00:00:24Headlines of
00:00:26the news: U.S. President reiterates that the war with Iran
00:00:30will soon end. Tehran says it has given its conditions for negotiations to
00:00:33intermediaries and is awaiting Trump's response.
00:00:36است.
00:00:39Missile and drone attacks on Riyadh and Yanbu confirmed by
00:00:42Yemen's Houthi rebels. They say Saudi Aramco
00:00:46was also among their targets.

00:00:50Trump's plan to establish a special artificial intelligence agency in the U.S.
00:00:54He says we support its development and will not hinder it.
00:00:58شد.
00:01:02And the Sheepdog Olympics in Scotland, with trainers from
00:01:0534 countries competing.
00:01:33Tehran has conveyed its conditions for negotiations to the U.S. through intermediaries
00:01:36and is now awaiting Donald Trump's response.
00:01:40In an interview with Al Jazeera, he said Iran's conditions include
00:01:44ending the war on all fronts, unblocking Iran's frozen assets,
00:01:47and ending the naval blockade. Mr. Rezaei also warned
00:01:51that if Iran is attacked, U.S. bases and Washington's interests in
00:01:55the region will be targeted with greater force.
00:01:59Previously, Donald Trump, the U.S. President, had again stressed
00:02:02that the war with Iran would soon end and gasoline prices would return
00:02:06to their previous levels or even lower.
00:02:17left until the midterm elections, which could remove both houses
00:02:20of the U.S. Congress from the control of the President's
00:02:24supporters and Republicans.
00:02:27Elections amidst rising costs.
00:03:06we had, which I am very proud of, is that Iran will never
00:03:09acquire nuclear weapons. Of course, for such an achievement,
00:03:13people have to pay something extra. I think if
00:03:16people had to choose between lower gasoline and
00:03:19diesel prices or the threat of a nuclear Iran,
00:03:23I bet the result would be a very high
00:03:26vote. People don't want Iran to acquire nuclear weapons.
00:03:32Direct war between the two sides has subsided for about 10 days,
00:03:36but there is no sign that it will end soon.
00:03:39The Iranian side is looking to inflict
00:03:43the biggest blow to the Republicans' electoral chances
00:03:46in the U.S. midterm
00:03:48elections.
00:03:52This is the U.S. Secretary of Defense and his complaint about the country's
00:03:56major media outlets, who, he says, only want to target the President.
00:04:03It's very sad that just as our fighters are achieving great successes
00:04:07in dangerous conditions, we have crazy media outlets whose hatred for
00:04:10the President is greater than their love for America. But we
00:04:14will complete our mission. Iran will never possess nuclear weapons.
00:04:18President Trump holds the winning cards.
00:04:21دست خودش
00:04:22داره
00:04:26But the war is escalating at the same time. This is
00:04:30at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh,
00:04:33the capital of Saudi Arabia. It is reported that two runways
00:04:36were targeted and flights were suspended.
00:04:40The attacks by the Houthis and Saudi forces
00:04:43against each other have intensified in recent days,
00:04:46and with that, the possibility of rising gasoline and
00:04:50diesel prices in the U.S.
00:05:00from Rome, Italy, is with us. Mr.
00:05:03Jaafari, Houthi attacks have not only
00:05:07continued against the Saudi-backed government,
00:05:10but have now taken on new dimensions in attacks
00:05:14on Saudi Arabia itself. Where do you think the situation is heading?
00:05:17Look, I think with the
00:05:21approaching U.S. midterm elections,
00:05:24one of the tools
00:05:27that the Islamic Republic has to influence this process
00:05:31is to push the U.S. towards
00:05:35acceding to Iran's demands and
00:05:38backing down from its own demands in order for both sides
00:05:41to reach an agreement. This is what they are using.
00:05:45However, at the same time, we must also consider that the Houthis
00:05:48also have their own specific internal agenda.
00:05:51They are not a group that takes direct orders
00:05:55from Tehran, although in many cases
00:05:58there can be shared interests between them. Given
00:06:02the situation they are currently in, they seem to be taking
00:06:06advantage of the opportunity to strike Saudi Arabia
00:06:08and advance their own internal goals.
