00:00:32"the headlines may suggest that the war is
00:00:35in slowing down, the battlefield suggest something very different. For the first
00:00:39time in nearly two weeks, the United States of America carried out no overnight
00:00:42strikes deep inside Iran over the weekend. On paper, that
00:00:46sounds like the escalation. In reality, it looks more like the
00:00:50calm wild, both sides reposition for something
00:00:53bigger. The clearest sign came from President Donald Trump himself. He
00:00:57publicly framed Washington's choices as either. continuing to bomb Iran
00:01:01into submission or reaching a negotiated
00:01:04in settlement, but while speaking about
00:01:06a diplomacy, reports indicate that his advisors are simultaneously
00:01:10presenting him with a broad list of targets and military
00:01:14options for
00:01:14of what of is being
00:01:15in described as major strike designed to break Iran's
00:01:19will, because apparently in Washington diplomacy works best when
00:01:23it's conducted with smart bombs sitting on the conference
00:01:26table. At the same time, a senior ani delegate. was in
00:01:30Tehran advancing negotiations
00:01:32of the future management
00:01:33of the straight of hormos, the talks reportedly focused
00:01:37implementing the June 23 understanding and creating a joint
00:01:41Iranian umani mechanism to coordinate shipping,
00:01:45navigation services and maritime costs while respecting the sovereignty
00:01:48of both coastal states. That matters because
00:01:52Hormus remains one
00:01:54of the world's most strategically important waterways.
00:01:57Keeping it stable doesn't just reduce. regional
00:02:00of tensions, it
00:02:02of buys time, but buying time is not the same as buying peace.
00:02:05meanwhile, the military pressure never truly stopped. the
00:02:09United States of America reportedly disabled the navigation vessel
00:02:12of Lavine by striking its engine room after accusing it
00:02:15of
00:02:17of violating the maritime blockade.
00:02:19of another tanker arriving from the Gulf of Oman was also targeted under the
00:02:22suspicion that it has
00:02:25of transported a
00:02:26of Iranian gas. all the while the US
00:02:30continues its
00:02:31of massacres inside Iran. According to the Iranian ministry of health, US attacks, since June
00:02:35of 27 have killed 59 people and wounded another
00:02:38666. So while television cameras
00:02:42focus on diplomatic meetings and carefully choreograf
00:02:46statements, if you will, military planners are still updating
00:02:49target lists, moving assets and preparing for the next
00:02:53of phase. The absence of explosions should not be mistaken for the
00:02:56presence of peace. This war is not. not winding
00:03:00down, it's just holding
00:03:02of its breath. welcome to the mad
00:03:04stream:
00:03:10of while diplomatic channels appear to be opening between
00:03:14Iran and the United States of America, the shadow of military escalation
00:03:17continues to dominate the region. In this segment, we examine whether the
00:03:21pause and American strikes and the armani mediation
00:03:25efforts represent a real and genuine path toward the
00:03:29escalation. or merely a temporary pause before a wider
00:03:32confrontation that could reshape the US military footprint
00:03:36in West Asia. To discuss this issue with us from Beirot is Miss
00:03:40Khala Walsh, political analyst and
00:03:47Donald Trump has presented the situation as a choice
00:03:51between continuing military pressure on Iran or actually reaching a
00:03:55negotiated settlement, while uh, younow report suggest that
00:03:59Washington is sign. simultaneously preparing options for
00:04:02major strike as per the logistics in the region, from your
00:04:05assessment, is this genuine diplomatic opening, or
00:04:09maybe is diplomacy being used here as a cover for
00:04:12continued escalation and aggression, and what be would be actually the
00:04:16of consequences of choosing the military path against the Islamic Republic of
00:04:20a Iran? well, this cease fire is like any other
00:04:24ceastfire held with the US and Israel, and that the
00:04:27US and Israel have never respected a... fire, whether it is in
00:04:31Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, or Iran, as
00:04:35in we're seeing now, there was an agreement, this 14 point
00:04:39memorandum of
00:04:40of understanding brokered by Pakistan, which the US has been violating since
00:04:44day one, first and foremost with their refusal
00:04:48to enforce an Israeli withdraw and cease fire here in
00:04:52Lebanon, as well as their refusal to respect Iran's
00:04:56management
00:04:56of the straight of hormoz, and so I think we're in the
00:04:59in situation. now where the mid-terms are approaching, this war is deeply,
00:05:03deeply, deeply unpopular with the US people,
00:05:07and Trump wants to be in the situation where there is a war, but not a
