00:01:49when people after hearing the news
00:01:51of the murderdom
00:01:52of the leader
00:01:53of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei
00:01:56and the start
00:01:57of the U.S. Israeli military attack on would take to the
00:02:01streets to mourn, express their anger and stand
00:02:04beside the armed forces,
00:02:08but the first night ended and people did not go
00:02:11home. then came the second night,
00:02:15of then the third, days passed, and one
00:02:18night followed another, under the sound of
00:02:22sirens, under the thread of air strikes in the middle of a war, and
00:02:26while many expected the pressure
00:02:28of the conflict empty... Iran streets, something else
00:02:32happened, the streets did not
00:02:34empty, people picked up the Iranian flag
00:02:38and came out again and again and
00:02:41again. In some cities they stayed until
00:02:45midnight and sometimes until dawn. The
00:02:4840th
00:02:49a night passed, then the 60th, the
00:02:5380th, the 100th. Ramadan ended and
00:02:57Muharram arrived, and this time. people brought their
00:03:00muharram morning ceremonies into the streets as
00:03:03well. now more than 200 nights have
00:03:07passed. for more than 200 nights after
00:03:11darkness falls, people across Iran have
00:03:13of once again taken to the
00:03:15streets.
00:03:46These gatherings have taken place at more than 4,000 locations
00:03:49across the country. In Tehran alone, more than
00:03:53130 locations have witnessed
00:03:55of these of gatherings. More than 56%
00:03:58of the country's population. have taken part in them at least
00:04:01once.
00:04:09But these numbers tell only part
00:04:11of the story. What matters even more is that they have
00:04:15continued. Thousands of
00:04:20of of of people gathering in the streets a single night could be explained as
00:04:23of a reaction to a particular event. But when the same thing happens night after night, it
00:04:27becomes part of society's social behavior.

00:06:43and even everyday life, people have spent the
00:06:47nights of qadr in the streets, murders have been carried through the
00:06:50streets and funeral processions, gader
00:06:54celebrations have been held there, people have taken to the
00:06:58streets to celebrate the national football team's matches in the world
00:07:01cup, people have cried, laughed and in some
00:07:05places even held
00:07:06weddings.
00:09:14It's 11 p.m. and we're here in Tehran's northern Tajrish
00:09:18district among the people who have made a commitment, they will not
00:09:22leave the streets until their leader tells them
00:09:25to.
00:09:29In the first days the war, their presence was easier to
00:09:32explain: people were grieving, their leader had been murdered and
00:09:36the country was under attack. People came to the streets to mourn
00:09:40and show solidarity. but very soon another
00:09:44element became part the story, the feeling that
00:09:47Iran itself was under
00:09:49attack.
00:09:53we had a chance to have a brief chat with one the people involved in
00:09:57the gathering since night
00:09:58one,
00:10:01مسسین امیدی. مردم ایران ابتدا
00:10:05پس
00:10:06از شنیدن news the leader the islamic revolutions, the Iranian
00:10:10people left their homes around six or... in the morning and headed
00:10:14to the main squares and cities across the country. At first we
00:10:17saw scenes of grief, sorrow and tears, but these soon
00:10:21turned into scenes the nation's strength and grandure. people took to
00:10:25the streets to avenge the blood their leader and confront the American
00:10:29Zionist enemy, even on occasions such as Rutz Day
00:10:33rallies, when areas around these gatherings were bombed,
00:10:37the people stood their ground without any
00:10:39fear. For part of
00:10:43society, the war was no longer simply a confrontation between a
00:10:46government and foreign enemy, it became a threat to the
00:10:50country's independence, territorial integrity and national
00:10:54existence. and under such
00:10:57circumstances, even people who may disagree with some domestic
00:11:01policies the Islamic Republic can choose to stand with the
00:11:04country and its national
00:11:06sovereignty. Iranian society
00:11:10cannot simply be divided into two completely separate
00:11:13groups: supporters the system and opponents the
00:11:16system. the experience of war has shown that people's
00:11:20political identities can be people's political identities
00:11:23can be.
00:11:55توی این مدت جنگ که تمام دنیا دارن
00:11:58برای پیروزی و برد ایران دعا می کنن به خاطر
00:12:02اینکه ایران و این پرچم تنها پرچمیه که

00:13:02مینا برای بچه های لامرد واقعا برای همشون روزی نیست که
00:13:06من اگر اخباری از اینا تکرار بشه گریه
00:13:09نکنم.
00:13:55What you see here today are all Iranians and
00:13:58Muslims, this unity is completely natural, there is no
00:14:02contradiction in it. I see women who
00:14:05waar the hijab and women who do not, people with
00:14:09different appearances, but we are all Iranians
00:14:13and we love our country, love our
00:14:16country.
00:14:20The war has for part of society placed internal
00:14:24question. when Iran is under attack, what should
00:14:27come first? And their answer has been to take
00:14:31to the
00:14:32streets.
