[00:00:24] A senior member of Yemen's Ansar Allah movement emphasized that Yemen
[00:00:27] supports Iran against the US and
[00:00:31] will not back down from this stance despite pressures.
[00:00:35] Hamid Assem said: We say this clearly. Yemen's positions are
[00:00:38] aligned with the axis of resistance, which we identify with and
[00:00:42] form a united front with. No one
[00:00:46] can separate us and defeat us. He added:
[00:00:49] We explicitly declare that the people and armed forces of Yemen are ready with all
[00:00:53] their might to stand alongside any Arab or
[00:00:57] Islamic country that faces military aggression. Whether in
[00:01:00] Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, or Syria.
[00:01:03] Hamid Assem, in explaining the operation to clear
[00:01:06] strategic coastal areas of Yemen, including the port of Mokha and
[00:01:10] Hodeidah, said: The aggressive coalition intended to turn
[00:01:13] Yemen's strategic coasts into a
[00:01:17] Zionist nest by equipping its mercenaries, but
[00:01:19] failed.
[00:01:22] China opposed new US sanctions against
[00:01:26] Hasten to Iran and Russia. China's Ministry of Commerce, in response to sanctions against Russia and Iran, stressed that
[00:01:30] unilateral sanctions have no basis in international law.
[00:01:33] China's Ministry of Commerce stated that the country
[00:01:36] reserves its right to take necessary measures to protect
[00:01:40] national sovereignty. The US President
[00:01:43] signed a comprehensive bill to impose sanctions against Russia and
[00:01:47] extend energy sector and arms sanctions against Iran.
[00:01:50] Over 80 works
[00:01:54] by 64 illustrators from different cities
[00:01:58] of the country gathered at a group exhibition called "Together for Iran"
[00:02:01] and showcased works reflecting various experiences and social solidarity during
[00:02:05] the war. This exhibition is on display at
[00:02:08] Negarestan, Book Garden. is.
[00:02:10] The "Together
[00:02:14] for Iran" illustration exhibition looks at recent events and the lived experiences
[00:02:18] of the Iranian people in facing
[00:02:21] war. The language of art is a good
[00:02:25] language to express, narrate,
[00:02:29] and preserve with a deep look
[00:02:32] and from a female perspective
[00:02:35] and from the family perspective, they were able to depict
[00:02:38] the reawakened nation of Iran
[00:02:42] and what they created over the past 6
[00:02:45] months. This group exhibition was organized by Ketabar Ara Group
[00:02:49] in collaboration with Sooreh Omid Institute at Tehran Book Garden.
[00:02:52] One of the ideas is that we display this exhibition
[00:02:56] in a street format in squares where people gather at night.
[00:03:00] Let's take it among themselves because these illustrators are part
[00:03:03] of the people. The works selected for this exhibition are visual narratives
[00:03:07] of concepts such as homeland, steadfastness, resistance,
[00:03:10] courage, solidarity, community, flag, war
[00:03:13] experiences, future, and hope.
[00:03:16] Since our leader was initially martyred,
[00:03:20] and it coincided in a way with the martyrdom of the Minab school children,
[00:03:23] I used this simultaneity
[00:03:27] and conveyed it in my image that the leader
[00:03:30] came looking for the children, and the children are flying with him
[00:03:33] towards the sky. I myself am a mother, and with the incident
[00:03:37] that happened to the children of Minab, I just wished
[00:03:41] I could take a small
[00:03:44] step in this direction. The subject of the funeral
[00:03:47] of the martyred leader and the narrative of the presence and empathy of the people
[00:03:51] in bidding farewell to the heroes and martyrs of this land
[00:03:55] are also among the other topics of interest to artists
[00:03:59] in this event.
[00:04:01] In this exhibition, more than 80 works by 64
[00:04:05] illustrators from all over the country are on display
[00:04:08] at Negarestan Book Garden in Tehran. Mehdi Sarbazi,
[00:04:12] IRIB News Agency.
[00:04:13] Approximately 1200 programs will be held
[00:04:16] during Sacred Defense Week, announced the head of the Central Staff for Commemorating
[00:04:20] Sacred Defense Week. He added that the operational areas of the Sacred
[00:04:23] Defense, museums, and monuments of unknown martyrs across
[00:04:27] the country are also specially prepared this
[00:04:31] week to host people. General Kargar also announced
[00:04:34] the exhibition of downed American equipment in Dasht-e Mehyar, Isfahan,
[00:04:38] at the museum and the portrayal of this clear
[00:04:42] American defeat. defeat.
