00:12:52Hello and welcome to unfold, I am. Hami
00:12:55in the first segment we are going to understand exactly
00:12:59where the US Iran conflict stands right now
00:13:03and what else is happening in the broader middle eastern
00:13:06region. In the second segment we are going to talk about
00:13:10artificial intelligence which is not stopping short of giving
00:13:14us very shocking surprises. What is
00:13:18at stake and what are the problems the world is facing
00:13:22right now because the artificial intent.
00:13:26there are number of important things
00:13:30related to artificial intelligence by some the leading
00:13:33giants the industry have been said will be talking about that
00:13:37particular aspect in the second segment of today's
00:13:41show. let's begin with the first one when we
00:13:44specifically talk about the developments happening as far as the US,
00:13:48Iran conflict is concerned, there is a
00:13:52stalemate, although there is lot of... effort that is
00:13:56happening at the same time tandem
00:13:58with the to resume the
00:14:02negotiations to de-escalate the situation because the things are
00:14:05expanding on multiple fronts when we specifically talk about there
00:14:09is heightened escalation when it comes to Saudi Arabia
00:14:13and Hutis, Houties tightening their grip around
00:14:17Babel Mandab around the Red Sea coast
00:14:20and that particular dimension is actually ex
00:14:25the situation in already volatile middle eastern
00:14:29region also when we talk about because the disruption in the
00:14:33straight of homos and babal mandab there is huge
00:14:37pressure when it comes to the oil shipment that is
00:14:40translating into more inflationary pressure
00:14:44as well when we talk about gaza that remains to be
00:14:47unresolved although the bombardment
00:14:51on that scale isn't happening but it continues when it comes to
00:14:55as well Israeli atrocities in that
00:14:59particular onclave, we also know for fact that
00:15:03number of other measures which are being taken by the Israeli regime,
00:15:07when we talk about Israeli transgression towards
00:15:10Lebanon is also concerned, over here there are certain
00:15:14developments that took place in last few days that need to be
00:15:17mentioned, when we talk about that very important meeting
00:15:21between Iran's foreign minister Mr. Abbas Sarakchi and
00:15:25Chinese foreign minister Mr. Wongi and China has urged
00:15:29both the sides to resume negotiations and return to that
00:15:32framework that is known as Islamabad memorandum of
00:15:36understanding or Also it has offered any sort of
00:15:39role it could actually play in order to
00:15:43deescalate the situation at the same time putting
00:15:46its weight behind Iran's right of
00:15:50sovereignty, security, dignity and the
00:15:54legitimate interests. What does that exactly mean? At the
00:15:57same time there is another development when we talk about the United States of
00:16:01America, Fox News in its latest poll
00:16:05says that around 60% percent the Americans
00:16:08believe that this decision the Trump administration to
00:16:12wage that invasion in the war against Iran was
00:16:16wrong and 71% believe that there is no
00:16:20clear exit strategy as far as Trump's administrations approach
00:16:24towards this conflict is concerned and
00:16:26also 47% Americans
00:16:29believe that this conflict is going to make
00:16:33America unsafe in the longer run.
