00:29:54.340well to root patriots good morning good afternoon good evening wherever you are
00:30:06.740welcome to day 149 of iran revolution live with your wonderful and amazing host mr armin
00:30:16.360Navabi. And your wonderful and amazing host, Goldi Gamari. Thank you. Armin, what is going
00:30:25.480on today? Oh, my God. Everybody's talking about the Abrahamic Accord, President Trump's
00:30:31.960new post. What are your thoughts on it? So on first glance, let me just pull up what
00:30:41.600I what I wrote on X, because it kind of summarized my thoughts. So my initial reaction to this,
00:30:50.720and I'd love to get your thoughts is that forcing, so let me just pull up my my X post here so I can
00:30:57.160read off of it. Wait, let me share my screen. So the way that I see this is forcing these countries
00:31:11.240to sign the Abraham Accords will further isolate and put pressure on the terrorist Islamic regime0.78
00:31:19.120occupying Iran that is currently in a slow collapse, as well as isolate any Middle East
00:31:26.420country that refuses to sign a peace deal with Israel. Let me just read President Trump's
00:31:33.100statement in its entirety so that people know what we're referring to. So President Trump posted
00:31:40.780earlier today, negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely. Again,
00:31:47.900it's interesting that he's clarifying and saying the Islamic Republic of Iran.
00:31:51.680yeah it will only be a great deal for all or no deal at all back to the battlefront and shooting
00:32:01.720but bigger and stronger than ever before and nobody wants that during my discussions on
00:32:07.860saturday with president muhammad bin salman al-saud of saudi arabia muhammad bin zayed al-nahian of the
00:32:16.440United Arab Emirates, Amir Tammam bin Hamad bin Khalifa, Altani, Prime Minister Mohammed bin
00:32:25.480Abdul Rahman. Sorry, these names are too long. Okay, so basically, during my discussions on
00:32:31.360Saturday with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan,
00:32:40.360and Bahrain, I stated that after all the work done by the United States to try and pull this
00:32:47.800very complex puzzle together, this is a key part guys, it should be mandatory that all of these
00:32:55.440countries at a minimum simultaneously sign on to the Abraham Accords. Those countries discussed
00:33:02.300are Saudi Arabia, the UAE already a member, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain already
00:33:11.240a member. It may be possible that one or two have a reason for not doing so and that will be accepted
00:33:18.020but most should be ready, willing and able to make this settlement with Iran a far more historic
00:33:24.800event than it would otherwise be. The Abraham Accords have proven to be for the countries
00:33:31.020involved, the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and Kazakhstan, a financial, economic, and social
00:33:37.960boom, even during this time of conflict and war, with the current members never even suggesting
00:33:44.860leaving or taking so much as even a pause. The reason for this is that the Abraham Accords have
00:33:51.940been great for them and will be even better for everybody and bring true power, strength,
00:33:57.140and peace to the Middle East for the first time in 5,000 years. It will be a document respected
00:34:02.980like no other that has ever been signed anywhere in the world. Its level of importance and prestige
00:34:08.980will be unparalleled. It should start with the immediate signing by Saudi Arabia and Qatar,
00:34:17.180and everybody else should follow suit. If they don't, they should not be part of this deal in
00:34:24.180that it shows bad intention. In speaking to numerous of the great leaders mentioned above,
00:34:30.440they would be honored as soon as our document is signed to have the Islamic Republic of Iran
00:34:36.880as part of the Abraham Accords. And we're going to dive into this, Armin. We're going to dive
00:34:42.020into this part. To have the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the Abraham Accords. Wow. Now0.94
00:34:48.920that would be something special. This will be the most important deal that any of these great
00:34:56.460but always in conflict countries will ever sign. Nothing in the past or in the future will surpass0.98
00:35:03.900it. Therefore, I am mandatorily requesting that all countries immediately sign the Abraham Accords0.80
00:35:13.200And that, if Iran signs its agreement with me as President of the United States of America, it would be an honor to have them also be part of this unparalleled world coalition.
00:35:28.140The Middle East would be unified, powerful, and economically strong, like perhaps no other area anywhere in the world.
00:35:36.460By copy of this truth, I'm asking my representatives to begin and successfully complete the process of signing these countries into the already historic Abraham Accords.
00:35:49.960Thank you for your attention to this matter.
00:36:04.220By the way, if this ever happens, that is the end of the axis of resistance. It's the end of the Palestinian cause. It's the end of Palestine. It would be Israel's dominance in that area established indefinitely.
