00:00:09.820You've ruined my opportunity to give a witty response.
00:00:13.740Netanyahu and the likes of Netanyahu have been saying that Iran is weeks away or months away from a nuclear weapon.
00:00:19.340To make a bomb very quickly, if they wanted to do it.
00:00:22.100Iran is so dangerous, weeks away from having the fissile material for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs.
00:00:30.960They're very close. They're six months away from being about 90% of having the rich uranium for an atom bomb.
00:00:36.220U.S. intelligence claims that Iran before 2003 was moving in that direction, but after 2003, there was a fatwa and Iran discontinued completely.
00:03:04.960international internet connection is limited to news agencies studios and that sort of thing for
00:03:10.020the time being as after the war started so in order for me to speak with the an international
00:03:21.200audience i'm linked through a studio connection okay and i spoke to there's another journalist
00:03:30.500And I heard that they get some access to SIM cards right now because the internet is shut off.
00:03:35.500And so select people, only a select few in Iran are even able to have a conversation like this.
00:03:40.580So taking that valuable time, I do appreciate it.
00:03:44.160So I've been looking into your history and I do like your way of fighting back against the propaganda.
00:03:51.740You've had some impressive responses to them trying to lie about what's happening in Iran.
00:03:58.720And especially when it comes to the terrorist regime and the creation of Hezbollah, especially you said that you volunteered in the early 80s.
00:04:06.720You reiterated on a recent show that Hezbollah was started in 1982 in response to Israel's invasion of Beirut.
00:04:14.300And that was finally accomplished in 2000, expelling them out.
00:04:17.580And now we're seeing the full circle story.
00:04:22.440And now there's another illegal invasion and a million people have been displaced and Hezbollah has been fighting back.
00:04:31.860Yes, Hezbollah is doing an extraordinary job pushing back.
00:04:38.520And we have to remember that really in this episode that we've had since the last two and a half years,
00:04:46.740this episode in the struggle for the Palestinian people,
00:04:49.560Perhaps the most heroic of all the organizations that have been a part of the axis of resistance has been the role of Hezbollah.
00:05:01.960Because Hezbollah has sacrificed itself and its supporters and its men, women, and children in order to draw off Israeli regime forces from Gaza.
00:05:19.560so they put themselves at risk to save and spare another people Ansar Allah did that too
00:05:26.620so did Iran so did the resistance in Iraq and so on but Hezbollah is right beside the Israeli regime
00:05:33.200and the carpet bombing Beirut is something that they've experienced before we know that
00:05:41.120Dahir doctrine is something that the Israelis used many years ago in other words flatten
00:05:49.120in the city and destroy everything just what they've done to gaza in gaza was i think mowing
00:05:57.200the grass or mowing the lawn in lebanon it was the dahia doctrine but despite that and despite
00:06:03.840the fact that lebanon is full of traitors and the united states and israelis have a big support base
00:06:12.480in lebanon not the majority but a significant minority hezbollah is effectively not in control
00:06:20.480of the country therefore the enemy can gather intelligence the enemy can penetrate into
00:06:29.200areas where hezbollah is active but despite all that when the genocide in gaza began
00:06:35.520they began fighting on the northern border of occupied palestine to draw israeli forces away
00:06:45.420and that makes a contribution to saving the children of palestine and the palestinians of
00:06:54.780gaza unique so in preparation for this interview and as people saw me announce this i've heard a
00:07:04.680lot of different descriptions of your position in iran right now they consider you to be a major
00:07:10.900spokesperson some people are saying you're a propagandist some people are saying the fbi was
00:07:15.640gonna go bust down my door for doing this interview and you know they were criticizing me oh he's
00:07:21.700finally leaving the sunnis behind and aligning aligning with the shia so what exactly is true
00:07:27.800about Professor Morandi's position within Iran?
00:07:32.860Well, I don't know what it means to leave Sunnis behind
00:07:36.820because the whole of the 47 years after the revolution in Iran,
00:07:45.560the suffering of the Iranian people through sanctions,
00:19:54.300Because by creating a Shia-Sunni divide, by making this sectarian, they justify their own inaction.
00:20:04.560Because when the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Ansar Allah, the Iraqi resistance and others,
00:20:14.280when they're resisting in Turkey under Erdogan or Qatar or Saudi Arabia or Jordan are doing nothing, then they look bad.
00:20:23.360So 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.
