00:00:00Changing the regime in Iran. The only story mentioned
00:00:03now. How they open the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait
00:00:06of Hormuz, which was open, and whether you open it or not.
00:00:09Okay, we'll prevent you or not. The siege and so on.
00:00:13The enemies
00:00:22are all taking
00:00:25us.
00:00:27This
00:01:14is in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O Allah, bless Muhammad and
00:01:18the family of Muhammad and hasten their relief. Ladies and gentlemen,
00:01:22the honorable people of Iran, greetings. Good evening. It is
00:01:257:00 PM. Welcome to this news section.
00:01:29The meeting of the heads of the three branches of government was held at the invitation of the President.
00:01:32In this meeting, the latest situation and current
00:01:36developments of the country and regional and international
00:01:39issues were discussed and reviewed.
00:01:42The President
00:01:45said in the ceremony commemorating the National Children's Week
00:01:49that with unity, no enemy can defeat
00:01:53the Iranian nation. Mr. Pezeshkian called
00:01:56national unity and internal cohesion the
00:02:00main factor of the strength and steadfastness of the Iranian nation and stated:
00:02:03The Iranian nation is powerful when
00:02:07it has unity and cooperation with each other. In this case,
00:02:11the enemy will never dare to
00:02:14harm us. The President
00:02:17considered the existence of empathy and mutual assistance in all pillars
00:02:21of society as an essential element and said:
00:02:24If we all unite to serve society, family
00:02:28and neighborhood, no factor can create
00:02:32problems for us.
00:02:32Warning
00:02:38from the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council to American
00:02:41leaders in case of a renewed attack on Iran:
00:02:45Your valuable assets, including data centers and
00:02:49artificial intelligence facilities, will be destroyed.
00:02:51We are ready if war breaks
00:02:55out again.
00:02:57We will bring new capabilities to the scene.
00:03:01In our region, in fact, the pulse
00:03:05of the American economy
00:03:08is being hit. From the beginning, we did not do anything
00:03:11to reveal all our capabilities in the first week,
00:03:14so that our hands are empty later. Therefore,
00:03:18today, if there is a conflict,
00:03:21we will face the enemy with a
00:03:24much broader plan.
00:03:27Major General Mohsen Rezaei
00:03:34also said that powers greater than
00:03:38America tried to conquer Iran, but their fate ended
00:03:41in the dustbin of history. The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council,
00:03:44in an interview with Press TV, reacted to
00:03:48the rude statements of American leaders about the history and civilization of the Iranian
00:03:51nation. We are dealing
00:03:55with a group of
00:03:58ignorant
00:04:01and stupid people in America
00:04:04who have neither read
00:04:07history nor know the Iranian nation. You will
00:04:11once again be forced to kneel
00:04:14before the Iranian nation and multiply the greatness of the Iranian nation
00:04:18several times over. For example, recently Trump said,
00:04:22"I don't know who I should talk to in Iran." It is clear that you
00:04:25should talk to the Iranian people.
00:04:28The Iranian people, whom you say you want to destroy,
00:04:31you want to eliminate the Iranian civilization.
00:04:34You are mobilizing the Iranian people more against
00:04:37yourselves. You speak rudely to the Iranian
00:04:41people. The Iranian people will be more determined
00:04:44to sink you deeper into the quagmire.
00:04:48Therefore, the end of the war
00:04:52is in the hands of the Iranian nation.
00:04:55Major General Mohsen Rezaei also reported on the latest trend of
00:04:58negotiations. He said: Iran has not abandoned diplomacy,
00:05:02and it is America that must accept Iran's seven conditions without
00:05:06any ambiguity.
00:05:07The Chief
00:05:11of Staff and Deputy Coordinator of the Army said:
00:05:15Iran's armed forces will take action wherever necessary
00:05:18to strike the enemy. Admiral Sayyari
00:05:22said: The Iranian nation has proven to the enemy that it stands
00:05:25against them to preserve territorial integrity and the revolution.
00:05:29We defended strongly,
00:05:32we defend strongly, and wherever necessary, we will
00:05:36do what is necessary for us to strike
00:05:40the enemy.
00:06:05gasoline and declaring the end of the war against Iran cannot
00:06:09save Republicans on the eve of the congressional elections.
