00:07Iran, saying, the Iranians are prepared for any scenario, according to Arachi, Iran is confident that its soldiers can confront
00:15US ground troops and if the United States actually decided to begin ground troops invasion in Iran, it will be
00:23a disaster for the US because, we know we can handle them.
00:26Adding, Russia and China are supporting Iran in the ongoing war with the US and Israel politically and otherwise, and
00:34shortly after the Iran Foreign Minister made this known in an exclusive interview with NBC News Media on Thursday, the
00:41US Secretary of War, Pete Hexas visited the US Central Command, CENTCOM headquarters at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa
00:49area of Florida apparently for a high-level briefing and next plan of action discussed with the CENTCOM commander,
00:55Admiral Brad Cooper, this, local media in Iran reported on Friday morning that the spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards
01:05Corps, IRGC, Brigadier General Ali Muhammad Naimi says the Iranian armed forces are ready for a long war to punish
01:13the aggressor.
01:14The war which began last week Saturday, has led to the deaths of over 1300 people in Iran, 12 in
01:22Israel and 6 US soldiers. According to the Iranian Red Crescent Society on March 6, 2026, over 1332 people have
01:32been killed in Iran since the start of the war on February 28, 2026.
01:38Hengor Organization for Human Rights in an earlier report in the conflict on March 2, the Norway-based NGO stated
01:46that at least 1,500 deaths, specifically identifying 1,300 Iranian military members and 200 civilians among the fallen.
01:56While the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, UNICEF confirmed that, of the more than 1,300 total fatalities, at
02:06least 181 are children.
02:08This includes approximately 175 children killed in a single strike at a girls' primary school in the Manab area of
02:17Iran.
02:18Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs, the official Iranian government agency reported a death toll of at least 1,230
02:26as of March 5.
02:28On the side of Israel, Magen David Adem, MDA, Israel's National Emergency Medical Service, confirmed nine fatalities specifically from a
02:38direct ballistic missile hit on a public shelter in Beit Shemesh on March 1.
02:43The Israeli police in an official police report identified nine killed in Beit Shemesh and have noted that 11 people
02:50remain missing as search and rescue operations continued.
02:54Itchalov Hospital in Tel Aviv confirmed the death of a 102-year-old man who died from a fall while
03:01attempting to reach a shelter during a siren.
03:04Although 10 deaths were confirmed by the Israeli authorities as stated above, but, some local and international media put the
03:12total deaths in Israel at 12.
03:14According to the U.S. Department of War and SENTCOM, six American service members have been killed so far with
03:2118 other soldiers wounded.
03:22Those killed included Sgt. Declan J. Cody, aged 20, Captain Cody A. Cork, aged 35, Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M.
03:33Amor, aged 39, Sgt. 1st Class Noah Teichens, aged 42, Major Jeffrey O'Brien, aged 45 and Chief Warrant Officer
03:433, CW3 Robert M. Marson, aged 54.
03:47All six soldiers were said to be assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command based in Des Moines, Iowa, and died
03:55following an Iranian drone attack on a tactical operations center at Portschweiber, Kuwait, on March 1, 2026.
04:03U.S. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth stated that the casualties primarily occurred when a projectile breached air defenses and
04:11struck a tactical operations center at a military base in Kuwait.
04:15The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC has provided much higher figures, which U.S. officials have dismissed as propaganda.
04:25IRGC spokesperson, Brigadier General Ali Mohamed Niani claimed that 650 American soldiers were killed or wounded during the first two
04:36days of the conflict.
04:37Niani alleged that 160 of these casualties resulted from strikes on the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain.
04:46Iran also claimed to have struck the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier with four cruise missiles.
04:53Saying the warship was forced to flee towards the Indian Ocean.
04:57He warned on state TV that, the gates of hell will open more and more, for the U.S. and
05:03Israel, promising continuous, punitive attacks.
05:07He announced that Iran is prepared for a, prolonged war, and will soon deploy advanced, strategic weaponry, and innovations that
05:15have not yet been used on a large scale.
05:17The U.S. sent come in numbers of posts stated that, the Iranian regime is using mobile launchers to indiscriminately
05:25fire missiles in an attempt to inflict maximum harm across the region.
