israel is the one that has nuclear weapons and the most powerful air weapons in the region. as

i announced at the beginning of the program, tonight on the occasion of the arrival of the seventh day of sayyed hassan nasrallah's martyrdom , we want to have a look at what the late secretary general of hezbollah accomplished during the 32 years of leadership of this group . with mr. tim anderson , a former professor at the university of sydney, australia, and also the head of the center for counter dominion studies, i first asked mr. anderson about the issue of what position seyyed hassan nasrallah took from his leadership of hezbollah for 32 years. what point did it reach? well yes, as we know,

hasan nastrola became secretary general after the israeli assassination of his predecessor musawi in 1992, and at that time let's remember the israelis announced this is the end of hezbollah because they had killed musawi, and of course since then we saw um, as you say, 32 years leadership of said hasan nastrala uh becoming famous really initially, i guess because of the... double expulsion of the israeli occupation from lebanon first of all in the year 2000 uh and that's a day still in may still celebrated in lebanon as liberation day when the south was liberated and the prison in kiam was uh liberated the prisoners were liberated so um an enormously important day for lebanese independence and then with another um israeli invasion in 2006

it became recognized that here was movement, a militia, short of a state army, which had nevertheless defeated the israeli military, for the first time, the first time in arab army had defeated the israeli military, and of course hasan nasarala gained a great deal of credit to that, but nasrella represented in those three decades, more than three decades, first of all, a commander in chief, but also geostrategist who treated with him as pears, heads of state, heads of nations in

other countries in iran and iraq and and syria, in particular in yemen, had those very close relationships with the palestinian factions and was also a great speaker, a great public speaker, hugely in demand in lebanon, but also recognized internationally, because he was, although he was a deeply religious man and a humble man, nevertheless he was able to speak with humanistic approach which cut through. to people of other cultures, you did not have to be a muslim to understand and appreciate the ethics and the powerful logic, the moral logic of hasan nasaralah, particularly of course in the confrontation with the zionist regime, which has become really, as many have said, a cancer, tumor in the region which causes conflict everywhere, which is really attacking all of the nations of the region and attempting to impose its will on everyone and steal land from everyone, so in that context. became really a great hero in

the global south, i would say, not just in west asia or the arab and muslim world, but in the global south he became a very well recognized hero. resistance leader, since the insurrection in gaza, the support role of hezbollah has become enormously important, at first it was something approaching that of the resistance groups in gaza, but in recent months really it surpassed that in many respects and so we've seen a dozen, sometimes up to 20 operations a day against the israelis drawing their fire from drawing their military away from gaza, giving some relief to the people of gaza and... also in the process effectively depopulating the northern colonies and occupied palestine and this all of this was called the struggle on the way to alk now it passes to someone else to be the leader but nevertheless has a very strong place in history

and the history of the global south and the history of the resistance. but nasrallah's other action was done during his time as the general secretary. it was said that in iraq, syria and yemen , the power of hezbollah was brought to the stage and it led to victory over the terrorist groups and the coalition that invaded yemen . i asked mr. anderson about the role of the hezbollah region during the leadership of seyed hassan nasrallah. very important role particularly in not just in lebanon in the expulsion of israelis which is massive enough in itself, but also in clearing the tuck theory terrorism introduced by the us and its collaborators in the region, its successors and isis or dash, the al qaid style terrorist groups that were

there only to support the divide and rule aims of the anglo-american imperialist basically, they had no roots in genuine muslim society in the... the were artificial creations of course supported by some of the collaborator or comprador arab regimes like saudi arabia , qatar, for example, later's turkey for example, some of the others, but that role in syria was very important, of course, led many of the fights through the mountains, many of the towns and cities have become names of famous battles there where also the... the mata, the iranian commander, mata, khalimani also played a very important role, but all through the mountains, on the syrian side, also on the lebanese side, where finally the enemy was defeated on the lebanese side, in the mountains also by hezbollah, so hezbollah played a very important role in helping

liberate syria from these sectarian terrorist groups and also protecting lebanon from those same groups and went to inspire the with um with the allies um under casim sulaimani in iraq, the formation of new groups under the hashadal shabi, the popular mobilization groups there to defend iraq from those same attack terrorists, and also providing advisory services to the revolution in yemen after 2011, particularly with the rise to power of the coalition in yemen. i was able to observe myself in syria. for example, in more recent years that hezbollah has still played an important advisory role to the syrian army, for example in the mountains, looking over idlib, looking over um, hamar, northwest hamar for example, an advisory role, not uh, i believe also in in

