israel and lebanon, hezbollah? yes, definitely anthony _ israeland lebanon, hezbollah?boykins visit is not only for israel as for saudi arabia and different countries in the region. —— antony blinken. the cease—fire and lebanon and israel and between hezbollah, the white house envoy who wasn't lebanon yesterday so far it seems that the proposal provided the lebanese government is no longerjust to expire. it seems that now we're moving beyond 1701 international resolution for a cease—fire for the interning more into more border security. which is the difference that in 2006 the 1701 was issued it was implemented only as a cease—fire resolution. it only stop the war but did not stop hezbollah from rebuilding itself and developing for that what they are developing today is a cease—fire that would turn into border security. is a cease—fire that would turn into bordersecurity. it's is a cease—fire that would turn into border security. it's a resolution that would definitely stop hezbollah from going back to the borders of israel and push the lebanese government to allow for

that someone has to agree that hezbollah has to agree that hezbollah has to agree that hezbollah hasare going to pull out in the that stage, then israel would need to stop as well and so i think what they are doing is getting rid of this infrastructure before that point before that ceasefire is broken. figs that point before that ceasefire is broken. as you've been speaking, _ ceasefire is broken. as you've been speaking, we're - ceasefire is broken. as you've been speaking, we're looking| ceasefire is broken. as you've l been speaking, we're looking at some live pictures of beirut, we will be seeing the explosion in the back of the screen there to left—hand side and we don't know what that is showing us just yet but we know that we have heard from a corresponding anna foster that there were strikes as well in southern lebanon and just hearing that is a picture from earlier so that could be what we have been witnessing byjust a follow—up on something you said that lebanon, when the israeli forces were charging into south lebanon into thousand and six and since then, what happened, wha

the authority of lebanon belongs to hezbollah, as one of the most important indicators of hezbollah is the support of the resistance front. this arena appeared, but this is one of those cases it is possible to prove this component in the case that the people of palestine are the people of lebanon and the people of iraq. the people of yemen and the people of iran are a very united front, which covers 8 million kilometers, and these people are people who all support hezbollah, and hezbollah will support this group whenever this front is attacked. kurds today, if we are witnesses that mr. araghchi, our respected foreign minister, is in this war and this barbarian. the zionist regime enters the lebanese with power and authority and is present there , this is an encouragement and a strength and a the point of commonality is the intimacy that exists between us and the hezbollah front and the resistance, and we are not separate from them, and they are also a part of us, and when we feel that this encouragement is given to hezbollah, the iranian people feel encouragement in themselves. let the

is against hezbollah.lding on the operations. we think that israel will do the same as it did in gaza, where they are occupying it very narrow buffer zone, and operating from this buffer zone with operations inside gaza that can last for a few days or a few weeks, with troops the size of battalions. i don't think israel has the stomach to occupy, because occupation will be a burden diplomatically, a burden in human lives and in every aspect of budgeting in the military. so i think we will do the thing they are —— the same thing they are doing now in gaza, they are trying to occupy a very narrow buffer zone, a depth of one or two kilometres, and from this, it will be a launching pad for this kind of operation. if there is a collapse of hezbollah at some point, it does not seem so for the time being, but if there is a collapse of hezbollah, things may change because of south lebanon is practically emptied of its inhabitants that are the popular bases of hezbollah. general khalil helou, good to talk to you th

hezbollah.s said that it will make things safer some 60,000 residents of northern israel who have been evacuated from their homes from the most a year now because of the most a year now because of the fighting that has taken place since the start of the war in gaza and the daily exchanges of fire between israel and hezbollah. exchanges of fire between israeland hezbollah. in exchanges of fire between israel and hezbollah. in order to make it safe for those people, it says it has to push people, it says it has to push people away from the border and investigate any tunnels that may be in that area because it feels like it could be an october the 7th style attack. it is for hezbollah to be face to the north of the river, about 30 kilometres away from the border. israel wants to have that buffer zone in place. we will talk a little bit more about what is happening in lebanon injust a about what is happening in lebanon in just a second, about what is happening in lebanon injust a second, but how is

