00:01:21of Iran's supreme National Security Council says the State of
00:01:25Removes will not reopen until the US corrects its

00:01:32stop threatening Iran and refraine from insulting the sacred
00:01:36believes
00:01:37of the nation. He said the US must permanently end aggression

00:02:07and unconditional release of Tehran's frozen

00:02:39a new maritime transit route through the straight of removes with
00:02:43negotiations between the two countries
00:02:45underway. said talks with Oman are
00:02:48regarding the legal framework and management
00:02:52of the
00:02:53of waterway, specifically about determining a transit route. He noted that the
00:02:57previous traffic separation scheme is no longer. acceptable to
00:03:01Tehran and that given the technical and legal
00:03:04complexities, a temporary route will be established
00:03:08for now as the basis for a permanent arrangement. Arakshi
00:03:12however emphasized that the opening
00:03:14of the straight of
00:03:16a remos was
00:03:17of contingent on other conditions including the United
00:03:21States
00:03:22of remedying its violations
00:03:23of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding. The foreign minister
00:03:27pointed out that Washington was seeking to establish new
00:03:31roots in the straight and undermine Iran's
00:03:34management and violation
00:03:36of the mou, warning that it is in no way
00:03:39acceptable.
00:03:51The spokesperson
00:03:51of the Islamic Revolution Guards Core has outlined Iran stance under straight of
00:03:55removes saying the waterway will be reopened provided that the
00:03:59US
00:04:06of hormas is not
00:04:07merely economic
00:04:17waterway for Iran, it's a component
00:04:23The straight of...
00:04:30geographical and strategic power, the enemy has no
00:04:34choice but to accept arounds conditions to reopen the straight of hormas and
00:04:37must stop interfering in the negotiations between Iran, Oman
00:04:41and other countries, which are at their conclusion. Whenever the
00:04:45enemy accepts surrounds conditions, the straight will definitely be
00:04:48reopened.
00:04:53The Iranian army spokesperson has also warned that the United States
00:04:57has no choice but to accept the... situation in the straight of
00:05:01remos or it will face far heavier costs than
00:05:05before. brigidier general said the Iranian order
00:05:09in the straight of removes is irreversible and the...
00:05:12forces will continue to stand firm until this control is fully
00:05:16consolidated. he emphasized that the armed forces have both
00:05:20the will and the defensive capability to maintain this
00:05:24control. he also added that
00:05:27Iran's resistance against the US has elevated the
00:05:31countries standing among free nations, and Iranians are now
00:05:35known worldwide as resilient and courageous
00:05:38people.
00:05:47The Iranian President Masud Pesishgan says Tehran took
00:05:50reciprocal action after the US violated the
00:05:53mou, stressing that the Islamic Republic will continue to
00:05:57defend its interests while pursuing diplomacy. In a press
00:06:01conference marking journalist day, Masud Pesishgan said the
00:06:05memorandum of understanding did not involve any
00:06:08concessions by Iran or any withdrawal from the country's.
00:06:12interests, the Iranian president said that under the
00:06:16agreement, the parties were expected to operate based on
00:06:20guidelines jointly prepared by Iran and Oman
00:06:24for managing issues related to the straight of removes. However, he
00:06:28said, the other side failed to follow those
00:06:30arrangements. Pesishgan also said dialogue has not
00:06:34altered Tehran's longstanding position toward
00:06:38Washington and Iran still believes that the US government is a
00:06:41colonialist. and a criminal
00:06:43entity.
00:06:52The deputy commander of Iran's Khatam Central Headquarters,
00:06:56General Mohammad Jafar Asadi has warned the US against
00:07:00launching a ground invasion. In an interview with Press
00:07:03TV, he said
00:07:05that the armed forces are fully ready to counter any
00:07:08threats.
00:07:14"Iran has never been and is is not
00:07:17going to be ready to capitulate, and of course the United
00:07:21States is learning that the hard way, it could
00:07:25basically abide by the by its part
00:07:29the mou, it could
00:07:33respect Iranian sovereignty. Iran is
00:07:36resilient, has shown that
00:07:38it is, you know, serious about.
00:07:43its safeguarding of Iran's national
00:07:46interests, the United States has tried in the
00:07:50past decades after the second
00:07:53world war to create kind of
00:07:57hybrid system of domination in this region, with the
00:08:01Islamic Revolution, Iran actually started path
00:08:04of creating a hybrid system of
00:08:08resistance, part of which
00:08:11was ' trying to create the
00:08:15grounds for basically riding this region of
00:08:18foreign interference. Iran has shown
00:08:22that you know it's it is
00:08:26able to use the le the leverage that is
00:08:29its disposal including
00:08:32you know the straight of hormos you know and
00:08:36that has very much elevated Iran's stance
00:08:40with regard to its ability to
00:08:43resist United States aggression, it's ability to
00:08:47resist United States coursive diplomacy, and
00:08:51of course we have to wait and see whether the United
00:08:55States is going to change it
00:08:56behavior. The
00:09:00deputy commander of Iran's khatam central headquarters, general
00:09:04Mohammad Jafari Asadi has warned the US against launching
00:09:07a ground invasion. In an interview with press TV, he says
00:09:11the arm.
00:09:20my advice is that our enemies, whether the great satan,
00:09:24america, or the cancerous tumor, Israel, should listen to
00:09:27the words of our commanders, martyr Sulaymani addressed Iran's enemies
00:09:31and said, you start the war, but its end is in our
00:09:35hands, the same holds true today, last week, when I
00:09:39visited Iran's islands, I saw... that our forces are
00:09:43waiting for the day when America commits this mistake and
00:09:47launches a ground operation against us, and that day we
00:09:51will put these American captives on display.
00:09:55Today, by the grace of God, no one fears Trump any
00:09:58longer, not even the young children. Now you see
00:10:02them come out into the streets holding the Iranian flag in their
00:10:06hands and sending message to Trump. Well, Trump wanted
00:10:10the Iranian people to fear him and surrender. According to the
00:10:14words of our martered imam, in Iran, if only one person
00:10:17remains, the duty of that one person is to fight
00:10:21against depression. Today, by the great. of
00:10:25god, our situation is better than in the past, both our
00:10:29drones and our missiles are better than before,
00:10:32you can see the evidence, whatever we decide,
00:10:35we strike immediately, even if vissle on the sea

