00:02:17Good evening, Iran says the United States has failed to achieve its
00:02:21objectives through military confrontation and is now relying economic
00:02:25pressure to force Tehran into submission an exclusive
00:02:28interview with Press TV. Secretary of Iban Supreme National
00:02:32Security Council, Major General Mosan Rezay has declared that the
00:02:36end
00:02:36of the confrontation will depend on Iran's demands being
00:02:39met. He has also placed the straight of hormos
00:02:42at the center
00:02:42of the crisis, arguing that Washington itself is responsible
00:02:46for the continuing instability surrounding this vital
00:02:50waterway. While the United
00:02:52of States maintains that maritime
00:02:54of traffic must remain open. Iban insists that the situation cannot be
00:02:57separated from the blockade of sports
00:03:00of and a broader military confrontation. Razay has gone further
00:03:04warning that the renewed American attack could trigger retaliation against
00:03:08major US linked assets, including data centers and
00:03:12artificial intelligence infrastructure in the region. So is
00:03:16Washington confronting a strategic stailmate and how much
00:03:20leverage does Tabon now possess? What does the
00:03:23of struggle over
00:03:25in of Hormus reveal about the balance of power and are both sides moving towards a
00:03:28of negotiated settlement or preparing? for another round of
00:03:31escalation. Welcome to spotlight. I am Bahman Ray.
00:03:34of Allow me to introduce my
00:03:35guests.
00:03:40Mr. Reserved, the academic researcher and author joining us from
00:03:43Mascat.
00:03:48of And Sayid Muaz Shah, international law expert and
00:03:52geopolitical analygos from Geneva. Very good to
00:03:56have you both gentlemen on this spotlight show. I'm going to start.
00:04:00conversation with you, Mr.
00:04:02of Radi, of the General Mon has said that the United States has suffered
00:04:06of repeated defeats and turned into economic warfare
00:04:10now, what strategic objective has
00:04:12of Washington failed to achieve and how should we measure the outcome of
00:04:16this
00:04:17of confrontation? of We have to look at the history of Iran. Iran has
00:04:21never been as
00:04:22of powerful is military in the last 150, maybe even 200
00:04:26years. The reason being is 100 years, the reason being is even
00:04:30though before
00:04:30of the of
00:04:31of revolution, during the more at that time modern technology for for
00:04:35the time they had sold to it by the United States, it was still
00:04:39reliant a foreign power to supply military capabilities and even
00:04:43possibly training for its military. now Iran is
00:04:47completely independent, there is this discussion about Iran getting support
00:04:51and assistance from China and Russia, but we can't forget that under the
00:04:55leadership of Imam
00:04:56of Khamaini and then Khamenei, Iran
00:05:02of of managed to develop a... native industrial complex for creating military equipment that serves
00:05:06the Iranian people a much
00:05:08of fraction
00:05:08of the price that the Arabs, the Saudis for example are paying to the... americans
00:05:12and to the Europeans, so Iran, so General
00:05:16Raz, when he speaks, he's speaking from a place where he had experienced
00:05:20the Iraq war with Iran didn't have support, all the military
00:05:24equipment, but now Iran has that capability and is projecting that
00:05:28power
00:05:29and has demonstrated it to the United States and the world that it can defend itself, and now
00:05:33United States is not the same power it was in 1990 when it the
00:05:37Persian gulf war when it attacked and took attacked Saddam
00:05:40to force Saddam. from out of Kuwait, the US
00:05:44military is completely weakened, it's hallowed out from the
00:05:48inside, its navy is not the same navy, and so
00:05:51Iran is able to not only stand toe
00:05:54to toe with the United States and all of its allies, but don't forget that it's not just United
00:05:58States, it's Israel, it's the Europeans, is these arab countries all supporting
00:06:02the the United States to attack Iran, but it's managed to defeat it
00:06:05militarily, and so then what other card do the United States
00:06:09have is this use of um? economic
00:06:12warfare and just final point, the economic warfare, we must not forget
00:06:16that have has been used against Iran since 1979, the Islamic
00:06:20revolution, and now it's its height of pressure that it's being
00:06:24placed on Iran, so the United States was not able to
00:06:27through political and internal divisions and
00:06:31riots try to dislodge the Iranian government and system, and it
00:06:35couldn't do it through military, now it's trying to put all of its might and
00:06:39pressure, however the issue is the Iran in the Iran
00:06:42of 10 15 years ago where the sanctions would have impacted Iran more, Iran now
00:06:46is more integrated with China and Russia and other countries, and the power
00:06:50the sanctions are also waining, because less people want to listen to the
00:06:54United States and follow its dictator. Right, sayid Shah,
00:06:58um, Washington continues to rely on sanctions and now
00:07:02this naval blockade of Iranian ports, does this shift suggest that
