iraq relations. if trump wins. if -- vice president harris wins, then, i mean, she promised to maybe have her own administration crafted the way that she envisions this and we expect that to happen to a certain degree. but you know, again, i think the depends again who will be continuing to serve and their president harris if she wins and who will come in as people -- i believe that there are many of the aspects of u.s. iraq relations transcend administrations because there are interests that are durability and problems with solutions for them need to be worked out without regard to who the administration will be. you know, and that's i think -- how the relation will be. i believe that not only we will have new administration and the united states. but by end of 2025 we'll have new administration as well. and most likely, you know, we will have to elect recalibrate that one as well, and relations to the all of that. iraq will continue, i believe, to be important for washington. and i believe that the iraqis also wi

that can be done in iraq. it is particularly fortuitous that you can utilize the carbon that you are capture rising, reinjected into the ground for enhanced oil recovery so you can produce oil more efficiently and more cheaply in iraq. so, i think that these are all different ways you can tackle the problem both near-term and longer-term and to do it in both an economically and environmentally responsible way. >> thank you. that is a really useful snapshot of electricity situation and also what i think most people are interested in this and look at where we are going with some optimism in there which is always something that gives good to offer any of these conversations. i think that that is a great note to hit on that. so, going back a little bit, i would like to have this same question, but building on the industry perspective. building on what georges talked about and adding an independent spirit question is, i would like you to kind of draw a picture for us, same thing. how can iraq meet its demand, energ

iraq security again. plenty of things for us all to be talking about over the next 90 minutes or so. so i think i'll hand it over too each of the panelists to give us a quick instruction to open up to the conversation. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. thank you for this introduction. bring to moderate this panel. u.s. iraq relations are very important for iraq. united's interest in the region as well. the united states has brought post- 2003 change in iraq not just the regime change about an entire change in the social settings of iraq. philosophies and anything that is direct to date is completely different from what it was before 2003. whatever iraq will come to, will be the legacy of the united states government or successive governments on their policies. but is very important but also for iraq as a country that would like to have established a difference in the importance of iraq between 2003 they looked iraq in the past as a source of trouble of problems in the region. to date iraq is trying

iraq needs electricity. supplies have been cut off and a shortage of gas supply which is in fluctuations and reduces domestic gas and electricity production in iraq so continuing to diversify that supply and expanding the domestic resources they think that would be the way to go regardless of the administration and who will take the lead next in iraq is going to be important. some of the supply sources that were mentioned brands in saudi arabia is a country that's very responsible in terms of electric city of production and conscious in terms of low-carbon power generation. they have had a lot of development and new ways of incorporating it into their power generation and also at the time it's affordable. one of the most affordable i would say clean less carbonized electricity in the region so those additional supply sources would help diversify the energy and energy security in the country. >> lesson i want to thank the great panelist for their great expertise and all their insight. in up i think it was rea

i would bet on iraq. you need to bring about the right kind of forward-looking thoughts. >> if you could have done to the comment about the region obviously from u. s. perspective we are interested in the economic and energy part but it's also important for iraq to integrate regionally economically as well and that means beyond the economic integration with iran. economic integration with the rest of the gulf. there is a lot of expertise in finance and companies that could bring a lot to the iraqi economy as well. from our perspective in an iraq that's well-integrated in the region it's also more stable and stronger. stanley thank you for mentioning that. i want to ask you ferid we don't have anyone from the iraqi government but with turkey. where do things stand now and what can we offer the iraqi economy and to the iraqi people? >> that's a very tough one. the thing is development is very much in the early stages. the way i would look at this important part is we have can manage to get it off of the gro

trickle-down to every professor in iraq. it is nice to hear things about iraq in the u.s. wanting to have a good relationship. but even the most innocuous relationship which is the research project between two professors which ought to be honest no one reads anything academic appeared it's not going to amount to huge difference in the world. everyone in this relationship has said something and acted in a different way. that's the biggest trouble going forward. >> have any of these sanctions think it's the banking sector is subject to some u.s. measures is that impacting things of your perspective? >> definitely in the sector you are seeing some of the sanctions play out. but again, what is important is the reform continues to progress because at the end of the day iraq has to part of the global economy. in order to do so the financial services and capitol flow is absolutely critical to the iraq's future in micro economies. to getting that right is very important. what course it can cause difficulties in the short term. in the long term does reap results. one of the big opp

in the beginning in terms of the united states, united states vision for iraq or iran's vision for iraq. i think that that is why it is on the precipice. >> thank you for that. you mentioned the efforts in september. this is iraq's energy future critically important to the u.s. government. the only country he is engaged directly in. encouraging them to invest because he sees the importance of the region in this project. picking up on what you talked about, what i understand is a real conflict generally, but the itp enclosure specifically is causing a lot of problems, keeping the investment from flowing in as you mentioned. can you look in your geopolitical crystal ball and see how that gets remedied? it has been 20 months of it is about to get fixed next week next week. what are, we all know why it is so important. do you have any thoughts on how this could be addressed? >> i have a lot of thoughts. i think at the end of the day, again, it comes back to how i framed it at the beginning. iraq is in the middle of a contest of its future and the vision that iran wants in the vision that th

