00:00:18Good morning, dear viewers. You are with the news section at
00:00:219 from the public relations news network of the IRGC. In a statement,
00:00:25the IRGC announced that two oil tankers and
00:00:28a tugboat caught fire due to passing through the unauthorized route
00:00:32of the Strait of Hormuz and taking control of two
00:00:36Lucas drones of the terrorist American army. The IRGC
00:00:39in this statement, referring to the provocative
00:00:42actions of America for unauthorized passage
00:00:45of vessels, announced that attempts to
00:00:48break the law in the Strait of Hormuz will only result
00:00:52in more financial losses and bigger political defeats for
00:00:56America. Also, in the
00:00:59IRGC's statement, it was mentioned that the fighters of the
00:01:02electronic warfare unit of the IRGC Navy were able to take control
00:01:05of the guidance of two trespassing aircraft
00:01:09of the Lucas type and land them safely
00:01:12and capture them as spoils of war.
00:01:15The unity of the nation
00:01:18is the secret to defeating the American
00:01:21enemy. The people present in the gatherings on the eve of
00:01:24the 25th night of presence in the squares emphasized
00:01:28unity and steadfastness until the final defeat of the enemy.
00:01:31Look at the squares, look at
00:01:35the streets, see the patriotic people,
00:01:39millions and millions. Why
00:01:42is the enemy afraid of people being in the streets?
00:01:45They are afraid of our unity. Our standing on
00:01:49the scene means filling the void. There is no
00:01:53country where a foreigner can set foot. The presence
00:01:56and power of the people come from these people.
00:02:09Because whenever there was a war, especially a war with the Islamic
00:02:12world, America was involved. America
00:02:16has a colonial nature; it wants to take more,
00:02:19plunder more. In general, the American system
00:02:23is based on wanting to dominate other countries.
00:02:26We are witnessing this domination.
00:04:00The house and den of spies was
00:04:04destroyed.
00:04:08The deadline for registration for the semi-centralized PhD entrance exam for the academic year
00:04:121406 ends tomorrow. Applicants can register
00:04:15on the website of the Evaluation Organization at
00:04:19sanjesh.org. The specialized PhD
00:04:22exam for the year 146 will be held
00:04:25on Friday, February 16th, this year. The
00:04:27Yemeni Ministry of Health announced
00:04:29that in the attacks by Saudi warplanes on Yemen in the
00:04:33past 12 hours, 12 civilians were martyred and
00:04:3615 others were injured. According to the ministry,
00:04:39on Wednesday evening also, a residential building in
00:04:43western Taiz in southwestern Yemen was targeted by a Saudi
00:04:46airstrike, which led to the martyrdom of seven civilians,
00:04:50including two children. Six children
00:04:53were also injured. According to the Yemeni Ministry of Health, since
00:04:57the beginning of the new round of tensions due to Saudi attacks
00:05:01on various regions of Yemen, 26
00:05:04Yemeni civilians, including 86 children and
00:05:0838 women, have been martyred.
00:05:19After food stores, French blood banks
00:05:22were also targeted by a cyberattack. The French Blood Transfusion Organization
00:05:26announced that cooling equipment managed
00:05:29by 3 centers of the Blood Transfusion Organization was targeted
00:05:32by a cyberattack. This organization is a blood
00:05:36transfusion operator in France that collects, tests, prepares, and distributes
00:05:39products such as blood, plasma, and platelets to more than
00:05:43190 hospitals to support more than
00:05:46one million patients. In recent days,
00:05:50cyberattacks on refrigerators and freezers in several
00:05:54European countries, including Sweden, Belgium, Italy,
00:05:58Germany, Romania, and England, have been reported, and as a result, stores in these
00:06:01countries were forced to throw away huge amounts of
00:06:05food. With a report, let's return
00:06:09to our country. The harvest of pomegranates from
00:06:12the gardens of Golestan province has begun. Golestan has 2,000
00:06:16hectares of pomegranate orchards, and it is predicted that this year more than
00:06:1928,000 tons of pomegranate will be produced in this province.
00:06:23It's pomegranate harvest
00:06:26season in Golestan.
00:06:29Fruit-laden trees that we see in more than 2,000 hectares of pomegranate
00:06:33orchards in the province. The pomegranates are
00:06:36of very good quality. They are large
00:06:39and juicy. The pomegranates are very clean.
00:06:44It's been a week since we started. We have 10 to 15 workers
00:06:48daily, depending on the number of boxes we have now.
