Asalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
Let's talk about Iran.
Let's talk about Iran.
Fantastic, okay.
Do you support Iran?
Okay, well let me answer your question.
Iran was attacked on April the 1st, right?
It was attacked, the embassy of Iran was
attacked in Syria by Israel.
After that, on the first occasion, they then
sent missiles and drones, correct?
Now my question to you is, does Iran
have a right to defend itself?
And if so, what is a proportionate response?
Because you see, I've been getting, I've been
having a moral quandary about the issue.
Er, Piers Morgan, what's a proportionate response for
Iran?
I'll tell you what I think about Iran.
I think Iran is an unbelievably nefarious place,
which has been fuelling Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah,
for many years, with a joint ideology that
they want to eradicate Israel in any way
they can.
So I think Iran is one of the
most despicable regimes in the world.
I also think that right now, the Iranian
regime is in serious danger of- You
look completely discombobulated.
What do you mean?
You look dishevelled.
I'm telling you what I think of Iran.
I'm asking you, do they have a right
to defend themselves?
Do you think they have a right to
defend themselves?
Both of you can answer the question.
Do they have a right to defend?
They were attacked.
The sovereign nation was attacked.
My question is, does it have a right
to defend itself?
Iran has been fuelling attacks on Israel now
for, what, 40 years?
I've been having a moral quandary about this.
What?
I've been having a moral quandary about Iran.
Have you?
Yeah, moral quandary.
Yes.
Moral quandary.
I don't know.
Do they have a right to defend themselves?
And if so, what is a proportionate response?
You're supporting Iran, to be clear.
I'm asking you- No, I'm not supporting.
I'm not supporting.
I'm antithetical to many of these organisations for
my own purposes.
But my question is- Do you support
the Iranian regime?
Not unconditionally, but I support their right-
What conditions do you agree with them about?
Their right to defend themselves.
Do you believe they have a right to
defend themselves?
No, because they're a terrorist.
Oh, so they don't have a right to
defend themselves?
Iran does not have a right to defend
itself.
They do, but they're not the ones-
So what is a proportionate response?
They're not the ones- What's a proportionate
response?
OK.
No, I asked- Can I answer you?
You asked this question to the people.
You're just going to keep talking.
Can I answer you?
What's a proportionate response?
A proportionate response to Iran is to stop
them trying to destroy Israel through their proxies.
Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas.
It's what they've been trying to do for
many years.
What is a proportionate response of Iran after
the embassy was smashed and destroyed in Syria
and 16 people were killed?
What's a proportionate response?
Well, what about the proportionate response to everything
Iran's done?
Which is against the Vienna Conventions.
What about the response to everything Iran has
been doing?
What did Iran do to Israel?
Who did they kill?
Who did they- Because they never killed
anybody in Iran.
Who did they- How deluded are you
about it?
No, no.
Excuse me.
Hold on.
Which Israeli civilian have Iran successfully targeted?
Give me one name, please.
You don't think Iran's doing a response of
any Israeli civilian dying?
I'm not.
I'm asking you to edify me.
What about the way they funded Hamas?
I can't give you- You can both
edify me.
I can't give you some names in Israel.
Iran in particular.
I'm not talking about Hamas.
We've spoken about Hamas at length.
We're talking about Iran.
I can't give you some specific names.
We're talking about Iran's old news.
You're talking about Hamas.
Let's let Alan respond.
