uh from the outside saying, oh, there might be a basically disagreements between hamas and iran, but iran, so iran said, of course this is, this was your decision, you can have that decision, it's your region, you know what decision to make for your own country, and this is very different from say the approach of the us, the treatment of the us with this allies, we saw when the when germany uh was basically begging the us to continue to import gas from russia because it was the one it was, i mean the... biggest importers of russian gas in europe and it was winter and then what did the us do they um destroyed the pipeline that that took gas to germany even though basically uh we had people die from the cold in germany because why? because the us wouldn't allow the people of its ally to continue a basically a cooperation that they needed at the time, but what iran did from the gego was that basically they facilitated the uh export of

uh technology to these different uh basically to these different resistance fronts, we have uh iraq, we have yemen, we have lebanon, we have syria, we have and bahrain, you know, some of the new new members, so all of these basically different resistance fronts are being assisted with the education, with the uh with the know-how, with the ideology, of of course, that's this is the core of all these resistance fronts, but at the same time "each leader of the resistance makes their own decision because they have the most experience on the ground to see what is best for their region with everything that's going on, so this is how iran has worked so far, and following the assassination of uh syd hasan nasaralah, what was being said was that, oh look, iran left the resistance alone, and lot of western media were starting to say, you know, oh, iran sold sayid hassan, oh, iran basically sold sied hasan in respon." for a basically uh the removal of

certain americans sanctions, which is i mean the absolutely most ridiculous claim, because iran has lived under sanctions for over 40 years, and there are sanctions on virtually everything that could possibly be sanctions on, and not only from the us because the us also uses its iron fist in dealing with this enemy with with its allies, actually and to to prevent them from having any uh cooperation with iran doing business with iran even though it's in their interest, so uh, this is, i mean, they have been saying this, they've been uh, basically making all kinds of propaganda, but iran show that, look even though, each of us have our own independence, each uh front of the resistance is acting independently with the command of of course their own commander, at the same time, none of these resistance fronts are going to leave the other ones alone, i mean we even had you know iran's younger brother

yemen, the yemeni resistance that following iran's retaliation to the assassination of sied hasan and ismail han commander furusan yemen came out and say if war the us and i mean the fact just yemen warning the us by itself, the yemeny resistance giving a warning to the to the us to the biggest military power of the world that by itself is very special, that's very interesting. you mentioned that yemen that was under up to nine years of you know military occupation and bombardment by the us and the saudi coalition is now being able to threaten the us please stay with us we have our guests coming um live now joining us from new york saida fatima was an organization organizer and political commentator thank you for joining us salam alaikum salam thank you for joining us um so my first question to you

because i want to, i wonder i want - our viewers to be aware of you know what's happening and just to give some details and perspective, the new york has seen one of the largest you know protest, anti-war protest um, you know, in the united states, but before we go to that, i want to ask you what is the reaction to the iranian retaliation that took place few nights ago and especially the fact that you know this response came with out you know um israeli casualities or any innocent civilians dying, while israel for the past 11 month have been telling everyone that they are trying their best to save innocent people and innocent civilians, but we've seen that the majority of their targets have been innocent by standards and not to resistance, so the difference between this is when iran strike, um innocent civilians are exempted, while when israel strike um you know... um, their number one

targets are always the the innocent civilians, yes, so this iranian operation true promised to right, it was a retaliation operation in response to of course design. entities very existence and their brutal atrocities in gaza and throughout the region, but it was more so particularly in response to the assassination of shaheidlah, shaheid ismal and shaheed abbassan, and so the people here right, protesting are angry at the sionist regime and are angry at the amount of innocent people being killed, and so yes any display of resistance is something that is going to be celebrated, this operation showed the strength, the military... capabilities um that the resistance has um obviously the islamic republic and um based off of the results of this operation from the 90% of the ballistic missiles being fired at the zionist entity directly hitting the targets to the billions of dollars of damage um to the

so-called most advanced and extensive defensive systems, it really shows the zionist regime is terrified by the intelligence and operational capabilities of the islamic republic, so this is something that people are certainly um happy about and especially amits the hypocritical arab states who also failed in their involvement, so the islamic republic, they sent this strong message of retaliation, and as you mentioned, the islamic republic also showed their moral compass when it comes to the laws of war. this operation was carried out within the framework of the right to legitimate self-defense and in accordance with international law, something that the american... regime and the zionist entity have no familiar familiarity with, they cannot ever abide by international law, and um, of course they just kill civilians, and so this military operation had no civilian casualties, strict military targets, and interestingly enough, the hypocrisy of the

