[00:01:03] if they make another miscalculation, the Islamic Republic's response
[00:01:07] will be stronger and more
[00:01:10] in extensive. first of all, the
[00:01:14] readiness
[00:01:14] of the armed forces is at 100%. the armed forces are
[00:01:18] significantly stronger than they were at the beginning
[00:01:20] of the 12-day war and the Ramadan war. thankfully, in terms of
[00:01:24] equipment,
[00:01:25] of capabilities, and technology, we have worked to
[00:01:27] of draw on the lessons learned from previous imposed war.

[00:02:35] of of Islamic Republic saying that such
[00:02:35] in of unilateral measures amount economic
[00:02:38] terrorism.
[00:02:42] Unilateral cohersive measures continue to be used as
[00:02:45] of as instruments of political pressure against developing
[00:02:48] countries. Iran has faced such measures for decades
[00:02:52] and they have intensified in recent years and
[00:02:55] months. US sanctions directly affect the daily lives of
[00:02:59] our people. by restricting trade,
[00:03:03] finance, medicines, technology, education and scientific
[00:03:07] cooperation, from our perspective, their
[00:03:10] devastating impact on ordinary people amounts economic
[00:03:13] terrorism. the United Nations must oppose such
[00:03:17] coercive measures and call for their complete
[00:03:21] and unconditional
[00:03:22] removal.
[00:03:26] Dr. Araqchi made the remarks a un meeting. on China's
[00:03:30] global development initiative, he said Iran defended
[00:03:34] its sovereignty
[00:03:35] of against the US in Isready attacks, stressing that the international
[00:03:39] community must condemn the war crimes against the Iranian
[00:03:42] nation. Adolshey cited the USA attacks a
[00:03:46] of school a in the Iranian city of Minab, sports hall in
[00:03:49] Lamerd
[00:03:50] of and the Medical Research Postor Institute in Tehran,
[00:03:54] saying these facilities for education, sports and
[00:03:57] medicine
[00:03:58] of a were reduced to rubble. he
[00:04:03] of of said such attacks exposed the inhumane nature
[00:04:03] of the US aggression and must never be normalized or
[00:04:06] whitewashed. Iranian foreign minister said over 500
[00:04:10] people including women and children were killed in the US and
[00:04:14] aggressions. Iraqji said the assassination
[00:04:18] of the leader
[00:04:18] of the Islamic Revolution and Iran's senior political and
[00:04:22] military officials was heinous crime and a flagrant
[00:04:26] violation of international law.
[00:04:30] Iran's Supreme National Security Council's
[00:04:33] secretariat says Tehran is
[00:04:35] of pursuing negotiations with relevant countries to lift the unlawful
[00:04:39] U.S. restrictions on air travel while warning that
[00:04:47] of of several non-military retaliatory options could be applied to certain airports if necessary. The
[00:04:50] Secretariat
[00:04:51] of says efforts to resolve
[00:04:53] of the issue are
[00:04:53] of being seriously pursued and expresses hope that the situation
[00:04:57] will not escalate any further. Meanwhile, bad
[00:05:01] organization secretary general Hadi al-Amiri strongly condemned
[00:05:05] the US blockade of Iran, particularly the recent restrictions
[00:05:09] and flights, he urged Iraq's government not to
[00:05:12] submit to the measures, saying the issue is a test of Iraq's
[00:05:16] full sovereignty. Earlier, Iraq's prime minister call
[00:05:20] for exemption from the US sanctions, targeting global
[00:05:24] companies that work with the Iranian airlines.
[00:05:27] Baghdad says it is in contact with Washington to
[00:05:31] exclude several Iraqi airports from the US treasury

[00:05:37] sanctions.
[00:05:43] Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has addressed the
[00:05:47] 81st session the UN General Assembly in New
[00:05:50] York saying the world is undergoing major shifts toward a
[00:05:54] multipolar world order and accusing the west of
[00:05:58] using force to preserve its global
[00:06:00] privileges.
