0:08
world welcome to the special program as
0:11
the war on Gaza continues to escalate
0:13
the president of the Islamic Republic of
0:15
Iran Ibrahim talks to
0:25
alaz president Ibrahim RI thank you for
0:27
talking to Al jaaz at the outset
0:30
straight to the war on Gaza as it nears
0:32
almost an entire month and as the
0:34
president of the Islamic Republic of
0:36
Iran how do you interpret what is taking
0:38
place in Gaza at all
0:46
levels in the name of Allah Almighty at
0:50
the very beginning I'd like to salute
0:54
all the viewers and wishing them success
0:58
the news in our region is not good
1:01
enough and it hurts anyone whatever his
1:05
religion is anyone with conscience what
1:09
we see in the region must be a trigger
1:13
to everyone who have thought and uh who
1:17
has
1:18
opinion killing of women and children
1:22
are supported by the United States and
1:24
some European countries we can say that
1:27
the world peoples in the world and are
1:31
in one side and the US Administration
1:33
and some other European countries with
1:35
the Zionist regime is on another side
1:39
concentration on this matter is quite
1:41
important in order to know why this zist
1:45
regime is committing the massacres
1:46
against the Palestinian people the ones
1:49
who live in their homes on their land
1:52
those who resist and they are still
1:54
resilient and are ready to die for the
1:57
cause to be
1:58
martyrs these zist regime is not fair
2:02
against against the Palestinians for 75
2:05
years or more the Zionist regime killed
2:08
a lot of Palestinians put them in prison
2:11
tortured them and took and confiscated
2:14
the land and the
2:15
houses the Palestinian cause shows the
2:20
unfairness imposed by the iselis regime
2:23
on the Palestinian people and the
2:25
peoples of the
2:27
region does the Z regime succeed to lead
2:32
the Palestinian to surrender no what
2:36
happened during the alaka flood is the
2:40
result of year of torture and unfairness
2:43
they resist and they defend Al AA mosque
2:47
they were put in prison every day we
2:50
have a Marty or martys and every day
2:53
house is demolished and the result this
2:56
anger and rage will turn into a
2:58
resistance move movement and Al AA flood
3:02
the Zionist regime is fake and Against
3:05
Humanity the United States of America
3:08
that claims commitment to the human
3:09
rights cannot justify this torture this
3:13
unfairness cannot justify they are
3:16
providing the zus regime with weapons we
3:20
can understand from the resilience of
3:22
the Palestinian people is that they are
3:24
uh resistant and they are strong at the
3:26
same time the Palestinian people as the
3:29
cribe today is a people who is capable
3:33
and able but they are not treating
3:35
fairly and the resistance and the
3:38
Palestinian people will succeed such a
3:40
resistance such a will will lead
3:43
undoubtedly to the victory War today is
3:46
the war of Wills there is the will of
3:49
the people the will who is treat being
3:51
treated unfairly under the unfairness of
3:54
Israel and the United States and there
3:56
are the will of the uh settlers and the
4:00
will of unfairness in represented in
4:03
Israel America and some other European
4:06
countries in this war there is no doubt
4:09
that the Iron Will of the Palestinians
4:11
will win and the future will be for
4:14
Palestine and the
4:21
Palestinians Israel considers Iran as a
4:24
partner with Hamas and the resistance
4:25
from a historical perspective do you
4:28
consider yourself I mean Iran a partner
4:30
with the Palestinian resistance namely
4:32
with the events on October 7th known as
4:34
the alaxa storm
4:43
operation the forces of the resistance
4:46
are from inside the Palestinian people
4:49
from inside Lebanon or any other place
4:52
in the region they are youth and people
4:54
who are get fed and sick of the
4:57
unfairness the resistance in
5:00
Palestine is a group of people from
5:03
within the Palestinian people they are
5:06
Weare enough they are aware of the
5:08
situation and they want to defend their
5:10
people and their land the defense is
5:13
legitimate and we support such a
5:15
legitimate defense they defend their
5:19
people their land and their rights we
5:22
have stressed so many times that we
5:24
support the Palestinian resistance
5:26
because they are trying to restore the
5:29
rights of of the Palestinians if the
5:31
resistance forces in Gaza are support by
5:35
Iran yes this has been confirmed so many
5:38
times from our side and Imam Ali said
5:43
every
5:45
unfair is
5:47
torture and the unfairness and the
5:50
torture will come to an end end of the
5:54
day this unfairness will go away and
5:59
what will stay is the right they cannot
6:03
ignore forever the right of the
6:05
Palestinian people Iran is a defender of
6:09
the Palestinian resistance against the
6:11
tortur and the unfairness people but if
6:14
you mean if the resistance in any place
6:18
remove is this due to a command or an
6:21
order from the Iran they are free to
6:25
take their decisions and to do their
6:27
things and the answer is no the
