00:00Hi, everybody. Today is Sunday, June 15th, 2025, and our friend Professor Marandi is back with us.
00:12Well, welcome back, Professor.
00:17Thank you, Nima. Thank you very much for inviting.
00:21Let's get started, Professor, with what has happened at the beginning of this attack, Israeli attack in Iran.
00:30Many people were so much confused about what has happened to Iranian air defense system.
00:36Why have they not been prepared to respond to Israel?
00:43What is your take on how it has started in Iran?
00:50Well, contrary to what many in the West are repeating, Iran was on alert for an attack.
01:07But Iran has many enemies.
01:13The Israeli regime has a huge coalition behind it, greater, larger than the coalition that's behind Ukraine, for example.
01:21And in our region, we have many actors that are working for the Israeli regime.
01:30And some of them I don't want to name, but some of these drones come from Syria.
01:39Some of them are coming from parts of Iraq.
01:41And there are other issues, apparently, that I don't want to get into.
01:50But the fact is that countries in the Persian Gulf region, they have been allowing the United States to use these bases to help the Israeli regime carry out the attacks.
02:04And to defend the Israeli regime against Iran's counterattacks.
02:13This is a fact.
02:15They've been doing it in the past with regards to Yemen.
02:22And now they're doing it against Iran.
02:24U.S. radar stations in Turkey are also being used.
02:30And airspace in Jordan is being used by the Americans, the British and Israelis to down Iranian drones.
02:41And the Iraqi airspace is also being used by this coalition of the genocidal.
02:51So, Iran is up against a very formidable coalition with multiple layers.
03:02But I think Iran has shown extraordinary competence in that it regrouped literally within hours.
03:10And you saw after a few hours, the Iranians began firing missiles at the Israeli regime in retaliation for its atrocities across the country.
03:24Just a couple of hours ago, 10 kids were murdered in an apartment building in Tehran, in Narmak, in the east of Tehran.
03:34Something that the Western media doesn't really care about, because they're Iranian, of course.
03:40They're Amalek.
03:41We're all Amalek.
03:42Just like the Palestinians, just like the Lebanese.
03:44And I don't want to go over all this again, because I know your audience knows how it is.
03:49But so the Iranians, within hours, they began their response, despite the fact that senior commanders were martyred.
03:59And the Iranian air defenses, after a few hours also of great difficulty, they began to function more with greater power.
04:16And now it's become much more difficult for the Israeli regime to carry out its criminal acts.
04:22You saw how Netanyahu was saying he's going to burn Tehran, or his minister of genocide, said he's going to murder, burn Tehran.
04:33Just like, you know, these are monsters.
04:39No sane person talks like that.
04:41No normal person talks like that.
04:43Burn Tehran.
04:45Burn Gaza.
04:46Burn Lebanon.
04:46These are maniacs, evil maniacs, that have the full support of the West.
04:52And that says a lot about Western leaders, Western elites, Western legacy media journalists, Western think tankers.
04:59They all see this.
05:00But for them, they portray it as somehow normal.
05:02And they're constantly trying to justify everything that the Israeli regime does.
05:06I was on Sky News, and it sounded like a dystopian, authoritarian regime with lipstick on it.
05:21They try to, you know, they try to make it seem like it's normal, but their language is abnormal, their behavior is abnormal, their narrative is abnormal.
05:35And they're fully supportive of the Israeli regime with, you know, they say, when is Iran going to come back to the negotiating table?
05:43As if, as if it was Iran that left the negotiating table, it was Americans who were deceitful and carried out an assault.
05:51So, Western media is against us.
05:59Social media, of course, is weaponized against us.
06:03There's a lot of misinformation and disinformation out there.
06:06A lot of doctored photos.
06:08A lot of AI clips.
06:11A lot of clips that have nothing to do with Iran.
06:13And some of the Israeli clips that are out, obviously, are very misleading.
06:18For example, some of the airstrikes that the Israelis carried out, and which they showed footage of, they bombed, for example, missile launchers.
06:30But there are no secondary explosions.
06:32And I've tweeted this so that people could see it.
06:36These are Israeli clips.
