in the name of god, the most compassionate, the most merciful, we belong to allah, and we shall return to him, dear iranian nation, brave and prominent palestinian leader ismail hania died at down last night. and the great resistant front is morning, the criminal and terrorist zionist regime murdered our dear guest in iran and made us mourn, but the regime also prepared the ground for a harsh punishment for itself. for years, murder geneah spent his precious life for the sake of honorable struggle. he was ready for murderdom and even sacrificed his children and loved ones in this path. he was not afraid of being a murder. in the path of god

and saving god's servants, but we considered our duty to avenge his blood for this bitter incident that happened in the territory of the islamic republic. i offer my condolences to the islamic ummah, to the resistance front, to the brave and proud nation of palestine, and especially to the family and survivors of marder hania, and one of his companions was murdered with them, and i pray to god almighty to... raise their ranks. said ali khamenei, july 31st, 2024. we beat farewell to ismail hanny, a martyr and great leader who led the alexa flood operation against the israeli regime. by committing this genocide, the zionist regime showed to the whole world how cruel and evil it is. the whole world must try to uproot this cancer. today iranians offer prayer. prayers for

hania and tomorrow funeral prayers will be held elsewhere, including katar, where he will be laid to rest. people's love for hania indicates that his struggle was the cause of unity among the islamic ummah as well as resistance movements for the liberation of palestine. today we emphasize to the islamic ummah and to the world that we will keep the slogan of hany alive, which was non-recognition of the regime. apart from not recognizing israel, we will continue to pursue its crimes in order to uproot the zionist regime from the land of palestine and from holy al-quds. we emphasize that hania's assassination will not break our determination to strive for the liberation of palestine. you must know these are reactions of helplessness on the battlefield. it does not indicate the fighting power of this criminal. and the regime makes a strategic

mistake thinking that the martidom of fighters and important figures will have an impact on the resistance. as the leader of the islamic revolution said there of hit and run is over and we have shown this in practice. we are aware of and we know that all these incidents are the responsibility of the criminal us. nothing happens without the coordinational support of criminal america, even though the united states claimed in a statement through its media that it was not informed or involved, but we know and are sure that what is over and what is covert. is in the hands of the us and under his guidance. it is our duty to respond to this crime at the right time and place, as it was bitter moment for us to see that our guest was assassinated in our country. where is the security council? where are human rights? we warn the zionists, as our leaders said before, we will avenge the blood of hanian. the former political bureau chief of the palestinian resistance movement hamas. was

born in a refugee camp near gaza city in january 29th, 1962. he joined the resistance movement in the late 1980s, during the first entafada. as the movement gradually grew powerful, hanyor rose through the ranks, being appointed part of the group's collective leadership in 2004. hania was appointed palestinian prime minister in 2006 after hamas won the most seats in the national palestinian elections held in the same year by 20. 17, he had become the head of the hamas resistance movement. han left the besiged gaza strip in 2019 and lived in exile in qatar. over the years he participated in peace talks with different world leaders. during the ongoing israeli genocidal war in gaza, he has spared no efforts to clinch a peace deal to end the blotched of palestinians. despite tens of in sessions and communications via our mediators. and his enemy until this point has

not agreed to a cease fire in gaza. all they want is the return of the captives so that they can continue the war on gaza, which cannot happen. they want hamas and the resistance. to agree to maps referring to the deployment of the israeli army as if to say we are legitimizing the occupation of this trip or part of this trip, which is almost impossible to happen, zionist forces must completely withdraw from the gaza strip. in april, israeli air strikes kill three of hannah's sons and four of his grandchildren. at time, hannah, who was based in qatar, insisted that the massacre of his loved ones would not affect the ongoing cispher talks. whoever thinks that by targeting my children during the negotiation talks and before a deal is agreed upon that they will force hamas to back down is demands is in delusion. hania was in the iranian capital to attend the swaring ceremony of the iranian president

masud pesishian, he was targeted and assassinated in the early hours of july 31st, 2024. welcome back, now in order to discuss this assassination further and also the attack on southern lebanon and uh the marturdom of hezballah commander foad shukr. we are joined by ali malloh, activist and commentator who is with us from toronto. thank you very much mr. malah. thank you, thank you. mr. malah, in your opinion, what are some lessons that can be learned from these attacks as far as the israelis and the international community is concerned? just minor correction, the assassination of martter shaheed fuad shukur happen in beirot in the thorthern part of beirot, but i think

history provide us with lots of lessons about the nature of this criminal and genocidal regime since inception and before it was founded officially as a state, zion state, the zionist gangs and later on the zion states state have engaged in in many massackers, in many assassination in many destabilization in the region whether in syria, lebanon, even iraq back to the 18, 1980s and of course iran, so i think we have no shortage of history, the challenge as how to further expose the criminal nature of this regime and how we can uh at the international scene bring it to justice uh and of course uh in what way do you first of all we do know

