often extends theirs to nine or more carefully calculated minutes. last week we witnessed four and a half minute statement, an essential display of what zionist israel once only heard rumors of, but now sees with its own eyes. this isn't just a confirmation of past warnings. it's a detailed clarification designed for zionist israel, its government, its military and its settler society to fully comprehend. the ongoing military quagm that zionist israel many forces suffer from in gaza is but a small scale example of what could unfold with lebanon. the differences in geography, weaponry, experience and other factors all tilt the scale significantly in favor of the islamic resistance. lebanon, nation renowned for its majestic mountains and valleys, now reveals a new facet of its beauty, one meticulously prepared to defend itself in any large scale conflict. beneath this picturesk terrain lies a military. system where the

resistance seamlessly blends gorilla warfare with conventional military tactics, all tailored to the lebanese reality and the possibility of a prolonged war. a war that might not just involve zionist israel as the soul enemy on the other side. israeli entity officials are now grappling with new level of concern. the unveiling of imad for vast, intricate facility is not just message, it's a paradigm shift in the strategic landscape. as us naval warships approach the region ostensibly to support zinanis israel, their presence is seen through a different lens. to hezbullah, these vessels are not formidable threats, but rather sitting ducks, vulnerable to the precision and power of its arsenal as illustrated in the latest message from imat 4, seasoned israeli entity military experts grasp its implications more than anyone, the awaited yet feared inevitable confrontation. all of this unfolds during a critical period, of designist occupation anxiously awai a

calculated, precise response from the resistance axis. an additional message is clear, should netanyahu and his government choose escalate the war in response to the counterstrike, the lebanese finger on the trigger won't hesitate. the task will take mere minutes from jordan to the red sea. welcome to the media stream, i'm mar osman. the unveiling of hisbullah's imad for facility represent a seismic shifty in the regional balance of power. this expensive and complex facility highlights hisballah's advanced military capabilities and poses of serious challenge to zionist israel's strategic planning. as the israeli regime a grapples with these new realities, the implications for its national security and military strategy are profound, potentially altering the dynamics of the. ongoing

conflict, to discuss this issue with us from beirot is retired lebanese army general elias ferhat, thanks million for being with us, general this morning, how does the revelation of imad for facility shift the strategic balance in the region of west asia and what are its potential implications on zionist israel's military planning and its security in general? hazballah's recent unveiling of the imad 4 facility. follows a series of drone operations by the hoodhood uavs, which provided a clear view of strategic sites across zionist israel. in hudhood one, the drones captured detailed footage of haifa bay, highlighting petrochemical plants, power stations, naval base, the residential complex for officers in kiriat, and the raphael defense industry facility. hudhood 2 focused on the hadera power plant near tel aviv. and

satellite communication facility, while hoodhood 3 provided comprehensive imagery of their amad david airbase. the revelation of the imad 4 facility serves as hazbullah's message designist israel. these are the missiles that will target the sites identified by the hood hood drones. it is now clear that hazballah possesses an advanced facility equipped with cutting edge technology, providing ample space for the movement of vehicles and machinery. footage revealed trucks mounted with missile launch platforms, electric and hydraulic gates and vast areas navigable by motorcycles. the presence of sophisticated computer equipment further indicates that operations within this facility are conducted using the latest technologies. the number of vehicles visible a in the recorded footage, between seven to 10 trucks suggests that this center can launch dozens of missiles towards specific targets upon receiving the order. these ballistic

missiles have range exceeding 300 kilometers and are equipped with warheads weighing around 200 kilograms, capable of causing massive destruction upon impact. moreover, these missiles are precision. guided a capability confirmed in 2022, stating that all of missiles are now fitted with precise guidance systems, well uh general, given the ongoing military challenges that the zianist israeli occupation forces face in gaza, how does the situation in lebanon with the difference in geography and the military capabilities alter the overall calculus of zinanists? in contrast, the gaza front comprises the entire gaza strip, covering area of 360 square kilometers with a coastline of 41 km. its width varies between 5 and 15 kilometers and it is a flat region

