[00:00:00] attack on the American soil, saying US leaders conjure
[00:00:04] up an imaginary enemy to frighten their own
[00:00:06] people. Despite
[00:00:09] of earlier denials, the Pentagon admits that the number of troops killed in the
[00:00:13] aggression against Iran is higher than previously
[00:00:17] of reported, with nearly 900
[00:00:18] injuries. And finally,
[00:00:22] new pull shows the French president's popularity has fallen to the lowest
[00:00:26] level since 2017, mid violent protests and cost of...
[00:00:30] living
[00:00:30] concerns.
[00:00:35] in
[00:00:37] in
[00:00:42] of Hello and welcome everyone, you're
[00:00:46] watching Press TV world news, let's go ahead and get started with the sour stop
[00:00:49] stories.
[00:00:52] of Iran's foreign ministry spokesman has slammed the US
[00:00:55] a president's latest claim about a possible Iranian attack on the
[00:00:59] American soil. saying the real enemy
[00:01:01] of the American people is their own administration. Ismail
[00:01:05] Bagai made the remarks
[00:01:06] in a social media post after
[00:01:08] of Donald Trump suggested in a public address that Iran could take
[00:01:12] out the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego. Iran's foreign
[00:01:16] ministry spokesman said to frighten their own people, US leaders
[00:01:20] conjure up an imaginary enemy in the sky to
[00:01:23] overshadow the real threat on the ground. He added that the
[00:01:27] real danger to American
[00:01:28] of people lies
[00:01:29] in a ruling... establishment that has imposed any legal war on
[00:01:33] the world with
[00:01:34] of global consequences. he noted that Trump has even described
[00:01:38] the destruction of Los Angeles and San Diego as quote,
[00:01:42] very small price to pay. baghay said this is
[00:01:45] textbook example
[00:01:47] of the politics of fear, frightening people with an imaginary
[00:01:51] threat, portraying the destruction
[00:01:52] of their own cities as acceptable price to pay, and
[00:01:56] diverting their
[00:01:57] of attention from the real danger.
[00:02:02] Despite earlier denials, the US War department has admitted that
[00:02:06] the number of troops who have died in the aggression against Iran is
[00:02:10] higher than previously reported. According to the Washington Post, the
[00:02:14] Pentagon in its latest report has raised
[00:02:17] of official death tool of US troops linked to military aggression against
[00:02:21] Iran to 21, acknowledging that two additional deaths
[00:02:25] had not previously been included in its figures. The newly included
[00:02:29] deaths are an army major who died in Kuwait on March the
[00:02:33] 6th and an unidentified navy service unidentified
[00:02:37] navy service
[00:02:38] of member who died by suicide in September also showed that
[00:02:41] 865 US service members have been also
[00:02:44] wounded during the aggression against
[00:02:46] of Iran. Separately
[00:02:48] of the US military confirmed the death of another soldier in Iraq
[00:02:52] claiming that he lost his life
[00:02:54] in a training accident unrelated to the aggression
[00:02:57] against Iran. The update came. after the Washington Post reported
[00:03:01] last month that the number of casualties from the war was greater than what the
[00:03:05] Pentagon has disclosed publicly. At the same time, US four
[00:03:09] secretary Pete Hagsath called that report a complete
[00:03:12] lie.