00:11:23cirik. Iran's southern province of
00:11:26Urmusgan along the shores the Persian Gulf,
00:11:30ranking among the places that endured some the most devastating
00:11:34US attacks, including the destruction of water reservoir
00:11:38a city where access to water remains a critical issue,
00:11:42directly striking the lives, health and well being of its
00:11:45residents. During the enemy's
00:11:49attacks on Syrick civilian infrastructure, the city's water
00:11:52reservoirs came under direct attack twice. One reservoir was
00:11:56completely destroyed while
00:11:58the other sustained damage and was put out of service, but this
00:12:02is Iran. Siric embodies the spirit of Iran, a spirit that
00:12:06knows no surrender, it has endured the enemy's fire in pursuit of
00:12:10freedom and independence, risen to its feet after every
00:12:13blow and continued to press
00:12:15forward.
00:12:18Sirix emergency response and crisis management teams moved into action
00:12:22immediately, taking the necessary measures to.
00:12:55"the people of Sirick will indeed never be the same again. For
00:12:59them, the homeland represents honor and dignity, and
00:13:02any violation of its soil is deeply personal. They view
00:13:06freedom as value greater than life or material
00:13:09possessions. Attacks on civilian
00:13:12infrastructure and the deliberate targeting of people's lives and
00:13:15well-being have left an uglier image the US than ever
00:13:19before, in the minds of Iranians and people around the world. The real
00:13:23question, however, is..." whether international organizations and world
00:13:26leaders will have the courage and integrity to condemn such
00:13:29attacks. Moin amini Press TV.

00:13:38Theserty regime continues its attacks across Southern
00:13:42Lebanon despite a cease
00:13:43fire.
00:14:00Artillery shelling targeted several districts and nabatia
00:14:04governorate entire district homes were also demolished in the town
00:14:08of Zatar al Sharriah
00:14:09in Nabatia. This is while Israely occupation forces advanced
00:14:13toward area on the outskirts of Kifar Shuba.
00:14:17Meanwhile Israely Army radio reported that a soldier from the
00:14:21607th engineering battalion was.
00:14:25dead by shrapnel from friendly fire in
00:14:27nabi also, this is what he media has also
00:14:31reported a soldier was moderately injured an
00:14:35operational accident in southern Lebanon. These
00:14:38violations are ongoing despite a US mediated
00:14:41framework that was signed between Lebanon and
00:14:45Israel in late June requiring a phased Israely
00:14:49withdraw.
00:14:55Academic and political commentator Mohsen Saleh says the Lebanese
00:14:59government would have achieved a lot more if it backed the
00:15:03resistance instead of holding direct talks with this
00:15:06regime.
00:15:11I would say that the Israelis never respect any kind of
00:15:14commitment commitments about
00:15:18the seasfire in spite of all the the
00:15:22promises from the Americans to to. Lebanese authority,
00:15:26but also the Americans, they could not dare to talk to the
00:15:29Israelis to stop their violations, not only
00:15:33violations, they are demolishing everything, so the
00:15:36Lebanese, "the Lebanese authorities who are talking to
00:15:40the Israelies directly, I guess they have
00:15:43been bluffed and food, if we don't say more
00:15:47than that, they are conspiring against the the
00:15:51resistance and the people, the the people in the south,
00:15:55so we are talking here about a situation that unsettled
00:15:58situation that the Israelies, they are violating the libanese
00:16:01authorities are trying to to appease the Israelis,
00:16:05they think that and the American..." and they think that they can get
00:16:09something for them, but I guess they they are going to
00:16:13no aware, so we are talking here about a
00:16:16mess left by these talks, direct talks with the
00:16:20Israelies, if the authorities have live
00:16:24or try to to cooperate with the
00:16:27resistance and with the people, the Lebanese people, I guess they
00:16:31they would have achieved a
00:16:33lot.

