[00:00:00] to
[00:00:20] Hello to you. The most important news at 21
[00:00:23] tonight.
[00:00:26] The president among the media said that the US violation
[00:00:29] of the Islamabad declaration was the reason for the recent confrontation with it.
[00:00:33] Iran acted powerfully with reliance on
[00:00:36] the field and diplomacy. The memorandum of understanding
[00:00:39] should have been implemented based
[00:00:42] on the instructions that the Islamic Republic and Oman
[00:00:46] wrote together. They did not act on it.
[00:00:49] We also responded.
[00:00:52] Iran's six conditions for unlocking the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:00:55] from ending threats to lifting sanctions.
[00:00:59] Secretary of the Council.
[00:01:01] The Supreme National Security Council said America should reform
[00:01:03] its behavior.
[00:01:07] Washington's fear of continuing the war with Iran became
[00:01:11] more apparent. The commander of the US Army, while warning
[00:01:14] about the consequences of escalating the conflict,
[00:01:17] called for a way out. Air power
[00:01:21] has its limitations, and these limitations
[00:01:24] must always be considered. Trump's hasty decision
[00:01:28] to enter into war with Iran completely emptied the warehouses,
[00:01:32] and now withdrawing from the war is the only option
[00:01:34] on the table. And the day of the narrators
[00:01:38] standing for truth and information,
[00:01:41] August 7th, narrated by those who
[00:01:45] remained so that people would know.
[00:01:49] As a media fighter, you had the duty to show
[00:01:52] this truly great presence of the people. Hussein Hussein
[00:01:56] Hussein Hussein defenses are active. doing.
[00:02:30] With an analytical introduction, News 21 tonight, on the
[00:02:34] 16th and 2nd day of the imposed war,
[00:02:37] we are with you. A war that a
[00:02:40] colonizer and murderer imposed on us. A description
[00:02:44] that the president used for America
[00:02:47] in front of reporters. Today, which was Reporters' Day
[00:02:50] for us. In total,
[00:02:53] the most frequent news topic was this imposed war
[00:02:56] by Zionist America, and specifically this.
[00:03:00] When will the Strait of Hormuz open? This question again
[00:03:04] had a clear answer from the Secretary of the Supreme
[00:03:07] National Security Council, the Foreign Minister,
[00:03:11] and the spokesperson of the IRGC. The Secretary of the Supreme
[00:03:14] National Security Council clearly listed six
[00:03:17] important conditions for the people, saying that the Strait
[00:03:21] of Hormuz will not open unless America accepts
[00:03:25] Iran's conditions, including lifting sanctions and siege,
[00:03:28] paying compensation, freeing assets,
[00:03:32] and ending aggression against Iran
[00:03:35] and Iran's allies, from Lebanon and
[00:03:38] Yemen to Palestine and Iraq.
[00:03:42] Yes, the Strait of Hormuz is Iran's golden
[00:03:45] weapon, a name that the Singaporean newspaper "Straits
[00:03:49] Times" gave to the bottleneck of Hormuz,
[00:03:52] and wrote that Iran, by controlling this strait,
[00:03:56] put America under such pressure that American officials
[00:03:59] no longer talk about the initial goals of the war,
[00:04:03] even Iran's nuclear program. And all their thoughts
[00:04:06] and concerns have become the opening of the Strait
[00:04:09] of Hormuz. This issue has frightened the Zionist
[00:04:13] enemy to the extent that the newspaper Haaretz reported
[00:04:16] that the war did not limit Iran's nuclear program,
[00:04:19] but rather gave Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:04:23] and in this way, Trump, as Israel's best friend,
[00:04:26] was sidelined from the region weaker than before.
[00:04:30] Trump, who claimed to have the strongest and
[00:04:34] best-equipped army in the world to subdue Iran,
[00:04:37] is now, according to the Hong Kong newspaper South China Morning
[00:04:41] Post, in a terrible situation
[00:04:44] due to his inability to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:04:48] and surrender is the only option
[00:04:52] he has. taken.
[00:04:55] According to the Japan Times, the belief in the absolute
[00:04:58] power of the US military has also faded among the people
[00:05:02] and politicians of the world after the battle with Iranian
[00:05:05] military technologies, from precision missiles to low-cost but
[00:05:08] efficient drones. This has faded. Of course,
[00:05:13] if Trump, as the Atlantic magazine says, was not
[00:05:17] arrogant and did not ignore
[00:05:20] the warnings of some American commanders about not entering
[00:05:24] into war with Iran for the sake of immortalizing
[00:05:27] his name in history. Now CNN would not report
[00:05:31] that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces
[00:05:34] is looking for a way to escape the war.
