[Islamic Republic of Iran] 0:011 secondIn the name of God, the compassionate and merciful colleagues.
0:055 secondsAt the outset, I must express our profound regret over the council's actions.
0:1212 secondsThis is a deeply regrettable day for the security council and for the international community.
0:1818 secondsToday's adoption is a serious setback to the council's credibility and leaves a lasting stain on its record.
0:2929 secondsToday's action represent a blatant misuse of the security council mandate in pursuit of the political agendas of
0:3737 secondsthe certain members. The very state responsible for the brutal war of aggration against my country. The regime
0:4444 secondsof the United States sits on the other sides of this chamber as president of the council, abusing its position while
0:5252 secondsobstructing every effort to bring an end to this barbaric war against the Iranian people and preventing the council from
1:001 minutefulfilling its charterbased responsibilities.
1:051 minute, 5 secondsLet me make it clear. This resolution is a manifest injustice against my country.
1:121 minute, 12 secondsThe main victim of a clear act of aggression.
1:151 minute, 15 secondsIt distorts the realities on the ground and deliberately ignore the root causes of the current crisis.
1:241 minute, 24 secondsThe very purpose of this biased and politically motivated text which was pushed by Israeli regime and the United
1:301 minute, 30 secondsStates is clear to reverse the roles and position of victims and aggressors. It rewards the regimes of the United States
1:391 minute, 39 secondsand Israel which have violated the UN charter and committed act of aggression.
1:451 minute, 45 secondsIn doing so, it establish impunity and send a wrong message to the international community, emboldening the aggressors to commit further crimes.
1:571 minute, 57 secondsAccordingly, we do not recognize the council's action today. We consider it unjust and unlawful,
2:052 minutes, 5 secondsinconsistent with the United Nation Charter International Law and an action that completely disregards the
2:122 minutes, 12 secondsestablished principles governing determination of act of aggression and breach of the peace.
2:212 minutes, 21 secondsMake no mistake, today it is Iran.
2:242 minutes, 24 secondsTomorrow it could be any other sovereign state. We thank Russia and China for their constructive efforts.
2:332 minutes, 33 secondsThose members that voted in favor of this resolution, particularly the European members of the council, including France, United Kingdom,
2:412 minutes, 41 secondsGreece, Denmark, and Latvia, have demonstrated that their repeated claims of defending the UN charter and the
2:482 minutes, 48 secondsprinciples of the international law are nothing more than empty words and hollow rhetoric. These members lacked even the
2:572 minutes, 57 secondsminimal courage to acknowledge the perpetrators of the aggression Israel and the United States while concerning
3:043 minutes, 4 secondsthe violation of the charter and international law and speaking of the international peace and security
3:123 minutes, 12 secondsby deliberately ignoring the flag violation of the most fundamental principles of the UN charter the
3:193 minutes, 19 secondsprohibition of the use of force. These members have once again shown that for them respect for the charter
3:273 minutes, 27 secondsinternational law is selective and subordinate to political agenda.
3:333 minutes, 33 secondsThe hypocritical and irresponsible conduct once again demonstrate that political consideration
3:403 minutes, 40 secondstake precedence over their professed commitment to international law and the UN charter. It is evident that these
3:493 minutes, 49 secondscountries are simply implementing political instruction from Washington rather than exercising independent
3:563 minutes, 56 secondsjudgment and decision. Regrettably, some members distorting the reality and facts on the grounds and made a cynical and
4:054 minutes, 5 secondsblatant attempt to blame Iran and accuse and condemn Iran while ignoring the root causes of the current situation.
4:144 minutes, 14 secondswhitewashing the US and Israeli heinous crimes and military aggression,
4:194 minutes, 19 secondsespecially the massacre of 170 schools girls in Minab as it was Iran that
4:264 minutes, 26 secondsinitiated this war. We categorically and strongly reject all the baseless and politically motivated accusation made by
4:354 minutes, 35 secondssome members against my country which are entirely devoid of any legal foundation. The aim of this accusation is clear. To distort the reality,
4:484 minutes, 48 secondsdeflate the attention of the international community from war crimes and crimes against humanity that have been and are being committed against the
4:574 minutes, 57 secondspeople of Iran by the Israeli regime and the United States. But the facts prove otherwise and speak loudly and clearly.
5:065 minutes, 6 secondsAgainst this backdrop, I now wish to emphasize the following points. First,
5:125 minutes, 12 secondsthe root cause of the current situation are clear and simple. On 28th February,
5:175 minutes, 17 secondsthe United States and Israel regime launched a military attack against the Islamic Republic of Iran in flagrant
5:245 minutes, 24 secondsviolation of article 2 paragraph 4 of the United Nation charter and the prelary norm prohibiting aggression.
5:325 minutes, 32 secondsThis is an illegal illegitimate.
5:365 minutes, 36 secondsAn unprovoked war began with the covertly terrorist assassination of the supreme leader of the Islamic Republic
5:435 minutes, 43 secondsof Iran, the highest official of the sovereign member state of the United Nations along with several senior state
5:515 minutes, 51 secondsofficials and resulted in the deaths and injures of thousands of civilians.
5:585 minutes, 58 secondsThis aggression was accompanied by coordinated attacks on both military and civilian infrastructure including
6:066 minutes, 6 secondsschools, hospitals, residential building, sport facilities, public service centers and relief facilities across the country.
6:156 minutes, 15 secondsThese act constitute grave violation of international law and serious breach of international humanitarian law.
6:236 minutes, 23 secondsSenior officials of the aggressor states, including the president of the United States and criminal prime minister of Israel, have publicly acknowledged and justified this attack,
6:346 minutes, 34 secondsthereby openly admitting responsibility for this unlawful act of aggression.
6:406 minutes, 40 secondsSince 28th February, the continued military strike by the United States and the Israeli regime have martyed more
6:466 minutes, 46 secondsthan 1,348 civilians, including women and children,
6:526 minutes, 52 secondsmore than 17,000 civilian injured and destroyed or damaged 19,734 civilian site.
7:037 minutes, 3 secondsThese include 16,191 residential homes, 1,617
7:107 minutes, 10 secondscommercial and service centers, 77 medical and pharmaceutical facilities,
7:187 minutes, 18 seconds65 schools and educational institution,
7:217 minutes, 21 seconds16 red cring and multiple energy infrastructure facilities. The scale and systematic nature of this attack clearly
7:307 minutes, 30 secondsconstitute war crimes and crime against humanity. Second,
7:367 minutes, 36 secondsin respond to this deliberate and unjustified aggression, the Islamic Republic of Iran has exercised and continues to exercise its inherent right
7:467 minutes, 46 secondsof self-defense in accordance with article 51 of the United Nation Charter to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
7:557 minutes, 55 secondsand in light of the failure of the United Nations Security Council to discharge its duty and responsibilities
8:028 minutes, 2 secondsunder the charter of the United Nation has undertaken necessary and proportionate defensive operation against the bases and facilities of the
8:118 minutes, 11 secondsaggressors in the region. Such action are lawful under international law and have been clearly and repeatedly warned
8:208 minutes, 20 secondsof in advance through various channels and at different levels. Our response is lawful, necessary and proportionate.
8:288 minutes, 28 secondsIran targets only the military objective of the aggressors. Our assessment indicate that some of these incident may
8:378 minutes, 37 secondshave resulted from interception by the United States defense system which could which could have diverted from intended military targets.
8:478 minutes, 47 secondsThird, since the beginning of the aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran by the United States and Israeli
8:548 minutes, 54 secondsregime, the aggressors have also used the territories and facilities of certain third states in the region to
9:019 minutes, 1 secondlaunch unlawful military attack under the fundamental principle of international law. States are prohibited
9:099 minutes, 9 secondsfrom knowingly allowing their territory to be used directly or indirectly to cause damage to other state. In
9:189 minutes, 18 secondsaddition, UN General Assembly Resolution 3314 of 14th December 1974 article 3F
9:269 minutes, 26 secondshas clearly categorized and recognized that the action of a state in allowing its territory which it has placed at the
9:359 minutes, 35 secondsdisposal of another state to be used by that state for perpetating an act of
9:419 minutes, 41 secondsaggression against the third state as an act of aggression. Furthermore, as a
9:489 minutes, 48 secondsprinciple of international law emanating from the juice coagans character of the prohibition of aggration, states must
9:579 minutes, 57 secondsundertake all necessary measures to prevent foreign armed forces based in the territory from committing act of
10:0510 minutes, 5 secondsaggression against other states and must not facilitate or support such act. It is evident that in the event of the
10:1410 minutes, 14 secondsbreach of this fundamental obligation, a state whose tretory has been used to carry out act of aggression against a
10:2110 minutes, 21 secondsthird state bears international legal responsibility including responsibility for reparation of direct and indirect damage resulting from such attacks.
10:3410 minutes, 34 secondsSimilarly, the measures claim to have been taken by the United Kingdom and certain other states outside the region
10:4110 minutes, 41 secondsunder pretext of a so-called right of individual or collective self-defense are devoid of any legal basis and are
10:4910 minutes, 49 secondswholly unjustifiable under international law. Such action may themselves constitute act of aggression. Moreover,
10:5910 minutes, 59 secondsthese states have deliberately refrained from identifying the original aggressors, namely the United States and
11:0711 minutes, 7 secondsIsraeli regime, and have in effect attempted to reverse the roles of victims and aggressor.
11:1411 minutes, 14 secondsFourth, the aggressors, in particular the United States, are under an obligation to make full reparation for
11:2211 minutes, 22 secondsthe injury caused by the ongoing violation against Iran and its citizens, including any damage incurred.
11:3011 minutes, 30 secondsFurthermore, the individual criminal responsibility of the president of the United States and any other US official
11:3711 minutes, 37 secondsand individuals involved in grave breach of international humanitarian law including for directing deliberate
11:4511 minutes, 45 secondsattack against civilians and launching willful attacks against civilian object is beyond doubt. Fifth, the Islamic
11:5511 minutes, 55 secondsRepublic of Iran remains committed to maintaining friendly relation with the countries in the Persian Gulf region
12:0212 minutes, 2 secondsbased on mutual respect, the principle of good neighborliness and respect for each other's sovereignty and territorial
12:1012 minutes, 10 secondsintegrity. Iran reemphasized that its defense operation targeting United States military bases and facilities in
12:1812 minutes, 18 secondsthe region are in no way against sovereignty and territorial integrity of the regional countries. Also, the
12:2512 minutes, 25 secondsIsraeli regime has succeeded in dragging the United States into a regional conflict. Iran relation with neighbors are rooted in longstanding historical,
12:3612 minutes, 36 secondscultural and geographical ties. Once the current tension diminish, Iran and its
12:4312 minutes, 43 secondsneighbors countries will inevitably return to their traditional relation of cooperation, mutual respect, and good
12:5112 minutes, 51 secondsneighborliness. Iran as a co-founder of the UN and responsible member has consistently honored its obligation
13:0013 minutesrespected international law and freedom of navigation in a straight of Hormos and the claim that Iran has closed the
13:0713 minutes, 7 secondsstrait is simply untrue. Meanwhile, Iran will never abandon its right under international law to protect its sovereignty, territorial integrity,
13:1813 minutes, 18 secondsnational and vital interest as it deems necessary. Sixth, the council must confront the real source of the threat
13:2613 minutes, 26 secondsto the regional and international peace and security and act without delay to stop this bloody war against the Iranian people. It must compel the aggressors,
13:3713 minutes, 37 secondsthe United States and Israel, to immediately seize all military attacks against Iran, including against
13:4413 minutes, 44 secondscivilians and civilian infrastructure and ensure full accountability for these grave violations of international
13:5313 minutes, 53 secondshumanitarian law and war crimes. Thank you.
14:0014 minutesThe representative of Iran made a statement.
14:0314 minutes, 3 secondsI give the floor to the representative of Israel. Thank you, Mr. President.

