Ali Kami the leader of Iran is said to be Gravely ill uh terminally ill um he may only have months to live um does this raise any Prospect of regime change and you know I mean surely the Iranian people must be sick of seeing their money being poured into tunnels in Lebanon and into weapons and so on rather than into bettering their own lives new report shows that Iran's leader Ayatollah Ali H is believed to be seriously he's already 85 years old and question or his successor has already created quite a battle within the Islamic
Republic the leader being ill at such an important time as Iran debates over how to respond to Israel's last attack I can now confirm that we have concluded the Israeli response to Iran's attack against Israel we conducted targeted and precise strikes on Military Targets in Iran thwarting immediate threat to the state of Israel the Israel Defense Forces has fulfilled its Mission if the regime in Iran were to make the mistake of beginning a new round of escalation we will be obligated to respond our message is clear all those who threaten the state of Israel and
seek to drag the region into wider escalation will pay a heavy price we demonstrated today that we have both the capability and the resolve to act decisively and we are prepared on offense and defense to defend the state of Israel and the people of Israel Israel's attack on Iran ended roughly 4 hours after it was started the extent of the attack and the Damage it caused remains unclear at this stage the IDF has made some comments on top of that through social media footage we can learn more about what was involved in this attack and
how much damage was cost so let's get into all that and more in today's video like always be sure to hit the like button down below it helps us out tremendously when making these videos that are not Advertiser friendly so YouTube has a habit of demonetizing and restricting our videos let's start now before we go over Iran's Supreme Leader's Health situation let's quickly go over all the new information we have on Israel's relatest strike on Iran first we have some new social media footage shown all the damage that was caused in Iran IDF commented saying
they hit around 20 targets including missile manufacturing facilities surface to a missiles and other military sites now some social media media reports do suggest that over 100 Israeli aircrafts participated in last night's attack including f-35s this would be the largest attack by Israel against Iran in history now IDF comment on this was very vague as they do not want to reveal a lot of details IDF said that dozens of Israeli Air Force aircrafts including fighter jets refuelers and spy planes participated in the strike on the other side the Iranian media hasn't reported on the extent
of the damage but they have reported that in total there were four casualties all military personnels who died during this attack here's a comment to the media from a Iranian media adviser uh I think it's quite clear that the Israeli regime is afraid and that is why it carried out or incapable and that is why it carried out such a insignificant strike uh Iran will of course retaliate and the Israeli regime will be punished because the Iranians have pointed out before that every escalation carried out by the regime uh and Every Act of aggression carried
out by the regime will have to be responded to in order to cre create deterr also here we have some clips from social media of the attack as it's going on again Israel said they avoided targeting populated areas so majority of the attacks were targeted on Military sites and not the cities where the population is so here's the clip now this is video from Tran and it shows missiles being intercepted by anti-aircraft fire early this morning the Iranian Army says that two of its soldiers were killed in the attacks the Israeli military said it hit
quote precise military targets and did not include energy infrastructure it also said that the strikes against Iran are over now the important point to point out is this strike wasn't as damaging or as as even Iran anticipated and the big reason behind that could be the fact that Israel doesn't want to escalate this war any further in fact axios is reporting that Israel actually sent a message to Iran ahead of the strikes sharing some details and warning Iranians not to respond this is pretty similar to what Iranian did back in April when they sent out
bunch of drones and missiles they sent a message through Americans and other allies of Israel to let them know that Iran was doing this attack but they didn't want to cause any big trouble or big damage so they'll let everyone know hey take down all the all the drones and all the missiles because at the end of the day it was more about sending a message than actually causing damage and here this this is definitely a little bit more than that it did cause damage but it wasn't as bad of a damage as everyone was
anticipating and on top of that and it also sets up Israel for a better strike in the future if Iran does escalate or if Iran does respond harshly because this time Israel attacked the ballistic missile making factories the military SES and air defenses so just makes life easier for Israel in the future if they do have to attack Iran again well the the Iranians say that they they reserve the right to respond whether they will or won't I mean we just don't know at this stage but look I mean I think the fact that limited
