he writes, in their view, our war against bashar assad did not begin with the peaceful civil protests with the peaceful civil protests of the arab spring in 2011, instead it began in 2000 when qatar proposed to construct a 10 billion, $1 and a half thousand kilometer pipeline through saudi arabia, jordan, syria and turkey. to see whether kennedy's claims are true or false, we go back to the year 2000. as you are aware, russia is the biggest producer and exporter of natural gas with europe being its biggest customer. the russians export 70% of their produced natural gas to europe. this means a steady source of income for the russians. russia has been using this as a tool to put pressure on europe. for example, when european countries in 2009 sided with ukraine in its price dispute with russia's gas company gasprom, the russians turned off the gas taps in response.

in a 2016 interview with an italian news outlet, bashar assad explained the issue of the pipeline and no to qatar in the beginning of the war? it is one of the important factor that it wasn't offered to... publicly, but i think it was planned, there was two roots crossing syria, one of them is north, south, which is related to qatar as you just mentioned, and the other one was east, west to the mediterranean that cross iraq from iran, and i don't think many countries who opposed the policy of syria didn't want syria to be uh, hub of power of energy, whether electricity or or oil or even uh... uh cross roads of railways and and so on. later an interview with russia today, the wikileaks founder showed cable that revealed saudi arabia and qatar were providing military assistance to anti-government-armed groups and even isis in syria. early 2014 email from hillary clinton, so not so long after she left secretary of state, to her campaign manager, john pedesta, uh, that email, it states uh, that isel, isis is uh funded by saudi arabia and qatar, the governments of saudi arabia and qatar, n

iran on the bashar-assad regime, the syrian government, but there we know that it is balanced by russiaery strong position, of course, iran’s influence on yemen, but this is a primitive idea of ​​the houthis, as just iranian proxies, this is wrong, this is a coalition that includes a variety of forces, to the surprise of many, it must be said that... and socialist forces, there are communists there, there are sunnis there, iran has strengthened its position in afghanistan, of course, so we must understand this some kind of confederation, or perhaps different groups with their own interests, with their leaders, with their own history, the leader of which is iran, a certain subregion arose, i would call it that under the influence of iran, and we must not forget. not so hot, this is a serious, perhaps one of the biggest political problems for saudi arabia, along with contradictions within the family itself, most of the ruling family, most of the population of iraq are shiites, there are also different groups there, the same baghdad, for example, divided, here you have it these groups are

syria, because it all started precisely because of america’s policy, they were trying to overthrow bashar-assadtting on someone, on radicals, on islamists in syria, just a few days ago, the israelis launched another blow on syria, which... surprised me , because this time the attack was not on pro-iranian groups, one of the members of the leadership of the syrian liberation army was killed, this is an opposition group that was nurtured by the americans, i looked at why the israelis suddenly hit one of the representatives, but because the israelis discovered that this group and some of its militants maintained ties with... hamas in palestine, so why did you rely on islamic radicals in washington? who negotiated with the taliban in afghanistan? is considered by the un definition, according to our terrorist lists, it is still considered a terrorist organization, now it is in power, because there is no alternative, there is no alternative after the americans sat there for several decades and did what they did, here is the answer, iran, therefore, attacked syria, in pakistan, on the targets of a rad

iran on the bashar-assad regime, the syrian government, but there we know that it is balanced by russiaind of confederation of different groups, with their own interests, with their leaders, with their own history, as if the leader of which... iran, such a certain one arose subregion, i would call it that, under the influence of iran, and we must not forget the growth of iran in iraq itself, because for the americans this is horror, they planned to put iraq under complete control, but we see how tehran’s influence is growing in this region as a whole, but i say again, to simplize and say that tehran was given a command, they began to carry it out, this is not happening, let ’s be clear, maybe one of the biggest political problems for saudi arabia, along with the contradictions within the family itself, is big part of the ruling family, most of the population of iraq are shiites, there are also different groups; baghdad, for example, is divided , here you have these groups listed ; again, syria, the majority of the population are sunnis. but allawites, shiites and christians also united

