00:00:05The early hours of July
00:00:07of 29th shattered the regions uneasy
00:00:09a calm. Ballistic missiles launched by the
00:00:13aerospace force of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard core
00:00:17streaked across the night sky toward the US Air Force Space and
00:00:21Central Command
00:00:22in headquarters in Jordan. At the same time the
00:00:26IRGC Navy announced that it had seized three non-comple.
00:00:30giant oil tankers in the straight of hormos, tightening Iran's
00:00:33grip over one
00:00:35of the world's most strategic
00:00:36waterways. The coordinated
00:00:40operations student decision makers in both Washington and Tel
00:00:43Aviv. US President Donald Trump admitted
00:00:47that Iran's attack had come as a surprise and immediately
00:00:51threatened a massive assault on Iranian
00:00:53infrastructure. Yet, as the region
00:00:57braced for another major escalation, Trump... Brockly
00:01:00reversed course. Just days later, he
00:01:04announced that the planned operation had been cancelled, claiming that the
00:01:08outlines of a possible agreement
00:01:10in had
00:01:10emerged.
00:01:16of
00:01:34a
00:01:42Donald Trump declared that the United States was locked and loaded and
00:01:45prepared to unleash
00:01:47of military power
00:01:48of not seen since World War II, but said the attack had been
00:01:51suspended because Iran and several regional states had asked
00:01:55Washington to wait while
00:01:57of negotiations continued.
00:02:05Tehran flatly rejected that account.
00:02:09Iranian officials dismissed Trump's statement as another lie,
00:02:13insisting that the country's armed forces remain on full alert and
00:02:17prepared for any
00:02:18scenario.
00:02:23General
00:02:24a Mohammad Ismail Kosari, a former Deputy Chief
00:02:27of the IRGC Sarallah headquarters.
00:02:30of
00:02:59of of as until today, they continue with shameless
00:03:03audacity to speak of human rights, yet the crimes they have
00:03:07committed are unprecedented in
00:03:09history.
00:03:15so what was really happening? was
00:03:18of Washington stepping back because diplomacy had suddenly prevailed, or
00:03:22because the military
00:03:23of balance was changing in ways it could no longer
00:03:25ignore.
00:03:31"the war that Donald Trump launched against Iran, the one he once
00:03:35believed would only
00:03:36in last for few weeks, has now entered its sixth month.
00:03:40casualties continue to mount, weapon stock calls are being
00:03:43depleted and gasoline prices have once again surged.
00:03:47Trump is eager to bring the conflict to an end, but it is becoming
00:03:50increasingly clear that his wishes alone are
00:03:54of no longer enough to determine whether the war ends or
00:03:57continues."
00:04:02Former Israeli military intelligence official Dennis Setrunovits
00:04:06offered a revealing assessment. Iran, he
00:04:10argued, is no longer reacting to events set in motion by
00:04:13Washington. It is increasingly dictating the pace,
00:04:17timing and direction
00:04:18of the
00:04:20of confrontation.
00:04:24General Kosari told us that Trump has already become irrelevant and
00:04:28that his remarks caring.
00:04:30a
00:04:40in
00:04:48a
00:04:55of
00:05:00is America still struggling there, I tell you that all
00:05:04these lies will eventually produce
00:05:06a reactions against Trump
00:05:08himself.
00:05:11Diplomatic. efforts continued behind the
00:05:13scenes. Reuters reported that Oman had
00:05:17proposed replacing Iran's exclusive role in securing the straight of
00:05:21hormos with regional security arrangement, involving Persian
00:05:25Gulf states and funded through voluntary user
00:05:27contributions. A day later, Reuters reported that
00:05:31Tehran had rejected the proposal outright, concluding that it
00:05:35offered no realistic path
00:05:37forward. Mr. Ehsan,
00:05:40Iqbal Said and
00:06:12not territorial integrity, naturally, what we have
00:06:16secured through the self-sacrifice of our youth and the
00:06:19resistance of our people will not accept any plan that
00:06:23seeks to eliminate our independent will and the
00:06:27exercise of our sovereignty the
00:06:29straight.
