00:00:07top sourcing on Press TV: Iran's parliament speaker dismisses Donald Trump's threats of
00:00:11military action followed by demand for negotiations as
00:00:15theater diplomacy on loop and a failed
00:00:18strategy. New report reveals nearly 700 American forces have suffered
00:00:22traumatic brain injuries and Iran's missile and drone strikes on US
00:00:26bases.
00:00:33And Yemeni armed forces say they have conducted a major operation against Saudi
00:00:37backed mercenaries in Yemen planning to attack the capital Sanaa.
00:01:01Hello everyone and welcome to Press TV World News.
00:01:03Our top story: Iran's parliament speaker has downplayed
00:01:07the US president's repeated threats of military action against
00:01:10Tehran, branding Donald Trump's erratic rhetoric as theater
00:01:14diplomacy on loop.
00:01:16later, right at a time when news of Mohammad took
00:01:19to social media to mock the predictable cycle of Trump's
00:01:23aggressive remarks followed by sudden calls for negotiations, as he put
00:01:27it. He said the cycle of using bullying, broken promises, and fake
00:01:31news as leverage is completely a failed strategy
00:01:34and urged Washington to stop these theatrics and
00:01:38emphasized Tehran is demanding concrete action and stressed US
00:01:41has to acknowledge the facts and fulfill commitments
00:01:45rather than repetitive
00:01:47threats.
00:01:52Iran's industry minister Mohammad Atabak has visited Pakistan for
00:01:55talks aimed at boosting ties, and Pakistan's
00:01:59Commerce Minister co-chaired a latest session of the Joint Trade
00:02:02Committee between the two countries, and both have reaffirmed
00:02:05a commitment to increase annual trade to over $10 billion.
00:02:09And Press TV's Nasir Kazmi has your
00:02:11details.
00:02:14Pakistan and Iran have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to
00:02:18deepen trade and commercial cooperation, marking another
00:02:21project, was able to create milestone in their efforts to strengthen bilateral economic
00:02:24relations. The agreement was signed during the 10th session of the
00:02:28Pakistan-Iran Joint Trade Committee, co-chaired by Iran's
00:02:32Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade, Mohammad Atabak,
00:02:35and Pakistan's Commerce Minister Jam Kamal
00:02:40Iran has become a member of Khan. The two sides reaffirmed their commitment to increasing annual bilateral trade
00:02:43to $10 billion US dollars. It's not
00:02:46something out of reach. I'm quite optimistic that
00:02:50this amount will be reached,
00:02:53and it's not something that is out of
00:02:56touch. So there are a few things. "If
00:03:00we solve it, definitely it will
00:03:03be even above that."
00:03:06Discussion were mainly on trade,
00:03:10how we can
00:03:12increase the trade amount
00:03:14with Pakistan, a
00:03:17neighboring and brother nation right beside
00:03:21us. The memorandum outlines a roadmap for expanding economic
00:03:25cooperation by activating border
00:03:28back our brothers in economic regions, increasing border
00:03:30private sector participation, exchanging technical
00:03:34delegations, and immediately implementing
00:03:36existing bilateral agreements. Iranian
00:03:40and Pakistani officials also agreed to continue working toward
00:03:43a formal Free Trade Agreement. The aim is
00:03:47to strengthen
00:03:50the bilateral trade relationship between both the countries, for
00:03:54which both the countries' leadership have set a
00:03:57target of $10 billion, and for that
00:04:00purpose we are seeing those opportunities way
00:04:04forward, the bottle necks
00:04:06which restrict free
00:04:10trade between the countries, and at the same time we
00:04:13are also working on
00:04:16an FTA between Pakistan and Iran. On the
00:04:19sidelines of the committee meeting, business officials of
00:04:22both countries met at the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce
00:04:26and Industry. They discussed the challenges facing
00:04:29bilateral trade and proposed measures to increase
00:04:32commercial exchanges through stronger private sector engagement,
00:04:38day for this improved border infrastructure, and simplified trade procedures. There was a lot of
00:04:41discussion. One of the key topics discussed with the visiting
00:04:44Iranian minister was the establishment of a joint
00:04:48industrial zone where a wide range of industries could
00:04:51operate. We also discussed the gas pipeline project. Since
00:04:55energy is one of Pakistan's highest production costs, the pipeline
00:04:58could significantly reduce the cost of gas and electricity in our
00:05:02country. There are also many products that Iran manufactures
00:05:06at very reasonable prices, and we intend to import them from
00:05:09Iran. During his visit, Minister Atabak met
00:05:13Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. He thanked Pakistan for its
00:05:16mediation efforts aimed at ending the war the United States and
00:05:20Israel launched against Iran earlier this
00:05:23year. The frequency of high-level visits suggests
00:05:27Pakistan and Iran are committed to deepening their strategic
00:05:30economic partnership. Both countries are now focused on
00:05:33expanding trade, strengthening industrial cooperation, and
00:05:37achieving their shared $10 billion dollar annual trade
00:05:40target. Kazmi reporting for Press
00:05:43TV in
00:05:45Islamabad.
