00:00Since the assassination of Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah, focus has shifted towards
00:05Iran, the organisation's leading ally.
00:09Where in the country, anger has flowed into the streets.
00:12I'm here to show my hatred for Israel.
00:15The Iranian nation is full of rage at the crimes and massacres that are taking place.
00:20Yesterday in a statement read out on television, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei vowed
00:25to retaliate and called on its allies.
00:31It is obligatory for all Muslims to stand proudly with the people of Lebanon and Hezbollah
00:36and help them confront the usurping, cruel and evil regime.
00:41In Baghdad, Iraq, a majority Shiite country, a minute of silence was observed to pay homage
00:47to Nasrallah.
00:49But as soon as it was over, vitriol ensued.
00:57Despite this anger, experts say there is little point for Iran to go into an all-out war.
01:03There is no point because there is clearly a disproportion of force and above all, in
01:08the event of war between Israel and Iran, the United States will be forced to re-engage.
01:13A war the international community wishes to avoid.
01:16The US has joined other nations in calling for a ceasefire in Lebanon, but it has also
01:20bolstered its military presence in the region.
