[00:01:23] targets the country's painful attacks.
[00:01:26] of central command said Iran has information
[00:01:28] of that US is
[00:01:29] of planning to resume. hostilities against the country a green
[00:01:33] a light of from a some regional countries. top military body said any such move by
[00:01:37] the US will expose this entire interest and basis in the region
[00:01:40] to effective back to back and painful attacks by Iran.
[00:01:44] the central command warned Iran will not think
[00:01:47] a twice about its response. the military body also warn regional
[00:01:51] countries against adhering to their hypocritical approach toward Iran by
[00:01:54] supporting America's aggression. Central Command said anyone
[00:01:58] complicit in vicious acts. the US should not expect
[00:02:02] restraint from
[00:02:03] Iran, and
[00:02:07] earlier we were
[00:02:07] of joined by a military and strategic affairs and
[00:02:09] of Ali of Hamiah out
[00:02:10] of South Lebanon. He gave us
[00:02:11] his take on latest warning issued by Iran's central military command to
[00:02:15] regional countries.
[00:02:16] Let
[00:02:20] me describe the military American military situation in the
[00:02:23] region, we can tell that as we
[00:02:27] received and so ' on CNN
[00:02:31] that more than 17 American military bases
[00:02:35] of either a damaged or destroyed or demolished,
[00:02:38] flattened and so many equipment
[00:02:42] been destroyed, it obligates
[00:02:46] united state to regroup its troops
[00:02:48] in the sea or
[00:02:52] in in Jordan, it was the straight of
[00:02:56] hormos and the war against Iran supported.
[00:03:00] the American still support supported
[00:03:04] by the GCC countries uh by money, we
[00:03:08] a don't forget 5,200 billion
[00:03:12] dollar or five trillion, 5.2 trillion
[00:03:15] dollars been paid to United States in order
[00:03:18] to to be the biggest
[00:03:22] dominator
[00:03:23] of the region, the Iranian are telling the countries in the
[00:03:27] region, up to now we can see your...
[00:03:30] support by uh giving the
[00:03:33] bases to the American, by letting them
[00:03:36] using your airspace, if you move little
[00:03:39] bit further than
[00:03:41] of this, up to now we are attacking
[00:03:45] and retaliating against the American
[00:03:48] of bases in your country, that
[00:03:50] of if you move from supporting to participating in such
[00:03:53] war, it will be directly
[00:03:56] of against you, it's a warning, it's
[00:03:58] of a warning.
[00:04:02] US president says options before Washington against Iran are
[00:04:05] limited to uh what he calls a oblaterating Iran
[00:04:09] letting its economy collapse or reaching a deal, an interview with Fox
[00:04:13] News about ongoing war against the Islamic Republic, Donald Trump said that
[00:04:17] he's
[00:04:18] of in deciding mode adding very big things will unfold in the near
[00:04:21] future, despite US travel warnings issued across the region, Trump
[00:04:25] said this week is
[00:04:26] no different from any other week, he also said that he'll probably... be open to
[00:04:30] a meeting with the Iranian president masosion on the sidelines
[00:04:34] of the UN general assembly in New
[00:04:39] of York, at least one israel has been killed in several wounded in a shooting operation near
[00:04:43] Romala in occupied west bank. now following that operation, regime forces
[00:04:47] shut all interesses and exits to towns across and
[00:04:51] around Romalan. separate incident is really troops open live foreign
[00:04:55] palestining vehicle east of janin claiming that driver intended to
[00:04:59] carry out a ramming. attack attack left one palestinian dead and another
[00:05:02] wounded,
[00:05:03] of and this all comes Israely forces to continue raids and abduction campaigns across
[00:05:07] occupied territory. violence against Palestinians there is
[00:05:10] escalated since Israel launched. genocidal onside on
[00:05:14] Gaza in late
[00:05:15] 2023.
