00:01:23Welcome to this news section from BBC Persian television. I am Baran
00:01:27Abbasi. Pakistan says it hopes that an agreement
00:01:30between Iran and Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz
00:01:33will soon lead to the resumption of negotiations
00:01:37between Washington and Tehran. Reuters news agency reported
00:01:40that the proposed agreement between Iran and Oman will allow Tehran
00:01:44to control the entry of ships into the Persian Gulf.
00:01:47Iran has reported significant progress in these talks
00:01:50and says the route for ships to travel
00:01:54will pass through Iranian waters. Previously, American officials
00:01:57had repeatedly emphasized that with.
00:02:09The wait for the final outcome of the negotiations between Iran and Oman
00:02:13on how vessels will pass through the Strait of Hormuz
00:02:17continues. Tehran has described these negotiations as positive and forward-looking.
00:02:21Some reports indicate that an agreement is close.
00:02:24Reuters, quoting sources in Iran and the region, said
00:02:28that if this agreement is finalized, Iran will maintain a kind of control over the entry of ships
00:02:32into the Persian Gulf, which is considered an important concession.
00:02:35American officials have not yet reacted to these reports.
00:02:39Donald Trump said that an agreement to reopen
00:02:43the Strait of Hormuz is close, but American officials
00:02:46had previously repeatedly emphasized that they would not agree
00:02:50to Iran's control over this important energy transit route.
00:02:53For now, the firings have decreased. Even by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, who,
00:02:57with their entry into the scene in the Strait of Bab al-Mandab,
00:03:00had increased pressure on the energy market
00:03:03by announcing a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia.
00:03:07Diplomatic moves have also intensified. The Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief
00:03:10of the Pakistani Army are now in Saudi Arabia for a two-day visit.

00:03:18In Jordan, the foreign ministers of Arab countries gathered yesterday.
00:03:21The Egyptian Foreign Minister said at this meeting that discussions are underway
00:03:25to shape the future order of the region,
00:03:28and that the war with Iran has imposed many damages
00:03:32on the region. He said that the countries of the region do not want
00:03:36to be excluded from the negotiation process and the final agreement,
00:03:40like in the JCPOA negotiations in 2015.
00:03:43شوند.
00:03:46For now, however, the negotiations between Iran and the United States
00:03:49in the Strait of Hormuz are stalled. JD Vance, Donald Trump's deputy,
00:03:53in an interview with Fox News, criticized and highlighted the difficulties
00:03:57of the path.
00:04:00The Iranians are extremely difficult people to negotiate with.
00:04:03Their government structure is also divided. Some
00:04:07want an end to the war, and others insist on continuing it.
00:04:10Our duty is to navigate these circumstances
00:04:14and achieve the best outcome for the American people
00:04:18and the President of the United States. I believe we will eventually
00:04:21reach such a point, but the path to get there will be complex
00:04:25and will take
00:04:26time.
00:04:30For now, part of the media's focus has shifted towards the United States itself,
00:04:34where there is a dispute over the impact of reports
00:04:37about a shortage of ammunition and long-range missiles
00:04:40for confronting Iran. US President Donald Trump
00:04:44said on Thursday that the country has vast reserves of ammunition
00:04:48and threatened that those who publish information to the contrary
00:04:51will face severe penalties.
00:04:55The Washington Post reported that Mr. Trump last Friday,
00:04:58during a cabinet meeting at the presidential retreat
00:05:02in Camp David, had asked Defense Secretary Pit Hexset
00:05:05for explanations regarding the ammunition shortage.
00:05:09Mohammad Amini of BBC.
00:05:14Mojtaba Najafi, an Iranian political analyst from Paris, is with us. Mr. Najafi,
00:05:18if this information coming from the Iranians
00:05:22that a contract with Oman would mean that Iran
00:05:25will have control over the entry and even exit of ships from the Strait of Hormuz,
00:05:29in that case, can this be described as a strategic victory
00:05:32for Iran? If this
00:05:36information is correct, in my opinion, yes, it will be a strategic victory
00:05:39for Iran, especially since the Strait of Hormuz,
00:05:43before the war, was not considered a trump card.
