  1. My question ambassador is the agreement with This statement found in Article 7 of the Hamas Charter, reflects the organization's rejection of Israel's right to exist and its commitment to its eventual destruction?

    What I see is Iran will protect its sovereignty but with a written charter suits as article 7 the peace can’t be lasting for the next generation are likely to follow the writing instruction and not the what they would term acquiescence to a treaty that was contrary to their charter. So we would need that thing amended to ensure a l look lasting peace

  2. We implore you by the God of your father Ishmael mother Haggar to seek His guidance and see where we are in the history we can together bring the creation together and begin the works

  3. Were we able to see the extent of the death and destruction that result from fires of war, then how much greater would our efforts be to not only quickly extinguish a spark, but to ensure there are no sparkes. But, then we never learn. Do we?

  4. NATO itself has expanded its members closer to Russia, causing Putin to start a war.

  5. Iran is lying period and has never like the USA or ISRAEL period. They ISLAMIC Fundamentals and they are the world state sponsors of global terrorism and the UNITED NATIONS is major part of the problem

  6. I wish NBC would remove Lester Holt clip at the end of the video. Hearing it over and over does not makes me want to down load an app. It just makes me want to hot stop or close the window before I have to hear it again.

  7. The USA directly funded and supported ISIS. Iran stopped ISIS

  8. NATO doesn’t support proxy guerrilla militias and then hide behind them like Iran does.

  9. This Iranian is more American than every pro Zionist member of the US congress

  10. shame on USA . Why USA is in Middle east ?

  11. Sorry but we don't negotiate with terrorists

  12. US needs to be a world leader thst its and stop all these unnecessary wars….. stop the isreal aggression and find a lasting solution that caters to Palestinian rights and also keeps innocent isreali civilians safe…create a one state solution fir Jews and arabs or create a 2 state solution with Jerusalem as the capital city of Palestine 🇵🇸..
    These wars are only hurting innocent people

  13. While Iran is supporting terrorist groups in the region like Hezbollah, Hamas, Houties, USA is supporting elected governments' like Rashad al-Alimi, Yemeni president, Mahmoud Abbas, Palestine President, Lebonese President. The Democracy , Justice and Freedom for all will win🦅

  14. U.S believes they are making an intelligent geostrategic decisions in backing a genocide being watched live in horror across the globe. WOW. Who are these subterranean dwelling and unelected fools making these horrendously stupid decisions.

  15. Allah doesn't like liers and he's lying

  16. Shame on NBC to give media air to terrorists!

  17. Only the Americans can lie more then this guy, its incredible.

  18. lol, wow, what an @$$hole.
    Way to earn that State Sponsor of Terror label, my guy.

  19. THIS GENTLEMAN SAID AS US SAYS SO HE IS EQUALISER 😅😅

  20. But god forbid tucker interviews Putin. Hahahah

  21. The interesting part in all this is that the US does exactly what Iran is doing. Backing militia' in the region.

  22. Proud of Islamic Iran 🇮🇷

  23. Dont lie .
    It was Iran regime who is behind all the terror activiies.
    so cut off the money you give these merceneries.why you finance them ?!

  24. I don’t care if they are supplying these groups weapons, it is obvious. But just like how we supply weapons to Israel yet they ignore our calls on how to proceed with their war, the same is true of Iran and their proxies. They do not take orders from Iran, just supplies and training. Russia would have grounds for attacking the US for training and arming Ukrainians under that same logic. Not a good way to proceed for us.

  25. Iran UN Ambassador, A Liar.😮😊

  26. Sounds like what an axis terrorist trying to play the narrative game would say…

  27. Control and influence
    They are hand on hand with these terrorist,

  28. So interviewing this guy is fine because it’s nbc but tucker Carlson interviewing Putin is treason ?