secondsSometimes to hear the voice of the future, we must go where silence speaks louder than anything else.
secondsSo, here we are at the end of a road that dissolves into the sea. That's where our story begins.
secondsThe world is like a vast canvas.
secondsInvisible lines shaping the course of our destiny. [music]
secondsCorridors like vital arteries connect the heartbeat [music] of the planet. A maze of ancient roots carrying tales of power and trade century after century.
minute, seconds[music]
minute, secondsSome places can't be understood just by looking at a map. You have to walk them,
minute, secondsbreathe the air, listen to the signs hidden in their assignment. Iran is one of those places.
minute, secondsI'm Pepscobar, geopolitical analyst. For decades, I followed countless trails where power moves from the west down to
minute, secondsthe east. But no land has gripped my mind the way Iran has.
minute, secondsRooted in history, yet always reaching toward the future. and a land that once again just might rewrite the rules of
minute, secondsthe game. So, here I am searching for something that's been largely overlooked and unheard.
minutes, secondsTan. Layers and layers of time.
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, secondsIt's imperative to come to the brain of [music] Iran's decision making where maps are drawn and pieces in the chessboard [music] are moved. Thran is
minutes, secondsnot just the capital of Iran. It may soon become the capital of a new Eurasian [music] project somewhere between Shanghai and St. Petersburg.
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, seconds[applause]
minutes, secondsAn official invitation to the S film festival brought me here.
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, secondsI am a geopolitical analyst. I'm very well known in the west in Russia.
minutes, secondsIran is a priceless ancient bridge between east and west. Around years ago, [music]
minutes, secondsthe Aminid Empire built a royal road, a km long route stretching from Souza to Sardis.
minutes, secondsThis grand artery symbolized mastery over land roots and facilitated trade between great empires.
minutesDuring the Cassanian era, the Silk Road,
minutes, secondsAsia's vital lifeline, ran through the heart of where else? Iran.
minutes, secondsCaravans of silk, spices, and precious goods moved along these paths, carrying with them cultures, ideas, and civilizations.
minutes, secondsIn the Middle Ages, Islamic empires expanded both land and sea roots.
minutes, secondsThe ports of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman became Iran's gateways to the world.
minutes, secondsToday, Iran sits at a strategic crossroads between the Caspian [music]
minutes, secondsSea, the Persian Gulf, and the overland roots of the Caucuses and Central Asia.
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, secondsIt is striving to transform the north [music] south and east west corridors into powerful interconnected arteries.
minutes, secondsRoots that carry not [music] only commerce but the shifting weight of regional and global geopolitics. [music]
minutes, secondsto make friends.
minutes, secondsI recognize the new generation when they are like you. You are where your work is.
minutes, secondsGo to conv if you can go to the south. Go to never really stayed in the house.
minutes, secondsFor quite a while, I sensed that something crucial was taking shape here.
minutes, secondsSomething you can't quite see with just your eyes.
minutes, secondsSo on the sidelines of the festival, I spoke with an Iranian journalist was also attracted to the concept of the root. Not one that sees Iran as a destination, but as a connector,
minutes, secondsredefining its role as a vital link.
minutes, secondsI know all this. I want to know the main challenges at the moment.
minutes, secondsIt's an economic one.
minutes, secondsWhat is missing from the Iranian point of view in terms of infrastructure from
minutes, secondsthe Caspian crossing Iran to Barabas and Shabah? What is missing?
minutes, secondsAnd the geopolitical story which is much bigger because it bypasses the west completely.
minutes, secondsThey they have to up their game. His ass.
minutes, secondsThank you, Ahmed. That was very good.
minutes, secondsI am a bit sad because it's much more complicated than I thought. A little later, I was introduced to Dr.
minutes, secondsHassan Abidini, a media and policy analyst.
minutes, secondsSalam salam. [laughter]
minutes, secondsVery nice to meet you. Thank you. Thank you for receiving me.
minutes, secondForeign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech.
minutes, secondsWhat's missing?
minutes, secondsWhat's the major problem for Iran in terms of finishing infrastructure and
minutes, secondslogistics from the Caspian
minutes, secondsSo okay example you have uh cargo coming from St. Petersburg to Astraan very
minutes, secondsfast. So arrives in Astrahan. He has to cross the Caspian to the northern Caspian Iranian port.
minutesCan this be done quickly in one year?
minutes, secondswithin a year.
minutes, secondsNew questions emerge, questions that could only be pursued up up close. So I had to hit the road and see for myself.
minutes, secondsIran was reshaping regional equations.
minutes, secondsSo I decided to start my journey from the north where some of the answers might still be hidden.
minutes, secondsRailos emerged from the mountains cutting into the green heart of the north.
minutes, secondsFrom Bandar Abbas to Rasht, this line is part
minutes, secondsof a much larger project, the International North South Transportation Corridor, INSTC.
minutes, secondsThis is not just a route. It's a complex chess board where geopolitics plays out,
minutes, secondsconnecting Iran and wider Eurasia. Here,
minutes, secondsthrough mist and forests, Iran reaches the Caspian Sea.
minutes, secondsThe North is way more than a border.
minutes, secondsIt's a vital gateway. Iran, Russia, the Caucuses, Central Asia, they all come together in one single frame.
minutes, secondsPorts like Anzali and Amiraabad are Iran's twin arms in the costume. With a
minutes, secondscombined capacity of over million tons annually, these ports serve as the lifeline for landlocked countries.
minutes, secondsKazakhstan, Russia, Turkmanistan, they all watch these lines closely.
minutes, secondsHere in Astada, Iran's rail network connects to the caucuses. Goods travel from St. Petersburg to Bundarabas in
minutes, secondsjust days, half the time of the classic Suez Canal route and at a fraction of the cost. Last year alone,
minutes, secondsover million tons of cargo crossed Iran's northern borders.
minutes, seconds% of Caspian Sea trade passes through Iran. Routes once overlooked have now become the pulse of modern global trade.
minutes, secondsThe North South corridor is not just a pathway, it's a battleground.
minutes, secondIran is no longer just a transit country. It has become a player, a root designer, an indispensable partner in
minutes, secondsshaping the future order of Eurasia.
minutes, secondsWe are about to get into the Caspian.
minutes, secondsThis is just a little branch, right? But then when you get to the Casper, you see everything that's a stable.
minutes, secondsThis is Bandar Anzali overlooking the Caspian Sea connected to Russia, Kazakhstan and Turk Manistan.
minutes, secondsThe volume of trade with Russia through the port grows every year. how these Russian imports will keep coming um to
minutesIran if preferentially navigating the Caspia from Astraan to
minutes, secondsBandar Atali now or through let's say a left of the Caspian uh
minutes, secondshighway plus railway that's a very very long story we will address it throughout our our our long story.
minutes, secondsWhat stands out most in Anzalei is the paradox between vast potential and some serious infrastructure limitations.
minutes, secondsIran's greatest need now is a real connection to the national and international networks,
minutes, secondsnot merely to ease exports, but to secure its geopolitical position on the Eurasian highway.
minutes, secondsThis port needs expansion. Number one, very, very important. Number two,
minutes, secondsum is Iran does Iran have enough uh cargo boats considering exports from
minutes, secondsRussia might skyrocket in the near future when the when the corridor will be fully functional. Nobody has this answer so far.
minutes, secondsTo find the answer, I sought out someone who has stood at the heart of Iran's border trade for years.
minutes, secondsFore.
minutes, secondsWell, our story gets much more complicated.
minutes, secondsYou see this beautiful railway here? It starts down there in Bander Abbas in the
minutes, secondssouth. It crosses Iran for over kilometers. And guess what happens?
minutes, secondsLet's say around from to kilometers from where we are at the moment. It stops just like that. [laughter]
minutes, secondsNo railway. And it's crazy because we are very close to the Caspian Sea. So this is one of the major logistical
minutes, secondsproblems of the international north south transportation corridor.
minutes, secondsYou have to build the rest of the railway of course to a Caspian Sea port.
minutes, secondsSo how you going to do it? And this is one of the major problems at the moment because it involves building a stretch
minutes, secondsof the railway. Who's going to finance it? A line rising from the heart of the Persian Gulf pauses at the edge of the
minutes, secondsCaspian Sea as if awaiting a momentous decision. In May that wait came to an end.
minutes, secondsTran and Moscow under the weight of Western sanctions forged an agreement that is rewriting Eurasia's transport
minutes, secondsmap. Tran and Moscow have found a new language under pressure, rail, continuous, and southbound.
minutes, seconds[applause]
minutes, secondsRussia is investing billion to build it km long Rasht Aara rail
minutes, secondsline a crucial link in a chain that starts in Mumbai passes through Shabahar and Bandar Abbas and reaches here at
minutes, secondsAstara when Iran's border meets the Caucus' railway. So this is no longer just a railway project. It's a new geography of power. I met with Mr.
minutes, secondsMustafa Agdam, a raot transport expert and fright forwarder for international corridors. He had a different
minutes, secondsperspective on the future of these routes.
minutes, secondsproducts apart from coal.
minutes, secondsWestern Russia. Yes.
minutes, secondsN and a half hours by plane. I do it all the time.
minutes, secondForeign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech.
minutes, secondsIt's a very long way. It's a very long wait. Is that Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech.
minutes, secondsHand fresh.
minutes, secondsSo basically what he's saying is that the best route is this one Iran and through Kazakhstan right so this uh
minutes, secondstrajectory is uh not very well planned in the end is this what you're saying
minutes, secondsand you still need to build this stretch through.
minutes, secondsWell, the Russians said that they were going to uh finance this stretch.
minutes, secondsCP China Pakistan China Pakistan Economic Card.
minutes, secondsForeign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech.
minutes, secondsYes. But if China uses Iran, same thing in the Iran Turkey border.
minutes, secondsNo, they don't have to change Turkey border. Pakistan.
minutes, secondsSo that's it. Pakistan, Iran, Turkey. Yeah. Perfect. Yes.
minutes, secondsBecause they all pass through Iran. Of course, here we have the junction of this I would say this complex of roads
minutes, secondscoming from southern Russia crossing Kazakhstan, crossing Turk Manistan,
minutes, secondsarriving in North Iran and then from North Iran to Tehran and then joining our corridor where we are exactly at
minutes, secondsthis moment over here and then we continue all the way to Bandar Abbas
minutes, secondsor later on to Chabahar as well but that's all another long story and of
minutes, secondscourse uh from Bandar Abbas to Mumbai it's a we can call it a sort of a Indian
minutes, secondsOcean uh silk road it's a cargo straight from band Abbas in Mumbai and vice versa
minuteswhich is going to be a very very busy road from now on maritime road from now on so this gives to all of you an idea
minutes, secondsof how important is the corridor even if they choose let's say the leftand side
minutes, secondsroad or the right side road crossing three countries and then arriving to Iran but it's very important because
minutes, secondsit's the only north south corridor across Eurasia
minutes, secondseverything else that we have is horizontal
minutes, secondsThe road from Tehran to Bander Abbas is a vital artery of Iran's trade. A route that trucks and vehicles carry the nation's good to ports and beyond.
minutes, secondsSacred Comm is not just a religious center. It's a point through which the arteries of Iran's economy and trade flow.
minutes, secondsThe north south corridor passes through here of course where faith and politics are interwoven.
minutes, secondsIt's decorative and the transit routes carry not only cargo but vital information.
minutes, secondsK is a reminder that Iran cannot be measured by economic geography alone. To understand it, one must listen to its
minutes, secondshistory and culture, to the meaning cities bring to the roots they lie on.
minutes, secondsAnd finally, I arrived in Isvah, a diamond of a city where you can hear history echo in every stone and every brick.
minutes, secondsThe north south corridor cuts through the eastern part of what is in fact a vast province passing through the
minutes, secondsancient town of Naine with roads and rail lines flowing like life blood through its landscape.
minutes, secondsIn Naksha Jahan Square where Persian Islamic architecture tells a story of thousand years old. The quiet murmur of
minutes, secondsprayer blends with the bustle of the bazaar. A living testament to the cultural vitality of a people seasly
minutes, secondsconnecting history with the future. In the surrounding markets, I found crafts born not just out of trade, but of
minutes, secondsidentity and art, and took home, of course, a few keepsakes, each telling a story of Iran's past and present.
minutes, secondsThis is fantastic. Where where is it from exactly? Do you know? Saras.
minutes, secondsSaras. Where is it? Where is northeast on the border of Iran and Afghanistan? Like northeast. Okay. Northeast km away from the border.
minutes, secondsThe north south corridor is not just a route for good. [clears throat] It's a bridge between cultures and commerce,
minutes, secondsbetween past and future, between tradition and modernity.
minutes, secondsBundabas smells of salt and trade.
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, secondsThis is a deep south where the land speaks to the sea. I passed through fish markets and aging warehouses through sun
minutes, secondsweather faces and soaked shoes drawn toward the very pulse of the corridor.
minutes, secondsHere in [music] the heart of the city,
minutes, secondsthe north south corridor reaches its end. Well, not really. Actually, a new [music] beginning.
minutes, secondsRight there is Hormus Island, also known as the red island. And way way way back
minutes, secondskilometers is the straight of Hormuz.
minutes, secondsThe railway from the caucuses, the highway carved through the desert, the containers that have crossed thousands of kilometers, they all converge here.
minutes, secondsKey question. Where next? Which direction? Which port? Which horizon?
minutes, secondsBundabas is the corridor's last stop on land. And within it lies the Shahid Raji
minutes, secondsport. It runs strategic terminal on the Persian Gulf. A place where trade is no longer measured in dollars, but defined by the geometry of power.
minutes, secondsThis is where global commerce arrives in Iran and departs from Iran as well. uh
minutes, secondswe can say bandabaz is an essential node of a maritime silk road and that
minutes, secondsinvolves major players involves not only Russia, Iran and India as part of the
minutes, secondsinternational north south transportation corridor. It also involves China. This
minutes, secondsis technically also part of China's new silk floor. Here every day, thousands of
minutes, secondstons of cargo from China, India, and Central Asia are loaded and unloaded.
minutes, secondsThis port forms the backbone of Iran's trade.
minutes, secondsAnd now, welcome to the West Asia Express.
minutes, secondsComing and everything coming and going from West Asia where we are. Bye-bye.
minutes, secondsMiddle East doesn't exist. This is West Asia.
minutes, secondsFrom Shanghai to Mumbai, from St.
minutes, secondsPetersburg to Astraan, all routes converge here. A key artery for strategic goods, raw materials,
minutes, secondsindustrial equipment, and economic dreams. This control tower is the real
minutes, secondsdeal. It controls everything that's happening inside this gigantic
minutes, secondsport complex but also in the province of Hormuz all the way to the street of
minutes, secondsHormuz. So let's call it the strategic tower. That's what it is.
minutes, secondsIn this new era, the geography of power is drawn not with armies but with railways, containers and ports.
minutes, secondsShahid Raja is not the final stop of the north south corridor. It is the beginning of a future where Iran is not just a pass but a destination.
minutes, secondsSo this is let's say the hot part of the Persian Gulf and at the same time it's very important because it's a trade center.
minutes, secondsIt's the key node in Iran for the international north south transportation cor. So remind reminding all of you St.
minutes, secondsPersburg Astraan, the Russian port in the Caspian Sea across the Caspian or roads to the
minutes, secondsright or to the left of the Caspian. Uh crossing Iran from Thran arriving here and here Bandarabas
minutes, secondsfrom here it can go to Mumbai or it can go to China as well. It can go to all parts of Asia from here. That's why this
minutes, secondsport complex is so important and it's going to be one of the absolute musts in term of of the international north south
minutes, secondstransportation corridor being viable within the next few years with all the challenges involved of course but
minutes, secondsthere's a strong possibility that the corridor will be fully operational before the end of this decade and of
minutes, secondscourse auspiciously maybe in the next two to three years. So we are right at the center of the action in West Asia.
minutes, secondsNow it's fascinating because there's a a lot of those containers they are from a firm called West Asia
minutes, secondsuh transportation. So the terminology itself speaks um by to the old Middle
minutesEast which was a configuration by the former British Empire. The correct terminology to everything that is
minutes, secondshappening around us is West Asia and Iran is the main player in West Asia.
minutes, secondsThe southern sky was bright, not with light, but with a hidden possibility.
minutes, secondsdown below where the sea narrows and the paths of oil and politics merge.
minutes, secondsGeography is no longer a map. It's an equation. Every day, of the world's
minutes, secondsoil flows silently go through this straight. But nothing here is truly
minutes, secondssilent. The winds from Oman carried the hum of tankers and from above I watched
minutes, secondsas power moved across the water. We were headed to Chabahar, a remote point now
minutes, secondsstanding at the center of tomorrow's game.
minutes, secondsThey have ready.
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, secondsOkay. Okay.
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, seconds[music]
minutes, secondsI arrived in Chabahar, a strategic port in [music] southeastern Iran, where the land sinks into endless blue and the
minutes, secondsfuture crashes against the shores with every wave.
minutes, secondsAlong the coastal road, mountains change their faces as if I had entered another world. Martian, silent and yet alive.
minutes, secondsThe Martian mountains of Chabaha. From a time long gone, from a land that seems
minutes, secondsto have always been a passage. Mountains that could have leapt from the dreams of a suralist painter.
minutes, secondsTo the east of Chabahar lies the port of Beris.
minutes, secondsYeah, priest. Calm yet alert. Like the watchtowwer of the south. Fantastic.
minutes, secondsNot just a fishing village, now a vital link in a global chain.
minutes, secondsforchech.
minutes, secondsAs you may see there is a facility to accept the different type of ships container ship and it's a deep water port.
minutes, secondsYes of course more than m depth is here. So, so very big missiles are able to come here to Bert and have the
minutes, secondsoperation for cargo discharge, cargo load and then departure to the other places.
minutes, secondSo, it is correct to define Chabahar as the maritime capital of Iran. It's not a hyperbolic. It is straight to the point.
minutes, secondsSo, Asian shipping lines are already using Shabahar. Some of them. Yes. Some of them. Yes.
minutes, secondsDo you do you plan maybe not for the moment? Is there some sort of synergy between Chabahar and Guadada?
minutes, secondsSee, because I I I listen I read some stuff but it's very up in the air. Yeah.
minutes, secondsUh yeah, of course there is a lot of discussions about the Chahar and Guada.
minutes, secondsThe the distance between these two ports are not too much. So km. Yes. Is is exactly close to each other.
minutes, secondsYes. But the difference between us and them is the hinterland. Yeah.
minutes, secondsIn terms of the international north south transportation corridor is is there going to be a synergy between
minutes, secondsBandar Abbas and Chabahar and which one will be more important for the corridor Bandar Abbas or Chabahar? I can say if
minutes, secondsyou look to the Iranian uh to sorry to international uh north so transit corridor uh bus and chabahar are two
minutes, secondswings for one two wings for okay so uh chabahar is more closer to China more
minutes, secondscloser to India so it means the ships can reach this place at least days sooner than bander
minutes, secondsso there's a two-day difference between here and bandas fantastic can we continue our convers conversation in your office.
minutes, secondsOf course, [laughter] because Harwood melts down. Thank you.
minutes, secondsOkay. Thank you very much. I invite you to come with me over there. Okay.
minutes, secondsWe were comparing Chabahar with Guada and you told me something I would say absolutely essential that
minutes, secondsChabahar is a provider for the Iranian interland and while Guadada is more or less isolated in the Arabian Sea. Could
minutes, secondyou please elaborate? when you are looking to the map you will find out there is at least five provenences
minutes, secondsuh with population around % of total population of Iran are living on that
minutes, secondsplace so it means chabahar has two potential the first potential is related to those activities which is related to
minutes, secondsthe people who are living in that place in that five provenences which I mentioned to you and the other thing is
minutes, secondsclose distance to the other countries like Afghanistan and the countries located at the east of the Caspian Sea.
minutes, secondsSo this is um my view on on on what happening when you are comparing between Shabahar and Guada.
minutes, secondsCan we say at the moment that the international north south transportation corridor coming and going through
minutes, secondsShabahar is already on right. We have some cargo from Afghanistan exporting from here. Arrival
minutes, secondscargo to Afghanistan transiting from Chabahar and also Usuzbakistan, Kasakistan, Turkmanistan,
minutes, secondsall these countries are very interested to use the potentials of Chabahar. every day day by day we will see more and more interest more and more more guests are
minutes, secondscoming here to see what's happening here and then based on that to to send their caros uh to how long does it take for a cargo ship
minutes, secondsfrom Chabahar to Mumbai and how long does it take from Chabahar to Shanghai eastern China
minutes, secondsokay um if we are talking about uh India from Mumbai to Chabahar days
minutes, secondsand to China to and vice versa and vice versa again. So it means Chabahar made uh Middle East closer to China.
minutes, secondsWould you say that Chinese sooner or later will invest directly in the expansion of Chabahar?
minutes, secondsChinese will be very soon interested on Chabahar because Chabahar is a gateway for Iranian people
minutes, secondsand a gateway for the other countries um around Iran. And if they can make some
minutes, secondsinvestment here, they will have better situation to attract more cargos with uh less charges. And in this this is very
minutes, secondsinteresting because it would mean an extension of the international north south transportation border because so
minutes, secondsfar technically it's Russia Iran India India but soon it could become Russia Iran
minutes, secondsIndia China China and in Iran two corridors are very important one of them is international north south corridor and another
minutes, secondscorridor which is subsidiary of that is east axis of Iran east axis yeah which is connecting Iran to the Afghanistan and the countries
minutes, secondslocated at the eastern part of the Kasmar.
minutes, secondSo would you say that the overall strategy of positioning Chabahar as essential for every not only the north
minutes, secondssouth corridor but other corridors do you think it's the right strategy at the moment?
minutes, secondsRight. Of course Chabahar is a gateway new gateway. We are as Iranian we are not only dependent on one port of Bandarapas. We should have alternative.
minutes, secondsMhm.
minutes, secondsFor our uh domestic trade, for international trade also we have a lot of opportunities to bring the investment
minutes, secondsof the other countries to make some facilities here and enjoy the advantages of that. So it means a combination
minutes, secondsbetween domestic trade and international trade which could be integrated in port of Java.
minutes, secondsChabahar.
minutes, secondsThis is how you build a railway from scratch. Chabahar to Zahedan is part of
minutes, secondsthe Indian silk road because what comes from Mumbai and arrives in Chabahar for
minutes, secondsinstance. take the railway to Zahedan and you are in the Afghan border and from there everything can go to
minutes, secondsAfghanistan and can go to Afghanistan and Central Asia at the same time. So the claim that Chabahar is the maritime
minutes, secondscapital of Iran is absolutely correct and it's being built right at this minute and in the end I met with Mr.
minutes, secondsArbabi a man who spoke of a greater map.
minutes, secondsA map in which Chabahar is not merely a port but a rising economic pole. A chain
minutes, secondsof logistics, production and export all springing up from one simple powerful element. Location, location, location.
minutes, secondsWhen is the railways going to be finished? I I saw the beginning of when it's going to be finished because we had different numbers.
minutes, secondsCould you explain briefly how does it work the
minutes, secondsfree trade zone? For instance, I am an investor from China. I want to use your free trade zone. How does it work?
minutes, secondsFree zone uh of Iran uh have many uh facilities for the investors. For
minutes, secondsexample, for the tax uh we can uh give investors years uh free tax.
minutes, secondsFree tax years.
minutes, secondsYeah. Uh and so they can uh bring equipments for the factories by zero ras.
minutes, secondsYeah. uh and uh so we can uh give them uh land
minutes, seconduh for the build of the factories uh by very easy process.
minutes, secondsHow do you see Chabahar years from now?
minutes, secondsI'm sure after years we have many products to export uh will be ready to export for example for China, for India,
minutes, secondsfor other countries.
minutes, secondsExcellent. And so we are trying to get a relation between Iran and Pakistan in
minutes, secondsthe Rimdan border. And so get a relation between Rimdan to CPC, China and Pakistan economic corridor.
minutes, secondsAnd here everything ends. Now everything actually begins at the edge of Iran.
minutes, secondsat the edge of Asia where land speaks with the sea and the sea entrust his secrets to distant empires.
minutes, secondsSo we are at the Iran Pakistan border as you can see no Salafi jihadis around no
minutes, secondsCIA no MIbut they must be around here anyway. So this has been an extraordinary trip tracking the
minutes, secondsinternational north south transportation corridor all across Iran from the Caspian across central Iran all the way
minutes, secondshere to Bandar Abbas and Chabahar and the Iran Pakistani border. So uh you may
minutes, secondshave now uh let's say a more firm idea about the strategic importance and the
minutes, secondsstrategic relevance of the international north south transportation corridor. The landscape around here in the sea of Aman
minutes, secondsis absolutely breathtaking. This is one of the most beautiful places in the world. And from now on in Shabahar for
minutesinstance, which is an enormous building site, the maritime capital of Iran, the
minutes, secondspotential for expansion, for trade, for integration, Eurasia integration,
minutes, secondsRussia, Iran, India is absolutely limitless.
minutes, secondsThis is not just a border. It's a gateway between dreams and power,
minutes, secondsbetween today's geopolitics and tomorrow's geoeconomics.