00:05:46This war caused Iran to have this trump card
00:05:49in its negotiations with the US.
00:05:53And we are now in a pre-nuclear negotiation
00:05:56phase, and certainly, the Strait of Hormuz
00:06:00can be used as a trump card in nuclear negotiations
00:06:03by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
00:06:07And if this report proves to be correct,
00:06:10and the United States.
00:06:22In my opinion, the Strait of Hormuz in this
00:06:24war will be registered as an important vocabulary,
00:06:28an important trump card, an important tool for victory
00:06:31for the Islamic Republic of Iran. America had emphasized
00:06:34that it would by no means allow Iran to have control over the Strait of Hormuz.
00:06:38Even now, it says that the Strait of Hormuz is open
00:06:41and under the control of American forces.
00:06:44How has Iran been able to reach this agreement
00:06:48with Oman, and how can Oman
00:06:51actually obtain America's approval? First, let me say that
00:06:55we still do not have official statements
00:06:58from the United States of America regarding the report
00:07:01that Reuters has published. We must
00:07:05wait to see if American officials actually confirm this report.
00:07:08However, in the event of their confirmation by.
00:07:24They didn't have much control over Iran, and they hadn't really considered Iran's geographical position
00:07:27as a trump card. We didn't see a very cohesive
00:07:30plan from the Trump administration
00:07:34for attacking Iran, and this stems
00:07:38from a lack of
00:07:41understanding of the geopolitical
00:07:45characteristics of the battlefield. We saw these mistakes by the US
00:07:48regarding Iraq, especially regarding the political structure
00:07:52of the Iraqi government at the time of the invasion during Bush's presidency and the cultural issues
00:07:55in those countries. In my opinion, in the case of
00:07:59the Hormuz war, this point
00:08:03has emerged that US officials
00:08:06did not have a complete understanding
00:08:09of the geopolitical situation of the battlefield.
00:08:12What do you think the Arab countries of the region
00:08:16will think if such an agreement is reached? Will their concerns decrease
00:08:20or not? Will this worsen their concerns about
00:08:23Iran's increasing influence? In my opinion, Arab countries in general
00:08:27do not welcome tension and
00:08:31escalation of tension in the region. After all,
00:08:34Iran is their neighbor, a large country
00:08:37of 90 million people, and has a special geopolitical
00:08:41position. And on the other hand, Arab countries also need
00:08:45a kind of stability for investment,
00:08:48and in the recent war, it showed that America was not able
00:08:52to protect their bases well,
00:08:55and some attacks by Iran have been quite effective.
00:08:59From this perspective, I don't think Arab countries are looking
00:09:03for renewed tension, and as we have seen
00:09:06at various junctures, as allies of the United States,
00:09:10they have put pressure on Washington
00:09:13to reach some kind of agreement with Iran.
00:09:16The point is that currently, we
00:09:20are in a situation where they are faced with options
00:09:23that I think their control over the Strait of Hormuz
00:09:26is a bad option compared to a worse option
00:09:29that could lead to a regional war
00:09:33and jeopardize their economic and political stability.
00:09:37Thank you, Mojtaba Najafi, political analyst on Iranian affairs from Paris.
00:09:40تحلیلگر مسائل سیاسی ایران از پاریس.
00:10:12And my guess is that the reason they keep saying
00:10:16an agreement is very close is that the Omanis need
00:10:20time to check their position with the Americans
00:10:22and try to get them on board. Therefore,
00:10:27it is clear that Iran
00:10:29is indirectly negotiating about the Strait of Hormuz.
00:10:33My guess is that a return to
00:10:36the understanding process will definitely be part
00:10:40of this agreement, which means the lifting
00:10:43of the US naval blockade against Iran.
00:10:47But the point is that there are two points here. One is outside Iran, and that is the issue
00:10:51of Bab al-Mandab, which I think Iran wants to.
