00:00:00is success, unfortunately, as one looks at the price of
00:00:03gasoline right now, it's a very difficult
00:00:07position to sell. um, i would agree that it's
00:00:11not all that likely that we will see
00:00:13of kinetic action, a spike and us military
00:00:17force before the elections, because such a thing is
00:00:20of likely only to raise the price of oil. um,
00:00:24what happens afterwards is, i think truly anyone's guess, the other
00:00:28of side
00:00:28of the equation is what's happening in Iran uh we should remember
00:00:32that the US has
00:00:34of naval blockade of Iran, it's it's done from
00:00:37relatively far offshore, but it seems to be quite
00:00:40of successful in terms of accomplishing what it's trying. um, Iran
00:00:44depends on oil for between, I think 65
00:00:48to
00:00:49of 80% of its earnings and without those
00:00:52they uh
00:00:54talk a good game, but they have simply have to be
00:00:56in feeling a degree of pressure themselves
00:00:58of and uh "their their
00:01:00of economy
00:01:01of is uh slipping backwards pretty pretty quickly, so this this
00:01:05creates some incenters on their side, but uh, the question is, would
00:01:09of they be
00:01:09of enough uh for for a change
00:01:11in a position as the Iranians i think uh see a
00:01:15short-term a horizon within the United States? all
00:01:19of this
00:01:19of is of uh, it's going going to play out uh, for for
00:01:23now, but our own elections are only three weeks away
00:01:27uh, so the the odds would seem to be that..." neither side will make
00:01:31major concessions during this
00:01:34of period, we have
00:01:34of seen from the Iranians that the acknowledgement they have
00:01:38received the US proposal, they say
00:01:41of that of some elements of it they find acceptable, others
00:01:45of not, which is an interesting formulation, they've also been
00:01:49reaching out to the
00:01:50in saudies with regard to the hoothi issue and
00:01:53in the attacks trying to set themselves up as
00:01:56mediator, given that they are the huti's patron, they certainly have
00:02:00influence, but
00:02:01of they
00:02:01of are hardly an unbiased party, so all these multiple
00:02:04interlocking elements are going to be moving in different
00:02:08directions over the next few weeks.
00:02:12right, absolutely. um, dr.
00:02:13of camran, when we are looking at the situation with the rebels in Saudi Arabia, there is also what
00:02:17the UAE has talked about in terms of a joint gulf
00:02:21defense that needs to be put in place in light of this situation. um, there
00:02:25was of course some sort
00:02:26of of agreement in the past on the situation in Yemen between the UE south.
00:02:30Arabia
00:02:30of which later then of course they they
00:02:33of departed from, but in terms of what the current scenario is within
00:02:37the middle east, can the Gulf actually get together for a joint
00:02:41of defense coalition? a great question,
00:02:44so let me say that there is no shortage of intent for
00:02:48that kind of arrangement, the problem is one of
00:02:51capability, and and the gulf countries
00:02:55have for decades relied
00:02:57of on the United
00:02:58of States for for their collective. security and now that the
00:03:02United States is retrenching
00:03:05of and is rolling out this doctrine of burden sharing and burden
00:03:08shifting in response to which we have you know something like the Mecca
00:03:11accord and that's still an architecture in the making, it's difficult to
00:03:15see that the
00:03:16of Gulf states are going to be able to develop that kind of capability, these kind
00:03:20of
00:03:20of capabilities require many, many years to develop,
00:03:24and especially when starting points matter, where are you
00:03:28today, when we look at the Gulf? "if the
00:03:31in Saudis cannot deal with
00:03:32of the hoothis
00:03:34of and of the the UAE, these are the two big players in the Gulf,
00:03:38cannot defend itself effectively without external support
00:03:42of from Iranian missiles and drones, then
00:03:44of you have to ask the question, how long will it take for that
00:03:48capability to be up and running, and what kind of investment will it look like,
00:03:52and this is why the Saudis last
00:03:54of year in September
00:03:56of did the strategic mutual defense agreement with Pakistan and this..." year in
00:04:00August uh we saw the two countries join forces with
00:04:04Turkey to do the Mecca
00:04:06of accord, so this is the architecture that will that could
00:04:09potentially in several years down the line develop
00:04:13a regional security architecture to defend against
