Alright, now let's talk about the four seafarers and Iran had attacked that particular vessel because it's, is it Israeli-owned or supports Israel?
00:15.3
Well, it's a Portuguese flag vessel but the company owning it has connections with Israel.
00:20.9
And it's the same template being used. And yes, it's been taken over. It's the second ship which Iran has taken in recent times.
00:34.9
So the first was MV San Nicolas and we already had the 18 seafarers sent home and now we still have four in this new ship.
00:44.6
They're a minority among the seafarers. The largest is the Indian contingent. There's 17 Indian seafarers.
00:50.9
But how can we guarantee they're safe? How would we know that?
00:55.8
Yes. Last night at around midnight, they were allowed by the Iranian and I shall diplomatically say hosts, the Iranians to contact their families.
01:12.9
Each of the four contacted their families and were able to speak. They were able to speak, sorry, for, they spoke for an hour.
01:20.4
With each of the four.
01:20.9
With each of the four.
01:20.9
With each relatives. So they are fine. They're being fed. They're all right. Of course, nobody wants to be in this situation.
01:29.5
But they've been told that they will be released soon. All of them. All of the seafarers. Let's hope.
01:39.5
And today we're meeting with the Iranian ambassador about it.
01:43.7
I'm curious. Is the Philippine government issuing a statement against Iran?
01:50.1
Is there a formula?
01:50.9
Is there a formal statement at this point?
01:52.9
No, we've, of course, the UN Secretary General has already spoken on behalf of the world community that we do not support an international or any violent attack.
02:05.2
On the other hand, the specific DFA statement released yesterday is that we don't want an escalation of tensions.
02:11.9
President Biden, President of the USA, with whom we have an alliance, has himself told Prime Minister Netanyahu,
02:20.9
Well, I will, you know, it's, you, you, you won, in effect, because nobody got injured.
02:28.6
So, kung baga, if I will use the vernacular, patas na. Mataki kayo, mataki ng Iran.
02:34.9
And that is, in fact, the position of Iran.
02:37.7
In their words, they say, they consider the matter closed.
02:41.2
So they do not intend to continue further.
02:44.0
So let us see how Israel acts.
02:46.0
If they do act against Iran, they will be facing three fronts.
02:51.5
They still have the issue with Gaza.
02:53.7
There's Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
02:57.7
And the Iranians, whom they accuse of being the actual patrons of the Hezbollah and the Hamas.
03:05.7
But I think world peace and regional stability would be aided if there's no more escalation of these tensions.
03:13.9
And no more attack, attacks back and forth.
03:20.9
Thank you for watching!
