00:00:00.000 For 40 years, Iran has apparently been weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon.
00:00:05.260 What's going on?
00:00:06.260 Yeah, you're absolutely correct.
00:00:07.760 You leave nothing for me to say.
00:00:09.820 You've ruined my opportunity to give a witty response.
00:00:13.740 Netanyahu and the likes of Netanyahu have been saying that Iran is weeks away or months away from a nuclear weapon.
00:00:19.340 To make a bomb very quickly, if they wanted to do it.
00:00:22.100 Iran is so dangerous, weeks away from having the fissile material for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs.
00:00:30.960 They're very close. They're six months away from being about 90% of having the rich uranium for an atom bomb.
00:00:36.220 U.S. intelligence claims that Iran before 2003 was moving in that direction, but after 2003, there was a fatwa and Iran discontinued completely.
00:00:46.180 The IAEA doesn't even accept that.
00:00:48.580 The IAEA says there's no indication that Iran was developing a nuclear weapon at any time.
00:00:53.400 Look, the real problem between Iran and the United States is not the nuclear program.
00:00:57.120 If they don't have the nuclear program as an excuse, they obliterated it, it will be the missile program.
00:01:02.860 If it's not the missile program, it will be terrorism.
00:01:05.340 If it's not terrorism, it will be human rights.
00:01:07.500 It will be something.
00:01:08.380 Why?
00:01:09.020 Because Iran is independent.
00:01:11.340 As I said, some of the best heroes, anti-Zionist heroes, are Jews.
00:01:17.100 How is that ground innovation going to go if it does happen? Do you think it will?
00:01:20.320 Because on paper, they're much stronger.
00:01:22.620 But it is the resilience of the people.
00:01:25.480 Whether in Gaza, whether in Lebanon, whether in Yemen.
00:01:28.940 I mean, the Yemenis were bombed for seven weeks.
00:01:31.440 And they too were heroic, like Hezbollah.
00:01:33.580 They were sacrificing for another people.
00:01:36.120 Of course, the Iranians have shown genius and brilliance.
00:01:38.900 they've developed their own indigenous technology their defense missile capabilities and so on
00:01:43.460 are extraordinary they have weapons of the united states simply does not have
00:01:46.660 despite all the sanctions but ultimately it is that resilience
00:01:50.340 salaamu alaikum great to meet you why are you one of the few people allowed to have
00:01:54.660 internet access in iran right now well first of all i just wanted to correct one thing
00:02:02.900 i don't know if you could hear me earlier and that is that i was not a member of the irgc
00:02:07.620 I was a volunteer. When I was 16, I volunteered to fight. And I think in the Western calendar,
00:02:19.340 that would be 1982 because our calendar is different. And I went to war every year for
00:02:28.120 a few months until the end of the war. So I was a volunteer. With regards to the internet,
00:02:36.360 I use a studio
00:02:38.640 because
00:02:40.560 the United States
00:02:42.500 and the Israeli regime
00:02:43.440 use the internet to gather
00:02:46.080 information
00:02:46.840 and to carry out assassinations
00:02:49.960 and
00:02:52.460 intelligence
00:02:53.860 so they've limited
00:02:55.840 the internet. In Iran
00:02:57.900 people can use
00:02:59.220 the internet inside the country
00:03:01.680 use Iranian apps
00:03:03.440 but international
00:03:04.960 international internet connection is limited to news agencies studios and that sort of thing for
00:03:10.020 the time being as after the war started so in order for me to speak with the an international
00:03:21.200 audience i'm linked through a studio connection okay and i spoke to there's another journalist
00:03:30.500 And I heard that they get some access to SIM cards right now because the internet is shut off.
00:03:35.500 And so select people, only a select few in Iran are even able to have a conversation like this.
00:03:40.580 So taking that valuable time, I do appreciate it.
00:03:44.160 So I've been looking into your history and I do like your way of fighting back against the propaganda.
00:03:51.740 You've had some impressive responses to them trying to lie about what's happening in Iran.
00:03:58.720 And especially when it comes to the terrorist regime and the creation of Hezbollah, especially you said that you volunteered in the early 80s.
00:04:06.720 You reiterated on a recent show that Hezbollah was started in 1982 in response to Israel's invasion of Beirut.
00:04:14.300 And that was finally accomplished in 2000, expelling them out.
00:04:17.580 And now we're seeing the full circle story.
00:04:22.440 And now there's another illegal invasion and a million people have been displaced and Hezbollah has been fighting back.
00:04:28.320 It looks like it's pretty impressive.
00:04:31.860 Yes, Hezbollah is doing an extraordinary job pushing back.
00:04:38.520 And we have to remember that really in this episode that we've had since the last two and a half years,
00:04:46.740 this episode in the struggle for the Palestinian people,
00:04:49.560 Perhaps the most heroic of all the organizations that have been a part of the axis of resistance has been the role of Hezbollah.
00:05:01.960 Because Hezbollah has sacrificed itself and its supporters and its men, women, and children in order to draw off Israeli regime forces from Gaza.
00:05:19.560 so they put themselves at risk to save and spare another people Ansar Allah did that too
00:05:26.620 so did Iran so did the resistance in Iraq and so on but Hezbollah is right beside the Israeli regime
00:05:33.200 and the carpet bombing Beirut is something that they've experienced before we know that
00:05:41.120 Dahir doctrine is something that the Israelis used many years ago in other words flatten
00:05:49.120 in the city and destroy everything just what they've done to gaza in gaza was i think mowing
00:05:57.200 the grass or mowing the lawn in lebanon it was the dahia doctrine but despite that and despite
00:06:03.840 the fact that lebanon is full of traitors and the united states and israelis have a big support base
00:06:12.480 in lebanon not the majority but a significant minority hezbollah is effectively not in control
00:06:20.480 of the country therefore the enemy can gather intelligence the enemy can penetrate into
00:06:29.200 areas where hezbollah is active but despite all that when the genocide in gaza began
00:06:35.520 they began fighting on the northern border of occupied palestine to draw israeli forces away
00:06:45.420 and that makes a contribution to saving the children of palestine and the palestinians of
00:06:54.780 gaza unique so in preparation for this interview and as people saw me announce this i've heard a
00:07:04.680 lot of different descriptions of your position in iran right now they consider you to be a major
00:07:10.900 spokesperson some people are saying you're a propagandist some people are saying the fbi was
00:07:15.640 gonna go bust down my door for doing this interview and you know they were criticizing me oh he's
00:07:21.700 finally leaving the sunnis behind and aligning aligning with the shia so what exactly is true
00:07:27.800 about Professor Morandi's position within Iran?
00:07:32.860 Well, I don't know what it means to leave Sunnis behind
00:07:36.820 because the whole of the 47 years after the revolution in Iran,
00:07:45.560 the suffering of the Iranian people through sanctions,
00:07:49.960 through war, through terrorism,
00:07:52.680 is because of its support for liberation movements across the world
00:07:59.180 across the global majority whether in southern africa and the apartheid resistance
00:08:06.120 the resistance against apartheid and as you may know nelson mandela after he was released one of
00:08:14.220 the first places that he visited was iran and he went to see aytola the martyr aytola khamenei
00:08:20.920 and called him my leader iran support for cuba for venezuela iran did a lot to help venezuela during
00:08:31.800 the last few years when the americans were trying to crush the economy despite the fact that iran
00:08:36.840 itself was sanctioned and the list goes on but the number one issue that iran has been targeted
00:08:46.520 for is the palestinian cause and as far as i remember palestinians are not shia
00:08:55.320 in fact as far as i remember when the bosnians were being slaughtered and they if i remember
00:09:03.800 correctly are not shia it was the iranians who went and assisted bosnia and effectively
00:09:11.400 it is because of iranian support that bosnia exists today so um i think the only country
00:09:20.520 that has not abandoned and i mean by country i mean state not the people otherwise uh today
00:09:29.880 across the world muslim and non-muslim alike they support the palestinian people and that
00:09:36.680 jews christians muslims hindus i have friends from all walks of life and races and sects and
00:09:45.000 religions that support the palestinian cause and i think that is the greatest achievement
00:09:50.440 of the last two and a half years but among the states on this planet alongside yemen of course
00:10:00.360 the islamic republic of iran is the only government to support the palestinian people who are sunni so
00:10:08.760 that aside i am a professor at the university of tehran that is where i get my salary and
00:10:17.880 And I go online for expressing my views.
00:10:27.180 And right now, as we're speaking, it's 12.47.
00:10:33.940 And I should be asleep.
00:10:36.880 But you're not paying me for being here.
00:10:40.240 And I am at risk of being bombed because I'm using an internet connection.
00:10:47.660 so uh i during this period and during the 12-day war before
00:10:56.780 i have done what i felt i need to do i am not a spokesman of any government and if i were
00:11:04.780 i would not be ashamed of it i support the islamic republic of iran and i believe that
00:11:11.020 it is the shining star of humanity along with the axis of resistance they are the ones who are
00:11:21.420 fighting against oppression the empire on behalf of humanity and they are making enormous sacrifices
00:11:29.180 for the palestinian people but it's not just the palestinian people it goes beyond that
00:11:34.220 Because this is an empire that is strangling the people of Cuba as we speak.
00:11:44.460 And our stance against the empire is not just about Palestine.
00:11:49.980 It's not just about Cuba.
00:11:52.260 It's not just about Venezuela.
00:11:55.000 It is about the Epstein class.
00:11:58.840 It is about the Zionist oligarchy.
00:12:03.300 It is about an oppressive empire that crushes people across the world in order to maintain its wealth and power.
00:12:14.540 But the struggle in Palestine is symbolic of all of that.
00:12:19.860 And thus, I think that anyone who believes the propaganda of Iran for the last 47 years,
00:12:27.620 and I understand when Americans believe it because the the propaganda in the United
00:12:32.240 States is so overwhelming but my I would I would request that they look at Palestine and
00:12:44.960 the reality is that Iran and the access of resistance are the only ones who
00:12:51.440 oppose the genocide actively opposed genocide everyone else is doing business
00:12:57.620 Everyone else has ties with the Israeli regime.