[00:06:04] The western minority which dominated for
[00:06:08] 500 years thanks to others resources.
[00:06:12] continues to try to maintain its privileges and to impose its own rules on
[00:06:16] everyone else. the west continues to use brute force to
[00:06:20] act unpredictably, to engage in all sorts of ventures, putting
[00:06:24] at risk the life and prosperity of millions if not billions of people on our
[00:06:28] planet. it is unacceptable the fact that force was used
[00:06:31] to kill the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali
[00:06:35] Khamenei, and members of his family, members the military and
[00:06:39] political leadership the Islamic Republic of Iran, we're particularly disquited. the fact
[00:06:43] that the US and Israeli aggression, which
[00:06:46] began in June of last year, also
[00:06:49] seeks to target the civilian infrastructure in Iran
[00:06:53] and civilian nuclear infrastructure under
[00:06:57] IEA safeguards. This dealt an irreversible blow to
[00:07:01] the authority the agency and the entire nuclear non-poliferation
[00:07:04] system. Repeated armed confrontations in
[00:07:08] the Persian Gulf and the Homo Straight are ongoing despite the fact that this
[00:07:11] is a dealing a blow to global
[00:07:15] navigation and
[00:07:16] trade. Cuman foreign
[00:07:20] minister Bruno Rodriguez rejects unilateral course of
[00:07:24] measures and intimidation saying the law the jungle cannot be
[00:07:27] humanity's
[00:07:28] future.
[00:07:32] We strongly believe that the current trend of
[00:07:36] international relations of disrespect for
[00:07:40] international law and the United
[00:07:43] Nations and the imposition the unilateral will the
[00:07:47] mighties over other countries by means of
[00:07:51] intimidation and coersion. We believe that this is dangerous
[00:07:54] and
[00:07:55] it is unsustainable. The law the jungle cannot
[00:07:59] be the future of humanity. Process relies on the
[00:08:02] strengths that we have been able to addressing the UN general
[00:08:06] assembly. Rodriguez said Cuba rejected any military intervention
[00:08:10] in Latin America and the Caribbean. He condemned the US,
[00:08:14] use of force worldwide and denounced therey crimes in
[00:08:17] Gaza and the war in Iran. He described the US
[00:08:20] blockade of Cuba as an act of war and collective
[00:08:24] punishment, saying it directly harms the Cuban people.
[00:08:28] Rodriguez also condemned Washington's attempts to topple
[00:08:32] the Cuban government through economic
[00:08:34] suffocation.
[00:08:39] China has called for disputes to be resolved. through dialogue
[00:08:43] warning against unilateral military actions that undermine the
[00:08:47] authority the united
[00:08:48] nations.
[00:08:52] we should settle differences and disputes through dialogue and
[00:08:55] consultation and oppose unilateral
[00:08:59] military actions that violate the UN charter and
[00:09:03] circumband security council
[00:09:05] authorization. major countries
[00:09:08] should the Chinese vice president made remarks at the the
[00:09:12] first session the United Nations General Assembly, he emphasized that
[00:09:16] the world wants peace, not war and called for
[00:09:19] common, comprehensive and cooperative security. The
[00:09:23] Chinese official rejected a cold war mindset and
[00:09:26] confrontation, hand urged an end to the US blockade and
[00:09:30] sanctions against Cuba and defended multilateralism
[00:09:34] and a rules-based global trading
[00:09:36] system.
[00:09:43] people across the globe are marking the second mortingdom
[00:09:47] anniversary the late Hezbulah Secretary General Sad
[00:09:51] Hasan Asrulla. Throughout his life, he remained a
[00:09:54] prominent advocate the Palestinian cause, repeatedly
[00:09:58] voicing support for the Palestinian people
[00:10:00] and pledging solidarity with
[00:10:03] Gaza.
[00:10:10] Leader of Lebana's resistance movement, recently presented the
[00:10:13] Palestinian cause as a central part of Hisbollah's political
[00:10:16] identity and regional struggle. From becoming Hisbollah Secretary
[00:10:20] General in 1992 until his marturdom in September 2024.
