00:00:00analyze it and comment
00:00:03on it. Well, we are faced
00:00:07with a country that has been attacked for the past 10-12
00:00:11years. A brutal
00:00:14siege has been imposed on it, and
00:00:17they have made many efforts through
00:00:21various means to achieve their rights and dignity.
00:00:24Well, through these
00:00:27paths.
00:00:35Decisions that they consider appropriate
00:00:39for the realization of their rights have been
00:00:41made. At the same time, we know that Yemenis
00:00:45have been attacked several times
00:00:48by the Zionist regime and America during these three years. The principled
00:00:51stance of Yemenis regarding
00:00:53the issue
00:00:56that is the primary issue of the Islamic
00:00:59world, a kind of the
00:01:02world today, is the occupation of Palestine, the occupation
00:01:05of Palestine, the hegemonic ambitions of the
00:01:09Zionist regime in Lebanon, in Syria, in
00:01:12other countries. Well, Yemenis have shown that
00:01:16they are free people and
00:01:19issues of the Islamic community
00:01:23and human issues are important to them, and we
00:01:27must also take this into account.
00:01:30Another point is that maritime security and
00:01:32freedom
00:01:34of maritime trade should be taken into account for
00:01:38everyone, and everyone should be able to use it. You cannot
00:01:41attack a country or countries or impose
00:01:45a maritime blockade on them and unilaterally expect
00:01:49them to be the guardians
00:01:52and protectors of maritime shipping.
00:01:56Therefore, my advice to
00:02:01all countries in the region is to see the realities,
00:02:05refrain from projection and
00:02:08baseless accusations against others. If they
00:02:11really intend to solve the problems,
00:02:15because repeating some claims and accusations
00:02:18may cause the claimant
00:02:22himself to believe such claims
00:02:25and then make a miscalculation
00:02:28in finding a solution to the problem.
00:02:42officials and American media claimed
00:02:45that Iran had a role in the attack that, according to them, came from Iraq
00:02:48on the East-West oil pipeline
00:02:52of Saudi Arabia. What is Tehran's
00:02:55reaction to this claim? Well,
00:02:59Americans are constantly producing
00:03:02false news and false claims at no
00:03:06cost. There is no doubt about this. One of the points
00:03:09I made was about this issue, that
00:03:12in this situation,
00:03:15America constantly produces a lie to intensify
00:03:19the differences between the countries of the region. Well, one
00:03:22of the consequences
00:03:26is the issues that exist in our region and countries
00:03:30must solve them themselves. Otherwise, parties that
00:03:33do not
00:03:36want the good of our region will constantly
00:03:40resort to these lies to
00:03:42further complicate the situation.
00:03:46Absolutely, these claims that American officials made
00:03:50about Iran's involvement in these developments
00:03:53are not
00:03:55true and are definitively denied.
00:03:58These claims.
00:04:09claimed to have signs of nuclear activity
00:04:12in the Kalning. However, he himself said that there is no confirmed
00:04:16information about the nature of the activity there. This is while
00:04:20he is concerned about countries that are reviewing
00:04:23the acquisition and possible use
00:04:27of nuclear weapons. What is your reaction to this issue?
00:04:31Look, this
00:04:32Kolningzala
00:04:37has been talked about many times. Its exact name
00:04:41is this. They talk in a way that
00:04:45it seems they have discovered a
00:04:49secret, confidential file.
00:04:52Much ado about nothing. I
00:04:55remember that at the time when
00:04:59negotiations between
00:05:03the 13th government and the former
00:05:06US government were ongoing under the supervision of Mr.
00:05:10Bagheri Kani,
00:05:12one of the issues they raised at that time, that is, about six or seven
00:05:16years ago, was this very issue: that there are constructions
00:05:20taking place at this location. Well, we
00:05:23were not a member of the protocol at that time, and we
00:05:25still
00:05:28are not. And according to the safeguard commitments,
00:05:32whatever was necessary or will be necessary for us to inform
00:05:35the Agency, we have informed them.