06:40There are no secondary explosions.
06:41Why?
06:42Because these are all decoys.
06:44The Iranians have decoys all over the place.
06:46So the Israelis are constantly bombing decoys, whether they are decoys for radar or missiles.
06:53And they're putting it out as great successes.
06:57They've had much less success than people seem to think when they look up the news and social media or in Western accounts.
07:10So the tide has turned.
07:12And I think last night was a sign of that.
07:18The Israelis were supposed to burn Tehran last night.
07:22And they couldn't.
07:23They killed some people.
07:24They hit some buildings.
07:30But Tehran is very much in place.
07:34It's Tehran.
07:35It hasn't been burned down.
07:37But last night we saw what happened to Tel Aviv.
07:40And we saw what happened to key installations in Israel.
07:43And this will continue.
07:45And it will get worse for the regime.
07:47And my advice is for Zionists to leave.
07:51It's time for them to go back home to wherever they came from and live a peaceful life and try to get some sort of re-education so that they can view other human beings as equal.
08:09But in any case, the tide has turned.
08:12And Iran is going to make sure that when the fighting stops, it has the upper hand.
08:22Looking at the way that they started this attack on Iran and compared to what it happened with Russia and these drones that were carried by trucks, containers in Russia, do you see some sort of similarity between what has happened in Russia and what happened in Iran?
08:47Absolutely.
08:49Absolutely.
08:51The same people who planned the attack in Russia are the same people who planned the attacks in Iran.
09:01It's the exact same.
09:02This is not a coincidence.
09:05There's no coincidence.
09:07It's clear that these are the same people.
09:10This was the same type of plan.
09:13And fortunately, one reason why they've slowed down the Internet and I had to come here.
09:18I've come all the way.
09:19I found a place across town so I could do this interview with you, Nima.
09:23You owe me one.
09:24You have to buy me an ice cream one day.
09:29I came all the way across town for this.
09:31But they slowed down the Internet in order to, for security reasons.
09:45That's why I've had trouble with interviews.
09:47And the interesting thing is that those who dislike me, who call me the mouthpiece of the regime, I have to search, go across town to find a place where I can do an interview with you.
10:00That was a mouthpiece.
10:01I should have good Internet.
10:03But anyway, so they've slowed down the Internet in order to deal with these drones.
10:10But we are seeing the effect.
10:15We see a sharp decrease in the drone attacks and far greater effectiveness of anti-aircraft and anti-drone units.
10:30The regime is still killing people.
10:32The regime is still bombing.
10:34It has full Western support.
10:36Qatar, the Emirates, Bahrain, all of them are complicit.
10:41Their bases are still being used.
10:43American bases are being used to help the Israeli regime.
10:47They're all a part of this.
10:50But the tide has turned.
10:52And I'm very confident about the days and weeks ahead.
10:56And Iran is prepared for a very long fight.
10:59And Iran will make sure that by the time this ends, that the Israeli regime regrets carrying out this assault on this sudden assault on the Iranian people.
11:19This unprovoked assault.
11:21And it's very interesting that I was on Sky News.
11:26And the lady, she was apparently from Afghanistan or somewhere.
11:31She said she was like speaking about this, how the Israelis were so professional on day one.
11:39It was a sudden attack.
11:41And they hit many of these people in their homes, in their apartment buildings.
11:46They killed them along with their neighbors and their families and their grandchildren and the children of the neighbors.
11:57And the West has really become despicable, these people in the Western media.
12:05How absurd.
12:06They tried to pretend that and they say that Mossad has bases in Iran.
12:10They think they want to present Mossad as this heroic and sophisticated organization.
12:19No, all they did was that they hire people on WhatsApp or Telegram, pay them through Bitcoin and that sort of thing.
12:33And then they just, these people purchase on the black market or on the market tiny drones and they receive, you know, the means to create bombs or to put a bomb on the drone and kill people.
12:52It's not a military base.
12:54That can be done anywhere in the world.
12:56And what the Israeli regime is doing is creating a precedent.
13:00So from now on across the world, we're going to see just what the Ukrainians did too.
