00:00:55and the protection of citizens' security will continue
00:00:59with determination. The Speaker of Parliament also emphasized
00:01:03that the assassination of public servants is a sign of the enemy's strategic desperation
00:01:07against the country's social capital.
00:01:10He pointed out that harming these pure lives
00:01:14will have a regretful
00:01:16cost.
00:01:19The Head of the Judiciary also, while offering condolences for the martyrdom
00:01:23of Dr. Nosrat Eftekhari, considered her martyrdom
00:01:26as evidence of this undeniable truth that the region.
00:01:43The involved elements and perpetrators of those crimes should be identified

00:02:32and rogue oil tanker being targeted near the coast of the UAE.
00:02:36More details have not
00:02:39been released.
00:02:47The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) also announced that several
00:02:50ships in UAE waters received a report to leave their
00:02:53berthing location. According to this report,
00:02:57several ships near Ras al-Khaimah in the UAE
00:03:00have been ordered to leave their berthing location
00:03:04and move south to the ship berthing area
00:03:07in Dubai.
00:03:08China
00:03:12warned against the remilitarization of Japan. China's Ministry
00:03:16of Defense, severely criticizing Japan's plan to
00:03:19revise its security documents and strengthen its military capabilities,
00:03:23warned that Japan's rearmament could challenge regional peace
00:03:27and stability. Beijing.
00:03:30Tokyo should adhere to its commitments after World War II
00:03:34and refrain from moving towards
00:03:37rearmament. In recent years,
00:03:40especially since 2022, Japan has accelerated
00:03:43the strengthening of its defense capabilities and the expansion of its military role,
00:03:47and has prioritized achieving counterattack
00:03:51capabilities. Increased Chinese military activities,
00:03:54North Korean missile threats, and security developments related
00:03:58to Russia, are among the reasons Tokyo cites to justify
00:04:01its defense changes.
00:04:03A
00:04:07poll by the Zionist News network
00:04:10shows that Netanyahu has become the most destructive politician
00:04:14for the image of the Zionist regime in the world. According
00:04:18to this poll, 71% of Zionists
00:04:21believe Netanyahu has caused the most damage to the image and
00:04:24credibility of the Zionist regime. This poll
00:04:27was conducted a few days after the speech of the Prime Minister
00:04:30of the Zionist regime at the UN General Assembly and the mass
00:04:34walkout of representatives of dozens of countries from the assembly hall.
00:04:38Also, three weeks before the elections in the occupied
00:04:42territories, the Hebrew newspaper Maariv also, according
00:04:45to its latest poll, announced that only 40%
00:04:49of Zionists prefer Benjamin Netanyahu for prime minister.
00:04:52Construction
00:04:56of the country's largest petrochemical reactor in Shiraz.
00:04:59This reactor, which only three companies in the world are capable
00:05:03of building, weighs 500 tons and is 40 meters long.
00:05:06Foreign companies had previously quoted a price
00:05:10four times higher for its construction than our petrochemical
00:05:13industries. The massive
00:05:16petrochemical reactor, which only three companies in the world have succeeded
00:05:20in building, was constructed in Fars province. Without
00:05:23a doubt, it is one of the most desired pieces of equipment for petrochemical complexes
00:05:27ever built. The design and construction of this reactor, which
00:05:30weighs 500 tons and is 40 meters long, was carried
00:05:34out by engineers and specialists of our country.
00:05:37The engineers we have, all of whom are graduates of our own country's universities,
00:05:41did it.
00:05:43The experience and standards we have also help us
00:05:47to build such equipment. This reactor, which is used
00:05:51for polymer production in the chemical industries, is
00:05:55planned to be installed in one of the petrochemical companies.
00:05:59After its installation, this will bring
00:06:02about a very good transformation in polymer
00:06:05production in the country, and we will see an increase in production in this area.
