00:00:32Hello, it's 1:00 PM. Thank you for continuing to watch the
00:00:36news channel. The representative of the Supreme Leader visited Ayatollah
00:00:40Al-Ozma Shabiri Zanjani, Hujjat
00:00:43al-Islam wal-Muslimin Mohammadi Araqi, head of the
00:00:46Supreme Leader's office in Qom, visited Ayatollah
00:00:49Shabiri Zanjani in the hospital and
00:00:53was informed of the latest medical procedures performed.
00:00:57Ayatollah Al-Ozma Shabiri Zanjani, one of the
00:01:00esteemed Marja's of Taqlid, was admitted to the ICU of
00:01:04one of the Qom hospitals on Friday evening due to a
00:01:07stomach hemorrhage and underwent treatment. According to
00:01:11the office of Ayatollah Shabiri Zanjani, his general condition
00:01:15is stable and the treatment process is progressing well,
00:01:18and there is
00:01:20no cause for concern.
00:01:24The Speaker of Parliament emphasized that until Iran's conditions
00:01:27are met, the Strait of Hormuz will not open.
00:01:30Mr. Qalibaf, in his pre-agenda speech,
00:01:33called the dichotomy of war or negotiation unrealistic and emphasized
00:01:37that one must both fight and negotiate. He said: Our
00:01:41logic in confronting the enemy is
00:01:44intelligent advancement and the imposition of the will of the
00:01:48Iranian nation. Today, in the field
00:01:52of diplomacy, our positions are completely
00:01:55clear, rational, and non-negotiable.
00:01:58The message has been conveyed and our conditions
00:02:01have been clarified to the other side through mediators.
00:02:05The enemy knows well that the path
00:02:08of deception and one-sided imposition is closed, and
00:02:12until these conditions are met and
00:02:16the legitimate rights of the Iranian nation are not
00:02:19recognized and
00:02:21the commitments of the Americans are not
00:02:25fulfilled, there will be no opportunity
00:02:28to return to the previous conditions of negotiation
00:02:32and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
00:02:35The Speaker of Parliament also referred to
00:02:39the coincidence of the new academic year with the Sacred Defense Week and said:
00:02:43The classroom is a new stronghold of Sacred Defense
00:02:47and one of the pillars of national deterrence.
00:02:51The meaningful congruence of these
00:02:54days with the first of Mehr and the reopening of schools
00:02:58carries a strategic message
00:03:00within it. The classroom is a
00:03:04new stronghold of Sacred Defense and one of
00:03:07the pillars of national deterrence.
00:03:10The presence of Iranian students in the strongholds of education
00:03:14and training keeps the flag of the nation's
00:03:17steadfastness raised. We will not allow
00:03:20the enemy's illusions to slow down
00:03:23the pulse of life, production,
00:03:26and knowledge of this land, because the unstoppable
00:03:30dynamism of schools is a symbol
00:03:33of the failure of the enemy's strategy
00:03:36to portray a state of suspension.
00:03:4046 key programs of the Martyr
00:03:43Foundation in the form of cultural and artistic programs during the
00:03:47Sacred Defense period. The Deputy of Cultural
00:03:50and Educational Affairs of the Martyr Foundation and Veterans Affairs announced this
00:03:53news, reporting the cleaning of more than 20,000 martyrs' graves
00:03:57and meetings with the families of the esteemed martyrs and
00:04:03Sacred Defense veterans across the country.
00:04:06The national program
00:04:09of scattering flowers on the graves of martyrs will begin from the holy shrines of Imam
00:04:13Reza and our martyred leader. We have
00:04:16a national campaign in various fields,
00:04:20including sports programs, tourism,
00:04:22pilgrimage, and we will have
00:04:26inaugurations. Artistic programs in various
00:04:30sections, documentaries, short films,
00:04:33and feature films have actually
00:04:36been planned.
00:04:39Foreign currency investment
00:04:42funds are a tool to strengthen the value of the national currency. The Deputy Minister of Economic
00:04:46Affairs and Finance, referring to the fact that foreign currency
00:04:49investment funds, in addition to preserving the foreign currency
00:04:53savings of natural and legal persons, will also provide foreign currency
00:04:57resources for some domestic production companies, said: In
00:05:00this way, the foreign currency assets of individuals are protected
00:05:04in order to strengthen national production.
00:05:06First, for our
00:05:09investments, instead of putting pressure on the foreign
00:05:13exchange market, we have used untouched foreign exchange
00:05:16resources. Secondly, we have used
00:05:20these untouched foreign exchange resources to strengthen the flow of production
00:05:23and investment in the country. Strengthening the flow of
00:05:27investment means increasing production, which means increasing employment, and
00:05:31all of these mean strengthening the national
00:05:32currency.
