00:00First of all, do you think the chances of these talks in Istanbul are going to progress into something meaningful on Iran's nuclear program?
00:09Or what is the next step, do you think?
00:10Well, first of all, thank you for having me.
00:13You know, with Iran, there is nothing guaranteed that it's something going to be successful in this way.
00:18Because, you know, we've been trying to do a lot of diplomatic talk.
00:23We've been trying to also to bring Iranians to the table since many, many years.
00:27But, you know, they are trying always to escape from the dialogue.
00:31So this time, Germany is ready.
00:33Not only Germany, but the E3 are ready and willing to convince Iranians to come in a peaceful way.
00:40But if not, I think there is also another, let's say, we are very hard and very rushed in this time because there is nothing between.
00:48Are they going to cooperate with us, with the E3?
00:51Or if not, there is the snapbacks on the table.
00:54So this is, I think, this is the only weapon that they are, or let's say, the only paper that you are in the hand in the Europia right now.
01:01But for sure, we are coordinating also with the United States of America.
01:05And we are following what the United States of America is going to do.
01:08But first of all, we have to see.
01:10Let's be, I would say, optimistic about this meeting on Friday.
01:13Because this is also the preparing meetings before the end of summer.
01:17So I hope that they are going to do something which would be good for them and to also to, how do you say, to support also the peace movement in the region.
01:29But, you know, myself, in my opinion, let me say, as a security expert in that way,
01:36Iranians, they are always trying to do or to play the role of the gangster.
01:40They are never, we cannot trust them in a security way.
01:44Because we just, you know, sanctioned them on the 15th of July this month.
01:49It was with the support of Germany.
01:51European, they are sanctioning a group called Sendashi, called Sendashi.
01:56This is a group.
01:57And this group is, let's say that this is the arm of Iranian.
02:00They try to kidnapping and to killing also journalists and try also to kidnap many, many Iranian people who are living in Germany.
02:07And this is also a very and very clear threat for our national security in Europe.
02:12And not only for the national security, but also this is a big threat for the globe security.
02:17And we try to do our best.
02:18And we sanction them.
02:20This is a very good thing.
02:21So I'm very, I think, let's say this is a very strong move from the Europeans since many, many years.
02:27So we are doing good at this time.
02:28Especially we have now a new government with our leadership from Friedrich Meers.
02:33This man, we call it in Germany, a maher, means that this man, a play power.
02:38So this is something, a power player in the globe.
02:41And I think he's going to do good things for the globe, not only for the Europe.