00:36:25.700obviously the islamic republic would never sign to this because that would require recognizing0.66
00:36:32.440israel iran would for sure and it wouldn't be the abrahamic accord it would be the cyrus
00:36:38.460accords yeah yes but but that that's the thing armin like a lot of people like a lot of people
00:36:46.180don't know this but one of the core foundational pillars of the islamic regime is its war with
00:36:57.120israel is this um you know this this mandate that they imposed upon themselves to uh you know0.78
00:37:06.580liberate gods or you know whatever right like like the the the fight with israel
00:37:13.960is literally one of the core foundational pillars of the Islamic regime. In fact, when the Islamic0.84
00:37:22.340regime took over in 1979, the first foreign terrorist or dignitary or whatever you want to
00:37:30.100call the guy that they brought to Iran literally one week after was Yasser Arafat. And they have0.92
00:37:38.600been promoting the, you know, Palestinian cause ever since. And the Islamic regime in 1979 created0.98
00:37:46.580Al-Quds Day. Like, just like everything else about, you know, Palestine that's fake,0.97
00:37:53.780even Al-Quds Day is fake. It's like a fake made up jihadi terrorist, you know, celebration that0.88
00:38:02.080was created by the islamic regime occupying iran in 1979 so armin i i don't i don't see how the
00:38:11.460islamic regime will ever agree to this and that puts them in a very difficult position but i'd
00:38:18.620love to hear your thoughts sorry i interrupted so so yeah you're so on point as usual with this
00:38:24.480the islam and the reason why this is so foundational within the islamic republic's
00:38:30.640ideology is because the foundation of the Islamic Republic ideology came from Sayyid Qutb0.62
00:38:37.180through Nawab Safavi to Iran, which means that they have this globalist agenda of taking over0.80
00:38:45.880the world. But the phase two of their plan is to take, phase one was to take Iran, phase two was
00:38:52.880to take the Middle East and North Africa, and Israel is in the way. And phase three of their0.76
00:38:57.740plan is to destroy United States and take over the world and because phase two for the phase two of0.93
00:39:04.540their plan Israel is in the way and this is getting rid of the Israel is part of the DNA0.95
00:39:12.000of the Islamic Republic and this is why we like to remind you everybody all the time that this
00:39:19.480is why the Islamic Republic is revolutionary a lot of people keep saying IRGC but they don't
00:39:26.380remember they don't pay attention to what the i and also what the r stands for the i doesn't stand
00:39:32.660for iran the i stands for islam and the r stands for revolutionary not that many people ask
00:39:39.000themselves why are they revolutionary wouldn't you stop being revolutionary once the regime is
00:39:47.240once you are successful in your revolution you guys this is the question that many people don't
00:39:52.480ask and i ask them have they not considered usually when you do a revolution once you topple
00:39:57.960the government in power and you're now in power you stop being revolutionary and you become
00:40:03.980anti-revolutionary against the people who are trying to do a revolution against you
00:40:07.620but the islamic republic continued to be revolutionary because their revolution was
00:40:12.880never against pahlavi their revolution was against the entire world order and israel is now in the0.64
00:40:19.760way and that's why israel is stopping the revolution and that's why israel has to go this is within the0.82
00:40:26.640dna of the islamic republic and if it ever changes it's not the islamic republic anymore
00:40:33.600and islamic and a government in iran that signs anything like the abrahamic occurs
00:40:39.840is not any longer the islamic republic it's not any longer the islamic republic
00:40:45.200because that's why this would never happen um one thing that i suspect
00:40:52.480is that what president trump is doing right now with bringing the abrahamic occurs and connecting
00:40:58.560this to the you know the the talks at least of a deal with the regime is that president trump is
00:41:07.200basically taking advantage of the desperation of the arab countries around the persian gulf
00:41:15.200to squeeze as much out of them as possible because what I suspect happened is that President Trump was basically signaling both to the Islamic Republic and these Arab countries that they were about to go to war and these Arab countries were not ready.0.67
00:41:36.120even the UAE who's interested in like the Islamic Republic going away what they realize is that the0.73
00:41:43.660Islamic Republic still has access to enough missiles to cause devastation not on Israel they0.87
00:41:49.340can't do that not on the United States because they can't do that but on the UAE and Saudi Arabia0.87
00:41:54.980was panicking potentially because of the Hajj maybe and they came begging President Trump that
00:42:01.440we need more protection before you do this and president trump took advantage of the desperation0.77
00:42:07.600and like well if you want this from me i want something from you and basically cornered is
00:42:13.440corner is trying to corner them into this position making them do something trying to make them do
00:42:19.680something that seemed impossible like saudi arabia signing off to the abrahamic record would be the
00:42:27.680end of the Palestinian cause. If they basically normalize relationship with Israel without making
00:42:34.380the two-state solution a condition, that would be the end of it. There will be no more Palestinian1.00
00:42:39.560cause if these Arab countries sign that. And that's why this seems like a very impossible0.99
00:42:44.860thing for Saudi Arabia to do. But if now President Trump has so much leverage over Saudi Arabia and
00:42:51.560UAE and Qatar saying that, well, I'm going to do my war, whether you want it or not, unless you
00:42:57.660sign this then maybe they will be cornered into a position that they will sign this impossible
00:43:04.060this thing that seemed impossible just a few weeks ago that's what i think is happening might be
00:43:09.220happening yeah i mean that's that's a very good analysis as well and um like i certainly like i
00:43:19.320mean at this point i mean who knows what's going on and i've been monitoring president trump's
00:43:23.840truth social posts. I mean, he even posted this as well, right? So like before this, uh, this
00:43:30.500message, um, he posted, well, he's posted before and after as well. But, um, so before that post,
00:43:39.200he said, I laugh at all the Democrats, rhinos and fools who know nothing about the potential0.99
00:43:44.760deal I am making with Iran. Things that haven't even been negotiated yet, weak and ineffective0.99
00:43:52.140people like failed Senator Tom Tillis, soon out of office, Bill Cassidy, who just suffered a
00:43:58.240massive primary loss, really bad Congressman Thomas Massey, a major sleazebag who lost in
00:44:05.560a landslide to a great American patriot. After showing tremendous disloyalty to his party
00:44:11.120and almost all Democrats, people have totally lost their way, constantly supporting bad policy
00:44:16.640and even worse candidates, but are constantly critical of each and every fantastic win I have.