00:16:41effect in October 2025. they hoped that the war
00:16:45had finally come to an end, but nearly 10 months
00:16:48after the announcement, residents sayid the attacks continue
00:16:52a daily basis with UNICEF, saying that at least the
00:16:56300 children have been killed since the ceasefire.

00:17:09When the seasfire was announced in Gaza in October
00:17:122025, children like Jamal briefly dirt to
00:17:16believe that the killing was finally over. They
00:17:20cheered at the news, imagining quiet nights and return to the
00:17:24ordinary life for childhood, but war for Gaza's
00:17:27children had not truly
00:17:29ended. I first got injured
00:17:33while trying to bring food for my family from the AID distribution center.
00:17:37but while I was in hospital I knew my father was mattered. Since
00:17:41then I became responsible for my siblings. Now I have four
00:17:45different injuries from separate attacks across my body. I
00:17:49don't feel like a child anymore. According to Uniceive
00:17:53300 children had been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire was
00:17:57announced. Roughly one child every
00:18:00day. Hundreds more have been injured. Behind every
00:18:04number is not only a child but also.
00:18:07"a family's life had changed forever,
00:18:11ahmed was nine years old when he was killed in attack on our
00:18:15home. He was a unique and smart child who memorized
00:18:19all quran. I can't believe that he is gone forever. What is the
00:18:23guilt of a child like Ahmed to deserve death? Life can never
00:18:27continue normally when one loses their own son.
00:18:30Across Gaza, children continue to live with the consequences of
00:18:34a war that has killed, wounded, display. and orphand
00:18:38them, some carry physical scars, others carry the
00:18:42quieter wonds of losing parents, siblings and
00:18:45homes and the sense of safety every child
00:18:49deserves. unices report
00:18:53represents reminder to the world the continuous war children in
00:18:57Gaza are enduring until this day. this is humanitarian
00:19:00catastrophe, every day since the cease fire started, a child
00:19:04is killed, and add to this that all the promises of relief and
00:19:08safety children expected to come with cease fire are not
00:19:11fulfilled. the world and the mediators may call it a cease
00:19:15fire, but in reality, for children like Jamal, it is
00:19:18difficult to call it peace when another child can still be
00:19:22killed before the day is over. for god's
00:19:25children, the announced
00:19:27sees fire was supposed to mark the beginning of peace, but
00:19:31as peace is not simply reach with announcements, it has
00:19:35become yet another chapter.
00:19:46As temperatures sore in the war ravage gozas trip, the summer heat
00:19:50is adding another layer of suffering to the palestinians living
00:19:54in makeshift tents, no access to electricity and limited
00:19:58access to water has exacerbated the already dire
00:20:02humanitarian situation there. Let's take a
00:20:04listen.
00:20:37electricity, not even a place to protect us from the heat, and sometimes we
00:20:41do not even get water, we are suffering terribly.
00:20:44how long
00:20:45will
00:20:49حار جدا. The weather is very hot and we are now at the height of
00:20:53summer. These tents make it even hotter and in these
00:20:57conditions there is no electricity and there are no fans.
00:21:01The situation is tragic. We cannot
00:21:04sleep. We go outside the tent at night to cool down,
00:21:08and in the morning we cannot sleep outside the tent because there are
00:21:11rodens.
00:21:16The yemeny armed forces have carried out new attacks on positions held. by
00:21:20the saudi back troops, the al-alalah military
00:21:24camp in Dale province was struck, explosions and drone
00:21:27attacks were also reported aiden, taiz and
00:21:31shabba. At the same time, missile and drone strikes targeted camps
00:21:35of Riyadh, aligned forces in Marib. Yemen's armed
00:21:38forces say the chief of staff the Saudi backed
00:21:42administration in Aden, Lieutenant General Saagir
00:21:46Hamoud Aziz was killed in one the strikes. For
00:21:50more than decade, Yemen has been gripped by conflict
00:21:54involving the popular ansarah resistance group as well
00:21:58as rival militants supported separately by Saudi
00:22:01Arabia and also the
00:22:03UAE.
00:22:09Ukraine's president Vladimir Zelensky calls an allies to provide
00:22:12more anti-ballistic missile systems as the war between Kiev
00:22:16and Moscow escalates.
00:22:58financial resources for war and relies aid and support
00:23:02from other countries, he called for additional funding
00:23:06specifically to expand Ukraine's own defense
00:23:10production. The Ukrainian president said allies have
00:23:13supplied just a third the air defense missiles to Ukraine in
00:23:172026 compared with 2025. Russia has
00:23:21repeatedly condemned NATO's supply of weapons to Kiev
00:23:25saying that such moves have prolonged the
00:23:27war.