Transcript

0:00You are watching and listening to the electronic inif. I am John Elmer. This is the resistance report for day 888 of
0:077 secondsIsrael's genocide in Gaza. It's the 13th day of the US uh and Israel's war on Iran and 10th day of uh this newest
0:1616 secondsround um of the war in Lebanon. Um I am reporting this on the afternoon of March
0:2323 secondsthe 12th. Things are moving quickly. Uh but this report is covering the second week of the war. Um we'll start with the
0:3131 secondsmaps as we always do. We got some new fresh ones for everybody to see.
0:3535 secondsTargeting um of US positions across the region, particularly in the UAE,
0:4141 secondsBahrain, Kuwait, um Qatar there, Saudi Arabia. Those are two critical bases.
0:4747 secondsAnd the CIA station in Riyad that you see there targeted um up through Kuwait has been hammered. Kuwait is a major hub
0:5656 secondsof US um forces in the region and has been since the early 1990s. Uh a lot of
1:031 minute, 3 secondstargets all over co all over Iraq. Uh American bases all over the the region uh of Iraq from the 2003 war. And then of course you can see Jordan there.
1:131 minute, 13 secondsThat's Moaf Al-Sultti air base. That is the key expeditionary air base for the United States Air Force right now. Uh and it's been targeted numerous times.
1:221 minute, 22 secondsWe're going to get into what was targeted on those bases coming up. But if we take a look at the next map, you can see a little bit of a zoom in on
1:301 minute, 30 secondsfirst. This shows just the proximity uh of these targets. Um Bahrain, Qatar,
1:361 minute, 36 secondsUAE. We're looking at a map that shows the straight of Hormuz and Iran at the top just um within 50 uh to 100
1:451 minute, 45 secondskilometers from these uh major US installations, multi-billion dollar installations that are just getting
1:521 minute, 52 secondshammered uh right now. Um and u the as Alli reported in his uh solid report uh
2:002 minutesthe IRGC has promised not a liter of oil um that will benefit the US, the Zionists or their partners will pass through the straight of Hormuz, but
2:082 minutes, 8 secondsthey've done that verbally. Um there has been no uh very limited military action.
2:142 minutes, 14 secondsA couple of tankers, a number of tankers have been targeted, US uh flagged tankers. Um, but you can see the
2:222 minutes, 22 secondsstraight of Hormuz, how tiny it is on that map and that includes the territorial waters of Iran. If we look
2:302 minutes, 30 secondsat the next map, you can see it from an even um this map shows again the targets in the region with a little bit more uh
2:372 minutes, 37 secondscolorful outline there. You see the embassy in Riad. The CIA station was hit there and that forced all CIA stations
2:442 minutes, 44 secondsin the region to evacuate. Those are mostly set up in uh the embassies and consulates. So you can see them targeted
2:522 minutes, 52 secondsuh on this map as well. And then this next map shows you um this shows you the topography. And again, I don't want to
3:003 minutespredict the war can spiral out of control. But when you look at this map,
3:043 minutes, 4 secondsfirst of all, the straight of Hormuz is shown there in the dead center. When you take the territorial waters of Iran into question, you're talking like uh
3:133 minutes, 13 secondshundreds of feet um of area that is international waters, easy to be closed.
3:193 minutes, 19 secondsYou can see that escorting uh ships escorting uh tankers through that are
3:263 minutes, 26 secondsgoing to be running a gauntlet um of anti-hship missiles that are firing um in some distances as as close as you can
3:353 minutes, 35 secondsthrow a baseball. it looks like from this map. But also look at the country of Iran. When we're talking about a ground war, you're talking about
3:423 minutes, 42 secondsmountainous region. Um the core of the US forces are down in the south. The capital is up in the north also
3:503 minutes, 50 secondssurrounded by mountains. Um it's just a completely different story than um smashing Libya or smashing Syria, which
3:593 minutes, 59 secondsitself took a decade uh to do. and you look at a full state like Iran, the size of the country, the depth that they have
4:074 minutes, 7 secondsof human resources and uh military hardware, um this war could escalate,
4:144 minutes, 14 secondsbut you can see the reasons why it may not when you look at um at this map there that you're seeing. Um and I just
4:224 minutes, 22 secondswant to start here with a little bit of uh what the Americans and Israelis are doing. If we look at number five, they decided this week to target uh oil
4:314 minutes, 31 secondsdepots. Um strikes me as a sign of desperation to be hitting these um installations so early. Um things are
4:414 minutes, 41 secondsnot going as planned for the US um and Israel. And this was Israel targeting these. Um, according to the Israelis,
4:504 minutes, 50 secondsthey have 80% of their air force um targeting Iran and 20% targeting Lebanon right now. This happened on the weekend.
4:584 minutes, 58 secondsThe Red Crescent reporting 14,000 housing units damaged. Um um 29 hospitals targeted, nine of them
5:075 minutes, 7 secondsdestroyed or out of service, 65 schools targeted. Um so we're seeing again Israel uh being Israel here. Um, let's
5:165 minutes, 16 secondslook at number six, because of course this is basically chemical warfare. On the night of March 7th to the 8th, um,
5:225 minutes, 22 secondsIsraeli air strikes hit multiple fuel depots and refineries across Thyron and the neighboring Albor's province,
5:295 minutes, 29 secondsigniting vast pools of crude oil and refined fuel. The burning oil was sent into towering black plumes into the sky,
5:365 minutes, 36 secondsreleasing massive amounts of toxic hydrocarbons along with sulfur and nitrogen oxides into the lower atmosphere. And we're looking at a
5:445 minutes, 44 secondsgraphic here put together by Reuters that shows uh the toxic plume uh taking over a city uh a city itself of 10
5:545 minutes, 54 secondsmillion, metropolitan area of 20 million. This is a world uh class city um with its uh similar density to many
6:026 minutes, 2 secondsof the uh worldclass cities that you're thinking about right now. Um in the next slide you can see that it starts to take
6:106 minutes, 10 secondsover and spread as the toxic plume spread across Tyrron. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide combined with moisture
6:176 minutes, 17 secondsin the air producing dangerous acid rain. It oil rained on them. Uh authorities warned residents to stay
6:246 minutes, 24 secondsindoors as dense pollution and falling rain carried corrosive chemicals across the city. Um one more slide will show
6:346 minutes, 34 secondsum the impact on the human. Um the toxic particles are inhaled. Inhaling acidic particles could irritate the airways,
6:436 minutes, 43 secondsaggravate asthma and bronchitis and allow uh fine particles to reach the bloodstream where they can increase cardiovascular stress. I think that's
6:516 minutes, 51 secondsall obvious. You don't want to be uh breathing oil smoke and being rained on by oil rain. And that is the kind of
6:596 minutes, 59 secondscrimes that Israel just normalizes uh in their in their war fighting. And I like to just start with that so we
7:077 minutes, 7 secondsunderstand um the human toll of what's going on in this battle. Let's take a look at the Iranians for their part. Um
7:157 minutes, 15 secondsthese are their missiles and drones that they're using. Of course, the Shahed 136 is the primary tool. 2500 kilometer
7:237 minutes, 23 secondsrange. um allows it to target anything in the region from the coast of Israel
7:297 minutes, 29 secondsum all the way to uh the short hall uh right across the straight where a lot of the Gulf uh bases uh are set up. The
7:387 minutes, 38 secondsIMAD um ballistic missile there we've seen them used basically every day. The FATA is a hypersonic that has a
7:467 minutes, 46 secondsmaneuverable re-entry vehicle. It's a significant weapon that we have also seen nearly in every um wave. The way
7:537 minutes, 53 secondsthat the IRGC has fought this battle is um the field reports are done in waves.
7:597 minutes, 59 secondsWave 42 was today. Uh and the Coramshar 4 that is um uh their newest missile and
8:078 minutes, 7 secondsit has a um submunitions capacity. So that warhead breaks apart um and distributes smaller warheads that are
8:168 minutes, 16 secondsharder to intercept. We will see that um coming up. The IRGC has fired upwards of
8:238 minutes, 23 seconds3,000 drones at this point and 600 ballistic missiles, almost 600 ballistic missiles, also some cruise missiles in that 600 number. And they are saying 40%
8:348 minutes, 34 secondsare targeting Israel and 60% versus US bases. They've targeted 17 vessels. uh out in the sea. Sentcom for its part,
8:438 minutes, 43 secondsthe United States says they've carried out more than 6,000 air strikes and the Israelis say 7,500 bombs have been dropped, but the Iranians are continuing
8:528 minutes, 52 secondsto fire um undeterred by this. Uh we can see on the next slide the rest of their arsenal because interestingly with all
9:009 minutesthese think tanks getting their uh multi-million dollar uh endowments not and following Iran like this. This is
9:089 minutes, 8 secondsthe center for the international center for strategic and international studies and they don't have a graphic that includes all of the missiles that Iran
9:179 minutes, 17 secondsis firing. So, I had to pull together multiple graphics um which should tell you something about these um these
9:249 minutes, 24 secondsorganizations that have been pro-sanction, pro-war on Iran for decades um and still don't even aren't
9:319 minutes, 31 secondseven capable of logging correctly the number of missiles and the missile capabilities on a single slide. So, um I
9:409 minutes, 40 secondsused multiple here. So, um again here you're seeing the Sajil. This is their newest um one. We haven't seen that used. It's most advanced. The YMAD, like
9:509 minutes, 50 secondsI said, being used all the time. The God all the time as well. And the Shahab 3 you'll see uh launched in uh upcoming
9:589 minutes, 58 secondsuh slides. This is 11. So 12 has audio in it. Oh, this is okay. So this is the
10:0510 minutes, 5 secondsCormar. Um this is the um ballistic missile that launches 80 submunitions
10:1310 minutes, 13 secondsout of the warhead. and we'll see footage of that um coming up. Our next slide here has audio in it, so be prepared for that.
10:5010 minutes, 50 secondsSo, we're going to see all of their weapons launched in this series of launches. And just to give you a sense of how the field reports are done, um
10:5810 minutes, 58 secondsfor example, the 34th wave uh earlier this week, the IRGC said uh IRGC said the firing of a targeted system of
11:0611 minutes, 6 secondspowerful and strategic Kadder, IMAD and FATA missiles, um and the Kaibar Harasonic missile in the 34th wave of
11:1411 minutes, 14 secondsOperation True Promise 4 has entered the battlefield with the American and Zionist aggressors into a new phase. Um
11:2111 minutes, 21 secondsthe gathering place of American soldiers at two bases in Alzafra uh in Al Jafair that's in the UAE and Bahrain were
11:2911 minutes, 29 secondseffectively targeted by the firing of the IRGC aerospace missiles and the vanguard attack of drones. Um and they
11:3711 minutes, 37 secondswrapped that they said where they were targeting Ramat David uh Davidid air base um in northern Israel Hifas naval
11:4511 minutes, 45 secondsbase um and installations around Tel Aviv including the hidden missile launchers in front of Tel Aviv. Um and
11:5311 minutes, 53 secondsat the end they say Iran's target bank for attacking American and Zionist regime military and infrastructure resources in the region is 10 times the
12:0112 minutes, 1 secondtargets available um to the incapable enemies. security and stability in the region is either for everyone or it's
12:1012 minutes, 10 secondsfor no one. So that was their report from um uh from the 34th wave uh we are
12:1812 minutes, 18 secondsnow at 42nd wave today um and these attacks are coming steady. One thing that the Israelis say um and the
12:2612 minutes, 26 secondsAmericans too, they're constantly saying that the rocket fire uh missile fire is down x number of percentages to try to
12:3312 minutes, 33 secondsmake it sound like Iran cannot fire um the missiles. But what they're comparing it to is on the first day when they fired 300 missiles. Um and that was just
12:4312 minutes, 43 secondsthe opening day salvo. This is how they've handled the war since then.
12:4712 minutes, 47 secondsroughly 20 um ballistic missiles a day along with hundreds of drones. Um and that has been um the way they fire.
12:5612 minutes, 56 secondsIsrael has said this week that 800 missiles and drones as of Tuesday have been fired at them from Iran. They said
13:0413 minutes, 4 secondsthe IDF said that about half of the roughly 300 ballistic missiles Iran has launched um into Israel so far have been
13:1313 minutes, 13 secondsof the submunition warhead. Um yeah, and two people were killed in Israel this week. Um and you can see in
13:2213 minutes, 22 secondsthese launches that they there's some double launches. They're also using operational security that we saw all
13:3013 minutes, 30 secondsover Gaza the way they and Hzbollah the way like you see here. They're blurring um the mountain range that they're firing out. But you can see that they're
13:3813 minutes, 38 secondsfiring from different areas because we previously hadn't seen um those mountains. we hadn't seen those flat areas in the same way. So, they're
13:4713 minutes, 47 secondsclearly firing from all over the country. It's a massive uh country. Um the next slide that we will see is the
13:5713 minutes, 57 secondsarrival of one of these submunitions. Oh my god.
14:0514 minutes, 5 secondsHoly [ __ ]
14:1614 minutes, 16 secondsSo you can see there the way that they um they the submunitions come out. Um these are the ones from the Koramshar
14:2414 minutes, 24 secondsthat are 80. Um but there's also uh refitted warheads on the on the gdder
14:3114 minutes, 31 secondswhich is 15 to 20 of those. Um and the next slide uh as well is the arrival of
14:4014 minutes, 40 secondsum a submunition of the Koramshar.
14:5714 minutes, 57 secondsAnd you could see by this these are single missiles. Israel is trying to get these called cluster bombs. They want them to be associated with cluster
15:0515 minutes, 5 secondsmunitions that the international community has outlawed. Um, I'll get a a bit more into that after we see this
15:1215 minutes, 12 secondsnext one because they're clearly not uh cluster bombs. That's a single strike uh of a submunition that could be shot out
15:2015 minutes, 20 secondsof the air by any of Israel's four air defense systems if they worked. Um,
15:2615 minutes, 26 secondswe'll explain in a bit why they're not working as well. Uh, also, um, so 15.
15:3215 minutes, 32 secondsYeah, you can see this is from a traffic camera landing in the middle of a an open
15:3915 minutes, 39 secondsstreet there. Also, no sirens uh on those last two ones, which I think are notable. Israelis certainly thought they were notable. Um,
15:5615 minutes, 56 secondsand you can see in the next slide, you can see the um the depth of the impact and the car flipped over there. We're
16:0416 minutes, 4 secondslooking at two Israeli soldiers with their faces blurred because they are criminals and they all know it and their
16:1216 minutes, 12 secondsarmy knows it and they don't put any pictures of them up. Now, usually they turn their heads, which is what they're doing here. We're looking at the side of
16:2016 minutes, 20 secondstheir face and the other guy has his back turned. That's how we see even Israeli graduations these days. Um because they have a feeling that justice
16:2816 minutes, 28 secondsmay catch up to them for this war for them that is now 880 days uh into their genocidal rampage. Um the next slide
16:3716 minutes, 37 secondsyou'll see is what the submunition looks like. Um that's roughly the size. uh several kilos of explosives in each one.
16:4616 minutes, 46 secondsUh and they're in the nose cone of the re-entry vehicle. Um and they break apart as we saw in those previous videos. But what Israel is trying to do
16:5516 minutes, 55 secondsis call them cluster bombs, which are a horrendous weapon that puts miniature bomblets. The bomb breaks open and it
17:0317 minutes, 3 secondsshowers a small area with hundreds, if not thousands of small bombs. Um, and
17:1017 minutes, 10 secondsthis is something that Israel did famously, infamously, um, at the end of the July 2006
17:1717 minutes, 17 secondswar in Lebanon when they had realized that they had lost the war, they sued for peace and then they fired uh, in the
17:2417 minutes, 24 secondslast days um, cluster bombs. Let's go to the next slide because this is a a slide from uh, Harets's newspaper in Israel
17:3217 minutes, 32 secondsthat says, IDF commander, we fired more than a million cluster bombs in Lebanon.
17:3817 minutes, 38 secondsThe subtitle says, "Phosphorus and cluster bombs, heavily used, unexloded munitions, litter a wide area of
17:4517 minutes, 45 secondsLebanon." And I was in Lebanon at that time, and it it they were everywhere.
17:4917 minutes, 49 secondsThey were hanging from trees. They were in people's houses. They were in the gardens and the shrubbery, so you couldn't see them. They're just small
17:5817 minutes, 58 secondsand uh they're deadly. This is what the article said, um, quoting uh the head of the IDF rocket unit. What we did was
18:0518 minutes, 5 secondsinsane and monstrous. We covered entire towns in cluster bombs. Um, quoting the battalion commander, the rocket unit had
18:1218 minutes, 12 secondsstart stated that the IDF fired 1,800 cluster bombers containing over 1.2 million cluster bomblelets. In addition,
18:2118 minutes, 21 secondssoldiers in the IDF artillery units testified that their army used phosphorous shells during the war,
