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.

07:52by 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

08:36We 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.

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

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

19:37strategic partnership between our countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and China.
19:43Along with other major countries of the global south, China has insisted on the need to reform
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
20:20and seek a world where peace is at the center of our work.