00:13:00.520 They export and import.
00:13:02.780 They have political ties, military ties.
00:13:06.620 And the Iranians in the axis of resistance are suffering.
00:13:10.420 They get sanctioned.
00:13:11.820 They get wars imposed upon them.
00:13:14.720 They have military terrorist groups
00:13:21.140 that have military capabilities used by, excuse me,
00:13:26.140 foreign powers to undermine the country so for 47 years Iran's sin has been that it opposes
00:13:35.020 ethnic cleansing in Palestine it opposes apartheid it opposes genocide and those who antagonize Iran
00:13:45.220 those who antagonize right now they're bombing Tehran those who antagonize the Islamic Republic
00:13:51.160 of iran they are the ones who support genocide they support ethnic cleansing they support apartheid
00:14:01.560 so i think if you just take that piece into consideration that that piece of reality into
00:14:08.280 consideration that should really raise questions about the entire narrative on iran whether that
00:14:15.720 narrative is produced in the west or it is produced by western proxies in our part of the world
00:14:23.320 such as saudi arabia or qatar or even other countries which um
00:14:32.760 are in the american camp and may not necessarily be oil and gas rich
00:14:40.040 so the good example of what you're talking about is uh i keep trying to reiterate that
00:14:45.640 we should show solidarity, especially with the people of Iran that are supporting the access
00:14:51.080 of resistance. And I posted a video of Yahya Senwar, rest in peace. And he said, la la damn
00:14:57.060 Iran. He was talking about how the rest of the Arab world, when the Palestinians needed them
00:15:02.060 most, they were silent. They were gone. This is Yahya Senwar and saying that Iran, they were the
00:15:06.520 ones supporting. And so maybe you've seen some of this, but people are being very critical and
00:15:12.540 they're very upset they have a lot to say about iran but let's look at the sunnis of palace of
00:15:18.380 palestine who were very honest and were very clear to mention the support that they got from iran
00:15:28.140 and that's uh that's very important to remember i want to to ask you first what do you think is the
00:15:34.700 the major misunderstanding what's the propaganda that most americans do not seem to realize about
00:15:42.300 iran right now well first i would advise all of your viewers to read a book uh there are not many
00:15:51.020 good books on iran in english there's a book that was written by two people who worked in the white
00:15:58.380 house in the national security council one was the head of the middle east as it's called i would
00:16:05.740 call it west asia and north africa but anyway uh one was in charge of the persian gulf
00:16:14.140 they met in the white house and they married as a result and their names are flint and hillary
00:16:20.140 leverett flint is a catholic hillary is jewish two very knowledgeable people two very decent people
00:16:31.100 who wrote a book on iran called going to tehran it's not a new book it's somewhat old it's seven
00:16:37.660 eight nine years old i guess but i think if someone wants to learn about the history of
00:16:43.100 the revolution that is a good book to start with i may not agree with everything in the book
00:16:48.620 but it is a very fairly written text it's not written by an iranian it's not written by
00:16:55.260 uh someone from this part of the world it was written by two people who worked in the center of
00:17:02.620 power so going to tehran uh by flint and hillary leverett i think is a good starting point
00:17:10.780 um there are many misconceptions about iran in the west and in the arab world
00:17:16.940 uh in the arab world i think the the best example would be syria where uh i think it's quite obvious
00:17:26.380 that uh the project in syria now it's becoming clear that iran was right all along and that the
00:17:32.940 project in syria was all about western domination and subverting the axis of resistance and for
00:17:41.180 iran it was not important who was in charge of syria or what sect that person was from or what
00:17:47.020 religion that person was from iran wanted to prevent the united states and the israeli regime
00:17:52.620 from controlling syria and sadly erdogan abdullah and jordan and these oil and gas rich
00:18:03.580 regimes in the persian gulf were working with americans to undermine syria and
00:18:09.340 And at the end of the day, Jake Sullivan, who on February the 12th, 2012, sent an email
00:18:19.720 to Hillary Clinton saying al-Qaeda is on our side in Syria, the al-Qaeda that we are told
00:18:26.800 carried out 9-11 a decade earlier.
00:18:29.600 he basically is admitted that uh al-qaeda and people like joelani were in the american camp
00:18:39.860 and iran knew from the very beginning that the un the project was to undermine syria with
00:18:46.580 the israeli regime so if the struggle in syria was a struggle about confronting empire but some
00:18:56.300 people became so obsessed against
00:18:58.280 Iran and that was through
00:18:59.620 Qatari money, Saudi money
00:19:01.880 and other finances who tried to
00:19:04.280 make this sectarian
00:19:05.160 whereas it had nothing to do with sectarianism
00:19:08.260 to the north of Iran
00:19:09.880 is a Shia country called
00:19:12.180 the Republic of Azerbaijan
00:19:13.740 it is
00:19:16.320 an ally of the Israeli regime and we have very
00:19:18.300 poor relations
00:19:19.120 but
00:19:22.200 on the other hand
00:19:23.560 countries in the Arab world
00:19:26.300 that are more distant from the Israeli regime,
00:19:30.200 or more critical of the Israeli regime, like Algeria.
00:19:34.100 Iran has good relations with Algeria.
00:19:37.140 So that is one misconception.
00:19:39.900 And I think that these Khatad and Saudi Arabia
00:19:43.440 and other proxies of the United States
00:19:45.180 did a good job in creating this divide
00:19:46.920 to the benefit of the United States
00:19:48.940 and to the benefit of their own dictatorships
00:19:53.100 and their own regimes.
00:19:54.300 Because by creating a Shia-Sunni divide, by making this sectarian, they justify their own inaction.
00:20:04.560 Because when the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Ansar Allah, the Iraqi resistance and others,
00:20:14.280 when they're resisting in Turkey under Erdogan or Qatar or Saudi Arabia or Jordan are doing nothing, then they look bad.
00:20:23.360 So what is the best way to justify their inaction? To slander others, to create division. That way, no matter what the resistance does, people look away and do not support it, and therefore their inaction can be continued without them paying a price.
00:20:43.420 so that is our part of the way in the United States I think the biggest question is
00:20:51.460 uh Iran being run by Matt Mullahs perhaps uh for older people uh the embassy takeover
00:21:05.080 I think that probably for younger people is not all that important because they may not remember
00:21:10.240 that period in history but let me swiftly go through a very brief history of Iran but again
00:21:16.540 I uh and insist that your audience read that book there are other I'm sure there are other
00:21:22.300 good books but um that I think is a very good book to start with in 1953 Iran had a government
00:21:30.100 a prime minister that was elected by parliament
00:21:32.680 and he and the public and politicians uh not just him but they wanted to nationalize Iranian oil
00:21:43.840 because the British were basically taking the oil for free almost literally for free
00:21:52.780 and so when he nationalized oil the oil the British and American the Americans conspired
00:22:00.220 against Iran and carried out a coup in 1953 the Shah was reinstalled a dark dictatorship was imposed
00:22:11.680 and Iran sort of became sort of like these family dictatorships in the Persian Gulf a very wealthy
00:22:17.200 elite stealing all the money buying lots of arms from the United States never producing anything
00:22:23.440 really on their own not even being allowed to use those weapons on their own you have
00:22:30.040 American advisors dealing with those weapons and enormous poverty continued to exist in Iran. 0.96
00:22:37.800 When the revolution in 1979 happened, a strong majority of women were uneducated. They were 0.55
00:22:46.200 illiterate, something like 60 percent. In villages it was over 90 percent. And of course after the
00:22:56.040 revolution during the 1980s where saddam hussein invaded iran at the behest of the west iran had a
00:23:02.200 national uh literacy campaign and the literacy rate in iran went up to roughly 90 percent in
00:23:12.680 a bit over a decade again my numbers may not be precise people can use deep seek or other
00:23:19.000 um ai tools and get the numbers it's not very difficult but in any case uh the shah was
00:23:27.320 reinstalled and the united states helped create the sabat a sinister secret police and the musad
00:23:35.240 also helped create that sinister organization many people went to jail my father was in jail
00:23:44.280 for six months uh or me five months maybe i don't know the exact amount of time but anyway but many
00:23:51.640 went to jail multiple times and many were tortured to death and then in 1979 we had a revolution it
00:24:00.280 was probably the only real popular revolution in the 20th century and until now because every day
00:24:06.440 people across the streets across cities and across the country in difference in all the
00:24:13.640 different cities and um they came to the streets of their cities and proceeded protested against
00:24:18.440 the shah and one day in tehran during the revolution a day called black friday the shah's
00:24:25.640 army gunned down a large number of people and the next day the u.s president jimmy carter
00:24:31.320 called the shah and gave him his full support subsequently when the shah was overthrown
00:24:39.320 so this mass murderer in the eyes of iranians because he gunned down so many people
00:24:43.960 he after the revolution sought refuge in the united states this is important because i'm
00:24:49.320 getting to the the embassy takeover he sought refuge in the united states university and
00:24:55.960 students in iran remembered 1953 and they were afraid that they were preparing a coup to bring
00:25:04.200 the shah back right this was right after the revolution and the u.s embassy was active in
00:25:11.880 trying to undermine the country so they took the embassy and when they took the embassy they found
00:25:17.720 they discovered all these documents showing that the embassy was actively working to undermine the
00:25:21.960 state and thus we had 440 days up 44 days of the hostage crisis so from many from the american
00:25:31.960 perspective at least the narrative produced by american textbooks at school the media even
00:25:38.520 history books. Iran, the problem between Iran and the United States, began with embassy takeover.
00:25:47.100 But from the Iranian perspective, the embassy takeover was a result of two and a half decades
00:25:53.520 of injustice and oppression and manipulation carried out by the U.S. government.
00:26:02.200 Right? So the embassy takeover is a bit more complicated than what people in the United States
00:26:07.620 often hear the second point and you said i think you said mentioned one i'll mention the second one
00:26:14.740 and that is the mad mullah myth iran has a constitution it has a leader that's elected by a
00:26:22.340 body that leader is a high is a very high religious authority but a highly educated person
00:26:31.060 who in in the case of ayatollah khamenei who was martyred he was fluent in four languages
00:26:37.620 Persian, Arabic, Azari, Khamenei means from Khameneh.
