00:01:08a
00:01:10a
00:01:18hello and of welcome everybody, it's 9:30 a.m. here in the Iranian
00:01:21a capital
00:01:21and you're watching press tv's world news.
00:01:24a top story for this half hour, a meeting which was to be held in
00:01:28oman between the Persian golf cont and Iran to discuss possible
00:01:31agreements on the straight of hormos has been postponed. the meeting was
00:01:35originally scheduled to be held on Monday, according to the Iranian foreign ministry's
00:01:39director general for the Persian Gulf, the meeting
00:01:42of the Persian Gulf literal states foreign
00:01:44of ministers will be held a later date. Muhammad Ali Bek added
00:01:48that the decision was made jointly by Tehran and Muscat at the request
00:01:52of some regional countries. The official stress that Iran will continue
00:01:56consultations with
00:01:57of Oman
00:01:57of to set a suitable date for the meeting. Earlier Omani foreign minister
00:02:01Badrsaidi said
00:02:03in a social media post that the meeting which was set to be
00:02:07held in the city of Salala has been postponed in the
00:02:11interest of
00:02:12a consensus among regional states. He said Muscat remains committed to
00:02:15fostering dialogue that supports
00:02:17of stability
00:02:18of a and lasting cooperation in the region. The
00:02:20of meeting was aimed at discussing ways to decrease
00:02:24tensions in the straight of
00:02:25hormos.
00:02:29And... Investigative journalist Rick Sterling says
00:02:32of Bahrain's refusal to take part in the meeting and Saudi Arabia's request to
00:02:36postpone it suggests that both countries are
00:02:38a not yet ready to follow through a policy
00:02:41change. I
00:02:45think they're a point where they are not yet ready to
00:02:48realize or to uh follow through a change of
00:02:52policy. They're kind of stuck
00:02:53in a hard place because of course the US naval
00:02:57central command is is in Bahrain. and yet to
00:03:01quote the uh the naval secretary
00:03:04of the US command there, he said quote, they
00:03:08the Iranians blew the hell out of Bahrain, so that's what
00:03:12happened, that's what the consequence was of
00:03:15Bahrain's collaboration and the use
00:03:19of of their territory in the US unprovoked attack on
00:03:23Iran, and I think they're they're a point where they're
00:03:27not yet ready to recognize reality. and
00:03:30recognize the their long-term interests, which
00:03:34are to move away
00:03:36from support for
00:03:36the US toward support for Iran, which after all is
00:03:40is
00:03:41of one
00:03:41of their neighboring countries. um, so I think we're a
00:03:45critical time, and it's
00:03:47a better that the meeting be postponed and to
00:03:51establish greater, greater
00:03:54coherence and agreement on on the path
00:03:57forward. We've seen in the past. where
00:04:00of negotiations have been used by both you US and
00:04:03Israel for uh for
00:04:05attacks, Russia has called the United
00:04:09States
00:04:11of agreement
00:04:11incapable. Oil
00:04:15prices have jumped by more than $3 a barrel as tensions
00:04:19in the straight of hormos and ansorlas advances in the
00:04:22balbel shake global markets. Brent's crude
00:04:26climbed above $107 a barrel extending its rise after jumping more.
00:04:30than 8% last week. West Texas intermediate is also
00:04:33of trading above $103 a barrel. The rise follows Ansarlas
00:04:37advances in Yemen growing tensions around the red
00:04:39in sea and attacks
00:04:41of a key Saudi pipeline that bypasses a straight of hormones.
00:04:45Saudi Arabia's ministry of energy has announced the precautionary closure
00:04:49of the East-West pipeline. The disruption is already causing
00:04:52fuel shortages and price pressures, including in the

00:05:28effects the unprovoked war of aggression which is being waged on Iran
00:05:32by the Epstein coalition continues to bite hard on Italy's
00:05:35family finances and businesses. As tensions keep building

00:06:21across the EU is being affected not only by the worsening situation in
00:06:25west Asia, but also by severe shortage of refining
00:06:28capacity. here in Italy, several refineries have been shut down in
00:06:32recent years. as result, Rome has already begun drawing its
00:06:36strategic fuel reserves, while fuel prices have reached record
00:06:40highs. costs are likely to continue rising, if international tensions
00:06:44do not ease high fuel costs have been putting enormous pressure
00:06:47on supply chains since over 80% of goods in
00:06:51Italy are transported by road. surveys have

