hello and welcome to spotlight and marzia hashimi, thanks so much for being with us, well support for the oppressed people of gaza and palestine is an obligation for all muslims, this is according to the leader of iran's islamic revolution, ayatollah sayad ali khamenei. talked about unity, not only

that the leader discussed unity, but also it was a theme that was used in the president's first press conference, president masoud possession talked about the importance of the relations between muslim countries, neighboring countries, and of course that it's going to try to play a very big part in his future foreign policy, we're going to be taking a look at all of this on the spotlight, so stay with us, i like welcome my guests to the program. masud shajar, chairman of islamic human rights commission out of tehran, and said mosan abbas, journalist and political commentator out of london. thank you so much for being with us. i start this off uh with masud. i mean, ayatollah khamene made statements and talked about the importance of unity and said it's oblical.

obligatory, obligatory really for muslims to support palestinians. um, during this meeting of course he had with the iranian, sunni scholars today. i want to talk about what he said, the importance of that, and how do you think the situation could be different right now? if really all the muslims were following that? bismillah rahmanirrahim, i think the fact of the... that the verses of quran commands us to unite and hold to rope of allah. what does it mean holding up to the rope of allah? it means following his command, following the command is standing up for all those are oppressed and not just because they are muslim, and the verse is very. that how could you not rise up and for

sake of those oppressed men, women and children who are crying and saying, so really this is a command to stand up for humanity and it's a for muslims to unite in that direction, and you also i think is very important for us to realize that really there is only one muslim leader around the world who really believes in this. and has been committed to the unity of muslims on one side and indeed is standing for those who are oppressed and commanding unity and activity and action for all to stand up and stop this, stop this illegal occupation, stop this, which is happening systematically for over years. okay, my apologies. to our viewers

that we had a little technical difficulty, hopefully we can take care of that before we talk to massud again uh now said moson, i mean your take it, basically what the leader of the revolution has said is that look beyond nationalities and and of course sectarian differences if you want to see it, look and concentrate on being that that one ummah and the significance of that, like if we really... concentrate on that, we would go beyond uh allowing actually even the enemies to divide us or have negative effect. i mean, how do you see it? well, i think we have to in the conversation of the unicy of the muslim, you have to really begin with the kingdom of saudi arabia, because it has not only held the spiritual uh, sort of folkrum of islam with with its uh, i'd say occupation with the saudi. regimes occupation of the

hijaz, the holy sites there, and then what they've done over the last seven decades is uh that they've rolled out systematically division and uh the the destruction of islamic unity, so what we've had is the primary wealth bank of the islamic nations and the the nation which has actually got control of the holy sites and influences or many, many other nations through its kind of funding and through its various other projects of religious and political and military uh if you like actions and all we've seen is what let's let's takes saudi arabia in yemen, they've invaded yemen, occupied it on behalf of the uh of the uh the anglo-zianist empire for how many years and inflicted one of the most henous set of war crimes that i've certainly witnessed, you know, in totally in in in leagus with the in

proportion with what's going on in gaza and what's israel doing there, if you go and study carefully, you look at their support of saddam hussein and his invasion of iran, you look at their uh their... religious narratives of takfiri wahabist if you like division which is all about breaking sufis and sunnis and sheas away from you any kind of unity amongst themselves through this kind of cult that they've evolved which is fashioned itself into isis isis all uh anglo-zionist proxy terrorist and saudi arabia and the gulf states have all been systematic systematically parcel of this process of division of the muslim and what iran is and i saying based on original push was that actually even in this very auspicious week where we have the beginning

of unity week around the prophet muhammad peace up birth that come together start working together diplomatically militarily. economically you have the platform and perhaps we can go into why the muslims now have a far better platform than they've ever had before, but essentially there are a lot of forces internally amongst muslims who are doing their best to make muslims become disunited and to fight amongst each other. all right, well masoud, sorry, guess we had some technical difficulties right now, we have you on the phone, but at least we have you, i want to look at because iran's president latian had a press conference, his first press conference today and and picking up on the the theme of unity, he talked about the importance, the importance in in looking at iranian foreign policy of expanding cooperation between uh, well neighboring

countries, but he also looked at muslim countries and the importance and even countries such as uh egypt, but saudi arabia, um jordan uh were mentioned during the press conference. i want to look at that side of things and and what that could mean if really um the iranian president and this new cabinet were able to actually uh be able to create closer relations with all the muslim countries possible uh what what would it mean in your perspective? well my understanding is that the unity comes uh with the grassroot people around the world and the matter is at the moment, who is willing to stand up for justice, who is willing to be a partner for creating a better society, who is willing to stand up against this apartite genocidal

