with more than 90% success and was fully compliant with international laws, meant to deter israel from further escalation, this counter measure was taken based on the united nations charter, as iran took only military and intelligence objectives into consideration, with no civilian sights among its targets. operation true promise 2 was testimony to iran's full support of the resistance movement, above all heizbollah. it was message to the israel the regime that the country would not sit back idly when its main ally in the resistance access comes under attacks. a reminder to the occupation regime that overstepping iran's red lines would never go unpunished. after all the relations between iran and hezballah date back to decades ago and tehran is committed to safeguard it for the ultimate sake of security in the region come hell or high water. in iran five days of morning. have

in reviving its structure and addressing the issues that have led to such conditions for the group. i believe that iran will continue his policy of support for hizbollah in lebanon and will spare no effort in this regard, whether the actions are political or military. the loss of hasan nasarlah could create challenges for hesbollah, but the core strength of the organization remains intact, rather than destabilizing the group national law's assassination. has instilled a deep sense of commitment among its members ensuring that hezbulah will continue to pursue its objectives with unwavering resolve. an iranian journalist and expert on international affairs. the former secretary of general of hezbollah was also assassinated by the israeli regime. many believed that his assassination would undermine hisbullah. were
7:05 pm
very pleased about it, however, in the end, the world witnessed how his young successor of was able to elevate hisbullah to its highest level of capability and deliver severe. strikes to the zinanis regime. this formidable organization, known for its fierce resistance against israel, has repeatedly declared its intention to maintain its fight. with thousands of dedicated fighters, many of whom season veterans from the complex battles in syria, hezbollah is now more motivated than ever to seek justice for its cause. their arsenal remains robust, featuring a significant number of long-range precision guided missiles. another aspect of the story is that the resistance groups in the region enjoy a high and exemplary level of cohesion. following the recent assassinations in
7:06 pm
lebanon, more than 40,00 members of the resistance front have declared their readiness to voluntarily go to lebanon to confront israeli attacks. under such circumstances. iran should once again show israel that its strategic patience is not a sign of weakness, and the islamic republic can carry out retaliatory operations against israel whenever it chooses. again such backdrop, experts believe iran will not abandon hezbollah, even if it does not directly intervene in war between the group and israel as it didn't in 2006. back then, tehran did not directly engage with the regime when a devastating was unfolding, however, after that war, the iranians helped to rebuild and rearm this group, naturally, as the head of the resistance exess, iran must be able to manage the upcoming conditions, restore cohesion to the resistance axis and organize the situation
7:07 pm
for the future. in my opinion, iran does not wish to enter into an olote war with israel and prefers to utilize a step-by-step approach to contend. occupation regime, however, it may undertake military actions against israel a case-by-case basis to remind them of his deterrant power. hisbollah was founded in 1982 during the lebanese civil war in response to the israeli invasion of lebanon. the group was initially composed of various shia factions inspired by the iranian revolution of 1979, which put an end to the reign of the western back shah of iran who had amicable relations with israel. the islamic revolution's justice space ideals and its anti-western sentiment resonated with lebanese shias leading to a burgining connection between hezbollah and iran. iranian support provided hezbollah with ideological backing, military training and
7:08 pm
financial resources crucial for its establishment and growth against the israeli occupation regime. an iranian-based expert on lebanon. hamey this is not solarly due to ideological and belief related issues, there are also geopolitical reasons. as we know, hizbullah is at the forefront of the fight against the zionist regime. if hezballah is defeated, israel will expand its attacks and invade other countries. wars israel waged against syria on egypt and its attempts to occupy their lands in past decades illustrate this supporting hisballah from this perspective means countering israel's excessive ambitions. tehran is well aware of this issue and will make the best decision
7:09 pm
regarding it. throughout the 1980s and 1990s, iran continue to bolster hezbollah through direct military support, including training and armed supplies facilitating. by the irania revolution guard core. iran's support intensified during hezbollah's resistance to israeli occupation in south lebanon, particularly from 1982 until israel's withdrawal in 2000. this period solidified hesbollah's reputation as a resistance movement with iran positioning itself as key supporter of the group. the relationship was further solidified during and after the 2006 lebanon war where hesboolah. successfully confronted israeli forces, obtaining a moral and strategic victory and shattering israel's invincibility myth for the first time. the war not only cemented hesbollah status within lebanon, but also strengthened its ties to iran, which celebrated hezbulah as a symbol
7:10 pm
