00:02:09me describe the military American military situation in the region.
00:02:13we can tell that as we
00:02:16received and saw
00:02:19of on CNN that more than 17 American military
00:02:22bases either damaged or destroyed or
00:02:27of demolished, flattened and so many
00:02:31equipment been destroyed, it
00:02:34of obligates
00:02:35of united states to regroup its
00:02:37troops in the sea
00:02:41or in in Jordan, it was the straight of
00:02:45hormos and the war against Iran
00:02:48supported the
00:02:50of American still support supported by the
00:02:54GCC countries uh by money, we don't forget
00:02:575,200 billion
00:03:02a dollar or five trillion 5.2 trillion dollars been paid
00:03:06to united state in order to to be
00:03:09the
00:03:10of biggest dominator
00:03:12of the region. the Iranian are telling the countries in
00:03:16the
00:03:17of region. up
00:03:17in to now we can see your full support by
00:03:21given the bases to the american by
00:03:25letting them using your
00:03:27of
00:03:27of airspace. if you move little bit further than this, up to
00:03:31now we
00:03:32of are attacking and retaliating against the
00:03:36American bases in your country that if you move
00:03:40from supporting to participating in such war, it
00:03:43will be directly against you, it's a warning, it's
00:03:47a
00:03:48warning.
00:03:53all right, Iran's army has announced that it has shot down another advanced spy drone or
00:03:57stator hormose, according to the army, the orbitor drone. was detected, targeted
00:04:01and destroyed by Iran's indigenous air defense systems in the
00:04:04country's southeast, operating under the integrated national air defense
00:04:08network. announcement comes
00:04:10of as Iran's armed forces reported several other drone interceptions in recent
00:04:17of days. The US president says options before
00:04:21Washington against Iran are limited what he called obliterating Iran,
00:04:24letting its economy collapse or reaching
00:04:27of a deal. an interview with Fox News about on going war Donald Trump
00:04:31said he is a
00:04:32in a deciding
00:04:33a mode, adding the very big
00:04:35of things will unfold in the near future, and despite US travel warnings issued
00:04:38across
00:04:39of the region, Trump said this week is no different from any other week. He
00:04:43also said he'll probably be open to meeting with the Iranian
00:04:45president, on the sidelines
00:04:48of the UN general assembly in New
00:04:53of York. The Press TV, Zainani joined us earlier in our
00:04:56studio to give her take on recent claims by the US president.
00:05:02"if Trump has been consistent in something, it has been
00:05:05in making false claims, and the options also that
00:05:09they have presented, the three options
00:05:12is why. Iran out right the night
00:05:15before the seasfire was announced, he said that he was going to wipe out
00:05:19an entire civilization, it ended in sece fire, and then he
00:05:23is talking about another option which is to let
00:05:26Iran rot economically, well the sanctions that they have imposed
00:05:30their economic, the so-called economic dday operation, it's not something new, Iran has
00:05:34been facing sanctions for the past 47 years, Iran has not rotted
00:05:38economically, but it has indeed flourished, and by the way, none
00:05:41these... new sanctions that they have imposed on Iran, Russia
00:05:45and China rejected those outright because US credibility does not
00:05:49exist anymore, and then another one is making a deal with Iran.
00:05:53Iran has presented its options and its conditions that if you
00:05:57want to make deal, these are conditions, if you accept it then great, if you don't
00:06:01then there is not going to be deal, so this is the dual track strategy that the
00:06:05US has employed for the past several decades, it's
00:06:08not just Trump, several administrations have try the
00:06:12strategy of on the one and negotiations, but of course and
00:06:16negotiation, but of course Washington style, which is imposing
00:06:20their conditions on the other party, and if you don't, then of course they
00:06:24have the other option, which is sanctions and
00:06:27threats and pressure, but it has not worked in the past and it is
00:06:31not going to work in the future either, because Tehran has made it stance very clear in
00:06:35the past several decades that Iran does not respond
00:06:39to threats.
