00:00:00is being done and we come every now and then and start, we try
00:00:04to make changes in its policies where success has not reached the desired level or there are weaknesses,
00:00:07and we try to strengthen what is a strength.
00:00:11The logic of the 32-article document was that in four
00:00:15stages, in each stage,
00:00:18we strengthen some of the issues
00:00:21inside the country so that governance is strengthened and
00:00:25we also expand access
00:00:29within the frameworks of acceptable governance.
00:00:33This logic tries to preserve
00:00:36and strengthen the overall framework of the country's governance. That is, we believe
00:00:40that if this document is fully implemented, not only will access be created, but
00:00:44governance will also improve. Well, this is an important event
00:00:47that we can move forward with
00:00:51this entire path in a uniform way in four defined blocks, four defined stages.
00:00:54Well, one of the stages is that people
00:00:58- that is, there is no need for a behind-the-scenes report.
00:01:01We said, "Sir, such and such a bill has been submitted to the parliament, let the parliament review it."
00:01:04Well, whether such and such a bill has been submitted or not
00:01:08is completely clear. For example, we said that
00:01:11the document decision should be made regarding the content.
00:01:15What does this document mean? It means that
00:01:18there is no difference for the user in the foreign traffic that is being consumed.
00:01:21The user is not concerned with anything, neither price
00:01:25nor quality. This layer is at the operator layer.
00:01:28It's about communications and such. A
00:01:32fee is collected from the operator because I,
00:01:36who pay for traffic, what am I paying for? I'm paying for a
00:01:39series of packages. I want to watch a certain content, I want to watch a certain movie, visit a certain channel,
00:01:43download a certain file, install a certain program,
00:01:46play a certain game. So I'm buying this package because of some content.
00:01:50We said that a portion of this cost should be taken and given to domestic content creators.
00:01:54Whenever people see that in the domestic networks
00:01:58they are working on,
00:02:00the content they are seeing is good content, they create
00:02:04classes, our dear teachers and university professors
00:02:08create university classes. One person goes to teach cooking, another goes to teach
00:02:11handicrafts. Anyone who produces anything, if they get paid for this content production,
00:02:15what does it mean? This document aims to make content produced.
00:02:19Therefore, monitoring this document, in which stage we are, which part
00:02:23has been done, is subject to public
00:02:27oversight.
00:02:30The second stage of this has not been implemented yet. Is that right? This decision on revenues
00:02:33generated from content production is now in the second stage, which
00:02:37apparently has been announced by the council.
00:02:41And it was announced in May last year.
00:02:44This is in the process, which we hope
00:02:47we will have the mechanism for, meaning similar to foreign platforms for content creation,
00:02:51for example, when you create content, it generates income for you.
00:02:54So it will be similar to this.
00:02:58Well, and this itself is an incentive, because in our country,
00:03:02if you use foreign content, because
00:03:04we don't have copyright law,
00:03:07نداریم
00:03:09I don't know how to say it in Persian, author's rights, producer's rights,
00:03:13we don't have them. So, many foreign contents are used.
00:03:17That's why anyone who creates content totally gets lost
00:03:20in a flood of content. Many times, we need to make it economical
00:03:24so that it's attractive for them to produce content. If this content becomes attractive,
00:03:28well, Iranians
00:03:30have been artists since ancient times. From poetry, painting, and
00:03:34various other arts, we need to bring these arts into the virtual space and help the Iranian people
00:03:38to produce content in the virtual space. Then, on
00:03:41the current platforms, this will happen. These content publishing platforms
00:03:44that currently exist are working, and some of them
00:03:48have similar mechanisms. Will this happen on these, or will you, for example,
00:03:52define new platforms? This will happen, but our prediction
00:03:55in this document is that as soon as content production becomes
00:03:59economical, some other platforms will also become justified.
00:04:03For example, gaming platforms.
