00:01:14A new round of Saudi attacks on residential areas
00:01:17in Saada province, Yemen, residential areas and
00:01:21border villages in the districts of Zahir and Haydan
00:01:24in Saada province in northern Yemen were targeted by heavy
00:01:28missile and artillery attacks by Saudi forces. According
00:01:32to Yemen's Al-Masirah network, the Saudi army,
00:01:35in its new round of aggression against Yemen, targeted densely populated
00:01:39areas and several border villages in Zahir district.
00:01:42According to this report, Saudi forces used dozens of
00:01:46missiles and artillery shells to target residential areas in the districts
00:01:50of Zahir and Haydan, causing damage to
00:01:54infrastructure and civilian
00:01:57homes. Yemeni sources reported the martyrdom of four workers and the injury of three others in Saudi airstrikes
00:02:04on communication towers in the Khabb
00:02:07and Shaf regions. Yemeni sources
00:02:10also reported a new aggression
00:02:13by the Saudi regime on Jawf province
00:02:17in northern Yemen. According to the spokesman
00:02:20of the Yemeni Armed Forces, the invading Saudi fighter jets
00:02:23have carried out 760 airstrikes
00:02:27against Yemen and its people since the escalation
00:02:30of tensions.
00:02:32The Secretary
00:02:35of the Supreme National Security Council said: "Civilized
00:02:38Iran will never surrender, and if a war starts, we will attack
00:02:42American warships even in the Indian Ocean."
00:02:46Major General Rezaei, in an interview with Al Jazeera network, described
00:02:49Iran's defensive capability as popular and said that Iran is fully aware
00:02:53of the weaknesses of the US army and will go into the next war with more
00:02:57power and more painful blows
00:03:00against America. The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council
00:03:03also announced the reverse engineering of a captured
00:03:07American submarine and said: "The Iranian Armed Forces
00:03:11have increased the speed of their supersonic missiles from 6 months to
00:03:1410 months. They have improved
00:03:17electronic warfare systems and also strengthened air
00:03:21defense." The Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council also announced
00:03:25on social media Iran's seven conditions for starting
00:03:28any negotiations with the government.
00:03:31Tehran's message is clear and unambiguous, and if Washington wants
00:03:35to get out of its self-made predicament, there is no
00:03:39way but to accept Iran's rights
00:03:42and conditions.
00:03:45Efforts of the judiciary to promote a culture of peace and reconciliation
00:03:48led to 17 prisoners sentenced to retribution being on the verge of release.
00:03:52The head of the Tehran Provincial Justice Department, emphasizing
00:03:55the reduction of judicial tensions, ordered that the capacities of actors,
00:03:58athletes, and local dignitaries be used
00:04:02in the form of jihadi cells for mediation in cases.
00:04:05to be employed. The involvement of social activists, cultural,
00:04:09sports, artistic, and literary figures,
00:04:13as well as the families of martyrs, especially
00:04:16the fathers of martyrs, respected clerics,
00:04:20and respected Friday and congregational prayer leaders, to help us
00:04:24in matters of peace and reconciliation, in the framework of jihadi
00:04:27forgiveness cells, we will use.
00:04:43What they reported, almost all of these murders that
00:04:46today lead to forgiveness and reconciliation are
00:04:50those that were not
00:04:53the result of premeditated criminal intent.
00:04:56They were emotional incidents
00:04:58under circumstances of psychological arousal
00:05:02and a lack of behavioral control,
00:05:06and unfortunately, this has happened
00:05:07so much.
00:05:10The continuation of this news segment with a few brief news items: The Ministry
00:05:14of Intelligence announced the destruction of three operational
00:05:17centers belonging to American-Zionist terrorist groups in the provinces
00:05:21of West Azerbaijan, Alborz, and Kerman. These terrorists
00:05:25intended to carry out assassinations, send coordinates of military
00:05:28installations, and plan explosions in infrastructure
00:05:31facilities.
00:05:33An illegal
00:05:37center affiliated with the French embassy in Tehran,
00:05:41known as
00:06:12illegal gas, in a cryptocurrency mining unit
00:06:15in Eshtehard. In this complex, 362
00:06:19cryptocurrency mining devices were identified, and after the discovery
00:06:23of an underground tunnel and an unauthorized
00:06:26connection to the 4-inch gas inlet line,
00:06:29the complex was shut down and the station was sealed.
00:06:31and the discovery of a large
00:06:33drug shipment in two statements. The police announced the discovery of
00:06:37a trailer carrying 665 kilograms
00:06:40of crystal meth
00:06:43on the Anarak-Naein-Esfahan axis. According to
00:06:46Brigadier General Montazer Al-Mahdi, 371 kilograms
00:06:50of various drugs were also seized in Sistan and Baluchestan province,
00:06:5413 smugglers were arrested, and 11 vehicles were seized.
