00:00Since the assassination of Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah, focus has shifted towards

00:05Iran, the organisation's leading ally.

00:09Where in the country, anger has flowed into the streets.

00:12I'm here to show my hatred for Israel.

00:15The Iranian nation is full of rage at the crimes and massacres that are taking place.

00:20Yesterday in a statement read out on television, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei vowed

00:25to retaliate and called on its allies.

00:31It is obligatory for all Muslims to stand proudly with the people of Lebanon and Hezbollah

00:36and help them confront the usurping, cruel and evil regime.

00:41In Baghdad, Iraq, a majority Shiite country, a minute of silence was observed to pay homage

00:47to Nasrallah.

00:49But as soon as it was over, vitriol ensued.

00:57Despite this anger, experts say there is little point for Iran to go into an all-out war.

01:03There is no point because there is clearly a disproportion of force and above all, in

01:08the event of war between Israel and Iran, the United States will be forced to re-engage.

01:13A war the international community wishes to avoid.

01:16The US has joined other nations in calling for a ceasefire in Lebanon, but it has also

01:20bolstered its military presence in the region.