00:06:09The process of building the body of this reactor, which is made of
00:06:12thick steel plates, was done
00:06:16by a massive bending machine, which is only available
00:06:20in Fars in the Middle East. We have the largest
00:06:23roll machine in the Middle East, which can roll up to
00:06:27310 mm thick. For this particular reactor,
00:06:30given that it has a cone and a high-thickness reducer,
00:06:34this specific equipment was also needed. In previous
00:06:37years, foreigners and Iranian petrochemical companies
00:06:41used to build this reactor.
00:06:45The equipment, exactly. The records of previous
00:06:49purchases were available,
00:06:51and the total cost was about four times what is built
00:06:55in Iran today. Now, not only have we acquired the knowledge to build
00:06:59this heavy equipment, but we also build this
00:07:03equipment for foreigners. We have worked for Oman,
00:07:06we have worked for Azerbaijan, we have worked for Turkey.
00:07:09It has also provided sustainable employment for the youth
00:07:13of our country. The total workforce is approximately 5700 people,
00:07:162200 people are employed
00:07:19in Fars, and we are currently recruiting
00:07:23228 people. The construction of this reactor
00:07:26took 14 months. This 500-ton reactor
00:07:30will be installed in the relevant petrochemical
00:07:33plant in about four months. Saeed Parvizi, IRIB News

00:07:41Stay with us.
00:08:14This homeland is fake.
00:08:18From
00:08:25the 17th century AD,
00:08:28they were dreaming of creating a proper homeland
00:08:31for the Jewish people, but the conditions
00:08:34were not ripe. They laid the groundwork
00:08:38for three centuries to create the conditions
00:08:41for building
00:08:48When England, during its mandate over Palestine, allowed Jews
00:08:51to enter this land with the aim of establishing
00:08:55a Jewish state, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti
00:08:59of Al-Aqsa Mosque, noticed
00:09:01the suspicious immigration of Jews.
00:09:04Therefore, he convened a congress by inviting
00:09:08Islamic dignitaries to prevent this great
00:09:11sedition. But he did not
00:09:14know that Seyyed Ziaeddin Tabatabai
00:09:17was going to Palestine. No one knew
00:09:20that behind this seemingly Islamic and revolutionary connection,
00:09:24a full-fledged Freemason
00:09:27was hiding. A Freemason who, whenever
00:09:31the British government faced obstacles, would step forward
00:09:34to remove them. Like
00:09:37the colonial agreement of 1919
00:09:41between Iran and Britain. In those days, in the cabinet of Vosough
00:09:44al-Dowleh, he went to great lengths to make
00:09:48England a partner in Iran's financial
00:09:51and military affairs, or like the coup
00:09:55in March 1920 and the establishment
00:09:58of the Pahlavi dynasty.
00:10:03Seyyed Zia was from Iran,
00:10:06but the British didn't
00:10:09truly know him, to the extent that some
00:10:13perceived him as a freedom-loving revolutionary.
00:10:16But after numerous acts of sabotage by the then
00:10:19Pahlavi government, he was exiled to Geneva
00:10:23and spent his life there. Even in
00:10:26Geneva, his heart beat for England.
00:10:29When Seyyed Ziaeddin Tabatabai's position
00:10:33as Secretary of the Palestine Congress
00:10:36was strengthened, people trusted him. Seyyed
00:10:40Zia completely left Geneva. He even
00:10:43sold his ancestral home in Iran and went to
00:10:47Palestine. He bought land near Gaza
00:10:51and lived, worked, and farmed like
00:10:54an ordinary person. And in this
00:10:57way, for eight years, he sowed deception and reaped
00:11:01trust. During this time, he bought some Palestinian
00:11:05lands to transfer their ownership to Zionist
00:11:08agencies. And so simply, a famous global
00:11:12lie was formed: that Palestinians themselves
00:11:16sold their lands, without the slightest mention
00:11:19of the details of the matter. Of course, the sale of land to Jews
00:11:23by Seyyed Zia and some Palestinians
00:11:27was limited and temporary. In
00:11:308 years, only 220 thousand hectares of land were
00:11:34sold, which is less than 6% of the land
00:11:37of Palestine. Still, 94% of
00:11:40Palestine was owned by its original owners
00:11:44when Hajj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti,
00:11:46understood the truth of the matter and warned the scholars.