18:2718 minutes, 27 secondsforbidden under international law, and that the rocket multiple launch rocket systems were highly inaccurate. So,
18:3318 minutes, 33 secondsthese are cluster bombs. They're all in one area. Um, and they're intended to kill civilians. The submunitions that is
18:4218 minutes, 42 secondscoming out of a ballistic missile has spreads them out over multiple kilometer range. Um, all it is doing is making a
18:5018 minutes, 50 secondssingle missile into um a dozen or dozens of uh missiles to be intercepted. And
18:5718 minutes, 57 secondsthat those interceptions are supposed to happen by Israel's layered multi-billion dollar, hundreds of billions of dollars
19:0519 minutes, 5 secondsair defense system. Uh and it's not. And they're trying to call them cluster munitions. Um because that's what Israel
19:1319 minutes, 13 secondsdoes, projects the things that they do criminally and hope that they can make it stick onto somebody else. Um let's take a look at the next one. We're going
19:2119 minutes, 21 secondsto watch the launch of Shahed drones here.
19:5119 minutes, 51 secondsSo, this is some of the 3,000 drones that have been launched so far. They can take off from there. You can see they
19:5819 minutes, 58 secondsdon't need a they don't need to be truck mounted, although we have seen truck mounted with racks that can send out a dozen at a time, but you can also send
20:0620 minutes, 6 secondsthese from the desert um and fire them off um relatively safely in comparison to uh other munitions. So, this this
20:1520 minutes, 15 secondstype of weapon is um is not going to run out. Um and it's been very very effective. and you're looking at um the
20:2520 minutes, 25 secondsNavy's uh drones there. So, if we look at the next slide, we also have audio in this for the launch of um drones and
20:3320 minutes, 33 secondscruise missiles. This is number 18 we're at now.
20:5020 minutes, 50 secondsThat's the That's the Pava cruise missile that you can see. And we're going to see later in the show that the Iraqi Resistance is using that uh same
20:5820 minutes, 58 secondstype of drone. We also saw the Hadid 110 for the first time. It's a small turbo engine um with a 350 km max that carries
21:0621 minutes, 6 secondsa 30 kilo payload. And we've seen these be used by the Iranian Navy on targets um in the Gulf that are close to them.
21:1621 minutes, 16 secondsWe also have audio in on this next one for launches. Um these are launched by the Iranian Army um which is also in the
21:2521 minutes, 25 secondsbattle along with the um Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. So this is number 19 with audio.
21:3921 minutes, 39 secondsSo you could see those launches again.
21:4221 minutes, 42 secondsThe White House press secretary Caroline Levitt said this week the she confirmed a report by Reuters that said as many as
21:4921 minutes, 49 seconds150 troops have been injured since military operations began a week ago saying that number of injured is in the ballpark of 150. Something that had been
21:5821 minutes, 58 secondscovered up up until now. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told the Associated Press that eight US soldiers have been severely injured, noting that
22:0622 minutes, 6 secondsthe majority of the injuries have been minor um with uh some returning to duty.
22:1122 minutes, 11 secondsSeven US service members have been acknowledged to have died so far, six of whom were killed in Kuwait and another
22:1722 minutes, 17 secondsin Saudi Arabia. Um let's take a look at number 19b here. We're going to uh see
22:2622 minutes, 26 secondsthe targeting of the Kuwaiti base with a drone from the Kuwaiti base.
22:3522 minutes, 35 secondsOh [ __ ] And the American soldier there. Oh my god.
22:4222 minutes, 42 secondsThis is in Camp Buring. Um and an interesting side note, it's named after the one of the highest ranking officers that was killed in the Iraq war. and he
22:5022 minutes, 50 secondswas killed in 2003 in the Al-Rasheed hotel in Baghdad. And he was killed in an assassin assassination attempt on
22:5922 minutes, 59 secondsPaul Wolowitz who was the uh biggest pusher and architect of the Iraq war. Um
23:0623 minutes, 6 secondsWolawitz survived but uh Burring didn't and they renamed this base um after him.
23:1223 minutes, 12 secondsAnd the base is a miniature city as people may know. Um these bases essentially become American cities. Um I
23:1923 minutes, 19 secondswatched a report on this particular base last night and they were in subway, they were in an arcade, they have uh you know basketball courts and gyms, they have full bus system, um residence quarters,
23:3123 minutes, 31 secondsthere's they're sprawling miniature sovereign US territory. And so the reason why these are being targeted um they've been known in this region for a
23:4023 minutes, 40 secondslong time and it speaks to um to the longevity of this um war in Iraq, war in
23:4723 minutes, 47 secondsthe region, global war on terror that normalized these bases um that are now being destroyed to such a level that
23:5423 minutes, 54 secondsrebuilding them um I I think rebuilding them could come into question. Uh the destruction level um is such they're
24:0124 minutes, 1 secondalso largely abandoned. So their utility in this key moment is uh drastically uh reduced. Let's take a look at number 21.
24:1024 minutes, 10 secondsThis is an IRGC drone versus a US hotel in Bahrain.
24:3324 minutes, 33 secondsAnd the IRGC said on this, "The flight of the cowardly American soldiers from regional bases, they're taking refuge in hotels and host countries and their
24:4124 minutes, 41 secondscriminal US army's use of civilian facilities in the Persian Gulf countries as cover. Do not escape the intelligence
24:4824 minutes, 48 secondsmonitoring of the IRGC. The brave soldiers of the IRGC are laying in wait to hunt the soldiers of the aggressor American army and will not let them go."
24:5824 minutes, 58 secondsAnd just on a side note, the number of locals killed in these operations are very low. In the UAE, in the total in
25:0725 minutes, 7 secondsthe 13 days, there's been four people killed. They were migrant workers um who presumably didn't have the rights to leave the job sites in the way that um the locals do. There's two in Kuwait,
25:1825 minutes, 18 secondsboth migrant workers. Two in Saudi, also migrant workers, and one in Bahrain. So when you're talking about the scale of
25:2525 minutes, 25 secondsdestruction and death that Israel and the US reigns down, more than a thousand in um Iran already, 600 in Lebanon and
25:3425 minutes, 34 secondsof course 100,000 in Gaza at least. Um it just worth noting um uh those
25:4225 minutes, 42 secondsnumbers. Also, Bahrain arrested the people that took that video. Um they have arrested uh a number of people. The
25:4925 minutes, 49 secondsnumbers are not entirely clear, but there was a report yesterday of six people being arrested, migrant workers that f that quote filmed, published, and
25:5825 minutes, 58 secondsreposted videos related to the effects of Iranian aggression. And again linking back to what Ally was saying about uh
26:0626 minutes, 6 secondsthe Bahraini minister, this base uh the US fifth fleet base is not so much a
26:1226 minutes, 12 secondsmountain of fire as he called it as it has not been able to do anything to defend uh Bahrain from what we are
26:2026 minutes, 20 secondsseeing. Um number 21B here we're going to see the uh an attack on the Dubai airport.
26:2926 minutes, 29 secondsYou're going to see a drone come in from the right here and um it's going to hit
26:3626 minutes, 36 secondsjust outside of the terminal and you can see it just misses a radar dome. It looks like that radar dome might have
26:4326 minutes, 43 secondsbeen the target. Um but this strike on uh the Dubai airport is part of process of shutting down 14,000 flights in the
26:5126 minutes, 51 secondsregion. Um, Emirates Airline is the world's largest longhaul airline and by far the largest airline in the Middle East. And they are not flying there. You
27:0027 minutessee a closeup of uh the Shahed strike there on the Dubai airport. Um, next up
27:0727 minutes, 7 secondswe're going to see uh the integrated air defense system of the IRGC and the Artesh, the um
27:1527 minutes, 15 secondsIranian army. Um, knocking these um drones, US and Israeli drones out of the
27:2227 minutes, 22 secondssky. Um, we don't have an exact number on this, but we've seen at least dozens of these knocked out of the sky. At one
27:3127 minutes, 31 secondspoint the IRGC uh said that they had hit 80. Um it's um somewhere between dozens
27:3827 minutes, 38 secondsin that at least because we've we've shown you now a dozen just on this program alone and I don't pick all of them. Also, next one is uh part of our
27:4727 minutes, 47 secondsweekly coverage of of uh local farmers with um uh with expensive American drones.
27:5627 minutes, 56 secondsThere's this local farmer in Laurestan driving his Hermes 900 drone around
28:0228 minutes, 2 secondstown. Um so that is the drone work that has been done. But this week the
28:0928 minutes, 9 secondstargeting um really came to light on what on these bases are being hit. Um if we take a look at number 24, we're
28:1828 minutes, 18 secondstalking about the THAAD radar essentially eradication from the region.
28:2228 minutes, 22 secondsUm this is a graphic from the Financial Times that shows you um we're looking at the top radar at the top is a half a
28:2928 minutes, 29 secondsbillion dollar radar. Um it's an advanced warning radar upon which all the system um not just the THAAD system
28:3728 minutes, 37 secondsbut this we're talking about the THAAD system here. The US is uh terminal highaltitude area defense system that
28:4428 minutes, 44 secondstries to intercept before they um come before the missiles come back down into the atmosphere. They're exopheric.
28:5228 minutes, 52 secondsUm and they use the radars from the uh THAAD system is connected into all the air defense uh systems and it's a very
29:0129 minutes, 1 secondpowerful one and that's the efficacy of the system is how powerful your radar is, how sharp you're able to uh pick up
29:0829 minutes, 8 secondsthe trajectory, the launch site and calibrate all your air defense systems on the way in. So when you knock these out, you know, some people say it's the
29:1629 minutes, 16 secondsheart or the eyes of the system of this uh multi-billion dollar system. It's a $3 billion system over the course of its
29:2429 minutes, 24 secondslifetime. Those single radar um that got knocked out is at least half a million.
29:2829 minutes, 28 secondsAnd each of these systems um each of these THAAD systems, this considered one THAAD system that you're looking at. And it can have six to eight um truck
29:3829 minutes, 38 secondslaunched interceptor launchers, each one with eight. So six trucks by eight is 48 launchers. Um that's what they have
29:4529 minutes, 45 secondsbefore they have to reload. And that's a $700 million outlay. And we know that last year they only made 96 total
29:5329 minutes, 53 secondsinterceptors for the THAAD system. So the system itself and the interceptors is one part but the radar itself is part
30:0030 minutesof the radar for the entire system that is used by the US and Israel. We can look at the next uh slides. We can see
30:0830 minutes, 8 secondsthe proof of that here. This is the radar. It's massive. You know it's larger than a um than the trailer uh of
30:1630 minutes, 16 secondsan 18-wheeler. It's a significant radar that has um a significantly higher like
30:2230 minutes, 22 secondsalgorith algorithmically higher uh capacity than the smaller radars that it passes off to. And what it does is it
30:3030 minutes, 30 secondstakes the initial reading and then it's so large and accurate and sharp, it's able to tell the smaller radars who
30:3730 minutes, 37 secondsdon't have that capability, it can tell them where it's coming and that allows the smaller radars to then be more
30:4430 minutes, 44 secondseffective. So you take out the large radar now your small radars are not effective. Um and this is a a problem
30:5130 minutes, 51 secondsthat for the US and Israel that will compound itself and replacing them in battle um is a long shot. Although they're talking about taking the THAAD
31:0031 minutessystem out of South Korea. So sorry about that. South Korea I guess for the Americans promise to protect you but actually we're just going to move your
31:0831 minutes, 8 secondsair defense system because we uh are getting ours all blown up. Um and these are hit in these have been hit in um
31:1731 minutes, 17 secondsconcerted effort in radar communications and air defense systems in Qatar, UAE,
31:2231 minutes, 22 secondsJordan, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Um we take a look at the next slide.
31:2931 minutes, 29 secondsUm you can see here the damage on uh Mouafak Al-Sti. This is the base in Jordan. And you can see the that's the
31:3731 minutes, 37 secondsmassive ba um radar that you can see uh destroyed there. We're looking at a satellite image that is boxed that shows
31:4531 minutes, 45 secondsthe damaged structures um satellite photos. According to CNN, satellite
31:5131 minutes, 51 secondsphotos show a Rathon A TPY2 radar um and support equipment used by the US THAD missile defense systems was destroyed in
32:0032 minutesMuafka alsi air base in Jordan in the opening days of the war. Um, and I reported on this in the buildup to the
32:0632 minutes, 6 secondswar because Moaf Alti base um was being used for um more fighter jets than we had seen. There was at least 60
32:1532 minutes, 15 secondsadditional ones on top of the US Expeditionary Wing. The radar system for the THAAD um and the transporter radar
32:2432 minutes, 24 secondsmanufactured by Rathon according to the 2025 missile defense agency budget costs half a billion dollars. As I have said,
32:3332 minutes, 33 secondswe'll look another one. Um, are we on 26 here? This is another one showing u the base from a little further up. Um, but
32:4232 minutes, 42 secondsyou can see again clearly see the damage. It's out in the open in the desert. And you don't see missed strikes all around it. It looks like the
32:5032 minutes, 50 secondsprecision of these uh weapons um are not aerial weapons. They're not missing by uh you know missing by 20 or 30 feet.
32:5932 minutes, 59 secondsyou're seeing direct on hits. Uh this image shows a pair of 13 ft craters in the sand near the radar system
33:0733 minutes, 7 secondssuggesting that it may have taken multiple attempts to hit the system which has split across 40 sorry five 40ft trailers according to the CNN
33:1733 minutes, 17 secondsreport. All appear to be destroyed or seriously damaged. So they're picking them off one by one. Um they can do that with their uh with their drones. The US
33:2533 minutes, 25 secondshas a really difficult time finding the drones. uh in themselves and they're using those drones to knock out the ballistic missile defense systems in these uh countries. Number se 27 here.
33:3733 minutes, 37 secondsNow we're going to look at the UAE.
33:3833 minutes, 38 secondsAgain, you get the same site uh before and after of the system being destroyed in the UAE. At least three buildings at
33:4633 minutes, 46 secondsthe military installation near Roues and four at an installation in Solder. Uh both in the UAE were damaged between
33:5333 minutes, 53 secondsFebruary 28th and March 1st according to CNN. pullth through vehicle sheds used to shore store radar systems and THAD batteries at the sites were among those
34:0234 minutes, 2 secondsdestroyed. And the next one you'll see again um um you'll see the destruction um the
34:0934 minutes, 9 secondsbefore and after destruction of this second one in um the UAE. Um and the Iranians said on day nine, the
34:1834 minutes, 18 secondsspokesperson for the IRGC said that uh the highly advanced radars of the THAAD system, which have an extremely long range and have been have been destroyed
34:2634 minutes, 26 secondsuh during operations to suppress the enemy's anti-missile defense in the region. Four highly advanced US THAD system radars were targeted and
34:3434 minutes, 34 secondsdestroyed. The highly advanced longrange THAAD radars located in Alura, Aluis in the UAE, and Alcarge in Saudi Arabia and
34:4334 minutes, 43 secondsAlzarak. That's Muafaka called Salty and Jordan were targeted and destroyed in a 24-hour period of time. Let's skip to
34:5234 minutes, 52 secondsnumber 31 here. Um because this is the uh early warning radar in Qatar and this is a critical piece of uh of all of the
35:0135 minutes, 1 secondair defense. This is the most powerful radar. Um and it's the radar upon which all the other radars rely. And we can
35:0935 minutes, 9 secondssee here that it has been uh totally destroyed uh as well. So very significant for a long battle of
35:1735 minutes, 17 secondsattrition that the air defense systems are already struggling to a significant degree based on precision targeting by
35:2635 minutes, 26 secondsthe Iranian military. So that is the coverage of uh the Iran front and the
35:3235 minutes, 32 secondsGulf front. We're going to move now to Lebanon uh where there have been now 10 days of war since this new uh battle
35:4135 minutes, 41 secondsbroke out. You could see Israeli evacuation notices um as we reported earlier and we had an excellent
35:4835 minutes, 48 secondsinterview with Raquaya Rukaya uh Shamsadin that people should definitely check out. She was reporting on the
35:5635 minutes, 56 secondsground on these issues. evacuation of 760,000 Lebanese um on the move with
36:0236 minutes, 2 secondsbasically no warning. Uh only 123 of whom are in school and government shelters at this point. Um the Israeli
36:1136 minutes, 11 secondsmilitary says they've uh dropped,000 bombs and 700 strikes in the first week and they've killed um 600 and wounded
36:1936 minutes, 19 seconds1,400 others um as we know from the earlier reports on this show. Um so that
36:2636 minutes, 26 secondsis the map of uh Lebanon that you're looking at there. The next slide is Hezbollah's response. Hzbollah said uh
