00:00:00Press TV Iran secretary chief warns that American assets,
00:00:03including key data and AI centers will be struck if the US
00:00:07wages
00:00:08of of another war. Despite earlier denials, the
00:00:12Pentagon admits that the number of troops killed in the aggression against
00:00:15Iran is higher than previously reported with nearly 900
00:00:19entries. And finally, Trump and
00:00:23Zelinski trade barbs over the announced diesel deal with Russia, with the
00:00:27US president saying Ukraine needs a new leader.
00:00:38of of
00:00:45Hello
00:00:45in and welcome everyone, you're watching Press TV world news, let's go ahead and get started with the
00:00:49stories that matter. Iran's top
00:00:53security official says the US has suffered defeats after defeats
00:00:57against Iran, and that's why Washington has to...
00:01:00turn to economic
00:01:01of war against the country. In an exclusive interview with Press TV,
00:01:05major general Mohsin Rai said the US has failed even
00:01:09to end the war. The secretary
00:01:11of the Supreme National Security Council said, an end is in the
00:01:15hands of Iran, and they will not stop their resistance until they gets what
00:01:19is rightfully theirs. Razi added that the US is the
00:01:23root
00:01:23of the problem concerning the straight of Hormus. The general said Iran
00:01:27seeks management
00:01:28of the straight to ensure. regional security, especially in the Persian
00:01:32Gulf. It is that he also warned that
00:01:34of American of assets,
00:01:35of
00:01:35of including key data and AI centers, key data and AI
00:01:39centers will be struck if the US wages another act of
00:01:43aggression against Iran. You can view the full interview on Press
00:01:46TV in the coming up.
00:01:49of Well, despite earlier denials, the US War department has admitted that the
00:01:53number of troops who have died in the aggression against
00:01:57of Iran is higher than previously reported. According to the Washington
00:02:01Post, the
00:02:01a Pentagon in its latest report
00:02:03of has raised the official death tool of US
00:02:06a troops a linked to military aggression against Iran to 21,
00:02:09acknowledging that two additional deaths had not previously been
00:02:13included in its figures. The newly included deaths are an
00:02:17army major who
00:02:18of died in Kuwait on March the 6th
00:02:20and an unidentified navy
00:02:21a service member who died by suicide in September. The updated figures
00:02:25also showed that 865
00:02:29US members have also been wounded during the aggression
00:02:33against Iran. Separately, the U.S. military confirmed the death
00:02:37of another soldier in Iraq, claiming that he lost his life
00:02:40in a training accident,
00:02:42of unrelated to the aggression against Iran. The update came after the
00:02:46Washington Post
00:02:47in reported last month that the number of casualties from the war was
00:02:51greater than what the Pentagon has disclosed publicly. At the
00:02:55of time, US War Secretary Pete Hagseth called the reports a complete
00:02:59lie.
00:03:07For his part, author and journalist Robert Fantina says, although Trump
00:03:10portrays the aggression against Iran as necessary and downplays
00:03:14its
00:03:15of human and financial cost, the American public sees it as an
00:03:18unnecessary war of choice that has been very
00:03:23in costly. now the
00:03:28of recent uh uh revision of numbers up to 21, one
00:03:32might say is only two soldiers, however, for those two
00:03:36soldiers in, that's
00:03:38of extremely significant, and the fact that the United States government was willing to
00:03:42ignore them or avoid their reality, certainly felt
00:03:45degraded to not only those victims in their loves, but
00:03:49all the military who are being forced into
00:03:53of this awful situation, so Donald Trump
00:03:56wants the U.S.
00:03:58in populist to look at this as
00:04:00of something unimportant, not costly in terms of lives or
00:04:03money, and just
00:04:05in just necessary military adventure, it is none
00:04:08of of those things, it has been extremely costly in terms of lives and
00:04:12money, and it is a completely
00:04:14unnecessary and illegal and immoral aggression
00:04:18against Iran. there does seem to be something a little
00:04:22in unusual about that, if nearly 900 were injured
00:04:26and only 21 died, and again I'm not minimizing
00:04:28in any way the lives of those. were lost, but it does seem to be
00:04:32rather strange proportion. now the soldier
00:04:36who died in Kuwait apparently was killed
00:04:39when the Iranian forces
00:04:43attacked US bases in in Kuwait, so the
00:04:47fact that only one person died in that uh, we can see it
00:04:51is fortunate, but is it true? meanwhile,
00:04:55US president Donald Trump says, it's time for Ukraine to get new
00:04:59president, after he announced a deal with Russia on diesel
00:05:02supplies. Trump said Ukrainian president Voladimir Zelensky
00:05:06could have ended the war with Russia
00:05:08Jesus many times but
00:05:09Jesus chose not to. He criticized Zelinski for ignoring. warnings against
00:05:13striking Russian refining facilities, saying Kyev had been
00:05:16told not to hit the refineries because of its fallout a global
00:05:20scale. Trump's comment came as the Ukrainian looks like
00:05:24a quote birthday present, looks like a quote birthday present
00:05:28had said on Friday that had said on Friday that
00:05:32will lower fuel prices will lower fuel prices
00:05:36to sell more than 30000 to sell more than
00:05:38300,000 tons of diesel to the US and global.
