00:00:00The people of the house reached absolute truth,
00:00:03which is effectively translated by the behavior we are doing.
00:00:26The Minister of Education said in a special news interview program:
00:00:30All plans for holding in-person classes
00:00:33have been made. Mr. Kazemi , referring to the conditions of some provinces, added
00:00:37that if necessary, governors will be given permission
00:00:41to make point decisions.
00:00:44This year, we have 1 million and 154
00:00:48thousand first-grade students, and compared to last year, we have about
00:00:5180 thousand probably
00:00:55a decrease in births.
00:00:58About 17 million
00:01:01person-hours per week of
00:01:05educational service are provided for these 16.5
00:01:08million students, which is a very heavy workload and a very
00:01:12heavy operation. We truly have
00:01:1684% of our staff on duty, and
00:01:19about 14% is provided through
00:01:22teaching fees and the help of retired
00:01:26and employed colleagues. We have about 120,000
00:01:30to 124,000 schools, of which
00:01:3313,000 are public and 21,000 are
00:01:37non-governmental.
00:01:39The Central Headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya
00:01:44warned America and the countries of the region
00:01:48in a statement that if they make a mistake, they will be subject
00:01:51to painful attacks. The statement said that based on
00:01:55information received, criminal Americans,
00:01:58under the cover of defeat and achieving false achievements in a war
00:02:02that began with reliance on lies and Zionist fabrications
00:02:05and has continued with deception and trickery, have
00:02:09once again decided, with the green light of some regional countries, to take
00:02:13actions against Islamic Iran in a joint meeting
00:02:16in one of the European countries. The Central Headquarters of Khatam
00:02:19al-Anbiya further warned that if America commits
00:02:23any mistake against Islamic Iran,
00:02:26all its bases and interests in the region will be subject
00:02:30to continuous, effective,
00:02:33and painful attacks
00:02:36without any limitations or considerations. The Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam
00:02:39al-Anbiya also warned that if the countries
00:02:42of the region continue their dual policy towards the Islamic Republic
00:02:46of Iran and align
00:02:48with the aggression of the Great Satan against powerful Islamic Iran,
00:02:52they will all be considered partners in this evil
00:02:56and will no longer be able to expect
00:03:01nobility
00:03:02from Iran's powerful armed forces.
00:03:05The Ministry of Intelligence announced the dismantling of operational centers belonging to
00:03:09terrorist groups in three Iranian provinces.
00:03:12According to the Ministry of Intelligence, these mercenary
00:03:16terrorists of the American Zionist enemy intended to carry
00:03:19out assassination and destruction operations against economic infrastructure
00:03:23in the three provinces of West Azerbaijan, Alborz, and Kerman, but
00:03:26some were killed and a number were arrested.
00:03:30Their intentions included carrying out terrorist operations
00:03:34to assassinate security commanders, sending coordinates of some
00:03:37military locations to the Zionist enemy, and planning
00:03:40bombing operations in infrastructure facilities. These were among the actions of these
00:03:44three terrorist cells that the anonymous soldiers of Imam Zaman
00:03:47(may Allah hasten his reappearance) in the Ministry of Intelligence prevented.
00:03:51شدند.
00:03:55The head of Yemen's Supreme Political Council said that just as the people of Yemen
00:03:59were freed from guardianship and foreign domination through their revolution,
00:04:02they will not retreat from achieving
00:04:05their rights now. Mahdi Mashat, while commending
00:04:09the operations of the Yemeni armed forces in liberating
00:04:13the western coast of the country, said that according to the orders of Yemen's leader,
00:04:17they will act to end the Saudi aggression and blockade,
00:04:20reopen airports and ports, and restore Yemen's national wealth.
00:04:24The head of Yemen's Supreme Political Council stated
00:04:28that the sea battle in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb is safe
00:04:31for all countries except Saudi Arabia, and Yemen's strategic
00:04:35choice is peace, which has the lowest cost.
