[00:01:46] dissatisfied and provoking them to protest, but the Iranian people will
[00:01:50] stand for their country. Mas Pesishian added that the entire
[00:01:54] Iranian nation helped to keep the country together, even those
[00:01:57] of who had objections to the government.
[00:02:08] The fact that we could continue, it's because
[00:02:11] of the noble people of Iran, not just the people
[00:02:13] who gathered in the streets, everybody who endears
[00:02:17] and holds iran dearly in their heart,
[00:02:21] despite all the difficulties, it's not just the people who gathered in the streets,
[00:02:25] it was not just
[00:02:25] them,
[00:02:30] see the difficulties and tolerates them, they are working for
[00:02:34] their country sanctions
[00:02:38] speaking
[00:02:38] in a televised interview said the government has managed the country
[00:02:42] under the most difficult conditions since the islamic revolution by
[00:02:46] relying on the people's solidarity, he cited war, sanctions,
[00:02:50] of energy imbalance and water
[00:02:52] a crisis as the most important challenges facing the
[00:02:55] nation stress that the enemies plotted to cause
[00:02:58] social collapse and force the country into submission through missile strikes
[00:03:02] and destruction, but the people's support prevented that. the Iranian president
[00:03:06] asserted that the assassination
[00:03:08] of the martered leader
[00:03:09] of the islamic revolution as well as military commanders and scientists by the
[00:03:13] US-Israeli
[00:03:14] of aggressors has proved the falsehood
[00:03:18] of their claims to human rights, freedoms
[00:03:21] and similar topics. he
[00:03:23] a praised the new leader
[00:03:24] of the islamic revolution,
[00:03:28] describing his character in terms of ethics, logic
[00:03:31] and humility as truly
[00:03:34] exceptional.
[00:03:39] Iran's foreign ministry spokesman says a joint statement between Iran
[00:03:43] and oman on the straight of hormos is now the
[00:03:46] stage of final review and
[00:03:49] of of drafting described the talks with
[00:03:50] of oman on managing maritime traffic in the strategic waterways professional
[00:03:54] adding that both sides have agreed on the
[00:03:58] root coordinates he stress that the closure
[00:04:01] of the straight of hormos was the result of US and Israeli regimes aggression
[00:04:04] against Iran, the spokesman said and Iran Oman understanding
[00:04:08] alone cannot mean that the straight has
[00:04:12] of become safe for passing vessels as the factors causing
[00:04:16] in security including the US naval blockade still remain. He also said
[00:04:20] talks between Iran and
[00:04:21] a Doman as the two coastal states
[00:04:24] of the straight of hormos have been underway over the past two months to
[00:04:28] establish safe route for. for commercial
[00:04:30] shipping,
[00:04:35] historian and investigative journalist says, it's on Iran and
[00:04:39] Doman to decide about the management
[00:04:41] of the hormos straight, and no superpower has
[00:04:45] the right to
[00:04:46] intervene.
[00:04:50] Iran will always have
[00:04:52] of influence over the straights of horm, I mean if they want to
[00:04:56] close it, if you want to close the straights, you can, no... is going to
[00:05:00] be able to stop you do doing that, in fact, that it would be almost
[00:05:03] unthinkable uh, it's like
[00:05:05] of saying that the British have got no influence over the English channel, or the
[00:05:09] Americans have got no influence over the Hudson River. uh next to
[00:05:13] Manhattan Island uh so you anyone that says
[00:05:16] otherwise is going into the realms of absurdity.
[00:05:20] Oman and Iran are on the scene. America is
[00:05:24] four, four and a half, maybe even more thousand miles
[00:05:27] away, and so obviously the American
[00:05:30] um involvement with the straights of hm is
[00:05:34] is really an imposition, it's a bit of churts
[00:05:38] part, the Americans are trying to project their power around the world.
[00:05:42] they're not doing too well, this is something for Aman and
[00:05:46] Iran to decide, it's not for
[00:05:48] the the superpowers to intervene, the Chinese are not intervening, the Russians are not
[00:05:52] intervening uh, but the Americans seem to think it's their business
[00:05:56] to shut off uh fertilizer and oil for the rest
[00:06:00] the world - and and I can tell you why I think that is, if you look at
[00:06:03] the um profits the oil company BP in the last
[00:06:07] quarter those profits have soored 50% in one
[00:06:11] quarter. so that's an equivalent of
[00:06:14] 200% a year, profits, that is, not turnover,
[00:06:18] profit soaring, and so what you've seen is the oil
[00:06:22] majors uh, making an absolute fortune, and of
[00:06:26] course all insiders who know what Trump's about to announce just
[00:06:29] before, Iran's
[00:06:33] industry minister Muhammad has visited
[00:06:36] Pakistan for talks seem to boosting bilateral economic
[00:06:39] cooperation, he in Pakistan's commerce minister. co-chair at the
[00:06:43] latest session the joint trade committee between the two countries, both sides
[00:06:47] reaffirm their commitment to increase the annual trade to 10 billion dollars,
[00:06:50] press tv's
[00:06:51] now sir kosmi reports from
[00:06:53] Islamabad.
