[00:00:41] of of You're watching Press TV world news with me
[00:00:44] keramati here in the Iraning Capital, Tehran, welcome
[00:00:47] to the program. Iran's foreign minister says Tehran has offered
[00:00:51] its plan to mediators and it is now up to the
[00:00:55] Washington DC to choose between diplomacy
[00:00:58] of and war.
[00:01:01] of
[00:01:08] a exists on that side, and whether
[00:01:11] in they are prepared to take the wise path, to pursue the path of diplomacy and
[00:01:15] negotiation, or whether they want to, as in the past, move toward
[00:01:19] military action. compared to the past, we are better prepared for
[00:01:23] both scenarios. if they should consider testing us once again,
[00:01:27] they will see a worse result than the past.
[00:01:32] Dr. Abbas
[00:01:32] of arakshi made
[00:01:33] a remarks during his trip to Turkmenistan, he said Iran does
[00:01:36] not bow to pressure and the straight of removes will reopen

[00:01:51] of trip as productive and aimed at following up on major
[00:01:55] of bilateral projects in energy, transit and economic
[00:01:58] sectors.
[00:02:02] The deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council as
[00:02:06] Tehran and Beijing both hold the U.S. regime
[00:02:10] responsible for starting the war on
[00:02:15] of Iran. A common understanding was reached that the United States
[00:02:19] and the Israeli regime were responsible for starting this war and are the
[00:02:23] definite parties responsible for the aggression. Another point
[00:02:27] concerned the grave crime of
[00:02:28] of assassinating the great leader. the Islamic Revolution and his family
[00:02:32] members. The Chinese side also addressed this as
[00:02:35] very serious matter that cannot be easily
[00:02:38] of overlooked. They condemned the assassination and stressed that it was an
[00:02:42] unprecedented
[00:02:43] crime.
[00:02:48] of Ali Baqeri made the remarks during his visit to China for talks with higher
[00:02:51] level
[00:02:53] of officials. Baqiri has met with Chinese foreign minister and discussed the
[00:02:56] consequences
[00:02:57] of the US and Israely war in Iran. wants diplomatic
[00:03:00] initiatives to end the war as well as regional
[00:03:03] security. The Chinese foreign minister for his part expressed
[00:03:07] support for Iran's sovereignty and security. Oman
[00:03:11] Sulton is also visiting Beijing. According to
[00:03:14] Al-Mayodin, trilateral talks involving Iran, Oman
[00:03:18] and China are underway, focusing on Oman's renewed
[00:03:21] mediation between Tehran and Washington to be backed by Chinese
[00:03:25] economic and security guarantees. Meanwhile,
[00:03:29] Iran's... Security official major general Mosen Razi
[00:03:33] held a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir
[00:03:37] Putin to discuss regional development. The two also stress
[00:03:40] the need for a
[00:03:42] of strategic cooperation based on the mutually agreed road
[00:03:45] map. For more on
[00:03:49] that, let me bring in Saheb Shath, author and commentator join
[00:03:53] joining us from the city of Belfast. Mr. Shaw, thank
[00:03:57] in you for coming back to Press TV. I wanted to... to know
[00:04:00] your broad takeaway when you hear the news that uh the
[00:04:04] country of
[00:04:05] of China is right now trying to help Oman mediate
[00:04:09] a actually a preventive measure or something else you
[00:04:13] can correct me if I'm wrong there uh between Iran and
[00:04:16] Washington there have been the this analysis
[00:04:20] that countries like uh Russia and China need to
[00:04:24] enter the mediation efforts between Iran and
[00:04:27] Washington DC in order to prevent. war your thoughts on that as
[00:04:31] well, hello to
[00:04:33] you and your audience,
[00:04:35] a china is following what the Russians
[00:04:41] of in recognition started a in here, but we look at the China always voices the opposition to
[00:04:45] external military strikes against Iran, and China
[00:04:49] affirmed it support for Iran sovereignty,
[00:04:52] of security and territorial integrity, this is the