36:3536 minutes, 35 secondsum we are warning the residents of the northern settlements essentially doing what the Israelis do. You are required to evacuate all settlements located within 5 kilometers of the borderline.
36:4436 minutes, 44 secondsThe aggression of your army against the Lebanese sovereignty and civilians and the destruction of civilian infra infrastructure and the campaign of
36:5136 minutes, 51 secondsdisplacement it is carrying out will not go unanswered head south. And Hezbollah field reports um have been ending with
37:0037 minutesthis line. The Islamic resistance is committed to defending its land and people especially with the Israeli enemy exceeding boundaries with its crimes. It is its response targeted military sites.
37:1137 minutes, 11 secondsThe Islamic resistance its response targeted military sites unlike the enemy's targeting of civilians. And this is the minimum duty to curb it and
37:2037 minutes, 20 secondsprevent it from persisting in its dangerous objectives against Lebanon,
37:2537 minutes, 25 secondsits state, its people, and its resistance. Hasbollah has fired over a thousand rockets since uh they joined
37:3237 minutes, 32 secondsthe war 10 days ago. Um let's take a look at this first operation. This is an anti-tank guided missile strike um a
37:4037 minutes, 40 secondslong-d distanceance strike uh presumably with an Almas uh which is a reverse engineered anti-tank uh guided missile
37:4837 minutes, 48 secondssystem that uh Hezbollah captured during the 2006 July war. You can see that they this is one of the Israeli positions.
37:5637 minutes, 56 secondsAfter the war, Israel set up five advanced positions inside uh Lebanese territory. Um, and this is one of those
38:0538 minutes, 5 secondsfive positions. And you can see, um, no matter how much earth moving the Israelis do, they're the Israeli soldiers always get up on top of that
38:1438 minutes, 14 secondsearth mound that is supposed to protect them, uh, and stand around. And that is what they're doing. In this case, the IDF reported at least five casualties
38:2238 minutes, 22 secondsfrom multiple anti-tank guided missile strikes on uh, this base in that single day. Uh, this is from 3 days ago.
38:3238 minutes, 32 secondsUm, and like I said, it's one of five forward bases inside of uh Lebanon. And um the Israeli army reported that two
38:4138 minutes, 41 secondssoldiers were moderately wounded in a Hezbollah missile attack on a military post in South Lebanon on Friday afternoon. Um several anti-tank missiles
38:4938 minutes, 49 secondswere fired in the attack and three others were wounded later uh in strikes.
38:5538 minutes, 55 secondsSo um also in a separate operation uh a couple of days ago at 3:00 a.m. near the IDF outpost in uh Marggo Leit and
39:0439 minutes, 4 secondsManara. So these are the positions set up inside Lebanon. Um they force uh the
39:1139 minutes, 11 secondsthe engineering vehicle the Puma engineering vehicle of a 601st battalion got struck. The company commander went in with a recovery bulldozer to tow the
39:2039 minutes, 20 secondsvehicle out uh accompanied by two D9 armored bulldozers. During the towing attempt, an anti-tank uh or explosive
39:2839 minutes, 28 secondsprojectile hit one of the D9s and two soldiers were killed on the spot.
39:3239 minutes, 32 secondsAnother officer was uh injured in that as well. Um now let's take a look at the rocket attacks. We're at 35 now. here.
39:4139 minutes, 41 secondsUm this is uh rocket attacks on Kirat Shmona which is in the top of the Galilee panhandle. You can see the
39:4939 minutes, 49 secondsHzbollah crest there uh and the supreme leader Ali Kam there beside him being saluted on the front lines in these very
39:5839 minutes, 58 secondsdangerous launches of rockets with u you know Israeli um
40:0440 minutes, 4 secondsIsraeli fighter aircraft, helicopters and drones in the air. didn't get the video on the show today, but there's one
40:1240 minutes, 12 secondsreleased by Hezbollah today where you could see them setting the rockets with that over uh watch by the Israelis. Um
40:2040 minutes, 20 secondslet let's take a look at the incoming Oh, okay. Sorry, there's a couple more.
40:2740 minutes, 27 secondsUm you can see the fighter in the dark there. Um moving away to safety after this launch. And these um these count as
40:3540 minutes, 35 secondsone operation too, right? So I'm going to tell you how many uh Hezbollah operations there has been almost 200. Um
40:4340 minutes, 43 secondsbut that's just number of individual operations. That doesn't tell you how many weapons were fired. Um because as we see here, there's are multiple
40:5140 minutes, 51 secondslaunches um um in each time. And again with these Hzbollah videos, they give us the map of exactly what they are
40:5940 minutes, 59 secondstargeting. Um, and you can see this is a multiple rocket launchers, at least uh 14 barrel rocket launcher that's going
41:0741 minutes, 7 secondsto be fired at Kirat Schimona here. When the fighters get the launch uh coordinations typed into this launcher,
41:1641 minutes, 16 secondsthey can set it for a timer and then they can get out of the area for um counter fire, which is what you're uh
41:2541 minutes, 25 secondsseeing the fighters do when they're setting those uh launch boxes. Um and these are significant launches.
41:3241 minutes, 32 secondsUm these are heavier um so far they've been firing a lot of heavier um weaponry
41:3841 minutes, 38 seconds302 mm um missile rockets and they have um this is the Iron Dome system that
41:4641 minutes, 46 secondsyou're watching at now coming and attempting to intercept. You saw one just there fire into the community from a misfire. Um, let's look at 36 because
41:5641 minutes, 56 secondsyou can hear that with the sound in
42:0842 minutes, 8 secondsyou can see that's a pretty good shot of how the misfire ended up in the community. Um, 37. We also see uh
42:1642 minutes, 16 secondsincoming rockets here and you can see the aerial battle. We're watching the streaks across the sky. That was uh that
42:2442 minutes, 24 secondsis this is the Iron Dome versus Hezbollah rockets. And you can see um the Hezbollah rockets have the high ground advantage firing down and the missiles are attempting to intercept.
42:3442 minutes, 34 secondsAnd you can just watch that for yourself and see that the interception rate is low. And with these radars out, it is uh
42:4142 minutes, 41 secondsa strong supposition that the Iron Dome used those radars because of how powerful they were um to help to assist
42:4842 minutes, 48 secondstheir systems. Um let's look at number 38 because we have uh the launch of
42:5542 minutes, 55 secondsHezbollah drones here which they have also been using as multi-lay multi-layered attacks. The drones are um
43:0443 minutes, 4 secondscomposite so they um have a smaller radar cross-section. And you can see the Israelis have been having a terrible time with this as have the Americans.
43:1343 minutes, 13 secondsUh, and the reason why the Americans made a clone of the Iranian uh, missile
43:2043 minutes, 20 secondsuh, sorry, Iranian drone because of how effective they are. Um, and so the Israelis have not been able to get these
43:2943 minutes, 29 secondsum, to get many of these drones despite the fact they have helicopters constantly hunting for these um, across the desert in the south and also in the
43:3843 minutes, 38 secondsnorth. And you're going to see here the soldiers um see it coming over and they open fire on it. We can see in the next slide that uh I called life after THAAD.
43:4843 minutes, 48 secondsUh this is them. This is the uh rifle air defense system. It's not going to hold up too well if that is the long-term plan. And of course uh you
43:5743 minutes, 57 secondsmight ask if they're firing into their neighborhoods like that to try to shoot down the drones. Is there a problem?
44:0344 minutes, 3 secondsYes, there is. The IDF said this week several homes in northern Israel were damaged by helicopter fire during attempts to shoot down Hezbollah drones
44:1044 minutes, 10 secondsthis morning. Um the helicopter used 30mm cannons to shoot down the drone over uh the Lebanon border. So those are
44:1844 minutes, 18 secondspop bottle size um rounds from the Apaches that you don't want falling in your community and they are because they
44:2544 minutes, 25 secondsare failing to detect these in time. Um let's take a look at number 40 here.
44:3244 minutes, 32 secondsThese are FOD sixes. These are heavy uh extended range rockets that um that Hezbollah has um that carry a heavy
44:4244 minutes, 42 secondswarhead, 150 kilo warhead. And here they're aiming and showing you that they're aiming at Israel Aerospace Industries, which is the manufacturer of
44:5044 minutes, 50 secondsit's the national manufacturer along with Raphael. Um but you can see the truck launch there and the operational
44:5744 minutes, 57 secondssecurity is not even letting us see uh the whole truck because they don't want us see to show where this is being launched from but you can see the
45:0545 minutes, 5 secondsvertical truck launch uh happening there. This was among uh at this point uh as of Tuesday they had carried out 65
45:1545 minutes, 15 secondsseparate operations. Um, Israel Aerospace Industries manufactures everything from unmanned D9 bulldozers
45:2245 minutes, 22 secondsthat we watch destroy Gaza um along with the missile defense systems. So, they're using their uh rocket and missile capacity to target the those systems.
45:3145 minutes, 31 secondsAnd we see the next one. These are highquality operations uh ability to pinpoint and target the Raphael uh
45:4045 minutes, 40 secondsmilitary manufacturer here with a rocket barrage. Um the uh Raphael is the manufacturer of the Iron Dome. So we
45:4945 minutes, 49 secondshave rockets uh being fired at the Iron Dome maker. So uh a lot of significance but also military advantage to doing
45:5745 minutes, 57 secondsthis for the same reason the Americans are doing it. Um you target these systems um and attempt to do a blinding operation is is essentially what it is.
46:0846 minutes, 8 secondsAnd we saw this on the first days of October 7th um when the the successful uh attack on uh IDF bases was made
46:1646 minutes, 16 secondspossible by blinding uh those bases to what they think that they can count on uh to protect them. like um the Gulf
46:2646 minutes, 26 secondsStates believe that this missile defense system which is not um having its best showing here in one of its first if not
46:3446 minutes, 34 secondsits first ever active combat um these missile defense systems have been sold to the American public um you know since
46:4346 minutes, 43 secondsReagan since Star Wars um to to try to shoot down uh missiles. So you're talking about hundreds of billions of
46:5146 minutes, 51 secondsdollar program that we're seeing in uh in its final uh in in its peak
46:5846 minutes, 58 secondsiteration. And one more we can see uh NASA rockets. These are uh 302 mm uh rockets that are have attached to them.
47:0847 minutes, 8 secondsHezbollah has retrofitted them with a guidance system. So these become guided missiles.
47:1547 minutes, 15 secondsUm and there has bull built and they are going to target here um the naval air base or the naval base in Hifa and the
47:2447 minutes, 24 secondsnaval base in Hifa has uh a lot of radars for maritime tracking but also it does dual function of tracking the
47:3247 minutes, 32 secondsnorthern border. So um they are uh targeting these installations, these radars for the same purposes and this is
47:3947 minutes, 39 secondsa significant number of operations in the early days for Hezbollah. They are carrying out um
47:4847 minutes, 48 secondsaverage of about 25 operations a day um from a group that uh if you listen to
47:5547 minutes, 55 secondswestern media or Israeli military um uh or Israeli politicians that this group was destroyed and degraded and then
48:0248 minutes, 2 secondscouldn't fight back and they join this war um showing the exact opposite. Of course, on this program, people who are
48:1048 minutes, 10 secondsfollowers of this program know that we did not do that to Hezbollah on the the war ended in Lebanon. The Lebanon front
48:1748 minutes, 17 secondsended um with Hezbollah ground forces repelling an invasion by the Israeli military that numbered uh in the tens of
48:2648 minutes, 26 secondsthousands of soldiers along the border and they couldn't uh infiltrate into Lebanon to the areas that they wanted to because Hezbollah was a considerable
48:3548 minutes, 35 secondsfighting force that repelled them. Um it's not to me surprising that Hezbollah is able to mount this kind of resistance
48:4348 minutes, 43 secondsum because you were sold a bill of goods on their status uh before um one more 43
48:5048 minutes, 50 secondshere. We're going to see again these guided Nasser series rockets. There's two tight missiles. They're missiles because they are they have guidance
48:5848 minutes, 58 secondssystems. Um and you're going to see them target here um a key satellite
49:0549 minutes, 5 secondsinstallation in central Israel uh that used to be a national satellite in uh installation but was privatized
49:1449 minutes, 14 secondsum but it is the key download link from uh from from space of satellite communications, television
49:2249 minutes, 22 secondscommunications, radio communications and it's a um a satellite station and a satellite farm. term. So again,
49:3049 minutes, 30 secondstargeting um and targeting it effectively as we're going to see uh coming up in this video because
49:3849 minutes, 38 secondsHezbollah has attached this video of dash cam footage we're watching and there you see the strike uh on the right
49:4449 minutes, 44 secondshand side there. So, um, dash cam footage that was released by the Israelis, uh, immediately shows up in
49:5249 minutes, 52 secondsHezbollah's video to prove that they hit these targets, which by the way, Israel denied happened, which they do every
49:5949 minutes, 59 secondstime. And that is what working right now in this uh, den of lies that we are living in uh, is always challenging. So,
50:0950 minutes, 9 secondsuh, 44, there's just one more. Was that him walking around? Did we see him walking around? He's going to walk Israeli soldier here walking around. You
50:1750 minutes, 17 secondscan see all of the a number of the satellites destroyed. You can see um the main transmitter there also destroyed um
50:2650 minutes, 26 secondsat this satellite farm. So successful hits by Hezbollah. And just to give you a sense, Hezbollah in the first week
50:3350 minutes, 33 secondscarried out 153 operations. So in the first seven days, 153 operations uh 96
50:4150 minutes, 41 secondsuh into Israel, 57 into Israeli positions inside Lebanon. The targeting distance was 160 kilometers, so they've
50:5050 minutes, 50 secondsalready moved to the highest level um of depth of targeting as they were when the war left off. They're not re-entering um
50:5850 minutes, 58 secondsthe escalation ladder. They've targeted 36 military bases in those 153 attacks.
51:0451 minutes, 4 secondsUm they've downed three drones and they've used 90 missiles, nine artillery op 90 missile ops, 90 nine artillery
51:1151 minutes, 11 secondsops, um 29 drones. Um enemy losses, they suspect 19 military vehicles, um 74 fortifications and defensive positions,
51:2351 minutes, 23 secondswhich is what those BMS that we saw them getting hit on are. And that is just one week of of operations from Hezbollah. So
51:3251 minutes, 32 secondsthat is the Lebanon front. And I want to show you a little bit from Iraq um before we wrap up here. Um this is the
51:3951 minutes, 39 secondsuh Islamic resistance in Iraq targeting US bases. This is their own compilation. They put these videos out every day,
51:4751 minutes, 47 secondsmultiple times a day. Um but this is a compilation of their attacks. They are targeting the operation inherit resolve
51:5651 minutes, 56 secondsbase command headquarters in Herbiel. Um they're talking they're hitting facilities all over Iraq. Um the
52:0452 minutes, 4 secondsinherent resolve command in Herbiel is hit daily. Um but there's of course American positions all over Iraq that
52:1152 minutes, 11 secondsare being hit. Um the American presence headquarters back at Baghdad airport is being hit. Uh housing soldiers the
52:2052 minutes, 20 secondshousing units of soldiers on the occupation base in Airiel have been hit.
52:2452 minutes, 24 secondsThere you can see some of the aftermath of that. Um, and these are with uh largely with drones, although we're
52:3252 minutes, 32 secondsgoing to see on the next slide a um a cruise missile launched.
52:3752 minutes, 37 secondsThis is the Jamal 10. This is its debut flight. It's based on the Pava IRGC cruise missile that we saw launched earlier and particularly the missile
52:4652 minutes, 46 secondsthat we cruise missile we saw during Operation True Promise 1 and two when they sent the waves of drones ahead of
52:5352 minutes, 53 secondstime. Um, and the cruise missiles. So the drones go slow, cruise missiles go go faster, missiles go uh on an arcing
53:0253 minutes, 2 secondsballistic trajectory. And so when you send the three of them, it sends a multi-layered um attack. And for the uh Iraqi resistance here, I mark them down every day. They're at 291 operations.
53:1453 minutes, 14 secondsThey're averaging almost 30 a day uh against the American positions in uh in
53:2153 minutes, 21 secondsIraq. And those um the Pava the Jamal 10 that you saw the cruise missile that can target Israel and they said they did
53:2853 minutes, 28 secondstarget Israel with that. And with this one last slide just want to show you how the Americans are doing here. The
53:3653 minutes, 36 secondsPentagon has burned through $5.6 billion dollar worth of ammunition during the first two days of its military assault
53:4453 minutes, 44 secondson Iran. According to three US officials, a figure underscores the deepening alarm among some on Capitol
53:5153 minutes, 51 secondshills. 5.6 billion in 2 days to basically watch their uh entire military
53:5853 minutes, 58 secondsarchitecture in the Middle East be destroyed. So that is the resistance report for day 888 of Israel's genocide.

Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force has issued a chilling warning to the United States and Israel vowing relentless retaliation as the war enters a more dangerous phase. The force condemned what it called “unprovoked aggression” against Iran and pledged to continue resistance in loyalty to the slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. In a fiery statement the Quds Force warned it would “open the gates of fire” on its enemies and declared that US and Israeli targets would have no security anywhere in the world.

Iran's most feared and powerful branch of the revolutionary guards issued a chilling warning to the US and Israel.
The powerful Quds force branch of IRGC released a fierce statement calling the United States and Israel's action
against the Islamic Republic as unprovoked aggression.
In its message on March th, the Quds force vowed that Iran will not remain silent and that retaliation against the
attackers will be relentless. The Quds force described US and Israel's attacks towards Iran as a violation of
international law and human values. It further called the slain supreme leader Ayatollah Khamanei a heroic fighter and
guardian of the Muslims. The IRGC Quds force also asserted that Israel and US strikes have failed to dent the resolve
of the Islamic Republic and its allies in the regional axis of resistance. It added that that the allies had rather increased it in strength.
Iran's Quds force has issued a fiery warning to the United States and Israel,
vowing relentless retaliation after what it called the crossing of all red lines.

"We will open the gates of fire upon them and will not rest until the enemy is defeated.

The enemy must know that their days of comfort are over, and that they will have no security anywhere in the world -- not even in their own homes.

We will not cease resistance until global arrogance and international Zionism are eliminated, and that we will avenge the oppressed and the martyrs from the oppressors and the arrogant.

Our Imam, we remain committed to the pledges we made to you.

The elite unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it considers the fight against what it described as global arrogance and
Zionism a religious duty. The force warned that it will open the gates of fire on its enemies and will not stop
until they are defeated. It also issued a stark threat that the United States and Israel will have no security
anywhere in the world, not even in their own homes.
The Quds force declared that resistance will continue until what it called global arrogance and international Zionism are defeated. The elite unit of
the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it remains loyal to the slain leader Ali Khamaneim and vowed to avenge the oppressed.
IRGC Quds forces fierce reaction came as Iran launched waves of retaliatory strikes on American and Israeli targets across the region. Among the cities hit,
it said, were Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Hifa,
and Beer Sheva. The says the strikes are part of its ongoing retaliation following what it describes as unlawful
aggression by the United States and Israel.
IRGC Quds force is responsible for Iran's overseas military operations and coordination with allied groups across
the Middle East. As Iran's retaliation intensifies, the Quds force message makes one thing clear. For Iran's most
powerful military arm, the fight is far from over.

NATO Base Bombed: French Military Suffer Heavy Casualties In Iran-Linked Attack In Iraq's Erbil
Times Of India
Mar 12, 2026 #IraqAttack #DroneStrike #FrenchArmy

One French soldier killed and several others were wounded after a drone attack targeted a joint French-Peshmerga base near Erbil in northern Iraq. The strike comes amid escalating tensions linked to the widening Iran conflict, raising fears that Western troops could increasingly become targets across the region. Earlier, another drone also struck an Italian-run NATO facility near Erbil. France is now deploying naval forces across the Mediterranean, Red Sea and possibly the Strait of Hormuz. As European leaders warn of threats reaching EU territory like Cyprus, concerns grow that the conflict could expand dramatically.



Transcript

A new flash point in the Middle East war and this time European troops are caught in the crossfire. One French soldier was
killed and several others have been wounded after a suspected drone strike hit a joint French Peshmerga military
base in northern Iraq. The attack unfolded in the Makmore area near Herbiel, a key security hub where
Western forces are training Iraqi partners to combat terrorism.
French President Emanuel Mcronone announced the death of a French soldier following a drone attack on a joint Peshmerga France military base in
northern Iraq. The strike targeted the base in the Makmur area of Iraq's Erbil governorit where French forces are
stationed to train and support local partners in counterterrorism operations.
Mcronone confirmed that the attack killed one French soldier and wounded several others. The French president strongly condemned the strike, calling
the attack unjustifiable and vowing that France would continue its mission alongside allies in the region.
The French army also confirmed that six soldiers were injured while conducting counterterrorism training operations.
According to officials, the wounded troops were immediately evacuated to the nearest medical facility for treatment.
Local authorities in Iraq's Kurdistan region say the drone targeted a joint base in the Malakara subdist.
The governor of Erbil province, Omed Koshnau, confirmed the incident and stated that no Peshmerga fighters were
injured in the strike. But the attack is raising serious alarm across the region.
Security sources suggest the strike may have involved Iranian suicide drones, a tactic increasingly seen across the
Middle East as tensions with Iran escalate into open confrontation.
And this was not the only strike reported in the area. Earlier on Thursday, another drone attack targeted an Italian base near Herbiel. The
facility hosts NATO personnel as part of the US-led Operation Inherent Resolve mission. Italy's defense minister, Guido Crocetto, confirmed the attack,
describing it as a direct targeting of a NATO installation.
However, Italian authorities said that strike caused no casualties. The twin incidents are now fueling fears that
Western military positions in Iraq could be increasingly targeted as the wider conflict spreads.
France, meanwhile, is already moving forces across the region. Paris is deploying roughly two dozen naval
vessels, including its powerful aircraft carrier strike group, across the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and
potentially the Strait of Hormuz. The deployments are meant to provide defensive support to allies threatened by the widening war.
Vance is present to protect its own, to stand by its halas and his friends who have been struck and to be able to participate in missions that are so
essential for freedom of navigation and maritime security. It is within this strict framework that we operate.
We're not involved in an ongoing conflict.
We are operating within this very framework. Your presence here today clearly demonstrates the power of France
that of a balancing peaceful power standing alongside his friends once again aboard the Charles de Gaulle with the entire carrier strike group.
French President Emanuel Macron has also signaled Europe's growing concern about the conflict spilling onto the continent's doorstep. During a visit to
Cyprus earlier this week, Macron pledged that Europe would defend the island. the first European territory directly
threatened during the ongoing war involving Iran.
Speaking alongside Greek Prime Minister Keryakos Mitzotakis and Criate President Nikos Christo Dolides, Mcronone declared
that protecting Cyprus was not only a national issue for the island, but a strategic concern for France and the
entire European Union. His warning came after Cyprus reported a drone attack on one of its bases earlier in the
conflict. Sources say several missiles launched during the first days of the war were also believed to be heading toward Cyprus, but fell short before reaching their target.
Now, with Western troops wounded and NATO facilities under attack, fears are growing that the conflict may be widening far beyond its original front
lines. And the question now echoing across Europe and the Middle East is this. Are Western forces about to be pulled deeper into the war?
A pro-Iran Iraqi militant group announced a fresh operation against US military bases in the region. The armed
group Sarah Alia Alam said it carried out seven massive [music] attacks across Iraq. the targets, American installations.
The Iraqi Shiite insurgent faction also released footage showing the launch of a swarm of drones. The group also claimed it targeted vital US assets in Kuwait.
The footage shows masked militants preparing drones for a strike. A handwritten message purportedly for the US and Israel was tied to the drones.
The drones were then launched in the dead of night to evade enemy detection.
On March th, the group said it carried out four operations targeting US bases inside and outside Iraq. In a statement,
the militant group said, "In fulfillment of our religious duty and in retaliation for the blood of the supreme leader, the
martyed Imam Ali al-Husini al-Kamei and in deterrence of the aggression that led to the martyrdom of a group of young
Iraqi resistance [music] fighters, our brave mujahedin carried out four qualitative operations targeting
American bases inside and outside Iraq during the past hours. Similarly, on
March th, Sarah Alia Alam, which means Brigades of the Guardians of Blood,
released footage showing its targeting of the US Victoria base at Baghdad airport with a swarm of drones. The
footage shows preparation and reconnaissance of the military base followed by the launch of the drone swarm and the precise strike on the
target. Sarah Alia Alam is a faction of the Islamic resistance in Iraq is carrying out daily strikes targeting
American and Israeli bases and interests in Iraq and the region in response to the Israeli American aggression against Iran that began on February [music]
th.
Meanwhile, drones were launched late Wednesday toward the Iraqi Kurdistan region. Smoke was seen rising from the
area of the airport in Airbil following the attack. Associated Press reported that one intercepted drone fell near a
hotel in the Sad Abdullah Conference Hall complex in Airbil, a venue for high-level political meetings while
other attacks were launched towards Sullemania.
In Iraq's holy city of Najath, a powerful show of loyalty emerged where pilgrims gathered for a ceremony
honoring Iran's slain supreme leader Ayatollah Kamini. Crowds raised portraits of Kamei, who was killed
during the early days of the war between Iran, the United States, and Israel. The ceremony quickly turned into a political
message of defiance. Many pilgrims pledged loyalty to his son and successor, Mujaba Kamei, who was
recently chosen as the country's new supreme leader after his father's death.
Supporters at the gathering said the leadership of the Kameani family would [music] continue guiding Iran's resistance against its enemies. The
display in Najaf highlights how Iran's leadership transition is resonating beyond its borders, particularly among
supporters and [music] religious networks across the region.

