[00:02:54] in [00:03:01] Hello everyone, you're watching Press TV live [00:03:03] in a studios in Tehron. Thank you for joining [00:03:06] us. Beginning with our top story an [00:03:09] exclusive interview with Press TV. Ronstop security official [00:03:13] says Washington's response to Tehron's seven conditions [00:03:16] in a proposal to reopen the [00:03:19] of strategic straight of Urmus is inadequate. Major General Mohsen [00:03:22] Razali said the US must first clarify those issues that remain [00:03:26] ambiguous for Iran. Let's take you listen. [00:03:32] Over the past two months, the Americans made proposals to us through three [00:03:36] channels: Pakistan, Qatar, and even [00:03:39] of Iraq, and asked us to give them our own proposals. We announced seven conditions to the [00:03:43] Americans, if you do not act on these conditions, neither will the straight [00:03:47] of Hormus be opened to you, nor will there be any negotiations. The [00:03:51] Americans have now given [00:03:52] a response in their response. They have accepted some of our [00:03:56] conditions, and there are some ambiguities. [00:03:59] of Therefore, the American. have responded to us, we are not in the process of [00:04:02] responding to the Americans, the Americans have responded to us and [00:04:06] we consider their response [00:04:10] of insuficient. [00:04:16] remove those [00:04:17] of parts that are considered ambiguous by [00:04:18] of Iran, and Tehran is waiting to see whether they can remove those [00:04:22] ambiguities before heading to the next stages, in [00:04:25] his remarks or interview said the US has suffered [00:04:29] of defeat. the defeat against Iran and that's why Washington has [00:04:33] turned to economic war against the [00:04:35] country. [00:04:39] The enemy suffered major defeat in the 12-day war and then again in the [00:04:43] 40-day war. They resorted to naval blockade, [00:04:46] but that led them nowhere. And recently, they launched [00:04:50] economic [00:04:50] isolation plan. They faced defeat in almost every single campaign they launched, but we [00:04:54] stayed put pursuing our plans and neutralized all those campaigns [00:04:58] with accurate planning and... [00:05:05] of of [00:05:05] The general said the US has failed even to end this war of aggression, he [00:05:09] stress that the option to end the aggression is in the hands [00:05:11] of of Iran and [00:05:12] the Iranians will not stop their resistance until they get what is [00:05:16] rightfully theirs. Razi added that the US is root [00:05:20] cause the problem concerning the straight of Furmus. The general said [00:05:23] Iran seeks management the straight to ensure regional security, [00:05:27] especially in the Persian Gulf. He rejected Washington's [00:05:31] claim that [00:05:32] it is transporting major amounts of oil through the key waterway. [00:05:35] Razi said the US is only using smugglers to transport [00:05:39] negligible amounts of oil while the straight'. remains [00:05:43] closed. [00:05:50] Political commentatorsan Abbas says evon has every right to close [00:05:53] a straight off for mouse in response to the Anglosanist war of [00:05:57] aggression as international law does not operate in the same way [00:06:01] during the [00:06:01] wartime. [00:06:06] It's a war. Who started the war? Again, it's the [00:06:09] anglo-ziist empire that started the war and in. more [00:06:12] time, these kind of maritime rules and regulations, [00:06:16] they don't operate, I mean, how is it on earth is it a [00:06:20] reality that Iran has to abide by first [00:06:23] of all maritime rules that it's never signed up to, and then top of that it [00:06:27] it has aggressive forces which are trying to use that oil a [00:06:31] war against it, why why should why should they be obligated [00:06:34] to allow any shipping to go through there, now the shipping that is [00:06:38] going of course, [00:06:42] I would have. [00:06:49] issues on there, so the ships which Iran is getting out, which the [00:06:53] American Navy can't stop, uh, are definitely going [00:06:56] to be shipping is going to the to South Asia and perhaps [00:07:00] Europe, but mainly it South Asia, and that that's something [00:07:04] Iran in terms of its trading oil will do, and anybody else [00:07:08] that wants to take oil out there - that weekend or LNG [00:07:12] or fertilizers, they if they go through the procedures that Iran is said, then they will [00:07:16] be allowed to to take [00:07:20] that. The commander the