00:27soldiers to Kiev. In the United States President Donald Trump orders to escalate

00:37deportations and focus on so-called sanctuary cities amid growing protest

00:42against his policies. Hello and welcome to From the South I'm Alejandra Garcia from

00:54Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba. We begin with the news.

01:03Iranian government denounces Israel for launching new threats and attacks against

01:10civilian targets this time against the Al-Farabi hospital in the city of Kermenash

01:15in the west of the country. Also it is reported that the Israeli attack led to the

01:20activation of the air defense system following the bombing of the military

01:24base in the Kermensha region. The Iranian government warned that its attacks have

01:29only been against Israeli military bases, that it has not attacked residential areas,

01:35but if the Zionists continue their assault they will give an immediate and

01:39forceful response as Israel has caused at least 224 deaths and 1,277 injuries, most of them women and

01:50children.

01:57In this context of Israeli aggressions the Zionist forces bombed the Iranian radio and

02:06television headquarters in Tehran. Sources add that there are martyrs and

02:11wounded in the Israeli airstrike against the Broadcasting Corporation building. Iranian

02:16television anchor Sahar Emami resumed her work minutes after the channel's studios were

02:23hit by Israeli airstrikes. Meanwhile, all Iranian Broadcasting Corporation channels are broadcasting

02:29normally, except for the Al-Akbar news channel. For their part, the Israeli occupation army threatens

02:36to bomb police stations in Tehran. Iranian air defenses are fully in operation in the Persian capital.

02:43Meanwhile, Iranian missiles hit the power plant in the Israeli region of Haifa, causing an extensive

02:56blackout in central areas of its illegally occupied territories. The strike took place as part of Iran's

03:03response to the escalating aggression by Tel Aviv against the Persian country.

03:10Oman condemned Monday the Israeli aggression against Iran and sent its condolences to the government

03:24and people of the Persian nation for the victims of the Zionist attacks. The expressions of sympathy

03:30were issued by the Sultan of the nation, Haitham bin Tariq, who reiterated the importance of returning to

03:37negotiations, dialogue and moral understanding to curb the escalation of violence. The Oman leader reaffirmed

03:44its country's commitment to the resolution of the conflict through political, diplomatic and peaceful means.

03:50Iranian President Massoud Pejewskian denounced the violations of international norms by the U.S.

04:07government and its position on the conflict with the Zionist government of Israel. The Iranian leader reiterated

04:13that they did not want war and did not start it, also emphasises that they are always open to dialogue

04:20and negotiations. He also stressed that his country is not developing nuclear weapons and that as a sovereign

04:27nation, it has the right to use nuclear energy for research and peaceful purposes for the benefit of its

04:33society and not to suffer loss or life or property. In this regard, Russia, China, other governments and

04:41organizations around the world have condemned the Zionist attack against Iran while the United States

04:47has defended Israel.

04:58When they say that Iran should not acquire nuclear weapons, we have no intention of acquiring them. We have the right

05:04to enjoy nuclear energy and research that benefits this society. No one has the right to take this right away from

05:10the system or the Islamic Republic and we are strong enough to defend it and we do not fear any power.

05:17When it comes to its realization, we have forged brotherly ties with all Islamic countries, all of which are our

05:23brothers. Today, most of them and perhaps all of them are on our side. They are with us. I believe that the United States

05:29is talking nonsense and using the power that exists in Iraq, contrary to all international laws, to allow Israel to attack

05:37and invade our country from there. We did not seek war. Iranian Foreign Minister Rabah Zaragishi called on all

05:46Iranians inside and outside the country to unite, urging them not to give in to the enemy and to fight for their

05:52homeland.

05:57In a situation where our beloved country is on the verge of attack, massacre and war,

06:03Iranians both inside and outside the country stand united in defense of their homeland. But amidst this, people

06:11with Iranian surnames who speak Farsi, have been born in this very land. And it is here that they have become

06:18famous. They have praised themselves in front of the enemy. I would like to hear your message for these people.

