[00:00:03] US media report the Vice President JD Vans is seeking to build
[00:00:07] a new political alliance with disaffected supporters of
[00:00:11] President Donald Trump follen republicans humiliate and defeat in the
[00:00:15] mid terms. US Republican Congressman Thomas Marsi has
[00:00:18] filed eight articles of impeachment against Warsex 3 beat
[00:00:22] exit.
[00:00:39] a
[00:00:40] in Hello anyone, welcome, youtuning to press tv from
[00:00:44] Tehran, world with
[00:00:45] of live me news Z Zakaria, thank you for joining us. Iran's
[00:00:49] Islamic Revolution God says
[00:00:51] two oil tankers have caught fire in the street of vod moves after attempting to cross
[00:00:55] unautorized route and striking sea mines. In a statement,
[00:00:59] the IRGC said tog boat approaching one
[00:01:02] of the tankers to pull out the fire also cut fire. The
[00:01:06] IRGC accused United States of pressuring ships to use
[00:01:09] of anoutorized mine laden route in the straight of Ormus. It
[00:01:13] said this policy is
[00:01:15] of imposing huge insurance costs on American taxpayers in
[00:01:18] Washington's regional allies. The IRGC added that
[00:01:22] Washington could have avoided this cost by unfreasing Iran's blocked
[00:01:26] assets which are worth less than the expenses. secured so
[00:01:30] far, it also said the move could have spared the US president a
[00:01:34] humuliating electoral defeat. the IRGC one
[00:01:38] that attempts to violate regulations in the state of Urmus would only
[00:01:42] bring
[00:01:42] of further a financial losses in political setback for Washington.
[00:01:46] separately, it said its navy electronic warfare
[00:01:50] unit had taken control of two US lookers drones,
[00:01:54] safely landed them and seized the
[00:01:56] of aircraft.
[00:02:05] The commander
[00:02:06] of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corkot force has won the US
[00:02:10] against repeating past miscalculations, stressing the
[00:02:14] resistance front is united across the region. Brigador general Ismail
[00:02:18] Khan he said the narcissistic president
[00:02:19] of the United State was deceived by the evil
[00:02:23] of prime minister of Israel to start his gamble like war with Iran.
[00:02:27] The general noted that the result of Washington's aggression. was the loss of
[00:02:30] United States 250 year old
[00:02:32] of credit and losing the straight of hormose. Kahne added
[00:02:36] the
[00:02:37] due to the US obstinacy over Armost straight, it has also lost baby
[00:02:41] mendem straight to the resistance front. He warned that following
[00:02:45] the message issued by the leader
[00:02:46] of the Islamic Revolution, if the US continues its
[00:02:50] gamble like behavior in the war, it will receive drastic
[00:02:54] blows, the resist from the resistance front in his
[00:02:57] Wednesday message at Musa Khamenei. once again warned of a
[00:03:01] brother response to any new act of
[00:03:03] of aggression against Iran while praising the powerful act of
[00:03:07] heroism by the resistance
[00:03:08] front.
[00:03:13] The United States has renewed its threat to launch new aggression against
[00:03:17] Iran, prompting Tehran to one of stronger
[00:03:20] response with no geographical limitation if attacks
[00:03:24] on his territory resume. Press TV correspondents spoke to several
[00:03:28] Iraqi journalists to hear their view. on Washington's
[00:03:31] stret, particularly following the Republican significant step
[00:03:34] back in Tuesday's
[00:03:36] elections.
[00:03:40] The war in Iran was one
[00:03:41] of the main reasons behinds the crushing defeat
[00:03:43] of the Republicans in the U.S. mid-term elections. Following this
[00:03:47] major setback for President Donald Trump and his Republican Party, I
[00:03:51] think he may resort to
[00:03:52] a reckless move by carring out a limited nuclear strike against
[00:03:56] Iran. Such move would put all American
[00:03:58] of interests across the region.
