00:00:41Controversy over the simultaneous holding of the women's marathon and the
00:00:44Jan Fada government ceremony in Tehran. The judiciary announced charges
00:00:47against the organizers of the race for the participants' lack of hijab.
00:00:51We ask a journalist in Paris whether the government's
00:00:54sensitivity about the simultaneous holding of this marathon
00:00:58is due to the call of its
00:01:01supporters. We also ask a sociologist whether the government
00:01:05can stop society's movement towards more social
00:01:09freedoms. Also in tonight's
00:01:11program.
00:01:13The halt of activity on Saudi Arabia's East-West oil pipelines became
00:01:17clear to the West. Aramco will stop delivering oil to some
00:01:21European customers in October. In an interview
00:01:25with an energy market analyst, we ask how much of Saudi Arabia's
00:01:28oil production has stopped and.
00:01:40Tehran is ready
00:01:42for a decisive war. Reactions to the government's
00:01:46green light for the return of opponents of the US attack on Iran. Critics
00:01:50say that one should not act selectively. If
00:01:54I want to describe it correctly, I must say that he completely
00:01:57lost his temper and then started verbally attacking
00:02:00our family. A controversial conversation between

00:02:2260 minutes live from BBC
00:02:26in London. Four years after widespread protests
00:02:30over the killing of Mahsa Amini in Tehran's morality police detention,
00:02:34Tehran witnessed an unprecedented event: a marathon race
00:02:37with hundreds of men and women, while most
00:02:40of the female participants challenged the compulsory
00:02:43hijab. This happened on the very day that the government had called its supporters
00:02:47to the streets in another location. Now the issue has become controversial.
00:02:51The judiciary has filed charges against the organizers and agents
00:02:55of this competition. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Interior
00:02:58also called the simultaneous holding of these two events a mistake,
00:03:02and the Director General of Sports and Youth of Tehran Province
00:03:06said that a pathology session on the marathon issue in
00:03:09Velayat Park is currently underway with officials. What is the government doing
00:03:13regarding social freedoms? Has the perception of tolerance
00:03:16from the government been wrong? We will talk more about this
00:03:20issue. First, a report
00:03:21Hashemi.
00:03:24The Tehran Public Prosecutor's Office announced charges against the organizers
00:03:28of the marathon race. The Public Prosecutor's Office says
00:03:32that a judicial case has been opened for them because a large number
00:03:36of women ran without compulsory hijab.
00:03:38The race was 10 kilometers long and was held in
00:03:42Velayat Park, Tehran. 500 women and
00:03:45100 men raced separately. Jan Fadayans
00:03:49of Iran accompany them. This government exercise of Jan Fadayans
00:03:52of Iran, which was held simultaneously in Tehran yesterday,
00:03:56with the participation of the IRGC military forces and government supporters.
00:04:30It definitely happens, observing
00:04:33the laws and even the prevailing customs of the country is
00:04:36necessary. All our governors, the Security Council
00:04:40and all pillars pay
00:04:42attention to it. Habib Sotoudehnejad, Director General
00:04:46of Sports and Youth of Tehran Province, said that before the start of the competition,
00:04:50athletes were required to sign a commitment to observe
00:04:53technical, ethical and Islamic principles, and headbands were given
00:04:57to them. The law of preserving the system.
00:05:01More than 2300 seminary and university professors and researchers recently
00:05:05wrote a letter to the head of the Supreme National Security Council
00:05:08and called for the necessity of implementing the Chastity and Hijab Bill.
00:05:13One of the most controversial bills of the past few years, the implementation
00:05:17of which was postponed at the recommendation of Masoud Pezeshkian and
00:05:21by order of the Supreme National Security Council. Well, one side accepts
00:05:24hijab, it's the popular culture of the people.
00:05:28The other side, in order to create social capital, brings up
00:05:31so-called social freedoms. Why?
00:05:35Because it benefits
00:05:38from Western propaganda, both in cyberspace
00:05:41and on television.
00:05:44And so on. Well, it wants these two to become social capital. Therefore,
00:05:47Mr. Pezeshkian made this his slogan.
00:05:50That's why he pursued
00:05:54consensus with Mr. Ghalibaf
00:05:57so that Mr. Ghalibaf would not become Speaker of Parliament
00:06:00unless independents and reformists
00:06:04voted for him, and that's what happened.
