republic of iran were politically motivated. indeed, individuals making these accusations against iran are themselves accused of escalating conflict. there was another point. those who are accusing the islamic republic are supplying weapons and heavy military equipment to one of the parties in this conflict. there is no evidence to accuse iran of interfering or supplying weapons for the purpose of using them against ukraine. naturally, the supply of weapons and the escalation of a conflict and disagreements, as well as the support of one side to the detriment of the other will not lead to peace. stability or the end of the conflict. saw the most who coin you thought when you crank crisis is a new event and it needs to be viewed from different angles. we think that the ukraine crisis is the result of an erroneous policy of the west regarding ukraine and the problems associated with it. in order to correctly judge the ukraine crisis, despite the fact that the islamic republic has announced that it is fundamentally opposed to an armed conflict, as a means of resolving crises between countries, we must look into the roots of this crisis and its causes. thoughts are news for now, but do stay wit

breaking diplomatic relations with a country that supports the terrorist russia, which is the islamic republic of iran. in kyiv, sitting right on the round university square in the center of kyiv sits a huge iranian embassy there, a huge number of people who can simply direct any, so to speak, any drone and any missile, iranian or not, from the balcony arrived, but it may arrive now, for sure, i think so , they are hinting at pointing to one or another object in the center of kyiv, for example, to the government quarter. it is literally 150 m away. it doesn't seem like that to you, please. well, you know, there is no one sitting there right now. in fact, we have already limited the diplomatic relations between the two countries as much as possible, and in fact the countries are on the verge of severing diplomatic relations, the only thing holding us back is the need to obviously hold the same consultations that were held at one time. well, i think what is the last step? and it is largely connected with the fact that it is largely connected with the fact. -e are already consulting with the united state

ukraine sent him to the islamic republic of iran from the age of 10 to 14. an expert at the center for the study of russia. good health, mr. oleksandr. thank you for finding time on saturday. the first question is important. how you assess the situation with the so-called revolution at least a month ago, and two months ago they said it was a revolution, now there is some kind of more or less silence around it all, how active is civil society there and how high is the activity of the guardians of the islamic revolution who oppose this society and how strong is the regime there, mr. oleksandr, and the turbulence that we are currently observing in eurasia from my point of view well, it more or less regularly accompanies domestic political life in the country , dozens have been on sale for two years now, we see a sufficiently significant protest potential . of course, from the point of view that this protest potential that exists in iran is very difficult to erase it on some ideology that united the society, the only ideology that exists now is the ideology of i

also emphasizing messages that were hostile to the islamic republic of iran. ah, now the pentagon and twitter knew this was happening and they were looking for ways that they would not expose these department of defense accounts as being the boss. and yes, actually misinformation accounts that they were, i have some significant concerns that the motivations for classifications are slightly different than the ones you outlined in the email below. i think it is possible d, o d is using retroactive classification to obfuscate their activity in this space and that this may represent an over classification to avoid embarrassment. at one point, the pentagon was ordered to review clandestine information warfare and it reviewed it. a public policy confirmed back in august of there were concerns about it. and twitter, very conscious and conscientiously began kicking off a state acting a cow accounts. they argued. ready working on behalf of states and spreading this information, they began kicking them off of their social media platform in 2018. so it's important to reme

of the islamic republic is raised to strike at the zionist regime. and it israel that so rest assured that they will not de, used the military option against the interests of iran. at the same time, the islamic republic is prepared to defend its interests in the region. and we'll respond with a strong counter attack against america and the zionist regime. i thought when was the 2nd set of, what did you piece coming on? the reports that yvonne has started construction of a new nuclear power plant in the west of the country as well. how are you planning to use the energy? pity stack? will the facility be open to international inspectors by the air? the sofa is full. he's full use of atomic energy as a globally recognized practice. we are an official member of the international atomic energy agency. several months ago we signed a protocol with the agency regarding inspections. and we did that voluntarily. enrichment of uranium by wrong was authorized under the joint comprehensive plan of action. like all members of the i, e a were entitled to use this peaceful energy to drive our country's progress. the agency is well aware of our work as a few days ago. we even i

but we should remember that this is not something new in the islamic republic of iran. iran has already executed around 500 people during the course of 2022. and since the inception of the islamic regime in 9079, execution has been one of the main instruments of intimidating society and suppressing the position. and there has been dramatic instances, for example, in summer of 1988 over the course of a few months, several 1000 political prisoners were executed. so this was all as expected. but i very much doubt this would actually change much on the in terms of the protests. you as basketball star, brittany greiner has been released from custody and russia. the to time olympic gold medalist was arrested in moscow in february and sentenced to 9 years in prison . on drug charges, she recently had an appeal rejected and was transferred to a remote penal colony, her release and transfer back to the us as part of a high state prisoner exchange that sees the us hand over a notorious russian arms dealer. scenes of joy. the oval office was brittany greiner. she has a phone call with her wife sha

