00:00:41a Hello
00:00:45anyone, welcome to press tv
00:00:47of world news live from Tehran, with me Zainab Zakaria, thank you for joining
00:00:50us, the commander
00:00:54of of the Islamic Revolution Guard course Court force has won the US against
00:00:58repeating past miscalculation. stressing that the resistance
00:01:02front is united across the region. brigador general Ismail
00:01:05Khani said the
00:01:07of necessistic president
00:01:07of the United States was deceived by the evil prime minister of
00:01:11Israel to start his gamble like war with Iran. The
00:01:15general noted that the result of
00:01:17of Washington's aggression was the loss
00:01:19of of of the United States
00:01:24of of 250 year old credit and losing the straight of Urmus. Kahne added that due to the
00:01:25a US obstinity over the Hormus Strate, it has also lost
00:01:29baublement. dep straight to the resistance front, he wanted following the
00:01:33message issued by the leader
00:01:34of the Islamic Revolution, if the US continues it
00:01:38gamble like behavior in the war, it will receive drastic
00:01:42blows from the resistance front. In his Wednesday message, Iyat
00:01:46said Musab Khamenei once again warned of a broader
00:01:49response to any new act of aggression against Iran
00:01:53while praising powerful act of heroism by the
00:01:56resistance front.
00:02:03We earlier talked to Herter and John Sakina dato to get
00:02:07of a take on the growing power
00:02:08of the resistance front against the western
00:02:11forces.
00:02:15Lebanon has already issues a statement saying
00:02:18you know they will get involved in this war if Iran is attacked
00:02:22and they are resistance fronts in Iraq that have not even been
00:02:26activated. We haven't really seen in the past what they are capable of.
00:02:30but from everything that we
00:02:31a know they are a strong
00:02:33of force and once they you know are activated then they will play
00:02:37a huge role also and of course I mean Yemen is story
00:02:41everybody is aware of just alone by themselves they have
00:02:45reduced Saudi Arabia to absolutely nothing so
00:02:48you know when these access of resistant
00:02:51of each country that is part of this access of resistance is
00:02:55motivated by the real passion for justice and
00:02:59truth and people who are not scared of dying, these are the people
00:03:02who are on the forefront, they are steadfast because they
00:03:06believe in the cause, and these are not the kind of people that anyone can
00:03:10defeat, when they come together, this is
00:03:13major major force that none
00:03:15of these western countries will be able to really
00:03:19confront, already we are seeing with the United
00:03:22States, there was all these belief before the war
00:03:25started that it was a strong army, but we have seen that
00:03:29the... are not even able to open a straight of hormos, forget
00:03:33other things and the Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries that everybody thought
00:03:37was really rich countries with lots of power and American
00:03:41support, they have not
00:03:42of been able to open the Babul Mandap, so this tells you that
00:03:46really the power house now led by Iran is the
00:03:50axis of
00:03:50resistance,
00:03:54the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman has
00:03:57of strongly condemned the German foreign minister's late. remarks,
00:04:01they were aimed at justifying the US Israeli aggression against
00:04:04Iran. Ismail Balgai made a comment
00:04:07in a social media post
00:04:08of after Johan Waderfall falsely claimed that the cause
00:04:11of the aggression was Tehran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and
00:04:15supporting arms group in
00:04:17of neighboring countries. Reacting to his remarks, Bar he said what
00:04:21the follow has forgotten, the Germany's chancellor Frederic
00:04:24Mures once enthusiastically declared that Israel
00:04:28was doing our dirty work. which is attack on
00:04:32Iran. A few months later, Mr. lamented that the war on Iran
00:04:36had cost Europe 100 billion euros. Bagai noted
00:04:40that now is foreign minister feels compelled
00:04:42of to justify the military assault on Iran. He added that what
00:04:46remarks are marked by much indifference and
00:04:50such profound moral decay that he neither acknowledges the human
00:04:54casualties and war
00:04:55a crimes committed, not grasp the economic damage that the wars
00:04:59inflicted. on his country and
00:05:01europe
00:05:06and
00:05:07a US vice president J.D. vances blamed the war on Iran
00:05:10for the Republican Party bicimal result in the
00:05:14midterm elections, a social media post, van
00:05:17said, the one Iran was the real reason republicans
00:05:21suffered losses in the mid terms. He added the President Donald
00:05:25Trump made the same point last night. The election
00:05:29result have also drawn reactions from world leaders with the
00:05:33Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez welcoming the result
00:05:36saying Americans voted against policies to
00:05:40only impoverish people and against hatred. UK
00:05:44prime minister Handel Borham also said the world now has an
00:05:48opportunity to focus on resolving the war on Iran
00:05:52and easing the cost of leaving
00:05:53crisis.
