00:00:00waiting in the same place where she last knew her son
00:00:03existed. Malcan's body was never recovered. His
00:00:07story reminds us that the deepest
00:00:09of wound of war is not only the lives it takes. Sometimes the
00:00:13greatest cruelty is leaving mother with nowhere to hold her
00:00:17final
00:00:17goodbye.
00:00:24of
00:00:24of
00:00:27Lebanon signed the peace deal. "I know, I
00:00:31of of know p steel is doing lot of heavy lifting here, like calling
00:00:35hostage negotiation, a play date. Here's the
00:00:38setup, one side has tanks parked in the other side's backyard, the
00:00:42other side's resistant, the only force that
00:00:45in actually fought Israel to a stand still in this region for two
00:00:49of decades was even allowed in the room. That's not negotiation,
00:00:53that's the occupy writing the terms and calling it
00:00:56of diplomacy. Washington called it a good day, Israel's..." called it a
00:01:00major win, lebanon's government called it a first step towards
00:01:04sovereignty, but here's what the deal actually says:
00:01:08israely troops stay in southern Lebanon for as long as
00:01:12they want, no deadline, no exit date, meanwile the
00:01:15Lebanese army is handled the job, this arm the
00:01:19Islamic Resistance, the group that drove
00:01:22of Israel out of Lebanon
00:01:23of was before a strict timeline with Israel and Washington
00:01:27grading its progress, they
00:01:29of even built a
00:01:30a committee for it, the military coordination group, whose job
00:01:34of is to decide if Lebanon is being sovereign enough. Think about
00:01:37that, nation needs a permission slip co-signed by the
00:01:41country occupying it, to prove it controls its own
00:01:45territory, and while Lebanon
00:01:47of disarms its own defenders, Nitin Yahoo, a
00:01:50in man wanted by the international criminal court is
00:01:53celebrating, because the deal
00:01:55a lets his army stay exactly where it is, when the
00:01:59side facing war crime charges is the happiest person at the
00:02:03signing that tells you everything about who this deal actually
00:02:07serves. this is after months of Israeli strikes that killed
00:02:104,200 people and displace
00:02:14hundreds of thousands
00:02:15of of lebanese
00:02:16of civilians, of according to lebanon's own health ministry. now even
00:02:20rebuild their homes, lebanese families need their government to
00:02:24hit milestones approved by the
00:02:27of same countries that just bombed them. we have. seen this movie
00:02:30before
00:02:32of 1983, same promises, same playbook and even weaker lebanese
00:02:36garment and far more Israeli troops on the ground, it took
00:02:40the
00:02:40of lebanese people less
00:02:41of than year to rip
00:02:42of it to pieces and built a resistance that fought Israel
00:02:46out
00:02:47of their country instead. history already answered the question this
00:02:50agreement is pretending to ask. the only thing that
00:02:54ever restored lebanese sovereignty wasn't a signature in
00:02:58Washington, it was
00:02:59Resistance.