damage was sustained was intentional on the part of the israelies they they didn't want to you know kind of go all out and attack for instance nuclear research facilities or energy infrastructure facilities and they kept the the targeting to military sites and so what the Israeli Defense Forces the Israeli military say that they struck were you know missile production facilities aerial defense batteries uh surface to aair missile installations things like that designed according to Israeli military officials that I've spoken to this morning to send a message uh to Iran you know as a response to
the attack that was carried out by Iran on October the 1st uh with hundreds of missiles uh being thrown at at Israel's air defenses that's that's so it was a message it was symbolic on one hand on the other hand what the Israeli defense officials are telling me is that it was also a very practical set of strikes because it degraded Israel's sorry Iran's ability to carry out air defense um you know kind of operations and to strike Israel in the future and it sets the scene according to Israeli military officials for a future possible
strike that would allow Israel to operate more freely they say inside Iranian airspace one of the biggest geopolitical event that the whole world is waiting for is the upcoming presidential election now there are a lot of questionable trading sites that have popped up around this but you always want to be careful with anything that's not approved by proper authorities this is where today's sponsor Ki comes in KY is the first legal exchange where you can bet on any event including but not limited to elections do you you think you know who will win the presidential

up here was White House was briefed about the strikes before it happened in fact hours before it happened and on top of that White House is urging Iran to not strike back not retaliate as to not escalate the situation any further in the Middle East on top of that we also have a statement from the UK prime minister on the strike so let's watch that I want to address Israel's strikes on Military Targets in Iran this is a live situation and we're obviously monitoring it closely alongside our partners I am clear that Israel has the
right to defend itself against Iranian aggression I'm equally clear that we need to avoid further Regional escalation and urge all sides to show restraint Iran should not respond we will continue to work with allies to deescalate the situation across the region now publicly of course Iran has said they will retaliate they reserve the right to fight back retaliate against any attack on their territory they point out that they also have a right to defend themsel but we do have some reports just people talking anonymously and indirect communication that Iran does not plan to retaliate for
these strikes especially considering the damage wasn't as bad and Iran itself is in complic at times to say the least what I mean by that is early this morning New York Times put out a report saying that complicating matters are quite a battle has emerged over succession of Ayatollah Hai who's 85 and is believed to be seriously ill Mr Rizzi who was the past president of Iran who died in the helicopter crash last year since his death there's an internal disqui over the possibility that ayatollah's son Musta 55 might succeed him the powerful irgc will
have an important say in who's going to be the next leader of Iran after Ayatollah p is away here's a clip from British commander Richard Kim talking more about the situation just earlier today well knowing about um Israel's Ingenuity at dealing with people who attack their country I think the conspiracy theorists could be forgiven for thinking maybe her's been slipped some kind of drug by um but but yes I think I think things are conspiring now against Iran Iran is certainly on the back foot they've had their two main proxies Hamas and hisbah very very
badly damaged on the verge of defeat in the case of Hamas and seriously damaged in the case of isbah they've had their their their inability to defend their country against Israel again demonstrated this morning in Israel time by the 100 aircraft that were were used to carry out an attack a thousand miles from Israel's territory they were unable to do anything about it all of them returned completely intact so that does bring you to question the the benefit to Iran of the huge amounts of money that the aatar have spent on not only on their
own defense but also on their proxies and I think that the weakening of the regime that we saw uh this morning will will not be missed by the dissidents in Iran there's a huge opposition to her and his regime in Iran and and this can only encourage is that so I think we can hope that at some point maybe in the not to distant future possibly coinciding with Herman's demise I don't know we could hope to see a different regime in Iran at some point maybe in the next few months now many in the west
and even in Israel were calling for Israel to go after Iran's nuclear program that's because many experts believe that Iran is extremely close to achieving nuclear capabilities making their own nuclear bomb now this is something we have covered in the past twoo and one country that's been extremely helpful to Iran in achieving this nuclear capability goal is Russia so let's get into that report that we have done earlier the war in Ukraine has fundamentally changed the Russian Iranian relationship one country that's most scared about this is Israel we're sure we all saw what Hamas did
