[00:00:25] Hello, the most important news at 21
[00:00:27] tonight.
[00:00:31] Livelihood support for the people and addressing the demands of
[00:00:34] retirees are on the agenda of the President's government.
[00:00:37] Commodity credits will be increased soon.
[00:00:41] We will increase commodity
[00:00:44] prices and their cash values. With
[00:00:48] the empathy and cooperation we will have with you and all the people of Iran,
[00:00:51] we will solve our problems and
[00:01:01] Global fuel markets victimized by America's warmongering.
[00:01:04] The largest Latvian airline declared
[00:01:08] bankruptcy. The Speaker of Parliament's taunt at America's
[00:01:12] false narratives. Containing oil prices is no longer
[00:01:16] possible.
[00:01:25] Heavy missile and drone strikes by Yemeni
[00:01:28] armed forces on targets. Saudi military,
[00:01:31] coinciding with continued advances in areas under the control of
[00:01:35] Saudi mercenaries.
[00:01:38] With dozens of missiles and drones, we targeted
[00:01:42] aircraft hangars, radars, runways
[00:01:45] and ammunition depots at the Khamees Mashayt base.
[00:01:48] We
[00:01:51] launched a historic joint declaration by Scotland,
[00:01:54] Wales, and Northern Ireland for independence, triggering the
[00:01:58] breakup of England.
[00:02:16] of regional developments, for the fifth day, has been examining
[00:02:20] the opening of new fronts. The power of the Yemenis
[00:02:24] has taken on a new form, and the competition to control
[00:02:27] it. The economic and military
[00:02:31] arteries have strengthened the resistance front.
[00:02:34] Now, after the Strait of Hormuz, for several
[00:02:38] days, the name of the Strait of Bab al-Mandab has been on everyone's
[00:02:42] lips, and internet searches have been
[00:02:45] directed towards it. The Yemeni
[00:02:48] dagger has already done its job and has shaken
[00:02:51] the international economy. The strategy
[00:02:54] of siege that the Saudis have been employing against Yemen for nearly a decade
[00:02:58] has, with the counter-siege strategy,
[00:03:02] turned in favor of Ansar Allah this time and has embroiled
[00:03:05] Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea. According to The
[00:03:09] Guardian newspaper, new satellite images apparently
[00:03:12] show a crude oil pumping station
[00:03:16] on the key 1200-kilometer east-west pipeline in Saudi Arabia
[00:03:19] burned after drone attacks on Friday.
[00:03:22] Among those internet searches where Bab al-Mandab
[00:03:25] was prominent, the word "energy" and not "oil" has become more prominent,
[00:03:29] especially in America. Oil prices are still above
[00:03:33] $100. Diesel prices have increased by about
[00:03:36] 70% compared to last year, and according to
[00:03:39] Bloomberg, diesel prices in
[00:03:42] San Diego reached up to $10.
[00:03:45] One of the retired commanders of the US
[00:03:49] Army blamed Iran for the economic pressure in the US and said
[00:03:52] that the US faced an economic war with Iran and some
[00:03:56] of Iran's allies with an asymmetric approach.
[00:04:02] Many of America's allies in the region are distancing themselves from it because
[00:04:06] they can no longer rely on America. America has become
[00:04:10] lonelier, and then its expulsion from the region
[00:04:13] is an issue that the senior spokesman of our armed forces emphasized
[00:04:16] some time ago. Iran's revenge
[00:04:19] on America. In this
[00:04:22] atmosphere, CBS America published an interview with a rescued
[00:04:26] F-15 pilot in Iran that will restore
[00:04:30] America's public image. Media outlets
[00:04:33] like CNN and Daily 20 and American
[00:04:36] virtual activists also described it as a propaganda show,
[00:04:39] Hollywood-style, and an attempt by the Pentagon to repair
[00:04:43] the narrative of America's highly unpopular war with Iran.
[00:04:46] At the same time as these Hollywood narratives in America, however, a new
[00:04:50] narrative has been published about Iran's cracking of the
[00:04:53] F-35 radar. A stealth
[00:04:56] aircraft that sometime ago,
[00:05:00] Iran's modern air defense in the Strait of Hormuz locked
[00:05:03] onto it, and it hurriedly left the area.
