1:15Donald Trump just fully surrendered to Iran, giving Iran full control over the Strait of
1:23Hormuz, recognizing Iran's ability to coordinate all maritime traffic, all the traffic of tankers through
1:32the Strait of Hormuz. And it's unclear Donald Trump even knows the deal that he
1:38just agreed to, because Donald Trump is now posting, we've reopened the Strait of Hormuz.
1:43The biggest deal has been made.
1:46What's going to happen with the failing New York Times and this news company?
1:50How could they criticize me now?
1:52Donald, you may want to look at the details of a deal that you just
1:56agreed to, or maybe you know those terms.
1:59And once again, you are manipulating the market.
2:02So earlier this morning, the foreign minister of Iran, Aragji, posted the following message.
2:09In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through Strait
2:17of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated
2:25route, as already announced by ports and maritime organizations of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
2:33Now, the key words in this post and this announcement is on the coordinated route,
2:40as already announced by ports and maritime organization.
2:43That's the route that goes right by the Iranian coast, so that Iran fully controls
2:50the Strait, that Iran can charge tolls, that this is all under the coordination of
2:56Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
2:59Now, the fact that Donald Trump would even spike the football, that the Strait of
3:04Hormuz is open, when it was opened, prior to Donald Trump launching this unlawful and
3:10catastrophic war, already shows you what a loser Donald Trump is.
3:15But not only is the Strait of Hormuz not open, it is now fully in
3:20the control of the Islamic Republic, as announced by this social media post right here.
3:25What does Donald Trump post?
3:27Well, Trump is now calling it the Strait of Iran, and by the way, Iranian
3:33social media accounts are mocking Donald Trump for calling it the Strait of Iran.
3:38Donald Trump's post in all caps moments ago was, Iran has just announced that the
3:44Strait of Iran is fully open and ready for full passage.
3:49Thank you. Then Donald Trump posts, the Strait of Hormuz is completely open and ready
3:55for business in full passage, but the naval blockade, he's saying the U .S.
4:00naval blockade of the Persian Gulf will remain in full force and effect as it
4:05pertains to Iran only until such time as our transaction with Iran is 100 %
4:12complete. This process should go very quickly in that most of the points are already
4:17negotiated. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J.
4:21Trump. Now, Barack Ravid, who the Trump regime leaks all of their information to, Axios
4:27is reporting that the United States is thinking about giving Iran $20 billion in exchange
4:35for Iran voluntarily agreeing to stop enriching uranium to weapons grade.
4:42It would be voluntary. It would be under Iran's full control for voluntary compliance.
4:49Iran would make voluntary disclosures that it is not enriching the uranium to weapons grade.
4:55But I just want you to think about how much weaker that deal would be
5:00than what former President Obama negotiated over a decade ago.
5:05It went from a multilateral agreement with real controls to ensure there was no weapons
5:11grade uranium enrichment to now voluntary disclosures by Iran.
5:16And now Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz through a coordinated path that Iran controls.
5:23Donald Trump then also says, Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz
5:28again. It will no longer be used as a weapon against the world.
5:32Donald J. Trump. And it wasn't before you started the unlawful, catastrophic war with Netanyahu
5:38against Iran to begin with, as we posted on the Midas Touch accounts, he got
5:44the Strait closed, disrupted the entire global economy, exploded gas prices, wrecked our alliances, killed
5:52thousands of innocent people, including young girls at a school, depleted American missile stockpiles, degraded
6:00our Middle East military bases and destroyed America's global standing, only to get the Strait
6:07reopened on Iran's terms and potentially give them $20 billion.
6:13The art of the deal, Donald, our editor in chief, Ron Filipkowski goes, nobody declares
6:20victory after losses more often and as loudly as Donald Trump.
6:25Now, Filipkowski also writes, they only closed the Strait when Trump and Israel started a
6:31massive bombing campaign, killing their leaders and schoolchildren.
6:35It's also interesting that we can now apparently take them at their word on this
6:41because Iran says we won't enrich uranium.
6:44We got to trust the Iranians.
6:46Iran says that we won't ever close the Strait of Hormuz again.
6:51Yeah, let's just trust the Iranians.
6:53That's what Donald Trump's position is right now.
6:55And for all of the Lindsey Graham's and the Jesse Waters and all these people,
6:59we will control the Strait of Hormuz.
7:01It's quite literally under the control of the Iranians right now and Coulter.
7:06Right wing commentator says the following.
7:09Yay. The Strait of Hormuz was open before we began bombing Iran.
7:12It's open again. Everybody pretend this is a huge victory for Trump.
7:17So he'll end this catastrophe.
