[00:00:57] of [00:01:02] hello everyone and uh welcome to Press TV world news. now [00:01:06] press TV is vemily condemned abduction of West Bank correspondent by [00:01:10] Israeli occupation forces as organized illegal and aggressive terrorist [00:01:14] operation aimed at silencing the truth. [00:01:17] in a statement, the network emphasized [00:01:20] of Nakohama's abduction is culmination of a continuous and targeted campaign of [00:01:24] in intimidation against journalists. Stayman added a desperate attempt by the zionist to block [00:01:28] the flow of free news. and occupied West Bank is clear [00:01:32] evidence the occupiers fear of reporters exposing wide spread [00:01:36] humanitarian rights violations. Press TV has a stress [00:01:39] that the regime is fully and legally pardon [00:01:43] of responsible forhammed's physical and mental well-being and also urges [00:01:47] the international community and the UN to stop their meaningful silence [00:01:51] and take immediate measures and stop forced [00:01:54] of disappearances of [00:01:55] journalists. [00:02:00] This while Israel court has [00:02:02] of extended the detention of our Press TV Westbank [00:02:05] correspondent until at least September the 23rd Nahammed was [00:02:08] abducted by [00:02:10] of occupation forces Tuesday and her she's a mother of three along with her camera [00:02:14] crew they were abducted and accested and stopped a checkpoint near town of [00:02:17] Tuku just southeast of Bethlehem. Regiming forces abducted Naka but [00:02:21] allowed her crew to leave the palestinian journalist syndicate as [00:02:25] in condemned of her abduction is a wider Israely campaign targeting media [00:02:29] workers. According to the syndicate, 38 journalists have now been abducted [00:02:33] in the occupied West [00:02:34] Bank. [00:02:39] of It has been three days since Press TV's West Bank reporter Naqa Ahmed [00:02:43] was abducted by Israeli soldiers. Regime forces arrested her a [00:02:47] checkpoint as she was returning from [00:02:49] a reporting assignment. Her cameraman who witnessed the incident [00:02:53] recounts how the events unfolded. It was three [00:02:57] female soldiers who ushered our car to stop. They demanded we hand [00:03:01] over our identification cards, and they photographed each ID as well as [00:03:05] took our [00:03:06] of pictures. After a short while, the soldiers ordered the team to get out [00:03:08] of the car and follow them to a military watch tower nearby. We were [00:03:12] forced to sit on the ground for around 45 minutes and in that time Naka [00:03:16] was taken by the female soldiers to the side. Around 15 minutes [00:03:20] later, the soldiers asked Hamed to [00:03:22] a collect her phone and laptop, and she was taken into custody. The [00:03:25] Palestinian journalist Syndicate has condemned Israel's continued [00:03:29] abduction. and targeting of Palestinian journalists including [00:03:32] Naqa Hamed. The syndicate said [00:03:34] in a statement that her abduction is the [00:03:37] of latest example of Israel detaining a journalist. It noted that Hamed [00:03:41] has diabetes and other health problems. It warned that Hamed's [00:03:44] continued detention raises serious concerns about her health and [00:03:48] safety given the harsh conditions and lack of adequate medical [00:03:51] care in [00:03:52] a Israeli a prisons and detention centers. The journalist has [00:03:55] in been working as a Press TV correspondent since [00:03:58] 2024. Over the past few weeks, she has been [00:04:02] reporting about raising settler [00:04:04] of attacks, especially in the town of Quosra, as well [00:04:07] as Israel's land grab policies [00:04:10] of in the occupied territories. That's deemed to be the reason she has [00:04:13] been targeted by Israeli settlers with wave [00:04:16] of incitement [00:04:16] on telegram channels and Israeli media. The campaign has been [00:04:20] slammed as part of a targeted effort to put psycholog the space [00:04:24] available to journalists and media, the space available to journalists and media [00:04:28] outlets and strucked Press TV's coverage of Israeli [00:04:32] crimes from reaching audiences around the world. [00:04:36] Nakal Hammed was also injured in December last year while reporting from Halandia [00:04:39] Refugee camp after