00:00:00on the diplomatic and military side after World War II. here in the region are at grave risk.
00:00:24Good time to you, dear viewers. The case of many plaintiffs
00:00:27Farda Motors with 9,000 vehicles.
00:00:33The plaintiff was followed up. The first deputy of the judiciary, emphasizing the need to determine
00:00:37the status of Farda Motors' automotive commitments, said:
00:00:41It must be precisely determined how many vehicles can be produced
00:00:44and delivered in what timeframe, and the timeline must be
00:00:48based on the actual production capacity. Mr. Khalili added:
00:00:52In fulfilling commitments, those who signed contracts earlier
00:00:55should be prioritized for delivery.
00:00:58The first deputy of the judiciary emphasized that no new pre-sales
00:01:02should take place until previous commitments are fulfilled.
00:01:06Mr. Momeni, the Minister of Interior,
00:01:09arrived in Baku with the welcome of the Minister of Interior
00:01:12of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
00:01:14The development of relations
00:01:16with neighbors is the first priority
00:01:20of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran,
00:01:23and Azerbaijan also has a special place in
00:01:27the policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Naturally, the most
00:01:30important issues discussed in this trip
00:01:34are security issues, border
00:01:37traffic issues, issues such as
00:01:40organized crime, migration,
00:01:43and drug issues will be
00:01:46on the agenda. Well, you know that
00:01:50border security depends on the interaction,
00:01:54cooperation, and coordination of countries on both sides
00:01:57of the border, which, thank God,
00:02:00is at a good level between the two countries. Meeting
00:02:03with the esteemed Minister of
00:02:06Interior of Azerbaijan
00:02:09and also their emergency
00:02:11officials and other officials is on the agenda, God willing.
00:02:15The CEO of Tehran Water
00:02:16Company, referring to
00:02:19the measures taken to manage water consumption, said that this year
00:02:23the share of good consumers has reached
00:02:2650%. It was the cooperation of the people
00:02:30that we passed this year without the slightest problem,
00:02:34meaning without any problem.
00:02:37The consumption rate compared to two years ago
00:02:40has been reduced by the people from 250 liters per day
00:02:44to 180 liters per day,
00:02:47a reduction of 70 liters, which
00:02:51is commendable. This campaign that you mentioned
00:02:54today is exactly to thank the people
00:02:58for their cooperation. And we ask them to help
00:03:01us further, and we still have a long way to go to reach
00:03:05the standard consumption of 130 liters per day
00:03:08that has been defined. God willing, with each other's help, we can manage
00:03:11this number 188 even more
00:03:15and have no problems for the citizens in the future.
00:03:18All our colleagues' efforts are based on this.
00:03:20Thank you
00:03:23for joining us for this news section.
00:03:24Let me talk
00:04:00to you about student protests in France. What are the roots
00:04:03of these protests in France?
00:04:05Well, I think the main problem
00:04:12is that students are studying in very unsuitable conditions.
00:04:16Schools face many problems in terms of facilities
00:04:19and equipment, as well as educational content.
00:04:23On the other hand, the social and economic situation
00:04:27of the students themselves is not very good, and many of them really
00:04:30cannot afford the rising cost of living.
00:04:34In my opinion, the main demand of the protesters is to end austerity
00:04:37policies. More investment should be made in schools
00:04:41and people's living conditions should generally
00:04:45improve. In fact, a significant part of the protests is due to
00:04:48unsuitable educational conditions and poor
00:04:51school facilities. Besides these issues, there are more general economic
00:04:55problems in France, including the poor financial
00:04:58situation of the government and high fuel prices that put a lot of pressure on people.
00:05:02Therefore, reducing these pressures is also one of the main
00:05:05demands of the protesters. Another issue is the way the police deal
00:05:09with protests. The police deal very harshly with these students,
00:05:12and many cases of violence against protesters have been
00:05:16reported.
00:05:19I've seen reports of poor school conditions in France, for example, mice in classrooms
00:05:23or broken restrooms. Do all schools
00:05:27in France have the same
00:05:28conditions?
00:05:33In France, there is a big gap between public and private schools.
00:05:37A significant portion of private schools have better
00:05:41facilities and educational conditions, while many
00:05:44public schools face a lack of facilities and infrastructure problems.
