confirmed it's agreed
[00:08:10] the principles of deal with Oman regarding freedom. of navigation in the straight of
[00:08:14] mous, the future the waterway, the main reason for the recent flare up
[00:08:17] of titftat strikes between the US and Iran, in Tehran is
[00:08:21] Razza Hatami, Razza, any idea whether we may get some sort
[00:08:25] of confirmation of deal during the
[00:08:27] weekend,
[00:08:32] well that's a real possibility, it's been two or three days that we
[00:08:36] are waiting for that much anticipated joint statements
[00:08:39] by Iran and Oman confirming that the two country. have
[00:08:43] designated roots and corridors and
[00:08:46] geographic coordinates of roots within the straight
[00:08:50] off. the latest that we have heard from Iranian officials has been on
[00:08:54] Friday when a senior law maker Hasan Qashqawi again
[00:08:58] confirmed that general a general framework
[00:09:02] has been determined. he also said that we are
[00:09:05] waiting for finalization of details
[00:09:09] a final text as well as a joint statement. which he
[00:09:13] said would come soon, however the senior Iranian
[00:09:16] maker said that an approval is still needed
[00:09:20] at the higher levels without specifying that which
[00:09:24] level he is pointing exactly, but
[00:09:28] Iranian, Iranians have said that even if this deal is signed it
[00:09:32] doesn't mean that the straight of hormos will reopen
[00:09:35] automatically. Iran says that other conditions have to be met as
[00:09:39] well, most importantly the United States should...
[00:10:12] decades of sanctions and we are seeing more sanctions
[00:10:16] being imposed and this naval blockade is adding
[00:10:20] additional pressure because this blockade and coastline
[00:10:24] is meant to... show runs imports and exports
[00:10:27] and according to Xendcom up to now in the
[00:10:31] latest round the reimposition the blockade at least
[00:10:35] 49 Iranian vessels have been redirected, two
[00:10:39] them have been boarded by us forces and two have been
[00:10:42] disabled, so we are potentially looking at dozens of Iranian
[00:10:46] vessels being turned away, and as I said this
[00:10:50] is impacting Iranian imports and exports in daily life, it means
[00:10:54] more in. especially if
[00:10:55] it is for long, it means more devaluation the currency. Thank you very
[00:10:59] much, Razza. The UN Security
[00:11:03] Council is expressed concern over escalation of fighting in Yemen, calling on all
[00:11:07] parties to avoid actions that could threaten peace on Friday Huthi
[00:11:11] missile and a drone attack a displacement camp in the government held city of Marib killed at
[00:11:15] least two civilians. The day before hoothi missiles and drone strikes
[00:11:19] killed about 60 government troops. There was also separate attack, 11
[00:11:23] people injured inside Saudi Arabia.
[00:11:25] The Houthies control large areas of Yemen, including the capital Suna. They
[00:11:29] say the Saudi Lad coalition that have been fighting for the past 11 years is preparing a
[00:11:33] military
[00:11:33] offensive.
[00:11:40] Russian overnight strikes on Ukraine's Kiev region have killed three people including a
[00:11:44] child. Three others have been injured after multiple locations just outside the
[00:11:47] capital were also hit. In Kief itself, the mayor reports fires in
[00:11:51] two districts. Ukraine continues to face shortages of fair defense
[00:11:55] systems capable of intercepting ballistic missiles. Our correspondent Joel
[00:11:59] Flynn is in the Ukrainian capital. Uh, Joel, despite the pressure
[00:12:03] that Zelenski is trying to place, he has effectively become
[00:12:07] almost a begger and asking for these defensive interceptors,
[00:12:11] but when will they
[00:12:12] arrive?
