Republicans fault
Bait.
Troll u r and deceitful liar..
joe biden fault
just remember the Oct 7 attack
IT s FOR-BIDEN
As in Iran sponsors terrorism!
Is US sponsor of peace in the world?
This guys not gonna tell you he supports Houthis or Hamas. Wasted interview
Hes a liar!!!! He’s looking down as he fabricates!! Wow what a jaG off
By that rationale iran has allied themselves with the smallest and most drunken and belligerent guys outside the local bar….more than ready to stir up trouble and totally USELESS when it comes time to throw down. Good analogy and hey…good pick for a “TREATY ORGANIZATION” less the concept of “peace-keeping” or any “balance of power” concept. Idiots. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Was this a comedy skit?
No more like NATO calling itself a defensive alliance 😂

How stupid does Iran think the world is! They give weapons to groups they claim they have no control over! I don’t think so!
Exactly what it is.
Just like when the USA invades a country for interest and tries to shame Russia for doing what they felt was in their interests
Iranians will never tell you the truth
Will American tell U the truth?
haha.. if its like their NATO, why aren’t they defending them?
We are working on the attoomm weapons
@@Sumaya_iran proof?
I’m tired of Iran they want war and need to be taught a lesson.
US will never be tired to wage many wars on other countries
By who exactly🤷🏾♂️diaper wearing grandpa in the Whitehouse
This was the best interview they could come up with? hah
They should have kept Lester as a hostage. LOL
Iran is 100% responsible 🙄. They supply the weapons, the training, and money. Bunch of lies from 🐍.
just like US, responsible 100% for many catastrophe in the world
– Neitanyahu let the attack happen on his own country, despite knowing about the attack 3 days before it happened.
– Music feistival was organised with lot of foreigners just 3 miles away from the border. Who ordered?
– Music feistival was extended by one day as the attack did not happen when it was thought to happen. Who ordered?
– Noticing that music feistival casuailty were less, used I.D.F to increase the casuailties in the music feistival. On whose order?
Actually Netanyahu knew a year in advance Egypt is the one that found out 3 days before
@@Rodknock_ Yes. And Egypt intelligence informed the Isriael intelligence 3 days before. It was fully confirmed for the Isriael 3 days before.
Why should Isriaeil not be called as a terroiirist, for what they did and are still doing? Especially, for 11,500 children killed, 330 schools destroyed and 110 journalists killed.
@@Jmaki755 A powerful army fighting with the women and children is not a war. A Colonialist fighting with the people of the colonies that it is occupying for last 70 years is not a war by any means.
@@SadaK-tr6dmwhy not tell ur Hamas to wear uniform so the IDF can save ur so called women and children ..please stop weeping and shedding tears
😂
@@SadaK-tr6dm excuses Abdul .. excuses …
@Jmaki755 Israel has no right to self-defense under international law for its occupation of Palestinian territory. They are a terrorist government similar to the US. You can not intrude into someone’s backyard, and when you get attacked, you try to fight in self-defense.
What kind of journalism is this?!
Are you the bad guys ?
No, we not.
Would you like your partners to stop shooting missiles?
Yes, but Israel should stop.
Do you have control of the Houthis?
No, they make their own decisions but we just fully fund them.
What a joke.
Weak reaction from Biden gives them confidence that the US scared of them 😮😮
Trump was also panicked we hit two US bases
The west wants us to believe we should be there puppet. Iranian are entitled to have any friends of their choosing
The UN is done for. 💀
Good analogy.
The hostages are probably buried in some tunnel.
What few haven’t been sold off or taken as plunder
@@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing,it’s hard for me to believe that Hamas is going to be running around with a bunch of hostages while fighting against the IDF.
He’s literally laughing at us and nato 😂
Just a front. The Iranians believed when Desert storm happened that America would be fighting Saddam for years. When we defeated him in less the 6 months they were stunned. Trust me they know how good we are at fighting. That why Iran isn’t trying to attack us like they did in 1980’s.
@@mandarinandthetenrings2201 gee even barefoot india could defeat saddam after iran was done with him, lol
People tend to do that when they’re afraid of something they’re not capable of understanding. Laugh out the side of their face I mean, especially when laughing the West.
@@ariaspes3842 Don’t be cocky, Saddam had over 300 tanks even the Iranians found out the hard way that running into to his armor divisions was a death sentence.
@@user-ck6bf3ke1w Cindy we have fought the Iranians head to head in the 1980’s and they found out the hard way we can kick their a** in direct fight. Trust me it all act. Iranian are afraid of us. That why they use militia from other countries to attack Americans not Iranians.
Netanyahu and Israel are genocide of Palestinian people in GAZA and west Bank with help of USA and UK and EU
its too much exclusive interview
Best answer of 21st century 😂
Why not just bend the knee with this pathetic questioning.
So, let me see if I understood it right. He said, “if the other side accept Hamas conditions the war will end.” Meaning, a terrorist group, financed by Iran, started a war that they could not win and now is imposing conditions to it’s end.
No he says tell to US-backed IDF stop been a coward and go after their military not 12 thousands children,he is so reasonable isn’t he?
@@MrMalmirthey are going after hamas. Maybe they should stop being cowards and hiding in the maternity wards.
@MrMalmir do hamas wear uniforms? Hamas themselves don’t distinguish their own civilians from militants. Why do you expect others to?
@@InnocentCardGame-sz2be
That’s filthy lie to justify genocide, they live in an open air prison they can barely get their ammunition they use to had stones as weapons,I think it’s not so hard to distinguish between a hospital,school where civilians and children come and go is it?
The regime targets the UN refugee camps once stormed and arrested UN members so far dozens of UN members lost their lives, regime also targets safe zones where they told civilians to go there ,I don’t know how you sleep but obviously you’re supportive for a genocide.