Israeli forces targeted her with rubber [00:04:43] bullets. Hamed is from the village of [00:04:46] of Batin northeast of Romallah holding American citizenship and [00:04:50] is married with three young children. [00:04:53] of Hamed family contacted the US embassy in al-Quds about her [00:04:56] arrest but has yet to hear back. Israely news outlet [00:05:00] cited unidentified Israeli military sources as saying [00:05:04] of hammed of suspected of cooperating with an enemy entity and [00:05:08] may also be under suspicion of espionage. Hamed's detention is part [00:05:12] of an... escalating wave of arrest of Palestinian journalists by Israeli [00:05:15] authorities, nearly 40 journalists are currently in Israeli [00:05:19] detention, according to the Palestinian prisoner society, [00:05:23] all of whom were abducted following the start of Israel's [00:05:26] genocidal war on Gaza, nearly three years ago, [00:05:30] over half the journalists behind bars are being held in [00:05:33] administrative detention, mechanism that allows Israeli [00:05:37] authorities to imprison people indefinitely without [00:05:40] charge or trial for. Hamed's family, however, the case [00:05:44] is deeply personal. Three days after her arrest, they're still [00:05:48] waiting for answers about where she is being held, the charges [00:05:52] against her, and whether she's receiving the medical care she [00:05:55] needs. As Hamed remains behind bars, her colleagues and [00:05:59] family continue to call for her immediate release and for guarantees of [00:06:03] her safety and access to proper medical care. The case of [00:06:07] Nahal Hahmed is yet another reminder the risks Palestinian [00:06:11] journalists face. simply for documenting events on the [00:06:14] ground, for now her family remains without answers [00:06:18] and the questions surrounding her abduction remain [00:06:21] unresolved. [00:06:25] the islamic religion guard says an oil tanker trying to cross straight of hormose [00:06:29] through an unauthorized route has been targeted. commander the [00:06:32] IRGC's navy rear admiral Ali Ozamai [00:06:36] said a message that the Togo flagged oiltaker was hit while attempting to make [00:06:40] an illegal passage through the straight. via route not [00:06:44] authorized by Iran, he added, Tanker came to a halt after catching [00:06:48] fire. The commander warned any attempt at crossing the straight through illegal [00:06:52] routes will have no result other than destruction the [00:06:55] violating vessel. The new development comes a few days after a super [00:06:59] tanker trying to cross the uh strategic waterway through an illegal route [00:07:03] exploded after colliding with naval mines. IRGC said the [00:07:07] super tanker El guy was trying to cross [00:07:09] strategic gateway there through. prohibited route in the [00:07:13] southern part the straight of hormose when it collided with naval mines and then [00:07:17] caught fired stress, the straight is closed and remains under the [00:07:20] IRGC smart [00:07:22] control. [00:07:26] Iran's parliament speakers held [00:07:28] the veto of a US backed anti-Iran draft resolution at the UN Security [00:07:31] Council by Russia and China saying move proves the end the [00:07:35] Unipor World said Order. [00:07:38] a Muhammad post [00:07:40] the veto shows unipolar world in which one side extracts [00:07:43] concessions through force and coersion has ended and [00:07:46] added Moscow and Beijing is veto prevented [00:07:50] political abuse the security council Khalib called on all countries to [00:07:54] defend multilateralism, his comments come after China and Russia [00:07:58] vetoed [00:07:59] a US bid at the Security Council to extend mandate of [00:08:03] panel tasked with monitoring sanctions against Iran. China [00:08:07] said the Security Council Resolution 2231 in fact [00:08:10] expired last October. and brings the council's review of Iran's [00:08:14] nuclear file to an end. Russia also rejected claim's activation [00:08:18] the so-called snapback mechanism could restore Iran's [00:08:22] sanctions, arguing that resolution expired and current proceedings lack [00:08:26] legal and procedural [00:08:27] basis. [00:08:32] The international atomic energy agencies adopted resolution calling for the establishment of [00:08:36] nuclear