Islamic [00:07:24] Revolution, Gaz Cors Navy, has warned all vessels transiting through [00:07:27] the straight of formus not to turn off their navigation and automatic [00:07:31] identification systems. rear admiral Aliasmai said [00:07:35] in his message that all ships that turn off their navigation and [00:07:39] identification systems in the straight of Urmus will be identified. as [00:07:42] hostile and we will dealt with severely and [00:07:45] decisively, his warning came after the IRGC [00:07:49] announced that violating oil super tanker has caught fire [00:07:52] after striking naval mine in the straight of Urmus while trying to cross [00:07:56] the straight through an anouthorized route. the IRGC [00:08:00] navy said the violating identification and navigation system, [00:08:04] identification and navigation system authorized waters. it [00:08:08] had authorized waters. it added that this was the third [00:08:11] violating. in two days to strike naval mines and catch [00:08:15] fire while attempting illegal hurmos transit. the [00:08:19] IRGC Navy reiterated that any vessel trying to cross a [00:08:22] strategic waterway after disabling its navigation systems will [00:08:26] be considered hostile target and dealt with [00:08:29] accordingly. [00:08:34] journalist, author and producer sakina datu joined us earlier, she said the [00:08:37] international community must hold the US Israel aggression against Ivan [00:08:41] responsible. rising fuel and energy prices, noting that the [00:08:45] straight of formus was open before the [00:08:47] aggression, [00:08:53] Iran has voters around its own area, voters around its own [00:08:57] area control and they also have not control and they also [00:09:01] have not passing, [00:09:02] you know they are conditions passing, they are conditions, [00:09:06] however because for far too long the state of hormos used [00:09:09] to be open to everybody and it was a... on Iran [00:09:13] that has brought this upon the world itself and upon the global [00:09:17] economy, because Iran was attacked and therefore [00:09:21] you know closing state of hormos or managing it is in [00:09:24] the interest is it's a vital security [00:09:28] issue for Iran in this stage so absolutely who can blame [00:09:32] Iran for wanting to make sure that they have the control over the [00:09:35] street and also these ships you know the very fact that they turn [00:09:39] off all navigation is in itself indication that they are [00:09:43] aware that they are doing something illegal, otherwise [00:09:46] you know if they really had that kind of a courage to defy then why do they have [00:09:50] to turn you know the navigations off [00:09:54] and so I think you know the the reality is that things are getting very [00:09:58] very tough for the US, we have seen them now coming to [00:10:01] this deal with Russia to get some oil out [00:10:05] you know from from Russia, all these signifies the fact that they are [00:10:09] desperate and that despite Trump constantly saying you know... He had [00:10:13] the control, he doesn't have the control the straight of homose, there is no [00:10:17] control on Babul Mandap, we've been watching what the Yeminies, what [00:10:20] ansarulah is doing. [00:10:26] Now the Iranian deputy foreign minister says Iran seeks constructive relations with [00:10:30] its neighbors but considers the presence of American forces in the region [00:10:34] a cause of insecurity. Speaking a press conference, Kazim [00:10:38] Gharibabadi said security and stability the Persian Gulf [00:10:41] region can only be established by the regional countries, not [00:10:45] foreign forces. Ye added that the 40-day you showed that the [00:10:48] presence of American for showed that the presence of American even for [00:10:52] those countries that are even for those countries that are hosting [00:10:56] American military bases. Kharibadi stressed that the security [00:11:00] of Iran and regional countries are intertwined. He said Iran [00:11:04] expects other countries not to provide their territory for aggression [00:11:08] against this national security, otherwise Iran will take all [00:11:11] necessary measures to defend itself. [00:11:15] Gariba bodi express hope that neighboring countries would join hands to ensure [00:11:18] peace and security in the region instead of relying on [00:11:22] foreign powers. [00:11:28] Now to talk more on this, we are joined by Mr. John Boznich, [00:11:32] journalist, activist and political analyst joining us from