00:05:42markets, analysts have cast doubt that the agreement
00:05:46worldwide,
00:06:01worldwide. welcome everyone to this segment
00:06:04of news review. well, from Istanbul to
00:06:07Berlin to London, multiple European cities have witnessed large pro-
00:06:11palestine route. is on the third anniversary the beginning of Israel's
00:06:15genocidal war on Gaza, other cities around the globe, including
00:06:19Washington and the US have seen such demonstrations as well.
00:06:23The rallies are are at fever pitch worldwide, are at fever
00:06:27pitch worldwide over the regime's crimes in the region. We're now
00:06:31discussing this issue with our guests in our news review program.
00:06:35Let me go ahead and welcome in our team guest joining us. First of all, of course, joining us
00:06:38here in our Press TV studio is our colleague Nahied Puraisa. Nahid as
00:06:42always, thank you very much for joining us and also joining us from Beirot
00:06:46is Etter and Chief at Mina Uncensored Miss Laila Hatum, Miss Hatum, a
00:06:50pleasure to you as well. Miss Hatum, let me go ahead and start off with
00:06:53you in this regard, as we did mark the other day, the third
00:06:57anniversary of course since the beginning of this genocidal
00:07:01war on Gaza, but what we are covering today is the way the
00:07:05world has reacted. Let's going to start off in regards to how
00:07:09the image the science regime, not only from October 7th.
00:07:122023, but up until now, three years later, has
00:07:15indeed started to fade away from what people have thought the science regime
00:07:19was, came out to be something completely
00:07:21different. well, first of all, good
00:07:25afternoon to you, to your viewers and guest as
00:07:28well, it's it's very interesting to see how things
00:07:32progress over the past three years, yes, they have been hard, they have been
00:07:35catastrophic on the humanitarian side, on the legal side,
00:07:39and on all aspects in this region, the Palestinians have been...
00:07:42devastated by one blow after the other for the past eight decades, but I don't think
00:07:46that they have passed through something that's this harsh like the people of Gaza are
00:07:50facing at the moment
00:07:51and the ethnic cleansing that's happening in the west bank as well. I do
00:07:54believe if you put the genocide aside and everything else,
00:07:58the change in sentiment of populations
00:08:02across the world over the past three years towards the Israeli
00:08:05entity and how the world actually woke up to the
00:08:09reality on the ground of what's happening in Gaza and in Palestine. in general and
00:08:13even in Lebanon and Syria and elsewhere, this created a wave of
00:08:17hatred towards the Israeli entity because the masks have been off. I do
00:08:21believe that the Israelis with all the violence and trying to intimidate the people of this
00:08:24region made the final blow or what you call they shot themselves in the foot
00:08:28by exposing the real genocidal, criminal nature to the world,
00:08:32and this caused the change across the world in terms of how
00:08:36people perceive the Israeli occupation entity and the Israeli settlers
00:08:39themselves. At the end the day we're seeing a growing. support
00:08:43for the palestinian cause, but not only that, we're seeing
00:08:47also foreign governments at one point in time being
00:08:50forced by their own populations to relinquish the Israeli
00:08:54entity or steer away from it or at least cut ties or limit the ties
00:08:58with it, just like Spain, like Italy, like among basically other European
00:09:01nations and elsewhere. I do believe what's happening today is
00:09:05is testiment that violence breeds violence at one
00:09:09point, but it also breeds sympathy. with the people the land
00:09:13and the cause at the same time, but when we do talk about
00:09:17change, let's go and bring a Nahid, nahid in that regard, if we go back to
00:09:21three years ago, when of course demonstration, protest around the world did
00:09:25start, they started step by step, people came out very peacefully and their sit
00:09:28ins of course, holding their placards, their banners, and then it started upping the
00:09:32situation when the governments that still support the zions regime of course and their allies with the
00:09:36us started cracking down, arrests started happening, beating started happening
00:09:40and now we have Hollywood Stars, we have... political figures, we have so many
00:09:44people who are risking their careers even to make sure that the truth is
00:09:48told and that they're fed up with it, in regard to how this change has been going
00:09:51step by step, nahidan what you expect, mean three years on the next
00:09:55step to be? sure, well uh, if we go back to
00:09:59three years ago, the uh term of
00:10:03zionism wouldn't be as negative as it is
00:10:07today, i remember even people who
00:10:10were calling themselves liberals, they would
00:10:14dare to say bad zionism and good
00:10:17zionism everything is over now,
00:10:21and it Israel and the definition of...
