SHNEAKO - Professor Marandi： Why US Betrayed Ceasefire with Iran

00:00:00.000 The Israeli regime was supposed to be a part of the ceasefire, as the Pakistani prime minister

00:00:06.860 confirmed on multiple occasions. And then the Israeli regime began to slaughter carpet bomb

00:00:14.300 Beirut, and they murdered 256 ordinary people. And now Trump is saying, and Vance and others are

00:00:23.160 saying, they weren't a part of the ceasefire, even though the Pakistani prime minister stressed

00:00:27.760 that they were. So this just shows that the Trump regime can't be trusted. You can't negotiate with

00:00:33.020 such people. The Trump appointee and senior intelligence officer said, aside from the fact

00:00:38.820 that he said Iran was not pursuing a nuclear weapon and that Iran was not a threat to the

00:00:43.000 United States, he said this war is because of the Zionist lobby in the United States. And this war

00:00:49.300 is taking place because of the Israeli regime. Even though Trump agreed to a ceasefire that 0.69

00:00:55.660 includes everyone he quickly moved away after netanyahu began slaughtering lebanese civilians

00:01:03.100 there's no condemnation of this mass slaughter that we saw today anywhere in the united states

00:01:08.500 or in in europe evidently he's not in charge he's not the boss sorry about that salam alaikum how are

00:01:15.080 you professor mirandy it's good to hear from you again thank you very much and it's good to see you

00:01:21.120 again. Thank you for inviting me. So now our countries are at a ceasefire. We were bombing

00:01:26.520 each other, and now it seems like we have two weeks of peace. Who knows? It looks also like it

00:01:35.100 may fall apart at any moment because the Israeli regime was supposed to be, was a part of the

00:01:42.900 ceasefire, as the Pakistani prime minister confirmed on multiple occasions. And then the

00:01:51.920 Israeli regime began to slaughter, carpet bomb Beirut, and they murdered 256 ordinary people.

00:02:02.440 And now Trump is saying, and Vance and others are saying, they weren't a part of the ceasefire,

00:02:08.440 even though the pakistani prime minister stressed that they were so that just this just shows that

00:02:14.920 the trump regime can't be trusted you can't negotiate with such people you can't today 0.73

00:02:20.200 they'll say one thing tomorrow they'll say something else and the media will when it comes

00:02:25.400 to the empire the media media will cooperate with them i mean they may hate trump but when it comes

00:02:33.800 to venezuela when it comes to cuba when it comes to iran when it comes to syria when it comes to

00:02:42.040 anywhere where the empire wants to destroy or take over or undermine uh the the media even

00:02:50.040 those that are opposed to the current administration or regime in the white house they will cooperate

00:02:58.840 for the most part at least the 10-point plan that was outlined i was under the impression

00:03:03.640 it was distinct to the us and iran and had nothing to do with israel and lebanon this isn't true

00:03:11.480 no no the the agreement was a regional ceasefire but remember what joe kent

00:03:28.040 professor your the wi-fi the wi-fi just cut out for a second you were saying uh joe kent the

00:03:40.520 former head of counterterrorism what did he say i think it's back now it was just lagging for a

00:03:44.840 second okay well sorry the connection here isn't great but joe kent no problem the former the trump

00:03:53.400 appointee and senior intelligence officer said aside from the fact that he said iran was not

00:03:59.640 pursuing a nuclear weapon and that iran was not a threat to the united states he said this war is

00:04:05.560 because of the zionist lobby in the united states and this war is taking place because of the israeli

00:04:11.320 regime. So even though Trump agreed to a ceasefire that includes everyone, he quickly moved away

00:04:24.040 after Netanyahu began slaughtering Lebanese civilians. And there's no condemnation of

00:04:32.420 this mass slaughter that we saw today anywhere in the United States or in Europe. But the point is

00:04:40.720 that evidently he's not in charge he's not the boss the boss is netanyahu he's the guy who's

00:04:48.840 running the united states u.s foreign policy so the ceasefire you're saying it's supposed to last

00:04:55.980 two weeks but it's lasted maybe only several hours it's already been betrayed i saw initially

00:05:01.000 you tweeted you were the first account that i went to for people that don't know professor

00:05:04.480 mirandy is a professor at the university of tehran he's in iran right now for people that

00:05:08.840 are complaining about the internet there's a mass internet shutdown in the country of iran and

00:05:13.800 there's a select few that are even able to speak on these calls like this so this is a privilege

00:05:19.260 to be able to to hear this information and be able to speak to somebody with access like this

00:05:23.740 you were the first page that i went to because in a lot of ways you are sort of one of the major

00:05:28.420 spokesperson for iran right now and the first tweet you said trump is negotiating with trump

00:05:34.220 So what were these negotiations like leading up to the 10-point plan?

00:05:40.180 Let me just explain to your viewers the reason why the Iranian Internet right now is, for the most part, disconnected with the international Internet. 0.80

00:05:51.220 Israelis and Americans were using the Internet to assassinate people and to find targets to bomb. 0.92

00:05:57.340 and so uh they separate so right now Iranians have access to the internet but they have access

00:06:06.020 to Iranian apps Iranian websites and all that but few people have access to the international

00:06:14.140 internet and I am I requested because of my interaction with the media that I do get that

00:06:23.860 connection and they gave it to me but it's for any of us who have it it's a liability because

00:06:31.860 we could be targeted so and i do have a bounty on my head so it's not as if it's a it's a

00:06:39.700 it benefits me to have this connection or those others who have that connection but

00:06:44.740 what happened was that first of all we have not had direct negotiations with the united states

00:06:49.540 And so Trump and Vance and others were not being honest.

00:06:54.160 There were no direct talks.

00:06:55.360 There were only messages being sent back and forth.

00:06:57.540 And that's been going on for years.

00:06:59.780 We've had messages sent back and forth between the Iranians and Americans since decades ago.

00:07:08.580 So when they were saying we're negotiating and we're talking and we know, that's not true.

00:07:14.180 Messages were going back and forth.

00:07:15.740 But ultimately, so that's when I was saying Trump was negotiating with Trump because he said the Iranians are begging to have a ceasefire and all that.

00:07:24.640 That was all nonsense.

00:07:26.420 So and remember, the war, when the war started, Trump was basically saying unconditional surrender.

00:07:41.560 Right. The original terms were unconditional surrender.

00:07:45.740 Gradually, his position evolved because it undermines Iran's sovereignty, additional surrender, just like the 12-day war nine months ago.

00:07:55.240 But then, planned, Iran was far more resistant, the people were far more resilient, and as tonight on the streets, the crowds are unprecedented.

00:08:14.000 I have news agencies or telegram channels like Farce News or others, Tasneem, or their, I guess, Twitter accounts, I suppose.

00:08:25.960 They'll see these crowds, huge crowds all over Tehran and in different neighborhoods and huge crowds across the country in support of the leaders, armed forces and the resistance.

00:08:36.880 But that can't be true because.

00:08:39.260 The point is that.

00:08:41.280 Yeah, that can't be true.

00:08:43.260 Trump was saying that on Easter Sunday, he said that the Iranian people, they hate when they don't hear bombs because we're liberating Iran by bombing their universities, their schools.

00:08:53.820 How could they be celebrating if we are freeing them by bombing them?

00:09:01.140 And, you know, they also bombed the synagogue yesterday.

00:09:04.480 The Israelis bombed a synagogue and destroyed it in Tehran. 1.00

00:09:08.860 It's stunning. 0.85

00:09:10.220 Zionists cannot tolerate Jews that are not Zionists. 0.97

00:09:14.180 And they bombed their synagogue. 0.73

00:09:16.340 But you don't see this in the Western media.

00:09:18.340 You hear nothing about the synagogue.

