[00:00:29] of of
[00:00:35] of Tops sorry on press tv, the Islamic Revolution
[00:00:39] Guard course says it shot down and destroyed another American MQ1
[00:00:43] drone over the straight of
[00:00:47] of hormones. Iran and
[00:00:50] Iraq's Kurdistan region announce their determination
[00:00:53] of to bolster border security and battle
[00:00:57] of terrorism.
[00:01:01] and
[00:01:01] at least three civilians are killed in fresh site air strikes in yemen's
[00:01:04] southwestern province of
[00:01:06] taiz.
[00:01:20] of
[00:01:24] hello everyone, welcome to press tv world news. our
[00:01:28] top story Iran's Islamic
[00:01:29] in Revolution. Guard course says a shot down another
[00:01:32] of USMQ1 drone
[00:01:33] of over the straight of hormos
[00:01:34] in a short statement IRGC said two such drones were in fact targeted and
[00:01:38] destroyed there in the past 24 hours adding over the past days in fact
[00:01:42] four MQ1 drones have been shot down over the strategic
[00:01:45] waterway
[00:01:47] a uranza armed forces have shot down scores of other US aircraft as well
[00:01:50] including MQ9
[00:01:52] in Reaper drones since the US is really imposed war in the country started back in late
[00:01:56] February and just few days ago Iran also sees a US military under
[00:02:00] water drone over the hormones
[00:02:01] straight.
[00:02:06] youran's parliament speaker, it says the US and Israel were delusional to think they'll break
[00:02:10] the nation's will with their military aggression. muhammad says that the Iranian
[00:02:14] nations already shattered that delusion by street rallies held every
[00:02:17] single night since aggression began 200 days back
[00:02:21] of in a message to mark the 209th of uh rallies
[00:02:25] khadib said people's turn out undermined enemies
[00:02:28] a calculations. he also stressed the people. resistance is
[00:02:30] a reason for every failure
[00:02:32] of the enemy's plots. Meanwhile, commander
[00:02:34] of the IRGC's aerospace force separately described the night rallies as
[00:02:38] uprising in defense of Iran's independence. General
[00:02:41] Majid Musavi called on everyone to keep unit
[00:02:45] of affairs increasingly defined by ability to see through in adversarie defenses,
[00:02:49] strike
[00:02:49] of with of precision and adapt rapidly under fire. Nearly 200 days until
[00:02:53] US's really aggression against Iran and the conflict has put Islamic Republic's
[00:02:57] years of
[00:02:58] of investment in indigenous military hardware. to test, revealing capacity
[00:03:02] that Tehan says has challenged long-standing assumptions by the country's
[00:03:05] a defensive and offensive
[00:03:07] of strength. It has been 200 days
[00:03:11] since the start
[00:03:12] of the U.S. Israeli aggression against Iran. During this period,
[00:03:16] Iran has showcased range of military capabilities that, according
[00:03:20] to Iranian
[00:03:20] in officials, took the adversary by surprise and demonstrated
[00:03:24] capabilities it had not expected Tehran to
[00:03:26] possess.
[00:03:31] One
[00:03:31] of the most notable areas was air defense. Iran says its air defense
[00:03:35] systems have made significant advances in recent years, particularly in
[00:03:39] detection, tracking
[00:03:40] and interception. During the war, Iranian
[00:03:43] of forces detected and destroyed an
[00:03:45] of F-15, while also detecting tracking and bringing an F-35 into
[00:03:49] of the engagement envelope of Iranian air defense systems, challenging the
[00:03:53] assumption that the aircraft could not be detected or engaged by such
[00:03:57] systems. Iran also
[00:03:59] of says its air defense. has detected and destroyed dozens of advanced enemy
[00:04:03] drones, including
[00:04:04] in US-made MQ9 and Israeli Hermes
[00:04:07] drones.
[00:04:08] a Iranian officials say these operations prove the progress not only in
[00:04:12] conventional air defense systems, but also in the ability to
[00:04:15] detect, track and counter newer forms of aerial threats.