13:06You are going to see greater insecurity across the world.
13:11What we're seeing right now, Professor Miranda, is Iran has somehow found itself and they're attacking Israel.
13:20You mentioned days and weeks ahead to fight Israel.
13:24Yesterday, we've learned that the that system, air defense system of Israel is running out of missiles.
13:32And how capable, what is the estimation on the part of the Iranians on the capabilities of Israeli army?
13:42Well, you're right.
13:43The Israelis are, and the Americans, and the French, and the British, they've all come together to defend these ethno supremacist monsters.
13:55And to protect it and help it attack Iran and attack and justify attacks on Iran.
14:01And they say the Israeli regime is strong, but they have to bring in everything they have.
14:06And interestingly, they have to bring in the air defense systems that were for Ukraine, that were supposed to be helping Ukraine to help Israel.
14:18Look at what they've done to Ukraine.
14:21They use Ukraine.
14:23They destroyed Ukraine.
14:25They've ruined its future.
14:29And now they've dumped it for the sake of this genocidal, monstrous regime.
14:35And this should be a lesson for all those countries and all those people who look to the United States and these Europeans and these neocons and these Zionists for support.
14:47They will dump them in a moment if they feel that their priority lies elsewhere.
14:59They will dump them immediately.
15:00So Ukraine, after all these three and a half years of death and destruction, now they suddenly pull out their air defense capabilities for this genocidal regime.
15:12I think it's a lesson for everyone.
15:14And I think Ukrainians should look at this and rethink the catastrophe that they brought upon themselves and the catastrophe that lies ahead.
15:25But it's clear that the Americans and the Europeans are spending, and the Israeli regime are spending huge amounts of money trying to bring down Iranian drones and missiles.
15:37And Iranian drones and missiles are very inexpensive, as we discussed once upon a time.
15:43And so it's going to be a big problem.
15:49And the Americans apparently are bringing in everything they have, and so are the Europeans, to replace these emptied anti-missile and anti-drone systems that they have installed in Israel or near Israel.
16:07For example, the U.S. Navy in the Mediterranean is also bringing in ships to help defend.
16:15But it just shows how sophisticated and how competent the Iranians are, that despite everyone trying to protect this tiny monster, this monstrous entity, that Iranian missiles go right through.
16:31And they hit their targets, and they humiliate this regime.
16:37When looking at the behavior of the officials in Israel, they're trying to somehow…
16:45Benjamin Netanyahu sent a message to Iranian people.
16:48Naftali Bennett, the former prime minister of Israel, sent a message to Iranian people.
16:55Right now is the time to rise up, to go against the regime.
16:58Do you really believe that these people would believe the things that they're saying?
17:04It's somehow laughable when you look at the way they're talking.
17:07They don't know the Iranian people, in my opinion.
17:11They don't know how proud these people are to their traditions, to their culture, to their values.
17:19Do you think it would be the same if they really believe that?
17:23Is that the same case for Americans?
17:25Do they really believe what Netanyahu is advocating for?
17:28They internalize these narratives, and so do these journalists.
17:37Again, when I was on Sky News, the woman, like in 10 minutes, she and the previous guest,
17:46they said Iranian regime, regime, regime, like 20, 30 times.
17:51And she was, I think, near Tel Aviv or somewhere.
17:55They internalize this.
17:57And then, you know, the Israeli government, or they call it this, you know, the prime minister.
18:04But in Iran, it's the leadership.
18:06It's the, you know, the Ayatollah, the regime, you know, and that sort of thing.
18:11They internalize it.
18:13And they come to believe their own propaganda.
18:15But it's what Netanyahu and others think about Iran is not really any different from what you see in think tanks in the United States.
18:25And in Europe, these very respectable think tanks where they have very well-funded people in their expensive suits and ties.
18:35And they're constantly writing papers on Iran.
18:38The narrative in Washington is that the Iranian regime is about to fall, that it is corrupt, it is incompetent, that it is incapable of governing itself.
18:50It is deeply despised.
18:51That's what this, again, this, you know, that's what they're saying in mainstream media, too, all the time.
18:58The regime is despised.
