[00:03:18] straight of hormos
[00:03:20] in is of
[00:03:22] of open. Iran's IRGC says it has shot down a US
[00:03:26] MQ1 drone over the straight of Hormus
[00:03:28] in a short statement to IRGC said the air defense system of
[00:03:32] its aerospace targeted destroy and destroyed a drone in
[00:03:36] western parts
[00:03:37] a of Hormus. Iran's armed forces have shut down scores of American drones
[00:03:41] and other aircraft including MQ9 Reapers since the
[00:03:45] imposed US Israel war on Iran began in February. Some
[00:03:49] days ago Iran also seized a US military underwater drone in the
[00:03:53] of homo straight. The
[00:03:56] IRGC and Iran's army have stressed growing unity and operation
[00:04:00] between the two forces saying their cohesion has strengthened the country's
[00:04:04] ability to confront its enemies, the IRGC spokesperson,
[00:04:08] second brigade general Hussein

[00:04:23] of spokesperson brigadier general Muhammad Akram in year for his parts at the unity between the
[00:04:27] of two forces frustrated Iran's enemies. would hope to create
[00:04:31] divisions inside the country. Akramina also said that Iran's
[00:04:35] armed forces have been standing again energy agency comments that the UN
[00:04:38] headquarters in Vienna on Monday.
[00:04:41] in Iran is taking part in the conference too, but the head
[00:04:43] of the delegation, Mohammed Islami was unable to attend, that is because
[00:04:47] of the host country, Austria revoked his visa over the weekend.
[00:04:51] Press
[00:04:52] of TV reports
[00:04:53] of from
[00:04:54] in Vienna. The
[00:04:58] 70th general conference
[00:05:02] a of the... national atomic energy agency started with a diplomatic scandal, muhammed Islami, head
[00:05:04] of the atomic energy organization of Iran, who led the country's
[00:05:08] delegation was spared from the conference, under pressure from the
[00:05:12] United State. states, the UN and Austria revoked his visa
[00:05:15] to enter the European Union, although he had been issued valid schengen
[00:05:19] visa weeks earlier, the conference started with a protest
[00:05:23] note from Iran. Mr. President, finally, the
[00:05:27] denial of access of head of delegation to the
[00:05:30] conference constitutes clear abuse of
[00:05:33] power and process by the host country. It
[00:05:37] further undermined Austria's overall standing as
[00:05:41] host of. international organizations an
[00:05:44] impartial and professional manner and accordingly
[00:05:48] affect the views and positions of member state
[00:05:52] with regard to the host country. this situation,
[00:05:56] regrettably, a consequence the host country's failure
[00:05:59] to uphold its explicit legal obligation. that
[00:06:03] failure cannot be justified, there is no
[00:06:07] legal basis for it. similar comments were echoed by the
[00:06:11] Russian delegation. The Republic of
[00:06:15] Austria has grossly violated its obligations under the agreement with the
[00:06:18] IAEA regarding the headquarters the agency in Vienna by withdrawing at the
[00:06:22] last moment Mr. Aslami's visa which had already been issued. Such
[00:06:26] confrontational steps can only further aggravate the already now headed by Mr.
[00:06:29] Islamic Deputy.
[00:06:31] It was political pressure being exerted upon
[00:06:35] the hosting country Australia
[00:06:39] Austria to prevent.
[00:06:43] the travel of Mr.
