[00:00:04] Eskandar Momeni considered the security of Azerbaijan [00:00:07] the security of Iran and said that another issue that [00:00:11] was raised and agreed upon was that these [00:00:14] agreements would lead to a document that the two countries [00:00:18] would sign, and in other words, order and [00:00:21] necessary follow-ups would be made for the realization of [00:00:25] those agreements, which was also welcomed and [00:00:28] initial drafts were prepared. In this meeting, the governors [00:00:32] of Gilan and Ardabil also expressed their views on the [00:00:36] capacities for cooperation development. Ardabil province has about [00:00:38] 370 kilometers of border with Azerbaijan [00:00:42] and is considered the gateway to [00:00:45] the Caucasus. The discussions we had in the meeting [00:00:49] included the establishment of a [00:00:52] rail logistics terminal, and initial [00:00:55] agreements have been reached. Gilan is almost [00:00:59] geographically part of the provinces that have the oldest [00:01:03] trade relations with Azerbaijan. In recent [00:01:06] years, the land border and railway border in Astara [00:01:10] have become very active. What was actually discussed in the meeting [00:01:14] was to reduce administrative [00:01:17] bureaucracy. Nasser Eshkgariz, IRIB News Agency. [00:01:21] ورسیم [00:01:23] The acting Minister of Defense warned Americans: [00:01:27] Do not play with fire. The armed forces are fully [00:01:31] prepared to preserve Iran's identity without seeking anyone's permission. [00:01:34] Brigadier General Ibn Al-Reza , addressing some industrial organizations [00:01:38] of the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics, called [00:01:41] civilizational confrontation playing with fire whose initiators cannot [00:01:45] set boundaries for its expansion to [00:01:48] its end, and its flames will also consume [00:01:51] them. Brigadier General Ibn Al-Reza also said: Iran [00:01:54] has not borrowed its identity from anyone, nor does it need [00:01:57] anyone's permission to preserve it, nor will it replace [00:02:01] threats and humiliation with its nation's right [00:02:05] to self-determination. [00:02:08] The senior spokesperson of the armed forces warned the American- [00:02:11] Zionist enemy: We will not allow your regional order [00:02:15] in West Asia to be renewed. Regional countries [00:02:19] must also break free from the incompetent security umbrella [00:02:22] of the United States. Brigadier General Shekarchi, in response to the [00:02:25] absurd statements of American leaders about Iran's millennia-old [00:02:28] civilization, said: The insults of the delusional, foolish [00:02:32] American officials about the civilization and history of the Iranian nation [00:02:36] are not only a reflection of their desperation, but also [00:02:40] only strengthen the strong will of the heroic Iranian people. [00:02:43] Brigadier General Shekarchi emphasized that the armed forces resolutely defend [00:02:46] the national interests, security of the country, and the integrity [00:02:50] of Islamic Iran, and will impose defeat on the enemies [00:02:53] with powerful attacks. The senior spokesperson of the armed forces also [00:02:57] reminded the regional countries that: [00:03:03] Therefore, the continuation of reliance on the claimed [00:03:06] security umbrella of the United States is nothing but accepting [00:03:10] the heavy costs of a wrong calculation and [00:03:14] decision. The spokesman for our country's [00:03:17] Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to the historical resentment [00:03:21] of the US Secretary of State against Iran, reminded Americans [00:03:25] of Iran's historical background. [00:03:27] شد. [00:03:30] On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Donald [00:03:34] Trump and the Chinese President met. During the meeting, the topic [00:03:37] of civilization came up. Xi Jinping, the Chinese [00:03:41] President, spoke about his country's thousands of years of civilization, [00:03:44] and in response, Trump said that today's America is a continuation [00:03:48] of ancient Greek and Roman civilization. We [00:03:51] Americans are the heirs of the faith of Jerusalem and Rome, [00:03:55] the democracy of ancient Athens, and the conquests of Sparta. In [00:03:58] the past few days, Trump's Secretary of State also visited [00:04:01] Greece and, in front of the ancient ruins of Athens, repeated [00:04:04] this claim about America, Greece, and Rome. [00:04:08] He also began his speech by recalling an ancient [00:04:11] grudge. An ancient grudge against [00:04:14] Iran. [00:04:17] 480 years before Christ, the army of King Xerxes reached [00:04:21] Athens and set its temples on fire. The Iranians [00:04:24] looted the temples and razed the Acropolis to the ground. [00:04:28] But after these explanations by Rubio, Esmaeil [00:04:31] Baghaei, the spokesperson for our country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, responded [00:04:35] to his claims about civilization. Of course, inadvertently, [00:04:39] the US Secretary of State [00:04:41] admitted [00:04:44] to certain realities, to the fact [00:04:48] that Iran, not [00:04:50] as a piece of land, not [00:04:54] merely as a geography, but as a way of life, [00:04:57] as a concept, as an [00:05:00] idea, has endured for thousands [00:05:03] of years. The continuity of a civilization and [00:05:07] culture certainly cannot be achieved [00:05:10] through [00:05:14] geographical military conquests. [00:05:17] The West [00:05:19] today, [00:05:22] in terms of meaning and thought, would not exist if [00:05:26] Iranian and Muslim thinkers [00:05:28] during the Dark Ages [00:05:32] had not been [00:05:35] translators and interpreters of Greek ideas. [00:05:38] Essentially, today's America, what [00:05:41] ا [00:05:48] pointed out that Marco Rubio's speech, alongside Trump's remarks, [00:05:51] was an admission of the dominant view among Western leaders regarding [00:05:55] our country: that they see themselves in a civilizational [00:05:58] war against Iran to perpetuate domination and justify [00:06:02] their aggression. The fact that you want to express [00:06:05] ideas based on the clash of civilizations [00:06:08] رو [00:06:11] in a different way today, if at that time there was talk [00:06:14] of a clash between Islamic and Western civilization, [00:06:17] today [00:06:20] you replace that with a clash between Iranian [00:06:24] civilization and the West. There is certainly no [00:06:27] good intention in it other than legitimizing [00:06:31] war and aggression. America's enmity [00:06:34] with Iranian civilization is an issue that throughout the war, Donald [00:06:38] Trump himself explicitly admitted to, [00:06:41] threatening to destroy Iranian civilization, [00:06:44] not just its government. Tonight, a civilization will [00:06:48] completely die and will never rise again. [00:06:52] The civilizational war of the West against Iran has now been [00:06:55] going on for 2500 years. A series of hostilities [00:06:58] that began with Greece and the accursed Alexander. [00:07:02] Then the Romans continued it and fought for centuries with [00:07:06] the Parthian and Sasanian Iranians. After them, in the 19th [00:07:10] and 20th centuries AD, it was the British who [00:07:13] resolved to seize Iran, and finally, with the coup [00:07:16] of August 19, 1953, the torch of the civilizational [00:07:20] war of the West against Iran was handed over to the United States. [00:07:23] A civilizational war of which Trump's attack on Iran [00:07:27] is merely the latest manifestation. Mohammad Sadeghzadeh, [00:07:30] IRIB News Agency. [00:07:33] Today, October 12, is named after Hafez [00:07:36] Shirazi. Every year, on this occasion, various programs [00:07:40] are held in the city of Shiraz, the birthplace of this [00:07:44] great poet, as well as in other parts of our country. In Shiraz, [00:07:47] a ceremony is currently being held with the presence [00:07:50] of cultural and artistic figures next to the tomb of this renowned [00:07:54] Iranian lyricist, and we will join the reporter of IRIB [00:07:58] News Agency, who is currently at Hafezieh. [00:08:02] Ms. Kateb, greetings to you. Please tell [00:08:05] us more about the programs [00:08:08] for Hafez Day. [00:08:12] You, dear colleague, Ms. Khalaji, from the land of religion [00:08:16] and epic, [00:08:22] it seems we lost connection with Ms. Kateb. If we re-establish [00:08:25] connection with her, we will speak with her [00:08:29] so that she can tell us more [00:08:32] about the Hafez Day programs. [00:08:35] All flights to Riyadh Airport [00:08:38] are cancelled for the next five days. According to the [00:08:42] issued announcements, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh [00:08:46] will remain closed until Saturday, October 17, 2026. [00:08:49] In this regard, several airlines announced [00:08:52] the extension of the suspension or imposition of restrictions [00:08:55] on their flights to cities in this country, especially Riyadh. [00:08:59] Two Indian and Bahraini airlines