00:00:30The Parliament announced the plan to amend the Criminal Procedure Law and
00:00:33said that according to this amendment, the presence of a lawyer in the preliminary investigation stage
00:00:37with the request of the client is mandatory.
00:00:41If, for any reason,
00:00:44they do not provide the opportunity for a lawyer to be present during the preliminary investigation
00:00:47تحقیقات مقدماتی نزد ضابط این امکان رو فراهم
00:00:50before the officer,
00:00:54all the investigations conducted will not be valid,
00:00:57and if those investigations...
00:01:03If it becomes law, at least in the area of
00:01:07criminal offenses, especially in the area of issuing
00:01:10orders, more than 50% of the people who
00:01:13are currently imprisoned will hopefully not be imprisoned after the approval of this law.
00:01:17The 26th
00:01:20election of school mayor was held in Tehran schools.
00:01:24Students who are elected as school mayor,
00:01:27in addition to their responsibilities towards the school and the demands of the students,
00:01:30also cooperate with
00:01:34the mayors of Tehran municipalities in addressing urban problems
00:01:37around the school.
00:01:38کند.
00:01:42School mayors are elected in 700
00:01:45schools in the capital, with one mayor
00:01:49and three deputy mayors in each school. What do you
00:01:53want the school mayor to do for you? I want them to build
00:01:56a school that is much better than other places.
00:02:00We should have a lot of discipline. I want them to try
00:02:03to make the school highly advanced.
00:02:07The school mayor offers students the opportunity to experience
00:02:10responsibility, participation, and collective decision-making.
00:02:14Inside the school,
00:02:17we received about 3 days of training.
00:02:21I want to improve the school and keep the area around
00:02:24and inside the school cleaner. I am a student
00:02:28who had the honor of serving as deputy school mayor last year,
00:02:32and this year, with more experience and motivation, I am here
00:02:36to serve the school and students again.
00:02:40I want some cultural, artistic, or sports
00:02:43competitions to be held between classes so that
00:02:47children can show their talents. With the cooperation of these
00:02:51dear deputies, they will address the school's problems. Also, an additional authority
00:02:54has been given to these dear students to inspect
00:02:58the 500-meter radius around the school, with the cooperation of school officials,
00:03:01to examine the problems and generally
00:03:05identify them. The opinions of school mayors
00:03:09are influential not only in the school but also in the urban environment
00:03:12around it. We have obliged
00:03:16our respected district mayors and their liaisons
00:03:18to take the school student mayors very seriously.
00:03:22It should not be a symbolic act
00:03:24but a real operational act.
00:03:28Alireza Karami, IRIB News Agency.
00:03:30The rest of the news:
00:03:33Trump is consulting with his allies to determine who is to blame for the failure and consequences
00:03:36of the war with Iran.
00:03:40Clash Report, citing the Atlantic magazine, reported on the behind-the-scenes efforts of the US President
00:03:44to find a scapegoat for the failures of the confrontation
00:03:48with Tehran. Donald Trump is extremely
00:03:52angry about the failure of promises related to a quick war against Iran
00:03:55and the blow to the Republican Party on the eve of the midterm elections,
00:03:58and he is looking for a culprit. The Atlantic magazine
00:04:02revealed that then-Secretary of War Jim Mattis was under
00:04:06heavy scrutiny and pressure for painting an unrealistic picture of the war against Iran
00:04:09and merely saying what the President wanted to hear.
00:04:13The US Secretary of War and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
00:04:17are at the center of this interrogation and internal White House
00:04:20evaluations.
00:04:24News sources reported a new missile attack by the Yemeni army on positions of Saudi-backed forces
00:04:27in Lahj province.
00:04:31More details about the type of missiles, the extent of damage, and potential casualties
00:04:35of this attack have not been released. At the same time, Hizam Asad, a member
00:04:38of the political bureau of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen, said:
00:04:42Saudi Arabia has opened a door for itself by targeting merchant ships
00:04:45in the port of Ras Issa in Hodeidah province, which
00:04:49it will not be able to close. The Yemeni Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:04:52also announced that the escalation of Saudi attacks and aggression
00:04:56by targeting civilian infrastructure and civilians
00:05:00will be met with painful responses against this country and its facilities.
00:05:03On Sunday evening, Saudi fighter jets targeted civilian trucks
00:05:07at the docks of the commercial port of Ras Issa in
00:05:11Al Hudaydah in western Yemen.

00:05:19The wives of martyrs became storytellers of the Night of Memories.