00:09:20.180 But in any case, yeah, you're right.

00:09:21.400 And that's what Trump said.

00:09:22.620 But it is interesting because his leading military advisor, the head of the Joint Chief of Staff,

00:09:29.320 said that when we were in Esfahan or near Esfahan, anyone who had a gun shot at us.

00:09:36.020 so why is it that anyone who has a gun like the locals because it was a sparsely

00:09:42.040 populated area of iran iran is a large country not as large as the united states but it is the

00:09:48.840 size of france britain and germany combined and it's still a bit bigger and the north of iran

00:09:56.480 and the west of iran is highly crowded i mean it has a large population because there is mountainous

00:10:03.020 and you have lots of snow and water, and you have, you know, in some places you have forests,

00:10:07.520 but the south and the east in general, they're much less populated because, I mean, there are

00:10:16.860 differences in different places, but in general, they're less populated. That area was sparsely

00:10:21.400 populated. So villagers who had guns, they went after those U.S. troops, and the head of the

00:10:29.320 Joint Chief of Staff of the United States contradicted Trump because he said whoever

00:10:33.100 had a gun was shooting at us. Well, that shows that Iranians are opposed to aggression, that 0.50

00:10:40.300 ordinary Iranians are opposed and are willing to die fighting U.S. occupation and U.S. aggression.

00:10:50.460 So his own people contradict his outrageous claims. But something that it was even, and I

00:10:57.560 digress here i'm sorry but something that i found even more interesting was a bbc report

00:11:05.320 the b a journalist from the bbc wrote that she spoke to an iranian inside iran and she put this

00:11:13.720 in her article and said that that person said you you can you you he supports using nuclear weapons

00:11:21.000 on iran so in order to overthrow the islamic republic i mean the bbc is genocidal and the

00:11:30.440 bbc in the most crude and disgusting way was trying to justify obliterating iran or as trump 0.77

00:11:37.480 was you know as trump would say sending iran back to the stone age or wiping out the civilization so

00:11:44.760 the the so-called liberal bbc is no different than fox news they also know they are all the

00:11:54.060 same they have the exactly they may be there may be different there may be different factions in

00:11:59.420 this epstein class or this the oligarchy but they're still when it comes to the empire they're

00:12:05.880 all the same they have no they have no morality or anything like that but in any case so

00:12:12.020 the initially trump said unconditional surrender then he after that didn't work

00:12:22.180 he put a 15-point plan that was completely ran against iran's sovereignty and iran said no

00:12:28.660 and then iran put forward its own plan and trump accepted that that accepted it to be the framework

00:12:34.940 of discussion not that he accepted the plan the framework for the conversation and he spoke about

00:12:40.480 it and then we saw the israeli regime undermine it this brutal airstrikes just on bombing apartment

00:12:49.520 blocks and western media will put it that way they would say they they say x for example said that

00:12:56.560 they're bombing hezbollah targets or i was on it um i was on times radio and the host kept saying

00:13:04.880 these are hezbollah targets and i said no these are apartment blocks people you know

00:13:10.000 multiple families live in each building they're just bombing the apartment blocks

00:13:13.920 they know these things but the media tries to hide the crimes of the israeli regime so

00:13:19.280 but in any case the israelis carried out this slaughter to undermine the ceasefire and

00:13:25.520 ultimately trump said no no we don't accept the iranian proposal where we you know his spokeswoman

00:13:33.600 said he threw it away and vance also said no there's a misunderstanding lebanon was not a

00:13:39.440 part of the ceasefire even though the pakistani prime minister who is close to the americans

00:13:44.880 he's close to the americans said no he said multiple times that they are so this just shows

00:13:50.960 either that trump and the white house were lying from the beginning and they were just uh dishonest

00:13:59.200 in their negotiations which we which can be true because that has already happened to us

00:14:06.560 twice nine months ago we were negotiating right but they were secretly conspiring to launch the

00:14:11.760 war and last month we were negotiating the omani foreign minister who is the mediator said progress

00:14:17.920 great progress was made and then they launched the war so this can be true they just may be

00:14:23.120 deceitful about the ceasefire uh altogether just to manage the markets and to prepare for some sort

00:14:28.880 of offensive and previously we even had something like the iran nuclear deal which was another

00:14:34.720 sort of piece terms from barack obama which trump threw away it seems like in a way he was so opposed

00:14:40.720 to the iran nuclear deal and then he capitulated folded what did they say taco trump always

00:14:47.680 what is this a trump always uh yeah he always he always folds so it seems like this is another

00:14:55.920 situation but you're you're saying that there's also another interpretation either he could just

00:15:01.520 be deceitful or it's just that netanyahu is the guy in charge he wrecked he's wrecking the ceasefire

00:15:09.120 and trump is submitting to netanyahu for whatever reason whether they have a lot of dirt on him

00:15:16.160 i don't know or whether it's something else but clearly either trump was lying from the beginning

00:15:23.600 or netanyahu's in charge it's one of these two well netanyahu was recent there's a report where

00:15:29.040 he was found to be in the situation room of the white house which is insane that a foreign leader

00:15:34.560 is even in there i mean doing speeches is one thing but the situation room was another

00:15:39.040 can we now assume and i'm gonna cut youtube and bring youtube come on over to kick we have to

00:15:44.400 change this conversation is it safe to say that the ceasefire is over i think it's pretty close

00:15:54.560 it's pretty close but you know the thing is that with this president and with these

00:16:01.680 inconsistencies and all these lies let's say we have negotiations what's the use if everything

00:16:08.480 you say if everything you say to me i answer with a lie and every promise i make to you i break

00:16:17.760 then what's the use of you speaking with me at all because this was one of the conditions of

00:16:24.000 the ceasefire that was agreed upon that the the bombings would stop everywhere and then what the

00:16:31.760 israelis did is they carried out not only did they continue bombing they carried out an unprecedented

00:16:38.400 airstrike with a hundred fighter bombers and just carpet bombed beirut and other cities they just

00:16:45.440 carpet bombed they weren't targeting and maybe in in like a few instances they were targeting places

00:16:53.840 but in general they were just striking the town and actually um a friend of my son is because we

00:17:03.440 we lived in lebanon for a year so a classmate of his his close relative was shopping with his mom

00:17:11.040 at a local supermarket and he was killed i i i did a tweet i picked a few pictures of his

00:17:19.760 instagram account i tweeted it a few hours ago just some kid he was shopping they just

00:17:25.680 carpet bombed the place and he was slaughtered along with other people in the airstrike

00:17:30.800 that's just what the israeli regime does just hiking gods i mean for for people like you know

00:17:36.240 for normal people this is just beyond belief how could these pilots be so evil but of course that's

00:17:42.080 what they did to an iranian school on day one the first target that they chose was to wipe out

00:17:49.600 an elementary school full of little girls in iran in the city of minab so you know these american

00:17:56.320 and israeli pilots they're just unbelievable so the 10-point plan one of the major objectives that

00:18:04.800 uh carry on caroline leviatt the secretary of the white house she's bragging about the strait

00:18:09.600 before moose has now reopened which was open before february 28th so this being a normal

00:18:14.960 being their sign of victory in this conflict is ridiculous because so many people just have no

00:18:20.160 idea they're acting like it's something that was finally opened when it already was before

00:18:24.480 iran part of their plan they said that if the ceasefire remains for two weeks well basically

00:18:30.640 in these two weeks the strait of humus is going to be reopened to zionist controlled governments

00:18:35.760 has it now been closed because the ceasefire was betrayed so this morning after the ceasefire was

00:18:43.360 announced and i i was actually asleep when this all happened so i was probably the last iranian

00:18:49.820 to find out what had happened when i woke up in the morning you know there was a it was like

