[00:00:04] Latest figures show that this year's midterm elections have set a new
[00:00:08] record for campaign spending
[00:00:12] of in a US election of cycle
[00:00:16] and French students resume blocking schools throughout the country after
[00:00:20] their
[00:00:21] of of return from two-week
[00:00:22] holiday.
[00:00:26] of
[00:00:38] of early good evening
[00:00:42] fromray and this is press tv news. the
[00:00:46] deputy secretary of Iran Supreme National Security Council
[00:00:50] is emphasized that arran will
[00:00:52] of make no compromise in defending its
[00:00:54] of sovereignty of and national security. Ali made the remarks during
[00:00:58] talks with China's foreign stay in Beijing, he discussed the
[00:01:02] consequences
[00:01:02] of the US Israel aggression against Iran, Teran's diplomatic
[00:01:06] initiatives to end the war as well as regional security.
[00:01:10] The senior security official described the attacks on Iran and the
[00:01:14] assassination
[00:01:14] of the leader
[00:01:15] of the Islamic Revolution and his
[00:01:17] of family as unforgettable crimes. He noted that these are war
[00:01:21] crimes that must
[00:01:22] of not be allowed to be committed ever again. Meanwile,
[00:01:26] in Oman Sultan is also visiting Beijing, according to Almayadin.
[00:01:30] The trilateral talks involving
[00:01:32] of Iran, Oman and China
[00:01:33] in are on the way, focusing on Oman's renewed mediation between Tehwan
[00:01:37] and Washington to be backed by Chinese economic and
[00:01:41] security
[00:01:42] of guarantees. Iran's
[00:01:46] foreign ministry spokesperson says the straight of hermus will not
[00:01:49] reopen until the US lifts its blockade and meets
[00:01:53] Teran's demand stressing
[00:01:54] that the ball is now in
[00:01:56] of Washington's court.
[00:02:00] of Implementing these demands is
[00:02:02] of essential of to restoring regional security. You cannot express concern over
[00:02:06] security in the straight of Hormus
[00:02:07] of while continuing to impose economic blockade on Iran, disregarding the
[00:02:11] commitments made under the Islamabad understanding, and expecting Terran to
[00:02:15] make unilateral concessions. Such a
[00:02:17] of one-sided arrangement would clearly be unsustainable. Iran's insistance that its
[00:02:21] demands be met first is therefore not merely about advancing its own national
[00:02:25] interests. It is
[00:02:26] a reasonable approach aimed at helping restore security
[00:02:29] of in the straight. hormas and across the persian gulf
[00:02:31] of region
[00:02:35] at his weekly press briefing said the US and Israel are
[00:02:38] responsible for the disruption in the straight of
[00:02:42] of hormos. He also rejected the possibility of transferring Iran's enrich
[00:02:46] uranium abroad saying Tehron would not agree to such
[00:02:49] in move, but I acknowledged that the question of withdrawal from the NPT is
[00:02:53] the genuine issue under discussion, but emphasized that at the decision
[00:02:57] making level Iran remains a the treaty and considers
[00:03:01] itself bound by its commitments addressing the possibility
[00:03:05] of renewed aggression by guy said the war against Iran is
[00:03:08] in already on the way with the blockade forming a part of it, he stressed
[00:03:12] that Iran remains prepared for all possible
[00:03:15] scenarios.
