00:01In an interview with Your News, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations insisted that Tehran
00:07does not want to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, contradicting a statement by the newly chosen
00:12Ayatollah who threatened the opposite.
00:17Iran has not any intention to block the Strait of Hormuz.
00:26Whatever situation the Strait of Hormuz is suffering from is because of the war which
00:33has been imposed on the region.
00:35Iran, of course, is protecting the Strait of Hormuz.
00:40Iran keeps believing that the Strait of Hormuz is the Strait of Peace.
00:47It should be and it can be used by everybody as far as there is no any threat, as far
00:54as
00:55there is no any war on that region.
00:58The only limitation or restraint that we will impose is on the ships belonging to those countries
01:09who have any kind of involvement in the war against Iran.
01:13Iran.
01:14Of course, the situation in Hormuz affects the global economy.
01:19We are not happy with that.
01:21It will affect the economy of Iran, too.
01:24We do not reject it.
01:26But for how long Iran can stand it now?
01:29Iran is ready to defend itself as far as it is needed.
01:35As I told you, we have been prepared for this situation, Iran, while we were negotiating our
01:46military forces' assessment was that the threat is imminent.
01:50The United States was suffering from a big miscalculation.
01:57What they had the intention to do, all of that was failed because they believed that they
02:04are able to defeat Iran in a few days, but the response they received was very strong and
02:11it gave them a signal that Iran is able to defend itself.
02:16Is there a contact now between Iran and the U.S. now, two weeks into the war?
02:20The basic or the necessary prerequisite for any diplomatic movement is that United States
02:31should come to the conclusion that war is not a choice.
02:36Who is in charge at the moment in Iran?
02:38In Iran, the political system is working very efficiently, although we have lost our supreme
02:48leader, but a new leader has been elected by the Council of Experts.
02:54The election of the new leader shows that there would be a continuity in Iran and there is
03:07no vacuum in our country now.
03:10So how do we operate in Iraq?
03:11What do we do today's work?
03:11The explanation of the historic system was our week.
03:11And we'll just get toенс of the impact from Iran, besides our last awhile?
03:12If you tour later...
