Id be university of the one in honor of the deceased president and his onto was which included foreign minister whos saying, i mean after law young, theres following this funeral into one on thursday. The leads president will be put to rest in the northeastern city of mashhad, which is his home town. And the size of a mob resolves holy shrine. Where, where you see, wants served as the custodian, the custodian of the holy shrine of mom, or as he was known for his on waiver and commitment to bolstering as long as they can. Amik resilience through leveraging domestic resources and diversifying toys partnerships beyond the confines of western influence. And still a sense of self assurance. And iranian, showing that the was, does not hold the elixir for as long as the economic challenges, despite the absence of europe and Tech Companies in iran, racy inspired confidence that the country code progress using its own resources on support from like minded nations, including venezuela and cuba, he used to say this frequently, that the world is not limited to the west. He also automated ties with long standing partners such as china and russia, something which allies perfectly what his vision of fast free, gay multiple was order, and counseling, western pressure, aimed at isolating these level for public on the worlds stay. So indeed, what he sees Global Impact is unmistakable, which can be easily worked as the out touring of condolences from World Leaders across the world who have expressed solidarity of sympathy with one during this period of morning. We see that the Us Security Council page review it with a minute of silence, while numerous countries declared National Days of morning and lord, the flags to half mast embassies, the chairman of the state duma, fresher and pakistani Prime Minister, ship boss, or you are expected to attend a seminar Memorial Service later in the day to have on a monday russian president vladimir report you conveyed his heart failed condolences for as long as the interim president.

But Vice President must bear who serves as acting president s in accordance with the constitution headset, june 28th as the election day, which are with canada, of course registration, starting from may 30th to june. 3rd, so the nation says at a pivotal juncture, now as it prepares to talk to new corps and the port for you, sierra. So we were discussing this a bit earlier in the program, the desk of racy. We discussed this with the director general of the text on ive gotten this on use for him and he basically told about what comes next because a wrong unpack us don have vested interest to grow that bilateral times. Hey, steve was the only president who, but it has certainly related to somebody but also so i took it out to you and i didnt spend should be the one that has been. So this showed that box on it and i see. And that on, in the spiritual dean to, you know, it has this is by letter to dice. And they wouldnt want to have the size of it, but theyre gonna live. And certain farmer says that often are easy. I think the kind of solution that bucks on it is trying to bent at, on hard on thinking that the way they submitted 10 bundles efforts probably in the state of it on would want to have a garden in addition, spent focused on because in the past we kind of have, you know, harvard Corporate Board of commissions, but it says the print and the rest issue and also in the central issue and also with the customer, wants to sound as well to part time. Would like to have a friendly neighborhood and would like to have, uh, uh, you know, tires. It does the countries as of a little, uh, and dies, as of who would want to have some of the information. But bucks not without the Iranian Embassy here in moscow. Ambassadors from nations all around the world have been visiting to offer that condolences with their wrongs. And boy, hosting the event because the child is to discuss with him to the future of a rounds Foreign Policy, as well as the ongoing impact of western such a living is that more of a in the hall . This is what we do know so far is that the tragedy was caused by bad weather. Some people said that the sanctions and lack of equipment where the cause of the tragedy, but i dont know whether it was the case in most cases. Sanctions play a bad role sanctions imposed on us or in humane actions by the west. You saw that during the covered pandemic. It was the sanctions that prevented us from using our funds to buy equipment or vaccines. So you cannot ignore the impact of sanctions, but i dont know to what extent this incident was caused by sanctions. It was a great tragedy for the uranium people in our government as both the foreign minister and the president died. But regarding the Foreign Policy, there will be no changes. Iranian Foreign Policy is stable things to be an under the guidance of the Supreme Leader. When it comes to our closest allies, such as russia, we will continue and further strengthen our friendship and continue to implement the Bilateral Agreements and projects. We will continue to develop our partnerships in bricks and the shanghai cooperation organization, as well as in the u. N. We believe cooperation with russia is significant for our country. We will continue to cooperate with china, india, and all our neighbors. The exception is for the countries acting aggressively