[00:01:45] The Alaj monitoring and information system has started its work with the aim
[00:01:48] of identifying and punishing
[00:01:50] news. Bab al-Mandeb, foreign traitors. Treason to Iran has legal
[00:01:54] consequences, and foreign traitors will be deprived of
[00:01:57] their citizenship rights.
[00:02:01] What a thin line between a virtual activist and
[00:02:05] someone who, under the guise of beautiful words, paves
[00:02:09] the way for the destruction of their own land. From the coup of December to the imposed war,
[00:02:12] a delusion was created for some that treason to Iran in the digital
[00:02:16] world has no legal or human consequences.
[00:02:20] But history will never forget these faces.
[00:02:23] Those who danced with the enemy's flag when bombs and missiles were raining
[00:02:27] down on the people and children of this land. Those who placed flowers in front of the Zionist regime's
[00:02:31] embassy and thanked them for the bombing of Iran.
[00:02:34] Those who denied the reality of the bombings,
[00:02:40] of Allah. Hasten begged for more sanctions and war, and under the false disguise, justified the destruction
[00:02:45] Hasten to of the country's infrastructure. I would like to point out a few things about the infrastructures that are
[00:02:49] likely to be among the targets of subsequent operations.
[00:02:53] The goal of these operations is not to harm the Iranian people.
[00:02:56] Hasten to They hit the bridges, and then we realized, "Oh, it was the biggest bridge in the Middle East."
[00:02:58] What is it? Very much. They are destroying
[00:03:02] Hasten to salvation. infrastructures that are still within the scope of the military
[00:03:05] operations of the Islamic Republic. We gathered this because
[00:03:09] Trump will continue his attacks on the Islamic
[00:03:13] Republic. If you encounter an American soldier on Iranian soil,
[00:03:16] what should you do? Keep your hands visible.
[00:03:20] Those who censored the truth and ridiculed the veterans of
[00:03:24] this land. But the reality is that every
[00:03:28] false data and every encouragement to attack online became
[00:03:31] fire in the real world. A fire that affected
[00:03:35] infrastructure and people's lives, without its perpetrators
[00:03:38] ever having to take responsibility.
[00:03:40] ببینن
[00:03:43] Home is for picking.
[00:03:46] This is where Alaj is born. Alaj is a popular movement
[00:03:50] and a monitoring and information system that has started
[00:03:54] its work with the aim of identifying and punishing foreign traitors.
[00:03:58] The main mission of Alaj is to protect national security and the interests of the Iranian
[00:04:01] people against anti- national movements, separatist
[00:04:04] terrorists, promoters of sanctions, and military attacks.
[00:04:08] Treason to Iran has consequences and legal repercussions.
[00:04:11] The punishment for this treason is carried out through
[00:04:14] the deprivation of citizenship rights and the termination of
[00:04:18] financial and media access of foreign traitors. Now,
[00:04:22] the era of digital responsibilities has ended. Complete confiscation
[00:04:25] of assets, complete suspension of consular services, and
[00:04:29] the issuance of Interpol Red Notices for these traitors
[00:04:33] has only one message: no traitor can escape
[00:04:36] the consequences of their actions. Alaj requests all Iranian
[00:04:40] people to register the identity of these traitors on the Alaj
[00:04:43] website or the address @AlajGroup
[00:04:47] in the Bale and Eita messaging apps. It also assures
[00:04:50] that the identity of all reporters and popular
[00:04:54] sources in this system is completely confidential,
[00:04:57] encrypted, and protected. Mohammad Javad Reza
[00:05:01] Soltani, IRIB News
[00:05:03] Agency.
