Protesters [00:00:12] gathered in central Beirut to protest a framework agreement [00:00:15] between the Lebanese government and the Zionist regime. [00:00:18] Simultaneously, with the release of details of an agreement that, [00:00:22] according to Lebanese media, has brought no achievements for Beirut, [00:00:25] Lebanese citizens chanted slogans against normalization [00:00:29] and reconciliation with the Zionist regime, announcing their opposition [00:00:33] to normalizing relations with this regime. [00:00:36] Al-Akhbar newspaper also reported that the Rome negotiations ended [00:00:40] without tangible results, and the Zionist [00:00:43] regime has conditioned a full withdrawal from southern Lebanon [00:00:47] on Hezbollah fulfilling its security conditions. [00:00:50] The next [00:00:52] round of negotiations [00:00:57] will be the first. [00:01:06] Following Saudi Arabia's maritime blockade by Yemen, [00:01:09] oil tankers are hiding their destination in the Red Sea. [00:01:13] Bloomberg reported that oil tankers entering [00:01:17] the Red Sea to load Saudi oil are declaring their destination [00:01:21] as the Suez Canal in Egypt instead of [00:01:24] the country's ports. Also, ship crews [00:01:28] are trying to hide their movements by turning off their transponders. [00:01:32] Yemeni armed forces announced that since [00:01:35] the beginning of the maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia, they have forced [00:01:38] 29 Saudi ships to change course and [00:01:42] have targeted several ships. [00:01:44] On [00:01:48] the anniversary of the martyrdom of Martyr [00:01:51] Radani Pour, Golestan of Isfahan Martyrs hosted [00:01:54] comrades of this martyr. Martyr Mostafa [00:01:57] Radani Pour was martyred [00:02:00] in 1362 in Operation Valfajr 2 in the [00:02:03] Haj Omran region. [00:02:06] If [00:02:08] you see Islam showing its power [00:02:12] and flourishing in Iran, [00:02:14] it didn't happen [00:02:18] for free. Mostafa Radani [00:02:21] Pour, an Isfahani fighter who started defending his religion [00:02:25] and homeland from the beginning of the imposed war. How long [00:02:28] have you been on the front? It's been about two weeks [00:02:32] since I joined the brothers [00:02:34] in this front from Kurdistan. A fighter [00:02:38] who, in his own words, took on the war of men and tanks. [00:02:42] We are fighting with blood, [00:02:45] and our Karbala of Hussein is also with [00:02:48] blood. Karbala happened. Don't think [00:02:52] that our people, our children, are killed for free. [00:02:55] No, by God, now on the anniversary of his martyrdom, his comrades. [00:02:58] شهادتش همرزمان. [00:03:17] One week after his wedding ceremony, he returned to the [00:03:20] battlefront. [00:03:23] When I heard the call of "Yanusrani Hussein," [00:03:27] I answered. Anywhere and in any city [00:03:30] or land, on the night of the operation, the enemy's fire was heavy. We [00:03:34] were going towards the enemy. Just as we wanted to go towards the enemy's [00:03:38] line, we broke through. We heard a voice coming from [00:03:41] the front of the battalion. I looked, and it was Mr. Mostafa [00:03:44] Radani, Martyr Radani Pour. He was a constant [00:03:47] companion to another martyr, namely Hussein Kharrazi. [00:03:50] They never left each other [00:03:54] and were, in fact, like two wings [00:03:57] for the commander. This unknown martyr [00:04:00] was martyred in August 1962 in the Haj Omran region and [00:04:04] his pure body remained on the battlefields. [00:04:08] ماند [00:04:09] Bismillah. [00:04:17] Arsalan Kazemi, IRIB News Agency, [00:04:20] Isfahan. [00:04:23] Thank you for your attention. Please stay with News Channel. [00:04:26] باشید. [00:05:00] He was an only child, and God granted us this child after 5 years, [00:05:04] and on the day he was born, I [00:05:08] cried a lot out of happiness, and I didn't think [00:05:11] that after [00:05:16] most of the children were the same, the only thing that [00:05:20] bothered me the most was that on the night [00:05:24] of the day the accident happened, her [00:05:26] mother was on hospital duty. She still [00:05:30] says, "I wasn't with my child tonight to comb her hair and [00:05:33] have her pass under the Quran," because every morning she would [00:05:37] have