[00:00:00] Perhaps the first thing that comes to mind is being famous for courage,
[00:00:04] steadfastness, and resistance. The symbol of this resistance
[00:00:08] and this courage
[00:00:10] is the fight against British colonialism.
[00:00:14] A person named Rais Ali Delvari.
[00:01:08] This is Rashidi Delvari's house. His room, these are old.
[00:01:12] Many times.
[00:01:15] With the start of the First World War, Raisali, who
[00:01:19] is now a strong young man, unites
[00:01:22] the local khans and headmen
[00:01:26] to confront colonialism.
[00:01:30] The British who entered Bushehr province. One
[00:01:33] of the raids that Rais Ali launched
[00:01:37] against the British forces was that one
[00:01:40] night they moved from Chogadak
[00:01:43] towards Tangak to kill
[00:01:46] the British.
[00:02:02] Raisali and six
[00:02:04] unions, farmers and opponents of of his companions, one of whom
[00:02:07] was Choolan. Choolan was a comrade
[00:02:10] and cousin of Rais Ali Delvari, who in
[00:02:14] this battle and raid killed 11
[00:02:18] of the British commanders and generals.
[00:02:21] they killed
[00:02:23] them.
[00:02:36] Given that Choolan was one of Raisali
[00:02:40] Delvari's fighters, after the martyrdom
[00:02:43] of Raisali Delvari, he was pursued by British forces
[00:02:46] until World War II. In World War
[00:02:50] II, the British again occupied
[00:02:54] parts of Iran. The remaining
[00:02:57] companions of Raisali for the expulsion
[00:03:00] of the British from the southern provinces to the
[00:03:04] Tang-e Balhiyat Shiraz. Choolan,
[00:03:07] Raisali's cousin and comrade,
[00:03:11] also participates in this battle and they push the British
[00:03:14] back to Khuzestan
[00:03:17] province, Ahvaz, and Abadan.
[00:03:20] they are retreating.
[00:03:35] After the British were driven back, a number of
[00:03:39] Tangsir people settled there by the Arvand
[00:03:42] River, and Choolan also rebuilt his life
[00:03:45] in Khazalabad village, Arvandkenar.
[00:03:49] Choolan's main job
[00:03:52] in Khazalabad and Arvandkenar
[00:03:55] was fishing. fishing.
[00:03:58] was.
[00:04:09] Years after Shoolan, a grandson was born
[00:04:12] named Alireza.
[00:04:15] Alireza Tangsiri.
[00:04:52] When Iraq was under naval
[00:04:55] blockade, he played the biggest
[00:04:59] role in protecting
[00:05:01] our border because the Americans
[00:05:05] and British were stationed there and did not allow
[00:05:08] them to enter our waters by an inch.
[00:05:11] They were very zealous and very
[00:05:14] anti-British, like their ancestor Rais Ali
[00:05:18] Delvari. I always told him that this anti-British
[00:05:22] sentiment is in your blood. Well, that incident
[00:05:26] with the British who had come with their
[00:05:29] vessels into the northern waters of the Persian
[00:05:32] Gulf, and when they had
[00:05:34] entered
[00:05:37] our territorial waters, they were immediately
[00:05:39] arrested by Commander Tangsiri
[00:05:43] and his colleagues and comrades.
[00:06:01] Allahu Akbar!
[00:06:31] On this very Delvar coast, he captures the invading British forces and ties their hands.
[00:06:34] Several years later, you see
[00:06:37] Sardar Alireza Tangisiri,
[00:06:40] who also played a commanding role
[00:06:44] like Rais Ali, capturing the invading British forces.
[00:06:47] Well, he inherited this from Rais Ali, didn't he?
[00:07:10] Sardseir said that there
[00:07:12] must be an order from the General Staff of the Armed Forces to release
[00:07:16] them. Finally, government officials contacted the General Staff
[00:07:20] of the Armed Forces. The British
[00:07:22] ambassador came to the third region,
[00:07:26] to the place they had specified, and the
[00:07:29] British ambassador bowed before Sardar Tangsiri.
[00:07:32] he bowed.
[00:07:36] Sardar Tangsiri came
[00:07:38] in 1370
[00:07:40] to the first naval district of the IRGC
[00:07:44] as the operational commander. One of Sardar Tangsiri's organizational
[00:07:47] and structural characteristics has been his macroscopic and strategic
[00:07:51] view, always having a strategic perspective on issues. In the missile
[00:07:55] discussion, Sardar paid close attention to several points, one of which was precision targeting.