00:03:04of
00:03:21in
00:03:23of
00:03:32and of welcome
00:03:33of everyone's foreign ministry says a deal
00:03:35with oman a route through the strat hormose is in the final
00:03:38stages, but US and Israel still pose a danger to ships in
00:03:42this very vital waterway. spokesperson Ismaal Bago
00:03:46has said in
00:03:47a agreement in between Iran and Oman a shipping route through this waterway, it
00:03:51does not automatically guarantee safe passage or
00:03:55of a reopening, warning US military action in the region could still undermine security. he also
00:03:59cited: US has declared naval blockade on Iran and other quote
00:04:03aggressive and threatening actions against Iran and its interests and
00:04:07quote. Iran and Oman's pending announcement on Austrada hormos's new
00:04:10management regime, challenges from third party obstruction and
00:04:14threats and what this all means for the future of regional stability is
00:04:18focus of our
00:04:48negotiations between Iran and Oman regarding future
00:04:51operations, arrangements, forestrated hormoson, and how it may seem
00:04:55logical uh to many, yet unbearable and unacceptable
00:04:59to the... US and his friends,
00:05:02well, I think we've been here many times
00:05:05of before, in various guises where
00:05:09there is the tantalizing appeal
00:05:13of some sort of settlement that is going to study oil
00:05:17prices first and foremost um, but as we know
00:05:21there's been ires and
00:05:23agreements which have driven the
00:05:27oil price price down again and then there's been a lot of
00:05:30insider trading trading probably
00:05:34associated with the US administration and
00:05:37Israel
00:05:40um that is then um taken advantage
00:05:43the the price move and and then started hostilities
00:05:47again, as you pointed out in your introduction, the
00:05:51fact that there is an agreement between Iran and
00:05:55Oman um is a good thing a way,
00:05:58but that is not really the issue, the issue is how are
00:06:02the other parties going to react? um,
00:06:06there's, i saw briefly there was an attack on an
00:06:09Indian tanker not in the straight.
00:06:13all news, but clearly the situation is volatile
00:06:16everywhere. um, the thing is that
00:06:19Israel and the US seem intent on
00:06:23pursuing their current course. in Israel's case, it seems to
00:06:27be a course of self-destruction, and in the US's
00:06:30case, its military supremacy is clearly
00:06:34being eclipsed as not what they claim
00:06:38to be, um, I'm sure you're aware as I am
00:06:42the... number of missiles they've they've used and how
00:06:46their stop pile of weapons is diminishing,
00:06:50so I'm not sure where this where this gets us to from
00:06:53here on, but certainly the countries in
00:06:57the region, Oman, Saudi, Kuwait and other Gulf
00:07:01nations are a difficult position where that
00:07:05they are clearly to some degree beholden to
00:07:08Israel, as are many countries, not least through the...
00:07:12infrastructure and um information
00:07:15technology um, which which is something
00:07:19of a blackmail leaver um, but
00:07:23they they would clearly prefer
00:07:27to come to an agreement with Iran if they
00:07:30can, but they're being pulled in two directions, so I don't think
00:07:34it's possible to predict with any certainty what what
00:07:49on Iran and Oman sitting down for these discussions, which I should uh uh
00:07:52add clarify for our viewers, they're nothing new, they began
00:07:56in the very first days following the Iran a US seasfire back on
00:08:00April 8th, so they've been going on for a couple months now and uh they've
00:08:04actually entered a more serious phase after the June 18th
00:08:08agreement known as the Pakistani immediated memorandum of
00:08:11understanding.
00:08:27treaties going on in the world, from
00:08:30Dofor to Mountro, to
00:08:34Jabeltar, to Suas Canal,
00:08:37Bosford and so many others are,
00:08:41there is some kind of... treaties and
00:08:44agreements under the international
00:08:46law , and we see
00:08:50that they are getting fees under what so
00:08:54called service charge, and I
00:08:57believe they Oman and Iran have
00:09:01the right to to
00:09:04get such agreements between both
00:09:08them in order to get what so called service
00:09:11charge. so this is from one point, from the other
00:09:15point we can see if there is no American pressure
00:09:19on the gulf states and the Gulf
00:09:23states will put pressure on Oman not to go all the
00:09:27way along with the Iranian
00:09:30benefits and Omani's benefits.
00:09:34From the legal point of view we
00:09:38can see we are talking about two coastal countries.
00:09:42Oman and Iran and the intervention coming from
00:09:468000 mile miles away to
00:09:50interfere in who has right to do on his
00:09:53own water or
00:09:55land uh legal
00:09:58right so I believe if we take it
00:10:02from all those dimensions Iran and
00:10:06will get to a certain treaty what whatever
00:10:10they want to call it they will. call it as I said service
00:10:14charge or let's say transit
00:10:17fees or so on, but there is another thing that it
00:10:21should be taken right now uh and...
