iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei has denounced iran's enemies for trying to sow the seedsin the islamic world, as he led friday prayers in tehran for the first time in five years. the ayatollah told a huge crowd in the grand mosalla mosque that iran and its allies must roll up their sleeves and prepare for action. the ceremony began with commemorations for the hezbollah leader, hassan nasrallah, who was killed here in beirut by israel last week. iran fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles into israel on tuesday night in retaliation for his assassination, and israel is expected to hit back. israel has continued to intensify its attacks on hezbollah across lebanon. a lebanese security source says an israeli strike has wounded three hezbollah—linked rescue workers in the southern suburbs of beirut. overnight, a big strike hit the same area, with israeli officials saying the target was the man tipped to succeed the assassinated hezbollah chief, hassan nasrallah. of course, he was killed a week ago today. as yet, no sign or indication from hezbollah who his replacement might be. t

but i think also ayatollah ali khamenei does not want to engage in war with israel. at the week as they have been most domestically and regionally, the most isolated domestically and regionally. looking closer at that, what is the state of iran's military capability, especially when you look at a series of blows to its proxies in the past year? i think iran was counting on these proxies as a form of deterrence. those proxies have been weakened fundamentally. despite of the bombast, the iranian regime response, the way they cover it is an enigma wrapped in a mystery covered with bombast. i think they know well hezbollah has been weakened and hamas is a shadow of what it was before and the iranian regime has been shown to be vulnerable. the israelis claim they flew over tehran without any interference from iran's anti—air defence system. and iran obviously denies it, but clearly, i think, ayatollah ali khamenei knows this is not a battle he can win and he is trying to do everything he can to make it look like this was not very serious. but i think they will make some g

exactly um as uh we all know the last time that um the leader of the islamic revolution sayid ali khamenei led the friday prayers was uh five years ago about five years ago when um general was martered on um in um the najaf in iraq actually excuse me and um so after many years again on this friday ' the leader has decided to come out and deliver um um the sermons of the friday prayers and also leave the prayers um about two months ago um our leader left um um the prayers for um martered here in tehran in the iranian um soil actually and um this this um that prayer showed that sunni and shiah are united there is uh no difference between them and all the muslims are united and they stand by each other to support um the muslim nations and today very very significant actually even though the israeli regime has been threatening. iran um with many different types of um messages coming from um the from the israeli regime from uh benjamin netanyahu and his commanders actually but as you see no one is scared i mean they were thinking that people of iran will be scared or they will be by threatening

ali khamenei said the operation was the least punishment that the israeli regime deserved for its crimes in the region. he vowed that if needed, iran will attack israeli occupied territories again. the leader made the remarks during the friday prayer sermons in tehran. khamenei said the israeli regime's crimes will eventually lead to the annihilation of what he call. this blood thirsty wolf, the leader urged muslim unity against israel and said any blow to the regime is a service to the entire humanity stressed that israel continues its existence thanks to us support, he said washington seeks to control regional resources via the israel regime. iran's foreign minister calls on islamic and arab countries to make all out efforts to expose the aspects of israel's crimes and illegal actions in the region. abbas araqchi made the remarks in a meeting with the lebanese prime minister najib mighati. the top iranian diplomats reiterated his country's determination to support lebanon's people and government as well as the lebanese resistance in the face of the israeli aggression. for his part, mig

that was one of the things that came out in the speech of ali khamenei today, this muslim solidarity. oil facilities solidarity if you're hitting oilfacilities in solidarity if you're hitting oil facilities in gulf states, for example, so the iranians need to make sure they don't bring too many actors into this fight. it is their fight with israel, if they can prevent it becoming a regional issue. mex. becoming a regional issue. alex vatanka, thank _ becoming a regional issue. alex vatanka, thank you _ becoming a regional issue. alex vatanka, thank you for - becoming a regional issue. alex vatanka, thank you forjoining us. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a metropolitan police officer has been charged over the death of 81—year—old helen holland, who was killed in a crash with a motorcycle that was part of an escort for the duchess of edinburgh. christopher harrison, who's 67, is accused of causing death by careless driving after the incident in west london last may. he's due to appear before magistrates next month. wom

