00:00The Iranian Armed Forces launched hundreds of ballistic missiles against key Israeli

00:15bases in the occupied Palestinian territories as part of what the Persian nation has called

00:20the Operation True Promise II.

00:26The new elected president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, was sworn in on Tuesday as the

00:30first female president in the history of the North American nation.

00:37And in Thailand, at least 25 people died on Tuesday after a school bus caught on fire

00:42during an excursion.

00:48Hello and welcome to From the South, I'm Alejandra Garcia from Telesur Studios in Havana, Cuba.

00:52We begin with the news.

01:09Iranian authorities said in a statement Tuesday that its armed forces had launched hundreds

01:14of ballistic missiles against Israeli key military and intelligence bases in the Palestinian

01:18occupied territories.

01:20The communique was issued by Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, IRGC, which said the

01:26attack, dubbed Operation True Promise II, was launched in response to the assassinations

01:32of Palestinian resistance movement chief Ismail Haniyeh, Lebanese resistance leader Sayed

01:37Hassan Nasrallah, and the Iranian corps commander Abbas Nilfo Roshan.

01:42The IRGC stressed that the attack was in line with the country's stride to legitimate self-defence,

01:49as per the United Nations Charter, and in response to the Israeli regime's escalating

01:53crimes against the peoples of Lebanon and Gaza.

01:56The attack also targeted three military bases near the city of Tel Aviv.

02:05The president of Iran, Massoud Pashinyan, made a statement through the social network

02:09X in response to the country's recent retaliation to the attacks perpetrated by the Zionist

02:15regime of Israel.

02:16Proposed on social network, Pashinyan expressed on the basis of legitimate rights and with

02:22the aim of achieving peace and security for Iran and the region, a decisive response was

02:27given to the aggression of the Zionist regime.

02:30This action was in defence of Iran's interests and citizens.

02:34Let Netanyahu know that Iran is not belligerent, but firmly opposes any threat.

02:40This is just one corner of our power.

02:42Do not enter into a conflict with Iran.

02:46In this context, the Minister of Defence of Iran made an important declaration stating

02:54that a variety of missiles of national manufacture were used in the operation.

02:59He also stated that they attack military and security targets and their operations are

03:03legitimate.

03:04Further, the minister assured that if the Zionist entity responds to their operations,

03:09they will receive an even harder blow.

03:12Finally, he asserted that the operation was in response to Israeli attacks and warned

03:17that if they respond back, he will launch larger barrages of missiles.

03:27Thousands of Iranians took to the streets of the nation's main cities to celebrate

03:31and express their support to the Persian government's military response to the Israeli regime's

03:36attacks against Gaza and Lebanon, and for the assassination of Ismail Hanije, Hassan

03:40Nasrallah and Abbas Nifur Hussain.

03:43The Zionist regime has not only committed and continues to commit crimes against humanity

03:48and the Palestinian people, but also has attacked the Lebanese people, showing once again the

03:53terrorist and fascist nature against the Arab and Muslim peoples of the region.

04:04On the other hand, thousands in Iraq's capital, Baghdad, celebrated also the Iranian military

04:09operation against the terrorist actions and constant aggressions by the Zionist state

04:14of Israel.

04:19Likewise, Palestinians in Gaza joined the celebrations after the response of the Islamic

04:24Republic of Iran against the Israeli regime.

04:26The resistance movement praised the Iranian operation and pointed out that it was the

04:31most effective way to stop the Zionist regime's occupation and genocide in the region.

04:36On the other hand, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement highlighted that the Iranian

04:41response was the way to dissuade the Israeli occupation after the world remained silent

04:46in the face of the genocide perpetrated in the Gaza Strip.

04:54According to the Iranian television network Ispan TV, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin

04:59Netanyahu ran for cover to an underground shelter immediately after the Islamic Republic

05:04of Iran started its operation through Proviso 2 against Israeli military bases in the occupied

05:10territories and near the city of Tel Aviv.

05:12The new Iranian attack is twice as powerful as the previous one, launched against Tel

05:17Aviv last April 14th.

05:26Also in Palestine on Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike on a tent for displaced people in western

05:31Cantonese killed seven people including children and left a large number injured.

05:36The attack that set a car on fire came as the Zionist regime ramps up its aggression

05:40in Gaza.

05:41At the same time, it carried out multiple raids across the occupied West Bank.

05:51This is a shopping place of course.

05:53It is considered a market for the displaced.

05:56Suddenly we heard the sound of a big explosion and saw a car on fire.

06:01When we went to see what happened, we saw the remains and children lying on the ground.

06:05The targeted place is a shopping place full of children and women and all of them are

06:09civilians.

06:11The number of martyrs is large.

06:14Women and children were in the place.

06:18The Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia denounces that the West Bank and the Ukrainian

06:22regime are planning a chemical weapons attack in conjunction with Syrian terrorists.

06:27The Russian Commission in Syria warned on a report that the false positive operation

06:32would be conducted in the Idlib.

06:35The governor states intend to hold Moscow and Damascus responsible for it right after.

06:40The Commission unfolded that terrorists would use drones against the Russian Aerospace Forces

06:45in their facilities in order to detonate a chlorine canister.

06:50The Intelligence Service reaffirmed that the staged chemical attacks on Syria won't help

06:55the United States and allies in their attempts to undermine Russia's authority in the Global South.

