00:50Hello and welcome to From the South.
00:52I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in Caracas, Venezuela.
00:56We begin with the news.
00:57Stay with us.
01:14Iran's state radio and television were the target of a joint attack by Zionist and US
01:20forces as part of the military escalation against the Islamic Republic.
01:23Despite the attack, various official sources have confirmed that the channel is broadcasting
01:29as normal and maintaining communication with the population.
01:33In turn, the attack of state media joins the wave of US-Israeli bombings that have killed
01:39more than 200 people in Iran.
01:41Teheran has responded by attacking US military bases and targets in several Gulf countries.
01:52The Iranian government launched a new wave of retaliatory strikes against the Israeli capital
01:58of Tel Aviv after receiving multiple attacks on its territory.
02:01Amid ongoing tensions in Western Asia following military aggression by the Israeli regime in conjunction
02:07with the United States government against the people of Iran.
02:11The Iranian government launched a new wave of missiles towards the city of Tel Aviv.
02:15These actions by Teheran are a response to defend its sovereignty and peace.
02:21The US-Israeli aggression against the Iranian people has left hundreds dead.
02:30At least seven people were injured in Jerusalem after Iran launched retaliatory strikes in response
02:37to the joint aggression of Israel and the United States against the Persian nation.
02:41It was reported that approximately 70 ballistic missiles were launched in 24 hours from Iranian territory,
02:48causing serious damage in several areas of the occupied city of Jerusalem and other areas such as the capital, Tel
02:55Aviv.
02:56In this regard, the Israeli police informed that it is conducting inspections at various points in the area
03:02after receiving reports of interceptor missile fragments falling in several sectors.
03:08These events have taken place in the context of the Islamic Republic's military response to the joint aggressions
03:14by Washington and Tel Aviv, which have targeted civilian areas in Iran and caused the death of the Supreme Leader
03:21of the Islamic Revolution,
03:22Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other military commanders.
03:32Also, the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer accepted a request from the United States to use British bases for attacks
03:39against Iranian storage deposits or missile launchers.
03:42In this regard, Starmer reiterated that London did not and will not participate in the offensive bombing of the Islamic
03:49Republic
03:50in an attempt to distance itself from the military escalation.
03:53The decision is generating internal and external pressure while Canada and Australia have openly backed the U.S.-Israeli attacks.
04:02In this sense, the government faces the challenge of balancing its alliance with Washington and growing demands
04:09not to be directly involved in the conflict amidst an increasingly thanks region following the bombings that have left hundreds
04:17dead in Iran.
04:25And after the martyrdom of Ali Khamenei, acting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Alireza Arafi was temporarily appointed as a member of
04:34the Leadership Council for Iran's transition period.
04:36Let's learn more about him.
04:38The 67-year-old senior cleric Alireza Arafi is a key figure in Iranian government overseeing the country's Islamic seminary's
04:48epicenter of clerical training.
04:50His career combines institutional control in the Guardian Council since 2019 with an international profile that in 2022 led him
05:00to a private audience with Pope Francis,
05:03underlining his high hierarchical rank.
05:07Arafi also serves as the Deputy Chairman of the Assembly of Experts,
05:11the constitutional body empowered to appoint the country's next supreme leader.
05:22Also in Iraq, residents of the city of Baghdad showed their support for Iran after the military aggression perpetrated by
05:29Israel and the United States.
05:31Hundreds of Iraqi citizens gathered in the center of the capital to express their firm support for the Islamic Republic
05:38of Iran
05:39in what they described as a necessary response to the unilateral aggressions by the United States and Israel's recent military
05:47operations in the region.
05:48It is important to note that the general feeling among those in attendance is one of indignation at what they
05:54consider to be a systematic violation of regional sovereignty.
05:58In addition, the Iraqi people demand respect for the self-determination of peoples and refuse to allow their territory to
06:05be used as a platform for aggression against the neighboring nations.
06:18Also tensions are rising in Iraq where hundreds of Iraqi protesters attacked the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
06:25Protesters managed to break through the first wall of the diplomatic complex located in the so-called Green Zone of
06:31Baghdad where they burned flags and painted slogans against Washington's foreign policy.
06:36It should be noted that these actions are a response to the attacks perpetrated by the Israeli regime and the
06:44U.S. government against Iran.
