00:00On September 27th, Israeli attacks on Beirut left not only Hezbollah's Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah dead,
00:08but also killed one of the top commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Abbas Nifrushan.
00:14Nifrushan is the most recent Iranian IRGC commander to be assassinated by Israel.
00:20But the killing was met with a swift reaction.
00:23Iran launched Operation True Promise 2, which saw hypersonic missiles used for the first time ever by Iran.
00:31In Beirut, it took days for rescue teams to discover the IRGC commander's body
00:36under mountains of debris caused by the Israeli strike.
00:40Prior to returning to Iran, Nifrushan's body was first welcomed by his supporters
00:45and resistance group's forces in the Iraqi cities of Najaf and Karbala.
00:51Here in Tehran, pro-government supporters are attending a funeral ceremony
00:56bidding farewell to the deceased IRGC commander.
00:59He will be laid to rest after the final funeral service in the city of Isfahan on October the 17th.
01:07Angry mourners condemned Israel's violence and, above everything else, demanded the international community response.
01:16The international community has so far failed to perform its duties.
01:21The situation can't be any worse than it currently is.
01:27We demand the international organizations step in to help stop this war.
01:33Iran is now playing an active role in diplomatic efforts and negotiations with regional players.
01:40We have clearly stated many times that the Islamic Republic is not seeking any further escalation of tensions,
01:47but we are not afraid of war. We are fully prepared.
01:51While a war of words continues between Tehran and Tel Aviv,
01:55the Iranian people are still waiting to see how serious a possible Israeli response
02:01would be to Iran's October 1st barrage of missiles, the largest direct attack Iran has ever mounted against Israel.