00:26:44.980 Khameneh is an Azari city near Tabriz.
00:26:47.160 Just like my own name, Marandi, means from Marand.
00:26:51.380 It is an Azari city also near Tabriz.
00:26:55.740 So, and English.
00:26:57.780 Ayatollah Khamenei was fluent in English and he read novels in English.
00:27:02.760 He was a thinker.
00:27:04.840 He was obviously a jurisprudent, but he was an intellectual, and he was very well-versed in literature, Arabic, English, and Azari.
00:27:17.480 And he read novels in English, too.
00:27:19.780 So he was a highly educated person.
00:27:21.920 Compare him to the presidents of the United States.
00:27:25.400 The chair of the Supreme National Security Council, Dr. Lara Jani, who was recently martyred by the Epstein Coalition,
00:27:35.640 he was a professor at my university he was a professor at the university of tehran
00:27:42.760 and a western and a professor in western philosophy and he specialized on cant
00:27:51.640 the speaker of our parliament dr kalibov i'm sure the americans and israelis would love to
00:27:59.080 assassinate because they you know ever since they assassinated kennedy they've been you know busy
00:28:04.600 killing people across the world he is also a professor at my university so if you look at
00:28:13.720 a picture of the cabinet like your viewers right now if they just type on some i don't know google
00:28:22.600 or other some other similar uh platform if they type iranian parliament and look at pictures you
00:28:33.080 don't see religious scholars they're overwhelmingly and the mps the members of parliament are
00:28:40.600 engineers or their doctors their lawyers and so on and then if you look at the cabinet
00:28:49.160 where the president sits the president himself is a physician and he's a heart surgeon
00:28:59.320 his cabinet and he is the highest authority after the leader his cabinet which controls
00:29:07.000 I guess I don't know 89 80 of the country's finances I don't know the exact number I'm just
00:29:13.240 giving some vague estimate I mean they're all they're all you you will not find any clerics
00:29:24.220 in the cabinet, but you have this narrative of mad mullahs, even though there's nothing
00:29:32.620 wrong with being mullah, whatever that means, because they want to, by that narrative, they
00:29:42.680 want to create this image of backwardness, of a country living in the past, and women
00:29:51.300 in being beaten and battered and and all that which is nonsense i in my faculty at the university
00:29:58.620 of tehran i've been teaching for 20 oh i always forget that our calendar is different from yours
00:30:08.300 so um 22 and a half years let's say i think and uh 18 of those years the dean of my faculty
00:30:21.200 has been one woman or another so my boss at the university of tehran for almost my entire career
00:30:32.560 has been this woman professor or that woman professor
00:30:39.120 we have women pilots we have women truck drivers we have women taxi drivers we have 1.00
00:30:44.480 women scientists we have women in the armed forces
00:30:47.200 I can go on about other issues like Mahsa Amini and all that, and the myths that were created
00:30:54.460 around it, where they said she was beaten to death, which was not true. The footage was there.
00:31:00.940 It's clear that she was not beaten. But in any case, we can go over all these issues.
00:31:08.340 We have the time, and on other occasions, we could continue with these discussions.
00:31:13.020 I, there's no issue that I have a problem with discussing on with regards to anything pertaining
00:31:20.260 to Iran. But before you get to the next question, I just want to point out, I'm not saying Iran is a
00:31:26.400 utopia. But taking into account the fact that it has been sanctioned for decades, that three wars
00:31:33.920 have been waged on it, at the behest of the United States. And in all three, the United States became
00:31:39.800 directly involved during the last months of the war with saddam hussein where the west gave saddam
00:31:44.920 chemical weapons to use against iranians and iraqis and i survived two chemical attacks
00:31:50.440 during the last months united states entered the war on behalf of saddam
00:31:55.240 on behalf of saddam the same united states that later destroyed iraq in the name of the
00:32:00.840 chemical weapons that they gave to saddam and then of course these two latest wars sanctions
00:32:07.160 terrorism and so on so despite all these this the harm that they've brought they've put
00:32:16.840 they've brought about for iran i would say that iran has done a very good job
00:32:25.400 and if you come to iran and i have friends that you you know their names who've been to iran
00:32:32.280 uh they've max blumenthal was here for a couple of weeks um and he traveled the country with his
00:32:42.160 wife who's also a journalist and also a very smart uh and well-informed woman they they've
00:32:51.040 been to synagogues in iran i think he did a documentary on synagogues here they they've been
00:32:56.280 around it is a country which uh if you sit down in a bus in the metro in a taxi and ask people
00:33:07.480 how do you feel they can they will say anything they can say whatever they want they can speak
00:33:12.440 out against the government they can speak out against religion they can speak out against
00:33:15.960 god nothing would happen to anyone here it's not like those countries that are allied to
00:33:21.560 the united states on the other side of the persian gulf where they are despotic regimes
00:33:28.120 but this is one of those myths that you will hear in the west about iran again i'm not saying it's
00:33:34.920 a dystopia but it is definitely not the dystopia that people in the west are being told and again
00:33:42.680 my best uh example is who's opposing genocide and who supports genocide this side so it's it will be
00:33:53.960 very difficult to convince me that the side that's a that opposes genocide they're the bad guys who
00:34:01.160 do all these bad things to their own people and they're terrorists and they're evil and they're
00:34:05.080 mad and they're uh whatever and then all those other guys and countries who are supporting
00:34:12.360 genocide and ethno-supremacism and ethnic cleansing they're the good guys
00:34:20.120 uh i think if one thinks about it from that perspective then and raises some questions
00:34:28.120 for themselves and then start and then start reading about iran and our region i think they
00:34:34.840 will come to some surprising conclusions is that report true where i read that iran produces the
00:34:43.000 most amount of young female scientists out of any nation in the world i don't know if that's 1.00
00:34:49.640 i don't know that statistic but uh the majority of my students are women
00:34:57.560 the i mean the majority of students in my department um let me let me think in i'm i'm
00:35:06.200 i work in two faculty i work in two departments i'm a member of one department at the university
00:35:11.240 of tehran and i'm an affiliate to another department right i don't want to count right
00:35:19.000 now because people are listening i don't want to bore them but i think over the let's say the last
00:35:23.880 five years the the majority of academics young academics who are hired in these two departments
00:35:34.040 are women
00:35:37.160 again this is this is all anecdotal but we have high numbers of iranian scientists
00:35:43.800 we have high numbers of female scientists female academics
00:35:49.000 And again, there are lots of myths about Iran, and even, by the way, artificial intelligence will not tell you the truth because they do not always tell the truth because they're programmed by programmers who are hostile towards Iran, and their primary sources are Western media outlets or Western textbooks.
00:36:11.160 books but even if you use those uh materials and use uh a Western AI uh you will see that a lot of
00:36:21.720 the the material that is out there is nonsense but again I would I would and I'm sorry for saying
00:36:27.420 this for like the fifth time I'm not getting any money from the liberates uh but um I would buy the
00:36:35.580 going to Tehran book and read it and I think your viewers would be pleasantly surprised
00:36:41.160 So the narrative in America is that Trump is there to liberate the women of Iran, and not just from the Epstein regime, but you see that from a lot of the Western Iranian diaspora, which was, I've never seen a diaspora like that, where they were celebrating and dancing.
00:36:56.900 there was a girl who went viral for you know dancing when the bombing started the day where
00:37:01.380 168 girls were killed in the attack on the manab school and then recently her cousin passed away
00:37:06.580 in the bombings and she refused to blame epsi regime and continued to blame the islamic republic
00:37:11.220 in her own words why do you see so many of those people celebrate the attacks on their own country
00:37:17.780 it's a confusing diaspora well first of all it's more complicated than that and i've been to places
00:37:24.900 where there are lots of Iranians, and sometimes I'm recognized, and I've always been treated
00:37:35.280 in a very positive way. I've never been insulted by anyone on the streets or in neighborhoods where
00:37:41.700 there are lots of Iranians. I haven't been everywhere, obviously, but I've been in places
00:37:45.520 in Europe, and I have traveled to the United States, and I have been to California, Southern
00:37:53.320 california in particular so um first of all most iranians are not like that these are a
00:38:01.800 if you are supportive of iran in the west you are not going to have an easy time
00:38:09.000 you are going to be harassed and i know people who went to jail uh on trumped up charges
00:38:16.200 like a a gentleman who ran a Islamic center in uh southern Los Angeles uh called Sayyid Mahmoud
00:38:25.520 uh Tabatabai I think his name was I never and he he they arrested him and the IRS went after him
00:38:34.380 and he was in solitary confinement for a very long time for nothing and then his lawyer his
00:38:40.620 second lawyer contacted me and I'd never met this Iranian person before I think it said Mahmoud
00:38:47.580 Musadhi I'm not quite sure I forgot his name but anyway this is a long time ago I think it's
00:38:54.060 said Mahmoud Musadhi I'm not sure so his lawyer who was Jewish called me and said this person
00:39:00.360 who's in jail um I think there's something wrong and can you help me so he I said sure and he sent
00:39:07.740 the documents that the government used to put him in jail the prosecutor and it was all trash
00:39:14.940 it was nonsense it was like his when he was a soldier he had like he had an id card and it had
00:39:21.580 the logo of the guards and they used that to say that he's a member of the guards and the judge
00:39:27.580 just said okay and his first lawyer for whatever reason did nothing about it so this guy went to
00:39:33.580 solidary confinement for nothing and this decent lawyer never met him but got him out of prison
00:39:41.900 but after but he got a cancer in jail and he died after coming out what i'm saying is that
00:39:51.020 being pro iran comes at a very heavy price in the west being pro hezbollah being pro hamas being pro
00:39:59.740 uh you know whatever if you're pro-resistance you are in trouble a b a lot of these people who
00:40:09.020 are anti-run are on the payroll you have a persian language empire a media media empire in the west
00:40:17.980 hundreds of media outlets pbd funded sorry like patrick by david's show no no no no this i'm
00:40:26.700 talking about persian language i'm talking about persian language media you have many websites you
00:40:33.260 have many tv channels you have you have troll farms there's just one there's one troll farm with
00:40:39.740 almost 4 000 people in albania these are mek members which is a terrorist organization
00:40:49.020 that killed 17 000 iranians during the 1980s and they fought for saddam hussein against their own
00:40:55.020 country they have offices across europe north america under different names so the united
00:41:02.940 states is funding all sorts of different groups media outlets the americans and the europeans
00:41:07.740 and these people hire lots of people so many many many iranians so-called iranians are on
00:41:15.740 the payroll in one form or another and some of these others were not on the payroll there are
00:41:20.140 people who for example they fled iran during the revolution they took a lot of money with them
00:41:25.660 especially in rich areas in los angeles well these people felt that they owned the country and
00:41:32.380 now they don't sort of like some cubans in in florida but uh most of the iranian diaspora
00:41:41.100 they are quiet and they are not happy about this war but they're not very politically active
00:41:48.620 because as i said political activism comes at a price i mean look at my case
00:41:56.460 right now i there's a verified account on twitter that is and it's there's paid partnership
00:42:06.220 they put out a tweet with paid partnership that is fundraising they want to gather a million dollars
00:42:15.180 to kidnap me and of course that means basically that i'll be tortured and killed
00:42:23.260 that tweet is it's been on it's it's still there it's been there for six days now
00:42:30.780 despite many thousands of people uh complaining and twitter refuses to move it remove it
00:42:38.540 so twitter has a policy of supporting terrorism so imagine if you're an iranian
00:42:47.340 or a palestinian or an iraqi or whatever or anyone living in the west and you're from one
00:42:57.420 of these countries and you support iran or the resistance do you think you're going to get a job
00:43:04.300 at a you know if you go even if you go to a good university will they give you will you ever get
00:43:10.380 tenure if i went to the united states me and i wanted to get a job they wouldn't give me a job
00:43:18.220 at a kindergarten there's no doubt about it so i understand why some people are silenced and i
00:43:27.420 understand why some people actually would be opposed to iran because these people too are
00:43:33.260 bombarded by anti-irani narratives when you're bombarded by certain narratives day and night
00:43:40.060 you start to believe them often so i i would argue that the iranian diaspora based on my own
00:43:49.260 anecdotal experiences are not all of are not the majority are not like these people
00:43:55.660 and these people the very fact that they celebrate when the country is being bombed i think tells
00:43:59.820 more than enough about their moral status and their support for israel
00:44:07.580 i mean you can hate iran but why would you carry the israeli flag
00:44:12.620 many of them must be paid it is uh confusing to see what what is your analysis moving to the war
00:44:20.540 I'm seeing reports from Iranian officials that there is one GCC country that is going to join
00:44:26.380 Israel and fight against Iran. I'm sure you've seen this, and they didn't reveal who it is.
