00:00:26of
00:00:38of early good evening
00:00:42fromray and this is press tv news. the
00:00:46deputy secretary of Iran Supreme National Security Council
00:00:50is emphasized that arran will
00:00:52of make no compromise in defending its
00:00:54of sovereignty of and national security. Ali made the remarks during
00:00:58talks with China's foreign stay in Beijing, he discussed the
00:01:02consequences
00:01:02of the US Israel aggression against Iran, Teran's diplomatic
00:01:06initiatives to end the war as well as regional security.
00:01:10The senior security official described the attacks on Iran and the
00:01:14assassination
00:01:14of the leader
00:01:15of the Islamic Revolution and his
00:01:17of family as unforgettable crimes. He noted that these are war
00:01:21crimes that must
00:01:22of not be allowed to be committed ever again. Meanwile,
00:01:26in Oman Sultan is also visiting Beijing, according to Almayadin.
00:01:30The trilateral talks involving
00:01:32of Iran, Oman and China
00:01:33in are on the way, focusing on Oman's renewed mediation between Tehwan
00:01:37and Washington to be backed by Chinese economic and
00:01:41security
00:01:42of guarantees. Iran's
00:01:46foreign ministry spokesperson says the straight of hermus will not
00:01:49reopen until the US lifts its blockade and meets
00:01:53Teran's demand stressing
00:01:54that the ball is now in
00:01:56of Washington's court.
00:02:00of Implementing these demands is
00:02:02of essential of to restoring regional security. You cannot express concern over
00:02:06security in the straight of Hormus
00:02:07of while continuing to impose economic blockade on Iran, disregarding the
00:02:11commitments made under the Islamabad understanding, and expecting Terran to
00:02:15make unilateral concessions. Such a
00:02:17of one-sided arrangement would clearly be unsustainable. Iran's insistance that its
00:02:21demands be met first is therefore not merely about advancing its own national
00:02:25interests. It is
00:02:26a reasonable approach aimed at helping restore security
00:02:29of in the straight. hormas and across the persian gulf
00:02:31of region
00:02:35at his weekly press briefing said the US and Israel are
00:02:38responsible for the disruption in the straight of
00:02:42of hormos. He also rejected the possibility of transferring Iran's enrich
00:02:46uranium abroad saying Tehron would not agree to such
00:02:49in move, but I acknowledged that the question of withdrawal from the NPT is
00:02:53the genuine issue under discussion, but emphasized that at the decision
00:02:57making level Iran remains a the treaty and considers
00:03:01itself bound by its commitments addressing the possibility
00:03:05of renewed aggression by guy said the war against Iran is
00:03:08in already on the way with the blockade forming a part of it, he stressed
00:03:12that Iran remains prepared for all possible
00:03:15scenarios.
00:03:21We were earlier joined by Rasa Vedadi, academic researcher and
00:03:25author who says the disruption in the straight of hormos is a
00:03:28consequence
00:03:29of the US Israel aggression
00:03:31of against theran with the whole world now suffering from the
00:03:33fallout,
00:03:37the straight of hormos was open before end of
00:03:41February when they attacked and killed the Iranian
00:03:44of leader, the Iranian children, other Iranian citizen and infrastructure,
00:03:48the only
00:03:49of reason it's closed is because Iran rather than developing nuclear
00:03:53weapon and try to use that against his enemies is
00:03:57of utilizing the straight of hormos, straight of hormos is of his own territory, it's
00:04:01permitted to do that under all international moral
00:04:04and acts of war, and it's the
00:04:07in only way unfortunately the rest
00:04:09of the world has to wake up to the
00:04:12empire,
00:04:13of to the to the oppressive empire of America, because
00:04:17for 47 years the world kind of assisted or turned
00:04:20away from America putting sanctions on Iran, killing
00:04:23Iranian citizens through lack of
00:04:25a med access to medicine and infrastructure so forth, so now the world
00:04:29has to... understand that if Iran is going to have a
00:04:33blockade around it, it's going to suffer sanctions and so forth, the rest
00:04:36of the world either suffers with Iran in the sense that
00:04:40you know all the prices are going up, lack of commodities, or that the rest
00:04:44of the world also needs to stand up, and that's what we're seeing in Europe, and that's
00:04:48why Europe is burning right now,
00:04:51literally burning because
00:04:53of the acts
00:04:53of the United
00:04:54States,
00:04:58international banking giant goldman. Zax has raised its oil
00:05:01price forecast warning that Brent Crude could search
00:05:04to $140 a barrel in 2027 if
00:05:08the straight of hormos remains closed. Goldman Sacks said prices.