00:05:58And to join us to discuss this and more is Davis
00:06:01Yahubion, professor of history in California State
00:06:05University. joining us from San Bernardino. Thank
00:06:09you so much for joining us, Mr. Yakubion i
00:06:13so it's not that the one Iran was illegal, it's not
00:06:17that lot of innocent people were killed including 128
00:06:20school children, but it is because this war is costing
00:06:24Americans and it has also led to the um, you know
00:06:28this defeat the Republican party, what do you make the
00:06:31statement coming out the US vice
00:06:34president, I mean you just nailed it, it's really
00:06:37unfortunate, I mean we we could talk about uh the
00:06:41the benefit. of of seeing uh Donald Trump's agenda
00:06:45being uh roundly rejected uh by the American people, but at
00:06:49the same time uh the issue regarding why this was such
00:06:53defeat, um, it's very clear that for many
00:06:56Americans, as you stated, it wasn't the dead children, the illegal war,
00:07:00the immorality, the violation of international law
00:07:03in the US constitution, it was their gas prices,
00:07:07so um, you know, that's unfortunate, now with that said though, I still think
00:07:11it's it's signing. and due to his his rank
00:07:15if you will within the republican establishment as vice
00:07:19president uh JD Vance's rather long
00:07:23ex post uh regarding the what he considered to be the four
00:07:26factors uh behind the yeah allow me to jump in and it
00:07:30was very straight to the point right nobody reading that text
00:07:34will not take the anger coming out of
00:07:37it and he does he spoke about how hangry many republicans
00:07:40are do you think this is um much
00:07:44response to the republican party itself or it's just this
00:07:47administration and the fallasies that has you know being
00:07:51reported whether it's the tariff war um even with Canada
00:07:55or it's the Iran war and the skyrocketing diesel prices what is
00:07:59it exactly well I mean okay JD Vance
00:08:02is in
00:08:03is in sort of damage control spin mode both for the Republican party
00:08:07as well as for himself and his potential uh
00:08:10you know election campaign as president. in 2028, he's also
00:08:14trying to distinguish himself from others in the administration such as Marco Rubio
00:08:18who were
00:08:19uh you know roundly on board with this illegal war, vance
00:08:23tried to keep a little bit of distance, but if we consider his
00:08:27seemingly four distinct points, they they really um are all
00:08:31truly directly interrelated, because he's saying
00:08:33you know end the war, focus on inflation and the
00:08:37cost of living uh to to uh put America
00:08:41first and then change our... relationship with Israel, put America first, what does
00:08:44that have to do with? that has to do with putting the United States in its interests,
00:08:48you know, before the apartite genocidal state of Israel, um,
00:08:51ending the war, and again, unfortunately, for many Americans that's uh
00:08:55most directly uh related in terms of of,
00:08:59you know, negative to their pocketbook, to their their
00:09:03gas prices, but but again the the the points that the JD Vance made
00:09:06are uh all interrelated, and and I'll just say though again, it's
00:09:10it is significant that he's... he's you know calling it out
00:09:14um the war and the relationship with the apartide
00:09:18genocidal state of Israel um as the
00:09:21primary issues he he's not he he doesn't as you said he's not trying to to
00:09:25uh get into other issues like tariffs or or you
00:09:29know really really anything else he he he says it pretty straight up but
00:09:33but uh I'm just saying that that
00:09:35that there they're also uh there's politicking behind his
00:09:38his rather long and strong statements okay finally just before I let you go because
00:09:42we were running out of time, did you think that any Americans or
00:09:46even the Republican party would have believed when Trump
00:09:49started this war on Iran that they will be where they are today? I
00:09:53mean, regardless of what you think the Republican Party, they had a very
00:09:57strong base um coming through before the war, and there were
00:10:01certain moves that the Donald Trump administration had made that really ressounded
00:10:05and resonated with um you know this major um
00:10:08right-wing uh coalition that he had built. was
00:10:12this gamble watted? was it workted now? mean,
00:10:16indeed, looking back uh, there were of course many of us uh long
00:10:20time observers uh uh of uh Iran and foreign
00:10:23policy and... history and technology that were warning against
00:10:27it, but this this infection of both zionism and
00:10:31American exceptionalism at the top levels of government and and it's
00:10:35a bipartisan affliction, it's you know the Washington
00:10:38consensus for imperialism and zionism, it just
00:10:42blinds those afflicted to the realities of uh
00:10:45Iran's geography, its strength, its national cohesion
00:10:49um and really the weakness the American empire and
00:10:53zionism in the region uh both in terms their soft and their hard
00:10:57power um so uh yeah, this is this is a
00:11:01rude awakening for them and and and again i i don't
00:11:04believe anyone should necessarily hold out hope that the democrats are
00:11:08going to set the country a a legal or sane path,
00:11:12but nevertheless again it is an important repudiation of Donald Trump in
00:11:16his agenda. okay, we'll have to leave it there, we're out of time,
00:11:19Davidaku be on professor of history at California State University
00:11:23joining us from Benny. No, thank you so much for
00:11:26your time. Moving on with
00:11:30the news, Belarus has hosted the first international conference on euroasian
00:11:33security. The today event concluded on Wednesday,
00:11:37seeking to establish new security architecture for Europe and
00:11:41Asia. Delegates from dozens of countries, including senior
00:11:44officials from Russia, Iran and China addressed the
00:11:48meeting. Press TV has report from
00:11:51Minsk.
