00:02:40The 70th general conference, the International Atomic Energy Agency has commence the UN
00:02:44headquarters in Vienna monday, Iran is taking part in the conference as well, but
00:02:48just ahead
00:02:48of the delegation,
00:02:49of Muhammad Islami was unable to attend, that's because the
00:02:52of host of country, Austria revoked his weekend, or his
00:02:56visa over the weekend. Press TVs deter Rajnish reports from
00:02:59of Vienna.
00:03:04The 70s General Conference
00:03:05of the International Atomic Energy Agency started with
00:03:09in a diplomatic scandal. Muhammad Islami, head
00:03:10of the Atomic
00:03:11of Energy Organization of Iran, who led the country's delegation, was spared
00:03:15from the conference. The conference started with a protest note from
00:03:19of Iran. Mr. President, finally, the denial of access
00:03:24of of head of delegation to the conference constitutes
00:03:27a clear abuse of power. and process by the host
00:03:31country, it further undermined Austria's
00:03:35overall standing as host of international
00:03:38organizations an impartial and professional
00:03:42manner and accordingly affect the views and
00:03:46positions of member state with regard to the host country. this
00:03:50situation, regrettably, a consequence
00:03:53of the host country's failure to uphold its explicit
00:03:57legal obligation, that failure.
00:04:12of
00:04:30said upon the hosting
00:04:33of country austria, austria to
00:04:36prevent the travel
00:04:40of islami to come to
00:04:44vienna, so this is of
00:04:48of course violation
00:04:49of the the commitment hosting
00:04:52of which of country has when you are preventing the head
00:04:56of delegation to come to participate.
00:05:00annual
00:05:01of conference, it is of course misusing your
00:05:04political, of course capacity. several
00:05:08delegations criticize the
00:05:10of behavior
00:05:10of the US and Austria in their speeches. Diplomatic sources told us
00:05:14that Iran, Russia, China and several other states are expected to issue a
00:05:18joint statement to the general conference in the coming days.
00:05:21Several days after adopting a new
00:05:24anti-Iran resolution at the IEA Board of
00:05:27Governors, Austria revoked the visa of
00:05:31Iran's nuclear chief. The first day the general
00:05:34conference highlighted the agencies deepening
00:05:38divisions with the US and its European allies on one
00:05:42side. and the majority the rest the world on the
00:05:45other, under director general Rafael Grossi,
00:05:49the IEA has shifted from a technical party towards
00:05:52a political
00:05:56and earlier Ranish also interviewed the former ia chief inspector
00:06:00yustri abushadi about Austria's move to revoke visa of
00:06:04Iran's nuclear chief, here's his take on
00:06:06this,
00:06:10very bit for austria fall. "I'm very unhappy really that
00:06:14this the first time to happen in Austria that they withdraw a
00:06:17visa for political reason and not
00:06:21allow the head the mission and the
00:06:24vice president of Iran to come to attend the
00:06:28general conference, this something didn't happen except
00:06:32in New York when the US
00:06:35sometimes prevented
00:06:38some politician to come to the United
00:06:42Nations." which is in violation of all the international
00:06:45laws, the interpretation the austrian
00:06:47delegate was actually very poor
00:06:51to say that they checked with the
00:06:55security council for the sanctions
00:06:58and
00:06:59there was a misunderstanding away they
00:07:03think that there is a sanction which is not
00:07:07and that is why they took this decision that was very
00:07:10weak the Iranian. and actually the Russian
00:07:13delegation replied to that and of course
00:07:17denounce the false declaration the
00:07:20Austria, they assess that there is a sanction, which
00:07:24actually there was no sanction, sanction ended in October last
00:07:28year formally, and there was
00:07:32no really clear reason except political pressure to
00:07:35prevent the delegate from coming, and that give very
00:07:39bad image about Austria. "and Austria
00:07:43is not just follower to follow what US
00:07:47says and it should have
00:07:49independent.
00:07:53now these three civilians were killed in latest Saudi
00:07:56air strikes and yemen areas in the southwestern province of
00:07:59Taiz. the yemen health ministry said to the victims are children. si
00:08:03fighter juds also bombed a government building in the khadir district of
00:08:06Thai's province has been a focus of Saudi air strikes as of
00:08:10late. meanwile Yemen's arm forces" launch large scale missile and drone
00:08:14strikes that heavily damaged the saudi kingdom's king
00:08:17Khalid airbase and khamis mushayat, they
00:08:20were warned of broader operations as Saudi aggression continues. The
00:08:24Ana also said they captured additional strategic islands in the southern red
00:08:28sea.
