00:00:38is that Yemeni men, women,
00:00:41and children have stood by this
00:00:45pure religion with their blood, their
00:00:48honor, and their dignity. God willing, victory will
00:00:52be theirs. Every night, we pray for them in the squares
00:00:55and streets. We tell them that we are
00:00:57with them
00:01:00until the last moment. We send them
00:01:03positive energy, and we stand by them. We,
00:01:07the people of Iran, with full strength,
00:01:10and with reliance on the Supreme Leader,
00:01:13support the Yemeni forces and their commanders.
00:01:16God willing, we extend our best wishes to the commanders
00:01:20and soldiers of the dear Yemeni
00:01:23resistance. God bless you! God willing,
00:01:26we will be successful and soon celebrate
00:01:30the victory of the front of Islam against
00:01:34infidelity together, under the leadership
00:01:37of Imam Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei
00:01:40and the advent of Imam Mahdi. God willing, this flag
00:01:44of pure Muhammadan Islam will remain, and we will stand
00:01:48by this flag and Islam
00:01:49until the last drop of our
00:01:53blood. My homeland,
00:01:56my homeland, my homeland, my soul
00:02:08and body. I think we only kill people who are bringing
00:02:12drugs into our country. So we kill them. You know,
00:02:15they're gone. In September 2025, the Trump
00:02:18administration began targeting vessels in the Caribbean
00:02:21Sea and the Eastern Pacific, claiming that these boats
00:02:25were carrying drugs to the US. Whoever is operating
00:02:29those boats is a criminal because they want to kill our
00:02:32people. More than 220 people were killed
00:02:35in over 60 attacks. However, the Trump administration
00:02:38has not released the names of these individuals.
00:02:41The only public evidence of their deaths are official
00:02:45press releases and these videos released by the US government.
00:02:49A group of UN human rights experts warned on November
00:02:534, 2025, that these attacks are effectively
00:02:56extrajudicial killings. Can you believe your brother
00:03:00was fighting the US government? How is it even
00:03:03possible for a small person from a small country
00:03:07who didn't even finish high
00:03:09school to fight the US? No, that was
00:03:13never
00:03:14the case.
00:03:21On February 13, 2026,
00:03:2438-year-old fisherman Ricky Joseph was at sea
00:03:27as usual.
00:03:33I called him, and no one answered. I slowly
00:03:37started to get worried. I called him, and it didn't
00:03:40ring. His
00:03:43wife called him and said Ricky hadn't
00:03:46come home yet. I said something must have happened
00:03:50to Ricky because it had never happened before that Ricky
00:03:54went to sea and didn't
00:03:55answer my call.
00:03:58Fishermen had a video of a boat
00:04:02exploding.
00:04:04They said if it was Ricky's boat, then the captain was my
00:04:08brother.
00:04:11When I saw it, I shouted that my younger brother
00:04:14was the captain of that boat.
00:04:21That same day, the Trump administration released a video
00:04:25of a US attack on a small boat, claiming it was a designated
00:04:29terrorist organization. The President
00:04:30and Secretary
00:04:36of War clearly stated that drug and terrorist
00:04:40groups designated by the President are targets
00:04:44for killing under the laws of war. This operation dates
00:04:48back to the first day of Trump's presidency,
00:04:51when he signed an executive order that led to some
00:04:55drug trafficking groups being designated as terrorist
00:04:58organizations, actions that paved the way for the attacks. We had
00:05:01a war on drugs, a war on terror. What we have now is the worst
00:05:05version of both wars. That is, we have the evils of the war on drugs
00:05:09and the evils of the war on terror. They kill 250,000 to 300
00:06:12people annually. Going to areas controlled
00:06:16by cartels and guerrilla groups to identify the victims
00:06:19was very difficult and dangerous. They made their utmost
00:06:22effort. But despite all their efforts,
00:06:26the information is still not complete, and we only know a very
00:06:30small part of the truth. Usually, when you go there,
00:06:33you go 50 to 60 miles away.
00:06:36After they explode the boat, the boat comes all
00:06:40the way here. To prepare this documentary, we,
00:06:43in cooperation with journalists from six countries, tried
00:06:47to find the families of those believed to have been killed in these attacks.
00:06:50Most of them did not want to speak openly. They feared the cartels,
00:06:53their own governments, or the Trump administration. You know,
00:06:57my brother Ricky Joseph was killed by the US government. He was just
00:07:00a small-time fisherman. But in Saint Lucia, Ricky's
00:07:04family spoke to us. I am very angry about this.