18:59Because, you know, when General Soleimani was martyred, murdered by the Americans, you saw millions of people come to the streets of Tehran and millions of people come to the streets in other cities.
19:11Or when President Raisi passed away.
19:16But they won't, that just doesn't compute for them.
19:21They cannot comprehend that because it doesn't fit in their narrative.
19:24So, you know, they see the information, but they reject it.
19:30That's how these are, they bring them to the streets or, you know, this, they'll justify it or they'll just ignore it.
19:37So all these think tanks in the United States and Europe, which feed information to the government, they're saying the same thing.
19:45And they've been miscalculating for decades.
19:48China, the economy is collapsing.
19:50How long have we been hearing that for 20 years now, that the Chinese economy is about to collapse?
19:56Their economies are collapsing, but the Chinese economy hasn't collapsed.
20:00Russia is a gas station with nuclear weapons, right?
20:05That's what they said.
20:07That's the narrative.
20:08And, of course, Iran is what they claim it to be.
20:13So they will miscalculate.
20:17I don't think there's anyone on this planet more despised than Saddam Hussein in the 1990s in Iran.
20:28He's the person who is hated by everyone.
20:34Netanyahu is the Saddam Hussein of Iran.
20:37He is the new Saddam Hussein, and Trump is the new Saddam Hussein of Iran.
20:43No one in Iran.
20:46If Netanyahu says one thing, then people in Iran will do the opposite.
20:53But this, of course, again, does not fit into the narrative of Iran.
20:58So they'll continue to say this sort of nonsense.
21:00We know that the war in Ukraine has transferred the Russian army from a defensive position to be prepared for any sort of offensive if it needs to go on with that plan.
21:17Do you think that this attack, this was somehow a historic attack?
21:23Because the Iranians never attacked in the last 250 years.
21:29They have never attacked anybody, any country.
21:33And they are getting attacked, as you mentioned, during the Saddam.
21:36They attacked by Saddam Hussein and Iraq, which was supported by the same people who are now supporting Israel in their attack on Iran.
21:47Do you think that would change the mindset, the doctrine of Iranian army in days and years and months ahead?
21:57I think everything has changed and Iran will be very different in the future in its dealings with the West and with its adversaries.
22:14This was a game changer.
22:16It has shown that the West is deceit.
22:20Everything about it is deceit.
22:22It doesn't matter if it's Biden or Trump.
22:25The same people who despise Trump, when it comes to Iran, they'll push the same narrative.
22:31They'll support the United States or the Israeli regime, whether it's Democratic or Republican.
22:38They will kill kids.
22:39They will slaughter Iranians.
22:41They will...
22:42I think this was a lesson learned for many Iranians, especially the upper middle class, the more wealthy, the more so-called liberal,
22:53who continued to believe that somehow the West was a force for good or wanted to believe so, or at least pretended that that was the case.
23:06But for the rest of Iranians, overwhelmingly, who have always been highly skeptical and critical of the United States,
23:15is this just further cements that skepticism.
23:19And I think for now on, Iran is going to take care that the United States never again is able to infiltrate,
23:28or the IAA is never again going to be able to serve as a tool or be used as a tool in order to gain information from Iran
23:42or to undermine Iran or to put pressure on Iran.
23:49Things are going to be different in the future.
23:51And Iran's dealings, I think, with countries that have associated themselves with the United States will be different in the future.
24:01And I think it's very important for the Emirates to rethink its policies.
24:07It's very important for Qatar to stop supporting the United States this way.
24:15It's very important for the regime in Bahrain and Kuwait and so on to be very careful about their conduct.
24:23Because ordinary Iranians see them as complicit.
24:29And the pressure will build on the government to respond.
24:33People are being killed.
24:34And so the dictator in Qatar, he has to make calculations about his own future.
24:44He has to be very careful.
24:46So do the dictators in all of these tiny regimes.
24:50They have to be very careful.
24:52People in Iran have been killed.
24:55They are seen as complicit by many ordinary Iranians.
24:59It is only because the state wants to preserve stability in the region and in the Persian Gulf in particular, for the sake of humanity, for the sake of everyone, that it has been behaving in a manner that we see.
