1:27This message reflects one person's experience.
1:30Donald Trump is panicking as the top leadership in Iran has not been decimated.
1:36And they are out there saying, now that you killed our Ayatollah, Donald, we are
1:42coming for you. And we are not capitulating.
1:47We are not surrendering. And we are going to strike back with additional force.
1:52And don't think you will ever not be in our sight, Donald.
1:56So throughout the day yesterday, Donald Trump was like, we've decimated Iran.
2:01Iran has surrendered. Or Donald Trump would say, they need to totally surrender.
2:07But he also said, they have surrendered.
2:10And then he was asked, well, what do you mean by that?
2:12He goes, they need to cry uncle.
2:15If they cry uncle, then they will fully surrender.
2:18Like, what in the world are you talking about?
2:21So the president of Iran put out a statement that basically said, look, if you
2:26are a nation in the Middle East and you stop allowing the U .S.
2:32to use your air bases, we will stop attacking you with the Shahi drones and
2:36ballistic missiles. It is not our intention or our desire to strike around the Middle
2:41East. And then they also apologized to nations, which they were specifically seem to be
2:47talking about Turkey and Azerbaijan and saying, you know, we apologize for striking you.
2:53But if you strike us or if you allow the U .S.
2:57to use your bases, we're going to come after you, basically.
3:00And then the president of Iran also said, and let's be clear, we reject even
3:05the thought of a surrender to the United States, to which Donald Trump's like, aha,
3:11they've surrendered. OK, so in response to that, the foreign minister of Iran, who's been
3:16very vocal, is also the individual who attended the mediation with Steve Witkoff and Jared
3:22Kushner. We also talk for a second that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are the
3:27ones who are somehow involved in these high level mediations that are resulting in these
3:32devastating wars that are destroying so much of the United States of America.
3:36But I digress. The foreign minister of Iran put out the following statement, Foreign Minister
3:44Arachie. He says, President Pazeskian, who's the president of Iran, expressed openness to de -escalation
3:52within our region, provided that our neighbors, airspace, territory and waters are not used to
4:00attack the Iranian people. Gesture to our neighbors was almost immediately killed by President Trump.
4:31Responsibilities, determination and intent. If Mr.
4:34Trump seeks escalation, it is precisely what our powerful armed forces have long been prepared
4:40for and what he will get.
4:42Responsibility for any intensification of Iran's exercise of self -defense will lie squarely with the
4:49U .S. administration. Mr. Trump's week -long misadventure has already cost the U .S.
4:55military $100 billion, in addition to the lives of young soldiers.
4:59When markets reopen, that cost will balloon and directly be transferred to ordinary Americans at
5:06pumping stations. Mr. Trump's own National Intelligence Council represents...
5:11input from the 18 intelligence agencies of the U .S.
5:15determined that war in Iran is destined to fail.
5:18I also warned Mr. Trump's envoys that war will not improve the bargaining position.
5:24Were these warnings conveyed, the American people voted to end involvement in costly quagmires in
5:30the Middle East. Instead, they ended up with an administration that Netanyahu, after decades of
5:36failed attempts, finally managed to dupe into fighting Israel's wars.
5:41This is a war of choice pursued by a small cabal of Israel firsters, and
5:46Israel first always means America last.
5:50Now, I'm reading that to you just so you see what they're putting out in
5:55Iran, because you're probably not hearing that from American media.
5:59Is that Iranian propaganda? Is that Iranian spin on things?
6:04Absolutely. View it for what it is, but also view it for the fact that
6:09these people are not surrendering.
6:11They are not saying, oh, Donald, we're scared.
6:15You are making us very nervous, right?
6:17You have the Trump regime full of liars, the Netanyahu regime full of liars, and
6:24then you have the Iranian regime also full of liars.
6:27Brutal regimes responsible for lots of death and destruction, and they always kind of put
6:33out these lies, so it's hard to find the truth.
6:36But America once upon the time was a nation, flawed as it was, that led
6:42the international community through difficult issues.
6:45At this point, the United States has not just ceded the moral high ground.
6:50The United States has completely, to use a word from the Trump regime, decimated it.
6:56I'm going to show you in a moment also what the national security leader, Ali
7:02Larajani, just said in an interview.
7:05But first, one more post I want to share with you from Iranian Foreign Minister
7:10Aragchi. He says, the U .S.
