[00:00:04] Iranian attack on the American soil, saying US leaders
[00:00:08] of conjure up an
[00:00:09] of imaginary enemy to frighten their own
[00:00:11] people. Despite earlier denials, the
[00:00:14] Pentagon admits that the number of troops killed in the aggression against
[00:00:18] Iran is higher than previously reported with nearly 900
[00:00:22] of entries. And finally, this

[00:00:40] of
[00:00:42] of of of
[00:00:50] Hello and welcome everyone, you're watching Press TV World News. Let's go ahead and get started with
[00:00:54] this hour's top stories. Iran's
[00:00:58] foreign
[00:00:58] of ministry spokesman has slamed. the US president's latest claim about a
[00:01:02] possible Iranian attack on the American soil, saying the real enemy
[00:01:06] of the American people is their own administration. Ismail
[00:01:10] Baghayi made the remarks
[00:01:12] of in a social media post after Donald Trump suggested in a public address that Iran
[00:01:16] could take out the cities of Los Angeles and San
[00:01:20] in Diego. Iran's foreign ministry spokesman
[00:01:22] of said to frighten their own people, US leaders conjure up imaginary
[00:01:26] enemy in the sky to oversh shadow the real threat.
[00:01:30] on the ground. He added that the real danger to American people
[00:01:34] lies
[00:01:34] in a ruling
[00:01:35] of establishment of that has imposed an
[00:01:37] of illegal war on the world with global consequences. He noted that
[00:01:41] Trump has even
[00:01:42] of described the destruction of Los Angeles and San Diego as quote "a
[00:01:46] very small price to pay." Bai said
[00:01:49] of this is textbook example of politics of fear,
[00:01:53] frightening people with an imaginary threat, portraying the
[00:01:56] of destruction
[00:01:57] of their own
[00:01:57] of cities of as acceptable price to pay. and diverting their
[00:02:01] attention from the real
[00:02:02] danger. well now joining
[00:02:06] us here in our Tahran studios are pressed tv colleague for more
[00:02:09] elaboration on the story. zenab as always
[00:02:11] in thank you very much for joining us. let's go and start off in this regard a
[00:02:15] textbook example
[00:02:16] of the politics of fear as some may say that also Donald
[00:02:20] Trump is uh as expected using this as perhaps even a
[00:02:24] pretext to carry out a attack on Iran with the
[00:02:28] same excuse. a possibility. opinion, of course, and
[00:02:32] it's not just Trump, it's the entire, and it's not just Trump, it's the entire
[00:02:36] US establishment, let's not forget that the very
[00:02:39] existence is on the colonization and massacre
[00:02:43] and murder of millions of indigenous
[00:02:46] Americans who were there thousands
[00:02:48] a of years before uh, the US was discovered by Europeans
[00:02:52] and for them to be able to carry out that mass murder, they claim
[00:02:56] that that land has been promised to them by God, and for and
[00:03:00] after that they went after
[00:03:02] of Africans of in Africa to bring them to the United States to slave away
[00:03:06] and build the new land that they just um occupy
[00:03:09] and after that
[00:03:10] of for those people were slaved to get their independence they continued to fight them and call
[00:03:14] them fascis and for the US to expand its empire it claimed that it
[00:03:18] was fighting um you know um communism around the
[00:03:22] world and after that it was the the war on drugs and after
[00:03:26] that it was the war on terrorism every single time the United States is
[00:03:30] planning to expand its projects, its hegemony around the
[00:03:34] world, it create new enemy to justify the crime
[00:03:38] that it is trying to commit, we all know it, it has everything to do with
[00:03:41] stealing new
[00:03:42] of resources, it
[00:03:43] of has everything to do with controlling more, more territories, more sovereign
[00:03:47] territories and to expand us egemony around the world,
[00:03:51] so calling you know this false flag attacks that
[00:03:55] is being they're trying to place
[00:03:57] in on Iran by preparing the minds
[00:03:59] of the... population, I think many people have woken up uh
[00:04:03] to this fallacy and may not forf of course those who are the Trump
[00:04:07] core supporters will always believe whatever Trump says, but I think
[00:04:10] average Americans who have a little bit of reasoning left uh know that
[00:04:14] this is all a line, it has everything to do with you expanding American
[00:04:18] egmany. Well, Zainab, in that regard,
[00:04:21] of as you mention what the Americans are realizing these days in
[00:04:25] reality, what is coming out of Trump, and of course, as you mentioned the other parties,
[00:04:29] there's... also Mr Bai said that the real danger
[00:04:32] in to the American people lies
[00:04:34] in in a ruling establishment, lot
[00:04:36] of the American people have realized that some
[00:04:38] of the administration have been taken
[00:04:41] of advantage
[00:04:41] of uh of this geographical advantage as they have been saying, the location
[00:04:45] of the US in the world in the globe of course has been the one
[00:04:48] of the reasons why they have been making the decisions that they have, but they are also realizing
[00:04:52] that this will not last. exactly
[00:04:56] Katlin, recently there
[00:04:57] of was a poll that was conducted and many... US citizens are
[00:05:01] less likely to identify as US citizen when they're traveling outside
[00:05:05] the United States because of Trump's policy, they are more likely to
[00:05:08] identify as coming from Canada or any other European country.
