that. without iran, this particular access, giving support to the suffering people of gaza, the resistance in gaza will not be possible. the aim of the israeli regime in of carrying out this particular blackout is so that they can suppress the information coming out of gaza, so that their crimes, their atrocities, their genocide, cannot be sent out to the rest of the world, but still... "the information is at our disposal, so that's their objective, but also, you know, um, crazy regimes like the israeli regime, especially the one led by benjamin netanyahu does not always even think rationally, even in terms of their own interest, yes, the interest is to obliterate, to flatten gaza, to kill each and every palestinian living in gaza, but the blocking out of communication, they see it as part. of that, but they do not

understand that this is simply backfiring, it's making the israeli regime yet again look like a regime that wants to close out each and every communication. the united nations says israel may have detained thousands of palestinians in gaza since it launched a genocidal war on the basi strip early october. during my time. i managed to meet a number of released detainees, these are men who were detained by the israeli security forces in unknown locations for between 30 to 55 days. they describe being beaten, humiliated, subjected ill treatment and to what may amount to torture. they reported being blindfolded for long periods, some of them for several consecutive days. i don't see any. let's go to the platform, okay, the

operations where they uh conducted also other resistance operations in certain areas, we do know from the israeli media that they have shot down as they say a drone which move from lebanese territory, hizbullah has not denied or claimed any responsibility on that, but they said that it was flying close to area which was in haifa, it could have been, a huzbolah, it could be, it could have been from husbollah to towards a strategic area and ha could have also been something from the iraq resistance, since we know that they are quite active in that arena as well, we know that there was an explosion recently and near the oil refineries and in haifa. a plot hatched by zinis. to occupy, to disintegrate

yemen. the french missile was fired from us navy ships, stationed in the red sea and targeted sides that were allegedly prepared to launch attacks. over dozen locations were said to have been hit in the strikes. the amamini saba news agency reported that the aerial assault hit the provinces of adeda, taz, damar, albaida and sada. the aggression was accompanied by the presence of surveillance aircraft over the western part of yemen. situation will not change anything in the sense of our people and his spiritual obligation in supporting the palestinian people and the residence of gaza as well as the continuous targeting of ships linked to israel, and this is clear in our continuous operations, yemany armed forces have said that they will not hesitate to target all sources of threat in the arabian and red seats within the country's legitimate right of self-defense. they've also warned that any aggression against yemen by the us or the uk will not go unanswered and unpunished for washington. designated antara movement as a terrorist organization. the antera resistance movement has described the us move to

redesignate the movements as a terrorist organization as quote a badge of honor. designation of the united states does, i mean in here in yemen, they don't care about that, but they are honored uh to to to have that relisten as a terrorist organization because we know and as said abdul malik have said united state is just the face of the crime. united states is one of the country that have destroyed. uh, i mean the have destruction wherever they go, so we are honored uh to be uh uh designated as terrorist because as always they say one man terrorist is another man freedom fighter. answer the spokesman muhammad abdul salam added that the move also proves the impact of yemen's anti-israely operations in the red sea. as part of their support for palestinians, the yemen armed forces and unser popular resistance movement have over the past month targeted several ships owned by the israeli regime. or bound for ports and the occupied territories in the strategic after multiple warnings earlier in

january the us along with the uk attacked yemen and a theatrical show of support for the israeli regime. the issue that america and britain have joined the war directly and that we are now in direct confrontation with the americans, british and israelies does not scare us at all, the aggression towards our country and our people will enhance the development of our military. capabilities: this was a brutal aggression, violation of our sovereignty, mean after 10 years of war on the yemini people as seag on land, air and sea and to add to that, they are targeting us with new aggression. this is new stage of the conflict. what does this reflect? it reflects violation of sovereignty, further injustice towards people. since mid-november, yemani armed forces have carried out operations against israel link ships in the red sea,

they say the operations are aimed at forcing the israel regime to stop his war on gaza and allow med. and food into the territory. now the yemeny armed forces have also made it clear that the red sea operations will continue until those goals are achieved. is more. washington and london have supplied money, weapons and diplomatic cover for the zianist occupation of palestine. they are actively promoting genocide, ethnic cleansing, racism, partthide, pruel, dehumanization and extreme barbarism in. occupied palestine. it's obvious who is on the side of genoside, britain, france, canada, the netherlands and others and germany, especially, and on the side of right, on the side of morality is world public opinion, yemeny government. the western hijamonic powers and their zist alli have faced the disgraceful defeat in gaza in

the face of the resilience and steadfastness of hamas and other palestinian resistance groups. germany military has single-handedly posed the... threat to the economic functioning of the israeli occupation by forcing it out of the red sea and further promising to stop the movement of ships to the occupied territories if the aggression against gaza continues. response to the yemini military's actions, the us formed so-called multinational coalition in the red sea under the guise of protecting international trade, which in reality was attempt to protect the status quo and regional waters that have traditionally been in the service of western interests. yemeni military's efforts have been noted for being... highly sophisticated and precise, the yemini uh attacks have been extraordinarily effective, first of all uh shipping costs uh are rising, have risen, insurance for ships is going up uh and this will this will only uh get worse, so israel

