[00:01:44] of cooperation. He and Pakistan's
[00:01:45] of commerce minister co-chaired the latest session
[00:01:48] of the trade joint trade committee between the two countries. Both sides
[00:01:51] reaffirmed their commitment to increasing annual trade to $10
[00:01:55] billion dollars. Press TV's noser

[00:02:16] of the Pakistan Iran joint trade
[00:02:18] a committee co- chaired by Iran's minister of industry mine and
[00:02:21] trade Mohammed Atabak and
[00:02:23] of Pakistan's
[00:02:24] in commerce minister Jam Kamal Khan. The two sides reaffirmed
[00:02:28] their commitment to increasing. annual bilateral trade to 10 billion
[00:02:32] US dollars, it's not something out of reach,
[00:02:36] i'm quite optimistic that this amount will be
[00:02:39] reached and it's not something
[00:02:43] that is out of
[00:02:44] of touch, so there are few things that if we
[00:02:48] solve it, definitely will be even
[00:02:52] above that, discussion were
[00:02:55] mainly on trade, how we
[00:02:58] can't the trade amount
[00:03:01] with Pakistan,
[00:03:05] neighboring and brother nation right beside
[00:03:09] us. The memorandum outlines road map for expanding economic
[00:03:13] cooperation by
[00:03:14] in activating border economic regions, increasing border trade
[00:03:17] with greater private sector participation, exchanging technical
[00:03:21] delegations and immediately
[00:03:24] of of implementing existing
[00:03:25] of bilateral agreements. Iranian and Pakistani officials
[00:03:29] also agreed to continue working toward a formal free trade
[00:03:32] agreement. the aim is to see and
[00:03:36] strengthen the bilateral trade relationship in
[00:03:39] between both the countries for
[00:03:41] of which both the countries leadership have set a target of
[00:03:45] 10 billion dollars and for that purpose we are
[00:03:49] seeing those opportunities
[00:03:51] of way forward, the bottlenecks
[00:03:54] which restrict free
[00:03:57] trade in between the countries.
[00:04:00] and at the same time we are also working a FTA in
[00:04:04] between Pakistan and Iran. On the sidelines
[00:04:07] of the committee meeting, business officials of both countries met at the
[00:04:11] Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry. They
[00:04:15] discussed the challenges facing bilateral trade and propose
[00:04:19] measures to increase commercial exchanges through stronger private
[00:04:22] in sector a engagement, improved border infrastructure and
[00:04:26] simplify trade procedures. Kafi discussion hui.
[00:04:30] One
[00:04:30] of the key topics discussed with the visiting Iranian minister was the
[00:04:34] establishment of a joint industrial zone where a wide range of
[00:04:38] industries could
[00:04:39] of operate. a We also discussed the gas pipeline project. Since energy
[00:04:43] is one of Pakistan's highest production costs, the pipeline could
[00:04:46] significantly reduce the cost of gas and electricity in our
[00:04:50] country. There are also many products that Iran manufactures at
[00:04:54] very reasonable prices, and we intend to import them from
[00:04:57] Iran. During his visit, Mr. Atabak met prime
[00:05:01] minister
[00:05:01] a Shahbaz Sharif. He thanked Pakistan for its mediation
[00:05:05] efforts aimed at ending the war. The United States and Israel
[00:05:09] launched against Iran earlier this year. The frequent. and see
[00:05:12] of high level visit suggests Pakistan and Iran are committed to
[00:05:16] deepening their strategic economic partnership. Both countries are
[00:05:20] now focused on expanding trade, strengthening industrial
[00:05:23] cooperation and achieving their shared 10 billion dollar
[00:05:27] annual trade target.
[00:05:37] foreign ministry spokesman says a joint statement between Iran and Doman on the straight of
[00:05:40] hormos is now at stage of final review and drafting
[00:05:44] described the talks with Oman on managing maritime traffic in the
[00:05:48] strategic waterway as professional adding that both sides have
[00:05:52] agreed on the root coordinates. researcher and journalist Julia Cusum speaks
[00:05:56] of Iran's effective control over the street despite US efforts to
[00:06:00] undermine Iran's
[00:06:01] sovereignty.
