00:00:08of
00:00:11of
00:00:12of
00:00:31We should know that they speak falsely of negotiations, even
00:00:34now they continue to lie, when they find themselves at the height of
00:00:38weakness, they call for
00:00:40of sess
00:00:41of fire. From the past until today,
00:00:43of they continue with shameless audacity to speak of human rights,
00:00:47yet the crimes they have committed are unprecedented
00:00:51in
00:00:51history.
00:00:57So what was really
00:00:59a happening? was
00:01:00of Washington stepping back because diplomacy had suddenly prevailed,
00:01:04or because the
00:01:05of military balance was changing in ways, it could no longer
00:01:08ignore.
00:01:13The war that Donald Trump launched against the Iran, the one he once
00:01:17believed would only
00:01:18in last for few weeks, has now entered it sixth month.
00:01:22Casualties continue to mount, weapon stock pows are being
00:01:25depleted and gasoline prices have once again surged.
00:01:29Trump is... eager to bring the conflict to an end, but it is becoming
00:01:33increasingly clear that his wishes alone are
00:01:36of no longer enough to determine whether the war ends or
00:01:39continues.
00:01:44former Israeli military intelligence official Denis Setrinovits
00:01:48offered a revealing assessment. Iran, he
00:01:52argued, is no longer reacting to events set in motion by
00:01:55Washington. It is increasingly dictating the pace, timing,
00:02:11of in
00:02:12a
00:02:30five times that he has destroyed Iran, 88 times than an
00:02:34agreement with Iran is
00:02:36of imminent, and
00:02:36a 75 times
00:02:37of that the street of hormos is open. Well, if the street is
00:02:41open, why is America still struggling there? I
00:02:44tell you that all these lies will eventually produce
00:02:48a reactions against Trump
00:02:52a himself. deformatic efforts continued behind the
00:02:56scenes. Reuters reported that Oman had proposed.
00:03:00replacing Iran's exclusive
00:03:01of role in securing the straight of hormos with
00:03:04a regional security arrangement, involving Persian Gulf
00:03:07states and funded through voluntary user
00:03:10contributions. A day later, Reuters reported that
00:03:14Tehran had rejected the proposal outright, concluding
00:03:17in that it offered no realistic path
00:03:19forward. Mr. Ehsan
00:03:23Eqbal Said and
00:03:25journallist.
00:03:29of Until now, as matter of customary practice,
00:03:33the Islamic Republic of Iran, regardless of whether it was fair or
00:03:37not, as out of good neighborliness and in accordance with
00:03:41international custom, and despite existing objections,
00:03:44respected the state of hermus, yet over these past
00:03:4840 days, this straight has been used against the lives
00:03:52of our officials, our people and our territorial
00:03:55integrity, naturally, what we have secured
00:03:59through. sacrifice of our youth and the resistance of our
00:04:02people will not accept in any plan that seeks to eliminate
00:04:06our independent will and the exercise of our
00:04:10sovereignty over the
00:04:11straight.
00:04:14meanwhile, many
00:04:16of observers of assumed that the daily exchanges had quietly evolved into
00:04:20of undeclared ceasefire, that Iran would avoid striking American
00:04:24forces unless directly attacked. the
00:04:27battlefield told
00:04:29a different story. Iran was no longer fighting
00:04:32according to the old rules. Iran's recent
00:04:36surprise attacks against US military bases in Jordan,
00:04:40could uh signal a
00:04:41of major shift in its
00:04:43of military strategy, meaning that
00:04:44it is now prepared to carry out preemptive strikes to
00:04:48deter Washington. Now what does this shift actually
00:04:52entil and how does it differ from Iran's previous
00:04:55military strategy?
00:05:00The change in Iran's military doctrine was fundamentally based a
00:05:04plan prepared by the armed forces. According to that plan,
00:05:08in the first stage we maintain a defensive posture and never
00:05:11initiate. war at the same time, however, in
00:05:15certain periods we adopt an offensive posture, as you
00:05:19can see in the recent developments in the straight of armus, Iran has
00:05:22introduced changes to its monetary doctrine. This
00:05:26was only one aspect of our strategy, which shifted
00:05:30to an offensive mode so that the enemy would understand it
00:05:34cannot simply do whatever it wishes, while we remain
00:05:37subordinate to
00:05:38it. During. the
00:05:4212-day war, the United States and Israel seized the initiative,
00:05:46leaving Tehran to respond. This time, Iran
00:05:50chose to strike first. Preemptive
00:05:53operations, strategic surprise, and attacks on high value
00:05:57military targets has become central to its evolving
00:06:00doctrine. As Major General Ali
00:06:03Abdullahi, commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya's central
00:06:07headquarters declared, the Americans and their mercenaries
00:06:11have learned that their coffins are. now part their military equipment in the
00:06:14region, as our late leader always said, the air of
00:06:18hit and run is
00:06:19over.