00:10:25of zionism has been definitely exposed and people
00:10:29understand what exactly imperialism the
00:10:33United States and Zionism in the region stand for, stand
00:10:37for genocide, but as you mentioned, there is
00:10:40very obvious pattern of escalation
00:10:44among the crowds all around the world and all around the
00:10:48world, and let's not forget the uh
00:10:52was about cease fire. "it was about
00:10:56not like it wasn't a very radical
00:11:00demand at the beginning, people were just asking, we don't
00:11:04want to see more blood on our television, it has to be
00:11:08stopped, but gradually people understand
00:11:12that there is no way of seasing the fire except
00:11:16for the zionist entity to be completely
00:11:19dismantled, this is one thing, the other thing is about
00:11:23the the war in in..." fire axis of resistance, the
00:11:27support that the day after of October 7, Said Hassan
00:11:31ordered Hizbollah to enter the world to support Gaza
00:11:34and right now the Iran war, yemen war,
00:11:37Iraqis, all around the axis of resistance and the question
00:11:41for the global audience, for the one who is supporting the cause of Palestine
00:11:45changed to that, okay, how
00:11:48practical, how how much I'm going to support
00:11:52actually Palestine? I support Palestine, but don't support
00:11:55Islamic Republic of Iran? That was the question for maybe two
00:11:59three years ago, but today everything has become
00:12:03very simple for the especially for
00:12:07western activists to understand that you can just
00:12:11verbally protest against genocide. You have to
00:12:14be concrete in your support for the cause.
00:12:18Otherwise there is no actually logic
00:12:21in between the lines of your support if "if you
00:12:25really want to stop Zionist from killing children in
00:12:29Gaza, then there are more questions for you and there are more
00:12:32topics for you to search and to actually deepen your
00:12:36understanding of what resistance actually means
00:12:39exactly we of course when it comes to the relation
00:12:43the axes of resistance and of course defending
00:12:47Palestine, not just defending them, but of course you have to go all the way back to the
00:12:50situation that this is also embedded in the religion of course in
00:12:54Islam. that as we have heard from our murder commanders from
00:12:58Ali Khamenei, sayid, Ismail Han, of
00:13:02course, and all many, so many more, in that
00:13:05regard that the end the path is about praying in
00:13:09alqdus and dying or being murdered on the path to
00:13:12al Qudus. Miss Hatum, let me go ahead and bring it back to you, let's go ahead and talk
00:13:16about something that was also very significant during these past three years, is one
00:13:20these steps that the people, it's not just that they put their
00:13:24own freedoms. in that regard, we also have of course the
00:13:27action from the people against their own governments, whether we're talking about the elbit
00:13:31systems, the isiness, of course Albert Sipsons, where they were talking about people
00:13:35protesting and preventing ports to uh ship weapons
00:13:39there on vessels to the science regime, it's the people that have also come up against
00:13:43their own government to protest the
00:13:45situation. well, you have to understand
00:13:48when the population in the west and across the world tries multiple times to reach
00:13:52out to their officials and they see
00:13:55that their governments are inept or unwilling to move against the Israeli
00:13:59occupation any point to stop this genocide, despite the
00:14:03fact that it's their duty and obligation under the statute of Rome to
00:14:06stop any genocide that they see, right? so when people are fed up with their
00:14:10governments not moving, they are bound to move at one point in
00:14:14time, it starts with few activists on the ground and then everybody
00:14:17basically goes after them, and in that sense we saw how
00:14:21few activists started attacking Israeli war.