[00:04:19] another major
[00:04:20] in development came in Iran's attacks on US military facilities across West
[00:04:24] Asia, following the start
[00:04:26] of the aggression on February 28th. Iran says it targeted U.S.
[00:04:30] and military facilities in the
[00:04:31] of UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and
[00:04:35] Iraq. The strikes involved range of Iranian ballistic missiles
[00:04:39] including the Foto One, Koramsar 4,
[00:04:42] Sejil, Haj Gasim and Hebrekan. The photo one is
[00:04:46] in solid fuel missile with
[00:04:50] in a of reported range of around 1,400 kms and a maneuverable re-entry vehicle designed to alter
[00:04:54] its trajectory during the terminal phase, potentially complicating
[00:04:57] interception, the Koramsar 4. has
[00:05:00] a reported range of around 2,000 kilometers and is designed to carry
[00:05:04] a large warhead for long-range strikes. the segil is
[00:05:07] two-stage solid fuel ballistic missile giving it
[00:05:10] substantial regional reach. and allowing for faster launch preparation
[00:05:14] than liquid fuel systems. Iran also used the Hajgasm,
[00:05:18] solid fuel ballistic missile with reported range of around
[00:05:21] 1,400 km and a maneuverable re-entry
[00:05:25] vehicle designed for precision strikes, the Hibascheken, another
[00:05:29] solid fuel ballistic missile has also featured prominently in the
[00:05:33] conflict with Iranian forces reportedly using it against US
[00:05:36] military positions in the region. Its maneuverable terminal
[00:05:40] trajectory is intended to make interception. more difficult. Then
[00:05:44] in early September, Iran said it used newly developed
[00:05:47] electro-optical missiles for the first time against US
[00:05:50] warships. The missiles use cameras and optical sensors to
[00:05:53] identify and track targets, allowing them to operate without relying
[00:05:57] on GPS. Iran says this makes them less vulnerable to
[00:06:01] electronic jamming. Mosan Rezi, Iran's newly appointed
[00:06:05] secretary the Supreme National Security Council, also said new
[00:06:09] special anti-destroyer missile had been used in a strike. Describing it as
[00:06:13] part of new approach to Iran's defense policy, Iranian officials say the
[00:06:17] military is now collecting operational data from the conflict and feeding it
[00:06:21] into intelligence analysis, military universities, research
[00:06:25] institutions and defense industries to improve equipment and tactics.
[00:06:29] Tehran also emphasizes the use of domestically developed systems whose
[00:06:32] technical characteristics are less familiar to its adversaries,
[00:06:36] making it more difficult for them to develop effective counter-measures.
[00:06:40] Iranian military officials stress that the capabilities demonstrated during
[00:06:44] the war represent only part the country's overall military
[00:06:47] capacity, they say Iran deliberately avoids exposing all of its
[00:06:51] weapons, technologies and tactics in a single conflict,
[00:06:55] keeping some capabilities undisclosed for future
[00:06:57] contingencies.
[00:07:01] Iraq's patriotic union of Kurdistan and Iran reaffirmed a commitment to
[00:07:05] expanding economic ties and cooperation for border security and to combat
[00:07:09] terrorism. Iran's foreign minister,
[00:07:12] with the PUK President in
[00:07:16] Tehran. He stressed Iran's readiness to expand trade and economic
[00:07:19] ties with Iraq's Kurdistan region. I thought she also went Iran's
[00:07:23] Kurdish friends as well as regional countries should remain vigilant against false
[00:07:27] flag schemes aimed at creating divisions among neighbors. Talibani for
[00:07:31] his part described Iran as the strongest and ever presence supporter the Iraqi
[00:07:34] people pledging to strengthen political, security and economic
[00:07:38] ties. He said the baghdad and the Kurdistan region will not allow Iraq.