00:06:08When we became responsible, so to speak, we issued a circular
00:06:11to everyone that they must come with this
00:06:15framework. Of course, we coordinated with the Revolutionary Court and the children
00:06:19that we would make this decision tomorrow. The issue of hijab
00:06:23and such had not yet come up, although Masoud Pezeshkian was one of the pioneers
00:06:26of implementing compulsory hijab in the early years of the revolution,
00:06:30but two years ago he said he could not stand against the people and enforce
00:06:34the hijab and chastity law. Mr. President
00:06:36had an expression that
00:06:40I used, that this view
00:06:43that we currently have on the issue of hijab, that we think
00:06:47by force or by external
00:06:50pressure we can change this, is a wrong path.
00:06:54And beyond all this, we created a patrol and
00:06:58a plan called "Noor" (Light), and
00:07:02this plan is darkness.
00:07:05The non-observance of compulsory hijab by a large part
00:07:09of society's women in the streets is almost normal these days.
00:07:17This was achieved due to the widespread struggle of women and men since the Women, Life, Freedom movement. Four years after the killing
00:07:21of Mahsa Zhina Amini on the pretext of not observing
00:07:24compulsory hijab, now the change in the streets
00:07:28is tangible. A change that does not seem
00:07:32likely to easily return to before the Mahsa
00:07:34movement. Farin Hashemi, BBC

00:07:41France.
00:07:47If, for example, government supporters were not at that gathering
00:07:50and this marathon
00:07:53was held, would they have
00:08:02that that group from the
00:08:06hard core of power, which came to power
00:08:09after March 1st and the start of the US attack
00:08:13on Iran, they used all their might
00:08:17and power to prevent
00:08:20the repetition of what we witnessed
00:08:23on January 8th and 9th in Tehran and the country
00:08:26through street mobilization.
00:08:30And they have paid
00:08:34a very high price for it until now.
00:08:37In practice, the convention held under
00:08:40the title of Jan Fada last Friday
00:08:44tried to somehow borrow from the title
00:08:47given to those killed in January. This
00:08:51propaganda
00:08:53has been overshadowed
00:08:55by that marathon, and as you
00:08:59showed in your report,
00:09:02Mr. Allahkaram, whom we have known for years
00:09:05as the leader of a pressure group,
00:09:09is practically saying that we are turning
00:09:13a blind eye or overlooking it. We have taken
00:09:17a step back, and this shows that the custom has actually changed.
00:09:20Now , purely
00:09:23the conflict that has been exposed is what
00:09:26the government wants to display and has spent heavily
00:09:30on, compared to what the people want to see,
00:09:34and this is not pleasant
00:09:36for those at the top of power.
00:09:39Not good. You mentioned that
00:09:43those in power do not like
00:09:47such scenes, but on the other hand,
00:09:50there is a great desire for social
00:09:53freedoms. How will this struggle
00:09:57continue, especially in wartime, when the country
00:10:01is also under economic pressure?
00:10:05Unfortunately,
00:10:07to put it colloquially,
00:10:09a festering wound. Since none of the
00:10:12laws related to social freedoms
00:10:16have changed, the law that was Article
00:10:20638 of the former
00:10:23Islamic Penal Code and considered not
00:10:27wearing a hijab as punishable
00:10:30is still in place. Now the Hijab and Chastity Bill
00:10:34has not been implemented, and that is also there. Many
00:10:37other cases, even laws related to the use of
00:10:41satellites, are still in effect and
00:10:45have not been repealed or rejected,
00:10:48and the government can use them at any time.
00:10:51Simply put, the change in social
00:10:55norms and what women, especially since
00:10:59the beginning of the revolution, had started with
00:11:02"Woman, Life, Freedom" reached a turning
00:11:05point, causing the government to actually step back
00:11:09a bit to be able to preserve
00:11:12itself. Well, now, will the government
00:11:16potentially, for its own preservation,
00:11:19even, give in to these laws, to these
00:11:23changes, in a formal way?
00:11:30You mentioned the satellite law, the enforcement of which was
00:11:34almost impossible. Is it possible that they will maintain this
00:11:38as it is and then revert to it,
00:11:41or perhaps adapt themselves to social
00:11:43changes and also accept them?
00:11:47It doesn't seem that social changes are reversible,
00:11:51and in fact, gradually,
00:11:55what people have shown since the "Woman,
00:11:59Life, Freedom" movement is that
00:12:02these changes are the desire of the young generation,
00:12:06especially that group that is Generation Z
00:12:10and are now teenagers and young adults. They
00:12:13will absolutely not submit to the laws
00:12:17that we endured in the 1980s. Therefore, it seems
00:12:20that no matter how stubborn they are,
00:12:23this painful compromise will eventually lead
00:12:26to a point where the people can advance their demands.
