00:00:00and economic pressure and declared Iran's oil must belong
00:00:04to Iran. The oil industry was nationalized. Two years
00:00:07later, a coup backed directly by the United States and Britain
00:00:11overthrew his government. Mosadeg was removed from power and
00:00:15spent the remaining years of his life in imprisonment and house
00:00:18of arrest, but one demand could no longer be erased. Iran's wealth
00:00:22must remain
00:00:23of in Iranian hands, land,
00:00:26water, oil. But now the issue is... no
00:00:30longer only land, water, or oil, it is something greater
00:00:34than all
00:00:34of them, independence. The question of who has the
00:00:37of right to decide Iran's future. In June, 2025,
00:00:41the United States directly attacked Iran's nuclear facilities,
00:00:45and since February 2026, Iran has been engaged in
00:00:49direct military
00:00:50of confrontation with the United States and Israel. For months,
00:00:54military and economic pressure has continued, but Iran has never
00:00:58been willing to trade its independent. for temporary peace,
00:01:01bows, arrows and horses have given way to launchers,
00:01:05missiles, tanks, drones
00:01:09of and of fighter
00:01:10of jets,
00:01:11of but the blood of arash still runs through Iranian
00:01:15veins, and now let us return to the same question, where did
00:01:19arash's arrow land? the arrow flew more
00:01:22of than a thous kilometers all the way to the banks
00:01:25of the oxis river, arash lost his
00:01:27life, but he did not... allow the enemy to decide
00:01:31Iran's and that
00:01:32of legacy passed from one and that legacy passed from one generation to the
00:01:36next. An Iranian may give his life for his
00:01:40homeland and independence, but he will never surrender their fate to
00:01:44foreign
00:01:44power.
00:02:03a
00:02:04of
00:02:12Good evening, Iran says the United States has failed to achieve its
00:02:15objectives through military confrontation and is now relying on economic
00:02:19pressure to force Terran into submission. In an exclusive
00:02:23interview with Press TV secretary of Iban Supreme National
00:02:27Security Council, Major General Mossenre. has declared that the
00:02:31end
00:02:31of the confrontation will depend on Iran's demands being met.
00:02:35He has also placed the straight of hormos at the center
00:02:37of the crisis, arguing that Washington itself is responsible
00:02:41for the continuing instability surrounding this vital
00:02:45waterway. While the United
00:02:47of States maintains that maritime
00:02:48of traffic must remain open, Iran insists that the situation cannot be
00:02:52separated from the blockade of its ports
00:02:55of and the broader military confrontation. Razay has gone
00:02:59further warning. the renewed American attack could trigger retaliation
00:03:02against major US-linked assets, including data centers
00:03:06and artificial intelligence infrastructure in the region,
00:03:10so is Washington confronting a strategic stalemate and
00:03:14how much leverage does Tabbon now possess? What does the
00:03:18in of struggle over
00:03:22a of Hormus reveal about the balance of power, and are both sides moving towards a
00:03:22of negotiated settlement or
00:03:24of preparing for another round of escalation? Welcome to spotlight, I am
00:03:28Bahman Roy,
00:03:29of allow me to... introduced my
00:03:30guests.
00:03:34Mr. Resoved, the academic researcher and author joining us from
00:03:38Moscot
00:03:43of and Sayid Muaz Shah, international law
00:03:46a expert and geopolitical analyst joining us from
00:03:49Geneva. Very good to have you both gentlemen on
00:03:52this spotlight
00:03:53of show. of I'm going to start the conversation with you,
00:03:56of Mr. Rey, the general said that the United. has suffered
00:04:01of repeated defeats and turned into economic warf
00:04:04now, what strategic objective has
00:04:07of Washington failed to achieve, and how should we measure the outcome of
00:04:11this
00:04:11of confrontation?
00:04:12of we have to look at the history of Iran. Iran
00:04:15has militarily in the last 150, militarily in the last
00:04:19150, maybe even 200
00:04:21of years. The reason being is, even though before the revolution during the time
00:04:25of of of the show, Iran
00:04:26of may have had more at that time modern technology for.
