The Iranian president says Tehron took reciprocal action after the [00:00:40] of US violated the Mou, stressing that the Islamic Republic will [00:00:43] continue to defend its interests white pursuing [00:00:47] of diplomacy [00:00:54] a and the Islamic sorry the [00:00:58] of regime has launched new at on southern Lebanon despite a sease fire [00:01:02] deal with [00:01:03] of the Arab [00:01:03] country. [00:01:08] of in [00:01:20] It's half past 11 pm here in the Iranian capital, Tehran, [00:01:23] welcome. The secretary of Iran's Supreme National [00:01:27] Security Council says the [00:01:28] a straight of removes will not. open until the US [00:01:31] correctts behavior. [00:01:33] a Mohammed baqir Zulqad said [00:01:35] of Washington must stop threatening Iran and refrain from, [00:01:39] insulting the sacred beliefs [00:01:41] of the nation. He said the US must permanently end [00:01:44] aggression against Iran and its allies in Lebanon, [00:01:48] Palestine, Yemen and Iraq. The top security [00:01:51] official also demanded the lifting [00:01:53] of the naval blockade, withdrawal [00:01:56] of the US military forces from around Iran and removal. [00:02:00] the unjust and illegal sanctions on the country, [00:02:04] the statement further listed full compensation for the damage [00:02:08] caused to Iran by the two imposed wars [00:02:11] of and also the unconditional release of Tehran's frozen [00:02:15] assets. Zulqadr noted that these measures reflect the [00:02:18] demands voiced by the Iranian [00:02:20] of people in the nightly rallies and stressed [00:02:23] of that the Supreme National [00:02:25] من Security Council will not back down whether in war or in [00:02:29] negotiation. [00:02:36] "Iran's foreign minister says closed to an agreement with oman [00:02:40] a new maritime transit route through the straight of removes with [00:02:43] negotiations between the two countries [00:02:46] underway. [00:02:48] of talks with oman are regarding the legal framework and management [00:02:51] of the waterway, specifically about determining a [00:02:55] transit [00:02:56] of route. he noted that the previous traffic separation scheme is" [00:03:00] no longer acceptable to Tehran and that given the [00:03:04] a technical and legal [00:03:05] of complexities, a temporary route will be established [00:03:09] for now as the basis for a permanent [00:03:12] arrangement. Arakshi however emphasized that the reopening [00:03:15] of the straight was contingent on other conditions, [00:03:19] including the United States, remedying its violations [00:03:22] of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding. [00:03:26] The foreign minister pointed out that Washington was seeking to [00:03:30] establish new roots in the straight and undermine Iran's [00:03:34] management and violation [00:03:35] of the MOU, warning that [00:03:37] it is in no way [00:03:38] acceptable. [00:03:46] The spokesperson [00:03:47] of the Islamic Revolution Guards Core has outlined Iran's stance on the straight [00:03:51] of removes saying the waterway will be reopened provided that the [00:03:55] US accepts Iran's [00:03:59] of conditions. [00:04:17] in [00:04:30] accept of arounds of of conditions to reopen the straight of hormas and must stop [00:04:33] interfering in the negotiations between Iran, Oman and other [00:04:37] countries, which are at their conclusion, whenever the [00:04:41] of enemy accepts surrounds conditions, the strike will definitely be [00:04:44] reopened. [00:04:49] The Iranian army spokesperson has also warned that the United States has [00:04:53] no choice but to accept the current situation in the strike of [00:04:57] hermus, or it will face far heavier. costs than [00:05:01] before, brigidier general said the Iranian order [00:05:04] in the straight is irreversible and the arm forces will [00:05:08] continue to stand firm until this control is fully consolidated. [00:05:13] he emphasized that the armed forces have both the will and [00:05:16] defensive capability to maintain this control. he also [00:05:20] added that Iran's resistance against the US has [00:05:23] elevated the country standing among free nations [00:05:27] and Iranians are now known worldwide as resilient and [00:05:31] courageous [00:05:32] people. [00:05:43] The Iranian president says Tehran took reciprocal [00:05:46] action after the US violated the Mou, stressing [00:05:50] that the Islamic Republic will