00:05:50(14th), he called on the Pontif to help prevent
00:05:54humanitarian consequences caused by Washington's new sanctions
00:05:58against Iran. The letter followed the US decision last

00:06:23you know who are studying abroad wants to
00:06:27go back home to visit their
00:06:31family, parents, i think
00:06:33that this you know in human
00:06:36actions is not acceptable,
00:06:40i mention to...
00:06:45On Monday during a meeting with Italian journalists, ambassador
00:06:49Mcteri explained that this new round of sanctions are in breach of
00:06:53international law and humanitarian norms. This is why the

00:07:00diplomatic authority to defend vulnerable people affected
00:07:04by Washington's quote in humane
00:07:07policies. This
00:07:10letter also has the purpose. of making everyone understand that the war
00:07:14continues and that it continues to affect the lives of Iranians who
00:07:18are not able to take a plane to meet their families, to see their sick
00:07:22relatives, for the students to return home to see their
00:07:25parents. the war continues, even if there is no
00:07:29longer news of bombings on the ground and on Iranian territory, trump is
00:07:33scraping the bottom the barrel with this new round of
00:07:36sanctions. the US wants
00:07:40to rule the world by internationalizing internal laws
00:07:43and this is not acceptable, not only when we discuss what
00:07:47is going on in Iran or in west Asia, but also when we
00:07:51refer to what's happening here in Italy. during the
00:07:54meeting with journalists, the Iranian ambassador showed photos

00:08:02to several UNESCO world heritage sites as well as
00:08:06prominent religious and cultural landmarks in his
00:08:09country. Iran's ambassador, had
00:08:12previously addressed another formal letter to pope Leo the
00:08:1614th
00:08:17in July last year, the Iranian diplomat urged the
00:08:20pontif to condemn US president Donald Trump's threats to

00:11:493. The Saudi enemy
00:11:53continues to target civilian. infrastructure and property following
00:11:57the escalation that began on September 3. The reported toll has
00:12:01risen to 304 casualties, including 97
00:12:04fatalities. Women and children account for 60% the
00:12:08casualties. The attacks continue to this day. In the latest
00:12:12incidents, one woman was killed and two others were injured a strike
00:12:16a government complex in Al-Jav Province. In separate
00:12:20attack, ambulance was targeted in Tay's
00:12:23province. Beyond the human
00:12:26tol and the damage on the ground, the continued air strikes
00:12:30raised question about their
00:12:32objectives. The Saudi regime has
00:12:36no clear objectives to pursue. Having failed on the battlefield, it
00:12:40has resorted to targeting civilians in attempt to influence sana's
00:12:43decision making and terrorize the Yemen people. But what this
00:12:47regime fails to understand, is that the more it intensifies its
00:12:51attacks, the more determined Yemenis become to confront it.
00:12:56residents in the affected neighborhood say the strikes have only