something that struck me, for years i worked in iraq is that goodyear or bad year i was there when iraq was in a very dire situation. the bulk of the income is going into the functioning of the state which is again going back to the role of the economy it's not just the factors of production by the state it's also the cost of running the state. to have a public sector not as efficient as it used to be, well then you have an issue. if the bulk of your money is going to financing the functioning of the state and meeting your debt obligations what remains for investment becomes that. so their two there's an issue to be discussed. how can you get into a reform that would allow today and tomorrow and over the long-term can you make sure in the public sector is functioning. the numbers will go down and their many ways of doing it. and find solutions and lower the cost of running the state possibly and make investments that would then trigger with a number of our countries are trying to do so there's more space for private public partnership whereby having the state invest at this newly-acquir

won a war in iraq united states had started a war in iraq this moment encapsulated everything they predict so the iraq war, we're saying, which was that this was too much about marketing and not enough about solid intelligence and then the other thing that was not particularly covered here as aggressively as i think you would agree, it should have, which is where are the weapons of mass destruction? where are they exactly? >> i mean, we get there and there's no secret labs, there's no reactor, there's no centrifuges. the whole cost of war suddenly seems rather suspect there is an understatement. >> because as soon as us troops landed in iraq, it quickly became apparent that americans were safe from wmo these in iraq as the troops actively searching for them. no weapons of mass destruction were found at far from being a quick victory iraq went up in sectarian flame i remember this very well. i was writing for the website salon.com, and i was covering the way us service members were not finding weapons of mass destruction most americans and journalists seemed to take it for granted that wmd

unfortunately, we alhamdulillah, all the rockets fired from iraq passed outside of iraq, in iraq, butjordan, despite the fact that the jordanian people were completely aligned with the resistance axis in the past days , the news that reached us is that the air defense unfortunately, jordan was trying to prevent the barrel of these missiles and was only able to shoot down two to three of these missiles that were moving towards israel, which was also met with strong protests by the people of jordan and even the people of the baghtri bank and even the people of gaza. these protests continued and popular protests against jordan's policies it is still going on, but in general, it can be said that people in iraq were happy about this operation, and up to this moment, the iraqi media has fully covered this operation and provided solid analysis. that the inalienable right of the resistance axis countries is to avenge the blood of haniyeh and the revenge of hassan rasulullah , this is the inalienable right of the islamic republic of iran and the inalienable rights of free countries, especially

why do iraq you go so far couldn't bring these? >> so you should address questions with the iraqi government to the iraqi government. i will say that of course we continue to be concerned about the presence of iran backed militias inside iraq. they continue to destabilize iraq secret situation. they continue to risk iraq being dragged into a conflict. the iraqi people want nothing to do with. that's why we designated these organizations as terrorist organizations just as with other armenian sponsored militia groups such as hezbollah, such as hamas. and we continue to talk with the iraqi government about the importance of preventing attacks from within iraq borders, prevent attacks on u.s. personnel, u.s. interest inside iraq and the board's of holy people accountable. >> so far has not responded to the ceasefire that may one day. i have a request israeli orchestra not attack these groups inside iraq know to prevent the warfield -- over to iraq and shield the iraqi -- of expert i'm not going to get into private diplomatic discussion

were fit with it at all. >> i hope for is to be in service of iraq and iraqis and to put iraq first in, all are policies that are built on respecting others and building balanced relationships prime minister, thank you for joining us thank you thanks to all of you for being part of my program this week i will see you next week if you ever miss it's a show. you can always listen to my podcast, go to cnn.com/fareed for link to. you can listen on whatever app you use black people for better or worse, a lot of people came away from that. they get and it's my turn to talk. i must say tv on the edge moments that shaped our culture. tonight at nine on cnn, i brought in a juror max protein with 30 grams of protein. >> those who try be felt more energy and justice two weeks. >> here, i'll take that, ensure max protein, a protein, one gram sugar and a protein blend feed muscles up to seven hours my name, age braden i was 5-years-old when i came to send you home, try and shore and down the story shell, i've been having these good age that when i go away, my mom, she was just crying what they s

sistani, the the highest spiritually. in iraq already said for the irakis, for all the irakis, go and fight in solidarity with your fellow brothers and in hisbullah, the yemanies, the syrians, the iranians and they are not reservis. but i'm telling you their ideology is not to be underrated at all, what i think is so important for for again for the us audience is to understand, people in the united states don't understand because they're getting their information from the american media, that hezbulah is part of key part of the fabric uh, this the heart and soul of lebanese society, and it's regardless of ideology or religion because of course there are different religions in lebanon, this this understanding that lebanon's life is at stake, there's an existential issue facing all people in lebanon, and all of the resistance forces, including hesbula will be regarded as people defending the nation, if the americans or the american policy makers really want to defeat hizballah, it doesn't happen by denying the fact. will the israelis win in a ground invasion? the facts say that they nev

