00:01:46US President Donald
00:01:49underwriting strategies Trump affirmed the conduct of positive and prolonged negotiations with
00:01:52Tehran. Trump indicated that the ongoing talks
00:01:55are the last chance to sign a good agreement that ends
00:01:59the crisis. It has been going on for months, threatening Iran
00:02:02with strong attacks if an agreement is not reached.
00:02:06The US President clarified that
00:02:08military measures in his country was on the verge of launching a large attack on Iran in
00:02:11recent days. For his
00:02:14still exists primarily in part, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharib said that Tehran
00:02:17received messages from
00:02:19quarter of this Washington through intermediaries, indicating that the United States
00:02:22affirmed through the messages

00:02:31about three months
00:02:33Pakistan expressed its hope that of the escalation a potential agreement
00:02:37and tightened military regarding maritime navigation in the region would contribute to resuming talks between
00:02:40Washington and Tehran. The spokesperson for the Pakistani
00:02:45with the American side is tantamount Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tahir Andrabi, affirmed the continuation
00:02:48the Iranian internal situation. Therefore, of Islamabad's efforts with a number of countries to reach a
00:02:54at this time table and discussing comprehensive and sustainable solution, sustainability and reduces adding that any potential agreement for navigation traffic would pave
00:02:57the way for resuming talks at the technical level between
00:03:00health authorities in Iran and the United States
00:03:05this conflict can be of America.
00:03:08And following up
00:03:12Iran's regional proxies. In on this topic, we are joined from Cairo by Dr. Haitham Omran, Professor of Political Science
00:03:16at Suez University. Welcome, Dr. Haitham.
00:03:19First, Dr., the statements of the American
00:03:22President that positive
00:03:27and if the mediators succeed and prolonged negotiations were held with the Iranian side, and Iranian statements saying
00:03:31that intermediaries came
00:03:33with American messages for America's
00:03:36return to the agreement once again. How do we read
00:03:40these two statements from the American and Iranian
00:03:45of arrests and raids in sides? the camp and forced
00:03:46First
00:03:50this crisis. So, of all, welcome to you and the esteemed viewers on your glorious channel.
00:03:53Of course, the statements of US President Donald Trump regarding the existence of positive
00:03:57negotiations with Iran cannot be read
00:04:01in isolation from the current field developments, especially in light
00:04:06direct reconciliation with compulsion for both parties of reports indicating that the US Army is facing a severe dilemma regarding the lack
00:04:10a kind of of offensive missiles side. They believe that this and defensive missiles. This matter
00:04:14increases the costly war on the American side, as well
00:04:17as the natural cost of the war and its continuation
00:04:21primarily in light of the failure to achieve any of
00:04:24Lebanese affairs, where indirect talks the goals and the continuation of the conflict
00:04:27in a vicious circle. Therefore, we can say that
00:04:31there are perhaps four strategic dimensions related
00:04:34to these statements. The first of these statements is the policy
00:04:38of negotiation under fire and hybrid diplomacy.
00:04:41President Trump's statements about the positivity of
00:04:44the talks, coupled with the continuous threat
00:04:47of launching an attack or extensive options and imposing a siege on
00:04:50Iran, means that this is a familiar
00:04:54in this initiative is as the application of the strategy of negotiation under threat. The other
00:04:56matter is that President Trump's statements aim to send a reassuring
00:05:00proxies. Perhaps message to global markets, especially regarding oil
00:05:04and maritime navigation markets, and to confirm that the option
00:05:07of settlement is still viable and preferred by the American
00:05:10administration to prevent escalation to an open confrontation.
00:05:14The second dimension is related to the navigation file.
00:05:17Current discussions indicate that there is a clear focus on
00:05:21resolving complex issues incrementally,
00:05:24such as navigation arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz
00:05:28and trade corridors as an entry point for building confidence
00:05:31and reaching temporary agreements. There are regional parties
00:05:35striving to exert strong efforts, such as Oman, Qatar,
00:05:39and Pakistan. These arrangements
00:05:43aim to re-establish maritime passage rules
00:05:46and exclusive economic zones according to agreed
00:05:50do not infringe on the national sovereignty of both parties primarily.
00:05:54The third dimension is related to the complexities of the nuclear file and the balance
00:05:58of power. The hint at the positivity of the negotiations
00:06:01seeks to pave the way for a temporary
00:06:04local commitment that perhaps addresses
00:06:07the nuclear file and ballistic missile program
00:06:10in stages to avoid the collapse
00:06:14of talks primarily. The fourth dimension is related
00:06:17to negotiating tactics and cautious expectation.