[00:05:38] General Dan Kine explained to Trump's advisors
[00:05:41] to persuade Trump to accept the reopening
[00:05:45] of the Strait of Hormuz as a symbolic victory
[00:05:47] so that a way out of the war could be found.
[00:05:51] Perhaps perhaps the content that Trump
[00:05:55] published two days ago about his victory
[00:05:58] based on an article is related to this important issue.
[00:06:01] Of course, the pressure of failure in the war
[00:06:04] is not just on Trump, it's also on his generals
[00:06:08] at various levels. Like the commander of the 5th
[00:06:11] Army Corps in Europe, whose
[00:06:14] sudden dismissal was announced today. This
[00:06:18] American general had previously warned about America's weakness
[00:06:22] in defending against technologies similar to
[00:06:25] Iranian drones. Certainly,
[00:06:29] Trump's arrogant nature had made him
[00:06:33] ignore these words, and as
[00:06:36] Hillary Clinton, the former
[00:06:40] US Secretary of State, said, it made him
[00:06:43] a loser in the war with Iran,
[00:06:46] just like Saddam. As
[00:06:49] the martyred leader said, Trump
[00:06:52] will also turn to dust,
[00:06:55] but the Islamic Republic will continue
[00:06:59] to stand. Well, I apologize to my colleagues.
[00:07:02] The detailed news will be presented by my colleague,
[00:07:05] Ms. Hosseinzadeh. to you.
[00:07:07] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
[00:07:16] O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad
[00:07:20] and hasten their relief.
[00:07:23] Dear and esteemed viewers, good evening and welcome
[00:07:27] to the detailed news at 21:00.
[00:07:31] The president emphasized in a press conference
[00:07:34] that we will not compromise on the rights of the Iranian nation
[00:07:38] on the path of peace. Mr. Pezeshkian, stating that America is untrustworthy,
[00:07:41] said: "Developing economic relations with regional
[00:07:45] countries and regional organizations is the government's strategy
[00:07:49] to counter external pressures and sanctions." Mr.
[00:07:52] Pezeshkian, in response to a reporter's question about the government's
[00:07:56] attention to people's livelihoods, said: "Since the beginning
[00:07:59] of the 14th government, despite the problems,
[00:08:03] economic issues, including people's livelihoods and the provision
[00:08:06] of essential goods, have been a priority,
[00:08:10] and despite two wars,
[00:08:13] we have not faced a shortage of goods in the country."
[00:08:35] The past year was a tumultuous and eventful
[00:08:38] year for the news community. If I want to talk about the memory of March
[00:08:42] 9th, which was perhaps the worst day I have experienced in recent years.
[00:08:46] The events we witnessed, from the war, from the
[00:08:50] assassination of the martyred leader of the revolution, the martyred
[00:08:54] president, all these events happened in the past two or three years,
[00:08:57] it was very strange and, in my opinion, a complete package
[00:09:01] of journalism. I think the media people's pride is that
[00:09:05] they stayed at the glass building. Most importantly, the people
[00:09:08] of Mina, it really makes one's heart
[00:09:11] ache.
[00:09:22] With success,
[00:09:25] the answer to the injustices that were done to our country
[00:09:28] and shows the dynamic body of the Islamic system
[00:09:32] and the Iranian nation. The children who are in this
[00:09:35] meeting have not had a proper rest for a year,
[00:09:38] from you who were in the IRIB to the other children
[00:09:42] who are in the media.
[00:09:47] I hope these difficult days will end and from now on we will broadcast good news for the people. and we will
[00:09:51] report.
[00:09:51] The Q&A session at the president's
[00:09:57] second press conference began with the lottery
[00:10:00] of these flowerpots. Mr. President,
[00:10:03] are you aware of the people's livelihoods
[00:10:07] and do you have a plan to improve
[00:10:10] the people's livelihoods and tables? It's good that there's no problem
[00:10:13] in the market, it's commendable.
[00:10:16] We held meetings with officials and tradesmen
[00:10:20] to manage the market. We held
[00:10:23] meetings with the chamber. We held meetings with industrialists.