[00:06:56] Pakistan and Iran have signed a memorandum of understanding to deepen
[00:07:00] trade and commercial cooperation, marking another milestone in their
[00:07:04] efforts to strengthen bilateral economic relations. The
[00:07:07] agreement was signed during the 10th session the Pakistan Iran joint
[00:07:11] trade committee. co- chaired by Iran's minister of industry, mine
[00:07:15] and trade Mohammed Atabak and Pakistan's commerce
[00:07:19] minister Jam Kamal Khan. The two sides reaffirmed their
[00:07:23] commitment to increasing annual bilateral trade to 10 billion US
[00:07:26] dollars. It's not something out of reach. I'm
[00:07:30] quite optimistic that this amount will be
[00:07:34] reached and uh it's not something that
[00:07:37] is out of touch. So uh, there are few
[00:07:41] things
[00:07:41] that if we..." sol it definitely will
[00:07:45] be even above that, discussion were mainly
[00:07:49] on trade, how we can
[00:07:52] increase the trade amount
[00:07:55] with Pakistan, a
[00:07:59] neighboring and brother nation right
[00:08:03] beside us. The memorandum outlines a road map for expanding
[00:08:06] economic cooperation by activating border economic regions,
[00:08:10] increasing border trade with private sector participation,
[00:08:14] exchanging technical delegations and immediately
[00:08:17] implementing existing bilateral agreements.
[00:08:21] Iranian and Pakistani officials also agreed to continue
[00:08:24] working toward a formal free trade agreement. The aim is
[00:08:28] to see and strengthen the bilateral
[00:08:32] trade relationship in between both the countries for
[00:08:35] which both the countries leadership have set a
[00:08:39] target of 10 billion dollars and for that purp.
[00:08:42] first we are seeing those opportunities way
[00:08:45] forward, the bottle necks
[00:08:48] which restrict free
[00:08:51] trade in between the countries and at the same time we are
[00:08:55] also working a FTA in between Pakistan and
[00:08:59] Iran. On the sidelines the committee meeting, business
[00:09:03] officials of both countries met at the Federation of Pakistan Chambers
[00:09:07] of Commerce and Industry. They discuss the challenges facing
[00:09:11] bilateral trade. and propose measures to increase commercial
[00:09:14] exchanges through stronger private sector engagement, improved
[00:09:18] border infrastructure and simplified trade
[00:09:21] procedures. kafi discussion hui. one the key topics
[00:09:25] discussed with the visiting Iranian minister was the establishment of
[00:09:29] a joint industrial zone where a wide range of industries could
[00:09:33] operate. we also discussed the gas pipeline project. since
[00:09:36] energy is one of Pakistan's highest production costs, the pipeline could
[00:09:40] significantly reduce the cost. of gas and electricity in our
[00:09:44] country. There are also many products that Iran manufactures at
[00:09:48] very reasonable prices and we intend to import them from
[00:09:51] Iran. During his visit, Minister Atabak met Prime
[00:09:55] Minister Shahbaz Sharif. He thanked Pakistan for its mediation
[00:09:59] efforts aimed at ending the war the United States and Israel
[00:10:03] launched against Iran earlier this year. The frequency
[00:10:07] of high level visit suggests Pakistan and Iran are committed to
[00:10:11] deepening their strategic economic. economic partnership, both countries are
[00:10:14] now focused on expanding trade, strengthening industrial
[00:10:18] cooperation and achieving their shared 10 billion dollar
[00:10:21] annual trade target. Nasir Kazmi reported. forpress
[00:10:25] tv in
[00:10:27] Islamabad. The Israeli
[00:10:31] regime has attacked the galandia refugee camp in the occupied West Bank for the second
[00:10:35] consecutive day. Soldiers raided over dozen houses and clashed with
[00:10:39] Palestinians a used live fire and teargas to disperse
[00:10:42] protesters angry over the repeated
[00:10:45] incursions. The Palestinian Red Creson
[00:10:48] says, "11 people have been injured in Thursday's attacks.