her pass under the Quran and send [00:05:38] her to school. [00:05:55] Viewers of News Channel programs, especially the special program [00:05:59] "Hello Reporter," which is specially presented to you, esteemed viewers, [00:06:03] on Reporter's Day, August 17, 1405. [00:06:06] Well, in the studio, we [00:06:09] have another colleague from the IRIB News Agency. [00:06:12] Ms. Khadem Jaafari. Hello, hello to you, and [00:06:16] hello to all the dear ones who are watching us [00:06:19] through this frame. News, yes, the frame [00:06:22] of "Hello Reporter." May you live long. They are "Hello Reporter" themselves. [00:06:25] Why is it "Hello Reporter"? Is [00:06:27] it [00:06:30] a famous reporter? On Mondays, Mr. Hosseini's [00:06:33] news [00:06:36] was Saturday today. They forget Saturdays. [00:06:39] Is the frame paying attention or not? I should pay [00:06:43] attention to the energy news. What do we say on Mondays? How do we start, Mrs.? [00:06:47] Finally, finally, one person from so many of you. [00:06:50] From the others, now one person has come to ask [00:06:54] you a question. Let's ask if they've been to China or not. Have they been to China or not? We've been to China, yes. I've been there twice before [00:06:57] the Great Wall of China. Did you see the Great Wall? No, I [00:07:00] mean, I've been on two missions, but we haven't seen the Great Wall of China since morning. [00:07:04] We are constantly in news programs. Haven't they taken [00:07:08] you once? No, it's not that they didn't take us. It's just that there are so many [00:07:11] important news programs that I think we go on foreign missions [00:07:15] for fun, but it's better than going and getting stuck [00:07:18] in Mehr and not being able to see it. Yes, in many places, we just go and do news work. [00:07:22] I've been on two missions to China. [00:07:26] One was with Martyr Raisi, and the other [00:07:29] one was, may you live long, may his soul rest in peace, [00:07:32] and one was with [00:07:36] the Minister of Commerce at the time. [00:07:40] اون موقع زمان وزیر بازرگانی بود قبل. [00:08:05] Let's not say what came to your mind. No, [00:08:08] we have to, in any case, age is an important [00:08:11] issue. [00:08:33] We present the latest news and programs to our dear people. [00:08:37] One of the concerns is not to use [00:08:40] water, not to use electricity. [00:09:12] Well, one of our main concerns, Ms. Hajipour and Mr. Hosseini, [00:09:16] is the issue of imbalances, which we also raise. [00:09:20] Many dear and esteemed people come to us and say, [00:09:23] for example, our electricity is cut off. Well, now we don't have water either. [00:09:27] That goes back to the water problem. Well, it doesn't have the capacity [00:09:30] to deliver water to them. There's another issue, they come and say [00:09:34] our bills are very high. Many people told me in the past few days [00:09:38] that, for example, our bill has doubled. We talked to Mr. Rajabi Mesheh, [00:09:41] Deputy Minister of Energy. They said we haven't increased electricity prices at all. [00:09:45] 1% of our consumers are wasteful. Those [00:09:48] who follow the consumption pattern also get their electricity [00:09:52] bill increased in a way, and it can be said [00:09:56] that wasteful consumers are being dealt with, just like last year. [00:09:59] Consume only 40%. [00:10:02] How much is your electricity bill now, Mr. Dasteh? Ours had also increased. [00:10:06] Now, we are among the high consumers, but ours had also increased. [00:10:09] Let me check. Look, Mr. Hosseini, [00:10:25] dear ones who work in the media, we don't have a specific time, [00:10:28] meaning more than being with our families, we are working here [00:10:32] for our country, proudly for our country, [00:10:36] for Iran, for the people, to be narrators [00:10:39] of the truth. 