[00:00:58] hello everyone, welcome to press tv world.
[00:01:02] of
[00:01:06] of of
[00:01:17] of
[00:01:47] of
[00:01:53] of
[00:01:54] of
[00:02:06] American media Outlet CBS News where he stress that Iran remains fully committed
[00:02:10] to the mou and
[00:02:11] a ready implement if he also set any path toward resolving the
[00:02:14] of conflict has to be based on dialogue patience and tolerance
[00:02:18] referring to Iran's attacks or attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities the
[00:02:22] Iranian president said no country has legal right to attack nuclear sites
[00:02:26] under inspection
[00:02:27] of the IAEA and within the NPT framework. posicion called on
[00:02:31] the US to stop supporting the Israeli regime which is carrying out
[00:02:34] genocide in Gaza and urged Washington act on the basis of
[00:02:38] justice and
[00:02:42] of fairness.
[00:02:43] of Political
[00:02:44] of analyst Stanislav was earlier with us with this take on the situation
[00:02:48] of of the Strater Harmose and Iran's demand for its
[00:02:49] reopening. There can be
[00:02:53] no agreement at this stage
[00:02:54] of the conflict. This isn't just a mere conflict. It is so
[00:02:58] big. needs a different end
[00:03:01] game, an end game that changes and reshapes
[00:03:05] firstly the whole region and then showing the world
[00:03:09] the
[00:03:10] of of pattern for
[00:03:11] the new global security architecture. the US cannot admit
[00:03:15] defeat even when it is being defeated and it is being
[00:03:19] of defeated right now, and Iran can't and shouldn't accept
[00:03:23] something that doesn't legitimize its
[00:03:27] new role and the new power. dynamic in the
[00:03:30] region, i think new
[00:03:34] in phase of military escalation is its way, some would say
[00:03:38] and are saying it would come after the midterms in the
[00:03:43] of US, a but the precise date or week or month they are
[00:03:47] irrelevant, what is important that
[00:03:50] is
[00:03:51] it is happening and it is happening even now
[00:03:55] because it includes both the preparation time and the
[00:03:59] spilling
[00:03:59] of the conflict around the region that we witness already for the
[00:04:03] of last month, even during these last two days
[00:04:07] september 25th and
[00:04:11] of 26th, five more US military transport airplanes landed
[00:04:14] in Sofia from the UK and then continue
[00:04:18] to the middle east and this is just a part of it, a small
[00:04:22] part, this is just the same logistical
[00:04:26] of arm that is still active and is one
[00:04:28] of the elements eran must break in order to achieve the
[00:04:31] long-term win and then to sit on the table to negotiate.
[00:04:35] this would be, in my opinion, the final
[00:04:39] phase,
[00:04:40] in and this time the result would be final final change of
[00:04:43] balance on multiple local fronts in favor of
[00:04:47] Iran. number
[00:04:51] of world leaders have addressed you and general assembly in the past few days and reps
[00:04:55] from number
[00:04:56] of other countries will do the same today and in the days to come and some speeches have drawn pr.
[00:05:00] while others have triggered condemnation. US president speech for example
[00:05:04] contain multiple false and misleading claims and the Israel prime minister's
[00:05:07] of address has also been slammed as
[00:05:09] of filled with deceptions and lies. I discussed this so we
[00:05:12] of earlier. by professor of international law, Richard
[00:05:14] Falk,
[00:05:19] UN system is built on the
[00:05:22] premise of all
[00:05:25] countries, all states, big or small,
[00:05:29] powerful or weak, being subject to the UN
[00:05:33] charter and to international
[00:05:36] law, but at the same time the
[00:05:39] design the UN.