00:10:55God save us from the issue of the Strait of Hormuz, so that pressure on
00:10:58the energy market is maintained, and probably
00:11:02the next line that Iranian officials will talk about will be
00:11:06the dispute between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia should go and solve its problems
00:11:10with the Houthis, for example. And
00:11:12the second point is within Iran. Within Iran, divisions have intensified
00:11:16after the funeral of Mr. Khamenei, especially
00:11:19after Mr. Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader,
00:11:22issued a message in which he spoke of avenging his father.
00:11:26Following that message, in which he said that he was not fundamentally
00:11:30in favor of this agreement and the process of understanding,
00:11:33and these are excuses for those who are against negotiations
00:11:37and against an agreement, and they are very
00:11:40vocal now. A number of parliament members
00:11:44are among them, in addition to some figures who may not hold
00:11:47high government positions, but they have a very loud voice.
00:11:51And this
00:11:54is the situation we are in now, for example, someone
00:11:58at the level of a president or a speaker of parliament
00:12:01is forced to respond to someone like Mr. Kharrazi,
00:12:04who doesn't have a clear position in the government, but has made very harsh
00:12:07and very controversial statements. This shows
00:12:10that the internal cohesion within the government
00:12:14for making major concessions is not yet established,
00:12:17especially with the absence of Mr. Khamenei.
00:12:21Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader. Last night, Mr. Pezeshkian, in a part of
00:12:25his speech that was broadcast last night, said that access to Mr. Khamenei
00:12:29is not easy, and
00:12:33therefore, the ability to convince
00:12:36different parts of the government,
00:12:39the political power
00:12:41to suppress or sideline
00:12:45or push back hardliners, especially considering
00:12:49that their voices are very loud in the streets among ordinary
00:12:52government supporters, does not seem to have been achieved yet.
00:12:55Mr. Araghchi gave an interview some time ago,
00:12:59and it was recently published, two or three weeks ago.
00:13:02In it, he said that we have not reached the conclusion
00:13:06on the nuclear issue that an agreement with the US is very difficult. They want things from us
00:13:10that we cannot give them, especially after the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei,
00:13:13it has become very difficult. Therefore,
00:13:16we decided to make this agreement a two-stage negotiation.
00:13:20One stage will be this memorandum of understanding, which is about
00:13:23lifting the naval blockade and some
00:13:26sanctions in exchange for opening the Strait of Hormuz.
00:13:30Let's make an agreement for now to get by,
00:13:32and then we'll see if the conditions for the nuclear issue
00:13:36change later. Therefore,
00:13:40the major decisions that the Iranian government must eventually make
00:13:43one day require a cohesion that still does not seem
00:13:47to exist among government officials in Iran. Thank you very much
00:13:50for your explanations. My colleague Omid Parsanejad is here
00:13:52with us. The US President
00:13:56has denied the report about a reduction in US arms stockpiles
00:14:00and said that those who publish such information
00:14:03will face severe penalties. Previously, the Washington Post and
00:14:07CNN had reported that shortages had caused Mr.
00:14:11Trump to cancel the attack despite threatening a widespread attack
00:14:14on Iran. Our reporter Bahman Kolbasi
00:14:18from New York is with us. Bahman, what did Mr. Trump say
00:14:21about this? The Washington Post newspaper published a report.
00:14:25It says that on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting
00:14:28held at the presidential retreat in Camp David
00:14:32last Friday, Mr. Trump was very angry
00:14:35with his defense minister. He called him
00:14:38and said that he had told him that this issue of ammunition shortage,
00:14:42whether it be long-range missiles
00:14:44or defense systems, had been resolved
00:14:48or would be resolved, but it had not been resolved.
00:14:50And Mr. Hexset, the defense minister, Mr.
00:14:54Trump, also said that the fault
00:14:57for this incident lies with his deputy, and that he
00:15:01did not specifically provide a correct report.