[00:04:44] The Parsijan Literary Award
[00:04:50] recognized its winners, an award dedicated to the guardians of Persian language
[00:04:56] created light from and literature. All those who, from the influence of foreign words. This is a gathering of Persian language enthusiasts, from the IRIB reporter
[00:05:03] created light from
[00:05:08] with his eloquent
[00:05:11] Who created light from speech, inherited the name of the Day of Persian Poetry and Literature,
[00:05:14] to the well-known singer of Iranian music,
[00:05:18] from
[00:05:19] his longings,
[00:05:24] it is faith
[00:05:26] to those who, in the public sphere,
[00:05:30] contribute to the culturalization and promotion of the Persian
[00:05:34] language. A national Parsijan medal is awarded to one person.
[00:05:38] It goes to those who may not be seen. The founder
[00:05:42] of the Ganjur website won the National Parsijan Medal.
[00:05:45] The Ganjur website provides access to
[00:05:49] the content of Persian literature, including poems and prose
[00:05:52] texts, and is the result of about 20 years
[00:05:56] of work and the participation of thousands
[00:05:59] of users in various forms. The Golden Parsijan
[00:06:03] was also awarded to Mohammadi Motamedi and
[00:06:06] Ajdeh. Persian is the language of love, from the very
[00:06:10] moment that mothers sing lullabies
[00:06:13] into the ears of the children of this rich land.
[00:06:17] This heavenly melody, this loving language,
[00:06:20] I believe, becomes a motivation for better and deeper
[00:06:24] understanding of this mother tongue. From my teenage years,
[00:06:27] without anyone forcing me, I would take and read books
[00:06:31] of prosody and rhyme, and books of meanings, and in fact, collections
[00:06:35] of poets' works, with love and interest. I want to say that
[00:06:39] if authentic Iranian music and deeply rooted
[00:06:43] Iranian music find a place in the
[00:06:45] listening habits of our young generation,
[00:06:49] then perhaps there will be no need for extra effort to make this generation
[00:06:52] an audience for rich Persian literature. An award that
[00:06:55] is the result of a year-long assessment of the guardians
[00:06:59] of Persian language and literature. Here, prominent figures
[00:07:03] of Persian language and literature, culture and art,
[00:07:07] strive to keep the Persian language dynamic and
[00:07:10] alive. Mahboub Abulfazli. The
[00:07:44] fossils on display are part of the bones
[00:07:47] of animals from the Tertiary geological period. Maragheh fossils,
[00:07:50] approximately 10 to 7 million years old, lived
[00:07:54] which is considered a world belt.
[00:07:57] A giraffe skull, a saber-toothed cat jaw,
[00:08:00] and the limbs of a rhinoceros
[00:08:03] have also been recovered from the Maragheh fossil region.
[00:08:07] The rhinoceros fossil you are observing
[00:08:10] is undergoing
[00:08:13] the desedimentation stage. The presence of these fossils indicates that this region
[00:08:17] was a habitat for these animals in prehistoric
[00:08:21] times. One of the jaws found in the Maragheh fossil
[00:08:25] area was approximately 2.97
[00:08:28] centimeters long,
[00:08:31] record jaw.
[00:08:35] We named the rhinoceros specimens Iranotherium, which we first found
[00:08:38] in Maragheh, Iranotherium. Later, similar ones were found
[00:08:42] in China, and following us, they also introduced
[00:08:46] these species as Iranotherium.
[00:08:49] Still, some of the fossils in this museum are
[00:08:53] stored in a warehouse due to lack of
[00:08:56] space. 6,000 pieces have been excavated and extracted since
[00:09:00] 2005. Approximately 600
[00:09:04] fossil pieces have been repaired,
[00:09:07] restored, and are available for
[00:09:10] display in showcases. Soon, with the completion
[00:09:13] of the Iran Paleontology Research Center in Maragheh,
[00:09:16] these fossils will be displayed in a larger
[00:09:19] space. The completion of the research center and the
[00:09:23] Maragheh Fossil Museum will facilitate the presence of researchers
[00:09:26] and scholars from around the world in this city.
[00:09:30] Ahmad Talebi, IRIB News Agency,
[00:09:33] Maragheh. Stay with
[00:09:37] us.
[00:09:38] Essentially,
[00:12:48] we see that after seven months of this conflict,
[00:12:52] Iran
[00:12:55] is in a better position. Iran has endured,
[00:12:58] the system has endured, and the Islamic Revolution has also endured.
