Greetings to you, dear listeners of Khabar Radio. The Secretary of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution called the winning of the first gold medal in the Third International Artificial Intelligence Olympiad a bright symbol of the intelligence and remarkable ability of the young generation of Iran. Hojjatoleslam Khosropanah, while congratulating on this historic achievement, wrote in a message: The Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, by approving the National Artificial Intelligence Document, has considered the strategic policymaking of the elite ecosystem as a definite priority of the country and considers supporting these brilliant talents as the main prerequisite for achieving scientific leadership. The Secretary of the Supreme Council. days from the nights
[00:00:06] of war and a sky full of anti-aircraft fire until the summer
[00:00:10] heat, people did not leave the field.
[00:00:14] A presence that they considered a responsibility. People
[00:00:17] believe that they have Ghul, we have Imam Hussein, then
[00:00:21] we come here with our unity and draw the line.
[00:00:25] Like these four decades that we have come to today, these people are in the
[00:00:28] field.
[00:02:20] I took the opportunity to be with the people, and given
[00:02:23] that August 17th is also a
[00:02:26] diary, I ended tonight with a question from the people.
[00:03:16] The United Nations is investigating the accusation of
[00:03:19] espionage by one of its employees for the Zionist
[00:03:22] regime. Following the publication of a
[00:03:26] report about espionage by one of the United Nations employees for the Zionist
[00:03:30] regime. The Deputy Spokesperson of the organization announced
[00:03:34] that UNICEF is investigating the allegations made
[00:03:37] against one of its senior employees. Yahav
[00:03:40] Licher is accused of providing confidential
[00:03:44] information to the diplomats of the Zionist
[00:03:47] regime while working at another United Nations
[00:03:50] agency. According to Farhan Haq, this
[00:03:54] employee, who currently heads the UNICEF office
[00:03:58] in Washington, has been sent on administrative
[00:04:01] leave.
[00:04:06] The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. Army
[00:04:10] warned about the consequences of continued war with Iran.
[00:04:13] CNN reported that General
[00:04:17] Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
[00:04:21] of the U.S. Army, specifically told a number
[00:04:24] of senior officials of the Trump administration,
[00:04:26] including John Ratcliffe, Director of the Central
[00:04:30] Intelligence Agency (CIA),
[00:04:33] Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, and J.D.
[00:04:37] Vance, Vice President of the United States,
[00:04:40] that the United States
[00:04:42] of Allah needs to find a way
[00:04:45] to avoid war with
[00:04:48] Hasten to prayer Iran. According to the report, General
[00:04:51] Dunford warned that military options proposed
[00:04:54] to escalate the conflict may be
[00:04:57] counterproductive, and also said
[00:05:01] that it is unlikely that air power alone
[00:05:04] can achieve the stated goals of U.S. President
[00:05:07] Donald Trump. achieve.
[00:05:09] it.
[00:05:13] And the Yemeni Army in a preemptive operation
[00:05:17] targeted areas belonging to Saudi
[00:05:20] forces. This operation was carried out
[00:05:23] within the framework of the legitimate right of the Yemeni
[00:05:27] people to end 12 years of
[00:05:30] aggression and siege.
[00:05:31] took place.
[00:05:34] A new phase of war in Yemen was announced by the armed forces
[00:05:38] against Saudi military gatherings in its affiliated camps.
[00:05:49] to carry out a surprise attack from various axes and
[00:05:52] fronts against Sanaa after field preparations, but Sanaa
[00:05:56] was monitoring all this time and was planning
[00:05:59] for a preemptive operation, an operation that began
[00:06:03] with precise attacks on the camp and meetings of Saudi
[00:06:07] and foreign officers. Our armed forces carried
[00:06:11] out a military
[00:06:14] operation that targeted enemy Saudi gatherings
[00:06:17] in the areas of Al-Ruwayk, Al-Abr, Al-Saniyah and other
[00:06:21] affiliated camps, which are called the First and Third Emergency
[00:06:25] Divisions, with a large number of ballistic missiles
[00:06:28] and drones. Hundreds of Saudi military
[00:06:32] forces were killed and injured. The Yemeni armed forces
[00:06:35] emphasized that they will continue to target
[00:06:39] all Saudi military gatherings in Yemeni territory. Actions.