00:18:54.440 fought for a few hours after the ceasefire and uh but so they the iranians apparently the iranians

00:19:01.200 opened the strait of hormos to shipping because there was no more shooting and but then when the

00:19:08.440 carpet bombing began in beirut the iranians shut down the strait of hormos again so the

00:19:13.460 strait of hormos is shut down and the thanks to the to netanyahu the energy crisis is getting

00:19:20.660 worse by the minute the energy prices crisis and across the world is getting worse by the minute

00:19:26.660 and this is this is what the zionists want this is what netanyahu wants and this is what trump is 0.80

00:19:32.140 doing remember again go back to joe kent he's no muslim he's no iranian he's no arab he's not

00:19:40.920 hezbollah he's not you know an ayatollah joe kent said that this war came about because the zionists

00:19:49.160 israelis forced it upon the united states so right now the ceasefire is being broken and undermined

00:19:57.800 by the zionists and uh so now the strait of hormones is shut again after it was

00:20:03.800 opened briefly and the energy crisis is going to get worse and

00:20:07.560 this things are much worse than what people um believe this this right now this is the tip of

00:20:20.780 the iceberg this you know the the rise in the price of gasoline in the next few weeks it is

00:20:27.240 going to get catastrophic but uh people aren't noticing the oil prices dropped they went down to

00:20:36.260 around $91 after Trump announced the ceasefire. So in the morning of yesterday, he said that he

00:20:42.100 was going to end the civilization if they don't open up the effing strait. By 6 p.m. after

00:20:47.740 threatening nukes and complete genocide of Iran, right after saying he was going to free them, 0.55

00:20:51.920 he says that he found a way to negotiate with them. Are the oil prices now surging again?

00:20:59.840 Were there a success? I don't know how much you know about the passage of the strait of Hormuz.

00:21:03.380 how many ships went through like can we expect the oil to find some sort of balance in the

00:21:11.460 prices for a couple weeks or no no actually the price that you're seeing on on the internet

00:21:18.040 is not the spot market price the spot market price is 40 50 higher than uh what you're seeing

00:21:28.940 uh so these are these are very misleading numbers and it's not just oil it's also lng natural gas

00:21:36.960 there's a huge shortage of that and there's fertilizer and the fertilizer is needed for

00:21:42.820 agriculture so the the the crisis is multi-dimensional and it's even worse than that

00:21:50.120 because when these regimes like the kuwaitis the saudis and so on when they earn their wealth

00:21:56.920 they spend part of it the rest they buy stocks and bonds in the united states well now they're

00:22:04.900 not doing that anymore because they don't have any uh they don't have any uh they're not making

00:22:10.900 any money and in addition to that you know they buy huge large amounts of weapons which they

00:22:17.000 don't know how to use they don't even have you know like katao with a population of 400 000 what

00:22:22.080 are they going to do with tens of advanced fighters they don't even have the pilots they

00:22:25.660 have the people to man you know they don't have an air force uh that would be able to use them

00:22:30.700 effectively these are basically bought to to get kickbacks and commissions both on the american

00:22:37.900 side you know senators and people of power and all that and in and among princes and and and people

00:22:46.300 of influence in in these regimes so that's not happening anymore so the way in which this is

00:22:52.140 affecting the global economy in the u.s economy is is is is quite is very devastating but it's

00:23:01.980 it's you know we're only seeing the tip of tip of the iceberg right now but this is what the 0.78

00:23:07.500 israelis want right they want this war to continue they don't care if the u.s economy collapses

00:23:13.820 they're in the white house yeah they don't care they don't care if indian the indian economy

00:23:20.220 collapses they they couldn't care less about indians or americans they're israeli firsters

00:23:26.140 they want this war to continue they want crises after crisis crisis after crisis and uh you you

00:23:33.180 i'm sure you saw the us ambassador to israel in his uh interview with tucker carlson yeah he said

00:23:40.780 if israel takes the region that's fine and he also said they're the most moral army in the world

00:23:46.300 so basically what what the u.s ambassador is saying is that if they take saudi arabia syria jordan 0.88

00:23:55.020 parts of turkey egypt we're fine which is greater the most moral army in the world so they'll

00:24:01.900 probably carry out genocide along the way right and this is the conspiracy theory they were saying

00:24:07.500 that was anti-semitic about six weeks ago and now it seems evident that greater israel expansion is

00:24:12.780 their plan all along that doesn't there's no other justification there's no other explanation

00:24:17.100 for what's happening in lebanon what can we expect from the conflict over there a lot of americans

00:24:23.900 aren't talking about it there's like an information overload for most people in our country we are

00:24:29.340 looking at the epstein files and we're looking at the war in iran and then you see israel attacking

00:24:34.940 hezbollah in lebanon you see the synagogue being attacked i'm very glad you pointed that out because 0.62

00:24:40.060 even the synagogue it dates back earlier than the formation of israel these are jews and this

00:24:44.940 is a synagogue yes that has been people have been worshiping there for farther

00:24:50.140 longer than israel even existed now israel just bombed them

00:24:54.300 so what can we expect and what's really going on with hezbollah and israel right now

00:24:59.900 well hezbollah really is the most heroic of all the people in in the world because they are fighting

00:25:13.500 to save the palestinian people they are they could have done a deal with the israeli regime a long

00:25:19.820 time ago but they chose to make sacrifices when no one else would and their supporters are being

00:25:27.580 massacred and they're also being antagonized by like the saudis and the qataris and erdogan and

00:25:35.100 all of them all of them are always attacking hezbollah uh you know spreading disinformation

00:25:41.740 because none of these actors will ever do anything for palestine some of them just pretend they talk

00:25:48.300 like erdogan so but when they see like hezbollah is making so many sacrifices so many martyrs their

00:25:54.700 families being slaughtered they don't want their people to start questioning why is it that you're

00:25:59.740 indifferent and you're not doing anything but these people in lebanon are sacrificing their

00:26:04.540 lives and their families to save the kids of gaza so they slander hezbollah they they you know they

00:26:11.500 they whether you know by any means uh possible they'll just try to defame them but hezbollah

00:26:21.420 has been making the most unbelievable sacrifices.

00:26:26.320 And they've been doing a very good job.

00:26:29.860 I mean, during the last few weeks,

00:26:31.480 they've been hitting the Israeli regime very hard.

00:26:33.440 And so what does the Israeli regime do?

00:26:35.520 It sees there's a ceasefire about to take place.

00:26:39.360 They go and take revenge on the Lebanese people 1.00

00:26:42.460 because they're genocidal. 0.84

00:26:43.560 I mean, if you look at the polls in Palestine,

00:26:46.100 in Israel, in the Israeli regime,

00:26:49.060 most people support genocide. 1.00

00:26:51.420 So they're happy to see women and children slaughtered in Lebanon. 0.56

00:26:56.320 And then, so it has a double purpose, both to massacre people so that Netanyahu can become more popular, but also to undermine the ceasefire that the United States government, you know, whether it's dishonestly or disingenuous or not, they were pursuing. 0.56

00:27:13.800 and i recently had a debate with the zionists in america and i brought up some points that you were

00:27:21.640 mentioning on previous interviews where the formation of hezbollah started in 1982 when

00:27:26.220 israel illegally occupied lebanon they always get crushed by this argument because their

00:27:30.860 justification for genocide is israel is eradicating and they're murdering all the terrorists this was

00:27:36.280 the same the the same rhetoric we hear from ben gavir passing this new death penalty law he says

00:27:41.880 we're going to murder all the terrorists and where we were like wait pezblas started because 0.58

00:27:45.240 this illegal occupation of course is going to be resistance fighters you're calling them terrorists 0.99

00:27:48.920 why are they terrorists but the idf they are they're actually defending themselves the idf

00:27:53.900 calls themselves defense force they're really the offense force the terrorist force and when you say

00:27:59.140 this they just kind of they don't know how to react because that terrorist propaganda has been

00:28:04.600 ingrained so much to justify this genocide not only that in america they don't seem to care that

00:28:09.660 so many of these Lebanese people, I don't know the demographic split, but so many of them are

00:28:13.520 Christian. It's not just a Muslim state. They think that all Arabs are Muslim.