canceled their flights [00:09:03] until October 17. American airline Delta [00:09:07] also announced that it has postponed its flights to Riyadh [00:09:10] until early spring of next year. Emirates airline also [00:09:14] announced the suspension of its flights to Riyadh until [00:09:18] next Monday. In another news, the Yemeni [00:09:21] armed forces released images of operations against Saudi-affiliated [00:09:25] mercenary forces in the south of Marib province. [00:09:28] These images show the destruction of Saudi mercenary [00:09:32] positions and gatherings, as well as the damage and burning [00:09:35] of some of their military vehicles. However, the Saudi [00:09:39] aerial aggression against Yemen today left 13 dead and injured. [00:09:43] گذاشت. [00:09:47] At least 20 killed and wounded in a bomb explosion on the path [00:09:50] of a group of Zionists in the Ramim heights. [00:09:54] News sources report a bomb explosion on the path of a group of Zionists [00:09:57] who had gone to the Ramim heights for recreation. [00:10:00] Initial reports indicate the death of one Zionist and the injury [00:10:04] of 19 others, four of whom are in critical condition. Following [00:10:08] this incident, Israeli army rescue teams, along with bomb [00:10:12] disposal teams, were dispatched to the Ramim area. It is [00:10:16] probable that the cause of the incident was unexploded [00:10:19] ordnance. Netanyahu's televised interview was also postponed [00:10:22] due to this incident. The Ramim Heights are located [00:10:25] in the north of the occupied territories and on the Lebanese [00:10:29] border. [00:10:38] The publication of varying reports on the deadline [00:10:41] for completing the self-declaration form for the national [00:10:45] food stamp credit increase plan is an issue [00:10:48] that has confused some of our compatriots. [00:10:51] text message. [00:10:59] compatriots should refer to the My Government national system, [00:11:03] and families who have received the text message should complete [00:11:07] the information requested from them. The system that has [00:11:10] been disrupted since yesterday, wherever we go, we went to the [00:11:14] internet cafe, we went to the post office, they say it's disconnected. The problem [00:11:17] that the relevant officials announced yesterday has been followed [00:11:21] up and resolved, but reporters' observations indicate [00:11:30] a system error [00:11:33] and we cannot fill out the self-declaration form. [00:11:37] A problem that began with yesterday's announcement inviting those covered [00:11:40] by the food stamp credit increase plan. When [00:11:44] they say this, the system also gets busy and it becomes difficult [00:11:47] to enter the mandatory process for increasing the food stamp credit [00:11:51] for October, which today some news agencies reported [00:11:54] was postponed to next month. However, [00:11:57] an hour later, the Planning and Budget Organization denied [00:12:01] the postponement of the food stamp credit increase self-declaration form [00:12:05] until next month. A series of questions are asked of the head, [00:12:09] inviting half of the country's population to complete a form [00:12:12] containing livelihood information regarding whether the household [00:12:16] is covered by supportive institutions or not, whether [00:12:20] the household owns property or not, for which [00:12:23] there is only a deadline until tomorrow [00:12:26] night. Don't postpone filling out the [00:12:30] "My Government" self-declaration form to the last minute. [00:12:33] No, because this just happened, [00:12:36] and I didn't know about it, so I didn't go. The notification [00:12:40] wasn't clear enough for me to understand. It should have been notified [00:12:43] earlier, because the deadline is short. They should have coordinated [00:12:47] this with the people beforehand. Two days are not enough in my opinion. At [00:12:51] least 40 million people need two to three weeks, or even a month, at least ten days. [00:12:55] They should have given 20 days or a month so that people could be informed [00:12:58] more precisely, and people could understand better. By the way, who is [00:13:02] the main authority for notifying about the increase in food stamp [00:13:06] amount? These individuals must fill out their self-declaration [00:13:09] form in the "My Government" system within 3 months. [00:13:13] A deadline that the head of the Targeted Subsidies Organization [00:13:17] announced was only 3 days. Until [00:13:20] the end of Tuesday, October 