[00:00:30] Dear and respected viewers, peace be upon you, good
[00:00:33] morning. We are with you with another
[00:00:36] section of the news on the News Channel. The President
[00:00:39] said in a televised interview that Iran is not seeking war or
[00:00:43] expansionism, and only protects
[00:00:47] its defensive and security capabilities. Mr. Pezeshkian
[00:00:50] said that if pressure and threats against Iran stop,
[00:00:54] there will be no reason to continue the tension.
[00:00:57] We do not want anyone to coerce us, we will not
[00:01:01] succumb to coercion. Since we are not going to
[00:01:04] succumb to coercion, the best way is for
[00:01:08] them to leave us alone and we leave them alone. But they
[00:01:11] are not leaving us alone, not because we want
[00:01:14] to fight them. They do not want us to be humiliated.
[00:01:18] That's why this process has continued. Otherwise, in these
[00:01:22] talks, they wanted to completely disarm
[00:01:25] us. Well,
[00:01:28] if they disarm us, they should come and flatten us like
[00:01:32] Gaza, destroy all our land and water, and we wouldn't be able to do anything.
[00:01:35] Right? We do
[00:01:37] this and accept
[00:01:41] that they take all our military and defensive power from us
[00:01:44] and we bow before them, which we won't do. But we do
[00:01:48] not invade other countries. We are not looking for
[00:01:52] land, I don't know, to take land
[00:01:55] and expand, unlike the Zionist Israel, which is in fact
[00:01:59] looking for a Greater Israel. We are not looking for a Greater Iran.
[00:02:02] We consider all these countries our brothers.
[00:02:07] good morning. O God, keep The Minister of Foreign Affairs emphasized the
[00:02:10] necessity of integration of the regional countries and reliance on domestic
[00:02:14] capabilities. Mr. Araghchi, in a message addressed to neighbors,
[00:02:18] referred to the readiness and capabilities of the Iranian armed forces
[00:02:21] and declared that the power of the Islamic Republic
[00:02:25] against the most advanced military force in the world
[00:02:28] has been proven. The Minister of Foreign Affairs addressed the neighbors
[00:02:31] and emphasized that if Muslims are united,
[00:02:34] they will stand against any threat,
[00:02:38] and now is the time to rely on our own capabilities
[00:02:42] and strengthen true brotherhood.
[00:02:45] The leader of the Senate
[00:02:47] Democrats in the US called for Trump's removal. Chuck Schumer, the leader
[00:02:51] of the Senate Democrats in the US, criticized
[00:02:55] Donald Trump's policies and called for the removal
[00:02:58] of the president.
[00:03:02] An employment report shows that the US lost 23,000 jobs
[00:03:06] last month due to Trump's policies and
[00:03:09] his failed war. He stressed that
[00:03:13] Trump's costly war, chaotic economic policies,
[00:03:16] and corruption have thrown the
[00:03:20] US economy into disarray, but it is American workers
[00:03:24] who are paying the price for his policies.
[00:03:26] A former intelligence
[00:03:29] officer of the US Navy said that the imposition of the new
[00:03:33] Iranian order in the Strait of Hormuz and the inability of the
[00:03:36] US Navy to reopen this
[00:03:39] strait are more than a humiliation for the US,
[00:03:42] and mean that Iran is forcing the US
[00:03:46] to obey it.
[00:03:49] An intelligence warning in the
[00:03:52] US that turned into a strategic reality in West Asia
[00:03:55] led to a change in the equations
[00:03:59] of the Strait of Hormuz. This
[00:04:01] is where the unintended consequences and
[00:04:04] not listening to the intelligence community show their results.