[00:08:12] One is speed of action, meaning he said that it should be solid
[00:08:16] fuel so that it can be immediately ready and installed
[00:08:20] on the vessel, or our coastal
[00:08:36] missiles shone brightly in this recent imposed
[00:08:39] war. That is, in the smart
[00:08:43] blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, these
[00:08:46] missiles and these drones that the Navy built
[00:08:49] played a fundamental role. When the Ramadan war was imposed
[00:08:53] on us and we entered the war,
[00:08:56] with the decision of the government that
[00:09:00] Mr. Tangsiri was the powerful executor of this section,
[00:09:03] they closed the Strait of Hormuz, not for the people
[00:09:07] of the world, but for the aggressors and those who asked for too much.
[00:09:10] In the name of God.
[00:09:22] Our dear قائد and leader Imam Khamenei, in line with the maritime sovereignty of the
[00:09:25] Persian Gulf and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:09:29] we witnessed the destruction of the American
[00:09:31] oil tanker. Victory from God and
[00:09:35] a near victory.
[00:09:39] Go! Ah
[00:10:14] He said it was no joke that we would come and close a strait and humiliate
[00:10:18] a superpower. We said that if you cause mischief, we will close
[00:10:21] the Strait of Hormuz, and you said no, you are not in a position to close
[00:10:25] this Strait of Hormuz, but we showed the world that we closed it,
[00:10:29] and they couldn't open it. This is very
[00:10:32] important. The whole world, friends and enemies, all foreign media,
[00:10:35] especially the hostile ones, came and admitted it themselves. If we look
[00:10:39] at the media, it is completely evident that another Rais Ali Delvari
[00:10:42] has been born and is creating
[00:10:46] an epic. Rais
[00:10:48] Ali bushehr was poor, don't let England
[00:10:52] move towards the interior. Commander.
[00:11:30] They saw the missile, drone, and naval
[00:11:33] power of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary
[00:11:37] Guard Corps), and how
[00:11:39] it could push back
[00:11:43] the so-called powerful American army.
[00:11:46] From the first day of the war, he himself directly
[00:11:50] controlled the missile,
[00:11:53] the vessel,
[00:11:55] and the drone, knowing where, how, and at what
[00:11:59] time to carry out operations.
[00:12:18] O Fatimah al-Zahra, O Fatimah
[00:12:21] al-Zahra, O Fatimah al-Zahra.
[00:13:14] Both for blockading the Strait of Hormuz
[00:13:18] and for confronting American
[00:13:21] bases, and for planning the continuation
[00:13:25] of the war, they were all in control. They were in contact
[00:13:28] with their commanders one by one and gave
[00:13:32] them the necessary orders. They were not
[00:13:35] idle in this field
[00:13:38] for even one hour.
[00:13:47] We stand with full might against
[00:13:50] any enemy who wants to ignite a fire, until
[00:13:53] the last person and the last.
[00:13:59] We stand firm, and once again we will show the global
[00:14:03] hegemonic system and America at its head
[00:14:06] that here, unlike other countries and places
[00:14:09] where you have gone and made a quick landing, I don't know, occupied for a few
[00:14:13] hours and achieved your goals,
[00:14:16] this is Iran, and Iranians, and Islamic Iran will not allow
[00:14:20] you to achieve even one of your desires. America
[00:14:24] and history have shown
[00:14:26] that while they start wars,
[00:14:30] they will end them.
[00:14:34] The end of the war is with us.
[00:15:03] Alireza Tangsiri's courage, his fighting spirit,
[00:15:07] his anti-arrogance, his fight against foreigners, his fight
[00:15:11] against aggressors who attack his land,
[00:15:14] all these qualities are inherited from Raisali, from
[00:15:17] the school of martyr Raisali Delvari. In any
[00:15:20] case, he is
[00:15:23] his son. He says that we are the children
[00:15:26] of Delvar, the children of Raisali.
[00:15:28] I am.
[00:16:25] In a saga of resilience against overwhelming odds,
[00:16:29] delve into the gripping struggle of the Yemany forces as they
[00:16:32] confront the largest naval coalition in
[00:16:35] history.
[00:16:41] This powerful documentary highlights their unwavering commitment
[00:16:44] to justice in the face of adversity, revealing the
[00:16:48] human spirit's triumph over darkness.
[00:17:38] Across France a student protest movement has grown into a
[00:17:42] nationwide challenge to the
[00:17:43] government
[00:17:46] and the police response is raising serious questions about the country's
[00:17:50] commitment to civil
[00:17:51] liberties.
[00:17:58] On October 31st, hundreds of thousands of mostly
[00:18:01] young demonstrators took to the streets for a third consecutive
[00:18:05] weekend.
[00:18:09] protesting the cost of living and the state of
[00:18:11] education.
[00:18:15] around 70,000 police officers and gendarms were
[00:18:18] deployed while marches in Paris were pushed to the outskirts of the
[00:18:22] capital.
[00:18:26] Ibrahim Benati, a student activist with the student trade union
[00:18:30] federation, is among those demanding
[00:18:32] change.
