Iran's Operation True Promise 2 was an extraordinary attack that dealt a crushing destructive blow, one that took the smile away from Israeli PM Netanyahu and other Israeli officials. It was Iran's answer to Israel's targeted assassinations of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Haasan Nasrallah, and senior IRGC commander General Abbas Nilforushan.

Iran's membership in different trade blocs was one of the highlights of the 13th administration headed by Ebrahim Raeisi. But what will the candidates do to expand on that achievement? There needs to be an economic team to make sure that the fruits of that hard labor come to fruition.

The genocidal war on the Gaza Strip has shocked the world. And just as there couldn't be a chance that a more shocking incident could take place, it did. The Nuseirat Refugee camp massacre showed the sheer brutality of the Israeli regime, not just backed by the US but with the active participation of the US. Kaveh is here to give us the details.

Explainer: The impact of Iran's Operation True Promise in the region and beyond

The Israeli regime is going through some major challenges these days. In addition to a battered war economy and unrest in the Occupied Lands, the regime forces are suffering not only in the Gaza Strip, but also in the Northern Occupied Land from Hezbollah fighters and other resistance groups operating out of Southern Lebanon. Kaveh joins us now to tell us more.

As Iran mourns the loss of two of its beloved officials, the person filling one of the two vacant positions has been announced. The appointment of a new foreign minister is a sign of how quickly the Islamic Republic is making sure there are no delays in carrying out the duties of the foreign ministry position. Amir-Abdollahian's profile and who is filling his shoes, is coming up next.

Iran's Operation True Promise was a retaliation for the Israeli regime's terrorist attack against Iran's consulate in Damascus, Syria. It was the first time that Iran used a variety of its military assets, including drones, missiles, and radar hacking technology, to target its intended objectives with pinpoint accuracy. Let's examine Iran's military capabilities and why its operation was successful.

Students across universities in the US are rising up for Palestinians and against Israel, mainly due to the U.S.-Israel genocidal war waged against Palestinians. But one group which has also joined in on these pro-Palestinian solidarity protests are Jewish people. A few hundred gathered near high-ranking US Senator Chuck Schumer's residence, to protest against the recent US military aid to the Israeli regime. How large are these Jew majority protests anyway?

As the US-Israeli genocidal war drags on, it's not just Palestinian civilians who are bearing the brunt of this brutality. Israeli regime forces are also suffering casualties. And according to field reports, that's because the al-Qassam Brigades has been using new equipment, explosives, and creative tactics to defeat its enemy. Kaveh joins us to tell us what some of these weapons are all about.

The student protests at universities in the US and beyond shows that this group of people will do what they can to stop the genocide taking place in Gaza. Whether it works or not remains to be seen. But student activism for Palestine goes way back. So does the Israeli lobby's influence in US politics when it comes to Israel.
