00:01:20sanctions imposed on the Islamic Republic saying that such
00:01:27of of unilateral measures amount economic
00:01:28of
00:01:28of terrorism.
00:01:32Unilateral cohersive measures continue to be used as as
00:01:35instruments of political pressure against developing
00:01:39countries. Iran has faced such measures for decades
00:01:42and they have
00:01:44of intensified of in recent years and months. US sanctions
00:01:48directly affect the daily lives of our people by
00:01:50restricting trade, finance,
00:01:54medicines, technology, education and
00:01:57of scientific cooperation. From our perspective, their
00:02:00devastating impact on
00:02:02of ordinary people amounts economic terrorism. the United
00:02:06of Nations must oppose such coerssive measures and call for
00:02:10their complete and unconditional
00:02:13removal. Abbas

00:02:18of remarks a UN meeting on China's global development initiative. He

00:02:35of Minab, a sports hall in Lamed and the medical research
00:02:39a pastor institute in Tehran saying these facilities for
00:02:42education, sports and medicine were reduced to rubble. He
00:02:46says such attacks
00:02:47of expose the inhumane nature
00:02:49of the US aggression and must never be normalized or
00:02:52whitewashed. Iran. The Iranian foreign minister said over
00:02:56500 people, including women and children were killed. the
00:03:00US-Israeli aggressions. Iraq she said the
00:03:03of assassination
00:03:03of the leader
00:03:04of the Islamic Revolution and Iran's senior political and military
00:03:07officials was heinous crime and a flagrant violation of
00:03:11international law.
00:03:14of Unilateral coercive measures continue to be used as as
00:03:17instruments of political pressure
00:03:20a against developing
00:03:20countries.
00:03:39Welcome back dear viewers and to the news review section where we'l delve
00:03:42deeper into one
00:03:43of the day's top stories so stay with
00:03:46us. The spokesman for Iran's
00:03:50armed forces says Americans will never be allowed to play any role
00:03:54in the management
00:03:54of the straight of Urmus. Brigadier general Abdul Faz Shikarchi
00:03:58said if Americans try to interfere in Hurmu's affairs, they will be
00:04:02slapped hard in the face by the Iranian
00:04:04of armed forces. Shikachi made the remarks
00:04:09of in a televised interview. He said Americans have no choice but to leave West
00:04:12Asia and the sooner they leave, they will set, they will
00:04:16suffer less damage. Shikachi noted that the region will
00:04:20be certainly safer following the US's withdrawal. He
00:04:23said the US will never reclaim his past position in the new world
00:04:27order and the Islamic
00:04:29a Republic as a world power will not allow this. the
00:04:33general stressed that the hormo states is in full control of Iran
00:04:36of and any ship trying to transit the waterway through route not
00:04:40authorized by Iran will not be safe.
00:04:44Shikarchi noted
00:04:45of that in case of any new aggression against Ivan, the country's forces
00:04:48will respond with new
00:04:50of military of technologies. He stress that the Iranian armed forces
00:04:54are in very good shape. The country has more advanced missiles,
00:04:58drones and military technology. And his enemies will face
00:05:02new surprises in case of a possible
00:05:05aggression.
00:05:10of of Now to talk more on
00:05:14this, we have Miss Sakina Dato, journalist and author
00:05:18and producer joining us and also Mr. Said Morson our
00:05:22boss, journalist and political commentator, both them joining us from
00:05:25London, Miss Datu and Mr. Said
00:05:29that boss, thank you for being with us once again on Press TV, uh
00:05:33Miss Datu, let's begin with you and let's for this section dissect
00:05:37the comments made by the brigadier general
00:05:40Shikarchi, Miss Datu, we said American... have no choice but to
00:05:43leave West Asia and the sooner they leave, the less damage they will
00:05:47suffer. US assessment so far in the three wars, the 12-day
00:05:51war, the 40-day war and the 13 or
00:05:5514-day war. how do you see Iran
00:05:58respond to the US Israeli aggression and do you think
00:06:02they've learn a lesson? so I definitely
00:06:06think that you know Iran has destroyed all these
00:06:09bases the US and Iran has dealt them
00:06:13a huge blow, not just the US and the Israelis
00:06:17but also the neighboring countries that you know
00:06:21allowed their land to be used, allowed the air bases and you
00:06:25know their territory to be used to attack Iran, so Iran
00:06:29responded very, very sharply and it has managed to