00:04:06Well, if you pay for a game that teenagers now stream
00:04:10and watch a lot, well, we can have these platforms
00:04:13inside the country. Our own children can broadcast from here, their friends can watch it,
00:04:17and it can also become a source of income for them.
00:04:20Foreign platforms usually, I mean, usually,
00:04:23their rule is based on the ads they get. They earn income from there
00:04:27and give it to the content creator.
00:05:00Their income is traffic. They all have data centers.
00:05:03For example, a big company comes and sets up their own CDNs. Anyone
00:05:07who signs a contract with us, yes, so traffic is a local source of income
00:05:11for them. Secondly, from selling
00:05:14information, that is, from selling your information, which is useful for advertising, for such and such,
00:05:18they have income. And thirdly, from
00:05:21advertising. In our country, we
00:05:24said that no one should sell information because it's people's privacy.
00:05:28Now there are discussions about whether something can be done with people's consent, but right now
00:05:32privacy is the issue. We haven't had traffic sales until now.
00:05:35Well, one of these, and advertising is still there.
00:05:39Right now, some platforms have started working with advertising,
00:05:42but what can make a serious move is to make traffic valuable
00:05:46and to make traffic useful
00:05:49for the content creator so that my content is seen more and becomes more attractive.
00:05:53This traffic issue, which is happening in the world in the form of CDNs,
00:05:56is now on your agenda. Unfiltering
00:06:00foreign platforms, will you announce
00:06:03that? What we have prepared
00:06:06is this 32-article document. We are currently moving forward with this 32-article document.
00:06:10It is here.
00:06:18And maybe by the end of this year or early next year,
00:06:22that period because this was supposed to happen much sooner.
00:06:26This document, I mean, the timeframe we had set was a very compressed
00:06:29timeframe, which due to the country's conditions and
00:06:32various issues that arose, naturally got delayed.
00:06:36But now, we will probably put a review of this document
00:06:39on the agenda by the end of this year. If there is a weakness again,
00:06:43and we see that something is stuck and not progressing, we will try
00:06:47to compensate with a different policy so that the path continues. A number of these
00:06:50platforms will be unfiltered according to this document. In the continuation of the document,
00:06:54we wrote in every section, for example, we said this document should first be negotiated.
00:06:58If the framework of action is accepted, it will be opened. If not,
00:07:02it will go to a different technical model. It has been opened, and various mechanisms are all in the document.
00:07:06Step by step, we specified that,
00:07:08for example, in the first round, we even wrote the name of the platform there.
00:07:42The previous one is rotating. This is an increase in the plan.
00:07:46It is not intended that at least a portion of it will go towards upgrading
00:07:49the quality. I, if I am paying for it, at least want to enjoy
00:07:53it. Look,
00:07:56the quality must be desirable. Since we
00:08:00are the supervisory body here, meaning we are not the implementer, we have
00:08:04actually set various quality parameters in the national information network, and we are constantly
00:08:07evaluating the situation.
00:08:11But
00:08:13the fact that quality must be improved is definitely a correct statement. We
00:08:17must definitely be able to provide services
00:08:20to you according to international standards. This is not my area, but
00:08:24let me also say a point that might help
00:08:28some friends. After all, many
00:08:30of the network's purchases are actually
00:08:34purchases where, for example, you have to buy different antennas and different licenses.
00:08:37After all, these price increases that have occurred,
00:08:41our friends in the ministry are making every effort
00:08:44to give the lowest growth so that the network doesn't collapse. Because if they
00:08:48can't support the network, modernize it,
00:08:52and update it, the quality will get worse every day.
00:08:56That is, this - well, I'm saying this because the Ministry
00:08:59of Communications is in charge of it, so I will limit myself to this brief explanation.
00:09:03But the concern for quality is everyone's concern, both our friends in the Ministry
00:09:06of Communications and us. We are all involved. We are observers to make sure this work gets better, God willing.
00:09:10It is possible that part of this price increase may
00:09:13be used for purposes other than infrastructure development.
