[00:00:00] Lines on Press TV Iran security chief tells Press TV that the US [00:00:03] response to Terran's conditions for reopening the straight of hormos [00:00:07] is inadequate and contains ambiguities that must be [00:00:12] of cleared. The IRGC navy warns all vessels not to turn off their [00:00:15] navigation systems during Homo's transit saying all ships doing [00:00:19] this will be considered hostile and will be targeted. [00:00:23] And Hamas strongly condemns Israel's threat to assassinate the head [00:00:27] of the political Bureau stressing that the regime's [00:00:30] of threat amounts to organized state [00:00:33] terrorism. [00:00:49] hello everyone, you're watching Press TV live from the studios in [00:00:53] Tehran. thank you for joining us. [00:00:56] in a top story, an exclusive interview [00:00:59] with press TV. top security official [00:01:01] of says Washington's response to Tehrans seven conditions [00:01:05] in a proposal to reopen the strategic straight of Formus is [00:01:08] inadequate. Major General Monsaid the United States [00:01:12] must first clarify those issues that remain [00:01:15] ambiguous for Iran. Let's take a [00:01:20] of of listen. of Over the past two months, the Americans made proposals to us through [00:01:24] three channels: Pakistan, Qatar, and even Iraq, and [00:01:28] of asked us to give them our own proposal. we announce seven conditions [00:01:32] of to the americans. if you do not act [00:01:34] on these conditions, neither will the straight of hormos be open to you, [00:01:37] nor will there be [00:01:38] of any negotiations? the americans have now given a response. in their [00:01:42] response, they have accepted some of our conditions, [00:01:45] of and there are some [00:01:46] of ambiguities. therefore, the americans have responded to [00:01:49] of us. we are not in the process of responding to the americans. the [00:01:53] americans have responded to us and we consider their response [00:01:59] of insufficient. He added that the Americans must remove [00:02:03] those parts that are considered ambiguous [00:02:05] in by Iran and Tehran is waiting to see [00:02:07] a whether they can remove those ambiguities before heading to the next [00:02:10] stages. Elsewhere in his interview, Razay said the US [00:02:14] has suffered defeat after defeat against Iran and that's why [00:02:18] Washington has turned to economic war against the [00:02:21] country. [00:02:28] in suffered major. [00:02:29] The defeat enemy in the 12-day war and then again in the 40-day war they resorted [00:02:33] to naval blockade but that led [00:02:35] them nowhere and recently they launched economic isolation plan. [00:02:39] they faced defeat in [00:02:41] in almost every single campaign they launched, but we stayed put pursuing our plans [00:02:45] and neutralized all those campaigns with [00:02:47] of accurate of planning and [00:02:48] calculations. [00:02:53] the general said the US has failed [00:02:55] of even to end this war of aggression, he stress that the option to end the [00:02:59] aggression is a hands of Ivan, and Iranians will not stop their [00:03:02] resistance until they get what is rightfully theirs. [00:03:06] Razay added that the US is the root cause [00:03:09] of the problem concerning the [00:03:10] in straight of Formus. The [00:03:12] of general said Iran seeks management [00:03:14] of the straight to ensure regional security, especially in the Persian [00:03:18] Gulf. He rejected Washington's claim that [00:03:21] it is transporting major amounts of oil through the key waterway. [00:03:25] Razi said the US is only using smugglers to transport [00:03:28] negligible amounts of oil while the straight remains [00:03:31] closed. [00:03:36] political commentator sayid morsen abbas says Iran has every right to [00:03:40] close the straight off for mouse in response to the anglo-zionist war of [00:03:43] aggression as international law does not operate in the same way [00:03:47] during the wartime. Let's take a [00:03:49] listen. It's a [00:03:53] war. Who started the war? Again, it's the anglo-ziist [00:03:57] empire that started the war and in wartime. "these kind of [00:04:01] maritime rules and regulations, they don't operate, I [00:04:04] mean, how is it on earth is it a reality that