00:14:25Palestinian officials in Gaza war that Israel's ban on the entry of AID, including
00:14:29spare parts for vehicles, has pushed the territory's public
00:14:33transport sector to the brink of complete shutdown. According to Palestinian media,
00:14:36roughly 70% of Gaza's public transportation, fleet has already
00:14:40gone out of service due to severe shortages of tires,
00:14:44lubricants and spare parts, and the rest will stop working within
00:14:48days. The transportation crisis comes amit widespread
00:14:51destruction of roads and infrastructure across Gaza.
00:14:55due to Israel's genocidal war on the territory, Gaza's public transportation
00:14:59companies syndicate has announced that the Israeli restrictions on
00:15:03the entry of maintenance supplies will lead to
00:15:06total transport shut down within days. It called on
00:15:10international organizations to intervene urgently and pressure the
00:15:14regime to allow the entry of tires ubricates and spare parts into
00:15:18Gaza.
00:15:25Academic and researcher Jim Kavano says Israeli officials not only openly
00:15:29admit to this policy but are also actively making living conditions in
00:15:32Gaza so unbearable that Palestinians are driven from their
00:15:36homes.
00:15:40"they don't hesitate to say it explicitly, that's
00:15:43their their goal, their objective is to make
00:15:47Gaza unlivable and to force the Palestinians
00:15:50out, and just said the
00:15:53other day, well, if only if European countries take 20 or
00:15:5730,000 Palestinians from Gaza each, then you this whole thing will
00:16:01be over soon, and that's their objective is
00:16:04to create a situation.
00:16:08where
00:16:09you know based on their great humanity, the European and western countries and
00:16:13other countries who are going to be bribed by the
00:16:17west with debt, relief etc. are going to take
00:16:2020, 30, 50 thousand palestinians each and get
00:16:24them out of gaza, and they'll be happy to go, because there's their lives in
00:16:28Gaza are miserable and they can't live,
00:16:31you know this, that's what Israel is doing, they're
00:16:35making life unlivable for. palestinians and there's
00:16:39no entity, there's no force that's
00:16:42stopping this. Gaza has been handed
00:16:45over by the United Nations to
00:16:49Israel's patron, Israel and its patron, the United States in the form
00:16:53of Donald Trump and the board of peace and Jared Kushner who
00:16:57just went and said, oh yeah, Israel has to finish the job, we're okay, we're telling them they
00:17:01can finish the job, that's the job they're going to finish is to is
00:17:04to kill or expell the Palestinians.
00:17:09A deepening humanitarian crisis is unfolding across the Gaza Strip where the
00:17:13war has profoundly disrupted traditional family structures. More than
00:17:1786,00 households are now headed entirely by women leaving
00:17:20mothers to shoulder, the devastating dual burden of providing
00:17:24for their families while navigating displacement loss and
00:17:28systemic protection failures. Mina
00:17:31reports.
00:17:36For me that. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is not an
00:17:40abstract statistic, but a daily struggle to keep her family safe
00:17:44and fid. A mother of sex, she has experience reflects a
00:17:48wider crisis. According to United Nations estimates,
00:17:5168% of female headed households in Gaza
00:17:55lack adequate shelter, leaving thousands of women and their
00:17:59children endure displacement, insecurity and deepening
00:18:02hardship. During
00:18:06the war. When I lost my husband, I became the head the household
00:18:10and the sould provider. I'm the one source of income. I tried to
00:18:14work, even simple project like baking inside the tent and
00:18:18selling it, but it's difficult because I can't raise six children on my
00:18:22own, and work at the same time. I rely only
00:18:25aid from people and food
00:18:28parcels. As life was turned
00:18:31upside down as she found herself acting as both
00:18:35mother and father to three children. battling severe anemia
00:18:39with no financial savings, unable to secure medicine or
00:18:43a livelyhood emit a devastated
00:18:45reality.
00:18:49I lost my husband in the war. I became responsible for taking my sick
00:18:52children for medical treatment and the burden has become much heavier on
00:18:56me. No one supports me. I rush between hospitals and take all my
00:19:00children with me because I don't feel safe leaving them with anyone. My hands
00:19:04are exhausted from carrying water gallons alongside. long
00:19:07distances, I don't even have money for transportation. I used to live a
00:19:11good life where my husband took care of me and now everything is
00:19:14gone. The devastating scale
00:19:18the crisis is reflected in United Nations reports,
00:19:22documenting the deaths of 246 women and
00:19:26girls, average of six lives lost every week since the
00:19:30October 2025, seesfire. At the same time, thousands
00:19:34of women have been forced into the rule of solid. winners for
00:19:38families fractured by war left to provide for their children
00:19:42while confronting the constant threat of death,
00:19:45displacement, deprivation and the destruction the
00:19:48systems meant to protect
00:19:50them. palestinian women have
00:19:54shouldered immense responsibilities to keep their families alive, securing
00:19:58basic necessities such as water, medicine and food amid the
00:20:02war, yet despite an international legal framework designed to
00:20:05protect women in conflict, including UN security council
00:20:09resolutions and the Rome statute the international criminal court, the
00:20:13international community has repeatedly failed to enforce these
00:20:16protections or hold Israel
00:20:18accountable. In Gaza

