4:09 pm
economic and strategic components iran's economy has suffered under u.s. sanctions after washington withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement of which china remains a part i said because more from the iranian capital. increasingly iran has been turning to russia and china especially since the former us president donald trump imposed sanctions on iran sanctions are still in place today but this visit does come at a time where china has reportedly stepped up its purchase of in direct oil sales for from iran and also this is the highest chinese official that's visited iran since the election of president joe biden in january so both politically and. economically iran has been turning to russia and china and back last year in october when the united states and the president donald trump was planning to put forth a motion to the united nations to stop an arms embargo being lifted the foreign
4:10 pm
ministry here told us that their understanding was and that they were confident that russia and china would intervene with that veto but this deal does has some does have some critics inside the country even though it's been backed by the highest authority the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei now the former president mahmoud ahmadinejad said that the details of this deal had not been made available to the public and thus could not be really passed by parliament but there were also rumors that iran would be handing over control of some of its islands to china now the government here have denied that they said that there's nothing inside the deal that gives any country control of islands or chinese military forces presence in the country but it does have widespread political support inside this country and it's a way for iran to be independent and build a country in an economy that is sanctions resilient. i want to take you to a press conference that's being held by the suez canal authority had or somebody is
4:11 pm
giving an update on the situation of that container ship which has been blocking the suez canal for 5 days let's listen and. it is 400 meters in length $59.00 and with. 125 tons. it has $13300.00 containers on board. the high. of the cargo on top is 52 meters up on reporting the end sit in. a number of dogs moved from the north and the manage to swiftly 80 at range the line of voyage of other ships which were to be put aside in the other branches of the canal.
4:12 pm
and. since the ship has grounded stranded and totally blocking their waterway. the total number of ships waiting at the moment of 321 ships. both in the mold and in the south of the waterway. we are providing all the necessary logistics to those ships. that was a brief part of the press conference being held by the head of the suez canal authority or some of the every giving an update on the situation with regarding to the ever given container ship which has been blocking this was can all for about 5
4:13 pm
days certain since tuesday he gave a description of the ship itself plus it in terms of its length and width and its weight but also the cargo that it was carrying he was talking about the process of rearranging the line of ships which are being caught on either side of the ever given attempting to move them into as he put it waiting areas in the kennel it's estimated the blockage is holding an estimated 9600000000 dollars worth of goods every day that's about 400000000 dollars or according to data from lloyd's list i think we can go back to the press conference not. meters. as it is not as it was this a city to carve away some of the sand in order to. this ship the cargo ship away we had to work 247 simply
4:14 pm
for the reason that the flow think crosses the tugging away of the cargo ships are dependent on the water current the tide and the timings that's why we had to work day and night. and when this ship grounded. it posed. on the canal bank as it is sort of that we were forced to carry out a certain day period would do this saw it of the bank. however i would like to point out that this but those are. many
4:15 pm
comments. that if we. take a closer look at. these bulldozers are working on. removing the sand while tug boats are behind the cargo ship. many on social media commented that this but those are is too small really relatively. to the size of the ship however i would like to point out that the tugs and other boats are operating behind this here which cargo ship in an attempt to the floor to it and bring it back to the main waterway.
4:16 pm
as i said this picture churros the bulldozers the tug boats. operating in this salvage operation. since day one. we deployed 5 tug boats in order to handle the ship. the ballasts holes of this ship contained in line 1000 metric tons of water we had to empty their. in order to make it easier for the tug boats to operate. as i said earlier we
4:17 pm
provided all the logistical assistance to the ships other ships in the way things. and we have an emergency plan in order to put them on course as soon as possible. on jews day when the incident took place. 12 kirkos ships passed from the south. and other 30 from the north we had to put them aside as a result of that incident. other ships are being lined up to take their
4:18 pm
course from port st until the arrived the bitter legs. this is exactly what happened on the day of the accident and the day that followed tuesday and wednesday 'd. also. the same day. we can tack did the owners the captain. and we communicated with them the salvage plan the procedures and protocols that we were follow in the floating this huge cargo ship.
