i am not questioning about iranian nationalism . iranians love thier country like any other and they will sure gather on death of thier general by USA . but its not mean they are agree to divert billions of dollars on proxy wars of ME . almost every country in ME have public sick of these dirty wars now .

Yet, Soleimani was not a random general. Many generals were martyred over the years, none however attracted such unbelievable crowds. And, what distinguishes sardar Soleimani is precisely the fact that he was head of the Quds Force, the IRGC's special branch for operations outside national borders, in other terms, he was leading all of Iran's military interventions in West Asia. He was literally the symbol and incarnation of these foreign operations if there was one. So people flocked to honor him because the overwhelming majority is supportive of these efforts, and understands that these were defensive endeavors for Iran - not wars of imperial expansion nor vain, avoidable power politics. Iranians realize that if the Islamic Republic didn't intervene in Syria and Iraq, today they would have had to fight off "I"SIS and/or similar terrorists on these very streets they so massively took on that memorable day.

The mainstream of media(west) margined this kind of news, while promote news of inner chaos of Iran.

 

[Falcon29]

$70 million over 10 years is shit funding. Won't even get you 1,000 grad rockets. Meanwhile Iran gives tens of billions in weopons and weapons funding to Shia militias to kill Muslims. It should be noted Iran forces Hamas and Islamic Jihad to make such statements, but never asks Houthis to make them. Recently Iran has literally paused it's minor funding to Hamas because they wouldn't make statements in support of Houthi sectarian terrorists that curse the Sahabah and Caliphs Abu Bakr and Umar. If Iran wasn't a sectarian regime it would supply Hamas with something meaningful and not request it to support genocidal regimes and sectarian Muslim killing terrorists in the region. It all does is gave very small funding for Hamas to purchase raw materials for it's rockets that it's engineers produce on their own. And majority of Hamas military budget comes from Hamas budget itself. Hamas is a product of it's ideology and movement, and it's men. Iran has little to no role in Hamas development anymore. It actually funds smaller group with more.

then game will be over with in few days while thier interest is gaza keep boiling

What does your country do for Palestinians? you do not even send them a single bullet but you have the audacity to bad mouth Iran here who even the Palestinians themselves thank after every time Israel attacks them.

............................

If it were up to me I would not even give them a single pin. They have worked against us and will do it again. In international politics, I would rather trust Israel more than homeless backstabbers. We should learn from the Saudis and Arab league on how not to get involved in others matters for our own sake. Israel wants to deal with its problems, so be it. We are neither Levantine nor israelis.

What does your country do for Palestinians? you do not even send them a single bullet but you have the audacity to bad mouth Iran here who even the Palestinians themselves thank after every time Israel attacks them.

Their country do as much as your country is doing recently. Your country is giving tiny amount over 10 years against Israel with $25 billion military budget. Your country is selling arms to Myanmar and Ethopia(Israel ally), and gives Hizb-Allat $2 billion a year, and Houthi's $2 billion, and Iraqi militias $3 billion. All to kill Muslims. Meanwhile cutting off ties with Hamas and disrespecting Hamas which is a crown on your Muslim child-killing terrorist heads. If it wasn't for Hamas there wouldn't be a bullet fired on Israel. And your terrorist axis would be fought against by whole region. You didn't fire one missile at Israel since revolution for 43 years. But, you killed and fought Afghani Taliban, so they fought you back and killed your diplomats. And you killed and fought your Iraqi neighbors, and brought US to invade and occupy Iraq for you twice. And brought US and Russia to assault and occupy Syria for you. Your country is doing nothing but killing Muslims. You have whole Hizb-Allat on border with Israel and whole of Syriaa and never direct any fire towards Israel. It's always Holy Hamas on its own. Instead you are firing missiles and deadly weapons to Muslim nations to kill Muslims. You are a fraud.

If it were up to me I would not even give them a single pin. They have worked against us and will do it again. In international politics, I would rather trust Israel more than homeless backstabbers. We should learn from the Saudis and Arab league on how not to get involved in others matters for our own sake. Israel wants to deal with its problems, so be it. We are neither Levantine nor israelis.

