hello everyone, you're watching press tv live from the studios in tevan. thank you for joining us. now the yemen army says it has carried out another operation against an american vessel navigating through the red sea. spokesman for yemen's armed forces yaya sari said in a statement that the operation took place in the gulf of aden with appropriate. missiles resulting in a direct hit. sari reaffirmed that marine traffic in the arab and red seas will continue to all destinations around the world except for ports in the occupied palestinian territories. he also warned that the recent attacks on yemen by the united states and the uk will not go without response and unpunished. sari said yemen's operations are in support of the people of gaza emid israel's genocidal war. he stressed that operations against ships. by or bound for

israel will continue until the israeli onslot and siege of gaza end. this is while the leader of yemenlah movement has vowed that their attacks on israeli linked ships will continue despite us threats and air strikes. this aggression will not change anything in the stands 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, and the last one was last night against the ships, it will also include the american and british ships. abdul malik al huti lashed out of washington over his complicity in israel's genocidal war on gaza, calling the war a us-managed killing campaign. he said the us insists on the

continuation of the genocide in gaza and uses the media to white wash israeli crimes. al-huthi said, americans have a dark history of committing crimes against various peoples of the world and are known for their moral bankruptcy. he also said yemani forces will continue to develop their military capabilities and that the recently strikes by the united states and the united kingdom on yemen do not scare them. this aggression will not change. 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. the yemani leader called the us, uk and israel the access of evil. he said what the palestinian people are subject. to is unjust

and districtive aggression in violation of all laws and norms. he lamented that the israely war machine committed over 2000 massacres against palestinians in the past 100 days. political commentator hussen albuiti joined us earlier from yemen's capital sang he says the fact that the yemeni army has attacked two us ships after washington does. nated ansaralah movement as a terrorist organization is a clear sign that anti-israely operations will intensify and will soon include the uk ships as well. designation of the united states doesn't, i mean in here in yemen, they don't care about that, but they are honored uh to to to have that realistin 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, mean the have destruction wherever they go, so we are honored to be designated as terrorist because as always they say one man terrorist is another man freedom fighter and i just want to add that there are three ship that united states owned ship that has been uh targeted uh two of them was after this relisting of ansarullah as a terrorist organization and there is a clear message that here in yemen they actually will can will not stop their attack but they will continue their attack against israeli linked ship or israeli own ship. or ships going toward israel and sayid abdul malik have said today that as well british ship will come under attack and as yahya sar the spokeperson of yemani army have said in his statement that the retaliation of the attack on yemen by the united states and

uk it will and it's still to come now the iraqi prime minister has reiterated this government's opposition to the presence of us forces in the country. muhammad shial says, american troops must leave as daesh is no longer a threat to iraq. the reasons for the presence of coalitions forces were to confront daesh. today the security situation, to the testimony of all specialists in iraq and friends, daesh does not pose a threat to the iraqi state. today, after the repercussions and attacks on the iraqi security headquarters. "we have the right to start this dialogue immediately in order to reach an agreement on arranging a timetable for the end of the mission of international advisors. sudani was addressing panel discussion at the world economic forum in the swiss city of davas. he said ending the us

military presence is crucial for iraq security and stability. it is remarks came as us bases in iraq have been repeatedly attacked by iraqi resistance groups. over washington support for the israeli genocide in gaza. in response, the us military has launched attacks on iraq's popular mobilization units, killing a number of their members. the iraqi government has slammed the us attacks as violation of the country's sovereignty. last year, sudani vowed before the iraqi parliament to put an end to us military presence in the country. political comment says that. christopher halali has shared his views on this issue with us. he says the united states insistance on maintaining a military presence in iraq is actually aimed at being close to iran to show up anti-iranian terror groups. everywhere the

us goes, they bring with them destruction, kudatas, color revolutions and so on and so forth. the main idea here for us to analyze is why the us has stayed after all of these years since the defeat of daesh, and we recognize and we can understand that the reason isn't about daesh, the reason isn't about iraq, the reason is ultimately about iran. the reason is to have a military position close enough to the islamic republic of iran, where the united states can continue to project its, its power, and of course we know from the the the former national security advisor johnton that the united states has been funneling arms and equipment to various terrorist entities across the border into iran and has been funding and training and promoting terrorist organizations that seek to overthrow the