[00:03:21] We were earlier joined by Rasa Vedadi, academic researcher and
[00:03:25] author who says the disruption in the straight of hormos is a
[00:03:28] consequence
[00:03:29] of the US Israel aggression
[00:03:31] of against theran with the whole world now suffering from the
[00:03:33] fallout,
[00:03:37] the straight of hormos was open before end of
[00:03:41] February when they attacked and killed the Iranian
[00:03:44] of leader, the Iranian children, other Iranian citizen and infrastructure,
[00:03:48] the only
[00:03:49] of reason it's closed is because Iran rather than developing nuclear
[00:03:53] weapon and try to use that against his enemies is
[00:03:57] of utilizing the straight of hormos, straight of hormos is of his own territory, it's
[00:04:01] permitted to do that under all international moral
[00:04:04] and acts of war, and it's the
[00:04:07] in only way unfortunately the rest
[00:04:09] of the world has to wake up to the
[00:04:12] empire,
[00:04:13] of to the to the oppressive empire of America, because
[00:04:17] for 47 years the world kind of assisted or turned
[00:04:20] away from America putting sanctions on Iran, killing
[00:04:23] Iranian citizens through lack of
[00:04:25] a med access to medicine and infrastructure so forth, so now the world
[00:04:29] has to... understand that if Iran is going to have a
[00:04:33] blockade around it, it's going to suffer sanctions and so forth, the rest
[00:04:36] of the world either suffers with Iran in the sense that
[00:04:40] you know all the prices are going up, lack of commodities, or that the rest
[00:04:44] of the world also needs to stand up, and that's what we're seeing in Europe, and that's
[00:04:48] why Europe is burning right now,
[00:04:51] literally burning because
[00:04:53] of the acts
[00:04:53] of the United
[00:04:54] States,
[00:04:58] international banking giant goldman. Zax has raised its oil
[00:05:01] price forecast warning that Brent Crude could search
[00:05:04] to $140 a barrel in 2027 if
[00:05:08] the straight of hormos remains closed. Goldman Sacks said prices.
[00:05:12] could surge to that level if oil output across the Persian gulf
[00:05:16] remains 3.5 million barrels per day below its
[00:05:20] 225 average. The warning comes in continued
[00:05:23] uncertainty the US-Israely war on Iran and the impact
[00:05:27] on global energy supplies. Since the aggression began in February
[00:05:31] and Iran's subsequent closure the straight of hormos oil prices
[00:05:35] have climbed sharply before the closure more than fifth the world's
[00:05:39] oil and gas supplies passed through the strategy.
[00:05:42] waterway, families
[00:05:46] of Iranians killed during the 12 day war have taken their demands for
[00:05:50] justice to a courtroom in Tehran. The first public hearing has
[00:05:54] opened at branch 55 of Teran's court for international
[00:05:58] affairs where 130 lawsuits are seeking
[00:06:01] compensation from the US and Israel. 55 the
[00:06:05] cases concerned victims the Israely attack a vin prison which
[00:06:09] Iranian authorities say killed 71.
[00:06:36] Today marks the first public hearing a legal proceedings
[00:06:39] concerning the attack on Evan prison. We are
[00:06:43] representing the families of victims the 12-day war a total of
[00:06:47] 130 lawsuits, 55 of which specifically
[00:06:50] concern the attack on Evan prison. The first
[00:06:54] public hearing is taking place at branch 55 of Terron's
[00:06:58] court for international affairs. According to authorities,
[00:07:02] 71 people were killed in that
[00:07:04] strike. Evan prison is a civilian
[00:07:08] facility and targeting it with fighter jets constitutes
[00:07:11] violation of. international law, particularly international
[00:07:15] humanitarian law, such attacks amount to war crimes and
[00:07:18] other serious violations of international law, today the
[00:07:22] families are asking the court, legal
[00:07:24] responsibility, legal
[00:07:27] responsibility, my mother,
[00:07:31] my brothers and sisters and
[00:07:33] i have been going through incredibly difficult time emotionally, life
[00:07:36] without our father has been extremely hard, our lives have changed
[00:07:40] forever,
[00:08:12] and facilities and the loss of lives have raised serious
[00:08:16] questions under international humanitarian
[00:08:18] law. prisons are civilian
[00:08:22] facilities and are protected under international humanitarian
[00:08:25] law. deliberately targeting them in violation of that
[00:08:28] protection constitutes a war crime.
[00:08:32] unfortunately, even the prison's medical center was struck during the
[00:08:35] attack. that is why these legal proceedings are so important.
