00:03:33fueling clash of
00:03:34of civilization saying that Iran is fully prepared to defend
00:03:37itself. He said those who cause such confrontation cannot
00:03:41control how far it spreads or determine how it
00:03:45ends. Meanwhile, Brigador General Abdul Fazzel Shakrachi, a
00:03:49senior spokesperson for Iranian Armed Forces, says
00:03:53recent insults by US officials targeting Iran
00:03:56civilization and history would only strengthen the nation.
00:04:00resolve, he said Iran's hammed forces are more capable

00:04:30journalist Farazan Shuran says US threats against
00:04:34of Iran will
00:04:35a only strengthen the nation's resolve to continue
00:04:41of of resistance. Marco Robio's remarks and
00:04:45claims uh comes basically from the colonial
00:04:49mindset
00:04:50of the officials in the United States and Washington and that that
00:04:54is exactly what uh two major generals were uh
00:04:58of of of course of pointing at.
00:05:02of and again let's remind our viewers that how time and again
00:05:03of uh the US officials uh has have basically
00:05:07called the Iranian nations terrorists, and of course uh
00:05:10during uh the uh 40 days of war and of course the previous war, the
00:05:1412-day war, they were of course
00:05:18threatening Iran's civilization, and of course this
00:05:22is why the martur leader the Islamic Revolution Ali Khamenei would
00:05:26say that the problem that the United States has with Iran and
00:05:30the Iranian nation is not merely about its politics or its
00:05:34government or as with Iran is Iran
00:05:37itself, as with Iran is Iran itself, and
00:05:41it's... basically the issue is is an
00:05:44existential issue and of course as we had of course in the
00:05:48news what major general was mentioning
00:05:52that those rhetorics and trying to basically feeling
00:05:56the clash of civilizations basically
00:06:00make the Iranian nations resolve even stronger
00:06:04and make them even more eager to stand against their
00:06:08atrocities and stand against the repression and of
00:06:11course uh to say that we are victorious because we have
00:06:15thousands of years of civilization again, history
00:06:19and we will not bow down to any kind of
00:06:22uh pressure. well the
00:06:26Iranian ambassador to the Vatican is urged pope Leo the
00:06:2914 to speak out against US sanctions that disrupt
00:06:33ordinary people's access to medical care, education
00:06:37and other services. the envoy made the remarket an Iranian
00:06:40embassy in the presence of Italian journalist, press TV's
00:06:44Max Jibili has report from
00:06:46Rome.
00:06:50Iran's ambassador to the Vatican Muhammad Hussein Mukhtari has
00:06:54addressed a formal letter to the head the Catholic Church, pope Leo the
00:06:5814th. He called on the Pontif to help prevent
00:07:01humanitarian consequences caused by Washington's new sanctions
00:07:05against Tehran. The letter followed the US decision last
00:07:09month to impose new sanctions on 27 Iran. and
00:07:12airlines, Washington also threatened sanctions
00:07:16any airport and company across the world that would
00:07:20provide services to the Iranian airlines, as you know the
00:07:24ordinary people to have medicine to
00:07:27go hospital, students you know
00:07:31who are studying abroad wants to go
00:07:35back home to visit their
00:07:38family, parents, I think
00:07:41that... is
00:07:43you know inhuman actions is not
00:07:46acceptable, i mention
00:07:48to the
00:07:5114. on Monday during a meeting with Italian
00:07:54journalists, ambassador Mcteri explained that this new round of
00:07:58sanctions are in breach of international law and humanitarian
00:08:02norms. this is why the diplomat said he has appealed
00:08:06to the pope's moral and diplomatic authority to defend
00:08:09vulnerable people affected by Washington's
00:08:20understand that the war continues and that it continues to affect
00:08:24the lives of Iranians who are
00:08:26not able to take a plane to meet their families, to see their sick
00:08:30relatives, for the students to return home to see their
00:08:33parents. the war continues, even if there is no
00:08:36longer news of bombings on the ground and on Iranian territory, trump
00:08:40is scraping the bottom the barrel. with this new round of
00:08:43sanctions. the US wants to
00:08:47rule the world by internationalizing their internal laws, and
00:08:51this is not acceptable, not only when we discuss what is going on in
00:08:55Iran or in west Asia, but also when we refer to what's
00:08:59happening here in Italy. during the meeting with
00:09:02journalists, the Iranian ambassador showed photos of
00:09:06significant damage caused by US Israely attacks to
00:09:10several UNESCO world heritage son. as well as
00:09:13prominent religious and cultural landmarks in his
00:09:16country. Iran's ambassador MOK had
00:09:20previously addressed another formal letter to pope Leo
00:09:23(14th) in July last year, the Iranian diplomat
00:09:27urged the pontif to condemn US president Donald
00:09:30Trump's threats to assassinate the then leader the
00:09:34Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
00:09:38a threat that has tragically become a reality.