00:05:23This program, as one of the continuous events of the Art Center,
00:05:26has been held since 1993 with
00:05:30the aim of recording and revisiting the memories of those who experienced the Sacred Defense
00:05:34and important events of the Islamic Revolution.
00:05:37شود.
00:05:41Muhammad Haidar, one year old. With his mother, they were invited
00:05:44to a gathering full of memories,
00:05:47life, and days that are now colored
00:05:50with longing. "Why didn't you bring a flower?"
00:05:53"Let a flower come to me right now." I said, "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful."
00:05:57We got up and went forward, and a flower,
00:06:00a servant of God, gave it to us. This gathering, where this
00:06:04mother and her infant son are narrating one of those stories. We got married in
00:06:082020, and in
00:06:092021,
00:06:24four months after the martyrdom of Mr. Hossein, exactly at
00:06:2712:30 AM, which is the time of Mr. Hossein's ascension, he was born.
00:06:30I asked, "How do you introduce your martyred husband to
00:06:34Mohammad Haidar?" It's a pity
00:06:38that they didn't see their father. I always tell them
00:06:41that their father loved them passionately,
00:06:45even though they had not seen him, and they were eagerly awaiting
00:06:49the birth of Mohammad Haidar. And now, the mother is left
00:06:52with a great responsibility. I remembered his words
00:06:56that emphasized that all my thoughts and focus should be on my son
00:07:00and his health and upbringing. I gathered all
00:07:03my strength to be a good
00:07:06mother and father for my son.
00:07:10But Mr. Hossein's activities were not limited to home.
00:07:13Wherever there was a need, he was a pioneer
00:07:17in helping the deprived and
00:07:20worked diligently for these deprived areas. After his marriage,
00:07:24jihadist camps were very important to Hossein.
00:07:28It can be said that it was the first concern of his life.
00:07:31But perhaps when Mohammad Haidar grows up, he will know that
00:07:35in the first months of his life, his mother took him to a gathering
00:07:38that was meant to talk about his father, شهید
00:07:42Hossein Karimi, a man whom he never got to see,
00:07:46but whose life story can be a guiding light
00:07:49for his future and others.

00:07:58End of this news section. Thank you for your companionship.
00:08:56In the history of military developments of the current century, the transition from
00:09:00classic battles to smart and non-linear patterns
00:09:03has been the result of the demands of the battlefield in the field
00:09:06of modern warfare. The army of the
00:09:09Islamic Republic of Iran achieved this structural
00:09:13report not in experimental conditions, but in the midst of one of
00:09:16the longest territorial defenses.
00:09:20During the years of the Sacred Defense,
00:09:22the limited access to spare parts for the air fleet,
00:09:26the obsolescence of strategic assets,
00:09:29and the blockage of international procurement channels
00:09:32forced the army to create new
00:09:35combat platforms and led it towards
00:09:39the program of creating UAV units
00:09:42in the first generations, such as Mohajer and Ababil
00:09:46aircraft. However, this
00:09:50experience turned into a research and engineering foundation
00:09:54that, over four decades later, transformed the air and missile
00:09:57defense doctrine of the army from a consumer of ready-made
00:10:01systems to a producer of independent flight networks
00:10:05and at the forefront of global knowledge.
00:10:08The scale of the army's UAV maturity
00:10:12in modern military confrontations, especially in
00:10:16dense regional battles such as the 12-day
00:10:19and Ramadan wars, indicates a significant
00:10:22and remarkable qualitative leap,
00:10:25as these battles took place in environments
00:10:28where multiple defensive layers,
00:10:32multi-layer air defenses, active phased array radar
00:10:36coverage, beyond-the-horizon radars,
00:10:38and an integrated point missile defense umbrella
00:10:42were dominant.
00:10:45The fact that we produce our own drones
00:10:49in our own industries, in our own facilities,
00:10:52and wherever we could, and that it is not limited to these
00:10:55specific conditions and locations, we have produced, updated,
00:10:59rebuilt, overhauled, and upgraded
00:11:02them, and considering the conditions and operations in the 12-day war
00:11:06and the Ramadan war, ceasefire,
00:11:09and the events that have occurred throughout these wars,
00:11:12we have been able to update our conditions
00:11:16and coordinate our actions and equipment more with operational needs,
00:11:19and until our belief regarding
00:11:22the situations that arise in different wars,
00:11:26even though the enemy is constantly changing its war tactics,
00:11:29we also change these tactics and
00:11:32update them. Well, one of the most important things is that
00:11:36the origin of these products and
00:11:39these developments are all domestic, our experts are local,
00:11:43our industry and technology, and our knowledge and drone production
00:11:46are all from us, and we have been able to overcome the challenges
00:11:50that existed on the battlefield and respond to
00:11:53the missions that were assigned
00:12:15to us, so that during these battles,
00:12:19the design of flight geometry, modern combat patterns,
00:12:22attack structure, and even geographical planning
00:12:26were shaped in such a way that the enemy's command
00:12:29and control systems, despite using all their
00:12:33power, suffered algorithmic
00:12:36and operational helplessness.
