00:00:10Tehran of of says Iran and Oman have agreed a route through the straight of
00:00:14Hamos provided third parties stay
00:00:24forces resume military strikes on southern Lebanon, even though
00:00:27delegates from both sides are in. Roame talking
00:00:30peace,
00:00:33this says Israeli soldiers detained several Palestinians during raid in the
00:00:37Colindia refugee camp in the occupied West
00:00:39bank and former Liverpool legend
00:00:43Mohammed Salah causes a splash in the football market joining the
00:00:47Turkish side trabs on
00:00:48spore.
00:00:55of Now Iran says it has reached an
00:00:58agreement with Oman. a route for ships transiting through the straight of
00:01:02homus and is in the final stages of preparing a joint
00:01:06announcement, but Tehran has also warned that the agreement
00:01:10does not guarantee safe passage through the straight due to the
00:01:13US naval blockade. officials in Washington had hoped an agreement to open the
00:01:17straight would happen this
00:01:19in week. Iran's deputy foreign minister says details on the deal with
00:01:23Oman are being
00:01:26of finalized.
00:01:38and those by literal site agreements with oman, because it's not
00:01:42just map, these fundamental agreements with Oman have been mostly
00:01:46completed, meaning we have made significant progress in our
00:01:50discussions with Oman, and this progress is on the verge of being
00:01:53finalized.
00:01:57Areza Hatomy has the latest on those talks
00:01:59from the Iranian. capital Iranian officials
00:02:03are very optimistic, they
00:02:06say that the progress has been significant, they're
00:02:10positive about
00:02:11the the negotiations, ongoing negotiations between Iran
00:02:15and Oman, of course Iranians say Iranians say
00:02:19that talks have not concluded as of
00:02:22yet, but
00:02:24of talks are very close to successful
00:02:27conclusion as said by Iran's...
00:02:38Well basically basically Iran and Oman are designating
00:02:41of two roots, inbound lane in the north
00:02:45of the straight of formus, completely in Iranian
00:02:48territorial waters and an outbound route in southern street
00:02:52of formus close to Omani coastal
00:02:55waters, report suggests that Iran is going to have full
00:03:00control over the northern lane and half
00:03:02control over the southern lane. Iran said
00:03:06that the previous roots in the straight of
00:03:10arms did not guarantee its national security and
00:03:14harmed this national security, because Iran argues that the United
00:03:17States has used
00:03:19the straight of armus for military purposes in the
00:03:22past. These two inbound and
00:03:26outbound lanes are
00:03:28of temporary, they will be valid for. two to four months and then after
00:03:32that a permanent median lane will
00:03:35be designated and announced by Iran and Oman, so we are waiting
00:03:39for the talks to be finalized and for Iran and
00:03:43Oman to issue a joint statement about the future
00:03:47administration
00:03:48of the straight of. President Trump says
00:03:52talks with Iran are still ongoing despite Tehran earlier
00:03:55denying holding direct negotiations with the
00:03:58US. "I'd rather make
00:04:01deal because I don't want to kill people, I do not want to
00:04:05kill people, but at some point we're going to, we
00:04:08had, we were, we were set for the biggest
00:04:11attack of any attack, and we've hit them very hard
00:04:15for the last few months, but we were, we were all set for the
00:04:19biggest attack since World War II, and they called me
00:04:22and they said, please don't do it, let's talk, and then they don't, they said, we never
00:04:26said that, you know what, the fake news
00:04:29of knows they..." did say that, but we are talking, let's see what
00:04:32happens. - Craig Boswell is life
00:04:36for us now in Washington,
00:04:38so Craig, what is the Trump administration right now saying about
00:04:42the status
00:04:46of of these negotiations with Iran and how close they are claiming deal actually
00:04:48is?