00:10:27and you know under what the minister of foreign affairs, the
00:10:30Iranian minister of foreign affairs said that the straight
00:10:34of hormos is open during peace time and it is
00:10:38closed during war time, so time so
00:10:42you have to choose, he's he's talking about the he's talking
00:10:46with the American and he's talking with the whole world if you want this
00:10:50straight of hormos to be open and normal so
00:10:54it must must bring, you must bring peace to this
00:10:57area. And Clive, do you think the US
00:11:01seeing, Iran and Omon too empowered
00:11:05by exercising their sovereignty and establishing this management
00:11:08system that they feel, at least with with Iran, you saw how they
00:11:12extended, how Iran extended the leverage the straight hormos to protect the
00:11:16people of Lebanon, how it uh, yet gas stations
00:11:20in California people paying an access of six to $7 a gallon for
00:11:24gas and for. international viewers that might not know what a gallon of gas, that's about
00:11:28what four to five liters of uh gasoline, so uh
00:11:32uh most of America was paying over four between four and $5 a
00:11:36gallon uh some states over six or
00:11:39$7 a gallon um do you think that that heads in a
00:11:43DC especially
00:11:44in the Trump cabinet not to mention how much a blowback Hexith got in front the the
00:11:47appropriations committee in front the senate with respect to rising gas prices, energy
00:11:51costs, how much you think uh that contributed to Trump? saying
00:11:55forget about the mou, we got to take somehow take a control the
00:11:59street hormos away from the Iranians.
00:12:02um, well, clearly that is that may be
00:12:06an ambition, but um, that doesn't seem
00:12:10possible in the context of what we've seen over the last few
00:12:13months, America doesn't have the wear with all to do
00:12:17that. um, I think we need to make
00:12:20distinct distinction between those
00:12:24who are... are ostensibly in power,
00:12:28but not really because their answer answerable to much
00:12:32higher authority that that is pulling the
00:12:35strings. um, is the American government
00:12:38acting in the interest the American people? undoubtedly
00:12:42it isn't otherwise this would never have started.
00:12:45so in many respects, what is going on
00:12:49is one but one component the war on us
00:12:53all, this is... to the the structure it in
00:12:57its death throat that is conducting a war
00:13:01across the globe against people uh people
00:13:04of of Europe, people the UK, people the US
00:13:08and and people globally um and the structure has no
00:13:12interest in reaching satisfactory deals, and those that
00:13:16are ostensibly in power are ocwing
00:13:20more well to insider trading and various
00:13:24deals. uh, I mean, there's a great land grab
00:13:27going on across across uh Gaza,
00:13:31Lebanon and beyond,
00:13:33um, the thing is in chaos,
00:13:37but um, nobody is really in control, they're responding to the
00:13:41incentives, um, but the
00:13:45they're now almost a position where they've gone so far, they
00:13:49have very little to lose by continuing the chaos,
00:13:53um, the only hope that we have is
00:13:56that the the populations the various countries
00:13:59withdraw all support, all cooperation and compliance with their
00:14:03governments, because this is obviously very
00:14:07visible and destructive and
00:14:11horrific situation with the number of deaths that
00:14:15occurring in the middle east, but there is a
00:14:18war going on domestically across Europe, UK and the
00:14:22US, and so... "it's really
00:14:26up to people to realize that in the main their governments are
00:14:30not acting in their interests uh, but they're playing the game with
00:14:34geopolitics and they seem to have no alternative
00:14:38but to keep doing what they're doing, otherwise we would have we wouldn't have got
00:14:42into this situation, and Ali, I'd like to also
00:14:46have you a way in on that, because Iran never exercised its
00:14:49control or leverage you very well know pre February uh 28th
00:14:53until its leader." until its top commanders, its political elite,
00:14:57its teachers, its students, families, infrastructure, we're all targeted
00:15:01by the US and Israel, and now it does not want to hold global
00:15:04energy in um, as hostage, you very well know, it just wants to
00:15:08deter future attacks against this aggression or aggression against the country,
00:15:12so in essence, the US opposing this new management
00:15:15system by Moscot and Tehran would only do it why, I mean if
00:15:19Iran is willing to establish a system that will streamline and allow
00:15:23full navigation, to conclude and transpire through the
00:15:27straight, no one should object, unless they have more
00:15:30machinations, plots and plans for future attacks against Iran, and don't
00:15:34want to see Iran with that deterrance capacity.
