[00:00:02] that what the Israelis are doing is a
[00:00:25] or anything could reach us in
[00:00:42] that the north was open from
[00:00:49] days. Then we returned, of course, to
[00:01:19] Welcome to Women of Resistance. Halima
[00:01:22] Gaban's story reveals to us quite clearly
[00:01:26] the incredible pain that both men and women in Gaza
[00:01:30] have been facing since the occupation, but how
[00:01:35] F-35 entered the picture, one of much more compounded that has become since October 7th. We are
[00:01:38] witnessing the men's struggle and resilience to provide
[00:01:41] even at the cost of life, and the resistance of the
[00:01:45] Palestinian women to do everything to keep the next
[00:01:48] generation going. These struggles will be large chapters
[00:01:52] in history books, so will stories like
[00:01:54] Halima's.
[00:01:59] network, a much clearer picture of
[00:02:01] The place that was once home now holds incredibly different memories
[00:02:05] for Halima. Like most Palestinians, this new genocide
[00:02:09] is redefining what it means to be home and what home
[00:02:15] perhaps that is the most important part of represents.
[00:02:21] I was born in 1995, in February.
[00:02:24] My house was just before the yellow line, not far.
[00:02:27] I couldn't go back to it, of course, because it's
[00:02:31] all on completely destroyed. Nothing can be salvaged from it, because it's dangerous
[00:02:34] there. The Jews, of course, shell
[00:02:37] and snipe. The militias, they don't leave anyone alone. They come down
[00:02:41] on us in the field. When I used to go to my house there,
[00:02:44] they would come down on us in the field. Anyone in front of them
[00:02:47] they would take and hand over to the Jews. My house
[00:02:50] is not fit for habitation, completely destroyed. Also, I don't want to go back there because
[00:02:54] my husband's memories are also linked to the house itself. I don't want to go back
[00:02:58] there.
[00:03:24] my children to school. Then rockets started falling, and everyone started saying there were no
[00:03:27] schools, the war had started. So the children were scared.
[00:03:41] to feed them. We started living on
[00:03:50] in the tents. The food is not healthy My daughter, of course, my eldest daughter, due to the fear and terror she experienced,
[00:03:53] developed rheumatism and was hospitalized. She stayed there for almost three
[00:03:57] weeks. Her blood count dropped to five. The fear
[00:04:00] and terror made her lose her appetite. The doctors told me her condition was
[00:04:04] bad, and she might not survive. I kept running,
[00:04:07] during the war, at the beginning of the war, I spent
[00:04:09] south. I urged my husband to go it in the hospital, of course. So I had
[00:04:13] to buy for my mother. Back then, goods were very
[00:04:16] expensive. I would save
[00:04:19] to earn a living in a little from whatever I could get. I used to tell my husband,
[00:04:22] may he rest in peace, I used to tell him, "This daughter of yours will be taken
[00:04:26] from us." And he would say, "No, God willing, it will be fine. God willing, the war will stop." We were hopeful
[00:04:31] there was no transport to go it would stop, but we didn't think it would last
[00:04:34] this long.
[00:04:39] It was already an unbearable situation when these really
[00:04:42] onslaughts started, but then came the
[00:04:45] displacement. It was almost sport for the Zionists at this
[00:04:48] point, seeing how much chaos and confusion they could
[00:04:52] inflict on the
[00:04:54] all the time we have for this edition of population.
[00:04:57] We left. The Jews, of course, threatened us and dropped leaflets on us. We left
[00:05:01] our homes and went to the camp schools. We stayed in
[00:05:04] the camp, of course, and then the shelling started, scaring
[00:05:07] us. They terrified us a lot. They started dropping leaflets on us, telling us to leave,
[00:05:11] to go to safe places in western Gaza.
[00:05:14] We came to western Gaza, of course. We stayed here, we went through
[00:05:18] a period of unnatural fear, of course.
[00:05:22] The children were scared, and we kept running from place to place to find a safe
[00:05:25] place. At that time, it was a safe place for us.
[00:05:29] The Jews besieged us in the schools, and we remained in the schools under siege by
[00:05:33] the Jews. No food supplies
[00:05:37] the school. So the children were very disturbed, very
[00:05:41] much so. And... But I,
[00:05:44] you know, the games, we would put games on their phones
[00:05:48] and tell them stories that this is normal.
[00:05:51] We are, for life, with the Jews
[00:05:54] until the Day of Judgment, of course.
