00:00:10Iranian media reports that the Iran Oman Hormus
00:00:14framework is likely to impose fines for violations
00:00:18in of the proposed transit
00:00:19restrictions. Hello and welcome to
00:00:23TRT World. We're live from London. I'm Maria Ramos
00:00:26of also ahead on this program.
00:00:32In Yemen, at least 35 government troops are reported to have been killed
00:00:36in hoothy attacks on military
00:00:38camps
00:00:43and Israeli forces launch wave of air strikes on southern Lebanon
00:00:46despite a fresh round of peace talks in
00:00:50of Rome, and Ukraine hits two oil
00:00:54refineries in multiple strikes inside Russia.
00:00:57Zelensky says the aim is limiting. Moscow's oil revenues
00:01:01to finance the
00:01:02war.
00:01:18Well, Iran says that deal with oman to reopen the
00:01:21of straight of hormos is now in its final stages with local
00:01:25media reporting that parliament is reviewing a draft bill.
00:01:29At MP has told the Phas news agency that the
00:01:33proposed legislation would bar US and Israeli
00:01:37ships from passing through the key waterway.
00:01:41After confirming an agreement with neighboring Oman, Iranian
00:01:44officials have said that, despite the deal, the resumption
00:01:48of unrestricted shipping remains contingent on the
00:01:52US, lifting its naval blockade of Iranian
00:01:56ports. Let's bring in TRT was.
00:02:00Hatamy who's in the Iranian capital Forest, good to see you,
00:02:04how close are we to - deal on hormores and what are we
00:02:07learning?
00:02:14Well, Maria, it was about 24 hours ago, or maybe a bit less,
00:02:18that Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said that Iran and Oman are
00:02:22on the verge of an agreement about the coordinates of
00:02:26a shipping route in the straight of still we are waiting for.
00:02:30that promised joint announcement by Iran and
00:02:34Oman about an agreement a shipping route in
00:02:38the straight of hormosben, this hasn't happened
00:02:41after about 24 hours, but the
00:02:45of details that we are getting is that there would be a an
00:02:49outbound lane and inbound lane, the inbound lane is located
00:02:53in the north
00:02:54of the straight of armus closer to raining territorial waters,
00:02:58that root is going to be totally controlled by Iran, the
00:03:02southern route, which is close to Omani
00:03:06territorial waters, that would be the outbound route, and
00:03:09part of it, or half of it would be controlled by Iran, so
00:03:13this deal would basically give
00:03:16of Iran control and authority
00:03:18of over this strategic waterway, and these two lanes will be
00:03:22temporary, according to Iran's deputy foreign minister, they will be
00:03:26valid for about two to four months and in the meantime,
00:03:30'demining operations will take place in the straight of formus, and
00:03:33after that two or four month period, then a new
00:03:37route, in the next phase
00:03:40of the agreement, new route will be announced that would be in the
00:03:43middle, in the
00:03:45of center
00:03:45of the straight of armus, so-called median lane,
00:03:49and that route would be permanent, we are still
00:03:53of of waiting for more details, we understand that Tehran and Mascat still
00:03:57continue their discussions, their talks and the'.
00:04:00consultations um and we're waiting to see
00:04:03whether that much awaited deal is going to take
00:04:07place anytime soon. absolutely, all eyes on that
00:04:10announcement. reza, thank you so much, reza hatami live there from
00:04:14Tehran. well, for his part, US
00:04:18vice president J. Vans has called Iranian officials
00:04:21extraordinarily difficult, and that it will take time
00:04:25to reach a consensus. certainly understand the American
00:04:29people and maybe looking at this and they say, well, it seems like we're making progress and
00:04:33then it seems like we're not. well, the reality Laura is that number one, the Iranians are
00:04:37a extraordinarily difficult people. number two, they have a
00:04:40fractured system, so there are people within their system who want
00:04:44of the war to be over, there are also people within their system who are crazy radicals who
00:04:48want the war to continue. well, north
00:04:52america correspondent john brain joins us live from Washington
00:04:55of DC. John, what do JDV Vance's comments tell us about the deal
00:04:58in uh that we're waiting to? about and also the interactions
00:05:02between Iran and the US right
00:05:04now,
00:05:09well I think ultimately it tells us that the... went into
00:05:13this conflict without a proper understanding the Iranian
00:05:17mentality or the Iranian setta and they seem to have
00:05:21learned little from the subsequent five months, don't they?
00:05:24the fact that the Iranians weren't necessarily speaking with
00:05:28one voice when they're negotiated with the U.S. uh, that's been a
00:05:32major frustration for the administration, they think they've
00:05:35got a deal, and then it turns out that the more hardline elements
00:05:39in Tehran have vetoed it. in terms of...
