00:00:00Yes, thank you, Mr. Abshanas. We have the news now. After the
00:00:03news, we will continue the conversation with you. I will draw the attention
00:00:07of our esteemed viewers to the news.
00:00:23Good evening. The sixth American reconnaissance drone of
00:00:26type M170 was hunted down in the sky over
00:00:30Qeshm Island. The public relations department of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
00:00:34announced that moments ago, the sixth American
00:00:37reconnaissance drone of type M
00:00:40170 was grounded in the sky over Qeshm Island by the advanced
00:00:43electronic warfare systems of the Aerospace Force of the
00:00:47Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This is the second
00:00:50drone of type MQM170
00:00:53that has been grounded in the sky over Qeshm
00:00:57in recent hours. This American newspaper claimed
00:01:10that senior Pentagon officials, after the heavy
00:01:13defeat of the Republicans in the midterm congressional
00:01:16elections, faced the reality
00:01:19that the unpopular war against Iran fueled
00:01:23this defeat and that this defeat must have victims. According
00:01:26to this report, the Trump administration is more likely
00:01:30to dismiss John Keane, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs
00:01:34of Staff, and Brad Cooper, the CENTCOM commander, than anyone
00:01:37else. Previously, American media announced
00:01:39that Trump is likely
00:01:42to dismiss Pete Hagset, the Secretary of
00:01:46War. The increase
00:01:50in poverty in Germany and France in the last three decades, according
00:01:53to a report by the German Economic and Social Research Institute,
00:01:57the poverty rate in this country has increased by
00:02:0145 percent since 2005, and the share of households
00:02:04experiencing poverty reached 17 percent in
00:02:082024. This report also shows
00:02:11that income inequality in Germany has reached its second highest level since
00:02:151992. In France, according to Le Monde newspaper
00:02:19and data from the country's National Institute of Statistics,
00:02:23the poverty rate has reached its highest
00:02:26level in at least 30 years.
00:02:32The new wave of bomb threats on
00:02:35Thursday affected at least 27 passenger flights in
00:02:39various European countries. These threats
00:02:42led to diversions of some aircraft, flight delays,
00:02:46and the dispatch of fighter jets to escort several
00:02:50passenger planes. The most reported bomb threats
00:02:53were related to Spain with 6 flights, the Czech Republic
00:02:57with four flights, and Bulgaria with three flights.
00:03:01In Denmark, two planes were inspected
00:03:04at Copenhagen Airport. Italy, Poland, France, Ireland,
00:03:08Belgium, Romania, and Austria were also among the countries
00:03:11affected by this wave. No government or group has yet
00:03:15claimed responsibility for these threats. These incidents
00:03:19are the second wave of similar threats this
00:03:22week.
00:03:23Continued program
00:03:27of the World Today and my colleague Mr. Shakouri.
00:03:43Yes, I thank my colleagues in the newsroom for the excellent presentation
00:03:47by Mr. Sadeghi. I draw your attention to the continuation of the World Today program. As
00:03:50it was mentioned in the news, the Saudi regime's fighter jets
00:03:54bombed various areas of Yemen today and killed innocent
00:03:58civilians. At the same time, they claimed
00:04:02that they intercepted a Yemeni missile over
00:04:05Medina. The Yemeni government immediately denied this claim by Riyadh
00:04:08and said that we only target Saudi oil
00:04:12facilities and military bases. Yahya Saree, the spokesman
00:04:15for the Yemeni Armed Forces, said that such a claim is in line
00:04:19with Saudi Arabia's continued false accusations and slanders
00:04:22against the Muslim nation and the Yemeni Armed Forces, while
00:04:25we only target oil facilities and military bases. He
00:04:29addressed Saudi Arabia, saying, "The people of Yemen respect holy sites more than
00:04:33any other nation, and those who pose a threat to holy sites
00:04:36are those who brought debauchery and immorality to
00:04:39this holy land." Regarding
00:04:43the equation of the siege of Yemen and the reciprocal
00:04:46siege of Yemen against Saudi Arabia, there are
00:04:49reports that this siege has actually exerted more economic
00:04:52pressure on Saudi Arabia itself and has caused a severe budget deficit for the Riyadh
00:04:56government. An Arab expert named Imad Akoush
00:05:01has made a comment in this regard that we will hear
00:05:04part of his interview. The closure
00:05:08of Saudi aviation facilities and infrastructure at several levels.
