A Ron Lorne Chasen attack on the warehouse,
holding Ukrainian anti-drone systems and 21
of Kiev's military personnel in the UAE.
And Israeli forces target and kill three journalists,
covering the military action in southern Lebanon.
While the IDF links one of the slain reporters to Hezbollah,
Beirut condemns the attack as a war crime.
Plus, Yemen's Houthis confirm the group's first
military operation against Israel amid the war on Iran,
threatening trade stability in the Red Sea.
There's 5 p.m. here in Moscow, and this is R.T. International,
with the Global News Update.
A very warm welcome to you.
We're exactly one month into the war on Iran,
as President Trump wavours between promising peace
and escalating strikes.
Much of the Middle East remains a battle zone.
Toronto's no negotiations are happening,
and have continued launching retaliatory strikes.
Our team's special coverage of a region of blaze continues now.
Iran has targeted a military depot housing,
Ukrainian anti-drone systems and personnel in the UAE.
During a trip to the region, Zalensky had met in person
with the troop stations there.
The fate of the 21 soldiers after the strike is still unknown.
For more on this, let's cross-life now to R.T.'s Senior Correspondent,
Murad Ghazdiyev.
Murad, good to see you.
So, what more details can you share with us at this point?
Well, indeed, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard called the IRGC,
his issued a statement saying that they have struck a warehouse
belonging to the Ukrainian military,
which housed 21 Ukrainian military personnel,
as well as drone interceptor systems,
provided by Ukraine to the United Arab Emirates
in order to shoot down Iranian drones.
Operated also, I should say, by Ukrainian military personnel.
It is unclear from the statement.
They didn't say the 21 of these Ukrainian soldiers were killed.
They said that it housed these soldiers.
It is unclear how many of them perished, how many are still alive,
but the strike was conducted simultaneously
with strikes on American military personnel stationed in Dubai,
American military personnel, commanders, soldiers, and American military assets.
Now, Ukraine has come out and said that these statements are false,
that no such strike happened.
But this is the same Ukraine that denied the fall of Bakhmut,
for example, Russia's capture of Solidar, Oceania-Bersk,
or Bakrovs for months and months,
after Russia had fully taken these cities.
So, certainly, there's an element of war propaganda,
and it is unlikely that even if they had been killed,
that Ukraine would admit to that having happened.
On the diplomatic front, things aren't looking much, much brighter.
You know, bad news from Iran,
a war that Ukraine chose to involve itself in.
But also bad news for Ukraine, of course, on the media front,
in that all attention is now on Iran,
and that is public attention, that is military assistance,
that is funding.
All attention is on Iran.
Ukraine, of course, trying to make itself relevant,
those statements by the G.C. came out,
as Zelensky was giving a press conference in the United Arab Emirates
about how much he was helping the United Arab Emirates.
You also mentioned recently that, you know,
the fact that peace hasn't yet been achieved
in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is everyone's fault, but his.
We engage with the American side every day.
Our negotiating team is in dialogue with their counterparts.
But even so, this difficulty remains.
It feels as though we are acting as mediators in this process,
rather than as a party to the war.
Why?
Because we are ready to meet anywhere,
preferably in a trilateral format.
But the American side can only meet in the United States,
while Russia can meet anywhere except the United States.
And for now, because of the war in the Middle East,
war with Iran and security measures,
the Americans are not leaving the country.
Their negotiating team is not traveling abroad.
It is, of course, no secret
that Zelensky's relations with the Trump administration are.
Well, those relations are lackluster,
perhaps even disastrous.
Any way you look at it, it came to the point
that several days ago, Zelensky also claimed
that the United States was essentially blackmailing Ukraine,
saying it would get security guarantees only
if it pulled out of the Donbass, pulled its military forces out,
and gave the Donbass up to the Russians.
Here, Marko Rubu himself came out in front of the cameras
and told the world that Zelensky is a liar.
The U.S. tells Zelensky that security guards
has depend on his drone from Donbass.
That's a lie.
And I saw him say that, and it's unfortunate he would say that,
because he knows that's not true, and that's not what he was told.