05:29U.S. forces are hunting these threats down and without apology or hesitation, we are taking them out.
05:36Iran's IRGC claims to have struck USS Abraham Lincoln with ballistic missiles.
05:42Lie, the Lincoln was not hit.
05:45The missiles launch didn't even come close.
05:48The Lincoln continues to launch aircraft in support of CENTCOM's relentless campaign to defend the American people by eliminating threats
05:56from the Iranian regime.
05:57The Iranian regime's false messaging machine continues to falsely claim that it has sunk a U.S. aircraft carrier.
06:05The only carrier that has been hit is the Shaheed Bahri, an Iranian drone carrier.
06:10U.S. forces struck the ship within hours of launching Operation Epic Fury.
06:16Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing.
06:21During a U.N. Security Council meeting yesterday, the Iranian ambassador to the U.N. stated their response has been
06:28directed solely and exclusively at the bases and assets of the United States.
06:33Lie, the Iranian regime is actively targeting civilians and has attacked more than a dozen locations including
06:39Dubai International Airport, Kuwait International Airport, Zaid International Airport, Dubai, Airball International Airport, Iraq, Fairmont Palm Hotel, Dubai, Burj Al
06:53Arab Hotel, Dubai, Crown Plaza Hotel, Bahrain, Port of Dubai, residential areas in Beit Shemesh, Israel, residential areas in Tel
07:04Aviv, Israel,
07:05Israel, residential area of Ereview's Towers, Bahrain, residential areas in Qatar.
07:11When NBC presenter asked the Iranian foreign minister, Abbas Arachi, are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your
07:19country?
07:20Arachi replied and said, no, we are waiting for them.
07:24Arachi explicitly stated that Iran is, not asking for a ceasefire, or the continuation of the war by waiting for
07:32the U.S. ground troops invasion, and while saying Iran sees no reason to negotiate with the U.S. at
07:38this time, he also said that Iran now has more quality resources based on lessons learned from previous war, adding,
07:45Iranian soldiers can handle U.S. ground troops.
07:49Reiterating, Iran is, waiting, for a potential U.S. ground invasion, characterizing such an offensive as a, big disaster, for
07:58American troops.
08:00Arachi had earlier labeled a recent U.S. strike on an, unarmed, Iranian Navy training shipper, war crime.
08:08Arachi accused President Donald Trump of, betraying diplomacy, by treating complex nuclear negotiations like a, real estate transaction.
08:16He claimed there is, clear evidence, that U.S. forces are actively cooperating with Israel in recent attacks on Iranian
08:24soil.
08:25He cautioned that a full military conflict would be, disastrous for the entire region, due to the presence of U
08:32.S. military bases across the Middle East.
08:34China and Russia are supporting Iran primarily through high-level diplomatic protection and critical military technology,
08:42though they have notably refrained from direct military intervention during the current conflict.
08:47Both nations requested an emergency session of the, UN Security Council to address recent U.S. and Israeli strikes.
08:55China and Russia have officially labeled the attacks, grave violations, of Iranian sovereignty and, war crimes.
09:04Russia has publicly stated there is, no evidence, of Iran seeking a nuclear bomb, countering Western justifications for the strikes.
09:13They continue to legitimize the Iranian government by deepening its roles in BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, SCO.
09:21Reports indicated that Russia has begun delivering Su-35 fighter jets and S-400 air defense components to help Iran
09:30detect stealth aircraft like the F-35.
09:33China has transitioned Iran's military from U.S. GPS to its own BEIDOU-3 navigation system,
09:41which provides jam-resistant, high-precision targeting for Iranian missiles.
09:46Both allies share real-time satellite imagery and signals intelligence, SIGINT to help Tehran monitor U.S. and Israeli troop
09:55movements.
09:57Before the new war started, it could be recalled that in late February 2026,
10:02the three nations conducted the, Maritime Security Belt 2026,
10:07naval drills in the Strait of Hormuz to demonstrate strategic alignment.
10:11Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reported on Thursday that top Iranian official Ali Larijani has stressed that his country is prepared to
10:19confront a possible invasion from the United States,
10:22pledging to capture and kill U.S. troops if they enter the country.
10:27Thursday's statement comes as U.S. officials, including President Donald Trump, refuse to rule out deploying forces inside Iran.