00:15:38Well let's see what's the outcome for United States and what's the
00:15:42benefit of United State if the state of
00:15:45horm was kept closed or
00:15:49blocked what's the interest of United of United States
00:15:53and what's the benefit of United States if to continue
00:15:56such such war against and aggression
00:15:59against the Iranian on behalf the Israelis
00:16:03and also where is maga, where is America first?
00:16:07they it comes out that it was you know i had
00:16:11some i have so many friends in united state and they are journalist
00:16:15they are telling me that the
00:16:19Israel is not a burden on the united state
00:16:22government ad or administration anymore it's a it's
00:16:26burdened on the American people
00:16:29and what you have said that one gallon of
00:16:33gasoline in some states is over $4
00:16:37and other states more than $8 per
00:16:40gallon, the American are paying
00:16:44extra money on gasoline every month
00:16:47for every individual more than
00:16:50$300, and this is big
00:16:53amount for the American to spend on something, they
00:16:57could buy a car, it will be like paying
00:17:01back mortgages on their cars or on a house or
00:17:05so for 300 or to 1000. thousand dollars at
00:17:08least, so I believe what's going on, I think
00:17:12there is a big economic cris or
00:17:15crisis coming up to United States, all
00:17:19because the United State wants to protect the Israelis
00:17:23and the superiority their security and not to
00:17:27protect Israel, but because Israel is protected by
00:17:30the some Arab countries geographically
00:17:34and let's... say
00:17:38some kind of strategy, deep strategy, geographically and
00:17:42politically and also economically, because we can see
00:17:45some state of
00:17:48normalizations in in the region, they are protecting Israel, they are
00:17:52supporting Israel, and they are also participating with the
00:17:56israelies against Palestinian and Lebanese, I'm talking military
00:17:59wise, the problem is right now is why
00:18:03United States should spend from 2001 to 2023.
00:18:07or 24, more than 13
00:18:11trillion dollar to protect the Israeli superiority in the
00:18:14region. what's what's for? if united state
00:18:18were was before attacking
00:18:20Iran, dominating or
00:18:23controlling the oil
00:18:26export from
00:18:29Persian Gulf states, I'm talking about the
00:18:33Arab states and they were ' free
00:18:37to go and to pass through
00:18:41straight of hormos or babel mandab
00:18:44freely, there was no, there was nothing against
00:18:48them to to be free in in
00:18:52the water ways, so for what if it
00:18:56comes to the American interest, the American interest
00:18:59is blown up by the Israel's protection
00:19:03and the the American strategy is spontaneous
00:19:07' as we see it up to now, usually usually
00:19:11we see on the past that the American strategy they
00:19:14have plan a, plan b, plan c, plan d, whatsoever,
00:19:18and when they can go back to plan a, they will do it
00:19:22if it's possible, now the United State has
00:19:26used all the plans from A to Z against Iran
00:19:30and nothing changed, so what they should do if they
00:19:34are grapped by the neck, Iran is... in them by the
00:19:38neck economically and still the big
00:19:42explosion not come yet, because if
00:19:45only the American and the Israelis and the
00:19:49Saudis are not allowed to either by
00:19:53Babel mandab or straight of hormos to pass, so what's gonna
00:19:57happen if the petro dollar will change, will switch
00:20:01to petro yan, then it will
00:20:05be a big step.