stop, and at this time, i'm sorry, i'm just surprised, there has been an embassy of the islamic republic of iran in the center of kyiv on the street on the university street for several months. one should simply change one's attitude towards diplomatic relations, at least with iran, the islamic republic is worth it, but i am still a military analyst, i will not give an export assessment of the position of our state because it is kept purely as the citizen thinks that it would be appropriate, but you yes, you touched so competently and qualitatively, and for the first time they said that they are not the same and the same, and i will explain why they are in terms of the mass and strategies and in general the globality of the conflict . it actually started it started for me at the first stage what was the worst thing the muscovites did they canceled the yalta system of international relations yes no no and let's ask ourselves a simple question if the four previous systems of the westphalian the vienna versailles and now the yalta were formed at the expense of great warriors, who is interested in l

preparing this for a while, but we should remember that this is not something new in the islamic republic of iran here on has already executed around 500 people during the course of 2022. and since the inception of the islamic regime in 9079, execution has been one of the main instruments of intimidating society and suppressing the position. and there has been dramatic instances, for example, in the summer of 1988 over the course of few months. several 1000 political prisoners were executed, so this was always expected, but i very much doubt this would actually change much on the in terms of the protests, the vice president of germany is parliament has been quoted in german newspapers, calling for security at parliament to be increased stuff the dozens of people were arrested on suspicion of a plot to overthrow german democracy. the target saw suspected supporters of the far right movement that rejects the legitimacy of the german state. the alleged leader of the group is a descendant of ours to cracked family in the german state of to ring, yet police currently searching his home. the long arm o

the islamic republic of iran is a safer place to do it. >> the film is up for oscar contention, babakere's a court case happening right now in iran. do you have any expectations of justice coming out of the? >> no, no way. all of a sudden, out of the blue, they have sent invitation letters to the families yesterday that they are going to hold the court on this thursday, the 15th of december. in the absence of the concrete outcome for affected countries, the islamic republic is moving the narrative forward. we expect this country to come forward and take them to an international forum. at the same time, the islamic republic tries to close the case in a sham trial. we need condemnation from the free world. we need reaction. we know that the families of iran, they won't be silent against this kind of sham trial. >> do you expect iran, babak, to go back to anything like it was three months ago? >> no. i think this is historic, the leadership of the iranian women handy iranian youth is inspiring to the world. i don't think that this is going to fizzle out as some may say. the iranian peopl

. >> interference in the domestic affairs of the islamic republic of iran is illegal and unproductivest: let's discuss these sanctions further. the director of global engagement in president obama's white house, a u.s. diplomat for 12 years. you now run the global situation room. these sanctions targeting iran, they are specific in terms of the individuals, the individuals behind the execution, the individuals behind the targeting of protesters on the streets. what more can you tell us about the sanctions? guest: the first things i would say is they are quite superficial. if we really want to send a significant message to tehran, it's going to have to go far beyond these strong words, statements and sanctions. this, quite frankly, is just going through the motions. there is no notion the head of iran's broadcasting body is going to travel or even has funds in europe or otr western countries. so we are punching at the air and we need to look at what' going to put real pressure on leaders in tehran to change their course. host: given that tehran and iran have been sanctioned before and

and this is the day ah, this is not something new in the islamic republic of iran. you to west thinks will just hand the country over to the protest this on a, on the line of position and anger against islamic republic. i'm designed for a car driving companies in the political system remains lively on active. we need the international community's attention on this and we needed to go far beyond just the same old same old of we're outraged. and also on the day after 10 months behind bars in russia, basketball star, brittany griner, is freed in a prisoner swab moscow, released her in exchange for a notorious arms dealer, known as the merchant of death. she's safe, she's on a plane. she's on her way home from wants to be known justly detained in russia. hel loaner on tolerable circumstances. britney will soon be back in the army of her loved ones and, and she should have been there all along. welcome to the day monson. shikari was 23 years old. he worked in a cafe. he loved music and wanted to live in a free country. to day, he became the 1st known person to be executed