00:07:07They said that day he was not alone. He had gone
00:07:11to sea with another man, Joseph
00:07:13William, known as Naughty. Naughty was a brilliant
00:07:17fisherman. He was one of the people I paid the most.
00:07:21He was truly, I must say, amazing. Kamran Naughtyliam
00:07:25rents boats to local fishermen. That day they
00:07:29were on one of those boats. I tried to call Naughty,
00:07:32and I couldn't reach him. You know, I called
00:07:34him several times. Most of these attacks leave
00:07:38no evidence. But in this attack, Kamran recognized
00:07:42the boat in a video that was circulating on social
00:07:46media and managed to save some remains before it sank.
00:07:49When I brought the boat ashore, I realized
00:07:52it had my own colors. It was green on the outside,
00:07:55black on the bottom, and red on the inside. I didn't want to believe
00:07:59it was my boat because I can't believe
00:08:03that I completely lost these wonderful people so easily, and they are
00:08:07no longer here. It was truly
00:08:10painful. Kamran says a few months ago, he was told
00:08:14that before the attack, they saw several drones
00:08:17hovering over the boat. Ricky's brother, Titus, says
00:08:20fishermen told him they saw an explosion in the direction
00:08:24of Ricky Naughty's boat. Did you talk to the fishermen
00:08:28who were there? Well, the kids who went to sea that day
00:08:31saw a boat pass them. After a while, they saw
00:08:35an explosion. They said there was a big fire and thick
00:08:38black smoke. Ricky left behind his wife Lucia
00:08:43and four children. He was a good father. He didn't buy clothes or shoes
00:08:47for himself. He spent everything on his children. He loved
00:08:50the sea.
00:08:53He would go to sea to fish.
00:08:57On weekends, I and the children would go fishing
00:09:00with him. He liked to speed up the boat and make
00:09:04us laugh. He did things to make us all have a good time.
00:09:07Our lives are hard now because I have
00:09:11to be both a mother and a father to the children.
00:09:15I have to earn money to buy them bags, books,
00:09:18and shoes so I can send them to school.
00:09:21How can I explain to the children where their father
00:09:24actually went? When Naughty and Ricky
00:09:28didn't return home, their families went
00:09:30to the police. I went to the police station
00:09:34and filed a missing person report. I asked a few
00:09:38questions, and then nothing else.
00:09:42We contacted the St. Lucia police several times by
00:09:46email and phone to ask what they knew about
00:09:49Ricky Naughty's disappearance, but we received
00:09:53no response. So we went to the police station to see
00:09:56if we could talk to someone. What happened
00:10:00to the families who filed missing person reports for the two men?
00:10:03I cannot answer any of your questions, sir. Do you understand?
00:10:07I cannot answer any of your questions. But because of that,
00:10:10I have to tell you that I cannot
00:10:15answer your questions at all. Has anyone from the US government
00:10:19or an official from the St. Lucia government ever told you what
00:10:23actually happened to Ricky?
00:10:25No. You know, since
00:10:27this happened, no one from the government
00:10:31has contacted us.
00:10:40We had an opportunity to ask this question directly to the Prime
00:10:44Minister of Saint Lucia. The last question from the
00:10:47journalists. We were investigating the disappearance of two
00:10:50Saint Lucian citizens, Ricky Joseph and Naughty Williams.
00:10:54All evidence indicates that their deaths were due to a US
00:10:58attack on their boat on February 13, 2026. Therefore, my question
00:11:02to you, Prime Minister Pierre,
00:11:06is how can justice be achieved in this case and
00:11:09the truth be revealed? We have requested information
00:11:13from the United
00:11:17States, and we have no information
00:11:20about what happened. As far as we are
00:11:24concerned, these individuals are
00:11:27missing, and our law enforcement agencies
00:11:30are doing their best to determine what happened. As far
00:11:34as we are concerned, the United States has not
00:11:38provided us with any information on this matter. We wanted
00:11:42to see the only physical evidence in this case
00:11:45with our own eyes: the remains of the boat
00:11:48Ricky Naughty was on.
00:11:51This boat is one of the only suspected survivors of an attack
00:11:55from the South Spear operation in South America.
00:11:58We found it outside the police
00:12:12station. It is clear that the evidence points to a massive
00:12:16explosion. Its holes can be seen throughout
00:12:19the boat. Prime Minister Pierre says he is waiting
00:12:22for information from the US to complete his investigation.
00:12:26This is the only physical evidence available. Weeds
00:12:28and vines have grown on it. In five more months,
00:12:32I don't know if anything
00:12:33will be left of this boat.