in Israel just a few days ago but what most people don't know is that Iran is one of the biggest supporters of Hamas providing more than 100 million to the organization annually on top of this many experts have suspected that Iran and Russia played a big role behind training and planning the attack against Israel though there is no concrete evidence for this yet lastly one of Iranian major goals is to wipe Israel off the map this all becomes a lot scary when you consider the fact that Russia has the world's largest nuclear Arsenal and Iran
has been wanting nuclear weapons for the longest time the cooperation between the two countries has reached unprecedented levels as evidenced by what you just heard but how did this happen weren't they supposed to be enemies given their turbulent history what are Russia and Iran cooking and why should Israel be scared about this so-called partnership to answer these burning questions let's unravel the recent geopolitical shift which may very well change the International Alliance landscape in the coming future but before we proceed further we have a small ask from you our enthusiastic viewers as you know this
may very well turn out to be War rated content which YouTube is not exactly a fan of so please hit the like button to show your support done now let's get on with the spicy stuff a few months into the Russian invasion of Ukraine one thing was quite clear in no fashion this would be an easy feat for Russia and it was apparent that Russia's military efforts were facing significant challenges the Ukrainian resistance was much stronger than Moscow or the world for that matter had initially expected the Russian casualties were Rising rapidly reaching tens of
thousands and their supplies of ammunition weapons tanks and trucks were running out quickly due to the demands of the front line as much as the credit goes to Ukraine's resiliency Ukraine also had one huge Edge that Russia lacked yes we are talking about the United States and the collective West if there's one thing that Russia cannot stop is the continued pouring of arms and ammunition provided by the American and Western European military-industrial complexes which have certainly turned the ties of war in Ukraine's favor but what Russia has is more soldiers to sacrifice as it has
more than three times Ukraine's population to pull Manpower from as a result The Invasion has gradually evolved into a brutal War of Attrition between Russia's capability to replace its loss in Manpower with Ukraine's ability to replenish its equipment and supplies ever since Moscow decided to make its maddening move to launch a full scale invasion of Ukraine the west and its allies have levied an unprecedented amount of sanctions on Russia thereby cutting its trade from the outside world in the beginning the results were quite effective as the Russians struggled to replace their losses in tanks airra
craft artillery and especially microchips and other Advanced weapon systems which are all things critical in Modern Warfare but then something happened Iran in August of 2022 hundreds of Iranian manufactured kamakazi drones known as the shahad 1 136 suddenly began appearing across the battlefield in Ukraine under Russian service the Russians used these lowcost Iranian drones in large numbers to attack Ukrainian civilian infrastructure overwhelming the Ukrainian air defense defense with a sheer quantity of drones this tactic played a significant role in causing about half of Ukraine's electric grid to go offline intentionally as part of a campaign
aimed at creating fear and disruption however the support from Iran to Russia goes beyond just supplying drones which we will discuss later in the video prior to Russia's fullscale invasion of Ukraine the military security relationship between Moscow and tan was primarily characterized by a patron client Dynamic with Russia as the patron providing Iran with military equipment Iran's provision of drone technology to Russia which has played an important role in Ukraine has reshaped this Dynamic so much so that us officials warned that Moscow and tan are now developing a full-fledged defense Partnership if we think about
it it does make sense geopolitically before the latest chapter of the Russia Ukraine war Iran was the most heavily sanctioned country in the world with over 4,191 sanctions by the US and European countries this was due to teran's continued pursuit of a nuclear program which they've been suspiciously trying to build over the last decades but things changed when Russia declared war on Ukraine and snatched the title from Iran after being bombarded by A Reign of sanctions by the west and its allies so what do two countries do after being collectively shunned from the entire world
you enter into a marriage of convenience to help each other out and that's exactly what the new Russian Iran axis is then their common hate towards the West so as a byproduct Russia's export to Iran has grown by 27% while Iran's export to Russia also grew by 10% last year Russia became the largest foreign investor in Iran by contributing 2.76 billion us to the country's economy which is nearly 2x3 of the 4.2 billion US dollars that Iran attracted in total Russia's push for closer investment ties with Iran became especially apparent by mid 2022 when in