00:11:55Diplomats and experts from 50 countries in Europe and Asia goffered in
00:11:59Minsk for discussions aimed at establishing a new
00:12:02security architecture fit for new multipolar
00:12:06world, the charter on the Eurasian security and
00:12:09multipolarity in the 21st century
00:12:13is gaining momentum. I see the
00:12:17so to say um ev
00:12:19so to say um event that finalized
00:12:23the results of all work done by
00:12:26broader experts, diplomats,
00:12:30NGOs in
00:12:31the sphere the international security, this is sort of
00:12:35finalizing event which gives us
00:12:39more optimism than before, there are not so many opportunities
00:12:42nowadays that provide platforms for a dialogue, for
00:12:46discussing issues that are open,
00:12:50mostly the conferences, the events that happen
00:12:53in some uh European countries, they are
00:12:57blocked for Russian participants and for those whom
00:13:01they consider to be inclining towards Russia. This one was absolutely
00:13:05open for everybody. Senior officials including from Iran, Russia and
00:13:09China addressed today conference, participants believe the
00:13:12conference offers an open forum for discussing key issues,
00:13:16including security and the
00:13:18economy.
00:13:26many different countries were represented here, Pakistan, India, China, I
00:13:30even saw an Iranian delegation. This is how I envision
00:13:33event, one where discussions take place among officials, experts and
00:13:37academics rather than just the empty repetition of slogans. Discussions were
00:13:41also held on how emerging technologies shape Eurasian
00:13:44security. They will make this conference as an important platform
00:13:48of discussion of of variety of levels,
00:13:52culture, economics, politics, etc.
00:13:57of of your eurasian countries and that is that
00:14:01is their decisiveness that impressed me in this
00:14:05conference. the conception of what eurasianism
00:14:08means, i think, and i think that's also reflected in the conference
00:14:12is an order which is economically and geopolitically very much
00:14:16opposed to the order proposed by atlanticism. in february of
00:14:20this year, russia, iran, belarus, north korea and myanmar began
00:14:23consultations on the develop.
00:14:30Iran has participated in every edition the
00:14:33Eurasian Security Conference since its launch four
00:14:37years ago. This active participation
00:14:41along with the signing the Charter of Eurasian security
00:14:45proves Iran's commitment to peaceful relations
00:14:49and regional cooperation despite
00:14:53continued threats and

00:16:10also brought an exhibition documenting the tragedy
00:16:14in Minab and the rescue efforts that followed.
00:16:18Out in the open courtyard, an outdoor photo exhibition and
00:16:22portrait display brought the horing reality the menab school
00:16:25attack to the forefront where 157
00:16:29children lost their lives on the first day the US Israeli
00:16:32aggression. Today on the 13th of

00:17:09the program shifted to documentary sessions for kids, speeches by
00:17:13dignitaries and moving stage performances and
00:17:16presentations by the
00:17:18students. The youth are the backbone
00:17:22of our resistance against depression. By hosting this campaign
00:17:26here in Karachi, we are educating the next generation about the
00:17:29injustices faced by our children and the enduring spirit
00:17:33of our Islamic values.