system, it's ordinary people, it's not the leadership, be the sort of leadership in in the part of muslim world or indeed the leadership in european and western world, there are those who are willing, there are those understanding, and i believe this call is for humanity, because look, at the moment we have two options, two futures, two visions for the future of humanity and man kind, one is the vision of netanyahu and biden and you know emiratis and and so forth and so on. "and there is another version of those who actually see that humanity needs to challenge this abuses, need to challenge this sort of genocide, needs to challenge it not just because of the palestinion, but because if we

have vision of a future which is based anything other than abuse, ethnic cleansing, genocide and so forth, we need to build it, and i think when..." and call for unity comes is for those with those visions, not those with the visions of netanyahu biden and you know european leadership. vision is shared right across the world, that's shared among all muslim, sunni, shia, and and everyone, indeed that vision is also shared by people who are rising up, going to demonstrations week after week in washington, in new york, in, paris, and goes on and on, and we need to take response. ability to remove these tyrants, the supporters away if we going to

have vision and bring that vision to reality of a future which is away from this sort of inhumanity conflict and and say enough is enough, we don't want that vision, we want a peaceful, justifiable. we could all share, we could all survive, we could have the humanity to survive. interesting points that you made, because also uh presidentian was talking about, he said that actually iran is not an enemy um to uh basically hardly anyone of course besides the zionist entity, he says, but there are those who want and creating enmity and and and want to be iran's enemy. he said, i want to look at this, because we're looking at the foreign policy um possibilities of this new government, he said

that the um interaction that iran wants, it's with all countries, all countries who of course is going to treat iran equitably, your take moson on on this perspective uh, because he looked at, he started off with neighboring countries, muslim countries and expand it from there, whether we're talking about china or russia even european - other western countries and even the united states, if the united states would actually stick with what it had promised before and treat iran equitably. i mean, your your perspective on this. well, if we go through the the historical records of the islamic revolution, uh, since the islamic revolution, uh, and the the policies of every every government of iran. you'll see at no stage has the islamic republic of iran uh gone against. the idea of regional cooperation, in fact they've bent over backwards and gone out of their way to

try and nurture relations with their neighbors. the homo's peace plan comes to mind, you know, that was presented at the 74th un general assembly by iran, and it was a fundamental to that, i think is what something very important for unity in that region, and it was that no extra regional powers should be involved in dictating. what happens in west asia, it should be the neighborhood that sorts these things out amongst itself, and i think that's where mr. president is going to go, it's wherehani went, it's also where you know the previous establishment also was pushing, so where the was also working diligently to go around and bring people together, and in fact saudi arabia has diplomatically thought of late interventions of china. but largely efforts of iran, i would say, and i would say that also, there's a reality about this region,

masud touched on it very importantly earlier on, first of all, you have to have vision, and the vision has to be centered around moral ethical leadership. now only the islamic republic of iran has demonstrated that consistency of ethical, moral leadership over the last 30, 40 years, as far as i can see, iran will become a superpower, it is already a superpower with this... energy uh reserves with its rising nuclear power, with this uh launch this week of the space satellites, its advancement in biotechnology, it's military self-sufficiency, drones, ballistic missiles and industrially you can see it's going strength from strength of strength, even though the worst economic sanctions that i can ever recall, any nation being put under have been executed by the americans and the anglo-zionist empire sort of ever since the birth. of uh this this nation's in this modern uh islamic religious spiritual democratic sense, so iran has

something to offer, when they talked about exporting the revolution originally, when i spoke about exporting the revolution, culturally, ideologically, intellectually and spiritually was what he meant, but what the enemies, the likes of the americans and the ziners did was they spunder to spread fear in the region to say iran is coming to turn you all over and to destroy all your... your governments and overthrow you, the reality is that now you can see with what's going on in palestine, when imam komaini talked about exporting the the dream or... or exporting the humanizing culture of islam, he was specifically saying it because he knew that the the evil nature of anglo-zianism if you like uh would do exactly what it's doing in gaza now, been doing it of course as slow bleeding death for palestinians and others around that region, syria i can count, afghanistan, i can count, iraq, i can count, libya, i can count, lebanon, i can count, and

yemen, just name few, this is what imam khameini was warning against. "and now is it's even more important for muslims, grassots muslims wake up and say, yes, look, recognize the islamic republic of iran for what he is, the leader in terms of vision which gives autonomy, gives independence, gives sovereignty, potential to all the oppressed people of that region, uh, not just be cowed into submission by the fear of a an imagined mythical anglozionist power that they can never throw off and and to cast off the kind of the slave mentality with..." muslims have had even in post-colonial uh times. right, well masod, when we look at uh president pesetian also touched on several of the international uh agreements or possibilities, what he looked at again was the iaea and cooperating um and again he reiterated that it was not iran um who left