00:06:43senior yemeny officials reaffirmed sana's demands for sovereignty and an
00:06:47end to Saudi blockade. President of Yemen Supreme Political Council

00:06:54blockade saying the situation has reached a stage and no longer can be
00:06:58tolerated. he noted yemeny army and people have taken action to end the
00:07:02blockade warning of further escalation if their demands are not

00:07:23The Kuwait Field Hospital is one of key medical facilities serving displaced
00:07:26Palestinians with limited access to functioning healthcare in
00:07:29Alawasi, Westagan Unis. On Sunday, the hospital began
00:07:33drastically reducing its services after fuel supplies needed to
00:07:37operate, it's a generator stopped. Ahmed al najar
00:07:40reports.
00:07:45Every morning, the yards the Kuwait Field Hospital in El Mawasi are
00:07:49filled with Palestinian seeking medical care, but
00:07:52today it is empty and the makeshift clinics are
00:07:56closed, not because there are no patients, but because the hospital
00:08:00has suspended most of its services after the fuel needed to keep it operating was
00:08:04cut off under Israeli restrictions. The
00:08:07hospital has appealed for the fuel supply to be restored, warning that the
00:08:11suspension. services threatens the lives of many patients,
00:08:15we cannot provide the health services to the people
00:08:19about 2,500
00:08:22up to 300 people are receiving the services
00:08:26in the outpatient clinics in the operation room in the delivery room,
00:08:30addition to the endoscopic unit, they are they are

00:08:39under the terms the so-called seizfire, is obliged to
00:08:43facilitate the flow of humanitarian supplies to medical
00:08:46facilities, instead, it sie continues to criple care
00:08:50inside the hospital. Outside, displaced Palestinians
00:08:54incrowded almwasi continue to face Israeli bombing,
00:08:57without fuel. Ambulances here are also struggling to save
00:09:01lives.
00:09:06We face extreme challenges to keep our ambulances running. Almost every
00:09:10day we respond to emergencies. after Israeli
00:09:13strikes, fuel and supply shortages severely cripple
00:09:17our
00:09:17missions.
00:09:21the hospital says many patients are waiting for operations and other
00:09:25procedures, but as power is cut and medical devices shut
00:09:29down, even simple procedures are no longer
00:09:32available. mahmed just had a checkup and is in need of
00:09:35basic tests, but the hospital lab could no longer provide
00:09:39them,
00:09:43I just came for simple tests today, but they informed me that even the lab is out of
00:09:47service because the fuel
00:09:48crisis.
00:09:52For him and other patients, the options for medical care are only
00:09:55shrinking, as Israely violations leave the health care system on the
00:09:59verge of collapse. From simple services to critical
00:10:03care, this hospital is the first lifeline for displaced Palestinians
00:10:07here, yet like other hospitals across Gaza, it still faces
00:10:11repeated failures under. restrictions that could carry grave
00:10:14consequences.
00:10:22a protest marst. demanding the release of
00:10:26members the global summain in detention.
00:10:30Press TV's ascandanau reports from two
00:10:32news. Hundreds of
00:10:36demonstrators took the streets of central Tunis,
00:10:40calling for the release of members the global summod flotella
00:10:43activists remain in detention. The marsh began in front
00:10:47the headquarters the tinigian national syndicate of
00:10:50journalists before heading towards Habib Burgiba avenue.
00:10:54Sir. Society groups and political activists organized the
00:10:58demonstration as part the ongoing calls for the
00:11:01release the detained activists whose supporters
00:11:05say have been held in connection with their activities in
00:11:09support the
00:11:10palestinian.
00:11:19Demanding the release the members the sumut flotilla who are on hunger strike and have
00:11:23been in prison for months. This contradicts the position the
00:11:26Tunisian people.
00:11:30Organizers say today's demonstration comes as part
00:11:34of series of mobilizations seeking the release
00:11:38the activists, supporters the detaines
00:11:41maintain that there is no evidence proving their
00:11:44involvement any wrong doing related to their
00:11:48activities.