00:04:17Iran and you know it its allies and
00:04:20of partners in in the region, but beyond that I just don't see
00:04:24where the nuts and bolts are going to come from, for the Gulfs to have, for the
00:04:28Gulf states to have their own
00:04:30of architecture for their for their
00:04:32of region
00:04:33and and they're they're on the front line of all of this if you look at it
00:04:38of geographically right, thank you very
00:04:40of much dr. kamran for joining us and being a part
00:04:42of the news room today. mr. sandals, let me get back
00:04:45of to you about what course is happening with regards to these aspects and at least the
00:04:49rhetoric and discourse or what Dr. Kamran pointed out as intent,
00:04:53there is lot of discussion of that that's happening, of
00:04:56of course, we've seen alliances such as the maka court come forward, then is
00:05:00also what Qatar has
00:05:02of proposed in terms of looking inwards and developing alliances and having less of
00:05:06US intervention in the middle east, there is also what
00:05:09the what Saudi Arabia has called uh for the maritime
00:05:13coalition to be in place and now of course with the UAE calling
00:05:16for a joint Gulf defense situation, these are of course lot
00:05:20of aspects that these countries are looking at in terms of
00:05:24developing as part the future and what the
00:05:28direction should be now, where do you think that
00:05:31this change instance has come from and how is the
00:05:35US viewing these developments? we understand the US always called for more
00:05:38integration, but what does that really mean for the USA's presence within the Middle East?
00:05:44Well, when the Mecca agreement was signed, the United
00:05:47States, I think President Trump personally was quite positive about
00:05:51it, and one can look at the three countries and say they have
00:05:55capabilities that could be brought to bear, Pakistan, of
00:05:58course, has a large battle tested army,
00:06:02Turkey is ever more a presence in the
00:06:05international arms industry, so they are a
00:06:09position to be of assistance to Saudi Arabia and and the gulf
00:06:13states and they see their security as aligned with
00:06:16theirs. um, at the same time these things do take time
00:06:20to uh come to fruition, and in the meantime you have what's
00:06:24going on in the Gulf and you have what's going on in
00:06:28Yemen with the Huties, we see reports that Pakistan
00:06:32is providing a measure of assistance uh to uh
00:06:35Saudi Arabia in this and
00:06:39I I'm pretty confident that the United States "yes it is
00:06:43no longer uh uh we say the
00:06:46forefront of golf defense, but neither has
00:06:50it walked away uh, and when you're talking about
00:06:53intelligence sharing, which is absolutely vital in modern warfare, when
00:06:57you're talking about logistical capabilities, which is equally
00:07:00important. the United States is a position to provide
00:07:04assistance uh a way that probably few if any other
00:07:08country is able to do so. um, at the same time it is certainly
00:07:12true..." the damage done to US installations in the
00:07:15Gulf, many of which were really kind of uh
00:07:19installed and beefed up during the Iraq war and the
00:07:22Afghanistan war, um, they they have been damaged and I
00:07:26would be surprised if we return to having the same level of
00:07:30physical presence in the Gulf as as we had uh
00:07:33earlier uh, but uh the U.S. remains
00:07:36a key part the
00:07:39equation. Right. Mr. Sanders,
00:07:43the situation now that is of course developing in the middle east also
00:07:47has implications for Israel's presence and it's
00:07:50own interests in the region, how has that been
00:07:54affected by the current developments and what will be the US stance on
00:07:58that? Well, I'm sure Israel is on
00:08:01edge, the last thing they want is for the fighting to
00:08:05somehow extend to them for either Iran or the who uses to start
00:08:09firing missiles there uh do for. even
00:08:13before the United States and I'm sure would prefer not to
00:08:16have that clouding the electoral environment for
00:08:20now, but if they feel threatened they will respond, they have
00:08:24said that historically and and
00:08:26recently, so yes we could we could see Israel being drawn
00:08:30in if this turns into a larger war, Israel of course
00:08:34has issues of its own with Gaza with hisballah and
00:08:38Lebanon, and if it can stay out
00:08:40of an... increased direct involvement actions
00:08:44against Iran uh that might be in its interest at least for the near