[00:04:55] position, always the Chinese advocates for resolving
[00:04:59] this. due to through political and diplomatic means,
[00:05:03] they don't like to be
[00:05:04] of dragged into any conflict. China used its
[00:05:08] position in the UN and security
[00:05:10] in council breaks and Shang. high cooperation organization
[00:05:14] to provide Iran as well with
[00:05:17] political cover and to challenge US lit brusher
[00:05:21] which is through wars or sanctions against
[00:05:24] Iran, this strategic relationship
[00:05:28] between in China and Iran always
[00:05:32] worked to reduce Iran international isolation
[00:05:36] and proved it support Iran in so
[00:05:39] many levels and be members
[00:05:43] of multilateral blocks as the
[00:05:46] bricks as the shanghai and that is
[00:05:50] is part the way the Chinese and Iranian
[00:05:53] seen how to reduce the Americans higimony
[00:05:57] in in in Asia and west Asia, if we look at the
[00:06:00] 20 25 China used to buy over
[00:06:04] 80% of Iran's ship oil
[00:06:07] and Iran will give China some discounts that
[00:06:11] counted near... for 14% the Chinese
[00:06:15] imported oil by sea at the time,
[00:06:19] Iran and China, they have fantastic relationships
[00:06:22] in a trade, which
[00:06:26] despite the US sanctions are
[00:06:29] active, and China is challenging the American
[00:06:32] policy of imposing sanctions on on
[00:06:36] Iran, China have the ministry of
[00:06:40] commerce, Chinese issued block. bans against US
[00:06:44] sanctions on the Chinese firms accused of
[00:06:47] involvement in Iranian petroleum
[00:06:49] transactions and the they stated that at the time
[00:06:53] these measures violate international
[00:06:56] law, so from here we can
[00:07:00] see the why is the Chinese are
[00:07:03] involved, if I want to go even further
[00:07:07] Chinas have a scope of
[00:07:10] security.
[00:07:14] with with with with Iran and it's even
[00:07:18] moving that relationship beyond just
[00:07:22] economical kind of
[00:07:24] relationship China you participated
[00:07:28] in the military exercise
[00:07:32] shahand 2025 with Russia and
[00:07:36] Iran China cooperating in research and
[00:07:39] development with cyber security strategy.
[00:07:43] digital software, hardware and advance as well
[00:07:47] military and technology state
[00:07:50] the art devices, i want to mention one, the
[00:07:54] yLC 8b radar
[00:07:56] system, that is capable of detecting
[00:08:00] st aircraft like the f35, that is the
[00:08:04] project the Chinese and the
[00:08:06] rain coborating on
[00:08:08] and that is ringing bells
[00:08:10] all over Washington about their own capability to
[00:08:14] dominate the the Iranian skies, iran
[00:08:18] uses the
[00:08:20] Chinese which is
[00:08:23] alternative to the American GBS called be
[00:08:27] do, that satellite navigation system, it can use it
[00:08:31] Iran for navigation for military or sensitive
[00:08:35] issues, that's deep kind of
[00:08:37] relationship, it it's betrays it is a
[00:08:41] strategy. it is China in there even if it's not
[00:08:45] involved militarily and as the
[00:08:48] Chinese president Chi said to to
[00:08:52] Biden, they are not involved in supporting Iran
[00:08:56] militarily, but that shows the level of
[00:08:59] cooperation between them and China from there can
[00:09:03] summon the other players like Oman and it try
[00:09:07] to from here to draw the
[00:09:10] future in cooperation. between the one who
[00:09:14] control the straight of hormos because there is direct interest
[00:09:18] the Chinese for a trade in there and for oil
[00:09:21] and a China showing now its ability to
[00:09:25] influence the regional players and support Iran, but in the
[00:09:29] future the Americans have to see what the Chinese
[00:09:32] asking. Thank you so much for your insights, that was
[00:09:36] Saib Shath, author and commentator join us from the city of
[00:09:40] Belfast. Navy says a
[00:09:43] violating oil tanker caught fire after hitting a seam mine in the