00:05:10war at the same time. so these attacks have escalated,
00:05:14especially over kind of two weeks after right, starting right
00:05:18before the burial of Said Khamenei, and we saw just this weekend
00:05:21attack stopped since Friday, and there are reports that this is because
00:05:25panic within the Trump administration that they are running out their
00:05:29interceptor missiles, which were already greatly, greatly depleted
00:05:33during the initial uh war of aggression, the all-out war of aggression against
00:05:37Iran, and so we're seeing that, diplomacy is
00:05:41consistently used as... the cover for continued military
00:05:44aggression, that the US is trying to put Iran a box and
00:05:48claim Iran is the one violating the agreement when Iran defends
00:05:52itself, all of Iran's strikes have been retaliatory
00:05:55operations, targeting US bases in the region, where
00:05:59these attacks on Iran are being launched from, and dozens of Iranians have been
00:06:03murdered uh since this so-called memorandum of understanding
00:06:06since the so-called ceasefire was supposed to have taken place, and so what is
00:06:10beyond clear is that the war is... over even if it hasn't returned to the
00:06:14scale uh that it was a couple months ago, but I do think we will
00:06:18see return to all-out fighting, something that Trump is
00:06:21ideally trying to stave off until the mid-terms because his popularity
00:06:25is just so low in the US right now. Well, we're also seeing
00:06:29a Omani mediation, which is a track that appears focused
00:06:33on stabilizing maritime movement through the straight of
00:06:37hormos and preventing further escalation. However,
00:06:40with American forces. still just deployed across the region and military
00:06:44assets being repositioned, as we mentioned before, do you believe that Washington
00:06:48has underestimated Iran's ability to actually absorb all
00:06:52of this pressure and respond asymmetrically be it
00:06:56against US interest and bases in west Asia which which doesn't seem to
00:07:00stop, if
00:07:01the USS is think that they're going to halt and maybe try talks again, I don't think Iran
00:07:05will fool for it, or am I mistaken? absolutely, I think
00:07:09if Washington had a correct assessment of Iran's
00:07:13capabilities to withstand this war, they never would have launched it in the
00:07:17first place, they believed that uh
00:07:21all-out strikes on Iran that assassinating the
00:07:24leader would immediately lead to the government
00:07:28collapsing, they deeply underestimated the unity the Iranian
00:07:32nation, the strength of Iran's asymmetrical
00:07:35warfare, and the ability the people to
00:07:39continue the revolution and to continue the resistance despite the... them and
00:07:43loss their leader. In fact, when I was just in Iran, I saw
00:07:46that actually the loss the leader has made people more emboldened and
00:07:50more resistant and fierce against US imperialism than ever.
00:07:54It's brought together people across the Iranian political spectrum,
00:07:58even uh, maybe they have issues with the government, but they
00:08:02are absolutely against the US and the Israeli occupation
00:08:05interfering in their sovereignty, and they are doing everything they can to
00:08:09defend Iran's sovereignty. And the question of say, the
00:08:12military weapon stock piles is a great example of this.
00:08:16the US has lost so many radar systems, air defense
00:08:20systems across the region that Iran
00:08:24has targeted very strategically, and those will take years
00:08:27and years and billions of dollars to replace, whereas Iran
00:08:31with its uh indigenous domestic weapons
00:08:35production industry, it is able to recover very quickly, it is
00:08:39able to produce missiles, drones uh, much faster
00:08:43pace and a much lower cost than the US and the Israeli
00:08:47occupation and so its recovery uh during
00:08:50this fake cease fire period has been much faster, it's been
00:08:54able to
00:08:55you know dig out its missile tunnels and underground cities that may
00:08:59have been the the entrances may have been targeted and covered
00:09:03up but the supplies inside are still in good
00:09:06shape and this is why the US is panicking
00:09:09this is why the US knows it needs to continue this war since it's lost
00:09:13so hard and it has not achieved its objectives, it's constantly revised its
00:09:16objectives publicly due to its failures uh while
00:09:20Iran has been able to continue
00:09:22a much more stable pace because it has sovereignty over its own
00:09:26production, it has developed this uh system
00:09:30despite decades and decades of sanctions that have actually had reverse effect
00:09:34in some ways and that it's forced aron to uphold its
00:09:37sovereignty and to find ways to bypass
00:09:40you know dependency on the west and dependency. on all these states that
00:09:43are sanctioning them and the US has really you know
