athlete would be bored from wearing the hijab. on september 18th, president of iran sayid ibrahim raisi arrived in new york a three-day trip to participate in the most important meeting of the world's countries. that is the united nations general assembly. the trip has strategic importance for various. reasons, first president raisi's presence in the un general assembly to maintain dialogue with the officials from different countries was an important aspect of this tour. last year, mr. raisi held 13 diplomatic meetings at the level of heads of state and prime ministers during his attendance at the un general assembly, which was considered one of the most important achievements of the 77th assembly. on the other hand, raic's presence in the forum is a... another manifestation of the failure of

iran's isolation strategy, which has been pursued by the united states and some western governments over the past year. second president raisi and his peers were expected to conduct another round of talks with the european states over already leftoff negotiations about the joint comprehensive plan of action or the jcpoa. consultations on the sidelines of the 78th assembly could help unty the current deadlock and the jcpo negotiations and open a new perspective for the negotiations in this area. third in his speech at the un general assembly, mr. raisi spoke the necessity of move the structure of the international system towards a fair order and strengthening multilateralism. in his speech he emphasized the need to strengthen regional and international integration with the central role of the islamic republic. the words of the president iran showed that iran

is determined to strengthen the new international order based on multilateralism, particularly after tehran accession to the shanghai cooperation organization and the bricks. to know more, we talked to dr. faad izadi of tehran university. we asked him about the significance of president raisi's trip to new york. you know, iranian presidents generally go to the un general assembly. that is held annually in september, and the reason they do that is, they see this as an opportunity for iran to present what iran is all about by an iranian leader, as you know, there is a difficulty in western media athletes, the corporate media in the united states, in a number of european.

countries that demonize iran, so there is this issue of public diplomacy, um, the idea of having an iranian president talk about iran to an international audience is going to be important. dr. izadi told us why the iranian president held the holy quran when delivering his speech at the un general assembly. you saw this year. the president held the quran, and this is a reaction to what we experienced in the in last year, quran learning, which is designed to demonize islam, so this this idea of demonization is not a problem of just iran, islam in general, is demonized in western countries, especially, islamophobia is quite extensive,

so a portion of the president speech dealt with that issue, and since he is a cleric, i think he thought that this would be his duty to defend the book, the holy book and talk about the virtues of islam. speaking to the annual un general assembly meeting in new york, iran's president ibrahim delivered a manifesto for the future of the world and set a whole new menu on the table. president raisi discussed the emergence of non-western powers, encouraged regional economic and security partnerships and lamented the ongoing israeli occupation of palestinian territories. his razor-blade attack on america's lifestyle as a widespread paradigm for the entire world, made his points straight among the audience. president

raisi's speech implied that the classic world order based on us values is no longer liked and accepted by the emerging powers and the international community. the western culture should not be. seen as the final word in the globe as it's facing widespread challenges that have remained unresolved. more over, all cultures and values across the world must be respected by others, while there is no hierarchy of importance in the international arena. ما در یک دوره سرنوشت ساز تاریخی قرار گرفته ایم. جهان در حال تغییر و گذار به نظم بینمللی

نوظهور است. و این مسیر غیر قابل برگشت است. ما معادله سلطه غربی برای جهان دیگر جواب نمی دهد. نظم که لیبرال که در خدمت منافع سلتهگران و سرمایه داران سیری ناپذیر بود. کنار زده شده است و در یک کلام پروژه امریکای کردن جهان شکست خورده است. ironically numerous metaphors and examples have been written or coded by the westerners to prove that western culture is at elevated levels with great finess. world can hear and take these metaphors much as tongue and cheek humor as the reality has

