00:00Let's begin with the biggest question that everybody is now asking.
00:03Are you in talks? Is Iran in talks with the U.S., direct or indirect?
00:11Yeah, thank you.
00:12As we have made it clear yesterday,
00:16there is no talks or negotiations between Iran and the United States,
00:22as it has not been such a negotiation for the past 25 days of their illegal war against Iran.
00:30And you see, we have a very catastrophic experience, I should say,
00:37with the United States diplomacy.
00:38We were attacked two times within a span of nine months
00:44when we were in the middle of a negotiating process to resolve the nuclear issue.
00:49So this was a betrayal of diplomacy.
00:53It is a very famous phrase in Iran right now
00:58because it happened not once, but twice.
01:02So no one can trust the United States diplomacy.
01:07So our position is very clear on what they have claimed.
01:12Right now, our brave armed forces are focused on defending Iran's territory
01:20and sovereignty against this brutal illegal war.
01:23Right.
01:23Mr. Bagai, this is a very, very serious situation when it comes to the global economy.
01:30The world is watching what's happening in the Strait of Hormuz.
01:33In such a scenario, I'm just asking if there is a possibility of having mediators
01:40maybe get involved so that there is some trust factor in talks.
01:45So can somebody, or can we look at indirect talks between Iran and U.S. at this point?
01:53You can ask Omani Fari minister.
01:57He can talk about his experience of mediating between Iran and the United States.
02:04So I think mediators, the institution of mediation also was badly betrayed by the United States.
02:13Look, I understand that the world economy is impacted by what is going on in our region.
02:21But this is not our fault.
02:23You are concerned about the price of oil, the price of groceries.
02:29But we are concerned about the life of our citizens.
02:33Our people are being brutally killed and maimed by the United States and Israel.
02:39Only in a single accident, in a single case of attack on 28 February,
02:46more than 170 innocent kids were slaughtered in the city of Minab.
02:51So we are defending ourselves what the impact, the consequences for the world economy
02:59is directly because of the United States and Israel reckless illegal war
03:06they have imposed on Iran and on the whole region.