[00:08:39] some of our most experienced lawyers are handling this case. and the court
[00:08:43] eventual ruling could be a significant step towards securing
[00:08:47] justice for the victims and their families. the lawyers say the
[00:08:51] lawsuits are intended not only to secure compensation, but
[00:08:55] to establish legal record the attacks and their
[00:08:58] consequences. for these families, no court ruling can bring
[00:09:02] back their loved ones, but they hope that these proceedings will open new
[00:09:06] avenues and their pursuit of justice. gisum shahmadi

[00:09:13] Iran and Turkmenistan stressed developing cooperation in various
[00:09:17] areas of mutual interest in a meeting ashkabad foreign minister
[00:09:21] Abasar Ak counterpart Rashid Meradoff
[00:09:25] reviewed the latest state of relations between the two countries
[00:09:28] both emphasized leveraging capacities to develop cooperation
[00:09:32] in various the historical ties between the two nations that the historical
[00:09:36] ties between the two nations serve as the foundation for
[00:09:40] advancing relations. also loaded expanding ties with
[00:09:44] Iran in commercial, political and cultural fields,
[00:09:47] bilateral relations, regional and international developments were also
[00:09:51] among the main topics of
[00:09:52] discussion.
[00:09:59] With the US mid-term elections, just a day away candidates are making the
[00:10:03] final push to win over
[00:10:06] voters.
[00:10:10] My focus has never wavered. I have been clear about what our
[00:10:14] responsibilities are, so rather than focus a distraction
[00:10:18] about who said what to whom, where they went, I've been
[00:10:21] consistent, I want to get money out of politics.
[00:10:25] "I want to put money out of politics. I want to put money back in
[00:10:29] pockets. I want medicare for the gas, the ridiculous price of
[00:10:32] groceries. The fact that people in the richest, most powerful country in the world cannot see
[00:10:36] doctor. The notion that we should continue to breathe unclean air
[00:10:40] or unclean water. That has been the focus of this campaign since April of
[00:10:43] 2025 when we kicked it off. It's what we said in rooms across the
[00:10:47] state, 700 public events, 120 different cities now. It's what
[00:10:51] I've said in every interview with probably every single one of you, right? It's..." I said on
[00:10:55] TV, it's what I said,
[00:10:56] I was trying to fall asleep at night. It is the goal of this campaign. It's tough,
[00:11:00] you all know, it's tough right now, and and we can really
[00:11:04] change
[00:11:05] the this country for the better. It's not just this election right
[00:11:08] here, it's about all across United States, you're seeing people uh
[00:11:12] that are sick and tired of millionaires getting what they want, while
[00:11:16] the rest of us have to pick up the
[00:11:18] scraps.
[00:11:21] Democratic and Republican candidates traded sharp attacks to...
[00:11:25] debates and campaign rallies with the war on Iran and its economic
[00:11:29] consequences in the US among the key issues. According to the
[00:11:32] later survey, democrats continue to hold the netge over the
[00:11:36] Republicans. However, several closely contested senate
[00:11:39] races could determine which party takes control the congress.
[00:11:43] Democrats need to flip four Republican eld seats to gain control
[00:11:47] the Senate while defending their own seats in key states such as
[00:11:51] Michigan, Georgia and New Hampshire. Several states include
[00:11:55] Texas and California are seeing closely contested house
[00:11:58] races with competitive contest taking place across the
[00:12:02] country. The battle
[00:12:06] for control the Congress is becoming a contest of
[00:12:09] unprecedented financial proportions with wealthy donors
[00:12:13] and powerful lobbying networks pouring millions into key
[00:12:16] races. Among the biggest players is the pro Israel lobby whose
[00:12:20] growing role in campaign financing is raising questions about
[00:12:24] money. political influence and the future the US policy towards
[00:12:28] Israel.
