00:00:27The
00:00:27of headlines, Iran's deputy nuclear chief says, real reports
00:00:30derafted by foreign intelligence agencies and
00:00:33of hostile groups have been the basis of misinformation released about
00:00:37Iran's
00:00:38of nuclear program. Parliament speaker ghav says a US
00:00:41conspiracy to attack Iran from Iraq's Kurdistan region during the
00:00:4540 war was neutralized in cooperation with
00:00:49Kurdish officials and as occupation army detains
00:00:52Press TV's correspondent
00:00:55a Nagahammed near
00:00:59of Bethlehem.
00:01:20has been elected
00:01:21a to the IAEa General Committee, despite US
00:01:25efforts to block its participation, Iran's permanent mission
00:01:29to the UN, that ia's member states chose
00:01:33to vote in
00:01:35in a favor of Iran, rejecting unilateral US pressure to impose its will on the collective
00:01:39decision
00:01:39of the body. The mission called for the United States to be held
00:01:43accountable for continuous and serious violations
00:01:47of international law, including support of Israel's
00:01:51genocide in Gaza and interference in other countries internal
00:01:55affairs. The Iranian mission further noted Washington's
00:01:58violation of human. by attacking weddings and
00:02:02massacring school children in Iran and violation
00:02:05of the human charter and the IAA statute by
00:02:09attacking Iran's safeguard nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, the
00:02:13spokesman
00:02:14of the atomic energy organization of Iran
00:02:17of Behruz Kamalwandi addressed the 70th
00:02:20of of the general conference underway in Vienna. He emphasized that the
00:02:24of issue fabricated around Iran's peaceful nuclear program is
00:02:27a result of unreal
00:02:29of reports. drafted by foreign intelligence agencies and
00:02:33hostel
00:02:36in in groups.
00:02:41a the fabricated nuclear issue is a product of
00:02:45unreal reports drafted with the contribution of hostile
00:02:49groups and intelligence services and
00:02:52agencies. the capacities and mechanism
00:02:55of the IEA were used as an instrument to place
00:02:59immense. pressure on Iranian nation and resulted in
00:03:03the imposition of allowed sanctions, the
00:03:06assassination of scientist,
00:03:09of industrial sabotages and ultimately the
00:03:13creation
00:03:13of the condition that led to the two wars against
00:03:17Iran. Camon Vandi
00:03:21called out the director general
00:03:23of the UN's nuclear body for giving out statements provided
00:03:26pretext for Iran's adversaries to launch. attacks
00:03:30against Iran. He noted that the IAS chief
00:03:34has undermined the credibility
00:03:36of the body through politicized conduct and by refraining
00:03:40to condemn the US industry attacks on Iran's nuclear
00:03:43sites. The Iranian official reiterated that
00:03:47Tehran has always been transparent about its in peaceful
00:03:51nuclear program which has been developed within the framework of
00:03:55its legitimate rights to meet domestic needs. He
00:03:59reminded that nuclear
00:04:00a know-how is deep rooted in the country and
00:04:03a Iran's enemies must understand that this cannot be
00:04:06eliminated through military aggression and
00:04:09assassinations. Kamal Vandi
00:04:11a concluded his remarks by reiterating Iran's morted leaders
00:04:15moto saying quote "nuclear energy for all,
00:04:19nuclear
00:04:22of of weapons for
00:04:24in none." Press TV's correspondent Theatrenish
00:04:27was with us earlier
00:04:29of with more details and how Iran has been elected to the IAEA's
00:04:33general committee despite attempt by the United States to
00:04:36block its
00:04:39of candidacy, the conference
00:04:43committee is one of two committees
00:04:44of the general conference that are overseeing the workings
00:04:48of the general conference
00:04:51of and Iran was contesting as one
00:04:54a of five candidates and the United States
00:04:58of aimed to uh Iran from
00:05:03a contesting to the general committee, they they tried to table
00:05:07a resolution and following the Iranian
00:05:10request. ballot had been
00:05:14held, so proceedings were um were
00:05:18suspended, secret ballot was held
00:05:21and Iran was eventually elected
00:05:25to the committee by the
00:05:271881 member states the IAA,
00:05:31this is really uh important uh news
00:05:35because uh we clearly see uh it it it was
00:05:39basically vote between those to support the United States. and
00:05:43those who oppose uh the western dominance the
00:05:46IEA and the majority voted in favor of
00:05:50Iran, that clearly shows also the shifting power
00:05:54dynamics here in the general conference, which are
00:05:58not reflected in the quarterly board of governors where the
00:06:01west still has majority and
00:06:05where the United States and the European troika
00:06:08are constantly pushing for yet another antiran.
