1
00:00:00,120 –> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Foreign Minister of Iran, Abbess Arachi, has said that Iranian

2
00:00:04,080 –> 00:00:07,960
soldiers are currently waiting for US ground troops to invade Iran,

3
00:00:08,439 –> 00:00:12,839
saying the Iranians are prepared for any scenario. According to Arachi,

4
00:00:13,080 –> 00:00:16,160
Iran is confident that its soldiers can confront U S

5
00:00:16,199 –> 00:00:19,760
ground troops and if the United States actually decided to

6
00:00:19,800 –> 00:00:23,079
begin ground troops invasion in Iran, it will be a

7
00:00:23,120 –> 00:00:26,679
disaster for the US because we know we can handle them,

8
00:00:26,839 –> 00:00:30,519
adding Russia and China are supporting Iran in the ongoing

9
00:00:30,559 –> 00:00:34,119
war with the US and Israel politically and otherwise. And

10
00:00:34,159 –> 00:00:37,119
shortly after the Iran Foreign Minister made this known in

11
00:00:37,159 –> 00:00:41,439
an exclusive interview with NBC News Media on Thursday, the

12
00:00:41,560 –> 00:00:44,320

15
00:00:51,920 –> 00:00:54,880
level briefing and next plan of action discussed with the

16
00:00:54,920 –> 00:01:00,280
SENTAM commander, Admiral Bradcooper. This local media in Iran reported

17
00:01:00,439 –> 00:01:04,680
on Friday morning that the spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary

18
00:01:04,719 –> 00:01:10,120
Guards Corps IRGC, Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naini says the

19
00:01:10,159 –> 00:01:13,000
Iranian armed forces are ready for a long war to

20
00:01:13,040 –> 00:01:17,040
punish the aggressor. The war, which began last week Saturday,

21
00:01:17,439 –> 00:01:19,840
has led to the deaths of over one thousand, three

22
00:01:19,920 –> 00:01:23,159
hundred people in Iran, twelve in Israel, and six U

23
00:01:23,200 –> 00:01:27,400

00:01:59,359 –> 00:02:03,719
Emergency Fund YUNISEEV confirmed that of the more than one thousand,

33
00:02:03,840 –> 00:02:07,359

00:02:23,680 –> 00:02:26,400
a death toll of at least one thousand, two hundred

39
00:02:26,400 –> 00:02:29,639
and thirty as of March fifth. On the side of

40
00:02:29,759 –> 00:02:35,960
Israel Magen David Adam MDA, Israel’s National Emergency Medical Service

41
00:02:36,400 –> 00:02:40,360
confirmed nine fatalities, specifically from a direct ballistic missile hit

42
00:02:40,400 –> 00:02:43,319

43
00:02:44,120 –> 00:02:47,879
The Israeli police, in an official police report, identified nine

44
00:02:47,960 –> 00:02:50,680
killed in Bade Schemesh and have noted that eleven people

45
00:02:50,800 –> 00:02:55,840
remain missing as search and rescue operations continued. Ichilov Hospital

46
00:02:55,879 –> 00:02:58,520
in Tel Aviv confirmed the death of a one hundred

47
00:02:58,599 –> 00:03:00,599
and two year old man who did died from a

48
00:03:00,639 –> 00:03:03,719
fall while attempting to reach a shelter during a siren.

49
00:03:04,439 –> 00:03:08,000
Although ten deaths were confirmed by the Israeli authorities as

50
00:03:08,000 –> 00:03:12,000
stated above, but some local and international media put the

51
00:03:12,039 –> 00:03:15,599
total deaths in Israel a twelve. According to the U

52
00:03:15,719 –> 00:03:19,719
S Department of War and Centcom, six American service members

53
00:03:19,800 –> 00:03:22,840
have been killed so far, with eighteen other soldiers wounded.

54
00:03:23,599 –> 00:03:28,439

Warrant Officer three c W three Robert Mbarsen, aged fifty four.

59
00:03:48,479 –> 00:03:50,879
All six soldiers were said to be assigned to the

60
00:03:50,919 –> 00:03:54,560
one hundred and third Sustainment Command based in Des Moines, Iowa,

61
00:03:54,960 –> 00:03:58,120
and died following an Iranian drone attack on a tactical

62
00:03:58,159 –> 00:04:03,039
operation center at Portschweimer, Kuwait, on March first, twenty twenty six.

63
00:04:04,000 –> 00:04:07,280
U s Secretary of War Pete Hesath stated that the

64
00:04:07,319 –> 00:04:11,400
casualties primarily occurred when a projectile breached air defenses and

65
00:04:11,439 –> 00:04:15,479
struck a tactical operations center at a military base in Kuwait.

66
00:04:16,240 –> 00:04:21,920
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps IRGC has provided much higher figures,

67
00:04:22,240 –> 00:04:28,319
which US officials have dismissed as propaganda. IRGC spokesperson Brigadier

68
00:04:28,399 –> 00:04:31,879
General Ali Muhammad Neoni claimed that six hundred and fifty

69
00:04:32,600 –> 00:04:35,920
American soldiers were killed or wounded during the first two

70
00:04:36,000 –> 00:04:39,759
days of the conflict. Nierni alleged that one hundred and

71
00:04:39,879 –> 00:04:43,319
sixty of these casualties resulted from strikes on the U. S.

72
00:04:43,439 –> 00:04:48,000
Navy’s fifth Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain. Iran also claimed to

73
00:04:48,040 –> 00:04:51,959
have struck the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier with four

74
00:04:52,000 –> 00:04:56,399
crew’s missiles, saying the warship was forced to flee towards

75
00:04:56,399 –> 00:05:00,360
the Indian Ocean. He warned on state TV that the

76
00:05:00,439 –> 00:05:02,879
gates of hell will open more and more for the

77
00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:08,000
U S and Israel, promising continuous funitive attacks. He announced

78
00:05:08,040 –> 00:05:11,480
that Iran is prepared for a prolonged war and will

79
00:05:11,519 –> 00:05:15,720
soon deploy advanced strategic weaponry and innovations that have not

80
00:05:15,839 –> 00:05:18,920
yet been used on a large scale. The U S.

81
00:05:18,920 –> 00:05:22,639
Sentum in numbers of posts stated that the Iranian regime

82
00:05:22,759 –> 00:05:26,399
is using mobile launchers to indiscriminately fire missiles in an

83
00:05:26,399 –> 00:05:30,519
attempt to inflict maximum harm across the region. U S

84
00:05:30,560 –> 00:05:34,319
forces are hunting these threads down and without apology or hesitation,

85
00:05:34,800 –> 00:05:38,720
we are taking them out. Iran’s I RGC claims to

86
00:05:38,759 –> 00:05:43,279
have struck U S. S Abraham Lincoln with ballistic missiles. Lie.

87
00:05:43,639 –> 00:05:47,240
The Lincoln was not hit. The missiles launch didn’t even

88
00:05:47,319 –> 00:05:50,920
come close. The Lincoln continues to launch air craft in

89
00:05:51,000 –> 00:05:54,680
support of Sentkam’s relentless campaign to defend the American people

90
00:05:54,720 –> 00:05:59,480
by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime. The Iranian regimes

91
00:05:59,560 –> 00:06:02,759
false men messaging machine continues to falsely claim that it

92
00:06:02,800 –> 00:06:06,639
has sunk a US aircraft carrier. The only carrier that

93
00:06:06,720 –> 00:06:10,360
has been here is the Shahid Bahari, an Iranian drone carrier.

94
00:06:11,199 –> 00:06:14,600
US forces struck the ship within hours of launching Operation

95
00:06:14,759 –> 00:06:19,839
Epic Fury. Major combat operations continue and our response effort

96
00:06:19,879 –> 00:06:24,399
is ongo. During a UN Security Council meeting yesterday, the

97
00:06:24,399 –> 00:06:28,000
Iranian ambassador to the UN stated their response has been

98
00:06:28,040 –> 00:06:31,399
directed solely and exclusively at the basis and assets of

99
00:06:31,439 –> 00:06:36,360
the United States live. The Iranian regime is actively targeting

100
00:06:36,399 –> 00:06:39,879
civilians and has attacked more than a dozen locations, including

101
00:06:40,480 –> 00:06:47,120
Dubai International Airport, Kuwait International Airport, Zaid International Airport, Dubai

102
00:06:47,360 –> 00:06:53,399
Able International Airport, Iraq, Fairmont Palm Hotel, Dubai, Burj al

103
00:06:53,480 –> 00:06:59,199
Arab Hotel, Dubai, Crown Plaza, Hotel, Bahrain, Port of Dubai,

104
00:06:59,519 –> 00:07:05,680
residential in Bade Samesh, Israel, residential areas in Tel Aviv, Israel,

105
00:07:06,000 –> 00:07:11,399
residential area of Era used towers brain residential areas in Qatar.

106
00:07:12,160 –> 00:07:17,000
When NBC presenter asked the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbys Arachi,

107
00:07:17,279 –> 00:07:20,040
are you afraid of a U S invasion in your country?

108
00:07:20,399 –> 00:07:23,959
Arachi replied and said no, we are waiting for them.

109
00:07:24,680 –> 00:07:28,519
Arachi explicitly stated that Iran is not asking for a

110
00:07:28,560 –> 00:07:32,040
ceasefire or the continuation of the war by waiting for

111
00:07:32,079 –> 00:07:35,480
the U S ground troops invasion, and while saying Iran

112
00:07:35,560 –> 00:07:38,199
sees no reason to negotiate with the U S at

113
00:07:38,199 –> 00:07:41,120
this time, He also said that Iran now has more

114
00:07:41,199 –> 00:07:45,519
quality resources based on lessons learned from previous war, adding

115
00:07:45,759 –> 00:07:51,160
Iranian soldiers can handle U S ground troops, reiterating Iran

116
00:07:51,279 –> 00:07:55,839
is waiting for a potential U S ground invasion, characterizing

117
00:07:55,879 –> 00:07:59,600
such an offensive as a big disaster for American troops.

118
00:08:00,360 –> 00:08:03,360
Arachi had earlier labeled a recent U S strike on

119
00:08:03,480 –> 00:08:09,120
an unarmed Iranian navy training shiver war crime. Arachi accused

120
00:08:09,160 –> 00:08:13,560
President Donald Tromp of who traying diplomacy by treating complex

121
00:08:13,639 –> 00:08:18,519
nuclear negotiations like a real estate transaction. He claimed there

122
00:08:18,720 –> 00:08:22,160
is clear evidence that U S forces are actively co

123
00:08:22,199 –> 00:08:26,360
operating with Israel in recent attacks on Iranian soil, He

124
00:08:26,480 –> 00:08:30,000
cautioned that a full military conflict would be disastrous for

125
00:08:30,040 –> 00:08:32,679
the entire region due to the presence of U S

126
00:08:32,759 –> 00:08:36,639
military bases across the Middle East. China and Russia are

127
00:08:36,679 –> 00:08:41,120
supporting Iran primarily through high level diplomatic protection and critical

128
00:08:41,159 –> 00:08:46,000
military technology, though they have notably refrained from direct military intervention.