[00:10:25] for he repeatedly placed Palestine, al Quds and the right the
[00:10:28] Palestinian people, at the heart of his speaches, political
[00:10:32] positions, and warfront struggles. For the martered his law
[00:10:36] leader, the palestinian cause was not a temporary political issue, but a
[00:10:40] longstanding commitment connected to what he described as
[00:10:43] resistance against Israely occupation. We
[00:10:47] will never abandon alcuds, all people must repeat with the Palestinian
[00:10:51] people, we will be millions of marters sacrifice for alcuds, we will.
[00:10:55] give all our time to alkuds and the Palestinians, the Palestinian cause
[00:10:58] remains the central cause the Arab and Muslim peoples. We will continue to
[00:11:02] stand with the Palestinian people. His support was not limited
[00:11:06] to speeches, as Wallah maintained close relationship with Hamas,
[00:11:10] Palestinian Islamic jihad and other Palestinian factions while
[00:11:14] Sad Hasan Nasrullah hosted and met with Palestinian leaders.
[00:11:18] Following the alaqsa flood operation and the most recent round of genocide
[00:11:22] in Gaza, Hesbollah began exchanging fire. the Israeli
[00:11:25] forces, the resistance group was described as a support front for
[00:11:29] Gaza and the Palestinian people. the martered resistance leader had
[00:11:33] planned this war on the Israeli regime as a way to place
[00:11:37] pressure and divert Israeli military sources away from
[00:11:41] Gaza. Nasrullah's first major public speech after October
[00:11:44] 7 came on November 3rd, 2023. In that
[00:11:48] speech he described the October 7 operation as a Palestinian
[00:11:52] operation and rejected claims that Hezballah or Iran had planned
[00:11:56] it. At the same time, he openly expressed support for the
[00:11:59] Palestinian cause and warned that the situation on the Lebanese front
[00:12:03] would depend heavily on what happened in
[00:12:06] Gaza.
[00:12:10] What happens on the Lebanese Front will depend on what happens in Gaza. All
[00:12:13] scenarios are open on our Lebanese Southern Front. The possibility of this
[00:12:17] front escalating into a full fledged war or becoming a wider war is
[00:12:21] realistic. Throughout the following months.
[00:12:25] launching rockets, missiles and drones toward Israeli military
[00:12:28] positions and other targets. In July 2024, Said
[00:12:32] Hasan said Hamas was negotiating on behalf the broader axis
[00:12:36] of resistance and stated that if Hamas accepted sease fire
[00:12:40] agreement for Gaza, then Hizbullah would accept it as well and stop its
[00:12:44] attacks on the Israeli regime. In the final moments of his life,
[00:12:48] the martered resistance leader continued to present Hazbals confrontation
[00:12:52] with the Israeli regime as directly connected to. palestine,
[00:12:55] his message was that Lebana's resistance cannot stand aside
[00:12:59] while Palestinians in Gaza are under Israeli military
[00:13:03] attacks. After all these wounds, and all
[00:13:07] these pains, I clearly say that whatever the sacrifices, whatever
[00:13:10] the consequences, the possibilities or the horizon to which the region
[00:13:14] goes, the resistance in Lebanon will not stop backing and supporting the people
[00:13:18] of Gaza, the west bank and the vulnerable in this holy
[00:13:21] land. Said Hasanlah was murtered in.
[00:13:25] Israel on September 27,
[00:13:28] 2024, he left behind a legacy of
[00:13:31] steadfast resistance against Israeli occupation and a
[00:13:35] lasting commitment to Palestine, and Quods and the people of
[00:13:39] Gaza. Akhelled throughout his
[00:13:42] leadership and reaffirmed until his final
[00:13:45] days. Iraq has
[00:13:49] held a ceremony to honor the memory of latest
[00:13:52] secretary general Said Hasan Nasro. on the occasion of
[00:13:56] his second mortidom anniversary, he was assassinated by this
[00:14:00] regime an air strike on the lebanese capital Beirot in

[00:15:50] done to to palestine to lebanon to the south of
[00:15:53] lebanon
[00:15:54] it is
[00:15:54] it is not acceptable these people are condemning these
[00:15:57] act people in
[00:16:01] goza also commemorated the second anniversary of
[00:16:04] sayid mortidom honoring the late his
[00:16:07] leader for his longstanding support for the Palestinian
[00:16:11] cause and also resistance, describing his legacy as
[00:16:15] one that continues to resonate across the
[00:16:18] region.
