00:00Iranian Armed Forces launched the 12th phase of Operation True Promise 3 on Wednesday evening with new generation missiles.
00:19In Palestine, occupation forces have killed over 130 people in the last 24 hours during different massacres across Gaza.
00:35And tens of thousands of people march through the main avenues of Buenos Aires, Argentina, against the sentence of former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
00:49Hello and welcome to From the South. My name is Belen de los Santos. I'm from the Telestor Studios in Havana, Cuba. We'll begin with the news.
01:12We now begin with the information with the situation in the Middle East.
01:16Iranian Armed Forces launched the 12th phase of Operation True Promise 3 on Wednesday evening with new generation missiles.
01:25Iran stated that tens of destructive drones of different types of the Islamic Republic of Iran army with anti-fortification warheads were launched towards the occupied territories and inflicted heavy blows on the designated targets.
01:42The latest wave of the retaliatory operation, which began Wednesday afternoon in response to the Israeli regime's brutal aggression against the Islamic Republic,
01:52came barely hours after leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Zayed Ali Khamenei, issued a message.
02:00The Ayatollah Khamenei said the Iranian nation would firmly stand against an opposed war and will never surrender to any form of imposition.
02:12The Iranian nation will stand firm against this imposed war, just as it has stood firm against the imposed weapons.
02:26The Iranian nation will not surrender to anyone's imposition.
02:29I hope that intellectuals and speakers, especially those with the greatest connection to world public opinion, will express these concepts.
02:39Likewise, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, stated that the incident occurred while certain negotiations were being set with the US government.
02:48This was a historical incident.
02:54It was a very revealing incident.
02:57The second issue is that this incident was a senseless and evil invasion by the Israeli regime.
03:04It happened while government officials were holding negotiations with the United States side.
03:10There was no principled problem in Iran that would indicate a military maneuver, as it was a sudden and drastic action.
03:21Of course, it is clear from the beginning that the United States regime is involved in this evil maneuver.
03:26And in this sense, the Supreme Leader of Iran emphasized that the Iranian nation does not fear the threats imposed by the Zionist regime.
03:39The Iranian nation has shown that in the face of threats from those who threaten us, there is no fear, no fear or trepidation, and the announcement of believers is a great thing.
03:50The Iranian nation appreciates this.
03:52The threat does not affect its behavior.
03:54For the Iranian nation, asking it to surrender is like not conducting yourself like a gentleman.
03:59These are people with conscience who know Iran, know the Iranian nation, know its history.
04:04Precisely the comments of the Iranian supreme leader come after U.S. President Donald Trump called for the unconditional surrender of Iran to the Israeli aggressions.
04:18Let's listen.
04:22Two very simple words.
04:24A very simple, unconditional surrender.
04:26That means I've had it.
04:28Okay, I've had it.
04:29I give up.
04:29I know more.
04:30Then we go blow up all the military, you know, all the nuclear stuff that's all over the place there.
04:38Media outlets aligned with international Zionism have once again tried to manipulate reality, claiming that Iranian helicopter gunships were attacked in the province of Kermanshah.
04:51However, the available images and evidence showed that the target of the alleged attack was a replica with no records of secondary explosions that confirmed the version spread by these sources.
05:04In this regard, the Iranian armed forces have reiterated that their strategic equipment is under maximum security.
05:12Likewise, the Islamic Republic assured that any attempt of aggression by the Zionist regime would be responded with firmness.
05:21And a U.S. report revealed that the Israeli regime is facing a shortage of defensive ammunition amid the Iranian response against the Jewish nation.
05:43According to the document, the Israeli missile arsenal is running out in the face of the dozen missiles that Iran is sending in retaliation to the Zionist aggression against Iran.
05:55The text details that this emergency would lead Tel Aviv to present difficulties in countering Iranian attacks in the long term.
06:04Likewise, the report detailed that the United States is aware of the shortages that Israel is facing, which is Washington's reason to work to strengthen the Zionist defense.
06:22And Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Moscow could help negotiate a settlement that could allow Tehran to pursue a peaceful atomic program.
06:33While assuring the Israeli security concerns.
06:38Speaking to senior news leaders of international news agencies on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Putin said it was a delicate issue, but that a solution could be found.
06:51The Russian President also informed that he had shared Moscow's proposal with Iran, Israel and the United States,
06:58but reiterated that the final decision is up to the political leadership of all these countries, primarily Iran and Israel.