00:12:30However, in these times, especially during wartime,
00:12:33we have witnessed these dual conflicts
00:12:37between rich and poor, and we will continue
00:12:39to do so. If we talk about political conflict,
00:12:43this issue was highly controversial. Now, reformists,
00:12:47people like Mr. Pezeshkian, wanted
00:12:50things to be easier. They wanted to
00:12:53say that there should be tolerance,
00:12:57but on the other hand, in a different way,
00:13:00these conflicts might start again
00:13:04within the government, and that
00:13:07old wound might reopen?
00:13:11Unfortunately, the war, as many
00:13:14experts and external observers had
00:13:18predicted before, led to the radicalization
00:13:21of the atmosphere and the
00:13:25rise of the extremist
00:13:27faction. At the same time, we know that
00:13:31social changes happen little by little.
00:13:34Even those who are, so to speak, "value-oriented"
00:13:38and hardcore
00:13:41have slowly changed, and
00:13:44now they are not like they were
00:13:48in past decades,
00:13:50as these
00:13:53changes will eventually affect
00:13:56them too. However, the war and what
00:14:00we have witnessed over the past
00:14:03six months helped this extremist faction
00:14:06to insist on many of its demands,
00:14:09otherwise, the civil movement could have achieved
00:14:13more tangible concessions or
00:14:16achievements. Thank you Mr. Ghambarpoor. Sina
00:14:19Ghambarpoor, a journalist
00:14:21in Paris, France. Mitra Zargari, a sociologist
00:14:25and author from Florida, USA, is with us. Ms. Zargari is the author of
00:14:29a three-volume collection on idealism and an ideal society
00:14:32in contemporary Iran. She also has a detailed interview
00:14:36in the book "Street, Space, and Power" titled
00:14:47have passed since the killing of Zhina
00:14:50Mahsa Amini and the protests that led
00:14:53to the Woman, Life, Freedom movement.
00:15:04Is it the same struggle and protests, or is it a different
00:15:08and
00:15:16of the accumulated trend that we can even
00:15:19trace back to before the revolution, to the women's
00:15:23movement. And certainly,
00:15:25after the revolution, this aspect took on a different
00:15:29form and content. The demands became more diverse.
00:15:32But this is a continuation of that, and it's interesting
00:15:36to me again that this discussion arose
00:15:39from a marathon that we can consider the symbol
00:15:43of this physical marathon as a symbol of
00:15:45the marathon that women have fought for
00:15:49for decades and even centuries. And again, as I said
00:15:53to you, after the 1979 revolution,
00:15:57this marathon took on a different depth
00:16:00and content, which is beyond our discussion right now.
00:16:04and and again, this
00:16:08marathon is a marathon that we can say is a symbol
00:16:11of the marathon-like
00:16:15struggle of women for
00:16:18their basic rights in the fight
00:16:22against anti-women, anti-human laws. And this marathon
00:16:25incidentally coincides with a parade
00:16:28that uses the material and spiritual
00:16:32resources that the government provides
00:16:35for the organizers and individuals present at this
00:16:39parade. This has actually
00:16:43converged. A convergence
00:16:46that can actually, in my opinion,
00:16:49in a way, show that despite the government's
00:16:52attempt to impose its own narrative with this
00:16:56parade, the women's movement
00:17:00in the past few decades, in particular,
00:17:03has characteristics that have greatly solidified it.
00:17:07That is, it not only exists in a solidified form,
00:17:11but these characteristics have caused it to show that this movement
00:17:15is a stable
00:17:21Look, in the contemporary period,
00:17:24the women's movement is the only movement that
00:17:28both produces narrative and wears down
00:17:31counter-narrative. What do I mean by counter-narrative?
00:17:34It's the narrative that the Islamic Republic regime
00:17:38tries to spread as
00:17:42a counter-narrative to the existing one
00:17:45in society. Meaning,
00:17:48we see an example of this in this
00:17:52parade.
00:17:54What kind of parade
00:17:57is this government's parade that they call
00:18:00"Jan Fada"? Yes, the Jan Fada parade.
00:18:04In the Jan Fada parade, we see the government trying
00:18:08to embody all the symbols of
00:18:11that idealized, ideological, religious,
00:18:14ideological woman that it has been trying
00:18:17for five decades to
00:18:20promote through various official and unofficial
00:18:24means as the accepted and only prevailing
00:18:27model in society: a veiled woman, an obedient woman,
00:18:31a homemaker, and an ideological woman.
00:18:35And this parade is based on the fact
00:18:38that the organizers of this
00:18:41parade have tried to reflect
00:18:44that ideological woman that the government
00:18:48is trying to create. And you say that this
00:18:51marathon overshadowed that effort.
00:18:55Well, the country's situation
00:18:57is very sensitive. On the one hand,
00:19:01a war is ongoing whose end has not been announced.
