00:00:20Good day. Stay tuned for the 11 o'clock news
00:00:24from the News Network. The Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly emphasized that the Strait of Hormuz will not
00:00:28be opened until Iran's conditions are met. Mr. Ghalib, in
00:00:31his pre-order speech, questioned the dichotomy of war or
00:00:35negotiation and stressed that both fighting and
00:00:39negotiating are necessary. He reminded that the message and
00:00:42explanation of our conditions have been clearly conveyed to the other
00:00:45side through intermediaries. The Speaker of Parliament added that the enemy knows
00:00:49very well that the path of deception and one-sided imposition is closed, and until
00:00:53Iran's conditions are met, there will be no
00:00:56window for returning to the previous conditions of negotiation and the opening of the Strait
00:01:00of Hormuz. Mr. Ghalib stated that the resistance of the people, by
00:01:04shaping a new order in the region and the world, will
00:01:07lead to breakthroughs in economic and strategic fields.
00:01:11The Speaker of Parliament further emphasized,
00:01:14referring to being on the verge of the new academic
00:01:17year, "We will not allow the enemy's illusions
00:01:20to slow down the pulse of
00:01:24life, production, and knowledge in this land, because the unstoppable
00:01:27dynamism of schools is a manifestation of the
00:01:31defeat of the enemy's strategy to re-establish
00:01:33the conditions of suspension." The head of the National School
00:01:37Renovation Organization announced the start of construction work
00:01:40on schools damaged by the recent floods in Mazandaran province.
00:01:44Mr. Khanmohammadi also said that 470 school
00:01:47construction projects will be completed and ready for operation
00:01:50in the next few days. We have about 800 projects.
00:01:54400 of them, so to speak, will be finished by this Mehr
00:01:57(October). The rest, God willing, will be delivered
00:02:00next year. Next to every school that is
00:02:04being built, a board of trustees has been formed, consisting of
00:02:07local trustworthy people, benefactors, teachers,
00:02:10principals, parent-teacher associations, and these become their supporters. Even after
00:02:14they hand over the school to the students, they are still with
00:02:17the school.
00:02:20Tehran, Alborz, Qazvin, Razavi Khorasan,
00:02:24and Markazi are among the provinces that are still suffering
00:02:27from water stress. The spokesman
00:02:31of the water industry, stating that 35 million people in the country are still
00:02:34experiencing low rainfall, said that there are various predictions about the amount of
00:02:38autumn rainfall. However, the country still needs
00:02:42consumption management programs. Whenever
00:02:45El Niño has occurred, in
00:02:49some regions of our country, mostly in the southwest,
00:02:52north, and other areas of
00:02:56the country, we have had
00:02:59heavy rainfall and floods. But
00:03:02there have been years when we had El Niño and also
00:03:05drought. That is why we emphasize
00:03:08to our dear citizens
00:03:12that the occurrence of El Niño's effect on
00:03:15Iran is probabilistic.
00:03:18At the same time, we can have floods in some
00:03:21parts of our country, and also
00:03:24drought. Therefore, we should not resort
00:03:27to excessive consumption.
00:03:34More than 80 works by 64 illustrators from different cities of the country
00:03:37gathered in the group exhibition "Together for Iran."
00:03:40These works showcased different experiences and social solidarity during
00:03:44the imposed war at the Negarestan Baqi
00:03:48Ketab.
00:03:49The illustration exhibition
00:03:52"Together for Iran" addresses recent events and the life experiences
00:03:56of the Iranian people in.
00:04:06to narrate and immortalize, with a deep
00:04:09gaze and from a feminine perspective and from
00:04:13the family's perspective, they were able to depict the Iranian
00:04:16nation's mission and what
00:04:20they have created over the past six months. One of the
00:04:24ideas is that we should take this exhibition to the streets
00:04:27in squares where people gather at night. We will take
00:04:30it among them because these
00:04:33illustrators are part of the people. The works submitted to this exhibition present
00:04:37visual narratives of concepts such as homeland, steadfastness, resistance,
00:04:40courage, social solidarity, flag, war experiences,
00:04:43future, and hope.
