00:02:06American media Outlet CBS News where he stress that Iran remains fully committed
00:02:10to the mou and
00:02:11a ready implement if he also set any path toward resolving the
00:02:14of conflict has to be based on dialogue patience and tolerance
00:02:18referring to Iran's attacks or attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities the
00:02:22Iranian president said no country has legal right to attack nuclear sites
00:02:26under inspection
00:02:27of the IAEA and within the NPT framework. posicion called on
00:02:31the US to stop supporting the Israeli regime which is carrying out
00:02:34genocide in Gaza and urged Washington act on the basis of
00:02:38justice and
00:02:42of fairness.
00:02:43of Political
00:02:44of analyst Stanislav was earlier with us with this take on the situation
00:02:48of of the Strater Harmose and Iran's demand for its
00:02:49reopening. There can be
00:02:53no agreement at this stage
00:02:54of the conflict. This isn't just a mere conflict. It is so
00:02:58big. needs a different end
00:03:01game, an end game that changes and reshapes
00:03:05firstly the whole region and then showing the world
00:03:09the
00:03:10of of pattern for
00:03:11the new global security architecture. the US cannot admit
00:03:15defeat even when it is being defeated and it is being
00:03:19of defeated right now, and Iran can't and shouldn't accept
00:03:23something that doesn't legitimize its
00:03:27new role and the new power. dynamic in the
00:03:30region, i think new
00:03:34in phase of military escalation is its way, some would say
00:03:38and are saying it would come after the midterms in the
00:03:43of US, a but the precise date or week or month they are
00:03:47irrelevant, what is important that
00:03:50is
00:03:51it is happening and it is happening even now
00:03:55because it includes both the preparation time and the
00:03:59spilling
00:03:59of the conflict around the region that we witness already for the
00:04:03of last month, even during these last two days
00:04:07september 25th and
00:04:11of 26th, five more US military transport airplanes landed
00:04:14in Sofia from the UK and then continue
00:04:18to the middle east and this is just a part of it, a small
00:04:22part, this is just the same logistical
00:04:26of arm that is still active and is one
00:04:28of the elements eran must break in order to achieve the
00:04:31long-term win and then to sit on the table to negotiate.
00:04:35this would be, in my opinion, the final
00:04:39phase,
00:04:40in and this time the result would be final final change of
00:04:43balance on multiple local fronts in favor of
00:04:47Iran. number
00:04:51of world leaders have addressed you and general assembly in the past few days and reps
00:04:55from number
00:04:56of other countries will do the same today and in the days to come and some speeches have drawn pr.
00:05:00while others have triggered condemnation. US president speech for example
00:05:04contain multiple false and misleading claims and the Israel prime minister's
00:05:07of address has also been slammed as
00:05:09of filled with deceptions and lies. I discussed this so we
00:05:12of earlier. by professor of international law, Richard
00:05:14Falk,
00:05:19UN system is built on the
00:05:22premise of all
00:05:25countries, all states, big or small,
00:05:29powerful or weak, being subject to the UN
00:05:33charter and to international
00:05:36law, but at the same time the
00:05:39design the UN.
00:05:43one that favored the winners of world war
00:05:46ii, therefore the most powerful
00:05:50countries were given the right of veto,
00:05:53which means that they
00:05:56have legally
00:05:59grounded right to free
00:06:03themselves from the obligation to
00:06:07uphold international law,
00:06:10and the US and European
00:06:13allies have frequently used that
00:06:16veto not only for their own
00:06:20policies, but to protect their
00:06:23friends and allies,
00:06:26principally Israel, when it's
00:06:29under justifiable
00:06:32criticism for its failure to
00:06:36abide by international law,
00:06:39so we have a...
00:06:42situation where

00:07:18Islamic Republic, weaken its regional power and resistance front and
00:07:22undermine a strategic position. That noted adversaries failed to
00:07:26achieve any their
00:07:27objectives.

00:09:48July 2006, Hezball captured two Israeli
00:09:52soldiers a cross-border operation. Israel responded with
00:09:56a month long war that devastated large parts of Lebanon and
00:10:00displays hundreds of thousands of people. Throughout the

00:10:24the loyal people in the... country almost the day after
00:10:27Israel's genocidal war on Gaza began in October
00:10:312023, Hazbolah carried out the retaliatory
00:10:34strike. The Lebanese Resistance movement realized
00:10:38what happened in Gaza was not a passing event, but rather a
00:10:42political and military earthquake in West Asia. The
00:10:45decision to join the support front was made to preserve the principles

00:11:07palms, and in the name of every person who has taken on the responsibility of
00:11:11supporting gaza, we tell Netanyahu and gallant, the Lebanese
00:11:15front will not stop until the war on Gaza ends. A year
00:11:19later, he fulfilled that wow with his blood, he was

