00:06Iran claims Hormuz closed until further orders.
00:11This is what we are learning right at the top of the very bulletin.
00:15Our focus being on the West Asia war theater.
00:18Iran Parliament Speaker Ghalibov says, and I quote,
00:21Hormuz stays closed.
00:23Hormuz reopening depends on the U.S.'s commitments.
00:26We'll use military force to push back enemies.
00:29Ghalibov also adds, Iran must both fight and negotiate,
00:34and fight and negotiate, that is,
00:37with Iran also mentioning the diplomacy to consolidate battlefield gains.
00:41Iran conveys conditions for re-engaging in the United States' talks.
00:46Iran demands end to war on all fronts.
00:49Tehran demands an unfreezing of the Iranian funds.
00:52Iran demands end to naval blockade.
00:54Iran awaits response from U.S. President Donald Trump, Qatar.
00:58Pakistan mediating Iran-U.S. talks.
01:00Iran says consultations with Qatar Park continue.
01:04This is the breaking news right at the top of this very bulletin.
01:08On that note, let us take a look at what exactly has been happening in the West Asian war theater
01:14in the latest few weeks.
01:16On one end, there is the Strait of Hormuz that has seen a blockade since the very beginning of the
01:22war
01:22that was right at the end of February, starting of March.
01:26Since then, the world has seen this very important oil choke point being completely disrupted
01:31in terms of operations because of the war that has been waging.
01:35On the other side, there is also an escalation we have seen in the recent times
01:39with the Houthis, the proxies.
01:43Houthi group also coming in to act and move in and threaten another oil choke point,
01:50which is Babel Mandir.
01:52So, this is the condition in the West Asian war theater.
01:55Now, as we speak, we also see that there is the entire West Asia war situation escalating
02:05on one side in the sense that there is pressure from the United States' side
02:12on the entire Iranian war theater itself, where there is attacks escalating with each passing day.
02:21Infrastructure has come under attack.
02:22Oil infrastructure has come under attack.
02:25All of this has been taking place in the last couple of weeks.
02:27And Trump has time and again come out to say a very simple fact that we will be ending this
02:34war soon.
02:35Initially, he said it will end after the midterm polls that is scheduled for the month of November.
02:40But now, with the escalations that we're seeing, Trump has also come out to say that
02:44be very wary of escalations taking place at this given point itself.
02:49Now, whether this means an end to a war is coming soon with a much bigger attack from the United
02:56States' side,
02:57we do not know because these are rhetorics we've heard from President Donald Trump time and again over the last
03:02few months.
03:03Most importantly, Iran also continues to retaliate at this point of time,
03:06which is what is very important to understand in this current circumstances as we speak.
