Samira Gharayi, Iran International’s correspondent in the United States, reports from Washington on Farahzad Fardad 24 that the New York Times has published a report on nuclear activity in Iran.
The New York Times claim, which has been denied by Iran, includes explanations about some of the tunnels in Iran.
Biden’s trip to Israel has fueled these issues.
The former US military chief also claimed that Iran was increasing its power
The New York Times claims that commercial satellites also show these tunnels.
In program 24 Show with Fardad Farahzad, he also talks to Fardad Farahzad Farzin Nadimi as an expert and announces that the distance between the claimed tunnels is 187 to 248 meters.
What is the normal power of stealth aircraft? This is part of these claims against Iran.
Farzin Nadimi also says that in this case, there is almost no ability related to tunnels.
Tonight on 24
Iran’s uranium enrichment deep
under the Karkas Mountains
US and Israeli security
sources say Iran has excavated
deep underground tunnels
near the Natanz nuclear facility
The mysterious cargo
plane , the pilot and its Iranian
crew are still in the custody
of the Argentine police
Reports indicate that the plane’s crew was
in contact with the Revolutionary Guards
UN Secretary-General calls for respect for
freedom of expression and protest in Iran
Amnesty International
has also called on
Tehran to suspend
hand amputation orders
And the great revealer
of hidden documents on
the verge of extradition
to the United States
Julian Assange still has
a chance to reconsider
This is 24 from Washington
DC with Fardad Farahzad
Greetings
Satellite images from Natanz nuclear
facility show the digging of tunnels
deep under the nearby mountains , the
New York Times wrote the Islamic Republic
is constructing
tunnels under ground to
transport part of the
enrichment facility
At Natanz nuclear facility,
American and Israeli sources say
Iran’s goal in building these tunnels
is to avoid Bunker Buster bombs
As you can see in the picture, this tunnel
was built in the south of the facility
And it probably goes as
far as the Karkas mountains
Which makes the possible
bombing of the place very difficult
Protecting against cyber
and hacker attacks is
another reason for the
transfer of these facilities
Deep down, it is said that the
United States and Israel since last year
observed these excavations in the
south of the Natanz facility
The Israeli Defense Minister
mentioned the existence
of these tunnels in a
speech just a month ago
Tehran is currently trying to install a
thousand advanced IR-6 centrifuges
They are also
building new facilities in
Underground tunnels ,
connected to Natanz power plant
It is said that with
the completion of this
tunnel, the main uranium
enrichment site in Natanz
Will be transferred to under
ground, My colleague
Samira Gharaei is here
and knows more details
as she’s followed the news published
by the New York Times
What does this report say?
Fardad, as stated in this report
This is an underground facility in
the south of Natanz, as you mentioned
And based on estimates
made by US security agencies
Iran is supposed to transfer
the Natanz facility and
the centrifuge section where
uranium enrichment is done
to this area underground
, of course, as you
mentioned, US security
and intelligence officials
And Israel has been
aware of this for a long time
Biden administration knows for a year that
Iran is building such a tunnel facility
But we have never
heard from US officials about it
Although the United States knew
that Iran had taken such an action
In Israel, too, Israeli security
officials mentioned the issue only once
another issue mentioned
in the New York Times report is that
These tunnel facilities are
years away from being completed
these facilities will not be
completed in the coming months
But now before Joe Biden’s
trips to Israel and Saudi Arabia
The New York Times has raised
this issue and that it may be
talked about during Biden’s
trip to Israel and in general
Gen. Frank Mackenzie, the former head of
Centcom, also spoke to the New York Times
He says that Iran is
taking these measures to
Use them as leverage
in negotiations and
The importance of raising the
issue of these facilities at this time
may be the United
States and Israel talk about this
I should also mention , the
New York Times article says
Tunnel facilities can be seen
through commercial satellite imagery
But in addition to this,
on the 13 January, 2022,
the Institute of Science
and International Security
Published a report by David Albright
and Sarah Burkhard in this report
The construction of this
tunnel was mentioned in detail
The title of the report
was , Iran’s Natanz
Tunnel Complex: Deeper,
Larger than Expected
And Israel estimates that this
tunnel facility is extremely large
Its depth is likely to be
unparalleled in Iran’s tunnel facilities
In the picture, we can
see that besides its
depth,it is right next to
the Karkas mountains
That is, they can probably
use the height of the mountain to
increase the depth, this