00:05:30This country's conference and exhibition. Another issue is imports
00:05:33and exports, especially the import and export of
00:05:37technical and sensitive equipment, spare parts,
00:05:40and other equipment and goods that Saudi Arabia needs
00:05:44and cannot provide domestically. Also,
00:05:47essential and vital medicines that cannot be produced
00:05:51in Saudi Arabia, and some agricultural products that
00:05:54will witness the cessation or closure or even widespread
00:05:57disruption of activities in many factories, farms,
00:06:01and economic facilities. This reduction in activities in
00:06:05the basic sectors of the Saudi economy, along with the cessation
00:06:08of the country's main economic activities, namely
00:06:11oil production and petrochemical industries, will have
00:06:14widespread consequences. This is what we saw in the decline
00:06:18of the main index of the Saudi stock exchange. This downward
00:06:21trend will continue as long as Saudi Arabia's aggression
00:06:25against Yemen continues. The rule that the people of Yemen have established
00:06:29is: siege for siege, airport for
00:06:32airport, and facilities for facilities. If
00:06:35Saudi Arabia continues to insist on its aggression,
00:06:38I believe the suffering of this country will be far
00:06:54Financial markets are also currently not favorable for Saudi
00:06:57Arabia, and they do not provide the necessary
00:07:01readiness and openness for bond issuance and capital
00:07:04attraction through public offerings for this country. Therefore,
00:07:08financing the budget through public borrowing is not possible for the rulers of Riyadh.
00:07:42The interception of Yemeni missiles over holy cities
00:07:46like Medina and Mecca, what is the root cause of this that
00:07:50Saudis highlight every now and then?
00:07:53In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. This
00:07:56has both domestic and foreign
00:08:00dimensions. It has psychological
00:08:03and religious dimensions. In connection
00:08:07with the domestic dimensions, well,
00:08:10with these rumors and with these labels,
00:08:13they are trying to maximize the incitement
00:08:17of emotions and mobilize
00:08:20the people inside Saudi Arabia, which is actually
00:08:24due to the lack of forces
00:08:27and to provoke religious
00:08:30zeal. With these rumors and issues,
00:08:33they fuel the idea that Mecca
00:08:36and Medina are under threat.
00:08:39Well, beyond that, there is the issue of the Islamic
00:08:43world. In any case, these two
00:08:47holy cities, Mecca and Medina, are
00:08:51very, very important for the Islamic
00:08:55world. And by spreading such
00:08:58news, they show that they have become
00:09:01beggars and want to exploit
00:09:04the emotions of Muslim
00:09:08people throughout the Islamic
00:09:10world. Despite
00:09:14the propaganda pumping and the use
00:09:17of their media fleet, which is not
00:09:21small, the reaction of the
00:09:24Islamic world was a very, very
00:09:27regional reaction, whose responses
00:09:31were similar to the responses of Mr. Yahya Saree
00:09:33and other officials of the Ansar Allah political
00:09:37office, and even some scholars of the Islamic
00:09:40world who know what secret
00:09:43relations and what conspiracies Saudi Arabia has against
00:09:47the noble people of Palestine and especially
00:09:50during the Al-Aqsa Flood
00:09:54war against the people of Gaza, what crimes
00:09:58they have committed and what aid they have provided to
00:10:01the Zionist regime by creating a land
00:10:04route and for delivering food and
00:10:07supplies and weapons to the Zionist regime through Jordan,
00:10:10what acts they have committed, and these
00:10:12responses were actually important responses,
00:10:16that you who are inside Saudi Arabia, debauchery and immorality,
00:10:19wine selling and night gatherings
00:10:23and immoral issues, which we don't need to open up
00:10:27here, people are aware of the stench of
00:10:30corruption in cyberspace, this really
00:10:34offends the noble people of the Islamic world.
00:10:37If we want to point it out, therefore, the
00:10:41discussion emphasizing that Ansar Allah, which is half
00:10:45of the Yemeni society, and their youth, especially the Quran
00:10:48memorizers, are defenders of the Quran, they grew up
00:10:51in the Quran school, they actually started the Quran movement in
00:10:55Yemen under the leadership of the father of Sheikh Sayyid Abd
00:10:58al-Malik al-Houthi and the martyred Sayyid Hussein al-Houthi.
