The amendment made by Iran after the death of Hamas chief Smail Khosrowshayn has been abolished. It is believed that he can attack Israel at any time. In such a situation it is necessary to know which countries and armies are with Iran and Israel. If we look at the incident, which country is seen, in fact if we try to identify big countries in groups then countries like Palestine, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Qatar, Oman, Russia and China are seen with Iran, whereas most of the European countries including America, France, Britain, Germany, Australia are with Israel. In which both the camouflage of the world’s military are considered equal. Especially if we talk about Israel and Iran, then they are at par. If we talk about global fire power, then Iran is at number 14 in the world. While Israel is on the seventh number, now the military forces of both are being compared and monitored to find out who can prevail in case of a war. If we talk about the army, Iran has 6 lakh 10000 soldiers while Israel has a total of 1 lakh 69500 soldiers. Israel Reserve Army. In this case, Iran is far ahead of Israel where it has 4 lakh 65000 reserve soldiers, while Iran has 3 lakh 50000 reserve soldiers. While Iran has paramilitary force, Israel has a paramilitary force of around 220000. Israel has around 1370 tanks, Iran has 1996 tanks, while Israel has 650 tanks. Israel is very strong with 775 rockets and territory Israel has only 150 rockets and territory Now talking about the global fire power of the air force, according to Strikers, Israel is very strong. Apart from Israel’s air force, it has only 150 rockets and territory. Iran has Israel’s air force. Israel’s air force is counted among the most famous air forces of the Middle East. It can be a big threat to Iran. Now talking about Iran, Iran has a total of 42000 air forces while Israel has 79000 air forces. The Israeli service has 612 fighter planes while Iran has 551. Israel has 241 fighter planes. Iran has 186. Israel has 23 special mission airplanes. Iran has 10. 155 passenger planes are near Israel while its number in Iran is 102. 14 fighter planes are near Israel and Iran has 146 helicopters. Israel has 14 helicopters and Iran has 1 129 Israel has 48 combat helicopters whereas Iran has 1. Now, talking about the sea, the armies of both the countries are with Iran. Israel does not even have 7 corvettes whereas Iran has only 3.. Iran has around 19 submarines whereas Israel has only five. Israel has 45 patrol vessels whereas Iran has 21. Iran has one sea ship whereas Israel also has 1. It is not believed that Israel also has nuclear weapons. Washington also has nuclear weapons. Washington’s Initiative claims that Israel and Iran have around 90 nuclear weapons, but till now there is no news of them having nuclear bombs. However, Iran is continuously trying to make nuclear bombs.
Iran-Israel Conflict If Israel and Iran go to war, how will it affect the world?
After the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyya, there can be a big war between Iran and Israel. The whole world is watching Iran to see when it will attack Israel to take revenge, so that another new war may start. In such a situation, if this war happens, what will be its impact on the world. We will talk about all these things today with the expert sir of BBC’s Security Advisor. My first question is that Ismail Haniyya has died, what will happen next in the world? See, an information has come under which the Security Council of Hamas has now declared Yaha Sinwar as the new chief of Hamas. Now whose turn is next? Let me tell you that Hamas and its organization had a Hamas unit inside the Gaza Strip, its political bureau chief was Yaha Sinwar and the military bureau chief was Mohammad Deif. They killed Mohammad Deif on 13 July, so now there is another member of its political bureau who is still hiding in some tunnel somewhere inside the Gaza Strip. He is hiding in Israel. It is believed that the Israeli hostess who is roaming around with them, it is not known where he is, whether he is alive or dead because he seemed to be the next available leader, he has also been appointed, so the net is point but the way Hamas is losing its commanders today, one after the other, I don’t think that Israel is going to stop in the next few days. Syria has killed a leader, now a leader has been killed in the West Bank, so it is continuously attacking, so I don’t think that Hamas has only two options right now, either it should hand over all the hostels that have children to Israel and somehow talk about peace, which is Israel’s first condition that to talk about peace, you will have to release all the hostels first, so there is only one issue, so I don’t think that he who is still in Gaza today, will probably survive, maybe he will survive for a few more days, a few weeks, tell me about his life, but the way Israel is looking aggressive that I don’t think any leader will survive if Hamas does not carry out such activities and does not surrender to Israel. Iran will take revenge. It has made its intentions of taking revenge clear. So how do you see these intentions of taking revenge? Iran hoisted its red flag on Iran’s Jama Masjid and took all these actions. But Iran has a big development that how will it attack Israel because Israel’s borders do not touch Iran. Who is in between them? You have Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, Syria and the rest of the countries are from all over the world. And in the last few days these countries have also announced that they will not allow any missile of Israel or Iran to fly over in any way. Similarly, they have denied space to Israel to attack Iran. It means that Iran will come underground. So when you are not connected to geography, then the only way to attack in any way is not visible. Now in such a situation, what can Iran do? Will it attack with a range missile or a drone, like it had attacked in the past few days, more than half of the 80% drones and missiles were destroyed on the way, so if it attacks next time as well, it will do the same thing, the American troops sitting in Saudi Arabia or Saudi Arabia has its own army, Jordan has its own army, all of them are capable of shooting them down, so it will not do it this way, now how will it do it, the biggest thing about this is that Iran has done one thing in the last three or four decades which is very important and which the whole world needs to understand, Iran has developed a lot of its proxies, exactly who is the proxy, what is Hamas, Iran provided funding to Hamas, Iran trained Hamas, gave them weapons and as far as some reports are concerned, it has also been said that the training of their terrorists for the attack of 7 October also took place in some part of Iran, it is the second biggest proxy.