00:06:51How many tons do you collect a day? I collect four to five tons a day. How much
00:06:55does a kilo of pomegranate cost? They came and told us 30 Tomans per kilo. Well,
00:06:5930 Tomans per kilo won't cover our annual expenses. It's not
00:07:03profitable at all unless you process it.
00:07:07That's right. Mr. Poorabbasi is one
00:07:09of the orchard owners who doesn't send pomegranates to
00:07:13the market for sale, but instead sends them to a processing
00:07:16workshop for this product.
00:07:23The same place where raw sales were
00:07:25bypassed.
00:07:30People are looking for healthy products. Here, we produce
00:07:34healthy pomegranate juice without any preservatives
00:07:37and it's beneficial for people's health. People welcome it.
00:07:40Pomegranate juice, paste, and sauce are the processed
00:07:44products of this workshop. Every 3 kilos yield one kilo of juice.
00:07:48Every 10 kilos become pomegranate paste.
00:07:51With this minimum processing, the added value of
00:07:54pomegranate triples. How much is the pomegranate juice
00:07:58that is purchased from you per kilo? This year we are selling it for 200 Tomans.
00:08:01And what about pomegranate paste? Pomegranate paste is 800,
00:08:04700, it varies. The last processed product from pomegranate
00:08:08in this workshop is pomegranate seed oil. Pomegranate seed oil is currently
00:08:1230-40 million Tomans per liter in Arab countries. Here, we want to sell
00:08:16it for 3 to 5 million. We can't sell it for more. That's why
00:08:19I say it's more expensive than oil. Pomegranate, this
00:08:23ruby fruit, has many products that
00:08:26only need support and investment.
00:08:29Its skin is also usable. Even a few years ago, one of my friends
00:08:33came and did an experiment for poultry feed. Unfortunately,
00:08:37we don't have industrial processing for the skin. It is predicted that this year,
00:08:40between 25 and 28 thousand tons of pomegranates will
00:08:44be harvested from Golestan's orchards. Gorgan, with nearly 400
00:08:48hectares of pomegranate orchards, ranks first in this region in Golestan
00:08:51province. Teimouri, IRIB News Agency,
00:08:54Gorgan.
00:08:57Thank you for joining us for this news section.
00:09:22In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and hasten
00:09:26their reappearance. Greetings and good morning to you, dear viewers. Well,
00:09:30as you must have seen in the news,
00:09:33the reactions and repercussions to
00:09:36the unprecedented defeat of the Republican Party in the midterm
00:09:40congressional elections in this country are
00:09:43ongoing. The US President and Vice President of America,
00:09:46in different and separate statements,
00:09:50admitted that the war with Iran brought
00:09:54them to this point, a matter that they had previously tried to deny
00:09:57and claimed that the war with Iran had no impact or consequences
00:10:01on the lives of the American people and the domestic political
00:10:04atmosphere in America. However, today, after realizing a heavy
00:10:08defeat in the midterm congressional elections, they reached the point of admitting
00:10:12that the war with Iran was directly
00:10:15a factor in their defeat in the midterm
00:10:18congressional elections. And the reactions we had within Iran,
00:10:22high-ranking officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran,
00:10:26such as Sardar Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the country, emphasized
00:10:29that anyone who clashes with the Islamic Republic
00:10:33of Iran will pay a heavy price, from the battlefield
00:10:36to the doorstep of their own home.
00:10:39Here in the studio of the News Network, we are hosting Mr. Emad
00:10:43Najar, an expert on international issues, to review the latest
00:10:46consequences and results of what Trump and
00:10:50the ruling body of America initiated regarding Iran and the Iranian file,
00:10:54and of course, what we expect to happen
00:10:57after this in the international arena and in the West
00:11:01Asian region. Mr. Najar, hello, welcome. I also greet
00:11:04you and also the noble nation
00:11:07of Iran. I am at your service. Thank you. Well, what
00:11:11the ruling body of America itself has admitted, and on the other
00:11:14hand, what the Democrats, who managed to defeat
00:11:18the Republicans, emphasized and was very noticeable,
00:11:22is that the US president, on February 28th of last
00:11:25year, stated an objective for initiating a war against Iran,
00:11:28and that was, in a way, to overthrow the system of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
00:11:32However, after all this time, not only has the Islamic Republic
00:11:36of Iran not been shaken, but on the contrary,
00:11:40its roots have become more influential and
00:11:43powerful. We see what a defeat
00:11:46the party that Trump used
00:11:49to start the war against Iran
00:11:52has faced with defeat. From what
00:11:55point to what point have we reached?
