00:00:05mines. International Financial
00:00:09Institution Goldman Sacks has raised its oil price
00:00:12forecast warning that Brent Crude could

00:00:19hormos remains closed. And with the US mid-term
00:00:23elections just today away candidates from both parties are making
00:00:26their final push to win over voters.
00:00:45Hello and welcome everybody, it's half past noon here in the Iranian capital Tehran, you're
00:00:48watching Press TV's world news. Our top story for this half hour, the
00:00:52islamic revolution guards course says two oil tankers are trying to
00:00:56cross the straight of hormosva an illegal route have exploded.
00:01:00after striking naval mines, according to the IRGC Navy statement, one
00:01:04of the vessels was a super tanker which caught fire following powerful
00:01:07explosion as it was transiting the hormo straight through an unauthorized
00:01:11route. the IRGC added that both tankers had turned off their
00:01:15of navigation and automatic identification systems. they were attempting to
00:01:19cross the strategic waterway secretly through an illegal route. with
00:01:22the support
00:01:23of the terrorist American army, but were stopped in place
00:01:27a following the incident. Iran has frequently warned all vessels. and oil tankers
00:01:30against attempting illegal transit roots through the
00:01:33of hormos straight, advising
00:01:34of them not to rely on the US army support.
00:01:38it is also announced time and again that only the roots approved by
00:01:41Iranian forces are safe for hormones transit
00:01:45for hormones
00:01:46transit.
00:01:50of expert saib shah says
00:01:53of Iran's ability to control the straight of hormos proves that it will not allow the US to
00:01:56impose its hegemony over any part
00:01:59of of the Persian Gulf. or west
00:02:03in Asia, the the the sinking
00:02:07of the two tankers today or and four
00:02:11tankers yesterday,
00:02:13of 15 of other tankers days before, that in the state
00:02:17of whether by mines
00:02:19in or
00:02:20in other in missiles
00:02:22of or or other kind of explosions confirm
00:02:26that Iran will not allow the United States of America to impose.
00:02:30its hegemony
00:02:31in over the single inch
00:02:34of of the west ages water, not just the gulf or the straight of
00:02:37hormos, that confirms Iran's
00:02:40force are in control, total control
00:02:43of the strate of hormos, all
00:02:45of the of statements that Trump were issuing about the return of
00:02:49navigation in the street of of hormos to
00:02:53its normal states as before their criminal
00:02:58of war on Iran and the volume
00:03:00he is stating all the time that is the carried by super
00:03:04oil tankers exceed
00:03:06of 20 million barrels per day, that's all prove lies
00:03:10and trump's always sending all
00:03:13of these conflicting messages and
00:03:17of signals about the traffic of of oil in the
00:03:21straight of hormos to play the markets or against
00:03:25of diplomacy with Iran or against intensifying the
00:03:29comp with Iran since he and the zionist
00:03:33of entity are strategically
00:03:35defeated,
00:03:41of
00:03:42of
00:03:47of
00:03:48of hello and welcome to Press TV's news
00:03:52review.
00:03:53of Iran's foreign
00:03:54of ministry spokesperson says the straight of hormos will not reopen
00:03:58de until the US lifts its blockade. and meets Tehran's demand stressing
00:04:01that the ball is now in Washington's court. At his weekly press briefing,
00:04:05Ismail Barroy said the US and Israel responsible for the
00:04:08disruption in the straight of Hormus. He stressed that Washington must meet
00:04:12Iran's demands before any diplomatic process can move
00:04:16forward. Bailey also criticized US pressure on Iran
00:04:20at international forum saying Washington relies
00:04:23of on of force rather than diplomacy to impose its demands.
00:04:27He added that the US records over the past two years is... made Tehran
00:04:30cautious about any new diplomatic process, addressing
00:04:34the possibility of renewed aggression. Bailey said the war against Iran is
00:04:38already underweight with the blockade forming part of it. He stressed that Iran
00:04:42remains prepared for all
00:04:44of possible scenarios. He also warn that Donald Trump's threats to attack Iran's remaining
00:04:48nuclear facility pos serious
00:04:51of threat to the
00:04:53in a international non-proliferation
00:04:54regime.
00:04:59We're joining us on. This edition
00:05:00of the news review
00:05:01of we of have in podcaster and journalist
00:05:03Esha Krishna Swami is joining us from Bangalore, also we have academic research
00:05:07and
00:05:07of author Reza Vedadi joining us from Muscat. Welcome to the
00:05:11program to both of you. Let's start off with Mr. Krishna Swami,
00:05:14of course, so much to unpack here, but uh, in recent
00:05:18comments coming from the foreign ministry spokesperson, uh, the
00:05:22ball is now in Washington's court.
