00:11Iranian Foreign Minister Spokesman said that the Islamic Republic will defend itself to the fullest extent and rejects the United
00:17States' 15-point ceasefire proposal.
00:24Russian Altery Forces intensified their operations in the Saporizhia region, taking out strategic deployment points of the Ukrainian army.
00:36United States Congress members denounced Washington's economic and energy blockade on Cuba after a visit to the island.
00:49Hello, welcome to From the South. I'm with Alberto Matos from Dresu Studios in Caracas, Venezuela. We'll begin with the
00:55news.
01:14At least six children were massacred amidst a renewed wave of imperialist aggression by Israel and the United States against
01:21Iran.
01:21Consequently, this escalation of violence continues to devastate the most vulnerable sectors of the population.
01:27Emergency services detail that the infant victims include three girls and a boy aged approximately 10, in addition to two
01:33other minors aged 4 and 7.
01:35Moreover, the bombings targeting the capital's periphery claimed the lives of several adult civilians currently being identified by forensic authorities.
01:43Simultaneously, rescue teams worked beneath the debris during the early hours, confirming that the missile strikes directly impacted densely populated
01:50residential areas.
01:52As a result, the international community witnesses yet another flagrant disregard for human life by hegemonic powers.
02:03And amid growing tensions in the Middle East, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Bagay said Monday in Tehran that the
02:11Islamic Republic will defend itself to the fullest extent and rejects the United States' 15-point ceasefire proposal.
02:17He accused the United States and Israel of disregarding international law and of having no red lines. Bagay rejected the
02:24reported 15-point U.S. ceasefire proposal that was conveyed through mediators.
02:29He described the proposal as illogical and unacceptable. He emphasized that negotiations cannot progress under the threat of violence and
02:37insisted that Iran's national security and interests are the primary criteria for any agreement.
02:43Bagay also declared that Iran has compiled and formalized their own set of demands.
02:53What does a ceasefire mean? A ceasefire means a pause for the U.S. and Israel, for a while to
03:03renew strength and prepare to commit crimes again.
03:07No sane person will accept this. Our demand is an end to the imposed war, along with ensuring that this
03:17cycle doesn't repeat.
03:19We will continue.
03:21We will continue.
03:22We will continue.
03:23We will continue.
03:23A recent imperialist aggression by Israel and the United States against Iranian territory has resulted in at least six fatalities
03:29and five wounded individuals.
03:31According to reports from the Vice-Governor of Ardabil, the bombings in Germany and Yarafarabad resulted in three fatalities of
03:38authorities confirmed, three additional deaths and two injuries after a brutal missile strike in Kuhisia.
03:43This military offensive across multiple provinces have unleashed a devastating humanitarian crisis within the affected communities.
03:50Disregard local officials were that the death toll may rise as search and rescue operations remain underway amidst destruction.
04:02And the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officially confirmed the deployment of the 97th wave of operation through Promise 4, specifically
04:10targeting U.S. and Israeli positions.
04:12According to the IRGC statement, the offensive struck multiple strategic sites linked to Washington and Tel Aviv as a direct
04:19response to their recent aggressions.
04:21Moreover, the operation resulted in the destruction of a U.S. command center following a strike with ballistic missiles and
04:27precision drones against the Mohammed Al-Hammad naval base in Kuwait.
04:31Simultaneously, officials confirmed a direct hit on the King Dao Star, a vessel tied to Israeli interests at the Jebel
04:38Ali port in the United Arab Emirates.
04:41In this sense, the axis of resistance reaffirms its capacity to neutralize hegemonic threats across the deep waters.
04:51An Iran's revolutionary guard confirmed the martyrdom of Major General Mahir Hademi, Head of Intelligence Directorate, during an airstrike carried
04:59out by the United States and Israel.
05:01The military commander, who devoted 50 years to national security, died amid a series of bombings that also struck civilian
05:07infrastructure, health centers, and schools in various provinces.
05:11Iran mourned the loss, noting that Hademi was a key figure in thwarting major plots against the nation for decades.