00:20:43.420so that is our part of the way in the United States I think the biggest question is
00:20:51.460uh Iran being run by Matt Mullahs perhaps uh for older people uh the embassy takeover
00:21:05.080I think that probably for younger people is not all that important because they may not remember
00:21:10.240that period in history but let me swiftly go through a very brief history of Iran but again
00:21:16.540I uh and insist that your audience read that book there are other I'm sure there are other
00:21:22.300good books but um that I think is a very good book to start with in 1953 Iran had a government
00:21:30.100a prime minister that was elected by parliament
00:21:32.680and he and the public and politicians uh not just him but they wanted to nationalize Iranian oil
00:21:43.840because the British were basically taking the oil for free almost literally for free
00:21:52.780and so when he nationalized oil the oil the British and American the Americans conspired
00:22:00.220against Iran and carried out a coup in 1953 the Shah was reinstalled a dark dictatorship was imposed
00:22:11.680and Iran sort of became sort of like these family dictatorships in the Persian Gulf a very wealthy
00:22:17.200elite stealing all the money buying lots of arms from the United States never producing anything
00:22:23.440really on their own not even being allowed to use those weapons on their own you have
00:22:30.040American advisors dealing with those weapons and enormous poverty continued to exist in Iran.0.96
00:22:37.800When the revolution in 1979 happened, a strong majority of women were uneducated. They were0.55
00:22:46.200illiterate, something like 60 percent. In villages it was over 90 percent. And of course after the
00:22:56.040revolution during the 1980s where saddam hussein invaded iran at the behest of the west iran had a
00:23:02.200national uh literacy campaign and the literacy rate in iran went up to roughly 90 percent in
00:23:12.680a bit over a decade again my numbers may not be precise people can use deep seek or other
00:23:19.000um ai tools and get the numbers it's not very difficult but in any case uh the shah was
00:23:27.320reinstalled and the united states helped create the sabat a sinister secret police and the musad
00:23:35.240also helped create that sinister organization many people went to jail my father was in jail
00:23:44.280for six months uh or me five months maybe i don't know the exact amount of time but anyway but many
00:23:51.640went to jail multiple times and many were tortured to death and then in 1979 we had a revolution it
00:24:00.280was probably the only real popular revolution in the 20th century and until now because every day
00:24:06.440people across the streets across cities and across the country in difference in all the
00:24:13.640different cities and um they came to the streets of their cities and proceeded protested against
00:24:18.440the shah and one day in tehran during the revolution a day called black friday the shah's
00:24:25.640army gunned down a large number of people and the next day the u.s president jimmy carter
00:24:31.320called the shah and gave him his full support subsequently when the shah was overthrown
00:24:39.320so this mass murderer in the eyes of iranians because he gunned down so many people
00:24:43.960he after the revolution sought refuge in the united states this is important because i'm
00:24:49.320getting to the the embassy takeover he sought refuge in the united states university and
00:24:55.960students in iran remembered 1953 and they were afraid that they were preparing a coup to bring
00:25:04.200the shah back right this was right after the revolution and the u.s embassy was active in
00:25:11.880trying to undermine the country so they took the embassy and when they took the embassy they found
00:25:17.720they discovered all these documents showing that the embassy was actively working to undermine the
00:25:21.960state and thus we had 440 days up 44 days of the hostage crisis so from many from the american
00:25:31.960perspective at least the narrative produced by american textbooks at school the media even
00:25:38.520history books. Iran, the problem between Iran and the United States, began with embassy takeover.
00:25:47.100But from the Iranian perspective, the embassy takeover was a result of two and a half decades
00:25:53.520of injustice and oppression and manipulation carried out by the U.S. government.
00:26:02.200Right? So the embassy takeover is a bit more complicated than what people in the United States
00:26:07.620often hear the second point and you said i think you said mentioned one i'll mention the second one
00:26:14.740and that is the mad mullah myth iran has a constitution it has a leader that's elected by a
00:26:22.340body that leader is a high is a very high religious authority but a highly educated person
00:26:31.060who in in the case of ayatollah khamenei who was martyred he was fluent in four languages
00:26:37.620Persian, Arabic, Azari, Khamenei means from Khameneh.
00:26:44.980Khameneh is an Azari city near Tabriz.
00:26:47.160Just like my own name, Marandi, means from Marand.
00:35:37.160again this is this is all anecdotal but we have high numbers of iranian scientists
00:35:43.800we have high numbers of female scientists female academics
00:35:49.000And 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.
00:36:11.160books but even if you use those uh materials and use uh a Western AI uh you will see that a lot of
00:36:21.720the the material that is out there is nonsense but again I would I would and I'm sorry for saying
00:36:27.420this for like the fifth time I'm not getting any money from the liberates uh but um I would buy the
00:36:35.580going to Tehran book and read it and I think your viewers would be pleasantly surprised
00:36:41.160So 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.
