i think saudi arabia is often -- we have a good track record in that regard.e played a role in -- we played an important role in ending the conflict with rich rea. we offered to mediate between russia and ukraine. we have provided billions of dollars as the caller mentioned. yemen alone we provided $70 billion in humanitarian assistance. in the form of food, medicine assistance. even oil derivatives and exports and we are helping yemen on its way to recovering from the war. also providing billions of dollars to syrian refugees and displaced people. we are trying everything we can to assist not just our neighbors but assist the international community the kingdom adheres to a set of principles when it comes to conducting foreign policy that has made it uniquely positioned to play the role of honest broker. we believe very strongly in the political resolution in gaza and we believe in the importance of crating an open channel of dialogue and communication. we support collective efforts and crisis revolution and we support internationally recognized state institu

arab arabia and qatar, between saudi arabia and turkey, between the uae and turkey, many arab countries are actually going to damascus there , actually discouraging the issue of syria , allowing it to become an embassy there. this is actually the initiative of china, which is actually the restoration of relations between iran and saudi arabia it was there, in fact, after that project was successful and the us did not interfere with that project, israel blackmailed an attachment on the us foreign policy table, and that was that the case of normalizing relations between israel and saudi arabia should also be pursued. yes, it was a demand that the zionists had from the american government. it was because of the yes from the american government , and the interesting thing is that the american officials themselves announced that one of the most important reasons for the al-aqsa storm was actually the discussion of annexing the normalization project, and this also happened to the palestinians. it was a normalization plan, it was a normalization plan, and in fact , they considered this to be a

the main destination was saudi arabia . it is said that the agenda of this trip is to follow up the normal relationship between saudi arabia and the tel aviv regime. the side between the united states and saudi arabia regarding the normalization of relations with israel is in its final stages . it is said that it is almost finalized. in the american and zionist media, we are faced with an environment where it is said that netanyahu, for example, now has a choice in front of him, one is to attack rifa, two. . the attention here is that in the last two months, the zionists have said a lot about the attack on rafah, but they have not been able to do it yet, and the analysts say that basically the option of attacking rafah is a burnt out option, it is not operational , just like the attack on other places did not achieve any meaningful results here. can't get it for them yes, now it is not possible that they have the burnt option of attacking relations that have not had a good image in the region for years and that the nations

we have a clear vision for saudi arabia. it's called vision 2030. division is to empower our youth and are women and entrepreneurs. it does seek to transform saudi arabia into a regional tourism destination. so we have a very clear vision and we are well on our way in terms of implementing that. we also have a vision for the broader region. we believe if our neighboring countries also put their resources for their greatest assets, the region can be transformed. israel could potentially become part of this vision. there's no reason why the middle east cannot enjoy peace and prosperity and we cannot have people and goods and services traveling. israel could potentially be part of this. it's the vision we have for that region, but for the time being, for that to happen, we need to resolve this dispute and the measures that israel has taken in the targeting of civilians and the killings of thousands of civilians and reducing gaza to ruins is not the way forward. >> have any talks with israel about normalization of ties been ongoing or have they been put

it is reasonable that saudi arabia can work synergistically in the region.he follow-up of negotiations that took place in baghdad indirectly between iran and saudi arabia ultimately led to the fact that the relations between iran and saudi arabia should be told to settle down and the first positive effect was actually the re-establishment of these relations, the peace we are in today. it feels like yemen was in the midst of a war, yemen was exposed to military attacks, military planes, massacres, destruction, and the houses that were destroyed belonged to the women, children, and people of yemen. well, we made a political move. 1401 was closed, that's right, it's the same contract as well as the dipel process. the three strategic words of the supreme leader's office were: honor, wisdom, and expediency. it means that you are a child of your time, know it. know the environment, know your possessions. wherever necessary, based on these three basic principles, in fact, let's follow the relations with the world. and this happened in mr. raisi's government. alhamd

it would effectively give saudi arabia u.s. security guarantee. of an agreement might require u.s. senate approval, but in return, saudi arabia may get access to some high-tech weaponry that it doesn't currently have. saudi arabia could also be allowed to pursue civilian nuclear program. that would give the u.s. access to saudi uranium stockpiles. so there are a lot of potential wins for both sides, but it is very much hanging on other issues that will be difficult to resolve. tom: what are those issues? what other hurdles that could get in the way of this deal? bill: if israel wants to be a part of this agreement and for netanyahu, getting a deal with saudi arabia has long been one of his goals but it would conflict with another one of his political priorities, which is basically avoiding having to accept a two state solution to the palestinian crisis. so he would have to decide which of those two goals is really politically more important to him right now. it could mean the end of his coalition government. there would be a lot of complications w

