00:01:04in and this regime
00:01:08has launched new attacks on southern deban despite a ceasefire deal
00:01:12with the Arab
00:01:13country.
00:01:30It's half 10 pm here in the Iraining capital
00:01:32Tehran. The Secretary of Iran
00:01:36Supreme National Security Council says the straight of removes will not
00:01:40reopen until the US corrects its
00:01:42behavior. said Washington must stop
00:01:46threatening Iran and refrain from insulting the sacred
00:01:50believes
00:01:51of the nation. He said the US must permanently end aggression against
00:01:55Iran and its allies in Lebanon.
00:01:58Palestine. Um In Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen and
00:02:01Iraq, the top security official also demanded the lifting
00:02:05of the naval blockade, withdrawal
00:02:07of the US military forces from around
00:02:10of Iran, and also the removal of unjust and illegal sanctions
00:02:14on the country. The statement further listed full
00:02:17compensation for the damage caused to Iran by the
00:02:20of two imposed wars and unconditional
00:02:22release of Tehran's frozen assets.
00:02:26Zulqadr noted that these measures reflected. demands
00:02:30voiced by the Iranian people in the nightly rallies and stress
00:02:34that the Supreme National Security Council will not back down,
00:02:38whether in war or in
00:02:39negotiations.
00:02:44of Iran's foreign
00:02:48minister says Tehran
00:02:49is closed to an agreement with Oman a new maritime transit route
00:02:53through uh the straight of Ramos, but negotiations between the two
00:02:57countries are still underway ambasar. she said talks with
00:03:01oman are regarding the legal framework and management
00:03:04of the waterway, specifically about determining a transit
00:03:08route. he noted that the previous traffic separation
00:03:11scheme is no longer acceptable to Tehran and that given
00:03:15the technical and legal complexities, a temporary
00:03:19route will be established for now as the basis for a
00:03:23permanent arrangement. she however emphasized that the
00:03:26reopening
00:03:27of the straight was contingent on under conditions, including the
00:03:31United States, remedying its violations
00:03:34of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding. The foreign minister
00:03:38pointed out that Washington was seeking to establish new roots
00:03:42in the straight and undermine Iran's management in violation
00:03:46of the MOU, warning
00:03:48that it is in no way
00:03:50acceptable.
00:03:59The spokes. person
00:04:00of the Islamic Revolution Gard Score has outlined Iran stance on the straight
00:04:04of removes saying the waterway will be reopen provided that
00:04:08the US accepts Iran's
00:04:09conditions.
00:04:14The reopening
00:04:14of the straight of hormas has its own specific mechanism and has
00:04:18nothing to do with the negotiations between Iran and
00:04:21Oman. Opening the straight of hormos depends on conditions under
00:04:25which the Islamic Republic will decide to reopen it and it depends on
00:04:29the extent to which the US accepts Iran's conditions, the
00:04:33straight of hormas is not merely
00:04:35of economic waterway for Iran, it's a component of geographical and
00:04:39strategic
00:04:40a power. The enemy has no choice but to accept arounds conditions to
00:04:44reopen the straight of hormas and must stop interfering in the negotiations
00:04:48between Iran, Oman and other countries, which are at their
00:04:51conclusion. Whenever the enemy accepts surrounds conditions, the
00:04:55straight will definitely be
00:04:56reopened. The
00:05:00Iranian army spokesperson has also warned that the United States has no
00:05:05of choice but to accept
00:05:06the current situation in
00:05:07the straight of remos or it will face far heavier costs
00:05:10than before. Brigity. General Akraminia said the Iranian
00:05:14order in the straight is irreversible and the armed
00:05:18forces will continue to stand firm until this control is
00:05:22fully consolidated. He emphasized that the armed forces will
00:05:25have both the will and the defensive capability to
00:05:29maintain this control. He also added that Iran's
00:05:32resistance against the US has elevated the countries are standing
00:05:36among free nations and Iranians are now known worldwide
00:05:40as resilient anchor.
00:05:50The Iranian president masoudan saran took
00:05:54reciprocal action after the US violated the
00:05:57mou, stressing that the Islamic Republic of Iran will continue to
00:06:01defend its interests while pursuing diplomacy.
