[00:01:46] of maritime organization of that understanding. Pesishian
[00:01:50] of reiterated that it was not Iran that started the war, but the enemy

[00:01:58] leader, top
[00:01:59] of commanders, nuclear" scientists and ordinary people, including many
[00:02:03] children. He stress that Iran has only defended itself,

[00:02:10] enemy's actions. Elsewhere in his remarks,
[00:02:14] of
[00:02:14] a Pesishian said Ivan has no problem with regional countries, but has a
[00:02:18] problem with US bases in those countries which are used for
[00:02:22] aggression against Iran. The Iranian president noted that
[00:02:26] neighboring and friendly countries should
[00:02:28] not allow the enemies to use. use their territories to attack

[00:02:40] of slammed US president Donald Trump's contradictory
[00:02:43] of positions on negotiations with Ivan, implying that his
[00:02:47] remarks are aimed as swaying global energy prices.

[00:02:54] Mohsen Razi made the comment
[00:02:56] in a social media post. Razay said the world should not be
[00:03:00] distracted by the US president's mix
[00:03:04] a of signals from no negotiations to we're ready to talk, stressing that the stakes around oil
[00:03:08] and the straits have changed. Razi was alluding to Ivan's
[00:03:12] full control over the straight of Furmus and the Yemani army's control
[00:03:16] of the Barbalman
[00:03:17] in dep straight, both of which are vital energy export
[00:03:20] routes to
[00:03:21] a global markets. Razi stressed that there will be no
[00:03:25] talks until Iran's conditions are met and this position is
[00:03:29] of definitive. his comments came after Trump said the US is open
[00:03:33] to engaging with Iran a peace agreement. Trump's
[00:03:36] remarks contradicted his earlier statements in which he said
[00:03:40] talks between the US and Iran were neither
[00:03:43] in taking place nor scheduled alleging that the straight of
[00:03:46] of formus is
[00:03:47] open.
[00:03:52] The Islamic Revolution Gas Course Navy says a super tanker trying to
[00:03:56] cross the straight of Furmus through route not authorized by Iran.
[00:04:00] has exploded after colliding with naval mines, the

[00:04:10] through a prohibited route in the southern part
[00:04:13] of the straight when it collided with naval mines. The statement
[00:04:17] added that fire broke out on the ship following the explosion and
[00:04:21] efforts made to contain it have been futile causing the entire
[00:04:24] tanker to be engulfed in flames. The IOGC
[00:04:28] emphasized that a warning had previous been
[00:04:31] of issued regarding the dangerous nature of such illegal transit
[00:04:34] roots. the statements concluded by reaffirming that the strator
[00:04:38] for moves is closed and remains
[00:04:40] of under the
[00:04:41] of IRGC's smart
[00:04:42] control.
[00:04:47] press tv correspondent joined us earlier in our tehran
[00:04:50] studios to share his experience in southern evan while
[00:04:54] reporting on US crimes there. he says the enemies of
[00:04:58] Ivan do not have pr understanding
[00:05:00] of the scope
[00:05:02] a
[00:05:05] of of the people's resilience,
[00:05:07] perhaps the enemies of Iran need a better understanding
[00:05:11] of the... people the south, these are not the people who are going to lose
[00:05:15] hope or be discouraged by such attacks, they have lost people before,
[00:05:19] they are almost every family has a martier in its
[00:05:23] history, indeed, so this is not something that is going to
[00:05:27] discourage them, the mother of Amir Muhammad, the
[00:05:31] four year old baby who was marched in the attack on the wedding
[00:05:34] in Sirick, her words were amazing, but I
[00:05:38] don't how to explain, she was the for first words
[00:05:42] that... came out of her mouth when I was having an interview with her was
[00:05:46] that uh we are going to continue, that we are going to uh keep
[00:05:50] up that this is not something that going to bring me down, and
[00:05:54] if I had to bring, even if I had to bring all my
[00:05:57] children to resist oppression, to resist
[00:06:01] aggression, to defend the country's territorial integrity and the country's
[00:06:05] independence, I would do so willingly and I
[00:06:08] would, I would hope that the leader the revolution would
[00:06:12] accept...