00:16:37Also at the same time, there
00:16:39is very
00:16:40important thing that needs to be mentioned when we talk about that very first
00:16:44attack by
00:16:45the US and Israel against Iran on 28th of
00:16:49February
00:16:50in which there was one primary school in Minab that was
00:16:54targeted as result of which over 150
00:16:58people died including 120 school
00:17:01children now the UN fact finding mission
00:17:05report says their reasonable. grounds to believe that the
00:17:09US committed war crimes and this particular report
00:17:13has been rejected by the white house saying that
00:17:16America doesn't target civilians, these three very
00:17:20important developments and also the escalating situation when it comes to
00:17:24His and Saudi Arabia, what are the options with the kingdom lying right
00:17:28now? there are also reports that suggest there are
00:17:31certain interventions being made, there are reports that
00:17:35suggest that the US is trying to make contact with the hoothies in
00:17:39order to restrain them, also china has made
00:17:43contact with Iran in order to restrain
00:17:45houties in going ahead with their
00:17:49activities in the region, all these important aspects of
00:17:53for discussion in this particular segment of today's show, for that we
00:17:57are honored to being joined by Miss Mantham, she is a
00:18:00journalist, joining us from Riyad, Saudi Arabia, Spanther, thank you very
00:18:04much for your time for being with us on unfold tonight really. that
00:18:08also we are honored to being joined by Miss Mikumary
00:18:11Isabel, she is um
00:18:14the the middle east and North Africa
00:18:18relations expert, thank you very much for your time,
00:18:22also for being with us on the show tonight, really appreciate that,
00:18:25let's begin with you,
00:18:29Smantha, when we talk about this escalating tension
00:18:32between His and Kingdom of Saudi
00:18:36Arabia, have tightened their grip
00:18:40around the Babel Mander, but there is a disruption that is
00:18:44being reported from there also, we know for fact that there was a huge pressure
00:18:47because the disruption in the straight of homose on the oil
00:18:51markets, the oil prices kept rising, what is the
00:18:55situation when it comes to this particular
00:18:59front between kingdom of Saudi Arabia and
00:19:01thehooties? well hello, good evening and it's
00:19:05lovely to join you from add: I'm here on
00:19:09the ground and yesterday evening we heard explosions
00:19:13and we felt our house here shake due
00:19:17to the impact and we had alert signals on our mobile
00:19:21phones that sounded a bit like house alarms so it woke us up
00:19:25around 3:30 am in the morning now this
00:19:28was a really scary experience and it made me realize as a
00:19:32journalist that this conflict the Iran war
00:19:36has now come to home, it's now here in Saudi
00:19:40Arabia, when we think the Hithis, we
00:19:44call them Iran aligned militia, that they are
00:19:47backed
00:19:48by Iran, and what has happened since July is that the Hutis have been
00:19:52attacking directly Saudi Arabia, they've been
00:19:55attacking different parts of mainly the
00:19:58southwest, Abbha,
00:20:01taiv, and then last week there was this attempt on
00:20:05perhaps Mecca, which the hoothies have... denied, but a drone was
00:20:09intercepted and fell onto the ground just south of
00:20:12Mecca, and given how this is the
00:20:15religious base for Muslims all around the world, that
00:20:19was extremely significant, and there were so many social media posts
00:20:23and outrage from the Saudi community that
00:20:26such a place would be targeted by the
00:20:30Houties, now over the past eight weeks, it's worth
00:20:34also saying that the Hutis have got this...
00:20:38um embargo on the west coast of Yemen and they have taken
00:20:42a hold there so they're making it impossible for the Saudis
00:20:46to export oil via the Babel Mandob straight. which is
00:20:50extremely narrow, much narrower than the straight of horms and so
00:20:54now the kingdom in terms of its oil exports is according to
00:20:58sources a deadlock position and uh
00:21:01Iran aligned militia in Iraq, in
00:21:05Yemen, Hezbulah in Lebanon, they are all
00:21:08surrounding the kingdom and we're in this point of
00:21:11stalemate, now crown prince bahammed
00:21:15bin Salmon according to sources, contacted
00:21:19us. contacted president Donald Trump, rank him
00:21:22twice on Friday, requesting for US