[00:06:05] I was in the straight of Hermoves three months ago and we couldn't
[00:06:09] see any the the Trump's uh so-called armada,
[00:06:13] so-called fleet, um, any the warships that
[00:06:16] were being deployed in the region, including in the
[00:06:20] Hormus area to to make war against
[00:06:24] Iran, so there's both economic,
[00:06:27] dimension of economic sovereignty and dimension of military sovereignty that
[00:06:31] Iran has been successful in reclaiming for months, the
[00:06:35] US is count so-called counter blockade failed, and their
[00:06:38] attempts to breach the Iran's sovereign control.
[00:06:42] Hermus continue to fail, so Iran's
[00:06:46] talks with Oman, which is under the understanding
[00:06:50] that they jointly manage the Humus, but that doesn't mean that
[00:06:54] Oman can give a free past the US and allow US
[00:06:58] pressure to create illegal routes around Oman, which is what the US was
[00:07:02] trying to do few weeks ago, which is what oman was
[00:07:04] enabling, so Iran then talked
[00:07:08] to Oman, and
[00:07:10] it is doing so now to reach. agreement that um
[00:07:14] reaffirms the sovereignty the Islamic Republic
[00:07:17] in um escorting
[00:07:20] and charging tools on on ships for those
[00:07:24] maintenance costs that were requires to move through, while at the
[00:07:28] same time not leaving any room for
[00:07:32] any warships or any um any
[00:07:35] ships that would engage a military aggression against Iran uh
[00:07:39] pass.
[00:07:45] Iran's Ministry of Intelligence says it has dismantled a Musad
[00:07:49] linked Espinage network arresting of 21
[00:07:53] operatives in Kermon province. According to the ministry, the operatives
[00:07:56] provided Mosad with intelligence about sensitive and classified
[00:08:00] military and air defense sites. The Intelligence Ministry has also
[00:08:04] announced seasing military great firearms from five armed
[00:08:08] suspects detained in the January riots. Meanwhile the
[00:08:11] IRGC ground force says it's eliminated the
[00:08:15] terrorist group in the seaston and baluchestan province. the
[00:08:19] armed group had entered Iran from a neighboring country carrying
[00:08:23] weapons and ammunition when they were confronted by the
[00:08:27] IRGC before their planned terrorist operation. the
[00:08:30] IRGC has also arrested eight armed criminals linked to
[00:08:34] terrorist groups who had formed cells to create
[00:08:37] insecurity in the seastana and baluchistan
[00:08:40] province.
[00:08:45] Israeli forces have launched a large-scale military incursion into the occupied west
[00:08:49] bank arresting dozens of palestinians and injuring several others in the galandia
[00:08:53] refugee camp these 16 people have been injured and some
[00:08:56] 60 others including women and children have been abducted. the IOF has
[00:09:00] also continued attacks across other parts the
[00:09:04] occupied west bank, including the cities ofilablus and
[00:09:07] Hebron. on Wednesday they raided a village near Hebron
[00:09:11] wounding several Palestinians including woman and a
[00:09:15] girl. They also set several homes on fire, meanwhile,
[00:09:18] Israeli forces fired tear gas at Press TV crew while they were
[00:09:22] covering IOF raids in
[00:09:24] Gallandia.
[00:09:28] Our correspondent has an update on the ongoing Israeli
[00:09:32] crimes in the occupied West bank as well as
[00:09:35] assault on Press TV
[00:09:37] crew.
[00:09:42] as the uh as the Israeli atrocities continue,
[00:09:46] but uh
[00:09:47] so does the Israeli suppression for the entire media crew
[00:09:51] that is around surrounding us, our colleagues are just
[00:09:55] few meters away uh standing
[00:09:58] because uh we were faced with tear gas
[00:10:02] canisters and sound bombs more than once, so uh
[00:10:05] as um as for as for the Israeli side and the
[00:10:09] Israeli forces of course it's the answer. is always
[00:10:13] suppression, but uh, from our side, the answer is
[00:10:17] always to uh to continue uh coverage and to
[00:10:21] continue this um, to continue making the...