00:12:42They are high-ranking officials. What can I do? Imagine
00:12:46you live in a small country. Even the prime
00:12:50minister is afraid of that man because he might drop
00:12:54the same bomb he dropped on that boat on this small
00:12:58country and level it. How do you think justice can be served
00:13:01for your father? Sometimes I wonder if justice even
00:13:05exists. The attacks were carried out by US Southern
00:13:08Command, which oversees military activities in Latin
00:13:12America and the Caribbean. But they don't explain
00:13:16how they selected their targets or what the legal basis
00:13:20is for killing these innocent people. The arguments
00:13:23are presented in a classified
00:13:26Department of Justice memorandum. For the military to target
00:13:30these individuals as enemy forces, you have to deeply
00:13:33believe that the US is at war with drug and terrorist
00:13:37organizations and that these individuals are enemy
00:13:41forces harming the United States, and also
00:13:44that the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific are war zones.
00:13:48None of the points we raised are true
00:13:51or factual. According to
00:14:10or violence against Americans. They have no intention of attacking
00:14:13the United
00:14:14States.
00:14:18We have not seen any evidence that any of these killed individuals
00:14:22intended to reach US shores. In a statement,
00:14:26a Southern Command spokesman said: All our attacks
00:14:29are carried out under strict legal authority and based
00:14:33on complete information and specific targeting
00:14:36criteria. The President has authorized commanders to take
00:14:39any necessary action, meaning difficult, covert actions
00:14:43in the dead of night on behalf of the American people.
00:14:47We support them. The operation dubbed "South Spear"
00:14:51has faced questions about its legality since its first
00:14:55attack on September 2. It later became clear that the US
00:14:58had attacked a boat for the second time that day, killing two
00:15:02people who survived the first attack. If you look at it
00:15:06from the perspective of domestic law, it's murder. If you
00:15:09look at it from the perspective of international
00:15:12law, it's a war crime. The government
00:15:15apparently acts as if it can kill you if it
00:15:19calls you a terrorist. Can it? No, it's not
00:15:22that easy to put your name on a kill list. In a military
00:15:26situation, to kill someone, either Congress must
00:15:29have authorized it, or there must be an immediate
00:15:33self-defense justification. Then the government can temporarily
00:15:37authorize killing, but
00:15:40later Congress must confirm it. Yet, it seems
00:15:43the US can kill people with impunity. There seems
00:15:47to be no legal justification for the use of lethal force,
00:15:51and it also seems that no one will be held
00:15:53accountable for these killings. On September 15, 2025,
00:15:5742-year-old Alejandro Carranza was off the coast
00:16:00of Colombia when his family says they lost
00:16:04contact with him. People told me that Alejandro was probably
00:16:07killed in one of the bombings. They said that. His childhood
00:16:11friends were among the first to link his disappearance
00:16:15to a video of an attack that Trump had posted on social
00:16:18media. You can see in the video that the engines are up.
00:16:22This indicates that the boat is adrift in the water
00:16:25and it's a complete emergency.
00:16:33What made you think that person in the boat was Alejandro?
00:16:37We had no doubt it was him. Some time has passed,
00:16:39and there has been no news
00:16:42from Alejandro. The family came to identify
00:16:45him, and the fishermen found out
00:16:48that the boat was Colombian. And all this evidence
00:16:52on its own was telling of what a heartbreaking
00:16:55thing had happened to my friend. A truly
00:16:58terrible event. Alejandro's family filed
00:17:02a complaint with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights,
00:17:06accusing the US government of violating his right
00:17:09to life and due process. If he was really
00:17:12a narco-terrorist, as they say, why
00:17:16didn't they go after him and arrest
00:17:20him and prove that he was
00:17:22a narco-terrorist? And if he really
00:17:25was a narco-terrorist, at least we would have
00:17:29had an inheritance and lived a better
00:17:32life. They can check his life and see
00:17:35how we are living.
