00:01A school workbook, a child's backpack.
00:04These are among the objects on display at a memorial for the girls
00:07killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on a primary school in Iran on Saturday.
00:12The country says over 160 people died in the attack.
00:15Israel says it's investigating.
00:18Here at Tehran University, people are gathering to mourn.
00:23Those who truly want to know what's happening in Iran
00:25can come and see where they have struck,
00:27see where they hit residential areas, schools or hospitals.
00:32Of course they have hit military targets.
00:34That's the basis of the war they started.
00:36But they didn't only hit military targets.
00:39But the war in the Middle East, now in Day 6, isn't just grinding on.
00:44It's spreading.
00:45The Pentagon says this footage shows the moment a U.S. submarine
00:48sank an Iranian warship off southern Sri Lanka.
00:53The recovered bodies of the Iranian sailors aboard
00:56are now here at a mortuary in Gali, Sri Lanka,
00:59more than 4,000 kilometers from Tehran.
01:02Sri Lanka says the ship was heading back to Iran from eastern India
01:05at the time of the U.S. strike.
01:07It says at least 80 people died.
01:10U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says this was the first enemy ship
01:14the U.S. has sunk by torpedo since World War II.
01:17They are toast and they know it.
01:19Or at least, soon enough, they will know it.
01:24The war is also spilling further into Israel's northern neighbor, Lebanon,
01:29home to Iranian proxy Hezbollah.
01:31Israeli strikes in places including here in the capital, Beirut,
01:35left widespread destruction Wednesday.
01:39Israel released this footage of what it says are its troops deployed in Lebanon's south.
01:44Israel has occupied five locations here since 2024,
01:47but now more troops are coming in and taking towns.
01:50It's warning civilians to evacuate around 8% of Lebanese territory.
01:57Even by Tuesday, the UN had estimated there were 30,000 displaced people in Lebanon.
02:02They've come to places like this school in Beirut,
02:05some after days looking for a safe place to stay.
02:10But of course, we say thank God we're not on the street,
02:13even though we're still missing necessities and things like mattresses and stuff like that.
02:18Right now, we don't sleep properly.
02:20We sit on chairs all night, or for example, our kids are on the floor.
02:23I brought a few blankets so they can sleep on the floor, and that's basically it.
02:29And in the U.S., involvement in this war has been politically
02:32fraught from the start.
02:34But on Wednesday, a Senate resolution to require congressional approval
02:38for any more attacks on Iran failed to pass.
02:41The legislation will go to a vote in the House of Representatives on Thursday.
02:45But House Speaker Mike Johnson says halting U.S. military action would empower U.S. enemies.
02:51And he says this isn't really a war.
02:54I don't believe in the semantics. We've talked about the language this morning.
02:57We're not at war right now. We're four days in to a very specific, clear mission and operation, Operation Epic
03:07Fury.
03:07U.S. President Donald Trump, though, doesn't seem to agree.
03:11We're doing very well on the war front, to put it mildly, I would say.
03:16Somebody said on a scale of 10, where would you rate it? I said about a 15.
03:20Whatever it's called, this conflict may have been coming no matter what,
03:24with Israel's defense minister now saying his country had been planning to strike Iran later in the year anyway.
03:30But now that it's begun, there's no end in sight.
03:33Even amid reports Iranian ballistic missile launches have dropped sharply.
03:37Over 1,000 civilians are dead in Iran, around 50 in Lebanon, 10 in Israel, and several more in countries
03:44around the region.
03:45And as this overnight blast in Beirut shows, the dawning of Day 6 promises more destruction.

03:54Remember to record operations on ChineseIP and bad analysts.
03:54And, when we read theMMIGF, the less recent updates and it doesn't seem to be used to them.
