00:00launched a heavy barrage of missiles and drones in Iran last night. Tehran was under attack from
00:08west, east and south, and the Iranian air defense systems were actively engaged in those areas.
00:17Even in south of Tehran, they claim that they have downed an Israeli drone. We haven't seen
00:24any evidence. We're not too sure about that. But the most intense attacks came on the Rashed
00:33Industrial Complex. The IDF issued an evacuation order in the middle of the night at 3 a.m.,
00:39and then began striking at 3.32. That's only like 32 minutes away. And sources told me that over 30
00:49attacks were made by the Israelis on the Rashed Industrial Complex. The IDF says it's a military
00:58target. Iran denies that, says it's merely an industrial complex which serves for urban planning
01:08and urban construction. That's what we heard from the Iranian officials. And meanwhile, Said,
01:15Iran's foreign minister is due to meet today with European foreign ministers in Geneva.
01:21What's Iran hoping to get out of those talks?
01:26Honestly, we don't know because Israel does not listen to Europe that much. And the E3 countries
01:33and the EU foreign policy chief Kayakalas, they don't have much leverage over Israel.
01:40The Iranian foreign ministry's statement said this is related to nuclear talks.
01:44So perhaps we could assume that they are planning to resume or pick up where they left off with
01:52Steve Vitkoff. The British foreign minister was in Washington and met Steve Vitkoff and Marco Rubio
01:59and said that Iran has a two-week diplomatic window. My assumption is that they're going to go in there and
02:07ask Iran to stop enrichment program. And with 15,000 centrifuges being heavily damaged in Natanz, Iran might have to take that offer.