[00:06:14] my uh my present, this is the kind of spirit that you see among the
[00:06:18] people the south regardless their faith or the religious
[00:06:21] background. the
[00:06:24] seventh, the 70th general conference the international
[00:06:28] atomic energy agency has commenced at the UN headquarters in Vienna
[00:06:32] on Monday. Iran is taking part in the conference too, but the head
[00:06:36] the delegation Muhammad Islami was unable to attend. That's
[00:06:40] because the the host country, Austria. revoked his visa over the
[00:06:44] weekend. Press TV's Dita Rinish has the details from
[00:06:47] Vienna.
[00:06:53] The 70th General Conference the International Atomic Energy Agency started with
[00:06:56] diplomatic scandal. Muhammad Islami, head the Atomic Energy
[00:07:00] Organization of Iran, who led the country's delegation, was spared
[00:07:04] from the conference. Under pressure from the United States, the
[00:07:08] UN and Austria revoked his visa to enter the European Union,
[00:07:12] although... he had
[00:07:13] been issued valid schengen visa weeks earlier, the conference
[00:07:16] started with a protest note from Iran. Mr.
[00:07:20] President, finally, the denial of access of head of
[00:07:23] delegation to the conference constitutes clear
[00:07:27] abuse of power and process by the host
[00:07:30] country. It further undermine Austria's
[00:07:34] overall standing as host of international
[00:07:37] organizations an impartial and professional
[00:07:41] manner. and accordingly affect the views
[00:07:44] and positions of member state with regard to the host
[00:07:48] country. this situation, regrettably, a
[00:07:52] consequence the host country's failure to uphold its
[00:07:55] explicit legal obligation. that
[00:07:58] failure cannot be justified, there is no
[00:08:02] legal basis for it. similar comments were echoed by the
[00:08:06] russian delegation. the republic of
[00:08:10] Austria has grossly violated its obligations. was under the agreement with the
[00:08:13] IAEA regarding the headquarters the agency in Vienna by withdrawing at
[00:08:17] the last moment, Mr. Aslami's visa, which had already been issued, such
[00:08:21] confrontational steps can only further aggravate the already difficult state of affairs in
[00:08:25] relations between Teran and the IAEA, which has resulted from the US
[00:08:29] Israeli aggression against Iran's nuclear facilities under agency safeguards. The
[00:08:32] Iranian delegation is now headed by Mr. Islami's deputy, was
[00:08:36] political pressure being exerted upon
[00:08:40] the hosting. Austria,
[00:08:43] Austria, to
[00:08:46] prevent the
[00:08:49] travel of Islami to come
[00:08:53] to Vienna, so this is of
[00:08:56] course violation the
[00:08:59] commitment country has, when
[00:09:03] you are preventing the of delegation to
[00:09:06] come to participate, annual conference, it
[00:09:10] is of course M using your
[00:09:14] political of course capacity, several
[00:09:17] delegations criticized the behavior the US and Austria in their
[00:09:21] speeches, diplomatic sources told us that Iran, Russia, China and
[00:09:25] several other states are expected to issue a joint statement to the channel
[00:09:28] conference in the coming days. Several days after adopting
[00:09:32] a new anti-Iran resolution at the IEA
[00:09:36] Board of Governors, Austria revoked the visa of
[00:09:40] Iran's nuclear chief. the first day the general
[00:09:44] conference highlighted the agency's deepening
[00:09:47] divisions with the US and its European allies on one
[00:09:51] side and the majority the rest the world on the
[00:09:54] other. Under Director General Rafael Grossi,
[00:09:58] the IEA has shifted from a technical body towards
[00:10:02] a political tool which critics say is being
[00:10:06] misused by the US and its allies. Theita Rajnish
[00:10:09] for Prest TV from Headquarters in Vienne.