6:30
resistance adopt the decisions that suit
6:33
them and they are pre they are doing
6:36
their decisions making their decisions
6:38
executing their decisions according to
6:40
their benefit and according to their
6:42
understanding and then it's up to them
6:45
as announced all over the place the
6:48
resistance in Palestine the resistance
6:50
other places in the region are supported
6:53
by us we support them but the decisions
6:57
are theirs and the action is there this
7:01
will be the situation today and in the
7:11
future Iran represented by its foreign
7:14
minister initiated its active diplomacy
7:16
making efforts at a broader level with
7:18
the Arab countries and the Muslim states
7:20
with the aim of a unified regional
7:22
position calling for a ceasefire
7:24
delivery of relief Aid opening of border
7:26
crossings and you received several calls
7:28
from the lead of Arab and Muslim
7:30
countries within the context of these
7:32
diplomatic Endeavors you also
7:34
communicated with the Amir of qat how
7:36
these efforts bearing any
7:49
fruit the Palestinian issue is the issue
7:52
of the Islamic world the first issue of
7:54
the Islamic World liberating Jerusalem
7:58
and liberating
8:00
are the most important issues in the
8:02
mind of the Muslim World our relations
8:05
with the Muslim countries Muslim
8:07
presidents Muslim foreign ministers is
8:10
to cooperate together regarding this
8:13
very important matter the Palestinian
8:15
issue is a necessity the war the recent
8:20
War this current War at the beginning we
8:22
had contacts in order to Gap uh the
8:26
different uh views and today it's
8:30
undoubtedly it's quite known and quite
8:32
understood by everyone that we need to
8:34
have a ceasefire and to stop the blocade
8:37
and Siege against Gaza everyone is
8:39
interested in giving Gaza the
8:42
humanitarian re that they need this is
8:46
why the cooperation must be there to
8:49
reach a Seas fire as soon as we can this
8:52
can be only done through negotiations
8:55
and consult consultations we all agreed
8:58
about that and this must be done very
9:01
quickly on the other hand the United
9:04
States is one of the parties that are a
9:07
sort of an obstacle to this Seas fire
9:09
some other European countries as well
9:12
are an obstacle in this regard the
9:14
United Nation General Assembly has
9:16
announced the voting uh for an immediate
9:20
his fire the entire world has voted for
9:24
that except certain countries this means
9:27
that the world the peoples this world
9:30
are in bad need to have this SE fire
9:33
they are for this fire when the US and
9:36
some European countries oppose the ceas
9:38
fire this means that the women and
9:41
children will be continuously targeted
9:44
we have seen people with no sin uh being
9:48
killed every hour this means that the US
9:51
and some European countries and theist
9:54
regime that commit these crimes they are
9:58
have their hand and there is blood in
10:01
their hand these massacres will never be
10:05
recorded under the name of the Zionist
10:08
regime but under the name of everyone
10:10
who supports the Zionist regime all
10:13
countries support the ceasefire and all
10:15
countries want to send humanitarian
10:17
relief and Aid to Palestinians but the
10:20
US is against this some European
10:23
countries that signed a join statement
10:25
with the United States must be
10:27
responsible in the of God in the eyes of
10:30
the peoples of the world in the eyes of
10:32
the history about these crimes that's
10:35
why we in our foreign policy believe in
10:40
cooperation with the neighbor countries
10:42
and with Islamic countries in the region
10:44
and outside the region to have this
10:47
unified stand and situation we have this
10:50
conest now the international world is
10:54
against the Zionist regime and we need
10:57
to continue our talks our contact to
11:00
follow everything in order for the
11:02
countries who have similar situations to
11:05
follow up the matter and to achieve the
11:08
demands of the Palestinian people the
11:10
peoples of the world and the peoples who
11:12
went to the street against the American
11:15
Injustice and the Zionist Injustice and
11:18
they are support the Palestinian people
11:20
are everywhere this must be achieved
11:27
quickly let me ask you what are the red
11:30
lines which if crossed by Israel we will
11:33
then see a different policy adopted by
11:35
Iran you must have had readed lines
11:37
concerning what has been happening in
11:39
Gaza for more than 3 weeks Israel's
11:41
indiscriminate bombardment of innocent
11:43
civilians in the
11:54
strip the events in Gaza all these
11:57
events are
11:59
red lines the zist regime is crossing
12:01
all the red lines killing more than
12:04
3,000 child is not accepted at all under
12:08
any circumstances killing women
12:10
attacking hospitals and churches and
12:13
mosques and all the medical centers is
12:17
not accepted at all how many journalists
12:19
have lost their lives because of the
12:21
crime of the Zionist regime I have heard
12:24
about the uh journalist the Palestinian