00:06:20The history of rounds indicates
00:06:24the American side does not necessarily mean resolving contentious points
00:06:28fundamentally. This language is often used
00:06:31to throw the ball into the other party's court
00:06:34and push for reciprocal
00:06:39rounds. As for the Iranian
00:06:43context, perhaps the Iranian side also indicated
00:06:46that it always resorts to a policy of direct
00:06:50denial as a domestic
00:06:53US-Iranian relations, this scenario of
00:06:57denial is always repeated essentially. Tehran
00:07:01is keen to assure the domestic public that there are still no
00:07:04direct negotiations with America to avoid appearing
00:07:08as succumbing to American
00:07:12pressure or threats. In contrast, the American administration,
00:07:15especially President Trump, tends to always market
00:07:19such indirect contacts and exchange messages
00:07:22through diplomatic channels, such as Muscat, Islamabad, and Doha, because they
00:07:26are ongoing talks that prove the success
00:07:29of the pressure and deterrence strategy. The other matter
00:07:32is related to the role of mediators in building minimal understandings. Regional
00:07:36channels such as Oman, Qatar,
00:07:39and Pakistan are working very
00:07:43hard to bridge viewpoints and exchange messages
00:07:47to limit contentious points according to diplomatic norms
00:07:51primarily. The first stage involves exchanging
00:07:54messages through intermediaries to establish frameworks for de-escalation, and then
00:07:58moving to the stage of creating
00:08:00common ground that facilitates moving to the negotiating
00:08:05complex files. However, at the same time,
00:08:09there are gaps that may delay the transition to these
00:08:12negotiations, an agenda gap. Washington always
00:08:15insists on limiting a broad agenda that includes
00:08:19the nuclear program, the missile program, as well as
00:08:24contrast, Iran also wants to separate the files from each other.
00:08:28Therefore, we can say that the exchange of messages is the most
00:08:32realistic indicator that the two parties are testing
00:08:35the seriousness of the de-escalation,
00:08:39in reaching a partial agreement on the security of the navigation
00:08:43file and reducing tensions, then we can say that perhaps
00:08:47the negotiations are moving towards more progressive
00:08:51formulas through which these confrontations can be ended. Dr., when
00:08:54we talk about separating files, as you mentioned, some say that separating
00:08:58files and presenting each file separately may prolong
00:09:03is it the role of the intermediaries to bring the two parties back
00:09:07to the same agreement that was signed, or will the military pressure
00:09:11during the past period cause
00:09:14more
00:09:18and concessions for the agreement to return
00:09:21again, or will there be
00:09:22a new agreement?
00:09:29I believe that the chances of reaching understandings regarding
00:09:32the outstanding issues, such as the nuclear program
00:09:36and American sanctions, remain always governed by the dynamics
00:09:39of strategic complexities characterized by their
00:09:43high nature. The possibilities range between temporary arrangements
00:09:45and phased arrangements with high chances
00:09:49of success. I believe that intermediaries are now making very strong efforts
00:09:52to perhaps limit contentious points, and perhaps
00:09:56throughout the negotiations and previous negotiating rounds, we can say that
00:09:59the file of differences is primarily limited
00:10:03to the Strait of Hormuz file and the nuclear program. Now,
00:10:06perhaps there is no talk about the ballistic missile program,
00:10:09no talk about
00:10:13this matter reflects the preferred strategy of both parties. The American
00:10:16side wants direct negotiations
00:10:20on all files, while the Iranian side wants to obtain
00:10:24gains related to specific files.
00:10:28Therefore, the Iranian side fully realizes that being lenient in
00:10:32presenting files with the American side may
00:10:34push the American
00:10:38concessions from Iran primarily. Therefore, that's
00:10:42dealing with files separately in the hope of achieving
00:10:46gains related to each file. But
00:10:49as I told you, there are obstacles,
00:10:53perhaps obstacles to reaching a permanent
00:10:56agreement, which is difficult. But perhaps
00:11:00the greater probability is related to reaching understandings
00:11:04related to specific files, such as the navigation file in the Strait
00:11:08of Hormuz, especially since discussions are now revolving around the existence of perhaps
00:11:11common understandings between Iran and Oman regarding
00:11:15the management of the strait. Therefore, the points of contention,
00:11:18I believe, at the present time, may be much greater than
00:11:22the points of agreement. Mediators are working to bridge
00:11:25the gaps and reduce the gaps and reach common
00:11:29areas through which both parties can build.
00:11:32Therefore, yes, Dr., with the work of intermediaries to facilitate
00:11:36these differences and indirect messages between the American
00:11:39side and the Iranian side, to what extent can indirect
00:11:42messages play a role in bringing the two parties back to
00:11:46negotiations again and to the agreement that was signed, or
00:11:49should these indirect messages be
00:11:53converted into direct messages between the two parties to reach
00:11:56a quick
00:11:57and inevitable result?