00:07:06military pressure has failed against iron or does
00:07:09Washington believe that economic warfare still? make some
00:07:13change to the strategic balance here? well, thank you
00:07:17for having me. i think that's a very important question. i think the element
00:07:21of lack of military operation, i think trump is trying to
00:07:24avoid some sort of mishap that may happen right before the
00:07:28mid-term election. so i think the military escalation is
00:07:32politically motivated to avoid simply because he doesn't
00:07:36want another disaster that's happened and there's been quite a few disasters militarily
00:07:39by the United States as we remember that uh... the the
00:07:43helicopters and the planes that were lost, so there the that's
00:07:47why I think they're trying to avoid military escalation, still trying to attempt to put
00:07:51pressure on Iran economically. now to say those economic
00:07:55sanctions or those economic measures are actually having impact
00:07:58um is questionable, yes they're having some impact, but is
00:08:02it enough to make a strategic change the Iranian resolve?
00:08:06absolutely not, and I think that's something that Iran has proven itself since the
00:08:10revolution of 1979, resilience the Iranian
00:08:13people, the Iranian state is much more stronger than
00:08:17just this type of confrontation that the United States is putting pressure on, so
00:08:21they're built for something like this, and I think that straight of
00:08:24hormos is illustration of this dilemma, if you if
00:08:28you actually look at it from economic perspective, what
00:08:32actually has happened is yes, maybe perhaps the flow is not
00:08:36entirely ended, but it's not entirely closed either,
00:08:39so one the questions is, but the element... the
00:08:42insurance cost, the cost to move that oil
00:08:46products out there has increased, which is putting domestic pressure
00:08:50and on the markets. now if we go back to the Islamabad
00:08:54mou, what's very important to remember is that it was agreed that
00:08:58Iran would first try to move on it, talking to the government of oman to set up some
00:09:02talking to the government of oman to set up some sort of corridor to allow transit of
00:09:05pass, so it's been working its part, whereas on the other side, the United
00:09:09States had agreed to release the economic pressure. which unfortunately
00:09:13has not happened, it has only double, so I mean, if we look
00:09:17at it independently, I understand there was a breakdown the Mou, but in
00:09:20principle, what was discussed is that these are going to be the initial
00:09:24steps, unfortunately the United States has not
00:09:29what the and what
00:09:29don't the has went back against it, and I future holds, but if there's going to be any reasonable deal, we have to
00:09:33go back to those worst ever exchange the mou to try to see if there's some sort
00:09:37of resolution that can come out
00:09:38of this. Right, Mr. Vaddy, um, the Americans keep boasting.
00:09:42about the effectiveness the sanctions and the blockade they're talking about
00:09:46trying even uh try to uh close terrestrial
00:09:49lands um land roads that Iran has with Pakistan and
00:09:53Turkey and and and that sort of stuff
00:09:55at the same time we keep hearing rumors time we keep hearing
00:09:59rumors and speculations about another round military
00:10:03aggression by the Americans the Israelis or both so what
00:10:07does that tell us about the effectiveness the economic warfare
00:10:10now? This is just demonstrates the United
00:10:14States kind of dead end that they are at
00:10:17that they are using narrative control to control
00:10:21the the price of oil and they're also trying to use
00:10:25psychological pressure on Iran and the neighbors of Iran
00:10:29to constantly threaten Iran with
00:10:32another start of rounds of kinetic
00:10:35action and war, and then this way they trying to demoralize the
00:10:39Iranian citizens and we can see the only country in the world in
00:10:42history that has had over 200 days every single day, if you
00:10:46remember at the beginning the war during the if you remember at the beginning the world during the bombings
00:10:50and come out and in protest of in support the
00:10:54every single night. ever since the every single night, ever since the
00:10:58war started on the 28th of February, so they trying to
00:11:01break down this morale that the Iranians have, the 30 million people that
00:11:05signed up to defend their country, and all these other things we've seen
00:11:09on social media that Iranian women are learning how to defend
00:11:13using weapons and men and so forth and so on, so they're trying to demoralize
00:11:17the population because they know the only way that the United States and its allies can
00:11:20defeat Iran is only when the Iranian people, the citizens, they
00:11:24then... decide that they're defeated, right? sayid marz, Iran
00:11:28is tied an end to the confrontation to demands including an end
00:11:32to the blockade and the release of Iranian frozen assets. what would
00:11:36a credible agreement need to contain, and which side
00:11:39currently faces greater pressure to
00:11:42compromise? yeah, no, that's a very good point.
