00:00:00it was England anyway. These contradictions were
00:00:04certainly known to the Americans
00:00:08who wrote the speech of the US Secretary of State,
00:00:11but they deliberately ignored them
00:00:15merely to justify
00:00:19aggression and violence.
00:00:22And
00:00:23definitely,
00:00:26European countries, those who consider themselves the legacy
00:00:31of Western civilization and Greek civilization, definitely have a duty
00:00:35in this regard to clarify their positions. This means
00:00:39that at the same time that
00:00:42America gives a civilizational cover and framework
00:00:45to its military aggression against Iran, at the same time,
00:00:48it launches an unprecedented attack on
00:00:52the same normative and
00:00:56institutional framework that
00:00:58was established after World War II. What does
00:01:01this mean? These are questions that
00:01:04everyone,
00:01:07especially Western parties, must endure
00:01:11and answer. Ms. Irana,
00:01:13please speak.
00:01:16Hello, Mr. Spokesperson, good day to you. Mr. Spokesperson, the US President
00:01:20has recently repeatedly claimed in various statements
00:01:23that the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its normal course
00:01:27in energy transfer. And various analyses
00:01:30are published about the transfer of oil from different countries from the north and
00:01:33south of this strait, and it is claimed that
00:01:37Iran has lost its leverage in this region. What is the view
00:01:41of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this regard? What is happening in this waterway?
00:01:44Thank you.
00:01:51Today is Hafez Day,
00:01:52isn't it?
00:01:55Of course, this poem is not by Hafez, but it says
00:01:59that one
00:02:01asked: "O camel, from
00:02:05where do you come, O blessed one?" He said, "From the warm bath
00:02:08of your street." He said, "It is evident from your knee."
00:02:12The claims of the Americans
00:02:15do not correspond
00:02:17to what we are witnessing on the ground.
00:02:21They can continue to say
00:02:25that the Strait of Hormuz no longer has
00:02:27any effect.
00:02:30Iran has lost its leverage. We
00:02:34will do our job. I don't think
00:02:37the markets are going to pay much attention to such
00:02:41claims. The market has
00:02:44its own rules and laws. And the events that are happening
00:02:47internationally, the fact that they resort
00:02:50to other countries to supply their fuel, speaks volumes.
00:02:54But let me clarify that the incident
00:02:58that happened in the Strait of Hormuz
00:03:01was not for leverage.
00:03:04What we witnessed in the Strait of Hormuz since
00:03:08March 9th was
00:03:12the direct result of the actions of America and the Zionist regime in attacking
00:03:15Iran. They exploited this waterway,
00:03:18where Iran
00:03:20has the longest coastline, to attack
00:03:24Iran. And in these circumstances, based on the provisions of international
00:03:28law, we have taken a set of measures.
00:03:32As long as America insists
00:03:35on continuing to destabilize this waterway
00:03:38and region through naval blockade,
00:03:41economic warfare, all those things they
00:03:45pride themselves on, and all of which constitute military aggression
00:03:49against a country, well,
00:03:52security will not return to this waterway
00:03:55at all. We are not happy with this situation because
00:03:58the security of the Strait of Hormuz
00:04:01is necessary for us
00:04:05more than anyone else. But what can we do when America, with this aggressive
00:04:08action, has
00:04:11caused trouble
00:04:14for the region, for itself, and
00:04:18for the world? This fact, this reality, must be
00:04:21constantly kept
00:04:23alive
00:04:26before the world so that they know the factor and
00:04:39Dr., we witnessed the Iranian Cultural Week in
00:04:43Russia, which has concluded. Given
00:04:46the recent developments in Tehran-Moscow relations,
00:04:49what role can the Iranian Cultural Week in Russia play
00:04:53in strengthening the interactions between the two countries?
00:04:57Thank you.
00:05:00Cultural cooperation between Iran and
00:05:02Russia is itself a sign
00:05:05of the depth and
00:05:09breadth of good relations between the two countries. And
00:05:12it can reciprocally pave the way
00:05:16for strengthening relations in all areas, in political,
00:05:19economic, and commercial fields.
00:05:23Well, this week
00:05:25I mean, the Iranian Cultural Week
00:05:29in Russia was one of the most magnificent cultural events
00:05:33we have had in recent years. It was held in four
00:05:36cities of Russia, and if you remember,
00:05:39before that,
00:05:42we had the Russian Cultural Week in Iran.
