[00:04:08] in [00:04:12] a a [00:04:17] hello again, let us begin the news review segment of this news [00:04:20] bulletin. ibron's top security [00:04:24] official has slammed US president Donald Trump's contradictory positions on [00:04:28] negotiations with Iran, saying His remarks are aimed at swaying global [00:04:32] energy prices. Secretary of [00:04:34] of Iran Supreme National Security Council Major General Mohsen Rasai [00:04:38] made the comment [00:04:38] in a social media post. Razi said the world should not be distracted by the [00:04:42] US president's mixed signals from no [00:04:45] of negotiations of to were ready to talk, stressing that [00:04:47] the stakes around oil and [00:04:49] the straights have changed. Rezay was alluding [00:04:52] to Iran's full control over the [00:04:53] a straight of formus and Yemen's army, yemeny armys control [00:04:56] of the [00:04:56] of bubble mandab straight, both of which vital energy. export roots [00:05:00] to global markets. Rey stressed that there will be no talks until [00:05:04] Iran's conditions are met and this position is definitive. [00:05:08] His comments came after Trump said the US [00:05:11] of is open to [00:05:11] a engaging with Iran. a peace agreement, Trump's remarks contradicted his [00:05:15] earlier statements in which he said talks between Iran and the US were [00:05:19] neither taking place nor scheduled alleging that the straight of her mous [00:05:22] was open. Well, I'm going to discuss all of [00:05:26] that with my guest in this news review programs [00:05:30] in house analyst joining us from arterban studios and also Mr. [00:05:34] Ehsan Khusan Najad journalist and political commentator joining us from [00:05:38] Frankfurt. Very good to have you both on this news review program. Yes, [00:05:41] and I'm going to start. conversation with you, let us start with the immediate [00:05:45] issue: trump says the US is open to engaging with Iran [00:05:49] while only recently saying that no talks was happening between Iran and the [00:05:53] US and nothing was to be scheduled even anytime soon, how should we [00:05:57] interpret these apparently contradictory [00:06:06] question, we have been actually observing such [00:06:09] contradictory comments from the president the [00:06:13] US in the last months from the [00:06:17] beginning the actually, I would [00:06:19] say 12 day war, where these [00:06:23] actually comments culminated, and [00:06:27] this is actually a strategy by the US president [00:06:30] according to the situation in which he [00:06:34] is, and he is actually trying [00:06:37] to compensate for [00:06:40] the actually defeats. he has experienced in [00:06:44] the battlefield, so now the [00:06:48] us and he is convinced that a full [00:06:52] actually range military attack on Iran does [00:06:56] not work anymore, this is what has already [00:06:59] been actually experienced, tried, and it doesn't work [00:07:03] anymore, so what can we do actually [00:07:06] to control the situation in our [00:07:10] favor, and this is actually... what he is doing and [00:07:14] i have to say that this is not a one-sided [00:07:17] strategy, we can also see [00:07:20] something - [00:07:23] similar on the Iranian side, on the Iranian side we also have [00:07:27] this strategy of good cp and bad and [00:07:31] there we also see some sometimes contradictory comment, [00:07:35] some the Iranian officials - try to [00:07:39] actually state that we are ready to go back. [00:07:42] negotiations and on the other hand, the badc [00:07:46] strategy is to say, we will not do that, we will not [00:07:50] submit to the us actually [00:07:53] demands until all our conditions are fires, so it's [00:07:57] not full, so and [00:08:01] also controlling the oil oil price, all market [00:08:05] and also the internal situation like the approval [00:08:09] the president Trump before the midterm election. [00:08:13] in their own hand, right? Mayam, um, [00:08:17] General Mosan Re is saying that the world should not be distracted by the [00:08:20] American mixed signals, um, um, and that energy [00:08:24] prices, he says the energy prices are part the calculation [00:08:27] always, how significant is the oil market dimension [00:08:31] in understanding Washington's current position? What Iran [00:08:35] understood very early on was that the only way to stop the US [00:08:39] regime from committing aggressions is actually to make sure that it's pays a heavy [00:08:43] price as result because of course Iran saw that it was in in the [00:08:47] middle of negotiations when the country was targeted twice [00:08:51] uh and thousands of civilians were murdered as result so what [00:08:54] Iran did uh was to make sure that the price of brent [00:08:58] goes higher and now we have uh for instance for today the branch [00:09:02] price has exceeded [00:09:04] $1.7 addition to that price also there's [00:09:08] the price of insurance because before the US is really [00:09:11] aggression most recent US is really aggression on Iran because we know there has been [00:09:15] two in less than year uh the price [00:09:19] of insurance was about five cents per barrel uh but [00:09:23] as result of this aggression as result of uh Iran [00:09:26] actually enforcing its uh policies over the straight of form was which is its [00:09:30] own territorial waters and uh targeting ships that [00:09:34] were uh actually choosing the unauthorized route [00:09:38] uh then there is heavier price to pay for insurance so from five cents [00:09:42] is it went to $11 uh and a half, which is a of course [00:09:46] huge difference, it will also add to the price of brand uh, [00:09:50] and then of course that would translate higher gas prices for [00:09:54] Americans, it would also transport translate to [00:09:58] higher transportation prices and the price of everything, including [00:10:01] food uh is going to go higher, of course we know that as [00:10:05] result of Iran's exercise of control over the straight of form was, there [00:10:09] were lot of American farmers who were not able. to uh [00:10:13] secure fertilizers for their crops, also adding to [00:10:17] the price of food, and of course a big portion of Trump's [00:10:21] voters, actually, and Iran has allowed different way. [00:10:25] for it, Iran is basically saying that you have to abide by our conditions, [00:10:29] and just as major general Mosen Razali said, [00:10:32] until the U.S. abides by Iran's conditions, there is not going to be any [00:10:36] talks period, so Iran had already laid out its conditions that the [00:10:40] US of course has to pay reparations for this unprovoked aggression [00:10:44] against Iran, that the US has to respect Iran's sovereignty, it has [00:10:47] to, and of course that would include Iran's territorial waters [00:10:51] and in the Islamabad Mou it was [00:10:55] noted that Iran gets to actually [00:10:58] decide how to uh basically the administration is on [00:11:02] Iran and among the coastal countries and it has to be of course based [00:11:06] on both international rules and the sovereign rules the countries which [00:11:10] is exactly what Iran did. Iran set up a Persian gulf straight [00:11:13] authority uh to make sure that these vessels that cross the straight of [00:11:17] hormos are not used to arm American bases and [00:11:21] for Iran to suffer the same tragedy a dead unfortunately. Right. [00:11:25] Yes, that brings us to the straight of hormoos. Iran is now explicitly [00:11:28] linking the situation in the straight of hormos with the straight of Bobble [00:11:32] Mandup and the positioning the Ansara forces there. How [00:11:36] important do you think the combination these two factors are going to [00:11:39] be in drawing out the right conclusion to this [00:11:43] conflict and this war? It was [00:11:47] actually clear from the beginning the war that these two [00:11:50] strategic points are very important [00:11:54] and have very crucial actually role in the [00:11:58] ending the war, so how the war comes to an end, [00:12:01] and actually the reason that it has [00:12:05] taken so long that Iran actually, [00:12:09] with the help of ansarullah managed [00:12:13] finally to control the babal mandas other [00:12:16] situations, so Iran had to overcome many [00:12:19] other issues before reaching this point, [00:12:23] and if these actually problems hadn't been there, [00:12:27] we would have seen the current situation much [00:12:30] earlier, so in effect [00:12:34] it's it has turned from actually [00:12:37] um military war to [00:12:41] a financial war, it's an economic war, and [00:12:44] the key point to win the war is resilience, [00:12:48] also then that means the nation or the side which [00:12:52] is more resilient with fine actually win [00:12:56] this war at least before we enter a third [00:13:00] world war, so this is another story, and the [00:13:04] control these two actually [00:13:07] strategic points, geographic points is not [00:13:10] just actually limited to [00:13:14] geography, but also to the economic side the aspect, by [00:13:17] controlling these two points, Iran and its allies are able [00:13:21] actually to impose economic... [00:13:25] pressure on