00:05:48A new report by Western media has revealed hundreds of US troops have suffered
00:05:52traumatic brain injuries in Iranian strikes since Washington
00:05:56launched its war of aggression against Iran. According to Associated
00:06:00Press, nearly 700 US service members have suffered
00:06:03traumatic brain injuries from drone and missile attacks on American
00:06:06bases. Report added while Pentagon dismisses many
00:06:10injuries as minor concussions.
00:06:12Experts have warned blast waves created by missiles and drones
00:06:16can cause cellular damage leading to persistent memory loss
00:06:19and migraines. American lawmakers are now demanding
00:06:23investigations into military medical screening,
00:06:26citing reports of wounded troops who went weeks without specialized
00:06:30care. Meanwhile, veterans are sharing stories of delayed
00:06:33diagnosis, highlighting a military culture which often
00:06:36discourages reporting invisible wounds, and experts have
00:06:40stressed the unpredictable trajectory of traumatic brain
00:06:43injuries remains a critical challenge for returning
00:06:46forces.
00:06:51Armed forces say large scale operation against Saudi-backed
00:06:55troops. Spokesman, oh here, here's a
00:06:57soundbite.
00:07:02As the criminal Saudi enemy persists in its blockade and aggression against
00:07:05the Yemeni people for nearly 12 years, our armed forces have
00:07:09monitored large Saudi military mobilizations that were in their final
00:07:12stages and were intended to escalate against the free governorates and the Yemeni
00:07:16people in order to force them to abandon their position demanding an end to the
00:07:20unjust blockade. Our armed forces conducted a large
00:07:24scale and high quality military operation targeting the Saudi enemy's
00:07:27troop concentrations using a large number of ballistic missiles and
00:07:31drones.
00:07:36The spokesman said armed forces targeted
00:07:39areas
00:07:41in Althania among other camps. He added operations killed and wounded hundreds of
00:07:45Saudi mercenaries and destroyed a large number of their camps, troop
00:07:48concentrations, warehouses, military vehicles and weapons
00:07:52in All Wadia area in eastern Yemen. A senior official
00:07:55warned the Saudis against committing any reckless acts that will only
00:07:59cause more escalation and vowed that Yemen will continue its
00:08:03blockade for blockade policy until Saudi
00:08:05siege on Yemen is
00:08:08lifted.
00:08:12Yeah, Yahya, our correspondent at the Yemeni capital Sanaa, joins us earlier with
00:08:15more details about this Yemeni attack against
00:08:18building Saudi positions on Yemeni
00:08:22soil.