that the united states has openly declared that it had nothing to do with this, however it is very clear for any observer that such attacks cannot happen without the green light of united states, so uh, what is your analysis of the role that the us has played, and how do you think these assassinations, considering that uh, they will not lead to the objectives they were uh intended to will affect the dynamics? well, as we know, the history of the united states in the last century has been lies, lies, deception and the crimes, so it is really kind of very hard to accept, any explanation or anything being said by the us administrations regardless of who is in power at the white house, so definitely there is highest level of coordination and exchange of information uh between the united states, you institution from the pentagon to the cia to other to

other entities and the zion states as well, mind you might be some some regional small players also provided a kind of... vital information to this crime uh, the impact of this crime on on on the people of the region on on the access of resistance is, i think and i believe it is more reason and determination for the access of resistance to really engage and continue resisting that illegal entity and legal occupation of palestine to the point where you know could bring it down uh you know now there are couple reports from the new york times to the cnn to others stating that uh the assassination of marther hanu uh was via bomb

which was planted way before uh you know in a a they said like two month three months ago or maybe i don't know longer but they they they... clearly reported uh, it is being planned uh long time ago, which means way before what happened in majd shams and way you the... last couple massacers on on the people of gaza. okay, so uh, if in order for the resistance front, we have been discussing these issues with our guests throughout the day, so i'm just trying to wrap this up, mr. malo, uh, we have been discussing the fact that there will definitely be very strong response. we did hear ayat leader of iran's islamic revolution calling for a strong response also, heizbullah has did done the

same, the other axis of resistance have also declared the same position, what kind of retaliation are you expecting and do you believe that will lead to any escalation in the region? well, the criminal act itself died the the global peace, you know, regardless there is immediate and a quick response from the axis of resistance or not, what the... criminals state done is you know invading the sovereinity of a independent country committing a crime against one of its guests and the same what happened in lebanon with marther shuger so what whatever would happen i have i have no clear information about the response. when and how, but as you stated, leader khamenei and say nasrallah

today in his speech and also you know the leadership in in yemen, have clearly stated that, this crime will not go unpunished, the the amount of response, you know, if you follow the speech of syd nasaralah, he says it's been left to the battlefield to almidan, so... "the risk is dragging another countries into this war to become an open war, and that's why i said you know the action of this illegal state is a real present and danger to the global peace and to the global stability, so do you believe that there will be any kind of escalation can?" we expect an all-out war in the region with other countries involved?

it's really hard to tell, but at the at least they will be kind of response, how deep and painful that response would be, it's everybody's guess, but when when the axis of resistance said, you know they will respond, they will, you know, they definitely, yeah, their declaration is a what, it's a promise, and they never walked. away from a promise exactly and right so yeah rightly so it there will be a response but again you know the the evaluation of of this response i think it's premature for now because that requires lot of strict uh follow up on all the development in the region uh might involve another countries we don't know we already a war you know uh the united states have committed you know crimes. you know against against personal and against institution whether in iraq or even in in the air in the area even

they target yeman uh so yeah then the united states is actually in this war it's a partner is not like something is you know the z state will drag and they are a partner of this genocide and they are a partner of this crime and they are responsible if everything goes of hand and the drag to more intervention from other state, other agent, other player, and if definitely will be escalation of war. uh, okay, so do you believe that there was some kind of miscalculation on the part of israelies by committing these acts of aggression, or did they actually expect this, are they looking into uh creating more tension in the region? is this planned or not? oh, definitely, you know, is not a bter of miscalculation, the nature of the z state itself. as a state build on massackers, on ethnic cleansing, on you endless amount and

numbers of of assassination and and destruction. just if you didn't have the chance to read the book by by ronan bergman when he talks about the history of the clendestine and open operation by the musad and by the state as a whole. it's called the rise and kill first and actually is one of the people who wrote today in in in the new york times about the plot being planned way ahead, so to me there is no miscalculation here, they know what they are doing, this is their net. and they want to bring more more destruction to the region, hoping that the united states and and the and the european countries would come to their rescue, because it's very clear with all the mighty and with all the power of the zazian state, they failed and they failed miserably in their war against the resistance in gaza, despite the

fact that more than 40,000 martered, many of them are children and women even "there are reports to talk about much more higher than that and you know the terms of one wonded and the total destruction of gaza, so they failed, with all of that they failed and they couldn't defeat hamas and this is their challenge and netanyahu with his craziness and as a blood blood thirsty he want to continue until he achieved something in in in gaza or maybe have something forced on the region by the international players." um, okay, so um, what about public opinion? do you believe that public opinion has become more aware of the situation on the ground in gaza, now with these assassinations happening, which are clear violations of international law in case of the assassin.
