Today, we cut through the headlines and ask: what does it really mean when Donald Trump says he's lifting sanctions on Syria? Behind the bold announcement from Riyadh lies a deeper story, one of destruction, deception, and decades of economic warfare. Before the celebrations begin, we examine who truly benefits… and who's left buried beneath the rubble. While Gaza endures unimaginable suffering and starvation, lavish deals worth billions are signed in Gulf palaces, turning tragedy into a backdrop for profit. Our report exposes the deep frustration and heartbreak felt by Palestinians as the world's attention drifts away amid ongoing violence and despair.

The loss of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah marks a seismic moment in the history of Resistance, one that brings both immeasurable sorrow and an unshakable vow to continue his path.

Before, they tried bombs. Now, they are trying economic warfare. Washington and Tel Aviv have tightened their grip on Lebanon, dictating policies from financial crackdowns to banning Iranian flights, while Beirut’s government bows without a fight.

The Islamic Revolution of Iran was not just a political upheaval; it was a turning point that redefined Resistance across the region.

After weeks of intense foreign pressure, Lebanon has formed a new government but not the one Washington and Riyadh wanted.

As we commemorate the 46th anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, we reflect on a movement that transcended borders and redefined the meaning of resistance. Led by Imam Khomeini, the Revolution became a beacon of hope for the oppressed, challenging imperialism, colonialism, and Zionism with a steadfast vision rooted in justice and dignity. We explore how this historic moment inspired a new era of defiance, uniting movements across Lebanon, Palestine, and beyond in the ongoing fight for liberation. We also turn our attention to the Revolution’s far-reaching impact on the struggle for sovereignty in West Asia. A principal instance of this influence is Syria, where the Iranian Revolution’s message of resistance continues to shape the battle against Zionism and foreign occupation. Today, despite relentless external aggression, the spirit of the Islamic Revolution remains a guiding force, fueling the determination of resistance movements in Syria and beyond.

This week, we focus on the resilience of the Palestinian resistance amid a fragile ceasefire and Israel's renewed threats of aggression.

After nearly three years of political paralysis, Lebanon finally has a president. But General Joseph Aoun’s path to Baabda was not exactly driven by popular demand. It was carved out under US and Saudi influence, with a strategic assist from Hezbollah’s parliamentary maneuvers.

From Riyadh's high-profile reception of Syria's rebranded leaders once labeled militants to the delicate dynamics of Persian Gulf Arab states engaging with a Turkish-backed government, this diplomatic pivot marks a significant shift in regional alliances.

In a region marked by conflict and shifting alliances, Yemen has emerged as an unexpected yet formidable player in the resistance against Israeli aggression.

In the face of escalating tensions across the region, Yemen's Sanaa forces have taken bold steps, launching coordinated military operations against Zionist Israel in retaliation for recent aggression.

This week, we delve into the aftermath of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, a legitimate act of resistance that Israel manipulated to further its regional agenda.

This week, we explore the dramatic collapse of Bashar al-Assad, a turning point that has left Syria fragmented and under the control of armed groups, now shaping the future of the nation.

This week, we will delve into the complex dynamics of Lebanon's latest confrontation with Zionist Israel, examining how Hezbollah's resilience reshaped the battlefield and left its adversaries grappling with unfulfilled objectives.

This program is an interview with Dr. Ibrahim Mousawi, a Lebanese lawmaker affiliated with Hezbollah. He sheds light on Hezbollah's recent victory against Israel by imposing the ceasefire.

Tonight, the veil of diplomacy unravels. Just days after US envoy Amos Hochstein left Beirut, Zionist Israel unleashed a deadly airstrike on a bustling neighborhood in the heart of the capital. Was this massacre another calculated move under the cover of so-called mediation, or is Hochstein enabling Zionist Israel's unchecked aggression? Also, on November 20, a brutal Israeli entity airstrike in Palmyra, Syria, claimed the lives of 36 people and injured over 50, many critically. This deadly assault, carried out in broad daylight, targeted residential areas and military positions, causing widespread devastation. With the attack originating from the US base at Al-Tanf, the strike highlights the ongoing escalation in Syria, where the US and Israeli entity interests continue to shape the conflict's deadly dynamics.

