[00:00:02] In a reminder of our top stories, Tehron rejects Washington's claims that [00:00:06] energy shipments continue freely through the [00:00:08] of straight of hormos, saying the US's reliance on other countries for [00:00:12] fuel contradicts its own narrative. Saudi Arabia [00:00:16] of extends suspension of flights its main airport in the capital [00:00:20] Riyadh following series of attacks by the Yemeni Armed [00:00:23] forces [00:00:29] of of and French students take to the streets and block school entrances in several cities to protest the country's education [00:00:33] system, [00:00:39] of [00:00:44] of of [00:00:44] of [00:00:50] hello and very good [00:00:50] of afternoon to you from tehran, i am bah and this is press tv [00:00:54] news, iran rejects the us's [00:00:57] a claim that energy is being [00:00:58] of freely transported the straight of hormos, the foreign [00:01:02] ministry spokesman says [00:01:03] of the US [00:01:04] of itself is turning to other countries for supplies of fuel, which clearly [00:01:08] shows the straight is [00:01:09] closed. [00:01:13] the allegations by the US by no means match the facts on the [00:01:17] ground. let them say the straight of hormas no longer has [00:01:20] any impact and Iran has lost its leverage. [00:01:24] we will pursue our own [00:01:26] of agenda. [00:01:26] of [00:01:27] of i think markets aren't also supposed to give any weight to... such [00:01:30] claims, international developments [00:01:33] are much revealing here, the US [00:01:35] of resorting of to other countries to furnish its fuel needs. I should [00:01:39] clarify that Iran was not after gaining leverage by what is happening in the straight [00:01:42] of [00:01:43] in hormas. What we saw there since February [00:01:47] of 28th, was a direct result [00:01:48] of the US [00:01:49] Israeli attacks on Iran. They abused waterway where [00:01:53] Iran has the longest coastline to launch attacks on the [00:01:55] country. [00:01:57] of Security of will not be restored to the [00:01:59] of waterways so long. [00:02:08] of [00:02:16] of he said the proposals are [00:02:20] those inserted in the islam about [00:02:23] of MU which the US violated, the spokesman said [00:02:25] of the one's demands in the proposals include the removal [00:02:28] of the naval blockade. and all anti-iran sanctions and [00:02:32] ending the US war on all fronts in the region, but [00:02:36] Iran won't return to square [00:02:38] of one after the repeated betrayal of commitments by the US. The [00:02:41] spokesman said Iran cannot be blamed for the current diplomatic unpass [00:02:45] and he said the statemate that is created by those who [00:02:49] blew up the negotiating table waged [00:02:51] of military aggression and escalated that by economic war on [00:02:55] Iran and continue to insist on their excessive [00:02:58] of [00:02:59] of demands. political commentator Henry [00:03:03] Hakamaki was earlier with [00:03:05] of us, he said the US is playing a political game ahead [00:03:07] of the November elections by claiming that oil flows through the straight of [00:03:11] hormos. [00:03:15] We know that the straight of horm is not open, we know that the straight of [00:03:19] horm [00:03:19] of is not controlled by the Americans, we know that the flow of oil is not what it [00:03:23] was at before the American War of aggression against [00:03:27] of Iran. Just [00:03:28] of within the last week we have at these three cases where tankers were uh [00:03:32] hit by either missiles or hit mines within the straight of [00:03:36] hormous uh by going [00:03:38] of through uh uncleared routes through the straight to for [00:03:42] moves. does that sound open to you? because I know for fact that [00:03:46] if I was a ship in hitting mines I wouldn't consider that to be [00:03:49] open. Just within the last week as well. I had seen [00:03:52] of reports that there is efforts to recruit [00:03:55] of new ship captains with offers of up to [00:03:57] $100,000 per month. in hazard pay [00:04:01] salary in order to try to coers people to try to navigate [00:04:05] a [00:04:05] of straight that is very clearly not open. the question on the [00:04:09] contradiction here is a quite clear one, and of course the [00:04:13] timing is is rather obvious. the United States has [00:04:17] midterm elections coming up on November 3rd, and as the polls are [00:04:21] indicating, Donald Trump's policy regarding the war [00:04:25] in Iran and his party more generally, are not [00:04:29] of performing particular... really well in the polls, so to [00:04:32] of of project that there is some sort of control [00:04:35] of the straight formus, to project that oil is [00:04:38] flowing, these are clear political narratives, [00:04:41] also efforts to keep oil prices at least somewhat in [00:04:46] of check. of of of of Iran's acting defense minister [00:04:50] has strongly [00:04:51] of condemned US's threats of renewed aggression against the Islamic Republic [00:04:55] warning [00:04:56] of Washington that any such