00:44:22.140These people should go home and rest. They do nothing but create division and loss. In other
00:44:26.360words, they are losers. The deal with Iran will either be a great and meaningful one or there will1.00
00:44:33.640be no deal. It will be the exact opposite of the JCPOA disaster negotiated by the failed
00:44:40.820Obama administration, which was a direct and open path to a nuclear weapon for Iran. No,
00:44:48.040I don't do deals like that. And then he also posted this image of, um, don't forget the one,
00:44:58.440oh, let me share here. Don't forget the one who funded Iran and caused this war to happen,0.86
00:45:04.000Obama. So he's shared that. And then going back here, the, the last one that he shared is this
00:45:12.460meme which is um obama's like let's negotiate and then the terrorists like i will blow things up
00:45:20.220and then biden says let's negotiate and then terror says i will blow things up and then
00:45:25.260president trump says i will blow things up and then the terrorist said let's negotiate um so
00:45:36.140there you go so that that means that that means that president trump is not at all thinking
00:45:42.460about releasing funds to the Islamic Republic or anything that resembles President Obama's JCPOA deal,
00:45:52.320which means that we're still where we were before.
00:45:55.440That means that, you know, many of the panic is not justified, at least not with the information we have right now.
00:46:03.100The MO, like getting even close to signing an MOU does not mean that we have a deal,
00:46:09.960does not mean that we're even close to making a deal.0.96
00:46:13.520The gap between the red lines of the Islamic Republic
00:46:16.040and United States are still as wide as they used to be,0.71
00:46:20.240and nothing has changed on either side.
00:46:23.480And more importantly than anything, the blockade still continues.
00:46:27.700So if people are saying that the regime is buying time,
00:46:59.160And President Trump has said that nothing is changing unless and until a deal is not just signed, but is implemented. Right. And that's the key, because it's one thing to agree to something on a piece of paper, but it's another thing to actually honor the deal.
00:47:21.400And again, I can't see the Islamic regime agreeing to the terms of this deal because agreeing to the, you know, agreeing to the, and again, we don't know what the specific, you know, line by line items of the deal are.
00:47:39.460But what we do know is that there are five core objectives that President Trump wants to achieve, right? Those core objectives have been repeated over and over and over again by President Trump, by his administration, by people in the media.
00:47:52.940You know, and those core objectives, again, are, you know, getting rid of the nuclear program, the United States going in and removing all of the nuclear dust, a severe limitation or complete end of the Islamic regime's missile program, stopping support for their terrorist proxy groups in the Middle East, like Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthis and Hashdashabi and others.
00:48:17.300And finally, a full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. None of those five conditions have been met. And the Islamic regime hasn't agreed to any of those five conditions yet.0.73
00:48:29.360And, you know, Armin, here's the thing. If the Islamic regime were to stop funding its terrorist proxy groups in the Middle East, that's effectively the end of the Islamic regime, because that means that that's one less layer of oppression on the Iranian people.0.55
00:48:49.300Because right now, one of the reasons that the Iranian people can't rise up to overthrow the regime0.70
00:48:56.100is because of these foreign terrorist groups that are in the Islamic regime, in occupied Iran.0.54
00:49:02.640They're being funded and paid by the Islamic regime to suppress the Iranian people.
00:53:56.960there is division that means that the greatest see0.93
00:54:00.600See, this is why Iran Revolution Live has been correct from the beginning.0.56
00:54:05.700We have been saying from day one, from day one, that the greatest weakness of the regime is the internal division.0.81
00:54:17.360And this man, which is now the second most important official of the Islamic Republic, came out for the very first time.
00:54:23.840And he's begging the regime people to stay united.
00:54:29.760Meaning that this division is the most important thing on his mind.
00:54:35.100So much so that he brought him out from the shadows and into the public for him to make this statement.
00:54:40.200This shows that the so-called ceasefire by President Trump has really targeted exactly where the Islamic Republic is the most vulnerable.
00:54:54.680This is their Achilles heel, and the blockade and the ceasefire is hurting the Islamic Republic even more than the military operations, and this is why this man has came out from the shadows, asking for unity.
00:55:09.040You wouldn't be asking for unity if you had unity. You would be coming out and asking for unity only if you have division, and you're trying to fix that.0.53
00:55:23.980So, that's one IRGC update. We also have another IRGC update, which was in response
00:55:32.740to an earlier Al-Hadas report. So, before I go to the IRGC response, let's go see what
00:55:45.960al hadas news reported and then irgc came out and denied it okay so this is according to i'm not
00:55:55.240saying this is true okay but what is true is there's reporting by al hadas we don't know if
00:56:01.720if al hadas is getting this correctly and we also know it's true that irgc came out and denied this
00:56:08.200okay so what did al hadas report this is what they reported they're saying iran is ready to transfer
00:56:13.720It's hardly enriched uranium out of the country, but has made the move conditional on the stockpile being sent to China, China, not the United States, and will also seek guarantees from Beijing before advancing a possible deal with Washington, Al-Hadass reported, citing informed sources.