[00:05:06] This crack is important because
[00:05:10] we had already shot down an F-35 before. And with
[00:05:13] this recent crack, it means we can shoot them down more easily
[00:05:17] if they approach Iran's borders, and if they do,
[00:05:21] the same fate will befall them as befell one of their advanced drones
[00:05:25] today. Today, the
[00:05:27] IRGC shot down a US MQ-1 drone
[00:05:31] over the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:05:34] something that will also happen to
[00:05:38] rogue ships at sea.
[00:05:40] The Persian Gulf Waterway Management Authority, with a warning,
[00:05:44] has announced the names of 77 rogue ships,
[00:05:47] telling their partners to be careful not to let their ships pass
[00:05:50] through these waters, otherwise, whatever happens in the Strait of Hormuz
[00:05:54] is on them. Regarding the navigation in
[00:05:57] this strategic strait, there was supposed to be a meeting in Oman
[00:06:01] today, which has been cancelled. The reason for its cancellation
[00:06:04] was cited by Mr. Baghaei, the spokesman of the foreign policy apparatus,
[00:06:08] as a request from Saudi Arabia. Although if this meeting had
[00:06:11] been held,
[00:06:13] it would not have had any benefit, but apparently Saudi Arabia is angry
[00:06:17] that the Yemenis have stood up to them again after 10 years and have also
[00:06:20] taken control of the Bab al-Mandab strait, and they attribute
[00:06:24] it to Iran's strategy. Of course,
[00:06:27] it was the Yemenis' own strategy, and the Iranian strategy
[00:06:31] during the third imposed war was in their own way.
[00:06:35] In addition to the armed forces, this
[00:06:38] Iranian strategy has added another front line to the
[00:06:42] battlefield, bringing the
[00:06:45] people to the streets at night.
[00:06:49] The nightly presence, which is approaching 20 nights,
[00:06:52] and this Friday, 313,000
[00:06:56] Iranian volunteers representing
[00:06:59] other volunteers will raise the flag of vengeance
[00:07:02] and revenge in the capital of Iran.
[00:07:06] News at 21, presented by my colleague, Ms.
[00:07:09] Hosseinzadeh.
[00:07:27] welcome to the detailed news of this
[00:07:30] hour. The President, in a friendly meeting with
[00:07:33] a group of retirees, said that the amount of the commodity card will
[00:07:37] definitely increase, and certainly in the area of health and treatment
[00:07:41] for retirees and livelihoods. Constructive decisions will be made.
[00:07:44] Mr. Pezeshkian, in this meeting, considered
[00:07:48] unity and solidarity as the key to resisting America's
[00:07:51] bullying and emphasized that we will never bow down to America.
[00:07:54] How are you
[00:08:48] and 300 thousand retirees, with a strike of 10
[00:08:51] million eyes, were focused on this meeting.
[00:08:53] And
[00:08:56] the President came, and the retirees one by one
[00:09:00] went to the podium. Greetings to our dear President, from
[00:09:04] Social Security and steel retirees, to
[00:09:07] telecommunications and civil service retirees. Mr.
[00:09:11] President, please help with our treatment. Another problem that exists in the discussion
[00:09:14] of equalization is for
[00:09:18] telecommunications retirees. Please achieve social
[00:09:21] justice for retirees. They frankly, clearly, and
[00:09:24] sincerely shared their concerns with the
[00:09:34] good situation. The retirees considered
[00:09:37] this friendly meeting historic. We have not seen
[00:09:40] a president come and sit like this with
[00:09:51] The President heard all the concerns and went to the podium and said
[00:09:54] that within the next week, he will hold a meeting to
[00:09:58] follow up on these problems, because I don't want to make promises that later
[00:10:02] I say things here that you like, but then I can't implement them. This
[00:10:06] week we will have a meeting. The President announced an increase in the amount of commodity cards.
[00:10:09] We will definitely increase the price of the commodity card.
