So people are dying across the Middle East right now, at least 555 in Iran, including what

may be 165 schoolgirls, four American troops are dead, and the No More Wars president's telling

us there's likely more death to come.

And this is the U.S. attacked Iran without congressional authorization, without UN backing

and according to the Pentagon's own closed door briefings, without intelligence that Iran

was about to attack us first. So let's break down what is actually happening, what it's costing, and what comes next. Starting with how it started, right? Because the last chance to avoid this, it played out on Thursday in Geneva. U.S. officials told Iran to give up uranium enrichment entirely for 10 years. Iran's foreign ministers said that enrichment was an inalienable right, and Trump envoy, Steve Whitkoff, fired backff fired back that the US had an inalienable right to stop them. And then two days later, the bombs started falling. The CIA had reportedly been tracking their supreme leader's location for months. When the agency learned that he and some of the country's top military and intelligence officials would all be together above ground at a government compound in central Tehran, the timeline changed. Because the US and Israel had actually originally planned a strike at night. This was apparently just too good to pass up. And so at Saturday around 9.40 a.m., local time, long-range missiles hit the compound, killing the man who had ruled Iran since 1989. And you had near simultaneous strikes at two other locations, altogether killing some 40 senior figures, including the head

of the Revolutionary Guard and the country's defense minister. With then U.S. Central Command

announcing Operation Epic Fury, and about an hour later, Trump posted an eight-minute video.

Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime,

a vicious group of very hard, terrible people.

Its menacing activities directly in danger, the United States, our troops, our bases overseas,

and our allies throughout the world. The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost,

and we may have casualties that often happens in war.

Trump also claimed that this was necessary because Iran rejected every opportunity

to renounce their nuclear ambitions, and then he told the Iranian people directly.

When we are finished, take over your government.

It will be yours to take. Then hours later, Trump confirming the supreme Leader's death, calling him one of the most evil people in history and saying,

heavy and pinpoint bombing will continue uninterrupted throughout the week or as long as necessary.

And the second wave of strikes had actually begun almost immediately after the attack on the Supreme Leader,

targeting Iran's air defense, especially surface-to-air missile batteries

guarding the Capitol. By midday Sunday, Israel said that it had achieved air supremacy, with a former Israeli Air Force commander, putting it bluntly, saying Iran right now is totally exposed to airstrikes. It's only for U.S. forces and the Israeli Air Force to decide where, when, and how. And then the next wave, they went after Iran's ballistic missile systems, right, munitions, launchers, cruise, storehouses, production sites,

and you had Israel deploying 200 fighter jets and what it called its largest air operation in history. As far as how it was divided, you had Israel taking Western Iran and the US taking the east. And you also had Trump targeting Iran's navy posting, I've just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk nine Iranian naval ships and adding, we are going after the rest. They will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea also. With the U.S. and Israel also striking dozens of military command centers, including the main IRGC headquarters. With Suncom posting, the IRGC killed more than a thousand Americans over the past 47 years. Yesterday, a large-scale U.S. strike cut off the head of the snake. And so with all this, as of recording, you have the Iranian Red Crescent Society reporting that the attacks on 131 cities have killed at least 555 people. The most horrific attack we've heard about so far apparently happened on Saturday. But with Iranian state media reporting that U.S. Israeli strikes at a girl's school killing 165 people, mostly children. You also at the New York Times verifying videos and images showing at least half the school destroyed. But they're being reported that the school sits next to a revolutionary guard naval base and footage shows emergency workers and families digging through the rubble littered with school books and bags covered in blood and ash. As far as Iran, they're not just kind of absorbing this quietly. They've been hitting back at Israel and the Arab Gulf states that are hosting U.S. forces and the damage, I mean, it's already spreading across the entire region. Right this weekend, you had Iran striking a base in Kuwait, housing American troops, killing three army soldiers in a supplies and logistics unit. Five more were seriously wounded, several others sustained shrapnel injuries and concussions. And actually today, you'd have fourth American confirmed dead after dying from wounds from Iran's initial attacks.