00:06:12This is also simultaneously changing the conditions
00:06:16in the energy market in favor
00:06:19of the Islamic Republic more than before,
00:06:22because you see that currently, the control
00:06:26of two of the main and most strategic
00:06:29waterways through which oil and energy
00:06:33pass is in the hands of Iran and its allies,
00:06:37and naturally, this gives them more
00:06:40leverage and playing cards.
00:06:47insists on conditions that might be very difficult for Mr.
00:06:50Trump to meet. What do you think?
00:06:54Are these conditions set not to be met?
00:06:57Because there are also signs that some people in Iran say
00:07:01that perhaps the situation will continue as it is until Mr. Trump
00:07:05is in office. Look, what emerges from
00:07:08Mohsen Rezaei's statements is that it seems
00:07:12Iranian officials are demanding a return to the Islamabad agreement.
00:07:15That agreement, for multiple
00:07:19reasons, heavily favored
00:07:22Iran, and for this reason, it was also heavily criticized
00:07:25in the U.S., because it largely addressed
00:07:29Iran's demands and offered concessions
00:07:32that perhaps seemed unattainable before the war began.
00:07:36His new statements also show
00:07:40that Iran is still ready
00:07:44to return to that agreement, and given that the midterm elections
00:07:47in the U.S. are approaching, it is likely that their assessment
00:07:51and evaluation in Tehran is that, especially with
00:07:54the continued high energy prices (we are still seeing oil above $100),
00:07:58the U.S. side might be willing to return to that
00:08:01agreement. At the same time,
00:08:05the actions they are taking internally also show
00:08:08that while they are ready to return to that agreement,
00:08:11they are also ready for an escalation of tensions,
00:08:15and even the attacks that took place in recent
00:08:19weeks, some of the actions taken against U.S. naval
00:08:23vessels, were a kind of message to show that they are even
00:08:26ready to take more risky actions.
00:08:30My assessment is that their priority
00:08:34is to return to that agreement,
00:08:37but whether that will actually happen or not is a bigger
00:08:41question, but they are showing
00:08:56and if the Republicans lose the congressional elections,
00:08:59it might not be his personal
00:09:03concern.
00:09:05Yes, this is also an assessment because when you talk about Mr.
00:09:09Trump, you should analyze and evaluate him based on his
00:09:12specific characteristics. He is a person
00:09:16whose priorities are more focused on action,
00:09:20in fact, on the operative, not on the structure.
00:09:23As a result, some analyses are based on the premise that he would actually
00:09:27prefer to achieve a result that leaves a lasting legacy
00:09:31for himself, and this has a higher priority
00:09:34for him than the fate that awaits the Republican Party.
00:09:38However, another point that we must consider is that Mr. Trump
00:09:42will have to deal with this Congress for another two years,
00:09:45and if both houses are lost
00:09:48from Republican control, he will face a more difficult
00:09:52situation. It's not easy to say which outweighs the other,
00:10:05the Houthis in Yemen say they have targeted positions in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia,
00:10:09and the city of Yanbu on the Red Sea coast. This Iranian-backed
00:10:13group announced that in response to Saudi
00:10:17fighter jet attacks on its positions, it launched missiles and drones.
00:10:20They say the Saudi state oil company Aramco
00:10:24was also among the targets of these attacks. Meanwhile, Bloomberg News,
00:10:28citing informed sources, reported that
00:10:31Aramco has informed at least two of its European customers
00:10:35that they will not receive
00:10:45through the Strait of Hormuz is,
00:10:47due to Iran's control, at least
00:10:51partial control, facing challenges and problems.
00:10:55There was another route, a route that passed
00:10:59through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and also that
00:11:01pipeline. What situation have these events
00:11:05put Saudi Arabia in?
00:11:08Well, basically, there are two issues here. One is the Houthis,
00:11:12the other is Iran. In fact, although they are separate,
00:11:15they cooperate because they have a common goal
00:11:18regarding Saudi Arabia or Saudi oil.
00:11:22The Houthis are targeting Saudi Arabia because
00:11:25they are at war with each other, and basically, even though Iran
00:11:29supports them, even if Iran didn't support them,
00:11:32Saudi Arabia generally opposes them and tries to prevent
00:11:36them from gaining complete control of Yemen.
