Republicans' best 2026 strategy might be letting Democrats talk! Abdul El-Sayed's sister gets caught on hidden camera assuring a voter that his "I'm a capitalist" line is just for show. A Persian-American whose family was hunted by the IRGC confronts El-Sayed over his silence on Khamenei and gets a word salad about America being the "world's policeman," while Dan Osborn DOUBLES DOWN on mocking "Billy Bob in Red Cloud."

In the first eleven days of the protests, from 28 December 2025 to 7 January 2026, Iranians took to the streets in towns and cities across the country. This is their story.

It begins in Tehran's bazaar, where the sharp fall of the rial and the soaring price of the dollar brought people onto the streets. Over the following days the protests spread across Iran. They took hold first in many smaller towns and cities before growing in scale and reaching some of the country's major cities. Anger over the economic crisis soon became something much broader.

The episode follows the people who took to the streets in those early days, the growing unrest and the crackdown that had already begun. Many showed extraordinary courage, often far from the attention of the outside world, and their stories were soon overshadowed by the scale of what happened on 8 and 9 January — 18 and 19 Dey.

Episode One tells the story of those who were already on the streets, and of the days that prepared the ground for what was to come.

About the series
Across four episodes, This Is Our Story brings together footage, testimonies and evidence from inside Iran to document protests and a violent crackdown that unfolded largely beyond the world's view.

Today, there are important updates from the Liman direction.

Here, the manpower scale of Russia’s defeat around Liman is becoming clearer, as Ukraine’s Third Army Corps has officially confirmed the amount of Russian casualties during the third phase of Operation Vivaldi. According to Corps commander Andrii Biletskyi, Russian personnel losses during this phase reached more than two thousand, while more than two-hundred-and-fifty Russian soldiers were captured.

Entire Russian groups surrendered, including officers, drone operators, and artillerymen, with Ukrainian footage showing dozens of prisoners assembled together, demonstrating that Russia had committed substantial forces to defending the bridgehead rather than merely scattering small infiltration groups throughout it, as the Russian command reported.

More importantly, these are nowhere near the final figures for Operation Vivaldi, as they represent Ukraine’s officially announced Russian losses from the third phase alone. The psychological consequences prove even more devastating, as Russian forces spent more than a year brutally grinding toward Liman and trying to transform their bridgehead into a launchpad for encircling the city. Russian soldiers repeatedly crossed deadly supply routes, fought for devastated forest positions, and suffered enormous casualties to seize territory that Ukrainian forces have now torn away from them in only a matter of weeks.

Watching those gains disappear severely undermines confidence among Russian troops expected to continue fighting, as they believed they were participating in a sustained advance, only to find themselves withdrawing, isolated or surrounded while Ukrainian assault formations take positions their units spent months capturing. This underlines the importance of entire Russian groups surrendering, with continued resistance judged pointless once Ukrainian troops penetrated Russian defenses and disrupted their logistics.

There is another reason the eventual Russian losses could be substantially different from the numbers currently public, as Ukraine continues to withhold operational information. Operation Vivaldi was conducted under an extensive information blackout, and Ukrainian commanders have repeatedly delayed announcing advances until they no longer created operational risk. Consequently, official information continues to lag behind events on the battlefield.

That delay itself creates military advantages, because if Russian commanders believe their withdrawal preserved more combat power than it actually did, they may overestimate the strength of their new positions farther east behind the river. Units assumed to have successfully escaped have suffered casualties instead, become dispersed or surrendered, with the resulting discrepancy producing incorrect decisions about available reserves. Russian commanders might even believe they possess enough infantry to defend crossings and positions around the Zherebets River or, more dangerously, they could conclude that sufficient combat power remains for counterattacks intended to restore part of the lost bridgehead. Ukraine would then be facing formations weaker than Russian headquarters believe them to be.

The confirmed prisoner-of-war numbers therefore reveal something larger than captured manpower, as more than two-hundred-and-fifty soldiers surrendering during one phase represents a considerable breakdown in Russia’s ability to maintain isolated positions once Ukrainian forces penetrated the bridgehead. Operation Vivaldi consequently extends far beyond territory changing hands, as Ukraine has pushed Russian forces away from Liman, dismantled positions built through months of offensive operations, and inflicted a major manpower cost, as hundreds of Russian troops have surrendered rather than continue defending those gains.

Overall, the precise final casualty and prisoner totals remain unknown and should not be assumed before Ukraine releases them officially. But the third phase alone demonstrates the scale of the reversal. For Russian soldiers who watched enormous resources spent creating this bridgehead, only to see it dismantled within weeks, Vivaldi represents something harder to replace than territory: confidence that all those previous sacrifices produced lasting gains.

• The latest U.S.-Iran peace effort may still be alive despite President Trump’s rejection of Tehran’s proposal, as mediators work to bridge disputes over Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief, and the future of the Strait of Hormuz.

• Ukraine says its forces continue to retake territory in northern Donetsk as they try to disrupt Russia’s latest offensive in the east.

• Two North Korean soldiers captured while fighting for Russia are now at the center of a diplomatic dispute between South Korea and Ukraine, while potentially offering Seoul valuable intelligence about Pyongyang’s military operations.