129
00:08:46,200 –> 00:08:51,000
During the current conflict, Both nations requested an emergency session

130
00:08:51,039 –> 00:08:54,679
of that U N Security Council to address recent US

131
00:08:54,799 –> 00:08:58,879
and Israeli strikes. China and Russia have officially labeled the

132
00:08:58,919 –> 00:09:05,000
attacks grave violations of Iranian sovereignty and war crimes. Russia

133
00:09:05,039 –> 00:09:09,240
has publicly stated there is no evidence of Iran seeking

134
00:09:09,240 –> 00:09:14,080
a nuclear bomb, countering Western justifications for the strikes. They

135
00:09:14,120 –> 00:09:17,960
continue to legitimize the Iranian government by deepening its roles

136
00:09:17,960 –> 00:09:23,639
in bricks and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization SCO reports indicated

137
00:09:23,679 –> 00:09:27,360
that Russia has begun delivering SU thirty five fighter jets

138
00:09:27,360 –> 00:09:30,519
and S four hundred air defense components to help Iran

139
00:09:30,600 –> 00:09:34,960
detect stealth aircraft like the F thirty five. China has

140
00:09:35,000 –> 00:09:39,320
transitioned Iran’s military from US GPS to its own Bei

141
00:09:39,440 –> 00:09:44,159
Doo U three navigation system, which provides jam resistant high

142
00:09:44,200 –> 00:09:49,039
precision targeting for Iranian missiles. Both allies share real time

143
00:09:49,159 –> 00:09:54,480
satellite imagery and signals intelligence SIGINT to help Tehran monitor

144
00:09:54,639 –> 00:09:58,799
US and Israeli troop movements. Before the new war started,

145
00:09:59,120 –> 00:10:02,200
it could be recalled, but in late February twenty twenty six,

146
00:10:02,639 –> 00:10:06,679
the three nations conducted the Maritime Security Bell twenty twenty

147
00:10:06,720 –> 00:10:10,120
six naval drills in the Strait of Houmas to demonstrate

148
00:10:10,200 –> 00:10:15,399
strategic alignment. Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reported on Thursday the top

149
00:10:15,440 –> 00:10:19,000
Iranian official Ali Larijani has stressed that his country is

150
00:10:19,080 –> 00:10:22,720
prepared to confront a possible invasion from the United States,

151
00:10:22,759 –> 00:10:25,399
pledging to capture and kill U S troops if they

152
00:10:25,559 –> 00:10:30,039
enter the country. Thursday’s statement comes as U S officials,

153
00:10:30,080 –> 00:10:34,039
including President Donald Trump, refused to rule out deploying forces

154
00:10:34,080 –> 00:10:38,399
inside Iran. Larajani, who serves as the Secretary of the

155
00:10:38,440 –> 00:10:42,679
Supreme National Security Council of Iran, warned that such actions

156
00:10:42,679 –> 00:10:47,200
would have dire consequences. Some American officials have stated that

157
00:10:47,240 –> 00:10:50,159
they intend to enter Iranian territory on the ground with

158
00:10:50,279 –> 00:10:54,759
several thousand troops, Larijani said in a statement. He then

159
00:10:54,799 –> 00:11:00,000
added appointed reference to Iran’s former Supreme leaders Ruhollahomeni and Alikos,

160
00:11:00,879 –> 00:11:03,399
the latter of whom was killed on Saturday in adjoint

161
00:11:03,519 –> 00:11:07,600
US Israeli strike. The valiant sons of Imam Hormeni and

162
00:11:07,639 –> 00:11:11,039
Immam Company are waiting for you, ready to disgrace those

163
00:11:11,080 –> 00:11:15,120
corrupt American officials by killing and capturing thousands, he said.

164
00:11:15,879 –> 00:11:19,240
Lara Jarni, who was a close adviser to the assassinated

165
00:11:19,279 –> 00:11:22,080
Supreme leader, is believed to be one of the most

166
00:11:22,120 –> 00:11:26,279
powerful figures in Iran. An apparent pro U S Government

167
00:11:26,360 –> 00:11:30,120
Facebook user with the account handle Donald Trump for President

168
00:11:30,519 –> 00:11:34,039
clarifies issues related to some U. S pilots seen during

169
00:11:34,080 –> 00:11:38,240
ejecting from their fighter jets for safety in Kuwait. According

170
00:11:38,279 –> 00:11:40,919
to the Facebook user, in numbers of posts, in one

171
00:11:40,919 –> 00:11:45,399
of which titled Kuwaiti rushes to aid down female American pilot,

172
00:11:45,799 –> 00:11:48,840
thank you for helping us. In the desert heat of

173
00:11:48,879 –> 00:11:52,519
Operation Epic Fury, a female U S F one five

174
00:11:52,600 –> 00:11:55,840
E Strike Eagle pilot ejected safely after her jet was

175
00:11:55,879 –> 00:12:00,559
tragically damned by friendly fire from Kuwaiti air defenses as

176
00:12:00,600 –> 00:12:03,440
she touched down in the sand at sunset. A local

177
00:12:03,519 –> 00:12:06,840
Kuwaiti man sprinted across the dunes to reach her first,

178
00:12:07,039 –> 00:12:10,600
beating every one else to the scene. Are you fine,

179
00:12:10,799 –> 00:12:13,960
you are safe. Thank you for helping us, the man

180
00:12:14,000 –> 00:12:17,639
told her, his voice carrying gratitude for America’s role in

181
00:12:17,720 –> 00:12:23,080
regional security. Sentcom confirmed all six American Air crew three

182
00:12:23,080 –> 00:12:27,320
F fifteen s total, ejected safely, were recovered within hours,

183
00:12:27,559 –> 00:12:31,440
and are in stable condition. Kuwait has acknowledged the error

184
00:12:31,480 –> 00:12:35,799
amid the confusion of Iranian missiles and drone barrages. The

185
00:12:35,879 –> 00:12:40,039
moment highlights the human side of coalition warfare. A civilian

186
00:12:40,120 –> 00:12:43,600
rushing to assist a foreign pilot in distress, underscoring the

187
00:12:43,639 –> 00:12:48,039
complexity of modern military operations and the bonds between partner nations.

188
00:12:48,840 –> 00:12:51,720
God blessed the service members who risked their lives in

189
00:12:51,840 –> 00:12:55,360
dangerous missions and the civilians who stepped forward to help

190
00:12:55,399 –> 00:12:59,399
when it matters most. On March second, twenty twenty six,

191
00:12:59,759 –> 00:13:01,919
through the U. S Air Force F one to five

192
00:13:02,159 –> 00:13:06,039
Strike Eagles were accidentally shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses

193
00:13:06,159 –> 00:13:11,960
during high intensity operations against Iranian targets under Operation Epic Fury.

194
00:13:12,399 –> 00:13:15,919
All six pilots ejected safely and were recovered within hours

195
00:13:15,960 –> 00:13:21,080
by coalition forces. In stable condition. No local civilian assistance

196
00:13:21,240 –> 00:13:25,399
was needed. Each pilot carried the standard blood chit, a small,

197
00:13:25,759 –> 00:13:28,720
rugged fabric patch sown into flight gear with a clear,

198
00:13:28,799 –> 00:13:32,039
multi lingual clea I am an American and I do

199
00:13:32,080 –> 00:13:35,360
not speak your language. I will do you no harm.

200
00:13:35,639 –> 00:13:40,480
Please give me food, water, shelter, clothing and a doctor.

201
00:13:41,279 –> 00:13:45,120
Help me reach American or friendly forces. When you provide

202
00:13:45,159 –> 00:13:48,360
my name and this number to US authorities, you will

203
00:13:48,399 –> 00:13:54,399
be rewarded. Printed in English, Arabic, Turkish, Persian and Kurdish,

204
00:13:54,720 –> 00:13:57,519
the blood chit is a proven World War II era

205
00:13:57,519 –> 00:14:01,960
a survival measure that promises cash rewards life. In this case,

206
00:14:02,360 –> 00:14:06,399
thanks to rapid US KUWAITI coordination, the chips remained in

207
00:14:06,440 –> 00:14:10,919
the pilot’s gear, unnecessary but ready. The incident reminds us

208
00:14:10,919 –> 00:14:14,039
that even among close allies, the fog of war can

209
00:14:14,080 –> 00:14:18,639
strike hard. Yet swift recovery and strong coalition response kept

210
00:14:18,679 –> 00:14:22,679
American air and safe and mission focus intact. The fog

211
00:14:22,720 –> 00:14:24,960
of war nearly led to a tragedy in the Al

212
00:14:25,080 –> 00:14:28,399
Jara area of Kuwait today, but a viral video is

213
00:14:28,440 –> 00:14:32,679
showing the world how quickly a violent situation turned into

214
00:14:32,679 –> 00:14:36,559
a heroic rescue. After three U S F one five

215
00:14:36,600 –> 00:14:40,279
E Strike Eagles were mistakenly down by Kuwaiti air defenses

216
00:14:40,320 –> 00:14:44,440
in a friendly fire incident. One of our pilots found

217
00:14:44,519 –> 00:14:48,879
himself surrounded by a group of intents, shouting locals in

218
00:14:48,919 –> 00:14:52,000
the heat of operation apic fury. Tensions are at a

219
00:14:52,000 –> 00:14:55,840
breaking point across the Gulf when the jet spiraled down

220
00:14:55,919 –> 00:15:00,120
in flames. Locals rushed to the scene. Witnesses include King

221
00:15:00,159 –> 00:15:03,759
Ahmed al Assar. Initially thought the parachuting airman was an

222
00:15:03,759 –> 00:15:07,559
Iranian pilot from the regime that has been launching reckless

223
00:15:07,799 –> 00:15:11,919
strikes across the region. The footage shows a crowd closing in,

224
00:15:12,360 –> 00:15:17,000
shouting in Arabic as the pilot, clutching his equipment, desperately

225
00:15:17,039 –> 00:15:23,039
identifies himself American, American over here. The second the crowd

226
00:15:23,120 –> 00:15:26,960
realized he was an American ally, the energy shifted instantly.

227
00:15:27,679 –> 00:15:32,639
You can hear the locals shouting Carla’s, Carla’s stop. Stop

228
00:15:32,919 –> 00:15:36,240
to hold back the more aggressive members and begin the rescue.

229
00:15:36,600 –> 00:15:39,840
What started as a confrontation ended with the pilot being

230
00:15:39,879 –> 00:15:42,559
shielded and comforted by the very people he’s in the

231
00:15:42,600 –> 00:15:46,240
region to protect. The pilot was given shelter in a

232
00:15:46,320 –> 00:15:49,960
vehicle and checked for injuries. One local can be heard

233
00:15:50,039 –> 00:15:55,519
reassuring him in English, how you feel in It’s okay, brother, come.

234
00:15:56,000 –> 00:16:00,120
Despite the friendly fire error caused by the chaos of

235
00:16:00,120 –> 00:16:04,279
a massive Irainian drone and missile swarm, Create has acknowledged

236
00:16:04,279 –> 00:16:07,399
the mistake and is working hand in hand with the

237
00:16:07,440 –> 00:16:10,240
Trump Hexsess team to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

238
00:16:10,960 –> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: Boots on the ground in Iran, are you afraid.

239
00:16:14,039 –> 00:16:16,159
Speaker 3: Of a US invasion in your country?

240
00:16:17,039 –> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: No, we are waiting for them.

241
00:16:20,519 –> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 4: You are waiting for the US military to invade the

242
00:16:22,720 –> 00:16:23,639
ground troops?

243
00:16:24,440 –> 00:16:28,279
Speaker 5: Yes, because we are confident that we can confront them

244
00:16:28,600 –> 00:16:33,480
and that would be a big disaster for them.