00:05:45I would like to thank
00:05:49both the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, the Organization of Culture
00:05:52and Communications, and my colleagues who, with a very good
00:05:56planning, succeeded
00:05:58in presenting
00:06:00a part of
00:06:03Iran's cultural assets to the Russian
00:06:06audience.
00:06:09From the host.
00:06:36What is the position of the Islamic Republic regarding Mr. Putin's declaration of readiness
00:06:39to supply oil and oil products
00:06:43for the world markets and especially the American market?
00:06:46Thank you. You were coordinated.
00:06:49بودید
00:06:52Let me tell you that, well,
00:06:56every country can make decisions
00:06:58in line with its own interests and benefits.
00:07:02It is natural that we,
00:07:06as the Islamic Republic of Iran, make decisions
00:07:10on every issue based on our
00:07:13own priorities and interests. In this regard, it is
00:07:17an issue between Russia
00:07:20and America.
00:07:23But apart from the discussions on relations,
00:07:26it is interesting to me
00:07:29that in the context, in fact, in response to a question
00:07:33from another friend about the Strait of Hormuz,
00:07:37well, that itself is meaningful.
00:07:39If there was no problem and the problem had been solved, how
00:07:43should the American side reach out
00:07:46to the Russian side to solve
00:07:49some of its problems?
00:07:52Fars:
00:07:55فارس
00:07:58Hello, Mr. Bakaii, good day. Mr. Bakaii,
00:08:01Mr. Araqchi recently stated that we are reviewing America's views
00:08:05on Iran's seven-day plan, and we will soon,
00:08:08in the coming days, provide an answer. Mr. Mohsen Rezaei, the Secretary of the Council,
00:08:17stated that the Americans' response is not really acceptable to us and is not enough. I want to know if Iran has indeed
00:08:21provided its response, after receiving the Americans' response,
00:08:25to the mediators, and if so, can you please
00:08:28elaborate on the details of the American response, what topics it covered?
00:08:32Thank you.
00:08:34متشکرم
00:08:39I can tell you that the exchange
00:08:42of messages through mediators
00:08:46between Iran and America continues.
00:08:49What was brought up on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting
00:08:53was referred to as Iran's seven-day plan.
00:08:57It was a demand for Iran's legitimate
00:09:00rights, and much has been said about it.
00:09:04These seven points
00:09:06include
00:09:10lifting the naval blockade,
00:09:12stopping the war on all fronts, and releasing
00:09:16Iran's assets. In short,
00:09:19if I want to tell you the summary, everything that we had agreed upon
00:09:23in the framework of the memorandum of understanding, well, these are issues
00:09:26that will be brought up as Iran's rights
00:09:30in any negotiation.
00:09:33The situation has not changed for us to want
00:09:37to show flexibility regarding our
00:09:40rights. In addition,
00:09:48all these sanctions should logically be lifted.
00:09:51The American side has also previously
00:09:54stated its demands. Their claim
00:09:57is that their main concern is still Iran's nuclear issue.
00:10:01Well, let's skip the big contradiction
00:10:04that has been created, because they have
00:10:08announced several times that they have destroyed Iran's entire nuclear program,
00:10:11but still
00:10:14raise the phantom threat of Iran's nuclear weapon. They have raised
00:10:18their concerns in this regard.
00:10:20This point that has been raised that it was not insufficient
00:10:24or that we have announced our positions, well, this
00:10:28is a correct point.
00:10:30Our position is that
00:10:32in the current situation,
00:10:36we must consider priorities.
00:10:40Ending America's interventionist
00:10:44and aggressive actions is not something new.
00:10:47We have said it before. The American parties have also been informed
00:10:50through mediators. We also stated it quickly. But anyway, regarding
00:10:56the points they raised, we
00:10:59are reviewing them, and as soon as our review is complete,
00:11:03we will convey it to the mediators.
00:11:05Hello, Mr. Bagha, good day.
00:11:09Mr. Bagha, yesterday evening, Mr. Araqchi
00:11:12and the Saudi Foreign Minister had a telephone conversation. This telephone conversation took place
00:11:16while we see how the situation in Yemen
00:11:19is and what is happening.