00:08:26The latest attack on the Saudi
00:08:29forces that were being mobilized in
00:08:33order to start a new aggression against the
00:08:36Yemeni people. Yemeni armed forces have warned multiple
00:08:39times Saudi Arabia that pressing its aggression
00:08:43against Yemen would only lead
00:08:46to a full scale war with the
00:08:50Yemeni armed forces, and it will not go fine for
00:08:53Saudi Arabia. This operation
00:08:57shows the determination of the Yemeni armed
00:08:59forces
00:09:02to keep escalating until the siege is lifted
00:09:05from Yemen. Hundreds are being reported
00:09:08to be dead or wounded after this
00:09:12operation. And the significant part about
00:09:15this is that the emergency forces of Saudi
00:09:18Arabia were actually launched in
00:09:22late 2015 and it is the
00:09:26main arm of Saudi Arabia in Northern
00:09:29Yemen. It is, it has about
00:09:3236,000 recruits,
00:09:35and they were at their
00:09:38latest mobilization phase.
00:09:43So that was a big blow for them that
00:09:46would need months to be
00:09:49able to reach the same level of mobilization
00:09:53again.
00:09:56A Palestinian prisoner rights group says Israeli forces launched large
00:10:00scale military incursions into the occupied West Bank Al-Jalazoun
00:10:03refugee camp, abducting over 60 residents, many of them women and
00:10:07children. Citing local sources, Palestinian Prisoner Society said Israel's
00:10:11widespread abduction campaign
00:10:14was accompanied by serious assaults and violations,
00:10:18including severe beatings, use of restraints as means of
00:10:21torture, threats and residents to leave their homes, turning
00:10:25homes into field interrogation centers. Widespread acts of
00:10:28vandalism and destruction targeting residents' homes and
00:10:32property have also been reported. Meanwhile, the
00:10:35Palestinian Red Crescent Society said nearly 50
00:10:38Palestinians have been injured since Israeli forces launched this
00:10:41ongoing military aggression across the Qalandia refugee
00:10:45camp, north of occupied Al-Quds. It added that
00:10:48ambulance crews have not been able to reach the patients and the injured due to
00:10:52restrictions imposed by the Israeli forces, which have
00:10:55obstructed any access to the
00:10:57camp.
00:11:02And joining us earlier with your update from the refugee camp is our Ramallah
00:11:05correspondent
00:11:06Nabil Hamad.
00:11:11As the as the Israeli atrocities continue,
00:11:14but so does the Israeli suppression for
00:11:18the entire media crew that is around, surrounding us.
00:11:22Our colleagues are just a few meters
00:11:25away because we were
00:11:28faced with tear gas canisters and sound bombs
00:11:32more than once. So as for
00:11:36as for the Israeli side and the Israeli forces, of course
00:11:39it's the answer is always suppression. But
00:11:43from our side, the answer is always to
00:11:47to continue coverage and to continue this
00:11:51um to continue making the camera
00:11:54rolling. This is this is a high price that we
00:11:57pay as Press TV and as
00:12:00the entire Palestinian body because
00:12:03we know that we are the voice of those who are
00:12:07voiceless. Until this moment, the Palestinian Red Crescent
00:12:10has made an official number of the total
00:12:14injuries risen up to 13
00:12:17injuries. Among them are
00:12:19elderly and people. We have more
00:12:23than 60 documented cases of suffocation
00:12:27inside the Qalandia refugee camp who were not able, the
00:12:30Palestinian ambulance was not able to extract them from
00:12:34inside the the separated area and inside
00:12:37this area that has been declared
00:12:40as a military
00:12:44zone.
00:12:48And Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor warns Israel's attempting to erase war crime scenes
00:12:52in Gaza by removing rubble before independent investigations
00:12:55can document or examine
00:12:58them. The group says this could destroy crucial evidence and the
00:13:02last traces of thousands of people, in fact, still missing under
00:13:05debris. Adnan Ibrahim reports from Gaza
00:13:09City.