00:04:46Since our leader was martyred
00:04:50and it coincided with the martyrdom of the Minab school
00:04:53children, I used this simultaneity
00:04:56and conveyed it in my image that the leader
00:05:00came for the children, and the children are flying with him
00:05:03towards the sky. I am a mother, and with the incident
00:05:07that happened to the children of Minab, I just wanted
00:05:11to take
00:05:13a small step in this direction. The theme
00:05:17of the funeral of the martyred leader and the narrative of the presence and
00:05:20solidarity of the people in bidding farewell to the heroes and martyrs
00:05:24of this land is also among the topics of interest
00:05:28to artists in this event.
00:05:32In this exhibition, more than 80 works by 64 illustrators
00:05:35from all over the country are on display
00:05:38at the Negarestan Ketab Garden in Tehran. Mehdi Sarbazi News.
00:05:48The Houthis took control of the Al-Khabl region, the center of Al-Qamah, after intense
00:05:51clashes on this front. According to media sources,
00:05:55Yemeni armed forces are about 35 kilometers from the city
00:05:59of Al-Turbah and are trying to cut off the last
00:06:02main supply route for Saudi-backed forces on the Taiz-
00:06:06Aden axis as they continue to advance towards the city. This
00:06:10advance is part of efforts to complete.
00:06:17Yemen consolidated its control over strategic heights south of Taiz. On the Bab al-Mandab
00:06:20axis, Yemeni forces also consolidated their control over the coastal strip, including
00:06:24Zubab, and began advancing eastwards into
00:06:27Lahj province. Following widespread drone attacks
00:06:31by Ukraine on the Russian capital, the landing of more
00:06:35than 30 planes at Moscow airports was disrupted. At the same
00:06:38time, the governor of Moscow announced the interception of 160
00:06:44during last night's attack on various regions of Russia, including
00:06:47450 drones towards the capital of this country.
00:06:50These drone attacks resulted in the death of one woman
00:06:54and the injury of five others, including two children. The fall
00:06:58of the remains of a drone also caused a fire on the roof
00:07:01of a residential building and the evacuation of about
00:07:03400 people.

00:09:28تاروم.
00:09:31Thank you for your attention and
00:09:32companionship.
00:09:54In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello to you and welcome to the special
00:09:58program "Battle of Hormuz." In this part of the program, we want to take a look
00:10:01at the nightly gatherings, the number of which
00:10:05has exceeded 23 nights. Many media outlets are
00:10:09talking about the presence of the Iranian people, and of course,
00:10:12the "Self-Sacrificers" exercise that was held a few days
00:10:16ago in Tehran had a widespread impact on various
00:10:19media. We want to talk about this presence of the people and the impact
00:10:23of the people's presence on the equations of war.
00:10:27Here in the studio, we are hosting Mr. Mahdian, a political
00:10:30analyst and CEO of the Hamshahri Institute. Mr.
00:10:34Mahdian, I greet you and welcome you. Hello and greetings to
00:10:38you. I congratulate you on the auspicious birth of Imam
00:10:41Hassan Askari. We also congratulate
00:10:44you and all dear viewers on this auspicious
00:10:48birth. Let's start with these nightly
00:10:51gatherings, which are now being viewed as an important
00:10:55social phenomenon not only by the media inside Iran but also outside
00:10:59Iran, and of course, their impact on the equations
00:11:02of war. You see,
00:11:06it can truly be said that all wars
00:11:10are decided by the resilience of the people. This
00:11:13is also a problem for the Americans themselves. Now,
00:11:16don't look at this Zionist regime. That
00:11:20is a wicked, criminal people who have no
00:11:24popular connection whatsoever. Although this has now become an issue
00:11:27for them too, it has serious importance
00:11:31for the Americans. That's why you see Trump saying, "If
00:11:35Republicans vote for me, I'll give $5,000 to each person."
00:11:38He actually wants to garner attention
00:11:42and support through aid
00:11:45because you know that their polls showed
00:11:48that only 30 to 35%
00:11:52support this war.
00:11:55That American senator pointed out a very
00:11:58important point, and that was
00:12:02that what Iran did
00:12:04was to bring the war into the lives
00:12:08of the American people for the first time.
00:12:11That American senator says that in the last 10 wars, people
00:12:15only heard about the war from the media. But
00:12:19this is the first time they feel the war in their pockets. This
00:12:23strategy and this war
00:12:28bring the war to the tables of Westerners and Americans, affecting their leaders'
00:12:31decisions. However, this is exactly the
00:12:35opposite in our case, and that is that
00:12:39the more popular resilience there is, the more
00:12:42successful you can be in war.