. - i was very much against the war in iraq, didn't agree with that, but i felt honor bound to be part of that. i felt honor bound to serve. - boomers had the draft, millennials had an unofficial draft. after 9/11, you started to see military recruiters going to the high school, and they would really kind of sell us on the gi bill, and your college being paid for. and you'd look at that sort of like a stepping stone in order to create this better life for yourself. right after high school, i went to basic training, and less than six months later, i got orders to go to iraq for 545 days. - [kristen] more than a million american soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines were deployed to iraq. (soldier shouting) the vast majority were millennials. - when we went to war, i was a kid in an nyu dorm, and national news is broadcasting it live, and they called it shock and awe. - shock and awe. - [newscaster] shock and awe. - [reporter] the air campaign of shock and awe continues. - we thought we would just go in there, bomb them for five days, and we'll show them who's boss, and we'll leave. and

us bases in iraq have been attacked multiple times this year and some believed that iraq is today more allied with its neighbor iran then with the united states. >> i had the opportunity recently to sit down with the prime minister mohammad al sudani when he was in new york for the un general assembly ever since you have taken office, you have called for the withdrawal of american troops from iraq yet the reason they are there, which is isis seems to be a problem that has not gone away. >> this is his expanded its operations in syria there are even some accounts that it has made a terror attacks within iraq you sure that if us troops leave? isis will not return as it did once in the past her cool material, my government has committed itself in front of the parliament to rearrange. >> its relationship with the international alliance to fight isis hi there to help whether the this alliance was formed because of an invitation by the iraqi government in 2014, what could have coco have at the harlow and this alliance achieved with the help of iraq and friends outside of the alliance. >> and

we remember the martyr hassan nasrallah of hezbollah, the people of lebanon, yemen, syria, and iraq, the main missiles of iran are the people of hezbollah. these are the students of tola and tebra schools. in 1313, the people of kashan took an action that really deserves praise. 1300 years old they are celebrating this ceremony. they mean that we are ready to spend money for the quran and for the ahl al-bayt, and this is the lesson of tuli and tebarist. we need this today . imam and the supreme leader and his followers as guardians, god willing, we will soon see the disappearance of cancer. the symbol of bloodlust and the carpet as the most valuable earthly gift is the symbol of the martyr 's body. 1391 has been registered. hamed abbasi , mashhad radio and television news agency, ard hal, kashan. thank you very much for being with us. there is no power but only god. there is no victory and victory for children unless it is on the side of god almighty, and today, children, god almighty is great and his honor shines with the dark spots, the black spots, the invisible spots , god has en

bush whom i have the highest respect for but disagreement on iraq, going into iraq, he says we routed the taliban. routed ain't good enough. crush is what we have to do. they routed them. they headed for the hills. they just waited for the opportunity to come back, and they will infiltrating all along. so we should never have left unfinished business in afghanistan when we did then in order to go into iraq. and when i went to iraq to visit the troops, right -- >> you could've made the decision, you mention one thing she picked up in his book which is you say it's not a blow-by-blow political memoir but it is one of the passages you picked out in opposition to. >> when we went into iraq with jack murtha and mr. hopson who just passed away from ohio, we talk to the troops right with initiation of hostilities. we were in kuwait actually before the way into -- i said to the troops who want to see what, see what their needs were. i was opposed to it but we have to support our troops and that was kind of a conflict in her own caucus in that. but i said to the troops what is your morale like

it was said that in iraq, syria and yemen , the power of hezbollah was brought to the stage and it led to victory over the terrorist groups and the coalition that invaded yemen . i asked mr. anderson about the role of the hezbollah region during the leadership of seyed hassan nasrallah. very important role particularly in not just in lebanon in the expulsion of israelis which is massive enough in itself, but also in clearing the tuck theory terrorism introduced by the us and its collaborators in the region, its successors and isis or dash, the al qaid style terrorist groups that were there only to support the divide and rule aims of the anglo-american imperialist basically, they had no roots in genuine muslim society in the... the were artificial creations of course supported by some of the collaborator or comprador arab regimes like saudi arabia , qatar, for example, later's turkey for example, some of the others, but that role in syria was very important, of course, led many of the fights through the mountains, many of the towns and cities have become names of famous battles there wh

