[00:00:03] of
[00:00:06] of
[00:00:21] of
[00:00:26] of
[00:00:26] of
[00:00:32] Welcome back,
[00:00:33] of today we had breaking news coming
[00:00:35] in a Press TV's correspondent in the occupied West Bang
[00:00:39] Hamed was detained after weeks
[00:00:41] of of settler violence against her and her family members
[00:00:45] near the city of Bethlehem as that happened, it
[00:00:48] showed a broader pattern of was what has been happening to the
[00:00:52] Palestinian families um in the occupied West Bank and
[00:00:55] journalists that have been detained by those rudy forces after they have
[00:00:59] been um going through different phases of
[00:01:03] violence with the Israeli settlers which is always supported
[00:01:06] by the raadi military and um
[00:01:09] of after of this detention this brings the number
[00:01:12] of of the palestinian journalists who have been detained according to an israri rights group the
[00:01:17] of group of
[00:01:18] of betsalem um to 61 with nahmed now we are going to bring you
[00:01:22] more details about naro as we um
[00:01:26] of understand about them but uh before that let me bring in uh
[00:01:30] Press
[00:01:30] of TV's newsroom director, Marziah Hashemi to discuss
[00:01:34] this matter further, Marziah, it's an honor having you on with us,
[00:01:38] um, as you have been also experiencing detention by
[00:01:42] the American forces when you were visiting the states,
[00:01:45] please um tell us about how you have felt when
[00:01:49] you heard the news about Nag's
[00:01:51] detention. Thank you, Kirash, it's good to
[00:01:54] be joining you, but I wish it was under other
[00:01:57] circumstances, of course. It's uh always
[00:02:01] hard to hear about any journalists uh being detained or
[00:02:05] being killed, even more difficult, especially
[00:02:09] when we look named who such a professional
[00:02:13] journalist and would go out and try to
[00:02:16] show the reality on the ground as close as she
[00:02:20] could, and we know the very tough
[00:02:23] situation that journalists and Palestinians in general
[00:02:27] under right now in the West Bank and especially. as a
[00:02:31] journalist, but she never shied away for
[00:02:34] trying to show the truth. she's
[00:02:37] talked to kids who had been in jail, women who've been in
[00:02:41] jail, men who had been in jail and beaten and
[00:02:45] tortured, just showing what is happening. we know, as you've
[00:02:49] just said in the last few weeks especially, that we
[00:02:53] have seen an unbelievable amount
[00:02:56] of settlers themselves and of course there's no different.
[00:03:00] settlers themselves, and of course there's no difference really between the IOF and the
[00:03:04] settlers, the
[00:03:05] of IOF standing there, and the settlers are doing whatever they
[00:03:08] want, uh, torturing people, destroying
[00:03:11] their homes,
[00:03:12] of strawing them out
[00:03:16] of of their homes and basically total lawlessness, and that's the reality
[00:03:18] of the zionist regime, and yes, it's very, very
[00:03:21] painful, as a journalist says, I had an experience, of
[00:03:25] course, it was different than
[00:03:27] of than under the IOF, "and not
[00:03:31] really knowing where Naga is
[00:03:33] of right now is also very, very difficult for
[00:03:36] of us, especially when we look at the the last three years
[00:03:39] especially, since the of course the beginning
[00:03:43] of the last round of genocide in Gaza, we know that journalists have
[00:03:47] been continually targeted,
[00:03:50] of killed, hunted down, there were several journalists who I was
[00:03:54] in touch with, and we would talk or send
[00:03:58] messages every few days." uh who were in Gaza who
[00:04:02] are no longer around, it has
[00:04:04] been a very, very painful three years for journalism in
[00:04:07] general, and I think the
[00:04:09] in whole world needs to pay attention to what this means, when
[00:04:13] you're not allowed to show the truth on the ground, when an
[00:04:16] entity can do whatever they want, they can arrest you,
