[00:00:04] in [00:00:07] of [00:00:16] of This our's top headlines: Iran's president says [00:00:20] assassinations [00:00:23] of of the mardor leader of the Islamic Revolution, military commanders and scientists prove the falsehood of aggressor's [00:00:27] claims to human [00:00:29] of rights. A Palestinian media group warns that human [00:00:32] rights [00:00:33] of violations against Palestinian abductees and Israeli [00:00:36] of prisons have reached unprecedented [00:00:38] levels. And [00:00:42] finally, the US state of New Mexico sues the department of justice [00:00:46] over access to unredacted Ebstein files, saying the [00:00:49] department refuses to provide the [00:00:51] documents. [00:00:56] of [00:00:59] of [00:01:13] says all enemy plans and pressures are aimed at making the people [00:01:16] dissatisfied and provoking them to protest, but the Iranian people [00:01:20] will stand for their country. Masaroldan [00:01:24] of added that the entire Iranian nation helped to keep the country together, even [00:01:28] those who had objections to [00:01:29] the government. [00:01:38] The fact that we could continue, it's because [00:01:41] of the noble people of Iran, not just [00:01:43] of the people who gathered in the streets, everybody [00:01:46] who endears and holds Iran dearly in their [00:01:51] of heart, despite all the difficulties, it's not just the people who gathered in the [00:01:55] of streets, it was not just them preserved Iran, [00:01:58] of every person. "who sees the difficulties and [00:02:02] tolerates them, they are working for their [00:02:08] in country, speaking [00:02:09] in a televised interview, pasashgan said the government has [00:02:13] banaged the country under the most difficult conditions since Islamic [00:02:17] revolution by relying on the people solidarity. He [00:02:20] cited war, sanctions, energy imbalance, and water crisis [00:02:24] as the most important challenges facing the nation. PAScan [00:02:28] stress that the enemies plotted. to cause social collapse and force [00:02:32] a country into submission through missile strikes and destruction, but the [00:02:36] people's support prevented that. the Iranian president asserted that the [00:02:39] assassination [00:02:40] of the martur [00:02:41] of leader [00:02:41] of the Islamic Revolution as well as military commanders and [00:02:44] scientists by the U.S. Israeli [00:02:47] of aggressors has proved the falsehood [00:02:49] of their claims to human rights, freedoms and similar topics. he [00:02:53] praised a new leader [00:02:57] in of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah sayid Mushtaba Khamenei, describing his character in terms of ethics, logic [00:03:01] and humility as truly [00:03:02] exceptional. [00:03:08] We earlier talked to former US government advisor Paul Larudi. He [00:03:12] said the US pressure campaign against the Iranian government and [00:03:16] nation cannot meet Washington's [00:03:18] of interest in the long run, and Iran has already proved [00:03:21] this. [00:03:25] Overall goal is to [00:03:26] of make Iran basically submit to. will [00:03:30] of the US and to [00:03:33] control the the government of Iran. I [00:03:37] think that the Iran is perfectly [00:03:40] a within its rights and it is [00:03:44] the logical kind of [00:03:48] position to take that that they will not [00:03:51] accept this and that they [00:03:54] of will not be dominated by by such things [00:03:58] actions [00:03:59] of the United. states have been against both the [00:04:03] people and the the governments [00:04:06] of these countries, and [00:04:09] so I think that holds [00:04:12] perfectly [00:04:14] in well, the United States does not act on behalf [00:04:17] of the people, it has created so many death [00:04:21] and and misery and [00:04:25] refugees, this is this [00:04:28] of is the attack. and the invasions and the [00:04:32] attempts to [00:04:33] of use force to get the will [00:04:37] of the United States to be [00:04:41] the primary force in the government of of a [00:04:44] country. um, this is, this has been [00:04:47] it's it's a foolish way of trying to do things, in the long [00:04:51] run it cannot work, and and Iran certainly is proof [00:04:55] of of that. [00:04:58] meanwhile, Iran's... foren ministry spokesman says a joint statement between [00:05:02] Iran and Arman on the shade of hormus is now at the [00:05:06] of stage of final review and drafting. Ism baghayi [00:05:09] described the talks with