the people of iran back out and do not care about. you do not see protests about iran, inside iran.s done here, they have created a low—grade war with the west. it is a kind of war they want, because they have subcontracted all the fighting to the shia proxy groups that we just hit. we have not hit anything that iran truly cares about.— truly cares about. robert forward. _ truly cares about. robert forward, do _ truly cares about. robert forward, do you - truly cares about. robert forward, do you agree i truly cares about. robert i forward, do you agree with truly cares about. robert - forward, do you agree with that or what we might see next? this i or what we might see next? as i said, we or what we might see next? as i said. we will— or what we might see next? as i said, we will be _ or what we might see next? as i said, we will be back _ or what we might see next? as i said, we will be back where we were _ said, we will be back where we were just — said, we will be back where we were just a _ said, we will be back where we were just a week or two ago. i will say— were just a wee

. sitting down at the table, iran agreed, iran followed, iran fulfilled its obligations 100%, and and all of this was attested to by the international atomic energy agency, and what happened, the united states goes and rips up its own deal, so this shows that that that iran has has really done everything uh to to be a peaceful country, iran has never attacked another country or invaded another country, it only seeks diplomacy and it only seeks empower others and and and even 'when you know you sit down with the united states and you try to to to hash things out they they um you know they uh just rip up agreements and walk away because the their nature of the the nature of american leaders unfortunately is is imperialism and it is to to attack those who resist so you know it's it's no wonder that the access of resistance is vilified um there's a reason that yemen is bombed and syria is bombed and syria sanctioned and iran is also attacked it's it's precisely because of this because they have a common'. principle uh, they have uh, they're steadfast, they remain true to their cause and t

what iran is looking for, one thing — what iran is looking for, one thing to— what iran is looking forlly looms large over — withdrawal really looms large over the _ withdrawal really looms large over the reason, withdrawal really looms large overthe reason, it withdrawal really looms large over the reason, it really does. _ over the reason, it really does. so _ over the reason, it really does, so there is a thinking in a round — does, so there is a thinking in a round that let's start a conversation in dc. there is an america — conversation in dc. there is an america first movement. 0k, conversation in dc. there is an america first movement. ok, the conversation, what we have all the sitting ducks sitting here injordan, in iraq, in syria, what— injordan, in iraq, in syria, what vital— injordan, in iraq, in syria, what vital national interest they— what vital national interest they represent? and what iran wants— they represent? and what iran wants is— they represent? and what iran wants is a _ they represent? and what iran wants is a withdrawal of those american _ wants is a withdrawa

. >> i first went to iran in 1973. fashion was at its height. what was a place where an american felt very comfortable? >> a place where an american president jimmy carter would give this toast on new year's eve. >> there because of the great leadership. but the sharp is an island of stability and one of the more troubled areas of the world before long, that illusion of stability would be shattered in december 1978 it's throngs of protesters demanded the removal of the show and the return of ruhollah khomeini. five weeks later, the shye and his family fled to egypt it's a day abbas milani remembers, well and that day i want to see what's happening in the streets. there was joining the street. people were passing around images of homendy >> then they got the real thing with khomeini's return to iran, watching khomeini step off the plane and he was so mob they actually had to kind of scurry him off still. >> there was unrest. the us embassy was attacked and although this time the mob eventually left, it was harbinger of

. ., , . , ., iran.ive being to stop attacks _ iran. the objective being to stop attacks on _ iran. the objective being to stop attacks on american i stop attacks on american personnel and it is too early to say whether that is going to happen. but in terms ofjoe biden and wanting this to be concluded sooner rather than later— this is an election year after all, later— this is an election year afterall, he later— this is an election year after all, he will be very keen for this to be concluded as soon as possible, won't he? certainly. i think everybody wishes that. that iran would get the message and knock it off with these attacks. i think it is unlikely thatjust one body of strikes will solve the bigger problem. we will need to continue to put pressure on them and leverage all the elements of national power to try to compel iran to change not only their behaviour but their support to these organisations and put pressure on the organisations to stop doing that and we know they can doing that and we know