[00:13:01] And in my opinion, at this very moment, Iran has the upper
[00:13:05] hand. Time is also on their side, and on the other hand, it's against
[00:13:08] Donald Trump and the United States of America. We will
[00:13:12] see how the November elections will end. But whatever happens in this
[00:13:15] election, it will certainly tie Trump's hands even more than now.
[00:13:19] In addition, we are facing a lot of resistance within America
[00:13:23] as well. Of course, this is so-called unofficial intelligence
[00:13:27] that is being circulated on social media and some US
[00:13:30] media outlets. There is also a lot of resistance in the US military,
[00:13:34] because the aircraft carrier Lincoln, the aircraft carrier George Washington, and
[00:13:38] others are facing morale problems among their
[00:13:41] forces. It's not clear to the US military what their goal is, because
[00:13:44] it's clear that to defeat Iran, we would have to occupy
[00:13:48] that country. Since that's impossible and would lead to excessive casualties,
[00:13:51] such a thing will not happen. We are now witnessing a war
[00:13:55] of attrition, where the question is whose economy will suffer more?
[00:13:58] Iran has been enduring all kinds of economic blows for 40
[00:14:02] years, so it seems its citizens are much more resilient.
[00:14:05] On the other hand, we are facing the problem of continuously rising
[00:14:09] oil prices and the problem of strategic reserves. Another issue that needs
[00:14:13] to be mentioned is the impatience and discomfort of America's allies in the Persian
[00:14:17] Gulf region. All oil exporters whose shipments pass
[00:14:20] through the Strait of Hormuz are facing major problems. Now that
[00:14:24] the Houthis have started their campaign against Saudi Arabia,
[00:14:28] the Red Sea is no longer safe either. Therefore, in my opinion,
[00:14:31] the final escalation of the conflict, meaning the outbreak of some kind of overt war or
[00:14:35] ground war, cannot happen. Americans can
[00:14:38] say, "We won. We sank five tankers." This
[00:14:42] statement seems effective from a media perspective and might even be interesting
[00:14:46] for the American public opinion. But from a military-strategic and ultimately
[00:14:50] political standpoint, it yields no results. In my opinion, nations
[00:14:53] and cultures like Iran's
[00:15:07] But for them, it's more important that their leader's martyrdom will be avenged. It's important whether
[00:15:11] the killing of children in schools and people who died at weddings
[00:15:14] will be avenged or not. This is something we need
[00:15:18] to consider. So, I'm not sure that sanctions are the right
[00:15:22] way to deal with Iran. Yes, in a specific timeframe,
[00:15:26] sanctions will become a very devastating weapon, and Iran will suffer
[00:15:29] immense damage, but I doubt they can destabilize
[00:15:33] the country's political system, which is the goal of sanctions.
[00:15:36] In my opinion, at least concerning the United States and the government
[00:15:40] of Donald Trump, they are using all these economic measures more for
[00:15:43] political purposes. In these actions, there's more
[00:15:46] inclination to achieve some kind of political outcome. But I really
[00:15:50] don't see any particular political outcome being achieved.
[00:16:05] First, let's tell people where this is.
[00:16:08] This is the hangout
[00:16:11] of the headquarters for designing people-based actions.
[00:16:14] That means a group of university
[00:16:17] students gather here to think
[00:16:21] and plan how to utilize
[00:16:24] popular capacities to get people involved, for people to
[00:16:28] come forward and, in short, engage in activism and
[00:16:31] effective activity. And this social phenomenon is
[00:16:35] bearable. Thank God, it has really
[00:16:38] exploded and made everyone feel
[00:16:41] good.
[00:16:43] Sacrificers
[00:16:48] are ready to give their lives for their country. They have announced their presence.
[00:16:52] We also registered. Our family of five
[00:16:55] registered. Yes, yes. My wife and I said that you might go
[00:16:59] to the east of the country, and I'll go to the west. Are you ready?
[00:17:02] I am ready to sacrifice my life. Are you ready to
[00:17:06] register there? Yes, I am ready to register.
