00:00:04,080 –> 00:00:08,000
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
00:00:13,119 –> 00:00:16,559
Iran is confident that its soldiers can confront US ground
5
00:00:16,640 –> 00:00:20,079
troops and if the United States actually decided to begin
6
00:00:20,239 –> 00:00:23,559
ground troops invasion in Iran, it will be a disaster
7
00:00:23,640 –> 00:00:26,719
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
00:00:37,200 –> 00:00:41,439
an exclusive interview with NBC News Media on Thursday, the
12
00:00:41,560 –> 00:00:44,320
U S Secretary of War Pete Takes has visited the
13
00:00:44,479 –> 00:00:48,200
U S Central Command SENTKAM headquarters at McDill Air Force
14
00:00:48,320 –> 00:00:51,799
Base in Tampa area of Florida, apparently for a high
15
00:00:51,920 –> 00:00:54,880
level briefing and next plan of action discussed with the
16
00:00:54,960 –> 00:01:00,320
SENTCAM commander, Admiral Bradcooper. This local media in Iran reported
17
00:01:00,439 –> 00:01:04,680
on Friday, warning 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
S soldiers. According to the Iranian Red Crescent Society on
24
00:01:27,519 –> 00:01:31,400
March six, twenty twenty six, over one thousand, three hundred
25
00:01:31,599 –> 00:01:34,480

start of the war on February twenty eighth, twenty twenty six,
27
00:01:38,959 –> 00:01:42,519
HENGOR Organization for Human Rights. In an earlier report in
28
00:01:42,560 –> 00:01:46,400
the conflict, on March second, the Norway based NGOs stated
29
00:01:46,439 –> 00:01:50,760
that at least one thousand, five hundred deaths, specifically identifying
30
00:01:50,840 –> 00:01:54,519
one thousand, three hundred Iranian military members and two hundred
31
00:01:54,599 –> 00:01:59,359
civilians among the fallen, while the United Nations International Children’s
32
00:01:59,359 –> 00:02:03,799
Emergency Fund YUNISEEV confirmed that of the more than one thousand,
33
00:02:03,840 –> 00:02:07,359
three hundred total fatalities, at least one hundred and eighty
34
00:02:07,400 –> 00:02:11,759
one are children. This includes approximately one hundred and seventy
35
00:02:11,800 –> 00:02:14,599
five children killed in a single strike at a girl’s
36
00:02:14,719 –> 00:02:19,000
primary school in the Manab area of Iran Foundation of
37
00:02:19,080 –> 00:02:23,680
Martyrs and Veterans Affairs. The official Iranian government agency reported
38
00:02:23,719 –> 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
00:02:36,439 –> 00:02:40,360
confirmed nine fatalities, specifically from a direct ballistic missile hit
42
00:02:40,400 –> 00:02:43,319
on a public shelter in Bade Schamesh on March first.
43
00:02:44,120 –> 00:02:47,879
The Israeli police, in an official police report, identified nine
44
00:02:47,960 –> 00:02:50,719
killed in Baite 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 –> 00:02:58,560
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
00:03:08,039 –> 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 –> 00:03:19,759
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
00:03:23,639 –> 00:03:28,439
Those killed included Sergeant Declan J. Cody, aged twenty, Captain
55
00:03:28,479 –> 00:03:33,039
Cody A. Cork aged thirty five, Sergeant first class Nicole
56
00:03:33,240 –> 00:03:37,680
m Aimer aged thirty nine, Sergeant first Class No. Attachans
57
00:03:38,039 –> 00:03:42,240
aged forty two, Major Jeffrey O’Brien aged forty five, and
58
00:03:42,400 –> 00:03:46,960
Chief Warrant Officer three c W three Robert Mbrsen, aged
59
00:03:47,039 –> 00:03:50,719
fifty four. All six soldiers were said to be assigned
60
00:03:50,719 –> 00:03:53,639
to the one hundred and third Sustainment Command based in
61
00:03:53,680 –> 00:03:57,240
Des Moines, Iowa, and died following an Iranian drone attack
62
00:03:57,319 –> 00:04:01,960
on a tactical operation center at Portschweiper, Kuwait, on March first,
63
00:04:02,000 –> 00:04:06,560
twenty twenty six. U s Secretary of War Pete Hesath
64
00:04:06,639 –> 00:04:10,439
stated that the casualties primarily occurred when a projectile breached
65
00:04:10,479 –> 00:04:14,000
air defenses and struck a tactical operation center at a
66
00:04:14,039 –> 00:04:19,759
military base in Kuwait. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps IRGC
67
00:04:20,040 –> 00:04:24,120
has provided much higher figures, which US officials have dismissed
68
00:04:24,120 –> 00:04:30,399
as propaganda. IRGC spokesperson Brigadier General Ali Muhammad Neoni claimed
69
00:04:30,439 –> 00:04:34,439
that six hundred and fifty American soldiers were killed or
70
00:04:34,480 –> 00:04:38,319
wounded during the first two days of the conflict. Nierni
71
00:04:38,399 –> 00:04:41,920
alleged that one hundred and sixty of these casualties resulted
72
00:04:41,959 –> 00:04:45,800
from strikes on the US Navy’s fifth Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain.