00:04:39Mahdi Mashat emphasized that Yemen stands with the people of Iran and their
00:04:43Islamic system, and supports Islamic resistance
00:04:46in Lebanon, Palestine, and all other fronts of the resistance axis.
00:04:50Power plants are the beating
00:05:03heart of industries, and their stoppage can halt
00:05:07the wheel of production. Turbines that Iran now has something to say
00:05:11in their production.
00:05:15It is one of the top five
00:05:17countries
00:05:21in the world producing this important and vital equipment. This rotor you see rotates at 11,000 revolutions
00:05:25per minute. 11,000 revolutions
00:05:28per minute means 660,000 revolutions
00:05:32per hour, and about 16 million revolutions
00:05:35in a day so that both the wheel of the country's
00:05:39industry and the wheel of power plants turn. Its job
00:05:42is to produce air for the turbine. Turbines are among the most
00:05:46important equipment in industries that provide the necessary
00:05:50energy for the movement of other devices. This is the
00:05:53most available equipment, and in fact, major
00:05:57oil and gas industries, petrochemicals, refineries, and power plants use this equipment.
00:06:01In Iran, hundreds of power
00:06:04, oil, gas, petrochemical, and steel units are active.
00:06:08If a specific part does not reach a power plant, a power
00:06:11plant complex cannot operate. Parts that are made
00:06:15by our country's specialists so that power plants can
00:06:18continuously be in the production cycle. For example,
00:06:21here, this production unit.
00:06:25The blades of turbines and compressors are
00:06:27high-consumption spare parts that are used in turbines,
00:06:31and we make our rotating machines.
00:06:35What stage of work are we in now? We are in the part cutting stage.
00:06:39This is another part of gas turbines that if we don't
00:06:43make ourselves, we have to import it. This part is being made
00:06:46in Iran for the first time, and its function is to prevent
00:06:50gas leakage in the turbine. Iran is among the top five
00:06:53turbine manufacturing countries in the world. Considering
00:06:57the volume of products that our company and companies similar
00:07:01to ours currently have, the oil and gas industry
00:07:04and also the power industry have become almost self-sufficient
00:07:08from importing these products. And now some of the power plants
00:07:11that were damaged in the imposed war will return to the production
00:07:15cycle with these Iranian-made turbine parts. Some of these turbines
00:07:19are small turbines that are transferred to our workshop and repaired
00:07:23here. Some of the cameras are very large cameras
00:07:27that are repaired inside the power plant, and the spare parts
00:07:30we produce are transferred to the power plant and installed
00:07:33on the equipment. And this is a strong response
00:07:37from domestic manufacturers to foreign
00:07:40sanctions. Manufacturers who, through trial
00:07:43and error and experience, stood by Iranian
00:07:46production. Razieh Aghaei, Seda

00:07:54The head of the Iran Chamber of Commerce announced the approval of 400 trillion Tomans
00:07:58to support small and medium enterprises. According
00:08:01to Mr. Samad Hasanzadeh, 200 trillion Tomans have also been
00:08:05allocated for the import of essential goods.
00:08:07Yesterday, our meeting with
00:08:11Mr. Engineer Atabak, the esteemed Minister
00:08:15of Industry, was held at the Chamber of Commerce
00:08:18with the Council of Heads, and there, Mr.
00:08:22Atabak pointed out that the previous
00:08:25700 trillion Tomans had
00:08:28no impact
00:08:32on economic enterprises, but now
00:08:34we have approved 400 trillion
00:08:38Tomans specifically to help essential
00:08:50goods, which has been taken into consideration by the private
00:08:53sector, and we hope that it will be
00:08:57operational in the next few days.

00:09:33Thank you
00:09:36for your company.
00:13:40In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Hello.
00:13:43Our first important guest
00:13:46today with Mr. Farhangdoost
00:13:49was sweetened by receiving
00:13:52an award for being the best singer during the 8 years of Holy Defense.
