00:00Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim.
00:01Good afternoon everyone.
00:05And thank you for being here with me.
00:10Well, I would like to make a statement on the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the ongoing
00:16situation.
00:17Particularly the situation in and around the Strait of Hormuz.
00:23I will not be taking questions, unfortunately.
00:28As my statement, I believe we'll address the relevant issues and convey Iran's position clearly.
00:35First, on U.S. aggression and its ongoing unlawful measures.
00:40The Islamic Republic of Iran reiterates its steadfast commitment to international law, the UN Charter, and diplomacy.
00:48This commitment was demonstrated through the negotiations that concluded in the JCPOA, its implementation, and Iran's continued efforts to pursue
01:00diplomacy over the past two years.
01:01Even while facing U.S.-Israeli acts of aggression.
01:06The United States choose the opposite path.
01:12Aggression, threats, assassination, economic warfare, and the blatant disregard for international law and the UN Charter.
01:22Due to the U.S.-Israeli aggression against Iran, more than 5,000 people have been killed, including hundreds of women
01:30and children.
01:30They committed a grave crime and flagrant violation of international law by assassinating Iran's supreme leader, along with other senior
01:41political and military officials.
01:43residential areas, schools, hospitals, energy facilities, sports facilities, cultural sites, transport infrastructure, and other civilian objects have been struck.
01:55The massacre of more than 168 students and teachers in Minab, the cluster munition attack on La Merde Stadium, the
02:05bombing of residential homes in Gashb with 2,000-pound bombs,
02:10and the missile attack on a wedding ceremony in Syriq are only some of the documented examples.
02:21Yet, from the podium of the General Assembly, the U.S. President, along with the Criminal Prime Minister of Israel,
02:30attempted to distort the facts and reverse the rules of victim and aggressor.
02:40The United States and the Israeli regime cannot whitewash their criminal acts against the people of Iran.
02:47The United States is now weaponizing economic deprivation as an instrument of collective punishment and political coercion.
02:59It is deliberately inflicting grave and foreseeable harm on the Iranian people and directly violating their fundamental rights, including the
03:09rights to life, health, medicine, and food.
03:12This is not diplomacy.
03:15It is coercion and economic terrorism.
03:18This constitutes a flagrant and direct violation of the binding provisional measures ordered by the ICJ on 3 October 2018.
03:29Second, on Iran's peaceful nuclear program.
03:33The renewed allegations concerning Iran's peaceful nuclear program are political, not a substitute for technical and legal assessment.
03:42The allegation that Iran is on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon is a big lie.
03:53The allegation that Iran is on the verge of acquiring a nuclear weapon is a big lie, first concocted by
04:01Israeli in 2003.
04:03And the United States and European countries have been pirating it ever since.
04:10Iran has been a faithful party to the NPT since 1970 and has been subject to extensive IAEA monitoring for
04:17decades.
04:17The United States cannot credibly claim to defend nonproliferation while attacking IAEA safeguarded peaceful nuclear facilities in clear violation of
04:29its international obligations.
04:33Third, on the situation in and around the Strait of Hormuz.
04:37Iran remains committed to safe and secure navigation.
04:41But maritime security cannot be restored through further military actions, threats, blockade or economic coercion.
04:51Until 28 February 2026, the Strait was open.
04:56The insecurity prevailing in the Strait of Hormuz and the disruption of maritime navigation are the direct result of the
05:05aggressive actions of the United States and the Israeli regime.
05:10You cannot bomb a country, threaten its annihilation, impose a maritime blockade and coercive measures and expect automatic restoration of
05:21security and navigation.
05:24Responsibility also rests squarely with those regional states that, in flagrant disregard of the principles of good neighborliness and in
05:36violation of their international obligations under the UN Charter, enabled and facilitated the aggression by opening their territory, military bases,
05:46airspace and logistical and intelligence infrastructure to the aggressors.
05:52And fourth, on MOU and way forward.
05:56Following the good offices of Pakistan and Qatar, Iran and the United States signed the Islamwad MOU on 17 June.
06:06Under paragraph five, Iran undertook to make the necessary arrangements to facilitate the safe movement of vessels.
06:13Iran immediately began technical discussions with the Sultanate of Oman aimed at implementing that commitment and restoring maritime traffic.
06:25UN Charter and the European Union of the United States are in charge of the European Union of the United
06:25States.
06:25Iran and the Financial Century of the United States�верAAAARCYVIC and the-
06:25press conference was opened for an early booster and when they were among the first
06:25of the entire people at the Uman zwy June 12th as well.
