  Speaker 1: attack carried out by Iran on a Panama flagged oil

  Speaker 1: tanker on Saturday morning. US officials say after previous strikes,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Iran was given a chance to honor its ceasefire agreement
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: with America, but chose not to. It's the second time
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Iran has targeted ships in the Straight of Horn Moves
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: over the past few days. On Friday, the US said

  Speaker 1: was using an unauthorized route in the Gulf Waterway. President
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Trump posted on social media saying the US struck Iranian
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: targets for violating the ceasefire again. He says it's possible
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Iran will never learn and that there may come a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: point where the US can no longer be reasonable and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: will be forced to use the military to complete the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: job it started. He ended by saying if that happens,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist, ending
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: his post with an exclamation mark. Well. At the same time,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Iran's Revolutionary Guard CARS said it launched at tax against
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Bahrain and Kuwait in retaliation for those latest US strikes.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: QWIGHT confirmed it was responding to what it called hostile
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: drone and missile attacks. Air raid sirens have also been
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: sounding in Bahrain. Lama Mamoudian is a research fellow at
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the Global and National Security Institute. He gave me his
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: take on the latest round of strikes.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: These strikes or consequences of couple of issues. The first
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: thing is the stallmate that we are witnessing in Iran.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: US talks in regarding the strait of the hormones, the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: sovereignty over it, and when it's going to be restored.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: The Americans are very much clean king that straight off
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the hormones, specifically speaking, the route that it is under
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the is closer to the own Money's flank of the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Strait be open as quick as possible. United State doesn't
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: want to continue negotiation over Iran's nuclear weapon, while Iran
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: tries to keep the Oman's roads of the Straight Off
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the hormones closed in view of the Americans, that can
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: give the Iranian a strong leverage. For the same reason,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Iran wants to keep that leverage. The other issue that
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: actually plays a role in the concert in the in
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the goal Persian goffic is far from the goal Persian off.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It is in Lebanon doing a couple during the last
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: couple of days, the Lebanese government, with the premediation of
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the Americans, they signed a deal with the Israels which
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: allows Israel to remain in South after lebon On a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: specific list in two zones. And also that agreement points
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: out that the Hezboll Love would be disarmed. This is
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a great deal of danger toward not only Hezbola but
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: also Iran's influence. Iranian have been constantly tried to condition
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the ceasefire in Lebanon to ceasefire and peace still with
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: between them as American as they call it, the total
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: piece and pills on all fronts. This is not something
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: that the Prime Minister in Etonio who wants and this
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: is something that the United said also is quite reluctant
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to it. United State wants to narrow the scope of
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the negotiation to Iran and what is happening in the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: middle is and in the Persian angle and the straight
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: off the hormos also its implication of it, its implication
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and the consequences of a stallmate difficulties and frustration. But
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: from both parties throughout the negotiation and political talks.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Do you think part of it is that maybe it
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: wasn't clear enough in the memorandum of understanding what happens
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: in the strait of hormones. And each side can say, well,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: we think it's this, and the other side say, actually,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: we think it's that.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: This is quite the case, and to be all frank,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: it is the case for most of the memoranda of
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the understandings or also ceaspars, because the memorandimus understanding it's
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: not a treaty, it's not an agreement. They usually compose
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and contain a couple of points, as Iran US memoranda
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: of the understanding has they are to be served as
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the framework, and when you have a framework where before
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: having a deal, it means that there are so many
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: places that it's up to interpretation of each size. There
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: are so many places, and there's so many issues that
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: haven't been discussed because the discussion has been left to
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the negotiation and a broader type historty. This can be
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: one of these issues, and at least that's one argument
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: that the Iranian make. From the Iranian point of view,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the straight off the Hormones has three routes. One route
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: is the close to Iran flank, One route is the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: medal for a route which both Iranian and Americans have
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: agri that that route is not really accessible because they
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: still need to clear their minds out of it. And
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: there is a third route which is closer to the
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: old Mon's coast. Iran's claim is that according to the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: memorana of understanding and the only one route, which is
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the Iranian route or the closer route to the Iran's coast,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: are open. The Americans have a different understanding, and from
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: their point of view, as Vice President Jad Evans pointed out,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: it is only the middle route, the route that been
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: deluded by the months is closed and all all the routes,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: including the Iranian and own moneys, are open to freedom
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: of the maritime freedom and I think this causes a
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: confusion and conflict. And yes, to answer your question, yes,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the memoranda of understanding did not really clarify that, at
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: least in view of the Iranians,