00:09:16بشه
00:09:18The main work of communication operators
00:09:22is establishing communication. Well,
00:09:25now, they might also make some entry
00:09:28into digital fields and develop
00:09:31some services, but it's all within the framework of the digital economy.
00:09:35And you have published
00:09:39an evaluation of the performance of domestic and Iranian platforms
00:09:43for several months now. Well, in your report, for example, you mention four messengers
00:09:47that had 1.1 billion views in the first six months
00:09:49of this year. Is that right?
00:09:52How do you see the growth of Iranian platforms, and in
00:09:56this evaluation, do we really have significant platforms
00:09:59that have something to say? Yes, look, our
00:10:02platforms, well, are not just messengers. We have shopping platforms,
00:10:06cryptocurrency platforms, gold selling platforms,
00:10:09and various other things. Specifically, we
00:10:13are doing a big project, which is to rank the different areas that provide services
00:10:17for people. This is the first time such a thing is happening
00:10:20in the country. It's important. People have the right to know
00:10:24that if I am choosing between these three services that provide a service,
00:10:27which one is more secure in terms of cybersecurity?
00:10:30We say group A, group B, group C. You rank them,
00:10:34you give them grades, right? For example, we had banks,
00:10:38we had the issue of platforms for bulk SMS,
00:10:41we have the issue of universities, we have the issue of various platforms.
00:10:44Every week or every other week, there's news like this coming out,
00:10:48and this process has started. This process itself is a
00:10:51very challenging process for
00:11:01messaging. One
00:11:03issue we faced is that after
00:11:06these services were developed,
00:11:09additional services that people needed came onto them,
00:11:13such as Kalaman, for example,
00:11:16electricity services, postal services,
00:11:19and various other services that were added in this area
00:11:23were well received by the people.
00:11:26That is, we now have platforms - well, I won't name them, but let me just give you a few numbers. We have platforms with daily users
00:11:29of, for example, 42 million people. Another one has, for example,
00:11:3325.6 million people. Another one has 22 million people.
00:11:37Another one has 10 million people. That means 10 million people
00:11:41from our country enter this platform daily. Now,
00:11:45some stay for one or two hours, some for 5 minutes, they just
00:11:48come out. That's what we call user engagement
00:11:52with the platform, and that's also increasing.
00:11:55That is, we have a process.
00:11:59I always say one sentence to my colleagues, and I believe in it: wherever
00:12:03we have been able to provide quality service, our people have always
00:12:06preferred Iranian over
00:12:09foreign, if the quality is good.
00:12:13We must
00:12:15make all our platforms,
00:12:19whether messaging, navigation, shopping, or whatever,
00:12:23able to provide
00:12:25a quality service to people. If the service is high-quality, everyone will welcome
00:12:29it. And now this has happened for some of our sectors,
00:12:32thank God.
00:12:35I don't know whether to read the National Information Network today
00:12:39or not. What is your own assessment?
00:12:42Perhaps some think that it doesn't really give us the answer in a crisis situation.
00:12:46What is your own assessment of the National
00:12:49Information Network? What we wanted the National Information Network to be
00:12:52was far beyond this. That is, we wanted
00:12:56to tell people, "Don't worry, whatever happens,
00:12:59we have a high-quality system." Now, we put the Internet on it.
00:13:03If someone puts cloud services on it,
00:13:07cloud services are on it. We have a high-quality system
00:13:10that if
00:13:13all problems arise at once,
00:13:16our basic services will not be harmed. That is, your messaging system,
00:13:20your banking system, your shopping system,
00:13:23all of these are working stably.
00:13:28And no one can bother you. It is our duty
00:13:31to tell people that we will not let anyone bother you. We are here to protect
00:13:34this. We are still far from that.
00:13:38Well, honestly, some parts are still lagging behind, some parts have progressed well.
00:13:42But the point is that many people believed
00:13:46that we are totally reliant on the internet. We are using APIs.