[00:10:20] Now, we will increase its amount. We will definitely address your health and treatment issues. He issued a warning to those who take advantage of this situation for essential goods. We have allocated resources for essential goods. We just need to buy them correctly, at the right price, and with quality. Many times, they buy in a way that the price is not what it should be. Now, who will say, "Why are you doing this?" Injustice, meaning for our essential
[00:10:24] goods, we have allocated resources. We just have to
[00:10:27] buy them correctly, buy them at a good price,
[00:10:31] buy them with quality. Many times, they buy them in such a way that
[00:10:34] the price is not what you should buy. Well, now,
[00:10:37] who will say, "Why are you doing this?" Injustice, that is,
[00:10:41] in reality, a product that is, for example, one toman,
[00:10:44] they bring us a bill for 10 tomans
[00:10:47] that we have to pay. In this situation, where we have to be
[00:10:51] careful, some people are taking advantage of this situation.
[00:10:56] Unfortunately, the President then referred to American bullying
[00:10:59] and said that the solution is solidarity and unity.
[00:11:03] Now, he has closed the way and wants to impose sanctions. Who do sanctions harm?
[00:11:07] They harm the people.
[00:11:10] These human rights advocates who are sitting there from
[00:11:13] Europe and America, and Iranians who claim
[00:11:16] to be Iranian, and incite them to do these
[00:11:20] wrong things, who do they want to pressure?
[00:11:22] Fairness is also a good thing. Now,
[00:11:28] We haven't had a meeting like this before, where all the retirees
[00:11:32] gathered. On the sidelines of this meeting, the Minister of Welfare
[00:11:36] had a few good news. The first news is that retirees
[00:11:39] can register on the Zarrin Tamin system
[00:11:43] and buy gold at a fixed price. And there was also news
[00:11:47] regarding the endowments of retirees. Bank Refah has promised
[00:11:50] us that by the end of Mehr (October),
[00:11:53] through the e-wallet.
[00:12:28] Executive bodies are obliged, from October 1st to 9th,
[00:12:32] to register the information of their company forces and contracting
[00:12:35] companies in the unified administrative
[00:12:39] system platform. The included bodies
[00:12:43] must also, by September 31st, obtain
[00:12:46] a username and password through the Smart Government
[00:12:49] system.
[00:12:51] The cabinet handed over
[00:12:55] the closure of schools to the Ministry of Education. This news was
[00:12:59] announced by the Minister of
[00:13:01] Education. The pollution
[00:13:05] index in the world, in the whole world,
[00:13:08] nowhere in crises have they moved towards
[00:13:11] closure. Everyone has moved towards management.
[00:13:14] They managed it. Sir, it's pollution.
[00:13:18] Well, no problem. We will manage the activities of students.
[00:13:22] We plan for it.
[00:13:33] although it has not yet been communicated to us, but it was approved.
[00:13:36] Mr. Mohibbi was there. Everyone voted
[00:13:39] unanimously that the Ministry of Education should be the
[00:13:42] decision-making authority.
[00:13:47] The Head of the Judiciary, by issuing an order for a comprehensive
[00:13:51] review of the performance of state and loss-making companies.
[00:13:55] Emphasized transparency in spending and managers'
[00:13:58] salaries. Mr. Mohseni Ejei, while warning about
[00:14:02] illegal bonuses received by board members
[00:14:05] of loss-making companies, ordered
[00:14:08] an inspection of the budget allocation and the amount of
[00:14:11] salaries received by these managers. He
[00:14:14] issued the order.
[00:14:16] The budget of companies is generally more than
[00:14:20] the government's own budget.
[00:14:24] The warning from the Head of the Judiciary
[00:14:55] reported that 1535
[00:14:58] people were illegally serving on boards of directors. They were notified
[00:15:02] and, as they say, resigned.
[00:15:05] Criminal charges were filed against 359
[00:15:08] people. If anyone acquired
[00:15:11] illicit wealth, they must return it. The next agenda item
[00:15:15] for the Head of the Judiciary was to support production and remove obstacles
[00:15:19] that might halt the activity of economic enterprises.
