0:01 Hello. Today is Monday, 26 Aban 1404, November 17, 2025. Reuters reported that on Saturday, 24 Aban, that is, the day before yesterday, Mr. Netanyahu and Mr. Putin spoke by phone. Both governments said the subject of the conversation was regional and Middle Eastern issues, but news agencies and political circles believe the main subject was Iran. As for what was said about Iran, political circles in Washington and Europe have again put forward various speculations, and

0:59 the speculation is that the core of the conversation was Mr. Khamenei's fate. The question of what Russia would do if Israel decided to remove Khamenei, whether it would consent to this, and whether the Russians would clean up the chaos in Iran, and so on, is a subject we have discussed before. We said that the Russians have concluded that the Velayat-e Faqih [Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist] cannot continue. Therefore, the plan to support Mojtaba or anyone else is off the table. So the question is how, in the turmoil that would arise, and

1:52 which Russian agents would probably intensify, they would, after a period of insecurity, bring a Russian pawn to power, of course no longer with the slogans of the Islamic Republic and religious government but with nationalist slogans, on the model of Putin himself in Russia. These days, though, talk of an Israeli attack has also heated up in Iranian circles. Of course, some say the attack will happen this very Friday or this very Saturday, but no one can set a time for it, and it is not clear when or with what aim Israel might do this. Or even if Russia itself decided

2:50 to remove Khamenei, it is capable of doing so, especially with the advanced methods the Russians have, for example radioactive poisoning and the like, and they have easy access to Khamenei for removing him. But during this time some people have also asked me: well, if such a thing is happening, what can we do? Should we wait until Khamenei is killed by Israel or Russia, for example, and then do something? Or after that we will take to the streets and do various things? The point is that what will upset all these plans, especially Russia's plan, is the people of Iran, and only

3:48 the people of Iran. It is the people of Iran who now stand on three main grounds, under which, one can say, all of the people's troubles can be summarized. One heading covers poverty, inflation, high prices, and the people's empty tablecloths and empty pots. Another heading is corruption, discrimination, theft, cronyism, the aghazadeh [children of the elite], the inequalities that have arisen, and the thieves, swindlers, and Al Capones who are sucking the people's blood; the case of Ayandeh Bank, or such-and-such financial fund, or this one or that one now being raised, are only examples of it. As the people say,

4:50 "If there were one less embezzlement, our problem would be solved." In effect, it means confronting these thieves who form the structure of Khamenei's regime, with him at their head, and who suck the nation's blood. The third ground is getting out of this state of crisis and limbo: war or peace, sanctions, the deteriorating state of the air and water, and distressing news every day. In short, the ground on which people need life, need hope, need peace, joy, brightness, security, and, in short, a bright future. So on these three main grounds, which all social surveys also show

5:48 are where the people's main concerns lie, the people's civil resistance takes shape: all kinds of plans, campaigns, gatherings, and tactics that, if carried out by the people, expanded, and made universal, will foil all the sinister plans against Iran, the land of Iran, and its people. We will talk more about this in the coming days and in future programs, because the sharp and attentive viewers of these videos have raised numerous questions, at least with me.

6:48 But this afternoon, just a few hours ago US time, the American plan on Gaza passed in the UN Security Council. Russia and China, which have veto power and whose negative vote would have vetoed the resolution, abstained, and the remaining members, that is, the 13 other members, including Britain, France, and America, the three other permanent members, plus 8 other... plus 10 other members, all voted in favor, and with 13 votes in favor the plan was approved. In effect, the second clause of Mr. Trump's 20-point plan on Gaza was thus set in motion, and it is in this resolution as well: the formation of an independent Palestinian police force

7:47 in Gaza that would no longer be under Hamas's control and would be trained. Likewise, the presence of the International Stabilization Force, called the ISF, in Gaza. In this way the ground is also prepared for the two-state solution, which has been on the table since the time of eight US presidents. Of course, Israel opposes it, but in any case the possibility of implementing it is now high. On the other hand, Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince, who is in effect the prime minister and considered the number one man in Saudi Arabia, arrived in Washington today, and tomorrow he will meet Mr. Trump at the White House.

8:45 Mr. Trump announced today that he has agreed to sell F-35s, America's ultra-advanced stealth aircraft. Of course, this must be done in a way that does not contradict the law passed in Congress several years ago, which says that for any weapon sold to the region, Israel must have the upper hand; on condition that it does not contradict that law. In addition, Saudi Arabia wants a joint defense pact with America under which an attack on Saudi Arabia would be considered an attack on America, similar to what America signed with Qatar, which will most likely also be agreed to. In return, there would be Saudi investment in artificial intelligence and in America, which, if all of it materializes, would be 600 billion dollars

9:42 of investment. And of course it is said that Mr. Trump's family also has a stake in these matters. In return, Saudi Arabia would also join the Abraham Accords, although it is said that the Saudis and some other Arab leaders who are supposed to join the Abraham Accords have said that, given the events in Gaza, they will wait until next June's elections; if Mr. Netanyahu doesn't win and is no longer prime minister, they have no objection, because the mood of the people of Arab countries and public opinion are not suited to signing an agreement with Mr. Netanyahu. This is, of course, a matter with many political twists and turns. But in Tehran, Design Week, which was being held at several

10:46 locations, including the University of Tehran, and was supposed to continue until today, Monday, 26 Aban, was shut down at the University of Tehran following protests by Basijis, because in videos that came out of this cultural event, which was also well received by young people, the girls' hijab was not the hijab the regime likes; they were without the regime's imposed hijab. Just for that they said it became vulgar, it became corruption, and so it was shut down at the University of Tehran. Ali Mohammad Naini, the IRGC spokesman, stated that Hajizadeh, General Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, who was killed during the 12-day

11:42 war, was killed at the operations headquarters of True Promise 1 and 2 along with several other commanders. This was something raised on the very first night: that the Israelis killed IRGC commanders and others in their homes and in their beds, but in the case of Hajizadeh and other commanders, who it was clear would immediately gather at the so-called missile command headquarters for the operation, Israel waited, they gathered there, and then it killed them all there. This statement by the IRGC spokesman is in effect the first time this has been officially confirmed by Iranian officials. In addition, this same spokesman declared that the leadership of His Eminence the Supreme Leader can be compared only with the leadership of the Pure Imams and the Prophet. In effect, the effort

12:40 to prop up the broken central pole of the Islamic Republic's tent, and the fact that after the defeat in the 12-day war he was also in a hole for a long time, has gone beyond all limits, and this IRGC spokesman, like some Friday prayer leaders, has resorted to comparisons with the Prophet and the Imams and so on. They are just short of bringing God into it as well. Hoping for the victory of Iran and Iranians.