00:04:53Well, you play that clip there from Donald Trump
00:04:56in a campaign stop in Las Vegas, so just a passing reference. from the US
00:05:00president tonight cuz he's trying to get back on the economy, but for
00:05:04the bigger picture on this on Iran, the US president has
00:05:08in the last 24 hours been more than optimistic about this, in fact it was
00:05:12less. 24 hours ago, we should said we should know within 48
00:05:15hours whether this deal has been struck, saying it is very close uh, we've had
00:05:19uh,
00:05:20you played the clip that uh most the framework deal has been worked
00:05:24out, but the administration falls into kind of two camps here
00:05:28right, hope and concern, there is hope that this this gets
00:05:31resolved and there's hope that this is something that they can move
00:05:35on from and donald trump can claim a win, there is concerned that in
00:05:39this deal there will be fees that will be... by Iran,
00:05:43something that would be seen as a defeat for US president Donald
00:05:46Trump, so that is some that's the other side, they don't want to fall into this, so
00:05:50Donald Trump kind of standing in two places here, saying that there is
00:05:54deal that is imminent, but yet, as you heard in that clip uh,
00:05:58threatening those uh, that this is the last chance for Iran to
00:06:01negotiate, or we're going to hit them hard, so still holding out the threat
00:06:05while hoping this particular part the differences of opinion over the straight
00:06:09of Homus can be worked out soon, back to you, and given the... optimistic tone
00:06:13coming from the White House about reaching an agreement with Iran, is
00:06:17that confidence genuine or does it appear to be masking deeper
00:06:21concerns after previous near
00:06:23misses?
00:06:35does feel like, and I'll caviot this by saying, we've been here
00:06:39before, this does feel like the momentum is moving towards... some
00:06:42type of an agreement on the straight of hormos uh
00:06:46so that it does feel like that, so this could be the administration
00:06:50really on the face expressing optimism. now do they know the details
00:06:54of what's in this framework deal, that remains to be seen, so they
00:06:58could be playing their cards close to the vest saying, well we hope this works
00:07:02out, or they know something and they're just not trying to say too much,
00:07:05so we don't know, time will certainly tell, donald trump has said
00:07:09we'd know within the 48 hours what's in this at
00:07:13perhaps even by Friday, they said earlier this week that we would know by
00:07:17Wednesday, so here we are issuing these time frames uh on the
00:07:21straightform moves, so they must also feel then that something is
00:07:24moving at least in the right
00:07:46to be closing in on this deal to uh reopen the straight of
00:07:49hm, potentially allowing energy exports to resume
00:07:53through one the world's most important shipping lanes, but how significant
00:07:57would uh this agreement be for global energy
00:08:00markets? mean, the markets have been
00:08:03extremely tight ever since the war began, there's been a
00:08:07serious serious shortage of of 10 to 12 mbd that has
00:08:11just disappeared from global. markets for the last four months and
00:08:15even though prices have been kept under control by Chinese release
00:08:19of strategic reserves or by Donald Trump's
00:08:22oil market manipulation through
00:08:25news dropping on Fridays and news dropping on Sundays, the
00:08:29overall physical market has been under tremendous
00:08:33stress and from the physical market to the products market of
00:08:37diesel of of jet fuel, of fertilizers of all the
00:08:41things that have been disrupted. in the homus crisis, so any
00:08:45deal um, even if it's a temporary one will
00:08:48alleviate that stress, and you're a you're
00:08:51a net zero guy, so from that perspective, has all this
00:08:54disruption on the straight of homo strengthen the argument for
00:08:58investing more rapidly away from fossil fuels
00:09:01towards renewable energy and alternative supply
00:09:05chains, mean i would have said that that
00:09:09is a possibility or that is what perhaps government should be
00:09:12showing, but the last four months have seen a very
00:09:16rapid, not just realization, but action by governments
00:09:20towards finding themselves alternative
00:09:22supplies, finding themselves cheap and easy
00:09:26availability of Chinese clean energy goods of EV, solar
00:09:30panels, batteries have surged. In the last four months, we've had
00:09:34about 25 billion dollars of sales every month of solar
00:09:38panels evs and batteries from China to the rest the
00:09:42world. "we've had basically lot of policy being passed by
00:09:45governments as they realize that this is just fundamentally a world
00:09:49in which fossil fuels are going to be insecure because the United
00:09:53States military cannot guarantee their safe and continuous
00:09:57passage out the Persian Gulf and so what we've
00:10:00seen is governments passing policies and consumers
00:10:04taking matters into their own hands and pressing by
00:10:08by on those solar panels and EVs that are just
00:10:11easily" " accessible: so just just taking
00:10:15a more kind of long-term view of this, has this crisis permanently
00:10:19changed at all, how governments are going to think about energy
00:10:22security? yeah, the main thing is: not, it's not just this
