00:00:00And if a communications operator cannot fulfill their commitment,
00:00:03I would say that they will be subject
00:00:07to fines and the supervisory tools that we have in the
00:00:11Ministry of Communications and the Regulatory Organization. But now, regarding the internet that
00:00:15I use, there is always a complaint that our internet is expensive
00:00:18and of poor quality. This means that its speed
00:00:21and so on are not acceptable at all, and its cost is
00:00:25high. Well, these regulations and these supervisions
00:00:28already exist, but the people are not
00:00:31satisfied. What guarantee is there in fiber that this will not
00:00:35happen? Now, its speed is quality. In fact, it's about the technology.
00:00:39The main complaints of users that exist are focused on this
00:00:42quality. That is, at any rate, issues related to
00:00:46price and, I would say, costs, if they are
00:00:49proportional to the appropriate quality, users will definitely have the
00:00:53necessary satisfaction. That is, our principle in the
00:00:56systems, as I told you, our complaints systems and our systems with
00:01:00customers, both us and the communications operators, what is raised as
00:01:04a complaint today is related to quality, that they are buying it
00:01:07expensively. This quality will
00:01:10happen through this change, and it will
00:01:13happen through this change in infrastructure generation.
00:01:17Now, if you communicate with users who have
00:01:20fiber-based connections, have fiber optic connections at
00:01:24home, you will definitely see that they are satisfied
00:01:27and with a speed and, as I said, a quality that is several
00:01:31times, several tens of times, and in some places several hundred times higher than the
00:01:35speed. Is the cost high or is it relatively reasonable?
00:01:39Look, the cost is completely designed based on those
00:01:43indicators and the definitions that are, after all, made available to
00:01:46users are based on those indicators that if they previously
00:01:50had, for example, a
00:01:51as to why you could not access any of fixed connection, it is proportional to
00:01:54the increase in speed and quality that has occurred, it is proportional to
00:01:57that, and it will definitely consider the livelihood of the people
00:02:01and users. In this
00:02:03regard, the legislator of this field, which we are
00:02:07in the Regulatory Commission, we fully consider these,
00:02:11and if you look now,
00:02:14the field of increasing tariffs in the communications
00:02:16sector, especially, just make a comparison with
00:02:20other sectors that exist and other price increases that exist, after all,
00:02:24the principle of the percentage, I would say,
00:02:27of communication costs in the budget of users and livelihoods. Attention
00:02:31to this issue in all
00:02:34the definitions we have in the Ministry of Communications are
00:02:37fully at the top of our considerations. We have 3 minutes left.
00:02:41No, my question is that, look, due to the
00:02:45American public the scope of limitations we have in the internet in terms of price and
00:02:48quality, you mentioned that we consider incentives
00:02:52so that operators can bring more users to fiber optics every
00:02:55day. I say that when your quality is good and your price is
00:02:58acceptable compared to the quality,
00:03:01there is almost no
00:03:03need for incentives. People should actually be flooded with requests.
00:03:06The costs, as I said, the initial
00:03:10connection costs. A user today uses a simple modem in
00:03:13their home. Why should they pay, for example, an amount like 4 to 5 million Tomans
00:03:17or more to connect?
00:03:21I say, because their needs are being met. Why should they incur this cost so that
00:03:25, for example, their connection is based on fiber optics? For example, I mean,
00:03:28their needs are being met based on the previous one. Well, you can't categorize
00:03:32all users. Many users today,
00:03:35for example, have a simple need that
00:03:39is being met today based on these connections. Well, why
00:03:42should this happen? For example, there is at least an initial cost
00:03:45for , I would say, cabling
00:03:49in, for example, a home, there is an initial cost for purchasing a modem. Why should they do
00:03:53this? Here is the logic that I mentioned, the economy must
00:03:56come and take shape, and that's where we need to bring these
00:04:00resources to serve this issue so that we can achieve that goal. Now,
00:04:03is there a timetable for the completion
00:04:07and completion of this network? For the H that I mentioned,
00:04:11there are 20 million connection possibilities or coverage,
00:04:14which is the end of the Seventh Program, which we are trying to achieve, God willing,
00:04:18in the coming year. Of course, I should tell you that we had challenges and obstacles
00:04:22that now we only mentioned the issue of excavation permits.
