[00:00:01] Press TV headlines, Iran's security chief tells Press
[00:00:04] TV that the US response to Terron's
[00:00:07] conditions, freeopening the hormostrate is inadequate and
[00:00:11] contains ambiguities, it must be cleared.
[00:00:14] of The IRGC Navy warns all vessels not to turn off their
[00:00:18] navigation systems during hormo's transit, saying all ships doing this will be
[00:00:21] considered hostile and targeted. Hamas strongly condemns Israel's
[00:00:25] threat to assassinate the head of its political bureau stressing that the regime's
[00:00:29] threat. amounts to organized state
[00:00:32] terrorism,
[00:00:37] of
[00:00:52] hello and welcome everybody, it's 8:30 am, press tv's world news, our
[00:00:55] top story for this half hour an exclusive interview with press tv,
[00:01:00] Iran's top security official says Washington's response
[00:01:04] to Tehran's seven conditions
[00:01:06] in a proposal to reopen the strategic straight of hormos is
[00:01:09] inadequate.
[00:01:11] of Major General Mon said the United States must first
[00:01:14] clarify those issues that remain ambiguous for
[00:01:18] Iran.
[00:01:23] Over the past two months the Americans made proposals to us through three
[00:01:26] channels:
[00:01:28] of Pakistan, Qatar, and even Iraq. and asked us to give them our
[00:01:32] of of own proposals. We announced seven conditions to the Americans. If you do not act
[00:01:35] on these conditions, neither will the straight of Hormus be opened
[00:01:39] of to you, nor will there be any negotiations. The Americans have now
[00:01:43] of given
[00:01:43] a response. In their response, they have accepted some of our
[00:01:46] conditions, and there are some
[00:01:48] of ambiguities. Therefore, the Americans have responded to us. We are not in the
[00:01:52] process of responding
[00:01:53] of to the Americans. The Americans have responded to us
[00:01:57] of and we consider their response insufficient.
[00:02:03] He added that the Americans must remove those parts that
[00:02:07] are considered ambiguous by Iran and Tehran is waiting to see
[00:02:11] whether they can remove those ambiguities before heading to the next
[00:02:15] stages elsewhere in his interview as I said the US has suffered defeat after
[00:02:19] defeat against Iran and that's why Washington has turned to
[00:02:22] economic war against the
[00:02:24] country
[00:02:29] دشمن همون. The enemy suffered major defeat in
[00:02:33] the 12-day war and then again in the 40-day war. They resorted to
[00:02:37] naval blockade, but that led them nowhere. And recently, they launched
[00:02:40] economic isolation plan. They faced defeat in almost every single
[00:02:44] campaign they launched, but we stayed put, pursuing our plans and
[00:02:48] neutralized all those campaigns with accurate planning and
[00:02:54] of calculations. The general said the US has failed even to end
[00:02:57] its war of aggression. He stressed. that the option to end the
[00:03:01] aggression is in the hands of Iran and
[00:03:04] of Iranians
[00:03:05] of will not stop their resistance until they get what is rightfully
[00:03:09] theirs. Rezy added that the US is the root cause
[00:03:12] of the problem concerning the straight of hormos. The general said, Iran
[00:03:16] seeks management
[00:03:17] of the street to ensure
[00:03:18] of regional in security, especially in the Persian Gulf. He
[00:03:22] rejected Washington's
[00:03:23] in claim that it's transporting major amounts of oil through the key
[00:03:27] waterway. Raz I said the US is only using smugglers to
[00:03:31] transport
[00:03:32] of negligible
[00:03:32] in amounts of oil while the straight remains
[00:03:35] closed.
[00:03:41] political commentator sayid says Iran has every right to close the
[00:03:45] straight of hormos in response to the anglo-zionist war
[00:03:49] a of aggression as international law does not operate in the same
[00:03:53] way during
[00:03:54] wartime.
[00:03:59] It's... "who started the war? again, it's the
[00:04:03] anglo-ziist
[00:04:04] of empire that started the war, and in wartime, these kind of
[00:04:07] maritime rules and regulations, they don't operate, I
[00:04:11] mean, how is it on earth is it a reality that Iran has to
[00:04:15] abide by first
[00:04:16] of all maritime rules that it's never signed up to, and then top of that, it
[00:04:20] it has aggressive forces which are trying to use that oil
[00:04:24] in a war against it, why, why
[00:04:26] of should it, why should they be obligated to allow any shipping to?"