the US and its allies, and [00:13:28] if Iran can keep its actually [00:13:31] internal difficulties, the hardship that people are [00:13:35] going through, the financial hardships for [00:13:39] quite a time, it is actually hope that the [00:13:42] us and its allies will back up, back [00:13:46] off, and actually the war will be one by Iran and [00:13:50] stalus, right, may obviously the control [00:13:53] the straight of... mandab is giving Iran more confidence now [00:13:57] general [00:13:58] is saying that there will be no negotiations until all of Iran's [00:14:01] conditions are going to be met by the American side and that is [00:14:05] definitive position. What does that tell us about Teran's [00:14:08] assessment of it bargaining its bargaining power at this [00:14:12] particular moment in time? I mean we have a situation where the [00:14:15] US has used all the options that it had within as [00:14:19] disposal so we're talking about the cases of extreme sanctions in Iran [00:14:23] we're talking about coup attempts. in the country that of course failed [00:14:27] uh we're talking about more than two military [00:14:30] aggressions against the country in the middle of negotiations a single year and [00:14:34] we saw that every single way failed, but for Iran there are actually very [00:14:38] many options and of course because Iran has stood uh [00:14:42] with the resistance front to begin [00:14:44] with uh then I mean this it has already shown to its allies [00:14:48] and the region that basically we're all in this together and of course they have understood [00:14:52] that for many years, we have seen how the [00:14:55] ansarullah resistance, [00:14:57] hezballah resistance, shabi, all these resistant groups that were [00:15:01] actually created in response to American [00:15:04] Hejamonic uh interventions, they have all [00:15:08] been working together to make sure that the region is safer because they [00:15:11] understand that if any one country is attacked by the US and nobody [00:15:15] else is safe, and of course they understand that there is the [00:15:19] uh plots, there's the the uh the plot the bigger [00:15:23] Israel, the greater Israel are trying to the you know the US is trying to [00:15:27] push uh to actually enforce this hegemony over the region and so [00:15:31] that's a threat for everybody in the region and in fact it's not only a threat for muslims, it's [00:15:35] a threat for christians and Jews as well. and so they have been working [00:15:39] together in the straight of hormos uh controlling about [00:15:43] fourth the the world oil traffic and with bobl [00:15:46] mandab about fifth of world oil traffic uh to make sure [00:15:50] that anybody who commits an aggression on the region any these [00:15:54] nations the region will have to pay a price therefore pushing [00:15:58] Americans out the region and of course with their attacks [00:16:02] on the US and the allies that are the US [00:16:05] proxies basically that have facilitated US attacks on Iran [00:16:09] and other neighboring countries that they are also pushing out [00:16:13] American bases outside the region so that all these people [00:16:16] could enjoy peace and security together. Right, yes [00:16:20] and final question, ultimately, where do all these latest [00:16:24] developments leave us, are we actually moving towards um some sort [00:16:28] of um dialogue opening, diplomatic opening between Iran and the [00:16:32] US, or are both sides just trying to gain more [00:16:35] leverage while preparing. another round of [00:16:38] confrontation, I [00:16:42] believe diplomatic actually [00:16:44] negotiation is not [00:16:48] so actually easy to achieve, because it's not [00:16:51] just about what the US and what Iran [00:16:55] wants, but also what Israel wants, [00:16:58] as your colleague actually mentioned, [00:17:02] a big part of this actually conflict [00:17:06] has... roots in Israel's interest [00:17:10] and I personally believe as long [00:17:13] as Israel [00:17:15] actually insists on his own [00:17:19] interests and this plan the great [00:17:21] Israel is on the table, such [00:17:25] negotiations are not easy to achieve and [00:17:29] if they are they will be temporary, so in long [00:17:33] term I i don't see actually an end to [00:17:37] such. unless the issue of Israel is [00:17:40] resolved in some way. Mr. [00:17:43] Hasan. Indeed the pleasure to have you both on this news [00:17:47] review program. That brings us to the conclusion of this news review [00:17:51] segment, but of course a few moments I will be back with more [00:17:53] news.