00:21:26military intervention to support with strikes against the
00:21:29hooties, and this was denied by President Donald Trump,
00:21:33he does not want to engage in another military conflict,
00:21:37as he's already now around $46 billion dollars
00:21:41into arms that have been used with
00:21:44Iran, and there are question marks over the um supplies
00:21:48and storage that... the US actually have to
00:21:51use, never mind, defend itself in the
00:21:54region, and so now we've reached this point,
00:21:58seek your pardon, you have given us an overview of what exactly the major
00:22:02developments have been when it comes to this specific front
00:22:06between his and kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
00:22:08now this particular, it has been reported number of
00:22:12media as to the request that you have already alluded to by crown
00:22:16prince muhammad bin Salman towards the United State. of
00:22:20America, as for your understanding, what could be the major
00:22:24reasons behind the US not
00:22:27coming directly to support the kingdom
00:22:31at this particular point in time, and as per your understanding,
00:22:35what could it potentially take to trigger that military
00:22:39support by the United States of America towards the
00:22:42kingdom? well, Donald Trump, I i
00:22:46believe, and and it's widely regarded that he hasn't intervened and
00:22:50sp the investment that NBS has made into the US
00:22:53economy, I think he hasn't stepped up and interveing due to the
00:22:56mid-terms that are now seven weeks away, and given that
00:23:00Donald Trump is at his lowest ever point in opinion polls and
00:23:04most Americans disapprove the war in
00:23:07Iran, it would figure that he's not willing to
00:23:11get involved with another conflict, civil war in this
00:23:14region, that's my take on it, now um,
00:23:18what's it going to take for the US? intervene, well that really is the big
00:23:22question right now, and what I've seen journalistically is that the
00:23:25BBC, Sky News, they have not been reporting this
00:23:29story, they have not been live reporting this story, giving
00:23:33information, and I find that really strange,
00:23:36writers have reported what's occurred in terms of uh king
00:23:40Khalid airport, there was a storage fuel tanker that was struck
00:23:44and there was huge black flames going up in the air around
00:23:48midday today in Riad. Uh, we don't know, it hasn't yet
00:23:52been confirmed that that was a hoothy strike, so we can't say where that came
00:23:56from. What's it going to take for the US to get
00:23:59involved? Maybe some more negotiations with
00:24:02NBS to Trump himself, perhaps the
00:24:06Mecca defense agreement with Pakistan, Turkey
00:24:10and Saudi Arabia, perhaps there will be conversations there with leaders that will
00:24:14say, actually, we are now going to step this up, and
00:24:16Pakistani air forces are going to get in. to
00:24:20help defend Saudi Arabia, or perhaps it's
00:24:24soft power and it's coming to the table in terms of negotiation,
00:24:28and this is something that uh US
00:24:31politicians have been asking for, Marco Rubio has wanted
00:24:35negotiations, but they've been applying pressure
00:24:38via um taking over Iran's economy and making it
00:24:42very difficult for Iran so they must hopefully come to the table
00:24:46and discuss and come to terms perhaps back to the mou.
00:24:50but for now this is what is scary about the number of very important points
00:24:54that you've already mentioned in this particular take also santha i'll
00:24:58come back to you for the number of other aspects i want your understanding
00:25:01about i'll move to miku what's your
00:25:05understanding when we specifically look at the
00:25:08approach by president donald trump what do you
00:25:12think would trigger any sort of a military help or support on the part
00:25:16the us towards the kingdom with this tightening? the
00:25:20grip by the othis and that clearly is causing a huge
00:25:24disruption when it comes to the oil exports the
00:25:26kingdom. yes, thank you so much for having
00:25:30me first um on your show and it's very
00:25:34hard to say what uh can trigger a US
00:25:37response or intervention, because for
00:25:41now um as it was previously
00:25:44mentioned the US is in well is
00:25:47expecting the mid terms. "and we know that
00:25:51Trump has done nothing uh of what he
00:25:55he he promised to the people, like he he promes no more wars
00:25:59and foreign interventions, and yet here we are.