[00:04:08] The Strait of Hormuz was completely open before the US attack on
[00:04:11] Iran, but now the Iranians have realized that they have
[00:04:15] a strategic leverage, and unfortunately there is
[00:04:18] no turning back. Malcolm Nance, a former
[00:04:21] intelligence officer of the US Navy, says that Trump's
[00:04:24] disregard for these warnings has now pushed the
[00:04:27] US even out of the negotiations between Iran
[00:04:31] and Oman for managing the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:04:34] This was a bilateral negotiation that is ongoing
[00:04:38] between Oman and Iran. Initially, when the Iranians were charging
[00:04:41] $2 million for each ship to pass, Trump
[00:04:45] said: "The US will blockade Iran and collect 20% tolls from each ship."
[00:04:49] But now that with the inability of the
[00:04:53] US Navy to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Iran wants a higher
[00:04:56] percentage of the value of each shipment, Trump says the tolls must
[00:05:00] be zero percent. Iran's initial $2 million was much
[00:05:04] less than the figures being discussed now. Therefore, if an agreement happens,
[00:05:07] it will be between Iran and Oman, and the US must
[00:05:11] accept it.
[00:05:15] A report by the Institute for Strategic and International
[00:05:19] Studies in the US shows a significant decrease in the country's missile
[00:05:22] reserves, including THAAD and Patriot systems,
[00:05:26] providing another picture of Washington's military
[00:05:30] limitations.
[00:05:34] It will take many years to reproduce these missiles
[00:05:37] and return to pre-war levels, because they are very
[00:05:41] expensive.
[00:05:47] This picture has further limited America's options
[00:05:50] and left it with no choice but to accept
[00:05:54] the Iranian order in the Strait of Hormuz. And
[00:05:58] Donald Trump does not have many options.
[00:06:01] Military advisors tell him that given the shortage of ammunition on the one hand
[00:06:05] and the ineffectiveness of air attacks on the other, a ground attack
[00:06:08] would also be a major blow to the US.
[00:06:12] Therefore, there are no options. This means
[00:06:16] the formation of a new equation in the Strait of Hormuz
[00:06:19] that will be recorded in history.
[00:06:21] I think
[00:06:24] history books will be written on this topic, about
[00:06:27] how a global superpower used all its military power
[00:06:30] against Iran, but neither learned from history
[00:06:34] nor paid attention to hypothetical simulations that said this
[00:06:38] result was inevitable. Now, Iran has emerged as a new power
[00:06:41] that controls the Strait of Hormuz. Roqieh
[00:06:45] Hoveida, IRIB News Agency. The Secretary-General of the
[00:06:47] Iraqi Chaldean Martyrs emphasized
[00:06:51] that the response to the aggressions of the US and Saudi Arabia
[00:06:54] is still on the agenda of the Islamic
[00:06:58] Resistance of Iraq. Abu Ala Walai
[00:07:01] said that the decision to postpone this response was made at the request
[00:07:05] of the members of the Iraqi Coordination Framework, and especially
[00:07:08] Hadi Ameri and a number of independent
[00:07:11] politicians. He emphasized: "The time, volume
[00:07:15] and type of response have not
[00:07:18] However, the principle of response as a national religious
[00:07:21] duty remains in place. Walai
[00:07:25] also called for using the existing opportunity to assert Iraq's rights
[00:07:28] proportionate to the damages inflicted on this country.
[00:07:31] Protesters against the framework
[00:07:34] agreement between the Lebanese government and the Zionist regime
[00:07:38] gathered in central Beirut.
[00:07:42] Simultaneously with the publication of the details of an agreement
[00:07:46] that, according to Lebanese media, has brought no achievements
[00:07:49] for Beirut, Lebanese citizens chanted slogans against normalization
[00:07:53] and compromise with the Zionist regime, expressing
[00:07:56] their opposition to the normalization of relations with this regime.
[00:07:59] Al-Akhbar newspaper also reported that the Rome
[00:08:02] negotiations ended without tangible results, and the Zionist
[00:08:06] regime conditioned its complete withdrawal from southern Lebanon
[00:08:10] on the disarmament of Hezbollah and the implementation of its security conditions.
