[00:00:13] Over the decades, West Asia has witnessed countless
[00:00:16] wars, yet almost all prominent international analysts and
[00:00:20] regional experts agree on one fundamental
[00:00:23] premise. October 7th was irreversible
[00:00:27] of turning point that fundamentally. and security
[00:00:31] arrangements and
[00:00:32] of security arrangements, no analyst the balance of
[00:00:36] power that exist the balance of power that existed
[00:00:40] before that
[00:00:41] date.
[00:00:46] three years ago, around this time, fighters
[00:00:49] of the Zeddin Qassam brigades and the military wing
[00:00:52] of the Palestinian Resistance reach the
[00:00:55] a heavily fortified multi-billion dollar border barrier
[00:00:59] of the occupied stories with extraordinary courage, launching the
[00:01:03] daring operation the world came to know as operation
[00:01:06] alaksa flood or the October 7
[00:01:08] attack.
[00:01:13] It was an operation that shattered the myth of invulnerability
[00:01:17] surrounding the region's most expensive military and intelligence
[00:01:21] apparatus in just few hours. To
[00:01:25] grasp the historical weight of this event, one must revisit the
[00:01:29] of atmosphere proceeding. it. Just weeks before
[00:01:32] Alahsa flood, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
[00:01:36] stood at the United Nations podium and proudly displayed a map
[00:01:40] in which Palestine did not exist, map signaling the
[00:01:44] erasure
[00:01:44] of the Palestinian cause under the shadow
[00:01:47] of the so-called Abraham accords and new trade carters
[00:01:51] such as IMEC. Palestine was supposed to be
[00:01:55] permanently consigned to the archives of history, but the
[00:01:58] resistance proved that This colonial illusion rested on
[00:02:02] fragile
[00:02:03] ground.
[00:02:08] a Mr. Hoseyn CanaNE, a political analyst and former
[00:02:12] senior IRGC commander. مردم
[00:02:15] فلسطین, Palestinian leaders and
[00:02:17] a people came to realize that they had been living in the regime's
[00:02:21] prison for 70 years, under fire from zionist forces
[00:02:25] and settlers. They were under a land, sea and
[00:02:29] air blockade. while the zionists kept killing
[00:02:32] Palestinians, expanding
[00:02:34] a settlements and destroying their farms. Their crimes
[00:02:37] continued in both Gaza and the West Bank, but
[00:02:41] there was a limit to the patience
[00:02:43] of the Palestinian people and the resistance. When they
[00:02:46] saw these crimes continuing, they carried out up. In a
[00:02:50] sense, it was
[00:02:51] of attempt, of
[00:02:52] in a sense, it was attempt to break through the walls of that
[00:02:55] prison.
[00:03:00] How did these fighters advance from stones to missiles, from
[00:03:04] slingshots to Yasin 105 anti-armor
[00:03:08] of systems? Zuari reconnaissance and loitering munitions, and
[00:03:11] indigenous Iyosh 250
[00:03:14] of rockets. The answer lies directly in the role Tehran
[00:03:18] championed over four
[00:03:20] decades. Unlike regional powers that
[00:03:24] reduce the Palestinian cost to diplomatic rhetoric, the
[00:03:29] of of Islamic Republic implemented the strategy.
[00:03:57] of
[00:04:04] a
[00:04:17] of
[00:04:30] stated, no missile was fired in
[00:04:32] of Gaza, no trench was dug, and no fighter took up arms
[00:04:36] without the indelable imprint of Iranian training,
[00:04:40] support,
[00:04:40] in technology and the blood of Iran's murders, particularly
[00:04:44] General Qasim
[00:04:50] of of Sulaimani. Mr. Canani, said that, by the time
[00:04:54] Operation Ala flood began, the Palestinians had already
[00:04:58] a become fully self-rel. Iran has
[00:05:02] always championed the concept of
[00:05:04] self-reliance
[00:05:06] of the resistance groups, how did operation alax of flood
[00:05:11] of demonstrate that self-reliance?
[00:05:42] had achieved the level of self-sufficiency to carry out an operation
[00:05:46] against the heavily armed Israeli
[00:05:48] military.
[00:05:50] a small palestinian group with limited resources
[00:05:53] carried out this operation against an army with extensive
[00:05:57] air, land and naval capabilities, and resistance
[00:06:01] still exists in both Gaza and the West
[00:06:03] Bank.