00:05:12could surge to that level if oil output across the Persian gulf
00:05:16remains 3.5 million barrels per day below its
00:05:20225 average. The warning comes in continued
00:05:23uncertainty the US-Israely war on Iran and the impact
00:05:27on global energy supplies. Since the aggression began in February
00:05:31and Iran's subsequent closure the straight of hormos oil prices
00:05:35have climbed sharply before the closure more than fifth the world's
00:05:39oil and gas supplies passed through the strategy.
00:05:42waterway, families
00:05:46of Iranians killed during the 12 day war have taken their demands for
00:05:50justice to a courtroom in Tehran. The first public hearing has
00:05:54opened at branch 55 of Teran's court for international
00:05:58affairs where 130 lawsuits are seeking
00:06:01compensation from the US and Israel. 55 the
00:06:05cases concerned victims the Israely attack a vin prison which
00:06:09Iranian authorities say killed 71.
00:06:36Today marks the first public hearing a legal proceedings
00:06:39concerning the attack on Evan prison. We are
00:06:43representing the families of victims the 12-day war a total of
00:06:47130 lawsuits, 55 of which specifically
00:06:50concern the attack on Evan prison. The first
00:06:54public hearing is taking place at branch 55 of Terron's
00:06:58court for international affairs. According to authorities,
00:07:0271 people were killed in that
00:07:04strike. Evan prison is a civilian
00:07:08facility and targeting it with fighter jets constitutes
00:07:11violation of. international law, particularly international
00:07:15humanitarian law, such attacks amount to war crimes and
00:07:18other serious violations of international law, today the
00:07:22families are asking the court, legal
00:07:24responsibility, legal
00:07:27responsibility, my mother,
00:07:31my brothers and sisters and
00:07:33i have been going through incredibly difficult time emotionally, life
00:07:36without our father has been extremely hard, our lives have changed
00:07:40forever,
00:08:12and facilities and the loss of lives have raised serious
00:08:16questions under international humanitarian
00:08:18law. prisons are civilian
00:08:22facilities and are protected under international humanitarian
00:08:25law. deliberately targeting them in violation of that
00:08:28protection constitutes a war crime.
00:08:32unfortunately, even the prison's medical center was struck during the
00:08:35attack. that is why these legal proceedings are so important.
00:08:39some of our most experienced lawyers are handling this case. and the court
00:08:43eventual ruling could be a significant step towards securing
00:08:47justice for the victims and their families. the lawyers say the
00:08:51lawsuits are intended not only to secure compensation, but
00:08:55to establish legal record the attacks and their
00:08:58consequences. for these families, no court ruling can bring
00:09:02back their loved ones, but they hope that these proceedings will open new
00:09:06avenues and their pursuit of justice. gisum shahmadi

00:09:13Iran and Turkmenistan stressed developing cooperation in various
00:09:17areas of mutual interest in a meeting ashkabad foreign minister
00:09:21Abasar Ak counterpart Rashid Meradoff
00:09:25reviewed the latest state of relations between the two countries
00:09:28both emphasized leveraging capacities to develop cooperation
00:09:32in various the historical ties between the two nations that the historical
00:09:36ties between the two nations serve as the foundation for
00:09:40advancing relations. also loaded expanding ties with
00:09:44Iran in commercial, political and cultural fields,
00:09:47bilateral relations, regional and international developments were also
00:09:51among the main topics of
00:09:52discussion.
00:09:59With the US mid-term elections, just a day away candidates are making the
00:10:03final push to win over
00:10:06voters.
00:10:10My focus has never wavered. I have been clear about what our
00:10:14responsibilities are, so rather than focus a distraction
00:10:18about who said what to whom, where they went, I've been
00:10:21consistent, I want to get money out of politics.
00:10:25"I want to put money out of politics. I want to put money back in
00:10:29pockets. I want medicare for the gas, the ridiculous price of
00:10:32groceries. The fact that people in the richest, most powerful country in the world cannot see
00:10:36doctor. The notion that we should continue to breathe unclean air
00:10:40or unclean water. That has been the focus of this campaign since April of
00:10:432025 when we kicked it off. It's what we said in rooms across the
00:10:47state, 700 public events, 120 different cities now. It's what
00:10:51I've said in every interview with probably every single one of you, right? It's..." I said on
00:10:55TV, it's what I said,
00:10:56I was trying to fall asleep at night. It is the goal of this campaign. It's tough,
00:11:00you all know, it's tough right now, and and we can really
00:11:04change
00:11:05the this country for the better. It's not just this election right
00:11:08here, it's about all across United States, you're seeing people uh
00:11:12that are sick and tired of millionaires getting what they want, while
00:11:16the rest of us have to pick up the
00:11:18scraps.