[00:05:07] Completion of three American enemy war crime cases in
[00:05:10] Hormozgan. The Chief Justice of Hormozgan says: these
[00:05:14] investigations are related to three American enemy war
[00:05:18] crime cases in the attack on Shahid Mirzaei tunnel,
[00:05:20] Ab Anji desalination plant, and Hajjiabad environmental
[00:05:24] protection, which, according to the directive of the Prosecutor
[00:05:27] General of the country, will be sent to the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor's
[00:05:31] Office of Tehran for investigation and indictment. These
[00:05:35] thick files are of the war crimes of the Third Imposed
[00:05:38] War in Hormozgan. To compensate for the damages
[00:05:42] and uphold the rights of the victims
[00:05:45] of the Zionist-American attacks, the Hormozgan
[00:05:48] judiciary has opened and completed five cases. The most
[00:05:52] important of these cases, which was sent to Tehran for further
[00:05:55] investigation, is the case of the martyrdom of 168
[00:05:59] students, teachers, and parents
[00:06:03] at Tayyebah Minab Elementary School. The prosecution stage is over
[00:06:06] and it has gone to court for the issuance of a criminal
[00:06:10] sentence. The civil case was also referred to experts.
[00:06:14] In the Third Imposed War, the people of Hormozgan
[00:06:18] witnessed the martyrdom of innocent people, from the guardian of
[00:06:21] natural resources in Hajjiabad to the two-year-old Sina in Gheshm.
[00:06:24] Of course, damage to facilities and roads was
[00:06:28] another crime of the terrorist US army in Hormozgan.
[00:06:31] The case of the attack on the desalination
[00:06:34] plant of Bumani has been sent to Tehran.
[00:06:38] Recently, three cases of attack on Shahid Mirzaei tunnel,
[00:06:42] attack on
[00:06:45] Banji desalination plant, and attack
[00:06:48] on the environmental protection of Hajjiabad city were also completed.
[00:06:52] For each case, a verdict is issued from
[00:06:56] both criminal and civil perspectives. Of course, the Ministry
[00:06:59] of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with the judicial system,
[00:07:03] is also pursuing the US crime cases in Iran in
[00:07:07] international bodies. Hossein Ezdehai, IRIB
[00:07:10] News Agency.
[00:07:15] The results of studies by experts show that far-right parties
[00:07:19] and groups in Europe are no longer a marginal
[00:07:22] movement. The latest example has emerged in Germany,
[00:07:26] where the far-right Alternative party managed to win
[00:07:29] 44% of the votes in the state elections.
[00:07:33] آورد.
[00:07:36] Everyday economic and social problems in European countries
[00:07:40] increasingly provide the grounds
[00:07:45] for politicians and like-minded media to link the problems
[00:07:49] of these countries to immigrants and Muslims,
[00:07:52] inciting people against them and their supporters.
[00:07:55] بشورانند.
[00:07:57] The main policy of populist parties is opposition to
[00:08:01] immigrants. They portray immigrants as the cause
[00:08:05] of problems and insecurity. The slogans and positions
[00:08:08] of European right-wing parties are similar to
[00:08:12] Trump's. In the UK, over the past months, several
[00:08:15] waves of Islamophobia and anti-immigrant sentiment, fueled
[00:08:18] by the lies of individuals and far-right groups on social
[00:08:22] media, led to an increase in attacks against Islamic
[00:08:26] sites and the homes and shops
[00:08:28] of Muslims and immigrants. In the latest incidents, two days
[00:08:32] after a demonstration against immigrants in the port of Dover,
[00:08:35] hundreds of black-clad men in the city of Portsmouth
[00:08:39] violently threatened immigrants and clashed with the police.
[00:09:43] Social watchdogs in England believe that
[00:09:47] structural racism,
[00:09:49] supported by a large number of English
[00:09:52] politicians, has led to a rapid increase in
[00:09:56] attacks on Muslims and other minorities in the country,
[00:10:00] and has created a bleaker outlook for them
[00:10:04] in this society. Mojtaba
[00:10:06] Ghasemzadeh, IRIB News Agency, London.
[00:10:09] Stay with us.
[00:10:48] They have from the port of Al-Mukha all the
[00:10:51] way down to the Bab al-Mandeb.
[00:10:55] Uh, that's 70 kilometers from the city of
[00:10:59] Al-Muqas, so it seems that they have
[00:11:02] the western Red Sea coastal line. However, the Ansar
[00:11:06] Allah have issued a statement yesterday stating that the
[00:11:09] only ships that are going to be prevented from access through Bab
[00:11:12] al-Mandeb are Saudi ships, and that's because of the
[00:11:16] blockade for blockade equation that the Ansar Allah
[00:11:19] has announced.
[00:11:59] Dear listeners,
[00:12:02] please pay attention.
