00:00:00no God. god but
00:00:20It is 11:30. Welcome to this news section.
00:00:2380% reduction in drowning victims in the sea. The head
00:00:27of the country's social affairs organization said on the sidelines of the Social Council
00:00:31that integrated management of the coasts is a strategic issue in which 19
00:00:34organizations are involved
00:00:36in its implementation.
00:00:40Fortunately, the number of drowned people
00:00:43on our coasts has seriously decreased. In some
00:00:46cases, it has even decreased by up to 80%, thanks to God. The number of
00:00:50drowned people on our coasts has decreased.
00:00:53Of course, in the past 10 years, during this
00:00:56summer that we have passed, only in two provinces.
00:01:20This is what Americans use for the Trump administration. The news website EMSNA
00:01:24reported. The results of the YouGov Economist poll show
00:01:27that 53% of voters
00:01:34also use the word "dangerous" to describe him.
00:01:37After these two words, the words "detached from
00:01:41society" with 47% and "ruthless" with
00:01:4546% are in the next ranks. EMS News
00:01:48also reported that Democrats have launched an investigation into
00:01:51the private wedding ceremony of
00:01:55the payment of its exorbitant
00:01:59costs by a foreign individual has sparked criticism about Trump and
00:02:02The UN
00:02:06special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied territories
00:02:10compared the killing of thousands of children in Gaza
00:02:13to the actions of the Nazis during the Holocaust.
00:02:16Francesca said about the killing of Gazan children by
00:02:20the Zionist regime on the pretext of them becoming terrorists in adulthood:
00:02:23This was the same argument that the Nazis
00:02:26used to justify the killing of children in
00:02:32The government media office in Gaza announced last month that the Zionist regime has
00:02:36martyred more than 21,500 children
00:02:39since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip in October
00:02:432023.
00:02:44Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a member
00:02:47of the political bureau of the Ansarullah movement in Yemen, warned other
00:02:50countries against cooperating with Saudi Arabia against Yemen.
00:02:54The member of the political bureau of the Ansarullah movement, stressing
00:02:57that Yemen is in a position to defend itself against the aggressor, said:
00:03:01Yemen has not attacked Pakistan or Turkey,
00:03:05and it was Saudi Arabia that, by attacking Yemen and sanctioning
00:03:08food and medicine for the people of this country, martyred hundreds of thousands
00:03:12of Yemenis. Thank you
00:03:16for joining us in this news section.
00:03:24I
00:03:40Ali
00:03:46the In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
00:03:49Hello and welcome to the "Narrative of Authority" program.
00:03:53In this part of the program, we will take a look at the latest news
00:03:56related to Iran in foreign media. I invite you
00:04:00to join us in the program. In the studio, we are hosting Dr.
00:04:04Ebrahim Shakouri, an expert and researcher in the international field. Dr.
00:04:07Shakouri, I greet you and welcome you. In the name of God, I also extend my greetings and respect
00:04:11to you and the honorable viewers, and I congratulate you on the birthday
00:04:15of Imam Hussein Askari (PBUH). May you live long, Dr. If you agree, let's start with Al Jazeera,
00:04:18where the "Jan Fadaian" exercise, which was held in Tehran,
00:04:22is still, in fact, several days after its occurrence,
00:04:26receiving media attention. Al Jazeera Qatar also, in an article,
00:04:30referred to this exercise and spoke about Iran's
00:04:34show of power in the midst of the war. Yes,
00:04:37this article that Al Jazeera referred to
00:04:40was the "Jan Fadaian" exercise on Friday, involving hundreds of thousands of people who registered
00:04:44from the heart of the country, and their number is more than that. It refers to
00:04:48the presence of armed women, the Shahed-136
00:04:51drone, and also anti-aircraft
00:04:54defense, and says that despite America's claims that
00:04:57it is under sanctions and siege and
00:05:00in isolation, Iran is now putting on a display of power that
00:05:04is in clear contradiction with the White House's narratives.