own interests, they pursue their politics - in lebanon, the influence of iran on the regime of bashar al-assads balanced by russia, which also very... strong positions, of course, the influence of iran on yemen, but such a primitive idea of ​​​​the houthis as simply iranian misdeeds is wrong, this is a coalition that includes a variety of forces, to the surprise of many, it must be said that there are also socialist forces , there are communists there, there are sunnis there, iran has strengthened its position in afghanistan, of course, but we must understand that this is some kind of confederation of different groups. with its own interests, with its own leaders, with its own history, as if the leader of which is iran, a certain subregion arose, i would call it under the influence. iran and we must not forget the growth of iran in iraq itself, because for the americans this is horror, they planned to put iraq under complete control, but we see how tehran’s influence is growing in this region as a whole, but i say again, it will be simplistic and say, that the tehrans gave a command, they bega

there were connections with russia and dilu, because it was necessary to preserve the regime of bashar al-assad to show that there are forces that are still scarier than bashar al-assad, shoot a corresponding video there with these beheadings and other horrors, demonizing in this case all these things and - working with them the way the kgb worked at one time, and all this gave certain fruits, until... in this case, the countries of the west are in a certain collapse, because on the one hand , a military response is needed, and on the other hand , this military response will not necessarily entail certain casualties both among civilians and among the military, and the west is not ready for this, let's look at the reactions to the palestinian issue, which is huge supporting the palestinian movement in the west and condemning what israel is doing there... is doing something to help israel, that's the same, even if, for example, 10 or 15 years ago after the terrorist attacks of september 11, the so-called progressive society viewed islam in general as- demonic force that came there to destroy the

will go to another place and ambulances will move the second one, it's pochi... which resembles bashar assadles isis, and which also resembles vladimir putin. therefore, there is an opinion that these terrorist attacks were carried out by the iranians themselves. authorities in order to raise the level of tension, because so many in irish society no longer share this eternal palestinian theme, that they say the iranians must always take care of palestine, while palestine is already largely under the control of israel, and himself iran is not doing anything to put it israel is under threat, and finally also according to the reports of the iranian opposition. all the closest relatives of kasim sulaimani were not present at this ceremony, they were warned that for security reasons, it is better for them not to be there, it is clear that some kind of conspiracy version is possible here, but i think the next month or two will show how the events in irani, what will be the policy, what will be the statements, who will be declared guilty, but the terrorist attack really raises a lot of doubts, sinc

majority of the population is sunni, but allawites, shiites and christians have united around bashar-assadle, the islamists, simply will be subjected to total massacre. lebanon is traditionally split along religious lines, it is laid down in the constitution, so you know, it is not carried out in lebanon. second year population census, and why? because the alignment of ethnic groups, political, in which only a christian maronite can be president, and only a sunni can be prime minister. the head of the parliament is only shiite, their deputy there is divided among the orthodox, and so this was recorded at the time of the thirties, since then a census has not been carried out, so as not to displace this alignment, plus palestinian refugees, in fact, this is such a subtle tangle of contradictions that has been developing not only over the years, over centuries in a region with its own history, but when the americans got in there, they not only stirred up this tangle of interests, but they led to a growing... ... such an explosion, and what we are now seeing is a crisis of the entire american

government troops launched an offensive. speaking on the side of bashar al-assad, but after the expulsion of the terrorists, the kurds from the syrian democratic forces, the sdf fully supported the americans who controlled the oil fields to the northeast. brings the desired result, the zionist regime decided to increase pressure on iran because tehran supports various resistance movements. there is an attempt to intensify terrorist activities inside iran, but from adjacent territories. after the americans, there was nothing left from iraq, no money, no military strength, nothing. and who is in charge here now? those associated with iran. only iran benefited from the american occupation. soldiers of allah is a baloch sunni rebel organization. it was created in 2003 year is also known as the iranian popular resistance movement. its militants attacked military, police and civilians. they explained their actions by saying that they were fighting the oppression of the sunni minority by the shiite authorities. however, they operated mainly in baluchestan. the historical territory is at the junc