00:06:57The CNG project
00:07:06manager of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company said
00:07:09that applicants for all high-mileage vehicles
00:07:17can convert their cars to dual-fuel for free. Mr. Salari
00:07:20said that so far, about 5,000 applicants from all over the country
00:07:24have registered in this system. He said that the list
00:07:28of vehicles has been sent by the online
00:07:32platform and they will gradually receive text messages.
00:07:34In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
00:08:32Dear and respected viewers,
00:08:35as usual every day, we are at your service
00:08:38from the news channel studio in Beirut, the capital
00:08:42of Lebanon. With the Shamal program
00:08:46and the latest developments in the region, Dr. Mohammad Shams,
00:08:50our esteemed program expert, is present in the studio.
00:08:54Mr. Shams, in the past few hours, the US Embassy
00:08:57in Beirut, in addition to
00:09:00the US embassies in the region,
00:09:04warned American citizens not to travel to the Middle
00:09:06East, and again,
00:09:10they created a media atmosphere that something might happen
00:09:13in the general Middle East.
00:09:17The Zionist regime also, as usual,
00:09:20just like in the past three months,
00:09:24announced again that its army
00:09:28is on full alert, and of course,
00:09:30this is not new for the regime.
00:09:33The situation in Lebanon, apart from
00:09:36the issue of the south of the country,
00:09:39is experiencing a relative calm.
00:09:43In these circumstances, Walid Jumblatt again warned.
00:09:46Walid Jumblatt is usually said to be the former
00:09:50head of the Progressive Socialist Party
00:09:53of Lebanon and practically the most
00:09:56important Druze figure in Lebanon. They say he
00:09:59is the antenna
00:10:01receiving future developments in Lebanon and the region.
00:10:05He warned that the situation is very
00:10:08bad and said that the solution is to return to the Islamabad
00:10:11agreement. That it should be revived between Iran and America,
00:10:15and Lebanon will also find a positive
00:10:18outlook based on that
00:10:21agreement. In addition to Mr. Jan Aziz Jumblatt yesterday,
00:10:55let's put the situation together. How do you see the situation? That is,
00:10:59in the period before the American elections
00:11:02and the Zionist regime's elections, whether
00:11:06this remaining period until the general or
00:11:09parliamentary elections of the Zionist regime, which is about 40 days,
00:11:12about 42 days more,
00:11:16will pass in the same way, or whether we
00:11:20will witness an explosion after which
00:11:23we will have to examine.
00:11:29In fact, in recent weeks,
00:11:31a change in the approach to Hezbollah
00:11:35and the weapons of resistance was seen or observed
00:11:39in the words and actions of Lebanese government officials.
00:11:42Now, a superficial change remains to be seen whether it is
00:11:46real or merely superficial
00:11:49and media-driven. The previous talk
00:11:53of resistance by force.
00:12:01Resistance and this media and political atmosphere of Lebanese government pressure against
00:12:04resistance, but now they have returned to talking
00:12:07about containing the weapons of resistance. This plan that the French
00:12:11presented, the Turks presented, and the Egyptians also
00:12:15put forward, that Hezbollah's weapons cannot be removed by force.
00:12:18They do not have the power, nor does Lebanon allow
00:12:21it, and Israel on the other side of the framework agreement has not fulfilled
00:12:25its commitments, so it is useless for Lebanon to reach a dead end
00:12:29or be drawn into internal conflict and civil war. These
00:12:32plans are now being brought up again, especially now after the Lebanese government
00:12:36realized that Israel
00:12:39does not want to abide by the framework agreement. Their view of Lebanon
00:12:42is a military one, occupying the buffer zone, that talk
00:12:46that Ms. Ortagus, the representative or
00:12:49former US special envoy,
00:12:52said that this opportunity
00:13:25Hezbollah proves that their theory is stable. It loses the chance for peace. Yes.
00:13:28And it is proven that Hezbollah's theory is correct, that resistance is the only
00:13:32solution for expelling Israel from southern Lebanon.