00:44:32.680 I'm seeing some people say it's the UAE. Who is it? Well, that's really not for me to say, because
00:44:39.880 if I'm not privy to these things, and I can make a guess, but if I made a guess,
00:44:49.580 it wouldn't look good because people do seem you know they do promote this idea that I am a
00:44:54.980 spokesman which I'm not and again it's not because I'm like I don't like Iran if they hire me as the
00:45:02.180 spokesperson I have no problem with it but the reason why I don't have a government position
00:45:08.120 is because I want to be independent because I can I think I can have a greater impact as an
00:45:13.760 independent person I have I teach at the University of Tehran I have a job I don't need to be a
00:45:19.780 but if if for whatever reason someone suddenly came and said we need you as a spokesperson
00:45:26.020 and i was convinced that i would be more useful as a spokesperson i would accept so when i say
00:45:31.780 i'm not a spokesman it's not because i'm trying to distance myself from anything
00:45:36.820 i fought on the war fronts for this country when lebanon was attacked by the israelis i went to
00:45:43.060 lebanon on my own i was at a hotel when said hassan nasrullah was martyred i was in bayoult
00:45:51.780 i've been to syria multiple times during the dirty war and i went to syrian university spoke with
00:45:59.220 students met people all sorts of people in syria i've been to iraq during the fight against isis
00:46:07.060 i've i've been to these places i'm not afraid of saying these things right now i have a bounty on
00:46:14.500 my head i'm not going to be intimidated because i know that i'm i've been thank god on the right
00:46:21.140 side of history throughout these years i'm not a good person i'm not a a an ideal person i mean
00:46:30.660 sometimes some people because they see me online and they they are very kind to me uh but i'm not
00:46:38.180 i don't consider myself to be a a role model or or anything like that i'm lacking in every um
00:46:48.820 aspect of you know my personality i aspire to be something very different than what i really
00:46:55.220 what i am but i am i believe very uh i'm uh i'm very i'm i'm certain that i have been what i've
00:47:10.740 been advocating during these years has been correct and i think time has vindicated what
00:47:17.960 i've been saying but again it doesn't mean that i'm any a great person or i'm a great personality
00:47:23.180 I'm not particularly smart. I'm not particularly knowledgeable. There are academics in my
00:47:30.820 department that are better than me in literature and Orientalism. But I'm an activist, and I try
00:47:38.220 to do as much as I can as an activist. Well, you say you're not a good person,
00:47:44.240 but hearing you right now, it is inspiring to see that although you have a bounty on your head,
00:47:48.220 you don't live in fear from what I can tell. And I think what the Umar could take a page out of
00:47:55.580 the book from Iran and understand that there's 2 billion Muslims, right? And Iran is the sole
00:48:00.980 country really fighting back right now. Hopefully we can be inspired by people like you and people
00:48:06.060 of your nation and understand that if we lived with less fear and we worked together, that we
00:48:13.320 wouldn't need to live under this oppression that we're currently living under from the obscene
00:48:16.960 regime. I agree. I don't think it's, I mean, not about myself, but I agree with what you say in
00:48:23.020 general. But it's not just Muslims. It's beyond that. I think non-Muslims alike, all of those
00:48:30.540 oppressed. And they are in the United States, they're in the West, and they're across the
00:48:34.800 global South, or what some call the global majority. And Iran is taking this stand on
00:48:40.620 behalf of everyone. And that's why Iran is so deeply despised and hated and antagonized. And
00:48:46.140 why it's been antagonized for all these years and again i remind your viewers that who may be saying
00:48:53.260 really i mean this horrible country where you know they've done all these horrible things we've heard
00:48:58.700 we know all i mean just think about it this is the country that opposes genocide and the ones that
00:49:04.620 are antagonizing it are the ones who support genocide then let's start reading about iran
00:49:11.020 understanding about iran and make conclusions but um you know one of the things that i have
00:49:19.420 experienced during the last four weeks is that in iran people they're the ones who protected the
00:49:27.100 state and the country during this war when the leader was murdered on day one when ayatollah
00:49:33.180 khamenei was murdered on day one and he refused to leave his office even though he was a target
00:49:39.980 he said a lot of people have no place to go i'm staying here so when he was martyred it took a
00:49:46.140 week for the country because of the situation to elect a new leader for a week people preserved the
00:49:54.060 state they preserved the country they went to the streets every night and tonight under heavy rain
00:50:03.420 and last night under heavy rain people are on the streets in tehran and in other cities huge
00:50:08.620 numbers in different neighborhoods you can see it iranian news agencies like farce news or press tv
00:50:19.420 or other outlets or some activists who put footage of of these people but i want to get to a couple
00:50:24.780 of examples on the last friday of the month of ramadan uh the iranians have since the revolution
00:50:34.460 began they have this day in solidarity they have a rally across the country
00:50:42.060 in support of the palestinian people it's called international putz day or international jerusalem
00:50:47.580 day let's say and so in tehran people like in other cities they gather after friday before
00:50:54.220 friday prayers and they demonstrate against the israeli regime and in support of the palestinian
00:51:00.300 people every year this friday was during the war across the country and in tehran
00:51:08.540 during the rally the epstein coalition bombed the rally have you ever heard of a demonstration
00:51:18.540 being bombed by an air force and a woman was killed in the rally
00:51:24.460 no one budged young 16 year old teenagers young girls on the streets they could have stayed at
00:51:36.620 home and they could have done what teenagers do they were on the streets the missile struck
00:51:44.020 and they didn't budge they didn't stampede they didn't scream they stood their ground
00:51:51.220 and this was not the only this was the rally that i was at and there's footage of it i tweeted it
00:51:58.100 others have too it's not in western mainstream media for obvious reasons
00:52:02.140 why would they tell the world that we bomb protesters we carry out airstrikes on protesters
00:52:10.880 and they did this in the city of hamadan i've also posted footage of that and they did it in
00:52:17.980 city of anzali in the north of iran i also posted footage of that people are on the suits it's
00:52:23.020 visible when a 16 year old girl or a 17 year old boy stands his ground stands her ground
00:52:34.860 in the face of missiles i do not have the right to be intimidated
00:52:42.620 i do not have the right to go silent because there's a bounty on my head
00:52:48.920 so even if i wanted to even if i was fearful
00:52:53.560 i can't they are the courageous ones not me they are the young the youthful and i've never seen
00:53:06.200 such scenes in my life literally i mean the footage is there if people just go back
00:53:11.640 the friday uh my friday tweets of the last day or whatever i mean during those days i've been
00:53:21.520 tweeting a lot unfortunately i i hate twitter but i'm you know i've been ever since the
00:53:27.060 the genocide in gaza began i've been tweeting and tweeting uh it's uh you know i but anyway
00:53:34.480 i feel like this is what i have to do so uh they can find the footage it's there you won't find it
00:53:40.660 on in western media but you can find it on in some places online and by the way
00:53:49.140 while there's a bounty on my head and they refuse to remove the tweet that is uh
00:53:56.020 that has paid partnership i have and i'm sure your viewers many of them have similar
00:54:00.660 experiences i have many tweets that have been removed because for example i would put a picture
00:54:07.300 of palestinians palestinian kids who are murdered and then i'd say like i write like west western
00:54:13.940 civilization and put it let's say in scare quotes quotes or maybe i wouldn't put it i just write
00:54:19.940 western civilization i don't remember i've had multiple tweets that were that were removed and
00:54:25.860 they told me you have to remove this otherwise you won't have access to your uh twitter account
00:54:31.140 so i'd have to delete them so i have to delete tweets that are because they would say that is
00:54:39.140 not western civilization i mean that's that's the argument i have to remove the tweet because
00:54:44.660 this is not western civilization so i have to remove such tweets and then they are threatening
00:54:51.620 to kidnap torture and murder me that's implied and they're fundraising and they have
00:55:01.140 a verified account and they can do that so that is the nature of western media that's the nature of
00:55:10.660 western social media apps and i think it's it's very revealing so
00:55:21.700 no one should imagine that there's any real difference between twitter and facebook and
00:55:27.700 instagram of course i've been removed from facebook and instagram a long time ago
00:55:34.500 but uh there's no real difference between them they all are very closely affiliated with
00:55:40.500 the deep state or the epstein class and i'm not saying people since there are not any alternatives
00:55:47.620 yet out there hopefully there will be and hopefully there will be countries in the global majority
00:55:51.700 that together we'll build new apps which are independent and we can move to that but in any
00:55:57.620 case people should be aware of what these uh what these uh people really are doing and what their
00:56:05.060 affiliations are well speaking of their lies trump just had a cabinet meeting and he was