00:05:39Therefore, the talks about
00:06:13such an inspection happening once a year. My point
00:06:17is six years ago. I say this so
00:06:19that we know once and for all that
00:06:23the talks about Kolningzala are
00:06:27in
00:06:30line with America's media and psychological
00:06:33warfare, which every now and then, when
00:06:37they run out of other
00:06:40lies, they create a new issue solely to create
00:06:44an atmosphere and continue a lie that
00:06:47is truly difficult for them to maintain. For 30 years, they have been saying
00:06:51that Iran is seeking a nuclear bomb. Not once has the Agency,
00:06:54despite all its biases, despite all its political
00:06:58maneuvering, including in its recent report,
00:07:01said that Iran has committed
00:07:05non-compliance. It has committed non-compliance.
00:07:08Well, to justify this lie,
00:07:11they constantly raise a new
00:07:14issue with media hype,
00:07:18and very often, many people mistakenly
00:07:21believe that there is a new
00:07:24development or that something
00:07:28specific is happening
00:07:38United States, in the grand
00:07:41scheme of things, is seeking
00:07:44a complete and comprehensive
00:07:46isolation of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
00:07:50We had the BRICS
00:07:53summit in the past few days.
00:07:56What action will BRICS take against
00:07:59the US isolation program for Iran, and has
00:08:03Iran requested a collective
00:08:06action from BRICS to prevent
00:08:10this from happening? Thank you. A country
00:08:13that
00:08:21has garnered the admiration and praise
00:08:24of all countries, even
00:08:27if they do not express it due to
00:08:30their awkwardness with America,
00:08:34this country will not be isolated.
00:08:37On the contrary, look at
00:08:40America's standing.
00:08:45America committed a
00:08:47criminal mistake.
00:08:50It committed a very heinous crime by
00:08:54attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran and
00:08:57colluding with a genocidal regime.
00:09:00It is constantly involving
00:09:04itself more in this
00:09:07path. The international community has rightly
00:09:10realized, including in our region,
00:09:14that America's actions have disrupted
00:09:17international norms
00:09:20that are not merely desirable but essential
00:09:23for the continuation of international
00:09:26peace and security. It has turned the United
00:09:30Nations into a tool. It has reduced the International
00:09:33Atomic Energy Agency to a political
00:09:36tool. It has violated
00:09:40the most important principles of the United Nations Charter,
00:09:43which prohibits the use of force.
00:09:47Well, in such a situation, countries use
00:09:50every opportunity, including in multilateral arrangements
00:09:53like Shanghai and BRICS, to show
00:09:57that they are opposed to this method, to this
00:09:59process, and also to find
00:10:02solutions to deal with the consequences of such
00:10:06a trend. Also consider America's
00:10:10allies: Canada, Europe, all countries that once
00:10:12believed that America, as the leader
00:10:16of the free world, acted in their
00:10:19interests. But we see that these countries have also
00:10:23come to the conclusion that they must find
00:10:27a way to curb America's
00:10:30aggressive, hostile, and destructive
00:10:43the US government's pressures,
00:10:46we witnessed that Dr. Eslami was prevented
00:10:50from obtaining a visa to attend
00:10:52the Agency's meeting. This is an illegal
00:10:56act, and it seems that if we don't address
00:10:59it now, the US
00:11:02government will likely obstruct the presence of the Iranian
00:11:06delegation and our president at the United Nations as well. In this
00:11:09regard, I would like to know your position, and also what legal and lawful
00:11:13follow-up and action will be taken. Well,
00:11:16the action of the Austrian government as the host government is absolutely
00:11:20unjustified. According to their commitments,
00:11:23they should
00:11:32Their chargé d'affaires was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:11:35for protest. In the
00:11:38meeting, we also expressed our protest.
00:11:42Well, look,
00:11:45it's all contradiction after contradiction. On the one hand,
00:11:48they accuse a country, issue resolutions,
00:11:52and prepare false reports.
00:11:55And then they also prevent
00:11:59the representatives of the country from defending themselves. That is, the war they started was not
00:12:03only a military war, it is a war in the diplomatic and legal
00:12:06arenas to
00:12:09prevent Iran's voice
00:12:12from reaching other countries. Well, we use
00:12:15all means to
00:12:19prevent such a goal from being achieved.