[00:17:09] And these 31 million people,
[00:17:13] even in the midst of the war that started, they registered with the understanding that
[00:17:17] they should stand up to defend the country and
[00:17:20] stop the enemy's aggression. They came with this thought and later
[00:17:24] followed up very much. In fact, this movement that has been revived
[00:17:27] again in the past few days, after the planning of this recent period,
[00:17:31] its reason is the follow-up by the same people for military training,
[00:17:34] and one of them is military training. And the important thing is
[00:17:38] that this capacity, which was once truly
[00:17:41] a deterrent on its own,
[00:17:44] we saw, for example, that some presidents
[00:17:47] of certain powerful
[00:17:50] countries expressed surprise.
[00:18:09] Mr. Razvani, it was very strange from the cases we
[00:18:13] encountered regarding
[00:18:16] these sacrificing individuals. This past while, I dealt with
[00:18:19] a prisoner, meaning someone with a record of security
[00:18:22] imprisonment. Honestly, I didn't have the nerve to ask and delve into
[00:18:25] what they had done or where they had
[00:18:28] been, but it's exactly like that. They are still
[00:18:32] pursuing training and deployment. For example,
[00:18:35] we had many people from these recent
[00:18:39] events. I mean, there was a young man who, in 2022,
[00:18:42] due to the events, had taken actions,
[00:18:45] and then, especially, many of those
[00:18:49] who had been martyred
[00:18:52] under the amnesty of the Leader, and it's very interesting
[00:18:56] that for many of them, that very
[00:18:58] amnesty was a turning point in their minds. They would say, "From that
[00:19:02] time, a question arose for us: if we had done the same thing in another
[00:19:06] country, perhaps they would have dealt with us
[00:19:09] differently." And they had come this time to stand with Iran,
[00:19:12] and they will be there till the end.
[00:19:26] This sacrificer, now if we want to say, which political
[00:19:29] faction does he belong to?
[00:19:32] He belongs to the political faction of Iran.
[00:19:35] From the far left to the far right. From the very top to the
[00:19:39] very bottom, everyone gathered around this concept.
[00:19:43] Do you have any information about the children of officials registering
[00:19:46] or not? Well, we didn't check the children of officials, but we did
[00:19:50] check two points that were interesting:
[00:19:53] we checked the gentlemen themselves.
[00:19:56] Almost all senior officials of the country were there.
[00:20:00] It didn't matter if they were reformists or principlists.
[00:20:02] All of them, yes, yes. If I really
[00:20:05] knew they agreed, I would publish the names now. Of these
[00:20:09] 31,547,189
[00:20:13] people, are there any duplicates?
[00:20:16] No, these, you see, our basis was obtaining mobile numbers.
[00:20:19] Each mobile number was counted only
[00:20:23] once. It's interesting, someone
[00:20:26] registered with one mobile number 200
[00:20:29] times, nearly 200 times. We called this
[00:20:33] person, who had registered about two or three times a day.
[00:20:36] This person said that they thought the more
[00:20:40] they registered, the higher priority they would get for deployment.
[00:20:44] We told him, "Even if you register a thousand times, it only counts
[00:20:47] once." For example, someone who was a university professor,
[00:20:51] and now he's working against this country and its people, came and
[00:20:55] said, "I investigated such and such, these four
[00:20:58] million." You see, some people, when they registered
[00:21:02] on the system, they would
[00:21:05] leave a comment for us at the bottom, "God bless you,
[00:21:09] my life for Iran!" That poor man counted
[00:21:12] the four million and seven hundred thousand comments that had been filtered
[00:21:16] and published as the number of registrations.
[00:21:20] He took the comments and considered them the number
[00:21:23] of registrations. Someone came and showed it, and we, for example,
[00:21:27] analyzed it. That is, he said the number of comments was the number of registrations.
[00:21:30] Yes, I want to participate in the "Jan Fada"
[00:21:34] campaign, but I can't do it from France.
[00:21:38] I ask you if you can register me,
[00:21:41] because my life is for Iran. Your
[00:21:45] efforts are appreciated. Only 31 million registrations were
[00:21:48] made.
[00:21:53] participate in "Jan Fada" and register, but with these
[00:21:57] videos, we announce our presence.
[00:22:01] I saw some strange things, Mr.
[00:22:04] Razvani. An old woman with a walker
[00:22:08] had come. At first, I thought it was a mistake that this
[00:22:11] poor soul was alone. In fact, I saw
[00:22:14] a young man who, I don't know, maybe you'll censor
[00:22:18] this later, whose entire body was tattooed with
[00:22:22] everything we saw, and he had brought his
[00:22:26] dog with him. Wow. Then this poor
[00:22:28] man said, "Sir, if it's possible, train my dog in live-finding,
[00:22:32] train it in searching. I and all my possessions are this dog.