00:06:26we also talked with general muhammad Jafar Asadi, the deputy
00:06:30commander of khatam-anbiya's central headquarters.
00:06:34Trump has once again threatened to carry out an all-out war
00:06:38against Iran. how do you think Iran would
00:06:41respond?
00:07:12true today: last week, when I visited Iran's islands,
00:07:16I saw that our forces are waiting for the day when America
00:07:20commits this mistake and launches a ground operation against
00:07:24us, and that day we will put these American captives
00:07:28on
00:07:28display.
00:07:32after six months of war under Donald Trump, Iran can claim
00:07:35one significant advantage, Washington is increasingly being
00:07:39forced to fight on Tehran's terms. Trump's
00:07:43administration's increasingly aggressive rhetoric, growing evidence
00:07:46suggests that the United States lacks the resources needed to sustain
00:07:50a large-scale military campaign against
00:07:53Iran.
00:07:57While the Trump administration continued escalate its rhetoric,
00:08:01different picture was emerging behind the scenes.
00:08:04Growing evidence suggested that Washington no longer possessed the military
00:08:08resources needed to sustain a prolonged war against Iran.
00:08:21Trump any
00:08:22No longer, fears not one even the young children. Now you see them come
00:08:26out into the streets, holding the Iranian flag in their hands and
00:08:30sending message to Trump. Well, Trump wanted the Iranian
00:08:34people to fear him and surrender. According to the words of our
00:08:38martered Imam, in Iran, if only one person remains,
00:08:42"the duty of that one person is to fight against
00:08:45depression.
00:08:49According
00:08:50to investigation by the intercept, conditions at
00:08:53muaffalti airbase in Jordan have exposed the weakness
00:08:57of repeated claims that Iran's military capabilities had been
00:09:00crippled. Instead, Iran's combination of
00:09:04loitering drones, maneuverable hypersonic ballistic missiles
00:09:08and advanced electronic counter measures has placed
00:09:11unprecedented. pressure on America's patriot and thought
00:09:15air defense systems.
00:09:19One US official admitted that interceptor missile stockps
00:09:23had been depleted so severely that commanders were now
00:09:26instructed to engage only missiles posing immediate threat
00:09:30to human life. Replenishing those
00:09:34inventories, the officials said could take as long as 3
00:09:37years.
00:10:12longer confined to the battlefield, it is reaching American
00:10:16households. As gasoline and diesel prices
00:10:20clime, inflation remains stubbornly high and billions of
00:10:23dollars continue. to flow into the war effort, public support for
00:10:27the conflict steadily eroded. A
00:10:31recent political poll found that only about one-third of Donald Trump's
00:10:35own mega supporters now believe the war is worth its
00:10:38economic cost, a sharp decline from just few months
00:10:42earlier. The
00:10:45economist reported that among modern U.S. military conflicts with
00:10:49comparable polling, the war against Iran has become the least
00:10:53popular.
00:11:03It seems as though the United States has failed to achieve its stated
00:11:07objectives at the beginning the war. What is the main reason for
00:11:11this failure?
00:11:15قرار بود جنگ خیلی سریع تموم بشه. آمریکا به نتیجه نرسید. The
00:11:19war was supposed to end very quickly, but America failed to achieve
00:11:23its objective as result. rift emerge within the
00:11:26United States, public demands on the American president
00:11:30intensified, and now we witness a sense of panic in
00:11:33Washington's decision making. They are currently
00:11:37grappling with the question of whether escalate tensions and the
00:11:41level of conflict or move toward
00:11:43negotiations. This crisis has therefore
00:11:47wisen both among American politicians and within the
00:11:51American society.
00:12:25or to create readiness among the public for entering a
00:12:29war, because it is the people who pay the taxes
00:12:33and any case the people must submit to the policies the
00:12:36country. for this reason, when the people suffer harm
00:12:40from federal decision and begin to reflect on why
00:12:44this happened, situations such as the vietnam war
00:12:47arise in which civil protests take place,
00:12:51and if America fails to manage this protests. Crisis
00:12:55ensues.