[00:07:42] territory to become a safe haven for groups that pose
[00:07:46] any kind of threat to Iran or regional
[00:07:48] countries. meanwile at least three
[00:07:52] civilians are killed in latest saudi air strikes in two yemini areas in the
[00:07:55] southwestern province of Thaiz, yemanz health ministry said to the victims
[00:07:59] were children. Saudi fighter jets also bombedd a government building in
[00:08:03] khadir district. the province has been a focus of Saudi air strikes in
[00:08:07] recent days. this while Yemen's arm forces have launched large scale missile and
[00:08:11] drone strikes. heavily damaging Saudi Arabia's king Khalid airbase
[00:08:15] and Khamis Musait. They won about roder operations if
[00:08:19] Saudi aggression continues. The anserla is also said to captured additional
[00:08:22] strategic islands in the southern Red
[00:08:24] Sea.
[00:08:30] Across thousands of square kilometers along the western coast, sanat
[00:08:34] forces executed the swift wide scale operation to clear
[00:08:37] Saudi back to Broxies from their long held positions
[00:08:41] with spoke.
[00:08:42] directly with the frontline fighters who led the
[00:08:45] operation. We have been receiving distress
[00:08:49] calls from the citizens for over four years. They have no
[00:08:53] electricity, the heat is literally killing them, no gas and no
[00:08:57] decent living conditions. They were even prevented from
[00:09:00] accessing these
[00:09:01] coasts.
[00:09:06] We clashed with the enemy, the treachous mercenary who sold his honor for the Saudi
[00:09:10] Rial. By the will of God. the confrontation
[00:09:14] unfolded beyond anything we could expect or imagine, the enemy
[00:09:18] fled, like animals fleeing from lions, it was an
[00:09:21] unprecedented victory and we thank God almighty for
[00:09:24] it, for
[00:09:28] the mercenaries fear took control, they
[00:09:31] ran, they tried escape and
[00:09:33] withdraw, but ended up
[00:09:37] colliding with one another, dying in chotic
[00:09:40] accident in the past.
[00:10:12] the fish in the sea, armored vehicles as plentiful as the trees on
[00:10:16] earth, and soldiers as many soldiers securing the western coast is
[00:10:20] only the beginning, vowing to press forward until every remaining
[00:10:24] governate is... liberated, the momentum on the ground has
[00:10:28] already rewritten the
[00:10:29] map. over 5,000
[00:10:33] square kilometers are swept in just days, this tv
[00:10:36] moka.
[00:10:57] Welcome everyone to Press TV's news review program where we get in-depth in one the
[00:11:00] days top stories:
[00:11:03] now China has urged the US to stop preparing for war in outer space
[00:11:07] after Washington confirmed deployment of weapons into orbit for a
[00:11:11] first time. We
[00:11:15] urge the US side to stop expanding its military capabilities and preparing
[00:11:19] for war in outer space and to take concrete actions safeguard global
[00:11:22] strategic stability.
[00:11:27] China's uh foreign ministry further uh warned that the deployment
[00:11:30] risks turning outer space into a battlefield and fueling and arms
[00:11:34] race. On Monday USA Air Force Secretary said the space force has operational
[00:11:38] weapons and orbit capable of responding to threats from
[00:11:41] adversaries. China's reaction to the announcement comes a mid growing
[00:11:45] competition between the two economic powers, the militarization of space
[00:11:49] though dates all the way back to the cold war era and then there's a
[00:11:53] 1967 outer space treaty. banned weapons of mass destruction
[00:11:56] in orbit, but does not prohibit other forms of military
[00:12:00] activity in
[00:12:01] space.
[00:12:09] now join us for the program is for Harley Stanger, a spokesperson at International Schiller
[00:12:13] Institute a Potsdam, Germany and John Bost, journalist, activist
[00:12:17] and political analyst joining us from Fredricton Canada, gentlemen,
[00:12:21] hello and it's a pleasure to have you both on Hardy, we're going to start with you if we could...
[00:12:25] Okay, the ramifications uh of of this move from
[00:12:28] your perspective, a time when the US tax payer is really pressed economically and
[00:12:32] financially.