[00:05:57] So we left. This happened for three
[00:06:02] the north. I returned to my house. It was, you know,
[00:06:05] standing but half gone. I stayed
[00:06:09] there, of course, and my husband, may he rest in peace, insisted on staying in our house.
[00:06:12] We stayed for almost three
[00:06:14] months. The Jews started shelling us,
[00:06:18] telling us to leave. So we left
[00:06:21] for the camp schools again. They threatened us to leave, so we left through
[00:06:25] the checkpoint.
[00:06:31] Halima, like thousands of Palestinian women, found themselves
[00:06:34] even further isolated and vulnerable when IOF
[00:06:38] soldiers kidnapped her husband and dragged him off to an Israeli
[00:06:41] prison.
[00:06:51] They took my husband. He stayed for six months. I suffered during those six months,
[00:06:54] of course, an unnatural suffering.
[00:06:58] I didn't find anyone to give me a tent. I didn't find a place
[00:07:01] to sit. No one stood with me to support me.
[00:07:05] I stayed in Palestine Stadium. God sent me some initiators.
[00:07:08] I stayed in a tent, of course, with a few other families. The tent was
[00:07:12] shared by me and another family. Of course,
[00:07:15] aid started coming, but it was not much, just a little.
[00:07:19] Of course, benevolent initiators would come and provide us with aid. And
[00:07:22] aid kitchens would also come. I used to, for example, go to organizations, run
[00:07:26] to organizations to help me with income, with anything.
[00:07:30] There was no income. Then the truce happened. They said, "It's over."
[00:07:33] A truce between us and the Jews.
[00:07:36] So I had to go back with my children to my house. I went back to
[00:07:40] my house, but I didn't find a house. It was
[00:07:44] the ground. So I isolated
[00:07:48] myself. I set up my tent
[00:07:51] there. I managed to get some covers
[00:07:55] and wood, and I made a tent and stayed in it. They started giving us
[00:07:58] aid, and I would get aid, and we lived on charity
[00:08:01] kitchens. We continued living like that.
[00:08:05] Then my husband was released, thank God. He was released after six
[00:08:08] months.
[00:08:11] A Palestinian hunted by the Israeli soldiers
[00:08:14] and being released from an Israeli prison was no
[00:08:17] protection against their constant oppression. The
[00:08:21] beautiful reunion between Halima and her husband would be short
[00:08:25] lived in this realm at
[00:08:27] least.
[00:08:31] So I stayed for about two weeks.
[00:08:33] We rejoiced and said, "It's over." He's with me, and I was happy, and my
[00:08:37] children were happy. We said, "Goodness has returned." The war started again.
[00:08:41] So we had to flee. We fled and came here to
[00:08:44] Gaza. We stayed here. Famine
[00:08:47] struck. We couldn't provide a morsel for our children
[00:08:50] نوفر اللقمه لاولادنا انهم
[00:08:53] lentils and rice. One day lentils, one day rice, one day lentils.
[00:08:57] Every day was lentils and rice. It never changed. There was
[00:09:01] an unnatural famine. Then some
[00:09:04] zakat opened up, and my husband would go and bring us, for example,
[00:09:07] whatever he could. So, thank God, things opened up a bit
[00:09:11] for us. Then my husband got injured. He stayed injured
[00:09:14] for about a month and stopped bringing us anything. Of course, the Jews started
[00:09:18] hitting us and telling us to go
[00:09:22] south, but he refused. He said, "I don't want to go south." He stayed in Gaza. We stayed in Gaza.
[00:09:25] Of course, before I went south, three
[00:09:29] days before, he had gone
[00:09:31] the street. They hit him with a drone
[00:09:35] and he was martyred instantly. He was martyred
[00:09:38] instantly. So I suffered an unnatural suffering afterward, because
[00:09:43] south. I couldn't find a safe place
[00:09:46] to go with my children. I started saying, "Where do I go with my children?"
[00:09:50] I had thoughts like, "I don't want this life anymore. I just want to die
[00:09:54] here with my children." It was over. There was no safe place to
[00:09:57] go. No transport. No one to
[00:10:01] help me and my children. I had no support.
[00:10:05] So I didn't know how to manage myself, of course. Then God
[00:10:08] sent me people who told me, "You have to go." They would
[00:10:12] get us a car, and benevolent people came and gave me
[00:10:16] 200 shekels. They told me, "Go south and trust in God, for the sake of
[00:10:20] your children, for the sake of your husband. These are your responsibility."