00:05:08Anyway, this Al Jazeera report is one
00:05:11of the good reports that since Friday, when this
00:05:15exercise began in Tehran, they have been analyzing the different
00:05:19aspects of this readiness, defensive capability, and the mobilization
00:05:23of the Iranian people, and putting it against
00:05:27the false media narratives of the White House. One point
00:05:31that is actually important is that a regional media
00:05:34outlet like Al Jazeera Qatar is addressing this issue, that the
00:05:38people are still present in the streets and
00:05:41gatherings during these six months, even after the 203rd night.
00:05:45One very important point is that
00:05:49in fact, many countries, especially Arab countries,
00:05:52are fundamentally unfamiliar with such a presence of their
00:05:56people. Yes, and this
00:06:00is despite the censorship of the past 47
00:06:03years, which is the popular support of the Islamic Republic of Iran. They tried to censor
00:06:06all the 22 Bahman rallies in these 47 years. In recent
00:06:10years, some media outlets in this region have come to cover it, because Iranian media
00:06:14in the external dimension, as well as media aligned with Iran, such as RT Russia,
00:06:18Al Mayadeen, and other more independent networks, have published
00:06:22it. The audience of those media outlets
00:06:25saw why their media censored it, and they were forced to refer to it reluctantly.
00:06:29But this admission of the popular support of the system
00:06:33and deterrent power in the current special situation, which is about 7
00:06:36months after the Trump war, is an admission of this domestic
00:06:40power and internal cohesion
00:06:42of Iran. The great achievements of the Yemeni armed forces
00:06:46have received attention from many media outlets around the world. Deutsche Welle
00:06:50also, in an article, referred to the Yemeni
00:06:54forces and capabilities and spoke about the "second Hezbollah
00:06:57of Iran" and the achievements that the Yemenis have made,
00:07:01and started its article with this analysis
00:07:04of how much power and capability
00:07:08the Yemenis have. Yes, Deutsche Welle, of course, wrote the article
00:07:11with an anti-Iranian tone and is somehow playing the mischievous game of "divide and
00:07:15conquer" to say, for example, that Ansarullah of Yemen's
00:07:19position has become more popular and stronger
00:07:22among Iranians than Hezbollah. It went forward with this rhetoric,
00:07:26but it is making good admissions. It says that the Yemenis were able to
00:07:29carry out actions such as upgrading their anti-aircraft
00:07:33missiles and shooting down Saudi F-15s, an action that perhaps
00:07:37did not happen in Lebanon. It also refers to
00:07:40the capabilities of the Yemenis in actually managing the
00:07:44Bab al-Mandeb Strait and the volume of
00:07:48energy and goods traffic that takes place from that region,
00:07:52and says that now these are Iran's superior hand after the Strait
00:07:55of Hormuz. The resistance axis controls two strategic
00:07:58straits in West Asia and increases its bargaining power in any
00:08:02meeting. Also, two thinkers,
00:08:06actually senior researchers from Chatham House, named Farea
00:08:09Al-Muslimi, say that Ansarullah is more valuable
00:08:13than what Hezbollah could have been. Andreas Krieg,
00:08:16a senior lecturer at King's College London's Department of War Studies,
00:08:20also says in this report that Ansarullah increasingly has strategic functions
00:08:24similar to Hezbollah for Iran, and is more useful in some respects. As I said,
00:08:27they try to highlight that English difference, but they have
00:08:31very interesting admissions that depict the strategic
00:08:35position of Ansarullah in the new regional situation. Another point
00:08:38that has received a lot of media attention was that, in fact, in the
00:08:42last couple of days, in addition to the Saudi oil pipeline
00:08:46being targeted by the Yemeni armed
00:08:50forces, the targeting of King Khalid Airport,
00:08:53the second largest airport in Saudi Arabia
00:08:56in Riyadh, received media attention. This shows
00:09:00the superior and long reach of the Yemenis deep
00:09:04into Saudi Arabia, but the Yemeni mujahideen have announced
00:09:08that they will retaliate from any origin whose territory is attacked.