[00:12:36] Are you starting with me? I'm starting with Mr. Pots out there,
[00:12:40] Mr. Schlonganger and Potsdia, yeah, I think that's a
[00:12:44] factor, but I i think that's a minor factor. The bigger problem is
[00:12:48] there's a reorganization going on inside the
[00:12:51] Pentagon, which includes discussion of being.
[00:12:55] to use nuclear weapons as tactical weapons and
[00:12:59] not falling behind in any area of
[00:13:03] weaponry, and so on this idea of going into
[00:13:06] space with weapons, it's a foolish
[00:13:10] idea, it's a provocation, and it's without
[00:13:13] any real reason for it other than the
[00:13:17] paranoia that the Chinese and India
[00:13:20] and other countries are moving ahead the United States when it comes to space.
[00:13:25] technology and overall military technology, so
[00:13:29] the idea that you're going to somehow protect the interest the
[00:13:33] United States by putting weapons in space, is the same kind of
[00:13:36] foolishness that we saw during the cold war with the
[00:13:40] build up of missiles inside Europe, and of course we see
[00:13:44] now this is the direction that the US is is
[00:13:48] going as they fear they're losing influence and losing economic
[00:13:52] power, instead they're they're talking about weapons
[00:13:55] and and I think this is a potential disaster in the
[00:13:58] making all good point there and
[00:14:01] Johnson out of Canada john
[00:14:05] uh and when this is the first
[00:14:06] and I'm Mr Harvey made a couple good points there when this is a
[00:14:09] first and and you have a treaty there
[00:14:13] why not amend the treaty make it stronger and when you're a first
[00:14:17] obviously you
[00:14:18] have to assume others are going to follow when you're the first you can actually
[00:14:21] not take that step you can try to make that treaty a treaty strong. instead of
[00:14:25] exploit it, manipulated, because now you're going to expect what, someone
[00:14:29] a Moscow to follow suit, you're going to have parties a Beijing,
[00:14:33] possibly New Delhi and elsewhere, and who knows what space tomorrow could
[00:14:37] look like? well, first of all, you've got
[00:14:41] to, you've got to take into consideration that the United
[00:14:44] States is a state of flux, the United States realizes that their
[00:14:48] empire is finished, and that they can no longer control things the way
[00:14:52] they
[00:14:52] did in the past, so they are... attempting to expand their
[00:14:56] military base into space. This is another own
[00:14:59] goal on the part of Trump, which leads me to once again suggest that
[00:15:03] Trump may be a self-destructive
[00:15:07] candidate who became the president to destroy the
[00:15:11] empire from the inside, like Samson pulled
[00:15:15] down the temple from the inside, because we
[00:15:19] know that Russia is far,
[00:15:22] far, far ahead. the United States in
[00:15:26] missile technology and targeting technology,
[00:15:30] so if there is a war in space, the satellite systems that
[00:15:34] will go down are the worldwide GPS. system on
[00:15:38] which the US military relies, and the
[00:15:41] Elon Musk communication system, which is basically an
[00:15:45] extension the US empire, so once again they will be
[00:15:49] scoring the biggest own goal in history,
[00:15:52] because the Russian military is ground-based
[00:15:56] with missile capacities, and the US
[00:15:59] military is satellite face, and with the destruction
[00:16:03] their satellites, they will go down first,
[00:16:07] before Russia and of course before Russia's ally
[00:16:11] China who will outpuce the Americans five to
[00:16:15] one in terms of satellite destroying rockets, so
[00:16:19] once again you can either ride this, you can either
[00:16:23] read this as suicidal or as a plan
[00:16:26] by Trump to destroy his own empire and return
[00:16:30] America to its homeland, which is what he promised when he
[00:16:34] said he wanted to leave NATO and leave the...