ourman on managing maritime. traffic in the [00:05:13] strategic waterway as professional, adding that both sides have [00:05:17] agreed on the route coordinates. he stress at the closure the shirt of hormus [00:05:20] was the result of US and Israeli regime's aggression against [00:05:24] Iran. the spokesman said and Iran omman understanding [00:05:28] alone cannot mean that the straight has become safe for passing vessels [00:05:32] as a factors causing insecurity, including the US naval [00:05:36] blockade still remain. he also said that talks between Iran and [00:05:39] Dan as the two coastal states the straight of form. news have been [00:05:43] underway over the past two months to establish safe root for [00:05:46] commercial [00:05:47] shipping. [00:05:51] Iran's deputy foreign minister calzim says reaching [00:05:55] and understanding withherman over the straight of hormos does not mean the [00:05:59] waterway will be reopened. Ababadi said the [00:06:02] understanding will be solely between Iran and [00:06:06] arman, adding that tahron does not accept any foreign interference. He [00:06:10] stuts that the reopening the... is subject to its [00:06:14] own conditions, including US commitments under the Islamabad [00:06:17] memorandum of understanding. He added that Washington has [00:06:21] violated the Mou citing the naval blockade and the reimposition of [00:06:25] sanctions against [00:06:26] Iran. [00:06:30] Historian and investigative journalist Tony Galsing says it is on [00:06:34] Iran and Darman to decide about the management the Hormus trades [00:06:38] and no superpower has a right to [00:06:40] intervene. [00:06:44] 'Iran will always have influence over the straights and formus, [00:06:48] I mean, if they want to close it if you want to close the [00:06:51] straights, you can - no one is going to be able to stop you doing that, [00:06:55] in fact [00:06:56] that it would be almost unthinkable uh, it's like saying that the British have [00:07:00] got no influence over the English channel or the Americans have [00:07:04] got no influence over the hudson river uh next to Manhattan [00:07:07] Island uh so you anyone that says otherwise is going [00:07:11] into the realm'. the absurdity. Oman and Iran [00:07:15] are on the scene. America is four, four and a [00:07:19] half, maybe even more thousand miles away, [00:07:22] and so obviously the American um [00:07:25] involvement with the straights of hm is is [00:07:28] really a an imposition, it's a bit of churts par, the [00:07:32] Americans are trying to project their power around the world, [00:07:36] they're not doing too well. This is something for Aman and [00:07:40] Iran to decide. It's not for. the superpowers to [00:07:43] intervene, the Chinese are not intervening, the Russians are not intervening uh, [00:07:47] but the Americans seem to think it's their business to shut [00:07:50] off fertilizer and oil for the rest the [00:07:54] world - and I can tell you why I think that is, if you look at [00:07:57] the um profits the oil company BP in the last [00:08:01] quarter, those profits have soored 50% in one [00:08:05] quarter, so that's an equivalent of [00:08:08] 200% a year, profits, that is, not turnover, profit. [00:08:12] bit soaring and so what you've seen is the oil [00:08:16] majors uh making an absolute fortune and of [00:08:19] course all insiders who know what Trump's about to announce just [00:08:23] before. [00:08:27] Iran's industry minister Muhammad Atabak has visited [00:08:31] Pakistan for talks aimed at boosting bilateral economic [00:08:34] cooperation. He in Pakistan's commerce minister co-chaireed the [00:08:38] latest session the joint trade committee between the two countries. [00:08:42] Both sides reaffirm their commitment to increasing annual trade to $10 [00:08:46] billion. Press TVs Nasir Kozmi reports from [00:08:49] Islamabad. [00:08:53] Pakistan and Iran have signed memorandum of understanding to deepen [00:08:57] trade and commercial cooperation, marking another milestone in their [00:09:01] efforts to strengthen bilateral economic relations. The [00:09:05] agreement was signed during the 10th session the Pakistan Iran joint trade [00:09:09] committee co- chaired by Iran's minister of industry. and [00:09:12] trade Mohammed Atabak and Pakistan's commerce minister [00:09:16] Jam Kamal Khan. The two sides reaffirmed their commitment to [00:09:20] increasing annual bilateral trade to 10 billion US [00:09:23] dollars. It's not something out