00:20:09deep in the heart the United States economy, so I believe right
00:20:13now they should change and they cannot refill
00:20:16their strategic reserve of oil, which
00:20:20is like more than 400 million barrel,
00:20:24and I believe they they need more time for that,
00:20:28but this is all connected to the 14
00:20:32points that been agreed upon on Islam in
00:20:35Islamabad, and the first one is... open straight of
00:20:38hormos against the stopping war and
00:20:42withdrawal the Israeli enemy from south lebanon this is
00:20:46didn't happen so and I think the Iran will
00:20:50still stubborn in such point and the straight of
00:20:54hormos will be kept closed or
00:20:58blocked until the American will
00:21:01let Lebanon free
00:21:04from the the
00:21:08K9 or from the Israeli
00:21:11aggression against it and then the straight of hormones
00:21:14will be opened and after that we will have another 60
00:21:18days to ' to have negotiations over
00:21:22the nuclear program only, nuclear program
00:21:26only, not the percentage of enrichment, only
00:21:30how to to manage it, that's it, and that's
00:21:34what the Iranian has put on the table, the American
00:21:37still trying from to z again all
00:21:41their plans and they come in with the
00:21:45same results out the Iranian, because the Iranian
00:21:48has much... "they have much
00:21:51more uh power or much more
00:21:54powerful in in strategy, in geography,
00:21:58and in the logistic ways against the United
00:22:10just other day said the mou is still there anytime the US wants to go back
00:22:14and get committed to it, and it was to Alice point goingna lay a
00:22:1860-day period. for diplomatic solution to find an
00:22:21end to aggression against the country that has so far failed to bear the
00:22:25fruits the US and Israelies wanted to see, and there's no um
00:22:29guarantee that continued or protracted aggression is ever going to reach
00:22:33US's objectives when it comes to Iran, so and it's also no secret,
00:22:36Clive, that Iran is using the straight to protect its people and its
00:22:40allies in the region, and by opposing this, I mean the US is
00:22:44preporting, it's opposing this because uh Iran's leverage over
00:22:47or a management system over the straight of hormose.
00:22:50uh because it wants to protect international shipping, but many uh critics
00:22:54feel no, it wants to obstruct any deterrance Iran has to
00:22:57protect itself against future US and Israeli
00:23:00aggression. well, there is much
00:23:04bigger context to this in terms the
00:23:07economic system, um,
00:23:10which runs on money, basically, uh,
00:23:14and that that system inevitably needs the
00:23:18reset, and in 200 and... was not a reset,
00:23:22all the debt that was driven up by banks and other
00:23:26financial player was socialized, so ever
00:23:30since um, and this economic collapse is
00:23:33unfolding irrespective of what's happening in the oil
00:23:36world, um, basically
00:23:39that the system works on the basis of people having
00:23:43the way with all to buy goods and services for which they pay
00:23:47money, but the the... increasing
00:23:51robotization, automation, AI, these
00:23:54all things are reducing the need for labor, so this,
00:23:58this system, this structure that we've lived on under for
00:24:02some 300 years, is now coming to the end of its useful
00:24:06life, and this is not the place to
00:24:09go into it, but an alternative is rising, but on the question
00:24:13the war, the reason that the war card is being
00:24:17played and there is no willingness on behalf
00:24:20the US, Israel and the other players to actually make
00:24:24peace, is that they are being forced into a position to play the war
00:24:28card, because they know that the game is up as far
00:24:32as the global economy is concerned, so we're we're a
00:24:36situation where they have no choice but to keep doing what they're doing,
00:24:40which is why I say the power has to come from
00:24:44the people of America, your other guess mentioned
00:24:47Marker make America great again. 'um
00:24:51basically the whole maga movement was a big smoke screen for
00:24:55actually making America less great than it ever
00:24:58was um, in fact destroying America as
00:25:02it was understood to be, so this
00:25:05is perpetual war is something that has been going on
00:25:09since 2001, is partially to
00:25:13distract, it's to increase surveillance, increase
00:25:16control, but they're losing control, individuals'.