[00:06:07] report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies
[00:06:11] emphasizes that the reverse engineering of weaponry, the
[00:06:15] transfer of metallurgical knowledge for solid propellant
[00:06:18] missile manufacturing and defensive tunnel network designs
[00:06:22] were the direct result of training and advisor investments by
[00:06:26] Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard core in the Gaza
[00:06:30] Strip.
[00:06:34] Mr. Mehdi Shakibai, an expert on Palestinian affairs said
[00:06:38] Tehran did not stand by idly when the flood began.
[00:07:12] crimes in
[00:07:13] Gaza.
[00:07:17] For years, the confrontation between Tehran and Tel Aviv was
[00:07:20] silent shadow war, fought in the dark corridors of
[00:07:24] espionage and covert strikes. October 7, however,
[00:07:27] brought this gray zone warfare to an
[00:07:30] end.
[00:07:34] Seeing the backbone of its deterrant shattered along the borders of
[00:07:37] Gaza, the Zinist regime launched its biggest gamble escape
[00:07:41] the stalement. made dragging the conflict onto Iranian soil,
[00:07:45] a gamble met with response that formally redrew
[00:07:49] West Asia's deterrance map. following
[00:07:53] October 7th, the indirect and intelligence driven confrontation
[00:07:57] between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Israel inevitably
[00:08:01] escalated into an open and direct
[00:08:03] clash. Tell Aviv, unable to
[00:08:07] contain the resistance in Gaza, resorted to targeted
[00:08:10] assassinations of senior. Iranian military commanders in
[00:08:14] Syria. The turning point in this escalation was
[00:08:18] the air strike on the consular section the Iranian embassy in
[00:08:22] Damascus on April 1st, 2024, a
[00:08:25] flagrant violation of international
[00:08:28] conventions.
[00:08:38] This time Tehran's response abended decades of established rules of
[00:08:41] engagement. For the first time in history, the Islamic
[00:08:45] Republic of Iran launched an open direct strike from its
[00:08:49] sovereign territory against Israel under its official
[00:08:53] flag, epic response known as Operation True
[00:08:56] Promise 1. The launch of over
[00:09:00] 300 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and
[00:09:03] long-range drones not only demonstrated Tehron's iron
[00:09:07] resolve, but also proved that the multi-layered shield such
[00:09:11] as iron dome and
[00:09:42] Israel with its missile and drone
[00:09:45] capabilities. the key to these operations was
[00:09:48] October 7th. before that, we had certain
[00:09:52] considerations and limitations when it came to taking
[00:09:55] action against the
[00:09:56] zionists.
[00:10:00] escalated rapidly
[00:10:01] cilities escalated rapidly. in
[00:10:05] desperation in the early hours of July 31st, just one
[00:10:09] day after the inauguration of Iran's new president.
[00:10:25] September 27th, another atrocity occurred
[00:10:28] as Sayid Hasan Nasrullah, the Secretary general of Lebanese
[00:10:31] Hizbillah, was murdered alongside brigadier general Abbas
[00:10:35] Nilfurushan, IRGC Deputy Commander for
[00:10:38] Operations in the bombardment of Berrut
[00:10:41] Zahiye. Tehran did
[00:10:45] not hesitate.
[00:10:49] On October 1st, operation true promise occupation with
[00:10:53] launch of 200 heavy.
[00:11:25] support for Palestine take a practical form. Iran paid a
[00:11:29] price for that support from the very
[00:11:32] beginning. its allies, including
[00:11:35] Ansarullah and Hizbullah entered the conflict
[00:11:39] while Iran became involved diplomatically. Then
[00:11:42] Israel struck Iran's counsellate in Damascus
[00:11:46] healing several Iranian commanders. That was followed
[00:11:50] by true promise one. After the martidom of
[00:11:53] Said Nasola. Iran
[00:11:57] launched operation through promise to Israel
[00:12:00] then responded and after 37
[00:12:04] years Iranian territory and aerospace
[00:12:08] were once again subjected to enemy
[00:12:10] aggression.
[00:12:14] Satellite imagery and mobile footage captured by millions of
[00:12:18] Palestinians across the west bank and Gaza documented
[00:12:22] Iranian missiles striking with high precision. over the Musad
[00:12:26] headquarters, the glilet intelligence base and the telnav
[00:12:30] and nevatim
[00:12:30] airbases.