00:12:45Popular gatherings are exactly the manifestation
00:12:48and embodiment of this. This popular power,
00:12:52meaning this popular cohesion, this high
00:12:55popular resilience, what does it do? Its most
00:12:58important function is to transform individual anxieties, stress,
00:13:02and worries into a collective experience. This collective
00:13:05experience creates a collective life, creates a
00:13:09collective ritual, and this itself has a significant
00:13:12impact on social capital. And
00:13:16that's how you look at it and see that 75%
00:13:20of the people, despite being under economic pressure,
00:13:23say that in any way possible, they must preserve
00:13:27the Strait of Hormuz. Put the number 75 against
00:13:31the 65% who opposed the war
00:13:34in America and condemned Trump's policies, or
00:13:38if you look, you see that nearly 35 million people are
00:13:41self-sacrificers. You see, a self-sacrificer is not just a supporter.
00:13:45A self-sacrificer means I am willing to
00:13:48pay the price for what I support. That's a step further.
00:13:51I heard from these officials, the people
00:13:55in charge of this issue, that many were
00:13:58protesting, "We came to give our lives to defend our country,
00:14:02so why aren't you taking action? Why aren't you planning?" Therefore,
00:14:06this is its importance. So we must pay attention that it is
00:14:09at the point of resilience that the war is decided,
00:14:12and here, popular gatherings
00:14:15are a symbol of this high popular
00:14:18resilience. One point that is being discussed
00:14:21about the "Self-Sacrificers," especially by Arab analysts
00:14:25on various networks, is that the number of
00:14:29self-sacrificers has reached over
00:14:3232 million people. 32 million people,
00:14:35as you said, who are willing to sacrifice their lives
00:14:38and be present on the battlefield. This
00:14:41readiness they have declared is being compared to
00:14:44the populations of many countries in the region,
00:14:47and they say that the number of Iranian
00:14:51self-sacrificers actually exceeds the entire population
00:14:55of several of Iran's neighboring countries. Yes,
00:14:58you see, this doesn't happen overnight. This 40-something
00:15:02year legacy, which is actually created with the wisdom of the
00:15:06Imam of the community, our martyred Imam
00:15:09and the late Imam, the leadership that takes
00:15:13place, the upbringing that happens, gradually creates this
00:15:16power where an individual realizes that the main
00:15:20issue now is their land, the main issue is defending their country.
00:15:23For many people around the world, these things are simply
00:15:27incomprehensible. That's why you can put this against Trump,
00:15:30who brings up the $5,000, meaning he wants to gain
00:15:34support through charity. The difference between these
00:15:37is a difference that is not purely ideological,
00:15:40it is a completely cultural difference
00:15:43that has deep identity roots. This is why
00:15:47you see people don't calculate the Strait of Hormuz to see
00:15:51how much income it generates. They consider the Strait of Hormuz
00:15:54an identity asset.
00:15:57The Supreme Leader, on the anniversary
00:16:01of what I believe was the Persian Gulf message, specifically mentioned this in that
00:16:05message. He said, "The Strait of Hormuz
00:16:08is our identity asset." One point
00:16:12that is raised about these nightly gatherings
00:16:15and the widespread presence of people since the beginning of the war,
00:16:19even under bombardment, people were present and did not really
00:16:22leave the scene and the battlefield, is that
00:16:25after all, this presence of the people must be properly
00:16:29utilized and organized. We had the "Self-Sacrificers"
00:16:32exercise in Tehran a few days ago, which was met
00:16:35with an enthusiastic reception.
00:16:38It is planned to be held in other cities and locations as
00:16:42well. In your opinion, how can this popular
00:16:45potential, where people are so committed to their
00:16:49country, be utilized in various fields?
00:16:52To answer this question, I first want to say
00:16:56that the gatherings themselves should be strengthened and
00:16:59upgraded, and this strengthening must go through a process.
00:17:02I think there are several categories of opponents
00:17:06in these gatherings. Now, if I want to be precise, I can
00:17:10count one plus four groups opposing the gatherings.
00:17:13Group one, why do I say one? Because it's the enemy, clearly.
00:17:17Trump is the enemy, he's against cohesion and these gatherings.
00:17:21There is another group that opposes these gatherings. Who are they? They
00:17:25are the current that I recognize with the "let it go" brand.