00:11:39Iran's issue is that, basically,
00:11:43because the oil that was leaving the Persian Gulf,
00:11:47about half of the oil that was actually leaving
00:11:50the Persian Gulf before this war, Americans are now saying that
00:11:54we are taking it out through the southern route
00:11:57every month. Because Iran wants to stop this,
00:11:59or because it couldn't completely stop it,
00:12:03instead, it attacked oil targets
00:12:07in Iraq through militias and
00:12:11the Saudi oil pipeline, which, instead,
00:12:14stopped the oil that was being exported from the other side
00:12:18of the Red Sea. Therefore, for Iran, regardless
00:12:21of what happens in Yemen, the goal was
00:12:25to reduce oil exports and, in fact, not lose
00:12:29the leverage it has over
00:12:32foreign countries, Europe, China, and so on.
00:12:36But for the Yemenis, even
00:12:39if we put aside cooperation with Iran, for the Houthis,
00:12:43they want to actually take complete control of the country,
00:12:46and Saudi Arabia is the main country
00:12:49that has stood in their way. In fact, without Saudi
00:12:53support, there is a high probability that the Yemeni
00:12:57government, which is supported by Saudi Arabia, would have fallen.
00:13:01Therefore, they also have a problem with Saudi Arabia,
00:13:04and they are coming to the conclusion that no one can defeat
00:13:08the other. That is, the Houthis and the Yemeni government, supported by
00:13:12Saudi Arabia, have not been able
00:13:15to be the complete winners of this war. For a while,
00:13:18they had a state of neither peace nor war. Now, with the increased
00:13:22tensions, it seems that an opportunity has arisen for both sides
00:13:26to test the war again. I think
00:13:29it is highly probable that this time too, neither of them
00:13:32will achieve what they want. That is, neither the Houthis
00:13:35will be able to take complete control of Yemen,
00:13:39nor will Saudi Arabia be able to stop them. In the meantime,
00:13:42Iran, whose goal is to prevent oil exports from the region,
00:13:52how did the Houthis, given that they were under siege and their main
00:13:56supporter in the region, Iran, was under severe pressure,
00:14:00suddenly gain so much power? Yes,
00:14:03you see, the Yemeni government forces that collapsed,
00:14:07some of their areas, important areas like Bab al-Mandab,
00:14:10were similar to what happened to Bashar al-Assad two years
00:14:14ago. Even though he had a stronger army than his opponents,
00:14:17they all decided to flee. Or before that,
00:14:21in Afghanistan, when the Americans withdrew, the Afghan
00:14:24army was stronger in terms of weapons,
00:14:28personnel, and training than the Taliban.
00:14:32Despite all this, they all fled. In Iraq in 2014,
00:14:3530,000 soldiers and officers were present in Mosul.
00:14:39500 ISIS forces came and took the city from them.
00:14:43This is what seems to have happened at least to some extent
00:14:47in Bab al-Mandab, meaning the Yemeni government
00:14:50forces were not weaker than the Houthi forces.
00:14:53The Houthis don't have planes, while the Yemeni government
00:14:57is supported by Saudi Arabia in terms of airpower.
00:15:00Despite this, it seems that morally, they were not willing
00:15:04to resist here, and that's
00:15:19Donald Trump, the U.S. President, signed the law imposing extensive
00:15:23sanctions against Russia.
00:15:25The U.S. House of Representatives had approved the draft of these sanctions.
00:15:29This law includes sanctions against Russian officials, financial institutions,
00:15:33and other entities, and allows the U.S. President to impose
00:15:37tariffs up to 100%.
00:15:50Iran announced the execution of an individual named Hossein Padran
00:15:54on charges of espionage and intelligence cooperation with Mossad.
00:15:57The Mizan news agency, affiliated with the judiciary,
00:16:00stated that he had provided Mossad with information about sensitive
00:16:04military sites in Isfahan province. The agency did not release
00:16:10details about the time or location of the execution, but said the death sentence had been upheld by the Supreme Court. Human rights organizations have warned about the increase in executions in
00:16:14Iran in recent months.
00:16:17اند.
00:16:21Donald Trump, the U.S. President, announced the formation of a special
00:16:24artificial intelligence task force. According to Mr. Trump,
00:16:28the aim of this action is not to restrict artificial intelligence technology,
00:16:31but to support its growth alongside government oversight.
00:16:34This decision is announced as industry leaders
00:16:38recently warned about the speed of AI development and its dangers.