[00:10:17] Hosen shafi, member the workers party of Britain, has told us how the
[00:10:20] IAEA is functioning simply as instrument for the US and the
[00:10:24] sar regime to punish Iran any way possible,
[00:10:28] let's see you
[00:10:28] listen.
[00:10:33] They have done nothing but work as a tool and
[00:10:36] instrument for for design a state for America.
[00:10:40] They have given up the lives or we've had the lives of our
[00:10:43] scientists taken away by these people who
[00:10:47] have offered uh the names and
[00:10:50] addresses of our team, our people who
[00:10:54] have... working on projects and they
[00:10:58] don't really care about atomic uh, what's it
[00:11:02] called? research or sciences or anything, they're really only
[00:11:06] interested in implementing whatever
[00:11:08] it is the west wants to do, they're not interested in
[00:11:12] actually giving Iran you know as as a signed up member the
[00:11:15] NPT to have a chance to actually have
[00:11:19] nuclear electricity, nuclear
[00:11:22] energy, that all they're interested in is making. sure that they can hinder
[00:11:26] Iran from being able to get any kind of
[00:11:29] nuclear capacity, and I'm not talking about weaponry, I'm
[00:11:33] talking about being able to produce electricity, and I don't believe the
[00:11:37] IA is actually interested in helping us, they're there
[00:11:41] as
[00:11:41] a tool and instrument the west to punish us
[00:11:45] any way they can, to try and catch us out and to
[00:11:48] try and bring charges up against us
[00:11:51] for failing to do whatever
[00:11:53] it is that they want to do, so they can create an atmosphere of
[00:11:57] sanctions against us, that's what they're
[00:11:59] after. as the
[00:12:03] illegal US-Israely war on Iran keeps sending tremors through
[00:12:07] the global economy, Italy remains one the EU countries
[00:12:11] most exposed to fossil fuel shocks. Rome imports
[00:12:14] practically all of this gas and oil it uses. Maxiavilley
[00:12:18] has a
[00:12:19] details.
[00:12:24] The effects the... provoked war of aggression which is being waged on Iran
[00:12:28] by the Epstein coalition continues to bite hard on Italy's
[00:12:31] family finances and businesses, as tensions keep building
[00:12:35] throughout the whole of West Asia, the cost of fuel at the pump
[00:12:39] keeps rising with the Italians struggling to cop with the
[00:12:43] consequent growing cost of living. The illegal war in Iran has
[00:12:46] driven up agricultural and energy costs in Italy by
[00:12:50] nearly 50%, putting intense pressure on food production
[00:12:54] and consumer prices. Rome's fragility on energy
[00:12:58] issues is evident in the European scenario. Italy is the
[00:13:02] most exposed country to fossil fuel shocks, being
[00:13:05] among the blocks most dependent on gas and
[00:13:09] oil, which are almost entirely
[00:13:11] imported. Currently the energy
[00:13:15] supply situation in Italy and across the EU is being
[00:13:19] affected not only by the worsening situation in West Asia, but also by
[00:13:23] severe shortage of refining. capacity here in Italy, several
[00:13:27] refineries have been shut down in recent years. As result, Rome has
[00:13:30] already begun drawing its strategic fuel reserves, while fuel
[00:13:34] prices have reached record highs. Costs are likely to continue rising
[00:13:38] if international tensions do not ease. High fuel costs have
[00:13:42] been putting an almost pressure on supply chains since over
[00:13:46] 80% of goods in Italy are transported by road,
[00:13:49] survey transported by road. Surveys have
[00:13:53] consistently shown over the past. think the country should have
[00:13:56] avoided getting involved
[00:13:58] in the Iran war, sicuramente,
[00:14:01] for sure, the war on Iran is impacting greatly on the cost of living.
