This edition of Spotlight focused on Iran’s latest warning that it would respond firmly to any act of aggression by the US or Israel. The program featured Hussain Shafiei, a member of Britain’s Workers’ Party, joining from Tehran, and writer Henry Hakamaki from Tatarstan, Russia.

Shafiei said Iran’s adversaries would never succeed in forcing the country into submission, stressing that the nation’s history has demonstrated its resilience and ability to withstand foreign aggression and pressure.

Hakamaki, meanwhile, argued that it no longer makes sense for Tehran to remain in the NPT, pointing out that Iran has consistently complied with the treaty’s strict non-proliferation requirements while continuing to face military threats and aggression from its adversaries.
