palestinian resistance fighters colon the martter of all goods. resistance fighters in lebanon, iraq, yemen and syria regard him as their mentor and an anti-terrorism icon. general qam sulaymani is known to be the main force behind reviving the resistance front in the west asia. region now thanks to his efforts and services, resistance fighters in palestine have bravely fought back the u.s. israely genocidal war for almost three months now, and resistance fighters elsewhere in the region have been retaliating the israeli crimes against palestinians. welcome to the spotlight. i'm berruz najafi and these are our guests in this episode of the program. stop chef, author and west asia expert is joining me from belfast. also with this is
10:07 pm
jamal wakim is a professor of international relations at the lebanese university in beirot. welcome to both of you gentlemen. now beginning with uh sap, but let's start with recalling the role that iran's general suleimani played in reviving resistance groups in different countries in this region, and also the fruits that you would now see in the performance of the resistance fiser today, especially the palestinian ones. well, you see, first of all, i want to send my condolences to the palestinian people and the whole arab and muslims people for losing the martur was assassinated just under an hour ago by this entity in beirot, that can show us they are after always assinating the
10:08 pm
leaders and the thinkers of the resistance access in west age, especially in palestine as well, which is from 19 48 till today the same trend as they they call it as mowing the loan so in in west asia the east leaders especially sulayman along with his brothers and combus understood the importance of the united states of america's domination of the region and the importance of the ziist entity and from the... has for its base which is designist entity to dominate the region and sometimes to free the hands of the united states of america to go to areas like in china or around the world is vital so it's the hub of the importance of the the united
10:09 pm
states of america's power around the world as number one superpower is the control of west asia and that control. along with the unite the the zinist entity, the arab reactionary and islamic reactionary regimes, which you can see along with the arab actionary regimes, there is turkey in nato and stuff and other countries like that, so this is gives the united states of america domination in the resources of that area, the region and the the transportation of that area, so the united states of america from within this area. by dominating the the energy at least market can control the growth of the china so can measure how how competitive china will be against the western empire and from there our
10:10 pm
brothers in the resistance understood how important to build what the i will call it the the rockets wall around this zinus entity to shrink its influence. and to by doing that they will weaken the united states of america, so the united states of america today lives on this region by printing dollar and uh by living for a free from the resources of the area and controlling other states, the the the the intelligence of of leaders like sulaimani uh himself when they innew when they... fighting daesh at the start in you they are fighting the intelligence of the cia and the musad and the others and in that in its own by defeating it in syria and defeating it in iraq and stopping it from go spinning over to libanon and protected the resistance even in libanon
10:11 pm
and palestine. okay uh let me just shift to professor wakim professor sulaimani was moderate but his cause lives on. and the fighters that he trained are given the uh israeli occupation forces the hell in gaza, so isn't it the same in the case of also salih in lebanon, because he may not be there physically anymore, but his comrades will definitely continue his past even in a more determined way, right? well, first i would like to present my condolences to the family of commander salih and to the palestinian people for the martur them of... this brilliant leader, but actually whether it's been the case of or shaheed qasim sulaymani or abdi muhandis or other marters or anyone who indulge in such path, the path of jihad
10:12 pm
against imperialism, i believe that they have been a waiting such destiny, and they consider... the martyrdom as a reward, but despite the the marturdom of highly qualified commanders over the past four or five decades, naming for example, sayid abbaswi, the the former general secretary of hizballah, many other commanders such as imadni, mustafa badraddin or for example, among the palestinian people, the abu ali mustafa for example, and many others of course, this has never obstructed the path of the development of the resistance and the accumulation of expertise. by this resistance and the the the the sharing of expertise among the various resistance groups, whether
10:13 pm
in iraq, lebanon, syria, palestine or yemen, so i believe that in this regard we can see how important was martter qasim sulaimani, general sulaimani, because he has has played a pivotal role in linking all these groups together, making them joint forces, share expertise, coordinate their moves and actions a way that made us see that all these arenas or spheres of resistance, whether in yemen, lebanon, iraq or syria have taken part in the struggle. going on now between the palestinian resistance in gaza and the
10:14 pm
zionist entity, so this is where we see the importance of qasim sulaimani, especially that his task was not only limited to fighting israel, but his task was also to coordinate the efforts of the resistance movements against the zionist us plans to divide and redraw the geopolitical map of the region by enticing trouble and discord in especially in the arab east and by by promoting and sponsoring terrorist groups in lebanon, syria and iraq after the invasion of iraq by by the american forces in 2003, so that's that was the reason why the in the united states that were desperate in in trying to block the... development and further strengthening of the resistance groups reverted to a desperate measure by
10:15 pm
assossinating qasim sulaimani and his companion abu mahdi muhandis. by the way, few days ago i was in iraq a visit and i saw the preparations for the celebration of the fourth martterdom, fourth anniversary of the martterdom of qasim sulaimani and abu mahdi muhandis and i saw and met actually ' some top resistance commanders who were launching operations against the american occupying forces in iraq and actually this reflects how strong have the the the resistance groups in iraq become even after the assassination of martter qasim sulaimani which is... an evidence of his pivotal role and how important he was and still is in passing on
10:16 pm