[00:08:14] The next round of negotiations The next round of negotiations
[00:08:17] will be held on September 1st,
[00:08:20] or August 31st.
[00:08:22] The cool,
[00:08:24] snow-covered highlands of Meshkinshahr
[00:08:28] are a destination for tourists. Meshkinshahr,
[00:08:31] with its pristine nature
[00:08:33] and the slopes of Sabalan, has always been a point of
[00:08:37] interest for domestic and foreign tourists. In the
[00:08:40] summer, the highlands and snow-covered areas
[00:08:44] of this region are among the main destinations for nature
[00:08:47] lovers.
[00:08:52] With the completion of snow removal operations and the reopening
[00:08:55] of avalanche-prone points on the nomadic roads in
[00:08:59] Meshkinshahr, conditions have been provided for citizens and travelers
[00:09:03] to visit the upper highlands of the region.
[00:09:06] Can a car travel here? Yes, it can easily come.
[00:09:10] Where are you from? I'm from Tehran. Dear. Well, what's
[00:09:13] the difference between the weather here and in Tehran? It's very different.
[00:09:17] There it's 42-43 degrees now, but here it's exactly,
[00:09:21] I think, about 15 degrees, 14-15 degrees.
[00:09:24] Well, they should come and see this, it's a pity, it's really
[00:09:27] a pity. This place is truly exceptional. Here you can see snow
[00:09:31] in summer at a high altitude. It's really something unique
[00:09:35] that we have here. In some provinces,
[00:09:39] where the temperature is above 50 degrees, here it's freezing.
[00:09:42] It's really a shame that all our compatriots
[00:09:46] are not here. The beauties of Sabalan here
[00:09:50] are unique. The snow it has, the rivers and springs it
[00:09:54] has are truly unique. What month are
[00:09:57] we in now? It's mid-Mordad (August).
[00:10:00] It's 1405. Here the weather is really great, the nature is great.
[00:10:04] Full of energy. The highlands of Meshkinshahr are a combination
[00:10:07] of different seasons of the year. The nature here is unique
[00:10:11] in this region. Firstly, these mountains
[00:10:15] over there, the water comes directly from the top of the mountains.
[00:10:18] Secondly, this meadow and everything is
[00:10:21] green. It's the same higher up.
[00:10:25] What's your advice to those who haven't come to Meshkinshahr and haven't seen this place?
[00:10:29] I think it's the best place.
[00:10:32] But the common advice of all tourists is to come and
[00:10:35] enjoy it, but don't harm the nature
[00:10:38] and its animals. Collect your trash and take it with you.
[00:10:42] Meshkinshahr is beautiful in every season. Meshkinshahr
[00:10:45] must be seen. Javad Dehghani, IRIB News Agency,
[00:10:49] August 2026,
[00:10:52] Meshkinshahr County.
[00:10:55] Thank you for your attention, please stay with the News Channel.
[00:12:19] today, and of course the special program "Hello Reporter" on
[00:12:24] Mordad (August). We dedicate
[00:12:42] you are well wherever you are. I hope you have a good and happy week ahead of you. I also
[00:12:46] congratulate Reporter's Day to all my good
[00:12:49] friends and colleagues in various media, especially the IRIB News
[00:12:53] Agency. Ms. let us remember
[00:12:56] all the martyrs of the media, all the martyrs of the media, both those who were
[00:13:00] in the national media and the media
[00:13:04] martyrs who, we must say, were active in the first
[00:13:07] days after the victory of the Islamic Revolution. Yes, in
[00:13:11] this field, they were martyred, martyrs of the imposed
[00:13:14] war until the third imposed
[00:13:18] war. Let's particularly remember our martyred journalist
[00:13:21] and media colleagues, especially our colleagues in the airplane
[00:13:26] who were martyred, and of course our two esteemed colleagues who
[00:13:29] were martyred in the 12-day war and in the attack that the Zionist
[00:13:33] regime had on the glass building. Let's also have a special remembrance for Martyr Mahmoud
[00:13:37] Saremi, whose anniversary is on the 17th of Mordad
[00:13:41] and a number of our diplomats were martyred in
[00:13:44] 2026 in Mazar-e-Sharif,
[00:13:47] Afghanistan. Let's also commemorate this loved one,
[00:13:51] on the 17th of Mordad. Reporter's
[00:13:54] Day was named in his honor and in his
[00:13:57] memory, and it became an excuse
[00:14:00] to appreciate all those active in the field of news,
[00:14:04] especially our dear journalists. Today, we will
[00:14:07] be with you in the special program "Hello Reporter" until
[00:14:11] around 7 PM. Stay with us.
