00:00:30The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to baseless claims by
00:00:33American officials about Iran's defenselessness, emphasized
00:00:37that the true extent of American casualties would be disclosed
00:00:40at an opportune time. Mr. Araghchi, in a message on
00:00:44social media, citing information from the U.S.
00:00:48Department of War, noted that the reality is that hundreds
00:00:52of American bases and military installations have been destroyed, and tens
00:00:55of their aircraft have been set on
00:00:59fire. The head of the foreign policy apparatus, addressing
00:01:03the American ruling establishment, reminded them that this figure
00:01:06is merely a drop in the ocean, and with the disclosure
00:01:10of the actual number of American casualties at the
00:01:13right time, it will be a shock for those who
00:01:17falsely claim that Iran is defenseless.

00:01:24Israeli regime soldiers detained a Press TV
00:01:27reporter in the West
00:01:31Bank. According to Press TV's public relations, Ms. Nagha
00:01:34Hamed, along with a film crew, was traveling
00:01:38when Israeli soldiers stopped them at a checkpoint
00:01:42near a settlement southeast of Bethlehem.
00:01:45One of her colleagues told
00:01:49Press TV that Israeli forces, after searching the group, released
00:01:52Ms. Hamed and the camera operators.
00:01:56Nagha Hamed has previously been targeted by military
00:01:59action. In mid-August, Israeli soldiers, while covering
00:02:02news of the Zionist incursion
00:02:06into the Qalandia refugee camp in
00:02:09northern occupied Jerusalem, targeted reporters present at the scene,
00:02:13which resulted in the injury of this Press
00:02:16TV reporter.

00:02:21The Iraqi Prime Minister said that joint investigations with Iran
00:02:25regarding the attack on the Saudi oil pipeline are underway
00:02:28and that the results will be
00:02:31announced at the appropriate time. Ali al-Zaidi,
00:02:34referring to the formation of a joint commission between Iraq and the Islamic Republic of Iran,
00:02:38stated that he did not intend to prejudge
00:02:42the matter. Last Thursday, the east-west pipeline
00:02:45in Saudi Arabia was attacked by a drone. This attack,
00:02:49which, according to Saudi Arabia's claims, originated from Iraqi
00:02:52territory, caused the stoppage of oil flow in this
00:02:56pipeline.
00:03:00And that the food stamps of approximately 32 million more
00:03:04compatriots will be charged tomorrow. The Deputy Minister of Welfare
00:03:07of the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor, and Social Welfare said
00:03:10that heads of households whose last digit
00:03:13of their national ID is 3, 4, 5, and 6
00:03:17can spend their one-million-toman food stamps
00:03:20starting tomorrow. Food stamps, which, according to
00:03:24the government spokesman, will increase from mid-Mehr, at least for
00:03:27low-income groups.
00:03:30A portion of the current shopping basket of households, meat, and
00:03:34poultry, will be provided with food stamps.
00:03:38What do you usually buy with food stamps? Rice, oil, paste, legumes.
00:03:41A national plan that targets
00:03:4587 million compatriots.
00:03:54everyone's life. My purchasing power increases. Support that, with
00:03:58the budget, probably doesn't have it. After all,
00:04:30they also need to see its resources in the budget. There are preparations
00:04:33behind the scenes. What was the latest news you heard
00:04:37in the past three or four weeks about food stamps? The news
00:04:41has been contradictory. Some people were saying it was going to be cut, others
00:04:45were saying it was going to be increased. Yes, I heard. I heard they
00:04:48are going to increase the amount,
00:04:51but I am not exactly sure how much. The honorable Minister
00:04:55of Labor and his deputies raised
00:04:59the issue of its financial resources. It applies to certain
00:05:02segments. The Bank of the Planning Organization and the Ministry
00:05:06of Cooperatives held joint meetings at the Planning Organization to make a final
00:05:10decision. I would like to tell you that the President himself said that we have a program
00:05:12to
00:05:17generally increase the prices of goods, food stamps, and their cash value. We are constantly thinking about
00:05:20how to do this. Now, one day after these remarks
00:05:24by the President to retirees,
00:05:26the government spokesman once again came among reporters
00:05:30and announced the finalization of the increase in food stamp
00:05:34credit. We have no doubt that it will happen.