4:19 pm
on wednesday and as i mentioned earlier. we had to pull dozers work and operating. on my long with a capacity of 500 metric tons. of sand this is the capabilities of the 2 bulldozers that were operating overnight. here i would like to show. this is the stranded ship. and we managed. to push this boat. in order to pull away some of the sand. specially
4:20 pm
that the tide was very strong. that's why we allowed these start boats. to remove the sand. in order to push back water underneath. the grounded shift. the result of or operation on the 1st day. did not. bring any tangible result. and i can say that we failed to move the grounded ship. as a said it is
4:21 pm
4:22 pm
was about 40. multicolor miles at that day as they said this is not the cause of the accident but this is one of the factors that we have to keep in mind. the wind was very strong about 40 knots. and as i said it is one of the many factors that led to this incident. our pilots are accustomed to working in very harsh weather condition and they're living proof. is that more than 12 cargo ships passed immediately
4:23 pm
before this person or vessel got stranded. we. also bear in mind that more than 100 vessels crossed the day before. i would like to point out that this ship is stranded in the old waterway not then we'll service 10 hours. it is about $300.00 sorry it's about 35 kilometers from the south entrance. of the kerner as they said it is in the old waterway not then you can. see.
4:24 pm
it had this been a stranded and then he'll come we wouldn't have had any problems simply for the reason that the original waterway would have been clear for the other verses to pass through however unfortunately this incident took place in the original waterway again it is our 400 meters long. why. the width of command at this particular spot is. 250 meters only that's why there is no space for other vessels or even the tug boats to cross.
4:25 pm
on the 2nd day thursday 25th of march the dutch smith salvage company one of the leading salvage companies in the world. contacted us and we managed. to receive them and we have 2 of their representatives present among us here today. if you are willing to cast any questions on them following the end of this press conference. we had an immediate meeting upon their arrival we briefed them on the procedures we had the steps taken
4:26 pm
and the protocol and the plan we have for salvaging the vessel. they commended the plan and they did not make any changes to the plan on the contrary their plan is. integrated. within our own original plan and this is. the action plan and this is what the dutch experts. but it's rated that we would follow the same protocols and they added one more step which is trying to lessen the weight of the stranded ship by removing the ballasts holes and emptying the ballasting water
4:27 pm
4:28 pm
the number was doubled to 8. on the 3rd day it was friday day 26 of march yesterday we. asked that deployed tug birds. by 6 and now we have total 14. boats. the 1st tug boats you see on the top of this slide have the capacity of pulling away 160. metric tons. and this particular slide shows the distribution of tug boats around this stranded vessel.
4:29 pm
the star board of the ship we have. tugboat with a capacity of 800 tons i'm other tugboat with a 60 tons. of 3 say to the other 2 tug boats deployed to the star board of the stranded ship on the other side we have a tug boat of 70 ton capacity. mother 3 tug boats with various. capacities of pulling about 70 tons of
4:30 pm
these tug boats were operating small teeny asli pushing and pulling these stranded. ship. as per. the plan we laid out. trying here to exhibit the number of tugboats deployed their respective care pass it is an order to. illustrate the nature of the operation and i'll tell you exactly what we have been doing through this operation this is also to prove that we took immediate action as we should and we are to sparing no efforts in
4:31 pm
our attempt to refloat the stranded ship. when the ship guards grounded the propellers of the ship stopped that's why. it was not able to move. at 1030 last night we managed to clear a space for the propeller to resume operations and as a result. it was operated slowly and read of the vessel was moved. with the assistance of the tug boats.
4:32 pm
this also and the morning the rudder moved left and right at that point we felt very positive and we had the impression that the ship. could be refloated yesterday however unfortunately it was a low tide more than one and a half to 2 beaters as the water dropped we lost all that is also we had of pain throughout friday. as a result. we. had to engage the sand removal bridges or the sand to move and boats to operate
4:33 pm
throughout the night in order to create another space. as a set from made. up to. 2 on 2 pm. the they managed to create a space. with a depth of 18 meters. and we believe now we will be able to have the propellers and the rudder of the ship to operate the operation is a sterile underway as we speak. and i seize this opportunity to thank all the countries who. offered their assistance including the united states united arab emirates.
4:34 pm
and as a said it is a very here vessel 400 metres long 52 wide with. about $1321.00 containers on top with 50 meters in total hiatt. it is a huge vessel and as i said the operation is still underway as we speak the. today we managed to create a space with a depth of 18 meters and we believe we will be able to have the shave back into operation by today.
4:35 pm
we received also. a number of proposals through the phone or the social media it is a living proof that many are offering all the advice they have i assure you all the pieces of advice recommendations or proposals received whether over the phone or the social media were all taken into consideration and all the suggestions we received have been examined thoroughly. this is the end of my presentation and execution before being elaborate simply because i had to present all the technical details.