[00:04:01] at risk, the Islamic Republic is certainly prepared on security, logistical
[00:04:05] and military fronts. Statements by Iranian officials and military
[00:04:08] commanders have made it clear that any attack would be met with a forceful
[00:04:12] response. Iran has a list of targets and under the
[00:04:16] directives of its leadership, numerous American interests and
[00:04:19] facilities across the region are identified as potential
[00:04:24] of of targets. If the United States makes the reckless decision to launch nuclear strike, even a limited
[00:04:28] one, the consequence.
[00:04:33] of open a the renewed door US carry
[00:04:34] I be enormous believe attack reckless on
[00:04:37] risks would affecting Iran and regions outside West Asia,
[00:04:41] it could to the use of weapons of mass destruction elsewhere in the
[00:04:43] world and trigger a wider and more
[00:04:47] dangerous global arms race, this could push the world towards an
[00:04:51] unprecedented catastrophe. Trump's electoral setback could be one
[00:04:54] of the factors behind a decision to take such a step. I believe there is a
[00:04:58] possibility that Trump could...
[00:04:59] Through this course of action, he
[00:05:01] has demonstrated a highly confrontational approach and pressure from
[00:05:05] Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu could also play a
[00:05:08] role in influencing such decision.
[00:05:13] I believe neighboring countries would be among the first to bear the consequences of
[00:05:17] another attack on Iran with the Persian Gulf states particularly
[00:05:21] vulnerable to its fallout. For now, the scenario appears to
[00:05:25] revolve around threats and the use of military pressure. However, I
[00:05:29] find it difficult to imagine that Trump would go as far as authorizing nuclear
[00:05:33] strike, as such decision could have far reaching consequences for the
[00:05:36] United States and its position in the
[00:05:38] world.
[00:05:42] foreign ministry spokesman is strongly condemned the German foreign
[00:05:46] minister's latest remarks they were aimed to justifying the US
[00:05:49] Israel aggression against Iran. Is made a comment a
[00:05:53] social media post after Johan Watherfall falsely claimed
[00:05:57] that the cause the aggression was Tfan's pursuit of nuclear weapons
[00:06:01] and supporting arms groups in neighboring countries. Reacting
[00:06:05] to his remarks Bargai said what the f was forgotten the Germany's
[00:06:08] chancellor Frederic Merks once enthusiastically declared
[00:06:13] that Israel was doing a daily work with his attack on Iran. A
[00:06:16] few months later, Mr. later lamented
[00:06:19] that the war in Iran at cost Europe 100 billion euros.
[00:06:23] Bag noted that now is foreign minister feels compelled to
[00:06:27] justify the military assault on Iran. He added
[00:06:30] that waterfall's remarks are macked by such indifference
[00:06:34] and such profound moral decay that he need
[00:06:37] acknowledges the human casualties and war crimes committed nor
[00:06:41] gras the... economic darage that the war has inflicted on his
[00:06:45] country and
[00:06:46] europe.
[00:06:52] a large crowd took to the streets across Iran on
[00:06:55] Wednesday to mark the 13 of Orban, date
[00:06:59] commemorating key event in the country's revolutionary history and
[00:07:03] observed as national student day. this year,
[00:07:06] demonstrations came against the backdrop the recent
[00:07:09] US-Israeli war against Iran. was there and
[00:07:13] filed this
[00:07:14] report.
[00:07:18] young voices and streets filled with new generation
[00:07:21] taking part in demonstration rooted in decades of
[00:07:25] history. huge crowds of students have turned out in
[00:07:28] Tehran to mark the 13th of Oban, a day
[00:07:32] that has become a symbol of opposition to US
[00:07:36] imperialistic policies. no matter how many
[00:07:40] times
[00:07:40] they attack us, we will never give up
[00:07:47] We believe it is our duty to take part in demonstrations like this to show our
[00:07:51] enemies that we are determined to defend our country until
[00:07:54] the very end. Following the recent US-Israeli
[00:07:58] war, demonstrators are also remembering the students and
[00:08:01] civilians killed in attacks on Iranian
[00:08:04] territory,
[00:08:05] and this year's slogan translates as a pledge to the
[00:08:09] marchers and a battle against arrogant.
[00:08:14] We are here today to honor the memory the innocent school children killed
[00:08:18] in Minab. We have come to reaffir our determination to
[00:08:21] stand against the United States until its forces leave our
[00:08:24] region. We also demand justice for the blood of those
[00:08:28] innocent children. Why should innocent students
[00:08:32] and teachers be targeted and killed during a war?