00:05:37We hope to do this, at least for our vulnerable
00:05:41groups, starting from mid-Mehr. Now we have to wait and see
00:05:45what number the food stamp credit increase will be
00:05:49finalized and started with. Mohsen Qarguzi,

00:07:49defeat in the Knesset elections become certain?
00:08:03Well, as you must have seen in the news,
00:08:06Mr. Araghchi, our country's Foreign Minister, will
00:08:10lead a diplomatic delegation on a visit
00:08:13to Beijing, the capital of China, tomorrow.
00:08:16Within the framework of this trip, he is scheduled to meet with Mr.
00:08:20Wang Yi, the Chinese Foreign Minister. Various
00:08:23issues will be discussed by both sides in these
00:08:27meetings, including bilateral relations and, of course,
00:08:30the situation of war and regional stability in the Persian Gulf, which has
00:08:34been inflamed after six months
00:08:37of joint aggression by the US and the Zionist
00:08:39regime against Iran. Various
00:08:42parties have expressed concern about this situation. One of
00:08:46the important points that has been raised in the media
00:08:49regarding Mr. Araghchi's visit to China is that this visit
00:08:53is taking place less than a week before
00:08:57the Chinese President's visit to the US and bilateral
00:09:00consultations between the Chinese and American presidents.
00:09:04This gives Mr. Araghchi's visit to Beijing
00:10:24Thank you very much. Well, what is currently
00:10:28expected in this trip is renewed
00:10:31interaction and dialogue between Iran and
00:10:34China. In fact, two economic partners
00:10:38in the region. After all, China is considered a strategic
00:10:41partner and, in fact, a strategic
00:10:44partner for the Islamic Republic of Iran.
00:10:47And so, this is a smart and targeted
00:10:51action by the foreign policy apparatus
00:10:55of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and in fact, with the foresight
00:10:58that has taken place at the highest
00:11:02levels of the system, this trip is happening.
00:11:05From this perspective, after all, both
00:11:08sides, based on their common interests,
00:11:12will hold discussions, especially as you mentioned,
00:11:16on the eve of China's
00:11:19visit to America. Well,
00:11:22after the 12-day war and the
00:11:25Ramadan War, the position of the Islamic
00:11:28Republic of Iran in the region and
00:11:31the position of our country in the international
00:11:34arena is very crucial for
00:11:37China in this regard, because after all,
00:11:40China is a buyer of our oil.
00:11:44And in various situations,
00:11:47we have witnessed positive and constructive
00:11:51stances from Chinese officials. Well,
00:11:55the latest of these, after all, was what
00:11:58happened in the Security Council and
00:12:01America's attempt to reimpose UN
00:12:05sanctions and Security Council sanctions
00:12:08based on Snapback on Iran.
00:12:11China opposed this issue and,
00:12:14in fact, announced that there is no consensus
00:12:17on Resolution 2231
00:12:21and that, in fact, Snapback
00:12:25in the current circumstances, after this period of
00:12:28time has passed,
00:12:31no longer has legal legitimacy
00:12:34and these sanctions are not applicable
00:12:38to the Islamic Republic of Iran. In
00:12:41various situations, China
00:12:45has always supported our peaceful
00:12:48nuclear energy and peaceful nuclear industry,
00:12:52unlike Western countries,
00:12:56led by the US, who have always tried
00:13:00to somehow sanction or
00:13:03prohibit our peaceful nuclear industry.
