1:35 pm
hello everyone, welcome to press tv's news review program where we get in depth in one the days top stories. the usas is carried out air strikes on 85 targets inside iraq and syria. this after washington pledged to respond to deadly drone strike on his troops in jordan. us central command claims targets include rocket, missile and drone depots. the us president says strikes will continue a time and place of washington's choosing. however, joe biden. says us does not see conflict in west asia, the washington's confirmed the deaths of three of its forces in the drone strike that hit its military base in jordan last weekend, an iraqi resistance group has claimed responsibility for the attack, it marks the first time us military personnel died in attack since start
1:36 pm
the israeli onslot on gaza on the 7th of october, and now iraq and syria have both strongly reacted to the u.s. strikes on the two neighboring countries, spokesperson for the commander and chief of the iraqi armed forces condemned the strikes in the western iraq near the syrian border as violation of its sovereignty. general yahya rasul warned that the attack which claimed the lives of at least 16 irakis will have disastrous consequences for iraq and the region. the syrian army meanwhile said aggression caused casualties among civilians and soldiers and inflicted heavy material damage. on the eastern part of the country, it added, this is the same region where syrian forces have been battling remnants of the deish terrorist group, and this proves us collusion with the terrorists, said the us seeks to undermine the capabilities of the syrian army and its allies in combatting terrorism. and now
1:37 pm
joining us for the program is gilbert, dr. independent international affairs analyst joining us from brussels and say: muhammad marandi, professor at the university of tehran, joining us from the iranian capital. gentlemen, i like to say welcome you both to the program here. dr. mandy, we're going to start with you if we may, and it's just ironic here, because everything that we're seeing that's transpired in relation to this story has to do with occupation. you have the israelis occupying uh palestinian land, and as a result you have uh groups and the genocide that the're perform. there you have groups trying to defend the palestinians and sure enough who comes to the rescue us forces that are occupying land both in iraq and syria. your initial thoughts doctor. i think it's pretty clear for your audience that the
1:38 pm
united states is the occupying power in iraq. iraqi parliament voted to have to have us bases removed and united states is also illegally occupying one third of syria, the altanf area is also part of that territory in syria which is occupied by the united states, and the united states is training remnance of isis there, those tribes in alt, they they were loyal to isis and they carry out attacks on syrian troops from those bases and then they return to those are controlled by the united states, so what the united states did was, as an occupying power, they attacked the indigenous population, they did not attack iranians, they did not attack the lebanese, and in fact they also intacked attacked iraqi
1:39 pm
military bases that belong to the central government in baghdad, but if you hadn't known any of this... you would think that uh by listening to western media that the united states was attacking some sort of aggressive force that was invading us owned property right and dr. manandi uh dr. doctor if you could for second apparently dr. mandy we don't have him for more than few minutes so let me get the second question out to dr. uh manandi and the the syrian government time and again it says that every time that we're taking out last remnance of the daiish terrorist group, there's either regime from tel aviv or the u.s., with these nefarious and very suspect uh strikes that always somehow benefit the terrorists on syrian soil. well, that is the objective, immediately after the us air strikes on iraqi
1:40 pm
military positions and syrian military positions alongside the border, there were four isis attacks on the... basis and we know from the dirty war in syria that nato used isis as well as al-qaeda and their affiliates to undermine the syrian government. the former us secretary of state uh john kerry when during that period he in a leaked video a leak leaked audio when he was speaking to the so-called opposition syrian opposition in the un, he said that we allowed isis to advance on damascus to put pressure on the syrian government. this is online, it is available available for your viewers to see, so the relationship between isis... and the united states, isis in israel, because isis also had bases alongside the golan during the
1:41 pm
dirty war, and the syrian supported them, this relationship is longstanding and it continues today, especially in the alantf region. okay, thank you, dr. marandi, we'll let you get to your business, i want to appreciate you for joining us on the program for viewers, as dr. said muhammad mandi, their professor joining us from the university of tehran from the iranian capital, um, mr. g. doctor, thank you for your patience, sir. uh, your initial thoughts on the fact that we have the us carrying out 85 air strikes in iraq and syria against a region that has been pushing back against occupation, against getting colonized in palestine, in syria and in iraq. i just like to introduce one element that was not mentioned in my fellow panelists remarks and that is that the united states, according to this morning's financial times article on the subject of: lead story, the united states attacked, knowingly attacked um, the iran's