allegedly by mistake, knowing that daesh is the main enemy and the main weapon with the regime of bashar al-assad not so loudly, otherwise suddenly the weapons will be accidentally dropped by mistake at the location of the troops, which means - according to the legislation of the russian federation, the americans recognize her and are ready to continue communicating with her, well, what kind of fight against terrorism is this, and now, when rapprochement between... uh, damascus and ankara is on the agenda , it is the leader of gyatahersham al-julani, he is preventing this, he is escalating hostilities , there - per day, sometimes more than one or two attacks take place on soldiers of the syrian regular army in the province of idlib, who can influence giuliani, only either ankara or the united states, that’s how things really stand with terrorism. we can remember how in the eighties and the united states actively supported the afghan mujahideen and supported the very fact of the transfer to the region, as volunteers, mainly of islamic fundamentalists from various countries of the middle east and n

iran declares while it encourages and supports movements like ansar lebanon and president bashar assaddoes not actually control them. do you take issue with enabler, that word? >> i don't know what they mean by enablers and i don't know who wrote this comment, qatar is a next door neighbor to tehran. largest gas field in the world. our relationship, based on common interest and good neighborhood. >> bret: do you think the u.s. should push back retaliate on these attacks and if the attack that is retaliation, ends up being inside iran, is that acceptable to qatar? >> we fully respect what the u.s. decision and the way they would handle that but i think that at this moment for all of us, cooler heads are needed. we need resort to diplomacy and contain the situation and focus on resolving the issue. >> bret: after the war ideally the war comes to an end between israel and hamas. will the have any role in that region? >> it's not for us to decide usama bin laden. but this is a question that's being posed by for a lot of time. i think the people who are deciding the fate of any palestinian

iraq is of course a great ally of iran, its next door neighbor, okay, we're going to get rid of bashar al-assad, the syrian president, well he's there, but the us cia led effort to cost hundreds of thousands of deaths in the interrum. the us said we're going to make libya in our image and uh bombed libya in 2011 uh and overthrew the government of mohamar khaddafi and unleashed a war, i was gonna say civil war, well there is a civil war in libya, but it's a war. throughout africa now, because what spilled out of libya was armaments and jihadists and mercenaries that have spread throughout much of central and western africa by now. the us said, we're going to overthrow yanukovic, the ukrainian president in february 2014, the new government's going to call for nato enlargement, we're going to move in. that was the biden, sullivan, newland. plan uh and what do we have? we have a war that has been raging for nine years in which ukraine is getting picked to pieces because our side completely blew it, so there was another absurd article by one of the pagan family, man named frederick hagan who works a

haraj in the positions in syria, which failed all the plans that were aimed at overthrowing bashar's regime. assad and they hold hajj qasim responsible for the failures in the international coalition that hit yemen, and they also hold hajj qasim responsible and they hold hajj qasim responsible for the rockets that were launched from gaza to the entire country. all this zionism was increasing day after day in the estimation of the american administration. this man must be eliminated. we went to the same house again . we went down to the room. it was haji's rug, and with that, i mean , i was only able to put haji's rug back on its place , and i only saw the same rug next to the table. there is a letter on their desk under a pen , it was thrown away, then i picked up this paper, my eyes fell on this paper, i said, "what is this paper , i looked at it like this, you put it in my hand, god , please accept me as pure, god, i love data, i saw it like vinegar, what happened to reza, mr. seyed?" haji may he knew that he wanted to be a martyr. what are you saying? reza said , "no, don't eat. bring the lette

bashar al-assad said such outrageous acts confirmed the extent of the terrorist failure in making theonal interests. condemning the blast turkish president recep typ erdogan said turkey stands by iran in the fight against terrorism. iraq's top sharick grand ayatollah ali al-sistani decried the killing of innocent people in iran and extended his condolences to the families of the victims. saudi foreign ministry. bam the terrorist operation against civilians in iran, the un chief also strongly denounced the attack, calling for those responsible to be held accountable. the secretary general calls for those responsible to be held accountable, and the secretary general expresses his deep condolences to the berieved families and the people and the government of the islamic republic of iran, and he wishes the injured a speedy recovery. um, turning to gaza, we have the un security council has also condemned the quote "cowardly terrorist attack in the strongest teams, the international body call for the perpetrators to be brought to justice, the european union blasted the bombings as an act of