00:11:23I wanted to talk about this telephone conversation,
00:11:27what its content and details
00:11:30were, and that
00:11:33this morning a report was also published by the Wall Street Journal
00:11:37stating that the Saudi Crown Prince emphasized that diplomatic channels
00:11:41with Iran should be maintained, but he welcomes
00:11:44increasing economic pressure on Iran
00:11:48and has emphasized this issue. I wanted you to talk about this as well. Thank you.
00:11:52Well, it is natural that the media have their own analyses
00:11:55and claims.
00:11:58But regarding the
00:12:01talks that took place last night, yes,
00:12:04consultations between Iran and the countries of the region
00:12:08are an ongoing
00:12:11matter. We
00:12:14are severely concerned about the events that are happening
00:12:18in the Arabian Peninsula. We have repeatedly
00:12:22announced our readiness to
00:12:26use our good offices to help
00:12:29facilitate dialogue between the parties. We believe
00:12:33that the continuation and escalation of tensions
00:12:37will only benefit
00:12:39the Zionist regime
00:12:42in the region. For this reason,
00:12:44we do not at all approve of
00:12:48the continuation
00:12:49of fire
00:12:53and war between two Islamic countries. Our region is already
00:12:57facing tensions due to the actions of the US and the Zionist regime.
00:13:01At the same time, we have always expressed our position
00:13:05that the people of Yemen
00:13:08have the right to live a dignified
00:13:11life, free from
00:13:13pressure, sanctions, and blockade. What we have witnessed
00:13:17in the past 10-12 years is
00:13:21something that is not
00:13:26justifiable from an Islamic
00:13:29point of view, nor from the perspective of international law.
00:13:33In any case, in yesterday's conversation,
00:13:36we also announced our readiness to help
00:13:39resolve the issue through
00:13:43dialogue.
00:13:46Quds: Dr., first of all, I thank you for the precious gift you gave,
00:13:50the valuable divan of Lisan
00:13:54al-Ghaib, Hazrat Hafez. Thank you. My question is a continuation of my colleague's question.
00:13:57In the events that occurred in recent days,
00:14:00we witnessed the publication of horrific
00:14:04and genocidal scenes in Yemen.
00:14:08I would like to know your opinion on this matter
00:14:11and the legal and international responsibility
00:14:14that these events create
00:14:17and are prosecutable.
00:14:20I think
00:14:23I have already answered.
00:14:35was done, they would solve it. You know that a roadmap had been agreed
00:14:39upon between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, and we
00:14:42had
00:14:45also emphasized that we support the implementation
00:14:48of whatever you yourselves have agreed upon.
00:14:50Well, that did not happen, if you remember. It happened
00:14:59at Sanaa airport, and at that time,
00:15:01we also expressed deep concern that this incident might
00:15:05escalate the situation, and now we
00:15:08are witnessing that, unfortunately, this situation
00:15:11has occurred.
00:15:14Our request
00:15:18is that
00:15:20this situation
00:15:24really be resolved
00:15:28through dialogue
00:15:31and interaction. As I said, such a situation
00:15:35is definitely not
00:15:39for the good and well-being of the Islamic
00:15:42Ummah and our region.
00:15:44Tasnim:
00:15:47Hello and respect to you, Dr. After
00:15:50the consultations between the presidents of Iran and Russia in Turkmenistan,
00:15:54we witnessed a phone call between Mr. Putin and Trump, and it was said that
00:15:58Iran's positions on resolving tensions between Iran
00:16:01and the US were conveyed to the US President.
00:16:05Also, news has been published about Russia's willingness
00:16:08to mediate between
00:16:12Iran and the US. Did Russia present a specific plan in its meeting with
00:16:15Mr. Pezeshkian and Mr. Putin? And
00:16:19did Mr. Putin convey a message to Iran after his phone call
00:16:22and consultations with Trump?
00:16:25Thank you. Our consultations with Russia
00:16:28on various issues, including the nuclear issue,
00:16:32are not new. Russia played a very
00:16:35positive and effective role in
00:16:38the 2015 nuclear agreement and
00:16:42still maintains its interest
00:16:45in resolving the issue.