proved otherwise. in the late 19th century and by the close of the indian wars, almost 5 million native americans were slaughtered in north america by the... new residence in the name of civilization. between 1880 to 1920, british colonial policies in india claimed the lives of 100 million indians only in 40 years. in 1994, the french government bore significant responsibility for enabling a forseable genocide against the tutsies by the paris backed huto government in rwanda, which left 8000 tuts killed. between 1970 to 1990. while iran declared neutrality to the warring sides during world war the first, the country was occupied by the forces of british, ottoman and russian empires. western historians put the toll in persia or iran to about two million people because of hunger and from diseases like cholera, plague and

typhus. however, other historians rose the estimates to 10 million people. this is dr. ali resvan pour, a political analyst and... university professor. one of the main point in which president raisi stated in his un general assembly speech was that he called upon the un secretary general antonio guteresh that the united nations should be the voice of the nations, not the voice of some powerful countries. nowadays after seven decades of the foundation and also establishment of un security council or united nations. we have seen that there isn't any change in the structure and core structure of the... mean un united nations namely the united nations, un general assembly, un security council and etc. so he emphasized the policies in which the nations, oppressed nations of the world should pursue in order to reach and also convey their voice

to the outside world. although those disastrous days have long passed, and there are prevalent concepts of human rights and democracy. discussed here and there by the western states, there are quite a few cases witnessed by the world at every time and place. in his speech in the united nations, mr. raisi emphasized the need for regional stability, noting the security of neighboring countries directly implicated the security of iran. he also criticized western states for what he said was an overt attempt to undermine stability in the region, saying that western intelligence agencies were moving terrorists across the region in a very targeted fashion. indeed, president raisi was alluding to an organized attempt by the western states to set up training camps for terrorists in iraq, syria and number of other west asian states. cia, musad and several

western and asian agents were present at the camps all across the region to train terrorists for battle and suicide operations. on 12th july 2002, the people's daily wrote that 4,000 britains were trained at terror camps in afghanistan in a 10-year period. even american citizens were spotted and in afghanistan and pakistan who were engaged in such camps across the region. by sheer surprise then u.s. president donald trump disclosed that some democratic party figures in the us were involved in the terror camp to train daish and alcada in the middle east. more than million iraqis, 35000 syrians and 176,000 afghans were killed since. 2001 as a result of us lead state terrorism. savagery

went to the roof as terrorist butchered civilians looted and ransacked their houses and demolish cities and towns like no burbers have ever dreamt of. امنیت امروز برخی از کشور ها در منطقه ما مدیون. بزرگوار ما نبود قهرمان مبارزه با تروریسم. خیلی از مناطق در آتش داعش می سوخت. اما آیا از این رشادتها و شهامت ها و ایستادگی ها در مقابل تروریسم شما در رسانه ها و هالیوود تصاویری را

مشاهده کرده ایید؟ the islamic republic of iran boore the flag of war on terrorism as general qaسم sulaymani began his coordinated operation against the daesh in syria and iraq. iranian trainers alongside syrian army and militia who were given air protection by the russian air force fought with daesh across the syrian territory up until the armed group lost its team. we invited abul faz zohravand to our studio at press tv which he kindly accepted. mr. zohravant is veteran iranian politition and diplomamat. came and took the initiative. he did his best to keep syria united and reclaimed areas lost to. terrorist groups, he fought against the dangerous movement called daesh, which had even threatened people in the west. they were

trying to found daesh as the ruling establishment in the region in order to defame islam and to make the region insecure. qasim sulaymani played a vital role in this regard. he let the campaign against daesh terrorists. this is the biggest document in confirming iran's anti-terrorist positions. his assassination on the contrary reveal is the terrorist nature of the united states. the israel regime in terms of dollars, $3 billion dollars, $53 million, $525 million dollars, that's peanut for you, america has turned the middle east region into the biggest arms race in the world with military aid of $38 billion dollars to israel during the last 10 years and the sale of hundreds of billions of dollars of weapons to the countries of south. saudi arabia and the uae during the same period. according to sipri,