Iran has to [00:04:08] abide by first of all maritime rules that it's never signed up to, and [00:04:12] then top of that it it has aggressive uh forces which are [00:04:16] trying to use that oil [00:04:17] in a war against it, why, why should it, [00:04:19] of why should they be obligated to allow any shipping to go through there? [00:04:23] now the chip that is going, of course, I [00:04:26] would [00:04:29] in have, [00:04:36] issues on there, so the ships which Iran is getting out, which the [00:04:39] American [00:04:40] of Navy can't stop, uh, are definitely going to be [00:04:44] shipping is going to to South Asia and perhaps Europe, mainly [00:04:48] it South Asia, and that that's something that Iran in terms [00:04:52] of its trade in oil will do, and anybody else that wants to take [00:04:55] oil out [00:04:56] of there - [00:04:58] that region or LNG or fertilizers they... if [00:05:00] in they go through the procedures that Iran is said then they will be [00:05:04] of allowed to to take [00:05:06] that's [00:05:10] whher and west Asia. says ivan has [00:05:14] not only won the us Israel in post war, but also gained [00:05:18] dominance, prompting the Trump administration to turn to economic [00:05:21] warfare. [00:05:25] Iran won the war and Iran is the one who has [00:05:29] escalation dominance in here, not just ability to [00:05:33] respond that for that on this and that, so a [00:05:37] Trump administration, they [00:05:40] targets today, the economical [00:05:43] ability of survivor in Iran and [00:05:47] they in that way as I mentioned many times [00:05:51] they're trying to create what they call the hyper [00:05:55] inflation in Iran, they they failed [00:05:58] in in doing so since iran since [00:06:01] 1979 is used to the [00:06:05] American campaigns of trying [00:06:08] to starg to suffocate the economy in Iran [00:06:12] response to any response to any attempts [00:06:16] by the Americans will be devastating and the [00:06:19] Americans but that's [00:06:23] before even that's before even they today [00:06:27] what we hear Trump is saying like [00:06:30] something nothing to do with the war always he repeat the [00:06:34] statement that he Iran were not gonna have [00:06:37] nuclear nuclear arm program or [00:06:41] nuclear bomb since day one iran said [00:06:44] that to the Americans and on that the [00:06:47] GCPA were signed and he come [00:06:51] himself negate that [00:06:53] signature. [00:06:57] The commander the Islamic Revolution Gas Course Navy has warned all [00:07:01] vessels transiting through the straight of Formus not to shut down their [00:07:05] navigation and automatic identification systems. [00:07:08] reradmiral Aliasmai said in his message that all ships... [00:07:12] that turn off their navigation and identification systems in the straight of [00:07:16] Furmus will be identified as hostile and will be [00:07:20] dealt with severely and decisively. his warning [00:07:24] came after the IRGC announced that violating oil super [00:07:27] tanker has caught fire after striking naval mine in the straight of [00:07:31] Urmus while trying to cross the straight through an unauthorized [00:07:35] route. the IOGC Navy said the violating vessels [00:07:39] had turned off all identification and navigation system. before [00:07:42] attempting to pass through unauthorized waters, it added [00:07:46] that this was the third violating tanker in two days to strike [00:07:50] naval mines and catch fire while attempting illegal [00:07:54] hurumus transit. the IRGC navy reiterated [00:07:57] that any vessel trying to cross the strategic waterway after disabling [00:08:01] his navigation systems will be considered hostile target and [00:08:05] dealt with [00:08:06] accordingly. [00:08:11] journalist author and usa Sakina Datu joined us earlier, she said the [00:08:15] international community must hold the US Israeli aggression against Iran [00:08:19] responsible for rising fuel and energy prices, noting that the [00:08:23] straight of Hurmus was already open before the aggression [00:08:26] began. [00:08:31] Iran has every right to control the waters around its own [00:08:34] area, and these are you they have control and they also [00:08:38] have not completely stopped ships from passing you. [00:08:42] "there