passed bill introduced by the country's democratically elected prime minister muhammad musaddiq to nationalize iran's oil industry. the groundbreaking initiative put an end to britain's four-decade dominion over iran's oil industry. the britain-owned anglo-iranian oil company enjoyed a monopolistic control over the industry and paid. only meger portion of the revenues to the iranian government. nationalization was call for independence. if you go back then the iranians, the entire public realized that this move... was not about economy, it was about independence and go the the musaddiq movement was very popular within, the entire world realized that it was about gaining independence from a colonial power that controlled the economy and from, mean based on the economy, control the political spectrum within iran. when the then

government of musaddiq put the nationalizing of iran's oil its agenda in april 1951, acts of sabotage... and conspiracy against the country were enhanced, the american british coup in august 1953 against musad's government was part of the plot, basically the british were plundering iranian natural resources and oil was at the top of the list, iranians began to protest and there was a growing social movement in the country to nationalized iranian oil, when that ultimately happened, the british imposed on the country, similar to what happened after the revolution in iran. after the victory of the islamic revolution, iran achieved significant milestones in the petroleum industry. these include the discovery of numerous oil and gas fields and expansion in extractable oil and condensate reserves, a rise in oil production and extractable gas, and the discovery of new oil and gas fields.

think that anything is possible in the modern world, but they have already. said this and it is clear everyone that this conflict between russia and nato will be just one step away from a full-scale world war three. i don't think anybody is interested in this. nato military are present there in ukraine. there's nothing good in this, firstly for them because they get killed in large numbers. putin made the remarks in the presser shortly after securing another six-year term in office in the biggest landslide victory in post soviet russian history. other warning came in response to earlier statement by french president emmanuel macron, who highlighted the necessity of western ground operations in ukraine at some point. commenting on the prospects of peace talks with kiev, putin said moscow remains open to negotiations, but won't be lured into truth that would allow ukraine to rearm. he added that russian armed

forces holy advantage on the battlefield, as they have made advances in ukraine. like to welcome my guest to this news review, jan oberk, peace researcher and founder from transnational out of sweden, and christoph horstol author and politician out of berlin, thank you both for being with us, well let me start it off with jen, i mean jen, your thoughts on do you really think, i mean we heard what uh uh the french, well what my? had said, do you really think that europe would actually consider putting troops on the ground in ukraine? well, there was a report in new york times, i think it was... or so ago, which said the cia has been in ukraine the last 10 years and the germans happened to reveal that the british were there to help

with using british artillery, so uh, yes, it doesn't mean thousands of troops in uniform ready to to battle russian forces, but the question i ask myself at this moment, which is the most dangerous in europe, 1945 is how on earth did we get here? nato was, according or is, according to its own perception of itself, defensive alliance that has promised us since 1949 to make peace in europe, and now it's a major actor thanks to the expansion of nato, which is in contravention to all the promises given given to michael gobatjav, now we are there that the 11th. party to this expansion, ukraine, and the 30 years nato has been around in ukraine and the kurditan 2014 orchestrated by the us, is

bringing us to something like you know, it's not the same, but you know what i mean, if i say the cuban missile crisis, we must remember that russia will be neighbor to or part of, if things go madly wrong in europe, whereas the united states is far away from that, well christoph, your take and looking on the... side, i mean, basically, it's a matter of uh, russia's own survival, um, and it does not seem that vladimir putin will back down or can back down, so and he has worn of possible world war ii, if nato does not back down, your thoughts on this, your overall assessment, president putin of russia is very much justified. to rethreaten nato with nuclear war, the reason is very simple, nato's combined conventional force is so much

stronger than russia, that russia in the end may face in case of a war, a situation where the only way to preserve some kind of russian independence will be triggering nuclear war by using nuke arms. first, that is very, very dangerous situation, and nato is crazy to push it so far that this happens, um, and we can only understand that, if we understand the deeply criminal mind within nato, aggressive as it is, they deep financial crisis which washington faces, they are bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, and the only way to save that is to control the... vast natural resources of big russia, so this is why they want to bring russia down, they are not anti-russian, they are not anti- anything, they are not anti iran, they just

want to control the natural resources because they are bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt, that is the real situation, and that is putin's fight, that he wants to preserve sovereignty and freedom of his people in the face of this money driven western aggressiveness, all right, that note, i thank both of you uh for being with me, jan oberg, uh, peace researcher and founder transnational live out of sweden, and christopher horstell author and politician out of berlin. and thank you viewers so much for staying with us a news review, and thank you so much for staying with us right here at press tv. leader of the democratic people's republic of korea has overseen drills involving super large rocket launchers. footage showed kim jong un

it's a special time for britain's 3 million muslims. the fasting hours are long, up to 20 hours a day, but the physical and spiritual rewards are worth it. ramadan has been a fantastic time uh, in sense, in the sense that it's about spiritually connecting with the law of the heavens and the earth and detoxing your bodies. ramadan is the month of prayer in the quran when muslims do their best to... cultivate willpower, discipline and self-restraint. but ramadan isn't just about self-sacrifice, it's about sharing food with your family and friends. it's about increasing solidarity with fellow muslims, and it's about showcasing the beauty of islam to the non-muslim majority living in the uk. being involved in a community helps me to understand the muslim community even more and to be able to share that with my community

back in the states.