07:07The Russian leader emphasized that Russia has a trusting relationship with Iran and had built its first nuclear power plant in Boucher.
07:17During his meeting with the senior news leaders of international news agencies in St. Petersburg, Russian President Vladimir Putin urged to find a peaceful solution to the Israel-Iran conflict
07:35and reiterated any agreement reached need to address the interests of both nations.
07:40And to find ways to reach an agreement for all parties to the conflict so that the interests of Iran could be ensured on the one hand, when it comes to its peaceful nuclear activities, naturally peaceful nuclear activities.
07:50And I'm also talking about peaceful nuclear energy and peaceful use of nuclear energy in other areas, as well as ensuring the interests of Israel in terms of unconditional security of the Jewish state.
08:20And France proposes an initiative to establish a dialogue between Iran and Israel to end the conflict.
08:29The French President Emmanuel Macron urged European leaders to seek a negotiated and demanding solution to end the confrontation between Tehran and Tel Aviv.
08:40The French leader expressed his concern over the increase in civilian casualties due to the massive attacks on targets unrelated to the Iranian nuclear program.
08:51The French head of state instructed the foreign ministry to facilitate the evacuation of French citizens from both Iran and Israel.
09:05Meanwhile, more international repercussions in a speech to legislators from his ruling party.
09:10On Wednesday, the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, further condemned Israel's aggressions in the region and reaffirmed Iran's legitimate right to self-defense.
09:22All of our institutions and relevant colleagues are on alert regarding the possible effects of these attacks on our country.
09:35We have made and are making preparations against all kinds of negativity and all kinds of scenarios.
09:41It is a perfectly natural and legitimate legal right for Iran to defend itself against the state terrorism and banditry by Israel.
09:55Now, we have a short break coming up. But first, remember, you can join us on TikTok at Tell Us for English, where you will find news in different formats, news updates and much more.
10:03We'll be right back. Stay with us.
10:05Welcome back to From the South. We continue with more information.
10:21During a general audience on Wednesday at St. Peter's Square in the Vatican City, Pope Leo XIV alerted about the dangers of the current conflicts.
10:31The Supreme Pontiff pointed out that the church is distressed by the wars being waged in Russia, Ukraine and also the Middle East.
10:40The bishop emphasized that we must not get used to the war so that the wars must be rejected and rejected also the temptation of using powerful and sophisticated weapons.
10:54Likewise, Pope Leo XIV considered that the scientific weapons used in wars threatened to lead the world into a barbarism greater than that of past times.
11:12A massive demonstration by academics failed the streets of the Pakistani capital Islamabad condemning Israeli aggression against Palestine and also Iran.
11:22Participants expressed their solidarity by carrying banners rejecting Israeli crimes, emphasizing that the Palestinian cause is a religious and humanitarian priority.
11:33In this regard, Pakistani social leaders highlighted that the struggle will continue until the liberation of the region is achieved.
11:41Pakistani ulemats also called for Islamic unity in the face of the Western war on Islam, criticizing the United Nations' inability to protect the Palestinians.
11:53And the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, ensured that there is no evidence of a systematic effort by Iran to develop nuclear weapons.
12:11I mean, there is this competition about who is wrong or right about the time that would be needed.
12:18Certainly, it was not for tomorrow.
12:21Maybe not a matter of years.
12:24I would there be perhaps more serious about this and I don't think it was a matter of years.
12:30But this is speculation.
12:31But this is speculation.
12:32Why?
12:33I go again to the beginning of my comment.
12:36These things we don't know.
12:38Because if there was some activity which was clandestine or hidden or away from our inspectors, we couldn't know.
12:46So, what we informed and what we reported was that we did not have, as in coincidence with some of the sources you mentioned there, that we did not have any proof of a systematic effort to move into a nuclear weapon.
13:08And in this context, unilaterally, U.S. President Donald Trump engaged the country in the conflict between Israel and Iran.
13:16Without consulting Congress, he asserted that the nation was participating in Israel's air defense system.
13:22However, more than 60% of U.S. citizens reject this statement.
13:27According to the survey conducted by YouGov, 60% of those interviewed, including Republicans, do not share the opinions of the head of state regarding intervention in the war,
13:37the threats against the supreme leader of the Islamic revolution or the ultimatum on the nuclear process.