25:21But the pressure is building.
25:23So they have to rethink everything very swiftly.
25:29Do you think that this is the end for Netanyahu and his administration?
25:36For such a long time, they've been somehow manipulating each and everybody on this planet to go against Iran.
25:45This is the final goal of Netanyahu.
25:47This is the end game of Netanyahu.
25:49How do you find it?
25:52Yes.
25:53The only real enemy of Netanyahu.
25:56Remember, as we speak, as we speak, all of the countries in this region are doing business with the regime.
26:08They're trading.
26:09They're selling fuel.
26:11Their ships are going there.
26:13They're purchasing goods from Israel.
26:15They have many have embassies.
26:16As this Holocaust has been going on.
26:21The complicity is extraordinary.
26:23And the reason is, of course, because of the deep influence of the United States and the West in these countries across the board.
26:31But I think that Netanyahu has single-handedly destroyed Israel.
26:39The last 20, over 20 months, the last 20 months in particular, have been one catastrophic mistake after another.
26:50One miscalculation after another.
26:52He, as I said once or twice before in your program, he, being the genocidal maniac he is, and his people, they should have, I mean, if I was a sinister person like them, God forbid, I would have said to slaughter for a couple of months,
27:11He keeps spreading the myth about beheaded babies and rapes and all that, all those lies, and that the Palestinians killed all those Israelis, and we now know that the Israelis killed hundreds of their own people.
27:26But the Western media hid this, and they repeated all those narratives in order to help the Israelis carry out genocide.
27:34They're all a part of this.
27:35They all have blood on their hands.
27:36But he should have, if he was, if he wanted to be smart, he would have done this for a couple of months, pounded Gaza, and then said, I won.
27:46Did a prisoner exchange, and then he would have said, I won.
27:49But he continued to slaughter and slaughter, and people's eyes across the world began to open.
27:55They began to see the images on their screens, day and night.
28:00And then he wouldn't stop at Gaza.
28:01He initiated war on Lebanon, destroying thousands of homes.
28:07When I was in Beirut, I recall how Western journalists in Beirut, an Al Jazeera journalist, she was, as she was reporting on the first day, she was attacking Iran, saying how, like, they were bombing Beirut, literally.
28:24And Al Jazeera English, their reporter, was saying that, yes, Iran violates human rights, Iran.
28:33And I protested afterwards on air.
28:37But that, you know, and that's Al Jazeera.
28:39And then the others, you know, they were constantly saying these are Hezbollah in Beirut, reporting from Beirut.
28:45They were saying the Israelis are bombing Hezbollah targets, Hezbollah strongholds, whereas they knew because their own drivers, their own fixers, their own producers were Lebanese.
28:58Many of them lived in those neighborhoods.
29:00They knew that these were ordinary apartment buildings with ordinary people.
29:04They knew.
29:04But they would say strongholds because they wanted to justify what the regime was doing.
29:09But people across the world saw through this.
29:11They saw a genocidal regime that's destroying Gaza, that is expanding its ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, that's carrying out genocidal attacks on Lebanon, and which is alongside the Americans and other NATO members and client regimes, undermining Syria through ISIS and al-Qaeda.
29:34Many people who before didn't know about any of these, about the Israeli regime, even on Syria, many people who didn't know in the past now know Netanyahu has opened the eyes of the world through his escalations.
29:50And what he's doing against Iran further opens the eyes of people across the world, regardless of what CNN or NBC or Fox News or Sky News or France 24 or Deutsche Welle or any of these outlets, no matter what they say, whether it's Time Magazine or The New York Times or The Guardian, people see right through it.
30:15And those who, of course, who will, of course, will, of course, will, of course, willfully close their eyes, of course, they'll keep their eyes closed.
30:23But people have woken up.
30:25So I think that Netanyahu has destroyed Israel.
30:27He's destroyed the regime.
30:29He's exposed the regime for what it really is.
30:33And now people like me, I have nothing to say.
30:37So many young people are saying it better than me.
