Iran has frequently warned all vessels. and oil tankers [00:01:30] against attempting illegal transit roots through the [00:01:33] of hormos straight, advising [00:01:34] of them not to rely on the US army support. [00:01:38] it is also announced time and again that only the roots approved by [00:01:41] Iranian forces are safe for hormones transit [00:01:45] for hormones [00:01:46] transit. [00:01:50] of expert saib shah says [00:01:53] of Iran's ability to control the straight of hormos proves that it will not allow the US to [00:01:56] impose its hegemony over any part [00:01:59] of of the Persian Gulf. or west [00:02:03] in Asia, the the the sinking [00:02:07] of the two tankers today or and four [00:02:11] tankers yesterday, [00:02:13] of 15 of other tankers days before, that in the state [00:02:17] of whether by mines [00:02:19] in or [00:02:20] in other in missiles [00:02:22] of or or other kind of explosions confirm [00:02:26] that Iran will not allow the United States of America to impose. [00:02:30] its hegemony [00:02:31] in over the single inch [00:02:34] of of the west ages water, not just the gulf or the straight of [00:02:37] hormos, that confirms Iran's [00:02:40] force are in control, total control [00:02:43] of the strate of hormos, all [00:02:45] of the of statements that Trump were issuing about the return of [00:02:49] navigation in the street of of hormos to [00:02:53] its normal states as before their criminal [00:02:58] of war on Iran and the volume [00:03:00] he is stating all the time that is the carried by super [00:03:04] oil tankers exceed [00:03:06] of 20 million barrels per day, that's all prove lies [00:03:10] and trump's always sending all [00:03:13] of these conflicting messages and [00:03:17] of signals about the traffic of of oil in the [00:03:21] straight of hormos to play the markets or against [00:03:25] of diplomacy with Iran or against intensifying the [00:03:29] comp with Iran since he and the zionist [00:03:33] of entity are strategically [00:03:35] defeated, [00:03:41] of [00:03:42] of [00:03:47] of [00:03:48] of hello and welcome to Press TV's news [00:03:52] review. [00:03:53] of Iran's foreign [00:03:54] of ministry spokesperson says the straight of hormos will not reopen [00:03:58] de until the US lifts its blockade. and meets Tehran's demand stressing [00:04:01] that the ball is now in Washington's court. At his weekly press briefing, [00:04:05] Ismail Barroy said the US and Israel responsible for the [00:04:08] disruption in the straight of Hormus. He stressed that Washington must meet [00:04:12] Iran's demands before any diplomatic process can move [00:04:16] forward. Bailey also criticized US pressure on Iran [00:04:20] at international forum saying Washington relies [00:04:23] of on of force rather than diplomacy to impose its demands. [00:04:27] He added that the US records over the past two years is... made Tehran [00:04:30] cautious about any new diplomatic process, addressing [00:04:34] the possibility of renewed aggression. Bailey said the war against Iran is [00:04:38] already underweight with the blockade forming part of it. He stressed that Iran [00:04:42] remains prepared for all [00:04:44] of possible scenarios. He also warn that Donald Trump's threats to attack Iran's remaining [00:04:48] nuclear facility pos serious [00:04:51] of threat to the [00:04:53] in a international non-proliferation [00:04:54] regime. [00:04:59] We're joining us on. This edition [00:05:00] of the news review [00:05:01] of we of have in podcaster and journalist [00:05:03] Esha Krishna Swami is joining us from Bangalore, also we have academic research [00:05:07] and [00:05:07] of author Reza Vedadi joining us from Muscat. Welcome to the [00:05:11] program to both of you. Let's start off with Mr. Krishna Swami, [00:05:14] of course, so much to unpack here, but uh, in recent [00:05:18] comments coming from the foreign ministry spokesperson, uh, the [00:05:22] ball is now in Washington's court. [00:05:26] Absolutely. I mean, if Washington could [00:05:30] actually uh, push past the [00:05:34] blockade on the straight of Hormus, they already would have, and if they could [00:05:38] have like done more damage to Iranian infrastructure, they would [00:05:41] have. and it also show like Friday I heard [00:05:45] something really interesting that the first time in 65 years the US [00:05:49] army is doing