00:16:42Simultaneously, and on the eve of the midterm elections
00:16:45for the House of Representatives, public concern about
00:16:48the increasing number of data centers, their energy consumption,
00:16:52and the environmental
00:17:32very close, intellectually speaking, to commercial enterprises.
00:17:36But he is a statesman who, on one hand,
00:17:39wants to increase government oversight,
00:17:43and on the other hand,
00:17:45highlights political rivalries in his notes.
00:17:49He says that the U.S.
00:17:53is ahead of every other country, including China, in the field of artificial intelligence,
00:17:56and he wants to maintain this situation
00:18:00and even asks his
00:18:03followers, those who follow him on
00:18:06social media, to suggest other names
00:18:10instead of "artificial intelligence." It's not clear
00:18:14exactly what this artificial intelligence task force wants
00:18:17to do, but as you said, it is gaining
00:18:21political importance. This
00:18:24decision made by Mr. Trump,
00:18:27especially since these data centers are mushrooming
00:18:31everywhere, their number has grown
00:18:34so much.
00:18:37This has created many concerns at the local level
00:18:40and in various cities and states.
00:18:44Many lawsuits have been filed regarding
00:18:47it, which can affect Mr. Trump's popularity.
00:18:51A Gallup poll
00:18:55had shown that 70% of Americans are dissatisfied
00:18:59with the establishment of a data center
00:19:02in their area.
00:19:05ناراضی هستند.
00:19:12A large number of them, almost all of them, refer to environmental issues,
00:19:15the pressure on the land and water,
00:19:19various pollutions, including noise pollution, which is rarely
00:19:23discussed in the media. In
00:19:26general, it can
00:19:30have opponents and supporters on both
00:19:33sides, for or against
00:19:36artificial intelligence. There is almost a consensus
00:19:40in both parties that these data
00:19:44centers have created a problem, and
00:19:47even the pressure
00:19:49on economic pressure on
00:19:53people to pay their electricity
00:19:56bills. And all these issues can create a high risk
00:20:08Donald Trump, the U.S. President, has announced that the United States, Denmark,
00:20:11and Greenland have reached an agreement according to which
00:20:14the U.S. will assume permanent control of Greenland's security
00:20:18affairs. Mr. Trump had previously threatened to annex Greenland
00:20:22to the U.S. territory. The Prime Ministers of Greenland and Denmark
00:20:26welcomed this action and said that this agreement strengthens
00:20:29the security of their countries in the Arctic and North Atlantic
00:20:32Ocean. This agreement needs to be approved by the Danish
00:20:36Parliament to become effective.
00:20:59faced opposition from Danish officials and a large part of the public
00:21:03in Greenland. The U.S. President's verbal
00:21:06threats also led nowhere until he suddenly announced
00:21:10last night that a new agreement had transferred permanent
00:21:13control of Greenland's security affairs to the U.S.
00:21:17Full details of the agreement have not yet been released,
00:21:20and its formal signing, according to the former Danish Defense
00:21:24Minister, who was one of the main negotiators, is scheduled for next week.
00:21:28بگیرد.
00:21:33I am very happy and optimistic that next week we will be able to sign an agreement with the Americans.
00:21:37Negotiations started in January. It's still
00:21:41too early to open it. This agreement is good
00:21:44for Denmark, Greenland, and everyone, but we'll see what happens in the future.
00:21:48میفته؟
00:21:50The Danish Foreign Minister wrote on social media that the agreement
00:21:53is scheduled to be signed next week on the sidelines
00:21:57of the UN General Assembly in New York. The U.S. President
00:22:01announced that none of America's rivals will
00:22:04have the right to establish a base or military presence in Greenland
00:22:08or invest in its sensitive sectors without Washington's
00:22:11approval. Estimates
00:22:15show that Greenland sits on significant
00:22:19reserves of oil and natural gas. It is also said
00:22:22that this island contains a large portion of raw materials
00:22:26that are vital for the electronics industry, clean energy,
00:22:29and strategic military technologies.