the expertise to these resistance groups okay now back to belfast this this terrorist attack that happened against the lebanese office in beirot in which the we lost the hamas official mr al aruri uh this is not only assassination it's also attempt against the sovereign nation called lebanon, isn't it? yes, yes, indeed, indeed. was guest in lebanon along with other palestinians in there, and this is definitely attack on the a sovereign state, and this is what the united states of america and the z entity don't respect any sovereign state. didn't respect the sovereignty of iraq when when trump gave the order to assassinate qasim sulaymani and
10:17 pm
they are leaving the airport of baghdad the same thing they when they assassinate palestinian leaders as brother was saying professor wakim they uh from the 50s 60s and they any any leadership in politic. or military or scientific field, they assassinate design entity, we seen this is developed even till the civil project of nuclear project in iran, they were assassinating the... the the the the iranian scientists, the same thing happened in egypt, those guys, the the united states of america and the its tool in the region, the function state, the z entity, they are, they came from north america and the zist entity, the got its gangs from west europe and east europe
10:18 pm
and planting them in the region and they came to loot the region and they act in there as thugs and thiefs and they behave like they are ruling the international arena in the united states of america, but actually what they doing, anybody stand in the face to preserve the resources of the the region as the iranian revolution did when it's broke away from the american hijony with the islamic revolution, the unis of america thought is it's lost the biggest milking cow for them in the in the middle east and their own policeman. was overseeing the the the dominance of the united states of america in in the gulf region and the middle east, the same thing the zianist entity today, when they see commanders likeuri,uri or the martter sulaimani and abu mahdi muhandis built this ring of fire around that zist
10:19 pm
entity to shrink in it and to as the the alaqsa flood. these guys are not that strong, these guys build their power on propaganda and in technology which the intelligence of leaders like sulaymani oruri and the other palestinian fighters brove they can tackle and destroy, they don't want the resistance to get bigger because that means they lose the resources, they lose the power of controlling the oil and gas and the and slaving the... countries and in from that perspective, the united states of america always sending these zinest thugs or its own marines or its own armed forces to attack and to assassinate the leaders who try to break this region free from incubation and domination, now jamal, there are some other
10:20 pm
resistance fighters, they were also inspired by iran general sulaymani, those in yemen. performed anti-israel operations recently, as you're informed, so let's talk about how effectively uh the yemini maritime operations could impact the israely economy that's already in shambles. well, first, general sulaymani has been very important in passing over not only experties, but also the way of manufacturing actually - arms with limited resources by the various resistance groups whether in iraq, lebanon, palestine or yemen. now the yemanies are positioned in a in a very important strategic region that controls the babelmander path and we know that much of
10:21 pm
the trade link coming from from the east towards the west passes through the red sea and the sewis canal starting with with the babil manda path, so the yemanies by targeting the israeli ships and all ships that are carrying israeli cargo have inflicted heavy blow or directed heavy blow ' at the israeli economy, they have paralyzed the ilat port and they have obliged the israelis to divert their trade roots away from babel mandab, which have increased the cost of transportation and with it the all the the cost of or the expenses and the cost
10:22 pm
of ' the commodities, imported commodities, and this affected heavily the the israeli economy, so that's why i believe that the the yemenis role was very important in in obstructing the trade, the israeli trade and in inflicting heavy casualties and damages on the israeli economy in support of the ' palestinians in gaza and the occupied territories, and this is exerting heavy pressure on the israeli economy in a way that is increasing. and mounting the israeli opposition against the government of benyamin netanyahu, so the the yemenis are now affecting the stability of the israeli government in such a way that would help the
10:23 pm
palestinians in gaza in in resisting of course the pressure of the israeli occupation forces on them. okay, and sab shaz, iran's anti-terrorism commander. late general sulaimani uh was also named uh by some us magazines as the world top defense thinker in 2019 and and he used all what he had on his power in terms of a strategy, military training and all that and he just reached out to resistance fight in the region, somewhere else in the region that we did not mention was syria, he also did play a big role there leading the resistance fighters there to get rid of the scarge of daesh terroris, let's have your take on that too. you see today we can find the daesh only confined and these terrorist takfiry groups who are the are made
10:24 pm
and manufactured and trained by the cia and the musad, they are confined to the the the area which is b camal and the ts part of the syrian desert which is these two are the main bases of the united states of america or other areas which is... idlip under the control of course of the turkish and the and other military group supported by the turkish and the united states of america, so this two third of syria were under these groups control before, the the the the the state of syria, the army, syrian army, with the help the hizballah, with the help of the resistance thinking and support like general qasim sulaymani managed to cleanse all of that. we remember the major fights which is hizballah put on the in areas bordering syria lebanon which stopped the spillover of daesh
10:25 pm
to lebanon at the time, because that's what they wanted the united states of america, a ring of these takfiri groups around the zinis entity, so they will push the resistance away from there, they failed today the resistant axis controlling from straight of hormos to... mund to palestine, to syria, to iraq, they are bending the ring around this entity and the united states of america's interest in the region. okay, that's all the time we have, gentlemen, let me thank our guest, saab shas, author and west asia uh expert in belfast, jamal wakim, professor of international relations of the lebanese university in beirot, and thank you for watching this episode of the news uh of the spotlight with me your host behruz, i'll see you next time. حضور شما دفاع