You are giving nothing and you need Hamas much more than Hamas need you. Hamas is just using you to force a three front war and drag Hezbollah into conflict in next round of fighting. Hamas is assembling an arsenal in Lebanon for this reason, against Iran and Hezbollah will. Your regime is literally a terrorist Majoosi anti-Islam regime without Hamas. I wish your country come out and call Hamas Wahabi and cut off ties with them. Instead of being cowards and showing disgust in private. Come out and say it in public.

What kind of joke is $70 million over 10 years. Weapons/materials are very expensive to come by in Gaza and black market in Egypt because of scarcity and difficulty of smuggling. It does nothing. It's essentially zero funding. Hamas funding is from its own budget. Their military wing literally ask people to donate in bitcoin, so much for 'ally' Iran and support its giving. That terrorist OP is trying to make it out like Iran is on good terms with them and developed their whole military.

Hamas plans to continue using cryptocurrencies for operations

Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz signed an order to seize more than $800,000 on cryptocurrency on its way to Hamas, but a spokesperson for the movement said that the Israeli announcement was exaggerated.

Ismail Haniyeh: Iran gave $70 million, and we built rockets​

01/06/2022

Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’s political bureau, says the Islamic Republic of Iran paid $70 million to the Palestinian movement to build its “deterrent force” against Israel, and that rockets produced by Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip were part of that ” strategic power”.

In an interview with Al-Jazeera Arabic on Sunday, January 2, he named a few plans of the militant group’s, from digging offensive tunnels to attack Israel to construction of other military weapons, and said that Iran’s financial assistance to the militant group changed the military arrangement in Gaza.

In a telephone call and message to Hamas leaders inside and outside Hamas in early December 2017, Qassem Soleimani stressed that “all facilities are at Hamas’ disposal.” In January of last year, Mahmoud al-Zahar, a senior Hamas official, praised Qassem Soleimani, saying that members of the group received $22 million in cash during a trip to Tehran on Soleimani’s orders. He said: “And we could not carry more than that, because each suitcase could only hold 40 kilograms.”

Ismail Haniyeh, who spoke to Al-Jazeera television, continued: “Our relations with Iran are not a new issue and have been stable for the past 30 years, and we have been represented in Iran since 1990.” Iran has provided financial support for the resistance’s defense strategy, and the long-range missiles we have had since 2009 belong to Iran.

Ismail Haniyeh and Khaled Mashaal, the former head of Hamas’ political bureau, and a number of other leaders of the Brotherhood Islamist movement have lived and worked in Doha, Qatar, for years under the auspices of the emir.

Iran Funded Hamas Missiles With $70 Million, Haniyeh Says ​

1/3/2022

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has revealed that the Iran paid a total of $70 million to the Palestinian group to help it develop missiles and defense systems.

During an interview with Al-Jazeera Haniyeh said different countries help in financing the group, but Iran is the biggest donor.

The head of Hamas political bureau added that thanks to the aid from Iran, his group managed to have a comprehensive defense strategy in its confrontation with the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip last year.

He was referring to the two-week outbreak of violence in May 2021 that was called operation “Sword of Jerusalem” by Hamas but dubbed operation “Guardian of the Walls” by Israel.
Haniyeh said that the operation was “a rehearsal for the liberation of the Palestinian territories from the occupation", adding that it "completely paralyzed” Israel as their missiles even reached targets in Tel Aviv, which meant failure of the Iron Dome anti-missile defense system.

Hamas reportedly fired more than 4,000 rockets and missiles at Israel, most of which were intercepted by the Israeli Iron Dome defense system.

He said that Hamas is not fighting a proxy war for Iran, stressing they are in it together against “the common Israeli enemy.”

Haniyeh added that Iran backs the Shiite groups within its framework of support for the “axis of resistance” in the region, noting that Tehran also supports Sunni movements against Israel.

[Xerxes22]

@Falcon29 Mr Holy Hamas, have u seen this?

yes we also need these weapons what we were doing to get 70mn or weapons ?

people of iran are also tired of proxy wars and money wasted on these wars sir . iranian upraises are increasing with time .