00:13:03their determination to

00:23:51That does it for world news bulletin on Press TV, thank you so much for staying with us,
00:23:55goodbye.
00:24:17When you are born on Iranian soil, something is... born with you,
00:24:20the belief that a homeland is not merely a place to live, but
00:24:24sometimes a place you must be willing to die for. the roots of this
00:24:28belief can be found even in the legends of Iran, and perhaps no
00:24:32legend expresses it more powerfully than the story of Arash.
00:24:36after the war between Iran and Turan, it is decided that Iran's
00:24:40new frontier will be determined by the flight of a single arrow.
00:24:43Irash stands at top
00:24:45Mount Damavant. He puts all his strength, all his life into
00:24:49the
00:24:49arrow and releases it. Arash dies, but the arrow flies
00:24:53on. Where did it land? To find the answer, we must leave
00:24:57legend behind and enter history. 330 BC,
00:25:01Alexander had crushed nearly every major power in his path and was
00:25:04advancing toward Presepolis. At the Persian gate, Ario
00:25:08Barzanis stood with around 700 warriors against an army
00:25:12of more than 10,000. They knew that if they resisted, they would
00:25:16die, but they chose an honorable death over life under
00:25:20domination, they stopped Alexander's first assault and forced him to
00:25:24retreat, and for the generations that followed, they left behind a
00:25:27legacy. Resistance means knowing that you may lose your life,
00:25:31yet refusing to let an enemy cross your land without paying a
00:25:35price. two centuries later, this time Rome came from the
00:25:38west. In 53 BC, Krasus invaded Parthian
00:25:42territory with vast army. Facing him stood young
00:25:46commander, Sirena, with his mounted archers and a thousand.
00:25:50camels carrying an endless supply of arrows, syrena filled the
00:25:53skies with a storm of arrows. The Roman army suffered one the
00:25:57most devastating defeats in its history, but for Iranians,
00:26:01land is not the... only frontier, the sea is a frontier
00:26:05too. At the beginning the 16th century, the Portuguese
00:26:08seized Hormus, a small island at the entrance to the Persian
00:26:12Gulf, whose control meant command over one the most important trade
00:26:16roots between east and west. They built fortresses, they brought
00:26:20cannons, and they remained for more than a century. In
00:26:231622, Iranian forces under the command of Imam
00:26:27Koli Khan reached Hormus. After a hard fought siege,
00:26:31Portuguese power in Hormus was broken and the island was
00:26:34retaken, but the Persian Gulf never
00:26:38disappeared from the ambitions of colonial powers. In
00:26:411915, British forces occupied Bucher,
00:26:45against an army backed by warships are against an army backed by
00:26:49warships, artist empires, the people of southern Iran stood
00:26:53with simple rifles. Their resistance was led by a man named
00:26:57Rais Ali Delvari. During the months of occupation, he
00:27:01organized the resistance of the people of Tangistan. For Rais
00:27:04Ali, the question was never how many soldiers stood on either
00:27:08side. The principle was simple: Iranian soil is not
00:27:12negotiable, even if defending it costs your life. Rais
00:27:16Ali was eventually murdered in that struggle. September 3rd,
00:27:20the anniversary of his marturdom, is commemorated in Iran as the
00:27:23National Day of struggle against British colonialism, but the
00:27:27resistance did not end with his death. Years later, British
00:27:31forces finally left. share, yet the ambitions of foreign
00:27:34powers toward Iran did not end
00:27:36there, because Iran also had
00:27:40oil. For decades, much of Iran's oil industry remained under
00:27:44the influence of a British company, until 1951,
00:27:48Mohammed Mosadeg stood against threats, political pressure and
00:27:52economic pressure, and declared, Iran's oil must belong
00:27:56to Iran. The oil industry was nationalized. Two years
00:28:00later, a coup backed directly by the... United States and Britain
00:28:03overthrough his government. Mosadeg was removed from power and spent
00:28:07the remaining years of his life in imprisonment and house arrest, but
00:28:11one demand could no longer be erased: Iran's wealth must
00:28:15remain in Iranian hands: land,
00:28:18water, oil. But now, the issue is no
00:28:22longer only land, water, or oil. It is something greater
00:28:26than all them, independence. The question of who has the right to
00:28:30decide Iran's future in June. 2025, the
00:28:34United States directly attacked Iran's nuclear facilities,
00:28:38and since February 2026, Iran has been engaged in
00:28:41direct military confrontation with the United States and Israel.
00:28:45For months, military and economic pressure has continued, but
00:28:49Iran has never been willing to trade its independence for temporary
00:28:53peace. Bows, arrows and horses have given way to
00:28:56launchers, missiles, tanks,
00:29:00drones and fighter jets, but
00:29:04the blood of arash still runs through Iranian veins, and
00:29:08now let us return to the same question, where did arash's arrow
00:29:12land? the arrow flew more than a thous kilometers all the way
00:29:16to the banks the oxos river. Arash lost his
00:29:19life, but he did not allow the enemy to decide
00:29:23Iran's fate, and that legacy passed
00:29:27from one generation to the next. An Iranian may
00:29:31give his life for his. homeland and independence, but he will never
00:29:35surrender their fate to foreign
00:29:36power.
00:29:58looks like we're finally done here.
00:30:02I wouldn't hold my breath just
00:30:03yet.