[00:16:37] behind, so one can never understand what's going on there, but
[00:16:41] either option is bad for
[00:16:44] the current American empire, and Harley, we have
[00:16:48] a little bit of time less, so ultimately are US weapons in space going
[00:16:52] to make the world safer place, or are they even going to
[00:16:55] make us safer country? not
[00:16:59] at all, because any kind of escalation, as
[00:17:02] your other guest said, means that the other
[00:17:05] countries that are involved a... called space race who are
[00:17:09] already ahead the United States will just ramp it up
[00:17:13] and the problem is that you have you can't
[00:17:16] resolve the problems facing the US empire by
[00:17:20] weaponization of space or wars, there has
[00:17:24] to be reorganization politically in the United States
[00:17:28] based the that
[00:17:28] on reality we're a multipolar world and
[00:17:31] that the old 500 year European colonial system is
[00:17:35] dead and until the United states recognizes that, whether it's trump
[00:17:39] or the democrats or anyone, until they recognize that, they're going to be
[00:17:43] engaged in increasingly suicidal policies
[00:17:46] and john, you want to win to,
[00:17:50] because the same deterrant and not offensive posturing was used
[00:17:54] behind the nuclear bomb, and you try to explain that to the people of Hiroshima
[00:17:58] and Nagasaki, at least their descendants, the United
[00:18:02] States has no regret for having used the nuclear bomb,
[00:18:05] they said they needed to use. their bomb to stop Japan because the Japanese would
[00:18:09] not surrender, but after the first bomb, the Japanese were
[00:18:13] trying to surrender. United States then dropped the second bomb
[00:18:17] intentionally to scare the Soviet Union into thinking that they had
[00:18:21] a big supply of weapons. These people killed
[00:18:25] a quarter of million people to send
[00:18:29] message to scare someone. That's the kind of
[00:18:33] regime that runs the world empire today, and if God is
[00:18:36] looking down. us and is helping us, he will bring them down, that's
[00:18:40] a wrap for another segment to your news review program, thanks for tuning in and bye-bye
[00:18:44] for
[00:18:44] now.
[00:19:20] and welcome back everyone, you're watching Press TV, world news, the Russian foreign minister says
[00:19:24] Moscow will continue military operations in Ukraine even if potential
[00:19:28] peace talks get
[00:19:29] underway.
[00:19:33] We have stated repeatedly that following the collapse the Istanbul.
[00:19:37] ments due to western interference, we will not halt the special military
[00:19:41] operation for the duration of negotiations. if the US had not
[00:19:45] backed away from the agreements reached in anchorage in August
[00:19:48] 2025, and if Europe had not pulled them away from those
[00:19:51] agreements, we would have been living without war in Ukraine for year
[00:19:55] now, that is an obvious
[00:19:57] fact.
[00:20:00] says that Russia is ready to resume bilateral or trilateral negotiations
[00:20:04] with the Kiev, if the Ukrain. are prepared to
[00:20:08] engage, meanwile russian drones targeted petrol stations in Kief for
[00:20:12] second straight day, latest strikes killed one person and left
[00:20:15] several injured, according to the kiev mayor
[00:20:18] vitalitsko. Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelinski says the Ukrainian
[00:20:22] forces truck an oil refinery a seisron, a drone
[00:20:26] production facility a Tagenrog and a drone launch site
[00:20:30] in Orio region. Russia Ukraine war began back in
[00:20:33] February, okay, that's wrong, 20.
[00:20:38] 21, I believe or 2022, despite numerous
[00:20:42] international mediation efforts of fighting has yet
[00:20:44] to be brought to an
[00:20:45] end and
[00:20:49] the
[00:20:49] US inc. opposition to ruling a Republican Party is likely to translate
[00:20:53] into mid-term election win for Democrats in the House of Representatives. This means
[00:20:57] likely a third impeachment for President Donald Trump, also it's likely that he'll
[00:21:01] ultimately be acquited by the Senate, as Rami Mazahari
[00:21:04] reports.
