[00:00:00] that we we had before are no longer relevant today. We are united to defend Iran. To defend our country, our faith, our religion, our constitution, our rights, and our humanity. This is the best model that can be displayed, and the beauty of this movement is that there is no violence in it. Another positive point is that I, as an American, believe that if I go to these gatherings, the Iranian people will not kill me. They will tell me, 'Come here, stand, listen, and learn.' Yes, they might chant 'Death to America,' but I think everyone knows that this slogan has a political meaning and should not be interpreted literally. This slogan expresses Iran's anger at those who hate Iran, try to harm its people, and intend to kill them. If I, as an American, were in Tehran and heard people chanting 'Death to America,' I would not run away. What people mean is that they don't want anyone to harm them. They want to live in peace. I was in Iran in 2005. Iran is a beautiful country, and its people are also beautiful and lovable. It was truly an amazing experience. If more Americans could travel to Iran, see Iran up close, and understand the realities, we would not support such a war. But unfortunately, Americans today do not have a correct understanding of the reality of Iran. We see images that opponents of Iran provide to us. The Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered the claim of diplomatic initiative in Trump's deputy's letter to be contrary to warmongering and repeated violation of White House commitments, saying: The basis for talks is Iran's seven-step plan, and the ball is in America's court. Mr. Baghaei also likened Trump's threat to attack Iran's nuclear facilities to a violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, warning that nuclear weapon holders are closely monitoring US behavior, and the White House, with these threats, is creating a pattern whose result is a threat to international security. The spokesperson for the foreign policy institution, in response to the accusation of Jewish. exist.
[00:00:03] Over the years, Jordan has become a stopover
[00:00:06] for Palestinians who have been driven from their homes and
[00:00:10] displaced to other countries. I am a
[00:00:13] descendant of the Atta family.
[00:00:16] May God bless his soul and my
[00:00:18] father's. He lived in Katamon, a part of
[00:00:22] West Jerusalem that was occupied in '48.
[00:00:26] Therefore, we were forced
[00:00:29] to leave our homes in the '48
[00:00:32] war and were driven
[00:00:35] out.
[00:00:37] These are parts of the architectural plans of our home
[00:00:40] in Katamon, and I see the date of the stamp
[00:00:43] on it that says "City Engineering
[00:00:47] Department" January 4,
[00:00:51] 1900 and let me see,
[00:00:54] yes, January 4,
[00:00:58] 194.
[00:01:03] This was something I was very pleased and happy to see
[00:01:06] and find. My father's signature as
[00:01:09] the owner
[00:01:11] is here. Khalil
[00:01:15] Attiyeh.
[00:01:17] Mohammad Atta runs a farm in the Jordan Valley, directly
[00:01:21] opposite his hometown of Jericho.
[00:01:24] He is one of nearly four
[00:01:27] million Palestinian refugees in Jordan, who are counting the
[00:01:31] days until they can return to their former
[00:01:34] homes.
[00:01:37] We left Jericho when I was 13 years old
[00:01:40] during the '67 war. One of the things
[00:01:43] that remains in my memory is how all of us, my mother
[00:01:47] and her 12 children, and some neighbors, all got
[00:01:51] into one car. Well, another thing I remember is that
[00:01:54] Israeli planes were bombing people as they
[00:01:58] fled, yes, bombing them as they fled, yes, bombing them.
[00:02:01] We are talking about the repetition of history and how
[00:02:04] a family was actually
[00:02:08] massacred and killed by a plane.
[00:02:12] Right
[00:02:19] nearby, just across the Jordan River in
[00:02:23] the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Israel has
[00:02:26] walled off and isolated most urban areas and declared
[00:02:30] many rural communities as closed military
[00:02:33] zones.
[00:02:37] Umm al-Amad, a community of 300 people, was
[00:02:40] declared a closed military zone in May 2023, and
[00:02:44] its residents were expelled.
[00:02:48] In 2023 alone, 12 such communities
[00:02:51] were driven out at gunpoint.
[00:02:55] The people of Umm al-Amad today live in camps
[00:02:59] less than a few kilometers from their former
[00:03:02] homes in the occupied West Bank. It was
[00:03:05] 1967 when Israel decided to
[00:03:09] seize our land. By 1969,
[00:03:11] our displacement began. They constantly moved us from
[00:03:15] one place to another. One day in 1969,
[00:03:18] they gave us 24 hours to
[00:03:22] evacuate. They said, "Pack your belongings and go to
[00:03:26] Ramallah." We loaded everything we had onto a rusty
[00:03:29] truck, and they said, "You can stay in Isawiya." But
[00:03:32] today, March 15, 2023, two army jeeps and three
[00:03:36] settler vehicles arrived. From 1967 until today, I have
[00:03:40] not had one night of peaceful
[00:03:42] sleep. Since the start of the war in Gaza,
[00:03:46] more than 300 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers and the
[00:03:50] army.
