this trade was our exports to iraq, and in terms of imports, it was very special import from iraq. we don't have it. it can almost be said that a one-way trade relationship is forming between us and iraq, which has always been criticized by experts because , anyway, trade is elementary and it is necessary that the relations between the two countries always have a numerical balance. the latest statistics are almost in 5 months, what was announced it happened that our trade with iraq was 4.5 billion dollars, which is about 13 to 15 percent of the average 50 billion dollars that iraq imports. we provide the same tens of billions that i told you about. one of our competitors , who we used to copy with guests before the program , is from turkey . it is almost two or three percent more than us. it operates there. private sector activists are comparing this a lot. the facilities that are available in neighboring countries to be in a country like arab and the business opportunities that exist there are similar to our country and the support that our government provides. more details. chall

, iraq is an oil industry. there is a transportation industry, it is very vital , there are many of these trucks there are border dwellers around iran who all go to buy trucks and strongly oppose it. when an iranian truck wants to enter iraq, it is a difficult task , but 3 billion dollars were iranian goods. we were able to increase this 3 billion because, well, in the end, it has to be much more. since this year relatively. in the past, when we saw the same statistics, we exported 3 billion 470 million dollars , this year it is 4.5 billion, which is about 29% , the value has increased. last year, 10 million 400 thousand tons of goods were exported. although we had arbaeen. finally, during arbaeen, the traffic and trucks are closed in some marzams . we can't do it at the same time. when we reached four and a half billion in 5 months, that is, in 6 months, we reject 5 billion . usually, our exports are 6 months of the second year because of the first 6 months. this year we have eid holidays, then we have ramadan

the necessity of withdrawing american forces from iraq, therefore, any agreement between iran and iraq will help iraq exit from this situation and the exit of the american forces of mr. al-rabiei, i also have a question about the conditions of the region that is involved in the gaza war, as well as the tensions. in a sense, the closeness of iran and iraq in such a situation is a danger to the common enemy of the two countries. you said somewhere in your speech that the closeness of these two countries and two nations will confuse the interests of some people in the region and in the world. i must say frankly that the genocide and killing in front of the eyes of the world in gaza. the islamic republic of iran is steadfast regarding the palestinian issue and what the islamic republic of iran supports and the countries surrounded by the axis of resistance and the goals of the islamic republic of iran a lot has been achieved and the resistance axis has been able to achieve great achievements even if the military plan and the battle in khar are not transferred outside the palestinian territ

iraq in iran , we are the fourth supplier of iraq's imports, so the weight is what we export from a colander from plastic to construction projects to power plants to roads to urban development, energy issues , whatever you say, i would like to expand the activity in the republic, from food , chemicals, agriculture, etc. to construction projects to from education to tourism to any field that everyone is busy with, if i ask them to know iraq , it is the field of activity in relation to the future. well , iraqis are moving forward with the right policy , they want to settle their country. and they are looking to change from being a mere importer to a producer for their own needs and requirements they can develop their region because they are looking for joint investment, that is, as they themselves say, we should be self-sufficient like you, there is no problem. no, cement, no, so-and-so said that we want to seek self-sufficiency like you, we are doing bad, i said no , good thing, he said, it is true that you should export 10 billion dollars to us, we will export to you, for example, 500 millio

president to different regions of iraq and we saw that today the northern region of iraq hosted the president of the islamic republic of iran, and one of the issues that have caused concern between the two countries is the security issue, the presence of terrorists in the territory of the region. put on the implementation of this agreement. yes, in the name of allah, the most merciful, the most merciful. well , it has been about a year and a half since the signing of the security agreement between the islamic republic of iran and the republic of iraq. well, last year , we were almost on the threshold of the first anniversary of the ultimatum that our country gave to the iraqi authorities, and in fact the kurdistan region has issued a statement on the implementation of the security agreement agreements between iran and iraq, although we have seen that parts of this agreement have been implemented during this period, but unfortunately there is still this capacity for the pending parts of this security agreement. the rest should be implemented. in this sense, i say that this agreement has not be

it is the international of iraq.average, we have participated in 14 to 22 pavilions in iraq , the necessary permits are issued by the trade development organization, and it has been very well received . international expo. more than 220 people from the presence of iraqi businessmen and businessmen in iran, which can be said to be an indicator among all countries, was that very good contracts were signed, and these trade delegations, which are there , make businessmen work with each other and with interest , and this is one of them. another achievement and it can be said that there are works. that the trade development organization applies in this regard, there are various issues, from export incentives to the issue of the guarantee fund, and we recently got involved, fortunately, the guarantee fund has given representatives to commercial centers and the private sector, which work related to the guarantee of goods and also, apply the guarantee of technical and engineering services . another issue that has been request

