| 0:00.0 | The US and Israel are losing their war against Iran. Big statement, I know, but will show the evidence. |
| 0:05.5 | This is clearly what all the signs are pointing towards. To be fair, a loss for both aggressors |
| 0:10.4 | means different things. Israel wants chaos and a state of permanent war, which means achieving |
