00:01:46dissatisfied and provoking them to protest, but the Iranian people will

00:03:09of the islamic revolution as well as military commanders and scientists by the

00:03:39Iran's foreign ministry spokesman says a joint statement between Iran
00:03:43and oman on the straight of hormos is now the
00:03:46stage of final review and
00:03:49of of drafting described the talks with
00:03:50of oman on managing maritime traffic in the strategic waterways professional
00:03:54adding that both sides have agreed on the
00:03:58root coordinates he stress that the closure
00:04:01of the straight of hormos was the result of US and Israeli regimes aggression
00:04:04against Iran, the spokesman said and Iran Oman understanding
00:04:08alone cannot mean that the straight has
00:04:12of become safe for passing vessels as the factors causing
00:04:16in security including the US naval blockade still remain. He also said
00:04:20talks between Iran and
00:04:21a Doman as the two coastal states
00:04:24of the straight of hormos have been underway over the past two months to
00:04:28establish safe route for. for commercial
00:04:30shipping,
00:04:35historian and investigative journalist says, it's on Iran and
00:04:39Doman to decide about the management
00:04:41of the hormos straight, and no superpower has
00:04:45the right to
00:04:46intervene.
00:04:50Iran will always have
00:04:52of influence over the straights of horm, I mean if they want to
00:04:56close it, if you want to close the straights, you can, no... is going to
00:05:00be able to stop you do doing that, in fact, that it would be almost
00:05:03unthinkable uh, it's like
00:05:05of saying that the British have got no influence over the English channel, or the
00:05:09Americans have got no influence over the Hudson River. uh next to
00:05:13Manhattan Island uh so you anyone that says
00:05:16otherwise is going into the realms of absurdity.
00:05:20Oman and Iran are on the scene. America is
00:05:24four, four and a half, maybe even more thousand miles
00:05:27away, and so obviously the American
00:05:30um involvement with the straights of hm is
00:05:34is really an imposition, it's a bit of churts
00:05:38part, the Americans are trying to project their power around the world.
00:05:42they're not doing too well, this is something for Aman and
00:05:46Iran to decide, it's not for
00:05:48the the superpowers to intervene, the Chinese are not intervening, the Russians are not
00:05:52intervening uh, but the Americans seem to think it's their business
00:05:56to shut off uh fertilizer and oil for the rest
00:06:00the world - and and I can tell you why I think that is, if you look at
00:06:03the um profits the oil company BP in the last
00:06:07quarter those profits have soored 50% in one
00:06:11quarter. so that's an equivalent of
00:06:14200% a year, profits, that is, not turnover,
00:06:18profit soaring, and so what you've seen is the oil
00:06:22majors uh, making an absolute fortune, and of
00:06:26course all insiders who know what Trump's about to announce just
00:06:29before, Iran's
00:06:33industry minister Muhammad has visited
00:06:36Pakistan for talks seem to boosting bilateral economic
00:06:39cooperation, he in Pakistan's commerce minister. co-chair at the
00:06:43latest session the joint trade committee between the two countries, both sides
00:06:47reaffirm their commitment to increase the annual trade to 10 billion dollars,
00:06:50press tv's
00:06:51now sir kosmi reports from
00:06:53Islamabad.
00:06:56Pakistan and Iran have signed a memorandum of understanding to deepen
00:07:00trade and commercial cooperation, marking another milestone in their
00:07:04efforts to strengthen bilateral economic relations. The
00:07:07agreement was signed during the 10th session the Pakistan Iran joint
00:07:11trade committee. co- chaired by Iran's minister of industry, mine
00:07:15and trade Mohammed Atabak and Pakistan's commerce
00:07:19minister Jam Kamal Khan. The two sides reaffirmed their
00:07:23commitment to increasing annual bilateral trade to 10 billion US
00:07:26dollars. It's not something out of reach. I'm
00:07:30quite optimistic that this amount will be
00:07:34reached and uh it's not something that
00:07:37is out of touch. So uh, there are few
00:07:41things
00:07:41that if we..." sol it definitely will
00:07:45be even above that, discussion were mainly
00:07:49on trade, how we can
00:07:52increase the trade amount
00:07:55with Pakistan, a
00:07:59neighboring and brother nation right
00:08:03beside us. The memorandum outlines a road map for expanding
00:08:06economic cooperation by activating border economic regions,
00:08:10increasing border trade with private sector participation,
00:08:14exchanging technical delegations and immediately
00:08:17implementing existing bilateral agreements.
00:08:21Iranian and Pakistani officials also agreed to continue
00:08:24working toward a formal free trade agreement. The aim is
00:08:28to see and strengthen the bilateral
00:08:32trade relationship in between both the countries for
00:08:35which both the countries leadership have set a
00:08:39target of 10 billion dollars and for that purp.
