00:30And let's now take a look at the countries that have been targeted in West Asia so far as this
00:36war continues to spread.
00:38If we have a look at the map of West Asia, of course, Iran and Israel highlighted these initial nations
00:45taking part in the 12-day war in June last year.
00:49But the difference this time around in 2026 is that strikes are not just taking place in these two countries.
00:56We have other Gulf states. Iran's clear modus operandi has been to attack countries which host U.S. bases.
01:05They made that clear during periods of negotiations, saying that any U.S. action would lead to strikes on U
01:13.S. bases in the region.
01:14And that has now become a reality. Looking at the nations, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, of
01:22course, Iraq.
01:23There are proxy groups, the Kabayats, Hezbollah. Strikes have been taking place there.
01:28But interestingly, I want to focus now on Lebanon.
01:31We know that this morning, Israeli strikes on southern Beirut after attacks from Hezbollah.
01:38Hezbollah are the strongest proxy group that Iran has around the nation of Israel.
01:44And they have abilities to strike Israel and potentially pierce through that Iron Dome.
01:49Israel launched attacks early on on Saturday in southern Lebanon.
01:54But since then, their offensive has stepped up.
01:57So the situation remains that West Asia is continuing to escalate.
02:02We're seeing conflict across the wider region and strikes elsewhere.
02:07Continuing.
02:09Power doesn't end quietly.
02:11Some deaths are not accidents.
02:15They are messages.
02:17A gunshot.
02:19A crowd.
02:21A country frozen.
02:23The killer disappears.
02:25The questions don't.
02:27This is not just about who died.
02:30It's about what followed.
02:32Governments fell.
02:34Armies moved.
02:36History rewrote itself.
02:38Five leaders.
02:40Five moments.
02:42One pattern.
02:44The assassination.
03:08That's whatordan.
03:0810 people.
03:08And if you have a job with me.