[00:06:47] Islami to come to Vienna, so this
[00:06:50] is of course violation
[00:06:53] the commitment country
[00:06:56] has, when you are preventing the head
[00:07:00] of delegation to come to participate,
[00:07:04] annual conference, it is of course
[00:07:07] misusing your political of
[00:07:11] course capacity. Several delegations criticized the behavior the US
[00:07:15] and Austria in their speeches, diplomatic sources told us that Iran,
[00:07:19] Russia, China, and several other states are expected to issue a joint
[00:07:22] statement to the general conference in the coming days. Several days
[00:07:26] after adopting a new anti-Iran
[00:07:30] resolution at the IEA Board of Governors, Austria
[00:07:33] revoked the visa of Iran's nuclear
[00:07:36] chief. The first day the general conference highlighted
[00:07:40] the agency's deepening. divisions with the US and its
[00:07:44] European allies on one side and the majority the
[00:07:48] rest the world on the other, under director general
[00:07:52] Raphael Grossy, the IEA has shifted from a technical
[00:07:56] body towards a political tool which critics
[00:08:00] say is being misused by the US and its
[00:08:03] allies. Dita Rinish for Brest TV from headquarters in
[00:08:07] Vienna. I'm now joined by data
[00:08:11] from Vienna, very good to have. you on this news bulletin data on day two the
[00:08:15] conference the international atomic energy agency, what's
[00:08:18] up? yeah, hello, you see, i'm
[00:08:22] standing here in the conference hall, it's
[00:08:26] about 10 past 10 local time, the second day the
[00:08:29] conference will start anyt a couple of
[00:08:33] minutes, again it continues like
[00:08:37] yesterday with statements from the various
[00:08:39] delegations, it's expected that the Iranian
[00:08:43] delegation will uh give their speech in
[00:08:47] the afternoon session. um this
[00:08:51] morning there was also a an Iranian side event,
[00:08:55] so at this conference is not only the delegates here,
[00:08:59] political aspects, also lot of scientific and
[00:09:02] technological uh developments and one the side events
[00:09:06] was organized by the atomic energy agency of Iran
[00:09:10] and they are showcased uh their
[00:09:12] scientific developments and achievements in
[00:09:16] particular
[00:09:17] in the field of nuclear medicine this
[00:09:20] morning. um, in the course of
[00:09:24] this conference, the coming days, there will be two this
[00:09:28] two agenda items that were
[00:09:31] proposed by Iran,
[00:09:34] and the first these two is called the promotion of
[00:09:38] efficiency and effectiveness the IEA decision making
[00:09:42] process. this uh so this agenda item that was proposed by
[00:09:46] Iran basically uh aims to discuss
[00:09:49] how the IEA bodies are
[00:09:53] composed uh I've mentioned in my
[00:09:57] report before that there was another anti
[00:09:59] Iran resolution at the board of governors last week and the board of
[00:10:03] governors is one these bodies that always due to
[00:10:07] its composition always have a western majority
[00:10:11] there are a number of countries who say this old rule
[00:10:15] dating back to the 1950s need to be overturned and
[00:10:19] new uh nuclear powers need
[00:10:23] to be included. addition to
[00:10:26] Iran, also Egypt and Morocco, Bangladesh are really
[00:10:30] pushing for this agenda
[00:10:33] item to change the composition the IA
[00:10:37] uh bodies. The second agenda item that has been
[00:10:41] uh proposed by Iran and will most likely be discussed on Wednesday
[00:10:45] afternoon is the prohibition of all forms of attacks and threats of
[00:10:48] attacks against nuclear sides and facilities under IA
[00:10:52] safeguards. This directly links to the... uh
[00:10:55] attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran last year in June,
[00:10:59] but also this year, but also Ukrainian attack on
[00:11:03] Russian nuclear facilities, and in
[00:11:06] this agenda item, which will discuss, as I said, most likely
[00:11:10] on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning, there will be a joint
[00:11:14] statement from number of countries, the joint
[00:11:17] statement will be drifted by Iran, Russia and China, but I'm hearing it's
[00:11:21] also supported by other countries like Nissan, Nicaragua,
[00:11:25] South Africa and many other countries
[00:11:27] and this will be the most uh heated discussion I
[00:11:30] think uh here in this hall uh tomorrow
[00:11:34] afternoon or Thursday morning directly linked to the attacks on peaceful
[00:11:38] nuclear facilities in Iran. Right thank you so much
[00:11:42] details have been killed in the latest Saudi air strikes on two yemen
[00:11:46] areas in the southwestern province of Thais. The Yemen Health Ministry
[00:11:50] said two the victims were children. Soudy fighter jets also bombed the
[00:11:54] government. in the khadir district of tires, the province has been a
[00:11:58] focus of Saudi Ara strikes over the past days, meanwile Yemen's armed
[00:12:02] forces launched a large scale missile and drone strikes that heavily damaged
[00:12:06] Saudi Arabia's king Khalid airbase in Hames Mushed, they
[00:12:10] want of broader operations if the Saudi aggression continued.
[00:12:13] Asarullah also said it has captured additional strategic
[00:12:17] islands in southern Red
[00:12:19] Sea.