13th, [00:13:23] to complete the self-declaration form. Two days ago, officials [00:13:27] from the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor, and Social Welfare announced [00:13:30] that the food stamp amount for 11 million of our compatriots [00:13:34] has increased by 50%. The food stamp for households [00:13:38] covered by the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee and the country's [00:13:41] welfare organization increased by 500,000 Tomans. But the next day, the head of the [00:13:44] Targeted Subsidies Organization announced that the amount [00:13:48] of the food stamp increase is not yet clear, [00:13:51] and that the government will decide the exact [00:13:54] amount based on the number of individuals in society [00:13:57] who are eligible for this increase. Isn't it a bit late [00:14:01] to agree on the amount of the food stamp increase? [00:14:04] I prefer that we don't announce any news in this regard [00:14:08] yet. Today, the government spokesperson responded to this issue [00:14:11] as follows: I think it will be around 500,000 Tomans, [00:14:15] but it's not final yet. They previously said 300,000, [00:14:18] no, probably 500,000 Tomans. The implementation of the national [00:14:22] plan seems to require more precise information [00:14:25] with a clear statement, so that we don't see conflicting [00:14:29] reports on the same issue. Mohsen Gharagozli, IRIB [00:14:32] News Agency. [00:14:34] Well, the Meteorological Organization has announced continued scattered [00:14:38] rainfall in the north of the country. A meteorologist is here in the [00:14:42] studio with us to give us more details on the country's weather conditions. Ms. [00:14:46] Salami, thank you, Ms. Khalaji. As you also mentioned, we are [00:14:49] having scattered rainfall. We expect [00:14:52] scattered rainfall in the northwest [00:14:55] of our country, the Zagros foothills, and also in the northeast [00:14:58] of the country in the coming hours. Over the next few days, [00:15:02] we will also have occasional increases in rain, [00:15:05] thunder, lightning, and wind in the southeast of our country, [00:15:09] for southern Sistan and Baluchestan, southern Kerman [00:15:12] heights, and northern Hormozgan province. [00:15:16] For tomorrow, the intensity of rainfall will increase slightly. [00:15:19] We will have rainfall in Ardabil, East Azerbaijan, West [00:15:23] Azerbaijan, Zanjan, Kurdistan, Hamedan, Kermanshah, Lorestan, [00:15:27] Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, and western Isfahan. [00:15:30] Also, scattered increases in clouds and rainfall are predicted [00:15:33] for the Alborz foothills and Alborz heights. In the southeast [00:15:37] of the country, rainfall will occur in the afternoon. A yellow [00:15:41] weather warning has been issued. There is a possibility of flash [00:15:45] floods and rising river levels. We ask you to avoid [00:15:48] staying near rivers. These scattered rains in the western [00:15:52] and northern parts of our country will continue intermittently [00:15:56] until Friday. Another phenomenon [00:16:00] we have across the country is strong winds in the northeast [00:16:03] and east of the country, which brings dust and sand, and also [00:16:07] in the western regions of the country, we gradually predict [00:16:11] an increase in wind in these areas. We expect to have mild [00:16:15] winds in the central regions and the Alborz foothills [00:16:19] during some hours. Thank you for your attention and companionship. [00:16:22] I invite you to stay tuned for more news. Thank you, [00:16:26] Ms. Salami, meteorologist. [00:16:29] The deployment of brave men and honorable women, [00:16:33] armed with rifles, in the "Jan Fada" exercise. The people [00:16:36] of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, in the "Jan Fada" exercise, [00:16:40] demonstrated their readiness to sacrifice their lives in defense of the homeland [00:16:43] and the sanctity of Velayat. [00:16:47] Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad is the gathering place of 18,000 [00:16:50] "Jan Fada" in combat and support battalions [00:16:54] in the field of hard and soft warfare, [00:16:58] consisting of riflemen from tribes, villagers, [00:17:00] military units, Basij, youth, and middle-aged people [00:17:04] and veterans. [00:18:10] We have this message that they will never [00:18:13] achieve their ultimate goal. We will continue to stand [00:18:16] by the revolution, the system, and our beloved country. We will [00:18:20] follow the path of our martyred