zionists and the americans were very clear after the operation, many of them were first celebrating because they said, oh, this operation wasn't a success because there was no civiling casualties, and so that really showed their... true colors that a mark of success for them in war is killing children um while of course here the military success was the targeting of strict military um military areas. thank you for that. my next question to you is how has the assassination of saidas and you know changed the region because we know for fact that the israelis in the attempt they said that in targeting you know the leadership of isbullah or the leadership of amas or the leadership of the resistance in general they're trying to destroy the resistance, however we've seen that the reves is the case, how do you think in your opinion the assassination of sayidad has you know changed or impacted you know the resistance as all? yeah, so the zionist enemy, they targeted sayid hasanlah with

great hatred because of his great role in confronting the zionist entity throughout the years from obviously the liberation in 2000 to the 2006 war to... lebanon's role, particularly up north where we see so many settlers that have left, um, so they know how much the people love him, like something so amazing about shaheed sayid hasan nasrullah was how much he was loved by his people, the people of that region, the people of lebanon, all um, justice seekers around the world, and so of course, as the leader himself even mentioned yesterday, this is a tragedy, this is not something small, it is a loss, um, but with that being said, when our leaders, who have worked tirelessly on the path of truth and justice, when they finally achieve martidom, this is our pride, this is the pride of the people in that region, that their leader is now a shaheed, he's a marder. there's a saying from imam khumeini actually,

where he says that nation whose hearts are at attached to god and rise for the sake of god, and its work is done for the sake of god, it... isn't interrupted by the passing away of such personalities, and the leader himself emphasized the same point that the sayid of the resistance, he was not just one person, he was path, he was a school of thought, and his path will continue, and so the people of that region, they're stronger now because of their leader now being a marter, shaheed sayid is stronger than just sayid, all the zionist entity has done is they've awakened a people love and yearn for martidom um and they've caused that love to spill onto that land even more and god willing it will wash away the evil genocidal entity all they've done is really hasten their termination day and they got in the people to be angrier

against the enemies and more will rise up in fight absolutely thank you so much for joining us and sharing your thought with us right here on press tv that fatima uh sayidah fatima was an organizer and political comment joining us from new york and viewers, that's all we um have for you right now on this rolling coverage of what's been happening. okay, so we, i'm told that our guest is still with us in the studio, is you there mariam? yes, thank you for being patient with us, so um, to to we we were discussing the issues about what's been happening and the fallback and the reaction, and my next question that i would like to ask you is that we saw the reaction across the muslim world, not just in gaza, um, you know, seeing kids laugh for the first time in almost 11 months, but also... so in iraq and in syria and in yemen and every other part of the world, we even saw

images online from saravo where people were rejoicing at the um, when they saw the iranian um missile attack or retaliation on israel, so i want to i want to discuss that the unity of the people across the world when it comes to the brutality that they've been seen israel and act upon the people of this region and the fact that they were you know... happy to see someone stand up to this bully um and also the fact that we know for the fact that um that this region has been facing huge propaganda um attempt to divide the people on being shias or being sunnis or being harabs or being persians or being kurds and this has maintained you know a sort of invincible wall that has prevented the people from uniting but we saw and we're seeing that the the consistent attack of... of israel on the people of this region as united them and the fact that the the resistance is pushing

back against this as also united the people. your thoughts please. well this is really interesting because for very long time people across the world have been told that in order to join hands and be united, you should all talk about nice things and agree with each other and don't talk about anything that could potentially cause this agreement and the us for instance the people are very you know they they're very reserved about like talking. about politics, we're talking about religion, they feel like it can cause, it can call this cause discomfort, it can cause division, and they try to avoid certain things, even even basically it's considered polite to not bring up certain issues, but what iran showed and what the access of resistance showed that actually the best way to bring people together is to bring them together a very strong cause by showing actually very strong stance when it comes to something that people should... have very strong stance in the face off, like for instance genocide, right? so we have had

across the world, we have people who are uh, mean muslims in general, mean that's one thing, but we have christians, we have jewish people, jewish people have been some of the loudest voices in uh basically against this genocide, we have lot of jewish people taking a lot of threats in the us, but they're speaking out against uh the zionist and the genocide the're committing, we have people who haven't believed in, mean the their whole life, they didn't believe in any religion, but people understand that you know everybody likes those who take action in the face of injustice, the only difference was that for the longest time people had been told you know the the place of resistance fighter and terrorist for them had been mismash, or like the basically what they thought was a a basically an effort for exporting democracy by their regime was actually terrorism, so

basically they everything had been mislabeled for them, and for that reason a lot of them were actually not very active, and lot of them were also also told that the best way to uphold peace is to not have very strong opinion, and this is actually quite the opposite of what is true, now we see when iran acted really strongly that iran had uh the military... bases nobody across the world before the resistance front would dare to hit, then everybody's coming together under the iranian flag, because why? because we stand, they see that we stand for the protection of the oppressed, and then nobody likes those who don't actually don't do anything in the face of oppression, nobody like the human conscious cannot accept that, so now people across the world actually, it doesn't matter where they are from, you know, if... they have any access to the to the reality on the ground, they are with the resistance, doesn't matter if they before

