00:00For disapproval, we'll just make it easier if we don't have any, uh, uh, any, any

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.