[00:12:16] Yeah, and that's the question really in one that is being asked by civilians that are suffering
[00:12:20] through these almost nightly strikes. Now, look what happened last night, we
[00:12:23] were woken by it around. around uh 12 o'clock, the
[00:12:27] sound of ballistic missiles and drone explosions is of course a common
[00:12:31] thing to happen in kiev and across Ukraine as well, but it is
[00:12:35] particularly the ballistic missiles are that are concerning. last night's strikes that
[00:12:39] killed two grandparents and a three-year-old boy were a drone strike,
[00:12:43] those have been regular throughout this conflict, but
[00:12:46] it is the ballistic missiles that now Ukraine says it can't defend itself against
[00:12:50] because it doesn't have access to the interceptors that can bring these things down, they
[00:12:54] travel at incredible... speeds uh faster than the speed of sound, so the technology
[00:12:58] required to try and stop them is incredibly advanced as well. Ukraine
[00:13:02] has got through most, if not all of its supplies of especially the
[00:13:06] US Patriot system, but also things like the Sampt T, the Iris T, those are things that the
[00:13:09] Europeans um usually manufacture is result of trying
[00:13:13] to protect its cities since 2022. Vlodimir Zelinski is
[00:13:17] going cap in hand to all these uh partners, but particularly to the United
[00:13:21] States saying look, unless you give us these weapons we can't
[00:13:25] can't protect our civilians from the Russian strikes that are now coming
[00:13:28] probably every three or four days, indeed,
[00:13:31] we just saw on Tuesday night a particularly aggressive strike, 17 people
[00:13:35] killed by ballistic missiles, Russia of course says that
[00:13:37] it is targeting logistics facilities, just as Ukraine says it is hitting supply
[00:13:41] lines and storage facilities in Russia as well, but on both sides
[00:13:45] we are seeing larger and larger numbers of civilians paying the
[00:13:49] ultimate
[00:13:49] price.
[00:13:55] High up in the skies above Ukraine, with not a person in sight,
[00:13:59] there is a battle being waged. It is new stage of
[00:14:03] Kiev's conflict with Russia, one that is pushing the frontiers of
[00:14:06] technology and the economics of warfare. Yet the
[00:14:10] implications of this fight for air superiority are on the
[00:14:14] ground. Few weapons have
[00:14:18] played as bigger role in Russia's war on Ukraine as the Shahed.
[00:14:22] The long-range unmanned Kamakazi drone has been... scurge the
[00:14:26] skies for most the conflict, yet Ukraine believes
[00:14:29] 2026 is seeing a shift in that
[00:14:32] fight, не було
[00:14:36] дієвого,
[00:14:41] patriots are expensive, this is more affordable than missile
[00:14:44] systems, it was built and it works,
[00:14:48] this is the sting a UAV developed by Ukrainian defense firm
[00:14:52] Wild Hornets, the company says: sting has down
[00:14:56] thousands of Russian Shaheads since entering regular service last
[00:15:00] year. This isn't just about technology, it is about altering
[00:15:04] the economics of warfare. These things are smaller, they are
[00:15:07] cheaper, they are more scalable. They can't stop ballistic missiles, but
[00:15:11] Ukraine believes this is how it alters the balance of power
[00:15:15] against drones in its skies. But systems like these cannot stop the
[00:15:19] ballistic missiles that have killed dozens across Ukraine over the last
[00:15:23] week. President Vladimir. has said that without new interceptors,
[00:15:27] specifically US patriots, it is unable to stop
[00:15:30] them, yet in exclusive comments to TRT World, Ukrainian drone
[00:15:34] maker Firepoint claims it may have another.