weapon free zone in west Asia. 70th [00:08:40] IAEA General Conference adopted the resolution. calling for practical and [00:08:43] appropriate steps implement mutually and effectively verificable [00:08:47] nuclear weapon free zone in west Asia, also urged the [00:08:51] Israel regime to adhere to international non-proliferation regimes, including the [00:08:55] nuclear non-proliferation treaty as a meanings of complementing [00:08:59] a zone free of all weapons of mass destruction Israel [00:09:02] which possesses nuclear weapons designing signatory to the [00:09:06] NPT and nuclear weapon free zone initiative was first proposed by [00:09:09] Iran in 1974 and since been promoted by the [00:09:13] Islamic Republic, resolution was adopted by 112 [00:09:17] member states with nine abstentions and no votes [00:09:21] against. [00:09:32] Iran's deputy envoy to the UN agencies in viena taufiq sadiq [00:09:36] Musta Kham says that every state in the region except for the Israeli regime [00:09:39] is joined the NPT and accepted a comprehensive. of ia [00:09:43] standards, he says Israel's refusal to do so reflects a dangerous [00:09:47] double standard that undermines the ia's [00:09:50] credibility. [00:09:56] highly destructive policies and practices the Israeli [00:09:59] regime have entirely blocked the [00:10:03] establishment of this [00:10:04] zone, its dangerous [00:10:08] nuclear posture remains the soul obstacle. [00:10:15] For decades our region has witnessed [00:10:19] relentless Israeli aggression and [00:10:21] occupation. This [00:10:25] regime persistently defies and marks all global [00:10:29] nuclear nonproliferation norms with absolute [00:10:33] impunity. [00:10:37] The director general reports that all in [00:10:41] the middle east have joined the MPT [00:10:45] and concluded comprehensive safegards [00:10:47] agreements. The only [00:10:51] exception is the Israeli regime. [00:10:57] Regional estates bear heavy non-proliferation [00:11:00] obligations and face highly [00:11:04] intrusive IAGA [00:11:06] inspections. [00:11:10] Meanwhile a non-np party with [00:11:14] known nuclear arsenal [00:11:17] enjoys total [00:11:19] impunity. This [00:11:23] dangerous double. standards destroys the [00:11:26] agencies credibility and [00:11:28] integrity. [00:11:36] a un fact finding mission on Iran says the US committed war crimes in two air strikes [00:11:40] in iran in February. report focus on US, two US [00:11:44] attacks, first struck a school in civilians. findings [00:11:47] are expected to be presented [00:11:49] to the UN human rights council in Geneva, the according to the report [00:11:53] strike on school, beyond negligence and amounts to a war [00:11:57] crime under international law. US officials have claim that their [00:12:00] military operations carried out in accordience with the law of armed [00:12:03] conflict. [00:12:08] Teran summoned the German ambassador to protest Berlin's inappropriate [00:12:11] statements and interventionist actions. Iran's foreign ministry director [00:12:14] for western Europe Adiza Yusafi rejected [00:12:18] bases claims made by the German chancellortz regarding [00:12:22] Iran. Murts demanded Tehran halt its. military nuclear [00:12:25] program and unfounded claim Iran has consistently rejected. [00:12:29] German chancer also said Iran has to see support for quote proxies [00:12:33] across the region and its blockade the straight of hormos used if he convey [00:12:37] Tehran's strong protest against Berlin's unjustified and destructive [00:12:41] approach to issues concerning the region and Iran. Iranian [00:12:45] foreign ministry spokesman had already samts earlier in the [00:12:49] day for presenting a knowingly distorted narrative. He blamed Germany for failing [00:12:53] even show minimum moral courage. to condemn US [00:12:56] Israely imposed war on [00:12:57] Iran. [00:13:02] Yes, the leader says the regime has been sharing intelligence with the [00:13:06] Israeli regime and participated with Americans in their aggression against [00:13:10] Yemen. [00:13:15] Those managing the Saudi enemies operations are American, Israeli [00:13:19] and British experts and the foreign role is clear. The Saudi enemy was not [00:13:23] satisfied with the foreign role in the... aggression against our country and wants to [00:13:27] drag