iran, iran has has demonstrated that it can be done, that there are challenges. doing so, but it is, it can be successful, it can benefit the people of the country, and isn't that what governments are supposed to do to to serve the people within their own country, not some foreign country that wants to to to run them, wants to set up a public government, but their own people, and that's what has been going on in iran for last 45 years since the revolution, and as we look at these pictures that are being shown, we're seeing people of all ages, this the the revolution lives on, even young people people who are not born at the time of the revolution are proud of the revolution, they know the history, and they will continue to to uh see that their country is run independent of anything the united states demands, we saw that, i mentioned earlier the jcpo, which when the united states withdrew it, it expected to cripple, the united states expected to cripple iran, the opposite is what happened, and as you mentioned, there's so much about the revolution that the united states government jus

although iran is new member.ly six months ago, efforts are already under way to organize events that promote people-to-people exchanges. while specific events have yet to be determined, iran is committed to strengthening relations within the sco and fostering a sense of common identity among member states, he noted. and that brings us to the end of this new section. i invite you to go back to the main narrative. china and russia as two major members of the seo have... established wide ranging and strong relationship with iran over the past few decades in areas such as energy, defense cooperation and geostrategic balancing with the united states. this uh organization and the membership of iran can provide very good access to more more cooperation, so iran can provide all abilities such as energy and other other assets which we have to share with with with the members. iran's accession to the sco has geoeconomic importance as well. it can help iran become hub country by playing a central role in the east-west and n

in that respect to follow iran's ideology?l said this is this is this all go back goes back to the the the fact that iran follows a just principal politics, but also a principal foreign policy, so when you take into account the fact that the very tenents of iranian foreign policy are built on wisdom as... outlined by the uh by the leader ayatullah khamenei, wisdom, expediency and uh and pride, the very fact that you have pride factoring into this principle foreign policy, despite the uh great deal of pragmatism that iran has shown over over the years, the very fact that you have pride as a principal tenant of of this foreign policy means that anything that diminishes one's uh iranian pride or islamic pride or touches anything that may that may damage iran standing across the world, this this will immediately lead lead to such foreign policies being being sideline, so the very fact that you look for example at the so let's take into account the the the fact that the revolution came about during the cold war a time when you you

, and we know that iran is also an oil and gas rich country, but iran uh is almost self sufficient in these two sectors, oil and gas sector, and they are relying on local companies and local technical and technological know-how and local expertise, so how do you think nigeria, which has over decades relied on western multinationals which have actually looted its resources, how can nigeria benefit from iran's know how in these energy sector? yeah, i think uh, there is also a plan for this, you know, uh, some years back, ningeran minister of petroleum in person of silver, he came here and he discussed with uh, iranian government official concerning the issue of uh collaborative investment and uh cooperation in the fls of downstream sector so the discourses lot and i think nigeria will benefit from iran because iran is not uh as you said doesn't have that exploitative uh yeah yeah like approach like western countries so nigeria will benefit lot from iran of being self-sufficient and now as you mentioned ear over the last few months we have seen an awakening in several west african countr

to support the oppressors, regardless the religion, is who needs help, iran with this, whatever iran can, even with more than 4,600. sanctions on iran is still capable of supporting other people, but not because it is using his resources and depriving the iranian people, no, it is a way to divert the the aggression that the americans and their allies can have toward iran when there are so many other people are thinking on the same way and they really able to stand against a superpower. even if they are small. i like to get your understanding cybus rv on what i said in one of his uh statements where he said this movement, the uprising of the oppressed against the arrogant must spread across the world. do you think that it has spread across the world? indeed, it has spread across the world, indeed. do remember when one few months after the matidom of shahit sulaymani, i traveled to karakas to venezuela. attend a global you know event, there i met so many people who were totally unaware about iran, they were not knowing anything about iran, they were far away from iran, hundreds of mayb

iran's achievements. the country has gained good achievements in the field of constructing equipment needed in the water and waste water sector. the private sector it said has paved the way for the accurate management of water consumption in the country. then uh viewer comments. this viewer said iran is beautiful country with beautiful people, worked there for seven months and will cherish it forever. and finally, iran's economic performance since the 1979 revolution, slow gdp and gdp per capita growth has led to wide spread perception that income and inequality has worsened, but in fact iran's income inequality, as measured by the gene index shows slow downward trend and has improved, so there you have it, just some of the different ways that uh iran has uh advanced throughout the years and decades. ali resmanpoor who's an international affairs expert uh joining us. i'll start first with you ali resmanpoor, welcome to economic divide. uh let's take a do let's do a flashback here in terms of the islamic r

