00:01:53of Iran amounts to
00:01:54in nothing more than Washington's uh surrender to Iran's negotiating

00:02:24of journalist day. occasion falls in the anniversary
00:02:27of the 1998 terrorist attack on Iran's con in
00:02:30Afghanistan Sharif were eight diplomats and
00:02:34journalists lost their lives. Ministry called assault in

00:03:18a stance on straight of hormos saying the waterway will be reopened provided
00:03:21us accepts Iran's
00:03:25in conditions.
00:03:30has its own specific mechanism and has nothing to do with the
00:03:33negotiations between Iran and Oman. Opening the straight of
00:03:37hormos depends on conditions under which the Islamic Republic will decide to
00:03:41reopen it, and it depends on the extent
00:03:44to which
00:03:44the US accepts surrounds conditions.
00:03:47The straight of hormas is not merely economic waterway for
00:03:50Iran.
00:03:51in It's in a component of geographical
00:03:53me and strategic power. The enemy has no choice but to accept
00:03:57arounds conditions to reopen
00:03:58the straight of hormas and must stop interfering
00:04:01in the negotiations between Iran, Oman and other countries,
00:04:05which are at their conclusion. Whenever the enemy accept surrounds
00:04:09of conditions, the strike will definitely be
00:04:11reopened.

00:04:30troops as a
00:04:31main source of insecurity have no place in the region, he said the resilience of Iran's

00:09:56strike, alliances fracture and pressure mounts in

00:10:18Iran changed the rules the battlefield? These and more
00:10:22on this edition of Iran today.
00:12:34There are journalists that look past the headlines to capture the quiet
00:12:37resilience found in the world's most volatile regions, from the
00:12:41frontlines of Ukraine to the post war landscapes of Iran, they risk
00:12:45everything to bear witness to our shared humanity. My
00:12:49guest today is one such storyteller. Welcome to SOSP, I am
00:12:53Bahman Roy, your host.
00:13:02Laurin Streller is an award winning Austrian photo journalist