697. Well, then you are a low [00:10:42] consumer. You are a very low consumer. Well, these people [00:10:45] ک [00:10:49] I'm not home, yeah. Exactly. Ms. [00:10:52] Khadem Jaafari, Mr. Hosseini, if you allow us, let's go to [00:10:55] Ms. Jaafari. Of course, let's go from Kurdistan [00:10:59] before our connection is cut with Ms. Jaafari and have our conversation, [00:11:03] then come back and continue our conversation with Ms. Jaafari, especially [00:11:06] regarding these imbalances that exist. Ms. Jaafari, [00:11:10] reporter for the IRIB News Agency in Kurdistan, is ready [00:11:13] to present her report. Kurdistan [00:11:16] during the imposed war, the third [00:11:20] imposed war. Well, many things [00:11:23] happened there. One of the things that happened was that IRIB Kurdistan [00:11:27] was also attacked. The people resisted. Let me provide [00:11:31] more details about the issues related to [00:11:34] Kurdistan from our reporter colleague, Ms. Jaafari. Hello to you, [00:11:38] and happy your day. Let's hear your report. [00:11:52] In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I would like to extend my greetings to you, [00:11:55] dear and esteemed colleague, and to all my good and hard-working colleagues [00:11:59] in the studio, and to all the dear and kind viewers [00:12:03] of the News Channel. I congratulate all of you on this day. [00:12:07] You correctly pointed out that I am reporting from [00:12:11] the IRIB Kurdistan Center for you. Until a few months [00:12:14] ago, this was the building of the IRIB Kurdistan [00:12:18] Center's broadcasting and news department. This was [00:12:21] the building of the News Deputy of the IRIB Kurdistan Center. [00:12:25] These points were related to several studios that [00:12:29] had been built over the years, and my good and [00:12:32] hard-working colleagues used these studios to produce programs [00:12:35] for the dear viewers of the original [00:12:39] and cultural channel, Kurdistan Channel. And our news was also presented [00:12:42] from these studios to the dear and esteemed [00:12:45] viewers. It was March [00:12:48] 2026 when the American [00:12:51] Zionist enemy, with several bunker-buster bombs, [00:12:55] attacked the IRIB Kurdistan Center in an unjust [00:12:59] and cowardly manner, and all our buildings [00:13:02] and equipment were destroyed, as you can see. [00:13:06] It was destroyed. Not more than one or two hours had passed since that [00:13:09] attack when, thank God, with the efforts of my good and dear [00:13:13] colleagues, the images returned to the air, and we did not face [00:13:16] the slightest disruption. Our dear viewers were able to receive [00:13:20] the images without interruption. Our various news sections [00:13:24] returned to the line without the slightest problem. [00:13:27] Our news sections continued. My good and [00:13:31] hard-working colleagues in the news unit continued [00:13:34] their work with double effort, and this process and trend [00:13:37] of informing and raising awareness in the IRIB Kurdistan Center [00:13:41] did not suffer the slightest interruption or disruption. [00:13:45] Yes, [00:13:48] the enemy destroyed our equipment, destroyed and [00:13:51] damaged our media and studios. But what [00:13:55] we saw was that the efforts and hard work of my colleagues did not allow [00:13:59] the slightest interruption in this process. When they saw [00:14:02] that the process of program production, news, and information dissemination [00:14:06] would not stop, they bombed our transmitters. [00:14:10] We had two transmitters in Marivan that were bombed. [00:14:13] Our other transmitter in Sarvabad was bombed. We had [00:14:17] a powerful transmitter in Baneh that was also destroyed [00:14:20] by the American Zionist enemy and taken out of service. But [00:14:24] as you can see, and our dear viewers and audience also know, [00:14:27] the process of program production, program preparation, [00:14:31] and news and information dissemination did not stop. Now, [00:14:34] for 160 nights, the people of Islamic Iran [00:14:37] have been present in the squares, and my colleagues, [00:14:41] even though our working conditions were like this and our equipment was destroyed, [00:14:45] and the center was in trouble, without even a single night's interruption, [00:14:48] we directly transmitted live images [00:14:51] of the people in the squares to national networks, including [00:14:55] the News Channel, and alongside other centers and [00:14:59] people in other provinces, the dear [00:15:02] viewers and audience [00:15:05] of the News Channel could see and hear the [00:15:08] people of Kurdistan province through these channels [00:15:12] and be informed. We lost our building and equipment, [00:15:15] but