[00:00:29] of of a Also in our headlines, France faces another day
[00:00:33] of nationwide strikes and protests as trade unions mobilize
[00:00:37] workers against rising living costs and government austerity
[00:00:40] measures.
[00:00:52] Hello and welcome everybody, it's 4:30 p.m. here in the Iranian capital, Tehran.
[00:00:56] You're watching Press TV's world
[00:00:57] of news. of Our top story senior. Commander
[00:01:00] of the Islamic Revolution Guards Core says Iran's arm forces are fully prepared
[00:01:04] to deliver decisive response to any hostile
[00:01:07] of action. The commander
[00:01:08] of the IRGC's ground forces brigadier general Muhammad Kadami made the
[00:01:12] remarks during the visit to Persian Gulf Islands and military
[00:01:16] units stationed there. He said Iran
[00:01:19] de stands firm against its adversaries
[00:01:21] de and will naci commander also expressed confidence at commander also
[00:01:25] expressed confidence at Iran and the resistance
[00:01:28] front will prevail. His remarks come amid renewed US threats
[00:01:32] of aggression against Iran, Iranian officials have warned that any attack would
[00:01:36] of trigger immediate and forceful response with no
[00:01:40] geographical
[00:01:43] of of of limits. Another oil tanker has caught
[00:01:46] fire and the straight of hormos after
[00:01:49] of attempting to cross unauthorized routes and striking sea
[00:01:53] a mines.
[00:01:53] of According to a
[00:01:54] of statement by Iran's army, the violating oil tanker had switched
[00:01:57] off all navigation and position. systems while attempting to
[00:02:01] cross the unsafe root east
[00:02:04] of the straight of hormos. The statement comes just hours after Iran's Islamic
[00:02:08] Revolution Guards Core announced that two oil tankers caught fire
[00:02:12] south
[00:02:12] of the straight of hormos after attempting to use unauthorized roots. The
[00:02:16] IRGC accused United States of pressuring ships to use
[00:02:20] unauthorized mine laden routes in the strategic waterway. It said
[00:02:23] this policy is imposing huge insurance costs on American taxpayers
[00:02:27] and Washington's regional allies.
[00:02:31] a We were earlier joined by our colleague
[00:02:35] Farzan
[00:02:36] of Ashuriun who said the US president Donald Trump has suffered setbacks both at
[00:02:40] home and on the battlefield in the war on Iran as Tehran
[00:02:44] continues to maintain control over the straight of
[00:02:46] hormos. This
[00:02:50] recent report basically shows that how the
[00:02:54] United States and specifically the US president Donald
[00:02:57] Trump has been
[00:02:59] of de of defeated and humiliated as we had in the
[00:03:02] news uh both in the politics in
[00:03:06] the midterm elections in uh
[00:03:10] home and of course it has faced
[00:03:13] another defeat and it is still facing very strong
[00:03:17] blow from Iran's armed forces on the
[00:03:21] battlefield, the reality uh Zainab is
[00:03:24] that you know
[00:03:26] of what US president and the US
[00:03:29] in government is b' basically doing try to challenge uh Iran's
[00:03:33] control over the straight of homose basically
[00:03:35] warsens the situation for the
[00:03:39] American people and the more they try to challenge
[00:03:43] Iran's authority
[00:03:46] of uh the uh worse uh the situation gets for everyone not not
[00:03:50] only of course in the United States but also in other
[00:03:54] parts
[00:03:54] of the
[00:03:54] world. The
[00:03:58] United States has renewed it. threats to launch new aggression against
[00:04:02] Iran, prompting Tehran to warn of a stronger
[00:04:05] response with no geographical limits if attacks its
[00:04:08] territory resume. Press TV's correspondents spoke with several Iraqi
[00:04:12] journalists to hear their views on Washington's threats, particularly
[00:04:16] following the Republican significant setbacks in Tuesday's
[00:04:20] elections.
