00:00:04TV that the US response to Terron's
00:00:07conditions, freeopening the hormostrate is inadequate and
00:00:11contains ambiguities, it must be cleared.
00:00:14of The IRGC Navy warns all vessels not to turn off their
00:00:18navigation systems during hormo's transit, saying all ships doing this will be
00:00:21considered hostile and targeted. Hamas strongly condemns Israel's
00:00:25threat to assassinate the head of its political bureau stressing that the regime's
00:00:29threat. amounts to organized state
00:00:32terrorism,
00:00:37of
00:00:52hello and welcome everybody, it's 8:30 am, press tv's world news, our
00:00:55top story for this half hour an exclusive interview with press tv,
00:01:00Iran's top security official says Washington's response
00:01:04to Tehran's seven conditions
00:01:06in a proposal to reopen the strategic straight of hormos is
00:01:09inadequate.
00:01:11of Major General Mon said the United States must first
00:01:14clarify those issues that remain ambiguous for
00:01:18Iran.
00:01:23Over the past two months the Americans made proposals to us through three
00:01:26channels:
00:01:28of Pakistan, Qatar, and even Iraq. and asked us to give them our
00:01:32of of own proposals. We announced seven conditions to the Americans. If you do not act
00:01:35on these conditions, neither will the straight of Hormus be opened
00:01:39of to you, nor will there be any negotiations. The Americans have now
00:01:43of given
00:01:43a response. In their response, they have accepted some of our
00:01:46conditions, and there are some
00:01:48of ambiguities. Therefore, the Americans have responded to us. We are not in the
00:01:52process of responding
00:01:53of to the Americans. The Americans have responded to us
00:01:57of and we consider their response insufficient.
00:02:03He added that the Americans must remove those parts that
00:02:07are considered ambiguous by Iran and Tehran is waiting to see
00:02:11whether they can remove those ambiguities before heading to the next
00:02:15stages elsewhere in his interview as I said the US has suffered defeat after
00:02:19defeat against Iran and that's why Washington has turned to
00:02:22economic war against the
00:02:24country
00:02:29دشمن همون. The enemy suffered major defeat in
00:02:33the 12-day war and then again in the 40-day war. They resorted to
00:02:37naval blockade, but that led them nowhere. And recently, they launched
00:02:40economic isolation plan. They faced defeat in almost every single
00:02:44campaign they launched, but we stayed put, pursuing our plans and
00:02:48neutralized all those campaigns with accurate planning and
00:02:54of calculations. The general said the US has failed even to end
00:02:57its war of aggression. He stressed. that the option to end the
00:03:01aggression is in the hands of Iran and
00:03:04of Iranians
00:03:05of will not stop their resistance until they get what is rightfully
00:03:09theirs. Rezy added that the US is the root cause
00:03:12of the problem concerning the straight of hormos. The general said, Iran
00:03:16seeks management
00:03:17of the street to ensure
00:03:18of regional in security, especially in the Persian Gulf. He
00:03:22rejected Washington's
00:03:23in claim that it's transporting major amounts of oil through the key
00:03:27waterway. Raz I said the US is only using smugglers to
00:03:31transport
00:03:32of negligible
00:03:32in amounts of oil while the straight remains
00:03:35closed.
00:03:41political commentator sayid says Iran has every right to close the
00:03:45straight of hormos in response to the anglo-zionist war
00:03:49a of aggression as international law does not operate in the same
00:03:53way during
00:03:54wartime.
00:03:59It's... "who started the war? again, it's the
00:04:03anglo-ziist
00:04:04of empire that started the war, and in wartime, these kind of
00:04:07maritime rules and regulations, they don't operate, I
00:04:11mean, how is it on earth is it a reality that Iran has to
00:04:15abide by first
00:04:16of all maritime rules that it's never signed up to, and then top of that, it
00:04:20it has aggressive forces which are trying to use that oil
00:04:24in a war against it, why, why
00:04:26of should it, why should they be obligated to allow any shipping to?"