islamic republic like the terrorist organization, the mujahadin of halk in albania, so of course we recognize that the us being there is one to project its aims. at tehran, it has nothing to do with anybody else in the region. a us military drone has been shot down in northern iraq while flying close to the border with iran. according to early reports, the mq9 reaper drone was shot down near the iraki city of muktadia in diala province. the unmanned airreal vehicle had reportedly taken off from the us air forces ali al salam base in. wait, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet, the development came amid heightened tensions and simmering anti-american sentiments across the region. during recent months, iraqi resistance forces have carried out attacks on american bases, both in iraq and neighboring syria on an almost daily basis. the attacks

took place in response to us support for the israeli regime's genocide in gaza. and in the latest edition of press tv's explainer program, mahdi abbastian offers some insight into the islamic resistance in iraq and his recent spate of anti-us and anti-israely operations. let's take a look. "there has been a massive increase from regional resistance groups in targeting us assets in the region, in particular syria and iraq. the iraqi resistance group in particular has taken it to another level by claiming responsibility for targeting israel's haipa. this may signal a new front that the islamic resistance has opened against israel. when it comes to the islamic resistance in iraq, it is umbrella group which means..." it is representative of roughly 62 resistance groups that operate out of iraq. they all

share a common goal to drive us forces out of iraq and syria which they view as source of instability, but why have these groups increased their attack since october 7th, their mission statement is to show solidarity with palestinians in gaza and the grave injustices by the occupying entity against palestinians, that it will continue to hit enemy strongholds, warning that more is yet to come, from. first look at the attacks that took place against ha. this is the general area of the region from the western iraqi deserts, the missiles were launched and hit two targets in ha. the islamic resistance in iraq used the long range alab upgraded cruise missile. it traveled a distance of almost 700 kms and hit infrastructure in haifa again haifa port and the other ha oil refinery. the range of this missile is significant, the distance this long-range cruise missile travel to hifa means that all other israeli

occ israeli targets in occupied territories are within the range of iraqi fire. the resistance groups have increased targeting us interests since october 7th, like anal assad airbase, al-harir airbase and erbal airport. it should be noted that the presence of us forces in iraq has been opposed by iraqi parliamentarians that us forces should leave the... country all together, and here are some of the us military bases targeted in syria, altanf, kobani and mambege, rather, us forces have also been targeted at the al-umar oil field in deirazul governoret. keep in mind that some of these locations you see here in syria and ones you saw before in iraq have come under multiple attacks. here's a tally of the number of times... us assets have been targeted in the two countries, around 130 attacks against its troops in iraq

and syria since october with 78 in syria and 52 in iraq. some 100 us soldiers have been injured in terms of the us troops presence in iraq and syria. there were roughly 2,500 american troops in iraq and some 900 the're in syria. the us has a struck resistance groups in iraq and in syria, but the major us retaliation came recently when it carried out a targeted assassination in baghdad, violating the country's sovereignty. the person the us assassinated was the iraqi leader mushtak taleb al-sidi. the us blamed him for attacks against us forces in the country. welcome to the palestinian village of alaqaba. it's in the northern jordan valley. you think life here would be relatively simple and uncomplicated? for palestinians in area se uh that the way that

israel treats is hostile population, it makes them their lives as difficult as possible. those palestinian families who live in in almost about 52 communities without any kind of service, israel's focus is on area c. this is the goal, the immediate goal. welcome back, earlier this week, iran's islamic revolution guards coified the barrage of missiles at an espinage center of the israel spy agency mossad in iraqi kurdistan region. one of those killed in the operation was the kurdish multimillionaire oil tycoon, pishro majid agha dezay. now, photos obtained by

press tv establishes mosad connections and how he was vital cock in the israel spy agencies operations in the iraqi kirdistan, mainly against iran. one of the photos shows dizai. who had close tires with mosad with a zanis rabbi at event held to celebrate the jewish festival of yum kipur. another photo shows him besides mosad agent ilan. the commander of an anti-iran terrorist group. according to informed sources, iran was kisad officer who coordinated the agency's operations in iran and iraq. kirdistan, the sources say ilan was also killed in the iogc attack along with four other members of his espinage team. dezay had made a fortune from illegal export of iraqi oil to the televiv regime. he also headed the falcon group conglomerate with business interest in security, oil, gas, construction and

agriculture. 105 days into the israeli war in the gaza strip and the regime continues with his carpet bombings or bombing campaign across the beseed territory. the total death toll has now passed 24,600 with nearly 62 thousand others wounded. israel has lately stepped up a strikes on the southern areas in the gaza strip. gaza's health ministry says the occupation has committed 15 massacres against families in the gaza strip killing 172 people in a span of 24 hours. the ministry says a number of victims are still under the rubble and in blocked streets that ambulance crews and civil defense personnel cannot reach. this as

