00:00If they thought that in a day or in a few hours they will subdue an entire state, I believe
00:10these people now understand how mistaken they were.
00:14Iran protects itself, it responds to this aggression by striking. We need to make sure that all the participants, all
00:22the parties to this crisis situation stop actions that damage the civilian infrastructure and that causes losses.
00:32It's an immediate urgent thing that must be done and we hope that along with other reasonable countries we will
00:41promote this approach.
00:43Most importantly, it was unprovoked aggression, aggression that was certain to cause a reaction if those who planned these strikes
00:56against the Islamic Republic of Iran in the midst of negotiations for the second time and because for the first
01:04time it happened last June.
01:05If they thought that in a day or in a few hours they will subdue an entire state, I believe
01:16these people now understand how mistaken they were,
01:21how misguided they were. And of course Iran protects itself, it responds to this aggression by striking military infrastructure sites
01:34that the countries that attacked Iran have in this region.
01:39And to my deepest regret, also the Gulf countries cooperation Council member states are suffering from this and we urge
01:54everyone, first of all, the hostilities must be stopped, parties should sit at the table of negotiations, either still trust
02:02for negotiations,
02:05and secondly, as the immediate step. We need to make sure that all the participants, all the parties to this
02:16crisis situation stopped actions that damage the civilian infrastructure and that causes losses among the civilian population, both in the
02:29Arab countries of the Gulf and in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
02:34And in my view, it's an immediate, immediate urgent thing that must be done and we hope that along with
02:42other reasonable countries, we will promote this approach towards resolving this situation.
02:49Speaking about the situation around Iran, but we can see that implications are much more global.
02:58But once again, I emphasize this, we stand for, along with like-minded countries, we stand for the immediate cessation
03:06of the hostilities and looking for the political resolution.
03:09And Mr. President, President Putin has said this on numerous occasions, we are ready to facilitate these negotiations if there
03:17is, if we are required to stand as facilitators.
03:21We believe that we are capable of being facilitators in these negotiations, but when the American counterparts are saying that
03:33they want to take more than 400 kilograms of the enriched uranium that is held in Iran,
03:39and no matter how enriched this uranium, and if that's what they want, then that's not about being ready, being
03:49open for negotiations, it's not about using the facilitation
04:00opportunities with the Russian Federation, as it was the case with the Iran nuclear deal some years ago.
04:09So the Americans just want to get this energy source like they want to get all the energy sources from
04:19the Latin America, from the Caribbean, from the Persian Gulf, and in other parts of our West Planet.