00:11:02They accuse these noble people of being against
00:11:05the noble tomb of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
00:11:09Therefore, such absurd
00:11:12claims are actually not tolerated by the Islamic
00:11:16world, nor do they believe them. Mr.
00:11:20Sadafghehi, the issue of siege for siege,
00:11:23military base for military base
00:11:26and facility for facility, an equation that the Yemenis have started
00:11:30in their new round of conflicts with Saudi Arabia, how
00:11:33much do you think the Saudi regime will be able to withstand
00:11:37this equation? The Yemeni
00:11:40army, let's not say this, Western experts
00:11:44and those within Saudi
00:11:46Arabia are indirectly hinting
00:11:49that if these important
00:11:52and concentrated strikes on Saudi
00:11:55oil facilities continue, on the one
00:11:59hand, as you know, Mr. Shakouri,
00:12:03the Saudi economy is a single-product
00:12:06economy, meaning it relies on oil
00:12:09and oil derivatives, otherwise they import
00:12:13everything from abroad. They don't have significant
00:12:16exports, significant production, or much
00:12:20industry. This is one point. Another
00:12:24point is the paralysis of important and
00:12:28very busy
00:12:30Saudi airports, Riyadh Airport, Jeddah Airport,
00:12:34Dammam Airport, and other airports like Abha
00:12:37Airport. These are important airports, both in terms
00:12:40of trade and religious
00:12:44tourism and so on. Therefore, these airports and these
00:12:48Saudi planes, Saudi airlines,
00:12:51and also international companies have
00:12:55seen their traffic to these airports paralyzed due
00:12:58to Ansar Allah's control of the skies
00:13:02over Saudi Arabia. We see that
00:13:05it has been paralyzed, and also the naval
00:13:09blockade, despite the creation and establishment
00:13:12of the Mecca coalition and the exploitation of
00:13:15this sacred name, and also the naval
00:13:19blockade, this has exacerbated the situation
00:13:21such that oil exports have reached their minimum
00:13:25and Aramco facilities before
00:13:28this, they actually sold bonds,
00:13:31sold some of their shares, but today
00:13:35we see such concentrated and extremely
00:13:38effective strikes on Aramco facilities
00:13:41in various regions, which is a very large
00:13:45company and has various branches, and
00:13:49Ansar Allah and the Yemeni army have targeted
00:13:52all these facilities throughout Saudi Arabia and have
00:13:55affected them. Therefore, the budget deficit is a very
00:13:59important issue, and if it continues,
00:14:02Saudi Arabia will certainly lose its ability
00:14:05to cope. Mr. Sadafghehi, considering the existing
00:14:09scenarios of escalation or de-escalation of tension
00:14:12and this ongoing trend, which regional actors
00:14:16do you think can play a role in stopping this
00:14:20cycle of conflict, and perhaps ending the blockade
00:14:23and reducing tension?
00:14:25Well, look, several countries have intervened,
00:14:29especially within
00:14:31the framework of the Mecca coalition. Well,
00:14:34Saudi Arabia had counted heavily on the role
00:14:37of Turkey and Pakistan,
00:14:40while the Islamic Republic of Iran
00:14:43had announced, through various officials,
00:14:46especially our esteemed Foreign Minister, Mr.
00:14:49Dr. Araghchi, that if Saudi Arabia asks
00:14:52us, due to the close and
00:14:56intimate relationship we have with the legitimate
00:15:00Sanaa government and Ansar Allah, we
00:15:03can, provided that the
00:15:07equation and balance
00:15:09in deterrence are maintained, the Saudis
00:15:12withdraw, and a round table
00:15:16for Yemeni-Yemeni negotiations is formed
00:15:19without foreign interference. Well, so
00:15:23far, Saudi Arabia has been resisting. I remember
00:15:27in the negotiations for the return of our good
00:15:31relations with the Saudis in Muscat and in
00:15:34Iraq, and finally in China, with the presence of Martyr
00:15:37Shamkhani, we had an agreement for the
00:15:41return of relations with the Saudis. The Yemen
00:15:44file was constantly raised in these meetings,
00:15:48and they wanted Iran to pressure Ansar Allah to lay down
00:15:51their weapons. Well, this was an unfair and illogical
00:15:55request that Iran never allowed itself to even
00:15:58raise with Ansar Allah. In return, the Islamic
00:16:02Republic of Iran proposed that we are willing
00:16:05to intervene, but in
00:16:10a just manner, based on this. So far, the current
00:16:13Saudi government and Mohammad bin Salman himself do
00:16:17not believe that they are truly facing
00:16:20the Yemeni army and the steadfast
00:16:23will of the Yemeni people and Ansar Allah. They also
00:16:26continue to resist. Yes, thank you very
00:16:30much, Mr. Seyed Hadi Sadafghehi, expert on Middle
00:16:33Eastern affairs. Thank you for participating in this discussion. I bid you farewell.