00:13:32all.
00:13:42Mr. Lauren Streller, it's a pleasure to have you on sob. Thank you so
00:13:46much for having me. It's the pleasure is all ours. You've said, I
00:13:50saw an interview um of you in which you said
00:13:53powerful. images,
00:13:56in your parents photo books, those
00:13:58were especially from the Vietnam war, um, went beyond words and
00:14:02opened new worlds to you. do you remember a specific image
00:14:06that changed you? it's not about specific
00:14:09images that inspired me to do what i'm doing, it
00:14:13was more like these
00:14:17worlds that open to as a teenager, as a
00:14:20child, i couldn't describe what is happening, i
00:14:23just it. the feeling in me that
00:14:27I have to do the same, I want to go out there,
00:14:30explore, document, and I want to become a photo
00:14:34journalist, and you speak about photography's
00:14:37ability to connect us through time and space with
00:14:41shared emotions, um, when did you first truly feel that
00:14:45connection yourself? I think for
00:14:48as a European, um, Austrian
00:14:52person that of course learned... lot about the
00:14:56second world war, um, it was always very important to
00:15:00see the images the war, because they
00:15:04shape in the end the perspective that newer
00:15:07generations will have on certain events in history,
00:15:11so I realized the importance of
00:15:15photography when it comes to moments in
00:15:17history, and moments in history, you
00:15:21just mentioned, is there a moment in particular? that kind
00:15:25of moved you, it's not
00:15:29mostly um like certain
00:15:33moments, it's all together, i feel like the emotions that you can
00:15:36see and feel. feel from photographs in the faces of people that
00:15:40have
00:15:41to go through hardship or certain events create
00:15:44like a bigger image and a bigger feeling that you
00:15:48can gain even if time passes how
00:15:52people must have felt during that time and um
00:15:56i remember once somebody told
00:15:58me that the lines on the faces the people are kind of reminders the kind
00:16:02of journey they've been on and they've taken in their lives
00:16:05um are you also working? on
00:16:07documentaries? um, I'm doing
00:16:11mostly documentary work with my photos, so
00:16:15these these documentary essays, they
00:16:18can contain up to 50 photographs
00:16:21and some them work
00:16:24has a single image, because the single images are that
00:16:28strong or some photos, they work together well withother
00:16:31photographs, and this is what I
00:16:35tried to create here, for example, i tried to
00:16:39create one big photo essay that really um
00:16:43shows the current situation the country
00:16:46right and you often talk about very important figures and
00:16:50photography as um your inspiring figures in
00:16:54this field um the likes of um don
00:16:58mccallin we have robert kappa, henry cartier
00:17:02breson, dorothy lang and the turnley brothers,
00:17:06what specifically? about the philosophy the book, not just
00:17:10technicalities, um, are so inspiring to you? if you can give
00:17:14us examples. i feel it's the mix
00:17:16between what they have shown through the
00:17:20work and also how they did
00:17:23it, because it is one thing to go somewhere and
00:17:27take photos of a certain event, but to have the skills
00:17:31and do it a beautiful and respectful
00:17:34way, um, you have to... have some
00:17:38talent and some
00:17:42um perspectives that not everyone has and that's what i respect
00:17:45about the big legends or the big names in
00:17:49photography and which one these names would
00:17:52you uh consider like the main your main inspiring
00:17:56figure in your journey? i think don mccalin
00:17:59is is i think one the biggest inspirations i
00:18:03have why is that why is that? It
00:18:07has multiple um reasons, first of all he he documented
00:18:11a world that wasn't changed during that time in the in the
00:18:1550s, late 50s, 60s, he did a lot of work in
00:18:19Europe, um, when europe was tragically
00:18:22changing, then he also did a lot of work
00:18:25in in areas of crisis of conflict, he was
00:18:29in the Vietnam war, lot of different wars, but as I'm a big
00:18:33Beatles fan, he also took photos the Beatles, which I
00:18:37think... is nice contrast, yes, absolutely,
00:18:40and what took you from that world, the
00:18:44European style of living style of photography to
00:18:48um, conflict photography and crisis
00:18:51photography? i think it's just um
00:18:55a personal feeling that is interesting for me to
00:18:58be part of history that is in the making right
00:19:02now in the moment when i'm there, it's a feeling you can't
00:19:06describe um... "knowing
00:19:09that the place that you are in
00:19:12right now is all over the news and it will be all over the
00:19:16school books in the next generations um
00:19:20and of course the feeling and my belief that through my
00:19:24work might have a positive impact on the future and
00:19:27future generations so in best
00:19:31case these bad things don't happen again
00:19:34and but i was looking a Of course I'm going
00:19:38to talk about um your experience, you you're now in Iran,
00:19:41while Iran is in the middle of a conflict with the US
00:19:45and Israel, you've been to some the impact sites in southern Iran, I'm going to talk
00:19:49about that later, but something that I could feel from the photography on your
00:19:53website and also um on your instagram page uh
00:19:57was that people are the main characters of your
00:20:00photography and your photos, um what do you
00:20:04find um so inspiring when it comes to the...
00:20:08faces of people, i think
00:20:12faces and mostly the eyes of a
00:20:15person can tell more
00:20:18than anything else you can take photos
00:20:22of. i think um,
00:20:25seeing a certain face, looking into a
00:20:29child's eyes, taking a photo a
00:20:33honest, raw moment, where the door to
00:20:37the... soul is open, um, you can tell
00:20:41more than any written essay or any film
00:20:44documentary can can tell, and my goal is
00:20:47always evoke. anything,
00:20:51any emotions or questions or answers
00:20:54within the person that looks at my photos, so
00:20:58if I have the success that the
00:21:02viewer might be, might feel
00:21:06discomfort or might feel um
00:21:09confusion or whatever, just some emotions that are
00:21:13evoked into the
00:21:15in the in the viewers eyes, then
00:21:19everything.
00:21:20is is a chief that I want to do with my photos and I think the easiest
00:21:24way to do this is showing face that
00:21:28has um lived through lot of um
00:21:32experiences and um I can only imagine Lauren
00:21:35that um that brief moment that the window to the heart and
00:21:39to the soul the person or that character in front of you is
00:21:43open um also I can only
00:21:46imagine once again places immense amounts. amount
00:21:50of responsibility on your shoulders as a photographer, isn't that the
00:21:54case? it's definitely the case, but um,
00:21:58always compare like creating
00:22:00a a portrait,
00:22:04it's an immense moment of trust between
00:22:08two people that don't know each other, sometimes don't even speak the
00:22:12same language, all they share is this very
00:22:15moment, and it can create some really
00:22:19magical... um connections
00:22:22between totally strangers
