00:00:25In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello again to our
00:00:28esteemed viewers. The Public Relations of the IRGC announced
00:00:32the destruction of two advanced American MQ1 drones.
00:00:36These two advanced drones were intercepted and destroyed
00:00:39at dawn and this morning by the fire of the IRGC's
00:00:43advanced aerospace defense system and under the control
00:00:47of the country's integrated air defense network in the skies
00:00:50west and east of the Strait of Hormuz.
00:00:53So far, four drones
00:00:56of the terrorist American army have been destroyed
00:01:00in the past few days by the fire of the IRGC's new advanced
00:01:03aerospace defense system.
00:01:04De-dollarization
00:01:08of trade exchanges in BRICS has become more serious.
00:01:11The Deputy Minister of Economic Policy of the Ministry of Economic
00:01:15Affairs and Finance described the creation of a new regional
00:01:18balance as one of the achievements of the meeting of the economic
00:01:21ministers of the member countries at the BRICS summit
00:01:25and said: The current trend in the world is the development
00:01:29of economic agreements.
00:01:34Iran also has very serious capacities in this regard. Perhaps
00:01:38one of our most important capacities that we use with our northern
00:01:41neighbors is our route capacity. We have a route that connects
00:01:45them to the free waters of the south.
00:01:48These exchanges and their development in
00:01:52several economic axes,
00:01:54meaning the strengthening of trade, the creation
00:01:57of trade routes,
00:02:00and the creation of an economic balance based on the use of local
00:02:03currencies instead of a single global currency and actually
00:02:07replacing the dollar can provide
00:02:10a good opportunity for us to develop our regional agreements.
00:02:13The results
00:02:17of experts' investigations show that far-right parties
00:02:21and groups in Europe are no longer
00:02:24a marginal movement. The latest example has
00:02:27emerged in Germany, where the far-right
00:02:30Alternative for Germany party
00:02:34managed to win 44% of the votes in the state
00:02:38elections. Daily economic
00:02:42and social problems in European countries
00:02:46have increasingly paved the way for far-right parties to
00:02:49gain prominence, so that with the help of aligned
00:02:53politicians and media and by linking the problems
00:02:56of these countries to immigrants and Muslims, they can turn the people against them.
00:03:03The main policy of populist parties is opposition to immigrants.
00:03:07They portray immigrants as the cause of problems
00:03:11and insecurity. The slogans and positions of European
00:03:14right-wing parties are similar to Trump's.
00:03:17In the past months in England, several waves of Islamophobia
00:03:21and anti-immigrant sentiment, fueled by the misinformation
00:03:25of far-right individuals and groups on social media, have led to
00:03:28an increase in attacks against
00:03:30Islamic places, homes, shops of Muslims, and immigrants.
00:03:33In the latest
00:03:36incidents, two days after demonstrations against immigrants
00:03:39in the port of Dover, hundreds of black-clad men
00:03:42violently threatened immigrants in the city
00:03:46and clashed with the police. as
00:03:48anti-fascist
00:03:53and anti-far-right individuals, like Tommy Robinson,
00:03:56as well as politicians with authoritarian views,
00:04:00our voices must be seen and heard.
00:04:03We should not merely observe the destructive approach
00:04:07of these individuals. Nigel Farage, the controversial
00:04:11anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim figure and leader of the far-right
00:04:14Reform Party in the UK, in his latest statements,
00:04:18called immigrants a serious
00:04:19threat to the UK.
00:04:22We will stop immigrant boats within the first hundred days
00:04:26of forming our government. A number of sociologists
00:04:31in England believe that most far-right groups in Europe
00:04:34are supporters of Israel and also enjoy their support,
00:04:38because they are aligned in their racist and anti-Muslim
00:04:41discourse. Social monitoring institutions
00:04:45in England
00:04:49believe that structural racism,
00:04:53supported by a large number of British politicians,
00:04:57has led to a rapid increase in attacks
00:05:00against Muslims and other minorities in this country,
00:05:03and has created a darker outlook for them in this
00:05:07society. Mojtaba

00:05:14Following
00:05:14a prolonged attack
00:05:18by the Zionist regime on the west of Gaza City,
00:05:21one Palestinian was martyred and several others were injured.