[00:10:23] So I had to go.
[00:10:55] I would go wherever I could to get
[00:10:58] supplies for my home. I would return to my home and sell the rest to
[00:11:01] buy food other than onions and potatoes for my children. They announced
[00:11:07] the south. So I traveled from the south to the north.
[00:11:11] I went to see my home.
[00:11:14] I found my home completely destroyed. I couldn't return
[00:11:17] to it. They told me it was a yellow line,
[00:11:21] dangerous there. Indeed, they started shelling us, and there was smoke.
[00:11:26] So no one was allowed to go there. So I had to come and live here in
[00:11:29] Gaza in a tent, and I stayed there.
[00:11:32] I put myself in a camp. I started going to
[00:11:35] orphan organizations, to register my children, or I would go
[00:11:39] here and there hoping for aid, that they would help
[00:11:42] me with my family. Thank God, Abu
[00:11:45] Muhammad took me in at his camp. Thank God, whatever aid comes out,
[00:11:48] he asks about me, he asks about my children. Whatever
[00:11:51] comes out, he tells me, "You are more deserving because you are a mother of orphans."
[00:11:59] And my husband, of course, had left. He left. I
[00:12:02] and he were not getting along, of course. I had an intense argument with him. The most
[00:12:05] difficult moment I went through was that I was not sad, and my husband
[00:12:08] left. I was not sad with him, and I didn't see him, nor did he
[00:12:12] see me. I wanted to ask for his forgiveness, to forgive me,
[00:12:16] to tell him, "Please forgive me." There was an argument
[00:12:19] about what, about a tent. I argued with him about
[00:12:22] a tent.
[00:12:25] Because he couldn't provide me with a tent. Back then, it was very expensive. It cost
[00:12:28] 4000 shekels, 5000 shekels. He couldn't provide it for me so
[00:12:32] we could go south with it. So I was in an apartment,
[00:12:36] in a house that was a bit small. I was staying
[00:12:39] there. I managed there. So the most
[00:12:42] difficult moment was losing my husband and my children becoming orphans. This is
[00:12:46] the most
[00:12:46] difficult moment.
[00:12:54] a rocket
[00:13:25] falls on you and you don't know. I mean,
[00:13:27] some time ago I was going to Tel
[00:13:30] Al-Hawa. There was shelling not far,
[00:13:34] maybe 20 meters or so. We could have been hit
[00:13:38] by it. So there
[00:13:40] are no safe places here in Gaza because
[00:13:44] the war is not over, of course. The solutions are still
[00:13:47] pending. The Jews are still on the
[00:13:51] yellow line. There are yellow lines, there are red lines. The Jews are still, I mean,
[00:13:55] we want to live in safety and peace in Gaza.
[00:13:59] We want our children to live with dignity. We want our children
[00:14:02] to go back to school, to study in the best
[00:14:05] schools. We want their homes to be rebuilt, and their children to be in
[00:14:09] clean places, not in tents. We are all
[00:14:12] eaten by insects and rats
[00:14:15] either. We cook on fire. We don't have
[00:14:18] firewood. We use nylon
[00:14:21] and hoses, things like that. So
[00:14:25] our food is not safe either. They should provide us with safe food,
[00:14:28] and provide us with something other than tents. We won't be able to live in tents
[00:14:32] in the heat, of course. The temperatures will be high. The water
[00:14:36] is not very suitable for drinking. I mean, sometimes the water tastes good,
[00:14:40] sometimes it tastes normal. The water is salty.
[00:14:43] Our life should be much better than this. I also
[00:14:47] demand that I and my children live a better life, that
[00:14:50] their needs are met. Sometimes,
[00:15:04] joining me today to discuss Halima's story is Sarah
[00:15:07] Callaway of the Women of Color in the Global Women's
[00:15:11] Strike. Welcome Sarah, thank you so much for joining me. Thank you
[00:15:15] for having us. You know, Halima's story,
[00:15:18] Sarah, this is something we've been watching now for so long, the
[00:15:22] genocide happening and how
[00:15:26] are just targeted sport, they just kill for
[00:15:29] fun. Is this because this
[00:15:33] is part of a tactic to
[00:15:35] weaken, to exhaust Palestinians, or do you think
[00:15:39] sometimes it's just a bunch of these crazy Zionists? You think that they are
[00:15:43] playing computer games when they're shooting people
[00:15:45] around. It's it's hard to know what's in
[00:15:49] the minds of, you know, the Israeli government and the
[00:15:52] IDF, but we do know that it's
[00:15:56] horrifying. When we see our sisters like
[00:15:59] Halima, the suffering that they're going through
[00:16:03] is beyond anything. It's unimaginable.
