Trump's war in Iran, it's accelerating.

0:02.0

And what he himself called the worst case scenario,

0:04.4

it may already be happening. The next Supreme Leader could be just as bad as the last one, except this time, his wife, his mom, and his son were all killed in American strikes. Right, and that is the death told Iran may have passed 1,0006 American troops who are dead. And this morning, you had Pete Heggseth going on camera to promise more and larger waves of attacks and describing death and destruction from the sky all day long

0:23.1

with the enthusiasm as someone who's never been on the receiving end of it. Right this morning, Hexedth made it clear. This is ramping up, not winding down. He said the assault on Iran is accelerating, not decelerating, that more bombers and more fighters are arriving in the region today and that additional American casualties are unexpected and acceptable costs. You also had General Dan Cain, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, reporting that Iran's ballistic

0:41.1

missile strikes are down 86% from day one and drone strikes are down 73%. And so with that you

0:46.0

had Hexeth claiming at the U.S. and Israel will soon have complete control of Iranian skies.

0:50.3

I hope all the folks watching understand what uncontested airspace and complete control means.

0:57.6

It means we will fly all day, all night, day and night, finding, fixing and finishing the missiles

1:05.4

and defense industrial base of the Iranian military. And Iran will be able to do nothing about it. B-2s, B-52s, B-1s,

1:14.6

predator drones, fighters controlling the skies, picking targets, death and destruction from the sky

1:22.1

all day long. He then highlighted specific operations, revealing the U.S. Inc. and Iranian naval ship with a crew of 180 off the coast of Sri Lanka using a submarine-launched torpedo, which is the first time an American submarine's actually been used to fire torpedo against an enemy ship in combat since World War II. And he had Sri Lankan officials initially reporting the incident without a known cause, saying that 30 people were rescued with a search underway for survivors. He also said that the leader of the Iranian covert unit that planned to assassinate Trump back in

1:46.0

24 was killed in the strikes and he praised yesterday's hit on a building associated with the assembly of experts.

1:51.0

Iran's senior leaders are dead.

1:53.0

The so-called governing council that might have selected a successor,

1:57.0

dead, missing, or cowering in bunkers too terrified to even occupy the same room. But here's also the problem or a potential problem. You had the Iranian media downplaying the assembly strike, which isn't the most unexpected, but whatever is left to the council, they're apparently still moving ahead with choosing a new supreme leader. With that, you had Trump saying that the worst case scenario would be a successor as bad as the previous person. And while there's been no official announcement yet, at least as of recording, it's looking increasingly likely that their pick will be the former Supreme Leader's own son, a reported hardliner who's believed to be favored by top revolutionary guard officials. And what I said at the beginning, that's not a hypothetical. He didn't lose just his father in Saturday strikes. He reportedly lost his wife, his mother, and his son as well. So you have many experts guessing that this is not going to be the subservient figurehead that the White House was hoping for.

2:37.4

But with that, you had Israel. He reportedly lost his wife, his mother, and his son as well. And so you've many experts guessing that this is not going to be the subservient figurehead

2:36.2

that the White House was hoping for.

2:37.4

But with that, you had Israel's defense minister already vowing that if the next Supreme

2:40.6

Leader follows the same ideology, he'll become an unequivocal target for elimination.

2:44.7

Also, you had Hegset downplaying reports that munitions stockpiles were running low, arguing

2:48.5

that air dominance means that the military can rely on conventional bombs rather than its most advanced and limited weapons.

2:53.6

Hexeth is saying they'll be using 500 pound, 1,000 pound, 2,000 pound precision and unguided bombs of which we have a nearly unlimited stockpile.