06:45And in this context, various Iraqi political and social sectors are demanding an end to foreign intervention and respect for
06:53national sovereignty.
07:01At the same time, South Africans gathered Sunday at the Ahlul Bayid Foundation in Cape Town to pay tribute to
07:08the assassinated Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Alif Khamenei.
07:12The demonstrators left letters of condolences and offered prayers during the Shia community ceremony.
07:19Activists from the Hajar Ajum Mathi Syrian Center said that the Iranian leader's murder was a violation of Iran's sovereignty
07:27and of the international law and condemned the Zionist aggression against the Islamic region.
07:33We love humanity. Our point of departure is not hate.
07:39Also, large crowds in several countries in Southeast Asia and the Persian Gulf took to the streets in protest against
07:45the assassination of the leader of the Islamic revolution in Iran, Ayatollah Alif Khamenei, amidst the bombing by Israel and
07:53the United States on February 28th. Let's listen.
07:57On March 1st, 2026, a wave of protests and riots broke out after the confirmation of the death of Ayatollah
08:05Alif Khamenei in Iran.
08:07ISIS-Shiaid communities are mourning, enraged, and promise revenge and rejection of the Israeli aggression.
08:13India joined the grief and the wave of manifestations in the city of Kargil in the state of Hamlu and
08:18Kashmir in the north of the country.
08:21Thousands of Shia Muslims took to the streets carrying portraits of the martyrs and black flags to condemn the Zionist
08:27attacks.
08:31Protesters from Karachi, Pakistan also joined in rejecting the death of the Iranian leader and also condemning the attacks against
08:37the region with the objective of regime change in Iran.
08:42For its part, in Iraq, the reaction has been massive due to the deep religious and political ties with the
08:47nation of Iran.
08:48Mosques have issued mourning prayers and symbolic funeral marches in the city of Baghdad in the surroundings of embassies.
08:56In Greece, thousands of people mobilized in Athens and other cities of the country against the Russian military actions by
09:02the United States and Israel.
09:04In Turkey, in the cities of Istanbul and Ankara, protesters march to the U.S. diplomatic headquarters to condemn the
09:10attacks against Iran.
09:12And in the city of Adana, they march to demand the immediate closure of NATO bases on Turkey's soil.
09:21In the context of the joint attacks carried out by the United States and Israel against Iran, the United States
09:26and Iranian governments have provided data concerning targets attacked, recorded casualties and injured people.
09:33The statement from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard reported that the U.S. military base in Bahrain was attacked with two
09:40ballistic missiles and that other U.S. bases in the region have also been the target of repeated strikes.
09:46According to the Revolutionary Guard, these attacks have killed or wounded 560 U.S. soldiers so far.
09:54They also stated that the U.S. naval base in Al-Salem, Kuwait, and three U.S. naval infrastructure facilities
10:01at the Muhammad Al-Amad base were destroyed.
10:04On the other hand, the U.S. Central Command confirmed in its official X account that three U.S. soldiers
10:11were killed and five were seriously injured as part of Operation Epic Fury.
10:16No details were given about the identities of the deceased.
10:20In addition, it is reported that several other military personnel suffered minor injuries from sharp knell and concussions and are
10:28in the process of returning to duty.
10:30The U.S. Central Command assures that the major combat operations continue.
10:41The U.S. President as well, Donald Trump, confirmed the three military casualties announced by the U.S. Central Command
10:49following attacks perpetrated in conjunction with Israel against Iran in the early hours of Saturday, February 28th.
10:57In this context, President Trump stated that the U.S. military operation was ahead of schedule and asserted that the
11:05main objective was to destroy Iranian leaders and all nuclear technology.
11:10The U.S. President also reaffirmed that the U.S. will never accept Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon or being
11:16able to conduct research on the matter.
11:29Also in the context of the United States and Israel's attack on Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump declared his
11:36willingness to return to diplomacy with the Persian nation.
11:39President Trump declared that he agreed to meet with Iran again to establish agreements and achieve peace.
11:46However, it should be noted that the recent multiple attacks by the U.S. and Israel against Teheran occurred amid
11:52indirect U.S.-Iranian talks on nuclear issues.
11:55Some of the officials who took part in these negotiations were killed by Washington and Tel Aviv.
12:01In response, Iran launched several waves of ballistic missiles at Iran, at Israel, as well as at U.S. military
12:10bases located in Western Asian countries.
