[00:01:31] a Oman have reached an understanding a specific framework for the straight
[00:01:35] and informed international maritime organization of that
[00:01:38] understanding. Pesishgan reiterated that it was not Iran that
[00:01:42] started the war, but the enemy attacked the country with no justification
[00:01:46] and marted the leader, top commanders, nuclear scientists and
[00:01:50] of ordinary of people, including many children. Heast that Iran has only
[00:01:54] defended itself adding that there is no
[00:01:58] of of justification on an international level for the enemy's action. Else way in his remarks
[00:02:02] said Iran has no problem with regional countries
[00:02:05] a but has a problem with US bases in those countries which are
[00:02:08] used for the aggression against Iran. The Iranian president noted that
[00:02:12] neighboring and friendly countries should not allow the enemies to use their
[00:02:16] territories to attack
[00:02:19] in Iran. of Iran's
[00:02:21] of top security official has slamed US President Donald Trump's
[00:02:24] contradictory positions on negotiations with Iran saying his remarks
[00:02:28] are aimed at swaying. energy prices, secretary
[00:02:32] ofban supreme National Security Council, Major General Mohsen Razi
[00:02:36] made the comment
[00:02:37] in a social media post. Raz said the world should not be distracted
[00:02:41] by the US president's mix signals from no negotiations so we are
[00:02:45] ready to talk stressing that stakes around oil and the strates
[00:02:49] have changed. Raz was alluding to Iran's full control
[00:02:52] of the straight of hormous and yemen armies control
[00:02:54] of the bubble mandab straight, both of which are vital energy export
[00:02:58] rots to global market. Razi stressed that there will be no talks
[00:03:02] until
[00:03:04] of of Iran's conditions are met and this position is definitive, his comments came after Trump
[00:03:08] said the US is open to engaging with Iran a peace agreement.
[00:03:11] Trump's remarks contradicted his earlier statements in which he said
[00:03:15] talks between the US and Iran but neither taking place nor
[00:03:19] scheduled alleging that the straight of Homus is
[00:03:24] of open. The IRGC Navy says a super tanker trying to cross
[00:03:28] the straight of almost through route not. authorized by Iran has exploded
[00:03:32] after colliding with naval mines. The IRGC said in its
[00:03:35] statement that the super tanker al gaya was trying to cross the
[00:03:39] strategic water bay through a prohibited route in the southern part
[00:03:42] of the straight when it collided with naval mines. The statement added that
[00:03:46] fire broke out
[00:03:47] of on the ship
[00:03:48] of following the explosion and efforts made to contain it have been
[00:03:51] futile causing the entire tanker to be in golfed
[00:03:55] a in flames. The IAGC emphasized that a warning had previously been
[00:03:58] issued regarding the date. dangerous nature of such illegal
[00:04:02] transit roots, the statement concluded by reaffirming that the straight of
[00:04:06] hormos is closed and remains under dirgc smart
[00:04:09] control. Press TV's
[00:04:13] correspondent joined us in our terron studio earlier to share his
[00:04:17] experience in southern Iran while reporting on US crimes
[00:04:21] there. He says the enemies of Iran do not have a proper understanding
[00:04:24] of the scope
[00:04:25] of the people's
[00:04:25] resilience.
[00:04:29] Perhaps. "the enemies of Iran need a better understanding
[00:04:33] of the people
[00:04:34] of the south, these are not the people who are going to lose hope or be
[00:04:38] discouraged by such attacks, they have lost people before,
[00:04:41] their almost every family has a martier in its
[00:04:45] history, indeed, so this is not something that is going to
[00:04:49] discourage them, the mother of Amir Muhammad, the
[00:04:53] four year old baby who was married in the attack on the wedding
[00:04:56] in Sirick, her words were amazing bahman."