[00:05:13] the the amount of hate that the United States has created around the world
[00:05:16] because of its policy, that is not just from Trump, the the policy
[00:05:20] the US all around the globe, and especially after witnessing what
[00:05:24] happened in Gaza, and knowing that it was the US the spearheaded that genocide, it
[00:05:28] was the US that funded that genocide, it was the US that provided
[00:05:32] um, the military hardware needed to carry out
[00:05:35] that genocide, and it was the US that led the diplomatic and also
[00:05:38] international control to protect Israel from accountability, by
[00:05:42] also sanctioning the ICC that was trying to investigate what
[00:05:46] the uh Israeli uh were doing in Gaza,
[00:05:49] so many people, especially what the the policies the United
[00:05:53] States is making citizens the US less safe, and let's not forget
[00:05:57] within the United States, every single year thousands of people were killed
[00:06:01] by gunshot, by police, many people were kidnapped or
[00:06:05] stalling, many people are trafficked around the world, many people cannot even
[00:06:08] afford basic healthcare because the way the United State is been.
[00:06:12] so the enemy is from within, not outside, if you calculate how many people
[00:06:16] are dying by direct US policy itself, internally, it's
[00:06:20] far exceed those were killed by so-called terrorism outside. well,
[00:06:24] on that point, as always like to thank you very much for joining us here in our tariran studio,
[00:06:28] our colleague Zainab
[00:06:29] zakaria.
[00:06:33] well, despite earlier denials, the US war department has admitted that
[00:06:37] the number of troops who have died in the aggression against Iran is higher
[00:06:41] than previously reported. According to the Washington Post, the
[00:06:44] Pentagon in its latest report has raised the official death tool of
[00:06:48] US troops linked to military aggression against Iran to
[00:06:52] 21, acknowledging that two additional deaths had not previously
[00:06:56] been included in its figures. The newly included deaths are an
[00:07:00] army major who died in Kuwait on March the 6th, and an
[00:07:03] unidentified navy service member who died by suicide in
[00:07:07] September. The updated figures also showed that
[00:07:10] 865 US service. members have also been
[00:07:14] wounded during the aggression against Iran. Separately, the US
[00:07:18] military confirmed the death of another soldier in Iraq,
[00:07:21] claiming that he had lost his life a training accident
[00:07:25] unrelated to the aggression against Iran. The update came
[00:07:29] after the Washington Post reported last month that the number of
[00:07:32] casualties from the war was greater than what the Pentagon has disclosed
[00:07:36] publicly. At the time, US War secretary Pete Hagseth
[00:07:40] called that report a complete.
[00:07:42] lie, well author
[00:07:46] and journalist Robert Fantina says, although Trump portray
[00:07:50] says, although Trump portrays the aggression against Iran as
[00:07:53] necessary and downplays its human, American public sees it as an
[00:07:57] unnecessary war of choice that has been very
[00:08:00] costly.