00:11:55This march is the result of continued mobilization to secure the release the
00:11:58sumed floatilla activists, especially since there is no evidence
00:12:02implicating the activists in connection with what they organized in support the
00:12:06Palestinian cause. The case has also drawn
00:12:09attention because of reports that detained
00:12:13activists have been on hunger strike for several
00:12:17days. Protesters say their demonstration is
00:12:20intended not only to demand their release, but also to
00:12:24refirm.
00:12:40We also stress that since October 7th we've continued to
00:12:44defend the Palestinian resistance, and that releasing these
00:12:48activists is
00:12:49a form of support for the
00:12:50resistance.
00:12:55in control Tunis demonstrators reiterated their
00:12:58demand for the release the detained activists,
00:13:02organizers say they intend to continue their
00:13:06mobilization until their demands are
00:13:09addressed. Protesters are gathering here in Tunis
00:13:12demanding the release of detained members the Somot
00:13:16Flotella who have reportedly been on hunger strike for
00:13:20several days organized by several civil society groups
00:13:23and political parties. This demonstration is drawing
00:13:27significant attention as participants call for their
00:13:31release. Ascandar reporting for press

00:13:39Death though from Ukraine's attack on Russia's main oil refinery and residential building in the
00:13:43Moscow region is now risen to three and strikes also left nearly
00:13:4720 people injured. Ukraine useed hundreds of drones in this attack.
00:13:51President Vladimir Zelinski says the strike targeted key Russian oil.
00:13:55facility, the site supplies more than a third of Moscow region's
00:13:58fuel. Russian officials have described this attack as the largest drone strike in
00:14:02years, both Russian and Ukraine have escalated their long-range
00:14:06attacks against each other in recent
00:14:08months.
00:14:14And toway on this earlier uh we checked in with activists and a
00:14:18commentator at in New York Mr. Don
00:14:20debar.
00:14:25"desperation is uh,
00:14:27you know, it seems that's what's going on in Kiev.
00:14:31um, the oround Zelensky there
00:14:34have been all kinds of abdications, abandonments, people running
00:14:38out, selling their story about how crazy and
00:14:42chaotic it is, and that he doesn't even speak Ukrainian
00:14:46uh very well, um, and in the capitals in
00:14:49Europe though, in Bowen, sorry, in Berlin,
00:14:53and uh, and London, and Paris in
00:14:55particular uh, they're ramping up everything
00:14:59that they can dump into Ukraine that can be fired into
00:15:03Russia, while Russia says, look, we're going to
00:15:06put a stop to this. There was the report
00:15:10of whether
00:15:11it was true or not, a warning certainly was sold as
00:15:15one where uh the rail lines, one the rail
00:15:18lines uh running between uh Poland and Ukraine that
00:15:22has been used for supplying the Ukraine. troops was
00:15:26bombed and they took out the uh the trains that run on it too,
00:15:30they're trying to get the Germans to sell them trains, but they won't
00:15:34fit the gauge of track that's uh goes into.
00:15:38um and supposedly this hit was right after uh Boris
00:15:42Johnson and a couple of other knuckle heads from uh from western
00:15:46Europe had visited Ukraine and left
00:15:49um the fact that the
00:15:53British and the Germans and the French
00:15:57are conducting about me open now a war against
00:16:00Russia means that there is a war between uh Western
00:16:04Europe and Russia.

00:18:32Denmark and Greenland say any military deal with the US will not undermine Arctic
00:18:35Island sovereignty, cop and Hagan and Nuke issued a statement in response to
00:18:39claim by the US president, the deal will give Washington permanent
00:18:43control over a Greenland security. The greenish prime
00:18:46minister in Frederick Neils says the island sovereignty and the
00:18:50island's sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as people's right to
00:18:54self-determination. Trump however described the deal as an infinite life
00:18:58with no end. He said the agreement is a dream come true for the US and
00:19:01that he did something US presidents couldn't do for 100 years.