the lebanese as a state has been kidnapped by hezbollah, and behind hezbollah is a run.estically as a way of being used by iran to intervene in syria, in iraq, in yemen. there is a real— syria, in iraq, in yemen. there is a real vacuum _ syria, in iraq, in yemen. there is a real vacuum in _ syria, in iraq, in yemen. there is a real vacuum in lebanese . is a real vacuum in lebanese politics at the moment, but as you say, nobody stepped forward and clearly articulated the difference between the lebanese state and hezbollah. i didn�*t they do that because what they let the people of lebanon down. exactly. what has been going on since october 2023, things were getting worse and worse and again, you see, many chances were really made available in order to disassociate the lebanese situation from gaza. it is very important nationally and from an arab point of view, but particularly now that lebanon cannot afford in principle to get involved in such a matter. when the gaza situation has become only 2.2 palestinians homeless and all over the gaza is destroyed. to continue to lin

seyyed abbas mousavi was elected as the secretary general of hezbollah in lebanon. the soul of imamna 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 e

they have main goals with hezbollah. they have not attack hezbollah.about lebanon, but we talk about an organisation using a smack and doing in lebanon whatever they like. hezbollah is part of the lebanese government. israel attack hezbollah activists directly and you can see the fact that israel attacked an area or buildings, some buildings in the area of beirut that is very close to the airport. at the airport is still working. because the israel attack attack directly only based on direct information about hezbollah leaders in beirut. since israel also tried to clean lebanon of thousands of missiles there for a long time for a period of time and at the same time, in north—east lebanon. this is the battle. i just want to pick up on that point but you say the airport, those strikes in the vicinity of the airport, obviously people are trying to leave lebanon. it makes it more difficult. people are also trying to leave lebanon via the border crossing with syria and yet israel has attack that border crossing with syria. the un are saying tojapan border c

so hezbollah is on its back heal. they've been badly damaged by israel. they are still north on the ground because they have to clear far enough north so their citizens can return to villages and homes in israel. that's can it be -- going to be something not easily done. iran is trying to -- is very much in a corner now. hezbollah is not a player as they were a month ago. iran's attack last week was an attempt to reset that balance as they did in april. like the april attack it largely failed to do that. it was not particularly effective. israel now possesses the initiative. how israelesponds in the next few days will be important. they will do something larger than their response in april. i don't have any prior knowledge on what they might or might not do or they have a lot of targets to choose from. some more escalatory than others. the very good question you asked by saying iran has no larger options at hand to attack israel and what they've already displayed. because of the number of launchers with ballistic miss

israel will never defeat hamas or hezbollah. israel is, of course, a tool in the hands of the us, only. got out of hand, the main american ally in region has a mind of its own. the idf notifies the pentagon of its operations after the fact, and netanyahu has no regard for biden. after hundreds of iranian missiles rained down on israel again on tuesday, the biden administration is content to limit israel's response, two administration officials said, blocking it entirely. it's the latest sign of the limitations of the u.s. ability to prevent escalation in the region. the west has been notified of the retaliatory fire, but leaders the hezbollah decided not to listen, but to eliminate. now hezbollah is taking revenge. mortars with its portraits fire non-stop. the ground operation in southern israel is stalled almost before it has begun. the infantry is ambushed. according to hezbollah estimates, the idf has lost about 50 people killed. at least four merkava tanks have been destroyed. israel sends out a warning in arabic to resident

to lebanon, but hezbollah has announced that it is ready for a long-term battle, and hezbollah's maines, including the missile aspect , have not yet happened. mr. ajlolu, now if we want to measure the short-term and long-term effectiveness of the honest promise operation , you. what effects do you think it will have in the short or long term, and this is an important point because the issue of the ceasefire was an important issue from the beginning. has it moved closer or distanced from it? well, the issue of the ceasefire has been a very important issue that has been emphasized many times in the last year, but what we are seeing in reality is due to the amount of damage caused to the zionist regime and in the last one year, the zionist regime was constantly seeking to restore a level of deterrence, and it was the balance of forces that it had before . it seems that with the current situation, until it reaches that level, it will be supported by its allies, that is, contrary to the claims of the united states. the united states of america, which is looking for a ceasefire, and from it