00:05:25The Palestinian Information Center in Gaza reported
00:05:29an escalation of military attacks by the Zionist regime
00:05:32in various areas of central and southern Gaza. Zionist
00:05:36regime military vehicles today extensively shelled
00:05:40the eastern areas of Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central
00:05:44Gaza Strip, as well as the southern areas of Khan Younis.
00:05:47Simultaneously, occupation military
00:05:50vehicles shelled east of Deir al-Balah.
00:05:53Zionist regime army helicopters also heavily targeted
00:05:57the eastern areas of Al-Bureij refugee camp in the central
00:06:01Gaza Strip. Zionist regime army
00:06:04warships also shelled the coasts of Nuseirat
00:06:08in the central Gaza Strip. Another news is that the Ministry
00:06:12of Health in Gaza, referring to the fuel cutoff for health
00:06:16institutions, warned that the cessation of fuel supply
00:06:19for these institutions has put vital services,
00:06:22including surgery, childbirth, and care for the injured,
00:06:25at risk of stopping, and could lead
00:06:28to a humanitarian catastrophe in the region.
00:06:32The Director
00:06:35General of Education of Tehran City advised
00:06:39students' parents to finalize their children's registration
00:06:43as soon as possible. The registration
00:06:45has not yet been completed.
00:06:47More than 90%, I think more than 91%
00:06:51of the registration has been done. The registration
00:06:55for textbooks is also almost in the same format.
00:06:59So, my request to the students and respected
00:07:03parents of students is to register and order textbooks sooner
00:07:06so that the school can have better and more precise
00:07:09planning. The fifth
00:07:15honoring ceremony for the lasting figures of cultural
00:07:18heritage with the slogan "Iran, the Home of the Good"
00:07:22was held at the historical cultural complex of Saadabad.
00:07:25In this ceremony, the names and memories of two deceased
00:07:29figures, the late Dr. Ezzatollah Negahban and the late Dr. Shahriar
00:07:32Adl, were commemorated. Also, Gholamali Haddad
00:07:35Adel, the head of the Academy of Persian Language and Literature,
00:07:39Mohammad Reza Khalatbari, was honored
00:07:53for his years of efforts. On the
00:07:55night
00:07:58that passed, everyone had come for Iran, a land
00:08:02that, in addition to its strong structures and enduring culture,
00:08:06can be known through the people who have worked for years
00:08:09for its name and lasting heritage.
00:08:12We have assets who are the guardians
00:08:16of this home, and without these assets,
00:08:19this home will not remain eternal. On the night
00:08:23that passed, everyone spoke of love and affection,
00:08:27of experiences, the manifestation of thought, and all the hardships
00:08:30they endured so that they could show us, future generations,
00:08:34that the story of this land is a narrative of love
00:08:38that resides in its body. Iran is a general
00:08:41concept. This is our home, this is our ancestral
00:08:45home, our maternal home. Everything we have is here.
00:08:48I don't know if I served or not.
00:08:52I don't know if I fulfilled my duty or not, but
00:08:55all my effort has been to do this. God willing,
00:08:59it has been done. The honors in this ceremony were only a small
00:09:03part of its philosophy. We should not forget our assets.
00:09:06Now that they are old
00:09:10or unable to work
00:09:13on excavations, they should not be
00:09:17isolated and forgotten. To prevent our assets
00:09:20from being forgotten, we reintroduce them to society.
00:09:24A new initiative this year was the honoring
00:09:28of the guardian of the Persian language, Dr. Haddad
00:09:31Adel. This was a new initiative because we believe
00:09:35that the Persian language is an Iranian heritage.
00:09:38Preserving this language is actually preserving
00:09:44our culture and safeguarding it is the duty of every Iranian.