00:09:47put itself a trap and the Israeli occupation has the same issue, by
00:09:51the time that most the fighting had uh
00:09:55become less, the Israeli occupation was running very low on
00:09:59interceptor missiles and so this is also why Iran has
00:10:03targeted Jordan so much in the past few weeks, of course these attacks are being
00:10:06launched from US bases in Jordan, but Jordan is also a key
00:10:10site from which Iranian M travel towards US bases in the
00:10:14region and towards the Israeli occupation and so they're working on
00:10:18weakening the US radar systems and air defense systems and this
00:10:22is
00:10:22what i want to discuss with you call because uh "the American
00:10:26capabilities are at somewhat of cliff hanger at the moment,
00:10:30we
00:10:30don't if it's gonna collapse or not, but after previous US military
00:10:34interventions across the region, many critics argue that Washington
00:10:38often did achieve like tactical victories, this time
00:10:41no, it suffers long-term strategic setbacks, and
00:10:45if this confrontation continues to expand as we seems to to
00:10:49happen, like Yemen and Lebanon and Iraq, how vulnerable is the American
00:10:53military presence in West." Asia as a collective hole, and
00:10:57could in attempt to weaken Iran ultimately accelerate the
00:11:01decline of US influence in the region rather than just
00:11:04strengthen it in contrary to what the US media is saying?
00:11:08absolutely, as I said, the war is certainly not over yet, but I think we've already
00:11:12seen in the past few months the US has been forced to withdraw their presence. I
00:11:15mean, first we saw all these US soldiers and leaders leaving
00:11:19bases and hiding in hotels, literally using civilian shields
00:11:23in say the Gulf countries. because Iran was effectively
00:11:27targeting their bases, we've seen many
00:11:30bases uh be significantly damaged with which the Trump
00:11:33administration has tried to cover up, but even US media has exposed
00:11:37just how significant the extent the damage is, and in
00:11:41some bases, like I believe in Bahrain's fifth fleet,
00:11:45the the presence, the families and the soldiers living there have been
00:11:49forced to return to the US altogether, and so what
00:11:53the US has done in fact is... accelerate its own decline uh,
00:11:56it's isolated itself from its allies, because now what you
00:12:00get from being a US ally is your country gets targeted and
00:12:04destabilized and thrown in economic limbo when you are
00:12:07host to US military bases, they do not provide uh this
00:12:11protection,
00:12:12this lie that we've been told that having US bases in your country uh
00:12:16provide protection, no they make you a target when you are using your territory to
00:12:20launch aggression against Iran or against any country for that matter, and
00:12:24so we have seen a acceleration the decline of US
00:12:27hegemmany, and I think the more that the US
00:12:29is forced to withdraw, to diminish its presence in the
00:12:33region, that also makes the Israeli occupation far more vulnerable,
00:12:36because the US empire and the Israeli occupation are are
00:12:40intertwined, they are part the same entity, and so that's what
00:12:44we hope to see here in Lebanon sooner rather than later, but
00:12:48everything is not under our control, so we have to wait and see what happens next. I want to
00:12:52thank you very much, Miss Carla Walsh for joining us to discuss this.
00:13:27As the conflict expands beyond traditional battlefields, new front
00:13:31in the red sea threatens to turn a regional confrontation into a
00:13:35global economic challenge. In this segment we examine why Saudi
00:13:39Arabia's renewed confrontation and aggression against Yemen
00:13:42could carry far reaching consequences. What escalation
00:13:46options remain available and how any disruption to Babel Mandib
00:13:50could reshape global trade and energy security? More
00:13:54detail. just when
00:13:58many believed the regional war had reached its limits, another
00:14:02front has burst into flames. Saudi Arabia has now found itself
00:14:06pulled directly back into confrontation with Yemen, move that
00:14:10risks transforming an already volatile regional conflict into
00:14:13a maritime and economic crisis with global
00:14:17consequences. The latest escalation began with Saudi air strikes
00:14:21targeting communication facilities in Hudaida and Cameron Island.
00:14:25Within hours Yemen's leadership declared that any escalation would
00:14:29be met with escalation, warning that the rules of engagement had
00:14:32fundamentally changed. The response was swift. More than
00:14:3650 missiles and projectiles were reportedly launched including
00:14:40five precision ballistic missiles targeting the Aramko industrial
00:14:44complex in Jizan, facility capable of refining
00:14:48around 4000 barrels of oil per day.