alexander lukashenko noted that this is a significant date for the history of iraq. belarus and iraq can become reliable partners in solving existing problems, strengthening stability and promoting peace in our regions, the belarusian leader emphasized. if moldova and ukraine join the european union, the lands of these countries will be sold to foreign investors, the eu ambassador to the eu said on local television republic of moldova janis mažeik. the diplomat admitted that this issue will become part of. negotiations on european integration in moldova there are many abandoned and sparsely populated villages, they will go to foreign buyers who will improve the economic situation, either their own or moldova's. the eu ambassador was echoed by a member of the ruling coalition of latvia, according to him, the accession of kiev and chisinau to the union will mark a total sale of lands, riga has already lost them, half of the country's territory has been bought up by the swedes, danes and others foreigners, said the latvian official. will the result change from the chang

the tigris and euphrates rivers that come from iraq actually enter the mouth of ervunderwood. they are completely sticking israel to our border and to such an extent that one of the actions that they have taken is that today the equation is completely reversed, today israel is surrounded and imprisoned behind concrete walls a few meters away, and israel is killing itself in syria today, and iran should not be in syria. because it came stuck to the wall, in fact israel is iran's allies. sticking to israel's wall in gaza is iran's allies. they are located in the middle of occupied lands. this is one of the special actions of sardar soleimani and his strategic view in these years, the islamic republic of iran was trying to ensure both the security of the region and the maximum extent of our own national security, mr. amir abdullahian, you are constantly talking about the influence of martyr soleimani, both in the formation of the resistance front and in the discussion of the defeat of isis. you said that americans and zionists have messed up the planning of the insecurity in the

it is a sister who was with us in iraq with her brother.ikh hossein and sheikh hassan yasin and this is their sister, and i am here with. what was important for us in this matter, as they say, if you are satisfied with someone's religion and morals, give him a wife , and as a result, the personal relationship between us and mr. seyed accelerated this process and prepared the ground. . my servant and mr. seyyed mohammad hossein fazlullah and his son-in-law, whose name i do not remember now, went. what is important is that we went to yasin's family and the match was made and they moved his wife to belbek. the time interval between the marriages of the brothers was close to each other, that is, each of them married the person he had chosen, but despite this issue, we referred to each other more often, for example, the person who was getting married, if they followed him. they could not find him at his house, when they came to the school, they saw that we were sitting together or discussing or talking, that is, after almost 2 years of our prese

well, he was a general, but when he was appointed, he was asked by his friends in iraq, iran and america should negotiate on the issue of iraqi security. the responsibility of this case was assigned by the supreme leader to sardar soleimani, that is, sardar soleimani, who is doing military work against america's destabilizing movements and actions in the region, when the discussion of negotiations arises in iraq , sardar soleimani becomes the leader of the negotiations and guides the negotiations, this shows sardar soleimani believes in negotiation. sardar soleimani believes that all methods should be used to ensure the maximum national security of the country and the security of the region. indeed , sometimes, for example, we have nearly 100 hours of meetings. we were discussing all the scenarios in that meeting , sardar answered all our questions and created many questions in our minds. do you know what the result was? the result was that when we left , we were at the negotiating table with the americans. there are dozens of cases where when we raise the american side to the americans,

road that leads iran and iraq to syria. we have eastern syria and america is still supporting them, which means that this path of weakening bashar al -assad's government, which is the government elected by the people in the elections, is still open for the americans and they try to use every opportunity. i will say this sentence in the first part. i said that the americans themselves are to blame they were in syria, unfortunately i don't remember the name of that commander now, but to weaken the assad government, we supported the terrorists in syria , which are isis, this case is still open for the americans , they continue to use every opportunity they can, despite the fact that the situation is relatively stable now. in syria however , some areas are still not under occupation, but they are being harassed by opposition and terrorist groups that are supported by america, turkey and some other countries. they are trying to put pressure on damascus to annoy in a way despite everything as the goals of the united states of ame

it targeted high for port. from iraq distance of 700 kilometers, that's quite a range and quite a feet, something that they have done in joint operations in the past with the yemeni army as well, so these joint operations uh taking place, you have the the iraqi resistance group targeting the port of hyfa, all with the soul aim of wanting to stop the israeli regime from waging this genocidal war against the palestinians. scott bennet is with us, we also have our other guest. sad nimmer, professor at the political science at bersett university uh who joins us. let me um, let me go with you. i'm sorry, we don't have us, we don't have our uh guest side member uh with us, uh, we have our guest from nairobi joining us. uh, let me start with our guest there in nairobi, welcome to the program. we just talked about the joint operations taking place uh between the resistance groups, but in particular uh our focus in this particular graphic we just ran had to deal with the iraqi um group, the islamic resistance in iraq. uh targeting the israeli regime, but overall uh, give us your view of how eff