7:15committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on the Kesham
7:22Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted.
7:26Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences.
7:31The U .S. set this precedent, not Iran.
7:34So what went down yesterday after Iran was speaking to other Middle East nations saying,
7:41all right, let's deescalate as it relates to you.
7:44If you stop allowing the United States to use your countries to attack Iran, then
7:49the Trump regime ratcheted up their invasion of Iran and started targeting oil facilities and
7:57key and critical infrastructure within Iran that the people depend on in order for them
8:03to live. For example, the United States and Israel began striking major Tehran oil refineries
8:11that supplied more than 50 % of Iran's energy in major, a major escalation.
8:18And you look at some of these videos from the oil depots that were blown
8:23up by the U .S.
8:24and Israel yesterday. It is straight out of Armageddon.
8:28It is straight out of the most dystopian of nightmarish visions of what a hellish
8:37future, a hellscape could look like.
8:40But here it is right now.
8:41I mean, Tehran's Tehran oil depot, completely consumed by massive blazes.
8:48And then it almost created like a river path because the oil was spilling out.
8:57And then across the streets, they were engulfed in flames right now.
9:02I mean, you see the spill of oil meeting the sewage system, creating a burning,
9:08flowing river in Iran as a result of what the United States has done after
9:14Iran tried to at least deescalate with some of its immediate neighbors in the Middle
9:19East, not with the United States, but with some of its neighbors in the Middle
9:23East. And all this is doing, and I think this is an important point to
9:27also put aside the United States propaganda for a moment.
9:31What this is doing, it is further radicalizing, or you can choose the term, further
9:37entrenching people in Iran to support the Islamic Republic, even people who were inclined to
9:45protest against the Ayatollah before, or protest the Islamic Republic, or really push for a
9:51different system there, right? They had an 85 -year -old Ayatollah, right?
9:56Now the people in the Islamic Republic are kind of rallying behind the country for
10:03all different reasons against Trump and Netanyahu.
10:06Trump has actually created some unprecedented unity in Iran right now.
10:12So this idea that he is causing the Iranian people to somehow be, you know,
10:18wanting to overthrow the Islamic Republic, quite the opposite.
10:21I mean, when the Trump regime blew up the school in Manab and killed 150
10:27children, and they did, it happened.
10:30It is almost an undisputed fact at this point, based on all of the satellite
10:34imagery, frankly, what our intelligence community is even briefing Congress on, that that - elementary
10:40school in Manab was hit by the United States.
10:42When they hit the desalination depots and factories, when they go after the energy infrastructure
10:49and the grid, they are hardening the resolve of Iranian people against the United States.
10:56It's counterproductive as well. So now the threats against Donald Trump's life as well.
11:03The Iranian national security leader, this guy, Larajani, who I've been covering before, Ali Larajani,
11:10he goes, we're not going to let Donald Trump off the hook.
11:14We won't let it go until we retaliate in kind.
11:18He killed our Ayatollah. He killed our leader.
11:22We won't rest until we retaliate in kind is the words that Larajani used.
11:29Here's his post. We won't let Trump off the hook.
11:32He must pay the price.
11:33He's martyred our leader and our people.
11:36Over a thousand civilians in Iran, maybe more have already been killed by the Trump
11:41regime. This isn't a simple matter.
11:44We won't let it go until we retaliate in kind.
11:47So let me show you what Larajani just said in an interview.
11:51We translated this using AIs, but it's an accurate translation.
11:55I want you to hear what Larajani said here.
11:58Larajani talks about retaliating against Trump, but you'll see the Iranians are not like, oh,
12:03we're going to surrender. Watch what Larajani says here.
12:06Play this clip. Mr. Trump got a little taste of Venezuela and he thought he
12:13could just do it immediately.
12:15Now he's stuck. We're not letting him go.
12:18He has to pay the price for this.
12:21He killed our leader. He martyred him.
12:24We will not let him go unpunished.
12:27He has martyred our people.
12:29More than a thousand of our people have been martyred.
12:32This is not as simple as it seems.
12:35Now more from Larajani right here.
12:38Let's play it. Initially, the Americans intended through this action to bring about the martyrdom
12:45of Iran's leadership and several of our commanders so that the situation inside Iran would
12:50be completely disrupted. Therefore, the first stage was the complete disruption of the administrative and
12:57in fact, the governmental structure.
