Gotta do a little better than taking pot shots at our bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq.

Grok translation: Here's the English translation of the video subtitles (Urdu/Pashto):
"In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings upon His trustworthy Messenger. We are the guardians of the Muslims and Afghan nation. On behalf of the Islamic Emirate, we announce: We fully support the attacks Israel has carried out on Iran. Because Iran is a state of fitna/sedition. They have conspired against Muslims and destroyed Afghan culture. Whoever takes action against Iran, we fully support them—whether Israel or anyone else."
The speaker (Qari Khalid/Ashna) is a senior TTP (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan) Shura commander, not Al-Qaeda proper (though TTP has long had ties to AQ). So the video content is real and matches her description of the declaration—but the group label is imprecise.

Khamenei finds out it's actually "72 Virginians".