[00:21:08] On the first Tuesday in November, the United States will hold their midterm
[00:21:12] elections and by Wednesday President Donald Trump could be
[00:21:15] facing his third impeachment. If the democrats win
[00:21:19] control the... house of representatives, their leader has said they would not
[00:21:23] rule out pursuing impeachment on day one, which is
[00:21:27] what many anti-trump americans are hoping for, because it's necessary
[00:21:31] for everybody, uh, we're all affected by it, not just
[00:21:34] Americans, all over the world, we're being affected by his
[00:21:38] insane policies, his
[00:21:41] horrible actions, his lack of caring, his
[00:21:45] lies, he should have been out the oval office years ago, he's
[00:21:49] only there. because he wants to avoid to jail,
[00:21:53] he's there for himself, and uh, we need to
[00:21:57] have uh, a person who thinks of the greater good,
[00:22:00] not themselves. United States Representative, Al Green
[00:22:04] has already formally filed impeachment charges in the house
[00:22:08] over Trump's violation the War Powers Act of
[00:22:11] 1970. is not predicated upon having a certain number
[00:22:15] of people in Congress or a certain number of people to vote for. The
[00:22:19] rules... allow any member of congress to bring articles before the
[00:22:23] house, and what is interesting, the democrats who may
[00:22:26] criticize me are not going to say or they're not going to
[00:22:30] deny that the president has committed impeachable offenses, so if you won't
[00:22:34] deny that he's committing impeachable offenses, then you should honor your
[00:22:38] oath of office and vote to impeach. others have called for
[00:22:42] Trump's impeachment over his genocidal threat to wipe out the
[00:22:45] whole Iranian civilization for ordering many war
[00:22:49] crimes, such as the Minab Girls school massacre, for
[00:22:53] attacking protected civilian infrastructure, for indiscriminate
[00:22:56] attacks on civilian neighborhoods and
[00:22:59] more. The Democrats are expected to retake the
[00:23:03] house where only majority is needed to impeach,
[00:23:07] but even if they also flip the Senate, they are not going to be
[00:23:10] close to gaining the 67 vote super majority,
[00:23:14] which is required to actually convict a president. That means
[00:23:18] any impeachment of. Trump will likely remain only
[00:23:21] symbolic once again. Other top law makers have demanded Trump's
[00:23:25] impeachment over his daily fascistic persecution of Latino
[00:23:29] Americans and other immigrants, his economic support for tariffs
[00:23:33] and his remodeling the East Wing the White
[00:23:36] House. Ramin Mahari, Press TV, Washington
[00:23:39] DC. And now we're going to swing over to Vienna,
[00:23:43] Austria. We're joining us is our correspondent out
[00:23:47] there rinish at the atomic energy agency. the international
[00:23:51] atomic energy organizations annual summit, good
[00:23:55] to check in with you pal, tell us everyth everything you can about what transpired today
[00:23:58] there, yeah hello, as you can see i'm standing
[00:24:02] here in the conference hall, currently the afternoon session is
[00:24:06] ongoing, there is a speech by the delegate from
[00:24:08] Turkmenistan and a couple of minutes the speech
[00:24:12] by the representative of Iran i will start
[00:24:16] everything has been pushed back because
[00:24:19] there was a secret vote uh proceedings have be
[00:24:22] suspended around four o'clock so about an
[00:24:25] hour ago local time because there was a
[00:24:29] vote for members on the conference
[00:24:33] committee, the conference committee is one of two committees the general
[00:24:37] conference that are overseeing the workings the general
[00:24:41] conference and Iran was uh
[00:24:44] contesting as one of uh five candidates and the
[00:24:48] United States aims to prohibit
[00:24:52] uh Iran from contesting uh to the general
[00:24:56] committee, they they tried to table resolution
[00:25:00] and uh following the Iranian request
[00:25:03] secret ballot had been held, so proceedings
[00:25:07] were were suspended,
[00:25:11] secret ballot was held and Iran
[00:25:14] was eventually elected to the committee
[00:25:18] by the 100% 81 member states the
[00:25:22] IAA, this is really uh important uh
[00:25:26] news because uh we clearly see uh it
