Discussion on Iran-US Relations and Conflicts

Who are the people you're talking about? They're the ones who, when

the president is in Iraq, when the speaker of Parliament is in Mashhad,

when the body is in the air,

in the middle of an agreement under which they could freely

sell oil, sell oil like a normal country and

receive the money, they fire a missile, and it still isn't clear who fired this

missile, why they fired it, or why the agreement fell apart, so that

they could preserve their own oil-selling network.

حفظ کنن.

Yes. This is an excerpt from what was, of course, a lengthy discussion. The subject, too, involves

numerous detailed issues that were

discussed in this conversation. But this part of the conversation

is, in fact, a restatement of the question of

the end of

what had been called the documents agreement, the memorandum

between Iran and the United States. Who was it?

Who disrupted this understanding? Who fired, and what economic benefit

was involved? In other words, the account he is giving in this part of

his remarks is that someone was probably profiting from

his remarks is that someone was probably profiting from

this situation

They were making material gains, dollar profits, and for this very reason

To preserve those profits, they came and

ruined the agreement, an agreement that may have been working with difficulty, perhaps through

Mr. Soltani's efforts or others', and they came and ruined it all.

همش زدن.

Let me tell you, look, he wasn't in this clip.

I wish there were a clip

a second one too, so the guys could make the effort, if they can,

to play it.

Yeah, if they can get the second part across too, yeah.

I'll explain. He talks about trusts and corruption and such,

and says that the trust network, for every

large tanker, I think, that goes out, for example, because

it has to evade sanctions, makes a profit

of four million dollars, and if there

were no sanctions and you could sell oil

without sanctions, uh— you wouldn't have to pay any other costs, as they themselves say.

He says its cost is five hundred to one thousand dollars.

If you're connected to SWIFT.

If you're connected to SWIFT and all that. Look, Mr.

Soltani has long been working on combating corruption.

The work they do is truly specialized.

I don't understand it either. L-like so many

other things I don't understand, I really don't know anything about this,

I have no opinion.

But this game of intimidation started

uh—a while ago, and some people are uh—

accusing us of violating

the Islamic Republic of Iran's agreement. They claim that this

was an agreement that was working,

and, uh—it was we who violated it. And he too,

where does he come down?— Look, this is a very bitter thing to say

about our armed forces. The Houthis

don't have anti-ship cruise missiles. And the

IRGC's public relations or the Navy aren't under their control.

They put out a statement and, with anti-ship cruise missiles,

they hit the ships.

So clearly, someone is stopping his violations.

Look, what he's saying is very

It's bitter and very upsetting because the military forces

of ours, in both the 12-day war and the 40-day war, as well as in

the Battle of Hormuz, from top to bottom,

made sacrifices, paid a price, lost martyrs,

suffered injuries, and now you come and put them next to the trustee.

Beside the trustee—

The forces that we—

The trustee you're describing, I mean, really, because he names names and

I don't know these people, and I have no opinion about them.

You come and say Mr. X is corrupt,

and that the military forces are taking orders

from him. Excuse me, I apologize to all the military

forces.

You're effectively saying this person paid that— paid the military forces to derail the agreement,

after all.

And again, I apologize.

You're effectively saying they're mercenaries, paid to fire missiles.

Th-this is the definition you draw from this narrative.

That's it.

He says, “We didn't understand who hit the ships.” Sir, l— let me explain why you didn't understand. It's really

very strange.

Who did it? Whoever has anti-ship cruise missiles.

Who has it? That's the question. If that's really the question, I'd say the

Navy

of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Navy of the Islamic Republic

of Iran Army. Who's in charge of them? They have two commanders.

Who tells them when to strike, who to strike, and where to strike?

Khatam Headquarters. It's obvious.

This one struck. How can you say we didn't know who struck it?

Then