00:11:59We don't see this defeat
00:12:02of the Republican Party as an individual defeat.
00:12:06Trump did not lose. Americans
00:12:09were defeated by Iran, by the people of Iran. The Republican
00:12:13Party made mistakes
00:12:17that the American people realized
00:12:21what damage these mistakes caused them.
00:12:28Now, the victorious Democrats have given some speeches. In these speeches,
00:12:32they downplayed America's
00:12:35defeat in this defeat.
00:12:38Topics were raised, including that
00:12:42Iran, which was the cause of this war, was able to
00:12:45increase fuel prices, increase fertilizer
00:12:49prices, and increase energy costs. However,
00:12:52this is not the case. The Islamic Republic of Iran
00:12:56has been able to influence the pillars of
00:13:00American power worldwide. The Islamic Republic
00:13:03of Iran has been able to create an economic crisis,
00:13:07not only for America but for the whole world.
00:13:10Iran has been able to
00:13:12destroy the Hollywood
00:13:14dominance of the American army, which had been
00:13:17portrayed to the people of the world as
00:13:20an undisputed power. These are great
00:13:24victories. And this is what Americans understood,
00:13:28and now, to change
00:13:31this structure, they voted this way in the elections.
00:13:34So, we did not
00:13:38defeat Trump. We defeated the criminal
00:13:41America, and we made its people aware,
00:13:44and they are demanding a change in this
00:13:48system and this warmongering. But
00:13:51another point
00:13:53is that we shouldn't separate Americans and say
00:13:57Democrats are the best, Republicans
00:14:00are the best, this one has priority, this one
00:14:04has this priority, or that one has something else. The strategic
00:14:07system of America
00:14:10regarding international issues, especially
00:14:14Iran, is predetermined and under
00:14:17its control. We must know that the international
00:14:21Zionist complex
00:14:24controls all the strategies of international relations,
00:14:28their warmongering, their infiltration,
00:14:31and even their dominance over countries
00:14:34and their bases, and this strategy is predetermined
00:14:38and implementable. And this strategy, after this significant
00:14:42change that we saw, we must even mention
00:14:45that the states that were under
00:14:49Republican control for more than 80-90 years
00:14:53have now been won by the Democrats, and they
00:14:57have taken control of them. This does not change
00:15:00the overall policies of America, and
00:15:03there should be no change in our policies either.
00:15:06We must continue the same approach that we
00:15:09had and succeeded in.
00:15:13That means steadfastness, resistance,
00:15:16and the fact that the Strait of Hormuz was under
00:15:20our control for 40 and some years, and
00:15:23we were not making proper use of it. Now, with this
00:15:27control at this entrance and
00:15:30exit of the Strait of Hormuz, we have taken
00:15:32control of the world, and this control
00:15:36and this steadfastness have turned us
00:15:39into powers entering
00:15:42the ranks of the powerful countries of the world that are now
00:15:46influential in the international arena. Mr. Najar,
00:15:49I want to talk more with you about this point that you also mentioned
00:15:53in your explanations, that we emphasize
00:15:56that the outlook and grand strategy of the two parties,
00:16:00Republican and Democrat, are the same, and there is no fundamental
00:16:03difference between them. The question of public
00:16:06opinion in Iran, at least today, might be this: what
00:16:09differences exist between these two parties regarding the Iranian file,
00:16:13and possibly what differences exist?
00:16:16Well, the
00:16:18influence, dominance,
00:16:22and control over the country
00:16:26and the defeat of Iran from
00:16:29the transition and those conditions of resistance
00:16:33against great powers is one of the main
00:16:35common strategies, and there is no difference
00:16:39between these two parties. The difference we
00:16:43can make is in the way of dealing
00:16:46with or
00:16:50military, economic, political
00:16:54attacks. Otherwise,
00:16:56what we need to see is that in a negotiation
00:17:00we had previously, we lost some
00:17:03interests, and they signed a
00:17:06contract with us. That was a blow to us.
00:17:10On this side, we also entered a war with
00:17:13the Republicans, which also caused us damage. We
00:17:17were able to resist in both
00:17:21cases and prevent the continuation of
00:17:24that process, especially regarding
00:17:27this recent war. Our type of resistance,
00:17:31our type of response and reaction made the world realize
00:17:35that Iran is one of the important global
00:17:38powers, and it no longer
00:17:41fits into that regional perspective.
00:17:45They no longer consider Iran a regional power.