00:13:49For example,
00:13:52last year's experience showed us
00:13:55that if decision-making bodies, for whatever
00:13:58reason, imposed restrictions on the network,
00:14:01well, people's internet taxis,
00:14:04people's stores, people's banking services, and so on,
00:14:08these are stable. That is, these
00:14:11did not create a sense of disruption for people after a month, after two months, after
00:14:15some time, and they were able to watch their series
00:14:19on the domestic entertainment network. Yes, certainly these
00:14:23restrictions caused problems for many
00:14:55of our compatriots. Despite all the fluctuations we had in service delivery,
00:14:58sometimes the operations carried out by the enemy
00:15:02truly hit a brick wall. Whatever operation they carried out,
00:15:06people made jokes about it, and this created a lot of psychological
00:15:09calm for the country. Thank you very much for
00:15:12your presence, Dr. for your presence in tonight's special news interview
00:15:16and the valuable points you raised. Thank you very much
00:15:20for joining us and watching this interview.
00:15:23Good night and goodbye.
00:16:03are with us in this interview. I want to ask you about
00:16:06the recent protests in Germany. What are the main reasons
00:16:10for these protests in Germany, and what are the demands
00:16:13of the protesters?
00:16:16The protests known as the "Generation Z" protests were held in over 30 cities
00:16:20in Germany, including Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and
00:16:24all major cities in the country. According to various reports,
00:16:27between 120,000 and 130,000
00:16:31people participated in these protests.
00:16:33In many cities, the protests were somewhat
00:16:36peaceful, but in some cities, the police
00:16:40used severe repressive tactics against the protesters,
00:16:43including in Berlin, Frankfurt, and several other cities.
00:16:47One of the main demands of the protesters is the reduction or cessation
00:16:50of military spending and, conversely, an increase
00:16:54in the budget for social welfare, education,
00:16:57and similar areas. The protesters and youth
00:17:00say that the German government, instead of investing in education,
00:17:03social welfare, and creating job opportunities, is increasingly
00:17:07spending more money on warmongering policies. These
00:17:11are among the most important demands of the protesters.
00:17:15Also, it cannot be denied that a large part, or at least
00:17:19a significant part, of the participants are supporters
00:17:22of Palestine. Therefore, some people also joined these protests
00:17:26to declare their support for Palestine and generally
00:17:29protest against warmongering policies. This is a general
00:17:33overview of the protests. Of course, the composition of the protesters
00:17:38is very diverse. Various political actors,
00:17:41from leftist forces to non-leftist movements,
00:17:45are present in these protests. I read in
00:17:48the news that the protesters are talking about their economic problems.
00:17:52In your opinion, are Germany's current economic problems
00:17:56related to the war against Iran and the closure of the Strait
00:17:59of Hormuz?
00:18:00داره؟
00:18:04A very interesting point is this:
00:18:08The German Chancellor spoke about this very issue
00:18:11in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. He said that Europe
00:18:15has incurred an additional cost of about 100
00:18:18billion euros due to the war against Iran.
00:18:22Therefore, the war against Iran has had significant
00:18:25and direct economic consequences in Europe.
00:18:28Unfortunately, the burden of these consequences and the costs of war
00:18:32are placed on the shoulders of the hardworking people and workers of this country,
00:18:35not on the shoulders of the ruling class and the political elites of Germany.
00:18:39آلمان.
00:18:42In your remarks, you referred to the statements of Chancellor
00:18:46Friedrich Merz of Germany regarding the economic consequences
00:18:50of the war against Iran and the sharp increase in energy prices. When
00:18:53the United States and the Zionist regime launched their military attacks
00:18:56against Iran, he welcomed these attacks.
00:19:00However, he recently said that diplomacy and negotiations
00:19:03between Iran and the United States are a better option than military action.
00:19:07How do you analyze
00:19:09this shift in position?