the us supplied 79% of the country's major conventional weapons between 2016 till 2020. this accounted for 24% of all us arms sales in that period, making saudi arabia by far their largest customer. in financial terms, the us agreed nearly $37 billion dollars worth of arms. sales with saudi arabia between 2016 till 2020, between financial years 2016 till 2020, the us agreed fms deals worth $4.7 billion dollars with bahrain, $9.4 billion with kuwait, $15.9 billion with qatar and $9.4 billion with the uae. even war ontaric. campaign launched after twind towers attacks in 9/11 may convincingly be explained

in this way: maybe the whole story was a great lie. president raisi lamented israel's occupation of the west bank and the gaza strip, labeling it, negation of the inherent rights of the palestinians. he also emphasized the need to recognize palestinian statehood and the withdraw of israeli troops and settlements from the region. سال اشغال سرزمین فلسطین و ظلم به آن ملت مظلوم و کشتار زنان و کودکان پایان داده شود و حقوق ملت فلسطین به رسمیت شناخته شود. تداوم اشغال فلسطین و بخش هایی از خاک لبنان و سوریه توسط رژیم صهیونیستی و محروم ساختن ملت مظلوم فلسطین از حقوق مسلمم و ذاتی خود به ویژه در تشکیل دولت فلسطینی به پایتختی بیت المقدس منجر به

تشدید جنایات این رژیم و گسترش دامنه تجاوز و تهدید به human rights organizations have released shocking reports of israeli atrocities in the palestinian lands. the report signified that in the israeli army offensive on the gaza strip, israel has systematically destroyed palestinian homes in what amounts to a form of collective punishment against civilian population. one should also add hundreds of cases of shootings, beatings, profilings, arrests and imprisonments of the palestinian youths and adolescents in the occupied lands. according to the un office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs, over 200 palestinians were killed in 2023, which is the highest

since 2005. 46 of these casualties are small children who were killed while they were playing on the streets or sleeping at their homes. the israeli committee against house demolitions also estimated that israel had raised 55,000 palestinian structures as of 2022. critics claim that they are used as a means to judaiis parts of the occupied territory, especially in the east al-quds. and reporters were not immune from israel's attacks, palestinian ministry of information says at least 45 journalists have been killed by israeli forces since 2000, including al-jazira reporter shirin abu was on may 11th 2022 engine in the occupied west bank. you

know, as we talk, we had the war criminal pr. minister in occupied territories netanyahu trying to demonize iran and he's talking about normalizing restiration with saudi arabia and the map that he has of occupied palestine is the whole occupied palestine which you know the idea was at least removing. and leaving the territories that was occupied by zice forces in 1967 so he has included even those territories which is in line with what iran has been saying that iran wants the one state solution the whole country needs to be governed through

democratic practices and if you have one man one volt in these territories. you would not have not as the prime minister, you would have a muslim, palestinian, arab, as the prime minister of palestine, if because the population of palestinians is more than the zionist that have taken over that land. this is, the maximalist strategy of the zionist lobby has seen the misnamed anti-deformation league, or adl finding itself in the crosshairs of the world's. man. elon musk has rightly taken exception to adl's accusation that he's an anti-semite and their pressure campaign and companies to stop advertising on the social media platform known as x that he purchased in 2022. so this is an organization which uh is dedicated to criticizing and uh that's it's main function. the adl is racist

organization. there's no question about that. its entire existence is to serve as an agent for for scientis movement in. states, now let's shift gear to some news about president rais trip to new york and his speech at the un general assembly's 78th session. welcome to the new section of the program where we take a look at some... news excerps from different news websites. qatari foreign minister held separate talks with iran and the us representatives during the un general assembly session in new york to resolve bilateral concerns. and misunderstandings between the two sides. iran and the united states indirect negotiations are expected to cover assortment of issues, including bilateral ties, regional

cooperation, international issues and iran's peaceful nuclear program. on the sidelines of the un general assembly, iran's political director,eri met with political directors of france, germany and the uk, the so-called e3. the iranian side said the meeting had discuss sanctions lifting and the hopes that the recent prisoner exchange between the us and iran could usher in better diplomatic relations. iran's foreign minister hossain amir abdullahyan told reporters about the sanctions relief talks that if the us shows its true intentions, reaching an agreement to return all parties to the jcpoa and lift sanctions on iran is not far off. this brings us to the end of this section. please stay tuned as we go back to our main. the islamic republic opened talks with the eu-3 in a good-will gesture in 2005 and broaden talks with the p5+1 group of countries up until the