30:39When I watch young people in Europe, in the United States, young Jews speak out against this fanatical regime, I just, I'm so impressed by their eloquence, by their dignity, by their honor, by their morality, by their courage.
31:03So many, it's changed, the world has changed.
31:06So I think, yes, this is the final nail in the coffin, because Netanyahu will not win against Iran.
31:14Iran is determined to make sure the regime regrets what it did.
31:20It is determined.
31:22Because we cannot appease the enemy.
31:26We cannot let them feel that they got something out of this.
31:30We have to make sure that they feel that this was a failure, so that it will never happen again.
31:38Just like with Saddam Hussein, we had to make sure that it would never happen again.
31:44So Iran is going to push until ultimately the regime has to back down.
31:50And I am confident that the regime will have to back down.
31:54Already we're seeing signs of this.
31:56But the Iranians have a lot of work to do still.
31:59But already we're seeing signs of this.
32:02Because you see that the French president is contacting Iran.
32:06The French president who is supporting the attack.
32:09Or the Qatar Amir contacts Iran.
32:14Or the Americans are sending messages through different channels to Iran.
32:19Saying we have nothing to do with this.
32:22Say it in open.
32:23Why are you saying it in private channels?
32:25So we're beginning to see how the other side is recognizing that they made a mistake.
32:35But Iran is going to reinforce that.
32:39Iran is going to make them to...
32:40This is not going to be easy, Nima.
32:42It will be tough.
32:46Because the Israeli regime has no red lines.
32:49They have zero morality.
32:51They're carrying out a genocide, a holocaust in Gaza.
32:54And by the way, Nima, all of your viewers should always keep Gaza in mind.
32:59We should not be distracted from Gaza.
33:01We should be focusing on everything.
33:05But the kids, the children of Gaza, they're continuing to starve the West and the Israeli regime.
33:11And the slaughter that the West and the Israeli regime and their allies are carrying out.
33:18This is nonstop.
33:19As the Iranian missiles strike Zionist targets, we should still be thinking about the kids who are being slaughtered in Gaza, about the ethnic cleansing being carried out in the West Bank, by the Israeli regime's crimes being carried out still in Lebanon.
33:38So, but the Iranians are...
33:41It's going to be tough.
33:43They're going to...
33:43It has no red lines, the regime.
33:45And the West has no red lines either.
33:47They're all the same.
33:47So, they're going to kill people.
33:50They're going to cause damage.
33:51They're going to strike civilian targets.
33:54They're going to strike civilian factories and businesses, which they're doing.
33:59And they'll all call them nuclear sites or weapons production sites.
34:04They bombed a car factory.
34:07So, but, you know, that's not how the West is going to report it.
34:10But I should point out that all of Iran's key assets, Nima, are deep underground.
34:17They, the buildings on the surface, on the ground, the buildings that are in open space, those are not the key assets.
34:28Everything that's important is deep underground and inaccessible to the regime and to the Americans.
34:33And the same is true with Iranian underground drone bases and missile bases.
34:41They're inaccessible and they're everywhere.
34:45And Iran has decoys all over the place.
34:48And these decoys, they're real cars.
34:51That's how it works.
34:52I don't, I don't, I don't want to go into detail, but they have a very sophisticated system.
34:58So, when the Israelis think that they're knocking out one launcher after another and one radar system after another, a lot of them are just decoys.
35:07They have had successes with radar and by murdering people.
35:13They have had successes.
35:14They have successes, but not the sort of successes that many people seem to believe.
35:20One of the, they're losing.
35:22Yeah.
35:23We know that they assassinated Iranian scientists in this attack in the initial hours of the attack in Iran.
35:32And I would wonder what, how the Iran's policy toward the communication with IAEA would change as they, as we know, they, they provide Israel with a lot of information on Iranian nuclear program, including the scientists who are involved in this program.
35:53Well, there is a big debate going on in Iran.
36:00Many people want Iran to leave the NPT.
36:03And there's no doubt that Iran's cooperation with NPT, with the, sorry, with the International Atomic Energy Agency is, is going to decrease significantly.
36:16And I think the relationship is irreparable.