[00:10:25] camera rolling, this is
[00:10:27] this is a high price that we pay uh as press
[00:10:30] TV and as the entire Palestinian
[00:10:34] body, because we know that we are the voice of
[00:10:38] those who are voiceless, until this moment the Palestinian Red Crecent have
[00:10:42] have made an official number the total injuries
[00:10:45] risen up to 13 injuries,
[00:10:49] among them are uh elderlies and uh and
[00:10:53] people uh we have more... more than 60 documented
[00:10:57] cases of suffocation inside a kalandia refugee camp
[00:11:01] who were not be able, the palestinian ampolus was not able to extract
[00:11:05] them from inside the the separated area and
[00:11:08] inside this area that has been uh
[00:11:11] declared
[00:11:13] as um as a military uh as a military
[00:11:16] zone. the Israeli regime
[00:11:20] launches new air strikes on southern Lebanon and violation of
[00:11:23] a ceasefire deal with the Arab country. "the latest strikes targeted
[00:11:26] areas in and around the town of Almansuri. Local
[00:11:30] sources say in two waves Israeli fighter jets targeted residential
[00:11:34] buildings in the town earlier in the day, the regime also conducted an air
[00:11:38] raid on several areas entire region, woning at least four
[00:11:42] people. The attacks forced many residents to leave their homes. Witnesses
[00:11:46] also cited continuous artillery shelling in the area. The attacks came after
[00:11:50] the Israeli regime, confirm the killing of two of its soldiers
[00:11:53] and the injury of seven others in an explosion
[00:11:56] entire. According to Lebanon's health ministry since March 2nd,
[00:12:00] Israeli attacks have killed over 4,300 Lebaneses and wounded more than
[00:12:04] 12,250
[00:12:07] others.
[00:12:12] The Euromet Human rights monitor warns that Israel is attempting to erase war
[00:12:16] crime scenes in Gaza by removing Rubble before independent
[00:12:19] investigators can document or examine them. The group says this could
[00:12:23] destroy crucial evidence and uh the last traces of thousands
[00:12:27] of people still missing beneath the
[00:12:37] Gaza's rabil is more than remains of destroyed homes. It is a
[00:12:41] crime scene. In report this week, Euromediterran human
[00:12:45] rights monitor said Israel is carrying a large scale
[00:12:49] operation to remove and crush debris across Gaza before
[00:12:53] independent investigators and for. experts can
[00:12:56] examine the sides. during the genocide, the
[00:13:00] Israeli army tried to obliterate and defface the war crimes committed
[00:13:04] against our people, which in itself constitutes a crime.
[00:13:08] today, the unknown fate of thousands remains a stressing
[00:13:11] question for their families and by removing rubble from around
[00:13:15] 70% behind the yellow line, the Israeli army is
[00:13:18] destroying threads.
[00:13:22] as we're witnessing,
[00:13:24] the Israeli regime is trying
[00:13:24] to evade. legal prosecution by removing rubble from what we consider to be
[00:13:28] crime scenes. we call on international journalists and investigative
[00:13:32] reporters to press for access to gaza and document this continuing
[00:13:35] genocide. according to the Geneva
[00:13:39] based rights monitor, at least 10 million tons of rubble have
[00:13:43] already been cleared with around 100 Israeli trucks entering
[00:13:47] eastern and southern parts the goza strip each day.
[00:13:51] concerns are growing as Israel continues to part international
[00:13:54] which
[00:14:01] is now inaccessible
[00:14:04] behind the yellow line. they say israeli bulldozers and trucks
[00:14:08] are clearing the rubble to erase our neighborhoods. that rubble
[00:14:12] holds my sons. i'm terrified, i'll never be able to recover
[00:14:16] their bodies or give them a dignified
[00:14:18] burial. the bodies of my mother,
[00:14:22] father, sisters and cousins. 27 members of my
[00:14:26] family in total are still buried beneath the rubble of our
[00:14:29] building. We have no chance of recovering their bodies and now
[00:14:33] I fear that even in death they may be taken away or
[00:14:37] removed by the Israeli
[00:14:39] army.
