[00:02:07] Welcome everyone, earlier today
[00:02:09] of Iranians held nationwide rallies on the occasion
[00:02:11] of the
[00:02:12] in national day of fight against global arrogance, arrogance defined as
[00:02:16] having or revealing an
[00:02:17] of exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities, a fight Iran has been
[00:02:21] embattled with for nearly a century yet with much more vigor since victor
[00:02:25] victory that is
[00:02:26] of the Islamic Revolution. Iran's leader say mush Khamenei.
[00:02:30] said you wants control over the straight

[00:02:34] in recent
[00:02:34] in aggression amounts for impressive perseverance against global
[00:02:37] arrogance. day is marked on the anniversary
[00:02:40] of the seizure
[00:02:40] of the US embassy by Iranian students back in November of
[00:02:43] 1979 and this year's nationwide rallies come on the heels of a
[00:02:47] historic defeat for the US Republican Party and President Donald Trump
[00:02:51] losing both the House of Representatives and the senate while moving more aggression against
[00:02:55] Iran. national day in the fight against global arrogance and how it
[00:02:59] ties into the imposed war on Iran and US mid-term election out of
[00:03:03] home
[00:03:05] of Iran
[00:03:10] and
[00:03:10] of m human rights activist joining us from Houston
[00:03:13] Texas hello gentlemen and pleasure to have you uh
[00:03:17] both with us Somer
[00:03:18] I guess we'll start with you and Iran your national thoughts on Iran
[00:03:23] of uh suffering from hegemonica building for over a half a
[00:03:26] century until making a conscious decision to stand against and
[00:03:30] fight that arrogantuh bullying for the last 47
[00:03:34] of years. yes, thank you for
[00:03:36] of having me on the program, yes for 47 years the Islamic Republic
[00:03:40] of Iran have been
[00:03:41] of standing up against the aggression and the tyrany and
[00:03:45] oppression
[00:03:46] of the arrogant powers, the US hijomany which has ruled
[00:03:50] over the world for so long and has
[00:03:54] of bullied countries everywhere it goes, has
[00:03:57] of found of its opponent now, an opponent. that has stood
[00:04:01] the test of time, an opponent that has stood the aggression and the
[00:04:04] power
[00:04:05] of the American military navy and air force, and
[00:04:09] they stood strongly against the recent attacks
[00:04:12] that the wars that have been
[00:04:14] enforced or imposed up upon the Islamic Republic of
[00:04:18] Iran, and as you
[00:04:21] of can see, the only people that have lost in this
[00:04:25] war are the are the ones who have started it, the
[00:04:29] midterm election. in the United
[00:04:31] of States clearly show the resentment and the disapproval
[00:04:36] of of the people, Trump has the lowest possible
[00:04:39] approval rating, historically speaking, it has been
[00:04:43] extremely low, nobody expected him to win, and as the
[00:04:47] western media has been reported, waves and
[00:04:50] tsunamis and the waves of
[00:04:54] blue have taken over the congress and the
[00:04:57] senate, so indeed... "it's not
[00:05:00] even the democrats who have won the congress, it's the
[00:05:04] Islamic Republic of Iran that has won, not just the
[00:05:08] battle on the ground and not just the battle that involves..."
