Summary
A presenter in the broadcast said the U.S. blamed Soleimani and allied militias for a siege of the U.S. embassy and multiple attacks on U.S. bases, including one the presenter said killed a U.S. contractor; the presenter also asserted Soleimani "was plotting imminent and sinister attacks" and that "we caught him in the act."
A presenter said the United States blamed Soleimani and associated militias for the recent siege of the U.S. embassy and for nearly a dozen attacks on U.S. bases. The presenter said one recent attack "killed a U.S. contractor."
The presenter asserted that Soleimani "was plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats and military personnel" and added, "but we caught him in the act." Those statements were presented on-air as the presenter's report of U.S. accusations rather than independent findings in the transcript.
The broadcast described the aftermath of the attacks as "deliberate and sustained" and noted that during Friday prayers congregants chanted "death to America." The presenter also said that fighters loyal to Soleimani "killed more than 600 American troops during the Iraq war," a figure given in the broadcast as the presenter's claim.
The transcript does not record on-air responses from named U.S. officials or from anyone identified as representing Soleimani. The statements about plotting, responsibility for the embassy siege, casualty counts, and the death of a contractor are presented as allegations or attributed claims in the broadcast, and the transcript offers no immediate, independent corroboration.