00:06:32meanwhile, many observers assumed that the daily exchanges had
00:06:36quietly evolved into undeclared cease fire that Iran would
00:06:40avoid striking American forces, unless directly
00:06:43attacked, the battlefield told different
00:06:47story: Iran was no longer fighting according
00:06:51to the old rules. Iran's uh recent surprise
00:06:54attacks against US military bases in Jordan could uh signal
00:06:58a major shift in its military strategy, meaning that
00:07:02it is now prepared uh to carry out preemptive strikes to
00:07:06deter Washington. Now what does this shift actually entil
00:07:10and how does it differ from
00:07:12fundamentally
00:07:18based a plan
00:07:22prepared by the armed forces. According to that plan, in the
00:07:26first stage we maintain a defensive posture and never
00:07:29initiate war. At the same time, however, in certain
00:07:33periods we adopt an offensive posture. As you can see in the
00:07:37recent developments in the straight of hormoos, Iran has introduced
00:07:41changes to... multary doctrine. This was only
00:07:45one aspect of our strategy, which shifted to an
00:07:49offensive mode, so that the enemy would understand it cannot
00:07:52simply do whatever it wishes, while we remain subordinate to
00:07:56it. During the
00:08:0012-day war, the United States and Israel seized the
00:08:03initiative, leaving Tehran to respond. This
00:08:07time Iran chose to strike first.
00:08:10Preemptive operations. strategic surprise and attacks on high
00:08:14value military targets has become central to its evolving
00:08:18doctrine. as major general ali
00:08:21abdullahi, commander of Iran's khatam-anbiya's central
00:08:24headquarters declared, the Americans and their mercenaries
00:08:28have learned that their coffins are now part their military equipment in the
00:08:32region. As our late leader always said, the air of
00:08:36hit and run is
00:08:37over.
00:09:13"my advise is that our enemies, whether the great satan,
00:09:16America, or the cancerous tumor, Israel, should listen to
00:09:20the words of our commanders. Martter Sulaimani addressed Iran's enemies
00:09:24and said, you start the war, but its end is in
00:09:28our hands. The same holds true today. Last week,
00:09:32when I visited Iran's islands, I saw that our forces
00:09:36are waiting for the day when America commits this mistake and
00:09:39launches a ground operation against us. on that day we
00:09:43will put these American captives on
00:09:46display.
00:09:49After six months of war under Donald Trump, Iran can claim one
00:09:53significant advantage: Washington is increasingly being forced
00:09:57to fight on Tehran's terms. Despite Trump's administration's
00:10:01increasingly aggressive rhetoric, growing evidence suggests that the
00:10:05United States lacks the resources needed to sustain a
00:10:09large-scale military campaign against Iran.
00:10:15While the Trump administration continued escalate its rhetoric,
00:10:19different picture was emerging behind the scenes.
00:10:22Growing evidence suggested that Washington
00:10:55According to the words of our martered imam, in Iran, if only
00:10:58one person remains, the duty of that one person is
00:11:02to fight against
00:11:03depression.
00:11:07According to investigation by the intercept, conditions
00:11:10at airbase in Jordan have exposed the
00:11:14weakness of repeated claims that Iran's military
00:11:17capabilities had been crippled. Instead,
00:11:21Iran's combination of loitering drones, maneuverable hyperson.