00:06:05In a press conference, marking journalist
00:06:07day, said the memorandum of understanding did not
00:06:11involve. any concessions by Iran or any
00:06:15withdraw from the country's national interests. the
00:06:18Iranian president said that under the agreements, the parties were
00:06:22expected to operate based on guidelines jointly prepared by
00:06:25Iran and Oman for managing issues related to the straight of
00:06:29removes. however, he said the other side failed to
00:06:33follow those arrangements. Pesishgan also said dialogue
00:06:37has not altered Taran's longstanding position toward
00:06:40Washington and Iran's still believes US government is a
00:06:44colonialist and a criminal
00:06:46entity.
00:06:54academic and political analyst Hakim Saibir joined us earlier
00:06:58from Tehran to give us her thoughts on the Iranian president's
00:07:02remarks.
00:07:07Iran has never been and is is not
00:07:11going to be ready. to capitulate
00:07:14and of course
00:07:14the United States is learning that the hard way, it
00:07:17could basically abide by the
00:07:21by its part the mou, it
00:07:24could respect Iranian sovereignty,
00:07:28Iran is resilient, has shown that
00:07:31it is serious
00:07:34about its
00:07:37safeguarding of Iran's national interests, the United States
00:07:41has try. in the past
00:07:43decades after the second
00:07:47world war to create kind of
00:07:50hybrid system of domination in this region. with
00:07:54the Islamic Revolution, Iran actually started
00:07:57path of creating a hybrid system of
00:08:01resistance, part of which
00:08:04was trying to create the
00:08:08grounds for basically riding this region of
00:08:11foreign... interference, Iran has
00:08:14shown
00:08:16that you know it, it is able
00:08:19to use the the leverage that
00:08:22is its disposal, including you know
00:08:26the straight of hormos, you know, and that has
00:08:30very much elevated Iran's
00:08:33stance with regard to its
00:08:36ability to resist United States aggression,
00:08:40its ability to resist United States coersive diplomacy.
00:08:44and of course we have to wait and see
00:08:47whether is going to change this
00:08:49behavior. the deputy
00:08:52commander of Iran's central headquarters
00:08:56general has warned the US against
00:09:00launching a ground invasion. an interview with press tv he
00:09:03says the armed forces are fully ready to

00:09:10که My advice is that
00:09:14our enemies, whether the great satan, America, or the
00:09:17cancerous tumor, Israel, should listen to the words of our
00:09:21commanders. Martter Suleimani addressed Iran's enemies and
00:09:24said, you start the war, but its end is in our
00:09:28hands. The same holds true today. Last week, when I
00:09:32visited Iran's islands, I saw that our forces are
00:09:36waiting for the day when America commits this mistake and launches
00:09:40a ground operation against us. "and that day we will put
00:09:44these American captives on display. Today, by
00:09:48the grace of God, no one fears Trump any longer, not
00:09:52even the young children. Now you see them come out into
00:09:56the streets, holding the Iranian flag in their hands and sending
00:09:59message to Trump. Well, Trump wanted the Iranian people
00:10:03to fear him and surrender. According to the words of our martered
00:10:07imam, in Iran, if only one person remains,
00:10:11the duty of..."
00:10:25you can see the evidence, wherever we decide, we strike
00:10:28immediately, even if vissle on the sea s to
00:10:32act on America's orders, we issued a warning and turned it
00:10:36back.
00:10:41In Sirick, one the hardest head cities in Iran's hormosgon
00:10:45province, attacks by the US on civilian infrastructure,
00:10:48left thousands without access to water after key
00:10:51reservoir was destroyed and another one was down.
00:10:55local emergency and crisis management teams responded swiftly
00:10:59restoring the water network and reconnecting around
00:11:022ous residents reflecting the city's
00:11:05determination to recover despite the attacks. moin

00:11:15Sirik, city in Iran's southern province of
00:11:18hormozgan along the shores the Persian Gulf,
00:11:22ranking among the places that endured some the most... devastating
00:11:25US attacks, including the destruction of water reservoir
00:11:29a city where access to water remains a critical
00:11:32issue, directly striking the lives, health and well
00:11:36being of its residents.