[00:07:10] This is all we believe has been done so far.
[00:07:25] This camp is affiliated with Saudi Arabia for storing modern
[00:07:29] weapons and gathering human forces affiliated
[00:07:33] with it, which, according to the official spokesman
[00:07:36] of the Yemeni forces, was targeted with a large number of missiles and drones.
[00:07:40] Local reports also indicate that multiple explosions were heard.
[00:13:42] you heard is the sound of the
[00:13:46] aggressor against the soil of the homeland, the sound
[00:13:49] of the aggressor against truth and justice. What
[00:13:53] you observed, the sound you heard,
[00:13:55] is dusty.
[00:14:45] Greetings to you, dear viewers. Stay with us for
[00:14:47] the continuation of the special program
[00:14:51] "Reporter's Day" from Khabar Network.
[00:15:28] Let's start our conversation
[00:15:31] with Ms. Ranjbar, a reporter from IRIB
[00:15:34] News Agency. I also greet
[00:15:43] you and all dear viewers
[00:15:46] and congratulate all media professionals and
[00:15:50] truth-tellers on Reporter's Day. Greetings to you. Let's
[00:15:54] talk to Mr. Geyami since our connection is established. The internet
[00:15:58] connection might be cut off at any moment, then we will come back to you. Mr. Geyami,
[00:16:00] please tell us which news agency
[00:16:04] you went to.
[00:16:08] Yes, I must say that since this morning, after
[00:16:11] Mehr News Agency and ISNA, we have come
[00:16:14] to Fars News Agency among the hardworking colleagues
[00:16:17] of this news agency, dear ones who
[00:16:21] are active in various services based on the information
[00:16:24] I have received from friends, more than
[00:16:28] 10 services in the domestic
[00:16:30] news section of this media are active,
[00:16:34] and dear reporters who are trying to send
[00:16:37] the latest news to their audience in every
[00:16:41] corner of the country, based on what our
[00:16:44] friends in the domestic news department of Fars
[00:16:47] News Agency have stated, 950 news items
[00:16:51] are published daily. Let's go to one of our dear colleagues. Sir, greetings
[00:16:54] and respect. The first flower is for you. Happy
[00:16:57] Reporter's Day. Thank you. Be well. Mr. Hamid Khan
[00:17:01] Mohammadi. We are devoted. Be well. May you live long. You have
[00:17:04] turned your hair white in this story of news and media.
[00:17:16] I wish you success. Tell me which service
[00:17:19] you are active in. I am from the cultural group of Fars News Agency.
[00:17:22] Tell me about news and journalism. Also, give
[00:17:26] us a short memory. I must tell you that journalism,
[00:17:30] well, we can say it's the hardest job
[00:17:32] in the world, and the sweetest.
[00:17:35] Of course, it seems that the Ministry
[00:17:38] is trying to put the burden of this difficult
[00:17:42] journalistic work on us, which is a pity.
[00:17:45] Well, as for a memory, I think
[00:17:49] it was 1999, if I'm not mistaken,
[00:17:52] I called Mrs. Dr. Tahereh
[00:17:54] Saffarzadeh's house at night. She was both a Quran
[00:17:58] translator and a poet, and I heard a very
[00:18:02] soft voice. She was speaking softly and
[00:18:06] said, "Yes, please." I said, "Excuse me, it
[00:18:09] seems you were sleeping. I disturbed you." She said,
[00:18:12] "Now ask your question." I said, "Excuse me, it seems
[00:18:15] you were sleeping, and one of your friends, who is
[00:18:19] also our mutual friend, told me that Dr. is awake
[00:18:23] now." She said, "He didn't have common sense, and you
[00:18:27] didn't either." Well, anyway, I was a bit young
[00:18:30] then, and yes, Dr. Saffarzadeh passed away later,
[00:18:34] and I would like to commemorate her here.
[00:18:37] And I asked her where she was at
[00:18:41] 9:03, if I'm not mistaken, 9:34 AM
[00:18:44] on February 1st, 1979? She said, "Go tell
[00:18:48] the person who gave you this question that
[00:18:52] I was a member of the reception committee for Imam Khomeini.