against us. You know that we dont recognize and have no relations with the zionist regime. We also regret to see that the us for the last 45 years committed the largest number of crimes against the running and people and the government. But except these 2 countries, we have very good relations with everyone else in the world. So it did, you know, the king of buffalo rain has arrived here and must go with the invitation of president vladimir putin. I mean, how much been east that ill, how lisa was meant by the Deputy Foreign minister and a russian on a god. It is by and landed the name of the visits to discuss further federal ties and the latest International Developments last week of the arab summit bucket. I. Instead i will it open the analysis design to enhance cooperation with the russian federation. And the next stop with the kings tow will take him to beijing. So the arrow timings cooperation for him. Well, russian, the forces have regained control over the town of cache. A guy thats the city of trouble and its on that square public. Last year the town was taken by ukrainian troops says i, one of the main gains of so called counter offensive. And the last few months of a Russian Troops advancing in several areas across the front, the dentists republic keeps forces were pushed back from the regional capital as well as from around the town of chest of yacht. This month, the Russian Forces lower than the friendship and the article for region to basically establish a buffer zone around as belgrade border region that has been coming under repeated ukrainian shelling a more from the region with this. Its a all these Steve Sweeney picking up the story. Weve just received confirmation from the Russian Ministry of defense of the latest advances in the dont yet square public. Russian troops are taking control over the settlement. Of course you have this cable, a heavy price to you, crating it on forces around 1000. 00 men. What last of the last 24 hours . Thats a total wounded and uh, i dont have minutes u haul barrels, so has grown up in flames. Now these come soon off the rushing neighbor, i said, the village of a boston, of course, this was tim bold cuz the only real dying of the ukrainian filed counter offensive the and it comes a time when the Ukrainian Government has implemented these, this new mobilization, which was as close, many, many, to flee the country rather than face life on the front lines, which is proving very difficult for the crating anomaly at this stage of growth and all calls the russian treats that are trusting communities, defensive lines like a knife through butter with very serious questions being also, of course, this is supposed to be a heavy, every 45, every and i, russian president vladimir putin. The said at this stage that there are no plans to take control of how the game is ready to create a buffers. Im going to provide some welcome relief for the people of belgrade, which is coming under a sustained and constant ukrainian a top but this is also you International Washington is trying to control the narrative of last weeks assassination attempt on the slow by Prime Minister by pushing the lone wolf story, thats the play being made by russian intelligence. It is notable the us and its your penalized offices simply trying to impose the version of a loan that betrayed to dissatisfied with a decline in the level of democracy. In slovakia, according to Information Available to the russian for intelligent service, American Government agencies already seeking to join the investigation in order to steer it in the right direction. The very goal is to exclude promotion of the topic of political terrorism in europe and the robot, a potential external trace to the terrorist attack for us as intelligence as saying that basically the success nation that time shows bought the west will resort to when they fail to maintain their hedge and will need through civilized methods, theyre calling that political terror attack against an opponents. Now we know that robert sweetsers, one of the most pro Russian Politicians in europe. His re, election in 2023 was largely based on a platform of all promises to and military support to ukraine and also to veto ukraines nato emissions. So, and then all of a sudden when does the association that something happened . Everyone jumped the gun. Excuse me, for the pun. There. Jumped the gun to say that basically this was definitely a loan will for a situation while were hearing this lone wolf narrative from western sources. But the slovak leadership has completely rejected that. What is their stance and the system yet . Now . Theyre rejected about originally when this happened or said, oh no, no, no, this is a low, involve situation. Yes, its politically motivated, but he was acting alone and they made that conclusion without even having their information. Because now we know they attack up and on wednesday, and they only miners to search the perpetrators home on sundays. So 2 days after the attack and why apparently there was this was due to delays in processing the arrest, the search warrant issued by the judge, the Prime Minister as charles, and you say 2 days to process a search warrant for the pro, for trade us something sounds off here and meanwhile, by the time theyve gone to his house, guess what happened somehow all of his, all im