00:09:47And
00:09:50in the fifth ceremony honoring the enduring figures
00:09:53of cultural heritage with the slogan "Iran,
00:09:57the Home of the Good", archaeology, field
00:10:01excavations, research, and Persian language and literature
00:10:04were honored and appreciated. Azad
00:10:29In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello and welcome to
00:10:33the Hormuz Battle program. In this part of the program,
00:10:36we specifically want to talk about the latest developments
00:10:39in Yemen, where many regional and international
00:10:43media are talking about the great achievements
00:10:47and victories of the Yemenis. Of course, the conflict
00:10:51in Taiz province continues. Last night, we also had
00:10:55Saudi Arabian airstrikes on Taiz province.
00:10:58In addition, some networks are talking about this very
00:11:02issue, that given the situation that the Yemenis and the Yemeni
00:11:06armed forces are in, the victory of the Yemenis
00:11:09is consolidated. We want to talk more about
00:11:12the developments in Yemen. Here in the studio, we are hosting
00:11:16Dr. Ghannad Bashi, an expert on West Asian
00:11:19issues. Dr., I greet you. Welcome.
00:11:23In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I greet you and
00:11:26the esteemed viewers. God willing, I greet you. We are at your service.
00:11:30Thank you. Dr., if you agree, let's talk about
00:11:34the importance of the victory of the Yemenis, where
00:11:37it seems that some regional
00:11:40and international media are still in shock
00:11:43about this great victory that the Yemenis have achieved.
00:11:47Yes, that's
00:11:49really the case. They had advertised
00:11:53Saudi Arabia's capabilities
00:11:55in the Yemen issue, which I saw some think that
00:11:58this Saudi withdrawal is a trick, a trap. Now, it's really
00:12:02not like that. The dimensions of this victory are really
00:12:05becoming clearer as time goes on.
00:12:08Look, it's not just a military
00:12:12victory, which is militarily very valuable, because
00:12:15the forces they had trained, the weapons they had provided
00:12:18to the mercenaries, the area they had chosen, everything
00:12:22was such that it was thought that they could move
00:12:25towards Sana'a, the pro-Saudi forces, the Saudi
00:12:28puppets. But suddenly and with
00:12:32a very strange speed,
00:12:35Ansarullah and the Yemeni armed forces
00:12:38were able to push them back. This itself is
00:12:42a very important military victory. Look, militarily,
00:12:46Saudi Arabia has bought the most weapons in the world.
00:12:49I mean, not now. In Trump's first term,
00:12:52before Mr. Biden, Mr. Trump came to power. He signed
00:12:55the largest economic and military contract
00:12:58in history. So, what is expected is that these
00:13:02weapons will work somewhere. Again, during this period,
00:13:06during this recent trip, Mr. Trump came, and
00:13:09I mean, yes, yes, we don't
00:13:13say yes. Well, Trump came,
00:13:16and what did they do with the weapons?
00:13:18All the prestige of their weapons is gone. Not only
00:13:22have they had the most advanced
00:13:25weapons at their disposal, but in addition,
00:13:29during this period, they also came and signed
00:13:32a tripartite security agreement.
00:13:35Yes, their advisors,
00:13:38their advisors receive
00:13:41the highest salaries from these people. Again,
00:13:44in this war, new advisors came to train. Well,
00:13:48their market will really stagnate. For the Americans,
00:13:52the stagnation of the market for these weapons itself,
00:13:55you see, creates an economic uproar that these weapons
00:13:58and training could not do anything.
00:14:01But in terms of the economic position of the Bab el-Mandeb
00:14:05Strait, everyone knows that the power is so high,
00:14:09meaning it is such that they overlook the heights
00:14:13in the south of Al-Maqa city that they
00:14:16can maintain it and completely control the strait from
00:14:20there even with ordinary weapons. So, this is also
00:14:23a very important issue. Previously, it was from Hodeidah
00:14:27province. Using ballistic missiles, given the distance
00:14:30they had. Now, a Yemeni analyst was pointing
00:14:34out that considering that the width of the Bab el-Mandeb
00:14:37Strait is approximately 37 kilometers,
00:14:40it's 20 kilometers from Mayun Island, meaning they are now
00:14:44controlling it visually. Yes, if someone wants to close
00:14:48a strait, it's very easy. A normal boat with 3 people
00:14:52can create a disturbance for a very large ship. Closing straits is very
00:14:55easy. If you assume this, but now they really have control
00:14:59and can monitor, especially since one of their successes,
00:15:03so to speak, is the seizure of surveillance
00:15:05equipment that they have obtained. This is another issue.