00:09:11The airports you mentioned were among the places from which
00:09:15Saudi warplanes had repeatedly flown and
00:09:18targeted Yemeni facilities. Now they are retaliating, and
00:09:22the pipeline that news agencies like Reuters are now maneuvering
00:09:26over, saying that it will be repaired in a few weeks or months,
00:09:29is completely capable of being targeted again and
00:09:33more severely. Therefore, these 7 million barrels of oil that they claimed
00:09:36daily from this 1200-kilometer pipeline to the west
00:09:39of Saudi Arabia and also to the port are completely
00:09:43exposed to another incident. Another point that Saudi Arabia
00:09:47has actually informed, especially the Europeans,
00:09:50is that for at least the past two months, there will be no
00:09:54oil exports to European countries. Yes, and some large
00:09:58European refineries have held up to 10 tenders to secure their needed
00:10:02oil, oil whose price has stabilized above $100, and
00:10:05the Saudis have officially announced that they are unable to sell
00:10:09their product in the coming months. The Global Times, in an article,
00:10:13referred to China's stance against the US
00:10:16and said that China has complained about US
00:10:20sanctions against Russia and Iran and considered
00:10:23them to be against international laws. Yes, the information
00:10:27that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce released yesterday, Saturday, was reflected
00:10:31by the Global Times and refers to the new
00:10:34US sanctions law, which is actually a new plot.
00:10:37They came to apply Russia's sanctions to Iran's sanctions as a secondary
00:10:41measure and said that they would impose a 100% tariff on any country that
00:10:45deals with these two countries. But China has taken a firm
00:10:48stance and said that Washington has no right to
00:10:52put the countries that deal with these countries under the influence of sanctions
00:10:55because they are actually engaged with Washington.
00:10:59In May of this year, we also saw that the Chinese exempted the five petrochemical
00:11:03companies that worked with Iran from the scope of this US
00:11:06sanctions law. They confronted it, and this shows that
00:11:10the Americans' claim of isolation, sanctions, and siege
00:11:14has failed, and major countries like China and
00:11:17the China-Moscow-Tehran axis, in fact, Beijing-Moscow-Tehran, are confronting
00:11:21these US sanctions and this clear
00:11:25failure for US economic policies. The New York Times,
00:11:29in an article, stated that despite America's
00:11:32insistence and persistence, South Korea
00:11:36has refused to send troops to fight
00:11:39Iran. Yes, after Trump repeatedly raised on his
00:11:43fake social media that since we are now on the Korean
00:11:46Peninsula to defend South Korea against North Korean threats,
00:11:50we asked the South Korean president to provide us with
00:11:53military assistance in the Strait of Hormuz issue. However, South Korean
00:11:57leaders explicitly announced that we will not have any military intervention
00:12:01because they are afraid of this real and effective
00:12:05threat from Iran, which said that any party that has
00:12:08any military intervention in the region will be considered an aggressor
00:12:12and must bear the consequences. And South Korea is constantly
00:12:16emphasizing that we will not do such a thing. They even said that some of our ships that were in the Bab al-Mandab
00:12:19region and the Red Sea are there to protect South Korean
00:12:23cargo ships.
00:12:25They will not intervene in Trump's war. One point regarding the shortage
00:12:29of ammunition and weapons for the US in the region
00:12:33is that one of these countries was South
00:12:36Korea, which was forced to transfer its Patriot
00:12:40systems to the West Asian region during the war. Some analysts
00:12:43believe that if it directly enters
00:12:47the conflict, a great danger will threaten
00:12:51it. Yes, now the South Korean president is exactly
00:12:55stating that we will not intervene in Washington's
00:12:58military conflicts because they are afraid of the consequences, and as I mentioned, Iran
00:13:02is not joking in its threat. Any country that wants to help the US
00:13:06is actually helping the aggressor and its interests will
00:13:10be targeted. The Times, in an article, spoke about the consequences
00:13:14of the US war against Iran and about the skyrocketing
00:13:17energy prices, saying that
00:13:20costs no longer match incomes
00:13:24and costs are much higher than
00:13:27what American citizens can afford
00:13:31to pay for their energy bills with the incomes
00:13:34they earn. Yes, after the Trump
00:13:37war and the increase in fuel prices, especially gasoline and
00:13:40diesel in the West, especially in European countries, now the British
00:13:44government has proposed a support plan for businesses
00:13:47to reduce energy tariffs by three stages
00:13:51from the beginning of 2027, which is three months from now.