00:26:03uh the US being involved again in the middle east and not
00:26:06only, so for now it's very hard to
00:26:10say, because um, unless the
00:26:13crown prince keeps insisting and
00:26:17wait after the midterms, I don't
00:26:21believe that the US will interfere no matter what, but
00:26:25what what if there was some actor, for
00:26:29example the hootis that would have been acting
00:26:32against Israel, so do you think the US's
00:26:36response would have been pretty much similar to what it is right
00:26:40now as far as the support is concerned towards the
00:26:44allies? um, no, if the hoot is
00:26:48would have attacked Israel, for sure you would have the US
00:26:52military bomb, yemen non-stop,
00:26:55so for sure there is difference how the
00:26:58US reacts when an arab count
00:27:02is being b and it's an ally, we we know that
00:27:06Saudi is ally to the United States and when Israel
00:27:10is being threatened or bombed. Okay, so
00:27:14Sanenta, what's your understanding, had there been
00:27:18Israel in question, do you think the similar sort of an approach
00:27:22on the part of Trump administration? I
00:27:26find it just so ironic that it was
00:27:29Israel's call to the US to take... on this war of choice in
00:27:33Iran that did it really need to happen, that was all
00:27:37about the nuclear powers of Iran, Iran cannot have
00:27:41nuclear capability, here we are seven months
00:27:44into the war in Iran and the discussion of nuclear capability is not
00:27:48taking place. Having said that, let's a little
00:27:52proceed a little further when we specifically talk about the the
00:27:56recent developments that have actually happened, I want your
00:27:59understanding uh, firstly... yours when it comes
00:28:03to China approaching Iran in
00:28:07order to urge them to restraint hoothies, do you think that sort of
00:28:11an intervention could be of any use? and also there are
00:28:14reports that suggest that there has
00:28:18been a contact established between the US and Houties,
00:28:22US asking Hutis to restrain themselves, do you think any the
00:28:26intervention out these two could be workable at the
00:28:29moment? I certainly hope so and do
00:28:32believe that the China call to Iran is extremely
00:28:36positive, we know that Iran and China have
00:28:40relationships, we cannot verify 100% what goes on, but there is
00:28:44strongly believed that Iran, well we know that Iran sells a lot of its
00:28:48oil to China, and there is the belief, there is there are those who
00:28:52report that China um has sent
00:28:56weapons to Iran and is involved in sort
00:28:59of a weapon relationship, both defense, and
00:29:02attacking military supplies to Iran, there are
00:29:06skeptics about that though, that isn't confirmed, but that is something that is
00:29:09considered to have happened, so the China Iran relationship
00:29:13is interesting, and given that we know so little about
00:29:17Iran, we wonder how seven months into this
00:29:20war, how are they still here? President Trump told us this would be
00:29:24four to six week thing, and the US military, the strongest military in
00:29:28the world would completely abolish the leadership a...
00:29:32Iran and there would be a takeover and the Iranian people would be
00:29:36liberated by the IRGC, well that hasn't
00:29:39happened and there has been this resurrection of new leaders in
00:29:43Iran and um running the country and continuing with
00:29:47their military campaign very strategically thinking about how they
00:29:51can have the upper hand on the US in the region, so
00:29:55China's talks here with Iran are extremely positive, China
00:29:59have been very quiet over this past seven months which... makes
00:30:03people nervous when you're quiet, they want to when you're sup when you're power like
00:30:06China, it's it's nervous, it's makes us nervous to think, like why aren't they saying
00:30:10anything, what's going to happen, what's going to come out of China, so I think this is a
00:30:14good thing, in terms of discussion US with the
00:30:17hoothies, I would love to know, I would love to be a fly on the wall like who
00:30:21is is it Marco Rubia, who is having these conversations and with whom
00:30:25in the hoothies, the latest statement from the hoothi chief was
00:30:29actually that the Houties were 100% percent
00:30:33ready to fight for what they believed in, in their
00:30:36sandals, with their swords, climbing
00:30:39mountains, very hungry, yemen is the
00:30:43poorest country in the world
00:30:44and that they were fighting for something that they all believed in, they're not
00:30:48in the position of US military who have been away from home
00:30:52for months and months and months - who are
00:30:56very unhappy on these um on these uh
00:30:59military ships in the Middle East. And
00:31:03um, I also found it.