this is a great opportunity for iran. it seems the israeli occupation will conclude the grand operation in the city of khan unis in southern gaza within days, withdrawing thereafter to the newly established security zone along the border with gaza, just as it did weeks ago in the city of gaza and its surroundings to the north. does this mean that the next step is to begin the ground? operation in rafah, it appears that the decision regarding the operation is still pending, not only for field related reasons, but lot of regional players prefer the negotiating path to end designus aggression against gaza, hence all eyes are now a possible improved prisoner exchange deal both in form and content compared to the first paris formula reached between qatar, egypt, the united states and the zianist israeli entity last january. gaza talks underway this week on the medias stream. there's plenty more to be said, but first a quick media review to give other outlets a chance to get award in. hello everyone, welcome to the news section

became a home for them, they would bring jews to iran and from iran they would move them to palestine (resal shah pahlavi) owed his throne to the zionists because of the critical role in his ascendancy. his son muhammad shah also had a close relationship with the zionists. economic, political and military cooperation between the two flourished as tensions between israel and arab nations escalated during the 1960. and the 1970s. in 1957, the shaw established one of the most infamous and brutal intelligence agencies in the region, savok, with assistance from the israeli intelligence service, musad. tehran and tel aviv also agreed to develop advanced missile systems under the code of project flower. this is mohsen rafiq dost, an iranian politician and a former irgc commander. he told us about slov and its brutality out of his own person. on them, their torturing methods were also israeli style, among the interrogators, you could see non-iranian people, in short, savag was a student of musad so to speak. mr. abbas salimi namin, a prominent iranian historian who is also the director of the

or the iraqi resistance or the syrian resistance, but iran assists all these people, because iran says the iraqi sovereignty, syrian sovereignty, lebanese sovereignty, yemen sovereignty and palestinian liberation, they are all legitimate causes and the reason why they're so successful is because they have popular support, otherwise the united states and their regional proxies or... or client regimes, they are much more wealthy, but the reason why they fail is because they are working against the people, they are working against the people of the region, but most importantly in with regards to our discussion, they're against the palestinian people, yeah, and david, i mean, what can we learn about iran's relationship with palestine, from from the words of salah al aruri, so aruri of course was uh... executed by the israelis in beirut uh uh just the other week and but he is was a senior hamas uh commander and leader and uh he had in in several occasions back in 2017 and 2019 made quite long statements about the way in which the iranian government has supported the palestinians that they t

iran at its history, not least the iran- iraq war of the 1980s.— at its history, not least the iran-aq war of the 1980s. iran does not see itself as an _ iraq war of the 1980s. iran does not see itself as an aggressive - iraq war of the 1980s. iran does not see itself as an aggressive act - iraq war of the 1980s. iran does not see itself as an aggressive act up i see itself as an aggressive act up but as deeply vulnerable, in particular in the memories of the iran— iraq war where it was very vulnerable to iraqi and many people died. so it's vulnerable to iraqi and many people died. so its whole policy is built on never again to be allow itself to be encircled or isolated. it is on never again to be allow itself to be encircled or isolated.— be encircled or isolated. it is not lookin: be encircled or isolated. it is not looking for— be encircled or isolated. it is not looking for a _ be encircled or isolated. it is not looking for a massive _ be encircled or isolated. it is not looking for a massive escalation| be encircled or isolated. it is not. looking for a massive escalation and

iran doesn't acknowledge this funding, but as well as money iran is supplying weapons too.o intercept a boat in the red sea. the us released this image. it says the boat was transporting iranian—made weapons to the houthis — or there's hezbollah — one estimate put his arsenal at 130,000 rockets and missiles. it's believed many of them come from iran. and if iran is supplying money and weapons, is it also coordinating the actions of its allies? after october the seventh, the us acknowledged we have not yet seen evidence that iran directed or was behind this particular attack. more broadly, iran's allies appear to operate with a significant degree of independence, but that needs placing in context. iran does not necessarily exert day to day operational control over each and every one of its proxies. but that being said, when you provide strategic direction, when you provide significant material and you provide significant training, you cannot expect you cannot avoid culpability. and given this level of support from iran, inevitably many are asking, what does it want? well, to