[00:10:27] We asked them to cooperate with us, and they did.
[00:10:30] It's not like that. If they hadn't cooperated, the situation would have been much worse.
[00:10:34] They cooperated and tried to control
[00:10:37] the market. In every society, there are some people
[00:10:41] who commit violations no matter what you do. They are also
[00:10:44] being pursued by the tradesmen themselves, and we are also trying
[00:10:48] to pursue it and hopefully resolve the management.
[00:10:51] When the concern of reporters is also the people's
[00:10:55] problems, the president also forgets to congratulate
[00:10:58] those who work in this field. Now they gave us
[00:11:02] this paper, we forgot to congratulate you on Reporters' Day.
[00:11:06] Because the situation of people's livelihoods,
[00:11:08] I don't know, the questions you asked
[00:11:12] made us forget everything, that is, the concern that
[00:11:16] exists is truly a legitimate concern.
[00:11:19] We congratulate you, dear ones, on your day, Reporters' Day.
[00:11:22] We hope that you can
[00:11:26] honestly and fairly
[00:11:28] carry out the heavy
[00:11:32] responsibility that rests on your shoulders, based on the expediency that exists
[00:11:36] in the country. Mr. Pezeshkian also had a request
[00:11:39] from reporters. We are now looking for
[00:11:42] mission-oriented work.
[00:11:45] And those who can work
[00:11:48] should define their scope of work
[00:11:52] to see where they can fix things. We will delegate legal authority
[00:11:56] and managerial authority
[00:11:59] to them. That means we will hire people based on expertise,
[00:12:02] based on performance, not based on
[00:12:06] whether they are, for example, a party, a group,
[00:12:09] I don't know, a friend, or an enemy. You, as
[00:12:13] reporters, should also supervise. Of course, we also supervise ourselves. That is,
[00:12:17] we are involving universities to oversee our work
[00:12:20] and be able to do this. The president continued.
[00:12:24] He said: Iran has acted powerfully
[00:12:28] in the Islamabad agreement with reliance on the field and diplomacy,
[00:12:31] and the reason for Iran's confrontation with America in recent
[00:12:34] days has been the American side's violation
[00:12:38] of this agreement. America
[00:12:41] is a colonialist. America is a murderer.
[00:12:43] If America had the power, it might not want
[00:12:47] the Islamic Republic to exist. Are you sure?
[00:12:51] But these talks and these discussions and these
[00:12:55] expert analyses forced it to cooperate.
[00:12:58] Why do we weaken ourselves? Why do we destroy
[00:13:02] the achievements we have?
[00:13:04] Then they violated the Strait
[00:13:07] of Hormuz. They violated
[00:13:09] it. Because according to that,
[00:13:13] the memorandum of understanding should have been implemented
[00:13:16] based on the instructions that the Islamic Republic
[00:13:20] and Oman wrote together,
[00:13:21] but they did not.
[00:13:24] We responded. Of course, the Foreign Minister also provided
[00:13:28] additional explanations to reporters. We are discussing
[00:13:32] a temporary route, and we are almost
[00:13:34] very close to a conclusion. Work
[00:13:38] is being done
[00:13:41] on the maps of this route, which have been prepared
[00:13:44] by the armed forces. The determination
[00:13:48] of this route between Iran and Oman is not
[00:13:52] necessarily an opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:13:56] It depends on other conditions,
[00:13:59] and the violations of the memorandum
[00:14:02] of understanding by America must be compensated one by one,
[00:14:05] and all of them must
[00:14:08] be fulfilled so that the Strait of Hormuz
[00:14:12] can be opened
[00:14:13] according to
[00:14:16] the Supreme National Security Council. The Supreme National Security
[00:14:20] Council stated that the current situation, I must say frankly,
[00:14:23] is the result of America's violation of the memorandum
[00:14:27] of understanding. You talked for two and a half hours, Dr.
[00:14:29] How was it? You should say how
[00:14:33] we came to hear their words. They complained that we came late,
[00:14:36] and they were right, but it was a war, but even so,
[00:14:40] I didn't ask about their concerns, again, the people's concerns were raised.
[00:14:43] We all care about the people, and this is something that
[00:14:47] now the biggest concerns we have are the people.
[00:14:51] And a commemorative photo of the reporters with the president concluded today's meeting.