00:14:52Large fires were reported, electricity was disrupted across
00:14:56wide parts of Jizan and Khamis Musheit and commercial
00:14:59aircrafts heading toward Jedda were forced to circle while
00:15:03the situation unfolded, a Saudi tanker in the Red Sea was also
00:15:07reportedly struck. Whether Riyard intended it or not, Saudi
00:15:11Arabia has now stepped into a confrontation that serves neither its own
00:15:15economic interests nor regional stability. The irony
00:15:19is difficult to ignore. Washington claims it wants to protect
00:15:22global trade while repeatedly. spending the very conflicts that
00:15:26threaten it, negotiations with Iran were underway, Romani
00:15:30mediation was making progress and yet military escalation once again
00:15:34took center stage.
00:15:36It is a familiar pattern. diplomacy on camera, military pressure
00:15:39behind the curtain. If this trajectory continues, the consequences
00:15:43could extend far beyond Satur Arabia. The Babelmandem straight is one
00:15:47the largest, most critical maritime choke points. Any prolonged
00:15:51disruption there would affect trade moving between Asia, Europe
00:15:55and the Mediterranean through the Swiss canal, combined with continuing
00:15:59uncertainty around the straight of her moves due to the US's aggression against
00:16:02Iran, global supply chains, energy markets, shipping costs
00:16:06and... premiums could all come under even
00:16:10greater pressure. this is why every new strike carries
00:16:13consequences well beyond the battlefield. what began as
00:16:17a war centered on Iran now risks enngulfing the red sea,
00:16:21threatening another strategic waterway and drawing even more regional
00:16:25actors into the war, and if diplomacy continues to be
00:16:29sacrificed for military escalation, the world's economy may soon discover
00:16:33that wars in west Asia never stay local for very
00:16:36long.
00:16:41To discuss this issue with us from Beirot is Mr. Ali Zahry Yemany
00:16:45broadcaster and
00:16:49Saudi Arabia has now found itself directly engaged
00:16:52a renewed confrontation and aggression against Yemen after targeting
00:16:56strategic infrastructure in Hudaida and Kamaran Island
00:17:00earlier uh last week triggering a significant military response
00:17:04from Yemen. From your perspective why is the real
00:17:23Saudi Arabia has fundamentally miscalculated and misread the
00:17:26situation. This is not a mistake that began today,
00:17:30rather, it dates back to 2022, when the Riad failed to honor
00:17:34its commitments regarding the deescalation process. Everyone knows that
00:17:38Yemen and Saudi Arabia reached understandings through Omani mediation,
00:17:42resulting in what became known as the road map. Under that
00:17:45framework, there were clear commitments, particularly on the
00:17:49humanitarian file. However, Saudi Arabia
00:17:53merely sold illusions, making promises that were repeatedly delayed and
00:17:57never fulfilled. Nothing tangible materialized on the ground.
00:18:01As result, public frustration in Yemen steadily grew during those
00:18:05years of what became an unbearable stalemate. Although military
00:18:08escalation had subsided, Saudi Arabia simultaneously
00:18:12tightened the blockade while intensifying its media campaign against the
00:18:16authorities in Sanha, hoping to provoke popular unrest
00:18:20against them. Instead, that public anger continued to
00:18:23build until it was ultimately directed toward reclaiming Yemen's
00:18:27rights. What deeply alarmed Saudi Arabia was the coordinated effort
00:18:31between Sanad and Tehran to break the blockade imposed on Sanad
00:18:34International Airport. Riyad responded. by deploying its air
00:18:38force to target the airport's runways, believing it could preserve one of its
00:18:42last remaining pressure cards by maintaining economic leverage over Yemen.
00:18:46Saudi Arabia also assumed that Yemen, and Sanah in
00:18:49particular, was unwilling or incapable of pursuing major
00:18:53escalation, but by bombing sana airport, Riad did far
00:18:57more than damage an airport. It effectively killed the deescalation
00:19:01phase that had restrained Sanha while simultaneously shielding Saudi
00:19:04Arabia, Aramco, and other critical.