[00:12:25] Let us now cross over to the port city of Hudaida and talk to our correspondent
[00:12:29] Yayal Bazer. Very good to see you on that beautiful
[00:12:33] background against the red sea. Tell me something, what is
[00:12:37] happening, tell me about the advances the law
[00:12:40] forces in Yemen and the red sea
[00:12:42] coast.
[00:12:47] Hi, since the Yemani forces was able to secure
[00:12:51] the wit sea coastline uh in Yemen.
[00:12:55] Saudi Arabia intensified its air strikes
[00:12:58] against the yemani government uh yesterday we
[00:13:02] witnessed different aggression
[00:13:06] and hostile actions by Saudi Arabia and the Yemani
[00:13:10] governance including those new
[00:13:13] liberated areas like
[00:13:16] Dubab, and also
[00:13:19] in different governates like Saada and those air
[00:13:23] strikes ' was took
[00:13:27] and plaim the lives of civilians
[00:13:31] about three them according to the
[00:13:34] ministry of health were mertered in those
[00:13:38] days tribes and this is a continuous systematic
[00:13:42] aggression by Saudi Arabia according to the Germany
[00:13:45] officials, however also the
[00:13:49] spokes person
[00:13:50] for
[00:13:53] mentioned
[00:13:54] that uh Yeman was able uh to to intercept
[00:13:58] and an air strike was
[00:14:02] planned in the governate and that
[00:14:05] after that successful
[00:14:08] operation the saudi arabia
[00:14:12] strike sava governate by rockets
[00:14:16] instead of war planes even though that
[00:14:19] it is unfortunate news to know that civilian targets in
[00:14:23] cada governated. targeted
[00:14:26] uh
[00:14:27] the the way they targeted it by rockets show that the
[00:14:31] germany on forces air defense is
[00:14:34] being more advanced year by year and they
[00:14:38] are experienced how to to how
[00:14:42] to stop the war planes of Saudi Arabia, it's
[00:14:46] it's really known for the international unity, how
[00:14:50] many arm forces when they confront USA were
[00:14:54] able? to shoot down about
[00:14:56] 24 mq9
[00:15:00] drones and this shows that the Germany
[00:15:03] forces air defense a
[00:15:06] is different level now that could
[00:15:10] could maintain the sovereignty the yeman
[00:15:13] soil the other thing is yeah of course with the
[00:15:17] advancements the ansorla forces liberating different
[00:15:21] towns and cities um across the coast what a defeed
[00:15:25] the people that generally in Yemen, but mostly in those
[00:15:29] liberated
[00:15:29] areas,
[00:15:34] actually even even before the liberation. when the
[00:15:38] descalation phase was
[00:15:40] over uh few months ago when Saudi Arabia
[00:15:44] striked the Sana international airport
[00:15:48] trying to to to prevent the
[00:15:52] Iranian mahan air plane to
[00:15:55] land on Sanha international airport since then the
[00:15:59] descalation phase was over and since then
[00:16:03] Jamanies were feeling pride feeling happy.
[00:16:08] because they they believe that the descalation phase
[00:16:12] was just a phase of silent war on
[00:16:16] yemanis and they wanted the yemani armed forces
[00:16:20] to strike back and now yemani armed
[00:16:23] forces struck back and they were able to liberate
[00:16:27] a massive areas that
[00:16:31] is stretching even more than 6000 square
[00:16:35] kilometers and here's are actually very
[00:16:38] happy, the there was some
[00:16:42] rallies to celebrate the learation
[00:16:46] the sex western districts and when we were down
[00:16:50] in those
[00:16:51] districts liberated
[00:16:54] areas, they were actually saying that they were
[00:16:58] prevented from going to the postline
[00:17:02] and to to be able to fish, but now when the
[00:17:06] yemen forces and the... Allah movement was able to take them
[00:17:09] back to those areas and to liberate them from the
[00:17:12] mercenaries uh they were able to live
[00:17:16] and go into their own water once again
[00:17:19] i it is very hard to
[00:17:22] describe the the sense of
[00:17:25] joy and the sense of bride that
[00:17:29] yemen people feel right now you cannot find anyone in the
[00:17:33] streets who is disappointed by such news.