of reach. I'm [00:09:27] quite optimistic that this amount will be [00:09:31] reached and it's not something that [00:09:34] is out of touch. So uh, there are few things [00:09:38] that if we solve it, definitely will be. [00:09:43] even above that, discussion were mainly [00:09:46] on trade, how we can [00:09:50] increase the trade amount [00:09:52] with Pakistan, [00:09:56] neighboring and brother nation right beside [00:10:00] us. The memorandum outlines a road map for expanding economic [00:10:04] cooperation by activating border economic regions, [00:10:07] increasing border trade with greater private sector participation, [00:10:11] exchanging technical delegations and immediately [00:10:14] implementing existing bilateral agreements. [00:10:18] Iranian and Pakistani officials also agreed to continue [00:10:21] working toward a formal free trade agreement. "the aim is [00:10:25] to see and strengthen the bilateral [00:10:29] trade relationship in between both the countries for [00:10:32] which both the countries leadership have set a [00:10:36] target of 10 billion dollars and for that [00:10:39] purpose we are seeing those opportunities way [00:10:42] forward the bottlenecks [00:10:45] which restrict free [00:10:48] trade in between the countries and at the same time we are [00:10:52] also working a uh" between Pakistan and [00:10:56] Iran. On the sidelines the committee meeting, business [00:11:00] officials of both countries met at the federation of Pakistan Chambers [00:11:04] of Commerce and Industry. They discuss the challenges facing [00:11:08] bilateral trade and propose measures to increase commercial [00:11:11] exchanges to stronger private sector engagement, improved [00:11:15] border infrastructure and simplified trade [00:11:18] procedures. Kafi discussion hui. One the key topics [00:11:22] discussed with the visiting Iranian minister, was the establishment of [00:11:26] a joint industrial zone where a wide range of industries could [00:11:30] operate. We also discussed the gas pipeline project. Since [00:11:33] energy is one of Pakistan's highest production costs, the pipeline could [00:11:37] significantly reduce the cost of gas and electricity in our [00:11:41] country. There are also many products that Iran manufactures at [00:11:45] very reasonable prices, and we intend to import them from [00:11:48] Iran. During his visit, Minister Atabak met Prime [00:11:52] Minister Shabaz Sharief. He thanked Pak. Pakistan for its [00:11:55] mediation efforts aimed at ending the war the United States and [00:11:59] Israel launched against Iran earlier this year. The [00:12:03] frequency of high level visit suggests Pakistan and Iran [00:12:07] are committed to deepening their strategic economic partnership. Both [00:12:11] countries are now focused on expanding trade, strengthening industrial [00:12:15] cooperation and achieving their share 10 billion dollar [00:12:18] annual trade target.

[00:15:58] in other news, a Palestinian media group has released a new [00:16:01] report warning that human rights violations against Palestinian [00:16:05] abducties in Israeli prisons have sharply risen during [00:16:08] July. According to the Assara media office, as number of [00:16:12] Palestinian abductees in the regime's jails reaches unprecedented [00:16:16] levels. There has been a remarkable uptick in such rights, [00:16:20] violations as torture, starvation, medical neglect and [00:16:24] isolation. The office said it has documented [00:16:27] escalation in the use of repressive tactics inside [00:16:31] Israely prisons, including raids on sections, beatings of [00:16:34] prisoners, the use of rubber bullets and police. dogs and [00:16:38] solitary confinement, it added that torture in Israeli jails is [00:16:42] not limited to physical harm, but also extends to psychological [00:16:46] damage, leaving prisoners with lasting trauma, fear and [00:16:49] nightmares. the office noted that there are about [00:16:52] 9500 Palestinians in Israeli jails, including [00:16:56] hundreds of women and children, and over 3,200 [00:17:00] administrative detanees who are being held without [00:17:03] charges or trial. [00:17:08] In other news, the US state of New Mexico hassued the department of [00:17:12] justice for access to unredacted files of on Jeffrey [00:17:16] Epstein saying the federal agency is stonewalning investigation [00:17:20] into the late sex offender by refusing to provide the documents. The [00:17:24] Democratic Run State reopened