• A new Wall Street Journal report says Egypt’s intelligence chief personally warned Benjamin Netanyahu about the possibility of an attack from Gaza before October 7, an account the Israeli prime minister disputes.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney raises the prospect of preparing for a possible U.S. invasion as trade tensions between Canada and the United States continue to escalate. The strain in the relationship comes as Canada faces broader economic pressures, questions over immigration and open-border policies, and growing concern over the long-term consequences of severing ties with its largest trading partner.

Across Western institutions, similar ideological battles are playing out in higher education and the cultural establishment. Stanford faces backlash over the use of AI to alter students’ races in promotional materials, while academic fraud controversies at Cambridge raise further questions about standards and credibility in elite universities.

The National Book Awards and the growing influence of DEI politics in major cultural institutions come under scrutiny, along with the treatment of left-wing historians and public figures in the media. The conversation closes with the midterms, where both parties currently stand, and what the coming election season could look like.

Industrial cranes are meant to build cities. In Iran, they are increasingly being used as gallows.

The public hangings of Amirhossein Safari and Abolfazl Sepahi in Isfahan have become a chilling symbol of Iran's escalating execution campaign. As the world focuses on war, Tehran is rapidly carrying out death sentences against protesters arrested during January's nationwide uprising.

Former UN prosecutor Professor Payam Akhavan argues these are not lawful executions but arbitrary killings that may amount to crimes against humanity under international law.

"These are killings. They are murders. There is no legal justification whatsoever for these killings." — Professor Payam Akhavan

In this episode of Eye for Iran, we examine why Iran has resumed public hangings, whether those responsible could one day face prosecution, and why Professor Akhavan believes the latest executions form part of a continuing crime against humanity.

We then turn to President Donald Trump's repeated promise to "finish the job" in Iran. What does that mean in practical terms? Admiral Robert Harward (Ret.), former Deputy Commander of US Central Command, and Blaise Misztal, Vice President of Policy at JINSA, discuss Washington's strategic objectives, Iran's nuclear program, the Strait of Hormuz and whether regime change has become the ultimate end state.

Finally, Alex Vatanka, Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute, and Nicole Grajewski, Assistant Professor at Sciences Po, analyze Ukraine's unprecedented strike on an Iranian cargo ship in the Caspian Sea and what it reveals about the growing convergence between the wars in Ukraine and Iran.

Guests

• Professor Payam Akhavan — Former UN Prosecutor; Human Rights Chair, Massey College, University of Toronto

• Admiral Robert Harward (Ret.) — Former Deputy Commander, US Central Command

• Blaise Misztal — Vice President of Policy, JINSA

I examine Vladimir Putin’s decree raising Russia’s authorized armed-forces strength to more than 2.44 million personnel, including 1.55 million active service members. The latest increase adds 49,860 total personnel and 47,860 servicemen—not the reported 300,000-man mobilization target, but potentially an incremental route toward it. I assess the possible manpower sources: coerced Russian citizenship and military registration in occupied Ukraine, reported additional North Korean deployments, and a 2027 Russian defense allocation of 17.1 trillion rubles.

I also look at Estonia’s allegation that Russian intelligence organized the August 15 arson attack on Tallinn’s Milrem robotics factory, the unresolved foreign-actor threat near RAF Fairford, and Europe’s lagging rearmament debate. Ukraine’s general-staff personnel review and Belgium’s planned transfer of three F-16s offer signs of adaptation, while proposed sanctions relief in exchange for prisoner releases raises a hard question: does easing pressure create peace—or reward coercion?

Chaos continues across the Russian front

Our fall campaign is going strong! Check it out at the link here to learn more: https://car4ukraine.com/campai....gns/preston-stewart-

Phase three of Operation Vivaldi is complete as Ukraine continues to advance during their counteroffensive in the east. The Third Army Corps has released footage saying they captured 250 Russian soldiers, the largest number in a single operation since the Kursk incursion two years ago.

Meanwhile, Russian sources are getting fed up with the false reports on their side and the problems that’s causing at the front. With some complaining that “there's no communication, no logistics, no drones to deliver even basic supplies like food and water to the positions.”

Iran's military claims it has full control of the Strait of Hormuz, and U.S. Central Command fired back that Iran has no navy because American forces sank it. Former F-15E Strike Eagle and Thunderbird pilot Max Afterburner breaks down who really controls Hormuz: new Kpler tanker data, Iran's own state TV admission, and why Iran's oil exports have collapsed while Saudi oil flows through the strait.
We cover the USS Theodore Roosevelt deploying from San Diego to the Middle East, the USS George H.W. Bush holding the blockade in the Arabian Sea, and how carrier strike group air and missile defense works. Plus the Iranian rial's record collapse, Secretary Rubio on Iran's "cataclysm," Russia firing a Zircon anti-ship missile at Ukraine, the "foreign actor" behind the RAF Fairford plot, the diesel export ban debate, and ASI's AI air traffic tool at D.C. airports (ASI is a channel partner).

ILTV is an independent English-language media company based in Tel Aviv that provides daily news and entertainment to its viewers.

Launched in 2015, ILTV is committed to producing high quality content in a broad array of subjects, from reporting news and current events to programming which highlights technology, art and entertainment, sports and culture.

In today’s media, biased reporting and anti-Israel agendas are prevalent, as the State of Israel is under relentless attack.
From the “spinning” of unfolding political events in order to display Israel in a negative light, to the misrepresenting facts, media outlets are providing the fuel which shapes negative public opinion and contributes to the Delegitimization of the State of Israel.