00:36:56.900there was a girl who went viral for you know dancing when the bombing started the day where
00:37:01.380168 girls were killed in the attack on the manab school and then recently her cousin passed away
00:37:06.580in the bombings and she refused to blame epsi regime and continued to blame the islamic republic
00:37:11.220in her own words why do you see so many of those people celebrate the attacks on their own country
00:37:17.780it's a confusing diaspora well first of all it's more complicated than that and i've been to places
00:37:24.900where there are lots of Iranians, and sometimes I'm recognized, and I've always been treated
00:37:35.280in a very positive way. I've never been insulted by anyone on the streets or in neighborhoods where
00:37:41.700there are lots of Iranians. I haven't been everywhere, obviously, but I've been in places
00:37:45.520in Europe, and I have traveled to the United States, and I have been to California, Southern
00:37:53.320california in particular so um first of all most iranians are not like that these are a
00:38:01.800if you are supportive of iran in the west you are not going to have an easy time
00:38:09.000you are going to be harassed and i know people who went to jail uh on trumped up charges
00:38:16.200like a a gentleman who ran a Islamic center in uh southern Los Angeles uh called Sayyid Mahmoud
00:38:25.520uh Tabatabai I think his name was I never and he he they arrested him and the IRS went after him
00:38:34.380and he was in solitary confinement for a very long time for nothing and then his lawyer his
00:38:40.620second lawyer contacted me and I'd never met this Iranian person before I think it said Mahmoud
00:38:47.580Musadhi I'm not quite sure I forgot his name but anyway this is a long time ago I think it's
00:38:54.060said Mahmoud Musadhi I'm not sure so his lawyer who was Jewish called me and said this person
00:39:00.360who's in jail um I think there's something wrong and can you help me so he I said sure and he sent
00:39:07.740the documents that the government used to put him in jail the prosecutor and it was all trash
00:39:14.940it was nonsense it was like his when he was a soldier he had like he had an id card and it had
00:39:21.580the logo of the guards and they used that to say that he's a member of the guards and the judge
00:39:27.580just said okay and his first lawyer for whatever reason did nothing about it so this guy went to
00:39:33.580solidary confinement for nothing and this decent lawyer never met him but got him out of prison
00:39:41.900but after but he got a cancer in jail and he died after coming out what i'm saying is that
00:39:51.020being pro iran comes at a very heavy price in the west being pro hezbollah being pro hamas being pro
00:39:59.740uh you know whatever if you're pro-resistance you are in trouble a b a lot of these people who
00:40:09.020are anti-run are on the payroll you have a persian language empire a media media empire in the west
00:40:17.980hundreds of media outlets pbd funded sorry like patrick by david's show no no no no this i'm
00:40:26.700talking about persian language i'm talking about persian language media you have many websites you
00:40:33.260have many tv channels you have you have troll farms there's just one there's one troll farm with
00:40:39.740almost 4 000 people in albania these are mek members which is a terrorist organization
00:40:49.020that killed 17 000 iranians during the 1980s and they fought for saddam hussein against their own
00:40:55.020country they have offices across europe north america under different names so the united
00:41:02.940states is funding all sorts of different groups media outlets the americans and the europeans
00:41:07.740and these people hire lots of people so many many many iranians so-called iranians are on
00:41:15.740the payroll in one form or another and some of these others were not on the payroll there are
00:41:20.140people who for example they fled iran during the revolution they took a lot of money with them
00:41:25.660especially in rich areas in los angeles well these people felt that they owned the country and
00:41:32.380now they don't sort of like some cubans in in florida but uh most of the iranian diaspora
00:41:41.100they are quiet and they are not happy about this war but they're not very politically active
00:41:48.620because as i said political activism comes at a price i mean look at my case
00:41:56.460right now i there's a verified account on twitter that is and it's there's paid partnership
00:42:06.220they put out a tweet with paid partnership that is fundraising they want to gather a million dollars
00:42:15.180to kidnap me and of course that means basically that i'll be tortured and killed
00:42:23.260that tweet is it's been on it's it's still there it's been there for six days now
00:42:30.780despite many thousands of people uh complaining and twitter refuses to move it remove it
00:42:38.540so twitter has a policy of supporting terrorism so imagine if you're an iranian
00:42:47.340or a palestinian or an iraqi or whatever or anyone living in the west and you're from one
00:42:57.420of these countries and you support iran or the resistance do you think you're going to get a job
00:43:04.300at a you know if you go even if you go to a good university will they give you will you ever get
00:43:10.380tenure if i went to the united states me and i wanted to get a job they wouldn't give me a job
00:43:18.220at a kindergarten there's no doubt about it so i understand why some people are silenced and i
00:43:27.420understand why some people actually would be opposed to iran because these people too are
00:43:33.260bombarded by anti-irani narratives when you're bombarded by certain narratives day and night
00:43:40.060you start to believe them often so i i would argue that the iranian diaspora based on my own
00:43:49.260anecdotal experiences are not all of are not the majority are not like these people
00:43:55.660and these people the very fact that they celebrate when the country is being bombed i think tells
00:43:59.820more than enough about their moral status and their support for israel
00:44:07.580i mean you can hate iran but why would you carry the israeli flag
00:44:12.620many of them must be paid it is uh confusing to see what what is your analysis moving to the war
00:44:20.540I'm seeing reports from Iranian officials that there is one GCC country that is going to join
00:44:26.380Israel and fight against Iran. I'm sure you've seen this, and they didn't reveal who it is.
