During the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), Ayatollah Khomeini reportedly used Iranian children as "human mine-clearers" in battlefield operations. Children, some as young as 12 or 13, were sent to clear minefields ahead of Iranian troops. They were sometimes given plastic keys said to symbolize their entry into paradise if they died. This tactic drew widespread international condemnation for its cruelty, highlighting the brutal methods of the Islamic regime in Iran at the time.

They first started clearing the ground using donkeys but since animals refrained to proceed after seeing other donkeys blow up, then they had to use younger soldiers to volunteer for the fatal operation.
I'm lost here. If a nuclear Iran is so dangerous (of course it would be) why won't the US or Israel take advantage of the diminished Hezbollah to finish off its nuclear capacity?
Because Israel has not got the capability and if the USA try's it then it will bring in Russia and China in support of Iran .Unless you are very blind or very stupid its hard to see how letting Netanyahu have nuclear weapons is any less dangerous than Iran having them . (which they have )
Because the Obama Biden administration are playing both sides they like forever wars they are propping up the nuclear arms race they’re just as evil as the rest
I don't think it be that easy to do for Israel. As for US they pay hundreds of money to Iran. Of course they won't want to hurt their money making Iran.
I find it bizarre that someone on you tube claims to know what IDF is going to do next before it happens. If that were the case secret services have no reason to exist, you tubers know best!!!!
@@swojnowski453 It's called geopolitic curiosity and it can perfectly be indulged without stressing out over the exact truth, because even if you knew it you can't change jack hoot. Leave that burden to the decision makers that are shaping those events. And back to the point, what is the timestamp of the video where he says he knows the future?
In this century, time to put "idealistic symbolism" aside (which rarely endures, in this rhetorical "social media" world): time to actually take practical, enduring, cut-to-the-bone measures. (aka: "git er dun")
This journalist didn't understand (27 mins about) that there are resistance groups in Syria that aren't Iranian proxies. Shows the level of knowledge in the Western media. It's bad.
Or most of the world lost the plot and their history and values of freedom and free speech. What their old generation worked so hard to build and died for it. Only for this generation to throw it all to the garbage. It's very sad
that isn't true at all. Israeli defense industry is world class and they supply several western armies with weapons. Canada receives more from Israel than it sells for example
Israel produces most of their weapons. They are #9 exporter in the world. Just because they import specific types from USA doesn't mean they don't produce their own. Even USA imports some stuff but they still produce the majority themselves.

@@readthrough978 It is not nonsense. I have Iranian colleagues in academia who confirmed this when news of it first broke.

Good questions and answers. I appreciate your guest.
The Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. Grateful thanks
What happened on October the 7th 2023?
@@sonnyirish3678 The guardian was sleeping.
He seems to take the odd nap.
That was a great interview! Thank you! It will be very interesting to see what Israel actually does in Iran!

Totally agree with you !!!

It's called an educated guess, from someone with more insight more than the average viewer.
you should not waste your time for anyone who says they know what the future holds.

PG, the Lebanese will take back their country. Israel has no argument with Lebanon.
The Sun attempting serious journalism? After decades of Page 3? That's a turnup for the books! And using words of more than three syllables! Wow!
Thank you Sir so much for your informative insight into this matter for me I'm not seeing enough on the news media.
I like popcorn 🍿
Excellent intelligent analysis👍🏻👍🏻
I stopped listening when he said Israel would use "pinpoint accuracy" when striking Iran.

We need Trump for a situation like this.

Excellent, thank you!
Too much "you know"
I mean....I mean...I mean...I mean.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Time is not in your favour. It is better NOT to start war. BE CAREFUL. You cannot boast you know everything about your opponent.

I think Israel has lost the plot, and America has lost everything good.
Why?
Or most of the world lost the plot and their history and values of freedom and free speech.

How? 😂😂😂😂

Iran manufactures majority of armaments. Israel imports majority of armaments.
that isn't true at all. Israeli defense industry is world class and they supply several western armies with weapons. Canada receives more from Israel than it sells for example

Completely false .
Regime change would happen max in 6 to 12 months in Iran.