00:12:22The fact that the Austrian government tells us that
00:12:26it was under pressure or at America's request, which is evident
00:12:29to us, that it took this action,
00:12:32in no way absolves
00:12:35the host government of responsibility. I think any government that hosts
00:12:39international organizations or international meetings
00:12:43should first and foremost protect its
00:12:46credibility and standing and not allow
00:12:49American pressures
00:12:52to cause
00:12:56these countries to incur international responsibility
00:13:00due to
00:13:12you very much. You caused the voices
00:13:15of the martyrs of Lamard and their families to be heard
00:13:18more widely by the world. My question is this: regarding the submarine that
00:13:22was seized by Iran, and now news has been released,
00:13:26have there been any consultations or negotiations by the United States
00:13:30for the release or return of this submarine or not? If
00:13:34such consultations have taken place, is this issue being
00:13:37pursued within the framework of negotiations or diplomatic channels
00:13:55My question was about the message you published
00:13:59about Iran's
00:14:01attention to the Agency's ambiguous and
00:14:05false reports and its Director General
00:14:08who created a narrative that led to
00:14:12the US and the Zionist regime attacking Iran and committing
00:14:16aggression. And we said that Tehran is taking
00:14:19into account the responsibility of the Agency's Director General
00:14:23and is pursuing it, and it is on the agenda. I wanted to know what
00:14:27channels and in what way
00:14:34in any case,
00:14:37responsibility for any participation and complicity in
00:14:40committing an international crime is not something that will
00:14:44disappear with time. This is a
00:14:47permanent and ongoing
00:14:50issue, and
00:14:53we use
00:14:55every opportunity to explain this issue and
00:14:58to record it, and we regret that,
00:15:01despite this experience being repeated
00:15:05twice, the International Atomic Energy
00:15:08Agency, the Director General himself, allowed
00:15:12such a report,
00:15:15such an atmosphere to be misused
00:15:18to prepare a resolution—a
00:15:21resolution that is not even based on
00:15:25the report but is entirely based on the misuse of the report.
00:15:28However, the very statement,
00:15:31incomplete or completely distorted
00:15:34facts from the Director General
00:15:37himself
00:15:40creates the grounds for misuse. If the Director General
00:15:44wants to have a fair and technical
00:15:47approach to the issue, he should,
00:15:50first and foremost, condemn the illegal actions of the United
00:15:54States and the Zionist regime.
00:15:57He should condemn the
00:16:00attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, which cannot
00:16:04be justified by any standard. These very statements that are made
00:16:08from time to time by American officials threatening Iran,
00:16:11threatening Iran's nuclear facilities or constructions,
00:16:15each of them deserves
00:16:18a strong stance from the Director
00:16:21General. Unfortunately, this
00:16:34stating that Iran, after
00:16:43the Islamic Republic conveyed its conditions through
00:16:46intermediaries to the American side. I wanted to
00:16:50know if this news is true or not, and if possible,
00:16:59We reached an
00:17:01understanding on June 18th.
00:17:04Both countries signed it at the highest
00:17:08level. 21 days later, America unilaterally
00:17:11violated it
00:17:15and resumed or intensified
00:17:17its illegal
00:17:21and aggressive
00:17:23actions, including
00:17:25the naval blockade and economic war.
00:17:29Well,
00:17:32it is very clear what America should
00:17:35do. America must
00:17:38stop all its illegal and interventionist actions
00:17:41against Iran, compensate
00:17:45for the crimes it has committed,
00:17:48lift the sanctions it has imposed, and end the
00:17:52economic war it has started. Therefore, I don't
00:17:55think there is any ambiguous
00:17:58or complicated issue regarding
00:18:01regional developments. As long as America
00:18:04insists on continuing
00:18:08its aggressive
00:18:10actions, naval blockade, and other
00:18:14actions that are contrary to international law,
00:18:16it will be an act
00:18:18of aggression.