aleppo, in in countryside halab, aleppo, that hesboll had some active role against the entrenched sectarian terrorist groups, nasralla is. a greatly respected figure in all of syria, particularly in western syria. iraq we could say something similar to with the influence of the development of various branches of the hashadal shabi in iraq there that clearly we have a party there called which is also in a sense a replica, a drawing on the legacy of hasan nasara in the organization that he helped form over more than three decades. in the third question and the final part of the conversation, we talked with mr. tim anderson about the fact that the secretary general of hezbollah finally sacrificed his life for the cause of palestine. to the cause of

gaza, to the cause of a pat towards liberating, and in a sense he spoke about it lot, he spoke about because his dear. young men, mainly young men in the field there were falling, more than 300, i believe, fell to the israelis in making that effort to attack the israeli military to draw... the forces away from the genocide they were committing in gaza and to help clear the northern part of occupied palestine for the future liberation, so he himself, it was logical he didn't leave um, he didn't 't leave uh lebanon, he didn't leave beirot, he didn't leave the southern suburb, the day of beirot where he always lived there, eventually the israelis were able to murder him there, but nevertheless it was logical that that his life followed that he wasn't going to run away, was going to live somewhere else, i remember some commentators years ago saying that, oh he got a private plane and gone to some other

country, that never happened, he never deserted, of course he took security precautions, after a period of time he was not making public um uh appearances you for the fear of assassination and so they were done through uh in televised screens and so on for the most part basically so there were security precautions but he stayed with his people he stayed there as aa commander, as a great source of inspiration, as an analyst, as a great public orator, people hung on his every word, really, even the israelis would hang on his every word, because they took him very seriously, they knew that his words were not empty, his words were backed up with deeds, and although in the western world, where i live, in the anglo-american world, effectively videos, even published words of naz abandoned. cases you won't see them in much of the corporate media or the

state media banned in many of the north american social media like the meta group the facebook and instagram and so on you can't read it that now across the world across the region but across the world at the loss of this great man really it's a terrible loss but nevertheless he has created an organization which is set up precisely to um substitute commanders for commanders to keep on going and to maintain the mission that he.

we are ready, we are soldiers, commanders, we are storm al ahrarim, we are free, i am a teacher, program i am a writer, i am a media activist . our leader is alone. it is not and all the people support our leader. today we came to prove our loyalty. i came to prove to the world that

we stand at the foot of our revolution and at the foot of the resistance front . we came to say that from the beginning of the islamic republic, from the beginning of the revolution, we are with the islamic republic, with the revolution, with the leader until the end, to prove that we behind the palestinian nation we are to the last drop of our blood and listen to the command of the leader behind our own province and we will never leave the man alone. in every moment of this special time, which is a sensitive time, we have come to prove that we are behind the province until the last drop of our blood, and we are not afraid of my martyrdom . we have come to support ourselves and our country. let us prove that our leader is the head of abawil, in the name of god, the conquerors of the nile, in the name of god, the conqueror of khyber and oppression.

the people of iran and the entire region made our armed forces know that the people behind them are really tired don't be, i will tell them and i know how hard they are working. we thank them for this action. if you had a conversation with the resistance forces and gaza, lebanon, syria, what would you say , god willing, you will win on the front of infidelity , we have no fear of our lives. we don't have anything , we give up everything so that they can win. we have my soul in our body, god willing, we will resist and support, we will listen to the command of the leader

. fahniyeh allah al-shahadah. this is the end and the sacrifice to allah almighty in the spirit of al-zakiyah, after the great journey of my jihad for the sake of allah almighty. in it is jahadah, umrah, and all strength, and the power of allah, and for the sake of allah, a shining star in the sky of the mujahideen , great, blessed, and successful leaders, bearers of the cause of islam and jihad, and

we are very grateful to the islamic republic of iran for taking away the heartache of all muslims from usurpers, oppressors and oppressors. rizvani bamiani, a member of the afghan shiite ulama council, said that the path of martyrs of resistance continues . syed's way of thinking and his co-thinkers is one school , one thought is one thought. ustad akbari, deputy of the council of afghan shiite scholars.