1:42 pm
revolutionary guards sur cuds in the iraq and in syria, now that is, we have not heard about any iranian response to that, but it is putting at risk what fragile peace there is in the middle east, and it comes, it is important because it underlines the kind of hypocresy. "that is american policy, which is just not matter of academic observation, but it's an hypocrisy that can lead to a world war. the united states has made the has made its backing of ukrainian regime fundamental to its foreign policy, and it has provided arms and training to kiev's forces, when iran provides arms and training to..." its friends and allies in the middle east, that becomes
1:43 pm
the subject of us military targeting. the united states essentially is saying that iran is, but no one is yet saying openly that the united states is in the ukraine war with the consequences that come from. you and the back story here, mr. dr. is the fact that hundreds of thousand. not hundreds, not thousands, but hundreds of thousands of civilians have died as a result of imperialist powers, the us went into iraq, you very well know on false pretext, and how many people did a slaughter in that country, civilians alone in the last 20 years in afghanistan and in syria where it still has uh itself occupying oil fields there and taking money out of the out of the uh the pockets of the syrian public, and then not to mention the... what that's doing to the indigenous people that should be living
1:44 pm
in peace there on the mediterranean. there's one very big distinction between what you've described in the past going back to american war crimes in in afghanistan and elsewhere, but there's a distinction between that and what we're seeing today. the distinction is the case brought before the international court of justice by south africa. for the first time in history, the... "the belligerants, those who are those who are implementing genocidal policies are being called to account. united states was of course practicing genocide in iraq, but nobody said a word, what's going on now is being spoken about, and the decision, the interm decision of that court is against israel, the final decision, which will come in months will most certainly be against israel for not only having intent to commit genocide, but for..." actually doing it, now that in that case, the question arises, who
1:45 pm
will pay for that, what will the price be, both in political leadership, are carrying out this genocidal acts and for their backers in the united states, so this is very big turning point in history that we are now witnessing, and i'd say it's at least for once, it's a positive development, and how do you describe and explain and justify, maybe just... is a stretch, but how do you or how does the us explain its presence in today in iraq, in syria? what's the justification, at least from the white houses and the pentagon's point of view, why they are still? in the region? well, it's it's a big lie, they are saying exactly the opposite of what my fellow fellow panelist correctly pointed out: the united states has, certainly in the whole, the whole syrian civil war, been on the side of the devil, it has been actively supporting the um, the extremists, radicals who are intent on destroying uh civil society
1:46 pm
in the middle east, that has not changed, it is a good... excuse uh to create chaos which the americans can then dominate, and isn't it ironic to you that the us will carry out 85 strikes and promise more strikes to come before entertaining the idea of pushing the regime in tel aviv to stop its campaign of genocide against the women and children of gaza? well, it's how long mr. biden can continue this awful policy is matter of great discussion for a political... purposes he is uh ruining his chances of reelection, and you have to remember that american foreign policy is 90% dependent on domestic politics and 10% dependent on the realities of the world outside the united states, so in the given instance without appealing to wisdom or to humanity or any other quality that's probably
1:47 pm
uh not to be found in mr. biden and his fellow uh would be war criminals. um we can see solution uh of the united states withdrawing its support for israel's uh genocide that comes as a result to domestic american politics. all right, good stuff, thank you for joining us, mr. gilbert, dr. roter, independent international affairs analys from brussels stay safe sir, and thanks again and viewers, this brings us his conclusion, and we should also give dr. matandi the plug one more time, we are also earlier joined by syd mohammed. professor at the university of tehran joining us from the iranian capital and viewers that brings us to the conclusion of this segment of your press tv's news review program, thank you for tuning in and goodbye for now, welcome back,
1:48 pm
everyone you're watching press tv, world news, germany army says have carried out another operation against military targets. is really port city of ilot, army spokesperson, general yahya, sorry, so the yemini forces struck ilat with number of missiles, army says operations are in solidarity with palestinians and vow to continue these military operations until the israeli regime stops its war on gaza and ends its siege on the palestinian territory. yemini forces have targeted over two dozen israeli link vessels in the red sea in the recent weeks. amid the western aggression against yemen, thousands of people gathered in the capital tsuna and other cities to urge the yemeni army to expand its naval operations against american, british and israeli linked vessels in the reid sea and gulf of aden, they also belished to continue supporting palestinians at all coasts. our