00:06:12resolution because they know they have majority in this
00:06:16port uh which has 35 members, but when we look
00:06:20at the the highest body here the IAA where every
00:06:24single member state can vote,
00:06:26and as I said there are 100 81 member
00:06:29states
00:06:30so far, there was a majority in favor of including Iran
00:06:34in this
00:06:36committee.

00:08:33action against Iran from Iraq's Kurdistan region during the
00:08:3740-day war was foiled by Iranian forces in

00:09:21ties vowing that Iraqi territory won't become a safe
00:09:25haven for anti-Iran armed

00:09:33Modern warfare is increasingly defined by the ability to see
00:09:37through an adversarie defenses, strike with precision and
00:09:41adapt rapidly. under fire, nearly 200 days
00:09:44into the US and his regression against Iran, the conflict has put the
00:09:48Islamic Republic's years of investment in indigenous
00:09:52military technology to the test, revealing capabilities that
00:09:56Tehran says have challenged longstanding assumptions
00:10:00about the country's defensive and offensive strength. We have more in

00:10:04report.
00:10:08It has been 200 days since the start the US Israeli aggression.
00:10:12against Iran. During this period, Iran has showcased range of
00:10:16military capabilities that, according to Iranian officials, took
00:10:20the adversary by surprise, and demonstrated capabilities it had not
00:10:24expected taron. to
00:10:25possess.
00:10:29One the most notable areas was air defense. Iran says its air
00:10:33defense systems have made significant advances in recent years, particularly
00:10:37in detection, tracking, and interception. During the war,
00:10:41Iranian forces detected and destroyed an F-15, while also
00:10:45detecting tracking and bringing an F-35 into the
00:10:48engagement envelope of Iranian air defense systems, challenging the
00:10:52assumption that the aircraft could not be detected or... engaged by such
00:10:56systems. Iran also says its air defenses detected and destroyed
00:11:00dozens of advanced enemy drones, including US-made
00:11:03MQ9 and Israeli Hermes drones.