is actually what Iran wants
to do, by taking the
facility, now it’s nuclear
but we know about missiles and
ballistic missiles, they have done the same
Iran wants to protect itself from air
attacks by taking these under ground
Now here it is stated that this is
also in relation to cyber attacks
The centrifuges will be safe, if you
remember once the United States and Israel
attacked Natanz
jointly years ago
It was a series of
attacks called the Olympic
Games that shut down
hundreds of centrifuges
And now we have to
see this measure that Iran
has thought of, maybe
stops the air strikes
Even though the United States is
armed with Bunker Buster bombs
Israel is not armed with
them, but whether in relation to
Cyber-attacks the Iranian
centrifuges will or not will also be safe
They did not announce
the exact depth, but
Experiences that Iran has,like
Fordow at a depth of 90 meters
on the freeway between
Tehran and Qom, left the centrifuges there
In Natanz itself, they buried the
centrifuges at a depth of 8 meters
It is not clear exactly how deep
these tunnels are , but estimates
The US and Israeli security intelligence
is that they are very deep under ground
Farzin Nadimi, a security
defense analyst from
Washington DC has joined
us. Thank you, Mr. Nadimi
Before talking to Mr. Nadimi, I would
like to ask you this question as well
Iran is not very inexperienced in
underground facilities
exactly, they have
Fordow and also about missile installations
Twenty days ago, there was a place
called the 313 Strategic UAV Base
If you remember, it was exactly
20 days ago, that they revealed it
It was under ground, around Kermanshah,
Iran seems totally interested in
Keeping its facility
under ground to keep
them safe away from
air strikes and dig more
Mr Nadimi it is said the Israelis and
Americans have the equipment to bomb
Sites that are underground
but that depth that now
We are talking about and the
satellite images that we showed
It shows that the Karkas mountains
also with high altitude
help the facility to be
deeper, how much The current
military equipment in the
Israeli and American arsenal
If they take military
action, will be able
to destroy this mountain
barrier and tunnel?
it Makes the job harder
The difference is that
the mountain where
the Fordow facility is built
is about 960 meters high, while
this mountain that the facility of Natanz
is being built under is more than
1600 meters high and
If these tunnels
are built horizontally
In Fordow, the maximum
distance between the tunnels
and the top of the
mountain is 70 and 80 meters
here it is something
between 80 and 145 meters
Does it make the job much harder,
or impossible? I want to ask you this
Is there any conventional
non-nuclear equipment now
That can destroy a mountain , for example,
at a height of a thousand, as you said
and then reach
the nuclear facility?
I would also like to
make a point about the
distance between the
tunnels and the surface of
The mountain on the surface
next to the ridge of the mountain is
actually said to be between 78
and 145 meters in the new facility
And in Fordow facilities is between eighty
to ninety meters if I am not mistaken
At present, American B-2 stealth
aircraft can each carry two GBU-53 bombs
MOP,massive ordnance
penetrator, that can penetrate
up to 60 meters into
the reinforced concrete
But as I said, in these cases it is
about eighty meters below the mountain
Or it is a hundred meters
below the mountain, it
is not clear exactly how
much of this thickness
is reinforced concrete,
how much is rock and how much is soil
But the likelihood that they will be able
to penetrate with the current equipment
At least to the new
facilities,it is very difficult
for We know that the
existing facilities in Natanz
Which is about eight
meters below the soil and
concrete , the main
enrichment halls in Natanz
So destroying them is not a big
deal with the equipment they have now
Israelis have GBU-28 bombs that can
penetrate concrete up to six meters
Of course, there is a new
bomb that has been made
It has smaller
dimensions and can fit
inside bomb case of
the F-22 or F-35 planes
they are also stealth planes,
and they can penetrate
reinforced concrete up to
ten meters, , but it is difficult
to Penetrate into these
very buried tunnels
under the ground and
in my opinion other than
by using tactical nuclear weapons
it is almost impossible to destroy
Mr. Nadimi, it has been a few
weeks now that experts say Iran
has almost no distance with the
ability to build nuclear bombs
We are seeing its missile tests, which
are intercontinental ballistic missiles
and satellite carrier rockets ,there are
concerns about its dual use
The issue of nuclear
talks has not reached
a point yet, we will
see in the coming weeks
Undoubtedly, both the
Israelis and the Americans
explore military options
Whether they use it or not,
When they see such
developments, in your opinion
In their thinking rooms, in the
places where they decide about
about the possible military reaction,what
do they say? do they say it is over?