[00:05:19] As new school year begins in Gaza Education remains a struggle for students
[00:05:23] there. Now with most schools erased by Israel's genocidal
[00:05:27] onslot, learning spaces are still limited and temporary
[00:05:30] classrooms face risks and despite the destruction and disruption, students
[00:05:34] and teachers are determined to keep learning next to ruins. Ahmed al
[00:05:38] najar reports from Khan Unis in Southern
[00:05:40] Gaza. In the
[00:05:44] heart of Genest
[00:05:45] Southern Gaza, the crushed classrooms of Haïfa school stand as
[00:05:49] monument to Israel's destruction of education. Founded in
[00:05:52] 1943, its walls once carried the memory of
[00:05:55] generations. Today, as new school year begins, makeshift
[00:05:59] tents pitch besides trouble are the only alternative for most
[00:06:03] students. One of our biggest concerns is just finding tent to
[00:06:06] study in. I'm lucky to have a place today after our schools were destroyed in
[00:06:10] inconsistent online learning for younger. students, even convenient
[00:06:14] access to education remains difficult in these makeshift schools, abu
[00:06:18] anas brought his two sons on their first day, but even reaching their
[00:06:21] classroom comes with risks. the
[00:06:25] irony is that i'm displaced inside a school myself, but we live near the
[00:06:29] yellow line, i have to walk them under constant danger, still the
[00:06:33] semester started and all we hope for is safety and better life for our
[00:06:36] children. the ministry of education says it has work to
[00:06:40] facilitate the start the semester by using available schools and
[00:06:43] spaces whilsing that the Israeli war in education
[00:06:47] continues. this morning, more than 90,00
[00:06:51] students are going to schools in conjunis. even though the number sounds big and
[00:06:55] the number of makeshift schools increased, it still does not suffice for all
[00:06:59] students across the gaza strip, but we are determined to ensure our students
[00:07:02] have access to their right to
[00:07:04] education.
[00:07:09] the israely disruption of learning also extends to recreation.
[00:07:12] resources children need, these teachers organized outdoor
[00:07:16] activities, but all they could find were torn and damaged
[00:07:19] toys, during the first days of school, we try
[00:07:23] to condition the environment for young students, we want to ensure
[00:07:27] they have successful learning space, but it is difficult as our
[00:07:30] resources continue to deplete without new alternatives.
[00:07:34] many
[00:07:34] of me have been lucky to find a place to study on the first day, but under the
[00:07:38] threat of Israeli drones, education remains another assignment.
[00:07:42] of survival between the rubble of schools and improvised tents,
[00:07:46] typical education remains a distant reality for studen
[00:07:49] singaz, as new school year begins, Israely measures continue to
[00:07:53] disrupt their learning while they remain resolved to preserve their
[00:07:56] future, ahmad for press tv
[00:08:00] time,
[00:08:12] in Greenland say that any military deal with the US will not undermine the arctic
[00:08:16] island sovereignty. now Copenhagen and Nuke issued a statement in response
[00:08:20] to claim by the US president that deal will give Washington
[00:08:24] permanent control over Greenland's security. Greenland's prime minister Young
[00:08:28] Fredrich Nielson said that agreement recognizes the island's
[00:08:31] sovereignty and territorial integrity and as well as it's a people's right to
[00:08:35] self-determination as well as it's
[00:08:36] a people's right to self-determination. Donald Trump however described the
[00:08:40] end now he said the agreement is. that has come true for the
[00:08:44] United States, Trump claims he did something that US presidents could not
[00:08:47] do for over 100 years. I do this expected to be signed during the
[00:08:51] UN general assembly next
[00:08:53] week.
[00:09:03] Political analyst Christoph says a claim that new security deal does
[00:09:06] not undermine Greenland's sovereignty is merely another lie
[00:09:10] typical the US president.