00:04:30for the time they had uh sold to it by the United States, it was still
00:04:34reliant a foreign power to supply military capabilities and even
00:04:37possibly training for its military. now Iran is
00:04:41completely independent, there is this discussion about Iran getting support
00:04:45and assistance from China and Russia, but we can't forget that under the
00:04:49leadership of Imam
00:04:51of Khamaini and then Khamenei, Iran
00:04:53of managed to develop native industrial
00:04:57of complex for creating military equipment. that serves the
00:05:01Iranian people a much
00:05:03of fraction
00:05:03of the price that the arabs, the saudis for example are paying to the Americans
00:05:07and
00:05:08to the Europeans, so Iran,
00:05:10of so general when he speaks... He's speaking from a
00:05:13place where he had experienced the Iraq war with Iran didn't have
00:05:17support or the military equipment, but now Iran has that
00:05:21capability and is projecting that power and has demonstrated it to the United
00:05:25States and the world that it can defend itself, and now United States is not the
00:05:29same power it was in 1990 when it the Persian gulf war when it
00:05:32attacked and took um attacked Saddam to
00:05:36force Saddam out of Kuwait, the US military
00:05:40is completely weakened, it's hallowed out. from the inside, its
00:05:44navy is not the same navy, and so Iran is able to not
00:05:47only stand toe
00:05:48to toe with the United States and all of its allies, we don't forget that it's not just United
00:05:52States, it's Israel, it's the Europeans, is these arab countries all supporting
00:05:56the United States to attack Iran, but it's managed to defeat it
00:05:59militarily, and so then what other card do the United States
00:06:03have is this use of um economic
00:06:07warfare, and just final point, the economic warfare, we must not forget
00:06:11that have has been used again. Iran since 1979, the Islamic
00:06:15revolution, and now it's its height of pressure that it's being
00:06:19placed on Iran, so the United States was not able to
00:06:22through political and internal divisions and
00:06:26riots try to dislodge the Iranian government and system, and it
00:06:30couldn't do it through militarily, now it's trying to put all of its might and
00:06:33pressure, however the issue is the Iran isn't the Iran
00:06:37of 10, 15 years ago where the sanctions would have impacted Iran more, Iran now
00:06:41is more integrated. with China and Russia and other countries and the power
00:06:45the sanctions are also waining because less people want to listen to the
00:06:49United States and follow its dictator. Right, Sad Maz
00:06:52Shah, um, Washington continues to rely on
00:06:56sanctions and now this naval blockade of Iranian ports. Does this
00:07:00shift suggest that military pressure has failed against iran
00:07:02or does Washington believe that economic warfare
00:07:06still can make some change to the strategic balance
00:07:09here? Oh, thank you for having. mean, I think that's a very
00:07:13important question, I think the element of lack of military
00:07:17operation, I think Trump is trying to avoid some sort of mishap
00:07:21that may happen right before the mid-term election, so I think the military
00:07:25escalation is politically motivated to avoid
00:07:29simply because he doesn't want another disaster that's happened, and there's been quite a few
00:07:33disasters militarily by the United States, as we remember
00:07:36that the helicopters and the planes that were lost,
00:07:40so there
00:07:41the that's why I think... they're trying to avoid military escalation, still trying to
00:07:45attempt to put pressure on Iran economically. now to say those
00:07:49economic sanctions or those economic measures are actually having impact
00:07:53is questionable, yes they're having some impact, but
00:07:57is it enough to make a strategic change the Iranian resolve?
00:08:01absolutely not, and i think that's something that Iran has proven itself since the
00:08:04revolution of 1979, the resilience the Iranian
00:08:08people, the Iranian state is much more stronger than just -
00:08:12this type of confrontation for something like this, for
00:08:16something like this, and I think that straight of hormos is
00:08:20illustration of this dilemma, if you if you actually look at it from
00:08:24economic perspective, what actually has happened is
00:08:28yes, maybe perhaps the flow is not entirely
00:08:31ended, but it's not entirely closed either, so one the
00:08:35questions is, but the element the insurance cost, the
00:08:39cost to move that oil products out there. has increased,
00:08:43which is putting domestic pressure and on the markets.