00:06:12According to this American website, only
00:06:1527% of Americans believe Trump can end the
00:06:19war with Iran or significantly reduce the price of food and gasoline.
00:06:23Politico emphasized: Americans' perception of Trump's performance
00:06:26and the economic situation has been established,
00:06:30and many experts and political
00:06:33activists believe that the opportunity for any change in the electoral
00:06:37equations has been lost. The
00:06:39UK Maritime
00:06:42Trade Operations organization announced that it
00:06:45has received a report about an unknown projectile hitting
00:06:48an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. According to this report,
00:06:52the ship was damaged, but none of
00:06:56the crew were injured. Meanwhile, some media outlets published
00:07:00images of a large fire on a ship in the Strait
00:07:03of Hormuz. This morning, another
00:07:07ship off the coast of Oman was targeted
00:07:10by an unknown projectile.
00:07:14The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for Legal and International
00:07:18Affairs, attending Shajareh Tayyebeh Minab Primary School, considered
00:07:21the follow-up of this case through international forums
00:07:25as a serious agenda of the foreign policy institution. Mr. Gharibabadi
00:07:28announced the completion of the documentation of this American-Zionist
00:07:32crime. The Deputy Foreign Minister also said: Although
00:07:36the criminals have not yet accepted responsibility for the missile
00:07:39attack on Minab students, the awakened
00:07:43consciences of nations have become aware of the occurrence of this crime.
00:07:46According to Mr. Gharibabadi, our country's embassies
00:07:50have been instructed to present the documents
00:07:53of America's crime to journalists and the people
00:07:57of the world by explaining the greatest crime in
00:08:00history against children.
00:08:04The Minister of Roads and Urban Development, on the sidelines of
00:08:08his visit to the exhibition of rural and nomadic capabilities,
00:08:11said about rural housing that within the framework of
00:08:14the Law on Youth Population and land allocation schemes,
00:08:1819,000 plots of land have been transferred to applicants
00:08:20in the past two years.
00:08:22In the
00:08:25Law on Youth Population and in the
00:08:28allocation of 99-year supportive
00:08:32lands, the record we had since
00:08:362021 in youth population is more than
00:08:3921,000, of which 19 thousand were done
00:08:43in these two years, meaning if 21 thousand plots were delivered, 19
00:08:46thousand of them were in these two years, and this number clearly shows that special
00:08:50attention has been paid to housing. Another
00:08:54thing we are doing with the changes in policies
00:08:58in the Housing Foundation is special attention
00:09:00to villagers who live in the village. Anyway,
00:09:04the population that exists there should have more flexibility
00:09:07in rural development plans so that
00:09:10villagers, children of villagers, and those who may be in
00:09:14big cities and want to return to their villages, this reverse
00:09:18migration exists and is included in the plans
00:09:22and this population
00:09:25that should have permanent residence there can at least have their problem solved
00:09:29in the plans so that they can reside.
00:09:31Ms. Sadegh
00:09:34also said: Currently, there are more than 220,000
00:09:37kilometers of rural roads in the country, of which 110,000
00:09:41kilometers are local.
00:09:44Sources report the control
00:09:48of Yemeni armed forces over areas at the entrance
00:09:51of Taiz city. According to local media reports,
00:09:55the Taiz-Al-Maysarah road at the entrance of Taiz
00:09:58city has also been cut off. Saudi mercenaries have no way
00:10:02to deliver supplies and aid to the fronts around Taiz
00:10:05city. Also, some sources announced that the Yemeni
00:10:09armed forces broke the defensive lines of Saudi
00:10:13mercenaries in Dhubab and reached Taiz Central Prison.
00:10:17On the other side of the battlefield, Saudi
00:10:20fighters targeted Al-Hudaydah and Taiz provinces.
00:10:24Yahya Sarea, the spokesman for the Yemeni
00:10:27armed forces, also said: We warn all airlines and
00:10:30passengers at airports and in Saudi airspace
00:10:34not to approach these airports because
00:10:38these airports, with the exception of Mecca and Medina airports,
00:10:41are the scene of operations by the Yemeni
00:10:44armed forces.
