general sulaimani led the elite quds force of iran's islamic revolution guard score or the irgc from 1988 up until the time of his assassination, but the fact of the matter is that he was not just an iranian commander who made certain achievement. and left, no, his character and strategy actually turned into a school of thought that is still the driving force behind the regional resistance movement and keeps shaking the foundations of the israeli occupation and american in imperialism even more strongly than before. his school of thought is actually still the driving force, the the source of inspiration for the regional resistance access against israel. let's take a... quick look at his major achievements in nutshell: angered by the islamic revolution in iran in 1979, the u.s. and its allies helped provoke eight-year iraqi war against the nacent islamic establishment in the hope of destroying it. that plot, however, went down the drain thanks to the public mobilization and foundation of the irgc and the brilliant role that its commanders, including general sulaimani, played on the bat

general sulaymani led the elite quds force of iran's islamic revolution guards core or the irgc from was to fight against the main source of instability and insecurity in the broader muslim region, namely israel's occupation of palestine and western imperialism. when general sulaimani took over the quods force in 1988, the genius strategist started using his military expertise and brilliant thinking to identify various resistance cells that were created by the people against any compromise with the israeli regime. he then began establishing uh links between these various local resistance uh regional forces and created a network of them, thus giving identity to the ever growing regional resistance access that has since been a thorn on the side of the israeli occupiers and their allies. in lebanon, one of the pillars of the resistance axis, general sulaimani, played a pivotal role in the hezbollah resistance group struggle against israel, especially during the 2006 war, which dealt a heavy blow to the invincibility myth of the zianist military and humiliated the occupying entity. during

general qasim sulaymani was the commander of iran's quds force, the foreign arm of the islamic revolution when daesh and other takfidi terrorists launched a bloody assault on syria in 2011. he also played a key role in creating iraq's popular mobilization unit, also known as hashal shabi in 2014, when daesh declared its califat in iraq and overran several provinces there. hashtul shabi later managed to defeat daesh and drive the terrorist group out of iraq. these victories for syrian and iraqi forces further increased general soleimani's popularity among the iraqis, syrians and iranians. when general sulaimani declared the end of the daesh califat in 2018, the united states, which called itself the savior of the iraqi and syrian people, described him as it. when the year 2020, the assassination of general sulaymani and hashal shabi's commander abu mahdi al-mohandis in a us drone strike raises a key question, was the united states really fighting daesh? or as us president donald trump himself has said was daesh created by his predecessor barack obama? perhaps now it would be easier to answ

of israel. five top military echelon in iran were hit. and they were killed. one was the head of the quds force intelligence, the elite bed of the irgc. but when the president of iran speaks about taking action against israel, and he lump in the united states with israel, and then in the afternoon u.s. troops get hit in iraq, that looks like escalation. >> looks like a correlation. nic robertson, thank you so much. >>> president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu talking on friday about what a post-war gaza would look like. and now there is a back and forth about what exactly was said and what was meant on that call. it has to do with netanyahu's comments on creating a two state solution as a means to resolve the palestinian conflict. kevin liptak is with the president in delaware. you can walk us through what each side is believed to have said? >> reporter: yeah, and this call is the first time the two men had spoken in nearly a month and it comes gak agaagainst the bacf netanyahu over this issue of what will happen in quazgaza on the war ends. president biden is long an advoc

the day when tens of millions in iran and hundreds of thousands in iraq and some other countries come to the streets for the blood of the commander of the quds force and form the world's biggest riot , this is one of the days of god. you have seen what the people of iran are doing, what they are doing in tehran. what to do in different cities, how did people face this important issue of the martyrdom of a prominent general. what are these iranian guards doing with those iraqi guards in kazmin, baghdad, najaf, and karbala with this body of arban arwa? hearts are in the hands of god, that everyone understands that this is a sign of great sincerity there was great sincerity in that man, it really became a historical and strange incident. the martyrdom of martyr soleimani , no one thought that even his friends would not think that this incident would become great like this, and may almighty god bless this incident to be able to put the religious and revolutionary identity of the people in front of everyone's eyes for everyone to see. which community we have in these many years during the revolution. that we are in the era of huge gatherings, like the