drills on mass casual events, I do [00:05:53] drills on bearing over 2, do drills on bearing over [00:05:57] 2,400 soldiers, so they themselves are not [00:06:00] very optimistic about their chances against a protracted [00:06:04] war, that is stopping them from that is stopping [00:06:08] them from removing the blockade in Iran is Trump. [00:06:12] bravado and ego about the midterm and [00:06:16] so I hope that the midterm results hurt him [00:06:20] enough to remove the bravado and ego because that is literally the only [00:06:24] thing um Pete Hags who was a big proponent the [00:06:28] war with Iran has been firing many generals [00:06:31] etc so it has not gone as it's planned [00:06:34] and the ball is 100% in Washington's court and all they [00:06:38] do have is having to move their navy carriers from the uh [00:06:42] Arabic uh sea down to Diego Garcia [00:06:46] and lot the conflict will ease up automatically if they do [00:06:50] that, but they're refusing to do that. [00:06:53] Rezavid Adi: Iran uh, according to the recent [00:06:57] comments uh by the foreign ministry spokesperson has conved its [00:07:00] demands to the US through mediators, but at the same time [00:07:04] Mr. Bai was acknowledging uh even uh alluding [00:07:07] to the uh the pressure that the US has put on Iran in international [00:07:11] forums. that uh the US is not committed [00:07:15] to diplomacy, do [00:07:17] you see it in that light as well? well, also [00:07:21] there's news that Iran has sent a either delegate or [00:07:25] delegation to Qatar to try to find [00:07:28] a possible way forward with the seven [00:07:31] point plan that Iran has requested. whatever any these [00:07:35] cases are, the facts on the ground is that the straight [00:07:39] of hormos was open before - end of February when [00:07:43] they attacked and killed the Iranian leader, the Iranian children, [00:07:47] other Iranian citizen and infrastructure. The only reason it's closed [00:07:51] is because Iran, rather than developing nuclear weapon and [00:07:55] try to use that against his enemies, is utilizing the straight of [00:07:59] hormos, straight of hormos is part of its own territory, it's permitted to do [00:08:03] that under all international moral and acts [00:08:07] of war, and it's the only way unfortunately the rest the [00:08:10] world has to wake up. to the uh empire, [00:08:14] to the to the oppressive empire of America, because for [00:08:18] 47 years the world kind of assisted or turned [00:08:21] away from America putting sanctions on Iran, killing [00:08:25] Iranian citizens through lack of med access to medicine and [00:08:28] infrastructure, so forth, so now the world has to understand that if [00:08:32] Iran is going to have a blockade around it, it's going to [00:08:36] suffer sanctions and so forth, the rest the world either suffers [00:08:39] with Iran in the sense that you know all the... prices of going up, [00:08:43] lack of commodities, or that the rest the world also needs to stand up, and that's [00:08:47] what we're seeing [00:08:48] in Europe, and that's why Europe is burning [00:08:52] right now, literally burning because the acts the United [00:08:55] States. Miss Krishna Swami, Iran has time and again said [00:08:59] that the US and Israel are responsible for the [00:09:02] disruptions in the straight of hormos, and in fact [00:09:06] it is uh the US Israeli alliance [00:09:10] that is the source of insecurity. in the Persian Gulf, am I [00:09:14] right? They are absolutely [00:09:17] right, because the US and the Israel not only started [00:09:21] hostilities this year, but they started it last year, [00:09:25] and Iran has every right to control its water way, [00:09:29] like the US, even though the US didn't have a right to control the Panama [00:09:32] Canal, they controlled it for over 100 years. Iraan [00:09:36] definitely has the right to control the waterway within the [00:09:40] straight of Hormus and... and actually Iran had [00:09:44] permitted free travel since 1979 and the only thing [00:09:47] that's different is US Israel air strikes that have been [00:09:51] indiscriminate, they've been hitting schools, hospitals, civilian [00:09:54] infrastructures, in fact they've been targeting them in overall like [00:09:58] weapons depot, so you know that their purpose is to call [00:10:02] cause maximum civilian destruction in hopes of