[00:00:01] an obituary paper for the United Nations, when when
[00:00:04] something like this happens from the head of one
[00:00:08] of the world powers like Trump, he
[00:00:12] comes to the United Nations and he used it as a podium in
[00:00:16] order to direct
[00:00:18] accusations and
[00:00:21] direct threats of aniliation for
[00:00:24] very genuine civilized nation like
[00:00:28] Iran then this means... "we are towards the end
[00:00:30] of the world actually, and when we say
[00:00:33] this, we say this is the end
[00:00:36] of the United Nations itself, I believe they should have done something about
[00:00:40] it, they should have stopped him from doing this, but as we all know,
[00:00:44] this is Jungle low that is America and acting in the world,
[00:00:47] now we don't even have any decision of course on Israel when it
[00:00:51] comes to the genocide that is continuous up until now, let's look at the
[00:00:55] position
[00:00:55] of the Islamic Republic of Iran, now we saw of course the general assembly uh,
[00:00:59] there's of course." the
[00:01:00] of president
[00:01:00] of the Islamic Republic of Iran uh, but we it's quite
[00:01:04] symbolic, it seems as if Iran is standing its
[00:01:07] own, only of course with the very few
[00:01:11] resistance factions and some
[00:01:13] of the very few countries that have been
[00:01:15] of courageous enough to come out and speak against the tyrany and the hegemony
[00:01:18] of the US. Again, you you you're taking the words from my
[00:01:22] mouth, actually, this is what we should be talking about
[00:01:25] in and spreading the knowledge and consciousness among the people, if the
[00:01:29] if Iran, this the
[00:01:32] the the glorified Islamic Republic that has been fighting
[00:01:35] of and resisting
[00:01:36] of and defending since decades, you're talking more or less about almost
[00:01:40] 50 years, I mean it's always
[00:01:42] under siege, Iran
[00:01:45] of is under siege, Iran
[00:01:47] of is surrounded with
[00:01:49] of sanctions, Iran is under aggression, Iran is under occupation
[00:01:53] of during of Saddam's era epoke, Iran is under continuous
[00:01:56] bombardment from the United States and its allies from
[00:02:00] Israel, yet it's only one country in the world that has
[00:02:04] been able to stand up to the American arrogance, American tryny,
[00:02:08] American Hegimony, and it has been able
[00:02:10] of to bring tangible results, concrete results that we
[00:02:14] of can all as peoples
[00:02:19] of of the world feel proud of, and it could be emulated as an exemplary model for all the people and the governments to do, if Iran
[00:02:23] alone was able to do this, what if we have a congregation,
[00:02:27] of a cluster of states or governments that really
[00:02:29] in believe? and the struggle against the hijony and against
[00:02:32] the
[00:02:34] a world arrogance represented, embodded, displayed by
[00:02:37] America,
[00:02:38] of so I believe the Iran has stood up with all proud
[00:02:42] and pride and grace
[00:02:45] of to face
[00:02:46] of this world tyranny, this arrogance, this occupation,
[00:02:49] this
[00:02:51] of aggression, and it has done this very
[00:02:53] of successfully, what's worth mentioning here is that now we are talking
[00:02:57] about more or less a complete harmony between the... Iranian leadership and the Iranian
[00:03:01] people, the Iranian people are wise, are intelligent, are
[00:03:05] smart, are
[00:03:06] of civilized, are learned, you're talking about people who understand
[00:03:09] what's really going on, because it's not only a war of bombs that is spreading
[00:03:13] around, we're talking about a war of lexicon, a war of
[00:03:17] consciousness, a war psychological warfare that is been
[00:03:20] waged, a war of terminology to call what's happening
[00:03:24] by its name, for example, mean who could
[00:03:28] imagine that
[00:03:29] in israel cannot be as an occupation as a
[00:03:32] genocidal state and it's being ruled
[00:03:36] by war by war criminals bunch of war
[00:03:40] of criminals, mean this is this is fact that is
[00:03:43] being it should the world should spread around
[00:03:47] and they are trying to mislead the people about
[00:03:50] of it, of they are trying to defend Israel, we have seen what
[00:03:52] happened, let alone that all
[00:03:56] of the attempts by them to if you want to to...