The US-Israeli maneuver has reached a critical point, with Lebanon facing a one-sided ceasefire agreement designed to force its submission.

MidEaStream explores a dramatic shift in Israeli politics as Prime Minister Netanyahu dismisses War Minister Yoav Gallant, raising urgent questions about the timing and motivations behind the move. We'll examine how this bold decision could reshape the trajectory of these conflicts and what it reveals about Netanyahu's quest for power. Also, as tensions escalate across Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, with US support unwaveringly behind the Israeli occupation, the election of Donald Trump as president promises to impact the region's future significantly. Despite his rhetoric of ending wars, Trump's first term deepened US-Zionist ties, fueling conflict rather than paving the way for peace.

An Israeli newspaper reported that despite deploying over 50,000 troops in southern Lebanon, the Israeli military has yet to "capture even a single village." Yedioth Ahronoth noted that after a month of operations involving five divisions, three times the force used in the 2006 war, Zionist "Israel" has failed to secure any foothold in the area. We also delve into the pivotal shift within Hezbollah's leadership amid a turbulent battlefield reality. Following the assassination of Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Sheikh Naim Qassem has stepped in, reaffirming the resistance's core principles and pushing back against Israeli entity claims of "victory" and political change. His first address highlights Hezbollah's resilience, challenging Netanyahu's narrative and signaling a new phase in the ongoing confrontation.

Israel is currently grappling with escalating losses on the Gaza and Lebanese fronts, where intense resistance from Hezbollah has strained its military effectiveness.

Yahya Sinwar, the head of the political bureau of Hamas, was martyred after bringing the Israeli entity to its knees during what is regarded as the most significant operation in its history – Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

Hezbollah's recent strike on the covert Golani Brigade headquarters in Haifa has raised questions about the group's intelligence and surveillance capabilities. The operation's precision has exposed vulnerabilities in Zionist Israel's security apparatus. Tonight, we explore how Hezbollah's strategies are redefining the balance of power in this ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, in recent days, Hezbollah has escalated its military engagements, launching significant rocket attacks on key Israeli entity cities and directly confronting enemy troops. This surge in hostilities has resulted in heavy casualties for the Israeli occupation forces, compelling them to stretch their military operations across a 100-kilometer front. As the conflict unfolds, we'll examine the strategic implications and fierce resistance that characterize this unprecedented escalation.

All eyes are on the escalating tension surrounding UNIFIL's presence in southern Lebanon. With Zionist Israel's deliberate targeting of peacekeepers and its push for a new UN resolution to replace them with a multinational force, the stakes are higher than ever. But is this about security, or is it a desperate attempt by Zionist Israel to hide its failures on the battlefield? We will also shed light on the media's role in shaping narratives, especially during times of crisis. MTV Lebanon is one of many other Arab petrodollars broadcasting channels, which has outpaced even the Israeli enemy's media in not just spreading disinformation but actively inciting violence against displaced civilians.

In the wake of last year's surprise attack on October 7, the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation has reshaped the landscape of resistance in the region. This episode of the show explores the profound impacts of this confrontation on the Palestinian struggle and the broader implications for regional dynamics. In light of the recent escalation in hostilities, particularly the Israeli entity's airstrikes targeting Hezbollah's leadership, the resilience of the Lebanese resistance has come to the forefront. As the region grapples with shifting power dynamics, the show delves into how Hezbollah has successfully thwarted invasion attempts despite facing significant losses within its top command structure.