the truck driver in iraq . it is very vital that many of these trucks are owned by the border residents around iran, who all go to buy a truck and strongly oppose it. when an iranian truck wants to enter iraq , it is a difficult task, but 3 billion dollars were iranian goods, and we were able to finally because this 3 billion should be increased, because after all, it should be much more than this year compared to last year

iraq sovereignty is very important for iran and this trip to iraq's kurdistan region may not indicate that iran wants a autonomous kurdistan region. iran has time and again reiterated iraq sovereignty and work, iran wants to work with whole iraq, not just the iraq's kurdistan region, and this trip to kurdistan region is a significant shift in good relations with uh the kurdistan region. also there is an important thing about kston region muhammad, i'd have to cut you off, i'm sorry, we don't have lot of time, i really want to get mr. muhammad cossum in the conversation, i'm going to come back to you, mr. mohammed cusum, welcome to the conversation sir, out of bayrut, thank you for your uh patience, uh, your thoughts, i like to put the same question to you, the ramifications of close ties between uh, geopolitically, between tehran and baghdad, and we know, mr. cossum that the us has exhausted lot of resource to try to win over the... government in iraq for its own interests in west asia, your initial thoughts please, the main issue of this first visit is that it has many sides, it can

head to iraq to karbala, najaf and basra, iraq's economic capital, and then after basra he will uh have trip to kurdistan, iraq's kurdistan, the iranian president's trip to kurdistan will be the first iranian president's trip to kurdistan. after the victory of the islamic revolution, which signifies its importance, definitely this trip will uh further boost iran's relations with kurdistan's region, especially by the fact that kurdistan's region has announced that it will uh vibe out terrorist groups residing in that. region and they have eliminated those groups, so that's an important step from iran's point of view that will end these groups terrorist activities, the groups that are separatis in terms of iran economic relations with iraq, they have high number and high volume of trade, and apart from these... situation and different junctures has played role as a mediator uh between iran and saudi arabia and nowadays it is said that iraq can have the same role in mending ties between iran and egypt and some countries even some countries, some other countries, so political relations are

cities and linking the large part of southern iraq to europe via the region. this project represents the most important steps to enhance regional cooperation and integration and is in line with iraq's broader goals of rebuilding the economy. ladies and gentlemen, iraq faces serious environmental challenges as a result of climate change and its legislation. challenges that cannot be addressed without enhance cooperation as the lack of vegetation leads to the displacement of millions, thus exacerbating social and political crises. we call for international solidarity to face challenges, and to raise awareness of the importance of the management of sustainable motor resources, which is the central issue for iraq. this challenge requires a commitment to the principles of shared responsibilities among the state as we face existential challenges related to resources, which threaten agriculture and negatively affects the economy and threatens the life of millions of iraqis. the government's top priority to these issues and its neighboring countries to reach sustainab

and the kurdistan of iraq. this situation continued until the federal government in baghdad , considering the responsibility that in the field of border defense , the federal government forces must come to kurdistan , of course, at first there was some resistance in kurdistan , but that is over. well, americans, afghanistan in occupying iraq, you see that the movements of these people increased again, israel's influence in kurdistan again caused support for these people, the islamic republic gave its warnings, and the federal government was against it from the beginning that they should not be, or if they are, they should not be. no anti-security and terrorist actions are being carried out against the people of iran inside iraq. in march, when this agreement was reached between the federal government and the islamic republic of iran, with the presence of the representatives of the kurdistan region of iraq , the implementation of this agreement started from that stage . mughal and their military base in the near

should actually be called the iraq iran war, because iraq attacked iran, and this was an effort to try and divide and conquer the region, and the only way to respond to this kind of shenanigans on the part of the americans is to unite and liberate the region. which is what iran and iraq are trying to do now, so this is an effort to unwind the uh illegal, unauthorized and colonial activities of the anglo american empire, that's the basic intro, what's happening today? interesting, thank you for your initial take there, john, and uh, robert, welcome to the program here, your initial thoughts on the significance of a strong uh relationship between... this is one of the many indicators that united states influence in the middle east is waining uh it's been a couple of years now almost couple of years since uh iran and saudi arabia reestablished ties uh which was not what the united states wanted at all uh now that iran and iraq are strengthening their ties it's another it's it's beneficial going to be beneficial for the middle east as long as the united states does decide to to bomb. eithe