00:05:35The seventh Caspian Environmental meeting with the presence of environment
00:05:39ministers from the littoral states of this lake began today
00:05:42in Tehran and continues until the first of Mehr. The seventh meeting,
00:05:46after several years of hiatus and with Iran's follow-up, will be held,
00:05:49and during this period, a regional
00:05:53action plan for controlling and adapting to the challenges of the Caspian Sea
00:05:56is expected to be
00:05:57approved.
00:06:00Generations have built memories with its
00:06:03roads, forests, and coasts. It's
00:06:06Iranian, it's the Caspian Sea, it's the
00:06:09north. But what is memorable for travelers is
00:06:13life and livelihood for many people
00:06:16here. I am both a fisherman and a diver.
00:06:19All our bread comes from this. The world's largest
00:06:22lake is now grappling with several serious challenges.
00:06:25From pollution, untreated wastewater
00:06:29that has been discharged into the sea for years, to the decrease in water
00:06:33levels and coastline retreat. The annual average
00:06:36decrease in the Caspian Sea level
00:06:39has reached about 20 centimeters. The role of human activities
00:06:43might be around 15 to 20 percent, and 70 to
00:06:4780 percent is due to climate change and increased
00:06:51evaporation. In addition to climate change,
00:06:54human activities in the five littoral states of the Caspian Sea
00:06:58have put the biodiversity of the lake at greater
00:07:01risk than ever before. The Caspian seal has experienced
00:07:04a population decrease of about 60 to 70
00:07:08percent in the last 30 years. Sturgeon fish perhaps.
00:07:17But the challenges of the Caspian Sea know no borders, and solving them
00:07:21requires the joint cooperation of the littoral states of this sea.
00:07:25We need shared data, scientific
00:07:28studies, coordinated monitoring, information
00:07:31exchange, and finally, joint decisions.
00:07:34Now, after several years of hiatus and with Iran's follow-up,
00:07:38the Caspian Sea Environmental Convention is going to be
00:07:42held in Tehran. Since the beginning of
00:07:45the new government's establishment, one of the important issues
00:07:49in our environmental diplomacy was reaching the point
00:07:53of reconvening the Conference of Parties. In the
00:07:56seventh meeting of the Caspian Environmental Convention, a regional
00:08:00action plan will be presented. From 2026
00:08:03to 2030, a comprehensive framework for
00:08:06strengthening regional cooperation, as well as
00:08:09enhancing knowledge and developing solutions for
00:08:19the Caspian Sea is not just a shared body of water; the lives of millions of people in these five countries are tied to its
00:08:23survival, looking to this sea and this
00:08:26coast. Saeed Hajizadeh, IRIB News Agency.
00:08:29Continuing the news,
00:08:31the support of the people
00:08:34of Al-Mukha in Yemen for the people of Palestine. A large number
00:08:37of people from Al-Mukha participated in a widespread demonstration,
00:08:41expressing support for the oppressed people of Palestine
00:08:45and condemning the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza.
00:08:47The UN Special Rapporteur
00:08:51on human rights in the occupied territories compared the killing of thousands of
00:08:55children in Gaza to the actions of the Nazis
00:08:58during the Holocaust. Francesca Albanese, regarding
00:09:02the killing of children in Gaza by the Zionist
00:09:05regime and the excuse of becoming a terrorist in adulthood, said: This
00:09:09was the same argument that the Nazis used to justify
00:09:13the killing of children during the Holocaust.
00:09:16The governmental information office in Gaza announced
00:09:19last month that since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip
00:09:22in October 2023, the Zionist regime
00:09:26has martyred more than
00:09:29215 children.
00:09:30And
00:09:34Zionist regime fighter jets targeted various areas of southern Lebanon
00:09:37with airstrikes. According to news sources,
00:09:41the town of Kfartibnit in southern
00:09:44Lebanon was targeted by an airstrike. At the same time,
00:09:48Zionist regime fighter jets bombed the town of Nabati
00:09:51Al-Fawqa three times. Lebanese media
00:09:54also reported an airstrike by the Zionist regime in the Wadi
00:09:57Salouqi region in southern Lebanon.
00:10:00Yesterday, the Zionist regime's army, in continuation
00:10:03of repeated violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon, targeted areas including the town
00:10:07of Kfartibnit, the town of Al-Mansouri, the city
00:10:11of Nabatieh, and the town of Nabatieh Al-Fawqa
00:10:14in southern Lebanon.