[00:15:41] We need a starling connectivity over Russia,
[00:15:45] if we had this, we could destroy all the launchers for ballistic
[00:15:48] missiles. You are saying that if Elon Musk gave you permission to
[00:15:52] use Starlink over Russian territory that you could stop all
[00:15:56] ballistic missiles from coming in to Ukraine, yes we
[00:16:00] already have all the instruments for this. I think any way we need to
[00:16:03] also provide anti-ballistic capabilities, but talking
[00:16:07] about plug and play solution, yes, this is the most crucial change that
[00:16:11] could happen in the moment. If the claim is correct, it
[00:16:15] would shift the equation of Ukraine's ballistic defense from one of
[00:16:19] scarce interceptors towards one of offensive reach and
[00:16:23] political commission. Zelinski is currently in negotiations
[00:16:27] over patriot interceptors with the US and has also asked President
[00:16:30] Donald Trump about using Starling over Russian
[00:16:34] territory. The battle in Ukraine skies may be. determining
[00:16:38] the next stage in this war, yet it is discussions in the political
[00:16:41] halls of power that could yet decide its future. Joel
[00:16:45] Flin, TRT World, in Kieve. Spain has imposed
[00:16:49] border controls for all arrivals from Italy an escalating EU
[00:16:53] dispute over irregular migration. Italy imposed the same
[00:16:56] measures on Spanish arrivals after the mass influx of migrants into
[00:17:00] Spain's north African territory south that last week. That move was
[00:17:04] supported by Finland and Denmark. The Czech Republic was even
[00:17:33] his administration, it's been welcomed into the shield the americas
[00:17:36] a trump alliance of latin. american countries who have promised to fight
[00:17:39] narcotrafficking, one june's election by
[00:17:43] about 250,000
[00:17:45] votes,
[00:17:51] i am sending a firm message to the colombian people, the time has come
[00:17:55] to restore order, authority and
[00:17:58] freedom, well this approach towards ending
[00:18:01] narcotrafficking is radically different to that of his left-wing predecessor
[00:18:05] from the colombian capital, here's
[00:18:10] now what's been happening the past four years is that the colombian government has been
[00:18:14] attempting peace negotiations with the countries remain in
[00:18:17] rebel groups so what could happen now if these
[00:18:21] negotiations get all of sudden cancelled
[00:18:25] with some the groups that are that were still in talks with the
[00:18:28] government they might react by staging attacks so it is
[00:18:32] somewhat of a tense situation and certainly it's a
[00:18:35] 180 degree turn in the Colombia's
[00:18:39] Colombian government's security policy and its approach to the
[00:18:43] conflict that has been going on in Colombia for decades.
[00:18:47] now we have had this before 15, 20 years
[00:18:51] ago with a more hard line approach.
[00:18:54] what that did at that time some people say
[00:18:58] is force you the rebel group
[00:19:01] at that time the fart gorillas to sit down at
[00:19:05] negotiations, perhaps it play some pressure on them
[00:19:08] to finally sign a peace deal with the government in
[00:19:11] 2016, what analys here say however
[00:19:15] is that you need to have both things, you
[00:19:17] need to exert pressure on rebel groups, but you also need
[00:19:21] to have an avenue of negotiations, because we're talking
[00:19:24] about an estimated 20,00 people in Colombia right
[00:19:28] now that are involved in these rebel groups or in
[00:19:32] these criminal groups and somehow you need to find
[00:19:35] a pathway for. to join civilian
[00:19:39] life right, for them to retire from these groups and
[00:19:43] and join the rest of society, and it's quite
[00:19:47] difficult to
[00:19:48] see how you could only achieve that through military means or
[00:19:51] through imprisoning people, so the military approach by
[00:19:55] the lesveya might put some more pressure on these groups, but then when
[00:19:59] analis say is that you also need to offer like an
[00:20:03] exit route for them to demobilize.
[00:20:08] At least seven people have been killed in a mass shooting on the outskirts the Thai Capital,
[00:20:12] Bangkok. Police say teenage student shot as grandparents
[00:20:16] before going to school, killing five teachers and then turning the gun on
[00:20:19] himself. Yevgenia Mikaelidi
[00:20:21] reports. Students take
[00:20:25] cover at this school in Thailand's Nantaburi province as
[00:20:29] gunfire rings out. Police says a 14-year
[00:20:33] old fired thousands of rounds at teachers and students with.
