00:00On Tuesday, March 28, U.S. and Israeli warplanes, including strategic bombers,
00:06launched a new wave of devastating airstrikes against Iranian missile facilities.
00:11According to U.S. and Israeli media reports, at least three Iranian missile production and
00:16storage sites were destroyed in the bombings, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing
00:21air campaign. B-2 bomber strike deep. Underground facilities destroyed through a central command
00:27confirmed that the strikes were carried out by aircraft, including B-2 strategic bombers,
00:32which targeted several key Iranian military positions. Witnesses reported that the U.S.
00:37bombers flew at very low altitudes, dropping munitions capable of penetrating mountain
00:42fortifications. The explosions were described as massive, sending plumes of smoke billowing into
00:48the sky like thunder. According to witnesses, the bombers took off from U.S. bases in Kuwait and
00:53Missouri before conducting their strikes. The primary targets were underground warehouses
00:58located at the base of mountains facilities used both for storing Iranian ballistic missiles
01:03and for manufacturing them. These hardened positions had previously been considered difficult
01:08to destroy, but the B-2 bomber's precision munitions proved effective in breaching them.
01:14The U.S. Central Command stated that the daily bombardment by U.S. and Israeli warplanes is
01:19necessary because Iran continues to maintain the ability to launch missiles from its remaining
01:24storage sites. Iranian media released images showing missile launches from a mountain range
01:29in the northern part of the country, a stronghold that required the use of B-2 bombers to neutralize.
01:34Iran's missile capability severely degraded. U.S. military officials estimate that Iran has now
01:40lost up to 90 percent of its ballistic missile arsenal. Despite this significant degradation,
01:45the U.S. Central Command acknowledged that Iran still retains the capability to fire long-range
01:50missiles at multiple enemy targets, including Israel and U.S. bases in the Gulf. Witnesses in
01:56various provinces reported seeing Iranian warplanes being downed as U.S. and Israeli forces continued
02:02their aerial assault. The capital, Tehran, experienced heavy airstrikes, with U.S. and Israeli warplanes
02:08repeatedly flying low over several provinces. Agents France press quoted witnesses who said the aircraft
02:14were clearly visible and could even be photographed from the ground. Power grid targeted. Blackouts
02:20across the country with airstrikes also targeted Iran's energy infrastructure. Witnesses reported
02:25that electricity was cut off across almost the entire capital, with U.S. warplanes flying low and
02:31believed to have damaged power plants in Tehran. Blackouts were also reported in Al-Waz province,
02:36as well as in the city of Qom in Markazi province and in Bork province. In Kerman province,
02:42the sound of explosions was heard, particularly in the city of Kerman, as U.S. and Israeli planes
02:48flew low and dropped bombs and missiles on Sunday night. The widespread nature of the strikes,
02:53combined with the low altitude of the attacking aircraft, has led military experts to conclude
02:58that Iran's air defense system may have been completely destroyed. Iran's air defense.
03:04Completely destroyed. The most striking aspect of the recent strikes is the apparent absence of any
03:09effective Iranian air defense response. Witnesses expressed bewilderment at the sight of U.S. bombers
03:15flying at low altitudes visible to the naked eye without being engaged.
03:19Where is Iran's air defense system? One witness asked.
03:22U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the issue with confidence, assuring reporters that Iran's
03:27air defense system has been destroyed and that the country's ability to use missiles to shoot down
03:32aircraft is no longer a concern. U.S. warplanes will have great freedom to fly in the country's airspace,
03:38Trump said. Secretary of War Pete Hexeth confirmed at a cabinet meeting on Saturday that,
03:43according to U.S. military command, Iran's air defense system has been completely destroyed
03:49and that the country's airspace has effectively fallen under the control of us and Israeli warplanes.
03:54Trump's next move. Seizing the strait of Hormuz with Iran's air defenses neutralized,
04:00President Trump is now signaling a potential new phase in the conflict.
04:03In an interview with Israel's Channel 14, Trump confirmed that the United States is still
04:09preparing to seize the strait of Hormuz from Iranian forces. Of course, it will be necessary
04:14to take the strait from the hands of the Iranian army, Trump said. Iran will then be in a very
04:19bad
04:19situation. Trump stated that the United States has a plan to cut of Iran's influence by capturing the
04:25strategic waterway, through which approximately 20% of the world's oil passes. The move would be a
04:31severe blow to Iran's economy and its ability to project power in the Gulf. Regional allies and
04:36proxies. How their strike backers, U.S. and Israeli forces, press their advantage. Iran's regional
04:43proxies have begun to respond. On March 29, the Houthi militia in Yemen, one of the largest militant
04:49groups in the Middle East and a key Iranian proxy, announced that it had launched a missile attack on
04:54Israel. The group described the attack as an intervention in support of its Iranian ally.
04:59Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded forcefully,
05:03vowing that any Iranian alliance that dares to rise up must be destroyed.
05:08Iran is now not the Iran of the Islamic Republic anymore, Netanyahu said.
05:12The Lebanese rebels who are pawns of this regime have also been destroyed.
05:16Any Iranian alliance that dares to rise up now must be destroyed and not given the ability to help the
05:22Iranian regime. Netanyahu drew parallels to previous Israeli operations against Hamas and Hezbollah,
05:28suggesting that the Houthis would meet a similar fate.
05:31Naval threats. Iran vows to sink U.S. warships as the United States prepares for a possible
05:37operation to seize the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian Navy has issued its own warnings.
05:42The commander of the Iranian Navy, Admiral Shahram Irani, confirmed that Iran is monitoring the
05:48movements of the USS Abraham Lincoln and other U.S. naval assets in the Gulf.
05:52As long as the USS opens the door to seize the Persian Gulf, Iranian missiles will be launched
05:57to sink this largest warship, Irani said. The U.S. has significantly increased its naval presence
06:03in the region, deploying a large warship carrying approximately 4,000 military personnel,
06:08with additional forces. The total U.S. military presence in the Gulf now exceeds 17,000 troops,
06:14and the overall U.S. military footprint in the Middle East has surpassed 50,000 personnel.
06:19Trump, in his Channel 14 interview, suggested that the mechanism for seizing the Gulf must begin
06:25without specifying a timeline or specific operations. Iran's counter-threat
06:29A million-man army in response to the escalating U.S. and Israeli pressure,
06:35the Islamic Republic of Iran has threatened to wage a protracted war.
06:39Iranian officials claim that the country has prepared a million troops to launch a counter-attack
06:43against U.S. and Israeli ground forces. The regime has vowed that any ground invasion
06:48will be met with a war that will continue until the United States and Israel agree to withdraw.
06:53Conclusion
06:54A conflict reaching its climax with Iran's air defense system in ruins,
06:58its missile arsenal reduced by 90%, and its energy infrastructure under sustained attack.
07:04The Islamic Republic finds itself in its most vulnerable position since the conflict began.
07:10The United States, meanwhile, is signaling that it is preparing for the next phase,
07:14a ground operation to seize the Strait of Hormuz, which would deal a potentially fatal blow to Iran's
07:20economy and regional influence. As U.S. and Israeli warplanes continue to roam freely over Iranian skies,
07:27and as Iran's proxies begin to strike back, the conflict appears to be entering its most dangerous
07:33phase yet. Whether Iran will capitulate, escalate further, or attempt to open a new front in the Red Sea,
07:40or elsewhere remains to be seen. What is clear is that after four weeks of war,
07:44the endgame is now in sight, and the stakes could not be higher.