00:05:26Absolutely. I mean, if Washington could
00:05:30actually uh, push past the
00:05:34blockade on the straight of Hormus, they already would have, and if they could
00:05:38have like done more damage to Iranian infrastructure, they would
00:05:41have. and it also show like Friday I heard
00:05:45something really interesting that the first time in 65 years the US
00:05:49army is doing drills on mass casual events, I do
00:05:53drills on bearing over 2, do drills on bearing over
00:05:572,400 soldiers, so they themselves are not
00:06:00very optimistic about their chances against a protracted
00:06:04war, that is stopping them from that is stopping
00:06:08them from removing the blockade in Iran is Trump.
00:06:12bravado and ego about the midterm and
00:06:16so I hope that the midterm results hurt him
00:06:20enough to remove the bravado and ego because that is literally the only
00:06:24thing um Pete Hags who was a big proponent the
00:06:28war with Iran has been firing many generals
00:06:31etc so it has not gone as it's planned
00:06:34and the ball is 100% in Washington's court and all they
00:06:38do have is having to move their navy carriers from the uh
00:06:42Arabic uh sea down to Diego Garcia
00:06:46and lot the conflict will ease up automatically if they do
00:06:50that, but they're refusing to do that.
00:06:53Rezavid Adi: Iran uh, according to the recent
00:06:57comments uh by the foreign ministry spokesperson has conved its
00:07:00demands to the US through mediators, but at the same time
00:07:04Mr. Bai was acknowledging uh even uh alluding
00:07:07to the uh the pressure that the US has put on Iran in international
00:07:11forums. that uh the US is not committed
00:07:15to diplomacy, do
00:07:17you see it in that light as well? well, also
00:07:21there's news that Iran has sent a either delegate or
00:07:25delegation to Qatar to try to find
00:07:28a possible way forward with the seven
00:07:31point plan that Iran has requested. whatever any these
00:07:35cases are, the facts on the ground is that the straight
00:07:39of hormos was open before - end of February when
00:07:43they attacked and killed the Iranian leader, the Iranian children,
00:07:47other Iranian citizen and infrastructure. The only reason it's closed
00:07:51is because Iran, rather than developing nuclear weapon and
00:07:55try to use that against his enemies, is utilizing the straight of
00:07:59hormos, straight of hormos is part of its own territory, it's permitted to do
00:08:03that under all international moral and acts
00:08:07of war, and it's the only way unfortunately the rest the
00:08:10world has to wake up. to the uh empire,
00:08:14to the to the oppressive empire of America, because for
00:08:1847 years the world kind of assisted or turned
00:08:21away from America putting sanctions on Iran, killing
00:08:25Iranian citizens through lack of med access to medicine and
00:08:28infrastructure, so forth, so now the world has to understand that if
00:08:32Iran is going to have a blockade around it, it's going to
00:08:36suffer sanctions and so forth, the rest the world either suffers
00:08:39with Iran in the sense that you know all the... prices of going up,
00:08:43lack of commodities, or that the rest the world also needs to stand up, and that's
00:08:47what we're seeing
00:08:48in Europe, and that's why Europe is burning
00:08:52right now, literally burning because the acts the United
00:08:55States. Miss Krishna Swami, Iran has time and again said
00:08:59that the US and Israel are responsible for the
00:09:02disruptions in the straight of hormos, and in fact
00:09:06it is uh the US Israeli alliance
00:09:10that is the source of insecurity. in the Persian Gulf, am I
00:09:14right? They are absolutely
00:09:17right, because the US and the Israel not only started
00:09:21hostilities this year, but they started it last year,
00:09:25and Iran has every right to control its water way,
00:09:29like the US, even though the US didn't have a right to control the Panama
00:09:32Canal, they controlled it for over 100 years. Iraan
00:09:36definitely has the right to control the waterway within the
00:09:40straight of Hormus and... and actually Iran had
00:09:44permitted free travel since 1979 and the only thing
00:09:47that's different is US Israel air strikes that have been
00:09:51indiscriminate, they've been hitting schools, hospitals, civilian
00:09:54infrastructures, in fact they've been targeting them in overall like
00:09:58weapons depot, so you know that their purpose is to call
00:10:02cause maximum civilian destruction in hopes of regime change, and then
00:10:06they have no military objective, meanwhile on the Iran side,
00:10:10Iran has been hitting the al Udaid.