[00:04:00] wash make this brain wash for the people, they haven't been
[00:04:04] able to do it, and we have seen it was a scene by itself that
[00:04:08] many
[00:04:08] of the delegations, they wanted, they went
[00:04:12] out when war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu entered in
[00:04:16] order to deliver his
[00:04:17] a speech, so this is something very important, there is definitely growing hate
[00:04:21] of of in course inter on the international level, but what do you see happening right now, I
[00:04:24] mean it doesn't seem that no one there's no
[00:04:26] in impunity uh and we heard it even from countries like Jordan with... are
[00:04:30] allies with the US, they also have ties to Israel, uh,
[00:04:34] the the king of Geordan clearly said that
[00:04:36] of as of long as Israel is taking more land in Syria, and that is also
[00:04:39] a
[00:04:40] a clear example that it doesn't see anyone stopping it
[00:04:43] of and continues on that respect. what do you see happening? do you
[00:04:47] do you think that with of course with Trump's threats and at the same time
[00:04:51] talking about negotiations? Iran has clearly said it is ready for
[00:04:55] of negotiations, but at the same time
[00:04:56] it is ready to defend itself if there be any war against it so... what
[00:05:00] is it a 50/50 situation? are we looking at the possibility of a war, but at the
[00:05:04] same time the possibility of perhaps some sort of an agreement that could
[00:05:08] probably end the Israeli uh
[00:05:11] of despotism, which seems to be?
[00:05:12] this is this
[00:05:14] is this is very tough to predict actually, because you know when you follow
[00:05:18] the statements of Donald Trump,
[00:05:22] you have to always be alert and you have always to
[00:05:25] warn yourself, do I believe this or should I believe this or
[00:05:29] what's going to be say, what is he going to say next, actually, because at the same time
[00:05:33] while he's saying I'm going to wipe out a civilization, just
[00:05:37] imagine the word, imagine the terminology, I want to
[00:05:40] wipe out a whole civilization. who would say it's
[00:05:43] a condemnation for himself by himself actually that you want to
[00:05:47] wipe out the civilization who are you what where were you when the Iranian
[00:05:51] civil civilization extends 600 years back in the
[00:05:55] history deep in the history roots in the history when you come and
[00:05:58] threaten you're totally right here I want to commend and
[00:06:02] praise and congratulate the Iranian leadership and the Iranian people for
[00:06:06] their steadfastness for their
[00:06:09] patriotism and for their this deep sense of... of
[00:06:12] commitment and belonging to their own country and not being a brainwashed
[00:06:16] like others, mean in the whole world, they they they
[00:06:20] stand steadfast against the American threats while they say we're ready
[00:06:24] for negotiations, but it should be with full respect for the Iranian
[00:06:28] rights, you should lift the siege, you should stop this
[00:06:32] aggression, and more importantly Iran is emerging as
[00:06:36] a super regional power now, because it's only it's also
[00:06:40] not only looking for its own. It's more or
[00:06:43] less looking for the interests and here we're talking about basic
[00:06:47] interests of other people like Lebanon, like Iraq, like Yemen,
[00:06:51] they the Palestine, Gaza, they want to ensure that they are
[00:06:55] going to make deal which would include all the sector the resistance, all
[00:06:59] the access the resistance talking about the security the entire region
[00:07:03] as a whole, absolutely, because everybody knows that the Americans are going to
[00:07:06] go out, actually the Americans themselves know this, everybody knows
[00:07:10] this, it has
[00:07:11] been a very important. and very eloquent lesson for everybody that the
[00:07:15] Americans couldn't defend their own military bases in the
[00:07:18] Gulf in Jordan here and there and they couldn't defend the countries
[00:07:22] themselves so they have to make other calculations, I believe
[00:07:26] Iran has been able to push this to the forefront, so
[00:07:29] everybody, every government, every state, every