[00:14:43] Gaza's death toll has surpassed
[00:14:45] 73,300 nearly three years into the
[00:14:49] war. According to official figures, around
[00:14:52] 8,500 people are. still missing and believe
[00:14:56] to be trapped beneath this same rubble. In
[00:15:00] Gaza, the rubble is not only reminder of destruction and the
[00:15:03] aftermath the genocide, it is the last remaining
[00:15:07] link to the missing as it disappears, so do hopes
[00:15:11] of recovering loved ones, preserving evidence
[00:15:15] and
[00:15:25] forces continue enforcing naval blockade on Saudi shipping, a
[00:15:28] maritime tracking services reported a sharp drop in shipping
[00:15:32] traffic through the Bob Almandip straight. The report by Kepler
[00:15:36] said only one come off. vessel cross the babal mandab on Wednesday down
[00:15:40] from 20,
[00:15:41] the previous day, it said average of 41 ships cross the
[00:15:44] strategic waterway each day in the week before the naval blockade was
[00:15:48] announced. The report comes following Yemen's armed forces spokesperson
[00:15:52] announcing on Wednesday that the country's forces have targeted eight Saudi
[00:15:56] oil tankers since the blockade began on July the
[00:15:59] 22nd. He added that 29 Saudi oil tankers have been
[00:16:03] prevented from proceeding and forced to turn.
[00:16:07] back in the Red Sea and the Arabian sea. Yemen has been under
[00:16:11] decade long blockade by Saudi Arabia following years of war and the
[00:16:15] tentative truce. The situation escalated again after a Saudi attack
[00:16:19] on Sanno International Airport. Since then, Yemen has been implementing a
[00:16:23] blockade for blockade policy on
[00:16:25] Riyadh.
[00:16:29] Political commentator Hussen. He says the Yemini Army's blockade on Saudi
[00:16:33] vessels has significantly affected the country's oil exports.
[00:16:40] after the closure the hormos straight because
[00:16:43] the aggression from the zin
[00:16:45] and the United States, Saudi has moved all the oil from the
[00:16:49] Persian golf through pipeline uh toward Yambor north
[00:16:53] the rid sea so the Saudis when they would transfer their oil and exporting their
[00:16:57] oil through Yambor in the red sea they will making a huge
[00:17:00] profit uh but at that time when Yemen has announced
[00:17:04] that they will form a blookaid against Saudi Arabia before that they have. wasted
[00:17:07] Saudi implement the truth, implement the agreement that was signed in
[00:17:11] 2022, but the Saudi has been so ignorant, but then when
[00:17:15] yemen have blocked the red sea, they were
[00:17:19] targeting ships in the south the red sea
[00:17:22] going to toward mandab, but still saudi will braging out
[00:17:26] loud and saying that is still working and they and it
[00:17:30] doesn't affect them and
[00:17:31] they are using the swiss canal or the so callalled
[00:17:35] sumit pipeline in Egypt. which connect north the red sea
[00:17:39] to the Mediterranean sea, that's why we've seen that in the last 40 hour,
[00:17:42] 48 hours, yemani army has launched a missile
[00:17:46] attack against a Saudi oil tanker that was in the north
[00:17:50] the red sea going from Yamber towards Swiss canal and this is the first time that
[00:17:54] Yemani has done so and the spoke person of Yemani army have said
[00:17:57] clearly now we are gonna target all ships in the north the
[00:18:01] recy so Saudi will not be able to bypass the Babel mandab
[00:18:05] through the the Swiss canal.
[00:18:09] Japan is marking 81 years since the United States dropped a nuclear bomb
[00:18:13] on Hiroshima leaving some 150,00 people that government officials
[00:18:17] and delegates from many countries have attended the memorial ceremony to show
[00:18:21] respect to the victims the
[00:18:30] of World War II in 1945, US Army Air
[00:18:33] Force preparing to drop the 4000 kg uranium bomb.
[00:18:37] code-named little boy on the Japanese city of Hiroshima and the morning of
[00:18:41] August 6th turned into a time of tragedy the world will never
[00:18:44] forget, when the little boy was dropped on the city, 70,000
[00:18:48] people were incinerated immediately, another 70,00 died of
[00:18:52] injuries and radiation exposure in the following years. The US
[00:18:56] dropped a second atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki just few days
[00:19:00] later, right a time when news the first catastrophe were
[00:19:03] surfacing. That second attack took the lives of 70,00 more
[00:19:07] people.