00:06:33destroy quite significantly all these
00:06:35airbases the US, not just that,
00:06:39but Iran's response in terms the straight of formers has... been
00:06:42very efficient and they have managed to
00:06:46stop not just
00:06:48you know the ships passing but control alongside of
00:06:52course you know it they do not dictate what
00:06:55happens by ansarulah but these are exes of
00:06:59resistance who work together and collaborate together and
00:07:03so I think bringing the whole exes of tog of access of
00:07:07resistance together what they have managed to do is teach Americans
00:07:10a lesson and show the world that they have control
00:07:14the waterways and they also have the control because of that
00:07:18the world economy and so if
00:07:21you know the US and Israel is continue to target
00:07:25Iran that Iran has got not only these economic
00:07:28measures through which they can bring the whole world economy
00:07:32down but that on military basis Iran is very advanced
00:07:36country which before these wars nobody was aware of Iran's
00:07:40you know military capability. Apart from that, of course it
00:07:44has proven that there is also unity at home, there is
00:07:47acceptance the government and legitimacy, and people are
00:07:51together like never before, all the propaganda we used to hear
00:07:54about the fact that Iranians did not support their
00:07:58government, this is all been thrown out the window, and so the
00:08:02all the reasons you know that are there for any country to win a war,
00:08:06Iran has proven that to be the case, but having said that,
00:08:09you know, I don't believe that it is nothing that is going to
00:08:13stop here, don't believe that they have learned their lessons as you ask,
00:08:17because I don't believe that this is the end of war. I do think that
00:08:21when we combine what is happening in west asia alongside
00:08:25what is happening in Ukraine, because I personally believe that these two
00:08:29wars are linked, they are not separate, they are together. I
00:08:32actually feel like we are heading towards World War 3
00:08:36and all the elements are aligning. If you look at historical
00:08:40examples of things leading up to... world war ii, they are very
00:08:44frightening examples of how things are coming together
00:08:48for yet another global war, so yes, I do think that
00:08:51Iran has responded very strongly and shown its might,
00:08:55but I don't think that the zionis and Americans have learned their
00:08:59lesson and because they are interested in perpetuating war,
00:09:03and I fear that we are heading towards you know
00:09:07at some point much bigger war. that's right,
00:09:10Miss Datu, and as general Shikachi said uh, maybe
00:09:14another slap this time around, huh? Mr. Said
00:09:18Abbas, general Shikarjin noted that the region will be
00:09:22certainly safer uh following the US's
00:09:25withdrawal uh, but as uh we were told or
00:09:29we are told by the US, by Trump, by Israel, by
00:09:33Netanyahu, the west in general, they are here for our
00:09:36safety, for our future, prosperity, bringing us
00:09:40humanity and democracy. your thoughts on
00:09:43them? well, it's
00:09:46commonly passing you isn't say? it? the
00:09:49can statements what i was listening to the UN, the american delegation and even
00:09:52trump of course, it doesn't even listening
00:09:56to any intelligent, decent geopolitical
00:10:00analyst, even even young child who follows this sort
00:10:03of affair in west Asia knows what realities,
00:10:07everybody knows the US
00:10:11and... agenda in the region, they
00:10:15have been confidence with
00:10:19the military spotsman is is expressing
00:10:22his about. this is now
00:10:26born out by
00:10:27evidence
00:10:33saying
00:10:50that the
00:10:51americans
00:10:58uh sorry said Abbas, sorry to go you sure, I think we got problems
00:11:01with the sound, if you can just fix it, I'll go to
00:11:05Miss Datu and come back to you again, sorry for that uh, Mr. Abpos, uh,
00:11:09Miss Datu, uh, the general also mentioned that
00:11:13the US will never uh reclaim his past position in the new
00:11:17world order uh, and that the Islamic Republic
00:11:21uh, as a world power will
00:11:23not allow this, so uh, the question... would be, are we seeing a
00:11:26shift in power? this decline in US
00:11:30Hegemmany, and what about re Iran a regional
00:11:33power for sure, but what about a world power, and how do you
00:11:37define that? i think it is
00:11:41fact that the western hegemony in
00:11:44you know west Asian region, the American hegemony is over.