[00:05:00] I don't want how to explain, she was the for first
[00:05:03] words that came out of her mouth when I was having an
[00:05:06] of interview with her was that we are going to
[00:05:09] of continue, that we are going to uh keep up. that this is not
[00:05:13] something that going to bring me down, and if I had to
[00:05:17] bring, even if I had to bring all my children
[00:05:20] to resist oppression, to resist aggression, to defend the
[00:05:24] country's territorial integrity and the country's independence, I would do
[00:05:28] so willingly, and I would, I would hope that
[00:05:32] the leader the revolution would accept my uh, my
[00:05:36] present, this is the kind of spirit that you see among the people
[00:05:40] the south regardless their faith or... religious
[00:05:43] background, the 70th general
[00:05:46] conference the international atomic energy agency has commenced at the UN
[00:05:50] headquarters in Vienna on Monday. Iran is taking part in the
[00:05:54] conference too, but head the delegation Muhammad Islami was unable to
[00:05:58] attend, that is because the host country, Austria revoked his visa over the
[00:06:01] weekend. Press TV reports from
[00:06:04] Vienna.
[00:06:10] The 70s General Conference the International. energy agency started with
[00:06:13] diplomatic scandal. Islami, head the atomic energy
[00:06:17] organization of Iran who led the country's delegation was spared from
[00:06:21] the conference. Under pressure from the United States, the UN
[00:06:25] and Austria revoked his visa to enter the European Union, although
[00:06:29] he had been issued valid schengen visa weeks earlier. The
[00:06:33] conference started with a protest note from Iran. Mr.
[00:06:37] President, finally, the denial of access of head of
[00:06:41] delegation to the. conference constitutes clear
[00:06:44] abuse of power and process by the host
[00:06:48] country, it further undermine Austria's
[00:06:51] overall standing as host of international
[00:06:55] organizations an impartial and professional
[00:06:58] manner and accordingly affect the views
[00:07:02] and positions of member state with regard to the host
[00:07:05] country, this situation regretably a
[00:07:09] consequence the host country's failure to up.
[00:07:54] pressure being
[00:07:56] it was political exerted upon the hosting country
[00:08:00] austr austria to
[00:08:03] prevent the
[00:08:06] travel of islami
[00:08:09] to come to vienna so this is
[00:08:13] of course violation the commitment
[00:08:17] which the osing country has when when you are
[00:08:20] preventing the head of delegation to come
[00:08:24] to participate the annual conference, it is of
[00:08:28] course misusing your
[00:08:31] political of course capacity. several
[00:08:34] delegations criticized the behavior the US and austria in their
[00:08:38] speeches. diplomatic sources told us that Iran, Russia, China
[00:08:42] and other states are expected to issue a joint statement to the
[00:08:45] channel conference in the coming days. several days after
[00:08:49] adopting a new anti-Iranted the
[00:08:53] agency's deepening divisions with the US and its
[00:08:56] European allies on one side and the majority the rest
[00:09:00] the world on
[00:09:01] the other. Under Director General Rafael
[00:09:04] Grossi, the IEA has shifted from a technical
[00:09:08] party towards a political tool which critics say...
[00:09:37] They have done nothing but work as a tool and
[00:09:41] instrument for for design. a state for America,
[00:09:44] they have given up the lives, or we've had the lives of
[00:09:48] our scientists taken away by these people who
[00:09:51] have offered the names and
[00:09:55] addresses of our team, our people who
[00:09:59] have been working on projects and they
[00:10:03] don't really care about atomic, what's it
[00:10:06] called, research or sciences or anything, they're really only
[00:10:10] interested implementing what?
[00:10:12] it is the west wants to do, they're not interested in actually
[00:10:16] giving you
[00:10:18] as a signed up member the NPT to have a chance to
[00:10:21] actually have nuclear. interesting
[00:10:25] nuclear energy, the all they interested in is making
[00:10:29] sure that they can hinder Iran from being able to get any
[00:10:33] kind of nuclear capacity,
[00:10:36] and I'm not talking about weaponry, I'm talking about being able to produce
[00:10:39] electricity, and I don't believe the IEA is actually interested
[00:10:43] in helping us, they're there as a tool and instrument
[00:10:46] the west to punish us any way they can, to
[00:10:50] try and catch us out and to try and bring
[00:10:54] charges. against us for failing to do whatever
[00:10:58] it is that they want to do just so they can create an atmosphere of
[00:11:02] sanctions against us, that's what they're
[00:11:03] after. as the illegal
[00:11:07] US Israel keeps sending tremos through the global economy,
[00:11:11] italy remains one the EU countries most exposed to fossil
[00:11:15] fuel shocks. Rome imports practically all of its gas and
[00:11:19] oil. Max Chivilib
[00:11:20] reports.