[00:19:13] 81 years on, the Japanese nation is still grieving,
[00:19:17] thousands including aging survivors, relatives and government
[00:19:20] officials attended the annual ceremony at Hiroshima Peace Memorial
[00:19:24] Park. Speaking at the ceremony, Japanese prime minister said the
[00:19:28] lessons of Hiroshima must not be forgotten. Hiroshima, the
[00:19:31] devastation rot by the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and
[00:19:35] the unspeakable suffering indoor. by so many must never be repeated,
[00:19:39] our nation firmly upholds the three non-nuclear principles, and as
[00:19:43] the world's only country to have suffered atomic bombings in war, bears the
[00:19:47] mission of tirelessly continuing efforts toward the realization of a world
[00:19:51] without nuclear weapons. the Japanese are hoping for a
[00:19:55] world free from nuclear weapons so that other people will have to go through
[00:19:58] similar tragedy, but a world where nuclear states are spending hundreds of
[00:20:02] billions of dollars to upgrade their atomic arsenals, that appears to be a
[00:20:06] far-fetched with. "the United States is the only country that ever
[00:20:10] used nuclear weapons against its enemy, and after all these years it
[00:20:14] was never held accountable for the deaths and destruction it caused to
[00:20:17] Japan, and Iran
[00:20:21] has become a member the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation
[00:20:25] Organization, the membership grants Iran entry into global government structure
[00:20:29] independent of western influence, while also providing access to the
[00:20:33] organization's resources for training, research and standard
[00:20:36] setting. from Beijing
[00:20:44] goal for Iran, which aims to be top 10 global player by
[00:20:48] 2032,
[00:21:20] big data and scientific computing, Iran developed
[00:21:24] seamor supercomputer at Amerika the University of Technology, one of
[00:21:27] its most significant heavy processing projects, both
[00:21:31] Amir Khabi University and Sharif University's AI
[00:21:34] center have previously been targeted by US and
[00:21:38] Israel during the Ramazan war. now Iran is
[00:21:41] expanding its capabilities and joining Byco to
[00:21:45] depend its infrastructure and framing AI as a
[00:21:49] tool.
[00:22:10] AI is currently considered one the most important, effective and
[00:22:13] efficient technologies, AI can truly play a role in every
[00:22:17] imaginable field, an organization with the same name. was launched by the United
[00:22:21] States and western countries, however, this organization launched here can be more
[00:22:25] effective and better for us in terms of participation. The Shanghai
[00:22:28] Cooperation Organization, Bricks and now the artificial intelligence
[00:22:32] organization are institutions that somehow encompass all the countries the global
[00:22:36] south. Given China's approach in this field, I am confident that this is
[00:22:40] very good opportunity for us too, and it can play a better role across
[00:22:44] different fields. Viko is the world's first
[00:22:47] intergovernmental international organization. that
[00:22:50] dedicated itself to artificial intelligence, it has
[00:22:54] been created to foster cooperation and capacity
[00:22:57] building, promote AI applications and open
[00:23:00] ecosystems and build a just global
[00:23:04] AI governance system. China
[00:23:08] proposes that artificial intelligence should be used for good and for
[00:23:11] progress, serving all countries and all of mankind. The
[00:23:15] US, on the other hand, applies it in many ways to control the
[00:23:18] world, treating it as a platform for dominance and increasingly
[00:23:22] applying it to the military field. China is responding
[00:23:25] comprehensively in this regard. Waco has been established to use
[00:23:29] artificial intelligence to serve all of humanity so that everyone can derive
[00:23:33] greater benefits from it. In this context, China has joined with
[00:23:37] Iran and many other countries to establish an artificial intelligence
[00:23:40] cooperation organization, aiming to promote the application of AI
[00:23:44] technology for all of humanity. Iran's martyr
[00:23:47] leader Ali Khamenei insis. said that Iran must produce
[00:23:51] AI and not just consume it, he warned against any power
[00:23:55] imposing its will. With this vico membership, Iran joins
[00:23:59] a global south platform where every nation has a voice,
[00:24:03] that's sovereignty
[00:24:37] crisis, devastating wars,
[00:24:41] terrorism, the Israely
[00:24:44] lobby,
[00:24:47] crackdown,
[00:24:52] Diplomacy:
[00:24:57] new arrangements for safe hormos
[00:24:59] shipping.
