1
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: Hey, that folks. It is Saturday, February twenty eighth, and

2
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: another breaking news update coming to us from Iran. The

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: Supreme Leader is dead, according to multiple sources, mainly President Trump.

4
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: With that, welcome to this episode of Amy and DJ Robes.

5
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: This didn't take long as we're recording this. This whole

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: operation was launched a little ower twelve but the fifteen

7
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: hours ago, and now we're getting word they have taken

8
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: out the Supreme Leader.

9
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: Ooh, this is chilling. This is significant news. And we

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: had been waiting actually because Israel had come out a

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: short while ago confirming at least I believe, they said,

12
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: we're ninety nine percent sure the Supreme Leader has been

13
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: killed in the US Israeli airstrikes. But we were waiting

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: to hear from President and Trump, who also was dancing

15
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: around and saying, we believe he's dead.

16
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: I don't want to confirm, untal I know for sure.

17
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: And then yes, just a short while ago, we got

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: confirmation from the President of the United States that Supreme

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: Leader Ali Hamone is dead.

20
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: And Ali Hamone is has been the face of this

21
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: regime for a long time. He's eighty six years old,

22
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: been in place in nineteen eighty what it is. So

23
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: he has been there and been in place for decades.

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: He serves as the head of all government. He is

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: the spiritual leader, but he is also the head and

26
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: has the final say in everything that that government does.

27
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: This is significant. We don't know who is next, but

28
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: Ropes at least right now, we're keeping an eye on

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: what's happening on the streets. Will this now spur new confidence,

30
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: new protests on the streets? Like Trump said, Hey, we're

31
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: going to take down your government. Once we do, you

32
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: need to go in there and take over yourself, telling

33
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: the people on the street. But ro this embolden them now?

34
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: It could, and I believe that is what the United

35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: States and Israel is hoping will happen.

36
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: Here's the question though.

37
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 2: Right now, Iran as of this recording, is denying that

38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: their supreme leader has been killed. You can understand why

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: they would not want that information to get out to

40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: the masses. We don't know what type of access people

41
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: there in Iran have to real information, to true information.

42
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: Are they being told that Are they even hearing the

43
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: reports that are coming now here around the world that.

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: The leader, their leader is dead? That would embolden them.

45
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: You would think to then pursue some of these rebel groups,

46
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: some of these folks who have been.

47
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: Trying to oust the government now thinking Okay, this is

48
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: our moment.

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: We've got our shot, We've got a window. But do

50
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: they have access to this information? Do they believe which

51
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: information do they believe is correct?

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: Because it was floating again as we record this, This

53
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: has been floating around for the past couple of hours,

54
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: the idea that he has in fact been killed. That

55
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: was net and Yahoo again he said it in a

56
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: certain way, All signs point to him no longer being

57
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: with us. But not long after that, the same time,

58
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: you had a foreign minister out of Iran using the

59
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: term safe and sound. He said. The President and the

60
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: Supreme Leader were both safe and sound, the word he used.

61
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: But we have a statement we just got here a

62
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: short time ago, and extended one from President Trump letting

63
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: the world know that in fact Hamone is dead.

64
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: Yes, he said, Hamone, one of the most evil people

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: in history, is dead. This is not only justice for

66
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: the people of Iran, but for all great Americans and

67
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: those people from many countries throughout the world that have

68
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: been killed or mutilated by Hamone and his gang of

69
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: blood thirsty thugs. He was unable to avoid our intelligence

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: and highly sophisticated tracking systems and working closely with Israel.

71
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: There was not a thing he or the other leaders

72
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: that have been killed along with him could do. This

73
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to

74
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: take back their country.

75
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: We are hearing that many of their.

76
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: IRGC military and other security and police forces no longer

77
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: want to fight and are looking for immunity from us.

78
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: As I said last night, Now they can have immunity.

79
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: Later they only get death. Hopefully the IRGC and police

80
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: will peacefully merge with the Iranian patriots and work together

81
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: as a unit to bring back the country to the

82
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: greatness it deserves. That process should soon be starting in

83
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 2: that not only the death of Haminae, but the country

84
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: has been in only one day very much destroyed and

85
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: even obliterated. The heavy and pinpoint bombing, however, will continue

86
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 2: uninterrupted throughout the week or as long as necessary to

87
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: achieve our objective of peace throughout the Middle East and

88
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: indeed the world.

89
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: Setting those up for a long haul. It sounds like

90
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: here rogue, but he will take this as a success.

91
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: This is a big moment. This is a big move,

92
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: certainly by this president. But he just took out the

93
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: leader of Iran, and there is this going to be

94
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: the move that really spurs change. And they do it themselves,

95
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: there's always ropes. They have a succession plan. Hamine, reported

96
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: by The New York Times earlier this year, put a

97
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: plan in place for his assassination for this exact thing.