[00:08:35] Our martered leader's daughter was teacher and she was dearly loved by her
[00:08:39] students. We keep asking ourselves why?
[00:08:47] This massive turnout is proof that the United States has failed in its
[00:08:51] attempts to undermine Iran over the past four decades. Iran
[00:08:55] has shown that nation can stand firm and maintain its
[00:08:58] independence. Participants also express support
[00:09:02] for Iran's armed forces. They also urged Iranian
[00:09:06] authorities to review the country's continued membership in the
[00:09:10] nuclear non-proliferation treaty and raising
[00:09:13] the possibility of a withdrawal. We love
[00:09:17] Iran. Iran isn't just a country, it's a land, a land
[00:09:21] fill with culture, history, love, and hope. We'll
[00:09:25] stand by this country as we stood in the past couple wars,
[00:09:28] just like our ancestors, long live Iran. For those
[00:09:32] taking part, the event is both a remembrance the past
[00:09:36] and an opportunity to express their views about Iran's
[00:09:40] future. Four decades after. the events gave November
[00:09:43] 4th its historical significance, new generation of
[00:09:47] Iranians is taking to the streets with the same message of
[00:09:51] national unity and resistance against foreign pressure.

[00:10:01] US media reports the Vice President J.D. Vans is
[00:10:05] seeking to build new political alliance with disaffected
[00:10:09] support, Republicans emuliating defeat Republic.
[00:10:12] imuliating defeat in the midterms. According to sources,
[00:10:16] Vance wants to establish new right. A broad coalition of
[00:10:20] Republicans united around an American first agenda
[00:10:24] include. in avoiding foreign conflict, tightening border
[00:10:28] controls and making life more affordable for Americans.
[00:10:32] On Wednesday, Van said the war in Iran was the real reason
[00:10:35] Republicans suffered losses in November 3rd election in
[00:10:39] what was widely interpreted as an effort to distance himself from
[00:10:43] Trump. He listed four steps to win back voters, hending
[00:10:47] the war in Iran, focusing on the cost of living and inflation,
[00:10:51] putting American first and changing the country's relationship with Israel.
[00:10:55] Republicans lost the control of both houses of congress in
[00:10:59] Tuesday's election. The results have been described by some
[00:11:03] Republicans as rejection of Trump's
[00:11:05] presidency.
[00:11:11] Macy Wingrad is political commentator and co-chair central
[00:11:15] coast anti-war coalition joining us now from
[00:11:19] California. Thank you so much for your time. Um, I mean let's get right down
[00:11:23] to it. This shift. from the US vice
[00:11:26] president against his president sounds very
[00:11:30] weird because um
[00:11:32] you know they've both been on the same uh page for a long
[00:11:35] time. do you think this shift is because the Americans
[00:11:39] didn't get what they wanted in the war? it's not because they were against the
[00:11:42] war in
[00:11:43] particular.
