| 0:32.6 | That, it's the latest threat against Iran from the apparently unhinged madman in charge of the most powerful military in the world. And as a filming, we're just hours away from finding out whether this madman otherwise known as U.S. President Donald Trump's going to follow through on his threat. A threat to commit what many experts say would almost certainly be war crimes, with potentially catastrophic consequences for people in Iran, across the region, and around the globe, if Iran doesn't agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. |
| 0:55.0 | With Trump's set in the deadline tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern, although Trump's already pushed it back several times. Right with Trump warning each time that failure to comply would result in the U.S. hitting civilian infrastructure in the country, potentially including power plants, desalination facilities, oil installations, and bridges. and bridges. And again, that says you have legal experts far and wide, warning that striking civilian infrastructure is generally a war crime under international humanitarian law. |
| 1:14.0 | Which would almost definitely be the case here, since Trump's comments suggest that this isn't |
| 1:17.4 | really about gaining a military advantage, but about inflicting suffering in Iran's population |
| 1:21.4 | to force its government into submission. Of course, that's in addition to experts noting |
| 1:24.5 | that the attacking in the first place, without UN authorization, without any clear self-defense rationale violated international law. And the strikes that have happened since then, which have hit schools, health facilities, and homes, as well as reportedly killed more than 1,600 civilians. Well, some of those, they may have crossed the line as well. And again, I know that sounds like a wild line. We're not talking about morally. We're talking about technically and definitionally. And then with all this, even as we're waiting to see what happens when Trump's deadline passes, the US and Israel, they're already intensifying attacks in an effort to force Iran's hand. And so overnight, for example, the US struck what it said were military targets on Karg Island, which is Iran's main oil export hub. Also, overnight strikes reportedly took out a synagogue in Tehran. And today, you are the Israeli military announcing that it had launched a new wave of attacks on what it said was Iranian government infrastructure, warning Iranians to avoid train travel until 9 p.m. local time. And then with that, you would at least three people reported killed when an airstrike hit a railway bridge. Iranian media outlets also reporting attacks on other bridges throughout the country and authorities then announcing that they had suspended train service on two major rail lines. And then on the flip side, from the start of the war, you know, Iran's also attacked civilian infrastructure across the Middle East, including energy infrastructure, ports, and airports, and today it targeted energy facilities in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. And you had the Revolutionary Guard Court claiming that it would be willing to widen the scope of its attacks beyond the region if Trump followed through on his threats. Though also, at the same time, both sides have reportedly been |
| 2:36.9 | engaging in indirect talks over the past several days. With international mediators led by Pakistan, |
| 2:41.3 | first putting forward a 45-day ceasefire proposal, which Iran apparently rejected and responded to |
| 2:45.5 | with a 10-point plan of its own. And while the details weren't immediately clear, Iran reportedly |
