[00:00:00] foreign forces are the cause.
[00:00:06] Stay with us after the 1:00 PM news.
[00:00:23] Good afternoon, it's 1:00 PM. The President
[00:00:26] said that the US, using the territory of regional countries, has targeted
[00:00:30] Iran's bases and centers.
[00:00:33] The Islamic Republic will only
[00:00:36] target positions that were the source of attacks.
[00:00:39] Mr. Pezeshkian emphasized that if enemies try
[00:00:43] to force us to surrender, we will fight
[00:00:46] and not back down.
[00:00:49] We must claim
[00:00:51] our rights.
[00:00:54] We do not intend to bully anyone,
[00:00:57] but we will not submit to coercion. It is not right
[00:01:00] for them to impose their will on us, or to come to our country and take our resources.
[00:01:03] Currently, in Iraq, they sell oil but are not given
[00:01:07] their money.
[00:01:09] We had to defend ourselves,
[00:01:12] and honestly,
[00:01:16] our fighters, the air and space forces, the army, the Sepah, and
[00:01:19] our fighting youth defended bravely.
[00:01:23] They astonished the world, and of course, with the blessing and support
[00:01:27] of the people, and naturally, with the management
[00:01:31] that the government has implemented, if this process and support had not
[00:01:35] taken shape, the support that the government provided for this
[00:01:39] whole situation, this process would not
[00:01:41] have existed. We are one body, one
[00:01:45] so-called power, not fragmented. Those people who
[00:01:49] want to separate are those
[00:01:52] who want to create division and rifts in society between us
[00:01:56] and all those who live in this country.
[00:02:00] There is a regulation, a law, and a leadership that governs.
[00:02:03] The call for registration for the fourth
[00:02:07] international Teacher Prize was
[00:02:10] published. The conditions
[00:02:13] for participation in this call include having at least
[00:02:16] 5 years of direct educational experience with
[00:02:20] audiences under 18 years old and a commitment to continue working for
[00:02:23] the next 3 years. Interested individuals can register and
[00:02:26] obtain more information by October 30
[00:02:30] on the official Teacher Prize website at
[00:02:34] teacherprize.IR.
[00:02:37] The closing ceremony and announcement
[00:02:40] of the winners
[00:02:42] of the fourth دوره will also be held in January
[00:02:45] 2026. 5 billion dollars investment
[00:02:48] for 15,000
[00:02:50] megawatts of renewable energy. According to the CEO
[00:02:54] of the National Development Fund Investment
[00:02:57] Company, this fund has
[00:03:00] placed two large projects of 7,000 and
[00:03:04] 8,000 megawatts in the field of renewable
[00:03:08] energies on its agenda, which collectively
[00:03:11] cover a capacity of 15,000 megawatts of solar and wind power.
[00:03:15] The National Development Fund has committed 5 billion
[00:03:18] dollars for the implementation of these two projects,
[00:03:21] of which approximately one billion
[00:03:25] dollars has been invested in the 7,000 megawatt project and
[00:03:28] approximately 229.9 million dollars in the
[00:03:31] 8,000 megawatt project. Several American senators
[00:03:35] are
[00:03:38] seeking a resolution to end the war with
[00:03:41] Iran. John Hickenlooper,
[00:03:45] a Democratic senator, by describing the war against
[00:03:48] Iran as illegal, announced that several
[00:03:51] senators are pursuing a resolution to end the war.
[00:03:55] The senator also criticized the killing of American soldiers,
[00:03:58] the depletion of army weaponry, and the increase
[00:04:02] in gasoline prices due to the war. According to the latest
[00:04:05] results of a joint Reuters and Ipsos
[00:04:08] poll, 50 percent of Americans believe
[00:04:12] that the war against Iran will lead to an escalation
[00:04:15] of chaos and instability in the West Asia region.
[00:04:19] According to the results of this poll, approximately
[00:04:22] 58% of respondents said they expect
[00:04:26] gasoline prices to rise due to the war. According to Reuters,
[00:04:30] the war against Iran has so far cost
[00:04:33] American taxpayers at least 37 billion
[00:04:37] dollars. The Ansarullah movement
[00:04:39] in Yemen
[00:04:42] accused the Security Council of bias and support
[00:04:45] for the oppressive aggressions of Saudi Arabia
[00:04:49] and the US against the people of Yemen.