7:19Now, the Iranian social media accounts are saying the following bad mood, straight of Trump,
7:25normal mood, straight of Hormuz, good mood, straight of Iran.
7:31Now, Tasnim, one of Iran's state run media organizations, says the following.
7:37Here are Iran's conditions for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.
7:41Only commercial vessels are permitted.
7:43No military ships or cargo linked to hostile countries.
7:48Ships must use routes designated by Iran.
7:51All transit must be coordinated with Iranian authorities.
7:56And the Strait of Hormuz transits will require Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps permission on a
8:04tanker by tanker basis. You show up with the tanker, you go right by the
8:08Iranian coast, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards right there.
8:12They ask you questions. If you pass their test, then you can go through.
8:17That is what Donald Trump has agreed to.
8:19You remember last week when Donald Trump was like, I agreed to the 10 point
8:24framework of Iran. And then he pretended, oh, I didn't agree to the 10 point
8:29framework. Once again, you've just agreed to these terms.
8:32And I'm just explaining to you what the terms are.
8:35There's not a dispute that the terms that Trump agreed to are this.
8:39Now, Trump will try to say that's not what it is, but it is.
8:43I mean, that's just like this is public information and we need to just deal
8:47with the reality. Iranian officials are also telling one of their other state media organizations
8:53far as the following. If Trump's maritime blockade continues, it will be considered a violation
8:59of the ceasefire and the Strait of Hormuz transit route will be closed.
9:04Now. All right. I want to tell you about something I've actually been using and
9:07genuinely like one skin. And what caught my attention right away is that this isn't
9:11just another skincare brand. It's built by longevity scientists, you know, like people with actual
9:15PhDs who are actually studying how aging works at the cellular level.
9:19So instead of just covering things up, they asked, what if you could actually slow
9:23skin aging at the source?
9:25That's where their OS -1 peptide comes in.
9:27It's designed to target these so -called zombie cells, the damaged cells that drive wrinkles
9:32and loss of elasticity. I've been using it consistently.
9:35My go -tos are the OS -1 face and the OS -1 eye.
9:38And what I've noticed is my skin just feels healthier, smoother, more even, and honestly,
9:42just easier to maintain without a complicated routine.
9:45It absorbs really well. It doesn't feel heavy.
9:47And it just fits into my day without overthinking it.
9:50And this isn't just anecdotal.
9:51One Skin has four peer -reviewed clinical studies, over 10 ,000 five -star reviews, and
9:56has been featured by Bloomberg as a leader in skin longevity.
9:59Born from over a decade of longevity research, One Skin's OS -1 peptide is proven
10:04to target the visible signs of aging, helping you unlock your healthiest skin now and
10:08as you age. For a limited time, try One Skin with 15 % off using

10:30A social media account that's very close to MbGalabaf, Iran's parliament leader and the lead
10:36negotiator in these discussions between Pakistan as the mediator and the United States.
10:43This account very close to...
10:44Galibov says the following, the announcement of the opening of the Strait of Hormuz has
10:49been made under completely specific conditions and in full coordination with the forces responsible for
10:56the matter, and it will practically be highly limited.
10:59This passage, which is contingent on the continued implementation of the ceasefire conditions, will have
11:05three conditions. First, the passage will take place along the route designated by Iran.
11:11Entry into the strait will be from the north of the Larik Island.
11:14An exit from the strait will be from the south of Larik, and in this
11:18way, the Strait of Hormuz will be fully transferred to Iran's territorial waters.
11:23This is a historic, unprecedented, and enduring change in the Persian Gulf, ensuring Iran's sovereignty
11:30over the strait forever. In this manner, Iran is in fact carrying out an unprecedented
11:35rerouting of operation in the strait.
11:37The second condition, which is also mentioned in the foreign minister's tweet, is that only
11:42commercial ships will have the right to pass through the strait.
11:46The right to pass through the strait.
11:47The determination of which ships are commercial will be up to Iran, and this will
11:52naturally exclude any vessels with connections to the enemy, thus making the passage practically limited
11:59by Iran's determination and not free.
12:02Passing commercial vessels will also be required to pay Iran tolls for the security provision.
12:08The third condition is that the passage will be carried out in coordination with Iran's
12:13forces responsible for navigation in the strait, namely the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy.
12:20Considering all these conditions together, passage through the strait will be limited, subject to toll
12:25payments, and managed by Iran.
12:28And this is precisely what Iran has been pursuing since the beginning of the war
12:33and is now imposing on the United States of America, imposing terms of surrender.
12:40So I don't want to hear this ridiculous propaganda that acts like this is some
12:45major victory for the United States when it is not.
12:48It is a loss. It is a major loss for the United States.