What he was told is the obvious.
Security guarantees are not going to kick in
until there's an end to a war.
I don't know why he says these things.
They're just not true.
There is, of course, new love loss between Zelensky and the Trump administration,
but the last thing Zelensky needs is to make them even more hostile.
In this case, Marko Rubu made very clear what they think of Zelensky's diplomatic antics,
but the bad news keeps piling up for Ukraine.
And now, with Zelensky on a PRs, we're touting his drones,
there's interesting news from Germany,
where the head of Germany's huge military defense and dust-steal giant Ryan Metath
was asked about Ukrainian drones.
And he said, essentially, they're what a housewife might come up with
if she had a 3D printer at home.
This is how to play with Legos.
What is the innovation of Ukraine?
They don't have some technological breakthrough.
They make innovations with their small drones, and they say,
wow, and that's great, whatever.
But this is not the technology of Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, or Ryan Metath.
Essentially, the argument being made is that,
well, it's public knowledge that Ukraine's military industrial complex has been reduced
to 3D printers and basements and departments,
where people can make small FPV drones in tiny little garages,
where they could put together these drones made of plywood,
which they used to launch it, and mass at Russia,
and the ingenuity, the progress, technological progress,
aspects of armaments are missing from the Ukrainian defense.
And these are drones that, again, Ukraine had been offering to the United States
and to the Arab world, to Israel, to others,
marketing all over the world as a technological breakthrough.
So, certainly, an unlucky few days for Zelensky.
More out of any thanks for the update.
That's Sartis Moran.
Gansi, I've speaking to his life, from the Donetsk Republic. Thank you.
What an IDFS strike has killed three journalists covering Israel's military action in southern Lebanon.
The group was traveling in a clearly marked press vehicle during the attack.
The Israeli defense forces released footage of the bombing confirming they were targeting Al Manad,
the TV journalist Ali Shrib.
The IDF claims he worked for one of Hezbollah's military intelligence units.
Al Mayadin correspondent Fatima Fattuni and her brother Muhammad Fattuni,
a photojournalist, were also killed in the strike.
The Lebanese president has condemned the attack as a deliberate war crime.
We're crossing live now to anti-contributor Martin J.
Good to see you, Martin.
So, your reaction to this latest Israeli attack on journalists?
Of course, it's falling.
It's absolutely falling.
And in many ways, we've been warned for a number of years now
that journalists are increasingly becoming legitimate targets.
And we tend to think of journalists that were killed recently in the region.
We tend to think of Shireen Abu Aqlei.
And more recently, even the attack on RT corresponded to the TV,
saying that it was clearly an attack on him.
He was clearly targeted.
There's no question about that at all in my mind.
I lived and worked in Lebanon for seven years.
I know the terrain very well.
I know what those journalists are going through.
And I think this today is a very, very sad day
because I think it shows us now that there's no limits now.
The gloves are off with the Israelis.
They have their own unique idea of how journalists should work.
And if you don't sign up to that, then you are a target.
And I think we can unexpected more of these sort of attacks to come.
One of the idea for attempting to...
Well, they're saying that one of these reporters was a member of Hezbollah.
They're trying to justify it.
But what do you make of that?
And also knowing that two other journalists were also killed in the attack?
Yeah, I mean, they would say that, wouldn't they?
You know, that's the sort of thing that they would put out to mainstream Western journalists
who can't check the facts.
Or should they say, won't check the facts?
You know, we're in a situation now where Western media finds it
completely acceptable to not get into Gaza, for example,
because the IDF says it's too dangerous for journalists to operate there.
While they are shooting journalists, you know, that's kind of a sick joke.
Yeah, we've got to a situation now where it's very, very easy to make journalists partisan,
particular governments or armies around the world.
It's a really cheap shot.
When I was in Lebanon, you know, I worked alongside a number of Lebanese journalists
who, let's say, didn't necessarily sign up to the Western narrative
and may have been more sympathetic to the Hezbollah or Iranian line at the time.
But it doesn't make them Hezbollah.