[00:12:32] the 2026 US mid-term elections are the most expensive in
[00:12:36] American history, with campaign spending exceeding even that of recent
[00:12:39] presidential elections, billions of dollars are pouring into congressional
[00:12:43] races, but behind the unprecedented spending battle is another powerful
[00:12:47] force, wealthy donors and lobbyng networks seeking to shape Washington's political
[00:12:51] agenda, pro Israel organizations led by Apec, having
[00:12:55] emerged as major financial players investing heavily races involving
[00:12:58] candidates who challenge unconditional US support for Israel. According
[00:13:02] to the latest data, spending on political advertisements and reservations
[00:13:06] reached 11.21 billion dollars by October 26th, compared
[00:13:10] with approximately $3.2 billion during the 2024
[00:13:13] presidential election season. The figures underlined the extraordinary financial
[00:13:17] scale of this year's midterms. While billionaire donors such as Elon Musk,
[00:13:21] George Soros and Michael Bloomberg are financing candidates. across party
[00:13:25] lines, money connected to the pro Israel lobby has become particularly
[00:13:29] influential in congressional contests. At the center of this network is the
[00:13:33] American Israel public affairs committee or APAC and its affiliated
[00:13:37] super pack, the United Democracy Project. The ladder raised
[00:13:40] approximately $104 million during the 2026 election
[00:13:44] cycle through June, already exceeding its entire fundraising total for
[00:13:48] 2024. Much of this money has gone into primary
[00:13:51] contests where outside spending can determine which candidates advanced.
[00:13:55] to the general election. In Michigan, Apax political network spent
[00:13:59] more than $30 million dollars in the Democratic Senate primary, backing
[00:14:02] Congresswoman Haley Stevens against Abdul El Saied who was critical of
[00:14:06] United States support for Israel. Elsayed ultimately won the
[00:14:10] nomination, despite the massive financial campaign against him. The influence
[00:14:14] these organizations extends beyond Michigan. In Illinois, apec
[00:14:18] affiliated groups poured millions into congressional primaries targeting candidates
[00:14:22] critical of Israel. In Kentucky, the United Democracy project
[00:14:26] spent millions opposing Republican Congressman Thomas Massy, another
[00:14:30] vocal critic of US policy toward Israel. The stakes are particularly
[00:14:33] high in Texas, Ohio and Michigan, which rank among the most expensive
[00:14:37] Senate contests the election cycle. More than 534
[00:14:41] million dollars has been spent on the Texas race alone, while spending in Ohio has
[00:14:45] exceeded $435 million
[00:14:47] dollars in Michigan Senate contest has attracted approximately $333
[00:14:51] million. The record spending raises a fundamental question.
[00:14:55] "how much influence should wealthy donors and powerful lobbying organizations have over
[00:14:59] the people elected to represent ordinary voters, and when it comes to
[00:15:02] Washington's policy toward Israel, how much of that political agenda is
[00:15:06] being shaped by financial pressure rather than public
[00:15:09] opinion?
[00:15:13] French students have resumed blocking schools throughout the country after
[00:15:17] their return from two week quality. The head of a student union said the
[00:15:21] government's proposals fell short of expectations and..." fail to
[00:15:25] address their demands and fail to address their demands, the
[00:15:29] blockades are expected to expand on the country. french
[00:15:32] president schools to resume classes
[00:15:36] pointing to new... measures aimed that tackling the
[00:15:39] education crisis. France has been gripped by nationwide
[00:15:43] anti-government protest since September the 17th, when
[00:15:47] student let demonstrations of poor school conditions began.
[00:15:51] The movement has since wide and to include anger over the rising cost of
[00:15:54] living and soaring fuel prices with protesters also
[00:15:58] demanding Macron's resignation. Human rights groups have accused
[00:16:02] police of using disproportionate measures to suppress the
[00:16:06] demonstrations. reporting that several teenagers have
[00:16:09] suffered severe warlike injuries from police
[00:16:12] weapons.
[00:16:16] political commentator Dr. Mustafa Traura says protesters in
[00:16:20] France want the government to prioritize education of
[00:16:24] foreign
[00:16:24] aid.