00:11:25ballistic missiles and advanced electronic counter measures has
00:11:29placed unprecedented pressure on America's patriot and
00:11:32thought air defense
00:11:34systems. One US
00:11:37official admitted that interceptor missile stock pows had been
00:11:41depleted so severely that commanders were now instructed to
00:11:45engage only missiles posing immediate threat to human
00:11:48life. Replenishing those
00:11:51inventories
00:11:52the officials said could take as long as
00:12:25and turned it
00:12:26back, the
00:12:29strain is no longer confined to the battlefield, it is reaching
00:12:33American households. as gasoline and
00:12:37diesel prices climb, inflation remains stubbornly high
00:12:41and billions of dollars continue to flow into the war effort, public
00:12:45support for the conflict steadily
00:12:47eroded. recent political poll found
00:12:51that only about one third of Donald Trump's own mega supporters
00:12:55now believe the war is worth its economic cost, a sharp decline
00:12:59from just few months
00:13:00earlier. the
00:13:03economist reported that among modern US military conflicts with
00:13:07comparable polling, the war against Iran has become the least
00:13:11popular.
00:13:15meanwhile, we had at our studio Mr. Hamed Naserian, an expert
00:13:19in American Affairs. It seems as though the United
00:13:23States has failed to achieve its uh...
00:13:55grappling with the question of weather escalate tensions and the
00:13:59level of conflict or move toward
00:14:01negotiations. this crisis has therefore a
00:14:05rison both among American politicians and within the
00:14:08American
00:14:09society.
00:14:13with congressional mid-term elections approaching, those numbers carry
00:14:17growing political significance. if the conflict
00:14:20continues, the greatest price may not be paid on the battlefield, but at
00:14:24the...
00:14:55For this reason, when the people suffer harm from federal
00:14:59decision and begin to reflect on why this happen, situations
00:15:03such as the Vietnam war arise in which civil
00:15:07protests take place, and if America fails to manage
00:15:11these protests, crisis
00:15:13ensues.
00:15:17For millions of Americans, this is no longer a distant foreign
00:15:20war. It has become a question of fuel prices,
00:15:24how... budgets and economic
00:15:27security. The political pressure on the White House
00:15:30is mounting just as tensions with Israel are becoming increasingly
00:15:34visible. Shortly before. Before Iran's strike,
00:15:38Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Trump in
00:15:42Washington, describing their talks as one the best
00:15:45conversations they had held despite months of growing
00:15:48friction. Yet only hours earlier, Israeli
00:15:52Minister of Military Affairs, Israel Cats had revealed that Israel
00:15:56wanted to attack Iran's energy infrastructure, but had been restrained by
00:16:00the Trump administration. The contrast is
00:16:03telling.
00:16:38They are mistaken, this America has shown its power
00:16:41and we have seen that nothing remains of it. Today you
00:16:45see Trump threatening to strike Iran's
00:16:48infrastructure and few moments later ordering the attack
00:16:52to stop. It's clear that this is the seventh time
00:16:56Trump has repeated this lie without wanting to strike Iran's
00:16:59infrastructure.
00:17:04For decades American military interventions. cross-west Asia
00:17:08have left behind countless innocent victims and
00:17:12immeasurable human suffering. The war against Iran is no
00:17:15exception. Beyond the headlines and geopolitical
00:17:19calculations are personal tragedies that rarely appear in
00:17:23the world's major news reports. This is one
00:17:25them. It
00:17:29was just after 10 o'clock in the evening. The Imam Hassan community
00:17:33gathering in the city of Ray had becoon to empty. A.
00:17:37old avian Amir Khashani, a little girl with brown hair, dimples and bright
00:17:41eyes, was walking hand in hand with her mother.