00:28:17.400 A lot of Lebanese Christians, both at home and abroad, support Hezbollah. Lots. My own friends,

00:28:26.180 my close friends in Lebanon, many of them are Christians. Many of them are Sunni.

00:28:31.260 Many of them are Druze. And also one other thing, the same is true about Hamas and Palestinian 0.99

00:28:39.320 islamic jihad they were not created before the israeli occupation they were created in recent

00:28:46.520 decades they were born as a result of the occupation their people were subjugated so

00:28:53.480 whenever they say hamas is a terrorist organization hamas is comprised of people who were born under

00:28:59.960 occupation palestinian islamic jihad and all the other groups there are other palestinian

00:29:04.520 groups some of them are not religious but they're all uh they're all opposed to the occupation and

00:29:11.320 they all have participated in the resistance in gaza some of them were small some of them are

00:29:17.000 larger like uh hamas and palestinian islamic jihad but these were all young men who were born

00:29:24.280 under these circumstances born and brought up in a in a in a concentration camp i mean if maybe

00:29:30.920 I don't know if you've already invited Norman Finkelstein, but I think he's the only person

00:29:37.500 who's actually written a book on Gaza, a very authoritative book. I haven't read it because

00:29:43.240 we're sanctioned. So for me, purchasing books from abroad, last time we spoke, I advise you

00:29:48.760 and your viewers to buy that book, Going to Tehran by Flint and Hillary Leverett. I can't buy the

00:29:54.360 book myself because I'm sanctioned. So I haven't read Norman Finkelstein's book, but I've heard

00:29:59.540 good things about it so you know it's about gaza if people read about gaza they'll see that all

00:30:05.440 these people living there first of all they came except for a small segment of the people in gaza

00:30:10.780 almost all of them are refugees from palestine proper from what is now israel called israel

00:30:18.940 and the same is true in the west bank many of these people in the west bank or the refugees

00:30:25.860 who are living abroad they lived in those territories that are now controlled by the

00:30:31.940 israeli regime and and even recognized by the u.n thanks to thanks to the domination of global powers

00:30:41.700 but hamas you know they have the same terrorization kids were brought up under terror

00:30:49.380 right there are kids who are brought up growing up seeing their neighborhoods being bombed all

00:30:55.900 the time seeing snipers kill people and even when they chose a non-violent path i think it was in

00:31:04.620 2018 or 19 people can look it up it was like the great um i forgot what it was called the great

00:31:11.520 march to the wall in gaza i'm sorry i forgot the name the israelis would snipe them like they

00:31:17.760 killed like 140 150 people viewers right now if they just google or if they use deep seek or a

00:31:25.340 great march of return you know ai they're calling it the great march of return

00:31:31.020 so people gunned them down and snipers would would have would do you know they would bet on who could

00:31:42.640 shoot someone from like 200 meters away in the knee right and a lot of young men and women were

00:31:51.020 shot in the knee for fun so there was no weapons there was no terrorism whatever that means but

00:31:57.980 they slaughtered them did the west condemn israel did they sanction israel of course not 0.66

00:32:02.260 because they can get away with anything right and of course the israelis are the anti-semites

00:32:07.360 because the palestinians are the semites i mean we use you you know we all know that

00:32:15.520 where the ashkenazi jews came from and and so on the palestinian jews are the semites right along

00:32:23.360 with the palestinian christians and muslims but the nazis and other jews have been

00:32:32.000 yes which that word anti-semite is almost as strong as the propaganda around the word terrorist

00:32:39.880 if you do know norman ficklesine i would love to have him on stream and have that conversation

00:32:44.000 i just spoke with professor jang and i was speaking to you privately on tuesday it seems

00:32:48.760 like he's good for that day and he wants to speak to you on a panel on my stream so that's uh i'm

00:32:55.480 looking forward to that i know that with your schedule it is pretty late over there so i'll

00:32:58.880 try to get it around the same time on Tuesday with Professor Morandi and Professor Jang. If you

00:33:04.380 have spoken to Norman Ficklestein, I would love to have him on. We're trying to reach out. I don't

00:33:08.000 know the best way to contact him. Have you ever spoken to him before? I have. I have spoken to

00:33:19.540 him before. I don't know if he remembers me because it was a long time ago in Beirut, like 15,

00:33:26.260 16 years ago i was a younger scholar i was a young scholar back then but um

00:33:33.780 oh well i don't know how much of a scholar i am but in any case um i'll try to find his details

00:33:40.500 i know people i know like i think katie halper probably has his number uh but uh we'll figure

00:33:47.540 that out katie halper's show is also good yeah i'll ask her and get you the number or his email

00:33:53.540 or whatever it is that he uses to communicate.

00:33:56.160 So the pushback I'm seeing, I have a lot of friends in the GCC.

00:33:59.280 And he's Jewish, by the way.

00:34:00.580 I know. 0.99

00:34:00.980 Yeah, Fingalstein. 0.90

00:34:01.700 Katie Alper is Jewish.

00:34:03.400 I mean, there are lots of, lots of, lots of young Jews and older Jews

00:34:07.940 who are really fantastic supporters of the resistance and who are anti-Zionist.

00:34:13.520 And, you know, whenever I hear someone conflate Judaism and Zionism,

00:34:17.500 I really think that's unbelievably unfair

00:34:20.380 because that's like conflating Muslims with ISIS and Al-Qaeda or, you know, or Christians with

00:34:26.440 Nazis. It's just, you know, we have huge numbers of heroes among all communities who are standing

00:34:33.920 up for the Lebanese, for the Palestinians, for the Venezuelans, for the Cubans, for Iran. And

00:34:41.180 there are lots of heroes across the board. And that attack on the synagogue is a perfect way 1.00

00:34:46.800 to make that distinction by Israel bombing their own Jewish people. I have friends in the GCC in

00:34:52.340 the pushback, especially since the ceasefire, they're saying that Iran did not include within

00:34:57.860 their proposal anything about Gaza. And they keep saying that Iran, they want the same things that

00:35:03.180 Israel wants. They say Israel wants to take over the Middle East. Well, so does Iran. And so it's

00:35:07.200 another form of that evil. What is true about that? Does Iran actually care about the people

00:35:13.400 of Gaza? And why would they not include that in their 10-point proposal? It is included. All of

00:35:21.080 Iran's allies are included. In Lebanon, in Gaza, in Yemen, in Iraq, all of them are included. The

00:35:29.180 ceasefire must be comprehensive. And we already have a ceasefire in Lebanon, and we have a ceasefire 0.84

00:35:36.980 in Gaza, and they have to be implemented. You see, that's the whole problem, that those countries 1.00

00:35:43.660 First of all, they have huge propaganda machines.

00:35:46.380 Qatar, I mean, it's not just Al Jazeera.

00:35:49.480 They have an enormous propaganda machine.

00:35:52.020 And they have all these religious centers, cultural centers that are on the payroll.

00:35:57.040 Then Saudi Arabia, then the Emirates.

00:35:59.020 They're not exactly the same.

00:36:00.720 They don't like each other. 0.87

00:36:01.900 But when it comes to Iran and the resistance, they all are the same.