history on his computer was a rice. He was at home, his wife says she didnt do it. So who did it . Lets just more research it today. What do you mean . Maybe 2 hours after the crime scene . Someone deleted the perpetrators, entire history of communication on facebook, and it wasnt deleted by him. Even his wife didnt do it or you just told me i could also explain to you theres been some assistance hearing covering. Heres the suspects tracks. It means that the policy act suit for the benefit of the suspect plus there are other clues that say that the facts of wednesdays tech theyve been discussing a wide, a circle. Sort of this is shocking that i showed to the wrong. So when they were asked the defense, then this turned it up. Its a Prime Minister, how this was allowed to happen. Why did it take 2 days . They say they can comments on the situation. There are 2 points in the finger at someone else and all you need to ask the police all you need to ask the judge what happened . So its really, its very strange and also to add to that the general prosecutor has said that he doesnt. So uh, basically that will be looking at re qualifying this as a terrorist act. Once they gather all the information, which is what they should have done, gather all the information 1st and then say whether it was, it was not alone will situation. This is whats really bizarre and the situation football, gary, and president s come out with a statement saying that the media is to blame for what happened in slovakia. Can you take us through the sort of argument thats emerged along these lines . Lot of i face those allies mainly in particular, were focusing on what was happening in the media in the country and in general in europe. This hate rhetoric for the bulgarian president s felt that are quite clearly. He said, its unacceptable to continue push on this narrative that the only solution to the conflict a new crane is to continue the war until russia is defeated. He says, 1st of all, as to you know, that sound going to happen. And 2nd of all, its impossible, and 2nd of all, if you continue pushing that narrative, then of course this will lead to more hate less listen. The attempted assassination of european Prime Minister by radicalized fanatic because of his support for peace indicates this ingrained intolerance of descent. And hatred, many politicians, parties and media have contributed to this by portraying every differing voice as pro russian, which is extremely unfair and leads to these negative consequences over as level of care the problem. And it has now resumed its activities on tuesday. And actually they started by approved them in the government, let a resolution condemning the attack of course, and also call in on several organizations and media in the country can to continue promoting hates and this hates our rhetoric. So well see what will happen. But also theyre continuing his policies, basically theyre saying that theyre moving forward and working in the direction that was said by robert feed so, so the master plan behind the soul has failed. Lets try to learn more of this right now. Of course you live through laurie johnson, a former c i list on book associate c e o joining us. What about a quarter past 3 in the afternoon just south of town put in florida. 5 great to get you on the show, but what a story this is, you know, because its not, its not, i dont know, some official or one top guy here. All theyre saying this is a russian intelligence that is now saying that washington is trying to odd to push this line of a lone wolf narrative. But why would russian intelligence even say that larry . Well, because i think they have good intelligence to point out that this individual was not acting on his own. He didnt just wake up that morning and say, you know, let me grab my gun and id take him to go try to shoot a feat. So of you know, if he was in contact with somebody who either encouraged him or facilitated this in some form or fashion or someone or a group of some ones. Yeah, thats why what so odd is that the social media accounts could immediately erased or race after hes in custody. And his wife is in custody as well. So neither of them could have done it. Of the other aspect is you dont get to get ahold of a cell phone cuz the, the cell phones have enormous capability to track both movements as well as the identified people that he was talking to communicating with. Yeah, so youve got all that as background. I get, i dont think that this was just some disgruntled of political activists who decided on his own to do unfortunately, he wasnt well try not because of that, just at that distance with that kind of firearm. He shouldve been able to do a lot more damage. So it does. Its a blessing that he gets it. Yeah, yeah. I think you may soon make some really good points that laurie i want to, i want to draw it out to be brought up because considering it, you know, your background with the cia its, its good to get you on the show to talk about this because i saw a reports unconfirmed on know, and i saw reports that was circulating at the same time the the attempted assassination attempt was made on faith. So i saw reports that hungary is evict to ottoman, and sophias Alexander Village church had been warned that they might be hits planned against them as well. I was informed that both picked the order b