00:10:14in UAE and the NSA base in Bahrain
00:10:17which has has given logistical hardships because the
00:10:21US now needs to go all the way down south to diego Garcia. to
00:10:25refuel, so just the difference in the con conduct of
00:10:28how precisely Iran has been in hitting military
00:10:32targets versus how indiscriminate US Israeli regimes have been
00:10:36in hitting civilian targets shows that they are 100%
00:10:40responsible for any consequences that has been caused and
00:10:44Iran has every right to put any kind of pressure they want
00:10:48to stop this illegal and illegal war against every
00:10:52UN convention of law and immoral.
00:10:55immoral war against every
00:10:58single convention of morality and Iran has every
00:11:02right to do that. Reza Vedadi, another comment that's been echoed
00:11:06uh many times over by Iranian officials is that Tehran will not
00:11:10tolerate uh the use of neighboring countries
00:11:12territory uh in aggression against
00:11:16Iran allowing um another country to
00:11:19use a country's soil to launch
00:11:23attack a third party, that's in contravention of
00:11:27international law, but responding to those
00:11:30attacks, that's not, so if you
00:11:34remember in the 60s under president Kennedy,
00:11:38the Russians had the Soviets had placed
00:11:42nuclear missiles on Cuba and the US
00:11:46had threatened not just the Soviet, but
00:11:49Cubans with nuclear war if those missiles were not
00:11:53removed, so now... have the United States utilizing
00:11:57bases that most most them have been destroyed around Iran,
00:12:00but utilizing bases in the uh in the countries that are
00:12:04neighboring Iran, and the countries and and the United
00:12:08States and Europeans are upset if Iran defends itself, but then we are
00:12:12a stage in human history where there is no international
00:12:16law, it's only the law the jungle, and if you
00:12:19remember the foreign minister of EU stated
00:12:23this year
00:12:23or two ago
00:12:24that the... world outside of Europe, EU is a jungle and inside is a
00:12:28garden, so if the world is a jungle, then who survives in the jungle, the one
00:12:32who's strong, and Iran has to demonstrate that its capabilities, and I think
00:12:36that's why the Saudis and the turks and the Pakistanis went to Iran a few days
00:12:40ago, but these countries are kind of stuck a, but these
00:12:43countries are kind of stuck a between rock and a hard place,
00:12:47once they're so attached to the United States leadership, that they're either too
00:12:51afraid or just don't have the courage, or maybe in some ways they sup
00:12:55the war on Iran, any case, whatever the case is, whatever the reasons
00:12:59why
00:12:59they allow their countries to be used against Iran, they have to know that they will be
00:13:03repercussions and those repercussions will be so vast that it could either
00:13:07cause regime change or total destruction the infrastructures
00:13:10their countries. All right, we're going to leave it there. Thanks to my guests
00:13:14esha Krishna Swami, podcaster and journalist, speaking
00:13:17to us from Bangalore, and also thanks to academic research and author re
00:13:21joining us from Muscat. That's up for this today. of
00:13:25pressv's news review, but stick around, we got plenty more to
00:13:28come.
00:13:41moving on, international banking giant goldman saxs has raised its oil
00:13:45price forecast warning that brent crew could search to
00:13:48$140 a barrel in 2027 if the straight of hormos
00:13:52remains closed. goldman sacks said prices could... surge to that
00:13:55level, if oil output across the Persian Golf remains 3.5
00:13:59million barrels per day below its 2025 average, the warning comes
00:14:03in a continued uncertainty over the US, Israeli war on Iran and the
00:14:07impact on the global energy supplies. Since the aggression
00:14:10began in February and Iran's subsequent closure the straight of hormo's
00:14:14oil prices have climbed sharply before the closure more than fifth
00:14:18the world's oil and gas supplies passed through the strategic
00:14:22waterway.
00:14:27Families of Iranians killed during the 12-day war have taken their demands
00:14:31uh for justice to a court room in Tehran the first public hearing has
00:14:35opened at branch 55 of Tehran's court for international
00:14:39affairs where 130 lawsuits are seeking
00:14:42compensation for the United States from the United States and Israel
00:14:4555 the cases concerned victims the Israeli attack on eving prison
00:14:49which Iranian authorities say killed 71 people. Gisumi shahani
00:14:53reports.
00:14:57many lives lost, families left grieving, and now a
00:15:01courtroom filled with demands for justice. months after an
00:15:05Israeli air strike devastated parts of Tehran's even prison,
00:15:08families the marters are seeking compensation and legal
00:15:12accountability.