[00:03:54] In a parallel battlefield, Israel has a
[00:03:57] mechanism through which approximately 20,000 people are
[00:04:01] daily employed to control checkpoints for Palestinians,
[00:04:05] wherever they may be. A part of this control
[00:04:08] and surveillance sometimes includes confronting individual
[00:04:12] cases of ethnic cleansing. But this is a
[00:04:15] continuous reality that never ends
[00:04:19] and never stops. What Jordan and Egypt are
[00:04:23] doing today is raising global awareness about the
[00:04:26] issue of forced mass displacement and Israel's true
[00:04:30] goals so that such a scenario does not happen. Today, we
[00:04:34] can never say that forced mass displacement belongs
[00:04:37] to the past and cannot be repeated. We
[00:04:41] wait, we pray that we will return.
[00:04:44] I believe that I will
[00:04:46] return home.
[00:04:49] But I will take my tent with me because all
[00:04:53] our homes have been razed to the ground. We will take
[00:04:57] our children's tent and spend the rest of our lives
[00:05:00] there, of course, if we survive. Thank God, what
[00:05:04] else can we do? Nothing at all.
[00:05:08] Praise be to God. Despite the various crimes against
[00:05:11] Palestinians after October 7, many Gazans returned after
[00:05:15] the ceasefire, despite continued Israeli attacks on
[00:05:18] the Gaza Strip. Many of them do not want to
[00:05:22] leave Gaza at any cost, so that the bitter
[00:05:25] experience of 1948, which Palestinians call the Nakba,
[00:05:28] is not repeated. They want to remain in their own
[00:05:31] land, even if it has
[00:05:32] been destroyed.
[00:05:50] The proud champions of our country's
[00:05:53] cultural wrestling have returned from the World Championships
[00:05:57] with this beautiful and colorful trophy. Cheers
[00:06:00] to your passion! Welcome back! Glad you
[00:06:03] made it. It was so good. Yes, I bow my
[00:06:06] head in respect. We thank
[00:06:09] God that, praise be to Allah, the Lord
[00:06:13] of the Worlds, the children of our dear
[00:06:17] Iran had this blessing to bring smiles to
[00:06:20] people's faces at this difficult time, amidst these
[00:06:24] anxieties caused by war, and in these living
[00:06:28] conditions. The hearts of the people, even if
[00:06:30] someone was happy for a second, Ali Agha, this
[00:06:34] is the greatest divine event for us. Thank
[00:06:37] God. Long live! Long
[00:06:40] live! Long live!
[00:06:47] The best coach in the world of cultural wrestling,
[00:06:51] we are nothing. It's God's grace,
[00:06:53] reliance on the
[00:06:56] Ahl al-Bayt, infrastructure, hardware,
[00:07:00] equipment that my good brother, Mr. Dabir,
[00:07:04] the head of the Wrestling Federation, provided.
[00:07:07] All these excellent tools, all of them
[00:07:10] made it possible for us not to be ashamed
[00:07:14] in front of the people. We are all indebted to
[00:07:17] the people.
[00:07:25] 10 people returned with 9 medals. They didn't
[00:07:28] want to give the other one. They changed the colors
[00:07:32] of two or three of them. Maybe it's not good to
[00:07:35] sour the people's mood
[00:07:45] now. We must prove that the ability
[00:07:48] of our youth, with war, sanctions,
[00:07:51] and all the difficult conditions that our dear people
[00:07:54] are afflicted with these days, our worthy
[00:07:58] youth can literally do it. You were very
[00:08:02] good, yes. Everywhere in the world, Ali Agha,
[00:08:06] you know that they are investing in wrestling, an
[00:08:09] Olympic sport. The number of medals in the
[00:08:13] Olympics is very high, and our kids were
[00:08:17] brave. They were brave. I have talked a lot. I just
[00:08:20] want to cut it short, Ali
[00:08:23] Agha. Our children's
[00:08:25] best feeling is that the name
[00:08:42] of Iran is glorified.