this area is a stronghold for hezbollah. this is the area _ stronghold for hezbollah.lah. this is the area in beirut _ stronghold for hezbollah. t�*i s is the area in beirut where hezbollah is based essentially, yes, where hezbollah�*s senior leadership were based. you only need to look back to friday a week ago when that huge powerful explosion that shook all of a here in beirut, the sound and size of it, that we later discovered had killed hassan nasrallah, the leader of hezbollah, the man who led the organisation for three decades but hadn't been seen in public for years. but hadn't been seen in public foryears. he but hadn't been seen in public for years. he was a really elusive figure and it turned out we now know that he had been dug into this headquarters below some residential buildings in dahieh. the idf say when they put out their take on these air strikes afterwards, they often say they are targeting particular members of hezbollah�*s command structure and they have managed to kill a lot of them in the last two weeks or so. when you look at the upper echelon

of hezbollah weapons were stored there.hile, president biden has said he will not support any attack by israel on iran's nuclear sites in response to tuesday's missile barrage by tehran. the us president has spoken to other world leaders in the g7, and called for any retaliation from the israelis to be �*proportionate�*. the iranian president masoud pezeshkian warned if israel retaliated, iran would respond more severely. israel's military says eight of its soldiers were killed in the first two days of its ground invasion of lebanon. hezbollah says it fired guided missiles at their tanks. peter bowes has the latest. more explosions ring out overnight in lebanon. the israeli army says it conducted a precise attack on bachoura in central beirut. the first raid in the heart of lebanon's capital. lebanese officials say at least five people were killed and ii injured in this israeli strike on a medicalfacility, a building affiliated with hezbollah. earlier, the lebanese health ministry confirmed at least 46 people have been kill

and what about hezbollah�*s sponsors, iran?be saying in iran, "we can'tjust "stand by and watch our entire axis of resistance crumble. "the israelis are taking us apart. "hezbollah was our main flag torchbearers for the islamic "revolution in the arab world. "we can't just sit back and let them be — "we've got to do something. "they've called on us to help, we need to help them." that will be the hardliners saying that. there will be others saying, "maybe we're better off "biding our time and doing whatever we want to do "further down the line." those will be the more cautious voices. let's not forget that, 12 days after israel took out, or demolished, the iranian consulate in damascus, hitting the brigadier general who was in charge of coordinating the arms supplies from iran through syria to hezbollah, iran retaliated in a big way. it launched that barrage of roughly 300 missiles and drones directly at israel for the first time — notjust using its proxies, but attacking israel directly. nearly all were intercepted. israel was

this is a war against hezbollah or against lebanon. i believe it is against lebanon, otherwise they would have stopped fighting after the assassination of hassan nasrallah. but now israel is destroying the infrastructure. will not be able to return there, this creates even if we cease fire right now, people a huge number of socio-economic problems. i doubt that the government knows what to do with them. all that people see now is misfortune and destruction, they only want peace and quiet, because everything that has happened since september 17, the terrorist attacks with pagers, it's a nightmare. and at night, for example, we did not sleep until 4 am, the constant roar of combat aircraft, which is hitting the beret too, for the first time they are striking specific targets or people, as they say, but i can tell you responsibly that most of the targets civilians, the task that israel sets itself is, if not the destruction, then the radical suppression of hezbollah, which is not just the largest paramilitary organization in the region, b

it was said that hezbollah's attacks and responses were perhaps the biggest response to hezbollah's biggestack since recent days until today. what is your analysis of what is happening in west asia these days? with the name and remembrance of god almighty. i have to tell you that the events that have been unfolding in the past few days. and the national media is covering it well, it shows the strength of the structure of the group that we call the islamic resistance of lebanon. well, 30 years have been worked in this regard and all the possible scenarios are in it. it has been seen and each of the fighters of the lebanese resistance is both a commander and a fighter, that's why this ambiguity has arisen now. how was it able to deal these fragile blows to the military forces of the zionist regime with the testimony of a number of commanders and the general secretary of the hezbollah group. this shows that the resistance group does not rely on people, but on the will, beliefs and what they taught him during training, and above all, it is a matter of trust. god almighty is this is a reality th

israel doesn't only have hezbollah to contend with. 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 israel, with one fatality. there was a lot of booms. one of them, it was terrible. when we came out, i saw all the destruction. what's happening. we're happy we're still alive. the attack was widely condemned by the west, who called for restraint and de—escalation. but both israel and iran show no sign of backing down. the middle east is still reeling from the hamas attacks on october 7 last year. the horror of the last 12 months has been compounded in recent days. by heightened tensions and escalations, which have spread across the region with devastating consequences. the re