00:04:30now the shipping that is going of
00:04:36in course,
00:04:39issues on there,
00:04:43so the ships which Iran is getting out, which the American
00:04:46Navy can't stop, are definitely going to
00:04:50be shipping is going to the to South Asia and
00:04:54Europe, but mainly it South Asia, and that that's something Iran
00:04:58of in of terms of it's trading oil. will do and anybody else that wants to
00:05:02take oil out
00:05:03of there
00:05:03uh that weekend or LNG or
00:05:06of fertilizers they if they go through the procedures that
00:05:08in Iran is set then they will be allowed uh to to take
00:05:11of that to.
00:05:16Author and west Asia expert Saib Shath says Iran has not
00:05:20only won us israly imposed war but also gained dominance
00:05:24prompting the Trump administration to turn to economic
00:05:28warfare.
00:05:33Iran won the war and Iran is the one who has
00:05:36escalation dominance in here, not just ability to
00:05:40respond
00:05:41Ted for that on this. and that so a Trump
00:05:44administration they targets today
00:05:48the economical ability of survivor in
00:05:52Iran and they in that way as
00:05:56I mentioned many times they trying to create
00:06:00what they call the hyper inflation in Iran
00:06:04they they failed in in doing so since
00:06:08Iran since 1979 is used to
00:06:12the american and campaigns of trying
00:06:15to start to suffocate the economy in Iran
00:06:19and Iran response to any attempts
00:06:23by the Americans will be devastating and the
00:06:26Americans put lots of scenarios
00:06:30on
00:06:30the on the table, that's before even they today what you
00:06:34hear Trump is saying is like
00:06:37something nothing to do with the war, always he repeat
00:06:41the statement. that he Iran were not gonna have nuclear a
00:06:45nuclear arm program or nuclear
00:06:48bomb since day one iran said that to the
00:06:52Americans and on that the GCPA were
00:06:56signed and he come himself negate that
00:07:00signature.
00:07:05The commander the Islamic Revolution Guards Core navy has warned all
00:07:09vessels transiting through the straight of hormos not to shut down. their
00:07:12navigation and automatic identification
00:07:15systems. rear admiral aliasmai said in his
00:07:19message that all ships to turn off their navigation and identification
00:07:23systems in the straight of hormoles will be identified as hostile and will be
00:07:27dealt with severely and decisively. his warning came
00:07:31after the IRGC announced that violating oil super
00:07:35tanker has caught fire after striking naval mine in the
00:07:38straight of hormos while trying to cross the straight through an unauthorized
00:07:42route, the IRGC Navy said the violating vessels had
00:07:46turned off all identification and navigation systems before
00:07:50attempting to pass through unauthorized waters. it
00:07:53added that this was the third violating tanker in two
00:07:57days to strike naval mines and catch fire while attempting
00:08:01illegal hormos transit. the IRGC Navy reiterated that any
00:08:05vessel trying to cross the strategic waterway, after
00:08:08disabling its navigation systems will be considered hostile.
00:08:13targets and dealt with
00:08:14accordingly.
00:08:19journalist author and producer sakinaad joined us earlier, she said the
00:08:23international community must hold the US is ravy aggression against Iran
00:08:26responsible for rising fuel and energy prices, noting that
00:08:30the straight of hormos was open before the aggression
00:08:33began.
00:08:37Iran has every right to control the waters around its own
00:08:41area and these are you know he they have control and they also
00:08:45have not completely stopped ships from passing
00:08:48you know there are conditions however because for far too long the
00:08:52straight of hormos used to be open to everybody and it was a
00:08:56war on Iran that has brought this upon the world itself and
00:09:00upon the global economy because Iran was attacked and
00:09:04therefore you know closing state of allm or managing it
00:09:08is in the interest is it's vital
00:09:11security. issue for Iran in this states, so absolutely who
00:09:15can blame Iran for wanting to make sure that they have the
00:09:19control over the street, and also these ships,
00:09:22you know, the very fact that they turn off all navigation is in
00:09:26itself indication that they are aware that they are doing something illegal,
00:09:30otherwise
00:09:30you know if they really had that kind of a courage to defy then why do they
00:09:34have to turn you know the navigations of
00:09:38and so I think you know the the reality is that things are getting very very...