00:14:25manufacturing factories across Europe, especially in UK
00:14:29and elsewhere
00:14:29and including elbate systems, and we saw the governments trying
00:14:33to repress these people and oppress them, and that's when the population started
00:14:37saying, no, we're not going to have an Israeli practice against us in our own
00:14:41country like you're doing
00:14:42in in palestine and elsewhere, and we're not going to stay silent, so we started seeing mass
00:14:46protests on the ground, and to a certain extent the most
00:14:50zionist governments in the world started attacking their own
00:14:54peace. protesters, so we saw the German police where I
00:14:58do believe the nazis still are still
00:15:00in rule and they continue to support the zionists in the Israeli entity and I call them Zion
00:15:04nazis, they can they started beating up peaceful
00:15:07protesters, detaining them, in the UK they detained a 98 year old
00:15:11woman, they detained basically a blind man, they detained
00:15:15what you call a man on wheelchairs, so those people don't pose any
00:15:19threats, but those governments were trying to repress the voice because the more
00:15:22people actually joined these protests, the more the... will be awareness, and they
00:15:26failed to do so. They literally did what the Pharisees or
00:15:30basically what we call the zinast Jews back during the times of Christ tried to do the
00:15:34Christ and his disciples. They tried to repress them. "and
00:15:38eventually because people saw that this is injustice and this is basically
00:15:41oppression, people started joining that side and growing and
00:15:45growing against the Israeli entity and the government supporting it. same thing goes for
00:15:48the US, same thing goes for France, but I do believe at one point in time
00:15:52there's a what you call double edged sword, because the Israelis
00:15:56are now taking advantage of violent violent triets and claiming that
00:16:00Palestinians are doing it in France and elsewhere so that they can serve
00:16:04this western sentiment against the Palestinian." and I do believe that people
00:16:08are aware of this situation and they're not going to fall for these what you call
00:16:11practices either by the intelligence apparatus their own country that supports the Israelies
00:16:15or the Israeli infiltrators? well I
00:16:18mean a head on that point as Miss Khatum did mention this has
00:16:22this started a few countries and now we have been of course reporting that over the
00:16:26past the course three years that has grown to the entire world
00:16:30demonstrations and almost every country on the world are standing
00:16:34solidarity with the Palestinians as we did mention the global action
00:16:37day uh united for palestines, so many other organizations have
00:16:41been uh united in that regard for the Palestinians. now
00:16:45that it's global, I mean, how has this been impacting the
00:16:49anti-Israel sentiments, because every since the situation, the
00:16:53reality is is that whether we're talking about international organizations, the most recent of course the
00:16:57UNGA, United Nations General Assembly, Netanyahu was still allowed
00:17:01to come at there to New York, give his own speech, so even though the
00:17:04entire world is united for one cause, then community is still on
00:17:08another atmosphere, basically another world,
00:17:12well one the beauties of October 7 was
00:17:16actually the space that this
00:17:19revolution provided for the global audience to
00:17:23see that international law and international
00:17:26organization are not only
00:17:29uncapable of defending the
00:17:33human rights of especially global south citizens, but
00:17:37also there there is reason, it's not just
00:17:41simply, it's not just simply about the hypocrisy
00:17:45of western powers, talking about human rights
00:17:49and doing something else, they actually created all
00:17:52these imperialist organization after world war ii to make
00:17:56sure that they are safeguarding their own interest, and this
00:17:59is what has been
00:18:02clearly televised, I would say for the global
00:18:06audience after. October 7, okay, where is human rights,
00:18:10where are women's rights when it comes to Gaza, where is
00:18:14children's right when it comes to a slaughtering
00:18:17over 20,000 children in Gaza or
00:18:21what is happening in Lebanon or Yemen and elsewhere actions of
00:18:25resistance, so the the the entire
00:18:28concept that I would say the western
00:18:32values were very successful in framing, especially
00:18:36after World War II, now think after October 7
00:18:39is under question, not only by under question, not only
00:18:43by analys or whoever is interested in
00:18:47geopolitics or anything else, it's by very
00:18:50ord ordinary citizens the world that I don't,
00:18:54I don't trust this to be another alternative
00:18:58for the current situation, because I don't want to see children
00:19:02being slaughtered and there is no act, there is nothing
00:19:06except for living. UN when Netanyahu is coming, it's
00:19:09not enough, it's not enough, almost 100 thousand people have been
00:19:13slaughtered or more and the only thing uh the
00:19:17global powers are doing, which is okay, which is good
00:19:21to see, but way more than that, it's
00:19:24required to stop the zionist
00:19:27from killing people in West Asia, I would say, exactly,
00:19:31now he, I mean as you to mention, enough is not enough simply by talks or peaceful
00:19:35protesting, it's the action that we have been talking. about of course during the segment that needs to
00:19:39be increasing and the segment that needs to be increased and only in that way as
00:19:43you did mention uh the genocide of course in Gaza will support the axy
00:19:46resistance and everyone around the world who does not want to bow down to
00:19:49occupation or to humiliation on that point let me go ahead and thank
00:19:53my team guest for joining us during this segment of news review and nahid
00:19:57puraisa joining us of course here in our Tahan Studio Press colleague thank you as always
00:20:01naheed and Miss Laila Hatum editor and chief of mina uncensor joining us
00:20:05there from Beirout Miss Hatum thank you as well.