the intimate relationship between iran and saudi arabia will continue. good political relations should be with the development of relations. the presidential protection unit also rested in the eternal house. commemorating the martyr president of iran and. companions of his martyr in beirut, seyyed hassan nasrallah referring to the intellectual and practical character and support of the martyred president to the resistance movement, ayatollah raisi should be looked at as a role model. the attacks of the occupying regime on ghaza warfa and the testimony of more than 30 other palestinians, the international court of justice ruled to stop the israeli operation in rafah. the spokesman of the yemeni armed forces, in support of the people of gaza, the yemeni army carried out 3 unique anti-ship operations related to the zionist regime in the arabian red sea and the mediterranean sea. there is a risk of flooding tomorrow azerbaijan provinces. west-east ardabil, zanjan , ghazvin, alborz, tehran, north central province, mazandaran . in the name of god. o allah, pea

and now, in all likelihood, this broader regional agreement with saudi arabia. and instead of going into the democratic convention this summer against the backdrop of continued fighting in gaza, they could theoretically be going into the convention against the backdrop drop of this historic or transformational agreement between the us, saudi arabia, and israel. and at least a runway for our process toward a settling or at least managing the israeli palestinian conflict i mean, those are two completely different worlds for joe biden and that opportunity is there. netanyahu sees it here is political interests to be squashing that. but as you know, i've talked about, there are great drains and the israeli government about that. so we're seeing fractures really in every country tree that is involved except perhaps saudi arabia and incredibly fraught political tension within robert brown steen for us, thanks so much. appreciate it. i want to thank you for watching in a newsroom. i'm paula newton. i will be right back with more of our breaking news coverage on the dea

you have with saudi arabia , the trip that mr.si had and the meeting with muhammad bin salman, having the respect that the saudi authorities give to the president and in fact the position of the president in the countries of the region of the world, in china, in russia , you see, it affects the five foreign ministers of the five brics member countries and the capabilities and capabilities of the islamic republic of iran from different aspects. especially economic, commercial and in the transit and requests and iran's membership will be confirmed and everything, in fact , now if we want to look at the matter in this way , the monuments and achievements of mr. raisi's government in the field of foreign policy, mr. dr. amir abdullahian, and the correctness that you had from this era are the most important things that should be prioritized in the future plan. the parliament and the future government should be put in place. in your opinion, what are the issues? look , our country is not living in a normal situation and conditions. good

then we see that during these two or three years , the relationship with saudi arabia was restored, as well as the relationship with egypt i think that mr. amir abdullahian was able to go through the final stages and i think that there are only one or two steps left to make it happen and it was even yesterday that the king of one of these countries made a request from somewhere that we would like to improve our relationship with iran. help us to improve how the relationship with the arab countries was finally achieved . that country is bahrain. bahrain, now i didn't want to, yes, no, i'll name it, now that i'm not present, let it be said that bahrain has seen amir abdallahian's embassy ministry for a period. i was the foreign minister . i went to bahrain on several trips. abdallahian played an excellent role during his embassy in bahrain. it was excellent when you were the minister . yes, yes, look at what we had with bahrain. after all, bahrain was a part of iran . it was separated as a country and it was recognized in the united nations that i don't want to go back to that history. i

months about, you know, as security lines between a saudi arabia and u. s. and us trying to get as well to create, to some concessions a saying this could lead to normalization between so do you saudi arabia and as well. but it seems also rather a fall off because then and it's, and y'all would have to agree to something like a palestinian state would something he has rejected so far. but of course, it comes at a very course of points that we are seeing on the ground defensive in the south of expanding. and that has been in recent weeks, a red line for the u. s. administration. so we expect them to hear from a jake sullivan on that, as we are seeing, of course, about 800000 people. that's an estimate now from the united nations of being displaced once again, a dire situation in many turns situation across scars and intensifying bombardment stairs. so we're expecting to hear also the stands of the white house in this situation right now. w's tanya crime. adair inter ridgeland time, you thank you. the meantime sizing between israel and how much is intensify

