these consul also overseas all the that, that the state of the nuclear negotiations, the nuclear talks that are quite important for iran and also for the world as well . so he had relationship with the head of this, the dad that 2nd the general of this counsel and indirectly, it means that he had at relationship or an access to the office of the supreme lee there as well. so he was and a prominent figure, and he has served as did deputy as deputy a former, a certain that both defense minister with defense ministry is quite important in the companies of very much central. i'm the one of the, at central ministries in iraq. so, and even some in iran, or claiming dad the information or the intelligence that he has per why that to the outsiders of foreign powers. these are one of these are the acquisitions against that exact betty that lead the assassination off come fully manny did the top

general to general off the quotes forces the elite forces of the iranian revolutions who has been assassinated in iraq in baghdad in 2020. when donald trump was the president of the usa and caused a huge ridge in, in, in, in iran, and also the said that the information that he has provided also led the assassination of mos, in fact, was either way overseen. you runs all nuclear activities in the company was disposable. one of the main guys in the company that was responsible developing iran's nuclear program. so these are the accusations, and according to the sources here, he was not an outsider, but one of the main key figures within it within the, the power structure in iran. as we mentioned before, the u. s. and burton both saying that this case has been politically motivated, what is the impact of this domestically and in the rest of the world as well? russell? well, it is definitely going to have her negative impacts over iran's,

of lation with you as a, particularly with the u. k. because he had dual citizenship. however, in iran, just to remember that, that, that iran doesn't accept you citizen said, for iranian, or iranian citizen. so iran, he got him as iranian citizen, and it's going to have an effect on you or terence lisa with london. but that you're on already is having a trouble or the day with that with for us over the cartoons that has been published by charlotte have though, and now iranians are protesting. iranian government has closed our french research institute in the, in the country. so these 2 companies do k at the u. k and, and frost. they are the member of the p 5 plus one companies which are and conducting the, the nuclear negotiations and trying to revive the g cpa, which was signed in 2015. however, the impact of this execution is rather going to be domestic here because as i said, as he's a very much a key figure within euro's poverty structure. many of the people who are familiar

with this case, who are experts here. and they told me that this is closely related to the power struggle with iraq. so different power centers, how are, are, are, are trying to undermine each other, and also by des, acquisition there. but by these execution, they're accusing each other as well as a said. so in iran, the power straw that the promise structure is quite fragmented. some centers that are close and supremely, there, some close to did that there. there that the national on your, did the revolutionary got some close to the president's and the intelligence service as well. so did the struggle between this power centers also is going to be probably re shuffled because as i said, that are already accusations that some people within the state were feeding oliver zach berry with the information vessels that are bringing this up to date from 10.

we hide their identities and don't film landmarks near by the could give their positions away. i want to protect my, my hope veto. they split into small groups in order to avoid artillery, and they infiltrate to residential areas and tree lines. but they also suffer huge casualties without america. military intelligence from our western partners is often not distributed too as quickly enough on the front lines where we needed to target command centers, logistics hobbs and weapons depos. the shelling is getting closer. which means an intensification of shelling in the last few minutes. the soldiers here are telling us that up to 600 russian soldiers are moving into new positions. in a northeast of the city. we climbed the stairs of