00:17:37It's a student show of solidarity. The documentary screenings
00:17:41and student performances deeply touched us. It is an eye
00:17:45opener for the youth to understand what happened in Minab and why we must
00:17:49stand strong against Hegem
00:17:50Germany. As the week long
00:17:54campaign continues, this poignant opening day has successfully
00:17:58bridged athletic vitality with sharp political awareness,

00:23:35reliability of missile systems, data processing
00:23:38device. it's noted that the sub-unit the country's long range
00:23:42cruise missile unit also struck a virtual airport
00:23:46during the drill. according to the report, the two exercises were
00:23:50aimed at maintaining the country's weapon system a technically
00:23:54high level. the drill scheme and made the flow of weapon
00:23:58demonstration by DPRK in recent weeks, which
00:24:01includes cluster munition attacks, drone, a precision guided
00:24:05topedal system and an intermediate range hypersonic
00:24:09missile.
00:24:15that does it for this world news bulletin on press tv. thank you so much for joining
00:24:19us, good.
00:24:42like: story of Iran's resilience: today, a US is real
00:24:46strike during the 40-day war in Iran hit a laser and...
00:24:50plasma research facility in Tehran, and most people would
00:24:53assume that means shut down, silence, damage, end of
00:24:57work and cleared and experiments restarting, so
00:25:01the first question writes itself, what exactly was the U.S.
00:25:05Israel strike supposed to stop? The answer is quite
00:25:08clear, it was attempt to attack Iran scientific
00:25:12infrastructure itself. Many of you may ask, but why?
00:25:16Let's unfoot that. The facility is a working research center.
00:25:20focus on plasma physics, photonics, biomedical
00:25:23imaging and industrial applications, the kind of science that
00:25:27moves between medicine, energy and materials, and
00:25:31hey, it is not just theory, the inventions are being
00:25:35applied in advance hospitals, industry,
00:25:38pharmaceuticals, even for gempstones. so if the goal
00:25:42was disruption, did the US in Israel succeed? the clear
00:25:46answer is no. another question pops up, how is the work our?
00:25:50continuing because Iranian scientists are framing this as
00:25:53deeper than physical damage, they believe it reflects
00:25:57pattern, pressure on Iran's scientific
00:26:00infrastructure, something, US and Israel have
00:26:04been doing for decades, remember the target killings of Iran's
00:26:07nuclear scientists and cyber attacks on peaceful nuclear
00:26:11plants. Anyways, this attack was another desperate attempt to
00:26:15disrupt years of research, expertise and technological
00:26:19progress. Instead of allowing the strike to define the
00:26:22institute's future, Iranian scientists returned within
00:26:26days to restore operations and restart projects. At the
00:26:30center, the damage equip.
00:26:32ment is already being replaced and in some cases operated within
00:26:36domestically developed systems,
00:26:38so instead of shutting the work down, the US is really strike appears
00:26:42to have accelerated rebuild cycle, and that's how the
00:26:46Islamic Republic
00:26:47works.
00:27:02"I have a
00:27:03dream,
00:27:10and now let's hear what President Trump has to say about oil
00:27:14prices. I never say this, because and watch I'll cut
00:27:17all of this stuff out, and they'll leave the little sentence at it. Our
00:27:21country is making more money than it's ever
00:27:25made because the fact that oil is so high. Now they're going to
00:27:28say, isn't it terrible? He talked about..."
00:27:32the fact that he doesn't care about the little
00:27:36person, they call them, i care more about the little person than i care about the big
00:27:40person, i care about the little person like crazy, we're
00:27:44winning, we're winning that one very big by the way, in case you haven't
00:27:47noticed,
00:28:43War does not end when the bombs stop
00:28:47falling.
00:28:55Wounded soil follows scientists and researchers
00:28:58into the scarred landscapes of Lebanon. to
00:29:02uncover the invisible legacy of conflict,
00:29:06contaminated earth, toxic
00:29:09remnants, and the lasting impact of war and
00:29:13human health, the environment and future
00:29:16generations.
00:29:54There's lots of speculation that the US will conduct a short,
00:29:58intense renewal the Iran war after the
00:30:01U.S. term elections this week, that's on November
00:30:053, John, why would Trump do so given that the
00:30:09overwhelmingly unpopular war, and it's been that way
00:30:13since before February 28, why would he do so when the
00:30:16unpopular war helps explain um why
00:30:20the Republicans and Donald Trump himself are so
00:30:23unpopular? Well, it's not clear that he will
00:30:27actually...