00:11:50A flood of fatwas was issued. The sale of houses
00:11:54by Palestinians to Jewish immigrants was declared
00:11:57forbidden.
00:11:58Ayatollah
00:12:04Kashif al-Ghita took the matter even more
00:12:07seriously and ruled that the sellers
00:12:10were apostates and after death should not
00:12:13be buried in Muslim cemeteries. The fatwas once
00:12:16again blocked the path of the Jews. But
00:12:19this time, the Zionists resorted to force
00:12:23and have created a history of 75 years
00:12:26of crime that is unprecedented in human
00:12:29history. Jewish immigrants, with the support
00:12:33of colonial powers, sacrificed the Palestinian
00:12:36homeowners before the Jewish people.
00:12:58They destroyed the homes over the heads of their original inhabitants
00:13:01and built their own settlements
00:13:05on the ruins. Unaware that the sighs
00:13:08of the Palestinians would haunt them.
00:13:11Even from under tons of rubble.
00:13:37When the sun rose, we headed into the Persian
00:13:39Gulf.
00:13:43A destination that from Gheshr takes about 3 hours
00:13:47to reach the beating heart of Iran's
00:13:50energy, Kharg Island. The topics
00:13:54that
00:14:07but to face the realities in the recent imposed war, they came to the island. There is a lot of humidity,
00:14:10and the weather is very hot. So working is very
00:14:14difficult. Thank God, 10 hours in this hot weather. Look now, thank God,
00:14:17I'm sweating, my dear. What do you
00:14:20call sweat? About 8,000 of Kharg's
00:14:24approximately 20,000 residents work in the petrochemical
00:14:27sector. From all over Iran. Where are you from? Tehran? Where are
00:14:31you from? We have children in Shiraz. We have two children, a son and a daughter. What do
00:14:34you want for their future? I want them to have a brilliant
00:14:38future and to be useful and effective
00:14:41for their country. The importance of Kharg Island is that about
00:14:4593% of oil exports from this
00:14:48point in Iran are done here. If the water injection phase into the reservoir and the
00:14:51gas recovery phase are carried out,
00:14:55the recovery factor of the reservoir will increase by nearly 10% alone. Such
00:14:59a reservoir with this extent, this number means approximately 60
00:15:02billion dollars. Kharg Island is the forefront of Iran's
00:15:05economic power. By God, I also want to reduce it, but increase operations. I accept. Now
00:15:09I will say in front of everyone
00:15:13that the salary ceiling bothers many of our colleagues.
00:15:16This salary ceiling that they have implemented
00:15:19is a bit discouraging. The honorable government should submit a bill
00:15:23so that we can observe this payment justice. Justice in payment does
00:15:27not mean that everyone should receive
00:15:30equal salaries. In the end, the members of the Article 90 Commission of the Parliament promised
00:15:34to turn the approvals of this several-hour trip into law.
00:15:41It has finally stopped here. We will definitely
00:15:44follow up specifically so that
00:15:47it can support the drinking water issue here,
00:15:51and it can support the electricity issue,
00:15:54and it can support employment here.
00:15:57The water and soil here, meaning Kharg Island,
00:16:01are gold, and it is the duty of the government and parliament to work
00:16:05together to remove the challenges and obstacles facing
00:16:09the people of this part of Iran. Babak

00:16:18You might, when you go to a gas station to fill
00:16:21up your car, first think about Trump's catastrophic war
00:16:25in Iran. But the costs of this war affect you and your neighbors
00:16:29in various hidden ways. Chris Murphy, a US
00:16:33Senator who started his trip to West Asia
00:16:36at the beginning of the week.
00:17:39unprecedented. For the first time in my 20 years in Congress, by order of Pete Hexed,
00:17:43I was prevented from entering US military facilities
00:17:46and even meeting with military commanders,
00:17:49so that the costs of the war with Iran would remain hidden. They didn't even
00:17:53allow our army at the Qatari
00:17:56embassy to give me a report on the army's
00:17:59activities. Their media, of course, had already
00:18:03partially revealed
00:18:04the damages.