[00:16:29] According to the experts, what was
[00:16:32] given by the government is not enough,
[00:16:35] but the government decide. or accepted to give to the
[00:16:39] students is not enough, so this is what they carry on
[00:16:42] with the protest, the claims from the
[00:16:46] students have been existing for many years now,
[00:16:50] so it is, if you look 10 years
[00:16:53] ago, the the universities and the schools were in
[00:16:57] very poor conditions, but they were not complaining, but I
[00:17:01] think now we brich new era
[00:17:05] where - students are more... um conscious
[00:17:08] of what is happening, especially I think this one has to be linked
[00:17:12] to foreign policy as well, they hear lots
[00:17:16] of money given to Ukraine and
[00:17:18] they ask themselves, okay we give all these money to Ukraine, but look at
[00:17:22] the condition, the conditions of
[00:17:25] our education system, so this is why
[00:17:29] they are complaining in my opinion, there are lots of things they do not
[00:17:32] understand and at the same time they see that the
[00:17:35] purchasing power of... their parents is is
[00:17:39] declining, okay, and we know that students who go to
[00:17:43] university as well, they are struggling to make ends
[00:17:46] meet, so I think it is all this that the gover
[00:17:50] government has to deal with, and it's bit complicated for the
[00:17:54] government to deal with all these issues, especially
[00:17:57] because the government has very
[00:18:00] few months left before the
[00:18:03] elections.
[00:18:07] And with that we come to the end of this news bulletin, thank you so much for staying with us
[00:18:11] on Press
[00:18:12] TV.
[00:18:32] Crisis devastating wars,
[00:18:36] terrorism. The Israeli
[00:18:39] lobby,
[00:18:42] crackdown,
[00:18:47] diplomacy.
[00:18:52] Iran prepared for any
[00:18:54] scenario.
[00:19:07] And...
[00:21:50] and the heavy defeats suffered by the United States, many people
[00:21:54] have come to realize that the Americans are not only
[00:21:57] incapable of providing security, but are actually
[00:22:00] source of insecurity. This realization has become
[00:22:04] particularly significant in light of Israel's illegitimate
[00:22:08] acts of aggression against Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and
[00:22:12] Jordan. These developments together with the Iranian nation's
[00:22:15] victories have raised an important question: what will the
[00:22:19] field? future order of this region look like, what
[00:22:23] security arrangements will be needed to govern these
[00:22:26] 25 countries in west Asia, what kind of
[00:22:30] security system will emerge and how will it be
[00:22:33] established? alongside this question, new perception is
[00:22:37] taking shape, the united states may withdraw from the region in the
[00:22:40] coming years, who will replace it? will it be china and
[00:22:44] russia or
[00:22:45] the countries the region themselves? could Israel establish a
[00:22:48] proxy hegem? behalf the US, so two very
[00:22:52] important questions have emerged, the reason these questions have
[00:22:56] arisen is the Iranian nations resistance, the heavy
[00:22:59] defeat suffered by the United States and the weakness it
[00:23:03] is exposed. first and foremost this demonstrates the
[00:23:07] greatness the Iranian nation. it means that the Iranian nation
[00:23:11] has the ability to determine the fate of superpowers and
[00:23:14] decide their future. the americans wanted to instill fear
[00:23:18] in the hearts their. people, instead parts the Iranian
[00:23:22] people, instead, the nation dealt them a tremendous
[00:23:26] of this resistance have spread throughout Europe. I'll
[00:23:30] probably refer to some the statements made by Macron and the
[00:23:34] German chancellor during this interview. Several
[00:23:37] initiatives are now underway. One is the move made by Mr.
[00:23:41] Rubia, went to Italy and effectively set in motion Europe's
[00:23:45] return to west Asia led by Britain to replace the
[00:23:49] United States. Second, China and other countries east
[00:23:52] Asia are looking for ways to establish a presence
[00:23:56] in this region. Even Trump, addition to Israel had come to
[00:24:00] the conclusion that perhaps he could establish an alternative
[00:24:04] arrangement using countries that maintain friendly
[00:24:07] relations with the United States. That is why they're
[00:24:11] seeking to establish various pacts. However, the
[00:24:14] efforts made over roughly the past one or two
[00:24:18] years have demonstrated that... unless the voice the Iranian
[00:24:21] nation is heard, no pact will take hold and no
[00:24:25] alliance will be formed. Therefore, whatever
[00:24:28] security arrangements emerge, Iran must have its rightful
[00:24:32] place in them. That is why these friends came to us. We
[00:24:36] hadn't invited them, they themselves requested to come and meet with
[00:24:40] us so that we could discuss regional arrangements together.
[00:24:44] During the talks, we did not discuss the Mecca pact, nor did
[00:24:48] we discuss the issue of Yemen.