July the national Iranian oil company and the Russian giant gazprom signed a memorandum on energy cooperation which envisioned Russian Investments of40 billion us into Iran's oil and gas industry but given their history it is a strange partnership after all the two countries share a long and complex relationship one filled with centuries of conflict and historical tensions let's have a look shall we for centuries Russian and Persians have fought many wars over their influence and interest in areas like the Caspian Sea Central Asia and the Caucasus by the early 19th century Iran's ker Dynasty controlled a
large part of the region including Modern Day Iran Armenia azer Bahan Georgia and dagistan however starting in 1804 the Russian Empire began invading and taking over these areas in two separate treaties the Russians conquered and annexed the territories from Iran territories that would remain a part of Russia and the Soviet Union for nearly the next 2 centuries until the 1990s when the Soviet Union ultimately collapsed this despite these historical tensions Russia's influence in these formerly Iranian regions persists to this day dagistan remains under Russian control South essia and Georgia are occupied by Russian forces and
Armenia is part of moscow's military Alliance the fact that they lost control of the South Caucasus to the Russians remains a source of humiliation and National embarrassment felt by several Iranian nationalists to this day across the 19th century Britain wanted to prevent Russia from expanding into Central Asia towards British occupied India and the Indian Ocean where Russia could challenge British Naval power so in 1907 Britain and Russia divided Iran into spheres of influence leaving a neutral buffer zone then during the second world war Britain and the Soviet Union jointly invaded Iran in 1941 to secure
supply routes to support the Soviet Eastern Front leading to the removal of Iran's ruling sha the Soviets kept on occupying parts of the country for the next 5 years right up to the beginning of the Cold War era Iran during the Cold War remained autocratic but was highly pro-american and pro-western under the reign of Muhammad RZA palavi and remained opposed to the spread of Communism any further in the Middle East for decades across the 1960s and70s however in 1979 the Islamic revolution in Iran happened and with it the whole geopolitical landscape of the Middle East
changed forever the pro-american Sha was overthrown and was replaced by extremely conservative anti-American Ayatollah K who established the Islamic Republic of Iran and declared himself as its supreme leader the new Iran a revolutionary Theocratic Islamic State ruled by the ultraconservative Iranian [ __ ] Muslim Ki class sought to export its Islamic revolution worldwide to every other Muslim country K had two aims first to unify the Islamic World under the rule of Iran's own clergy and second to destroy the state of Israel from existence of course this didn't bode well with the United States but the
final nail in the coffin came in November 1979 after the attacks on the US Embassy in tran and the Abduction of 52 American diplomats and citizens as hostages the United States severed its relations with Iran and the two countries have remained bitter enemies ever since encouraged by the upheaval in Iran and a lack of us and Israeli support for Iran Iraq Saddam Hussein invaded Iran fearing the spread of Iran's Islamic revolution as a threat to its Regional influence oh and how can we forget that he did it to capture Iran's oil reserves too Saudi Arabia
Kuwait and United Arab Emirates all Arab monarchies provided substantial financial support amounting to billions of dollars for Saddam Hussein's Invasion these monarchies were concerned about the Iranian clergy's call for a revolution that could threaten their own monarchies this marked the start of a lengthy rivalry between the ruling Elites and monarchists in Saudi Arabia and the religious leadership in Iran a rivalry that persists to this day likewise the Soviets too were deeply concerned about this Islamic revolution their decision to invade Afghanistan in late 1980 was primarily driven by fear regarding the potential spread of this revolutionary
wave into Afghanistan and then into the predominantly Muslim populations of Soviet Central Asia potentially leading to uprisings and instability in the region in the war that followed Iran supported Afghan Shia Muslim fighters who were opposing the Soviet Union in Afghanistan there were even instances where Iranian and Soviet forces clashed directly including Soviet Special Forces raids into Iranian territory and the shooting down of Iranian helicopters in 1988 eventually the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan in 1989 and their Union dissolved in 1991 since the newly founded Russian Federation was not as committed to Communism as its predecessor the
relationship between them and Iran gradually began to warm up however the relationship between Moscow and toron evolved into a more significant Alliance in 2011 when the Syrian Civil War broke out call it fate or call it coincidence suddenly both governments found themselves supporting the same side of the corrupt Arab nationalist regime of Bashar al-assad Syria hates Israel and one of the primary reasons for their animosity is Israel's occupation of the golen heights a region previously controlled by Syria that was later seized by Israel during the 6 Day War in 1967 Israel later officially declared annexation