[00:04:24] The war on Iran was one
[00:04:25] of the main
[00:04:25] a reasons behinds the crushing defeat
[00:04:27] of the Republicans in the US mid-term elections. Following this
[00:04:31] major setback for President Donald Trump and his Republican
[00:04:34] of Party, I think he may resort to
[00:04:36] a reckless move by carrying out a limited nuclear strike against
[00:04:40] Iran. Such move would put all American interests across the
[00:04:44] region at risk. The Islamic Republic is certainly prepared on
[00:04:48] security, logistical and military fronts. Statements by
[00:04:51] Iranian officials and military
[00:04:53] of commanders have made it clear that any attack would be met with a forceful
[00:04:56] response.
[00:04:58] of Iran has a list of targets. And under the directives of its
[00:05:01] leadership, numerous American interests and facilities across the
[00:05:05] region are identified as potential targets. If the United States makes
[00:05:09] the reckless decision to launch nuclear strike,
[00:05:12] even a...
[00:05:12] attack
[00:05:19] on Iran would be reckless and carry enormous
[00:05:23] risks affecting regions outside West Asia. It could open the door to the
[00:05:27] use of weapons of mass destruction elsewhere in the world and trigger
[00:05:31] a wider and more dangerous global arms race. This could push the world
[00:05:34] towards an unprecedented catastrophe. Trump's electoral setback could be
[00:05:38] one the factors behind a decision to take such a step. I believe there. is a
[00:05:42] possibility that Trump could pursue this course of action, he has demonstrated a
[00:05:46] highly confrontational approach, and pressure from Israeli prime minister
[00:05:50] Benjamin Netanyahu could also play a role in influencing such
[00:05:54] decision. I
[00:05:58] believe neighboring countries would be among the first to bear the consequences of another
[00:06:02] attack on Iran, with the Persian Gulf states particularly vulnerable
[00:06:06] to its fallout. For now, the scenario appears to revolve around
[00:06:10] threats and the use of military pressure. However, I find it difficult
[00:06:14] to imagine that Trump would go as far as authorizing nuclear strike,
[00:06:18] as such decision could have far-reaching consequences for the United States and
[00:06:22] its position in the
[00:06:22] world.
[00:06:27] Iran's parliament speaker is seized on remarks by US vice president
[00:06:31] J.D. Vans, linked the war on Iran to Republican losses in the
[00:06:35] recent midterm elections. Muhammad questioned why Vance does not
[00:06:39] deliver the same message directly to President Donald. Trump dates
[00:06:43] as losing gambler who refuses to leave the dates as losing gambler who
[00:06:47] refuses to leave the he warned that as Trump prepares for new he
[00:06:50] warned that as Trump prepares for new phase the war,
[00:06:54] Washington risks putting Israeli interests ahead of American
[00:06:57] priorities despite growing economic pressures at home.
[00:07:01] Iran's parliament speaker also referred to high energy prices as
[00:07:05] result the closure the uh hormo straight, he
[00:07:08] mentioned, a tweet by US vice president J.D. Vanson which...
[00:07:13] he listed four steps to win back voters, ending the war in
[00:07:16] Iran, focusing on the cost of living and inflation, putting America
[00:07:20] first and changing the country's relationship with Israel. Republicans
[00:07:24] lost the control of both houses of congress in Tuesday's
[00:07:27] elections.
[00:07:32] Political commentator Marcy Wiinagrad says Trump is facing growing public
[00:07:36] opposition as Democrats sweeping election victories expose
[00:07:39] declining support for his policies. and uh few calls
[00:07:43] within the party to cut funding for the war on
[00:07:46] Iran. I think
[00:07:50] the latest poll show that maybe one out of three
[00:07:53] support him, I would question that as a high number.
[00:07:57] It's probably less than that. As we saw last night, landslide
[00:08:01] victory, a blue tsunami, blue being democrats, not
[00:08:05] just elevating democrats to
[00:08:08] leadership in congress, the US house and Senate, but across the...