00:17:54I wanted to send a message to America and to
00:17:57Trump. I ask him to use
00:18:00his conscience, his humanity,
00:18:03and his feelings to help stop
00:18:08these bombings because no human being deserves
00:18:12to die the way my children's father
00:18:15died. Volker Turk, the UN High
00:18:19Commissioner for Human Rights, also called
00:18:23the US military attacks in the Caribbean Sea
00:18:26and the Eastern Pacific extrajudicial killings
00:18:29and explicitly stated that these actions have
00:18:32no justification under international law. He emphasized
00:18:36that combating drug trafficking is inherently
00:18:39a law enforcement issue, not a military
00:18:43operation, and the intentional use of lethal force
00:18:47is only permissible in the face of an immediate
00:18:50threat to life. A look at the past few decades shows
00:18:54that the US has repeatedly demonstrated its disregard
00:18:58for international law. From the 1986 International
00:19:01Court of Justice ruling that ordered the US
00:19:04to pay over $12 billion in reparations
00:19:08to Nicaragua, which Washington simply refused to implement,
00:19:12to the unilateral withdrawal from the Paris Climate
00:19:15Agreement and the sanctions on International Criminal
00:19:19Court prosecutors to prevent investigations into US war
00:19:23crimes, there is no doubt that the US has a selective
00:19:26approach to international law. As long as it benefits
00:19:30it, it is a staunch defender. The moment it turns against
00:19:33it, it renders it ineffective with a veto, sanctions,
00:19:36or unilateral withdrawal. The US government has released
00:19:39few details about where and how the boats
00:19:43were targeted. However, senators who have seen
00:19:46the targeting criteria say that drugs do
00:19:50not necessarily have to be on the boats
00:19:54that the US attacks, and there is no evidence
00:19:57that these operations have stopped drug trafficking.
00:20:00Blowing up traffickers who are not carrying fentanyl
00:20:04or any drugs at all and are not heading
00:20:07towards the US, as far as I know, has had
00:20:11little effect on drug trafficking operations. What
00:20:14policies have actually been effective in reducing
00:20:18drug trafficking? I think large-scale criminal
00:20:22prosecutions and targeting cartel members in disrupting
00:20:25networks have been very successful. But at the same time
00:20:29that the US was killing alleged drug traffickers at sea,
00:20:33Trump completely pardoned a man convicted
00:20:36of drug trafficking in court.
00:20:50Hernandez and his accomplices helped. He said he wanted
00:20:53to put cocaine in the foreign ring. Then the president
00:20:57said, "Well, I have some friends who say he's not really
00:21:01that criminal, so I'll let him go." So really,
00:21:04who gets killed and who goes through the normal
00:21:08legal process is completely arbitrary. Lawmakers from both
00:21:12parties have questioned these attacks. If they were
00:21:16drug traffickers, why weren't they arrested
00:21:20and prosecuted? We still haven't received
00:21:23adequate answers to these basic questions at all. In a letter
00:21:26to the White House, Democratic Senator Tim Kaine said
00:21:30that evidence shows the US has killed people
00:21:33who were not involved in drug trafficking. He called
00:21:37them victims of murder and called on the White House
00:21:41to stop these illegal, ineffective, and costly
00:21:45operations. Despite these objections, the attacks
00:21:48continued. We don't even have a hearing on this
00:21:52issue. No one is publicly testifying about what
00:21:54happened. On August 4, 2026, the US ended
00:21:58Operation South Spear. The same day, it was announced
00:22:02that a broader military campaign against drug
00:22:06trafficking would be launched across Latin America. Attacks
00:22:09resumed on August
00:22:1123, 2026.
00:25:03Given that one unit is already there, why is a second unit
00:25:06going to the region, and why is Trump doing this now?
00:25:10He could have waited another month and done this after
00:25:14the election. Finally, Trump has not backed
00:25:18down from the nuclear issue,
00:26:02so now we see what happens. But I think the idea
00:26:06is that this week he had information that the Iranians
00:26:10want to target American planes at one of the American
00:26:13bases in Britain, and therefore he carried
00:26:16out a large-scale evacuation of planes from this base.
00:26:20And I think this military buildup by the US is also
00:26:24aimed at deterring Iran and maintaining full
00:26:27readiness against them. Imagine if the Iranians really
00:26:31succeeded in hitting those very expensive planes
00:26:34that are in Fairford, Britain, what would happen? Now
00:26:38Trump is preparing for an event in which the Iranians might
00:26:41be lucky and be able to hit one of America's
00:26:45assets or damage it, and then Trump
00:26:48will be forced to react. I think he wants to keep
00:26:52all options open and scare
00:26:54the Iranians.
00:30:23In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Dear viewers, good morning.
00:30:27Welcome to the 7:00 news section. The Minister of Agriculture Jihad
00:30:31announced the settlement of 95% of wheat
00:30:35farmers' claims and said that the remaining 20
00:30:39trillion Tomans will also be paid soon. Mr. Nouri
00:30:42stated that this year's agricultural production
00:30:46fully meets domestic needs and said that imports
00:30:49are still ongoing. The head of the Wheat Farmers' Foundation
00:30:53also announced a historic
00:30:56with 14 million tons,
