00:06Well, it seems now there are visuals coming in from Iran which are showing or rather these
00:13are claims made by Iran where civilians have been targeted by the Israeli and U.S. strikes.
00:18Now this is from the first wave of strikes that this claim is made.
00:22These are mourners in the Iranian city of Minab.
00:26They were carrying coffins adorned with photographs of young children that according to them were
00:33killed during airstrikes.
00:35Now this funeral happened on March 3rd.
00:38During a funeral procession, the photographs of the victims or the girls who were in a
00:44school were put in the procession.
00:47And on the other side, you see the visual of rows of graves, freshly dug graves of apparently
00:55the schoolgirls who got the funeral procession as you see on your screen.
00:59Oh yes, so far as is being reported, 160 girls in that school who lost their lives as a result
01:04of these strikes.
01:05Trucks transporting the coffins arrived as large crowds gathered at the Hormuzgan province where
01:12people held up pictures and waved flags as they walked alongside the vehicles.
01:16The coffins were later brought to the main procession site where funeral prayers were underway.
01:21As Iran is claiming that 160 young schoolgirls lost their lives in this strike.
01:29When you prevent them from joining a riot that can take their lives, you know, these are the
01:34things that they have been trying to take away from us.
01:36But Iranians have seen through that and the West has shown its true face.
01:41So, this is actually, I mean, all of this is, it's happening at a very good time of our country.
01:48You know, it was, we have had over the course of the years, the shrinking of...
01:53So, the visuals that you see on your screen right now, two set of visuals.
01:57One of a funeral procession that happened for these girls, 160 schoolgirls in the region of Minab.
02:04And the other picture that you see is of those 160 freshly dug graves as they were being dug.
02:12According to Iran, these girls were part of the strikes that happened.
02:19They were targeted.
02:20So, claims from Iran of civilian casualties and that too of schoolgirls.