[00:04:20] kidnap you, kill you, torture you, and still continue
[00:04:24] doing the same thing the next day, I think we as an international
[00:04:28] community in general have to... look at ourselves and think about
[00:04:32] where the world is going and and when are people
[00:04:36] going to totally stand up and stop it? we have seen of
[00:04:39] course a growing number of people around the world
[00:04:42] of who have become
[00:04:43] of more
[00:04:43] in aware
[00:04:44] of the many crimes
[00:04:45] of the zionist regime and the
[00:04:47] of American regime and its support for it. however, it still
[00:04:51] continues. think each and every person has to ask him or
[00:04:55] herself, what can I do to stop it? it's not just
[00:04:59] reporting on it. "naga is
[00:05:03] mother of three children, and it's interesting,
[00:05:07] she's been
[00:05:07] of covering, as I said, um, mothers who have been arrested before
[00:05:11] being separated from their..." kids, kids being separated from their
[00:05:15] parents, and now tonight Naga is
[00:05:18] separated from her husband and three
[00:05:21] children. is exactly right. according
[00:05:24] to Muhammad alziah, as we were
[00:05:28] doing an interview with him, he's a writer and political
[00:05:32] analyst in the city of Ramala, and he was in touch with
[00:05:35] Naga's husband, um, the level the
[00:05:39] violence against Naga in the past few weeks.
[00:05:43] "and also against the whole Palestinian communities in the West Bank
[00:05:47] has been so intense that they thought of it as something normal, they
[00:05:50] couldn't understand that there is a connection between Settler violence
[00:05:54] and what might come next and was the detention of
[00:05:58] Nag. The question that I had was something that you also mentioned,
[00:06:02] this case tells us something about the relationship between the settler
[00:06:05] violence and when it comes to the IOF, your thoughts on that
[00:06:09] Marsia, definitely inseparable." " first and
[00:06:12] foremost we have to realize that all male and
[00:06:16] females um 18 years
[00:06:19] old, they have to serve in the IOF, it's a
[00:06:23] rule by the zionist regime, and after that they're allowed to carry their
[00:06:27] guns,
[00:06:28] and basically they're all part the IOF, so
[00:06:32] really there's not a distinction so much, and we have seen
[00:06:36] time and time again, whether we're talking about we look at what happened
[00:06:39] in alsamask continuous.
[00:06:43] we'll see the settlers going in being surrounded by IOF
[00:06:46] solders protecting them that they can
[00:06:50] defile that holy site. We see time and time
[00:06:54] again, we have footage of basically IOF
[00:06:57] soldiers standing by while these
[00:07:01] settlers go in and throw out
[00:07:04] Palestinians from their own homes or from their land. We
[00:07:08] have seen them um light olive trees of fire.
[00:07:13] um, while the IOF soldiers are looking, so yeah,
[00:07:17] there's no separation there,
[00:07:20] unfortunately pressure that the Palestinian
[00:07:23] journalisture that the Palestinian journalists work
[00:07:27] under, it is like nothing else, it is absolutely
[00:07:31] torturous, we know the situation in Gaza, it's just hard to
[00:07:35] even still talk about what goes on, there still as
[00:07:38] journalists are still being targeted, but the west bank...
[00:07:42] "we have to to realize ever since October of
[00:07:46] 2023, the situation in the West Bank has continually
[00:07:50] deteriorated, and what we're seeing now is very, very
[00:07:54] aggressive move to usurp more land, more
[00:07:58] palestinian land, to create more restrictions, to basically create
[00:08:02] hell again, another Nanakba so the Palestinians can
[00:08:05] leave, so journalists when they're trying to cover this and show the
[00:08:09] reality and inform the world of..." is
[00:08:12] going on, they're up against unbelievable
[00:08:16] pressure, stress, intimidation, and we know it's checkpoint
[00:08:20] after checkpoint that they have to deal with.