13:4365% of Democrats surveyed strongly oppose it.
13:4753% of Republicans also oppose it.
13:50And 61% of the independent population agrees with this opinion.
13:55Several legislators, including Republicans, also do not want to see the nation involved in the confrontations between Tel Aviv and Tehran.
14:07And in Palestine, occupation forces have killed over 130 people in the last 24 hours,
14:34in what is being described as Israeli and U.S. hunger traps.
14:38By product of famine, thousands of Palestinians continue to flock to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's food distribution centers.
14:47It is there where Israeli military should civilians under the excuse of safeguarding food.
14:54To date, hundreds have been killed and even more injured at these U.S. bag distribution centers.
15:01U.N. Humanitarian Coordinator Jonathan Wittall assured that Nasser Hospital is overcrowded due to the high number of wounded being admitted.
15:12And during the resumption of the 10th emergency session of the United Nations on Palestine,
15:22Nicaragua reaffirmed its condemnation of Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people.
15:28Jaime Ramida, Nicaragua's representative, called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire as well as access to humanitarian aid.
15:37He stressed that there will be no peace in the Middle East as long as the occupation of Palestinian territories and the theft of their land are systematic.
15:48Hermida vindicated the Palestinian people's resistance as it represents the struggle of peoples worldwide.
15:55He reaffirmed that Nicaragua will continue to defend justice, peace and respect for international law.

16:35Final short break, don't go away.
16:48Welcome back to From the South, we continue with more information.
16:51Tens of thousands of people march through the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina
16:57against the sentence of former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
17:02On Wednesday, political, trade unions and social organizations gathered to protest against the six-year prison sentence against Cristina Fernandez.
17:11The demonstrators rallied in the Mayo Square with banners and slogans to express their support to the leader of the Justicialist Party.
17:20Meanwhile, another group of citizens also gathered in front of the residents of Cristina Fernandez in Buenos Aires to show their support.
17:27Precisely in this context, the former Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez addressed the crowds gathered in Mayo Square
17:43and highlighted her desire and her will to have again a country with fair incomes for all the working class.
17:50My will to have again a country where the boys and girls have for meals a day, books and computers in their schools.
18:03Workers that can make ends meet and also save to buy a little house, a little piece of land, something that is theirs obtained with their effort and as a result of their work.
18:15In line with Paranism, where the pensioners had remedies, that country was not a utopia.
18:25We lived it for two and a half years and we left it without any debt, the same as the families.
18:32In this context, Fernandez also affirmed that the neoliberal model implemented by Millet's government is unsustainable.
18:49How do you sustain an economic model where people have to pay their daily food with their cards and later they cannot pay their card debts?
19:01How can a country survive when it is much cheaper to buy food and clothes abroad than in the country?
19:09And while this is happening the Minister of Economy, the infamous Caputo, rents dollars, rents dollars to pretend he has reserves.
19:20Is there really anyone who can seriously and sensibly think that this is sustainable?
19:28My God, that cannot be worse than that.
19:33And we now move on to other topics.
19:42Absentism has been reportedly on the rise in US schools due to the government's policy against migrants.
19:49According to a study carried out by Stanford University, both regular and undocumented students have seen their courses affected because their families keep them away from schools for fear of being sent to their countries of origin.
20:04The study pointed out that daily absences increased by 22% at the time the raids began.
20:11Since January, the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has conducted raids in so-called sanctuary cities such as Chicago.
20:19Similarly, President Donald Trump has also authorized ICE members to act in schools and churches as well as to deport migrants with irregular status for alleged links to criminal gangs, often without showing any evidence.
20:38And during her daily press conference, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum informed on Wednesday about the upcoming meeting of her Minister of Economy and the Secretary of Commerce of the United States.
20:53On Friday, Marcello Edward will meet again with the US Secretary of Commerce to move on with the trade issues we have pending.
21:06Regarding the security and immigration issues in which we want to include the case of the Mexican families in the US, we will be discussing that with the State Department.
21:19On the other hand, Sheinbaum informed that Mexico will continue working with Canada to strengthen their bilateral relations.
21:27We held a very important meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada, that we agreed, of course, to continue working together on the trade deal, but also to strengthen even more the relations between Canada and Mexico, especially in education, culture and the investments of Canadian companies in Mexico.
21:54It was a very good meeting.
21:57And like this, we have come to the end of this news brief.