leader until our last drop [00:18:23] of blood. We tell the enemies of Islam that we are behind [00:18:27] the revolution, behind our system, and our leader. We will not give [00:18:30] any concessions to the enemy. [00:18:39] Addressing the enemies who threaten [00:18:42] Iran, they speak of readiness for defense. Let's show [00:18:46] the world that all of us Iranians are devoted to our country [00:18:49] and homeland. This maneuver is a source of strength [00:18:53] for our friends and fear and terror for our enemies. [00:18:56] It displays the greatness and civilizational power [00:19:00] of Islamic Iran, and wherever Zionists [00:19:03] set foot, they will be [00:19:07] struck down. And it emphasizes steadfastness against [00:19:10] any aggression. We are here to defend our homeland. All of [00:19:14] us Iranians follow the path of Imam Khamenei, the martyr. [00:19:18] 30 population areas, including 9 [00:19:21] counties, 21 districts and cities, demonstrated [00:19:25] their readiness and defense of Iran. [00:19:28] گذاشت. [00:19:50] Street, street, street, [00:19:53] street, come to the square. [00:19:56] People, behold the [00:19:59] armies of God. 226 [00:20:03] nights of vigilance, not even a line [00:20:06] of fatigue. [00:20:37] Come to the epic square. [00:20:40] People, epic, [00:20:43] come people, heroes. [00:20:47] He, with strong reasoning. [00:21:50] These clenched fists symbolize [00:21:54] the certain divine will [00:21:57] for final victory. [00:22:16] Street, street, street, street. [00:22:21] The narrative of the people's steadfastness on the [00:22:23] 225th night of nightly public gatherings [00:22:27] who still stand by Iran. [00:22:39] More than 220 nights of steadfastness, a presence that is repeated [00:22:43] every night to send a clear message. I tell [00:22:47] America not to tire itself, these people will not [00:22:51] be defeated. Economic pressures were supposed to cripple [00:22:55] Iran, but the enemy's calculations [00:22:58] are intertwined with the people's will. What we [00:23:00] saw in Marco Rubio's statements indicates [00:23:04] that they have a problem with Iran itself, and that they are under [00:23:08] pressure because Iran has resisted. [00:23:11] He only wants to influence public opinion. If [00:23:15] his words were to be implemented, Iran should have collapsed [00:23:19] by now, whereas the people have [00:23:22] become more united. We always have a poem here every [00:23:25] night that says: "A camel dreams of cotton." [00:23:29] The secret of victory in the war of patience, from your [00:23:32] perspective, is partly internal unity, [00:23:35] a unity that the people have created anyway. Part of it, [00:23:39] anyway, is more resistance. They stand by their leader's [00:23:42] words until the end. Resistance, steadfastness for your goals, [00:23:45] not giving up. [00:23:50] In my blood is Iranian [00:23:52] pride. The enemy, [00:23:55] the enemies of this country, [00:23:58] they say economic pressure passes, but [00:24:02] Iran's soil is not negotiable. We will be content, [00:24:06] and we will stand firm [00:24:09] by our country, and we will not let American officials [00:24:13] bring us to our knees. This economic pressure actually helps [00:24:16] us because we believe that help brings blessings into our lives. [00:25:20] who stood by Iran against [00:25:23] threats, relying on unity. [00:25:26] Masoumeh Ezzati, IRIB News Agency. [00:25:29] In my blood is Iranian [00:25:32] pride. The enemy, the enemy. [00:25:52] Hello and good evening to you, dear and honorable viewers [00:25:55] of the News Channel. As usual at this hour, [00:25:59] we present tonight's special news interview. [00:26:08] from northern Qatar. Despite Tractor's attacks on the opponent's [00:26:11] goal, this match ended in a goalless draw. Javad [00:26:15] Nekounam's players, who had lost their first match, [00:26:19] earned their first point of the season [00:26:22] tonight with this draw. However, Esteghlal, [00:26:26] Iran's other representative in these competitions, [00:26:29] who had won a sweet three points from their first [00:26:33] match against Al-Sadd, has been playing [00:26:36] Al-Gharafa in Doha for minutes. [00:26:38] رفته. [00:26:44] The start of the U23 World Greco-Roman [00:26:48] Wrestling Championships. The preliminary round of [00:26:52] the first five weight categories of these competitions began [00:26:55] a few minutes ago in the USA. According to the schedule [00:26:59] for our team, Mohammad Ashiri has a bye in the first [00:27:23] round.