[00:18:55] Where should I have been?" Thank you very much,
[00:18:58] Mr. Mandi. I am grateful. I hope you are
[00:19:02] always successful, our good colleague from the good
[00:19:06] sisters of Fars News Agency. Happy Reporter's Day.
[00:19:09] Thank you. Please introduce yourself. I am
[00:19:12] Soudabeh Ranjbar, a journalist with about 20
[00:19:16] years of experience, and currently the head of
[00:19:20] the narrative group at the news agency. Very
[00:19:24] good. Do you define the narrative group for
[00:19:27] us? The narrative group is a group
[00:19:31] that actually goes among the people,
[00:19:34] and the main basis of these reports are
[00:19:38] people's reports, and in fact, the heroes, most of
[00:19:42] whom are ordinary people, and we find them.
[00:19:45] A few-second memory. Well, if I want to tell
[00:19:48] you about a memory, the recent events of the
[00:19:52] funeral of our beloved leader. It was interesting
[00:19:56] for me that we would go to the Musalla. It was exactly
[00:19:59] the day of prayer, and unfortunately, I arrived
[00:20:02] late due to the crowd in the subway,
[00:20:05] and I met a woman
[00:20:19] in one of the side alleys. After the prayer,
[00:20:22] it seemed she had come very early that morning,
[00:20:25] and she had three children. Her children
[00:20:29] were next to her in the side alleys.
[00:20:32] This answer was very interesting
[00:20:35] to me. It seems she
[00:20:37] had also visited the Musalla the day before,
[00:20:41] but had not brought her children, and
[00:20:45] the next day, she had decided that this
[00:20:49] should happen. A picture of the Leader
[00:20:52] of the Revolution had been given to her,
[00:20:56] and she said that it was a sign from
[00:21:00] the Leader that you should fulfill your maternal
[00:21:04] duties and bring the children among this
[00:21:07] crowd to be our soldiers and be present.
[00:21:11] That woman was so emotional, and this
[00:21:14] image was so attractive to her that
[00:21:18] it was also a sign for me. When her
[00:21:22] child woke up, she also gave me
[00:21:24] a picture of Agha.
[00:21:27] When I took it from her, she told me that
[00:21:30] this is also a sign for you, and pay
[00:21:34] attention to your children. Thank you very much.
[00:21:37] I wish you success for all our colleagues
[00:21:41] in various media, we wish you success.
[00:21:45] And we are again at your service, dear
[00:21:48] viewers. We will try to report on other
[00:21:52] media for you, God willing, until the
[00:21:56] end of this special program.
[00:21:59] Thank you very much, Mr. Geyami. Thank you.
[00:22:02] Once again, Happy Reporter's Day to you and
[00:22:06] to our dear friends, the reporters
[00:22:09] of Fars News Agency. But stay with us.
[00:22:13] Let me have a conversation with Ms. Ranjbar, a reporter
[00:22:17] from IRIB News Agency. We greeted her before
[00:22:21] this connection. Madam, you are from the
[00:22:25] Bank and Insurance Group of the News
[00:22:28] Agency, right? Yes, I have been working
[00:22:31] in the political field for about
[00:22:35] 10 years, in the Parliament and Foreign
[00:22:38] Ministry, and now it's been almost
[00:22:42] four years since I left politics. No,
[00:22:46] it had become a bit difficult for
[00:23:02] me. My children were born, and it became
[00:23:06] a bit difficult for me to work in the political
[00:23:09] field, so I preferred to make my work
[00:23:13] a bit easier for myself. I went into the economic
[00:23:16] field, although working in the economic field
[00:23:20] is not an easy job either.
[00:23:23] But for me, journalism in general is more
[00:23:27] difficult with children. Right, it's really
[00:23:30] more difficult. It's a big challenge,
[00:23:33] especially for women. It's very difficult,
[00:23:36] but thank God the news agency... How
[00:23:40] old are your children? They are going to school
[00:23:44] this year. They have grown up. Yes, thank
[00:23:47] God. The news agency
[00:23:54] has been very cooperative with us throughout this
[00:23:58] period. They have reduced the shift hours a
[00:24:01] bit, and to the
[00:24:03] extent that we have been able.