[00:07:32] kingdom, every emert, they should think profoundly and they should come out
[00:07:36] with conclusions that help in the rearrangement the
[00:07:40] region any. that ensure
[00:07:44] their safety, dignity, independence, but ensure as
[00:07:48] well that no American Hegemony will continue to extend. Of course, one the main
[00:07:52] allies of of Iran is Hizballah, let's talk a little bit about Hisballah, especially
[00:07:55] now we're coming with the second anniversary the the
[00:07:59] marterdom of Sayid Hasan Nasarlah, the the sayid of
[00:08:03] martters of course the entire nation, but you also have a whole line of
[00:08:07] commanders that was directly killed by Israel
[00:08:10] and that is of course it's part of its new policy. killing everyone
[00:08:13] and
[00:08:14] uh and also with the pagers attack and everything and everything that hizbullah and its
[00:08:18] society went through, hizballah was still standing, they fought in the 66
[00:08:22] day war, they fought in the last war as well and surprises of course
[00:08:26] the israelis with the FPV, but why has hazbillah stopped its resistance with the
[00:08:29] fact that we do have occupied territory? well, I have to
[00:08:33] remind you, if you dig deep down into the history of calculations
[00:08:37] of hizballah and how it works, how it functions, how it thinks, you
[00:08:41] will come with very... excellent and amazing examples, I can
[00:08:44] give you one very simple example, in the year 2001,
[00:08:48] this say the liberation day and we have you the
[00:08:52] 25th of May we have the day of liberation and
[00:08:55] resistance here in Lebanon, it's a feast everybody knows
[00:08:59] about, I mean said nasrallah came himself and said we could
[00:09:03] have executed or we we could have launched daily
[00:09:07] operations against the occupation but he didn't, he used to call
[00:09:10] them thkiriya that we we carry operations of
[00:09:14] remembrance that we still have areas under
[00:09:18] occupation, but we don't want to go and fight just like tomorrow, the
[00:09:22] resistance in every country, the story of
[00:09:25] resistance, the history of resistance, it's sit and run, it's a gorilla
[00:09:29] warfare, it's not classical army that stands there to defend geography,
[00:09:33] and if it's breaking then it it is destroyed and it
[00:09:37] surrenders, the resistance forces, the people they
[00:09:41] never surrender. "certain governments have their own
[00:09:44] calculations, presidency, why the Iranian leadership,
[00:09:48] presidency, why the Iranian leadership is not surrendering, you know
[00:09:51] why? because there is a complete harmony, a
[00:09:55] complete fusion between the leadership and the people, they are all
[00:09:59] there, even now if the leadership takes any decision, the people
[00:10:03] will come on streets, we know this, here in Lebanon, the
[00:10:06] governments, because they are being dictated or they are being installed from outside,
[00:10:10] they don't listen to the people pulse." and what they are doing, I go, I go back
[00:10:14] to your question directly, why is since the
[00:10:18] 27th or 27-eleven,
[00:10:22] when the government took control the whole thing, you know, uh, you're talking
[00:10:25] about 2024, exactly the first cease fire. we we
[00:10:29] had still continues, the government took the rain from
[00:10:33] there, and they are responsible for what happened, and what happened is that because they have
[00:10:37] kept saying this is a war, it's devastating, it's whatever, okay, we
[00:10:40] accepted the seasfire, so callalled seasfire or the sessation of
[00:10:44] hostilities, we said the government will take control, we
[00:10:47] have evacuated the south of litani just
[00:10:51] like what has been, we have we agreed upon. but
[00:10:55] the problem that happened is that the government and the army,
[00:10:59] they have never done anything in order to defend the people or to stop the Israely
[00:11:03] aggression, instead of arming the army in with good
[00:11:07] equipments, instead of giving them orders to defend, they
[00:11:11] are giving them orders to withdraw before the
[00:11:14] Israelis, when the israelis come and come forward, they would tell them
[00:11:18] evacuate this place and evacuate this place, so who should be asked
