[00:00:03] In any case, in any situation, IRIB TV. we will confront
[00:00:07] and more seriously and firmly and more decisively respond
[00:00:11] to the enemy.
[00:00:14] We must uphold the flag of
[00:00:17] the Islamic Republic of Iran.
[00:00:19] We must rise. We must
[00:00:22] rise.
[00:00:30] Whatever level the enemy appears at, we must appear at a level
[00:00:34] beyond that. Certainly, at a high level,
[00:00:38] with the order given by the Leader,
[00:00:40] they will certainly receive a crushing response. From whatever
[00:00:43] geographical location we are threatened, we will respond at the same level
[00:00:46] that the attack occurs, God willing. If the enemy is wise, all the bases that it is gathering
[00:00:50] in the region around our dear country, Islamic Iran,
[00:00:54] will be dismantled, and its equipment will be removed, and it will leave this place,
[00:00:57] for it will be targeted. They should fear our
[00:01:08] calculations and always be in dread
[00:01:12] of our crushing response.
[00:01:15] And if they want to wage
[00:01:19] a war of imposition or terrorism,
[00:01:22] it is we Iranians who know when
[00:01:26] to end the war. It will receive a very crushing and swift
[00:02:06] response. A smart, swift,
[00:02:09] and authoritative action will be taken against them, and they will have entered a war in which
[00:02:13] no victory awaits them. For every martyr, there are
[00:02:16] several million
[00:02:19] people devoted
[00:02:21] to this flag, to this cause.
[00:02:29] The mere acknowledgement of Iran's role,
[00:02:39] the mere going to Iran, the mere announcement of this
[00:02:43] security partnership orientation with Iran
[00:02:46] to discuss the pending issues in the region with
[00:02:49] Iran is, first, an acknowledgement
[00:02:52] of Iran's advancing role,
[00:02:55] an acknowledgement of Iran's important role now and in the future.
[00:02:59] An acknowledgement of Iran's victory in this war, because the war aimed
[00:03:02] to change the regime in Iran, to destabilize
[00:03:06] Iran, to cancel the Iranian role, to besiege
[00:03:09] Iran, and isolate Iran. All of this is now
[00:03:12] beginning to end with this meeting. This is a big indicator. If Iran
[00:03:15] had been defeated, and Iran
[00:03:18] had been crushed, as the Israelis and Americans were saying,
[00:03:22] then the Iranian role
[00:03:25] would have ended there. But
[00:03:27] Iran succeeded in proving its capabilities
[00:03:31] by controlling the Strait of Hormuz, with cards of power,
[00:03:34] with achieving
[00:03:37] painful blows against the Americans, forcing the Americans to
[00:03:40] retreat, withdraw, and pull back their forces from
[00:03:44] military bases, closing the Strait of Hormuz. No American
[00:03:47] ship has passed through the Strait of Hormuz, no warship, not even a civilian ship.
[00:03:51] American ships have not passed through the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:03:54] neither towards the command of the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, nor exiting.
[00:03:58] Entering, and this
[00:04:02] is clear. So this level that
[00:04:05] the Iranian forces have proven
[00:04:09] has changed the equation. So we are facing a very important transformation. This meeting
[00:04:13] is very important and will change the map
[00:04:16] of alliances in the Middle East, the map of influence in the Middle
[00:04:19] East for decades to come. Relations will change.
[00:04:23] Ramadan, the month of
[00:04:49] ascension, is the most merciful
[00:04:51] grace in all of history. It is.
[00:04:55] Disclosure of new dimensions of
[00:05:46] widespread damage and destruction of US bases in the region.
[00:05:49] The Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal
[00:05:53] revealed in two special reports that the number of US military bases
[00:05:57] that were destroyed and rendered unusable by precise Iranian missile
[00:06:00] and drone attacks is 26 bases.
[00:06:04] For example, in just one US military base in
[00:06:07] Jordan, Iran destroyed at least
[00:06:10] 19 buildings that served as dormitories for American soldiers.