iraq's eight popular forces like the syrian people's forces.ballah is invincible in lebanon, the previous situation has collapsed, now yes, sadr nasrallah is being attacked with 9-nib bombs donated by the united states, which is the main killer, and 9 of these bombs have been dropped together on the headquarters of fadlallah. and being the chief of cane sellers, sayyed hasan niu, now we must curse only israel. we curse america, not rome, this situation that has arisen now , these honest promises must be repeated, and from other places as well, namely the people of iraq, the people of syria, the people of lebanon, the people of bahrain, and the rest of the nations of the region, especially these yemeni lions, who really should be thanked for this. he bowed and landed in maqash that you are in the same position today. they attacked the american ships today. this movement has started. it is true that now they are bombing lebanon with american bombs, but hezbollah, which is in lebanon came into being and its leader was first seyed abbas mousavi and

is the meaning of god alone, and after god almighty , there is the axis of resistance from yemen to iraq to syria, lebanon and palestine, the islamic republic of lebanon and palestine, the blessed victory that will not be revealed to us in any day of the days, it was the meaning of our struggle in all of us, us. my strength and strength today in the field of struggle, without a doubt, we are not alone , the entire axis of resistance is with us, palestine, yemen, iraq syria, all of these are with us under the leadership of the islamic republic of iran, the proud islamic republic of iran that has never left us alone and will never leave us alone. labik, or rasulullah labik, or rasulullah labik, or rasulullah labik, or rasulullah labik, or rasulullah, the americans since the past and the west , since the 19th century ad, that is, the first world war, the overthrow of the ottomans , the division of the region, and the establishment of the israeli entity on palestine. for the sake of the wealth of oil resources and for the sake of enslaving us all and the struggle against islam, and the strug

anderson from the iraq war, my spanish teacher. this question is regarding you and your allies' fight against terrorism in pakistan. [speaking spanish] tell me who your friends are and i will tell you who you are. yesterday we had a journalist killed in pakistan -- the second anniversary of a journalist killed in pakistan two years ago. 10 years ago and isi official went to the court, a high court judge now, to rule against me. fingers are pointed out your allies. how does this affect you? how do you feel about him? sec. singh: i'm not familiar with the case you are referencing. i can tell you that broadly this administration and department supports journalists wherever they work to be able to report freely and without fear of harassment. do you have one more? reporter: i would like two more. the state department usually gives political answers. you give more realistic answers. two more would be great. last week we had several parliamentarians picked up in pakistan. just to have their foot -- vote in a constitutional amendment. in

at the same time carrying out operations in iraq against isis. the islamic state of iraq and syria dedicate to attacking the united states came back to life if you will in 2011 and 2012 after a disastrous decision to withdraw abruptly from iraq. so we operated against that and we conducted operations in afghanistan ultimately of course based on decision made by the united states to withdraw. we executed that withdrawal in the summer of 2021 we were generally successful. not always happy with the results that occur but against iran which was a central threat that took most of my energy and the free -- three years i was in command. because they pose a primary threat to the region and a primary threat to u.s. interest in the region. host: on the withdrawal would you say it was successful, is that how you look back on it? guest: i did not recommend that we withdrawal. it was ultimately decision made by u.s. national leadership who executed withdrawal -- we executed withdrawal from afghanistan and got our people out pray it was not without loss of lif

there palestine was blessed with elections, iraq and so on.n how did you think, did you really believe that it would change, or was it just a game? i had to study a little later. "either you change, or your regimes will fall like a house of cards, and we will..." politics, which again ended with the famous episode when the americans insisted on elections in gaza, the israelis, i was there then, i saw that this caused great rejection among them, but the americans stood firm, demanded, candida rice called, which means that prime minister sharon demanded it directly and the elections were held - as a result, hamas came to power completely legally. the palestinian issue seems to be an absolute dead end, inescapable, and has been going on for a long time. now there is another surge that reminds us that there is no escape from it, but there were periods, well, at least, of expectations and hopes, like the nineties, and if you remove emotions, if you remove all sorts of, that is, political manipulations, over these 30-odd years, have we made any prog

is a brotherhood and iraq is a brotherhood. god is great, god is great , god is great. the carriage inside mastahada al-aqsa allah, thank you for your company, may god protect you on the 3rd of march. tfahata south of lebanon, the soul of our imam al-khomeini, may god bless him and grant him peace, as we promise you, o imam al-qa'id al-sayed ali khamenei. seyyed abbas mousavi, the secretary general of hezbollah, along with his wife and young son , were martyred by the israeli army. a day later, seyed hassan nasrallah was announced as the new secretary general of hezbollah. nasrallah was not more than 31 years old by that time, but he had experienced many events until that year. describing his childhood, he says: we didn't know eid and holidays and we didn't know what they meant. he did not travel and have fun the poor also had an ingrained custom and did not exist in our house, and this was the result of poverty. nasrallah was 15 years old when the lebanese civil war started. shortly before the start of the war, nasrallah's fam

you really have — iran iraq war. absolutely. you really have to _ iran iraq war. absolutely.. absolutely. you really have to go back- iran iraq war. absolutely. you really have to go back to - iran iraq war. absolutely. you really have to go back to the i really have to go back to the 19805 really have to go back to the 1980s when the iraqi air force were targeting cities like tehran. this is a new era for the islamic republic. essentially, a government that for the last 45 years has chosen to have this ideological foreign policy with enmity towards israel at the top of its list. but a long time, the islamic republic could say to the people of iran that this is a fight against israel that has been fought out of there in lebanon, in syria, in gaza, and now that is lying on the case, the fighting is actually happening over the skies of tehran, and this, one has to wonder, has the potential to maybe, if you are hopeful, change the calculating of the iranian regime and give them reason to perhaps think some of their strategic foreign policy is that they have stuck to over the las