00:11:21Democratic and Republican candidates traded sharp attacks to...
00:11:25debates and campaign rallies with the war on Iran and its economic
00:11:29consequences in the US among the key issues. According to the
00:11:32later survey, democrats continue to hold the netge over the
00:11:36Republicans. However, several closely contested senate
00:11:39races could determine which party takes control the congress.
00:11:43Democrats need to flip four Republican eld seats to gain control
00:11:47the Senate while defending their own seats in key states such as
00:11:51Michigan, Georgia and New Hampshire. Several states include
00:11:55Texas and California are seeing closely contested house
00:11:58races with competitive contest taking place across the
00:12:02country. The battle
00:12:06for control the Congress is becoming a contest of
00:12:09unprecedented financial proportions with wealthy donors
00:12:13and powerful lobbying networks pouring millions into key
00:12:16races. Among the biggest players is the pro Israel lobby whose
00:12:20growing role in campaign financing is raising questions about
00:12:24money. political influence and the future the US policy towards
00:12:28Israel.
00:12:32the 2026 US mid-term elections are the most expensive in
00:12:36American history, with campaign spending exceeding even that of recent
00:12:39presidential elections, billions of dollars are pouring into congressional
00:12:43races, but behind the unprecedented spending battle is another powerful
00:12:47force, wealthy donors and lobbyng networks seeking to shape Washington's political
00:12:51agenda, pro Israel organizations led by Apec, having
00:12:55emerged as major financial players investing heavily races involving
00:12:58candidates who challenge unconditional US support for Israel. According
00:13:02to the latest data, spending on political advertisements and reservations
00:13:06reached 11.21 billion dollars by October 26th, compared
00:13:10with approximately $3.2 billion during the 2024
00:13:13presidential election season. The figures underlined the extraordinary financial
00:13:17scale of this year's midterms. While billionaire donors such as Elon Musk,
00:13:21George Soros and Michael Bloomberg are financing candidates. across party
00:13:25lines, money connected to the pro Israel lobby has become particularly
00:13:29influential in congressional contests. At the center of this network is the
00:13:33American Israel public affairs committee or APAC and its affiliated
00:13:37super pack, the United Democracy Project. The ladder raised
00:13:40approximately $104 million during the 2026 election
00:13:44cycle through June, already exceeding its entire fundraising total for
00:13:482024. Much of this money has gone into primary
00:13:51contests where outside spending can determine which candidates advanced.
00:13:55to the general election. In Michigan, Apax political network spent
00:13:59more than $30 million dollars in the Democratic Senate primary, backing
00:14:02Congresswoman Haley Stevens against Abdul El Saied who was critical of
00:14:06United States support for Israel. Elsayed ultimately won the
00:14:10nomination, despite the massive financial campaign against him. The influence
00:14:14these organizations extends beyond Michigan. In Illinois, apec
00:14:18affiliated groups poured millions into congressional primaries targeting candidates
00:14:22critical of Israel. In Kentucky, the United Democracy project
00:14:26spent millions opposing Republican Congressman Thomas Massy, another
00:14:30vocal critic of US policy toward Israel. The stakes are particularly
00:14:33high in Texas, Ohio and Michigan, which rank among the most expensive
00:14:37Senate contests the election cycle. More than 534
00:14:41million dollars has been spent on the Texas race alone, while spending in Ohio has
00:14:45exceeded $435 million
00:14:47dollars in Michigan Senate contest has attracted approximately $333
00:14:51million. The record spending raises a fundamental question.
00:14:55"how much influence should wealthy donors and powerful lobbying organizations have over
00:14:59the people elected to represent ordinary voters, and when it comes to
00:15:02Washington's policy toward Israel, how much of that political agenda is
00:15:06being shaped by financial pressure rather than public
00:15:09opinion?