[00:25:14] Very deep within the US house armed services committee's massive
[00:25:18] 1.15. billion dollar fiscal year
[00:25:21] 2027 national defense authorization act
[00:25:25] draft lies a provision that signals more than routine
[00:25:29] military cooperation with Israel, it signals a
[00:25:33] structural entanglement. section 2:24, as it
[00:25:36] is identified has now spark debate. it reflects a
[00:25:40] deeper shift in the longstanding US and Israel's so-called
[00:25:44] security relationship, and it is moving it from
[00:25:48] partnership into. normalized institutional
[00:25:51] coordination at the military level, and hey, it
[00:25:55] also comes a moment when the American public burned by an
[00:25:58] unprovoked and illegal war against Iran once less in
[00:26:02] entanglement in Tel Aviv's wars, not more, yet
[00:26:06] section 224 delivers the exact opposite,
[00:26:10] report suggests the provision would require the designation of
[00:26:13] dedicated pentagon executive agent to coordinate
[00:26:17] expanded cooperation with the Israeli military
[00:26:20] establishment covering research, development,
[00:26:24] procurement and advanced systems integration. The
[00:26:28] US and Israel may say this is just a joint innovation in
[00:26:31] artificial. intelligence, cyber warfare, quantum
[00:26:35] computing and next generation war technologies, but
[00:26:38] beneath this technical language lies a far more
[00:26:42] consequential reality, one in which intelligence sharing,
[00:26:45] data systems and military infrastructure become
[00:26:49] increasingly intervaven, structurally
[00:26:52] insulated from public accountability. Classified
[00:26:56] intelligence gathered by US military assets paid for the
[00:26:59] American taxpayer dollars could now be directly
[00:27:03] funneled into Israeli military systems through data
[00:27:07] fusion or the so-called network integration. By the
[00:27:11] way, this is already happening, but a lower scale. Can you
[00:27:14] imagine what could happen a larger scale? It would deepen
[00:27:18] real-time operational coordination between the two militaries
[00:27:22] raising questions about overside accountability and the
[00:27:26] traditional bandaries between foreign military
[00:27:29] assistance and joint development. The provision
[00:27:33] also appears to expand industrial cooperation,
[00:27:36] potentially increasing co-production of weapons
[00:27:40] systems within the United States itself, further
[00:27:44] embedding the relationship into domestic weapons supply
[00:27:47] chains. The asymmetric deterrance doctrine of
[00:27:51] Tehran and the entire axis of resistance has
[00:27:54] always rested on the reality that the United States and
[00:27:58] Israel are in practice a single joint actor.
[00:28:02] Section 224 now gives legal and institutional
[00:28:06] form to an operational reality that already existed,
[00:28:10] but the world did not want to
[00:28:11] say.
[00:28:57] The early hours of July 29th shattered the region's
[00:29:01] uneasy calm. Ballistic missiles
[00:29:05] launched by the aerospace force of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard
[00:29:09] Core streaked across the night sky toward the US Air Force
[00:29:13] Space and Central Command headquarters in
[00:29:15] Jordan. At the same time the IRGC
[00:29:19] Navy announced that it had seized three non-complint oil
[00:29:23] tankers in the straight of hormos tightening Iran's grip over
[00:29:27] one the world's most strategic
[00:29:29] waterways. The core. originated
[00:29:33] operations student decision makers in both Washington and Tel
[00:29:36] Aviv. US President Donald Trump admitted
[00:29:40] that Iran's attack had come as a surprise and immediately
[00:29:44] threatened a massive assault on Iranian
[00:29:46] infrastructure. Yet as the region
[00:29:50] braced for another major escalation, Trump abruptly
[00:29:53] reversed course. Just days later, he announced
[00:29:57] that the planned operation had been cancelled, claiming that the outlines of a
[00:30:01] possible agreement. had
[00:30:03] emerged.
[00:30:35] Donald Trump declared that the United States was locked and loaded and
[00:30:38] prepared to unleash military power not seen since World War
[00:30:42] II, but said the attack had been suspended because Iran and
[00:30:46] several regional states had asked Washington to wait while
[00:30:50] negotiations
[00:30:51] continued.
[00:30:58] Tehran flatly.