00:56:34.840So that is a big deal, that claim, right? That is a big claim that the Islamic Republic finally has agreed for the enriched uranium to leave Iran, but to China instead of the United States.
00:56:50.060However, very shortly after, the IRGC Tasnim News, so guys, remember people in this, people in our channel, they know that IRGC's main two media outlets are Farce News and Tasnim News, right?
00:57:06.900So IRGC outlet denies Iran ready to transfer nuclear material abroad.
00:57:14.360So let's read this, saying, Iran has made no commitment.
00:57:18.360This is according to Tasnim News, which is IRGC, right?
00:57:23.160They're saying Iran has made no commitment in the current draft memorandum with the United States
00:57:29.080to transfer nuclear material out of the country or take any nuclear-related action.
00:57:34.260The IRGC-affiliated Tasneem News reported denying a report by Al-Hadass.
00:57:41.540Tasneem said the Al-Hadass report on the details of negotiations was false
00:57:47.660and part of what it called a U.S. psychological operation.
00:57:53.300They're saying there is no sentence in the text of the memorandum
00:57:58.680that exists so far indicating readiness to transfer nuclear material abroad.
00:58:05.600By the way, guys, we shouldn't, even if this becomes a thing,
00:58:09.020obviously we should not trust this at all.0.92
00:58:11.720China getting the enriched uranium means that the Islamic Republic could get it back.0.92
01:05:52.500I mean, it depends on the context, right?
01:05:54.220Like people who, let's say, go to a hockey game, let's say Canada versus U.S. hockey game, and the Canadians are waving the Canada flag and Americans are waving the American flag.
01:06:03.460that's not a political statement they're they're waving the canadian flag because they're supporting
01:06:08.740the canadian team right same thing with the americans americans are waving the american
01:06:13.240flag because they support the american team it's not a political statement in that sense so it's
01:06:18.940not political in that sense um and in this case yeah sorry no the reason why i started a political
01:06:26.540identity is because the hockey fan like the hockey team holding a canadian flag that is their
01:06:31.680identity as canadians which is basically a political identity but again it's not a political
01:06:36.320statement that's something a little different a political statement would be like if someone
01:06:40.720um takes like a pride flag to a hockey game that's a political statement
01:06:46.480okay okay well you're the former politician so i will submit to your understanding right i mean i
01:06:53.040could i could be wrong but that's how i see it right like it all depends on the context
01:06:57.680it depends on the context for sure right um speaking of flags i look at this amazing person
01:07:08.320here hold on look at this like guys even if you're one person even if you're one person
01:07:27.680in wind and rain you know you could just look at this like isn't that a powerful statement i don't
01:07:35.720know i i this video just inspired me like i just that's why there's no this there's no news attached
01:07:42.640to this but i just wanted to thank i know i know when this was so this was on saturday during the
01:07:48.320um iran rally in toronto um that's right uh right across from mel lastman square so this is close to
01:07:57.240intersection of um young and shepherd just north of young and shepherd and uh that's when um
01:08:04.760iranians were gathering to do like a human chain on young street to raise awareness about iran so
01:08:10.120this person is probably in the middle of the of the lane and then everyone from the sides is
01:08:13.720chanting kings because that's saturday was the day of like a really bad storm in toronto
01:08:19.000but they still showed up yeah people still showed up yeah um okay we go to back to the
01:08:30.200islamic republic okay um let's see what back battle is saying so the spokesperson for the
01:08:38.740foreign ministry of the islamic republic ismail bagai the should i play the video i could just
01:08:45.840read the caption i don't need to read the video should i play the video translate the video up to
01:08:50.240you i mean people people do like your translations but it's up to you okay okay okay okay let's it's
01:08:55.680only um under two minutes so let's translate it so they're making so this is uh the spokesperson
01:09:02.160of the foreign minister of the islamic republic talking about you know that all this news about
01:09:06.640a deal it's good to see what the most recent position is
01:09:15.840so he's saying all of these things that you're now hearing in the news
01:09:24.800they're the result of multiple weeks of you know talking behind the scenes
01:21:02.720So the Islamic Republic executed Abbas Aqbari Faizabadi, a detainee arrested during January protests in Isfahan province after the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence, the judiciary said on Monday.
01:21:22.060So, guys, as we're speaking, this is still happening.
01:21:26.480As we're speaking, this is still happening.
01:24:53.340Because the Iranian system doesn't move as fast as the United States would like.
01:24:57.260The official added that the current plan is to formally end the war and open the Strait of Hormuz without tolls before eventually dealing with all enriched nuclear material in Iran and not permitting further enrichment.
01:25:08.960Now, Iran will receive billions of dollars worth of assets unfrozen, along with oil sanctions waivers.
01:25:14.020U.S. officials say that will only take place if they uphold their end of the bargain.
01:25:19.060Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this today about the negotiations.
