I discussed this we're earlier joined by professor of [00:04:10] of international law Richard [00:04:12] Falk. [00:04:16] UN system is built on the [00:04:19] premise of all [00:04:22] countries, all [00:04:24] of states, of big or small, powerful or weak, [00:04:27] being subject to the UN. [00:04:30] of show and to international law, but at the [00:04:34] same time the design [00:04:37] of the UN was one that [00:04:40] favored the winners of world war ii, [00:04:44] therefore the most powerful [00:04:47] of countries were given the [00:04:49] in of right of veto, which means that [00:04:52] of they have legally [00:04:56] grounded [00:04:57] of right [00:04:59] of to free. themselves from the [00:05:01] obligation to uphold [00:05:05] a international law, and the US and [00:05:08] its European allies have frequently us [00:05:12] use that veto not only for their [00:05:15] own policies, but [00:05:18] to protect their friends and [00:05:21] allies, principally Israel, [00:05:25] when it's under justifiable [00:05:29] criticism for its failure to [00:05:33] abide by international law, [00:05:36] so we have a [00:05:38] situation where. [00:05:42] politics was left in charge of [00:05:46] global [00:05:47] security. [00:05:52] Iraq's prime minister call for exemptions from US sanctions, targeting global [00:05:56] companies that work with Iranian airlines. Baghdad says it is in [00:06:00] contact with Washington to exclude several Iraqi airports from US [00:06:03] treasury measures linked to the new sanctions. Deputy speaker of Iraq's [00:06:07] parliament also sammed as hasty and unprofessional the [00:06:11] ban on Iranian. Passenger flights, the Iraki resistance [00:06:15] groups have also reacted. The Nijaba movement warned of airport [00:06:18] sitins if flights with Iran are not restored. Basaser movement [00:06:22] says the closing Iraqi airspace to Iranian airlines marks the start of [00:06:26] normalizing ties with the United States. Iraq'sbullah [00:06:30] also urged Iraqies to support Iran economically and counter what [00:06:34] it calls the US siege on [00:06:36] Tehran.

Iraq [00:07:42] wants to to go to to the Islamic Republic of Iran [00:07:46] because they wanted to [00:07:49] you know to visit and [00:07:51] it is [00:07:52] it is [00:07:52] it is very common that they go to Iran and also people from [00:07:56] Iran wants to come to Iraq and there is some you [00:08:00] know economic profits between the two [00:08:03] countries and there is also many many [00:08:07] many deals and many things that between the two countries that actually united [00:08:11] is not acceptable. "as we can see [00:08:14] politicians, you know, movements are [00:08:17] condemning this and they are not accepting this, and they are [00:08:21] calling for a protest near the you [00:08:24] know protest near the airports that actually block [00:08:28] the Iranian airplane companies, [00:08:32] it is, it is not accepted here, like you [00:08:35] know the there is a unity between the two [00:08:38] countries, we are in the same path, you know, ch'. [00:08:42] with the United States, this this country, which is [00:08:46] they are, they made the aggression against the [00:08:50] Islamic Republic of Iran, and they started the war, they they [00:08:54] killed the the the [00:08:56] the the students at Minap school, and [00:08:59] also you know they they targeted and [00:09:03] they and they killed the marted leader without any [00:09:07] reason, this is all shows that they are trying [00:09:10] to pressure uh Iran here by Iraq, but I don't [00:09:14] think that is going to be acceptable here from the Iraqi [00:09:18] politicians, Iraqi movement, Iraqi people, they are [00:09:22] condemning this, and I think [00:09:25] this this this situation [00:09:29] is, they are trying to pressure United States trying [00:09:33] to pressure Iran by this movement, but I don't think [00:09:37] it's going to happen, things are are [00:09:40] going, you know ' to the to this [00:09:44] spot it is uh the the Iraqi people [00:09:48] here, i can i can show you that, i can tell you that [00:09:51] that they are not actually agreeing with this kind [00:09:55] of act, i think maybe the next days if [00:09:58] the closure and the closed the air space between [00:10:02] iraq and Iran is it's going to going to [00:10:06] held the protest and they are going to be against this [00:10:09] decision because the unity. the two [00:10:13] countries right now and hopefully we'll see more nations and governments follow [00:10:17] suit and send resign message resining message uh to the US at least in [00:10:20] this region stay safe now our joining us from Baghdad.

