This is not just basic security. Iran is having to provide security against any possible terrorist attacks organized by some of the most vicious and seasoned organizers of terrorism on earth: the CIA and Mossad.

Jews aren't allowed to charge interest on other Jews, but allowed on Gentiles (non-Jew).
You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israelite, so that the LORD your God may bless you in everything you put your hand to in the land you are entering to possess.
[Deuteronomy 23:20]
My guess is no usury in this case because you gotta be a special type of nutter to choose a home in unsafe occupied lands, and the fact that all these events were hosted in synagogues (i.e. religious audience).
The more of his videos that I watch, the more horrified I become. The conditions that the students are living in are pathetic. Overcrowded dorms, water disconnected for 3 days to weeks at a time, contaminated water (with OIL?!?), so fucking many wasps, flies and mosquitoes, people regularly getting sick, trash literally eveywhere, I could go on and on but holy shit this guy must have negative IQ to go to india to study abroad of all the countries he could have picked.
This is the toilet entrance. I tremble in fear of the conditions in the toilet.
I just came back to China recently and finally picked up one as well after visiting numerous phone vendors. What I got from talking to the store clerks is that the base Pura 70(256g storage) isn't being physically sold in any stores and you have to preorder on online platforms, but Pura 70 models with >256g storage are being physically sold in stores. Seems to be quite popular as some stores I visited only had the 1tb models remaining and others only had the white colour versions left (black seems to be the most popular).
That is to be expected, the first ones to go out of stock are the lower storage/RAM models. Realistically, most people don't need more than 256G of storage.
Even the Frenchies wouldn't have that much confidence in Rafale. These guys used to make the same claims about SU-30MKI (F22 Raptor of the East) until they got the reality check on 27th Feb.
USAF general:
"Hey IAF general. Our intelligence have observed that China has a 5:1 numerical advantage of J-20s against your Rafales in the region. This is quite concerning for us. Their J-20s, while not as good as our F-35s did still make our pilots sweat when they were confronted by those."
IAF Chief:
"What? There are more J-20s against our mighty Rafaels? I'm not worried saar! Those chinkis are doing it because they are afraid. Our Rafaels stands heads and shoulders above their J-20s and even your F-16s and F-35s saar! I'm not impressed by the J-20 and the entire chinki airforce. Only a few Rafaels, and the entire chinki airforce is already shaking in fear. Jai Hind!
USAF general:
"No you don't understand. Your Rafales are not 5th gen fighters! They won't fare well against the J-20s. You have no 5th gen fighters in your inventory. You cannot take on the PLAAF with what you have right now!"
IAF Chief:
"Don't question my intelligence, American! India is not your colony okay! Our Rafaels are actually 6th gen.... No... 10th gen fighters. We pay lots of money to buy them. They are more expensive than your lousy F-35s okay! They are the best fighters in the world."
USAF general:
"No, the Rafael is only a 4th gen fighter. Even the French are saying that it is. I just wonder why you guys paid so much for them. BTW, our F-35s are not lousy okay. They're awesome machines. You just don't know it yet because you guys have not flown them before."
IAF Chief:
"Me and my boys are the best pilots in da universe! Do you know our hero pilot Abhinandhan? He shot down three Pakistani F-16s and five JF-17s in a Mig 21. Jai Hind!"
USAF general:
"No he didn't shoot down any F-16s. There is no evidence that he shot down anything. What we do know was that he was shot down in his Mig instead, and you guys had to negotiate his return from Pakistan."
IAF Chief:
"No you IDIOT! Don't trust your lying media! We in India know what is the truth and the truth is...." Goes on and talks an epic story of India's supa-dupa victory over Pakistan in 2019.
USAF general:
Puts down the phone. "This guy is nuts. I feel like I'm talking to a school boy. Which idiot upstairs decided that India is our partner in QUAD? They are gonna get their asses kicked by the Chinese, or maybe even the Pakistanis. I don't want us to be the ones having to bail them out when they're in trouble."

Even taking the account given here at face value, by carefully over-matching IAF deployments in both quality and quantity, PLAAF was clearly signaling to the IAF that it retains escalation dominance. USN didn't send three carrier groups through the Taiwan Strait in 1996 because they were petrified of the PLA, but precisely because they were not, and wanted to remind the CCP of that.
It's one thing to get this kind of spin from nationalists, mainstream journalists, even less-informed government ministers playing to a crowd. But to hear the same sort of thing from the most senior uniformed members of the services is quite breathtaking. One has to imagine that at least some of these folks know when they are peddling bullshit, but evidently they feel they have to. Imagine the courage required to stand up and be the first to declare that the emperor has no clothes.

Rhetoric like this tends to be for domestic consumption, the level of intelligence of those messages has to match the average level of intelligence of it's intended target..... well, you get the picture
The funny thing is a lot of Indians do unironically think like that. I have no clue how they managed to get there via logic but somehow it did.
I guess that's why storytelling is such a big thing over there.