so oleksandr samarskyi, a diplomat , was the ambassador of ukraine to the islamic republic of iran from0 to 14 years old, and iryna koval will tell you about the news for this hour. once again i'm talking about how christmas is celebrated today in kryvyi riivna, wait news time on the espresso tv channel in the studio iryna koval and just now, the most important thing is that the russians are terrorizing kherson with shelling during the day, but the invaders took lives from the daytime attacks at least seven civilians, another 58 people were injured, 18 of them are in a serious condition, not people shelled the city center with hailstorms, they attacked the market, the shopping center , residential buildings, administrative buildings where there were the most civilians, as a result, several fires broke out, more than 60 cars burned in the city, a donor is urgently needed blood, so tomorrow for half a day kherson residents can come to the regional center of the blood service and help the wounded to lie down. it's not like hell. i'm talking in my ears. it's only a little bit gone. i rememb

directly in tehran please, how many ukrainian specialists are currently in the territory of the islamic republic of iranraft builders who are active there, it seems that the an-140 was being built. so correct it now maybe me and the nuclear workers, who after the failure of the musher contract well, according to our information, in an individual order, bypassing ukrainian energoatom went there to work already under individual contracts and with how many people, so when i worked in iran well, for example , if we take the last years, it is 12-13 and at the beginning of the 14th year of our specialists in the bodies, there were several thousands of engineers and equipment in which they worked on the implementation of the program of the aircraft construction of frame projects 140, this is antonov 140th because as you know

federation and its satellite countries, the country's exiles imposed on north korea or the islamic republic of iran or belarus, which and in what way support the actions of the enemy army, well, on the other hand, there is ukraine and the rammstein 50+ project , which is equally interested in the russian occupation army being defeated on the territory of ukraine, destroyed, liquidated, and this will be the basis for the creation of a new geopolitical reality in which peace, tranquility and security will reign. thank you. thank you for your analysis. the use of crimea by russia for the purpose of aggression against ukraine was condemned by the un general assembly. this is stated in the corresponding resolution. 82 countries voted for the document. russia's traditional allies belarus, china, cuba, north korea, eritrea. it is about russia's immediate cancellation of the decision to declare the inter-forest of the crimean tatar people an extremist organization. of the un general assembly on human rights in crimea has been adopted since 2016, the countries of the european union have agreed to the ninth

of russia, and now you see. that's how he cuts down, and that's how it should be. but iran is threatening russia a representative of the ministry of foreign affairs of the islamic republicf iran on serka na ani said that the ukrainian leadership should not call on the international community to attack the facilities where their iranian drones are being assembled. he said this today during a press conference . threatening and irresponsible, and more. he threatened that there could be political and legal consequences for such statements, which the spokesman did not specify, but at the same time concluded that official tehran would not participate in the russian the war in ukraine and that his country is ready to make maximum efforts in order to end this war, here is the truth about what the leadership of his countries was sending, about the leadership of his country sending drones that the russians launch against the objects of ukrainian critical infrastructure, for some reason the spokesman for canon did not say, but we all know very well that the wreckage of these drones , even with the russian names of geraniums, we see on ukrainian soil when they are shot down or when

40 years ago, they wanted to wear hijabs, where everyone but a lot and they spoke for the islamic republic of iranll many are speaking out why only now, well, not only now, they came against individual grafts and 10, 20 and 30 years ago, the news that we saw was protests against the leaders of the leadership role of the guards of the islamic revolution, the leadership role a i tol- a where a i tol and so further and so, like this, this was not the case before, they were specific. how are the russians today opposing the fact that they are not against the war with ukraine, but against the lack of warm clothes, no water, no medicines, rusty weapons? they do not oppose mobilization, they do not advocate peace with in ukraine, they do not oppose this, if they were given food, drink, warm clothes, comfortable transportation, good rifles, or ammunition, they would go shoot ukrainians very easily, and here they understand this pendulum, if we talk about such bulgarians, that's all. this is a very vulgar story . when does it mean, they say, that the step taken so far by the opportunity to be a muslim and h

we are the islamic republic of iran as a country that aspires to independence to confidence over the years. we have been constantly threatened by some major powers, including the united states of america. i think that now a very good opportunity has arisen in which independent sovereign states can interact, cooperate and fight together against the threats that they face together, the world boxing association has restored in the ratings of russian and belarusian boxers, the statement on the official website of the organization refers to the athletes. of these countries are not soldiers or part of the government, so they are no, nothing to do with any ongoing conflict, for the sake of sport, and for the good of their careers, they will be restored in the rankings and will compete for wba titles. recall that earlier the association excluded russian and belarusian boxers from the ratings, and also deprived them of the opportunity to fight in title fights, the exception was the russian, dmitry bivol, who defended the world title in early november, according to the organization, the fight a

this time, i'm sorry for us, i'm just surprised, for several months now the embassy of the islamic republic of iran existed in the center of kyiv on university street, probably engaged in pointing just these drones at energy facilities of ukraine