00:08:33Across thousands of square kilometers along the western coast, San
00:08:37forces executed the swift wide scale operation to clear
00:08:40Saudi back to Broxes.
00:08:51We have been receiving distress calls from the citizens for over four
00:08:54years. They have no electricity, the heat is literally killing
00:08:58them, no gas and no decent living conditions. They were
00:09:02even prevented from accessing these
00:09:04coasts.
00:09:09We clashed with the enemy, the treasurous sold mercenary his.
00:09:12who
00:09:20the enemy fled like animals fleeing from lions. it was an
00:09:24unprecedented victory and we thank God almighty for
00:09:27it. for the
00:09:31mercenaries, fear took control, they ran,
00:09:35they tried escape and
00:09:36withdraw, but ended up
00:09:40colliding with one another.
00:10:12as numerous as the stars in the sky, warships as many as the fish in the
00:10:16sea, armored vehicles as plentiful as the trees on earth, and
00:10:20soldiers as many as the rocks on the ground, we will never tire, we
00:10:23will never weary, "We will never submit or bow to anyone except God
00:10:27Almighty. For these soldiers,
00:10:31securing the western coast is only the beginning, vowing to press
00:10:35forward until every remaining governate is liberated. Their
00:10:39momentum on the ground has already rewritten the
00:10:42map. Over 500
00:10:46square kilometers are swiped in just days, the speed of this advance
00:10:50shows that years of collision presence collapsed the
00:10:54moment.
00:11:13We urge the US side to stop expanding its military capabilities and
00:11:16preparing for war in outer space and to take concrete actions to safeguard
00:11:20global strategic
00:11:21stability. foreign
00:11:25ministry further warned the deployment risks turning in outer space into a
00:11:29battlefield and fueling in arms race on monday
00:11:32US air force secretary said the space force has operational
00:11:36weapons in orbit capable of responding to threats from
00:11:39adversaries. China's reaction to this announcement comes amid growing
00:11:43competition between the two economic powers. militarization of space
00:11:47dates back to the cold war 1967 outer space tree though
00:11:51bands weapons of mass destruction in orbit but does not prohibit.
00:11:55other forms of military activity in
00:11:57space.
00:12:01join us out of Brussel's Gilbert Doctor independent international affairs
00:12:05analyst for more on the story. hello uh Mr. doctor always a pleasure
00:12:08sir. obviously the new um frontier
00:12:12it is space and it has been for years now they're finally
00:12:15learning uh how to utilize and weaponize it and this is a dream of many
00:12:19obvious global powers. your thoughts on the US taking this
00:12:23huge uh step now and blowback is going to obviously get from
00:12:27Beijing and Moscow, well of
00:12:31course they they will push back, but I think
00:12:34the the Chinese expression is
00:12:37exaggerated. I do not see how this
00:12:40development changes dramatically or
00:12:43significantly the power balance. I think
00:12:47we have to remember that the Russians have since
00:12:502018 had it their at their
00:12:54disposal. a missile which can circle which
00:12:58can circle the earth indefinitely, now how
00:13:01that is different from what the Americans have just done, I don't see the
00:13:05difference, that's to say space wars did not
00:13:09begin yesterday with the Americans putting this
00:13:12satellite, and I think you really
00:13:16have
00:13:16to go back to the at
00:13:18least,
00:13:21the the power balance is not changing, look at this. as i
00:13:25think you commentary said as an
00:13:28extension
00:13:29of Donald Trumps and part of Donald Trump's
00:13:33cold scenario, but all these do
00:13:37not any sense for a first
00:13:40break, that is to say the Americans do
00:13:44not join advantage
00:13:47strategic, the United States will be
00:13:51utterly destroyed,
00:14:07and uh and I'm glad you mentioned that buse that's obviously sentiment
00:14:11that many
00:14:12uh um share and and obviously it's been weaponized before you very well
00:14:16know there's been um borderline
00:14:20uh um sophisticated weaponry or I should say weaponry uh
00:14:23appliances set up space that has served uh
00:14:27you very well know um um military purposes uh to say the
00:14:31least so um do you think that uh global powers
00:14:35are going to work to try to diminish space becoming the new
00:14:38frontier of a weapons race or do you think they're just going to try to catch up
00:14:42and stick their own stuff out there and then other countries smaller countries and
00:14:46emerging countries following suit in the next
00:14:49decades it's very hard to say how
00:14:52this but the most will
00:14:56be further perfection the systems for
00:15:00destroying satellites can destroy,
00:15:04i believe
00:15:04i imagine chinese have that technical capability also, so
00:15:07if there were the crisis, i can
00:15:11imagine that either them would just systematically destroy the
00:15:15american center, for every action is always
00:15:19a reaction, and that the problem is that all of this takes us
00:15:23away from common sense. and from
00:15:27um uh from efforts to save humanity by turning to
00:15:30diplomacy negotiation, they're all evading the
00:15:34point, we don't need better armies, We need better
00:15:38diplomats. Okay, always a pleasure,
00:15:41Mr. Gilber doctor, stay safe, and thanks for joining us, joining us out of Brussels
00:15:45there. Well, as we have been
00:15:49reporting protests have erupted across several Syrian cities following a sharp
00:15:53increase in fuel
00:15:54prices.
