[00:01:40] of of the recent developments regarding hormos would

[00:01:46] the costs of unlawful use of force are not limited to the

[00:03:22] of Press TV's
[00:03:26] a correspondent Minini joined us in our Tehran studio to share his. experience in
[00:03:30] southern
[00:03:31] Iran,
[00:03:35] a perhaps the enemies of Iran need better
[00:03:39] understanding
[00:03:40] of of the people
[00:03:40] of the south, these are not the people who are going to lose hope or be
[00:03:44] discouraged by such attacks, they have lost people before, the
[00:03:48] of in are almost every family has a marty in its history,
[00:03:51] indeed, so this is not
[00:03:54] the something that is going to discourage them, the mother of Amir
[00:03:58] Muhammad, the four year old baby. 'who was marched in the attack
[00:04:02] on the wedding in cirik, her words
[00:04:04] of were amazing, but I don't know how to explain, she
[00:04:08] was the for first words
[00:04:10] of that came out of her mouth when I was having an interview with her was
[00:04:14] that we are going to continue,
[00:04:18] of that we are of going to uh keep up, that this is not something that going to bring me down, and
[00:04:22] if I had to bring, even if I had to bring all my
[00:04:25] children to resist opression, to resist
[00:04:29] aggression, to defend
[00:04:30] the country's territorial integrity and the country's independence, I would do
[00:04:34] so willingly and I would, I would hope that
[00:04:38] the leader
[00:04:39] of the revolution would accept
[00:04:41] of my uh my present, this is the kind of spirit that you see among
[00:04:45] the people
[00:04:49] a a of the south regardless of their faith or their religious background. Iran slams, the
[00:04:53] international atomic energy agency in Austria for denying a visa
[00:04:57] to the head of Iran's atomic energy organization. saying the
[00:05:00] move has no legal
[00:05:02] basis,
[00:05:06] is absolutely astonishing and indeed ironing that Austria, in
[00:05:10] order to justify it wrongful act.
[00:05:13] invokes resolutions that have been duly and
[00:05:16] legally terminated and or a
[00:05:20] non-existence committee the UN security council.
[00:05:23] Resolution 2231 expired on
[00:05:27] 18 October 2025 and accordingly all the UN
[00:05:31] restrictions against the Islamic Republic of Iran were
[00:05:34] permanently terminated. It is not merely an
[00:05:38] Iranian position,
[00:05:39] it is also the firm legal position of two permanent.
[00:05:42] members the security council as well as the countries the
[00:05:46] non movement, occasional move in New York in the name
[00:05:50] the so-called committee or ultravirus
[00:05:53] and constitute a blatant abuse the security council's
[00:05:57] procedures and authority by certain of its western
[00:06:00] members. such a committee has not been officially
[00:06:04] established nor has a single meeting of it being
[00:06:08] held since 2015. the
[00:06:12] sod legal arguments constitute a gross and indeed
[00:06:15] deliberate distortion the letter and spirit the
[00:06:18] headquarter agreement.
[00:06:22] Iran's ambassador to international organizations in Vienna
[00:06:26] Reza Najafi made the remarks at
[00:06:28] the opening the 70th IAEA's general
[00:06:32] conference, the US representative admitted that Washington
[00:06:35] opposed the travel exemption request for Muhammad
[00:06:39] Islami saying the rejection was made under UN
[00:06:43] sanctions committee rules and he said Austria's record in
[00:06:46] fulfilling its obligations as host country
[00:06:50] shows it lacks the confidence to hold such a
[00:06:53] position. He added that the visa was initially issued but
[00:06:57] then canceled under pressure, proving the legal
[00:07:01] justification was fabricated afterwards. Iran's envoy
[00:07:05] worn that using the agency to 18th with
[00:07:08] representatives from 181 member states attend.
[00:07:20] the spokesman and deputy the atomic energy organization of
[00:07:24] Iran
[00:07:28] and of course it cannot be interpreted anything
[00:07:32] else more than a type
[00:07:35] of childish behavior from the side of
[00:07:38] Americans, it is when when you are...