00:15:05And as a result, he
00:15:08tried to shift the blame to someone else. This naturally
00:15:11had a widespread impact, considering that, as
00:15:15mentioned in the introduction, other American news channels
00:15:18have been reporting repeatedly for several weeks
00:15:21about the shortage of ammunition and the reduction of US stockpiles
00:15:25for defense systems and long-range missiles
00:15:29with precision. US defense and army officials
00:15:33themselves have, at least in one case,
00:15:37the commander of US forces in Europe, written a letter
00:15:40to defense officials warning about these shortages.
00:15:44For this reason, it has now become a significant and challenging
00:15:48reality
00:15:50for the White House, not only because the media is reporting
00:15:53it, but also because US army officials
00:15:57and the president himself
00:15:59want to know why the defense minister, as
00:16:03reported by the Washington Post, said it was resolved,
00:16:06while it was not. This strong reaction from Mr.
00:16:10Trump could indicate that the issue of missile stockpiles
00:16:13has truly become a political issue for his administration.
00:16:17Well, it is certainly considered one of the factors
00:16:20of deterrence and the decision not
00:16:23to attack again, and this itself is a kind of
00:16:27weakness that the Trump administration is not at all interested
00:16:30in portraying. For this reason, he is attacking those
00:16:34who are leaking this news. The White House
00:16:38is using its usual method,
00:16:42even for things that are clearly true, they say it's a lie, it's not true, they deny it.
00:16:45Here too, they used that language, saying none of these events happened,
00:16:49and that no such conversation took place between the president
00:16:52and the minister. But when very credible American newspapers
00:16:56report based on reliable sources,
00:16:59it certainly complicates the situation for the White House.
00:17:03It shows that both the issue exists and that they are trying to hide
00:17:07their dissatisfaction. How much can this indicate internal disagreements
00:17:11within Mr. Trump's cabinet? It indicates
00:17:14that dissatisfaction with the way the war is being conducted is not limited to public opinion,
00:17:18and especially within the US military,
00:17:22many, especially those who are leaking this news,
00:17:25are trying to show this dissatisfaction.
00:17:28As a result, even if there is no
00:17:31disagreement at the level of ministers and the President,
00:17:35at least within the Department of Defense, within the US
00:17:38military, there are those who are very concerned about
00:17:42the continuation of this war and its consequences,
00:17:46and for this reason, they are giving information to the media. Thank you. Our reporter Bahman Kalbasi from
00:17:50New York. Short news.

00:18:37for a deadly car attack in Munich. The court identified
00:18:41the defendant as Farhad Noon, an Afghan
00:18:44citizen. Last year, he drove his car into
00:18:48a labor union rally, an attack that killed a woman
00:18:52and her two-year-old child and injured dozens.
00:18:54Prosecutors say the motive for the attack was

00:19:17said that Kyiv targeted the refineries of Yaroslavl
00:19:21and Bashkortostan with the aim of reducing
00:19:24Russia's oil revenues. According to him,
00:19:28these revenues are spent on financing the war against Ukraine.

00:20:17In recent months, after the ceasefire agreement
00:20:20last October, global attention has been diverted from Gaza.
00:20:23The US President announced last week
00:20:27an agreement between the peace delegation and Hamas
00:20:30on disarming the group, but the Israeli army says
00:20:34it continues to target Hamas members, and civilians are also killed
00:20:38in these operations. This is while before the war, Gaza was becoming
00:20:42a technology hub. Now, as
00:20:46Julian reports, thousands of young people with their laptops
00:20:49are connecting to the outside world to earn income
00:20:52for their families.

00:20:57In the ruins of Gaza, Palestinian technology experts have found
00:21:00ways to earn much-needed income while also
00:21:04taking a few hours away from the harsh reality of their lives.

00:21:18My job. Everything is gone. I lost my home.
00:21:22I lost my job. Now I have to start
00:21:26a new career path from scratch. During two
00:21:29years of full-scale war, the people of Gaza faced many problems
00:21:33in accessing water and food. Many still live
00:21:37in tents in refugee camps. However, thousands
00:21:40of people are trying to connect with the world through
00:21:44the digital economy. Generators and solar
00:21:48panels provide electricity and internet
00:21:51for shared workspaces.