[00:03:17] of Author and journalist Robert fantination against Iran as
[00:03:21] necessary against Iran as necessary and financial
[00:03:25] cause, the American and financial cause, the American public
[00:03:29] of sees it as an... that has been very costly, that has been
[00:03:33] very
[00:03:33] costly,
[00:03:37] now the recent revision of
[00:03:40] numbers up to 21, one might say is only
[00:03:44] two soldiers, however for those two soldiers
[00:03:47] in a loved ones, that's extremely significant, and the fact
[00:03:51] that the United States government was willing to ignore them or avoid their
[00:03:55] reality, certainly insulted and degraded to not only those
[00:03:59] victims and but all the military who are being forced
[00:04:03] into this awful situation,
[00:04:06] so Donald Trump wants
[00:04:09] of the
[00:04:09] of U.S. populist to look at this as something unimportant, not
[00:04:13] costly in terms of lives or money, and just
[00:04:17] just necessary military adventure. It is none of those things, it has been
[00:04:21] extremely costly in terms of lives and money, and it
[00:04:24] is a
[00:04:26] of completely
[00:04:28] of unnecessary and
[00:04:28] of illegal and immoral aggression. against Iran, there does seem to be
[00:04:31] something uh, a little unusual about
[00:04:34] of that, if nearly 900 were injured and only 21
[00:04:38] died, and again I'm not minimizing
[00:04:40] in any way the lives of those 21 were
[00:04:42] of lost, but it does seem to be rather strange proportion,
[00:04:46] now the
[00:04:47] of soldier who died in Kuwait apparently was killed
[00:04:51] when the uh Iranian forces
[00:04:55] attacked US bases in in Kuwait, so the
[00:04:59] fact that only one person died in that uh,
[00:05:02] of we can see it is fortunate, but is it
[00:05:04] true?
[00:05:08] meanwhile, Iran has
[00:05:10] of of of taken of European countries to task for their... inaction in the face of
[00:05:13] US sanctions on the international criminal court and Washington's
[00:05:17] threat to dismantle it. In social media post, Iran's foreign ministry
[00:05:21] spokesman said, while US secretary of state Mark Rubio threatens to
[00:05:25] dismantle the ICC brick by brick, its allies
[00:05:29] failed to rain it that international orders collapsed, that international
[00:05:32] orders collapsed not only through aggression, but when the use of force
[00:05:36] becomes normalized and the world remains silent. He then asked
[00:05:40] European countries, does standing alongside ally mean
[00:05:44] defending international law and order, what does it mean
[00:05:47] joining that ally and defend and dismantling them? the
[00:05:51] spokesman added that if law and justice are sacrificed to
[00:05:55] appease an aggressive and bullying ally, then talk of
[00:05:59] human rights and a rules-based international order will be
[00:06:02] nothing more than empty rhetoric. the ICC says the US
[00:06:06] sanctions constitute a attempt to obstruct justice and
[00:06:10] prevent the tribunal from fulfilling its mandate, the UN has
[00:06:14] also called US sanctions on the ICC, serious blow to the
[00:06:18] world's collective pursuit of international
[00:06:20] justice.
[00:06:26] Investigative journalist Rick Sterling says, while the US wants
[00:06:30] manipulating international organizations to serve its
[00:06:33] interests, it is now increasingly defying international law
[00:06:37] and acting like a
[00:06:38] gangster.
[00:06:43] In the past, the US was able to manipulate international
[00:06:46] organizations to do its
[00:06:49] bidding, but increasingly it's
[00:06:53] it's defying international law openly. I think it's clear
[00:06:57] to all people that the United States is increasingly
[00:07:00] acting like a gangster. If you do its bidding, it will
[00:07:04] reward you, if you defy it or you
[00:07:08] show some resistance, then it will punish
[00:07:11] you. "and we see an example of another country that
[00:07:15] has been doing this for decades, and that of course is is
[00:07:19] Israel, and with the genocide in Gaza, with the rampant
[00:07:23] attacks on palest, Palestinians in the West Bank, the war
[00:07:27] on Iran, including the murder of thousands of
[00:07:30] innocents, it seems like we're returning to an era in the
[00:07:33] past that was the Vietnam war where the United States was
[00:07:37] hated around the world, and it's um,
[00:07:41] it's really a sign." of how pathetic the European
[00:07:45] elite is, that they are not willing to to stand
[00:07:48] up and to to indicate some
[00:07:52] resistance. the prime minister, prime minister Motley of
[00:07:56] Barbados is showing more courage than any the
[00:08:00] European leaders and talking about how how bad
[00:08:04] this is, and and how there needs to be a uh
[00:08:07] reevaluation of where we're at at the United
[00:08:09] Nations.