[00:16:22] Firstly, we extend our deepest condolences to our brothers in
[00:16:25] Lebanon who have sacrificed their blood on the road to al-Quds.
[00:16:29] Hasan Nasrallah, the iconic leader gave his life defending the
[00:16:33] Palestinian cause and South Lebanon. His wish was to pray at
[00:16:37] al-Aqsa mosque, and he deeply believed that one day justice would
[00:16:41] be served to our people. When the al-Aqsa flood erupted,
[00:16:45] Nasralah emphasized the need for a united front against the Israeli
[00:16:48] occupation. From Gaza, with grief and pride, we
[00:16:52] extend our condolences to the Hizballah
[00:16:54] leadership. The memory of
[00:16:58] say lives on as we feel the absence of a man and a
[00:17:02] leader whose words once resonated across the region and
[00:17:05] unsettled his adversaries. We followed each of his
[00:17:09] speeches, knowing that this iconic resistance figure would be difficult to
[00:17:13] replace or replicate. His loss is deeply felt across
[00:17:16] the Islamic and Arab world, particularly at this extremely critical
[00:17:20] juncture when the region is experiencing military escalation and the
[00:17:24] U.S. Israeli
[00:17:25] aggression.
[00:17:30] We mourn the loss of a great leader who spared no effort in
[00:17:34] supporting the Palestinian cause and resistance.
[00:18:07] who remained committed to his stated position until his final
[00:18:11] breath, fully aware the heavy price that commitment could
[00:18:14] carry. On this day, we mourn a figure many
[00:18:17] regard as a symbol of resistance and resilience. His
[00:18:21] legacy continues to be adopted by Hezbulah under Sheikh Naim
[00:18:24] Kassem, reflecting the organization's commitment to Palestine. We
[00:18:28] remember his words, his positions, and the choices he made in support of
[00:18:32] Palestine.
[00:18:37] Gaza's economy has collapsed to an unprecedented
[00:18:41] level with GDP per capital falling to just
[00:18:44] 58 cents a day and 2025 according
[00:18:48] to the UN trade body, but behind the numbers is a daily
[00:18:52] reality of shortages, soring prices and families are struggling
[00:18:56] to survive under a continuing siege.
[00:18:59] Ibrahim reports on
[00:19:01] this. Gaza's GDP
[00:19:04] per capita fell to just 58 cents. in
[00:19:07] 2025 as the territories economy entered what the you want trade
[00:19:11] but it describes as the world's most severe economic crisis on
[00:19:15] record for families like this one however the collapse
[00:19:19] is not an abstract statistic it means it's struggling to
[00:19:23] obtain things once considered
[00:19:25] ordinary for six months haven't
[00:19:29] received any food parcels i have three daughters and after the
[00:19:33] war everything we had is gone now we can barely find
[00:19:37] any the essentials, you say half dollar a day, but
[00:19:40] even that is above our reality. some
[00:19:43] 92% of economic establishments have been destroyed,
[00:19:47] while unemployment has reached 78%. at
[00:19:51] the same time, the prices remain 274%
[00:19:55] above their 2022 levels. the figures take on
[00:19:59] an even more stark meaning wins against gaz
[00:20:02] humanitarian conditions.
[00:20:06] israel been engineering death in Gaza, today it is
[00:20:10] also engineering an unlivable situation. Trickles of aid are
[00:20:14] allowed through the Israel controlled crossings, amounts only meant to keep people
[00:20:18] alive, not to sustain healthy population or provide food
[00:20:22] security. Only 33% their amount stipulated in the
[00:20:26] ceasefire agreement were allowed into Gaza, which is less than quarter. The
[00:20:29] consequences these policies are evident in the everyday life of people
[00:20:33] here. 11 months after the October 2025.