[00:07:42] preventing the head of delegation to come to
[00:07:46] participate in annual conference, it is of
[00:07:50] course misusing your
[00:07:52] political of course capacity in putting
[00:07:56] pressure on the housing country, of course the ausing
[00:08:00] country is responsible, we have somemon the charged
[00:08:03] affair the Austria in Tehran to
[00:08:07] explain why they have done so, and of
[00:08:10] course we are going to... continue this
[00:08:13] in other er other venues
[00:08:17] as well, so at the beginning the conference, they
[00:08:21] have taken flag, both Iran and Russia,
[00:08:25] and they have objected to the treatment the the
[00:08:29] hosting country has had, and they have explained
[00:08:33] why this is violation the
[00:08:35] regulation and the procedure
[00:08:39] which is supposed to be... served by
[00:08:43] the housing country, of course there is going to
[00:08:46] be a statement, the national
[00:08:50] statement which most probably agency headquarters in
[00:08:54] Vienna,
[00:08:59] Mr. Islami was a position of valid visa over a
[00:09:03] week before the start of this conference and it was due
[00:09:06] to American uh pressure that it was revoked and the
[00:09:10] American sides the they are not in
[00:09:15] this
[00:09:15] the the minister of energy the trump administration, his name is
[00:09:19] write this here in viena and he addressed the
[00:09:23] conference this morning, he then noon gave a press
[00:09:26] conference and the main topic both of his speech and
[00:09:30] the press conference was was
[00:09:33] Iran, they they are not denying that the
[00:09:36] pressure on the on Austria
[00:09:39] to revoke visa. and he
[00:09:43] also said we didn't want Iran to use the
[00:09:47] IAH conference as a platform for their propaganda, but in
[00:09:50] fact it is a right of each member state the
[00:09:54] atomic energy agency to address to attend
[00:09:58] this conference diplomatic
[00:09:59] is right uh it's a diplomatic obligation for Austria
[00:10:02] to uh to make
[00:10:06] this possible for all member state
[00:10:09] and since this morning
[00:10:12] in in statement in in in
[00:10:14] in in every speech, in every statement, we basically hear
[00:10:17] antiranian propaganda from the
[00:10:21] US side, this is what we are hearing now, so near...
[00:10:25] pressure and one must come to the conclusion that unfortunately 70 years
[00:10:29] after the founding the technical
[00:10:32] body, it turned into a political theater
[00:10:36] against
[00:10:37] Iran. Hussein
[00:10:41] Cheffy, member
[00:10:42] the workers party of Britain, has told us how the IAEa is
[00:10:46] functioning simply as instrument for the US and Zionist
[00:10:50] regime to punish Iran any possible
[00:10:52] way.
[00:10:55] "they have done nothing but work as a tool and
[00:10:59] instrument for for design a state for America, they
[00:11:03] have given up the lives or we've had the lives of
[00:11:06] our scientists taken away by these people who
[00:11:10] have offered uh the names and
[00:11:13] addresses of our team, our people
[00:11:17] who have been working on projects and
[00:11:21] they don't really care about atomic '
[00:11:25] what's it called a research or sciences or anything, they're really
[00:11:29] only interested implementing whatever
[00:11:31] it is the west wants to do, they're not interested in
[00:11:34] actually giving Iran the as a signed up member the
[00:11:37] NPT to have a chance to actually have
[00:11:41] nuclear electricity, nuclear
[00:11:45] energy, that all they're interested in is making sure that they can hinder
[00:11:49] Iran from being able to get any kind of
[00:11:52] nuclear uh capacity,
[00:11:54] and I'm not talking. about weaponry, I'm talking about being able to produce
[00:11:58] electricity, and I don't believe the IA is actually interested
[00:12:01] in helping us, they're there as a tool and instrument
[00:12:05] the west to punish us any way they can, to
[00:12:09] try and catch us out and to try and uh bring
[00:12:12] charges up against us for failing to do whatever
[00:12:16] it is that they want to do just so they can create an atmosphere of
[00:12:20] sanctions against us, that's what they're
[00:12:22] after. I've breaking
[00:12:26] news coming again, Iran's top security official has said there will
[00:12:30] be no negotiations with the US until Iran's
[00:12:33] conditions are met. Now in the province of
[00:12:37] Seestan and Baluchestan, a prominent sunni cleric has been
[00:12:40] assassinated. In attack the IRGC officials
[00:12:44] say was carried out by terrorist groups seeking to undermine
[00:12:47] Shiaan
[00:12:48] Unity. An
[00:12:51] influential figure in promoting unity between Shia and
[00:12:55] sunni communities and a well-respected
[00:12:57] cleric was murdered outside his home. the
[00:13:01] IRGC's gots headquarters says the assassination came after
[00:13:05] series of defeats inflected on terrorist cells in the
[00:13:09] province, including the dismanteling of several teams. it
[00:13:13] said terrorist groups carried out the killing as part of efforts to sew
[00:13:16] division and target figures to promote harmony between islamic
[00:13:20] sects.