00:11:40during the enemies attacks on Syric civilian infrastructure, the city's
00:11:44water reservoirs came under direct attack twice, one
00:11:47reservoir was completely destroyed while the other sustained damage and was
00:11:51put out of service, but this is Iran,
00:12:25infrastructure can instill fear among us, but that is a grave
00:12:29miscalculation, we will remain steadfast, and the
00:12:33swift restoration of Sirix water supply stands as clear
00:12:37evidence of that resolve. in the eyes of
00:12:40Iranians, the targeting of sirik's water reservoir has
00:12:43laid bear the true nature their country's enemies. the people of
00:12:47sirik will indeed never be the same again. for them, the
00:12:51homeland represents honor and dignity and variation of
00:12:55its soil is deeply personal, they view freedom as value
00:12:59greater than life or material possessions. attacks
00:13:03on civilian infrastructure and the deliberate targeting of people's lives and
00:13:07wellbeing have left an uglier image the US than ever
00:13:10before in the minds of Iranians and people around the world. the
00:13:14real question, however is whether international organizations and world
00:13:18leaders will have the courage and integrity to condemn such
00:13:21attacks. momini press tv,
00:13:28Donald Trump's latest remarks about the shortage of patriot missile
00:13:32systems have spark sharp criticism and widespread mockery
00:13:35online after he blamed former president Joe Biden for
00:13:39the shortfall. Critics across social media platforms accused
00:13:43Donald Trump of attempting to deflect the responsibility for the
00:13:47US failures and its latest aggression on
00:13:50Iran.
00:13:57President, on Ukraine, president Zelenski says his country desperately
00:14:00needs long-range missiles or those patriot missile
00:14:04batteries, is that something that you? Well, I mean we want missiles too,
00:14:08we when Biden gave him so much, Biden
00:14:11gave $300 billion dollars worth of ammunition. You
00:14:15know, when I left, this, it was full, and he gave lot of it away, now
00:14:19we're rebuilding it, and we're using munitions
00:14:22that are very powerful. very good, but we wouldn't have been
00:14:26using them, we could have used something
00:14:28else.
00:14:34That's a pretty brutal contrast between what's being claimed and what's
00:14:38happening on the ground. If the straight is still closed and no deal
00:14:42has been reached. Those are facts that matter. Results speak louder
00:14:46than political
00:14:46slogans.
00:14:55The US war on Iran is presumably the most stupid war in US
00:14:59history. Trump started it for no good reason, whether to detract from
00:15:03the Epstein files, or because he was carried away by
00:15:06Netanyahu, it was lose lose war and remains
00:15:10so.
00:15:18I agree, there was absolutely no need to start this
00:15:22war. It was only started because... Trump wanted to
00:15:25enrich himself and his
00:15:27friends.
00:15:35This potis is blaming by. for the lack of patriot interceptor
00:15:39missiles, trump wasted 800, yes,
00:15:42800 patriot missiles in just three days on his stupid
00:15:46invasion of Iran, which he
00:15:48lost.
00:15:56We burned through two-thirds of our patriot missile stock pile a war with
00:16:00Iran. The war Trump was desperate to get out not long after it
00:16:04started, and which has resulted in the IRGC control the straight
00:16:08of
00:16:08horm.
00:16:17how on earth could dod say we were ready for war with China and or
00:16:21Russia, but run out of missils after few rounds of trading blows
00:16:25with second rate Iran, why isn't this top issue in
00:16:28Congress?
00:16:36this very... Regime continues its attacks across southern Lebanon
00:16:40despite a so-called
00:16:42ceasefire.
00:16:57Artillery shelling targeted several districts and Nabutya
00:17:01governorate entire district. Homes were also
00:17:05demolished in the... town of sar al shariya na
00:17:09nabatia. This is while Israely occupation forces advanced toward
00:17:13area on the outskirts of Kifar Shuba. Meanwhile,
00:17:16Disvery Army radio reported that a soldier from the
00:17:20607th engineering battalion was wounded
00:17:23by sharpen um from friendly fire in
00:17:27Nabatia. Israely media also reported a soldier was
00:17:30moderately injured an operational accident in southern
00:17:34Lebanon. These violations are ongoing despite. a US
00:17:38mediated framework agreement that was signed between
00:17:41Lebanon and Israel in late June, requiring
00:17:45a phase
00:17:46this rudy
00:17:46withdrawal.