[00:06:14] Iran has inflicted heavy blows on US facilities.
[00:06:18] Now, while Trump is considering a new
[00:06:21] wave of attacks against Iran, the US military has withdrawn some of its
[00:06:25] forces from a number of these locations. However, Pentagon officials
[00:06:29] are still concerned that Iran may have preserved some of its most advanced
[00:06:32] missiles for later stages of the war, and this time
[00:06:36] it may be able to carry out more effective attacks.
[00:06:40] The Associated Press announced that by destroying
[00:06:43] aircraft, air defense and communication systems,
[00:06:46] and other critical equipment for operations at 26 US military
[00:06:50] bases, Iran has significantly weakened the US footprint
[00:06:53] in the region. Iran began its response
[00:06:56] to the war with precise attacks on systems designed to detect
[00:07:00] and neutralize potential attacks.
[00:07:04] It then expanded its targets to buildings and equipment
[00:07:07] that made US bases useful and suitable
[00:07:11] for troop deployment. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, in such circumstances,
[00:07:15] after the new order from the Supreme Leader of the Revolution to the senior
[00:07:19] commanders of the armed forces for an immediate, effective
[00:07:22] response without geographical limitations to
[00:07:25] enemy aggressions, which had widespread coverage in the American
[00:07:29] media, concerns in that country about the consequences
[00:07:33] of new provocations against Iran have
[00:07:36] increased.
[00:07:37] Iran's ability to continue
[00:07:43] widespread attacks on major US military facilities in
[00:07:47] Arab countries has created significant challenges for us.
[00:07:50] Put yourselves in the shoes of those Arab countries, our allies.
[00:07:53] When the US has been unable to stop Iran and is forced
[00:07:57] to withdraw from the region, they will tell the US, "You started
[00:08:00] this whole mess and dragged us into this quagmire, and now
[00:08:04] you're only thinking about saving yourselves." In my opinion, if the war
[00:08:07] resumes, this time the situation for the US and its allies
[00:08:11] especially given the new order from the Supreme
[00:08:21] Leader of the Revolution, this new round of war will be
[00:08:25] much more dangerous and destructive than before.
[00:08:29] Ali Rajabi, IRIB News, New York.
[00:08:32] As a country, I respect
[00:09:12] Iran, I respect the people of Iran, and I also respect
[00:09:16] the Iranian army. You know, we in the West, especially in
[00:09:20] America, are accustomed to judging others with
[00:09:23] extreme disrespect because we cannot overcome cultural
[00:09:27] differences and see beyond them. As a result,
[00:09:30] we fail to understand important realities,
[00:09:34] including the fact that Iran has one of the highest
[00:09:37] proportions of specialists and researchers with
[00:09:41] doctoral degrees and peer-reviewed scientific works.
[00:09:44] Iranians are among the most educated people in the world.
[00:09:48] Iran holds a prominent position in mathematics,
[00:09:51] physics, and various sciences. This superiority is not limited
[00:09:55] to academia but is also reflected in how Iran's economy
[00:09:58] and industry have developed. I was familiar with some of Iran's military achievements.
[00:10:02] These achievements are truly impressive. Such progress
[00:10:05] is only possible if Iran has mastered advanced
[00:10:09] technologies. To be honest, in some areas, the technologies that
[00:10:13] Iran has achieved are even beyond America's capabilities.
[00:10:17] Some of the work Iran is doing in ballistic missiles is truly
[00:10:21] astonishing. These capabilities are admirable. Iran
[00:10:25] is very capable in rapidly identifying this technology
[00:10:28] and then analyzing it to understand how it works and finding
[00:10:32] solutions to counter it. We had a 40-day war with you.