[00:17:38] Ind I appreciate your reporting press TV's
[00:17:42] correspondent joining us from the port city of Hadaida in
[00:17:45] Yemen. As we have been reporting, protest have
[00:17:49] erupted across several Syrian cities following a sharp increase in
[00:17:53] fuel
[00:17:53] prices.
[00:18:07] "the people want to live. If nothing changes, there will be another
[00:18:11] revolution. These are our demands, and this is our
[00:18:15] right. We did not revolt to remove an oppressor, only to have someone
[00:18:18] even more oppressive take his place. We rose for dignity and for
[00:18:22] everything. We are the ones who put them in power today. We gave our sons
[00:18:26] and shed our blood. Then, when they took power, did they forget us? They forgot us
[00:18:30] and forgot the entire Syrian
[00:18:32] people.
[00:18:36] The Syrian..." regime raised diesel prices by up to 40%
[00:18:40] and petrol prices by 28% on Sunday,
[00:18:44] prompting demonstrators to burn tires and block major
[00:18:47] roads. Protests were reported in Edlib, Aleppo,
[00:18:50] Hama, Derazor and Racca, including along the Damascus and
[00:18:54] Lapo International Highway, the regime has blamed higher global
[00:18:58] energy cost and an overhaul the Banias Refinery for the
[00:19:02] increases. The protest com despite hopes that economic conditions
[00:19:06] would improve following the lift. of US sanctions imposed on
[00:19:09] Syria. The
[00:19:13] Palestinian Health Ministry warns that Gaza's healthcare system is facing an
[00:19:17] imminent threat of collapse due to severe fuel shortages and
[00:19:21] made Israel's ban on the entry of humanitarian eight. According to the ministry,
[00:19:25] fuel reserves across 13 private health facilities in
[00:19:28] Gaza are close to total depletion, threatening to stop critical
[00:19:32] surgical maternity and trauma services for the wounded. The
[00:19:36] Ministry. that private health facilities have been informed that their fuel
[00:19:40] supplies will be cut off as of September the 19th, which will have
[00:19:44] catastrophic consequences for the patients. It called an international
[00:19:48] organizations to intervene immediately, expressing that ensuring
[00:19:52] access to healthcare is a right guaranteed by international laws
[00:19:55] and conventions. The ministery added that Gaza's hospitals are also
[00:19:59] facing di shortage of oxygen after 22
[00:20:03] out of 34 oxygen plants seized operations. The minister.
[00:20:07] had previously announced that
[00:20:08] 20
[00:20:13] another palestinian has been killed by Israeli forces in the west bank as the regime
[00:20:17] intensified this crackdown on Palestinians across the
[00:20:21] territory. According to the Palestinian sources, the victim is a 54 year
[00:20:24] old man was shot by Israeli forces during raid in Albera near
[00:20:28] Bramalah. Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers raided a palestinian house a
[00:20:32] town north of Tolkarum, forcing the residents out and turning the
[00:20:36] house into a military. outpost, violence against Palestinians in the
[00:20:40] West Bank has escalated since Israel began its genocidal
[00:20:44] war on Gaza in October
[00:20:45] 2023. In the US,
[00:20:49] increasing position to the ruling Republican Party is likely to
[00:20:52] translate into a midterm election win for the Democrats in the
[00:20:56] House of Representatives. That means a likely third impeachment of
[00:21:00] President Trump, but it's likely that he would ultimately be acquitted by
[00:21:04] the Senate. Ramin Masay has more from
[00:21:07] Washington. On the first Tuesday
[00:21:10] in on the first Tuesday in November the United States will hold their
[00:21:14] mid-term elections and by Wednesday President Donald Trump could
[00:21:18] be facing his third. "if the democrats
[00:21:22] win control the house of representatives, their leader has said they would
[00:21:26] not rule out pursuing impeachment on day one,
[00:21:29] which is what many anti-trump americans are hoping for, because it's
[00:21:33] necessary for everybody, we're all affected by it, not
[00:21:37] just americans, all over the world, we're being affected by his
[00:21:41] insane policies, his
[00:21:44] horrible actions, his lack of caring, his
[00:21:48] lies, he should have been out." the oval office years ago, he's
[00:21:52] only there because he wants to avoid to jail,
[00:21:56] he's there for himself, and uh, we need to
[00:22:00] have a person who thinks of the greater good,