00:16:49The
00:16:52relationship based on mutual trust
00:16:55is also one
00:16:57of the
00:16:59assets that exist between the two countries, and
00:17:02we certainly, both sides, are determined
00:17:06to maintain this good relationship.
00:17:09In the conversation
00:17:11that took place between the two presidents
00:17:15on the sidelines of the summit
00:17:18in Avaza, Turkmenistan,
00:17:22our country's president expressed our positions,
00:17:25and once
00:17:27again,
00:17:30he elaborated on Iran's seven-day plan and
00:17:33also on the considerations and points that exist
00:17:37regarding the overall issue. Given
00:17:40that the Russian President
00:17:43was apparently going to have a phone call
00:17:47with his American counterpart, well, this conversation took place before that.
00:17:51But this expression of positions by his American counterpart
00:17:54was also made. Well, this conversation took place before that.
00:17:57But this expression of positions, hectare by Afghanistan,
00:18:01was raised by one of the members of parliament.
00:18:04Given that we also have challenges
00:18:08with Afghanistan regarding water issues,
00:18:12and discussions have been held, I would like to know if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was aware of these consultations
00:18:15and what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' position is on this plan.
00:18:19I think they explained it themselves.
00:18:22This was truly
00:18:26a clear misunderstanding
00:18:30that arose
00:18:33from
00:18:35the statements
00:18:39of one of the honorable members
00:18:42of parliament, which is to provide facilities to landlocked countries
00:18:46that do not have access to open waters,
00:18:49in the form of leases,
00:18:52in order to both help
00:18:55promote trade between
00:18:58the two countries and,
00:19:02within the framework of good neighborliness, help those countries
00:19:04to have
00:19:07access to
00:19:10ports and open waters
00:19:13for the purpose of carrying out their commercial transactions. This is actually
00:19:17one
00:19:20of the positive initiatives. And
00:19:23regarding Afghanistan, of course,
00:19:26this issue has not been officially raised. It was raised
00:19:30on the sidelines of a formal meeting that one of the ministers had
00:19:34with Afghanistan. And we also said
00:19:37that we will review it, but I emphasize
00:19:41that those discussions and arguments
00:19:44about ceding land and so on have no
00:19:48basis at all.
00:19:50The policy
00:19:53of the day. Greetings. Hello, good time.
00:19:57Regarding the fact that the UN Secretary-General, while on the anniversary of October 7th,
00:20:00refrained from condemning the destruction and genocide in Gaza,
00:20:04and also did not condemn the attacks on Iranian infrastructure
00:20:08and civilians during the Ramadan War, he recently condemned
00:20:11the attack on the Saudi airport and considered
00:20:15the attack on civilians and civilian infrastructure a violation
00:20:19of international law.
00:20:23I wanted to ask about the diplomatic apparatus's reaction
00:20:26to this double standard. We also saw this
00:20:29in the European countries, meaning we also saw
00:20:33this double standard in European countries
00:20:36while Donald Trump keeps talking
00:20:40about destroying, according to his claims, destroying Iran's
00:20:43infrastructure, but sometimes we
00:20:46see that when Riyadh airport is targeted,
00:20:50European countries remain silent regarding Trump's claims,
00:20:53but they react
00:20:57to these attacks. I wanted to know the diplomatic
00:21:00apparatus's reaction. Well, my reaction is regret,
00:21:03isn't it? This is not the first time
00:21:06we are witnessing double
00:21:09standards regarding international
00:21:12issues, especially in
00:21:16relation to issues related to human rights violations
00:21:19and human rights violations.
00:21:22The fact that international officials,
00:21:26especially the Secretary-General of the United Nations
00:21:29or senior officials of other international institutions
00:21:33who believe that the least they have
00:21:37is a voice, and they
00:21:40use this voice selectively,
00:21:43well, it is regrettable.
00:21:46But its consequences will affect
00:21:50everyone. If you act in a one-sided
00:21:53and selective manner
00:21:57regarding lawlessness and
00:21:59violations of international law, you are simply encouraging
00:22:03lawlessness, just as
00:22:06the situation we faced in Gaza over the past three years,
00:22:10an obvious genocide, was unfortunately ignored
00:22:12by European parties and the United Nations.
00:22:16The result has been
00:22:20the spread of war-mongering in the world, and now we see
00:22:23that even those who have a hand
00:22:26in the fire from a distance are not warmed by this fire,
00:22:30this fire is burning their hands.