Houthi rebels are one of the largest groups of soldiers.
They are administering Yemen. They have all kinds of weapons, ammunition, rockets, missiles, drones, everything. So you have a very big proxy. The third proxy is a very dangerous proxy, Hezbollah. Even though you call yourself a terrorist, it has a majority in the Lebanese parliament and is a part of the government. So Hezbollah can attack anytime. According to some confirmed reports, it has four to five lakh quarters. Another fourth proxy is the Palestine Islamic Air Force, which was based in the West Bank, but it just crashed outside. They operate seriously, but they also have four to five thousand men. Apart from this, there are some small proxies like Fateh inside Yes Bank, they are also anti-Israel. Other groups in Syria are government-supported groups, because Iran supports the current governor of Syria, Basharat. So, there could be involvement of them somewhere. Okay, Iran, as far as I can make my assessment, Let me tell you that if they have to attack Israel, they will not do it directly but will take the help of these proxies because Iran itself is not geographically connected to Israel. Geographic connection with big proxies results in you thinking that it is so powerful. Yes, it is very powerful. This group has a lot of rockets because I am talking about the same in the last few years. Now if you talk about Hadith, it is not a small group. It is the government of Yemen in itself. More than half of Lebanon is administering it. Similarly, Hezbollah is not such a well-established terrorist group. This group is such a political party which has majority in the Lebanese parliament. The government is with them. Similarly, the rest of our groups were so powerful. If we talk about power, then the total power of Hezbollah before the 7 October attack, the actual strength and power of Hezbollah and its military power is about 5 to 6 times that of Hamas. If these proxies attack together and under a coordinator, then I don’t think they can engage Israel in the last few years except for Israel. They are completely symmetrical and capable of automatic warfare. They can keep Israel isolated in the war for the next two, three or four years, which will not be good for the country.
There is the Russia-Ukraine war
then there is the Gaza war and now there is the Bangladesh crisis. Do you think the world is heading towards an economic crisis? Yes, the oil crisis has started all over the world. Its effect is visible on the world economy and the whole economic system of the world has been destroyed. It started after that. After that, the Houthis started attacking in the Red Sea. So the oil tankers that used to come directly or the transport tankers that used to come directly are now having to go via Africa. The cost is also increasing, the infection is also increasing. The movement of oil tankers is getting obstructed, so the oil consignment is not reaching easily. So if you look at all things holistically, somewhere, it is going to have a very harmful effect. We were thinking till now that South Asia has been left out, but it has started here. All these events are happening, there is fighting all over the world, there is bloodshed. So I don’t think there will be any impact on the world economy in the next one. For the last four-five years, a very big part of the world economy is facing a slowdown in real estate. The entire Chinese economy which was dependent on real estate is also a factor in this. There is a strong wave going on all over the world. So it is not just war, there are many events happening. China’s economy has collapsed and the rest of the world is ruined. So the economy is going to suffer a lot eventually and right now, the Islamic economy is already suffering. This is a matter of great concern. See, wherever you are raising the issue, the issue that is happening between Iran and Israel today, it is an Islamic trap. The whole basic of Hamas will be an Islamic trap.
What is happening in Bangladesh today. All the people who are doing activities in Bangladesh, all the protesters, so-called demonstrations, they are all for Islam. In Pakistan, you can see that terrorism is at its peak. There are attacks happening every day in Pakistan. Whether you have seen the attacks of Baloch insurgents or attacks of both, all the money comes from there. Look at the Middle East, there is a system in Islam for big businessmen, big oil tycoons, big business houses, they give Zakat, they give their every penny, donate and where is that money going, most of the time people don’t trace it, so what terrorists do is they create their own charitable organization, you will find charitable
organizations, for example, there is a group called Lashkar-e-Taiba, which takes funds through charitable organization, the same thing happened in Afghanistan when Afghanistan was conquered, they did it in different ways, all these concepts are very complex and the source of funding is from somewhere, the Middle East is fine, Islamic radicalism is funded from the Middle East, Qatar is one of the biggest funders, the big businessmen of Qatar do a lot of funding, a lot of funding comes from Bahrain, comes from Oman, comes from Saudi Arabia, comes from UAE and whatever big and small countries there are, funding comes from somewhere.