[00:04:30] now the shipping that is going of
[00:04:36] in course,
[00:04:39] issues on there,
[00:04:43] so the ships which Iran is getting out, which the American
[00:04:46] Navy can't stop, are definitely going to
[00:04:50] be shipping is going to the to South Asia and
[00:04:54] Europe, but mainly it South Asia, and that that's something Iran
[00:04:58] of in of terms of it's trading oil. will do and anybody else that wants to
[00:05:02] take oil out
[00:05:03] of there
[00:05:03] uh that weekend or LNG or
[00:05:06] of fertilizers they if they go through the procedures that
[00:05:08] in Iran is set then they will be allowed uh to to take
[00:05:11] of that to.
[00:05:16] Author and west Asia expert Saib Shath says Iran has not
[00:05:20] only won us israly imposed war but also gained dominance
[00:05:24] prompting the Trump administration to turn to economic
[00:05:28] warfare.
[00:05:33] Iran won the war and Iran is the one who has
[00:05:36] escalation dominance in here, not just ability to
[00:05:40] respond
[00:05:41] Ted for that on this. and that so a Trump
[00:05:44] administration they targets today
[00:05:48] the economical ability of survivor in
[00:05:52] Iran and they in that way as
[00:05:56] I mentioned many times they trying to create
[00:06:00] what they call the hyper inflation in Iran
[00:06:04] they they failed in in doing so since
[00:06:08] Iran since 1979 is used to
[00:06:12] the american and campaigns of trying
[00:06:15] to start to suffocate the economy in Iran
[00:06:19] and Iran response to any attempts
[00:06:23] by the Americans will be devastating and the
[00:06:26] Americans put lots of scenarios
[00:06:30] on
[00:06:30] the on the table, that's before even they today what you
[00:06:34] hear Trump is saying is like
[00:06:37] something nothing to do with the war, always he repeat
[00:06:41] the statement. that he Iran were not gonna have nuclear a
[00:06:45] nuclear arm program or nuclear
[00:06:48] bomb since day one iran said that to the
[00:06:52] Americans and on that the GCPA were
[00:06:56] signed and he come himself negate that
[00:07:00] signature.
[00:07:05] The commander the Islamic Revolution Guards Core navy has warned all
[00:07:09] vessels transiting through the straight of hormos not to shut down. their
[00:07:12] navigation and automatic identification
[00:07:15] systems. rear admiral aliasmai said in his
[00:07:19] message that all ships to turn off their navigation and identification
[00:07:23] systems in the straight of hormoles will be identified as hostile and will be
[00:07:27] dealt with severely and decisively. his warning came
[00:07:31] after the IRGC announced that violating oil super
[00:07:35] tanker has caught fire after striking naval mine in the
[00:07:38] straight of hormos while trying to cross the straight through an unauthorized
[00:07:42] route, the IRGC Navy said the violating vessels had
[00:07:46] turned off all identification and navigation systems before
[00:07:50] attempting to pass through unauthorized waters. it
[00:07:53] added that this was the third violating tanker in two
[00:07:57] days to strike naval mines and catch fire while attempting
[00:08:01] illegal hormos transit. the IRGC Navy reiterated that any
[00:08:05] vessel trying to cross the strategic waterway, after
[00:08:08] disabling its navigation systems will be considered hostile.
[00:08:13] targets and dealt with
[00:08:14] accordingly.
[00:08:19] journalist author and producer sakinaad joined us earlier, she said the
[00:08:23] international community must hold the US is ravy aggression against Iran
[00:08:26] responsible for rising fuel and energy prices, noting that
[00:08:30] the straight of hormos was open before the aggression
[00:08:33] began.
[00:08:37] Iran has every right to control the waters around its own
[00:08:41] area and these are you know he they have control and they also
[00:08:45] have not completely stopped ships from passing
[00:08:48] you know there are conditions however because for far too long the
[00:08:52] straight of hormos used to be open to everybody and it was a
[00:08:56] war on Iran that has brought this upon the world itself and
[00:09:00] upon the global economy because Iran was attacked and
[00:09:04] therefore you know closing state of allm or managing it
[00:09:08] is in the interest is it's vital
[00:09:11] security. issue for Iran in this states, so absolutely who
[00:09:15] can blame Iran for wanting to make sure that they have the
[00:09:19] control over the street, and also these ships,
[00:09:22] you know, the very fact that they turn off all navigation is in
[00:09:26] itself indication that they are aware that they are doing something illegal,
[00:09:30] otherwise
[00:09:30] you know if they really had that kind of a courage to defy then why do they
[00:09:34] have to turn you know the navigations of
[00:09:38] and so I think you know the the reality is that things are getting very very...