move would mean playing with fire, but [00:05:00] General Majid Ab US Secretary of State [00:05:03] of Marco Ruby about the consequences of fueling clash of [00:05:07] civilization saying that Iran is fully prepared to defend [00:05:10] itself, he said those such a confrontation cannot [00:05:14] control how far it spreads or determine how it ends [00:05:17] eh [00:05:18] added that turning historical and cultural differences into grounds for [00:05:22] political and military confrontations is far more dangerous [00:05:26] than verbal assaults, meanwile brigadier [00:05:29] generalshi a senior spokesman for Iran's [00:05:33] armed forces said recent insults by US officials [00:05:36] targeting Iran civilization and history would only strengthen the [00:05:40] Iranian nations resolve he that Iran's armed forces are better [00:05:44] prepared and more capable than ever to defend the country's national [00:05:48] interest and [00:05:49] security. [00:05:53] A new novel is bringing the tragedy the shajar school in [00:05:57] Iran's southern city of Minab to readers through the voices and [00:06:01] experiences of those who actually lived through it titled [00:06:04] blood of minab the 360 page work seeks to [00:06:08] immortalize the tragedy and preserve the memory the victims for [00:06:11] generation. [00:06:42] for yourself, there was no atomic bomb in this backpack, no [00:06:46] enriched uranium, and no missiles, there were only books, [00:06:50] pens, colored pencils and notebooks. It was carrying Iran's [00:06:54] future, but the whole world should know that this will not stop [00:06:57] us. We will rebuild our country, and we will make it better than [00:07:01] before. Now a new novel is attempting to tell [00:07:05] the story, not through statistics alone, but through the [00:07:09] lives, memories, and the grief the people. [00:07:20] one the government's main priorities has been to use every means available [00:07:24] to expose the full extent of this crime to the world. literature is [00:07:28] clearly one the best ways to preserve its memory for generations to [00:07:32] come. that is why we decided to support the publication the book [00:07:36] titled blood of [00:07:37] minab. the [00:07:41] writer of this book, spent around a month in Minab and [00:07:45] nearby villages, speaking with the residents, [00:07:48] witnesses, and families who lost their loved [00:07:51] ones. my [00:07:55] main motivation for writing this book was to find answer to one [00:07:59] question: when tragedy strikes, what is the responsibility of [00:08:03] literature? history records what happened, but literature makes it [00:08:06] amortal by recounting the consequences and showing how the tragedy [00:08:10] has affected the people the region. [00:08:42] dreams and so many plans, the blood of Minab is [00:08:46] trying to ensure that the story of shajar [00:08:50] is remembered not just as a tragedy, but [00:08:54] through the people whose lives it has changed. [00:08:57] news report records the events, a photograph preserves the [00:09:01] moment, but literature attempts something different, going [00:09:05] beyond the headlines and entering the lives the people, [00:09:08] and this is exactly what the book does. [00:09:19] well you're watching live footage coming in right now from watching live footage [00:09:22] coming in right now from the city of Brussels capital city of [00:09:26] Belgium and you can see um that Brussels is [00:09:29] experiencing hightensions and security measures [00:09:33] filing following violent clashes that's is [00:09:37] occurring them between protesters and the police you're watching life for it [00:09:41] right now [00:09:42] you can't see that the um special forces the [00:09:45] police are are kind of pursuing the [00:09:49] protesters, protesters mainly um young [00:09:52] students um both high school and university [00:09:55] students who are running away at this moment that you watching [00:09:59] this um moment and this footage coming in right now [00:10:02] live from the city of Brussels in [00:10:05] Belgium so um of course regarding what [00:10:09] triggered all of this it's on October the... [00:10:13] around 30,000 people [00:10:15] attempted and to take part in [00:10:18] these street protests in solidarity with the similar [00:10:22] protests that are happening in their neighboring. France [00:10:26] which was response to very weak educational systems [00:10:30] and demanding for better education systems, well of course we know that the [00:10:34] educational systems in Belgium and France are very similar to one [00:10:38] another, so um similar protest also occurred [00:10:42] and broke out in Belgium, so this is live footage, you can [00:10:45] see security forces, also the police forces, the [00:10:49] anti-riot um legions the police forces in [00:10:52] Belgium are also following the... and trying to disperse them in [00:10:56] every direction, so um, from the angle that we were [00:11:00] watching this, and this is probably a journalist um, or [00:11:04] a