05:08a exclusivamente targetar bases militares que son usadas por los Estados Unidos contra nuestro país.
05:17Sin embargo, hay muchas evidencias que muestran que esas bases militares son operacionales contra el Irán.
05:26Y los Estados Unidos está ejecutando diferentes operaciones militares contra el Irán de esas bases.
05:32Ambassador, but there have been attacks by Iran on the airports, on the residential buildings, on the hotels across the
05:42Gulf states.
05:43These are not verified. We have been in contact with those states to explain for them what we have done
05:52and what we haven't done.
05:53And we are ready to share information with them about the operations we have made, about the measures we have
06:05taken and if they have any evidence.
06:08We are ready to verify it. There has been a big number of cases that the United States or Israel
06:17have made some operations in those countries to attribute it to Iran.
06:22We have people on the ground in many of them. We have people on the ground in the United Arab
06:27Emirates, in Qatar and these people, the journalists or correspondents, have been documenting the attacks on non-military sites.
06:35As I told you, there might be some operations made by, not by Iran, maybe by the United States or
06:46Israel in those countries to attribute it to Iran.
06:48What would be the purpose of the U.S. and Israel targeting these civilian sites across the Gulf?
06:55When you are talking about the United States and Israel, you shouldn't look for any reasonable argument or any reasonable
07:08intention.
07:10Their intention is to drag those countries into war.
07:14Ambassador, Iran made drones also targeted to British base in Cyprus while also NATO air defense systems intercepted two Iranian
07:22ballistic missiles heading towards already entering Turkish airspace.
07:28What about these attacks?
07:30Our officials have rejected these news about making any attack in the space of Turkey.
07:41There is a confusion because we've heard the president apologizing to the Gulf countries.
07:49The president's message was misunderstood. The president's message was clear. He said that we will not attack and we have
07:58not attacked any base or location which has not been involved in military operation against Iran.
08:06And he continued to be very clear that if any base or center is used to carry out military operation
08:18against Iran, we will respond accordingly and we will target that location too.
08:25Iran stated that it's been two decades that it's prepared for any possibilities of this war and nowadays the European
08:36cities are also within the range of Tehran's arsenal. Are they possibly in danger as well?
08:45No, Iran, but what Iran is doing is just a self-defense. Iran has no intention to attack anybody or
08:57to attack any country which is not involved in hostility against Iran.
09:05What Iran is doing now at this particular time is to defend itself. And for us, our policy is quite
09:15clear. If we are attacked, we will respond accordingly. If we are attacked from any location, then we will attack
09:23that location as a legitimate target.
09:25Does that also include, Ambassador, does that also include the European countries where the US forces might also be stationed
09:34or they're using them?
09:37Let me make it clear. It has been a policy which has been pronounced and announced by our military forces.
09:45Any facility, any base which is used to attack against Iran would be a legitimate target.
09:55for our military forces.
09:57Ambassador, but within your own country, Iran is attacking its own civilians?
10:02No.
10:06You rejected the claim?
10:08Yes.
10:12But there is proof that the civilians were attacked?
10:18By Iran?
10:19Yes.
10:20The civilians in Iran, the protesters in Iran.
10:27What happened in Iran, if you mean the developments in early January, it was not the peaceful protesters who were
10:38peacefully protesting in Iran.
10:41It was a complicated scenario which was planned and followed by the United States and Israel against the security of
10:50Iran.
10:54Iran's ambassador to the UN in Geneva there, Ali Bairani, in denial there, speaking to our Sasha Vakilina.
11:00But now for the humanitarian angle.
11:02Coming up, we'll be joined by Ogotchi Daniels from the UN's International Organization for Migration, a former chief of staff
11:09at the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees and a UN resident coordinator in Iran.
11:13And she's now based in Geneva from where she joins us now.
11:17Good morning.
11:17Thank you so much for joining us here on the program.
11:20So we're hearing figures like 3.2 million Iranians are on the move to find safety.
11:25Can you confirm this?
11:26And what exactly is the situation looking like from your lens?
11:31Good morning, Maeve.
11:33Thank you for having me.
11:34What we understand from the situation in Iran is that, yes, there has been a significant movement out of Tehran
11:43to northern parts of Iran.
11:46However, these are precautionary movements and people self relocating as a precautionary measure.
11:58And this is also because the government had asked people to move for their own safety out of Tehran.
12:07So that is what we are seeing.
12:09And lots of movement to northern Iran.
12:12And meanwhile, thousands of people are fleeing southern Lebanon.
12:16How critical is the situation there?
12:18Where will internally displaced people go?
12:21And that's the situation we're really worried about.
12:24This is a region that before the conflict had 19 million internally displaced people.
12:31And now we have the conflict on top of that.
12:34And in Lebanon, 820,000 people are now displaced.
12:41We know that about 128,000 of them are in shelters and the shelters have reached capacity.