[00:24:07] One of our good reporters, especially
[00:24:11] in the field of live communication. We
[00:24:14] enjoyed it. Yes, tell us about your
[00:24:18] field of work, and especially these days
[00:24:22] of war, when banks were not spared. Yes,
[00:24:26] that's right. Banks, unfortunately, during
[00:24:29] both the 12-day war and the 40-day
[00:24:33] war, the recent war, were subjected
[00:24:36] to cyberattacks. Yes, they faced cyberattacks.
[00:24:39] In the first war, Bank Sepah and Bank
[00:24:43] Melli were affected, and in the next
[00:24:46] war, there were four banks: Bank Saderat,
[00:24:50] Melli, Tose'e Saderat, and Tejarat.
[00:24:53] We followed this issue closely from
[00:24:57] the first day the news was published.
[00:25:01] Because one of the most important tasks
[00:25:04] of journalism is to follow up on people's
[00:25:08] demands. That is, when people raise
[00:25:11] an issue, for example, regarding the withdrawal
[00:25:15] of cards, we followed up
[00:25:19] with long lines
[00:25:26] of people who had visited bank branches.
[00:25:29] We accompanied them with mobile banking
[00:25:32] and POS devices that were not working
[00:25:36] for some cards. And the problem,
[00:25:40] unfortunately, was partly due to the hardware
[00:25:44] and software system of the bank itself
[00:25:47] and the security factor of the banking
[00:25:51] network. And because of this, unfortunately,
[00:25:55] several of our banks faced problems due
[00:25:58] to cyberattacks. We followed up, and thank
[00:26:03] God, with the patience of the people and
[00:26:07] the efforts of the banking network, the
[00:26:11] problem was almost resolved. Some banks
[00:26:14] resolved it faster, while some banks continued
[00:26:18] to have problems for some time. Now, almost
[00:26:22] all banks have had their problems
[00:26:25] resolved, and the Central Bank also
[00:26:28] took a very important measure. It
[00:26:35] launched an electronic wallet that allows
[00:26:38] people to perform their banking services
[00:26:41] more easily without the need for internet
[00:26:45] by using the command *98#. What does
[00:26:48] that mean? What do they do? They
[00:26:52] make purchases with their mobile phones
[00:26:55] using a command code. Yes, it has
[00:26:59] been activated for approximately 90 million
[00:27:02] bank cards and phone numbers that were
[00:27:06] available for people. This means that
[00:27:10] individuals themselves need to activate their
[00:27:13] more money for goods, and well, prices go
[00:27:16] up and inflation increases. But if
[00:27:20] this liquidity is controlled and is
[00:27:23] at an appropriate level, inflation is
[00:27:27] also controlled to the same extent.
[00:27:31] Of course, inflation
[00:27:39] has other factors, but one of the
[00:27:43] most effective factors is liquidity.
[00:27:46] During the 40-day war, the Ramadan
[00:27:50] War, the third imposed war, news
[00:27:54] agency reporters were not necessarily in
[00:27:58] their own field, but in any field
[00:28:01] they were asked to cover.
[00:28:05] They were also involved in other
[00:28:09] reports. Yes, in nightly gatherings
[00:28:13] and especially in the Minab school
[00:28:17] incident, this terrorist act carried out
[00:28:20] by America, I must tell you that
[00:28:24] I was compiling reports, some of
[00:28:28] them from home. Even my children
[00:28:31] saw me compiling reports, and you
[00:28:35] won't believe it, I cried with
[00:28:51] every report. The scenes were so
[00:28:55] heartbreaking, and as I said, my
[00:28:58] children also saw them, and they
[00:29:02] believed that their school had been
[00:29:06] attacked. So I took them to
[00:29:09] their preschool to show them
[00:29:13] that it was safe here. "Mom,
[00:29:16] nothing happened here." But the scenes
[00:29:20] were truly heartbreaking, and we tried
[00:29:23] to show the viewers what really happened.
[00:29:27] Thank you very much, Ms. Ranjbar.