00:05:48Some regions of France are even worse
00:05:51than this. However, I think overall, the conditions
00:05:55of public schools are almost unsuitable
00:05:58across the country. But the positive point we are witnessing now
00:06:01is the formation of a kind of solidarity among students from different
00:06:05schools. Even students who study in more privileged schools
00:06:09with better conditions have joined the protests.
00:06:38One of the main priorities of the government was to strengthen the country's
00:06:41military capability, allocating huge budgets to the army. In a situation
00:06:45where schools lack facilities and many students
00:06:49study in unsuitable conditions, the government still allocates
00:06:52a significant portion of its resources to military affairs. In addition
00:06:56to this issue, austerity policies are also being discussed,
00:07:00meaning the government is not very willing to increase public spending
00:07:03or invest more in sectors like education
00:07:07and social services. In fact, this
00:07:10approach is part of the neoliberal policies
00:07:13that have been pursued in France for years, emphasizing
00:07:16reducing government spending and limiting public
00:07:20investment. Therefore, protesters believe that for
00:07:24the conditions of schools and people's lives to improve,
00:07:27the government's economic priorities must change.
00:07:30What has been the reaction of the French government and education officials
00:07:34to these protests?
00:07:35Well, first of all,
00:07:40I think the government has tried to intimidate protesters
00:07:44and suppress protests using police force.
00:07:47However, we are now seeing a wider solidarity
00:07:51among students, and unions have effectively joined
00:07:55the protests. Students from different regions have united,
00:07:58and the scope of the protests has also expanded. I think
00:08:02French society as a whole largely supports these protests,
00:08:06and this has really worried the government. Now we might see
00:08:09some changes. For example, the government is temporarily
00:08:13employing more teachers, but I think
00:08:16these measures alone are not enough to solve the deep problems
00:08:20of the education system. For fundamental and lasting
00:08:23changes to occur, protests must continue
00:08:26on a larger scale and for a longer period of time.
00:08:30You mentioned police violence against students.
00:08:34We know that students are unarmed, but we are witnessing police
00:08:37violence against them. I also saw in the news that
00:08:41a boy's hand...
00:08:59It's truly insane that students,
00:09:01a part of whom are children and teenagers, are treated with such violence.
00:09:05It's clear that such a level of violence is not needed
00:09:09to manage protests. In my opinion, the goal is to make students
00:09:12fear in any way possible and discourage them
00:09:16from continuing their protests and expressing their political views.
00:09:20First, there is direct police violence. But the issue
00:09:23is not limited to street confrontations. Other threats are also
00:09:27raised, including that students might face restrictions
00:09:31on continuing their education due to explicitly expressing
00:09:35their political positions, lose their jobs,
00:09:38or have difficulty finding work in the future.
00:09:43I've seen fewer images and videos of police violence in mainstream
00:09:46media compared to social media. How do French media cover
00:09:50these protests, and do you think this coverage provides
00:09:53an accurate picture of the protests?
00:09:57Well, I think that for the media
00:10:04to cover social issues, first protests must take
00:10:08place and attract public attention.
00:10:12However, French media are not uniform in their coverage
00:10:16of these protests and have different approaches. Some
00:10:19media focus more on student behaviors that they consider
00:10:22to be wrong or criticizeable,
00:10:26but at the same time, they do not provide a clear explanation
00:10:29of the students' demands and the reasons that led them to protest.
00:10:33As a result, the audience may not get a complete picture of the roots
00:10:37of the protests and the problems that students face. Another
00:10:41important issue that I think is less addressed in the media
00:10:44is the anti-militarist aspect of these protests. Protests are usually
00:10:48covered within the framework of social and economic problems, but
00:10:52less is said about the connection between austerity policies,
00:10:56increased military spending, and reduced investment in sectors
00:10:59like education. In my opinion, this connection
00:11:03is a significant part of the story, and ignoring it leads
00:11:06to an incomplete picture of the reasons for the protests.