01:29:04.700So he said that any indication that this is anything like Obama's deal, he said that's not true because they're going to get.
01:29:13.440Guys, I'm so glad that everybody is doing comparisons to Obama.
01:29:17.740That means that we're not going to get anything like Obama deal.
01:29:21.460OK, because if we're supposed to be different from the Obama deal, that means that the Islamic Republic would collapse from any deal that is not like the Obama deal is a surrender deal.
01:29:33.220So this constant insistence of not doing anything like the Obama deal is really good for us.0.64
01:29:39.820The dust if he's going to sign on the dotted line, what are you learning?
01:29:44.860Yeah, absolutely. Administration officials are using this line. No dust, no dollars.
01:29:49.780And it's an indication President Trump is going to get that highly enriched uranium out of Iran,0.84
01:29:55.300or the Iranians aren't going to receive any sort of sanctions relief.
01:29:58.340It's a very clear equation here, Lawrence.
01:30:00.300And when we look at the situation for the Iranians, they have to not only commit to not getting a nuclear weapon,0.63
01:30:05.960but they also have to let excavators go in eventually and dig up that highly enriched uranium
01:30:11.140that was buried in the aftermath of Operation Midnight Hammer last summer,
01:35:30.920very good way of looking at it for sure it's interesting because they hate the irgc would
01:35:36.900hate that being uh being seen like that they like to think of themselves as equal to russia and
01:35:43.240china which they're not um and they like to think of themselves as allies of china and russia and
01:35:50.080they're not allies i mean i mean china and russia doesn't see them as an ally they see the irgc as
01:35:55.600a tool uh as useful idiots and leo just gifted one membership to a person on the chat on liberty0.80
01:36:06.800politics youtube channel thank you so much leo one person is now a member in our chat because of leo0.98
01:36:13.040thank you for the gift leo and then nilbani nilbani is saying thank you nilbani for the super chat
01:36:19.600it's saying translation of trump of truth post of president trump's truth post
01:36:24.480all the other countries in the region are civilized your civil your civilized right
01:36:32.480islamic regime oh no thought so trolling them okay okay yes yes i like that okay like hey if0.84
01:36:41.920you want to be like the rest of us you could do this civilized thing of being normalizing1.00
01:36:47.200your relationship with the rest of us you're not going to do that actually that's a very good point
01:36:52.080okay because we're thinking that's a very good point because we're thinking why would president
01:36:56.880trump say that why would president trump say for the islamic republic to join the abrahamic accord
01:37:03.760everybody knows the islamic republic is not going to normalize relationship with israel0.93
01:37:08.320well the point is to demonstrate that you know everybody could act civilized except the islamic0.60
01:37:14.800republic that's a very okay i see i see that in you know that framing okay interesting all right
01:37:22.400and then we have agent anderson agent anderson love that username love that username saying
01:37:31.120we've had peace with egypt for half a for half a century their textbooks and tv still teach kids to0.58
01:37:38.720hit to hate israel and jews not peace in any real sense yeah you have peace with the regime0.68
01:37:48.000but not with the people in fact egypt is one of the worst places when it comes to0.93
01:37:54.320the views of the population there it's like really bad one of the unfortunately like it's
01:38:01.120really hard unless you're talking to uh you know the christian community there the vat like so many
01:38:08.160bad takes in you know egypt is like i think like the worst one of the worst countries is pakistan
01:38:14.240when it comes to the population having the worst uh ideas egypt is probably the second runner-up
01:38:23.440which is interesting that egypt's government um is you know has peace with israel even though0.98
01:38:30.720their ruling over population that has some of the most bad ideas and garbage viewpoints and0.99
01:38:39.040anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish, very anti-Jewish. I was watching Tal Oren and every time he gets to0.99
01:38:45.600an Egyptian, it's almost guaranteed that he's going to take the most disgusting wild takes.1.00
01:38:53.040Thank you, AJ. Armin, just a question for you. So based on that,1.00
01:38:57.360um so you know what's interesting in president trump's truth social post he said that you know
01:39:04.480he wants all countries to immediately sign but then he says it may be possible that one or two
01:39:11.160have a reason for not doing so and that will be accepted but most should be ready willing and able
01:39:17.680and then he specifically calls out saudi arabia and qatar as um you know two countries that should
01:39:27.280immediately sign the abraham accords so that basically leaves so if we're looking at the
01:39:34.000countries here so uh assuming that saudi arabia and qatar are you know going to sign we'll see
01:39:40.480um the uae is already a member and bahrain is already a member that pretty much leaves pakistan
01:39:47.720turkey egypt and jordan of the possible countries that may or may not sign right because in his
01:39:59.500post like he says it should start with the immediate signing by saudi arabia and qatar
01:40:04.840so saudi saudi arabia and qatar are out of the picture which leaves pakistan turkey egypt and
01:40:11.840jordan um that you know one or two which you know might not want to sign the abraham accords um
01:40:22.400honestly i can't see any of the countries signing the abraham accords like i don't know i don't know
01:40:27.600it's it's uh he's put them in a very awkward uh position i think so i think pakistan will have
01:40:37.200the most difficulty um because they have less control over their population than egypt has over
01:40:44.480their population so in all of these countries if they become part of the abrahamic accord
01:40:49.600the population would be very angry with the government okay but pakistan is terrified of
01:40:57.280its own population it's like a failed state kind of situation yeah so pakistan we're like yeah
01:41:03.600we're going to die. We're going to die. So I think they might be out. Yeah, I don't know.0.88
01:41:11.700Well, Turkey is Muslim Brotherhood, right? Because Erdogan is part of the Muslim Brotherhood. So I0.95
01:41:17.160can't see Turkey signing this. Egypt is de facto controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood. And then0.70
01:41:24.320Jordan, well, you know, Jordan, given the situation there, I can't see. I mean, I don't know.