00:13:13For thousands of Palestinians, Gaza's rubble is more than remains
00:13:17of destroyed homes. It is a crime scene. In a report
00:13:21this week, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor said Israel's
00:13:25carrying a large-scale operation to remove any
00:13:28crushed debris across Gaza before independent investigators
00:13:32and forensic experts can examine the
00:13:35sites. During the genocide, the Israeli
00:13:38army tried to obliterate and efface the war crimes committed
00:13:42against our people, which in itself constitutes a
00:13:45crime. Today, the unknown fate of thousands remains a
00:13:49stressing question for their families, and by removing rubble from
00:13:52around 70% behind the yellow line, the Israeli army
00:13:56is destroying threads to answer.
00:14:00As we are witnessing, the Israeli regime is trying to evade legal prosecution
00:14:04by removing rubble from what we consider to be crime scenes. We
00:14:07call on international journalists and investigative reporters to press for
00:14:11access to Gaza and document this continuing
00:14:13genocide.
00:14:16According to the Geneva-based rights monitor, at least 10 million
00:14:20tons of rubble have already been cleared, with around
00:14:23100 Israeli trucks entering eastern and southern parts of the
00:14:26Gaza strip each day. Concerns are
00:14:30growing as Israel continues to bar international journalists and
00:14:33investigative teams from entering the
00:14:36strip.
00:14:38My sons are buried beneath the rubble of my home, which is now
00:14:41inaccessible behind the yellow line. They say Israeli
00:14:45bulldozers and trucks are clearing the rubble to erase our
00:14:48neighborhoods. That rubble holds my sons. I'm
00:14:52terrified I'll never be able to recover their bodies or give them
00:14:55a dignified burial.
00:14:58The bodies of my mother, father, sisters, and
00:15:02cousins, 27 members of my family in total are
00:15:05still buried beneath the rubble of our building. We have no chance of
00:15:09recovering their bodies, and now I fear that even in death,
00:15:13they may be taken away or removed by the Israeli
00:15:17army.
00:15:21Gaza has surpassed 73,300,
00:15:25nearly three years into the war. According to official
00:15:28figures, around 8,500
00:15:32people are still missing and believed to be trapped
00:15:35beneath this same rubble.
00:15:37In Gaza, the rubble is not only a reminder of destruction and
00:15:41the aftermath of the genocide, it is the last
00:15:44remaining link to the missing. As it disappears,
00:15:48so too hopes of recovering loved ones, preserving
00:15:52evidence, and seeking justice. Adnan Ibrahim for Press

00:16:01Japan is marking 81 years since the US dropped nuclear bombs there,
00:16:05leaving
00:16:07over hundreds of thousands of people dead. Government officials and delegates from many countries have
00:16:11attended memorials to show respect to the victims of the
00:16:141945 atomic bomb blast at
00:16:17Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And here's more.
00:16:19more.
00:16:21In the final stages of World War II in 1945, the
00:16:25US Army Air Force prepared to drop the 4,000 kilogram
00:16:29uranium bomb code-named Little Boy on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, and
00:16:33the morning of August 6th turned into a time of tragedy the world will
00:16:36never forget. When the Little Boy was dropped on the city,
00:16:4070,000 people were incinerated immediately.
00:16:43Another 70,000 died of injuries and radiation exposure
00:16:46in the following years. The US dropped a second atomic bomb on the
00:16:50city of Nagasaki just a few days
00:16:54the first catastrophe were surfacing. That second
00:16:57attack took the lives of 70,000 more
00:16:59people.
00:17:0581 years on, the Japanese nation is still
00:17:08grieving. Thousands, including aging survivors, relatives,
00:17:12and government officials attended the annual ceremony at Hiroshima
00:17:16Peace Memorial Park. Speaking at the ceremony, Japanese Prime
00:17:20Minister said the lessons of Hiroshima must not be
00:17:22forgotten. The devastation wrought by the atomic bombs
00:17:26on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the unspeakable suffering endured by
00:17:30so many must never be repeated. Our nation firmly
00:17:33upholds the three non-nuclear principles, and as the world's only country
00:17:37to have suffered atomic bombings and war, bears the mission of
00:17:40tirelessly continuing efforts toward the realization of a world without
00:17:44nuclear weapons. The Japanese are hoping for a world free
00:17:48from nuclear weapons so that other people will not have to go through a similar
00:17:51tragedy. But in a world where nuclear states are spending hundreds of
00:17:55billions of dollars to upgrade their atomic arsenals, that appears
00:17:58to be a far-fetched wish. The United States is the only country that
00:18:02ever used nuclear weapons against its enemy, and after all these
00:18:06years, it was never held accountable for the deaths and destruction it caused to
00:18:10Japan.