00:11:07Iranian officials say these operations prove the progress not only in
00:11:11conventional air defense systems, but also in the ability to detect,
00:11:15track and counter newer forms of aerial threats. another major
00:11:18development came in Iran's attacks on US military facilities across
00:11:22West Asia following the start the... on February 28th,
00:11:26Iran says it targeted US bases and military facilities in the
00:11:30UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait
00:11:34and Iraq. The strikes involved range of Iranian ballistic missiles
00:11:37including the Fato One, Koramshar 4,
00:11:41Sejil, Haj Gasim and Hebrekan. The Fotto One is
00:11:45solid fuel missile with reported range of around 1,400
00:11:48kilometers and a maneuverable re-entry vehicle designed to alter its
00:11:52trajectory during the terminal phase. potentially complicating
00:11:56interception, the Korem Shar 4 has reported range of around
00:12:002,0 kilometers and is designed to carry a large warhead
00:12:04for long-range strikes. The Segil is two-stage solid fuel
00:12:07ballistic missile, giving it substantial regional reach and allowing
00:12:11for faster launch preparation than liquid fuel sill designed for
00:12:15precision strikes. The hiiba shakan, another solid fuel ballistic
00:12:19missile has also featured prominently in the conflict with Iranian
00:12:22forces reportedly using it against US. military positions in the
00:12:26region, its maneuverable terminal trajectory is intended to make
00:12:30interception more difficult than early September, Iran
00:12:34said it used newly developed electro optical missiles for the first time
00:12:38against US warships. The missiles use cameras and optical
00:12:41sensors to identify and track targets, allowing them to operate
00:12:45without relying on GPS. Iran says this makes them less
00:12:49vulnerable to electronic jamming. Moson Rey, Iran's
00:12:53newly appointed secretary the... Supreme National Security Council,
00:12:57also said new special anti-destroyer missile had been used in a
00:13:00strike, describing it as part of new approach to Iran's defense
00:13:04policy. Iranian officials say the military is now collecting
00:13:07operational data from the conflict and feeding it into intelligence
00:13:10analysis, military universities, research institutions and
00:13:14defense industries to improve equipment and tactics. Tehran also
00:13:18emphasizes the use of domestically developed systems whose technical
00:13:22characteristics are less familiar to its adversaries. Making it more
00:13:25difficult for them to develop effective counter-measures. Iranian military
00:13:29officials stressed that the capabilities demonstrated during the war represent
00:13:33only part the country's overall military capacity, they say Iran
00:13:37deliberately avoids exposing all of its weapons, technologies
00:13:41and tactics in a single conflict, keeping some capabilities
00:13:45undisclosed for future
00:13:46contingencies.
00:13:51South Korea's dilemma over whether to submit to a US demand to
00:13:55deploy forces to the straight of removes grows by the day,
00:13:59some polls now showing majority of South Koreans are
00:14:02opposed to the deployment, they are also concerned about relations with
00:14:06Iran, as Press TV reporting on the issue has gone
00:14:10viral on Korean media, our correspondent Frank Smith reports
00:14:14from
00:14:21so, South Korean civil society elevated by shifts in public.
00:14:25Sentiment are calling for President EJM Young to make clear
00:14:28decision. They want him to turn down US President Donald Trump's
00:14:32demand for Saul to send forces to the straight of Hormus
00:14:36and to decline support for Trump's unjustified illegal
00:14:40war on Iran. You need only reject the
00:14:43unreasonable demands the United States and respond to
00:14:46the demands the citizens. It is incredibly simple,
00:14:50refuse the deployment of troops. The US president's pressure on
00:14:54soul. has clearly backfired with ever more protests
00:14:58against South Korea's participation in Trump's reckless aggression
00:15:02against Iran. Surveys the South Green Public had
00:15:05previously shown opinion here quite split over whether
00:15:08or not to send forces to the straight of Hormus to
00:15:12support the U.S. war on Iran. However, more
00:15:16recent polling from Gallup Korea now shows clear
00:15:20majority of South Koreans opposed to the move. South
00:15:24Koreans are also concerned about how Iranians feel about their
00:15:27country with recent press TV report reposted to
00:15:31major broadcaster's channel here going viral and
00:15:34generating 15,00 likes i The Korean
00:15:38people have seen Iran suddenly subjected to U.S. aggression, seeing
00:15:42children, women, and citizens suffer, lose their lives and
00:15:46their country reduced to ruins. We will cheer and support the Iranian
00:15:50people so that they may defend their sovereignty and ultimately triamp over
00:15:54this absurd American aggression. While South Korean security
00:15:57experts point to Washington's weakening commitment to its alliance with
00:16:01Saul, civic leaders advocate a lasting shift
00:16:04away from US hegemonic geopolitics.
00:16:37expect an early announcement with president to give news
00:16:41conference in the coming days. Frank Smith, press TV.

00:16:49As we have been reporting, Press TV's West Bank correspondent has
00:16:53just been arrested by the israely regime's forces near Bethlehem.