they hated hisballah or hamas or you know if they thought all muslims were terrorists, they are starting to see the reality if they have any access to basically social media to to everything that's happening on the ground that the social media platforms can no longer hide and can no longer censor because it's happening at such a large scale so they also mention that this is happening a very large scale, i want to turn your attention and the attention of our viewers also to the fact that when it comes to international law, this countries that have you know lectured the world about international law and how important international laws are and how important international human human rights you know um is and the fact that it is them and the regime that they support that have consistently and continuously you know um break this international humanitarian law or

human rights laws and also the fact that you know the resistance have tried its best to restrain itself from you know engolving the region into a wider war, but now we are editing closer and closer into that as fast as you can, if you can, mariam. thank you so much. well, you cannot, you can never uphold laws when the person who's supposed to basically uphold the law, when the entities that are supposed to enforce the laws are the biggest uh, the the biggest powers are the who are themselves breaking the laws, right? so the us is the biggest terrorist regime in the world. look at how many millions of people were massacred as a result of the us invasion, as a res invasions, i mean we have a syria, afghanistan, iraq, and the list goes on, and we have so many people murdered across the world and stripped of their chance to democratically elected government, because of all the cous the us organized and facilitated all the way across the world, one

them being facilitated inside iran before the islamic revolution, actually, i mean, they are talking about them... having a problem with the islamic republic, but even before we had an islamic republic, we had democratically elected uh prime minister who wanted to nationalize iran's oil and they still basically organized the coup to not allow that for that to happen, and the cia itself admitted that it was not democratic, i mean let's call it terrorist, but it definitely wasn't democratic, so we have as long as the systems in the world, the policing of the world is done by the... terrorists by the biggest terrorist in the world, we cannot have any enforcement of any humane law, i mean you can talk about you, they talk about the informsments of loss for say ukrainian citizens, but when when a war is in their interest, when a genocide is in their interest, they will most definitely not uphold those laws, why would they? thank you so much miri, i'm really sorry for cutting

you off right there, but we we've run out of time, i would like to thank you for joining us in our studio, that's mariam azarch. giving us analysis on what's been happening and thank you viewers for staying with us. press tv is still covering and we'll be covering you know live um the issues around the region and keeping you up to date. for now, thank you so much and goodbye for now.

in the name of god, the most compassionate, the most mercyful, tonight the aerospace force of the islamic revolution guard core through its heroic and courageous operation. avenger many of the crimes committed by the zinest regime. the past two months have been extremely difficult for the people of iran and for the resistance access. since the assassination of martter ismail hanyer, the head of political bureau of hamas in tehran, we faced constant requests from americans, europeans and others asking us to exercise restraint to establish sease fire in gaza. however, the criminal scientis regime with the us support escalated. its crimes committing massacres against the people of lebanon, particularly in the assassination of a great warrior marty said hassan nasrullah, secretary general of hizbollah in lebanon,

and irgc senior advisor, martter general neil furusan. these were significant atrocities, the situation had become unbearable. thankfully, the irgc with its highly valuable missile operation was able to target key bases of the designist regime. despite these crimes. the islamic republic of iran adhered to the necessary protocols targeting only military bases. three primary military bases of designist regime were struck. musat as the center of assassinations, nevatim air base, the base for f-35 fighter jets and hot zor airbase used in the assassination of the dear marty nasralah, strategic radars as well as gathering points for tanks, armor vehicles and personal of the zionist regime in the area surrounding gaza. responsible for the massacre of the gaza's people were also targeted. in this operation, no economic or industrial infrastructure was hit, nor were civilians targeted, even though this was

entirely possible. i hereby declared that the irgc and the armed forces of the islamic republic of iran are fully prepared, both defensively and offensively to repeat this operation with several times more intensity. if the zionist regime, which has gone mad,... is not controlled by the us and europe and continues its crimes or acts against our sovereignty and territorial integrity, tonight's operation will be repeated with greater force and all their infrastructure will be hit. we hope that the us will abandon its past approach and stop this criminal regime so that peace may return to the region. i must also fully express my gratitude to my dear comrads in the irgc and aero space force for successfully carrying out this operation. additionally, i thank the army of the islamic republic of iran and the air defense forces who are responsible for defending the country's airspace as well as

the ministry of defense, whose valuable defense industries contributed to providing some of tonight's crucial missiles. praise be to god, the unity and solidarity of the armed forces made this possible, and god willing we have brought joy to the heart of our leader, imam al-mahdi, the supreme leader. with the permission of almighty god in revenge for the blood of the martyr and the warrior ismail hannah as well as the blood of the commanders and the great leader of hezbollah, the great fighter said hasan nasrullah and the brave commander of the islamic revolution guards core general abbas nil furusan and also in revenge for the blood.