with its highest point reaching just 110 meters above sea level. this area has been under siege for 18 years. despite these conditions, hamas, the... brigades and other resistance factions have endured for over 10 months with zionist israel failing to achieve its objectives of eliminating hamas or freeing its captives. the situation in lebanon is markedly different. the front stretches from rasannaura on the mediterranean coast to the shiba farms and the kfarshuba hills on mount herman spanning approximately 110 kilometers. this is a mountainous and open region, not under siege, where hazballah has spent the past two decades establishing fortification. only a small portion of which was revealed in the imad 4 footage. it is likely that there are several other facilities beyond imad 4. the 2006 tank battle in wadi lahjer serves as a constant reminder to the zionist israelis of their colossal failure where 24 tanks were destroyed as they attempted to pass through

this corridor. today, hazballah has advanced significantly in terms of armament, equipment and tactics, making any battle in lebanon fundamentally different from that in gaza. zionist israel cannot realistically pursue the rhetoric often echoed by its leaders about a preemptive strike against hazballah or driving hazballah north of the lathani river. such statements cannot be matched by action given hazballah's formidable strength and the new balance of power on the lebanyese front. well um what do you think will be the impact general given the given the presence of us naval forces at the moment? in the mediterranean who most probably came in uh to defend and protect zinist israel, how do you think that will impact the dynamics between hizbullah and the zinanis israeli enemy, especially considering hisbullah's perception these ships, i mean hisballah looks at them and sees them as a sitting duck, how much of

sitting duck are they? after october 7th, the uss gerald ford. craft carrier was stationed off the spanish coast when it received orders to move to the eastern mediterranean following hazballah's opening of the support front. at that time president putin mocked the americans saying they had deployed an aircraft carrier to confront hazballah. in response to this threat, hazballah's military media released footage of anti-ship missiles signaling that hazballah was prepared to confront even american naval vessels. this occurred at the start of the war. however, on april... 13th, we witnessed general michael korilla, the head of us central command, personally arriving with his team, setting up an operations room linked to all air defense systems in british cyprus, the mediterranean sea, the red sea, the gulf as well as the iron dome and zionist israel, and the french

and german forces in jordan alongside jordanian forces. at that time he organized an air defense operation against drones and missiles launched from iran towards zionist israel today. we are witnessing the third american intervention to save zionist israel, though it remains uncertain whether it will succeed. hazballah and iran are both determined to strike. the naval vessels deployed in the eastern mediterranean are there to protect zianist israel, and there are additional ships in the persian gulf, the red sea, and possibly even the indian ocean, also likely to protect zionist israel from an iranian strike. however, there is a growing military consensus that iran is capable of launching a hypersonic missile. strike against military installations in zionist israel, causing significant damage as a lesson to prevent future aggression against iran or its people. from the american perspective, these forces are deployed to contain the conflict and prevented from escalating into a regional war, which could lead to catastrophic economic consequences

such as the closure of the straight of hormus, and a spike in oil prices that would severely impact domestic consumption in the united states. well we are definitely looking a very tense moment in the history of west asia, i want to thank you very much, retired lebanese army general elias farhat for discussing with us. this new uh imad four facility revealed by hisball. now ladies and gents, please stay tuned because next we are going to talk about the stolled qatar negotiations.

last week's doha cease fire talks involving the us egypt and qatar ended without an agreement on crucial issues such as a ceasefire or a prisoner. exchange, despite optimistic statements from the united states of america and ongoing plans for further negotiations, key palestinian demands, including the withdrawal of zionist forces, remain unmet. as tensions rise and netanyahu's intressigence continues, the path to peace appears increasingly uncertain. more details in the following report. the doha cease fire talks involving the united states. america, egypt and qatar concluded last week without reaching any agreement a sease fire