00:19:05The deal is expected to be signed. the UN general assembly next
00:19:09week
00:19:14and a political analyst christoph horstoll join us earlier he says the claim that
00:19:17this new security deal does not undermine greenland's sovereignty or
00:19:21territorial integrity is just another US president donald trump
00:19:25lie this
00:19:29is another bunch this is another bunch of
00:19:32trump lies very typical and what
00:19:36given to now uh right now is that
00:19:40they in have the right now
00:19:44um to be the only ones to maintain a you
00:19:47foreign military presence in Greenland? that was that is
00:19:51no change, the whole problem by the way was created by Trump
00:19:55himself and now it's very
00:19:59interesting that's new, nobody else is
00:20:02allowed to get out some the
00:20:05valuable raw material. from Greenland, this is
00:20:09new in this broadness of of
00:20:12context, and what I just got to know in
00:20:16the last minute before this interview is this, there are rare
00:20:20earths in Greenland, and these where
00:20:24earths in fact are vital to the American
00:20:27ability to defend itself or to attack Iran for
00:20:31example, because all the missiles, the big missiles as they
00:20:35needed petrories and others and the attack missile. are not
00:20:39working, cannot be produced without earths and
00:20:42that means in fact Trump hopes that
00:20:46he can revive his, taking
00:20:49this right off. taking this right off
00:20:51Greenland to take everything off Greenland
00:20:55whichever he wants, especially these rare earths and that makes
00:20:59the whole contract so very much important for the Americans and
00:21:03of course it's the grossest kind of interference in
00:21:07the sovereignty of Greenland and of Denmark Denmark
00:21:11both we can just
00:21:12imagine. That's it for your
00:21:16latest on Pres TV everyone, thanks for joining us and goodbye for now.
00:23:17On June 13th, 2025, came to Dr. Ali Fuladman's
00:23:21home when Israely strike killed his wife and left the Iranian scientist
00:23:25seriously wounded. It was not the last attempt on his life. Less than
00:23:29year later, during the 20-26 war, Fuladman was
00:23:32targeted again, this time he was martered. Fuladman was not
00:23:36a politician, he was not a military commander, he was
00:23:40scientist, a senior researcher who spent years
00:23:43working on strategic technologies and national defense
00:23:47projects. He served at Iran's organization
00:23:51of defensive innovation and research, known as SPND,
00:23:54eventually becoming his head of research, his work had already
00:23:58made him a target of American pressure. On October 1st,
00:24:022025, the US treasury department sanctioned him, but
00:24:05Fulotwan's most important contribution could never be captured
00:24:09in a sanction list or an official
00:24:12title. He taught, he trained young
00:24:15researchers, shared what he had learned and helped prepare new
00:24:19generation. to work in some of Iran's most advanced fields of
00:24:23science and technology, for him, scientific power was not simply
00:24:27about what one scientists could achieve, it was about what could be
00:24:30passed on from one generation to the next, and what may
00:24:33explain why scientists like fulatvan can become
00:24:37targets, eliminating scientist may silence one voice, but
00:24:41it cannot erase the knowledge of that voice has already passed to others,
00:24:45just days after his martterdom, the prestigious journal science in its
00:24:49April 6 2026 issue reported on the growing Israeli campaign
00:24:53targeting Iranian scientists and universities. full advanced death
00:24:57had become part of a larger story, a war in which
00:25:00those capable of advancing Iran's scientific and
00:25:04technological future were themselves being targeted, but there
00:25:08is limit to what an attack can destroy a laboratory
00:25:12can be hit, a researcher can be killed. a generation can lose
00:25:16one of its teachers, but knowledge survives. it is carried by the student.
00:25:20they trained, the researchers, they inspired, and the people continue the
00:25:24work after they are gone, that was full advance other
00:25:27legacy, eliminate,
00:25:30eliminate,
00:25:48مامانم میگه اسمش همین. خلیج فارس
00:25:51بوده. ما بچه های خلیج
00:25:53فارسیم. اینجا برای ما فقط یه دریا
00:25:57نیست. هویتمونه.