[00:08:13] Another news, french president, Emmanuel Macron's popularity has fallen to
[00:08:17] its lowest level since taking office in 2017. This
[00:08:21] according to new pull which was published on Saturday. The survey found
[00:08:25] that just 15% of respondents approved Macron's performance
[00:08:29] as president, down one points from a month earlier and the lowest
[00:08:33] score of his presidency. Most respondents have cited
[00:08:37] purchasing power as their top concern, followed by worries about
[00:08:41] the future the countries that. levels, the poll versus debt
[00:08:44] levels, the poll results came as France faces
[00:08:48] record fuel prices and massive protest by high school
[00:08:51] students. for many days and now protesters, including many students
[00:08:55] have been rolling outside of schools, chancing anti-government
[00:08:59] slogans. the government says thousands, mostly minors have been
[00:09:03] arrested since the unrest began. the poll also reveal that
[00:09:06] among politicians seen as potential successors to macron,
[00:09:10] far right leaders Jordan Bar and are the most
[00:09:14] popular.
[00:09:19] 4 thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets the turkish city of
[00:09:23] Istanbul in support of Palestinians demanding an end to
[00:09:27] Israel's genocidal war on
[00:09:28] Gaza.
[00:09:40] Filistin'de dökülen. I am here for Palestine, I am here
[00:09:44] so that the blood of poor young children, of people, of innocent people being shed
[00:09:48] in Palestine will stop. Israel must now put an end to the blood it is spilling
[00:09:52] around the world and stop this genocide. We Muslims, and not only
[00:09:56] Muslims, but all people in the world must finally put an end to the suppressor's
[00:10:00] game and stop the
[00:10:00] bloodshed.
[00:10:05] Waving a Palestinian and Turkish flags, the demonstrators march through the
[00:10:09] Istanbul on the global day of action. for Palestine.
[00:10:13] They called for global pressure on Israel, saying that remaining neutral in the
[00:10:17] face of this genocide amounts to complicity. On the third
[00:10:21] anniversary the beginning the genocidal war, a considerable number.
[00:10:25] of cities around the globe has been the scene of pro-
[00:10:29] palestine
[00:10:29] rallies.
[00:10:33] well people have rallied in the Venezuelan capital of Caracus in
[00:10:36] solidarity with the Palestinian people and to condemn three years of
[00:10:40] genocide in Gaza. Demonstrators say Palestine has become
[00:10:44] a symbol of resistance and human dignity, linking in the
[00:10:48] Palestinian struggle against the occupation and
[00:10:51] colonialism to the historical experiences of Latin America.
[00:10:59] Well defending Palestine is a way what people today is a
[00:11:02] way what people today refer to as the cause of humanity understanding
[00:11:06] that colonialist actions
[00:11:08] that are just as relevant to us as Latin American peoples so it's a connection
[00:11:12] that we can boil down to that in the most straightforward terms to defending
[00:11:16] the cause of humanity
[00:11:17] basically.
[00:11:23] Palestine is a symbol of resistance. Palestine is a symbol of human
[00:11:26] dignity. Palestine calls upon and unites critical voices,
[00:11:30] voices of solidarity and the compassion of peoples. And here we are from
[00:11:34] Venezuela, the Venezuelan movement for solidarity with Palestine and
[00:11:38] other social organizations. Making this exhibition possible a call
[00:11:42] for solidarity, to denounce the genocide, to denounce and demand an end to
[00:11:46] the genocide that over the past three years, well has
[00:11:50] claimed the lives of 75,00 people, most them
[00:11:53] minors, children.
[00:12:25] what we have witnessed over the past three years has been an intensification of what
[00:12:28] Palestinians have actually endured for more than seven
[00:12:31] decades, so it is a collective responsibility, a
[00:12:35] global, international responsibility to join our voices and take
[00:12:38] concrete actions, actions that unite us, whether through
[00:12:42] culture, music, activism, calls for boycots, or
[00:12:46] calls for sanctions, so that international law is respected, so that
[00:12:50] Palestine may be free and sovereign, so that the right of return is
[00:12:53] fulfilled, and so that... well finally, and so that, well,
[00:12:57] finally, Palestine can be free from the river to, well,
[00:13:01] across the United States protests were held against Washington's
[00:13:04] complicity in three years of genocide in Gaza. The horrific
[00:13:08] devastation waged by Israel would not be possible without the weapons
[00:13:12] and support the United States. Ramon Mazahiri has more from
[00:13:16] Washington
[00:13:17] DC.