[00:16:06] And are carrying a very heavy burden, not only giving
[00:16:10] birth to children, raising children, looking
[00:16:14] after a disabled child, trying to
[00:16:17] put food on the table, all in the midst of a genocide and
[00:16:21] famine. And you know, it's
[00:16:23] reproductive genocide, and we have to stand with the
[00:16:26] women and make, we have to end this. And
[00:16:30] it's it's really horrifying. Why do you
[00:16:33] think has it not ended? I mean, of course we
[00:16:36] know that the global powers, the US, the West, is supporting these
[00:16:40] Zionists, but on the women front, because we you
[00:16:44] work for the women's organization, and this
[00:16:47] show promotes Palestinian women. We speak about them
[00:16:50] because they don't have a voice themselves. But then, you know,
[00:16:54] globally, we should have seen more women really coming out and
[00:16:57] speaking out for them. Why hasn't this
[00:16:59] happened? I think two things are happening.
[00:17:03] Overwhelmingly, women have been at the forefront of
[00:17:06] supporting Palestine. We know that from the UK and the
[00:17:10] US, you know, every day there are women doing
[00:17:13] protests. On the other hand, as you pointed out, women's
[00:17:17] organizations generally have not done enough, and we've
[00:17:20] been working with women against rape, and they've put out
[00:17:23] calls specifically to women's groups, but also to
[00:17:26] governments to end the detention
[00:17:30] and the torture and the imprisonment. We know there
[00:17:33] are thousands of Palestinians imprisoned, many women and
[00:17:36] children. So they have put out calls and to try to put
[00:17:40] fire under women's organizations because they need to
[00:17:43] speak up more and do more along with governments, because we know
[00:17:47] most governments have been complicit with Israel in this
[00:17:50] genocide. So that's what we do as women. We attend pickets,
[00:17:54] we speak out, we support boycott, divestment and
[00:17:58] sanctions wherever we can at a grassroots level. And
[00:18:01] yeah, absolutely. I think there is a lot of if, even if sometimes it's not in the
[00:18:05] forefront, I know that, you know, the majority of the globe by now
[00:18:09] supports the Palestinians. And, you know, when we talk about,
[00:18:12] of course, we are talking about the women of resistance,
[00:18:16] Palestinians. And there's a lot of voices because these women
[00:18:20] didn't have a voice. But the reality is, it's not only women. I
[00:18:23] mean, you know, the story of Halima really touched me because you can see
[00:18:27] that she is living with this pain that she had an argument with her
[00:18:31] husband, his inability to be able to provide
[00:18:34] a tent for her. And then he was martyred. Um, a
[00:18:37] society where men are expected to provide, how
[00:18:41] difficult it is for Palestinian men who can't even put basic
[00:18:44] food on the table? I
[00:18:47] mean, we know that the men suffer, but
[00:18:51] sometimes from my experience, men don't
[00:18:54] appreciate how much harder it is for women, because
[00:18:58] women carry the heaviest burdens, um,
[00:19:01] because we are the carers for children, and
[00:19:05] also older people, people who are sick. And so we
[00:19:08] need men to appreciate, on one hand, there's their
[00:19:12] honor, but on the other hand, there's all the
[00:19:15] invisible, unwaged work that women do. And women are really the
[00:19:18] pillar. You know, if the woman is doing well, the men will do
[00:19:22] well, and sometimes men don't appreciate that
[00:19:26] enough. But we certainly know that everybody is suffering,
[00:19:29] but the particular work that women do for survival and for
[00:19:33] justice, and the Palestinian movement, we know that women
[00:19:37] have always been central to it, as well as all the, alongside all the
[00:19:40] caring work. Yeah. And so that's what we try to put at the
[00:19:44] forefront, because that's what women are doing everywhere in the world. Totally. And
[00:19:47] even Palestinians, when we speak to them, men and women, will
[00:19:51] accept that it is the women of Palestine who have kept the
[00:19:54] whole resistance going and ensuring that, you know, there
[00:19:58] is still a Palestinian population to
[00:20:01] live. Exactly. Let's just remind our viewers that you are watching Women
[00:20:04] of Resistance, where we highlight the plight of women who have been
[00:20:08] subjected to the Zionist state's brutal oppression in
[00:20:11] Gaza, in Lebanon, and further
[00:20:13] afield. Sir, you're now talking about the same women.