[00:04:52] The Security Council yesterday, without mentioning Saudi
[00:04:56] attacks on Yemen, condemned the Yemeni
[00:05:00] missile attacks on Saudi Arabia. The Ansarullah movement in
[00:05:04] Yemen announced that since the start of the hostile Saudi-American
[00:05:08] attacks on the people of Yemen on the morning of
[00:05:10] March 26th,
[00:05:12] thousands of citizens have been killed or wounded, a significant
[00:05:16] number of whom are women and children,
[00:05:20] and hundreds of homes, urban facilities,
[00:05:23] and military installations have also been destroyed. Ansarullah,
[00:05:26] stating that in the recent Security Council statement against
[00:05:29] Yemen, the executioner was supported against the
[00:05:33] victim, emphasized that the people of Yemen have
[00:05:36] determined to reclaim their rights and consider
[00:05:40] Security Council statements worthless.
[00:05:43] In the attacks by the Zionist
[00:05:46] regime on Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip,
[00:05:50] three Palestinians were injured. Military vehicles
[00:05:53] of the Zionist regime in Jabalia fired at Palestinian
[00:05:56] citizens, and the area around Al-Adora Hospital
[00:05:59] in eastern Gaza City was also
[00:06:03] subjected to heavy gunfire. At the same time, the Zionist
[00:06:06] regime fired over Beitullah Menawwar, and the military
[00:06:10] forces of this regime in... After
[00:06:13] the Chinese Ministry
[00:06:15] of Commerce
[00:06:18] tightened controls on the export
[00:06:21] of items related
[00:06:22] to the drone
[00:06:26] industry to the US, many experts
[00:06:28] believe that given China's role in the supply
[00:06:32] chain of this industry, this move by Beijing could
[00:06:35] pose a new challenge to the US military
[00:06:38] industry. The release of a new statement from this
[00:06:42] building has turned another page in the book of tensions
[00:06:46] between China and the US. China's Ministry of Commerce
[00:06:49] announced that it has restricted the export of dual-use
[00:06:53] items used in the drone and unmanned aerial vehicle
[00:06:56] industry to the US. Beijing's retaliatory
[00:06:59] action came after Washington sanctioned 43
[00:07:02] Chinese entities and companies under the pretext of threatening
[00:07:06] US national security and human rights.
[00:07:08] China strongly
[00:07:11] opposes illegal unilateral US sanctions.
[00:07:14] We will take all necessary measures to protect
[00:07:18] the legitimate rights and interests of our companies and citizens,
[00:07:21] and we will not succumb to any coercion or pressure.
[00:07:25] China is the beating heart of the global
[00:07:29] drone industry, where approximately 90% of the world's
[00:07:32] commercial drones are manufactured, and it supplies approximately
[00:07:36] 80% of the world's need for components in this
[00:07:39] industry.
[00:07:45] The trade war and US sanctions against China do not affect
[00:07:49] us much; rather, they mostly harm them.
[00:07:52] Their supply chain is highly dependent on us. China
[00:07:55] produces 90% of permanent magnets and lithium
[00:07:59] batteries, which are a vital material in drone
[00:08:02] manufacturing. While these days news is being published
[00:08:05] about the shortage of US military weapons after the war against Iran,
[00:08:09] China's new action could pose
[00:08:13] a new challenge to the US military
[00:08:16] industry. Regarding the trade
[00:08:20] and technology war between the US and China,
[00:08:23] they made a miscalculation. Without Chinese
[00:08:26] components, major US weapons programs will
[00:08:29] face problems. The drone war is
[00:08:31] China's new trump card in countering
[00:08:35] US sanctions. It is a blow
[00:08:39] that can collapse the wall of sanctions
[00:08:42] on the Americans. Many in China believe
[00:08:46] that Beijing's retaliatory action in sanctioning
[00:08:49] American companies could open up more room
[00:08:53] for negotiation for Beijing at the upcoming meeting
[00:08:56] of Chinese and American presidents. Amir Shayanmar,
[00:09:00] correspondent for IRIB News Agency, Guizhou Province,
[00:09:03] China. Thank you for your
[00:09:07] attention. Stay with the news
[00:09:10] channel.