[00:08:24] Naga was close to Bethlehem a
[00:08:27] checkpoint, and she was taken
[00:08:30] there. Um, so far we have no
[00:08:33] information why they took her, but we do know that they
[00:08:37] were intimidated, as they are intimidated by anyone who
[00:08:41] shows the truth, and I said before, Naga has documented
[00:08:45] the crimes the settlers, um, especially
[00:08:49] in the last couple of months, as they have
[00:08:52] increased their aggression against the
[00:08:55] Palestinians, so of course any journalists there who
[00:08:59] reflects the truth, it's a threat, and
[00:09:02] again I repeat that this is also mother, but despite that
[00:09:06] and knowing the threats, she continually reports because she
[00:09:10] wants the truth to get out. because it's only with the greater
[00:09:14] awareness of what is happening inside of occupied
[00:09:18] Palestine that hopefully eventually
[00:09:21] that the Palestinian territory stream
[00:09:25] terrorists z stream terrorists
[00:09:28] zinanists regime that continually target people
[00:09:32] every day.
[00:09:35] Absolutely. These were the words by Mazen Gumsi,
[00:09:39] university professor in the city of Bethlehem.
[00:09:42] nearly two hours ago when he said, um, this is actually
[00:09:46] very good sign of desperation by the Israri regime, as they
[00:09:50] do not want the truth to come out anymore, and it is showing
[00:09:54] us that the end the zionist regime is much
[00:09:58] nearer than we expected. definitely, there's
[00:10:02] a great sign of desperation from the Zionist regime
[00:10:06] and from their American supporters from the American regime that
[00:10:10] in in this region, because they have not
[00:10:13] reached their goals that they have been aiming for, yes they
[00:10:17] have created havoc, especially the zianist regime in
[00:10:21] Gaza, and yes they have killed... so many
[00:10:25] people, but but really their goal
[00:10:29] was total control of Gaza, do they have
[00:10:33] total control? um, have they been able to stop
[00:10:36] Hamas? we look at in the west bank and the
[00:10:40] situation that is happening, greater and greater
[00:10:43] blowback by the Palestinians who are getting tired, parents
[00:10:47] who their kids are going to school, they don't know if they're going to
[00:10:50] return, because the regime can just decide to pick up
[00:10:55] their sons and daughters and we know the situation inside
[00:10:58] the zianist jails, torture cells
[00:11:02] and what has happened, so yes they
[00:11:06] are desperate, and before it's quite interesting kyorash,
[00:11:09] because both the zinanis regime and the American
[00:11:12] regime, um, they always try to at least
[00:11:16] hide their oppression or try to put it under, well the
[00:11:20] zinast regime of course it's always their defending
[00:11:23] themselves from terrorism, and of course the American
[00:11:27] regime is spreading democracy, but the reality
[00:11:30] is now, like both regimes, um, basically, if you want to say, their covers have
[00:11:34] been blown, because the reality is spreading
[00:11:38] across the world of what they really stand for,
[00:11:42] and of course it's not humanity, it's not human life, it's
[00:11:45] oppression, it's usur userping people's rights
[00:11:49] and usurping the resources of others, no matter the
[00:11:53] price that others will have to... pay and in the case the Zionist regime, it's
[00:11:57] a continual colonial expansionist project that we see what
[00:12:01] is happening now in Lebanon and what they are doing in the southern part
[00:12:05] of Lebanon, also destroying homes, um,
[00:12:09] having people this place, threatening every day
[00:12:13] with drones land, and we see the same thing in Syria, we saw
[00:12:16] Netanyahu just a couple of days ago going inside of
[00:12:20] Syria and looking as if he own the
[00:12:23] whole the whole area, this zinis
[00:12:27] project has to be stopped, but yes,
[00:12:31] it's obviously that it knows that
[00:12:33] it is under pressure, and it knows its days are numbered,
[00:12:37] however, when regimes days are numbered, it's
[00:12:41] they also quite dangerous because they're quite desperate as we are
[00:12:45] seeing from the zionist regime, and continually