[00:13:25] Yemany armed forces condemn fresh Saudi attacks vowing the aggression
[00:13:29] would not go unanswered. The spokesman birgedier general
[00:13:32] Yahyadi said Saudi Arabia carried out 54 air
[00:13:36] strikes across Taiz, Lahij, Aljaf, Marib
[00:13:39] and Hajja provinces over the past 24
[00:13:42] hours. Strikes involved F-15 and Typhoon
[00:13:46] fighter jets operating from Homis Mushed and Taif
[00:13:50] bases. Another Saudi airstrike killed two civilians
[00:13:54] and one after hitting a bridge in Taiz.
[00:13:58] Saudi war planes also conducted three rains on
[00:14:01] Al-Moka. This after Yemen's armed forces launched
[00:14:04] ballistic missiles and drones at King Khalid
[00:14:07] airbase. Ansarullah has also reported capturing more
[00:14:11] strategic islands in southern Red
[00:14:13] Sea. Yemani armed forces
[00:14:17] have made significant advances against Saudi backed mercenaries
[00:14:21] along Yemen's western coast over the past several days for more.
[00:14:25] and that
[00:14:25] we were earlier joined by press tv's Yahya
[00:14:27] alwazer
[00:14:33] uh regarding the liberation the west
[00:14:36] coast of Yemen, it's been reported
[00:14:40] that nearly about 500 the fighters of
[00:14:44] mercinaries uh were killed and about
[00:14:47] 1500 w were wonded in this
[00:14:51] operation that liberated the west coast of Yemen.
[00:14:55] uh also since Yemen Yemeni forces was
[00:14:58] able to liberate the west coast and
[00:15:02] gain control over all the west coast
[00:15:06] reaching to Babel Mandab, Saudi Arabia intensified
[00:15:09] its aggression and air strikes against Yemani governates,
[00:15:13] just in the past five days about 300 air
[00:15:17] strikes hit uh different provinces here Yemen,
[00:15:21] those airstrikes didn't just hit military targets al... also
[00:15:25] civilian targets including central prison
[00:15:29] in aljob governate that killed and wounded
[00:15:32] dozens regarding these aggression yemen
[00:15:36] armed forces hours ago launched a
[00:15:40] retaliatory strikes again against Saudi
[00:15:44] Arabia targeting Khamis
[00:15:47] al Musait king Khalid air pace by
[00:15:51] ballistic missiles and by
[00:15:53] drones saying it will
[00:15:56] continue uh the imposed uh the
[00:16:00] imposed equation siege for siege and
[00:16:03] escalation for escalation until Germany right
[00:16:08] states are reclaimed and met by Saudi
[00:16:11] Arabia. At
[00:16:14] least two palestinians have been killed in his rady attacks across Gaza. One
[00:16:18] Palestinian was killed in a strike a 10 north
[00:16:21] Afgananis and at least 10 were wounded in attack
[00:16:25] a makeshift camp near a hospital in Goza City. A
[00:16:29] Palestinin man was also killed in southern Gazas
[00:16:32] Almavazi. The health ministry has warned at fuel supplies
[00:16:36] to 13. health institutions will stop from
[00:16:40] September the 19th, which could hall surgeries,
[00:16:43] childbirth, services and care for the wounded, it
[00:16:47] called on international organizations to interven immediately,
[00:16:51] to death tholl from history genocide now stands at around
[00:16:54] 73,800.
[00:17:00] Hamasa sounded the alarm over a growing campaign by Israelity settlers to
[00:17:04] expand Jewish religious rituals inside the... locks a most
[00:17:08] compound in the occupied city of alqs. the resistance
[00:17:12] movement says the increasing visits, prayers and religious
[00:17:15] ceremonies conducted under is really police protection risk
[00:17:19] undermining the longstanding arrangements governing the holy
[00:17:23] site. hamas argues that the developments are
[00:17:27] gradual efforts to establish new religious and political
[00:17:31] reality at al-Aqsa. it urged Arab and
[00:17:34] Muslim governments, the UN and major international
[00:17:38] community to take action safeguard muslim's third holiest
[00:17:42] site. the sacred compound has remained a major flash point
[00:17:46] since Israel captured east alcuds in
[00:17:48] 1967 with palestinians repeatedly warning
[00:17:52] against changes to its status quo. meanwhile an Israely human
[00:17:56] rights group has warned that the regime is working to eliminate
[00:17:59] palestinian's presence from the west
[00:18:02] bank.