00:17:48Now it is a trans-regional power, especially with these
00:17:52new models that we are dealing with. This means that we have declared
00:17:56that regarding a new warmongering, regarding
00:18:00a wrong military action
00:18:03against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the region is no longer
00:18:07involved. The issue is beyond the region,
00:18:10and the issue is in
00:18:12rotating circles, meaning that
00:18:16first the first circle, Europe, and then the complete
00:18:19circle, Europe, will also be involved in this
00:18:23war and this military
00:18:25dimension. Currently, the situation has only
00:18:29involved them economically, but the next stage shows
00:18:33power, it shows authority, it shows
00:18:36our high capability in various
00:18:40fields that the world did not imagine, and
00:18:44after these events,
00:18:46they are now facing a new display of Iran's
00:18:50power. Well, in recent days and weeks,
00:18:54what we have heard through messages and warnings
00:18:57from the Commander-in-Chief and also other senior
00:19:01military commanders of our country is that Iran's response
00:19:05to any new American
00:19:08aggression will be more decisive and painful.
00:19:12American experts believe that the US President
00:19:15has a 60-day window until the new
00:19:18lineup of the US House of Representatives and
00:19:22Senate are seated in these two
00:19:25chambers. In this remaining time, what the US President did
00:19:29not achieve in the last 8 months, in your opinion, what
00:19:33reasons are there for the US President to escalate tensions for what
00:19:36he did not achieve and caused his defeat
00:19:40in the elections, and what reasons are there for
00:19:43him to change his course and, in a way, come to this
00:19:47understanding that with this approach he has taken so far,
00:19:50he cannot achieve his goals, and he will complicate and worsen
00:19:54the situation for the Republican Party? One of the problems
00:19:58with Americans is that Trump has no proper understanding
00:20:02of the situation. This is about Trump. But
00:20:04regarding their military officials and
00:20:08their assessments, we must take this into account:
00:20:12the Strait of Hormuz is no longer open.
00:20:15It will not return to the previous conditions. We have seven
00:20:19conditions that we have declared, and we insist on them because
00:20:22we are in a position of strength, in a position of power.
00:20:26We do not negotiate with our enemies
00:20:29from a position of weakness. We do not negotiate.
00:20:32Whether it's the representatives they send or the
00:20:36diplomats who come for negotiations, we state
00:20:40that these seven conditions must be met.
00:20:44After that, we will sit down again and talk about other matters.
00:20:47However, regarding any action
00:20:50they take, this is a big
00:20:54mistake. They did this several times and suffered losses.
00:20:57Now, America no longer has bases in the region.
00:21:01We saw that there are no bases left for Americans in the region
00:21:05because we destroyed them all, and they are now controlling
00:21:08their bases from a greater distance. They are managing
00:21:12them. Also, this time we announced
00:21:15that in addition to military targets, we will also target
00:21:18America's economic interests and our enemies'.
00:21:22This expansion
00:21:23of military,
00:21:26economic, and political dimensions
00:21:30within our militarism in the region and
00:21:33beyond is a real threat, and they know it.
00:21:36This is one aspect. But why might Trump
00:21:40or America take this action, as you
00:21:43said, meaning to escalate military tensions? Military
00:21:47escalation, a military action, began with
00:21:50a declaration and an assessment of starting
00:21:54this war. They started acting, and that
00:21:57was overthrow, and then there were other actions.
00:22:00Even now they have reached a stage
00:22:03where they cannot insist on freeing the Strait of Hormuz.
00:22:06Now they are considering other matters.
00:22:10Now, to get out of this bottleneck, they need
00:22:14to, in a way, even with a media lie,
00:22:17declare victory. For this declaration
00:22:20of victory, they need a new war,
00:22:23a war to break out, a military
00:22:26exchange to take place, and then
00:22:30Trump comes and lies to the media, saying
00:22:33he won. Now he wants to go. Trump needs
00:22:36this action because not only
00:22:39has the reputation of the Republicans been ruined, but also
00:22:43the reputation of that
00:22:45hollow
00:22:48grandeur of the American army in the world
00:22:51is gone. No one in the world counts on
00:22:55the American army, on American power so much. Even
00:22:58their allies and those
00:23:02who were feeding America here, they no longer
00:23:05count on it. They have shifted their relations
00:23:09and gone towards Russia, gone towards China,
00:23:12and they no longer put all their eggs
00:23:16in America's basket. Why? Because they saw that
00:23:19if an action is to be taken,
00:23:22America cannot even protect its own interests in the region
00:23:26and keep them safe, let alone protect them
00:23:29or keep them safe
00:23:31from attacks. This was one aspect,
00:23:35and another aspect is that Democrats
00:23:39also need this. Democrats
00:23:42also need to take action to win
00:23:45the US presidency and seize it.