01:41:30.660is the most likely among that four you think you agree like i'm yeah because they are the most they
01:41:35.780have already cooperated militarily with israelis behind the scenes right and jordan's government
01:41:41.460is just so behind this yes jordan has a problem like they have a big problem with a lot of the
01:41:47.060ballestinian radicals yes for sure but i'm i'm only comparing it to in comparison yeah that's right
01:41:55.380to the to the other three like i'm not i'm not saying they're likely to do that i'm just saying
01:41:59.940in comparison to the other three they are they are daily they are maybe more likely
01:42:07.460right yeah well i mean yeah i don't see like i'm not i'm not i'm not speaking about the
01:42:13.220government of jordan i'm speaking about um the challenges that jordan would have because
01:42:19.700there's a lot of you know the radical palestinians and you know all those like radical elements of
01:42:24.420like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad and whatever that are ingrained into Jordanian society.
01:42:32.340Yeah. If we had democracy in Jordan today, the first thing that would happen is that they would0.99
01:42:37.140behead the royal family. So for being Zionist, actually. Yeah. So you're right about that.0.97
01:42:46.500okay okay and then we have uh valerie valerie just did i read the previous one yes i did valerie
01:43:00.740just became a member thank you so much valerie for being a member welcome to our community
01:43:05.700and then we have sharon sharon with a super chat thank you so much saying texas grandmother 74 oh
01:43:14.820I was 27 when IRGC took power, they destroyed my generation of women, toppled this evil regime now, I am out of patience.
01:43:28.120Thank you. We agree with you. Topple the regime now. We're all sort of out of patience.
01:43:33.720So hopefully we're getting to the end, and I think we are.
01:43:38.340I think we are because this sort of this curveball that President Trump threw out with the Abraham Accords, I think that's going to shift a lot of things.
01:43:49.400Yes. Yes. But I, you know, as Goldie said, we completely understand why it's really hard. It's been 47 years. I mean, yeah.
01:43:57.540um roman viking oh yes roman viking saying could the could the post cause further division between
01:44:06.780paedaris and pragmatists yes yes i mean pragmatists quote unquote right and pragmatists because the
01:44:15.520recognition of the zionist entity becomes part of the negotiation it would terrify them it would
01:44:23.040terrify them it would make yes because from the paidari camp which is what we call the um you know0.52
01:44:31.180the ideological pressure camp right or the jalili camp okay they already make accusations on of
01:44:40.840islamic regime officials being zionist or zionist spies right so you're so correct because president
01:44:47.680Trump's post is going to make them think like, what would give President Trump the idea that0.94
01:44:54.000the Islamic Republic would ever sign the Abrahamic Accord and be friends with Israel? What would give
01:45:00.080him that idea other than the fact from their perspective that some regime officials are
01:45:06.560Zionist infiltrators? So yes, we're going to make them try to go on a manhunt more than they even
01:45:12.080are right now very good very good um analysis there um and then we have another super chat by
01:45:22.080fleshy interloper say dirud everyone remember to breathe
01:45:31.600okay good good yes good recommendation and thank you for the super chat
01:45:36.640and then we have speeds speeds board zapping that zapping thank you for the super chat saying
01:45:46.160perhaps the call for cohesion is not just a call for unity to repair fractionism but also a call
01:45:55.840for more external forces to suppress the people more external forces you mean like the you mean
01:46:03.440like the militias like hashish shabby zainab you know fought to me from outside like the
01:46:08.080um from outside of the borders of iran the thing is that those people don't need a message of0.98
01:46:15.500cohesion and they just need to get paid right they don't this is the problem that the islamic
01:46:22.760republic has with its iranian supporters compares to the iraqi shia militias or the pakistani shia
01:46:32.400militias or the Afghanistani Shia militias is that they are not as involved in the regime's
01:46:40.860internal politics. They're like, you're Shia, you're Relayat Faqih type of 12 Shia. That's
01:46:50.780good enough for us. Give us USDs, give us US dollars and point to where we need to shoot0.74
01:46:58.020that. Who do we kill? Where's our U.S. dollars? You're Shia. That's good enough for us, okay?0.99
01:47:04.080They don't get into all of these nuanced, detailed discussions regarding Rouhani and
01:47:09.820Pazishkian as like, we're just loyal to the Islamic Republic, okay? Give us money, we'll
01:47:15.300shoot at whoever you want. The division is more, this is why the Islamic Republic is trying not1.00
01:47:21.320Not to just replace us anti-regime Iranians, they're actually also interested in replacing0.69
01:47:28.640the pro-regime Iranians with these foreigners from Africa, from Pakistan, from Afghanistan,
01:47:36.340from Iraq, because they prefer these foreigners even to their own supporters inside Iran.