[00:09:15] "this is another bunch of Trump lies,
[00:09:19] very typical, and what we know is this, and what they
[00:09:23] have given to know right now, is
[00:09:26] that they have the right
[00:09:30] now um to be the only ones to maintain
[00:09:33] a, foreign military presence in
[00:09:36] Greenland, that was that is no change, the whole
[00:09:40] problem by the way was created by" Trump himself
[00:09:44] um and nobody else is allowed, nobody
[00:09:48] else is allowed uh to get out some
[00:09:52] the valuable raw materials from
[00:09:55] Greenland,
[00:09:56] this is new in this broadness of of
[00:09:59] context, and what I just got to know
[00:10:03] in the last minute before this interview is this, there are rare
[00:10:07] earths in Greenland, and these rare
[00:10:11] earths in fact... are vital to the American
[00:10:15] ability to defend itself or to attack Iran for
[00:10:18] example, because all their missiles, the big missiles as they
[00:10:22] needed petrories and others and the attack missiles. are not
[00:10:26] working, cannot be produced without where earths
[00:10:29] and that means in fact Trump hopes that
[00:10:33] he can revive his arms industry by you
[00:10:37] taking this right off Greenland to take
[00:10:41] everything of Greenland whichever he wants, especially
[00:10:44] these rare earths and that makes the whole contract so very much
[00:10:48] important for the Americans and of course it's the grossest
[00:10:52] kind of interference in these
[00:11:25] attacks on Russia's uh main oil refinery and has not risen to
[00:11:29] three, the has not risen to three, the strikes also left in
[00:11:33] nearly 20 others wounded. Ukraine used hundreds of drones in this
[00:11:36] attack. President Vladimir Zelinski says the strike targeted key Russian
[00:11:40] oil facility and logistics center. The site supplies and more than a
[00:11:44] third of Moscow region's fuel. Russian officials have described this attack
[00:11:48] as a largest drone strike in recent years. Both Russia and Ukraine have
[00:11:52] escalated long-range strikes against each other. in recent
[00:11:55] months,
[00:12:03] joining us out for the program is press tv correspond Mika yon joining us
[00:12:07] from the Russian capital Moscow and joining us out of New York Activist and commentator
[00:12:11] Mr. Dawn debar, hello to the two of you, Mika, we're going to start with you to get
[00:12:15] the latest, give us a breakdown if you could for our viewers on what's transpired as
[00:12:19] of late and while this is uh these attacks, I mean we're seeing serious
[00:12:22] escalation especially against energy. uh and
[00:12:26] a commercial infrastructure lately by both sides, tell us where we
[00:12:30] stand
[00:12:31] today. good
[00:12:34] evening from moscow, the town attack took place on
[00:12:38] the
[00:12:40] on the day of
[00:12:43] parliamentary election in Russia,
[00:12:45] according to defence
[00:12:48] ministry, it's intercepted around
[00:12:52] 100 Ukrainian drones across.
[00:13:39] also says that the
[00:13:43] drones were used and also fp5
[00:13:47] system.
[00:13:51] okay, mika, we're only making out about a third of what you're saying, it seems like we have serious.
[00:13:55] technical difficulties there, I'm going
[00:13:56] to swing over to New York and be welcomed by Mr., welcome, I should say, not be
[00:14:00] welcomed by those rude, I welcome Mr. Don devar, always a
[00:14:03] pleasure, don, good to check in with you pal, some wars, it
[00:14:07] seems uh, at least it seems - we're
[00:14:11] unavoidable in history, this seems like one the most avoidable in history, this seems like one
[00:14:15] the most avoidable wars that that that we've come across in uh, I mean
[00:14:19] it, it seems up to this war - dawn by NATO, by the US,
[00:14:22] seems like Ukraine had a whole 5 or 10%. say in how this
[00:14:26] war unfolded, but there it is stuck in it for for the time being, your
[00:14:30] initial thoughts on this escalation we're seeing as of
[00:14:32] late. yeah, desperation
[00:14:36] is uh,
[00:14:37] you know, it seems that's what's going on in
[00:14:40] Kiev. um, the,
[00:14:43] around Zelensky, there have been all kinds of abdications,
[00:14:47] abandonments, people running out selling their story about
[00:14:51] how crazy and chaotic it is, and that he doesn't even speak.