00:09:42tough for the US, we have seen them now coming to this
00:09:46deal with Russia to get some oil out, from from
00:09:50Russia, all these signifies the fact that they are desperate, saying
00:09:54you know he had the control, he saying
00:09:56you know he had the control, formost, there is no
00:09:59control, there is no control on babul mandap,
00:10:03we've been watching what the yemenis, what ansarulah is
00:10:06doing,
00:10:10the Iranian deputy foreign minister says, Iran seeks constructive relations
00:10:14with its neighbors, but considers the presence of American forces in the region
00:10:17a cause of insecurity. Speaking a press
00:10:21conferencem said security and stability the Persian Gulf.
00:10:25region can only be established by the regional countries, not foreign
00:10:29forces. He added that the uh 40-day US-Israeli aggression
00:10:33against Iran showed that the presence of American forces has been a
00:10:37source of insecurity even for those countries that are hosting American military
00:10:40bases. Khari stressed that the security of Iran and regional
00:10:44countries are intertwined. He said Iran expects other
00:10:48countries not to provide their territory for aggression
00:10:52against its national security otherwise. Iran will take
00:10:56all necessary measures to defend itself. Khadi Babadi
00:10:59expressed hope that neighboring countries would join hands to ensure peace and
00:11:03security in the region instead of relying on foreign
00:11:06powers.
00:11:12Journalist and political analyst John Bosnit says, as long as Arab States
00:11:16in the Persian Gulf depend on the US for their security, uh, they
00:11:20will uh be unable to enjoy lasting
00:11:23peace.
00:11:28"the Israel lobby in the United States controls Donald Trump
00:11:32and has push Donald Trump into a war that he was
00:11:36lied to about, they told him that he could win the war in
00:11:39two weeks and apparently he's declared victory
00:11:43several times and there is no victory in
00:11:46sight. The bigger issue at stake
00:11:50here is the decolonization the
00:11:53entire Gulf'. many these
00:11:57states, especially Saudi Arabia, the Emirates and so
00:12:01on, are the leftovers, the holdovers the
00:12:04previous British empire and its control over the
00:12:08region. now that the British Empire has gone and the
00:12:12United States has tried to take over the British empire, these
00:12:16fell into US control. now what we're seeing is
00:12:19the home-grown resistance the Iranian people to
00:12:23the foreign control. the region, and if the Gulf
00:12:27states were willing to be independent, and if they
00:12:31were willing to operate as sovereign states, there could be some
00:12:35negotiations with them by Iran, but so long as they
00:12:39are dependencies of foreign superpower that answers
00:12:43to a criminal bribery scheme called the
00:12:47Israeli lobby in America, there can't be any
00:12:50peace, and so Iran is actually fighting a war of
00:12:54liberation.
00:13:14the armed forces carried out for qualitative operations in the past 24
00:13:18hours using ballistic and cruise missiles and drones the
00:13:22first operation targeted in three phases king. national airport in
00:13:25Riad, resulting in the disruption of air traffic and the complete closure the
00:13:29airport. The second operation targeted the sugar dam gas
00:13:33facility belonging to Arenko in the eastern province and resulted in
00:13:37large fires breaking out at the targeted site. The
00:13:41third operation targeted the Arenko tanajib oil refinery in the eastern
00:13:45province and resulted in ignition in it. The fourth
00:13:48operation targeted King Ford International Airport in
00:13:51Damon.
00:13:55Brigady general Yahya Ceri added:
00:13:58Yemeni forces deployed six ballistic missiles and two drones against Saudi back
00:14:02troops in Bob Almandip region.
00:14:04He said the attacks are in response to um over
00:14:07124 Saudi-backed air strikes across
00:14:10the emimen in 24 hours. Yahya said he reiterated the warning against
00:14:14using Saudi airports, except those in Mecca and
00:14:18Medina, declaring them potential targets. He said operations would
00:14:21continue to escalate under the principle of escalation for esc. and
00:14:25blockade for blockade until saudi military aggression and the
00:14:29siege are brought to an
00:14:30end.