[00:08:05] now the recent revision of
[00:08:09] numbers up to 21, one might say:
[00:08:12] only two soldiers, however, for those two
[00:08:15] soldiers ins, that's extremely significant, and
[00:08:19] the fact that government was willing to ignore them or avoid
[00:08:23] their reality, certainly degraded to not only
[00:08:26] those victims and their loves, but all the military who are
[00:08:30] being forced into this awful situation,
[00:08:34] so Donald Trump wants the US
[00:08:38] populist to look at this as something unimportant, not
[00:08:41] costly in term. of lives or money and just
[00:08:45] just necessary military adventure, it is none of those things, it has been
[00:08:49] extremely costly in terms of lives and money, and it
[00:08:52] is a completely unnecessary and
[00:08:56] illegal and immoral aggression against Iran. there does seem to be
[00:09:00] something a little unusual about that if nearly
[00:09:03] 900 were injured and only 21 died and again i'm not
[00:09:07] minimizing 21 died and again i'm not minimizing any way the lives of those
[00:09:11] 21 were lost. but it does seem to be rather strange
[00:09:15] proportion who died in Kuwait apparently was
[00:09:19] killed when the uh Iranian
[00:09:21] forces attacked US bases in in
[00:09:25] Kuwait, so the fact that only one person died in
[00:09:29] that uh, we can see
[00:09:31] it is fortunate, but is it true?
[00:09:35] well, Iran has taken European countries to task for their
[00:09:38] inaction in the face of US sanctions on the international criminal court.
[00:09:43] and Washington's threat to dismantle it, a social media, dismantle
[00:09:46] it, a social media post, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman
[00:09:50] Marubio threatens to dismantle the ICC brick by
[00:09:53] brick, its allies failed to rain it in. Ismile
[00:09:57] badded that international orders collapse
[00:09:59] not usa force becomes normalized and usa force becomes
[00:10:03] normalized and the world remains silent. He then asked European
[00:10:07] countries does standing alongside ally mean in defending
[00:10:10] international law and order. or does it mean joining that ally
[00:10:14] and dismantling them? the spokesman added that if law and justice
[00:10:18] are sacrificed to appease an aggressive and bullying ally then
[00:10:22] talk of human rights and a rules based international order will be
[00:10:26] nothing more than empty rhetoric. the ICC says US sanctions
[00:10:30] constitute attempt to obstruct justice and prevent the tribunal from
[00:10:34] fulfilling its mandate. the UN has also called
[00:10:38] US sanctions on the ICC serious blow to the
[00:10:41] world's collective pursuit of international
[00:10:44] justice.
[00:10:49] for his part, investigative journalist Rick Sterling says, while the U.S.
[00:10:53] once manipulated international organiz organizations to serve its
[00:10:56] interests, it is now increasingly defying
[00:10:59] international law and acting like a
[00:11:02] gangster. in the past, the US
[00:11:06] was able to manipulate international
[00:11:09] organizations to do its
[00:11:11] bidding, but increasingly
[00:11:14] it's it's defying international law openly. i
[00:11:18] think it's clear to all people that the united states is
[00:11:22] increasingly acting like a gangster. "if you do its bidding,
[00:11:26] it will reward you, if you defy it or
[00:11:29] you show some resistance, then it will
[00:11:33] punish you, and we see an example of another
[00:11:37] country that has been doing this for decades, and that of course
[00:11:40] is is Israel, and with the genocide in
[00:11:44] Gaza, with the rampant attacks on palestinians in the west
[00:11:48] bank, the war on Iran, including the murder of
[00:11:52] thousands of innocents, it seems like we're..." turning to an era
[00:11:56] in the past that was the Vietnam war where the United States was
[00:11:59] hated around the world, and it's um,
[00:12:03] it's really a sign of how pathetic the
[00:12:06] European
[00:12:08] elite is, that they are not willing to to stand up and
[00:12:11] to to indicate some resistance, the
[00:12:15] prime minister, prime minister Motley of Barbados is
[00:12:19] showing more courage than any the European leaders
[00:12:23] and talking about
[00:12:25] how how bad this is and and how there needs to be
[00:12:28] a uh reevaluation of where we're at the United
[00:12:32] Nations.
[00:12:36] In other news, US President Donald Trump says it's time for Ukraine to
[00:12:40] get new president after he announced a deal with Russia on diesel
[00:12:44] supplies. Trump said Ukrainian president Voladimir
[00:12:47] Zelensky could have ended the war with Russia many times but
[00:12:51] chose not to. He criticized Zelinski for ignoring warnings.
