This, just so you know, the NIAC, this guy Parsi, the whatever, Par- the person Parsi, they're the ones in charge of this, right? They started in 2002, "has faced intense scrutiny for past connections to the regime in Tehran.
S
35:37Sal GrecoHOST
Discovery during a 2008 defamation lawsuit originally filed by NIAC revealed several emails sent by Parsi to then-Iranian Ambassador, uh, UN Ambassador Javad Zarif, attempting to arrange meetings with Congress members.

Former FBI officials would later tell journalist Eli Lake that the attempts to arrange those meetings would require that person or entity to register as an agent of a foreign power, in this case Iran.

It has traditionally been a venue where adversaries can meet, and we've seen negotiations between the United States and Iran there in the past.
B
4:47Barbara SlavinGUEST
I remember very well a meeting between then U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and then Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif in 2013 that began there.
B
4:58Barbara SlavinGUEST
or advanced the process toward getting a nuclear agreement.
B

So what happened last week, I called it kabuki diplomacy, indirect contacts mediated by the Qataris, and then as we see now, rejected by President Trump, although there's some indications that maybe that's not final.

And and you've been talking about Greenland and the technates, which is Trump tweeted out the other day, a U.S. flag covering Greenland all the way down to Venezuela and the former Iranian president.

minister, Javad Zarif, in July, published for Foreign Affairs, the globalist magazine, talking about how we need a new Middle East.
H
14:56Hrvoje MorićHOST
And effectively, in that article, he called for a Middle Eastern Union modeled on the European Union.
H

What makes a good speech at the UNGA?

In 2019, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi corralled Somali President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed and Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta into a meeting which restored diplomatic ties between Mogadishu and Nairobi.
A

In 2013, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif had a chat which substantially cleared the path towards an eventual deal on limiting Iran's nuclear program.

So things can be done at UNGA, even if, as certain of the earlier examples illustrate, they may later be undone.
A

The question that hangs over every UNGA, and over the UN generally, is how can more get done? A rigorous enforcement of the voluntary 15-minute limit for UNGA speeches has appeal, but the practicalities are daunting.

That hasn't materialized into a national deal.
N
31:18Negar MortazaviGUEST
But that meeting in itself was so historic because during the Obama-Rohani time, Javad Zarif, the foreign minister, was the highest official, Iranian official that met with the Secretary of State.

H
40:25Hrvoje MorićGUEST
Javad Zarif, two months ago, the former Iranian, I think, vice president, published an article for Council on Foreign Relations where he said we need a European Union-style Middle East.

H
41:55Hrvoje MorićGUEST
yeah that's how it's the sc that was to bring the you know certain aspects of the european economies together and then over time that just they add more and more Pooling sovereignty, they call it.
H
42:09Hrvoje MorićGUEST
And to your point, Javad Zarif in his article said that the Middle East needs to work on regional everything, to creating a collective regional nuclear arms agreement, connectivity, travel connectivity, all sorts of financial connectivity.