00:13:36After the words of the head of the Maronite Church of Lebanon,
00:13:39Patriarch Raï, and also Mr. Walid Jumblatt, who himself
00:13:43sees the future outlook of the region
00:13:46as dangerous, unless they return
00:13:49to the Islamabad agreement, they say the solution now
00:13:53is to get out of these wars. In the region, which may
00:13:56expand, they should return to the Islamabad agreement, especially
00:14:00regarding Lebanon. This is
00:14:03concurrent with those words. President Michel Aoun
00:14:07sent several messages to Hezbollah through his advisors
00:14:09that he wants to talk to Hezbollah and open a new page,
00:14:13but Hezbollah has not yet given
00:14:16a positive answer. There was also news in the media
00:14:20that it is possible
00:14:22that negotiations or talks
00:14:29between a representative of the president and Mohammad Raad, the head of the Hezbollah
00:14:33parliamentary bloc in the Lebanese parliament,
00:14:36is this atmosphere positive, or do you believe
00:14:39that the ground is not yet ready? Yes, no, it is not
00:14:43yet ready because Aoun's advisor sent
00:14:46several messages to Hezbollah. Mr. Hassan
00:14:50Fadlallah, the speaker of parliament, announced his readiness for talks.
00:14:53His messages are being reviewed.
00:15:01Of course, these changes in the government's behavior, in their statements, and
00:15:05for talks with Hezbollah are related to regional
00:15:08variables, from Bab al-Mandeb and Yemen
00:15:12to this Iran-America war, and
00:15:15the situation is the most important point for this development.
00:15:18In my opinion, the Lebanese government has realized that this
00:15:21path of dialogue with Israel will not yield results.
00:15:32The solution is to return to the Islamabad agreement and revive
00:15:36that agreement, which in the general atmosphere of that agreement between Iran and
00:15:39America, the entire region and consequently
00:15:43Lebanon will
00:15:45benefit from this opportunity. Do you think that Jumblatt's
00:15:48words are now understood by Lebanese
00:15:52government officials, specifically the president, the prime minister, and one might
00:15:56say almost the president
00:15:58himself?
00:16:01Is this statement meaningful now? Do they feel this need? Of course, the very
00:16:05revival of that agreement itself is now
00:16:08in a state of general ambiguity. Well, Mr. Berri, the speaker of parliament,
00:16:12once said that this framework agreement went to waste.
00:16:15Has this belief reached the presidential palace as well?
00:16:18Have they been convinced by Jan Aziz's words, Masha'allah, and the president
00:16:22on this American website? This shows that we in the presidential
00:16:26palace have come to the conclusion that Israel is not seeking
00:16:29peace, tranquility, ceasefire, and withdrawal, unless
00:16:33there is one way: Trump puts pressure on Netanyahu
00:16:36for withdrawal from Lebanon,
00:16:40or in other words, the expulsion of Israel from Lebanon,
00:16:44at which point the Lebanese government can stand on its own two feet, and I can
00:16:47say that the path of dialogue and diplomacy that I mentioned
00:16:51has yielded results, and if not, the government will fall or weaken,
00:16:55or its goals will not be achieved, and Hezbollah will become more powerful.
00:16:59This is the statement of Jan Aziz, a senior advisor to Joseph,
00:17:02in this context that we are now referring to, which again raises
00:17:05many questions, because there is no clear answer.
00:17:07Regarding the ongoing developments in light of the policies of the US and
00:17:11the Zionist regime, we currently
00:17:14do not have a precise and clear answer. In southern Lebanon,
00:17:17what happened in Deir Mimas and its images were broadcast,
00:17:20the Lebanese army, there,
00:17:23at the command of the Zionist
00:17:25military, evacuated a point, and then, in the framework
00:17:29of coordination with the mechanism committee, that is,
00:17:33the ceasefire monitoring committee, which now is
00:18:00How, based on Israel's criteria regarding
00:18:03the regions, the yellow line regions,
00:18:08where the Israelis consider their security zone, how should
00:18:12the Lebanese army act there? That is, where
00:18:15the army of the Zionist regime wants to dictate decisions
00:18:18about the role of the Lebanese army, this army must understand
00:18:22that the Lebanese army, on the other hand, considers this a violation of national
00:18:26sovereignty and does not accept being
00:18:29an executor of the orders of the Israeli army.
00:18:32In this situation, the situation
00:18:35in southern Lebanon, from this perspective, from this equation.
00:18:39A few months ago, we saw that one of the senior
00:18:42officers of the Lebanese army was assassinated by the Israelis,
00:18:45the head of ground operations, and the one who
00:18:49coordinates the Lebanese army's connection with Israel,
00:18:53albeit indirectly, was assassinated. They gave the excuse that
00:18:56he was moving in the area without our consultation,
00:19:00without our coordination, and this was a warning message from Israel.