00:11:45you know, I i think this shows the constructiveness of Iran still in this
00:11:49situation with the whole disaster that happened with Israel
00:11:53and the United mo. is that they mentioned is that
00:11:57they mentioned these seven points that you that you that you hinted at in your
00:12:01question, and I think that you hinted that in your question, and I think this with
00:12:04Katari intermediaries has a framework, and I
00:12:08think that's important that Tehran is still offering a framework to come
00:12:12within negotiation, and then at the same time still making its
00:12:16independent efforts through regional partners like Oman to reopen
00:12:20the straight, so it shows constructive ability, on the other side,
00:12:23unfortunately, we are not. seeing that, we
00:12:25are seeing rhetoric that still is symbolic of
00:12:29unquestionable attacking Iran, it's economic
00:12:32pressure and threats of military even attacks, but we know that that
00:12:36probably the likeliness of that happening before midterm is
00:12:40unlikely, so I think the framework is there, and those seven points
00:12:43that
00:12:44are that were mentioned gives us an idea that even though negotiations have
00:12:47collaps, there is some elements there for us to build
00:12:51this uh negotiated settlement on, and that's the only way this is going to end.
00:12:55"United States thinks that economic pressure on Iran is going to
00:12:59change the the dynamics and move towards a different political settlement,
00:13:03that is unlikely and very unlikely that's going to bring any success
00:13:06and if anything I think Trump is more likely
00:13:10to be benefiting from the sea sawing oil prices uh that
00:13:14unfortunately him and some of his uh close circle have been benefiting
00:13:18from the from the stock market and that evidence is also present so there's
00:13:22that questioning of that as well that perhaps" President Trump, maybe
00:13:26for other reasons
00:13:27is still keeping this conflict on teaters,
00:13:30because there's still the market to play, perhaps
00:13:34we'll see, but it does have negative domestic impact, global
00:13:38impact, which I think the elections are are
00:13:40are going to be paying for it if he doesn't come up with some sort of reasonable solution
00:13:44before that. Mr. Vidadi, general insis that the
00:13:48end the confrontation is in Iran's hands and that resistance
00:13:52will continue until Iran's demands are made. "what leverage
00:13:56does Tehran um possess at this moment and how realistic
00:14:00is this position given the cost to both
00:14:03sides? we know that Iran, one of its major
00:14:06leverages is the straight of homose, and how much it
00:14:10allows oil or any other commodity, resources,
00:14:14gas, so forth to leave that region. We all also know that Iran is
00:14:18capable of supporting the Ansarullah Yemani government, and if it
00:14:22does that, that would devastate the whole region on that
00:14:24side of..." uh west Asia, there's no way in the world the Saudis could be able to
00:14:28defend against a support uh from Iran for
00:14:32uh for the Yemanies on that side, which will close then the Babande, which
00:14:36will prevent even other commodities and shapes to
00:14:40transit uh through the uh Bobble Mandib, red sea and then
00:14:43through the uh the Suis canal which is
00:14:47a joining the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean, but
00:14:51then also the other issue is Iran can put great amount of
00:14:55pressure on the on the in
00:14:57on the in on Iraq on the basis or the
00:15:01groups that are in Iraq that have been set up to cause
00:15:05problems for on Syria and has warned Syria that if Syria goes towards
00:15:09close to attacking Lebanon or Hizbollah that Iran
00:15:13will attack Syria with missiles so Iran has this
00:15:17is the military capabilities of vast for Iran that Iran has never
00:15:21used and we know that because many the leadership in Iran state.