[00:11:24] The effects. the unprovoked war of aggression which is being waged on
[00:11:28] Iran by the Epstein coalition continues to bite hard on
[00:11:31] Italy's family finances and businesses, as tensions keep
[00:11:35] building throughout the whole of West Asia, the cost of fuel at the
[00:11:39] pump keeps rising with the Italians struggling to cope with
[00:11:43] the consequent growing cost of living. The illegal war in Iran
[00:11:47] has driven up agricultural and energy costs in Italy
[00:11:51] by nearly 50%, putting intense pressure on food production.
[00:11:55] and consumer prices. Rome's fragility on energy
[00:11:58] issues is evident in the European scenario. Italy is
[00:12:02] the most exposed country to fossil fuel shocks being
[00:12:06] among the blocks most dependent on gas and
[00:12:09] oil, which are almost entirely
[00:12:12] imported. Currently the energy
[00:12:16] supply situation in Italy and across the EU is being
[00:12:19] affected not only by the worsening situation in west Asia, but also by
[00:12:23] severe shortage of ref. capacity here in Italy, several
[00:12:27] refineries have been shut down in recent years. As result, Rome has
[00:12:31] already begun drawing its strategic fuel reserves, while fuel
[00:12:35] prices have reached record highs. Costs are likely to continue rising
[00:12:38] if international tensions do not ease. High fuel costs have
[00:12:42] been putting enormous pressure on supply chains since over
[00:12:46] 80% of goods in Italy are transported by road.
[00:12:50] Surveys have consistently shown over the past months that a large
[00:12:54] majority of it.
[00:13:03] impacting greatly on the cost of living, had our government made
[00:13:07] Iran is different choices, the situation here wouldn't be this
[00:13:10] bad. The government has made things worse as they have not
[00:13:14] been able to find effective solutions. It keeps patching things up while the
[00:13:18] international situation deteriorates. A recent report by the
[00:13:22] Italian confederation of craft trades and small and
[00:13:25] medium-sized enterprises has found that between the start
[00:13:29] the illegal war on Iran on February 28 and
[00:13:33] August 31st, the increased outlay for
[00:13:36] fuel, electricity and gas is estimated in Italy
[00:13:40] at over 11 billion euro compared to pre-crisis
[00:13:44] levels. Max Chively, Press TV,
[00:13:47] Rome. The emimini army says it has foiled
[00:13:50] a planned air strike by Saudi Arabia on the country by confronting and repelling.
[00:13:55] two combat formations coming from the kingdom. the yemeny
[00:13:59] army spokesman Yaya Sari said the Saudi combat formation
[00:14:02] included typhoon and F-15 fighter jets which were
[00:14:06] intercepted in the sadar governorate. he added that the war planes had
[00:14:09] taken off from Saudi Airbases in Hamis Mushait and
[00:14:13] Taif. sari said the fighter jets were confronted with number
[00:14:17] of domestically made air defense units and missiles
[00:14:21] which force them to retreat and return to their bases. his remarks
[00:14:25] came after earlier the same day sari said Saudi F-15 and
[00:14:28] Typhoon war planes had carried out 54 air strikes on
[00:14:32] several yemini governorates within a period of 24 hours those
[00:14:36] air strikes also originated from Saudi airbases in Hames
[00:14:40] Musheit and Taif he vod the Saudi regime's brutal aggression against
[00:14:44] Yemen will not go
[00:14:45] unpunished.