00:13:54However, businesses are complaining and saying that first, we cannot
00:13:58wait until then for you to give us a discount, and second, the trend of
00:14:02increasing fuel prices, especially diesel, is going in such a direction that even this
00:14:06reduction in tariffs that you are considering will not be helpful at all,
00:14:09and this shows that the energy crisis that Trump started in the West
00:14:13and Asia is now showing itself in the heart of the European
00:14:17economy, especially in England, and there is no bright
00:14:20outlook for it. A former Pentagon advisor
00:14:24had an interview and pointed out that Israel
00:14:28and the Zionist regime, without US support,
00:14:31have no power to confront their
00:14:34enemies. Let's watch this video together.
00:14:36Israel has no chance of
00:14:41survival, it has no
00:14:44chance of overpowering and dominating anybody. if you put that
00:14:47Israel, the greater Israel project up on the screen if you
00:14:51had map of that thing, the notion that any of that could be achieved by the israelis was...
00:14:55about us is absurd, the question that nobody wants
00:14:59to answer in Washington is, what interest do we have
00:15:02in the greater Israel project? the answer is none, no interest
00:15:06in that at all, that's crazy, but
00:15:09who controls the financial situation in New York City in
00:15:12Washington, controls it in London? well, you
00:15:15answer those questions and so only you see us committed to this crazy
00:15:19idea in the middle east on behalf of
00:15:21Israel.
00:15:27You are still watching "Narrative of Authority" on
00:15:30News Channel. The Japan Times also, in an article,
00:15:34referred to the lies of Trump, the US President,
00:15:37and said that contrary to the claims made by the US President,
00:15:41the supply of diesel has decreased after the war
00:15:44with Iran. Yes, Trump, on his
00:15:48fake social media network, once again wrote
00:15:52that the shortage of diesel and its price increase
00:15:55are due to the war between Russia and Ukraine. However, the Japan
00:15:58Times, in a report based on interviews with two researchers,
00:16:02emphasizes that the Trump war in the West Asian
00:16:06region and against Iran
00:16:21is the cause of Trump's war in the West Asian region. Rachel
00:16:25Ziemba, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American
00:16:28Security, also emphasizes that the new shortages are caused by Trump's war with Iran
00:16:32and have nothing to do with the Russia-Ukraine war. One point
00:16:36that is actually being talked about a lot in social media and the media
00:16:39is that many times the US president denies the entire
00:16:43crisis, but this time he has accepted it,
00:16:46but he has attributed its cause to Russia
00:16:50and the Ukraine war, the Russia-Ukraine war. Some
00:16:53citizens in the US are pointing out that basically
00:16:57a crisis is a crisis, and whatever its cause may be, it doesn't
00:17:01have much impact on American citizens. Yes, Trump and his Secretary of Defense,
00:17:05Mattis, tried to compare the war to "small potatoes,"
00:17:08saying it was nothing important, and that they would resolve it quickly. Now, citizens and
00:17:12users, in the comments they leave on Trump's
00:17:15fake social media network, are saying that this "small
00:17:19potato" has choked them, and they said they would resolve it in a week or two,
00:17:23but it has now dragged on for seven months.
00:17:26And this trend of downplaying
00:17:29the Iran war by pro-Trump media has failed.
00:17:33A more than 60% increase in diesel prices
00:17:36after the war with Iran itself is proof
00:17:40that the consequences of the Iran war and the instruments of
00:17:44power in Iran's hands have caused this
00:17:47to happen in the US. Yes, especially in some
00:17:50states like California, the price of diesel has gone above $10.