of deadly attacks against us forces, it ended up with the assassination of qassem soleimani, the head of the quds force, the iranian expeditionary force that runs the network of armed gangs and militia groups that iranf ally in iraq, al—muhandis. so, you know, i'm not sure that it's going to go to that level, but some serious deadly response, kinetic military response against these groups is absolutely unavoidable for the biden administration. dr laura james is a senior middle east analyst at oxford analytica. there will be a step up from what we've already seen, and that's pretty serious. so it seems that this attack was carried out by a group calling itself the islamic resistance in iraq. that's not a real group. that's a name that's been used by various militias, iranian—backed militias that are tend to be iraqi but also operate in syria. and they've been using that name during the gaza conflict as they have stepped up drone attacks and missile attacks on us interests. previously, the us has responded by targeting senior leaders, by killing members of the groups who have been about to launch attacks. so this will have to be an escalation from that and that's quite serious, not least because these

quds force, an elite military-political formation that is responsible for carrying out special operations outside of iran. the creation of a global intelligence network based on shiite communities will make it possible. the united states in afghanistan killed a high-ranking us cia officer, michael dandrea, who allegedly oversaw the special operation to eliminate the iranian general. in the summer , mahmoud mousavi machd, who worked for the cia and masad, was executed in tehran. in early january, a baghdad court as part of the investigation into the murder of soleimani issued an arrest warrant for donald trump. according to iraqi law, if trump is found guilty of premeditated murder, he faces the death penalty. the news became highly symbolic in the final days of his presidency. i advise trump to talk to biden to rent some room in the white house in order to remain out of reach of the justice of the islamic republic of iran. in parliament. for this, for the destruction of only the cars of general süleymanim, they took revenge by launching thirteen ballistic intercontinental missiles at the american strateg

of qasem soleimani. for our audience, explain that significance as well. sure, well, qasem soleimani was a huge figure in iran. he ran the quds forceperations, covert, black ops wing of the iranian revolutionary guard, so he was in charge of intelligence, arming, funding, training, all of iran's proxy militias around the region, so hezbollah, all the groups in syria, iraq, quite possibly in lebanon as well. ——possibly yemen as well. and on president trump's orders, he was assassinated when he visited baghdad. they hit him with a drone strike as he visited baghdad airport because he was also, as far as the americans were concerned, he was involved in the targeting of american troops in iraq. and this was a huge blow to iran, he has been martyred, in their words, and his shrine is a big pull for iranian tourists down in kerman in the south. 0k, we will move onto yesterday's events and the fallout from that. we were talking to carine there in beirut about the situation in lebanon. a top hamas leader killed, as you say, no responsibility claimed by israel, but it is widely thought — is that the correct terminology? — that they were beh

was the head of the quds force for more than two decades his efforts to support palestine constituted the largest part of his life and this is what made soleimani's name synonymous with iran among the palestinian resistance groups and caused many to testify to the role and sacrifices of this man in the palestinian cause. . man and his sacrifices for the cause. israel with those few people. it is not up to you, i feel more towards this revolution than you. two days later, the israeli embassy, ​​which was opened during the reign of king makhlo, was changed to the palestinian embassy . very quickly, the israeli embassy, ​​which had many rights and privileges in iran, was merged and replaced by the palestinian embassy. arabs should learn from this phenomenon and not play with the sacred things that were established that day. after a few months, ayatollah khomeini declared the last friday of the holy month of ramadan as the international quds day. this issue showed that the issue of quds and palestine is not only a sacred and islamic issue, but it is a political issue and the rights of the palestinian people are involved, which means removing oppression from this nation . ayat

