Markets Unmoved by US Claims on the Strait of Hormuz / US Turn to Russia for Oil Supplies Is Telling / We Are Ready to Help Resolve the Yemen Crisis

The Foreign Ministry spokesperson, at his weekly briefing for foreign policy reporters, addressed the latest developments in the country's foreign policy.

According to Ambassador Arjan, Ismail Baqaei, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the beginning of the press conference on Monday, October 20, while condoling the martyrdom of the cultural deputy of the police force of Sistan and Baluchistan province, said: He was one of the native forces of the region who were martyred during the terrorist attack. He had a doctorate in IT and was one of the honors of Iranian women. The reason that I mention the martyrs in the meetings is to honor the security and authority of Iran, which is the result of the sacrifices of the martyrs.

According to ambassador Arjan; The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs further added: The reason why we bless and decorate our meetings with the names and images of martyrs in the weekly meetings is to remember that every moment we are present here and benefit from the blessing of security, there are those who defend the security and authority of Iran with their lives, the sweetest asset that God has given to mankind. We send greetings to the souls of all the martyrs of Iran and the land of Iran.

Hafez's poetry is a part of our Iranian-Islamic culture and civilization

Baghai continued: Today is also Hafez's commemoration day. For us Iranians, Hafez has a different position, along with other writers and poets; Because it is a part of our Iranian-Islamic culture and civilization. I congratulate all Iranians and lovers of Iranian culture, politeness and decency on this day. If you agree, we can open Divan Hafez. I read the first two verses: whoever keeps the side of God's people/may God protect him from calamity in all situations/do not tell the hadith of a friend except to Hazrat Dost/who is familiar with the word.

The markets do not pay attention to the American claims about the Strait of Hormuz

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the question that "the President of the United States constantly claims in his various statements that the Strait of Hormuz has returned to the normal process of energy transfer. Various analyzes of the transfer of oil from different countries from the north and south of the Strait of Hormuz have been published, and it is claimed that Iran has lost its leverage in this region. He said: "That one asked Ashtar, where do you come from, you auspicious one?" / He said from your hot bath/ He said that it is from your knee" American claims do not match what we see in the field of reality. They can still claim that the Strait of Hormuz is no longer effective and that Iran has lost its leverage, but we are doing our job.

Baqaei noted: I don't think the markets will pay much attention to such claims; The market has its own rules and regulations. The international developments and the appeal of other countries to provide the fuel they need are also well indicative of the reality. However, I must clarify that the developments in the Strait of Hormuz did not take place with the aim of leveraging. What we have witnessed in this waterway since March 9th was the direct result of the actions of the US and the Zionist regime in attacking Iran. This waterway, which Iran has the longest coastline in its vicinity, has been misused to attack our country. In such circumstances, we have adopted a series of measures based on the provisions and standards of international law.

He added: As long as America insists on making this waterway and the region insecure through naval blockade and economic war - actions that it is proud of and all of which are examples of military aggression against a country - security will not return to this waterway. We are not happy about this situation; Because the security of the Strait of Hormuz is most important for us. But America's aggressive actions have caused trouble for the region, for this country itself, for the region, and for the world. This fact should be continuously exposed to the eyes of the world in order to determine which side is the real cause and founder of the existing situation.

Rubio's narrative of history is part of the cognitive war against Iran

In response to a question about the recent statements of the US Secretary of State in Athens and his reference to the history of Greece and Western civilization and the interpretation of the wars between Iran and Greece in ancient times, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: This speech and the choice of this arrangement by the US Secretary of State should be considered part of America's cognitive war against Iran and, in a way, against the world. Presenting a completely crooked and upside down interpretation of historical events to justify America's belligerence is both dangerous and an insult to Greek culture and civilization.

He continued: Of course, the US foreign minister admitted some facts unintentionally; Including the fact that Iran has continued for thousands of years not as a piece of land or just a geography, but as a character, a concept and an idea. The continuity of a civilization and culture cannot be the result of geographical and military conquests. The secret of Iran's permanence and continuity is nothing but its interactivity. If you look at Pasargad, you will see the signs of all the cultures and civilizations that were known as rivals of Iran at that time.