regime change, and then [00:10:06] they have no military objective, meanwhile on the Iran side, [00:10:10] Iran has been hitting the al Udaid. [00:10:14] in UAE and the NSA base in Bahrain [00:10:17] which has has given logistical hardships because the [00:10:21] US now needs to go all the way down south to diego Garcia. to [00:10:25] refuel, so just the difference in the con conduct of [00:10:28] how precisely Iran has been in hitting military [00:10:32] targets versus how indiscriminate US Israeli regimes have been [00:10:36] in hitting civilian targets shows that they are 100% [00:10:40] responsible for any consequences that has been caused and [00:10:44] Iran has every right to put any kind of pressure they want [00:10:48] to stop this illegal and illegal war against every [00:10:52] UN convention of law and immoral. [00:10:55] immoral war against every [00:10:58] single convention of morality and Iran has every [00:11:02] right to do that. Reza Vedadi, another comment that's been echoed [00:11:06] uh many times over by Iranian officials is that Tehran will not [00:11:10] tolerate uh the use of neighboring countries [00:11:12] territory uh in aggression against [00:11:16] Iran allowing um another country to [00:11:19] use a country's soil to launch [00:11:23] attack a third party, that's in contravention of [00:11:27] international law, but responding to those [00:11:30] attacks, that's not, so if you [00:11:34] remember in the 60s under president Kennedy, [00:11:38] the Russians had the Soviets had placed [00:11:42] nuclear missiles on Cuba and the US [00:11:46] had threatened not just the Soviet, but [00:11:49] Cubans with nuclear war if those missiles were not [00:11:53] removed, so now... have the United States utilizing [00:11:57] bases that most most them have been destroyed around Iran, [00:12:00] but utilizing bases in the uh in the countries that are [00:12:04] neighboring Iran, and the countries and and the United [00:12:08] States and Europeans are upset if Iran defends itself, but then we are [00:12:12] a stage in human history where there is no international [00:12:16] law, it's only the law the jungle, and if you [00:12:19] remember the foreign minister of EU stated [00:12:23] this year [00:12:23] or two ago [00:12:24] that the... world outside of Europe, EU is a jungle and inside is a [00:12:28] garden, so if the world is a jungle, then who survives in the jungle, the one [00:12:32] who's strong, and Iran has to demonstrate that its capabilities, and I think [00:12:36] that's why the Saudis and the turks and the Pakistanis went to Iran a few days [00:12:40] ago, but these countries are kind of stuck a, but these [00:12:43] countries are kind of stuck a between rock and a hard place, [00:12:47] once they're so attached to the United States leadership, that they're either too [00:12:51] afraid or just don't have the courage, or maybe in some ways they sup [00:12:55] the war on Iran, any case, whatever the case is, whatever the reasons [00:12:59] why [00:12:59] they allow their countries to be used against Iran, they have to know that they will be [00:13:03] repercussions and those repercussions will be so vast that it could either [00:13:07] cause regime change or total destruction the infrastructures [00:13:10] their countries. All right, we're going to leave it there. Thanks to my guests [00:13:14] esha Krishna Swami, podcaster and journalist, speaking [00:13:17] to us from Bangalore, and also thanks to academic research and author re [00:13:21] joining us from Muscat. That's up for this today. of [00:13:25] pressv's news review, but stick around, we got plenty more to [00:13:28] come. [00:13:41] moving on, international banking giant goldman saxs has raised its oil [00:13:45] price forecast warning that brent crew could search to [00:13:48] $140 a barrel in 2027 if the straight of hormos [00:13:52] remains closed. goldman sacks said prices could... surge to that [00:13:55] level, if oil output across the Persian Golf remains 3.5 [00:13:59] million barrels per day below its 2025 average, the warning comes [00:14:03] in a continued uncertainty over the US, Israeli war on Iran and the [00:14:07] impact on the global energy supplies. Since the aggression [00:14:10] began in February and Iran's subsequent closure the straight of hormo's [00:14:14] oil prices have climbed sharply before the closure more than fifth [00:14:18] the