continue to defend its interests while [00:05:54] pursuing diplomacy. In a press conference, marking [00:05:57] journalist day, Masud Pesishiyan said the memorandum of [00:06:01] understanding did not involve any concessions by Iran [00:06:05] or any withdrawal from the country's national [00:06:08] interests. The Iranian president said that under the agreement. [00:06:12] "the parties were expected to operate based on [00:06:15] guidelines jointly prepared by Oman and Iran for [00:06:19] managing issues related to the straight of removes. However, he [00:06:23] said the other side failed to follow those [00:06:26] arrangements. Pesishgan also said dialogue has not [00:06:30] altered Tehran's longstanding position toward Washington [00:06:34] and Iran still believes that the US government is a [00:06:37] colonialist and a criminal [00:06:39] entity." " [00:06:54] Academic and political analyst Hakim Saqiria joined us [00:06:58] earlier from Tehran to give us her latest thoughts [00:07:02] on the Iranian president's [00:07:03] remarks. [00:07:08] Iran has never been and is is not going. [00:07:12] to be ready to capitulate, and of course the United States [00:07:16] is learning that the hard way, it could [00:07:20] basically abide by the by its part [00:07:23] the mou, it could [00:07:27] respect Iranian sovereignty, Iran is [00:07:31] resilient, has shown that [00:07:32] it is, you know, serious [00:07:36] about its safeguarding [00:07:40] of Iran's national interests, the... United States has tried [00:07:44] in the past decades after the [00:07:48] second world war to create kind of [00:07:51] hybrid system of domination in this region with the [00:07:55] Islamic Revolution Iran actually started [00:07:59] path of creating a hybrid system of [00:08:02] resistance, part of which [00:08:05] was [00:08:07] you know trying to create the grounds [00:08:10] for basically riding this [00:08:12] you of know foreign interference, Iran has [00:08:16] shown it that [00:08:19] is you know [00:08:20] it's able to use the the leverage that [00:08:24] is its disposal, [00:08:26] including the straight of hormos, you know, [00:08:30] and that has very much elevated Iran's stance [00:08:34] with regard to its ability to [00:08:37] resist United States aggression, its ability to [00:08:41] resist United. states coersive diplomacy [00:08:44] and of course we have to wait and [00:08:47] see whether the United States is going to change this [00:08:50] behavior. [00:08:54] deputy commander of Iran's khatam central headquarters [00:08:58] general Mohammad Jafar Asadi has warned the US against [00:09:02] launching a ground invasion. In an interview with Press TV he [00:09:06] says the armed forces are fully ready to counter any [00:09:09] threats. [00:09:22] Israel should listen to the words of our commanders. Martter Sulaymani addressed [00:09:26] Iran's enemies and said, you start the war, but its [00:09:30] end is in our hands. The same holds true [00:09:33] today. Last week, when I visited Iran's [00:09:36] islands, I saw that our forces are waiting for the day when [00:09:40] America commits this mistake and... launches a ground [00:09:43] operation against us, and that day we will put these [00:09:47] American captives on display. Today, by the [00:09:51] grace of God, no one fears Trump any longer, not [00:09:54] even the young children. Now you see them come out [00:09:58] into the streets, holding the Iranian flag in their hands and [00:10:02] sending message to Trump. Well, Trump wanted the Iranian [00:10:06] people to fear him and surrender. According to the words of our [00:10:09] martered imam, in Iran, if only. [00:10:25] our missiles are better than before, you can see the [00:10:28] evidence, whatever we decide, we strike [00:10:31] immediately, even if vissle on the sea sot to [00:10:35] act on America's orders, we issued a warning and turned [00:10:38] it [00:10:39] back. [00:10:43] In Sirick, one the hardest hit cities in Iran's [00:10:46] hormosgon province, attacks by the US on the civilian [00:10:50] infrastructure left thousands without access to water after key [00:10:54] reservoor. was destroyed and another one was [00:10:57] damaged, local emergency and crisis management teams [00:11:01] responded swiftly, restoring the water network and [00:11:04] reconnecting around 20,000 residents reflecting the city's [00:11:08] determination to recover despite the attacks. Moin [00:11:12] amini