[00:05:43] one that favored the winners of world war
[00:05:46] ii, therefore the most powerful
[00:05:50] countries were given the right of veto,
[00:05:53] which means that they
[00:05:56] have legally
[00:05:59] grounded right to free
[00:06:03] themselves from the obligation to
[00:06:07] uphold international law,
[00:06:10] and the US and European
[00:06:13] allies have frequently used that
[00:06:16] veto not only for their own
[00:06:20] policies, but to protect their
[00:06:23] friends and allies,
[00:06:26] principally Israel, when it's
[00:06:29] under justifiable
[00:06:32] criticism for its failure to
[00:06:36] abide by international law,
[00:06:39] so we have a...
[00:06:42] situation where
[00:06:45] geopolitics was left in
[00:06:48] charge of global
[00:06:50] security?
[00:06:58] spokesman for Iran's defense ministry says enemies have failed their
[00:07:01] calculations about Iran's military capacity brigador
[00:07:05] general nick said
[00:07:07] parts of strategic military equipmentts been kept in secure environments
[00:07:10] and underground infrastructure. Head Iran's enemies pursued common
[00:07:14] objectives in several wars in the country, including attempts to overthrow the
[00:07:18] Islamic Republic, weaken its regional power and resistance front and
[00:07:22] undermine a strategic position. That noted adversaries failed to
[00:07:26] achieve any their
[00:07:27] objectives.
[00:07:34] New York's prime ministers call for exemptions from US sanctions targeting global companies
[00:07:37] that work with Iranian airlines and Baghdad says is in contact with
[00:07:41] Washington. exclude several Iraqi airports and the US
[00:07:45] treasury measures linked to the new sanctions, deputy speaker, Iraq's
[00:07:49] parliament also slamed as hasty and unprofessional deban on
[00:07:52] Iranian passenger flights. Iraki resistance groups have also weighed in with the
[00:07:56] Nijaba movement warning of airport sitins if flights aren't resumed.
[00:08:00] Abasir movement also says closing Iraqi airspace to Iranian airlines a start of
[00:08:04] normalizing ties with the US and Iraq's khat of hezbolah also
[00:08:08] urged Iraqies to support Iran economically and counter what it
[00:08:11] calls. siege on
[00:08:13] Tehran,
[00:08:21] now we're approaching a second anniversary the martim the hezballah chief saysan
[00:08:25] Astralan, for more than three decades, led the resistance movement and
[00:08:28] guided the Lebanese people through difficult times in confronting US Israeli
[00:08:32] belligerants, his life and sacrifice left lasting lessons for
[00:08:36] those who resist
[00:08:37] oppression.
[00:08:50] two years after his martydom, the image of Hazbullah chief
[00:08:54] Sayyad Hasan Nasrullah remains deeply embedded in Lebanon's
[00:08:58] political and military history. His legacy and
[00:09:02] discourse also remain inspirational for those resisting the
[00:09:05] Israeli occupation and atrocities in the region.
[00:09:09] Martyre nastralus speeches increasingly. portrayed the
[00:09:13] Lebanese resistance, not simply as a military force, but as
[00:09:17] national
[00:09:17] struggle.
[00:09:22] Resistance is non-negotiable, it is not open for
[00:09:25] compromise, reconsideration, rethinking or reflection,
[00:09:29] no matter the cost or sacrifice. words
[00:09:33] resonated with people's grievances, beliefs and
[00:09:36] hopes for the future, they gave ordinary people a sense of
[00:09:40] agency and hope in count to the politically driven speeches of
[00:09:44] many autocratic Arab leaders. In
[00:09:48] July 2006, Hezball captured two Israeli
[00:09:52] soldiers a cross-border operation. Israel responded with
[00:09:56] a month long war that devastated large parts of Lebanon and
[00:10:00] displays hundreds of thousands of people. Throughout the
[00:10:03] 33-day war, nastra televised addresses became
[00:10:07] a constant feature the battle. After the ceasefire, when he
[00:10:11] appeared public.