00:11:23its aggression against. Yemen early last month, that is
00:11:27according to Yemen's health ministry. It says scores more have been
00:11:31wounded with women and children making up most the

00:11:55people have been killed since the latest wave of Saudi attacks began on September
00:11:593. The Saudi enemy
00:12:02continues to target civilian infrastructure and property following
00:12:06the escalation that began on September 3. The reported toll has
00:12:10risen to 304 casualties, including 97
00:12:14fatalities. Women and children account for 60% the

00:13:33will be severe for these crimes. The
00:13:37health ministry's figures offer only a glimpse the human toll the attacks
00:13:41on Yemen, raising further question about the international response
00:13:45that comes as the United Nation and the wider international community
00:13:49face growing criticism over their handling the ongoing
00:13:53crisis. These are the targets of

00:22:15boy entered a school with a gun and fired several shots. He
00:22:19was restrained by member the school staff, police denies any

00:24:22July 31st, 2026, nighttime straight of
00:24:26Hormus, southern Iran. The United States launched a heavy
00:24:30wave of strikes against command centers, radars,
00:24:34surveillance systems and air defense positions across southern
00:24:37Iran, intended to make the skies over southern Iran safer for
00:24:41American aircraft, but just hours later, something
00:24:44unexpected happened. An American
00:24:48MQ9 Reaper was... shot down over the straight of
00:24:51hormos. The MQ9 is no ordinary
00:24:55drone. It is one of America's primary platforms for intelligence,
00:24:58surveillance, reconnaissance, and precision strikes, capable of remaining
00:25:02airborn for more than a full day while carrying an advanced suite of
00:25:06sensors and weapons, and this was not the first reaper lost.
00:25:10Since the beginning the war, Iran has taken around 50 MQ9
00:25:14Reapers out of operation, roughly one quarter the entire US
00:25:18Reaper fleet. But the real story. was only beginning, shortly
00:25:21afterward, an F-35 entered the picture, one the world's most
00:25:25advanced combat aircraft, designed specifically to penetrate
00:25:29sophisticated air defense networks, but stealth does not mean
00:25:32invisible. one radar may detect only faint
00:25:36signature, infrared sensor may pick up the heat from its engines,
00:25:40another system may detect its electronic emissions, and when the
00:25:43information from all these systems is air picture the target begins to
00:25:47emerge, clear picture the target begins to... emerge. That same
00:25:51night, the tracking the F-35 reached the level of a weapon's
00:25:55quality lock, a warning the pilot could not ignore. The
00:25:58F-35 did not continue its mission and quickly left the area.
00:26:02And perhaps that is the most important part the story. Air defense
00:26:06success does not always mean shooting an aircraft down.
00:26:09Sometimes
00:26:10it is enough to stop an aircraft designed to penetrate hostile
00:26:13airspace from completing its mission. And now, for the United
00:26:17States, the issue is no longer simply the loss of an MQ9
00:26:21or the retreat of an F35. The bigger question is, how could a
00:26:25network whose radars and key components had been attacked only hours
00:26:29earlier, remain operational and still force. one of
00:26:32America's most advanced aircraft to abandon its mission,
00:26:36incident that now forces the United States to rethink not just a
00:26:40flight path, but its entire calculation over Iran's
00:26:44skies. The
00:26:48equation in Iran's skies is no longer the
00:26:50same.