00:12:40The Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran, by managing
00:12:43successive flight waves, in the first step,
00:12:46imposed the equation of cost exchange and radar and defense saturation
00:12:50on air defense systems, and in practice,
00:12:54eliminated the enemy's absolute air superiority,
00:12:58and for the first time in the history of modern warfare,
00:13:01in a highly entrenched war zone,
00:13:04it demonstrated its offensive capability in the tactical depth
00:13:07and at the command centers, communication nodes,
00:13:11and logistical depots of the enemy.

00:13:19During the 40-day war,
00:13:21روزه
00:13:24we used precision-strike drones that
00:13:28basically, we should say, surgically
00:13:31targeted American bases. They precisely
00:13:34targeted the infrastructural radar facilities
00:13:38of these bases with great accuracy
00:13:41and surgically destroyed
00:13:45their targets.
00:13:49The main blow was delivered to the exact point
00:13:52that it needed to be. For example,
00:13:56an AWACS aircraft that was on the ground
00:14:00and intended to move, was also moving
00:14:03in its flight
00:14:06path on the ground. Well, it was targeted.
00:14:09This is one of the capabilities of this
00:14:13weapon. Also, other
00:14:16American bases in the region were similarly
00:14:19targeted. The bases of anti-revolutionary and separatist elements
00:14:22in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq were targeted by precision-strike
00:14:26drones with accurate information
00:14:29we had about the presence of anti-revolutionary and separatist
00:14:33elements in these bases. These bases
00:14:37were repeatedly, in fact, we were able to
00:14:41target them with great accuracy.
00:14:44The sign of this is that you saw that
00:14:48the anti-revolutionaries and separatists who
00:14:51were armed and equipped by the Americans
00:14:55were not able to carry out
00:14:58any operations
00:15:00against us.
00:15:04Perhaps, from a technical perspective, the greatest achievement of this
00:15:08drone doctrine is the engineering definition of
00:15:11survivability and resilience of the battle chain in the face
00:15:15of the most intense layers of electronic warfare
00:15:18and preemptive attacks. So much so that in environments
00:15:22with high wave density, where transmissions
00:15:27on global positioning bands and widespread interference in
00:15:30radio waves have become a daily
00:15:33standard, the army's unmanned
00:15:37aerial vehicles, by moving away from traditional
00:15:40control and GPS-dependent guidance,
00:15:43adopted integrated navigation systems, the results of which
00:15:47were visible on the battlefield. At the same time,
00:15:51the strategy of dispersion of operational bases,
00:15:54changing flight patterns, and the architecture of the
00:15:58battlefield led to projectile resilience and communication
00:16:01immunity until the final target
00:16:04was hit. In principle,
00:16:38in our defense doctrine, unmanned aerial vehicles
00:16:42have a special place, and extensive
00:16:45and detailed work is underway
00:16:49on all of these stages,
00:16:52including production, distribution,
00:16:56maintenance, and
00:16:59training on how to use them, which is extremely important.
00:17:02Today, our comrades have very good
00:17:05skills. My point is that
00:17:09we have reached a very good level of maturity
00:17:13in terms of skill in using them, training, and all aspects
00:17:17of their operation today.
00:17:20New technologies developed in the army's new systems
00:17:24have shifted the conventional boundaries of weapon
00:17:27scale. Modern generations
00:17:30of drones such as Arash and Kian are only a part
00:17:34of the offensive value chain, which
00:17:38few experts could have predicted
00:17:41their effectiveness to this extent.
00:17:45However, on the other hand, the development and field integration of first-person
00:17:49view aircraft or micro-drones
00:17:51symbolize the entry of the armed forces
00:17:55into the era of micro-dynamic
00:17:58and ultra-agile weapons. Combat micro-drones
00:18:02and suicide quadcopters, by entering
00:18:05blind radar layers,
00:18:07and with non-linear maneuverability, penetrate
00:18:11defensive corridors and directly hit
00:18:14point targets such as early warning radars,
00:18:18optical equipment, armored vehicles,
00:18:21and the entrances of concrete fortifications.