00:12:59For millions of Americans, this is no longer distant foreign
00:13:02war. It has become a question of fuel prices,
00:13:06household budgets and economic
00:13:09security. The political pressure on the White House
00:13:13is mounting just as tensions with Israel are becoming increasingly
00:13:17visible. Shortly before Iran's strike,
00:13:20Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Trump in
00:13:24Washington. describing their talks as one the best
00:13:27conversations they had held despite months of growing
00:13:31friction, yet only hours earlier, Israeli
00:13:34minister of military affairs, Israel cats had revealed that Israel
00:13:38wanted to attack Iran's energy infrastructure, but had been restrained by the
00:13:42Trump administration. The contrast is
00:13:46telling.
00:13:51Even as Washington projects confidence, it strategic
00:14:25have seen that nothing remains of it, today you see Trump
00:14:28threatening to strike Iran's infrastructure and few
00:14:32moments later ordering the attack to stop. It's clear that
00:14:36this is the seventh time Trump has repeated this lie without
00:14:40wanting to strike Iran's
00:14:41infrastructure.
00:14:46For decades American military interventions across West
00:14:50Asia have left behind countless innocent victims and
00:14:54immeasurable. human suffering, the war against Iran is no
00:14:58exception. Beyond the headlines and geopolitical
00:15:01calculations, are personal tragedies that rarely appear in
00:15:05the world's major news reports. This is one
00:15:08them. It
00:15:11was just after 10 o'clock in the evening. The Imam Hassan community
00:15:15gathering in the city of Ray had began empty.
00:15:19Eight-year-old Aven Amir Khashani, a little girl with brown hair, dimples
00:15:23and bright eyes was walking. in hand with her
00:15:25mother, without warning, the night sky turned yellow,
00:15:29deafining explosion from the nearby oil refinery shook the
00:15:33ground beneath them. "mum, mum, run, run!" Alvina screamed.
00:15:37Then came the dust, the smoke and the
00:15:40silence. The night before avine had
00:15:44written in her diary, dear leader, I want to become a martter like
00:15:48you, less than 24 hours later she died in her
00:15:52grandmother's arms. This is story of Oven's brief
00:15:55life told through the memories of her mother, Deida Rasek, who
00:15:59was herself seriously wounded in the attack. When the war
00:16:03began, Leila recalls I rushed to collect oven from school, two fighter
00:16:06jets. flew over head and she kept asking what was happening. I told
00:16:10her, I think America has attacked, but don't worry, you're safe.
00:16:14Nothing will happen to you. As Leila reaches the
00:16:18night the explosion, her voice begans to shake. That evening,
00:16:22after breaking our fast, we went shopping for New Year's clothes. We bought
00:16:26avine new pair of trousers. They were a little too
00:16:29long. I plan to shorten them later, yet never
00:16:33happened. Her husband dropped Laila Ovine and her younger brother
00:16:37at her. house together they walked to the nightly gathering,
00:16:41avin happy carried picture the martered
00:16:43leader. on their way home, everything changed, the
00:16:47refinery was struck, the flash was blinding, people scattered in
00:16:51every direction. oving kept shouting, mom, run, mom, run, i can
00:16:55still hear her voice. when the dust settled, i realized my hand had
00:16:58been hit by sharpno and my left leg had been severed below the
00:17:02ankle. her mother was holding ovine. she looked peaceful.
00:17:06there wasn't a scratch. on her face, we thought she had simply lost
00:17:09consciousness. a stranger picked her up and ran towards the
00:17:13hospital. kept screaming, don't take ovine away, but i
00:17:17couldn't move, i couldn't even hold my own daughter one last
00:17:21time. for 10 days, while lailla lay in hospital, everyone told
00:17:25herene was intensive care. only the day before the
00:17:28funeral did they tell her she had died, despite the pain, laila
00:17:32smiles when she remembers her daughter. she was like a bottle of
00:17:35perfume, whenever she enter her room, she filled it with
00:17:39warmth. everyone loved her. today, perhaps no one feels
00:17:42Ovine's absence more deeply than her six-year-old brother, Amir
00:17:46Ali, who was also injured that night. he didn't just lose
00:17:50sister, their mother says he lost his closest
00:17:52friend.