00:13:56Master, welcome. Would you tell us more about
00:13:59that sweet memory? Yes, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I extend my greetings
00:14:03to the viewers and
00:14:06to you. Of course, I have many memories,
00:14:09but some of these memories have stayed in my mind.
00:14:13And one of those memories was that during the 8 years
00:14:17of Holy Defense, I was chosen as the top
00:14:20singer, and I received the blessed handwriting
00:14:24of Imam, which was engraved on a plaque,
00:14:28from the honorable Supreme Leader. Of course, at that time,
00:14:31the honorable Supreme Leader was the President,
00:14:34and in any case, we had the honor
00:14:37to consider this, as they say,
00:14:40program as a gift from
00:14:43Almighty God,
00:14:46and we are proud of it. Of course,
00:14:49I had many meetings with
00:14:53the honorable Leader,
00:14:55and I went to him. But this was my first
00:14:59time. The morning of hopes dawned
00:15:02from the horizons, the branches of
00:15:05life have sprouted buds.
00:15:08This victory
00:15:11is blessed. This
00:15:14victory. This
00:15:17victory is blessed.
00:15:20This victory is blessed.
00:16:07And how was the anthem? I have a memory from him.
00:16:11ایشون
00:16:13Once, during the time of Dr. Hosseini, who
00:16:17was the Minister of Culture, his advisor called me and said
00:16:21that we want to go and visit Agha and honor
00:16:24Mr. Moshfegh Kashani, who was one
00:16:28of the famous poets of Iran.
00:16:31We want to go and ask for permission from Agha. Will
00:16:35you come? I asked if you had recited
00:16:38anything by Mr. Moshfegh. They said yes, I have recited several
00:16:41poems in the form of singing,
00:16:44and also songs and anthems and such.
00:16:48I invite Professor Moshfegh
00:16:49Kashani.
00:16:52For the trapped bird, as long as the cage
00:16:55remains,
00:16:58for the trapped bird, as long as the cage
00:17:02remains, a thousand
00:17:04choking sorrows remain in the breath.
00:17:08Bravo! I am amazed
00:17:11that why the ring of Solomon
00:17:15remains in the hand of the black demon
00:17:18of lust. When will you reach
00:17:22the pearl of desire
00:17:25in that environment where the claws of thorns
00:17:29and thistles remain?
00:17:32By the sun, the light of dawn will not
00:17:36pour. Until the shadow
00:17:40of the night-stricken earth
00:17:42remains. What was the secret
00:17:45in the voices of the strange narrators
00:17:49that in the path of the journey, the wail
00:17:52of the bell remains? For
00:17:55the justice-seeking restless hearts, O
00:17:59friend, may you not perish, for the Just
00:18:02Creator remains.
00:18:06In short, we went and... it was almost a private
00:18:09situation. I was the singer, Dr. Hosseini was
00:18:13the Minister of Culture, his advisor
00:18:16was there. Mr. Moshfegh Kashani himself was there,
00:18:19and two other dear poets. We went there and
00:18:22in short, Mr. Dr. Hosseini introduced
00:18:25Mr. Moshfegh and said we want to hold
00:18:28a commemoration for him. We came to ask for your permission.
00:18:32And in short, he also spoke about Mr. Moshfegh
00:18:36and said that it was a humorous situation.
00:18:39He said that Mr. Moshfegh was passing his 100th decade. Agha said,
00:18:43no, his appearance doesn't match these words. Then
00:18:47Mr. Hosseini said, no,
00:18:49he was born in 1301. Agha smiled
00:18:52a little again and then turned to Mr. Moshfegh and said,
00:18:56Mr. Moshfegh, please recite a verse. Mr.
00:18:59Moshfegh is also from the good
00:19:01poets of our time. His ghazals
00:19:05are mature,
00:19:08meaningful, and well-crafted. He is one
00:19:12of the prominent
00:19:15ghazal poets
00:19:17of our time, Mr. Moshfegh.