00:16:46The last topic of our files tonight was
00:16:50the bomb threat warning on European flights that we witnessed
00:16:53today. 15 flights in various European
00:16:57cities today received this bomb threat warning
00:17:00and were forced to make an emergency landing,
00:17:03specifically 5 flights for Ryanair,
00:17:38LOT Polish Airlines flight was
00:17:41en route from Warsaw to Brussels, but despite the mentioned threat,
00:17:44it landed safely at Brussels Airport. Wizz Air, with a
00:17:48flight from Milan to Warsaw, diverted its route to
00:17:52Vienna, the capital of Austria, and one SAS flight
00:17:56from Copenhagen to Warsaw was also threatened
00:17:58with a bomb. Four flights to
00:18:02Prague received warnings, but the names of the
00:18:05airlines were not mentioned. These threats, which were
00:18:09reported in the global media today,
00:18:12and their source is also unknown, no individual or group
00:18:16has claimed responsibility so far. Some European
00:18:19officials have raised the possibility of combined
00:18:23attacks or sabotage and pointed the finger
00:18:26at some countries like Russia,
00:18:29and the UK has said that these incidents
00:18:33were fake and destructive intimidation and has announced that
00:18:37after inspecting the flights, no explosive device was found.
00:18:41In any case, it was a security news that
00:18:45has been repeated several times on European flights
00:18:47in perhaps the last two weeks. To discuss
00:18:51this issue, I will speak with our correspondent, Mr. Mojtaba
00:18:55Ghasemzadeh, in London, to hear more about the reactions of British
00:18:59and other European officials. Mr. Ghasemzadeh, hello, good
00:19:02evening. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello to you,
00:19:06Mr. Shakouri, and the viewers
00:19:11and listeners. What was the story exactly, and how did
00:19:14these 15 flights face these bomb threats and
00:19:17become news, and what were the reactions of British
00:19:21and generally European officials in this regard? Well,
00:19:24since Tuesday until today,
00:19:2734 bomb threats on
00:19:30airplanes have covered
00:19:33three waves from East to West
00:19:36Europe, two of which were in
00:19:40England, one at London Heathrow Airport
00:19:43and one in Manchester. Well, these
00:19:47threats created a widespread wave of security
00:19:50concerns across Europe. Airplanes
00:19:54that were announced to have bombs
00:19:57placed on them either had emergency
00:20:00landings or were escorted by military
00:20:04aircraft to military airports, which of course
00:20:07incurred very high costs for them.
00:20:11There, passengers disembarked anxiously
00:20:14and worried, and the
00:20:17plane was checked. This happened
00:20:20in several European countries.
00:20:24Well, European officials
00:20:27announced that they received emails
00:20:30that stated that bombs
00:20:34were placed inside these flights
00:20:38and threatened that they
00:20:40would make the European skies red.
00:20:44Immediately, officials announced that
00:20:48after inspecting these planes, it was
00:20:51found that these news and threats
00:20:55were fake and no such case was found.
00:20:58For this reason, they tried to calm the situation
00:21:02and relieve people of their worries, but
00:21:05all these efforts of officials and Western media, especially
00:21:08European, could not calm the situation,
00:21:12and the security
00:21:15and life
00:21:18concerns of the people remained. This issue
00:21:21led to thousands of people canceling
00:21:25their air travel, and this issue caused
00:21:29a lot of damage to airlines. Airlines
00:21:32that in recent months faced increased
00:21:36fuel prices due to the imposed war by the US
00:21:40and Israeli regimes on Iran suffered
00:21:44very heavy costs, and now they have to
00:21:47bear more damages. These threats,
00:21:51with emergency landings of planes,
00:21:53it is said that they have caused
00:21:57some airports to be closed,
00:22:00flights to be disrupted, and thousands
00:22:03of passengers to be stranded.