00:16:57She along with her camera crew were stopped a flying
00:17:00checkpoint near the town of tu southeast of
00:17:04Bethlehem. The regime's forces searched them and
00:17:06then took. No into custody, this after weeks of
00:17:10incidement against her byy settlers
00:17:13and
00:17:21another palestinian has been killed by hisready forces in the west bank as the

00:17:29territory,
00:17:33they blew open Zyad's front door and stormed inside barely a minute.
00:17:37passed before I heard my brother's voice, he let out a scream,
00:17:41loud, terrifying cry, the soldiers had restrained my daughter and me,
00:17:45confining us to room, an hour and a half later, my brother who had
00:17:49been inside, was wounded, he had been shot and succumbed to his
00:17:52injuries. I swear to God, it's a death sentence, my brother had no
00:17:56charges against
00:17:56him.
00:18:00According to Palestinian sources, the victim is a
00:18:0354-year-old man who was shot by his rootty forces to...
00:18:07during raid and albeire near Romal. Meanwhile
00:18:11Israely soldiers raided a palestinian house a town north of
00:18:14Tulkram forcing its residents out and turning the house
00:18:18into a military outpost. The occupation forces also
00:18:22stormed the town of Gabolan south of Napolis where they
00:18:26detain 13 Palestinians. Violence against Palestinians
00:18:30in the West Bank has escalated since Israel began its
00:18:33genocidal warring Gaza in October 2023.
00:18:43This ready attacks on Gaza continue unabated, the Palestinian death
00:18:47doll since October 2023 has surpassed
00:18:5173,700 while
00:18:54174,800
00:18:58others have been injured. Press TV's correspondent Ibrahim
00:19:01joined us earlier from an update on the situation
00:19:05there.
00:19:10Israeli attacks continue, more palestinians continue to fall victim
00:19:14to these attacks, we are talking about three palestinians killed since the early
00:19:18hours of this morning until now, starting from the north in
00:19:21halawa, halawa refugee camp in the northern parts of
00:19:25Zabalia, one Palestinian elderly man, 65 years old
00:19:29man was killed or shot dead by the Israeli forces in
00:19:33the area, moving to the west of Gaza city, another Palestinian
00:19:36man was... killed as result of a drone attack on his vehicle
00:19:40and in the central parts of Gaza City and Saftawi
00:19:44round round about particular one Palestinin man was also killed as
00:19:48a result of similar attack a group of civilians in
00:19:52that area. We are talking about 27 Palestinians injured
00:19:56since the early hours of this morning until now. The recent uh the most
00:20:00recent attack took place area that resulted in nine
00:20:04injuries among the civilians and most them are.
00:20:08have sustained the critical injuries as well, the Israel incubation
00:20:12army is still expanding is is it presence in
00:20:15these areas, particularly in the eastern b of bridge refugee
00:20:19camp that have that has actually witnessed
00:20:22very um very very heavy
00:20:26artillery sharing since early hours the morning and until now we are still
00:20:30hearing the shooting from the Israeli tanks and from the
00:20:33Israeli forces in that area which is
00:20:36actually feeling more that the Israel incubation is
00:20:40sitting and another military post in the area and
00:20:43expanding its presence in the eastern bars of Ali braid
00:20:47refugee camp as well.
00:20:52The UN human rights office as the recovery of hundreds of bodies from
00:20:56buildings destroyed by Israely strikes in Gaza has renewed concerns
00:21:00over war
00:21:01crimes.
00:21:05The painstaking recovery of extensive human remains in
00:21:09Gaza, mostly of children and women, almost
00:21:13three years after their homes were heavily bombed by Israeli
00:21:17forces, underscores the... concerns over
00:21:21compliance with international law and the
00:21:24possibility that serious violations, including war
00:21:27crimes may have been committed. Israel has clear
00:21:31obligations to take all measures to search and account for
00:21:35missing people and to search, collect and
00:21:38evacuate the dead. in areas where the
00:21:42Israeli ground forces are deployed, remains must be recovered in
00:21:45dignified manner, identified and all potential
00:21:49evidence. preserved, recovering and burying the
00:21:53victims does not substitute for establishing the
00:21:57circumstances in which they were killed.