00:21:52کنند.
00:21:56From here in southern Israel, you can clearly see the Gaza Strip. Given the extensive
00:22:00destruction, it may be hard to believe that Gaza still
00:22:04remains a kind of advanced technology hub.
00:22:06مونده.
00:22:09Before the recent war, Gaza was under Hamas control
00:22:12and blockaded by Israel and Egypt. For this reason,
00:22:16remote work and contract-free activities were among the few ways.
00:22:22of earning a living in this area. Now, aid workers
00:22:25are trying to revive this industry. We refer to it as a kind of
00:22:28digital lifeline. In a situation where about
00:22:3280% of Gaza's residents have no income,
00:22:35helping people get back to work is truly essential.
00:22:39Wala Fuleidis is currently speaking with a trainer

00:23:12There are still many challenges. From damaged
00:23:16laptops to banking restrictions and bombings that continue
00:23:20almost every day.
00:23:23This explosion occurred near one of the shared workspaces.
00:23:26The ceasefire agreement has weakened, and Israel says
00:23:29it continues to target Hamas positions. Serious reconstruction
00:23:33in Gaza remains halted under these circumstances.
00:23:37However, the efforts of technology experts in the region
00:23:40paint a picture of a brighter
00:23:42future.
00:23:47Members of the Afghanistan women's national football team, who had been banned
00:23:50from this sport, left their country and dispersed across
00:23:54the world. They have reunited once again
00:23:58and are on the verge of returning to official competitions.
00:24:01Changes in FIFA regulations have created new hope
00:24:05for these players to once again compete internationally.
00:24:08Mahjouba Norouzi, a BBC reporter, reports.
00:24:11In Jano Beshant

00:24:18The song
00:24:28has brought them from all over the world to Auckland, New Zealand, to play
00:24:31two friendly matches against the Cook Islands team.
00:24:35After years away from international fields,
00:24:39this is the first time that the Afghanistan women's football team
00:24:43in exile is returning to the field
00:24:45with changes in FIFA rules. We want
00:24:49Afghanistan to be free and Afghan girls and women
00:24:53to be free. To choose who they want to be
00:24:57and how they want to live. We want to prove
00:25:00that we are still here. We are still fighting for the rights that have been taken from us.
00:25:04Five years ago, the lives of these players
00:25:08changed overnight. With the return
00:25:11of the Taliban government to power, women were banned from sports.
00:25:15The Afghanistan women's football team was forced to leave
00:25:18the country. They could represent Afghanistan
00:25:21and each went to a different corner
00:25:25of the world. Throughout high school, I was bullied and harassed.
00:25:29But football gave me the confidence to be myself
00:25:33and to speak my mind loud and clear. Now they have
00:25:36reunited to rebuild the team that they thought
00:25:40was lost forever.
00:25:43I wanted to use this opportunity to be the voice of Afghan girls.
00:25:47Girls who have been deprived of education for five
00:25:50years. This rose book, which symbolizes women
00:25:54and the date August 15th, the day Afghanistan fell.
00:25:57Everyone was chosen for this.
00:26:01Afghanistan.
00:26:03For these players, football is not just a sport,
00:26:07but an opportunity to be the voice of women and girls
00:26:11who still live in Afghanistan
00:26:14under the rule of the Taliban.
00:26:17These matches are only the beginning. The goal is to rebuild
00:26:20the Afghanistan women's football team in exile.
00:26:23A team that hopes to compete for a spot
00:26:27in the 2028 Olympic Games
00:26:31someday.
00:27:00To play again under the name of Afghanistan was a victory in itself.
00:27:03Perhaps this time the result of the match and their profit
00:27:07was not important. But the dream they have fought for years
00:27:11to keep alive still remains.
00:27:15That one day they will once again represent Afghanistan
00:27:18in the Olympic Games. We don't know when we will see each other
00:27:22again. But having such a second family
00:27:25always feels wonderful. Mahjouba