00:11:10On the other hand, I think foreign media, especially
00:11:14non-European media, sometimes cover protests
00:11:17and war news more accurately. In European media, there is sometimes
00:11:21a tendency to show protests as smaller than
00:11:24they actually are, or perhaps, if they want it to fit their own narrative,
00:11:28they exaggerate some aspects of the protests
00:11:32and in some way try to question the legitimacy
00:11:35of the protests. In my opinion, they also try
00:11:39to conceal the urgency and seriousness of the situation.
00:11:42Such an approach can divert attention from the main
00:11:46demands of the protesters and question the legitimacy
00:11:50of the protests. I think in this context, an attempt is made to hide
00:11:53the urgency and seriousness of the problems.
00:12:25at least a large part of the people are involved. As I said,
00:12:28unions have also strongly joined the protests.
00:12:32In my opinion, this expansion of solidarity in France is a very
00:12:35positive development. Prior to this, the Yellow Vest movement had formed,
00:12:39a widespread movement that brought together various groups of society.
00:12:43I think the government is trying to prevent such a situation
00:12:46from recurring, because a movement that can unite
00:12:50different parts of society can really be challenging
00:12:53for the government. With this,
00:13:28they are not so simple. For these protests to lead to fundamental changes,
00:13:32it is necessary for the movement to become a long-term
00:13:35and sustainable movement, and for pressure on the government
00:13:39to continue. If the protests subside too soon, the likelihood
00:13:42that austerity policies will change overall decreases. An important point
00:13:46is that Western countries are increasing their military
00:13:49capabilities and preparing the ground for wider
00:13:53conflicts. But advancing such policies is linked to reducing
00:13:57public spending and refraining from investing in education
00:14:00and other social sectors. For this reason, protesters
00:14:04believe that you cannot allocate huge sums to expand military
00:14:08capabilities on the one hand, and ignore school problems
00:14:11and people's living conditions on the other. Changing this situation
00:14:15is not easy and requires organization, solidarity,
00:14:18and continuous follow-up.
00:14:19Oh God, Iran.
00:15:25Nobody in the world wants to go to
00:15:45war except Washington, that's the
00:15:49problem, we're the ones that initiate, we're the ones that are
00:15:52precipitating the conflict, and if you look at the dire
00:15:56consequences of the war with Iran right now, we're only just now
00:15:59beginning to feel the effects in a big way. Remember, we talked
00:16:03months ago about the fertilizer shortage day. and we talked
00:16:06about access to critical elements like
00:16:10helium, sulfur without sulfuric acid, you can't
00:16:13refine anything, you can't smelt anything, it's
00:16:17catastrophic, and then of course you have the problems with natural gas
00:16:20and and oil period, well
00:16:24that's begun to hit, and we're going to see famine in large
00:16:27parts of the world as we move through the winter and into the spring,
00:16:31it's going to be catastrophic,
00:16:33what we demonstrated? Sadly, in Washington is a
00:16:37complete contempt, not
00:16:40just for our enemies or our opponents, we
00:16:43feel contempt for the whole world, because if
00:16:47anyone had the slightest humanitarian
00:16:50concern for the people that live on the planet with us, they'd
00:16:53stop this now, immediately, but
00:16:57remember, this is the
00:17:00Jewish supremacy war waged by
00:17:03Israel and its agents in the United States. this is not us, this is not
00:17:07what we want, this is not necessary for us, all
00:17:11this nonsense about can't have nuclear weapon, well the Indians have nuclear weapon, the
00:17:15pakistanis have nuclear weapon, no one has talked about
00:17:18going to war with them, north korea has had nuclear weapon, if you're going to
00:17:22tell me that Mr. Kim is infinitely
00:17:25more stable and rational and reasonable than anybody sitting in
00:17:29Tehran, well then you're going to have tough time convincing me,
00:17:33this is all nonsense, this is about one thing and only one
00:17:37thing, international Jewish supremacy in
00:17:41Israel in the middle east and through finance in the United States,
00:17:44that's we're we're headed, on the fast
00:17:47track into the deepest part of financial hell that you can
00:17:51go. why then would you do this? well,
00:17:54this government, which is the Israel first
00:17:58government, is going to exhaust whatever resources we have in
00:18:02pursuit of this regional Jewish supremacy and
00:18:05capture, and this is important, capture of
00:18:09control of all the oil resources in the Middle East, because
00:18:12at the end of the day is direct access and control over
00:18:16those resources by forces that are
00:18:19at least Israel friendly if not under Israel's thumb.