10:35Larijani, who serves as the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, warned that such actions would have
10:43dire consequences.
10:44Some American officials have stated that they intend to enter Iranian territory on the ground with several thousand troops, Larijani
10:52said in a statement.
10:54He then added a pointed reference to Iran's former supreme leaders, Rehola Khomeini and Ali Khamenei,
11:00the latter of whom was killed on Saturday in a joint U.S.-Israeli strike.
11:05The valiant sons of Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei are waiting for you, ready to disgrace those corrupt American officials
11:12by killing and capturing thousands, he said.
11:16Larijani, who was a close advisor to the assassinated supreme leader, is believed to be one of the most powerful
11:22figures in Iran.
11:23An apparent pro-U.S. government Facebook user with the account handle, Donald Trump for president,
11:30clarifies issues related to some U.S. pilots seen during ejecting from their fighter jets for safety in Kuwait.
11:37According to the Facebook user in numbers of posts in one of which titled,
11:42Kuwaiti rushes to aid down female American pilot, thank you for helping us.
11:47In the desert heat of Operation Epic Fury, a female USF-15E strike Eagle pilot ejected safely after her jet
11:55was tragically downed by friendly fire from Kuwaiti air defenses.
11:59As she touched down in the sand at sunset, a local Kuwaiti man sprinted across the dunes to reach her
12:06first, beating everyone else to the scene.
12:09Are you fine? You are safe. Thank you for helping us, the man told her, his voice carrying gratitude for
12:16America's role in regional security.
12:18CENTCOM confirmed all six American aircrew, three F-15S total, ejected safely, were recovered within hours, and are in stable
12:28condition.
12:29Kuwait has acknowledged the error amid the confusion of Iranian missiles and drone barrages.
12:35The moment highlights the human side of coalition warfare, a civilian rushing to assist a foreign pilot in distress,
12:43underscoring the complexity of modern military operations and the bonds between partner nations.
12:48God bless the service members who risk their lives in dangerous missions, and the civilians who step forward to help
12:55when it matters most.
12:56On March 2, 2026, three US Air Force F-15E strike Eagles were accidentally shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses
13:06during
13:06high-intensity operations against Iranian targets under Operation Epic Fury.
13:11All six pilots ejected safely and were recovered within hours by coalition forces in stable condition.
13:18No local civilian assistance was needed. Each pilot carried the standard blood chit, a small, rugged fabric patch sewn into
13:27flight gear with a clear multilingual plea.
13:29I am an American and I do not speak your language. I will do you no harm. Please give me
13:36food, water, shelter, clothing, and a doctor.
13:41Help me reach American or friendly forces. When you provide my name and this number to US authorities, you will
13:48be rewarded.
13:49Printed in English, Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and Kurdish, the blood chit is a proven World War II era survival measure
13:58that promises cash rewards for aid.
14:00In this case, thanks to rapid US-Kuwaiti coordination, the chits remained in the pilot's gear, unnecessary but ready.
14:08The incident reminds us that even among close allies, the fog of war can strike hard. Yet swift recovery and
14:16strong coalition response kept American airmen safe and mission focus intact.
14:21The fog of war nearly led to a tragedy in the Al Jara area of Kuwait today, but a viral
14:27video is showing the world how quickly a, violent, situation turned into a heroic rescue.
14:33After three USF-15E strike eagles were mistakenly downed by Kuwaiti air defenses in a, friendly fire, incident, one of
14:43our pilots found himself surrounded by a group of intense, shouting locals.
14:48In the heat of Operation Epic Fury, tensions are at a breaking point across the Gulf.
14:53When the jet spiraled down in flames, locals rush to the scene, witnesses, including Ahmed al-Assa, initially thought the
15:02parachuting airman was an Iranian pilot from the regime that has been launching, reckless, strikes across the region.
15:09The footage shows a crowd closing in, shouting in Arabic, as the pilot, clutching his equipment, desperately identifies himself, American.
15:19American, over here, the second the crowd realized he was an American ally, the energy shifted instantly.
15:27You can hear the locals shouting, Kalas, Kalas, stop, stop, to hold back the more aggressive members and begin the
15:35rescue.