Seen this before… Legion of DOOM!
NATO is a terrorist group look what you have done to Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya
“Not at all” typically a sign of lying is when the person in question doesn’t look you in the eyes guy was lying through his teeth.
Its politics plus its their region after all , wth are we doing over there ?

Islam and Mohammed 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
i dont think telling enemies like Hamas to stop would ever make sense. They will never listen. Even Robert E. Lee would have the experience from that.
Have you ever try to but your shoes on there world .
He is making alot of sense, US can deny it but its true.
Everyone in this world has a reason or excuse for what he or she does.
The US is in Middle East as it has an excuse for it.
Iran is in Middle East as it also has an excuse for it.
The excuse of the US is that because they can, and they indeed can. They have succeeded to manage their own country so well and make it a heaven compared to other countries of the world and people of the world like them and actually even if getting colonized by them, they still prefer it as they are really good at managing countries and are very fair. Examples are Germany, Japan and Israel or other countries such as Singapore, Hong Kong, or Taiwan which were successfully managed by the West.
You may name Afghanistan as the exact opposite of what the US is and stands for and still I remember Afghans missed Americans so much when they left it. I don’t know if Afghanistan became better or worse without Americans colonizing it, but still Americans were so good, that despite killing so many Afghans, still Afghan didn’t hate them.
But sometimes you are not this lucky and when you colonize a nation, they hate it from the day one. For example 1400 years ago, Arabs who had good intentions of introducing Islam and the word of God to Iranians, failed so badly to get a footing in Iran after their short message of god which finally got changed and created divisions between Muslims. Iranians hated them and so it became one of the worse failed colonizing missions in Middle East which its effect can still be seen today.
The excuse of Iran for being in Arab countries is because it can too: sadly in this case, it doesn’t have the talent, US has for managing other countries.
Arabs ask themselves: look how Iran managed itself. It put itself under massive sanctions for chanting against Israel for nothing and made a fun of itself. How it can manage us? We don’t want Iran.
Why USA hate Iran so much?
American politicians:
Russia can’t invade Ukraine let’s use our allies to sanction Russia and cut trade.
Iran:
Israel is carrying out a genocide their allies will start sanctions on Israel
Americans: how could they let’s bomb them.
You’ve been bombing the region for 40 years you got 9/11 out of it and you helped create ISIS and just gave a huge weapon upgrade to the Taliban just stop lol we aren’t any better than Iran our military is literally in every other country you think they are there for tourism?!
This guy is just a stooge, NBC can’t get an interview with the Ayatollah….
Ayatollah won’t even give them the time of day…. Because he sees them as a bunch of degenerates…