[00:09:47] straight of remoz. According to the navy, the tanker was moving
[00:09:51] a prohibited and unsafe area east the straight of
[00:09:54] remoz when it struck seam mine causing a fire on
[00:09:58] board. The vessel had switched off its navigation
[00:10:01] systems. The navy warn tanker owners to learn from the
[00:10:05] fate of such vessels which tried to pass through prohibited
[00:10:09] areas by turning off their navigation systems. and said
[00:10:13] unauthorized passage through high risk areas can lead
[00:10:17] to mine strikes and fires. the
[00:10:21] IRGC's navy command has said that from October to
[00:10:25] 25th, the date of sendcom commander Brad Cooper's show
[00:10:28] visit to the straight of Ramus to date that is nine
[00:10:32] days later, 11 violating tankers have burned in the straight of
[00:10:36] remooz with some sinking in the depth the
[00:10:39] sea. the battle
[00:10:43] for control of congress is becoming a contest of
[00:10:47] unprecedented financial proportions with wealthy donors
[00:10:50] and powerful lobbing networks pouring millions
[00:10:54] into... races. Among the biggest players is the Pro
[00:10:57] Israel lobby whose growing role in the campaign financing is
[00:11:01] raising questions about money, political influence and the
[00:11:05] future the US policy toward
[00:11:07] Israel.
[00:11:12] 36 US mid-term elections are the most expensive in American
[00:11:15] history, with campaign spending exceeding even that of recent presidential
[00:11:19] elections. Billions of dollars are pouring into congressional races, but
[00:11:23] behind the unprecedented. defending battle is another powerful force, wealthy
[00:11:27] donors and lobbying networks seeking to shape Washington's political agenda.
[00:11:31] ProIsrael organizations, led by Apac, have emerged as major
[00:11:35] financial players investing heavily in races involving candidates who
[00:11:39] challenge unconditional US support for Israel. According to the latest
[00:11:42] data, spending on political advertisements and reservations reached
[00:11:46] $11.21 billion dollars by October 206, compared with
[00:11:50] approximately $3.2 billion during the 2024 presidential
[00:11:53] election season. The... Figures underline the extraordinary financial scale of
[00:11:57] this year's midterms, while billionaire donors such as Elon Musk, George
[00:12:01] Soros and Michael Bloomberg are financing candidates across party lines,
[00:12:05] money connected to the pro Israel lobby has become particularly influential in
[00:12:09] congressional contests. At the center of this network is the American
[00:12:13] Israel public affairs committee or APAC and its affiliated super
[00:12:16] pack, the United Democracy Project. The ladder raised
[00:12:20] approximately $104 million dollars during the 2026 election
[00:12:23] cycle through June. already exceeding its entire fundraising total for
[00:12:27] 2024, much of this money has gone into primary
[00:12:30] contests where outside spending can determine which candidates advance to the
[00:12:34] general election. In Michigan, Apax political network spent
[00:12:38] more than $30 million
[00:12:39] dollars in the Democratic Senate Primary, backing Congresswoman Haley Stevens
[00:12:43] against Abdul El Saied, who is critical of United States support for
[00:12:47] Israel. Elsayed ultimately won the nomination, despite the massive
[00:12:51] financial campaign against him. The influence these organizations.
[00:12:55] extends beyond Michigan. In Illinois, Apac affiliated groups poured
[00:12:59] millions into congressional primaries targeting candidates critical of
[00:13:02] Israel. In Kentucky, the United Democracy project spent millions
[00:13:06] opposing Republican Congressman Thomas Massy, another vocal critic of
[00:13:10] US policy toward Israel. The stakes are particularly high in Texas,
[00:13:14] Ohio and Michigan, which rank among the most expensive Senate contests
[00:13:18] the election cycle. More than $534 million has been spent
[00:13:21] on the Texas race alone, while spending in Ohio has exceeded.