want to attack iran's military base , not inside iran. republicans in america. the pressure of some currents of the american government was not under pressure, that is, at a time when the most public pressure from the senators, even from the american democratic senators , was directly on biden, who has a weak point, and directly target tehran, and i said that we do not want to let's spread the war in the region, this is our deterrent power, but now let's compare it with the same 10-20 years ago. the forces accompanying us in the region, whose strength is not at all comparable to ours, will be targeted a few hours ago . now, either directly or indirectly, the point is that my only final emphasis is that in addition to the pride of our military strength, because we hear a lot these days, mr. deterrence. it's not about rockets, they just don't stop mr. jun. now, according to the routine of the world program today , we want to see the developments in palestine in the past 24 hours in the narration of the picture. red crescent ambulance planet

grossy comes to iran, so when he comes to iran he talks to talk and everything seems to be going great, but he doesn't really walk the walk when he goes back to vienna, suddenly his language and tone changes when he goes to vienna, how do you see um this this shift? in tone and where you think it comes from mr. grassy is veteran diplomat, surely for his political future, for the future of the organization he directs, he is mindful to avoid statements that are against his organizational goals and duties. this is not a job for the individual, his job holds an international position and relevance. international agency, which is the international atomic energy agency, must have. political interventions and pressures in other international organizations, which western countries and particularly the united states impose, preventing these organizations from fulfilling their defined duties. we're witnessing this tragic and sorrowful bloodshit in gaza, where women, children, and defenseless people are being killed, and any resolution proposed at the un security council to end this bloodshit and

iran's... president rice has played an important role in that regards, especially after world powers failed in their commitment, for example under the jcpoa. so let's take a look at some of the economic indicators under rice. uh, here's one sector of which we can see a market improvement and that's the service sector in which iran registered a growth of 6.2%, as you see over here for the year 20 uh 23, compared to the year 2022, obviously you could see the improvement that's there. "the service sector remains one of iran's largest with financial intermediaries that have driven its gains. next up we go to another sector industry and mining uh, which may have had no growth in the year 2022. however, it did rebound and register 3.7% growth for the year 2023. now keep in mind that this figure actually excludes iran's oil and petrochemical sector on the one hand, and also uh this sector still lacks the necessary machinery and equipments. um that would give them um access to um many of the minds and

iran's largest religious festival coincided with the days of my presence in iran.eme. leader of iran and his letter, but everything does not always happen the way we expect. that night happened to me and it was not what i expected at all. it's very difficult for me to really describe it. i don't think you can really, really understand. what went on in that room until you're there, you have to be there to understand it. um, i was not expecting what i saw in that room, and i don't think i could ever really explain it to anyone. we're here in a very, very sacred place, this is imam zodi ali akbar. um, and there are celebrations going on, they haven't actually started yet, celebrations for imam makdi, uh, he's the 12th imam in shia islam, and he has has left, but it is believed that he will return at the end of time along with jesus christ. he shall overcome, he shall overcome, so deep in my heart, i know that. what i do, oh we shall, we'll walk hand in hand, well my name is david miller, sociologist who specializes in the analysis of power and propaganda, so i i come

, and we know that iran is also an oil and gas rich country, but iran uh is... almost self-sufficient in these two sectors, oil and gas sector, and they are relying on local companies and local technical and technological know-how and local expertise, so how do you think nigeria, which has over decades relied on western multinationals which have actually looted its resources, how can nigeria benefit from iran's know how in these uh energy sector? yeah, i think uh there is also a plan for this uh... uh some years back uh nigerian minister of petroleum in person of silver, he came here and he discussed with iranian government official concerning the issue of uh collaborative investment and cooperation in the place of downstream sector so the discourses lot and i think nigeria will benefit from iran because iran is not uh as you said doesn't have that exploitative uh yeah, yeah, like, like western countries, so nigeria will benefit lot from iran of being self-sufficient, and now, as you mentioned ear, over the last few months we have seen an awakening in several west african countries, a