of resistance against israel and western hijimany in the region. the alliance between iran and hezballah took a new dimension as the war broke out in syria in 2011. then murder nasrolah opposed western-backed moves aimed at destabilizing president bashar al-assad's government through mercenaries and terrorists. hezbollah fighters became actively involved in c aligning with government forces to combat us-back extremist groups and to prevent the spread of extremism in the region. iran's financial and military support for hezballah also saw significant increases during this period, reinforcing their partnership. and assists this resistance group in lebanon. however, the claim that hezbulah is an iran and proxy force in the region is baseless, as well is very large organization that enjoys complete
7:11 pm
independence and has its own specific programs all aimed at defending the security of lebanon and strengthening the accessos of resistance. coordination among various groups within the acts of resistance does not imply lack of their independence and iran's assistance to hezbullah does not mean that hezbullah is an iranian proxy force. iran has always stated that it supports all resistance groups in the region to counter western germany. the presence of hisbullah forces in syria and iraq to fight daesh and hezbulah's engagement with israel to support the palestinian cause are all of hezbullah's own vision, not by iran's orders which affirms the independence of this group. despite all challenges, hezbollah and iran have remained committed to their alliance largely due to. to shared ideological goals and mutual interest in resisting western influence and

come at right time. the iranian response to the crimes of the israeli regime will come at the right time and according to iran's choice and will be determined at the highest levels. muhammad jawad zarif said in statements during memorial held for hisbollah secretary general hasan nasrullah. separately iranian parliament speaker mohammed bahar khalib conveyed a message of support for lebanon during a phone call with his lebanese counterpark nabih berry. according to the tassim news agency, galibof offered his condolences to berry regarding nasara's death. we are witnessing increase in the problems faced by the lebanese people and war refugees these days. as always, we stand by lebanon, kalibov emphasized. barry for his part retrated that the fight against israel would continue. irna. blood of national law promises victory of truth over falsehood. adokchi made the comment in a post he shared on his ex account in arabic language on sunday a day after. lebanon's hezbullah resist movement confirmed the martyrd of its secretary general hasan nasrulah an israeli
7:15 pm
air strike in beirot on friday. the iranian foreign minister in his post hailed nasrolah for being the commander of the first arab force to defeat the zinius regime and retake ocupied lebanese territory from the zinus enemy. adokchi also praised the assassinated hezbollah leader for the great victory he brought during the 2006 july war with israel saying that he now has the honor of being martered and path to liberate aluds, the blood of nastolah will certainly be the sign the victory of truth over falsehood, the top iranian diplomat added, and thank you for joining us in this section, please do stay tuned for the main nar. the assassination of hezbollah secretary general sent shock waves throughout the region, the big question was, what would be the reaction of iran, leader of the resistance access to this heinous crime? had israel's red lines and would the recent assassination act as the last straw? the
7:16 pm
answer to all these questions was yes, متعددی منتشر. as of now, multiple messages have been issued by iranian officials condemning this terrorist operation. iran considers itself committed to guaranteeing regional security, the security of the islamic ummah, and the security of the resistance front. however, the important point is that the fundamental solution to confront israel lies in the complete unity of the islamic ummah, the deafining silence of some arab leaders and worse, the collaboration of with israel is betrayal of the islamic world. iran will make every effort to defend the islamic world, hoping that others will join this resistance against the crimes of the zionists. the right side of history is clear. iran's initial reactions were measured, reflecting careful consideration of its available options. the leader of the islamic revolution emphasized
7:17 pm
solidarity with hezbollah without explicitly calling for immediate retaliation. in military confrontation with israel, israel will not take action against iran. the reality is that whatever option iran chooses will not be without risk. the conditions for selecting an optimal option do not exist, and every option will carry its own c. iran is certainly not seeking at. venture in the region, iranian officials bear the responsibility for the security of a country with a population of over 80 million, and undoubtedly any decision ultimately made will be to ensure this security in the country and the region. on the other hand, israel has suffered reparable blows in recent structure
7:18 pm
and its historical behaviors confirm this claim. therefore, any decision regarding israel's. abnormal behaviors must be taken with careful consideration, and iran has always acted accordingly in this regard. shortly after the israeli attack, the iranian parliament convened a closed session to discuss the assassination of the hezballah leader in beirot. during this meeting, law makers proposed various approaches to seek revenge and address the actions of the zionist regime. iran is determined not to play into the game orchestrated by israel. iranian officials have consistently asserted that they will not take actions to appease netanyahu or the israeli regime, even in april following the air strike on the iranian embassy in damascus that resulted in the deaths of several senior commanders of the islamic revolution guard core, iran's response was limited to launching missiles and drones despite the fact that a more severe retaliation was within their capacity.