[00:14:05] Had our government made different choices, the situation here
[00:14:09] wouldn't be this bad. The government has made things
[00:14:13] worse as they have not been able to find effective solutions. It keeps
[00:14:16] patching things up while the international situation deteriorates. A
[00:14:20] recent report by the Italian confederation of craft, trades and
[00:14:24] small. and medium-sized enterprises has found that between
[00:14:28] the start the illegal war on Iran on February 28
[00:14:32] and August 31st, the increased outlay for
[00:14:36] fuel, electricity and gas is estimated in Italy
[00:14:40] at over 11 billion euro compared to pre-crisis
[00:14:43] levels. Max Chively, press TV,
[00:14:46] Rome. The Yemani army
[00:14:50] says it has foiled a planned airstrike by Saudi Arabia on the country
[00:14:54] by. confronting and repelling two combat formations coming from the
[00:14:58] kingdom. Yemen's army spokesman Yahya Sari said the
[00:15:02] Saudi combat formation included Typhoon and F-15 fighter
[00:15:06] jets which were intercepted in the Saada governor it. Ye
[00:15:10] added that the war planes had taken off from Saudi bases in Hamis
[00:15:13] Mushait and Taiv. Siri said the fighter jets were
[00:15:17] confronted with number of domestically made air defense missiles which
[00:15:21] forced them to retreat and return to the bases. His rem.
[00:15:25] came after earlier in the same day, Siri said, Saudi F-15 and
[00:15:29] Taiphoon war planes had carried out 54 air strikes on several
[00:15:33] Yemani governorits within a period of 24
[00:15:36] hours. Those air strikes also
[00:15:40] originated from south. A major shift
[00:15:44] is unfolding along Yemen's Red Sea coast with the Yemini forces
[00:15:47] liberating the strategic port city of Almorka from Soundiback
[00:15:51] militants. Residents say the change has brought a sense
[00:15:55] of security after years of hardship while authorities moved to restore
[00:15:59] basic services and economic stability. Press TV's
[00:16:02] Yahyar reports from
[00:16:04] Almoka.
[00:16:09] the port city ofmoca, yeman's red sea coast has been liberated
[00:16:13] from Saudi backed militant who seized it in
[00:16:16] 2017, as we entered the city, we witnessed wide
[00:16:20] spread relief with the residents welcoming the arrival of
[00:16:23] Ansarullah forces.
[00:16:27] Al-maka is secure, I call on those who fled their homes to return. The
[00:16:31] situation is safe and stable, thank God. We praise the ants are all law
[00:16:35] leader and the movement's forces who arrived. of Almaca,
[00:16:39] in the everything city is clear before your eyes, the situation is secure and
[00:16:42] stable. I
[00:16:46] say to leader Abdul Malik, by
[00:16:50] God, I place my life alongside yours, you
[00:16:54] gave us safety and guarantee, something
[00:16:57] that we did not have when the mercenaries were here, everything was
[00:17:01] reserved only for them, while they harass the poor and the
[00:17:04] orphans.
[00:17:07] The yemen. Armed forces liberated almoka on Thursday as they
[00:17:10] advanced toward the Babel Mandab straight. The development ends
[00:17:14] years of Saudi backed militant prisons, which residents
[00:17:18] say brought intense pressure on ordinary citizens
[00:17:22] from hoarding basic sublies to threatening their
[00:17:25] lives. There were fish in the sea, but they would not allow
[00:17:29] us to go into the water. They used to block us and fire at
[00:17:32] us. Praise be to God. Ever since Encerella arrived
[00:17:36] here, the sea.
[00:17:47] God willing, everyone will return to their homeland. The siege
[00:17:51] was lifted, roads were opened, projects were reopened and
[00:17:55] everything is restarted, praise be to
[00:17:57] God.