00:15:16the first public
00:15:18Today marks hearing a legal proceedings concerning the attack on Evan
00:15:21Prison. We are representing the families of victims the... day
00:15:25war a total of 130 lawsuits,
00:15:2855 of which specifically concern the attack on Evan
00:15:32Prison. The first public hearing is taking place at
00:15:36branch 55 of According to authorities, 71
00:15:40people were killed in that
00:15:41strike.
00:15:46Evain prison is a civilian facility, and targeting it with fighter
00:15:50jets constitutes violation of international law,
00:15:53particularly international humanitarian law. Such attacks amount to
00:15:57war crimes and other serious violations of international
00:16:00law. Today, the families are asking the court to examine
00:16:04the evidence and determine legal responsib.
00:16:37"We have been waiting for this hearing for very long time because we want justice
00:16:41for those who lost their lives and for their families. We want the law to be
00:16:45upheld, and we want those responsible for these crimes to be held
00:16:49accountable. The destruction of civilian facilities and the
00:16:53loss of lives have raised serious questions under
00:16:56international humanitarian law.
00:17:00Prisons are civilian facilities and are protected under
00:17:04international humanitarian law. Deliberately targeting them. In
00:17:07violation of that protection constitutes a war
00:17:11crime. Unfortunately, even the prison's medical center was
00:17:14struck during the attack. That is why these legal proceedings are so
00:17:18important. Some of our most experienced lawyers are handling this
00:17:22case, and the court's eventual ruling could be a significant
00:17:25step toward securing justice for the victims and their
00:17:29families. The lawyers say the lawsuits are intended not only
00:17:33to secure compensation, but to establish legal
00:17:36record the. taxs and their consequences. For
00:17:40these families, no courts ruling can bring back their loved ones, but
00:17:44they hope that these proceedings will open new avenues and their pursuit of
00:17:47justice. Gisum shahmadi Press TV,

00:17:54Iranian foreign ministerchi has arrived ashhrabad, the capital of
00:17:58Turkmenistan for an official visit.
00:18:01Sch scheduled talks with senior Turkmen officials, Iran says it seeks to
00:18:04enhance bilateral cooperation in different. sectors including
00:18:08energy. Adolchi last visited Turkmenistan in June
00:18:122025 when he held talks with his Turkmen Counterpart,
00:18:16Rashid
00:18:16Meridolf.
00:18:22And with US Midterms, just a day away candidates are making their final push
00:18:25to win over
00:18:26voters.
00:18:30My focus has never wavered. I have been clear about what our
00:18:34responsibilities are, so rather than focus. a distraction
00:18:38about who said what to whom, where they went. I've been
00:18:41consistent. I want to get money out of politics.
00:18:45I want to put money back in pockets. I want medicare for
00:18:49all. I want to take on the heinous price of gas, the ridiculous
00:18:53price of groceries. The fact that people in the richest, most powerful country in the world cannot see
00:18:56doctor. The notion that we should continue to breathe unclean air
00:19:00or unclean water. That has been the focus of this campaign since April of
00:19:042025 when we kicked it off. It's what we said in. rooms across the
00:19:08state, 700 public events, 120 different cities now, it's what i've
00:19:12said in every interview with probably every single one of
00:19:14you right, it's
00:19:15what i said on tv, it's
00:19:16what i said, i was trying
00:19:17to fall asleep at night, it is the goal of this campaign, it's tough, you all
00:19:21know it's tough right now and and we can really
00:19:24change
00:19:25the this country for the better, it's not just this election right
00:19:29here, it's about all across united states you're seeing people uh
00:19:33that are sick and tired of you the billionaires getting what they want
00:19:37while most of us have to pick up the
00:19:38scraps.
00:19:42Democratic and Republican candidates traded sharp attacks during debates
00:19:46and campaign rallies with the war on Iran and its economic consequences
00:19:50in the US among the key issues. According to the latest survey, democrats continue to hold
00:19:54an edge over Republicans. However, several closely
00:19:58contested senate races could determine which party takes control of
00:20:01Congress. Democrats need to flip four Republican held
00:20:05seats to gain control. the senate while defending
00:20:09their own seats in key states such as Michigan, Georgia and New
00:20:13Hampshire, several states including Texas and California are seeking, or
00:20:17rather seeing closely contested house races with competitive
00:20:21contests taking place across the
00:20:23country.