00:19:27Yemen has now shifted from the previous period of deescalation to new
00:19:31reality, a blockade will be met with a blocade. By
00:19:35attacking, Saudi Arabia. itself moved the conflict from economic
00:19:39pressure to open escalation. The result has been a significant
00:19:43response. Hudaida has come under dozens of missile and drone
00:19:46strikes, while, according to available reports, fires
00:19:50continue to burn in Arampko facilities in Jizan. With footage the
00:19:54blaze still circulating at the time of this interview. The Yemani
00:19:58armed forces had already warned that any party expanding the war against Yemen would
00:20:02face major retaliation. Sana is now attempting to secure
00:20:05these demands after concluding political avenues have been
00:20:08exhausted, four years, the speaker argues was more than
00:20:12enough time, the yemini people had grown weiry of waiting,
00:20:16and the prolonged deadlock ultimately left them convinced that only direct action could
00:20:20restore what they believe are their
00:20:22rights. well, mr.
00:20:26ali, yemen has demonstrated the ability to threaten
00:20:30military and the maritime assets, despite years of
00:20:33US saudi pressure against it, as you were saying, and a significant balance
00:20:37in conventional capabilities between both sides, but if this
00:20:41escalation continues, what options remain available for
00:20:45Yemen militarily and strategically, and how could further targeting
00:20:49of poor?
00:21:20implement their decisions regarding the imposition of a ban on Saudi
00:21:23shipping, not through the fleets deployed at sea, but through
00:21:26drones, unmann boats, ballistic missiles and naval
00:21:30missiles. Sanat possesses the components and capabilities that
00:21:34enable it implement its will on the ground. There was already a live
00:21:38example of this when it imposed the blockade on the ports of occupied Palestine
00:21:42that are under the enemy's control. It also confronted the Americans and the
00:21:46British. It was a battle of Wales at sea
00:21:49and in the end. "the Yemeny will prevailed because it was
00:21:52announced that the port of Ilat had been shut down by
00:21:55100%. Therefore, we cannot assess Yemen's
00:21:59military capabilities simply by comparing them to those the
00:22:03enemy. Rather, the question is whether San has the ability
00:22:07implement the option
00:22:08it is moving toward, and it does. Saudi Arabia
00:22:11knows this, and so do the United States and those with
00:22:15it. If they continue this escalation, then the problem will become very
00:22:18serious, because at the same..." time we are witnessing what is happening in the straight of
00:22:22hormos, which is directly related to the flow
00:22:25of global energy. At the same time, there is Babel
00:22:29mandab, which is directly linked to the flow of global
00:22:32trade. This coincidence will cause the entire world to suffer from
00:22:36petroleum derivatives crisis, a gas crisis as
00:22:39well, and disruptions to supply chains related to food and
00:22:43medicine. The situation and
00:22:47serves Tehran. Saudi Arabia would have been. better off accepting the
00:22:51legitimate rights the Yemani people rather than pursuing these
00:22:54options, which will lead to no result.
00:22:58stubborness and obstinancy will only result in further
00:23:01militarization the Red Sea, further escalation and
00:23:05greater international
00:23:06pressure.b,
00:23:15which is one the world's most important maritime choke
00:23:19points connecting. global shipping routs between Asia, Europe and the
00:23:22Mediterranean. If tensions escalate to the point of disrupting
00:23:26or even closing this passage, what would be the regional and
00:23:30global consequences and could this create
00:23:33economic shock that potentially becomes greater
00:23:37than the American disruption already caused by
00:23:41instability around the straight of hormos because the
00:23:43aggression?
00:23:50Yes, in fact, the Babel Mandab straight and the straight of
00:23:53Hormus are important waterways, not only for Yemen or the
00:23:57countries directly concerned, but for the entire world because their connection to
00:24:01the global economy and energy supplies. The world, which
00:24:05today watches Trump disregard and trample international law, turning
00:24:09the international system into something resembling a jungle, should act not
00:24:13for the sake of Iran or for the sake of Yemen, but for the sake of its own interests and
00:24:16economic benefits. It should also act in defensive and international
00:24:20law, which is what preserves some degree of balance in international
00:24:23relations and regulates relations between states even during times
00:24:27of war. today, the world will suffer even more if it
00:24:31continues to remain silent while watching this bullying and the refusal to
00:24:35acknowledge rights, neither Iran's rights nor Yemen's rights.