00:17:29People recognize them with this brand, and we also introduce them this
00:17:32way. This current opposes gatherings. Why do they oppose
00:17:36them? You see, the "let it go" current is fundamentally
00:17:40based on this narrative: "People can no longer
00:17:43bear it. People are afraid. People have given
00:17:47up." So, therefore, don't be strict anymore,
00:17:50let it go. Gatherings disrupt this narrative.
00:17:53You see, when "Self-Sacrificers" gatherings come out into
00:17:57the streets, they display significant and meaningful
00:18:00images that even Western media admit to this
00:18:04majesty, this dignity, this
00:18:07splendor. Mr. Mahdian, the people's gatherings
00:18:11have had many achievements. Western analysts
00:18:15themselves are pointing out that one of the most
00:18:18important of these achievements during these six months
00:18:22is that the presence of the people has created
00:18:25security, despite the attacks that were actually
00:18:29carried out on police stations and military centers
00:18:33during the war, and they sought insecurity. It was
00:18:36these committed people who helped maintain
00:18:40the country's security. How can this issue
00:18:43be ignored, and how can one, for example, advocate
00:18:46for these gatherings not to be held?
00:18:50You see, I'm saying their narrative is that people
00:18:53have given up, people are scared, people
00:18:56are tired. And with that same rule, they say, "Let this diminish
00:19:00or disappear." But I want to say that it's not just this group.
00:19:03We have three other groups. Another existing
00:19:07group is a current that is anti- popular demand. It has a problem
00:19:10with popular demand. It says, "If people gather somewhere, they won't
00:19:14just stick to the war anymore. They will also demand other
00:19:17things. They will demand the economy. They will demand hijab, and many
00:19:21other things." We have a third group whose existence
00:19:25is based on polarization. Those who always
00:19:27want to see the country divided can have
00:19:31their business, so to speak. Their business thrives on
00:19:35polarization. This current also opposes it.
00:19:59But this current doesn't actually believe in the people. It says,
00:20:02"Thank you, people. You've done your part. Go home.
00:20:06We'll decide what to do. We'll plan for you. We know what
00:20:09we're doing. We know what's good for you." This current
00:20:13is fundamentally the exact opposite of Imam's
00:20:17school of thought. It's the opposite of the school of thought and guidelines
00:20:20of our martyred Imam, who doesn't believe in the people's presence at
00:20:24all. I want to say that if we consider these five
00:20:27categories, we must plan to upgrade them.
00:20:31And its upgrade is that everyone should look at themselves,
00:20:35whether they are organizing the gathering or attending it.
00:20:38See how they can bring several other people. These gatherings
00:20:42are for all our people, meaning our absolute
00:20:46majority. Our people should be present in these gatherings because
00:20:50the common factor that unites everyone is the soil of our
00:20:53country. Our people are all self-sacrificers in this space.
00:20:57Therefore, if this happens, we can plan for its
00:21:01enhancement, and it is at this point
00:21:05that the war will be decided. Our martyred Imam
00:21:08has a point about defensive jihad. He believes
00:21:12that in defensive jihad, you will definitely and
00:21:16certainly be victorious. He doesn't say what your economic situation should
00:21:20be. He doesn't say who your officials should be. He says, in defensive
00:21:23jihad, and then he points out that it's not like this in offensive
00:21:27jihad, but in defensive jihad, you are definitely
00:21:30and certainly victorious, unless your cohesion
00:21:33breaks down. So therefore, what the enemy cannot
00:21:37do with all its breadth and length, we might be able
00:21:41to do with our divisions. This should really worry
00:21:44us. So, to conclude my statement, the final
00:21:48point of the war is that the people's
00:21:50resilience will end it. And its manifestation, its emergence,
00:21:54and its glory are in the streets and in these
00:21:58nightly gatherings and with this self-sacrificing presence.
00:22:01One point that you also mentioned
00:22:04in your speech is the impact of this popular
00:22:08presence on the equations of war. They, the enemy,
00:22:11are now openly declaring their goal.
00:22:15After the absolute defeat in the military
00:22:18sphere, in fact,
00:22:25now the US president has openly said, "Why don't the Iranian people come out to the streets?" meaning
00:22:29he doesn't see these people who have been
00:22:33in the streets for almost 203 nights, and he
00:22:37asks why people don't come out to the streets. Where
00:22:40is all this focus and psychological
00:22:43attack against the Iranian nation by the
00:22:45enemy heading? Let's also talk a bit about the future
00:22:49in the coming days. After these 23
00:22:52nights, should these presences continue, in your
00:22:56opinion? You see, the enemy's miscalculation, as our martyred Imam
00:23:00put it, the enemy entered the war with a miscalculation.
