"just before christmas last year, yoav gallens made it quite clear that they needed a victory in this war in order to survive, so in the middle east, so this is an existential war for israel, it's been evident since october the 7th that they are desperately losing the war in gaza against the relatively a ill equipped palestinian resistance, they have had to evacuate from the northern occupied territories more than 10000." and settlers as far as we know in the contained war against hisbollah in southern lebanon, of and so now they deem it necessary to expand the war, particularly into syria, because we have to remember that this is the fourth in a series of attacks in the last seven days and all of these attacks have been carried out in conjunction with an upsurge in attacks by the terrorist groups. across all the axis,

particularly in the northwest and in central syria, so you know the masks have fallen, people can now see exactly who is the real access of evil in the region, the real access of terrorism, those that are silent about of this appalling attack, people in damascus are still in shock that this has actually happened, i mean this is escalation beyond expectations, so israel wants to... and the war, um, the resistance access has been trying to restrict that expansion, but it remains to be seen if if that remains the status quo. all right, now let me turn to vienna, richard, the uk, just a couple of hours ago summoned the israeli ambassador, and that because three british aid workers got killed in gaza. now when it comes to proportionality, you tell me, what is then iran entitled to do now that it's lost several of its senior... scientists and also

military commanders at the hands of the israele regime. well, the israelis want the iranians to uh turn this into a full-blown war because it would suit them, but i think the the access of resistance, not just iran, but all of the resistance have proven over time that they are not ones to to be tricked or or to fall into traps. although it's understandable that iran's response should be just disproportionate, i think that as as iran have said and they always respond and they will do it at the right time, regarding the the british summoning over the the killing of three aid workers, what's what's interesting is that we have a chorus, we have we have all of these western officials talking about the world central kitchen issue in gaza, which is important, but they're doing that to avoid talking about this.

precedented attack on the embassy, i mean, speaking of proportionality, we we have to talk about this more, because we've never seen a so-called state attacking the embassy of another state in a third state, i mean this is violation of the un charter, it's a violation of the vienna convention, the geneva convention, it's so agregous, it's unprecedented, and the the fact that the british government don't even care enough to summon the israelis over that alone. or any other ambassadors uh that are in in europe or the west to be summoned over this issue is scandalous and it really shows you uh where their priorities lie right now venessa uh some observers uh citing uh the reason for israel uh to do this as an act of desperation and that's mostly uh thanks to the failures it's facing in gaza it's not been able to defeat one single resistance group in palestinian accupied territory. and also

maybe these anti-naho protests on the home turf you host of issues, these really economy and all that, do you share the same view? yeah, absolutely, as i mentioned, you know, uh, israel is not only losing the strategic and military war, it's losing desperately the propaganda war, its entire edifice of propaganda that has propped it up for since its creation as a as illegal um settler colonial estate by the british and then of course it was adopted by the states, the entire anti-semitism trope has has been destroyed, particularly of course by the case in of professor david miller that is now stated very clearly that being anti-zionism is acceptable uh and and you know their entire defense for this genocide that they're committing not only in gaza but in the west

bank, which is based upon an entire series of lies that they produce from october the 7th onwards, that have now gradually been completely debunked, the world is seeing them as they are. "and their economy has taken a massive hit, um, military moral is its lowest, settlers are leaving uh the the the the zionist entity itself, um, and the zionist entity is can only survive with settler support, so if settlers are starting to decide that it's no longer offering them security, they will leave, and then what is left, and also you know, which country..." in its right mind now um is going to be looking at investment in the future in a country that is clearly responsible for genocide um of palestinians across the territories now richard uh why shouldn't they learn a lesson

from their past mistakes like when they uh assassinated iran general suleimani what did they gain the resistance front even got a stronger and got uh you know a boost up in the arm, now they are again killing iranian uh commanders a lower level compared to general sorry the icon of the anti uh terror and anti uh das actually uh in this uh part the world, mean without question they they gained nothing, the resistance got stronger, we can we can see the same pattern with hamas for example when the israelis thought okay if they assassinate sheikh ahmad yasin that this will... uh you know destroy hamas, look at hamas today uh, i mean they they've launched a full-blown war and they can't even defeat them, so imagine with iran how much stronger that is, it's you know the access of resistance has shown over time that uh no matter what actions the israelis and american sake they are losing on the chessboard, they

they simply cannot get around um uh the the failures that they are you know experiencing uh at home so to speak and on the battlefield and this is actually why they assassinate they they lack. shout like like a cat, clowing someone, um, because they are terrorists, deep down, this is who they really are, and it it's not just the the assassination of the high ranking officials here, it's really we have to understand this is attack on iran itself, because that's really what it is, uh, you know, the the israelis have done this these attacks on iran and its sovereignty before, and the same thing with syria, but this is on an unprecedented level, and you, you look at the terror. at el shifa hospital, this is something in my opinion that they were trying to hide um and and distract from, but again we we, it's it's a deeper level here, the israelis are trying to find some kind of victory, they think that they can overcome their failures by assassinating people, and it's not going to happen, and and i should

point something out that they are doing this on multiple levels, we had a terrorist attack in in january in iran, which you know isis supposedly claimed. responsibility for it, we had another isis attack in russia, we had a recent terrorist attack in china, do you do we really think this is a coincidence that there are all these assassinations, general musavi is another one,uri and all these terrorist attacks by isis and al-qaeda are known to have links to america and israel, it's not a coincidence, right now venessa richard mentioned something and what the israeli regime did is actually violation. of iran, it's it means an attack on iran bause sovereign country's diplomatic premises was targeted and hit, it was also the host countries, so it's a violation of international law and conventions, because it was diplomatic premises, both you now the