[00:15:06] America must change its behavior. The Secretary of the Supreme National
[00:15:10] Security Council said that as long as America does not approve
[00:15:13] its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will not open. Mr. Zolghadr
[00:15:17] in this message, by listing Iran's six conditions for unlocking
[00:15:20] the Strait of Hormuz, emphasized that America must end
[00:15:24] its threat and naval blockade of Iran
[00:15:28] and stop the war and aggression against Lebanon,
[00:15:31] Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq. The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council
[00:15:35] also demanded full compensation for the damages
[00:15:38] of the two aggressive and imposed wars on Iran,
[00:15:42] and added that all oppressive and illegal sanctions
[00:15:45] against Iran must be lifted, and Iran's stolen
[00:15:49] assets must be released unconditionally. Mr. Zolghadr, stating that the Iranian
[00:15:53] people have shouted these demands
[00:15:56] in 160 days of relentless presence
[00:16:00] in the streets, emphasized that the Supreme National Security
[00:16:03] Council will never back down from pursuing
[00:16:07] these demands, neither
[00:16:09] in war nor in negotiations.
[00:16:13] The IRGC spokesman also emphasized that the reopening of the Strait
[00:16:16] of Hormuz is conditional on America accepting Iran's
[00:16:20] conditions and refraining from interfering in regional
[00:16:23] negotiations. General Mohebbi, who traveled to the south
[00:16:27] of the country, told Hormozgan reporters: "The Strait
[00:16:30] of Hormuz is not just an economic waterway for Iran,
[00:16:34] but a strategic geographical power
[00:16:37] component. Its reopening is subject to the specific
[00:16:41] mechanisms and conditions of the Islamic Republic
[00:16:44] of Iran."
[00:16:47] The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army warned
[00:16:51] about the consequences of continuing the war with Iran. CNN
[00:16:54] reported that General Dunford, Chairman of the Joint
[00:16:58] Chiefs of Staff of the US Army, specifically told a number of senior
[00:17:02] Trump administration officials, including John Rat.
[00:17:05] The United States
[00:17:17] needs to find a way to escape the war with Iran.
[00:17:21] According to this report, General Dunford
[00:17:25] warned that the military options proposed for escalating
[00:17:29] the conflict might have counterproductive results,
[00:17:32] and also said that it is unlikely that air power alone
[00:17:36] can achieve the stated goals.
[00:18:07] to the pre-war situation, and not even completely,
[00:18:10] because now there is talk of collecting tolls for ships passing
[00:18:14] through, and this is a historical humiliation
[00:18:17] for America, a humiliation that may remain in memories
[00:18:21] for a generation. This description is not an exaggeration,
[00:18:25] because the result of using all of America's arsenal
[00:18:28] and air power against Iran was that
[00:18:31] now the world is forced to pay tolls
[00:18:35] to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:18:38] Iran's military and missile capability in defending
[00:18:41] our international waters and its control over
[00:18:45] it has marked the decline of American dominance
[00:18:47] in the region.
[00:18:50] If one day prominent historians want to write
[00:18:53] the history of the decline of the American empire,
[00:18:56] Iran's control over this strait and America's withdrawal from this war
[00:19:00] will be its key chapter. David Miller, who, according to himself, spent
[00:19:03] his entire life at negotiation tables on West Asian affairs,
[00:19:06] says: "Hormuz and America's bases
[00:19:09] in the region were Washington's two weaknesses
[00:19:13] that made Iran victorious."
[00:19:17] America is on the verge of a major defeat.
[00:19:20] A significant strategic defeat. To be honest,
[00:19:24] if the war ends today, it will be a victory
[00:19:27] for Iran and a defeat for America. They identified
[00:19:30] America's weaknesses. America's bases in regional
[00:19:34] countries and the Strait of Hormuz. This issue itself gives them an advantage.
[00:20:07] America must find a way out of the war
[00:20:11] with Iran, because the military options on the table
[00:20:15] for renewing the conflict could have adverse
[00:20:18] results. It is unlikely that American air
[00:20:21] power can achieve the stated goals of Trump
[00:20:25] in the war with Iran. IRIB
[00:20:29] News Agency The families
[00:20:33] of sailors and marines stationed on the USS
[00:20:36] Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier of the terrorist
[00:20:39] US Army say that long working hours, lack
[00:20:43] of food supplies, and difficulty in obtaining
[00:20:46] basic hygiene products not only threaten
[00:20:50] the continuation of military service but also the normal
[00:20:54] lives of the crew of this ship with serious
[00:20:57] danger. The military personnel of the USS Abraham Lincoln
[00:21:00] broke a record that no one
[00:21:03] wants.