[00:18:01] An unbacked currency issued in occupied areas has eroded local purchasing
[00:18:05] power, pushing market price. is in almoka to nearly four times
[00:18:09] those in Sanha. With the coastal city now reconnected to the
[00:18:13] capital, government officials have moved to enforce the price
[00:18:16] controls, stabilize the currency and restore essential
[00:18:20] public services. Here in the streets of newly liberated
[00:18:24] almoka local relief is
[00:18:26] unmistakable. The end of militia
[00:18:30] rule means an end to years of fear,
[00:18:33] restoring safety, dignity and sovereinity to the coastal.
[00:18:43] Iran's foreign minister has reitarated the country's full support for
[00:18:47] Lebanon's dignified resistance against the Israeli regime's
[00:18:50] occupation and acts of aggression. Abbas Ararakchi was speaking
[00:18:54] a phone call with the speaker of Lebanon's parliament Nabih

[00:19:41] countries in the West Asia
[00:19:43] region.

[00:21:37] gathering in the city of Ray had begun empty: eight-year-old
[00:21:41] avin Amir Khashani, a little girl with brown hair, dimples and bright
[00:21:45] eyes was walking hand in hand with her mother.
[00:21:48] Without warning the... sky turn yellow, deafining explosion from the
[00:21:52] nearby oil refinery shook the ground beneath them. "mum,
[00:21:56] mum, run, run!" Ovina screamed, then came the
[00:22:00] dust, the smoke and the
[00:22:02] silence. The night before avine had
[00:22:06] written in her diary, "Dear leader, I want to become a martter like
[00:22:09] you." Less than 24 hours later she died in her
[00:22:13] grandmother's arms. This is story of Oven's brief life

[00:22:37] happen to you. as Layla reaches the night the
[00:22:40] explosion, her voice begans to shake. that evening, after
[00:22:44] breaking our fast, we went shopping for new year's clothes. we bought avine,
[00:22:48] new pair of trousers. They were a little too long, I plan
[00:22:52] to shorten them later, yet never happened. Her husband
[00:22:56] dropped Laila Vene and her younger brother at her mother's house.
[00:22:59] Together, they walked to the nightly gathering. Ovin happyly
[00:23:03] carried picture the martered leader. On their
[00:23:07] way home, everything changed, the refinery was struck. The flash was
[00:23:11] blinding, people scattered in every direction. Alvin kept shouting, mom,
[00:23:15] run, mom, run. I can still hear her voice. When the dust settled,
[00:23:19] I realized my hand had been hit by sharpno and my left leg had been
[00:23:23] severed below the ankle. her mother was holding ovine. she
[00:23:26] looked peaceful. there wasn't a scratched on her face. we thought she
[00:23:30] had simply lost consciousness. a stranger picked her up and ran
[00:23:34] towards the hospital. kept screaming, don't
[00:23:37] take ovine away, but i couldn't move. i couldn't even hold my own
[00:23:41] daughter one last time. for 10 days while la lay in
[00:23:45] hospital, everyone told her avin was intensive
[00:23:47] care. only the day. Before the funeral did they tell her
[00:23:51] she had died, despite the pain, Laila smiles when she remembers her
[00:23:55] daughter. She was like a bottle of perfume. Whenever she entered her
[00:23:59] room, she filled it with warmth. Everyone loved her. Today,
[00:24:03] perhaps no one feels Ovine's absence more deeply than her six-year-old
[00:24:07] brother, Amir Ali, who was also injured that night. He didn't just
[00:24:11] lose sister, their mother says
[00:24:13] he lost his closest
[00:24:14] friend.

[00:25:35] What happens when faith changes the way you see yourself and the
[00:25:39] world?
[00:25:44] This documentary explores Sada's spiritual journey from Latin
[00:25:48] America to Islam. revealing the struggles, questions
[00:25:52] and quiet strength that shape her new life within the Shia Muslim
[00:25:56] community.