. >> last week iranian backed groups in iraq killed -- iraq attack the golan heights. have you talked to the iraqi government about -- to stop attacking israel? and why the iraqi government so far -- >> you should address questions for the iraqi government to the iraqi government. i will say of course we continue to be concerned about the presence of iran backed militias inside iraq. they continue to the stabilized iraq's security situation. they continue to risk iraq being dragged into a conflict the iraqi people want nothing to do with. that is why we designated these organizations terrorist organization as we have other iranian backed militia groups such as hezbollah, such as hamas. we continue to talk to the iraqi government about the importance of preventing attacks from within iraq's borders, preventing attacks on u.s. interests inside iraq and the importance of holding people accountable. >> have you ever requested israeli -- not to attack these groups in order to prevent the war not to spill over to iraq? >> i'm not going to get into private diplomatic discussi

who treated... with his as peers, heads of state, heads of nations in other countries in iran and iraq and and syria in particular in yemen, had those very close relationships with the palestinian factions and was also a great speaker, a great public speaker hugely in demand lebanon, but also recognized internationally, because he was, although he was a deeply religious man and a humble man, nevertheless he was able to speak with humanistic. which cut through to people other cultures, you do not have to be a muslim to understand and appreciate the ethics and the powerful logic, the moral logic of, particularly of course in the confrontation, which is become really as many have said a cancer, tumor in the region which causes conflict everywhere, which is really attacking all of the nations of the region and attempting to impose its will on everyone and steal land from so in that context became really a great hero in the global south, i would say, not just in west asia or the arab and muslim world, but in the global south, he became very well recognized hero, resistance leader since the

this is nonsense, we know that the government lied about vietnam, iraq, afghanistan, it also lied about panama, syria, iran, kosovo, somalia, yemen, egypt. right now they're lying to russia and israel, so you can't just assume they lied before and they don't now. you just can't believe it. so let's get started. i think most of us realize that the bushes are war criminals. they gave us weapons of mass destruction. iraqi soldiers throwing babies out of incubators. this beautiful story came out of a new york pr firm. and we turned saddam hussein into monster, even though he was a cia partner. of course, because we wanted war. and guess who else was a cia agent, noriego from panama. did you know that? but despite that, we bombed all of panama city in '89 to bring down a government that simply thought about not doing business with the united states. by the way, bush. did the largest aerial bombing of a city since world war ii, operation justice, and it was an unprovoked attack on civilians, no one is exactly sure about the deaths. i counted because the us army wouldn't let the media in, nor

palestine was then blessed with elections, iraq and so on.n did you think they really believed that it would change, or was it just a game? i had to do a little bit of it later. politics, which again ended with the famous episode when the americans insisted on elections in gaza, the israelis then i was there, i saw that this caused them great rejection, but the americans stood firm, demanded, the candidacy called - that means prime minister sharon directly demanded and the elections were held - as a result, completely on legal grounds, hamas came to power. the palestinian issue seems to be an absolute dead end, inescapable, has been going on for a long time. now there is another surge, which reminds us that there is no escape from it, and there were periods, well, in any case, of expectations of hopes, like the nineties, and if you remove emotions, if you remove all sorts of, that is, political manipulations, over these 30-odd years, have we made any progress on this issue, if we talk specifically about the palestinian problem, then the answe

one day they came to me and said that my father, by god, sayyid mael, wants to send me to iraq.aid, "my son, if you want." to be honest with you , there is no problem in sending you to iraq, iran or casablanca, but i have no financial means. i don't have it, he said, don't be sad at all. i just want your satisfaction, i said that there is no problem and they went to the city of sur again and they said that they are ready . i wrote a letter to my master shahid mohammad baqir sadr and gave it to him and they traveled to najaf ashraf. in fact, i met seyyed hassan nasrallah in 1978 , that is, in najaf in 1978, when our master seyyed mohammad baqir al-sadr came to najaf to obtain islamic education and seminary. and his young age attracted my attention. he was almost 16 years old at that time. almost in the first six months of the beginning of his studies among the students they shone and stood out, seyyed abbas paid special attention to them. when they came to najaf. he was a religious studies student, but after a few months, he started teaching lessons that he had learned a few mont