[00:15:22] Support for economic actors who work honestly,
[00:15:26] to remove obstacles to production,
[00:15:29] to devise strategies for those who own small and
[00:15:33] large enterprises, problems may arise
[00:15:36] for them. This should not cause that center
[00:15:39] and their production facility to shut down. But in the second
[00:15:43] part of the Supreme Judicial Council meeting, the head of the Country's
[00:15:46] Registry of Deeds and Properties announced the issuance of property
[00:15:50] deeds for some underprivileged areas of the country. A plan
[00:15:54] is being implemented in Golestan under the title of poverty
[00:15:57] alleviation in Golestan villages, a joint
[00:16:00] work of the Housing Foundation, the Judiciary, the Registry,
[00:16:03] and the Governorship. Yesterday, we were present in two villages, Hajj Agha,
[00:16:10] and we presented the documents to the residents who
[00:16:14] are now residing in their new homes. The Chief Justice
[00:16:17] of Tehran Province also reported on the latest
[00:16:20] status of the multi-claimant Ramak Khodro case.
[00:16:24] The first hearing of the
[00:16:27] 12-day war case was held yesterday,
[00:16:31] and the criminal case of Ramak
[00:16:35] Khodro was also issued. The judiciary emphasized
[00:16:38] to judicial officials to act seriously and decisively in
[00:16:42] the fight against corruption. Malih Pejman, IRIB
[00:16:45] News Agency.
[00:16:47] The Governor
[00:16:54] of the Central Bank, in his speech at the meeting
[00:16:58] of the Central Bank Governors of Islamic Countries, referred
[00:17:01] to America's oppressive sanctions against Iran. Mr.
[00:17:05] Hemmati, on the sidelines of this meeting:
[00:17:32] against crisis and geopolitical shocks.
[00:17:34] He considered the combination of policies
[00:18:09] as one of Iran's strategies against America's oppressive
[00:18:13] sanctions. Due to the war that America and Israel
[00:18:17] have started against the Islamic Republic
[00:18:21] and the pressure of sanctions they have created, it has caused
[00:18:24] uncertainties in our country. These uncertainties have also
[00:18:28] been created in the monetary aspect, which is reflected in the inflation
[00:18:32] perceived by the people. Another issue is the
[00:18:36] exchange rate and our foreign exchange market. Well, we have explained
[00:18:40] that, after all, the work we are doing, our first
[00:18:43] priority is to control inflation, and our second
[00:18:47] priority is to control the exchange rate
[00:18:50] and help provide essential goods and livelihoods for the people.
[00:18:54] The people are under pressure, the people are having difficulties, they are suffering, inflation
[00:19:37] BRICS members, the CEO of the Ministry of Oil's investment
[00:19:41] group, Soup Oil and Gas, announced the export of
[00:19:44] petroleum products, the creation of a regional electricity exchange ring, and
[00:19:47] the connection of the energy markets of the Persian Gulf and Central
[00:19:51] Asia as Iran's most important proposals for cooperation
[00:19:54] with BRICS members. Mr. Abouri
[00:19:58] said that Iran, with its extensive oil and gas reserves, has the
[00:20:01] ability to provide sustainable energy to BRICS members. Mr.
[00:20:05] Abouri also listed the recovery of flared
[00:20:08] gases, methane emission reduction,
[00:20:11] refinery modernization, optimization of energy consumption, and
[00:20:15] investment in the Chabahar and North-South corridors
[00:20:19] as other opportunities for cooperation with BRICS
[00:20:21] members.
[00:20:25] The IRGC public relations announced the destruction of an advanced
[00:20:28] US MQ-1 drone. This advanced drone
[00:20:32] was targeted by the fire of the IRGC's new advanced
[00:20:35] aerospace defense system and,
[00:20:38] under the control of the country's unified air defense network,
[00:20:42] was intercepted and destroyed
[00:20:45] over the
[00:20:48] Strait of Hormuz.
[00:20:50] The Persian Gulf Waterway Management Authority warned
[00:20:53] affiliated organizations about violating vessels: Do not provide
[00:20:57] services to these vessels. The Persian Gulf Waterway
[00:21:00] Management Authority, while updating the list of violating
[00:21:04] vessels on the GS.R
[00:21:07] website, warned insurance companies,
[00:21:11] protection and indemnity clubs, and classification societies
[00:21:15] to refrain from providing services to these violating
[00:21:18] vessels to avoid
[00:21:30] consequences. The US government, to control prices,
[00:21:33] has resorted to various tools, including false narrative creation,
[00:21:37] direct intervention in oil market relations, and
[00:21:41] releasing strategic reserves with the aim of creating a psychological
[00:21:44] and price shock, all of which have lost their effectiveness.