[00:12:55] against striking Russian refining facilities, saying Kyev had
[00:12:59] been told not to hit the refineries because of its fallout a
[00:13:02] global scale. Trump's comment come came as the
[00:13:06] Ukrainian president said the oil agreement looks like a quote birthday
[00:13:10] president for the Russian president. Trump had said on Friday
[00:13:14] that the deal with Russia over diesel supplies will lower fuel prices.
[00:13:18] He added that Vladimir Putin agreed to sell more than 300,000 tons
[00:13:22] of diesel to the US and global markets. Analys have
[00:13:25] cast doubt that the agreement will bring down energy costs
[00:13:29] worldwide.
[00:13:34] Thousands of people have thousands of people have held a
[00:13:38] protest in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon as they're unhappy with
[00:13:42] cost of living, high rents and low
[00:13:44] wages.
[00:14:55] The rallies are held as, according to experts, many are forced to remain
[00:14:59] in their parents homes or live further away from the cities where they
[00:15:02] work. Analysts say the housing crisis in the European country
[00:15:06] is compounded by rising food, fuel and energy with
[00:15:10] less purchasing power, with less purchasing
[00:15:13] power
[00:15:18] of demonstrators who have taken to the streets of demonstrators who have taken to the
[00:15:22] streets the Turkish city of Istanbul and of
[00:15:25] Palestinians demanding an end to Israel's genocidal war on
[00:15:28] Gaza.
[00:15:45] children, of people, of innocent people being shed in Palestine will stop.
[00:15:49] Israel must now put an end to the blood, it is spilling around the world and stop this
[00:15:53] genocide. we muslims, and not only Muslims, but all people in the
[00:15:57] world must finally put an end to the suppressors game and stop the
[00:16:00] bloodshed.
[00:16:04] waving a palestinian and turkish flags, the demonstrators marched. threw
[00:16:07] Istanbul on the Global Day of Action for Palestine. They called for global
[00:16:11] pressure on Israel, saying that remaining neutral in the face the genocide
[00:16:15] amounts to complicity. On the third anniversary the beginning the genocidal
[00:16:19] war, a considerable number of cities around the globe has been the scene
[00:16:23] of pro- palestine rallies. Well, we're
[00:16:27] going to go and cross over now live to Minab southern Iran where correspondent
[00:16:30] Minini is joined by Iran's deputy foreign minister Kazim
[00:16:34] gharbabadi as he's there meeting with families of civilians killed. there in
[00:16:37] Minab. Morin, go ahead and take it from here please. Yes, good
[00:16:41] morning to you, Katelin. I am in the city of Minab in the
[00:16:44] shajar school, school that was targeted by the
[00:16:48] US in the very first day the war against
[00:16:52] the imposed war against Iran an attack in which
[00:16:56] 168 innocent lives were taken,
[00:16:59] most them children, but now today I am here
[00:17:03] with Iran's deputy foreign minister for
[00:17:07] legal. and international affairs, kazim gharibabadi who
[00:17:10] just had a meeting with the families the victims the attack, the
[00:17:14] families the victims had the chance to
[00:17:17] basically demand justice for the blood their children and also
[00:17:21] the deputy foreign minister also
[00:17:25] discussed the ramifications the attack, but now we are going to hear
[00:17:29] from him, please tell us what are the
[00:17:33] ramifications of this attack as far as international law is
[00:17:36] concerned?
[00:17:37] girls
[00:17:56] and boys and also some
[00:18:00] of teachers
[00:18:03] have lost their lives in accordance with international.
[00:18:07] law and international humanitarian law, the children,
[00:18:11] the educational centers, hospitals
[00:18:14] infrastructures are immune attack, but unfortunately the
[00:18:18] United States of America violated all these
[00:18:22] international principals and disregard, so
[00:18:25] that was clear crime against humanity and very
[00:18:29] clear world crimes, so we are so determined
[00:18:33] to so legally this issue not only at the level the domestic.
[00:18:38] but also the
[00:18:39] the level f courts and international judicial system,
[00:18:43] so the indicment was issued regarding this crime
[00:18:46] before the judicial the Islamic Republic of Iran, we have
[00:18:50] received the necessary evidences from the judiciary, we have established
[00:18:54] a committee composed of very eminent
[00:18:57] professional lawyers and this regard we are preparing
[00:19:01] ourselves to open some judicial cases
[00:19:04] people in this regard, the United States should be held.