00:18:20Definitely, the Islamic Republic of Iran
00:18:24will
00:18:27continue to take
00:18:40Gulf officials said that for
00:18:44negotiations with Iran, they would reduce
00:18:47the priority of the Strait of Hormuz and focus on nuclear
00:18:51issues. I wanted to ask if this could have affected
00:18:55the suspension or postponement
00:18:59of the understanding and this meeting, and how this meeting
00:19:02could have been effective in relieving
00:19:06the naval blockade in the future, if it takes place
00:19:09in the future, how it could have been involved or
00:19:12fruitful? Well, the media speculating is very much
00:19:16not something I'm going to comment
00:19:18on in this regard,
00:19:22because these are many and varied
00:19:25analyses. But what concerns
00:19:28us and Oman, not
00:19:31anyone else, is the issue of the security
00:19:34of the Strait of Hormuz, which concerns the two coastal states, and of course. Of course, we
00:19:38are aware of our responsibilities
00:19:41towards the international community and
00:19:44the region. And that is why we say that the countries
00:19:47of the region and the international community should hold America accountable
00:19:51because everything that is currently happening in terms
00:19:54of insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz is the result of America's
00:19:58actions. The world must see this. This
00:20:02is very clear. You cannot simply
00:20:05by addressing
00:20:10the effect, saying that Iran
00:20:14has taken measures regarding transit in the Strait
00:20:17of Hormuz, ignore the cause. The main
00:20:21cause of this situation is the illegal actions of the United States
00:20:25and the Zionist regime. From March 9, 2023,
00:20:28and it continues until now. It's not like it
00:20:32only existed for a period and then ended. America's illegal actions continue,
00:20:36and that is the reason for the insecurity.
00:20:38The fact
00:20:41that America wants itself
00:20:44or other countries to talk about a certain issue
00:20:48does not affect our priority and will.
00:20:52We will do whatever is in the best interest and benefit of our national
00:20:55security and whatever is in line
00:20:59with the common interests of the coastal states.
00:21:01Thank you.
00:21:11during the BRICS summit that was held
00:21:14last week in New Delhi, once
00:21:17again emphasized a four-point
00:21:20plan based on establishing
00:21:23lasting peace and creating a regional security architecture in the Middle East.
00:21:27The Beijing government had previously spoken about this
00:21:31issue about 5 or 6 months ago, that is, in April 2026.
00:21:34My question is whether the recent statements
00:21:37of the Chinese president at the BRICS
00:21:40summit refer to a specific plan for
00:21:44mediation in the current situation, meaning has a specific
00:21:47proposal in this regard been given to Iran and other parties,
00:21:51or is it merely a repetition
00:21:54of China's positions that we have heard many times before?
00:21:58Specifically, are we, alongside Pakistan, witnessing
00:22:01the entry of a new mediator named China?
00:22:05Thank you. Well,
00:22:07we have always welcomed China's principled
00:22:11and responsible stance on
00:22:14regional security issues. China
00:22:16has played a very constructive
00:22:20role in helping
00:22:23strengthen security
00:22:27and stability in our region,
00:22:30and we have always expressed our readiness to have
00:22:34the cooperation
00:22:37of the Chinese in this regard.
00:22:40Our understanding is that China
00:22:43expresses its principled position at every opportunity,
00:22:47and this is very valuable.
00:22:57China's position on regional
00:23:00issues, I think, is welcomed
00:23:03by both Iran and other countries.
00:23:06However, to say that in the precise
00:23:10sense of the word, in the technical
00:23:12sense of the word, we are witnessing
00:23:16the entry of a new player in the role and capacity of a mediator,
00:23:20I don't think that is the case.
00:23:23Pakistan is doing its job well. Basically,
00:23:27I would also like to say that our problem is not mediators. The problem
00:23:30between Iran and America has never
00:23:34been a mediator. The problem is the lack
00:23:37of real will and
00:23:40at least good faith from the American
00:23:43side to use diplomacy
00:23:47to
00:23:49resolve problems. Therefore, as long as this approach exists
00:23:53on the American side,
00:23:55well, no matter which
00:23:59mediator you use, they will, in a way,
00:24:02discredit them.
00:24:16has imposed. Earlier,
00:24:20we had news regarding Turkey saying that due to
00:24:23American sanctions, it can no longer pay for Iran's gas, and
00:24:27Iran, in return
00:24:30for the gas it exports, can only receive medicine and
00:24:34food from Turkey. I want to know if such a thing is true,
00:24:37and also, regarding this visa
00:24:40issue, do you have any new news about
00:24:44the issuance of visas for the Iranian delegation to go to New York
00:24:48from Turkey?
00:24:50Look, regarding visas, no, we have
00:24:52not received any news
00:24:56until now.
00:24:59Well, as soon as there is any development
00:25:02in this regard, we will definitely inform you.