is taking a a pretty significant economic hit, major shipping companies have had to halt operations in the red sea, and to take new longer routes and the us has been scrambling to pressure the saudis to avoid a peace deal with yemen. yemen's retaliatory strikes has also halted all commercial activities in the port de vilat in the occupied territories. yemen has in fact set new equation with global consequences and has pushed the us from a position of dominance to one of defense, having to react and succum to the resistance demands. thousands of yemanies have filled the streets the capital sanna and other major cities to slam the us blacklisting of the ansarullah movement. the protesters also expressed their continuous support for the yemani army's

operations and the ritsie and gulf of aden. we came here today and 70 uh... sware to send a big message to the sohuni, israelian, american and british, we have a good weapon to make you under the sea, not under the ground, under the sea, the yemeni people and the whole world know who america is, its entire history is full of terrorism, murder, crime, corruption, support for criminals and the production of weapons for more killing, there is nothing. clearer than the crimes committed by israel and america in the gaza strip with no less than 240 marters every day, not to mention the wounded and the missing. therefore, for america to classify any group in the world as terrorist is very silly and it cannot be believed by rational person. officials say the recent us move is in line with washington support for the

israeli regime and its atrocities in gaza. they say the us is endangering the region to protect the israeli regime. which clearly exemplifies terrorism. it's a great honor for us that the sponsor and the founder of terrorism which has killed countless people around the world and use its atomic bombs in hiroshima and nakazaki and kill hundreds of thousands there is the one that classified us as terrorists, but we represent the most honorable position from moral and humanitarian standpoint. america's recent designation is in line with its support for the israeli genocidal war against palestinians in gaza, we stand with palestine and will not back down from this position. in response to the yemini army's relentless attacks against israeli linked in the red sea, the us has announced the redesignation the ansarullah movement as a terrorist group. the group has been stepping up its military operations against american and the british

ships and the rid sea and the gulf of aden. the us and uk launched attacks on yemen following its move to target israeli linked ships in retaliation for the regime's genocide in gaza. despite the strikes by the us and the uk, people have gathered here to prove their point. they say they are not afraid of new war and are ready for all options. they also... believe that the us is the godfather of terrorism and has no right to designate any of the resistance movements as a terrorist group. the iranian military has launched day two of air defense trails marked by a variety of exercises. the maneuvers featured operations using air

defense systems to counter electronic and cyber attacks, the units involved in the drills also use drones to electronically disrupt radars as well as air reconnaissance systems. participating troops practice shooting down targets at low altitude, using for the first time domestically. develop short-range air defense system called the ninth of day, are using system in bulk, that is new anti-cruise missile system, of course it has passed its operational tests for more than year. the maneuvers also involved intelligence satellites on manned air vehicles and air defense radars, intelligence gathering systems were used as well to spot and take out mock enemy targets. the drills are carried out jointly by the iranian army and iran's islamic revolution gars core or the irgc. iran says its recent military

operation in neighboring pakistan was a timely action to thort immediate terrorist threat. in a phone call with his pakistani counterpart, the iranian foreign minister said more than 50 terrorists were preparing to carry out a terrorist. attack against ivan, but the strikes foiled their plot. hussein amir abdullahyan stressed that ivan fully respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of pakistan. the top iranian diplomats called for cooperation between the two countries to eliminate terrorist bases on pakistani soil and also underscored the importance of unity in the muslim world emid the israelite genocide in gaza. for his part jalil abbas gilani highlighted pakistan's brotherly and constructive ties with iran and said that terrorism is the two country's common enemy. in the united states, the election season is

already here, but with far more uh dread than hope. many believe there will be even more term this november than in 2020 with widespread concerns about election related violence. romi mazari has more on the story. the united states election campaign has just officially begun 10 months before going to the voting booth. in iowa, ex-president donald trump easily won the republican party's kickoff to primary season, but he's still as controversial as ever. many openly claim that his return to the white house would produce civil war, retribution tribunals, dictatorship, and even worse. in new hampshire, a revolt against the democratic.

68, the parallels are uncanning, chicago convention, etc., etc., i think very good chance biden will pull out in the first quarter of this year and not be the nominee, so i think anything, anything and everything will happen. with both candidates having such high disapproval ratings and amid such economic, political, and military disaster, it's widely expected that both candidates will run extremely negative campaigns. i'm expecting a brutal campaign, they they're all garbage in in some way or another and uh hope for the best uh for the country, i mean how i

end up voting, i guess is my own part'. their decision when the time comes, but uh, certainly don't like where the country's at today. biden support for israel's latest war on gaza has deeply angered his critical base of young voters. many muslim and arab americans have vowed to not cast vote for biden. either group could tip the balance in what poles expect to be the fourth consecutive presidential election to be decided by less than four and a half points. i think that's... that's the crip tonight for joe biden, he's he's screwed up that that uh situation so badly that you know the younger generations turned against him, and i don't see, if he continues with his stance on on gaza, i don't see like the younger generation uh coming back for his his support. the war against gaza will also drastically shape congressional elections. a recent nationwide poll found that voters prefer candidates who support a ceasefire in gaza to those who

don't by a whopping too. 201 margin ramin masahari press tv chicago with that we come to the end of this bulleton, thank you for being with us, take care and bye-bye.