[00:08:50] Sir, your little ones must be
[00:08:53] feeling strange now, because you're not there to
[00:08:56] see them. I think they will. We had
[00:09:00] three events, yes. Asian Games, World Championships,
[00:09:03] World Hopes in America. If I stay longer,
[00:09:06] they'll call me uncle. This Miss Hana
[00:09:10] is my breath, my heart, my life,
[00:09:14] my beautiful daughter. She
[00:09:17] takes good care of me and her mother. She was
[00:09:20] here waiting for you with flowers. And this Mr. Herman,
[00:09:24] now that he saw me, he won't leave me alone
[00:09:28] until further notice, because
[00:09:42] he says, "If he leaves home now, who knows when he'll be back?"
[00:09:46] One of the kids from the wrestling federation told me
[00:09:49] that many teams were trying to recruit Hassan
[00:09:53] Rangraz for their national teams. Do you accept
[00:09:56] good foreign offers that I've heard? As long
[00:10:00] as I can serve these kids and do my
[00:10:03] duty, I will definitely do it with pride.
[00:10:06] The good offer was from
[00:10:10] two years ago. After the Olympics, these
[00:10:13] offers have been continuous.
[00:10:16] We are
[00:10:19] the dust under the people's feet, we are the
[00:10:22] people's servants. Well, God willing, we can serve
[00:10:26] these kids, and they can make the people
[00:10:30] happy. There is no greater
[00:10:31] honor for us, is there?
[00:10:40] Mr. Rangraz, is there any specific reward
[00:10:43] you have in mind that they should give to this
[00:10:47] team, to you, to the kids, for the valuable
[00:10:50] work they did? They should definitely be served
[00:10:54] in a dignified manner,
[00:11:25] and most importantly, this kid. You broke the
[00:11:28] record, you're in the headlines, you made history.
[00:11:32] In 5 minutes, it was a gold medal. I don't
[00:11:35] know, yes, I think it was almost 5 minutes
[00:11:39] for all your matches. You dominated everyone.
[00:11:41] He doesn't even have the patience to wrestle
[00:11:45] much. One more time, 7-0. Everything goes
[00:11:49] back to the effort we put in before.
[00:11:53] We started working last
[00:11:55] Azar (November/December). They held national team camps,
[00:11:59] and we were also present in the camps.
[00:12:02] We went through a
[00:12:07] lot of training.
[00:12:12] What was the story of the angiography? You
[00:12:16] had an angiography a few weeks before the
[00:12:20] competitions, 15 days before the competition. Sir,
[00:12:23] for a year or two, we were dealing with a
[00:12:27] heart issue. Yes, in the last 20 days,
[00:12:31] this issue came up. We said, "Let's go
[00:12:34] and get it done so the danger is removed."
[00:12:37] Thank God, yes, I had a surgery, and
[00:12:40] that surgery went well. And I was able to.
[00:12:44] Where are you from, sir? Mazandaran, Amol.
[00:12:46] Did you see what was happening
[00:13:25] in your neighborhood? The people are kind. My
[00:13:28] neighbors and fellow citizens gave their all.
[00:13:31] So, you're a capitalist's
[00:13:34] son, no, this is hard. Livestock farming
[00:13:38] is a hard job.
[00:13:45] The beginning and spring are a
[00:13:48] bitter taste. You see, one
[00:13:52] shouldn't forget their past. We came from where to
[00:13:56] where? I came from the
[00:14:09] heart of that very Rosetta to here. I
[00:14:12] shouldn't forget my past. I shouldn't forget my
[00:14:16] roots. Fahdeen, what do you want now? A
[00:14:19] reward? People are going through difficult times.
[00:14:22] War conditions, and in this situation, if
[00:14:26] we have been able to bring a smile to
[00:14:29] their lips even for a minute, the One
[00:14:32] above will provide.
[00:14:50] Thank God. Good for you, go and join
[00:14:54] your family. They are waiting a lot. I
[00:14:58] will hand you over to Mr. Gholam and Merci.
[00:15:00] Yes.
[00:15:03] How old are you, Mr. Foroughi? 24. Mashallah.
[00:15:06] Where are you from? Shiraz, south of the
[00:15:09] city, Darvazeh Kazer. They used to say "Kaku Shirazi".
[00:15:12] You're on your own.
[00:15:15] This is your second world senior gold. The
[00:15:19] second one, yes. Last year was also gold.
[00:15:22] Last year was also gold. Mashallah. I'll
[00:15:26] go from there. Four points, four points.
[00:15:29] Everyone there was already bowing in respect. They
[00:15:33] look at Iran with a different eye now.
[00:15:36] They come and fight
[00:15:39] for second and third place. Excellent. You
[00:15:43] made a very good move. What did you
[00:15:46] do on the mat? Tell us so we
[00:15:50] can show the picture. The symbol of Ghadir,
[00:15:53] yes. Before the competitions, I went to Karbala.