00:08:48future right and when we see these
00:08:52developments taking place
00:08:53there is of course um the ways in which this is
00:08:56impacting the geopolitical scenarios worldwide and
00:09:00not just in the region uh there have been a lot of changes of course in not
00:09:04just Israel and the US relationship but also with the US and other
00:09:08entities outside the middle east as well particularly the EU. how do you
00:09:12think that that this conflict with Iran is
00:09:15changing these dynamics and what the current
00:09:19alliances have been and how they are likely going
00:09:22evolve in the
00:09:24future? well, it's
00:09:28unquestionable that within Europe, there is is
00:09:32unhappiness as to how events have evolved in the
00:09:36Persian Gulf. Europe, just like the United States is
00:09:39facing the cost of high... high oil
00:09:43prices in in terms of gasoline and diesel
00:09:47uh, so they they have been affected by a situation
00:09:51that from their point of view was not their making, at the same
00:09:55time they have an interest is strong or stronger than the United States
00:09:58in security in the Middle East, the Middle East
00:10:01is their neighborhood and a way that
00:10:05it isn't with the United States, under President Trump there's been a
00:10:09lot of unhappiness that the Europeans did not join
00:10:14the the initial effort against Iran and it
00:10:17seems that until the
00:10:21the situation becomes somew more stable, it's hard to see them.
00:10:25uh engaging directly, if some kind of equilibrium were to be
00:10:29reached, Europe, it does have certain military
00:10:33capabilities, the European navies, etc. that could
00:10:37be part of a peacekeeping operation
00:10:40of some kind to to maintain the the flow
00:10:44of oil out the region, but I think that's all something
00:10:48for for the future
00:10:49for now, I say Europe is watching and waiting
00:10:52nervously as events.
00:10:57Right, um, with Iran of course, reviewing the US response to
00:11:00the proposal it earlier shared over the straight offerms, what do you think will be the likely
00:11:04response coming out of Iran, they've said of course what's the review is complete, they'll be
00:11:08passing on the message to the intermediaries uh, but it seems that uh
00:11:12primarily what is under discussion is whether or not
00:11:16there will be a way forward first on the straight of firmus and then the
00:11:20Iranian nuclear program, what is the likely expectation the us
00:11:24from from here? "well certainly to judge by
00:11:27Iranian public statements, they are not uh,
00:11:31they're not ready for for deal. At the same time we have to
00:11:35understand both sides have got their
00:11:38political audiences both within their own countries and in the
00:11:42larger region, so we don't know whether what is being said, what
00:11:46messages are being passed on, may in fact indicate
00:11:50a little more daylight than what we're seeing in the comments coming out
00:11:53of Tehran and coming." Washington as well
00:11:57uh, one wants to be hopeful, but at the same time what are we seeing going
00:12:01on? um, tankers are
00:12:03being attacked in the Gulf, uh,
00:12:07the uh, the US is maintaining its blockade, which is
00:12:11hurting Iran greatly, uh, the Huthi attacks on the
00:12:15airport, uh, so it's hard to say if if the actual
00:12:19uh, military activity is ratcheting
00:12:22up, uh, it would seem, unlikely
00:12:26that at least in the immediate future uh the
00:12:29negotiations are are headed for for success, that
00:12:33doesn't mean there may not be an end point, as the saying is, every war
00:12:37must end,
00:12:39but uh, for now we seem to be heading at least for the next few weeks
00:12:42into a period of more intense conflict rather than reduced
00:12:46conflict. right, and given
00:12:50these developments taking place, do you think that
00:12:53primarily what? whatever is being discussed as part of
00:12:57uh what the mediators are of course is trying in terms of diffusing tensions
00:13:01is going to be delayed till the mitim elections? well
00:13:05our midterm elections are very close now, we're we're talking three weeks
00:13:08and negotiations to
00:13:12end wars do not have that kind of time table uh they they
00:13:16always are are quite painful uh with
00:13:20different proposals, different mediators so I would be
00:13:24surprised. if we saw some kind of uh agreement uh reached
00:13:28immediately, ahead the elections, I'm sure President Trump would be
00:13:32thrilled to have something uh, because the uh the war is not