00:04:25Anyway, the incidents that we had in the country,
00:04:29such as the issue of wars that we have gone
00:04:32through in the country, these are also, after all, because these are construction operations,
00:04:36excavation operations, the issues of, after all, economic fluctuations,
00:04:39the costs of project implementation, and the duties that
00:04:43other agencies have, the legal disputes that arise, these are all issues and challenges
00:04:47that our project faces. And one of them is this
00:04:51final cost for the end user. That is, this is also one of those challenges that I now
00:04:55say has at least doubled compared to, for example, last year.
00:04:58Therefore, what you say is that we are tasked until the end of the
00:05:02Seventh Program to create 20 million coverages, and then in
00:05:06parallel, our approach is to increase the
00:05:09connection. Regarding the migration project, where copper will be completely
00:05:13collected and instead we will have fiber optics throughout the country,
00:05:16Iran Communications Company has also given a plan that , God willing, by the year
00:05:191408, this project will be brought
00:05:22to a reasonably acceptable completion. Almost
00:05:26from 148 onwards, we will no
00:05:28longer have a copper network. I had the
00:05:32statistics and reports to give you about the
00:05:35progress. In just a few seconds, the progress
00:05:39of the project in connecting schools. We had more than 1200 growth.
00:05:43In connecting health centers, in connecting, I would say,
00:05:46the country's banking network, these are based on, meaning these are separate from
00:05:50the businesses and home connections. These have been
00:05:53specifically addressed, and we have had these significant growths that today, as I say,
00:05:57more than 10,000 schools in the country are connected to fiber optics.
00:06:00Banks, administrative and governmental organizations, and health
00:06:04centers, and incidentally, these two cases, schools and, I would say,
00:06:07the health network, are very much emphasized
00:06:11by Mr. Raeisi himself,
00:06:13and he follows up on how the health network, health centers, medical
00:06:17universities, and also universities and schools have been
00:06:20connected. Thank you very much, Mr.
00:06:24Fattahi, the honorable Deputy Minister of Communications and the Head of the
00:06:27Regulatory and Radio Communications Organization, for your presence in tonight's
00:06:30special news interview. Be healthy. Thank you for giving us this time. Be healthy.
00:06:34Thank you, and thank you for watching. Good night.
00:06:37بخیر.
00:07:14Imagine you're sitting in a control room somewhere in the Nevada Desert in
00:07:182011. The room is dim, the air conditioning is
00:07:21humming, and the screens in front of you are connected to an aircraft
00:07:25thousands of miles away. It's called the RQ-170
00:07:28Sentinel and at the time, it's one of the most secret unmanned
00:07:32aircraft in the American Arsenal. The CIA uses it for missions
00:07:36where simply being detected could create an international incident.
00:07:39Earlier that same year, an RQ-170 has been used
00:07:43in the surveillance efforts surrounding Osama bin Laden's
00:07:46compound in Pakistan. Now, the same type of aircraft is being used
00:07:50to watch another extremely sensitive target, Iran.
00:07:54The Washington Post later reported that one of the early
00:07:57RQ-170 missions penetrated more than 600
00:08:01miles into Iran and observed the secret nuclear
00:08:04facility near Colme without provoking any obvious response
00:08:08from Iranian defenses. More missions followed. Thousands of
00:08:11sites were. and hundreds of surveillance passes were
00:08:14reportedly conducted. Eventually, something that once seed
00:08:18incredibly dangerous started to feel almost routine.
00:08:22Americans send their drones into Iran, they watch, they
00:08:25leave until one night the drone doesn't come
00:08:28back. Several days, the United States doesn't even
00:08:32know what's become of one of its most sensitive intelligence
00:08:35systems, then Iranian television provides the
00:08:38answer. The sentinel appears beneath bright lights.
00:08:42remarkably intact, surrounded by Iranian
00:08:45military personnel. For the United States, this is already an
00:08:49intelligence disaster for Iran, it's an opportunity
00:08:52that almost nobody could have planned. President Barack Obama
00:08:56even publicly begged Iran for the aircraft back.