Or sometimes the bad guys, just the bad guy. Not everything is a grand conspiracy.
@YetiTurmoil Your country is objectively the bad guy. Killing 1 million people in Iraq, supporting isis in Syria and supporting a genocide in gaza are a couple of examples that come to mind
Seeing 👀 with your eyes is believable??? 🤔
Of course he’s gonna deny supplying weapons to the Houthis, even as they’re firing Shahed 149 drones at ships in the red sea.
He’s right, Iran don’t give it to em,they built it by their own,from other hand US-backed IDF is consumer of your money and free weapons .
all countries can sell weapons as a business like what the USA does.
same as the us and all the other governments and individuals around the world. as always, nothing knew, idk why you act suprised
DOUBLE TALK✅If they stop then others will stop 😉
he said no advance weapons. those shaheds are old and why able to take them down with ordinary sam systems
The WEST BACKED ISRAELI Warcrimes aren’t stopping why should the resistance stop?
Resistance to what? Progress of humanity? Only thing Iran has achieved is surrounding their regime with indoctrinated muslims to maintain relevance.
With antisemitism and religious divisions to as pillars of their regime.
Indoctrination of generations of Palestinians to encircle Israel. Just so that Iran regime can feel more comfortable IS genocide. And the international community stood by, even endorsed antisemitism and Iran regime’s devious intentions.
Persians are intelligent, sly, and incredibly advanced at the art of psychological warfare. Even managed to penetrate western academia. For generations. Spreading indoctrination of “apartheid” “occupation” “land grabbing”. And has solidified their power with the help of virtue signaling indoctrinated muppets. Dooming generations of Palestinians to hate and conflict.
That being said. Progress can only be achieved when confronted with problems. Otherwise, humanity become complacent, stagnant. The world must become better after this.
Thesis+antithesis = synthesis
He shouldn’t compare these revolutionaries and defenders of democracy to that evil military machine called NATO.
As a middle easterner myself I think Iran doesnt realize the severity of the situation I am afraid if their proxies wont stop with their attacks US might start levelling Iran.
iran can retaliate pal direct on US Soil ……………….and again, u guys are just thinking that Iran doesn’t have Nuclear weapons, be dreaming
Dream on!
why? it’s been done before so yeah dream on@@AZ-zr5oo
Mossad bot radar activated!
1 min of conversation? You call that an interview 🤦🏻♂️
He is right, and that is exactly what NATO under Anglo / American control, has become.
Yes, I too am sickened by the NATO backed anti-shipping missile attacks in the baltics and the horrible war of aggression committed by Ukraine against Russia.
@@JoshuaWard21 I don’t know whether you are mocking me or you are serious. But Ukraine / Russia was wasn’t created by either of the two but by America’s neoconservatives in hope of opening a NATO shop at Russia’s doorstep.
This so-called Iranian diplomat at the UN is not a diplomat by trade, his real profession is a “Religious HATE Preacher”.
There is no such thing as diplomacy in the Islamic ruling regime’s mentality, the 1400-year-old HATEFUL and BLOODY Religious Ideology is running the country and impacting the entire region and the World we’re living in.
The guy looks down when he lies. It’s amazing that he is not aware of that at this stage of his life.
Who says he is lying
god bless the iranians only people keeping the jews at bay
His lying .
Always a laugh , everytime these types on tv…. either iran, south american, like venezue, chinese etc…
Good jokes
I am shocked that a person of his Standing internationally can be pathetically lying on public television
He lies almost as good as Biden!!
Ayatollah NOT represent of IRAN.
Islamic republic of ayatollah have different from Iran,
because ayatollah have full support of Biden since 45 years.
This guy is literally just a talking head cannot believe a single word this mf says
So interviewing this guy is fine because it’s nbc but tucker Carlson interviewing Putin is treason ?
Control and influence
They are hand on hand with these terrorist,
Sounds like what an axis terrorist trying to play the narrative game would say…
Iran UN Ambassador, A Liar.😮😊
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.
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 ?!
Proud of Islamic Iran 🇮🇷
The interesting part in all this is that the US does exactly what Iran is doing. Backing militia’ in the region.

THIS GENTLEMAN SAID AS US SAYS SO HE IS EQUALISER 😅😅
lol, wow, what an @$$hole.
Way to earn that State Sponsor of Terror label, my guy.
Only the Americans can lie more then this guy, its incredible.
Shame on NBC to give media air to terrorists!
Allah doesn’t like liers and he’s lying
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.
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🦅
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
Sorry but we don’t negotiate with terrorists
the usa is the terrorist
shame on USA . Why USA is in Middle east ?
This Iranian is more American than every pro Zionist member of the US congress
NATO doesn’t support proxy guerrilla militias and then hide behind them like Iran does.
The USA directly funded and supported ISIS. Iran stopped ISIS
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.
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
NATO itself has expanded its members closer to Russia, causing Putin to start a war.
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?
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
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
MOTHER OF ALL TERRORISM 🇺🇸 SHOULD STOP…
We must strengthen our international agreements by being good…not bullies!
ESPECIALLY THIS KIND