00:18:17the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation
00:18:21Organization. Membership grants Iran entry into a global governance structure
00:18:25independent of Western influence, while also providing
00:18:28access to the organization's resources for training,
00:18:31research, and standard setting. Nahid Purisa has your
00:18:35story.
00:19:15Big data and scientific computing, Iran
00:19:18developed Seymorgh supercomputer at Amirkabir
00:19:22University of Technology, one of its most significant heavy
00:19:25processing projects. Both Amirkabir University and Sharif
00:19:29University's AI center have previously
00:19:32been targeted by US and Israel during the Ramadan
00:19:35War. Now Iran is expanding its
00:19:38capabilities and joining VICO to defend its
00:19:41infrastructure and framing AI as a tool for
00:19:45technological sovereignty. We were able to become a
00:19:49member of the newly established Artificial Intelligence Organization
00:19:53and be among its founders in China. In the opening ceremony of WAIKO, the
00:19:57honorable President of China delivered a very substantive, effective,
00:20:00and comprehensive speech, which outlined this organization's policies
00:20:04in the field of AI. AI is currently considered one of the most
00:20:07important, effective, and efficient technologies. AI can truly
00:20:11play a role in every imaginable field. An organization with the same
00:20:15name was launched by the United States and Western countries. However, this
00:20:19organization launched here can be more effective and better for us in terms of
00:20:22participation. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS,
00:20:25and now the Artificial Intelligence Organization are
00:20:28institutions that somehow encompass all the countries of the Global South.
00:20:32Given China's approach in this field, I am confident that this is a
00:20:35very good opportunity for us too, and it can play a better role across
00:20:39different fields. VICO is the world's first
00:20:42intergovernmental international organization that
00:20:46dedicated itself to artificial intelligence. It
00:20:49has been created to foster cooperation and capacity
00:20:53building, promote AI applications and open
00:20:56ecosystems, and build a just global
00:20:59AI governance system.
00:21:03China proposes that artificial intelligence should be used for good and
00:21:06for progress, serving all countries and all of
00:21:09mankind. The US, on the other hand, applies it in many
00:21:13ways to control the world, treating it as a platform for dominance and
00:21:17increasingly applying it to the military field. China
00:21:20is responding comprehensively in this regard. WAIKO has been established
00:21:24to use artificial intelligence to serve all of humanity so that everyone can
00:21:28derive greater benefits from it. In this context, China has
00:21:32joined with Iran and many other countries to establish an Artificial
00:21:35Intelligence Cooperation Organization, aiming to promote
00:21:38the application of AI technology for all of
00:21:41humanity. Iran's smart leader, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali
00:21:44Khamenei, insisted that Iran must produce AI and not
00:21:48just consume it. He warned against any power imposing its
00:21:52will. With this VICO membership, Iran joins a
00:21:55global south platform where every nation has a voice.
00:21:59That's sovereignty in action. Nahid Purisa, Press TV,
00:22:02Beijing.
00:22:07That's all for your latest here on Press TV, everyone. Thanks for tuning in and goodbye for

00:24:07the brotherly Iraq to the Islamic Republic. We, the people of the city
00:24:11of Suq al-Shuyukh in the province of Dhi Qar, district of Nasiriyah, came
00:24:14to support and
00:24:18the Islamic Republic. Now our work is to prepare
00:24:21food banquets to support the demonstration squares and to maintain
00:24:25the momentum within the demonstration squares. We came
00:24:28here to clear our conscience
00:24:31before God Almighty first and to fulfill our duty.