[00:18:09] For nearly three years, Israel has been systematically
[00:18:13] dismantaling the conditions for Palestinian collective
[00:18:16] existence in the west bank, while making Israel
[00:18:20] control and Jewish presence increasingly
[00:18:24] permanent. This is the elimination
[00:18:27] project. It identifies five main interconnected
[00:18:31] mechanism that are part the Israeli campaign in the west
[00:18:35] bank, violence and intimidation. ethnic
[00:18:38] cleansing and territorial takeover, movement
[00:18:41] restrictions, economic strunglation and
[00:18:45] social and political
[00:18:47] destruction.
[00:18:51] According to Batsalam, Israel is using military forces and
[00:18:55] armed settlers to embark on violence, fear and
[00:18:59] coersion across the occupied West Bank. The report says at
[00:19:02] least 1,107 Palestinians were killed
[00:19:06] between. October 2023 and September
[00:19:09] 2026 in his rudy attacks. The report also
[00:19:13] noted that armed settlers have taken control of around
[00:19:17] 18% the west bank as of July 2026.
[00:19:21] While isrody authorities continue to criminalize political
[00:19:24] organizing, suppress protests and arrest
[00:19:27] activists, students and journalists. According to the
[00:19:31] NGO, since there's already genocidal war in Gaza began, at
[00:19:35] least 60 Palestinian journalists. in the west bank have been
[00:19:38] detained, the rights group urged the international community
[00:19:42] to stop treating Israel's violations as isolated
[00:19:46] incidents and to stop
[00:19:48] complicity
[00:20:23] You may not know this, but there is city that
[00:20:27] keeps building metro while at
[00:20:29] war.
[00:20:48] If you follow the news, You've probably heard countless stories about
[00:20:52] conflict in the Middle East, missiles, air
[00:20:55] strikes, ceasefires, casualties, but there's
[00:20:59] another story that rarely makes the headlines. It's the
[00:21:03] story of city that keeps
[00:21:04] breathing, keeps moving
[00:21:08] forward and keeps growing even under
[00:21:11] fire.
[00:21:20] that refuses to let war define it and whose sense of
[00:21:23] dignity won't allow images of helplessness to become its
[00:21:26] identity. Let
[00:21:30] me introduce you to city where nearly 28 million daily
[00:21:34] journeys keep life
[00:21:35] moving.
[00:21:54] city of more than 10 million people, in less than
[00:21:58] 300 days, this city endured two major
[00:22:01] wars, during the second conflict in the winter and spring
[00:22:05] of 2026, more than 640
[00:22:08] locations were hit by missiles, rockets and
[00:22:11] drones. around 51,00 homes were
[00:22:15] damaged, yet more than 10,00 displaced residents
[00:22:19] were given free. accommodation in hotels for
[00:22:22] weeks. what may surprise you
[00:22:26] even more is what happened while the attacks were still
[00:22:28] ongoing as fighter jets remained
[00:22:31] overhead and the sound of explosions echoed across the
[00:22:35] city, 250 new electric taxis
[00:22:38] entered service, two new metro train sets were
[00:22:42] added to the underground network. public transport,
[00:22:46] both buses and the metro, became completely free from
[00:22:50] residents affected by the war, parks continued to
[00:22:53] bloom, streets were maintained,
[00:22:57] essential goods remained available, 50 meters beneath the
[00:23:00] ground, engineers and construction workers were designing
[00:23:04] new metro station in the historic city of Ray,
[00:23:08] inspired by Iran's early steam railway and generations of
[00:23:12] pilgrimage journeys. This is also a Muslim majority
[00:23:15] city that had previously opened a metro station named St.
[00:23:19] Mary. with distinctive architectural design
[00:23:23] that reflects respect for religious and cultural
[00:23:26] heritage, buildings, towers and
[00:23:30] neighborhoods were damaged, yet within hours the city's
[00:23:34] roads were operating again, with traffic moving
[00:23:37] instead
[00:23:38] of grinding
[00:23:38] to halt. even the rubble tells another story:
[00:23:42] construction waste has been recycled into concrete jersey barriers
[00:23:46] and protective planters that make streets safer.
[00:23:50] Electricity generated from waste to energy facilities continues
[00:23:54] to help power parts the city. This is the story of a middle
[00:23:58] eastern city whose famous nature bridge was publicly threatened