00:23:03In the 12-day war, he said their miscalculation
00:23:07was a lack of understanding of the people. He said the exact same thing about
00:23:11January. He said that a lack of understanding of the people leads
00:23:15to war. You see, Trump also says that he admires these people. He says, "I admire
00:23:18the Iranian people." At one point, he says this, and at another point, he says, "Why aren't
00:23:22they taking to the streets?" You see, they are truly bewildered
00:23:25and amazed by this popular grandeur, by this
00:23:28cohesion that truly means something. They are bewildered.
00:23:32We also have a current internally that, like
00:23:36Trump, suffers from a miscalculation, and who are they, and why
00:23:39has the enemy fundamentally fallen into this miscalculation,
00:23:43which some inside also repeat? Those who estimate
00:23:47the Iranian people by their appearance. If
00:23:50you estimate the Iranian people by their appearance, you will fall
00:23:54into a deep, complex miscalculation, like
00:23:58some ignorant people and treacherous media
00:24:01did on this very Friday when there were
00:24:04gatherings of self-sacrificers. Another group of people were also holding
00:24:08a rally, and they went towards polarization.
00:24:11This is indeed the bad taste of officials
00:24:15who don't plan carefully. But these are by no means opposed
00:24:18to each other, but rather
00:24:25analyzing the Iranian people by their appearance
00:24:28is a huge mistake. The vast majority
00:24:31of Iranians are self-sacrificers and are willing to
00:24:35pay any price for their country's soil. Trump
00:24:39made this miscalculation and fell into this
00:24:42destructive quagmire. Unfortunately, some people
00:24:45inside are also making the same miscalculation
00:24:49and the same mistake. And they want to estimate
00:24:52Iranian society based on appearances. One point
00:24:56that is actually raised about the people's presence,
00:24:59which various media outlets are indeed
00:25:03analyzing as a rare phenomenon, is that
00:25:05this population and this
00:25:08magnificent presence should actually be
00:25:12organized by the government, whether in the economic
00:25:16sphere, in the political sphere, or even on the battlefield.
00:25:20What is your analysis of this issue, especially after
00:25:23the "Self-Sacrificers" exercise has also been held?
00:25:26You see, the government has shown through its experience
00:25:29over the past 40-something years that it follows the people.
00:25:33The government, in some places, if our officials don't ruin
00:25:37it, cannot organize it. You see, in these very gatherings
00:25:40and the 20 nights that have passed, did the officials initiate
00:25:43this? Did the officials start
00:25:46these gatherings? Even at the end, I think
00:25:49the officials cannot decide. The people themselves, with their
00:25:53understanding and awareness, entered the field and the streets,
00:25:56and have been present until today. Officials can facilitate
00:25:59the conditions and infrastructure for popular participation
00:26:03in this space. So this is also a serious mistake
00:26:07that the enemy is making. However, I think it has reached the point
00:26:11today that we have made a miscalculation. I mentioned that it both praises
00:26:14and complains about why people are not taking to the streets. These
00:26:18are truly surprised that despite the difficult economic
00:26:21conditions, people are still present. But if we pay
00:26:25attention to those five groups and help them
00:26:28improve, we can definitely get more results from street gatherings,
00:26:32God willing. Thank you very much. Mr. Mahdian,
00:26:36political analyst, CEO of
00:26:39Hamshahri newspaper. Thank you for your accompaniment. Dear viewers, I invite
00:26:43you to continue watching the News Network.
00:30:20It's 11:30. Welcome to this news segment. 80%
00:30:24reduction in drowning victims in the sea. The head
00:30:27of the National Social Affairs Organization said on the sidelines
00:30:31of the social council meeting that the unified management
00:30:34of coasts is a strategic
00:30:36plan in which 19 organizations
00:30:40participate. Fortunately, the number of drowning
00:30:43victims on our coasts has significantly
00:30:46decreased. In some cases, even up to
00:30:4980%. By the grace of God, the number of drowning victims
00:30:53on our coasts has also decreased. Of course, in the past 10 years,
00:30:57during this very summer that we just experienced, only in two provinces.