00:24:34And wars do not scare us because as Imam Khomeini said, if
00:24:38they fight us with hunger, then we are the children of Ramadan, and if they fight us with weapons,
00:24:42then we are the children
00:24:42of Karbala.
00:24:48Welcome, welcome.
00:24:52Announcing the news, I was in the Islamic Republic in the holy city
00:24:54of Mashhad. The martyrdom of Sayyed, God willing,
00:24:58on Sunday. And I came out, and I was, I mean, it was a shock
00:25:01for us because the shock of Sayyed Hassan did not leave, and Sayyed Ali Khamenei
00:25:05also really hurts me,
00:25:07I mean.
00:25:11For all worlds.
00:25:19Allah's stand was a body-shaking
00:25:23position. May Allah reward us on that
00:25:28calamity. We have lost a symbol among the symbols of the Shiites,
00:25:31and a leader among the leaders of the Ummah, Sayyed
00:25:35Ali Khamenei, may Allah have mercy
00:25:38on him and make him with
00:25:40the Shiites of Amir al-Mu'minin, and bring him with my Master,
00:25:43the Master of the Age and Time, God willing, on the day of meeting
00:25:47and encounter. And God willing, and God willing, Sayyed
00:25:50Khamenei will be unsheathing his sword with a victorious Imam from the household
00:25:54of Muhammad. Therefore,
00:25:57its impact is like the impact of the day of
00:26:00Karbala. And it happened to be
00:26:25things, God willing, what is clear
00:26:28from what is currently happening in Iran and in Tehran is that all victories
00:26:39are lies. This victory is the victory of the people in standing
00:26:43with their state, in standing with their faith, in standing
00:26:47with their religion, with the Shiites of Amir al-Mu'minin, with the Shiites
00:26:51of Ali ibn Abi
00:26:51Talib.
00:26:56This is a stand that time has
00:26:59renewed. This stand is for Hussein. And today,
00:27:03it is for our Master, the Master of the Age and Time, and tomorrow
00:27:05for the oppressed, God willing. A honorable stand from the Iraqi
00:27:09people with the Islamic State, the Iranian
00:27:12State, the state that said no,
00:27:15no to falsehood, no, no to the oppressor,
00:27:19no, no to every tyrant. Death, death
00:27:23to Israel! Death, death
00:27:25to Israel! Death, death
00:27:28to America! Death, death
00:27:31to America!
00:27:52The decision to stand with our brothers in Gaza is
00:27:55a leadership decision and also a
00:27:58popular
00:28:01decision. The biggest mistake made was, first, using
00:28:04methods of terror and threats.
00:28:17And here, the Yemeni experience, through accumulated experience and with the presence
00:28:20of will and the presence of a liberation
00:28:24something from
00:28:25nothing.
00:28:39A new phase of the Iran war has begun. As missile
00:28:43strikes, alliances fracture, and pressure mounts in
00:28:46Washington, the question is no longer only who can win
00:28:50the next battle, but who can endure the war that
00:28:53follows?
00:29:01Is America? facing another endless conflict and
00:29:05has Iran changed the rules of the battlefield. These
00:29:08and more on this edition of Iran today.
00:29:25It was nearly 12 months of true horror at the
00:29:28Alligator Alcatraz prison. Something President Donald Trump said.
00:30:22a prison, very unusual prison, a detention center in Florida surrounded by alligators in case anyone managed escape. Who was held there? Criminals? No, immigrants. It was an experiment because it opened about
00:30:25a year ago and recently shut down. Who benefited from
00:30:29it? The most important point I want to make is that...
00:30:33In the context of the recent and mysterious death of Senator
00:30:36Lindsey Graham, had recently been to Ukraine, let me remind you
00:30:40that earlier this year in Tel Aviv, this man said that what was
00:30:44happening in Gaza was the model for wars anywhere in the
00:30:47world, including against
00:30:49immigrants,
00:30:57it opened in July 2025 and closed one year.