73
00:04:46,600 –> 00:04:50,399
Iran also claimed to have struck the USS Abraham Lincoln
74
00:04:50,439 –> 00:04:55,120
aircraft carrier with four crew’s missiles, saying the warship was
75
00:04:55,160 –> 00:04:58,720
forced to flee towards the Indian Ocean. He warned on
76
00:04:58,839 –> 00:05:01,879
state TV that the gates of hell will open more
77
00:05:01,920 –> 00:05:06,680
and more for the US and Israel, promising continuous funitive attacks.
78
00:05:07,439 –> 00:05:10,800
He announced that Iran is prepared for a prolonged war
79
00:05:11,120 –> 00:05:15,360
and will soon deploy advanced strategic weaponry and innovations that
80
00:05:15,439 –> 00:05:18,399
have not yet been used on a large scale. The
81
00:05:18,560 –> 00:05:21,639
U S sentum in numbers of posts stated that the
82
00:05:21,680 –> 00:05:26,199
Iranian regime is using mobile launchers to indiscriminately fire missiles
83
00:05:26,199 –> 00:05:29,279
in an attempt to inflict maximum harm across the region.
84
00:05:30,160 –> 00:05:32,920
U S forces are hunting these threads down and without
85
00:05:32,959 –> 00:05:37,240
apology or hesitation, we are taking them out. Iran’s i
86
00:05:37,480 –> 00:05:40,879
RGC claims to have struck U S. S Abraham Lincoln
87
00:05:40,959 –> 00:05:45,480
with ballistic missiles. Lie. The Lincoln was not hit. The
88
00:05:45,560 –> 00:05:49,759
missiles launch didn’t even come close. The Lincoln continues to
89
00:05:49,800 –> 00:05:53,240
launch air craft in support of Senkam’s relentless campaign to
90
00:05:53,279 –> 00:05:57,399
defend the American people by eliminating threats from the Iranian regime.