And we can not even
respond to it militarily
And if it goes on, we have to accept that
this country has become a nuclear power
The ability to produce
enough enriched
uranium to make one or
more bombs is one thing
The ability to shrink the
design of a nuclear warhead
to place it on the tip of a
missile is another matter
In fact, both the Israelis and
the Americans almost agree that
It takes about two years,
but I think in less than that
Iran will be able to
produce a nuclear warhead
Of course, there is still
disagreement about this
tunnel. The Americans
believe that this tunnel
May only be used for the
production of centrifuges
The Israelis are worried that no,
about a thousand IR-6 centrifuges
If put here, it will make
the job much harder.
We know, for example,
about the project of
Production of enriched
uranium, the AMAD project
which Israelis took the
documents from Iran
it was supposed to be
two parallel projects
one apparently civilian
at the Natanz facility
to enrich uranium to three percent, then
the same uranium at the Fordow site
be enriched from
three to ninety percent
with a few cascades
of 3,000 IR-1 centrifuges
now they can do this much faster by IR-6

GharaEi, thank you both
Argentina is still
investigating the
mysterious Boeing 747
plane which its 19 crew
members, including 5 Iranians,
since last week in suspicion of being
operatives of the Revolutionary Guards
it has been confiscated in the country
According to information
released about 10 days ago
The plane flew from Moscow to
Tehran and from there to Belgrade
And after stopping at Asparagus in
Cape Verde, flew to Cortaro in Mexico
From there,
went to Caracas in Venezuela
it is said that this
plane before confiscation
had visited the Venezuelan
capital three times
It also had stopped in Mexico and Paraguay,
the Israeli embassy in Argentina said
The pilot of this plane,
Gholamreza Ghasemi, is a member
of the IRGC and is accused
of transferring weapons
To Hezbollah during
the Syrian civil war
Another crew member
was also said to be the son of
Ahmad Vahidi, Minister of Interior
of Iran, who according to reports
was involved in The bombing of a Jewish
center in Buenos Aires about 30 years ago
And resulted in the deaths
of at least 80 people
The names and details of
the two crew members are not
included in the documentation
provided for the aircraft crew
One of them is probably the son of Iranian
Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi
Who is wanted by Interpol
for attacking a Jewish center
A claim denied by Argentine officials, and
attributed to nominal similarities
Argentine federal police
on Tuesday at dawn
raided the hotel where
the crew was staying, the
police seized 18 mobile
phones and 7 tablets
It is said that the five
Iranian crew members
of this flight are related
to the Quds Force
And are responsible for covert
operations outside Iran’s borders
Listen to the manager of the
hotel where the flight crew was staying
Police came to get
information about the flight crew
crews usually come from Ezeiza
Airport and we usually have no problems
But now the authorities
have closed the
whole area, saying that
no one can leave here
It seems that the confiscation of
the Iranian cargo plane in Argentina is
turning to be an important issue, my
colleague Gelareh Hon has joined us
Tell us more, this story
sounds like cinematic stories.
What do you know about
this plane and its crew?