00:44:32.680I'm seeing some people say it's the UAE. Who is it? Well, that's really not for me to say, because
00:44:39.880if I'm not privy to these things, and I can make a guess, but if I made a guess,
00:44:49.580it wouldn't look good because people do seem you know they do promote this idea that I am a
00:44:54.980spokesman which I'm not and again it's not because I'm like I don't like Iran if they hire me as the
00:45:02.180spokesperson I have no problem with it but the reason why I don't have a government position
00:45:08.120is because I want to be independent because I can I think I can have a greater impact as an
00:45:13.760independent person I have I teach at the University of Tehran I have a job I don't need to be a
00:45:19.780but if if for whatever reason someone suddenly came and said we need you as a spokesperson
00:45:26.020and i was convinced that i would be more useful as a spokesperson i would accept so when i say
00:45:31.780i'm not a spokesman it's not because i'm trying to distance myself from anything
00:45:36.820i fought on the war fronts for this country when lebanon was attacked by the israelis i went to
00:45:43.060lebanon on my own i was at a hotel when said hassan nasrullah was martyred i was in bayoult
00:45:51.780i've been to syria multiple times during the dirty war and i went to syrian university spoke with
00:45:59.220students met people all sorts of people in syria i've been to iraq during the fight against isis
00:46:07.060i've i've been to these places i'm not afraid of saying these things right now i have a bounty on
00:46:14.500my head i'm not going to be intimidated because i know that i'm i've been thank god on the right
00:46:21.140side of history throughout these years i'm not a good person i'm not a a an ideal person i mean
00:46:30.660sometimes some people because they see me online and they they are very kind to me uh but i'm not
00:46:38.180i don't consider myself to be a a role model or or anything like that i'm lacking in every um
00:46:48.820aspect of you know my personality i aspire to be something very different than what i really
00:46:55.220what 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
00:47:10.740been advocating during these years has been correct and i think time has vindicated what
00:47:17.960i've been saying but again it doesn't mean that i'm any a great person or i'm a great personality
00:47:23.180I'm not particularly smart. I'm not particularly knowledgeable. There are academics in my
00:47:30.820department that are better than me in literature and Orientalism. But I'm an activist, and I try
00:47:38.220to do as much as I can as an activist. Well, you say you're not a good person,
00:47:44.240but hearing you right now, it is inspiring to see that although you have a bounty on your head,
00:47:48.220you don't live in fear from what I can tell. And I think what the Umar could take a page out of
00:47:55.580the book from Iran and understand that there's 2 billion Muslims, right? And Iran is the sole
00:48:00.980country really fighting back right now. Hopefully we can be inspired by people like you and people
00:48:06.060of your nation and understand that if we lived with less fear and we worked together, that we
00:48:13.320wouldn't need to live under this oppression that we're currently living under from the obscene
00:48:16.960regime. I agree. I don't think it's, I mean, not about myself, but I agree with what you say in
00:48:23.020general. But it's not just Muslims. It's beyond that. I think non-Muslims alike, all of those
00:48:30.540oppressed. And they are in the United States, they're in the West, and they're across the
00:48:34.800global South, or what some call the global majority. And Iran is taking this stand on
00:48:40.620behalf of everyone. And that's why Iran is so deeply despised and hated and antagonized. And
00:48:46.140why it's been antagonized for all these years and again i remind your viewers that who may be saying
00:48:53.260really i mean this horrible country where you know they've done all these horrible things we've heard
00:48:58.700we know all i mean just think about it this is the country that opposes genocide and the ones that
00:49:04.620are antagonizing it are the ones who support genocide then let's start reading about iran
00:49:11.020understanding about iran and make conclusions but um you know one of the things that i have
00:49:19.420experienced during the last four weeks is that in iran people they're the ones who protected the
00:49:27.100state and the country during this war when the leader was murdered on day one when ayatollah
00:49:33.180khamenei was murdered on day one and he refused to leave his office even though he was a target
00:49:39.980he said a lot of people have no place to go i'm staying here so when he was martyred it took a
00:49:46.140week for the country because of the situation to elect a new leader for a week people preserved the
00:49:54.060state they preserved the country they went to the streets every night and tonight under heavy rain
00:50:03.420and last night under heavy rain people are on the streets in tehran and in other cities huge
00:50:08.620numbers in different neighborhoods you can see it iranian news agencies like farce news or press tv
00:50:19.420or other outlets or some activists who put footage of of these people but i want to get to a couple
00:50:24.780of examples on the last friday of the month of ramadan uh the iranians have since the revolution