[00:09:42] tough for the US, we have seen them now coming to this
[00:09:46] deal with Russia to get some oil out, from from
[00:09:50] Russia, all these signifies the fact that they are desperate, saying
[00:09:54] you know he had the control, he saying
[00:09:56] you know he had the control, formost, there is no
[00:09:59] control, there is no control on babul mandap,
[00:10:03] we've been watching what the yemenis, what ansarulah is
[00:10:06] doing,
[00:10:10] the Iranian deputy foreign minister says, Iran seeks constructive relations
[00:10:14] with its neighbors, but considers the presence of American forces in the region
[00:10:17] a cause of insecurity. Speaking a press
[00:10:21] conferencem said security and stability the Persian Gulf.
[00:10:25] region can only be established by the regional countries, not foreign
[00:10:29] forces. He added that the uh 40-day US-Israeli aggression
[00:10:33] against Iran showed that the presence of American forces has been a
[00:10:37] source of insecurity even for those countries that are hosting American military
[00:10:40] bases. Khari stressed that the security of Iran and regional
[00:10:44] countries are intertwined. He said Iran expects other
[00:10:48] countries not to provide their territory for aggression
[00:10:52] against its national security otherwise. Iran will take
[00:10:56] all necessary measures to defend itself. Khadi Babadi
[00:10:59] expressed hope that neighboring countries would join hands to ensure peace and
[00:11:03] security in the region instead of relying on foreign
[00:11:06] powers.
[00:11:12] Journalist and political analyst John Bosnit says, as long as Arab States
[00:11:16] in the Persian Gulf depend on the US for their security, uh, they
[00:11:20] will uh be unable to enjoy lasting
[00:11:23] peace.
[00:11:28] "the Israel lobby in the United States controls Donald Trump
[00:11:32] and has push Donald Trump into a war that he was
[00:11:36] lied to about, they told him that he could win the war in
[00:11:39] two weeks and apparently he's declared victory
[00:11:43] several times and there is no victory in
[00:11:46] sight. The bigger issue at stake
[00:11:50] here is the decolonization the
[00:11:53] entire Gulf'. many these
[00:11:57] states, especially Saudi Arabia, the Emirates and so
[00:12:01] on, are the leftovers, the holdovers the
[00:12:04] previous British empire and its control over the
[00:12:08] region. now that the British Empire has gone and the
[00:12:12] United States has tried to take over the British empire, these
[00:12:16] fell into US control. now what we're seeing is
[00:12:19] the home-grown resistance the Iranian people to
[00:12:23] the foreign control. the region, and if the Gulf
[00:12:27] states were willing to be independent, and if they
[00:12:31] were willing to operate as sovereign states, there could be some
[00:12:35] negotiations with them by Iran, but so long as they
[00:12:39] are dependencies of foreign superpower that answers
[00:12:43] to a criminal bribery scheme called the
[00:12:47] Israeli lobby in America, there can't be any
[00:12:50] peace, and so Iran is actually fighting a war of
[00:12:54] liberation.
[00:13:14] the armed forces carried out for qualitative operations in the past 24
[00:13:18] hours using ballistic and cruise missiles and drones the
[00:13:22] first operation targeted in three phases king. national airport in
[00:13:25] Riad, resulting in the disruption of air traffic and the complete closure the
[00:13:29] airport. The second operation targeted the sugar dam gas
[00:13:33] facility belonging to Arenko in the eastern province and resulted in
[00:13:37] large fires breaking out at the targeted site. The
[00:13:41] third operation targeted the Arenko tanajib oil refinery in the eastern
[00:13:45] province and resulted in ignition in it. The fourth
[00:13:48] operation targeted King Ford International Airport in
[00:13:51] Damon.
[00:13:55] Brigady general Yahya Ceri added:
[00:13:58] Yemeni forces deployed six ballistic missiles and two drones against Saudi back
[00:14:02] troops in Bob Almandip region.