07:38first female president in the history of the North American nation.

07:42During her inauguration speech in front of thousands of Mexicans gathered at the famous

07:46Zócalo Plaza Square, the head of the state reviewed a list of 100 key issues to be prioritized

07:52by her administration, dubbing that list was her government's decision to work together

07:57with the economic factors in the country and to maintain and defend the nation's historical

08:02principle of independence and sovereignty.

08:22We will root with the division between economic power and political power.

08:36We will never be subjected to economic, political, economic interests or foreign interests.

08:47The Mexican president also highlighted that her government will respect human rights and

08:52will never use force to repress the people.

08:56Human rights will be respected and never, we will never use the force of state to repress

09:05the people of Mexico.

09:08Bolivian head of state, Luis Arce, congratulated on Tuesday the new Mexican president, Claudia

09:12Sheinbaum, on the occasion of her inauguration as Mexico's first female head of state.

09:17In his official statement, the Bolivian president said it was a day of great significance for

09:22the Mexican people and expressed his best wishes for success in this new challenge.

09:27Arce also highlighted his conviction that the commitment that the new president has

09:31always shown to social justice and sustainable development will allow her to guide her people

09:37towards a future of well-being and prosperity.

09:40The South American head of state also expressed his regret for not being able to attend the

09:44inauguration ceremony, but reaffirmed that he had no doubt that they will soon meet to

09:50further strengthen the historic brotherly nations and relations between their peoples.

10:00On the other hand, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo

10:04joined the waves of congratulations and messages to the new Mexican president.

10:09In an official communication on Tuesday, the two Nicaraguan leaders expressed their affection,

10:14respect and recognition to President Sheinbaum and congratulated her on her inauguration

10:19day as the first female Mexican president.

10:22Ortega and Murillo also reiterated their admiration to the new head of state and the Mexican people

10:28along the shared path of fraternity and harmony for peace and for rights of their peoples.

10:33Finally, the Central American leaders told the new president that Mexico can continue

10:38counting on Nicaragua in the struggle for a better world.

10:46The President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, denounced that the attacks on Lebanon, the

10:51genocide in Gaza and the threats against Iran are part of a project of domination and colonization

10:56of the Middle East.

10:57On Monday, during his program with Maduro Mas, the Venezuelan head of state regretted

11:02that the United Nations has entered into what he referred as a vacuum and a process of attrition.

11:08In addition, he denounced that the United States is delivering weapons for the Israeli

11:12Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to launch a campaign of aggressions in order to dominate

11:17the region and take control of the energy resources.

11:20Furthermore, President Maduro referred to the wars perpetrated by Washington and its

11:24allies against Arab and Muslim countries aligned with the project of domination that currently

11:30has the Tel Aviv regime as its main executor.

11:40They already tried to destroy Syria, they destroyed Libya.

11:44In the past, they invented there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and killed a million

11:48Iraqis.

11:55They invaded Iraq.

11:57It is a war on the Arab peoples, the Muslim peoples.

12:00It is a war to colonize the whole of the known Middle East.

12:03What is behind this offensive?

12:08The threats against Iraq, the threats against Iran, the criminal attacks on Yemen, the attempt

12:17to colonize, to conquer the territory of the Arab people in Lebanon.

12:24There is a project of domination and colonization of the Arab, Muslim and Middle Eastern world.

12:31In the United States, dock workers at 36 Eastern ports went on strike for the first

12:38time since 1977 to demand better wages and to reject automatization.

12:43Workers began the strike early Tuesday, despite some progress was made in recent contract

12:48negotiations.

12:49The union issued a statement rejecting the proposal, stating that it does not meet the

12:54workers' demands on wages and protection against automatization.

12:58According to experts, the labor stoppage could paralyze the supply chains and could

13:03cost the economy between $3.8 and $4.5 billion per day, causing shortages just a few weeks

13:10before the presidential elections, a situation that could interfere in the voters' choice.

14:57since the country has some of the world's highest poverty and hunger levels, despite

15:01being a top oil producer on the continent.

15:04This is the second mass protest in two months in the African nation amid worsening hardship

15:08caused by the government's reforms to save more money and booster the declining foreign

15:13investments.

15:14The immediate impact of these economic policies has contributed to pushing the inflation rate

15:19to a 20-year high, while the currency language is at record lows against the dollar.

15:30Russian President Vladimir Putin prized the development of relations with China, reaching

16:39to announce wage and pension increases.

16:42In his inaugural speech to the National Assembly, the French Prime Minister warned that the

16:47country's mounting debts are a persistent threat to the economy.

18:10Its accelerated economic transformation, the technological innovations it has achieved,

18:15and its extraordinary social conquests have resulted in China's rise as a global power,

18:20making it a beacon of hope and inspiration for the world.

18:25Chinese President Xi Jinping also spoke about the transformations of the past 75 years.

18:33Over the past 75 years, the Communist Party of China has led the people of all ethnic

19:48international institutions to reflect current geopolitical realities.

19:52This agreement is also one of the highlights of Lugres, in connection with partnerships

19:56between Latin American and Caribbean countries and China.

20:05One of the fundamental elements of the dialogue between Latin America, the Caribbean and China

20:10is the defense of multilateralism and also of the system of peace and international security.

20:15Both China and Latin American countries believe that we must defend the United Nations system