Iran’s hypersonic cluster missile just hit Netanyahu’s secret bunker after press conference — OPTM
OPTM
Mar 12, 2026



Transcript

We are recording this today, the th of March. And what we are about to discuss isn't just another news bulletin. It is the sound of an empire crumbling. For
the past days, we have watched the so-called invincible entity of the Middle East get reduced to rubble. Not
by a superior conventional army, but by the sheer willpower of a nation they thought they could bomb into submission.
While the corporate western media is still trying to figure out how to spin this, the reality on the ground in occupied Palestine is utter chaos.
ran has released fresh visuals of its missile attack on Israel, US bases and Gulf countries. The images are of the moment of firing the Fati missile.
'm talking of course about the hypersonic deluge that Iran has unleashed. Forget everything you've heard about iron domes and arrow
ystems. Those are now relics of a bygone era. What we witnessed this week wasn't just an attack. It was a surgical
dismantling of the myth of Israeli supremacy. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IRGC, finally unveiled
the full scope of Operation True Promise And let me tell you, it was devastating. We aren't just talking about simple rockets here. These are the
KBAR Shakan and the Fatu, hypersonic beasts that move at speeds exceeding Mach They don't just fly, they
dance, they maneuver. They make a mockery of the Americanmade defense systems that Israel spent billions of dollars constructing. And specifically,
we saw the deployment of advanced cluster munitions raining down over Tel Aviv. The footage coming out of X.com,
which I encourage you to watch if you have the stomach for it, shows the sky lighting up not with interceptions, but with successful impacts. These cluster
bombs are designed for maximum psychological and physical destruction,
minutesand they found their mark. But the crown jewel of this retaliation, the strike that has sent a shiver down the spine of
every Zionist official, was the precision hit on the underground command center in Jerusalem. For years,
Netanyahu has paraded around the world stage like a peacock, threatening to break the bones of Iran. Well, it seems his own bones, or what's left of them,
are currently buried under several tons of concrete and debris in a bunker that was supposed to be impenetrable. Before
we dive into the absolute mystery surrounding the fate of King BB and his war cabinet, I need you to do something for me. I need you to hit that like
button. I need you to share this video far and wide. Why? Because the mainstream media, the BBC, the CNN, the
Sky News, they are all pariting the Israeli military censorship machine.
They are telling you that everything is fine, that the prime minister is working hard, that the economy is open. They are
minuteslying to you. If you want the truth, the raw, unvarnished truth about this war,
you need to support independent journalism. We don't have billionaires backing us. We have you. So, smash that subscribe button, turn on notifications,
and let's make sure that the resistance to this narrative is heard? Because if we don't speak the truth, who will? All
right, let's get into the mess. For days now, there has been a black hole where Benjamin Netanyahu used to be. And I'm not talking about his personality. I'm talking about his physical presence.
According to highlevel intelligence leaks and reports from Iranian news agencies like Tessim, the bunker that was hit wasn't just any bunker. It was
the National Crisis Management Center buried deep under the hills of Jerusalem. This is the facility they
built after the Lebanon war costing billions of shekels designed to withstand a nuclear blast. It had its own power supplies, communication lines,
minutesand living quarters for the entire security cabinet. It was supposed to be the place where Netanyahu would lead the nation to victory while the ordinary
settlers, the people whose children are actually doing the fighting power in concrete rooms above ground. But the hypocrisy here is staggering, isn't it?
They build these luxurious holes in the ground for their politicians, these vast underground cities. While the settlers
in places like Stro or the occupied Golan Heights are told to just trust the technology.
Well, the technology failed. The Kbar Sheekchen missile is a bunker buster. It is designed to penetrate deep into the earth before detonating. And the IRGC
confirmed that they targeted a specific coordinate deep in Jerusalem where Netanyahu was reportedly holding a war council with the head of the MSAD, David
Barnea. Now, let's talk about David Barnea because the silence on him is even louder than the silence on Netanyahu.
minutesBarnea, the man who swore to hunt down every Iranian threat, the architect of so many covert operations inside Iran,
he was in that bunker. And multiple sources, including a very frantic and quickly deleted tweet from an Israeli emergency responder account, showed
rescue teams, the Zaka teams, the ones who collect body parts for religious burial, swarming a collapsed structure in Jerusalem. You don't bring in Zaka
for a broken water pipe. You bring them in when there are pieces of people to collect. Now, the official Israeli line,
and I use the term official loosely because they haven't actually shown him, is that Netanyahu is alive and well.
They released a statement saying he visited the port of Ashdod. But here's the thing. Go look at that footage.
Really look at it. Does that look like a man who just survived a near-death experience? Or does it look like a body double? The lighting is always off. The
ears don't match perfectly. And why is he only speaking in pre-recorded videos?
minutesWhy hasn't he held a single press conference? Why has every single public appearance been cancelled? I'll tell you why. Because the man is either dead or
he is clinging to life with severe wounds and his handlers know that if the settlers find out their Mr. Security is gone, the uprising within the regime
will be worse than anything Hamas or Hezbollah could ever do. There is a massive information war happening. They are trying to buy time likely to get the
far-right extremists like Ben and Smotrich into line before the inevitable power vacuum emerges. And speaking of
Ben, that clown who walks around with a pistol demanding more bloodshed, he has vanished completely off the grid.
Reports are now circulating that he wasn't just injured in the aftermath of the missile strikes, but that he actually succumbed to his wounds.
Initial rumors claimed he was hurt in a car accident. That was the cover story floated by channel to explain his absence. But we know better, don't we?
We saw the footage. We saw the rescue services pulling someone who looked very much like a highranking official from a building that was absolutely not a car.
They are trying to drip feed us lies to soften the blow. But the reality is that the entire leadership echelon of this
rogue state has been decapitated. the Mossad chief, the prime minister, the national security minister, all taken
out in a single brilliant coordinated strike. That isn't luck. That is intelligence. That is the resistance
knowing exactly where the snakes were hiding. This brings me to the technology that changed the game. The hypersonic
missile. Iran has had this capability for a while, but they have now deployed it from underground launchpads, making them virtually impossible to destroy in
a first strike. We are talking about the Cororum SH the FATA. These missiles travel at to times the speed of
sound. By the time the air defense radars pick them up, the warheads are already impacting. There is no time to run to a shelter. There is no time to do
anything but pray. And when you put a bunker buster warhead on top of that speed, you effectively render every underground fortress obsolete. The
Israelis built their entire national security doctrine around the idea that their air force is untouchable and their bunkers are safe. That doctrine is now dead, buried in the rubble of Jerusalem,
right alongside David Barnea. As we move deeper into the second week of this war,
the contrast between the leadership and the people has never been starker. While Netanyahu was hiding in a bunker, a
bunker, by the way, that he fled to while calling on the brave youth of Israel to fight and die in Gaza and Lebanon, the ordinary people are the
ones paying the price. They are the ones sifting through the rubble of their apartments in Tel Aviv. They are the ones whose children are coming home in
bags, and yet their government lies to them. They tell them the war is going well, that Iran is on the back foot.
Meanwhile, Thran is functioning. The new Supreme Leader Moshtaba Kam has been appointed. The missile launches are increasing in frequency and intensity.
The IRGC is launching round after round of strikes, hitting American bases in Iraq, Bahrain, and Qatar with impunity,
the Americans. Let's not forget the elephant in the room. Donald Trump, the man who loves to project strength, is
standing on the sidelines watching his greatest ally in the Middle East burn.
He authorized operation epic fury thinking he could decapitate Iran in a weekend and instead he has unified the
region against him. The strikes that killed the previous Supreme Leader Ali Kam were supposed to be a knockout blow.
Instead they lit a fire and now the US is scrambling. You see it in the markets. Oil prices have smashed through
the $barrier. The straight of Hormuz is effectively closed and the global economy is teetering on the edge of a recession because of this reckless
gambit. The Gis panicking. But you know what Iran said? They said this is not a war of choice but a war of
necessity that was imposed on us and they are winning it. So this it leaves us in a state of high alert. Every hour
that passes without a verified live image of Netanyahu is another hour that points toward his demise. If he were
alive, if he were capable, he would be on every channel screaming about retaliation. The fact that we are getting silence or worse, grainy,
unconvincing videos from a port visit tells me everything I need to know. The body double theory is gaining traction not because we are conspiracy theorists,
but because we have seen this movie before. Dictatorships and occupation regimes always hide the death of their leaders until they can secure the line
of succession. But who succeeds Netanyahu? Who has the charisma to control the settler mobs? No one. The
movement is ruerless. As we wrap up this update, I want you to think about the sheer irony of it all. For decades,
Netanyahu stood at the United Nations with his diagrams of bombs, threatening to erase Iran from the map. He built
bunkers to protect himself from the very people he antagonized. And in the end,
it was those people, the Iranians, who reached through his billion-dollar defense systems, through his concrete
and steel, and reminded him that justice is inevitable. We will continue to monitor the situation. We will continue
to bring you the truth that they don't want you to hear. If you have any information, any videos, anything that contradicts the official lies, send them
to us. We will protect our sources. Stay safe, stay angry, and don't believe the propaganda. This war is far from over.
In fact, the real fighting might just be beginning. Subscribe, and I'll be back with more updates as soon as the rubble stops shaking in Jerusalem.

Iran Disrupts Netanyahu's First Speech With Ballistic Missile Attack
Global Military Update

#IranWar #MiddleEastCrisis #Iran #WarUpdate #MilitaryNews

Netanyahu’s first press conference since the war began was interrupted by yet another Iranian missile barrage — and in trying to project strength, he admitted something far more important: Israel still cannot fully stop or destroy Iran’s buried missile capability. Thirteen days in, with thousands of targets hit and billions already spent, Iran is still firing, Hezbollah is still launching rockets, and even Netanyahu conceded regime change cannot be guaranteed by military force alone.