yeah, so this courses lot, and i think nigeria will benefit from iran, because iran is not uh, as you said, doesn't have that exploitative uh, yeah, yeah, like, like western countries, so nigeria will benefit lot from iran of being self-sufficient, and now, as you mentioned ear, over the last few months, we have seen an awakening in several west african countries, and in this case i want to mention niger, mali and burkinafaso, where the masses. are rising up against france and even now we have governments which are opposed to uh the french agemony and imperialism. do you think this uh the islamic revolution has impacted on the views of the masses in these countries? yeah of course yeah yeah as i told you that uh before when you asking about uh people's or young people opinion about iranian revolution people there they are watching what is happening in iran and they are seeing the... progress iran is being recorded in part of deployment so you know in countries like niger, burkina pasu and mali, yeah, although it was a codeter, it is military that over the government, but they were sup

iran was central to us foreign policy globally uh that iran and the shah in particular were trusted asthe in the cold war and sight of uh obviously uh huge tensions and conflict in its own right in the middle east. according to the national census conducted in 1976, iran had a population of about 33 and a half million... that year a young country which the us counted on for the stability of the persian gulf region, iran was also major oil supplier of israel. as the question of oil, oil goes everywhere, when a tanker is filled up, you really don't know the destination of it, it could go, as i said to everywhere and as well to israel, the iranian point for israel was very important because it was... major pillar of its strategic conception, then there was the issue of oil, iraq, iran was major oil supplier, of course to israel, there are other things they are doing together, so once the shaffel it required major assessment of israel's strategic position, and the same applied to the united states, i mean the shaw was america's major eila in the middle east for very long time and definitel

uh where i think you mentioned in the case of iran that the us is still trying to influence uh iran in one form or another to have an impact to make a change so to speak which many associate that with of course the whole notion of regime change but uh it seems like uh not only has the us been defeated and many of its allies in that regard in that direction that they wanted uh to uh take you iran uh, but that iran is also somewhat over it in the sense where we're looking at this whole notion of new world order which has been thrown about now for a couple years uh a minimum, but we're seeing that transformation take place, even though the us has prevented it from uh it taking its natural course perhaps, but are we looking at the beginning of the fact that maybe um this whole fight that the us has with countries like iran to follow istic tas that it may be over and they they uh have realized that perhaps uh this is something that uh they can't continue to pursue this maximum pressure policy for example when it comes to iran or the route that they have taken? yes this is for barry gross

reports about iran is in. it's a double standard and we strongly oppose this double standard. we have expressed our grievances to the agency and always expected director general to maintain that international cred. jcpoa 2.0 uh considering that there has been a stalements in the talks about the revival of the original jcpo in 2015 so is this referral more like a political statement than a technical one or is there a truth to this? this very expression, this sentence and this statement is in line with the same destructive policy they employ against iran, the very... policy and iranophobia. firstly, the jcpo is deal. they themselves use the term deal in their nomenclature. it's from the word deal. this is deal between the p5 plus one and iran. it's crystal clear. even in this statement, when resolution 22-31 of the united nations has been adopted, the initial paragraph its first page states that iran reduces its nuclear activities based on this agreement. and regulates them under the agency supervision to lift t

states, iran ranked first, one third of all us international weapons says went to iran using petrol dollarsixon kessenger term, carter came into power in januar. of 77 and then there was we had the revolution in february of 79, so the last two years of shah's reign, carter was president in the united states, but what led to shah's overthrow was actually the result of the relationship that people like nixon and kessenger had with the shah, shah was buying. lot of weapons from the united states shah was acting as puppet in west asia for the united states during the vietnam war, the united states were using the fighter jets that were sold to iran to attack vietnamese and we have passage in the memories of mother that one day shah went to his mother and was quite upset and the mother asked the shah, why are you upset? and the answer was that the americans have taken these fighter jets from iran without even notifying me, meaning the show, so the relationship between the shah and nixon kissenger those years... actually led to the revolution, because what wanted from nexon, after giving all these