[00:20:37] handgun taken from family member. He had also killed
[00:20:41] his grandparents at home earlier on Friday
[00:20:44] morning. I saw students who had been shot,
[00:20:48] some in the arm, some in the back. some in the chest, we rushed to get them to
[00:20:52] hospital. Thailand has one the highest rates of
[00:20:55] civilian gun ownership in southeast Asia. Several high
[00:20:59] profile shootings in recent years have prompted renewed
[00:21:03] debate over gun access and public
[00:21:06] safety. I have sent relevant
[00:21:09] officials to the area. This is horrible, it shouldn't have happened. This is
[00:21:13] the reason why the government does not permit the extension of firearms
[00:21:17] possession. This is exactly why. This says. shot
[00:21:20] himself
[00:21:21] suspect who during the incident has been identified as a student at the same
[00:21:25] school. we rushed up and found that the
[00:21:28] perpetrator had shot himself in the right side the head and
[00:21:32] collapsed. when we got up there we checked his pulse, he still had
[00:21:36] one, so we started CPR. as soon as we saw signs during
[00:21:39] CPR, we had the team bring a board up to carry him to the
[00:21:43] hospital. that rescue worker says his own
[00:21:46] daughter attends this school and he raised there after... Hearing
[00:21:50] reports of gunfire. For many families, hours of
[00:21:54] waiting ended with the worst possible news. It
[00:21:58] is the second shooting a time school this year. In
[00:22:01] February, teacher was killed and a student injured an attack
[00:22:05] in the south. As investigators search for motive,
[00:22:09] the attack is again raising questions over firearm
[00:22:12] access and whether more can be done to prevent young
[00:22:16] people from carrying out deadly violence.
[00:22:24] Israel's national security minister Itaver has renewed an order
[00:22:27] restricting family visits to palestinian prisoners in Israeli
[00:22:30] jails. the Palestinian prisoner society says the order could
[00:22:34] further isolate detainies and allow violations against prisoners
[00:22:38] to continue without external oversight. the group says the
[00:22:42] policy amounts to a systematic effort to cut prisoners off from their families and the
[00:22:46] outside world. it also alleges detainees face condition.
[00:22:50] including torture, starvation and other forms of mistreatment. In
[00:22:54] June, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled the continued denial of prison visits by the Red
[00:22:58] Cross is unlawful. Children across
[00:23:02] Lebanon have faced years of disrupted education because of Israeli
[00:23:05] attacks. UN numbers show more than 300 schools being destroyed or
[00:23:09] damaged during the most recent conflict. From Beirout, Priyanka Navani
[00:23:12] reports on those determined to make up for the lost
[00:23:15] learning.
[00:23:20] the world children are enjoying their last few weeks of summer vacation,
[00:23:24] dreading being back in the classroom come September, but not
[00:23:27] here, the kids at this school in Beirot were stoked to spend
[00:23:31] their summer right here. We are happy because
[00:23:35] we are playing, they're teaching us and I met new friends, I learned how
[00:23:39] to draw and my handwriting is improving. Amir and his
[00:23:43] classmates had their school year cut short last year when the Israel hasbula
[00:23:46] war broke out in March. Most schools turned to online. learning and
[00:23:50] hundreds of schools were transformed into displacement shelters,
[00:23:54] even now
[00:23:55] this summer school put on a bid to help children catch up on what they
[00:23:59] lost last year is shared with displaced families, but in
[00:24:02] September officials say clearer plan will be needed. They
[00:24:06] are working on finding other places for the displaced. Many
[00:24:10] displaced people have not been able to return to their homes and the
[00:24:14] villages because they've been destroyed or occupied, so
[00:24:18] definitely there's a solution. "there is no way schools can be for
[00:24:21] learning and the displacement center. It's a conundrum the
[00:24:25] ministry of education will have to solve quickly. Supporting
[00:24:29] education and displaced families has not always been easy for
[00:24:33] Lebanon, with schools, sometimes used for learning, sometimes
[00:24:37] used as shelters, and sometimes for both purposes, but
[00:24:41] they're also not mutually exclusive, with