[00:12:36] Crowds took to the streets of rafah and the Jabaliah camp,
[00:12:40] prostrating in gratitude as they witness a steadfast Muslim
[00:12:44] power boldly bringing the battle to the heart of Tel Aviv
[00:12:48] after decades of humiliation by compromised
[00:12:51] regional armies. Iran as
[00:13:25] has remained based a logical
[00:13:27] approach. For decades,
[00:13:30] American military, for decades, American military interventions
[00:13:34] across West Asia have left behind countless innocent
[00:13:38] victims and immeasurable human suffering, and the war against
[00:13:42] Iran is no exception. Beyond the headlines and geopolitic,
[00:13:46] beyond the headlines and geopolitical calculations are personal
[00:13:50] tragedies that rarely appear. This is one
[00:13:52] them. This is one them.
[00:13:57] shares a common language, a love beyond duty and
[00:14:01] heart that beats for the fate of children. when you are teacher,
[00:14:05] every morning you leave all your personal pain behind the
[00:14:09] classroom door to create safe world for other people's
[00:14:13] children. in Iran a school in minab, in iran a
[00:14:17] school in minab was experiencing its usual
[00:14:19] calm. fatime shahdadi, an energetic
[00:14:23] sports coach who s the world through the joyful eyes of her students
[00:14:27] and Farid Mokhtari, dignified and kind teacher were
[00:14:31] present amits to children's bustling chatter, but this
[00:14:35] innocent routine suddenly turned into dust and ashes with the
[00:14:38] terrifying roar of missiles, deadly strikes that targeted
[00:14:42] civilians and educational centers during military attacks by Israel
[00:14:46] and the United States, collapsing the school's roof over the
[00:14:50] children and teachers. At the moment the ground shook
[00:14:54] beneath their feet, when rubble and smoke filled the air, survival instinct
[00:14:57] dictated that everyone should look for escape route to
[00:15:01] save their own lives, but for fatame and faide, time stood
[00:15:05] still a different way. in those seconds of terror and
[00:15:08] screams, only one image was etched in the minds these
[00:15:12] women, the children. they ran toward the center the
[00:15:15] fire and danger. emit the cries of children trapped alone in the
[00:15:19] flames, they did not survive to return to their
[00:15:23] classrooms the next day. Both teachers lost their lives
[00:15:27] right there in the school's courtyard and hallways giving
[00:15:30] everything to save the children of
[00:15:32] others. Behind the names these
[00:15:36] two teachers, lay two lives filled with hope and attachment,
[00:15:40] women who lived like millions of others, yet gave meaning to
[00:15:44] self-sacrifice in the face of tragedy. days after the
[00:15:47] disaster, among fighters, few remaining keepsakes, a short will
[00:15:51] was found alongside pair of earrings she had given to her mother before
[00:15:55] the incident, as if her heart sense this journey had no
[00:15:59] return. fatima's family to remembers her with grand dreams and
[00:16:03] heart overflowing with dedication to serve. today,
[00:16:07] no trace to serve today, no trace remains these classrooms
[00:16:11] or the names ofdadi, Faride Mokhtari and
[00:16:15] dozens of other teachers who fell victim to these devastating
[00:16:18] attacks have become symbols of humanity's endurance
[00:16:22] against the violence of war, educators who embrace death to
[00:16:26] gift their students the right to live and
[00:16:29] learn.
[00:16:33] Iran could have chosen political convenience like many other regional
[00:16:36] government. issuing statements while sitting idly by until the
[00:16:40] storm passed, but the point is that paying the price for honor
[00:16:44] is the very essence of Iran's defense
[00:16:47] doctrine.
[00:16:51] The so-called 12-day war and direct confrontation with the
[00:16:55] aggressors demonstrated that Iran's support for Gaza was
[00:16:58] never a fleeting political slogan. It is a blood pact and a
[00:17:02] strategic commitment that does not waver under the heaviest
[00:17:06] threats.