[00:14:04] He said the attacks are in response to um over
[00:14:07] 124 Saudi-backed air strikes across
[00:14:10] the emimen in 24 hours. Yahya said he reiterated the warning against
[00:14:14] using Saudi airports, except those in Mecca and
[00:14:18] Medina, declaring them potential targets. He said operations would
[00:14:21] continue to escalate under the principle of escalation for esc. and
[00:14:25] blockade for blockade until saudi military aggression and the
[00:14:29] siege are brought to an
[00:14:30] end.
[00:14:36] military and strategic analyst Ali ham believes Saudi Arabia is
[00:14:40] losing the war in Yemen and is now begging other countries for
[00:14:42] help.
[00:14:47] The Saudies are losing the strategic war, why? because the
[00:14:51] Yemanies are not in need of water passes. or to
[00:14:55] pass through babel mandab or somewhere
[00:14:59] else, they are the they are very
[00:15:03] close to to africa edge of oman sea, edge of
[00:15:06] oman sea, at the shore of oman sea, close to oman
[00:15:10] sea, also the close to oman sea, also the arabian
[00:15:14] sea, saudi arabia is in
[00:15:18] short strategy, lock of strategy to
[00:15:22] go into war against yemen for...
[00:15:26] you know
[00:15:26] they experienced such war for eight years
[00:15:28] with huge allies and
[00:15:31] more effective and
[00:15:35] strongest allies ever. for eight years
[00:15:39] before and they did not succeed, now they are trying with some
[00:15:42] mercenaries, they are trying to help uh for the
[00:15:45] triple agreements in Mecca from Turkey and
[00:15:48] Pakistan, the you know it gets
[00:15:52] to Muhammad bin Salman to ask the support of
[00:15:55] Aljuani to send some mercenaries to Al Yeman to
[00:15:59] fight on behalf of Saudi Arabia, so we
[00:16:03] see that Saudi Arabia for such escalation.
[00:16:08] It's exactly remind us of what happened
[00:16:11] during Yeman supporting Gaza
[00:16:15] saying escalation against
[00:16:17] escalation, airport against airport, and
[00:16:21] this is exactly what happened and it's all
[00:16:24] still the allie, the resistance ally
[00:16:28] for the benefits of Palestine against
[00:16:31] the abstin allies for the
[00:16:35] benefits of Israel.
[00:16:41] The Palestinian Resistance moving Hamas has strongly condemned recent threats by
[00:16:45] Israel's Minister of Military Affairs to assassinate the head the
[00:16:48] movement's political bureau Khalidal an
[00:16:52] official statement Hamas said Israel's uh Israel
[00:16:56] cats threat amounts to organized state
[00:17:00] terrorism and reflects the rogue regime's lack of respect for international
[00:17:04] law. The movent added that Israel's threat to kill Hamas chiefful.
[00:17:07] reveals the political bankrupcy the occupying regime and its
[00:17:11] fascist member stress that such threats will not alter the
[00:17:15] movement's firm position or its approach to struggle in resistance
[00:17:19] until all the rights the Palestinian people were restored.
[00:17:23] Hamas emphasized that Israel's threats will only strengthen the resolve the movement and
[00:17:27] its leaders. It called on the Gaza's ceasefire mediators to take a decisive
[00:17:31] stance against Israel's reckless threats and forced the regime to
[00:17:34] fulfill its obligations including stopping. the aggression and lifting
[00:17:38] the blockade on
[00:17:39] Gaza.
[00:17:46] South greens have demonstrated in downtown Soul on Saturday to call
[00:17:50] attention to the continuing US-Israeli genocide in
[00:17:53] Gaza and the U.S. war on Iran. They slammed US President Donald
[00:17:57] Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benim Netanyahu has war criminals.
[00:18:01] Press TV correspondent Frank Smith reports from the South Green Capital
[00:18:04] Soul.
[00:18:09] Palestinians, west Asians and people from all over join South
[00:18:13] Koreans to march and rally in downtown soul to draw attention
[00:18:17] to the genocide in Gaza now marking three years.
[00:18:20] Palestinians express their gratitude in solidarity
[00:18:24] on this global day of action for Palestine. From
[00:18:28] Palestine to Korea, from Gaza to all the peoples the world,
[00:18:32] we will remain united because justice knows no borders, because
[00:18:36] our freedom is intercon. connected and because our destinies are
[00:18:39] intertwined, we will not stop until the genocide ends,
[00:18:43] until wars and occupation come to an end, and until every
[00:18:46] people achieve freedom, dignity, and the right to self-determination.
