time for fair, but this one's far from brivolous, it's iran's defense exhibition on all things military and domestically made. it was held on 9th november and was followed by military maneuver two days later in kermon. from drones to missils the country's defense capabilities were sampled for display. it was a show of independence and the ability to secure. the country safety and maintain balance regionally and internationally. hello and welcome to yet another episode of iran today. that's right, a long time iran doesn't need

to import the bulk of its needed military commodities, it is 90% independent. this is ali abdi, an iranian political analyst. we find ourselves in a situation where we produce our armaments independently, the passing mear discussions of overhaul or maintenance. presently the production lies with our capabilities. the aerospace forces, especially the revolutionary guards, 100% of productions are indigenous. in the ground forces, over 90% of the equipment is domestically manufactured in the naval forces, iran stands among the few countries in the world producing seaforing vessels. the latest news we have in the unvailing of the dayla manka massel, scheduled for november 28 following jamaran, damavan and other vessels had. in western asia region, we stand alone in producing marit vessels. we are the sole country in this region producing various missile types. we proudly boast 100% indigenous. drone production in terms of

military production and indigenous military industries in western asia, practically we have few equals. that's a long way from just decades ago when even needed to import barbed wire, barbed wire which it was denied. in fact, it was during the impost eight-year iraq iran war of the 80s, what is known in iran as the holy defense that the western and eastern blocks united for the first time since the cold war against what they assumed as a common enemy. minimal dealings with the uk primarily from the western block, we had eastern block except for few vehicles, our air force had 100% dependency on western resources, even the overs were conducted by american technicians, the navy followed the

most significant tank we possessed, chiefing tank was suitable for iran or our region. admittedly, it procurement was a mistake according to experts, it wasn't feeding for our country, in a sense, it was solely consumers, as per sales protocols, we had no right to modify or overhall these items, if given permission, american or european technicians had to be present over sea, primarily it was due to iran's lack of manufacturing capabilities, for million and deal breaking which has on guard began centuries ago. an example as recent as the 1950 is what has been termed the 1953 kud of attack whereby america and britain had a hand in topping the democrat elected government prime minister. after the revolution came the eight year war sanctions. sanctions extended to this day, while america and allies continue to establish military strongholds west asia and dispatch forces and state of the art military equipment to it. and so defense capability and more. more

specifically, the turren defense capability is matter of basic survival to iran. this is dr. he is a graduate of international relations from tehran university. we asked him about the significance of the faire. why is it important? none of the military power equipment to our country, especially in region, the tumultuous region known to the western world as the middle east where our neighbors include turkey. native member and saudi arabia, the world's largest arms importer and buyer. we exist in a region where both our western and eastern sides are constant term and terrorism group. we have the presence of isis and ala, we have had numerous wars in origin, direct presence and military campaigns by the united states in the past 20 years and our borders in afghanistan, iraq and the persian gulf. us aircraft carriers, b-52s and nuclear submarines are present in our region. when weapons aren't sold to you, like uae, saudi arabia or turkey where you can't buy e 35 f32

or russian s400 systems or various armaments that neighboring countries are constantly purchasing. what should you do defend ourselves with our own hands, we must build it ourself. amongst. was new missile, the fact two hypersonic, which is super ultrasonic with glide and cruise capabilities, it is class as hgv and hcms, only four countries have such hypersonic weapons, one of them being iran. to know more, we talk to mr. mohammed, an iranian security and defense researcher. the second is the news missile achievement of the islamic republic of iran, and only four countries in the world possess this technology operationally, iran being one of them. this missile operates at extremely high speeds and its specific purpose is to render the enemy's air defense ineffective. in the

event of a potential conflict, this missile will initiate the first wave of attacks, neutralizing the enemy's defense systems. we can derive the mission of this missile from its name fatah meaning opener or uncloser. in a sense, the fatah missile serves as an opener for other missiles, making it easier for them to reach their targets. in the defensive warfare section, systems for response to micro flyers or wing microships were display as well as missile systems with range of 20 to 320 kilometers. the merron mobile defense system was on display. it is capable of engaging a variety of aerial targets a range of 320 km, it is teller system, its radar, missile and command posts are mounted on auto vehicle, each system is equipped with four mehron one miss. we ask shaltuki about the distinguishing feature of mehron mobile defense system. a long-range

advance system with the key feature of mobility. the enemy can never target this system because once it fires it swiftly changes positions. this capability of maneuverability and mobility is the primary feature of the par system with range of 320 kilometers. it can target enemy aircraft like irix, fuel carrying aircraft and strategic bombers like the american b1 and b2 bomber. the show head 147 drone or uav that is unmanned aerial vehicle was another height of the day, it is a wide body plane with a wing length of 26 meters and can fly at 60,000 feet and detect objects and entities a distance of a thous kilometers. it is the latest uv achievement of the irgc aerospace force. another done on display was the shahed 139. introduction of two new models from the

