6:02 pm
همیشه تو خونه روایت می کرد از ۶ ساله آرزو داشتم که اسرائیل رو نابود کنیم آره این بزرگترین آرزوی من بوده از کودکی یعنی این همیشه با هم بوده استراتژی انقلاب اسلامی هم محو نابودی رژیم جعلی صهیونیست و انشاالله تو این را به شهادت برسید. welcome back to the rolling coverage of the israeli aggression in gaza and lebanon, also the aftermath, we are covering the aftermath of the iranians retaliatory attack on israel last from last night. um, well, to give you a quick recap, the we've had today, the very first aerial attack of hezbollah on the israeli artillery positions in nevaziv. and
6:03 pm
uh they have used drones to do that, and on the other side, at least five civilians have been killed by israeli occupation troops in balbek. lebanese resistance has inflicted heavy casualties upon israeli occupation, troops seaking to seeking to infiltrate border, they have also forced them to withdraw a part of the forces. uh, well, i am still joined by rachel hamdun, our press tv correspondent from new york and also professor sat nemer, uh, professor. politic political science and at beardside university in drama. my next question is for professor sad nimmer once again, professor, um, in youndeliza rice once mentioned the idea of the formation of new middle east and that being the thing that the world needed in the region. do you believe that the they are the collective west and israel are closer today to achieve that dream, to realize that dream?
6:04 pm
well that depends on on how we are reacting as you know resistance generally in the region including iran, hizballah, syria, iraq and yemen, also palestine, this project is is in the head of the americans and the israeli since as you mentioned since kondeliz aries 2006, the war of against lebanon and hazballah managed to defeat. the israeli in in in lebanon and almart at that time who was the prime minister in israel wanted to pull out from lebanon during this war and kunderice kept going on with him to to continue the war in order to defeat hizballah. the idea for them was to end the uh resistance in the region in order to re establish what they call it. the new middle
6:05 pm
east, now netanyahu is coming back with the of same idea, but this time netanyahu is not alm, he had his own ideas about this this kind of things, and that's what he said in the meeting or the speech that he delivered in the united nations last week, when he said that we are looking for new middle east, what does it mean in new middle east to end all kind of resistance, and especially when he delivered this... speech we suspected immediately that israel and the americans are planning really also to hit iran in in a way or another or to weaken iran and to cut the relationship between iran and all the resistance in the region such as hazballah or in syria or in iraq or in yemen plus the palestinians and in such case they could end any kind of resistance in face of israel in order to do their project, their project is
6:06 pm
to enlarge israel by taking more land and to reconstruct if you like the the regimes in in in the region and having this normal relationship and normalization according to what is known as abraham accord between arab countries and israel to form a kind of an alliance in the arab countries with israel led by israel in order to keep iran away from the region and to, to defeat iran, if you like, in order to protect the interest of america in the region as well as the interest of israel, and israel in this case, according to what trump was saying in his campaign that israel size as area is too small and it need of to be enlarged, what does it mean to enlarge israel? that means that there will... take
6:07 pm
parts of lebanon from syria and gaza and the west bank definitely in into enlarge the the the size of israel and maybe also in jordan valley. because there were some talks from some of the right-wing israeli parties talking about you know the jordan valley, not the palestinian part of the jordan valley valley, but they are talking also about the eastern part of jordan valley, which is parts of jordan, and that's the israel now which is going to enlarge its size, and that will be on the expense of these countries and these people, and since they... moved the possibility for the resistance, it means that this project is going on. now it depends on us on the resistance generally in the region for this project to be executed or not. i believe that the battle now is very very tense, especially in lebanon and lebanon
6:08 pm
could work or hazballah is doing you know their best to defeat their project in lebanon and not to sorry dismantle. as they said and also for iran, now the israeli wanted to pull america into a regional war, even against iran and to be iran involved in this war, and i believe even that israel today is going to hit back after what happened yesterday in order to regain their supremacy in the region or to regain their control and power to say that we are the only country that could do everything everywhere. as netanyahu said, so i think that we are maybe facing soon a kind of a regional war in order to execute this kind of project which is the new middle east, and i hope that that will be the end of this entity totally, because they are not doing or
6:09 pm
they are not knowing what they are facing in in the region. thank you, professor sight, my question is now for rachel, rachel, you know that... um the uh well of course i need to quote uh iranian president masoudkian who has said that the israeli iron d was not actually made of iron it was more fragile than glass you know uh with the response and the retaliation of iran how does that change the equation in the region what do you think uh is going to be the repercussion of that right so so with that being said it actually brings me to biden statement yesterday where he said where he claimed that iran's actions yesterday were defeated and i call defeated and ineffective, yet footage shows otherwise. biden even revealed that he told american
6:10 pm
forces to intervene and try to intercept some of those uh bostic missiles that came through yesterday using two us navy destroy. so at this moment, like professor said, the fighting is becoming very tense, and at this point america is willing to do everything in its power, be at 8.7 billion, be it more than 8.7 billion, in order to make sure that its project, its long planned project does not fail, because let's not forget that israel is the only post or the only way in, for america into the middle east, that way, that path is for it to build what it calls greater israel, this is this is its investment, so in order to keep its interests, in order to keep its investments, it's going to do everything in its power in order to make sure that israel