[00:24:44] displaced students desperately in need of an education
[00:24:48] too. UNICEF. major partner to the ministry of
[00:24:51] education wants to ensure every child has access to
[00:24:55] learning. damaged and destroyed schools around
[00:24:58] 340 uh have
[00:25:01] massively impacted children's ability uh
[00:25:04] to learn. so
[00:25:06] there are a couple of immediate priorities: firstly to ensure uh that
[00:25:10] there is clear plan uh to rehabilitate and construct
[00:25:14] schools in particular identifying those that are more easily
[00:25:18] uh fixed uh so that the... ready for children, the start the new
[00:25:22] school year in September. The children here seem to know little the
[00:25:26] Herculean task ahead of Lebaneses officials and the complex military
[00:25:30] and political questions hovering over the country. All they know is
[00:25:34] that here, the future feels brighter. Priyanka Navani,
[00:25:37] TRT World, Baiduot. Almost
[00:25:41] five years ago, Bosnia Herzegovina has criminalized genocidal denial
[00:25:45] and the glorification of convicted war criminals. Groups representing the
[00:25:49] victim. the yukaslav wars the 1990s say thousands
[00:25:53] of complaints are still unresolved, but as sovic reports
[00:25:57] a new digital platform is hoping it can press the authorities to take
[00:26:00] action. public
[00:26:04] display celebrating convicted war criminals and social media
[00:26:07] posts denying this rebenitsa genocide will now be
[00:26:10] recorded by new initiative in Bosnia and
[00:26:14] Herzegovina. Such acts can constitute criminal offenses under the
[00:26:17] country's criminal code. A new platform, register
[00:26:21] 145A is documenting complaints and
[00:26:25] allowing citizens to submit evidence they believe violates the
[00:26:28] law.
[00:26:32] late is the inefficiency the prosecutors office. I believe that registered
[00:26:36] 145A is restoring hope among citizens even among
[00:26:40] those were once the most pessimistic, especially people who have
[00:26:43] personally experienced the inefficiency the courts. now we can see that people
[00:26:47] are responding. more than 50,000 complaints
[00:26:51] supported by evidence have already been filed with
[00:26:54] prosecutors. campaigners say the problem is no longer
[00:26:58] documenting alleged offenses, but the pace at which
[00:27:02] cases move through the judicial system, they argue
[00:27:05] lengthy delays, risk underminding confidence in the judicial
[00:27:09] system and discourage victims from reporting future
[00:27:13] cases. it is clear that the courts
[00:27:17] of Bosnia and Herzegovina still do not understand their role and
[00:27:20] responsibility when it comes to persecuting those committed war
[00:27:24] crimes as well as those who deny the genocide or glorify
[00:27:28] convicted war criminals. someone must be held accountable and the judiciary
[00:27:32] must be
[00:28:03] Victims groups say many complaints filed even before
[00:28:06] register 145 was launched have remained
[00:28:10] unresolved for years. They warned that continued delays, risks
[00:28:14] undermining public confidence in Bosnia and Herzegovina's
[00:28:17] justice system and weakening trust that the law will be
[00:28:21] enforced. Samir Sejfovic, TRT World,
[00:28:24] Bihaj Bosnia and Hercegovina. Uh, I'll
[00:28:28] soon you have your latest headlines on TRT World. Bye-bye.
[00:30:15] Hello, you're watching TRT World, I'm Atnan Naz with the main
[00:30:18] headlines. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan have signed the landmark
[00:30:22] defense pact in Mecca pledging that attack on one will be treated as an attack
[00:30:26] on all. Those president says the deal
[00:30:29] reaffirms the right to self-defense and is not aimed. any
[00:30:32] country, the agreement has come as tensions have grown since the end of
[00:30:36] February when the US and Israel launched their war on
[00:30:39] Iran. Iran says it's agreed to propose shipping
[00:30:43] the sato route for
[00:30:43] through moves with Oman, a possible step towards reopening the vital energy
[00:30:47] corridor. Sources in Washington are saying deal is expected
[00:30:50] soon. Iran's blockade the straight was the main reason for the recent
[00:30:54] resumption of tittat strikes with the US saying once the waterway is
[00:30:58] reopened, it will end the American blockade of Iran's
[00:31:00] ports. The UN Security Council has expressed concern
[00:31:04] over the ongoing escalation and