245
00:16:33,639 –> 00:16:36,279
Speaker 3: So you’re saying that that Iran is ready and willing

246
00:16:36,279 –> 00:16:38,279
to take on the US military if there were to

247
00:16:38,279 –> 00:16:39,039
be ground troops.

248
00:16:39,840 –> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 5: When we are ready for this war even more than

249
00:16:44,440 –> 00:16:47,960
the previous war. So you can see, you know the

250
00:16:48,039 –> 00:16:50,759
quality of our b sides, how much they are upgraded

251
00:16:51,080 –> 00:16:53,879
after the last war, because we learn lots of lessons

252
00:16:54,080 –> 00:16:58,320
and we are prepared for any other eventuality, even you know,

253
00:16:58,600 –> 00:17:02,759
a ground invasion. So our soldiers are prepared for any scenario.

254
00:17:03,639 –> 00:17:05,839
When I said that the very thing for them. It

255
00:17:05,880 –> 00:17:09,160
didn’t mean that the abating for continuation of the ward. No,

256
00:17:09,559 –> 00:17:13,720
but we have prepared ourselves to confront with any scenario,

257
00:17:13,920 –> 00:17:17,079
with any eventuality, any possibility, and we know that we

258
00:17:17,119 –> 00:17:17,720
can handle that.

259
00:17:18,920 –> 00:17:19,799
Speaker 1: Are your allies?

260
00:17:19,880 –> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 3: Are your allies Russia and China helping you?

261
00:17:23,880 –> 00:17:30,759
Speaker 5: Well, they are supporting us so politically and otherwise.

262
00:17:33,200 –> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 6: Well, most of the people we had in mind are dead.

263
00:17:35,759 –> 00:17:38,119
So we had some in mind from that group that

264
00:17:38,880 –> 00:17:43,480
is dead, and now we have another group. They may

265
00:17:43,480 –> 00:17:47,720
be dead also based on reports. So I guess you

266
00:17:47,720 –> 00:17:49,680
have a third wave coming, and I’m pretty sure we’re

267
00:17:49,720 –> 00:17:50,720
not going to know anybody.

268
00:17:51,440 –> 00:17:55,079
Speaker 3: The Iranian Air Force is no more built for nineteen

269
00:17:55,160 –> 00:17:59,920
ninety six, destroyed in twenty twenty six. The Iranian name

270
00:18:00,319 –> 00:18:06,640
rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf combat ineffective, decimated, destroyed, defeated,

271
00:18:07,400 –> 00:18:10,960
pick your adjective. In fact, last night we sunk their

272
00:18:11,000 –> 00:18:17,799
prize ship, the Solomoni. Looks like Potis got him twice.

273
00:18:18,480 –> 00:18:21,279
They’re Navy, not a factor. Pick your adjective. It is

274
00:18:21,359 –> 00:18:26,200
no more in fact, yesterday in the Indian Ocean, and

275
00:18:26,240 –> 00:18:30,119
we’ll play it on screen. There an American submarine sunk

276
00:18:30,160 –> 00:18:36,400
an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead,

277
00:18:36,400 –> 00:18:40,960
it was sunk by a torpedo, quiet death, the first

278
00:18:41,000 –> 00:18:43,400
sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World

279
00:18:43,480 –> 00:18:47,599
War II. Starting last night and to be completed in

280
00:18:47,640 –> 00:18:50,920
a few days. In under a week, the two most

281
00:18:50,920 –> 00:18:54,920
powerful air forces in the world will have complete control

282
00:18:55,039 –> 00:18:57,759
of Iranian skies, uncontested airspace.

283
00:18:58,799 –> 00:18:59,559
Speaker 4: I hope all the.

284
00:18:59,559 –> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 3: Folks will watching understand what uncontested airspace and complete control means.

285
00:19:06,160 –> 00:19:10,319
It means we will fly all day, all night, day

286
00:19:10,319 –> 00:19:14,400
and night, finding, fixing and finishing the missiles and defense

287
00:19:14,440 –> 00:19:18,920
industrial base of the Iranian military, finding and fixing their

288
00:19:19,039 –> 00:19:24,640
leaders and their military leaders, flying over Tehran, flying over Iran,

289
00:19:25,359 –> 00:19:30,319
flying over their capital, flying over the IRGC, Iranian leaders,

290
00:19:31,440 –> 00:19:37,039
looking up and seeing only US and Israeli air power

291
00:19:38,000 –> 00:19:42,279
every minute of every day. Until we decide you TI

292
00:19:43,480 –> 00:19:46,640
in Iran, We’ll be able to do nothing about it.

293
00:19:47,839 –> 00:19:50,880
B two S B fifty two s B ones, predator drones,

294
00:19:50,960 –> 00:19:56,920
fighters controlling the skies, picking targets, death and destruction from

295
00:19:56,920 –> 00:20:03,200
the sky all day long. We’re playing for keys. Our

296
00:20:03,200 –> 00:20:06,880
war fighters have maximum authorities granted personally by the President

297
00:20:06,920 –> 00:20:11,480
and yours. Our rules of engagement are bowling up, precise

298
00:20:11,960 –> 00:20:16,079
and designed to unleash American power, not shackle it. This

299
00:20:16,319 –> 00:20:19,960
was never meant to be a fair fight, and it

300
00:20:20,160 –> 00:20:23,559
is not a fair fight. We are punching them while

301
00:20:23,559 –> 00:20:29,359
they’re down, which is exactly how should. Thus far, Operation

302
00:20:29,519 –> 00:20:32,559
Epic Fury has delivered twice the air power of shock

303
00:20:32,599 –> 00:20:36,279
and awe of Iraq in two thousand and three. Minus

304
00:20:36,319 –> 00:20:41,400
Paul Bremer and the nation building, the campaign has seven

305
00:20:41,440 –> 00:20:45,319
times the intensity of Israel’s previous operations against Iran during

306
00:20:45,319 –> 00:20:50,279
the Twelve Day War, seven times, And as President Trump said,

307
00:20:50,519 –> 00:20:54,839
more and larger waves are coming. We are just getting started.

308
00:20:55,119 –> 00:20:59,920
We are accelerating, not decelerating. Iran’s capabilities are a vapor

309
00:21:00,279 –> 00:21:03,519
by the hour, while American straight grows fiercer, smarter, and

310
00:21:03,680 –> 00:21:13,519
utterly dominant. More bombers war fighters are arriving just today.

311
00:21:13,920 –> 00:21:18,519
Speaker 1: United States President Donald Trump, in a nationwide broadcast issued

312
00:21:18,559 –> 00:21:22,319
a few hours ago over the joint Israel US military

313
00:21:22,359 –> 00:21:25,400
actions in the sovereign nation of Iran, has said that

314
00:21:25,480 –> 00:21:28,519
many Iranian soldiers are willing to surrender in order to

315
00:21:28,559 –> 00:21:32,440
save their lives, but the offensive US Israel military war

316
00:21:32,640 –> 00:21:36,960
or combat on Iran, continued, saying the joint military operations

317
00:21:37,079 –> 00:21:41,160
code named Operation Epic Fury, has destroyed hundreds of Iranian

318
00:21:41,240 –> 00:21:45,359
targets since the military action began on February twenty eighth,

319
00:21:45,440 –> 00:21:49,160
twenty twenty six, including the killing of the Iran Supreme

320
00:21:49,240 –> 00:21:53,279
Leader Ayatollah Ali Kamane, and the new joint war against

321
00:21:53,279 –> 00:21:55,920
Iran has resulted to the killing of more than two

322
00:21:56,039 –> 00:22:00,920
hundred Iranian civilians and military personnel with thousands of people injured,

323
00:22:01,200 –> 00:22:05,000
while over twelve persons have been killed so far in Israel,

324
00:22:05,119 –> 00:22:08,920
with estimated five hundred people sustaining injuries, and the war

325
00:22:09,039 –> 00:22:12,400
has forced Iran to launch counter attacks on u S

326
00:22:12,440 –> 00:22:16,920
military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab

327
00:22:16,960 –> 00:22:22,519
Emirates UAE. This Iran Foreign Minister ABIs Arachi had said

328
00:22:22,559 –> 00:22:26,319
Iran will not surrender, stating that despite the massive air

329
00:22:26,359 –> 00:22:31,720
strikes on Tehran, Iran’s military capability remains intact, adding Iran

330
00:22:31,839 –> 00:22:34,200
was able to retaliate faster than it did in the

331
00:22:34,240 –> 00:22:38,880
twenty twenty five twelve Day war and that its mosaic

332
00:22:38,920 –> 00:22:43,559
defense doctrine makes it resilient to infrastructure damage. Arachi called

333
00:22:43,559 –> 00:22:47,799
the killing of Kamenee absolutely unprecedented and a major violation

334
00:22:47,960 –> 00:22:51,839
of international law, warning it had made the conflict even

335
00:22:51,920 –> 00:22:56,240
more dangerous and more complicated, saying Kamenee was not only

336
00:22:56,279 –> 00:23:00,759
Iran’s political leader, but a high ranking religiously for millions

337
00:23:00,799 –> 00:23:05,039
of Muslims even outside of Iran across the region, pointing

338
00:23:05,079 –> 00:23:08,680
to protests that had erupted in Iraq, Pakistan and elsewhere

339
00:23:08,720 –> 00:23:11,920
where the leader had followers. In line with this, Al

340
00:23:12,000 –> 00:23:16,119
Jazeeran News media also reported some minutes ago that Iranian

341
00:23:16,200 –> 00:23:19,880
missiles have been seen over Tel Aviv and the occupied

342
00:23:19,920 –> 00:23:24,839
West Bank, reportedly breaking through Israel’s defense system, with Iran

343
00:23:24,920 –> 00:23:29,039
saying it is targeting Israeli military facilities. In the six

344
00:23:29,119 –> 00:23:33,799
minutes nationwide video broadcast, President Donald Trump called on members

345
00:23:33,880 –> 00:23:37,240
of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to surrender their weapons or

346
00:23:37,279 –> 00:23:41,519
face certain deaths, saying the death of the three American

347
00:23:41,599 –> 00:23:44,640
soldiers killed in action will be avenged by taking more

348
00:23:44,680 –> 00:23:49,359
punishing actions against the enemies. President Donald Trump said there

349
00:23:49,400 –> 00:23:52,839
will likely be additional American deaths during the combat mission

350
00:23:52,880 –> 00:23:56,000
in Iran, which he said would continue until the US

351
00:23:56,039 –> 00:24:01,119
achieves its objectives. Combat operations continue at this time in

352
00:24:01,200 –> 00:24:04,119
full force and They will continue until all of our

353
00:24:04,160 –> 00:24:08,599
objectives are achieved. We have very strong objectives, he said

354
00:24:08,599 –> 00:24:12,160
in a video posted to truth Social without specifying in

355
00:24:12,240 –> 00:24:17,359

00:24:17,400 –> 00:24:20,519
said nine Iranian ships have been destroyed so far in

357
00:24:20,599 –> 00:24:24,799
the Operation Epic Fury. In an earlier social media post,

358
00:24:25,240 –> 00:24:28,160
Trump said, I have just been informed that we have

359
00:24:28,279 –> 00:24:31,599
destroyed and sunk nine Iranian naval ships, some of them

360
00:24:31,640 –> 00:24:35,480
relatively large and important. We are going after the rest.