specialists are currently located in the territory of the islamic republic of iran. this means the aircraft builders who are actively building the an-140 there. it seems that they were building. so now it is possible to correct me and the nuclear engineers who, after the failure of the musher contract, are there, according to our information , passing by the ukrainians in an individual order energoatom went there to work already under individual contracts and for how many people i am asking when i worked in iran well, for example , if we take the last years, it is 12-13 and the beginning of 14 year of our specialists in the bodies, there were several thousand e-e, these are several dozen engineers and technicians who worked on the implementation of the program e-e aircraft construction projects gram 140, this is the antonov 140th because, as you know, e-e ukraine supplied assembling parts for this aircraft and iranian engineers and technicians under supervision with the help of ukrainian specialists assembled planes and helped put them into operation, as far as is kn

we expected them to expel the ambassadors of the islamic republic of iran.sation list, and also see that they do the same thing to the iranian oligarchs in the way they did to the russian oligarchs. we haven't seen these kind of actions yet but we saw that the human rights council in the united nations has started investigations about what happened in iran. can i ask you about flight 752? we are two years on and we're coming up on the anniversary which i know is going to be difficult to you. what information have you been able to get from the regime? and how far along is it a proper investigation? i can't tell you nothing. unfortunately 752 never had a chance to have a proper investigation by iran or other countries. so it's almost three years has passed and the families of the victims have no idea what happened to their loved ones on january eight, 2020. so we hope, we still hope, that the four affected countries, ukraine, canada, uk and sweden will take this case to the international court. so many victims, of course, as well in the country, we are a hundr

it was not me who spoke, i reported on what the deputy minister of foreign affairs of the islamic republic of iran he said that they have military-political cooperation in tehran and moscow, and they are big on this cooperation. in tehran hope is placed but weapons are not given, i wonder if these are drones, then they fall on the territory of ukraine or whose drones are they, which simply wrote geranium in russian, they are shot down and they either fall on ukrainian soil or on it is a great pity that some people hit the objects of the energy infrastructure from a good point in the magadan region, today the mi-8 rotorcraft fell again the day before yesterday, i don't remember whether it was like that or yesterday, but it was in the irkutsk region. and here in the magadan region, again this russian iron bird is not was able to fly to the destination, another point that i also read today is very important for our understanding of the help we receive from the european union, so estonia has become the only country that helps us by more than 1% of its gross of the domestic product. and this is if you

was not me who spoke i reported about what the deputy minister of foreign affairs of the islamic republic of iranhe he said that they have military-political cooperation in tehran and moscow, and they have great hopes for this cooperation in tehran , but they do not give weapons . in russian they wrote geraniums, they shoot down and they either fall on ukrainian soil or, unfortunately, some hit the objects of the energy infrastructure from a good point in the magadan region, today the mi-8 rotorcraft fell again the day before yesterday, was it like that or i don't remember yesterday, but it was in the irkutsk region. and here in the magadan region, again this russian iron bird could not reach its destination. another point that i also read today is very important for our understanding of the help we receive from the european union, namely estonia became the only country that helps us by more than 1% of its gross domestic product. and this. if you compare , if you look at this small country, which is, well, really small, which does not have such a developed industry and how much it gives us and ho

and the other institutions in the islamic republic of iran have not confirmed this either. f power, and for what we know of this regime, it can be very easily denied. we have to wait. but the announcement comes a day after the announcement comes a day after the attorney general said that the parliament and another important institution called the cultural revolution high security council, are jointly looking the issue mandatory hijab. the morality police was tasked with enforcing mandatory hijab. the attorney general has not said mandatory hijab is abolished if this announcement is true and there is to be no more morality police, tnecessarily doesn't mean that the mandatory hijab has been abolished. it can be summed up as too little, too late. the death of... it was an excuse for a discontented mass upset and resentment of everything else thatis and resentment of everything else that is happening in the regime. the foreign policy, poverty, unemployment, inequality, injustice, corruption. all those other things. this was just a catalyst. as far as the protest is concerned, th

it's very important, but it wasn't presented as such, and the other institutions in the islamic republic of iranis, either. so, given this multitude, these different centres of power, from what we know of this regime, it could very easily be denied. we have to wait. but the announcement comes a day after this same person, the attorney general, said that the parliament and another important institution called the cultural revolution high security council, are jointly looking at the issue of mandatory hijab. the morality police was tasked with enforcing mandatory hijab. now, the attorney general hasn't said that mandatory hijab is abolished, if this announcement is true and there is to be no more morality police, it necessarily doesn't mean that mandatory hijab has been disbanded. the response can be summed up as too little too late, even though mandatory hijab and the death of mahsa amini at the hands of morality police was the catalyst for the protests, but it was really an excuse for a discontented mass, upset and resentful of everything else that's also happening in the regime — you know, the