[00:17:11] Good morning to you, thank you for being with us in the special program
[00:17:15] "Hello Reporter" on the seventeenth of Mordad (August)
[00:17:17] 2026. Let's go to one of our other
[00:17:21] journalist colleagues, Mr. Ziyaei, from the sports
[00:17:24] group of IRIB News Agency. Hello, Mr. Ziyaei. Hello to
[00:17:28] you and all the good viewers of the News Channel. I wish you all the best
[00:17:32] and congratulate this Reporter's Day to all
[00:17:35] the hardworking and, you could say,
[00:17:39] pioneering and leading individuals in the field
[00:17:42] of news who perform their work with integrity. Hello to you, Mr. Hosseini.
[00:17:46] I also congratulate you. You are one of
[00:17:50] the hardworking ones, and you were present every moment with Ms. Hajipour
[00:17:53] during this 12-day war. During the so-called Ramadan
[00:17:57] war, we provided news for our
[00:18:00] dear people along with all our friends, Mr. Ziyaei, especially during the
[00:18:04] recent war, the third imposed war.
[00:18:09] He was not necessarily active in the sports field, he was active in various
[00:18:12] sectors. Yes, especially attending night gatherings among people.
[00:18:16] Yes, it's a duty. When the country is in a special
[00:18:19] situation, Ms. Hajipour, it's everyone's duty. Well, after all,
[00:18:23] we also have role models in the field of news. Martyr
[00:18:26] Morteza Avini, his famous quote,
[00:18:30] and the martyrs who were on this path, Nima
[00:18:34] Rajabpour, dear, we were with him at the News Channel. Martyrs of S100.
[00:18:38] I was very happy outside the program, Ms. Hajipour was very
[00:18:41] perceptive and appropriately mentioned the dear martyrs
[00:18:45] who went to gather news and that tragic incident
[00:18:48] happened. Well, we are representatives of these martyrs.
[00:18:52] We must be grateful and be able to fulfill our mission
[00:18:55] well, Ms. Hajipour, and be able
[00:18:59] to sacrifice ourselves for our country's
[00:19:02] flag. It's not just the sports field. Whenever it's needed,
[00:19:05] wherever help
[00:19:08] is needed, we must be there and give
[00:19:10] our best. The same was true in the recent war.
[00:19:14] Well, circumstances became such that the Zionist-American
[00:19:18] enemy suddenly attacked
[00:19:22] our beloved country during negotiations. Our dear
[00:19:25] leader was martyred. It was very sad.
[00:19:29] And these events that happened, but everyone considered it their duty
[00:19:32] to be present, each in their own way. And I hope that
[00:19:36] we have been able to fulfill our journalistic mission well, a small
[00:19:39] part of the efforts of these martyrs and these dear people who
[00:19:43] were always present in the field. When we saw the people, Ms. Hajipour,
[00:19:47] in the field, it gave us strength and we were very happy.
[00:19:50] Our energy doubled so that in the coming days
[00:19:54] we could deliver the news better for them. Mr. Hosseini, Mr. Ziyaei,
[00:19:57] when the war started, I think you were at international
[00:20:01] competitions. You went by plane and came
[00:20:04] back by land. Yes, the memories of the war.