[00:14:53] Yermany forces liberating the strategic. port city of Almakar from
[00:14:57] Saudi backed militants, residents say the change has brought a sense of
[00:15:00] security after years of hardship while authorities moved to

[00:16:02] when the mercenaries were here, everything was reserved only for
[00:16:06] them,
[00:16:13] on Thursday as they advanced toward the Babel Mandab
[00:16:17] straight, the development ends years of Saudi backed
[00:16:20] militant presence, which residents say brought
[00:16:23] intense pressure on ordinary citizens from hoarding
[00:16:27] basic supplies to threatening their lives. They were
[00:16:31] fish in the sea, but they would not allow us to go into the water. They
[00:16:35] used to block us and fire at us.

[00:17:11] in almoka to nearly four times those in Sanha, with the coastal
[00:17:15] city now reconnected to the capital, government officials have
[00:17:19] moved to enforce the price controls, stabilize the currency and

[00:17:27] of newly liberated almoka, local relief is
[00:17:30] unmistakable, the end of militia

[00:17:48] reiterated the country's full support for Lebanon's dignified
[00:17:51] resistance against Israely regime's occupation and acts of
[00:17:55] aggression.
[00:17:56] Abbas Saru was speaking a phone call with speaker the Lebanon's parliament Nabi
[00:18:00] Berry. He reaffirmed Iran's unwaving commitment to protecting
[00:18:03] Lebanon's national sovereignty and territorial integrity in the...
[00:18:07] the genocidal Israeli regime's aggression, the Lebanese Parliament

[00:18:15] country, referring to the Israeli regime's crimes against Lebanon,

[00:18:44] The Palestinian health ministry warns that Gaza's healthcare system is
[00:18:48] facing an imminent threat of collapse due to severe fuel
[00:18:52] shortages and mid Israel's ban on the entry of humanitarian aid.

[00:23:27] On June 13th, 2025, war came to Dr. Ali Fuladman's
[00:23:31] home and Israeli strike killed his wife and left the Iranian scientist
[00:23:35] seriously wounded. It was not the last attempt on his life. Less than
[00:23:38] year later, during the 2026 war Fuladan was
[00:23:42] targeted again
[00:23:43] this time, he was martered. Fulad man was not a
[00:23:46] politician, he was not a military commander, he was a sign.
[00:23:50] a senior researcher who spent years working on strategic
[00:23:54] technologies and national defense
[00:23:56] projects. He served at Iran's organization
[00:24:00] of defensive innovation and research known as SPND,
[00:24:04] eventually becoming his head of research. His work had already
[00:24:08] made him a target of American pressure. On October 1st,
[00:24:11] 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned him, but
[00:24:15] Fuladwan's most important contribution could never be captured
[00:24:19] in a sanction. list or an official
[00:24:21] title. He thought, he trained young
[00:24:25] researchers, shared what he had learned and helped prepare new
[00:24:28] generation to work in some of Iran's most advanced fields
[00:24:32] of science and technology. For him, scientific power was not
[00:24:36] simply about what one scientist could achieve, it was about what could be
[00:24:40] passed on from one generation to the next, and what may
[00:24:43] explain why scientists like Fulad van can become
[00:24:46] targets, eliminating scientist may. one voice,
[00:24:50] but it cannot erase the knowledge of that voice has already passed to
[00:24:54] others. just days after his martterdom, the prestigious journal
[00:24:57] science in its April 6th, 2026 issue reported on the growing
[00:25:01] Israeli campaign targeting Iranian scientists and universities. full
[00:25:05] advanced death had become part of a larger story, a
[00:25:09] war in which those capable of advancing Iran
[00:25:12] scientific and technological future were themselves
[00:25:16] being targeted, but there is limit to what an attack can...
[00:25:20] destroy a laboratory can be hit, a researcher can be
[00:25:23] killed, a generation can lose one of its teachers, but knowledge
[00:25:27] survives, it is carried by the students, they trained, the researchers, they
[00:25:31] inspired, and the people who continue the work after they are
[00:25:35] gone, that was full advance other legacy, one no
[00:25:38] missile could
[00:25:39] eliminate.
[00:25:51] They call themselves Ansarula or the supporters of God and
[00:25:55] regard confronting American and Israeli aggression and domination in the region
[00:25:58] as one their principal objectives. They are among the most.