2015 nuclear deal and ever since has been always living up to its commitments. under the jcpoa, there were also obligations that long time sanctions would be removed, shockingly the then u.s. president donald trump unilaterally withdrew from the deal, calling it the... خروج امریکا از برجام نقض اصل مسلم وفای به عهد بود. دولت امریکا با نقض سریح مفاد قطعنامه ۲۲.۳ شورای امنیت از عمل به تعهدات خود ضیل برجام اجتناب می کند. با این رفتار امریکا عملا و بر خلاف تمام ادعاهایش قانونگریزی و زورگویی را به جای همکاری تجویز کرده است. the joint comprehensive plan of

action, commonly known as the iran nuclear deal or iran deal, is an agreement on the iranian nuclear program reached in vienna on 14th july 2015 between iran and the p5+1, the five permanent members of the united nations security council, that is china, france, russia, united kingdom. united states plus germany, together with the european union. tehran performed all parts of the deal in a unilateral manner, waiting for the embargos to be removed. after the trump administration twice certified iran's compliance in 2017, in may 2018, the united states withdrew from the jcpoa, as trump pledged he would negotiate a better deal. up until now, the united states and the european union. union have imposed an unprecedented 1500 sanctions which blanketed banking and energy sectors, international trade, shipping, nuclear and arms industries,

insurance, central bank of iran, islamic revolution, guard courses and number of individuals, groups and organizations in iran. mr. zohrand was also member ofan's nuclear negotiations team. چون من خودم عضو تیم مذاکره کننده هم بودم. member of the negotiating team, the nuclear deal showed that it's useless to negotiate with the west. under the jcpoa, iran was after building trust, but it cost the nation dearly. we lost many opportunities and accepted many limitations, which were unprecedented. surprisingly enough, the sanctions intensify, they were supposed to be lifted or erased. this all shows that what the west said. is different from what it does, i think it was a great lesson. iran is still committed to the jcpa, those violated the agreement where the americans in the first place, and the

europeans next. they've proved that they're not able to keep to a single international agreement. the us is responsible for four decades of protracted sanctions slapped on the iranian people. white house oes iranian people not just a simple apology, but decade. of trust. iran has now calibrated its diplomacy to boost economic and environmental cooperation and reinforce security in the region with the help of its neighbors. tehran's efforts to create a regional security camp is a direct message to foreign powers to end their military interventions. this was right after the western states attempts to stage a coup in iran on september 2022, which hit the snag. dorost. در زمانی که برخی قدرت ها جهان را به سوی جنگ های بیشتر پیش می برند جمهوری اسلامی ایران سیاست همسایگی و

همگرایی را مطرح کرده است سیاست همسایگی سیاستتی خیرخواهن برای منطقه است و بر این اساس همکاری های گستترده اقتصادی و تقویت پیوند های زیرسستی در صدر دستور کار منطقه قرار میگیر. the west will create different kinds of conditions in iran and improve our i mean economic malice, but right now we are trying to improve the relations with our neighbors and this improving relations of the i mean neighbors and also pursuing just taking part in different kinds of regional and international organizations will create and pave the ground for iran to become a good and very active player regarding regional

politics and international policies. and also challenge the us unilateralism around the world. that's all for today. thank you for watching from the whole team. hope you found this edition valuable and informative. please do tune in same time next week and each week after. don't forget to leave your comments and topic requests. till next time, take care. one you're watching here from your host.