invasion, the iran — iraq war of 1980 to 1988 -- invasion, the iran — iraq war of 1980 to 1988 "1988s war of 2006. but this is different. two heavily armed countries, sovereign states, israel, and he ran, with huge amount of weapons on both sides, both low with each other and neither side is backing down. and israel is now seen, we owe you one, and iran is saying, if you do, we will hit back even harder, and what we have shown so far is only a fraction, so so far is only a fraction, so so far is only a fraction, so so far iran says the only targeted israel military sites, and excite if israel hits them, they would target not only other sites, potentially civilian sites, but also all those countries which they deemed to be helping israel, and that could potentially mean hitting us bases around the region, even british bases, as far as some in cyprus, potentially within range of their party one missiles, or others months so there is a lot of ways that this could catastrophize just beyond a fight between israel and its enemies, so it is a dangerous moment for sure. tote enemies, so it i

iranian missiles hit iraq's rafday bank. these missiles were fired later. increased at the time of his martyrdom , irgc air force had more than 15 models of missiles. he had a meteor and a steady rise and fall. aerospace has more than 30 models of missiles now. the published images show the impact of the missiles on the intended targets. part of the zionist military bases was the target of the attack. pilgrimage day of agha imam reza (peace be upon him). the enemies at the end of our independence, the partner of iraq, this line is the beginning of an endless way of research in the region beautiful last city of west news agency. and the divine face, in your hope, in the name of hazrat doost , from whom everything is. good morning, dear viewers of the news channel, may god be good and happy. with pride , greetings from the reporter, today, the 12th of mehr, 1403 , we offer you kind looks.

iraq was victim and its people paid a huge price. afghanistan was a victim lebanon, lebanon is is enduring sanctions as well as syria and other iraq used to have also to endure this collective punishment by the us before they destroyed it and before the us occupied it, um, so this is what we are witnessing right now, a war. with the usa or the usa has waged a war against us in order to meet their interest in to change the map of the middle east according to... to their interest and in order to step ahead in front of the new world order which is imposing itself on the ground, which is changing the the old game of the unipolarism, it's changing the the us as a super, it's changing the whole scene for the us as a super power. so we are witnessing the the barbaric and savage war by the us and its functional military this year. thank you so much. imel, please stay with us. we just received the news of a terrorist attack in southeast iran killing at least four people, including an irgc commander. details to follow on this, we will be updat

and now iraq is under their control. people don't want to stay, they say go out , let's go out sooner. i'm sad that they are delaying . you behaved in such a way that this situation is also in syria, it is also in yemen, it is also in other places, it is even in countries like the arab countries of the region. he put pressure on them, they are really happy because they are upset about this domination . naturally, people don't want to be under foreign domination, no country wants to. i do not understand this feature kenan, and i think that many of america's own opinion leaders say that we behaved wrongly in the middle east , but sometimes their material interests take over and continue the same wrong behavior. this wrong behavior itself has adverse effects. you and the people of the region have an unfavorable behavior. they don't have any reaction and that's why i don't think this issue will have a good fate for them. in general, do you think that the operation of sadegh devi's promise that happened brought us closer to t

we saw one of the most viral videos of isis when they were entering iraq, coming into iraq, with you know brand new toyota suv, which raised the question, where did this group of togs get the amount of money to purchase such you know high quality branded cars and how did they pass through the united states you know um radar when we know that the us has as of that time um iraq and um syria under 24 hours monitoring and this you know thugs came. a in mile long suvs and they were not attacked, but the you know isbullah and the resistance within the region rose up against them and fought against them even though they claimed to be muslim, so we see the consistency with um, you know, with the resistance, drawing their strength and their inspiration from the struggles of all the prophets before them, and also the imams that came after the prophet. let's take the story of jesus christ for. example, when he rose up against the oppression of the romans or the the the the the the revolution of moses when he rose up against you know pharaoh who he grew up in the house of pharaoh so for for the

-led for with this iraq he led? >> thanks, carla. so one the raid, we will have more details to follow. again my understanding this was a partner grade and so as with more information we will certainly get that up. >> just to follow up on the leak. leak. i know you mentioned the individual is that an investigation. he said the store ambiguity, type out -- [inaudible] >> i can look, fororororor purps of reporting here i do what you start throwing at names to perpetuate information that again as i highlighted to my knowledge the official that was being referenced is that a subject of interest. just leave it there. >> does the pentagon feel that the leak did originate in the pentagon? >> again this is under investigation so i'm not quite of any comment to provide on an ongoing investigation. >> just a follow up on the leak. can you help us understand why the pentagon isn't conducting its own investigation? you said you're supporting the fbi. why is it dod conducting their own or have system failed or broke down? >> i'm getting a stateme