00:08:42first we are seeing those opportunities way
00:08:45forward, the bottle necks
00:08:48which restrict free
00:08:51trade in between the countries and at the same time we are
00:08:55also working a FTA in between Pakistan and
00:08:59Iran. On the sidelines the committee meeting, business
00:09:03officials of both countries met at the Federation of Pakistan Chambers
00:09:07of Commerce and Industry. They discuss the challenges facing
00:09:11bilateral trade. and propose measures to increase commercial
00:09:14exchanges through stronger private sector engagement, improved
00:09:18border infrastructure and simplified trade
00:09:21procedures. kafi discussion hui. one the key topics
00:09:25discussed with the visiting Iranian minister was the establishment of
00:09:29a joint industrial zone where a wide range of industries could
00:09:33operate. we also discussed the gas pipeline project. since
00:09:36energy is one of Pakistan's highest production costs, the pipeline could
00:09:40significantly reduce the cost. of gas and electricity in our
00:09:44country. There are also many products that Iran manufactures at
00:09:48very reasonable prices and we intend to import them from
00:09:51Iran. During his visit, Minister Atabak met Prime
00:09:55Minister Shahbaz Sharif. He thanked Pakistan for its mediation
00:09:59efforts aimed at ending the war the United States and Israel
00:10:03launched against Iran earlier this year. The frequency
00:10:07of high level visit suggests Pakistan and Iran are committed to
00:10:11deepening their strategic economic. economic partnership, both countries are
00:10:14now focused on expanding trade, strengthening industrial
00:10:18cooperation and achieving their shared 10 billion dollar
00:10:21annual trade target. Nasir Kazmi reported. forpress
00:10:25tv in
00:10:27Islamabad. The Israeli
00:10:31regime has attacked the galandia refugee camp in the occupied West Bank for the second
00:10:35consecutive day. Soldiers raided over dozen houses and clashed with
00:10:39Palestinians a used live fire and teargas to disperse
00:10:42protesters angry over the repeated
00:10:45incursions. The Palestinian Red Creson
00:10:48says, "11 people have been injured in Thursday's attacks.
00:10:52Local Palestinian officials in Gallania say the..." ongoing military
00:10:56operation involves the destruction of homes, the theft of money
00:10:59and uh gold and jewelry and the conversion
00:11:03of eight residential properties into military
00:11:05barracks. the Israely military says the operation can go
00:11:09on for days in order to root out the quote terrorist
00:11:13infrastructure. galandia is key um

00:11:25south.
00:11:32Israeli forces launched a large-scale raid on galandia refugee
00:11:35camp in the central occupied west bank in the early hours of Wednesday.
00:11:39hundreds of soldiers armored vehicles and
00:11:42bulldozers uh were deployed.
00:11:45residents fear the operation could turn into a prolonged military campaign
00:11:49similar to those carried out in refugee camps across the
00:11:53northern West Bank in the past months.
00:12:03occupied al-Quds woke to the sounds of military buldozers as
00:12:06Israeli forces stormed the camp overnight, neighborhoods were
00:12:10surrounded and homes were
00:12:12searched.
00:12:16since midnight Israeli forces have entered kalania with large numbers
00:12:20of infantry, military jeeps, bulldozers and armored
00:12:24vehicles. They storm homes, smashing and damaging property
00:12:28without regard for children, women or the elderly. Even medics and
00:12:32journalists have been targeted, two paramedics were arrested, and we came
00:12:36under direct fire inside the camp, but despite everything, we
00:12:39remain here and we will stay. Community volunteers say
00:12:43many people have remained confined inside their houses since the
00:12:47operation
00:12:48began.
00:13:25West bank, the same model it applied in the northern refugee camps.
00:13:28Beyond the military dimension, the operation also sends a political
00:13:32message that pressure on Palestinian communities will continue,
00:13:36while Israel's leadership seeks to strengthen its position among right-wing and
00:13:40far-right
00:13:40voters. For
00:13:44residents of Qalandia, today's operation has raised
00:13:48fears that their camp could face the same prolonged military
00:13:51campaign experienced elsewhere in the west bank. Many
00:13:55worry that what began as overnight raids could evolve into a
00:13:59broader strategy, targeting refugee camps across the occupied
00:14:03territories. The escalation targeting refugee camps across the
00:14:07west bank is nothing new, but the latest attack on Colindia
00:14:11marks another step in efforts to undermine Palestinian rights
00:14:15of return and erode their broader rights.

00:14:22bank.
00:14:26The Israeli regime launches new attacks on southern Lebanon in violation of a cease fire
00:14:30deal with the Arab country. The latest strikes targeted areas uh in
00:14:34and around the city of Tyre, woaning at least four people. The
00:14:38attacks forced many residents to leave their homes. Witnesses also
00:14:42reported continuous Israeli artillery shelling in the area. The attacks
00:14:45came after the uh Israeli regime confirm the
00:14:49killing of two of its soldiers and the
00:14:53injury of several others. and an explosion entire
00:14:57district, according to Lebanon's health ministry, since March

00:15:04people and wonded more than 12,250
00:15:07others.