[00:18:50] Colonial settler identities are seen to contribute to enabling
[00:18:54] action and failure the international community to end the
[00:18:58] conflict. Part of why these superpowers
[00:19:02] are not acting against Israel's genocide, is
[00:19:06] because then they would... have to confront their own genocide that they have
[00:19:10] historically committed against the native people, for instance the native
[00:19:13] americans or aboriginal people in Australia. US
[00:19:17] president Donald Trump has rubber stamped Israel's genocide with
[00:19:21] weapons and diplomatic cover for Israel, drawing harsh
[00:19:25] criticism. Protesters also targeted his illegal
[00:19:28] war on Iran. Trump again played the fear card to
[00:19:32] generate support for his failed forever war against
[00:19:36] Iran.
[00:19:37] attempt
[00:19:37] to distract
[00:19:47] attention from American war crimes
[00:19:49] in the failures of his administration.
[00:19:52] Trump's under fire here for pressuring South Korea to send troops
[00:19:56] to help with his war on Iran. Trump and
[00:20:00] Netanyahu must bring the wars to an end and I hope for the defeat the US
[00:20:04] and Israel. South Korea must absolutely refrain from deploying troops to
[00:20:08] support the conflict between the US and Iran. I believe that no support
[00:20:12] should be provided for the war any way, whether as combat troops or
[00:20:15] non-combat personnel. As the Gaza tool now surpasses
[00:20:19] 75,00 people killed by Israel, global
[00:20:23] condemnation demands freedom for Palestine. Frank
[00:20:27] Smith, press TV.
[00:20:28] Soul. Tens
[00:20:32] of thousands take to the streets of Brussels demanding that European
[00:20:36] leaders prioritize. climate action and social justice
[00:20:40] over military spending campaigners say governments are feeling wars
[00:20:44] while neglecting the environmental crisis threatening the planet Jerome
[00:20:47] Huws reports from the Belgian.
[00:20:54] As far as the eye can see, tens of thousands flood central
[00:20:58] brussels on Sunday, demanding radical shift in political
[00:21:02] priorities. Climate change dominates the
[00:21:05] march, but opposition to war and the EU's massive military
[00:21:09] spending is also high on the agenda. Real
[00:21:12] resilience of society is to invest in
[00:21:16] climate, is to invest in social policies. That is
[00:21:20] important, more important than investing uh hundreds of
[00:21:24] millions, billions and weapons. Against the backdrop the
[00:21:27] illegal US-Israeli war against Iran, Israel's
[00:21:31] genocide in Gaza and the conflict in Ukraine,
[00:21:34] protesters accuse western leaders of prioritizing
[00:21:38] warfare over peace, climate action and social
[00:21:41] protection. Bien sure, of course, political figures in America,
[00:21:45] the UK and here in the EU are focused on war. They have vested
[00:21:49] in interests, but the people want peace, prosperity
[00:21:53] and normal climate. Research suggests the world's militaries
[00:21:57] account for around 5.5% of global
[00:22:01] greenhouse gas emissions, exposing the staggering
[00:22:04] environmental cost of militarization. Focus
[00:22:07] on the danger, war,
[00:22:11] weapons, climate. When
[00:22:14] financial institutions face collapse, governments find billions to
[00:22:18] rescue them. protesters are asking why the same urgency isn't
[00:22:22] shown when it comes to saving the planet. if the
[00:22:26] the earth was a bank, it was it would have already been
[00:22:30] saved. so i think that we
[00:22:33] have the capacity, we have the money, we
[00:22:36] have, we can take the right decision to make it possible.
[00:22:40] sunday's protest brought together activists trying to highlight a whole
[00:22:44] range of subjects, not just the climate. more than 100
[00:22:48] Belgian civil society groups and including trade unions, environmental
[00:22:52] organizations, humanitarian justice activists were involved,
[00:22:56] justice activists were involved. The message from these campaigners
[00:22:59] could not be any clearer, governments cannot claim to be fighting climate
[00:23:03] change while pouring hundreds of billions into military
[00:23:06] expansion. They argue that the world needs, they argue that
[00:23:10] the world needs less investment in warfare, and more

[00:23:22] That's a wrap for now, but stick around, we've got plenty more to come here on Press TV, see you

[00:23:46] they call themselves Ancerula, where the supporters of God. god and
[00:23:50] regard confronting American and Israeli aggression and domination
[00:23:54] in the region as one their principal objectives. They are among the
[00:23:58] most courageous fighters of our time, men who face bombardment and
[00:24:02] death, yet refuse to retreat even a single step from their believes
[00:24:06] in their path of resistance. For years, they have fought
[00:24:09] Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in defense of Yemen,
[00:24:13] a war backed by American military support. They have
[00:24:17] resisted every attempt to force their country into suspect.