has more in this [00:11:13] report. [00:11:18] Sirik, city in Iran's southern province of [00:11:21] Urmusgan, along the shores the Persian Gulf. [00:11:25] ranking among the places that endured some the most devastating [00:11:29] US attacks, including the destruction of water reservoir [00:11:33] a city where access to water remains a critical [00:11:36] issue, directly striking the lives, health and [00:11:39] wellbeing of its [00:11:40] residents. during the enemy's [00:11:44] attacks on Syrick civilian infrastructure, the city's water [00:11:47] reservoirs came under direct attack twice. one reservoir was [00:11:51] completely destroyed while the other sustained damage and was put out of [00:11:55] service, but this is Iran. Siric embodies [00:11:59] the spirit of Iran, the spirit that knows no surrender. [00:12:03] It has endured the enemy's fire in pursuit of freedom and independence, [00:12:07] risen to its feet after every blow, and continued to press [00:12:10] forward. Cyric's emergency [00:12:14] response and crisis management teams moved into action immediately, [00:12:18] taking the necessary measures to restore the city's water supply and [00:12:21] reconnect around 20,00 residents who had been affected. [00:12:42] In the eyes of Iranians, the targeting of Siric's water [00:12:46] reservoir has laid bear the true nature their contry's [00:12:49] enemies. The people of Sirick will indeed never be the same [00:12:53] again. For them, the... Homeland represents honor and [00:12:56] dignity and any violation of its soil is deeply [00:13:00] personal. They view freedom as value greater than life or [00:13:03] material possessions. Attacks on civilian [00:13:07] infrastructure and the deliberate targeting of people's lives and well [00:13:10] being have left an uglier image the US than ever [00:13:14] before in the minds of Iranians and people around the world. The [00:13:18] real question, however is whether international organizations and world [00:13:21] leaders will have the courage and integrity to condemn such a... [00:13:24] regime [00:13:32] continues attacks across southern Lebanon despite a so-called [00:13:36] cease [00:13:36] fire. [00:13:51] Artillery shelling targeted several districts and of venerate [00:13:55] entire district. homes were also demolished in the town [00:13:59] of Zahar al- Sharqan nabatie. This is [00:14:02] why Israely occupation forces advanced toward area on the outskirts [00:14:06] of Kifar Shuba. Meanwile Israely Army radio reported [00:14:10] that a soldier from the 600 and seventh [00:14:14] engineering battalion was wounded by [00:14:16] Shrapno from friendly fire and [00:14:19] Nabati. Is media also reported a soldier who [00:14:23] was moderately injured. an operational accident in [00:14:27] southern Lebanon. These violations are ongoing despite a [00:14:31] US mediated framework, agreement that [00:14:34] was signed between Lebanon and Israel in late June, requiring [00:14:38] a phased Israel [00:14:39] withdraw. [00:14:47] Academic and political commentator says the [00:14:51] Lebanese government would have achieved a lot. [00:14:55] more if it back the resistance instead of holding direct talks [00:14:58] with this [00:14:59] regime. [00:15:05] I would say that the Israelis never respect any kind of [00:15:09] commitment, commitments about [00:15:12] the seasfire in spite of all the the [00:15:16] promises from the Americans to to the Lebanese authority, [00:15:20] but also the Americans, they could not dare to talk to the [00:15:24] Israelis. to stop their violations, not only [00:15:27] violations, they are demolishing everything, so the [00:15:30] Lebanese, the Lebanese authorities who are talking to [00:15:34] the Israelies directly, I guess they have... [00:15:37] been bluffed and fooled, if we don't say more [00:15:41] than that, they are conspiring against the the [00:15:45] resistance and the people, the the people in the south, [00:15:49] so we are talking here about a situation that unsettled [00:15:52] situation that the Israelis they are violating, the libanese [00:15:56] authorities are trying to to appease the Israelis, [00:15:59] they think that and the American, they think that they can get [00:16:03] something for them, but I guess they they are going... to [00:16:07] no aware, so we are talking here about a [00:16:10] mess left by these talks, direct talks with the [00:16:14] Israelies, if the authorities