[00:22:36] I stood up and came to ask what I can do for Iran." In short,
[00:22:40] I remembered that famous comparison between a patriot and
[00:22:43] a non-patriot. The most important
[00:22:47] issue for us now is utilizing
[00:22:51] this capacity for the future of the country, a part
[00:22:54] of which is the military sector, especially
[00:22:57] in today's economic situation, social issues are
[00:23:01] being organized, and will soon be unveiled
[00:23:04] to solve people's problems and bring about some
[00:23:08] inspiring events, which, God willing,
[00:23:12] have been planned and will be announced
[00:23:15] in the future.
[00:23:30] Tell us about the educational background of the audience.
[00:23:33] Two things were interesting: now,
[00:23:36] approximately 7% have reading and
[00:23:39] writing literacy, 36% have diplomas, 30%
[00:23:42] have bachelor's degrees, about 20% have master's degrees,
[00:23:45] 4% have doctorates, and 6% are seminary students.
[00:23:48] The interesting point is that the number of young people was
[00:23:52] very high. Approximately 60% of participants
[00:23:55] were under 45 years
[00:23:59] old. Did you have any interesting anecdotes from this part?
[00:24:02] We had a woman who registered and
[00:24:06] sent a message saying, "Please, don't let my husband find
[00:24:10] out about the deployment." If he finds out...
[00:24:14] In short, we also had many from the other
[00:24:17] side, a woman who called and said, "Sir, I don't agree
[00:24:21] with this name for my husband. Don't let my husband go." So we had
[00:24:25] both sides, but the first part was more
[00:24:29] significant. The participation rate of the provinces. Sir, all provinces. We
[00:24:32] checked two things: Is there any province that
[00:24:35] did not participate? No.
[00:24:38] Is there any city that did not participate? No.
[00:24:41] Which province had the most participation? The number was,
[00:24:45] proportionate to the population, Tehran, Razavi Khorasan,
[00:24:48] Khuzestan. Then Fars, then Isfahan.
[00:24:52] But the attraction of the audience relative
[00:24:55] to the population was interesting for us, that
[00:24:58] Ilam, which In the name
[00:25:01] of Allah, the Light. In the name of Allah, the
[00:25:04] Light. In the name of Allah, the
[00:25:08] Light. This Light. In the name of Allah, the
[00:25:12] Light. Light
[00:25:16] upon Light. In the name of Allah, Light upon
[00:25:20] Light upon Light. In the name of Allah,
[00:25:23] the Light. Light
[00:25:26] upon Light. In the name of Allah,
[00:25:29] the Light.
[00:25:30] A servant. In the
[00:25:34] name of Allah, He who
[00:25:37] manages affairs. In the
[00:25:41] name of Allah, who
[00:25:46] darkness. Praise be to Allah.

[00:28:28] There is no god 155, I put some in
[00:29:07] there, you can look down there, I still didn't even fill
[00:29:09] the tank,
[00:29:12] Jesus
[00:29:14] christ, wow,
[00:29:17] almost 30 years I've been driving truck
[00:29:19] and that's a first,
[00:29:22] $47,
[00:29:24] $47,
[00:29:27] bro, look at...
[00:29:30] this if you're on the prices right,
[00:29:34] this is $47 because
[00:29:36] donald trump doesn't know anything about economics and is has
[00:29:40] inflation through the roof in America, Donald
[00:29:44] Trump, 619 for diesel fuel, pump

[00:30:00] Let some of y'all would have me put a sticker
[00:30:03] on the on the pump and say this is Byton's fault steel, but

[00:30:11] no way, there ain't no way that diesel should
[00:30:15] be at 6:19. I'm telling you
[00:30:17] if these politicians don't get control of this thing right here at the gas
[00:30:21] pump and that thing over there in the grocery store, you are going to
[00:30:24] lose midterms in a way that you never thought possible, this is absolutely
[00:30:28] ridiculous, oh are you serious? there's
[00:30:32] a lot of truckers messaging me saying that they are planning a
[00:30:36] truckers strike across
[00:30:39] America, they're trying to plan the biggest one in
[00:30:42] history to get as many involved as possible, they're
[00:30:46] saying in many different states and different
[00:30:49] areas, and they are putting it out there right now to getting the information
[00:30:53] out to see if they can get companies to comply to also lay the
[00:30:56] drivers off for that day, let them...