00:13:35popular in the United States and and you can draw a direct line
00:13:39from you, the the beginning the war to high gasoline prices
00:13:43and from there to to Trump's popularity and the popularity
00:13:47of his party um at the polls, so uh I
00:13:51think if he could pull rabbit out of his hat he would do so, "but
00:13:55I don't see any reason to think that in this extremely reduced
00:13:59time frame uh we're going we're going to
00:14:02reach reach an ag agreement further down the line
00:14:06as each side starts to measure the pain it is giving out the
00:14:10pain it is receiving uh we may see some changes uh
00:14:14and who knows what are in the uh proposals there may be
00:14:18elements in the US proposal that Iran finds
00:14:21attractive um at the same time the nuclear issue remains"
00:14:25uh really the original uh cause of everything that's going on
00:14:28in the middle east now and um you
00:14:31know Iran uh seems very reluctant to
00:14:35give up the the kind of enrichment capabilities that the US
00:14:38finds so unacceptable right thank you
00:14:42very much Mr. Richard Sanders for joining us and being a part the news room today
00:14:46there's of course lot of development taking place between Iran and the United States and
00:14:50the developing situation between the huti rebels in Saudi Arabia continues to impact that and
00:14:54will be talking more about that as it evolves, next we're going to take a look at what is
00:14:58happening within Pakistan uh with the federal cabinet uh
00:15:02moving for the emergency and government rule that has been approved by the president
00:15:06under article 232 and 234, it'd be important to see what that means in
00:15:10terms the future in KP and of course the fight against terrorism which is
00:15:14primarily the premise for this decision, for that we've been joined by Mr.
00:15:17Zaya Shah Sherazi who is the senior journalist, thank you very much Mr. Shirazi for being part the
00:15:21show, when we're looking at what has been uh now approved by
00:15:25the president in KP in terms the emergency and governor
00:15:29rule, what has been cited as the prime reason behind it is
00:15:33the deliberate disengagement from the policy of terrorism in KP, what is
00:15:37that? mean in terms of how the KP government has not been
00:15:40able to cater for the terrorism policy within the
00:15:44province or to curtail the incidents of terrorism
00:15:47there. thank you very much. i think the
00:15:50the most important priority this time
00:15:54in KP is the fight against terrorism and soon
00:15:58as you mentioned after the imposition of
00:16:01governor's rule and emergency in some 12
00:16:05districts the kaibar. province which were mostly the
00:16:09former FATA areas and five the settle
00:16:12districts which are still very volatile and we can say there
00:16:16is literally no rate the government. as far
00:16:19as the former PTI government's policy was concerned, it was totally in
00:16:23negation to the what the Pakistan's policy against war
00:16:27and terror is. as a state policy they were opposed to what the
00:16:31federation was trying to do in countering terrorism and that is the
00:16:35reason why they it cost them their government. even today
00:16:39very important meetings were held, for the first time the apex committee met
00:16:42under the governor KP who is also the administrative
00:16:46charge in the province now after the imposition of governor's
00:16:49rule and the main priority was to focus
00:16:53on expediting the war on terror, increasing the intelligence waste
00:16:57operation and also intelligence sharing among different
00:17:00departments and second thing which was
00:17:04discussed during this epix committee meeting was the
00:17:07rehabilitation, revival and the governance issue
00:17:11of majority these 12 districts which are now
00:17:15reeling under the threat of terrorism, not only
00:17:17inside the
00:17:19the the province but also across the border, because majority these
00:17:23districts are along the park of one border where a serious
00:17:27war, rather we cannot say it's a militancy, but it's a kind of a full
00:17:31fresh proxy war which is being launched against Pakistan from
00:17:34the western border, so I think the priority... mostly now
00:17:38the new administrative setup is to counter
00:17:42terrorism, to root out terrorism, not only inside but also
00:17:46across the border, and for that they are you weaving for some
00:17:50counter terrorism measures apart from strengthening the police and
00:17:54counter terrorism department as well the lawment agencies.