00:08:59As is already been
00:09:00indicated,
00:09:04we have asked for it back, we'll
00:09:07see how the Iranians respond. Iran refused to
00:09:11understand why that... mattered so much though, we actually need to leave
00:09:142011 behind for moment and go back almost 30
00:09:18years, because the real beginning of Oran's drone story doesn't
00:09:21involve an American stealth aircraft at all, begins with
00:09:25a war Iran was struggling to see. I'm Jackson Hinkel from
00:09:29legitimate Targets and you're watching the story of how Iran
00:09:32became the world's drone
00:09:34superpower.
00:09:38Modern armies are surrounded by satellites, drones,
00:09:42digital maps and live video feeds, but in the early
00:09:461980s, battlefield reconnaissance often meant putting
00:09:49human beings inside aircraft and sending them over enemy
00:09:53territory. in the early years of the
00:09:56Iran-Iraq war, Iran relied heavily on
00:09:59RF-4 Phantom Reconnaissance aircraft.
00:10:03These were valuable machines flown by trained crews
00:10:06and early in the war they provided critical aerial imagery of
00:10:10Iraqi positions, but Iraq's air... defenses
00:10:13improved, radar coverage expanded and eventually an
00:10:16Iranian reconnaissance aircraft was shot down. Every
00:10:20mission now carried the possibility of losing not
00:10:23only an expensive aircraft. but also pilots that
00:10:27Iran couldn't easily replace. Under the
00:10:30Shah, Iran had been one of America's most important allies in
00:10:33the Middle East, and one of the largest customers for
00:10:37American military equipment. Its air force had
00:10:40been built around American technology. Then the
00:10:431979 Islamic Revolution overturned that
00:10:47relationship almost overnight. The new Islamic
00:10:50Republic inherited F4 Phantoms, F5 Fighters,
00:10:54F4. tomcats and enormous quantities of
00:10:58sophisticated equipment, but the country
00:11:00that had sold around those weapons was now one of its greatest
00:11:04enemies. spare parts became difficult to obtain,
00:11:07sanctions tightened, Iran's military couldn't afford to keep losing
00:11:11reconnaissance aircraft. so a group of students and
00:11:14engineers from Isfahan university began working
00:11:18on another idea. what if you could just put camera
00:11:21an aircraft without putting the pilot in it? that's exactly... they
00:11:25did. The first Iranian drones were primitive compared to what would
00:11:29come later. Medical IV bags were used as improvised fuel
00:11:32containers, propellers were made from wood, launching equipment
00:11:36was assembled by hand. These early machines had limited range
00:11:40and could struggle badly in windy conditions, sometimes even
00:11:43forcing operators to use parachutes and search for them
00:11:46after missions, but they worked. Iran's early
00:11:50UAV effort surveyed nearly 14,000 square
00:11:54kilometers. produce more than 5,000 reconnaissance frames
00:11:57during the Iran-Iraq war, our country fighting
00:12:01much better supplied Iraq, while increasingly isolated from
00:12:04western technology, lesson was powerful, a crude,
00:12:08unmanned aerial aircraft did not need to be better than the fighter
00:12:12jet, it just needed to solve a problem that the fighter jet was too
00:12:15valuable to solve, and that idea would stay with Iran for
00:12:19decades.
00:12:24After the war, Iran could have treated these primitive drones
00:12:27as emergency experiment and simply moved on. Instead, the
00:12:31country began institutionalizing them.