12:27
journalist who works for jazer this one
12:29
has seen by himself the killing of his
12:33
beloved ones but he is still solid and
12:38
resilient and he said that the family
12:41
lost the lives for the sake of
12:43
Palestine Allah is our
12:49
helper this is a precious thing the
12:53
young boy who
12:55
was standing over the head of his late
12:59
brother the Palestinian children women
13:03
the elderly in Palestine are believers
13:06
and are ready to lost their lives for
13:10
the sake of the territories in the land
13:12
they are solid and they are
13:14
resilient no logic can accept the
13:18
killing of this number of journalists
13:21
this is a red line everywhere in the
13:23
world journalists are doing their job
13:26
journalists are being killed by the zus
13:29
regime so as not to convey the proper
13:31
message to the entire world they knock
13:34
out the communication and the internet
13:37
so as not the people of the world cannot
13:41
understand what's going on but the
13:42
peoples of the world are now very aware
13:45
protests are against the regime
13:57
everywhere among people from the Arab
13:59
and Muslim World some criticize Iran
14:02
others blame Iran and others attack your
14:04
policy concerning that you're a regional
14:06
superpower with an agenda in the region
14:08
and the resistance is part of that if
14:11
Iran claims to be big brother to this
14:13
initiative those who criticize you say
14:15
Iran has not taken any tangible military
14:17
action to support the resistance in Gaza
14:20
are there any actions taken but not
14:21
disclosed or has the decision been left
14:23
to the Commander in charge for the right
14:27
moment
14:32
today the United States provides theous
14:36
regime with all equipment and weapons
14:39
and they asked the resistance movements
14:42
in the region not to do anything that's
14:44
why I'm saying the resistance movement
14:47
is a movement from within the people
14:50
from within the ones who want to defend
14:53
the country this question must be given
14:55
to those who criticize Iran this should
14:58
be to them the legitimate action of the
15:01
resistance in Palestine is all right
15:04
3,000 child have been killed so the
15:07
question must be given to them those who
15:10
criticize Iran or impose questions on
15:13
this regard must be asked and must ask
15:18
themselves why you in Iran defend the
15:20
peoples who want the freedom and who
15:23
defend their country and the
15:27
nation
15:30
we have announced so many times that we
15:34
support the resistance in Palestine and
15:37
in the regime the Muslim and independent
15:41
countries must defend the Palestinian
15:45
resistance and except those who are
15:47
under the control of the US and some
15:50
other European countries who have played
15:53
a role in the establishment of the
15:56
Zionist regime we need to support the
15:59
resistance financially and politically
16:02
look at the Palestinian resistance how
16:04
resilient they are how solid they are in
16:07
the face of the aggression they are very
16:10
resilient and they are very strong and
16:12
the question is valid for those who
16:16
pretend for the countries who pretend
16:18
and claim they defend the human rights
16:22
no one has ask anything from the
16:23
resistance because the resistance
16:25
Palestine have their own decision can
16:28
make their own decisions they are being
16:31
treated Injustice for 75 years one
16:36
day they have worked for the liberation
16:40
of the country and let's remember when
16:43
six Arab countries have met to face the
16:47
zist regime during The Six Day
16:51
War
16:57
America the US has sent several messages
17:00
to Iran they say you should not get
17:01
involved in this war on Gaza not to
17:04
expand the battlefield do you take these
17:06
messages as a warning or threatening
17:09
what do you say to
17:16
them what has been announced by the
17:18
United States in their
17:21
messages to the Iranians in order to
17:23
convey them to the to the resistance in
17:26
Palestine they were announced no secret
17:30
the resistance forces have their own
17:33
decisions and Iran is not giving the
17:36
resistance any orders we tell America
17:40
America has no right to give orders to
17:43
the axis of resistance these resistance
17:46
groups and movements are from within the
17:49
Palestinian Society the Lebanese Society
17:52
they can distinguish they can make a
17:54
decision and Iran is not taking any
17:57
decisions or making any decisions on
17:59
their behalf the Americans must
18:01
understand that we have informed them
18:04
clearly and openly about that it's a
18:08
matter that can cause a sort of
18:10
confusion when America says to us and to
18:14
the access of resistance don't adopt any
18:17
uh procedures or don't do any Step at
18:19
the same time America provides the zist
18:22
regime with equipment and weapons and
18:25
they expect the movement the resistance
18:28
move
18:28
not to do anything not to take an action
18:31
the zist regime is using the American
18:34
weapons against the women and the