00:17:45Without warning, the night sky turned yellow, deafining explosion from the
00:17:49nearby oil refinery shook the ground beneath them. Mom,
00:17:52mum, run, run, avina screamed, then came the
00:17:56dust, the smoke and the
00:17:58silence. Then I before avine had
00:18:02written in her diary, dear leader, I want to become a martter like
00:18:06you, let 2. four hours later she died in her
00:18:10grandmother's arms. this is story of Oven's brief life
00:18:14told through the memories of her mother Leila Rasek who was herself
00:18:18seriously wounded in the attack. when the war began laila
00:18:21recalls I rushed to collect oven from school two fighter jets flew over
00:18:25head and she kept asking what was happening. I told her I think America has
00:18:29attacked but don't worry you're safe. Nothing will
00:18:33happen to you. As Laila reaches the night the
00:18:37explosion. and her voice begans to shake, that evening, after breaking
00:18:41our fast, we went shopping for New Year's clothes, we bought avine new
00:18:44pair of trousers, they were a little too long, I plan to
00:18:48shorten them later, yet never happened, her husband
00:18:52dropped Layala ovin and her younger brother at her mother's house,
00:18:56together they walked to the nightly gathering, in happly
00:18:59carried picture the martered leader, on their way
00:19:03home, everything changed, the refinery was struck, the flash was...
00:19:07blinding, people scattered in every direction. Alvin kept shouting, mom,
00:19:11run, mom, run. I can still hear her voice. When the dust settled,
00:19:15I realized my hand had been hit by Sharpnow and my left leg had been
00:19:19severed below the ankle. Her mother was holding ovine. She
00:19:23looked peaceful. There wasn't a scratch on her face. We thought she had
00:19:27simply lost consciousness. A stranger picked her up and ran
00:19:30towards the hospital. I kept screaming, "don't
00:19:33take ovin away," but I couldn't move, I couldn't even hold my. own
00:19:37daughter one last time. For 10 days, while Leila lay in
00:19:41hospital, everyone told her Ovine was intensive
00:19:44care. Only the day before the funeral did they tell her
00:19:48she had died. Despite the pain. Laila smiles when she remembers her
00:19:51daughter. She was like a bottle of perfume. Whenever she entered
00:19:55room, she filled it with warmth. Everyone loved her.
00:19:58Today, perhaps no one feels Ovine's absence more deeply than her
00:20:02six-year-old brother, Amir Ali, who was also injured that night. He
00:20:06didn't just... lose sister, their mother says he lost his closest
00:20:10friend.
00:20:14Having come under intense military pressure and suffered several
00:20:18setbacks in recent days, the United States is now trying to
00:20:22draw other countries into the conflict in attempt to avoid what could
00:20:26become a historic, strategic
00:20:28defeat. The
00:20:32consequences the confrontation with Iran are now extending
00:20:36far beyond the battlefield. critics argue that Trump
00:20:40has repeatedly prioritized Israel's security objectives over
00:20:44broader American and regional interests, but the
00:20:47consequences of that approach may now be reaching even Washington's
00:20:51closest allies. After
00:20:55exhausting portions of its cruise missile inventories abroad and naval
00:20:59assets operating in the Indian Ocean, the United States is preparing
00:21:03to expand the use of B1 strategic bombers deployed from
00:21:06Raf Fairford in Britain. Yet, several
00:21:10European allies have refused to participate any expanded military
00:21:14operation until a lasting seasfire with Iran is
00:21:17achieved, a sign of growing unease.
00:21:50let alone confronts rising lion named Iran in a straight of
00:21:54hermus.
00:21:57Washington's relationships with its Arab partners in the Persian Gulf have
00:22:01also come under unprecedented pressure. According
00:22:05to multiple reports, one factor behind Trump's decision to
00:22:09postpone another major strike on Iran was the repeated warnings of
00:22:12Arab leaders. Their countries home to key American
00:22:16military bases have become increasingly exposed to... possible
00:22:20Iranian retaliation. Iran has stated
00:22:24as one of its objectives, the withdraw of US forces from the
00:22:28region. To what degree do you think that this has become
00:22:32closer to reality? And what steps or measures should be
00:22:35taken
00:22:36further.
00:22:44Expelled Americans from the region and already many their
00:22:47bases have been destroyed. design regime
00:22:51must also be eliminated because this criminal regime is the
00:22:55source of corruption and permanent
00:22:57war.