[00:20:17] Every other Palestinian woman is now a widow. They are
[00:20:21] caring for multiple orphaned
[00:20:23] children. They seem to be very strong. They are
[00:20:27] resilient. They have the resistance in them, but
[00:20:30] it's not easy. I mean, they are suffering. How long do you think they'll be
[00:20:34] able to go on like that? I
[00:20:37] don't know how they do
[00:20:40] it, but all we know is that so
[00:20:43] far the Palestinians have not given
[00:20:46] up. We know that women have been central to
[00:20:49] that. We know
[00:20:52] reproductive genocide, to attack women
[00:20:56] and children, and try to destroy the next generation, not
[00:21:00] only by bombing, but by starvation, by manufactured
[00:21:04] famine, by imprisonment, by
[00:21:06] torture. And yet the Palestinians have not given
[00:21:10] up. So we don't know how long. But we do
[00:21:13] know that the apartheid system in South Africa
[00:21:17] was abolished. Yeah, the the
[00:21:20] slavery was ended. I mean, I'm a descendant of enslaved
[00:21:24] people. We know that was ended. It took 500 years,
[00:21:27] and we're still fighting the effects. So we know that these
[00:21:31] things can be overcome, but we
[00:21:33] have to do it soon. We have to stand with the Palestinian people
[00:21:37] and call out everyone in the world to hold our governments to
[00:21:40] account. And that's what's happened in the UK. Just
[00:21:43] recently Ed Miliband has come out with sanctions against West
[00:21:47] Bank. It's too little and too late. And it was the
[00:21:51] movement here that forced the Labor government to take that
[00:21:54] position. And we intend to keep fire under all the
[00:21:58] politicians. Right now, the only party that's been
[00:22:02] speaking for Palestine is the Green Party, and we hope that
[00:22:05] they'll stick to their pledges. But that's where we
[00:22:09] are at this moment in the UK that we've been
[00:22:11] trying to help the Green Party to speak out.
[00:22:15] Their leader, Natalie Bennett, has been the only political leader to
[00:22:19] stand firm, and he stood with Palestine. Do you think
[00:22:23] the movement that we have here, with the work that you do, do you think this
[00:22:26] is really having that political effect?
[00:22:29] We are very sure that what
[00:22:33] Ed Miliband and the Labour Party coming out for
[00:22:37] sanctions in the West Bank, which is little, because we
[00:22:40] need them to stop selling the arms, that's the bottom line. But we know
[00:22:44] it's the pressure from the movement that got rid of Keir
[00:22:47] Starmer, and he's been replaced with a man named
[00:22:50] Burnham. And so this government is much more
[00:22:53] sympathetic to Palestine. But
[00:22:56] how far they go depends on how much pressure we can put on
[00:23:00] them. But definitely the Labour Party was
[00:23:04] fearful for their vote, because so many people are with
[00:23:07] Palestine. They had to change their position. Absolutely.
[00:23:11] Tell me a little bit, Sarah, about the work you do. I know you've just come from
[00:23:14] a court, you know, case whereby you are supporting
[00:23:18] some of these women who
[00:23:21] are facing really crazy court cases. I mean, they don't have any meaning, but it's
[00:23:24] harassment. Tell me what it was about and what do you do generally as
[00:23:28] as an organization? Well, first of all, we
[00:23:32] focus on anti-ending racism,
[00:23:34] sexism, poverty, and genocide.
[00:23:38] Um, we stand with Palestine, and our main
[00:23:41] demand is to invest in caring and not
[00:23:44] killing. And we've been demanding care
[00:23:47] income, and we see the care income as a kind of
[00:23:50] reparations. Our sisters have just been working with the
[00:23:54] UN in Geneva, the road
[00:23:57] map against poverty and environmental
[00:23:59] destruction. In that, they've included a
[00:24:03] guaranteed care income for all women, for all carers,
[00:24:06] all generations, everybody who does caring work. So that is the
[00:24:10] main thrust of our work. But alongside that, we attend
[00:24:14] a weekly picket for Palestine.