00:17:57yes, right, and mr. shirazi, when we're looking
00:18:00at then the emphasis on Pakistan in terms
00:18:04of its engagement against the terrorist. activities, there's a lot of
00:18:08discussion around what is eminating from within the Afghan
00:18:12Taliban regime and Pakistan has at every platform emphasized
00:18:15that there needs to be more action by the Afghan taliban regime in terms the safe evens
00:18:19and terrorist organizations that exist there, how exactly do you
00:18:23think that Pakistan's decision with regards to the
00:18:27emergency and governor KP is going to be important in this
00:18:30fight? well importantly I think
00:18:34the fall out the Afghan
00:18:37regimes uh taking over power in qabul was
00:18:41ultimately very serious for the khibra and
00:18:44Balochistan because soon after the takeover of Kabul more than
00:18:484500 and plus hardcore TTP
00:18:52militants they were set free from Afghan jails so it means this was the
00:18:56turning point and majority these terrorists were
00:19:00from Saad Taliban from north waziristan
00:19:04from South Waziristan from Bajor from Monman. and some
00:19:08them were even from the settle districts inside KP, so majority these
00:19:11people are have to return to their own
00:19:15countries, because earlier the former Ashraf ghani government, it has captured
00:19:19majority them, they were in jail, so I think some their top leadership was
00:19:23also in jail, including Nour Wali Masud, Mulla faqiir and a
00:19:26couple of others, but after their takeover, the the first fall out
00:19:30was the arrival these terrorist elements which in
00:19:34one way or the other managed to cross the border and come to Pakistan and the
00:19:38policy of rehabilitation by the the former PTI
00:19:41government and even we can say it was part the Pakistani state
00:19:45policy that these people should be rehabilitated and they should be revived, but
00:19:49they counted back and that is the reason today
00:19:52the fallout is very serious in almost all the tribal areas. now what
00:19:56the next plan is there is a coordination council formed for 12
00:19:59districts and today you might have heard depty prime
00:20:02minister and the information minister he was very
00:20:06critical of what the afghan taliban regime had been doing and what
00:20:10they are pursuing, so the the message was again very clear that Pakistan
00:20:14can only tolerate if Afghan taliban regime take
00:20:18action against the terrorist elements stop allowing their soil to use
00:20:22against Pakistan, so now both these counter terrorism
00:20:25measures across the border and inside Pakistan, I think they are very
00:20:29much important and a couple of days back there was a
00:20:33categorical statement from the core commanders meeting where
00:20:36CDF has very clearly conveyed
00:20:40that no internal compromise on the internal security
00:20:44and there would be no compromise on threat from across the
00:20:48border, it means Pakistan is now heading towards a
00:20:51multian inner and outer strategy to counter terrorism
00:20:55not only across the border but also inside Pakistan
00:20:58and there is a likely that the new administrative
00:21:02setup is likely implement the national action
00:21:05plan in letter and spirit that is the return of
00:21:09refugees taking action against all those terrorist elements
00:21:12who are operating against the Pakistani state,
00:21:16all those elements who are patronizing, financing, supporting,
00:21:20and providing them shelter, so it means now the action is
00:21:24very directed and it is likely as today was also
00:21:28mentioning that Pakistan is going to get rid of terrorism
00:21:32first and then the development is likely to come after that, so that
00:21:35that is very true and important crix the policy
00:21:39now the Pakistani state is pursuing. Right, Mr.