00:15:25that they only used 20 to 30% their military capability when
00:15:29they were fighting in the last round in Ramadan War, so
00:15:33that's one aspect of Iran, but then if Iran decides to completely cut
00:15:36any oil, coming from that from this region, then
00:15:39instead of that small amount that comes out now under Iranian
00:15:43control, that would devastate not just the US economy, but the world
00:15:47economy, so Iran has great number of leverage and pressure
00:15:50points that he can use, but it also wants to be smart and how it uses
00:15:54it, because it doesn't want to hurt and damage his allies such as
00:15:58China, such as Brazil, such as Pakistan or
00:16:02South Africa, so it's trying to play play a
00:16:05long-term smart. game of putting pressure on the United States
00:16:09and its allies, but less its own allies. right
00:16:12said, staying with the economic side of this, well of course we know that the
00:16:16confrontation has and and
00:16:18the stalemate after that has disrupted energy markets around the
00:16:22world, raised shipping costs and intensified economic
00:16:25uncertainty, is Washington underestimating the
00:16:29consequences for the global economy, and could the
00:16:32international cost the crisis ultimately strengthen Iran's
00:16:36position. in the negotiations, any potential
00:16:39ones? absolutely, absolutely, I think you really hit, hit it
00:16:43on the nose there with that point, militarily, as my colleague mentioned,
00:16:47Iran does have capabilities, we do know that, but I think the
00:16:50strongest start of what Iran has is the economic
00:16:54factor, the United States can impose enormous costs in Iran,
00:16:58definitely do these sanctions and they are felt, it's not like
00:17:01they aren't, but it cannot escape the economic
00:17:04consequences the instability in the Persian gulf with. which is of
00:17:07course started by its own actions with Israel when they
00:17:11started that campaign, the real test of economic power
00:17:15is not how much damage you can inflict on your adversary,
00:17:19but whether the pressure can produce a sustainable political
00:17:22settlement, that is what Iran has been able to do with the straight of hormos
00:17:26and that has been the achiles hill against the
00:17:30United States and so when we look at this, Iran does have that,
00:17:34so when general is made that statement, he's absolutely right, the... parts are
00:17:38in Iran's hands and the straight of horm is that key
00:17:41player, as you mentioned, it's causes,
00:17:44even even if some oil flow is happening, what people don't realize is that
00:17:47the insurance cost, the shipping cost that all get added on
00:17:51cost increase energy-wise across the globe, and it
00:17:55impacts not only the United States but Europe and the rest
00:17:58of Asia and the world, and so this is something that Iran was
00:18:02able to demonstrate that really surprised Israel and the United States
00:18:06and to be... honest, there isn't any real counter that
00:18:10they have other than negotiated settlement, which Iran has presented
00:18:14a very seven point program that I think goes
00:18:18back to reflect on the mou that was initially agreed, and something that
00:18:21they were negotiating with the United States prior to this conflict, but the
00:18:25problem is that as Iran has stated again and again, as they said
00:18:29in Switzerland as well, we want to see sincere partners who want to
00:18:33negotiate, but not someone who wants to negotiate on the...
00:18:38and
00:18:38then attack us in the back and that's unfortunately what's been going on, so
00:18:42there's that lack of trust that I think Iran is
00:18:45trying to build with partners like Pakistan who are assisting in the
00:18:49process and Qatar and Turkey, but the United States has to show
00:18:53that, and I think the leadership in the United States is also a little bit split,
00:18:57as we know JD vans has a little bit different stands than some the other people in
00:19:01the cabinet,
00:19:02and I think that's something that's problematic where Trump's maybe personal
00:19:05interests or the various parties internally are
00:19:08suggesting, to Israel some other alternative that may be
00:19:12more destructive for the United States, and so Trump has to ask
00:19:16himself, what's good for the United States, what's good for the mid-term
00:19:20elections, and negotiated solution is the only thing that he can go
00:19:24for, unfortunately he's going to have to backtrack some the stuff that he used to say
00:19:27about Obama's deal, but that's the reality that he's going to
00:19:31have to face, because Iran has shown the achiles hill is the straight of
00:19:35hormones. Right, Mr. "the Persian gulf states, you're based
00:19:39in one them, they depend on stable maritime trade and
00:19:43energy exports, yet the confrontation increasingly threatens
00:19:46regional security, how much continued pressure on Iran
00:19:50and instability around hermus affect the calculations the