so and so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so

he went to najaf in iraq and after two years of staying and studying in this city, he returned to lebanon and studied seminary sciences in balbak. seyyed hassan nasrallah came to meet imam khomeini in 1360 when he was only 21 years old, and during this trip he became the imam's representative in shariah affairs in lebanon. he describes the last meeting with imam like this. i went to visit imam and there was no one there. it didn't mean that even seyed ahmed was not there, and i gave him the letter that i had with me. the imam answered the issues that

i shared with him regarding the developments in lebanon at that time, and then he smiled and said to all our brothers. tell them not to worry. my brothers and i are all with you in the islamic republic of iran. we will always be by your side. companion imam's support and attention to resistance and hezbollah in lebanon continued until the last day of his blessed life. seyyed hassan nasrallah came to qom in 1369 to continue his religious studies and studied at the seminary for 2 years . during this time, he learned the persian language well. islamic revolution and the leadership of hazrat imam quds thaboh al-shavid. area we reached the stage of hopelessness and despair due to the departure of seyyed abbas mousavi, seyyed hassan nasrallah

naim qasim and several others from the action movement in the year 1361, which coincided with israel's attacks on southern lebanon , became a prelude to the establishment of hezbollah. seyyed abbas mousavi was elected as the secretary general of hezbollah in lebanon. the soul of imamna al-khamini, may god bless him and grant him peace, as we say, sidi iha al-imam al-qa’id al-sayyid ali khamenei , had not passed a few months from the general secretary of seyyed abbas mousavi, when he was martyred along with his wife and son in a terrorist attack by zionist military helicopters, seyyed hassan nasrallah in 1371 and when he became the general secretary of hizbullah and in his first speech he said: al-ghadah al-karimiyah

, the one who must not be saved, and the one who must not be killed even. the descent of man. hezbollah's activity in the first years was focused on the implementation of martyrdom operations against israeli forces. but gradually this method changed. the forces of this party in response to the assassination of general secretary seyyed abbas mousavi. at that time, hezbollah fired katyusha rockets for the first time towards the zionist settlements in the north of occupied palestine. but the most important victory of hezbollah since the establishment of the resistance in lebanon in 1379 2000 was achieved and the zionist army was forced to leave lebanon after 22 years. seyed hassan is now a hero.

his mercy in the interaction of the family, the families and the clans with each other some of them, o palestinian branches, may allah support you and record my action, o palestinian branches, may god help you. in 2005 , a war broke out between hezbollah and the zionist regime, which was called the tammuz war or the 33 -day war. was known this war started when, contrary to the agreement, the zionist regime did not release the lebanese prisoners. hezbollah captured two zionist soldiers for their release. tehran insisted that i come to explain. at that time, i was the supreme leader in mashhad. i arrived at their service. i reported the incident. my report was a bitter report. that is, my observations show a horizon of victory it didn't work and the war was a completely different war. a

very technological war. he was accurate, he prayed , we prayed, we returned to the meeting, sir, he started talking, he said that this war is not a very hard and intense war, but i think that the victory of this war is like the victory of the trench war, sir, he said that i think that israel will defeat this plan. he had already prepared and wanted to implement this plan in a complete surprise and destroy hizbollah in a surprise . i did not have this information, syed did not have this information emad didn't have any of this information . we went back and went to mr. seyed. i told him the matter . he was very happy. first, i quickly discussed the first issue, that this victory will result in a trench war. there are many difficulties, but there is a great victory. the supreme leader's position was published among all the mujahideen. secondly, this analysis that the enemy had a plan in advance became the main basis of

seyed's operation. in justifying the public opinion and the attention of the public opinion to the enemy's intentions, perhaps nothing was as effective as these words in the spirit of seyyed . god in lebanon, the zionist forces were going on, but after the al-akhsa storm operation and the brutal attacks of the zionist regime against civilians in the gaza strip, there were fierce clashes between hezbollah and the army of love.

after so many martyrs and after so many wounded and my pain, i am completely clear and transparent, no matter how much sacrifice, no matter what the consequences and possibilities are, and no matter what the horizon that the region is going to , i say that the lebanese resistance needs help. and the aid to the people of gaza is stopped.