00:18:23In honor of
00:18:45Makan and his dark colleague, stand up.
00:18:49In honor of Mina and her
00:18:52teachers, stand up.
00:18:55In honor of Iran and its
00:18:58martyrs, stand up.
00:19:00In honor of the steadfastness of Damavand,
00:19:04in honor of the endurance
00:19:08of Padfan, in honor of the
00:19:11sorrowful wave of Arb Baran. Okay,
00:19:34friends. But it is appropriate for me to mention
00:19:38this high-ranking martyr,
00:19:42Martyr Nosrat Eftekhari,
00:19:45the cultural deputy of the police force
00:19:47of Sistan and Baluchestan province.
00:19:51I offer my condolences for his martyrdom
00:19:54to the noble people
00:19:57of
00:20:00Sistan and Baluchestan.
00:20:02Well, he was one of
00:20:07the local forces of that region
00:20:10who was recently martyred in a terrorist act.
00:20:14He had a PhD in IT, one of
00:20:17the prides of Iranian
00:20:20women. The reason I bless
00:20:24and adorn
00:20:28our weekly meetings
00:20:30with the name and image
00:20:34of martyrs is to remind
00:20:37ourselves that every moment
00:20:40we are here
00:20:43and enjoying the blessing
00:20:46of security, there are people
00:20:50who with their lives, with the sweetest
00:20:52possession that God bestows
00:20:56upon anyone, are defending
00:21:00the security
00:21:01and power
00:21:06of Iran. We send our greetings
00:21:09to all the martyrs of Iran and the land of Iran.
00:21:12Well,
00:21:16today is Hafez Day.
00:21:19Hafez is a bit different
00:21:22for us Iranians
00:21:26compared to all our literati and poets.
00:21:30Hafez is a part of our
00:21:34Iranian-Islamic culture and civilization. I congratulate
00:21:37all Iranians, all those
00:21:41who love Iranian culture,
00:21:44literature, and nobility,
00:21:47on this day. If you agree,
00:21:50Ms. Sharifi, I can open your
00:21:54Hafez
00:21:56yourself. Thank you.
00:22:10Well, I'll read the first two verses.
00:22:26Excellent.
00:22:28He who keeps
00:22:32the side of God's people safe,
00:22:35God keeps him safe from harm
00:22:38in all circumstances.
00:22:40I will not tell
00:22:46the tale of the beloved except to the presence
00:22:51of the beloved, for an acquaintance
00:22:54keeps an acquaintance's words. O heart,
00:22:58live in such a way that if
00:23:01an angel's foot slips, it is kept safe
00:23:05by two hands of prayer. It is your desire
00:23:08that the beloved should not break
00:23:10the covenant, keep the thread
00:23:14so that it may be kept. For this reason,
00:23:17when you see my heart in that curl of hair, tell him with kindness
00:23:21to keep his place. When I told
00:23:24him to keep my heart,
00:23:27what did he say? What can a servant do?
00:23:31May God protect him.
00:23:33Well, to save
00:23:36time, I'll leave the rest to
00:23:40you. Well, if you allow
00:23:43me,
00:23:44let's skip the introduction
00:23:47and go directly to the questions.
00:23:51Of course, I think the best introduction was this divination
00:23:55with Hafez, which said everything that needed to be said.
00:23:57We are at your service at IRIB.
00:24:00In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Greetings to you, Mr. Spokesperson.
00:24:03Good time. The US Secretary of State
00:24:06recently, in his speech in Athens, by referring to
00:24:10Greek history and Western civilization and presenting a distorted
00:24:14interpretation of the Greco-Persian Wars in ancient times,
00:24:18emphasized the necessity of reviving the power
00:24:22and civilizational grandeur of the West. In your opinion,
00:24:25in the current situation of the region and the world, what is the importance
00:24:29of this view of history?
00:24:30Well, look,
00:24:33this speech
00:24:39and the choice of this arrangement by
00:24:43the US Secretary of State must be considered
00:24:46as part of the war waged by the US
00:24:50against Iran and, in a way, against
00:24:54the world. Presenting a completely
00:24:57distorted and twisted
00:25:01interpretation of historical events to
00:25:05justify US warmongering
00:25:08is both
00:25:11dangerous and an injustice
00:25:14to the culture and civilization
00:25:17of Greece.