00:08:46now if we go back to the Islamabad mou, what's very important to
00:08:50remember is that it was agreed that Iran would first try to
00:08:54move on it through its element, and it has been talking to the government of
00:08:57oman to set up some sort of corridor to allow transit of pass, so it's been working
00:09:01its part, whereas on the other side, the United States that agreed to
00:09:05release the economic pressures, which unfortunately has not happened, it
00:09:09has only double, so I mean if we look at it independently. "I understand there was a
00:09:13breakdown the MOU, but in principle, what was discussed is
00:09:17that these are going to be the initial steps. Unfortunately, the United States has
00:09:20not and has went back against it, and I don't know what the what the
00:09:24future holds, but if there's going to be any reasonable deal, we have to go back
00:09:28to those words that were exchanged with the mou to try to see if there's some sort of
00:09:32resolution that can come out of this. Right, Mr. Vedudi, um, the
00:09:35Americans keep boasting about the effectiveness their sanctions
00:09:39and the blockade, they're talking about trying even..." try to uh
00:09:43close terrestrial lands um land roads that Iran has with
00:09:47Pakistan and Turkey and and and that sort of stuff, at the same
00:09:50time we keep hearing rumors and speculations about another round
00:09:54of confrontation and another full military aggression by
00:09:58the Americans, the Israelis or both, so what does that tell us about the
00:10:02effectiveness the well,
00:10:05this is just demonst, well this is just demonstrates the United
00:10:09States uh um kind of dead end that they are at.
00:10:12that they are using narrative control to control the
00:10:16um the price of oil and they're also trying to use
00:10:20psychological pressure on Iran and the neighbors of Iran
00:10:23to constantly threaten Iran with another
00:10:27uh start of rounds of kinetic action and
00:10:31war and then this way they trying to demoralize the Iranian
00:10:34citizens and we can see the only country
00:10:37in the world in history that has had over 200 days every single day
00:10:40Iranian since the war has started have come out if you remember the beginning the war during the
00:10:44bombings and come out and in protest of in support
00:10:48the government and they've been doing this every single night ever
00:10:52since the war started on the 28th of February. so they trying
00:10:56to break down this morale that the Iranians have, the 30 million
00:10:59people that signed up to defend their country, and all these other things we've
00:11:03seen on social media that Iranian women are learning how to defend
00:11:07using weapons and men and so forth and so on, so they're trying to demoralize
00:11:11the population, because they know the only way that the United States and its allies can
00:11:15defeat Iran is only when the Iranian people, the citizens, they
00:11:19then decide that they're defeated, right? sayid marz, Iran is
00:11:23tight and end to the conference. to demands including an end to the
00:11:27blockade and the release of Iranian frozen assets, what would a
00:11:31credible agreement need to contain, and which side currently
00:11:35faces greater pressure to compromise?
00:11:39yeah, no, that's a very good point, i think this shows the constructiveness of
00:11:42Iran still in this situation with the whole disaster
00:11:46that happened with Israel and the United States and collapsing the first
00:11:50mou, is that they mentioned these seven points that you that you
00:11:54that you into that in your question, and I think this with Kathy
00:11:58intermediaries and and those elements, the United States has a
00:12:02framework, and I think that's important that Tehran is still offering a
00:12:05framework to come within negotiation, and then at the same
00:12:09time still making its independent efforts through regional
00:12:12partners like Oman to reopen the straight, so it shows constructive
00:12:16ability. On the other side, unfortunately, we are not seeing that, we are
00:12:20seeing rhetoric that still is symbolic of
00:12:24unquestionable. attacking Iran its economic
00:12:26pressure and threats of military even attacks, but we
00:12:30know that that probably the likeliness of that happen before midterm
00:12:34is unlikely, so I think the framework is there, and those seven
00:12:38points that are that were mentioned gives us an idea that even though
00:12:41negotiations have collapsed, there is some elements there for us to
00:12:45build this negotiated settlement on, and that's the only way this is going to
00:12:49end, United States thinks that economic pressure on Iran is
00:12:53going to change the the... dynamics and move towards a different political
00:12:57settlement, that is unlikely and very unlikely that's going to bring
00:13:00any success and if anything I think Trump is more
00:13:04likely to be benefiting from the seasowing oil
00:13:07prices that unfortunately him and some of his close
00:13:11circle have been benefiting from
00:13:13the from the stock market and that evidence is also present so there's that
00:13:17questioning of that as well that perhaps president Trump maybe for
00:13:21other reasons is still keeping this conflict on t
00:13:25because there's still the market to play, perhaps
00:13:29we'll see, but it does have negative domestic impact, global
00:13:33impact, which I think the elections
00:13:35are are going to be paying for it if he doesn't come up with some sort of reasonable solution
00:13:39before that. Mr. Vadadi, general insis that the
00:13:43end the confrontation is in Iran's hands and that resistance
00:13:47will continue until Iran's demands are met, what leverage does
00:13:51Tehran um possess at this moment and how realistic is.