00:11:36a visual testament to the loyalty he commanded and the political
00:11:40and symbolic weight he had accumulated over
00:11:43decades. today Lebanon's political sin remains
00:11:46turbulent considering vicious plots hatched by the United States
00:11:50and Israel to disarm Hezbollah. the Lebanese resistance
00:11:54however is vigilant and won't allow enemies implement their
00:11:58plans. according to Hazbullah secretary general Sheikh Naim

00:16:23reports from Aleppo were especially notable. Nasir lost
00:16:27his life while he always did his best to convey the voice the
00:16:31Syrian people to the world a time when the Arab country
00:16:35was grappling with conflicts today. Before his death

00:16:53to the killing the press TV reporter. Tehran said at

00:26:11The question now circulating through business and political circles around the world
00:26:15is this: does Iran have the right to charge ships for passing through the
00:26:19straight of Hormus? The answer is not simple: Hormus is natural
00:26:23international straight, but does being natural mean being
00:26:27cost-free, the modern world still runs on maritime
00:26:30transport, more than 80% of... global trade moves by sea
00:26:34oil, gas, food, metals,
00:26:37medicine, cars, industrial components, and
00:26:41consumer goods, all travel between continents by ship, in other
00:26:45words, the backbone of global trade is still shipping, and these vast
00:26:49oceans depend a handful of narrow, highly sensitive passages,
00:26:53the suez canal, the Panama Canal,
00:26:56bab, mandeb, the straight of Malaca,
00:27:00Gibraltar, and the... of hormos, the
00:27:03energy artery the Persian Gulf. Some these roots are
00:27:07artificial, they were once land, then transformed into waterways
00:27:11through massive human investment. Sues and Panama are clear
00:27:15examples, giant engineering projects built and operated
00:27:19through excavation, dredging, traffic management, constant
00:27:22maintenance and complex infrastructure. That is why passage
00:27:26through them is not free. But the story of Suez is not
00:27:30only economic, it is deep. political. For years,
00:27:34Britain and France benefited from the canal's revenues. In
00:27:371956, Gamal Abdel Nasir nationalized the
00:27:41Sues Canal and declared that waterway located on Egyptian
00:27:45soil had to be under Egyptian sovereignty. Despite the military
00:27:49attack launched by Israel, Britain and France to reverse that
00:27:52decision, and despite intense international pressure, control
00:27:56and revenue the canal ultimately remained with Egypt, a
00:28:00canal whose annual revenue in peak years. has passed the $10
00:28:03billion dollar mark, but not all choke points are artificial, some are
00:28:07natural, such as the Bosperos and the Dardinells in Turkey,
00:28:11the straight of Malaca, Gibraltar, and the
00:28:15straight of Hormus. In natural straights, states
00:28:19generally cannot charge vessels simply for the active passage, in the
00:28:23same way road tool is collected, but that does not mean these roots
00:28:27carry no costs. In many such passages, fees are
00:28:31collected for specific. services, navigational
00:28:34assistance, lighthouse services, search and
00:28:37rescue, pilotage, tug
00:28:40support, port management, traffic
00:28:43control and environmental protection.
00:28:47Now return to Hormus. The Straight of Hormus is one the
00:28:50busiest and most sensitive maritime roots on earth. Every
00:28:54day, around 200 vessels may pass through this narrow
00:28:57corridor, oil tankers, LNG carriers,
00:29:01chemical tankers. container ships and even naval
00:29:05vessels. In such an environment, a collision between two
00:29:09ships is not a simple accident. Lives can be put at
00:29:13risk, chipping lanes can be disrupted, millions of dollars
00:29:16in damage can occur, oil, fuel or chemicals can
00:29:20spill into the waters the Persian Gulf. This is not two
00:29:24cars scraping bumpers a street, it can become an
00:29:28environmental and economic crisis, but unlike
00:29:31cars, mas vessels need significant time,
00:29:34distance and coordination to change course or come to a full
00:29:38stop. That is why passage
00:29:42through Hormus requires constant management. Just like
00:29:45crowded urban road, the straight of Hormus needs designated
00:29:49inbound and outbound lanes, traffic separation
00:29:53zones, maritime warnings, coastal
00:29:56monitoring, radio coordination and
00:29:59crisis management mechanisms. Iran
00:30:03and Oman, as the coastal states
00:30:05the straight, have carried major share
00:30:08of this responsibility, while the global economy has
00:30:12benefited from
00:30:12this route, much the burden has remained with the region: air and
00:30:16water pollution, the risk of fuel spills, possible
00:30:20collisions, search and rescue
00:30:22operations, wider security and
00:30:26environmental consequences. In this context, Iran's
00:30:30question becomes easier to understand. Is it reasonable for the
00:30:34world to benefit from vital straight without contributing to the cost of
00:30:38keeping it safe? And more importantly, is it fair for countries that
00:30:41depend on the security of this route to impose political pressure,
00:30:45economic sanctions and even war on Iran, while still
00:30:49expecting essential services in this corridor to continue free of
00:30:53charge. From Iran's perspective, the ear of providing
00:30:57such services without compensation is over. This does not mean
00:31:01closing maritime roots. or using