Yes, Fardad, it has been
ten days that the crew
of this cargo plane are
grounded in Argentina
Two days ago, at dawn, the police
raided the hotel of the crew
and seized the passports
of the crew members of the plane
who are 14 Venezuelans and 5
Iranians
Their electronics, including laptops
and 8 tablets and their personal phones
were seized and still the
case is pending, there are too
many doubts about this case
despite Argentina denying
The connection of this cargo plane
with the Revolutionary Guards, however
News sources reported actually
threatening signs and reg flags and
say that this
passenger plane actually has
Four things can be
clearly mentioned
News sources say that other than
the route of the plane and
And the route you mentioned
that flew from Moscow to Tehran
and to Mexico , the cargo it had
was automotive components and it tried
To go from Mexico to Venezuela ,
What they mentioned first is that
Emtrasur Company basically does not
have more than three planes and all three
were bought from Mahan, Mahan is a
company that according to security sources
of The United States, has
been involved in terrorist activities
And it has had a lot
of cooperation with the
Quds Force, another
issue that is mentioned
is the base of Emtrasur airline,
which is said this air base
is basically military and
it does not make sense
that a cargo plane
fly from a military base
Another issue is the number
of crew members of this aircraft
One of the reasons for
the suspicious activity
of this cargo plane
is that it has been said
This number of crew was very
strange for a cargo plane in this size
this aroused the suspicion
of airport officials at Paraguay Airport
It looks like just minutes after
this plane left the Paraguayan sky
Airport officials sent the report
to Argentina which was the
next destination of The
plane but due to delays in
reporting And other issues
that were not mentioned
Two Paraguayan airport
officials were fired, including
The head of Paraguay Airport,
news sources said that
Perhaps it is Iran’s
attempt to expand its sphere
of influence to the
borders of the United States
There are many unknown
points, as you said
All issues related to this
aircraft are really questionable
But at the same
time, the Argentine
authorities do not
seem to be able to or
want to say emphatically
that the crew on this plane
on The trip to Buenos Aires were all
involved with the Revolutionary Guards
Certainly not, even
an Argentinian official denied it
But they announced that
they are still investigating
Research in this area is ongoing
and there seems to be evidence
which is so well established that
this issue cannot be ignored
News sources reported these red flags
And it seems base on
Iran’s recent activities in Venezuela
And new business ventures
that seem to be intensifying
This seems to be a new
chapter in Iran’s cooperation
with countries near
the United States
And may be an effort
that Iran is making to
reach the American borders
According to American news sources.
Thank you my colleague Gelareh Hon
Well, we have live pictures of Nashville in
Tennessee where Donald Trump
Former President of the
United States in the ceremony
of The Faith & Freedom Coalition’s
Road to Majority is speaking
let’s hear parts of the former
US president speech
so we take off 500
million dollars, I said
no, it has got to have
3 on the front of it,
he says we are not doing it I am
telling you,next day he calls back
we take another 5, I said no it
has got to have 3 on the front of it
What happens is 2
months later I get a call
from Boeing , I wondered
what the hell he wants
yeah, called me again and
he said sir we will do the deal,
I said what is the price And
he said what you want
He said 3
million 999 thousand 999 cents
I said you have a deal,
so that was 2.5 years ago and now Boeing
is complaining that the
deal that Trump made was
too good and they are
gonna loose 600 million
dollars and they want
to renegotiate the deal
and I told the Biden
administration don’t do it
they made a deal, don’t
do it but they will, they will
They will make the deal,
it was a very good deal,
Some of its colors are darker, which
is why it is so much more beautiful
They said we could not do it,
because it would be very difficult
They said what happened, they
said that the government administration
ofd Biden said, “Okay, so we’re
going back to the previous colors.”
We choose childish blue, and another
thing we did, was the rule of Israel
We recognized it on the Golan
Heights. No one thought we would do that
I did so much What I did for
Israel, no one else did for Israel
I told those who loved Israel
that what were the most important
thing we could do for Israel,
first it was the Golan Heights and
And in fact, that one other
issue is the issue of the embassy
and I said what was more
important than them and he said
that the most important issue
that you did was to tear down
the nuclear agreement with Iran
and to destroy that agreement.
And that’s the best thing you have done
for Israel, and now they’re doing it and
they’re renegotiating to get this deal
back, this is going to get China back.
and He is buying oil and he is getting
richer and he is improving his situation
These people are stupid, we put America
first, we put America first and we worked for
America, look, compare America with two years
ago, and today, how it was two years ago.
The state of inflation and
the state of war The state
of Ukraine would not
have happened if it were me
And the higher price of gasoline,
that we are spending so much on gasoline
If it were me, we would have left
Afghanistan with dignity, not with the
situation that we surrendered there
and left with that very bad situation.