00:17:56having come under intense military pressure and suffered several
00:18:00setbacks in recent days, the United States is now trying to
00:18:04draw other countries into the conflict in attempt. to avoid what could
00:18:08become a historic, strategic
00:18:10defeat. The
00:18:14consequences the confrontation with Iran are now extending
00:18:18far beyond the battlefield. Critics argue that Trump
00:18:22has repeatedly prioritize Israel's security objectives
00:18:25over broader American and regional interests, but the
00:18:29consequences of that approach may now be reaching even Washington's
00:18:33closest allies. After.
00:18:37exhausting portions of its cruise missile inventories abroad and naval
00:18:41assets operating in the Indian Ocean, the United States is preparing
00:18:45to expand the use of B1 strategic bombers deployed from
00:18:48Raf Fairford in Britain, yet several
00:18:52European allies have refused to participate any expanded military
00:18:56operation until a lasting cease fire with Iran is
00:18:59achieved, a sign of growing and the western
00:19:03alliance. حالا مردی به نام ترامپ در ایالات متحده
00:19:07ایده.
00:19:39Washington's relationships with its Arab partners in the Persian Gulf have
00:19:43also come under unprecedented pressure. According
00:19:47to multiple reports, one factor behind Trump's decision to
00:19:51postpone another major strike on Iran was the repeated warnings of
00:19:55Arab leaders. Their countries home to key American
00:19:58military bases have become increasingly exposed to possible
00:20:02Iranian retaliation. Iran has stated
00:20:06as one of its object.
00:20:37force of corruption and permanent
00:20:39war.
00:20:43meanwile, the conflict has begun intersecting with another major
00:20:46global crisis. on July... 25th,
00:20:50Ukraine struck an Iranian commercial cargo vessel in the
00:20:54Caspian Sea killing a civilian
00:20:56sailor. Tehran condemned the attack as
00:21:00a violation of article 2 paragraph 4 the United Nations
00:21:03Charter and warned that such actions risked expanding
00:21:07the conflict into new theaters. The incident
00:21:11highlighted a growing concern. The boundaries between the world's
00:21:15major conflicts are becoming increasingly difficult to
00:21:18separate. Following Ukraine's attack
00:21:22on uh an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian
00:21:25Sea, Iran's Ministry of Foreign affairs has described the incident as
00:21:29a violation the UN charter. Now does Tehran
00:21:32regard this as primarily a bilateral dispute with Ukraine
00:21:36or as a part of a broader coalition against
00:21:39Iran and what legal and political measures are being
00:21:43pursued. من این رو داستان کیف و تهران نمی
00:21:47بینم. داستان تلآویم و تهران می دونم. I do not see Ukraine's
00:21:51attack on the Iranian ship as kiv tell on the story, but
00:21:55rather as a Tel Aviv tell on the story. It's part of a
00:21:58plan enabling the enemy to broaten the fronts and
00:22:02complicate decision making. Ultimately, this action
00:22:06places Iran, Russia and Europe a new decision making
00:22:10situation. Naturally, this is not soly about
00:22:13Kief. Naturally, one must act with patience.
00:22:17There is sufficient time and the Iranian nation will... punish any
00:22:20aggressor a proper
00:22:22moment. The
00:22:25timing the attack also attract attention.
00:22:29It came shortly before Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's
00:22:33plan meeting with President Trump in Washington where he was expected to
00:22:37see continued American support for Ukraine while emphasizing
00:22:41Russia's growing partnership with Iran.
00:22:45Reports have suggested that the United Kingdom may allow the
00:22:48United States to use.
00:23:20must understand that if the please trump they become part of his
00:23:24plan of aggression against Iran they will receive devastating
00:23:28blows from Iran and his allies in return. Iran is a
00:23:32freshly established power on the ground that alongside China and
00:23:36Russia will shape the new world order. Europe must
00:23:39realize that working with Iran will bring it far greater
00:23:43benefit than hostility toward the Iranian nation and standing
00:23:47beside an America that is now.
00:23:49struggling for his own
00:23:51survival. the
00:23:55greatest danger of war against Iran is not that Washington will
00:23:59suffer military defeat, it is the fact that it will become trapped in
00:24:03a cycle of attritional war, one from which is harder
00:24:06escape than to enter. this is the scenario that American
00:24:10strategic thinkers have long described as an endless
00:24:13war.