in terms of combat , hezbollah's combat power has been strengthened, hezbollah's missile attacks are planned and carefully in place , hezbollah's confrontation zone and contact line have actually been able to prevent the enemy from advancing politically , anyway, hezbollah has many personalities. these can actually be surprising god willing, the islamic ummah will hear very good news from the axis of resistance, from the point of view that a new general secretary will be appointed, god willing, with cohesion and strength, while the last word is that hezbollah is actually a school that seyyed hassan nasrullah rooh is actually present. nazree and god willing, this school will continue to grow stronger than in the past. thank you very much , dr. golbor. thank you, dr. shakbaei, for the presence and analysis of both of you, and as always, thank you for your company . the truth seems to be that the words of hezbollah's lack of leadership and control and the loss of al-mubadara are lies the biggest thing that the zionist regime fueled was the lack of command and control in hezbollah after

obviously hezbollah has remained defiant.heard from the group's number two who said that hezbollah fighters were ready to confront any israeli invasion. this is a part of the country that is a hezbollah stronghold. obviously after two weeks of widespread israeli air strikes, high—profile assassinations, hezbollah has been weakened, its leadership has been almost completely decimated, but the group remains a very powerful force. it is believed to have thousands of rockets, including missiles that can strike deep inside israel, also thousands of experienced fighters. so there is here the question about how hezbollah is going to respond, whether it has the ability to organise a coordinated and significant response. in lebanon obviously this is more than eight military, it is a political and social movement was significant support, often described as a state within a state here in lebanon. foralmost state within a state here in lebanon. for almost a year people have been saying that there were concerns that hezbollah with those a

will hezbollah join at the last moment? that's a short distance between launchpad's in iraq and syria. those are unknowns. but as i said, 100 right now is less than what was fired in april. we will have to see if it develops further. sonali: one more time, recapping the headlines, they have been coming quite fast and hot this hour. from the idf we have that iran has begun their missile attack. air raid sirens are sounding in central israel. the attack came hours after the white house warned that the missile attack was imminent. the white house has been prepared. the israeli government said that this is what they expected. from the israeli army radio we have 100 missiles that have been launched. we are waiting to hear more about what the fallout might be. paul, before we let you go here, can you tell us a little bit more about the kind of concerned that you raised earlier about whether iran is acting alone or with other proxies, or other allies? at this point, where are the frictions and paul: iran certainly commands a large

so what we want to see happen is hezbollah degraded, hezbollah pull back, hezbollah finally meet the obligations that they committed to in 2006 and have never fulfilled. it's important to remind people of that because it is an important part of the story of how we got here today. and we're going to continue to work to try to achieve that outcome. >> [inaudible] sovereign state, of course, and take one position, but you are providing them with weapons. and you did before put restrictions on countries, ukraine as an example, in that to you provide them with military aid in the middle of a war and you put restrictions and limitation the on how they use this military, especially targeting inside russian territory. why don't you apply the same here -- >> every conflict is different. we continue to engage with israel about the need to protect civilians, to minimize civilian harm, and that will continue to be at the center of our policy. >> my last questions is about a report that came out couple of hours ago many new york times -- [inaudible] it's about israeli military -- captured palesti

iran was the sole supporter for hezbollah. missiles. and in the recent, especially in the past decade, we've seen hezbollah expanding its mandate and its power beyond the territories of lebanon. so we've seen hezbollah involved in the war in syria backing assad's forces and iranian forces against the opposition. we've seen them in iraq also supporting iraqi militias and iraqi groups that are supported by iran. and recently we've seen them also providing training and support in yemen. and hence we see the yemenis, the houthis are involved in this conflict as well, and supporting both hezbollah and the palestinians inside gaza. and actually, on that point as well, frank, there's another another interesting question from rusty gaspard, who's in louisiana in the us. following on from what lena was talking about there, rusty wants to know, is hezbollah in lebanon at the invitation of the lebanese government? is the lebanese government at liberty to ask them to leave? well, actually, that question is probably best aimed at lina sinc