them into a direct war at the international and regional [00:13:30] level. [00:13:36] Abdulthi said Saudi Arabia receives weapons from the US that it's announced [00:13:40] and has announced a joint force of 200 military [00:13:43] experts managing aggressive operations by the Saudis against Yemen. [00:13:47] He also rejected the false claim Yemeny forces targeted Mecca say Yemenes are [00:13:51] ready sacrifice their lives to defend Mecca. And the stress. Yemen [00:13:55] remains a state of legitimate defense and has only targeted [00:13:58] military installations, he said blockade on airports and ports [00:14:02] and the use of hunger as a weapon or forms of [00:14:06] aggression aimed at enslaving the Yemani [00:14:08] people. [00:14:13] while another deadly attack in Yemen, siback force of shelled residential areas of Thaiz [00:14:17] killing three children and wounding several other people attack hit the village [00:14:20] of al tarira and alwaziia district in meanwile Saudi surveillance drone. [00:14:25] was reportly shot down, left one civilian killed and another [00:14:28] wounded while destroying four vehicles and damaging a home and [00:14:32] latest error strikes by the saudis comed major anser the military gains along [00:14:36] Yemen's red sea [00:14:37] coast [00:14:46] and over to the bessieg gaza trip where at least other palestinians been killed in fresh [00:14:50] attacks by the Israelis and khan unis in the south as besieg terroris were still [00:14:54] reeling from regimes aggression, other areas including gaza city and [00:14:58] daral and central gaza have also come under heavy fire our gaza [00:15:01] correspondent Musaba, join us earlier with your [00:15:04] story, [00:15:09] let me start with the last attack that took place in [00:15:13] khanuni city whereas the Israeli fighter drones attack that makes shift [00:15:17] tint in the western side the city killing at least a palestinian [00:15:20] civilian and leaving several injuries, in the meantime the Israeli [00:15:24] w launched another attack targeting the roof [00:15:28] the of one the residential buildings in as you know in the [00:15:32] eastern side of daraj neighborhood in gaza city [00:15:35] leaving several palesina so mention is once [00:15:38] nearly again that the eastern sides of gaz trip are still [00:15:42] under the heavy bombings the Israel occupation forces, we [00:15:46] able are still to hear more detonations the palestinian [00:15:50] presidential buildings that survived the [00:15:53] relentless stacks over the past couple of months in those [00:15:57] areas addition to that the makeshift tens the palestinian people are still [00:16:01] exposed to more stray bullets from the Israeli [00:16:05] forces at mid the intense uh as no machine gun fire continued [00:16:09] by the Israeli forces and according to the recent updates from the [00:16:13] Gaza Health Ministry that the palestine and woman was [00:16:16] confirmed wounded in the eastern side of Deril [00:16:20] Balas City as result the of that intense and mass shooting [00:16:24] towards the make shiftings the palestinian people and under the same [00:16:27] circumstances two palestinian civilians were also wounded and injured in [00:16:31] the northern part [00:16:32] of. [00:16:37] causes of public transportation system is nearing a collapse with around [00:16:41] 70% of a bus fleet out of service emid severe shortages [00:16:44] of tires, oil and spare parts. as war damaged roads [00:16:48] continue to wear down remaining vehicles, palestinians are [00:16:51] spending hours searching for transport overcrowding may shift vehicles [00:16:55] and struggling to reach work, healthcare and other [00:16:59] basic uh [00:16:59] destinations. [00:17:05] for many palestinians in Gaza, getting from one place to another has become [00:17:09] a daily struggle defined by hours of waiting, long [00:17:13] walks, overcrowded vehicles and roads that are barely [00:17:17] passable, what was once her routine journey has become [00:17:20] increasingly difficult, as goes as public [00:17:23] transportation system is pushed closer to [00:17:27] collapse. for two years [00:17:30] we have struggled to keep 20% the buses running, serving communities, [00:17:34] including healthcare workers with tires, oil and bare parts still [00:17:38] restricted, companies