00:16:07want to live, if nothing changes, there will be another revolution.
00:16:11These are our demands, and this is our right. We did not
00:16:15revolt to remove an oppressor, only to have someone even more oppressive
00:16:19take his place. We rose for dignity and for everything. We are the
00:16:23ones who put them in power today. We gave our sons and shed our blood.
00:16:27Then, when they took power, did they forget us? They forgot us and forgot the
00:16:30entire Syrian
00:16:32people.
00:16:36Syrian regime raised. diesel prices by up to 40% and petrol
00:16:40prices by 28%. Sunday, prompting demonstrators have burnt tires
00:16:44and block major roads. Protests have been reported in Idlib,
00:16:47Aleppo, Ham, Derazor and Racca, including along the
00:16:51Damascus Aleppo International Highway. Regime has blamed higher global
00:16:55energy costs and an overhaul the Banias refinery for the
00:16:58increases. The protest come despite hopes economic conditions will improve
00:17:02following the lifting of US
00:17:03sanctions.
00:17:08and joing us earlier for more on the story is geopolitical analyst Ryan
00:17:11Dawson.
00:17:16Unfortunately for Syria has been one economic crisis after
00:17:19another and Gillani's price hikes of 40%
00:17:23and 28% do not reflect that there is global
00:17:27turmoil so but he has exacerbated this far worse by putting these
00:17:30prices up. You have the bitus refinery is going to be offline for about three
00:17:34months. You have of course uh the conflict with Iran
00:17:38and the conflict with Yemen closing off the straight of Harmoos and the
00:17:42straight of which affects oil prices, and you have
00:17:46Ukraine striking Russian oil refineries which is reduced
00:17:49exports from Russia, which is a good chunk of serious
00:17:53oil imports. However, all of that combined does not
00:17:56account for a 40% increase in diesel, that is something the
00:18:00government decided to do its own if other
00:18:04factors. So it is not. completely
00:18:08untrue that the global factors are contributing to the
00:18:12oil price hikes and diesel fuel hikes, but
00:18:1540% and 28% greatly exceed that, it it doesn't
00:18:19cost that much to get diesel, this is the government
00:18:23using the pretex of a global event for extortion
00:18:26the
00:18:27public.
00:18:32your parliament speaker says US and Israel were delusional to think they'll break the
00:18:36nations will with their military. says the Irani
00:18:39nation is already shattered that delusion by street rallies held every
00:18:43single night since aggression began 200 days back a
00:18:47message to mark the 200th night of rallies khalibav said the people's turn
00:18:51out undermined enemies calculations. he also stressed the people's
00:18:54resistance is
00:18:55the reason for every failure the enemy to hatch plots
00:18:59against Iran. meanwile the commander the IRGC's aerospace force separately
00:19:03described the night rallies as uprising in defense of Iran's independence.
00:19:07brigadier general Majid Musavi called on everyone to
00:19:11continue uh their United Stands and support
00:19:15the authorities and the armed forces saying the ongoing rallies have stunned the
00:19:18enemies. another
00:19:22palestinian has been killed in the israel by Israeli forces in the occupied
00:19:26Westbank as the regime intensifies its crackdown against the Palestinian communities.