00:05:42this arrangement or apparent arrangement between Iran
00:05:46and Oman, the US is still waiting to be
00:05:49presented with the specific details of it, uh, they
00:05:53remain ad, the US remains adoment that Iran
00:05:57cannot come out of this war with control over the
00:06:00straight of homoz, which from what Rezza has been
00:06:03saying is what the iran, Iran thinks that it
00:06:07will have uh influence and control over, so so I think
00:06:11it's still a long way to... go before the Americans will
00:06:14be prepared to lift their blockade and be accept
00:06:18this agreement. Having said all that, there is a pretty much a
00:06:21desperation within the Trump administration that this
00:06:25conflict is brought to an end as swiftly as possible, so it
00:06:29may be uh that the administration is prepared to overlook some
00:06:33elements of any deal uh if they feel those elements can
00:06:37be uh brushed under the carpet so to
00:06:40speak. For now, thank you, John Braint live from
00:06:44Washington DC. Well, Yemen's
00:06:48hoofis have killed at least 35 government troops in missile and drone
00:06:51attacks on military camps in Hadraunt and Marib.
00:06:55The Houthies say that this attack is in response to an alleged military
00:06:59builder backed by neighboring Saudi Arabia.
00:07:03Now fighting between the Hufis and the Saudi Araline government has
00:07:07escalated over the past month. This is the deadliest
00:07:10fighting in Yemen since.
00:07:21this latest operation
00:07:24that have that has been revealed by the his military
00:07:27spokesperson yah says that they have targeted this these
00:07:31positions in in raik and also
00:07:35in in areas in hadramote and marip he says that they have targeted
00:07:39these areas as there are some
00:07:42military built up there, the says that they have waged
00:07:46the preemptive strikes, and they have he has also
00:07:50warned the yemenis there not to join the military
00:07:53camps in these areas, while the senior
00:07:57official the Yemen government says that the
00:08:01the group is under mounting pressure, that's that's
00:08:04why and they have carried out these
00:08:07operations as he mentioned or
00:08:11described at his at his account at
00:08:15x website, he also mentioned that the
00:08:19there is all the only way is to end what he described as the
00:08:23militaus co against the international recognized government, while
00:08:26the the military spokes person the hutis, he
00:08:30has made it clear that they will continue their uh what they have
00:08:33already uh declared the uh the operations the sage for
00:08:37sage they want to
00:08:39to wais more pressure on Saudi Arabia we
00:08:41are talking about nearly eight ships that have been uh targeted by
00:08:44the uh the houties known as the ansar allah they have
00:08:48also uh been able to uh to turn uh
00:08:52back nearly 29 uh vessels so
00:08:56we are talking about since the beginning the their blockade they have been
00:08:59able to attack vessels near the Gulf of
00:09:03Aiden and also uh off the coast the Saudi
00:09:07uh Saudi seaport of
00:09:09Yambo all the speaks.
00:09:12person for Pakistan's foreign ministry has said that the Prime Minister Sheikh
00:09:16Bash Sharif will begin an official visit to Saudi Arabia on Thursday
00:09:20accompanied by a high level delegation.
00:09:24Though taking place against the backdrop of height and tensions in the
00:09:27Gulf, the visit will carry immense
00:09:31significance beyond the immediate crisis and
00:09:35short term considerations. It will further strengthen bilateral
00:09:39relations, deepen strategic cooperation.
00:09:44Well three days of peace talks between the US, Israel and Lebanon
00:09:47in Rome have just come to closed, discussions reportedly
00:09:51focused on pilot zones in southern Lebanon, but the talks were
00:09:55overshadowed by continued Israeli violence in Lebanon south,
00:09:58which threatened to derail negotiations entirely. Prian
00:10:02Canani reports from
00:10:03Beirot. On the eve
00:10:07the last day of talks in Rome, this was the scene in southern Lebanon, the town
00:10:11of Burja Shim. was hit by massive Israeli strikes, injuring over
00:10:15dozen Lebaneses. Thursday morning, news stands were peppered
00:10:19with both headlines: talks in Rome meant to bring peace, and the
00:10:23strikes on southern Lebanon bringing anything.