00:20:09Well viewers with that we go, thank you very very much for joining and thank you very
00:20:12very much for joining and
00:20:14goodbye.
00:20:33One morning, the balance of power in west Asia was.
00:20:38October 7th was not simply another day of war,
00:20:42it was the moment, decades of assumptions, alliances and
00:20:46security doctrines began to collapse.
00:20:55And as the battlefield expanded from Gaza to the heart the
00:20:59region, one question became impossible to
00:21:01ignore: what was Iran prepared to risk and
00:21:05how far would it go for Palestine? This is the story of
00:21:09Iran October 7 and the confrontation that changed
00:21:13West Asia
00:21:14forever.
00:21:24Welcome back everyone, well thousands of demonstrators have taken to the
00:21:28streets the turkish city of Istanbul in support of Palestinians
00:21:31demanding an end to Israel's
00:21:34gen.
00:21:47Filistin'de dökülen. "I am here
00:21:51so that the blood of poor young children, of people, of innocent people being shed
00:21:55in Palestine will stop. Israel must now put an end to the blood
00:21:58it is spilling around the world and stop this genocide. We Muslims, and
00:22:02not only Muslims, but all people in the world, must finally put an end to this
00:22:06oppressor's game and stop the bloodshed.
00:22:09Waving a Palestinian and Turkish flags demonstrators marched through
00:22:13Istanbul on the Global Day of action for Palestine. They called for

00:28:17Behind the cold lifeless statistics of war lie
00:28:20human faces, each one's
00:28:22a world of life, laughter and unfulfilled dreams. People
00:28:26whose entire share of this earth was reduced in a single instant
00:28:30a picture frame a wall. One of those names is
00:28:33Ilia Khatami, a 12-year-old boy from the city of
00:28:37Lamert, full of vitality, sharp-witted, and with
00:28:40smile that never left his face. Like many boys his age across the
00:28:44globe, he had a dream, he loved football, he would erupt with
00:28:48joy, with his team one cheer for Cristiano Ronaldo
00:28:52and lose himself in the sheer thrill of chasing ball,
00:28:56yet deep in his young heart, even bigger dream had taken
00:29:00root, he wanted to be a... firefighter to run into the flames
00:29:04and save lives. His father still vividly recalls the day
00:29:08he dressed him an oversized firefighter uniform,
00:29:12handing him an extinguisher as Elia's eyes sparkled with
00:29:16the passion to put out fires and rescue
00:29:18people. But the fire that engulfed this land was
00:29:22not meant to be extinguished nor did it leave any room for rescue a
00:29:26devastating war waged by the US and Israel, the dreams of
00:29:30generations collapsed in the blink of a... eye on
00:29:33February 28, the first day of war, it was on that very
00:29:37afternoon as Elia thrilled by the school break, tied
00:29:41his football clates and stepped outside with light, eager
00:29:45steps that the terrifying roar of air strikes tore through the sky,
00:29:48his father running desperately through gridlocked
00:29:52panicked streets, finally reached the end
00:29:55the line a cold bloodstain emergency room hallway, there
00:29:59Elia's lifeless body was carried a stretcher. his eyes
00:30:03half open, sharp note to the back of his head
00:30:06proved too merciless for 30 rounds of CPR,
00:30:10and mother's relentless tears or helpless father's chest
00:30:14compressions to bring a heartbreak back to that pure young
00:30:18soul. Elia was killed, a child who held no
00:30:21gun, who only dreamed of saving others lost his life a war, he
00:30:25had no that home, a grieving father steps every, that home, a grieving father