00:12:33Organizations such as Kuds, aviation worked on
00:12:37increasingly capable unmanned systems, while
00:12:40aircraft from the Mohajer and Ababil families gradually
00:12:44improved range, reliability and
00:12:47usefulness. Engineers learned about autopilots,
00:12:50communication systems,
00:12:53airframes. Military command. learned what unmanned aircraft
00:12:57could and could not do, factories learned how to produce and repair
00:13:00them, huurament networks learned which foren components could be
00:13:04acquired and which had to be replaced domestically, and
00:13:07sanctions shaped the entire process. if the preferred engine
00:13:10was unavailable, another engine had to be adapted. if specialized
00:13:14electronics were restricted, they had to be sourced through intermediaries,
00:13:18reverse engineered or replaced with civilian components. the
00:13:22question wasn't always, what's the best possible? system, instead it was
00:13:26often, what can we actually built? once you understand that
00:13:29mindset, Iran's later obsession with captured foreign
00:13:33equipment starts making a whole lot more sense, because every foreign
00:13:36system that fell into Iranian hands represented something
00:13:40sanctions had made incredibly difficult to obtain
00:13:43access. around the end of the 1990s,
00:13:46shahead aviation industries which primarily focus on
00:13:50creating helicopters began moving seriously into drone development.
00:13:54one important of this development involved examining foreign
00:13:57unmanned aircraft, including the Israeli Armez family.
00:14:01By 2007, the organization had produced the shothead
00:14:04123, while work soon moved toward the much more
00:14:08ambitious Shothead 129, designed not
00:14:11simply to observe, but eventually to conduct combat
00:14:14missions as well. So by 2011, Ron's drone
00:14:17industry was no longer a collection of students building improvised
00:14:21aircraft with wooden propellers. It had decades
00:14:24of. experience, it had organizations dedicated to
00:14:27drone development, it had already learned to examine foreign technology
00:14:31and incorporate useful ideas and it was beginning to move from
00:14:35basic reconnaissance toward armed long-range
00:14:38aircraft, then almost unbelievably one of America's
00:14:42most sophisticated unmann aircraft landed in its
00:14:46lap.
00:14:49Iran already knew American drones were operating near its borders, but the
00:14:53United States is... 170 was different from
00:14:56everything Iran had previously obtained. This aircraft came
00:15:00from Malackied Martin's Skunkworks. Organization
00:15:03associated with some of America's most secret aviation
00:15:07projects. The US Air Force publicly described the Sentinel
00:15:10only as a low-observable unmanned
00:15:13aircraft system. Even its existence had only been officially
00:15:17acknowledged in 2009 after aviation enthusiasts
00:15:21began spotting a mysterious aircraft around the Kandahar.
00:15:25airfield in Afghanistan, they nicknamed it the Beast of
00:15:28Kandahar, but what happened in December 2011 was
00:15:32that one of those aircraft stopped being something Iran could only watch from the
00:15:35ground, it became some... thing that Iranian technicians
00:15:39could actually touch. United States never publicly released the
00:15:43classified telemetry and attributed the loss to a
00:15:46malfunction, so the complete technical sequence remains
00:15:49unknown outside the participants, but the
00:15:51operational result is undeniable. The CIA
00:15:55lost the RQ-170 inside Iran and Iran
00:15:59recovered the aircraft an unusually intact
00:16:01condition. This was the turning point that accelerated Iran's
00:16:05existing drone programs. Iran. now had something in
00:16:08their hands that years of espionage might not have
00:16:11produced, physical access to an actual advance American
00:16:15drone. American officials had already recognized the broader
00:16:19danger. December 2011, then Air Force chief
00:16:22of staff, general Norton Schwarzs acknowledged publicly
00:16:26that there was clearly potential for reverse
00:16:28engineering.
00:21:08Governance is not just about commanding
00:21:11and ruling.
00:21:17Governance is about being in people's hearts.
00:22:00Every war or military alliance needs an excuse. A
00:22:04great threat that the whole world believes.
00:22:08But if there was no
00:22:09excuse,
00:22:18they make one. With a false flag
00:22:21operation or a threat in the name of
00:22:24the enemy, large enough to make the punishment of
00:22:28the accused seem mandatory for everyone. For 70
00:22:31years, this tactic has led to wars and great punishments.
00:22:35There is no doubt that the Zionist regime has a long history
00:22:39of designing and implementing so-called false flag
00:22:42operations. A very clear case is the
00:22:45incident known as the
00:22:48Lavon affair. In 1954,
00:22:51in
00:22:54Cairo, Egypt, (1954)
00:22:58explosions in cinemas and American centers. The blame falls on
00:23:02the Egyptians, and two people are
00:23:05executed. Years later, the official archives of the Israeli
00:23:08Ministry of Defense explicitly state: these bombings
00:23:11were the work of Israeli spies,
00:23:14and 51 years later, they themselves officially
00:23:17honored those same agents.