[00:19:07] accountable and responsible for the crime that has committed and just
[00:19:11] regard law principles, human rights, law
[00:19:14] principles, human rights law principles and also
[00:19:18] international law principles and the provisions the charter the
[00:19:21] united nations, all these
[00:19:24] prohibiting actually attacking the children educational centers in
[00:19:28] this regard, so we will pursue this issue as we have
[00:19:32] highlighted also these can beholding international forums and
[00:19:36] international organizations. various levels, that's right,
[00:19:40] you just explained to the families that some other countries have
[00:19:44] also filed the cases against the the crime, would you also
[00:19:47] explain that to our viewers? we have been informed that some
[00:19:51] foreign lawyers in some european countries and also even in the United States of
[00:19:55] America, they have showed interest in this issue and some them on
[00:19:59] the voluntary basis, so started some
[00:20:03] investigation and also they have opened some
[00:20:07] cases. be for the judicials in this regard,
[00:20:10] so I think that that's a very good
[00:20:13] move, I believe that that's the
[00:20:15] responsibility the the
[00:20:19] various people in the European countries
[00:20:21] that claiming hum, so that that is very very important, we
[00:20:25] support all these moves and also if they need any
[00:20:28] evidencees so they can contact us, also they can contact the
[00:20:32] civil society in Iran, we will provide them with all necessary
[00:20:36] evidences. to let them to pursue those judicial cases
[00:20:40] before the foreign forces. I believe that the opening one or
[00:20:44] two cases is not enough, several cases should be opened
[00:20:48] before various groups. That's right. Thank you very much, thank you
[00:20:50] sir,
[00:20:52] yes, yes
[00:20:55] deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs the Islamic
[00:20:59] Republic of Iran, the families still have the grief, perhaps the grief will
[00:21:03] never end, but one thing that was very vivid in today's meeting with the
[00:21:07] deputy minister is the family determination to pursue
[00:21:10] justice for the blood their children, well that
[00:21:14] points, as always like to thank you very much of course for that very exclusive
[00:21:17] interview with our correspon from Iran's deputy for mister Mr. Qazim
[00:21:21] Garab Ababadi there in the southern city of Minab. Thank you, as always
[00:21:25] Moin. Well, another
[00:21:29] news, people have rallied in the Venezuelan capital of Caracus
[00:21:33] in solidarity them three years of genocide in Gaza dem three years
[00:21:36] of genocide in Gaza. Demonstrators say Palestine has become
[00:21:40] a symbol of resistance and human dignity, linking the
[00:21:44] Palestinian struggle against occupation and colonialism to the
[00:21:47] historical experiences of Latin America.
[00:22:20] is a symbol of human dignity. Palestine calls upon and unites critical
[00:22:24] voices, voices of solidarity and the compassion of peoples.
[00:22:28] And here we are from Venezuela, the Venezuelan movement for solidarity
[00:22:32] with Palestine and other social organizations, making this exhibition
[00:22:35] possible a call for solidarity, to denounce the genocide, to
[00:22:39] denounce and demand an end to the genocide that over the past three
[00:22:43] years, well has claimed the lives of 75,00
[00:22:46] people, most them minors, children, mothers.
[00:23:20] over the past three years has been an intensification of what Palestinians have
[00:23:24] actually endured for more than seven decades, so it is a collective
[00:23:28] responsibility, a global, international responsibility to
[00:23:31] join our voices and take concrete actions, actions that unite
[00:23:35] us, whether through culture, music, activism, calls
[00:23:39] for boycots or calls for sanctions, so that international law is
[00:23:43] respected, so that palestine may be free and sovereign, so that the right of
[00:23:47] return is fulfilled, and so that well,
[00:23:55] Well with that viewers, we end off this our bulletin. Thank you very much for watching and please stay tuned for
[00:23:59] latest updates. Bye for
[00:24:00] now.