00:13:55this position given the cost to both
00:13:57sides? we know that Iran, one of its major
00:14:01leverages is the straight of hormos and how much it
00:14:05allows oil or any other commodity, resources,
00:14:09gas, so forth to leave that region. we all also know that Iran is
00:14:12capable of supporting the ansarah yemini government, and if it
00:14:16does that, that would devastate the whole region on that side of west
00:14:20Asia, there's no way in the world the saudis could be able to defend against a
00:14:24support. uh from Iran for for the Yemenis on
00:14:28that side, which will close then the Babande, which will prevent
00:14:31even other commodities and shapes to
00:14:34transit through the uh Babel Mandib, red sea and then
00:14:38through the the Suis canal which is
00:14:42joining the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, but then
00:14:46also the other issue is Iran can put great amount of pressure, can
00:14:50put great amount of pressure on the um on
00:14:54the groups that are... in Iraq that I've been set up to
00:14:57cause problems for Iran. Iran can put great pressure on Syria
00:15:01and has warned Syria that if Syria goes towards close to
00:15:04attacking Lebanon or Hizbollah that Iran will
00:15:08attack Syria with missiles. So Iran has this is the
00:15:12military capabilities are vast for Iran that Iran has never used
00:15:16and
00:15:16we know that because many the leadership in Iran stated that they only
00:15:20used 20 to 30% their military capability when they were
00:15:24fighting in the... round in Ramadan war, so that's
00:15:28one aspect of Iran, but then if Iran decides to completely cut any
00:15:31oil coming from that from this region, then instead the small
00:15:35amount that comes out now on the... Iranian control, that would
00:15:39devastate not just the US economy, but the world economy, so Iran
00:15:43has great number of leverage and pressure points that he can use,
00:15:47but it also wants to be smart in how and he uses it, because it doesn't want to
00:15:50hurt and damage his allies such as China, such as Brazil,
00:15:54such as Pakistan or South Africa, so it's trying
00:15:58to play play a long-term smart game of
00:16:02putting pressure on the United States and its allies, but less its own
00:16:06allies. Right said, staying with the economic side of
00:16:09this, well, of course
00:16:11we know that the confrontation has and and andy stalemate after that
00:16:15has disrupted energy markets around the world, raised shipping cost and
00:16:19intensified economic uncertainty, is Washington
00:16:22underestimating the consequences for the global
00:16:25economy, and could the international cost the crisis
00:16:29ultimately strengthen Iran's position in the
00:16:32negotiations, any potential ones? Absolutely,
00:16:36absolutely, I think you really. hit it on the nose there with that point,
00:16:40militarily, as my colleague mentioned, Iran does have capabilities, we do know
00:16:44that, but I think the strongest part of what Iran has
00:16:48is the economic factor, the United States can impose
00:16:51enormous cost on Iran definitely to these sanctions and they are felt, it's not
00:16:55like
00:16:55they aren't, but it cannot escape the economic
00:16:59consequences the instability in the Persian gulf, which is of
00:17:02course started by its own actions with Israel when they
00:17:06started that campaign. "the real test of economic power
00:17:10is not how much damage you can inflict on your adversary,
00:17:14but whether the pressure can produce a sustainable political
00:17:17settlement, that is what Iran has been able to do with the straight of hormos
00:17:20and that has been the achiles hill against the
00:17:24United States,
00:17:26and so when
00:17:26we look at this, Iran does have that, so when general has made that statement,
00:17:30he's absolutely right, the cards are in Iran's hands, cards
00:17:34are in Iran's hands and the straight of hor moves is..." that key
00:17:38even even if some oil flow is happening, what people don't realize
00:17:42is that the insurance cost, the shipping cost that all get added
00:17:45on cost increase energy-wise across the globe, and it
00:17:49impacts not only the United States but Europe and the rest
00:17:53of Asia and the world, and so this is something that Iran was
00:17:57able to demonstrate that really surprised Israel and the United States
00:18:01and to be honest, there isn't any real counter that they
00:18:05have other than negotiated settlement. which Iran has presented
00:18:08a very seven-point program that I think goes
00:18:12back to reflect on the mou that was initially agreed and something that
00:18:16they were negotiating with the United States prior to this conflict, but the
00:18:20problem is that as Iran has stated again and again, as they said
00:18:24in Switzerland as well, we want to see sincere partners who want to
00:18:28negotiate, but not someone who wants to negotiate on the
00:18:31surface and then attack us in the back, and that's unfortunately what's been