Transcript

On March th, Benjamin Netanyahu held his first press conference since the war with Iran began. While he was claiming Israel is a global superpower,
air raid sirens went off across central Israel. As he was still speaking,
Israel's military confirmed it had detected a new barrage of missiles launched from Iran. The sixth salvo of the day. He could not hide from it.
days into this war, with more than targets struck and over billion dollars spent in the first week alone,
Iran is still firing ballistic missiles at Israel. Netanyahu tried to project strength. He talked about crushing the regime. He talked about eliminating
Iran's leadership, but buried in that press conference was an admission that contradicts everything Israel and America have been saying since the bomb started falling. And once you hear it,
the rest of this war looks completely different. Over the next few ,
I'm going to break down exactly what Netanyahu admitted. Why US intelligence directly contradicts his biggest claim and where this conflict is heading next.
Remember what the public was told in the first week. The IDF said it had destroyed Iranian missile launchers.
Reports cited a % drop in Iranian fire toward Israel. Officials claimed roughly /ers of Iran's launch capability had been wiped out. The message from both America and Israel was clear.
Overwhelming force, mission nearly accomplished. Iran on its knees. Now listen to what Netanyahu said days
in. He told reporters that Iran had been burying its missile and nuclear capabilities deep underground. He said that if they had not acted when they
did, within months those weapons would have become immune to any attack. That word immune. That is not a leader describing an enemy he has already
beaten. That is a leader explaining why the enemy is still shooting back. He is telling you the campaign has limits. He is telling you there are assets the
coalition cannot reach. A journalist reporting from Ramala flagged it in real time, calling it a stark contrast to what officials had been claiming since
the opening strikes, and the enemy is still shooting back. Quick, before we continue, thanks a lot for tuning in.
Your support is what keeps this show going, and I appreciate you watching. As always, please make sure you're subscribed and like the video so more
people get to see this. Now, on that same day, March th, six separate ballistic missile salvos came in from Iran. Hezbollah simultaneously launched
over rockets from Lebanon at central Israel in what the IDF described as a coordinated joint operation. A missile struck a home in Haniel. A rocket hit a house in Beina, injuring civilians.
Schools across the entire country remain shut. Israel is still operating under a national state of emergency. Two weeks into a war that was supposed to be swift
and decisive. Netanyahu himself told Fox News on day four that this would be a quick and decisive action. It has been
neither. The deadliest single event of this conflict landed days earlier in Beth Sheamesh, roughly mi from Jerusalem. An Iranian ballistic missile
hit a communal shelter inside a synagogue. Nine civilians were killed.
Dozens more were wounded. Two Israeli interceptors were fired at that incoming warhead. Both missed. And here is the part that should concern every defense
planner watching. The sirens in the area did not activate in time to give residents the standard -cond warning window. Iran's ballistic missiles can
reach Israel in roughly from launch. The entire civil protection model depends on early detection, timely alerts, and functional intercepts. At
Bait Sheamesh, all three failed simultaneously. That is not a marginal glitch. That is a structural exposure in the very architecture Israel has built
its survival doctrine around. When the interceptors miss and the sirens lag,
the shelter is not protection. It is a trap. Stay with me because what Netanyahu said next about regime change contradicts what American intelligence
has been telling the White House for weeks. And that gap is the most dangerous fault line in this entire war right now. Netanyahu told reporters that one of his core objectives is to create
the conditions for the Iranian people to expel their brutal regime. Then a journalist asked him directly whether he could guarantee that outcome. And he said it. He said he cannot promise %
that the regime will fall without the Iranian people themselves rising up. He told Iranians, "Help is on the way, but at the end of the day, it is up to you."
Think about what that means from a wartime leader in the middle of an active campaign. It is an admission that the military operation by itself cannot
deliver the stated political goal. The US called this operation epic fury. Israel called it operation roaring lion.
The opening salvo on February th killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Kam in a targeted strike on a compound in
Thran. Billions spent thousands of sorties. The Supreme Leader dead. And the man directing the strikes says the outcome still depends on Iranian civilians taking to the streets. Now,
hold that against what US intelligence has assessed. A classified report by the National Intelligence Council, completed before the first bomb even dropped,
concluded that neither limited air strikes nor a prolonged military campaign would be likely to result in regime change in Iran. That assessment was written in February The
National Intelligence Council is not a fringe body. It represents the consensus view of all major American intelligence agencies. Since that initial assessment,
, secondmultiple follow-up reports have reached the same conclusion. sources described a multitude of intelligence analyses, all providing consistent findings that the
regime is not in danger and retains control of the Iranian public. The most recent of these was completed just days before Netanyahu held his press
conference. Even a senior Israeli official privately acknowledged to Reuters that there is no certainty the war will lead to the collapse of the
clerical government. And here is what makes this worse. Iran did not descend into chaos after Kame was killed and consolidated. The assembly of experts
convened within days and selected Mojaba Kamune, the dead leader's son, as the new supreme leader. He is described by multiple analysts as more hardline than
his father. His first statement as supreme leader was read aloud on Iranian state television. He did not appear on camera. That raises obvious questions
about where he is and how secure he feels physically, but the substance of the statement was defiant. He vowed to avenge Iranian blood and explicitly
declared that the Strait of Hormuz would remain a tool of pressure against the West. The regime did not fracture. It promoted from within. It issued
commands. It kept launching. When a journalist asked Netanyahu what fate awaited Moaba and Hezbollah leader Naimm Casm, his answer was a public assassination threat delivered casually.
He said if he were an insurance agent,
he would not write either man a life insurance policy. That line dominated the headlines. But step back and ask what it actually reveals. days into
the most expensive military campaign since the invasion of Iraq, the leader running it is still issuing personal threats against the two figures
whose removal was supposedly the entire point. They are alive. The regime is intact. The command structure is functioning and the missiles keep
arriving. We will come back to the financial toll of this conflict shortly.
But first, there's another front that deserves attention because Netanyahu got confronted with something he said two years ago and his response revealed a problem Israel does not want to talk
about openly. A reporter reminded him that in he told the Israeli public that military strikes had set Hezbollah back years. The reporter then asked the obvious question, "If that was true,
how is Hezbollah currently firing rockets a day into Israel?" Netanyahu did not answer directly. He reframed. He said, "The original threat projections
were catastrophic. Towers falling in Tel Aviv, Israelis dead, cities leveled." None of that happened, he argued, because Israel struck Hezbollah
aggressively. But then he said something that undercuts his entire position. He admitted on the record that Hezbollah continues to be capable of attacking us.
That is a sitting prime minister conceding that a force he publicly declared neutralized years ago is conducting sustained offensive
operations against his country right now. The ground reality backs that up completely. On March th, the IDF carried out rare strikes on Hezbollah
positions in central Beirut outside the traditional Dahier stronghold. That is a meaningful escalation in targeting scope. Israeli ground forces pushed
further into southern Lebanon targeting Radwan force installations. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned the Lebanese government that Israel is prepared to
widen ground operations and ordered civilians south of the Zerani River to evacuate. Senior Israeli defense officials warned privately that
Hezbollah still holds a large inventory of launchers and intends to grind the IDF down over time. Israel is now locked in a two-front war with no clear end
point for either theater. Now, here is the number that ties everything together. The Straight of Hormuz has been effectively closed for nearly two
weeks. The IRGC declared that not a single liter of oil would pass through and threatened to set ablaze any vessel that attempts the crossing. Since
February th, at least separate attacks on commercial ships have been documented in and around the straight. Eight seafares are dead. One is missing.
Roughly vessels are stranded. Iran has planted about a dozen naval mines in the waterway. The US military confirmed it attacked Iranian mine laying
vessels near the straight after Trump warned Tran against placing mines. But the mines are already there. Brent crude shot from approximately $per barrel
before the war to over $within the first days. American gasoline prices have climbed % since the conflict
began. The International Energy Agency responded by announcing that its member nations would collectively release million barrels from
emergency oil reserves, the largest coordinated draw down in the AY's history. Saudi Arabia started rerouting its maritime trade to Red Sea ports to
bypass the strait entirely. And the IRGC's public message to the world was blunt. Expect oil at $a barrel. And this war is costing far more than oil.
The Pentagon confirmed to the Senate Armed Services Committee that the first six days of operations alone ran over billion. That makes this the most
expensive American military engagement since the opening phase of the Iraq invasion. More than cities across Iran have been hit. And the costs are
not just American. Iran struck Gulf states indiscriminately. Saudi Arabia intercepted drones on March th alone. The UAE stopped missiles and
drones the same day. Qatar had to shut down liqufied natural gas production at its two largest facilities after Iranian strikes hit the
installations directly. European natural gas futures jumped roughly % after Qatar went offline because Qatar supplies a major share of Europe's LNG
imports. The US embassy compound in Kuwait was struck. British forces at a base in Urbil, Iraq, came under fire. At
least seven American service members have been killed across the region. Iran has launched retaliatory strikes on at least different locations hosting US
military personnel. A later FBI bulletin warned California law enforcement about a possible Iranian drone retaliation scenario, but Reuters reported it was
based on a single unverified tip, and the White House said no such threat to the US homeland existed. The civilian toll inside Iran is devastating and
growing. The Iranian Red Crescent reported nearly killed. Human rights organizations say the actual number exceeds Iran's deputy health
minister stated that major hospitals have been damaged and are completely non-functional. A girl's school in the southern city of Manab was struck during
, secondthe campaign. Reuters reported that investigators believed US forces were likely responsible, that the Pentagon says the case remains under
investigation and the two sources said outdated. Targeting data may have been to blame. In Lebanon, people have been killed since Israel expanded its
campaign, of them children. And through all of this destruction, the political payoff Netanyahu expected from the war has not arrived. A poll released
while he was still on that Zoom call showed him losing a seat in projected election outcomes. He launched this conflict partly as a political calculation ahead of Israeli elections
that could come as early as June or July. Al Jazzer's correspondent in Ramala reported that Netanyahu anticipated the war would consolidate public support and position him for another term. That is not materializing.
His corruption trial continues. Israel's pardons department completed a formal review of his pardon request and found it does not meet the legal criteria. And the man he is counting on, Donald Trump,
publicly called Israeli President Isaac Herszog, weak, pathetic, and a disgrace for not issuing that pardon. Netanyahu
refused to push back against Trump on camera. He said the president can say whatever he wants. He described their relationship as a hundfold stronger than
anything between previous leaders. They speak daily, he claimed openly. But Trump has also told reporters he wants this war finished soon. He said the question now is just when do we stop?
Netanyahu needs the conflict to extend long enough to avoid the courtroom and reach election day from a position of strength. Their strategic clocks are running in opposite directions. And the
longer this gap widens, the harder it becomes to define what victory even means for either of them. Share this with anyone following this war right
now. Iran is still launching ballistic missiles at Israel days into the campaign. Netanyahu admitted he cannot guarantee regime change. US intelligence
says the regime is not in danger. Most Kam is issuing orders from hiding. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. Oil cracked
a $The IEA released million barrels from reserves. Hezbollah is firing rockets a day from Lebanon.
Seven Americans are dead across the region. The war has cost over billion in under a week. and the prime minister steering this entire operation held his
first press conference on a Zoom call while incoming fire sent his own population underground. The stated objective was the fall of the Iranian
government. days in, the government is still standing. The missiles are still flying and no one on any side has been able to define what a realistic
ending actually looks like. Thanks a lot for watching. I really appreciate your support. Join the discussion in the comments below. Let me know your thoughts. Who do you think is winning

Iran's boat squad just damaged USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in Persian Gulf - OPTM
OPTM
Mar 13, 2026



Transcript

Welcome back. I want to talk to you about something that the corporate media in the West is either downplaying,
outright ignoring, or spinning with the kind of tired propaganda we've unfortunately come to expect. While they're busy running interference for
the Pentagon, a story of epic proportions is unfolding in the Arabian Sea. One that should have every American asking serious questions. We are getting
reports confirmed by multiple Iranian news agencies and now circulating on X and Telegram channels that the Iranian
army has successfully struck the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. Iran's powerful Islamic Revolution Guard Corps
IRGC made a stunning move after the US military confirmed that Iranian Naval Forces attempted an attack on its
warship. According to the statements released by the IRGC, their naval forces launched a combination of missiles and drones targeting the American carrier.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard claims it launched a massive missile and drone attack on the American aircraft carrier
USS Abraham Lincoln, causing heavy damage and forcing it to retreat.
And when I say struck, I don't mean a near miss. We're talking about a direct devastating hit by a combination of
uicide drones and long range missiles that has left the mighty American warship damaged and by all accounts retreating. Let's just let that sink in for a moment. The United States Navy,
the self-proclaimed master of the global seas, has had its flagship asset humiliated in the Arabian Sea. According
to reports from Thrron Times and Press TV, which I track closely because they tell the truth that our media hides, the
operation was meticulously planned. The Abraham Lincoln was operating roughly nautical miles off the coast of Iran,
essentially in their backyard, when the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps Navy decided to teach Washington a lesson it
won't soon forget. We're hearing that a barrage was launched. Swarms of Shahed drones, which the US has arrogantly
dismissed as slow and stupid, combined with anti-hship ballistic missiles that left the carrier's much vaunted defense
system scrambling. The result, a catastrophic failure. Sources indicate that at least one missile punched through the defense perimeter and slammed into the flight deck.
Immediately after the explosion,
eyewitness accounts and intercepted communications suggest that a fighter jet, possibly an FApreparing for
takeoff or just landing, was caught in the blast and crashed on the deck,
triggering secondary explosions and a massive fire. Before we go any further,
if you are someone who values journalism, that isn't afraid to tell the truth, that refuses to be a mouthpiece for the military-industrial
complex, please take a moment to hit that like button. It really helps more people see this report. And if you haven't already, subscribe to the
channel. We are building a community of people who want to understand what's really happening in the world, not the sanitized version they feed you on the
evening news. Your support is what keeps this honest journalism alive. Now, let's talk about the lies because oh boy, the
lies are flowing out of US Central Command faster than the oil that Trump keeps promising to lower the price of.
The official line, the one they want you to believe, is that there was a fire on board caused by an internal mechanical
incident. They're trying to pass off a direct hit from an Iranian missile as a kitchen fire. It's almost insulting.
They expect the American public to be that dumb. Just days before this, the same US military was boasting that they
had taken out an Iranian vessel that came too close to the carrier. Think about that narrative. They want you to
believe they are so dominant that they can sink Iranian boats at will, but simultaneously they want you to believe
that this massive $billion warship suddenly had an internal fire in the middle of a highstakes standoff. The
cognitive dissonance is staggering. It's a classic damage control tactic. They know the truth is too embarrassing, too
worlds shattering, so they spin a yarn about a faulty generator or a grease fire in the galley. It's pathetic, and we aren't buying it. So, where was the
ship hit? From the intelligence I'm gathering from open- source intelligence accounts that have been monitoring naval movements and corroborating them with
Iranian state media, the damage appears to be focused on the starboard side of the flight deck near the aft elevator.
This is the absolute worst place to get hit. That area is the nerve center for landing operations and ordinance movement. The crash of the aircraft on
deck would have turned the area into an inferno, likely cooking off ammunition and jet fuel. The extent of the damage
means the Abraham Lincoln is completely combat ineffective. It can't launch or recover aircraft. It's a floating hulk
that needs to be towed or escorted out of the danger zone. And that is precisely what we are seeing. The warships on the run. The entire battle
group is in disarray. Pulling back to who knows where. Likely thousands of miles away to a friendly port in the Mediterranean or maybe even back to the
US East Coast for the most humiliating repairs in naval history. This withdrawal is a massive problem for the
Trump administration. You've had Trump paring on social media and in press conferences trying to calm the flames of the oil market, promising that
everything is fine, that the US Navy has everything under control.
I just said the major things are going down. Oil is great. Oil is way ahead of schedule, and that's because of our
policies. But oil is down into the uh $$range now per barrel. Uh, and I
told you in certain states we have less than $for gasoline. And uh, food is
down, groceries, as we call it, are down. Uh, other than interest rates,
everything's down. Interest rates are pretty flat. They're not, it's not that they're up, but we should be better than flat. We should, if he would lower the
interest rate, I think would have a good impact on that, too. But the costs are down. We have very little inflation. I would say we have essentially no
inflation. Hard to have inflation when oil goes down and oil goes down. When when uh Biden came in, oil went through the roof. That's what caused our
problem. That and his very dumb spending, but uh when the oil prices go down and they have gone down a lot.
We've gotten it down really good. We've opened it up and we've gotten them down.
And that means that uh people driving cars are going to be paying $and $instead of $.
And you know even at the end they tried they tried just for the purpose of the election to get it down. But they had
really lost that sucker. That was really it was not good. But uh if they had won oil right now would be at $or $
because of their policy and we're going to be at about $Could be even a little bit less than that. And you're starting to see it. We now have the US
energy secretary Chris Wright admitting and this is public record that the US Navy cannot escort any ship through the
straight of Hormuz right now. He used the phrase can't happen now. He tried to spin it by saying they are focused on destroying Iran's offensive
capabilities. But let's translate that from bureaucrat speak to English. It means we are not ready. We tried to pick a fight and we got our teeth kicked in.
We are regrouping. Uh it is my my belief that as soon as it is militarily possible uh the US Navy perhaps with an
international coalition uh will be escorting vessels through and that came up just now in in the situation.
Uh your words not mine.
But but again we'll we've been planning for this. We we've done scenario analysis for for months for weeks the leading into this.
So but it's a prospect in in the coming days then uh it it is a prospect as soon as you we we have complete control of the skies
and are degrading their they have no air force that the the
navy is sunk literally and figuratively and um the munitions factories the
rebuilding capabilities for the missiles complet completely degraded. So as soon
as it is possible for safe p to ensure safe passage, uh we will do it.
For years, the American military establishment has laughed at Iran.
They've written them off, called them amateurs, and assumed that years of sanctions had gutted their military-industrial base. But the
Iranians have been patient. They've been watching. They've been planning. They know that the Achilles heel of the
American Empire is its navy. They know that one sunk aircraft carrier isn't just a military loss. It's a psychological blow that shatters the myth of invincibility. And right now,
they have the opportunity. They are restless. The rhetoric coming out of Tyrron is clear. They are not stopping until one of these big deck carriers is
at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. They see this as their historic moment, the moment they avenge decades of assassinations, sabotage, and threats.
The US thought it could bully its way through the Strait of Hormuz. But Iran has turned it into a graveyard for American prestige. And while all of this
is happening, while the US Navy is literally on the run, we have Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel puffing out his chest. Did you catch his latest
statement? He said Israel is becoming a global superpower. We are in historic days,
days that will be written in the annals of Israel in operation roaring line. Our roar is going and intensifying.
We are pummeling the Islamic regime into Iran. We are pummeling its uh emissaries
Hezbollah and Lebanon. There's unprecedented coordination between Israel and the US and achieved substantial achievements that are
changing the reality in the West Bank in the Middle East and beyond. These achievements are increasing the status
of Israel as uh superpower more than ever through our power and as an in opposition to the power of our enemies.
This is what is ensuring our survival.
Our threats come and go, but when we become a regional superpower and in many respects a global superpower, we have
the power to push away threats and ensure our future. In
I published a article in one of the newspaper in which I wrote the biggest threat to the state of Israel is not in
Arab states, but it is in Iran. Since then, for over years, the Ayatollah,
the murderous Ayatollah regime indeed has acted to attack the US and the West,
but first and foremost, it worked to implement its plan to destroy the state of Israel.
Let's just sit with the absurdity of that for a second. A man who is effectively a fugitive from justice in his own country, propped up by a
far-right coalition, standing on a piece of land the size of New Jersey, is declaring global superpower status. He's
unfurled his mass completely. This isn't about defending the Jewish people anymore. That was always a smokeokc screen. This is about empire. This is
about the messianic dream of a greater Israel. He sees the United States faltering. He sees the American Navy getting beaten. and he thinks this is
his moment to step into the void. It's delusional. It's dangerous. And it's exactly the kind of hubris that has
dragged the entire region to the brink of a war that no one except the extremists in Tel Aviv and Washington actually wants. He talks about
superpowers while his region sits on a powder keg. All because the US couldn't handle a few speedboats and drones. The irony is thick enough to cut with a knife.