have lied [00:16:18] or tried to to cooperate with the [00:16:21] resistance and with the people, the libanese people, guess they [00:16:25] they would have achieved a [00:16:27] lot. [00:16:30] goes children once cheered when a cease fire with israel [00:16:34] regime came into effect back in october. last year, [00:16:38] they hoped that the war had finally come to an end, but nearly [00:16:42] 10 months after the announcement, residents say the attacks continue a [00:16:46] daily basis with UNICEF saying that at least 300 [00:16:50] children have been killed since the [00:16:51] ceasefire. [00:16:57] when the seas fire was announced in Gaza in October [00:17:00] 2025, a children like Jamal briefly dured to [00:17:04] believe that the killing was finally over. they [00:17:08] cheered at the news, imagining quiet nights and return to the [00:17:12] ordinary life for childhood, but war for gazas a [00:17:15] children had not truly [00:17:17] ended. i first got injured [00:17:21] while trying to bring food for my family from the aid distribution [00:17:24] center, but while was in hospital i knew my father was [00:17:28] murtered. since then i became responsible for my [00:17:31] siblings. now i have four different injuries from separate [00:17:35] attacks across my body. i don't feel like a child [00:17:38] anymore, according to Uniceive, 300 [00:17:42] children had been killed in gaza since the seasfire was [00:17:45] announced, roughly one child every [00:17:48] day, hundreds more have been injured, behind every [00:17:52] number is not only a child, but also [00:17:55] family's life had changed forever, [00:17:59] ahmed was 9ine years old when he was killed in attack on our [00:18:03] home, he was a unique and smart child who memorized [00:18:07] all on, I can't believe that he is gone forever. What is the [00:18:11] guilt of a child like Ahmed to deserve death? Life can never [00:18:14] continue normally when one loses their own son. [00:18:18] Across Gaza, children continue to live with the consequences of [00:18:22] a war that has killed, wounded, displaced and orphand [00:18:26] them. Some carry physical scars, others carry the [00:18:30] quiet wounds of losing parents, siblings and homes [00:18:34] and the sense of safety, every child deserves. [00:18:40] Unices report represents reminder to the world the continuous war [00:18:44] children in Gaza are enduring until this day. This is [00:18:47] humanitarian catastrophe. Every day since the cease fire [00:18:51] started, a child is killed, and add to this, that all the promises [00:18:54] of relief and safety, children expected to come with ceasefire are [00:18:58] not fulfilled. The world and the mediators may call it [00:19:02] sess fire, but in reality, for children like Jamal, it is [00:19:06] difficult to call it. peace when another child can still be [00:19:10] killed before the day is over. for god's [00:19:13] children, the announce is fire was supposed to mark the [00:19:17] beginning of peace, but as peace is not simply reach with [00:19:21] announcements, it has become another chapter [00:19:25] of lost, empfier rahim for press tv, [00:19:29] gaza city, [00:19:30] palestine. [00:19:34] as temperature sore and the war ravage goes astriped. Summer heat [00:19:38] is adding another layer of suffering to the Palestinians [00:19:41] living in makeshift tense, no access to [00:19:44] electricity and limited access to water has exacerbated the [00:19:48] already dire humanitarian situation there. Let's take a [00:19:52] listen to what Gozen have to [00:19:53] say. [00:19:58] We are suffering terribly. [00:20:01] We have been living in the streets. All the basic necessities of life in [00:20:05] Gaza have disappeared. As you can see. see, [00:20:08] we are sitting under pieces of cloth with the sun very close to us and we [00:20:12] cannot bear it. [00:20:13] i have heart condition, and most people in Gaza have developed [00:20:17] heart problems because the suffering we [00:20:19] are living through. we are exhausted and cannot bear the heat. [00:20:23] all [00:20:23] day long, we use this piece of cardboard. there is no electricity, not [00:20:27] even a place to protect us from the heat, and sometimes we do [00:20:30] not even get water. we are suffering terribly. how long will [00:20:34] life remain like this? [00:20:50] The situation is tragic. We cannot [00:20:52] sleep. We go outside the tent at night to cool [00:20:56] down, and in the morning we cannot sleep outside the tent because there are [00:20:59] rodens. [00:21:05] Yemen's ministry of transport has renewed calls for [00:21:09] international accountability over the closure of San Az international [00:21:12] airport, during a pressure and sun are marking [00:21:15] decade of er restrictions caused by the blockade of. [00:21:20] Officials presented an update of casualty figures warning that [00:21:23] the sage remains a weapon against millions of yemenis. Press [00:21:27] TVs Yahya, [00:21:28] our correspondent in Sana report on [00:21:31] this. [00:21:35] What we gone with the war announcement from Washington DC in March [00:21:38] 2015, escalated into a full-scale air blockade on 8th of [00:21:42] August 2016, when Saudi Ministry of Defense announced the [00:21:46] temporary three-day suspension of a flight to. from Sangha [00:21:50] airport that three-day order stretched into years even [00:21:54] after a 2022 UN broker the truth commercial [00:21:58] operations remained severely resurrected to a single [00:22:01] destination, leaving millions isolated from the outside [00:22:05] world. Documented statistics indicate the [00:22:09] death of more than 80,00 patients in just 4 and a half years, [00:22:13] including the death of 28 thousand cancer patients, while 37 [00:22:16] patients pass away every day as result of travel bands. or a shortage [00:22:20] of medicine, it is criminalized under article [00:22:24] 33 the fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 [00:22:28] regarding the protection of civilians. This blockate [00:22:32] also constitutes a blatant violation of international [00:22:35] humanitarian law and the international covenant on economic, [00:22:39] social and cultural rights. Experts argue this ongoing sie has [00:22:43] presisted due to political immunity. In 2016, [00:22:47] then UN secretary general Bankimon openly. admitted that [00:22:50] Saudi Arabia exerted any fielding financial [00:22:54] pressure to remove the kingdom from a UN blacklist of a child [00:22:58] killers that impunity extended directly to the [00:23:02] Tarmaac. Even regarding international [00:23:05] resolutions, the coalition of aggression used to target the [00:23:09] airport in the presence the UN envoy. There were targets directed [00:23:13] at UN staff and UN aircraft to the extent that some UN plan [00:23:17] planes were subjected to piracy as the airport. marks decade [00:23:20] under air restrictions, local transport authorities insist that [00:23:24] the international community can no longer turn a blind eye [00:23:28] to what they classify as a continuous war [00:23:31] crime. we also call upon the [00:23:35] international civil organization, the UN security council and human [00:23:39] rights organizations to issue an explicit and clear condemnation of this [00:23:43] illegal decision and to hold the Saudi side fully responsible along with [00:23:47] all legal, moral and financial consequences. Despite [00:23:50] rebuted calls from Sunhar to lift decision and advance peace, [00:23:54] Saudi Arabia continues to defy demands to reopen [00:23:58] the skies. Standing here at airport, officials impathize [00:24:02] that restricting these runways isn't just aviation issue. [00:24:06] It remains a daily strangle hold Yemen's access to vital goods and [00:24:10] medical [00:24:10] care. [00:24:16] That's all for now, thank you for being with us and bye-bye. [00:24:40] They call themselves Ansarula or the supporters of God and [00:24:44] regard confronting American and Israeli aggression and domination in the region [00:24:48] as one their principal. objectives. They are among the most [00:24:52] courageous fighters of our time, men who face bombardment and [00:24:56] death, yet refuse to retreat even a single step from their beliefs [00:25:00] and their path of resistance. For years, they have fought [00:25:03] Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in defense of [00:25:07] Yemen, a war backed by American military [00:25:10] support. They have resisted every attempt to force their country into [00:25:14] submission, and in support the people of Gaza, have [00:25:18] repeatedly struck Israeli targets. nearly 2,000 kilometers [00:25:21] away. On July 13th, 2026, [00:25:25] Saudi Arabia bombed the runway at Sanaah International Airport [00:25:29] an attempt to prevent an Iranian aircraft from landing. [00:25:33] Ansarula