[00:21:05] Currently, about 5,000 people are on this ship.
[00:21:09] They recently broke a record that no one in the US
[00:21:12] Navy wants to break, which is the most consecutive
[00:21:16] days at sea. Nine months at sea and
[00:21:20] five months of fighting against Iran has been met
[00:21:23] with protests from the military personnel on this ship and their families
[00:21:27] about the lack of basic facilities. This is a topic
[00:21:30] that MSNBC covers and opens the conversation
[00:21:33] with families. The morale is low.
[00:21:36] They don't have enough food. They can't shower.
[00:21:40] They don't have hygiene products. Trump doesn't want
[00:21:44] bad media coverage about this, but you can't tell
[00:21:47] me he doesn't know what's going on here.
[00:22:20] is a member of the US House of Representatives who attributes
[00:22:23] it to the disorganization
[00:22:24] of Trump and his administration.
[00:22:28] This happens when you enter a war for which the president
[00:22:32] had no plan. No plan, no
[00:22:35] strategy, and no idea. Now, in addition to the shortage
[00:22:39] of military equipment, add this fatigue and
[00:22:42] weariness of the military personnel. This feeling is increasing
[00:22:46] week by week from soldiers and their families.
[00:22:50] The network itself, in an interview with military families,
[00:22:53] ends with a quote from Trump's voters: that they voted for him
[00:22:57] because he constantly emphasized that he intended to end
[00:23:01] America's foreign wars. Ghazal Badiei,
[00:23:04] IRIB News Agency.
[00:23:12] As it was presented at the beginning of the news,
[00:23:15] the president had a meeting with reporters today, the first
[00:23:19] part of which will be presented to you
[00:23:22] after this news segment. However, the heads of the branches
[00:23:26] and military and civilian officials, in separate messages,
[00:23:29] congratulated Reporters' Day and appreciated the efforts
[00:23:32] and struggles of media professionals in the two recent
[00:23:35] of Intelligence also emphasized
[00:23:39] in a message that reporters play a prominent role
[00:23:42] in preserving and increasing the resilience and cohesion of society,
[00:23:46] and in the failure of the American-Zionist enemy and its soldiers.
[00:23:58] Awareness and their weapon is truth, he wrote:
[00:24:01] The children of this land will not allow the enemy
[00:24:05] to build its important victories on public opinion.
[00:24:08] Mr. Qalibaf also referred to the third imposed war
[00:24:12] and stated: News people narrated the farewell
[00:24:16] of the martyred leader: 160 nights
[00:24:20] of the powerful presence of the people in the streets
[00:24:23] became global with their narrative, and in fact,
[00:24:27] they displayed a part of the national power of this land. The head
[00:24:31] of the judiciary also stated in a message that a committed
[00:24:34] reporter is a comrade-in-arms of the fighters,
[00:24:37] writing: United reporters of the country, in the most
[00:24:40] difficult days of the past year, with courage and responsibility,
[00:24:43] guarded the borders of public awareness and national
[00:24:46] cohesion. Hojjat al-Islam Mohseniye,
[00:24:50] referring to the enemy's cognitive war,
[00:24:53] described the pen of a committed reporter as an arrow
[00:24:57] in the bow of national authority and emphasized
[00:25:00] that we consider responsible and humble accountability
[00:25:03] to reporters in the judiciary
[00:25:07] as our duty. The First Vice President described reporters as the true
[00:25:10] heroes of the battle of narratives and emphasized that August
[00:25:14] 17th, the anniversary of the martyrdom of Martyr Mahmoud Saremi,
[00:25:17] is a reminder of the truth that journalism
[00:25:21] is not a job, it is a historical calling
[00:25:25] for knowledge, courage, and freedom. The General Staff
[00:25:28] of the Armed Forces and the Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam
[00:25:32] al-Anbiya, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Army of the Islamic Republic
[00:25:35] of Iran, the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics,
[00:25:39] the Minister of Interior, the Commander-in-Chief of the Law Enforcement Force of the Islamic Republic
[00:25:42] of Iran, and the Spokesperson of the Guardian Council
[00:25:46] also, in separate messages, congratulated Reporters' Day
[00:25:50] and praised the efforts of media professionals in the two recent imposed wars.