[00:12:05] This is the voice of Yemen.
[00:12:08] We announce to you, we announce to you
[00:12:12] a historic
[00:12:15] this vital passage for global
[00:12:18] trade, has become free
[00:12:22] at the hands of the brave Yemeni armed forces.
[00:13:36] Early February 2026 in Minneapolis, two months of
[00:13:39] a long winter have passed. Protesters came to this federal detention center.
[00:13:43] We suspect something is happening
[00:13:47] because they are loading. The thing is, if we give up, if
[00:13:50] we retreat, they will win. That's
[00:13:54] why we shouldn't give up. That's why we shouldn't abandon the work. That's
[00:13:58] why we must stay on this path. We must stand firm and not take
[00:14:02] a single step back. Following major operations in Los Angeles
[00:14:05] and Chicago, thousands of US Immigration and Customs
[00:14:09] Enforcement agents launched an unprecedented mission to find
[00:14:12] and deport undocumented immigrants in Minnesota.
[00:14:16] These agents are accused of serious violations of laws
[00:14:19] against Minneapolis residents, including the killing of two
[00:14:22] protesters. Do you even
[00:14:26] know what you're doing? This issue has shaken the foundation
[00:14:30] of American democracy to its core.
[00:14:33] You are bad people. You are harming our society.
[00:14:36] زنید
[00:14:39] You don't know that you are making history
[00:14:42] unless a lot of time has passed. We are exactly at that
[00:14:46] moment
[00:14:46] now.
[00:15:01] Good morning.
[00:15:05] As I walk the streets of Minneapolis, a week has
[00:15:09] passed since the killing of Alex Pretty, an anti-Immigration
[00:15:12] and Customs Enforcement protester. Alex
[00:15:15] Pretty, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse,
[00:15:18] was targeted and killed by federal agents
[00:15:21] during a protest on January
[00:15:25] 24, 2026. This was the second
[00:15:28] fatal shooting by ICE agents of
[00:15:31] a protester in the city. And now,
[00:15:35] but
[00:16:07] they live. I live here. I'm
[00:16:11] stuck on this bed and mattress. At first, there
[00:16:14] were three of us here, but one left. Now, there
[00:16:18] are two of us living here.
[00:16:20] Hanad, which is the pseudonym of this person, was born
[00:16:23] in Somalia. In 2024, he was
[00:16:27] forced to flee his country for his own safety,
[00:16:31] after his father and brother were both killed by al-Shabaab
[00:16:34] militants. I came back from 12 countries.
[00:16:38] There were days when people had nothing but water
[00:16:42] to eat and drink for more
[00:16:43] than 10 days.
[00:16:46] He came to the United States for asylum, was given
[00:16:50] temporary protected status, but is now at
[00:16:53] risk of deportation.
[00:16:56] Before these people started their operations, I had
[00:16:59] a good life. I lived in my own house and
[00:17:03] could pay rent, but when these people showed up, everything fell apart.
[00:17:06] In January, coinciding with the harsh approach of
[00:17:10] Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement, it was announced
[00:17:13] that temporary protected status for Somalis would be
[00:17:17] revoked overnight. Hanad and other Somalis
[00:17:21] like him were targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
[00:17:24] My temporary protected status was revoked on
[00:17:28] March 17th. I no longer had any immigration
[00:17:32] status in the US other than asylum.
[00:17:34] It's truly terrifying. 100%. I am
[00:17:38] definitely very anxious and very scared. Sometimes
[00:17:41] I have nightmares that the authorities have arrested me and deported
[00:17:45] me back to where I came from. The problems I had when I left
[00:17:48] Somalia, which forced me to undertake this arduous journey, are still
[00:17:52] unresolved. If I go back, something worse might happen,
[00:17:55] for example, I might be killed. Why do
[00:17:59] you think the Trump administration does this to people
[00:18:01] like you? I really don't understand why they targeted us,
[00:18:05] especially Somalis. We are hardworking people.
[00:18:09] We are a hardworking community. We have not committed
[00:18:11] any crimes. I really don't know why
[00:18:14] they do this.