world's oil and gas supplies passed through the strategic [00:14:22] waterway. [00:14:27] Families of Iranians killed during the 12-day war have taken their demands [00:14:31] uh for justice to a court room in Tehran the first public hearing has [00:14:35] opened at branch 55 of Tehran's court for international [00:14:39] affairs where 130 lawsuits are seeking [00:14:42] compensation for the United States from the United States and Israel [00:14:45] 55 the cases concerned victims the Israeli attack on eving prison [00:14:49] which Iranian authorities say killed 71 people. Gisumi shahani [00:14:53] reports. [00:14:57] many lives lost, families left grieving, and now a [00:15:01] courtroom filled with demands for justice. months after an [00:15:05] Israeli air strike devastated parts of Tehran's even prison, [00:15:08] families the marters are seeking compensation and legal [00:15:12] accountability. [00:15:16] the first public [00:15:18] Today marks hearing a legal proceedings concerning the attack on Evan [00:15:21] Prison. We are representing the families of victims the... day [00:15:25] war a total of 130 lawsuits, [00:15:28] 55 of which specifically concern the attack on Evan [00:15:32] Prison. The first public hearing is taking place at [00:15:36] branch 55 of According to authorities, 71 [00:15:40] people were killed in that [00:15:41] strike. [00:15:46] Evain prison is a civilian facility, and targeting it with fighter [00:15:50] jets constitutes violation of international law, [00:15:53] particularly international humanitarian law. Such attacks amount to [00:15:57] war crimes and other serious violations of international [00:16:00] law. Today, the families are asking the court to examine [00:16:04] the evidence and determine legal responsib. [00:16:37] "We have been waiting for this hearing for very long time because we want justice [00:16:41] for those who lost their lives and for their families. We want the law to be [00:16:45] upheld, and we want those responsible for these crimes to be held [00:16:49] accountable. The destruction of civilian facilities and the [00:16:53] loss of lives have raised serious questions under [00:16:56] international humanitarian law. [00:17:00] Prisons are civilian facilities and are protected under [00:17:04] international humanitarian law. Deliberately targeting them. In [00:17:07] violation of that protection constitutes a war [00:17:11] crime. Unfortunately, even the prison's medical center was [00:17:14] struck during the attack. That is why these legal proceedings are so [00:17:18] important. Some of our most experienced lawyers are handling this [00:17:22] case, and the court's eventual ruling could be a significant [00:17:25] step toward securing justice for the victims and their [00:17:29] families. The lawyers say the lawsuits are intended not only [00:17:33] to secure compensation, but to establish legal [00:17:36] record the. taxs and their consequences. For [00:17:40] these families, no courts ruling can bring back their loved ones, but [00:17:44] they hope that these proceedings will open new avenues and their pursuit of [00:17:47] justice. Gisum shahmadi Press TV, [00:17:50] Tehran. [00:17:54] Iranian foreign ministerchi has arrived ashhrabad, the capital of [00:17:58] Turkmenistan for an official visit. [00:18:01] Sch scheduled talks with senior Turkmen officials, Iran says it seeks to [00:18:04] enhance bilateral cooperation in different. sectors including [00:18:08] energy. Adolchi last visited Turkmenistan in June [00:18:12] 2025 when he held talks with his Turkmen Counterpart, [00:18:16] Rashid [00:18:16] Meridolf. [00:18:22] And with US Midterms, just a day away candidates are making their final push [00:18:25] to win over [00:18:26] voters. [00:18:30] My focus has never wavered. I have been clear about what our [00:18:34] responsibilities are, so rather than focus. a distraction [00:18:38] about who said what to whom, where they went. I've been [00:18:41] consistent. I want to get money out of politics. [00:18:45] I want to put money back in pockets. I want medicare for [00:18:49] all. I want to take on the heinous price of gas, the ridiculous [00:18:53] price of groceries. The fact that people in the richest, most powerful country in the world cannot see [00:18:56] doctor. The notion that we should continue to breathe unclean air [00:19:00] or unclean water. That has