00:18:09For the first time, we are going to see images of widespread destruction
00:18:13and damage resulting from Iran's missile and drone attacks
00:18:16on various US positions in West Asia. New photos
00:18:20sent by active US Army members to CBS.
00:18:24But the cover-up, even in front of one
00:18:27of the influential senators and preventing his entry
00:18:30into the bases, shows that the scale of destruction
00:18:34is much greater than what is reported in the media.
00:18:45One of the American servicemen present at US bases in the region informed us that the American people are unaware
00:18:49of the true extent of the damage Iranians inflicted on our bases
00:18:53in the region. This issue is kept
00:18:57like a secret, and we behave as if it's not a big
00:19:00deal. The American media Intercept reported today,
00:19:04quoting American officials, that in the war with Iran,
00:19:08some major US bases in the region suffered
00:19:11heavy damage that led to their complete closure,
00:19:15and perhaps the structure of US bases in the
00:19:18region will never return to its previous
00:19:22state. America cannot continue the war with Iran. Whether
00:19:25we want it or not, we must accept that they expelled us
00:19:29from the region. IRIB News

00:19:36The energy earthquake in the West. The Western world is grappling with a crisis
00:19:40that is no longer narrated by statements, but by red numbers
00:19:43and figures on Wall Street. While
00:19:47Trump and European countries are trying to lower fuel prices
00:19:51through measures such as releasing strategic reserves, oil
00:19:54is still trading above $100 per barrel. This is
00:19:58while Vitol, the world's largest crude oil trader,
00:20:02has warned of the possibility of oil prices reaching
00:20:05$200. The real diesel shortage and its effects
00:20:09are already evident. The issue is not just the price. The issue is whether
00:20:13fuel will even be available or not. Bloomberg has reported
00:20:17on the extremely difficult conditions for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz,
00:20:21to the extent that ship owners even offer six months of extra
00:20:24wages to the crew. Port congestion and disruptions in sea routes have
00:20:28turned into a hidden inflationary driver, which, with increasing
00:20:31logistical costs, increases the final price of goods
00:20:35for the end consumer.
00:20:50This is still rising. There will probably be rationing,
00:20:53and this is very concerning for everyone. Now
00:20:57the energy storm has shaken financial markets.
00:21:00The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices, due
00:21:03to the surge in crude oil prices and negative pressure on the shares
00:21:07of chip manufacturers, have put additional pressure
00:21:11on the shares of these companies. In addition
00:21:15to concerns about rising interest rates, the US stock
00:21:19market is in a situation where
00:21:24we are witnessing a massive sell-off of technology company shares, especially
00:21:27those related to artificial intelligence infrastructure.
00:21:31The situation could worsen at any moment.
00:21:34Global oil supply restrictions during the war
00:21:38have driven inflationary pressure to unprecedented levels, and
00:21:42leading economies are more fragile than ever
00:21:45before in the face of blocked
00:21:48vital energy arteries.
00:22:19Are you okay?
00:23:41Following the Israeli attack on the refugee camp, the death toll
00:23:45is still rising. This attack has killed
00:23:48at least 35 people and injured dozens,
00:23:52including women and children. In this airstrike,
00:23:56the refugee camp near a warehouse in the city of Rafah in the southern
00:24:00Gaza Strip was targeted, and large areas were
00:24:03destroyed by the
00:24:04fires.
00:24:13Should we take all of this with us or just the things we need? No, take
00:24:17everything. What's this doing here? Leave it, boy.
00:24:43According to numerous reports from the United Nations and human
00:24:46rights organizations, the lives of Palestinians in Nablus and the West Bank
00:24:58The UN Human Rights Office reported in January 2026
00:25:01that the systematic suffocation of Palestinian rights
00:25:05in the West Bank has intensified, and every
00:25:09aspect of their lives, from access to water, schools, and
00:25:13hospitals to harvesting olives, is controlled
00:25:16and restricted by discriminatory Israeli laws and practices.