we want a strong and stable iraq . we believe that we can provide stability in the region with unity and integrity. of course, developments. the occupied territories of palestine were also examined during this trip and the two countries had common positions in supporting the people of gaza and condemning the zionist regime. after that, mr. al-badishian went to visit faiq zeidan, the head of the iraqi judicial system, then he visited the embassy of my country in baghdad and met with iranian businessmen and investors active in iraq. seize the opportunity with the presence of the president , we invite the economic activists who are in iraq, and with the presence of the president, we can solve the problems of the export barriers that are bothering our friends and technical service companies in any case during the export process. and engineering investment companies and exporting companies, let's bring it up here , god willing, with the negotiations and talks with senior iraqi officials, we can remove these obstacles, dr. t

some ties, some problems with them, so iraq has had an important. iraq is going to mediate iran's mending ties with some other countries, for example egypt, and if it happens, it's going to be a turning point in the two countries relationship, when it comes to bilateral issues, for example in the area of economy, iran has been... significant trade partner for iraq, the volume of trade between the two countries has been over 14 billion dollars, over the past five months, over five billion dollars has been the volume of trade between iran and iraq, which shows a 20% increase in comparison with that of last year, and in the realm of energy, iran has had an important role in iraq, and when it comes to its support for iraq's provision of energy and electricity, gas, and oil and uh regarding transportation, rail transportation, there are some important projects between the two countries, including barra project, which is approximately 30 km, but has a strategic and is now underway, and if it happen. and it finishes, iran will be connected to iraq through

iraq and modern day turkey, all sharing common borders.irst man-made lake in a let's say in a in a the whole basen has been created in the time of the last years of ottoman empire and after that the... the country of iraq has been created, two other lakes, habania and sar has been created by the governments of iraq in 1948 and 1956. these tree lakes are one of the main sources of dust storm, sometimes there is huge amount of water and good precipitation is okay, but some years when we are we are facing with drought you know these sources the... this these dried lakes will be the sources of dust for the whole region and are threatening the life for the whole region. it's it's it's it's very important issue to be considered that more than dam construction that has been started in let's say in 1970 in turkey uh also other countries have also created some dams in the upper parts of these two lakes that uh from my point of view, these two, these man-made lakes and dams has the main roles of water crisis for the whole. in 1983, after approximate

our serious demands from iraq.spite of the obstacles that i mentioned, the costs becoming more expensive , the trucks returning empty and other issues, why, because i believe that if we solve this problem of truck transit and the interruption of transshipment, our trade balance will definitely balance itself within two years, and the truck loads it will be found for shipping to iran mr. gudarzi, there is another point that iraqis themselves are sometimes not very stable in deciding laws and such like us. i mean, it 's like overnight decisions are not rare for this issue, now you mentioned that we are supposed to have a community agreement and it will be resolved once and for all. these quasi-circulars that we sometimes have ourselves are causing problems for us . they should be resolved. we will be at your service regarding the issues of the circulars that are issued, mainly this circular. it goes back to the goods that are produced inside iraq, that is, according to the season, i would like to thank you for your p

the headlines iran's president masud pezuyan visits iraq on his first foreign trip since taking office. israeli forces kill at least five palestinians in their latest raids in the occupied west bank. also in our headlines, more civilians lose their lives in the israely genocidal war on gaza as the total death tool exceeds 41,000. hello and welcome everybody, it's 2:30 p.m. here in the iranian capital tehrani, watching press tv's world news. our top story for this safari iran's president masud pizishian is in iraq on his first foreign trip since taking office in july. pesishgan held a meeting with his iraqi counterpart abdul lattif rashid in baghdad during which he called for boosting ties between the two neighbors earlier iran's president met with iraqi prime minister muhammad shah al-sudani and exchanged views on bilateral and regional issues. pesishgan had it over letter from iran's leader ali khamenei to alsodani. in the letter the leader extended his appreciation to the iraqi nation and government for successfully hosting the arabin march. um, the iranian president's three-day visi

the from iraq. i guess it's the interests of iraq and iran to to make an exit for the for the americans to ' to go from iraq to leave this this country and to leave the area in order to make stability, because since the americans are there, the instability of the region is there, so it's the most important thing that this this president, this the iranian president and the iraqies, the iraqi government should take some procedures in order to facilitate the way or at least to let these enemies inside iraq to... take out of iraq because they are the reason for this uh this israeli aggression on on gaza and lebanon and also the access of resistance so we have we have a great mission for for the president, i hope will convince the the teams in iraq in order to be rescheduling their political agenda for the new relations with between iraq and iran, the region need... needs this this relationship friendly, brotherly, culturally, religiously and socially and economically, so we are talking about new future.