been the focus of this campaign since April of [00:19:04] 2025 when we kicked it off. It's what we said in. rooms across the [00:19:08] state, 700 public events, 120 different cities now, it's what i've [00:19:12] said in every interview with probably every single one of [00:19:14] you right, it's [00:19:15] what i said on tv, it's [00:19:16] what i said, i was trying [00:19:17] to fall asleep at night, it is the goal of this campaign, it's tough, you all [00:19:21] know it's tough right now and and we can really [00:19:24] change [00:19:25] the this country for the better, it's not just this election right [00:19:29] here, it's about all across united states you're seeing people uh [00:19:33] that are sick and tired of you the billionaires getting what they want [00:19:37] while most of us have to pick up the [00:19:38] scraps. [00:19:42] Democratic and Republican candidates traded sharp attacks during debates [00:19:46] and campaign rallies with the war on Iran and its economic consequences [00:19:50] in the US among the key issues. According to the latest survey, democrats continue to hold [00:19:54] an edge over Republicans. However, several closely [00:19:58] contested senate races could determine which party takes control of [00:20:01] Congress. Democrats need to flip four Republican held [00:20:05] seats to gain control. the senate while defending [00:20:09] their own seats in key states such as Michigan, Georgia and New [00:20:13] Hampshire, several states including Texas and California are seeking, or [00:20:17] rather seeing closely contested house races with competitive [00:20:21] contests taking place across the [00:20:23] country. [00:20:27] The Israeli military has carried out fresh deadly strikes on the [00:20:31] gauza strip and yet another violation of a cease fire the regime signed with Hamas [00:20:35] year ago. Drone attacks. to central and southern parts the [00:20:39] coastal strip, killing three and injuring four others. Israeli [00:20:42] strikes have been killing gazens, many them children almost a daily [00:20:46] basis since the genocide began the years ago on attack [00:20:50] a Mawasi area of khanyudes killed nine Palestinians, one the [00:20:54] victims was four-year-old boy and five were [00:20:57] policemen. The Israeli genocide in Gaza has killed over [00:21:01] 74,500 people since October 2023, at least [00:21:04] 1500 them were killed since [00:21:07] the uh cease fire of last [00:21:11] year. We [00:21:15] hearlier talk to journalists and political commentators said Mosanabus, he said Israel's [00:21:19] actions. Gaza are justified by rabbinical [00:21:22] endorsements of violence as Jewish supremacist views have [00:21:26] been openly expressed by the regime's criminal prime minister and [00:21:30] extremist [00:21:31] officials. [00:21:35] They have rubinical and religious sanctioning of [00:21:39] murder basically, and they are [00:21:42] fundamentally sick, not just psychotic because that almost lets them [00:21:46] off the hook, they willfully, because that almost lets them off the hook, they will. [00:21:50] willfully uh evil, that's really the only way I can [00:21:54] describe it, and I supposed to zionism, because zionism [00:21:58] isn't even something they necessarily push, isn't even something they [00:22:01] necessarily push or plug anymore, they are Jewish supremacist, ben gabers [00:22:05] has said it, Nahu said it, they all subscribe to a Jewish [00:22:09] state which is hellbent on ethnic cleansing [00:22:12] and wiping [00:22:13] out Palestinians by Howko Crook, can you imagine during the [00:22:17] truce, during a ceasefire uh "this [00:22:20] entity has managed to injure at least [00:22:23] 500 to 300, 5,200 uh [00:22:26] Palestinians, they've killed reportedly [00:22:30] 1080, and those are very conservative estimates by because I [00:22:33] always look at the the figures that are given by uh these [00:22:37] official agencies has been not indicative the [00:22:40] reality, you can tell that just from the fact that people are still talking of only [00:22:44] 75,000 people having been killed since the start of this conflict, [00:22:48] it's well near half million." yet we're still talking about these nonsense [00:22:52] figures, so the the crimes are war [00:22:55] crimes, they are continuing the genocide, there is no truth, there [00:22:59] is no cease fire, there is no solution, no two state [00:23:03] solution, no greater Israel [00:23:05] solution, and [00:23:09] that's wrap for now, but uh, stick around, we've got plenty more to come here on Press [00:23:12] TV, see you soon, [00:23:13] everybody.