00:10:47And at the same time as the attacks on southern Lebanon continue,
00:10:50a Lebanese farmer was martyred while harvesting his crop
00:10:54due to the explosion of remnants of war explosives.
00:10:57The Zionist regime today targeted
00:11:00several areas in southern Lebanon with air and
00:11:04artillery attacks. In the latest drone attacks,
00:11:08Al-Nabatiyah village was targeted.
00:11:11News sources also published images of this regime's Merkava
00:11:15tank using laser beams near the areas of
00:11:19Zuater Sharqi and Zuater Gharbi.
00:11:22According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health,
00:11:25since March 1st of last year, 4,386 people
00:11:29have been martyred in the Zionist
00:11:33regime's attacks on this country,
00:11:35and 12,424 people have been injured.

00:15:19Trump
00:15:25signed the memorandum on June 17th because he realized that
00:15:29he really had no other choice. It wasn't like he had a strategy to win the war and
00:15:33could resort to it. President Trump , by signing that document, was practically
00:15:36saying that Americans had lost this war.
00:15:40Even though the Israelis did not act on the June 17th
00:15:44agreement, or in other words, Americans did not act
00:15:48on the demands of the first clause of the memorandum, Iranians
00:15:51nevertheless accepted
00:15:53the memorandum.
00:15:59And if Israel decides at some point in the future, after signing
00:16:03the memorandum, to fight Hezbollah, no American president will do
00:16:06much.
00:16:52Nobody in the world wants to go to war, except
00:16:56Washington, that's the problem. We're the ones that
00:16:59initiate, we're the ones that are precipitating the conflict,
00:17:02and if you look at the dire consequences of the war with
00:17:06Iran right now, we're only... just now beginning to feel the effects in a big
00:17:09way. remember we talked months ago about the fertilizer
00:17:13shortage stand, we talked about access to
00:17:17critical elements like helium, sulpur
00:17:20without sulfuric acid, you can't refine anything, you can't smelt
00:17:24anything, it's catastrophic, and then of
00:17:27course you have the problems with natural gas and and oil
00:17:30period, well that's begon to hit, and
00:17:34we're going to see famin in large parts of the world as well move through the
00:17:38winter and into the spring, it's going to be
00:17:40catastrophic. what we've demonstrated
00:17:44sadly in Washington is a complete
00:17:46contempt, not just for our enemies
00:17:50or our opponents, we feel contempt for the whole
00:17:53world, because if anyone had the
00:17:56slightest humanitarian concern for the people that live on
00:18:00the planet with us, they'd stop this now
00:18:04immediately, but remember this
00:18:07is the Jewish supremacy
00:18:10war waged by Israel and its agents in the United
00:18:14States, this is not us, this is not what we want,
00:18:18this is not necessary for us, all this nonsense
00:18:21about can't have nuclear weapon, well the Indians have nuclear weapon, the Pakistanis
00:18:24have nuclear weapon, no one has talked about going to war with them, North
00:18:28Korea is had nuclear weapon, and if you're going to tell me that
00:18:32Mr. Kim is infinitely more stable and
00:18:35rational and reasonable than... anybody sitting in Tehran, well then you're going to
00:18:39have tough time convincing me, this is all
00:18:42nonsense, this is about one thing and only one
00:18:46thing, international Jewish supremacy in
00:18:49Israel, in the middle east and through finance in the United States, that's
00:18:53we're we're headed, on the fast track into the deepest
00:18:57part of financial hell that you can go, why
00:19:01then would you do this? well, this government,
00:19:04which is the Israel first government, is going... to
00:19:07exhaust whatever resources we have in
00:19:10pursuit of this regional Jewish supremacy and
00:19:14capture, and this is important, capture of
00:19:17control of all the oil resources in the Middle East, because
00:19:21at the end of the day is direct access and control over
00:19:25those resources by forces that are
00:19:28at least Israel friendly, if not under Israel's
00:19:31thumb.