are conditions, however, because for far too long the straight of [00:08:46] hormos used to be open to everybody and it was a war [00:08:50] on Iran that has brought this upon the world itself and upon the [00:08:54] global economy, because Iran was attacked and [00:08:57] therefore you know closing state of hormos or managing it [00:09:01] is in the interest is it's a vital [00:09:05] security issue for Iran in this stage, so absolutely who can [00:09:09] blame Iran for wanting to make sure that the..." have the control [00:09:13] over the street and also these ships [00:09:16] you know the very fact that they turn off all navigation is in [00:09:19] itself indication that they are aware that they are doing something illegal [00:09:23] otherwise you know if they really had that kind of a courage to defy [00:09:27] then why do they have to turn you know the navigations [00:09:31] off and so I think you know [00:09:33] the the reality is that things are getting very very tough for the [00:09:37] US we have seen them now coming to this deal with Russia [00:09:40] to get some boil out from from Russia, all [00:09:44] this signifies the fact that they are desperate and that despite [00:09:48] Trump constantly saying [00:09:49] you know he had the control, he doesn't have the control the straight of [00:09:53] homos, there is no control on Babul Mandap, we've been watching [00:09:57] what the yemenis, what ansarulah is [00:09:59] doing, the Iranian deputy [00:10:03] foreign minister says Iran seeks constructive relations with his [00:10:07] neighbors, but considers the presence of US forces in the region a [00:10:10] cause of insecurity. Speaking a press conference, Kazim [00:10:14] Gharibabadi said security and stability the Persian Gulf [00:10:17] region can only be established by the regional countries, not foreign [00:10:21] forces. He added that the 40-day US is really. aggression against [00:10:25] Ivan showed that the presence of American forces has [00:10:29] been a source of insecurity even for those countries that are hosting [00:10:33] American military bases. Karibadi stressed that the security [00:10:37] the Iran and regional countries are intertwined countries are [00:10:41] intertwined. He said Iran expects other country aggression against [00:10:45] its national security, otherwise Iran will take all necessary [00:10:49] measures to defend itself. Karibabadi expressed hope [00:10:52] that neighboring countries would join hands. to ensure peace and security in the [00:10:56] region instead of relying on foreign [00:10:59] powers. [00:11:03] journalist and political analyst John says as long as Arab states in [00:11:06] the Persian Gulf depend on the US for their security, they will be [00:11:10] unable to enjoy lasting peace. let's hear them [00:11:13] out. [00:11:17] the Israel lobby in the United States controls Donald Trump [00:11:21] and has pushed Donald Trump into a war that he was [00:11:25] lied to about, they told him that he could win the war in [00:11:29] two weeks and um, apparently he's declared [00:11:32] victory several times and there is no victory in sight. [00:11:36] um, the bigger issue at stake here is [00:11:40] the decolonization the entire gulf [00:11:44] region. many these states, uh, [00:11:47] especially Saudi Arabia, the Emirates and on, [00:11:50] so are the leftovers, the holdovers the previous [00:11:54] British... empire and its control over the [00:11:57] region. now that the British Empire has gone and the [00:12:01] United States has tried to take over the British Empire, these [00:12:05] fell into U.S. control. now what we're seeing is [00:12:09] the home-grown resistance the Iranian people to [00:12:13] the foreign control the region, and if the Gulf [00:12:16] states were willing to be independent as sovereign [00:12:20] states, there could as sovereign states, there could be some [00:12:24] neg. ations with them by Iran, but so long as [00:12:28] they are dependencies of foreign superpower that [00:12:31] answers to criminal bribery scheme [00:12:35] called the Israeli lobby in America, there can't [00:12:39] be any peace, and so Iran is actually fighting a [00:12:43] war of liberation for its [00:12:45] neighbors. The [00:12:49] Yemani arm forces spokesman says a major wave of long-range [00:12:53] missile and drone strikes has... targeted key airports and energy [00:12:56] infrastructure across Saudi [00:12:58] Arabia. [00:13:04] The armed forces carried out for qualitative operations in the past 24 [00:13:08] hours using ballistic and cruise missiles and drones. The [00:13:12] first operation targeted in three phases King Khalid international airport in [00:13:16] Riad resulting in the disruption of air traffic and the complete [00:13:19] closure the airport. The second operation targeted the [00:13:23] Sugar Dam gas facility. [00:13:24] belonging to enco [00:13:25] in the eastern province and resulted in large fires breaking out at the [00:13:29] targeted site. The third operation targeted the [00:13:33] Arenko tanajib oil refinery in the eastern province and resulted in [00:13:37] ignition in it. The fourth operation targeted King Ford [00:13:40] into National Airport in [00:13:41] Damasum. [00:13:46] Brigady general that the Yemen forces [00:13:50] deployed six ballistic missiles and two drones against Saudi back troops [00:13:54] in the boblement. that region, he said the attacks are in response to [00:13:58] over 124 saudi-backed airstrikes across [00:14:01] Yemen in just 24 hours. Yahyasari [00:14:05] reiterated the warning against using Saudi airports [00:14:08] airports, except those in Mecca and Medina, declaring them [00:14:12] potential targets. He said operations would continue to escalate [00:14:16] under the principle of escalation for escalation and blockade for [00:14:20] blockade until the Saudi military aggression and the siege are [00:14:24] brought to a [00:14:29] Military and strategic analyst Ali ham believes Saudi Arabia is [00:14:33] losing the war in Yemen and is now begging other countries for [00:14:36] help. [00:14:40] The Saudies are losing the strategic war, why? because the [00:14:44] Yemanies are not in need of water passes or to [00:14:48] pass through Belmand or somewhere [00:14:51] else, they are the... They are very [00:14:55] close to to Africa, they are at the edge of [00:14:59] Oman sea, at the shore of Oman sea, red [00:15:03] sea and they are very close to Oman Sea, also the Arabian [00:15:06] sea, Saudi Arabia is in [00:15:10] short strategy, luck of strategy to [00:15:14] go into war against Yemen for [00:15:18] exper you know they experienced such war for eight years [00:15:22] with huge allies and more [00:15:25] more uh effective and strongest allies [00:15:29] ever for eight years before and they not [00:15:32] succeed now they are trying with some mercenaries they are trying [00:15:36] to help for the triple agreements in Mecca [00:15:40] from Turkey and Pakistan, the you [00:15:43] know it gets to Muhammad bin Salman to ask the [00:15:47] support of Aljuani to send some mercenaries to al [00:15:51] yeman to fight on behalf of Saudi Arabia, [00:15:55] so we see that Saudi Arabia for such [00:15:59] escalation, it's exactly remind us [00:16:02] of what happened during Yemen [00:16:05] supporting Gaza. saying escalation [00:16:09] against escalation, airport against [00:16:13] airport, and this is exactly what happened, and it's [00:16:16] all still the allie, the resistance [00:16:20] allie for the benefits of Palestine against [00:16:24] the abstin allies for the [00:16:28] benefits of Israel. the [00:16:31] palestinian resistance moving Hamas has strongly condemned the recent threats by [00:16:35] Israel's minister of military. affairs to assassinate the head the [00:16:39] movement's political bureau Khalil. In an official statement, [00:16:43] Hamas said Israel cases threat amounds to organized [00:16:47] state terrorism and reflects the rogue regime's lack of [00:16:50] respect for international law. The movement added that Israel's threat to [00:16:54] kill Hamas chief also reveals the political bankrupcy the [00:16:58] occupying regime and his fascist members. Hamar stressed [00:17:02] that such threats will not alter the movement's firm position was [00:17:06] approached to struggle. and resistance until all the rights the [00:17:09] Palestinian people are restored. Hamas emphasized that [00:17:13] Israel's threats will only strengthen the resolve the movement and its [00:17:17] leaders. It called on the Gaza Sees five mediators to take [00:17:21] decisive stance