00:23:48This situation,
00:23:50in general, has two scenarios,
00:23:54as you said. Either they will definitely
00:23:57take a military action to declare
00:24:00victory, and then lie and say they won,
00:24:04because Trump makes a lot of these grandstanding
00:24:08statements. He lies and says he won.
00:24:12He lies and says he offered a deal to the Iranians, and the Iranians
00:24:16accepted his offer and said they surrendered and that
00:24:19they will give him these things. He does such
00:24:23things. Or they enter into
00:24:26negotiations to gain
00:24:29benefits. And this second option, because
00:24:33we have military superiority and geographical position,
00:24:36again, we insist on the benefits we have
00:24:40and the conditions we have, and no conditions will change.
00:24:44Let me also say one more point so it's not forgotten:
00:24:47this power, this military capability, this political
00:24:51and diplomatic capability, in addition to our reliance on
00:24:54our military forces, also relies on our
00:24:58popular support. And it is they who have
00:25:02given this power to Iran. You mentioned one of the possible actions
00:25:05by the Americans, that they are looking for a short-term
00:25:08and intense operation. I want to emphasize
00:25:12this word "short-term." Do we allow such a
00:25:15thing to happen? Meaning what has been repeatedly
00:25:19emphasized before, the Americans
00:25:22will no longer be the ones to end the war. Exactly.
00:25:26Why did I emphasize short-term?
00:25:29Because our reaction will
00:25:32be such that they will not be able to continue.
00:25:36Short-term, of course, is not for one or two days,
00:25:40but its duration will not be long like in previous periods,
00:25:44so that they don't face the consequences of war. Our reaction and
00:25:47the consequences that will arise for them will no
00:25:50longer be limited to targeting oil tankers
00:25:54and the Strait of Hormuz. It will no longer be
00:25:57limited to American military bases in this region.
00:26:01The conditions that we are defining for the world
00:26:04are trans-regional, and Europe must bear
00:26:08these costs, and these costs will be very high for Americans
00:26:12and Westerners. This is why the war will be short. We have about two
00:26:16minutes, Mr. Najar. Let's hear your summary of what you expect
00:26:19to happen in the future and the prospect of patience.
00:26:23Well, in addition to these two points I mentioned,
00:26:26either there will be a war to make a media
00:26:29lie that the US President will declare
00:26:32victory, or they will enter into negotiations.
00:26:36We must consider this issue that
00:26:39we have considered the international dimension in all our discussions
00:26:43and analyzed it. We also have another dimension.
00:26:47Our officials, our authorities internally, are also working
00:26:51hard. Including, especially
00:26:53our military commanders are entering some of
00:26:57the domestic crises, including energy crises,
00:27:00and that policymaking.
00:27:06One thing I ask is that regarding the support
00:27:10for these people who have been in the streets
00:27:13for more than 200 nights, in the streets for 24 nights,
00:27:17they are the backbone of the nation. We must bow down
00:27:21and serve them in return for all this support that
00:27:24we received. And these supports led to these
00:27:28victories. The Strait of Hormuz will be closed
00:27:31forever. Because our power is here. The new
00:27:35legal regime that we have defined must also be
00:27:38approved at the international level. The conditions of
00:27:42this legal regime are very different from the past,
00:27:46and of course, we must be very careful not to allow any
00:27:49statement from anyone or any group to undermine this national
00:27:53cohesion. This national cohesion is the awareness
00:27:56of the people. The people are very aware, very awake, and
00:28:00under the command of our
00:28:03Leader. And we see that with every statement
00:28:06and speech he makes, this popular uprising
00:28:09gains new life and a new power is given
00:28:13to these people. In our defense sector,
00:28:16it is the same. The new orders he has given
00:28:20regarding no geographical restrictions,
00:28:23like our martyred Leader, change global
00:28:27policies. I must tell a memory
00:28:30here. One of the American officials said
00:28:34that we plan so many policies against Iran. The Iranian leader
00:28:38gives a speech and nullifies all of them. Thank you, Mr. Emad Najar,
00:28:42international affairs expert. I also thank you, dear viewers, for your attention.
00:28:46I invite you to continue watching the News Channel. Thank you.
00:30:22In the name of God, with blessings upon Muhammad and the family
00:30:25of Muhammad. I greet you, sports news enthusiasts.