361
00:24:35,960 –> 00:24:39,079
They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea. Also,

362
00:24:39,960 –> 00:24:43,559
President Trump also said during the broadcast that the Iranian

363
00:24:43,599 –> 00:24:46,559

374
00:25:27,519 –> 00:25:31,200
authority will take shape among the people and officials. The

and elsewhere. He added that Kameneise blood will fuel the

403
00:27:22,519 –> 00:27:25,599
change in the Uma, noting that the Iranian leader stood

404
00:27:25,640 –> 00:27:29,880
firmly for justice and did not hide in bunkers. Gumi wrote,

405
00:27:30,200 –> 00:27:34,400
Iatollah Ali Komenee a lucky soul. He died in jihad

406
00:27:34,480 –> 00:27:37,960
against killers of innocent children and women in Gaza and elsewhere.

407
00:27:38,799 –> 00:27:41,440
His blood will fuel the change in the Yuma. He

408
00:27:41,519 –> 00:27:45,079
stood firmly for justice and didn’t hide in bunkers. For

409
00:27:45,119 –> 00:27:48,160
those who killed him or assisted in killing him, let

410
00:27:48,240 –> 00:27:50,440

Iran State Television has announced a forty day morning period

412
00:27:55,000 –> 00:27:58,640

413
00:27:58,640 –> 00:28:01,680
of the Supreme Leader, his path and mission neither will

414
00:28:01,680 –> 00:28:04,519
be lost nor will be forgotten. On the other hand,

415
00:28:04,759 –> 00:28:07,440
they will be pursued with greater vigor and zeal. A

416
00:28:07,559 –> 00:28:12,039

417
00:28:12,039 –> 00:28:16,599
Supreme Leader since nineteen eighty nine. U S Military Central

in southern Iran resulting in at least one hundred and

426
00:28:46,839 –> 00:28:51,279
sixty five deaths. This current twenty twenty six war follows

427
00:28:51,319 –> 00:28:55,000
the Twelve Day War on June thirteen to twenty four,

428
00:28:55,440 –> 00:28:59,880
twenty twenty five, a prior direct military confrontation between Israel,

429
00:29:00,160 –> 00:29:03,079
the US, and Iran that ended in a cease fire.

430
00:29:03,799 –> 00:29:07,480
The twenty twenty five conflict was triggered by Israeli strikes

431
00:29:07,519 –> 00:29:11,640
on Iranian nuclear facilities. It involved over one thousand, five

432
00:29:11,720 –> 00:29:15,759
hundred Iranian missiles and drones fired at Israel. The U

using B two stealth bombers to strike nuclear sites at Fordo, Natans,

435
00:29:25,279 –> 00:29:29,839
and Isfahan. As of March second, twenty twenty six, local

436
00:29:29,920 –> 00:29:33,079
media reports in Israel indicate that at least twelve people

437
00:29:33,119 –> 00:29:36,200
have been killed in Israel since the current conflict with

438
00:29:36,279 –> 00:29:41,519
Iran escalated on February twenty eighth. The deadliest single incident

439
00:29:41,559 –> 00:29:45,079
occurred in the central Israeli town on March first, where

440
00:29:45,079 –> 00:29:49,640
an Iranian ballistic missile struck a residential building, killing nine people.

441
00:29:50,200 –> 00:29:54,160
One woman was killed by falling shrapnel during strikes on Saturday,

442
00:29:54,160 –> 00:29:57,960

00:30:02,599 –> 00:30:04,279
or accidents while seeking shelter.

445
00:30:05,440 –> 00:30:07,559
Speaker 4: Over the past thirty six hours.

446
00:30:08,160 –> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 6: The United States and its partners have launched Operation Epic Fury,

447
00:30:13,960 –> 00:30:18,839
one of the largest, most complex, most overwhelming military.

448
00:30:18,279 –> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 4: Offensives the world has ever seen. Nobody’s seen anything like it.

449
00:30:23,960 –> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 6: We have hit hundreds of targets in Iran, including Revolutionary

450
00:30:29,200 –> 00:30:32,720
Guard facilities, Iranian air defense systems.

451
00:30:32,839 –> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 4: Just now was announced.

452
00:30:34,759 –> 00:30:38,759
Speaker 6: That we knocked out nine ships plus the naval building,

453
00:30:39,960 –> 00:30:45,480
all in a matter of literally minutes. Irans formerly Supreme

454
00:30:45,599 –> 00:30:53,200
Leader Ayatola Hamene is dead. This wretched and vile man

455
00:30:53,640 –> 00:30:58,559
had the blood of hundreds and even thousands of Americans

456
00:30:58,559 –> 00:31:01,319
on his hands and was responded for the slaughter of

457
00:31:02,519 –> 00:31:07,160
countless thousands of innocent people all across many countries.

458
00:31:08,200 –> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 4: Last night, all over Iran, the.

459
00:31:11,039 –> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 6: Voices of the Iranian people could be heard cheering and

460
00:31:14,400 –> 00:31:20,000
celebrating in the streets when his death was announced. The

461
00:31:20,119 –> 00:31:24,359
entire military command is gone as well, and many of

462
00:31:24,400 –> 00:31:27,759
them want to surrender into saving their lives.

463
00:31:28,440 –> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 4: They want immunity.

464
00:31:30,559 –> 00:31:35,799
Speaker 6: They’re calling by the thousands, combat operations continue at this

465
00:31:35,960 –> 00:31:39,839
time in full force, and they will continue until all

466
00:31:39,880 –> 00:31:41,480
of our objectives are achieved.

467
00:31:41,559 –> 00:31:44,279
Speaker 4: We have very strong objectives.

468
00:31:45,039 –> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 6: They could have done something two weeks ago, but they

469
00:31:47,319 –> 00:31:51,839
just couldn’t get there. Earlier today, sent Kam shared the

470
00:31:51,880 –> 00:31:55,920
news that three US military service members have been killed

471
00:31:55,920 –> 00:32:00,720
in action. As one nation, we grieve for the true

472
00:32:00,759 –> 00:32:05,640
American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation,

473
00:32:06,640 –> 00:32:10,000
even as we continue the righteous mission for which they

474
00:32:10,400 –> 00:32:14,359
gave their lives. We pray for the full recovery of

475
00:32:14,440 –> 00:32:18,839
the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude

476
00:32:18,920 –> 00:32:21,039
to the families of the fallen.

477
00:32:22,039 –> 00:32:26,359
Speaker 4: And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends.

478
00:32:26,400 –> 00:32:29,319
That’s the way. It is likely be more.

479
00:32:29,359 –> 00:32:33,039
Speaker 6: But will do everything possible violent where that won’t be

480
00:32:33,160 –> 00:32:36,960
the case. But America will avenge their deaths and deliver

481
00:32:37,079 –> 00:32:40,720
the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged

482
00:32:40,759 –> 00:32:43,880
war against basically civilization.

483
00:32:44,759 –> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 4: They have waged war against civilization itself.

484
00:32:49,640 –> 00:32:54,519
Speaker 6: Our resolve, and likewise that of Israel, has never been stronger.

485
00:32:54,559 –> 00:32:59,000
America is now again the richest, most powerful nation in

486
00:32:59,039 –> 00:33:02,920
the world. Are but the only reason we enjoy the

487
00:33:03,000 –> 00:33:05,519
quality of life that we do, and the freedom and

488
00:33:05,839 –> 00:33:11,240
security as we have done things that others are unable

489
00:33:11,279 –> 00:33:16,160
to do. But it’s because of warriors who are willing

490
00:33:16,279 –> 00:33:20,160
to lay down their lives to do battle with our enemies,

491
00:33:20,839 –> 00:33:26,039
and they do battle better than anybody. An Iranian regime

492
00:33:26,200 –> 00:33:30,079
armed with long range missiles and nuclear weapons would be

493
00:33:30,119 –> 00:33:33,720
a dire threat to every American. We cannot allow a

494
00:33:33,839 –> 00:33:39,079
nation that raises terrorist armies to possess such weapons, would

495
00:33:39,319 –> 00:33:43,039
allow them to extort the world to their evil.

496
00:33:43,079 –> 00:33:44,599
Speaker 4: Will not going to let it happen.

497
00:33:45,079 –> 00:33:47,559
Speaker 6: We’re not happening to us, and we’re not going to

498
00:33:47,680 –> 00:33:51,200
let it happen to others. The United States says the

499
00:33:51,279 –> 00:33:55,680
strongest military the world has ever seen. I rebuilt our

500
00:33:55,720 –> 00:33:59,720
military in my first term. There’s never been a military

501
00:34:00,880 –> 00:34:05,640
like we possess, and frankly, there’s nobody even close. But

502
00:34:06,279 –> 00:34:09,440
we are now using that military for good We want

503
00:34:09,440 –> 00:34:13,760
to have it for good purpose. We’re undertaking this massive

504
00:34:13,800 –> 00:34:18,800
operation not merely to ensure security for our own time

505
00:34:18,880 –> 00:34:22,119
and place, but for our children and their children, just

506
00:34:22,199 –> 00:34:26,760
as our ancestors have done for us many many years ago.

507
00:34:28,079 –> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 4: This is the duty and the burden of a free people.

508
00:34:32,440 –> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 6: These actions are right and they are necessary to ensure

509
00:34:35,880 –> 00:34:40,920
that Americans will never have to face a radical, bloodthirsty

510
00:34:41,199 –> 00:34:45,719
terrorist regime armed with nuclear weapons and lots of threats.

511
00:34:47,079 –> 00:34:51,320
For almost fifty years, these wicked extremists have been attacking

512
00:34:51,360 –> 00:34:56,199
the United States while chanting the slogan death to America

513
00:34:56,519 –> 00:34:59,960
or death to Israel or both. They are the world

514
00:35:00,000 –> 00:35:03,480
wells number one state sponsor of terror. We are the

515
00:35:03,519 –> 00:35:06,880
world’s greatest and most powerful nations, so we can do.

516
00:35:06,760 –> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 4: Something about what they do.

517
00:35:09,239 –> 00:35:14,559
Speaker 6: These intolerable threats will not continue any longer. I once

518
00:35:14,599 –> 00:35:20,599
again urged the Revolutionary Guard the Iranian military police to

519
00:35:20,719 –> 00:35:23,639
lay down your arms and receive full immunity or face

520
00:35:23,719 –> 00:35:24,400
certain death.

521
00:35:25,000 –> 00:35:28,079
Speaker 4: It will be certain, death won’t be pretty.

522
00:35:28,920 –> 00:35:32,679
Speaker 6: I call upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom

523
00:35:33,440 –> 00:35:37,639
to seize this moment to be brave, be bold, be heroic,

524
00:35:38,320 –> 00:35:41,960
and take back your country. America is with you. I

525
00:35:42,039 –> 00:35:45,159
made a promise to you, and I fulfilled that promise.

526
00:35:46,039 –> 00:35:48,679
The rest will be up to you, but will be

527
00:35:48,719 –> 00:35:52,719
there to help. Thank you, God bless you to our

528
00:35:52,840 –> 00:36:07,760
incredible warriors, and God bless the United States of America United.

529
00:36:04,039 –> 00:36:08,199
Speaker 1: States u S government under the leadership of President Donald Trump,

530
00:36:08,280 –> 00:36:10,920
has ordered its citizens out of Lebanon, with the non

531
00:36:10,920 –> 00:36:15,079
emergency citizens specially worn to avoid traveling to southern Lebanon.