iran's leader said ali khamenei has called on the nation's elite and scientists to spear head efforts in achieving. scientific and technological dominance over adversaries, in a highly anticipated annual gathering he stressed the role of knowledge and innovation in fortifying the nation's position and it's growing regional challenges. farzan ashuron reports: gripped by an overwhelming sense of pride and honor as they stand before the nation's leader, the annual gathering of iranian elit, and leader of iran's islamic revolution said ali khamenei is rare and highly anticipated event for those lucky enough to be invited. this is not just a privilege, but also an opportunity for them to gain a deeper understanding of the complex geopolitical landscape of west asia. ما جنسش از جنس اعضای سیدالشهدا علیه السلامه. زنده و زنده کننده است. به نظر من مهمترین زمینه نقبگی بهره هوشی است. در این. thank god we had the opportunity to meet the leader of the islamic revolution today, as teacher, it was very important for me to hear his advice, which i believe can guide us in achieving our goals. being her

we attentively listen to the speech of imam sad ali khamenei, the leader of the islamic republic of iranted in the blow iron inflected on israel with more than 200 ballistic missiles even while the regime believed. had prevented such action, in fact iran's response was contrary to the expectations of designs. iran's foreign minister says teran will support any effort for sease fire in lebanon under gaza's trip. we back the efforts for a cease fire provided that first rice to the libines people are respected and it is accepted by the resistance. second, it comes simultaneously with the seas fire in gaza. tehran will continue supporting lebanon and hisbollah resistance movement. he called iran's attack on the occupied territories as legitimate self-defense based on the un charter principles, the top diplomat earlier met with lebanese prime minister najib mikati. in the meeting he called on islamic and arab countries to make all out efforts to expose the aspects of israel's crimes and illegal acts in the region. for his part, mccarti said the israeli attacks on his country amounted to war c

keep in mind is that between qassem soleimani, the slain general hassan nasrallah, and ayatollah ali khamenei, there was a major bond that was formed during the time of the israeli incursion into lebanon, into thousand and six. in fact, the three wrote a book together later with a man that's a part of that book dealing with that 2006 incursion. so certainly there was a very special place for hassan nasrallah with the supreme leader. certainly there was a lot of support, of course, also from iran for hezbollah and the iranians are saying that that continues. and of course, we did have that major strike on israeli territory by the iranians it's happening not after the hamas leader ismail haniyeh was killed in tehran, after hassan nasrallah was then also killed in beirut. and i think the iranians are showing just how big a thing the killing of hassan nasrallah was for them. of course, the iranians are also trying to display the power of their missile forces that they have and one of the interesting caveats in all of this is also is that the same department of the revolutionary guard corps? that'

for the the the prayers today, actually, as you said, today the leader of the islamic revolution ali khamenei will be performing the friday prayers and he will be also delivering the sermons of the friday prayers and um everyone here um is united for the iranian nation and they are expressing their solidarity for the muslim brothers and sisters in palestine. and as we are speaking israel um the israeli regime is still bombarding um and continuing its um war on bayrut and and also continuing this genocidal war on gaza um and um as we are um as you can as you have the images actually um today the people are here and they are all saying that they are appreciating irgc attack, legitimate attack on um the israel territories and also this these people are here to for um to express their anger for the martterdom of the hamamas chief ismail, hisbullah leader and also irgc commander abraham, before the leader speaks, there will be a ceremony to commemorate sayid, the leader of the lebanese resistance movement and his companions who were martered in an israeli air strike in beirot last week earlier uh