00:20:18In the name of God, greetings and good evening to you, dear
00:20:22and respected viewers. We are at your service with another program
00:20:26from Iran on the News Channel, live and online, today, Sunday,
00:20:29October 11th, on the 226th day
00:20:32of the third imposed war. With me in the studio are Mr. Vahid Khaza
00:20:36and Mr. Akbarouni. Greetings to my dear friends and brothers. In the name
00:20:40of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Greetings to you, Mr. Aziz, all dear
00:20:44viewers and listeners, and we are at your service. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
00:20:47I greet you, Mr. Sayyed.
00:20:53I send my greetings and devotion to all our dear and respected viewers and listeners. As
00:20:57always, we ask for many prayers, first for the
00:21:00mujahideen and fighters, and second for all
00:21:04the Iranian nation, so that God willing, with the blessing of these prayers, we can successfully
00:21:08pass through these decisive and wartime days. As
00:21:11we announced last night,
00:21:14today we have an exclusive and special interview
00:21:18with Mr. Mearsheimer,
00:21:50Let's watch the first part of the interview. Although
00:21:53in the program, because we have repeatedly published
00:21:57excerpts of Mr. Mearsheimer's speeches with others, with YouTube channels, and with
00:22:01other media, and talked about
00:22:04them, let's review who Mr. Mearsheimer is
00:22:07and what his scientific and political influence
00:22:10are, and why
00:22:13what Mearsheimer says is important. I don't think it's bad, Mr. Nima,
00:22:17Mr. John Mearsheimer is a very well-known person
00:22:21in the field of international politics in our time.
00:22:24We want to have a brief introduction to him. He was born in
00:22:271947. He is American.
00:22:30Later, he went to West Point University and was an officer
00:22:34in the United States Air Force.
00:22:38Then he entered his academic and university
00:22:41process. He has been teaching
00:22:44at the University of Chicago since 1982.
00:22:46And most importantly, he is a theorist. He has
00:22:50a famous theory called offensive
00:22:53realism. And he was
00:22:56one of the pioneers in this field who started
00:23:00analyzing countries' political desires and geopolitical
00:23:03international moves not based on their slogans.
00:23:07This theory was such that it no longer looked at them based on slogans.
00:23:11Then it said that countries should be considered based on military
00:23:14, geographical, security, and national interests.
00:23:18Both slogans and generally ideological approaches, other
00:23:22than slogans, generally distinguished the ideological
00:23:25origins of countries, and at the same time, exactly what
00:23:29you said, it said that they are not
00:23:32decisive. Yes, I must tell
00:23:35you that he also had different
00:23:39opinions, especially his different opinions became very prominent
00:23:42after the Ukraine war, which was reflected in the media. He has
00:23:46an important book with Stephen Walt called
00:23:50The Israel Lobby in the United States,
00:23:53which was also a tough book. It was one of those
00:23:56things that a few nights ago, when we were with Mr.
00:24:00Norman Finkelstein, I explained that only Finkelstein
00:24:03could say these things in that society because of the historical
00:24:07burden of being a Holocaust victim in his family.
00:24:11If anyone else had said it, they would have really ruined
00:24:14him. Mearsheimer was so great himself, and of course,
00:24:18Walt is also a great person in Congress.
00:24:50a list and so on, no, this is not it. The fact that
00:24:53he has now gained some critical
00:24:56angles is due to the policies they are adopting.
00:25:00His prominence really dates back to the Biden era, when the US was very seriously
00:25:03involved in the war between Russia and Ukraine.
00:25:07From there, he gained a critical perspective,
00:25:10and some of his theories were even used in the
00:25:14Trump-Biden and later Trump-Kamala
00:25:17Harris election campaigns.
00:25:21The war ended, and the Americans returned to the same factory settings,
00:25:24continuing with the same approach with very
00:25:27minor changes. There, Mearsheimer
00:25:30very clearly stated his
00:25:33opinions. And that's
00:25:37it. Regarding our war, both before the 12-day war and after
00:25:40the 40-day war, and he is still talking
00:25:44about it. His views differ more
00:25:47from the US ruling establishment.
00:26:02a political science thinker
00:26:05of the present world. I mean, there are a number of people
00:26:08in the world, other than prominent politicians,
00:26:11or for example, someone who, let's say, was the president
00:26:15of a major country, for example, the president of a
00:26:18European country. Now, let's consider that it's very important
00:26:22for them. If the president of France, for example, gives
00:26:25a political interview, because he is the former or past president
00:26:29of France, his words are seen. But if, for example,
00:26:3320 or 25 years pass, and he becomes
00:26:36a very past president, he no longer holds that much importance.