18:36
children in front of the entire world
18:39
and America wants the resistance and the
18:41
resistance Act of resistance not to do
18:43
anything or not to launch any operation
18:46
this is not acceptable at all Iran does
18:50
not make a decision or take a decision
18:54
in front of any resistance movement the
18:56
movement have the right to make the
18:58
decisions and to take the action that's
19:01
why let me say clearly that the access
19:05
of resistance is well supported by
19:09
Iran why they don't help and support the
19:14
resistance movement who defend
19:17
legitimately the rights of the country
19:20
in Freedom we have said that in our
19:23
foreign policies we support everyone who
19:27
defend his land and his Nation the
19:31
question must be asked to the other
19:33
people why the Zionist regime in the
19:36
occupied territories is enjoying the
19:39
best support of America and the West
19:42
they are arrogant they are very arrogant
19:46
but the resistance are based on logic
19:50
and Justice and Islamic rules Islamic
19:53
ethics the most important of which is to
19:56
defend the land to defend the people to
19:59
defend the nation all the countries in
20:01
the world must support the resistance
20:03
can anyone say that those who defend
20:07
themselves must not be supported this is
20:10
my question to those parties who don't
20:13
support the resistance and why they
20:14
don't support the resistance everyone
20:17
has to defend his life his land and the
20:21
one who targets the houses of the
20:25
innocent must be questioned and must be
20:27
lab
20:33
finally Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu
20:35
made it clear that the ultimate goal of
20:36
the war on Gaza is to entirely eliminate
20:39
Hamas and reshape the new Middle East as
20:41
desired by Israel do you think Israel is
20:44
capable of achieving this goal do you
20:46
have a confrontation plan if this
20:47
materializes on the ground especially if
20:50
you support the AIS of resistance in the
20:57
region
21:05
theist regim has no ability the US has
21:09
no ability to put an end to the
21:11
resistance movement in the region the
21:13
resistance is there within the souls of
21:17
the people the resistance is there
21:19
within the souls of the Palestinian
21:22
people and uh mother who lost her child
21:26
the child who lost his mother the father
21:29
who lost his child the child who lost
21:32
his father they have seen their lives
21:36
destroyed and they are not ready to give
21:39
to let down the resistance can anyone
21:42
put an end to the resistance the
21:45
resistance is not one group or one
21:49
person the resilience to face the
21:53
Injustice is all over the place and no
21:56
one can
21:58
delete this or can put an end to this
22:02
this must be always in the in the mind
22:04
of the US and the Zionist regime they
22:08
have been treating the Palestinians in
22:11
for 75 years with complete Injustice
22:15
they thought they can put an end to the
22:17
resistance through killing the
22:18
Palestinians this will never happen they
22:21
will never be able to kill their
22:23
resistance we have seen during the last
22:26
years that the more Injustice theist
22:29
regime is the more resilient the
22:32
resistance is it's stronger than any
22:36
other time in the past they are
22:39
defending the Palestinian people and
22:42
every movement must defend the people
22:45
the world countries give the people who
22:50
defend their lands the right except the
22:52
United States of America it is now
22:55
isolated from the other world of the
22:56
countries the resist
22:58
work hard to defend their territories
23:02
and we in Iran announced in our falling
23:06
policies that we support their
23:09
resistance Iran is a strong country and
23:13
America knows that Iran the Muslim
23:17
country is better than any other time
23:19
before stronger than any other time
23:22
before we depend on Allah Almighty we
23:24
depend on our beloved people and we
23:28
depend on our strength despite the
23:32
threats there is a possibility big
23:36
possibility in Iran big potential in
23:38
Iran they know that our people have the
23:42
will every country every people who
23:45
wants Independence they must know that
23:49
Independence will be achieved through
23:52
facing Injustice America has
23:55
miscalculated things in Iraq
23:58
and other parts in the world the targets
24:01
of America America has
24:04
miscalculated in things in Iraq and in
24:08
other parts of the world and they must
24:10
understand that our strength is not only
24:14
in our weapon our strength is is also in
24:17
our logic and uh this why the peoples of
24:21
the region love Iran our weapons is not
24:26
the main reason behind our strength
24:28
America has a lot of weapons we have
24:32
weapons before the Revolution but Iran
24:36
has an option in the region to deal with
24:39
the peoples of the region because our
24:41
message is Justice and Independence and
24:44
that's why we support the resistance
24:47
movement in Palestine and in the
24:56
region Mr president thank you for
24:58