00:56:11.540 talking about the gift that the people of iran gave so thank you as an american thank you for
00:56:16.900 the generous generosity uh eight boats of oil thank you so much professor mirandi is this true
00:56:24.500 that you gifted eight boats of oil to trump as a peace treaty no nothing zero iran has allowed
00:56:34.900 a handful of ships tankers oil and gas to leave the persian gulf but they were sent to countries
00:56:45.380 like i think bangladesh and pakistan and china and india had nothing to do with trump or the united
00:56:54.660 states and in the case of india i think if i'm not mistaken the indians took three of iranian
00:57:03.860 oil tankers at the behest of the united states a few months ago and they released those tankers
00:57:10.500 and uh allowed and the iranians allowed to gas uh ships with lng to go to india but in any case
00:57:18.500 none of this has anything to do with the united states i mean trump is trump tomorrow he's going
00:57:24.100 to say something else i mean tomorrow he's going to say they asked me to be the leader of iran
00:57:31.380 let him you know he says what he says but he said that by now i think by now young americans
00:57:36.820 whatever their political orientation is they're smart enough to know that uh nothing truth will
00:57:43.860 ever come truthful things rarely come out of his mouth well i believe him when he said that uh me
00:57:49.680 and the ayatollah are going to control the strait of hormuz i believe him it's going to be a jointly
00:57:54.080 controlled operation with the ayatollah i believe did you ever get to meet how many yes i have met
00:58:01.380 him yes what was that like multiple occasions yeah i i i have spoken with him but briefly
00:58:07.540 i'm i mean i'm not a political figure again it's not i have nothing against being it uh
00:58:15.440 in government or anything like that but i just think that what i do is i think i the way i've
00:58:24.120 i'm active as i work as an activist today i'm more effective if i'm not in any government
00:58:32.600 but i have met him a few times he's actually once uh he actually one watched one of my interviews
00:58:40.120 uh and he's and as i said he's he's fluent in english and uh it was a very old interview
00:58:47.320 actually and i won't name the the host or the media outlet but you know the name of the host
00:58:55.320 it's mainstream media and we had a you know it was like it was one of those aggressive
00:59:01.480 interviews and he saw it and he said you did a good job or something like that
00:59:07.160 hang on hangar could have been it's just a guess um and that negotiations happening or is any of
00:59:15.640 this true there's a lot of negotiations happen what what happened was that uh trump sent um
00:59:26.760 a message or a proposal through pakistan to iran which is not strange we've been exchanging
00:59:33.320 messages for decades because we don't have direct relations so messages go back and forth through
00:59:39.560 third parties this was by through pakistan it go they go through oman they go through the swiss
00:59:44.760 embassies sometimes maybe the russians sometimes maybe some other country in the region it's not
00:59:50.520 strange so if someone says they sent a message to iran they've done it hundreds of times if not more
00:59:57.560 so they sent a message that's not negotiating that's sending messages and it happens as i
01:00:02.760 said regularly so they sent a message to iran through the pakistani government and their
01:00:09.960 proposal was not acceptable at all to the iranians and they said no and the iranians put out their
01:00:15.880 own demands which were declared in public but again he wanted to manipulate the market to bring
01:00:22.760 down the price of energy again just a couple of hours ago he he gave another 10 days not out of
01:00:30.040 his i mean he's murdering iranians on a daily basis it's not because he's a nice guy it's
01:00:35.720 because he wants to manipulate the markets and he wants more time to kill people and to
01:00:40.440 to murder people and maybe he could find a solution but as this these you know as we move
01:00:45.640 forward the oil crisis the gas crisis lng crisis the fertilizer crisis the global economic crisis
01:00:52.520 is going to get worse and worse and there really is not anything he can do about it even if he
01:00:57.400 engages in war well he is engaging but land war he is not going to achieve any results it's going
01:01:04.120 to only make things worse so he's uh he's put himself in a very bad place and he's and he's
01:01:11.320 wrecking the global economy but it's all being done at the behest of the israeli regime and zionists
01:01:17.480 and it's not me saying that it is joe kent saying that joe kent said what we all knew
01:01:27.320 he said that iran was not building a nuclear weapon iran is not a threat to the united states
01:01:32.920 and listen to what like the u.s secretary of state this uh madman was saying today or the vice
01:01:40.040 president who was talking about i don't know nuclear vests or something i mean anyway uh
01:01:46.520 these people watch too many of these uh what are they uh superman movies or uh superhero movies
01:01:54.440 i mean marvel movies i don't know but uh uh so trump um he and all of the misery that is going
01:02:05.960 to befall the people across the world is because of zionism it's because zionists are pushing the
01:02:12.920 united states towards have pushed united states towards war with iran and so if you put aside the
01:02:19.080 moral immorality of this war and trump began the war by murdering 168 little girls
01:02:25.640 and and people in iran believe that this was intentional why because this was done
01:02:32.520 this was the first wave of strikes and in the first wave of strikes all the targets are very
01:02:40.760 carefully vetted because you have weeks and months to do it if after three four weeks three four
01:02:47.960 months maybe some officer in a rush he makes a mistake he's he's rushing to find a new target
01:02:54.680 and then he find he designates a certain building and then they bomb it and it turns out to be like
01:03:01.400 i don't know some civilian target that's plausible that's possible but for the first wave no that's
01:03:10.600 not possible that school was there for years a lot of the students were the children of naval officers
01:03:17.960 it was intentional and then trump and then western media was silent about it they're
01:03:23.160 still indifferent about it and trump he tried to blame iran
01:03:33.480 and he tried to say that the iranians fired the missile even though it was
01:03:36.840 the first wave there wasn't even fighting it
01:03:41.400 and this i think is reflective of all the anti-iranian propaganda that you hear
01:03:47.960 today this week last month last year and over the last 47 years it is more or less
01:03:56.920 fake narratives dishonesty the aggressor blaming the victim just like the palestinians the
01:04:04.280 palestinians are terrorists but if the palestinians if you put them into a european context
01:04:12.440 let's say the french resistance they would be heroes whereas i don't know if you know this
01:04:20.040 but the french resistance first of all they killed lots of innocent people second of all
01:04:24.840 they weren't even popular in france most french people just wanted peace and quiet
01:04:29.880 and they they considered these people as troublemakers
01:04:34.920 but the french resistance and afterwards was deemed heroic of course resistance is
01:04:40.920 legitimate just like uh in the warsaw ghetto
01:04:50.760 certain analysts and pundits and western media analysts they are no different from the nazi
01:04:59.240 media people if in the warsaw ghetto the the jews were let's say fired at the officers who
01:05:09.000 oppressing them they would be the terrorists that's how these people are that's how they are
01:05:16.200 but if it's in a european context if it's to you know like this would be legitimate resistance
01:05:24.040 but um but in reality they are just justifying their own oppression and these are the same people
01:05:31.400 by the way supported apartheid these are the same regimes that when iran and others were supporting
01:05:40.120 the resistance in southern africa they and see in other groups the military wing and the political
01:05:47.400 wing these people their governments were supporting the apartheid regime in south africa
01:05:52.760 and Nelson Mandela, according to U.S. law, was a terrorist and the ANC was a terrorist organization.
01:06:03.100 Nelson Mandela was freed from jail. He was still a terrorist. He became president. He was still a
01:06:10.640 terrorist. His term ended. He left office. He was still a terrorist. After he retired from politics,
01:06:19.000 The ANC and Nelson Mandela were removed from the terrorist list in the United States.
01:06:26.260 It's the bias of skin color, to be completely honest about it, because the definition of terrorism, the UN definition is violence for political or religious gain.
01:06:38.780 It's not just that. And here I would disagree to a degree. I agree with you in general. I agree.
01:06:45.380 But it can also be, I mean, we saw what the British did to the Irish, what the empire did to the Irish.
01:06:54.360 And today, I don't know if you can find this, or maybe your viewers can find it.
01:06:59.040 When the war in Ukraine began, regardless of who's right and who's wrong in Ukraine,
01:07:05.920 personally, I think that the West is to blame because they carried out a coup in Ukraine.
01:07:12.120 They shouldn't have done that.
01:07:13.980 then they allowed the right-wing elements in ukraine to become powerful and start abusing and
01:07:20.460 killing uh the russian-speaking population in eastern ukraine but i don't want to go there
01:07:27.260 this may be something controversial the point i want to make but i this is what i believe anyway
01:07:34.540 but the point that i want to make is that the wall street journal did a on the title page
01:07:43.340 They had a picture of President Putin and said that Russia goes to its Asian past, something like that.
01:07:51.760 Viewers can look this up right now.
01:07:54.300 So there's a picture of President Putin wearing like a Mongolian military, I don't know, uniform.