[00:18:37] the protest, there has been completely disproportionate and horrific violence
[00:18:41] carried out by the police on the orders of the regime. this violence comes after more than
[00:18:45] four weeks of revolt by high school students, university students and some
[00:18:49] sections of the working class. these uprisings are not insignificant, they are
[00:18:52] a sign of the crisis of capitalism, they are sign of the crisis of this
[00:18:56] system. the movement began with a school strike in
[00:18:59] crat, southeast of Paris. on september
[00:19:02] 17th, teachers at Antoine deszupeeri high school walked
[00:19:06] out over staff short. students and parents joined them,
[00:19:10] blocking the school entrance. images of the action spread
[00:19:13] online, inspiring protests across the country. four days
[00:19:17] later, pupils were calling for more teachers, smaller classes,
[00:19:21] and safer, better maintained buildings. demonstrations soon
[00:19:24] spread to Lyon, Marseille, Paris, and other
[00:19:27] cities, with students also denouncing overcrowded
[00:19:30] classrooms, exhausting schedules and the opaque university
[00:19:34] admissions platform,
[00:19:37] three weeks ago we witnessed demonstration in the fifth arrondissement where we went to support our
[00:19:41] comrades at Sorboun University. The police kettled us for nearly 30 minutes. We were
[00:19:45] beaten with batones and several of us were injured. The police fired teargas grenades at point blank
[00:19:49] range at students who are demanding just one thing: dignity. All we are demanding
[00:19:53] is funding for our universities, funding for our high schools and above all an end to a system
[00:19:56] that leads to crisis, death and
[00:19:59] exploitation.
[00:20:01] Behind the demonstrations lies a public education system under mounting
[00:20:05] strain. High school classes average around. around 30 students
[00:20:08] and nearly one in five has between 35 and
[00:20:11] 39. At the start of the 2026 to
[00:20:14] 2027 school year, more than half of France's middle and
[00:20:18] high schools were missing at least one teacher. The previous school
[00:20:22] year saw more than 19 million hours of secondary education
[00:20:25] go untaught, largely because there were not enough substitute
[00:20:29] teachers. Low pay and growing threats against
[00:20:33] staff have made recruitment
[00:20:34] harder.
[00:20:37] The buildings themselves are also deteriorating, fewer than
[00:20:41] 15% have been renovated over the past
[00:20:43] decade.
[00:20:46] Many lack air conditioning, insulation, or even adequate. but
[00:20:50] shape, leaving students to sit exams in overheated
[00:20:53] classrooms.
[00:20:57] conditions are often worse in poorer neighborhoods, including immigrant
[00:21:01] heavy areas such as cratail.
[00:21:04] students also face long school days and gaps in their time
[00:21:07] tables.
[00:21:12] despite France's relatively high spending on secondary
[00:21:15] education, it students recorded their lowest
[00:21:18] results in maths. science and reading in the
[00:21:21] 2025 Peter assessment since the survey began in
[00:21:24] 2000.
[00:21:27] For many young people, the crisis reflects a wider generational
[00:21:30] divide. They see a government prioritizing older voters
[00:21:34] while youth unemployment remains high and pensions consume a
[00:21:38] significant share of public resources. I was also
[00:21:41] present during the high school blockades in the suburbs of Paris where police officers attacked us with
[00:21:45] batons striking us all over our bodies. They also deployed tier gas grenades
[00:21:48] against us which explode. near our legs while we were simply campaigning for our rights as
[00:21:52] students.
[00:21:55] i was also victim of police violence on October 17th, when i was brutally
[00:21:59] beaten with batons by police officers. they violently threw me to the
[00:22:02] ground. the way we were beaten by the police, simply because we demanded dignity,
[00:22:05] because we asked for more funding and for decent living conditions rather than the
[00:22:09] appalling conditions in which we currently live, conditions that generations of
[00:22:13] people have endured for decades is
[00:22:15] unacceptable.
[00:22:17] by october, the protests had spread to more than of France's
[00:22:20] roughly 3,700 high schools, drawing hundreds of
[00:22:24] thousands into the streets.
[00:22:28] What began as a campaign for better schools had become an expression of wider anger
[00:22:32] over economic hardship, failing public services and a future
[00:22:35] many young people feel is slipping away.
[00:22:38] Teachers,
[00:22:42] parents, university students and left-wing politicians joined
[00:22:46] in.
[00:22:50] On October 17th, trade
[00:22:54] the rising cost of living added their voices, evoking the yellow
[00:22:57] vests movement. A poll earlier that month found that
[00:23:01] 55% of respondents supported the
[00:23:04] protests.
[00:23:06] With no central leadership or program, the movement is held together
[00:23:10] by a shared sense that the authorities are not
[00:23:12] listening.
[00:23:18] The government's acknowledgement. that students concerns are legitimate did little
[00:23:22] ease tensions.
[00:23:25] Instead, the police response became a central focus of the arrest.