00:18:35going on, so the... is that lack of trust that
00:18:39I think Iran is trying to build with partners like Pakistan who are
00:18:43assisting in the process and Qatar and Turkey but the United States
00:18:47has to show that and I think the leadership
00:18:49in the United States is also a little bit split as we know JD Vans
00:18:53has a little bit different stance than some the other people in the cabinet and I think that's
00:18:57something that's problematic where Trump's maybe personal interest or
00:19:01the various parties internally are suggesting to
00:19:04Israel some other alternative that maybe be more destructive for the United
00:19:08States, and so Trump has to ask himself, what's good for
00:19:12the United States, what's good for the mid-term elections and negotiated
00:19:16solution is the only thing that he can go for, unfortunately he's going to have to
00:19:20backtrack some the stuff that he used to say about Obama's deal, but
00:19:24that's the reality that he's going to
00:19:26have to face, because Iran has shown the achiles hill is the straight of
00:19:30hormones, right? Mr. Verdad, the Persian golf states, you're based
00:19:34in one them, they depend on stable maritime trade. and
00:19:37energy exports, yet the confrontation increasingly threatens
00:19:41regional security, how much continued pressure on Iran
00:19:45and instability around Turmus affect the calculations the
00:19:49likes the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and other regional
00:19:52actors? Well, the the thing is with these
00:19:56countries that you mentioned in the Persian Gulf, many them
00:20:00are really there to serve the best interest the United States and its
00:20:04allies and even UK. These countries didn't exist, for example. uae, there
00:20:08was no UAE in 1970, it was a group
00:20:11of tribes that were brought together by the British, and
00:20:15then Qatar were created Qatar and then Kuwait and UAE
00:20:19and these countries, so they don't really have that
00:20:23much say on what happens in the sense that when the United
00:20:27States for example attacked Iran, they not really seek their
00:20:30consent or permission or even consultation, even
00:20:34though all the bases for the United States were in these countries. and they
00:20:38were paying for these bases and these bases were there to defend them, these bases were
00:20:42not able to defend these arab countries, not only that, but if these bases
00:20:46were not there, the arab countries
00:20:47were not been attacked, so if these arab countries. had not enabled the United
00:20:51States to attack Iran, use its locations and its
00:20:54facilities and its you know jet fuels to attack
00:20:58Iran. Iran would have not attacked it, because you
00:21:00can see Oman was not attacked, why? because Oman didn't participate in enabling
00:21:04United States in Israel and its allies to attack Iran, so these countries
00:21:08unfortunately we would have thought logically if you're thinking as
00:21:12an analyst that what has happened demonstrates that
00:21:15it's best that they remove themselves from the conflict between Iran and the United
00:21:19States. ask United States to uh take their bases away,
00:21:23take all their military equipment away so they so they become safe, however
00:21:27what they've done is double down, we can see how Saudi Arabia is doubling
00:21:30down, attacking the Yemenis, the richest arab
00:21:34country is attacking the poorest arab country and and killing civilians
00:21:37and we see the UAE had attacked Sudan and other countries and
00:21:41interfered in Yemen and in Syria and all these Arab countries had interfered in
00:21:45Syria and caused and we can see the end result in Syria and
00:21:49Libya so. "I think they have become so
00:21:52embedded, sorry, so wedded to the United States and its
00:21:55elites that they find it hard to look at the logical outcome the
00:21:59progression their policies that will bring destruction to them, and it's
00:22:03unfortunate that it may be the the case may be that if they continue to
00:22:07support united states in its conflict against Yemen and Iran, it
00:22:11could be to their downfall, kudatas or any other ways
00:22:15that the the countries may crumble from inside,
00:22:18right, sayid." General Risai has warned that American
00:22:22assets like including key data centers and
00:22:26artificial intelligence infrastructure in the region could be targeted
00:22:29if Washington launches another act of aggression against Iran. What does
00:22:33this warning reveal about Iran's um deterrant strategy
00:22:37now? Well
00:22:39I think it's very interesting that you mentioned AI as we know the
00:22:43horrendous incident that happened in Minab school where the
00:22:47girls died and were murdered in the first. the
00:22:51United States aggression and Israel's aggression was result of
00:22:54misuse of AI, and so AI has actually become a
00:22:58component of war, it's not just data center
00:23:02just for business operations or some inocuous
00:23:05activity, it's being used in military, so I think this