00:17:54They try to advertise the national price of $6-something
00:17:58and calm the market a bit, but a large state like
00:18:02California, with a population of about 40 million people, which is the technology
00:18:06and economic hub of the US, is showing its effect on the price
00:18:09of diesel, especially in terms of road traffic and agricultural
00:18:13machinery, which they themselves say will have a greater price effect
00:18:16on agricultural products and consumer products in stores in the coming
00:18:20weeks. Many media outlets are talking
00:18:24about this increase in fuel prices in the US and European
00:18:27countries. The Financial Times also, in an article,
00:18:30referred to the 5 consequences of the energy
00:18:34shock in global markets and said that if
00:18:38this trend continues and this crisis continues,
00:18:41in fact, the severity of the situation at the global
00:18:44level will also increase. Yes, this
00:18:48Financial Times report examines the economic aspect
00:18:52of the energy shock. It says that the energy market is not just
00:18:55related to the traditional view of oil prices. It has complex
00:18:59geopolitical issues of which oil
00:19:02prices are a part. Then it refers to
00:19:05the events that have happened. For example, it says that
00:19:13Hormuz used to be crossed, now it is not, and about 20 million
00:19:16is added to this figure daily because there is no
00:19:20special traffic. Then it says that the price of oil has reached $120
00:19:24and has stabilized above $100. Even yesterday, we had news
00:19:27that the price of physical and daily
00:19:31oil had reached $140 and was reflected in the media.
00:19:34Then it refers to the release of reserves in the US
00:19:38and says that this action has not had any result,
00:19:41despite efforts to release 2 million barrels of reserves daily.
00:19:45However, compared to the 20 million that used to pass through the Strait of Hormuz,
00:19:49it is 10% of that number and has had no effect on price reduction,
00:19:52and this is interpreted as a severe failure for the world energy
00:19:56market, which Trump claims he is managing. Al Jazeera
00:20:00Qatar, in an interesting article, referred to the
00:20:03upcoming elections in the US. Six weeks
00:20:06remain until the midterm elections
00:20:09in the US. Many media outlets are addressing this issue. Al Jazeera
00:20:13Qatar also, in an article, said how much the
00:20:17war with Iran affects the opinion and votes of
00:20:20voters in the US and said that
00:20:2371% of voters believe
00:20:27that Donald Trump's government has no clear strategy
00:20:31in the war with Iran. The most
00:20:34interesting part of this poll is that Thunder News
00:20:38network, which supports Trump and is a Republican
00:20:41media, conducted this poll and published the results. Yes, as
00:20:45you mentioned, 71% of the voters who will go to the polls
00:20:49for the midterm congressional elections on November 3rd, a month and a half from now,
00:20:53said that Trump has no clear strategy to end the war,
00:20:56and 60% considered Trump's decision to go to war
00:21:00with Iran to be wrong. 61% expressed
00:21:04dissatisfaction with Trump's performance, and 47%
00:21:07of voters believe that this conflict will face the US with dangers
00:21:11in the long run and will make it more unstable. Anyway,
00:21:14these upcoming elections and these polls are highlighting
00:21:17the "blue wave" term in the US,
00:21:20meaning that Democrats might win the elections by a significant
00:21:23margin. When the Fox News poll,
00:21:26which is so supportive of the US President, talks
00:21:30about more than 71%
00:21:33believing that Trump and his team
00:21:37have no clear strategy for war with Iran, some
00:21:40are speculating that perhaps around 90% of
00:21:43Americans hold this view, which Fox News
00:21:47has reduced to 70%. Yes. Anyway,
00:21:50polls, depending on the political leaning of the institution
00:21:54conducting them, usually undergo some distortions. Now,
00:21:57anyway, these results are being interpreted as
00:22:01Trump's domestic political defeat and a disintegration
00:22:04even among Republicans who supported him. The statistics
00:22:08and figures presented by the Trump administration
00:22:11regarding the war with Iran have received a lot of media attention.
00:22:15The same Al Jazeera Qatar network also, in an
00:22:18article, spoke about the number of American casualties
00:22:22in the war with Iran, and the number of casualties
00:22:25is still viewed with skepticism.
00:22:29Yes, this report actually came
00:22:32after the Pentagon released some economic and military statistics.
00:22:36Now, in the US, both Al Jazeera and the Washington Post,
00:22:40a senior reporter who specializes in analyzing US war statistics
00:22:43in West Asia, has been working on this issue since the Iraq War.