[00:21:48] He wrote:
[00:21:52] The upward and unstoppable trend of oil prices will
[00:21:55] continue in the future. Mr. Ghalib, in this
[00:21:59] message, reminded that the next phase of the market
[00:22:02] has begun. A phase that the US government can
[00:22:06] pretend to be unaware of.
[00:22:08] The spokesman of the Ministry of
[00:22:11] Foreign Affairs, referring to the postponement of the meeting between Iran
[00:22:15] and the Persian Gulf littoral states in Oman, said: It was expected
[00:22:18] that the regional countries would be opportunistic and
[00:22:22] appreciate such opportunities. Mr. Baghaei
[00:22:26] announced that this meeting was postponed at the request of
[00:22:29] Saudi Arabia.
[00:22:32] This was a very suitable
[00:22:34] opportunity. I don't think any
[00:22:38] responsible party would accept
[00:22:41] that this opportunity should be wasted for any reason,
[00:22:44] whether due to the influence of parties outside the
[00:22:48] region, or
[00:22:50] due to excuses that really have no connection
[00:22:53] to Iran, we should not hold this
[00:22:57] meeting.
[00:23:01] According to the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the agreement
[00:23:05] between Iran and Oman has been finalized, and
[00:23:08] with the consultation of the two countries, a decision will be made on how
[00:23:11] to announce or register this agreement.
[00:23:15] Mr. Baghaei also rejected the claim of
[00:23:18] Iran's interference in
[00:23:20] the events in Yemen, stating that the clear expression of Iran's positions
[00:23:24] regarding Yemen should not be considered interference. The Yemenis
[00:23:27] make their own decisions, and Ansar Allah is an independent party
[00:23:31] that makes decisions in the
[00:23:33] interest of the Yemeni people.
[00:23:41] Continued advance of Yemeni armed forces and missile and drone attacks
[00:23:45] on Saudi Arabia's oil and military
[00:23:48] facilities. The Guardian newspaper reported that following
[00:23:51] Yemeni attacks, Saudi Arabia will lose its
[00:23:55] ready-to-export oil reserves
[00:23:58] that could affect up to 4% of the global
[00:24:02] oil supply. Satellite images published
[00:24:05] show
[00:24:08] missile and drone attacks by Yemenis on
[00:24:11] fighter jet hangars and ammunition depots at King Fahd
[00:24:15] and Khamis Mushayt airbases.
[00:24:19] We
[00:24:35] will continue to consolidate the equation of siege for siege and escalate tension for
[00:24:39] escalated tension until the aggression stops and
[00:24:42] the siege ends. Other satellite images
[00:24:46] also report heavy strikes by Yemeni armed forces on
[00:24:50] the oil pumping and transfer pipelines from east to west
[00:24:53] of Saudi Arabia, which, according to
[00:24:57] news sources, will be extensively out of operation
[00:25:00] for several weeks for repairs. The artery
[00:25:04] of Saudi Arabia's energy has stopped, and
[00:25:07] its geopolitical safety valve has failed. The suspension of
[00:25:11] oil pumping and transfer operations on the east-west line means
[00:25:15] a potential reduction in Aramco's ability to transfer crude oil from
[00:25:19] production areas.
[00:25:50] vital maritime passages in West Asia,
[00:25:53] and in return, it is Iran and its allies
[00:25:56] that control the two main oil shipping
[00:26:00] routes.
[00:26:04] Developments in Yemen and the Iran war showed that the region has entered
[00:26:08] a phase of decline of the American era. America's dominance and
[00:26:12] also the Saudi monopoly of influence in the region
[00:26:16] were all causes of many conflicts and interventions in all
[00:26:19] regional and national affairs. The Yemeni victory and the Saudi
[00:26:22] mercenaries' control over Bab al-Mandab has concerned
[00:26:26] the Zionists. The Yemenis'
[00:26:29] control over the Bab al-Mandab Strait
[00:26:33] has caused serious fear and concern among Israeli
[00:26:36] officials. They are now concentrated around the Bab
[00:26:39] al-Mandab Strait and the western coast, and with their direct
[00:26:43] fire, such as firing anti-tank missiles, they can
[00:26:47] both target our ships and affect
[00:26:50] global trade. The New York Times, in
[00:26:54] a report, wrote: The control of the Yemeni armed forces
[00:26:58] over the Bab al-Mandab Strait and its vital
[00:27:01] surrounding areas is completely clear and obvious, and what has happened
[00:27:05] shows Iran's superiority over
[00:27:07] America. Sanzoni,

[00:27:15] The largest Latvian airline declared bankruptcy.