host country was violated and also iran, so who should hold uh this regime accountable for such action? well, i mean, you know, at at the end of the day, i mean the iranian foreign minister was quite clear that he holds uh washington responsible, washington, the uk and the eu and the allies of israel have continued supplying weapons to israel to conduct and carry out the genocidal campaign in palestine, but they're also supplying the weapons to carry out these kind of assassinations, and it as you've mentioned, it's not the first, particularly on syrian territory, and this was what made it. even more heinous for me and why everybody here is still in shock. this was around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, so 2 hours before ifta, the breaking of first during ramadan, it was packed full of people, the equivalent to oxford circus uh in london, um and as you

said it targets what is effectively a diplomatic uh zone, it was the consular section, which is actually the residence if i understand it of the ambassador, um... general zahidi was there uh under diplomatic immunity, so this is actually a terrorist act. i mean, i consider israel to be a terrorist state anyway for. for all of its other actions, but this was a clear under international law, a terrorist act, and yet there has been the only country calling for emergency session at the un security council is russia, uh, the the west is is saying absolutely nothing, in in response, for example, the us state department spokes person mumbled his way through his usual excuses for israel, and this is poling because this is plunging us into an abbit. of global insecurity, the last time that this kind of act took place was bombing by the us

the chinese embassy in belgrade which killed three chinese diplomats for which the us apologized and said it was a mistake, whether we believe that or not is is by the by, but but this is unbelievable, israel is pushing the the boundaries of all conventions, human rights conventions, geneva conventions, fiena convention. and yet the response imagine if for example russia um had bombedd a us embassy on another country's territory, what would the response be, we would be at war, now exactly. now uh richard venessa mentioned the role of the us, so to what extent could washington be blamed for such acts that would further actually embolden the telaviv regime to perpetrate more such crimes, also let's bear in mind that it was us made fighter just was a 3 five jets performing the strikes against the iran an embassy. the us are

absolutely responsible, it's as if an american pilot uh dropped it himself, the us air force dropped it themselves. there is absolutely no distinction here, and we really need to be clear on this, the united states and israel are one and they attacked iran together, the the the munitions, the payloads, the ordinances, every nut and bolt in that fighter jet and the... missiles that were fired uh were manufactured by american companies, the american, the us government manufactured this and gave an export license and permission to give this to the zionists and then said nothing and continues to say nothing uh after we we have diplomats killed, i mean even if nobody was killed, the the symbolic act of an attacking an embassy uh is is outrageous, it is beyond it is is truly beyond words, i still can't digest it, you know, even after 24 hours, it is so

outrageous and as vanessa pointed out, the israelis, i mean, is there a law that they haven't broken in in any jurisdiction, in under any convention? i don't know at this point, but the americans have to be held responsible, and and a proper government, a real government, a one that cares about international law, a civilized government would have immediately, cut ties with the israelis uh, a long time ago by the way, but after this act, let's say uh, cut ties and cut exports and held emergency session, called for emergency session at the un security council and apologized for for providing these weapons, right? now vanessa, there were multiple countries uh, that and international bodies including united nations for instance, they've all condemned this israeli act of terrorism, except the west, so what is this indicative of? well, i mean, as i said earlier, you, the masks are off. the fact that these u.s. back zionist attacks on

syrian territory, against uh iranian um military, against hezbulah, against these islamic resistance against syrian, uh, arab army forces and national defense forces, because as i said, we shouldn't forget israel carried out the attack in the northeast, israel violated syrian airspace. and targeted east and west of aleppo enabling a terrorist attack on on the western uh aleppo access. um, it carried out attack on the research and development center in jamraya on the morning of this assassination, um, there the fires were burning for for more than six hours and then finally uh this assassination, so in one week, you know, israel has violated, it it's effect. ly declared war multiple times and it's only because of the restraint of the

resistance access that we are not right now a full-blown global war, and the thing is that that israel keeps pushing, it keeps provoking, um, and even though the response from the resistance has been very much deterrant response, which is understandable, um, to, you know, where do we go next, are they going to bomb? the presidential palace, are they going to uh bomb central tehran? mean, this is the thing, to what extent are israel going to push this, to what extent do they want to expand? yeah, i don't think they dare to do that in a way. now uh, richard, tel aviv, what is it doing exactly, is it playing global bully, an outlaw or rogue regime, what is that israel is exactly doing given all the crimes, it's been committing in gaza, this recent ter and iron an embassy, is there anything on the planet that is not violable for this regime? and then they

depict about, they depict iran as a minus to regional security, no, there, there is nothing that the... "zianists will not do, what's funny to me is that today you can be arrested on the streets of london for saying you support hamas or you support the uh palestinian resistance and the the police who arrest you for this would have been killed by the israelis few decades ago because this is the nature of the israelis and they have done this so you know whether we look at the attacks on iran the attacks on on on britain there's a history since the very beginning going back a century. the israelis behaving in this, they have effectively invented modern terrorism and i and i really mean that in the literal uh full sense of of the term, the israelis invented modern terrorism, they they started mailing parcel bombs, letter bombs, planting bombs around london, why wouldn't they bomb their neighbors, this is how they stole the land is it not, and so because iran is the only one helping everyone

to stand up for themselves and defend themselves, they try and go after iran, it's that simple, there's other explanation. so uh richard, we have just one minute, so veneessa, what do you see on the horizon for the west asia region, given all this war mungering by the us and israel? i think um, escalation is almost unavoidable, i mean, as i said inside syria, now we have um increase in the terrorist attack across all axes, really everybody is waiting to see what iran's response will be, and then of course... how uh the zionist will respond to that um so i think we're in abayance but i think we're we're preparing for um further escalation okay uh that's all the time we have for this episode thank you so much venessa billy and damascus richard methurst in vienna and thank you for watching this edition of the spotlight i've been your host