its Abseine investigation in [00:17:28] February requesting unredacted files to identify visitors [00:17:31] and staff a property owned by UPSSE in New Mexico. The [00:17:35] department of Justice says a can provide some files, but cannot [00:17:39] supply other material due to privacy protections. the New [00:17:43] Mexico lawsuit argues that federal action does not [00:17:46] merely solve the investigation, but also prolongs and compounds the [00:17:50] suffering of survivors. it has requested that the US district [00:17:54] court for the district of colombia compel acting attorney [00:17:58] general Todd Blanche to release the requested files. the [00:18:02] development came after New Mexico legislators released an interm [00:18:05] report on their independent. investigation into the epsine case. [00:18:09] They said evidence to date shows Epstin abused at least five [00:18:13] women and girls as New Mexico Ranch between [00:18:16] 1996 and [00:18:17] 2012. [00:18:22] Moving now over to the Yemani armed forces who have struck a Saudi [00:18:26] oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden with ballistic missile forcing it to [00:18:29] return. The Yemani Army spokesperson announced that [00:18:33] they successfully hit the Saudi tanker Daisy marking the latest. [00:18:37] operation under the siege for siege maritime blockade, he warned that [00:18:41] no Saudi oil vessel will be allowed to pass through either the southern [00:18:45] or northern red sea until the Saudi bloccade on Yeman is [00:18:49] lifted. The incident followed Yeman strike on the Saudi [00:18:52] vessel, Wafa, north of Yumboa, which Ansada law [00:18:56] official called a new phase in the maritime confrontation, [00:19:00] proving that efforts to bypass a blocade are [00:19:02] futile. [00:19:10] Crossing now over to Ashhur, village in south Lebanon's [00:19:14] Tyre district, which is among many communities that have played center [00:19:18] role in the region's history of resistance against occupation. Its [00:19:22] residents were among the last to leave their village during the most recent [00:19:25] war, now [00:19:26] with village located near Israel's so-called yellow line, [00:19:30] returning residents are under growing pressure as they try to [00:19:34] rebuild. Our correspondent hussein amad spoke to resident and [00:19:37] officials to examine the villages current [00:19:40] situation [00:19:45] valley with its homes hunging its sheer cliffs and hilltops [00:19:49] shor, village less than 25 kilometers any direction [00:19:53] from Israely regime forces. sites of destruction across it are [00:19:56] common and evident, yet they do not defile the simple beauty of its [00:20:00] architecture, nor wipe out the history carefully woven into its narrow [00:20:04] streets and the banks the litani river, the base of... valley, [00:20:08] horse people were the first to return and the last to leave southern Lebanon [00:20:12] during the latest Israeli aggression, even their current stay is [00:20:15] underscored by constant sounds of massive explosions and drone [00:20:19] surveillance. As soon as the threat against the [00:20:23] village resinded, the municipality immediately began all the [00:20:26] required maintenance to welcome back its residents. Many families of our [00:20:30] village have sacrifice their loved ones for the privilege of returning to and [00:20:34] staying in their homes. It is also a thing of beauty. seeing how all [00:20:38] residents cooperated with us to achieve that goal as effectively as possible. [00:20:42] Amits the narrow web-like streets the village, one can feel the history [00:20:45] etched into its walls. The village was home to two central figures. [00:20:50] present the history the south's defiance and pursuit of [00:20:53] rights, sayid Abdul Hussein Sharafuddeen, led popular [00:20:57] mobilization against the French occupiers and [00:21:00] Musadr, he established the first popular armed resistance movement [00:21:04] against the Israeli occupation the time and led efforts to secure the [00:21:08] south natural right to development and civic [00:21:11] recognition after years of government [00:21:14] neglect. Imam Musader's role [00:21:17] incompassed not just raising the first. banner of armed resistance, but [00:21:21] also setting the cultural, social and economic foundation [00:21:25] for the emancipation the southern Lebanese people, especially the [00:21:29] Shia population. His efforts to connect the