it was a rare public appearance by ayatollah ali khamenei, the spiritual leader of iran, and he used it to justify his country's missile attack this week on israel. he claimed the barrage of ballistic missiles was completely legal and the "minimum punishment" israel deserved for what he called its "astonishing crimes" for the first time in nearly five years, the ayatollah was delivering friday prayers at the grand mosque in tehran. he called israel a "vampire regime" and the united states a "rabid dog". meanwhile, us presidentjoe biden has said in the last hour that he doesn't think israel has yet decided how to respond to the iranian attacks. he said it should look for "other alternatives" rather than hitting iranian oil facilities. another development is that the us military have attacked 15 houthi targets in yemen. houthi rebels, like hezbollah and hamas, are backed by iran. and in lebanon, there've been more israeli air strikes targeting hezbollah. lebanese authorities say more than 37 people have been killed in israeli ground and air attacks in the past 2a hours. an israeli air

iran's supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, promised that the killing of hassan nasrallah would notut before any iranian retaliation, neta nyahu attacked iranian—backed groups in yemen and syria — and it didn't stop there. israel's military says its troops have crossed the border into southern lebanon. israel launched the ground invasion into southern lebanon, the first in 18 years, in what it called limited, localised and targeted raids against hezbollah to return displaced israelis to their homes in the north. despite israel's massive blows to hezbollah, this remains a very challenging operation. israel doesn't only have hezbollah to contend with. tonight at 6:00, as we come on, air missiles from iran _ have been fired towards israel. 0n the 1st of october, the region held its breath. tonight's escalation comes in| response to israel's overnight invasion of southern lebanon. aalmost 200 ballistic missiles were launched by iran. the israeli defense forces said most were intercepted by israel's extensive defensive capabilities. but the idf said some struck central and southern israe

in this context, the leader of iran's islamic revolution, ayatollah sayid ali khamenei, shared a tweetw, drawing attention from over 3 million people. in his tweet, he emphasized the irreparable nature of israel's defeat in the october 7th. both in terms of military and intelligence. everyone acknowledged the defeat, but the irreparable aspect is of greatest significance. he went want to state, i would argue that this seismic event has succeeded in dismantling some of the fundamental underpinnings of the usurping regimes governance, elements that are not easily reconstructed. in the wake of the recent conflicts, story of shifting dynamics unfolds, one that has far reaching implications for israel and its standing on the world stage. israel has long rested a foundation of soft power, narrative, woven around the bedrock of security, meticulously crafted over decades. institutions like the mosad, shinbed and idf have played a pivotal role in maintaining this sense of security. however, the recent war challenged the very essence of this narrative. israeli settlers found themselves grapplin

al-khomeini, may god bless him and grant him peace, as we promise you, o imam al-qa'id al-sayed ali khamenei. seyyed abbas mousavi, the secretary general of hezbollah, along with his wife and young son , were martyred by the israeli army. a day later, seyed hassan nasrallah was announced as the new secretary general of hezbollah. nasrallah was not more than 31 years old by that time, but he had experienced many events until that year. describing his childhood, he says: we didn't know eid and holidays and we didn't know what they meant. he did not travel and have fun the poor also had an ingrained custom and did not exist in our house, and this was the result of poverty. nasrallah was 15 years old when the lebanese civil war started. shortly before the start of the war, nasrallah's family had migrated from southern lebanon to beirut to get rid of livelihood problems. that is why he witnessed the war closely. some time later, nasrallah's family returned to their village bazourieh in southern lebanon to escape the fire of war. during in this war, imam musa sadr formed the action group to defend

, the annual gathering of iranian elit and leader of iran's islamic revolution, ayatollah said ali khamenei, is rare and highly anticipated event for those lucky enough to be invited. this is not just a privilege, but also an opportunity for them to gain a deeper understanding of the complex geopolitic. اساس مشکل ناشی از حضور همون کسانیست که دم از صلح و آرامش منطقه می زنن یعنی آمریکا و بعضی از کشورهای اروپایی اینا اگر شرشون رو از این منطقه کم بکنن بدون شک این درگیری ها این جنگ ها این برخوردها. در عضا هستیم اما اعضای ما به معنی ماتم گرفتن و افسرده شدن و یه گوشه نشستن نیست اعضای ما جنسش از جنس اعضای سیدالشهدا علیه السلامه زنده و زنده کننده است. آیت الله خامنه ای. to meet the leader of the islamic revolution today, as teacher, it was very important for me to hear his advice, which i believe can guide us in achieving our goals. being here is wonderful opportunity to share our concerns with the leader and receive his advice and solutions. the meeting overall accentuated the crucial role of iran's elit and scientific minds as the most valuable resources the country possesses. every year hundreds