00:24:39What are Iran's demands and what are Yemen's demands? Yemen
00:24:42is asking for the most basic right, reopening San international
00:24:46airport for nearly 40 million human beings even. during
00:24:50wartime, airports are not closed in this manner, look at Russia and
00:24:54Ukraine, the war is ongoing, yet airports remain open and
00:24:57passengers continue to travel. Why should there not also be prisoner
00:25:01exchanges? Yemen is not asking Saudi Arabia to pay the salaries of its
00:25:05employees. It is asking only
00:25:07to be allowed access to its own oil and gas resources so that those revenues
00:25:11can be used to pay salaries and rebuild the country's infrastructure. There are no
00:25:15illegitimate Yemeny demands being made of Saudi Arabia. We are not demanding
00:25:18Saudi territory. "We are not demanding Saudi money. We are not even
00:25:22interfering in Saudi Arabia's internal affairs. Therefore, the
00:25:26international community, which today aligns itself with Saudi Arabia through
00:25:30statements condemning Yemen's position, should instead stand with itself
00:25:34and not with the oppressor. These statements of solidarity with Saudi Arabia
00:25:38do not concern us because they have already proven to be useless. They did not protect
00:25:42the oil facilities. Yemeni missiles reached Genbar and Jizan, and
00:25:45Yemani drones reached them as well. Even American protection has proven to be a..."
00:26:02solution, not by siding with Yemen or Saudi Arabia, but by siding
00:26:06with its own interests. The international community should ask what can be
00:26:10done within the framework of its humanitarian and international
00:26:13responsibilities. Are Yemen's conditions acceptable and legitimate under
00:26:17international law? If they are, then they should acknowledge that
00:26:20right. Otherwise, pursuing further military options
00:26:24escalation will only produce more escalation. Sana has the
00:26:28capability, the experience and the competence to
00:26:31respond. draws its strength from the grievance of its people,
00:26:35people determined to reclaim their rights because they have grown tired of years of
00:26:39procrastination and delay, the diplomatic track has not translated
00:26:42into reality, not even in the implementation of a single
00:26:46provision.
00:26:53definitely, and it seems a very important couple of days to
00:26:57come concerning this aggression against yemen and
00:27:01where Saudi Arabia. is ready to go with it, taking risks
00:27:05that it might end up a catastrophe economically on itself
00:27:09and its allies as well, i want to thank you very much, mr ali, political
00:27:13analyst for joining us to discuss this very important matter, ladies and
00:27:17gents, thank you very much for watching, please do follow us on telegram and on x to get the
00:27:21latest updates about the region of west Asia right here
00:28:02This week on expose we examine the stories shaping public debate
00:28:06from political profiteering allegations covered by MS
00:28:10now economic anxieties highlighted by PBS News
00:28:14and the framing of war coverage by CBS News and
00:28:17Al-Jazera English. We explore how users on X are
00:28:21challenging official claims while American late-night satire
00:28:25turns political statements into moments of scrutiny. A journey
00:28:28through media numbers and public reaction reveals the forces. shaping
00:28:32perception in turbulent times, the cost of conflict on
00:28:36expose.
00:28:46Iran had warned, if war begins, this time it will not remain within Iran's
00:28:50borders. Washington did not take Tiran's warning seriously, but followed was a
00:28:54widening battlefield, Israel and US bases in Saudi
00:28:57Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait
00:29:01came under attack. "the war began in the skies, but soon reached the veins the
00:29:05economy, then Tairan issued its next warning, if Iran's
00:29:08infrastructure is targeted, your infrastructure will be targeted as well,
00:29:12and the world quickly understood that even silence and neutrality in this war could carry
00:29:16heavy price, but Iran's next warning is even more
00:29:19consequential, the war could become extra
00:29:23regional. No official evidence says that all recent
00:29:26incidents are connected, but this is where the central question begins, when
00:29:30Iran speaks of an extra."
00:29:32original war does it only mean an expansion of
00:29:35geography or does it refer to a chain of energy routes,
00:29:38supports, military bases, markets and the global economy.
00:29:42the United States once ignored Iran's warning about the regionalization of war and
00:29:46it
00:29:46is still dealing with
00:29:47the costs. now the question is, if Washington ignores the
00:29:51warning of an extra regional war this time as well, will it be able to pay the
00:29:55price?
00:30:24Your headlines on Press TV, the yemeny arm forces say they have carried
00:30:28out strikes on Saudi Back troops in the Mari province of Yemen.
00:30:35Yemen's foreign ministry says no coalition can deny the Yemeni people their
00:30:39legitimate rights following the Saudi Turkish Pakistani defense
00:30:42pact signed in
00:30:43Mecca. An
00:30:47Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson has hit back at Trump's claim of taking
00:30:51Iran's oil saying before you claim the spoils a war you have to
00:30:55win the war.