[00:15:56] I went to Karbala, made a pilgrimage, and
[00:15:59] came back. Najaf, my
[00:16:01] father's house.
[00:17:41] Have mercy on me. The country's situation is
[00:17:45] very difficult. The people are in great hardship.
[00:17:48] War, livelihood, many problems. Help me raise
[00:17:52] this flag, make them happy. Let me stand
[00:17:56] in the middle as the symbol of Ghadir
[00:17:59] and shout. Give me this worthiness
[00:18:03] to be able to do this. Thank
[00:18:06] God, it happened. I still respect Iran
[00:18:10] as a country, I respect the people of
[00:18:13] Iran, and I respect the Iranian army. You
[00:18:17] know, in the West, especially in America, we
[00:18:20] tend to judge others. We treat you with
[00:18:24] extreme disrespect because we cannot overcome cultural
[00:18:28] differences and see beyond them. As a result,
[00:18:32] we fail to understand important realities, including
[00:18:35] the fact that Iran has one of the
[00:18:39] highest ratios of specialists and researchers with PhDs
[00:18:43] and peer-reviewed scientific works. Iranians are among
[00:18:47] the most educated people in the world. Iran
[00:18:51] holds a prominent position in mathematics, physics, and
[00:18:54] various sciences. This superiority is not limited
[00:18:58] to academia but is also reflected in how
[00:19:01] Iran has developed its economy and industry.
[00:19:04] I was familiar with some of Iran's military
[00:19:08] achievements. These achievements are truly remarkable. Such
[00:19:12] advancements are only possible when Iran has mastered
[00:19:16] advanced technologies. To be honest, in some
[00:19:19] areas, the technologies that Iran has achieved are
[00:19:23] even beyond America's capabilities. Some of the work
[00:19:27] Iran is doing in ballistic missiles is truly
[00:19:31] astonishing. These capabilities are admirable. Iran is
[00:19:34] very capable in rapidly identifying this technology,
[00:19:38] then analyzing it to understand how it works
[00:19:42] and finding ways to counter it. We had
[00:19:45] a 40-day war with you. I believe a
[00:19:48] large part of the actions Iran took during
[00:19:52] this period were to test the missile defense
[00:19:56] capabilities of the United States, Israel, and
[00:19:59] the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, and
[00:20:02] then to find solutions for the problems it
[00:20:06] identified. Today, I believe
[00:20:09] Iran has found the necessary solutions and has
[00:20:13] incorporated them into its current ballistic missile
[00:20:17] capabilities. We imagine that we have limited
[00:20:20] ability to counter Iran's
[00:20:24] missiles because we look at the successes we
[00:20:27] achieved during this conflict. But we don't realize
[00:20:31] that those were not actually successes but rather
[00:20:35] tests from which Iran learned and adapted its
[00:20:39] capabilities to the new conditions. I don't think
[00:20:42] we have a solution for the Iran problem.
[00:20:46] Therefore, I believe we will enter into a
[00:20:50] situation that we don't understand, and it will
[00:20:53] not have a good outcome for us.
[00:20:57] We have seen many reports and news in
[00:21:00] the mainstream media about the shortage of American
[00:21:03] missile reserves. Given these reports, what is
[00:21:06] your opinion on America's military capability?
[00:21:10] Well, first of all, I respect the men
[00:21:14] and women who wear the uniform of the
[00:21:18] United States military. They joined the military not
[00:21:22] to fight against Iran, but to defend their
[00:21:25] country. Unfortunately, the government asks them
[00:21:29] to do things that are not their own
[00:21:32] desire. But we must also be realistic.
[00:21:35] America waged a 40-day war against you, and
[00:21:39] I must say, we lost. That's the
[00:21:42] reality. We didn't win. There's another
[00:21:46] point I want the people of Iran to
[00:21:50] understand. People say America lost in Vietnam.
[00:21:53] Yes, we lost politically in Vietnam. But the
[00:21:56] Vietnamese never defeated us on the battlefield.
[00:22:00] Never. We also lost politically in Afghanistan.
[00:22:04] But the Taliban never defeated us on the
[00:22:07] battlefield. We were invincible on the battlefield.