when the isis invasion began, the kurds stubbornly resisted them, siding with bashar al-assad.after the expulsion of the terrorists, the kurds from the syrian democratic forces, the sdf fully supported the americans, who controlled the oil fields in the northeast of the country. that's where 60% is located. living conditions, but there is still opposition, this kurdistan freedom party. from the moment it became clear that the israeli attack on gas was not bringing the desired result, the zionist regime. decided to increase pressure on iran because tehran supports various resistance movements. there is an attempt to intensify terrorist activities inside iran, but from adjacent territories. after the americans, there was nothing left from iraq, no money, no military strength, nothing. and who is in charge here now? those associated with iran. only iran benefited from the american occupation. we hoped that the americans will leave, and we will live a peaceful life. normal life, but now the iranians don’t allow us to do that. iran generally believes that now they will get everythin

yes, pricom the united states began direct bombing and missile attacks against bashar assad's troopsyou here, i would not create any illusions, but with one exception: trump will strike at transatlantic relations, at relations between the united states and its allies, and may destabilize it. according to economists and ukrainian officials, without help from the united states or europe, ukraine will run out of money within a few months. she will be forced to go to painful economic measures to keep the government running. the country faces a fiscal deficit of more than $40 billion this year, slightly less than in 2023 . funding from the us and eu was expected to cover approximately $30 billion of the amount. this money is necessary for the government to continue paying salaries, pensions and social assistance. to the population, as reported by the ministry of finance of ukraine, in order to cover budget expenses until the end of february, the country’s authorities imposed an excess profit tax on banks, redistributed part of tax revenues and increased the volume of domestic loans. kiev

etc. and then where there was a chemical weapons attack which they pinned on syrian president bashar al-assad, but obama backed down, he didn't go ahead and implement that red line'. "and i think what you're seeing now with yemen is quite similar, you have a president who's responding to certain domestic pressures, now i think the danger lies in the fact that after carrying out this operation, what if the amenies retaliate, what will the american response to that be, because biden, particularly now in an election year, i think wants to be seen as being some kind of tough guy, promoting that tough guy image, so if the yeminies retaliate you..." might see, possibly, i'm not certain, you might see another american retaliation, and then the situation could snowball, i think that's the dangerous scenario. john, the iraqi prime minister has said that baghdad wants a quick withdrawal of the quote unquote destabilizing us forces from iraq now baghdad has not yet set a deadline but still uh iraqi politicians uh uh they have a historic opportunity to expel uh us from iraq, how close are we to seeing th

mission that destroyed the bashar al-assad regime's chemical weapons in syria, so i can say it she has what it takes to get it done and she has america's full support and must have israel's full support as well. to date we also discussed the phase transition of israel's military campaign in gaza and how israel can achieve its essential goal of ensuring october 7 can never be repeated and we believe israel has achieved significant progress towards this objective. as this campaign moves to a lower intensity faith in gaza and israel scales down its forces we agreed to a plan with the u.n. to carry out an assessment mission to determine what needs to be done to allow displaced palestinians to return safely to homes in the north. this will not happen overnight. there are serious challenges, but the mission will start a process that evaluates these obstacles and how they can be overcome. in today's meetings i was also crystal clear, palestinian civilians must be able to return home as soon as conditions allow and must not be pressed to leave gaza. as i told the prime minister, the united sta

again the legitimate government of bashar al-assad invited iran and uh russia, not uh turkey or unitedowing the double standard of the united states that uh when it is in their interest and they thought that their national security uh needs such a you know action against international law uh they would go, they don't need any any permission from anywhere, they do... whatever they want and in the case of iran's to act boldly against the terrorist group around its country, around its border, they said about the international law, which is which is not correct, so as you said the the in the interest of the united state, united states wanted some weak government in the region in the middle east and government that is completely under you. states influence, so the fact that the 1979 islamic revolution in iran uh completely changed this dynama in the in the region and um nowadays the the iran is is kind of um message to other countries in the region that you can uh have your independence, you can uh have your own security doctrine and economic and political doctrine inside your country and t

where the united states has forces illegally there, in the government in damascus, president bashar al-assad has asked for the us to go, they won't go, so it's a question of one of imperialism, one of orientalism, and seeing of course these countries as vassals of the united states. mr. lali said that uh, there are still 2 and f around 2,500 us troops stationed in iraq, so what is the us's real intentions of staying in iraq, seven years after the defeat of daesh, and also your thoughts on analys saying that the us presence is actually causing more instability in the region, there is no doubt in my mind that the us presence is causing instability, that is fact, and we recognize that and we know that because everywhere the us goes, they bring with them destruction. datas, color revolutions and so on and so forth, the main idea here for us to analyze is why the us has stayed after all of these years since the defeat of daesh, and we recognize and we can understand that the reason isn't about daesh, the reason isn't about iraq, the reason is ultimately about iran, the reason is to have a militar