[00:14:55] Ukrainian uh very well um
[00:14:59] and in the capitals in Europe though in Bowen sorry in
[00:15:02] Berlin and uh and London and Paris in
[00:15:06] particular uh they're ramping up everything that
[00:15:10] they can dump into Ukraine that can be fired into
[00:15:13] Russia uh while Russia says look we're going to
[00:15:17] put a stop to this there was the report
[00:15:21] of whether
[00:15:21] it was true or not a warning certainly was. as
[00:15:25] one where the rail lines, one the rail
[00:15:29] lines running between Poland and Ukraine that
[00:15:32] has been used for supplying the Ukrainian troops was
[00:15:36] bombed and... took out the uh the trains that run on it too,
[00:15:40] they're trying to get the Germans to sell them trains, but they won't
[00:15:44] fit the gauge of traffits goes into
[00:15:47] Ukraine, um and supposedly this hit was right
[00:15:50] after uh Boris Johnson and a couple of other knuckle
[00:15:54] heads from uh from western Europe had uh visited
[00:15:58] Ukraine and left
[00:16:00] um the fact that the
[00:16:03] British and the Germans and the French...
[00:16:07] are conducting up the open now, a war against Russia
[00:16:11] means that there is a war between uh western
[00:16:15] Europe and Russia and its allies, but Belaruse and
[00:16:18] others
[00:16:19] um and the fact that this is being done tandem with uh
[00:16:23] Donald Trump and uh the
[00:16:26] Congress trying to you know Trump signed
[00:16:30] it, but they would have been passed over his veto anyway, these
[00:16:34] long-arm uh sanctions against Russia that they... think are
[00:16:38] gonna discourage or or block China from buying
[00:16:41] petroleum products, it shapes up like the beginning of a
[00:16:45] world war - a way that even you know the beginning of
[00:16:49] World War I and World War II didn't feature, I mean this is this
[00:16:53] is going on in several theaters already before anyone's even
[00:16:57] calling it a war, and they call it the defending the
[00:17:00] invading Russians in Ukraine and the
[00:17:04] protecting Israel and taking care the... threat of
[00:17:08] nuclear weapon in Iran, but it's looking a map like
[00:17:12] a world war, and I think that we're
[00:17:15] seeing and a failed attempt by the way, from
[00:17:19] Zelensky who hasn't been able to hold an election uh, two
[00:17:22] years past the end of his term now, to interrupt
[00:17:26] the election in Russia that's been taking place over the past few days,
[00:17:30] the're 1443 polling stations in
[00:17:33] Moscow, they opened on time despite this attack.