15:36What started as a confrontation ended with the pilot being shielded and comforted by the very people he's in the
15:42region to protect.
15:44The pilot was given shelter in a vehicle and checked for injuries.
15:48One local can be heard reassuring him in English,
15:51How you feeling?
15:53It's okay, brother, come.
15:55Despite the, friendly fire, error, caused by the chaos of a massive Iranian drone and missile swarm,
16:02Kuwait has acknowledged the mistake and is working, hand-in-hand, with the Trump-X-15 to ensure it doesn't
16:09happen again.
16:10...boots on the ground in Iran.
16:12Are you afraid of a U.S. invasion in your country?
16:16No, we are waiting for them.
16:19You are waiting for the U.S. military to invade the ground troops?
16:24Yes.
16:25Because we are confident that we can confront them, and that would be a big disaster for them.
16:33So you're saying that Iran is ready and willing to take on the U.S. military if there were to
16:38be ground troops?
16:39Well, we were ready for this war even more than the previous war.
16:45So you can see, you know, the quality of our missiles, how much they are upgraded after the last war,
16:52because we learned lots of lessons.
16:53And we are prepared for any other eventuality, even, you know, a ground invasion.
16:59So our soldiers are prepared for any scenario.
17:03When I said we are waiting for them, it didn't mean that we are waiting for continuation of the war.
17:09No.
17:09But we have prepared ourselves to confront with any scenario, with any eventuality, any possibility,
17:16and we know that we can handle that.
17:18Are your allies Russia and China helping you?
17:23Well, they are supporting us politically and otherwise.
17:27Do you have someone in mind who said all the people you've had in mind are dead?
17:33Well, most of the people we had in mind are dead.
17:35So, you know, we had some in mind from that group that is dead.
17:41And now we have another group, they may be dead also, based on reports.
17:46So I guess you have a third wave coming in.
17:49Pretty sure we're not going to know anybody.
17:51The Iranian Air Force is no more.
17:53Built for 1996, destroyed in 2026.
17:58The Iranian Navy rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf.
18:03Combat ineffective, decimated, destroyed, defeated.
18:07Pick your adjective.
18:08In fact, last night, we sunk their prize ship, the Soleimani.
18:14Looks like POTUS got him twice.
18:18Their Navy, not a factor.
18:19Pick your adjective.
18:20It is no more.
18:22In fact, yesterday, in the Indian Ocean, and we'll play it on the screen there,
18:27an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters.
18:35Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo.
18:38A quiet death.
18:40The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War II.
18:44Starting last night, and to be completed in a few days, in under a week,
18:49the two most powerful air forces in the world will have complete control of Iranian skies, uncontested airspace.
18:57I hope all the folks watching understand what uncontested airspace and complete control means.
19:05It means we will fly all day, all night, day and night, finding, fixing, and finishing the missiles and defense
19:14industrial base of the Iranian military.
19:16Finding and fixing their leaders and their military leaders.
19:21Flying over Tehran, flying over Iran, flying over their capital, flying over the IRGC, Iranian leaders looking up and seeing
19:33only U.S. and Israeli airpower.
19:37Every minute of every day, until we decide, it's over.
19:43And Iran will be able to do nothing about it.
19:47B-2s, B-52s, B-1s, Predator drones, fighters, controlling the skies, picking targets.
19:54Death and destruction from the sky all day long.
20:00We're playing for keeps.
20:02Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by the President and yours, too.
20:08Our rules of engagement are bold, precise, and designed to unleash American power, not shackle it.
20:15This was never meant to be a fair fight.
20:19And it is not a fair fight.
20:21We are punching them while they're down, which is exactly how it should be.
20:27Thus far, Operation Epic Fury has delivered twice the airpower of shock and awe of Iraq in 2003, minus Paul
20:36Bremer and the nation building.
20:39The campaign has seven times the intensity of Israel's previous operations against Iran during the 12-day war.
20:46Seven times.
20:48And as President Trump said, more and larger waves are coming.
20:52We are just getting started.
20:55We are accelerating, not decelerating.
20:58Iran's capabilities are evaporating by the hour, while American strength grows fiercer, smarter, and utterly dominant.
21:05More bombers and more fighters are arriving just today.
21:08Horses who are on level, bringing youth to news in a more digital world.