[00:08:12] states and state legislatures, so I think the
[00:08:16] writing is on the wall, the public in the United States
[00:08:20] wants this war to end now, and now the
[00:08:24] democrats are in in some conflict
[00:08:27] over what
[00:08:28] to do next, because there are two progressives,
[00:08:32] I'm speaking specifically of Congressman Rokana in the house, I'm speaking
[00:08:36] of senator Van Hollan from Maryland in the Senate who want
[00:08:40] vote December. to cut off funding
[00:08:44] for this war on Iran, and what I'm reading on
[00:08:48] Twitter, on X is that Schumer, who is
[00:08:51] the, minority leader right now in the Senate, but will
[00:08:55] be, unless he's challenged, he will be the leader the Senate
[00:08:59] come January, and that he wants to put the vote off until
[00:09:03] after January, whether that's logistical because he thinks then
[00:09:07] they'll have better chance of cutting off funds, or if it's or if
[00:09:11] there's another reason, I don't know.
[00:09:15] US Republican Congressman Thomas Massy has filed eight articles of
[00:09:19] impeachment against war secretary Pete Hegseth. Massi says he plans to
[00:09:23] force house vote on the impeachment proceedings in the coming days. The move
[00:09:27] comes as Republicans seek to blame Hagseth for their mid-term election
[00:09:31] losses. Some party members say he played a key role in
[00:09:35] convincing President Donald Trump to attack Iran without clear exit
[00:09:39] strategy or plans to deal with the political fallout.
[00:09:42] Trump has repeatedly defended at rejecting calls to replace him on
[00:09:46] Wednesday and saying the war secretary is doing a good
[00:09:50] job. Trump also has acknowledged Hegsetth his role in backing
[00:09:54] the war, describing him as the first member of his administration to
[00:09:57] support the aggression. Democrats for their part have vowed to investigate
[00:10:01] Hegset's leadership at the Pentagon. The inquiry could cover his
[00:10:05] handling the war on Iran as well as his removal of senior military
[00:10:09] officials, including the chairman the joint chiefs of staff.
[00:10:16] France faces nationwide wave of strikes and protests is
[00:10:19] trade unions mobilized workers against rising living costs
[00:10:23] and government austerity. measures the demonstrations brought together
[00:10:27] workers, high school and university students who have been protesting
[00:10:31] deteriorating school conditions, overcrowded classrooms and
[00:10:35] inadequate facilities, ahead the strikes
[00:10:38] france security and freeze public sector salaries. the
[00:10:42] latest mobilization comes as president's
[00:10:46] government struggles to push an austerity
[00:10:48] budget uh through divided parliament with public debt
[00:10:52] approaching 120% the countries. economic
[00:10:55] output,
[00:11:00] for more updates on the situation in France, we're now joined by our correspondent Sid
[00:11:04] Alazar who's with us from the French capital,
[00:11:07] Paris, great to have you with us, first of all,
[00:11:11] just tell us where you are and what's going on behind
[00:11:13] you, oh, thank you very much, we're right
[00:11:17] now in the middle and the heart the big marf
[00:11:21] today, this is the second half the big mobilization that...
[00:11:25] started with a general strike across all the sectors,
[00:11:28] private and public. this is the second half
[00:11:32] the day where all those components, all those social
[00:11:35] formations, nurses, workers, private
[00:11:38] sector, public sector, they're all here united
[00:11:42] to leave from the place la république to the place la
[00:11:46] nation, marching with repeating
[00:11:50] different slogans against the high cost of
[00:11:54] living. against the
[00:11:56] decreasing purchase power,
[00:12:00] against the pratality the police, against poverty against the
[00:12:04] budget of austerity, as you can see behind me here, there are drums, there are
[00:12:08] whistles, the ambiance is its
[00:12:11] speak, um, the
[00:12:14] one slogans being raised is, we are here, we are here,
[00:12:17] we are all for the general strike, this is just
[00:12:21] starting right now,
[00:12:23] it is supposed to...