00:23:25Bombings in cafes and Jewish neighborhoods resulted in
00:23:28the migration of hundreds of thousands
00:23:32of Iraqi Jews to Israel.
00:23:36And later it became clear that this was the work of the Israelis
00:23:39themselves. The Mediterranean
00:23:43Sea, 1967. The peak of the Six-Day War.
00:23:46The American reconnaissance ship Liberty, because.
00:24:09And this pattern is repeated many, many times. Assassinations and
00:24:12operations in different parts of the world, and of course,
00:24:16the most important of them are the false narratives about
00:24:20October 7th.
00:24:23February 28th, 2026.
00:24:27War is imposed on Iran for 40 days and
00:24:30nights. The origin of many of the attacks are American
00:24:34bases in the Persian Gulf countries. Iran
00:24:38also targets those same bases in return.
00:24:40گیرد.
00:24:45But in these 40 days, the same pattern is repeated
00:24:49again. Attacks from an unknown source on
00:24:52regional countries, and the accusation is always
00:24:55in the name of Iran.
00:25:00And Tehran gives an ironclad answer every
00:25:02time. Even if it's a lie.
00:25:06Day three of the war: Aramco refineries in
00:25:09flames. The accusation is fired
00:25:13in the first hour. Iran.
00:25:16But the drones were intercepted. And the media from
00:25:50going to war against Iran.
00:25:52Tehran officially denies both. But the climax of
00:25:56the story is after the ceasefire. On August
00:25:5917th, at midnight, two suicide drones
00:26:02targeted Masrour Barzani's office in Erbil,
00:26:06and again the finger of accusation points
00:26:08towards
00:26:11Iran. But Tehran's response is the key to the puzzle.
00:26:15All of Iran's operations are officially and explicitly announced.
00:26:18شوند.
00:26:21Every attack, an accusation. Every
00:26:23accusation, a fake narrative.
00:26:2740 days of war, and the list of false flags
00:26:31is longer than ever before. And this
00:26:34pattern has no end. England, three suspicious
00:26:38vehicles near Fairford base, no bombs,
00:26:42no evidence, and once again an accusation
00:26:45in the name of
00:26:46Iran.
00:26:52A few days later, another claim, a co-pilot with
00:26:56a knife on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv,
00:26:59and the rescuer of the story, an Israeli passenger. No
00:27:03clear motive, no evidence, and it is clear that
00:27:06this is another conspiracy. From
00:27:10Cairo to the Persian Gulf, from
00:27:131954
00:27:15to today. For 70 years, the false flag
00:27:19remains a weapon to create a narrative,
00:27:22a terror, and finally justify
00:27:25subsequent illegal
00:27:27actions.
00:27:50What reason were you given
00:27:53these military facilities, which by the way, we've heard from reporting and even the former
00:27:57director of the CIA are now rendered
00:28:00inoperable.
00:28:02Yeah, the reason was made up, the reason was that it wasn't safe to bring
00:28:06me to base, but that's just not true. Uh, the fact the
00:28:10matter is, I've been in the Iraq war during
00:28:13the height of the surge. I was brought to forward operating
00:28:17bases in Afghanistan when the Taliban was actively targeting our
00:28:20troops. Um, this was not a question of safety, this is
00:28:24a question of cover-up, um, because in addition to not being able to get on
00:28:27those bases, as you mentioned, I simply asked for the department of defense leadership
00:28:31in the... region to come brief me at the embassy
00:28:35and they refused even come talk to me, that's proof positive that
00:28:39this is about a broader effort to try
00:28:42to cover up, try to hide from members of congress and the
00:28:47the damage. did get to see the damage to the US embassy because the state
00:28:51department did support my trip there and it was
00:28:54extensive um the attack on the US embassy happened at night, had it
00:28:58happened during the day, there would have been lots of Americans

00:29:19real plan.