[00:11:49] answer your question, i think that americans were against
[00:11:53] the war from the beginning, mean it's a... totally unprovoked illegal war
[00:11:57] that was launched with attack on school children,
[00:12:00] killing over 100, 120 school children, and this made no
[00:12:04] sense to anyone, and Trump was the one who
[00:12:07] walked away from the nuclear deal that had been
[00:12:11] negotiated previously, and then he makes up some reason why he has to
[00:12:15] go to war that was just nonsensical, so I think the
[00:12:19] latest poll show that maybe one out of three support
[00:12:23] him, I would question. that as a high number, it's
[00:12:27] probably less than that, as we saw last night, landslide
[00:12:30] victory, a blue tsunami, blue being democrats, not
[00:12:34] just elevating democrats to
[00:12:37] leadership in congress, the US house and senate, but across
[00:12:41] the states and state legislatures, so I think the
[00:12:45] writing is on the wall, the public in the United States
[00:12:49] wants this war to end now, okay,
[00:12:52] now I'm sorry to... up here, but I do want to get
[00:12:56] in uh this aspect the issue as well, the
[00:12:59] first Trump term was known as the way he's always
[00:13:03] firing people that he doesn't agree with, second term is very different
[00:13:07] because he was able to surround himself with people who always say
[00:13:11] yes to him, if this kind of statement is coming out from the
[00:13:15] vice president, are we going to be seeing some reshufling uh
[00:13:18] you know back to what we used to expect you know um in the
[00:13:22] first Trump term where he fires some some people uh we know
[00:13:26] that um Thomas Marsi has brought in
[00:13:29] legislation today against um Pete X said so are we going
[00:13:33] to start seeing the repercussion of that as soon as
[00:13:36] possible? I think to save their political
[00:13:39] futures, yes they will be abandoning
[00:13:42] Trump, what does he have to offer the Republican
[00:13:46] party? a senseless war? and now the
[00:13:49] democrats are in in some conflict
[00:13:52] over what to do next, because there are two
[00:13:56] progressives, i'm speaking specifically of congressman
[00:13:59] rokana in the house, i'm speaking of senator from
[00:14:03] maryland in the senate, vote
[00:14:06] december 11th to cut off funding for this war on,
[00:14:10] and what i'm reading
[00:14:12] on twitter on x is that
[00:14:15] schumer, minority leader right
[00:14:19] now in the senate, but will be, unless he's challenged, he will be the
[00:14:23] leader the senate. january and that he wants to
[00:14:26] put the vote off until after january, whether that's
[00:14:30] logistical because he thinks then they'll have better chance of cutting off
[00:14:34] funds or if it's or if there's another reason i don't
[00:14:37] know. okay,
[00:14:38] so final question to you is this blue
[00:14:42] tsunami that you're talking about of people um
[00:14:45] demanding change from
[00:14:47] uh you know
[00:14:48] the the trump policies, well is this going to have
[00:14:51] meaningful translation because let's not kid ourselves? "the
[00:14:55] democrats don't really have much of a concrete plan for
[00:14:59] the American people other than opposing what Trump is saying, I mean people are
[00:15:03] against uh many of this um data center b bother
[00:15:07] control, do the democrats have this or is it going to be you know some
[00:15:11] simile? I think there will be tug of war within the Democratic
[00:15:15] party. I've long been a democratic insurgent in that
[00:15:19] party, and already you can see online, people are
[00:15:22] saying, we've got to kick..." Schumer and Jeffries
[00:15:26] who are the ranking minority leaders to the curb, we need new
[00:15:30] leadership, whether or not that materializes, there will be
[00:15:33] pressure rising from below, the grassroots pressure, right?
[00:15:37] say
[00:15:37] you know what, we need a whole new agenda and we need to hold trump, well if we can't hold
[00:15:41] him him account, accountable, then we certainly need to hold
[00:15:45] Gerard Kushner, Pete Hegseph, Trump is already that he's going
[00:15:49] to veto whatever the the democrats are going to be bringing his way,
[00:15:53] thank you so much for your time and patient, we really appreciate it,
[00:15:56] mercy winsgrad, political commentator and co-chair of central
[00:16:00] coast anti-war coalition, joining us from California,
[00:16:04] good to be with you, thank you, Moving on with the news,
[00:16:08] US Republican Congressman Thomas Massy has filed eight articles of
[00:16:12] Republicans seek to blame Hekset for their midterm election losses.
[00:16:16] Some party members says he played a key role in convincing Donald Trump
[00:16:20] to attack Iran without clear exit strategy or plans to deal
[00:16:23] with the political fallout. Trump has repeatedly defended Hekset
[00:16:27] rejecting calls to replace him on Wednesday and saying the war secretary is
[00:16:31] doing a good job. Trump was also acknowledged exit role in backing the
[00:16:35] war describing him as the first member. of his administration to support the
[00:16:39] aggression, democrats for their part of vowed to investigate
[00:16:43] hexed leadership at the pentagon, the inquiry could cover his handling
[00:16:47] the war in Iran as well as his removal of senior military
[00:16:50] officials including the chairman the joint chief of
[00:16:54] staff,
[00:16:59] and belarus has hosted the first international conference on euro asian
[00:17:02] security, the two-day event concluded on Wednesday seeking
[00:17:06] to establish a new security architecture from dozens
[00:17:10] of countries including senior from dozens of countries including senior
[00:17:14] officials from Russia, Iran and China address the meeting.
