00:00 During his three-day visit to Pakistan, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi delivered a stark
00:06 warning to Israel, cautioning that any attack on Iranian territory can precipitate a seismic
00:13 shift in the geopolitical landscape, potentially endangering the existence of the Zionist regime.
00:20 Speaking at the Lahore University, Raisi's remarks, as reported by the Iranian-based
00:25 news network, underscore the gravity of the situation. He univocally stated that if Israel
00:32 were to repeat its aggression against Iran, the consequences will be grave and the survival
00:37 of the Israeli regime is uncertain. Raisi referenced Iran's retaliatory strikes
00:43 on Israel on 13 April, following Israel's alleged attack on the Iranian consulate in
00:48 Damascus on 1 April. Iran's response, characterized by a series of missiles and drones targeting
00:54 Israel, demonstrated Tehran's resolve to defend its sovereignty and punish aggressors.
01:01 Despite the recent tensions, Raisi has affirmed Iran's solidarity with Palestinian cause,
01:06 emphasizing the shared commitment of Iran and Pakistan to champion the rights of oppressed
01:12 Palestinian people. Moreover, Raisi also condemned Western hypocrisy
01:16 regarding human rights, particularly in the light of Israel's actions in Gaza. He particularly
01:21 characterized the United States for suppressing pro-Palestine sentiments, highlighting the
01:26 plight of Palestinian civilians and the urgency of liberating Jerusalem Kurds from occupation.
01:33 Amid efforts to strengthen bilateral ties, Raisi and Pakistani Prime Minister Shahab
01:37 al-Sharif also signed eight agreements aimed at fostering economic cooperation, including
01:43 the establishment of a joint special economic zone. Both leaders also pledged to combat
01:49 terrorism jointly and enhance trade relations, with the target of reaching $10 billion in
01:55 bilateral trade within the next few years. Raisi's visit signifies a renewed diplomatic
02:00 engagement between Iran and Pakistan, aiming to address past grievances and promote mutual
02:05 prosperity. As geopolitical dynamics continue to evolve, the outcome of this visit holds
02:11 implication for regional stability and cooperation.