36:19After all, the, the head of the organization, he refused to condemn the Israeli strikes on the nuclear program.
36:30Strikes that threatened to create an environmental catastrophe where people can die as a result of radiation leaks, hypothetically.
36:42He refused to, to condemn it.
36:46This is what we're facing.
36:49So, um, I think that, as we were saying, as we were discussing a few minutes ago, Iran's relationship with, with the West is going to change fundamentally.
37:01And it is the West that is going to have to rethink its policies towards Iran.
37:06It's the West that's going to have to come to terms with the reality that, uh, they don't have a winning hand in this conflict.
37:18And as the Israeli regime flounders, as we saw last night, and as we saw the very limited strikes that they've carried out on Iran, uh, in comparison to what the Iranians have done over the last 24, 36 hours, they're going to, while this is happening, Russia is making advances across Ukraine.
37:45And the Chinese are developing high, high, high, high, high, high tech industries, they're doing research and development, they're working on AI.
37:58And the Americans are busy bombing people and killing people and supporting racists and ethnic supremacists.
38:07So where is that going to lead the United States?
38:09Where is that going to lead Europe?
38:10I think just as Netanyahu is about to fall and, uh, he's reached the end of his rope, I think that, uh, Europe and the United States are, you are, these are all catalysts that are speeding up the decline of the Western empire, of the US empire.
38:34It's very, very evil empire.
38:39If you remember when, before this happened in all of this madness happening, we talked about Israeli attack on Iran and, you know, people who were experts, they were arguing that this would be a decapitation mission.
38:53This would be a so-called regime change mission in Iran.
38:58It seems that they somehow thought by killing the Iranian commanders, they can change everything in Iran.
39:06And because they know, I don't know how much they know about the Iranian population.
39:11As I mentioned earlier, Iranian unity is increasing drastically by these attacks and the killing of the, the, the assassination of these commanders would bring even more of these people together.
39:28And how is that going?
39:30Do you think that the way that they have been responded in the last four or five hours with the response from Iran to Israel, do you think they, they're changing their mind or they're going to double down?
39:45They're going to, you see, I don't see the United States.
39:48It seems that following the mainstream media, especially Fox news and these people who are so much hawkish about on Iran and Russia, they somehow said that the experts saying that, no, the United States is not going to go and participate in directly.
40:04We know that they're behind.
40:07But how do you see the policy?
40:09How do you see the vision?
40:10How do you see the outcome of this sort of attack?
40:13They, that they felt somehow they can do so-called regime change in Iran.
40:22You know, in the 1980s, when, after the revolution, and people have to understand that this revolution was about sovereignty,
40:33dignity about making decisions inside Iran.
40:38Iran before the revolution was a pawn.
40:43Iranian fighter jets were sent to Vietnam to be used by the Americans in their bombing campaigns.
40:54That's, you know, quite stunning.
40:5690% of apartheid South Africa's oil came from Iran during the shock.
41:01And we had effectively an Israeli embassy.
41:04And Iran was funding the Israeli regime and purchasing weapons from them and that sort of thing.
41:13After the revolution, I mean, the revolution was about expelling the Zionist regime from Iran and ending that relationship and supporting the Palestinians and ending the relationship with apartheid South Africa and the South African supremacist regimes.
41:29Like Rhodesia.
41:32And supporting the resistance in South Africa.
41:38And of course, making decisions at home.
41:41And Iran is fiercely independent.
41:42And it is a part of Iranian religious culture too.
41:45It's deeply embedded in the Iranian psyche.
41:50The prophet, his son-in-law, his grandson, Imam Hussain in Karbala, his sister.
42:00You know what Ashura is like in Iran, what Arbain is like in Iran.
42:08This notion of supporting the deprived, this idea of supporting the disenfranchised and the oppressed is very strong because of this ideological framework that exists in Iranian society.
42:29And that the role that these people have, that these heroes of history have on Iranian society is profound.
42:40So, for the United States to imagine that it's dependent, Iran is dependent on one person or another, it's nonsense.
42:49During the war with Saddam Hussein, when the country was still post-revolution, it was still relatively unstable.
