00:00:40Hello and welcome to this short news segment from
00:00:43BBC Persian Television. Reuters has reported that the proposed
00:00:46agreement between Iran and Oman to end
00:00:50military tension in the Strait of Hormuz will allow Tehran
00:00:53to control the entry of ships into the Persian Gulf.
00:00:56The United States has not yet commented on this.
00:01:00Iran and Oman have held bilateral talks
00:01:03regarding the Strait of Hormuz as part of regional diplomatic
00:01:06efforts. Iran has reported significant progress in these
00:01:10discussions and says that the route for ships to and from
00:01:14Iran's waters will pass through them. Previously, US officials had repeatedly
00:01:17emphasized that they would not agree to Iran controlling
00:01:21access to this important energy route.
00:01:24The US President has denied reports
00:01:28of a decrease in US arms stockpiles
00:01:32and said that those who published this information will
00:01:35face severe penalties. Earlier, the Washington
00:01:39Post reported that Mr. Trump on Friday, at a meeting in Camp
00:01:43David, asked Defense Secretary Mattis for an explanation
00:01:46about the ammunition shortage. The Washington Post wrote that these
00:01:50shortages caused Mr. Trump to cancel the attack despite
00:01:54threatening a widespread attack on Iran. CNN also reported
00:01:57that the shortage of guided long-range
00:02:00missiles and air defense interceptors affected
00:02:04Mr. Trump's decision regarding engagement with Iran, and that the US
00:02:08military has used nearly 80% of its THAAD
00:02:12missile stockpiles.
00:02:15The Iran Human Rights Organization reported the execution of at least
00:02:1971 people last month in
00:02:22Iran. The report states that 36 people
00:02:25were executed on charges of murder, 26 people on charges
00:02:29related to drug offenses, 8 people on security
00:02:33charges, and one person on rape charges.
00:02:36Six of those executed this month were protesters
00:02:39against the government. This organization recorded the execution
00:02:43of at least 44 people in the first seven
00:02:47months of this year. Simultaneously, UN experts today
00:02:50called on officials of the Islamic Republic to end the increasing
00:02:53arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, torture,
00:02:57and other forms of ill-treatment, as well as arbitrary executions
00:03:00against ethnic minorities, especially Kurdish and Baluch
00:03:04minorities. Currently, hundreds of people arrested in the January
00:03:08protests are at risk of being
00:03:12executed.