[00:27:19] According to Reuters, the company, due to financial pressures
[00:27:23] from the US war with Iran and its consequences for the
[00:27:27] aviation industry, filed for bankruptcy with a court
[00:27:30] in New York
[00:27:33] and requested restructuring of its heavy debts.
[00:27:36] The CEO of AirBaltic cited
[00:27:40] a sharp increase in costs, especially fuel costs, and regional conditions
[00:27:43] as factors putting pressure on the company's financial
[00:27:47] situation.
[00:27:50] More than a documentary, it was a Hollywood movie.
[00:27:54] This is the users' narrative about CBS's
[00:27:57] report on the rescue of an American pilot in
[00:28:00] Iran.
[00:28:04] Of the whole story that was narrated, this American user
[00:28:07] sarcastically says he only believed one sentence, which the
[00:28:11] program host also said: The correct part of this report
[00:28:14] is the host's sentence, "A story you wouldn't believe."
[00:28:18] What he says he didn't believe is the CBS report
[00:28:21] and this lie that an American pilot was introduced.
[00:28:24] A narrative about the downing of an American fighter jet in Iran,
[00:28:28] the failure of the parachute to open, and the continuation of the story.
[00:28:33] My parachute was damaged, and I looked up and saw there was no
[00:28:37] parachute at all. Experts believe that I hit the ground
[00:28:41] at a speed of 110 to 160 kilometers
[00:28:44] per hour. The CBS reporter said that after hitting the ground
[00:28:48] at 160 kilometers per hour, his spine
[00:28:51] broke, his arm and shoulder broke, and his ankle
[00:28:55] was crushed. Also, his face was injured. Despite all
[00:28:58] this, he still moved away from the scene despite
[00:29:01] his injuries. I quickly moved away from the scene.
[00:29:05] Users who saw this also wrote that it was more than
[00:29:08] a report or a documentary, it was a Hollywood movie.
[00:29:11] This is a completely fabricated Hollywood story. Fighter jets
[00:29:15] have been shot down, but Americans cannot digest
[00:29:18] such a thing. Therefore, instead, they deliver us
[00:29:22] an inspiring story. Even for Superman, this story is unbelievable. I feel
[00:29:26] that the US government is selling its fantasies. A pilot who
[00:29:30] has ejected in the most dangerous situations. He climbs
[00:29:33] a mountain. Some users also said that in a situation where the
[00:29:37] Strait of Hormuz is in Iran's hands and Bab al-Mandab is in the hands
[00:29:39] of Ansar Allah, the publication of such narratives is not unexpected.
[00:29:43] The fact that America suddenly decided to broadcast
[00:29:46] the film after several months is due to the pressure
[00:29:49] it is facing because of the news about Ansar Allah.
[00:29:52] The main goal is to correct the
[00:29:56] narrative management. Americans are strongly committed to establishing
[00:29:59] the narrative of Dasht-e Mehyar, Isfahan, with that.
[00:30:04] An American user wrote on his page that this is one of
[00:30:08] the most fabricated narratives he has heard, a fabricated
[00:30:11] narrative to sell a heroic image of America. Mohammad Javad

[00:30:17] The leaders of
[00:30:19] Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales, by signing
[00:30:23] a historic joint declaration, emphasized the right of the
[00:30:26] people of these regions to self-determination and called
[00:30:30] on the British government to prepare for constitutional changes.
[00:30:33] The First Minister of Scotland has announced that the people
[00:30:37] of this country should again decide on independence in a referendum,
[00:30:40] and the British government should not prevent its
[00:30:43] holding. The First Ministers of
[00:30:46] Wales and Northern Ireland also emphasized that their nations
[00:30:50] have the right to vote on their political future
[00:30:53] and that the democratic will of the people
[00:30:57] should not be hindered.