protester just catching this on the [00:11:08] mobile phone, and you can see that, the anti-rial [00:11:11] police forces are everywhere, the number, [00:11:15] some some might say that they outnumber the [00:11:19] actual protesters and despite such [00:11:22] crackdown, we can see protesters still... on the ground trying [00:11:26] to make themselves head and trying to bring [00:11:30] change to their country's educational systems. of course we know that [00:11:34] in France at least this has has turned into a [00:11:37] protest against the government of France, we can we have to wait and see [00:11:41] on that in [00:11:42] Brussels. [00:11:50] well let us get back to the regular course the news now. Saudi Arabia [00:11:54] extends... suspension of flights at the main airport in the capital Riyadh [00:11:58] following series of attacks by the Yemeny armed forces. The Saudi [00:12:02] Civil Aviation Authority says operations at King Khalid International [00:12:05] Airport are suspended pending safety procedures. The [00:12:09] authority did not specify when the operations would resume. This [00:12:13] comes after two consecutive days of retaliatory strikes by the many [00:12:17] armed forces on the airport which left 13 killed and more [00:12:21] than 300 wounded. The attacks come emit escalating. [00:12:25] facilities between Saudi Arabia and the Yemen Armed forces. The Yemen Armed [00:12:29] forces vow to intensify operations until Saudi military [00:12:33] aggression and siege come to an [00:12:35] end. [00:12:39] The Gazan Health Ministry says five Palestinians have been killed over the past [00:12:43] day. This brings the death doll since the war began in October the [00:12:46] 7th 2023 to [00:12:48] 74,382. The health [00:12:52] Ministry also said 18 Palestinians were wonded. during the same [00:12:55] period, bringing the total number of injured to [00:12:58] 175,416. [00:13:02] Since these fire took effect between Hamas and Israel in October [00:13:05] 2025, 1493 [00:13:09] Palestinians have been killed. According to official accounts, [00:13:12] 836 bodies have been recovered from the rouble. [00:13:16] Nearly 22,00 children have been killed during the war. [00:13:20] Meanwile, over 1.4 million people face acute foot [00:13:24] shortages. the international committee for the red cross says [00:13:27] identifying bodies is becoming increasingly [00:13:30] difficult. [00:13:37] mi abu musab, our correspondent in bala is joining me [00:13:40] live right [00:13:41] now. mi over to you, what can you tell us about these statistics and also the latest [00:13:45] news? [00:13:50] well, obviously another blood and genocidal year is ahead [00:13:53] the palestinan people. here in Gaza strip as the Israeli attacks [00:13:57] against the people of Gaza continue to escalate and intensify, we are [00:14:01] talking about a another wave the b strikes and [00:14:04] attacks that was carried out over the past couple of hours, the last one as [00:14:08] you took place in the western side of khan city and [00:14:12] as you're talking about another palestinan civilian who succumbed to his [00:14:16] wants he sustained over the last 24 hours after [00:14:20] the israeled his shift in alma [00:14:23] area and as you usly four palestinian civilians were [00:14:27] also started after the Israeli w play a gathering [00:14:30] the palestinian people in the same [00:14:32] area as so we are still witnessing how the Israeli occubition forces are still [00:14:35] escalaring their earlier attacks against the palestinian people [00:14:39] covering every single corner of gave and definitely more palestinian [00:14:43] civilians are still fallen victim to those as you attacks and on the ground [00:14:47] the Israel attacks continue unabated against the palestinian people [00:14:50] and seemingly the Israeli regime has retained to the [00:14:54] policy of foisting more realities on the ground by continuing as you [00:14:58] know pushing uh as [00:14:59] you know the so-called yellow demication line to the western sides of gas trip [00:15:03] this line is still creeping and this means clearly that more [00:15:07] palestinian territories and more lands are taken by the Israeli forces like [00:15:11] what happened over the past couple of days in abahod and it's [00:15:15] happening right now in the eastern side the city by the way because [00:15:19] these movements as we speak right now the eastern side the city is [00:15:22] under an ongoing ground offensive. out by the Israel cubition [00:15:26] forces and as you are talking about intense as you and mass [00:15:30] shooting towards the pen and people coubled with more artist strikes sorging as you [00:15:34] all the areas taken shirt by [00:15:36] the pesin and people there. and as you know by default more palestinian [00:15:40] families are forced and pushed to leave uh those as [00:15:43] and to be honest the blight the palestinian people [00:15:47] is not over with these relentless attacks against them, we are [00:15:51] talking about another journey of