[00:26:02] most courageous fighters of our time, men who face bombardment and
[00:26:06] death, yet refused to retreat even a single step from their beliefs
[00:26:10] in their path of resistance. For years, they have fought Saudi
[00:26:14] Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in defense of Yemen, a
[00:26:18] war backed by American military support. They have resisted
[00:26:22] every attempt to force their country into submission, and in
[00:26:26] support the people of Gaza, have repeatedly struck Israeli
[00:26:29] targets nearly 2,0 kilometers away. On
[00:26:33] July 13th, 2026, Saudi Arabia bombed
[00:26:37] the runway at Sanaah International Airport an attempt to prevent an
[00:26:41] Iranian aircraft from landing. Unsarula declared that Riyad
[00:26:45] had ended the period of deescalation, he promised immediate
[00:26:48] response. Within hours, Saudi airports including
[00:26:52] Aba international airport came under attack. This was
[00:26:56] nothing new. The Yemini Resistance movement has repeatedly
[00:27:00] demonstrated its ability to reach deep. inside Saudi
[00:27:03] Arabia. In September 2019, its
[00:27:07] drone strike on the Abkaik
[00:27:09] and Kurais oil facilities exposed the vulnerability of Saudi Aramco
[00:27:13] despite billions of dollars worth of American-made air defense
[00:27:16] systems. Now, the resistance movement warns that any new
[00:27:20] attack on Yemen's infrastructure could bring even more strategic
[00:27:24] targets into range, including the vital oil facilities at
[00:27:27] Yanbu. Today, more than 70% of Saudi oil
[00:27:31] exports bypass. the straight of Hormus through pipelines to Yanbu on the
[00:27:35] Red Sea, but from there they must still pass through the Bob
[00:27:39] Almandab straight. If that route is closed, Saudi
[00:27:42] Arabia's alternative export corridor disappears.
[00:27:46] Ansarula has already shown it can disrupt one the world's busiest maritime
[00:27:50] choke points. Since the outbreak the Gaza War in
[00:27:53] 2023, it has launched attacks in the Red Sea,
[00:27:57] declaring that it would target vessels linked to Israel in support the
[00:28:00] Palestinians. "the Red Sea operations have
[00:28:04] forced major shipping companies to reroot around Southern Africa,
[00:28:08] increased global transport costs, and pushed Israel's southern port
[00:28:12] of ilot, the brink of collapse. If both the straight
[00:28:16] of Hormus and Bob Almandab were closed at the same time,
[00:28:20] nearly a quarter the world's oil and gas supply, and almost one third
[00:28:24] of global container traffic could be affected. Oil prices
[00:28:27] could sore toward $200 per barrel, while Europe's energy
[00:28:31] security would face. your pressure. For
[00:28:34] Ansarula, Yemen is not merely another battlefield,
[00:28:38] it is a strategic front with the power to reshape the global
[00:28:41] economy. The axis of
[00:28:44] resistance still holds powerful strategic cards in
[00:28:47] reserve, cards that once played could leave even
[00:28:51] America unable to respond despite all its military
[00:28:55] might.
[00:29:32] This is not a war,
[00:29:33] it is systematic genocide, but whatever they try, Palestine will
[00:29:37] never
[00:29:37] die.
[00:29:52] Hello, I'm Chris Williamson, and this is Palestine Declassified where we
[00:29:56] focus on the international struggle to liberate Palestine and expose
[00:29:59] Israel's efforts to manipulate the political class and... media,
[00:30:03] in today's show, we'll be revisiting the genocide in South Lebanon,
[00:30:07] which is continuing to see killings, displacement, and the
[00:30:11] destruction of homes unfolding every day, despite a supposed
[00:30:15] cease fire. As our video report will explain, the United States
[00:30:19] continues to exert pressure on the Lebanese government to disarm hisb.
[00:30:22] Meanwhile, the cienist entity strengthens its plans to permanently
[00:30:26] occupy South Levalan under the guise of so-called security
[00:30:30] zone.
[00:30:33] The genocide in South Lebanon continues, even though the
[00:30:37] world forgets. Since the 2nd of March this year,
[00:30:41] more than 4,000.
