hello, i'm in miller chan. you are tuned into modus operandi. every day, some 50 vessels passed through the red sea, billions of dollars of cargo varying from oil to goods traversing through daily. but the red sea is the latest region of contention as iran back to who's the fighters from yemen. divert and sometimes take over ships headed towards israel, or is allies the and response the us be getting a bombing campaign directly in to a young man. but the west says it doesn't want, we're with him. it to actions speak louder than words. here we'll discuss it. all

right, let's get into the m, o the . there has been no declaration of war by the united states congress, but president biden has unilaterally approved kinetic action against humans whose these, which washington says is putting commercial vessels at risk. who they say they are diverting, and sometimes capturing ships to impede western commercial interest. a move of resistance and solidarity with palestinians tonight, their renewed fears of the war between israel and homos could expand after multiple attacks on carbo vessels in the red sea that were in the vicinity of the u. s. navy destroyer s. u. s. official site is owned by humans. iranian back, who is the rebels lasted for hours. the us as carney operating an international waters engage and shot down several jones traveling in its direction just weeks

after and shot down missiles and drones, potentially headed toward israel. the joint military strikes were in response to nearly 2 months of attacks by the wrong, but to the movements on call go ships in the red sea, disrupting commercial shipping, the glue global economy, the who is the say that let targeting west and support for israel, hong kong base shipping companies suspended his activity to and from israel, that's after vessels and the red sea came under attack them. who defies as in yemen, who can say they're going to continue their attacks. if israel doesn't stop as war on gossip, important to note the who these have not killed or harmed any of those aboard those vessels, however, us bombings have killed some whose team members the this coming on the heels of the announcement of a multi national coalition of countries joining with the pentagon calls operation

prosperity, guardian during the secretary of defense, lloyd austin's visit to israel had of holidays and his own medical emergency. but that was supposed to be a defensive chaperone emission method, the term maritime hostile action. instead, what we're seeing is the us taking that deterrence from the high seas to land with the u. k. joining on to bomb you haven't for more, will go to someone with experience in diplomatic negotiations and consultation in iran to joining us is cited mohammed mirandi. he's a professor of oriental ism at the university of care. ron professor, thanks so much for being with us. first, let's start with the most recent events that uh, that being these joint us new k airstrikes on who's the targets within yelman's

borders. the west claims this is in retaliation for various red c attacks on western vessels that have been going on the last few months. is this justified? no. the you have any government or, and sort of law. what the wes likes to call the who these they have been blocking ships from going to is really ports ships that are passing through the red sea. and they say that because of the genocide that's taking place in gaza, they are putting pressure on this really, really all other ships that travel through the red sea regardless of their destination, they pass through the red sea without any difficulty. so what the americans and the british are really trying to do is that they're trying to help is randy regime

get it supplies and to assist it so that it can more easily carry out the genocide in gaza. so the iranian navy sees the tanker carrying a rocky crude off the coast of online on january 11th. here's the us national security spokesman john kirby briefly addressing that matter. i'm sure you've all seen reports about the around as a parent seizure of a merchant vessel called the saint nicholas of marshall islands flagged and greek on oil tanker. while it was lawfully navigating waters in the gulf of oman, we condemn his parents, seizure, your running government, and immediately released the ship and its crew is provocative and unacceptable. actions meet the stuff. now, some say this oil was actually stolen to begin with. can you give us any insight into those claims? and if this was indeed retaliation for the us seizure of an a radio and vessel last

year. yes, this was retaliation. the americans acting like pirates, being pirates, they stole a tank or carrying you're running oil. and then they auction the oil, so the iranians found the tank or they americans in the company, they changed the name of the tank, or they were carrying oil from iraq. and the ryans seized the tanker in retaliation . and the iranians want to make sure that the wealth that was stolen from iran by the americans, that wealth is return to iran, and also rob alonso teach the americans a lesson that piracy will not go without punishment. many who follow this type of action from the pentagon could pretty much predict that an escalation was coming when the sect f lloyd austin announced ahead of the holidays

that the us was, you know, joining this international coalition, calling it operation prosperity, guardian view as really spearheading it o p g was supposed to be the snable piece effort to ensure commercial vessels passed through the street of her moods. but now us presence is leading to a massive bombing campaign to protect commercial interest. what went through your mind when this was announced? when the americans announced this, it was clear that they were going to target. yeah. mean. and basically what the americans were trying to do was to allow his, his riley's to use the airport and to receive supplies or to use airports for export. what the you have any government did was that they said that as long as the genocide is taking place,

