Journalists and political commentator mosen abbas says the iran needs a very sophisticated defense mechanism because it is surrounded by us and israeli bases all around its borders. Iran has need for this military hardware and this defense of very highly technological nature, because they are up against every every border from afghanistan. Through to azerbaijan, through to iraq, and the gulf itself, iran is surrounded by the anglozionist imperialist military bases and uh and missiles themselves, but of course missiles is just one aspect, the Standing Army amounts to at least million personnel in itself, so huge numbers, theyve also advanced in terms of naval power, which theyve been flexing their muscles on over the last kind of year or so. Particularly uh with what i would describe as unconventional uh naval power as well as the conventional so the most unconventional being see boats which are now armed with with very sophisticated missile capability which is a threat even the self fleet of the americans which is based out there in the persian gulf in bahrain and and other ports. The bottom line is that iran has solution to virtually everything that the americans and their their Atlantic Partners have in terms of their belligerant efforts to dominate that part of the world.

The Anglican Church in south africa says a decision to declare israel apartied entity bears historical significance to its own struggle against such discriminatory laws. The south africa has seen intensified efforts to isolate israel with the governments already downscaling diplomatic ties as hasan syria reports. Motivated by a consistent campaign of the late antiapartite leader and former Anglican Archbishop desmond 2 2, the Anglican Church has now resolved to officially classify israel apartate regime. It aligns with decision by the south African Council of churches, which has long been critical of the zionist regime and its oppressive doctrine. The archbishop of the Anglican Church reverend tabo mahoba who is currently at the vatican said an audio message that remaining silent on the continued oppression of the Palestinian People cannot be tolerated. Our hearts ache for our Christian Brothers and sisters in palestine, whose numbers include anglicans, but are rapidly declining. People of all faiths in south africa have both a deep understanding of what it is to leave under oppression as well as experience of how to confront and and overcome unjust rule. In its resolution, the church goes to lengths to underscore that solidarity visits must be carried out to palestine, and particular efforts must be made to engage with the church in alkuds and ordinary Palestinian Christians to learn the true extent of their suffering under israeli occupation. It acknowledges that until now when christians do visit all goods, they often overlook the palestinian reality, and in some instances are even taken on all expenses paid propaganda trips by the zionist regime. The fact that its a birthplace of jesus christ. I think the question of language is very important and the statement makes point of when pilgrimages are conducted from us the south africans to jerusalem, then um the fact the name of palestine or palestine is never mentioned, its always israel, and yet in jesus day it would. Being palestine. While the Anglican Church has taken steps to talk about palestine, it hopes the resolution identifying israel as an apartite regime, will overcome the apathy, which it says still prevails within the christian community. The Anglican Churchs decision comes ahead of an International Conference on apart rate israel in south africa later this year. The Dutch Reform Church is also expected to take a similar decision later this month, further emphasizing the. The Palestinian People. Hasan city press tv, cape town.