00:25:20around the world are, particularly in
00:25:23Europe, the US and the UK
00:25:26are taking less and less interest in their government in
00:25:30terms of compliance, and the the they're
00:25:34making other arrangements, so so the problem
00:25:38is
00:25:38that we have economic collapse which is in progress, it's like
00:25:42slow motion train crash which is
00:25:44accelerating, and they seem to have other choice
00:25:48but to keep in. continuing continuing wars, not
00:25:52just in in the middle east, but we've got similar
00:25:56problems between um, pakistan in
00:25:59India, in Kashmir, uh... and
00:26:03elsewhere um, so war is, war is
00:26:07something that is always used to distract people from what's really going
00:26:11on in terms the way people are being
00:26:14abused and causing causing self
00:26:17abuse merely to survive, but that period is coming to
00:26:21an end and we're in the midst of a paradigm shift, and this
00:26:25war, like many the other madness that is going on
00:26:29at moment are indicative of a transition to something.
00:26:32you um, don't have
00:26:36any choice in what they do, because that's all they
00:27:11It was just after 10 o'clock in the evening, the Imam Hassan community
00:27:15gathering in the city of Ray had begun to empty. Eight year
00:27:19old Avin Amir Khashani, a little girl with brown hair, dimples and
00:27:23bright eyes, was walking hand in hand with her
00:27:26mother. Without warning, the night sky turned yellow,
00:27:29deafining explosion from the nearby oil. finary shook the
00:27:33ground beneath them, mom, mom, run, run, avina
00:27:37screamed, then came the dust, the smoke and the
00:27:40silence. the night before avine had
00:27:44written in her diary, dear leader, i want to become a martter like
00:27:48you, less than 24 hours later she died in
00:27:52her grandmother's arms. this is story of oven's brief
00:27:55life told through the memories of her mother, who was
00:27:59herself seriously wounded in the attack. When the war began,
00:28:03Layla recalls I rushed to collect ovine from school. Two fighter jets
00:28:07flew overhead and she kept asking what was happening. I told her, I
00:28:11think America has attacked, but don't worry, you're safe.
00:28:14Nothing will happen to you. As Laila reaches the
00:28:18night the explosion, her voice begans to shake. That
00:28:21evening, after breaking our fast, we went shopping for New Year's
00:28:25clothes. We bought ovine new pair of trousers. They were a
00:28:29little too long. I plan to shorten them later. yet
00:28:32never happened, her husband dropped Laila Vene and her younger
00:28:36brother at her mother's house. Together, they walked to the nightly
00:28:40gathering. Ovin happyly carried picture the martered
00:28:43leader. On their way home, everything changed, the
00:28:47refinery was struck. The flash was blinding, people scattered in
00:28:51every direction. Alvin kept shouting, mom, run, mom, run. I can
00:28:55still hear her voice. When the dust settled, I realized my hand had
00:28:58been hit by Sharpnow and my left leg had been severed below.
00:29:02ankle, her mother was holding ovine, she looked peaceful, there
00:29:06wasn't a scratched on her face, we thought she had simply lost
00:29:10consciousness, a stranger picked her up and ran towards the
00:29:13hospital, kept screaming, don't take ovine away, but i
00:29:17couldn't move, i couldn't even hold my own daughter one last
00:29:21time, for 10 days while layi in hospital, everyone told her
00:29:25avin was intensive care, only the day before the
00:29:28funeral did they tell her she had died, despite the pain, laila
00:29:32smiles when she remembers her daughter. She was like a bottle of perfume.
00:29:36Whenever she entered her room, she filled it with warmth. Everyone loved
00:29:40her. Today, perhaps no one feels Ovine's absence more
00:29:44deeply than her six-year-old brother, Amir Ali, who was also
00:29:47injured that night. He didn't just lose sister. Their mother
00:29:51says he lost his closest
00:29:53friend.