[00:10:36] I believe a large part of the actions
[00:10:39] Iran took during this period were to test the missile
[00:10:43] defense capabilities of the United States, Israel, and the Arab
[00:10:47] countries of the Persian Gulf to find solutions for the problems
[00:10:50] they identified. Today, I believe Iran has found
[00:10:54] the necessary solutions and has incorporated them into
[00:10:57] its current ballistic missile capabilities. We assume that
[00:11:01] we have limited ability to defend against Iranian
[00:11:05] missiles because we look at the successes we achieved during
[00:11:09] this conflict. But we don't realize
[00:11:12] that those were not actually successes, but
[00:11:15] rather tests from which Iran learned lessons and adapted
[00:11:19] its capabilities to the new circumstances.
[00:11:23] I don't think we have a solution to the Iran problem.
[00:11:27] Therefore, I believe we will enter a situation
[00:11:30] that we don't understand, and it will not
[00:11:33] have a good outcome for us.
[00:11:36] We have seen many reports and news
[00:11:39] about the shortage of American missile stockpiles in the mainstream
[00:11:43] media. Given these reports, what is your opinion
[00:11:47] on America's military capability?
[00:11:50] Well, first of all,
[00:11:54] I respect the men and women who wear military uniforms
[00:11:57] in the United States. They joined the army not to fight
[00:12:01] against Iran, but to defend their country.
[00:12:05] Unfortunately, the government asks them to do things that are
[00:12:08] not their will. But we also need to be realistic. America has
[00:12:12] waged a 40-day war against you, and I have to say
[00:12:15] we lost. That's the reality. We didn't win. There's
[00:12:19] another point I want the people of Iran to understand. People say
[00:12:23] America lost in Vietnam. Yes, we lost politically
[00:12:27] in Vietnam, but the Vietnamese never defeated us
[00:12:30] on the battlefield, never. We also lost
[00:12:34] politically in Afghanistan, but the Taliban never defeated
[00:12:38] us on the battlefield. We were invincible
[00:12:41] on the battlefield. The American soldier was invincible. If we entered
[00:12:45] a battle, we would win that battle. But this is the first time
[00:12:49] in American history that we have been defeated. The Iranians defeated
[00:12:52] us. You, you literally defeated us.
[00:12:55] The Iranians won by ensuring that we did
[00:12:59] not achieve any of our goals.
[00:13:02] You defeated us because you had a better plan than us.
[00:13:06] We have no solution to counter your missiles.
[00:13:09] We cannot intercept and destroy them in sufficient
[00:13:12] numbers. You are still producing missiles
[00:13:16] and you are still improving them. Your drones
[00:13:20] are also very effective, and your air defense
[00:13:23] system is also efficient. We would like to say that we defeated
[00:13:27] you, but if that happened, why were our planes still
[00:13:30] being lost at the end of the war? The reason is that we hadn't defeated you.
[00:13:34] You are smarter than us. You know us better than we know you.
[00:13:38] Since the end of the war until now, nothing has happened that convinces
[00:13:41] me that the United States has learned the necessary lessons
[00:13:45] to change the course of future battles.
[00:13:49] Our ammunition to defend ourselves
[00:13:52] will run out. The ammunition we have to attack Iran will also
[00:13:56] run out, but the Iranians will not run out of ammunition,
[00:13:59] and ultimately, once again, we will be defeated
[00:14:03] in battle with the Iranians. Ali,
[00:14:06] and finally, I want to ask
[00:14:09] you a question about the resistance of the Iranian people. We in Iran
[00:14:13] have been taking to the streets for more than 200 nights. We say that
[00:14:17] we support our country, we support Ayatollah Khamenei, and we are ready
[00:14:20] to fight against America and Israel. What is your opinion
[00:14:24] about the resistance of the Iranian people?
[00:14:27] Well, I have to speak cautiously
[00:14:33] here, because I'm an American. As you know, I stood
[00:14:36] against aggressive and illegal wars. I was against
[00:14:40] the attack on Iraq, and I am also against the current conflict
[00:14:43] against Iran. For some time, I have been trying to make the American
[00:14:47] people remember what it means to be responsible and worthy
[00:14:50] citizens. There was a time when we gathered a million
[00:14:54] people in Washington to fight for civil rights.