00:19:29According to Palestinian sources, victim is a 54-year-old man shot dead
00:19:33by Israeli forces during raid in Albera near Romala.
00:19:37occupation force soldiers raided a palestinian home in the town of
00:19:41Tukarm, forcing residents out and turning that house into a military
00:19:44outpost. now violence against Palestinians in occupied territories
00:19:48escalated since beginning the Gaza genocide back in late
00:19:512023.
00:19:56Israely officials have been angered by documentary exposing the occupation forces
00:20:00conduct in Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus described
00:20:03it as shocking incitement documentary name NASA,
00:20:07premiered in the Venice film festival. Occupation force chief A Zamir has
00:20:11ordered the military's a top legal official to examine legal action
00:20:15against the film and call for a probe into the
00:20:19leaking of classified material used in its production. The regime's culture
00:20:23minister also called for film's two Israeli directors to be stripped their
00:20:26citizenship. NASA won the special jury prize at the
00:20:30Venice Film festival after receiving a 25 minute standing over
00:20:343,700 agazans have been killed in Israel. genocidal
00:20:38war since late
00:20:392023. In the
00:20:43US, increasing opposition to ruling Republican Party is likely to
00:20:46translate into a mid-term election win for Democrats. in the house of
00:20:50representatives, this means a likely a third impeachment for President Donald
00:20:54Trump, but it's likely that he'll ultimately be acquited by the
00:20:58Senate. Ramy Mahari has a more out of
00:21:01DC.
00:21:05On the first Tuesday in November
00:21:06the United States will hold their midterm elections and by Wednesday
00:21:10President Donald Trump could be facing his third
00:21:13impeachment. If the democrats win control the House of
00:21:17Representatives, their leader has said they would... rule out
00:21:20pursuing impeachment on day one, which is what many
00:21:24anti-trump americans are hoping for, because it's necessary for
00:21:28everybody, we're all affected by it, not just
00:21:31Americans, all over the world, we're being affected by his
00:21:35insane policies, his
00:21:38horrible actions, his lack of caring, his
00:21:42lies, he should have been out the oval office years ago, he's
00:21:46only there because he wants to avoid to jail. "he's
00:21:50there for himself, and uh, we need to
00:21:53have uh, a person who thinks of uh, the greater good,
00:21:57not themselves. United States Representative, El Greene
00:22:01has already formally filed impeachment charges in the house
00:22:05over Trump's violation the War Powers Act of
00:22:081973 by going to war without approval
00:22:12from Congress. However, he's not getting many Democrats
00:22:16to support his efforts. The impeachment is not..."
00:22:20predicated upon having a certain number of people in Congress or a certain number of
00:22:24people to vote for it, the rules allow any member of Congress
00:22:28to bring articles before the house, and what is
00:22:31interesting, the democrats who may criticize me are not
00:22:35going to say or they're not going to deny that the president has
00:22:38committed impeachable offenses, so if you won't deny that he's
00:22:42committing impeachable offenses, then you should honor your oath of office and
00:22:46vote to impeach. Others have called for Trump's impeachment over.
00:22:50his genocidal threat to wipe out the whole Iranian
00:22:53civilization for ordering many war crimes such as the
00:22:57Minab Girl school massacre, for attacking protected
00:23:00civilian infrastructure, for indiscriminate attacks on civilian
00:23:04neighborhoods and more.
00:23:07The Democrats are expected to retake the house where only
00:23:11majority is needed to impeach, but even if they also
00:23:15flip the Senate, they are not going to be close to gaining the
00:23:1867 vote. super majority, which is required to
00:23:22actually convict a president. that means any impeachment of
00:23:26Trump will likely remain only symbolic, once again.
00:23:30other top law makers have demanded Trump's impeachment over his daily
00:23:34fascistic persecution of Latino-Americans and other immigrants,
00:23:38his economic support for tariffs, and his remodeling the east
00:23:42wing the White House. Ramen Mazahari, press TV,

00:24:12when you are born on Iranian soil, something is born with you,
00:24:16the belief that a homeland is not merely a place to live, but some...
00:24:20times a place you must be willing to die for. the roots of this belief
00:24:24can be found even in the legends of Iran, and perhaps no legend
00:24:28expresses it more powerfully than the story of arash. after the
00:24:32war between Iran and Turan, it is decided that Iran's new
00:24:35frontier will be determined by the flight of a single arrow.