Worry about ur own country. You don't represent the establishment nor the Moderates so you saying this about the Iranian people and "what they want" is totally ridiculous. If u wanna highlight people who don't wanna fight Zion and imperialists you can point to alot of people inside ur own country ,so do it advertising for them instead.

 

[SalarHaqq]

Their country do as much as your country is doing recently.

The articles in the opening post are literally just three to four weeks old. This "Iran scaled back her support" slogan is losing its persuasion power, as Palestinian Resistance leaders keep praising and praising Iran with no end in sight.

and gives Hizb-Allat $2 billion a year,

The actual amount should be about five to ten times less. Avoid making numbers up without a shred of evidence.

and Houthi's $2 billion,

just a random imaginary figure.

and Iraqi militias $3 billion.

Again an invented number.

All to kill Muslims.

They defend(ed) against people who attacked them. That's permitted in Islam.

Meanwhile cutting off ties with Hamas and disrespecting Hamas which is a crown on your Muslim child-killing terrorist heads.

Sure, ties were cut off but Hamas leaders keep visiting Tehran and praising Iran...

If it wasn't for Hamas there wouldn't be a bullet fired on Israel.

If it wasn't for Iran, the Palestinian Resistance would be in dire straits.

And your terrorist axis would be fought against by whole region.

Go transmit that advise to Hamas then. They're acting exactly opposite to your narrative.

You didn't fire one missile at Israel since revolution for 43 years.

But assisted those locals under occupation who do.

But, you killed and fought Afghani Taliban, so they fought you back and killed your diplomats.

Iran did not fight the Taleban in the 90's either, local Iranian allies did. Let's cut the double-standards right here. If Iran didn't fire missiles directly at Isra"el" but countered it through allies, then the same applies to Iran's conflict with the Taleban in the 1990's: no missiles were fired by Iran at the Taleban either.

Also from what we know, the Iranian diplomats at Mazare Sharif weren't martyred by the Taleban. Sipahe Sahaba terrorists from Pakistan were the likely culprits, as explained by the sole survivor of the event, who stated the Taleban were positioned much farther away and it couldn't have been them.

Also during the past two decades, Iran and the Taleban mended ties. Iran supported the Taleban militarily against US occupation forces, Taleban leaders such as Mullah Mansour were residing in Iran. Today Iran-Afghanistan relations are near flawless.

And you killed and fought your Iraqi neighbors,

After Saddam ordered an invasion of Iran. Legitimate defense, and a duty in Islam. Who in their right mind will blame the victim of an aggression for the subsequent violence?

and brought US to invade and occupy Iraq for you twice.

Nothing of the sort happened. That's simply a fabrication.

And brought US and Russia to assault and occupy Syria for you.

Incorrect. The US intervention in Syria was entirely directed against Iranian interests, given that Washington is occupying Syrian territory and putting opponents of Damascus in charge there.

As for Russia, legitimate initiative by Iran and fair play too. Considering that the insurgency in Syria enjoyed direct, full spectrum support from 80+ countries, including the entire west and all its regional allies.

Your country is doing nothing but killing Muslims.

Counter-factual assertion, goes against established history.

You have whole Hizb-Allat on border with Israel and whole of Syriaa and never direct any fire towards Israel.

Because Lebanon has been liberated to over 99,99% from zionist occupation by Iranian-backed Hezbollah. That's why.

Palestine on the other hand is still occupied right now and Hamas is never directing any fire towards so-called Isra"el", unless the zionists commit some massacre against Palestinian civilians. That and similar cases are the only scenarios under which Hamas would use its weapons. While almost the entirety of their country is under occupation.

Double-standards will never work.

It's always Holy Hamas on its own. Instead you are firing missiles and deadly weapons to Muslim nations to kill Muslims. You are a fraud.

Hamas have a different opinion. I trust their spokespersons and leaders over anonymous internet users.

You are giving nothing and you need Hamas much more than Hamas need you.