Federicton, Canada, [00:11:35] Mr. Boznic, good to see you again, Mr. Boznic, Iranian officials have [00:11:39] many of times tried to for a constructive way to [00:11:43] coexist with these regional countries, but yet we haven't seen any uh [00:11:47] eagerness by these uh literal states, Saudi Arabian even [00:11:51] started another front with Yemen, why is the... [00:11:55] question, haven't they realized that the US just does, they realized that the [00:11:58] US just does, [00:12:02] well, the the fact the mat, the fact the matter here is that the United [00:12:06] States is operating under orders from [00:12:09] Israel, the Israel lobby in the United States controls [00:12:13] Donald Trump and has pushed Donald Trump into a war that he [00:12:17] was lied to about, they told him that he could [00:12:21] win the war in two weeks and apparently he's [00:12:25] declared victory several times and there is no victory in [00:12:28] sight. um, the bigger issue at stake [00:12:32] here is the decolonization the [00:12:36] entire gulf region. many these [00:12:39] states, especially Saudi Arabia, the Emirates and so [00:12:43] on, are the leftovers, the holdovers the [00:12:46] previous British empire and its control over the [00:12:50] region. now that the British Empire has gone and the United [00:12:55] States has tried to take over the British Empire, these fell into [00:12:59] U.S. control. Now what we're seeing is the [00:13:02] home-gown resistance the Iranian people to the [00:13:06] foreign control the region, and if the Gulf [00:13:09] states were willing to be independent, and if they [00:13:13] were willing to operate as sovereign states, there could be some [00:13:17] negotiations with them by Iran, but so long as they [00:13:21] are dependencies of foreign superpower that answer. [00:13:25] to a criminal bribery scheme called the [00:13:29] Israeli lobby in America, there can't be any [00:13:33] peace, and so Iran is actually fighting a war of [00:13:37] liberation for its neighbors. you [00:13:41] mentioned [00:13:41] the British empire, do you think the British [00:13:45] empire or the anglos are behind all of this pitting [00:13:48] us against, I want to say southeast [00:13:52] Asian countries, southwest, Iran [00:13:55] to weaken those countries also uh [00:13:59] for for the zinest regime and also the Ukraine and the Russia [00:14:03] war, weaken Russia, weaken the Europe and then rise up [00:14:06] again, in both [00:14:09] cases, it's the Israel lobby which is [00:14:13] enforcing positions that the US government is [00:14:16] taking, the US government itself is a [00:14:20] zionist organization controlled by the [00:14:23] financers of the election campaigns, the election campaigns [00:14:27] in the United States cost hundreds of millions of [00:14:30] dollars, and in one case in particular, [00:14:34] President Trump got a donation of [00:14:38] $250 million dollars from a leading [00:14:42] zionist operating out the casinos in Las Vegas, [00:14:46] casinos in Las Vegas, so you've got a a [00:14:49] world that is hanging because the [00:14:53] bribery the... Israel lobby in the United States [00:14:57] has pushed America into war, a war that nobody [00:15:00] needed. Iran had not attacked anyone, and a war [00:15:04] that Israel demanded, and that's where we stand today, [00:15:08] with protesters in multiple countries pointing this out to their own [00:15:12] governments and their own governments being [00:15:15] beholden to the people who paid for their election [00:15:18] campaigns. We've got a corrupt world, and the corrupt [00:15:22] world is now focused on the straight of home. That's [00:15:26] right, Mr. Boz. Mr. Bosich, what could we expect this time [00:15:29] around, with the US military bases already in ruins, [00:15:33] reports say that 70% have all already been decimated by Iran? [00:15:37] "the US warships are hundreds of miles to formus or the persian gulf, the [00:15:41] sea to formus or the persian gulf, the sea of vaman, they can't get close to [00:15:45] Iran because Iran will retaliate, the multilayer defense wall [00:15:49] has been shattered, you could say - all the way to [00:15:52] Jordan, maybe this time Iran could target Israel [00:15:56] directly, like Yemen showed with Saudi Arabia, one rocket, one [00:16:00] missile straight to Riyadh, no uh defense by [00:16:04] uh Saudi Arabia, are we going [00:16:06] to see infrastructure for? infrastructure, what would that entail? so your [00:16:10] opinion, Mr. Bosnic? well, my