[00:17:37] um and just said you know they tried to disrupt
[00:17:41] the elections, the enemy failed
[00:17:44] and I think that's sort the output of all the efforts that they're doing
[00:17:48] here, the only thing that they're doing is lighting a match, they try to start
[00:17:52] a major war that's going to take end up destroying Germany,
[00:17:56] Britain, France and who knows what else? good take
[00:17:59] there, we have a bit a little bit of time, we can
[00:18:01] want to come back to you and try to uh basically we're seeing as winter approaches we're
[00:18:05] seeing more attacks on energy energy and infrastructure mika which
[00:18:09] which could spell disaster for families on both sides
[00:18:13] the border, give us a quick recap on um the latest attentions and
[00:18:17] attacks on on infrastructure. yeah,
[00:18:20] mean look, no, no, that was for mika, that was formica - don, i'm sorry,
[00:18:24] yeah, as we can see uh,
[00:18:28] this drone attack took
[00:18:30] place, even
[00:18:32] even that after ukraine
[00:18:36] reported one. one shortages uh
[00:18:40] is missile uh missile helps
[00:18:43] from western allies so
[00:18:47] uh as we see and maybe uh a week
[00:18:51] later zi is gonna ask for help again from
[00:18:55] western partners all right well thank you
[00:18:59] uh it seems like you want to weigh in on that we have less than a minute left go ahead don it seems like you want to wait
[00:19:03] on it go ahead and wrap it up and take us home well
[00:19:07] it seems like the there's like a helmeary effort by
[00:19:10] Ukraine and really by the west to impose some sort
[00:19:14] of hardship on the Russian public, the attacks on wild
[00:19:18] berries which is sort the Russian equivalent of
[00:19:21] Amazon and warehouses and other
[00:19:24] supply problems, this is what they did you
[00:19:27] know to take down the Soviet Union was to basically interrupt
[00:19:30] consumer goods supplies and and and some the necessities
[00:19:34] even food and and whatever, I think they're trying to... impose that
[00:19:38] condition, but it's not going to happen, it's going to fail,
[00:19:41] and again they may be buying themselves a real war in the process, all
[00:19:45] right, but thank you, we're out of time, thank you both, stay safe to both the
[00:19:48] mika yan, the president correspondent joining us from moscow and dawn dabar
[00:19:52] activists and uh commentator joining us from new york out the states and viewers that brings
[00:19:56] us to the end your this segment of your news review program, thanks for tuning in and
[00:20:00] goodbye for
[00:20:01] now.
[00:20:14] Crisis devastating wars,
[00:20:18] terrorism, the Israeli
[00:20:21] lobby,
[00:20:24] crackdown,
[00:20:29] diplomacy,
[00:20:33] Iran's warning to US and its regional allies.
[00:20:50] and welcome back everyone, you're watching Press TV, world news. The US
[00:20:53] president drawing heavy criticism for banning
[00:20:56] several media outlets from
[00:20:58] the white house. Donald Trump claims outlets including the CNN,
[00:21:01] MS Now and Political Report, fake news. The White House
[00:21:05] correspondents association though, which represents hundreds of journalists who cover the
[00:21:09] White House, called the ban violation the first amendment the
[00:21:13] US Constitution. Harley Schlanger from the International Schiller Institute was
[00:21:17] earlier with us and called a move an act of desperation. Iran and
[00:21:21] Ukraine
[00:21:21] wars.
[00:21:25] Well, this is an act of desperation. The mid-term elections
[00:21:29] are less than six weeks away. President Trump is in trouble in the
[00:21:33] polls and the media has a responsibility
[00:21:37] to present all sides. The whole idea of freedom the
[00:21:40] press is that if you disagree, you have another way of
[00:21:44] answering, and of course the president has the what Teddy
[00:21:47] Roosevelt called the bully pulpet. "he can talk directly to the American
[00:21:51] people and he does that, but now he's trying to
[00:21:55] uh assert his authority over the constitutional rights the
[00:21:59] media, and this is uh one step too far toward
[00:22:03] dictatorship, and I i expect the courts will overturn this, but
[00:22:07] in the meantime, it indicates the desperation of trying
[00:22:11] to change the narrative about the failure to
[00:22:14] succeed with the goals the Iran war, uh,
[00:22:18] the failure to get peace." Ukraine, the uh effect the
[00:22:22] economy uh and so on, so the the president is is
[00:22:26] doing this out of
[00:22:27] desperation. That's
[00:22:31] it for your latest on Press TV everyone, thanks for tuning in and bye-bye for
[00:22:33] now.
[00:22:54] Crisis devastating wars,
[00:22:58] terrorism, the Israeli
[00:23:01] lobby,
[00:23:06] crackdown,
[00:23:09] diplomacy,
[00:23:14] Iran's warning to US and its regional
[00:23:16] allies.