00:24:03If you want to understand 21st century geopolitics,
00:24:07don't look at speeches, look at corridors and the center
00:24:11of almost all them is Iran, not as a
00:24:14spectator, as a structural necessity, from Washington's
00:24:17perspective, Iran is often frame. as a pressure point, but
00:24:21from geoeconomic perspective, it is something else
00:24:25entirely, the hinge of Eurasia, start with China's belt
00:24:28and road, a free train now runs from Zian straight into
00:24:32Aprin dryport, just outside Tehran, what used to
00:24:36take 40 days by sea can now take about 15
00:24:40by rail, and hey, that's not symbolism, that
00:24:44supply chain redesign, and it quietly places Iran
00:24:48inside the fastest. growing east west
00:24:51trade artery on the planet, then there's a north south exess,
00:24:55the INSTC linking Russia, Iran and India, a
00:24:59corridor that doesn't just connect economies, it intersects with
00:25:03every major east west route acrossing
00:25:07central Asia, and here's where the irony becomes hard
00:25:10to ignore, the more US or some other western
00:25:14plans try to root around Iran, the more
00:25:18physical geography. pulls them back through it, take India's
00:25:22ambition in chabahar, take China's interest in the Markran
00:25:26coast, take Russia's need for southern access, three different
00:25:30strategies, same unavoidable node. Iran
00:25:34sits at the intersection of competing systems, BRI or
00:25:38the belt road initiative on one side, INSTC or the
00:25:42international north south transport corridor on another, the US
00:25:45backed IMEC, so callalled India middle east Europe corridor
00:25:49attempt. to bypass them entirely, but bypassing
00:25:53Iran is not logistical detail, it is geopolitical
00:25:56contradiction, because even IMEC's logic depends on
00:26:00stable regional connectivity. a region where Iran is
00:26:04structurally unavoidable, meanwhile Washington's broader
00:26:08strategy, illegal sanctions, pressure
00:26:10containment was meant to limit Iran's connectivity,
00:26:14instead, it accelerated parallel systems,
00:26:18rail, ports and overland trade roots
00:26:22that reduce dependence on maritime choke points, and this is
00:26:26the quiet shift most headlines miss, Iran is
00:26:30embedded inside competing integration. models,
00:26:33Chinese, Russian, Indian and regional, which raises
00:26:37simple but uncomfortable question: a world being
00:26:41rebelled through corridors, what happens when the system
00:26:44itself cannot be drawn without you?
00:26:47Sometimes, the most strategic country is
00:26:51not the one controlling the map, it is
00:26:54the one every version the map is forced to pass
00:26:56through, no matter who draws
00:26:59the lines.
00:27:12This week on expose we examine the stories shaping public debate
00:27:16from political profiteering allegations covered by ms now
00:27:20economic anxieties highlighted by PBS News
00:27:23and the framing of war coverage by CBS News and
00:27:27Al-Jazera English. We explore how users on X are
00:27:30challenging official claims. While American late night satire
00:27:34turns political statements into moments of scrutiny, a journey through
00:27:38media numbers and public reaction reveals the forces shaping
00:27:42perception in turbulent times, the cause of conflict on
00:27:46expose.
00:30:21when
00:30:21the might of nations converged upon yeman, when the skies
00:30:25rain fire and the earth trembled, its people faced the
00:30:29stock choice, surrender or fight. They
00:30:33chose to fight from the
00:30:36cruisible of siege, from the ashes of bombardment,
00:30:40seed of defiance to crew, an unlikely military
00:30:44force began to stir distant to rewrite the balance of
00:30:48power, not just in the region, but across vital global
00:30:52arteries. This is the story of a journey from
00:30:55zero to hyperosonic.