[00:20:11] The competitions in the 12-day war, when we, Mr. Hosseini,
[00:20:14] Ms. Hajipour, arrived at the Futsal World
[00:20:18] Championships in Italy, in Rome, when
[00:20:21] we arrived, it was exactly one or two hours, maybe less than an hour.
[00:20:25] We just put down our suitcases and the 12-day war started
[00:20:28] last June. Well, we were watching the news.
[00:20:32] The person next to me, my roommate, told me it was unbelievable that such
[00:20:36] an event had happened.
[00:20:38] Then I saw the news coming one after another. One of the notable
[00:20:42] points was that from the next morning, Turkey was very supportive
[00:20:45] of our country, and they also
[00:20:49] strongly condemned the Zionist child-killing regime.
[00:20:52] It was very reassuring to see such a Muslim country
[00:20:56] supporting Iran, Turkey,
[00:20:59] and they were always following the news.
[00:21:02] Believe me, if it wasn't for the
[00:21:05] people, for the happiness of these people,
[00:21:08] we would not have been able to win that championship. But these war
[00:21:12] conditions that arose, Mr. Hosseini, made the players even more determined
[00:21:16] to win. This determination and these conditions, by
[00:21:20] God, led to the team becoming champions. Brazil was there,
[00:21:24] Croatia was there, very powerful teams. But fortunately,
[00:21:27] we were able to become champions there. Our country also got through
[00:21:31] that 12-day war, and thank God, we were able to overcome
[00:21:35] those conditions. But this was one of those events where we went for competitions,
[00:21:38] and there was nothing we could do. The only thing we could do in those
[00:21:42] competitions was to support our national team
[00:21:45] and bring immense joy to our people.
[00:21:48] And that itself, in the interpretation of some,
[00:21:52] even in the field of sports, perhaps the effort of those children
[00:21:56] was a sign of jihad. Now, let's see how this goes.
[00:21:59] Thank you very much. You're welcome.
[00:22:03] Tell us about the memories of the third imposed war. We used to go
[00:22:07] together with Mehdi Pourhoseini.
[00:22:09] Seyed Mehdi Pourhoseini is very close in the
[00:22:13] sports group. Yes, Seyed Mehdi Pourhoseini is greatly missed
[00:22:17] here. I send him my greetings from here. He worked very hard.
[00:22:20] We were together day and night. I remember those moments
[00:22:24] when we were at Namaz Square, live connections, reports
[00:22:28] that Namaz Square was established. Yes, it was one
[00:22:31] of the squares that people came to much more enthusiastically
[00:22:34] than other places. Let me tell you this memory: It was a gathering of people
[00:22:38] and an attack also happened. Namaz Square, due to the extensive
[00:22:42] presence of people, received more attention. On one
[00:22:45] of the days, one or two days, one or two hours before
[00:22:49] the arrival of the people, they targeted Namaz Square.
[00:22:53] Both the Wala Cultural Center behind it and the square were targeted.
[00:22:57] And they completely disrupted the decoration and conditions
[00:23:00] there. But I think the people, more people came. There were sounds
[00:23:04] of air defense and drones and everything, but the people of our country,
[00:23:08] you saw that Youssef Salami was going
[00:23:11] there under those conditions, they were attacking, but people were there in different
[00:23:14] locations, different places. We ourselves were present,
[00:23:18] but people were more enthusiastic than us. On one of the days,
[00:23:22] since we ourselves had a group from the affected areas, the day I went for
[00:23:25] a plateau, for a live connection, Ms. Hajipour was in one of the streets
[00:23:29] of Tehran, which, despite the warnings from friends that
[00:23:33] it had its own dangers, we had to go because
[00:23:36] it was the affected areas group. at 2 AM, in the morning. Yes,
[00:23:40] yes, we went, and while we were having the connection,
[00:23:43] a Zionist-American fighter jet came and
[00:23:47] I think it targeted us from 80-50 meters away.