[00:18:23] Minnesota has the largest Somali immigrant population in the
[00:18:26] United States. When Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement
[00:18:30] operations reached Minneapolis, this neighborhood became
[00:18:33] the center of conflict. The largest operation in the history
[00:18:36] of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with nearly 3,000
[00:18:40] federal agents focusing on individuals deemed a serious
[00:18:44] threat to this community. We have arrested and detained
[00:18:47] thousands of illegal criminals. In early December 2025,
[00:18:51] after reports of a welfare fraud scandal by a group
[00:18:54] of Somalis were published, the situation worsened. These two
[00:18:58] childcare centers receive about $3 million a year, while
[00:19:02] there are no children there. Trump, Republicans, and conservative
[00:19:05] media called this scandal a sign of widespread misuse
[00:19:09] of public funds by undocumented immigrants.
[00:19:12] Somalis defrauded this state of billions
[00:19:15] of dollars. The escalation
[00:19:18] of attacks against all Somalis residing in the US
[00:19:21] was intended to legitimize this harsh treatment.
[00:19:25] We need to deport millions of these illegal immigrants, dangerous
[00:19:28] foreign criminals, criminals, street gang members,
[00:19:31] and terrorists. It's an absolute mistake to bring more trash
[00:19:35] into our country. We must
[00:19:38] our country. The harsh crackdown by Trump's
[00:19:42] Immigration and Customs Enforcement has caused the established
[00:19:45] Somali community in Minnesota to collapse. This is Karma Mall,
[00:19:48] one of the first Somali shopping centers and the largest
[00:19:51] in the US. Okay, and
[00:19:55] this business is really affected by this harsh treatment of Somali
[00:19:59] immigrants. Yes, we used to see a lot of traffic here, right?
[00:20:02] But the fact that it's so empty now clearly shows how much
[00:20:06] businesses have suffered.
[00:20:09] Mohamed, a Somali activist residing in this state, says that Somali Americans have been emotionally
[00:20:13] traumatized by constant harassment, threats, and now
[00:20:17] business closures. This is the backbone of our
[00:20:20] community. These people came to America to build a better
[00:20:24] life for themselves. For some of the women who started
[00:20:28] businesses here, this was like a dream. While talking,
[00:20:31] a local shopkeeper joins
[00:20:35] our conversation. The real problem.
[00:20:37] Yes, yes, we had trouble paying
[00:20:40] rent. Aisha Jillani manages one of
[00:20:44] the oldest Somali restaurants in this center. Like
[00:20:47] the vast majority of this community,
[00:21:01] they are very scared. Do you think your business
[00:21:04] will survive or not? I don't think so. We can't continue
[00:21:08] like this. Of course, we don't support those who cause
[00:21:12] trouble for this country, but there must be a better way to deal
[00:21:16] with this phenomenon than arresting every person who walks down
[00:21:20] the street. For example, that woman who died a few days ago affected
[00:21:24] me a lot. Every mother understands how painful it is for
[00:21:27] a mother to leave her child at home and never
[00:21:31] return. Calm down, calm down. Don't
[00:21:33] cry.
[00:21:37] Don't hurt
[00:21:38] yourself.
[00:21:43] In the name of Allah. In the name
[00:21:47] of Allah.
[00:21:50] In the name of Allah, Light
[00:21:53] of Light. In the name of Allah,
[00:21:55] Light upon Light.
[00:21:59] In the name of Allah,
[00:22:01] Light
[00:22:04] upon Light. In the name of Allah,
[00:22:07] Light upon
[00:22:10] Light. In the name of Allah.
[00:22:13] Allahu Akbar,
[00:22:15] Allahu Akbar,
[00:22:17] Allahu Akbar.
[00:22:25] Allahu Akbar.
[00:22:28] I bear witness that there is no
[00:22:31] god but Allah.
[00:22:36] I bear witness that there is no
[00:22:39] god but Allah.
[00:22:46] I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
[00:22:54] Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad
[00:22:58] is the Messenger
[00:23:06] of Allah. I bear witness that Ali
[00:23:09] is the Wali
[00:23:15] of Allah. I bear witness that Ali
[00:23:19] is the Hujjah
[00:23:30] to prayer.
[00:23:35] prayer.
[00:23:46] salvation.
[00:24:04] Hasten
[00:24:07] to the best
[00:24:09] of deeds.