[00:13:22] supporters of Palestine across the United States join. the
[00:13:25] international global day of action on October 10th to
[00:13:29] finally stop the US-Israeli genocide in
[00:13:32] Gaza. The global outrage took place on the day
[00:13:35] of last year's so-called cease fire. Israel has
[00:13:39] attacked Gaza on almost 330 out the
[00:13:43] past 365 days, killing almost
[00:13:46] 1,500 Gazans. For three years, no
[00:13:50] country other than Israel has been more complicit in the horrors than
[00:13:54] Washington. where a bipartisan effort has given Israel the
[00:13:58] military, political and economic support required to
[00:14:01] murder at least 3% of Gaza's entire
[00:14:05] population, with the actual figure likely much
[00:14:08] higher. the generation in America that was raised with the idea
[00:14:12] that we won the ideological war, and uh, we are the good guys
[00:14:16] that abide by the human rights. um, have seen definitively
[00:14:19] that that is false. uh, the um, our leaders, whether
[00:14:23] they are a democrat or republican uh, do not value human rights or human
[00:14:27] life? I think it doesn't matter where this Democrat or Republicans is
[00:14:31] unacceptable to fund this, this is absolutely horrid, and we're watching it
[00:14:35] live streamed on TikTok, Instagram and through our phones, it's it's
[00:14:38] absolutely unacceptable and it needs that now. In what many believe is
[00:14:42] a prelude to attempt at Israeli occupation,
[00:14:46] 82% of Gaza's buildings have been destroyed,
[00:14:49] displacing 90% the population, most the water
[00:14:53] and sanitation network has... been demolished along with
[00:14:56] 90% of schools and 300 journalists have been killed
[00:15:00] in the last 3 years, but unlike past Israeli
[00:15:04] war crimes, this one couldn't be covered up. the social
[00:15:08] media is on our side now before it
[00:15:11] wasn't. um, the propaganda is less now, people are
[00:15:15] more aware. uh, we definitely won media war,
[00:15:19] people are more aware of what's going on in palestine, before a lot of people
[00:15:22] didn't know what's going on, what's actually going? not in Palestine. In an
[00:15:26] enormous political shift, polls now show that Americans
[00:15:30] sympathize more with Palestinians, the first ever live stream
[00:15:33] genocide. The first ever live stream genocide has finally revealed.
[00:15:37] to the entire world what the zionist imperialist project
[00:15:41] has always been. Ramen Masahari, press TV,
[00:15:44] Washington DC. Moving now over to the
[00:15:48] German capital, which saw the largest demonstration for Palestine since last
[00:15:52] year on global Day of Action with tens of thousands marching
[00:15:56] through Berlin on Saturday. Organized by the Coalition
[00:16:00] United for Palestine, the demonstration was marked by zinus
[00:16:03] provocations, heavy police presence and several arrests.
[00:16:07] Our corresponds reports from
[00:16:09] Berlin.
[00:16:14] No peace on stolen land was the slogan of this setter this demonstration marking
[00:16:18] the third anniversary the luxaflot operation in Berlin. According
[00:16:22] to the organizers around 20,000 participants answered United for
[00:16:26] Palestine's call. They demonstrated outside the chancellary and on the streets
[00:16:30] the capital against occupation displacement and German support for
[00:16:33] cionist and imperialist atrocities in West Asia.
[00:17:07] From the government, the arms trade to Israel has further increased
[00:17:11] since the beginning the year, as late as August of this
[00:17:15] year, Germany finished manufacturing a new submarine for the
[00:17:19] Israeli army. The goal of today's
[00:17:22] demonstration is to mobilize as many people as possible to hold German armed shipments
[00:17:26] to the genocidal state. The German federal government and the parliamentary
[00:17:30] establishment have no interest in standing up for
[00:17:32] Palestinives. Pols show that 80% the German
[00:17:35] population opposes armed shipments. to Israel, we are standing here in the
[00:17:39] government district, directly opposite the chancellorry, and it is precisely here that we
[00:17:43] intend to make those voices heard. Paul showed that the german population is
[00:17:46] overwhelmingly opposed to german complicity in the genocide, but
[00:17:50] also to german assistance in the US Israel aggression against
[00:17:54] Iran. one the main military airfields from which attacks
[00:17:58] against Iran were conducted is the US airbase
[00:18:01] Ramstein in Germany. two years
[00:18:05] ago, wearing cafia in public was fround.