00:26:39Even now, foreign ministers who were foreign ministers in the 90s
00:26:43still write in publications, and they are viewed as
00:26:47ordinary university professors. But there are some
00:26:49thinkers, for example, Fukuyama,
00:26:53who was also a theorist and presented important theories,
00:26:57and he is still doing so. Regarding our own war, we haven't had a chance to discuss it
00:27:01in the program. These people, when they speak,
00:27:04are welcomed, and people want to see what they say. Both their
00:27:08supporters pay attention, and their opponents. It's not like
00:27:11everyone blindly accepts their words, but
00:27:14ultimately, they say that he speaks
00:27:17logically. If we want to name the top 20 political thinkers
00:27:21in the world today, Mearsheimer is definitely
00:27:25one of them. Even if we want to name 10, it can
00:27:28be said with a high degree of accuracy
00:27:32that if experts are surveyed,
00:27:36he is among them. Therefore, he is considered
00:27:39a very high-level individual. For example, Jeffrey Sachs,
00:27:43whom we had, or Finkelstein, both are important people,
00:27:47but it's not like if we name the top 10 political thinkers,
00:27:50Jeffrey Sachs will be one of them. No, for example, if we want to name 100, he might
00:27:54be one of them. In short, Mearsheimer, as they
00:27:57say, is one of the top ten, as they say in English,
00:28:01those who are at the top. Therefore, his words
00:28:04are also important in this regard, regardless of the fact that he is American,
00:28:08and the points Nima mentioned, he is a thinker who is paid
00:28:12attention to. Mearsheimer has certainly spoken
00:28:15a lot. Imam mentioned before the 12-day war,
00:28:19after the 12-day war, and in fact, the weeks leading up to
00:28:22the 40-day war, the recent war we are in now, and during
00:28:26the war, he almost speaks every day, either on his
00:28:30own channel or with various media outlets.
00:28:34The very fact that he speaks can be criticized.
00:28:37I mean, people say, what did this person predict? It's
00:28:41naturally not wrong, mistakes don't necessarily happen. We are
00:28:44talking about a political analyst, a political thinker, not
00:28:48a prophet. And naturally, in his analysis,
00:28:52part of the matters may happen according to what he analyzed, and part may not.
00:28:55One part of his statements
00:28:59that goes back to even before
00:29:02the 12-day war, regarding Iran,
00:29:06I think we have it ready. If they play that part, which is probably
00:29:10from 15 or 16 months ago, if I'm not mistaken,
00:29:14this part of Mearsheimer's statements, if
00:29:16our friends
00:29:18play it, I think now that it's in the past,
00:29:21his view can be reviewed, but
00:29:25I still think the interesting question is, what happens
00:29:29if Trump goes to war with Iran?
00:29:33We can imagine a scenario where, economically,
00:29:36we put the military aside completely. It can be imagined that
00:29:40if we get into a major war with Iran, there will be very severe
00:29:44negative consequences for the global economy
00:29:47because Iranians will ultimately prevent
00:29:51the exit of oil from places like the Persian Gulf. Iranians might
00:29:55target oil fields and oil terminals
00:29:58in Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf countries,
00:30:02and this will have horrific consequences for the global
00:30:06economy. This is even a mild interpretation. So, I think,
00:30:09given the tariff policy that has been put forward,
00:30:13the motivation is more towards not starting a war
00:30:17with Iran. Well, these are
00:30:20statements for April 2025, meaning
00:30:24March 2025,
00:30:27meaning the beginning of last year.
00:30:30The talk is that if Iran is attacked,
00:30:34Iranians will prevent the passage of oil
00:30:37from the Persian Gulf, and they will even attack
00:30:40the oil facilities of other countries. Now, in fact,
00:30:44what we are in now, although it didn't happen to our faith
00:30:47in the 12-day war, it happened in the war we are in now.
00:30:51This is practically what Mearsheimer said about the war
00:30:55is coming true. Look, we talked about something in previous programs, once about
00:30:58Sayyed Walirezayi.