00:15:14As Yemen's armed forces continue enforcing naval blockade on Saudi
00:15:18shipping, a maritime tracking service has reported a sharp
00:15:21drop and shipping traffic through the Babal Mandips. straight the
00:15:25report by Kepler said only one
00:15:29commodity vessel cross Sababab on Wednesday down from
00:15:3320 the previous day. It said average of 41 ships across the
00:15:36strategic. waterway each day in the week before the naval blockade was
00:15:40announced, the report comes following Yemen's armed forces spokesperson
00:15:44announcing on Wednesday that the country's forces have
00:15:47targeted eight Saudi oil tankers since the blockade began on
00:15:51July the 22nd. He added the 29 Saudi oil tankers
00:15:55have been prevented from proceeding and forced to turn back in the Red
00:15:59Sea and the Arabian sea. Yemen has been under decade long
00:16:03bloccade by Saudi Arabia following years of war and a
00:16:06tentative. "the situation escalated again after a Saudi
00:16:10attack on Santa International Airport. Since then, Yemen has been
00:16:14implementing a blockade for blockade policy on
00:16:17Riyadh.
00:16:22We have any health officials have warned that years of blockade
00:16:25and air restrictions have pushed the country's healthcare system
00:16:29to the brink of collapse, a press conference in San, they said millions of
00:16:33people are being denied access to essential healthcare while thousands.
00:16:37critically old patients remain stranded. Press TV's Yahyazi reports from
00:16:41Sanha.
00:16:45Sanha airport, the primary lifeline for millions of civilians,
00:16:49remains under crushing stranglehold, following a trust between
00:16:52Yemen's warning sides in April 2022, flights were
00:16:56restricted to just a single destination, breaking
00:16:59agreements to expand rout. The crisis escalated further after
00:17:03Israeli strikes forced the airport to closer last year. That
00:17:07comes as Saudi authorities continue to deny commercial carriers access to
00:17:11Sanhaz airspace, most recently preventing an Iranian
00:17:15flight from londing last month.
00:17:19Before the aggression, more than 2.5 million passengers traveled through
00:17:23Sena International Airport annually. While during the Truise
00:17:27period, that number hasn't even reached around 100
00:17:30thousand. That's only about 3%, restricted
00:17:34to a single destination and a single airline.
00:17:40The air blockade has transformed infrastructure crisis into a mass
00:17:43health catastrophe
00:17:45over 1600 pharmaceutical items have completely
00:17:48disappeared from yemani markets since temperature sensitive
00:17:52medications cannot survive months of delayed land
00:17:55transport through hudaida port. The cluture of Sanha airport has
00:17:59severed the supply line for viral chemotherapy and called chain
00:18:03drugs.
00:18:07at least 12,00 patients who need apet scan.
00:18:10this means they are forced to travel abroad just to get
00:18:14which ap is
00:18:15scan, a form of imaging and then return back here with the
00:18:18results. this is completely unreasonable
00:18:22and illogical. the crisis stems from
00:18:26direct military targeting and economic strungulation. as
00:18:29result, local drug prediction has been cribbled, leaving millions
00:18:33of people with chronic disease unable to afford even basic
00:18:37care. two pharmaceutical factories were
00:18:40directly targeted by enemy air strikes. On top of that,
00:18:44the airport closure and transport delays have inflated medicine prices by
00:18:48200% and 83 medicine companies have withdrawn from the market due
00:18:52to the import
00:18:53restrictions.
00:18:57Officials empathize that the air blockade acts as silent war
00:19:01that kills patients long before medical supplies
00:19:04ever reach the tarmac. with Sana airport
00:19:08handling 90% of Yemen's medical import, officials stress
00:19:12that keeping these runways closed isn't just a blocate for 31
00:19:16million people. It is deliberate death sentence.

00:19:2581st anniversary the US atomic bombing the
00:19:29western Japanese city. Prime Minister Asana itakaichi let the
00:19:33commemorations at the peace Memorial Park. She pledged to do
00:19:37everything. power to realize a world without nuclear weapons and
00:19:40lasting peace about 50,000 people, including
00:19:43representatives, some some 120 countries and regions attended
00:19:47the ceremony, a USB-29 bomber dropped a
00:19:5015 kiloton uranium bomb on Hiroshima
00:19:54on August 6th, 1945, killing an
00:19:58estimated 140,000 people, three days after the
00:20:02devastation in Hiroshima, US dropped a plutonium bomb on
00:20:06the city of Nagasaki. killing
00:20:0874,000 more
00:20:10people.