00:10:26crisis, right? it's now two fossil fuel shocks in the last four
00:10:29years with the Ukraine war having a similarly disruptive
00:10:33impact that on gas markets and now on oil
00:10:36markets. so what we basically seen is in the face of two
00:10:40uncertain shocks, governments all over reconsidering their
00:10:44energy policy and basically realizing that they need to
00:10:48have source of energy that is not going to be
00:10:51as disrupted by geopolitical events. "and
00:10:55that one 10 years ago would have been, you would have been hard pressed to say
00:10:59that renewables are can satisfy, that's that
00:11:03cheapness and that scale, but that's no longer true, they are now easily
00:11:06accessible in the 2020s after a bunch of governments,
00:11:10European governments, American governments, Chinese governments in particular, have
00:11:14passed enormous supports of, hundreds of billions of dollars worth of policy
00:11:18support to renewables, so now we are a stage where all governments are
00:11:21routinely sort of at every crisis. They have moved
00:11:25away from oil and gas towards much more cheaper and stable
00:11:29and secure renewable supplies often produced at
00:11:40have claimed another attack a Saudi oil tanker, the
00:11:43second
00:11:44a day. The latest vessel was struck in the Gulf of Aden. Early on
00:11:48Wednesday, the group said it fired missiles a tanker in the north the Red Sea
00:11:52la. Last month, the hoothies declared naval blockade. Saudi Arabia in
00:11:56response to what they describe as a Saudi siege on
00:11:59Yemen. Hatim Bazian is a professor of Middle Eastern cultures
00:12:03and languages at UC Berkeley. He says the attacks by the
00:12:07Houties are impacting maritime
00:12:09traffic. Babel mandib uh
00:12:12traffic right now is almost down by
00:12:1450%. And
00:12:18many ships that are opting to go around to
00:12:22the great to the state of. good hope down South
00:12:26Africa that delays the trade
00:12:30and have an impact, it's also the more important is the insurance, so
00:12:34if you gonna navigate through Babel, the insurance
00:12:37level on these merchant chips will be
00:12:41high, so many will up not to go through it because the cost
00:12:44is prohibitive, and I think increasingly there is
00:12:48pressure between the straight of hormones being right now subject to
00:12:52the current developments in there and and then you have b
00:12:56two important chuck points in the global trade
00:12:59system which has been actually the the hub of trade
00:13:03for almost the past 500 plus years, so I think the
00:13:07impact is there. adding to this, I think we need to
00:13:11calculate into this dynamics, the development
00:13:14in Somaliland and the fact that the
00:13:18Israelis with the help of United Arab Emirates are also
00:13:22developing some type of base in there. that will have an
00:13:26impact, whether that will be brought into the conflict
00:13:29immediately, or we're going to see a protracted
00:13:32conflict occurring at the babil mandib
00:13:36and somali land being brought into
00:13:39the navigation and into the ease of trade in that region,
00:13:43so I think there are many, many different players that are having
00:13:46their hands in the babil mandib and in the
00:13:50houthes were attempting to have leverage over their
00:13:54positionality. in the conflict with Saudi Arabia that's been on
00:13:57for seven
00:13:58years.
00:14:04Israel has continued its attacks in southern Lebanon despite ongoing
00:14:08peace talks in Rome. the strikes also hit targets inside
00:14:12designated pilot zone for the withdraw of Israeli troops.
00:14:16Israel says it is in response to ceasefire violations from
00:14:19Heizbollah who are not included in the talks. at least one person was killed
00:14:23in the town of Tebnin. Israel says two of its soldiers were
00:14:27also killed in a landmine explosion.
00:14:31Israel has also issued new displacement order for village in
00:14:34southern Lebanon, which according to the UN, is the first since
00:14:38the latest ceasefire announcement in June.
00:14:42This new order comes as displaced families have been cautiously making their way back
00:14:46to their homes in southern Lebanon in recent weeks, underscoring how
00:14:50fragile the situation remains and the uncertainty that people continue to
00:14:54face. Hostilities continue to affect civilians in southern
00:14:57Lebanon. Demolition operations, shelling and other military activity
00:15:01are damaging homes, agricultural land and civilian
00:15:04infrastructure. Many families are returning to severely damaged
00:15:08homes, limited access to essential services, economic
00:15:12hardship, and the threat posed by unexploded
00:15:15ordinance. Aprianka Navani has more in this
00:15:19from the Lebanese Capital, Beirot. Well, absolutely,
00:15:23this is not what one wants. to see happening on the
00:15:26ground when the diplomats in Rome are trying to
00:15:30further this peace accord that was struck on June the
00:15:3426th, this framework between the U.S.
00:15:37Israel and Lebanon, these were very intense strikes, and it comes
00:15:41off of a week that things were already escalating in
00:15:45southern Lebanon. In fact, one the things that we saw Israel do
00:15:49in southern Lebanon today was issue this so-called
00:15:53evacuation order, which here in Lebanon is called
00:15:56a displacement order, calling on people to...
