The title of the clip is "ONE VENGEANCE FOR ALL", and it displays footage of various eras claiming that Iran wants to avenge all the people who were hurt by the U.S. and Israel.

For instance, Tehran first depicted a Native American man, then a child holding his little brother from Hiroshima, Japan, men from Yemen and Vietnam, in addition to depicting a little girl on Epstein Island, and then there were scenes from Palestine and Gaza. 

Furthermore, Iranian military leader Qasem Soleimani and Iran's former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appeared in the clip.