[00:23:56] We tried to broadcast a live report and show that war crime
[00:23:59] to the world. Let me also tell you about
[00:24:03] one of the sad events, Ms. Hajipour, Mr. Hosseini, our hearts
[00:24:06] were heavy due to the special conditions we had
[00:24:09] in Azadi Stadium, 12,000 people. Well, since we had
[00:24:13] volleyball memories, Ms. Hajipour herself is a sports person.
[00:24:16] I know we played futsal and volleyball in that 12,000-seat stadium.
[00:24:51] This situation that has arisen, this war, will reach its intended destination
[00:24:54] and with success. Mr. Ziyaei, you mentioned Mr. Salami. Mr. Hosseini,
[00:24:58] Mr. Salami really wanted to participate in the special program today,
[00:25:02] but he had to go to his program and prepare a report. He
[00:25:05] apologized, but we said that since Mr. Ziyaei also mentioned him,
[00:25:09] he really put in a lot of effort in the gathering. Mr.
[00:25:12] Hosseini, both esteemed individuals put in a lot
[00:25:16] of effort. Let's remember both
[00:27:19] program "Hello Reporter" on Reporter's Day, August
[00:27:22] 8, 2026. We want
[00:27:25] to go to another of our journalist colleagues
[00:27:28] who is in the market. Hello, Mr. In the name
[00:27:31] of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I extend my greetings and respect
[00:27:35] to you, our dear colleagues in the News Channel broadcast.
[00:27:39] I want to thank them and all the dear people who, as always,
[00:27:43] support the "Hello Reporter" program. I would like to
[00:27:46] congratulate you
[00:28:46] They would enter and report. The neighbors, as soon as they
[00:28:49] realized that the TV camera was there and the inspector from the Chamber
[00:28:52] of Guilds had come, they would pull down the shutters so that they wouldn't
[00:28:56] go towards them, because of any violation they might have had. They would forget
[00:28:59] to put the attachments inside the store and everyone would be outside. Yes,
[00:29:03] you paid close attention to this report. That was a violation that they sometimes
[00:29:07] erased. You know that detergents had a price increase,
[00:29:10] but they didn't stop at that price increase that the Support Organization
[00:29:14] had legally allowed to happen. And they would come and go and
[00:29:17] erase these. Let's not say how they would go. Now they will learn.
[00:29:21] This is an educational matter. And they would erase them.
[00:29:25] Well, we went with the inspectors. We entered,
[00:29:29] for example, a store, a shop.
[00:29:33] I came out for a moment and told the inspector, "Let's not do anything that will make
[00:29:37] them lose their livelihood." I said, "Brother, from the beginning
[00:29:41] of that street to its end, everyone closed down." Meaning
[00:29:44] the items were left outside. We said, "Well, so everyone was
[00:29:48] committing violations? So everyone was cheating?" We have
[00:29:51] 20 seconds left in the news section. Mr.
[00:29:55] Hosseini, if you agree, let's watch the upcoming news segment
[00:29:59] with you and Mr. Anari, and then continue with Mr. Anari's
[00:30:03] memories of the market streets that, due to his presence
[00:30:06] and the inspectors, pulled down their shutters and left.
[00:30:10] The unfortunate ones who are not given a chance. Yes, the unfortunate ones who are not given a chance.
[00:30:13] Let's watch the news segment, we'll be back.

[00:30:35] against the Zionist regime. Pakistan's Defense Minister described

[00:30:42] as a new opportunity to strengthen unity in the Islamic world and address
[00:30:46] common challenges, saying: "Israel is a threat
[00:30:49] to all of us, so Muslim countries should
[00:30:52] pursue strengthening cohesion and a unified approach to counter
[00:30:55] this threat." Khawaja Muhammad Asif, in response to the joint
[00:30:59] defense pact.
