Claims of Failed US Raid on Kharg Island and Officer's Confession

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Today we are truly

witnessing an exceptional development by every measure.

Dear viewers, we continue with you and with us preliminary footage of what appears

to be a military operation that took place a short while ago near Kharg oil island.

A U.S. special forces unit attempted to carry

out an airdrop operation over one of the oil facilities on the island,

but what happened just a few minutes later changed the course

of the operation completely. According to field sources,

units of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard had detected the aerial movements early on,

and deployed across the island before the attacking force arrived.

The footage we are seeing

now shows armed personnel moving from several directions around the landing site,

where an ambush was set up inside the vicinity of the oil

facility just moments after the soldiers reached the ground. A brief clash

broke out in the area around the oil tanks,

before the forces of Iran were able

to take control of the main passageways inside the facility and encircle the U.S.

force. And sources indicate that the soldiers who were captured inside the island

were transferred, where some of them underwent initial interrogation by

Revolutionary Guard officers.

And according to what has been circulated,

one of the officers who took part in the landing operation gave initial statements

about the nature of the mission and the party behind it. And we have

now obtained these

exclusive clips that document part of those confessions,

and we will watch them with you shortly. Officer, first tell us your name,

and tell us why your forces

chose to storm our island directly. Was the motive just to seize the oil,

or were there other military objectives?

And how do you explain the failure of the operation in this way in front of the

Revolutionary Guard,

which uncovered all your movements in advance? My name is Jonathan Friedman,

and I am the commander

of the special force that carried out this operation.

I want to begin with a full confession.

What happened on your island was not just a tactical plan gone wrong,

but a profound lesson,

a lesson that revealed the limits of our power the

real one in front of an organized force like the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

The operation was at the direct request of President Trump.

The objective was twofold:

first, to take control of the island itself.

Second, to control the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.

The island is not just a geographic point,

it is the heart of the vital maritime routes

through which about one third of global oil exports pass. Controlling

it would have meant the ability to pressure Iran and our allies,

and even Russia and China if necessary. Trump was planning to turn the island into

a permanent military base. Radar stations, helicopter landing pads, weapons depots,

and strategic communication points.

Everything was prepared to secure the area completely,

and to control the movement of commercial and military ships.

He believed that having a base there would strengthen America’s position in the

Gulf and put direct pressure on Iran. Our plan was clear,

and according to the intelligence information Based on what we had,

the operation had to be precise and fast.

We were supposed to deploy our soldiers by rope from helicopters,

secure the oil facilities,

and establish control before the Guards Corps could move.

But the reality was completely different.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards were extremely alert. They sensed

our presence just a few minutes before our forces landed,

and they spread across the island in an organized way,

as if they knew our every move in advance.

The result was a well- prepared ambush at the oil tanks.

A brief clash broke out there.

We were unable to secure the vital passages inside the island,

and the helicopters were flying at low altitude, unable to intervene for fear for

the safety of our soldiers. Simply put,

we were not ready for such a confrontation.

The repercussions of the operation were not limited to the military side.

A few hours later,

there was a partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz,

which affected the movement of oil tankers and American warships.

Global oil prices rose significantly.

And we were forced to recalculate all our plans in the region.

The island is not just a military target,

It is a pivotal element in the global economy and in energy security.

And it was clear that any operation on it would not be without a price,

neither politically nor economically. I will not hide from you, there was an

inner feeling of frustration and failure.

President Trump wanted the operation as a symbolic and strategic step to show

American power and to create a permanent base. But he did not realize how alert

the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was.

Their forces were more professional than we expected,

and they set up an ambush in minutes. They woke up before we did.

The intelligence was not accurate enough to confront a trained

army and a professional force that knows every detail of the land we were entering.

This experience taught us that military power alone is not enough,

and that success depends on

precise knowledge of the field reality and on the speed of decision- making.

The first thing we grasped after the operation was that the failure was not only

tactical, In fact, it was a strategic lesson.

This failure pushed us to completely reassess our presence in the Gulf and all our

future plans in the region. Every step now has to take into account

the Revolutionary Guard’s ability to respond

quickly and control the island and influence the Strait of Hormuz. Do you think this

operation was justified from a legal and international standpoint,

or was it simply an overreach of Iranian sovereignty for the sake of

America’s oil and military interests? From our internal perspective,

the operation was considered part of our regional strategy to ensure the stable flow

of oil and protect our economic and security interests. Of course, we

recognize today that

this does not justify directly violating sovereignty,

and that we could have been viewed internationally in a very negative light.

But within the American administration,

there was a perception that controlling

the island would give us a strategic advantage that could not be underestimated,

Especially with rising tensions in the region.

We did not fully take into account the repercussions of diplomacy,

and that is part of the reason the operation failed on every level. Militarily,

the plan was solid on our side on paper, but it did not

take into account the superior organizational capacity

of the Revolutionary Guard or their field knowledge of every corner of the island.

Quite simply, we were not prepared to face such an organized force in a

populated land with defensive fortifications. The biggest lesson was that any

move in the region needs a careful assessment of all military, economic, political,

and diplomatic factors. Ignoring any one of them may lead to disaster,

as we have seen. After this failed operation,

what lessons did America take to change its strategy in the Gulf,

and will it try again? The lessons were harsh, but they were clear.

Any operation must be supported by immediate and accurate intelligence information.

And not just plans on paper. Also, we realized that the island is not just a

military target,

but part of a larger system that includes the Strait of Hormuz

and the global economy. Any military move there

will have worldwide repercussions on oil prices, shipping traffic,

and regional stability.

And we have learned that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is a real force,

not only in terms of armament, but in terms of discipline, organization,

and rapid response. As for repeating the operation, I say frankly, there is no

longer any intention to carry out a similar direct attack in the near future.

The American strategy now is based on caution, surveillance,

and reinforcing our naval positions in other locations away from direct clashes,

relying on diplomatic pressure and economic pressure to achieve our

goals instead of a direct confrontation that could lead to catastrophic results.

But the strategic objective remains the same: controlling

the flow of oil and ensuring influence in the Gulf. While reducing direct

military risks. It became clear that force alone is not enough,

and that any move against Iran must take into account all these dimensions.

In short, what happened on your island was

a historic lesson for all American leadership: never underestimate

the opponent’s field capabilities,

the importance of accurate intelligence,

and the impact of any move on the global economy and

maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.

The experience taught us a lot and pushed

us to rethink every step in the region, realizing that the island is

not just a geographic location, but a truly strategic center that affects the

entire world.