05:18In response, Iranian forces intensified operations through promised war, carrying out direct attacks against U.S. military bases in the
05:24region and subject targets in the occupied territories.
05:33Also in Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that it is finalizing preparations for a new navigation system across
05:39the Strait of Hormuz.
05:40The naval force of the Guard warned that conditions in the Strait would never return to their previous state, especially
05:46for the United States and Israel.
05:47The statement came after U.S. President Donald Trump again threatened to attack Iran's power plants and bridges, unless Iran
05:54reopened the vital seaway.
05:56Iran has only allowed limited shipping traffic through the Strait since the war began, disrupting the passage of approximately 20
06:02% of global oil and gas shipments.
06:09And in Turkey, hundreds of citizens took part in a solidity caravan in support of Iran in the face of
06:15the Zionist U.S. offensive.
06:17The procession set off from the Sayinabi Mosque, where protesters waved Turkish and Iranian flags from their cars and motorcycles.
06:24Residents of the area expressed their support by applauding from their balconies.
06:28Protesters raised their voices and asked themselves what they could do to improve the situation and confront injustice.
06:35More than 500 vehicles traversed the city of Istanbul in what they called a caravan in support of the friendly
06:40and brotherly country of Iran.
06:47And thousands in Germany protested against the U.S.-Israeli military aggression against Iran.
06:53This third mobilization in Berlin highlights an escalating resistance against Western hegemonic actions.
06:58The protests initially convened with activists carrying revolutionary banners and chanting anti-imperial slogans while marching through the capital's main
07:06arteries.
07:07The crowd converged near the U.S. embassy to condemn the actions of the Pentagon and its allies, categorizing this
07:15military intervention as a flagrant violation of international law and a brutal threat to the regional sovereignty and global peace.
07:21Furthermore, the German people present at the rally unified their voices to reiterate their deep disdain for the warm marketing
07:29policies of the Global North.
07:41This is a completely illegal war against Iran by the United States and Israel.
07:48And we, the Iranians, hope to defeat them in our country.
07:54Because we are not the nation that can be oppressed by countries that think they are the best, that think
07:59they are the world's superpower.
08:01They are destabilizing the energy supply of every country in the world.
08:05I believe these are the consequences of the war against the Iranian people.
08:14An attack by the United States and Israel against Iran is an illegal war of aggression.
08:20This violates the United Nations Charter and must be stopped immediately.
08:25Otherwise, it will go against the rule-based international order established after the victory in World War II.
08:33In 1945 and will take the world back to the wall of the jungle.
08:41Let's now take our first break, stay with us.
09:09Welcome back.
09:10The number of victims of Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip continues to rise, reaching more than 72,290 kills
09:18since October 2003.
09:20Last Sunday, a group of civilians was attacked by Israeli drones near the Yarmouk Stadium, seriously injuring several people and
09:26leaving one dead.
09:27Since the ceasefire began on October 11, 2025, 716 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces, while another 1,968
09:36have been injured and 759 bodies have been recovered.
09:40Health authorities reported that several victims remain trapped under the rubble as rescue teams have not yet been able to
09:46reach them due to Israeli attacks.
09:55The Palestinian community in Chile condemned the participation of Israeli companies in the International Air and Space Fair Friday 2026
10:02to be held in Santiago from April 7-12.
10:05The group declared in a statement that the decision compromises the country's best interests, weakens its international credibility and breaks
10:12with its diplomatic tradition.
10:13They also indicated that legal mechanisms could be considered in response to President José Antonio Castro's decision to allow the
10:20participation of Aerospace Industries, a company specializing in the development and manufacture of military systems.
10:26The Palestinian community in Chile represents more than half a million people.
10:36And also in Palestine, the third phase of a catch-up vaccination campaign kicked off in the Gaza Strip on
10:41Sunday amid the humanitarian crisis exacerbated by the Israeli blockade.
10:45Palestinian Red Crescent Society members administer vaccines to children in a campaign that is scheduled to run from April 5
10:52-9.