00:25:20These pressures have severely disrupted
00:25:23daily life in economic, health, and educational
00:25:26dimensions. According to official Palestinian
00:25:30statistics, the unemployment rate in Nablus is around
00:25:3327.9%, and in some northern areas, it has reached
00:25:36up to 55%, and access to medical centers
00:25:40is difficult due to frequent checkpoint closures.
00:25:44The educational system has also collapsed, and Nablus schools are only
00:25:47open three days a week due to the financial
00:25:51crisis and settler attacks. At the same time, settlers
00:25:54have attacked springs and water pipelines, cutting off vital
00:25:58water sources and leaving thousands of people facing
00:26:01a water crisis. Despite this, the Palestinian
00:26:04people continue to strive for survival, struggle,
00:26:08and resistance. All right, let's start.
00:26:27Why are you laughing? Do you think this is the time
00:26:31to laugh? Take
00:26:57the signal but don't break anything. He's very calm
00:27:01and efficient. This way, it's very important for him not
00:27:04to be inefficient quickly. Yes,
00:27:06exactly.
00:27:11We recorded sound.
00:27:15Yes, great. Give him a high five. I'm very proud
00:27:18of the organization of this ceremony.
00:27:20Thank you. May God have mercy on her.
00:27:24May God have mercy on her. Since I was a child, I knew that she would be killed
00:27:27at the age of 18. Since she was a child, may her
00:27:31soul rest in peace. Laila and the Shadows of War
00:27:35is a free and independent Palestinian video game
00:27:39that was released in 2016 by
00:27:41Rashid Abu Eid for mobile and Windows
00:27:45platforms. This short game narrates
00:27:48the story of a Palestinian father's struggle amidst
00:27:51the nightly bombings of the Gaza War in 2014,
00:27:54to save his daughter Laila from the
00:27:58rubble, hiding behind the tongues of fire and escaping
00:28:01attacks.
00:28:08And only with sound effects of explosions and gunshots,
00:28:12it provides a tense and realistic experience
00:28:15of life in a war zone. Unlike typical games,
00:28:18in Laila, there are no extra lives, superpowers,
00:28:22or a chance to win, and the player ultimately
00:28:25faces a tragic fate. In 2014,
00:28:29another war began in Gaza. I felt
00:28:32that I had to take a step to raise awareness and defend
00:28:36the people of Palestine. I thought that maybe
00:28:38I could make a game and share my experience,
00:28:42because I believe that games are the best medium for sharing
00:28:45emotions and experiences. We started making Laila and the Shadows
00:28:49of War, a computer game
00:28:52based on the real events of that war. So the main
00:28:55reason I'm here is that I still hope that I can open your eyes
00:28:59and raise your awareness by making games.
00:29:03Maybe, just maybe, we can protect
00:29:06the remaining children in Gaza so that they don't become
00:29:10victims of war again, because the shadow of war is always
00:29:14over us, the people of Palestine. We must be very
00:29:17careful.
00:29:18Thank you.
00:29:27So now that you are watching this speech, how do
00:29:30you feel?
00:29:35Sometimes when I wasn't feeling well, I would watch
00:29:38this ceremony. It used to be like that.
00:29:42But after
00:29:43the events
00:29:46we are witnessing these days, I think I need
00:29:50to make more games. The story
00:29:52and suffering
00:29:55of the people
00:29:57of Gaza are still
00:29:59there, but 10,000 times bigger.
00:30:15Today I want to introduce Laila and the Shadows
00:30:18of War. This game was made by a Palestinian
00:30:22named Rashid Abu Eid,
00:30:25and I hope I pronounced his name
00:30:29correctly. This game was inspired by the Gaza War,
00:30:32which the creator experienced firsthand.
00:30:36And this game is based on real events,
00:30:40and the creator said that you should play this game
00:30:43in a dark room with headphones. You know I have headphones,
00:30:47but you know, not a dark room. Okay, you know,
00:30:51before I start, let me get this ready. Okay, for
00:30:54this guy, I think they didn't even give
00:30:57him a name. I'll call him Jeffrey.