00:19:04This second message in Deir Mimas,
00:19:08which was the village of Deir Mimas, was the day before yesterday
00:19:11or two days ago. This is the same message that the Lebanese
00:19:15army, you receive orders from us,
00:19:18you must listen to us, the Israelis are saying,
00:19:22and the field of the equation, the field is in our hands,
00:19:26not in the hands of the mechanism, not in the hands of the framework agreement,
00:19:30not in the hands of the Lebanese government, not anyone. The Israelis decide
00:19:32whether the army stays here or leaves.
00:19:35This trend at the end of the current Gregorian year
00:19:39brings us to the point after UNIFIL.
00:19:42UNIFIL, or the UN peacekeeping forces,
00:19:45their mission will end at the end of the current Gregorian year.
00:19:49It will not be extended. The US
00:19:53and Israel are against extending the presence of these forces.
00:19:56The issue of an alternative force is raised,
00:20:00a force composed of some European countries, especially
00:20:03France and Italy. Israel still
00:20:26What connection will it have with the concept of the UN? What will be the situation
00:20:29in the south? That is, Israel no longer
00:20:33accepts any UN flag
00:20:36being present there.
00:20:39Does the Zionist regime want to turn
00:20:42the situation in southern Lebanon into exactly the same
00:20:46situation as Quneitra in the occupied Golan Heights, where
00:20:50the armed forces affiliated with the Syrian
00:20:54government receive orders from the army of the Zionist regime
00:20:57to control security there? Well, despite the fact that UNIFIL
00:21:01forces in recent years have mostly
00:21:04reported their activities and
00:21:07either supported Israel or
00:21:11sometimes spied for Israel, the presence of these UN
00:21:14forces creates a relative calm for Lebanon.
00:21:18Hezbollah agrees that these UN forces should remain.
00:21:22The Lebanese government and army also want this. Mr. Nawaf Salam, the Lebanese
00:21:25prime minister's visit to New York and his meetings there
00:21:28with American officials to convince them to give the green
00:21:32light again for the continued presence or extension of UNIFIL forces.
00:21:36Of course, the US does not support UNIFIL
00:21:39for two reasons: First, Israel does not want it,
00:21:43and second, the US does not want to spend money. The US
00:21:46said that the UN forces there already have money.
00:22:00Spain, European countries that we send troops there
00:22:03to replace the UN forces. Hezbollah made it clear
00:22:07to these European countries and the countries that brought up this issue
00:22:11that any foreign force that wants to enter Lebanon must be
00:22:13under the umbrella of the UN agreement and Resolution
00:22:161701. Otherwise,
00:22:23we will consider them as occupying forces.
00:22:26Therefore, Spain and Italy regretted and withdrew. France is still
00:22:30pursuing this plan. In short, the Lebanese government
00:22:33is now trying to keep UNIFIL forces,
00:22:37to extend their mandate, because if they are not there,
00:22:41Israel will exert its power throughout southern Lebanon, where they are,
00:22:44and their word will be final. That means no one
00:22:48else will even report Israeli aggressions
00:22:52to the UN. Well, regarding Lebanon's domestic
00:22:55issues, in recent days,
00:22:58in two impeachment sessions,
00:23:01Nawaf Salam's government, this issue was also raised.
00:23:04The problems arising from the war
00:23:07in the Middle East, and especially
00:23:10the issue of energy, have now affected Lebanon.
00:23:13I saw that the head of the Association of
00:23:17Fuel Distributors in Lebanon says: About
00:23:2130% of gasoline consumption in Lebanon has decreased.
00:23:25It has gone down because, with
00:23:27this price of fuel, 20 liters
00:23:31of gasoline became 30 dollars. Many
00:23:33Lebanese, except for essential needs, no longer
00:23:36start their cars. Now, the issue of bread is also raised. Bread has also
00:23:40become expensive in Lebanon, or they decided to make it expensive, I don't know.
00:23:43Now, what I know is that each loaf
00:23:46of bread became 100,000 Lebanese pounds.
00:23:50With this situation, the internal situation
00:23:53of Lebanon and now the protests that are fundamentally
00:23:57against the policies of Nawaf Salam's government, which has tied Lebanon's
00:24:01issues, Lebanon's livelihood and economy, to the interests of the US and
00:24:05the Zionist regime, Saudi Arabia. How does the internal situation of Lebanon
00:24:09tolerate this atmosphere
00:24:11resulting from this situation, the economic conditions,
00:24:15given that Nawaf Salam's government has not fulfilled all the promises
00:24:18it made? I mean, some of you. The economic
00:24:33and livelihood situation of Lebanon, and that
00:24:36the Lebanese government has not done anything about its promises
00:24:39to the people. For about two years, the Lebanese government has only been pursuing
00:24:43reconciliation with Israel and the framework
00:24:46and exclusive disarmament of Hezbollah and legitimizing the soldiers of Islam.