00:15:09Another very important issue is that Saudi Arabia's
00:15:13Yemenis were busy besieging Saudi Arabia. You know
00:15:17that at the beginning of this war, in the first two or three
00:15:21months, let's go back to this new round of war, which started
00:15:2411 years ago, meaning on March 26,
00:15:282015, Saudi Arabia attacked Yemen without reason,
00:15:31exactly when they were laying the foundation of a democracy
00:15:34for the people. There were national dialogues. They came and attacked.
00:15:39Well, now after these two months, the war has started.
00:15:42What was the war about? They came to tighten
00:15:46the siege on Yemen. Ansarullah came and implemented
00:15:49a strategy of siege against siege. Now, the power
00:15:52of the siege is such that Saudi Arabia's oil
00:15:56has been affected. This is a very big surprise.
00:15:59Saudi Arabia, which in these circumstances was helping
00:16:03the Western world, both in the presence of sanctions on Iran and everywhere else,
00:16:19Saudi oil, which is really very important
00:16:23in the energy market. This is after the targeting
00:16:26of the east-west pipeline that used to come to
00:16:30Yanbu port. A lot of focus and investment had been made
00:16:33on it, and it was something like 5 to 6 million barrels
00:16:52important Saudi Arabia has targeted Saudi military bases,
00:16:56many of which were, so to speak, warehouses for American
00:16:59aircraft and equipment. This is very important
00:17:03for a country whose 10 bases have been attacked. They created
00:17:07a crisis in Saudi Arabia. Why? Because there were miscalculations.
00:17:11Saudi Arabia did not think that Ansarullah would
00:17:14have such a force, such a power, that it could
00:17:17not only confront these issues, not only confront the siege,
00:17:21but also respond to what they do.
00:17:24And this is very important. Yes, Dr.,
00:17:27you talked about the importance of
00:17:31this victory, the great achievements
00:17:34that the Yemenis have achieved.
00:17:38I wanted to ask you about the impact
00:17:42of this great victory achieved by the Yemenis
00:17:46on regional equations. How does it affect
00:17:49regional equations, especially after the Americans
00:17:53and the Zionist regime entered the battle with Iran,
00:17:57and here they became desperate? Their focus was on
00:18:00other fronts, especially Yemen, where they also
00:18:04got into trouble. Yes. You see,
00:18:09our regional balance was based on American power,
00:18:12with America at its center, against the resistance
00:18:16front. All the countries whose origins were American
00:18:19and whose economies
00:18:21were dependent on America, all the oil dollars went
00:18:25back to America. Everyone was convinced that America
00:18:28was their supporter and that they could crush
00:18:32the resistance. Iran
00:18:36would be destroyed, its military power
00:18:39would be destroyed, and it would gain
00:18:43dominance and leadership with the backing of America.
00:18:47You see, their dream was this. The dream was that
00:18:50Saudi Arabia would enter the arena as the elder
00:18:54brother. Why? Because it covers the Lebanon front
00:18:57and the Syria front. All the actions they took in Syria
00:19:01were with their money and planning, and they can
00:19:03take control of a large area. All these equations,
00:19:06when Saudi Arabia is harmed
00:19:10in this way in these circumstances,
00:19:13and the Americans, the Americans who now have no base,
00:19:17and they have been invited to come, but they said
00:19:21they won't. Trump said he won't come. Why won't
00:19:24he come? Because Trump himself made the first ceasefire
00:19:27in American history with all the Yemenis.
00:19:30It was about a year ago that American ships were being
00:19:34hit, and Trump came and said that he would have a ceasefire.