532
00:36:15,440 –> 00:36:19,119
Although the U. S. Embassy in Beirut never mentioned Israel

533
00:36:19,199 –> 00:36:22,400
and Hesbellah possible new war in the Middle East as

534
00:36:22,480 –> 00:36:25,840
the reason for its action, but there are strong indications

535
00:36:25,880 –> 00:36:28,719
that the America government took the decision because of the

536
00:36:28,760 –> 00:36:32,400
possible military conflicts in the region. According to the U.

537
00:36:32,480 –> 00:36:35,760
S Government, it do not want America citizens to travel

538
00:36:35,800 –> 00:36:41,159
to Lebanon due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, unexploded

539
00:36:41,239 –> 00:36:45,000
land mines, and the risk of armed conflict, stating that

540
00:36:45,280 –> 00:36:49,760
some areas, especially near the borders, have increased risk, while

541
00:36:49,800 –> 00:36:54,239
information available on Monday indicated that Hesbellah is preparing to

542
00:36:54,239 –> 00:36:59,239
resume retaliatory strikes against Israel by rejecting the US ceasefire

543
00:36:59,360 –> 00:37:03,519
deal as if Israel Defense Forces IDF continued air strikes

544
00:37:03,559 –> 00:37:07,199
on Beirut. This a joint press statement signed and made

545

described the current action of Israel in the Middle East

557
00:37:52,480 –> 00:37:56,880
as expansionist agenda. And also on Monday, the Israel Prime

558
00:37:56,880 –> 00:38:01,079
Minister Benjamin Letannaho appears before a is Israeli lawmakers that

559
00:38:01,199 –> 00:38:04,239
the Kanesset and said Israel don’t know what the days

560
00:38:04,360 –> 00:38:07,599
might be, but they are prepared for any scenario, adding

561
00:38:07,880 –> 00:38:11,199
if Iuran attack Israel, Israel will respond with the force

562
00:38:11,239 –> 00:38:15,840
Iranian government will never imagined. Also, Iran Observant News Media,

563
00:38:15,960 –> 00:38:19,559
in a tweet published on Monday, stated that oil companies

564
00:38:19,599 –> 00:38:23,079
around the world are currently advising their staff not to

565
00:38:23,119 –> 00:38:29,000
travel to Saudi Arabia. The UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait and Qatar.

566
00:38:29,239 –> 00:38:33,440
Unless absolutely necessary, it would be recalled that the conflict

567
00:38:33,440 –> 00:38:37,440
between Israel and Hesbala has historically involved two major wars,

568
00:38:37,440 –> 00:38:40,719
which occurred in two thousand and six and twenty twenty four,

569
00:38:41,079 –> 00:38:43,920
and yet possible new war remains in a state of

570
00:38:44,000 –> 00:38:48,800
high tension characterized by a fragile ceasefire and ongoing military operations.

571
00:38:49,639 –> 00:38:53,159
In February twenty twenty six, the Middle East region is

572
00:38:53,239 –> 00:38:57,360
currently under a fragile ceasefire that began on November twenty seventh,

573
00:38:57,440 –> 00:39:00,320
twenty twenty four, yet both sides of his Oath, Israel

574
00:39:00,320 –> 00:39:05,119
and Hesbalah in Lebanon, frequently report violations. The twenty twenty

575
00:39:05,199 –> 00:39:08,480
four war was triggered by the October seventh, twenty twenty

576
00:39:08,480 –> 00:39:13,159
three Hamas attacks on Israel, which Hesbela began firing rockets

577
00:39:13,159 –> 00:39:17,679
into Israel on October eighth, twenty twenty three. This escalated

578
00:39:17,719 –> 00:39:21,000
into a full scale war in September twenty twenty four.

579
00:39:21,760 –> 00:39:25,559
The conflict, according to local authorities in Lebanon and Israel,

580
00:39:25,639 –> 00:39:29,079
resulted in over four thousand deaths in Lebanon and approximately

581
00:39:29,119 –> 00:39:33,159
one hundred and thirty deaths in Israel, a US brokered

582
00:39:33,239 –> 00:39:37,559
ceasefire was signed in November twenty twenty four, requiring Hesbala

583
00:39:37,639 –> 00:39:41,039
to withdraw north of the Litani River. Prior to the

584
00:39:41,119 –> 00:39:45,079
recent conflict, the most significant engagement was the thirty four

585
00:39:45,199 –> 00:39:48,199
day two thousand and six Lebanon War, which started on

586
00:39:48,320 –> 00:39:52,320
July twelfth, two thousand and six, after Hesbela kidnapped two

587
00:39:52,480 –> 00:39:57,280
Israeli soldiers. The war ended with UN Security Council Resolution

588
00:39:57,519 –> 00:40:00,960
seventeen oh one, which called for Hesbla disarmament in the

589
00:40:01,039 –> 00:40:04,000
south of the Latani River, a provision that was never

590
00:40:04,119 –> 00:40:07,320
fully enforced and still remains a core issued till date.

591
00:40:08,079 –> 00:40:11,760
In recent days, Israel continues to carry out near daily

592
00:40:11,880 –> 00:40:15,800
strikes in Lebanon, targeting what it describes as Hesbela command

593
00:40:15,960 –> 00:40:20,360
centers and missile units, particularly in the Bekaa Valley and

594
00:40:20,480 –> 00:40:24,880
southern Lebanon. Israel Defense Forces on Saturday said it eliminated

595
00:40:25,000 –> 00:40:29,159
several terrorists of Hesbela’s missile array in three different command

596
00:40:29,280 –> 00:40:33,440
centers in the Balbek area in Lebanon. IDF said they

597
00:40:33,480 –> 00:40:37,239
were identified as operating to accelerate readiness and force build

598
00:40:37,280 –> 00:40:41,519
up processes while planning fire attacks towards Israel and advancing

599
00:40:41,679 –> 00:40:45,840
terror attacks, their actions constituting a violation of the understandings

600
00:40:45,920 –> 00:40:49,920
between Israel and Lebanon. The command center was embedded within

601
00:40:50,039 –> 00:40:53,800
the center of a civilian populated area and recently used

602
00:40:53,840 –> 00:40:57,199
by Hamas terrorists to plan and prepare terror attacks against

603
00:40:57,280 –> 00:41:02,079
id F troops and Israel in violace of the ceasefire understandings.

604
00:41:02,880 –> 00:41:07,119
In response to repeated ceasefire violations, the IDF struck a

605
00:41:07,199 –> 00:41:10,960
Hamas command center from which terrorists operated in the ann

606
00:41:11,039 –> 00:41:15,440

00:41:32,360 –> 00:41:35,639
on Monday, long before the US government finally released a

League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation

627
00:42:36,000 –> 00:42:39,199
condemn in the strongest terms a series of recent Israeli

628
00:42:39,320 –> 00:42:43,880
decisions that introduce sweeping extensions to unlawful Israeli control over

629
00:42:43,960 –> 00:42:49,079
the West Bank. Changes are wide ranging, reclassifying Palestinian Land

630
00:42:49,119 –> 00:42:54,159
as so called Israeli state land, accelerating the legal settlement activity,

631
00:42:54,519 –> 00:42:58,920
and further entrenching Israeli administration. In a statement issued some

632
00:42:59,119 –> 00:43:02,039
hours ago by the U s Embassy in Beirut through

633
00:43:02,079 –> 00:43:05,079
the website of the U. S. Department of State. The

of government personnel on February twenty third, do not travel

637
00:43:17,920 –> 00:43:23,480
to Lebanon due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, unexploded

638
00:43:23,599 –> 00:43:27,639
land mines, and the risk of armed conflict. Some areas,

639
00:43:28,119 –> 00:43:32,199
especially near the borders, have increased risk. Read the entire

640
00:43:32,320 –> 00:43:36,920
travel advisory. On February twenty third, the Department of State

641
00:43:37,159 –> 00:43:40,679
ordered the departure of non emergency U S Government personnel

642
00:43:40,800 –> 00:43:44,119
and family members of government personnel due to the security

643
00:43:44,239 –> 00:43:49,679
situation in Beirut. U S Embassy Beirut personnel are restricted

644
00:43:49,760 –> 00:43:54,920
from personal travel without advanced permission. Additional travel restrictions may

645
00:43:54,960 –> 00:43:58,519
be imposed on US personnel under Chief of Mission Security

646
00:43:58,639 –> 00:44:02,679
Responsibility with little to no notice due to increased security

647
00:44:02,800 –> 00:44:07,480
issues or threats. Country Summary. U S citizens in Lebanon

648
00:44:07,519 –> 00:44:10,199
should be aware that consular offices from the U. S

649
00:44:10,320 –> 00:44:13,239
Embassy are not always able to travel to assist them.

650
00:44:14,079 –> 00:44:16,840
The Department of State considers the threat to U. S.

651
00:44:16,960 –> 00:44:20,400
Government personnel in Beirut serious enough to require them to

652
00:44:20,480 –> 00:44:25,239
live and work under strict security. The internal security policies

653
00:44:25,320 –> 00:44:27,679
of the U. S. Embassy may be adjusted at any

654
00:44:27,760 –> 00:44:32,760
time and without advanced notice. Terrorist groups continue plotting possible

655
00:44:32,800 –> 00:44:36,559
attacks in Lebanon. Terrorists may conduct attacks with little or

656
00:44:36,679 –> 00:44:42,719
no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation hubs, markets, shopping malls,

657
00:44:43,039 –> 00:44:48,000
and local government facilities. Local security authorities have noted a

658
00:44:48,119 –> 00:44:53,880
rise in violent crimes, including political violence. Multiple unsolved killings

659
00:44:53,920 –> 00:44:58,760
in Lebanon may have been politically motivated. Kidnapping, weather for ransom,

660
00:44:59,079 –> 00:45:04,440
political motive, or family disputes has occurred in Lebanon. Suspects

661
00:45:04,480 –> 00:45:08,440
in kidnappings may have ties to terrorists or criminal organizations.

662
00:45:08,960 –> 00:45:12,599
Unexploded land mines and explosive remnants of war are hazard

663
00:45:12,679 –> 00:45:16,800
along the border with Syria heed land mine warning signs.

664
00:45:17,320 –> 00:45:20,239
Do not venture off the road into areas marked off

665
00:45:20,280 –> 00:45:25,000
with red and white plastic tape. Avoid roadside ditches, shoulders,

666
00:45:25,280 –> 00:45:30,760
and unmarked trails. Never touch anything resembling unexploded munitions. U

667
00:45:31,559 –> 00:45:35,199
S citizens should avoid demonstrations and exercise caution if in

668
00:45:35,239 –> 00:45:38,480
the vicinity of any large gatherings or protests, as these

669
00:45:38,599 –> 00:45:41,960
have the potential to turn violent quickly and with little notice.

670
00:45:42,760 –> 00:45:47,719
Protesters have block major roads, including thoroughfares between downtown Beroute

671
00:45:47,719 –> 00:45:50,320
and the area where the U. S. Embassy is located,

Israel Benjamin Lettanyahoo, while speaking before Israeli lawmakers on Monday, said,

716
00:48:45,199 –> 00:48:49,800
and in quotes below, mister Speaker, members of the Knesset,

717
00:48:50,199 –> 00:48:53,519
once a month we meet here. I listen attentively to

718
00:48:53,639 –> 00:48:58,400
your remarks, which are becoming increasingly polemical and very very aggressive.