06:24Anyone who speaks ill of their country is a traitor, as is anyone who does not fight for their country. Thank you.

06:30In Iran, the Health Ministry announced that 70 women and children died in three recent Israeli attacks in Tehran.

06:40Authorities added that with this new information, the number of people killed by the Tel Aviv's strikes since the

06:47start of its hostilities against Iran now stands at 224. It is notable that 90 percent of those killed are civilians

06:56following the Zionist attacks on residential areas. They emphasize that at least 10 of the fatalities are

07:02scientists and staff from nuclear energy facilities and three are high-ranking officers in the Iranian army.

07:10The hostilities carried out by the Zionist entities since last Friday have affected at least 18 Iranian provinces.

07:19The Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed the assassination of its intelligence chief Mohamed Qasemi and his assistant

07:35Hassan Mohaked as part of Israeli airstrikes against the Iranian territory. In this context, the intelligence commander

07:42Mohsen Bagheri lost his life due to shellings made by Israeli-sworn drones in several Iranian areas.

07:49Subsequently, the Iranian agency reported a series of missile operations against Israeli intelligence centers.

07:56Moreover, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed the continued effective operation against vital targets in Tel Aviv until their complete elimination.

08:05Iran has been pursuing Operation True Promise 3 in response to the Israeli offensive against its territories on June 13.

08:20The Iranian government could decide to leave the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty following some nuclear signatories as Israel had violated it by having

08:34attacked three nuclear facilities of Iran. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Bagheye announced that the parliament is preparing a bill to endorse their exit.

08:45In this regard, Bagheye highlighted that Tehran has been always opposed to the development of nuclear weapons.

08:52Meanwhile, President Masoud Peshavikian reaffirmed the nation would defend its inalienable right to harness nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

09:01Furthermore, the leader denounced that the United States resorted to intimidation as Washington allowed Israel to strike.

09:08The authorities further underscored that both states violated international regulations.

09:15In addition, he remarked that Iran has never looked for nor initiated a war.

09:20In this context, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a statement after a telephone conversation

09:35condemning Israel's actions against Iran, considering that it aggravates the situation in the Middle East.

09:42In addition, the text pointed out that this new attack against another state in the region represents a clear violation of the United Nations Charter and other norms of international law.

09:54The leaders called for an immediate ceasefire and the resolution of controversies, including the Iranian nuclear program, through political and diplomatic means.

10:03Doctors Without Borders urged European Union leaders to persuade Israel to stop the siege of Gaza.

10:21The Secretary General of Doctors Without Borders, Christopher Lockyer, described Gaza as a hell on earth byproduct of almost two years of unstoppable shellings.

10:33The humanitarian movement said that over 1,000 members were working in Gaza.

10:38The organization further revealed they had striven to run six clinics, two field hospitals and provide support to other care centers in the enclave.

10:48In addition, the entity unfolded, they were living on one meal a day.

10:54Therefore, the humanitarian movement spurred European Union foreign ministers to make the right decision on their upcoming debate on June 23rd,

11:03regarding the suspension of the association agreement with Israel.

11:07The international council's today to deliver an open letter with a clear message to leaders of the European Union ahead of next week's foreign affairs and European councils.

11:22Our message to the leaders is simple.

11:24simple we urge you to use all political economic and diplomatic tools to exert

11:30real pressure on Israel to stop the carnage in Gaza and to allow unhindered

11:36humanitarian aid healthcare staff in Gaza is operating beyond the limits of

11:42human endurance and they themselves as it was said they have been displaced

11:49several times they need to leave the medical activities to take care of their

11:55family they have lived a total disruption of their normal life and of

12:01their social and supportive network the mental health toll on our staff is heavy

12:08and on everybody in the last two months we have seen at least three of our staff

12:16that have had to be admitted to the hospital and they become patient

12:21themselves and this is not sustainable this is not human so we really call for

12:30action now we need humanitarian aid to enter Gaza now we need this to stop

14:15list of countries allegedly promoting terrorism