00:20:27The Israeli military has carried out fresh deadly strikes on the
00:20:31gauza strip and yet another violation of a cease fire the regime signed with Hamas
00:20:35year ago. Drone attacks. to central and southern parts the
00:20:39coastal strip, killing three and injuring four others. Israeli
00:20:42strikes have been killing gazens, many them children almost a daily
00:20:46basis since the genocide began the years ago on attack
00:20:50a Mawasi area of khanyudes killed nine Palestinians, one the
00:20:54victims was four-year-old boy and five were
00:20:57policemen. The Israeli genocide in Gaza has killed over
00:21:0174,500 people since October 2023, at least
00:21:041500 them were killed since
00:21:07the uh cease fire of last
00:21:11year. We
00:21:15hearlier talk to journalists and political commentators said Mosanabus, he said Israel's
00:21:19actions. Gaza are justified by rabbinical
00:21:22endorsements of violence as Jewish supremacist views have
00:21:26been openly expressed by the regime's criminal prime minister and
00:21:30extremist
00:21:31officials.
00:21:35They have rubinical and religious sanctioning of
00:21:39murder basically, and they are
00:21:42fundamentally sick, not just psychotic because that almost lets them
00:21:46off the hook, they willfully, because that almost lets them off the hook, they will.
00:21:50willfully uh evil, that's really the only way I can
00:21:54describe it, and I supposed to zionism, because zionism
00:21:58isn't even something they necessarily push, isn't even something they
00:22:01necessarily push or plug anymore, they are Jewish supremacist, ben gabers
00:22:05has said it, Nahu said it, they all subscribe to a Jewish
00:22:09state which is hellbent on ethnic cleansing
00:22:12and wiping
00:22:13out Palestinians by Howko Crook, can you imagine during the
00:22:17truce, during a ceasefire uh "this
00:22:20entity has managed to injure at least
00:22:23500 to 300, 5,200 uh
00:22:26Palestinians, they've killed reportedly
00:22:301080, and those are very conservative estimates by because I
00:22:33always look at the the figures that are given by uh these

00:26:56teaching anywhere in the world shares a common language, a love
00:27:00beyond duty and heart that beats for the fate of
00:27:04children. when you are teacher, every morning you leave all your
00:27:07personal pain behind the classroom door to create
00:27:11safe world for other people's children. on February
00:27:1528th, 2026, in Iran a school in Minab was
00:27:18experiencing its usual calm. Fatima
00:27:22Shahdadi, an energetic sports coach who saw the world through the
00:27:26joyful eyes of her students and Faride Mokhtari,
00:27:29dignified and kind teacher were present in. admits the
00:27:32children's bustling chatter, but this innocent routine
00:27:36suddenly turned into dust and ashes with the terrifying roar of
00:27:40missiles, deadly strikes that targeted civilians and educational
00:27:44centers during military attacks by Israel and the United States,
00:27:48collapsing the school's roof over the children and
00:27:51teachers. At the moment the ground shook beneath their
00:27:55feed and rubble and smoke filled the air, survival instinct dictated
00:27:58that everyone should look for escape route to save their... own
00:28:02lives, but for Fatima and Faid, time stood still a
00:28:06different way. In those seconds of terror and screams, only one
00:28:10image was etched in the minds these women, the
00:28:13children. They ran toward the center the fire and
00:28:17danger. Amit the cries of children trapped alone in the flames,
00:28:21they did not survive to return to their classrooms. The
00:28:24next day, both teachers lost their lives right there in the school's
00:28:28courtyard and hallways giving everything to save the children.
00:28:32and of others. Behind the names
00:28:36these two teachers lay two lives filled with hope and
00:28:40attachment, women who lived like millions of others, yet
00:28:43gave meaning to self-sacrifice in the face of tragedy. Days
00:28:47after the disaster, among fida's few remaining keepsaks, a
00:28:51short will was found alongside pair of earrings she had given
00:28:55to her mother before the incident, as if her heart sense this
00:28:58journey had no return. Fatima's family to remembers.
00:29:02with grand dreams and heart overflowing with dedication to
00:29:06serve, today no trace remains these classrooms or the
00:29:10laughter filled courtyard, yet the names of Fatima Shahdadi,
00:29:14Faride Mokhtari and dozens of other teachers who fell
00:29:17victim to these devastating attacks have become symbols of
00:29:21humanity's endurance against the violence of war,
00:29:25educators who embrace death to gift their students the right to
00:29:29live and learn.
00:30:03Good evening, welcome to spotlight here on Press TV. I am
00:30:07Bahman. As diplomatic efforts continue to avert another
00:30:10military confrontation between Iran and the United States,
00:30:14tensions remain dangerously high with Tehran warning that any
00:30:18renewed American aggression could trigger a conflict extend
00:30:22extending far beyond West Asia. Iranian and Qatari
00:30:25officials have been engaging intensive consultations in Doha with a
00:30:29proposed two-day arrangement to reopen the straight.
00:30:32the for moves emerging as a potential breakthrough, yet