00:15:13French students have resumed blocking schools throughout the country after
00:15:17their return from two week quality. The head of a student union said the
00:15:21government's proposals fell short of expectations and..." fail to
00:15:25address their demands and fail to address their demands, the
00:15:29blockades are expected to expand on the country. french
00:15:32president schools to resume classes
00:15:36pointing to new... measures aimed that tackling the
00:15:39education crisis. France has been gripped by nationwide
00:15:43anti-government protest since September the 17th, when
00:15:47student let demonstrations of poor school conditions began.
00:15:51The movement has since wide and to include anger over the rising cost of
00:15:54living and soaring fuel prices with protesters also
00:15:58demanding Macron's resignation. Human rights groups have accused
00:16:02police of using disproportionate measures to suppress the
00:16:06demonstrations. reporting that several teenagers have
00:16:09suffered severe warlike injuries from police
00:16:12weapons.
00:16:16political commentator Dr. Mustafa Traura says protesters in
00:16:20France want the government to prioritize education of
00:16:24foreign
00:16:24aid.
00:16:29According to the experts, what was
00:16:32given by the government is not enough,
00:16:35but the government decide. or accepted to give to the
00:16:39students is not enough, so this is what they carry on
00:16:42with the protest, the claims from the
00:16:46students have been existing for many years now,
00:16:50so it is, if you look 10 years
00:16:53ago, the the universities and the schools were in
00:16:57very poor conditions, but they were not complaining, but I
00:17:01think now we brich new era
00:17:05where - students are more... um conscious
00:17:08of what is happening, especially I think this one has to be linked
00:17:12to foreign policy as well, they hear lots
00:17:16of money given to Ukraine and
00:17:18they ask themselves, okay we give all these money to Ukraine, but look at
00:17:22the condition, the conditions of
00:17:25our education system, so this is why
00:17:29they are complaining in my opinion, there are lots of things they do not
00:17:32understand and at the same time they see that the
00:17:35purchasing power of... their parents is is
00:17:39declining, okay, and we know that students who go to
00:17:43university as well, they are struggling to make ends
00:17:46meet, so I think it is all this that the gover
00:17:50government has to deal with, and it's bit complicated for the
00:17:54government to deal with all these issues, especially
00:17:57because the government has very
00:18:00few months left before the
00:18:03elections.
00:18:07And with that we come to the end of this news bulletin, thank you so much for staying with us
00:18:11on Press
00:18:12TV.
00:18:32Crisis devastating wars,
00:18:36terrorism. The Israeli
00:18:39lobby,
00:18:42crackdown,
00:18:47diplomacy.
00:18:52Iran prepared for any
00:18:54scenario.
00:19:07And...
00:21:50and the heavy defeats suffered by the United States, many people
00:21:54have come to realize that the Americans are not only
00:21:57incapable of providing security, but are actually
00:22:00source of insecurity. This realization has become
00:22:04particularly significant in light of Israel's illegitimate
00:22:08acts of aggression against Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and
00:22:12Jordan. These developments together with the Iranian nation's
00:22:15victories have raised an important question: what will the
00:22:19field? future order of this region look like, what
00:22:23security arrangements will be needed to govern these
00:22:2625 countries in west Asia, what kind of
00:22:30security system will emerge and how will it be
00:22:33established? alongside this question, new perception is
00:22:37taking shape, the united states may withdraw from the region in the
00:22:40coming years, who will replace it? will it be china and
00:22:44russia or
00:22:45the countries the region themselves? could Israel establish a
00:22:48proxy hegem? behalf the US, so two very
00:22:52important questions have emerged, the reason these questions have
00:22:56arisen is the Iranian nations resistance, the heavy
00:22:59defeat suffered by the United States and the weakness it
00:23:03is exposed. first and foremost this demonstrates the
00:23:07greatness the Iranian nation. it means that the Iranian nation
00:23:11has the ability to determine the fate of superpowers and
00:23:14decide their future. the americans wanted to instill fear
00:23:18in the hearts their. people, instead parts the Iranian
00:23:22people, instead, the nation dealt them a tremendous
00:23:26of this resistance have spread throughout Europe. I'll
00:23:30probably refer to some the statements made by Macron and the
00:23:34German chancellor during this interview. Several
00:23:37initiatives are now underway. One is the move made by Mr.