00:12:05very intelligent question. I believe that
00:12:09indirect negotiations between the two parties have perhaps
00:12:12proven ineffective and unsuccessful in bridging the viewpoints
00:12:16between the parties. But let's be more
00:12:19frank in this context. There is a deep-rooted
00:12:23crisis of trust between the two parties. Perhaps this crisis
00:12:27deepened significantly when President Donald Trump
00:12:30withdrew from the 2015 agreement signed by President
00:12:33Obama with the Iranian side. Therefore, the crisis of trust
00:12:39the relationship between the two countries. I believe it is time
00:12:42to move to direct negotiations between the two parties
00:12:46to make these negotiations successful. But so far, given the existing
00:12:49structural crises and internal pressures, both from the Iranian
00:12:53side and the American side, Iranian statements
00:12:57always contradict American statements.
00:13:00The Iranian side believes that there are internal
00:13:03pressures. The radical side believes that merely talking about
00:13:06direct contacts or understandings
00:13:10to surrender that may affect
00:13:13I believe that so far, the optimal means
00:13:17for both parties
00:13:19is indirect understandings. But
00:13:23if we want to accomplish these files and negotiate and reach
00:13:27achievements through which
00:13:30ended fundamentally, we must move from the realm
00:13:34of indirect negotiations to direct negotiations with
00:13:38the involvement of the same intermediaries in these negotiations, whether it is Oman,
00:13:41or Pakistan, or Qatar, perhaps
00:13:44Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, the countries that
00:13:47have the ability to sponsor this mediation
00:13:51primarily and provide
00:13:54technical consultations to both parties
00:13:58and overcome obstacles primarily. But so far,
00:14:01I believe the effectiveness of indirect negotiations in
00:14:04ending this conflict is perhaps a main reason
00:14:07for its continuation, especially given the sending of messages
00:14:11and then waiting for the intermediary to convey them to the other party, and then waiting
00:14:13for the response, and then sending the response. There
00:14:16is a complex series of message exchanges
00:14:20between the parties primarily. But as I told you, there is a crisis
00:14:24of distrust between the two parties. Perhaps the Iranian ideology
00:14:27still perhaps prevents
00:14:31the American
00:14:33matter represents
00:14:35threat or moral defeat
00:14:39for the Iranian interior. Yes, Dr. Haitham Omran, Professor of Political Science
00:14:43at Suez University. Thank you very much.
00:14:46And to
00:14:49between Lebanon and Israel continue in the Italian capital,
00:14:53Rome, within the framework of efforts to establish a ceasefire
00:14:57agreement and the withdrawal of the Israeli army from
00:15:00areas in southern Lebanon and the deployment of the Lebanese
00:15:03army there. Militarily, Israeli forces launched air raids
00:15:07and extensive artillery shelling on the Tyre district. The town
00:15:11of Burj al-Shamali also witnessed four Israeli
00:15:14raids, which resulted in several
00:15:16injuries.
00:15:19Indirect talks between Lebanon
00:15:22and Israel continue in the Italian
00:15:25capital, Rome, as part of efforts
00:15:28led by the United States to establish
00:15:31a ceasefire agreement and the withdrawal
00:15:34of the Israeli army from southern Lebanon and the deployment
00:15:38of the Lebanese army there. The seventh round of
00:15:41talks focused on mechanisms
00:15:45for implementing security understandings,
00:15:47primarily the Israeli withdrawal from a number of
00:15:50sites in southern Lebanon in exchange
00:15:53for the deployment of the Lebanese army there, in addition
00:15:57to creating new experimental areas
00:15:59and discussing mechanisms for monitoring the implementation
00:16:03of the agreement between the two sides. The Rome
00:16:06talks coincided with an Israeli escalation in southern
00:16:09Lebanon, where Israeli forces launched
00:16:13air raids and extensive artillery shelling on the Tyre
00:16:16district. The town of Burj al-Shamali also witnessed
00:16:19four Israeli raids, which resulted in several injuries.
00:16:22Israeli warplanes launched three raids on the town
00:16:26of Al-Mansouri, while Israeli forces
00:16:29opened machine gun fire towards the coastal
00:16:33Al-Hamra area in Beit
00:16:35Sayyad. On the humanitarian front,
00:16:39the United Nations said that more than 800,000
00:16:43Lebanese have begun to return to their areas from which
00:16:46they were displaced due to the war, while more than
00:16:48360,000 people remain displaced,
00:16:52of whom about 66,000 are residing
00:16:55in government shelters. The UN Office
00:16:58for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stated
00:17:02that the damage to water and electricity infrastructure
00:17:05due to the war
00:17:07severely affected access
00:17:11people in southern Lebanon. Despite
00:17:14the continuation of negotiations in Rome,
00:17:17all eyes remain on whether the talks
00:17:20will succeed in preventing a new round of escalation
00:17:24and transforming the truce into a full
00:17:27and comprehensive agreement that grants
00:17:29southern Lebanon permanent
00:17:32peace.