suffering, so starts one [00:15:55] once the Israeli forces attack any area of gus [00:15:58] because there are no spaces available for those families who are [00:16:02] still who are left as you know homeless behind those stacks [00:16:06] because as you know the the entire population of god strip [00:16:10] is now squeezed in less than [00:16:12] 30% of gas's areas because more than [00:16:16] 70% the strips territories [00:16:20] are under the military control the israel incubition forces so the [00:16:24] Israeli regime is now trying to occupy more lands [00:16:28] the patine and people trying to tighten the grip on the population of [00:16:32] gaz strip and this reflects how tragic and catastrophic [00:16:36] the situation is. on the ground, the entire situation and atmosphere is [00:16:39] startling in terms the scale the catastrophe that the [00:16:43] palestinan people are still going through this mind to once again [00:16:47] that the palestinian people are still suffering at all levels particularly when it comes to the [00:16:50] humanit situation for those palestinian people it is becoming [00:16:54] increasingly difficult as you know to obtain what they can [00:16:57] eat or what they can drink a daily [00:17:01] basis because the Israeli regime is still obstructing the flow the humanitarian supplies and [00:17:05] we are talking about increasing reports. saying that the Israel [00:17:08] regime is restricting the flow the [00:17:12] the raw materials used by the people in order to [00:17:16] pitch their makeshift tens inste of parts of gossip and let me remind you once [00:17:20] again that the winter condition is around the corner for the palestinian [00:17:24] people uh this means clearly that another chapter of suffering is [00:17:27] unfolding for those palestinian people and the palestinian [00:17:31] families who are still as you know pushed to [00:17:35] evacuate over and over again and to place over and over again in all [00:17:39] areas of gazstan, thank you so [00:17:42] much, [00:17:48] french students have once again taken to the streets in several cities to [00:17:52] protest the country's education system. protesters rallied outside [00:17:56] schools blocking entrances and nearby streets as they chanted [00:18:00] slogans against the government. they are demanding better condition citing [00:18:03] overcrowded classrooms, heavy workloads, poor quality. [00:18:07] learning material and teacher shortages. the movement [00:18:11] has grown steadily since students began blocking high school entrances on [00:18:14] September 17th. the protest escalated into violence in [00:18:18] several cities following heavy-handed response by security [00:18:22] forces. the government says more than 6,00 people have been [00:18:26] arrested since the unrest began, most them [00:18:29] minors. [00:18:34] press devs yalda amruni says one the reasons behind the [00:18:37] recent protest is that the quality of education in high schools [00:18:41] is very poor in France, she says when students enter university, they [00:18:45] are told that their academic level is below expectations [00:18:49] and that they risk failing their first [00:18:51] year. [00:18:55] teacher used to say that the level the high school is not enough, [00:18:59] because when they are going to the first year university, the teacher [00:19:03] university used to say that the level the first year are not enough and so it's [00:19:07] from the high school degree, so you know the this kind of kids are 16, [00:19:11] 17, 18, they are saying that they are studying at school [00:19:15] and when they go to university, the teachers are not welcome, they [00:19:18] say you don't have the level, you [00:19:19] have to work hard because you have a big chance to fail your first year of [00:19:22] university, there is kind of stress you know, there is kind of panic [00:19:26] in in in the society in France these days especially because the [00:19:30] economic crisis and the kids and the kids are a part of [00:19:33] this of this scary feeling [00:19:35] you know what they will do for them, future if they still if they [00:19:39] do not have the level for to go to the first year university or if [00:19:43] already the teacher university say you do not have the level the first year will be a real [00:19:47] challenge what they're going to the high school if it's not for to have the right the [00:19:51] right level and at the same time they see them school they see there is not enough [00:19:55] book there is lake of teacher lake of of sometime chair [00:19:59] or table when you hear what they say online so the matter [00:20:02] is really here is not a fake news you know high school student have [00:20:06] parents parents are work. they see the situation happening in the school [00:20:10] them kids of course there will be reaction already they say that the 13 [00:20:14] october uh so this week the people [00:20:17] the the the teacher the schools and maybe other part them session [00:20:21] the high school will join the movement