[00:05:12] military and defensive missiles, but it has
[00:05:16] also won over the people in the United States of
[00:05:19] America and across the globe, the people have now
[00:05:23] seen what America stands for, as the Canadian
[00:05:26] president has said, or prime minister rather, my apologies, he
[00:05:30] said that Trump's signature is written in
[00:05:33] pencil, um, he is literally
[00:05:37] lost uh everybody's trust, the
[00:05:41] entire not just himself, as a person, but rather the
[00:05:44] entire uh power that the United States of America
[00:05:47] was is now nothing but a shell. back to
[00:05:51] you. all right, thank you, summer mov, thanks for your patience and welcome to
[00:05:54] our spotlight here. mosen, now your opening take on
[00:05:58] iran annual rally's marking national day the fight against
[00:06:02] global uh arrogance Iran's leader in his directive to commanders earlier this
[00:06:05] week, sayid said
[00:06:09] that if the country is attacked again, it has... respond
[00:06:13] immediately, effectively, with no geographical limits and
[00:06:16] every uh target worldwide belonging to the US and the
[00:06:20] zinessa entity is legitimate target, a fight Iran is
[00:06:24] very much in as we speak, well
[00:06:27] I think Imam Mustafa Khamnai's
[00:06:30] remarks, his revolutionary
[00:06:33] remarks um the
[00:06:36] takeover of the American embassy that was which
[00:06:40] was led by the students, also really
[00:06:44] mirrors this political ideology where you really want to
[00:06:47] combat and fight the enemy instead of
[00:06:50] compromising a country that had just that had
[00:06:54] just had revolution for students of that of
[00:06:58] that of that country which is the Islamic Republic of Iran to go
[00:07:01] and take over the US embassy which was
[00:07:05] deemed as the den of spies by Imam Khumini was
[00:07:09] revolutionary act and important act and the st by Imam
[00:07:13] Mustafa Khamnai, also it's revolutionary statement
[00:07:16] where no matter what, he is saying that the
[00:07:20] deterrance should escalate, it shouldn't, it shouldn't
[00:07:24] decline any way whatsoever, and that the only
[00:07:27] way that the American empire will
[00:07:31] will will sit down and will be forced into
[00:07:35] compromise and will stop its escalatory military
[00:07:39] behavior in west and his team which has
[00:07:42] positioned the Islamic Republic of Iran
[00:07:46] a a place where now it seems to
[00:07:50] be leading um policy
[00:07:54] making within West Asia and I
[00:07:57] think and evidence to that fact
[00:08:00] is the the Makka
[00:08:03] coalition leaders from Turkey Pakistan and
[00:08:07] Saudi Arabia visiting the Islamic Republic of
[00:08:10] Iran um and the fact,
[00:08:13] yeah, now the fact
[00:08:16] that I was just agreeing with you, I said, go ahead, continue, right, and and the
[00:08:20] fact that like our like our brother was also saying that
[00:08:23] Trump has has now pretty much
[00:08:27] lost his power in the Senate and Congress,
[00:08:31] but also let's not forget that the
[00:08:34] elections, the will the people, the masses who are in
[00:08:37] support of no war with Iran, who are in support
[00:08:40] for a free Palestine, for instance,
[00:08:44] this awareness is because the media
[00:08:47] strategy the access of resistance who made
[00:08:51] ghaza unavoidable the the
[00:08:53] and actions US military empire and the zionist
[00:08:57] and and zionist chronies, their actions
[00:09:00] unavoidable, they literally recorded a
[00:09:04] genocide live for the world to see, and the
[00:09:07] devastation has been to such an extent that how
[00:09:11] can the world remain? but yet the American empire plays its
[00:09:15] games, the American establishment plays its games and now
[00:09:18] it is yet again placing hope in
[00:09:21] that that bipartisan system within the US,
[00:09:25] the if democratic leader is yes, thank
[00:09:29] you, summer, how do you gauge Iran's defense, we're
[00:09:33] talking about the fight against global arrogance, how do you the fight Iran's
[00:09:36] fighting since June of last year till today in the fight, not the the decades
[00:09:40] long fight but this immediate. impose rounds of aggression against the country, how
[00:09:44] do you gauge Iran's standing in the recent imposed
[00:09:48] fights that that it's had deter itself and stand and defend itself
[00:09:51] against? well, before I answer that question,
[00:09:55] just a comment as what
[00:09:57] the other speaker said with regards to the Americans compromising, I
[00:10:01] think we're well beyond that now, it's not just about the Americans compromising,
[00:10:04] it's about the Americans now simply accepting that the Islamic Republic of
[00:10:08] Iran is now a superpower and that they have to accept Iran
[00:10:13] in West Asia as power to be dealt with, Saudi
[00:10:17] Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, all are in
[00:10:21] need of Iran and to have to deal with Iran in terms.