00:19:05On the other hand, pressures have reached
00:19:08their peak. But in the midst of all this,
00:19:12in your opinion, how does the protesting
00:19:16society of women who seek greater social freedoms
00:19:19find its way, because you mentioned and said that the women's
00:19:23movement can both create narratives and has been very continuous
00:19:27throughout these years?
00:19:30Yes, the women's movement. Let me
00:19:33complete this in line with your previous
00:19:36question.
00:19:39With staging, they tried to portray the best
00:19:42image of the ideal woman desired by the government.
00:19:46Even in this, they failed, which is why I say
00:19:50that the women's movement was able to become the dominant
00:19:54narrative over the government's official
00:19:57narrative. It has eroded it from within, emptied
00:20:00it. Meaning, in this very parade
00:20:04that they held, we see that they came
00:20:07on motorcycles with different coverings, coverings that
00:20:11even they themselves complained about because
00:20:15they considered them unconventional. In addition, the women's
00:20:18movement, as I saw was mentioned
00:20:22in the previous discussion, was able to normalize
00:20:25things. What does that mean? It means it introduced
00:20:29new norms into society. It has spread
00:20:32them, created them. Normalization occurs
00:20:36when a large part of society accepts the norm.
00:20:39Here, whether the law wants it or not,
00:20:42the government is forced So this is not something
00:20:46the government chooses. It is not its desire
00:20:50or something it can prevent. This is a process that has emerged
00:20:53in society, and you correctly included
00:20:57in your question whether this is a generational
00:21:00continuity. Yes, in fact, another characteristic of
00:21:03our contemporary women's movement, the women's
00:21:06movement in general, is this generational continuity.
00:21:10we can consider this marathon as a manifestation
00:21:13and a symbol of, has the characteristic
00:21:17of being multi-generational. That is, in the women's
00:21:21movement, this is one of the reasons for its success,
00:21:24that it has been able to bring together different generations.
00:21:27I can say we don't have many other social movements
00:21:31that bring together such a wide range of generations
00:21:35in an accumulative way. That is,
00:21:38it is not just the continuation of today's
00:21:4190s generation, it is not just the continuation
00:21:44of the 30s or 40s generation. It is accumulative and
00:21:48redefines everything, and all of this contributes
00:21:51to its stability and continuity, shaping a solidified
00:21:55future for this movement. Furthermore,
00:21:59in my opinion, a point that definitely needs to be defined
00:22:02is that this marathon, as I said, strangely
00:22:06incorporates all the symbols of the movement.
00:22:09It shows that the women's movement has entered the phase
00:22:12of reclaiming prohibited spaces. We saw this before,
00:22:15too. That is, we have been seeing for decades that women are slowly
00:22:19reclaiming prohibited spaces or spaces that
00:22:22have been considered male spaces.
00:22:26They are taking them back. This stage
00:22:29is irreversible. That's why I say that
00:22:32whether the government wants
00:22:45of normalization, it becomes
00:22:52of the government, I, whether I want to or not,
00:22:55am forced to concede. Whether I incorporate it into law
00:22:59or not, the women's movement has normalized
00:23:02things. The women's movement has conquered space.
00:23:06Ms. Zargari, thank you very much. Mitra Zargari,

00:23:12Mohsen Rezaee, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, says
00:23:16Tehran has communicated its conditions for negotiation through mediators
00:23:20with the US and is now waiting for Donald Trump's answer.
00:23:23In an interview with Al Jazeera, he said Iran's conditions
00:23:27include an end to the war on all fronts, the unblocking of Iran's frozen
00:23:30assets, and an end to the naval blockade. Mr. Rezaee
00:23:34also warned that if Iran is attacked, US bases
00:23:37and Washington's interests in the region
00:23:40will be targeted with greater force. Earlier,
00:23:44US President Donald Trump had again emphasized that
00:23:47the war with Iran would soon end
00:23:50and gasoline prices would return to a significantly
00:23:53lower level, or even lower than before. Kasra Naji
00:23:56reports.
00:23:58In the US, there are nearly six weeks left until the midterm
00:24:02elections, which could remove both chambers of the US Congress
00:24:05from the control of the President's supporters and Republicans.
00:24:09Elections amidst rising
00:24:12living costs, including the price of gasoline
00:24:15and diesel, following the war with Iran
00:24:18that Donald Trump started.
00:24:50I'm proud of it, and that is that Iran will never acquire
00:24:53nuclear weapons. Of course, for such an achievement, people must pay
00:24:57something extra. I think if people were to choose
00:25:00between lower gasoline and diesel prices
00:25:04or the threat of nuclear Iran, I bet the result
00:25:08would be a very high vote. People don't want
00:25:11Iran to acquire nuclear
00:25:13weapons.