00:23:09is a potential military target as well when we look at it from
00:23:13that analysis, so I think Iran targeting AI data
00:23:17centers, if there's verifiable. uh, if there's
00:23:21verificable information that that data was being used in the war
00:23:24against Iran, may act international law perspective on the laws of war,
00:23:28but as a threat,
00:23:29it is very serious threat because the United States military is increasingly
00:23:33reliant on AI to make its decisions, hence the horrendous
00:23:37incident that happened in the early days the war, and this is something that I
00:23:41think should be telling from all of us and so if Iran
00:23:45has threatened that, I think this is within military
00:23:48reason ' At the same time, it is something
00:23:52that's very serious economically as well, I
00:23:54mean if the straight of hor moves is very important for the oil trade, AI and data
00:23:58centers are very important for modern day business, and so this will drive
00:24:02up the cost of data and data storage, and
00:24:06securing that in a place and location that might
00:24:09be like more sensitive now as result of this threat,
00:24:13so that can only build more further economic pressure in for
00:24:16sure, and I'm pretty sure that uh, "the the data
00:24:20that's being used at these data centers are not necessarily, like I said, for
00:24:24commercial purposes only, but they might be mixed in, hence they might fall
00:24:28victim and therefore the cost of running business may go up, which will have a
00:24:32broader impact across, so definitely that's it,
00:24:36it will have only creased dramatic impact, even this the threat of
00:24:39it, but like I said at the end, one the most, but like I said at the
00:24:43end, one the most important things we need to realize, United States economic
00:24:47pressure, if it's not pushing towards a political..." settlement it wants,
00:24:51it's a failure, and that is exactly what's going to happen, but
00:24:54Iran's economic pressure through the strategy the straight of homose
00:24:58is having a global impact, and that shows you the weapons
00:25:02of economic war that Iran has the bigger weapon, it may not
00:25:06have the bigger military, but economically it has the bigger
00:25:09weapon. Right, and Mr. Vadady, final question, please
00:25:13answer briefly, let me end with the central question raised by general
00:25:17Raz interview, what would a sustainable and? to this
00:25:20confrontation look like would it require the lifting of sanctions and the
00:25:24blockade, new security arrangement for the straight
00:25:27of horms and guarantees against renewed aggression, or are the two
00:25:31sides you think still too far apart for a durable
00:25:35settlement? 100%. i think quickly
00:25:38the arrangement or new security arrangement
00:25:41and the safety and security of Iran was paramount to any end
00:25:45result, and also that the United States removes itself from the
00:25:49region. so that there's it's not a threat not just to Iran but to many the
00:25:53other countries in the region and then also that uh United States
00:25:57stops interfering in Iranian affairs and stops blocking Iranian
00:26:01growth, they don't need to... necessarily remove sanctions or they do need to
00:26:05give back Iranian assets, however Iran without the with the
00:26:09sanction has demonstrated it can develop and grow,
00:26:13so I don't think Iran needs the sanctions removed because many people are not abiding by these sanctions
00:26:17anymore. Right, Mr. Radadi, Mr. Say
00:26:20Shah, it was indeed a pleasure to have you on this spotlight and that brings
00:26:24us to the end of this edition, the truth will always come out. Thank you so much for staying with
00:26:28us for this spotlight, I am Bahman Roy.
00:26:46In today's show, we'll be scrutinizing the way in which the British state is
00:26:50abusing the UK's anti-terrorism laws to harass and intimidate
00:26:54journalists and pro-Palestine political activists. This is all
00:26:57about intelligence gathering and community surveillance
00:27:01and I think it's also about sending a
00:27:04signal that we as the british
00:27:07intelligence services, we as SO15 the Metropolitan
00:27:11police, we're keeping an eye on you, many these cases now
00:27:15we've seen have been the result of
00:27:18pressure put on the police or the
00:27:22whole sign groups, identified groups, identified science
00:27:26groups, for Israel, campaign against anti-semitism
00:27:29etc.
00:27:42One morning, the balance of power in west Asia was
00:27:46shattered. October 7th was not simply another day
00:27:50of war. It was the moment decades of assumptions,
00:27:53alliances and security doctrines began to
00:27:57collapse.
00:28:04And as the battlefield expanded from Gaza to the heart the
00:28:07region, one question became impossible to
00:28:10ignore. What was Iran prepared to risk and how
00:28:14far would it go for Palestine? This is the story of
00:28:18Iran October 7 and the confrontation that
00:28:21changed West Asia
00:28:23forever.