00:14:36military and strategic analyst Ali ham believes Saudi Arabia is
00:14:40losing the war in Yemen and is now begging other countries for
00:14:42help.
00:14:47The Saudies are losing the strategic war, why? because the
00:14:51Yemanies are not in need of water passes. or to
00:14:55pass through babel mandab or somewhere
00:14:59else, they are the they are very
00:15:03close to to africa edge of oman sea, edge of
00:15:06oman sea, at the shore of oman sea, close to oman
00:15:10sea, also the close to oman sea, also the arabian
00:15:14sea, saudi arabia is in
00:15:18short strategy, lock of strategy to
00:15:22go into war against yemen for...
00:15:26you know
00:15:26they experienced such war for eight years
00:15:28with huge allies and
00:15:31more effective and
00:15:35strongest allies ever. for eight years
00:15:39before and they did not succeed, now they are trying with some
00:15:42mercenaries, they are trying to help uh for the
00:15:45triple agreements in Mecca from Turkey and
00:15:48Pakistan, the you know it gets
00:15:52to Muhammad bin Salman to ask the support of
00:15:55Aljuani to send some mercenaries to Al Yeman to
00:15:59fight on behalf of Saudi Arabia, so we
00:16:03see that Saudi Arabia for such escalation.
00:16:08It's exactly remind us of what happened
00:16:11during Yeman supporting Gaza
00:16:15saying escalation against
00:16:17escalation, airport against airport, and
00:16:21this is exactly what happened and it's all
00:16:24still the allie, the resistance ally
00:16:28for the benefits of Palestine against
00:16:31the abstin allies for the
00:16:35benefits of Israel.
00:16:41The Palestinian Resistance moving Hamas has strongly condemned recent threats by
00:16:45Israel's Minister of Military Affairs to assassinate the head the
00:16:48movement's political bureau Khalidal an
00:16:52official statement Hamas said Israel's uh Israel
00:16:56cats threat amounts to organized state
00:17:00terrorism and reflects the rogue regime's lack of respect for international
00:17:04law. The movent added that Israel's threat to kill Hamas chiefful.
00:17:07reveals the political bankrupcy the occupying regime and its
00:17:11fascist member stress that such threats will not alter the
00:17:15movement's firm position or its approach to struggle in resistance
00:17:19until all the rights the Palestinian people were restored.
00:17:23Hamas emphasized that Israel's threats will only strengthen the resolve the movement and
00:17:27its leaders. It called on the Gaza's ceasefire mediators to take a decisive
00:17:31stance against Israel's reckless threats and forced the regime to
00:17:34fulfill its obligations including stopping. the aggression and lifting
00:17:38the blockade on
00:17:39Gaza.
00:17:46South greens have demonstrated in downtown Soul on Saturday to call
00:17:50attention to the continuing US-Israeli genocide in
00:17:53Gaza and the U.S. war on Iran. They slammed US President Donald
00:17:57Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benim Netanyahu has war criminals.
00:18:01Press TV correspondent Frank Smith reports from the South Green Capital
00:18:04Soul.
00:18:09Palestinians, west Asians and people from all over join South
00:18:13Koreans to march and rally in downtown soul to draw attention
00:18:17to the genocide in Gaza now marking three years.
00:18:20Palestinians express their gratitude in solidarity
00:18:24on this global day of action for Palestine. From
00:18:28Palestine to Korea, from Gaza to all the peoples the world,
00:18:32we will remain united because justice knows no borders, because
00:18:36our freedom is intercon. connected and because our destinies are
00:18:39intertwined, we will not stop until the genocide ends,
00:18:43until wars and occupation come to an end, and until every
00:18:46people achieve freedom, dignity, and the right to self-determination.