drone family shall had in these exhibitions shall had one that... 9 and shahed 147 showcased with shahed 147 being considerably large and extraordinary drone presented. this aircraft can fly up to an altitude of 6000 feet and can ass to an altitude of 30 kilometers. additionally, it possesses a significantly high endurance for continuous flight remaining in the sky for hours, even consecutively for two to three days conducting represens and information gathering operations. the exhibition was to display achievements the aerospace force of the irgc or the islamic revolutionary guard court. all the latest or upgraded creations by the irgc's young aerospace scientists were exhibited under the name from ideas to all iranian products. another section of the

exhibition displayed latest measures and advancements in satellite carrying missiles and sending satellites into space. this is mehdi bachtiari of tasnim news agency. he told us about the importance of the. two crucial arms are considered drones and missiles, both of these are the most critical areas of work for the aerospace force. balistic missiles, especially long rage ones are fully under the control of the air space force of the guards, while drones are primarily in their peri. drones have a brother spectrum. flues and other forces also utilized, but the major portion of iran's defensive doctrine is wasted in the air space force of the cars, making this exhibition extremely significant in that regard. the exhibition was attended by the commander of all forces ayatullah, he didn't leave without

comment at the displays, also demonstrated to him as the upgraded sysm 9 day. he said, what's most important is need assessment and scientific. focus and research on those needs, ultimately it is motivation stemming from belief that makes scientific achievements possible. our present victories must not make us complacent, however because military and non-military sec elsewhere in importance of this the world are constantly moving forward. mr. shaltuki told us about the significance of visit to the faire. leader highlights the force and its ensemble primarily everyone. secondly, international and external message conveyed by his excellency's visit to the exhibition show this is the high level of readiness through the abilities and equipment displayed. when the leader visits. ensemble and inspects the facilities created by the children of the nation, an essential point

images, his excellency is sense and statements in the future and what they communicate beyond iran's borders signify tangible power he observed during his v. he wines commendable equipment plate for the first time in exhibition. given the geostrategic sensitivity of iran's location and position, you can see why defense capability matter so much, and when we say that... military doctrine is preempted self-defense, we mean exactly that because the islamic remitted to all universal humane ethical values. geostrategic concerns generally decide a country's military strategy, power specially secular hegemonic powers continue to pursue empire by dividing to rule. they roof for the independence of provinces and portions of countries by provoking a sense of separate identity or singular hardship. to do so, they have pursued long-term plans of planting traterous governments in set countries, or by starting

proxy wars, or even by planting proxy regimes such as israel to help in running regions for them. the us and nato, it would appear destroy the fundamentals of arms control and are involved in heightened cyber crimes, bioterrorism, fundamentalism and ecosystem challenges among others. an obvious example of how they bring independent countries to their needs is imposing sanctions on them. mr. stopter, it fostered its allies in the region, including hizbullah, ansarullah in

yemen, or in iraq and syria. these were indeed regions where we witnessed significant events in recent years. the middle east and these countries were among the most populated areas in the world. there were wars in syria, in iraq, conflicts in yemen, all of these estabilizes when you're powerful enough to defend yourself and establish that peace. what did the palestinies do to the world? what is this global prising for palestine? fashion lovers at create platforms in public squares and palestinian colors, musicians ignite the stage with palestinian songs, famous journalists resigned because they were not free to report events about palestine, activists, cartoonist, artists, academics, drivers, trade unionists, young and old, people from every profession and every speciality you can think of, are abandoning the... silence and pasivity and rebelling, shouting into the world, into the death fears their own governments, free palestine.

intifada returns as liberation, this week on the midstream. there's plenty more right after a quick glance at some news exerps. hello everyone and welcome back to news exerps from all across the world, now we start with a piece of news from iran. iran always upgraded hypersonic missile asrael failure. the iranian show of force comes amid height and us military presence in region after israel began bumming gaza. now another item, iran unveils advanced ballistic hypersonic glide vehicle war head. defense and security middle east rights. a significant technological lip the islamic revolution god's core aerospace force

unveiled the latest version of the fatah ballistic missile designated as tata second. this advanced missile is equipped with a hypersonic vehicle war head, making it a formal addition to iran's military arsenal. now fourth content hyperson attack expert calls iran's fatah the second, for preemptive strikes. the rasian times rise. months after restoned the world by unveiling its first hypersonic missile, iran showed off an improved variant quote named the second in a military display on november the 19th. iran is ready with israeli heating missiles (isilc) the sign chronical writes the irgc's aerospace top commander brigadier general amizader said the us does not there to threaten iran a military attack. washington sent correspondences to iran three times in a single light and award of all these correspondences contained requests and