91
00:05:58,199 –> 00:06:02,439
The Iranian regimes false messaging machine continues to falsely claim
92
00:06:02,519 –> 00:06:06,040
that it has sunk a US aircraft carrier. The only
93
00:06:06,160 –> 00:06:09,000
carrier that has been here is the Shahid Battery, an
94
00:06:09,040 –> 00:06:13,519
Iranian drone carrier. US forces struck the ship within hours
95
00:06:13,519 –> 00:06:18,680
of launching Operation Epic Fury. Major combat operations continue and
96
00:06:18,759 –> 00:06:22,920
our response effort is ongoing. During a UN Security Council
97
00:06:23,040 –> 00:06:26,959
meeting yesterday, the Iranian ambassador to the UN stated their
98
00:06:27,000 –> 00:06:30,560
response has been directed solely and exclusively at the bases
99
00:06:30,639 –> 00:06:35,160
and assets of the United States live. The Iranian regime
100
00:06:35,240 –> 00:06:38,199
is actively targeting civilians and has attacked more than a
101
00:06:38,240 –> 00:06:44,839
dozen locations, including Dubai International Airport, Kuwait International Airport, Zaid
102
00:06:44,959 –> 00:06:52,560
International Airport, Dubai Able International Airport, Iraq, Fairmont Palm Hotel, Dubai,
103
00:06:52,800 –> 00:06:58,439
Burj al Arab Hotel, Dubai, Crown Plaza, Hotel, Bahrain, Port
104
00:06:58,480 –> 00:07:04,120
of Dubai, residential in bade Schemesh, Israel, residential areas in
105
00:07:04,160 –> 00:07:09,160
Tel Aviv, Israel, residential area of Era Used Towers, Bahrain,
106
00:07:09,639 –> 00:07:14,759
residential areas in Qatar. When NBC presenter asked the Iranian
107
00:07:14,839 –> 00:07:18,480
Foreign Minister Abyss Arachi, are you afraid of a U
108
00:07:18,560 –> 00:07:22,240
S invasion in your country? Arachi replied and said no,
109
00:07:22,839 –> 00:07:26,800
we are waiting for them. Arachi explicitly stated that Iran
110
00:07:27,000 –> 00:07:30,759
is not asking for a ceasefire or the continuation of
111
00:07:30,800 –> 00:07:34,000
the war by waiting for the U S ground troops invasion,
112
00:07:34,360 –> 00:07:37,399
and while saying Iran sees no reason to negotiate with
113
00:07:37,439 –> 00:07:40,040
the U S at this time. He also said that
114
00:07:40,079 –> 00:07:43,759
Iran now has more quality resources based on lessons learned
115
00:07:43,800 –> 00:07:48,000
from previous war, adding Iranian soldiers can handle U S
116
00:07:48,040 –> 00:07:53,560
ground troops, reiterating Iran is waiting for a potential U
117
00:07:53,680 –> 00:07:57,519
S ground invasion, characterizing such an offensive as a big
118
00:07:57,560 –> 00:08:02,360
disaster for American troops. Arachi had earlier labeled a recent
119
00:08:02,560 –> 00:08:06,399
U S strike on an unarmed Iranian navy training shiver
120
00:08:06,800 –> 00:08:11,319
war crime. Arachi accused President Donald Tromp of who traying
121
00:08:11,399 –> 00:08:16,839
diplomacy by treating complex nuclear negotiations like a real estate transaction.
122
00:08:17,759 –> 00:08:21,399
He claimed there is clear evidence that U S forces
123
00:08:21,439 –> 00:08:24,480
are actively co operating with Israel in recent attacks on
124
00:08:24,560 –> 00:08:28,680
Iranian soil. He cautioned that a full military conflict would
125
00:08:28,720 –> 00:08:32,200
be disastrous for the entire region due to the presence
126
00:08:32,200 –> 00:08:36,000
of U S military bases across the Middle East. China
127
00:08:36,039 –> 00:08:39,879
and Russia are supporting Iran primarily through high level diplomatic
128
00:08:39,960 –> 00:08:44,320
protection and critical military technology, though they have notably refrained
129
00:08:44,320 –> 00:08:49,200
from direct military intervention during the current conflict. Both nations
130
00:08:49,240 –> 00:08:53,240
requested an emergency session of that U n Security Council
131
00:08:53,320 –> 00:08:57,759
to address recent US and Israeli strikes. China and Russia
132
00:08:57,799 –> 00:09:02,639
have officially labeled the attacks grave violations of Iranian sovereignty
133
00:09:02,679 –> 00:09:07,360
and war crimes. Russia has publicly stated there is no
134
00:09:07,440 –> 00:09:12,399
evidence of Iran seeking a nuclear bomb, countering Western justifications