His reports from Aleppo were [00:11:15] especially notable. Nasur lost his life while he [00:11:18] always did his best to convey the voice the Syrian [00:11:22] people to the world a time when the Arab C tree was [00:11:25] grappling with conflicts. two days before his death, noser [00:11:29] wrote on his social media account, in wars like this, there's [00:11:33] no winner or loser, everybody loses and the most who [00:11:37] pay the price are Syrians. Iran's then foreign [00:11:41] ministry slammed the terrorist attack in Damascus that led to the killing [00:11:45] the press TV reporter. Tehran said at that time that [00:11:49] the use of force and terrorist actions can never stop Syria's [00:11:52] realities from being exposed. to the world, also the [00:11:56] then director general of UNESCO voiced grave concern about the [00:12:00] targeting of journalists and called for investigation [00:12:04] into the killing of press tv reporter maya Nasir. Press [00:12:08] TV has named one of its studios after its martter [00:12:11] journalist honoring his [00:12:13] sacrifice. [00:12:17] I now joining us from teron studios is Mari, [00:12:21] newsroom director and esteemed a veteran uh anchor here uh in.

It's like you, you never think that it's [00:13:26] going to happen to yourself or your own, and when this [00:13:30] happened to Press TV correspond in my [00:13:33] Nasar, and I found out on that same ship, it was devastating of [00:13:37] course, because we talked to these people all the [00:13:40] time, and suddenly [00:13:44] he's his voice is on air, and there's a [00:13:47] disconnect, and never were able of course to connect with [00:13:51] him again, it's it's devastating, and this is the reality. of [00:13:55] war and we know, especially now, even more [00:13:58] so, the absolute devastation of wars and the [00:14:02] devastation the targeting of journalists, because journalism has [00:14:06] definitely become a crime for many [00:14:10] entities, and we know in Syria, unfortunately the [00:14:13] daish entity, US back and [00:14:17] supported terrorists group that caused [00:14:20] such havoc and bloodshed in that [00:14:24] country. that Maya was trying to uh [00:14:27] cover, trying to show the reality, and these journalists know each and [00:14:31] every day when they're in these war zones that they [00:14:35] risk their lives Danny a daily basis, but [00:14:39] because they want the truth to get out, and they do that, just as we're seeing [00:14:43] right now take place in Lebanon or in Gaza, [00:14:46] um, Yemen, just unbelievable situations [00:14:50] that's happening right now, and how journalists have been targeted [00:14:54] and... Yes, it was very, very difficult situation for all of [00:14:58] us here at Press TV's headquarters, but unfortunately it [00:15:02] was not the only time, it was not the only press TV [00:15:06] correspondent that we have lost over the years and it's [00:15:09] crazy marz where some places the world, how how much [00:15:13] how drastically the nature of this job completely transforms, whether [00:15:17] you're somewhere [00:15:18] in the streets of Switzerland or somewhere in our region, especially when there's [00:15:22] a form-backed conflict. [00:15:26] being spewing across the region, how dangerous and the risks involved, what do you really quick, [00:15:30] what do we know for with respect to, yeah, [00:15:32] actually um, before beec coming to [00:15:36] press, he had gone to the states, he had studied in the states, um, [00:15:40] and he could have stayed over there, but he had this love for journalism, [00:15:43] um, and the love for actually Press TV, being [00:15:47] able to show the other side, being able to show the sight that he [00:15:51] saw on the ground that was the truth, so he left [00:15:55] that, he went to went back to Syria, and he [00:15:59] dedicated his life, um, to tell him the truth. [00:16:03] Actually, just a couple of years ago, we had his parents here in [00:16:06] Tehran when we... open the Maya Nasir