[00:10:52] Local Palestinian officials in Gallania say the..." ongoing military
[00:10:56] operation involves the destruction of homes, the theft of money
[00:10:59] and uh gold and jewelry and the conversion
[00:11:03] of eight residential properties into military
[00:11:05] barracks. the Israely military says the operation can go
[00:11:09] on for days in order to root out the quote terrorist
[00:11:13] infrastructure. galandia is key um
[00:11:16] artery connecting romamala and the northern occupied west
[00:11:20] bank to occupied east al-quds and cities
[00:11:24] further.
[00:11:25] south.
[00:11:32] Israeli forces launched a large-scale raid on galandia refugee
[00:11:35] camp in the central occupied west bank in the early hours of Wednesday.
[00:11:39] hundreds of soldiers armored vehicles and
[00:11:42] bulldozers uh were deployed.
[00:11:45] residents fear the operation could turn into a prolonged military campaign
[00:11:49] similar to those carried out in refugee camps across the
[00:11:53] northern West Bank in the past months.
[00:12:03] occupied al-Quds woke to the sounds of military buldozers as
[00:12:06] Israeli forces stormed the camp overnight, neighborhoods were
[00:12:10] surrounded and homes were
[00:12:12] searched.
[00:12:16] since midnight Israeli forces have entered kalania with large numbers
[00:12:20] of infantry, military jeeps, bulldozers and armored
[00:12:24] vehicles. They storm homes, smashing and damaging property
[00:12:28] without regard for children, women or the elderly. Even medics and
[00:12:32] journalists have been targeted, two paramedics were arrested, and we came
[00:12:36] under direct fire inside the camp, but despite everything, we
[00:12:39] remain here and we will stay. Community volunteers say
[00:12:43] many people have remained confined inside their houses since the
[00:12:47] operation
[00:12:48] began.
[00:13:25] West bank, the same model it applied in the northern refugee camps.
[00:13:28] Beyond the military dimension, the operation also sends a political
[00:13:32] message that pressure on Palestinian communities will continue,
[00:13:36] while Israel's leadership seeks to strengthen its position among right-wing and
[00:13:40] far-right
[00:13:40] voters. For
[00:13:44] residents of Qalandia, today's operation has raised
[00:13:48] fears that their camp could face the same prolonged military
[00:13:51] campaign experienced elsewhere in the west bank. Many
[00:13:55] worry that what began as overnight raids could evolve into a
[00:13:59] broader strategy, targeting refugee camps across the occupied
[00:14:03] territories. The escalation targeting refugee camps across the
[00:14:07] west bank is nothing new, but the latest attack on Colindia
[00:14:11] marks another step in efforts to undermine Palestinian rights
[00:14:15] of return and erode their broader rights.

[00:14:22] bank.
[00:14:26] The Israeli regime launches new attacks on southern Lebanon in violation of a cease fire
[00:14:30] deal with the Arab country. The latest strikes targeted areas uh in
[00:14:34] and around the city of Tyre, woaning at least four people. The
[00:14:38] attacks forced many residents to leave their homes. Witnesses also
[00:14:42] reported continuous Israeli artillery shelling in the area. The attacks
[00:14:45] came after the uh Israeli regime confirm the
[00:14:49] killing of two of its soldiers and the
[00:14:53] injury of several others. and an explosion entire
[00:14:57] district, according to Lebanon's health ministry, since March
[00:15:00] the 2nd, Israeli attacks have killed over 4,300
[00:15:04] people and wonded more than 12,250
[00:15:07] others.
[00:15:14] As Yemen's armed forces continue enforcing naval blockade on Saudi
[00:15:18] shipping, a maritime tracking service has reported a sharp
[00:15:21] drop and shipping traffic through the Babal Mandips. straight the
[00:15:25] report by Kepler said only one
[00:15:29] commodity vessel cross Sababab on Wednesday down from
[00:15:33] 20 the previous day. It said average of 41 ships across the
[00:15:36] strategic. waterway each day in the week before the naval blockade was
[00:15:40] announced, the report comes following Yemen's armed forces spokesperson
[00:15:44] announcing on Wednesday that the country's forces have
[00:15:47] targeted eight Saudi oil tankers since the blockade began on
[00:15:51] July the 22nd. He added the 29 Saudi oil tankers
[00:15:55] have been prevented from proceeding and forced to turn back in the Red
[00:15:59] Sea and the Arabian sea. Yemen has been under decade long
[00:16:03] bloccade by Saudi Arabia following years of war and a
[00:16:06] tentative. "the situation escalated again after a Saudi
[00:16:10] attack on Santa International Airport. Since then, Yemen has been
[00:16:14] implementing a blockade for blockade policy on
[00:16:17] Riyadh.