[00:22:10] The American soldier was invincible. If we went
[00:22:14] into battle, we would win that battle. But
[00:22:17] this is the first
[00:22:20] time in American history that we have been
[00:22:23] defeated. The Iranians defeated us. You literally
[00:22:27] defeated us. The Iranians won by ensuring
[00:22:31] that we did not achieve any of our
[00:22:34] goals. You defeated
[00:22:36] us because you had
[00:22:39] a better plan than us. We have no
[00:22:43] solution to counter your missiles. We cannot intercept
[00:22:47] and destroy them in the necessary numbers.
[00:22:50] You are still producing missiles and you are
[00:22:54] still improving them. Your air defense system
[00:22:57] is also very effective
[00:23:02] and efficient. We would like to say that
[00:23:06] we defeated you. But if that happened, why
[00:23:09] were our planes still being lost at the
[00:23:13] end of the war? The reason is that
[00:23:17] we had not defeated you. You are smarter
[00:23:20] than us. You know us better than we
[00:23:24] know you. Since the end of the
[00:23:27] war, nothing has happened to convince me that
[00:23:31] the United States has learned the necessary lessons
[00:23:35] to change the course of future battles. Our
[00:23:38] ammunition for self-defense will run out. The
[00:23:42] ammunition we have to attack Iran will also
[00:23:46] run out. But the Iranians will not run
[00:23:50] out of ammunition, and ultimately, we will once
[00:23:54] again be defeated in battle by the Iranians.
[00:23:57] Finally, I want to ask you a question
[00:24:00] about the resistance of the Iranian people. We
[00:24:04] in Iran have been coming to the streets
[00:24:08] for over 200 nights. We say
[00:24:11] that we support our country, we support Ayatollah
[00:24:15] Khamenei, and we are ready to fight America
[00:24:19] and Israel. What is
[00:24:21] your opinion about the resistance of the Iranian
[00:24:25] people? Well, I have to
[00:24:29] be careful here because I am an American.
[00:24:33] As you know, I have stood against aggressive
[00:24:36] and illegal wars. I opposed the invasion of
[00:24:40] Iraq, and I oppose the current conflict against
[00:24:44] Iran. For a while, I have been trying
[00:24:47] to get the American people to remember
[00:24:50] what it means to be responsible and worthy
[00:24:54] citizens. There was a time when we gathered
[00:24:58] a million people in Washington to fight for
[00:25:02] civil rights. The American people have a long
[00:25:05] history of civil disobedience and holding protests that
[00:25:09] lead to change. But in recent years, we
[00:25:13] can no longer continue these movements consistently.
[00:25:16] One day we demonstrate. Here we have a
[00:25:19] movement called "Not My King" which opposes
[00:25:22] Donald Trump. In one day, it brings hundreds
[00:25:26] of thousands of people to the streets. But
[00:25:30] the next day, everyone goes home because we
[00:25:34] don't have the commitment and perseverance to continue
[00:25:37] this movement. Therefore, when you tell me
[00:25:40] that the people of Iran, hundreds of thousands,
[00:25:43] and perhaps even millions of people, have filled
[00:25:46] the streets of Iranian cities for more
[00:25:50] than 20 consecutive nights, I am truly amazed.
[00:25:54] This level of commitment is truly astonishing because
[00:25:57] it shows that people believe in what they
[00:26:01] are doing. In the West, they say that
[00:26:05] these people are paid to be in the
[00:26:09] streets. But you cannot buy people to stand
[00:26:13] in the streets for more than 20 consecutive
[00:26:16] nights. Those who go to the streets believe
[00:26:20] in what they are doing and in their
[00:26:24] cause. And the reason for this belief is
[00:26:27] that we, the United States, have committed a
[00:26:31] terrible act of aggression against you. We assassinated
[00:26:35] Ayatollah Khamenei. We killed his grandson, and we
[00:26:38] massacred children in Minab. The people of Iran
[00:26:41] are aware of this, and these issues have
[00:26:45] greatly angered them. I believe that before the
[00:26:48] war began, there were still concerns among the
[00:26:52] Iranian people. Economic dissatisfaction certainly existed. People were
[00:26:56] asking what happened to the economy and came to the streets to
[00:26:59] protest. The Iranian government
[00:30:22] said, "We hear your voice." But the CIA
[00:30:26] and Mossad tried to use these protests to
[00:30:30] achieve other goals. Before the war, there
[00:30:33] was popular opposition to the government. But the
[00:30:37] US and Israel launched a war against Iran.
[00:30:40] They assassinated Ayatollah Khamenei, attacked the Minab school
[00:30:44] and killed people. And how did the
[00:30:48] Iranian people react? They come to the streets
[00:30:51] every night and stand united, saying, "We are
[00:30:55] Iran. There is no division between us and
[00:30:58] the government. Any differences