00:25:15Direct war between the two sides has subsided for about
00:25:1910 days. But there is no sign that it will end soon.
00:25:22The Iranian side seeks to inflict the biggest
00:25:26blow to the Republicans' electoral
00:25:29chances in the American midterm elections.
00:25:31آمریکاست.
00:25:35This is the US Defense Secretary and his complaint about the country's
00:25:39major media, who, according to him, only want to criticize the
00:25:42president. It's
00:25:45very sad that at the very moment our warriors are achieving
00:25:49great success in dangerous situations,
00:25:52we have insane media whose hatred for the president is greater
00:25:55than their love for America. But we
00:25:58will complete our mission. Iran will never possess nuclear weapons.
00:26:19It is reported that two airport runways were targeted and
00:26:23flights were halted. Houthi attacks and
00:26:26Saudi forces against each other have intensified
00:26:29in recent days, and with that,
00:26:33the price of gasoline and diesel in
00:26:36the US is likely to increase. Kasra
00:26:38Naji, BBC. Yemen's Houthis say they have targeted
00:26:42positions in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and the city of
00:26:46Yanbu on the Red Sea coast. The Iran-backed
00:26:50group has announced that it also attacked Saudi Arabia's
00:26:53state oil company, Aramco. Bloomberg News, quoting informed
00:26:57sources, reported that Aramco informed at least two
00:27:01European customers that they would not receive crude
00:27:04oil next month. To examine the impact of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia
00:27:08and their effect on oil production,
00:27:11I spoke with Eliezer, an energy market
00:27:14analyst and a manager at Beringa, which
00:27:18consults on the energy market. I first asked him how much of Saudi
00:27:22Arabia's production has been
00:27:24taken offline.
00:27:28I think the main question is how much oil is actually being moved,
00:27:31because almost all the volume produced from various Saudi
00:27:35fields, given that it's stuck in the Gulf, practically
00:27:38cannot be moved. If we look at Saudi Arabia as a whole,
00:27:42this country usually produces about 10 million barrels
00:27:45per day, and a large part of it passes through
00:27:49the Strait of Hormuz. In reality, however, because very
00:27:52little oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia
00:27:56used to transport about four million barrels per day through
00:28:00a pipeline to the Red Sea and export it from there.
00:28:03This route has recently been affected by Houthi attacks.
00:28:07They targeted a pumping station on this pipeline,
00:28:11bringing its activity to a halt, which has a significant impact.
00:28:15It seems this pipeline may soon be reactivated,
00:28:18but probably only at 50% capacity. Therefore, we expect about
00:28:222 million barrels per day to re-enter the cycle
00:28:26through this pipeline. The fundamental challenge is still how to get
00:28:29this oil out of the Red Sea, and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait
00:28:33is clearly facing restrictions.
00:28:35So this makes things very difficult. Is it possible
00:28:39that OPEC member countries
00:28:42or global strategic energy reserves can
00:28:45compensate for this shortage? Or will
00:28:49we face a real global supply shortage?
00:28:52The
00:28:56system has been incredibly resilient so far. If we go back to when
00:28:59this crisis began, analysts, including myself, predicted
00:29:03that we might face shortages of some products
00:29:06like jet fuel, especially in the summer. But this
00:29:10didn't happen. Many other producers in the world
00:29:13increased their production. On the other hand,
00:29:17consumers also didn't have much desire to significantly
00:29:20reduce demand. Demand in China has decreased
00:29:24in a specific way, but not because consumption
00:29:27has stopped. It's more because the type of fuel
00:29:31used has changed, and they have drawn from their
00:29:34reserves. This has led to greater flexibility and
00:29:38resilience in the summer. But the main challenge is that
00:29:41we are now entering the winter season in the Northern
00:29:45Hemisphere, a season when our consumption, especially
00:29:48of petroleum products for heating, significantly
00:29:52increases. There is no more excess production to be put
00:29:55into the market, and there is no more excess
00:29:59refining capacity that can be activated. Therefore,
00:30:33Yes, they certainly can, and strategic reserves
00:30:36are indeed very important. reserves are controlled by the government, andTELEVISION NEWS TRANSCRIPT:
00:30:40In fact, as state or sovereign
00:30:43reserves. In other countries, the reserves are held by the
00:30:47private sector, and naturally, their release requires
00:30:51negotiation with private companies that hold these reserves.
00:30:54This is definitely one of the levers that can be
00:30:58used. However, it should be noted that reserves in some.
