00:00is unlikely to be mourned by many ordinary Iranians.
00:05Larijani's death is a different story.
00:09He wasn't necessarily popular, but he was a figure within the deep state,
00:13and I think it's important to note that he was extremely pragmatic and practical.
00:19He knew the inner workings of the system,
00:22and he was responsible for many of the top decisions that the state was taking,
00:28particularly in relation to the nuclear file and the conduct of the war.
00:35He was extremely pragmatic, so I wonder if his killing was deliberate on the part of Israel.
00:42The very latest, Iran is vowing revenge against Israel
00:45for an attack that killed its top national security official, Ali Larijani.
00:51The leader of Iran's paramilitary force was also killed.
00:56The commander-in-chief of Iran's army says the response will be decisive.
01:00Benefiting, if you like, from the U.S. taking all the risks,
01:05not prepared to help him secure the Strait of Hormuz so that oil can get out,
01:10and then complaining about the price of oil around the world.
01:14And for him, that sounds like NATO not really stepping up.
01:18And so you're hearing some pretty strong language.
01:20I mean, I don't think he's ever called NATO countries cowards before.
01:24That is pretty direct.
01:26Paper tigers, as he put it.
01:28And there was a threat in there.
01:29He said the U.S. would remember all this.
01:33Now, we don't really know what the plan is for sort of completely opening up the Strait.
01:38There's a bunch of marines on the way to the region,
01:43a couple of these marine expeditionary units,
01:45one from Mokinara in Japan.
01:47And we've learned today from our partners, CBS,
01:51that another 2,500 marines potentially are sailing from the west coast of the United States.
01:57Now, that will take them some time to get...
02:59...of the climate danger that everybody in their right mind knows exists.
03:08And the fossil fuel industry has a big reckoning coming from that mess.
03:14And they do not want to be responsive to voters.
03:17They want the White House and the House and the Senate controlled by a party that they control.
03:25They want this election to keep Republicans in power so that they're not held to account for the fraudulent climate
03:34denial,
03:35for the dark money corruption, and for the looming catastrophe in home insurance rates.
03:43And the way they do that is making sure with this bill that we just make sure only the right
03:51people are voting.
03:56So the stakes are very...
04:00...weapon.
04:00They would have used it long before now.
04:02And at a minimum, Israel would have been annihilated.
04:06I was very lucky that we had the courage to do that.
04:10That we had the talented pilots and the great equipment.
04:13The B-2 bombers are unbelievable.
04:15We ordered 25 more, by the way.
04:17And the new, the newer, better version.
04:22It's, uh...
04:23We have the greatest military in the world.
04:25We have the greatest equipment in the world by far.
04:28You see that no matter where we go.
04:30You still need the people, though, to operate it and to use it.
04:34And those are the people that we cherish.
04:36Even after we obliterated their key nuclear sites in operation, Midnight Hammer,
04:42they never negotiated in good faith. They still continued to say, we want to build nuclear. We
04:48want enrichment at levels that were unacceptable. And they even turned down an offer for unlimited
04:54free nuclear fuel forever for civilian purposes. We had people offering them