1:49 pm
message to the forces of american zinist aggression is that you need to stop killing women, children and... defenseless people in gaza, god has blessed us with islam and we will not abandon our brothers in palestine. the westerners will see what we will do under the leadership of mr. abdul malik who does what he says. our house are broken over what's happening in gaza, including crimes, starvation and the siege imposed on the people of gaza. they want those who survived the bombing to serve to death. protesters also slamed the european union. spid to send military forces to the red sea aiming to protect israeli maritime navigation, the demonstrators said this move will escalate the conflict since the yemeni army will have the right to add european vessels to its list of targets. the european union is america's plaything, they are indeed many countries, but they follow america's orders to serve
1:50 pm
american interests. we call the prosperity alliance the suicide alliance because they commit suicide. when they fight us and we will not change our position no matter how much they threaten us and no matter how large a force they mobilize to fight us. any european force that comes to the red sea will have the same faith as the american and british forces, meaning that they will become legitimate targets for the yemeni naval operations and will be hit daily by the yemeni missile strikes. earlier, the leader the ansarullah movement, abdul malik althi stated that us attempts to see. from china mediation to stop yemen's naval operations show the failure of the us and uk in their aggression. he also criticized arab countries for exporting goods to israel, calling it an act of betrayal as palestine. and starf to death and the beseged gaza. despite the us and uk strikes, people here insist that yemeni naval operations should continue as long as the genocidal rages on. they urge
1:51 pm
their army to target the interests of any party that supports the israeli regime. reporting for press tv. attentions are continuing along southern lebanese border where israel's launch refresh artillery shells as well resistance. movement meanwile says it's targeted in israeli military post in occupied shabo farms. press tvs madiam sal has your details. at first they said that they targeted the post, then only less than an hour later, they said that they targeted deployment of soldiers that were near that barack specifically in shabal farms. they also targeted a uh... house as they said or building in the settlement of avivim, and they said clearly in their statement that this comes in retaliation to the continuous israeli shelling against the villages and the
1:52 pm
towns and the bordering towns and the specifically the civilian houses and homes that are destroyed and also the fact that the israelis targeted a supermarket in the town of jibane and they mention that in their statements saying that they will not, tolerate when the israelis of course destroy a civilian house or civilian um infrastructure, any sort of building that is civilian, then they would also target a building in on the israeli side, which is considered by the israeli civilian, of course for now all that area, whether it is aviving or wesat lalam or the krana, all those areas are have become closed military zones. so at least 50 bombs landed on the town of itarun addition to the targeting of natural reserve in the in the mountain of blood which is near

1:54 pm
man that's studying for his doctoral degree here in south korea, and there are also uh koreans here that are coming out in support of palestine trying to pressure their government, the south korean government to take a firmer stance on israel. south korea has kind of a unique... sort of relationship with this, south korea was occupied, we remember from 1910 to 1945 by japan, and that remains really sore point for south koreans and it contributes to their support of of palestine and battling against occupation, another sign of growing discontent in the west over support for israel, more than 800 officials in the us, the... and european union have released a public letter of descent criticizing their government support for the israeli regime in its ongoing genocide in gaza. the signatory say israel

you must have heard the phrase complete spinal injury. for centuries, there was no treatment for spinal injuries, and anyone who sustained injury anywhere on the spinal cord would lose all functions below the injured area forever. physicians have been trying to find a solution to this problem since ancient times. the stem cell solution is new one, first the russians and then the chinese. conducted tests to that end, but neither was very successful. in 1996, iran became the first country to suggest that xuan cells could be used to heal spinal cord injuries. the chun is a cell of the peripheral nervous system that wraps around nerf fiber, jelly roll fashion, forming the miolene sheath. iran started performing such treatments in the 2000s. the first tests were run on lab animals in 2002, and eventually in 2006 iran.