[00:13:25] $435 million in Michigan Senate Contest has attracted
[00:13:29] approximately $333 million. The record spending
[00:13:32] raises a fundamental question: how much influence should wealthy donors
[00:13:36] and powerful lobbying organizations have over the people elected to represent
[00:13:40] ordinary voters, and when it comes to Washington's policy toward Israel,
[00:13:44] how much of that political agenda is being shaped by financial pressure rather than
[00:13:48] public
[00:13:48] opinion?
[00:13:52] Gordon Nixon, radio host and political analyst. in Washington DC
[00:13:56] joined us earlier for his insight into the upcoming US mid-term
[00:14:00] elections.
[00:14:04] Well, what's driving this is the realization the American
[00:14:07] public that they are not being um represented by
[00:14:11] the uh the mem the members of Congress and by their political so-called
[00:14:15] representatives that they're on their own and so what's happening because the
[00:14:19] issues cannot be discussed um a way that will be
[00:14:22] attractive to the voters. Instead. they have to try to fool the
[00:14:26] voters, they have to use creative um ways to uh convince
[00:14:30] the voters to vote for them that are not related to policy, and that's very
[00:14:34] expensive. these uh people who are
[00:14:37] potential members of congress are literally vetted. i have had
[00:14:41] people running for congress tell me, running actually even for state
[00:14:45] offices tell me that they had to go to an apec um office
[00:14:49] to be vetted um to ensure that they
[00:14:52] sufficiently supported Israel before the... why are we voting
[00:14:56] um you can't vote why
[00:14:57] are we voting um
[00:14:59] you can't vote your way out of it in
[00:15:00] that is my um
[00:15:03] opinion that uh
[00:15:06] their voices are not heard and that there is not
[00:15:10] democracy for the masses there is a as as you know you
[00:15:14] kind of illustrated this there is a battle between competing factions the
[00:15:18] ruling elite and the American people and the working class don't get a say in
[00:15:22] this and the the American people are starting to see it because It's so obvious
[00:15:25] and I'll just say this, particularly in the last election where the president the
[00:15:29] United States ran a platform of peace that was very
[00:15:33] attractive to lot of voters and he won a coalition that no one.
[00:15:37] never thought would come together, people who had disperant ideological views
[00:15:41] all came together because they wanted peace, and when he got in office they
[00:15:45] got the, they got the opposite, and I think that was dramatic lesson for the
[00:15:49] electorate here in the United States. After two weeks
[00:15:53] of school holidays, a student protest resumed across France on
[00:15:57] Monday, November the 2nd with several high schools blocked.
[00:16:01] Students have the announced police violence saying they will continue mobilizing
[00:16:04] despite the pressure.
[00:16:10] student protests have resumed in France, high school students have now
[00:16:13] organized blockades as the movement has entered new phase, the return
[00:16:17] to school has not brought an end to the mobilization,
[00:16:21] students say their demands remain unanswered and insists they are determined
[00:16:25] to continue
[00:16:25] protesting.
[00:16:30] we knew the movement would not lose momentum during the holidays, and
[00:16:34] here we are, back for the start the school year, the government. is wrong if it
[00:16:38] thought we would stop, this is not just a symbolic movement, it
[00:16:41] reflects widespread anger, and we want things to change. of
[00:16:45] course, we're not going to stop here. the police violence against
[00:16:49] us shows the government's hypocrisy. they don't want things to
[00:16:52] change, so they use heavy police repression to make us abandon the
[00:16:56] struggle, but that's not going to stop us. find it
[00:16:59] unacceptable, and it really shows how little the government listens to the
[00:17:03] people.