719
00:48:59,159 –> 00:49:02,480
At times they deteriorate into a language that should not

720
00:49:02,599 –> 00:49:06,039
be common here. But I must tell you I am

721
00:49:06,119 –> 00:49:10,679
not exactly deterred by these encounters. I don’t even dislike them.

722
00:49:11,280 –> 00:49:15,679
Sometimes I can even enjoy them. I recently returned from

723
00:49:15,760 –> 00:49:18,840
my seventh meeting with the President of the United States

724
00:49:18,920 –> 00:49:22,599
since his election. In the last two and a half years,

725
00:49:23,039 –> 00:49:26,079
we have pushed back a threat against every single citizen

726
00:49:26,159 –> 00:49:30,400
of Israel, Jews and non Jews, predoment secular and every

727
00:49:30,400 –> 00:49:34,280
one in between. A threat against the ten million citizens

728
00:49:34,320 –> 00:49:37,360
of Israel who face the danger of annihilation by the

729
00:49:37,440 –> 00:49:41,000
Iranian enemy and its proxies. And I say to day

730
00:49:41,440 –> 00:49:44,599
regarding the subject of this debate, the safeguarding of the

731
00:49:44,679 –> 00:49:48,880
lives of millions of Israeli citizens Israel has never been stronger.

732
00:49:49,639 –> 00:49:52,280
The alliance with the U s has never been tighter.

733
00:49:52,760 –> 00:49:56,119
This includes the relationship between the President of the United

734
00:49:56,199 –> 00:49:59,639
States and the Prime Minister of Israel, Between myself and

735
00:49:59,679 –> 00:50:03,719
Donmit Trump. There have never been relations like these, Between

736
00:50:03,760 –> 00:50:07,880
the IDF and the US military, between our security agencies

737
00:50:07,960 –> 00:50:11,559
and their security services, there has never been anything like it.

738
00:50:12,440 –> 00:50:16,440
The entire world knows Israel’s strength. Leaders come to us,

739
00:50:16,880 –> 00:50:20,719
the Chancellor of Germany, leaders of world powers, the Prime

740
00:50:20,800 –> 00:50:23,679
Minister of India, a superpower of one and a half

741
00:50:23,760 –> 00:50:27,679
billion people, President Trump previously, and other leaders who have

742
00:50:27,840 –> 00:50:31,639
been here and spoken here. So I could come now,

743
00:50:32,039 –> 00:50:34,760
and I have prepared for this. I have points here.

744
00:50:35,239 –> 00:50:38,119
I could answer you in kind, but much more forcefully.

745
00:50:38,800 –> 00:50:40,920
I could confront you with the truth that you are

746
00:50:41,000 –> 00:50:44,599
trying to disguise. I could, but this is not the

747
00:50:44,679 –> 00:50:48,199
time for polemics. I am putting that aside. We are

748
00:50:48,280 –> 00:50:52,320
in complex and challenging days. Members of the Kannesset. No

749
00:50:52,480 –> 00:50:55,480
one knows what the day will bring. We are keeping

750
00:50:55,519 –> 00:50:59,400
a watchful eye. We are prepared for any scenario. I

751
00:50:59,559 –> 00:51:02,639
have con made and clarified to the Iotolus regime that

752
00:51:02,760 –> 00:51:05,119
if they make what might be the gravest mistake in

753
00:51:05,199 –> 00:51:08,039
their history and attack the state of Israel, we will

754
00:51:08,079 –> 00:51:11,519
respond with a force they cannot even imagine. This is

755
00:51:11,639 –> 00:51:14,679
not the time for bickering in these days, on the

756
00:51:14,760 –> 00:51:17,800
eve of the Purim holiday. In those days, as at

757
00:51:17,840 –> 00:51:21,159
this season, we must close ranks as a nation and

758
00:51:21,320 –> 00:51:25,280
stand shoulder to shoulder. I am confident in our strength.

759
00:51:25,800 –> 00:51:29,800
I trust our commanders, I trust our male and female fighters,

760
00:51:30,320 –> 00:51:33,679
I trust our people, and I trust you, the citizens

761
00:51:33,719 –> 00:51:37,599
of Israel. We have already proven that when we stand together,

762
00:51:38,079 –> 00:51:41,719
we achieve greatness. On the eve of Purim, we will

763
00:51:41,800 –> 00:51:44,840
stand together and with God’s help, we will ensure the

764
00:51:44,880 –> 00:51:55,760
eternity of Israel. Nigeria Police Force, under the leadership of

765
00:51:55,800 –> 00:51:59,920
the Inspector General of Police ig P KR yode eg Beetoken,

766
00:52:00,119 –> 00:52:03,280
has kept months since her video went viral on social

767
00:52:03,400 –> 00:52:08,159
media platforms, wherein allegation of bringing people illegally to settle

768
00:52:08,280 –> 00:52:11,960
inside forest in Edo State was made against the Divisional

769
00:52:12,079 –> 00:52:15,440
Police Officer the DPO who is currently serving at the

770
00:52:15,519 –> 00:52:20,039
Divisional Police Headquarters at Oboha community in the Essen Southeast

771
00:52:20,159 –> 00:52:23,079
Local government area in the state, a state that have

772
00:52:23,239 –> 00:52:27,639
witnessed rampant cases of kidnappings in recent time, especially since

773
00:52:27,679 –> 00:52:30,199
the beginning of this year. Despite the fact that the

774
00:52:30,400 –> 00:52:34,840
Edo State Governor, Monday Ocpapolo, has executed the destruction of

775
00:52:35,000 –> 00:52:39,039
numbers of houses or properties of apparent innocent landlords or

776
00:52:39,119 –> 00:52:42,159
people who may not have direct connection with the crime.

777
00:52:42,599 –> 00:52:45,559
It may be recalled the early twenty twenty five, the

778
00:52:45,679 –> 00:52:49,960
governor demolished a residential property on College Road simply because

779
00:52:50,000 –> 00:52:52,599
it was linked to a kidnapping gang operating in the

780
00:52:52,679 –> 00:52:57,559
Aduawa Eyan and benin Auchi Rode Bypass axis, even when

781
00:52:57,599 –> 00:53:00,599
the building belonged to a woman based in Italy, just

782
00:53:00,760 –> 00:53:04,800
that her brother, ossamede Asimota, the alleged key leader of

783
00:53:04,880 –> 00:53:08,559
the gang, allegedly used it to co ordinate abductions. This

784
00:53:08,760 –> 00:53:11,679
is just one of many properties demolished by the Edo

785
00:53:11,840 –> 00:53:15,920
State government over kidnapping in the state. Yet records of

786
00:53:16,000 –> 00:53:19,519
kidnappings in the state continued to grow higher and recent

787
00:53:19,599 –> 00:53:23,320
police and military arrests indicated that Edo’s state is perhaps

788
00:53:23,519 –> 00:53:27,039
under siege of foreign invaders who may have taken over

789
00:53:27,239 –> 00:53:30,639
larger part of the state forest to co ordinate kidnappings

790
00:53:30,760 –> 00:53:33,199
in the state while working with some of the local

791
00:53:33,320 –> 00:53:36,800
residents to perpetuate the criminal act. It may be interesting

792
00:53:36,880 –> 00:53:39,760
to note that another set of non indigens of the

793
00:53:39,880 –> 00:53:43,880
state arrested by the police recently included two persons caught

794
00:53:44,039 –> 00:53:47,679
inside the Specialist Hospital in Auchi. The two suspects, who

795
00:53:47,719 –> 00:53:50,079
were said to be non indigenes of the state, were

796
00:53:50,119 –> 00:53:53,360
among the gang of kidnappers behind the abduction of doctor

797
00:53:53,480 –> 00:53:58,000
Abu Babatunde, who regained his freedom after his family reportedly

798
00:53:58,079 –> 00:54:01,360
paid a sum of fifty million nine marrus ransom after

799
00:54:01,440 –> 00:54:05,199
the doctor and his younger brother were abducted on January second,

800
00:54:05,360 –> 00:54:08,719
twenty twenty six while opening the gate to their residents

801
00:54:08,800 –> 00:54:13,320
the long City Pride Road, Igbira, camp Auchi and unfortunately,

802
00:54:13,719 –> 00:54:16,960
the younger brother was later found dead on January fifth

803
00:54:17,119 –> 00:54:20,599
near the Auley River along City Pride Road, with police

804
00:54:20,639 –> 00:54:24,000
suspecting he was killed by the abductors and the alleged

805
00:54:24,039 –> 00:54:28,719
illegal settlers who confessed the Ugbohadpo as their facilitator, are

806
00:54:28,760 –> 00:54:32,679
said to be non Nigerians from foreign countries. According to

807
00:54:32,800 –> 00:54:35,920
one of the vigilantes who called the illegal settlers, the

808
00:54:36,079 –> 00:54:38,800
arrested illegal settlers in the forest will be taken to

809
00:54:38,920 –> 00:54:43,239
the station. The vigilante member also said the illegal settlers

810
00:54:43,239 –> 00:54:46,880
are not Nigerians and close watchers said people are brought

811
00:54:46,960 –> 00:54:50,119
in and smuggled into Edo forests illegally and such people

812
00:54:50,239 –> 00:54:53,239
may be responsible for the act of kidnapping in the state.

813
00:54:54,039 –> 00:54:57,960
Available records indicated that the kidnapping situation in the state

814
00:54:58,119 –> 00:55:01,159
is currently happening almost daily, with numbers of the state

815
00:55:01,280 –> 00:55:04,480
residents and Indo genes also recorded dead or killed by

816
00:55:04,559 –> 00:55:08,760
kidnappers since Governor Monday ok Pepolo came into power. On

00:57:52,440 –> 00:57:58,000
Federal Polytechnic Auchi, Isa Abdullaziz, had earlier on Sunday, posted

854
00:57:58,039 –> 00:58:01,920
on his Facebook wald dot Org to Abu Babitunde reported

855
00:58:02,000 –> 00:58:06,000
for duty today Sunday, February eighth, twenty twenty six, at

856
00:58:06,039 –> 00:58:09,960
the Edo State University Teaching Hospital, unaware that his routine

857
00:58:10,039 –> 00:58:12,679
work day would reopen one of the darkest chapters of

858
00:58:12,760 –> 00:58:17,519
his life. While on ward rands, doctor Babitunday noticed some

859
00:58:17,679 –> 00:58:20,920
individuals who had come to visit a patient. In a

860
00:58:21,039 –> 00:58:24,840
chilling moment of recognition, he identified among them members of

861
00:58:24,920 –> 00:58:28,000
the same kidnapping gang that abducted him and his younger brother,

862
00:58:28,519 –> 00:58:30,800
a tragic incident that ended with the killing of his

863
00:58:30,960 –> 00:58:35,000
brother while attempting to escape from the den. Acting swiftly,

864
00:58:35,440 –> 00:58:40,639
doctor Babitunde immediately alerted the local security outfit popularly known

865
00:58:40,679 –> 00:58:46,039
as the Vigilante. However, under circumstances that remain unclear, the

866
00:58:46,159 –> 00:58:49,639
information reportedly leaped to the police before the Vigilante teen

867
00:58:49,679 –> 00:58:54,280
could arrive. Police officers moved impromptly, arresting two of the

868
00:58:54,400 –> 00:58:58,880
suspects and detaining them today Sunday, February eighth, twenty twenty six,

869
00:58:59,159 –> 00:59:03,320
at the Divisional Police Station in Auchi. Fresh accounts emerging

870
00:59:03,400 –> 00:59:06,840
today further deepened the case. One of the individuals who

871
00:59:06,920 –> 00:59:11,840
participated in delivering the ransom that secured doctor Babtunde’s release

872
00:59:11,880 –> 00:59:15,079
has identified one of the arrested suspects as being among

873
00:59:15,199 –> 00:59:17,880
those who physically received the ransom on the day the

874
00:59:17,960 –> 00:59:22,639
payment was made. Another report indicates that just last night,

875
00:59:23,039 –> 00:59:26,559
the two suspects carried out pos transactions at a stand

876
00:59:26,639 –> 00:59:30,559
within Auchi, raising fresh questions about the source of the funds.