[00:11:22] about this is the government itself, not Hisballah, because "we accepted
[00:11:26] the ceasefire, we accepted the agreement and they
[00:11:30] took control after that, they were in charge and they are still in
[00:11:33] charge, this is one thing, the other thing, we talking about
[00:11:36] calculations, very fine calculations that has to do with the people and their
[00:11:40] percussions that might happen to the people, I believe these are two
[00:11:44] determinants of why Hizballah is not carrying operations now
[00:11:48] as they did before okay now of course addition to the
[00:11:51] resistance uh block of course we don't call it and" the
[00:11:55] the the political wing and and the military wing, but there is
[00:11:59] political representation within the parliament, and many are looking,
[00:12:03] people are angry at this framework agreement that was
[00:12:06] signed by the Lebanese government, of course it has its own narrative, its own
[00:12:10] reasons perhaps for that, maybe it is under pressure from the
[00:12:14] US and so on, but it went of course to the Israelis without
[00:12:17] any points of strength, why hasn't
[00:12:20] Hazbullah used their political leverage in the parliament, for example,
[00:12:25] and the vote of confidence that like many people were expecting that there would
[00:12:28] be, perhaps giving asking telling the government that we will not give
[00:12:32] you confidence very clearly because the fact that we have no
[00:12:36] trust in this government and how it is dealing with the issue the israel we have to understand
[00:12:40] when it comes to this agreement, the framework agreement or agreement
[00:12:44] the frame, this is not something that has been brought to the government, this
[00:12:48] is not something that has been brought to the parliament to be discussed or
[00:12:52] to be voted upon, then we're talking about another. think we're talking
[00:12:55] about the government and the working and the ongoings in in the
[00:12:59] government, of course we have very particular and
[00:13:02] very basic
[00:13:03] fundamental
[00:13:07] objections to what the government is doing, but we are part the government,
[00:13:11] if we want to withdraw the confidence, the vote confidence, if if we
[00:13:15] have to say no confidence for the government then we have to be out the
[00:13:19] government, this is we cannot, you cannot continue to
[00:13:22] be present at the government when you...
[00:13:27] and it's not time to resign from the government now and the and and the other thing is to give
[00:13:31] confidence, we cannot give confidence because because we have these fundamental
[00:13:35] objections, so what's what would you do, you would withdraw, this is what we, this
[00:13:39] is this is a position by itself, and I tell you
[00:13:43] hizballah we, I'm sorry to say this, I mean
[00:13:46] people have the right to cast their opinions and to say
[00:13:50] or to object, and we respect this totally, but there is a leadership that
[00:13:54] thinks... profoundly about these issues from different sides and they
[00:13:58] would come with a conclusion, the conclusion is that it's not time to resign from the
[00:14:02] government
[00:14:04] and for the sake the people themselves we see that it is
[00:14:08] still valid for us to continue to be there otherwise while
[00:14:12] the hizbillah the martyrdom the leaders, the martyrdom
[00:14:15] the leaders, so many leaders martydom of say
[00:14:18] hasanlah, the martyrdom of
[00:14:21] sayd hashim, the martyrdom of others, this is huge... a
[00:14:25] big price that you cannot replace it or
[00:14:28] you cannot trade it,
[00:14:29] you cannot exchange it for anything, not a government, not a ministry, not
[00:14:33] whatever, you're talking about decent,
[00:14:36] respectful chastity
[00:14:40] souls that can never be replaced, this is
[00:14:43] something that's totally engraved in
[00:14:47] our hearts and our souls, but tell you hizballah
[00:14:51] is a very reasonable and
[00:14:53] then a very convincing and very rational way is
[00:14:56] carrying out
[00:14:57] their actions and their activities and their decisions for the sake the public
[00:15:01] good and for the sake of course we saw that Hazballah of course one