7:19 pm
this measured response was intended as a warning from tehran. since then, israel progressively escalated its actions, inflicting blows to iran. while iran was attempting to avoid further confrontation with israel, this cautious approach, sometimes referred to as strategic patience domestically, had allowed israel to take more aggressive actions against iran and its allies in recent months, so enough was enough and a military action seemed inevitable. the israeli regime has consistently sought to frame the ongoing conflict as a war between. iran and israel, depicting hezballah and other resistance groups as proxies acting on iran's behalf against israel. in contrast, iran strives to portray the ongoing conflict as it really is, a struggle between israel and palestine. consequently, despite israel's efforts to drag iran into the conflict, iran remains committed to ensuring that the
7:20 pm
palestinian issue is not overshadowed by other concerns. it also see. to prevent the war from expanding into other regions, as such distractions could divert global attention from the palestinian cause, which it views as the foremost issue, but this doesn't mean that iran will not take military action by no means, an operation true promised to was carried out to hammer home this message as well. to show the real power the resistance and to cherish the palestinian cause, military action against the occupation regime must be an option, always on the table. these reports have no relation to reality, in the coming hours, days and weeks, the region should expect many events. whether we will witness
7:21 pm
an all-out war or not remains to be seen, but whatever happens, the resistance front will rehabilitate its reputation, and the zinis regime will not achieve its goals. the falsehood of these reports, which are part of the enemies psychological warfare will be exposed. israel seems happy after violating all international laws and human rights, but that wouldn't help the regime lot. its states are already numbered as it's face with unprecedented challenges from within and without. the regime can't get away with murder all the time, can it? mohammad jawad jamali, a former member of the iranian parliament's national security committee. شما وقتی ترور انجام میدی نشانه این هست که نمی توانی اقدامات. "when you resort to assassination, it means you cannot carry out proper military action, indicating that you are no longer the superior military power and
7:22 pm
must resort to desperate measures. before the victory of the islamic revolution and before the establishment of hizbullah, israel always conducted classic military attacks, but now it has turned to widerspread assassinations. the situation for the israeli regime is very unfavor. "the regime has lost its credibility in the world and now there are wider spread protests against israel across the gl. this means that the situation has turned against israel. in the past, supporting israel had no cost, but now the circumstances have changed, and conditional support for israel comes with a price and brings public pressure. whatever the case may be, the situation will progress a way that israel will regret it." crimes and its recent assassinations. hezbollah is not merely an organization, it embodies powerful idea and a resilient ideology rooted in the
7:23 pm
service of the lebanese nation. this movement has always prioritized a security policy dedicated to countering the israeli occupation and defending the legitimate rights of the palestinians. time and again the israelis have attempted to undermine this formidable lebanese movement by targeting its leaders for. assassination, yet, despite these efforts, hazballah has transformed into an unquenchable flame, one that cannot be snuffed out by bombs or missiles. while the regime may strike at will and inflict blows on the resistance fighters, history has proven that hisbullah is indefatigable, it has risen from the ashes before, and it will do so again. that's what true resistance looks like: killing leaders does not extinguish movement. the spirit of hezballah is alive and thriving, fueled by the unwaving commitment to justice and liberation. اسرائیل در یک وضعیت دشواری قرار گرفته. political
7:24 pm
crisis and consecutive elections on one hand, an unstable economy following operational, the displacement of hundreds of thousands of israelies over the pasture, wide spread protest against. netanyahu and the instability of his position as prime minister of israel have made it impossible for this regime to make long-term strategic decisions. consequently it resorts to actions such as assassination and air strikes to pretend victory. however, we all know that these actions will not year the desired results for israel. although this edition of iran today was produced before iran's operation true promise to. and the experts interviewed in this show didn't know that the operation was underway, they all asserted that the islamic republic is in full control of the situation and will take the best decision, be it a
7:25 pm
military or non-military option. while time will tell if tehran has made the best decision or not, one thing is clear. israel needs to think twice before taking any further action against iran or its allies, otherwise the price the regime has to pay would be much higher. that's all for today, thank you for watching from the whole team, please do join us against same times next week to see what else is on, till next time, take care.