135
00:09:12,399 –> 00:09:16,559
for the strikes. They continue to legitimize the Iranian government
136
00:09:16,639 –> 00:09:19,919
by deepening its roles in bricks and the Shanghai Cooperation
137
00:09:20,159 –> 00:09:25,679
Organization SCO reports indicated that Russia has begun delivering SU
138
00:09:25,799 –> 00:09:29,080
thirty five fighter jets and S four hundred air defense
139
00:09:29,159 –> 00:09:32,720
components to help Iran detect stealth aircraft like the F
140
00:09:32,799 –> 00:09:38,000
thirty five. China has transitioned Iran’s military from US GPS
141
00:09:38,000 –> 00:09:42,320
to its own Bei Doo U three navigation system, which
142
00:09:42,360 –> 00:09:47,679
provides jam resistant high precision targeting for Iranian missiles. Both
143
00:09:47,720 –> 00:09:53,000
allies share real time satellite imagery and signals intelligence SIGINT
144
00:09:53,200 –> 00:09:57,639
to help Tehran monitor US and Israeli troop movements before
145
00:09:57,720 –> 00:10:00,240
the new war started. It could be recalled that in
146
00:10:00,320 –> 00:10:04,360
late February twenty twenty six, the three nations conducted the
147
00:10:04,440 –> 00:10:08,480
Maritime Security Bell twenty twenty six naval drills in the
148
00:10:08,480 –> 00:10:13,639
Strait of Homas to demonstrate strategic alignment. Meanwhile, Al Jazeera
149
00:10:13,759 –> 00:10:17,639
reported on Thursday the top Iranian official, Ali Larijani has
150
00:10:17,679 –> 00:10:20,639
stressed that his country is prepared to confront a possible
151
00:10:20,679 –> 00:10:24,159
invasion from the United States, pledging to capture and kill
152
00:10:24,320 –> 00:10:28,120
U S troops if they enter the country. Thursday’s statement
153
00:10:28,240 –> 00:10:32,480
comes as U S officials, including President Donald Trump, refused
154
00:10:32,480 –> 00:10:37,360
to rule out deploying forces inside Iran. Larajani, who serves
155
00:10:37,360 –> 00:10:41,120
as the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran,
156
00:10:41,519 –> 00:10:45,799
warned that such actions would have dire consequences. Some American
157
00:10:45,840 –> 00:10:49,360
officials have stated that they intend to enter Iranian territory
158
00:10:49,440 –> 00:10:53,039
on the ground with several thousand troops, Larijani said in
159
00:10:53,080 –> 00:10:57,200
a statement. He then added appointed reference to Iran’s former
160
00:10:57,279 –> 00:11:01,799
Supreme leaders Ruhollahomeni and Alikos, the latter of whom was
161
00:11:01,919 –> 00:11:05,559
killed on Saturday in a joint US Israeli strike. The
162
00:11:05,679 –> 00:11:09,080
valiant sons of Imam Hormeni and Imam Company are waiting
163
00:11:09,120 –> 00:11:12,720
for you, ready to disgrace those corrupt American officials by
164
00:11:12,759 –> 00:11:17,279
killing and capturing thousands, he said. Lara Janni, who was
165
00:11:17,320 –> 00:11:21,080
a close adviser to the assassinated Supreme leader, is believed
166
00:11:21,159 –> 00:11:23,519
to be one of the most powerful figures in Iran.
167
00:11:24,279 –> 00:11:27,480
An apparent pro U S Government Facebook user with the
168
00:11:27,519 –> 00:11:32,240
account handle Donald Trump for President clarifies issues related to
169
00:11:32,279 –> 00:11:35,360
some U. S pilots seen during ejecting from their fighter
170
00:11:35,440 –> 00:11:39,399
jets for safety in Kuwait. According to the Facebook user,
171
00:11:39,440 –> 00:11:42,759
in numbers of posts, in one of which titled Kuwaiti
172
00:11:42,840 –> 00:11:46,440
rushes to aid down female American pilot, thank you for
173
00:11:46,480 –> 00:11:50,240
helping us. In the desert heat of Operation Epic Fury,
174
00:11:50,639 –> 00:11:53,480
a female U S F one five E Strike Eagle
175
00:11:53,519 –> 00:11:56,960
pilot ejected safely after her jet was tragically damned by
176
00:11:57,039 –> 00:12:01,399
friendly fire from Kuwaiti air defenses as she touched down
177
00:12:01,440 –> 00:12:04,799
in the sand at sunset. A local Kuwaiti man sprinted
178
00:12:04,879 –> 00:12:07,879
across the dunes to reach her first, beating every one
179
00:12:08,000 –> 00:12:11,600
else to the scene. Are you fine, you are safe.