00:22:01these attacks must be effectively investigated, where
00:22:04violations are established, those responsible must be held
00:22:08to
00:22:09account.
00:22:13king to the UN human rights office remains of entire
00:22:17families, including many women and ch. children have been recovered from
00:22:21destroyed sites, the discoveries, echo concerns
00:22:25raised a 2024 UN report that Israely attacks
00:22:29on residential buildings and civilian sites may have
00:22:32violated international humanitarian law, palestinian civil
00:22:36defense says more than 630 bodies have been
00:22:39recovered since November
00:22:412025, while authorities
00:22:44estimate 8000 others remain buried
00:22:48under to debr since October 2023, desrady genocidal war
00:22:52in Gaza has resulted in the death of tens of
00:22:56thousands of Palestinians and a widespread destruction of homes
00:22:59and civilian
00:23:01infrastructure.
00:23:35In today's show, we'll be revisiting the genocide in South Lebanon, which
00:23:39is continuing to see killings, displacement, and the destruction of
00:23:43homes unfolding every day, he spite a supposed cease
00:23:46fire, well the scale of destruction in
00:23:50South Lebanon is almost
00:23:53unimaginable for most of us, this
00:23:56is area that is 10, 20
00:24:00times the size of Gaza that is occupied by the Israelis
00:24:04and they have been uh conducting
00:24:08uh total ethnic cleansing campaign, you don't make
00:24:12an agreement with the sinish entity and expect that they will keep to it, they
00:24:16violate every cease fire every treaty, every agreement.
00:24:20Usually before it's even come into effect,
00:24:22and of course that was the same uh in Lebanon from June
00:24:26onwards.
00:26:05One Instagram story, one
00:26:07accusation, and a 24-hour
00:26:10ultimatum. At first glance, it looked like another
00:26:14online quaral inside Iran's deeply divided
00:26:17opposition, but the people involved made it more
00:26:21significant. Reza Pahlawi, the eldest
00:26:24son of Iran's last shaw, has spent decades positioning himself as a
00:26:28prominent voice the opposition to the Islamic Republic.
00:26:33In recent years his supporters have gone further, presenting him not
00:26:36simply as an opposition, an outspoken supporter of Pahlavi and one
00:26:40the most prominent Iranian celebrities associated with the
00:26:44opposition, but this time Karimi was not
00:26:48defending Pahlavi. He was demanding
00:26:51answers from him. The dispute began after
00:26:55Iraj Mestaqi, figure associated with Pahlavi's political
00:26:59circle, questioned whether Karimi's instagram account. was
00:27:03actually being operated by Karimi himself. Karimi
00:27:06responded by addressing directly, demanding that he
00:27:10comment on the allegation and giving him 24 hours to
00:27:14respond. its own, this is little more than
00:27:18an online dispute, but there is something revealing
00:27:22about it. karimy had once been an open
00:27:25supporter of pahalavy, and earlier controversies
00:27:29his criticism, and that raises much bigger.
00:28:07For years, Pahlavi's political appeal has rested heavily on
00:28:11visibility. He is intentionally
00:28:13recognizable. His family name carries enormous
00:28:17symbolic weight among many opponents the Islamic
00:28:20Republic. He has a large social media following
00:28:24and regular access to western media. But
00:28:27increasingly his supporters have presented these assets
00:28:31as evidence of something. much bigger, the ability to
00:28:35lead Iran after the Islamic
00:28:36Republic.
00:28:42That claim requires different standard, because being
00:28:46famous is not the same as being powerful. A large social media
00:28:49following is not a political organization. A viral
00:28:53hashtag:
