Away from a full scale world war 3. Hello and welcome live from tehran, youve turned to press tvs world news, im hashimi, thanks so much for being with us, first or takes us to gaza where the Israeli Regime has again. Number of more palestinians, the Gaza Health Ministry says at least 31,726 palestinians have been killed since october the 7th, how corresponded multi abu musab has the details, the israeli occubition forces conducted a. Offensive against the ashifa medical complex over the last night where hundreds of the israeli tanks and the Israeli Forces moved uh in a swift attack against the compound uh amid the heavy gunfire and the continuous bombardments at least 40 consecutive israeli air strikes hit the compound the buildings the yards and even the surrounding areas of the ashifa compound knowing that thousands of the Palestinian Civilians are taking shilter and the hospital, in addition to the paramedics and the medical staff and the palestinian injuries who actually uh uh are located their receiving the needed medical care uh the israeli accubition attack actually left thousands of the Palestinian Civilians killed and injuries in addition to the big fire that blazed in the Surgery Department uh in one building in a building inside the compound when it comes to the central area of gaza strip the situation is still catastrophical. As well as the israeli incubation forces maintained the their strikes and incursions against the central area, particularly anosarati fuji camp, whereas over the last night the israeli war planes destroyed another residental building claiming the lives of nine palestinas civilians, most of them were children and women, these air strikes are continued and even over the last the last couple of hours the israeli artillery maintained its shelling towards the eastern part of deril balah city and when comes to khanuni city, almasi area, which is claimed by the israel incubation forces as save area, it was under a repetitive israeli attack. The Israeli Regimes recent attack on alsafa hospital in gaza has drawn widespread condemnation. Official and organizations have expressed extreme concern about the impact on the sick and wounded as well as medical staff. And the Palestinian Resistance. Movement hamas has called the attack a new crime committed by the criminal zinanis Occupation Army that will not make netanyahu of and its nazie army give them any image of victory and another reaction outgoing palestinian Prime MinisterMohammad Shatah has blamed the International Community for its failure in condemning israel and ignoring crimes against humanity being committed in gaza. Bull the head of who tedros. Gabriasos also labeled the attacks as deeply concerning warning that the fighting has endangered health workers, patients and civilians. Al shaa, the largest hospital in gaza, came under at least 40 attacks on sunday, killing or wounding dozens of palestinians. Well, in of our news review program, weve discussed the Israeli Regimes most recent attacks on the health and medical infrastructure. In gaza. Is a journalist, author and activist joining us from belfast, we also have tim anderson, director of the center for counter hegemonic studies joining us from syndy. Sydney, welcome to you both uh for huse, ill start with you. When it comes to the israeli aggression, in particular when it comes to the hospitals, there hasnt been really solid uh piece of news that came out showing that uh israeli objective was met, whatever that was, which the forefront is uh trying to uh extinguish the hamas fighters, one form or another, um, why is it that theyre continuing with their targeting off the hospitals . Do you think . I think its a further attack on the civilian infrastructure and gaza itself. I think the president of brazil, lewis de silva probably encaptulated this best when empire fruzingham, when he said basically uh, its an asymmetrical war, what we have is a well trained, well. And well equipped uh army uh fighting civilians, so that to me is the best description of whats happening in gaza. We saw previous attacks, i believe on the al hospital is at the hospital where they said there were tunnels underneath and that they were trying to release captives, it appears that there is no lie too big and there is no atrocity too small that the israely offensive forces are not for the carry out on the people of gaza, so when you couple. The attacks on the hospitals, if you remember the six young innocent babies who were left to die in their incubators uh when another hospital people were forced to evacuate the sick, the wounded and even the people uh undergoing intensive cur uh treatment, were just seeing uh a continued attack on uh the civilian population like the flow massacers at the curity roundabout where over 400 people according to the Gaza Ministry of health, ill be murder, simply man, going out, fathers, sons, uncles, grandfathers, simply going to try and get some flow in order to save uh their families and help them Going Forward in this genocidal famon that has been weaponized as a form of collective punishment in order to subdue and force the Palestinian People into uh submission so. Seeing farmon, were seeing bombs, were seeing attacks on hospitals, schools, there was an attack on the un Aid Distribution Center uh just recently and there were many wounded and and some dead and its just a complete attack on uh the whole, its its a psychological war upon the whole people of gaza and this genocidal american eu backed uh ethnic cleansing of the people of palestine. Well tim anderson, you had this uh Us Intelligence report that came out days ago uh when and it mentioned number of things, one of them was about the hamas fighters and it said that uh um the hamas fighters are going to pose a challenge for um israel for years to come, and when you take into account that the lack of accomplishment in terms of uh one of the stated goals of israel which is eradicating hamas and particular uh when it comes to the tunnels for example they have failed there uh what does that tell the Israeli Regime uh obviously theyre not doing something right there . Well youre right, this is reported in the in the zianist media also that they um Us Intelligence group said that they not going to be able to get rid of hamas because really hamas is just the tip of the Palestinian Resistance iceberg and thats not going to go away any time soon basically but when youre talking about al shifa remember also this is hospital that was devastated before its in the north in gaza city there are still civilians there even though conditions of life have been very difficult in the areas all of the residential area is been devastated around there, there also is resistance there, the resistance is back in areas where the israelis thought they got rid them, so the civilians are there, and really um, of course this idea that theyre actually going up to hamas is only part of the story, anyway, lets remember that they have said many times to us, and this is what the south africans have carried to the International Court of justice, they want to destroy the conditions of life to make it unbearable, they want to destroy the people or drive them out, and of course this new. Report that the us is involved in is widely suspected now of being a way to try and evacuate and take palestinians out of gaza to help with the ethnic cleansing of the area, so the assault on civilians is has always been a openly stated uh part of this genocide. Very few genocides in the past have openly stated as clearly as as israelis have this one, so this new attack on alsiifa tells us, well there are still civilians there, there is still resistance there, the israelis are back there, um. Theyre trying to make conditions of life unbearable for the people there because they have these dreams of turning into a car park or some new tourist resort after theyve got rid of the inconvenient fact of the fact that people still live there. Thank you so much for hes journalist author and activist and thank you tim anderson director of the center for counterhegemonic studies. With that we come to an end for this news review. The eu Foreign Policy chief says israels genocide in gaza has turned the territory into the worlds biggest open air graveyard. The situation in gaza. Gaza was before the world the greatest open air prison. Today is the greatest open air graveyard, a graveyard for tens of thousand of people, and also a graveyard for many of the most important principles of humanitarian law. Where i was speaking ahead of an eu foreign minister, ministerial meeting in. He reiterated that israel is using famin as a weapon of war by not allowing aid trucks into gaza. Voral said the issue is not a lack of sufficient supplies for gaza, its rather israel deliberately preventing them from entering the beside strip. According to the world food programs, 70 of the remaining people in northern gaza are at catastrophic levels of hunger. We need sufficient amounts of food to get into northern gaza and to be able to be distributed to the people who are in need over there. Mind you, there are 30000 people in that location right now, of which 70 , meaning 210 thousand people are in catastrophic level of hunger. The remaining 30 , they are emergency levels of hunger. A un back to Food Security assessment report also indicates that around half of the population of gaza is experiencing catastrophic hunger due to the israeli onslot. Addressing the alarming new reports about hunger in gaza, the un secretary general called for immediate humanitarian ceasefire. The latest report on Food Insecurity in gaza is an appalling indictment of conditions on the ground for civilians. The worlds leading experts on Food Insecurity clearly document that femine in the northern part of gaza is imminent. More than half of all palestinians in gaza, 1. 1 million people, have completely exhausted their Food Supplies and are facing catastrophic hunger, according to the report. Palestinians in gaza are enduring orifying levels of hunger and suffering. This is the highest number of people facing catastrophic anger ever recorded. By the integrated Food Security classification system anywhere, anytime. This is an entirely manmade disaster and the report makes clear that it can be halted. Todays report is exhibit a for the need for immediate humanitarian sease fire. I call on the israeli authorities to ensure complete and unfetted. For humanitarian goods throughout gaza and for the International Community to fully support our humanitarian efforts, we must act now to prevent the unthinkable, the unacceptable and the unjustifiable. And now to southern lebanon where tensions remain high as hazbillahs Resistance Movement carries out a missile. Strike on an Israeli Military base in the occupied land, we going to cross over now, joined by our lebanese correspondent mariam salah, mariam, thanks so much for being with us, well please fill us in in the latest of what you have in this situation, well surprisingly today we saw that there was a lot of calm during the day, the first part the day actually, even last night uh, but then just just a little bit before sunset uh we saw that there was an intensified shelling, from the israeli part, hezbulah also had uh intensified its operations, sometimes some operations there would be two or three minutes apart or simultaneously on several posts. And so we had operations from the resistance launching their rocket fire on several posts including the lebanese occupied farms posts of and zibdeen and that is on the lebanese part territory also had other talk against the Israeli Soldiers in where hazbillah says it hit and scored its hits very precisely against those soldiers using as they said appropriate rocket fighter, we also had operations from the resistance and rockets being fired towards and is really media was talking about really heavy fire from side towards the israel, the israelies as well of course have intensified their shelling, there was several areas like for example and but misal jabal where there was very heavy shelling to the extent that it seems to be very become a usual routine for the israelies that they do what what they calls top um shelling the shell the first place and perhaps wait until there are maybe ambulances or authorities to come near they launch attack on the same exact location uh this is why authorities are basically taking heat of the situation. Nation, if they know that there are no, human because theres no probably civilians or anyone in that vicinity, theyre not coming near that area for several hours, making sure that no one is under israeli shelling, there were also several rockets from israeli war jets that did not explode, and these Lebanese Army has worked on detonating those rockets very safely to make sure that there are no casualties, there were also several attacks on the areas of farkila as well as rocket. In jabal as we said and shah and so basically those were the main areas that we saw and we notice how the israelies sometimes perhaps took advantage of that there was calm on the border, but then it seemed thats resistance was quite ready of course we saw any showing from the israeli part in addition to their routine operations in the post especially in the lebanese occupied territory in shabal farms and hills. Now today we heard several speeches from law officials, the deputy of the head of the executive council stress that it is, of course, seeming resistance is the one that has upper hand on the battlefield, it seemed that the israelis and the americans wanted to enforce some conditions, and despite the fact that the resistance was flexible, hes talking here about hamas, as secretary general said, is basically is negotiating on behalf of all the resistance fronts, even hazballah, even those that are in the other fronts. And what they say when it comes to the negotiations that have to do with the stopping of an aggression against gaza will play out and will be implemented on all the other fronts, and so we heard from stressing that the resistance has very logical and very Clear Conditions that are only natural of course for the resistance group, mainly that the aggression is completely stopped and that the people of of gaza are allowed to return along with. And so on and he said that reason for the fact that we dont have a truth so far or any stop to the aggression is the israeli side and their subberness of course uh this is just one part of course of the talks that are continuous as we know from now all right thanks so much for that update that was mariam mais correspondent there out of beirot continue with other news now iran has dismiss as legally baseless the findings of the United NationsFact Finding Mission on the 2022. Rights in the country, speaking a meeting of the Un Human Rights Council in geneva, the head of irans high council for human rights said the socalled Factfinding Mission has a glaring lack of independence and impartiality. Khasim khari bababadi set the mission was a result of lobbying by some western countries, and the relevant report was drafted under the pressure of the same countries. Kari babadi also slamed the United Nations for politicizing human rights. Do you in fact, finding mission was established two months after violent protests erupted in iran over the death of young iranian woman. Its recently released report accuses the Islamic Republic of Human Rights Violations and its handling of foreignbacked riity. Well, iran is marking the 73rd anniversary of the nationalization of its oil industry. That was a turning point in the political and economic history of the iranian nation to. Save the National Treasure from foreigners brings us the details. On march 20th, 1951, members of the Iranian Parliament passed the bill introduced by the country. Democratically elected Prime Minister, Mohammed Musaddiq to nationalize irans oil industry. The groundbreaking initiative put an end to britains fourdecade dominion over irans oil industry. The britainowned Angloiranian Oil Company enjoyed a monopolistic control over the industry and paid only meger portion the revenues to the iranian government. Nationalization was call for independence. If you go back then the. The entire public realized that this move was not about economy, it was about independence, and go the the musaddiq movement was very popular within, the entire world realized that it was about gaining independence from a colonial power that controlled the economy and from, mean based on the economy, control the political spectrum within iran. When the then government of musad put the nationalizing of irans oil its agenda and. April 1951, acts of sabotage and conspiracy against the country were enhanced. The American British coup in august 1953 against musaddiqs government was part of the plot. Basically the british were plundering iranian Natural Resources and oil was at the top of the list. Iranians began to protest and there was a growing social movement in the country to nationalize iranian oil. When that. Ultimately happened, the british impos sanctions on the country, similar to what happened after the revolution in iran. After the victory of the islamic revolution, iran achieved significant milestones in the petroleum industry. These include the discovery of numerous oil and gas fields, an expansion in extractable oil and condensate reserves, a rise in Oil Production and extractable gas and the discovery of new oil and gas fields. Iran was the first country in the west. Asia to reclaim its oil industry, the iranian nations move proved to be of great importance in giving rise to the anticolonialist tendencies all over the region and set a trend for other countries. Fatih massumi, press tv, tehran. The russian president has issued a stern warning to the west over sending military troops in support of ukraine. Vladimir putin says the direct confrontation between russia and nato will push the world on the brink of fullscale world war 3. I think that anything is possible in the modern world, but ive already said this and it is clear everyone that this conflict between russia and nato will be just one step away from a fullscale world war ii. I dont think anybody is interested in this. Nato military are present there in ukraine, theres nothing good in this, firstly for them, because they get killed in large numbers. Putin made the remarks in the pressure shortly after securing another sixyear termin office in the biggest landslight victory in post soviet russian history. The warning came in response to earlier statement by french president Emmanuel Macron who highlighted the necessity of western ground operations in ukraine at some point. Commenting on the prospects of peace talks with kyev. Putin said moscow remains open to negotiations but wont be lured into a truth that would allow you. To rearm, he added that Russian Armed forces hold the advantage on the battlefield as they have made advances in ukraine. Oh, fred weer, political commentator in moscow believes that putins repeated calls to discuss an end to the ukraine war should be taken seriously. Well, it would be a massive escalation, um, nato troops in ukraine would start getting killed, and uh, that, i mean, we basically we would be on the threshold of world war ii, wouldnt we . Um, so uh, i think that the the fact that its being discussed in in europe, although it, its its not. Serious discussion yet, president macron brought it up uh, but it seems like its been put on the table, and that would change the whole nature of of the war. I think thats what putin was saying, because if nato troops came into ukraine, uh, well, they would be face to face with Russian Troops and the killing would start. I i dont know better definition of world war 3 than that. Macron wants a ceasefire for the duration of the Paris Olympics in september, i dont think the russians are going to go for that, especially since russians arent welcome to participate in those in. Those olympics, so uh, but uh, putin has repeatedly said, and and i suppose he should be taken seriously, that the that russia is ready to talk about the war in ukraine about ending it, but on russian terms, and so far thats unacceptable in kiev and and apparently in the west as well. And that brings us to the end of this hours bulletin. Thanks so much for staying with us, dont go away, ill be back shortly with this spotlight. So stay with us right here at press tv. Crisis, devastating wars, terrorism, the israeli lobby, crackdown, diplomacy, gaza being starved to death, iran has come a long way to gain independence in the Defense Industry since the 1979 islamic revolution. Its warships, speed boats, missiles and drones, among many items in its arsenal, have caught many countries in the world by surprise, but as military experts and top brass say, this is only a tiny fraction of irans capabilities that have been unveiled thus far.
