00:00Now, the U.S. is piling on more demands for Iran ahead of their second round of indirect talks this weekend.
00:06Washington is pressuring Tehran to fully eliminate its nuclear enrichment program.
00:11The statement by U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff contradicts his previous claim that the White House wants to limit and not destroy Iran's program.
00:19Tehran says that much work is still to be done.
00:24As for the negotiations, we are neither optimistic nor pessimistic.
00:28After all, work is underway. Some progress is being made.
00:32The first steps we took were good ones, but we need to move forward carefully.
00:36The red lines have been outlined. We and the other side understand them.
00:39We must continue our negotiations. We may or may not achieve a result.
00:45Meanwhile, the upper house of the Russian parliament has ratified a treaty with Iran for comprehensive strategic partnership.
00:51The agreement commits to strengthening cooperation in all spheres, including defense and military tech exchange.
00:58The deal does not have a collective defense clause in case either state is attacked by a third party, but it does block Moscow and Tehran from assisting aggressors against both parties.
01:08The treaty also protects joint peaceful atomic projects between Russia and the Islamic Republic as well.
01:14But to get more on this story now, we're joined live by the first deputy chairman of the Russian Federation Council's defense and security committee, Vladimir Shizhov.
01:24Mr. Shizhov, thanks a lot for joining us on the program.
01:27First of all, can you just give us a general overview of how both Russia and Iran are going to mutually benefit from this new comprehensive strategic agreement?
01:36Well, let me start by pointing out that this new treaty between Russia and the Islamic Republic of Iran was ratified this morning and unanimously by the upper house of the Russian parliament.
01:57Previously, it was also ratified by the state Duma, the lower house, and it's not something that is being built from scratch.
02:10It actually supersedes a similar agreement of 2001 between Russia and Iran.
02:18But, of course, this is a qualitative step forward.
02:24It brings our relations to a new level of cooperation in various fields.
02:31As you rightly mentioned, it does not create a military alliance, but there are articles, and actually it's a very lengthy document, about 18 pages.
02:46It outlines areas of cooperation in the military field, and also in the military technical assistance.
02:56So, and it contains mutual guarantees, for example, that neither side will allow its territory to be used by a third party aggressor against the other party.
03:16Well, that's stating the obvious, I must add, because Russia never had any plans to allow aggressive acts against Iran from its own territory.
03:32And I'm sure Iran would have reciprocated in case the situation demanded.
03:42So, and of course, we will promote cooperation in various economic fields.
03:55Nuclear energy, perhaps I should mention.
03:57You are aware that Russia was an active participant of the six-party talks with Iran, which were finalized in 2015 in the form of JCPOA,
04:19which is the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action regarding the Iranian nuclear program.
04:27It has been put on hold with attempts by one of the six countries to abrogate it,
04:40but that is still, in our view, the way to resolve all differences in that sensitive area of cooperation.
04:55Well, in terms of other comprehensive strategic partnerships that Russia's signed with other countries,
05:02I mean, one of the first other ones that comes to mind, for me at least,
05:05was the one that was signed with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea back in June of last year.
05:10And one thing I noticed that's different about this one with Iran from that one is that here there's no,
05:17there's an exclusion of direct military assistance in terms of attacks by third countries on either Iran and Russia.
05:23So how is the situation here different that warrants that, would you say?
05:32Well, I believe that in every individual case of bilateral agreements between Russia and its partners in the form of other countries,
05:45every situation is different, so you should not expect Russia to copy-paste agreements from one country to another.
05:59Well, the ratification, it comes amid escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington, for example.
06:06So what kind of message do you think the agreement sends to the West?
06:10Well, I believe on this you have a point.
06:19The fact that this agreement has been ratified, it was signed back in January of this year, as far as I remember,
06:31but it is being put into action now, there will be required a final signature by the Russian president.
06:45I understand that on the Iranian side, the ratification procedure may be much more complicated.
06:52There are too many institutions, many more than, for example, in the Russian government system.
07:01But in any case, it's a political signal.
07:04It's a political signal not only to Iran, a signal of support,
07:10but also to other countries that may have other views on their relations with the Islamic Republic.
07:19Well, staying on the subject of, you know, collective relationships with the West,
07:26how likely do you think that Russia could become a full-time mediator between Iran and the United States right now?
07:36Well, provided both sides appeal to Russia to act as a mediator, not before that.
07:47And how would Russia potentially react to direct U.S. or military aggression, U.S. or Israeli military aggression against Iran?
08:00Well, we will certainly react.
08:05If that happens, we will regard it as an act of aggression against a friendly country.
08:12And, of course, we will use all political means to make our position known
08:19and to bring the attention of the U.N. Security Council and other international fora to this particular case.
08:32Well, just one more question here, Mr. Chisholov.
08:36Donald Trump was recently asked about joint naval drills between Russia, Iran and China.
08:41And he said he's not concerned at all because he says that the U.S. is stronger than all of those countries.
08:47What's your reaction to this statement?
08:48Well, on the technical side of it, I think you'd better ask Navy officers and admirals.
09:01But politically, I believe that...
09:07Actually, I don't want to judge the American president,
09:12but I understand that U.S. Navy, as the Navy of any other countries,
09:20has its own deficiencies and problems.
09:23So it may be strong.
09:27It may be not as strong as the combined navies of other countries put together.
09:34But it's up to the military to make their calculations.
09:37All right. First, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Council's Defense and Secretary Committee,
09:43Security Committee, rather, Vladimir Chisholov, thanks a lot for joining us on the program.