00:14:36But this presence is not simply a political reaction. If that
00:14:40were the case, then the streets probably would have become quieter
00:14:44once the first phase the war ended and the Islamabad
00:14:48Mou was signed, but that did not
00:14:50happen. One
00:14:54of... the most important features of this phenomenon is precisely
00:14:58this transformation. what began as emergency
00:15:02response has become a lasting social
00:15:05pattern. in wartime, empty streets are often a
00:15:08sign of society under psychological
00:15:11pressure. people stop going outside,
00:15:15businesses are disrupted, everyday life
00:15:18retreats. fear takes over public
00:15:21space, but in Iran something different.
00:15:26public space remained in people's hands, gatherings
00:15:30continued, human chains were
00:15:32formed, religious ceremonies went
00:15:35on, and despite the...
00:16:18From this perspective, people's presence in the streets is not only a political message to the
00:16:22outside world, it is also psychological message to
00:16:26society itself, message that the war has
00:16:30not been able to stop social life, that people
00:16:34can still come together. This can also... strength and
00:16:38social resilience. when a person faces the
00:16:41pressure of war, reports of attacks and uncertainty about the
00:16:45future alone a sense of helplessness can
00:16:48grow. but when that same person stands in square
00:16:52among hundreds or thousands of others, the experience
00:16:55changes. they are no longer simply an individual
00:16:59facing a crisis, they become.
00:17:03من بزرگترین و عجیب غریب ترین صحنه هایی که.
00:17:37countless innocent victims and immeasurable human suffering and the
00:17:41war against Iran is no exception. Beyond the headlines and
00:17:44geopolitical calculations are personal tragedies that
00:17:48rarely appear in world's major news reports. This is
00:17:52one them.
00:17:56For Nargias going to work that morning was a choice. She knew
00:18:00the place was dangerous, her family knew it too, but there was work
00:18:04left unfinished and Nargis did not want to walk away.
00:18:08Nargiz Haji Molla Haydar was born in 1999, talented
00:18:11computer engineering graduate and a high achieving student at the
00:18:15University of Tehran. She had built her life around learning,
00:18:19discipline and service. She was also a karate athlete for two
00:18:22years, she trained seriously and eventually won a gold medal and committee
00:18:26and silver medal in Qatar a national competition. After
00:18:30returning from the arbane pilgrimage, nargas set herself another
00:18:34goal, master's degree in network technology. She studied. for five
00:18:38months with determination and face and was eventually admitted to
00:18:42a state university with a high rank. then came new
00:18:45job in the cyber security field where her technical skills
00:18:49could be put to use. one the projects she was working on was
00:18:53national university project aimed at strengthening the
00:18:56resilience of Tehran's water network.
00:19:00but then or came, the family learned that the country had come under
00:19:04attacked. relatives warn Nargas that her workplace could... be a target
00:19:08and urged her not to go back, narguez refused, she told
00:19:12them she could not bear the thought of leaving her work
00:19:14unfinished. the night before her death she
00:19:18said something that her mother would never forget. mom,
00:19:22forgive me if you don't see me again. the following
00:19:25morning, some colleagues decided not to come to work because
00:19:29the danger, nargez chose differently. before leaving home, her mother
00:19:33asked her to stay away for just two days. now smiled and repl.
00:19:38"we cannot stand by and leave our country alone, it needs
00:19:41people who are not afraid." A few hours later,
00:19:45at around 2:30 p.m. on March 2nd, 2026, to a missile
00:19:49strucker workplace on Tehran pass, eastern Tehran. Nargas was killed
00:19:52alongside several of her colleagues. Her
00:19:56father spent hours searching for her body, for days the family did not know
00:20:00which the recovered bodies was their daughter. Finally, DNA
00:20:04Testing identified her remains, now I guess was only 26.
00:20:07young woman who had wanted to study, to compete, to build a
00:20:11career and to finish the work she had started. for her family, the
00:20:15last words she spoke before leaving home would become something
00:20:19much more than farewell. they would become the final words of
00:20:22daughter who knew the danger and went away
00:20:25anyways.
00:20:29there is another dimension to these streets and that is their relationship
00:20:33with the armed forces. during the war, people did not come out.
00:20:37only to mourn, they also wanted to tell that they were not
00:20:41alone, that they were not
00:20:43alone,
00:20:47a time when Iran's armed forces were facing major military
00:20:51power, the presence of people in the streets could be seen as a sign of
00:20:54social support for the resistance. this was where the
00:20:58slogan the streets with us, the battlefield with you
00:21:01emerged. only days after the war
00:21:05began, brigadier general Sayyad Majid Musawi, commander
00:21:09the IRGC aerospace force sent a message to the Iranian
00:21:13people, keep the streets, we have the
00:21:15battlefield.
00:21:50not limited to military warfare, the streets are also part of
00:21:54another battlefield, the cognitive war. in
00:21:58modern conflicts, missiles and aircrafts are not the only
00:22:01things that matter. the image of society, the morale of
00:22:05its people, public perceptions, and how united or
00:22:09vulnerable a country appears can also be
00:22:12decisive.