00:18:25The combination
00:18:28of micro-drones with group flight doctrine
00:18:31has created a balanced engagement matrix,
00:18:34the operational result of which has brought
00:18:37the accuracy and success of operations to a near
00:18:41zero error margin.
00:18:43We have integrated
00:18:47this tool
00:18:49into the army's combat organization, meaning
00:18:53that just as we have developed the organization
00:18:56as an independent drone unit,
00:18:59the army's drone groups operate in different
00:19:03forces.
00:19:11They are used for reconnaissance operations and, of course,
00:19:15combat operations on a much smaller
00:19:18scale, and this is institutionally integrated
00:19:21today in the combat organization of ground,
00:19:25air, and naval
00:19:28units. These are foreseen
00:19:32and produced. These are small scales,
00:19:35but at a higher
00:19:37scale, as I mentioned, kamikaze,
00:19:41combat, and reconnaissance drones
00:19:45have been developed. Based on this, the review
00:19:48and analysis of data from recent battlefields indicate
00:19:52that the volume and quality of casualties
00:19:55and damages inflicted on the enemy's war machine
00:19:59were the result of a completely calculated process,
00:20:02and coordinated drone attacks
00:20:05not only crippled the support and logistical
00:20:09arteries, hangar systems, radar defense lines,
00:20:12and enemy deployment bases, but also, more importantly,
00:20:16brought into crisis the psychological balance
00:20:19and security doctrines that relied on expensive
00:20:22Western technologies. Multi-layered detection
00:20:26and interception systems, which claimed
00:20:29100% impenetrability, became practically
00:20:32ineffective in the face of maneuver initiatives
00:20:36and flight profile design
00:20:39at very low altitudes.
00:20:42Post-incident analysis of damaged
00:20:45bases indicated precise
00:20:49hits on control and command
00:20:53rooms, weapons transport
00:20:55lines, and communication nodes,
00:20:59which cut off the operational continuity
00:21:03of the enemy at a critical time.
00:21:05Today, the Army of the Islamic
00:21:09Republic of Iran, relying on scientific
00:21:12self-sufficiency, designing hybrid systems,
00:21:15integrating indigenous microelectronics with modern
00:21:19aerodynamic engineering, and transforming the
00:21:22battlefield doctrine, has transformed
00:21:25UAV capability from a mere support capacity
00:21:28to the backbone of national deterrence.
00:21:31An objective assessment of the developments indicates
00:21:35that this power has not
00:21:38only played a fundamental role in stabilizing
00:21:41the balance of power, but has also redefined
00:21:45the geometry of future wars with the
00:21:48name and engineering capability of Iranian combatants.
00:23:20As a result, we don't understand important realities, including
00:23:23that Iran has one of the highest ratios of specialists
00:23:27and researchers with doctoral degrees and peer-reviewed
00:23:31scientific works. Iranians are among the most educated
00:23:34people in the world. Iran has a prominent
00:23:38position in mathematics, physics, and various sciences.
00:23:42This superiority is not limited to academia, but also reflects
00:23:46how Iran's economy and industry develop.
00:23:50I was familiar with some of Iran's military achievements.
00:23:53These achievements are truly impressive. Such advancements are only
00:23:57possible if Iran has mastered advanced technologies.
00:24:00Frankly, in some areas, the technologies that Iran has achieved
00:24:03are even beyond America's capabilities.
00:24:07Some of the work Iran is doing in ballistic missiles
00:24:11is truly astounding. These capabilities are admirable.
00:24:14Iran is very capable in quickly identifying
00:24:17these technologies and then analyzing
00:24:20how they work and finding ways to counter
00:24:24them. We had a 40-day war with you.
00:24:28I believe a large part of the actions Iran took during this period
00:24:32were to test the missile defense capabilities of the United States,
00:24:35Israel, and the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf,
00:24:39so that later it could find solutions
00:24:42to the problems it identified. Today, I believe
00:24:46Iran has found the necessary solutions and has integrated them
00:24:50into its current ballistic missile capabilities. We believe that
00:24:53we have limited ability to defend against Iranian missiles.
00:24:57Because we look at the successes we achieved during
00:25:00this conflict. But we don't realize
00:25:04that those were not actually successes,
00:25:07but tests from which Iran learned
00:25:11and adapted its capabilities to the new conditions.
00:25:15I don't think we have a solution to the Iran issue.
00:25:18Therefore, I believe we are entering a situation
00:25:34Given these reports, what is your opinion on the military capabilities
00:25:37of the United States?
00:25:42Well, first of all, I respect the men and women who wear the military
00:25:45uniform in the United States. They joined the army
00:25:49not to fight against Iran, but to defend their country.