[00:23:40] As clashes intensified on October 17th, authorities
[00:23:43] imposed security restrictions and curfews and carried out mass
[00:23:47] arrests. Videos showing officers ass teenage
[00:23:50] demonstrators spread online. Official figures
[00:23:53] cited in the draft report, thousands of arrests and detentions, most
[00:23:57] involving miners.
[00:24:00] Today we have witnessed truly horrific acts of violence. Two people were killed during
[00:24:04] protests on October 17th and 18. Dozens of high school students have been
[00:24:07] blinded or lost their hands, dozens of protesters have suffered fractures as a result of
[00:24:11] police baton blows. I was personally subjected to police violence during the
[00:24:14] demonstration on October 17th. As I was making my way home, I was thrown to the
[00:24:18] ground by police officers. motorcycles who began beating me on the head and body
[00:24:22] for absolutely no reason. I sustained injuries to my head and abdomen, I was
[00:24:26] simply taking the metro to get home. We can see that high school
[00:24:29] students have been blinded. One high school student had his teeth smashed following point
[00:24:33] blank rubber bullet shot fired by the police. These are the things we must denounce
[00:24:36] and fight against living conditions. And the government's response to our demands is
[00:24:40] batton blows, rubber bullet fire and the deployment of repressive forces
[00:24:44] a scale that has never been seen before in this
[00:24:46] country.
[00:24:50] "the treatment of young demonstrators has raised a further
[00:24:52] question: are France's authorities respecting the
[00:24:56] rights of
[00:24:57] children?
[00:25:00] miners have the same right to peaceful assembly as adults and are entitled
[00:25:04] to additional protection from state
[00:25:06] violence.
[00:25:14] yet at place de la republique police were accused of trapping
[00:25:18] protesters without clear information. or safe roots out, then
[00:25:21] using tear
[00:25:22] gas.
[00:25:26] videos collected by street press reportedly show officers beating
[00:25:30] people as they tried to flee and leaving injured demonstrators on the ground.
[00:25:44] there are also concerns about the detention of
[00:25:47] miners.
[00:25:52] In Bubine, children were reportedly held in cold
[00:25:55] conditions without mattresses, despite international and European
[00:25:59] standards that say detention should be last result.
[00:26:11] Journalists covering the protests have also been
[00:26:13] targeted. Reporters without borders documented at least
[00:26:17] 12 attacks by early October, half allegedly involving
[00:26:21] police. In one incident, a Wall Street
[00:26:25] Journal photographer was hit in the ear by a rubber bullet fired at
[00:26:28] close range. There has always been violence during previous social movement.
[00:26:32] but this movement is facing a truly unprecedented level of violence. in
[00:26:36] previous social movements, there were number of arrests and people being taken into police
[00:26:40] custody. today, however, we are facing a state-led policy of
[00:26:43] repression, which is part of a broader process of the growing reactionary
[00:26:46] shift within the bourgeois state. today, people who took a carton of milk from a
[00:26:50] shop on October 17th are now sleeping in prison.
[00:26:54] this had never happened before. even during the riots following the police killing of the young
[00:26:57] nahel, the repression was not as violent. even in the aftermath of the attacks
[00:27:01] in Palestine when demonstrations were held against the genocide in Palestine, there was
[00:27:05] repression, including arbitrary searches and raids, but it was not as aggressive.
[00:27:09] Today we are witnessing repression that is becoming increasingly aggressive and
[00:27:12] increasingly
[00:27:13] severe.
[00:27:18] Today we know that the regime is trying to intimidate us by implementing a policy of
[00:27:22] terror. This policy has taken the form of helicopter deployments over place de la
[00:27:26] republique, the imposition of a curfew, the deployment of facial recognition drones at
[00:27:29] demonstrations as well as announcements by Gerald Darman and phones would be placed under
[00:27:33] surveillance, none of this will stop us from fighting, and we will continue until
[00:27:37] victory. This is what we reaffirm every day. We are the youth of the crisis, to speak out, and
[00:27:41] above all, denounce the police violence, to speak out, and above all, denounce the police
[00:27:45] violence we have witnessed against high school students, university students and
[00:27:48] demonstrators during the protest we have
[00:27:50] organized.
[00:27:54] From teenagers, gravely injured by police weapons to miners
[00:27:58] reportedly held in degrading conditions, and journalists
[00:28:01] attacked while document. events, the crackdown has
[00:28:04] become inseparable from the protests
[00:28:06] themselves.
[00:28:10] The question facing France is no longer only how it will respond to a
[00:28:14] generation demanding better schools and living conditions, but
[00:28:17] whether it will uphold the rights and freedoms it claims to defend.

[00:30:14] as trade unions mobilized workers against rising living
[00:30:17] cost and government austerity measures.
[00:30:38] Everyone, welcome to press tv world news live from tehan with me