[00:17:37] "the Palestinian issue is an international issue, not
[00:17:41] one limited to Arabs or Muslims. good stay was
[00:17:45] declared as focal point for the unity of
[00:17:48] religions, because Christians, muslims and followers of
[00:17:52] other faiths all have a presence
[00:17:55] there. on October
[00:17:58] 26th, the sinus regime carried out limited air strikes
[00:18:02] against several Iranian air defense sites and industrial
[00:18:06] facilities. Although Iran did not
[00:18:09] respond immediately at that time, public pressure and national
[00:18:13] result for true promise 3 steadily
[00:18:16] mounted. Eventually, in the early hours of June
[00:18:20] 13th, the regime launched a surprise offensive, focusing
[00:18:24] its initial wave
[00:18:25] on assassinating senior Iranian military commanders and key
[00:18:29] defense and nuclear scientists. Yet
[00:18:33] Tel Aviv miscalculated once again, Tehran's command
[00:18:36] structure. proved far more resilient than anticipated and
[00:18:40] within mirror hours the rore of missiles in operation true
[00:18:44] promise 3 tore through the
[00:18:46] sky. Thus the
[00:18:49] 12-day war erupted, a conflict in which Tel Aviv
[00:18:53] concentrated its full strength assassins of civilian and
[00:18:57] military inference of civilian and military inf paralyze
[00:19:01] the aggressors to paralyze the aggressors of precision missiles
[00:19:05] and swarms of precision missiles and swarms of strike
[00:19:08] drones on itself on the brink of total clubs on itself on the
[00:19:12] brink of total clubs event directly, bombing seven
[00:19:16] directly, bombing several Iranian nuclear
[00:19:19] facilities. Iran's crushing
[00:19:22] retaliation established a balance of terror, bringing the
[00:19:26] conflict to a temporary halt. That pause did not
[00:19:30] last long however, and with the resumption of fighting on
[00:19:34] February 28th, 2026, hostilities. flaared
[00:19:37] with unprecedented
[00:19:39] intensity. Veteran geopolitical
[00:19:43] experts emphasized that the root cause of this sweeping
[00:19:46] confrontation was not the peaceful nuclear program, but
[00:19:50] Tehran's unwavering, comprehensive and strategic
[00:19:54] backing the Palestinian cause as the region's preeminent
[00:19:58] independent power. From the
[00:20:01] vantage point of Washington and Tel Aviv, consolidating colonial
[00:20:05] hegemony across West Asia. remains impossible
[00:20:09] unless the will and strength the Islamic Republic of Iran that has set the region
[00:20:12] a blaze for dick and that has set the region a blaze for decades
[00:20:16] only to shatter against the unyielding wall of
[00:20:19] resistance. far from backing down from
[00:20:23] its defense of al-quts under existential threats, the
[00:20:27] Islamic Republic kept it as the cornerstone of its international
[00:20:30] diplomacy. what has been the paying price for
[00:20:34] Iran as result of supporting the...
[00:20:50] Everyone knows that the nuclear issue was Iran had wanted to build the bomb,
[00:20:54] Iran had wanted to build the bomb, it would have used one by
[00:20:57] now. The strategy the west has pursued against Iran
[00:21:01] is the same one it used to bring down the government in
[00:21:04] Baghdad, they fabricated a pretext involving weapons
[00:21:08] of mass destruction. The US itself supported Saddam
[00:21:12] as demonstrated by the eight year war imposed on
[00:21:15] Iran. All western countries stood behind
[00:21:18] Saddam. We want to do to Iran what they did to
[00:21:22] Iraq because Iran wants to change the US-led
[00:21:25] regional
[00:21:26] order. The
[00:21:30] clearest manifestation of this historic firmness emerged in the
[00:21:34] Islamabad memorandum of understanding signed between Iran
[00:21:37] and the United States. The first clause and Iran's
[00:21:41] inviolable red line for reopening and securing maritime
[00:21:45] navigation in the straight of hormos demanded
[00:21:48] immediate and comprehensive ceasefire across all
[00:21:52] resistance fronts, most notably the Gaza
[00:21:55] Strip. This historic document made it
[00:21:58] abundantly clear that the security of Gaza and the lives of
[00:22:02] Palestinian children rank alongside Tehran's
[00:22:05] highest national interest and regional security
[00:22:09] doctrine. Despite Iran insisting
[00:22:13] that it did not have any prior knowledge and no
[00:22:16] involvement in the planning and execution the military.
[00:22:50] part the west has tried to separate Palestine from the Muslim
[00:22:53] world, for Islamic countries, the Palestinian cause
[00:22:57] has remain a source of
[00:22:59] unity.