in the 33-day war, hezbollah emerged victorious. zionist newspapers write that it is israel's biggest war defeat. of course, achievement it was not without cost to hezbollah. great commanders lost. after the assassination of imad mughniyeh, one of the key commanders of hezbollah in the 33-day war , there was a discussion here on the zionist network about what will happen to hezbollah? the zionist journalist had revealed a long time ago, 32 years ago, when the black flag was flying over the houses of beirut, that israel had assassinated seyyed abbas mousavi, several senior soldiers of the regime had warned that we should not have assassinated hezbollah . and simaya , the formation of the 20th demonstration of hundreds of thousands of people from different strata of people from different religions in england protesting the deepening of israel's crimes in the region by attacking the lebanese, syria and yemen on the eve of the anniversary of the invasion of gaza, friends. the wave of protest against the continued support of the american

buildings used by hezbollah lie broken.rby, the town of bintjbeil, where israel's army said today it had killed hezbollah fighters. hezbollah has said it targeted soldiers just over that hill. we're now very close to the lebanese border. locals here tell us the first hezbollah village is about a mile or so away from here. for the past year, people here have looked across this border and watched hezbollah fire rockets towards them. now, for the first time in almost two decades, they're looking across that border and watching israeli forces battle hezbollah fighters on lebanese soil. you can see into lebanon from the terrace of dean sweetland's house. when residents evacuated this area a year ago, this former british soldier stayed. eight years after moving here from london, his son is serving in the israeli army and this is home now. it's been very noisy. the house is shaking three, four times a day. running into the shelter, taking the dogs, the dogs are going crazy. you never know if it's anti—tank. you only hear the whoos

raid by hezbollah.man, a senior fellow at the center for strategic and international studies told me more about the lessons israel learnt from their invasion into lebanon back then. when israel went into lebanon in 2006, it was completely unprepared for the fight that hezbollah was giving it. its military hadn't scouted the terrain properly, its intelligence were poor and it assumed, frankly, that hezbollah would be easily defeated. this time it appears to be the opposite. israel has developed superb intelligence, as we have seen over the past few weeks. it has taken the threat very, very seriously. it's military has been framed. this does not mean that israel will not triumph over hezbollah but it will be much harder this time. , �* time. unintelligible. if we talk about — time. unintelligible. if we talk about hezbollah's - talk about hezbollah's capabilities, how do you assess where they are at the moment, given the strikes that israel has been able to land on them? hezbollah has a massive rocket and

you know, hezbollah is not the same. they are much weaker today. i think today is an opportunity for the lebanese people, the lebanese government, to take control, to implement un resolution 1701, that basically said that the lebanese military will be in southern lebanon, not the hezbollah terrorists. you know what we found in the last few days, in the border next to our border? we found tunnels. we found bunkers with maps of communities and plans to invade israel, very similar to what hamas did, but with much more power and abilities. but, ambassador, if i may, in the last 2a hours, the deputy leader of hezbollah, of course, they've got a complicated hierarchy now since you've killed several of their leaders, but naim qassem, a deputy leader of hezbollah, said in public that hezbollah is ready for ceasefire negotiations, wants those negotiations, and he made it plain by omission that hezbollah is no longer tying a ceasefire to what it had previously insisted to, which is a ceasefire in gaza as well. so, in otherwords, hezbollah is ready to talk on

the era of conflict with hezbollah is over. the zionists thought it was the work of hezbollah. it ended their 15 years in southern lebanon and forced them to retreat. the victory that elevated seyed hassan's political status changed hezbollah's military weakness. in 2006, the zionists , together with america, sought change in the middle east . they attacked lebanon. hezbollah with leadership seyyed hassan nasrallah dealt a blow to the zionists this time. victory in a 33-day war , hezbollah was captured by them , and they retreated from lebanon again. the war did not bring peace, and this issue was a complete failure from a military point of view. we must remember that a large army that claims to be the strongest army in lebanon. in the middle of the war, he was fighting with a guerrilla group, but the result was the death of 120 soldiers and 44 civilians. the performance of the army during the war was very bad. the government expected hezbollah to be destroyed, but this did not happen due to various reasons, including the failure of the army. after the 33 -day war, the strategy

the assassination of hezbollah's secretary general sent shock waves throughout the region.ig question was, what would be the reaction of iran, the leader of the resistance access to this heinous crime, had israel overstepped tehran's? lines and would the recent assassination act as the last straw? the answer to all these questions was yes. officials condemning this terrorist operation itself committed to guaranteeing regional security, the security and the security of the resistance. however, 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 some 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 solidarity with hesbolah wit
