we are now a member of our technical studies group in the country in asia. they should be present, but we must have seats. we must have those who study the achievements of the international community for us. let our education be based on the development and progress of football in countries like japan and south korea. we can hope to see our national team for the long term, yes, we can still hope because we are one of the top four teams in asia. it is true that we are now saying that we are perhaps the oldest team after lebanon, but we are the most experienced team in asia. considering that you approve of them from a technical point of view , talk about separating japan from asia . qalnai said that being the head coach in iran is more difficult than in brazil. it is more difficult than being the head coach of the brazilian national team as you expect, football in asia has progressed a lot and the last championship we won was about 48 years ago. at that time, our competitors were not that strong. we haven't progressed that much, but we have very good rivals .

how has west asia really changed since then? well, first thank. thank you for the receiving at your episode, it's my pleasure and honor to be here, other thing we need to talk about geopolitics, about strategic issues, about structural issues that have changed in recent times, but they have been going on for like since the advent of the islamic revolution, the advent of the islamic republic, what i can say simply in one sentence is that it it's it's behind and beyond any imagination that the... is without the islamic republic of iran, just imagine for one second, close your eyes and imagine that this word is without the islamic republic, what would have been the case, actually the word arrogance represented by the united states by the western powers that are accomplices of the united states, this imperialism that is spreading all over the world has been struck by the islamic republic has been faced and confronted by serious power that is accumulated. power that is accumulating strength that is standing up not only by having say

now the link between the continents on earth has been established in two ways, through land between asia, africa and europe, and through the oceans in americas, australia and antarctica. meanwhile some waterways, natural straights and artificial canals that were constructed later, had a strategic role in shaping the famous maritime corridors today for shipping to access the shortest and most cost-effective routes. choke points are the links that connect the sea and land. today, having control. over the strategic points gives astonishing powers to countries. some of the most important waterways in the world are the malaka, hormos, gibraltar, and babal mandandob strates as well as man-made canals like the suez and panama. the panama canal was constructed in 1914, so ships... the atlantic ocean, one have to turn all the way around south america. the straight of gibraltar connects the mediterranean to the atlantic ocean, between spain and morocco. it's been officially under british control since 1713. the cape of. good hope in the southern tip of africa serves as a link between the atlantic

islamic revolution was the source of inspiration for the peoples of the world and especially in west asia. certainly with without exaggeration and in a scientific and objective manner, we can say that the period before the victory of the islamic revolution in iran is not the same as the period after it. at the level of the conflict with the zionist enemy, one year before the revolution, egypt had signed the cam david peace agreement with the zionist enemy, and it was said that time that egypt's exit from the conflict meant that the conflict with this enemy had ended, and the agreement with jordan was added to it. many expected that the resistance against this enemy. would end after these agreements, but the victory of the islamic revolution in iran brought the region into new equation and into direct conflict with the zionist enemy. since the first days of the islamic revolution, iran has clearly stood against the israeli entity and as is known, it closed the israeli entity embassy and turne it into an embassy for the state of palestine and stated clearly that this entity is illegitimate