[00:15:04] in the municipal elections and we're expecting of course that Hazballah continues to be representative
[00:15:08] the people
[00:15:10] but how did you how do you see Hazbullah did they differ
[00:15:14] did it differ anyway after the marridom of Sied Hasan Nasarlah after what
[00:15:17] many are saying is actually defeat the resistance
[00:15:21] although himself said that mark not. "we
[00:15:25] cannot, the word defeat should be excluded completely, it should be
[00:15:28] obliterated, it should be thrown away, it has nothing to do with our
[00:15:32] with our dictionary with whatever, we need to understand very important
[00:15:36] equation, when you..." surrender when you have no more determination or
[00:15:40] resolve then there is a problem. leaders have
[00:15:44] gun, but we have leaders. his excellency, his
[00:15:47] eminency, qasim
[00:15:51] is our secretary general, he is the leader now, he
[00:15:55] took the flag from the hands
[00:15:58] of allah, this is very
[00:16:00] courageous, you're talking about
[00:16:03] soul of martydom that is engraved there in the soul. in
[00:16:07] the heart and in the within of Sheikh Naim Qasim which
[00:16:11] we praise and which we compliment
[00:16:15] and hold the high dearly to our hearts, I mean one
[00:16:19] is the same applies to the people, I mean people and fighters
[00:16:22] and mujhidin and the resistance fighters who have been
[00:16:26] there, families, absolutely, we're talking about a whole
[00:16:29] community, a whole society of martidom
[00:16:33] and of struggling against the enemy, and I
[00:16:36] believe... we talk about defeat, defeat is not in our
[00:16:40] dictionary, it should not be used, we might have some losses
[00:16:44] here or there, and this is very normal, this is very usual,
[00:16:48] resistance is never being defeated, and ours
[00:16:51] is an exceptional among the resistances, that's why I
[00:16:55] believe, no, we are on the right course, we need to
[00:16:59] have patience, we need to have understanding, we need
[00:17:02] to have this wisdom of what's happening, and we have them all, inshallah, we
[00:17:06] have only to be... patient a little now there is
[00:17:10] huge storming the region and
[00:17:13] the of Lebanon, it would it would reach its speak and it will break
[00:17:17] down, we need only to be patient and things will be properly well inshallah
[00:17:21] inshallah, i want to just
[00:17:24] you know on the emotional level, when was the last time you met with sayid or
[00:17:27] sayd hashhim and what was it like at the beginning
[00:17:30] the the the wave of assassinations of
[00:17:33] leaders? look i mean uh...
[00:17:37] "we used to meet
[00:17:39] Sayid Nasarlah regularly, but not on short intervals to tell you the
[00:17:43] truth, because he's been engaged with his work heavily,
[00:17:47] we've been doing our things as well. Say Hashim, we
[00:17:51] used to meet him more frequently actually, because we used to work
[00:17:55] together in certain issues, I can tell
[00:17:59] you, we were there, I mean, I have always
[00:18:02] had this this feeling that we might lose them any time, because
[00:18:06] you're fighting the..." word arrogance, you're fighting criminals and the criminals
[00:18:10] who kill children, who wipe out families, who carry
[00:18:14] genocide just like that, as if they are drinking water, they can do it
[00:18:17] for real people who are fighting them, we know that we are fighting
[00:18:21] them, we know that we want to fight them, as long as they are
[00:18:25] carrying occupation, they are executing occupation,
[00:18:28] killing, occupying our land, taking
[00:18:32] our resources, we will, this is our normal
[00:18:36] right, that's why I believe there there is huge
[00:18:39] vacuum there in our hearts and our souls for the loss the
[00:18:43] leadership, but alhamdulillah it's always replaced when we
[00:18:47] have this determination, this resolve, this leadership represented
[00:18:51] by Sheikh Naim Qasim and this companions, his brothers who are in the
[00:18:55] leadership, I believe we are in the safe hands and inshallah we
[00:18:59] will continue to hold tight the message and
[00:19:03] the all the goals that have been installed by Said Nasrallah.