opinion is that [00:16:13] the the world is about to face a true crisis, [00:16:17] in which the colonial powers, which set up these [00:16:21] regimes, with which Iran is now confronting, [00:16:24] that the colonial powers are going to finally have to admit that the colonial [00:16:28] era is over. Iran is merely defending [00:16:31] itself, defending its own waters, defending its own [00:16:34] territory, and there is a great deal of... sympathy for [00:16:38] Iran, and there is a great deal of awakening taking [00:16:42] place here in the west from many of us who were once [00:16:45] strong zionists as I was, as most people in the [00:16:49] western world were brought up to be, that Israel had to be [00:16:53] protected because Israel believed in our way of life. [00:16:57] What Israel has done in the Gaza genocide has [00:17:00] proven once and for all that if that's the [00:17:04] Israeli way of life, we cannot have. any part [00:17:08] in it, the brazen massacre of [00:17:12] hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians is a [00:17:16] step too far and it can never be forgiven, and that's [00:17:20] where Israel finds itself, and the only way they think they can get out of it [00:17:24] is by destroying Iran and blaming [00:17:27] everything on Iran. I don't think that will work, I think the Iranian [00:17:31] people are strong, I believe that your army and that your [00:17:35] people are united, and the impression that I get is that [00:17:38] America and its masters in Israel have met their [00:17:42] match. That's right, Mr. Boz, before we let you go, I have to ask you this [00:17:46] question. Many believe another round is just around the corner, but the question is [00:17:50] when. Uh, the reason I asked this is because Donald Trump says, nothing will [00:17:54] happen till the midterms, but we're not talking about Donald Trump, some [00:17:57] saying, I believe you also uh agree with this [00:18:01] that Donald Trump doesn't make [00:18:03] the decisions, it's Netanyahu and the Israeli regime, so it could be [00:18:07] before. the elections in Israel? [00:18:10] well, there could be an exchange of fire, there could be [00:18:14] further violence. but I think that Donald Trump is [00:18:17] looking very seriously at trying to win the mid-term elections, which are only [00:18:21] weeks away, and therefore he will do everything he can [00:18:25] to keep America out of any kind of conflagration at this [00:18:29] time, that does not, however, any way [00:18:33] restrict Israel, because Netanyahu appears to be going [00:18:37] for. broke all guns ahead, we can only [00:18:40] pray that God is watching and that he will [00:18:44] stop this kind of insanity from destroying, [00:18:48] perhaps the entire region, or if it exploded into a [00:18:52] world war ii, the entire world. They [00:18:56] have it, as you can see Mr. John, journalist, activist and political [00:19:00] analyst from Federict in Canada, Mr. Bosan, she's always great to have you with us on [00:19:03] Press TV, your knowledge, your assessment is always. [00:19:07] just for us. Thank you, sir. Thank you. And now, the Palestinian Resistance [00:19:11] movement, Hamas has strongly condemned the recent threats by Israeli minister of [00:19:15] military affairs to assassinate the head the movement's political bureau, [00:19:18] Khalil Alhya. In an official statement, Hamas said [00:19:22] Israel, Israel cuts threat amounts to organized state [00:19:26] terrorism and reflects the rogue regime's lack of respect for [00:19:30] international law. The movement added that Israel's threat to kill Hamas [00:19:33] chief also reveals the political bankrupcy the occupied. [00:19:37] regime and his fascist members. Hamas rest that such [00:19:41] threats will not alter the movement's firm position or its [00:19:44] approach to struggle and resistance until all the rights the [00:19:48] Palestinian people are restored. Hamas emphasized that [00:19:52] Israel's threats will only strengthen the resolve the movement and its [00:19:55] leaders. It called on the Gaza seesfire [00:19:58] mediators to take a decisive stance against Israel's reckless threats [00:20:02] and force the regime to fulfill his obligations including stopping [00:20:06] the aggression. and lifting the blockade on [00:20:09] Gaza. The Yemani [00:20:13] arm forces spokesman says a major wave of long-range [00:20:17] missile and drone strikes has targeted key airports and energy [00:20:21] infrastructure across Saudi Arabia. Let [00:20:23] see listen. The armed [00:20:27] forces carried out for qualitative operational listic and cruise missiles and [00:20:31] drones, listic and cruise missiles and drones. The first [00:20:35] operation targeted in three phases king. colored international airport in [00:20:39] Riyad, resulting in the disruption of air traffic and the complete closure the [00:20:42] airport. The second operation targeted the sugar dam gas [00:20:46] facility belonging to Arenko in the eastern province and resulted in [00:20:50] large fires breaking out at the targeted site. The [00:20:54] third operation targeted the Arenko tanajib oil refinery in the eastern [00:20:58] province and resulted in ignition in it. The fourth [00:21:01] operation targeted King Ford International Airport in [00:21:04] Damma. Brigadier general [00:21:08] Yahya Sari added that Yemani forces deployed six ballistic [00:21:12] missiles and two drones against Saudi back troops in Bable Mandeb [00:21:15] region. He said the attacks are in response to over [00:21:18] 124. to over 124 [00:21:22] saudi-backed air strikes across Yemen in just 24 [00:21:25] hours, Yahya Sari reiterated airports except [00:21:29] those in Mecca and Medina declaring them potential [00:21:32] targets. He said operations would continue to escalate under the [00:21:36] principle of escalation for escalation and blockade for [00:21:40] blockade until the Saudi military aggression and the siege are [00:21:43] brought to an [00:21:44] end. [00:21:50] Military and strategic analyst Ali ham believes Saudi Arabia is [00:21:54] losing the war in Yemen and is now begging other countries for help. Let's take a [00:21:57] listen, [00:22:04] the Saudis are losing, the Saudis are losing [00:22:08] the strategic war, why? because for water passes or to [00:22:11] pass for water passes or to pass through [00:22:15] Belmand or somewhere else, [00:22:19] they are - they they are very close to the edge [00:22:22] of oman sea, at the shore of oman sea, red [00:22:26] sea, and they are very close to oman sea, also the Arabian [00:22:30] sea, Saudi Arabia is in [00:22:34] short strategy, lock of strategy to [00:22:38] go into war against yemen for [00:22:41] exp, you know they experienced such war for eight years [00:22:45] with huge allies and more [00:22:49] more uh effective and strongest allies [00:22:52] ever for eight years before and they did not [00:22:56] succeed, now they are trying with some mercenaries, they are trying [00:23:00] to help for the triple agreements in Mecca from [00:23:04] Turkey and Pakistan, they you know it [00:23:08] gets to Muhammad bin Salman to ask the support of [00:23:12] al-Julai to send some mercenaries to al yeman to [00:23:15] fight on behalf of Saudi Arabia, so we [00:23:19] see... that Saudi Arabia for such [00:23:22] escalation, it's exactly remind us [00:23:26] of what happened during Yemen [00:23:29] supporting Gaza, saying [00:23:31] escalation against escalation, [00:23:35] airport against airport, and this is exactly what [00:23:39] happened, and it's all still the [00:23:42] allie, the resistance allied for the benefits of [00:23:46] Palestine against the abstin. [00:23:50] lies for the benefits of [00:23:52] Israel, [00:23:56] and with that we come to the end of this spot. Thank you for being with us, take care and [00:23:59] stay [00:24:00] safe. [00:24:21] When you are born on Iranian soil, something is born with you, [00:24:25] the belief that a homeland is not merely a place to live, but [00:24:28] sometimes a place you must be willing to die for. The roots of this [00:24:32] belief can be found even in the legends of Iran, and perhaps no [00:24:36] legend expresses it more powerfully than the story of Arash. [00:24:40] After the war between Iran and Turan, it is decided that [00:24:43] Iran's new frontier will be determined by the flight of a single [00:24:47] arrow. Arash stands a top mount damand, he puts [00:24:51] all his strength, all his life into the arrow and releases [00:24:54] it. Arash dies, but the arrow flies on. Where did it [00:24:58] land? To find the answer, we must leave legend behind and [00:25:02] enter history. 