[00:16:22] We have any health officials have warned that years of blockade
[00:16:25] and air restrictions have pushed the country's healthcare system
[00:16:29] to the brink of collapse, a press conference in San, they said millions of
[00:16:33] people are being denied access to essential healthcare while thousands.
[00:16:37] critically old patients remain stranded. Press TV's Yahyazi reports from
[00:16:41] Sanha.
[00:16:45] Sanha airport, the primary lifeline for millions of civilians,
[00:16:49] remains under crushing stranglehold, following a trust between
[00:16:52] Yemen's warning sides in April 2022, flights were
[00:16:56] restricted to just a single destination, breaking
[00:16:59] agreements to expand rout. The crisis escalated further after
[00:17:03] Israeli strikes forced the airport to closer last year. That
[00:17:07] comes as Saudi authorities continue to deny commercial carriers access to
[00:17:11] Sanhaz airspace, most recently preventing an Iranian
[00:17:15] flight from londing last month.
[00:17:19] Before the aggression, more than 2.5 million passengers traveled through
[00:17:23] Sena International Airport annually. While during the Truise
[00:17:27] period, that number hasn't even reached around 100
[00:17:30] thousand. That's only about 3%, restricted
[00:17:34] to a single destination and a single airline.
[00:17:40] The air blockade has transformed infrastructure crisis into a mass
[00:17:43] health catastrophe
[00:17:45] over 1600 pharmaceutical items have completely
[00:17:48] disappeared from yemani markets since temperature sensitive
[00:17:52] medications cannot survive months of delayed land
[00:17:55] transport through hudaida port. The cluture of Sanha airport has
[00:17:59] severed the supply line for viral chemotherapy and called chain
[00:18:03] drugs.
[00:18:07] at least 12,00 patients who need apet scan.
[00:18:10] this means they are forced to travel abroad just to get
[00:18:14] which ap is
[00:18:15] scan, a form of imaging and then return back here with the
[00:18:18] results. this is completely unreasonable
[00:18:22] and illogical. the crisis stems from
[00:18:26] direct military targeting and economic strungulation. as
[00:18:29] result, local drug prediction has been cribbled, leaving millions
[00:18:33] of people with chronic disease unable to afford even basic
[00:18:37] care. two pharmaceutical factories were
[00:18:40] directly targeted by enemy air strikes. On top of that,
[00:18:44] the airport closure and transport delays have inflated medicine prices by
[00:18:48] 200% and 83 medicine companies have withdrawn from the market due
[00:18:52] to the import
[00:18:53] restrictions.
[00:18:57] Officials empathize that the air blockade acts as silent war
[00:19:01] that kills patients long before medical supplies
[00:19:04] ever reach the tarmac. with Sana airport
[00:19:08] handling 90% of Yemen's medical import, officials stress
[00:19:12] that keeping these runways closed isn't just a blocate for 31
[00:19:16] million people. It is deliberate death sentence.
[00:19:19] Yahyazir, press TV,
[00:19:21] Sanha. And here are Shima Marks, the
[00:19:25] 81st anniversary the US atomic bombing the
[00:19:29] western Japanese city. Prime Minister Asana itakaichi let the
[00:19:33] commemorations at the peace Memorial Park. She pledged to do
[00:19:37] everything. power to realize a world without nuclear weapons and
[00:19:40] lasting peace about 50,000 people, including
[00:19:43] representatives, some some 120 countries and regions attended
[00:19:47] the ceremony, a USB-29 bomber dropped a
[00:19:50] 15 kiloton uranium bomb on Hiroshima
[00:19:54] on August 6th, 1945, killing an
[00:19:58] estimated 140,000 people, three days after the
[00:20:02] devastation in Hiroshima, US dropped a plutonium bomb on
[00:20:06] the city of Nagasaki. killing
[00:20:08] 74,000 more
[00:20:10] people.
[00:20:17] Japan is marking 81 years since the United States dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima,
[00:20:21] leaving some 150,00 people. Dead government officials and
[00:20:25] delegates from many countries have attended the memorial ceremony to show
[00:20:28] respect to the victims the 1945 bomb
[00:20:32] attack. We have more in this
[00:20:33] report. the
[00:20:37] final stages of World War II in 1945, US
[00:20:41] Army Air Force preparing to drop the 4000 kilogram uranium bomb
[00:20:45] code named Little Boy on the Japanese city of Hiroshima and the morning of
[00:20:49] August 6. turned into a time of tragedy the world will never
[00:20:52] forget. when the little boy was dropped on the city, 70,00
[00:20:56] people were incinerated immediately. another 7000 died of
[00:21:00] injuries and radiation exposure in the following years. the US
[00:21:04] dropped a second atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki just few days
[00:21:08] later, right a time when news the first catastrophe were
[00:21:11] surfacing. that second attack took the lives of 70,000
[00:21:15] more
[00:21:15] people.
