00:01Well, let's get some analysis now on this story across live to the president for the

00:06Center of International Relations and Sustainable Development, former UN General Assembly President

00:12Vukh Jeremig.

00:13Thank you very much for joining us from St. Petersburg.

00:16I want to start by asking you the fact that we've only got several countries, this includes

00:21Russia and China, who have outright condemned the Israeli offensive at last week's United

00:26Nations Security Council meeting.

00:28Why do you think other states have either been quiet on this or actively supporting

00:35Israel in its attacks?

00:41Well, it's no secret that the main supporter of Israel, not just in this action, but over

00:48several decades was the United States.

00:52And the United States is a pretty big actor in the international arena and an actor that

00:58is right now pursuing a set of unilateral moves, especially in the economic and trade area,

01:08that a lot of countries are concerned about.

01:12In other words, Trump tariffs are something that a number of countries around the world

01:18have to deal with and have to deal with a pretty nonlinear or, if you will, erratic way in which

01:25it's perceived that the American administration is conducting these negotiations.

01:31So you don't really want to be in a shooting range, proverbially, sort of say.

01:35You don't want to be in a shooting range on the wrong side of the American administration

01:39at a time when the American administration can easily hurt you overnight in economic terms

01:46as part of this big trade war or, if you will, the Liberation Day American policy.

01:57Yeah, what we've had in the last few hours, this confirmation that Israel has struck

02:02at Iran's Arak heavy water nuclear reactor, targeting what the IDF has claimed is a core

02:10facility to produce the weapons-grade plutonium.

02:13Given that this was an attack on a nuclear facility and it's not the first time, what's

02:20your reaction to that, considering the sort of danger that that could present?

02:28Well, it's definitely a very dangerous thing and, you know, shooting a nuclear facility anywhere,

02:36you know, in the world, be it in Iran or in Ukraine or wherever, is potentially, you know,

02:45something of catastrophic consequences. But the goal of this military action of Israel is clear.

02:52They are, after destroying the Iranian nuclear program, at all costs. So this is something

03:00that they are not going to stop, I fear, before it's done. And therefore, I expect that there are

03:10more negative news to come from that part of the world, I'm afraid, in the coming days.

03:16Yeah, you say more negative news to come. We are now in the seventh day of both sides sort of

03:21attacking and the retaliatory attacks. The UNSC has condemned this escalation that we've seen

03:27between Iran and Israel, calling both parties to silence the guns. You seem to be on the side of

03:35the ground. I don't think that that's about to happen. But what do you think that could be done

03:39potentially to de-escalate this?

03:45Well, at this stage, I believe that we are days or maybe even hours away from America,

03:53you know, stepping in in a far more decisive way into the fray. I personally think it would be a very

04:00bad thing, short term, mid term and long term, including for America. I sincerely hope that this

04:09doesn't happen, despite the fact that all indicators are, you know, aiming towards America making this

04:16decision. If America does make this decision, then I would see it very, very difficult, the Trump's

04:25pronounced, uh, uh, wished legacy to be a peacemaker, to be an American president that, uh, is not starting wars,

04:34unlike all the others. Uh, I see that, uh, you know, hanging on a thread and the next, uh, hours or days are

04:44probably going to be the most decisive and mostly important moments in terms of what Donald Trump's legacy

04:50is going to be in the future. Uh, just want to, uh, switch gears now because you are in St. Petersburg

04:57right now at the International Economic Forum. Uh, just first of all, what are your impressions of

05:04the forum this year?

05:05Uh, very dynamic, just like the last years. Um, you wouldn't be, uh, able to tell, uh, if you were just

05:17to be parachuted to hear, uh, which country you were in, you would certainly not think that this

05:23is a country that is under sanctions or this is a country under significant duress. So, um, the

05:30discussions, um, are interesting. They are dynamic, uh, but it is overshadowed by what is currently going

05:38on in the Middle East. Uh, despite the fact that not too many panels are directly addressing this

05:45particular topic, this is the talk on the corridors. I have heard very few conversations other than

05:53what's going to happen in the next couple of days in the Middle East and what will be the long-term

05:57consequences of that. That is the talk of the day here in St. Petersburg. Yeah, absolutely. Because

06:02obviously there was an impact there on the economy of the world as well. We'll have to leave it there.

06:07Thank you very much for joining us. That's, uh, Vukh Jeremek, who's president of the Center for

06:11International Relations and Sustainable Development and also a former UN General Assembly president

06:18in St. Petersburg for us and talking to us about the situation between Israel and Iran. Thank you very much.