the well that was a jcpo deal um but and iran had suck. with it, it was others that tore it up, and then with the iaea, he said that still iran had been cooperating, and uh, even earlier today we had a uh from the iae representative, irani representative there in vienna saying that actually, even still the majority of the inspections, like 33% of the inspections that have taken place by the iaea this past year was done in iran, so i want your perspective of uh, uh, is it overly optimistic that uh iran can hope for better relations with iaea, or do you think that it is a possibility that it will iran can be treated equitably and actually both sides perhaps could benefit? well, i, i, i think it was very clear, i listened through the whole

sort of interview and the speech, and it was very clear that he was saying, " that iran has been honest, broker, iran wants to have be involved and have a peaceful relationship and based on principles with everyone, but i think also it's quite clear that iran cannot wait forever for that sort of relationship to be cemented, and and and the reality is that iran now has got a very good. relationship with china, with russia, and bricks, etc. iran doesn't need to sit down and suffocate, waiting for the europeans and americans to sort of start feeling sorry for it, iran is moving forward and and the the ball in really

in reality is in the court of the europeans and the americans and the west, whole that do they want to sort of be part of a change in international relations or do they want to still continue their colonial legacies and be masters and bully everybody else, mean you know the world is not going to wait, the reality is that there are no longer the the sort of the superpowers that once war and the whole world. knows that and i think you know it goes back to the same thing, the reality of what was saying earlier on that there's only two games available right now, one is the one with nanyahu, biden, trump, you know, and and all the europeans investors who have

investment in conflict, supporting war crime, supporting... genocide and palestine has made this vision very clear and then there those who actually oppose that and i think this is really a a crossroad for humanity and it is very clear that the who are opposing this vision of the future are willing one which is more fair more balanced and indeed everyone would be a winner and the vision of the netanyahu and others are overwhelming majority of people are going to be the losers including sort of people in united states and europe, you the one percent population who owns and is all the 85% of resources, power and so forth, those are the ones who are

winners, not ordinary, even in united states or europe. okay, well we say a bus when we look at part of uh what president possession said is he's looking at the uh perhaps the fatf. um uh as a possibility um he said that iran wants of course to as it has been be peaceful and it wants to concentrate its economy and it wants to be basically having relations with the neighboring countries and others. your thoughts say said mosen on the fatf, do you think that's a possibility uh for iran to uh abide by that agreement? um and at the same time keep its independence that it wants, could it help iran's economy or how do you see it? the reality, i was just

reading through some of the reports for black rock, the biggest asset manager in the world, and of course the lights of black rock, state street, we call it the united states treasury, whether you want to talk about well bank or the united nations, my opinion, you know, is basically hugely suspicious of all of this gang. "there is an entire network, nest of vipers, which in terms of institutions which were established post second world war, which have now become so nasty and so evil that they are all helt on this neoliberal fantasy that they're going to subjugate the rest of the world, they through military power, through the b bullying, through the imperialism, through totalitarianism, through cut surveillance capitalism, they're going to manage and heard people with their new found powers and" digital surveillance technology and and all sorts of other modern technologies in order to subjuggate and enslave people in further, that's the drunken delusion which the likes

of your black rocks and all of these kind of uh financial powers have, they are the ones who run all this fatf business and what not, they're the ones who dictate what uh goes on with the jcpo, for instance when iran tries to negotiate, they're the ones to tear up the the transatlantic agreements as and when they like it, they're the ones dictate that actually uh the world is in uh crisis or not or wars will happen not or not, so to be honest with you, any engagement with the anglo-zionist institutions and networks always have to has to be you know done so that you're actually ready uh to to to snip the snake in the neck if it tries to take you down an angle that that that is not necess. all see neoliberal capitalism do when it arrives in any country is it destroys that nation or it subjugates it and makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. if the islamic republican of iran uh wholesale adopts the likes of the agenda 2030, all these black

rock type people who are in all over saudi arabia right now for instance trying to push vision 2030 or the the wef's agenda 2030 then i'm afraid that iran will only become just another uh porn of of global money lender power they need to avoid that like like the... and i think there is the leadership to to do that. okay, and on that note, we're out of time. appreciate you being with me, said mosan abbas, journalist and political commentator out of london, and masud shajat, a chairman islamic human rights commission out of tehran, and thank you viewers for being with us on another spotlight, i'm marza hashimi, hope to see you right here next time, goodbye.