[00:14:57] The American people have a long history of civil disobedience
[00:15:01] and holding protests that lead to change. But in
[00:15:05] recent years, we can no longer sustain these movements continuously.
[00:15:09] We protest one day. Here, we have a movement called "No
[00:15:12] Kings," which opposes Donald Trump. In one day,
[00:15:16] hundreds of thousands of people are brought to the streets. But the next day,
[00:15:19] everyone goes home because they lack the commitment and perseverance
[00:15:23] to continue this movement. Therefore, when you tell me
[00:15:26] that the people of Iran, hundreds of thousands, and perhaps
[00:15:30] even millions, have occupied the streets of Iranian cities
[00:15:34] for more than 20 consecutive nights, I am truly amazed.
[00:15:38] This level of commitment is truly astonishing because
[00:15:41] it shows that people believe in what they are doing. In the West,
[00:15:45] they say that these people are paid to be in the streets,
[00:15:49] but you cannot buy people to stand in the streets for more
[00:15:52] than 20 consecutive nights. Those who go to the streets believe
[00:15:56] in what they are doing and in their cause, and the reason for this belief is
[00:16:00] that we, the United States, have committed a horrific
[00:16:03] act of aggression against you. We assassinated Ayatollah Khamenei,
[00:16:07] killed his grandson, and massacred children in Minab.
[00:16:10] The people of Iran are aware of this,
[00:16:14] and these issues have enraged them.
[00:16:17] In my opinion, before the war began, there were still
[00:16:21] concerns among the Iranian people. Economic dissatisfaction certainly
[00:16:25] existed. People were asking what happened to the economy
[00:16:29] and came to the streets to protest. The Iranian government said, "We hear
[00:16:32] your voice," but the CIA and Mossad tried to use
[00:16:36] these protests to achieve other goals. Before the war,
[00:16:39] there was opposition from the people to the government, but
[00:16:43] America and Israel launched a war against Iran. They assassinated
[00:16:47] Ayatollah Khamenei, attacked the Minab school, and
[00:16:51] killed people, and how did the Iranian people react? They come to the streets
[00:16:54] every night and stand together as one, saying, "We
[00:16:58] are Iran. There is no separation between us and the government.
[00:17:02] Any differences we had before are no longer relevant today.
[00:17:06] We are united to defend Iran, to defend our country,
[00:17:09] our faith, our religion, our fundamental law, our rights,
[00:17:12] and our humanity." This is the best example they can
[00:17:16] display, and the beauty of this movement is that there is no violence
[00:17:19] in it. Another positive point is that
[00:17:23] I, as an American, believe that if I go to
[00:17:26] these gatherings, the people of Iran will not kill me. They
[00:17:30] will tell me, "Come stand here, listen, and learn." Yes, they might chant
[00:17:34] "Death to America." But I think everyone knows that this
[00:17:38] chant has a political meaning and should not be interpreted
[00:17:41] literally. This chant expresses Iran's anger at those
[00:17:44] who hate Iran, try to harm its people,
[00:17:48] and intend to kill them. If I, as an American, were in
[00:17:52] Tehran and heard people chanting "Death to America,"
[00:17:55] I would not run away. The people's message is that they
[00:17:58] don't want anyone to harm them. They want to live in peace.
[00:18:02] I was in Iran in 2005. Iran is a beautiful country,
[00:18:06] and its people are also beautiful and lovely. It was truly
[00:18:10] an amazing experience. If more Americans could travel
[00:18:13] to Iran, see Iran up close, and understand the realities,
[00:18:17] we would not support such a war. But unfortunately, Americans
[00:18:20] today do not have a correct understanding of Iran's reality.
[00:18:24] We see images that opponents of Iran present to us.
[00:18:28] مخالفان ایران به ما ارائه می
[00:18:29] I'm a reporter from the New York Times. Can I talk
[00:18:53] to you about about, about, about politics? I'm in
[00:18:57] Michigan, a crucial state for control of Congress in the upcoming mid-terms,
[00:19:01] and I'm trying to talk to young men here about their politics.