00:19:14In my opinion, this change in stance is directly related
00:19:17to two factors. First, the Islamic Republic of Iran was able
00:19:21to resist these attacks and show
00:19:24that it has enough resilience to stand against
00:19:28them. It soon became clear that the operation
00:19:31known as regime change and the war that the United States, Israel, and the imperialist
00:19:35Western powers
00:19:37launched against Iran had actually failed. In my opinion, this
00:19:41was the first reality that Friedrich Merz and the Western
00:19:45imperialist ruling class realized. But they very
00:19:48soon realized that this war would also have economic consequences
00:19:52for them. The control of the Strait of Hormuz
00:19:55by Iran had created a new reality. They
00:19:58realized that they had to accept this new reality. Yes,
00:20:02the change in tone of many European powers was completely
00:20:05clear within the first few days. Friedrich Merz
00:20:09was one of them. Germany claims
00:20:13that in this war, it only provides political and diplomatic support
00:20:17to Israel and the United States, and is not directly involved
00:20:20in the war. However, this claim is completely false,
00:20:23because Germany is one of the main centers of logistical and
00:20:27communication support for managing this entire war against Iran and West
00:20:31Asia. In southwestern Germany, there is a US Air Force
00:20:35base called Ramstein, which is the largest
00:20:38US military base outside the country. This base
00:20:41is directly responsible for the European and African regions, and
00:20:45is also one of the main command centers for NATO operations.
00:20:48Since the United States is far from West Asia,
00:20:52it is this Ramstein Air Base that provides direct satellite communications
00:20:55with drones and missiles that land
00:20:59in Iran and other parts of the region, because Ramstein is closer
00:21:03to West Asia. Therefore, this base, in addition
00:21:06to its role as a logistical support center, plays a very
00:21:10crucial role in this entire war. This logistical role
00:21:13includes the transfer of military personnel, equipment,
00:21:17weapons, and other supplies from the United States to West Asia.
00:21:20These two countries work completely complementary in this regard.
00:21:24Therefore, Germany plays a very pivotal role in the war against
00:21:28Iran.
00:21:30We have witnessed instances of police violence against protesters in Germany.
00:21:34How do you assess the response of the German government and police
00:21:37to these protests? What is your opinion
00:21:40on the government saying that it supports peaceful assemblies?
00:21:44But we are seeing that the police are committing violent acts
00:21:48against protesters.
00:22:01This is a very important and at the same time very extensive issue. As you rightly
00:22:05pointed out, here we are witnessing
00:22:08brutal police violence, especially against
00:22:11the pro-Palestinian movement and the anti-war movement.
00:22:14The Palestinian movement comes out to the streets almost every other day
00:22:18across the country, and everywhere it faces severe police violence.
00:22:21Women, young girls, young boys, and even
00:22:25elderly women all face brutal police violence.
00:22:29Countless videos of young women and girls being beaten
00:22:32by the police, pushed around, and physically
00:22:36abused have been published. From this perspective, it can be said
00:22:39that the violence committed in Germany against the pro-Palestinian movement and the anti-war movement
00:22:43clearly exposes the true face of the West
00:22:47and Germany and reveals the lies they repeat about themselves.
00:22:51That they are the champions of democracy, freedom,
00:22:53equality, and human rights.
00:22:57In reality, all of this has been nothing but a mask.
00:23:01This so-called mask of liberal democracy has now
00:23:04been completely removed.
00:23:05رفته.
00:23:08How do you predict the future of protests in Germany in the coming weeks and months?
00:23:12And can these protests turn into a broader social and political
00:23:16movement or not?
00:23:23If I'm correct, new rounds of protests, dubbed "Generation
00:23:26Z" protests, are scheduled for November 14 and 20.
00:23:30However, at the moment, it's difficult for me to say where these protests
00:23:33will go in their current form. First of all, there are already
00:23:37many protests happening across Germany.
00:23:41For example, promising strikes are taking place in schools.
00:23:44Students and pupils are taking to the streets
00:23:48to oppose the warmongering policies of the government and the country.
00:23:51Also, there is a very powerful movement in support of
00:23:55Palestine and against the war, which takes to the streets every week.