[00:11:55] is dedicated to today's date, August 8,
[00:12:02] The special program "Hello Reporter," which
[00:12:05] 2026, is presented to our esteemed
[00:12:09] viewers of the news channel. Well, in this
[00:12:12] part of the special program, we are hosting
[00:12:16] a guest who is also a host at the Islamic Republic
[00:12:20] of Iran Broadcasting, and we are honored to host Dr.
[00:12:24] [Name] in the news channel
[00:12:55] studio. Yes, now, of course, I want to mention one point at the beginning.
[00:12:59] We, in a very vast media organization called the National Media and IRIB,
[00:13:02] really need to broaden the definition
[00:13:06] of a reporter. That is, the work
[00:13:09] of a reporter is not just what is in the written
[00:13:13] or press domain.
[00:13:16] Reporting in IRIB is much broader and more extensive.
[00:13:19] Naturally, the person
[00:13:23] in front of the camera, who is more
[00:13:27] present in the scenes and is seen, is a reporter,
[00:13:31] whose position is very honorable and commendable.
[00:13:34] But beyond the reporter,
[00:13:37] there is a wide range of dear colleagues
[00:13:41] who can all be properly called journalists,
[00:13:44] whether it's you, and Ms. Hajipour,
[00:13:48] as presenters
[00:13:51] of news and political programs, who certainly
[00:13:55] need knowledge, expertise, and mastery
[00:13:58] of journalistic fields, which you have, and you are successfully
[00:14:01] performing your duties
[00:14:05] who may not be seen in front of the camera,
[00:14:08] the cameramen, the colleagues in the control
[00:14:12] room, the director, the producer, the coordinator,
[00:14:15] I want to say that all of them are
[00:14:18] complementary to the work of reporting and news.
[00:14:21] Therefore, when we say whether you were a reporter or not,
[00:14:25] whether you worked in news or not? Look, in the
[00:14:29] incident of the bombing of the glass building last year,
[00:14:32] the colleague who was martyred was a news editor,
[00:14:36] the chief editor, Mr. Rajabpour. And Ms. Azimi was also in the support
[00:14:40] areas of this group of factors,
[00:14:43] in front of the camera, behind the camera, reporter, editor,
[00:14:46] chief editor, editorial
[00:14:49] manager. These are the ones that, in my opinion, the definition
[00:14:52] of a reporter, in a way, perhaps includes
[00:14:55] all of them. From this perspective, yes, I have had the privilege
[00:14:58] of working, of course, the privilege of reporting, meaning with a camera
[00:15:01] and microphone in hand, in front of the camera,
[00:15:05] fortunately, and I have had this honor, and I am very happy
[00:15:08] as someone who has perhaps
[00:15:18] let Mr. Doctor comment on this point, because
[00:15:22] the topic of our connection with Yasuj also refers to the imposed
[00:15:25] war, the third Ramadan War. Mr. Doctor,
[00:15:28] if you recall, in 2024, our martyred
[00:15:31] Supreme Leader issued a message,
[00:15:35] which you read on the media horizon that
[00:15:38] year to us, when the editorial board and managers were present.
[00:15:42] The martyred Leader, in that message,
[00:15:45] considered us superior
[00:15:48] in military forces even in the field
[00:15:52] and battle that he predicted.
[00:15:55] Please tell us a little about this topic, and it seems to
[00:15:59] me that what he saw in 2024,
[00:16:02] which was the future horizon, we
[00:16:05] in 2025
[00:16:07] and 2026 actually materialized it in the national
[00:16:11] media. As you say, the
[00:16:14] very broad vision that our martyred Leader
[00:16:18] had regarding the media,
[00:16:20] the role of the media, and the media battleground
[00:16:24] was perhaps unparalleled. As you mentioned,
[00:16:27] in his short message,
[00:16:29] he stated
[00:16:32] that today the role of
[00:16:35] the victor in the field
[00:16:38] is played by someone, or someone is victorious in the field,
[00:16:41] who can both correctly grasp it and convey the
[00:16:45] message. In this regard, the media, as our martyred
[00:16:48] Imam interpreted it, is more and earlier
[00:16:51] than military tools in determining the battleground.