00:17:35Israeli occupation forces continued for the second consecutive day
00:17:38to storm Qalandia refugee camp north of Jerusalem amid widespread demolition
00:17:41and raid operations and tightened
00:17:46the area. Media outlets reported that medical
00:17:49teams dealt with three critical injuries and more than
00:17:5250 cases of suffocation as a result of the storming
00:17:56operation.
00:17:59With the continuation of military operations
00:18:02the West Bank, Qalandia refugee camp remains at the heart
00:18:08for the second consecutive day, amid
00:18:12widespread demolition and raids
00:18:15measures in the area. The Palestinian News Agency
00:18:18and Information Agency quoted the Governor
00:18:21of Jerusalem as saying that the occupation forces
00:18:24began demolishing a number of commercial stores in
00:18:27the vicinity of the Qalandia military checkpoint
00:18:30coinciding with the closure of the main street to
00:18:34vehicle traffic, which led to a complete
00:18:37halt in movement.
00:18:40The agency added that the occupation forces imposed
00:18:44a curfew in the streets of Kafr village,
00:18:48and closed all roads leading to Jerusalem,
00:18:51including the Institute Street, amid an intensive
00:18:55military presence. For
00:18:57its part, media outlets reported that medical
00:19:00teams dealt with three critical injuries
00:19:04and more than 50 cases of suffocation
00:19:07due to the storming operation of the camp.
00:19:11The Palestinian Red Crescent Society stated that
00:19:14the occupation forces prevented its teams during the past
00:19:17hours from entering them to leave.
00:19:21These events come amid
00:19:24continued tension in the West Bank amid
00:19:27fears of an expansion of the escalation and a worsening
00:19:31of the humanitarian situation due to the measures taken
00:19:34by the Israeli occupation army
00:19:38from time to time.
00:19:41Six people were killed and others injured in Russian shelling
00:19:45of areas in Ukraine. Ukrainian sources clarified that
00:19:49three of the dead fell in the city of Balakliya
00:19:52in eastern Ukraine, while three others were killed in the city
00:19:56of Sumy, north of the capital, Kyiv. Meanwhile,
00:19:59severe damage occurred to the infrastructure of both cities. On
00:20:02another front, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced
00:20:05that it shot down 600 and 5 Ukrainian drones over
00:20:09the Crimean Peninsula that were on their way to target
00:20:13infrastructure facilities. Both sides are exchanging
00:20:15shelling of infrastructure facilities with the continued stalemate in the political
00:20:19and field and military situation.
00:20:23In Central America, authorities in Guatemala raised the alert level to
00:20:27its highest degree in three provinces following increased activity
00:20:30of the Fuego volcano. The volcano has been experiencing a strong eruption since Monday,
00:20:34accompanied by lava flows
00:20:37and dense emissions of gases
00:20:39and ash.
00:20:43Between fears of lava flows
00:20:47and suffocation from gas emissions
00:20:50and ash, hundreds of thousands of Guatemalans
00:20:55shelters after the eruption of Fuego volcano near
00:21:01The fear remains
00:21:05last time. We cannot risk
00:21:08our lives, and therefore
00:21:10we rushed to leave, leaving everything
00:21:13behind, despite the difficulty of leaving our homes.
00:21:17Fuego volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in
00:21:21Central America, formed a fountain of
00:21:24lava with a height ranging from
00:21:28200 to 300 meters above the crater
00:21:32of the mountain, which is about 4,000 meters
00:21:35high, while the ash plume exceeded
00:21:397,000 meters in height
00:21:43and spread for 130 km
00:21:47to the west.
00:21:50We did not hesitate to leave when we saw the strength of the
00:21:54volcanic eruption, and I took my family and we left the area
00:21:58immediately. Authorities in Guatemala
00:22:01raised the alert level to its highest degree in three
00:22:05provinces inhabited by more than one and a half
00:22:09million people, and evacuated more than
00:22:13areas near the crater of the
00:22:16volcano. The authorities warned
00:22:20that about 29,000 people
00:22:23are directly exposed to volcanic ashfall,
00:22:26calling on residents to take preventive measures,
00:22:30including wearing masks and protecting
00:22:33water sources and food supplies.
00:22:37The
00:22:39rising lava and columns of gas
00:22:43and ash revived memories of the
00:22:46devastating mudslide caused by the Fuego eruption
00:22:51in 2008, which killed 215
00:22:54people and left about 200
00:22:57missing.
00:23:00The Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros
00:23:04Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said during a visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo
00:23:07that the speed of the Ebola virus outbreak
00:23:11exceeds international containment efforts. The Director-General
00:23:16officials in the capital Kinshasa that after
00:23:21of the outbreak, new cases have doubled in some
00:23:24of the most affected areas. The Director-General of the organization indicated
00:23:28that it was agreed during the meeting on the urgent need