[00:10:25] of using the straight of hormones, Saudi Arabia thought that it could use the red sea, it
[00:10:28] can't now, so it's not just matter matter of compromise, it's
[00:10:32] more matter the Americans are going to have to
[00:10:36] retreat, and the result is the answer to your
[00:10:40] question that it's not a compromise, it is a complete retreat,
[00:10:44] it is a complete loss to the Americans, there they have
[00:10:48] absolutely no trust internationally, they have no trust
[00:10:51] inside internally in the...
[00:10:55] american
[00:10:56] um amongst the voter base and so how Iran has fought this
[00:11:00] war has been as some have said in foreign policy
[00:11:04] magazine like a 5d or 6d chess
[00:11:08] game, very strategic, very
[00:11:10] patient, and in complete
[00:11:14] control the story and the narrative, they have been
[00:11:17] able to control their responses, their
[00:11:21] retatory responses escalating from eye for eye effect.
[00:11:25] i for i plus one and then increasing from that and now what
[00:11:29] they are saying is that there are, as you mentioned earlier, there are no limits
[00:11:33] anymore, there are no geographical limits, and the assets,
[00:11:37] whether they be material or non-material enemy assets will be
[00:11:41] targeted, which could mean cybertax, it could mean internet
[00:11:45] cables,
[00:11:45] it could mean infrastructure, it could mean us spaces, it could mean
[00:11:49] many other things also, it leaves the door open, it's
[00:11:53] quite ambiguous which leaves the United States of
[00:11:56] America and the Zionist entity uh uncertain as to
[00:12:00] how to proceed and that's why they've been so reluctant in
[00:12:04] proceeding with a further attack so far, back
[00:12:07] to you. Okay,
[00:12:09] now we want to talk really quick about a US mid-term um elections,
[00:12:13] mosen, I want to put the first question to you, we saw a tweet earlier today, we
[00:12:17] saw we heard Donald Trump last night saying he felt like the defeat losing both
[00:12:21] the house of representatives and the said it has directly to do with.
[00:12:25] the objectives against uh Iran uh JD uh Vance
[00:12:28] US vice president earlier tweeted the same exact thing that we lost both the house
[00:12:32] and senate as a result the war on Iran uh how do you
[00:12:36] gauge their actual buse up until now and
[00:12:40] yet now we hearing nothing but concessions from the both them
[00:12:43] conceding defeat
[00:12:44] actually well
[00:12:48] yes American foreign policy has elements of
[00:12:51] continuity and that extend beyond individual.
[00:12:55] was the presidents or even political parties, so this strategic
[00:12:59] relationship that they've had with Israel, um, and
[00:13:02] also then the coming to
[00:13:06] Iran's strategy in dealing with the US through the state of
[00:13:10] hormones and through their military genius, we are now
[00:13:14] seeing that the that Trump's
[00:13:18] establishment that Trump's government has to great
[00:13:22] extent conceided to the fact that the Islamic Republic. has
[00:13:25] one, um, they have considered and and also
[00:13:29] the results these elections have also permanently damage
[00:13:33] not just Trump but the legitimacy the
[00:13:36] Republicans, but I think the real question is is
[00:13:39] if now that we see that the Democrats will take over the
[00:13:43] Senate and the Congress, will there be a change in American
[00:13:47] foreign policy, and and history tells us that
[00:13:51] there will never be that change, we can have... muslim
[00:13:55] senators, muslim congressman in the US senate and congress
[00:13:59] and yet their foreign policy we don't see a
[00:14:02] shift to be able to gauge
[00:14:06] their their new voter base with gen
[00:14:10] z with the newer generation for instance, we will see them
[00:14:14] bringing in faces such as Abdul Sayyad and other so
[00:14:17] callalled Muslim leaders through the democratic food
[00:14:21] chain, but yet we will see that they will still condemn the... actions
[00:14:25] of resistance, we will see them condemning the Islamic
[00:14:29] Republic of Iran toing that the narrative
[00:14:32] of Iran's internal enemies for instance,
[00:14:36] and so this this this entire system, this
[00:14:40] bipartisant system is meant to serve the
[00:14:43] FFC class, and so these words that are coming out these
[00:14:47] politicians at this point, it doesn't really matter, what really matters is
[00:14:51] the fact that the American military military has been defeated.