of the Goen Heights in 1981 Syria also has no love for Israel's biggest supporter the United States at the same time Syria also claims a territorial dispute with turkey over the Hat Province arguing its historical Heritage to Syria with the US backing Israel and Turkey backed by NATO and the US by extent Syria Allied itself with the Soviet Union during the Cold War period in exchange for military and financial aid supplied by the Soviets Syria allowed the Soviets to establish a Naval facility in Tardis this facility allowed Soviet and later Russian warships and submarines to
operate freely in the Mediterranean without it passed through the NATO controlled Turkish Straits to return to their home ports on the Black Sea during the collapse of Assad's regime and thereby its access to tartis by a pro-western government Russia deployed a large number of soldiers and mercenaries to Syria in 2015 to support the pro Moscow Assad regime in the aftermath of the horrors they inflicted in Syria the effort paid off resulting in a strategic victory for the Kremlin with Assad regaining control over significant parts of Syria offering his gratitude Assad granted Russia a favorable deal
regarding the T Naval facility in 2017 the Russians were granted full Sovereign territorial control over the base of tardis for 49 years until 2066 completely free of charge and completely free from Syria's legal jurisdiction Taris effectively became a Russian Outpost in Syria securing Russia's Southern flank in the Mediterranean but this Sinister feat wasn't achieved by Russia alone as there was one other country that played its part yes Iran but why Iran well the answer is that that Iran Syria Palestine and Lebanon are all part of what Iranians call their axis of resistance this means they
work together to oppose their enemies in the Middle East including the United States Israel and the gulf monarchies in recent times Iran and Syria have become quite close despite their ideological differences one being Theocratic Islamic nationalism and the other being nominally secular Arab nationalism respectively but as they say hatred does pull people together or the standard enemy of my enemy is my friend Iran and Syria are somewhat in the same boat on account of their hatred towards Israel and the United States it's no secret that for years Israel and Iran have engaged in proxy wars
with the latter's religious heads vowing to dissolve the Jewish State Iraq led by Saddam Hussein was a barrier between Iran and Syria for years as Saddam opposed Iran due to religious and nationalist reasons however saddam's actions including invading Kuwait and later Iraq led to the collapse of his regime creating a power vacuum that favored Iranian fluence since then Iran has made continuous efforts to maintain a decentralized and weak Iraq to prevent any pro-iranian figures like Sadam from emerging furthermore the Iranians also recruit and train proxy militia forces out of Iraq's Shia population in return these
Iranian back militias act as conduits to transfer Iran's weapons and other supplies to Syria responsible for further handling them to Hezbollah in Lebanon Hezbollah is a political military organization active in Lebanon which is bankrolled and trained by Iran with the same exact goal aligned with the Islamic revolution and unification of all Islamic people under one flag not to mention diminishing the United States's power and of course the complete annihilation of Israel following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 the Kremlin found itself increasingly dependent on Iran in response to the Urgent situation in Ukraine most of
the Russian troops mercenaries and Equipment were withdrawn from Syria this was necessary to redirect them to a more critical theater of operations in Ukraine as a result Iranian forces and their Affiliated groups were largely Left Behind to safeguard and further enhance Russia's territorial gains in Syria speaking of the Ukraine war it's quite clear why Iran is supporting Russia let's take a look at what Iran has supplied to Russia so far the most threatening aspect of the recent Russian Iranian relationship for Europe is the use of Iranian combat drones by Russia to taret critical infrastructure including
power grids and radar stations Russia has deployed forms of Iranian made drones and regular attacks inside Ukraine since September 2022 the Ukrainian president vmir zalinski even alleges that Russia has sought to acquire at least 2,400 drones from Iran to add to this it's also reported that Iran has sent military trainers from the Islamic revolutionary gar Corp to Russian occupied Crea to help moscow's troops use Iranian drones against Ukraine but the arms transfers from Iran may go just beyond drones according to the Wall Street Journal Iran has also sent over 300,000 artillery shells and a million
rounds of ammunition To Russia in November the US also alleged that Iran is considering providing Russia with hundreds of short-range ballistic missiles srbm Russia is believed to have depleted its ballistic missile inventory and although the Iranian weapons are less accurate than their Russian counterparts they could be an important asset according to Gustav gressle of the European Council on Foreign Relations the potential use of these missiles presents a greater challenge than drones to the Ukrainian forces as it would be harder to intercept them don't you think this begs the question of what Iran is getting in