00:23:41Rubia, went to Italy and effectively set in motion Europe's
00:23:45return to west Asia led by Britain to replace the
00:23:49United States. Second, China and other countries east
00:23:52Asia are looking for ways to establish a presence
00:23:56in this region. Even Trump, addition to Israel had come to
00:24:00the conclusion that perhaps he could establish an alternative
00:24:04arrangement using countries that maintain friendly
00:24:07relations with the United States. That is why they're
00:24:11seeking to establish various pacts. However, the
00:24:14efforts made over roughly the past one or two
00:24:18years have demonstrated that... unless the voice the Iranian
00:24:21nation is heard, no pact will take hold and no
00:24:25alliance will be formed. Therefore, whatever
00:24:28security arrangements emerge, Iran must have its rightful
00:24:32place in them. That is why these friends came to us. We
00:24:36hadn't invited them, they themselves requested to come and meet with
00:24:40us so that we could discuss regional arrangements together.
00:24:44During the talks, we did not discuss the Mecca pact, nor did
00:24:48we discuss the issue of Yemen.
00:25:20Mr. Amir Khalid said that after Israel comes after you, it
00:25:24will turn its attention to Turkey and after that it will come after
00:25:28us, that is Saudi Arabia, Mr. Ibrahim, that is Saudi
00:25:31Arabia, Mr. Ibrahim Kalin, the head of Turkey's
00:25:35intelligence, very strong position. Mr. Assim
00:25:39Muner spoke about the threat posed by Israel and emerging
00:25:42alliance between Hindus and Jews against Muslims and
00:25:46even against Pakistan. These statements reflect inform. information
00:25:50and concerns they themselves have regarding Israel's
00:25:54future intentions, and of course this helped us reach a good
00:25:58understanding. We discussed making the defense of Muslims
00:26:01against Israel. a priority as well as Israel's
00:26:05withdrawal from southern Lebanon and southern Syria and the issues
00:26:09of Gaza and the West Bank. The statement we issued made clear
00:26:13that this was the first meeting the four countries to discuss
00:26:16regional arrangements. God willing these meetings will continue in
00:26:20the future. It was also agreed that the foreign ministers these
00:26:24three countries would probably visit Iran again. In
00:26:28fact, the Tehran meeting itself will, God willing, evolve into
00:26:32a... new regional arrangement, that is precisely what we
00:26:36want. We believe that foreign powers must leave the region
00:26:40and that the countries the region themselves must safeguard their own
00:26:43security. I also offered some explanations about why
00:26:47unit is essential for security and why division leads to
00:26:51insecurity. I give a brief historical account the periods
00:26:55involving the Soviet Union and the United States, Britain
00:26:59and Russia as well as other countries that came into this.
00:28:02plans, they also had information their own, but the details
00:28:06I provided helped them gain a clear understanding the
00:28:10situation. In effect, it became clear that if a
00:28:14country like Iran can stand firm against
00:28:17500 native flights into the region, against the
00:28:20entire American military and against the full might of Israel
00:28:24all its own, then imagine what could achieve
00:28:28if all four of our countries stood together.
00:28:32"our combined strength would be far greater and we could
00:28:36establish lasting security throughout the region.
00:28:40In my view, it became clear that Iran has an important
00:28:43place in the region's future and that security simply cannot
00:28:47be established without Iran. Iran must absolutely be
00:28:51involved any regional arrangements that take
00:28:55shape.

00:29:32even described it by saying that Netanyahu had carried out the
00:29:36dirty work that Europe wanted to do, they were practically on the
00:29:40verge of throwing the celebration, but what are they saying
00:29:43today? now both Macron and the German chancellor are
00:29:47saying that the war waged against Iran has confronted Europe
00:29:51with enormous problems. Macron is even saying that the
00:29:54events currently taking place in the streets of France
00:29:58are consequence the war against Iran. Germany said,
00:30:02that its economic problems stem from the war against Iran.
00:30:06A short while ago, Zelinsky said that the rise in diesel
00:30:10prices was connected to the straight of hormos. Mr.
00:30:13Trump, why are you pointing people in the wrong direction? Now
00:30:17consider this, when a war against Iran has such far
00:30:21reaching international repercussions and affects the lives of
00:30:25people throughout the entire world. There must be reason for
00:30:29it. That reason is the Iranian nation's resistance.
00:30:32victories it has achieved and Iran's position on the global
00:30:36economic map. It is not the case that when something happens
00:30:40to the Iranian nation, only the Iranian people suffer the
00:30:43consequences. The entire world suffers. Look at what's
00:30:47happening in the US right now. Wherever Mr. Trump's goes to
00:30:51deliver an election related or campaign speech, he has to
00:30:55answer the same question, without exception. Why did he
00:30:59start the?