[00:10:12] clean Beirot, hundreds of thousands gathered to hear him
[00:10:16] speak. This is the victory
[00:10:20] the real Lebanon, the victory the real people of Lebanon and all
[00:10:24] the loyal people in the... country almost the day after
[00:10:27] Israel's genocidal war on Gaza began in October
[00:10:31] 2023, Hazbolah carried out the retaliatory
[00:10:34] strike. The Lebanese Resistance movement realized
[00:10:38] what happened in Gaza was not a passing event, but rather a
[00:10:42] political and military earthquake in West Asia. The
[00:10:45] decision to join the support front was made to preserve the principles
[00:10:49] and ideas the resistance discourse. Sayid
[00:10:53] Hasan Nasrallah wow.
[00:11:04] In the name the marters, the wounded, the ones who lost their eyes and
[00:11:07] palms, and in the name of every person who has taken on the responsibility of
[00:11:11] supporting gaza, we tell Netanyahu and gallant, the Lebanese
[00:11:15] front will not stop until the war on Gaza ends. A year
[00:11:19] later, he fulfilled that wow with his blood, he was
[00:11:23] assassinated by Israel in...
[00:11:25] root along with number of his companions. nastrast
[00:11:29] funeral in the Lebanese capital became one the largest in
[00:11:32] Lebanon's recent history. the massive turnout offered
[00:11:36] a visual testament to the loyalty he commanded and the political
[00:11:40] and symbolic weight he had accumulated over
[00:11:43] decades. today Lebanon's political sin remains
[00:11:46] turbulent considering vicious plots hatched by the United States
[00:11:50] and Israel to disarm Hezbollah. the Lebanese resistance
[00:11:54] however is vigilant and won't allow enemies implement their
[00:11:58] plans. according to Hazbullah secretary general Sheikh Naim
[00:12:01] Qasim, resistance is the only way for confronting
[00:12:05] global arrogance and
[00:12:06] Israel.

[00:12:21] interview.
[00:13:05] and of course what he did and he was one the founders the resistance and one the
[00:13:09] main issues that he did was to found and establish this
[00:13:12] resistance
[00:13:16] and was able to build a resistance that can stand
[00:13:19] in the face of this arrogant

[00:16:16] Press TV as a correspondent. He courageously
[00:16:19] reported from conflict zones during the war on Syria. His
[00:16:23] reports from Aleppo were especially notable. Nasir lost
[00:16:27] his life while he always did his best to convey the voice the
[00:16:31] Syrian people to the world a time when the Arab country
[00:16:35] was grappling with conflicts today. Before his death
[00:16:38] Noster wrote on his social media account, in wars like
[00:16:42] this, there's no winner or loser, everybody loses and
[00:16:46] the most who pay the price are Syrians. Iran's
[00:16:50] then foreign ministry slammed the terrorist attack in Damascus that led
[00:16:53] to the killing the press TV reporter. Tehran said at
[00:16:57] that time that the use of force and terrorist actions can never
[00:17:01] stop Syria's realities from being exposed to the

[00:18:28] We are here today because we want to strike against conscription, against
[00:18:31] militarization and against reon. We see cuts to social
[00:18:35] services in our everyday lives.
[00:19:07] for a country that does so little for the younger generation, we simply
[00:19:11] don't want to die a war, we want to have a future, and that's why

[00:23:47] everyone, thanks for joining us and goodbye for now.