12:48And while the others have moved and are staying in communities, but there's a lot of pressure.
12:56And we're very worried and concerned about the humanitarian needs right now in Lebanon.
13:02And we've seen France, they've been sending supplies and aid to Lebanon.
13:06Is that enough?
13:09No, the aid is nowhere near enough to meet the needs and the scale.
13:15Well, first of all, what we call for and join the Secretary General is an end to the hostilities so
13:24that people can go back home and continue with their lives, first and foremost.
13:30And second, while thanking the donors who have provided resources, much more is needed.
13:39Lebanon will be launching an appeal today for additional funding.
13:45But of course, as we've been reporting here at the war, there's no end in sight really to this war.
13:50And I guess the question is, are humanitarian agencies able to cope with this new humanitarian crisis?
13:55And how are cutbacks affecting your work as well on the ground?
14:00We are with this have significant capacity in the region, as I mentioned, it's the region that has been dealing
14:08with displacement.
14:09We're closely monitoring what is happening at borders.
14:14But yes, you are right. This is an additional strain on on us as IOM, but also on the international
14:23system because of the funding cuts.
14:27That we went through last year, the significant needs that exist as compared to the resources that we're getting from
14:38our donors.
14:39So we continue to appeal for more resources to our donors, to the private sector, to diaspora, because the needs
14:48are significant.
14:50And meanwhile, I guess a question on the minds of many of our viewers this morning, should the European Union
14:54be preparing for a massive influx of refugees?
14:58We are not seeing that right now. As we've already discussed, most of the displacement is internal within Iran and
15:07within Lebanon.
15:09There has been some movement across borders, but it is minimal. So right now there is no indication that there
15:18is movement, any movement towards Europe.
15:20However, as if hostilities don't send soon, the likelihood of secondary movement is something we will all need to contend
15:32with.
15:32And of course, that's what the EU asylum agency is also potentially preparing.
15:36Ugochi Daniels, thank you so much for joining us this morning here on Europe Today on Euronews.
15:41And as the European Union tries to muddle through the dire consequences of a war that is never wanted, there's
15:48a pile of business as usual on the desks of EU leaders.
15:51Next week, an EU summit that was meant to focus on making the EU competitive again will, of course, be
15:56overshadowed by the war.
15:58But our Jakub Janus takes a look at the other issues on the agenda.
16:03Weddings are particular events. Some people fixate about what the bride will wear.
16:08But your reporter, on the other hand, is obsessed about the wedding cake.
16:12Because, as in the real world, what matters is not only its overall size, but also how big a piece
16:19you get.
16:19And right now, the EU slice of the global wealth cake is getting smaller.
16:24And one proposed solution to fix it is to finally merge Europe's fragmented financial landscape into a single unified market.
16:31Or, in plain English, instead of baking 27 separate cupcakes, Europe wants one giant cake.
16:39The EU will account for only around 13 of the global GDP in 2030, which is below the US and
16:45way below China.
16:47And foreseeing this, Enrico Letta's 2024 reports argued Europe needs deeper financial integration, calling from a shift from 27 regulatory
16:56realities to just one.
16:58This strategy aims to mobilize the estimated 10 trillion euros in European household savings currently sitting in low-interest bank
17:06deposits or flowing into Wall Street.
17:09By removing national barriers, the plan channels this money into productive investments, allowing innovative companies to scale up across the
17:17block without relying solely on bank financing or even moving to Silicon Valley.
17:22And this week, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain saw the six largest economies in the EU pushed
17:30to accelerate this agenda.
17:31In a joint letter, they are urging Brussels to reach an agreement on integrating capital markets by this summer.
17:38But one can ask, why hasn't this cake been baked yet?
17:42While the recipe might sound great, member states are still arguing over details.
17:47Smaller countries fear the framework could hurt their national markets.
17:52And these technical disputes keep slowing the process.
17:55However, the discussions will continue among EU leaders during the European Council summit next week.
18:01So if you are into money, investment or just baking, stay tuned for more.
18:10Indeed, stay tuned for more. And for more on that EU summit, we're here on Setsu with our Sasha Vakalina
18:15because Ukraine, of course, has not been forgotten.
18:17That's also a big topic on that summit agenda next week.
18:20Absolutely.
18:21Volodymyr Zelenskyy is meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron today on Friday in Paris.
18:25And Ukraine will be a big topic for the summit, of course, also because of this loan, 90 billion loan
18:31to Ukraine, which remains blocked and vetoes.
18:35And the EU leaders will have to tackle this issue and will have to find another way of unblocking the
18:40money.
18:40As we've heard from Ursula von der Leyen and Antonio Costa, which, as we discussed, will not be even plan
18:44B in this case.
18:45It's already plan C, D and so on.
18:47Indeed, that loan we've been reporting about for months here on Euronews.
18:50Sasha Vakalina, thank you so much for that update.
18:52And thank you so much for tuning in to us here on Europe Today on Euronews.