01:08:05.320 so the Asian past means that this white European Slav Putin he looks pretty white to me his roots
01:08:17.320 because he's brutal and nasty and murderous and criminal are Mongolian do you get what I'm saying
01:08:25.960 so they if it serves Empire it doesn't matter what your skin color is but you're correct that
01:08:34.900 In general, those who look different, those who have a different religion, those who have
01:08:40.220 a different, you know, they are more easily otherized and targeted, but it can go beyond
01:08:45.940 that quite easily.
01:08:49.440 What I'm seeing from so many Americans is their lack of understanding of what that is.
01:08:54.040 When they hear the word terrorist, they automatically think, they don't know what terrorist means,
01:08:59.040 but they know what it looks like.
01:08:59.940 They know what one looks like.
01:09:00.960 They know how to point it out on a list of criminals in a lineup, but they can't tell you exactly what it means.
01:09:09.020 And that's the difference. And that's the unfortunate truth about something like Epstein.
01:09:12.600 Although Jeffrey Epstein was not a white man, he was Jewish.
01:09:16.580 They will have a different sympathy and a different sort of attitude towards that operation than they would if this was an Iranian blackmail operation, because they see him as something similar.
01:09:28.380 so the the logic is not consistent right and that's why well i would say actually that many
01:09:35.580 jews are white i mean if he came from europe i i don't know his roots they he is they would be
01:09:40.440 european which is not a bad thing or a good thing but he's definitely you know most jews are not
01:09:46.300 semites most of israeli government are not palestinian jews are semites but jews that are
01:09:55.080 from eastern europe or from across uh the africa north africa and our part of the world they're
01:10:02.040 they're not semites and there's nothing good or bad about it there's nothing you know i we i have
01:10:09.160 many jewish friends secular and religious i have orthodox jew friends anti-israel of course all my
01:10:15.880 jewish friends are anti-israel and zionism is not judaism simply because of the fact that many jews
01:10:24.680 and increase in their increasing in number reject zionism just like isis and al-qaeda are not islam
01:10:32.280 just as the nazis are not christianity you know so uh in in in the case of isis and al-qaeda we
01:10:43.160 know that in syria and iraq isis and al-qaeda were funded by proxies of the west and the west itself
01:10:50.280 as i said you know jake sullivan said there are with on our side in syria in the 2012 document
01:10:56.920 by the u.s defense intelligence agency the u.s intelligence defense intelligence agency stated
01:11:03.560 that u.s allies in the region turkey turkey the government of course i'm not talking about the
01:11:09.400 people turkey the persian gulf countries jordan they are and there are they want to create a
01:11:16.760 salafist entity between syria and iraq
01:11:22.680 and later on general michael flynn went on al jazeera of all places because al jazeera was
01:11:28.360 supporting isis and al-qaeda and pretending that they were freedom fighters uh he went on al jazeera
01:11:34.760 and said that the u.s government supported that policy so the united states was supporting the
01:11:41.160 establishment of a salafist entity between syria and iraq who was a talafist entity it was isis
01:11:48.760 so when people start saying that oh isis is something muslim no actually it's a it's a
01:11:54.120 creation of western intelligence agencies with the funding of their proxies in our region
01:11:58.920 and this these groups were first created in afghanistan in fact the first book the first
01:12:04.440 textbooks for kids that were extremists were printed in the united states
01:12:12.680 they were they were written so that kids on afghan
01:12:18.840 hate the soviet and those books were printed at
01:12:24.520 the University of Nebraska Nebraska Omaha your viewers can google it right now and so these
01:12:36.520 books were published in the United States so this ideology of extremism and taqfidi ideology and so
01:12:42.700 on the U.S backed it the Saudis funded it back then later on the Qataris became more in the
01:12:48.640 forefront this operation but the west is behind it because at the end of the day it is the united
01:12:55.200 states that governs its proxies so they helped create al-qaeda so 9 11 if we look at it
01:13:05.360 if we accept the american narrative 9 11 was carried out by its own proxy and it was blowback
01:13:11.680 if we look at it from the evidence provided by people like tucker carlson in his document
01:13:16.880 documentary there's something else going on and uh and then that it's not just al-qaeda
01:13:24.800 al-qaeda was a proxy of someone else as we know and uh the story has become somewhat different
01:13:32.720 so the point is that when they say look at these muslim extremists no those people
01:13:38.560 that are extremists they're your people and zionism are not jews zionists are zionists
01:13:46.640 whether they're christian zionists or jewish scientists or secular zionists
01:13:51.360 but in any case the point i'm making is that what i wanted to get to is that people from across the
01:13:59.440 world are opposing empire and that is why the islamic republic of iran yes it supports the
01:14:06.960 palestinian people it supported the boston people but it also supported the south africans
01:14:11.920 it supported and it continues to support Cuba even though right now Iran is not in a terribly
01:14:19.120 ideal position to give any sort of serious assistance at the moment but for us what
01:14:28.320 the Americans are doing to Cuba is just as shameful I mean the American regime shameful
01:14:34.400 and disgusting as what they do did to the syrians during their strangulation of the economy and the
01:14:41.840 dirty war what they did to libya what they and gaza perhaps is goes to a very different level because
01:14:48.640 it's a it was an open genocide and it's still ongoing but in any case it's the same thing it
01:14:54.160 doesn't it doesn't matter to us if the child who's being slaughtered or being starved is
01:15:01.120 is uh in cuba or in palestine or in tehran and uh the bias that you pointed out it could you could
01:15:12.540 take it a step further and see the difference in the narrative of the war which is similar to iraq
01:15:16.620 where they say weapons of mass destruction they keep insinuating that iran has a nuclear weapon
01:15:20.940 even though that we had a 12-day war last year and they said that they obliterated the nuclear
01:15:25.920 capabilities and this war was necessary because they could dig it up and create a nuclear weapon
01:15:31.440 again but i've recently heard that apparently iran has a religious fatwa against creating a
01:15:38.000 nuclear weapon this is coming from joe kent is this true and how close for 40 years iran has
01:15:44.240 apparently been weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon what's going on yeah you're
01:15:49.440 absolutely correct you leave nothing for me to say you've uh you've ruined my opportunity to give a
01:15:56.000 witty response but yeah for 40 years the um the netanyahu and the likes of netanyahu have been
01:16:04.080 saying that iran is weeks away or months away from a nuclear weapon in fact there's another good book
01:16:09.760 book called, I think, Manufactured Crisis, if I'm not mistaken, on the Iranian nuclear program,
01:16:23.920 which tells this, it's also an old book somewhat, but like maybe 10, 12, printed 10, 12 years ago,
01:16:31.540 but it tells the story of all the lies regarding Iran's nuclear program, and the fact is that the
01:16:38.020 National Atomic Energy Agency has monitored Iran's nuclear program more than any other
01:16:42.180 nuclear program in the world. And it has never provided evidence to show that Iran has
01:16:47.680 been seeking nuclear at any point. U.S. intelligence claims that Iran before 2003 was moving in that
01:16:56.540 direction, but after 2003, there was a fatwa and Iran discontinued completely. The IAEA doesn't
01:17:02.760 even accept that. The IAEA says there's no indication that Iran was developing a nuclear
01:17:07.260 weapon at any time. But in any case, at least there's a consensus that since 2003, nothing has
01:17:13.500 happened. And as I said, Iran's nuclear program has been under, I mean, all those buildings that
01:17:19.660 were bombed by the Americans, they had International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors
01:17:30.980 visiting them regularly. They had cameras in them.
01:17:35.620 So it's obvious that
01:17:37.720 the real problem between Iran and the United States is not the nuclear program.
01:17:42.940 If they don't have the nuclear program as an excuse,
01:17:47.300 they obliterated it, it will be the missile
01:17:51.120 program. If it's not the missile program, it will be terrorism.
01:17:54.720 If it's not terrorism, it will be human rights. It will be something. Why?