00:25:53Unfortunately, the government asks them to do things
00:25:56they don't want to do. But we must also be realistic.
00:26:00The United States fought a 40-day war against you,
00:26:03and I must say we lost. That's the reality.
00:26:07We didn't win. There's another point I want the Iranian people
00:26:11to understand. People say America lost in Vietnam.
00:26:15Yes, we lost politically in Vietnam. But the Vietnamese
00:26:19never defeated us on the battlefield.
00:26:22Never. We also lost politically in Afghanistan.
00:26:26But the Taliban never defeated us on the battlefield.
00:26:30We were undefeated on the battlefield. The American soldier
00:26:33was undefeated. If we entered a battle,
00:26:37we would win that battle. But this is the first time in American history
00:26:41that we lost. The Iranians defeated us. You literally
00:26:44defeated us. The Iranians won by making sure
00:26:48we didn't achieve any of our goals.
00:26:51You defeated us because you had a better plan
00:26:55than us. We don't have a solution to counter your missiles.
00:26:58We cannot intercept and destroy them in sufficient numbers.
00:27:02You are still producing missiles, and you are still improving
00:27:06them. Your drones are also very
00:27:09effective, and your air defense system is also
00:27:12effective. We like to say we defeated you. But if
00:27:16that happened, why were our planes still being lost at the end
00:27:19of the war? The reason is that we had not defeated
00:27:23you. You are smarter than us. You know us better
00:27:26than we know you. Since the end
00:27:30of the war, nothing has happened to convince me
00:27:33that the United States has learned the necessary lessons to be able
00:27:37to change the course of future battles. Our ammunition
00:27:41for defending ourselves will run out. The ammunition we have for attacking
00:27:44Iran will also run out. But the Iranians
00:27:48will not run out of ammunition, and in the end,
00:27:51we will once again be defeated in battle with the Iranians.
00:27:54Finally,
00:27:57I want to ask you a question about the resistance of the Iranian people.
00:28:01We are in Iran.
00:28:21I need to speak carefully here because I am an American,
00:28:24as you know. I stand against aggressive
00:28:28and illegal wars. I opposed the attack on Iraq,
00:28:31and I oppose the current conflict against Iran.
00:28:35For some time, I have been trying to make the American people remember
00:28:39what it means to be responsible and worthy citizens.
00:28:42There was a time when we gathered a million people in Washington
00:28:46to fight for civil rights. The American people have a long history
00:28:50of civil disobedience and protests that lead to change.
00:28:53But in recent years, we can no longer continue these movements
00:28:57continuously. One day we protest.
00:29:01Here we have a movement called "No to Kings,"
00:29:05which opposes Donald Trump. One day, hundreds of thousands of people are brought
00:29:08to the streets, but the next day, everyone goes home
00:29:11because we don't have the commitment and perseverance needed to continue
00:29:15this movement. Therefore, when you tell me that hundreds of thousands
00:29:19and perhaps even millions of Iranians filled the streets
00:29:22of Iranian cities for more than 20 consecutive nights,
00:29:26I am truly amazed. This level of commitment
00:29:29is truly astounding because it shows
00:29:33that people believe in what they are doing. In the West, they say
00:29:36these people are paid to be in the streets. But you cannot buy people
00:29:40to stand in the street for more than 20 consecutive nights. Those who go to the streets
00:29:44believe in what they are doing and in their cause,
00:29:48and the reason for this belief is that we, the United States,
00:29:51have committed a horrific act of aggression against
00:29:54you. We assassinated Ayatollah Khamenei.
00:29:58We killed his grandson and massacred children in Minab.
00:30:01The Iranian people are aware of this incident,
00:30:05and these issues have greatly angered them.
00:30:09In my opinion, before the war began, there were still concerns
00:30:12among the Iranian people. Economic dissatisfaction certainly
00:30:16existed. People were asking what happened to the economy,
00:30:20and they came to the streets to protest. The Iranian government said, "We hear you,"
00:30:23but the CIA and Mossad tried to use these
00:30:27protests to achieve other goals. Before the war, there was opposition
00:30:31from the people to the government. But the US and Israel launched
00:30:34a war against Iran. They assassinated Ayatollah Khamenei,
00:30:38attacked Minab school, and killed people.
00:30:42How did the Iranian people react? They come to the streets every night
00:30:46and stand united, saying, "We are Iran.
00:30:50There is no separation between us and the government. Any differences we had before
00:30:53are no longer relevant today. We are united to defend Iran.
00:30:57To defend our country, our faith."