american contractor was killed at the hands of iran in 2019, president trump ordered a strike that eliminated the head of iran's revolutionary guard corps quds forceem soleimani. we didn't start a war, and we didn't withdraw. we simply sent iran's leaders a very clear message. that is, if you kill americans, you will forfeit your life. and iran pulled back. that is deterrence. when all nations know for certain that they are -- that we are willing to act in defense of our people, it is that clear understanding that actually prevents a wider conflict. and it's a breakdown in clarity that is provoking the iranians to continue taking more danger ooze and ultimately deadly shots at u.s. forces abroad. we must end the failed biden policy of appeasement towards iran. we must also stop telegraphing u.s. responses so iran and its proxies can move personnel, weapons, and equipment out of the target area. weakness only invites further aggression. we must reestablish deterrence and we must respond with the strength that this moment requires. no more half measures, hesitation, or muddled messages. iran and their proxies must know that when the united states te

of them are truly controlled by iran. >> you popular mobilization, you're talking about militias? >> what are called pmfs, or iranian militias. they're all beholden to iran for weapons, for quds force training, for some leadership. but they're also very dispersed. coy name six that are in syria right now off the top of my head, and there are more. so when you say how do you prevent iran from supporting them or how do you strike back against those specific groups, you have to have kind of a dual approach to these kind of things. stopping the supporters, the quds force, the iranian government, and at the same time, striking against the forces in the field. i predict that we're going to see probably a very heavy strike against the forces in the field with the intelligence we have. and by the way, these forces are everywhere in syria and in northern iraq. they're not located in any specific locations. so you have to really get the intelligence to where to strike and who to strike. and at the same time, could there be covert action against the iranian government to back up the words of don't support these guys anymore. but they're all over. they're in northern iraq. they're in syria. th

so the elite of the military, within iran, we understand. wha and one of them was head of the quds force intelligence in syria, so the elite of the elite. very high-level targets that we're seeing targeted here at this -- in this missile strike. now, israel has not claimed responsibility. it very rarely does in these kinds of situations, but iran has been very clear about who they hold responsible. we heard a statement, read out on state tv from the riranian president. >> translator: the continuation of such terrorist and criminal acts show the increasing failure of the zionist regime and the fighters of the resistance front and these crimes will not be left unanswered by the islamic republic of iran. >> reporter: shortly after we did' a ballistic missile launches against the al asad base, which is where u.s. troops are stationed. now, we heard from u.s. central command that there were injuries. we don't know how many u.s. personnel were injured, but they say that they were treated, evaluation for traumatic brain injuries. now, this is significant, because it appears to be only the secon

of the iran union islamic revolution guard core commander, mr. razi musawi in syria, and the terrorist bombing that targeted religious visitors to the shrine of quds force commander martur general qasim sulaimani in the city of kerman. undoubtedly the iranian response was timely, appropriate in size, and was the first in a series of responses that are inevitably forthcoming after last week's zionist assassination of five advisors from the revolutionary guard core in damascus. iran sets new rules this week on limite stream. since mid november 2023, the yemen-based anseral movement has attacked dozens of commercial ships destined to the occupied territories. the tags have practically halted commercial activities in the port de vilat and the occupied territories. "i think that that shipping companies uh will will not rush uh back to the uh red sea, the us and uk have militarized the region with their strikes on yemen, an exodudus of shipping companies from the region now threens to scuttle supply chains and increase consumer prices. well, definitely there'll be some influence on inflation, i mean it's a little difficult at this stage to to predict how much

weeks back that's clearly not enough of got to take action directly against iran we have precedent widow president trump took action at soleimani the head of the quds force a few years back with both counterattacks begin the last him in the last administration. >> given your experience what do you make of the timing of these attacks? what are you a laser focus on the next 48 hours? >> i am focus with the u.s. is going to take direct action. it's going to save time and place of our choosing of course we should wait until we have the right moment the action has to be strong but has to be decisive i have to be clear and targeted directly at iraq i'm looking for the present secretary of defense often to step up to the right thing to take action against iran economic sanctions are it got to be military action and hit the road where it hurts. arthel: this is a volatile situation we had general kellogg on earlier we have got to keep a cool head we've got to be strong, forceful in our retaliation has to be purposeful. but we cannot be emotional is there a way to avert an all out world were scale escalation? we could do think there's a way to avoid it. iran does