00:13:07And in negotiations, Trump has always
00:13:10sought the closure
00:13:13of our nuclear industry, but China
00:13:17has always supported this right that we
00:13:21have in the nuclear
00:13:24field, that our nation has in the nuclear field. Also,
00:13:27regarding sanctions, China has always
00:13:31opposed the US. You
00:13:35see that Mr. Richard Nephew,
00:13:39who is, after all, the architect
00:13:42of sanctions against Iran and who
00:13:46wrote the book "The Art of Sanctions,"
00:13:50states that after a period of time during
00:13:53which sanctions against Iran were ineffective,
00:13:57this is Mr. Nephew's confession. But he states that
00:14:00we must try to prevent China from buying
00:14:04oil from Iran and, in fact, to sanction
00:14:08Iran. Well, China also stood
00:14:11against this notion. Even when Trump, a while ago,
00:14:14announced that we have crushing sanctions
00:14:17against Iran and asked
00:14:21China to, in fact, stop
00:14:24Iran, China announced
00:14:27that we will support our companies
00:14:31in their interactions with the Islamic
00:14:34Republic of Iran and will not bow to
00:14:38these sanctions. This is China's
00:14:41role as a strategic partner,
00:14:44especially since we have, with China,
00:14:48according to the wisdom of the Supreme Leader
00:14:51and his principled policy,
00:14:55our martyred Imam, that 25-year
00:14:58agreement with China, and this agreement must be
00:15:02implemented. In this trip, Mr. Araghchi also emphasized
00:15:05this, and this is a win-win relationship
00:15:08between us and China, a dignified relationship,
00:15:12and this trip can also be interpreted
00:15:16in this context. The purpose of this trip
00:15:19is that we see that China and the US
00:15:23are, in fact, two rivals
00:15:27whose economies are neck and neck. Even
00:15:30China's economy in terms of
00:15:33production has surpassed the US economy. These two
00:15:37global powers are competing with each other,
00:15:41and one of the challenging issues
00:15:44of this rivalry between these two great powers
00:15:47is the Islamic Republic of Iran, which makes our position
00:15:51in these circumstances more
00:15:55serious from the perspective of both sides.
00:15:58And the Islamic Republic of Iran, as a regional
00:16:02and international actor, whose regional peace and stability
00:16:06depend on the policies
00:16:12various examples of support
00:16:15that China has shown throughout these past six months
00:16:19of war and aggression by the US and the Zionist regime against Iran.
00:16:23Well, one of these cases was China's veto
00:16:26against the joint resolution of Bahrain and the US
00:16:29regarding the Strait of Hormuz. While the US
00:16:32and Bahrain, in that draft resolution,
00:16:36had claimed that Iran should reopen the Strait
00:16:39of Hormuz in the American way,
00:16:42they opposed that resolution and vetoed
00:16:46it. While we know that the Chinese have many interests
00:16:50in the Persian Gulf and transport oil through normal transit
00:16:53in the Strait of Hormuz and are very dependent on it, despite
00:16:57having oil economically, they again opposed
00:17:06Well,
00:17:08after the Ramadan War and the closure
00:17:11of the Strait of Hormuz, which, by the way, reminds
00:17:15us of the martyr Tangsiri, who, with his courage,
00:17:19bravery, and sacrifice, stood firm and
00:17:22closed the Strait of
00:17:25Hormuz, and our dear Leader supported
00:17:28this issue and emphasized the continued
00:17:31closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Now,
00:17:35the Strait of Hormuz is a strategic
00:17:37tool, a component
00:17:41of power in the hands of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
00:17:45That is, the pulse of global
00:17:48energy lies in these two straits: the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait
00:17:51of Bab al-Mandab, where we saw
00:17:54Yemeni fighters stand with courage
00:17:58and bravery, and with empty hands.
00:18:01And now, today, oppressed Yemen
00:18:04is recognized as a superpower among Islamic
00:18:08countries. Now, Yemen's control over Bab al-Mandab, these two
00:18:12straits combined, accounts for one-third of the world's
00:18:16energy. And the closure
00:18:19of these two straits would undoubtedly
00:18:22be a major blow to the
00:18:25US economy, which is an economy
00:18:28dependent on oil. From this perspective,
00:18:32China's support for the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz
00:18:36can be interpreted in such a way
00:18:39that, in fact, against its rival,
00:18:43the US, the continued closure of this strait
00:18:46can establish China's superior hand.
00:18:49And that the US, in terms of energy
00:18:53and its economy, which is dependent on energy,
00:18:56will suffer a major blow. Even now,
00:18:59we see that despite the US seizing
00:19:02Venezuelan oil and
00:19:05how it steals the oil of a nation in this
00:19:09manner, it
00:19:12faces a serious challenge in its strategic oil
00:19:15reserves. And so, the price increase, the increase in the price
00:19:19of oil will have very
00:19:23devastating effects on the US economy
00:19:26and within the US, especially on the eve
00:19:30of the upcoming elections in the
00:19:33US. We see that the increase in the price
00:19:37of oil and gasoline will lead to
00:19:41internal dissatisfaction in the US, a blow
00:19:44to the US economy, and an internal crisis,
00:19:48all of which will further weaken the US.