00:20:50Iraq is facing a growing fuel crisis with gasoline shortages and long
00:20:54cues at filling stations, adding to the pressure on
00:20:58citizens and the government. The disruption comes in geopolitical tension
00:21:01surrounding the straight of hormos, production problems in major
00:21:04facilities and difficulties transporting and distributing
00:21:08fuel across the country. Now our file
00:21:10reports.
00:21:14The fuel crisis is deepening in the Iraqi capital,
00:21:17Baghdad and several southern. provinces with
00:21:21long lines of vehicles stretching for considerable
00:21:25distances outside gas station amid a
00:21:28shortage of imported gasoline, the crisis has
00:21:32placed additional burden on Iraq citizens, coming
00:21:36a time when the country is already facing growing
00:21:40economic
00:21:40challenges. This is
00:21:44the fourth
00:21:45gas station I have visited in search of gasoline. I've spent the hours driving
00:21:49around Baghdad. moving from one area to another, but i could not find
00:21:53a station with fuel available. now i have finally found a
00:21:57station where gasoline is available and hope this crisis will not continue for
00:22:00much longer. honestly, the
00:22:04iraqi people are suffering greatly because the gasoline crisis. i came from
00:22:08southern Baghdad to central Baghdad, and we could not find a single
00:22:12open station to refuel. taxi drivers are also suffering because of
00:22:16limited fairs and the fuel shortage. we have to stand in long.
00:22:20for hours just to get gasoline. I hope this crisis ends
00:22:24soon because it has placed a heavy burden on the Iraqi people.
00:22:27Earlier this month, oil minister Basam
00:22:30Muhammad said efforts were underway to
00:22:34address the shortage of gasoline, noting that new
00:22:38fuel shipments were expected to arrive in Iraq soon.
00:22:42Observers, meanwhile believe that the
00:22:45repercussions the closure the straight of hermus by the United States.
00:22:50along with disruptions a number of fuel
00:22:54stations have contributed to worsing the crisis
00:22:57and affected the fuel supplies to the local
00:23:00market.
00:23:04the fuel crisis in Iraq has emerged against the backdrop the closure
00:23:08the straight of hormous and the resulting geopolitical risks
00:23:12creating a combination of challenges for the Iraqi government. there should have been
00:23:16a strategic plan in place to ensure sufficient supplies. to meet
00:23:20domestic consumption, at the same time, several major production
00:23:24facilities are facing technical problems, while fuel transportation
00:23:28is also experiencing disruptions. there is currently lack of
00:23:32efficiency and smoothness in the process of delivering fuel to the
00:23:36local market. the Iraqi government is seeking urgent
00:23:39solutions to secure fuel supplies and ease the pressure
00:23:43on citizens as the gasoline crisis continues
00:23:47to occupy a significant place in Iraq's current
00:23:50economic and service landscape. Iraq's
00:23:54fuel crisis is placing a growing burden on citizens with
00:23:58long cues at gas stations and hours of waiting for
00:24:02gasoline. The crisis comes as the Iraqi government
00:24:06faces additional challenges from the current situation the
00:24:10straight of hermus. Press TV, Nawar Faek.

00:26:0320 days, that was all the time Mohammad Ali Khalaha had in
00:26:07this world. He was born in Gazwi in Iran a time when the
00:26:11country was already at war, but war was never supposed to define his
00:26:14life. He was supposed to grow up, sleep safely in his mother's
00:26:18arms. Here his seven-year-old brother left and slowly discovered the
00:26:22world around him. Instead, his life lasted just
00:26:2620 days during a US-Israeli air strike on Tehran
00:26:29a residential building in the Majida area. was strike.
00:26:33Muhammad Ali, his mother, his seven-year-old brother, and several other family
00:26:37members were killed while visiting relatives at their
00:26:40home. The explosion was so powerful that the baby's body
00:26:44was thrown out the house. He was only 20 days
00:26:47old. He was not a soldier, he was not a
00:26:51politician. He carried no weapon and had no role in the conflict. He
00:26:55was simply baby. Wars are often described through statistics,
00:26:59how many missiles were fired, how many buildings were destroyed. how many
00:27:03people were killed, because the true cost of war is not
00:27:06measured only by numbers, sometimes
00:27:09it is measured by silent cradle, by tiny piece
00:27:13of clothing that will never be worn, by room where a
00:27:17baby's cries will never be heard again. that
00:27:21is why the story of Muhammad Ali is more than the story of one
00:27:25victim, it forces simple question: when war
00:27:29reaches baby's room, what happens to our ideas of...
00:27:32security, humanity and the value of human life. For many Iranians,
00:27:36Muhammad Ali's name carries even deeper meaning. In
00:27:40Shia Muslim tradition, the name Aliaskar recalls the youngest
00:27:44son of Imam Hussein a baby who became one the most
00:27:47powerful symbols of innocence and suffering during the tragedy of
00:27:51Karbala. Senturies separate Alias caught in violence. He did
00:27:55not choose and could never understand. For many Iranians, Muhammad
00:27:59Ali became modern reminder of that same. innocence, a
00:28:03child who had not even had the chance to discover what life
00:28:07was before war took it away. he was born into war and he
00:28:10died in it. his entire life lasted 20 days. that is why his
00:28:14name should never disappear into a list of casualties. for his
00:28:18memory to survive, his story must be told for years to
00:28:22come. 20 days of life, lifetime of
00:28:25remembrance.