are dismantling out of service buses to salvage [00:17:42] parts. we have even switched some buses from six wheels to [00:17:45] four, but it is risky and not a sustainable [00:17:48] solution. around 70% of buses are already [00:17:52] out of service, leaving only a fraction of vehicles operating [00:17:56] across the strip. those still running are being pushed towards the [00:18:00] breakdown by severe shoultages of tires, engine oils and [00:18:04] essential spare parts. احنا بنعاني. spare [00:18:08] part has become so expensive that people simply cannot afford [00:18:12] to replace it. i drive slowly, knowing it delays [00:18:16] passengers, but if i drive faster, i risk wearing out [00:18:19] my tires even more. the roads are badly [00:18:23] damaged and covered with rubble. people can spend hours [00:18:27] waiting for ride, which is why we have resorted to these [00:18:30] makeshift rear cards to carry more [00:18:33] passengers. as conventional public transport [00:18:36] becomes. increasingly scars under Israel's blockade, [00:18:40] increasingly desperate alternatives are emerging on Gaza's [00:18:44] streets with remaining vehicles being fitted with makeshift [00:18:48] records to carry additional [00:18:50] passengers. [00:18:54] these makeshift vehicles are dangerous, i have to hold on tightly throughout the [00:18:57] journey to avoid falling. the roads are badly damaged and as you [00:19:01] can see these vehicles offer no real safety, they are [00:19:05] suffocating us in every sense. they restrict [00:19:08] access to engine oil, tires and spare parts, [00:19:12] and all of this is reflected in our daily suffering. [00:19:16] The Gaza Center for Human Rights estimates direct losses to the [00:19:20] transport sector at around $2.8 billion dollars, but [00:19:24] the real cost is born by the people who depend on these vehicles [00:19:27] every day, as even the simplest journey becomes [00:19:31] longer, harder and more dangerous. All roads [00:19:35] is card by war and buried in rubber. every journey has [00:19:38] become longer, harder and more expensive, [00:19:42] yet the few remaining vehicles is still moving, continue [00:19:46] to carry people who are trying to live, who are trying [00:19:50] to care for their families and trying to preserve a [00:19:54] sense of normal life, but brahim for press tv, ghaza [00:19:58] city, [00:19:58] Palestine. [00:20:03] Scientific discussions are underweight Iran's 26 international [00:20:06] nuclear medicine. Congress in Northwestern City of Tabris, [00:20:10] alongside expert panels on latest diagnostic and therapeutic [00:20:14] applications and exhibition so showcasing technologies and radio [00:20:17] pharmaceuticals developed for nuclear medicine. Here's Press TV's Gisu [00:20:21] Hamisha Ahmed, reporting from [00:20:23] Tabris. [00:20:28] When people hear the word nuclear, medicine [00:20:30] may not be the first thing that comes to mind, but nuclear [00:20:33] technology has revolutionized healthcare over the past. few [00:20:37] decades, from detecting abnormalities and organs and [00:20:41] identifying cancer to delivering targeted [00:20:44] radiation directly to disease tissue, nuclear [00:20:48] medicine has become an important [00:21:50] colleagues to learn about the latest developments [00:21:51] in nuclear medicine, exchange ideas and share new [00:21:56] for our research. In recent years, despite sanctions and war, Iran has made [00:22:00] significant progress in this field, particularly in medical imaging and [00:22:04] treatment using radio pharmaceuticals. Today we can provide [00:22:08] services comparable to those available at leading centers around the world, while [00:22:12] keeping treatment relatively affordable for patients in Iran. But the [00:22:16] congress is not confined to scientific discussions. [00:22:20] outside the conference hall, researchers move closer to clinical [00:22:24] practice. Companies active in nuclear medicine are [00:22:27] showcasing technologies and radio pharmaceuticals designed to [00:22:31] turn scientific advances into tools physicians can [00:22:35] actually use. One major participant here is [00:22:39] Pars Isotope, Iran's domestic supplier of diagnostic and [00:22:43] therapeutic [00:22:43] radiofarmasuticals. [00:22:50] and treatment of disease is a relatively