00:10:34have no meaning, the negotiations that are happening are waste of
00:10:37time, we are facing a zionist terrorist
00:10:41enemy, what the Israelis are doing in the south is a policy of
00:10:44destruction, others said strikes or no
00:10:48strikes, they don't believe anything can come the
00:10:51talks,
00:10:55never committed to any agreement, every agreement that the Israelis do, they
00:10:58don't honor. the three-day summit constituted the seventh round of Israeli
00:11:02lebanese talks in the last few months, direct talks that are ordinarily
00:11:06unheard of. well progress has been made in the form of security
00:11:10framework that called for occupying Israeli troops to slowly be replaced by the
00:11:14Lebanese army, the progress these pilot zones on the ground has
00:11:18been slow, and some argue Lebanon is giving more than it's
00:11:21getting. unfortunately, until now... gain
00:11:25any uh good point regarding what's regarding the
00:11:28regarding talks in in Rome or with the Israelies, all what we could
00:11:32achieve was the
00:11:34seasfire, it's not a full sease
00:11:38fire, the Israelies are bombing every day in the south and
00:11:41are invading more more regions, they are not retreating
00:11:45from any the occupied regions and many agree the
00:11:49uptaken strikes during the talks was no coincidence, the
00:11:53elephant in the room is the issue. of Hezballah's weapons, both the Lebanese
00:11:57and Israeli governments have said that they want the group disarmed, but
00:12:01Hezballah
00:12:02is not party to these talks and the Lebanese government has yet to put
00:12:06forth any sort of substantitive plan, in part because Lebanese are
00:12:09divided on the issue, but this standoff leads many to
00:12:13believe that the talks in Rome will do little to affect their reality on
00:12:17the ground. Prijon, TRT World in
00:12:20Beirot. Well Israely
00:12:24forces. are storming the calandia refugee camp in the occupied west bank
00:12:28now for second day with 16 palestinians now
00:12:32injured. 60 people have so far been arrested. Israel says its forces
00:12:36are targeting in their words terrorist elements in the camp which is
00:12:40home to more than 16,000 palestinian refugees.
00:12:43local media reported the Israeli army distributing leaflet
00:12:47saying a large scale raid was being carried out.
00:12:51Ozenna Tahan is outside the camp in occupied East
00:12:55Jerusalem and has the latest for
00:12:58us, it's been
00:13:0140, more than 41 hours since Israel began its large
00:13:05scale military assault on the qalandia refugee
00:13:09camp, and now we're a bit further from the entrance to the camp than we were
00:13:13previously reporting earlier in the day, because israely forces
00:13:17prevented journalists from covering, they removed them from the
00:13:20entire area and blockaded it off and they fired directly at
00:13:24us. stun grenades uh, the the assault is still
00:13:28ongoing with hundreds of soldiers as well as special forces,
00:13:32police and paramilitary uh border
00:13:34police uh operating inside the
00:13:38camp, arresting Palestinians, mass raiding homes
00:13:41and the destroying contents these homes, vandalizing them,
00:13:45as we often see in the occupied West Bank a daily basis,
00:13:49now there are upwards of 16,000 people inside this
00:13:53camp that are under siege, for the second day uh
00:13:57there is no one allowed in or out with the with the um
00:14:00entrances into the camp closed off and there is a curfew, no
00:14:04one is allowed in the streets even to get anything eat or um
00:14:08or so. the Israeli military has also prevented and
00:14:12obstructed the work of ambulances trying to
00:14:15evacuate those 16 people who were injured, the majority them with
00:14:19severe physical assault including multiple men in their
00:14:22early to late 50s. so you're talking about elderly people
00:14:26being beaten up and what's happening is that the Israeli military breaks
00:14:30down people's home front doors - barges in
00:14:34or storms the house with 10 to 15 soldiers, they carry out
00:14:38physical assault against the residents, they carry out mass
00:14:41interrogations, over at least 60 people
00:14:45have been interrogated so far and arrested according to the
00:14:48palestinian prisoner society
00:14:51and it's very important to note. two things,
00:14:55one, this is a main road, it is very vital
00:14:59artery, uh, as you
00:15:01can see, there should be cars bumper to bumper, but the movement is very
00:15:04weak, uh, this road ties between the north and
00:15:08the center the occupied west bank with Jerusalem and the south, so
00:15:12the fact that they are blocking the movement here means that they are
00:15:16affecting tens of thousands of people who move through here every day,
00:15:20for work, for health care, for other, their own businesses. addition
00:15:24to that, the Israel Military has been demolishing Palestinian
00:15:27businesses, they've been carrying
00:15:30out demolitions of Palestinian car washes, clothes,
00:15:34stores and other businesses here.
00:15:37in around the Colandia refugee camp and
00:15:41near the Collandia military checkpoint. And the last note is very
00:15:45important to make, there are no, I mean the Israeli military is talking about this
00:15:49being a military operation, but there are no armed elements
00:15:53inside these camps that are organized any way that would put up a
00:15:56front or to resist uh Israel's military.