10:53According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the campaign targets around 6,000 children under the age of 3 and
10:59will be carried out through 129 health facilities across Gaza with the participation of 146 vaccination teams supported by 186
11:08health educators.
11:09The call is to close gaps in immunization coverage and protect children from preventable diseases amid the severe humanitarian and
11:17health crisis in Gaza caused by the Saudi's genocide of politics against Palestinian people.
11:27Today we began the third phase of the catch-up vaccination campaign in order to vaccinate children who missed their
11:33vaccinations due to the war and displacement that the Gaza Strip has experienced.
11:42The campaign targets one-day-old infants up to one and a half years old and also children aged 3
11:47who have not received all their vaccinations.
11:49Therefore, we are working to complete the vaccination of children who have not received their vaccinations during this period.
11:57The government of South Sudan warned that landmine clearance operations will take years despite its demanding goals.
12:04Despite the goal of clearing all minefields this year, the threat of war remnants in the Eastern African nation remains
12:10critical.
12:11With regard to the United Nations reports, more than 5,000 people have died or been injured after triggering mines
12:17since the country's independence 15 years ago.
12:20In response, the Director of the National Mine Action Authority, Yurkush Baraj, emphasized that these efforts are vital not only
12:28to save lives but also to ensure the mobility of humanitarian aid and peacekeeping forces.
12:36In our country, mine action not only serves to clear land but also to protect civilians, support the mobility of
12:48peacekeeping forces, facilitate humanitarian operations and create safe conditions for return, recovery and socioeconomic growth.
12:57We are covering out critical interventions that include survey demanded, the safe destruction of explosive devices and education under-exposed
13:11by explosive devices.
13:14People living in these areas, even if there are no accidents, even if nothing happens, it doesn't mean that the
13:24danger has disappeared.
13:25So anything they see, anything they find, they should report it through the usual reporting system informing the government.
13:35In the waters of the central Mediterranean, a vessel carrying around 105 migrant shipwrecked off the coast of Libya, leaving
13:41a toll of more than 70 people missing.
13:43According to reports from Italian maritime authorities, the vessel capsized within Libya's search and rescue zone shortly after setting sail
13:50bound for Europe.
13:52During the emergency efforts, two bodies were recovered as well as 32 survivors rescued who were immediately transferred to the
13:58island of Lampedusa in southern Italy to receive medical attention.
14:02Meanwhile, maritime authorities and humanitarian organizations are maintaining surveillance in the area to find more survivors.
14:16And in Vietnam, the first session of the National Assembly's 16th term opened on Monday with 500 newly elected deputies
14:23in attendance set to undertake comprehensive elections.
14:26From the Dienhon Hall in the National Assembly Building, the gathering marked the beginning of a period of leadership consolidation
14:32and policy direction.
14:34Over the following days, the Assembly will hold elections for key leadership positions.

15:14In Russia, artillery forces intensified their operations in the Zaporizhia region, successfully taking out strategic deployment points and camouflage positions
15:23of the Ukrainian army.
15:24Using large caliber Gwitsin-S self-propelled howitzers, Russian crews carried out precision strikes that neutralized hidden fortifications in this
15:34key sector of the front.
15:35At the same time, a Grab Multiple Rocket Launcher Unit completed the offensive by targeting an enemy deployment center depriving
15:42Kiev forces of a critical operation of base border logistics.
15:45With this maneuver, the Russian military command says to have consolidated fire control over supply routes in the area.
15:57And also in Russia, a Ukrainian military attack on a mine in the Lugansk People's Republic caused a total power
16:02outage and left 41 miners stranded.
16:04The droids reported that the bombing damaged a strategic substation, disrupting the lifting and ventilation systems at the coal mine.
16:11Despite the emergency, it was confirmed that contact was established with the workers who are safe in underground shelters and
16:17have a supply of drinking water.
16:18Rescue teams and specialized technicians are racing against the clock to restore power and proceed with the safe evacuation of
16:25personnel before oxygen levels become critical.