The day we left Afghanistan
was the worst day in history
I did not lose
even one soldier there
I was talking to the Taliban at
that time and they got angry about
why you are talking to the
Taliban. I told them that these are the
ones who decide. Just like Jesse
James said why are you going to the
bank? he said i’m going to the
bank cause all the money are there
And the great Jesse James actually, I’m
saying Billy the kid and Jesse James and
And Al Capone, the legends of these,
we have to put them all together and
multiply by five, and I was researching
this issue more than those stories, and
Well, you hear the forty-fifth
President of the United States, Donald
J. Trump, from Nashville, Tennessee.
As you heard, Mr. Trump referred to
Achievements achieved during
his rule in the United States
Including the recognition
of Israel in the Golan Heights
Relocation of the US Embassy in
Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
And most importantly, he said
he tore up or canceled the Iran
nuclear deal, which he believed
was the biggest help to Israel.
Criticizing the ongoing negotiations
and the Biden administration’s efforts
to return to the nuclear deal, he
said that there was now an opportunity
for Iran to sell its oil, especially
to China, in terms of Afghanistan.
he said taht the escape from there
was Regretfully, how they left there
And just as the day the
Americans left Afghanistan
was the worst day in
history in believe of the
45th President of the
United States, you see live
images of Nashville,
Tennessee, Donald J. Trump
Amnesty International has
called on the head of Iran’s
judiciary to end all forms
of corporal punishment
under Iranian law, including
amputation of fingers, and
to treat prisoners in
accordance with human dignity.
Amnesty International’s
letter following the news of the
imminent amputating the
fingers of eight prisoners in Tehran
And was written by the warning
of the Boroumand Foundation,
earlier Arash Sadeghi, a former
political prisoner, on Twitter
told about The transfer of a guillotine-like
device to Evin Prison was probably with
the aim of enforcing the sentence of
amputating the fingers of several prisoners
The UN Secretary-General
also called on the
Islamic Republic to
form a fact-finding mission
Allow an impartial inquiry into
the use of excessive violence during
protests and prisons. Antonio
Guterres statement called on the
Islamic Republic to immediately
release those detained for exercising
their right to freedom of
expression and arbitrary assembly
Guterres hoped that Iran would heed the advice
of human rights organizations and reporters
Hussein Raisi, a human
rights lawyer and professor
at Carleton University
in Toronto, is with us
Mr. Raeisi, it is
unbelievable that in 2022 one
would talk about a guillotine
that would cut off the
fingers. Why are the
officials of the Islamic Republic
doing this despite these
international pressures?
Yes, it is also completely
unbelievable that
for more than 50 years,
even Iran has acceded to
the Convention on
Civil and Political Rights,
according to which
one of its explicit articles
Execution of any inhuman cruel
punishment on the body like a whip
Amputation of hands,
stoning, amputation of legs are
forbidden and not only is it
forbidden, and even any country
that is a member of this
international treaty has not
the right to legislate to
carry out such punishments.
The Islamic Republic not only does
not fulfill its international obligations,
but also insists that I legislate in my
own country and do whatever I want.
While this is contrary to human
principles and is contrary to
even some of the issues and
regulations that exist inside Iran
And even parts of the
constitution even we can say
However, there are conflicts in the
constitution that can be confirmed
Such behavior, in today’s
world in terms of the principles of
criminology and the principles
of criminal law and criminal policy
And criminal policies are by no
means oppressive, punishments
inflicted on the body and
humiliating punishments.
Not only is there no benefit to society, but
it clearly causes people to become disabled
And in a situation where we
have economic misery that
results from corruption,
sanctions and many other issues
And the number of financial
crimes, especially theft,
is increasing. It is natural
that such punishments
will not have any effect
in terms of criminology,
crime reduction, prevention
and security for society.
Mr. Raisi, for example,
there had been cases
that at least reduced
the number of executions
sentences, such as
stoning, finally stoning was
increased at the
beginning of the revolution.
now they rarely do issue such a
sentence . Why about retaliation?
Why about amputation of fingers?
Amputation of feet? blinding?
why the international pressure
has not effected these ?
The Islamic Republic is in no
way responsive to international
pressures, including the UN
human rights mechanism in this area.