[00:26:26] 20 days that was all the time Mohammed Ali Khalaha had
[00:26:30] in this world, he was born in Gazwin. Iran a time when the
[00:26:33] country was already at war, but war was never supposed to define his
[00:26:37] life. He was supposed to grow up, sleep safely in his mother's
[00:26:41] arms. Here his seven-year-old brother laugh and slowly discover the
[00:26:45] world around him. Instead, his life lasted just 20
[00:26:49] days. During a US- Israeli air strike on tehran,
[00:26:52] residential building in the Majidi area was strike. Muhammad
[00:26:56] Ali, his mother, his seven-year-old brother and several other family members
[00:27:00] were killed while visiting relatives. at their home, the
[00:27:04] explosion was so powerful that the baby's body was thrown at
[00:27:08] 20 days old, 20 days
[00:27:10] old. he was not a soldier, he was not a
[00:27:14] politician, he carried no weapon and had no role in the conflict, he
[00:27:18] was simply baby. wars are often described through statistics:
[00:27:22] how many missiles were fired, how many buildings were destroyed, how many
[00:27:26] people were killed, because the true cost of war is not
[00:27:29] measured only by numbers, sometimes It is measured by
[00:27:33] silent cradle, by tiny piece of clothing that will
[00:27:37] never be worn, by room where a baby's cries
[00:27:41] will never be heard again. That is why the story of
[00:27:45] Muhammad Ali is more than the story of one victim. It
[00:27:48] forces simple question: when war reaches
[00:27:52] baby's room, what happens to our ideas of security,
[00:27:56] humanity, and the value of human life. For many Iranians, Muhammad
[00:27:59] Ali's name carries even deeper meaning. In shia muslim
[00:28:03] tradition, the name Aliaskar recalls the youngest son of
[00:28:07] Imam Hussein a baby who became one the most powerful
[00:28:11] symbols of innocence and suffering during the tragedy of
[00:28:14] Karbala, centuries separate Aliaskar from Muhammad
[00:28:17] Ali, different wars, different times, different
[00:28:21] places, but the image is painfully familiar. A
[00:28:25] defenceless child caught in violence, he did not choose and
[00:28:29] could never understand. For many Iranians, Muhammad Ali. became
[00:28:33] modern reminder of that same innocence, a child who had not
[00:28:36] even had the chance to discover what life was before war took
[00:28:40] it away. he was born into war and he died in it. his
[00:28:44] entire life lasted 20 days. that is why his name should
[00:28:48] never disappear into a list of casualties. for his memory to
[00:28:51] survive, his story must be told for years to come. 20
[00:28:55] days of life, lifetime of
[00:28:58] remembrance.
[00:29:14] Saudi Arabia thought it could bypass hormos. It thought its
[00:29:17] pipelines, its American weapons and its strategic partnerships could keep
[00:29:21] the oil flowing and the kingdom insulated from the consequences of
[00:29:25] regional war, but that carefully constructed illusion is now
[00:29:29] cracking. This week we examine how strikes have. the shut
[00:29:33] downown
[00:29:33] of Riyad's crucial east-west pipeline while Yemen's armed
[00:29:37] forces and Anasarulah are rapidly reshaping the strategic
[00:29:41] equation around Babel Mendib. KSA's oil
[00:29:44] bypass backfires this week on the beast
[00:29:48] stream.
[00:29:58] The situation where.
[00:30:05] With the click of a button,
[00:30:09] you can bring down nations
[00:30:11] to their
[00:30:11] needs,
[00:30:15] but don't think that decision to recognize Israel is an easy
[00:30:19] one, killing and
[00:30:22] Israel,
[00:30:27] two words that encapsulate a single concept,
[00:30:30] state terrorism. They are a kind of
[00:30:34] artificial existence. It's always been our home, it
[00:30:38] will always be our home. Our main weapon of
[00:30:42] deterrence is their fear of
[00:30:44] us.