[00:18:15] By now it is clear everyone what is happening in Gaza is a
[00:18:19] genocide, it has not stopped and the whole world is watching.
[00:18:22] Although the demonstration remained peaceful, it saw heavy police presence and
[00:18:26] several arrests were made for expressing support for the resistance
[00:18:30] forces and for using the slogan from the river to the sea palestine will be free.
[00:18:34] Natürlich haben
[00:18:35] wir auch gesehen
[00:18:37] of course there. some arrests too, unfortunately that is normal in
[00:18:40] Berlin, but we succeeded because we were able to hold the
[00:18:43] demonstration. people made their voices heard. we must keep going
[00:18:47] until the killing stops. that is why i am here today. the united
[00:18:50] for gaza damon was another strong statement from the German
[00:18:54] population to their government. the German people
[00:18:57] disapproved their government's complicity in the genocide, as
[00:19:01] indicate chants days are
[00:19:04] numbered, from Berlin.
[00:19:12] well just
[00:19:13] year after a supposed gaza cease fire took effect, palestinians
[00:19:17] are still being killed and families still remain trapped among the
[00:19:20] ruins. now campaigners a large rally in Paris are demanding
[00:19:24] an end to armed sales to Israel and action against what they
[00:19:28] described as continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing. from
[00:19:32] Paris, Peter Humy has the
[00:19:33] details.
[00:19:38] Several thousand demonstrators have taken to the streets of Paris calling for
[00:19:42] an end to Israeli attacks on Gaza. The protest marked the first
[00:19:46] anniversary the ceasefire broken by the US and its allies. The
[00:19:50] ceastfire was supposed to mean safety, but as protesters marching through
[00:19:54] downtown Paris on Saturday, ask what cease fire?
[00:19:57] Israel did not respect any of
[00:20:01] its obligations, it did not
[00:20:04] withdraw from the Gaza strip and then went... on
[00:20:08] day after day, and I wouldn't even say hour
[00:20:12] after hour, to murder the
[00:20:15] Palestinian people, since October 10,
[00:20:19] 2025, more than
[00:20:22] 1500 Palestinians the
[00:20:25] Gaza Strip, mostly civilians,
[00:20:29] women, children, elderly people have been
[00:20:33] murd by Israel, behind those numbers, another family berries
[00:20:37] another place left empty, another promise of protection that failed. the
[00:20:41] test of a cease fire activists here say is whether people can live
[00:20:45] safely, where a child can go to sleep without fear, where the
[00:20:48] injured can receive treat. and where families can go
[00:20:52] home. it's a sease fire
[00:20:53] they add that Israel has disregarded with impunity while its
[00:20:57] allies look on unwilling or unable to
[00:21:01] act. in the west bank, palestinian communities face settler
[00:21:05] attacks, intimidation and the loss their land. the appeal for
[00:21:08] October 10th calls for recognition of Palestinian rights and an
[00:21:12] end to the killing of Palestinians in Gaza, the west bank and the
[00:21:16] occupied territories. lot of people are fighting for Palestine, it's obvious.
[00:21:20] that uh France and lot of European countries are
[00:21:23] really um sure about what's happening in Palestine and they
[00:21:27] can't keep silencing us anymore uh and they will have to respond to
[00:21:31] us. In France, the mobilization also forms part of a month of
[00:21:34] action against arms sales to Israel, involving half dozen
[00:21:38] NGOs and human rights associations. What we
[00:21:41] call the international community uh
[00:21:45] with reference to uh the
[00:21:48] governments uh... "they are
[00:21:51] all uh accomplice of what's going
[00:21:54] on, what's going on, some
[00:21:58] them go, Germany, France,
[00:22:02] Romany, France, go continuing
[00:22:05] weapon delivery to Israel, their demand is
[00:22:09] concrete, stop supplying weapons, protect civilians
[00:22:13] and hold those responsible for abuses to
[00:22:16] account. Peter Humy for Press TV in Paris.