00:24:39arash stands atop mount damavond. he puts all his
00:24:42strength, all his life into the arrow and releases it.
00:24:46arash dies, but the arrow flies on. where did it?
00:24:50and to find the answer, we must leave legend behind and enter
00:24:54history. 330 BC, Alexander had crushed
00:24:57nearly every May thous. They knew that if they resisted, they would
00:25:01die, but they chose nomination. They stopped Alexander's first
00:25:05domination. They stopped Alexander's first assault and forced him to
00:25:09retreat, and for the generations that followed, they left behind a
00:25:12legacy. Resistance means knowing that you may lose your life,
00:25:16yet refusing to let an enemy cross your land without paying.
00:25:20Price two centuries later, this time Rome came from the
00:25:23west. In 53 BC, Crasses invaded Parthian
00:25:27territory with vast army. Facing him stood young
00:25:31commander, Sirena, with his mounted archers and a thousand
00:25:35camels carrying an endless supply of arrows. Sirena filled the
00:25:38skies with a storm of arrows. The Roman army suffered one the
00:25:42most devastating defeats in its history, but for Iranians,
00:25:46land is not the only frontier. The sea is a front. here
00:25:50too: at the beginning the 16th century, the Portuguese
00:25:53seized Hormus, a small island at the entrance to the Persian
00:25:57Gulf, whose control meant command over one the most important trade
00:26:01roots between east, and west, they built fortresses, they brought
00:26:05cannons, and they remained for more than a century. In
00:26:081622, Iranian forces under the command of Imam
00:26:12Koli Khan, reached Hormus. After a hard fought siege,
00:26:16Portuguese power in Hormus was broken, and the island was
00:26:19retaken, but the Persian Gulf never
00:26:23disappeared from the ambitions of colonial powers. In
00:26:261915, British forces occupied Bucher
00:26:30against an army backed by war. ships, artillery, and the power of
00:26:34one the world's greatest empires, the people of southern Iran stood
00:26:38with simple rifles. Their resistance was led by a
00:26:41man named Rais Ali Delvari. During the months of
00:26:45occupation, he organized the resistance the people of
00:26:48Tangistan. For Rais Ali, the question was never how
00:26:51many soldiers stood on either side. The principle was simple:
00:26:55Iranian soil is not negotiable, even if defending it
00:26:59costs your life. Rais Ali was eventually... martered in that
00:27:03struggle. September 3rd, the anniversary of his marterdom, is
00:27:07commemorated in Iran as the National Day of struggle against British
00:27:11colonialism, but the resistance did not end with his death.
00:27:14Years later, British forces finally left Bucher, yet the
00:27:18ambitions of foreign powers toward Iran did not end
00:27:21there, because Iran also had
00:27:25oil. For decades, much of Iran's oil industry remained under
00:27:29the influence of a British company until... 1951,
00:27:33Muhammad Mosadeg stood against threats, political pressure, and
00:27:37economic pressure, and declared, Iran's oil must belong to
00:27:41Iran. The oil industry was nationalized. Two years
00:27:45later, a coup backed directly by the United States and Britain
00:27:48overthrough his government. Mosadeg was removed from power and
00:27:52spent the remaining years of his life in imprisonment and house
00:27:55arrest, but one demand could no longer be erased. Iran's
00:27:59wealth must remain in Iranian hands.
00:28:02land, water, oil, but now
00:28:06the issue is no longer only land, water or oil, it
00:28:10is something greater than all them, independence, the question of
00:28:14who has the right to decide Iran's future, in June
00:28:172025, the United Facilities, and since
00:28:21February 20 facilities, and since February
00:28:242026, Iran has been engaged in direct military
00:28:27confrontation with the United States and Israel, for months,
00:28:31military and Economic pressure has continued, but Iran has never
00:28:35been willing to trade its independence for temporary peace.
00:28:39Bows, arrows and horses have given way to launchers,
00:28:42missiles, tanks, drones
00:28:46and fighter jets,
00:28:49but the blood of Arash still runs through Iranian veins. And
00:28:53now, let us return to the same question: where did Arash's
00:28:57arrow land? The arrow flew more than a, kilometers
00:29:01all the way to the banks the... Oxis river, arash lost his
00:29:04life, but he did not allow the enemy to decide
00:29:08Iran's fate, and that legacy
00:29:12passed from one generation to the next. An
00:29:15Iranian may give his life for his homeland and