00:19:20His style is mostly
00:19:24Iraqi style, and at the same
00:19:27time, it has meaning, refined language,
00:19:30and
00:19:32a mature ghazal constitutes his
00:19:35work. Of course, he also writes poetry in other forms,
00:19:39such as qasidas and qet'as. However,
00:19:41his ghazals have a special
00:19:44prominence that we have always found
00:19:48in the poetry sessions where I was
00:19:51present and
00:19:53was able to hear his poems.
00:19:57His poetry has always had a sweetness
00:20:00and a special prominence
00:20:04and beauty. In addition to the purely
00:20:08poetic aspect, there are two other characteristics
00:20:11in Mr. Moshfegh that are noteworthy. One is that
00:20:15his poetry serves purposes, it serves
00:20:19religious and revolutionary
00:20:22purposes. From the beginning of the revolution,
00:20:26and even before the revolution, it was probably the same, but
00:20:29as far as I know, during the revolution, his poetry,
00:20:33both his religious poetry, which is called spiritual poetry,
00:20:39in praise of the Imams and on topics
00:20:42related to the Imams (peace be upon them), and also the poems
00:20:46he wrote about revolutionary issues. These
00:20:50were all useful and
00:20:54influential poems. The second point is his
00:20:56personality. He is a respected person,
00:20:59adorned
00:21:02with good morals and good behavior.
00:21:05We have always observed
00:21:09this behavior from him throughout the approximately 30-odd
00:21:13years that we have known and been connected with him,
00:21:16and have heard from him and sometimes sat with him.
00:21:20He spoke very briefly and recited a poem.
00:21:23If I remember
00:21:27correctly, the first couplet was:
00:21:30"It is a watchful ear if the window is open
00:21:33tonight, the melody of the dawn bird is soul-soothing
00:21:37tonight." He recited this, and
00:21:41we were sitting next to Mr. Moshfegh. The honorable
00:21:44Supreme Leader turned to me and said, "Recite this poem to me."
00:21:48I was very happy.
00:21:55Happy and so on. And
00:21:58at that very moment, the poem that Mr. Moshfegh had recited
00:22:02had a note written next to it, saying that
00:22:05we should go and recite this. I should tell you
00:22:09that we came and he told me to choose
00:22:12a few composers so that there would be suitable
00:22:16music for this poem. We chose
00:22:19several composers. Finally, Mr. Arest, one of
00:22:22our country's valuable artists, was chosen,
00:22:26and in short, we went and recited this poem.
00:22:30When I wanted to go to the studio,
00:22:33I said, "Oh God, help us, because
00:22:36we want to give this poem as a song
00:22:39and CD to His Holiness Agha."
00:22:42In short, "Pray that I don't lose face." We went
00:22:46and, thank God, we recited it, and we came back and...
00:22:50We also presented the CD to Agha's office. This poem,
00:22:53or this song, is called "The Ecstasy of the Heavenly Realm."
00:23:59A listening
00:24:00ear.
00:24:05If the window
00:24:09is open
00:24:13here.
00:24:20The melody of the dawn
00:24:24bird
00:24:26soothes
00:24:28the soul
00:24:32here.
00:24:37It took me from
00:24:40my senses. It took
00:24:43me from my senses, the ecstasy
00:24:46of the heavenly realm.
00:25:20He had a lot of knowledge of healthy music,
00:25:23epic music, and he even knew many melodic modes. I have many stories
00:25:27about him. I remember that he once came
00:25:30to television when he was president.
00:25:34A president or official from another
00:25:38country had come, and they played the anthem
00:25:41of the Islamic Republic as a recorded
00:25:44version, meaning they played it as a CD
00:25:48or tape. Then His Holiness Agha said that
00:25:51you should try that when presidents from different countries
00:25:55come, we play it with an orchestra.