what is important is that my colleagues, [00:15:19] with more effort and motivation, with a more determined [00:15:22] will, did not allow [00:15:25] any disruption in the process of informing and raising [00:15:29] awareness, which is our inherent duty. And perhaps [00:15:32] we found more motivation to take steps in this direction and [00:15:36] to inform [00:15:43] our dear and esteemed audience about the news of conquest, [00:15:47] victory, and the final victory of the Iranian people [00:15:50] in the coming days, and to inform our dear audience about the news [00:15:54] of successes, the news of development and prosperity, and joyful news. [00:15:58] Thank you very much, Ms. Jaafari. I bid you farewell. You also [00:16:01] mentioned that despite all [00:16:04] the malice [00:16:19] that the American Zionist enemy did and the bombings you mentioned, the voice of truth was never silenced, and you and your colleagues were on air and published both images and your reports. This very presence of Your Excellency as a representative of our colleagues in the Kurdistan Center on the live broadcast of the News Channel shows your and your colleagues' great effort. Once again, we wish you all good health and congratulate you on this day. We bid you farewell. This is related to [00:16:23] last February, yes, before the start [00:16:26] of the war, yes. It was for the February 22nd [00:16:29] march, and the sky was not yet bright. [00:16:33] When you say you're not home, sometimes, really, [00:16:46] as they say, the sun hasn't risen yet, and we're already [00:16:49] leaving, and then at night we come home late. [00:16:53] Do you agree that these few seconds are 30 [00:16:57] ? [00:17:01] میریم از این ورم که دوباره شبم دیر وقت میایم منزل [00:17:05] موافقین که این چند ثانیه ای هستش ۳۰ [00:18:37] But you weren't allowed to break the rules, Ms. I promise [00:18:41] that we will [00:18:42] be behind [00:18:45] the wheel. We'll pay. Please pay, then we'll talk about this, [00:18:49] about resolving the imbalances. Imbalances. [00:18:52] We have imbalances in everything. I consume according to the pattern. You [00:18:56] say no, we are also according to the pattern, but the amount [00:18:59] goes up. Your increase shouldn't be according to the pattern. [00:19:03] Even now, as they say, [00:19:06] consumers and people, [00:19:10] let's put this aside. The government has started [00:19:13] itself, and we have repeated this in various programs [00:19:17] and in our reports that my dear colleagues on the energy desk [00:19:21] prepared. The government started itself. How did it cut [00:19:25] off electricity to wasteful offices? [00:19:29] The President also talked about turning off the lights. [00:19:32] Everyone even in the spaces where we ourselves [00:19:36] are in the news agency. Sometimes we see that if the temperature [00:19:40] goes up a bit, the energy desk warns colleagues and says that the temperature [00:19:44] should be 25 degrees, it should not be more. Well, people [00:19:48] are not only following the electricity rule, but also the water issue. [00:19:51] Now, our water levels may be in a better situation. [00:19:55] Amir Kabir Dam in Tehran. But some of Tehran's water levels [00:19:59] are not in good condition. We once again ask the people [00:20:03] and use this opportunity to continue this saving. Of course, [00:20:06] of course, the government also has programs in this regard to [00:20:10] help or manage gasoline consumption. We see that gasoline consumption management [00:20:14] has increased a lot these days, and we especially ask taxi drivers [00:20:17] or private car drivers whose cars are dual-fuel [00:20:21] to use CNG and help a little in these [00:20:25] imbalance conditions with the issue of gasoline [00:20:28] consumption management. Very good. Mr. Hosseini, I think Mr. [00:20:32] Ghiyami is ready. ISNA News Agency. [00:20:36] Mr. Ghiyami. [00:20:38] Hello again to you. Happy your day. You went to [00:20:41] ISNA News Agency. Please convey our congratulations [00:20:45] to all the friends of the News Channel. Do you hear [00:20:49] me? Yes, we hear you very well. Thank you very much, dear colleague. [00:20:53] I greet you and the esteemed viewers [00:20:56] of the News Channel. On your behalf, on behalf of all our [00:21:00] reporter friends, we came today to join [00:21:03] our very valuable colleagues at ISNA News Agency [00:21:06] to congratulate them on this blessed and auspicious day [00:21:10] and to wish these dear ones success [00:21:14] and prosperity. Before anything else, it is good to [00:21:17] mention that here is an image of our two martyred [00:21:21] reporters and photographers, adorning this news agency. [00:21:24] The children who, along with all reporters, [00:21:28] achieved the high rank of martyrdom in the S3 130 incident. [00:21:31] We remember them, Martyr Mohammad Gharib [00:21:35] and Martyr Esmail Omrani. May their souls rest in peace and their memory be cherished. Let's go to [00:21:39] our esteemed colleagues, Mr. Ghorchi. Greetings and respect. How are you? [00:21:42] Fine, thank you very much. Congratulations. May you be healthy. Happy your day too. [00:21:46] Thank you. [00:21:49] Tell me, in which service and in which section [00:21:52] of the news domain of ISNA News Agency are we now? [00:21:56] Welcome. First of all, we welcome you. We greet [00:21:59] and congratulate all our colleagues on this day. This is [00:22:03] the political and international service of ISNA [00:22:07] News Agency. In this department where you are present, [00:22:10] our colleagues in the political and international section are translators. [00:22:14] Well, the political sphere also includes parliamentary, domestic [00:22:17] policy, legal, judicial, defense, and security services. [00:22:21] In the international discussion, all our colleagues translate [00:22:25] international news, and now foreign policy reporters [00:22:28] and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reporter are present among us. Very good. How many years [00:22:32] have you been working? I have been active in journalism [00:22:36] for approximately 9 years. How is it? Is it good? [00:22:39] It means that you hear people's concerns, then you follow [00:22:42] up. It's an interesting job. Briefly, a memory [00:22:46] from journalism. If I want to tell a short memory. [00:22:58] Preparing a report. Well, I think that was the most [00:23:01] impactful event that I was present for its coverage. Very good. Brother, [00:23:05] I wish you success. Do you have any orders for me? Since you [00:23:08] came here, I wanted to congratulate you on this day. I also wanted to [00:23:12] ask him this question, God bless you. I am at your service. [00:23:15] You also say, first of all, if you have a memory in the field [00:23:19] of journalism. And now, what was the most bitter or [00:23:22] the sweetest news event you have covered so far? [00:23:26] Very well, let me tell you that I thank [00:23:29] you first and foremost. In terms of news, as [00:23:33] you know, we actually have a common ground on this issue. [00:23:36] I think the most heartbreaking news was the crime [00:23:39] that the Zionist regime and the criminal Americans [00:23:43] committed in Minab school and martyred 168 [00:23:46] dear young compatriots of ours. [00:23:50] The point was that this news was truly the most painful [00:23:54] news during this period, and [00:23:57] the successes of the proud [00:24:00] children of this country in [00:24:04] response to the crimes of the Zionist regime and the criminal [00:24:07] Americans, and the strong blows [00:24:10] we dealt, and the essence of it is what [00:24:13] they say, "When you hit well, you hit well," and certainly that [00:24:17] was also one of our honors. Yes, exactly from [00:24:23] dear reporter friends, God bless you. This gentleman is one of the youngest [00:24:27] reporters here. God bless you. I hope you are successful and prosperous. [00:24:30] Dear colleagues, all of you, with respect and politeness, I congratulate [00:24:34] you. Thank you very much. And the fact that [00:24:37] this active service, in fact, along with other [00:24:40] news agencies that are active in the country, in the political [00:24:44] and international sphere, they give their all. Their presence is truly [00:24:47] remarkable, and we are going to talk to [00:24:50] one of the veterans of the news and media [00:24:54] scene, our dear friend and esteemed teacher, Mr. Montazeri, [00:24:57] who currently also holds the position of President of Jihad Daneshgahi. [00:25:01] Please, if