01:17:58.560 because iran is independent because the islamic revolution made iran independent and because of
01:18:07.580 iran's religious ideology and its culture supporting the oppressed and standing in
01:18:16.680 defiance of the oppressor in accordance with all the teachings of the prophets
01:18:21.780 and prophet muhammad and his grandson and his grandson in karbala hussein ibn ali and his
01:18:32.660 sister zainab and how they defied the tyranny of that era for the sake of the oppressed and pay him
01:18:39.380 he paid he and his companions paid the ultimate price that the day of ashura on iran is an
01:18:46.040 important day of the year and it is deep deep deeply embedded in iranian culture and across
01:18:53.720 the axis of resistance so for us supporting the oppressed is something that you cannot escape
01:19:02.680 that young girl 16 year old girl who stood her ground
01:19:07.160 when they were bombing her with missiles the culture of ashura was deeply
01:19:16.040 embedded in her in her in her entire existence it was a part of her existence and it made her
01:19:22.600 steadfast and defiant and because of people like them people like me learn to be steadfast or try
01:19:31.960 to be more steadfast so the reason why the united states hates iran meaning the regime and western
01:19:40.760 regimes is because the empire does not want independence and it does not want defiance
01:19:46.440 and it does not want a country like iran or the axis of resistance whether it's hamas
01:19:52.680 or hezbollah or or ansarallah or the iraqi resistance or islamic jihad or whoever
01:19:58.920 does not want them to be empowered it does not want iran to support the people of cuba or the
01:20:08.440 people of venezuela or the people of nicaragua not because of their economic policies or because
01:20:15.240 the empire wants them crushed
01:20:19.480 whether it's it doesn't matter where they are who they are this is what the united states cannot
01:20:23.960 tolerate about iran this is why they go to war against iran but they don't go to war against
01:20:29.240 anyone else and this is why americans are suffering ordinary americans economically
01:20:37.960 because all of these wars that we've had in the last 20 some years it was they were all about iran
01:20:44.200 why because what's his name the american general who was the former head of uh nato wesley wesley
01:20:52.120 clark i forgot his name sorry i'm growing old your your viewers can find his name there's a clip of
01:20:57.480 him that's that went viral multiple times where he speaks about yeah sorry you got it right wesley
01:21:05.720 clark right right he says that after 9-11 the united states and we can sort of better understand
01:21:13.560 why why 9-11 happened now back then i didn't believe i didn't i believed that it was just
01:21:21.320 al-qaeda for many years because i could never imagine that anyone could do that to their own
01:21:28.600 people nanyahu said himself that 9-11 was very beneficial for israel yes yes but also when you
01:21:35.160 look at the evidence and you look at the i mean tucker carlson's documentary when you look at it
01:21:40.920 there are things in there that have no you cannot interpret it the way in which
01:21:46.200 i used to interpret what had happened doesn't it doesn't work but anyway
01:21:53.000 he said that they told him that he was told by a general in the pentagon that they wanted to
01:21:58.840 destroy seven countries in five years if i'm not mistaken people can watch this it's a clip
01:22:04.360 i'm maybe getting it a bit wrong but i think i'm right and it would end with iran so they'd go
01:22:10.600 after syria and libya and all these countries that they've destroyed and it would end with iran
01:22:17.160 so the
01:22:21.640 against zionist expansionism and if you look at the u.s ambassador to occupy palestine what he said
01:22:31.080 that if israel takes the region fine with him and they are of course the most moral
01:22:35.960 army in the world that is the unofficial policy of the epstein class that is the unofficial
01:22:43.720 policy of the epstein regime that's a great point that it's just the fact that iran is fighting
01:22:49.400 against that empire because the fact you point that out you realize that in this war they've
01:22:54.920 used every single narrative to try to justify this war first it was liberating the women
01:23:00.760 then he goes trump goes in the jake paul podcast and says that the people in iran they throw gays
01:23:05.160 off the roof and gays can live in america then they say it's because they want to free the
01:23:09.560 protesters and make iran great again then it's because it's a nuclear weapon then rubio says
01:23:14.760 that they were posing a threat on israel and they didn't pose an imminent threat on the u.s they
01:23:18.840 tried every single angle they throw everything and then the vice president said something about
01:23:23.720 nuclear vests or you know some other madness that was just two hours ago talking about suicide
01:23:29.000 bombers and invest so this war we've seen them try every single tactic hoping something sticks
01:23:37.400 and it goes back to the overall point i mean iran has their own banks and they don't use
01:23:43.960 they're not involved in the roth child central bank system similar to cuba who's getting strangled
01:23:48.440 right now and they turn the lights off this is something i mean it's really interesting i've
01:23:52.280 been to cuba and um i've been to venezuela multiple times and actually today i was speaking
01:23:59.480 to a couple of my venezuelan friends i was supposed to go to venezuela just a few weeks ago
01:24:05.480 a right bit i stayed because i thought there would be war and i thought i should stay here
01:24:10.520 but it was right before they attacked venezuela anyway and kidnapped the president anyway but
01:24:17.400 the point is that one of the interesting things is iran is a regime venezuela is a regime cuba
01:24:23.000 is a regime but saudi arabia is not a regime israel is not a regime qatar is not a regime
01:24:31.400 jordan is not a regime regime the word regime is left for these countries and then they say
01:24:37.320 look i mean venezuela is a failed state their economic their no you put your boot on their neck
01:24:47.400 you don't let them breathe and then you say look they can't even breathe look there are failures
01:24:54.520 they impose sanctions on syria imposed a dirty war bring in bringing in tens of thousands of crazy
01:25:00.760 terrorists and then they say look look at what they did to their country they do the same to libya
01:25:06.840 they do the same to to cuba they strangle cubans say look this con you know i'm not saying that
01:25:13.000 communism is an ideal model or socialism or liberalism that's not the point i have my i'm
01:25:19.000 again as my the ideology and that i believe in as a muslim uh and of course my uh the the the
01:25:29.320 theme of supporting press and you know that being so deep in our culture i i believe in social
01:25:34.840 justice and a strong element so so social justice should be a part of any the workings of any state
01:25:41.480 doesn't mean i'm against the private sector but that's but i believe in social justice
01:25:46.520 but i'm not talking about communism or socialism or liberalism a country a state is defiant of the
01:25:54.200 empire whether it is a liberal state or a socialist state or a communist state whether it's russia
01:26:00.840 or venezuela or cuba it doesn't matter they strangle it and then they say look they're failures
01:26:07.480 they bomb it destroy it and say look look at these non-westerners they can't even
01:26:15.640 govern why why does everyone want to come to the west it's because we're no it's because you it's
01:26:22.300 because we're good it's because our model of governance is good no it's because you've bombed
01:26:26.720 everyone else you've sanctioned everyone else you've destroyed everyone's world and where do
01:26:32.340 people go the only place left to go and then you say where are they coming here if we're so bad
01:26:37.860 and again i'm not talking about ordinary people it has nothing to do with i mean as i said that
01:26:44.400 some of the most the best heroes anti-zionist heroes are jews some of the shows that i go to
01:26:52.140 they're online like your own program they are jews and they're fantastic they're heroes they
01:26:59.200 at the forefront of the resistance and christians and muslims i think there was a a hindu girl who
01:27:06.000 spoke at a student at mit i didn't know at the beginning beginning of the school year or something
01:27:11.600 and she and then she too was i think punished again i'm i'm vague on some of these things
01:27:17.680 there are excellent people across the board from all races and but the point is that the empire
01:27:24.000 will not tolerate anything but itself and its best uh tool is divide and rule
01:27:33.600 the best tool is divided whether it's race religion sect that is the best tool possible
01:27:41.280 because that's how you deplete the the energy of the victim i'm busy tearing you apart you're
01:27:49.920 tearing me apart we're both tearing us and then the empire especially as the empire declines and
01:27:55.840 it grows weak it needs this divide and rule element even more than before both at home and
01:28:02.960 abroad increasingly at home because people in the west are waking up especially young people
01:28:09.280 they're victims too there's victims as well whites blacks people of different skin color
01:28:18.400 of different religions they're victims too because the system is corrupt it's the epstein class it is
01:28:24.560 this oligarchy and they don't care about anyone it doesn't matter what their passports what's
01:28:32.000 written on the passport or what their picture in the passport looks like i completely agree
01:28:39.920 i want to ask about the ground invasion you briefly mentioned that earlier that seems like
01:28:45.280 especially i think two three hours ago trump posted on truth social saying he's extending
01:28:50.000 the five-day ceasefire or whatever to 10 days and it's going to be strategically when the markets
01:28:57.200 have closed and maybe it's in preparation for the marines to get ready to probably land around
01:29:03.680 you know the small island called uh carba if i'm not mistaken uh around the strong or it could be
01:29:10.320 another island no one knows i mean they could be saying one island and intending to land somewhere
01:29:15.040 else but but yes it's called hark island and how would this ground evasion go because we're aware
01:29:22.240 that iran is surrounded by these giant mountains and iran the irgc they've been preparing for this
01:29:30.400 war for decades how would this ground invasion go because right now as americans we don't really
01:29:35.440 understand what the objectives are with this war you know it's shifted once it was going to be
01:29:40.320 regime change and now they're saying regime change is just killing the ayatollah and then now new
01:29:44.320 ayatollah is in charge there's not a real victory strategy and a ground invasion is going to be a
01:29:50.160 disaster they're prepared they've set traps they set mines iran has not been very secretive they've
01:29:56.880 laid out there there's a come get us if you guys wanted to come here we'll come how is that ground
01:30:03.360 invasion going to go if it does happen do you think it will you know if the if u.s analysts
01:30:09.120 had really studied iran and yemen and hezbollah and the axis of resistance in general in palestine
01:30:16.480 in iraq if they had studied them and understood the culture of resistance and where it came from
01:30:23.760 where it comes from and i gave you an example of the young girls and young boys and on the streets
01:30:28.800 of tehran and elsewhere who under airstrikes they stand their ground the footage is there people can
01:30:34.080 watch it it's just mind-boggling the courage of these kids it comes from this culture of resistance
01:30:41.440 it comes from this belief in in in god and a just god and the tradition of all the prophets
01:30:50.240 and of course as i said the story of carol is very deeply embedded in this culture it's the
01:30:55.200 resilience of this people more than the weapons because at the end of the day the the empire has
01:31:00.240 more weapons they have the entire region working for them i mean all these arab family dictatorships
01:31:06.560 they're all traitors their money goes to western banks and they they're all corrupt and they're
01:31:14.320 also the epstein uh documents too many of them i mean the american bases uh whether it's jordan i
01:31:23.840 mean it's not just the persian gulf jordan has u.s bases they're hosting u.s jets they're helping
01:31:28.640 with attack iran turkey allows a turkey exports oil to netanyahu they or transports oil from
01:31:37.600 azerbaijan azerbaijan is a key ally turkey allows nato planes to fly awax to gather intelligence
01:31:45.920 so it's they're all working so it's like a it's this axis of resistance against the entire west
01:31:53.100 and its regional proxies the collective west so they must so the axis must be defeated
01:32:00.940 because on paper they're much stronger but it is the resilience of the people whether in gaza
01:32:10.860 whether in lebanon whether in yemen i mean the yemenis were bombed for seven weeks
01:32:17.420 and they too were heroic like hezbollah they were sacrificing for another people
01:32:21.660 the Palestinians of course heroic but they're fighting for themselves for their lives for the
01:32:27.120 existence a legitimate fight obviously just like the South Africans were a foreign entity takes
01:32:36.180 their land expels them kills them they resist but Yemen was struggling to help the Palestinians and
01:32:43.740 they were murdered and bombed as a result because they were saying don't kill these people for seven
01:32:50.040 weeks they stood their ground too if the Americans did their research they would recognize that it's
01:32:56.400 not just about guns of course the Iranians have shown genius and brilliance they've developed
01:33:03.000 their own indigenous technology their defense missile capabilities and so on are extraordinary
01:33:07.920 they have weapons of the United States simply does not have despite all the sanctions despite
01:33:12.900 all the punishment that the collective West tries to impose on the country with the help of their
01:33:18.720 proxies for all these decades. But ultimately, it is that resilience, that resistance, and
01:33:27.180 that is what makes the axis of resistance so heroic and so formidable as a force against
01:33:37.540 the Epstein class.
01:33:40.280 So what was your personal experience, like volunteering? Did you fight against Iran?