[00:19:09] and hopefully this is something will bring us closer to our victory and
[00:19:13] to our triumph, now of course
[00:19:14] the the genocide and was a warning signal uh the loss
[00:19:18] of and this martterdom, you're saying it's bringing us closer
[00:19:22] to the victory with this systematic destruction in south Lebanon, how do you see things
[00:19:26] evolving there, I mean how long can Hisbullah stand to
[00:19:29] watch of course what is happening, it's not standing to watch actually
[00:19:33] because I mean people they are patient here, they now... "for
[00:19:37] every segment of history there is a way to deal with the things, now
[00:19:41] we are patient, now we are preparing ourselves, now we are
[00:19:45] building up our capabilities on so many different
[00:19:49] levels, not to divide secrets or whatever,
[00:19:52] but I believe I mean as long as the Israeli threat continues, the
[00:19:56] Israeli occupation, the Israeli aggression, now a chance is being
[00:20:00] given to the uh Lebanese government and to
[00:20:04] the authorities, official authorities to do something about it." "otherwise
[00:20:08] it's the choice and the decision the people themselves, if you go and tell them,
[00:20:12] I want to surrender, I want to hold the white flag, they'll
[00:20:16] tell you you are committing high treason against our cause,
[00:20:20] against our case, against our marters, as long as we have
[00:20:23] marters then we have more reasons and more
[00:20:27] incentives to continue to fight actually, because we want
[00:20:30] to hold our country totally independent
[00:20:34] with dignity, with..." security with
[00:20:38] safety and intact. All right, well,
[00:20:40] of course, as we commemorate the marterdom of say and all the
[00:20:44] marters, I want to give my conolces once more to you
[00:20:48] and of course.
[00:20:50] here we
[00:20:50] have mixture
[00:20:51] of of different feelings, actually at one stage, at one end
[00:20:55] you feel this, you are proud of yourself that you
[00:20:59] belong to this resistance and to this party party
[00:21:02] hizbullah, because you have given the the the most
[00:21:06] noble souls ever, dedication, devotion for the
[00:21:10] cause, and then you believe we are on the right track,
[00:21:14] at the same time we are deeply enraged as much
[00:21:17] as we are deeply. have this grief
[00:21:21] and this sadness, but it it's not going to
[00:21:25] put us aback, it will give us more incentive to continue in
[00:21:29] order to reach the goals that they have always looked for
[00:21:32] tota inshallah, thank you, thank you very much Dr. Ibrahim Musa,
[00:21:36] we member of parliament and uh representing hizballah in the Lebanese

[00:23:15] from the Asian silk road to modern industry, east
[00:23:18] Azerbaijan has connected Iran with the
[00:23:21] world,
[00:23:28] with rich mineral resources, thriving industries and
[00:23:31] agriculture, and breath taking landscapes, historic sites
[00:23:35] and cultural heritage, what opportunities does this
[00:23:38] northwestern province offer to investors and
[00:23:41] travelers?
[00:24:06] Step into the cockpit of
[00:24:07] history:
[00:24:12] this documentary reveals how Iran's f4 fighters, once
[00:24:16] symbols of power, became the front line a brutal way.
[00:24:23] war witness the courage, sacrifice and survival against
[00:24:27] impossible
[00:24:28] arts.
[00:24:44] For more than three decades, Iran's military doctrine
[00:24:48] rested on one simple: principle, strategic patience
[00:24:52] and retaliatory deterrence, nation still bearing the scars of
[00:24:55] eight-year imposed war, preferd to deter aggression through
[00:24:59] a network of defensive capability rather than
[00:25:03] direct confrontation, but today the page has
[00:25:06] turned. And this is a
[00:25:09] nutshell.
