American writer E. Michael Jones said in an interview aired on January 1-2, 2023 on Channel 4 (Iran) that the most “fundamental” problem in American politics is Jewish “control” over the government and foreign policy. He said former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are controlled by the Jews and by Jewish money, and that the “Holocaust narrative” is the “fundamental myth of the American empire.” He also said that the “Jewish revolutionary spirit” of U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland is the reason that the U.S. has been “provoking” the war in Ukraine, and he said that both of them are viewed as “always right” because they supposedly had relatives who died in the Holocaust. Jones said that Paul the Apostle had far preceded Hitler in saying that the Jews are the enemies of the “entire human race”, and he claimed that the Jews have caused the birth rate in Germany to “collapse” by implementing “ruthless forms of social engineering” as revenge against the Germans after World War II. He also said that in the United States, the Jews and the Protestants promote “covert warfare” by means of “population control” against the Catholics. He added that abortion is a “Jewish sacrament” and that since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the Jews have been saying that abortion is a “fundamental” religious value for them.The MEMRI Lantos Project exposes anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial in the Middle East region and Middle Eastern communities in the West with the aim of supporting legislation and educating media and the general public.

Iranian political analyst Emad Abshenas said on a December 27, 2022 show on Al-Hurra TV (U.S.) Iran has not yet retaliated for Israeli airstrikes against Iranian targets in Syria because it is waiting for “permission” from the Syrian regime. He also said that Iran supplies weapons to Hizbullah, Gaza, and Palestinians in the West Bank, and that Israel is therefore surrounded by the “resistance” and by Iran’s allies. Abshenas said that if Israel “makes a mistake” and attacks inside Iran, Iran will retaliate directly against Israel.

Ayatollah Abbas Kaabi, a member of Iran’s Guardian Council, said at an event organized by the Iranian embassy in Baghdad that the attacks against American forces in Iraq that have been taking place since the January 2020 U.S. assassination of IRGC Qods Force Commander Qasem Soleimani and PMU deputy leader Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis will continue “with force and determination.” He also said that the “martyr” Imad Mughniyeh, a senior Hizbullah leader killed in 2008, will only be avenged by the liberation of Jerusalem, that the “martyr” Qasem Soleimani will only be avenged by the collapse of America and Zionism, and that the “martyr” Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis will only be avenged by the end of the occupation in Iraq and the region. Ayatollah Kaabi’s speech was uploaded to the PMU’s YouTube account on December 30, 2022.