If this were true, Hamas would cease these statements, would cease accepting any help from Iran. Either that, or they would be a bunch of liars exhibiting structurally un-Islamic behaviour for breadcrumbs. I will go with the former explanation: the allegation that they don't need Iran's aid is simply inaccurate.

Hamas is just using you to force a three front war and drag Hezbollah into conflict in next round of fighting. Hamas is assembling an arsenal in Lebanon for this reason, against Iran and Hezbollah will.

Provide evidence for this claim.

Your regime is literally a terrorist Majoosi anti-Islam regime without Hamas.

Reported for sectarianist/racist slur. And the user is accusing the Islamic Republic of Iran of being a sectarianist polity.

I wish your country come out and call Hamas Wahabi and cut off ties with them. Instead of being cowards and showing disgust in private.

Show evidence for this claim. You're trying to suggest that you're privy to "private" conversations of Iranian statesmen... Is this a joke?

And all this drivel can easily be projected upon Hamas: if they dislike Iran, if they don't need Iran, then they ought to stop thanking Iran. Truth is that none of these allegations are rooted in reality to start with.

What kind of joke is $70 million over 10 years.

Where does it say over 10 years?

Weapons/materials are very expensive to come by in Gaza and black market in Egypt because of scarcity and difficulty of smuggling. It does nothing.

That was contradicted verbatim by Hamas leader Haniyeh, as quoted in the article, since he clearly described Iran's assistance as having altered the military situation in Gaza. Go take the issue up with him. In the meantime, as far as reasonable people are concerned, Haniyeh is a credible enough source.

Their military wing literally ask people to donate in bitcoin, so much for 'ally' Iran and support its giving. That terrorist OP is trying to make it out like Iran is on good terms with them and developed their whole military.

Reported for unprovoked insult.

Yes, and I furnished concrete evidence. Iran's support for the Palestinian Resistance is multi-pronged and not limited to funding. It includes arms transfers, training (including of engineers), transfer of technology, and more. It's enough to listen to what Palestinian leaders themselves are saying.

@WebMaster @Foxtrot Alpha @waz @PakSword

Dear sirs, the quoted user just called me a "terrorist" for no reason. I have been courteous and respectful of forum rules all along. Also I completely ignored him, but he quoted my post. Else I would not have cared to engage him. The user also resorts to anti-Iranian sectarianist/racist slurs ("majoosi"), which is against forum rules too. Please regulate this behavior. Thanks in advance.

 

[SalarHaqq]

No, he is mentioning an old funding package.

Show us the quote then. Also, if Iran "cut off" ties, why is he coming out and mentioning past Iranian assistance at this point in time?

Which is incredibly small amount. Do you know how much it cost to get one grad rocket into Gaza? Palestinian leaders are forced to make statements praising Iran or else Iran cuts the small funding.

I thought they don't need that funding. Make up your mind: either Hamas doesn't depend on Iranian assistance at all (financial and otherwise), in which case Iran wouldn't have any leverage to "force" them to make any statements... and in which case they'd be quite honorless for lying this much to the public. Or it is the case that Iranian backing happens to be rather instrumental. Which is what I would subscribe to.

Meanwhile Iran commands Houthi's to remain quiet and claim they make their own weapons.

They largely do. Yemen had a defence industry prior to this war, and you can't ship ballistic missiles in there. For the bulkier weapons systems, Iran provides technical assistance and parts.

You are stupid, Hezbollah is a big organization and is deployed all across region by Iran. It has a budget of $2 billion annually from Iran. You are a kid that doesn't know what he's talking about.

This isn't how it works. You gave a concrete figure, the burden's on you to substantiate it with evidence. Which you've failed at. In other terms, you made these figures up. And Hezbollah has essentially sent token numbers of advisers across the region when needed, not really massive amounts.

You don't know nothing about Islam, if it was allowed to have religious discussion here I would show everyone that. Your sect elevates non-Prophets above Prophet's, and your sect permits anal sex, shirk, and has no narrations about the Dajjal. Because he comes from Iran.

Reported for sectarianist drivel.