[00:12:48] increasing their threats against the Palestinians and continually
[00:12:52] threatening the southern Leban. especially
[00:12:56] and of course uh they try to continue threaten
[00:13:00] Iran, but now they're letting their their
[00:13:03] master or the US try to do the bidding
[00:13:07] for them because they were no match for Iran, so now they're
[00:13:11] concentrating more on the Palestinians and the Lebanese, and the US
[00:13:14] is supposed to be concentrating more on Iran, but of course Iran
[00:13:18] has been quite strong and answering them, so it's this, they're standing
[00:13:22] back, however, yes, it's desperation. their true
[00:13:25] faces are being shown, and this is an opportunity
[00:13:29] for civil society, global civil
[00:13:32] society to expose their crimes more and
[00:13:36] more and to demand an end, an
[00:13:40] actual end to this genocide, an actual
[00:13:44] ind to thef of land, the actual end of
[00:13:47] journalists being threatened and being killed and not having
[00:13:51] any kind of ramifications for these crimes. that they're
[00:13:55] committing, that's exactly right, so this
[00:13:59] actually is not an isolated incident, mariia, this
[00:14:03] fits into a broader pattern that we have been witnessing in the past
[00:14:07] nearly three years where the Palestinian journalists are being
[00:14:11] apprehended without any given reasons
[00:14:14] whatsoever by the IOF and the are um they have been under
[00:14:18] violence by this very settlers, what should the international
[00:14:22] community and different governments be doing,
[00:14:26] uh in with regards to this, well let me just start off with what you
[00:14:30] said about the last three years
[00:14:33] especially, mean there has been other
[00:14:36] time in modern history that and
[00:14:40] perhaps in history that this many
[00:14:43] journalists have been killed, korash if we
[00:14:47] just review what has taken place since October
[00:14:51] 7th, 2023, the way the journalists
[00:14:55] have been targeted, the way the people in general, as we know
[00:14:59] in Gaza, have been targeted and continue to be targeted,
[00:15:02] but I'm looking at the journalists specifically
[00:15:05] tonight, we we saw journalists who were a
[00:15:09] tent resting that they were targeted and some them
[00:15:13] burned to death, we have seen journalists who were
[00:15:16] covering story trying to get to point that their
[00:15:20] vehicles were specifically targeted, this is in Gaza, this is
[00:15:24] also in Lebanon.
[00:15:25] We have seen people just be brutally
[00:15:29] killed with their whole family. One the journalists who I
[00:15:33] said that I who I was in in touch with
[00:15:36] Wafa. aldani, she was a
[00:15:39] journalist in Gaza, and we were in touch
[00:15:43] with each other regularly, and she said, "Marzier, if I survived this, I have
[00:15:47] so much to tell you about what we have seen and what we have been
[00:15:51] through." Unfortunately, she did not survive. Not only she not survived, they
[00:15:55] waited until she returned to her home, and they targeted her home
[00:15:58] in the middle the night, killing her husband, killing her child,
[00:16:02] wounding two other kids, um, destroying their
[00:16:06] home, this... This is the kind of violence that
[00:16:10] we have been witnessing over the last three
[00:16:13] years. It has really been unprecedent, unprecedented
[00:16:17] because the unbelievable amount of
[00:16:21] journalists who have been killed any journalist working
[00:16:25] in Gaza or journalist working in the West
[00:16:28] Bank, they know that when they go out that
[00:16:32] day, it's a possibility that they will not return
[00:16:35] for those in Gaza. "they know that when they're sleeping at
[00:16:39] night, they may be killed and may be targeted. for those
[00:16:43] in the west bank increasingly they have the same situation, because we know
[00:16:47] that the zionist regime, mean they love to attack in the middle the night,
[00:16:51] just as we're seeing what they're doing in lebanon right now, all of sudden one in the morning, two in
[00:16:55] the morning, three in the morning, bombing and just
[00:16:58] basically creating chaos and havoc, that's
[00:17:02] their one their main MOs, that's how they