00:10:16Thank you
00:10:19very much for joining us. Have a good day.
00:10:21Goodbye.
00:10:44In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello to you, welcome to the special
00:10:48program "Battle of Hormuz." In this part of the program, we will take a look at
00:10:51the latest developments related to the war, and of course, we will
00:10:55examine the situation of the Strait of Hormuz. We will also
00:10:59talk about resilience in the economic war that the Americans have waged
00:11:02against the Iranian nation. Here in our studio, we have
00:11:05Dr. Hajibabaei, the esteemed Deputy Speaker of the Islamic Consultative
00:11:09Assembly. Dr., I greet you, welcome. In the
00:11:12name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most
00:11:15Merciful.
00:11:17First,
00:11:20I congratulate the Sacred Defense Week
00:11:23to all the great nation
00:11:25of Iran and the esteemed families of the martyrs.
00:11:29I also congratulate the birth of Imam
00:11:32Askari to the Iranian nation,
00:11:36as well as the reopening of schools and universities,
00:11:40which is considered the spring of education and
00:11:43training, and God willing, it will create a vibrant
00:11:46and lively atmosphere in the country. I would like to thank all dear educators,
00:11:50teachers, university professors, students,
00:11:52and seminaries.
00:11:58Thank you very much, Dr. If you agree, let's start the discussion
00:12:02with the topic of reopening schools. Considering that
00:12:05we are in a state of war, what role can schools play?
00:12:09Look,
00:12:12the opening of schools is a symbol
00:12:14of life, a symbol of security,
00:12:18a symbol of knowledge, education, and training,
00:12:22and consciousness, and the
00:12:26joy of life. Honestly, when schools and universities
00:12:29reopen, one feels that a new
00:12:32life has begun. Of course, all security
00:12:36measures must be taken, which the officials
00:12:39are certainly doing, and the Ministry of
00:12:42Education and the Ministry of Science are making
00:12:45great efforts to provide a very good year for
00:12:49students, for which I would like to thank
00:12:53and appreciate the efforts being made.
00:12:56If war is to be defined,
00:12:59if peace is to be defined, if the country
00:13:03is to be defined, the first priority is
00:13:06at the university and school.
00:13:09That's where we need to explain the realities
00:13:13of life, the realities of the country, and the realities
00:13:17of what is happening there to students and
00:13:21families. It creates an international
00:13:25authority. A country that is at
00:13:28war, the school and university are
00:13:31symbols of life and symbols of
00:13:34society.
00:13:36In fact, they should be present, and the education system
00:13:39should have its own form. God willing, Dr.
00:13:43If you agree, let's start with the situation of the
00:13:47Strait of Hormuz, where many Western media, especially
00:13:50American media, in addition to American officials, are making
00:13:54claims about the openness of the Strait
00:13:58of Hormuz, which many media and
00:14:01media activists deny. The data being published
00:14:05by reputable sites shows that the
00:14:08Strait of Hormuz is closed. Basically,
00:14:12let's have an update on the latest situation
00:14:15of the Strait of Hormuz and what goals the enemy
00:14:19is pursuing with this psychological warfare regarding the Strait
00:14:22of Hormuz. You see,
00:14:25Hormuz today is a symbol
00:14:28of power, initiative, and the victory of the Iranian
00:14:32nation, and on the other hand, it is a symbol
00:14:35of the defeat, retreat,
00:14:39and weakness of the American
00:14:42armed forces, who could not
00:14:45actually fulfill their claim that they would not
00:14:49allow the Strait of Hormuz to be closed, and they
00:14:53were actually forced to agree. Those who
00:14:57came to overthrow saw that they could not
00:15:00overthrow, so they entered another scene. They came
00:15:04and made an agreement, and then they broke
00:15:07the agreement. These are the stages that we know
00:15:10from America. In fact, the American system
00:15:14is based on news and, in fact, virtual
00:15:17space and lies and advertising tricks.
00:15:21That's clear, but what I want to say here
00:15:25is that the Strait of Hormuz actually
00:15:29has what kind of use for us? It's not an economic
00:15:31use. It's a strategic use. It is this
00:15:35Strait of Hormuz that gives the Iranian
00:15:39nation this security, this initiative, not
00:15:42to allow our enemy,
00:15:45America, to pressure our nation. The essence
00:15:48of this Strait of Hormuz is that we do not allow
00:15:52them to bully us. We do not allow them to cut off our oil.