to be fighting daesh, was in fact of course attempting to remove the government of president bashar al-assad in syria in a regime change operation supported by number of other countries apart from the outside of the west, so "in the west people have this idea that this is a that uh sulaymani was a terrorist, that he was possibly even in alliance with daesh, and because of course in the west there's this idea that that any muslim who is engaged in uh armed violence or in resistance uh is part of the same sort of threat to the west, now people have no idea about the reality, and so the reality of course is that as everyone knows outside of the west or..." "most people know that uh salmani led the fight against daesh and - was was was in large measure responsible as is the president of iraq put it for the defeat of daesh and of course in ensuring the security and st stability of west asia and of course west asia is not stable at present and we have all sorts of threats to stability most obviously and most pointedly at the very present time uh the genocide in gaza. "now of course he uh, salmani

well, syria and iran, president bashar al—assad has become highly dependent on iranian support duringivil war or the uprising in syria since 2011. the iranians have sent advisers and even fighters, according to some sources, to help president assad. also, they called upon hezbollah in lebanon to come to the aid of the syrian president. so there is a very sort of strong organic relationship, but it is very much the iran is is the superior partner in this relationship while the syrian president is the weaker part. and just to underline as well, the reports of who is behind this are from state media in iran and syria. what about any response from israel? in these incidents, israeli media quotes foreign sources. so it's only quoting the syrian sources and reuters saying they claim that israel was behind this, but there's no official claim or admission of responsibility by israel. and what are some of the theories then about why this strike may have been carried out? well, there is like a proxy war in the middle east going on between israel and iran. we've seen that with hezbollah in south

wasn't, always there was a policy of divide and rule, let's remember how they saved, for example, bashar al-assadet they did not dare to demolish him, despite the war crimes he committed. in afghanistan, the americans also achieved certain goals, because their task was not to destroy the taliban, but al-qaeda, which, well, the organization or everything that was called al-qaeda was al-qaeda, this is now a question, but the policy that was carried out there is somewhere. .. was partly successful, partly not, but the americans came out of there with winning strategies, as well as in the near east of their were primarily interested in resource regions and providing access to them, but when russia returned there, after the soviet union retreated, of course, in the 90s , the russians were not so influential there, and then when this return of russia began, the americans appeared in a certain sense , well, they are not very ready at the same time to stand against... both, i think that now the important question is whether america, america, the americans will have reliable allies in europe, it is not fo

carried out special tasks outside the iranian republic, in particular, it helped the government of bashar al-assadria defeat terrorist groups. the general was killed on january 3, 2020, as a result of a targeted us airstrike near baghdad airport. in response, tehran attacked american bases. 11 americans were injured in iraq. 2 years later, iran imposed sanctions against us representatives involved in the assassination of sulaymaniyah. meanwhile, hamas announced that it was stopping negotiations with tel aviv on the release of the hostages. this happened after the deputy head of the group and several of his subordinates were killed in beirut. according to local media , the hamas office was attacked by israeli drones. lebanese authorities condemned the attack and said that tel aviv was trying to drag the country into the conflict. in the lebanese movement, hezbollah threatened that the reaction to the israeli attack would be - quote , brutal. reports from our correspondents in... the middle east sergei pashkov and alexander belibov. a flight of merkov tanks moves to positions in the area of ​​the du