98
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: Do they take enough of them out that that plan

99
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: is blown to bits?

100
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 3: And that is the question.

101
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 2: So, as you pointed out, he served as the leader

102
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: for thirty seven years. That is longer than we can

103
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 2: even get our heads around imagining what this will do

104
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: to this country. Yes, that is a seismic shift. But

105
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: Israeli officials have said, and we haven't gotten full confirmation,

106
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: although Trump has alluded to this as well, that several

107
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: of Iran's most senior military leaders have also been killed

108
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: along with Hamine. So they said General Muhammad Pokpoor, that's

109
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: the chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the most

110
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: powerful force in Iran. They say they've taken out the

111
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: defense minister, and they say they've taken out the former

112
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: head of the Iranian Navy and someone who is a

113
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: close advisor to Hamane. So they're claiming they basically got

114
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: out the entire top leadership in Iran.

115
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: They got dozens of dudes lined up, right, This is

116
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: a massive This is a complicated and who knows if

117
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: we have a very good handle even on this plan

118
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: he has in place, but the but who's going to

119
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: be in charge? Who's in charge even at this moment

120
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: is always the risk. But Robes, this is a this

121
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: is a rapid success, at least in this moment. They

122
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: launched this thing overnight and here we are twelve fifteen

123
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: hours later and this has taken place. I mean, Robes

124
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: is there are plenty of folks and we haven't gotten

125
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: even into this. You've seen the response isn't something to

126
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: be expected. But as we speak, there's a un Scurity Council,

127
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: the emergency session going on. Not everybody is standing up

128
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: and applauding what's going on. Certainly a lot of Democrats

129
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: are being critical. But Robes that fight at least is

130
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: happening in rooms on the battlefield. At least this appears

131
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: to be a sweeping success.

132
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: Yes, in terms of if you are thinking, you've got

133
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: a unobjective and the main objective is regime change. Yes,

134
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: within fifteen hours, they have been extremely successful if they

135
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: were able to take out all of the top leadership

136
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: in Iran with outboots on the ground. By the way,

137
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: we're just talking air strikes. We're just talking targeted air strikes.

138
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: So that is fairly significant. And we are hearing from

139
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: Carolyn Levitt folks in the White House talking about what

140
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: President Trump is doing right now behind the scenes.

141
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: As you point out, now, he has been on the phone.

142
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 2: He has been on the phone with leaders of Middle

143
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: Eastern nations, certainly much of Europe as well. Carolyn Levitt

144
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: listed many of the folks he's already been talking to.

145
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: Of course, this is going to require support. I mean,

146
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: he didn't ask for permission. I don't believe he's asking

147
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: for forgiveness, but certainly at this point now in terms

148
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: of what happens next, and just to hear him say,

149
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: the bombing is going to continue significantly for the rest

150
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: of this week and beyond, potentially even until.

151
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: What right, it didn't seem like it was that clearly divined,

152
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: until what our objective of peace throughout the Middle East, Okay,

153
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: as long as necessary to achieve our objective of peace

154
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: throughout the Middle East, and Rose he put in there

155
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: once again in this post, just like you said in

156
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: his comments yesterday, announcing that the attack was going on,

157
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: this idea of immunity. He's making an appeal to people

158
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: in Oran, citizens and military members. He's telling the citizens

159
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: to overtake your government. He's telling military members to put

160
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: down your arms and enjoining those folks. He's almost directing

161
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: a revolution from mar A Lago.

162
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that is what he is doing, so to speak.

163
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: And he's doing it because that's what the power of

164
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: the US and Israeli military is affording him, that ability

165
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: to be able to say what he wants to happen.

166
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: And while he's saying what he wants to happen, he's

167
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: making sure everyone knows in that country that he means business.

168
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: And we mentioned, of course, let's they mentioned Iran has retaliated,

169
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: and they retaligated almost immediately, and this has been going

170
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: on throughout the day. They have hit several targets throughout

171
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: the region. Stay here, we'll explain the damage at least

172
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: so far in the early reports, and where exactly Iran

173
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: has been targeting the US. To hear all right, we

174
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: continue here now on Amy and TJ. What's been a

175
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: breaking news Saturday, breaking news, last day of Ebruary. Here

176
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: as we record this, we just a short time would

177
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: go really yeah, not even half hour. Yeah, I got

178
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: word from President Trump that, in fact, the Supreme Leader

179
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: Ayatola Ayatola Ali Hamoni of Iran has been killed. There

180
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: were some back and forth robes, and the President was

181
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: asked about it a little earlier if he believed the

182
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: reports coming out of Israel that Hamone was dead, and

183
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: he said, we believe those reports are correct. His posts

184
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: just a short time ago. He's saying flat out and

185
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: saying it as fact. And that's just a remarkable moment

186
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: in Oran's history.