00:36:06.180 And sadly, the same is true with Erdogan. 0.51

00:36:08.740 Not Turks, but Erdogan. 0.53

00:36:10.200 but so since they don't do anything for the palestinian people those who do work for the

00:36:18.380 palestinian people and sacrifice for the palestinian people they have to slander them because if they

00:36:24.420 don't then people start asking questions they'll say well why aren't you doing anything if hezbollah

00:36:29.500 is i mean hezbollah is making all these sacrifices look at iran now and and and who who has helped

00:36:36.840 hamas and palestinian islamic jihad and the other groups to build those tunnels where did they get

00:36:42.680 the capability to fund i mean yahya sinwar has said himself on many occasions that when everyone

00:36:50.280 forsake forsook us uh the iranians they they supported us right you know abu obeidi has said

00:36:58.120 this tons of times but these people they want to they want to they don't want to hear they don't

00:37:05.160 want to hear they don't want to see they want their eyes closed and their ears so because that

00:37:10.600 makes them more comfortable right iran the sacrifices that iran has made for the palestinian

00:37:16.040 cause for them over the last 47 years is enormous and now they're waging war against iran for what

00:37:22.120 because of palestine what else no of course gaza and palestine and the palestinians are included

00:37:29.720 That's what this is all about. Otherwise, why is Yemen making these sacrifices? Why is Hezbollah 0.50

00:37:36.640 making these sacrifices? Why are the Iranians making these sacrifices? Because we're opposed 0.88

00:37:41.520 to ethno-supremacism. No one else will stand up for them. So they have to make it look as if Iran

00:37:49.180 and the resistance are not standing up for them. I like that you call it ethno-supremacism. I got

00:37:54.380 a lot of pushback. I said the first racist was Satan because we know the story of how the

00:37:59.220 gene of eblis turned into shaitan because he refused to prostrate to adam when he was told

00:38:04.060 and so that was the first act of pride in supremacy which is what racial supremacy is

00:38:09.060 thinking that you're better because of your skin color and so many people in america they started

00:38:13.380 to get really upset said you hate white people i'm like i didn't even say it's ethno supremacism

00:38:18.100 for the people of israel that you can make a distinction if you want between white europeans

00:38:22.740 and you know jewish supremacists but i think that that should be something we all understand this is

00:38:28.200 the issue is a racial superiority complex but they yeah it doesn't matter what religion it is

00:38:35.040 what race it is any form of supremacism is unacceptable anyone who says this you know

00:38:41.920 this tribe their their lives are less worthy than that tribe including their children and people

00:38:49.260 who have you know who don't even know about these issues you know minors there's something wrong

00:38:57.000 there's something deeply wrong and that is exactly what allows people to massacre others because 0.76

00:39:03.000 they say they're subhuman they're less than us so they're sort of like animals so we can wipe them

00:39:08.060 out right and adopting that mentality for another race is repeating the same mistakes we're seeing

00:39:12.440 right now so we have to be very careful racism is the reason why israel is getting with what 0.55

00:39:17.340 they're getting away with but since i first had you on i mean one of the one of the great things

00:39:22.020 about malcolm x was that malcolm x initially brilliant man brilliant man

00:39:32.260 he was racist but he evolved and he and you know i i read about him a long time ago so i don't want

00:39:42.020 to go into great detail because i may make a mistake but i think that especially after you

00:39:46.500 went to hedge and he saw and he met people in different groups and they had they'd go and have

00:39:52.980 meetings and so on and he he saw people white black you know all different races and uh and

00:40:00.900 ethnicities and then he he that that was i don't i'm not saying it it happened overnight but that

00:40:06.660 was like the key moment which made him shift and he changed completely and then that's when he

00:40:13.300 became malcolm x yeah the the one that we admire because he saw beyond race he knew that yeah

00:40:19.540 there are white heroes there are black people who are not heroes at all and he saw a common humanity 0.78

00:40:28.420 well he was the name he was originally called detroit red because he was a pimp and a drug

00:40:33.380 dealer this is the reason i reverted to islam why i read his autobiography when i was 11 years old

00:40:38.100 and seeing how he was able to i'm so what you said is exactly the reason why islam resonated with me

00:40:42.660 he was a black right he was a racist he was advocating for segregation he was saying white 0.81

00:40:46.900 devils and when he became because of the hardship i mean he was brought up in a very similar to the 0.96

00:40:53.060 palestinians he grew up around the kkk they were they firebombed his house and so he became malcolm

00:40:58.740 x because he wanted to reject his reject his slave name and so malcolm x was like i'm going to x out

00:41:02.980 my slave name but after his hajj he changed his name to el malik al shabazz so he no longer abided

00:41:09.140 by that then that was his final name so we should call him that but i resonated with that letter and

00:41:14.020 it almost was overnight he went to hajj and he wrote a letter it is it is another book aside

00:41:18.660 from i mean a lot there are lots of books that have to be purchased one is going to tehran but

00:41:23.140 one is his autobiography with i which i think alex haley uh wrote with him but that is a

00:41:30.900 definitely book for people to read that's my favorite book i was very young reading that

00:41:36.260 that changed my outlook on the world and it was almost overnight so he was still part of the nation

00:41:40.180 of islam and on that pilgrimage he wrote this letter called letter from mecca to the nation

00:41:44.980 of islam and said yeah i'm not racist anymore i'm sitting next to white people arabs asians and we're

00:41:50.740 eating together i realized that under islam nobody is superior to another because of skin

00:41:56.900 it's through works and then obviously he went back home and he was assassinated shortly after 0.83

00:42:02.260 but his story of peace and of realizing the faults in his ideology is super inspiring and i highly

00:42:09.140 sometimes when i'm at home alone i just go to like the internet and i listen to one of his speeches

00:42:18.180 you know on on youtube or rumble or wherever and it's it's amazing i mean the way he speaks

00:42:25.700 speaks the way his you know his his his self-confidence very amazing person his speeches

00:42:35.100 and the way he his understanding of the English language is phenomenal beforehand it wasn't that

00:42:41.140 good people are asking why was he Detroit red it's because he had red hair he was actually a

00:42:44.440 quarter white he wasn't even fully black which is kind of a oxymoron same way like Hitler people

00:42:49.840 said that he was a quarter Jewish so you harbor these racist ideologies and it's literally within

00:42:54.360 your dna so that that part red hair was why he called himself but also in jail what's super

00:43:00.160 inspiring is that he memorized what he spent every day reading the dictionary and trying to

00:43:04.760 master the english language beforehand you can understand if he's a drug dealer and pimp

00:43:08.060 he was using street lingo then he became an expert and you could see how he was able to

00:43:13.480 resonate with people and become so influential because of language that's the most powerful tool

00:43:18.640 we have is knowledge so absolutely yeah he's a master i do want to ask martin the one of my

00:43:27.060 favorite the most inspiring i think in america since i first had you on and since this war

00:43:31.640 started a lot of people in the out of world especially syrians syrians and i hear from

00:43:37.740 egyptians they're very critical of iran and they're saying iran did this iran killed these

00:43:43.060 people they supported this regime what is the truth about that because obviously i'm american

00:43:49.580 and i don't have you know i'm a revert i don't have the sort of ties and you know background

00:43:56.100 that a lot of these people have what is the truth about that from your perspective about the attacks

00:44:01.140 that iran has made throughout the arab world well what happened was first of all iran was again

00:44:09.280 since many, many years ago,

00:44:11.600 the only country that was supporting the Palestinian cause,

00:44:14.620 Iran and Hezbollah.

00:44:16.400 And Qatar and other countries,

00:44:18.580 Turkey, the Emirates,

00:44:20.040 none of them have ever done anything for the Palestinians.

00:44:22.240 I mean, building a hospital in Gaza

00:44:23.980 or giving a few scholarships to Palestinian students,

00:44:27.920 that's not helping Palestine.