00:22:17we also talked with Mr. Muhammad Ofshore. another person engaged in the
00:22:21night gatherings since the very
00:22:23beginning
00:22:28the streets starting right here, the streets starting right here
00:22:32at enqalab square was ayatullah khamenei's
00:22:35martterdom, at first the main motivation was to avenge the blood
00:22:39of our marted leader, the injustice tone to him
00:22:42strengthened our motivation even further, but as time went
00:22:46on, people no longer saw their presence simply as an act of.
00:22:50they side as standing alongside our military forces who are
00:22:54fighting the
00:22:55enemy. from this
00:22:59perspective, the continued presence of people in the streets can become a
00:23:03message. society has not fallen
00:23:06apart. the streets are not controlled by the crisis
00:23:10and Iran story is not being shipped only
00:23:14by foreign media or social media platforms outside the
00:23:17country. people that... themselves can create their
00:23:21own narrative in public spaces, but
00:23:25why should this presence continue? the answer is
00:23:29simple: the war did not end when the bombing
00:23:32stopped. the security thread may have changed its
00:23:36form. negotiations may have begun, a cease
00:23:40fire may have been reached, but questions of trust,
00:23:44deterrents, support for the armed forces, seeking justice for the
00:23:48murders and preserving national...
00:24:08we are now showing the word what it means to stand firm. this
00:24:12resilience comes from our faith and convictions and
00:24:16it gives us the strength to move forward through difficult times.
00:24:23Even after the immediate threat of attacks and cities has declined,
00:24:27concerns remain about attempts to create insecurity and exploit
00:24:30internal divisions. At the same time, as
00:24:34negotiations have begun and military action has become more limit
00:24:38action has become more limited, people's presence in the
00:24:41street support. That is the idea that resistance and the defense
00:24:45the country's rights are not simply military or government
00:24:49decisions. For a large part of society, they are a
00:24:53public demand. Perhaps that is why these 200
00:24:57nights should not be measured only by the number of people who have taken
00:25:00part, they should be understood as a collective
00:25:03experience. An experience of people who in the middle
00:25:07the war did not leave the streets, people who
00:25:11connected Ramadan with Muharram, people who brought morning
00:25:15together with everyday life and support for the armed forces together
00:25:19with
00:25:19the defense. of Iran, people who may disagree on
00:25:23many issues, but who at this moment have chosen to define
00:25:27themselves under one flag, the flag of
00:25:30Iran.
00:25:36more than 200 nights have passed, that means more than
00:25:39200 times darkness has fallen and the people have decided
00:25:43to leave their homes. For more than 200
00:25:46nights, Iran streets have witnessed the people who...
00:25:50go here,
00:25:56go here, perhaps history will one day understand these nights better than
00:26:00we can today. Perhaps much more will be written
00:26:04about why this presence emerged, who took part in it and what
00:26:08impact it had on Iranian
00:26:10society.
00:26:18Iran. Of course, in Egypt during the Islamic awakening,
00:26:22people also took to the streets and said they would not
00:26:25leave until they achieve results, but for people to come
00:26:29out like this during the war, defend them. country and
00:26:33stand that country and stand that ground is truly
00:26:37accep and Iranian missile is launched, the sirens go off
00:26:41and people head to shelters, here when the sirens go
00:26:45off, people go up to their roof tops to
00:26:49watch, but the
00:26:53people themselves have already given their answer,
00:26:57they have spent more than 200 nights in the streets and
00:27:00if necessary they... they will stay for another
00:27:04200, even for year, for two
00:27:07years, and if Iran is at stake, perhaps for as long
00:27:11as it takes, because for them, this is no longer
00:27:15simply nightly gathering, it is not a social
00:27:18habit, it is not a ceremonial
00:27:21program, it is a declaration of
00:27:24presence, a declaration by people who say that
00:27:28whenever Iran needs them, they will not leave its streets and
00:27:36That's all for today, thank you for watching from the whole team, please do join
00:27:40us again same times next week to see what else is on, until next
00:27:44time, take
00:27:45care,
00:28:04Saudi Arabia thought it could bypass hormos, it thought its
00:28:08pipelines, its American weapons and its strategic partnerships could keep
00:28:12the oil flowing and the kingdom insulated from the consequences of
00:28:16regional war, but that carefully constructed illusion is now
00:28:20cracking. This week we examine how strikes have forced the shutdown
00:28:24of Riyadh's crucial east-west pipeline, while Yemen's armed
00:28:27forces and Nasarulah are rapidly reshaping the strategic
00:28:31equation. KSA's oil
00:28:35bypass backfires this week on the media
00:28:38stream.
00:30:10Headlines on Press TV, Iran's top security official says the only
00:30:14way for the US to end the war is to get out of this
00:30:17predicament by accepting Iran's seven
00:30:19condition. Yemen warned
00:30:23Saudi Arabia that any escalation against the country will be met
00:30:27with a stronger response and increases the price that Riyad has to
00:30:30pay.