12:53It is the worst deal, perhaps, in American history.
12:57You have Danny Citrinitz, who was an Israeli foreign policy analyst for this specific region,
13:04for Iran and for the Middle East.
13:07Here's what he describes, and as our editor -in -chief Ron Filipkowski writes about his
13:11description, so over a month of bombings, lives lost, global economy disrupted, billions in taxpayer
13:18dollars gone, alliances weakened, depleted stockpiles for this.
13:22Here's what he says. I'm concerned that in this round, Iran came out with the
13:26upper hand. It demonstrated not only its ability to threaten the Strait of Hormuz, which
13:31it effectively controls, but also its willingness to keep it closed until conditions align with
13:38its interests while refusing to yield to U .S.
13:41demands. Only after pressure from Trump on the Israeli prime minister and the subsequent ceasefire
13:47in Lebanon was the Strait reopened in line with the commitments tied to that agreement.
13:52The takeaway from this episode is clear.
13:55Iran not only holds leverage over the Strait, but any future arrangements with Tehran will
14:01have to be credibly enforced.
14:03Otherwise, the Hormuz card can and likely will once again be played.
14:09Iran is not entering the next round from a position of weakness.
14:13From Tehran's perspective, it may have made tactical concessions since it is clear that even
14:18any closure of the Strait in the coming weeks, given the volume of tanker traffic
14:22would have been inflicts significant pain on global markets, but strategically it reinforced its core
14:27message. It sets the terms in this arena and will not accept dictates in this
14:33way from outside powers. And if Israel were to violate the ceasefire, the strait would
14:39likely be closed again. And Donald Trump's out there now saying, thank you, Saudi Arabia,
14:45UAE and Qatar for your great bravery and help.
14:47You want to know what they're thinking?
14:49You just allowed Iran to control the strait of Hormuz, you idiot.
14:54Good luck with us investing in more American private equity, real estate, treasuries.
15:01Good luck there, Donald. And then, of course, Donald Trump uses the opportunity to take
15:05a shot at NATO. Now that the Hormuz situation is over, I received a call
15:11from NATO. He did, and he's just making this up, asking if we would need
15:15some help. I told them, stay away unless they just want to load up their
15:19ships with oil. They were just as useless when we needed them as a paper
15:23tiger. DJT. Other commentators are pointing out that if Donald Trump just left the JCPOA
15:31that Obama negotiated, the strait of Hormuz would actually be open, not what's happening right
15:37now, not under the control of Iran.
15:39And there would actually be multilateral mechanisms to ensure Iran was not enriching uranium to
15:46weapons grade and not having now a voluntary system of, trust me, bro.
15:51And remember the Trump regimes and MAGA's big thing about Obama, you gave $1 .7
15:58billion to Iran in cash on airplanes.
16:02Well, that didn't actually happen.
16:04What did happen is dating back before the Iranian revolution, there were disagreements regarding whether
16:11the United States was obligated to fund certain obligations or not.
16:15In connection with the JCPOA, a settlement was reached through international tribunals to pay a
16:22resolution that predated the Iranian revolution.
16:26And because there were sanctions on Iran, by the way, a lot of which the
16:30Trump regime has removed, American dollars had to be converted into other currency to make
16:36that settlement payment back then.
16:38But already, based on lifting sanctions of Iranian oil and what's now being contemplated by
16:44the Trump regime, giving $20 billion in cash to Iran for a voluntary mechanism where
16:51Iran says, trust me, bro, we're not going to enrich uranium.
16:55Donald Trump has done the worst deal, as I've said in history, that can only
16:59be interpreted as a full surrender.
17:02What are people in the crude industry saying?
17:05What are oil execs and oil industry people saying right now about the straight?
17:10So here's what one account that covers this in detail says, guys, if the precondition
17:16is cooperation with the IRGC and Iranian authorities and transiting only through Iranian designated lanes,
17:24that's not a reopening in any real sense.
17:27The ship owners I've been in contact with say they're going to wait and see.
17:33I expect to see a partial recovery in traffic, but of course it will be
17:37limited too. So now you have all the data and all the information to truly
17:42understand what this is about.
17:43Now, knowing it, you may say, I like that.
17:47Thankfully, this is done. Iran controls it.
17:49This is all good. You may say, Donald, this is a great victory.
17:55I don't think that. I think it's the biggest loss.
17:57I think it's capitulation, surrender, and I think that Trump and Netanyahu's war crimes need
18:03to be held accountable in the Hague.
18:05That's my opinion. But I share my opinion at the end of this video.
18:09I don't load my opinion.
18:11I go fact, fact, fact.
18:12This is why I come to this opinion.