[00:16:55] He used the words "more" and "earlier." Well, at that time, as a valuable
[00:16:59] teaching, which in a way,
[00:17:02] with various interpretations, had been discussed about
[00:17:05] the importance of media. Our martyred Leader himself had
[00:17:09] repeatedly stated it. But when a few months later
[00:17:13] we encountered bitter
[00:17:15] and difficult events, such as the martyrdom of the President
[00:17:18] and then the conflicts we had with the regime
[00:17:22] after Operation True Promise 1, and then we entered
[00:17:25] two full-scale wars, a 12-day war
[00:17:29] and the recent war, the so-called third imposed
[00:17:33] war. In these periods,
[00:17:36] it became clear to us how much
[00:17:40] the foresight of our martyred Leader and his keen insight
[00:17:43] in just a few sentences helped us in crisis
[00:17:46] management. You see, "more and earlier"
[00:17:50] doesn't just mean that we should be the first to narrate,
[00:17:54] which is of course very important. The first narration
[00:17:57] certainly has great importance in enabling the media
[00:18:01] to manage public opinion. But more important than the first
[00:18:05] narration, in the sense of who reports an event first,
[00:18:08] is who has a more accurate, correct, and timely understanding
[00:18:12] of the event. That is, in the moment,
[00:18:15] it is the media that must correctly distinguish
[00:18:19] between the side of truth and the side of falsehood. It is in the moment that it must be able
[00:18:22] to give an accurate description of the field. It is in the moment
[00:18:26] that it must be able to express its behavior,
[00:18:29] its report, its narration, its perspective on the event.
[00:18:33] It must explain. These are what change the scene, and these are
[00:18:36] what determine who will be the winner and loser of the scene.
[00:18:40] I'll give an example, because you have a live connection, I don't want
[00:18:44] to make my example too long, but right now, look, the narration
[00:18:48] we have of what happened in the third imposed Ramadan
[00:18:51] War can be narrated in several ways. The narration
[00:18:54] that is being given to the scene
[00:18:56] from outside, and the experts, analysts, and
[00:19:00] media of the world are looking at us,
[00:19:03] and mostly and generally independent
[00:19:06] and impartial media, even media affiliated with the enemy,
[00:19:10] consider Iran the winner of this scene, and consider Iran
[00:19:13] to have the upper hand, compared to a perspective
[00:19:17] that, in some specific cases,
[00:19:20] would say, "No, the enemy has the upper hand." This is the role of the
[00:19:23] media to see the scene, to diagnose, to narrate, and
[00:19:27] to explain. I believe that our colleagues have successfully
[00:19:31] implemented this valuable guidance from our martyred Imam.
[00:19:34] In this past year and a half,
[00:19:43] during which we have constantly been managing crisis, managing war,
[00:19:46] and managing public opinion, it has become clear to us how
[00:19:49] precise, appropriate, and,
[00:19:53] I might add, constructive and decisive this guidance
[00:19:56] has been for our path in the national media. It seems that one
[00:20:00] of the successful presences of the national media, in addition
[00:20:03] to what really happened on June 16, 2025, after
[00:20:07] the attack on the news glass building, and the work done
[00:20:11] by our esteemed colleague, Ms. Emami, in this war,
[00:20:14] another of our colleagues in Yasuj did a similar
[00:20:17] thing and mobilized all the people
[00:20:21] to control that city. If you agree,
[00:20:24] Mr. Hosseini, if the connection is established with your colleague,
[00:20:28] please go ahead,
[00:21:10] If you agree, please explain
[00:21:13] what happened in the news
[00:21:17] studios at IRIB. Actually,
[00:21:52] it was on April 2nd
[00:21:55] that, upon seeing Zionist-American enemy
[00:21:59] helicopters in the sky of
[00:22:01] [inaudible],
[00:22:03] Dena Provincial Network, with the prudence
[00:22:07] of the esteemed Director General
[00:22:10] of Dena Provincial Network, did something
[00:22:14] truly remarkable. A self-initiated
[00:22:17] and completely professional effort.