japan, and i remind you that in general saudi arabia is one of the largest energy suppliers in japanhis has something to do with us, very special. in 2022, this visit was canceled due to opposition from the united states, because of the opec deal, i remind you that the united states was very much against this deal, because energy prices disrupted the visit to japan. now there is a visit to japan ahead of all negotiations, everything else, as if on moral strong-willed, on bilateral relations, so to speak, then there is. even other countries are beginning to influence their energy sector accordingly, why? because japan supplies more than 40% of all energy resources that come to saudi arabia, which represents more than 40% of all energy resources that come directly to japan, primarily oil, so from this point of view, other players are also players, such as saudi arabia, for example, the poor united arab emirates, they begin to intensify their game processes against the backdrop of the weakening of the main players, that is, biden himself, as it were, using the example of the middle east

was for the war a to a to, to boost or to boot saddam back out of to a dead horse to 8 and saudi arabia are kind of our clause i allies at the time too . so that didn't help anybody's case, it was opposing that, but today, the day scotty is, uh, it is exactly what scott just said. we don't really have a mission on the sand in the middle east right now. and those troops should have been pulled out of there. years ago. there should never have been american troops without the approval of congress in syria where they are still to day. then every regime, every, every administration is responsible for not doing the right things that lead to the desk. so those 3 soldiers, now we, it's debatable about the, you know, the us navy task force that with the coalition now trying to protect for most or shipping in the red sea, from the who, the terrorist and iranian backed, of course. but when we even be there at all with our naval fleet, if we didn't still say that we needed to do things like keep vices from recreating itself after the trump administration completely destroyed it or protect those oil

saudi arabia also on standby to help iran.ical issue in many respects. as you noted earlier in your report, even the eu is offering its mapping services. this is the death of someone who is a figurehead perhaps, potentially the death of someone who is a figurehead in the country. this is a kind of universal issue of making sure that all that can be done to save these people if they are able to be saved is done. just returning back to hierarchy within the country. he was saying away from the immediate iranian borders, it is the foreign minister possibly or the loss of a foreign minister, should that be the case, that could have a greater impact on the country itself. i wonder if we could just remind our viewers who ebrahim raisi is and how he came to power? ebrahim raisi is and how he came to rower? , s ebrahim raisi is and how he came to rower? , . ., , ebrahim raisi is and how he came to rower? , . . , . , ebrahim raisi is and how he came to rower? , . ., , ., , ., power? ebrahim raisi was a mid-ranking _ power? ebrahim raisi

and when he said that he came out with the public statement, he's actually signaling to saudi arabia, although the united states has said, you have to choose between this operation and ralph off a major operation and peace with re a. he would say quite the opposite. the road to re, uh, the road to saudi arabia's respect is through rafa because we speak, middle east and middle east means might makes. right? hm. so does that mean that all the pressure coming from, from its allies, as well from the us from france, doesn't make any difference to israel at this point as well. he has said quite explicitly, actually on holocaust memorial day, if we have to we will stand alone and he was referencing world war 2 and he said, you know, there are times when great power stood idly by. and i think there's a little bit of a rib, a little bit of a job to the united states for not standing by or helping the u. k. as much as they could have perhaps during the bullets. i mean, this is all, i'm interpreting his words. you know, it's a kind of with or without you moment for him and yes, it's to save his

the road to re, uh, the road to saudi arabia's respect is through rafa because we speak, middle east and middle east means might makes. right? hm. so does that mean that all the pressure coming from, from its allies, as well from the us from france, doesn't make any difference to israel at this point as well. he has said quite explicitly, actually on holocaust memorial day, if we have to we will stand alone and he was referencing world war 2 and he said, you know, there are times when great power stood idly by and i think a little bit of a rib a little bit of a job to the united states for not standing by or helping the u. k. as much as they could have perhaps during the bullets. i mean, this is all, i'm interpreting his words. you know, it's a kind of with or without you moment for him and yes, it's to save his own political future. but i do think that he really believes that if he can get back, you know, he's almost like a man trying to slow walk up and down escalator. if he can make it to the top that will justify it all. and he keeps saying a little more time, i think the way tha

since january , the united arab emirates, saudi arabia, ethiopia, egypt and iran have been invited to the organization. they decided not to change the euphonious name, so brix remained as bricks for building a new world. its structure is more like a club than a political bloc. no headquarters general secretary of the charter. it does not deal with military issues, but its countries account for almost 50 million square kilometers of land, that is, more than a third of the entire earth's surface. for comparison, the g7, usa, germany, italy, canada, france and japan have half the population, the population of the brix states falls short of 5% of half the world's population. to date , about 30 countries have officially expressed interest in unification. after the official submission of applications, invitations to brix await algeria, bangladesh, bahrain, belarus, bolivia, venezuela, vietnam, cuba, honduras, indonesia, kazakhstan. kuwait, morocco, as well as nigeria, palestine, senegal, thailand and pakistan. after the summit in johannesburg, the russian foreign ministry said: moscow will

