Lecture Content
Support for Global Terrorism
– Although Iran has lost its status as an empire, its rise, status, and influence in the world in general and the Middle East in particular cannot be ignored. With great patience, slow creep, and under the ideology of “support for the oppressed,” Iran took control of Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria, thereby creating a territorial contiguous territory that paved its way to the Syrian Golan Heights. Iran’s hand is also in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, helping to arm the Shiites in Yemen and of course supporting the financing of many other terrorist organizations globally.
– Iran empowers terrorist organizations around the world. It empowered Hezbollah and turned it into a terrorist power by giving it the resources needed to create approximately 150,000 missiles, and it also strengthened Hamas and gave it the ability to produce approximately 250,000 missiles and rockets. Through these actions, Iran has in fact increased the threat to the State of Israel in a direct and tangible way.
Striving for Nuclear Supremacy
Above all, Iran is striving to achieve nuclear capability. While the world powers worked day and night to promote Iran’s signing of the nuclear agreement under their terms, Iran, for its part, continued to work on uranium enrichment while simultaneously refusing to sign the nuclear agreement, which later turned out to have many loopholes that significantly reduced the limitations defined in it.
Ballistic missile development as a top priority
Iran has no intention of giving up its right to develop strategic missiles and is fighting for this right in every discussion and negotiation on nuclear issues and afterwards. Iran’s insistence has increased the concerns of US presidents, who have expressed their dissatisfaction on many occasions and have spoken many times with their European counterparts about the issue.
Answering questions such as:
– Through what tools does Iran support global terrorism?
– How is Iran trying to achieve regional hegemony?
– Is Iran trying to achieve nuclear supremacy? If so, why?
– Why does Iran insist on developing strategic missiles? And where does it stand in realizing its ability to develop these missiles?
– Why does missile development raise concerns in Israel and the US?