southerners with their [00:21:32] compatriots of other sects, thanks to his open-minded strategy [00:21:36] caused the government to finally pay attention to the south's needs and [00:21:40] rights. At night, as the heat subsides, the village comes [00:21:44] alive with residents gathering to commemorate Imam Hussein and [00:21:47] Shur's most recent marters. Haj ali [00:21:50] azain, the father of two marters, leads a food distribution [00:21:54] initiative serving the villages [00:21:56] residents. My martered son [00:22:00] established this food distribution stall and ran it every year [00:22:04] during Ashura through the 13th of Maharram. We are [00:22:07] continuing that tradition on his behalf even now. We have [00:22:11] received more than enough support from generous village residence [00:22:15] and the municipality, which allows us to do this weekly throughout the [00:22:19] month. Almost all residents have returned and the presence of [00:22:22] Israeli forces does not scare us, neither do their [00:22:26] daily attacks. [00:22:29] I don't know if the mic caught what we just fell, but those sounds are an example [00:22:33] the cost of people's attachment to in resilience a [00:22:36] land that they have given everything to hold. The village of Shur lies right [00:22:40] above the banks the Litani River and has rich history tucked into its narrow coble [00:22:44] streets. One the oldest lived in places in the south. The town is the original [00:22:48] home the first legendary resistance. leader Imam Musadr. The [00:22:52] town has given many murders to the cause, including its own municipal president, and is [00:22:55] only a short distance away from Israel's yellow line, yet its people waste no [00:22:59] time returning to bring life back to old alleyways.

[00:28:16] Lebanon signed the pe steel. I know, I know [00:28:20] p steel is doing lot of heavy lifting here like calling [00:28:24] hostage negotiation, a play date. Here is the [00:28:27] setup, one side has tanks parked in the other side's backyard. The [00:28:31] other sides. resistance the only force that actually fought [00:28:35] Israel to a stand still in this region for two decades was [00:28:39] even allowed in the room, that's not negotiation, that's the [00:28:43] occupier writing the terms and calling it diplomacy. Washington [00:28:47] called it a good day, Israel side called it a major win, [00:28:50] lebanon's government called it a first step towards sovereignty, [00:28:54] but here's what the deal actually says: israely troops stay in [00:28:58] southern Lebanon for as long as they want, no dead l [00:29:03] no exit date, meanwhile the Lebanese army is handed the [00:29:06] job, this arm the Islamic Resistance, the group [00:29:10] that drove Israel out of Lebanon once before a [00:29:14] strict timeline with Israel and Washington grading its [00:29:17] progress, they even build a committee for it, the military [00:29:21] coordination group whose job is to decide if Lebanon is being [00:29:25] sovereign enough, think about that, nation needs a permission [00:29:28] slip co-signed by the country occupying it to [00:29:32] true it controls its own territory and while Lebanon [00:29:36] disarms its own defenders, Nitin Yahoo, a [00:29:39] man wanted by the international criminal court is [00:29:42] celebrating, because the deal lets his army stay [00:29:45] exactly where it is. when the side facing war [00:29:49] crime charges is the happiest person at the signing that [00:29:53] tells you everything about who this deal actually serves. this is [00:29:57] after months of Israeli strikes that killed [00:29:59] 4,200 people and and displace [00:30:03] hundreds of thousands of Lebanese Civilians, according to Lebanon's [00:30:06] own health ministry. Now even rebuild their homes, [00:30:10] lebanese families need their government to hit [00:30:13] milestones approved by the same countries that [00:30:17] just put them. We have seen this movie before [00:30:20] 1983, same promises, same playbook and [00:30:24] even weaker lebanese garment and far more Israeli troops [00:30:27] on the ground. It took the Lebanese people less than year to rip it [00:30:31] to pieces. and built a resistance that fought [00:30:35] Israel out their country instead. history already answered the [00:30:38] question, this agreement is pretending to ask. the only [00:30:42] thing that ever restored lebanese sovereignty wasn't a [00:30:46] signature in Washington, it was [00:30:49] resistance.