against Israel's reckless threats and forced the [00:17:25] regime to fulfill its obligations, including stopping the aggression [00:17:29] and lifting the blockade on [00:17:30] Gaza. [00:17:37] Meanwhile, South Koreans have demonstrated in downtown Soul on Sunday to [00:17:41] call attention to the continuing US-Israely genocide in Gaza and [00:17:45] the U.S. war on Iran. This slamed US President Donald Trump [00:17:49] and Israely prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu as war crimes. Press [00:17:53] TV correspondent Frank Smith reports from the South Korean [00:17:56] capital, [00:18:02] so Palestinians, west Asians and people from all over joined South [00:18:06] Koreans to... march and rally in downtown soul to draw attention [00:18:10] to the genocide in Gaza now marking three years. [00:18:14] Palestinians express their gratitude in solidarity on [00:18:18] this global day of action for Palestine. From [00:18:22] Palestine to Korea, from Gaza to all the peoples the world, [00:18:26] we will remain united because justice knows no borders, because [00:18:29] our freedom is interconnected, and because our destinies are [00:18:33] intertwined. We will not stop until the genocide ends, until [00:18:37] war. and occupation come to an end, and until every [00:18:40] people achieve freedom, dignity, and the right to self-determination. [00:18:44] Colonial settler identities are seen to contribute to enabling [00:18:48] action and failure the international community to end the [00:18:52] conflict. Part of why these uh superpowers [00:18:56] are not acting against uh Israel's genocide is [00:18:59] because then they would have to confront their own genocide that they have [00:19:03] historically committed against the native people. For instance, the native American. [00:19:08] or aboriginal people in Australia. US president Donald Trump [00:19:12] has rubber stamped Israel's genocide with weapons and [00:19:15] diplomatic cover for Israel, drawing harsh criticism. [00:19:19] protesters also targeted his trump again played the fear card [00:19:23] to trump again played the fear card to generate support for his [00:19:27] failed forever war against Iran by [00:19:30] suggesting that los angeles or San Diego could face nuclear [00:19:34] attack and be taken out. Sparks are also seen [00:19:38] as an attempt to distract attention from American war [00:19:42] crimes in the failures of his administration. [00:19:46] Trump's under fire here for pressuring South Korea to send troops [00:19:50] to help with his war on Iran. Trump and [00:19:54] Netanyahu must bring the wars to an end and I hope for the defeat the US [00:19:57] and Israel. South Korea must absolutely refrain from deploying troops [00:20:01] to support the conflict between the US and Iran. I believe that no support [00:20:05] should be provided for the war any. whether as combat troops or [00:20:09] non-combat personnel. As the Gaza tool now surpasses [00:20:13] 75,000 people killed by Israel. Global [00:20:16] condemnation demands freedom for Palestine. Frank [00:20:20] Smith, press TV, [00:20:22] meanwile tens of [00:20:26] thousands stick to the streets of Brussels demanding that European leaders [00:20:29] prioritize climate action and social justice over military [00:20:33] spending. Campaigners say governments of fueling wars while neglecting. [00:20:37] the environmental crisis, threatening the planet. [00:20:41] reports from the belgian [00:20:42] capital. [00:20:48] as far as the eye can see, tens of thousands flood central [00:20:51] Brussels on Sunday, demanding radical shift in political [00:20:55] priorities. Climate change dominates the march, [00:20:59] but opposition to war and the EU's massive military spending [00:21:03] is also high on the agenda. Real resilience of [00:21:07] society uh is to invest in climates, is to [00:21:11] invest in social policies, that is important, more [00:21:15] important than investing uh hundreds of millions, billions and [00:21:18] weapons against. backdrop the illegal US-Israeli [00:21:22] war against Iran, Israel's genocide in Gaza and [00:21:26] the conflict in Ukraine, protesters accuse western leaders [00:21:30] of prioritizing warfare over peace, climate [00:21:33] action and social protection. Of