The Israeli enemy's decision to proceed with its escalation plan against Lebanon is no longer solely tied to its own agendas. Over the past hours, it has become clear that the 48-hour aerial campaign, during which it carried out more than 900 strikes against what it claimed were 2,000 targets in the South and the Bekaa, has not resulted in a decrease in the number of rockets targeting northern occupied Palestine. In fact, Hezbollah expanded its targeting range deeper all the way to Tel Aviv, albeit remaining limited to military targets.

No one in the world needs further proof that the Zionist enemy no longer respects any rules of engagement, openly declaring its readiness to commit any act of terrorism to achieve its goals.

The recent Jordanian parliamentary elections marked a pivotal moment in the country's political landscape, with the Muslim Brotherhood achieving unprecedented success amidst a backdrop of economic decline and heightened security tensions.

If we apply the general principles of negotiation at halting the war on Gaza, we will uncover numerous structural flaws.

After Operation Al-Aqsa Storm delivered a strategic blow to Zionist-Israeli "national security," the enemy launched a campaign of genocide, aiming to shift regional power and resume the forced displacement in the West Bank.

Israeli entity reports differ on the outcome of the Cairo meeting held last week between the Zionist Israelis, Egyptians, and Americans. However, what is certain is that the Americans have once again brought up the issue of the "Philadelphi Corridor" and the Rafah crossing for discussion. Reports suggest that an agreement may be in the works, allowing for a limited Israeli occupation presence in the corridor, but only during the initial phase of the truce. Something the resistance has so far refused. As Israel stands on edge, anticipating the responses from Iran and Hezbollah, we'll explore the underlying motives behind its aggressive stance and the existential fears driving its policies. Here is a report that uncovers the complex interplay of strategy, anxiety, and potential repercussions shaping the region's future.

About a week after the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, the movement surprised the world by selecting Yahya Sinwar as his successor.

This episode of MidEastream discusses the Israeli assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah senior commander Fuad Shukr and the revenge promised by the Resistance Front to avenge these assassinations.

After nine months of war on Gaza, it has been indicated that the strategies of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu have not and will not achieve any of Israel's "goals" as Washington continues to support him militarily. Meanwhile, some in the US called for a Gaza ceasefire, preventing forced displacement and holding accountable those responsible for war crimes. However, these vague statements do little to address the core issues. Arab Normalizing Regimes did nothing!

Just as Hezbollah’s aerial performance raises more difficult questions inside Zionist Israel, the skeptical and questioning inquiries about the effectiveness of the assassination policy followed by the Israeli occupation security leadership do not cease.

The state and government in Iran have proven that they operate within an institutional framework, striving for a strong state with influence beyond its borders and the ability to adapt to its interests. Will President Pezeshkian bring about radical changes? Meanwhile, forty-six thousand Israeli businesses have been forced to shut as a result of the ongoing war and its devastating effect on the economy, Hebrew newspaper Maariv reported on 10 July, referring to Israel as a "country in collapse."

Throughout last week, Hebrew media intermittently announced 'bad news' and 'difficult incidents' in various areas of the north due to a series of intense retaliatory operations by Hezbollah in response to the assassination of resistance commander Mohamad Nasser Abu Naamah.

Without downplaying the importance of the roles played by all parties in the Axis of Resistance in providing military support and assistance to the Palestinian Resistance currently defending Gaza in a genocidal war by Zionist Israel, it can be said that the role of Hezbollah, in particular, was decisive in determining the course of the conflict in this particular round. But what is the prospect of an all-out war between Hezbollah and the Zionist occupation army? Meanwhile, in the contentious debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden regarding Palestine, contrasting visions and policies emerged that underscored deep-seated divisions in American foreign policy. The debate illuminated how different leadership styles and priorities shape America's role in the Israeli-Palestinian war, as Biden is complicit in genocide and Trump thinks Biden did not do enough to help Zionist Israel kill more Palestinians.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's warnings and threats have placed Cyprus at the forefront of regional and international calculations due to its strategically sensitive location in the Eastern Mediterranean. In Cyprus, there are two British bases, Dhekelia and Akrotiri, which France and America utilize, as well as the Zionist entity, which signed several military and intelligence cooperation agreements with the Greek Cypriots many years ago. Meanwhile, the "Al-Aqsa Flood" outstanding operation has plunged the region into a state of uncertainty, with Zionist Israel possibly unaware of the outcomes and repercussions of the ongoing confrontation. However, ideological orientations and visions based on the belief that the solution lies in resolving the conflict rather than settling it make the conflict equation closer to zero-sum, suggesting that a comprehensive confrontation is inevitable.