or prisoner exchange. the three parties issued a statement announcing progress and reduced gaps between the palestinian and israeli entity sides with plans to continue negotiations in cairo this week. it is evident from the reactions and the information available that the american side has been keen to promote a hopeful atmosphere, suggesting that the gaps are narrowing and that an agreement could be reached in the upcoming rounds of talks. in cairo and doha without setting a specific timeline. it appears that the us proposed new document focusing on agreement points in the prisoner exchange file while not addressing palestinian demands for zinist occupation forces withdrawal from the salahuddien philadelphia and netsarim sectors, conditions that contradict biden's declaration. the security council's decision and the document agreed upon by the resistance and proposed by the mediators in july. before the doha meeting, three scenarios were anticipated. partial success, partial failure or complete failure. the scenario of a full agreement was

not considered given netanyahu's prior stance and the awareness of all parties, including israeli entity security institutions like musad, shinbet, and the occupation army, that netanyahu was the sole obstacle to a ceasefire agreement. however, regional developments have increased pressure on netanyahu who participated in the doha talks with a high-level zionist israeli delegation, suggesting a willingness to reach an agreement, but did not amend his obstructive behavior, prolonging the conflict even at the risk of a regional war. since sinus israel's assassination of commander and leader ismail hani, the bombing of the hudaida port and the declaration by iranian, yemani and lebanese resistance leaders of their intent to retaliate, the international community, particularly the united states administration has sensed the gravity of the situation. the us administration fears an outbreak of regional war and its impact on the upcoming. actions: the us feels it has managed to diffuse iranian, lebanese and yemeny anger by

activating its diplomatic and military tools. the strategy aims to give the us administration time to conduct further communications to curb potential iranian, lebanese and yemani responses under the pretext of not disrupting the negotiation process. should attack on zinast israel occur, the us will likely blame iran, lebanon and yemen for escalating the conflict and undermining the cease fire talks, but given the genocide... at hand, the resistance access is not likely to care much who the us blames or how it responds. to discuss this issue with us from beirot is mr. hamzah khansa, journalist at the lebanese daily al akbar and j. political commentator, at pleasure having you with us. mr. khanson, now how do you uh see the recent doha cease fire talks and the us proposal on prisoner exchange deal impacting the overall negotiation process especially? given the lack of progress on key palestinian demands like the withdrawal of designist entity forces from certain areas on the border with

with egypt and in specific sectors, how do you see that negotiation when there's really nothing changing on the ground? greetings to you and to the esteemed viewers, to begin, let's be clear, the negotiations taking place today are not accompanied by sufficient pressure from the united states on zionist israel. pressure that would comple zinast israel to accept at least what was agreed upon in the so-called biden proposal, or at the very least, prevents israel from imposing additional obstructive conditions, as we've seen in the... past couple of days today, the united states is attempting to present narrative of achievement, claiming that it has convinced the zionist israelis to back down on some of their demands, particularly those related to the prisoner exchange, including the classification of palestinian prisoners by quantity and type, and the specific conditions concerning certain individuals hamas insists must be released as

part of the deal. however, no real progress has been made so far, benjamin. netanyahu has introduced new conditions, refusing to agree to the withdrawal of occupation forces from the philadelphia route, netsarim and the rafah crossing, insisting on retaining zianist israeli control and the final say over the return of palestinians to the northern gaza strip. these new demands have so far prevented any breakthrough in the doha negotiations, which have now been postponed to another round starting wednesday in egypt. all of these conditions are being set by netanyahu. with the full knowledge of the american administration. netanyahu is taking full advantage of the broad leeway given to him by the us. indeed, those familiar with the atmosphere and the doha negotiations suggest that the us is pressuring qatar and egypt, not just to persuade hamas to accept this draft, but to force them into agreeing to it. this approach positions the us as a

party to the negotiations against the resistance movement, rather than as neutral mediator that can be relied upon. to bring the negotiations to fruish. it is never an intermediary, they're always by the side of whoever they want their demands to be met, but given netanyahu's known stance and the role of the israeli security institutions in the talks. how significant do you think is the pressure on netanyahu to amend his position, to change his stubborn behavior, and what could be the potential consequences the conflict if it he remains an obstructive?