00:17:53Academic and political commentator Mohsen Sol says the Lebanese
00:17:57government would have achieved a lot more if it backed the
00:18:00resistance instead of holding direct talks with Dory
00:18:04regime.
00:18:10"I say that the Israelis never respect any kind of
00:18:13commitment, commitments about
00:18:17the seasfire, in spite of all the the
00:18:21promises from the Americans to to the Lebanese authority,
00:18:25but also the Americans, they could not dare to talk to the
00:18:28Israelis to stop their violations, not only
00:18:32violations, they are demolishing everything, so the
00:18:35Lebanese, the Lebanese of..." authorities who are talking to
00:18:39the Israelies directly, I guess they have been
00:18:43bluffed and fooled, if we don't say more than
00:18:46that, they are conspiring against the the
00:18:50resistance and the people, the the people in the south,
00:18:54so we are talking here about a situation that unsettled
00:18:57situation that the Israelies they are violating, the libanese
00:19:00authorities are trying to to appease the Israelis,
00:19:04they think that and the Americans, they think that... they can get
00:19:08something for them, but I guess they they are going to
00:19:12no aware, so we are talking here about a
00:19:15mess left by these talks, direct talks with
00:19:19the Israelies, if the authorities have lied
00:19:23or try to to cooperate with the
00:19:26resistance and with the people, the libanese people, I guess they
00:19:30they would have achieved a
00:19:32lot, goes
00:19:35children once cheered, a cease fire with theose regime
00:19:39came into effect in October 2025. they hoped that the
00:19:43war had finally come to an end, but nearly 10 months after
00:19:47the announcement. residents say the attacks continue a daily
00:19:51basis with UNICEF saying that at least 300
00:19:55children have been killed since the cease fire. qarada ibrahim reports on
00:19:58this.
00:20:04when the seas fire was announced in Gaza in October 20
00:20:0725 with children like Damal briefly dard to
00:20:11believe that the killing was finally over. They cheered
00:20:15at the news, imagining quiet nights and return to the
00:20:18ordinary life of a childhood, but war for Gaza's
00:20:22children had not it truly
00:20:24ended. I first got injured
00:20:28while trying to bring food for my family from the aid distribution
00:20:31center, but while I was in hospital I knew my father was
00:20:34mattered. Since then I became responsible.
00:20:39now i have four different injuries from separate attacks across my
00:20:43body, i don't feel like a child
00:20:46an 300 children building
00:20:50Gaza since the seasfire was announced, roughly one
00:20:54child every day, hundreds more have been
00:20:57injured, behind every number is not only a child,
00:21:01but also family's life had changed
00:21:04forever. Ahmed was 9 years old
00:21:08when he was killed in attack on our home. He was a unique and
00:21:11smart child who memorized all quran. I can't
00:21:15believe that he is gone forever. What is the guilt of a child like
00:21:19Ahmed to? life can never continue normally when
00:21:22one loses their own son across gaza children
00:21:26continue to live with the consequences of a war that has
00:21:30killed, wounded, displaced and orphaned them. some
00:21:34carry physical scars, others carry the quiet wounds of
00:21:38losing parents, siblings and homes and the sense
00:21:41of safety every child
00:21:43deserves. unices
00:21:47report represents reminder to the the...
00:21:49world continuous war children in Gaza are enduring until this
00:21:53day. This is humanitarian catastrophe. Every day since the
00:21:57seasfire started, a child is killed. And add to this, that
00:22:00all the promises of relief and safety, children expected to come with
00:22:04ceasefire are not fulfilled. The world and the mediators
00:22:08may call it sess fire, but in reality, for children like
00:22:12Damal, it is difficult to call it peace when another child
00:22:16can still be killed before the day is over.