00:50:34.460began they have this day in solidarity they have a rally across the country
00:50:42.060in support of the palestinian people it's called international putz day or international jerusalem
00:50:47.580day let's say and so in tehran people like in other cities they gather after friday before
00:50:54.220friday prayers and they demonstrate against the israeli regime and in support of the palestinian
00:51:00.300people every year this friday was during the war across the country and in tehran
00:51:08.540during the rally the epstein coalition bombed the rally have you ever heard of a demonstration
00:51:18.540being bombed by an air force and a woman was killed in the rally
00:51:24.460no one budged young 16 year old teenagers young girls on the streets they could have stayed at
00:51:36.620home and they could have done what teenagers do they were on the streets the missile struck
00:51:44.020and they didn't budge they didn't stampede they didn't scream they stood their ground
00:51:51.220and this was not the only this was the rally that i was at and there's footage of it i tweeted it
00:51:58.100others have too it's not in western mainstream media for obvious reasons
00:52:02.140why would they tell the world that we bomb protesters we carry out airstrikes on protesters
00:52:10.880and they did this in the city of hamadan i've also posted footage of that and they did it in
00:52:17.980city of anzali in the north of iran i also posted footage of that people are on the suits it's
00:52:23.020visible when a 16 year old girl or a 17 year old boy stands his ground stands her ground
00:52:34.860in the face of missiles i do not have the right to be intimidated
00:52:42.620i do not have the right to go silent because there's a bounty on my head
00:52:48.920so even if i wanted to even if i was fearful
00:52:53.560i can't they are the courageous ones not me they are the young the youthful and i've never seen
00:53:06.200such scenes in my life literally i mean the footage is there if people just go back
00:53:11.640the friday uh my friday tweets of the last day or whatever i mean during those days i've been
00:53:21.520tweeting a lot unfortunately i i hate twitter but i'm you know i've been ever since the
00:53:27.060the genocide in gaza began i've been tweeting and tweeting uh it's uh you know i but anyway
00:53:34.480i feel like this is what i have to do so uh they can find the footage it's there you won't find it
00:53:40.660on in western media but you can find it on in some places online and by the way
00:53:49.140while there's a bounty on my head and they refuse to remove the tweet that is uh
00:53:56.020that has paid partnership i have and i'm sure your viewers many of them have similar
00:54:00.660experiences i have many tweets that have been removed because for example i would put a picture
00:54:07.300of palestinians palestinian kids who are murdered and then i'd say like i write like west western
00:54:13.940civilization and put it let's say in scare quotes quotes or maybe i wouldn't put it i just write
00:54:19.940western civilization i don't remember i've had multiple tweets that were that were removed and
00:54:25.860they told me you have to remove this otherwise you won't have access to your uh twitter account
00:54:31.140so i'd have to delete them so i have to delete tweets that are because they would say that is
00:54:39.140not western civilization i mean that's that's the argument i have to remove the tweet because
00:54:44.660this is not western civilization so i have to remove such tweets and then they are threatening
00:54:51.620to kidnap torture and murder me that's implied and they're fundraising and they have
00:55:01.140a verified account and they can do that so that is the nature of western media that's the nature of
00:55:10.660western social media apps and i think it's it's very revealing so
00:55:21.700no one should imagine that there's any real difference between twitter and facebook and
00:55:27.700instagram of course i've been removed from facebook and instagram a long time ago
00:55:34.500but uh there's no real difference between them they all are very closely affiliated with
00:55:40.500the deep state or the epstein class and i'm not saying people since there are not any alternatives
00:55:47.620yet out there hopefully there will be and hopefully there will be countries in the global majority
00:55:51.700that together we'll build new apps which are independent and we can move to that but in any
00:55:57.620case people should be aware of what these uh what these uh people really are doing and what their
00:56:05.060affiliations are well speaking of their lies trump just had a cabinet meeting and he was
00:56:11.540talking about the gift that the people of iran gave so thank you as an american thank you for
00:56:16.900the generous generosity uh eight boats of oil thank you so much professor mirandi is this true
00:56:24.500that you gifted eight boats of oil to trump as a peace treaty no nothing zero iran has allowed
00:56:34.900a handful of ships tankers oil and gas to leave the persian gulf but they were sent to countries
00:56:45.380like i think bangladesh and pakistan and china and india had nothing to do with trump or the united
00:56:54.660states and in the case of india i think if i'm not mistaken the indians took three of iranian
00:57:03.860oil tankers at the behest of the united states a few months ago and they released those tankers