the access his momentum in retaliating for these crimes, however there has been no substantial pressure on netanyahu to agree or to seize what the americans have termed the last chance. this is evident in benjamin netanyahu's behavior during a press conference held while secretary blincon was on route to zionist israel where netanyahu not only introduced new conditions but also reneged on agreements he had previously accepted in earlier negotiations. this indicates lack of a... american pressure or deterrent to prevent netanyahu from obstructing the process. as we consider the implications if netanyahu's obstructive approach continues, it is easy to conclude that this conflict will persist, and there will be likely responses to zionist israel's aggression. although iran and hazballah have separated the operations in gaza from their promised retaliation for the assassinations,

the likelihood of a response is now closer than ever, despite not being directly tied to these negotiations. this creates a grim outlook for an expanding war or a more intense conflict involving multiple parties. all of this can be attributed to the irresponsible actions of benjamin netanyahu and the broadly way granted to him by the american administration. it is well known that the united states, as a state, a system and institution of governance, regardless of who holds office, could easily exert pressure on zionist israel to stop the war, not just at this stage, but had they truly intended to? they could have done so from the very first moments, given that the ability to do so has existed for the past 10 months, well you mentioned something very important which is the stalling by the us administration, do you think that the access of resistance uh will recognize that the us administration is deliberately stalling the tactics in the faltering talks is attempt to delay their

retaliation because i know that they see that, but how might this awareness influence the atmosphere of positivity and the notion of last chance that was suddenly created from nothing coincided with assessments predicting response from the resistance axis as well as statements from top leaders including the secretary general of leader of the islamic revolution in iran declaring that retaliation was inevitable. consequently, we recently saw the american media and intelligence agencies leaking specific dates and times for when the access might strike. some mentioned august 12th, others august. 10th, and some even pinpointed the strike to happen on monday at 2 a.m. by crafting this atmosphere, they led the public to anticipate a particular type of response from the resistance axis, all while

this round of negotiations was beginning. today, the american narrative is that if the access retaliates against zionist israeli aggression and its crimes, it will bear the responsibility for the continuation of the war and the shedding of palestinian blood. however, the access has not been swayed by this propaganda. situation unfolding with the west proposing to the resistance access that they give these negotiations a chance to achieve sefire as an alternative to a potential retaliation.

however, this time the axis is stance is different. they have separated the negotiations from their response. while some might interpret the delayed retaliation is giving space for these negotiations, it is, in fact not connected to the potential for striking. therefore we now. anticipate that the response could come any moment, and as we've mentioned before, the likelihood of this retaliation increases with every instance of netanyahu's obstinance and obstruction of these negotiations. definitely, so the conclusion is there will be a retaliation, there will be a strong retaliation from both these resistance and from the islamic public of iran against the blatant aggression. performed by the and committed by the zinest israeli entity prolonging the ongoing genocide on gaza. thank you very much from beirot mr. hamza khansa journalist at the lebanese davidbar

and geopolitical commentator for joining us to talk about these pressing matters in our region. thank you very much ladies and gents for watching medie stream right here on press tv do follow us on x and on telegram. we always promise you to get promise you to get the latest uh uh updates right here from west asia uh on press tv's the media stream. we see. next week. now entering its uh uh fourth day, we're looking at some uh

this is forest in today's show we'll be profiling the new leader of hamas after the previous leader ismael hania was assassinated by the... entity on the 31st of july sine ware was of course one of the thousand who are released by the zionists in exchange for a single idf prisoner which is called gilad shelit and so that uh is very much at the forefront of what the strategy was. yahya sinwar is in a totally different category to many other hamas political leaders. he never abandoned the idea of the total liberation of palestine and he's never joined in with the regime change operation in syria, it is

important to call out that the most serious humanitarian catastrophe facing the entire world at this point is the catastrophe facing the sudan. frankly speaking, those who talk about famon must talk about its causes and about the...

as hundreds of people have marched.
