🎥 Moulton, US Congressman: Mr. Secretary of War, you said, "We will show no mercy to the Iranians, we will show no compassion." This statement constitutes a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. 🔸 US Secretary of War: The War Department fights for victory. 🔸 Moulton: You demanded the prosecution of Democratic members of Congress for "treason," simply because they reminded soldiers that they must obey the law. But when it comes to you issuing an order for a war crime, do you stand by your words [with pride]? 🔸 US Secretary of War: I said that because they were implying that the orders we give to our forces are illegal. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

🎥 US Congressman: How much has the US government spent on the massacre of Iranian students? 🔸 Kana: How much did the attack on the Iranian school, which resulted in the death of children, cost American taxpayers? 🔸 US Secretary of War: That unfortunate incident is still under investigation. 🔸 Kana: So you don't know how much it cost? 🔸 US Secretary of War: There are 15-16 inspections underway. I won't put a price on these matters. 🔸 Kana: This is a logical question. Our taxpayers' money was spent on this. Do you know that? __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

🎥 US Congressman: If Iran's nuclear facilities had been destroyed, then why did we go to war with Iran? 🔸 US Secretary of War: Someone who is strongly insistent on acquiring nuclear weapons must be brought to a point where they withdraw from the negotiating table. 🔸 Adam Smith: So they haven't surrendered yet. Very well, then we haven't reached that stage yet. 🔸 US Secretary of War: Their nuclear facilities have been destroyed. They are underground, buried, and we are monitoring them 24 hours a day. 🔸 Adam Smith: You said we were forced to start the war because a nuclear weapon was an imminent threat. Now you say it was completely destroyed? 🔸 US Secretary of War: They had not renounced their nuclear ambitions. 🔸 Adam Smith: So [the attack on Fordow and Natanz during the 12-day war] had no fundamental or significant achievement; such that we were forced to start a war. 🔸 No, their facilities were bombed and destroyed. But their ambitions continued! __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

🎥 Adam Smith, US Congress Representative: Trump claims victory but Iran refuses to negotiate with us 🔸 About a week ago, the President announced that Iran agreed to abandon its nuclear and missile program, stop supporting proxy groups, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. 🔸 The only problem is that, in the truest sense of the word, none of these things were true. 🔸 Trump made these claims up himself. Iran has not even agreed to meet with us. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

🎥 US Congress representative's account of Trump's firing of Vance 🔸 Adam Smith: Poor JD Vance was forced to keep going back and forth to the airport, while we didn't even have a meeting [to negotiate with Iran]. 🔸 "Wishful thinking" is not a strategy. The President thinks he can order Iran to "put aside nuclear weapons" and they will just obey, but this approach does not work." __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

📣 CNN's "drip-feed" comparison of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz 🔸 While before the war, about 300 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz monthly, the number of ships that passed through this strait last month (March) was only 154, most of which were also related to Iran. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG

🎥 Wesley Clark, former NATO commander: We have lost Iranian attacks that are difficult to replace. 🔸 Currently, our Tomahawk missile inventory has dropped below 50 percent. We have consumed about one-third of our ballistic missile interception capacity and half of our high-altitude "THAAD" missile inventory. 🔸 Replacing these missiles will take several years in some cases. 🔸 Additionally, ships in the region must be re-readied, which is a major operation. 🔸 The cost of munitions for the war with Iran has reached $25 billion, but producing and replacing this equipment is more important than the money itself. __________________________________ 📣 Beyond Headlines , Inside Iran 🔗 IRAN TIMES | @JAARCHI_ENG