, again syria, the majority of the population is sunnis, but the allawites also united around bashar al-assadhose ethnic groups that, in the event of a victory of the islamic state or, in principle, the islamists, will simply be subjected to total massacre ; lebanon has traditionally been split along religious lines ; history, when the americans got in there, they not only stirred up this tangle of interests, but they led to such a growing explosion, and what we are now seeing is a crisis of the entire american strategy in the middle east, which assumed that their leadership ensures the isolation of any of their opponents, the creation of a pro-american coalition that will allow... without a big war to quickly level out influence and control all processes, we can safely say that now the united states does not control the processes, there is an obvious collapse in the region the system of international relations that the americans have been trying to create for at least the last 30 years, of course, we were at the beginning, when there was an aggravation, and in the palestinian-israeli conflic

let me tell you something, folks -- the white house said the same thing about syrian president bashar al assad and the idea he would use chemical weapons against his people. many people responded the same way, oh, no that couldn't actually happen. for so long they had viewed the hamas threat as incredible, they had used their intelligence to handle it and their border system at the south and also being duped in a way. they were duped by listening to communications where they heard hamas' leader saying they didn't want a war. so all of that painted this picture. in terms of your question why they wouldn't look into this after, the issue is all hands on deck focusing on the war effort right now. that said, i would argue it's important to do both at the same time. making sure you close those vulnerabilities in your intelligence system matters in terms of having a successful war. >> what are your brief thoughts on the news from the israeli military they're shifting some troops around, pulling back some of the reservists? what does that signal to you? >> well, it certainly signals an effort to tran

the supreme leader of iran, ayatollah khomeini, the syrian dictator bashar al assad, the tigray ethnicleansing or the tigray ethnic cleansing or the sudanese civil war. i would love to hear them, but i'm afraid these problems are beyond the capabilities even of his majesty's government. mr lammy is not suddenly going to solve them. fundamentally, this is non—plan . it achieves nothing non—plan. it achieves nothing because it's missing the most vital component of all, the component that the rwanda plan does have deterrence . it's clear does have deterrence. it's clear that the labour party simply isn't serious about tackling the migrant crisis, and is intent on committing itself to very little before the next election season. as always, i want to hear from you. male noget gb news. com and i'm particularly pleased to be joined by a friend of the programme and former labour cabinet minister shaun woodward . cabinet minister shaun woodward. shaun, many thanks for coming on. i know the job of the opposition is to oppose , but as opposition is to oppose, but as we get closer to an election ,

when the russian federation began to hold events to support the legitimate president of syria, bashar al-assadiran and many other countries were under pressure from sanctions for decades , and naturally, they also want revenge when israel, naturally, with the support of the united states of america and great britain, launched an operation to clearing the enclave where they are from the palestinians, i probably also thought that the muslim world would not limit itself only to statements, but the yemeni... the houthis are those brave and courageous guys who, in addition to words, moved on to concrete action , and i think that support for the houthis will only increase, it will, of course, be unspoken, but they have enough resources and high-precision, powerful weapons, which those states that the americans publicly punished on live television did not have, and this there weren’t any, because russia was not as strong as it is today, any state that will... has more and more problems, because today they are hard at work reaching the point where they no longer rule the world the way they do ruled, t

ukraine, it was under trump that the united states began to launch direct attacks on the troops of bashar al-assad alliances, the deterioration of relations with europeans, the collapse of the anti-russian and pro-ukrainian coalition that the biden administration has so far built and is maintaining, this could have a truly positive effect, but the fact is that the policies of the trump administration hypothetical in relation to russia itself will be remain sharply hostile, i personally have no illusions. we now pass the floor. news and the big game will return at 17:00 don't miss it. this is news first. hello, in valery korablev's studio. an important stage of a major russian project in egypt. today dawnstar is building the fourth power unit of the etba nuclear power plant. first. in the country. as is building rosatom, this.

syrians hated the barbaric regime of bashar al—assad, but it didn't stop islamic extremist emad al swealmeenealmeen, who claimed to be a christian fleeing persecution in syria from bombing a maternal hospital in liverpool. this pastor was only averted when his bombed detonated prematurely. people said iraqis hated the barbaric regime of saddam hussein, but it didn't stop . hussein, but it didn't stop. extremist iraqi asylum seeker ahmad hassan from attempting mass murder in the parsons green bombing and across the middle east and africa, people sought refuge from persecution by isis, but it didn't stop eritrean asylum seeker muktar said. ibrahim attempts mass murder as one of the failed london underground bombers. of course i'm not suggesting that every asylum seeker or muslim hates the west or wants to harm us. that's ridiculous . the majority that's ridiculous. the majority are good people in terrible situations when they're seeking asylum and they need our help . asylum and they need our help. i'm worried about terrorists exploit our asylum system in 2020, there were over 43,000 potential