00:25:59A proper orchestra should come. The issue
00:26:12is how much faith and
00:26:15interest they had in this matter. There have been many
00:26:19different issues that I have to tell you about,
00:26:22that I had contact with and realized
00:26:25how much His Holiness gave importance
00:26:29to this art, especially healthy music.
00:26:42In 1361,
00:26:44I sang the anthem "Blessed Be the Victory," which was
00:26:48for the liberation of Khorramshahr. The story
00:26:51of this anthem is also very interesting. Two months before the Operation
00:26:55Beit ol-Moqaddas, those involved in the war
00:26:58told us that we would have a very great victory
00:27:02and that they wanted us to compose a song that would truly
00:27:06be worthy of this victory. We asked why, and he said
00:27:09he would tell us later. We were a team. God bless
00:27:13Mr. Sabzevari, the poet. God bless Mr. Ahmadali
00:27:17Ragheb, the composer, and also Mr. Mojtaba
00:27:20Mirzadeh, the arranger. I was the singer. We were a team
00:27:23that performed most of the works of the Holy Defense and revolutionary
00:27:27anthems. So we got to work
00:27:30and created the anthem "Blessed Be the Victory," which
00:27:34truly has a unique poem.
00:27:38It's truly unique. And
00:27:40the music is Iranian. For example, in a certain
00:27:44mode, we have a type of Bayaat called "Ruh al-Arwah." The same
00:27:48adhan that Mr. Moazzenzadeh recited from
00:27:51Debaili is in this mode. The composer
00:27:54composed this song in this mode, and God, we
00:27:58sang it, and the combination of march and all of
00:28:32these different things is very unique. In short, we sang
00:28:36it and didn't stop. It had to be broadcast.
00:28:40I'm saying this as an introduction to get to His Holiness
00:28:44Agha.
00:28:46A month or two passed. Well, everyone at that
00:28:49time had to listen to the radio because it was war.
00:28:53From the war news, we realized, for example,
00:28:57we all went somewhere in our cars, and when we were
00:29:00coming back, the radio was on. In short, just as
00:29:03the radio was on, the radio's normal programs
00:29:06were interrupted. The announcer said, "Dear listeners,
00:29:10dear listeners, please pay attention." It was Mr. Karimi, and he had such
00:29:14a good voice. "Dear listeners, please pay attention, please pay attention.
00:29:17Khorramshahr has been liberated." He repeated this once or twice,
00:29:21then the anthem "Blessed Be" was broadcast. Believe
00:29:25me, Ms., I rolled down the windows. At that
00:29:28time, everyone had radios, like a loudspeaker in Tehran
00:29:31or, I think, Iran, broadcasting this.
00:29:35Then this anthem was broadcast. Then, as I was driving,
00:29:39I rolled down the window and saw all the people were talking
00:29:43and kissing each other, exchanging sweets. Where
00:29:46did they get the flags? Small flags were being
00:29:48waved. And we were listening to this music. Believe
00:29:52me, my tears were flowing,
00:29:56and I was watching these people, truly
00:29:59looking outside, just as I was.
00:30:05People were rejoicing, and
00:30:07then it would end, and the announcer would speak
00:30:11for a bit, and then it would be broadcast again.
00:30:14It was a very strange memory for me.
00:30:18I had never been so spiritually happy in my life.
00:30:21Now, I said all this to get to the Supreme
00:30:24Leader. There was a program in 1980,
00:30:28after 1961, when we sang
00:30:31this. It was at Modares University. In short,
00:30:35they invited us to perform there. They had brought guests
00:30:39there. In short, I spoke a little
00:30:42about the Holy Defense and this anthem.
00:30:45Before we went on stage, there was
00:30:48a man, and this is also a funny story, there was a man
00:30:51who said, "Why are you cutting it short?"
00:30:54I said, "What are you talking about? I haven't even gone
00:30:57yet." I said, "Okay, we'll go."