00:15:56We do not allow them to sanction us. We do not allow
00:15:59them to affect the livelihood of the people and target
00:16:03the livelihood of the people. On the other hand,
00:16:06America uses all its power to ensure
00:16:09that the Strait of Hormuz is not in our
00:16:12control. If it is, it should
00:16:16be weakened as much as possible. If
00:16:19I remember correctly, about a month and a half ago, in this
00:16:23very program or a discussion program, I said that for
00:16:26the first time, we must besiege America's economic
00:16:29blockade. That is, the Strait of Hormuz is
00:16:32currently in our control. We are protecting it with
00:16:36all our might. But America also uses its
00:16:40it has, after all, it's technology. It
00:16:42can use technology, for example, to secretly pass a
00:16:46ship in any way or use guidance.
00:16:50After all, it might exist. This is one
00:16:53type of action to reduce the importance
00:16:57of the Strait of Hormuz. It means to reduce
00:17:00the pressure, the pressure factor of the Islamic Republic.
00:17:03The next point is the use of
00:17:06the capabilities of the regional countries.
00:17:09That is, they should use alternative
00:17:13routes to the Strait of Hormuz. Instead
00:17:16of oil and gas passing through the Strait of Hormuz
00:17:20by ships, a transit line has been built in
00:17:23a certain country to bypass the Strait of Hormuz,
00:17:27which has, incidentally, been targeted. Yes, why is this
00:17:31happening? So, you see, America has used
00:17:34all its power to make the Strait of Hormuz unimportant
00:17:38if it cannot free it. We have
00:17:41used all our power to maintain the Strait
00:17:45of Hormuz and keep it strong and important.
00:17:49The main conflict is here.
00:17:52He does everything to make it insignificant. Now that he cannot
00:17:56attack, he said we will launch a military attack and liberate it. He
00:17:59is trying to create a consensus in the world to attack
00:18:03and liberate it, but he couldn't. Then they said
00:18:06that if possible, they would capture
00:18:09the three islands. One of their supporters said that and remained silent, seeing that
00:18:12it's not a place to enter. So now they are using
00:18:16virtual space for advertising companies, from your presence,
00:18:19they are using the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz,
00:18:23from techniques and behavior and guidance and various
00:18:26issues, and actually making ships invisible
00:18:30and turning off I don't know, the alarm, whatever
00:18:34it is, to somehow reduce its importance to zero.
00:18:37Whatever the armed forces say is true. They can actually
00:18:41bypass the northern part of the Strait of Hormuz. The next point
00:18:45is to use countries and define
00:18:48routes that can bypass it. The third point
00:18:52is ship-to-ship transfers, meaning they see ships differently
00:18:55with different flags. This ship unloads into that
00:18:59ship, and that ship delivers oil to that other ship
00:19:02to bypass the Strait. All of this is being done
00:19:06to, in their imagination, make part of the Strait
00:19:09of Hormuz insignificant or reduce its
00:19:12impact. That is why today the Strait
00:19:15of Hormuz is a symbol of our power,
00:19:18and the war is completely about energy. That is, what
00:19:22can actually force America to retreat,
00:19:25force Europe to retreat, is energy.
00:19:28Energy whose price must increase rapidly.
00:19:32Its exports from the Sea of Oman and the Persian
00:19:35Gulf and within this area should be limited
00:19:39and blockaded. America's blockade must
00:19:43be completely ineffective, because America's blockade has two effects: one
00:19:47is that we cannot export oil, we cannot import
00:19:50spare parts, and it puts pressure on us. On the other hand, it allows
00:19:54others to easily pass, pass secretly, guide
00:19:58them, support them, do ship-to-ship transfers,
00:20:02implement routes, all these things are done by
00:20:05them. Well, now to do this, we must
00:20:09actually blockade these routes. Yes, Yemen is doing
00:20:13that. It is an independent country. It is doing it.
00:20:16That is, it is hitting the bullseye. That is,
00:20:20Yemen is doing something that, based on this
00:20:23action, will besiege America's blockade. That is,
00:20:27it is attacking a country that, with all its power
00:20:30and might, is helping America to bypass
00:20:34the Strait of Hormuz. It is helping a country
00:20:38that can reduce the influence of the Islamic Republic
00:20:42and make the Islamic Republic passive. So, in summary,
00:20:46any activity that actually
00:20:49diminishes the importance of the Strait of Hormuz or
00:20:53bypasses it is a war against
00:20:55the Islamic Republic, and this is helping America.
00:20:59And these are actually the goals of the Islamic Republic
00:21:03and the goals of the resistance and the goals of the nations.