return this is where things become really interesting for Iran as they have a long list of requests and who knows Russia May grant them some the United States and its allies are already tense about Russia cooperating a lot with Iran in defense matters this includes things like Electronics air defense attack helicopters and Radars in September Iranian State media isna announced Iran's Air Force received Russian made yakan 130 combat trainer aircraft that can help pilots fly more advanced fighter jets this cooperation includes the potential transfer of Russian SEO Sue 35 fighter jets that could significantly Advance
the performance of Iran's military Arsenal the US has also raised concerns about Russia providing training to Iranian Pilots it's not clear when or if Iran will get the S35 fighter jets there have been some disagreements and there might be production issues on the Russian side however some experts believe that both countries want the deal to work out because it's important to them there's a pretty strong chance that Iran might receive Sue 35 fighter jets in the future in exchange for Iranian drones or more advanced weapons like srbm well it's not confirm what Russia paid for
the drones Iran already gave them but it's estimated to be a large amount however according to one Iranian security expert Russia gave Iran $6 million in cash for drones as per a sky news report an exchange for Iranian drones Russian military aircraft arrived in ton in August 2022 carrying a significant amount of cash a British nlaw anti-tank missile a US Javelin anti-tank missile and a US Stinger anti-aircraft missile a neat trick is the Islamic Republic can reverse engineer these weapons to achieve two objectives learning how to better defend against the weapons and learning how to
design and produce their own versions Iran has already shown much innovation in reverse engineering Western weapons and proliferating them across the region examples include anti-aircraft systems designed partially based on the US made surface to a missile systems and recent times drones designed from a captured us drone another big wrinkle on the forehead is the question regarding whether Russia provides Iran with its S400 air defense system which would honor a longtime iranium request Russia has rejected past such inquiries fearing the relationship problems that agreeing would create with other countries including Israel Saudi Arabia the United Arab
Emirates and turkey but with the change in geopolitical landscape between the two countries one can never tell what Russia could do Advanced Air Defense systems from Russia could enhance Iran's ability to defend against potential attacks on his nuclear infrastructure and other strategic facilities a threat long perceived by the United States and Israel we've made a full- length video on this topic which you can check out later after the completion of this video moving on Russia could also improve Iran's Cyber Technology by Leaps and Bounds which can help the Iranians in terms of surveillance and countering
internal threats Russia G Iran a satellite called kopus 5 in 2021 which has Espionage capabilities they launched another satellite together in 2022 which has raised concerns from Israel and the us because it could significantly improve Iran's missile guidance systems last but not least Iran is learning from Russia's war in Ukraine they can gain valuable information about Ukrainian air defense systems and Western military equipment which can help them in future conflicts win or fail Lessons Learned and were important right in this whole geopol itical development if there's one country that should be rattled by this plot
is another than Israel recently in a rare show of public criticism of Moscow mad's intelligence agency's director shared his concerns over Moscow providing weapons to Iran we are concerned that the Russians will meet Iran's demand to supply it with weapons and raw materials that will put Israel at risk mad's David barnia said in a speech recently Israel has repeatedly vowed that it won't allow his arch nemesis Iran to obtain nuclear weapons and frequently threatens mil military action if Iran continues to go down the path toward a nuclear state in all likelihood it will launch a
military operation to destroy the facilities possibly in conjunction with the United States if it comes to that such an action could have severe repercussions for that region with Iran seeking sophisticated new air defense systems from Russia Israel's plan to attack the nuclear facilities may come to a halt and might lead to a one-on-one armed conflict between both the Nations but that's not where this freight train ends as Iran acquiring nuclear armaments will also shake up the entire Middle Eastern geopolitics to add further fuel to the fire and the geopolitical situation of the region which we
know is already walking on thin ice Saudi Arabia has also warned that if Iran develops nukes it will also push forward to develop a nuclear arsenal of its own if Iran develops its nuclear weapons and Builds an impenetrable defense against air strikes it would be disastrous for Israel it might also strike Israel back as recently Iran revealed its first indigenous Hypersonic ballistic missile fate according to Iran its high maneuverability and speed allow it to defeat all missile defense systems in a chilly warning Iran boasted that the missile would take 400 seconds to Tel Aviv directly