00:22:07They are unhappy that after several days,
00:22:10European officials have not
00:22:14been able to find any clue to this matter
00:22:17and put an end to these security concerns
00:22:21with certainty. This issue has also become
00:22:24a challenge for the officials of this country.
00:22:27Mr. Apostolos, the head of European Air
00:22:31Transport, said that they have started
00:22:33extensive investigations into this matter, but
00:22:37they have not yet found any clue about these
00:22:40threats. These threats, whose sender
00:22:43has not spent any money,
00:22:46but have imposed very large and exorbitant
00:22:50costs on countries, especially
00:22:53airlines. Well, this issue has caused
00:22:57some airline staff
00:23:00to refuse to go to
00:23:03work out of fear of security concerns
00:23:06and risk to life, and this
00:23:09has also caused further widespread
00:23:12disruptions, in addition to
00:23:15the problems and difficulties
00:23:19that flights
00:23:23faced. Well, these have caused public anger, especially in these
00:23:27days when we are approaching the end
00:23:30of the year, and travel has
00:23:33increased. Mr. Hadi Alexander, the British
00:23:37Aviation Minister, in response to these
00:23:41threats, said that they know these are
00:23:44fake and false, but they cannot
00:23:48ignore them and must
00:23:51seriously follow up to ensure that none
00:23:54of these threats are real and cause
00:23:57huge damages, and their security
00:24:00concerns are justified
00:24:03in this
00:24:06regard. Thank you very much, Mr. Ghasemzadeh,
00:24:09for your detailed explanations about this security
00:24:13threat that has started in Europe and the
00:24:17reactions. As you pointed out, the party
00:24:20has caused millions of dollars in damage
00:24:24to European aviation
00:24:25with a cheap email.
00:24:28And with the end of our program time, I thank you, dear
00:24:31viewers, for paying attention to the World
00:24:35Today program. I invite you to stay
00:24:39with the news channel.
00:24:40Good night and goodbye.
00:25:09They found documents there and realized
00:25:12that the matter was much deeper
00:25:14than that.
00:25:18The revolution happened.
00:25:20The Americans were the first to oppose the revolution.
00:25:24In the US Senate, a resolution was passed
00:25:27against the Iranian nation and against
00:25:30the revolution. Then, they let
00:25:33Mohammad Reza into the US, on the
00:25:37pretext that he was going for treatment,
00:25:40and they housed him in a hospital.
00:25:43But the political and security agencies
00:25:47maintained contact with him. The Iranian people understood
00:25:51this, and the people got angry. Demonstrations
00:25:54started in the streets against America. Why?
00:25:58Because they felt that the event of August
00:26:0119th would be repeated. Part of these demonstrations
00:26:05was the student movement. They entered
00:26:09the embassy and occupied it. They didn't want
00:26:12to stay in the embassy. The students did
00:26:15not intend to stay in the embassy. They
00:26:18just wanted the world to see how angry
00:26:22the Iranian people were about the Shah
00:26:25being allowed into America. That was all. They wanted
00:26:29to go in, stay for two or three days, and come
00:26:32out. The students' decision. Then, when they
00:26:35entered the embassy, they found documents
00:26:39there that showed the matter was much
00:26:42deeper than that. It wasn't about
00:26:45a Senate resolution. The embassy was
00:26:48a center of conspiracy and plotting
00:26:52to disrupt the revolution.
00:26:54That is, they were engaged in
00:26:58conspiracy. The embassy was no longer
00:27:01an embassy. The issue of the American
00:27:04embassy was that it was a room
00:27:08of conspiracy against the revolution, to identify
00:27:12individuals, provoke them, create organizations,
00:27:15use dissidents from the previous
00:27:18regime, and if they could, gather the army
00:27:22against the revolution. They understood this.
00:27:26When they understood this, they stayed
00:27:29in the embassy. Now, to say that our
00:27:33problem with America started from here is
00:27:37not an accurate statement. Firstly, our problem
00:27:40with America did not start from November 4th,
00:27:44it started from August 19th. Secondly,
00:27:48November 4th was actually
00:27:51the discovery of a conspiracy and a great
00:27:55danger to the revolution, which the students
00:27:58did. They were able to collect the documents,
00:28:02which had been shredded, with great difficulty,
00:28:06and understand what was going on in the embassy.