00:21:07They must be fought against. If the regional countries
00:21:11also genuinely have good intentions towards the region
00:21:15and want to see the region without America
00:21:19and without war and with security, the solution
00:21:22is not to help America. All
00:21:25this damage to themselves. We are now seeing
00:21:29that the regional countries are suffering from a lack of
00:21:32security and political and economic identity.
00:21:35In terms of security, it's unclear who should protect them.
00:21:38Politically, it means they no longer know who
00:21:42their support is. They are not dependent on their own people.
00:21:46Now they must either be dependent on America or on the resistance.
00:22:10And they should decide as soon as possible that the Strait of Hormuz
00:22:14has become a symbol of power, a symbol
00:22:17of our pressure on our dear people.
00:22:20Without
00:22:23America, even now, it is thinking and
00:22:26one of its latest plans is to create discord
00:22:30among the people and widespread unrest
00:22:33through economic blockade, by making the Strait of Hormuz less important
00:22:37and imposing heavy economic pressures within the country.
00:22:41It is pursuing this. This is where the
00:22:44presence of the people, the resilience of the people,
00:22:48the power of the people, despite all
00:22:52the disarray, or lack of attention, or
00:22:55sometimes issues that completely bother the people,
00:22:59exists. The people have fully understood this. The movement
00:23:03of hundreds of thousands of martyrs' devotees in Tehran
00:23:06was a symbol of power that would fill this void.
00:23:10That is, America was looking for a plan because
00:23:14it thought it could create discord in our streets,
00:23:17and replace the martyrs' devotees with those who it
00:23:24thought, with an initial presence in
00:23:28Tehran, the people's presence was so vast
00:23:31and widespread and had such an impact on the
00:23:35world that he understood that if this happened
00:23:38in the country, 30 million people would show up.
00:23:42Their presence is not like ours, officials,
00:23:46who need special consideration or to be addressed.
00:23:50They speak rationally, they speak as Muslims,
00:23:53they speak powerfully, and all our officials
00:23:57are completely alert and understand that the
00:24:00last word belongs to the Leader and these people. So,
00:24:04therefore, we must align ourselves with the people,
00:24:07align ourselves with the Leader, with complete rationality.
00:24:11The public conscience of our society shows us this today.
00:24:15One point that is raised and widely discussed
00:24:19is the issue of resilience, which in the psychological
00:24:22warfare waged against the Iranian nation, is more
00:24:26about the psychological operation that the enemy
00:24:30is pursuing than the actual impact of these sanctions
00:24:33and economic war. After all, over these 47
00:24:37years, many oppressive sanctions have been imposed
00:24:40against the Iranian nation, but this time, a naval
00:24:44blockade has also been added, and there is a lot of media discussion
00:24:48about this issue, while there is no mention
00:24:51of our economic leverage against the enemy society.
00:24:55Regarding the price of fuel and gas, even American
00:24:59media are now pointing out that it has increased by
00:25:0260% since the beginning of the war in America.
00:25:06Please tell us about this psychological operation as well. Look,
00:25:10the most important element that can
00:25:13be effective in a conflict
00:25:17between two or more countries, or in
00:25:21a global or international war, is the type
00:25:24of information dissemination. Information dissemination
00:25:27is what the Quran refers to as "murjif."
00:25:31Murjif means stressful news,
00:25:34false news, polluted news, any news that can
00:25:38create public anxiety or weaken a nation. This
00:25:42is called "irjaf" (spreading false news) in the news.
00:25:45So America is using this with all its might.
00:25:49For example, this glass is in front of me.
00:25:51Everyone sees it and says it's not there.
00:25:55It doesn't matter to them whether you say it's lying or not.
00:25:58They think that if you say this, there are also some people inside
00:26:13the country. We were able to break America's international consensus.
00:26:16Whatever it did, it couldn't create a consensus to attack
00:26:20Iran. This, in fact, includes bilateral
00:26:24and trilateral agreements, and these are just words.
00:26:27We saw that none of them can be operationalized.
00:26:31There is a man of war.
00:26:33A hundred thousand. That is, the group living
00:26:37in Yemen doesn't even think about what America is saying,
00:26:41how many planes it has, how many agreements have been signed.
00:26:45They don't pay attention to any of these. Therefore, we must be
00:26:48careful inside the country about news fabrication
00:26:51and the kind of news that comes into the country. We must
00:26:55preserve the unity of the nation around the axis
00:26:58of Velayat (Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist) and enmity with America.
00:27:01God willing, success will be ours. Thank you very much, Mr. Dr.
00:27:04Hajibabaei, esteemed Deputy Speaker of the Islamic Consultative
