00:00:30To a short news segment with the continuation of Houthi missile attacks
00:00:33in Yemen on Saudi Arabia, BP has
00:00:36withdrawn from the international energy conference in Riyadh,
00:00:40and reports indicate the cancellation of several
00:00:44major oil companies' CEOs' presence. Yesterday,
00:00:47Riyadh International Airport was targeted again, and
00:00:51now the number of ships attacked in recent days has reached 14.
00:00:55The US Federal Aviation Administration has warned about the danger of flying to
00:00:59Saudi Arabia or passing through its airspace.
00:01:02My colleague, Faein Hasemi, is here with me,
00:01:05and these Houthi attacks are still ongoing. What's new?
00:01:09That's right, Majid. After three days of continuous attacks, we still see
00:01:12these attacks continuing. Last night, the Saudi Civil
00:01:15Aviation Authority announced that King Fahd
00:01:19International Airport in Dammam was also attacked,
00:01:23and as you announced, the death
00:01:27toll has reached 14, including one American. It has been announced
00:01:30that one American was killed in these attacks at King Khalid Airport
00:01:34in Riyadh, and also more than
00:01:37300 people have been injured. The reactions have also been extensive,
00:01:40from China to Australia.
00:01:43Countries have condemned these attacks. Many
00:01:46countries have urged their citizens not to travel
00:01:50to Saudi Arabia and stated that now is not a suitable
00:01:54time. Anwar Gargash, advisor to the President of the United Arab Emirates, also sent
00:01:58a message on the X network. He said that targeting Saudi
00:02:02Arabia affects the security of the UAE and other countries in the Persian
00:02:05Gulf. He warned that maintaining the security of the Persian
00:02:09Gulf is a collective responsibility.
00:02:13Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, also spoke by phone last night
00:02:16with Faisal bin Farhan, Saudi
00:02:19Arabia's Foreign Minister, and expressed the Islamic Republic's readiness
00:02:23to mediate between Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
00:02:26And it seems that this concern about escalating tensions, which
00:03:30or flying through its airspace, should be done with caution. This warning
00:03:34continues until December 10th.
00:03:37It is in effect following the attacks on Saturday and Sunday. On the other hand,
00:03:41Riyadh airport is scheduled to be closed until Monday evening,
00:03:44US Eastern Time. Satellite images also show
00:03:48that flights in that region have
00:03:51decreased significantly. And where have the Iran-US negotiations reached?
00:03:55Now, Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of
00:03:57Iran's Supreme National Security Council, has said that the US has responded,
00:04:01but its response is not sufficient, and Iran is still
00:04:05reviewing it. This morning, Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for
00:04:08Iran's Foreign Ministry, said that the US response is not
00:04:11sufficient in their opinion. He also said that messages are still being exchanged
00:04:15between Iran and the US through intermediaries, and
00:04:18Tehran is reviewing the points raised in the US response,
00:04:22and they are expected to respond in the coming days. It seems that
00:04:26no answer has yet been given by Iran to the US.
00:04:30And very briefly today, if you could tell us that oil prices also seem to have
00:04:33increased a bit, right? Brent crude oil prices
00:04:37increased by 76 cents to 105 dollars and 48 cents
00:04:40per barrel. US West Texas Intermediate crude oil
00:04:44also increased by 59 cents to 92
00:04:47dollars and 44 cents. Ships and tankers
00:04:51have also been attacked in the Strait of Hormuz, and all
00:04:55of these, and the tension in the Middle East, seem to be pushing
00:04:59oil prices even higher. Thank you, Fareen.