[00:24:12] Hasten to
[00:24:16] the best of deeds.
[00:24:58] Why should I answer? Why, if you're not a citizen of this country, do you have
[00:25:02] to have immigration documents? Why shouldn't I be a citizen of this country?
[00:25:05] They all have guns, pepper spray, tasers, and all kinds
[00:25:09] of such equipment, and they came only to bully, terrorize, and
[00:25:13] harass people. What do you mean by asking if you don't hear my accent?
[00:25:16] That's why. So now you're judging based on accent? I want to know. Well.
[00:25:39] You used too much. What was the necessity? And he didn't even care. Someone just got killed.
[00:25:42] Why? Why did you shoot that woman? Answer
[00:25:45] me. Today, an officer shot a woman in the head.
[00:26:33] I want to clearly show that they are not welcome here. And
[00:26:37] when I say "they," I mean the people who hold power,
[00:26:41] the MAGA base, the racists,
[00:26:44] the white supremacists. They want to make it clear
[00:26:47] that they hate anyone who isn't like them, a white man.
[00:26:51] The tension is so high that, excuse me, but this woman saw
[00:26:55] you here and thinks that you're also for Immigration
[00:26:59] Enforcement. Yes, she said they asked her for documents. We are reporters.
[00:27:23] It wasn't just civil resistance and the Somali community
[00:27:27] that were targeted by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
[00:27:31] How are you? I'm
[00:27:48] her skin color is an accusation in itself.
[00:27:51] Melina Peña, 34 years old and a mother of three.
[00:27:55] She works as a nurse in a city hospital. Alright,
[00:27:59] guys, about 5 ICE cars
[00:28:02] are currently moving on 10th Street.
[00:28:05] Two are behind me.
[00:28:08] One is going that way now. I'm going
[00:28:12] this way. On January 15th, she had just finished a
[00:28:16] 12-hour night shift and dropped her daughter off at school
[00:28:19] when she passed a convoy of Customs and Immigration officers. Another
[00:28:23] one was there.
[00:28:27] This one is also coming.
[00:28:31] So stop the car.
[00:28:58] pulled me out of my car and threw me to the ground. Because I'm small, he could easily
[00:29:01] pick me up from there and then slam me against the car. I told
[00:29:05] them I was an American citizen. I told them that I was even
[00:29:09] a nurse. When you told them you were an American citizen,
[00:29:13] what did they say? They said it didn't matter who you were.
[00:29:17] They said it didn't matter at all. At those
[00:29:20] moments, did you feel like a citizen of the United States of America? No, I felt
[00:29:23] like a criminal. During the arrest, Melina's phone
[00:29:27] fell from her hand, but a local resident started filming this scene
[00:29:31] as officers handcuffed Melina.
[00:29:34] At that time, did they justify why they were doing
[00:29:37] this to you or not? The officers said that I attacked them.
[00:29:41] They told each other, "You saw it too," and they confirmed
[00:29:45] and said, "Yes, we saw her attack." I said, "What are you talking about?
[00:29:48] I didn't touch you." I felt like this scene was unreal. How
[00:29:52] can someone lie so easily? This whole ordeal was like
[00:29:56] a kidnapping. Melina was not told where they were taking her,
[00:30:00] and she was eventually transferred to the Whipple
[00:30:03] Detention Center. They didn't even give her a chance to call a lawyer
[00:30:07] or anyone. I thought my whole life was falling apart. When they
[00:30:11] were registering my information, one of the officers said, "You're
[00:30:14] a nurse? Say goodbye to your nursing profession. You'll never
[00:30:18] nurse again." They said that I would even lose my children
[00:30:22] and go to federal prison. They were laughing to themselves
[00:30:25] and making fun of me, as if they were enjoying it.
[00:30:29] They treated
[00:30:31] me as if I wasn't human. I felt
[00:30:35] that they didn't want me here, as if I didn't
[00:30:38] belong
[00:30:39] here.
[00:30:46] After 9 hours, Melina was handed over to her family.
[00:30:49] What impact do you think these events had on your
[00:30:52] children? I feel like the children can no longer
[00:30:55] trust what we believe in as a country. Dear friends, finally, from friends.