[00:24:24] repeatedly struck Israeli targets nearly 2,0 kilometers
[00:24:27] away. On July 13th,
[00:24:30] 2026, Saudi Arabia bombed the runway at
[00:24:33] Sanaah International Airport and attempt to prevent an Iranian
[00:24:37] aircraft from landing. Ansarula declared that Riyad had ended the
[00:24:41] period of deescalation, he promised immediate
[00:24:44] response. Within hours, Saudi airports including
[00:24:48] Aba international airport came. under attack. This was
[00:24:52] nothing new. The Yemini Resistance movement has repeatedly
[00:24:56] demonstrated its ability to reach deep inside Saudi
[00:24:59] Arabia. In September 2019, its
[00:25:02] drone strike on the ABC and Kurais oil facilities
[00:25:06] exposed the vulnerability of Saudi Aramco despite billions of dollars
[00:25:10] worth of American-made air defense systems. Now the
[00:25:14] resistance movement warns that any new attack on Yemen's infrastructure
[00:25:17] could bring even more strategic targets. into range, including the
[00:25:21] vital oil facilities at Yanbu. Today, more than
[00:25:25] 70% of Saudi oil exports bypass the straight of Hormus
[00:25:29] through pipelines to Yanbu on the Red Sea, but from there they
[00:25:33] must still pass through the Bob Almandab straight. If that route
[00:25:37] is closed, Saudi Arabia's alternative export corridor
[00:25:40] disappears. Ansarula has already shown it can disrupt one the
[00:25:44] world's busiest maritime choke points. Since the outbreak the
[00:25:48] Gaza War in 2020. three it is launched attacks in the Red
[00:25:52] Sea, declaring that it would target vessels linked to Israel in

[00:25:59] operations have forced major shipping companies to reroot. around Southern
[00:26:03] Africa increased global transport costs and pushed
[00:26:06] Israel's southern port of ilot, the brink of
[00:26:09] collapse. If both the straight of Hormus and Bob
[00:26:13] Almandab were closed at the same time, nearly a quarter the world's
[00:26:17] oil and gas supply and almost 1/3ird of global container
[00:26:20] traffic could be affected. Oil prices could sore toward
[00:26:24] $200 per barrel while Europe's energy security would face severe
[00:26:28] pressure. For Ansarula, Yemen is not
[00:26:32] merely. another battlefield it is a strategic front with the
[00:26:35] power to reshape the global
[00:26:37] economy. the axis of
[00:26:40] resistance still holds powerful strategic cards in
[00:26:43] reserve. cards that once played could leave even
[00:26:47] America unable to respond despite all its military
[00:26:50] might.
[00:28:37] This is Shiraz, the city of great poets, art and
[00:28:40] fantasy. I came to the Islamic Republic of Iran and
[00:28:43] this is the tomb of
[00:28:45] Hafiz. Now we
[00:28:49] are in Vakil Bazar, very old bazar in
[00:28:52] Shiraz. We
[00:28:56] are in the masillium of Shahe Charaf. He is Imam
[00:28:59] Reza's brother. He is the one who went to help Imam. and
[00:29:03] on the way the enemies killed him and he was buried

[00:29:34] Breaking news: a major escalation in tensions between the US and
[00:29:38] Iran, the top ironing in general Assam Salmani has been killed in an
[00:29:42] air strike while leaving the Baghdad airport. He was with an Iraqi paramilitary
[00:29:45] commander named Abu Mahi al-Muhandis and other Iraqi
[00:29:49] officials. Circling somewhere high above them was reaper, a
[00:29:52] US military remote controlled killer
[00:29:55] drone. It's unlikely they would
[00:29:59] have seen or heard it. They probably... died
[00:30:03] instantly. Soleimani was the commander the
[00:30:06] Quds force, a unit of Iran's revolutionary guard,
[00:30:10] responsible for foreign operations, and he was also considered to
[00:30:14] be the second most powerful man in Iran behind the country's supreme
[00:30:18] leader, Ali Khamani, the Pentagon announcing that
[00:30:22] the strike was ordered by President Trump.
[00:30:24] Salamani was actively planning new attacks
[00:30:28] and he was looking very seriously and
