0:01 Hello. It is Monday, 12 Mordad 1405, August 3, 2026. The cycle of threats and the danger of war, then negotiations again, and talk that the danger has receded for now, has repeated itself once more. After Mr. Netanyahu came to Washington, news circles reported that he had once again convinced Mr. Trump to attack Iran and strike Iran's infrastructure. News agency reports also indicated that the U.S. military had moved extensive equipment into the region,

0:56 and that this deployment was in preparation for a large-scale air attack on Iran's infrastructure. At the same time, Mr. Khalid bin Salman, the Saudi defense minister and brother of Mr. Mohammed bin Salman, came to Washington and immediately met with Mr. JD Vance. It is said that Mr. Trump himself also saw him for 11 minutes; he stepped out of a meeting to see him. Saudi Arabia's request was that no such attack take place and that the crisis in the region not become even more complicated. But despite these meetings, tensions kept rising over the past five or six days. American

1:54 deployments grew larger, and as far as I understand, on Sunday severe attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure were supposed to take place. But there was pressure, first and foremost from Saudi Arabia, with Mr. Mohammed bin Salman personally speaking with Mr. Trump by phone, and besides Saudi Arabia, various countries such as Pakistan, the UAE, Oman, Qatar, and even Turkey and Egypt also pressured the White House not to do such a thing. Besides the destruction of Iran, there is the retaliation Iran has said it would inflict on the water and energy infrastructure of the Arab countries of the Persian

2:55 Gulf, which would drag them into the crisis as well, in short a conflict whose ultimate main winner would be Israel. In any case, this pressure apparently worked, and Mr. Trump announced it yesterday. On his way back from his residence in Florida to the White House, when he was asked on the plane what happened and why he had stopped the attack order, he said plainly that our friendly countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman, asked us not to attack for now. Of course, as usual, Mr. Trump also says things that are later denied. For example, he said that today or tomorrow,

3:51 meaning today, Monday, negotiations would resume and the Strait of Hormuz would be fully opened. Yet earlier Mr. Trump had said that the Strait of Hormuz was completely open and that American forces were succeeding in preventing the so-called closure of the strait. This was denied by the spokesman of Iran's Foreign Ministry, Mr. Baghaei, who said that we are negotiating with Oman over the Strait of Hormuz but have no negotiations whatsoever with America. It is said that Oman's plan is to divide the Strait of Hormuz between Iran and Oman, with, for example, a northern passage for ships entering the Persian Gulf and a southern one, in Omani waters, for ships

4:49 that want to exit the Strait of Hormuz, and that a sum would be collected from ships on a voluntary basis for safeguarding security, the environment and so on. It is said that the Arab countries also agree with this plan, and the news coming in is that it is possible that this plan, whose details I don't know, will reach a conclusion, and in effect the Strait of Hormuz problem will be removed from the peace negotiations. Because this new round of war over the past 13 days, in which this state of tension and danger of war still exists,

5:46 stemmed from this very Strait of Hormuz issue and the two sides' conflicting interpretations of Article 5 of the memorandum of understanding. In any case, for now it seems the war has stopped again, and if the Strait of Hormuz issue, which Mr. Trump said must be resolved by tomorrow, is taken off the table, one can hope that the peace process will return to the path of negotiation and rationality. Meanwhile, Pakistan's foreign minister has asked Mr. Araghchi, who has gone to Iraq for Arbaeen, to come to

6:39 Pakistan at the first opportunity, and diplomatic efforts in the region, in the form of phone calls, are very active. But the Pentagon, America's Department of War, has signed contracts with the companies Lockheed Martin and Northrop, two of America's big arms manufacturers, to increase production of Patriot missiles up to threefold, as well as THAAD missiles, missiles with advanced technologies in missile defense. It has been said for some time that America's stockpiles have in fact fallen below a certain level, as have those of America's allies, the Arab countries, which used them up in the recent war.

7:35 Tehran Municipality, in a report published quoting one of its managers, has also given statistics that are very shocking. According to this report, in Tehran 5,500 residential units were damaged in the 40-day war, 2,000 units were completely destroyed, Tehran was targeted by air, missile and drone attacks a total of 65 times, and there are now more than 10 million tons of war rubble in Tehran that naturally has to be removed for reconstruction. This in itself means one

8:28 million loads of a 10-ton dump truck, and depending on how many trips a dump truck can make per day, it could take several months or even several years for this rubble to be removed and transported so that construction can only then begin. Rumors of Mr. Pezeshkian's resignation have again been raised in various circles and on social media. The public relations office of Mr. Pezeshkian's office has denied it, but Mr. Bagher Kharrazi, brother of Sadegh Kharrazi and in fact a relative of Mr. Khamenei's son-in-law, the brother of Mr. Khamenei's son-in-law, has stated that Mojtaba has said that if Pezeshkian resigns one more time, I will accept

9:29 his resignation, and he presented this as a sign of Mojtaba's firmness and determination. Meanwhile, two more executions on charges of espionage have been carried out by Iran's judiciary. It was announced today that Omid Behzad and Pouya Sefat were executed on charges of spying for Israel, while apart from confessions, which are usually obtained by force, torture and beatings, neither the trial process is known, nor is the verdict clear, nor the stages of the trial and the contents of the case file. In any case, these executions continue. Mostafa Tajzadeh, the prominent political prisoner, has published a letter from prison

10:26 in which he states that executions deepen the rift between the government and the nation and carry the danger of society re-entering the cycle of mutual violence, and he has asked everyone, of every political orientation, to explicitly declare their opposition to executions and to think of a way to stop them. But this situation of neither war nor peace and the country's limbo, while, of course, the country keeps shutting down left and right, now for Arbaeen, and this Wednesday many parts of the country are also closed; tomorrow is Arbaeen, then Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and so on, all of this is putting Iran's economy

11:21 in a critical position. According to Dr. Nili, Iran's chronic inflation entered the stage of severe inflation some time ago, and the next station is hyperinflation, which in effect brings about the collapse of the currency. Perhaps the most logical and best thing would be for a campaign for peace, calm and life, "No to war" and a call for life, to take shape from the people. Because for claiming any of the nation's rights, rights such as freedom, freedom of expression, social freedoms, the right to life, the abolition of executions, any right of the nation, and ultimately the right of free choice

12:19 and setting aside the Guardianship of the Jurist, which is contrary to the free rights of a nation, all of these only take on meaning when, as the first step, this state of neither war nor peace, and the danger of war, violence, destruction and so on, is lifted from the people. Only then will other actions and struggles to claim the people's rights take on meaning. Hoping for the victory of Iran and Iranians.