00:19:37And this is a very important unilateral ceasefire. So,
00:19:41such an experience does not allow them to experience
00:19:44it again, and the Americans are no longer planning
00:19:48to get their soldiers killed. So, they prefer
00:19:51to involve others in this matter. Others don't dare,
00:19:55really, because on the one hand, they don't have the capability
00:19:59to confront Ansarullah and are vulnerable. On the other hand,
00:20:02internally, you see, if in any of the regional countries,
00:20:06like Pakistan, Turkey, anywhere, they want to cooperate
00:20:09with Saudi Arabia, their problem is public opinion,
00:20:13that you are cooperating with Israel. Why? Helping
00:20:17Saudi Arabia is a kind of cooperation with Israel,
00:20:20and this is very important. Because Saudi Arabia
00:20:23has been an ally of America in general. So, in my opinion,
00:20:26a deadlock has been created for these countries. So, what
00:20:30happens to the regional balance? Really, if we examine
00:20:34it militarily, there is nothing else there.
00:20:37Are the Americans there? No.
00:20:40Is Saudi Arabia there with its expensive
00:20:43equipment? That's not there either. Other countries
00:20:47are also not really capable. Now,
00:20:50with Iran as the center, a serious military balance
00:20:54and behind it a political power backed by the people,
00:20:57the support of the people. This is a very large
00:21:01part that helps, just as in the case of Iran.
00:21:04Really, they never predicted that the Iranian people
00:21:08would enter the matter. In their calculations,
00:21:11they have been in the streets and squares for nearly 20
00:21:14nights. It has also received widespread coverage in various
00:21:18media outlets, that it has
00:21:21been so long. This scene that is happening in Iraq
00:21:24under the leadership of religion can happen in Riyadh,
00:21:28in Mecca, in any of the countries. Now, its news
00:21:32is not being published. So, that scene
00:21:35is not an open door for them to move.
00:21:38So, the regional balance, if there is a balance,
00:21:42on this side, the balance is really zero.
00:21:45Really, what I'm saying is clear. You might see
00:21:49them take a foolish action
00:21:52regarding Yemen. In my opinion, if they do it,
00:21:56it's a pure mistake. You see, in the
00:21:59Iraq war, when the Americans came, they told Israel,
00:22:02"Be quiet. If you come, the people will rise up,
00:22:06and it will get worse." If Saudi Arabia openly cooperates
00:22:10now, in my opinion, many pilots who today were said
00:22:14to have flown might be Israelis. It's possible
00:22:17that it was said before
00:22:22that the pilots who were bombing Yemen were Israelis. But this becoming
00:22:26public means complete disgrace, meaning the Saudi
00:22:30structure will move towards further collapse.
00:22:33Look, Wahhabism is strongly anti-Jewish, and openly. They have an extremist
00:22:37religious base that openly acts against
00:22:40Jews. This is not something that if they do,
00:22:44it's the best thing. In my opinion, it means
00:22:48coming and revealing.
00:23:14Perhaps it's a question for many viewers about
00:23:18the courage and bravery of the Yemeni people,
00:23:22who even during the Gaza war, were saying
00:23:25that we are waiting for a war with America, meaning
00:23:28they didn't even consider the Zionist regime. They
00:23:32said the Zionist regime is not on our level.
00:23:35A question that many people might ask
00:23:39is where does this courage of the Yemeni
00:23:42people come from? You see, the Imam once said
00:23:45that don't call it Imam.
00:23:49The economic interests of the Western world,
00:23:53as it is said, fear human beings. This is
00:23:55very important. When a human being connects with spirituality,
00:23:59it's like a light bulb that has no meaning if
00:24:03it's not connected to the power plant. Just connect the light
00:24:06bulb to the power plant and it finds meaning.
00:24:10A human being without spirituality is like a light bulb
00:24:14without connection. As soon as spirituality finds
00:24:17meaning, it becomes Commander Soleimani, it becomes the people
00:24:21of Yemen, it becomes the people of Iran. It really becomes
00:24:24like that. So, they don't want such a view
00:24:27to emerge in the world. Look, the discussion of
00:24:31the Prophet's grandson on the plains of Karbala
00:24:35was all about perspective. Yazid's view of humanity
00:24:39was materialistic. The view that Hazrat said, "I will
00:24:42go and enjoin good and forbid evil." This spiritual
00:24:46view makes a person who becomes human, doesn't fear anyone.