[00:22:03] not themselves. United States Representative Al Greene
[00:22:07] has already formally filed impeachment charges in the house
[00:22:11] over Trump's violation the War Powers Act of
[00:22:14] 1973 by going to war without
[00:22:17] approval from Congress. However, he's not getting many
[00:22:21] Democrats to support his efforts. The impeachment
[00:22:25] is not predicated upon having a certain number of people in Congress or a
[00:22:29] certain number of people to vote for. Uh, the rules allow any member
[00:22:33] of Congress to bring articles before the house. And what is
[00:22:37] interesting, the democrats who may criticize me are not
[00:22:41] going to say or they're not going to deny that the president has
[00:22:44] committed impeachable offenses. So if you won't deny that he's
[00:22:48] committing impeachable offenses. then you should honor your oath of office and
[00:22:52] vote to impeach. Others have called for Trump's impeachment over
[00:22:56] his genocidal threat to wipe out the whole Iranian
[00:22:59] civilization, for ordering many war crimes such as the
[00:23:03] Minab Girl school massacre, for attacking protected
[00:23:06] civilian infrastructure, for indiscriminate attacks on
[00:23:10] civilian neighborhoods and more. The Democrats
[00:23:14] are expected to retake the house where only majority is
[00:23:18] needed to impeach. even if they also flip the
[00:23:21] Senate, they are not going to be close to gaining the 67
[00:23:25] vote super majority, which is required to actually convict
[00:23:29] a president. That means any impeachment of Trump will
[00:23:33] likely remain only symbolic once again. Other top
[00:23:36] law-makers have demanded Trump's impeachment over his daily
[00:23:40] fascistic persecution of Latino-Americans and other
[00:23:43] immigrants, his economic support for tariffs, and his
[00:23:47] remodeling the East wing the White House. Ramin Masahari,
[00:23:51] press TV, Washington DC. and with
[00:23:54] that we come to the end of this news bulletin. Thank you so much for staying with us on

[00:24:21] Mahsa Tahiri was born in 1993 in Araq,
[00:24:25] Iran. Her life journey took her from simple room in her family home
[00:24:28] in Iraq to laboratories and advanced scientific research projects in
[00:24:32] Tehran. She began studying pure chemistry at Iraq
[00:24:36] University and continued her studies in Zahn for her master's degree
[00:24:39] and eventually became a PhD student in physical chemistry at
[00:24:43] Tarbi at Modadas University in Tehran where she also
[00:24:47] taught and worked on research projects. but
[00:24:50] behind the image of a brilliant young researcher was young woman
[00:24:54] with very ordinary and deeply personal world. she loved
[00:24:58] dolls and gave each them a name on her desk. she even kept a
[00:25:02] two-sided doll that reflected her mood, one smiling down for when she
[00:25:06] was happy and one sad side for when she was feeling
[00:25:09] down. in the final years of her life, maha's
[00:25:13] path took a different direction. she had once considered leaving iran including
[00:25:17] moving to Norway, but she chose to stay and... devote her scientific
[00:25:21] abilities to research projects in her own country. She worked
[00:25:25] on projects related to missile technology, including heat resistance
[00:25:29] and radar absorbing materials and coding. She was only
[00:25:32] 32 years old. In March 2026, during Israeli and
[00:25:36] American attacks on Tehran, Massa was killed at her home. Her injuries were so
[00:25:40] severe that her family could identify her body only through DNA
[00:25:44] testing 10 days after her death. Her body was taken back to Iraq
[00:25:48] and buried in the city cemetery. for marters a sight that her and
[00:25:52] sister who loved her dolls, shared jokes with her brother, once
[00:25:55] dreamed of living abroad and had life that could have stretched decades
[00:25:59] into the future. what remains of that, are few
[00:26:03] awards, memories
[00:26:04] and a small piece of metal from one of her scientific projects, reminder
[00:26:08] of young woman who wanted to use science to help advance her
[00:26:11] country. her name was maha, she was young, she was
[00:26:15] scientist, and yet when she was killed, her death was ignored in the
[00:26:18] international media, no headlines, no newspaper profiles, no
[00:26:22] sustained coverage the young scientists whose life was cut
[00:26:26] short, her death was met with complete
[00:26:29] silence.