180
00:12:11,919 –> 00:12:15,000
Thank you for helping us, the man told her, his
181
00:12:15,120 –> 00:12:20,080
voice carrying gratitude for America’s role in regional security. Sentcom
182
00:12:20,200 –> 00:12:24,440
confirmed all six American Air crew three F fifteen s total,
183
00:12:24,840 –> 00:12:28,879
ejected safely, were recovered within hours, and are in stable condition.
184
00:12:29,759 –> 00:12:33,159
Kuwait has acknowledged the error amid the confusion of Iranian
185
00:12:33,200 –> 00:12:37,799
missiles and drone barrages. The moment highlights the human side
186
00:12:37,799 –> 00:12:41,440
of coalition warfare. A civilian rushing to assist a foreign
187
00:12:41,440 –> 00:12:46,000
pilot in distress, underscoring the complexity of modern military operations
188
00:12:46,039 –> 00:12:50,000
and the bonds between partner nations. God blessed the service
189
00:12:50,080 –> 00:12:53,480
members who risked their lives in dangerous missions and the
190
00:12:53,519 –> 00:12:56,519
civilians who stepped forward to help when it matters most.
191
00:12:57,320 –> 00:13:00,480
On March second, twenty twenty six, three, the U. S
192
00:13:00,559 –> 00:13:03,879
Air Force F one five E Strike Eagles were accidentally
193
00:13:03,919 –> 00:13:08,840
shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses during high intensity operations
194
00:13:08,879 –> 00:13:13,480
against Iranian targets under Operation Epic Fury. All six pilots
195
00:13:13,519 –> 00:13:17,320
ejected safely and were recovered within hours by coalition forces.
196
00:13:17,360 –> 00:13:22,360
In stable condition. No local civilian assistance was needed. Each
197
00:13:22,440 –> 00:13:26,639
pilot carried the standard blood chit, a small, rugged fabric
198
00:13:26,679 –> 00:13:29,759
patch sown into flight gear with a clear, multi lingual clea.
199
00:13:30,480 –> 00:13:33,559
I am an American and I do not speak your language.
200
00:13:33,799 –> 00:13:38,519
I will do you no harm. Please give me food, water, shelter,
201
00:13:38,960 –> 00:13:43,840
clothing and a doctor. Help me reach American or friendly forces.
202
00:13:44,240 –> 00:13:47,639
When you provide my name and this number to US authorities,
203
00:13:48,039 –> 00:13:53,320
you will be rewarded. Printed in English, Arabic, Turkish, Persian
204
00:13:53,600 –> 00:13:56,919
and Kurdish, the blood chit is a proven World War
205
00:13:57,000 –> 00:14:00,000
II era a survival measure that promises cash rewards head.
206
00:14:01,240 –> 00:14:05,000
In this case, thanks to rapid U S Kuwaiti coordination,
207
00:14:05,480 –> 00:14:08,840
the chips remained in the pilot’s gear, unnecessary but ready.
208
00:14:09,559 –> 00:14:13,120
The incident reminds us that even among close allies, the
209
00:14:13,159 –> 00:14:16,759
fog of war can strike hard. Yet swift recovery and
210
00:14:16,840 –> 00:14:20,440
strong coalition response kept American air and safe and mission
211
00:14:20,519 –> 00:14:23,960
focus intact. The fog of war nearly led to a
212
00:14:24,000 –> 00:14:27,240
tragedy in the Al Jara area of Kuwait today, but
213
00:14:27,360 –> 00:14:30,279
a viral video is showing the world how quickly a
214
00:14:30,399 –> 00:14:35,360
violent situation turned into a heroic rescue after three U
215
00:14:35,480 –> 00:14:38,720
S F one five E Strike Eagles were mistakenly down
216
00:14:38,840 –> 00:14:43,360
by Kuwaiti air defenses in a friendly fire incident. One
217
00:14:43,360 –> 00:14:46,720
of our pilots found himself surrounded by a group of intents,
218
00:14:47,039 –> 00:14:51,679
shouting locals in the heat of operation apic Fury. Tensions
219
00:14:51,679 –> 00:14:54,720
are at a breaking point across the gulf when the
220
00:14:54,840 –> 00:14:58,320
jets spiraled down in flames. Locals rushed to the scene.