42:55They killed the president.
42:57They murdered the prime minister.
42:59Back then we had a prime minister instead of a first vice president.
43:04They murdered the head of the judiciary.
43:08They murdered many leading commanders and armed forces as Saddam Hussein was invading the country.
43:15Nothing happened.
43:16After the war, the founder of the revolution, the father of the revolution passed away.
43:24The West was saying Iran would collapse and would go into civil war.
43:28The next day we had a new leader in accordance with the constitution.
43:33Iran is not dependent on individuals.
43:38So, they can kill more of our people, but it's not going to change.
43:44Nothing will change.
43:46The Islamic Republic of Iran will remain steadfast, it will grow more powerful, and it will not give up on the Palestinian people.
43:58It will not forsake the Palestinian people.
44:02Iran will continue to support the Palestinian people until they get liberation, until they're treated as human beings.
44:10And the West can do nothing about it.
44:13And the axis of resistance will continue the struggle until the Palestinian people get their full rights as equal human beings.
44:21The West does not consider Palestinians as human.
44:24They consider them as subhuman.
44:25Let's be very frank.
44:27The West supports ethno supremacists.
44:29They support this notion of a chosen people.
44:31Even those who don't even believe in religion, they support the Zionists as the chosen people somehow.
44:38Christian Zionists, this cult, claim that Christ supports this genocide.
44:43You have these people.
44:45But most Westerners, ordinary people on the streets, from all walks of life, they're awake now.
44:53They see the reality.
44:56Increasingly, they're waking up.
44:58And again, at the forefront, you see young Jews.
45:02I don't know if you saw the clip of that young woman.
45:06I think she was a Hindu at MIT who spoke out against apartheid.
45:12People from all walks of life, from different religions and races, they're all waking up.
45:18And so the world has changed.
45:23So they should not have any hope.
45:25The Israeli regime, their backers should not have any hope.
45:32Iran will be steadfast.
45:34It will remain supportive of the Palestinian people.
45:37It is strong.
45:38It is powerful.
45:40What is breaking apart is the narrative that the West has successfully been able to create for decades.
45:48And young people and older people, but mostly young people across the world are the ones who are crushing this narrative.
45:56As I said, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, men, women, people from all workers, factory workers, university students.
46:08It's quite amazing.
46:10And I think it's very encouraging.
46:14And actually, Lima, I think many of these young Jews have made such a fantastic argument over the past few months that the most anti-Semitic, whatever that means, because Palestinians are really the Semites.
46:29The Semites, most of these, for example, the Ashkenazi Jews are European.
46:34But anyway, but this anti-Semitism, if we are going to look at it from the perspective that they use the term in the West, the most anti-Semitic ideology is Zionism.
46:49Because they are doing all these atrocities, all these criminal acts in Iran, in Gaza, in Lebanon, in the West Bank, in Syria, in the name of Jews.
47:02And Jews are crying out, many, many young Jews are crying out, not in my name.
47:07So they are the real enemies of Judaism.
47:10So the two days.
47:11Professor Mahendee, before wrapping up this session, in your opinion, how long does it take for Iran to somehow make the West understanding that, the way that they started this war is not going to work for the case of Iran?
47:32Are we going to see harder attacks on Israel?
47:40Yes, I think that the Iranians are going to keep up the pressure.
47:43They're going to increase the pressure.
47:46And they're prepared for a very long war.
47:49We're prepared for a very long war.
47:52And we will do what it takes to make sure that this never happens again.
47:58And we'll make sure that the Israeli regime is so badly weakened
48:01that it will never be able to treat the Palestinian people with such impunity again.
48:08So if the regime knows what's good for it, it will seek a solution very swiftly.
48:16Time is not on its side.
48:18And Iran is determined.
48:20The Israelis and the Americans and the Europeans made a huge miscalculation.
48:25They carried out this sudden and unprovoked act of aggression and murdered innocent people,
48:31children on the streets, thrown out of their windows.
48:35Just as I said a few hours ago, 10 more children just in one building,
48:39slaughtered by Trump and Netanyahu and Whitcoff and all of those who are...