[00:17:05] deal with the situation." so when the
[00:17:09] international so-called international community has been
[00:17:12] watching this almost three years now, we're we're in
[00:17:16] september, it's just
[00:17:18] a it's just a couple of weeks before now, few weeks
[00:17:22] before, october the 7th,
[00:17:24] it will be three years, imagine three years of
[00:17:27] a genocide, three years of constant pressure, three years of
[00:17:31] hardly any electricity, no clean water, hardly any
[00:17:34] food, hardly any medication, that have been
[00:17:38] targeted, um, no supplies, hygienal
[00:17:42] supplies are very few getting in, rats,
[00:17:45] rodance all over the place, just
[00:17:49] unbelievable conditions, living in the heat intense,
[00:17:52] living in the cold, intense, not being able to get proper clothing
[00:17:56] in, the international community has been watching all
[00:18:00] of this, all of this, we have seen
[00:18:04] infants, newborn, infants that
[00:18:08] were taken off of lifesaving machines and
[00:18:12] left to die in the hospital. we have seen
[00:18:16] it all in the last three years and
[00:18:19] really, i want
[00:18:20] to know where where is humanity? yes, there has been some
[00:18:24] noise, yes, there have been some groups that are really trying their
[00:18:28] best, but i think they have to ask themselves, well, put some pressure
[00:18:32] on your governments, those same governments that are
[00:18:35] supporting this, that's supporting design as
[00:18:38] entity for the Americans, we we have seen many
[00:18:42] them, we've seen students not being able to graduate, we have
[00:18:46] seen so many things and so much oppression taking place over there for those
[00:18:50] who support the Palestinian cause, it's true, however, at the end the
[00:18:54] day, it's still their tax dollars that are
[00:18:57] responsible for killing these journalists, for killing other
[00:19:01] Palestinians, to the Brits, to the other Europeans
[00:19:05] who also have become aware and... active, I mean, I would say
[00:19:09] fantastic what you're doing, continue doing it, but figure out a
[00:19:13] way that you can actually make a change in your own
[00:19:16] government, because they are the ones that are supporting
[00:19:20] the zionist regime. Israeli regime is
[00:19:23] nothing, is nothing without the
[00:19:26] support
[00:19:28] the US, the UK, France, and Germany, it's
[00:19:32] nothing, and we know that they have created, they
[00:19:35] try to create this picture of... themselves of being invincible, but
[00:19:39] Iran from time, time and time again continuously
[00:19:43] shows that there anything but invincible.
[00:19:46] Hazbullah continually showed that there are
[00:19:49] anything but invincible, so this image that
[00:19:53] they have created before, one of being the most moral
[00:19:57] army in the world, which is an absolute joke, and two
[00:20:00] of being invencible, that has already been destroyed, so people
[00:20:04] understand who they are, but but now have to
[00:20:08] go from understanding and having some
[00:20:11] activity to putting pressure on governments
[00:20:15] and let me say, not only the western governments, but
[00:20:18] unfortunately we have lot the Arab regimes
[00:20:21] also that they have supported the
[00:20:25] zionist regime. I mean, it's quite mindbockly, we have countries where
[00:20:29] there are so many Palestinians in it, for example Jordan,
[00:20:33] but we know that the the Jordanian government actually
[00:20:36] supports... the zionist regime in many different ways, we know that Saudi
[00:20:40] Arabia, they may talk a good talk about supporting the
[00:20:44] Palestinians, but we know how they
[00:20:48] continually help design. regime, the UAE is the same
[00:20:51] way, and so many the other Arab regimes.
[00:20:54] I mean, this is pity, because the majority their people in these
[00:20:57] countries, they do not support the zionist
[00:21:01] regime, they support the
[00:21:04] Palestinian cause and a Palestinian state, and
[00:21:08] yet their governments, their regimes actually do not, so
[00:21:12] this is what we have to change, the awareness of people inside
[00:21:16] these various countries, and taking it to the next level.