00:23:01meanwhile, the conflict has begun intersecting with another major global
00:23:05crisis. on July 25th, Ukraine
00:23:09struck an Iranian commercial cargo vessel in the Caspian Sea
00:23:12killing a civilian sailor.
00:23:16Tehran condemned the attack as a violation of article 2. paragraph
00:23:20four the United Nations Charter and warn that such
00:23:23actions risked expanding the conflict into new
00:23:27theaters. The incident highlighted a growing
00:23:30concern. The boundaries between the world's major conflicts are
00:23:34becoming increasingly difficult to separate.
00:23:38Following Ukraine's attack on an Iranian commercial
00:23:42vessel in the Caspian Sea, uh Iran's Ministry of Foreign affairs
00:23:46has described the incident as a violation the UN charter. Now.
00:24:20and complicate decision making, ultimately, this action
00:24:24places Iran, Russia, and Europe a new decision making
00:24:27situation. Naturally, this is not soly about
00:24:31Kief. Naturally, one must act with nations. There
00:24:35is sufficient time, and the Iranian nation will punish any
00:24:38aggressor a proper
00:24:40moment. The timing
00:24:44the attack also attract attention. It
00:24:48came shortly before Ukrainian. President Vladimir Zelensky's planned
00:24:51meeting with President Trump in Washington where he was expected to see
00:24:55continued American support for Ukraine while emphasizing Russia's
00:24:59growing partnership with Iran. Reports have
00:25:03suggested that the United Kingdom may allow the United States
00:25:07to use its military bases uh for attacking Iran.
00:25:11Now by doing so would that make the United
00:25:14Kingdom uh accomplice in the Israeli
00:25:18US Aggression against Iran.
00:26:02hostility toward the Iranian nation and standing beside an
00:26:06America that is now struggling for its own
00:26:09survival. the
00:26:13greatest danger of war against Iran is not that Washington will
00:26:17suffer military defeat. It is the fact that it will become trapped in
00:26:21a cycle of attritional war, one from which is harder
00:26:24escape than to enter. This is the scenario that American
00:26:28strategic thinkers have long described as an endless
00:26:31war.
00:26:35"the phrase forever war entered the American political
00:26:38vocabulary after the United States became trapped in the prolonged
00:26:42conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those wars
00:26:46began with clear objectives, but
00:26:48no clear path to conclusion. Many analysts warn
00:26:52that a confrontation with Iran carries the same
00:26:55danger. Over four decades, Iran has developed
00:26:59a vast network of regional partnerships while..."
00:27:32Highly positive results have been achieved, god willing, we
00:27:36will unviel these capabilities at the appropriate
00:27:39time. Iran's
00:27:43geography makes the challenge even greater, any
00:27:47prolong conflict would threaten some the world's most important energy
00:27:51roots, including the Persian Gulf and the straight of
00:27:54hormos. It could disrupt global markets,
00:27:57place America's regional allies under severe pressure and create a
00:28:01chin react.
00:28:32world have come to understand that it's possible to stand
00:28:36against the great satan for half a century and emerge
00:28:40from this struggle with honor, success and
00:28:42victory.
00:28:46Donald Trump has long criticize America's wars in Iraq and
00:28:50Afghanistan as costly failures. During
00:28:54his 2024 presidential campaign, he repeatedly promised that he
00:28:58would prevent the United States from becoming trapped in another endless
00:29:01conflict. yet today he faces the
00:29:05possibility of leading exactly the kind of war he once
00:29:09promised to
00:29:09avoid.
00:30:15This hour is top headlines: the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps says
00:30:19the imposed wars on Iran have revealed the strategic deadlock the
00:30:22US and Israel, adding that the world media admits Trump's
00:30:26failure. The Yemani armed forces say they have carried out
00:30:30strikes on Saudi back troops in the... mara province of
00:30:33Yemen
00:30:39and finally Spain has announced border controls against Italy
00:30:43a tit for tap move as row
00:30:44a over Sayuda migrant influx
00:30:47intensifies.