[00:17:18] Press TV's deterrinage has report from
[00:17:20] Minsk. Diplomats
[00:17:24] and experts from 50 countries in Europe and Asia goffered in Minsk for
[00:17:28] discussions aimed at establishing a new security
[00:17:32] architecture fit for new multipolar world.
[00:17:36] The charter on the eurasion. security and multipolarity in the
[00:17:39] 21st century is
[00:17:43] gaining momentum. i see the conference as very
[00:17:46] crucial uh so to say um
[00:17:50] event that finalized the results of all
[00:17:53] work done by broader experts,
[00:17:57] diplomats, NGOs in the sphere the
[00:18:00] international security. this is sort of
[00:18:04] finalizing event which gives us
[00:18:08] more optimism than before, there are not so many opportunities
[00:18:11] nowadays that provide platforms for a dialogue, for
[00:18:15] discussing issues that are open,
[00:18:18] mostly the conferences, the events that happen
[00:18:22] in some European countries, they are
[00:18:26] blocked for Russian participants and for those whom
[00:18:30] they consider to be inclining towards Russia, this one was absolutely
[00:18:33] open for everybody, senior officials including from Iran, Russia and
[00:19:07] repetition of slogans, discussions were also held on how emerging
[00:19:11] technologies shape Eurasian security. They will make this conference
[00:19:15] as an important platform of discussion
[00:19:18] of of variety of levels, culture, economics,
[00:19:22] politics, etc. of of
[00:19:25] your eurasian countries, and that
[00:19:29] is that is their decisiveness that impressed
[00:19:32] me in this conference. The conception of what
[00:19:35] eurasianism means. "I think,
[00:19:38] and I think that's also reflected in the conference, is an order
[00:19:42] which is economically and geopolitically very much opposed to the
[00:19:46] order proposed by Atlanticism. In February of this year, Russia, Iran,
[00:19:49] Belarus, North Korea and Myanmar began consultations on the development
[00:19:53] of eurasian charter of diversity and multipolarity in the 21st
[00:19:57] century. Iran has participated in every
[00:20:01] edition the Eurasian Security Conference since its
[00:20:05] launch four years ago." This active
[00:20:08] participation along with the signing the Charter of Eurasian
[00:20:12] security proves Iran's commitment to
[00:20:16] peaceful relations and regional
[00:20:19] cooperation despite continued threats
[00:20:23] and aggression stemming from western
[00:20:26] imperialist policies. Dita Ranish for Prest TV from
[00:20:30] Minsk.
[00:20:34] Thousands of injured Palestinians in Gaza left with left.
[00:20:37] without basic assistance devices and made the collapsed
[00:20:41] healthcare system and the ongoing Israeli blockade with will chair
[00:20:45] import restricted and market prices sorryn even everyday
[00:20:48] movement to become major struggle for families forced to carry
[00:20:52] their loved ones across devastated areas. Press TV's Mina
[00:20:56] Subur has
[00:20:57] report. The
[00:21:01] suffering of thousands of injured and sick Palestinians in Gaza is
[00:21:05] compounded by the Israeli bloccade that prevents the
[00:21:08] entry of wheelchairs and other assistive devices. Now
[00:21:12] will the story mirrors this painful reality. Having lost both
[00:21:16] legs in an air strike his life is now confined to remote
[00:21:20] tent, relying entirely on his wife for his daily
[00:21:24] needs, nabil awaits a wheelchair ease the heavy
[00:21:27] burden she carries every
[00:21:29] day. All I need right now is a
[00:21:33] prosthetic limb or a wheelchair to regain my mobility, but with the border
[00:21:37] crossings closed, nothing is coming in, and whatever is available in the market
[00:21:41] is far too expensive for me to afford. On top
[00:21:43] of that, living intense makes using a wheelchair extremely difficult because the roads
[00:21:47] are destroyed and the area is completely. unpaved. The wheelchair behind
[00:21:51] me is old, worn out and practically unusable. My wife is the one who
[00:21:55] carries me, helps me to the bathroom and takes care of all my daily
[00:21:58] needs. In another tragedy of displacement,

[00:22:23] 2024 when four missiles targeted the school where we were
[00:22:27] sheltering as displaced people.