00:44:29.140 In fact, that's basically public diplomacy. 0.64

00:44:32.500 And that's what they did.

00:44:33.520 And they had a lot of money, Qatar and the others,

00:44:35.920 and they spent a lot of money on this.

00:44:37.880 So when Iran was supporting them, they always tried to defame Iran, to slander Iran, sectarian disinformation, racism, whatever.

00:44:49.520 Then we had the U.S. conspiracy to undermine Syria.

00:44:54.720 Why? Because after the United States foolishly invaded Iraq and failed, Iraq became close to Iran. 0.74

00:45:02.340 and then there was syria and then there was lebanon and of course to the south you know

00:45:08.540 there was palestine to the south so the americans and the israeli regime were very concerned about

00:45:17.580 this axis of resistance that's this bridge that existed and so they

00:45:25.300 started talking about and you can see this on wikileaks and elsewhere it began before 2011

00:45:33.640 but in 2011 they be during the arab spring after they destroyed libya using with the help of sadly

00:45:43.420 qatar and others there they funded al-qaeda

00:45:47.460 with the with the knowledge and support of the united states remember the same al-qaeda that 0.71

00:45:53.620 were told carried out 9-11. The formal story of 9-11, 10 years later in Libya, they overthrew

00:46:02.480 the Libyan government. Then they started the same in Syria. And initially, Iran didn't get involved.

00:46:09.940 But then by late 2011, we saw that al-Qaeda was growing fast and foreign fighters were coming

00:46:17.520 into Syria. And again, the Syrian government was not particularly close to Iran. President Erdogan

00:46:27.860 and former President Assad were family friends. There's footage of them. They went on vacation

00:46:36.740 together with their wives. Iran never had that sort of relationship. The business relationship

00:46:42.600 between turkey and syria was extensive with iran very little iran's link to syria was basically

00:46:51.960 that through syria they would support the resistance in lebanon and through syria they

00:46:55.480 would support the palestinian groups right whether they're in the west bank or in lebanon or in gaza

00:47:06.920 so the united states began operation timber sycamore and as i if as you recall last time

00:47:15.440 the iranians saw that al-qaeda which is a tool of the west began to grow in syria

00:47:23.120 and uh we saw if you recall i i mentioned that email between jake sullivan who was

00:47:32.180 biden's national security advisor in 2012 he worked for hillary clinton when she was secretary

00:47:38.860 of state and the wikileaks released this this email where he says on february the 12th 2012

00:47:47.740 in syria al-qaeda is on our side so this jolani was on their side because he was the head of

00:47:56.840 Al-Qaeda in Syria. He was in ISIS in Iraq when it was called the Islamic State of Iraq. It wasn't

00:48:03.480 ISIS yet. And then he was sent to Syria to lead Al-Qaeda there. So he was working for the Americans.

00:48:13.640 And then ISIS was created. The Islamic State of Iraq created the Al-Qaeda in Syria. It was called

00:48:26.200 the nusra front so it's the islamic state of iraq they sent this guy jolani to syria

00:48:33.880 in the name of the nusra front both al-qaeda right and then al-qaeda in iraq declares itself

00:48:42.700 as the islamic state of iraq and syria isis that abu baghdad guy but jolani says no i'm my own guy

00:48:53.220 i don't want to be a part of you i'm independent and then they break but their roots are the same

00:48:59.860 they have the same ideology but they became enemies of each other so the united states

00:49:06.580 and its allies were both supporting isis and al-qaeda and other groups similar groups but

00:49:11.460 these were the two biggest groups now there's another document so that was february the 12th

00:49:17.380 2012. There was another document that came out that was the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency's

00:49:27.220 document, a document that belonged to the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, which is the largest

00:49:32.120 military intelligence organization. Back then it was run by General Michael Flynn, who I'm sure

00:49:37.760 many of your viewers have heard his name. That agency released, they released, a document was

00:49:46.340 released from that agency which said that u.s regional allies were creating a salafist entity

00:49:55.800 between iraq and syria like erdogan jordan the qataris the saudis and who was that because they

00:50:08.320 wanted to break the link between syria and iraq who was that entity it was isis

00:50:15.080 and general michael flynn on al jazeer of all places the qatari propaganda machine went and

00:50:25.760 said that the u.s president obama supported this the u.s government supported this policy

00:50:32.480 so spreading isis and al-qaeda were both u.s policy and they brought in tens of thousands

00:50:41.460 of foreign fighters including from europe they were recruiting in europe in mosques and elsewhere

00:50:48.260 and i have friends in the uk two in particular one of them said iphone i i called the police

00:50:58.900 and told them that in my local mosque they're trying to recruit my cousin and the police told

00:51:05.780 them don't worry about it we have all this under control but the police did nothing so they were

00:51:12.260 recruiting in the uk western intelligence agencies knew it they supported it so a lot of young people

00:51:21.380 from across the region and from europe were streaming into turkey and turkey erdogan

00:51:28.260 his intelligence agencies were sending them into syria to join isis 0.52

00:51:37.060 now that into so iran until 2013 this is like two years after the dirty war in syria

00:51:44.340 syria began and it was called operation timber sycamore obama signed off the operation

00:51:52.820 after tens of thousands of foreign fighters came in did iran finally say we have to stop this

00:51:59.780 not because they're sunni iran couldn't care i told you like i was saying last time

00:52:04.820 ron didn't care i mean asad is not even a religious person whether he's alawit or sunni or

00:52:10.580 i mean his wife is sunni actually but whether he's alavi or sunni or drus or christian or jewish

00:52:16.580 what the iranians didn't want was western intelligence agencies to solar install a regime

00:52:23.780 because it's obvious what they were seeking to do they wanted to undermine the resistance

00:52:30.020 they wanted to break the bridge between iran and the palestinians and the resistance in lebanon

00:52:37.400 and ultimately they succeeded i mean you know after years of but the iranians were there not

00:52:43.920 And right now, to the north of Iran, in the Republic of Azerbaijan, it's a Shia country.

00:52:49.760 The leader is a U.S. stooge.

00:52:52.520 He's a despot, and he's an ally of the Israeli regime, and the Iranians are no fans of his.

00:52:58.420 He sells cheap oil to the Israeli regime, and Erdogan transports it to Israel.

00:53:06.440 So it doesn't matter to Iran.

00:53:08.300 and i explained last time to you as well that when boston was collapsing and people were

00:53:15.180 i've been doing the only country that came just rescued or or in cuba i mean right i mean right

00:53:20.140 now iran can't help because it's you know fighting it for survival right of with with success but

00:53:27.900 iran has been supporting cuba iran has been supporting venezuela all these years i looked

00:53:32.620 into bosnia iran was helping out venezuela oh yeah yeah well i mean a few years ago when

00:53:42.060 americans were were collapsing the economy i don't know if you recall because you're you're young but

00:53:48.060 just a few years ago iran sent a number of tankers to venezuela and told americans you'd better not

00:53:54.300 touch our tankers and they sent those tankers to help revive the venezuelan economy for free

00:53:59.340 venezuelans christian i hear those communists i hear the pushback but they are under the boots

00:54:07.020 of empire so iran supports them the the pushback i hear from people in the gcc is that iran does

00:54:13.660 not actually do this because they care about resistance they do this because they just care

00:54:17.580 about the strength of their empire and they're arming people like basi even though i looked more

00:54:22.780 into the basian genocide and iran did support them with weapons and i've heard that also there

00:54:28.540 were some people trying to smuggle in illegal weapons so they try to say that others helped

00:54:32.700 aside from just iran but the one that were that the only nation really publicly supporting them

