0:01 Hello. It is Monday, the 5th of Amordad 1405, July 27, 2026. Over the past three nights, after 13 days in which America carried out military operations in Iran every night, the operations have been halted by America, and Iran has also announced that if America does not attack, they will not respond either. So for now it has been three nights, that is, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, that the operations have stopped, and for the moment there is calm. On Saturday five ships, and on Sunday eight ships, passed through the Strait of Hormuz, and the price of oil also

1:02 came down today to 92 dollars per barrel of North Sea oil. Everyone expected the war to continue, given the harsh and blunt way he had been talking. But Mr. Trump, in the numerous interviews he gives, perhaps several every day in different places, whether on the plane, during a visit, in his office or elsewhere, has said that the reason for this change is that the mediators asked for the military operations to stop. He has also said that we are seriously engaged in negotiations with Iran. That claim has, of course, been denied by the Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mr. Baghaei, who said that we are not negotiating with America right now. In

2:01 my opinion, Mr. Baghaei is not telling the truth. What he means is that they are not negotiating directly, but messages are going back and forth, being sent and received. It is said that Qatar and Pakistan, the two main mediators, have put forward proposals. The Omanis, a delegation of whom went to Iran on Friday, have also joined in regarding the Strait of Hormuz, and Egypt also supports this ceasefire and peace. However, the New York Times wrote that the reason America stopped is that its stockpiles of Patriot missiles have run out. This is something that the press inside Iran, and especially

3:05 the hardline, pro-war factions in Iran, have been playing up a great deal over the past day or two. They have embellished it, and in short, what they are saying is that America has been defeated and has backed down, and they see this as proof that the strategy of war and fighting is succeeding. Meanwhile in Washington, when you ask military experts about this New York Times report, they say it is not true and that America's missile arsenal has not run out. Nor is it the case that America has only a limited number of missiles and that America's factories have stopped and will not produce any more

3:59 missiles. Besides, America's missile stockpiles are far richer than that, and whatever it uses up, it can receive the same amount or even more from the manufacturers. On the other hand, Mr. Netanyahu is heading to America. Today, two hours late, at 1 p.m. instead of 11 a.m., he departed from Israel's military airport for America, and he will arrive in America today. He is scheduled to meet Mr. Trump tomorrow. This is Mr. Netanyahu's eighth meeting with Mr. Trump in the year and a bit since Mr. Trump became President

5:00 of America for the second time. Mr. Zarif, Iran's former foreign minister, has said in an article in Al Jazeera that the whole purpose of Mr. Netanyahu's trip is to drag America back into war, to intensify the war, and in short, to wreck the understanding with America. Journalists have also asked Mr. Trump a version of this question, about whether he has differences of opinion with Mr. Netanyahu, and he said no, we have a high level of understanding, though of course we also have disagreements over minor issues. However, perhaps the main reason for Mr. Netanyahu's trip has been reported as his attendance at the memorial for

6:01 Mr. Lindsey Graham, the senator from South Carolina, who died some time ago. A film of him has also been released. Someone who had been making a documentary about his life has this private footage, in which, when the war against Iran begins and America enters the war, Mr. Lindsey Graham can be seen expressing great joy, and in a way he also talks about his own efforts toward this warmongering. Mr. Netanyahu had referred to him as his own friend and a friend of the State of Israel. In any case, this war and shaky peace, which still continues,

7:06 is truly keeping the country of Iran in a state of great uncertainty. That is, no one is sure that there will be peace and a period of calm, so that they would know what on earth must be done for the country, nor is the war continuing in such a way that you could at least say, well, we are entering a long-term wartime atmosphere and period. In any case, this state of uncertainty, on top of the country's major economic problems and the damage from these past 13 days, which the Americans themselves estimate at perhaps close to one trillion dollars in total to Iran's factories, facilities and resources, plus

8:08 the chronic diseases of Iran's economy, such as inflation, recession, unemployment, corruption and so on and so forth, has created a situation that truly makes life harder for the people every day than the day before. No one invests, no one lays one brick on top of another; neither the government itself can come up with any fundamental plan, nor the private sector, nor the public sector. In short, it is a situation whose continuation is like deadly poison being poured down the throat of our country and our people. Meanwhile, a strange incident also happened yesterday: Ukraine attacked an Iranian ship named Anna, which

9:07 had reached Russian waters and was at the entrance to the Volga, apparently waiting for the storm to calm down so it could enter the Volga. Ukraine attacked it with a drone, and one crew member was killed in this attack on the ship. Mr. Zelensky, justifying this attack on an Iranian ship, said that it was carrying weapons for Russia. The Iranian ambassador in Russia denied this and said that it is not true at all, that it was a commercial ship and had no cargo of weapons. Mr. Zelensky has also stated explicitly that, in any case, Iran, North Korea and Russia are at war with Ukraine. In a way, you could say

10:09 he has justified this attack. Mr. Zelensky made these remarks while visiting Andy Burnham, the new Prime Minister of Britain. On the Iranian side, the Foreign Ministry spokesman has said that this will not, in short, go unanswered. This question really does arise, because once again some of the warmongers in Iran are beating this drum, saying that given the distance from, say, Tabriz to Kyiv, which is a thousand-and-I-don't-know-how-many kilometers in a straight line, we should therefore retaliate with missiles on Kyiv and, in short,

11:03 presumably go to war with Ukraine as well. This is not just about Ukraine, because Ukraine is in fact a European matter. If Iran were to do something like this, then Iran would in fact be locking horns with the European Union and Britain too, because the issue of Ukraine is a European issue, and the Europeans stand behind Ukraine. But where is the chief of staff of Mr. Asghar Hejazi? Asghar Mir-Hejazi, known as Asghar Hejazi, was the head of the so-called Intelligence Protection Office of the Commander-in-Chief. He was the third man in the Leader's Office during the era of

12:02 Khamenei and Mojtaba. He was number three, and all the intelligence of the country's 17 intelligence organizations comes there and is consolidated under the supervision of this Mr. Asghar Hejazi and the office that does this work, as well as intelligence protection and guarding against infiltration in these intelligence agencies. It is one of the most important posts and positions in the country under the Islamic Republic system. Mr. Mir-Hejazi had a chief of staff who naturally must be regarded as a very important person, especially since in fact the pulse of all the country's intelligence passed through his hands and under his eyes. In any case, in that attack Israel carried out on those facilities beneath the Leader's Office, in which a number of people were killed,

13:00 Mr. Asghar Hejazi himself was not killed, since he was seen alive, but it was said that his chief of staff was killed and was among the martyrs of that incident. However, after a long time has passed, no trace of him has been found, not even a fingertip. So a serious question mark has now been placed over this person, that he was probably an Israeli infiltrator. If this is true, the issue of Israeli infiltration into the most sensitive places in the country becomes a very serious matter, the very thing Mr. Araghchi said in his interview, and that

13:58 to its very core, in short, the Islamic Republic system... the Israelis, if this matter is true, it is not just that they bought people and had a hand in things, in the hope of victory... Iranian and Iranian