00:21:43Shazi, what then would you say with regards to
00:21:47understanding this particular decision by the federal? cabinet and the president in
00:21:51terms the need for article 232 and
00:21:54234 and exactly what does it address,
00:21:58especially in terms of the kind of counter narratives that we're
00:22:01hearing
00:22:02from the KP government and PT officials, how important it is for the public to
00:22:05understand what has been the basis the decision by the federal cabinet and
00:22:09how this decision is uh primarily motivated
00:22:13by ensuring that there is peace in the province. well
00:22:16i think you know article 232, 234 and even
00:22:20invoking article 245 for the deployment
00:22:24the armed forces, i think the armed forces are already deployed, they were
00:22:28deployed on the request the provincial government because in some parts the
00:22:32KP the line order situation was out of control and that was the reason that
00:22:36the military was deployed there, it was fighting the terrorists, then article
00:22:39232 and 234, you know the implementation
00:22:43of emergency in 12 districts and the
00:22:47implementation and invoking governor rule in
00:22:51rest the province, the reason is now there is no administrative setup,
00:22:54the provincial assembly is held in abince, so it means you need a proper
00:22:58mechanism to run the system and governor is likely to run that, then the 12
00:23:02districts, they are very important, seven them are the former fata districts which
00:23:05are mostly along the park border and they are very much volatile,
00:23:09still the the military operation which is carried out against the terrorists,
00:23:13their bases were whipped out, they were thrown out of
00:23:17Pakistan, but again as you you already mentioned because the Afghan
00:23:21taliban regime takeover and because the
00:23:25PTI government's counter you know
00:23:29counterproductive narrative of not fighting the
00:23:32terrorists, opposing the return of Afghan refugees,
00:23:36then criticizing
00:23:38the the federation for their Afghan policy, so all these
00:23:41issues were very much counterproductive for
00:23:44the narrative the state was pursuing in front
00:23:48the international community. "and
00:23:51that pretext was also used by the Afghan Taliban regime as a you
00:23:54know as a pretext and as as a
00:23:57justification to criticize the Pakistani state that TTP
00:24:01and all these issues are Pakistan's internal issues, but now after invoking
00:24:05these articles, these are all you know according to the
00:24:09constitution mayors, there is nothing unconstitutional and that
00:24:13was very much with the endorsement of all the political
00:24:16parties with the persuasion and"
00:24:21the or recommendation the prime minister and then the
00:24:24the the chief executive president of Pakistan Asif Ali he endorsed
00:24:28that it means overall the Pakistani state
00:24:31the Pakistani political system and the
00:24:34establishment they are on one page that how they are going to fight terrorism
00:24:38so it mean it's Pakistan's sovereinity which
00:24:42has to be safe guarded and this is the only way that there is a
00:24:46one narrative union narrative to fight terrorism and to rest for
00:24:50peace because without restoration of peace I don't think so that the
00:24:53BRI project, the CPAC are the mineral exploration that would
00:24:57be you know practically possible in the
00:25:01trouble 12 districts which are now given under a special
00:25:05coordination consul so it means
00:25:07the the administrative there would be two administrative setup one is the coordination council
00:25:11which which will be managing the the districts which
00:25:15are under threat and the second is the governor's rule which will be
00:25:19overall charge the administrative mayad and the governance issues the
00:25:22entire KP province. Right, thank you very much Mr.
00:25:26Shirazi for joining us and being a part the news room. There is of course uh an
00:25:30important move forward in the fight against terrorism and bringing peace in the country and that has
00:25:34always been Pakistan's priority. That's all that we have from the news room today. We'll now see
00:25:38you
00:25:38tomorrow.