president made to iraq, mr. doctor . dear mr. khosravi and all the respected viewers whom we are serving, thank you tonight . before i get into these achievements, your excellency , we published an article in cyberspace after the trip to iraq. we mentioned that the public diplomacy of mr. president was amazing, some aspects you may open this amazing story for us , what happened, maybe this is very interesting well, i expected that in the continuation of the discussion about iraq, we will reach this aspect of public diplomacy. travel, but as a first question, it is an interesting question , in my opinion , there are a series of political, economic, cultural and cultural relations between countries , each relationship has different dimensions, but all countries try to create a better image of each other through public diplomacy. create a more favorable atmosphere in relationships so that the rest of the interactions can be done more easily . make a positive impact so that relations in different areas can move much more smoothly. th

you must enter iraq.il saddam was overthrown , we were saying, well, how much power do we want, how many facilities do we want, how much money do we want, you see, the whole discussion was about calculation, are these goals possible or not, they are saying this with the same discussions. war is not beneficial. we must end the war in a dignified way . the political end of the war reaches the military commander. one of the members of the meeting apparently goes to talk to mr. rezaei , who is the commander of the irgc. boden tells them that there is a meeting where the members of the parliament are having a peace plan and how to make peace. with saddam's help, there were whispers that it is good that we don't do military operations anymore, let's go for peace. now in this space where we were. he wrote a letter to imam. they want to follow salhan and mr. hashemi, who had gone to see the imam , had told them that what is this, that i heard so-and-so writing to me, that so-and-so also had news about me, because

iraq immediate.efore reaching iraq. the tigris basin spans 387, square kilometers. with 15% in turkey, 9.5% in iran, minimal 0.3% in syria and a significant 75% in iraq. ultimately, the tigris and euphretes converge at the conclusion of their odyssey, merging into the aravan river. at the iran-iraq border, culminating in their shared destination, the persian gulf, marking the end of their extensive journey. the conclusion of world war i marked the demise of empire that had lasted six centuries. in 1922, the ottoman empire crumbled, giving rise to the birth of new nations such as syria, iraq. and modern day turkey, all sharing common borders. however, nature, indifferent to the political changes operated beyond the constraints of borders. the tigris and euphretes, vital rivers with the history dating back centuries, continued their courses unaffected by geopolitical shifts. they flowed seamlessly across the new boundaries, defying the need for passports. regrettably, in the last two decades, politics

the president, who went to the kurdistan region of iraq on the second day of his trip to iraq , arrived in sulaymaniyah a few minutes ago and was welcomed by the authorities of this city. before sulaymaniyah, mr. bishikian went to erbil this morning and was welcomed by the head of the region, nichervan barzani. mr. barzani also met with masoud barzani, the former head of the kurdistan region of iraq. a joint meeting with senior officials of the iraqi kurdistan region was also one of the other plans of the president during his trip to this region. this is the first visit of an iranian president to the kurdistan region of iraq. the second day of travel to the first destination, arabi. the head of the iraqi kurdistan region came to welcome our president at the airport. this is the first time that the president of iran has visited this region. mr. president , what you said yesterday made many people here very happy . various officials of the region met and consulted with dr. the security agreement that was signed two years ago between the two countries between iraq and iran and part of its

sahar faw and the faw peninsula separated iraq from the sea . separated iraq from its only port. due to the loss of raw materials and the frustrations that these issues caused, iraq launched a counterattack and captured mehran. mehran can be held by someone who has the heights at his disposal, but mehran cannot be held by the iraqi forces. it became clear there that iraq is losing, that is, when we captured faw, perhaps in other areas we had as much as several thousand square kilometers of iraq in different places up and down, very strategic times, iran's military victories are likely to end. he strengthened the war in favor of this country. although the west was not willing to accept such an event, but the conditions. the battlefield forced them and especially the americans to think about interacting with iran, the winner of the war . the americans feel that iran is winning the war and they are on the side of iraq who will lose the war, and they know the nature of the iraqi government. it is with the russians, it is mostly with the soviets , and they think that they are spending

with iraq. i am determined to follow the route of the shalamche-besreh train with strength and precision, so that we can connect this route quickly, god willing. god willing, this unity and cohesion between each other. let's do more, open the paths to each other, economy, science, industry, agriculture, art, literature, faith, all to flourish in our own society. the president emphasized: with unity and brotherhood, two countries can flourish in different fields. emphasizing the unity among the muslims of different countries, mr. bizikian asked a question: if we muslims of all faiths and beliefs fraternize with each other , can israel massacre muslims? we muslims now used to fraternize with each other with any faith and belief . israel can massacre muslims every day with its so-called population . our division is on the edge of fire. mr. al-badishian also appreciated the hospitality of the iraqis arbain hosseini thanked sincerely. in addition to today's meetings, in the past two days, mr. bizikia