, for example iraq and iran, saudi arabia, with iran, palestine, with iran, syria. and we have and i have divided this this area in two in two divisions, the shah's era and the after the islamic republic of islamic revolution. mr. ambassador, when you presented your credentials to iran's president raisi, he said that the problems of libya and some islamic countries are caused by the presence of interference of foreigners, what's your opinion on? the presence of the foreigners in our area is not welcome at all and of course they are creating the problem, but the question is what's the option, this question must be asked to that to the all the powers and the and all the groups in the area, there must be dialogue and understanding. in front of the foreigners and and as we say in arabic people of m knows knows it better than any other nation, there must be understandings between the countries, we must we must look seriously about those problems and we we do not have to cancel those problems to any other time. now mr. ambassador, let's move to the situation inside libya, now... africa lov

in this week's episode of iran tech we've come to bucher city to the south of iran to tell you about what happens under that dome which is bucher's nuclear power plant uh and explain to you. how we use a process called nuclear fision uh to generate 100 megaw hours worth of electricity that is fed to the national power system thanks to the 80 tons of uranium that is stored within this facility. stay tuned, times are listed below. the islamic revolution of iran in... brought about seismic change in the geopolitics of the region, the hegemonic powers faced a new challenge named the islamic republic of iran, which was based on islamic teachings and unwilling to compromise its principles. these and more on this episode of iran today. this is the story of nation that lived here for centuries until an obscure foreign regime emerged and began farming on their lands and brought in new people to replace the old nation, they picked the focal point of attention of different religions in the region, a highly regarded place at the heart of this arabic islamic setting. what would have happened if h

to its flag, give a kiss to iran. dear tafesh , my dear iran, the name is pure, my language is pure, while saying hello to the chaldean ashuri compatriots of iran, as it is you know that we are in the days of allah fajr, approaching 22 bahman, the glorious day of the islamic republic. i congratulate the compatriots of assyria. especially my fellow iranians, bring the good news of rain to the breath of the desert, the dry veins of the trees, the tired night of the porch, the smell of spring to the heart of the trembling branches, the wish of winter, the struggle of the street, the fever of the troubled soul. they are the people of iran, and in the year 1957, when the glorious revolution of the islamic revolution took place, the ashuris, along with other sections of the society and members of the nation , stood up for the right of the oppressed people of iran, and along with other members of the society, in the marches that took place in the year 57 was formed to participate. for example, the symbol of martyrs during th

in iran, so iran was basically the major pillar. business week, the shah said iran has capacity to become a $10 billion dollar market. per annum for the us artillery products, and if the us refuses to sell arms to iran, it will lose that opportunity, and if there is any sharing of resources, well then we can share many things with the united states. as the news over the tension between iran and the us broke, the media in both countries began to adopt new attitudes towards each other. meanwhile, the island of stability was undergoing massive changes in its underneath layers. i don't want to go... into details about these things, because i have already express expressed myself, it is impossible to get anywhere on dictation terms, we are still ready to discuss, as always, all these problems, but the solution of these problems cannot be one-sided and that... once again in the favor of the rich countries of the world. on january 21st, 1977, mahmoud jafferyon, the head of rastoi's or resurrection party, said imperialism is intertwined wit

, do not go to iran . president biden's secretary antony blinken had been clear there is no higher priority than the safety and security of americans and the administration stands by the deal that brought five innocent americans and two of their family members home. this deal was about reuniting these americans with their loved ones. as a part of this arrangement, we facilitated the transfer of $6 billion in restricted iranian funds held in south korea to restricted accounts in qatar for humanitarian use only, not a penny of this money has been spent and these funds will not go anywhere anytime soon. this does not change anything about our approach to iran. they remain an adversary and we will continue to confront it as such. with respect to qatar, its relationship with hamas has been well known to multiple israeli governments including the current government going back many years. it has been and remains extremely helpful in securing hostage releases. at the same time, we have discussed with leaders that

iran is marking the 45th anniversary of the islamic revolution. like previous years, there have been major strides when it comes to iran's advancement overall, but particular when it comes to the economy. although the us and other western sanctions remain in place, iran has been able to advance its economic vision with major strides like in factory production along with gdp growth. hi, i'm. welcome to economic divide. coming up in this program, the islamic republic's 45th anniversary economic advancements, services to rural areas, something that islamic republic is very proud of, and also women advancement, whether it's in the education sector or in terms of jobs. then we move to uh something that has been positive for iran, though negative, and that's illegal sanctions. it has helped. opposite effect where it advanced iran's economy, it increased the domestic production, especially in the arenas such as science, military and the medical fields, then iran's president and his 13th administration, major strides have been made there, such as job crea