877
00:59:31,400 –> 00:59:34,400
A significant sum of money was allegedly found in their

878
00:59:34,440 –> 00:59:38,000
possession at the time of arrest today, an amount investigators

879
00:59:38,079 –> 00:59:41,519
believe is inconsistent with the known means and strongly suggestive

880
00:59:41,559 –> 00:59:45,519
of criminal activity. As this report is being filed today,

881
00:59:45,960 –> 00:59:49,280
credible sources confirm the pressure is already being mounted on

882
00:59:49,360 –> 00:59:52,719
the divisional Police Officer in Auchi to release the suspects.

883
00:59:53,599 –> 00:59:58,320
This development has sparked widespread concern within the community. Notably,

884
00:59:58,800 –> 01:00:02,400
during a recent meeting with Auchi youth bodies, the EPO

885
01:00:02,639 –> 01:00:05,880
was reportedly overheard stating that the case had become widely

886
01:00:05,960 –> 01:00:09,119
publicized and could no longer be swept under the carpet,

887
01:00:09,559 –> 01:00:12,440
an indication that attempts may already be under way to

888
01:00:12,519 –> 01:00:17,360
compromise the process. For a community long traumatized by kidnapping

889
01:00:17,440 –> 01:00:22,719
and violent crime. Today’s arrests representer critical moment the people

890
01:00:22,800 –> 01:00:26,199
of Auchi and its environs are watching closely. The Edo

891
01:00:26,320 –> 01:00:30,800
State government must now take decisive responsibility. Governor munday O

892
01:00:30,960 –> 01:00:35,079
Capolo is urged to ensure that investigations are thorough and transparent,

893
01:00:35,199 –> 01:00:38,360
in that if the suspects are found guilty, the full

894
01:00:38,400 –> 01:00:41,400
weight of the Edo State anti kidnapping law is applied

895
01:00:41,519 –> 01:00:46,320
without interference. Justice for doctor Abu Babatun Day, for his

896
01:00:46,480 –> 01:00:50,119
murdered brother, and for countless victims across Edo North must

897
01:00:50,199 –> 01:00:54,239
not be delayed or denied. Today must mark a turning point,

898
01:00:54,760 –> 01:00:56,320
not another missed opportunity.

899
01:00:57,480 –> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 2: O uh huh what you not speaking?

900
01:01:06,599 –> 01:01:06,639

Speaker 4: We’re looking at me.

915
01:02:40,119 –> 01:02:43,159
Speaker 2: You lo me loop me.

916
01:02:51,039 –> 01:02:54,639
Speaker 1: Day after, the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Monday at

917
01:02:54,679 –> 01:02:58,320
Berniek personally led troops who joined security operatives at the

918
01:02:58,400 –> 01:03:01,199
dead of the night to launch a five attacks against

919
01:03:01,320 –> 01:03:04,800
kidnappers in the forest. The Commander four Brigade of the

920
01:03:04,920 –> 01:03:09,760
Nigerian Army Brigadier General RMB Baligan also personally led troops

921
01:03:09,800 –> 01:03:13,719
of joint security operatives to the kidnappers hideouts and launched

922
01:03:13,800 –> 01:03:18,880
massive military clearance and offensive actions against kidnappers. Both security

923
01:03:18,960 –> 01:03:22,960
operations led to the arrest of several suspected kidnappers allegedly

924
01:03:23,079 –> 01:03:26,559
caught in the act inside the bush, with the identities

925
01:03:26,599 –> 01:03:30,039
of the arrested suspects indicating that most of the kidnappers

926
01:03:30,199 –> 01:03:33,960
terrorizing Edo’s State are from the far northern part of Nigeria,

927
01:03:34,440 –> 01:03:37,920
an observation which appeared to have challenged the public policy

928
01:03:38,039 –> 01:03:41,719
statement made earlier in January twenty twenty six by the

929
01:03:41,960 –> 01:03:45,880
Edo State Governor, Monday Okpapolo, who stated that many of

930
01:03:46,000 –> 01:03:49,159
those involved in the kidnapping surge in Edo’s stat are

931
01:03:49,280 –> 01:03:52,760
inder genes of the area, saying that maybe the reason

932
01:03:52,880 –> 01:03:56,320
some kidnappers wears face masks. The governor made this statement

933
01:03:56,400 –> 01:03:59,119
as kidnapping in the state appeared to have become worse

934
01:03:59,199 –> 01:04:02,039
in twenty twenty six and very rampant, in a manner

935
01:04:02,079 –> 01:04:05,320
that indicated that an average of one to two persons

936
01:04:05,360 –> 01:04:08,239
of being kidnapped in a day in Edo State, as

937
01:04:08,360 –> 01:04:12,079
more than sixty persons became new victims of the increasing

938
01:04:12,199 –> 01:04:15,599
criminal activities in the state since the beginning of twenty

939
01:04:15,719 –> 01:04:20,119
twenty six. Like in January second, twenty twenty six, two

940
01:04:20,199 –> 01:04:24,880
brothers doctor Abu Ibrahem babbitton Day, a medical doctor on housemanship,

941
01:04:24,960 –> 01:04:27,880

The kidnappers initially demanded the two hundred million nairas ransom

944
01:04:36,440 –> 01:04:40,039
and tragically, on January fifth, one of the two brothers

945
01:04:40,199 –> 01:04:44,239

area of the state were abducted from a hotel along

948
01:04:51,719 –> 01:04:54,960
a Bilow road. Since the start of twenty twenty six,

949
01:04:55,559 –> 01:04:59,840
Edo State has experienced a significant surge in kidnappings, leading

950
01:04:59,840 –> 01:05:04,360
to widespread protests at diploma in the Edo Central Sanatorial Zone,

951
01:05:04,440 –> 01:05:09,199

01:09:13,720 –> 01:09:16,840
The suspects and recovered items were also handed over to

1007
01:09:16,920 –> 01:09:22,359
the police for further investigation. The Commander four Brigade, Brigadier

1008
01:09:22,479 –> 01:09:26,239
General hm Ed Balagun, who led the operations, commended the

1009
01:09:26,319 –> 01:09:31,039
swift response and collaboration among the security agencies. He warned

1010
01:09:31,079 –> 01:09:34,640
that Edo’s state will be untenable for terrorists, kidnappers and

1011
01:09:34,720 –> 01:09:38,840
other criminal elements to carry out the nefarious activities. He

1012
01:09:39,000 –> 01:09:43,119
also reaffirmed the Brigade’s commitment to safeguarding lives and properties

1013
01:09:43,159 –> 01:09:47,119
in the state. He expressed appreciation to the General Officer

1014
01:09:47,199 –> 01:09:52,920
commanding two Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Sheenido Nebafe for

1015
01:09:53,000 –> 01:09:58,199
his strategic guidance and support, while asp Eno Ichiodom, the

1016
01:09:58,439 –> 01:10:02,319
Edo Police Command Public Rule Officer, had stated that in

1017
01:10:02,439 –> 01:10:06,920
continuation of the joint clearance operations, a meticulously executed night

1018
01:10:07,000 –> 01:10:10,840
operation that underscores the resolve of synergized security forces to

1019
01:10:10,960 –> 01:10:14,840
confront crime at its routes was conducted the Edo State

1020
01:10:14,920 –> 01:10:18,119
Police Command in the early hours of Tuesday, the third

1021
01:10:18,159 –> 01:10:21,600
of February twenty twenty six, carried out a daring raid

1022
01:10:21,720 –> 01:10:26,000
deep within the Agbede Forest, Etxico West Local Government Area

1023
01:10:26,119 –> 01:10:29,439
of Edo State, leading to the arrest of six suspects.

1024
01:10:30,279 –> 01:10:34,399
The operation was launched following a critical intelligence breakthrough provided

1025
01:10:34,479 –> 01:10:37,560
by a kidnapped victim who was able to clearly identify

1026
01:10:37,720 –> 01:10:41,359
the forest camp where he had been held captive. Acting

1027
01:10:41,479 –> 01:10:46,640
decisively on this lead, the Commissioner of Police, Edo State Command, CP.

1028
01:10:46,880 –> 01:10:51,520
Monday Agbonica personally led a formidable joint team comprising the

1029
01:10:51,640 –> 01:10:56,199
Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Security and

1030
01:10:56,279 –> 01:11:01,920
Civil Defense Corps NSCDC, the Edo States Security Corps ESSC,

1031
01:11:02,399 –> 01:11:05,119
and local hunters into the heart of the forest under

1032
01:11:05,159 –> 01:11:10,159
the cover of darkness. Demonstrating precision and determination, the joint

1033
01:11:10,199 –> 01:11:14,079
team drove for approximately three three hours until the end

1034
01:11:14,159 –> 01:11:18,159
of the last accessible motorable road. From that point, the

1035
01:11:18,239 –> 01:11:22,600
operatives advanced on foot, navigating dense forest paths and crossing

1036
01:11:22,720 –> 01:11:27,439
three three locally constructed wooden bridges to reach the identified camp.

1037
01:11:28,239 –> 01:11:32,960
The silent advance, which lasted close to two two additional hours,

1038
01:11:33,520 –> 01:11:37,119
ensured tactical surprise and prevented any compromise of the mission.

1039
01:11:37,960 –> 01:11:40,960
Upon arrival at the location at about three forty five

1040
01:11:41,039 –> 01:11:44,680
a m. The area was swiftly cordoned off in a

1041
01:11:44,760 –> 01:11:50,000
well coordinated encirclement, effectively cutting off all escape routes. A

1042
01:11:50,119 –> 01:11:52,560
thorough sweep of the camp resulted in the arrest of

1043
01:11:52,640 –> 01:11:58,279

Department SCID bernein City for Diligent Prosecution. Describing the operation

1052
01:12:44,279 –> 01:12:47,479
as a clear message to criminal elements, the Commissioner of

1053
01:12:47,560 –> 01:12:52,079
Police commends the courage, discipline and seamless into agency collaboration

1054
01:12:52,239 –> 01:12:57,079
displayed by all personnel involved. He reaffirms the command’s determination

1055
01:12:57,279 –> 01:13:00,000
to take the fight against organized crime to the abode

1056
01:13:00,239 –> 01:13:03,680
of suspected criminals at their most remote locations and warned

1057
01:13:03,720 –> 01:13:06,640
that Edo State forests will no longer serve as safe

1058
01:13:06,720 –> 01:13:11,199
havens for criminals. The Edo’s State Police Command urges members

1059
01:13:11,279 –> 01:13:14,319
of the public to remain vigilant and to continue supporting

1060
01:13:14,479 –> 01:13:19,239
security agencies with timely and credible information, assuring citizens that

1061
01:13:19,279 –> 01:13:23,039
sustained intelligence led operations will remain a key strategy in

1062
01:13:23,159 –> 01:13:25,880
securing lives and property across the state.