00:25:21Of course, unintentionally, the US Secretary of State
00:25:23admitted to
00:25:27certain realities, that Iran
00:25:31is not just a
00:25:33piece of land, not just
00:25:37a geography, but a way of being,
00:25:40a concept, an idea
00:25:43that has endured for thousands of years.
00:25:46The continuity of a civilization and culture certainly cannot
00:25:50be achieved through
00:25:53geographical
00:25:57military conquests. The timelessness
00:26:00and continuity of Iran is nothing
00:26:04but its interactivity
00:26:06and
00:26:09mutual engagement. If you
00:26:11look at Pasargadae, you will see
00:26:15signs of all the cultures and civilizations
00:26:19that were known as Iran's rivals
00:26:21in those days. Iranians
00:26:23have always been competitive but also interactive.
00:26:27We have never sought our power
00:26:30and existence
00:26:33in the negation of others. We have even
00:26:36interacted with our rivals.
00:26:39The West today
00:26:42would not have existed
00:26:44semantically if Iranian
00:26:48and Muslim thinkers
00:26:51had not been translators and interpreters
00:26:54of Greek
00:26:56thought during the dark
00:27:00Middle Ages.
00:27:02What connection does today have with Greece?
00:27:06Greece was not just
00:27:08war.
00:27:11It was not just warmongering.
00:27:14Greece was also a civilization
00:27:18of philosophy and culture.
00:27:21Therefore, Iranian civilization has always been established
00:27:24and has endured by connecting
00:27:27and building. Our very own Hafez
00:27:30is one of
00:27:33the civilizational glories of Iran,
00:27:36and from here, I ask Mr. Rubio's
00:27:40advisors to present him with
00:27:44a volume of Hafez's
00:27:46Divan, which has certainly
00:27:50been translated into Cuban Spanish
00:27:54as well, so that he can become acquainted
00:27:56with the delicacy
00:28:00of Iranian civilization and culture.
00:28:04We certainly hope he will not repeat
00:28:06the words he uttered there. Let me also
00:28:10tell you this point.
00:28:14In an era when the world faces US
00:28:18belligerence, talking
00:28:21about ideological and civilizational
00:28:24dualities is a pure mistake. If you
00:28:27want to express ideas based
00:28:30on the clash
00:28:33of civilizations
00:28:35in a different way today, if at that time there was talk
00:28:39of a clash between Islamic and Western civilizations,
00:28:41today
00:28:44you replace it with a clash between Iranian
00:28:48civilization and the West, there is certainly
00:28:51no good intention in it other than legitimizing
00:28:55war and aggression.
00:28:58And the final point is that
00:29:00the US cannot introduce
00:29:04itself as the representative
00:29:07of Western and Greek civilization.
00:29:09I will end
00:29:13my answer to you with this question: Were the two
00:29:15World Wars that occurred
00:29:19among Europeans and engulfed the world
00:29:23a result of conflict
00:29:26and confrontation between Eastern
00:29:29and Western civilizations? Was colonialism
00:29:33the result of conflict and confrontation between East and West? Were the crimes
00:29:36that we faced in these three years
00:29:39the result of confrontation
00:29:43between Iran and the US?
00:29:44And
00:29:48the final point, was the American Revolutionary War
00:29:52that led to American independence against
00:29:54Iranian and Persian civilization or
00:29:58against England?
00:30:02After all, the Americans,
00:30:04those who wrote
00:30:08the speech of the US Secretary of State, were certainly aware
00:30:11of these contradictions, but they deliberately ignored
00:30:15them solely to justify
00:30:19aggression and violence.
00:30:22And
00:30:23certainly,
00:30:26European countries, those who consider themselves
00:30:29heirs
00:30:31of Western civilization, of Greek civilization,
00:30:35certainly have a duty to clarify their positions.
00:30:38The fact that at the same time that
00:30:42the US gives its military aggression
00:30:45against Iran a civilizational cover and framework,
00:30:48it simultaneously launches an unprecedented assault
00:30:52on the very normative
00:30:56and institutional framework that was established