00:19:54likes the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and other regional
00:19:58actors. Well, the the thing is with these
00:20:01countries that you mentioned in the Persian Golf, many them
00:20:05are really there to serve the best." interest the United States and its
00:20:09allies and even UK, these countries didn't exist, for example UAE, there
00:20:13was no UAE in 1970, it was a group
00:20:16of tribes that were brought together by the British and
00:20:20then Qatar were created Qatar and then Kuwait and UAE
00:20:24and these countries, so they don't really have that
00:20:28much say on what happens in the sense that um when the United
00:20:32States for example attacked Iran, they not really seek the
00:20:35consent or permission or... even consultation, even
00:20:39though all the bases for the United States were in these countries,
00:20:43and they were paying for these bases and these bases was there to defend them, these bases
00:20:47were not able to only that, but if these bases were not there... only that, but if these
00:20:51bases were not there, the Arab countries would not have been attacked,
00:20:54so if these arab countries had not enabled the United States to attack Iran
00:20:58use its locations and its facilities and it's
00:21:01you know jet fuels to attack Iran, Iran would have not attacked it, because you can
00:21:05see Oman was not attacked, why? because Oman didn't participate in enabling
00:21:09United States and Israel and its allies to attack Iran, so these countries
00:21:13unfortunately we would have thought logically, if you're thinking as
00:21:17an analyst that what has happened? demonstrates that
00:21:21it's best that they remove themselves from the conflict between Iran
00:21:24and the United States, ask United States to take their bases
00:21:27away, take all their military equipment away so they so they become
00:21:31safe, however what they've done is double down, we can see how
00:21:34Saudi Arabia is doubling down, attacking the
00:21:37Yemenis, the richest arab country is attacking the poorest arab
00:21:41country and killing civilians and we see the UAE had attacked
00:21:45Sudan and other countries and interfered in Yemen and in Syria and all
00:21:49these. had interfered in Syria and caused and we can see the end result
00:21:53in Syria and Libya, so I think they have become
00:21:56so embedded, sorry, so wedded to the United States
00:22:00and its elites that they find it hard to look at the logical
00:22:04outcome the progression their policies that will bring destruction to
00:22:08them, and it's unfortunate that it may be the the case may be
00:22:12that if they continue to support united states in his conflict against Yemen
00:22:15and his conflict against Yemen and Iran, it could be to the
00:22:19downfall. or any other way from
00:22:22inside right? sayid marz, general
00:22:26has warned that american assets like including
00:22:30intelligence infrastructure in the region, intelligence infrastructure in the region
00:22:34could be targeted if Washington launches another act of aggression against
00:22:38Iran, what does this warning reveal about Iran's
00:22:40deterrant strategy now?
00:22:44well, I think it's very interesting that you mentioned AI, as we know the
00:22:48horrendous incident that happened.
00:22:50that the minab school where the girls died and were murdered
00:22:54in the first days of the United States aggression and Israel's
00:22:58aggression was result of misuse of AI and
00:23:02so AI has actually become a component of war, it's not
00:23:05just data center just for business operations
00:23:09or some inocuous activity, it's being used in
00:23:12military, so I think this is a potential military target as
00:23:16well when we look at it from that analysis so... I think
00:23:20Iran targeting AI, there's verificable information that that, there's
00:23:24verifiable information that that data was being used in the war
00:23:28against Iran,
00:23:29may actually be even justifiable when we look at it from international law perspective or the laws of
00:23:33war, but as a threat, it is very serious threat, because the United States
00:23:37military is increasingly reliant on AI to make its decisions
00:23:41and this incident that happened in the early days the
00:23:44war, and this is something that I think should be telling from all of us
00:23:48and so... Iran has threatened that, I
00:23:52think this is within military reason, um, at
00:23:55the same time, it is something that's very serious economically as
00:23:59well, I mean this trade of moves is very important, I mean the trade of hormoves is
00:24:03very important for the oil trade, AI and data centers are very important for modern
00:24:07day business, cost of data and data
00:24:10storage and security and data storage and securing
00:24:14that a place and so that can only build
00:24:17more, so that can only build. more further economic pressure
00:24:21in for sure um and I'm pretty sure that you know that