[00:24:21] A story of Iran's resilience today, a US-Israel strike
[00:24:25] during the 40-day war in Iran hit a laser and plasma
[00:24:29] research facility in Tehran, and most people would assume that
[00:24:33] means shut down, silence, damage, end of work, but that's
[00:24:37] not what happened in the Islamic Republic of Iran, because within
[00:24:40] days the labs were running again, researchers back in the
[00:24:44] building, equipment being cleared and experiments
[00:24:48] restarting. so the first question writes itself: what
[00:24:52] exactly was the U.S. Israel strike supposed to stop? the
[00:24:56] answer is quite clear. it was attempt to attack Iran
[00:25:00] scientific infrastructure itself. many of you may
[00:25:03] ask, but why? let's unfold that. the facility is a
[00:25:07] working research center focused on plasma physics,
[00:25:11] photonics, biomedical imaging and industrial
[00:25:14] applications, the kind of science that moves between
[00:25:17] medicine, energy and materials. Hey, it is not
[00:25:21] just theory. The inventions are being applied in Iran's
[00:25:25] hospitals, industry, pharmaceuticals, even for
[00:25:29] gempstones. So if the goal was disruption, did the US and
[00:25:33] Israel succeed? The clear answer is no. Another question
[00:25:36] pops up, how is the work already continuing? Because Iranian
[00:25:40] scientists are framing this as deeper than physical
[00:25:44] damage. They believe it reflects pattern, pressure on
[00:25:47] Iran's scientific infrastructure. Something the US
[00:25:51] and Israel have been doing for decades, remember the target
[00:25:55] killings of Iran's nuclear scientists and cyber attacks on
[00:25:59] peaceful nuclear plants. Anyways, this attack... was another
[00:26:03] desperate attempt to disrupt years of research, expertise and
[00:26:07] technological progress instead of allowing the strike to
[00:26:11] define the institute's future, Iranian scientists
[00:26:14] returned within days to restore operations and restart
[00:26:18] projects at the center, the damage equipment is already
[00:26:22] being replaced and in some cases operated within domestically
[00:26:26] developed systems, so instead of shutting the work down, the
[00:26:29] US is really strike appears to have excellent. of safety,
[00:26:32] homes
[00:26:33] have in the city,
[00:26:51] a place
[00:26:52] been a place
[00:26:52] of safety, became a scene of death and destruction on Tuesday
[00:26:56] morning, June 12, strike hit four
[00:26:58] residential homes were completely destroyed and more than 10 others. were
[00:27:02] damaged, 15 civilians were killed, among them was a
[00:27:06] child, sayede mahya seddiqir a second grade student
[00:27:10] at Esmat elementary school. Mahya was a bright,
[00:27:14] kind and cheerful little girl. She used to walk into the school with
[00:27:18] smile on her face, now the only things left of her at school is a
[00:27:21] photograph a frame. The principal of Esmat
[00:27:25] Elementary School still struggles to talk about her. She says Majo was so sweet that
[00:27:29] she would often pick her up and hold her in her arms. Calling her
[00:27:33] affectionately, sweet little girl, how are you? But Mahiah's family
[00:27:37] had already suffered another loss. Her brother had been killed in an Israeli
[00:27:41] attack on their home in Tehran. After his death, the family left
[00:27:45] Tehran and went to Ostania Ashrafia hoping to find a safer
[00:27:49] place, but the war followed them there. Mahya,
[00:27:52] her father, her mother, and her older sister were killed in the missile
[00:27:56] strike along with other members their extended family. The school
[00:28:00] principal remembers calling mah. mother after her son was
[00:28:03] killed. she says the mother's voice was calm and patient. she had
[00:28:07] told her, we are fine, thank god, but they killed my son. now
[00:28:11] that the mother is buried beside her children, but mahyo's absence
[00:28:15] is still felt at her school. few days after the attack, the memorial
[00:28:19] ceremony was held at Esmat elementary school. her classmates,
[00:28:23] teachers and families gathered together, but this time one
[00:28:26] person was missing, one person was
[00:28:29] missing. her close said, She missed Mahya
[00:28:33] and wished she could still be beside them. She wanted Mahya to stay with
[00:28:37] them and grow up with them, but Mahya will never enter the third
[00:28:41] grade. The new school year is just around the corner. Soon the school
[00:28:45] bill will ring again, children will return to their classrooms,
[00:28:48] new books will be opened and third grade will begin, but this
[00:28:52] time there will be one less student. Madhya was supposed to be
[00:28:56] there, but all that remains in her classroom is empty seat and the
[00:29:00] memory of a little girl who was supposed to... grow up, study and
[00:29:04] build a future of her
[00:29:05] own.