00:20:17Japan is marking 81 years since the United States dropped a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima,
00:20:21leaving some 150,00 people. Dead government officials and
00:20:25delegates from many countries have attended the memorial ceremony to show
00:20:28respect to the victims the 1945 bomb
00:20:32attack. We have more in this
00:20:33report. the
00:20:37final stages of World War II in 1945, US
00:20:41Army Air Force preparing to drop the 4000 kilogram uranium bomb
00:20:45code named Little Boy on the Japanese city of Hiroshima and the morning of
00:20:49August 6. turned into a time of tragedy the world will never
00:20:52forget. when the little boy was dropped on the city, 70,00
00:20:56people were incinerated immediately. another 7000 died of
00:21:00injuries and radiation exposure in the following years. the US
00:21:04dropped a second atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki just few days
00:21:08later, right a time when news the first catastrophe were
00:21:11surfacing. that second attack took the lives of 70,000
00:21:15more
00:21:15people.
00:21:2181 years on, the Japanese nation is still grieving,
00:21:25thousands including aging survivors, relatives and government
00:21:28officials attended the annual ceremony at Hiroshima Peace Memorial
00:21:32Park. Speaking at the ceremony, Japanese prime minister said the
00:21:36lessons of Hiroshima must not be forgotten. Hiroshima, the
00:21:40devastation rought by the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and
00:21:44the unspeakable suffering endured by so many must never be repeated.
00:21:48Our nation firmly upholds the three non nuclear principles, and as the
00:21:51world's only country to have suffered atomic bombings in war, bears the mission
00:21:55of tirelessly continuing efforts toward the realization of a world without
00:21:59nuclear weapons. The Japanese are hoping for a world free from
00:22:03nuclear weapons so that other people will have to go through similar
00:22:07tragedy. But in a world where nuclear states are spending hundreds of
00:22:10billions of dollars to upgrade their atomic arsenals, that appears to be a
00:22:14farfetched wish. The United States is the only country that ever
00:22:18used nuclear weapons against. its enemy and after all these years it
00:22:22was never held accountable for the deaths and destruction it caused to
00:27:45It was just after 10:00 in the evening, the Imam Hassan community
00:27:49gathering in the city of Ray had begon empty,
00:27:53eight-year-old avin Amir Khashani, a little girl with brown hair, dimples
00:27:57and bright eyes was walking hand in hand with her
00:27:59mother, without warning the night. sky turn yellow,
00:28:03deafining explosion from the nearby oil refinery shook the
00:28:07ground beneath them. "mum, mum, run, run!", avina
00:28:10screamed, then came the dust, the smoke and the
00:28:14silence. the night before avin had
00:28:18written in her diary, "dear leader, I want to become a martter like
00:28:22you," less than 24 hours later she died, and her
00:28:26grandmother's arms. this is story of in's brief
00:28:29life told through the memories of her mother day. who was
00:28:33herself seriously wounded in the attack. when the war began,
00:28:37laila recals i rushed to collect auvin from school. two fighter jets
00:28:41flew overhead and she kept asking what was happening. told her, i think
00:28:45america has attacked, but don't worry, you're safe. nothing will
00:28:49happen to you. as laila reaches the night the
00:28:53explosion, her voice begans to shake. that evening, after
00:28:56breaking our fast, we went shopping for new year's clothes. we bought avine
00:29:00new pair of trousers. They were a little too long, I plan
00:29:04to shorten them later, yet never happened. Her husband
00:29:08dropped Laila Vene and her younger brother at her mother's house.
00:29:12Together they walked to the nightly gathering. Avine happyly
00:29:15carried picture the marchered leader. On their way
00:29:19home, everything changed, the refinery was struck. The flash was
00:29:23blinding, people scattered in every direction. Oving kept shouting, mom,
00:29:27run, mom, run. I can still hear her voice. When the dust settled,
00:29:31I realized my hand. had been hit by sharpno and my left leg had been
00:29:35severed below the ankle. her mother was holding alvin. she looked
00:29:39peaceful. there wasn't a scratched on her face. we thought she had
00:29:43simply lost consciousness. a stranger picked her up and ran
00:29:46towards the hospital. kept screaming, "don't take ofvin
00:29:50away," but i couldn't move. i couldn't even hold my own
00:29:53daughter one last time. for 10 days while la lay in
00:29:57hospital, everyone told her avin was intensive
00:30:00care. only the day before. Before the funeral did they
00:30:04tell her she had died. Despite the pain. Laila smiles when she
00:30:07remembers her daughter. She was like a bottle of perfume. Whenever she entered her
00:30:11room, she filled
00:30:12it with warmth. Everyone loved her. Today, perhaps no one feels
00:30:16Ovine's absence more deeply than her six-year-old brother, Amir
00:30:20Ali, who was also injured that night. He didn't just lose
00:30:24sister. Their mother says he lost his closest
00:30:26friend.