00:54:37.340 with weapons it seems like it was iran but then the gcc who's really upset about these attacks

00:54:42.300 they say that iran doesn't actually care they just want their empire to thrive

00:54:47.980 like i mean if iran did not support the palestinian cause like where is the iranian empire

00:54:56.220 iran after the revolution saddam hussein invaded iran at the you know with u.s and western

00:55:05.620 encouragement and the soviet union back then supported him too these gcc countries or pgcc

00:55:13.440 countries these countries in the persian gulf they gave saddam hussein hundreds of billions of 0.78

00:55:18.740 dollars and they helped him fund his chemical weapons program that the germans gave to him 0.86

00:55:28.580 so they helped slaughter iranians they helped saddam hussein in his war of aggression slaughter 0.89

00:55:34.900 iranians after saddam hussein then later on went and invaded kuwait and suddenly these countries

00:55:40.660 that were helping saddam were were in shock the relations with iran improved and but iran

00:55:48.260 never attacked them for all the crimes that they had committed against us. And then later on,

00:55:55.940 Qatar supported the dirty war in Syria. All of them supported the genocidal war in Yemen. 0.87

00:56:02.340 But then when the Saudis and the Emiratis suddenly turned against Qatar and Qatar was trapped,

00:56:09.220 who came to Qatar's rescue? It was Iran. The only way in which Qatar could survive 0.62

00:56:16.340 was through iran did iran demand qatar give its oil assets or billions of dollars

00:56:23.620 did it demand some like concession from qatar no it just said okay sure you can use our airspace

00:56:32.320 we'll send you food we'll give you aid you can use our shipping lines you can your planes can 0.67

00:56:38.120 their only hope was iran iran could have taken qatar you know held them by the throat and said

00:56:47.100 okay you give us like 20 of your gas wealth or whatever and will that you survive you think

00:56:54.820 would have accepted without a doubt did iran demand that no did iran want anything in particular

00:57:04.300 No. And as soon as Qatar's problems were resolved, they forgot all about what Iran did for them.

00:57:12.780 Okay. I have a few more. I don't want to keep you too long because I know it's very late over there.

00:57:17.480 But if I could ask quickly, just out of curiosity, so what should we know about Assad? What should

00:57:23.420 Americans know? I have a lot of Syrian friends that hate him. They said it was a terrible regime.

00:57:28.640 I want to see from your perspective, what is the truth about Assad?

00:57:32.960 assad he's he's no you know he's not like a i mean his supporters are many of them are

00:57:42.260 fanatical supporters of him and his opponents are fanatical opponents of him for iran it was a

00:57:48.300 choice between something that it did not like and something that was a tool of empire why is it

00:57:57.020 something that he why was it something that it did not like because syria like iraq were both

00:58:04.740 governed by the bath party they the bath party split but they were still the same in essence

00:58:12.060 saddam hussein ran the bath party in iraq so iranians don't have any wonderful memories of

00:58:19.400 the bath party in the case of syria iran was not a big fan of the model of government in syria

00:58:26.860 was the united states using its intelligence agencies and using these extremist groups

00:58:37.220 to undermine syria for the sake of who for the sake of israel right now is joelani doing anything

00:58:44.180 against israel no of course not he went to the white house he went and saw uh israeli lobbyists 0.81

00:58:51.860 we know what he did we know who he's with now he's just like all these other arab despots no 0.81

00:58:58.340 different but they're through this media that's funded by these p these arab regimes in the 0.94

00:59:05.800 persian gulf all despots who do nothing for palestine they propagandize and they you know

00:59:12.720 brainwash people to think that all the iranians did this iranian iran all that iran wanted was 0.82

00:59:18.300 and make sure that u.s the cia did not get its way in syria because whatever the ci does it does it 0.66

00:59:24.940 for the sake of israel and sadly turkey it has been doing the bidding the regime has been doing

00:59:32.380 the bidding of the united states for a very long time when trump they had that parsicle ceremony

00:59:39.900 in egypt after the so-called ceasefire in gaza what a ceasefire all these regimes went there

00:59:50.060 and they all bowed to trump none of them care about the palestinian cause 0.65

00:59:57.820 if they did right now they'd do something about it even though they're all threatened in one way

01:00:01.740 or another right so there's nothing to do i mean it's again like in in cuba why would iran support

01:00:09.180 cuba if it's a communist regime you want it the issue is that it's being it's under the boot of

01:00:14.540 the u.s empire and the same is true with yeah it's confusing from my perspective it's confusing

01:00:22.260 because iran is the only nation really fighting against israel right now so obviously you have to

01:00:28.040 support people who are resisting the most evil empire around right now but there's so many people

01:00:33.140 i posted something about jelani the other day because keir starmer the prime minister of the

01:00:37.720 uk is shaking hands with them and it's like wait wasn't this guy the former head of al-qaeda

01:00:41.480 is he not backed by that same empire and so many people messaged me extremely upset

01:00:46.160 saying that jolani's good saying that jolani is better than assad saying you don't know this

01:00:50.920 and i was like well if he is in bed with the same people that were criticizing for the genocide i

01:00:58.140 don't see why now they turned a blind eye over here i have to learn more about that but it's

01:01:03.740 it's max blumenthal max blumenthal initially he supported these groups because he didn't

01:01:11.980 know but then he began doing his research and he found out what was happening and he became

01:01:17.980 anti uh you know he turned against them and understood why iran was supporting syria he

01:01:25.180 wrote a good book i think it's called man the man management of savagery something like that

01:01:30.620 i i have the book i just forgot the name i have a terrible not i'm not very smart i have a terrible

01:01:36.400 memory but the he he has a book come on also there's a not a good person for you to invite

01:01:41.680 i think and that is alice or crook and you may have seen him here and there he knows a lot about

01:01:47.300 this sort of thing so these are people i mean he alice or crook was someone deeply involved with

01:01:52.540 these different groups and organizations he he would know but max blumenthal he's written a book

01:01:58.400 on this it's it's clear as day these people are just being brainwashed and it's based you know

01:02:04.000 it's sort of like you know you you hate this they teach you to hate group a and so you're in in clan

01:02:10.400 b but you know that's basically what empire wants you to be they want you to hate each other they 0.89

01:02:16.720 want me to hate arabs and arabs to hate turks and turks hate iranians and kurds to hate that's that's

01:02:24.080 the whole point the whole point is to keep everyone divided so but for iran iran was indifferent 0.95

01:02:30.960 completely to to what assad who he was when iran didn't want was the empire to take over syria

01:02:40.560 just like if you know when right now the united states is is trying to take over venezuela where

01:02:48.400 would iran where does iran stand it stands with venezuela is it because venezuela is uh shia or 0.76

01:02:55.520 muslim no it's because they are the victims of empire it's clear as day yeah admittedly i have

01:03:03.600 to learn more about assad and the history of syria in this but from my outside perspective

01:03:08.000 as a revert who's not persian or out of what it looks like and i'm seeing people in the chat they're

01:03:12.320 very upset and they're saying things about syria they're making comparisons between iran and israel

01:03:17.120 from the outside looking in it seems like that this is the propaganda working where they want

01:03:22.160 persians and arabs to be divided they want them to have the infighting that we see around the world 0.98

01:03:27.760 so that we are focused on each other rather than the bigger picture i think that's the best way to 0.99

01:03:32.960 categorize what is happening when people are saying oh don't support iraq it's just it looks

01:03:38.880 like the same exact playbook we see with other christian separation ethnic separation get people

01:03:46.880 infighting so that we don't see the bigger picture yeah or turning muslims against christians or

01:03:54.960 uh you know i mean for for us uh christ is infallible but you know you you when you listen 0.80

01:04:04.240 to the propaganda that these christian zionists are pushing you think that like we're the enemies 0.61