[00:24:17] It's organized by the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network,
[00:24:21] which are Jewish anti-Zionists who are calling for Israel to
[00:24:25] stop the bombing and end the genocide and the
[00:24:28] apartheid system that they operate. And that's been
[00:24:31] a big strength in the movement that Jewish
[00:24:35] people are speaking out against Israel. We attend that picket
[00:24:38] every week, and it's a point where people can speak out. So we get
[00:24:42] reports from Italy, from Japan,
[00:24:46] from Spain,
[00:24:48] other parts of the global south. People come and speak about how they're supporting
[00:24:52] Palestine and what's happening in their country. Absolutely, that is, that
[00:24:56] is amazing work you're doing, Sarah. And we have this
[00:25:00] major strike coming up on October 9th,
[00:25:03] where we are supposed to all strike for Palestinian
[00:25:07] women. Yes. And whatever the color of our skin, whatever faith
[00:25:10] we, you know, practice, whichever
[00:25:14] side of political mindset we have, the
[00:25:17] reality is that we have to come together, especially women,
[00:25:21] we have to come together to liberate our sisters, because these are, you
[00:25:24] know, just like me and you, they deserve to
[00:25:27] have basic facilities, you know, basic freedom.
[00:25:31] So if our Palestinian sisters are listening to us, you know, we are fighting
[00:25:35] for you, and we will continue to do that forever. Thank you so much, Sarah, for
[00:25:38] being with me, really appreciate your input. And that's
[00:25:44] the program. Sarah was our special guest. And thank you all
[00:25:47] for watching. We will be back next time with more stories of
[00:25:51] resilience and hope. Now we leave you with the sounds of
[00:25:54] Palestine by the artist Saif.
[00:25:57] Goodbye.
[00:26:35] July 31st, 2026. Nighttime
[00:26:38] Strait of Hormuz, southern Iran. The United
[00:26:41] States launched a heavy wave of strikes against command centers,
[00:26:45] radars, surveillance systems, and air defense
[00:26:49] positions across southern Iran, intended to make the skies over
[00:26:52] southern Iran safer for American aircraft. But just hours
[00:26:56] later, something unexpected
[00:26:58] happened.
[00:27:00] An American MQ-9 Reaper was shot down over the Strait of
[00:27:04] Hormuz. The MQ-9 is no ordinary
[00:27:07] drone. It is one of America's primary platforms for
[00:27:11] intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and precision
[00:27:13] strikes, capable of remaining airborne for more than a full day
[00:27:17] while carrying an advanced suite of sensors and weapons. And this was
[00:27:21] not the first Reaper lost. Since the beginning of the war, Iran
[00:27:25] has taken around 50 MQ-9 Reapers out of operation,
[00:27:28] roughly one quarter of the entire U.S. Reaper fleet. But the real
[00:27:32] story was only beginning. Shortly afterward, an
[00:27:37] the world's most advanced combat aircraft, designed specifically
[00:27:41] to penetrate sophisticated air defense networks. But
[00:27:44] stealth does not mean invisible. One
[00:27:47] radar may detect only a faint signature. An infrared sensor
[00:27:51] may pick up the heat from its engines. Another system may detect
[00:27:54] its electronic emissions. And when the information from all of these
[00:27:58] systems is connected through a single
[00:28:01] the target begins to emerge. That same night, the
[00:28:04] tracking of the F-35 reached the level of a weapons-quality
[00:28:08] lock, a warning the pilot could not ignore. The F-35 did
[00:28:11] not continue its mission and quickly left the area. And
[00:28:17] the story: air defense success does not always mean shooting
[00:28:21] an aircraft down. Sometimes it is enough to stop an aircraft
[00:28:24] designed to penetrate hostile airspace from completing its
[00:28:28] mission. And now for the United States, the issue is no
[00:28:31] longer simply the loss of an MQ-9 or the
[00:28:35] retreat of an F-35. The bigger question is, how could a
[00:28:38] network whose radars and key components had been attacked only hours earlier
[00:28:42] remain operational and still force one of America's most
[00:28:46] advanced aircraft to abandon its mission, an incident that
[00:28:50] now forces the United States to rethink not just a flight
[00:28:53] path, but its entire calculation over Iran's
[00:28:57] skies.
[00:29:00] The equation in Iran's sky. This is no longer the same.
[00:30:01] Well, good stories on Press TV: Iran's president criticized the US for failing to
[00:30:05] abide by the terms of the agreement, saying agreement can be the basis for
[00:30:09] the reopening of the Strait of
[00:30:10] Hormuz.
[00:30:14] Rocky Premier calls for exemptions for US sanctions targeting global companies that
[00:30:18] work with Iranian airlines