[00:20:14] our correspondent has interviewed former ia chief [00:20:18] inspector yusiri abushadi on the margins [00:20:21] the conference the international atomic energy [00:20:24] agency in vienna and it's about Austria's move to [00:20:28] revoke the visa of Iranian nuclear chief. let us take a [00:20:32] listen [00:20:36] very bad for Austria affairs. first of all, I'm very unhappy really that this [00:20:40] is the first time to happen in Austria that they withdraw a [00:20:43] visa for political reason and not [00:20:46] allow the head the mission and the [00:20:50] vice president of Iran to come to attend the [00:20:54] general conference, this something didn't happen except [00:20:58] in New York when the US [00:21:00] sometimes prevented [00:21:03] some politician to come to the United [00:21:07] Nation which is in violation of all the international [00:21:11] laws, the interpretation the Austrian [00:21:14] delegate was actually very poor to [00:21:17] say that the... he checked with the security [00:21:21] council for the sanctions and there was [00:21:25] a misunderstanding the way they [00:21:28] think that there is a sanction which is not [00:21:32] and that is why they took this decision that was very [00:21:35] weak the Iranian and actually the russian [00:21:39] delegation replied to that and of course [00:21:42] denounce the false declaration the [00:21:46] Austria they assess that there is a sanction which is [00:21:50] Actually there was no sanction, sanction ended in October last [00:21:53] year formally, and there was no [00:21:57] really clear reason except political pressure to [00:22:01] prevent the delegate from coming, and that give very [00:22:05] bad image about Austria, and Austria is [00:22:09] not just follow to follow what US [00:22:13] says and it should have [00:22:15] independent. At least three [00:22:19] civilians have been. killed in the latest soudy air strikes on two yemen areas [00:22:23] in the southwestern province of Thais, the Yemani health ministry said [00:22:26] two the victims were children. Saudi fighter jets also bombed the [00:22:30] government in the khadir district in Thais. The province [00:22:34] has been and has seened a focus of Saudi air strikes the [00:22:38] past days. Meanwile Yemen's armed forces launched a large scale [00:22:42] missile and drone strikes that heavily damaged Saudi Arabia's king [00:22:45] Khalid airbase in Hames Mushaid. They won the brother.

[00:23:13] We spoke directly with the frontline fighters who led the [00:23:17] operation. "We have been receiving distress [00:23:21] calls from the citizens for over 4 years, they have no [00:23:25] electricity, the heat is literally killing them, no gas and no [00:23:29] decent living conditions. They were even prevented from [00:23:32] accessing these [00:23:33] coasts. [00:23:38] We clashed with the enemy, the treachous mercenary who sold his honor for the Saudi [00:23:42] Rial by the will of God Almighty, the confrontation [00:23:46] unfolded beyond anything we could expect or imagine. [00:23:50] fled like animals fleeing from lions. it was an [00:23:53] unprecedented victory and we thank God almighty for [00:23:56] it. for the [00:24:00] mercenaries, fear took control, they ran, [00:24:04] they tried escape and [00:24:05] withdraw, but ended up [00:24:09] colliding with one another, dying in chaotic [00:24:13] accident in the panic. we captured [00:24:16] spoils of war we had never even dreamed of and secured items.

