forces on the battlefield against daesh. you all note about the critical role of lotenant general qasam sulaimaniting daesh, on the other hand, the really regime has tried over the past few months to deal blows with the islamic republic, directly or indirectly by for example, assassinating sayid razi musavi and salih. since october 7, tel aviv has respectly tried to drag iran into the war. the regime has been an hot voter for more than three months. and since the us is preparing for presidential elections, biden doesn't want to get serishly involved in a new war, so by trying to drag iran into the war, the israelies are in fact trying to get washington involved in it with its full force. but how should we treat what just happened in kerman as a separate attack by a terrorist group already tatters after it received a series of deadly blows from the resistance front, or as part of a bigger plot, # iran as the center piece of the resistance access. the tragic incident came day after hamas deputy leader saleh al-arori was assassinated in an israeli drone attack in beirot. iran condemned the assassina

qasam sulaimani was the only person, the only leader who destroyed this new world order and this greater plot of america. sulaimanii pe upon him was institution who is growing on people today. he was not just a person, but institution who fought for the oppressed of the world and made immense sacrifices all his life. the israeli assassination of the hamas deputy chief salah al drone strike in the lebanese capital has sparks condemnations yemens and the movement said statement heinous crime represents violation of all international laws and humanitarian norms called assassination evidence of israel's brutality and barbarism once again lebanaza resistance movement decried the assassination is dangerous attack on lebanese sovereignty warning israel prime will not go unpunished a lebanise prime minister also said the criminal act is aimed at drawing his country further into israel's genocidal war. meanwile palestinian islamic jihad resistance condemned israely act of terrorism saying the resistance will continuous fight until complete defeat of the occupying regime. iran also denounced the c

general qasam sulaimani. welcome back to the news here on press tv. iran's foreign ministry says the recent military action against the terrorist group in pakistan was due to immediate necessity to counter an imminent terror attack. the ministry spokesman said in his weekly pressure that relations between techman and islamabad remain strong and this has been emphasized by both sides. kanani added that terrorism is a comp common threat to both sides, the spokesman also said national security is red line for tehran. he said the recent strikes against the security base of israel in iraq's kurdistan region are in the same line and do not reflect action against iraq and its sovereignty. tehran has recently carried out number of attacks in iraq and syria against terrorist cells linked to israel and daesh terrorists. the funeral ceremony is being held in the iranian capital tehran for three members of the islamic. revolution guard score who were killed in an israeli strike in syria. people gathered in a northeastern neighborhood in the city to pay tribute to

um, put that into context for us as to why what haj qasam sulaimani did uh needs to continue not only through the resistance fronts, but also uh as a unified region to fight against uh the u.s. and i guess terrorist actions when it comes to this region as a whole. the central focus of general sulaimani, may god bless his soul and my deep condolences today on his fourth anniversary to the iranian people and to the whole muslim world and to the people in kerman, his own village. i am shocked after entering the studio, hearing the news that the blast. has been bombed close to his uh where he was buried, actually the burial of kasim sulaimani. let me get back to the analysis, i believe the strength of the general sulaimani, haj kasim was his central command of fighting the americans and the israels in in various or several fronts, actually he did cooperate. with the anti-american movement in iraq after the invasion of iraq by the us administration under george bush junior and donald rumsfeld, we all remember the tyrany, the tyranical movement by the us administration back then, the killin

the unfortunate cowardly terrorist incidence that has taken place in kerman, the hometown of qasam sulaimani, so it's a kind of somber and solemn atmosphere that you're seeing here, however people are going to try to uphold their spirits in terms of the respects that they want to and to and desired to give to the uh commander general. okay, the head of the judiciary of iran has said has said that our nation, and i'm quoting him, will not give up on the holy ideals and loving the light path of dear hajj qasam due to these desperate movements. do you think that this was attempt to show qasim sulaymani in a rather weak light or in a different light in the... a light where it's supposed to decrease the popularity perhaps that he holds uh in uh the hearts of not only iranians but in this region a particular and possibly around the world. well israel is killed many uh iranian nuclear scientists in the past and look where iran is in its advanced nuclear capability today. israel is killed many irgc iranian commanders that were serving to support the population against isis and the takfiries and also

been one of the key players in one form or another to support the terrorist and of course uh qasam sulaimani was at the forefront of fighting these terrorists um the re in vekuration of the resist front is what iran's leader has said is what is one of the remnance of what uh he left behind uh can you explain that further for us if you can uh first of all thank you very much for having and i would like also extend my condolences to the families of the victims of this event incident that happened in paramon you it is correct that the united states is the main support of terrorists terrorism across. word and as just was just mentioned, the americans were behind formation of isis, it is not an analysis, it is not a claim, it is fact which was admitted by general michael fleen and some other officials of the united states who quote and coult deliberately allowed the terrorist group to be formed so that they would weaken asset government in syria and the resistance in iraq, it was quote and quote what they... at set on the other side of the story is the resistant movement which has been trying to