[00:21:21] 81 years on, the Japanese nation is still grieving,
[00:21:25] thousands including aging survivors, relatives and government
[00:21:28] officials attended the annual ceremony at Hiroshima Peace Memorial
[00:21:32] Park. Speaking at the ceremony, Japanese prime minister said the
[00:21:36] lessons of Hiroshima must not be forgotten. Hiroshima, the
[00:21:40] devastation rought by the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and
[00:21:44] the unspeakable suffering endured by so many must never be repeated.
[00:21:48] Our nation firmly upholds the three non nuclear principles, and as the
[00:21:51] world's only country to have suffered atomic bombings in war, bears the mission
[00:21:55] of tirelessly continuing efforts toward the realization of a world without
[00:21:59] nuclear weapons. The Japanese are hoping for a world free from
[00:22:03] nuclear weapons so that other people will have to go through similar
[00:22:07] tragedy. But in a world where nuclear states are spending hundreds of
[00:22:10] billions of dollars to upgrade their atomic arsenals, that appears to be a
[00:22:14] farfetched wish. The United States is the only country that ever
[00:22:18] used nuclear weapons against. its enemy and after all these years it
[00:22:22] was never held accountable for the deaths and destruction it caused to
[00:27:45] It was just after 10:00 in the evening, the Imam Hassan community
[00:27:49] gathering in the city of Ray had begon empty,
[00:27:53] eight-year-old avin Amir Khashani, a little girl with brown hair, dimples
[00:27:57] and bright eyes was walking hand in hand with her
[00:27:59] mother, without warning the night. sky turn yellow,
[00:28:03] deafining explosion from the nearby oil refinery shook the
[00:28:07] ground beneath them. "mum, mum, run, run!", avina
[00:28:10] screamed, then came the dust, the smoke and the
[00:28:14] silence. the night before avin had
[00:28:18] written in her diary, "dear leader, I want to become a martter like
[00:28:22] you," less than 24 hours later she died, and her
[00:28:26] grandmother's arms. this is story of in's brief
[00:28:29] life told through the memories of her mother day. who was
[00:28:33] herself seriously wounded in the attack. when the war began,
[00:28:37] laila recals i rushed to collect auvin from school. two fighter jets
[00:28:41] flew overhead and she kept asking what was happening. told her, i think
[00:28:45] america has attacked, but don't worry, you're safe. nothing will
[00:28:49] happen to you. as laila reaches the night the
[00:28:53] explosion, her voice begans to shake. that evening, after
[00:28:56] breaking our fast, we went shopping for new year's clothes. we bought avine
[00:29:00] new pair of trousers. They were a little too long, I plan
[00:29:04] to shorten them later, yet never happened. Her husband
[00:29:08] dropped Laila Vene and her younger brother at her mother's house.
[00:29:12] Together they walked to the nightly gathering. Avine happyly
[00:29:15] carried picture the marchered leader. On their way
[00:29:19] home, everything changed, the refinery was struck. The flash was
[00:29:23] blinding, people scattered in every direction. Oving kept shouting, mom,
[00:29:27] run, mom, run. I can still hear her voice. When the dust settled,
[00:29:31] I realized my hand. had been hit by sharpno and my left leg had been
[00:29:35] severed below the ankle. her mother was holding alvin. she looked
[00:29:39] peaceful. there wasn't a scratched on her face. we thought she had
[00:29:43] simply lost consciousness. a stranger picked her up and ran
[00:29:46] towards the hospital. kept screaming, "don't take ofvin
[00:29:50] away," but i couldn't move. i couldn't even hold my own
[00:29:53] daughter one last time. for 10 days while la lay in
[00:29:57] hospital, everyone told her avin was intensive
[00:30:00] care. only the day before. Before the funeral did they
[00:30:04] tell her she had died. Despite the pain. Laila smiles when she
[00:30:07] remembers her daughter. She was like a bottle of perfume. Whenever she entered her
[00:30:11] room, she filled
[00:30:12] it with warmth. Everyone loved her. Today, perhaps no one feels
[00:30:16] Ovine's absence more deeply than her six-year-old brother, Amir
[00:30:20] Ali, who was also injured that night. He didn't just lose
[00:30:24] sister. Their mother says he lost his closest
[00:30:26] friend.