threatening Israel's largest city even though Israel has one of the best armies in the world and is aided by the US for its defense budget nevertheless a clash between the two countries can prove to be a costly Affair both on monetary and humanitarian terms considering Middle East history this could very well take the form of a religious clash and prompt other extremist outfits to jump in as well and it's not that Iran has made any effort to inflict chaos in Israel this year alone there have been several instances where Iranian involvement in various plots has
come to light for example in July aeri Security Forces apprehended a 23-year-old Afghan citizen suspected of planning an attack on Israel's Embassy in Baku Israel attributed this plot to Iran in the preceding month cypriate intelligence Services disclosed that they had thwarted an Iranian scheme tar targeting Jewish individuals and Israelis additionally in March Greek authorities arrested two Pakistani individuals who are allegedly plotting terrorist attacks that could have resulted in Mass casualties at a Jewish restaurant in a Chabad house in Athens similarly in November of the previous year Georgian security officials revealed that they had prevented an
attempt by Iran's revolutionary guards extr territorial arm the cuds force to assassinate a well-known Israeli Georgian residing in the capital city of tbli the these incidents were part of a series of Iranian plots aimed at harming Israelis in the region for instance in June 2022 both turkey and Israel successfully thed a plan to Target Israelis in Istanbul but as they say with terrorism the good guys need to get lucky every time the bad guys just needed to get lucky once sadly the bad guy got his once while the script is being written the world is
saddened by the news of the unprecedented attack on Israel by the Hamas militant group in which they fired thousands of rockets as dozens of Hamas Fighters infiltrated the heavily fortified Border in several locations by air land and sea and caught the country off guard that too on a major holiday at least 700 people have died mostly civilians and over 2,000 have been injured in Israel so far prompting the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netu to declare the country at a state of War if we go by the reports of the Wall Street Journal Iranian security officials
helped plan hamas's Saturday surprise attack on Israel and gave the green for the assault at a meeting in barut last Monday claimed by senior members of Hamas and Hezbollah another Iran backed militant group officers of Iran's Islamic revolutionary guard Corps have worked with Hamas since August to devise the air Land and Sea incursions the most significant breach of Israel's borders since the 1973 yam Kapur War while the US doubts the veracity of the claim a European official and an adviser to the Syrian government however gave the same account of Iran's involvement in the leadup to
the attack as the senior Hamas and hisbah members maybe there is some fire behind this smoke or maybe finally Iran has got some assurance that its long-standing wishful thinking May soon turn into a reality it's one bold move after all but what does Russia have to gain per providing means to help Iran fulfill its dream if you think about it the whole Prospect of Russia's assistance to Iran in this particular area seems utterly lunatic forget about the blowback on the international front with this soulle move Russia can permanently kiss goodbye to its relations with countries
like Israel Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates countries that at the end of the day even if they are Iran's Rivals buys a lot of weapons from Russia and so far remain neutral in the Ukraine conflict well once upon a time someone coined the saying that desperate times call for desperate measures and believe it or not folks this might just apply to Russia right now consider this what if the relationship between Russia and the West continues to get worse what if the Ukraine Ians with the help of American weapons make more progress in their
fight and threatened Russia's control over Russian controlled territories like cria and seast sople the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet this could very well prompt Russia to pull a desperate move to distract America and the west from Ukraine helping Iran get a nuclear weapon could be a way for Russia to do this clearly it would cause a conflict in the Middle East between Iran and Israel which could in all probability turn into a major war that forces the Americans to focus their military attention away from Ukraine in contrast to Ukraine a war between nuclear
armed Israel and Iran or a conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran both seeking nuclear weapons in the oil Rich Persian Gulf where a lot of the world's oil is found would likely draw the direct involvement of the American Military the result Paving a path for Russia to get what it is always wanted how's that for a theory something we should all think twice over wouldn't you agree thanks for watching and we'll see you in the next one