when they flooded the zone in iraq, - flooded the zone in iraq, the army capability really did come undertion. the _ under pressure. brilliant question. the iranians i under pressure. brilliant - question. the iranians designed an ied called the fp which is explosive force penetrator and with that effectively is, if we can bring up a slide of an efp looks like it's basically a camera with explosions in the place and it and it melts the copper and turns the copper into a potent projectile in the use of this inside iraq was deadly against us armour and you have these tanks in high ground and the bottlenecks and if you have these militant groups coming in with that experience and they start putting ied in the road that can prove very problematic in israel could get clogged down in that area of southern lebanon quite quickly. truly fascinating _ lebanon quite quickly. truly fascinating and _ lebanon quite quickly. truly fascinating and gives - lebanon quite quickly. truly fascinating and gives an - fascinating and gives an impression that although hezbollah is been subdued, there are lots of

in the size of the restrictions that existed in iraq.the other hand, more important than all this, and besides these, yemen's ansarullah announced to the sana'a government that it will enter this conflict and this conflict, and this is the first time in the history of the arab-israeli conflict that yemen has become an actor in the middle east. he was a marginal actor in the heart of the events of the middle east and the palestinian issue it was not direct. for the first time, in fact, yemen's game level is at the level of the regional and influential game. you are dealing with the most important issue in the region, which is the issue of palestine, and the zionist regime actually promoted it, and the islamic republic of iran, as the originator of the resistance strategy, who, after the islamic revolution of iran, actually went against two paths in the arab world, a classic war path. and the second way, the way of compromise and submission to israel, the third way was presented as a school by imam khomeini and then the leader of the revol

one of the largest mass graves tied to daesh was unearthed near the town of sunjar in iraq after the region was liberated from their control in 2015. this grave held the remains of over 80 izadi women, a chilling testimony to the terrorist group's brutal campaign. however, the situation in gaza presents an even more. more somber narrative, in april 2024, the discovery of mass graves there sent shock waves through the international community. the largest of these was found at the narcer medical complex in hanyunus, where following the withdrawal of israeli troops, palestinian civil defense teams began the grim work of exhuming bodies. the united nations human rights relief volk turg expressed his horror upon learning that hundreds of bodies were found in mass graves and at two of gaza's major hospitals. palestinian authorities reported the recovery of nearly 400 bodies, some of whom were tragically found still clad in surgical gowns. the deceased ranged from elderly women to young men and children, presenting a harrowing and stark tableau of the tragic events. throughout its campaign

, they didn't spend all those billions of dollars in vain to capture iraq and they still somehow comeiraq like in venepukh, and you see, in syria they didn't like what they achieved either so over the course of all these last years, they have been building this... this has led to hundreds, let's say, tens, thousands of deaths, there from among the peaceful people, those who counted on a peaceful track on the lebanese event, they were also mistaken and this containment, it led to greater losses in fact, and even our iranian friends, who even the president himself, the new president of iran, said that the americans deceived us, here they are... let's talk about pre-election america. november 5 thank you to your guest, and now we will have elections and the us residents will choose their new, or old leader. kamela harris from the democrats is currently gaining 49% of potential voters, that is how many people in percentage terms are ready to give their vote for her, for donald trump a little less, 47%. but it's all about the so -called swing states, on... they will be the main focus, the

so that iraq would fight iran, to go through a certain historical cycle.states of america is putting its strategic goals at risk, we see this also in the financial sphere, when they, like an elephant in a china shop, destroy the financial system, which... in fact, in many ways we ourselves built, but now we are dealing with such a unique situation, when there is one side, it is israel, and maybe even more, of course, not the people, not ordinary israelis, but... the leadership of the country, which really wants to unleash a big war, on the other hand, there is iran, which does not want a big war, and there is a third country, the united states of america, which is arming and pushing the first side, but on the other hand, based on its tactical interests, is not interested in escalating a local conflict into some big war, this is such a fragile balance, when one side tries to use the other, pushing the third, in general such a terrible k... in which it is very difficult to make predictions, but it seems to me that the position of iran , which responds when i

— militias in iraq? absolutely. i believe iran _ militias in iraq? absolutely.utely. i believe iran is very _ militias in iraq? absolutely. i believe iran is very well - militias in iraq? absolutely. i| believe iran is very well aware of the dangers that it may be bringing on itself from israel. when the prime minister speaks about israel's ability to reach anywhere in the region, clearly, it behoves everyone in the region to take the statement seriously. there are operations against hezbollah but are unprecedented and extraordinary and extraordinarily successful, and let's be clear here — there may be a way forward for this way, by undermining hezbollah to such an extent. i don't believe it, but it may indeed bring them to the table to find a way of a ceasefire, even without the ceasefire that they have demanded in the gaza strip. but when you see that hamas has not been eradicated, even after a year from the strongest military in the region, it is hard to believe that hezbollah is going to come to heal in the same way in any short period of time. and israel ha