01:59:51.480and jonathan thank you so much for the super chat saying maybe the main way to
01:59:57.880Armin, I'm sorry, hold off on that post for a second, because can you bring up the Bill's
02:00:14.600post about his internet being restored in Iran? Oh, oh, you unstarted. Okay, nevermind.
02:00:21.560OK, that's fine. So look at this. So Iran International just posted an hour ago, Iran's president, Pizishkian, has ordered the Ministry of Communications to restore international Internet access to its pre-January status, the ministry's public relations chief said, according to Iranian state media.
02:00:44.940the irgc affiliated farce news earlier questioned the administration's authority to issue such an
02:00:53.060order arguing that the decision to restrict internet access was made by the supreme national
02:00:58.900security council and must therefore be reversed by the same body what do you make of that so
02:01:06.180So Pazishkian has no authority to change the internet.0.86
02:01:13.200So I see people, guys, when you say, I see people saying,1.00
02:02:24.960but whatever that whatever is happening it's not up to position either somebody else has decided
02:02:31.200to bring the internet back and they're just giving it to position so that he gets the blame for it
02:02:36.160or position is virtue signaling and saying i tried it wasn't my fault they didn't let me
02:02:41.940yeah i mean so i i agree with you he has no authority right that so i wrote the president0.91
02:02:48.320because i just posted this the president of the islamic regime is a puppet and has zero control
02:02:52.720influence over the system or the decision to cut off internet access in occupied Iran.
02:02:58.740This is probably a desperate ploy by Pizishkian to appear reasonable to the outside world.0.62
02:03:04.400Let's see how it plays out. Armin, I mean, the only way that I could, like, the Islamic regime1.00
02:03:11.380has been literally executing Iranians for having access to Starlink, okay? Like, they've executed0.55
02:03:17.440Iranians in the last, you know, 86, 87 days, because they had Starlink, and they were accessing
02:03:25.320the outside world using Starlink. I cannot see them reopening the internet unless they have found0.99
02:03:32.820some way, you know, some way using Chinese technology to further monitor Iranians, right?0.99
02:03:39.840Like, they're not going to open up internet access, unless they've, you know, found a new0.97
02:03:46.060technology that Iranians still are not able to filter through in order to monitor everything,1.00
02:03:53.000right? Because we know what's going to happen as soon as the internet is open. Iranians are going1.00
02:03:56.500to start using VPNs again to come back on X and post, you know, everything that's happening and
02:04:02.240post on social media and all these other places as well. So I don't know. But it's crazy that
02:04:08.140position is is uh saying this and i agree with your analysis this he's either virtue signaling
02:04:15.820to the outside world to try and maybe appear more reasonable um or um he's being put up to this
02:04:23.240so that he can take the the blame or something instead of the irgc because he has no authority
02:04:28.100over any of this he's a puppet right and and goldie as you mentioned before yourself that
02:04:34.800And other than the censorship element, a major part of this internet shutdown is the money-making element by IRGC as well, because Murad Veysi's assessment was that his guess was that internet will never be restored again to his formal status unless Islamic Republic falls,
02:04:58.680Because too many people within the government are now making a lot of money by turning the internet business into a mafia, making it illegal, but then selling it themselves at much, much higher prices.
02:05:14.960and too many people within the regime are now making so much money
02:05:20.300from limiting the internet and selling it at a much higher price
02:05:24.600and that because it has turned into a mafia-type industry,
02:05:29.200the financial interest makes it very unlikely for it to go back to how it used to be.
02:05:35.100That's what Murad Vesey's assessment was.
02:05:37.300Yeah, I mean, that's definitely a good assessment as well.
02:05:39.980So, wow, let's see how this plays out.