00:22:47This has been highlighted, that you say there were 22 casualties,
00:22:50while the number of casualties was actually
00:22:54said to be 18 people, some say 22, some say 23.
00:22:57He says he interviewed 5 senior officials, four of whom
00:23:01did not want their names revealed, and they give these numbers and say why
00:23:04they are now being questioned. Even two members of Congress,
00:23:07one of them Maggie Gondelander, said that
00:23:11we are preparing a plan to prevent this lack of
00:23:14transparency from the US Department of War, which manipulates
00:23:18the statistics, and the White House.
00:23:21Last week, we also had Thomas Massie calling for the impeachment of
00:23:25Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is also a Republican. This lack
00:23:29of trust in Pentagon statistics is now raising voices
00:23:33within the US system, and they believe that Trump
00:23:36is manipulating numbers and figures to downplay the situation,
00:23:40but the reality is something else. In addition to Al Jazeera Qatar, the Washington
00:23:44Post also, in an article, referred to this deception
00:23:47and manipulated and false statistics
00:23:50by the Pentagon. Yes, I mentioned
00:23:53that the Washington Post's analyst, who specializes
00:23:57in statistics, has highlighted these verbal and behavioral
00:24:00differences between Washington and, in fact, the White House
00:24:04and the Pentagon, and says that this lack of transparency
00:24:07is because you are afraid to give a transparent answer to public opinion
00:24:11about how many people were killed, but he says that the images
00:24:15and destruction of our bases in the West Asian region show
00:24:19that the number of casualties is more than what the Pentagon
00:24:22is admitting. The Telegraph also, in an interesting
00:24:26article, referred to Iran's power and authority
00:24:29and said that Iran has shown in the war
00:24:32with the US that it can expel the US from the West
00:24:35Asian region. Mr. Daniel DePetris, a researcher at the
00:24:39Washington Institute for Defense Priorities, wrote this
00:24:42article in the Telegraph, which is a comprehensive
00:24:45article that actually questions
00:24:48with this phrase that every official who takes the microphone
00:24:52says that the war is likely to end soon. Trump insists
00:24:56that he will end the war after the elections,
00:24:58but he says the reality is not what
00:25:02senior White House officials are saying. He says that
00:25:05this optimistic view that the Trump administration has adopted
00:25:08does not match these statistics, and the Trump
00:25:12war is not actually going according to plan,
00:25:15and from the first week, he says, it was like this that
00:25:19they were lying, downplaying it, but the reality on the ground shows something else.
00:25:22Then he refers to the US military policy in the past 30
00:25:26years in the West Asian region and that it claimed to have
00:25:30established military bases in the southern Persian Gulf littoral states
00:25:34to defend them, but now he says that Arab countries in
00:25:37Riyadh, Doha, Qatar, and other places are looking into the fact that the
00:25:41presence of US bases has actually increased their vulnerability
00:25:44and they are looking for safer options. And this US military
00:25:48strategy in the past 3 decades has been questioned, and Iran
00:25:52has shown that it can break the claimed hegemony
00:25:54of the White House in West Asia. One point regarding the expulsion
00:25:58of the US from the region is that Americans probably thought
00:26:02that they would be expelled from the region through negotiation or dialogue.
00:26:06Many analysts are addressing this issue, considering the heavy
00:26:10blows that Iran has inflicted on US bases in the region.
00:26:14Now, it is no longer cost-effective for Americans
00:26:17to want to rebuild these bases and basically
00:26:21stay there, and the host countries also know
00:26:25that it will not benefit them much. In fact, the Chief of Staff
00:26:28of the US Army said the same thing at a press conference last
00:26:32week. Especially in Bahrain, where there was a naval base,
00:26:36he said that almost nothing is left and it is not cost-effective to rebuild.
00:26:40The interesting point of this article, which I will mention at the end, is that it says
00:26:43that many articles will be written in the future about the rationality
00:26:46of launching Trump's war against Iran, which no one in the region
00:26:50except Israel supports. Very well, thank you very much, Mr. Dr. Ebrahim
00:26:54Shakouri, expert and researcher in the international