[00:26:25] Tonight on expos a we begin with mainstream digital media where the New York Times
[00:26:29] and the hill reveal turmoil at the highest level. the
[00:26:33] Trump administration from the resignation the army secretary to
[00:26:37] military descent over the war against Iran, then in social media we
[00:26:41] turn to the explosive criticism confronting Washington over its increasingly
[00:26:44] unapologetic alignment with Zionist Israel. In fake
[00:26:48] news, CNN's framing of Iranian retaliation comes under
[00:26:52] scrutiny while the independent offers remarkable
[00:26:55] glimpse into the fallout surrounding an overstretch US military.
[00:26:59] And in figures we follow the numbers to join. and examining the
[00:27:03] economic, security and human cost of hosting US
[00:27:07] forces. Finally, in voices, Peter Benard and
[00:27:10] John Stewart challenge a deeply entrenched narrative about
[00:27:14] power and victimhood. Welcome to TV expose, the award
[00:27:18] winning show that leaves no stone on
[00:27:20] turned.
[00:27:27] From CNN's headline flipping the chronology of fuc iran escalation
[00:27:31] to the independent. exposing the extraordinary precautions
[00:27:35] surrounding thousands of US sailors. Today's stories reveal how
[00:27:39] media framing and military conduct can tell two very
[00:27:43] different tales. Here are the headlines. CNN headline
[00:27:47] war. Iran blamed for retaliation as US strikes get
[00:27:50] buried. 500 sailors 200 days at sea. Why
[00:27:54] Pataya is preparing for more than a military
[00:27:56] visit.
[00:28:04] As western media scrumbled to frame Iran's retaliation as aggression
[00:28:08] while overlooking what triggered it, and as another story
[00:28:12] exposes the darker side of an overstretch military, we examined the
[00:28:15] narratives behind the headlines. Joining us a broadcast media expert
[00:28:19] fuad and analyst, welcome to you both, fuad. Thank you, thank
[00:28:23] you, so the US media machine is hyped once again as Iran
[00:28:27] retaliates to relentless US aggression by
[00:28:31] targeting US assets and Arab. countries arab reality, the
[00:28:34] reality is that allowing reality, the reality is that allowing
[00:28:38] Washington to use your territory and to use your bases to attack the
[00:28:41] Islamic Republic can make you legitimate targets and can make your territory
[00:28:45] part the battlefield, so our first example from CNN with
[00:28:49] the headline Iran attacks Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait defying
[00:28:53] Trump's warning, so notice the wording,
[00:28:56] Iran attacks, but the reality described inside the report of course
[00:29:00] tells a different story, so let's watch. The
[00:29:04] US military also says it strikes across the country, we're
[00:29:07] responding to Iran's recent attacks on US troops in the
[00:29:11] region and commercial shipping in the straight of hormoz. Iran
[00:29:15] quickly defied President Trump's warning to not retaliate and
[00:29:19] launched ballistic missile attacks on Jordan, as well as we see
[00:29:23] here, Jordan saying it intercepted 10 missiles from
[00:29:26] Iran and another three fell in remote areas. Kuwait and
[00:29:30] Bahrain say they intercepted. drone attacks from
[00:29:33] Iran. CNN's Kevin Liptach is joining us right now from
[00:29:37] the White House. What are you hearing, Kevin, this morning from the
[00:29:41] administration? Well, President Trump certainly does not sound
[00:29:45] like a man a hurry to get this conflict
[00:29:47] over with, despite uh the spike in oil prices and despite concerns from many of
[00:29:51] his Republican allies, that this could hurt them in the mid-term elections.
[00:29:55] You
[00:29:55] know, this latest round of tensions began on Sunday
[00:29:59] when the US attacked Iranian positions on. island that
[00:30:03] it said, we're preparing to launch mines into the
[00:30:07] straight of horm, that prompted Iranian retaliation, which prompted
[00:30:11] us retaliation, which prompted Iranian retaliation back to
[00:30:14] this familiar pattern of back and forth strikes that has dr.