02:05:42.340yeah because there's there's a few different possibilities here we don't we don't know what's
02:05:47.700going on um but these are you know every single one of these is a good analysis good possibility
02:05:53.140it's just a matter of seeing like which one uh which one it is and which one actually pans out
02:05:58.340but uh no that's that's very very well thought out arvin thank you oh thank you okay okay
02:06:08.020so the reason why i unstarr them is because so i could keep track of where we were
02:06:12.180all good all good no worries okay okay all right jonathan saying maybe the main way to
02:06:28.660yeah in uh intern international alignment uh interim government power i mean the first few
02:06:35.460steps is exactly how uh what yet we know about the first few steps for sure so economic shock then
02:06:43.460uprising then um yeah internal networks yeah for sure that's internal networks is basically the
02:06:52.500garbage are we done right international alignment i don't know how much of an alignment we could get
02:06:58.740beyond the United States and Israel. I don't see them. I think those are just the main two0.93
02:07:05.540countries that we would have any alignment with on this. And then interim government power. The
02:07:10.980only thing that I wish we could add to that was arming the Iranian people. That's what I wish I1.00
02:07:17.220could add to that. And also obviously more kinetic military operations by United States and Israel
02:07:23.620would help during the uprising to the uprising phase if you add united states and israel uh
02:07:29.380kinetic military operations so that they could protect especially with drones to protect the
02:07:35.140iranian people during the uprising that would be um that would help that would help stop a massacre
02:07:44.260like we saw in early january and thank you jonathan thank you so much for the super chat
02:07:49.220and wow goldie look at this thank you so much dp so dp writes hey goldie you and armin should
02:07:58.580collaborate on a podcast or something similar with nick shirley his platform is quite substantial
02:08:06.180and this could potentially raise awareness about the truth about iran and its people
02:08:13.540thank you so much for the suggestion um i'll definitely look into that i'm not too familiar
02:08:18.420with nick shirley i know he's done like a number of of uh videos or something um but let me make
02:08:24.260a note of that dp and i'm more than happy to to look into that um and yeah that could definitely
02:08:31.060be uh something a possibility for the future so um let me just put it look into nick shirley
02:08:39.860if the platform is very big there probably would only be it would be more likely if if we just say
02:08:45.940goldie like it doesn't have to be me and goldie because big usually big platforms like that would0.95
02:08:51.300be interested in somebody as big as goldie so if we just focus on goldie that would be more likely
02:08:56.820to succeed than saying maybe maybe he'd be willing to to come to you know our show or something um
02:09:05.140oh yeah yeah who knows but uh thank you so much thank you for the suggestion and for the super
02:09:10.020chat very kind of you yeah and thank you yes and then we have the next super chat by nail bunny
02:09:21.860thank you so much nobody saying islamic republic try to pretend they are they're normal trump
02:09:28.900throws it in their face by offering they might join all the other countries in the region in the
02:09:36.100Yeah, that's an interesting strategy. That could be what President Trump is doing. And I know exactly if that is a strategy, the Islamic Republic perspective, from their perspective, they're going to come be like, well, if you think normal is to be an ally of a genocidal apartheid Zionist regime, then you guys go be normal.
02:13:48.680And since the, yeah, in modern, in recent history, let me go, because I remember Vietnam. I didn't want to, I thought like ever since World War II, but then we have Vietnam. Yes. Okay. So it's in recent history. All right. In the past 50 years, I would say.0.79
02:21:27.860but anyway i really do appreciate your concern for the iranian people like that that's thank1.00
02:21:32.180you genuinely appreciate that yeah thank you yeah uh clown world is saying you guys should try to1.00
02:21:40.500get benny johnson's on benny johnson's show he has a big audience and is quite connected in washington
02:21:48.020again if it's a big audience then that's mostly goldie would have a better chance to get on those
02:21:52.980shows um so yeah goldie that's a good suggestion okay i'll definitely look into that thank you
02:21:59.140yeah guys they won't have me on these shows if because when my channel is not that big as goldie's
02:22:05.060right and but thank you for the suggestion so uh dem demagio demagio saying who are the bazaris
02:22:19.940what is their role the bazaris are like business people the private sector like retail and the
02:22:26.500you know when the commerce and they're the this is an important segment of society in iran
02:22:33.540because historically many of the uprisings you know even before the uh the current islamic republic
02:22:42.900they were they were the reasons they started the spark that caused the islamic revolution
02:22:48.260in 1979 they were well they were a huge part of it they were actually a huge force that basically
02:22:53.780toppled the shah toppled the palavi dynasty but that was their father of the the fathers and the
02:22:59.300grandfathers of the current buzzers it's basically the commerce sector the private commerce sector
02:23:04.500within society um and even though that sec that segment of society was responsible
02:23:10.500hugely responsible for bringing the islamic republic because of the irgc and the uh the
02:23:17.060the war of the IRGC against the private sector, making most industries part of the government,
02:23:23.780the private sector has been shrunk and shrunk and shrunk to the point where it's really hard for1.00
02:23:28.900these Ba'azaris to survive. So now the children, the new generations of the Ba'azaris in Iran,1.00
02:23:35.780are against the regime, which is a huge turning point in Iran's history,0.99
02:23:41.860given their original role in bringing the Islamic Republic to power.
02:23:46.420So a lot of people pay attention to Bazaris and what they do
02:23:50.860because of the historical precedent of being such an influential force
02:23:55.540when it comes to being an important part of the revolution.
02:24:00.940And this year, this January, December 2025 and January 2026,
02:24:07.480it brought all of that importance back into attention0.95
02:24:11.520because the spark of the Iran's Lion and Sun revolution started with the Bazaris coming into the streets.0.93
02:24:19.480With the merchants. Yeah. So it all it started with the with the national sort of with like a strike in Tehran.0.86
02:24:25.580And that was due to the collapse of the real, which reached like a historic low.
02:24:31.120And then the you know, it's not a merchant's guild. It's just the private sector.
02:24:36.020So people started shutting down their stores and striking. And then word spread like wildfire. And then literally within hours, the merchants in various sectors and industries, not just in the capital city of Tehran, but in various other cities, I think like Isfahan and Mashhad and, you know, Qadraj and some others, they also started the strike and shut down.
02:24:58.960And then, you know, initially the chants were about, you know, the economy and things like that.
02:25:04.220However, within less than 24 hours, the chants went from, you know, being about the economy to being about overthrowing the Islamic regime and wanting the Shah to return back to Iran.0.95