[00:19:04] Two years ago, the [state] swung hard for Donald Trump, but
[00:19:08] now polls say that young voters are the most likely to be
[00:19:11] upset about the economy and the war in Iran. I think I voted
[00:19:15] Trump. Yep, I would take that back. Can I ask you how you voted in that election? Yeah, I, I
[00:19:19] voted for Trump. Where's your head at now with with President Trump?
[00:19:22] We're in a several month conflict with Iran now that is is
[00:19:26] raising gas prices. We have US servicemen who I believe are are kind of
[00:19:29] needlessly dying in this conflict. Those kind of broken promises are going to stick in the mind of a
[00:19:33] lot of voters. You voted for President Trump
[00:19:37] in 2024, yep. How are you seeing President Trump now? You know, he
[00:19:41] doesn't worry about people like us. He makes us look foolish, I think
[00:19:45] truly, in interviews and in the public eye, like we just look stupid
[00:19:49] when he represents us. Nash is 20, and like many of the young
[00:19:52] people we talk to, he really doesn't like the war in Iran or Israel's
[00:19:56] war in Gaza. We're funding a country that
[00:20:00] murders thousands of children. I think that we should stop
[00:20:03] bowing down to Israel and worry more about people here. Take a
[00:20:07] grocery [bill] from 2020, 2018,
[00:20:10] and same bills three times cost now, so that hurts.
[00:20:13] Nearly 90% of young people disapprove of Trump's handling of the cost of
[00:20:17] living. Trump, of course, is not on the ballot, but the mid-terms,
[00:20:21] in many ways, will be a referendum on his presence.
[00:27:33] The leadership of Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei
[00:27:36] is a continuation of the path of our martyred Imam
[00:27:39] in fighting global arrogance. Astan Quds
[00:27:43] Razavi hosts servants who narrate a deep
[00:27:45] and brotherly bond between the two nations
[00:27:49] of Iran and Iraq. We came at the invitation
[00:27:52] of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution and hosted by Astan Quds Razavi
[00:27:56] to the shrine of Imam Reza (PBUH). We thank
[00:27:59] the Islamic Republic of Iran for standing
[00:28:03] against the American-Zionist enemies. This is the best opportunity
[00:28:07] to visit the shrine of the compassionate Imam (PBUH)
[00:28:10] and to visit the martyred Leader, Ayatollah
[00:28:13] Seyyed Ali Khamenei. We, the people of Iraq and Iran, are brothers,
[00:28:17] and we have always stood together, and we are proud of this
[00:28:20] brotherhood. The tribal leaders and sheikhs
[00:28:23] of Iraq, after visiting the holy shrine of Imam Reza (PBUH),
[00:28:27] have gathered at the holy grave of the martyred Imam to
[00:28:31] say that the hearts of the two nations beat as one in remembrance
[00:28:35] of the kind Imam and the bright path that the martyred Leader
[00:28:39] left behind.
[00:28:39] تپد.
[00:28:47] The two nations of Iran and Iraq have always stood together,
[00:28:51] and no enemy can create a distance between us. Our bond
[00:28:55] grows stronger day by day. We, the tribes of Iraq, are ready
[00:28:58] to sacrifice our lives and our children in defense of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
[00:29:18] It is a continuation of the path of Wilayah and the martyred Imam.
[00:30:25] In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Dear viewers, dear compatriots, good morning.
[00:30:29] Welcome to the 7 o'clock news segment. The "Sarv-e Sepid-e Sorkh"
[00:30:33] collection received the award for Best Television Series
[00:30:36] Union (ABU) in 2026.
[00:30:40] This award was presented to the eleventh episode of this
[00:30:43] series, titled "Ancestral Hunting," directed by Mahmoud Karimi.
[00:30:47] "Ancestral Hunting" is the true story of a shepherd who, with his
[00:30:51] Brno rifle, shoots down an enemy drone.
[00:30:54] The "Sarv-e Sepid-e Sorkh" collection was broadcast this year
[00:30:58] in three seasons on Channel 1 of