00:57:10.500and uh allowed and the iranians allowed to gas uh ships with lng to go to india but in any case
00:57:18.500none of this has anything to do with the united states i mean trump is trump tomorrow he's going
00:57:24.100to say something else i mean tomorrow he's going to say they asked me to be the leader of iran
00:57:31.380let him you know he says what he says but he said that by now i think by now young americans
00:57:36.820whatever their political orientation is they're smart enough to know that uh nothing truth will
00:57:43.860ever come truthful things rarely come out of his mouth well i believe him when he said that uh me
00:57:49.680and the ayatollah are going to control the strait of hormuz i believe him it's going to be a jointly
00:57:54.080controlled operation with the ayatollah i believe did you ever get to meet how many yes i have met
00:58:01.380him yes what was that like multiple occasions yeah i i i have spoken with him but briefly
00:58:07.540i'm i mean i'm not a political figure again it's not i have nothing against being it uh
00:58:15.440in government or anything like that but i just think that what i do is i think i the way i've
00:58:24.120i'm active as i work as an activist today i'm more effective if i'm not in any government
00:58:32.600but i have met him a few times he's actually once uh he actually one watched one of my interviews
00:58:40.120uh and he's and as i said he's he's fluent in english and uh it was a very old interview
00:58:47.320actually and i won't name the the host or the media outlet but you know the name of the host
00:58:55.320it's mainstream media and we had a you know it was like it was one of those aggressive
00:59:01.480interviews and he saw it and he said you did a good job or something like that
00:59:07.160hang on hangar could have been it's just a guess um and that negotiations happening or is any of
00:59:15.640this true there's a lot of negotiations happen what what happened was that uh trump sent um
00:59:26.760a message or a proposal through pakistan to iran which is not strange we've been exchanging
00:59:33.320messages for decades because we don't have direct relations so messages go back and forth through
00:59:39.560third parties this was by through pakistan it go they go through oman they go through the swiss
00:59:44.760embassies sometimes maybe the russians sometimes maybe some other country in the region it's not
00:59:50.520strange so if someone says they sent a message to iran they've done it hundreds of times if not more
00:59:57.560so they sent a message that's not negotiating that's sending messages and it happens as i
01:00:02.760said regularly so they sent a message to iran through the pakistani government and their
01:00:09.960proposal was not acceptable at all to the iranians and they said no and the iranians put out their
01:00:15.880own demands which were declared in public but again he wanted to manipulate the market to bring
01:00:22.760down the price of energy again just a couple of hours ago he he gave another 10 days not out of
01:00:30.040his i mean he's murdering iranians on a daily basis it's not because he's a nice guy it's
01:00:35.720because he wants to manipulate the markets and he wants more time to kill people and to
01:00:40.440to murder people and maybe he could find a solution but as this these you know as we move
01:00:45.640forward the oil crisis the gas crisis lng crisis the fertilizer crisis the global economic crisis
01:00:52.520is going to get worse and worse and there really is not anything he can do about it even if he
01:00:57.400engages in war well he is engaging but land war he is not going to achieve any results it's going
01:01:04.120to only make things worse so he's uh he's put himself in a very bad place and he's and he's
01:01:11.320wrecking the global economy but it's all being done at the behest of the israeli regime and zionists
01:01:17.480and it's not me saying that it is joe kent saying that joe kent said what we all knew
01:01:27.320he said that iran was not building a nuclear weapon iran is not a threat to the united states
01:01:32.920and listen to what like the u.s secretary of state this uh madman was saying today or the vice
01:01:40.040president who was talking about i don't know nuclear vests or something i mean anyway uh
01:01:46.520these people watch too many of these uh what are they uh superman movies or uh superhero movies
01:01:54.440i mean marvel movies i don't know but uh uh so trump um he and all of the misery that is going
01:02:05.960to befall the people across the world is because of zionism it's because zionists are pushing the
01:02:12.920united states towards have pushed united states towards war with iran and so if you put aside the
01:02:19.080moral immorality of this war and trump began the war by murdering 168 little girls
01:02:25.640and and people in iran believe that this was intentional why because this was done
01:02:32.520this was the first wave of strikes and in the first wave of strikes all the targets are very
01:02:40.760carefully vetted because you have weeks and months to do it if after three four weeks three four
01:02:47.960months maybe some officer in a rush he makes a mistake he's he's rushing to find a new target
01:02:54.680and then he find he designates a certain building and then they bomb it and it turns out to be like
01:03:01.400i don't know some civilian target that's plausible that's possible but for the first wave no that's