[00:17:07] "now we've been demanding our rights, we're tired the government refusing to
[00:17:11] listen to us, if they listened, things would be better, it would all
[00:17:15] move faster, and we would have ended the blockades, all we want is better
[00:17:19] conditions to study, we want to study, we're not blocking schools
[00:17:23] because we want to skip classes, we actually want to learn, but the
[00:17:26] government doesn't understand that, they think violence will stop us from
[00:17:30] protesting, but it only makes us even angrier, we're going to keep fighting until
[00:17:34] they give in, because we've had enough, but the return to school was..." also
[00:17:38] marked by reports of physical violence during police
[00:17:41] interventions, with students describing what they say were brutal acts
[00:17:44] against
[00:17:45] them.
[00:17:49] police officers violently beat us this morning, one officer
[00:17:53] even tore my sweater while violently pulling me to the ground. they
[00:17:57] threw me to the ground, my classmates were being choked,
[00:18:00] another student was grabbed by the legs and dragged along the ground by
[00:18:04] police officers. we really didn't expect this.
[00:18:16] That's mainly so we'll give up, but we're not going to
[00:18:19] stop, nothing has changed, we're still
[00:18:22] angry, and in response to that anger, they send the
[00:18:26] police to beat us, it's absurd. Despite the school
[00:18:30] holidays, the student movement is continuing, protesters say
[00:18:34] they will not be silenced and intend to keep mobilizing. until their demands
[00:18:38] are heard. Casim Hasan reporting for

[00:22:35] genocide campaign tracked 315 shipments of
[00:22:38] elbit systems components through 56
[00:22:42] commercial ports in 29 countries between august
[00:22:46] 2025 and september 2026,
[00:22:50] campaigners also monitored 3,400 shipment
[00:22:53] supplying American military bases through 67 ports in
[00:22:57] 42 countries. Egypt's port said uh was
[00:23:01] flag said flagged was a transit point where
[00:23:05] ships reportently listed the port before disabling
[00:23:08] AIIS signals raising transparency concerns about
[00:23:12] final destinations. And that brings us
[00:23:16] to the end of this edition of world news bulletin. Thank you for joining us. And bye-bye
[00:23:20] for
[00:23:20] now,
[00:23:37] crisis, devastating wars,
[00:23:40] terrorism, the Israely
[00:23:44] lobby,
[00:23:47] crackdown.
[00:23:51] Diplomacy:
[00:23:57] Iran prepared for any
[00:23:59] scenario.
[00:24:14] A story of Iran's resilience today, a US-Israel strike
[00:24:18] during the 40-day war on Iran. hit a laser and plasma
[00:24:21] research facility in Tehran and most people would assume that
[00:24:25] means shut down, silence, damage, end of work, but
[00:24:29] that's not what happened in the Islamic Republic of Iran, because within
[00:24:33] days the labs were running again, researchers back in the
[00:24:37] building, equipment being cleared and experiments
[00:24:41] restarting, so the first question rights itself, what
[00:24:44] exactly was the U.S. Israel strike supposed to stop?
[00:24:48] The answer is quite... clear, it was attempt to attack Iran
[00:24:52] scientific infrastructure itself. many of you may ask,
[00:24:56] but why? let's unfold that. the facility is a working
[00:25:00] research center focused on plasma physics, photonics,
[00:25:04] biomedical imaging and industrial applications, the kind of
[00:25:08] science that moves between medicine, energy and materials.
[00:25:12] and hey, it is not just theory. the inventions are
[00:25:16] being applied in avance hospitals, industry, pharmaceutical.
[00:25:20] colds, even for gemstones, so if the goal was
[00:25:23] disruption, did the US and Israel succeed? the clear
[00:25:27] answer is, no. another question pops up, how is the work
[00:25:31] already continuing? because Iranian scientists are framing this
[00:25:34] as deeper than physical damage. they believe it reflects
[00:25:38] pattern, pressure on Iran's scientific
[00:25:41] infrastructure. something, the US and Israel have
[00:25:45] been doing for decades. remember the target killings of Iran's nuclear
[00:25:49] scientist. and cyber attacks on peaceful nuclear plants.