[00:22:22] Well thousands of people have held a protest in the Portuguese capital of
[00:22:26] Lisbon as they're unhappy with cos of living, high rents and low
[00:22:30] wages.
[00:22:44] Wages aren't keeping up with the rising cost
[00:22:46] of living, we're standing up for our rights and
[00:23:20] "and that's why we're taking to the streets to
[00:23:21] protest.
[00:23:27] some the protesters in Lisbon said wages are not keeping up with the
[00:23:31] rising cost of living, demanding better access to housing and
[00:23:35] healthcare. other Portuguese cities, including Porto and
[00:23:39] Braga, witness similar demonstrations. the rallies are held,
[00:23:43] as according to experts, many are forced to remain in their parents
[00:23:46] homes or live further away from the cities where they work.
[00:23:50] Analysts say the housing crisis in the European country is compounded
[00:23:54] by rising food, fuel and energy prices, leaving
[00:23:57] households with less purchasing
[00:23:59] power.
[00:24:04] Well, that brings us to the end of this hours bulletin. Thank you very much for watching and goodbye for
[00:24:08] now.
[00:24:30] July 31st, 2026, nighttime straight of
[00:24:33] Hormus, southern Iran. The United States launched a
[00:24:37] heavy wave of strikes against command centers,
[00:24:40] radars, surveillance systems and air defense positions
[00:24:44] across southern Iran, intended to make the skies over southern
[00:24:47] Iran safer for American aircraft. but just hours later
[00:24:51] something unexpected happened. an
[00:24:55] American MQ9 Reaper was shot down over the straight of
[00:24:58] Hormus. The MQ9 is no ordinary
[00:25:02] drone. It is one of America's primary platforms for intelligence,
[00:25:06] surveillance, reconnaissance and precision strikes, capable of remaining
[00:25:10] airborn for more than a full day while carrying an advanced suite of sensors
[00:25:14] and weapons,
[00:25:15] and this was not the first reaper lost. Since the beginning the war,
[00:25:19] Iran has... taken around 50 MQ9 Reapers out of
[00:25:22] operation, roughly one quarter the entire US reaper
[00:25:26] fleet, but the real story was only beginning. Shortly
[00:25:29] afterward, an F-35 entered the picture, one the world's most
[00:25:33] advanced combat aircraft, designed specifically to penetrate
[00:25:37] sophisticated air defense networks, but stealth does not mean
[00:25:40] invisible. One radar may detect only faint
[00:25:44] signature, infrared sensor may pick up the heat from its engines,
[00:25:47] another system may detect its electronic. emissions and when the
[00:25:51] information from all these systems is connected through a single network,
[00:25:55] much clearer picture the target begins to emerge. that same night,
[00:25:59] the tracking the f35 reach the level. quality
[00:26:03] lock, a warning the pilot could not ignore, the F-35
[00:26:07] did not continue its mission and quickly left the area, and perhaps that
[00:26:11] is the most important part the story: air defense success does not
[00:26:14] always mean shooting an aircraft down, sometimes it is enough to
[00:26:18] stop an aircraft designed to penetrate hostile airspace from completing
[00:26:22] its mission, and now for the United States, the issue
[00:26:26] is no longer simply the loss of an MQ9 or the retreat of an
[00:26:30] F35. The bigger question is, How could a network whose
[00:26:33] radars and key components had been attacked only hours earlier
[00:26:37] remain operational and still force one of America's most
[00:26:41] advanced aircraft to abandon its mission, incident that
[00:26:45] now forces the United States to rethink not just a flight path,
[00:26:49] but its entire calculation over Iran's
[00:26:51] skies. The
[00:26:55] equation in Iran's skies is no longer the
[00:26:58] same.

[00:30:16] The US president Donald Trump's promises of making America great
[00:30:19] again has turned out to be the opposite, the cost of living for main
[00:30:23] street has increased with the quality of life to have plumited, just as why
[00:30:27] the US president claims the economic cost is a small price to
[00:30:31] pay for his. actions, including the illegal war of
[00:30:35] aggression against
[00:30:36] Iran.