4:36 pm
however i would like to reiterate that the soil we're working on is tough other negative factors with the low tide. the strong winds in addition to the other a vacuum. which i mentioned earlier including the weight. and length of the stranded ship thank you very much for bearing with me. and vide the president that is of the dutch company both they expect to join me here on the podium in case you would like to direct any questions to them. and you're watching al-jazeera we've been bringing you live pictures of a press conference from osama robbie he's the head of the su is can all authority and he's been talking this through in significant detail about the events that have
4:37 pm
happened in the last 5 days since the container ship the ever given became large in the su is canal he was explaining that one of the problems they've got is that the ship itself is about 400 meters long but the canal is only 250 meters across that point the problem being that that is part of the old canal that's not part of the new y. e to canal however most significantly he has said that they have managed to dig into the soil beneath the rudder and propeller to a depth of about 18 meters that means that the rudder and the propeller are apparently now free to operate and that they are hoping to have the ship back into operation in the coming hours they have been 14 trying to pull the seen enormous container vessel away from the buying but every effort that they have tried so far up to this point has failed so he was saying that it is important to note that with
4:38 pm
the propeller and the rudder now free there is a good chance he thinks that the ship will be able to move on saturday. ok let's return to this 25 year agreement that's been signed between iran and china china is iran's leading trade partner it was also the biggest buyer of iranian oil before then us president donald trump really impose sanctions in 2018 lying ease visit that's the chinese foreign minister. this is days after he hosted russian foreign minister silvan love for talks together they called for more international dialogue at the un china iran and russia all face difficult relations with washington after president joe biden's administration promised to remain firm in dealings with them. however recent column sutton is the head of the public diplomacy research institute at the peace spirit foundation he's joining us by skype from toronto like you very much indeed for being with us we heard earlier in
4:39 pm
the day from our correspondent said begg explain to us why iran is so keen to do business with china and sign this agreement but why is iran so attractive to china . look a the major political positioning are kind of energy but a. holocaust and energy and it is the connecting point of meeting the asia and europe the whole landmass that we have east to west so that the location the position of the on and the less a continuity known as the regional power and this one a time that we actually involved and all the company can then gers working with iran can give china and of course unity to play a bigger role in international politics have a place in the region i don't have
4:40 pm
a bit of a portion here to. pursue is one but as one road said for the actually any ship that had it had been pursuing for so long and they did not end line the land rose and also this year out can go through you on the significant player in death initiate if so only thing can help china how to better. the position in this region on the other side iran is also going to benefit from the pack in the deal in the long term. we all know that china has been a very significant partner for you on using on the years of sanctions that has me suffering and peace can actually. expand the corporation and have some long term perspective for the corporation between to do countries and. help here on news from the sanctions on the big bad being imposed on iran you naturally buy in
4:41 pm
the united states and. on the other. hand china is going as we know about the past it can include not only economy. sounds of political construct and military cooperation so it on iran is going to work with china in security issues in the region they're going to have somebody number one games in the this region and it's an important report that china to get to the persian gulf and the sea of oman and it can be found so tough that a. retaliation for u.s. presence in. in the south and 1000 china sea and with a threat to chinese sovereignty now the chinese can and they will in international politics by coming to these region where united states as their imo has a lot of bases major bases in the region and a lot of interest in the region so that that 'd that corporation is we can say is
4:42 pm
again a common enemy or the gun except for the china which is the united states and of course all of this is happening against the backdrop of the nuclear talks which the u.s. has said that it is open to at least some sort of discussion with that given the fact that iran seems to be increasing its links with china one would imagine that the u.s. was already aware that this was on the table how difficult is it going to be for iran to reach some sort of understanding eventually with the united states if it is so focused on china and possibly russia as well. you know in foreign policy 'd isn't working with several they are in the in the ward so it doesn't mean that if you're working with china or russia it means that you are not going to would be united states or any other countries. it back is actually foreign policy think says we are going to. space and what does our players but the point is
4:43 pm
that the problem is before you want not the state relations is it washington actually they are not they haven't reached a verdict on this 90 yet and we know after more than 100 days in office by the need to steal out here into the same policies that present strong president from have been doing it here and do the same and maximum pressure campaign keeping the only thing needed a call an action against you on and everything is the same just the people in the name have changed in the white house it shows that the but had missed ration has not realized that the maximum pressure has failed and is actually at maximum failure right now as i did on this that iran is now experiencing economic good as was predicted by the i.m.f. and is now moving forward the sanctions need not just and natural dire need for the