187
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: Really, Yes, it's one of those moments where I think

188
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 2: most people did not think they'd lived to see the

189
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: day where something like this actually would happen or would

190
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: be possible. And I was talking before the break wondering

191
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: what word had gotten into Tehran to folks there in Iran.

192
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: Do they have access to these reports that the Supreme

193
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: Leader has been killed? And the New York Times is

194
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: reporting celebration is in the streets in some neighborhoods of Tehran.

195
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 3: They say that there.

196
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,479
Speaker 2: Are residents out in the streets, cheering, dancing, lighting fireworks

197
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: just upon hearing the news that Ayatola, how many might

198
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: have been killed. So they say there obviously that word

199
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 2: has gotten out and we are starting to see folks

200
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: come out and celebrate this news.

201
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: Those pictures are going to be incredible when they start

202
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: coming out and on that, those are going to be incredible.

203
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: Iran did retaliate and robes you tell me. We were

204
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: been looking at reports in various places, but as far

205
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: as casualties or deaths on the US or the Israeli side,

206
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: I haven't seen reports somewhere of that. However, I did

207
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: see some reports of that Iran was reporting even a

208
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: school was hit and there were dozens of deaths, but

209
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 1: that's coming from Iranian officials. But I have not seen

210
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: a confirmed reporter. You go clave, well, no.

211
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: In terms of that there is something and this is yes.

212
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: The Iranian state media reports that they are claiming, according

213
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: to run, that one strike killed dozens of children at

214
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 2: a girls' elementary school. There are other news outlets again

215
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: coming out of Iran that said more than sixty people

216
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: were killed at a school near a naval base. They're

217
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: giving a death toll of eighty five dead, ninety three injured.

218
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: So New York Times reporters, some American journalists who are

219
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: there on the ground are working to confirm some of

220
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: those numbers.

221
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: But certainly we heard and.

222
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: Saw President Trump say and reiterate that there will be casualties,

223
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 2: and he said there could even be American casualties when

224
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: all is said and done during this time, because he

225
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 2: said this is going to be a massive, massive bombardment,

226
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: and so he predicted this. He said there would be

227
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: mass casualties, and he prepared Americans that some of our

228
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: own may be a part of those numbers.

229
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: And Iran, at least we haven't seen that anyone based

230
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: on the strikes that Iran has long launched, that there

231
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: are casualties to report, deaths to report associated to that.

232
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: But they have hit at least eight or going after

233
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: at least eight targets, eight things in the region, I

234
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: should say from let's see cutter, Bahrain, we mentioned Kuwait, Jordan, Israel.

235
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: I think a lot of pictures are coming out of Dubai,

236
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: in particular because there's a scene there with the hotel,

237
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: and those pictures are bringing incredible that a hotel there

238
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: is on fire.

239
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: Yes, that's disturbing.

240
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: And then Israel there are they say they are severe

241
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: sever your missile strikes that hit a building complex in

242
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: the central.

243
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 3: District of Israel.

244
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: So they say there are several buildings that are on

245
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: fire right now. Patients being taken out of a hospital

246
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: nearby it's on fire as well. So yes, there is

247
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: absolute damage, debris and casualties coming at or at least

248
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: in terms of just injuries and damage happening with Iran

249
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: fighting back. And so yes, I imagine until the US

250
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 2: and Israel feel like they have taken out all of

251
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: Iran's ability to put up these drones and send these missiles. Yes,

252
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: that bombardment will continue in Tehran and around the region.

253
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: But one thing we have not seen for sure or

254
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: since this all started, is the leader of Iran come

255
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: out and give an address to the nation and address

256
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: the Iranian people. No sign of the president, no sign

257
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: of Hamone, who they say now is dead. No word

258
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: on the president yet. But we have not seen a

259
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: leader come out, So that is telling given all that's

260
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: going on.

261
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, and they mentioned not even on social media,

262
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: so you know, people there in Iran and in Tehran

263
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 2: are looking to see what are we getting from the government,

264
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: what are we hearing from the government, And the answer

265
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: is nothing.

266
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 3: And so that certainly was adding to the fueled rumors that.

267
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 2: Hamone, Hamone and many of the leaders were already gone,

268
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: already dead.

269
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: Okay, and you say they have And again, I want

270
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: to give a New York Times credit. We've been following

271
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: some of their some of their reporting live updates all day,

272
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: but they have just posted robes you talk about, we

273
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: haven't even heard from him on social media. That is

274
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: the exact thing they just put up here is that

275
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: Haminae's official account on x posted a photo and the

276
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: way the New York Times reporter here is putting it

277
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: that seems to suggest that the leader is dead. It's

278
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: an image of him with a you see this now

279
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: with the clerical figure with a sword on fire and

280
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: includes a battle cry and at least being interpreted as

281
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: a suggestion that he has passed. So that is the

282
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: very related this story literally has it changes every minute,

283
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: and that's been the case all day, folks. But yeah,