And yes, you would show everyone how Islam teaches not to defend yourself when subjected to military aggression (like the war initiated by Saddam against Iran in 1980)... Of course.

Iran cut ties off in the past, and asked Hamas to come back.

We're discussing what's going on now. And ties weren't entirely cut off at any point in time, as again highlighted by Haniyeh in the opening articles.

Without Hamas, Iran is a terrorist sectarian regime declaring war on Islam for the Jews. If Iran has the guts let it publicly denounce Hamas and watch what we will do to you. Come try it.

Just delirious.

Nonsense, Hamas existed for decades before Iran first formed ties with it in 2006. Hamas is a gov't and has other sources of funding. And had lots of support from Muslim brotherhood elements around the world.

It would seem you're not familiar with the history of Hamas (or Hamas-Iran relations) yet want to lecture people on the subject.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karine_A_affair

This famous vessel filled with Iranian-supplied arms destined for Gaza was seized in 2002 by the zionists.

So, what exactly are you trying to prove?

Rest of your post is spam garbage. Hamas military wing asking for cryptocurrency donations is proof of this farce of Iranian funding to Hamas.

And what kind of logic is this? Just because they are making efforts to diversify their sources of funding, which is a rational move, it doesn't mean Iranian support is irrelevant. The same goes for every Iranian ally, from Hezbollah to the Iraqi PMU and so on, they all try to diversify their funding. Better to have potential alternatives, even when there's a loyal ally helping you out.

Hamas is surviving off of popular support, not because of Iran. Iran itself cannot protect its allies from anything. If it wasn't for Russia and US, Iranian allies in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon would have ceased to exist in 2014. Hamas would survive on other hand.

Apparently you didn't care to research how deeply rooted Iranian allies are in their home societies. As exemplified by Hezbollah, a movement held dear by Lebanese citizens across sectarian lines due to its defence of Lebanese territorial integrity and sovereignty against invaders and in particular the zionist entity. And a political party with elected members in parliament and sometimes in government as well.

You are living in delusions and propaganda you sectarian terrorist moron.

Reported the renewed insult.

And for your information PLO invented asymettric warfare before you. It was PLO firing rockets on Israel before anyone else. You literally copied PLO model from the 70's and now claimed we learned it from you. What a stupid brainwashed kid you are.

I made this claim? Are you sure? And the PLO didn't invent asymmetric warfare either. It's way older than that. Millennia old, in fact. But having acquired a high level of proficiency at it, what Iran is doing is that it is transferring this and other types of knowledge to partners and allies.

Stop lying you brainwashed kid, Iran funding to Hamas is minimal.

Stop this offensive tone. I will not converse by means of insults.

If the allegation was true, then Hamas wouldn't have any reason to hide it from the world, would they? You don't constantly go out and claim the opposite of what you think in exchange for some "minimal" assistance.

In fact 70% of Hamas military wing budget comes from Hamas tax revenue and other sources of funding.

How do you know? If it's an estimate, then present it as such, not as definitive fact.

There is no such thing as 'arm transfers' in Gaza. These are all Palestinian rockets.

Yes, Palestinian Dehlavieh ATGM's. Palestinian anti-material sniper rifles that look like exact copies of the standard Iranian type.

Even most of the rocket types are either imports from Iran or manufactured locally with Iranian technical input, as per Hamas officials themselves.

You are more than welcome to show me one example of 'arms transfers'. Anyone can make cheap homemade artillery rockets.

In the past I have shared detailed sources documenting the nature and type of these rockets, not all of which can be cobbled together in a kitchen or backyard, and the filiation of these with Iran. I have also cited Hamas.

And there's more than merely rockets.

Even poor militias in Syria have these kind of rockets with ranges of 70-90km. The engineers are Hamas's engineers. There is no 'transfer of technology'.

I trust Hamas spokespersons and independent military experts over your interpretation, sorry.

You don't even know what that is. Besides the two or three drones you gave them there is nothing 'transfer of technology' you dumb kid. Show proof of one of these so called 'tech transfer'.

Read professional military analyses, and listen to Hamas officials.