221
00:14:58,679 –> 00:15:03,399
Witnesses include ding Ahmed Alassar. Initially thought the parachuting airman
222
00:15:03,559 –> 00:15:06,159
was an Iranian pilot from the regime that has been
223
00:15:06,240 –> 00:15:11,000
launching reckless strikes across the region. The footage shows a
224
00:15:11,039 –> 00:15:15,320
crowd closing in, shouting in Arabic as the pilot, clutching
225
00:15:15,360 –> 00:15:22,120
his equipment, desperately identifies himself American, American over here. The
226
00:15:22,159 –> 00:15:25,440
second the crowd realized he was an American ally, the
227
00:15:25,600 –> 00:15:30,120
energy shifted instantly. You can hear the locals shouting Carla’s,
228
00:15:30,639 –> 00:15:35,120
Carla’s stop. Stop to hold back the more aggressive members
229
00:15:35,120 –> 00:15:38,840
and begin the rescue. What started as a confrontation ended
230
00:15:38,879 –> 00:15:41,679
with the pilot being shielded and comforted by the very
231
00:15:41,720 –> 00:15:45,159
people he’s in the region to protect. The pilot was
232
00:15:45,240 –> 00:15:48,879
given shelter in a vehicle and checked for injuries. One
233
00:15:49,000 –> 00:15:52,159
local can be heard reassuring him in English, how you
234
00:15:52,279 –> 00:15:57,720
feel in It’s okay, brother, come. Despite the friendly fire
235
00:15:58,240 –> 00:16:01,559
error caused by the chaos of the massive Iranian drone
236
00:16:01,600 –> 00:16:05,159
and missile swarm, Create has acknowledged the mistake and is
237
00:16:05,200 –> 00:16:08,639
working hand in hand with the Trump Hexas team to
238
00:16:08,799 –> 00:16:10,279
ensure it doesn’t happen again.
239
00:16:10,960 –> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: Boots on the ground in Iran, are you afraid of
240
00:16:14,120 –> 00:16:16,159
a US invasion in your country?
241
00:16:17,039 –> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: No, we are waiting for them.
242
00:16:20,519 –> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: You are waiting for the US military to invade the
243
00:16:22,720 –> 00:16:27,440
ground troops? Yes, because we are confident that we can
244
00:16:27,480 –> 00:16:33,519
confront them and that would be a big disaster for them.
245
00:16:33,639 –> 00:16:36,279
Speaker 2: 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 –> 00:16:41,919
Speaker 1: When we are ready for this war.
249
00:16:43,080 –> 00:16:47,159
Speaker 3: Even more than the previous war. So you can see,
250
00:16:47,720 –> 00:16:49,960
you know the quality of our b size, how much
251
00:16:49,960 –> 00:16:52,879
they are upgraded after the last war, because we learn
252
00:16:53,000 –> 00:16:54,320
lots of lessons and.
253
00:16:54,279 –> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: We are prepared for.
254
00:16:55,240 –> 00:17:00,279
Speaker 3: Any other eventuality, even you know, a ground invasion. So
255
00:17:00,720 –> 00:17:04,200
our soldiers are prepared for any scenario. When I said
256
00:17:04,240 –> 00:17:06,559
that the rating for them. It didn’t mean that the
257
00:17:06,640 –> 00:17:09,960
are rating for continuation of the war. No, but we
258
00:17:10,079 –> 00:17:15,160
have prepared ourselves to confront with any scenario, with any eventuality,
259
00:17:15,200 –> 00:17:17,720
any possibility, and we know that we can handle that.
260
00:17:18,920 –> 00:17:19,799
Speaker 1: Are your allies?
261
00:17:19,880 –> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: Are your allies Russia and China helping you?