00:19:52Well, this is desirable
00:19:54for China, which, after all, in a neck-and-neck
00:19:58competition with the US, wants to have the upper
00:20:01hand in the global economy and surpass
00:20:04the US. So, my understanding
00:20:07of your statement is that the Chinese have come
00:20:11to the conclusion that the issue of war with
00:20:15Iran is not limited to Iran, and if
00:20:18by any chance, although it is a hypothetical
00:20:22assumption, it is not impossible to say, if the Americans
00:20:25had won this war, its consequences would have been global
00:20:29and could have ultimately weakened China's position
00:20:33in the international arena as well. Yes, from this,
00:20:36we can conclude Iran's position as a global
00:20:40superpower that, after the Ramadan War,
00:20:43Iran's position in determining regional and global equations
00:20:47and international equations truly
00:20:51improved by several steps. And today,
00:20:54perhaps no decision at the level of global superpowers
00:21:04currents and narratives that have been heard in recent
00:21:07weeks in social media and at some
00:21:10levels of public opinion constantly emphasized
00:21:14the idea that perhaps the aggression and
00:21:17war against Iran in the past six months has had
00:21:21negative effects on Iran-China relations,
00:21:24and some have diminished its strategic aspect
00:21:28and even claimed that Iran should reconsider
00:21:32its relations with China and, in any
00:21:35case, with the East. What is our response to
00:21:38these claims?
00:21:41We have always had this challenge, a current
00:21:44that now, at the level of media and public
00:21:47opinion within our country,
00:21:51tries to popularize China-phobia and Russia-phobia.
00:21:54These narratives are propagated by the pro-Western
00:21:57current in the country to the global public
00:22:01opinion. They all,
00:22:05in fact, see their ideal
00:22:08utopia in relations with the US and
00:22:11peace and reconciliation with the US. And they have always
00:22:15said so. Even now, these days, we see
00:22:18some of these, after all, types of individuals
00:22:21from the pro-Western current very explicitly
00:22:25talk about compromise and surrender to the
00:22:28US and a referendum on these matters.
00:22:31And this has always, in fact, when they
00:22:35were in power, they all,
00:22:39in fact, saw their opportunities in the
00:22:42basket of relations with the US.
00:22:45Well, for example, during 8 years,
00:22:49the country was ruined by, after all, pursuing
00:22:52the JCPOA and relations
00:22:55with the US and relations with the US
00:22:58and the JCPOA, which we saw was nothing
00:23:02but a dream. And at that time, our martyred Imam
00:23:06repeatedly, in fact, emphasized
00:23:10and warned officials that
00:23:13if you dedicate all your efforts to
00:23:17relations with the West, you will definitely be
00:23:20a loser. And at that time, when you
00:23:23stand on your own feet and do not
00:23:26trust the West, that is when you
00:23:30advance and, in fact, succeed.
00:23:34Our martyred Imam's vision was towards the
00:23:37East because the truth is
00:23:41that our history, our not-so-distant history,
00:23:44has proven in various periods
00:23:47that relations with the West and trust in the
00:23:51West have brought nothing but humiliation,
00:23:54loss, and, in fact, a humanitarian
00:23:58catastrophe for the Iranian nation. Let's go back
00:24:02to after the First World War, when,
00:24:06in fact, that great famine occurred,
00:24:09resulting from the policy that the West
00:24:13had against Iran, against the Iranian nation.
00:24:16Or throughout various periods, let's review
00:24:20America's human rights record against the Iranian
00:24:23nation. Let's see what crimes the US
00:24:27and the West have committed against the Iranian
00:24:30nation. Therefore, even here, our martyred
00:24:34Imam says that the reason for not
00:24:37trusting the US is the experience we have from our
00:24:40not-so-distant history.