6:11 pm
does not quote cease to exist. right, thank you so much. professor nimmer, um, like i said, israely military has talked up the role of... the americans before, during and after the iranian operation, true promise to, what's the purpose behind that? isn't america already involved? yes, absolutely, it is involved from the very beginning after the 7th of october, they are involved, sometimes they seem as if they are trying to bring things down a little bit, but apparently that the americans are totally involved, helping israel with weapon or can... of wopen that you can expect, helping them with money as well and as well as the supporting them diplomatically by you know in the united nations or in bringing allies with the united states against the resistance so yes america
6:12 pm
are are involved now and this morning it was quite clear you know the statements by the americans especially after the... happened yesterday and last night with the iranian hit against israel that the american not only are involved but they are now supporting israel in order to retaliate and they said they are going to help israel in doing that, so yeah, their involvement is there. now the thing is whether the american are going to be involved also in a or retaliation against iran or not, because that would make the all their interest in the region really in in in the as a targets in the region, they will be really really very stupid if they did so, they are already helping, and i think... the iranian statements about you know any third country
6:13 pm
or any second country helping israel in its retaliation it has to have to face the problems and kind of a declaration of war so yeah i think that the the the relationship between israel and america is a strategic one and even sometimes as we said many times if there is some problems between an administration and an israeli government, that doesn't mean at all that this relationship is down deep, is very profound and strategic kind of relations, they are not going to let israel alone and they will help israel in what matter, so so what soever the israel are doing, and we believe that also now the americans who are calling for more troops to come to the region, especially in... their pace in cyprus and also bringing in the craft carriers to the region, all that
6:14 pm
any preparation for a regional war if it happened and to help israel when they needed, so they are involved from the very beginning, and i think that if that thing escalated into original war, the americans have to be worried about about all their bases which are in the middle east generally. because it will be targeted by the all the resistance and plus iran if they dared to participate the israeli in hitting iran. thank you so much professor and rachel, please stay with us. i am now going to cross over to our own correspondent mariam was chair from ou has joined us from our own studio in tehran. maria and welcome to the program, what do you think about these latest developments upon the retaliatory attack of? on israel last night, so basically um, first of all, let's
6:15 pm
clarify few things, because it seems like certain media is constantly getting it wrong, uh, what iran did in its retaliatory attack, iran shot 400 hypersonic missiles, not 100, not 200, it seems like they keep wanting to downplay, it was 400 hypersonic missiles, those missiles hit in less than 10 minutes, now a percentage of these miss missiles 10% these missiles were intercepted, but 90% hit, so all of these media trying to basically downplay iran's power and oh, there were no damages, and of course that's what designist regime has to do, because it basically uh tried had tried for for the longest time to create this myth of invincibility, you know, the iron dome that nothing goes past it and everything, i mean, well clearly it didn't intercept 90%, and these hypersonic missiles uh, you now what is interesting also is that iran did not use its latest missiles, lot of
6:16 pm
missiles that iran used were actually used already before, the west already knew that iran had these missiles and even the newer ones were not actually iran's latest technology, so they didn't even feel the necessity to basically really show some teeth to designist regime, they just basically went ahead and um targeted the occupied territories, and for the psychopath. who measure the success of mission by the number of civilians killed, we should tell them that you know iran was not going for civilian targets of course we understand that israeli civilians or israeli settlers are not exactly civilians, the're walking around with major weapons, they serve in the israeli army and in the iof, they um basically it's mandatory for men and women to serve, so but even so, iran could have targeted hospital, iran could have targeted a school, iran could have
6:17 pm
targeted aid workers, iran could have targeted so many different points of where actually children, well sorry to interrupt you mariam, uh, right now uh, the ambassador the algerian government to the un is speaking and addressing the general uh, the security council, so we're going to go there and uh cover it live. we're going to return back to you, thank you, thank you, and excuse me for interrupting you, admiration and support for the secretary general following... the incredible decision of the israeli occupying authorities to declare him persona nongrata. this decision reflects a clear disdain of the un system and the entire international
6:18 pm
community. for these israeli authorities, no narrative, no truth exists, except their own, madame president, this meeting marks the third time in a single week that we have heard from the secretary general, regarding the middle east, it is testimony of the gravity of the situation. we stand periously close to a regional conflagration with tensions escalating daily. the situation has
6:19 pm
further deteriorated due to the israel. aggression against lebanon, beginning with the targeting of civilian electronic devices and progressing to indiscriminate bombardment and ground invasion that shows a blutant disregard for human life, a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, following the attacks, detonat detonating civilian electronic devices, the security council convened at algeria's request, we endeavored to have the council sent and clear