possible, come here. I ask you to come to our camera. [00:25:04] Yes, with respect and politeness, I ask you [00:25:08] and your dear colleagues at the Islamic [00:25:12] Republic of Iran Broadcasting, especially the News [00:25:14] Channel, I congratulate you on this day [00:25:18] and hope that this day is blessed for all [00:25:22] reporters in the country. Thank you very much, Mr. Montazeri. You [00:25:26] are one of the veterans of the news and media scene. Can you please tell [00:25:30] us how many years you have been a reporter? [00:25:33] I have had the honor of starting journalism [00:25:36] since 1973. Then, after [00:25:40] I entered university, [00:25:43] and then during the cultural revolution, [00:25:46] Jihad Daneshgahi was formed. My first [00:25:50] official job at Jihad Daneshgahi was [00:25:53] as a reporter for the University of [00:25:56] Revolution magazine. We have always actually given [00:25:59] importance to media in Jihad, and we still do. And [00:26:03] at that time, of course, [00:26:06] the Iranian Students' News Agency had not yet [00:26:10] been established, but the University [00:26:14] of Revolution magazine, as a medium that began [00:26:18] to explain the movement of the Cultural Revolution, [00:26:21] played a very effective role in the written media [00:26:25] landscape of the country at that time. [00:26:28] Yes, very good. I wish you success. [00:26:31] I hope you are always successful. If there is anything [00:26:34] else, the main point is that the Iranian Students' News Agency [00:26:38] was a completely student movement [00:26:42] that was established by our dear students [00:26:45] with insight in 1999. [00:26:48] And its main slogan [00:26:52] was "Iran by Iran." That is, [00:26:55] you can see how intelligently these friends of ours [00:26:59] chose this slogan, because before [00:27:02] that, others were narrating Iran, but after [00:27:06] that, ISNA was the pioneer of this [00:27:09] slogan, "Iran by Iran," and [00:27:13] fortunately, this movement was able to [00:27:17] multiply itself as a model, [00:27:20] and dozens of non-governmental news [00:27:23] agencies were born in the country, which are serving the people [00:27:26] and working in news today. [00:27:30] We hope that, God willing, [00:27:33] we, for our part, as [00:27:36] an official, can, God willing, meet [00:27:40] the needs of reporters. Thank you very much, Mr. Montazeri. Esteemed viewers, [00:27:44] 27 years have passed since the establishment of this news agency, and indeed, [00:27:47] our friends at ISNA News Agency publish more than 750 [00:27:51] news stories daily. I wish all colleagues success. [00:27:54] God willing. [00:27:57] Unfortunately, the connection [00:27:59] was cut at the last moment, Mr. Ghiyami and [00:28:14] I realized that the IRIB News Agency, the organization, had undertaken a lot [00:28:18] in the past two or three years, especially in 1402. [00:28:21] Yes, may Martyr Raisi's soul rest in peace. He had a long, [00:28:25] one-day visit to the IRIB organization, [00:28:29] came to the IRIB News Agency, and the news [00:29:02] He was truly a man of the people, concerned about the problems [00:29:05] and livelihood of the people. He was very supportive of women, [00:29:09] especially female journalists, because sometimes we went to places [00:29:13] where the conditions were difficult, and he always told us to take care [00:29:16] of the reporters, and he was truly [00:29:19] a tireless man. We cannot say he was tired. Sometimes [00:29:23] we would get tired, but he would not get tired. He was responsive [00:29:26] to our questions, responsive to the questions of national reporters [00:29:30] who accompanied him, and also [00:29:33] provincial reporters. Now we are also in the energy sector. One of his [00:29:37] concerns was the issue [00:29:40] of water, the problems that needed to be solved, [00:29:43] and he tried very hard, and every project [00:29:47] we went to inaugurate, a constant part of these projects [00:29:51] was a project related to water and energy. [00:29:54] Very good. [00:29:56] Also Martyr Amir Abdollahian and other companions of that [00:30:00] sad trip, a greeting that was in 14. [00:30:27] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello, esteemed viewers.