fighters the entire islamic community spoke, but the muslim command is the call of imam seyed ali khamenei to rise up for palestine and lebanon and confront israel. his sermons called this battle the battle between the yazid front and today's supreme leader of the revolution, ayatollah khamenei, in the front of imam hussein (peace be upon him). today , the resistance and the blood that has been shed and will be shed and the blood of the precious martyr seyed hassan nasrallah will shape the future of the region and save the region from this cancer. we according to the nations of the region from this war led by global imperialism america has created in the region will come out victorious. greetings to the great nation of iran and greetings to the supreme leader of iran, ayatollah khamenei, who announced in his friday prayer sermons that he will support the nations of the region against the barbaric aggression of the american zionists. these crimes are committed against a nation that does not fall under the burden of oppression and slavery. ayatollah khamenei completely feels solidarity with

speaking to an audience in tehran, the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei said iranian officials mustide how best to show iran's "power and capability." translation: well, they did something — translation: well, they did something wrong. _ translation: well, they did something wrong. of - translation: well, they did something wrong. of course l translation: well, they did - something wrong. of course they are exaggerating it. their exaggeration is wrong. but note that downplaying this as wrong as well. it is wrong to say it was trivial and not important. israel's prime minister says the airstrikes damaged iran's ability to defend itself and to produce missiles. addressing a memorial ceremony for soldiers who were killed during and after the october 7th attacks, benjamin netanyahu said that israel �*fulfilled its promise' to retaliate against iranian attacks on its cities. we fulfilled our promise, we hit hard around's defence capabilities and its ability to produce missiles that are aimed at us. the attack on iran was precise and powerful, and achieve dollars its objectives. —— achiev

immediately after the september 17 pager bombings in lebanon, ali khamenei sent a message to hezbollaheral hassan nasrola asking him to leave for iran. khamenei cited intelligence reports that israel had agents in hezbollah and that tel aviaf was planning to eliminate nasrola. coincidence or not, the previous hezbollah leader abbas al-musawi was also killed by the israelis. al-musawi called israel a cancerous tumor of the middle east and promised to erase any mention of israel in palestine. in 1992, the helicopter in which he was flying with his wife and son was shot down by the israeli army. everyone on board died. the united states, canada, egypt, and israel consider hezbollah a terrorist organization. in 2018, the us state department called it one of the largest criminal organizations in the world. some eu countries, france, the netherlands, germany, and australia, britain, they do. russia does not consider hezbollah a terrorist group, officially explaining that it is a legitimate socio-political force in lebanon and has not committed terrorist attacks on russian territory. hamas is

al-khamini, may god bless him and grant him peace, as we say, sidi iha al-imam al-qa’id al-sayyid ali khamenei had not passed a few months from the general secretary of seyyed abbas mousavi, when he was martyred along with his wife and son in a terrorist attack by zionist military helicopters, seyyed hassan nasrallah in 1371 and when he became the general secretary of hizbullah and in his first speech he said: al-ghadah al-karimiyah , the one who must not be saved, and the one who must not be killed even. the descent of man. hezbollah's activity in the first years was focused on the implementation of martyrdom operations against israeli forces. but gradually this method changed. the forces of this party in response to the assassination of general secretary seyyed abbas mousavi. at that time, hezbollah fired katyusha rockets for the first time towards the zionist settlements in the north of occupied palestine. but the most important victory of hezbollah since the establishment of the resistance in lebanon in 1379 2000 was achieved and the zionist army was forced to leave lebanon after 22 years.