[00:24:45] Et proclamions notre foi dans les droits fondamentaux l'homme et nous nous [00:24:48] engageons. [00:25:24] And now let's hear what President Trump has to say about oil [00:25:28] prices. I never say this, because and watch they'll cut [00:25:32] all of this stuff out and they'll leave the little sentence at it. Our [00:25:36] country is making more money than it's ever [00:25:39] made because the fact that oil is so high. Now they're going to [00:25:43] say, isn't it terrible? He talked about [00:25:47] the fact that he doesn't care about. care more about the [00:25:51] little person than i care about the care more about the little person than i care about [00:25:55] the we're winning we're [00:25:57] winning we're winning we're [00:26:00] winning [00:26:56] teaching anywhere in the world shares a common language, a love [00:27:00] beyond duty and heart that beats for the fate of [00:27:04] children. when you are teacher, every morning you leave all your [00:27:07] personal pain behind the classroom door to create [00:27:11] safe world for other people's children. on February [00:27:15] 28th, 2026, in Iran a school in Minab was [00:27:18] experiencing its usual calm. Fatima [00:27:22] Shahdadi, an energetic sports coach who saw the world through the [00:27:26] joyful eyes of her students and Faride Mokhtari, [00:27:29] dignified and kind teacher were present in. admits the [00:27:32] children's bustling chatter, but this innocent routine [00:27:36] suddenly turned into dust and ashes with the terrifying roar of [00:27:40] missiles, deadly strikes that targeted civilians and educational [00:27:44] centers during military attacks by Israel and the United States, [00:27:48] collapsing the school's roof over the children and [00:27:51] teachers. At the moment the ground shook beneath their [00:27:55] feed and rubble and smoke filled the air, survival instinct dictated [00:27:58] that everyone should look for escape route to save their... own [00:28:02] lives, but for Fatima and Faid, time stood still a [00:28:06] different way. In those seconds of terror and screams, only one [00:28:10] image was etched in the minds these women, the [00:28:13] children. They ran toward the center the fire and [00:28:17] danger. Amit the cries of children trapped alone in the flames, [00:28:21] they did not survive to return to their classrooms. The [00:28:24] next day, both teachers lost their lives right there in the school's [00:28:28] courtyard and hallways giving everything to save the children. [00:28:32] and of others. Behind the names [00:28:36] these two teachers lay two lives filled with hope and [00:28:40] attachment, women who lived like millions of others, yet [00:28:43] gave meaning to self-sacrifice in the face of tragedy. Days [00:28:47] after the disaster, among fida's few remaining keepsaks, a [00:28:51] short will was found alongside pair of earrings she had given [00:28:55] to her mother before the incident, as if her heart sense this [00:28:58] journey had no return. Fatima's family to remembers. [00:29:02] with grand dreams and heart overflowing with dedication to [00:29:06] serve, today no trace remains these classrooms or the [00:29:10] laughter filled courtyard, yet the names of Fatima Shahdadi, [00:29:14] Faride Mokhtari and dozens of other teachers who fell [00:29:17] victim to these devastating attacks have become symbols of [00:29:21] humanity's endurance against the violence of war, [00:29:25] educators who embrace death to gift their students the right to [00:29:29] live and learn. [00:30:03] Good evening, welcome to spotlight here on Press TV. I am [00:30:07] Bahman. As diplomatic efforts continue to avert another [00:30:10] military confrontation between Iran and the United States, [00:30:14] tensions remain dangerously high with Tehran warning that any [00:30:18] renewed American aggression could trigger a conflict extend [00:30:22] extending far beyond West Asia. Iranian and Qatari [00:30:25] officials have been engaging intensive consultations in Doha with a [00:30:29] proposed two-day arrangement to reopen the straight. [00:30:32] the for moves emerging as a potential breakthrough, yet
