00:23That this is not an Israeli-Palestinian issue, but an Israeli-Iran issue

00:27They always worked for their own cause, even at our expense. They never carried our orders.

00:38We didn't know about October 7th. Actually, we were supposed to have a meeting with the

00:44Americans on JCPOA renewal on October 9th, which was undermined and destroyed by this

00:51operation. I wouldn't suggest anybody to start rejoicing over destroying Hamas, Hezbollah,

00:58or the Palestinian resistance, or to cutting Iran's arms, because

01:07the resistance will stay as long as the occupation stays, as long as repression stays.

01:15Nobody thinks of Iran as such an easy, uh, place to carry out their rims. So we are,

01:25we can move forward. So let's talk about forward based on opportunity rather than based on

01:31threats. Well, had we wanted to build a nuclear weapon, we could have done it long time ago.

01:35But, but, but a program to build nuclear weapons is not going to be like our program.

01:43You build nuclear weapons in hidden laboratories that are not subject to international inspections.

01:49By the way, Iran is not a security threat. Some people want to frame Iran as a security threat.

01:58Iranophobia, Islamophobia are tools to carry out programs like the genocide in Gaza,

02:10always saying that we're doing this against Iran. But if you're doing it against children in Gaza,

02:17I hope that this time around, a Trump 2 will be more serious, more focused, more realistic

02:30to know that his withdrawal from, that the withdrawal that was imposed on him,

02:36uh, and he has said it, that he did it for Israel.

02:42And he has said now that he won't do anything for any other country. He said it on his inauguration.

02:50After he withdrew from JCPOA, Iran has gained much more nuclear capability.