01:03:10.600not possible that school was there for years a lot of the students were the children of naval officers
01:03:17.960it was intentional and then trump and then western media was silent about it they're
01:03:23.160still indifferent about it and trump he tried to blame iran
01:03:33.480and he tried to say that the iranians fired the missile even though it was
01:03:36.840the first wave there wasn't even fighting it
01:03:41.400and this i think is reflective of all the anti-iranian propaganda that you hear
01:03:47.960today this week last month last year and over the last 47 years it is more or less
01:03:56.920fake narratives dishonesty the aggressor blaming the victim just like the palestinians the
01:04:04.280palestinians are terrorists but if the palestinians if you put them into a european context
01:04:12.440let's say the french resistance they would be heroes whereas i don't know if you know this
01:04:20.040but the french resistance first of all they killed lots of innocent people second of all
01:04:24.840they weren't even popular in france most french people just wanted peace and quiet
01:04:29.880and they they considered these people as troublemakers
01:04:34.920but the french resistance and afterwards was deemed heroic of course resistance is
01:04:40.920legitimate just like uh in the warsaw ghetto
01:04:50.760certain analysts and pundits and western media analysts they are no different from the nazi
01:04:59.240media people if in the warsaw ghetto the the jews were let's say fired at the officers who
01:05:09.000oppressing them they would be the terrorists that's how these people are that's how they are
01:05:16.200but if it's in a european context if it's to you know like this would be legitimate resistance
01:05:24.040but um but in reality they are just justifying their own oppression and these are the same people
01:05:31.400by the way supported apartheid these are the same regimes that when iran and others were supporting
01:05:40.120the resistance in southern africa they and see in other groups the military wing and the political
01:05:47.400wing these people their governments were supporting the apartheid regime in south africa
01:05:52.760and Nelson Mandela, according to U.S. law, was a terrorist and the ANC was a terrorist organization.
01:06:03.100Nelson Mandela was freed from jail. He was still a terrorist. He became president. He was still a
01:06:10.640terrorist. His term ended. He left office. He was still a terrorist. After he retired from politics,
01:06:19.000The ANC and Nelson Mandela were removed from the terrorist list in the United States.
01:06:26.260It'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.
01:06:38.780It's not just that. And here I would disagree to a degree. I agree with you in general. I agree.
01:06:45.380But it can also be, I mean, we saw what the British did to the Irish, what the empire did to the Irish.
01:06:54.360And today, I don't know if you can find this, or maybe your viewers can find it.
01:06:59.040When the war in Ukraine began, regardless of who's right and who's wrong in Ukraine,
01:07:05.920personally, I think that the West is to blame because they carried out a coup in Ukraine.
01:09:00.960They know how to point it out on a list of criminals in a lineup, but they can't tell you exactly what it means.
01:09:09.020And that's the difference. And that's the unfortunate truth about something like Epstein.
01:09:12.600Although Jeffrey Epstein was not a white man, he was Jewish.
01:09:16.580They 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.
01:09:28.380so the the logic is not consistent right and that's why well i would say actually that many
01:09:35.580jews are white i mean if he came from europe i i don't know his roots they he is they would be
01:09:40.440european which is not a bad thing or a good thing but he's definitely you know most jews are not
01:09:46.300semites most of israeli government are not palestinian jews are semites but jews that are
01:09:55.080from eastern europe or from across uh the africa north africa and our part of the world they're
01:10:02.040they're not semites and there's nothing good or bad about it there's nothing you know i we i have
01:10:09.160many jewish friends secular and religious i have orthodox jew friends anti-israel of course all my
01:10:15.880jewish friends are anti-israel and zionism is not judaism simply because of the fact that many jews
01:10:24.680and increase in their increasing in number reject zionism just like isis and al-qaeda are not islam
01:10:32.280just as the nazis are not christianity you know so uh in in in the case of isis and al-qaeda we
01:10:43.160know that in syria and iraq isis and al-qaeda were funded by proxies of the west and the west itself
01:10:50.280as i said you know jake sullivan said there are with on our side in syria in the 2012 document
01:10:56.920by the u.s defense intelligence agency the u.s intelligence defense intelligence agency stated
01:11:03.560that u.s allies in the region turkey turkey the government of course i'm not talking about the
01:11:09.400people turkey the persian gulf countries jordan they are and there are they want to create a
01:11:16.760salafist entity between syria and iraq
01:11:22.680and later on general michael flynn went on al jazeera of all places because al jazeera was
01:11:28.360supporting isis and al-qaeda and pretending that they were freedom fighters uh he went on al jazeera