[00:20:37] fire agreement, un reports describe severe restrictions on
[00:20:41] humanitarian access, only around a quarter of
[00:20:44] Adam stipulated in the seesfire deal have entered
[00:20:48] Gaza. Ucha has... also reported that in flows fill by
[00:20:52] 37% in the three months after January
[00:20:56] 2026, compared with the previous 3 month
[00:20:59] period. The aid families
[00:21:03] received does not cover even 10% their needs. It is
[00:21:07] insufficient and does not provide the nutrients necessary to help
[00:21:11] tackle anemia or malnutrition. Most parcels contain
[00:21:14] flour and lentals, but lack protein sources. Most
[00:21:18] families have also been. dependent on these parcels for years as what
[00:21:22] is available in markets remains unaffordable and nearly year
[00:21:26] after the ceasefire agreement, hunger and
[00:21:29] malnutrition remain wide spread. more than 1.4
[00:21:33] million people, around 67% of gaza's
[00:21:37] population are projected to face a crisis level food
[00:21:40] insecurity or worse between july and december
[00:21:43] 2026. chronic malnutrition affects about one and eight
[00:21:47] children under five for gazas. families,
[00:21:50] these are not simply figures on economic chart, they are
[00:21:54] the empty shelves, unaffordable essentials
[00:21:58] and a reality of life a territory where the
[00:22:02] occupations policies continue to tighten the
[00:22:05] safocating seat rahim for press tv, ghaza
[00:22:09] city, palestine
[00:22:10] a large pro
[00:22:14] palestinian demonstration has taken place in Duseldorf,
[00:22:17] Germany under the moto, we will... not forget Gaza
[00:22:21] organizers say around 20,00 people took part in
[00:22:25] the rally. Our correspondent dines tells
[00:22:28] us more.
[00:22:32] This demonstration is in line of growing number
[00:22:35] of protest against the
[00:22:39] complicity in imperious crimes
[00:22:42] the Germany government both in west Asia
[00:22:46] but also in eastern eastern.
[00:22:50] europe and there is it's
[00:22:54] once again evidence for the growing pressure on
[00:22:57] gentlemen is government let's remember last week there
[00:23:01] were local elections in one the the german
[00:23:05] states in the capital berlin and the government party the conservative party
[00:23:08] of heavily loss in in these
[00:23:12] elections in in the state elections they were even kicked out the
[00:23:16] parliament the very first time since 1945 since the second world

[00:24:49] bef. We leave your breaking news, Khalil has
[00:24:53] said that Hamas will continue to resist occupation
[00:24:57] with all the legitimate means at it disposal,
[00:25:00] and that brings us to the end of this edition, a world news bullet in some minutes we're going
[00:25:04] to be back with the spotlight program, so stay
[00:25:06] tuned.
[00:25:33] Crisis, devastating wars,
[00:25:37] terrorism, the Israeli
[00:25:40] lobby,
[00:25:43] crackdown,
[00:25:48] diplomacy.
[00:25:52] Cazbullah chief second Martidom
[00:25:54] anniversary.
[00:26:10] For decades Iran has stated that the distinction between United States
[00:26:14] and Israel is often more political than practical, many
[00:26:17] dismiss that claim as rhetoric, but the numbers tell a
[00:26:21] story worth examining. Since the end the second world war,
[00:26:25] Israel has become the largest cumulative recipient of US military
[00:26:29] aid receiving 240 billion dollars. can
[00:26:33] you imagine 240 billion dollars?