recent field and Iran [00:22:54] has kept pace with its development. We are conducting research [00:22:58] and developing these technologies domestically. There are currently more [00:23:02] than 230 nuclear medicine centers across Iran and we [00:23:06] supply them with radio pharmaceuticals. Our company currently [00:23:09] produces more than 70 radio pharmaceutical products and kits for [00:23:13] diagnostic and therapeutic applications. We know that our [00:23:17] colleagues in Iran are doing a lot of advance. in [00:23:20] nuclear medicine and particularly because pass [00:23:24] isotope is here and they are making lot [00:23:28] of ground work within the nuclear medicine [00:23:31] field. As far as nuclear medicine is concerned, the [00:23:34] connection between researchers, manufacturers and hospitals is [00:23:38] particularly important, and that connection is taking place [00:23:42] here between the conference halls and the exhibition [00:23:45] floor. The discussions here are highly [00:23:48] specialized, [00:23:49] but the... [00:24:20] Ansarula were the supporters of God, and regard confronting [00:24:23] American and Israeli aggression and domination in the region as one their [00:24:27] principal objectives. They are among the most courageous fighters of [00:24:31] our time, men who face bombardment and death, yet [00:24:35] refuse to retreat even a single step from their beliefs and their path of [00:24:38] resistance. For years they have fought Saudi Arabia and the [00:24:42] United Arab Emirates in defense of Yemen, a war backed [00:24:46] by American military support. They have resisted. every attempt [00:24:50] to force their country into submission and in support the [00:24:54] people of Gaza have repeatedly struck Israeli targets nearly [00:24:58] 2,0 kilometers away. On July 13th, [00:25:02] 2026, Saudi Arabia bombed the runway at [00:25:05] Sanaah International Airport an attempt to prevent an Iranian [00:25:09] aircraft from landing. Unsarula declared that Riyad had ended the [00:25:13] period of deescalation, promised immediate [00:25:16] response. Within hours, Saudi airports and [00:25:20] including Aba international airport came under attack. [00:25:23] This was nothing new. The Yemini Resistance movement has [00:25:27] repeatedly demonstrated its ability to reach deep inside Saudi [00:25:31] Arabia. In September 2019, its [00:25:34] drone strike on the abkaik and kurase oil facilities [00:25:38] exposed the vulnerability of Saudi Aramco despite billions of dollars [00:25:42] worth of American-made air defense systems. Now the [00:25:46] resistance movement warns that any new attack on Yemen's infrastructure. [00:25:50] could bring even more strategic targets into range, including the [00:25:53] vital oil facilities at Yanbu. Today, more than [00:25:57] 70% of Saudi oil exports bypass the straight of Hormus [00:26:01] through pipelines to... on the red sea, but from there [00:26:05] they must still pass through the Bob Almandab straight. If that [00:26:09] route is closed, Saudi Arabia's alternative export corridor [00:26:12] disappears. Ansarula has already shown it can disrupt one the [00:26:16] world's busiest maritime choke points. Since the outbreak the [00:26:20] Gaza War in 2023, it has launched attacks in the Red Sea [00:26:24] declaring that it would target vessels linked to Israel in support [00:26:28] the Palestinians. The Red Sea operations. [00:26:32] major shipping companies to re-root around southern Africa, increased [00:26:36] global transport costs and pushed Israel's southern port of [00:26:40] ilot, the brink of collapse. If both the straight of [00:26:44] Hormus and Bob Almandab were closed at the same time, nearly [00:26:48] a quarter the world's oil and gas supply and almost 1/3ird of [00:26:51] global container traffic could be affected. Oil prices could [00:26:55] sore toward 200 per barrel, while Europe's energy security [00:26:59] would face severe pressure. On Sarula, [00:27:03] Yemen is not merely another battlefield, [00:27:05] it is a strategic front with the power to reshape the global [00:27:09] economy. The axis of [00:27:12] resistance still holds powerful strategic cards in [00:27:15] reserve, cards that once played could leave even [00:27:19] America unable to respond despite all its military [00:27:22] might.