00:25:05Regarding the first part of your question,
00:25:08these issues are being raised. This is an atmosphere that is being
00:25:12created regarding Iran's relations
00:25:16with other countries, with neighboring countries. A large part of it
00:25:20is actually in line with
00:25:24that very instigation. I don't claim
00:25:28that America is not trying
00:25:31to implement its oppressive sanctions, including
00:25:35through pressuring Iran's trading partners, the countries
00:25:38of the region. But on the other hand, we are witnessing a widespread
00:25:42media campaign to multiply
00:25:46the effectiveness of their economic war.
00:25:50And this is where we must be careful
00:25:54not to fall for the hype
00:25:57and media tricks. Our relationship with neighboring countries
00:26:01is a good relationship. Especially with Turkey,
00:26:04and we will certainly use
00:26:08all diplomatic means and consultations to
00:26:11prevent
00:26:13America's
00:26:15actions
00:26:19and their goals from being achieved, which are certainly
00:26:32days, we have witnessed a wave in Western media
00:26:36and think tanks about Iran supposedly
00:26:40seeking to change its nuclear doctrine, and
00:26:43it is stated that discussions have been held in the Islamic Consultative Assembly
00:26:47regarding withdrawal from
00:26:53this is also part
00:26:56of the contradiction and impudence of the opposing
00:27:00sides. On the one hand, they themselves act
00:27:03in a way that the very
00:27:05existence
00:27:08of the NPT regime is called into question,
00:27:10and on the other hand, they complain
00:27:14why countries are even talking about
00:27:17issues related to deterrence
00:27:20and nuclear matters.
00:27:24The primary cause
00:27:26of such discussions are those
00:27:30who have violated the non-proliferation treaty
00:27:35of nuclear
00:27:36weapons,
00:27:44and the part that is very important to us
00:27:47is the right to use nuclear energy for peaceful
00:27:51purposes. Well, they have not taken any steps in the field of disarmament;
00:27:54instead, they have intensified
00:27:57the spread of nuclear weapons. Nor have they been
00:28:00successful in non-proliferation. They have allowed
00:28:03themselves to possess nuclear weapons, including the Zionist
00:28:07regime. And regarding the benefit of countries, including
00:28:11developing countries, from nuclear energy,
00:28:14see how they create obstacles. They have used
00:28:17every means, especially regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran.
00:28:20Therefore,
00:28:24self-restraint is not prudent for us.
00:28:27Well, the policy of the system is clear. We, as a country that
00:28:31has a civil society,
00:28:33the members of parliament talk about various
00:28:37issues. We cannot prevent
00:28:41dialogue and discussion
00:28:44regarding various issues that are related to the national security
00:28:47of the country. Let's not forget that Iran is the only
00:28:51country whose nuclear facilities have been attacked
00:28:54several times in the past year and a half. Let's not
00:28:58forget that they assassinated our nuclear scientists. In these
00:29:03decades, sabotage has occurred in Iran's nuclear
00:29:06facilities in a situation where all these nuclear facilities have been under the supervision of the Agency
00:29:10and Iran has been completely committed to its safeguard
00:29:14commitments under the NPT.
00:29:17Therefore,
00:29:19in such a context and atmosphere,
00:29:23the fact that our
00:29:26elites,
00:29:30those who have a position
00:29:33in media issues,
00:29:36political issues, talk about these issues, I don't think it's
00:29:52the countries of the Persian Gulf be only to inform
00:29:55about the results of your talks with Oman,
00:29:58or can it be considered the beginning of a new
00:30:02phase after the aggression of America and Israel against Iran?
00:30:05And does Iran have proposals or a roadmap to
00:30:09organize relations with the Persian Gulf countries
00:30:12in mind? Thank you, now that
00:30:14it has been postponed
00:30:18and will not be held today,
00:30:22but such a meeting certainly
00:30:26could have been a step, however small,
00:30:29in the path of
00:30:32dialogue between Iran and the countries
00:30:36of the Persian Gulf. Let's also keep in mind that it's not just about Iran
00:30:40and those countries; those countries also need to talk
00:30:44to each other. You are aware
00:30:47that some differences, which are very serious, among
00:30:51these countries have themselves paved the way for many
00:30:55issues in our region, including in Yemen.
00:30:58Therefore, this conversation