The clash between Iranian civilization and the West is to legitimize war and aggression

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in response to the claims of the US Foreign Minister: Iranians have always been competitive, but they have combined competition with interaction. We have never sought our authority and life in the negation of others and we have even interacted with our competitors. The West would not exist today in terms of meaning and thought, if Iranian and Muslim thinkers were not translators and interpreters of Greek ideas in the dark ages of the Middle Ages.

He continued: Basically, what is the relationship between America and Greece today? Greek was not only about war and warfare, but also had philosophy and culture at the same time. Iranian civilization has always been established and continued by connecting and building. Hafez is also one of Iran's civilizational honors. From here, I request Mr. Rubio's advisors to present him a volume of Hafez's Divan, which is also translated into Cuban Spanish, so that he can get acquainted with the delicacy of Iranian civilization and culture. We hope that after that, we will not see such words repeated by him.

Baqa'i pointed out that in the period when the world is facing American militancy, talking about ideological and civilizational dichotomies is a pure mistake, adding: if you want to express ideas based on the clash of civilizations in a different way, and if at that time there was talk of the clash of Islamic and Western civilizations, today you replace it with the clash of Iranian and Western civilizations, there is definitely no good intention in it, except to legitimize war and aggression. America cannot present itself as a representative of Western and Greek civilization. I will end my answer with this question: Were the two world wars that took place between Europeans and engulfed the world in its mouth, caused by the fight and confrontation between the civilization of the East and the West? Was colonialism the result of the conflict between East and West? Were the crimes that we have faced in these three years the result of the confrontation between Iran and America?

Iran's cultural week in Russia was one of the most magnificent cultural events in recent years

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs answered the question that "Iran's cultural week in Russia has ended. Considering the recent developments in the relations between Tehran and Moscow, what role can this cultural event play in strengthening the interactions between the two countries?" He said: Cultural cooperation between Iran and Russia, on the one hand, is a sign of the depth and extent of the good relations between the two countries, and on the other hand, it can be the basis for strengthening relations in various fields, including political, economic and commercial.

Baqaei, pointing out that Iran's cultural week in Russia was one of the most magnificent cultural events in recent years, which was held in four cities of this country, including Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Kazan and Astrakhan. Previously, the Russian Cultural Week was held in Iran, he noted: I feel it necessary to thank the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, the Organization of Islamic Culture and Communications and my colleagues who, with proper planning, were able to introduce some of Iran's cultural capacities and assets to the Russian audience. I also appreciate the Russian hosts for providing the necessary facilities to hold these events.

We are ready to help solve the crisis in Yemen through dialogue/ The escalation of tension in the region is only for the benefit of the Zionist regime.

In response to a question about the telephone conversation between the foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia last night in the midst of developments in Yemen and reports published about the position of the Saudi Crown Prince regarding maintaining diplomatic relations with Iran and increasing economic pressure on our country, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: It is natural for the media to have their own analyzes and claims, but regarding the talks that took place last night, I must say that the consultations between Iran and the countries of the region are ongoing.

Baqa'i pointed out that we are very worried about the events that are happening in the Arabian Peninsula, and noted: We have repeatedly declared our readiness to use Jamila's efforts to help dialogue between the parties. We believe that the continuation and escalation of tension will only lead to the exploitation of the Zionist regime in the region. In this sense, we do not like the continuation of fire and war between two Islamic countries. Our region is under enough tension due to the actions of America and the Zionist regime.

He continued: At the same time, we have always expressed our position that Yemeni people have the right to live an honorable life away from pressure, sanctions and blockade. What we have witnessed in these 10 to 12 years is not justified in terms of Islam, nor in terms of international law. Anyway, in last night's conversation, we also announced our readiness to help resolve the issue through dialogue.

America turning to Russia for oil supply is significant

The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in response to the question, "What is the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding Mr. Putin's declaration of readiness to supply oil and oil products needed by the world markets, especially the American market?" He said: Every country can make decisions in line with its interests. It is natural that the Islamic Republic of Iran also decides on various issues based on its priorities and national interests. From this point of view, the issue of providing oil and oil products is an issue between Russia and America.

He added: However, regardless of the bilateral relations of these two countries, this issue is significant. If there was no problem and the problem was solved, why should the American side reach out to Russia to solve part of its problems?