[00:26:36] today that relationship is anchored by a 10 year memorandum of
[00:26:40] understanding, guaranteeing at least 3.8 billion
[00:26:44] dollar in military aid annually, a commitment
[00:26:47] unprecedented in modern american foreign policy. wait,
[00:26:51] it has surpassed even this amount, watch till the end. first, this is not
[00:26:55] merely story about eight, much of funding is designed to be spent on
[00:26:59] American weapons, leaking Israel's military. capabilities
[00:27:03] directly to US weapons production. The result is a system in
[00:27:07] which a continuous pipeline of American financing,
[00:27:10] technology, spare parts, munitions and political
[00:27:14] backing sustains Israeli military power. The clearest
[00:27:18] example is the F-35 stell fighter. The jet is manufactured in the
[00:27:22] United States, controlled by the United States and supplied only to
[00:27:25] countries approved by Washington. Israel was the first to
[00:27:29] acquire the world's most advanced combat aircraft. For your
[00:27:32] information, Iran down F-35 as well, so how
[00:27:36] advanced it is, let's leave that for another time.
[00:27:39] Anyways, one F-35A cost average of
[00:27:43] 82.5 million dollars. Overall, the F-35
[00:27:47] program has cost more than two trillion dollars. Israel's
[00:27:51] customized F-35 fleet has since been deployed across multiple
[00:27:54] regional theaters from Lebanon, and Syria to Iran and
[00:27:58] Gaza, killing thousands of people. The depth of US involvement
[00:28:01] became secularly visible during the June 2025 war against
[00:28:05] Iran. Washington authorized modifications to Israel's
[00:28:09] F-35 feet, enabling the fighters to carry external
[00:28:13] fuel tanks and dramatically increase their range. The
[00:28:17] result was capability to fly direct round trip missions to
[00:28:20] Iran without refueling, bypassing regional air bases and
[00:28:24] avoiding dependence on governments that might have refused to support such
[00:28:28] operations. Israel's missile defense architecture from iron,
[00:28:32] dome to David Sling and Arrow has likewise benefited from
[00:28:36] extensive American funding running in billions of dollars since
[00:28:40] October 2023 that dependence has become even more
[00:28:43] visible. Washington has approved billions in additional military assistance,
[00:28:47] accelerated weapons, transfer, replenish stock piles and
[00:28:51] provided support a scale unmashed anywhere else in the
[00:28:55] world for Israel to continue Gaza genocide and also carry on
[00:28:59] aggression against other countries in the region. Researchers. estimate
[00:29:03] that US military aid linked to the Gaza genocide reached
[00:29:06] record levels. Iranian officials have long maintained that Israel
[00:29:10] cannot sustain prolonged regional military aggression without
[00:29:14] American financial, technological, diplomatic and logistical
[00:29:18] support. Even if you want to disagree after all the figures
[00:29:22] presented, the strategic reality won't let you. When the US
[00:29:25] supplies the funding, the aircraft, the missile defenses, the
[00:29:29] ammunition and offers diplomatic cover. Israel
[00:29:33] doesn't just remain an ally but an extension of American
[00:29:36] power, advancing interest that Washington offer prefers to
[00:29:40] keep at arms length, what German chancelor
[00:29:44] Friedrich Murs described as dirty work being
[00:29:47] done on behalf the
[00:29:49] west.
[00:30:01] The US has raised interest rates to try to tame the
[00:30:05] inflation, the FOMC decided to raise the
[00:30:09] target range for the federal funds rate by a quarter of a percentage
[00:30:13] point to three and three quarters to 4%. Donald Trump doesn't
[00:30:17] like it, saying it should be around 1%. We should have the lowest interest
[00:30:20] rates in the world. Meanwhile, diesel and energy costs
[00:30:24] continue to rise and Americans are unhappy about
[00:30:27] this. 849 for diesel and
[00:30:31] California. Join us in this edition of program where we have a
[00:30:35] special guest with us,era batista jr, former
[00:30:39] executive director at international monetary fund or the
[00:30:42] IMF, what's what's going on in my opinion is the lack of
[00:30:46] trust, increasingly fragile confidence
[00:30:50] in the public finances and debt the United
[00:30:54] States. Do join us in this edition the program of economic
[00:30:58] divide.