[00:21:20] their government in ways that they have
[00:21:23] not, and lot of people will say, well, it's
[00:21:26] quite dangerous. well, i think that just sitting and
[00:21:30] watching a genocide continue, sitting and
[00:21:34] watching journalists being picked up for nothing but doing their
[00:21:38] job, i think that is danger for all of
[00:21:41] humanity, because if you don't stop it
[00:21:43] here, this expansionist project
[00:21:47] will just devour, not only the... region, but we are
[00:21:51] seeing the type of effect the zinanis regime is having and trying to
[00:21:55] control, for example, what is happening inside the US, what's happening
[00:21:59] inside the UK, what's happening now in in several South
[00:22:03] American countries, that know
[00:22:05] you the founder the Islamic Revolution, Imam Komaini said many years
[00:22:09] ago that the entity, the zionist entity is a
[00:22:13] cancer, it's like a cancer that you have to stop it, otherwise it will
[00:22:17] spread, and we look at how much... has spread
[00:22:21] and how much it continues that with the goal of trying to spread
[00:22:25] more, so this is a threat not only to the Palestinian, it's for the
[00:22:28] Palestinians, it's for the whole world, and it is up to the
[00:22:32] whole world to make that decision to say
[00:22:35] enough, enough to their governments that don't represent what
[00:22:39] their people want want, to change that reality
[00:22:43] on the ground to change it in Washington, to change it
[00:22:47] in London to change it. in all the different
[00:22:51] capitals, if your so-called elected
[00:22:54] officials are not representing your perspectives, then they're not really
[00:22:58] elected officials, they're not really chosen by you, so
[00:23:02] perhaps you need to do something else that you can actually get
[00:23:05] in those who represent you, because the
[00:23:09] time is now, we cannot wait, how many
[00:23:13] journalists right now are in jail, how many
[00:23:16] physicians we saw in Gaza being taken? how
[00:23:20] many across the board, any type
[00:23:23] of of you say whatever they were
[00:23:26] doing, any type of vocation, we have seen it all
[00:23:30] from babies, students to the elderly,
[00:23:34] no one is respected by the zionist regime, and that is
[00:23:38] something that can spread and already is spreading throughout the
[00:23:41] world, and I think the time is now that we have to
[00:23:45] stand up against it, no matter what it takes, we have to stop
[00:23:49] this... entity: absolutely, marzia, before
[00:23:53] we wrap up this section, um, according to different
[00:23:56] accounts, the occupied westbang is the second most
[00:24:00] dangerous place on the face the earth to be a journalist, and
[00:24:04] number one has been Gaza, as you have been mentioning in your previous
[00:24:08] response, I'm interested in uh knowing your thoughts when
[00:24:12] it comes to the discrimination uh against the Palestinian
[00:24:16] journalists in different sides the world, and let's compare that to an...
[00:24:20] is really journalist in the US, let's say,
[00:24:23] and um, according to some the analys that we have
[00:24:27] been inviting to speak in this matter, they have been saying that there has been
[00:24:31] a message to press tv by this detention
[00:24:35] of a correspondent to of press tv and the
[00:24:38] occupied of span, your thoughts on that as
[00:24:40] well, well of course i
[00:24:44] mean
[00:24:44] the they always try to send messages to Iran to press
[00:24:48] tv um because because yes, we are the thorn in
[00:24:52] their side, because we are the ones uh exposing the
[00:24:56] truth and standing up for the truth, um, and
[00:25:00] unfortunately, yes, they have no red lines, they do not
[00:25:03] care that this woman or other journalists that they're just doing
[00:25:07] their job, they're just pr doing their job, they're
[00:25:11] just presenting what they see on the ground, they're
[00:25:14] interviewing eyewitnesses to various situation, they have their
[00:25:18] lens turned and the reality on the ground, why is that
[00:25:22] a crime? this is my question, why is that a crime?
