00:00Well, after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in July, Iran was in fact about to respond.
00:08However, indirect messages from the U.S. as well as direct messages from the European
00:14countries persuaded Iran to exercise restraint.
00:19The main reason could be that Tehran did not want to be blamed as a country that was eliminating
00:26the chance of establishment of a ceasefire in Gaza.
00:31But according to Iranian officials, months of inaction by the U.S. and failure in establishing
00:39a ceasefire ended with Beirut incident, which exhausted Iran's patience.
00:45Here is what President Pazashkian said in Doha.
00:51We are not in pursuit of war with Israel.
00:53We promise us peace, but Israel has terrorized our guests in Tehran during our presidential
00:58inauguration.
01:00We want to establish peace.
01:01If you disagree, peace will not be established.
01:12Here in Tehran, the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, will lead Tehran's Friday prayers.
01:19This is really important as we had some reports from unknown sources that following the Israeli
01:26attacks in Lebanon and a possible reaction from Israel to Tehran's missile attacks this
01:33week, the Supreme Leader has been transferred to a safe place out of Tehran.
01:39Now we see his presence in Tehran's Friday prayers, reject such reports, and it could
01:47be the result of Iran's multi-layered air defense systems and the military's preparedness
01:54as the Iranian officials claim.
01:57Jain.
01:58Ehsan, thank you for that.