Studio here at Press [00:16:10] TV and we were honored to have several member of his [00:16:14] families uh of his family come to [00:16:18] hear Press TV's headquarters in Tehran and of course it's still [00:16:21] devastating it's 14 years later but you never [00:16:25] really overcome something like that so tragic and so [00:16:28] sudden [00:16:29] and yet Danny this is what we're seeing [00:16:32] and hearing [00:16:33] more and more a daily basis unfortunately when we look at what's happening. [00:16:37] across this region, we hope that we reach point that [00:16:41] journalism and journalists will not be targets and that [00:16:44] journalism will not be considered a crime, but for [00:16:48] those of us in the alternative media and trying to expose the [00:16:52] crimes of hegemonic forces, unfortunately [00:16:56] that's not likely to happen. all right, thank you [00:16:59] there, news room director, they're joining [00:17:02] us,wile [00:17:07] news its aggression against South Lebanon carrying out two air strikes on the outskirts of [00:17:11] Sejude another attack target Kantara in the region as well and our [00:17:14] correspondence the area awoke to two air [00:17:18] strikes that targeted the villages of sujud [00:17:21] and rafia these villages that exist in the region [00:17:25] in particular and it seems that the munitions used [00:17:29] in the targeting were bunker buster munitions [00:17:33] because the sound and the seismic effect [00:17:37] of shook the assets of multiple homes [00:17:40] in the in the surrounding areas and in the village itself [00:17:44] today conterminus with the air strikes that happened in the [00:17:48] Apple region Israeli ground forces the [00:17:51] mechanized patrol advanced further inwards into [00:17:55] the village of der [00:17:56] Mimas [00:18:01] we're approaching a second anniversary the martidom the hisbullah chief [00:18:04] say and for more than three decades he led resistance movement and guided [00:18:08] Lebanese people to difficult times in confronting US [00:18:11] Israel, lasting lessons for those who resist, lasting lessons for [00:18:15] those who resist [00:18:16] depression. [00:18:30] Two years after his martered them, the image of hezballah chief [00:18:34] sayid Hasan Nasrallah remains deeply embedded. in Lebanon's [00:18:38] political and military history also remain inspirational [00:18:42] for also remain inspirational for those resisting the Israeli [00:18:45] occupation and atrocities in the region. Martyre [00:18:49] nastralus speaches increasingly portrayed the Lebanese [00:18:53] resistance, not simply as a military force, but as [00:18:56] national [00:18:57] struggle. [00:19:01] Resistance is non-negotiable. It is not open for [00:19:05] compromise, reconsideration. thinking or reflection, [00:19:09] no matter the cost or sacrifice. nastrala's words [00:19:13] resonated with people's grievances, beliefs and [00:19:16] ordinary people a sense of ordinary people a sense of [00:19:20] agency and hope, in contrast to the politically driven speeches [00:19:24] of many autocratic arab leaders. in [00:19:28] july 2006 captured two Israel soldiers [00:19:32] in crossborder operation, Israel responded with a [00:19:35] month long war that the... revestated large parts of Lebanon and [00:19:39] displays hundreds of thousands of people. Throughout the [00:19:43] 33-day war, nastra's televised addresses became [00:19:47] a constant feature the battle. After the ceasefire, when he [00:19:51] appeared publicly in Beirut, hundreds of thousands gathered to [00:19:55] hear him speak. This [00:19:59] is the victory the real Lebanon, the victory the real people of [00:20:02] Lebanon and [00:20:03] all the loyal people in this country. Almost a day after. [00:20:07] Israel's genocidal war on Gaza began in October [00:20:10] 2023, Hezbollah carried out the retaliatory [00:20:14] strike. The Lebanese Resistance movement realized what happened [00:20:18] in Gaza was not a passing event, but rather a political [00:20:22] and military earthquake in West Asia. The decision to [00:20:26] join the support front was made to preserve the principles and [00:20:29] ideas the resistance discourse. Sayid Hasan [00:20:33] Nasrallah wowed that Lebanon will make the ultimate sacrifice. [00:20:50] taken on the responsibility of supporting Gaza, we tell Netanyahu and [00:20:53] Gallant, the Lebanese front will not stop until the war on Gaza [00:20:57] ends. A year later, he fulfilled that wow with [00:21:01] his blood. He was assassinated by Israel in Beirot [00:21:04] along with the number of his companions. Nastrala's [00:21:08] funeral in the Lebanese capital became one the largest in [00:21:12] Lebanon's recent history. The massive turnout offered [00:21:16] a visual testament to the loyalty he commanded and the political... [00:21:20] symbolic weight he had accumulated over decades. [00:21:24] Today Lebanon's political sin remains turbulent, considering [00:21:28] vicious in Israel to disarm Hezbollah, Israel to disarm [00:21:31] Hezbollah. The Lebanese Resistance, however, is vigilant and won't [00:21:35] allow enemies implement their plans. According to [00:21:39] Hazbullah Secretary general Sheikh Naim Qasem, resistance [00:21:43] is the only way for confronting global arrogance and [00:21:46] Israel. [00:21:52] Representatives of Islamic palestinian jihad movements in [00:21:55] Iran, [00:21:56] abu sharif is earlier in our studio, talk about legacy of March [00:22:00] chief say listen to an extract from that [00:22:04] interview, he is [00:22:07] one the most historic and symbolic figures and the [00:22:11] maker of victories for the resistance, true he [00:22:15] went in his physical and material bodily [00:22:18] form, but he remained. وهذه المرحله التاريخيه [00:22:22] باعتقادي هو احد مؤسسي او [00:22:25] باني مداميكها الاساسيه في [00:22:28] مقاومه القيان الصهيوني [00:22:31] وفي [00:22:33] مقاومه ايه كبيره [00:22:36] مهمه في [00:22:37] تاريخناهم [00:22:41] اهم القضايا الاساسيه التي قادها [00:22:44] ماسسه المقاومه [00:22:48] المقاونه. [00:22:58] was able to build a resistance that can stand the [00:23:01] face of this arrogant [00:23:05] strong regional [00:23:06] power, one the [00:23:09] and main characteristics of this personality, characteristics [00:23:13] of this personality is that he was [00:23:17] also a focal point for the resistance. [00:23:58] and confront all those disinformation, the false [00:24:02] information, the lies that were fabricated against the [00:24:06] resistance by the Israeli [00:24:07] media, [00:24:12] israel occupation forces of storm be university of Romal and occupied west [00:24:16] bank raids drawing condemnation to the educational institution and [00:24:20] University described the move as flagrant and explicit [00:24:23] violation of its sanctity as well as international laws a [00:24:27] guarantee protection of educational institutions. It also referred [00:24:31] to intimidation and terror that were coupled with Israel's raid. Meanwhile in [00:24:35] other incidents in the occupied west bank Israely forces to storm Galandia refugee [00:24:38] camp and city of Albeira. The regime troops also closed [00:24:42] military gates at the entrances near Bethlehem restricting the movement [00:24:46] to Palestinians and vehicles since the goza genocide began. and Israeli [00:24:50] violence and crackdown against Palestinians and occupied West Bank have been on the [00:24:54] rise. [00:25:12] They call themselves Unsarula or the supporters of God and [00:25:16] regard confronting American and Israeli aggression and domination in the region. [00:25:20] is one their principal objectives. They are among the most courageous [00:25:24] fighters of our time, men who face bombardment and death, [00:25:28] yet refuse to retreat even a single step from their beliefs in their [00:25:32] path of resistance. For years, they have fought Saudi [00:25:35] Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in defense of Yemen, a [00:25:39] war backed by American military support.