[00:25:30] it it was basically vote between those who support United States
[00:25:33] and those who oppose uh the western
[00:25:37] dominance the IEA and the majority voted
[00:25:41] in favor of Iran that clearly shows also the
[00:25:44] shifting power dynamics here in the general
[00:25:48] conference uh which are not reflected in the quarterly board of
[00:25:51] governors where the west still has
[00:25:55] majority and where the united states and
[00:25:59] the European troika are constantly pushing for. get another
[00:26:03] antiran resolution because they know they have
[00:26:06] majority in this forard which has 35
[00:26:10] members, but when we look at the the highest body
[00:26:14] here the IEA where every single member state can vote and as I
[00:26:17] said they are 100 81 member states so
[00:26:21] far
[00:26:22] there was a majority in favor of including
[00:26:25] Iran in this committee so as
[00:26:29] in
[00:26:30] the organization as as almost all international organization
[00:26:34] nowadays is deeply split between the US and their allies
[00:26:37] and Iran, China, Russia and their allies,
[00:26:40] but we clearly see with this vote today that the power
[00:26:44] denix here at the IAA in the general conference are
[00:26:48] shifting because the electoral victory, we can clearly
[00:26:52] say, it is, it is electoral
[00:26:55] victory at the secret pelot by Iran over the
[00:26:59] United States. All right, great deers, stay safe. Thank you for that
[00:27:03] breakdown, I'm sure we'll contact you shortly to get another round up, stay safe,
[00:27:07] we'll talk to you soon, deta r joining us from Vienna, this brings your Press TV news bulton
[00:27:11] to its conclusion, everyone, thank you for tuning in and goodbye for
[00:27:13] now,
[00:27:35] War takes lives, but sometimes it takes something even
[00:27:39] more cruel, the chance to say goodbye. This is story
[00:27:43] of a boy who never came home following a bloody, unprovoked
[00:27:47] war waged by the US in Israel against
[00:27:50] Iran. On the morning of February 28th,
[00:27:53] 2026, seven-year-old Makan Nasiri left home for school just
[00:27:57] as he always did. It was his birthday, his mother helped him put on his blue
[00:28:01] jacket. to keep him warm in the cool morning air. She was preparing
[00:28:05] Makan's favorite food for lunch. With the
[00:28:09] quiet excitement of a first grade boy, he walked into Shajar
[00:28:13] Taybah elementary school, never knowing it would be the last time anyone
[00:28:17] would see him. At 11:15 a.m. Tomahawk Cruise's missiles
[00:28:21] struck the school, within seconds, classrooms collapsed, walls
[00:28:24] crumbled, the sound of children, reading and laughing were replaced
[00:28:28] by dust, fire and silence rescue workers for days.
[00:28:32] parents searched with their own hands, one by one the victims were
[00:28:36] found. families were finally able to bury their
[00:28:39] children. but one child never came home,
[00:28:42] mokon nasiri. his father searched through the rubble from the very first
[00:28:46] afternoon. his uncle together with relatives spent 46
[00:28:50] days searching every corner the destroyed school and the
[00:28:53] surrounding fields. more than 100 DNA tests were carried
[00:28:57] out. investigators searched for anything, a strand of hair, the
[00:29:01] smallest trace. that could bring certainty to a grieving
[00:29:04] family, nothing. The only things ever found were crumpled blue
[00:29:08] jacket and a single small trainer discovered far from the
[00:29:12] school after the blast had thrown it into a nearby
[00:29:15] orchard. Experts later concluded that the American
[00:29:18] missile had struck directly where Macon had been standing.
[00:29:22] The explosion was so devastating that no identifiable
[00:29:25] remains were left behind. For most parents,
[00:29:29] grief begins when they lay their child to rest.
[00:29:33] Macon's family was denied even that final act of love. They were forced to
[00:29:37] bury empty grave, a grave with nobody beneath it, only a
[00:29:41] name carved into stone. Even today, Malkan's mother returns to the ruins
[00:29:45] the school. She sits quietly a piece of broken
[00:29:48] concrete, waiting in the same place where she last knew her
[00:29:52] son existed. Malcon's body was never recovered.
[00:29:56] His story reminds us that the deepest wound of.
