minister is called for international efforts to stop israel's crimes in gaza and lebanon. and there have been consultations that we hope will materialize, but unfortunately the hostilities and crimes of the zionist regime still continue, as we said from the beginning, the zionist regime knows other language than the language of force, the international community must put effort to stop the regime from committing crimes in lebanon and gaza. abchi issued call after he arrived in the syrian capital damascus, he said israel's ongoing crimes in the region have hampered efforts to achieve sease fire. and she said regime only understands the language of force. he added, iran has been

continuously discussing latest developments in west asia with its regional allies such as lebanon and syria. and she also has sat down assyrian counterpart, basam sabaq to top. mas discussed various regional and international issues, the iranian foreign minister traveled to syria after a trip to beirot to discuss this really aggression against lebanon, and while in beira issued a stern warning to israel, causing the regime against any military action against iran, i said that terron's response to any further israeli aggression against the country will be harsher than before, and joining us out for our terron. studios is a roya purber from our press tv news room for more on the story, hello roya, good to have you uh join us, your initial thoughts of the iranian form minister she's uh visit to lebanon, it's not, he just got to syria so we don't have to get into that, but as far as uh his trip to lebanon, what do you hope to achieve in that trip and

uh some of the warnings he gave to the zinist entity uh upon leaving? first of all thank you for having me here uh yes as you have already said his trip to to uh syria comes after his recent trip to beirot, lebanon, where he expressed his solidarity with the people of lebanon and also again with the people of ghaza and palestine, occupied palestine so... his while he was in beirot, he basically reiterated what uh iranian military officials and government officials have already said before that um this retaliation, recent retaliation operation true promise to was of course in response to the israeli aggressions, the assassination that took place in the capital tehran and uh other forms of aggressions that have been taking place uh in beirot and palestine, so this comes in retaliation to that, but he also warrant that israeli regime that should they decide to attack tehran or iran in

general, and should they decide to respond to our retaliation, to the islamic republic of iran's retaliation, the response this time would be harsher, and this was also said in the friday prayers sermons by led by the leader khamenei, so um, of course, what he is stating, we should not forget that this is also the... admit and lawful right of the islamic republic to do response should that take place? thanks roy and i believe you lived in lebanon. in fact, i think you were there back in 2006 when uh hezbulah and the zince entity went went added back then, how how do what do you remember from that conflict and how it differs from this onslot by the regime we're seeing on beirout and its suburbs today? well, first of all, um, the similarity, the major similarity between... back then and today now is that uh back then the israeli regime was relentlessly also

bombing civilian infrastructures, targeting civilians and not necessarily hazbil law fighters, but the difference is that uh the aggression is much more uh vile and vicious compared to before, even though back then to we had civilian infrastructures being targeted, as you we know today, the number the death tool for today's aggressions, the present... aggressions uh has surpassed 20 according to the lebanese health ministry, so it has already surpassed the death toll we had back in the 30 33 day war in july of 2006, and i distinctly remember back then the you know uh being in our own building, residential area, i must say, and drops bombs being dropped uh, you know surrounding us on buildings that were surrounding our own building in the bakka region so... those were residential buildings, they were not so to speak, hazbillah strongholds, and even when

we were flee fleeing from uh hermal to syria, the road that we were taking w was the same road that everyone else was taking who was trying to flee and you know reach a surf safer place uh because of the um bombs that were being dropped and while we were fleeing while i was in the car i remember hearing left and right the sound of bombs dropping on the roads and and um thinking, will the next one drop on our car? you know, you see the the targeting was the targeting of civilians and not necessarily hasillah fighters, even though the israeli regime today loves to time and again emphasize that it's targeting hazul love fighters. we've seen the footages ourselves, we we're live in a time of social media, we do not need officials to tell us what is being really targeted, we can see with our own eyes, six residential buildings being flattened in dahya in the southern suburb. of beirot, how can we possibly think that all those six buildings were uh where

where hazbullah fighters were located and they claim that those buildings hold weaponry, well we've seen the damage that has that has been inflicted, should there have been weapons, we would have seen those coming out in the fitages too, but we do not see that because it is a lie, they might be also targeting husball fighters, no doubt, but they are definitely uh carrying out an indiscriminate carpet bombing campaign in lebon. just as they had been carrying that out in gaza, we've seen it for the past year, so there's nothing new when it comes to that, the aggression is just as is much more vicious than before, and it continues to be so, because we don't we do not see any uh, you know, action coming from the international community, the only hope the people of lebanon at this point have is the resistance movement hizbullah and the allies of hizballah like the resistance movement in yemen, in iraq and in syria and so on. and roya uh leader of iran's islamic revolution ay khamene he had he let a fire prayer

prayers uh on friday obviously and uh in in that sermon once again he reiterated on unity and now you just mentioned as far when it comes to the the resistance front they're united there's strong unity there but what is lacking right now is the uh support and unity of regional arab leaders to stand behind the uh resistance and uh iran leader khami feels it would make huge difference in the equation on the ground in confronting the israeli regime, if we saw more unity in the region if a united resistance front that we're seeing had the unity. and support support and strength of other arab leaders standing behind it, well how would that impact the equation on the ground when confronting the uh leadership in tel aviv? yes, definitely, so this uh call for unity is not new, it's not something recent, we've been hearing that call, i've been hearing that call ever since was a kid, this call for unity has been uh was basically founded let's say by imam

khamaini when he you know declared the week of unity for muslim for shias and sunnies to be united and to not allow the enemy to so discord between them, so it's not something new, and we've been trying our best to create that unity with our muslim brothers and sisters in other regions of the world, not just here in tehran in iran, so um, that's definite, and this unity has been implemented, we've seen it translate into the resistance access, we've seen how the yemenes have been carrying out operations in solidarity with palestinians since october 7th, like after october 7th. happen and we've seen naturally since the very next day after october 7th, hazballah started its operation, began its operations in support of the palestinians against occupied territories, specifically those near the borders of souther of southern lebanon, so we've seen that, we've also seen the iraqi resistance uh you showing its unity, it solidarity with the

people of lebanon and gaza and even syria, so this muslim unity has been implemented. so to speak by the resistance factions and the resistance access and it is important to we we're out of time, i don't want to cut you off, but we still have to also get a romalic correspondent and check in with her uh shortly so we're gna have to leave it there, thank you for joining us and for your input from a terron studios roya poor from press tv news room joining us.