It doesn't make them card-carrying Hezbollah.
And you know what?
Even today, when in the Middle East, particularly, we have such partisan media anyway,
I don't think that's really something that has any credibility at all.
Even if that individual you're talking about was a Hezbollah member,
you know, so what do often sign up to political causes?
And often partisan, it's not a reason to kill people.
Yeah, like you say, you've worked in Lebanon.
You know the terrain.
How are journalists supposed to continue their work there,
knowing that Israel can just act with such impunity?
Well, I think that's a big part of what happens today.
I think, you know, the Israelis are banking on terrifying the future
and is in Lebanon who are going down south of the Latani River
and operating independently.
You know, it's getting very, very hard to do that.
But I think Israelis are definitely trying to scare as much
the technology, the intelligence that Israel has within Lebanon is terrifying.
I mean, it's very, very impressive, you know, they can track anybody at any given time.
And so I think the assassination of these three journalists
is definitely going to scare some journalists away.
It's going to have some impact.
And that'll be a victory for Israel, you know, a victory for a country
that, you know, happily bonds women and children in their tents
and still calls it a war, you know, this medium machine
that these Israelis have created with a pump out of this fodder
and give it, you know, pre-packaged to journalists.
Unfortunately, we've signed up in that most Western journalists have bought into that system
and everything we see and read in the Western press from Gaza or from Southern Lebanon
is basically packaged for us.
It's, I'm trying to avoid the phrase fake news because I think that's the
other overuse expression by Trump.
But that's where we are today, you know, we've got this machine in place now
and the Israel would really ideally like all journalists to respect that
particular machine.
And if you don't, if you step outside of that area and do your own thing,
as Steve Sweeney was doing, you know, you're going to be a legitimate target.
And I think if anybody had any doubts about that,
it'll have an end now.
Yeah, it's not even hidden anymore, is it?
It's kind of common knowledge that Israel targets journalists.
We have it on camera now when they target it,
our colleague Steve Sweeney, just a week ago.
So will Israel ever face any repercussions from this or is it just going to continue?
Well, unfortunately, it's our fault.
I mean, it's the Western governments who have the so-called human rights
institutions, it's Western governments that largely support
the international courts in the Hague, you know, who could kick up a fuss,
who could actually show some token of pro-broom towards going on.
That's not a whole thing that just laughs.
And it says, well, you know, we're not getting as much impunity as we're getting
on our human rights abuse and the Holocaust or the Gaza or the genocide that we carry on.
The Gaza, you know, even with journalists,
there doesn't seem to be any kickback at all.
And unfortunately, that's fed this terrible situation that we have today.
You know, we do need to see voices from Western leaders.
We do need to see institutions standing up.
We need to see journalists, unions, you know, protesting.
But we're not getting that at all.
And so we have to accept so much responsibility from that.
It's also partly our fault for egging on the IDF and the Israelis.
Yeah, many thanks, sir, for joining us on a programme today.
That's our tea contributor, Martin J. Thanks a lot.
A Yemen's who-thes-have confirmed carrying out the group's first military action against the
Israel since the start of the Iran War.
A Brigadier general in spokesperson for Ansar Ala reports the operation was successful.
The Yemeni armed forces have carried out the first military operation using a barrage of
ballistic missiles targeting sensitive Israeli military sites in southern Occupy, Palestine.
This operation coincided with the heroic operations carried out by our brothers
in Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The operation successfully achieved its objectives.
Our operations will continue until the declared objectives are achieved
and until the aggression against all fronts of the resistance ceases.
Israeli forces reported detecting a missile launched its territory from Yemen this morning.
So far, no impact or casualties have been confirmed.
Last May, the militant group agreed to end its attacks on Israel and US ships in the Red Sea,
having described that aggression as an act of solidarity with garrisons.
The Yemen-based journalist Hussein Al-Bakite told us the who-thes
will also target Arab nations if they decide to join the anti-arong coalition.
Yemeni armed forces, he said as well that Yemen will declare a war and will join the war.
If, as he said, any other country will join the coalition.