[00:12:41] again also this week there was this debate of where
[00:12:45] to protest and how to protest, the original path
[00:12:49] was from bastid to concord near the
[00:12:52] national assembly near the french parliament. but again the police
[00:12:56] is pushing the demonstrations away from
[00:13:00] the monuments and away from the political
[00:13:03] institutions, so um, it's just
[00:13:07] starting right now, and we will see how this day will
[00:13:10] unfold. also, if the cameraman can can can show
[00:13:14] you, this marsh is all incircled by
[00:13:18] heavy police presence on all the edges, we're
[00:13:21] here at the head the marge, we're not at the marge. but
[00:13:25] despite that police presence is everywhere, all
[00:13:29] the edges are encircled by police officers and even
[00:13:33] at the beginning there were some light clashes between
[00:13:36] demonstrators and policemen that they were contained, maybe
[00:13:40] we will expect more of that as the marsh moves
[00:13:43] towards
[00:13:44] the nation. so you mentioned the police
[00:13:48] presence and the heavy-handed tactics to crack
[00:13:52] down on the protesters, addition to the... uh
[00:13:55] nationwide curfews, are they actually making uh the uh the
[00:13:59] situation worse uh than it is? and let's also
[00:14:03] not forget to the the repression and the violation of civil
[00:14:06] liberties that we're seeing as well. of course, of course,
[00:14:10] mean so far since all this mobilization began,
[00:14:14] one minor had his hand torn out
[00:14:18] and another had his eye also um taken
[00:14:22] out, so the police pratality here in... france is
[00:14:26] its speak and um
[00:14:29] frenchmen are not demonstrating as they
[00:14:33] want just today just few minutes ago the
[00:14:37] police was pushing out demonstrators um out
[00:14:41] of certain streets and trying to contain them and encircle them into
[00:14:44] one delinated
[00:14:47] um um dedicated street pretty
[00:14:51] much every week pretty much every week the police i'm try
[00:14:55] repress the demonstrators, try to ban them
[00:14:58] from their constitutional right of protesting and of
[00:15:02] expressing themselves and we don't think this week will be
[00:15:06] an exception, especially that this week started very tense with the
[00:15:10] strike and it will maybe culminate more and more as
[00:15:14] the days goes on. said what about the political
[00:15:17] consequences? first of all, how will the
[00:15:21] protests and the out? "the the
[00:15:25] plausible outcomes over the next few months heading into that
[00:15:29] presidential election, will there be negotiated
[00:15:31] concessions,
[00:15:33] or uh, are we just looking a prolonged stalemate here? well, I
[00:15:37] mean..."
[00:15:37] I was, I was, I
[00:15:38] was just speaking
[00:15:39] a while ago to one the demonstrators and I was asking him, how
[00:15:43] do you think, how, how do you see this is ending, the
[00:15:47] strikes and the demonstration, and his answer was
[00:15:49] simple, he told me that it only ends if
[00:15:53] Macron leaves, whether by elections
[00:15:57] or whether by impeachment, so the failure
[00:16:01] the Macron government, I mean over the last two years, Macron
[00:16:04] appointed four governments, two them. uh with
[00:16:08] with one prime minister, four four governments,
[00:16:11] many um reacless policies and the people
[00:16:15] here seems to have had enough of macron, even though we
[00:16:19] only still have six mondles of him, so um indeed,
[00:16:23] I mean it's not looking good for the government, it's not looking good for him and
[00:16:27] the and the and and the momentum of opposition
[00:16:31] is rising uh up and up, all
[00:16:35] right we're going to leave it there, that was pressed
[00:16:37] to you said us from the french capital
[00:16:39] Parisan police have
[00:16:43] clash with demonstrators calling for the resignation of president
[00:16:46] Santiago amit growing anger over
[00:16:50] the collapse of wheno
[00:16:52] bank
[00:17:05] we demand an impeachment trial for. president and vice
[00:17:08] president, a proper trial must be held for the authorities
[00:17:11] responsible, those in the banking sector, the central bank
[00:17:15] and other officials. we demand the confiscation their
[00:17:19] assets, the return the workers money, and an end to them
[00:17:23] touching our funds. the
[00:17:26] protests erupted after the banker abruptly shut down, leaving millions of
[00:17:30] customers unable to access their savings. a day earlier,
[00:17:34] Paraguay Central Bank launched dissolution proceedings of against
[00:17:38] the lender, which reportedly has close ties to President
[00:17:41] Penya. The banking crisis is raised concerns about the fate of hundreds
[00:17:45] of millions of dollars in deposits, when a bank served more
[00:17:49] than 3 million clients and as of September counted
[00:17:53] roughly two-thirds of Paraguay's adult population among its
[00:17:57] customers. The bank has managed and estimated $850
[00:18:01] million dollars and international reports
[00:18:05] and UN briefings have long alleged that Yemen's tie cities
[00:18:08] under crippling humanitarian siege, claiming that the movement
[00:18:12] of goods and passengers into and out the city ceverly restricted, but
[00:18:16] what is really going on or what is uh the reality on the ground there? Press
[00:18:20] TV is reporting from Tai's examining conditions at the
[00:18:24] city's western entrance and investigating the situation at one of its main
[00:18:27] access points. Let's have look.