we will not allow any ships to go to you is riley forest or to leave as randy ports . so the americans were really trying to assist as riley, or seen a few days ago. the americans killed n. yeah, many young sailors who were enforcing the blockade where whereas they are many armed forces in the blockade, they had killed no one. they had ordered ships not to travel to the is there any of the ports those that didn't listen. they were attacked and damaged, but no one was killed. so the americans killed a murder, 10 young man. and now again, in the missile strikes that they carried out across the oven, they killed more people. and this is especially significant

in the sense that the americans for 7 years were helping the saudis carry out genocide in yemen. americans in force starvation siege in the red sea for 7 years. we all remember what happened. the british, how the saudis keep their planes ready and prepared to bomb? yeah, many positions, day and night. so the americans and those rallies were effectively in helping the saudis carry out genocide for 7 years. and now that the m and the government has on the health these they want to block or prevent is rarely use from carrying our genocide the americans. and the british strike. yeah. going to get yeah. man is the error world. horace country we should note. uh it just narrowly

move past what was dumped, the biggest humanitarian crisis over the last 9 years. up until this on slot, on gaza. the country was under heavy bombardment for years by their wealthy neighbor, the saudis, who are, of course, armed by the west. now the young and these are being bombed by the west direct we where will the saudis fall on this? the so these are very concerned because of the one hand out public opinion, the global south. also they stand with the many government to the health piece and side a lot and so the saudis don't want to be seen signing with americans in israel. but on the other hand, the, the saudis,

they've carried out genocide against the admin for 7 years alongside with the support of the americans and the british. so there's no love lost between the saudi regime and the people of yemen. but it would be very dangerous for the saudis to get involved because the m and has a very powerful missile and drone capability. and so the oil and petra chemical and refinery capabilities are very valuable to the many armed forces and to avenue. yeah, many drawn to themselves, so i think the saudis are going to be cautious and trying not to be seen is taking sides with americans coming up next and yeah, man has long been the world's main concern for a humanitarian crisis. after nearly a decade of bombings at the hands of its neighbors, the country only shedding that and from distinction after israel began its campaign

in gaza. we'll discuss it when we return with professor mirandi. sit tight. m o will be right back. the the,

the russian states never d as tight as i'm one of the most sense community best ingles, all sense and up the, in the system must be the one else holes. question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission, the state on the russians cruising and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the fitness center for question, did you say even closer to the

last 112011. the largest us, great ever recorded in japan is we're interested. a 14 me to to know me devastates the focus, fema each and you have pallets on the nuclear re, into zip flooded sparking. and her risk disaster. the vision id is it killed the anytime the in june is living in japan and this nice to go to the area of that needs to be a meltdown. config ashima immediately to the georgia tech corporate side. this

is as in the foyer investigation stats watch on how to use the the welcome back to the m. o i manila chance it's a title. nobody wants to have their country and civilians designated a 2 man at terry and crisis by international bodies such as the you what, that's what you have. monies have endured for nearly 10 years. professor siad mohammed mirandi is back with us. thank you so much for sticking around professor. so speaking of wealthy neighbors, b u i. e. what role will they play in the battle to control the red sea or even the

gulf of oman given that's literally their back yard? i mean, i can't imagine that they'll be too happy with potential conflict in the goals which they share. the united arab emirates is not a large country. it only has 1000000 a bit over 1000000 people who are passport holders overwhelming the population in the u. a e is, is for their foreigners, so it is not a strong and powerful country. they have influence because of their wealth and because of their fellows, connections with the united states. but wow, yeah, man is very poor, largely because of the genocidal war that the amorites and the saudis, with west support carry it out against the country. but it is now a very strong country when it comes to it's military. and that's why they defeated the saudis enamel writings, so them,

or ought to use. and the saudis both are very cautious. because they know that if they engage in any conflict with the admin that may could be on the receiving end of drones and missiles. and that could be devastating to these countries because both of them are very valuable. and both of them are very much dependent on that when left. can you give us any insight into what the official sentiment is from iran political class, where do they stand on what's happening in gaza? so we know that guys in military capabilities, the defense capabilities where they come from a ronnie and support from us, they support their allies like as to stomach to hot bill tunnels. they support them in their endeavors to create a defense capability to resist against. because when the aggression will continue

to do that, they will continue to support us and will continue to support gammon. it will support 11 on and has will and the whole resistance front, whether it's in iraq or syria or anywhere. iran will support them. you rob believes that the is randy received has suffered a catastrophic defeat. not only on october the 7th when it last for the intelligence bottle, as well as the military bottle against us. but also during the past couple of months during the battles where it is ready to reach and try to take garza and they were hit by, by the resistance across the board and separate many casualties. and they so far failed to take any significant part of guidance. but also this really is have