[00:25:53] Anyways, this attack was another desperate attempt to
[00:25:56] disrupt years of research, expertise and technological
[00:26:00] progress instead of allowing. the strike to define the
[00:26:04] institute's future, Iranian scientists returned
[00:26:07] within days to restore operations and restart
[00:26:10] projects at the center, the damage equipment is already
[00:26:14] being replaced and in some cases operated within domestically
[00:26:18] developed systems, so instead of shutting the work down, the US
[00:26:22] is really strike appears to have accelerated rebuild
[00:26:25] cycle, and that's how the Islamic Republic
[00:26:28] works.
[00:26:38] Teaching anywhere in the world shares a common language, a
[00:26:42] love beyond duty and heart that beats for the fate
[00:26:45] of children. When you are teacher, every morning you leave all your
[00:26:49] personal pain behind the classroom door to create
[00:26:53] safe world for other people's children. On February
[00:26:56] 28, 2026, in Iran a school in Minab was
[00:27:00] experiencing its usual calm. Fatima
[00:27:04] Shahdadi, an energetic sports coach who saw the world through the
[00:27:08] joyful eyes of her students and Farid Mokhtari,
[00:27:11] dignified and kind teacher were present amits the
[00:27:14] children's bustling chatter, but this innocent routine
[00:27:18] suddenly turned into dust and ashes with the terrifying roar of
[00:27:22] missiles, deadly strikes that targeted civilians and educational
[00:27:26] centers during military attacks by Israel and the United States
[00:27:30] collapsing the school's roof over the children. children and
[00:27:33] teachers, at the moment the ground shook beneath their
[00:27:36] feed and rubble and smoke filled the air, survival instinct dictated
[00:27:40] that everyone should look for escape route to save their own
[00:27:44] lives, but for fatima and faide, time stood still a
[00:27:48] different way, in those seconds of terror and screams, only
[00:27:52] one image was etched in the minds these women, the
[00:27:55] children, they ran toward the center the fire and
[00:27:58] danger, emid the cries of children trapped alone in the flames,
[00:28:02] They did not survive to return to their classrooms. The
[00:28:06] next day, both teachers lost their lives right there in the school's
[00:28:10] courtyard and hallways giving everything to save the
[00:28:14] children of others. Behind the
[00:28:17] names these two teachers lay two lives filled with hope and
[00:28:21] attachment, women who lived like millions of others, yet
[00:28:25] gave meaning to self-sacrifice in the face of tragedy. Days
[00:28:29] after the disaster, among fidas few remaining keep. takes a
[00:28:33] short will was found alongside pair of earrings she had given to
[00:28:37] her mother before the incident, as if her heart sense this
[00:28:40] journey had no return. fatima's family too remembers her with
[00:28:44] grand dreams and heart overflowing with dedication to
[00:28:48] serve. today no trace remains these classrooms or the
[00:28:52] laughter filled courtyard, yet the names of Fatima Shahdadi,
[00:28:55] Faride Mokhtari and dozens of other teachers who fell
[00:28:59] victim to these devastating attacks have become... symbols of
[00:29:03] humanity's endurance against the violence of war,
[00:29:06] educators who embrace death to gift their students the right to
[00:29:10] live and
[00:29:11] learn.
[00:29:24] in today's show we'll be considering the impact of motion that was adopted by the
[00:29:28] green party of England and Wales at their recent conference in Brighton which
[00:29:31] clearly stated that zinanism is racism.
[00:29:34] colonialism is evil, slavery is evil, settler
[00:29:38] colonialism is evil, racism isn't evil, and
[00:29:41] therefore this zinism as it's materialized
[00:29:45] in Israel is racism and
[00:29:49] therefore must be conduct as an ideology. it's a
[00:29:53] very significant step, but of course we need to build on it, we need to build on
[00:29:57] it most obviously by dismantlingism as an ideology and as
[00:30:01] movement in this.