What changed the rules
of stoning are the views
that are more prevalent
in Sunni jurisprudence
And it is also current in Shiite
jurisprudence in such a way
that in all cases it is not possible
to implement Islamic limits
Especially where the implementation of Islamic
boundaries leads to the fallacy of Islam
What caused the stoning to stop
was clearly the deception of Islam
It was this word that said that
the implementation of the rules
of stoning caused the deception
of Islam and insult to Islam
Islam’s inferiority to Islamic rules and
Sharia rules, so they refuse to implement it
But the death penalty is
appropriate for it. In any case,
now in the world it is
completely illogical to accept
that someone is punished for
having sex with consent. Now
he is also sentenced to
death or in the form of stoning.
Therefore, the reason why the Islamic
Republic continues to insist on it is that one
actually considers itself a margin of
safety and does not want to retreat at all.
While Article 9 of the
Iranian Civil Code states
that any international
law that Iran has accepted
When I say Iran, I do not
mean the Islamic Republic,
if the previous
governments had accepted it
In this case, they accepted,
because the legal personality
of the government is transferred
to the next government,
the next government must
implement, so it must rely
on and must comply with
international regulations, but
Because these are the rules of
repression, it continues to be so
Thank you Hussein Raisi,
a human rights lawyer
and university professor
from Toronto, with us
After the British Supreme Court agreed to
extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to
the United States, the British Interior
Minister has now signed an extradition order.
This is not the end. Assange still
has 14 days to appeal the decision
Julian Assange’s wife Stella
Assange says today is a dark
day for freedom of the press
and democracy in Britain
A foreign power relied on
the crimes that Julian exposed
Crimes that were not
prosecuted and only hidden
Julian has done nothing
wrong. He has done everything.
Every journalist who
respects his work should do it.
When a journalist has
evidence that he should publish
if the government commits
crimes of corruption, this
duty to the people and
Julian’s duty to the people
has already imprisoned
him for more than three years.
Australian journalist Julian
Assange leaked hundreds
of thousands of US
government classified documents
and because of that he
is wanted. documents that
Americans say endangered
their national security
It has been years since WikiLeaks
released a video of an American
helicopter shooting at several people
on the streets of Baghdad. One of
the victims was Reuters journalist
Namir Noureddine. the release of
this vedio on that time became a
major news and political controversy
Who has been involved in various
lawsuits in the UK since 2011
He sought refuge in the
Ecuadorian embassy for
fear of being extradited
to the United States
He lived in this embassy for nearly six
years and was eventually arrested upon
revocation of his asylum and is still
being held in Belmarsh Prison, London.
About a year ago, Yahoo News revealed
that the US government, during the
presidency of Mike Pompeo over the
CIA, planned to kidnap and even assassinate
Assange, bringing Assange to the USA
will be one of the most controversial cases
on freedom of expression and freedom
of the press and bring it to a new stage.
Detroit Michigan Journalist
Mr. Memarian is with us. This Assange
story is really one of those weird
and bitter stories for journalists.
And often those who criticize the state of
freedom of expression in the West even say,
“Look at what they are doing to Assange in
one of the cradles of freedom of expression.”
In any case, in the United States,
as you well know, people can
publish even the most confidential
and highly confidential information.
If, for the sake of public
opinion, we had various
cases, for example, in
which people came to publish
information, but if the
people themselves had a role
in obtaining information, it
would be a crime anyway.
In cases where individuals leak information,
those who leak information are responsible
for being legally accountable to the
institutions that published that information.
In Mr. Assange’s case, what
is very complicated is that
Anyway, they say that the US Army
security officer named Chelsea Manning
that leaked the information . In fact,
there were hundreds of logs of contact
with a WikiLeaks person who says that
he is Mr. Assange and talked to him, so
It is said that this person conspired to
get information from Chelsea Manning, the
American security officer, and that is
why this is a crime in the United States.
Now it’s a legal debate about
how to access information
But the issue of freedom of
expression, and the fact that the leaked
information has led to some
misconceptions in the United States,
is also relevant. Many freedom
of expression associations believe
that this is contrary to the First
Amendment to the US Constitution.