[00:22:22] They gathered the radio and television staff,
[00:22:26] even though that day, April 2nd, was a Friday and a holiday,
[00:22:30] and fewer staff were present in the provincial
[00:22:33] networks on that day. Nevertheless,
[00:22:37] all of us who were there gathered,
[00:22:40] and the esteemed Director General ordered that we must
[00:22:44] cover this news before fear and
[00:22:47] panic spread among the people of the province
[00:23:13] with the loss of antenna and the military march that was broadcast from Dena Provincial Network, made people wonder
[00:23:16] what had happened. What happened was this:
[00:23:22] the Zionist-American enemy's aircraft
[00:23:25] had been hit, and there was a high
[00:23:29] probability that the pilot or pilots had ejected
[00:23:32] and landed within the geographical
[00:23:36] area of the province. For this reason,
[00:23:40] we needed a public mobilization, and fortunately,
[00:23:43] Dena Provincial Network brought about this public
[00:23:47] mobilization throughout the
[00:23:50] province. All the people of our province, both cold
[00:23:53] and warm regions, especially the brave
[00:23:56] and valiant nomads with rifles
[00:23:59] in hand, entered areas where it was likely
[00:24:03] that the pilot was there.
[00:24:06] The pilot or pilots, I apologize.
[00:24:10] And that's how
[00:24:14] the epic
[00:24:17] was created. The pilot or
[00:24:38] pilots, and
[00:24:41] fortunately, it worked out well, and it was well
[00:24:45] received, and the feedback it received was,
[00:24:48] I can say, from almost
[00:25:30] or enemy pilots alive
[00:25:33] and hand them over to the military
[00:25:37] and police forces. You will be rewarded
[00:25:40] and given a suitable prize.
[00:25:43] If you see a helicopter or drone,
[00:25:46] like a lion, shoot it down.
[00:26:15] Everyone in Iran who had a small gun
[00:26:19] picked it up and was shooting at our
[00:26:22] helicopters. This is
[00:26:25] Iran. The headquarters
[00:26:27] of Salman. Every Iranian soldier
[00:26:31] is alone.
[00:27:02] The enemy in the hands of Meyar Isfahan
[00:27:05] and this infiltration they had made, they wanted
[00:27:09] to commit that theft in Kohgiluyeh
[00:27:12] and Boyer-Ahmad province, in Isfahan province,
[00:27:15] various provinces that were involved in this incident, the fingerprint
[00:27:18] of the national media remained in this great historical event.
[00:27:22] That is, in the scene of the enemy's defeat, this call
[00:27:25] in local language, requesting fellow citizens
[00:27:28] that whoever saw the plane, whoever saw the pilot, should go and catch
[00:27:32] him and receive a reward. This remained
[00:27:35] and was proven in the historical
[00:28:06] with the head of the organization's research center, who pointed out
[00:28:10] that according to evaluations, the news channel has been the most popular
[00:28:14] channel in recent months. This indicates people's trust, in addition
[00:28:17] to the fingerprint you mentioned. I want to ask you, from your perspective,
[00:28:21] given this position and this reception, what do you think
[00:28:25] was the reason for the attacks against the organization, especially
[00:28:28] in recent weeks? Look,
[00:28:32] our work continues in the most difficult
[00:28:35] periods of contemporary history. That is, the conditions
[00:28:39] we have faced in recent years, not just us, but the whole
[00:28:43] country, are going through exceptional and special conditions.
[00:28:47] We have, after all, witnessed very bitter events during
[00:28:50] this period, the bitterest of which was the martyrdom
[00:28:54] of the great Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the martyrdom of our elders,
[00:28:58] the martyrdom of Ayatollah Raeisi, our President, and our dear
[00:29:01] compatriots, our commanders, and of course, there have also