[00:26:11] The question now circulating through business and political circles around the world
[00:26:15] is this: does Iran have the right to charge ships for passing through the
[00:26:19] straight of Hormus? The answer is not simple: Hormus is natural
[00:26:23] international straight, but does being natural mean being
[00:26:27] cost-free, the modern world still runs on maritime
[00:26:30] transport, more than 80% of... global trade moves by sea
[00:26:34] oil, gas, food, metals,
[00:26:37] medicine, cars, industrial components, and
[00:26:41] consumer goods, all travel between continents by ship, in other
[00:26:45] words, the backbone of global trade is still shipping, and these vast
[00:26:49] oceans depend a handful of narrow, highly sensitive passages,
[00:26:53] the suez canal, the Panama Canal,
[00:26:56] bab, mandeb, the straight of Malaca,
[00:27:00] Gibraltar, and the... of hormos, the
[00:27:03] energy artery the Persian Gulf. Some these roots are
[00:27:07] artificial, they were once land, then transformed into waterways
[00:27:11] through massive human investment. Sues and Panama are clear
[00:27:15] examples, giant engineering projects built and operated
[00:27:19] through excavation, dredging, traffic management, constant
[00:27:22] maintenance and complex infrastructure. That is why passage
[00:27:26] through them is not free. But the story of Suez is not
[00:27:30] only economic, it is deep. political. For years,
[00:27:34] Britain and France benefited from the canal's revenues. In
[00:27:37] 1956, Gamal Abdel Nasir nationalized the
[00:27:41] Sues Canal and declared that waterway located on Egyptian
[00:27:45] soil had to be under Egyptian sovereignty. Despite the military
[00:27:49] attack launched by Israel, Britain and France to reverse that
[00:27:52] decision, and despite intense international pressure, control
[00:27:56] and revenue the canal ultimately remained with Egypt, a
[00:28:00] canal whose annual revenue in peak years. has passed the $10
[00:28:03] billion dollar mark, but not all choke points are artificial, some are
[00:28:07] natural, such as the Bosperos and the Dardinells in Turkey,
[00:28:11] the straight of Malaca, Gibraltar, and the
[00:28:15] straight of Hormus. In natural straights, states
[00:28:19] generally cannot charge vessels simply for the active passage, in the
[00:28:23] same way road tool is collected, but that does not mean these roots
[00:28:27] carry no costs. In many such passages, fees are
[00:28:31] collected for specific. services, navigational
[00:28:34] assistance, lighthouse services, search and
[00:28:37] rescue, pilotage, tug
[00:28:40] support, port management, traffic
[00:28:43] control and environmental protection.
[00:28:47] Now return to Hormus. The Straight of Hormus is one the
[00:28:50] busiest and most sensitive maritime roots on earth. Every
[00:28:54] day, around 200 vessels may pass through this narrow
[00:28:57] corridor, oil tankers, LNG carriers,
[00:29:01] chemical tankers. container ships and even naval
[00:29:05] vessels. In such an environment, a collision between two
[00:29:09] ships is not a simple accident. Lives can be put at
[00:29:13] risk, chipping lanes can be disrupted, millions of dollars
[00:29:16] in damage can occur, oil, fuel or chemicals can
[00:29:20] spill into the waters the Persian Gulf. This is not two
[00:29:24] cars scraping bumpers a street, it can become an
[00:29:28] environmental and economic crisis, but unlike
[00:29:31] cars, mas vessels need significant time,
[00:29:34] distance and coordination to change course or come to a full
[00:29:38] stop. That is why passage
[00:29:42] through Hormus requires constant management. Just like
[00:29:45] crowded urban road, the straight of Hormus needs designated
[00:29:49] inbound and outbound lanes, traffic separation
[00:29:53] zones, maritime warnings, coastal
[00:29:56] monitoring, radio coordination and
[00:29:59] crisis management mechanisms. Iran
[00:30:03] and Oman, as the coastal states
[00:30:05] the straight, have carried major share
[00:30:08] of this responsibility, while the global economy has
[00:30:12] benefited from
[00:30:12] this route, much the burden has remained with the region: air and
[00:30:16] water pollution, the risk of fuel spills, possible
[00:30:20] collisions, search and rescue
[00:30:22] operations, wider security and
[00:30:26] environmental consequences. In this context, Iran's
[00:30:30] question becomes easier to understand. Is it reasonable for the
[00:30:34] world to benefit from vital straight without contributing to the cost of
[00:30:38] keeping it safe? And more importantly, is it fair for countries that
[00:30:41] depend on the security of this route to impose political pressure,
[00:30:45] economic sanctions and even war on Iran, while still
[00:30:49] expecting essential services in this corridor to continue free of
[00:30:53] charge. From Iran's perspective, the ear of providing
[00:30:57] such services without compensation is over. This does not mean
[00:31:01] closing maritime roots. or using
