00:03Iran just put the UK on notice, not with a threat of retaliation, but with a warning
00:10about self-defense. And Tehran says international law backs them up. Here's what just happened.
00:16Friday, a phone call between two foreign ministers, Iran's Abbas Aragachi and Britain's
00:23Ed Miliband. On paper, routine diplomacy. In reality, a pointed message. Aragachi told Miliband
00:31directly, if the UK helps anyone attack Iran, even under old defense agreements, that's off the table,
00:40completely unacceptable. Here's the part that makes this more than just angry words. Aragachi leaned on
00:47international law, specifically the UN's definition of aggression. His argument, if a country lets an
00:55aggressor use its bases or territory to launch an attack, that country becomes part of the
01:01aggression. And that means the nation under attack, Iran in this case, has the legal right to respond
01:08in self-defense against whoever enabled it. That's the real headline here. This isn't just a diplomatic
01:15spat. It's Iran laying legal groundwork publicly for what it might do next. So what actually matters
01:23going forward? Does Britain change anything about those base arrangements? Does Iran escalate its
01:29rhetoric or its actions if nothing changes? And does anyone actually invoke this self-defense framing
01:36in a real confrontation? Because right now, this isn't just a diplomatic spat. It's Iran laying legal
01:44groundwork publicly for what it might do next. Well, we expected the new British government to act more wisely
01:52than the previous government. Unfortunately, we saw that it practically followed the same path, perhaps even
02:01worse. We had and still have information that during the military aggression by America and the
02:09Zionist regime against Iran over the past 40 days,
02:15the United States used British military bases to support its aggressive operations against Iran.
02:27This action, by any standard we consider and which Britain and other European countries happen to claim,
02:36is contrary to international law, violates Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the Charter,
02:44and is in no way acceptable. Its explicit statement by the new British Prime Minister is, well,
02:52an admission and acknowledgement of complicity in committing an internationally wrongful act. The
03:01British government must be held accountable. Experience has shown that appeasement toward the other side.
03:14The aggressor attempting to appease a party that explicitly violates international law will in no way ensure international peace and
03:23security. It will merely further undermine the credibility of those supporting this process.
03:28Yes. Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, the British side surely knows that any interference in this matter will only complicate
03:49the situation and will not help resolve it at all.
03:54If the UK is sincere and if there are other parties concerned about the situation in the Strait of Hormuz,
04:02they must address the root of the issue.
04:06I suggest that the British authorities take a look at the remarks made by the Foreign Minister of Luxembourg at
04:17the ASEAN Summit a few days ago.
04:20And for once, be honest, admit that their cause and instigator of the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz
04:29is none other than America and its military aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
04:38The Strait of Hormuz was open before the 28th of February. The current situation has no cause or reason other
04:46than the aggressive actions of America and the Zionist regime against Iran.