00:22:57Why does Nature magazine say the Australian fires
00:23:01are the fault of the British? A
00:23:03multi-year case that after the failure of police forces
00:23:07was handed over to different detectives. University professors
00:23:10at Melbourne asked why the fire alarm
00:23:14rings so often in Australian forests.
00:23:17Especially in the southeast.
00:23:41Using a special tube, they extracted a cylinder
00:23:45of mud from the lakebed, which helped them to
00:23:48examine the crime scene in a few.
00:24:06The same very tiny seeds that are responsible for fertilizing
00:24:10plants, and of course, are allergy triggers for some
00:24:13of us. But what you might not know is the extremely
00:24:17hard shell of these pollen grains. Unlike vulnerable
00:24:20plants, pollen grains have a shell that neither decomposes easily
00:24:23nor dissolves easily, and can remain
00:24:27for thousands of years. Pollen grains are carried
00:24:30by wind and water currents. Therefore, an abundance
00:24:34of pollen from plants from far and
00:24:38near can be found in a sedimentary layer.
00:24:40In short, examining a sedimentary layer of lake mud and
00:24:44identifying the types and abundance of pollen
00:24:48provides us with a rough picture of the vegetation cover of the region
00:24:52during a specific historical period. Researchers at the University
00:24:56of Melbourne used this method to reconstruct a thousand-year
00:24:59historical period of vegetation cover in southeastern Australia.
00:25:03But their work was not just about mapping
00:25:07vegetation. They also wanted to find
00:25:10the pattern of fires. So, they selected
00:25:1319 samples of charcoal remaining
00:25:16in sediments to determine the quality of the fuel.
00:25:20The
00:25:24result was this: during an 800-year
00:25:28period, most fires resulted from the burning of grassy plants and a small
00:25:31amount of woody material. Whereas, from the mid-19th
00:25:35century, the pattern changed. Charcoal samples show
00:25:38that fires from this period onwards were mostly caused
00:25:42by the burning of shrubs and eucalyptus trees.
00:25:45What change occurred? University of Melbourne researchers
00:25:49realized that Australia's vegetation,
00:25:52which until then was mostly grasslands, had changed
00:25:55and become dense forests. So, if a fire
00:25:59occurred, it was more destructive because of the combustible materials.
00:26:21The arrival of the British. Before the British government sent
00:26:24Captain James Cook to explore eastern Australia
00:26:28and establish its colonial rule there,
00:26:32the people of this region managed the forests
00:26:35in a different way. They would set small,
00:26:39controlled fires at different times
00:26:42to manage both the diversity and density of vegetation
00:26:46and to prevent uncontrollable
00:26:50blazes. But when
00:26:53the British arrived, the practice changed. On the one hand,
00:26:57they cut down trees in some places to create
00:27:00suitable land for agriculture. And on the other hand,
00:27:04they abandoned some areas and did not allow
00:27:07the indigenous people to manage the forested areas
00:27:10in their own way. These forests entered a cycle
00:27:14of fire that continues to this day. So, after
00:27:17hotter fires, only species like eucalyptus sprout,
00:27:21which make the forests denser and also
00:27:24provide more combustible material for subsequent
00:27:28fires. This is a quote from the Nature article. Colonizers
00:27:32called Australia an ownerless land and, by
00:27:36justifying the confiscation of land, they devalued the inherent wisdom
00:27:40in indigenous knowledge.
00:27:43both changed Australia's vegetation and, by erasing
00:27:47indigenous culture, planted the seed of fire
00:27:51in this land.
00:29:39Good evening, esteemed viewers. Welcome to the 11 o'clock news. The academic year for universities
00:29:43began in a ceremony attended by the President. The President, in this ceremony,
00:29:46emphasizing unity and cohesion, called on everyone to act
00:29:50with skill and determination to solve the country's problems.
00:29:53Mr. Pezeshkian also spoke about quasi-governmental and loss-making companies,
00:29:57saying that these companies, despite having thousands
00:30:00of billions in capital,
00:30:03are losing money and, at the same time, their management receives hundreds
00:30:06of billions. The President continued by stating
00:30:10that the transportation of gasoline costs more than its current selling price.