communications and internet services are completely cut off in what areas of god. for the seventh time since october the 7th, highly illegal, highly unlawful, that's how a un rights expert describes measures taken by the israel regime and the beseest gaza strip. the un special raporter on the occupied palestinian territory slammed the relentless israely bombardment of highly crowded areas in gaza, as violation of international law. francesca albanesi said the regime used six. bombs per week during the first two weeks of his aggression alone. she added that a good number of gaza's hospitals have been closed, bombed or taken over by israel. the un official said the number of kids who lose one or two limbs in gaza every day is shocking. albernese said during the first two months of israeli unslaught 100 kids underwent amputation without anesthesia, describing it

as a monstrosity. israel is currently facing case at the international court of justice for crimes that has committed in gaza. palestinian investment fund chairman mohammed mustafa has called for more humanitarian effects in gaza saying more people are likely to die of hunger and famon than the ongoing war. he was speaking at the world economic forum in davos. let's take a listen. the catastrophe and the... humanitarian impact of this war is much bigger than 2014, unfortunately we cannot avoid, but feel very bad for the families and the people of palestine for the repeated uh wars against him, and i hope this time around will be the last time, uh, i think the humanitarian

effort is a priority, and i think that... "war has to stop, i think the military action got to stop very quickly, there's no need for anybody to build their political careers at the expense of more palestinian people, so it's time to to be bold, i think the international community, all the stakeholders, which we all appreciate, have to move and move fast and boldly to stop this aggression, unfortunately the..." devastation is huge, we have, if not, we are not careful, maybe more people will be killed or or die from hunger and famin than the war itself, so we do want to wait long to see that happening, i think the time to move is now, which is to bring in the military wing of the

palestinian resistance movement, hamas has launched retaliatory. against the israel regime as fighting on the ground in the gaza strip intensifies. the algason brigade says it has targeted multiple israeli military vehicles including merkaver tanks on thursday. the resistance als said it blew up building where over 30 israeli forces had gathered. reports say at least five iof troopers have been killed and several others injured as a result. israel has so far confirmed the loss of over 190 soldiers since the onset of his ground invasion of gaza on october 27th. palestinian resistance groups however say the actual

number of casualties amongst israeli forces is much higher and that the regime is covering up its losses for propaganda purposes. now the lebanese resistance movement hezbollah and israely forces have exchanged fire at the border in is south of lebanon. hezbollah has issued a statement confirming that it has precisely targeted several israeli positions with the appropriate weapons. mayam saleh, our correspondent in beirot, joined us earlier with more details on that. we had several operations today in the area for of birkatisha. we had also attack and an operation against a group of soldiers in the area. of admit uh in addition to almaltia and summaka that are closer to the shaba farms area, the lebanese occupied territories of shabat farms, hizballah also conducted

several operations there and some operations they use the word appropriate weapons and other operations, they say in their statements that they use missile forces. we are hearing from the israeli media usually the forest statement is issued by hisballah that an anti-tank missile was sounded in certain area. or it hit certain targets in the galili region seems hazballah has been using the very advanced form of anti-tank and anti-vehicle uh missile very efficiently actually uh in manners that has surprised the israelies, they're not using them only against tanks or against vehicles, of course they're using them against post and even against gatherings of soldiers whatever the sea soldiers are using them to target them, of course israeli f-16s were... spotted very easily today in the skies of south lebanon, they launched several massive shelling against itarun specifically and also as well,

we had two very heavy shelling in those areas, the bombs were seen actually flying down in in addition to the fact that the drones were flying hysterically over south lebanon, even reaching further areas and israely shelling has not only been limited to the border town, as we know for the last uh week or so we have seen instances of israeli shelling in areas that are a far away from the border and that we are told is a an indication that the israelies are attempting escalate the situation. iran's armed forces have launched a large scale military exercise featuring indigenously developed air defense systems.

various divisions of the iranian army and the islamic revolution gards court take part. in the maneuvers along iran's southern coastland with the persian gulf and the sea of oman, dozens of jets and drones display a raft of modern warfare tactics at different altitudes by hitting mock targets. also, number of advanced military systems are used for the first time during the drill. iran's armed forces regularly hold military maneuvers to elevate their preparedness and showcase the prowers. in recent years, iranian experts and engineers have made remarkable breakthroughs in developing and manufacturing a broad range of equipment making the armed forces self-sufficient, and that's it for this hours