01:04:09.680 of christ and again like jews like you see all these jews who are anti-zionist but they're

01:04:17.200 they the media tries to push the narrative that like jews are all zionists which is not the case

01:04:25.440 and increasingly it is not the case increasingly it is not americans were so surprised to see that

01:04:31.680 there were jews in iran they're like what i thought that they were persecuted around the

01:04:34.960 world they always say that jews need a homeland but they live peacefully within iran they have

01:04:38.640 synagogues and they they coexist just how they were coexisting in jerusalem under ottoman

01:04:43.120 kosher restaurants they have kosher restaurants kosher is halal they have an empty parliament

01:04:49.360 right for for time's sake i just want to ask you a few more i don't want to keep you too long thanks

01:04:55.120 for coming on but the rescue mission that recently happened i was watching a professor jang lecture

01:05:01.040 and originally my theory was that they are going to justify ground troop invasion under the guise

01:05:06.800 of rescue missions because we have in our u.s military doctrine no man left behind where movies

01:05:13.300 like black hawk down are showing that the u.s military they're heroes and they're going to go

01:05:17.840 save saving private ryan there you go say we need to go and have this mission to save this one troop

01:05:22.980 because we are the best people ever then you see this story where the pilot the f-15 was shot down

01:05:29.140 and the pilot is there alone by himself and then he hikes a 2.1 kilometer mountain and then there

01:05:35.040 they created landing strip they send in a 300 million dollars worth of equipment to go retrieve

01:05:40.520 him they send all these troops to go and save this guy we don't know his name he hasn't been

01:05:45.800 identified and then they claim victory and they say we saved this guy but we're not going to tell

01:05:49.940 you who he is then peter hegseth the secretary of war he fires eight generals we're wondering why

01:05:56.040 he's questioned why did you fire these generals he doesn't answer the question maybe it's because

01:05:59.680 they were leaking some information to the media about this rescue mission is it true that the

01:06:03.620 rescue mission was all a lie and that this was really a failed ground troop invasion

01:06:08.060 i i think that the generals were probably removed and i think they were i'm not quite sure right now

01:06:16.840 i think they were removed before this person was supposedly rescued maybe they were removed after

01:06:25.840 the plane had been downed but i think they were removed after the rescue this so-called rescue

01:06:32.300 mission took place and i think it probably has a lot to do with uh these generals being saying

01:06:40.460 invading iran or carrying out these uh operations are not a good idea don't do it i think that that

01:06:48.620 was probably it although you'd have to ask people who know more about the workings of the u.s military

01:06:55.100 and the u.s the u.s government rather than me but what happened was that this guy for whatever

01:07:03.980 reason he he was apparently from what we're told even though as you you know we're told that he was

01:07:10.460 a senior officer that wouldn't usually be in a plane and apparently that plane was being used to

01:07:18.620 gather information about that area so that an operation could be carried out and that if we

01:07:25.260 accept the narrative that this plane was down and that as you said he walked with i don't know broken

01:07:31.500 leg for like two and a half kilometers and then he went up a mountain and all that if we accept

01:07:37.900 all that the amount of equipment and people who are brought in were was was was too much for this

01:07:48.300 you know for this it was the equipment that they had brought in was for an operation now whether

01:07:55.020 that operation was uh can't they they brought it to they they needed these these planes to

01:08:04.780 save him or not um that's a different story but in any case the same people were supposed

01:08:11.340 to carry out this operation and uh the iranians there were iranians there and they ambushed them

01:08:18.300 and one of the planes was struck while it was in the air and a helicopter was struck while it was

01:08:24.100 in the air and they both crash landed and the iranians believed that there were dead soldiers

01:08:31.820 who were dragged onto or or and severely wounded soldiers were dragged onto the planes when they

01:08:38.860 were escaping but the point is that the iranians were very confident that this was this this was

01:08:45.440 more about, these were the people who were supposed to carry out an operation to take

01:08:52.660 Iran's enriched uranium, which, by the way, Iran has the legal right under international law

01:08:57.640 to have, and it would have been, and as I said earlier, Joe Kent said that Iran was not pursuing

01:09:05.680 a nuclear weapon. So, you know, none of this is legitimate. But in any case, this was a failed

01:09:12.280 operation in the sense that there was a lot of damage and that it is believed by the Iranians

01:09:17.720 that these were the people who were planning to carry out an operation to go into Iran's nuclear

01:09:23.460 installations and steal Iran's enriched uranium, which failed. And, you know, again, all of this

01:09:30.560 is for Israel. The United States is wrecking the world economy. It's wrecking its own economy. 0.97

01:09:35.920 It's killing all sorts of Iranians. It's letting the Israelis carpet bomb the Lebanese. And by the 0.95

01:09:41.720 way every day they're also killing um palestinians every day just today because we shouldn't forget 0.56

01:09:49.240 palestine and all this we every day palestinians are being killed today uh just another journalist

01:09:56.800 in palestine was in gaza was assassinated and a journalist in beirut by the way was also murdered

01:10:02.840 by the israeli regime in these airstrikes a woman so um you know this is the united states is doing 0.58

01:10:10.500 all this for the sake of Zionism. And meanwhile, the Zionists, while they're doing all of this in

01:10:16.480 the name of Judaism, they bombed a synagogue in Tehran and completely destroyed it. I mean, 0.79

01:10:22.680 they targeted that synagogue. It's just amazing. Last question. What are your predictions now 1.00

01:10:30.760 amidst the ceasefire, which you're saying has been betrayed? What can we expect with ground

01:10:36.620 troops with how long this war is going to drag out what do you think is going to happen next

01:10:41.920 i think there's a good chance i think there's a significant chance that this war will continue

01:10:50.500 i agree i think that it's increasingly unlikely that the ceasefire will hold

01:10:56.300 iran will not allow iran will not agree to a ceasefire where its allies in lebanon and

01:11:04.420 Gaza and Yemen and Iraq are not included. And right now the Israelis are massacring

01:11:10.320 the Lebanese. So it's falling apart. And as I said, Iran already closed the Strait of Hormuz 0.97

01:11:15.460 again. So people should recognize that the Israelis, as I said earlier on, the Israelis are

01:11:20.980 creating a crisis and we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg. This is going to crash the global 1.00

01:11:26.780 economy. But the Israelis don't care. And they don't care if it's friend or foe. If it's the 1.00

01:11:32.780 United States and India, which their governments are friends, or most of the global South, which

01:11:38.200 dislike the Israeli regime, they don't care. They'll crash the global economy if it serves 0.92

01:11:44.660 their interests, if it serves their interests. Professor Morani, thank you so much. I appreciate

01:11:51.640 you always. This is a great conversation. It's very late over there. You don't seem to sleep.

01:11:56.280 You're always getting the information out there. You're like the warrior, the sword of Allah when

01:12:02.560 comes to slicing the propaganda from the Epstein empire. So we appreciate your work greatly and I 0.99

01:12:07.360 look forward to speaking to you again in a few days with Professor Jang. Sure, thank you. I mean

01:12:13.680 it's not anything really important when kids in Gaza are being killed every day

01:12:19.280 and people are being starved and you know refuse medicine and people being slaughtered in Iraq and

01:12:26.400 in iran you know for me just staying up a couple of extra hours a day is not really that much we

01:12:33.040 have to we do what we have to do just like you are playing your role and your viewers are all

01:12:38.000 doing what they can do i i when i see others are you know so dedicated then i i you know i have to

01:12:47.360 try to do more keep on resisting and inshallah you stay safe out there i do worry but i we make

01:12:54.160 do all that you stay safe and i look forward to speaking to you soon salaam alaikum professor

01:12:57.920 Thank you for having me.