00:11:48there is no way that they would now be able to operate from
00:11:51those regions even if they wanted to, because
00:11:55"first of all Iran can very easily repeat what it did and
00:11:59in fact you know there
00:12:00is I believe lot more advanced
00:12:03you know missiles and military capability that Iran
00:12:07has not yet shown its hand so I think they will
00:12:11not Iran at this stage I don't believe will ever allow this
00:12:15basis to operate again in west Asian region because they have
00:12:19proven to be a threat you know to the national
00:12:22security also the because" straight of hormos is is
00:12:26closed and I think this we are hearing of course lot of
00:12:29propaganda in western media about how the Americans are controlling
00:12:33the straight of hormos and that
00:12:35you know the oil is passing, it is Iran that is not able to, which is
00:12:39completely not true as we speak, you know I'm just seeing that there are
00:12:43some more attacks currently that Iran has hit some more ships
00:12:47you know on the straight of homo so if there was
00:12:49a control you know there wouldn't be all this
00:12:52price heights that we are seeing here. in Europe and like the rest the
00:12:56world is seeing the increase in the prices of oil, so
00:13:00because they will not be able to ship in all the
00:13:03ammunitions, there is no way that Iran will allow that, so the
00:13:07the hegemony of Americans on that basis first of all is
00:13:11over, but also even though
00:13:13you know these gulf countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
00:13:17Emirates, at the moment they are not able to detach themselves from the
00:13:21US, and
00:13:23you know
00:13:23there is frustration from lot of people. because it looks like you know they
00:13:27are complicit and they continue to be complicit, but there are
00:13:31a lot of talks going on in the background,
00:13:35because these countries have come to realize that this false promise
00:13:39of America protecting them, you know it is nothing but that, it's
00:13:43just false, and so they are also rethink on those
00:13:46manners, if you look at Qatar
00:13:48for example, not that you know what Qatar says is something that we take at first
00:13:52value, but the tit and tat between... them you know in in what happened
00:13:56at the UN assembly and what they were saying about the zionist
00:14:00entity, this also shows you that these countries are not exactly the
00:14:04same as they were before the war and at some point you know
00:14:07they are going to find a way out to detect
00:14:11themselves from the US that that's my belief it may not happen very
00:14:15you know quickly but eventually this is what is going to happen also
00:14:19I think you know the local populations in all these
00:14:21countries it it it will take a bit more to
00:14:25push them out, but I do again see that in some point there will
00:14:29be uprisings in this nations, and and people want
00:14:33peace and they see Iran as a neighbor with whom they can
00:14:37have peace, because Iran has never invaded any country, it has never
00:14:41threaten them, but even while this war is going on, it we have been
00:14:45getting very clear messages time and again,
00:14:47you know Iranian officials saying that their fight is not with the
00:14:51neighboring muslim and neighboring
00:14:53you know countries, that their fight is with Zionis
00:14:57and with with Americans also the the
00:15:00major problem in the region remains the Zionist entity and it is
00:15:04threatening Turkey, it's threatening Lebanon, Saudi, everybody, you
00:15:08know, and so all these nations are also seeing the
00:15:12bigger ambitions the greater Israel and that all
00:15:15them will be subjected to the same principle, so it is in their
00:15:19interest to have better relationships with Iran rather than with the
00:15:23US and Zionis, but It's also true that they cannot detach so
00:15:27quickly because of so many years of cooperation, it is not possible and
00:15:31also these monarchies,
00:15:32you know these heads the monarchies that are sitting there, these are part the
00:15:36abstent class, these are part. the same group of
00:15:39oligarks, but they can be removed, at some point people
00:15:42will rise and they will remove them or alternatively may they
00:15:46may come to their senses and want to work with Iran, so I do think that the
00:15:50hegemony the US in west Asia is quite
00:15:54over. That's right, some important points there as
00:15:57well, uh, Mr. Abbass, glad we could have you back again,
00:16:01Mr. Abbas, we don't have much time, but uh, for you,
00:16:04it's okay, uh, first of all, it it
00:16:08seems like everyone's a target with Israel, mean from
00:16:12Turkey, Lebanon, uh, all the countries around, even
00:16:15Egypt uh, they should know that, and also I don't understand why
00:16:19these arab countries, these Muslim countries, these regional countries,
00:16:23personal gulf countries haven't realized that uh,
00:16:26the US will never stand up for them,
00:16:30unless it's worth it
00:16:32for them, there's g to be some money, some oil, something in it
00:16:34for them, uh, and they still extend their hands to the... us they're not learning
00:16:38their lesson, that's one the things that I wanted to ask you about why are the
00:16:42puppet regimes, these khalifas and especially
00:16:46MBS, Saudi
00:16:48Arabia, the the the war planes that they
00:16:52have the stuck with Yemen, a country that was
00:16:55besieged for 10 years, more than 10 years, they still can't do anything
00:16:59about it and the US is not helping
00:17:01them, well we have to understand the
00:17:04origins these regimes is basically one
00:17:08of slavery, they owe their existence to
00:17:12the british zio american empires, they
00:17:15wouldn't be here if that wasn't the case, so every one the leaders
00:17:19who's tied to the apron strings the Americans and the
00:17:22Israelis is behoven to them, the
00:17:26their extraction of oil or they can't
00:17:29do that on their own, who do we think actually comes and extracts all this oil, it's
00:17:33American companies, it's western companies, who provides them with their...
