00:02On behalf of the Ambassadors in Moscow, I would like to thank Your Excellency for holding
00:08this meeting with us, and also on behalf of the Arab countries of the Gulf, I would like
00:18to thank you for the telephone conversation of your President with our leader.
00:25Our countries and the Arab countries of the Gulf are facing aggression from Iran.
00:31It represents a threat to our civilian infrastructure.
00:37Over the last week, many people have been killed.
00:42We know that you have a special strategic relationship with Iran.
00:48Therefore, we hope that Russia will play a major role, will exert pressure on Iran to stop
00:56the aggression against our countries.
01:01You said that everyone knows that our countries are not parties to this conflict, and we have
01:09not acted against Iran.
01:13I would like to convey a message from our countries that Russia has a stronger position on this
01:21issue and can help stop the aggression against our countries.
01:27We also have strategic relations with Russia, and we want to exert more pressure on Iran
01:34in order to immediately stop this aggression.
01:38This will also help stop the conflict in the entire region.
01:44The group of Arab states on whose behalf you speak did indeed warn.
01:52Many of the Arab monarchies publicly said that things should not be led toward a military solution, and that
01:59they would not allow their airspace to be used, as I already said.
02:03But when it all began, contrary to your repeatedly addressed appeals to the United States and Israel, did
02:12you condemn what the United States and Israel began to do?
02:17And for example, did you condemn the deaths of 170 girls in a school?
02:25I believe that we must take a unified position.
02:33We are against the suffering of the Gulf countries, on whose behalf you speak.
02:40We believe that this does not provide our Arab colleagues with any military advantages.
02:48Politically, it is very doubtful that Iran gains anything from this, rather the opposite.
02:57But we also cannot accept the logic according to which Iran's actions are unacceptable, while
03:05everything the U.S. and Israel do is not subject to discussion.
03:09Do you understand what I mean, it is an obvious thing, it lies on the surface.
03:16We advocate for the immediate cessation of aggression.
03:22We would be sincerely grateful to the Cooperation Council for the Arab states of the Gulf, and
03:28to all the countries represented here, if you would add your voice to this.
03:32Because, well, the reason for everything that is happening.
03:39We can say that Iran reacted in a way that not everyone expected.
03:43I agree with that.
03:46But a country in the middle of negotiations is subjected to aggression.
03:53Well, treacherous aggression, they agreed to continue the negotiations.
04:00I spoke with the Minister of Foreign of Oman, Badr al-Busaydi.
04:07He is in shock that everything turned out this way, at a moment when, in his estimation, solutions
04:14have been found.
04:18Therefore, yes, we are in solidarity with all the Gulf countries suffering from what is happening.
04:29We call for a united front for the cessation of this entire war.
04:36Because simply saying that Iran has no right to do anything means that you are, well, effectively
04:47and openly encouraging the United States and Israel to continue.
04:51This is illogical.
04:52Let us all together advocate for the cessation of any hostilities, starting with a complete
04:59moratorium on attacks that lead to casualties among the civilian population and to the destruction
05:05of civilian infrastructure, as is happening in many Arab countries.
05:13We observe how the world economy is being deprived, at least for some prolonged period, of one of the main
05:21motors of its development, as an oil refinery is being liquidated.
05:27This is all terrible.
05:32By the way, I heard that your countries, I believe even Bahrain, now want to introduce a resolution in the
05:43UN Security Council in the spirit of what you said, to condemn the aggression of Iran without saying a single
05:52word about the actions of the US and Israel.
05:57Well, probably this will only split countries.
06:02I am sure that the Americans, of course, will seize upon this initiative.
06:07It fully corresponds to their logic, which consists of the fact that it is necessary to finish off this regime,
06:14which has no right to exist.
06:20You know, last year, the Americans introduced a resolution on Ukraine to the UN Security Council, which called for the
06:26conflict to be ended as soon as possible.
06:28Well, there were some other additional points, but the meaning of the resolutions was like that.
06:34Let us adopt the same resolution in the UN Security Council.
06:37We will be only for it.
06:39In my opinion, that would be fair.