[00:25:26] because you know what you are, the zinus entity, you
[00:25:30] don't want the truth to be shown, um,
[00:25:33] although you realize that more and more people are becoming
[00:25:37] aware, but you want to create this
[00:25:41] entity as if one you're invincible, and to that you'll do
[00:25:45] anything, that you want to create terror in the
[00:25:49] hearts. the people um and
[00:25:53] in governments really that you're out of control and you will do whatever
[00:25:57] you want, but the zionist regime met its
[00:26:00] match of course with the... Islamic Republic that
[00:26:04] and not only Islamic Republic, but also
[00:26:07] the whole resistance front that definitely do
[00:26:11] not fear the zionist regime. That is for sure,
[00:26:15] and we have seen that the zionist regime is not
[00:26:18] invincible, and that their days are
[00:26:21] definitely numbered. Thank you so much for your
[00:26:25] insights, that was Press TV's Marzia hashemi, Press TV's
[00:26:29] news newsroom director. Thank you so much, Marsia.
[00:26:32] and that brings us to the end of this edition over a special one-on-one interview
[00:26:36] after the detention of press tv's correspondent in the
[00:26:40] occupied west bank
[00:26:41] Narohammed.
[00:27:06] On June 13th, 2025, war came to Dr. Ali Fuladman's
[00:27:10] home and Israely strike killed his wife and left the Iranian scientist
[00:27:14] seriously wounded. It was not the last attempt on his life. Less than
[00:27:18] year later, during the 20-26 war, Fuladvan was
[00:27:21] targeted again, this time he was martered. Fuladvan was not
[00:27:25] a politician, he was not a military commander, he was
[00:27:28] scientist, a senior researcher who spent years work.
[00:27:32] working on strategic technologies and national defense
[00:27:36] projects. He served at Iran's Organization of
[00:27:40] Defense of Innovation and Research, known as SPND, eventually
[00:27:44] becoming his head of research. His work had already made him
[00:27:47] a target of American pressure. On October 1st, 2025, the
[00:27:51] U.S. Treasury department sanctioned him, but foul advan's
[00:27:55] most important contribution could never be captured in a sanction
[00:27:59] list or an official title. He taught,
[00:28:03] he trained young researchers, shared what he had learned and helped
[00:28:07] prepare new generation to work in some of Iran's most
[00:28:11] advanced fields of science and technology. For him, scientific power
[00:28:14] was not simply about what one scientist could achieve, it was about
[00:28:18] what could be passed on from one generation to the next, and what may
[00:28:22] explain why scientists like Fuladvan can become
[00:28:26] targets, eliminating scientist may silence one voice, but
[00:28:30] it cannot erase the knowledge of that voice. has already passed to
[00:28:33] others, just days after his martterdom, the prestigious journal
[00:28:37] science in its April 6th, 2026 issue reported on the growing
[00:28:41] Israeli campaign targeting Iranian scientists and universities. full
[00:28:44] advanced death had become part of a larger story, a
[00:28:48] war in which those capable of advancing Iran's scientific
[00:28:52] and technological future were themselves being targeted, but
[00:28:56] there is limit to what an attack can destroy a
[00:29:00] laboratory can be hit, a researcher.
[00:29:02] can be killed, a generation can lose one of its teachers, but
[00:29:06] knowledge survives. it is carried by the students, they trained, the
[00:29:10] researchers they inspired, and the people who continue the work
[00:29:13] after they are gone. that was Ful Advance's other legacy: one,
[00:29:17] no missile could
[00:29:18] eliminate.
[00:29:53] There has been over this weekend a major exchange of missile
[00:29:57] fire by Iran in the US targeting oil tankers
[00:30:00] and even a US
[00:30:03] destroyer, uh, the new
[00:30:06] secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security
[00:30:09] Council, Mohsen Razi said a very recent
[00:30:12] interview that Iran didn't use ballistic missile for
[00:30:16] that attack on the destroyer, but new
[00:30:20] weapon, but let's go to Iran's escalation ladder,
[00:30:24] which we've talked about before, this is a country that takes its
[00:30:28] time to send messages and only does so when
[00:30:31] necessary and to serve a strategic objective,
[00:30:35] unlike the Americans, um, what,
