I think The Telegraph should do a video on the history and prominence of the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF), in light of the current humanitarian catastrophe following the beginning of last year's civil war.
It would be really interesting to learn more about propaganda/ disinformation circulating on both sides about Israel/Hamas via social media, and how this is being used to influence electoral/ trade union politics in the West, and to what end. And more broadly where do pro-Palestinian/ anti-Zionist views on the left come from (e.g. how did Chomsky, Pappé, Zizek etc come to form their viewpoints)? It can't all just be from Iranian propaganda... Right?

As an Iranian who opposes the regime, let me answer that question: 9:10 The borders of Iran hold immense significance for the majority of people. Personally, I feel a surge of intense emotion whenever I hear of possible conflicts erupting on our soil or discover attempts to incite tensions among minorities by Israel. Instead of engaging Iran directly or supporting the division of Iran, the West should focus on diplomacy and addressing issues outside of borders. It's crucial to understand that the people of Iran have a deep love for their homeland and are willing to defend every inch of it with their lives.
I understand that nobody is talking about invading Iran, but about stoping Iran's regime from having nukes. Nobody cares about France having Nukes, or India or even Israel, but Iran's regime is a very active promotor of terror, and terror with nukes will produce horrifying things that probably have no name yet to describe them. It has to be avoided by all means. Therefore, I don't think a diplomatic solution is possible with terrorists. Not with this regime.
I think its important to explain how physically far apart the two countries are. Any direct confrontation would involve rockets and airplanes. Large scale tank battles or infantry clashes are simply impossoblr for both countries.
Actually no. For Israel tank battles and infantry clashes is impossible but for Iran it's easy because Iran is sitting on the borders of Israel with a big supply line and underground network of tunnels
Dude, Iran spent $30 million baby drones and 72 hour warning while it took Israel $1.5 billion of US tax payer money! Do the simple math and say who lost!🤷♀️
Wdym now they get billions by selling the interception systems easily with 99% real world proven anti blastic missile capability Btw Iran did it because they know Israel could intercept it

The fact that we live in a world where an American president can warn a Near East country not to strike an ally and it still struck is truly a remarkable turn of events
It was an awesome video, a correction is needed here: The nationalists who said "why isn't the leader responding the the bombing of the consulate" weren't actually demanding a response, but making fun of the weakness of IRGC's power against foreign armies (and that they only have enough strenght to beat us the people for hijab)
Correct, I'd like to add that Israel bombing iranian airbase wasn't about iran, it was for the saudis. Israel took out the defences of the base that holds the missiles that will eventually have nuclear war heads. Thus signaling to the Saudis that a coalition between israel and saudi is capable of disarming irans regime.
Fact is that those who most fervently claim religious beliefs are those who are the least fervent actual believers. It is only a tool to stay in power. Religion is for the masses.
6:30 Attempted assassination of Ali Khamenei (1981) Khamenei's treatment took several months and his arm, vocal cords and lungs were seriously injured. He was permanently injured, losing the use of his right arm. Khamenei has shaken hands with his left hand since the unsuccessful assassination.
When Iran and Israel come together no nation can stand with them but the west divided them. There are more Jews in Iran than other countries apart from US and maybe Israel
Whats disappointing historical records are there as to how u deal with criminal states .Dresden and Berlin faced the wrath of the allied forces to take out hitler
IDK, within the first 30 seconds the reporter refers to Israel and Iran as (albeit 'regional') superpowers. I think it's appropriate to call them great powers, but not superpowers (nor, of course, hyperpowers). Those words do mean something.
the greatest promotion of the british monarchy is in the history books with how much more peaceful and put together the entire middle east and africas were under british rule
Ayatollah terror regime tried to save face (and it may have for some its domestic supporters) but in fact it was embarrassed (before those who actually saw what happened) while Israel showed the regime how easily it can strike within.
In a republic, there is a president who is the head of state (Sometimes also the head of government as in the US). In Iran, the head of state is the supreme leader. Hence, Iran has no president! It is not a republic or anything like that! Take care when using the words!
Nice video just the title is very misleading - why Israel need Iran? It wasn't talked about in the video (possibly because Israel doesn't need it at all)
Iran isnt as bad as what america make them out to be. Just cause a country doesnt like war as jt know their people will suffer due to the war. What happiness cone fro war?
Iran doesn't like war? or that's why they founded, armed, and funded Hezballa, the Houthis, armed and funded Hamas and send their forces everywhere to surround Israel?
Sounds like a fair assessment. Let’s pray wisdom will prevail , and that wider war will be avoided..So far Netanyahu is committing a genocide in Gaza and in the West Bank. He is a ruthless corrupt leader using war to stay in power.
Iranian people can and should bring down the Ayatollah's regime and save the People/Nation with great Persian history and future possibilities to be a flowering nation of the Middle East
no they wouldn't Iran and Israel used to be friends. I'm Israeli and my grandpa came with an Israeli company to build a hotel in Iran in the 70's. he was greeted good. it's merely the Islamic republic that made an enemy out of America and Israel.
Only under the Islamic Republic. If IR gets overthrown almost certainly the next government will be either neutral or pro-Israel at least for a few years. People are certainly tired of this pointless antagonism of IR with US and Israel.
Irans military base wasnt bombed in isfahan lol. Israel launched a bunch of dji size drones and it was all taken down hence why none of the media talks about it since it was sooo bad lol.
Well, to make some of my desserts, l may need both Israel and Iran. Iran has the best pistachioes and Zagros figs, and Israel has great dates and melons. Now, this stated, Iran may need Israel to restore Zoroastrianism and Christianity. Israel also has Bahai, who may too contribute to giving Iran help iit get rid of lslam. The thing is, as it stands, the end of lslam in lran is jeoardized by the lranians who are willingly Muslim. I am French, l regularly encounter in France lranians who, upon being safe, revert to Zorolastrianism or Christianism (usually they opt for being Catholic or Lutherians instead of reverting to being Nestorians). If the Islamic Republic falls, l deem that within days a fitfh to a quarter of the Iranians would cease to follow lslam.
Many Iranians already renounced Islam especially in the last decade, that's well-known and obvious, the fall of the regime would only make that official and countable

Those anti-government protests in Iran proves that Iran government is democratic and tolerates opposition
🫡 Sharp and levelheaded report, now that’s journalism!
Trash and totally biased. Good luck with your superpower Israel.
wow... god help us, if this is journalism..
The video did really overestimate the power of Iran. Iran can do literally nothing in a confrontation with Israel.
Thanks for the wonderful explaination..i wish peace will rule
It's one of the most correct analyses ever! 👍
The title is misleading
Iran itself may not be attacking Israel, but its proxies are.
Where 😂😂😂
The proxies are one of 3 never-dying reasons why American warships are surrounding the proxies.
Very well done Roland
very interesting and balanced. good job!
This guy is same propoganda who said that Iranians want israel to bomb them.😂😂😂😂
It is incorrect to say Iraq's invasion of Iran was unprovoked.
very accurate analysis
Great journalism here.
Nobody needs the Islamic Republic. But if freed, the Iranian people could again be a blessing to the world.

Good analysis, although misses the fact that Iranians themselves mocked Iran's retaliatory strike.
Iran is full of groups that hate the regime.
They actually didn't and a lot of them were praising the attack. Go back to your hole.
so theres no reason as to why they need each other, what a waste
6:00 The building that was bombed was NOT part of the embassy. A lot of it is misinformation or disinformation.
Iran thousands of years of history and family tree. Israel was created 1948. Do the match