00:24:18the freeze forever war entered American political
00:24:21vocabulary after the United States became trapped in the prolonged
00:24:24conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those wars
00:24:28began with clear objectives but no clear path to
00:24:32conclusion. Many analysts warn that a confrontation
00:24:36with Iran carries the same danger. Over
00:24:39four decades Iran has developed a vast network of regional
00:24:43partnerships while building its own military capabilities in
00:24:47ballistic missiles, drones and asymmetric.
00:25:20capabilities at the
00:25:21appropriate
00:25:25time. Iran's geography makes the challenge even
00:25:27greater. any prolong conflict would threaten some
00:25:31the world's most important energy roots, including the Persian Gulf and the
00:25:35straight of hormos.
00:25:38It could disrupt global markets, place America's regional allies under
00:25:42severe pressure and create a chain
00:25:44reaction.
00:26:02Today we have heroic and courageous people who are unmatched
00:26:06in the world. Thank God we have succeeded in shattering the
00:26:10image these so-called superpowers. The people
00:26:14the world have come to understand that it's possible to
00:26:18stand against the great Satan for half a century and
00:26:21emerge from this struggle with honor, success and
00:26:24victory.
00:26:29Donald Trump has long criticized America's wars in Iraq and
00:26:32Afghanistan as costly failures. During his
00:26:362024 presidential campaign, he repeatedly promised that he
00:26:40would prevent the United States from becoming trapped in another endless
00:26:44conflict, yet today he faces the
00:26:47possibility of leading exactly the kind of war he once
00:26:51promised to
00:26:51avoid.
00:27:22war takes lives, but sometimes it takes something even
00:27:26more cruel, the chance to say goodbye. this is story of
00:27:30a boy who never came home for. following a bloody, unprovoked
00:27:34war waged by the US and Israel against
00:27:37Iran. On the morning of February 28th,
00:27:402026, seven-year-old Makon Nasiri left home for school just
00:27:44as he always did. It was his birthday, his mother helped him put on his blue
00:27:48jacket to keep him warm in the cool morning air. She was preparing
00:27:52Makan's favorite food for lunch. With a
00:27:56quiet excitement of a first grade boy, he walked into Shajara
00:27:59Tayiba elementary school, never knowing it would be... the last time anyone
00:28:03would see him at 11:15 a.m. tomahaw cruise missiles
00:28:07struck the school within seconds classrooms collapsed walls
00:28:11crumbled the sound of children reading and laughing were replaced
00:28:15by dust fire and silence rescue workers for days
00:28:19parents searched with their own hands one by one the victims were
00:28:23found families were finally able to bury their
00:28:26children but one child never came home
00:28:29mon nasiri his father searched through the rubble for in the very first
00:28:33afternoon, his uncle together with relatives spent 46
00:28:36days searching every corner the destroyed school and the
00:28:40surrounding fields. more than 100 DNA tests were carried
00:28:44out. Investigators searched for anything, a strand of hair, the
00:28:48smallest trace that could bring certainty to a grieving
00:28:51family. Nothing. The only things ever found were crumpled blue
00:28:55jacket and a single small trainer discovered far from the school
00:28:59after the blast had thrown it into a nearby orchard.
00:29:03Experts later concluded that the American missile had struck
00:29:06directly where Macon had been standing. The explosion was so
00:29:10devastating that no identifiable remains were left
00:29:13behind. For most parents, grief begins when they lay
00:29:17their child to rest. Macon's family was
00:29:21denied even that final act of love. They were forced to bury empty
00:29:25grave, a grave with nobody beneath it, only a name carved
00:29:28into stone. Even today, Malkan's mother returns to the ruins the...
00:29:32school, she sits quietly a piece of broken concrete,
00:29:36waiting in the same place where she last knew her son
00:29:39existed. alcan's body was never recovered. his
00:29:43story reminds us that the deepest wound of war is not only
00:29:47the lives it takes, sometimes the greatest cruelty is leaving
00:29:51mother with nowhere to hold her final
00:29:53goodbye.
00:30:13This our's top headlines: Iran's president says
00:30:16assassinations the murder leader the Islamic Revolution, military
00:30:20commanders and scientists prove the falsehood the aggressor's claims to
00:30:24human rights. A
00:30:27Palestinian media group warns that human rights violations
00:30:31against Palestine. and abductees and Israeli prisons have reached
00:30:35unprecedented levels
00:30:36and finally,
00:30:40the US state of New Mexico sues the department of justice over
00:30:43access to unredacted upsteam files, saying the department
00:30:47refuses to provide the
00:30:49documents.