00:23:58In Berlin, this movement holds rallies almost twice a week,
00:24:02and similar protests are ongoing across
00:24:05the country. In addition, the peace movement
00:24:09is also active. Therefore, we are witnessing various
00:24:12types of protests and movements. This situation shows
00:24:15that political awareness in Germany, especially in opposition
00:24:19to aggressive policies, is on the rise. I cannot say
00:24:22with certainty that this movement will definitely continue
00:24:25in the form of these Generation Z protests. These protests
00:24:29have a very diverse nature, and their organizational method
00:24:33is also different from the protests in France
00:24:35and other countries.
00:24:38Finally, I want to ask you about the economic consequences of the war against Iran at
00:24:42the global level. What impact will this war have on the global economy,
00:24:46especially the economy of the United States and European countries? Let me
00:24:54put it briefly. First, I am a political economist, and I think
00:24:57this is a very good question. Overall, I believe that the global economy
00:25:01has been in a deep crisis since 2007 and 2008,
00:25:04that is, since the bursting of the financial bubble in
00:25:07the United States. A crisis whose consequences were felt all over the world. During
00:25:11this period, we have seen a significant change in the foreign policy of Western
00:25:14countries. These countries have become increasingly aggressive
00:25:18towards various countries, including Russia, Iran, and especially China,
00:25:21as well as South American countries. The meaning of this situation
00:25:25is that the economic elites, the capitalist class, and the imperialist
00:25:28class around the world have come to the conclusion that in the midst of this
00:25:32economic crisis, militarization and the allocation of large
00:25:36budgets of billions and billions of dollars
00:25:39to the development of missiles, tanks, fighter jets, and other weapons
00:25:43has now become a more profitable area than investing in the real
00:25:46and productive economy. An economy that must be humane
00:25:50and serve the needs of the people. This is what we are generally
00:25:54witnessing. Warmongering policies against
00:25:57Russia, warmongering against Iran, and a confrontational approach
00:26:01against China are not accidental events unrelated
00:26:04to each other, but rather have a direct connection
00:26:07to the deep economic crisis. With the start of Russia's special military
00:26:11operation in 2022, Europe's economic crisis,
00:26:14and especially Germany's, had already intensified. Now, with the war against Iran
00:26:18and also the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, this crisis
00:26:21has taken on broader dimensions. However, this situation is actually
00:26:25a deep and structural deadlock that capitalism and Western
00:26:28countries are trapped in. These countries are facing serious
00:26:31economic challenges due to the competition of new and developing
00:26:35countries. Countries that are progressing peacefully,
00:26:39including China, and the West no longer have the ability to compete
00:26:42with them. On the other hand, these countries have no choice
00:26:46but to continue investing in militarization, and they have become
00:26:50increasingly dependent on this path. For example,
00:26:53Volkswagen, Germany's largest automaker, is facing
00:26:56such a deep crisis that it is now completely shifting
00:27:00its entire production line towards military production and weapons
00:27:03development. That's why it is establishing a direct partnership
00:27:07and alliance with Israel. As a result of this war
00:27:10and its continuation, we will also see a deepening of the economic crisis.
00:27:14A crisis whose costs will be borne by the working class. This
00:27:18means lower wages, job losses, inflation,
00:27:21and similar consequences. On the other hand, these countries will increasingly
00:27:25move towards warmongering and aggressive policies.

00:30:22Good evening to you, dear and respected compatriots. Hopefully, the spokesperson
00:30:26of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered the claim of
00:30:29diplomatic initiative in the letter from Trump's deputy to
00:30:33Major General Rezaei to be contrary to warmongering
00:30:36and repeated violations of the White House's commitments
00:30:39and clarified that the basis of the talks is Iran's
00:30:43seven-step plan and the ball is in America's
00:30:47court. For us, the performance of the US government is
00:30:49important.
00:30:52So far, America has shown that in the field of diplomacy, it not only
00:30:56has no initiative, but also