00:25:00is not against the West. Let me tell you this,
00:25:03even that dagger is there, meaning
00:25:07being self-defeated becomes a pawn of the capitalist
00:25:11world. They want to turn us into a pawn, whether
00:25:15it's our architecture, our clothes, our language,
00:25:18anything. So, a human being
00:25:20in the true sense, as soon as he becomes human,
00:25:24has humanity here. The manifestation of humanity, whoever wants
00:25:27to see humanity, this is it. A human being who is
00:25:31connected to God is like a light bulb that turns
00:25:34on. As soon as it is disconnected, it becomes a mercenary
00:25:38who surrendered to the Sheikh of Kuwait
00:25:41and brought a song. Dr., we have less than two
00:25:45minutes. If you could talk about the future
00:25:48of the equations between Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
00:25:51Will this tripartite agreement that Saudi Arabia
00:25:55signed have any benefit for the Saudis if they
00:25:59continue on this path against the Yemeni people?
00:26:02The agreement with Turkey and Pakistan. Look, this
00:26:06action itself is a mockery. Let me tell you something.
00:26:09You see, they attacked Yemen at a time when the Yemenis
00:26:13started besieging them in return for the siege.
00:26:15They went and signed an agreement. This is a mockery,
00:26:19right? Look, for more than 40 years, we thought
00:26:22that the best defense for a country is a regional
00:26:26pact, the most effective, cheapest, most useful,
00:26:30and most up-to-date. This is what you need if
00:26:33you want to defend your borders, to have a regional pact.
00:26:36We thought about it for more than 40 years. Now,
00:26:40we are using the benefits of their victory, even
00:26:43though the Yemenis are independent. This pact will only be
00:26:46effective and beneficial when all regional
00:26:50players, such as the Islamic Republic of Iran, participate
00:26:53in it. If they are not in a regional pact,
00:26:57then it's like you see, military
00:27:00work requires
00:28:02many things have gone on. Just
00:28:05last Thursday, we were worried about the complexity of the Iran
00:28:09war sent on the Strait. Today, we're worried
00:28:12about Hormuz, Bab-el-Mandeb,
00:28:15overland oil pipes going through Saudi Arabia,
00:28:19renewed fighting in Yemen, attacks launched from Iraq
00:28:21against Saudi infrastructure, Saudi Arabia asking for
00:28:25Washington for military help, and the Houthis being turned
00:28:29down. Riyadh deciding how much to provide to Yemen
00:28:33and defending against renewed attacks. I could go on
00:28:36and on, but in the last 70 days, seven days,
00:28:40we've seen something that I'd like to term the speed
00:28:43of war, and it is phenomenal, and truthfully, it's because
00:28:47of what the Houthis are doing as part of the greater
00:28:50efforts of Iran in that region. If we're just worried
00:28:54about the Strait of Hormuz, we've got a lot more to
00:28:58worry about than just that as this war continues
00:29:01to expand. Countries booming, Iran will end right after,
00:29:05maybe before, but going to end right after the midterms.
00:29:08Gasoline is going to drop like a rock.
00:29:11General, what is the percent chance that any of that
00:29:14is going to happen? Zero. Antonio, I mean,
00:29:18I hate to say it, but it's 0%.
00:29:21We're dealing with economic asymmetric approach by
00:29:25Iran and now some of their allies, and we're seeing,
00:29:29as Bobby just said, a lot of the Middle Eastern
00:29:32allies are turning away because they don't, they
00:29:36can't depend on us anymore. So, when you're talking about
00:29:40So there is a very good chance that the president keeps painting a
00:29:43very positive picture of all this. The interesting thing
00:29:47about Iran is that they know they're able to affect the United
00:29:51States based on the upcoming election. They do not have
00:29:55the same problem, they can do what they want to do without fear of their
00:29:58people. The president does not have that same advantage." "