For these soldiers, [00:25:00] securing the western coast is only the beginning, vowing to press [00:25:04] forward until every remaining governate is liberated, their [00:25:08] momentum on the ground has already rewritten [00:25:11] them, [00:25:14] over 500 square kilometers are swept in just days, the speed of this [00:25:18] advance shows that... that years of coalition presence [00:25:22] collapsed the moment forces pressed [00:25:25] forward. press [00:25:27] tv. that brings us [00:25:31] to the conclusion of this news bulletin. thank you so much for staying with us on Press [00:25:35] TV. [00:25:57] War takes lives, but sometimes it takes something even [00:26:01] more cruel that... chance to say goodbye. this is story of [00:26:05] a boy who never came home following a bloody [00:26:08] unprovoked war waged by the US in Israel against [00:26:11] Iran. on the morning of February 28th, [00:26:15] 2026, seven-year-old Makon Nasiri left home for school just [00:26:19] as he always did. It was his birthday, his mother helped him put on his blue [00:26:23] jacket to keep him warm in the cool morning air. She was preparing [00:26:27] Makan's favorite food for lunch. With a [00:26:30] quiet excitement of a... first grade boy, he walked into Shajar [00:26:34] Tayba elementary school, never knowing it would be the last time anyone [00:26:38] would see him. At 11:15 am, tomahaw crew's missiles [00:26:42] struck the school within seconds, classrooms collapsed, walls [00:26:46] crumbled, the sound of children, reading and laughing were replaced [00:26:50] by dust, fire and silence, rescue workers for [00:26:53] days, parents search with their own hands, one by one the [00:26:57] victims were found, families were finally able to bury their [00:27:00] children. but one child never came home, [00:27:04] mokon Nasiri, his father searched through the rubble from the very first [00:27:08] afternoon, his uncle together with relative spent 46 [00:27:11] days searching every corner the destroyed school and the [00:27:15] surrounding fields. more than 100 DNA tests were carried [00:27:19] out. Investigators searched for anything, a strand of hair, the [00:27:22] smallest trace that could bring certainty to a grieving [00:27:26] family. Nothing. The only things ever found were crumpled blue [00:27:30] jacket and a single small trainer. discovered far from the [00:27:33] school after the blast had thrown it into a nearby orchard. [00:27:37] experts later concluded that the American missile had struck [00:27:41] directly where Macon had been standing. The explosion was so [00:27:45] devastating that no identifiable remains were left [00:27:48] behind. For most parents, grief begins when they lay [00:27:52] their child to rest. Macon's family was [00:27:56] denied even that final act of love. They were forced to bury empty [00:28:00] grave, a grave with nobody beneath it. Only a name carved [00:28:03] into stone. Even today, Malkan's mother returns to the ruins the [00:28:07] school. Story reminds us that the deepest wound of war [00:28:11] is not only the lives it takes. Sometimes the greatest cruelty is [00:28:15] leaving mother with nowhere to hold her final [00:28:18] goodbye. [00:28:28] For bombs stop falling, casualty figures are tallied, names are added. [00:28:32] to lists, but numbers cannot measure the lives that unravel [00:28:36] after the explosions. wars count those killed by [00:28:39] missiles, they rarely count those who survived them and [00:28:43] may later die of grief. yes, you heard that right, [00:28:47] grief. 31 year old sayid became [00:28:51] one of those. in the early hours of march 26th, a US [00:28:55] is really strike reduced her family home in asf as hapto neighborhood [00:28:59] to rubble. her husband, local football coach, [00:29:02] age five and three were killed, age five and three [00:29:06] were killed, around them, nine homes were destroyed and 24 [00:29:10] people died from the US Israely attack. Alham survived, for [00:29:14] seven hours, rescuers searched through concrete and twisted [00:29:18] steel before pulling her from beneath the depre. the fallen [00:29:22] sofa had shielded her head from the collapsing building, but her [00:29:26] injuries were severe. her greatest wounds, however, were [00:29:30] invisible. weeks later, a video at home standing on the [00:29:34] ruins of her home spread across Iran, in her hands was [00:29:37] hundred node rescued from the rubble, one her young [00:29:41] son had written before the attack. As she read it, [00:29:45] her voice faltered, around her lay the remains the [00:29:49] life she had built. Her father says that after losing her [00:29:53] husband.