Speaker 4: Quindi.

1064
01:13:31,600 –> 01:13:35,239
Speaker 1: In this write up, a legal practitioner in Joku Dude

1065
01:13:35,279 –> 01:13:39,199
in Joku pinpoints and fundamentals in the judgment passed against

1066
01:13:39,359 –> 01:13:43,600
Marzi Namdi Kanu by Justice James Amatosha, which convicted and

1067
01:13:43,760 –> 01:13:48,199
sentenced the Biafra Republic agitation leader to life imprisonment, and

1068
01:13:48,359 –> 01:13:51,399
in this press release the legal practitioner issued in late

1069
01:13:51,520 –> 01:13:55,319
twenty twenty five entitled the twenty fourth of November twenty

1070
01:13:55,399 –> 01:14:00,720
twenty five The Day evidence Ceased to matter in Nigerian courts. Silence,

1071
01:14:01,000 –> 01:14:06,560
selective justice and media complicity describe Justice Omitosho as unprofessional,

1072
01:14:07,039 –> 01:14:10,800
stating that the most dangerous aspect of the judgment delivered

1073
01:14:10,840 –> 01:14:14,560
by Justice James Chaomatosho is not merely that it reached

1074
01:14:14,560 –> 01:14:17,199
a fore ordained conclusion, but that it did so by

1075
01:14:17,279 –> 01:14:21,159
deliberately suppressing evidence he already admitted on record in his

1076
01:14:21,279 –> 01:14:25,560
own court, thereby converting a judication into a procedural facade.

1077
01:14:25,960 –> 01:14:28,159
This was not an error of law or an oversight

1078
01:14:28,239 –> 01:14:31,640
of fact. It was a calculated refusal to engage with

1079
01:14:31,840 –> 01:14:36,479
material evidence whose evaluation would have fatally undermined the prosecution’s

1080
01:14:36,560 –> 01:14:40,279
narrative and pazing that this case is no longer about

1081
01:14:40,359 –> 01:14:44,000
one man. It is about whether courts may openly disregard

1082
01:14:44,079 –> 01:14:47,760
admitted evidence and still be treated as legitimate, and whether

1083
01:14:47,840 –> 01:14:51,239
the media will continue to mask such conduct through silence.

1084
01:14:51,560 –> 01:14:55,119
A judiciary that can ignore evidence without explanation has ceased

1085
01:14:55,199 –> 01:14:57,760
to function as a court of law. A media that

1086
01:14:57,840 –> 01:15:01,800
refuses to question that silence has abdicated its public duty.

1087
01:15:02,159 –> 01:15:06,199
Together they place the rule of law itself in existential peril.

1088
01:15:07,000 –> 01:15:11,640
Continuing in details, in Joku said, once evidence is admitted,

1089
01:15:12,000 –> 01:15:17,199
it binds the judge absolutely. The conduct protest, silence or

1090
01:15:17,239 –> 01:15:21,199
alleged boycott of the defendant Marzi Namdi Kanu is legally

1091
01:15:21,239 –> 01:15:25,640
irrelevant to that obligation. Judgment writing is not a negotiation

1092
01:15:25,840 –> 01:15:29,319
with the accused. It is a solitary judicial duty anchored

1093
01:15:29,399 –> 01:15:34,279
exclusively to the evidentiary record. A judge may reject defense evidence,

1094
01:15:34,600 –> 01:15:38,119
but he must first confront it, evaluate it, and explain

1095
01:15:38,239 –> 01:15:43,399
why it is rejected. Silence is not neutrality. Silence is suppression.

1096
01:15:43,720 –> 01:15:48,039
Had Justice Homitosho evaluated the admitted video exhibit of Theophilis

1097
01:15:48,279 –> 01:15:51,760
t y Danjuma, he would have been confronted with the

1098
01:15:51,800 –> 01:15:55,960
inescapable reality that public calls for communities to arm themselves

1099
01:15:56,079 –> 01:15:59,439
in self defense against murderous violence were not unique to

1100
01:15:59,520 –> 01:16:04,119
Namdi Kans nor criminalized when made by powerful establishment figures.

1101
01:16:04,920 –> 01:16:08,039
Proper evaluation would have compelled the court to accept that

1102
01:16:08,199 –> 01:16:11,520
Carnu’s calls for guns and bullets in Los Angeles, USA

1103
01:16:11,880 –> 01:16:15,680
or during broadcasts were framed as community self defense against

1104
01:16:15,720 –> 01:16:19,479
the ravages of armed Fulani killer herders, not incitement to

1105
01:16:19,560 –> 01:16:24,720
lawless violence. Had Justice Omitosho evaluated the admitted video evidence

1106
01:16:24,800 –> 01:16:29,000
of Governor Hope Uzobenma, he would have known because Uzodamer

1107
01:16:29,079 –> 01:16:32,720
stated it publicly that neither Nandi Krnu nor the IPO

1108
01:16:32,880 –> 01:16:35,680
B had any hand in the killing of Ahmed Gulak.

1109
01:16:36,479 –> 01:16:39,520
That single evaluation would have punctured one of the most

1110
01:16:39,560 –> 01:16:45,239
politically weaponized allegations surrounding this case. Had Justice Omitosha listened

1111
01:16:45,279 –> 01:16:49,640
to his fellow Yoruba kinsman and Nigeria’s Intelligence chief Hadeola

1112
01:16:49,720 –> 01:16:53,680
olawatos and Ajai, whose statements were also admitted in evidence,

1113
01:16:54,119 –> 01:16:56,439
he would have been forced to acknowledge that the formation

1114
01:16:56,600 –> 01:16:59,880
of armed vigilante groups for community defense was openly inn

1115
01:17:00,039 –> 01:17:04,520
endorsed at the highest levels of Nigeria’s security establishment. That

1116
01:17:04,720 –> 01:17:08,279
acknowledgment would have led inexorably to the conclusion that Carnu

1117
01:17:08,479 –> 01:17:10,960
was right to form to defend Igboland when the state

1118
01:17:11,079 –> 01:17:15,439
failed to do so. Had Justice Omitosha evaluated the evidence

1119
01:17:15,520 –> 01:17:20,079
surrounding Legos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry report on ENS’s violence,

1120
01:17:20,520 –> 01:17:23,319
he would have seen the documentary trail showing that Namdi

1121
01:17:23,439 –> 01:17:27,479
Karanu repeatedly wrote to and consulted Southeast governors urging them

1122
01:17:27,560 –> 01:17:31,119
to establish a regional security outfit similar to a motechan.

1123
01:17:31,880 –> 01:17:37,279
Their refusal, not Carnu’s ambition, precipitated the formation of E

1124
01:17:37,600 –> 01:17:41,199
s N. Proper judicial evaluation would have made clear that

1125
01:17:41,359 –> 01:17:45,279
e s N was conceptually and functionally analogous to a Motecan,

1126
01:17:45,680 –> 01:17:50,319
differing only in political acceptance, not in purpose. Had Justice

1127
01:17:50,359 –> 01:17:54,359
Omitosha reviewed and evaluated the admitted report on ENS’s violence,

1128
01:17:54,800 –> 01:17:58,119
he would have been confronted with authoritative findings that squarely

1129
01:17:58,199 –> 01:18:01,000
blamed killings and violence on the U S Army and police,

1130
01:18:01,520 –> 01:18:06,159
not on Namdicaro. That report decisively dismantles the lazy and

1131
01:18:06,279 –> 01:18:10,680
dishonest attribution of nationwide violence to IPO B broadcasts and

1132
01:18:10,760 –> 01:18:15,000
would have stripped the prosecution’s claims of moral and evidentiary legitimacy.

1133
01:18:15,800 –> 01:18:19,960
Had Justice Armatosha paid even minimal attention to chronology, he

1134
01:18:20,039 –> 01:18:23,000
would have known that attributing post June twenty twenty one

1135
01:18:23,079 –> 01:18:27,880
insecurity in the Southeast to Namdicru is factually and logically impossible.

1136
01:18:28,640 –> 01:18:31,960
From June twenty twenty one onward, Carnu was held in

1137
01:18:32,079 –> 01:18:38,680
underground DSS detention in Communicado without access to telephones, visitors, council,

1138
01:18:39,119 –> 01:18:43,039
or even his wife. A man locked in solitary confinement,

1139
01:18:43,560 –> 01:18:48,840
denied all external communication cannot simultaneously be directing events outside

1140
01:18:48,880 –> 01:18:54,000
detention walls. Time itself disproves the allegation. The failure to

1141
01:18:54,119 –> 01:18:58,119
reconcile alleged acts with undisputed detention timelines is not a

1142
01:18:58,199 –> 01:19:02,479
minor evidentiary lapse. It is a collapse of basic judicial reasoning.

1143
01:19:03,279 –> 01:19:08,000
Courts that ignored timelines abandoned causation, and once causation is abandoned,

1144
01:19:08,319 –> 01:19:11,840
conviction becomes a matter of narrative convenience rather than proof.

1145
01:19:12,680 –> 01:19:17,000
These were not speculative arguments. They were admitted exhibits. Their

1146
01:19:17,039 –> 01:19:20,720
collective evaluation would have collapsed the architecture of the conviction.

1147
01:19:21,279 –> 01:19:24,680
That is precisely why they were ignored. The refusal to

1148
01:19:24,800 –> 01:19:28,960
evaluate this evidence was not accidental, It was not procedural.

1149
01:19:29,239 –> 01:19:32,920
It was outcome driven, just as Homotosho ignored them because

1150
01:19:32,960 –> 01:19:36,319
he was operating under an overriding imperative to convict by

1151
01:19:36,399 –> 01:19:40,640
all means, regardless of the evidentiary record. This is the

1152
01:19:40,720 –> 01:19:44,079
gravest danger such a judgment poses. It signals to the

1153
01:19:44,199 –> 01:19:47,880
judiciary that evidence may be admitted, buried, and raised at

1154
01:19:47,920 –> 01:19:52,239
the judgment stage without consequence. Even more disturbing is the

1155
01:19:52,359 –> 01:19:56,920
silence of major international media organizations, none of which asked

1156
01:19:56,920 –> 01:20:00,680
the most basic question any law student would pose, Why

1157
01:20:00,760 –> 01:20:03,960
did the court ignore defense evidence it had itself admitted.

1158
01:20:04,760 –> 01:20:08,640
By reproducing the conclusions of the judgment without interrogating its

1159
01:20:08,720 –> 01:20:13,159
evidentiary omissions, these media houses became unwitting accomplices in the

1160
01:20:13,239 –> 01:20:17,600
laundering of judicial misconduct. This case is no longer about

1161
01:20:17,680 –> 01:20:21,319
one man. It is about whether courts may openly disregard

1162
01:20:21,399 –> 01:20:25,000
admitted evidence and still be treated as legitimate, and whether

1163
01:20:25,079 –> 01:20:28,279
the media will continue to mask such conduct through silence.

1164
01:20:29,039 –> 01:20:32,800
A judiciary that can ignore evidence without explanation has ceased

1165
01:20:32,840 –> 01:20:35,800
to function as a court of law. A media that

1166
01:20:35,920 –> 01:20:39,800
refuses to question that silence has abdicated its public duty.

1167
01:20:40,640 –> 01:20:44,680
Together they placed the rule of law itself in existential peril.

1168
01:20:45,399 –> 01:20:49,079
Who is in Joku jude in Joku Esquire? According to