I mean, those countries is a clear message to Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.
Because here in Yemen and as well in Iran,
would they believe that at one point United Arab Emirates and Saudi will join this war against Iran
before they come under attack?
From Iran, the reason for this attack from Iran is the military installation
from the United States in this area.
That's why if those countries will join or any other country
as Trump is trying to form the two-called coalition as he protected to protect the
Hormuz, the Hormuz straight, Yemen actually will take action against Saudi Arabia
if they enter the war against Iran and that action will be
to target also the military installation inside Yemen, to liberate Yemen.
Anas will to target United States military installation inside Saudi Arabia.
So it means that Yemen will join fully this war for the Yemeni people,
for the liberation of Yemen.
Anas will to support the Iranian against the Zionist American aggression.
Among the latest developments,
a Tel Aviv resident has been killed in a new wave of Iranian attacks,
according to the Israeli National Emergency Service.
Rescue workers responding here on Friday night with a residential building among the areas
are literally hit by a cluster bomb.
Contrasting reports of those injured with police stating four people were wounded,
while emergency services say two were left with minor cuts.
At the parts of Central Israel as well as the country's south were targeted overnight
with a further two people said to be in a serious condition following Iran's attacks.
That's as the U.S. is really strikes on Iran, continue unabated.
The IDF confirmed hitting multiple locations overnight but didn't provide any further details.
This is said to show Shells falling on the historic city of Isfahan,
this right behind me.
The sprawling part in military complex southeast of the capital and
Tehran's technology university was also targeted in the early hours.
Israel has also been stepping up attacks on industrial sites across the Islamic Republic.
Earlier, West Jerusalem claimed a facility in the city of Yazda was struck,
which produces raw materials used in Iranian and enrichment.
Israel officials say a missile and a naval mine production plant in the area were also hit.
The IDF also took aim at steel plants over the course of the weekend,
golfing a number of Iran's biggest factories.
The Iranian foreign minister says the assaults contradict Donald Trump's promise to pause
attacks and Tehran will respond to that forcefully.
Israel has hit two of Iran's largest steel factories, a power plant and civilian nuclear
sites among other infrastructure. Israel claims it acted in coordination with the U.S.
attack contradicts POTUS-extended deadline for diplomacy.
Iran will exact a heavy price for Israeli crimes.
Amid the bombardment on Iran's capital, they round the clock search for survivors
is being seen. At ease, Tehran bureau chief centers this from the ground.
We are currently on Regis Street in southern Tehran. The building you see here was struck so far,
they have been able to extract three fatalities, but there are still many people trapped under the
rubble. The attacks on Tehran occurred in the east, west and in the center. The attacks were very
heavy. The most intense we've had over the last 27 days. Rescue forces are currently clearing
away the debris from the collapsed building, which is scattered in front of this house, hoping to
extract anyone trapped inside. You can see the volume of the rubble, this is just a portion that
remains here, which has blocked the alley and prevented traffic from passing through.
There was such an explosive sound as our bed flew up, I got up and saw that it was just like
a storm hitting the doors and walls. My wife was on one side, my granddaughter on the other,
screaming and screaming. We came out and there was so much smoke that I couldn't see.
The only thing I could do was bring my wife and children out to the alley and then I saw people
just screaming at our neighbor. We saw that all the houses had collapsed and the fire was raging
like the end of the world until the forces arrived and the firefighters, my son is a firefighter too.
He's also here. They came and moved things around. I think about four or five people were
martyred. There were a few wounded and you're seeing the debris yourselves now. It's a residential
house. We know these residents. We don't even have a military presence. There are no military
people in this alley. The fire department has come here and is trying to help extract the people
who were trapped and those killed under the rubble. You can see the situation here, they're targeting
residential areas. Now they're attacking ordinary people. There are currently about 10 to 15
ordinary people in this building. The firefighters and red crescent have brought them out.
My colleagues, a two-year-old child was there this morning. The blast wave threw him from the
building across the street, woman and child. I don't know why they hit residential buildings.
You can see the intensity of the explosion and the destruction of buildings, one after another.