00:25:20Earlier, aid from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Arab countries,
00:25:24France, would flow in, and this situation would improve somewhat, but
00:25:27these countries themselves are now facing problems. Yesterday, one of the famous
00:25:31writers of Arab countries said that
00:25:35this 50-year golden age for the Gulf Arab countries
00:25:38has ended. Now, this money that they give to Samir Geagea, their
00:25:42own forces, some in Saudi Arabia say that money is being
00:25:45wasted there. In Lebanon, the situation is getting
00:25:49worse, but unfortunately, in Lebanon, the economic and livelihood situation
00:25:52puts pressure on the government, but the government, since it was appointed from outside,
00:25:56their connection with outside, meaning Saudi Arabia and the US, decides
00:26:00whether the government exists. Today, in Tripoli
00:26:03in northern Lebanon, a call
00:26:06has been made for a gathering
00:26:09in protest against the policies of Nawaf Salam's government, even though Tripoli, which is
00:26:12an almost Sunni majority
00:26:15city, is considered Sunni-majority in northern Lebanon. In Tyre
00:26:19in southern Lebanon, a gathering was held
00:26:22there. Gatherings are in fact frequent
00:26:26against the policies of Nawaf
00:26:27Salam's government.
00:26:30Regarding the deceased,
00:27:03no, unfortunately, the answer to your question is clear.
00:27:07The root cause of Lebanon's economic problems cannot be solved
00:27:10with loans from international banks.
00:27:14This policy, which we brought to a dead end in 2019
00:27:18and caused the collapse of the country's economy
00:27:20and a revolution that was a coup or whatever
00:27:24you call it, the revolution and demonstrations
00:27:27against the government started. Now, popular gatherings
00:27:30and pressure and protests against the government are increasing.
00:27:34Not only in Tyre and northern Lebanon, but also in Beirut. This coming
00:27:38week, there will be several popular gatherings in Beirut,
00:27:42in the southern suburbs, and in various places against the Lebanese government, saying
00:27:45that you must solve these economic problems. So, the issue
00:27:49is not just dialogue with Israel.
00:27:52This is the same humiliating agreement that has not solved
00:27:55the main problem of the country for the Lebanese people.
00:27:59This debt or borrowing from international
00:28:02banks will worsen Lebanon's situation
00:28:06and will not solve the problem. Because these loans are conditional
00:28:09with well-known political conditions. All banks
00:28:13and international organizations set
00:28:17conditions for the government, conditions for economic reforms,
00:28:21political reforms, the management of governments
00:28:24that are actually dependent on these loans. Today, the Lebanese
00:28:27people who in 1992,
00:28:30meaning 34 years ago.
00:28:38The government at that time received heavy interest rates that keep
00:28:42multiplying. They are paying them without Lebanon's basic
00:28:46infrastructure being properly developed
00:28:49and facing fundamental problems. For example, regarding gasoline in Lebanon,
00:28:52we don't have a proper public transport
00:28:55system at all. So a Lebanese person
00:28:58is forced to drive his own car
00:29:02in most places, and of course, this raises the costs.
00:29:05This is just a brief mention of the situation. One point
00:29:09regarding domestic issues, I just want to mention the possibility
00:29:13of changing a number of ministers in the government cabinet.
00:29:17The removal of the prime minister and the entire government is not
00:29:20being discussed because Saudi Arabia supports Nawaf Salam's government. The serious
00:29:24talk is about a ministerial reshuffle, a few ministries
00:29:27will be changed. Well, we'll have to see what happens in
00:29:31Lebanon, in Gaza. The model that Netanyahu
00:29:34is currently pursuing is the continuation of targeted,
00:29:37continuous assassinations against
00:29:40Palestinians in Gaza, and especially against the resistance
00:29:44in Gaza. The assassination of Hamas commanders,
00:29:47the commander of the Khan Younis brigade, the commander of the Rafah brigade,
00:29:50and the emphasis by both Netanyahu and
00:29:54the defense minister of the regime that this trend will continue,
00:29:57and all of them must be assassinated, even those who are outside of Palestine.
00:30:01The unconventional
00:30:32trap is what is in the south, in southern Lebanon, I mean,
00:30:35including assassinations in a series of assassinations
00:30:39deep inside Lebanon. The situation in Gaza shows
00:30:43that stopping the war does not mean stopping
00:30:46assassinations. How long can
00:30:49this policy continue? Well, today, one
00:30:53of the senior officers of the regime's army
00:30:57for Channel 13, I think, Israeli 13