[00:25:36] To understand this shift, we have to go back to the roots of Iran's
[00:25:39] defensive doctrine, the eight-year war that Iraq
[00:25:43] trend, the eight-year war that Iraq backed by western powers
[00:25:47] imposed on Iran and military thinking. From that
[00:25:50] point on, Iran adopted a policy of passive defense, and
[00:25:54] later mosaic defense, an approach built on dispersing
[00:25:58] military capability, preserving territorial integrity and
[00:26:02] generate. the turns through the threat of retaliation rather
[00:26:05] than first strikes. the backbone of this defensive doctrine
[00:26:09] was Iran's missile program. the experience of Iraqi missile strikes on
[00:26:13] Iranian cities convinced Tehran that missile capability had to sit
[00:26:17] at the heart of its deterrant strategy. alongside that, combat drones,
[00:26:21] asymmetrical naval assets like fast attack crafts and sea mines in the
[00:26:25] Persian Gulf, and a network of regional resistance forces across West
[00:26:29] Asia became the tools that made any aggression against on
[00:26:32] prohibitively costly, without direct engagement. This approach
[00:26:36] relied on deterrance through the threat of retaliation, not
[00:26:39] preemption. But the 12-day war in 2025 and the
[00:26:43] 40-day war that began in February of 2026, permanently
[00:26:47] changed that equation. Iranian commanders have
[00:26:50] explicitly stated that the country's doctrine is shifting
[00:26:54] from defensive to offensive. Army spokesman, brigadier general
[00:26:58] Muhammad Akraminia made clear that this shift has occurred gradually.
[00:27:02] the course these two most recent wars, muhammad, advisor to the
[00:27:06] IRG commander and chief, also emphasized that Iranian forces must be
[00:27:10] ready to take operations into enemy territory whenever conditions
[00:27:13] demanded rather than simply waiting to absorb a strike. the leader the
[00:27:17] Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Mujtaba Khamenei institutionalized this
[00:27:21] transformation by appointing experienced commanders such as brigadier
[00:27:25] general Ahmad Wahidi to lead the IRGC, tasking them with
[00:27:28] strengthening deterrance through powerful offensive operations.
[00:27:33] The difference between these two doctrines lies exactly here:
[00:27:37] defensive doctrine waits to absorb a blow before
[00:27:41] retaliating, while an offensive doctrine allows Iran to
[00:27:45] neutralize a threat before it ever reaches execution.
[00:27:48] Under this new doctrine, Iran's response to any aggression will not only
[00:27:52] be faster, but will exceed the scale the original attack. A practical
[00:27:56] example of this approach was Iran's strike on the US base in Jordan
[00:28:00] carried out before Washington formly. point Israel's assault an action Iranian
[00:28:04] commanders cite as a model of preemptive operations. This approach has pulled
[00:28:08] the axis of resistance out of purely reactive posture and turn it
[00:28:12] into actor capable of shaping the battlefield in advance. What we
[00:28:16] are witnessing here is not merely a change in weaponry, it is a
[00:28:20] complete redefinition of Iran's position in the balance of
[00:28:23] power across West Asia. The era when Iran simply held
[00:28:27] its borders is over. Today, any act of aggression against
[00:28:31] Iranian sovereignty. will draw a response that extends
[00:28:34] well beyond those borders, clear message to Washington and
[00:28:38] Tel Aviv that the age of hit and run is not
[00:28:42] returning.
[00:30:04] The headlines, Iran's armed forces spokesman warns the US
[00:30:08] and
[00:30:09] desburdy regime that if they make another miscalculation, the Islamic
[00:30:12] Republic's response will be stronger and more
[00:30:15] extensive. Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez
[00:30:18] rejects unilateral coersive measures and intimidation,
[00:30:22] saying the law the jungle cannot be humanity's
[00:30:25] future. And
[00:30:29] Hamos's political bureau chief says the group will continue. to resist
[00:30:33] this freny occupation and defend palestinians using all
[00:30:36] legitimate means and
[00:30:37] tools.