00:18:50Colonial settler identities are seen to contribute to enabling
00:18:54action and failure the international community to end the
00:18:58conflict. Part of why these superpowers
00:19:02are not acting against Israel's genocide, is
00:19:06because then they would... have to confront their own genocide that they have
00:19:10historically committed against the native people, for instance the native
00:19:13americans or aboriginal people in Australia. US
00:19:17president Donald Trump has rubber stamped Israel's genocide with
00:19:21weapons and diplomatic cover for Israel, drawing harsh
00:19:25criticism. Protesters also targeted his illegal
00:19:28war on Iran. Trump again played the fear card to
00:19:32generate support for his failed forever war against
00:19:36Iran.
00:19:37attempt
00:19:37to distract
00:19:47attention from American war crimes
00:19:49in the failures of his administration.
00:19:52Trump's under fire here for pressuring South Korea to send troops
00:19:56to help with his war on Iran. Trump and
00:20:00Netanyahu must bring the wars to an end and I hope for the defeat the US
00:20:04and Israel. South Korea must absolutely refrain from deploying troops to
00:20:08support the conflict between the US and Iran. I believe that no support
00:20:12should be provided for the war any way, whether as combat troops or
00:20:15non-combat personnel. As the Gaza tool now surpasses
00:20:1975,00 people killed by Israel, global
00:20:23condemnation demands freedom for Palestine. Frank
00:20:27Smith, press TV.
00:20:28Soul. Tens
00:20:32of thousands take to the streets of Brussels demanding that European
00:20:36leaders prioritize. climate action and social justice
00:20:40over military spending campaigners say governments are feeling wars
00:20:44while neglecting the environmental crisis threatening the planet Jerome
00:20:47Huws reports from the Belgian.
00:20:54As far as the eye can see, tens of thousands flood central
00:20:58brussels on Sunday, demanding radical shift in political
00:21:02priorities. Climate change dominates the
00:21:05march, but opposition to war and the EU's massive military
00:21:09spending is also high on the agenda. Real
00:21:12resilience of society is to invest in
00:21:16climate, is to invest in social policies. That is
00:21:20important, more important than investing uh hundreds of
00:21:24millions, billions and weapons. Against the backdrop the
00:21:27illegal US-Israeli war against Iran, Israel's
00:21:31genocide in Gaza and the conflict in Ukraine,
00:21:34protesters accuse western leaders of prioritizing
00:21:38warfare over peace, climate action and social
00:21:41protection. Bien sure, of course, political figures in America,
00:21:45the UK and here in the EU are focused on war. They have vested
00:21:49in interests, but the people want peace, prosperity
00:21:53and normal climate. Research suggests the world's militaries
00:21:57account for around 5.5% of global
00:22:01greenhouse gas emissions, exposing the staggering
00:22:04environmental cost of militarization. Focus
00:22:07on the danger, war,
00:22:11weapons, climate. When
00:22:14financial institutions face collapse, governments find billions to
00:22:18rescue them. protesters are asking why the same urgency isn't
00:22:22shown when it comes to saving the planet. if the
00:22:26the earth was a bank, it was it would have already been
00:22:30saved. so i think that we
00:22:33have the capacity, we have the money, we
00:22:36have, we can take the right decision to make it possible.
00:22:40sunday's protest brought together activists trying to highlight a whole
00:22:44range of subjects, not just the climate. more than 100
00:22:48Belgian civil society groups and including trade unions, environmental
00:22:52organizations, humanitarian justice activists were involved,
00:22:56justice activists were involved. The message from these campaigners
00:22:59could not be any clearer, governments cannot claim to be fighting climate
00:23:03change while pouring hundreds of billions into military
00:23:06expansion. They argue that the world needs, they argue that
00:23:10the world needs less investment in warfare, and more
00:23:14investment in protecting the planet.
00:23:18TV.
00:23:22That's a wrap for now, but stick around, we've got plenty more to come here on Press TV, see you
00:23:26soon,
00:23:46they call themselves Ancerula, where the supporters of God. god and
00:23:50regard confronting American and Israeli aggression and domination
00:23:54in the region as one their principal objectives. They are among the
00:23:58most courageous fighters of our time, men who face bombardment and
00:24:02death, yet refuse to retreat even a single step from their believes
00:24:06in their path of resistance. For years, they have fought
00:24:09Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in defense of Yemen,