00:24:43Therefore, in this regard,
00:24:46looking to the East is one of the
00:24:50issues that should be considered. However, a certain current,
00:24:54the same pro-Western current in the country, constantly
00:24:57tries to declare relations between us and
00:25:01China to be strained or, in any case, to declare
00:25:05it a destructive relationship. Well, obviously,
00:25:08the experience we have had in this war
00:25:11and after the war shows the opposite,
00:25:15and the Chinese, in some strategic issues that
00:25:18I mentioned, the issue of supporting
00:25:22peaceful nuclear energy in Iran, the issue of
00:25:26not entering into sanctions that
00:25:29the US demanded from China regarding
00:25:32not buying oil from Iran, the
00:25:35issue of veto, after all, the issue
00:25:39of snapback in the Security Council, in many issues,
00:25:42in defensive cooperation, after all, the Chinese have had
00:25:46constructive
00:25:49relations during this period, and this is a win-win
00:25:53relationship for the Chinese. Their interests
00:25:57dictate relations with Iran regarding the supply
00:26:00of oil and energy, and we, in interaction with
00:26:04China, as a global superpower, can pursue
00:26:14should have with the East,
00:26:17and also that it has it. And on
00:26:21the other hand, you referred to the fundamental
00:26:24problems and important challenges that exist
00:26:28with the West, European and American troikas. I would also like to
00:26:32refer to a statement that was made by important
00:26:35and well-known figures this week.
00:26:39I want to ask you, Ms. Elahian, if we had
00:26:43resolved the nuclear issue with the Americans,
00:26:47if we had surrendered on the nuclear issue and
00:26:51handed over the nuclear issue without any preconditions
00:26:54or bargaining, would America's problem with
00:27:06we return to the statement of our martyred Imam,
00:27:10who said that America wants
00:27:13to devour the Iranian nation, to devour
00:27:16our country Iran. And this,
00:27:19in fact, indicates that our
00:27:22war with America is an existential
00:27:26war, meaning America wants nothing
00:27:29less than the destruction of the Iranian nation.
00:27:33This is an issue that, in fact,
00:27:36is not a secret. Trump has repeatedly
00:27:39tweeted about the destruction of our civilization
00:27:43and the threats he has made
00:27:46are of the kind that destroy the entire
00:27:50rich and historical Iranian
00:27:52civilization. Therefore,
00:27:55in fact, our issue with
00:27:59America is not merely the nuclear issue,
00:28:03although the nuclear issue, as a very crucial and important
00:28:06component, is considered a component
00:28:09of our power for them, and they are strongly
00:28:12pursuing the closure of the nuclear industry
00:28:16and the delivery of uranium and such matters.
00:28:18By the grace of God,
00:28:22the current Leader, Imam Khamenei,
00:28:26has, in fact, stood against this issue
00:28:29and, in fact, has set one
00:28:32of our system's major policies: that we are
00:28:36by no means willing to close the nuclear
00:28:39industry, which is a key industry for the country.
00:28:42However, the nuclear industry is one
00:28:46of the issues that America has focused on.
00:28:49If we, according to your statement, were to
00:28:52hand over our nuclear industry and our
00:28:55enriched uranium to criminal
00:28:58Trump, other issues would arise, such
00:29:02as the fact that during this time, they have
00:29:06not been lacking in mischief regarding human rights.
00:29:10I have had the privilege of serving two terms
00:29:13as the head of the Human Rights Committee
00:29:16of the Parliament. Truly, a human rights war
00:29:19is raging between us and the West
00:29:22and the US. With all its might,
00:29:25it tried to condemn the Islamic Republic of Iran
00:29:29from a human rights perspective in the international
00:29:32arena, in global forums, and in global
00:29:36public opinion. Of course,
00:29:39it can be said that the crimes that
00:29:42the US itself committed in
00:29:45Gaza, the killing of innocent women
00:29:49and children, revealed the anti-human rights
00:29:52face of the US to the world. So, now
00:29:56America's clamor about human rights holds no sway for us,
00:30:00because it is, in fact, a very
00:30:29The US's attempt to prevent Iran's membership in the General
00:30:32Committee of the International Atomic Energy Agency
00:30:35failed. In the course of this election, the US
00:30:39delegation, by departing from unconventional norms,
00:30:43tried to prevent Iran's election, but it
00:30:46failed. Today's conference
00:30:50dedicated part of its
00:30:53session to determining Condolences
00:30:57Conference Deputies.