00:22:24and i think it always like
00:22:28how you approach a person, the body
00:22:31language, respect,
00:22:33calmness, and the other person
00:22:37will feel it and will feel comfortable and will let you
00:22:41into their space and let you photograph
00:22:44their soul in the best way, and have you
00:22:48ever what of course because you've been... also photographing the
00:22:52Ukrainian conflict, um, have you ever felt like um
00:22:55the person in front of your lens is a way in
00:22:59that look in that momentary window to their soul
00:23:03as you beautifully described it are asking for
00:23:07some sort of help like physical help you mean
00:23:11or no just to kind of what i mean is to help
00:23:15them have their voices heard on the global stage
00:23:19i feel "from my
00:23:22experience, people who are in the deepest
00:23:26need or in moments of
00:23:29despair, they are mostly the ones
00:23:33who want to get their photo taking, because they want their
00:23:36story to be told, and they want the world to
00:23:40look and see their atrocities that they have to live
00:23:44through, and I think that's a very,
00:23:47very um important thing." " um to not step back
00:23:51when things get very hard and
00:23:54sad, these are mostly the moments the people who
00:23:58are affected, they want
00:24:00you to take the photo the most, and at the same
00:24:04time um, those moments are could be also very
00:24:07dangerous for a photographer, how do you handle the risk and the
00:24:11dangers that come with this job? mean it takes
00:24:15a lot of preparation beforehand um, if you go into an
00:24:18active war zone. for example, you have to to be
00:24:22prepared, you have to um take all the
00:24:26necessary um
00:24:29um life saving like vest, the the press
00:24:33vest, the helmet, like a turn a kit, first eight kit
00:24:37and so on, but then you also have to prepare a
00:24:41a very professional way, who i working with, who is
00:24:45my driver, who is my translator, do i have a way out if if
00:24:49things get really? interest um so there is lot of
00:24:52aspects that you have to think about to reduce the risks
00:24:56um, but in the end nobody can predict
00:25:00the future and nobody can predict what really is
00:25:03happening, so i had moments where i was
00:25:06perfectly prepared, but in the end everything went
00:25:10a whole different path and we ended up being
00:25:13a very different, tell me about a couple of those
00:25:16moments, um, i found myself
00:25:20um accompanying a drone unit in Ukraine
00:25:24and the plan was to stay with them for two or three hours
00:25:28and they were 100 or 150 away
00:25:31from the from the Russian soldiers, so it was directly at
00:25:35the frontline, and I was brought there
00:25:39to take some photos to document like how they live and so
00:25:43on, and I did my work and while I was in this
00:25:46bunker, it started raining very heavily outside.
00:25:50and there is no obviously no real roads, it's
00:25:54just some some dirt dirt paths and because
00:25:58of this rain the whole
00:26:01path has... become very muddy and it was not possible for
00:26:05any car to pick me up again, so I had to stay in this
00:26:09bunker, and we were all down there and
00:26:13all of sudden we heard an engine howling,
00:26:17and one the soldiers went outside and we saw
00:26:20that a big truck from the
00:26:24Ukrainian who wanted to to bring new ammunition and
00:26:28so to the frontlines, got stuck in the mut directly in front.
00:26:32of our bunker, so everyone went
00:26:35absolutely um crazy because they thought we
00:26:39going to get shot now in every minute direct it,
00:26:43so I was just sitting there and I thought, okay, this is
00:26:47it, because um, the moment I felt that the soldiers around me,
00:26:51they were losing their their cool, I know that
00:26:55this is serious, and basically we were just sitting there waiting
00:26:59for an impact of of artillery or drones. and so
00:27:02on, but thank god um, this driver made it
00:27:06out and nothing happened, but i it happened
00:27:10that i stayed 20 hours in this place before i got
00:27:13evacuated, 150 meters is basically
00:27:17nothing, so um, we're like the russian
00:27:20soldiers, russian forces also aware of your presence
00:27:24and they somehow keep you and people of
00:27:28your profession exempt from fire and firing lines or...
00:27:32or no, you were like using some sort of camouflage?
00:27:36i don't think that um they make difference,
00:27:39because none of both parties make difference,
00:27:43who who is in this area is in danger, and i think they
00:27:47don't have the the time to make difference between
00:27:51soldier or press or journalist, um, i think you have
00:27:55to be aware the dangers that you put yourself in
00:27:59when you're that close to the frontline and...
00:28:03but I always compare it, like lot of people they ask me, why do
00:28:06you even find yourself again a situation like that, and I compare
00:28:10it to be, like imagine you have the
00:28:14flu, you're very sick, and then you think, wow,
00:28:18this is the worst feeling ever, and um, I never
00:28:22want to be that sick again, and then the moment you're
00:28:25you're healthy and healed again, you forgot how bad
00:28:29it was, yeah, right, so um, um, it was
00:28:33basically like that, in that moment I thought, never again, I want to to
00:28:37be that um close to danger, and then one
00:28:41day passed and I found myself on the frontline again, so
00:28:45and and these jobs are they commissioned or
00:28:49do
00:28:49you do that for your own personal interest? no, um, it
00:28:53depends some the the the places that
00:28:56I'm going, other stories, this very dangerous situation, no, that was for a
00:29:00big um, german. media outlet that did a a
00:29:04whole story on the drone um units of of
00:29:08ukraine and some other places um
00:29:11but also of course it's my own interest as well but
00:29:15um i don't think i would i would go to places like this if it's
00:29:19not
00:29:20um um
00:29:25yeah personal job
00:29:25of course yeah yeah so both are important at the same time when
00:29:29it comes to such situations um you
00:29:33describe, I'm I'm going to go back to the interview that I read from you, you
00:29:37describe your dream as following in their footsteps
00:29:40these important figures, um, don mccallin
00:29:43to be particular, to shed some light on
00:29:47untold stories, what does bearing witness - mean
00:29:50to you today after years in conflict zones
00:29:54and photographing in difficult
00:29:57situations, I mean that's always the the
00:30:01noble thought, of all the people that work in this field
00:30:04to um being able
00:30:08to create some sort of change in the future
00:30:12and i think you have to really believe in this otherwise you
00:30:15would not um stand doing this kind of job
00:30:19for very long time um so this is my
00:30:23belief and i think bearing witness
00:30:27means two things like as a person as an
00:30:30individual seeing all of this that is
00:30:34happening, being able to talk about
00:30:37it, to create an image about it and let
00:30:41other people um be part of that story and educate
00:30:45them if possible, um, and on the
00:30:49other hand, of course, as a photographer, to to bear witness with my
00:30:53camera and take photos that
00:30:56will um outlive.