00:24:25the data that's being used at these data centers are not necessarily like I said for
00:24:29commercial purposes only but they might be mixed in hence they might fall
00:24:33victim and therefore the cost of running business may go up which will have a
00:24:37broader impact across so definitely that's it it
00:24:41will have only increased dramatic impact even this the threat of
00:24:45it uh which of course can be very serious but
00:24:47I like I said at the end one the most important things we need to realize united states
00:24:51economic pressure, if it's not pushing towards a political
00:24:55settlement it wants, it's a failure, and that is exactly what's going to
00:24:59happen, but Iran's economic pressure through the strategy the straight of
00:25:03hormos is having a global impact, and that shows
00:25:06you the weapons of economic war that Iran has the bigger
00:25:10weapon, it may not have the bigger military, but economically it has
00:25:14the bigger weapon. right, and Mr. Vedadi, final
00:25:17question, please answer briefly. the end with the central question
00:25:21raised by general reiz's interview, what would a sustainable end to
00:25:25this confrontation look like, would it require the lifting of sanctions
00:25:29and the blockade, new security arrangement for the straight of hormos
00:25:33and guarantees against renewed aggression or are the two
00:25:36sides you think still too far apart for a durable
00:25:40settlement? 100%, i think quickly
00:25:43the arrangement or new security arrangement
00:25:47and the safety and security of Iran was paramount. to any end
00:25:51result and also that the United States removes itself from the
00:25:54region so that it's
00:25:56not a threat not just to Iran but to many the other countries in the region
00:26:00and then also that United states stops interfering in Iranian
00:26:04affairs and stops blocking Iranian growth, they don't need to
00:26:07necessarily remove sanctions, they do
00:26:10need to give back Iranian assets, however Iran without
00:26:14the with the sanction has demonstrated it can develop and
00:26:17grow, so I don't think Iran needs the sanctions removed because many people are not abiding
00:26:21by these sanctions anymore, right,
00:26:24Mr. say, it was indeed a pleasure to
00:26:28have you on this spotlight, and that brings us to the end of this edition, the
00:26:32truth will... was come out, thank you so much
00:26:33for staying with us for this spotlight, I am Bahman
00:26:36Roy.
00:26:49In Astanie ashrafiya, a home that should have been a place of
00:26:53safety became a scene of death and destruction. on Tuesday
00:26:57morning, June 24th, an Israely missile strike hit
00:27:01residential homes in the... city, four homes were completely
00:27:04destroyed and more than 10 others were damaged, 15
00:27:08civilians were killed, among them was a child,
00:27:11sayede Mahiya Seddiqi Saber, second grade student at SMAT
00:27:15Elementary School. Mahya was a bright, kind and
00:27:19cheerful little girl. She used to walk into the school with smile on her
00:27:23face, now the only things left of her at school is a photograph a
00:27:26frame. The principal of Esmat Elementary School
00:27:30still struggles to talk about her. She says Maho was so sweet that she would often
00:27:34pick her up and hold her in her arms, calling her affectionately, sweet
00:27:38little girl, how are you? but mahi's family had already suffered another
00:27:42loss. her brother had been killed in an Israeli attack on
00:27:46their home in Tehran. after his death, the family left Tehran and
00:27:49went to anih ashrafia hoping to find a safer place,
00:27:53but the war followed them there. Mahya, her father,
00:27:57her mother and her older sister were killed in the missile strike
00:28:01along with other members. their extended family. The school
00:28:04principal remembers calling Mahya's mother after her son was
00:28:08killed. She says the mother's voice was calm and patient. She had
00:28:12told her, we are fine, thank god, but they killed my son. Now
00:28:15that the mother is buried beside her children, but Maahya's absence
00:28:19is still felt at her school. A few days after the attack a memorial
00:28:23ceremony was held at Esmat Elementary School. Her classmates,
00:28:27teachers and one person was missing. One
00:28:30person was missing. Her close friend
00:28:34Elena spoke through tears. She said she missed Maho and wished she could
00:28:38still be beside them. She wanted Mahya to stay with them and
00:28:42grow up with them, but Mahya will never enter the third grade. The new
00:28:46school year is just around the corner. Soon the school bell will
00:28:49ring again, children will return to their classrooms, new books
00:28:53will be opened and third grade will begin,
00:28:56but this time there will be one less student. Madhya was supposed to be
00:29:00there, but all that remains in her classroom. room is empty seat and the
00:29:04memory of a little girl who was supposed to grow up,
00:29:07study
00:29:10and.