6:20 pm
a simple message, call for immediate disescalation, call for immediate disescalation. regretably, the council failed in this attempt. madam president, the security council's inability to act has exacted devastating bill, stating tall, between september 17 and 25th, the israeli militaries claimed more than 100 lives in lebanon, 1000 lives in lebanon, including 87
6:21 pm
children and 100% and 56 women, while displacing million of libanes in the country largest exodus, our inaction has effectively granted israel, under right of self-defense principle, our inaction has effectively granted israel, carte blanche, carteblance to continue its rampage in gaza, in west bank,
6:22 pm
carte blanche escalate against lebanon and pursue the bloody agenda of death and destruction. now we hear the new rhetorics of disescalation through escalation. strange: this is a dangerous fallacy. escalation inevitably breeds further and escalation for years to come, this surge of in violence has derailed efforts implement resolution. 27:35 and has severely compromised any prospect for calm in lebanon and the wider region. the
6:23 pm
security council must act, must act with greater resolve, to be relevant, simply. to be credible, as the highest authority responsible for maintaining international peace and security, it is unacceptable for its decision, including resolution 27-35 to be bloatlantly disregarded. israel is not above the law, and we must hold it accountable, we need solutions, tangble, enforceable solutions, no more rhetorics that
6:24 pm
serves no one. madame president, while we must not allow the escalation in lebanon, to overshadow the ongoing tragedy. in gaza, it seems some have grown in different of gaza's people plight, any effort to address the broader escalation in the region must begin, must begin with halting the brutal assault in gaza. i repeat any effort to address the... border escalation in the region must begin with halting the brutal assault in gaza. we
6:25 pm
need immediate cease fire. we need an immediate fire in gaza. everyone, everyone, save for the israeli occupier, seeks this. end this cycle of violence and is working towards that end, so how long will the international community remain important in the face of israel's defiance, how long will we fail to enforce full implementation, full implementation of resolution 1701, especially israel's withdrawal from lebanese territory,
6:26 pm
key condition for lebanon's stability. mather president, the middle east urgently requires concerted actions. from all of us, all of us, to find lasting, sustainable solution to his crisis. these solutions demand and end and and to israeli occupation of arab lands in lebanon, in syria, and the establishment of an independent palestinian state. i thank you, madam president, je remercie, i thank the representative of algeria, i now give the
6:27 pm
floor to the representative of mozambique, well you have been watching the ambassador of the algerian government to the un addressing the security council held to investigate the matters in west asia and the escalation. and the danger of further escalation in the region and you heard him say that he demonded greater resolve from the security council condemned the israeli aggression and said that uh we need an end and immediate end to the israeli occupation of arab lands in lebanon in syria wherever they are making these aggressions. they want he wanted also the full implement implementation of resolution 17. one regarding lebanese territory and sovereignty. um, it's it's really funny at the same time that he was speaking, he was addressing the council, we
6:28 pm
had breaking news that israely forces... targeted resid residential building in alvilot region west of damascus, this is like the third strike in damascus in the past week, once killing five soldiers an areal attack on the border of the syria and lebanon, the second time three civilians were uh killed in air strikes within damascus and right now we can see a residential building in the village in the region of alvilot west of damascus being brought down. by another onjust israel strike so uh that was really impressive the talks of the algerian ambassador to the un, i'm going to go back to mariam azarcher, sorry to interrupt you uh the previous uh time that we were speaking, please uh continue and also uh give share your comments on the speech that we have been just listening to, well thank you, so what we what we were talking about is actually the way um certain media outlets are trying to...
6:29 pm
measure iran's success, the success of iran's retaliatory operation is by the number of civilians killed and i stated that only psychopath measures a military success like that, of course the designist regime has been doing that, they uh basically constantly uh what they do, they target hospitals, they target schools, they targeted un workers, they even targeted american civilians you know doing any kind of aid work in the us, they target journalists. but this is not a what a sophisticated military does, sophisticated military has specific goals and it reaches specific goals through measures plan trying to basically minimize the uh civilian casualties. of course, as we know, the zionist, the settlers are not exactly civilians because i mean there's a mandatory military service for men and women, they're walking around on the beach even with major weapons, so it's not exactly you know -
6:30 pm
seller population is not exactly a civilian population also that they very fully support the genocidal crimes of the regime and um basically of course they have been protesting the regime uh like hundreds of thousands taking to the streets and basically trying to protest uh what the regime does but the protests were were mainly because that they were saying we want the release of our captives and that was their concern not the palestinian women and and being blown to pieces, so i mean the way to measure iran's success in the uh in last night's operation, what iran targeted, iran targeted military bases uh, including the base from which uh sayid hasan nasurlah was assassinated actually, iran also targeted musad headquarters, so what is actually interesting is that you know these western reporters were trying to say, oh you know they're using '
