Like any other war, the people of Iran have been killed. And we hope that this war will end today. This is between Iran and the Islamic Republic.

311.425 - 347.785 Unknown

Iran unfortunately is in the throes of a war that has inflicted a great deal of damage on the country. Unlike any war, many civilians are killed. So I hope that this war will end very soon. This is a war that is between three countries, the Islamic Republic, the United States and Israel. And there is something I need to point out, that this war did not actually begin in 2026.

347.926 - 378.85 Unknown

It actually started in 1979 with the revolution in Iran, with the Islamic Revolution, as a result of which an Islamic Republic was established. Since its inception, the Islamic Republic adopted a foreign policy. And this official foreign policy was that Israel must be annihilated and the forces of the United States must be evicted from the region.

379.951 - 428.237 Unknown

And it used all its resources to achieve that objective. This foreign policy, although it was very wrong, It was endured by the United States and Israel until the Islamic Republic decided to embark on enriching uranium up to 60% and banning the IAEA inspectors from visiting the nuclear sites. And that is why currently we see this war And Iran is being damaged and civilians are being killed.