[00:25:20] Mr. Amir Khalid said that after Israel comes after you, it
[00:25:24] will turn its attention to Turkey and after that it will come after
[00:25:28] us, that is Saudi Arabia, Mr. Ibrahim, that is Saudi
[00:25:31] Arabia, Mr. Ibrahim Kalin, the head of Turkey's
[00:25:35] intelligence, very strong position. Mr. Assim
[00:25:39] Muner spoke about the threat posed by Israel and emerging
[00:25:42] alliance between Hindus and Jews against Muslims and
[00:25:46] even against Pakistan. These statements reflect inform. information
[00:25:50] and concerns they themselves have regarding Israel's
[00:25:54] future intentions, and of course this helped us reach a good
[00:25:58] understanding. We discussed making the defense of Muslims
[00:26:01] against Israel. a priority as well as Israel's
[00:26:05] withdrawal from southern Lebanon and southern Syria and the issues
[00:26:09] of Gaza and the West Bank. The statement we issued made clear
[00:26:13] that this was the first meeting the four countries to discuss
[00:26:16] regional arrangements. God willing these meetings will continue in
[00:26:20] the future. It was also agreed that the foreign ministers these
[00:26:24] three countries would probably visit Iran again. In
[00:26:28] fact, the Tehran meeting itself will, God willing, evolve into
[00:26:32] a... new regional arrangement, that is precisely what we
[00:26:36] want. We believe that foreign powers must leave the region
[00:26:40] and that the countries the region themselves must safeguard their own
[00:26:43] security. I also offered some explanations about why
[00:26:47] unit is essential for security and why division leads to
[00:26:51] insecurity. I give a brief historical account the periods
[00:26:55] involving the Soviet Union and the United States, Britain
[00:26:59] and Russia as well as other countries that came into this.
[00:28:02] plans, they also had information their own, but the details
[00:28:06] I provided helped them gain a clear understanding the
[00:28:10] situation. In effect, it became clear that if a
[00:28:14] country like Iran can stand firm against
[00:28:17] 500 native flights into the region, against the
[00:28:20] entire American military and against the full might of Israel
[00:28:24] all its own, then imagine what could achieve
[00:28:28] if all four of our countries stood together.
[00:28:32] "our combined strength would be far greater and we could
[00:28:36] establish lasting security throughout the region.
[00:28:40] In my view, it became clear that Iran has an important
[00:28:43] place in the region's future and that security simply cannot
[00:28:47] be established without Iran. Iran must absolutely be
[00:28:51] involved any regional arrangements that take
[00:28:55] shape.
[00:28:56] در هر ترتیباتی میخواد بایدی بشه باید
[00:29:00] ایران حضور داشته باشه."
[00:29:32] even described it by saying that Netanyahu had carried out the
[00:29:36] dirty work that Europe wanted to do, they were practically on the
[00:29:40] verge of throwing the celebration, but what are they saying
[00:29:43] today? now both Macron and the German chancellor are
[00:29:47] saying that the war waged against Iran has confronted Europe
[00:29:51] with enormous problems. Macron is even saying that the
[00:29:54] events currently taking place in the streets of France
[00:29:58] are consequence the war against Iran. Germany said,
[00:30:02] that its economic problems stem from the war against Iran.
[00:30:06] A short while ago, Zelinsky said that the rise in diesel
[00:30:10] prices was connected to the straight of hormos. Mr.
[00:30:13] Trump, why are you pointing people in the wrong direction? Now
[00:30:17] consider this, when a war against Iran has such far
[00:30:21] reaching international repercussions and affects the lives of
[00:30:25] people throughout the entire world. There must be reason for
[00:30:29] it. That reason is the Iranian nation's resistance.
[00:30:32] victories it has achieved and Iran's position on the global
[00:30:36] economic map. It is not the case that when something happens
[00:30:40] to the Iranian nation, only the Iranian people suffer the
[00:30:43] consequences. The entire world suffers. Look at what's
[00:30:47] happening in the US right now. Wherever Mr. Trump's goes to
[00:30:51] deliver an election related or campaign speech, he has to
[00:30:55] answer the same question, without exception. Why did he
[00:30:59] start the?