On June 7, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres informed Zionist Israel's UN ambassador Gilad Erdan that Israeli forces would be named in the body's annual report, which names and shames those that harm children. This would place the Israeli regime on an infamous UN blacklist that includes the likes of ISIS and al-Qaeda. Meanwhile, Israeli entity politician Benny Gantz, a key member of the regime's war cabinet, quit the regime on Sunday, June 9, over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the war in Gaza. The resignation dealt a blow to the appearance of unity that Netanyahu was able to marshal at the start of the genocidal war and exposed the divisions at the top of the Israeli entity's political structure over the future of the war and its aftermath.

The Iron Dome is no longer effective for Israel in facing Hezbollah's rockets. This was confirmed by the Israeli media, backed by Israeli regime officials, who revealed intolerable heavy losses due to Hezbollah's destruction of Iron Dome platforms. Meanwhile, with the escalation of Sana'a's naval attacks in all areas of operations to the highest levels in recent days, the Yemeni armed forces announced on Thursday that they carried out their first two joint operations with the "Islamic Resistance in Iraq" against the port of Haifa in occupied Palestine. The first of which targeted two ships carrying military equipment in the port of Haifa, and the second targeted a ship that violated the entry ban into the mentioned port.

Since Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the war cabinet he formed failed to achieve any of the agreed-upon objectives in their genocide in Gaza, cracks have begun to reappear in the body of the Israeli entity settler society under the influence of several factors on top of which is Netanyahu's incompetence.

The Gaza Strip, with its current geographic shape and demographic composition, along with the conditions within it, emerged in the aftermath of the 1948 Nakba when Zionist Israel founded their illegal entity and occupied a vast majority (78%) of historic Palestine's territory. Today, 76 years later, a much bigger Nakba that amounts to genocide has struck the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank and has effectively shaken the world order as we know it. Our guest on this edition of the program is Sheikh Maher Hammoud. He is a Lebanese Sunni religious scholar and the imam of Al-Quds Mosque in Sidon. He is also the Secretary-General of the Union of Resistance Scholars. He has always affirmed that Gaza will come out victorious, and everyone will see with certainty that the resistance has triumphed and revived the dignity of all Arabs, Muslims and free peoples of the world, just as it did in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. Press TV talks to his eminence today as we remember Nakba 1948 while witnessing on live television a genocide unfolding in Gaza over the past 220 days.

Resistance and Liberation Day in Lebanon is a vibrant celebration in the hearts of the Lebanese after the defeat of the Israeli occupation in much of the land in southern Lebanon. By this year, the time since the liberation of southern Lebanon exceeds the time of its occupation by 2 years: 24 years of occupation matched by 22 years of liberation. The last Israeli soldier was expelled from our land under the pressure of resistance strikes without any negotiations, political entitlements, concessions, or conditions, and in the times of genocide, this day gained an entirely new meaning.

In this episode of Mideastream, we examine the legacy of President Ebrahim Raeisi.

The recent letter from Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, addressed to youth and students in American universities, has captured significant attention from international media, including outlets from both Arab and Western countries. But how did the American students receive it? Meanwhile, Yemen's Ansarullah struck the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Nimitz-class aircraft carrier with an anti-ship ballistic missile in the Red Sea in response to US-British aggression and airstrikes on Yemen, which resulted in the martyrdom and injury of 58 citizens in the capital, Sana'a, and the provinces of Hodeidah, and Taiz.