90% of iran's oil exports. the houthis have said they will not target chinese vessels but chinese shipping giants like costco and o ocl are among those rerouting away from the red sea and the suez canal. they join other big industry names in sending vessels around south africa's cape of good hope instead. analysts say that increases shipping times by two to four weeks and raises costs by about $1 million per voyage. tesla, volvo, julie, these are some of the companies who have already warned it is going to take longer for their products to hit shelves and showrooms as a result. those products may also end up costing consumers more. the shanghai shipping exchange says ocean freight rates surge more than 300% which in november and january are a major concern for beijing, an increase in western companies shifting production away from china and closer to home. that would be bad news for china's export heavy economy which is already struggling with a property crisis. a shrinking population, and sluggish domestic con

iran may not see it that way.feed leadership in the white house that can see forward-to-or three steps, that as one of these 170 attacks kills an american, there's a plan in place to prevent the 171st or 177nd. it's not about plotting the death of possible terrorists. it's about saying are we doing what is necessary to that this doesn't happen to us. >> martha: exactly. we're looking at this map. tower 22 is the location in the northeastern point of jordan. this was a facility that did a lot of supply work, engineering to support these other bases in the area. also to protect syrian refugees, work with syrians on the ground in the battle against isis. this area has been the subject of a lot of attacks over the course of these 170 attacks that joey just talked about. joey, you know, in terms of -- all right. joey will hang with us for just a moment. we have special report anchor bret baier with us. he traveled extensively in this area. your reaction to this retaliation by the president last said is coming for days

the islamic revolution in iran, led by ayatollah khumeini. the revolution saw the overthrow of the us and israeli backed shah, muhammad rodha pahlavi. and the establishment of the islamic republic of iran. this week's show explores the factors that brought about the revolution, including imam khumaini's focus on drawing inspiration from islam and the shariah to center the new government's foreign policy around support for palestine and opposition to the zionist entity. first we look at the background to the events that led to the victory of the revolution. on february 1st, 1979, ayatollah ruhullah khumeini landed in. tehran to mark the end of 2,500 years of dynastic rule and the victory of the islamic revolution in iran. but it was the culmination of many decades of struggle by imam khumaini and his followers. ruhullah was only two years old when his father was killed by wealthy local clans over his activism against their unjust landlord practices, and perhaps it was that spirit of activism and justice that ran through the veins of the... he

what is iran saying? >> yeah, iran's foreign minister was meeting in tehran with the u.n.'s special representative on yemen and told him specifically the u.s. strikes were going to make it harder to reach peace in the region. this is obviously an articulation of iran's view that the united states is backing israel. that united states the part of the problem in the region and rather overlooks the fact that iran has, is widely seen as essentially convincing, if you will, the houthis to begin these attacks on shipping in the red sea. so what iran is saying by the united states trying to along with allies and partners, trying to keep these busy, important economic shipping routes open through the red sea, is going to make it harder to find peace across the whole region and by implication, i think we can understand the iranian mean in gaza with hamas which is also a proxy of iran. but this is quite a strong comment coming from the iranian foreign minister to put this in such blunt terms. it's not perhaps shocking and it's not perhaps entirely new, but this is a very immediate re

resistance or the syrian resistance, but iran assists all these people, because iran says the iraqi sovereignty, syrian sovereignty, lebanese sovereignty, yemen sovereignty and palestinian liberation, they are all legitimate causes and the reason why they're so successful is because they have popular support, otherwise the united states and their regional proxies or client regimes, they are much more wealthy, but the reason why they... fail is because they are working against the people, they are working against the people of the region, but most importantly in with regards to our discussion, they're against the palestinian people, yeah, and david, i mean, what can we learn about iran's relationship with palestine from from the words of salah al aruri, so aruri of course was uh executed by the israelis in beirot just the other. were weak yeah and but he is was a senior hamas uh commander and leader and uh he had in in several occasions back in 2017 and 2019 made quite long statements about the way in which the iranian government has supported the palestinians that the the palestinia