[00:22:31] following his injury, header's mother secured a medical
[00:22:34] referral for him to travel abroad and receive a prostatic
[00:22:38] limp. the prostatic has become worn out and
[00:22:41] unusable, leaving him back at square one and in
[00:22:45] need of new assistive
[00:22:47] equipment. ly believe it when
[00:22:50] Hydar's medical evacuation referral came through, the ministry of health called me
[00:22:54] to arrange his travel to Egypt for treatment, accompanied by his
[00:22:58] grandmother. I have two other disabled children, they
[00:23:02] all desperately need wheelchairs, which are much more practical for them than
[00:23:06] prosthetic limbs, because
[00:23:07] they allow them to move around more
[00:23:08] easily.
[00:23:12] Navigating dirt roads littered with rebel and waste, a child
[00:23:16] debrived of a blay and an eldery person weakened by illness and...
[00:23:20] placement face the same harsh reality, unable to move
[00:23:24] without assistance, both depend on loved ones who
[00:23:27] carry them along this difficult bath every
[00:23:30] day. tv, gaza
[00:23:32] city.
[00:23:36] and that does it for this short bulletin oppressive. thank you so much for staying with us, we'll be
[00:23:40] back very shortly with more.
[00:23:42] goodbye.
[00:27:14] um, talking about the mainstream media, John, uh, one major source is the Wall Street
[00:27:18] Journal, let's change the subject, because they published a major piece
[00:27:22] on how Iran has battered and bruised US bases,
[00:27:26] caused mil billions in damage, I take it, you saw that piece, I saw it, I read it
[00:27:30] close, it was, well there you go, is a really
[00:27:33] revealing investigative piece of journalism that showed that
[00:27:37] um Iran that showed that um
[00:27:40] you know Iran inflicted billions of dollars in damage on
[00:27:43] American military installations the middle east um
[00:27:47] precise attacks on facilities housing American
[00:27:50] servicemen tell us more about this report what did you make of that John
[00:27:54] I mean what does it tell us about Iran's remaining military
[00:27:58] capabilities particularly you know it's missiles
[00:28:01] um and drone capabilities. Let me make a
[00:28:05] couple points, Tom. First of all, the basic
[00:28:08] story uh, as to the fact that
[00:28:11] Iran greatly damaged and
[00:28:15] destroyed most of our bases in the Persian
[00:28:19] Gulf region, was well-known, but what the Wall
[00:28:23] Street Journal does is that it provides lots of pictures
[00:28:26] and videos and it gives you fine grained
[00:28:30] analysis of what... exactly happened, it has
[00:28:34] numbers and as I said pictures and videos, so it's
[00:28:38] very helpful for fleshing out the story. The
[00:28:41] second point is it makes it very clear that the
[00:28:45] Iranians have a formidable capability.
[00:28:49] You want to remember that, as that Wall Street Journal
[00:28:53] piece makes clear, the U.S. government has gone to
[00:28:56] considerable lengths to prevent American
[00:29:00] journalists and to... bent an American senator, this is Chris
[00:29:04] Murphy, from actually inspecting the damage,
[00:29:08] because the military, the US military didn't want
[00:29:12] people to see how much damage had been done, and by
[00:29:16] the way, with regard to the saudis, if you watch them today, they're going to
[00:29:20] great lance to make sure that nobody really sees what
[00:29:24] the hooties are doing in terms of destroying
[00:29:27] Saudi infrastructure, and the Israelis did the same thing
[00:29:31] going back to... the 40-day war, it was almost impossible to get any
[00:29:35] pictures out of Israel as to what effect uh the
[00:29:38] Iranian ballistic missiles, drones and cruise missiles were
[00:29:42] having uh when they hit uh Israeli
[00:29:45] targets, and the reason there with regard to Israel and the
[00:29:49] reason with regard to Saudi Arabia and with regard
[00:29:51] to uh...