[00:14:56] in spite their bases in the region, the Islamic Republic of
[00:15:00] Iran controls the state of hormos, as the brother was
[00:15:03] saying that they have become a super power
[00:15:07] within the region, this is a sanctioned Iran, this is an
[00:15:10] Iran that has been oppressed, has been attacked by the rionist
[00:15:14] regime, by the Americans, it is an Iran that
[00:15:18] lost its leadership ver recently, and
[00:15:22] yet
[00:15:22] it is a country that is now coming out top. because of its
[00:15:26] indigenous capabilities of sustaining
[00:15:29] itself, and so the American empire needs to
[00:15:33] now realize that it's time in West
[00:15:37] Asia. is now over and we hope that this
[00:15:40] new government, this new government um
[00:15:44] realizes that fact and pushes a
[00:15:47] withdrawal of American military from the
[00:15:51] entire region, we've seen them go away from Afghanistan and
[00:15:54] Iraq, but the the military needs to now
[00:15:58] leave West Asia so that west Asia can
[00:16:02] reach its entire potential through sovereign
[00:16:06] through sovereign leaders. and led by the Islamic Republic which
[00:16:10] we are now as material fact witnessing
[00:16:13] today. Somer, you want to also weigh in on
[00:16:17] that, how do you see from the Zionist entities
[00:16:21] elections for the connessit in occupied of Palestine all the
[00:16:25] way to US, mid-terms, two men, Netanyahu and
[00:16:29] Trump, how do you feel they faired, how much do you think Iran and
[00:16:32] failures, the fact they've demonized the country for for
[00:16:36] Netanyahu's case? for decades, for Trump's case, for
[00:16:39] near the A-decade, but nevertheless, they've both
[00:16:43] suffered more, more so for Trump, a historical defeat for
[00:16:47] Trump, the jury still out on Netanyahu's fate, but how do you
[00:16:51] see, but neither man really saw any anything even resemblance
[00:16:55] of victory or anything positive or even silver silver lining for that
[00:16:59] matter, your your your thought on this, yes
[00:17:02] indeed, humiliation comes in many different forms and this is
[00:17:06] very hum. creating time for both them,
[00:17:09] Netanyahu, his um prime
[00:17:13] ministership is up in the air, he's now uh claiming
[00:17:17] that you know people are trying to steal the
[00:17:20] votes, trump, the defeat that he has had
[00:17:23] now is completely historic, I mean the the democrat
[00:17:27] needed 51 seats, they've got now 54 and counting, so it's it's
[00:17:31] completely humiliating for
[00:17:34] them, definitely um
[00:17:38] "Iran has come top on all angles here, and with regards
[00:17:41] even the strategies, are are we expecting a change with this? for
[00:17:45] example, it would be naive for us to suggest that because the
[00:17:49] congress has changed hands and the democrats uh have taken over
[00:17:53] both congress and the senate that you know there's going to be a change of policy, no there is not
[00:17:57] going to be a change of policy uh, they have been weakened
[00:18:01] significantly and their hands are going to be a little bit more tied with regards to
[00:18:05] the Iran war, but it's they're going..." be all moving in the same
[00:18:09] direction and as my fellow speaker also mentioned with
[00:18:12] regards to el sayid, even if we expect you people such as
[00:18:16] himself to uh be voted up, mean when asked
[00:18:20] on fox news what he thought about the martidom of imam
[00:18:24] Ali Khamenei, he said he was happy about it, this is the kind of people that
[00:18:28] we're dealing with, so it's you know
[00:18:31] we okay, it seems like we may have lost
[00:18:35] summer hakim temporarily there - I'm going to come back to you
[00:18:38] really quick, exit poll show 74% of voters called a
[00:18:42] war on Iran crucial or major factor in their vote, while
[00:18:46] 62% said uh using force was a wrong uh
[00:18:50] decision uh mosen uh obviously it's not the only concern
[00:18:54] also we have to be fair us voters are out there because there's a cost of living crisis
