It would be good if she could name the experts who said that Iran does not have the capability to destroy that armada including naming the weapon that is going to be used to stop hypersonic missiles that will be speeding towards theses warships.

It’s ongoing conflict of power and resistance in the region, may be since 5000 years. We have few years to observe……,

It’s such a shame that with your budget, resources, crew, and all the possibilities you have, you once again end up producing such non-substantive, amateurish material.
Why don’t you hire, or at least invite, people who actually know what they’re talking about—military, political, and economic EXPERTS—instead of people who can barely repeat cheap cliché slogans and whose knowledge seems limited to newspaper headlines? There’s no deep analysis of potential outcomes and consequences for the people of Iran, for the region, or for the world—what it all could result in; what about the regime; what the “right thing to do” is—a valid question, as we clearly see a dilemma. But there’s none of that, and there’s also no technical or military knowledge at all (I mean… just listen to 4:38), which is crucial when we ask ourselves how the events could play out, what’s realistic, and what is not.
I’m sorry, but once again it was a total waste of time. It’s a real shame.

Could the killing of over 200 school children (some as young as 13) during the last month protests in Iran be a story? (it's confirmed by teacher's association in Iran)

Stop guessing. Jut like the previous attack on Iran, this could very well be very different. No one will know for sure. That is the objective.