begging not escalate regional tensions amit the ongoing is really aggression and again. we are a high... of our power and we have prepared ourselves for any eventuality he said. now igc conducts tactical rails in southern iran. teren times writes, iranian authorities have made it clear time and again that iran would never negotiate away its defense capabilities and will never hesitate to bolster its military might, particularly its missile capacity, which is only intended for defense. that's it for me, thank you so much for being with us and see you later. independence in the defense industry means the less vulnerability possible in the face of strikes, shakes, sanctions and pressures from outside. it also awards a good chance for multilateral and bilateral international cooperation and technological transfers with cooperative countries. the exhibition didn't go without a practical display. the irgc ground forces put a tactical maneuver under

the chief of the armed forces general staff, general barhari 21st november. particip. pollution and we couldn't even buy missiles, therefore we had experience, however self-sufficiency in the missile domain was area where we had no prior experience before the revolution, we couldn't even buy missiles, therefore we had no experience, however self-sufficiency in the missile domain was established during the war years and concurrently the drone industry also came

into play during that time, it progressed to point where content used to be a significant importer of equipment is now an exporter few days ago the deputy defense minister mentioned very high figure. i can't recall the exact amount where it was $1 billion dollars or another figure indicating or export of products. we not only managed to meet our own needs in various sectors, but also have reached the stage of exports. general staff chief said this maneuver was just... small display of strength by the armed forces. today iran's armed forces are renowned for their formidability and our enemies are well aware of it. dr. bazargan told us that iran has no choice but to stand on it own feet when it comes to defense. after 40 years we have succeeded in doing so remarkable missile and drone capabilities

reaching significant points in the region acknowledged and claimed by many other countries as possessing high level capabilities. iranian drones renowned for their deterrant value are as crucial to us as it is for saudi arabia to acquire a 35 from the us, it special for our own deterrant capabilities in the region. iran has made arms and equipments for ground, air and sea, from namely ballistic and cruise missiles to a variety of uavs, marine and submarine vessels, cyber meats, electronic warfare, sort weapons and artificial intelligence. mr. abdi sayid why tehran was tilted towards investing in the... one of the primary regions of asimtric warfare in the world was the iran iraq, especially in the maritime arena. our confrontation missiles with range up to 80 kilometers pos serious threats to the us fleets in the area. since then iran's

defensive strategy primarily focused on an asymmetric approach. one of the pillars of this symmetric approach is mr. capability in circumstances where we were under arms sanctions during and after the sacred defense particularly in the real domain where we weren't provided with aircraft and lack the ability to reconstruct our military air fleet we moved reinforcing this aspect for another perspective which was missile capability it's been over 24 trillion tomons last year that's about $46 million dollars its trick in recent years has been to science space companies to work, today, 3,400 companies from monk private sectors are working with the ministry of defense, as are 775 science based companies, 3 trillion iran has achieved in

the defense industry is unprecedented in the history of international relations در برابریه باید to the us, europe and nato to sell them weapons against russia, today as the gaza conflict. drops in israel and washington says we must ai israel, which means may reduce our support for ukraine. zelenski is heavily worried and afraid of what to do if support for you falters. if you possess military capabilities and technology, you not only worry about that day, but become an explorer yourself. we are now an explorer in the military domain. a sanction country has reached a point where many countries, including our neighbors in the middle east demand to purchase missiles and drones from us. in my opinion, this is an exceptional capability. unprecedented in the history of international relations where a country after 40 years of sanctions has reached the ability even to export weapons. ceprie or the

stockholm international peace research institute testifies to fact that iran's arms imports were close to zero between 2018 and 2022. this is not what the west desires, according to mr. abby, a country that doesn't need western military equipment and even worse, it can export in this field. weapons, merily presenting superficial reasons to preserve military industrial complex of the us, europe and israel to safeguard their prices, however, even various countries, according to the statements from irgc air force commander as well as other defence officials have requested arms purchases from iran european countries have also sold arms from iran. we have received requests from asia. africa and latin america. russia, as revealed in the ukrainian war is also involved. iran's military and defense capability has meant the ability to act as

power balancing scales in west asia and the world. in with establishing safety and stability, it has fought and trained to fight terror groups such as daesh, hence many countries have sought to expand their defense cooperation with this country. iran's look is to expand a bilateral and multilateral defense diplomacy. and to participate actively in taking regional and international security measures. looking at how hegemonic powers have been toppled every time throughout history, the converging of independent countries of today will make way for the establishment of fair multipolar world, but that has to be seen actuality to make a program on it. still we'll be back next week with another topic, in the meantime, take care. people in israel mark prime as holiday to commemorate the saving of

the jewish people from annihilation at the hands of the kaite empire in persia, as it is recounted in the book of esther, they've been using the occasion to the victim, but what's the reality and is there truth in it? what is documentary to gain some insight?

as hundreds of people have more.