[00:18:57] there's a housing crisis you very well know a runaway inflation
[00:19:01] fuel groceries and few of those actually have to do
[00:19:05] with strator hormos and the imposed war on. Iran, you very well know, but
[00:19:08] nevertheless not everything, let's be fair there, not everything yet, my question
[00:19:12] to you, and this goes back exactly what Summer just said, now that
[00:19:16] Trump knows he doesn't have the people's mandate for more aggression against Iran and that
[00:19:20] he never really
[00:19:20] did in the first place, how much do you think it has bearing on his decisions
[00:19:24] moving ahead? Well,
[00:19:28] um, I don't think American presidents or the senate the Congress is a true
[00:19:32] representation the people's will, if that was the case
[00:19:36] then they would have. "they wouldn't
[00:19:38] have ever gone to war in Iraq or in Vietnam for instance, all these
[00:19:42] wars have been decise deciding factors for
[00:19:46] for presidents, um, American presidents, they they
[00:19:50] they work to serve um their
[00:19:53] lobbyists, those who have paid for their for their governments and their
[00:19:57] campaign, so when Donald Trump through Jared Kuschner and through his own self
[00:20:01] interest, obviously it is now material fact that
[00:20:05] he had an interest ' a personal interest
[00:20:08] in the war with Iran, he has a personal
[00:20:12] interest in the genocide that was committed by the Zionist
[00:20:16] regime in Ghazza. Having said that, the
[00:20:20] votes do give us a deeper understanding
[00:20:24] of what the where the American people stand. The American
[00:20:27] people don't want war, the American people do not
[00:20:31] war, do not want the involvement of
[00:20:35] US military in for. works, they do not
[00:20:39] want that, but why? because the healthcare sector, the
[00:20:43] education sector, the housing sector, it's in, it's in
[00:20:47] extreme thermold here in the US, and I think the... the
[00:20:50] the major factor why people understand how this war will
[00:20:54] be a failure is because the simple fact that Trump
[00:20:58] ran his camp ran an anti-war campaign
[00:21:02] to be elected into the presidency and is doing the
[00:21:05] exact opposite of what he had
[00:21:08] promised the control on the state of hormose by the
[00:21:11] Islamic Republic and the fact that the
[00:21:15] Americans are taken a direct hit from those actions
[00:21:19] by the islamic republic is also why they understand
[00:21:23] thank you almost we
[00:21:24] have less than a minute left uh summer i really wanted buse you started on this and then
[00:21:27] your thing for your image froze for second the US public they're
[00:21:31] obviously through the vote they've demonstrated they are not sold or perhaps never
[00:21:35] sold on the war with Iran so does it matter to a now
[00:21:39] politically weaker US president in his decision making going
[00:21:42] ahead look he's weaker he doesn't have the
[00:21:46] mandate uh but he's a gambler and he needs to pull that leave.
[00:21:50] just one more time to try to get a win, he's going to try his luck, I
[00:21:54] don't believe that he's going to be affected very much, it's going to be very much
[00:21:57] harder for him, but he wants to come out to not
[00:22:01] be a carter, as he puts it, he doesn't want to
[00:22:04] be, you know, the loser president the United States of America, the
[00:22:08] 47th president being the loser, so he's trying to
[00:22:12] come out victor, he may attack
[00:22:15] regardless, to try to claim that he is victorious
[00:22:18] and he will... fail once again, all right, gentlemen, pleasure to have you
[00:22:22] both on, thank you for joining us here on our spotlight program hakim joining us from
[00:22:26] home, Iran and move joining us out of houston, texas in the
[00:22:30] states of viewers, this brings us to the conclusion of another segment of your spotlight
[00:22:34] program, hope you enjoyed it and stay safe, bye
[00:22:36] bye.
[00:23:18] In November 1985 baby girl was born into an