[00:18:31] Thais uh has been cut off. Un
[00:18:35] reports have echoed Saudi claims that sunrise imposing a cribbling
[00:18:39] season tires. Press TV visited the city's western gate to
[00:18:43] examine the actual flow of goods. Our footage shows trucks
[00:18:46] and other vehicles moving freely through the
[00:18:49] corridor. I transport wead into the
[00:18:53] city. There are no road problems or obstructions
[00:18:56] and we always pass safely. Official data
[00:19:00] shows that 754. 70% the
[00:19:04] city's water wells have been turned into combat zones.
[00:19:07] mercenaries, despite the fighting, yemen continues to
[00:19:11] bump water into the
[00:19:13] city. we haul water into tai
[00:19:17] city without any hurdles and there is no
[00:19:19] blockade. the road is
[00:19:22] fine. we go in and out daily with no
[00:19:25] issues. the road is open from 6 a.m. to 6
[00:19:29] p.m. and everything is fine. however, local
[00:19:33] authorities confirm the route remains open around the
[00:19:37] clock. The road is open
[00:19:41] 24 hours, but mercenaries target the root after 6 p.m.
[00:19:45] we don't close it. They shoot at passing civilians forcing
[00:19:48] people to take shelter with us until morning. We block nothing
[00:19:52] except weapons, while food, petrol and diesel are all allowed
[00:19:56] to pass. During our reporting,
[00:20:00] Saudi mercenaries gun shots echoed,
[00:20:04] underscoring the real threat to the route. claims a
[00:20:08] blockade on tai city, but standing its gate today, the
[00:20:11] reality speaks for itself, the road is fully open
[00:20:15] and the traffic is moving and the claims of an impost
[00:20:19] siege has proven to be hollow. Yahyazir, press
[00:20:23] tv, tires.
[00:20:27] Thousands of injured Palestinians in Gaz are left without basic
[00:20:30] assistive devices amit a collapsed healthcare system and the ongoing
[00:20:34] Israely blockade with wheelchair imports. restricted and
[00:20:38] market prices soaring even everyday movement has become a major struggle
[00:20:42] for families forced to carry their loved ones across devastated
[00:20:46] areas.
[00:20:47] press tv reports.
[00:20:52] The suffering of thousands of injured and sick Palestinians in Gaza is
[00:20:56] compounded by the Israeli blockade that prevents the
[00:20:59] entry of wheelchairs and other assistive devices. Nabil's
[00:21:03] story mirrors this painful reality, having lost both
[00:21:07] legs in an air strike, his life is now confined to remote
[00:21:11] tent, relying entirely on his wife for his daily
[00:21:14] needs. Nabil awaits a wheelchair ease the heavy
[00:21:18] burden she carries every.
[00:21:23] All I need right now is a prosthetic limb or a wheelchair to regain my
[00:21:26] mobility, but with the border crossings closed, nothing is coming in, and
[00:21:30] whatever is available
[00:21:31] in the market is far too expensive for
[00:21:33] me to afford. On top of that, living intense makes using a wheelchair
[00:21:37] extremely difficult because the roads are destroyed and the area is completely
[00:21:41] unpaved. The wheelchair behind me is old, worn out and practically
[00:21:44] unusable. My wife is the one who carries me, helps me to the bathroom and takes
[00:21:48] care of all my daily needs. In another tragedy of
[00:21:52] displacement, 10 year old Haidar lost his leg
[00:21:56] an air strike a school where he and his family had sought
[00:22:00] shilter. He had been playing in the schoolyard just
[00:22:03] moments before the missil truck killing and injuring
[00:22:07] thousands. I found my son hydar