fix, expose themselves to the whole world as genocide as brutal as in humane and the global south. and much of the west is now deeply hostile towards this way, the regime. and also we see that the resistance across the region is supporting the people of guys, whether 11, non for human or iraq or syria. and of course, the wrong supports the resistance. so this has been a catastrophic defeat for this way, the regime. and it's not something that they will ever be able to recover from. and, you know, professor, while i have you, i got to bring up the jcp way. you were involved in the vienna negotiations for the nuclear deal. is that nuclear deal now dead following out what the us is doing down in yemen? well,

the united states walked away from the nuclear deal. and the europeans effectively walked away with americans. and the raw news remained within the framework of the nuclear deal after the americans laughed and imposed maximum pressure of sanctions for one whole year after the us left in the writings continue to abide by the obligations and over the 2nd year they decrease their commitments in 5 stages. so effectively, for 2 years the iranians were more or less abiding by commitments, whereas the americans had or were violating all of their commitments. it is for the americans to come back to the table, the europeans to come back to the table that we had negotiations. we almost had a deal early on in the roll, honey administration, but again, the americans box. so if the americans want to deal, it's up to them to take the final steps that we can get there. wow. i'm

a little bit shocked to, to hear this. so you say there is still room to talk or, or ring to salvage whatever is left that, that iran is open to more talk. yeah. so it depends on the united states, if they agree to the full implementation of the deal, not a partial implementation of the deal. and if they give the necessary assurance, it is then yes, we could go back and revive the j. c p. o, a 20 ron is open to the restoration of the deal and we've always been open to the restoration of the deal. but we have to have a partner that we can be sure that they will fulfill their obligations. and the americans have to agree to a text which would

a have the americans fulfill all it's probably asians and be have a let's say a system in which the americans are forced to abide by those obligations. a very good. thank you so much professor siad mohammed mirandi of the university of care. ron, thank you so much for giving us your time and sharing that expertise. thank you very much. i hope to see you soon. so as the tragedy in gaza continues, who sees in yemen, remain on the turd and vow to keep resisting and solidarity with their muslim brother in in palestine. that is going to do it for this episode of modus operandi the show that digs deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your host manila. chad. thank you so much for joining in. we'll see you again next time to

figure out the m. o. the take a fresh look around it. life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality. distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as 1st. can you see through their illusions, going underground can hello and welcome defrost of full force here. we discussed some real in

the in the 4th at the tone then a cost will be and we should will get you should buy some of the good, you know, correct the they are supposed to be with them when you go $5.00 thing and i'm going to use the same one that is for that and they have the mean gratitude, we've got to push that and the use the motors which $200.00 rich article coming you question she and we would appreciate she you're putting a good today just on customer control. hard to on the beach. so were you in the move from this point? we're subdued witcher's chair of the senior session. you have no story ish. 35 in those numbers are usually raj. wait

a minute to look at osha that you want to go ahead. it's the most the most the people get huge space. that's the, the claims of the king of the belgians leopold the 2nd to the congo were finally authorized by the leading european countries in 18. 85 in the very heart of the african continent states under the rule of the belgian monarch was declared. since the beginning, the congo free state was total, may have for the local population and functioned as a universal concentration camp. the majority of the population, including women and children, were forced to work on the rubber plantation of those who failed to fulfill their quota were beaten and mutilated. to keep the con, the least people under control,

the king set up the so called forest bleak which were punitive detachments that cast terror on the captured country. and its inhabitants, fearing that their subordinates would simply waste bullets hunting for wild animals . the officers demanded that the soldiers gave an answer for every bullet use, and as proof presented a job hand of an african, it was not uncommon when drying to justify the use of the munitions. the calling is to have your date of the hands of not only those who were dead, but also of those who were kept alive. the atrocious exploitation of the congo turned into a real genocide. you know, late 20 years, the policy of the belgians laid into the depth of nearly 10000000 people alongside the hall. across the genocide of the congo population is considered to be one of the green mist pages in the history of mankind. the and it

was warmer to the office agenda to separate from the petro dollar and create a gold back dean are which inevitably led to the us nato, european union. mafia ball, to kill them at the edge of a bayonet. know, throw this country. the serial for 12 years has been the victim of one of the most. savage multi spectrum was the, the us and the u. k. m, a, u, and there are lives in the gulf states and then israel and turkey. and i was instructed that i had to create a crisis by a given date, so that farms and missiles could be fired. and i, i made it clear that i would do my job. i would do my duty. we have seen a carrier of a normal aggressive nurse by the u. s. and the western powers

the, the disturbing images from gall to where at least 15 people have been killed in his radio strikes on rock plus the southern city. the tennessee had previously designated a safe, so the civilians moment in my life pots he meets the family opened his randy. resolve is mistaken for him last minutes until then, a hail of ideas on fine. his step stage is relative demonte. the government takes responsibility for it. and the state also to come many different drugs have been tested according to the files and the documents that we found.