The structures in the southern part of Tehran are such that you can see the alleys are very narrow.
And when an explosion like this occurs, the damage extends to the entire alley,
so that not only is the targeted building as damage, but all the houses up to this point.
You can see destruction to the point where the alley is blocked.
Now a loader is forcefully opening the path to get here.
And behind me, you can see damaged cars due to the intensity of the debris.
We can see people, families who live in these houses have been told to wait over there
and not come forward until safety is established here. These are the people waiting for this site
to open, and their families are waiting to see if they can find those who are trapped under the
rubble. With tensions boiling in the Middle East and the death toll mounting, both signs in the
conflict are accusing each other of committing war crimes.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have warned the Iranian terrorist regime to stop
firing missiles at the civilian population in Israel. They will pay heavy, increasing prices
for this war crime. The entire world has witnessed the regime's wholesale slaughter of innocent
civilians. Human rights and international humanitarian law have been massively and
systematically violated by the invaders in an unprecedented brutal manner. They are targeting
civilians and civilian infrastructures with no regard for laws of war. Meanwhile at the UN,
the Secretary-General has said he believes international law is being broken across the
board in the Middle East and that whoever targets civilians has to be held accountable.
Our guests reacted to those statements.
What I see is always the same type of narrative to try to blame Iran for any kind of use of force
against either Israel or against any other kind of targets. I haven't seen anyone on the ground
trying to demonstrate or showing any kind of evidence that Iran is committing war crimes.
Iran is answering, he's fighting back, and this is a kind of concern, especially for the
strategy and for the agenda of both Israel and the United States.
These 10 days that Trump is asking for, or well, it's, it's, it's Trump that needs a 10 days for
peace, quote, peace talks. There's not going to be any real peace talks. There haven't been any
real peace talks. Trump needs 10 days because they're trying to gather together a knockout below.
Trump needs to get out of this war as soon as possible. We're now on day 28 of the four-day
exercise. They have no idea how to get out of this. The Straits of Hormuz are not
opening up. This is a desperate regime in Washington that has gotten itself into a war. They
cannot get themselves extricated out without losing a lot of face. So instead of losing face and
walking out and saving the lives of their own people while they're at it, they're going to double
triple and quadruple down. The notion that Israel or the United States, which has funded the genocide
in Gaza, is now arrogantly upset over what's been happening and Israel saying you're targeting
civilian infrastructure or population. It's destroyed Gaza. It's killed hundreds of thousands of
civilians in Gaza. Most of them were the majority of them children. It's destroyed every hospital,
every school, every aspect of the infrastructure. So when Israel and the United States, its primary
financial points of finger at someone else and says, war crimes and you shall pay, they need to
look in the mirror. There are no greater war criminals or supporter of genocide in my lifetime than
Israel and the United States. The US ambassador to the UN has claimed that Iran cannot critique
other countries for violations of international law as it itself breaks it. It doesn't also work
vice versa when considering Washington's track record. We shouldn't take this so serious as we
usually do because we know that Western officials usually they tend to protect interests,
not to protect exactly what what is international law. If you're a person of color or if you're a
person of faith, if you're a Muslim, you're a legitimate target. If you're white, if you're a member
of the global North, you're not. It is the West that continues to bomb, drop bombs all over the
place with impunity. It is everyone else that when they choose to resist, the finger is pointed
and they're accused. A choosing Iran or accusing Palestinians or accusing anyone else that's been
subject to this kind of vicious genocide and occupation is the penultimate example of the double
standard between the global North and the global South. I need to slightly disagree with my
colleague there, Mr. Cohen, being white and being Christian is no guarantee that you will not be
exterminated the same way by the Western powers. One needs to only look at Yugoslavia, one only
needs to look at Eastern Ukraine. So no, it's much more complex. It doesn't just run by skin color.
It doesn't just run by religion. These are people that are destroying other human beings are not
a not religious in particular Christians. Always a pleasure to have you with us here on RT
International. Come your way next. It's actually in Ritansi and the latest episode of going underground.