01:11:34.760and said that the u.s government supported that policy so the united states was supporting the
01:11:41.160establishment of a salafist entity between syria and iraq who was a talafist entity it was isis
01:11:48.760so when people start saying that oh isis is something muslim no actually it's a it's a
01:11:54.120creation of western intelligence agencies with the funding of their proxies in our region
01:11:58.920and this these groups were first created in afghanistan in fact the first book the first
01:12:04.440textbooks for kids that were extremists were printed in the united states
01:12:12.680they were they were written so that kids on afghan
01:12:18.840hate the soviet and those books were printed at
01:12:24.520the University of Nebraska Nebraska Omaha your viewers can google it right now and so these
01:12:36.520books were published in the United States so this ideology of extremism and taqfidi ideology and so
01:12:42.700on the U.S backed it the Saudis funded it back then later on the Qataris became more in the
01:12:48.640forefront this operation but the west is behind it because at the end of the day it is the united
01:12:55.200states that governs its proxies so they helped create al-qaeda so 9 11 if we look at it
01:13:05.360if we accept the american narrative 9 11 was carried out by its own proxy and it was blowback
01:13:11.680if we look at it from the evidence provided by people like tucker carlson in his document
01:13:16.880documentary there's something else going on and uh and then that it's not just al-qaeda
01:13:24.800al-qaeda was a proxy of someone else as we know and uh the story has become somewhat different
01:13:32.720so the point is that when they say look at these muslim extremists no those people
01:13:38.560that are extremists they're your people and zionism are not jews zionists are zionists
01:13:46.640whether they're christian zionists or jewish scientists or secular zionists
01:13:51.360but in any case the point i'm making is that what i wanted to get to is that people from across the
01:13:59.440world are opposing empire and that is why the islamic republic of iran yes it supports the
01:14:06.960palestinian people it supported the boston people but it also supported the south africans
01:14:11.920it supported and it continues to support Cuba even though right now Iran is not in a terribly
01:14:19.120ideal position to give any sort of serious assistance at the moment but for us what
01:14:28.320the Americans are doing to Cuba is just as shameful I mean the American regime shameful
01:14:34.400and disgusting as what they do did to the syrians during their strangulation of the economy and the
01:14:41.840dirty war what they did to libya what they and gaza perhaps is goes to a very different level because
01:14:48.640it's a it was an open genocide and it's still ongoing but in any case it's the same thing it
01:14:54.160doesn't it doesn't matter to us if the child who's being slaughtered or being starved is
01:15:01.120is uh in cuba or in palestine or in tehran and uh the bias that you pointed out it could you could
01:15:12.540take it a step further and see the difference in the narrative of the war which is similar to iraq
01:15:16.620where they say weapons of mass destruction they keep insinuating that iran has a nuclear weapon
01:15:20.940even though that we had a 12-day war last year and they said that they obliterated the nuclear
01:15:25.920capabilities and this war was necessary because they could dig it up and create a nuclear weapon
01:15:31.440again but i've recently heard that apparently iran has a religious fatwa against creating a
01:15:38.000nuclear weapon this is coming from joe kent is this true and how close for 40 years iran has
01:15:44.240apparently been weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon what's going on yeah you're
01:15:49.440absolutely correct you leave nothing for me to say you've uh you've ruined my opportunity to give a
01:15:56.000witty response but yeah for 40 years the um the netanyahu and the likes of netanyahu have been
01:16:04.080saying that iran is weeks away or months away from a nuclear weapon in fact there's another good book
01:16:09.760book called, I think, Manufactured Crisis, if I'm not mistaken, on the Iranian nuclear program,
01:16:23.920which tells this, it's also an old book somewhat, but like maybe 10, 12, printed 10, 12 years ago,
01:16:31.540but it tells the story of all the lies regarding Iran's nuclear program, and the fact is that the
01:16:38.020National Atomic Energy Agency has monitored Iran's nuclear program more than any other
01:16:42.180nuclear program in the world. And it has never provided evidence to show that Iran has
01:16:47.680been seeking nuclear at any point. U.S. intelligence claims that Iran before 2003 was moving in that
01:16:56.540direction, but after 2003, there was a fatwa and Iran discontinued completely. The IAEA doesn't
01:17:02.760even accept that. The IAEA says there's no indication that Iran was developing a nuclear
01:17:07.260weapon at any time. But in any case, at least there's a consensus that since 2003, nothing has
01:17:13.500happened. And as I said, Iran's nuclear program has been under, I mean, all those buildings that
01:17:19.660were bombed by the Americans, they had International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors
01:17:30.980visiting them regularly. They had cameras in them.