262
00:17:23,880 –> 00:17:30,759
Speaker 3: Well, they are supporting us so politically and otherwise.
263
00:17:33,200 –> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 4: Well, most of the people we had in mind are dead.
264
00:17:35,759 –> 00:17:38,119
So we had some in mind from that group that
265
00:17:38,920 –> 00:17:43,480
is dead, and now we have another group that may
266
00:17:43,480 –> 00:17:47,720
be there also based on report. So I guess you
267
00:17:47,720 –> 00:17:49,680
have a third wave coming, and I’m pretty sure we’re
268
00:17:49,720 –> 00:17:50,720
not going to know anybody.
269
00:17:51,440 –> 00:17:55,079
Speaker 2: The Iranian Air Force is no more built for nineteen
270
00:17:55,160 –> 00:17:59,920
ninety six, destroyed in twenty twenty six. The Iranian name
271
00:18:00,319 –> 00:18:06,640
rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf combat ineffective, decimated, destroyed, defeated,
272
00:18:07,400 –> 00:18:10,960
pick your adjective. In fact, last night we sunk their
273
00:18:11,000 –> 00:18:17,119
prize ship, the Solomoni. Looks like Potus got him twice.
274
00:18:18,480 –> 00:18:21,279
They’re Navy, not a factor. Pick your adjective. It is
275
00:18:21,359 –> 00:18:26,200
no more in fact, yesterday in the Indian Ocean, and
276
00:18:26,240 –> 00:18:30,119
we’ll play it on screen. There an American submarine sunk
277
00:18:30,160 –> 00:18:36,400
an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead,
278
00:18:36,400 –> 00:18:40,960
it was sunk by a torpedo, quiet death, the first
279
00:18:41,000 –> 00:18:43,400
sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World
280
00:18:43,480 –> 00:18:47,599
War II. Starting last night and to be completed in
281
00:18:47,640 –> 00:18:50,920
a few days. In under a week, the two most
282
00:18:50,960 –> 00:18:54,920
powerful air forces in the world will have complete control
283
00:18:55,039 –> 00:18:59,799
of Iranian skies, uncontested airspace. I hope all the folks
284
00:18:59,799 –> 00:19:05,440
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 –> 00:19:43,960
every minute of every day. Until we decide t in Iran,
292
00:19:44,680 –> 00:19:48,240
we’ll be able to do nothing about it. B two
293
00:19:48,319 –> 00:19:51,440
S B fifty two s B ones predator drones, fighters
294
00:19:51,759 –> 00:19:57,000
controlling the skies, picking targets, death and destruction from the
295
00:19:57,039 –> 00:20:03,400
sky all day long. We’re playing for keys. Our war
296
00:20:03,440 –> 00:20:06,880
fighters have a 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
00:20:12,000 –> 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 –> 00:20:28,799
they’re down, which is exactly how it should be. Thus far,
302
00:20:28,920 –> 00:20:32,200
Operation Epic Fury has delivered twice the air power of
303
00:20:32,279 –> 00:20:35,240
shock and awe of Iraq in two thousand and three.
304
00:20:35,680 –> 00:20:40,880
Minus Paul Bremer and the nation building, the campaign has
305
00:20:41,079 –> 00:20:44,920
seven times the intensity of Israel’s previous operations against Iran
306
00:20:45,119 –> 00:20:49,599
during the Twelve Day War, seven times, And as President
307
00:20:49,640 –> 00:20:53,079
Trump said, more and larger waves are coming. We are
308
00:20:53,240 –> 00:20:59,440
just getting started. We are accelerating, not decelerating. Iran’s capabilities
309
00:20:59,480 –> 00:21:02,079
are a vapor eating by the hour, while American strength
310
00:21:02,119 –> 00:21:06,799
grows fiercer, smarter, and utterly dominant. More bombers, more fighters
311
00:21:07,079 –> 00:21:08,200
are arriving just
312
00:21:08,440 –> 00:21:13,519

These purposes are part of the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework.
Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes presented here.
Examples:
Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Examples:
A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Examples:
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Examples:
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Examples:
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Examples:
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Examples:
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Examples:
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Examples:
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