330 BC, Alexander had crushed [00:25:06] nearly every major power in his path and was advancing toward [00:25:10] Presepolis. At the Persian gate, Ario Barzanis stood [00:25:14] with around 700 warriors against an army of more than [00:25:17] 10,000. They knew that if they resist... they would die, but [00:25:21] they chose an honorable death over life under domination. [00:25:25] They stopped Alexander's first assault and forced him to retreat, [00:25:29] and for the generations that followed, they left behind a legacy. [00:25:33] Resistance means knowing that you may lose your life, yet refusing to [00:25:36] let an enemy cross your land without paying a price. Two [00:25:40] centuries later, this time Rome came from the west. In [00:25:44] 53 BC, Crasus invaded Parthian territory with [00:25:47] vast army, facing him. but young commander, [00:25:51] Sirena, with his mounted archers and a thousand camels carrying an [00:25:55] endless supply of arrows, Sirena filled the skies with a storm [00:25:59] of arrows. The Roman army suffered one the most. devastating [00:26:02] defeats in its history, but for Iranians, land is not the [00:26:06] only frontier, the sea is a frontier too. At the beginning [00:26:10] the 16th century, the Portuguese seized Hormus, a [00:26:14] small island at the entrance to the Persian Gulf, whose control meant [00:26:18] command over one the most important trade roots between east and [00:26:22] west. They built fortresses, they brought cannons, and they [00:26:25] remained for more than a century. In 1622, [00:26:29] Iranian forces under the command of Imam Koli Khan, reached [00:26:33] Hormus. After a hard-fought siege, Portuguese power in [00:26:36] Hormus was broken and the island was [00:26:39] retaken. But the Persian Gulf never [00:26:42] disappeared from the ambitions of colonial powers. In [00:26:46] 1915, British forces occupied Bucher. [00:26:49] Against an army backed by warships, artillery, and the power of [00:26:53] one the world's greatest empires, the people of southern Iran stood [00:26:57] with simple rifles. Their resistance was led by a man named [00:27:01] Rais Ali. [00:27:03] del vari during the months of occupation he organized the resistance the people of [00:27:07] Tangistan. For Rais Ali, the question was never how [00:27:11] many soldiers stood on either side. The principle was simple: [00:27:15] Iranian soil is not negotiable, even if defending it [00:27:18] costs your life. Rais Ali was eventually martered in that [00:27:22] struggle. September 3rd, the anniversary of his murderdom is [00:27:26] commemorated in Iran as the national day of struggle against [00:27:30] British colonialism, but the resistance to not end with his [00:27:33] death, years later British forces finally left [00:27:36] Bucher, yet the ambitions of foreign powers toward Iran [00:27:40] did not end there, because [00:27:43] Iran also had oil. For decades, much of Iran's oil [00:27:47] industry remained under the influence of a British company, until [00:27:51] 1951, Mohammed Mosadeg stood against threats, [00:27:55] political pressure and economic pressure and declared, Iran's [00:27:59] oil must belong to Iran. The oil industry. was [00:28:02] nationalized. two years later, a coup backed directly by the [00:28:06] United States and Britain overthrough his government. Mosadeg was [00:28:10] removed from power and spent the remaining years of his life in [00:28:13] imprisonment and house arrest, but one demand could no longer be [00:28:17] erased. Iran's wealth must remain in Iranian [00:28:21] hands, land, water, [00:28:24] oil. But now, the issue is no longer only land, [00:28:28] water, or oil. It is something greater than all them, [00:28:31] independent. The question of who has the right to decide Iran's [00:28:35] future. In June, 2025, the United States [00:28:39] directly attacked Iran's nuclear facilities, and since [00:28:42] February 2026, Iran has been engaged in direct [00:28:46] military confrontation with the United States and Israel. For [00:28:50] months, military and economic pressure has continued, but [00:28:53] Iran has never been willing to trade its independence for temporary [00:28:57] peace, independence for temporary peace, bows, arrows and [00:29:01] horsizzles. tanks, drones [00:29:05] and fighter jets, but the [00:29:09] blood of arash still runs through Iranian veins. And [00:29:13] now, let us return to the same question. Where did Arasha's arrow [00:29:16] land? The arrow flew more than a thousand kilometers all the way [00:29:20] to the banks the Axis river. Arash lost his [00:29:24] life, but he did not allow the enemy to decide [00:29:28] Iran's fate, and that legacy passed [00:29:32] from one generation to the next. An Iranian may [00:29:35] give his life for his homeland and independence, but he will never [00:29:39] surrender their fate to foreign [00:29:41] power.
