They try to pretend as if it was for the Iranian people who are indeed under a terrible oppressive regime or it is because like they call it preemptive war which is to prevent an attack against Israel.

It's just in the interest of those in power against the peoples. This is a demonstration against war, against occupation, against war crimes. It is for the peoples, including the Israeli people.

4:544 minutes, 54 secondssaid it detected a new ballistic missile [music] attack from Iran. According to Israeli authorities, this was Iran's 12th missile attack in under 24 hours.
5:085 minutes, 8 secondsSoon, sirens began blaring in southern,
5:105 minutes, 10 seconds[music] central, as well as northern Israel. There was panic and chaos as [music] millions of Israelis rushed to bomb shelters to save their lives.
5:195 minutes, 19 secondsAccording to the IDF's [music] initial assessment, the Iranian missile was intercepted. There were no [music]
5:255 minutes, 25 secondsreports of direct impacts or injuries in the attack. The IDF Homeront Command also allowed civilians [music] in areas
5:335 minutes, 33 secondswhere sirens sounded to leave bomb shelters. However, this unverified online footage showed an Iranian missile
5:415 minutes, 41 seconds[music] impacting Hifa's refinery in northern Israel. The video showed a huge cloud of smoke [music] coming out from
5:485 minutes, 48 secondsthe refinery. An intercepted Iranian ballistic missile landed in Tokarm in the West Bank. The missile looks huge.
5:565 minutes, 56 secondsFire and smoke were emanating.
5:585 minutes, 58 secondsMeanwhile, [music] Israel continues to pound the Iranian capital, Thran, and other parts of the country. On March
6:056 minutes, 5 seconds8th, [music] Israeli forces bombed oil storage facilities in Tehran. Israel struck [music] three oil storage depots
6:136 minutes, 13 secondsand refining facilities for the first time. The Israeli army said on X that several depots [music] belonging to the

6:436 minutes, 43 secondsAccording to FARS news agency affiliated with the IRGC, a video posted [music] by Fars on X showed a vehicle on fire as a

7:007 minutesin Thran's eastern Thran Parist district when the attack [music] took place.
7:057 minutes, 5 secondsIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the USIsraeli bombing campaign [music] in Iran would continue
7:127 minutes, 12 secondsunabated and that the moment of truth was [music] nearing for Iranians to overthrow their government. US President
7:197 minutes, 19 secondsDonald Trump [music] also told reporters that the war will continue for a while longer without providing [music] a timeline. Mr. President,
7:277 minutes, 27 secondsdid the United States bomb a girl's elementary school in southern Iran on the first day of the war and kill 175 people?
7:347 minutes, 34 secondsbased on what I've seen that was done by Iran.
7:397 minutes, 39 secondsIs that true, Mr. Hex? It was Iran who did that. We're certainly investigating. Still investigating.
7:447 minutes, 44 secondsBut the only the only side that targets civilians is Iran.
7:497 minutes, 49 secondsWe think it was done. We think it was done by Iran. Can you give us an idea?
7:537 minutes, 53 secondsVery inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever. It was done by Iran.
7:597 minutes, 59 secondsCan you give us an idea of what unconditional surrender looks like to you? I mean, what do you want from Iran?
8:058 minutes, 5 secondsI said unconditional, not conditional. I said unconditional. It's where they cry uncleano or when they can't fight any long longer and there's nobody around to cry uncle.
8:168 minutes, 16 secondsThat could happen too is you know we've wiped out their leadership numerous times already. So it's uh if they
8:248 minutes, 24 secondssurrender or if there is nobody around to surrender but they're rendered useless in terms of military.
8:318 minutes, 31 secondsMr. President ask you what Peter asked you a question yesterday. You said it wasn't the right time in that event, but he was asking whether you have indications of whether Russia is supporting Iran somehow in this.
8:428 minutes, 42 secondsNo, I haven't had that. I have had no indication of that whatsoever. If they are, they're not doing a very good job because Iran is not doing too well.
8:518 minutes, 51 secondsWhat about the straight of Hormuz?
8:528 minutes, 52 secondsThere's no traffic really going through it.
8:548 minutes, 54 secondsWell, that's, you know, the ship's choices, but uh we have it cleaned out.
8:588 minutes, 58 secondsWe've wiped out their navy. The Navy is now at the bottom of the sea. So that's the choice. This is an excursion. We
9:079 minutes, 7 secondsfigured oil prices would go up, which they will. They'll also come down.
9:119 minutes, 11 secondsThey'll come down very fast and we will have gotten rid of a major major cancer on the face of the earth. We will have taken out a cancer. You know, don't
9:209 minutes, 20 secondsforget October 7th. Don't forget all of the things that have happened over the years. All all caused by these people.
9:279 minutes, 27 secondsSo what we're doing is a great thing not only for our country and not only for Israel, not only for the Middle East.