00:17:37security who provides them with their military so callalled
00:17:40military you defense mechanisms, everything is not only
00:17:44supplied but very lightly controlled by the
00:17:48anglo-zionist empire, they literally have outsourced everything, so
00:17:52therefore even the
00:17:54the the govern governance the country behind the scenes is the deep state
00:17:58intelligence services who work with whoever they put in
00:18:02charge there and lot them are their own people who will be there in the background
00:18:05so to be fair they're basically client public states, and so the leaderships
00:18:09have got no interest in divorcing
00:18:13themselves from what is obviously going to sink them. the people is
00:18:16different story, the people are gradually waking up, i think to the
00:18:20reality that they are led by by these puppets,
00:18:24what will make them change? i think it's the reality on the ground, the the
00:18:28the war that Iran is is conducting
00:18:31has shown them that their asymmetric power is not going to go
00:18:35away, it's shown them that their... resistance economy works in
00:18:39spite of all the sanctions and contrary
00:18:43to what the the arabs do, siven off all their money into real
00:18:47estate in America or into Swiss bank accounts which will get gumped one
00:18:50day as soon as one these these sultons
00:18:54or or kings dies, that's it, that money just get gazum, same
00:18:58thing happened to Gaddafi, they put their money in those banks and the real estate, and when
00:19:02these regimes are are finished by the Americans, all of that
00:19:06cash, all that countries. cash which has been stuck stopped away in western
00:19:10uh
00:19:10you know bank bank vaults is confiscated, so this is exactly
00:19:14what's going to happen to them, but they can can't do anything about it. Iran is
00:19:18shown that they you can create decentralized mosaic defense structure
00:19:22and they can't destroy you by just taking out leader as they did with Gaddafi
00:19:26and as they did with Assad. If you have the right uh defense
00:19:29mechanisms you can resist that. And if you have a strong military and
00:19:33Iran still in spike of two efforts by the Zionist empire.
00:19:37"they've managed to still retain at least, I'd say
00:19:41two-thirds the air force, that's conservative estimates from outside
00:19:44Iran, they're saying that two thirds the air force is intact, this is
00:19:48so coming from them, that's a major amount really,
00:19:512,500 ballistic missiles is their estimate that are there, which is up
00:19:55from the 1300 which are there in the mid-20s, and of course the
00:19:59most missile drone capacity is huge, there's
00:20:03like thousands of those lying around underground in bunkers."
00:20:07that can't be touched by the Americans, Iran's
00:20:11you know minuscule 7.8 billion dollar
00:20:14military has managed to destroy a a trillion
00:20:18a multi- trillion dollar military which has been
00:20:22rendered pretty much ineffective and that I think should be a lesson to
00:20:26these these regimes that actually in the long run they can't be
00:20:29sustained, but it's not the regimes that need to change change
00:20:33things, they're not going to, it's the people on the ground whether the Arab world.
00:20:38begins to wake up, recapture its dignity, look at Iran as a model, as an
00:20:42example of resistance, and look at the yemensar as resistance
00:20:45models and look at the lebanese resistance model and then
00:20:50recognize that actually their dignity lies in regional security, in
00:20:54allying with Iran, in in backing up their
00:20:57own, the their own
00:21:00real uh representatives and to boot out these these
00:21:04puppets, that's the only way forward, there has to be recognition
00:21:08on the ground, and in the long run, Iran's war of attrition, the
00:21:11strategic patience and the attrition that they're capable of fighting, will defeat the
00:21:15Americans in the region anyway, because Iran has an
00:21:18existential. survival situation, the Americans don't, the
00:21:22Iran knows it has to fight to the last man in order
00:21:26to maintain its sovereignty, and the Iranian people have recognized that, and even those
00:21:30were maybe a bit weak within the Iranian establishment, they've had to
00:21:34uh go quiet and they have seat to the people's desire for
00:21:38revenge, the desire for sovereignty, the desire
00:21:40for that's right, they got
00:21:44to get the dignity and sovereignty back because it's not going to work like
00:21:47this, Mr. Said Abbass uh... I will have to ask you about
00:21:51the anglo-zionis later on, we don't have enough time now, but when we get
00:21:55the chance I will ask you because I want to see what where the UK is in all of this
00:21:59because I think it's a major player in all of this and as Miss Datu said and
00:22:03even uh we could see World War II and it's for the benefit the
00:22:07UK and the US. On that note I would like to thank Miss