course, [00:21:37] political figures in America, the UK and here in the EU are [00:21:41] focused on war. They have vested interests, but the people [00:21:45] want peace, prosperity and normal climate. Research [00:21:49] suggests the world. militaries account for around [00:21:52] 5.5% of global greenhouse gas [00:21:55] emissions, exposing the staggering environmental cost [00:21:59] of militarization. focus on uh the [00:22:02] danger, war, uh, [00:22:05] weapons, climate. when financial [00:22:08] institutions face collapse, governments find billions to rescue [00:22:12] them. protesters are asking why the same urgency isn't shown [00:22:16] when it comes saving the planet. if the - "the [00:22:20] earth was a bank, it was, it would have already been [00:22:23] saved, so I think that we [00:22:26] have the capacity, we have the money, we [00:22:30] have, we can take the right decision to make it possible. [00:22:33] Sunday's protest brought together activists trying to highlight a whole [00:22:37] range of subjects, not just the climate. More than 100 [00:22:41] Belgian civil society groups, including trade unions, environmental [00:22:45] organizations, humanitarian charities, and social [00:22:49] justice." activts were involved, the message from these [00:22:52] campaigners could not be any clearer, governments cannot claim to be [00:22:56] fighting climate change while pouring hundreds of billions into military [00:23:00] expansion, they argue that the world needs less investment [00:23:04] in warfare and more investment in protecting the [00:23:08] planet.

[00:26:23] Behind the cold, lifeless statistics of war, lie [00:26:27] human faces, each one's a world of life, laughter and [00:26:31] unfulfilled dreams. people whose entire share of this earth [00:26:34] was reduced in a single instant a picture frame a [00:26:38] wall. one of those names is Elijah Khatami, a [00:26:41] 12-year-old boy from the city of Lamert, full of [00:26:44] vitality, sharp-witted and with smile that never left [00:26:48] his face. like many boys his age across the globe, he had a [00:26:52] dream. he loved football, he would erupt with joy, with his [00:26:56] team won cheer for Cristiano Ronaldo and lose himself in [00:27:00] the sheer thrill of chasing ball. yet deep in his [00:27:04] young heart, even bigger dream had taken root. he [00:27:07] wanted to be firefighter to run into the flames and save [00:27:11] lives. his father still vividly recalls the day he dressed [00:27:15] him an oversized firefighter uniform, handing him [00:27:19] extinguisher as Elia's eyes sparkled with the passion [00:27:23] to put out fires and rescue people. but [00:27:27] the fire that engulfed this land was not meant to be extinguished nor did [00:27:31] it leave any room for rescue. a devastating war waged by the US and [00:27:34] Israel, the dreams of generations collapsed in the blink of [00:27:38] an eye. on February 28th, the first day of war, [00:27:42] it was on that very after school break, tired his football, school [00:27:46] break, tired his football clays and stepped outside with [00:27:50] light, eager steps that the terrifying roar of air strikes [00:27:54] tore through the sky, his father running desperately through [00:27:57] gridlocked, panicked streets, finally reached the end the [00:28:01] line at. bloodstain [00:28:02] old emergency room hallway, there Elia's lifeless [00:28:06] body was carried a stretcher, his eyes half [00:28:09] open, sharp note to the back of his head [00:28:13] proved too merciless for 30 rounds of CPR, [00:28:17] and mother's relentless tears or helpless father's chest [00:28:20] compressions to bring a heartbreak back to that pure young [00:28:24] soul. Elia was killed, a child who held no [00:28:28] gun, who only dreamed of saving others lost his life a war, he had [00:28:32] no... heart and igniting. now inside that home, a grieving father steps [00:28:36] every morning into empty room staring at untouched [00:28:39] belongings. heartbroken mother finds celess only [00:28:43] a dust covered picture frame. this is the bitter [00:28:46] unwornish reality the price paid by innocent civilians, [00:28:50] children whose games were cut short, and a world that [00:28:54] watches their tomorrows burn an absolute [00:28:56] silence.