And in terms of the form of the
case and in terms of the formation
of the case, the events that took
place in these ten or twelve years
I think it is one of the most
complex cases we have
in the field of freedom of
expression and the press
And if his extradition is finalized,
he will come to the United
States here and be tried. this
influence is not only on WikiLeaks
And Mr. Assange’s
personality with no dobt. it will
effect on journalism in
general isn’t that ture ?
This is certainly the
case. In cases involving
leaks of confidential
government information, it
will certainly have an
impact. The issue of their
extradition is still a
complex issue because
First of all, there are very
few cases for England that
can not return him, for
example, one of them is that
If a person has been returned from another
place to the UK, they can not do this well
Secondly, if their extradition causes them
to go to the destination country
There, their legal rights are not respected
or they do not have fair access to court and
things like that, which according to the
English court are such legal procedures, and
He will have access to justice
and will not be abused, but the effect
is to argue in the United States
anyway that this is a progressive
behavior by government agencies
that are working harder and harder
to protect government information,
and In a way, in fact, the courts
The field of activity and the field of
operation of the press, or now the press
definition is someone who writes
a blog or is online, so in my opinion,
one of the reasons that many
organizations oppose this issue and
many publications look at it is
that this issue should be considered.
The first amendment to the Constitution
is about freedom of expression
Look at it from that angle, which
is why they see it in the context of
a bigger project, a bigger File, a
bigger approach in the US government,
which over the years has tried to
use legal channels in some places as
much as it can. And prevent the
publication of news related to corruption
Or take other things and
confront those who are involved
in this process with very
large legal Consequences.

A few hours ago, the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) authorized the injection
of two vaccines, Covid-19 Modern and Pfizer,
for children under five years of age.
The organization allows the Pfizer
vaccine for children 6 months to 4
years old and the modern vaccine
for children 6 months to 17 years old.
Previously, the Pfizer vaccine
was allowed for people over 5
years of age, although Pfizer
had been allowed for children
aged five to 11 for about
eight months ago. According to
statistics, only about 29% of
this group was fully vaccinated.
Following the news, Moderna
shares rose one percent
while,Pfizer shares fell 1 percent
in trading on Friday morning
Mohammad Kazem Attari, a physician and social
medicine researcher from Washington, D.C.,
is with us. Mr. Attari it is more controversial
about children when parents have to decide
Our report also noted that
a significant number did not
do so and did not vaccinate
their children.How much do you
think this FTA approval of the
US Food and Drug Administration
can reassure parents to
vaccinate their children?
Let me first say that this is very
important because what we saw during the
covid and Corona was that children played
a key role in transmitting the disease.
While they themselves did
not have the symptoms, they
did not have the symptoms
but could transmit them.
So if this vaccination is
done and there is a situation
where this chain is stopped
in children, in fact, we
have made a great progress
even in transmitting the disease
to adults, now that this
reception is currently low.
After the covid stream,
unfortunately, not only for the
vaccination of covid and
Corona, but also for actually paying
attention to different areas
of health, unfortunately, the
families did not care about
the importance that it had before.
Mr. Attari, regarding the transfer that
you say, we also saw with our close
friends and colleagues that there
were many people who were vaccinated.
And still getting the virus
and even transmitting it I
want to ask how a 5 year
old child getting vaccinated
can prevent the virus from
being transmitted to this
other person because he
can still get the virus right?
It can actually get it, but it has a lower
risk of death and serious complications
And it has been shown that this vaccination
can also be effective in reducing
the transmission chain, at least as
we have seen when vaccinated globally.
And in some countries
in particular, significant
statistics were reached,
and at the same time
the good omicron
strain, which had less
pathogenicity than the
previous strains, was spread.
We saw that this death
and its process stopped
And now, despite the
fact that the infection may
occur, we no longer see
those serious and deadly
complications, so it
can also be effective in
reducing complications
if someone is infected.
And that it has an impact
on the transmission chain
That is why good
vaccination is so important
But the fact that the reception has
decreased, unfortunately, now the
situation is such that if the risk
and feeling of danger in families
decreases a little, the reception
will also decrease, as we see the
reception of the third and fourth
doses in adults now, it has decreased.