[00:25:53] The head of national media, in a message on this occasion,
[00:25:57] emphasized: From the days of the Sacred Defense
[00:26:01] to national events, from cultural and social
[00:26:04] spheres to difficult fields, our colleagues
[00:26:07] in the IRIB media have strived to convey
[00:26:11] the voice of the Iranian people, the glory and independence
[00:26:14] of this nation, and the truth of the steadfastness and cultural
[00:26:18] life of Islamic Iran to the world.
[00:26:22] IRIB News Agency. On a day called
[00:26:25] Reporter's Day, IRIB News Agency hosted
[00:26:29] officials from various institutions and members
[00:27:02] of the cultural committee. Praise be to God, it shined brightly. We hope
[00:27:06] that we in the parliament, the esteemed government,
[00:27:10] and all those who can help, will help
[00:27:13] so that this media stands alone
[00:27:16] against about 300 international news agencies
[00:27:20] that are working in Persian and other languages against the Islamic Republic,
[00:27:23] and this IRIB stands against all of them
[00:27:27] and confronts them and can
[00:27:29] respond.
[00:27:35] Your work is a very great work, and news
[00:27:38] and news agencies have their own jurisprudence
[00:27:41] and system. And do we know these
[00:27:45] things so that we can observe them and, God forbid,
[00:27:48] not make a mistake?
[00:27:51] The true war was the information
[00:27:54] war, the media war.
[00:27:58] And on this basis, the national media
[00:28:01] was targeted. When they saw
[00:28:04] that in this war, praise be to God, it performed
[00:28:07] well, IRIB has the media authority of the country. The media
[00:28:11] issue is not just news, it's everything. This is
[00:28:14] a great event that has happened, praise be to God, in the field
[00:28:18] of media authority of the country and the official media of the Islamic Republic of Iran
[00:28:22] must be national, and this IRIB has become national by law.
[00:28:25] It is national. We consider it our duty
[00:28:28] to support more than ever
[00:28:31] the dear ones who work hard in IRIB. Our expectation
[00:28:35] from IRIB is that
[00:28:37] it should
[00:28:40] also take the creation and development
[00:28:43] of the country's cultural identity more seriously
[00:28:46] for future generations. A journalist is the awakened
[00:28:50] conscience of our society. He is the one who, in the storm
[00:28:53] of events, is the anchor of truth.
[00:28:57] These dear ones work day and night
[00:29:00] to create
[00:29:02] transparency, eliminate ambiguity,
[00:29:06] and build trust for the people.
[00:29:09] If false and untrue news
[00:29:13] is being spread, the media must
[00:29:16] quickly intervene before that narrative
[00:29:20] is reflected in people's minds. Appreciation for a world
[00:29:23] of effort from dear ones who, in all
[00:29:27] fields and all areas, at various times,
[00:29:29] are truly pioneers and leaders. Today,
[00:29:33] one of the fields is the media. Who has the first
[00:29:36] narrative? It's a war of narratives.
[00:29:39] Today, the frontline soldiers
[00:29:42] of the soft war and cognitive war
[00:29:46] are your colleagues, and I am sure that
[00:29:49] in this war, which has been accompanied by the victory
[00:29:52] of the great nation of Iran, your colleagues
[00:29:56] have played a very big role. God bless the colleagues
[00:29:59] of the political deputy, the journalist colleagues,
[00:30:03] and the behind-the-scenes colleagues. The political deputy
[00:30:06] of the IRIB also thanked and appreciated the journalists
[00:30:10] for a busy year of news. He thanked his colleagues
[00:30:14] in this way: Last year was a very
[00:30:17] challenging year for all
[00:30:20] journalists, not just in Iran, but in the world,
[00:30:23] because the developments in Iran were at the forefront
[00:30:25] of the news of all international
[00:30:29] and, of course, domestic media.
[00:30:32] IRIB had a rebirth in this war. Therefore, I dare to say
[00:30:36] that the provisions of the Seventh Program must be fully
[00:30:39] implemented with respect to the organization in terms of budgetary
[00:30:43] support. Journalists are on the front
[00:30:46] lines of the soft war, confronting that
[00:30:50] conspiracy and the enemies' plans. How
[00:30:53] determining a position they have!
[00:30:57] Media professionals, journalists, have been commissioned