01:33:46.500 i mean you fought against iraq my mistake you fought against iraq
01:33:50.400 yes i in in 1982 i was 16 and i volunteered at that when when you're sick during that period
01:33:59.920 when you're 16 you have to be interviewed you can't just volunteer and go to war so they
01:34:05.880 interviewed you to see if you're like mature enough or if they believe that you're mature
01:34:12.040 enough some of my classmates they were accepted like my friends not just my classmates we they
01:34:18.280 they were allowed to go and get training and go to war some were not even though they were just as
01:34:23.860 mature maybe but they they thought that it was too soon for them uh so you have to go through
01:34:30.520 this interview process and then if you are accepted then you go through training and then
01:34:36.420 after training you go to war but since you're a volunteer volunteer you can quit whenever you want
01:34:42.040 it's not when you go you if you don't like it or if you if you fighting a war and or being under
01:34:49.000 fire is not your thing you don't have to stay and the bulk of the war was fought by volunteers
01:34:57.240 because we were sanctioned saddam was provided with everything all the latest weapons and
01:35:03.320 technology and chemical weapons and we were even blocked from purchasing gas masks
01:35:08.280 so you had to have this resilience this faith this uh belief in in resistance and again
01:35:18.840 during the war the the culture of ashura was a key component in us being able to confront
01:35:26.560 saddam hussein because the entire world was behind it and we were alone all these arab
01:35:32.240 family dictatorships back then gave him hundreds of billions of dollars the west gave him chemical
01:35:36.200 weapons that you know the human rights people in the west will never apologize in in one instance
01:35:43.800 in iraqi in northern iraq they carried out saddam carried out a chemical attack against the city of
01:35:50.520 halepche and killed six thousand six thousand five hundred people within minutes
01:35:58.440 was he condemned no did the u.n security council do anything no did western government sanction
01:36:04.200 him no they continue to support him they iran took western journalists to see the town and the
01:36:11.240 the massacre just a couple of reports in the newspaper and that was it
01:36:18.440 so people i mean if for for my generation people like me who saw these things
01:36:24.840 it's easy to comprehend when to understand that the west political regimes are evil
01:36:32.760 but for young people in iran a lot of them had many questions and ironically the war
01:36:39.880 and the murder the bombing of so many hospitals and schools and no one apologizes you know when
01:36:45.240 they bombed the school have you heard any american government official apologize oh of course not
01:36:51.640 they said that the tomahawk missiles were stolen by iran and that yeah yeah whatever yeah but no
01:36:58.440 they will not even they will not admit it and they will not apologize and so young iranians
01:37:04.600 who are fooled by these remember i told you about this persian media empire that's in the west that's
01:37:09.880 very antagonistic towards iran there are more persian language tv channels both online and
01:37:16.040 offline than there are in iran broadcast from the west that's how much money they put into this from
01:37:21.640 taxpayer taxpayers money and so they're constantly you know to young iranians impressionable
01:37:30.120 teenagers and so on telling them how evil your country is and you know constantly giving this
01:37:35.720 missing different this information but now these young kids those who are influenced by these
01:37:42.760 narratives they look and see they slaughtered all those kids and they're blaming us and they won't
01:37:49.320 even apologize and western media doesn't care they're bombing hospitals they're bombing ambulances
01:37:56.840 they're bombing schools again they bombed the rest the main building of the red crescent society
01:38:02.600 they bombed the national um emergency center for first responders it's clear what they're trying
01:38:13.240 to do they bomb uh everything that is linked to civil society they want they want the civil
01:38:21.960 society to collapse because they're barbaric and you earlier on you spoke about terrorism
01:38:29.240 the terrorists are the guys who drop bombs from the air those pilots are the terrorists
01:38:35.320 the terrorists of the 21st century and the late 20th century are are these pilots that slaughter
01:38:41.880 people or the guys who press the buttons for those tomahawk missiles they're the terrorists
01:38:48.040 they're the murderers that terrorize kids in iran day and night earlier i told you they were bombing
01:38:53.320 tehran as we were speaking they bombed somewhere near here i suppose but i don't know i was looking
01:38:58.040 at you but the point is that they're terrorists those pilots are all terrorists they carry out
01:39:06.360 double tap up attacks they bomb a square people rush to help they bomb it again this epstein
01:39:14.920 coalition i have you know i i probably put there's one i'm you may have seen a woman is filming
01:39:22.040 herself after the first strike and then she's killed in the second strike i i tweeted that
01:39:29.320 they carry out double tap attacks these are monsters but of course it's not strange because
01:39:35.480 they're doing it all the time in lebanon they bomb apartment blocks in beirut and then western
01:39:41.480 media calls it hezbollah strongholds why because they don't want people to know in the west that
01:39:46.600 these are apartment buildings where 10 20 families live in them they call it a stronghold so
01:39:51.560 everything is legitimized just like in gaza they when they bombed the hospital they said oh they
01:39:59.720 are you know uh first they said in the first hospital said they said it was a resistance
01:40:04.440 rocket that hit it it was and then western intelligence agencies all came out of tests
01:40:09.000 and said yes our uh information says that it was the islamic jihad or hamas i think they said
01:40:15.480 islamic john like a rocket would kill hundreds of people that was the first hospital then the
01:40:20.680 second hospital they said oh they're tunnels and we knew that those were lies too and then they
01:40:25.480 just started hitting hospital after hospital the western media saw we can't just justify all this
01:40:31.320 they stopped reporting it and then they went so far as to pull the plug go into hospitals and pull
01:40:37.720 the plugs of the incubators so when they wanted to attack saddam hussein they fabricated the story
01:40:45.320 about incubators in kuwait but in reality the israelis did it so they launched a war against
01:40:51.720 iraq and i hated saddam hussein he was an evil monster but iran actually was the only country
01:40:57.480 in this region that opposed the war against iraq the invasion of iraq but the first war
01:41:02.840 when it invaded kuwait which was illegitimate that's you know yeah but in order to justify
01:41:10.520 war against saddam they you they used fake news in the first war and one of them was they used the
01:41:17.400 daughter of the uh kuwaiti ambassador to washington they didn't say that she was the
01:41:26.200 daughter of the ambassador she said i was in the hospital and they pulled the plugs on the
01:41:30.040 incubators and threw out the babies and took them the iraqis in order to demonize the iraq
01:41:36.120 and the eyes of americans to justify make the case for war but it was fake but the israelis
01:41:42.600 actually did it and no one cared in the mainstream media ordinary people did young americans
01:41:51.160 are overwhelmingly opposed to the israeli regime they their eyes are open they're
01:41:57.560 they're clear-sighted but i'm talking about the mainstream media
01:42:02.840 so or for example the rape of calisthenians it's on camera but they would like to say muslims rape
01:42:10.920 or the iranians rape they just make it up why to demonize but the israelis actually do it it's on
01:42:17.160 camera but look away because you know let's not go there let me get away with in any case they don't
01:42:22.680 get prosecuted yeah and they get away with everything yeah and they're heroes they're
01:42:28.040 national heroes people you know go to the streets for them they celebrate their acquittals and and
01:42:33.960 all that this is the world that we live in but things are changing much faster than these uh
01:42:41.240 the ruling class the epstein class thinks it's changing they're not going to win this war
01:42:48.680 they're not going to the the ground forces may come in and i feel sorry for these american kids
01:42:55.000 they're they want they're going to be sent to fight for epstein for the epstein class they're
01:43:00.280 not fighting for anything but but criminals in washington and in tel aviv as joe kent
01:43:07.400 that pointed out and he's obviously no friend of Iran um but in any case it will fail it will
01:43:17.960 only make things worse Iran will resist and uh Iran will remain steadfast whatever the price
01:43:26.300 and it doesn't matter if you know if people like me survive or don't survive
01:43:32.600 this resistance will continue and Iran under no circumstances
01:43:37.400 Will it forsake the children of Palestine?
01:43:42.580 What advice would you give to the Americans watching of a predominantly American audience?
01:43:48.340 And we're slowly realizing the faults of our empire, especially this coinciding with the release of the Epstein files.
01:43:56.000 I think a lot of people are becoming disillusioned with their country and the current administration.
01:44:00.980 We want the best for our country.
01:44:03.240 Where do you think we can go from here?
01:44:06.260 it's not for me to say first of all people who have opposed all this criminal behavior
01:44:15.240 and to stand against it they have nothing to be ashamed of sometimes people say i'm ashamed of
01:44:21.040 my country except my apologies and i say look if you're opposed to this you're not guilty of
01:44:26.660 anything you're actually being heroic a lot of my friends in the united states who are
01:44:32.580 active politically
01:44:34.700 and support Cuba
01:44:36.840 or support Iran or support
01:44:38.720 the Palestinians or support
01:44:40.420 they're all heroes
01:44:41.660 from different religions
01:44:44.540 and races and
01:44:45.720 classes and so on.
01:44:49.600 But people have to
01:44:50.700 become, they have to read more,
01:44:52.880 they have to be more active.
01:44:55.900 They have to,
01:44:57.060 but it's not for me to say what they
01:44:58.680 should do, but they
01:45:00.580 should not be indifferent.
01:45:02.580 they have a responsibility and as patriotic americans people who love their country they
01:45:13.440 have a responsibility to change the united states and to make it a better place and have no doubt
01:45:21.380 that if it wasn't for zionism today iran and the united states would not be enemies even though
01:45:26.320 the united states was an oppressive you know there they they imposed the shah and you know i
01:45:31.920 spoke about all this he supported saddam hussein they they encouraged him to invade the country
01:45:36.960 then they imposed sanctions and they've hurt iran for all these years but if it wasn't for zionism
01:45:43.200 i would assume i'm pretty sure that iran and the united states would have political relations and
01:45:47.120 they'd be doing trade and business so they should oppose zionism but they should not equate zionism
01:45:56.000 with any religion just like as no one should equate uh isis and al-qaeda and jaysh al-islam
01:46:04.480 and all these criminal terrorist groups with islam and people should be careful not to let
01:46:11.680 the powers that exist divide them whether it's based on religion or sect or race or ethnicity
01:46:19.680 or whatever and uh i'm optimistic about the future i think that these are dark times