00:22:33These are materials that Mr. Trump has tried in recent years
00:22:37to ensure U.S. access to. Ted Cruz,
00:22:40a Republican senator from Texas, last year in a Senate
00:22:44hearing in the U.S. referred to Greenland's
00:22:47vast reserves of rare earth elements and said
00:22:51about the possibility of its acquisition by the U.S. that Greenland's
00:22:54strategic importance is not limited solely to defense
00:22:58issues. Now, all eyes are on next week and
00:23:02the moment of the formal signing of the agreement, where
00:23:05its details and the extent
00:23:18who yesterday were
00:23:22denied entry to the White House grounds. Mr. Trump
00:23:25accused CNN, Now, and Politico
00:23:29of publishing what he called "fake news." These media outlets
00:23:33say their reporters' entry cards were confiscated
00:23:36at one of the White House's security entrances. All three
00:23:40media outlets announced they would defend their rights
00:23:44under the U.S. Constitution.
00:23:46The European Union expressed regret over the U.S. decision
00:23:50to refuse visas for Palestinian officials to attend the UN General
00:23:54Assembly. This is the second consecutive year that the U.S.
00:23:58has denied visas to the Palestinian delegation. A spokesperson for the European
00:24:01Union, citing Washington's obligations as the host country
00:24:05and the UN Headquarters Agreement, called on the U.S.
00:24:08government to reconsider its decision. Most UN members
00:24:11recognize the State of Palestine. The U.S. is
00:24:15the only permanent member of the Security Council that has not
00:24:18taken such action.
00:24:21The new academic year in Gaza has begun, and more
00:24:24than half a million children
00:24:27have returned to schools for the first time in nearly three years.
00:24:31Virtual education has also been made available for Palestinian refugees
00:24:35living in other countries. According to the United Nations, since
00:24:38the start of the Israel-Hamas war, 97 schools
00:24:42in Gaza have been damaged or completely destroyed.
00:24:45The Gaza Ministry of Education, in cooperation with the United Nations
00:24:49agency, has established approximately 700 educational centers,
00:24:52some of which are just simple tents.

00:24:57Hundreds of dog trainers from 34 different countries participated in competitions
00:25:01referred to as the Sheepdog Olympics. The 2026
00:25:05World Sheepdog Trials began on Wednesday
00:25:08at Haddington Farm in the Scottish Borders region
00:25:11of Scotland and continues until Sunday.
00:25:14These competitions emphasize coordination between human
00:25:18and dog, precision in...
00:25:50from 34 countries are competing. How is Max's
00:25:53temperament? Very calm and composed, he doesn't get flustered
00:25:57easily. Always reliable and stable, and he
00:26:00can work with almost any type of sheep. Probably the best dog
00:26:04I've ever had.
00:26:07For someone unfamiliar with these competitions, the task seems complex.
00:26:10Michael Max, in addition to herding the flock, must
00:26:13separate the sheep one by one. First, you separate two sheep
00:26:17without collars. Then you gather them all back together and take them to the pen.
00:26:21Then you return to the competition
00:26:24area. This time, you have to separate a collared sheep and keep
00:26:28it separate from the rest until the judges approve.
00:26:33The command for left is "come," and the command for right
00:26:36is "go." Each has its own special whistle.
00:26:40The tone and intensity of the whistle can greatly change the dog's behavior.
00:26:44If you deliver the command in a drawn-out way,
00:26:47the dog usually circles
00:26:49the flock from a greater distance.
00:26:52If these scenes remind you of the TV show "A Man and
00:26:55His Dog," it's worth noting that the first episode of it was filmed
00:26:59right here on this farm. This is the fourth
00:27:02generation of the Longton family to compete in this field.
00:27:06I was 10 or 11 years old when I got my first dog.
00:27:10I've been competing since I was 12. In fact, I've grown up with this
00:27:14since I was born. But for now, all his attention is on the big
00:27:17competition this weekend. In previous rounds, we had participants
00:27:21from Japan, New Zealand, Australia, the U.S., and Canada.
00:27:25Many countries from South America also send representatives. So, they truly
00:27:29come from all over the world.
00:27:32It's great to compare yourself with the best in this field to see how good you
00:27:36really are, and how well your dog
00:27:38works.
00:28:02Can Iranians abroad be the voice of the people inside
00:28:06Iran? Some people say this, some people in Iran say this,
00:28:10but I won't give my own opinion because I don't think
00:28:13I have the right or permission to say now that Iran should
00:28:17be this or that should happen. I try to keep my opinion
00:28:21to myself, and when I inform,
00:28:24it was just informing. Life in the diaspora