declared that Riyad had ended the period of [00:25:36] deescalation and promised immediate response. [00:25:39] Within hours, Saudi airports including Aba international airport [00:25:43] came under attack. This was nothing [00:25:46] new. The Yemini Resistance movement has repeatedly. demonstrated [00:25:50] its ability to reach deep inside Saudi Arabia. [00:25:54] In September 2019, its drone strike on [00:25:57] the oil facilities exposed the [00:26:01] vulnerability of Saudi Araak. despite billions of dollars worth of [00:26:04] American-made air defense systems, now the resistance [00:26:08] movement warns that any new attack on Yemen's infrastructure could bring [00:26:12] even more strategic targets into range, including the vital oil [00:26:16] facilities at yanbu. Today, more than 70% [00:26:20] of Saudi oil exports bypass the straight of Hormus through pipelines to [00:26:24] Yanbu on the Red Sea, but from there they must still pass [00:26:28] through the Bob Almandab straight. If that route is [00:26:31] closed. Arabia's alternative export corridor [00:26:34] disappears. Ansarula has already shown it can disrupt one the [00:26:38] world's busiest maritime choke points. Since the outbreak the [00:26:42] Gaza War in 2023, it has launched attacks in the Red [00:26:46] Sea, declaring that it would target vessels linked to Israel in [00:26:49] support the Palestinians. The Red Sea [00:26:53] operations have forced major shipping companies to re-root around Southern [00:26:57] Africa, increased global transport costs and pushed [00:27:00] Israel's southern port of island. the brink of [00:27:03] collapse. If both the straight of Hormus and Bob [00:27:07] Almandab were closed at the same time, nearly a quarter the world's [00:27:11] oil and gas supply and almost 1/3ird of global container [00:27:14] traffic could be affected. Oil prices could sore toward [00:27:18] 200 per barrel, while Europe's energy security would face [00:27:22] severe pressure. For Ansarula, Yemen is [00:27:25] not merely another battlefield, is a strategic front with the [00:27:29] power to reshape the global economy. [00:28:04] اكبر خطا وقع فيه التحالف اولا استخدام [00:28:08] اساليب الرعب [00:28:09] والتهديده [00:28:20] وهنا استطاعت التجربه اليمنيه من خلال مراكمه الخبره ومع وجود [00:28:24] الاراده ومع وجود المشروع التحروي ان تخلق [00:28:27] اللا شيء [00:28:28] شيء. [00:28:39] Iran had warned if war begins, this time it will not remain within Iran's [00:28:43] borders. Washington did not take Tiran's warnings seriously, but followed was a [00:28:47] widening battlefield, Israel and US bases in Saudi [00:28:51] Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait [00:28:55] came under attack. The war began in the skies, but soon reached the veins the [00:28:58] economy, then Tairan issued its next warning, if Iran's in [00:29:02] infrastructure is targeted, your infrastructure will be targeted as well, and the [00:29:06] world quickly understood that even silence and neutrality in this war could carry heavy [00:29:10] price, but Iran's next warning is even more [00:29:13] consequential. The war could become extra [00:29:16] regional. No official evidence says that all recent incidents [00:29:20] are connected, but this is where the central question begins. When Iran [00:29:24] speaks of an extra regional war, does it only mean an [00:29:28] expansion of geography, or does it refer to a chain of energy [00:29:31] routes? ports, military bases, markets and the global [00:29:35] economy. United States once ignored Iran's warning about the [00:29:38] regionalization of war, and it is still dealing with the [00:29:41] costs. [00:29:42] now the question is, if Washington ignores the warning of an extra regional war [00:29:46] this time as well, will it be able to pay the [00:29:49] price? [00:30:21] Hello everyone, July 30th, 2024 [00:30:25] marks the marturdum of one of Hezballah's pioneers and one [00:30:29] the founders the resistance against Israeli. [00:30:32] occupation in Lebanon, Fuad Shukur was not only a [00:30:36] military commander in the resistance, Islamic resistance in [00:30:40] Lebanon, but he was also seen as the second man in [00:30:43] Hisbullah, especially after the martterdom [00:30:47] of Imad Mughnii, he was considered the main [00:30:50] military commander and someone who was inseparable from the [00:30:54] martter, former secretary general Said Hasan Nasrallah [00:30:58] and his marter.