now they have centered around 3 points, 1st of all, normalization of us relation to saudi arabia. secondly, normalization of solve the relations with israel. and thirdly, agreement on the steps taken to reach a 2 state solution. now this also plays into the current negotiations because no doubt us was hoping that he would get some kind of agreement from saudi arabia. it could then use as a camera to israel, saying that if you accept a cx 5, then you may get recognition of saw the already there, which is something that israel desperately once, but the whole process is stopped by a simple solid. the insistence that they can be no formal agreement on any of these issues, while the conflict continues in gaza. all right, so i'm, i kind of life as the in washington dc mike frontier. what is, what else? prime minister benjamin netanyahu has reiterated that no amount of international pressure will do to israel from its goals. today, we again confront him is bent on our destruction. i say to the leaders of the world, no amount of pressure. no decision by any international forum will stop a

saudi arabia and oman take second and third places. it was economic news.ian government acts smoothly as the bolshevik government, yes, which separated the church, it is best in these conditions to unite into one orthodox one.

the first case was the normalization of iran's relations with saudi arabia and the uae at a time when the situation was extremely tense. in the theory of looking to the east, ayatollah raisi believed that the development of economic ties in asia is as important as the cooperation with european countries, without a doubt , brics is one of the emerging powers of today's world , iran's membership in the brics and shanghai economic pacts, the cooperation of members in the field of energy, technology and industry the 25-year comprehensive agreement will significantly reduce efforts to sign a similar agreement with the united states in the long term. mr. dr. amir abdullahian. but all these steps towards the future was tied to the steps of amir abdullahian and his efforts in the ministry of foreign affairs. the person who was the field and diplomacy coordinator for mr. raisi. the issue of activating economic diplomacy is on the agenda of the ministry of foreign affairs. mr. raisi introduced economic diplomacy into the common literature of the decision-making apparatus . we said that the 13th

president biden�*s national security adviser is due to hold talks with saudi arabia's crown prince inudi city of dhahran. it's the latest us diplomatic initiative to try to halt the fighting in gaza. previous talks involvign israel and hamas have failed to make a significant breakthrough. in the latest violence, a gaza hospital an israeli air strike targeting a house at a refugee camp in the centre of the palestinian territory killed at least 20 people. benny gantz, a member of the war cabinet has threatened to withdraw his centrist party from the coalition unless prime minister benjamin netanyahu sets out a post—war plan for the gaza strip. in response, benjamin netanyahu said implementing his demands would amount to defeat for israel. first let's hear those comments from benny gantz. translation: something has gone wrong. - essential decisions were not taken. acts of leadership required to ensure victory were not carried out. a small minority has taken over the command bridge of the israeli ship and is leading it towards a wall of rocks. while israeli soldiers are displaying incredi

in saudi arabia, muhammad bin salman has been effectively running saudi arabia so there'd be a greate of continuity with the death of the king, if that was to occur, and m.b.s. has been in direct communications with the u.s. about potential bilateral agreements, the u.s. has floated the idea of saudi participation in some future security force. those kinds of issues are already being addressed with muhammad bin salman as we speak. as far as iran is concerned, i don't see any real change in their foreign policy outlook at the moment. they sense that events favoring them at the moment and their asymmetric way of engaging with the region will continue for the foreseeable future regardless of who is in positions of authority. annabelle: it was just a few weeks ago, april 14, in fact, when we saw what we would have expected as red lines being tested between israel and iran. with this leadership change, i know that continuity is expected. do you expect this idea of a shadow war to continue and potentially more volatility on the front? >> listen, i don't doubt the idea of this, confrontatio

um there was rocco shop, for example, of saudi arabia. but also we can improve the economic ties and political ties with countries to the north, to the south, and to the sense of the box as well. and the crisis and i found the son was well managed at the same time, he also pushed to join the shanghai co operation organization in bricks and the ron's presence and in these organizations will have a huge impact in the future. so he runs influence and the global south has increased dramatically and his trips abroad has shown that so in foreign policy, he's actually brought about a great deal of change with regards to economic policy. we do have, despite the fact that the situation remains there, but we've had 2 years of significant growth in the economy, although things are still difficult for ordinary ryans. but one point that i would like to point out is that actually, when am i in so many passed away. uh, we thought at least people like myself in my youth, we thought there were no people because he was top a towering figure. the revolution