00:22:20because the children, the announced seas fire was supposed to mark
00:22:24the beginning of peace, but as peace is not simply reach
00:22:27with announcements, it has become another
00:22:31chapter of loss and fear. Gad brahim for press
00:22:35tv, gaza city,
00:22:37palestine. as
00:22:41temperatures swore in the world ravage gaza strip the summer heat
00:22:44as adding another layer of suffering to the
00:22:47Palestinians living in makeshift ten. no access to
00:22:51electricity and limited access to water has exacerbated the
00:22:55already dire humanitarian situation
00:22:57there.
00:23:04we are suffering terribly. for three years now we have been living in the
00:23:08streets. all the basic necessities of life in Gaza have
00:23:11disappeared. as you can see, we are sitting under pieces of
00:23:15cloth with the sun very close to us and we cannot bear
00:23:18it.
00:23:19i have
00:23:50tents make it even hotter and in these conditions there is no electricity and
00:23:54there are no fans, the situation is
00:23:57tragic, we cannot sleep, we go
00:24:00outside the tent at night to cool down, and in the morning we cannot sleep
00:24:04outside the tent because there are
00:24:06rodens,

00:24:15bye-bye.
00:24:39War takes lives, but sometimes it takes something even
00:24:42more cruel, the chance to say goodbye. This is story
00:24:46of a boy who never came home following a bloody..."
00:24:50unprovoked war weiged by the US and Israel against
00:24:53Iran. On the morning of February 28th,
00:24:562026, 7-year-old Makon Nasiri left home for school just
00:25:00as he always did. It was his birthday, his mother helped him put on his blue
00:25:04jacket to keep him warm in the cool morning air. She was preparing
00:25:08Makan's favorite food for lunch. With the
00:25:12quiet excitement of a first grade boy, he walked into Shajar
00:25:16Taybah elementary school, never knowing it would be the last time. anyone
00:25:20would see him. At 11:15 a.m., tomahawk cruise missiles
00:25:24struck the school within seconds, classrooms collapsed, walls
00:25:28crumbled, the sound of children reading and laughing were replaced
00:25:32by dust, fire and silence. rescue workers for
00:25:35days, parents searched with their own hands. one by one the
00:25:39victims were found. families were finally able to bury their
00:25:42children. but one child never came home,
00:25:46makon nasiri. his father searched through the rubble from the very first after.
00:25:50His uncle together with relatives spent 46 days searching
00:25:54every corner the destroyed school and the surrounding fields.
00:25:58More than 100 DNA tests were carried out. Investigators searched for.
00:26:02or anything, a strand of hair, the smallest trace that could bring
00:26:06certainty to agreeving family, nothing. the only things ever
00:26:10found were crumpled blue jacket and a single small trainer
00:26:14discovered far from the school after the blast had thrown it into a
00:26:17nearby orchard. experts later concluded that the American
00:26:21missile had struck directly where Macon had been standing. the
00:26:25explosion was so devastating that no identifiable
00:26:29remains were left behind. for most... parents
00:26:32grief begins when they lay their child to rest.
00:26:36Man's family was denied even that final act of love. They were forced
00:26:40to bury empty grave, a grave with nobody beneath it, only a
00:26:44name carved into stone. Even today, Malcon's mother returns to the
00:26:48ruins the school. She sits quietly a piece of broken
00:26:51concrete, waiting in the same place where she last knew her son
00:26:55existed. Makan's body was never recovered. His
00:26:59story reminds us that the deepest wound of war.

00:30:18Hello and welcome to Atrition, I'm your host Omar Gasmi and
00:30:22in this show we delve into the forces of war, imperialism and Zionism
00:30:25exploring their impact on our world and what it will take to overcome
00:30:29them. I've just returned from nearly month long trip to Islamic
00:30:32Republic of Iran. I traveled there at the beginning of July to attend the
00:30:36historic funeral the martered leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution, Grand
00:30:40Ayatollah Sayid Ali Khamenei. Unexpectedly, I stayed longer
00:30:44than originally planned. While I was in Iran, I had the opportunity to
00:30:48speak to various interesting people, some of whom I interviewed for this show,
00:30:52and those episodes will be coming soon. Later in this show, you'll
00:30:56hear from journalist and anti-imperialist activist Calo Walsh,