with the high school [00:20:25] student so it's already fact that the situation this [00:20:29] matter will go [00:20:29] bigger [00:20:34] tens of thousands of supporters of brazilian president Luis [00:20:37] Inathio Lula de Silva rallied in Sao Paulo ahead the October [00:20:41] the 25th presidential runoff. Protest has won the foreign [00:20:45] interference in the election and vowed to defend democracy against [00:20:49] authoritarian. our correspondent reports [00:20:53] from [00:20:53] Sao Paulo: [00:20:57] tens of thousands of Brazilians gathered on the iconic aveny [00:21:01] Paulista to hear President Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva who, [00:21:04] after losing in the first round the presidential election [00:21:08] began tour across Brazil to encourage his [00:21:11] supporters to convince those who abstained from voting to [00:21:15] vote for him. The plan is to mobilize the 21% [00:21:19] the... population that did not vote and that could secure him a [00:21:23] victory in the runoff on October the 25th, [00:21:27] so as young student who depends on public policy, attend a [00:21:30] public university and was able to study thanks to a government scholarship. i [00:21:34] think that without a strong government, intervening in education, [00:21:38] healthcare and public safety, what are we going to do then? that's why i'm here [00:21:41] on the street to defend and fight for those rights. look, lula [00:21:45] provided food so we'd have something eat, he established the public health. [00:21:50] system and provided medication. Lula brings so many benefits [00:21:54] to those who need them, he doesn't just think about the rich. The [00:21:58] massive turnout in the city's downtown area was [00:22:01] historic, as such a large crowd hadn't been seen [00:22:05] since 2018, when people protested the [00:22:08] parliamentary coup staged by the right against [00:22:12] Lula's then successor, former president Dilma [00:22:15] Rosev. For a large number of Brazilians, winning [00:22:18] this election is a... mother of life and death because they fear [00:22:22] that if wins, he will destroy all the social [00:22:26] gains that the left has promoted over the past 25 [00:22:30] years. We are Brazilians and we don't belong anyone's [00:22:34] backyard. We have [00:22:35] our own wealth. No one is going to come here to exploit us or [00:22:39] take what is ours as if we were a colony. That's [00:22:43] over. We are one the 10 most developed countries in the world and [00:22:47] part we are the bricks alliance. This week. "the students were the first [00:22:51] to take to [00:22:52] the streets across Brazil an effort to reverse the electoral [00:22:55] trend, and they were also the first to denounce foreign [00:22:59] interference on social media platforms. there is an [00:23:02] international network funding far right groups through alternative media and [00:23:06] by financing influencers. two months ago, the US consulate here [00:23:10] in SO Paulo hosted a party for digital influencers. obviously [00:23:14] it wasn't just to share experiences. there is a trend suggesting that the [00:23:18] United States has promoted..." interference by funding influencers to attack the [00:23:22] Lula administration, and that explains Flavio Bolsonaro's comeback in the [00:23:26] polls as well as the outcome the first round. Imperialist [00:23:30] interference in Latin American electoral processes has already been [00:23:33] proven in several countries, and the Brazilian federal police [00:23:37] recently launched investigation into an allegation of foreign [00:23:41] interference accusing the US state department of [00:23:45] diverting $1 million dollars to finance networks on [00:23:49] Brazilian soil. with the aim of destabilizing and [00:23:52] undermining the institutional framework the [00:23:55] judiciary students are trying to [00:23:58] regar even the disadvantage [00:24:02] they even the disadvantage they face against the big tech [00:24:06] companies that control social media platforms run [00:24:10] by oligarks align with the Donald Trump [00:24:13] administration. [00:24:20] And with that we come to the end of this news bulletin, thank you so much for staying with us on [00:24:24] Press [00:24:24] TV. [00:24:47] A bowing 737 max plus. ringes more than [00:24:50] 14,000 ft in less than a minute, it reportedly reaches [00:24:54] almost mark.96. its rutter is said to [00:24:58] be ripped off, and then somehow the aircraft keeps [00:25:02] flying for another hour. according to the story pushed after fly [00:25:06] dobey flight fc-1073, a [00:25:09] passenger described as a plumber who had watched aviation [00:25:13] disaster documentaries, aviation disaster documentaries. yes, you heard [00:25:17] it right, helped pull the aircraft out the dive. Two former [00:25:20] Israeli military personnel were also reportedly among the [00:25:24] passengers who subdued the alleged attacker. It sounds [00:25:28] like a movie plot, doesn't it? The official story says an Omani [00:25:32] co-pilot attacked the captain inside the cockpit and [00:25:35] tried to take control the aircraft, but the details don't stay [00:25:39] still. Early reports described knife and a stabbing. The [00:25:43] later UAE account said the weapon was the aircraft's [00:25:46] crash acts. The alleged Omani co-pilot himself. [00:25:50] remained without an independently verificable public [00:25:53] identity or detailed background. Meanwhile, the Indian [00:25:57] captain Smith Machar was publicly identified and [00:26:01] praised by. and Donald Trump, the pilot became a public [00:26:05] hero, the other remained a largely anonymous figure in the [00:26:08] narrative. Think and the other is the culprit. [00:26:12] Then comes physics: the aircraft was reportedly subjected to [00:26:16] forces of around 3G, despite the 73 max being [00:26:20] rated for 2.5 positive g, it allegedly suffered serious rutter [00:26:24] damage, yet flew for approximately 68 minutes before [00:26:28] landing safely in Saudi Arabia, but why Saudi Arabia [00:26:32] when... was nearer as the airplane was in Jordanian [00:26:35] airspace. Anyways, passengers supposedly managed to [00:26:39] recover the aircraft during the dive. Former pilots have expressed [00:26:43] amazement that the aircraft did not come apart. So how much the story [00:26:47] survives technical scrutiny? Um, coming [00:26:50] back. Then the geopolitical explanation. Iran. [00:26:54] Netanyahu initially said it was too early to say whether Iran was involved. [00:26:58] Trump said Iran might be involved while acknowledging the matter was still being [00:27:01] investigated. but no public evidence establishing an Iranian [00:27:05] role was produced, yet the Iranian connection quickly became central to the [00:27:09] story, and now comes the detail that changes the political [00:27:13] context. On September 29th, less than 24 hours before the [00:27:17] FZ-107-3 incident, Netanyahu released a video [00:27:21] from Telnof Air Force Base, warning that Israel's enemies [00:27:24] had indications they would attempt to attack the country [00:27:28] ahead the October 27th election. He gave no specific. [00:27:32] details, the next day a supposed terror attack takes [00:27:36] place aboard a flight bound for Tel Aviv. Netanhou's [00:27:40] warning suddenly looked prophetic. Daniel Levy, a [00:27:43] former Israeli regime advisor, argued that the incident could [00:27:47] push politically damaging issues out the headlines and [00:27:51] replace them with narrative focus on Iran. Actually, the chronology [00:27:54] goes back further: three days before the flight on September [00:27:58] 27th, Netanyahu made an unscheduled visit to Dubai [00:28:02] and met UAE President Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayid An Nahiyan [00:28:05] alongside senior military and Intelligence officials a [00:28:09] source told Prest TV that the operation was discussed and [00:28:13] finalized during that visit to create an Iranian connection and [00:28:16] generate a pretext for renewed confrontation with Tehran. [00:28:20] The operation was also intended to draw Trump into another [00:28:24] confrontation with Iran and helped Netanyahu politically ahead the [00:28:28] election. You might be thinking that the conflicting accounts suggest fall. [00:28:32] false flag, not something new, you know the history of false flags. For [00:28:36] FZ-1073, it seems the evidence is being fitted into [00:28:40] a story that had already been written, because the conclusions are [00:28:44] arriving before the [00:28:45] proof. [00:28:55] At the crater of Western Civilization, US Secretary of State, [00:28:59] Marco Rubio tells a familiar story. Persians as [00:29:03] villains, Athenians as heroes, but is that [00:29:06] history or just Washington's preferred [00:29:09] vision? Persians plundered the temples, [00:29:13] they burned the shrines, they raised the acropolis to the ground. Case [00:29:17] closed, not so fast, history has habit of [00:29:20] talking back. Alexander, [00:29:24] he had great respect for the Persian culture, a little inconvenient [00:29:28] for narrative that reduces Persia to an army of barbarians. [00:29:32] and Oscar-winning filmmaker, Oliver Stone as a message for those [00:29:36] lecturing the world its past. I think westerners don't understand [00:29:40] completely the history of Iran and Persia. I would [00:29:44] suggest this book is is a great place to [00:29:46] start. [00:29:52] Washington may think it can dictate the narrative, but history as outlasted [00:29:56] that empires before, and it has a warning for those who think they can [00:29:59] rewrite it. You cannot change history. are inevitable [00:30:03] and americans seems are inevitable and americans seem to [00:30:07] believe that they can change that. this is insanity, this is the [00:30:11] defeats us every [00:30:12] time. [00:30:23] será que las elecciones intermedias del próximo could the midterm [00:30:27] elections in November in the United States mark Donald [00:30:31] Trump's waterloop.