00:26:01جاییه که کنارش. بازی می
00:26:03کنیم.
00:26:07روزیمونو ازش می گیریم.
00:26:11باهاش شادی می کنیم و با صداش آروم
00:26:14میشیم. جاییه که
00:26:17اجازه یزدیک شدن دشمنامونو بهش
00:26:21نمیدیم. و تا همیشه ازش محافظت می
00:26:25کنیم. خلیج فارس ما انگار یه کتاب
00:26:29تاریخه. هر کدوم از موجاش قصه.
00:26:38خلیج فارس برای همه ما
00:26:41ایرانیاست.
00:27:11never really
00:27:12and know we'll how many people are dead, they drop bombs on innocent girls while they sleep
00:27:16in their bed, Israel is a terror state, the terroris that
00:27:19terror, how many
00:27:23more resolutions have to be violated, how many more children have
00:27:26to be annihilated, this is not a war,
00:27:29it is systematic genocide, but whatever they try.
00:27:46Hello, I'm Chris Williamson and this is Palestine declassified, but we
00:27:50focus on the international struggle to liberate Palestine and expose
00:27:54Israel's efforts to manipulate the political class and corporate
00:27:57media. In today's show we'll be asking who or what was
00:28:01behind the controversial. letter that was published by the Guardian last month
00:28:05and signed by range of previously prominent anti-imperialists.
00:28:09They claimed they wanted to express solidarity with what they described as
00:28:12political prisoners in Iran, but it was more like attempt to
00:28:16manufacture consent for the war being waged on Iran by the US and
00:28:20Israel, which is one the reasons why it's provoked such
00:28:23intense backlash from the anti-imperialist movements and progressive media
00:28:27outlets alike, resulting in some the original signatures
00:28:31withdrawing their names. as this report will
00:28:33explain to Iran's political
00:28:37prisoners trapped between two blades of a scissors, that was the
00:28:41headline of a controversial open letter published in the Guardian
00:28:44newspaper on the 20th of August
00:28:472026. It was signed by 24 widely
00:28:50known leftists and liberal figures. They included Angela
00:28:54Davis, famous for her involvement in black power in the
00:28:571960s, number of leftist academics in the US,
00:29:01Canada, the... in France, as well as the UK barrister Michael
00:29:05Mansfield and the US political prisoner, Mamuah
00:29:08Abujamal. There was quick and determined backlash from
00:29:12supporters the Palestinians and
00:29:14anti-imperialist. The primary rebuttle
00:29:18following the publication the Blades of a scissors letter, was a
00:29:22widely circulated counter letter authored by Indian
00:29:26historian and socialist VJ Prashad, on behalf the
00:29:30International People's assembly, the IPA. It was titled
00:29:33against the fall symmetry the scissors, an open letter
00:29:37while Iran resists an illegal war of aggression. The
00:29:41response was sufficiently intense to cause six signataries to
00:29:45withdraw their names. There was some question about the
00:29:48signature of Mamia Abu Jamal, the most high profile actual
00:29:52political prisoner on the list, message later surface
00:29:56showing him expressing explicit support of Iran's resistance
00:30:00against western forces. However, Abu Jamal, along with
00:30:03others like Walden Bellow, subsequently clarified their
00:30:07positions and defended their decision to keep their signatures on the
00:30:11document. A flavor the letter can be gleaned
00:30:14from some exerps. The letter opens as follow:
00:30:18August marks the anniversary the 1988 mass executions in
00:30:22Iran, a horror that echoes in the country's current surge in death
00:30:26sentences. What were the 1988 mass
00:30:30executions? Were they, as letter implies, left
00:30:34his political prisoners executed by cruel and vengeful
00:30:37regime. In fact, the executions were largely of
00:30:41members the Kultish Terror group, the Mujahadin.