[00:23:03] For over 40 years, billions of dollars were spent
[00:23:06] broadcasting distorted image of Iran to Arab and
[00:23:10] Muslim brothers, depicting it as an imaginary threat,
[00:23:14] yet the bloodshed on the battlefields of resistance tore through the
[00:23:17] veil of this grand deception.
[00:23:50] financial pressure, but ultimately the goal is to remove the
[00:23:54] cancer from that body. We to have to pay a price to
[00:23:58] confront the zinest regime, which is cancerous
[00:24:01] tumor. Iran's geopolitical view the
[00:24:05] Palestinian cause is that Israel is an enemy that
[00:24:08] poses a constant threat because of its
[00:24:12] expansionist and colonial ambitions reflected in the
[00:24:16] idea of expanding from the Nile today.
[00:24:20] Israel does not intend to remain within its current
[00:24:24] geography, it seeks to expand its territorial
[00:24:28] ambitions day by day. this is considered a
[00:24:32] threat to the Islamic Republic of Iran, its allies and the
[00:24:35] region. that's why Iran is willing to pay all these
[00:24:39] costs to confront its main
[00:24:42] enemy.
[00:24:46] following the victory the Islamic Revolution, Iran's regional and
[00:24:50] regional adversaries, leverage multi-billion dollar media
[00:24:53] empires, stoked sectarian fault lines,
[00:24:57] funded tech fury currents and poured petrol dollars into
[00:25:01] poising Arab public opinion against
[00:25:03] Tehran. Despite the immense sacrifices
[00:25:07] of Iran's sons fighting Daesh and terrorism face to
[00:25:11] face in Iraq and Syria, this disin information
[00:25:14] machinery portrayed the Islamic Republic as a menace to
[00:25:18] regional stability and faith, brazintly framing
[00:25:22] it as a greater threat than the zinist
[00:25:24] coalition. a profound media
[00:25:28] asymmetry prevented the clear message of Iran
[00:25:31] sacrifices from reaching the
[00:25:33] masses. the events of al-aqsa flood
[00:25:37] and the subsequent confrontations, however sent decades
[00:25:41] of propaganda up in
[00:25:43] smoke. the islamic world witnessed
[00:25:46] first hand which governments settle for performative. summit and
[00:25:50] toothless declarations and which nation was willing to
[00:25:54] see its own territory and facility struck and offer
[00:25:58] high-ranking murders rather than abandoned Gaza to the
[00:26:01] Wolves. According to an extensive
[00:26:05] field survey conducted by the Arab Center for research and policy
[00:26:09] studies across 16 Arab countries, more than
[00:26:13] 78% of Arab respondents rated the stance and
[00:26:16] performance of Iran and access of resistance forces in defending
[00:26:20] the people of Gaza as positive, courageous and
[00:26:23] effective. Conversely, more than
[00:26:26] 94% of respondents viewed the role the United States
[00:26:30] and western governments as a entirely negative and complicit in
[00:26:34] war crimes. trust in so-called western arab
[00:26:38] peace initiatives plummed it to its lowest level in modern
[00:26:42] history, falling below 7%.
[00:26:46] 7%. mr.
[00:26:49] kan oni muqadam said that thanks, the palestinian cause
[00:26:53] has not only survived, but has also gained a foothold across the
[00:26:57] western world.است که
[00:27:01] for years. We have presented Palestine as a unifying
[00:27:05] cause for the Muslim world, today it has become a unifying
[00:27:09] cause for all freedom loving people around the
[00:27:12] world. On the streets of London, France and the United
[00:27:16] States, even Christians and Jews are standing up for
[00:27:19] Palestine.
[00:27:23] Today, October 7th is not merely a military engagement
[00:27:27] confined to the Gaza strip. It marks the day that bonds of
[00:27:30] brotherhood and as long that. of brotherhood and Islamic
[00:27:34] unity were reignited. The Islamic
[00:27:37] Republic of Iran has demonstrated that its commitment to the Holy
[00:27:41] City is not a temporary stance, but an article of
[00:27:45] faith steering the geopolitical landscape of West Asia
[00:27:49] toward new sovereign order free from
[00:27:52] occupation.
[00:27:57] That's all for today. Thank you for watching from the whole team. Please do
[00:28:01] join us again same time. Next week to see what else is on,
[00:28:05] until next time, take
[00:28:06] care,