13:02Americans thought this would be done very quickly.
13:06Their strategy was to end the war fiercely, but in a short time.
13:11But they didn't think Iranians wouldn't let them go.
13:15Now they are desperate. Their assumption was they'd strike and seize it like Venezuela and
13:23it would be done. But they got stuck.
13:28They thought that by first delivering such a heavy blow to Iran, they could completely
13:35destroy the people's morale and consequently destabilize the country's governmental structure.
13:42But this did not happen.
13:44And then finally, here's what Larajani says as well.
13:47Let's play this. This third clip of Larajani right here.
13:50Let's play it. Yes, we have suffered significant economic blows and their bombardments have been
13:55very heavy, but they did not achieve their goals and we will not let them
13:59off the hook. The Americans must understand that we will not abandon them.
14:03You have inflicted a deep wound upon our hearts and we will not let you
14:07go. You must accept that you no longer have the right to invade Iran.
14:12Admit that you acted audaciously.
14:14Which international law dictates that a nation, simply due to temptation, as they themselves have
14:19stated, is permitted to launch an attack on another country?
14:23Temptation led you to attack?
14:24We will make you fully understand what we will do to you.
14:27We will show you what kind of feeling temptation truly brings.
14:31In my opinion, our nation stands firm.
14:34Our officials are united on this issue.
14:37There is absolutely no disagreement within the country right now.
14:41In the fight against America and Israel, there is no division whatsoever.
14:45And we will not allow them to escape from this dangerous predicament.
14:50Now, Iran's Qatam al -Anbiya, Air Defense Headquarters spokesperson, says, We welcome the United States
15:00escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hermoz, adding that Iranian forces are waiting for
15:06the Americans. Entry may be on the surface, but the end will be at the
15:10bottom of the Persian Sea, the spokesman said.
15:13This warning comes as now Trump is floating the idea of doing U .S.
15:18naval escorts for oil tankers that are basically trapped and can't get out of the
15:24Strait of Hermoz at this point based on the war that the U .S.
15:28unleashed against Iran without any planning, without thinking that that was a possibility.
15:3320 % of the crude of the oil that's out there comes through the Strait
15:38of Hermoz, and it's all but shut down.
15:41And now the United States is like, we'll get insurance for the boats.
15:44But then like the United States doesn't even have the money to provide the appropriate
15:48insurance for the boats. And the boats are like, we aren't leaving.
15:51Even if you were to give us insurance, we're not going to die to go
15:55through the Strait of Hermoz.
15:56Sorry there. So the Trump is like, let's give you naval escorts.
16:00And now the Iranian leadership is saying, OK, we'll be waiting for you.
16:06You do that. We'll be waiting for you.
16:08And throughout this time, again, you have the United States, as you saw Larajani, you
16:13know, saying, here's all the things he's going to do to Trump.
16:15Iran is being bombed again.
16:18You know, you look at just some of these massive explosions, these mushroom clouds rising
16:23as U .S. and Israel continues to bombard Iran with missile strike after missile strike.
16:31You know about the elementary school incident.
16:34I've also told you about the incident that took place off of Sri Lanka, the
16:38Dena, as it's called, this boat that was participating in a parade in India.
16:44They were Iran's naval ship, the Dena, and their crew were guests in India.
16:50And part of the stipulation is that the Dena had to show up without being
16:55armed. And so the Navy ship for Iran showed up and everybody knew that the
17:01ship was there and they knew they were unarmed because that's one of the preconditions.
17:05And then as soon as the boat left Sri Lanka, the United States used a
17:09torpedo and blew it up as well, killing most of the crew.
17:13And then U .S. did not render aid or assistance to the naval crew that
17:19was drowning. The Sri Lankan Navy came and saved about 30 people from the boat.
17:25But that was just about it.
17:26Again, Iran continues to retaliate.
17:29You see the Islamic Revolutionary Guard striking a skyscraper near Dubai.
17:35You see them striking a Social Security building in Kuwait City.
17:43You see it right there.
17:45And by the way, I mean, as I mentioned before, you know, you have Kuwait
17:49shutting down its oil production at this point.
17:52You have Qatar shutting down its oil production at this point.
17:56And then His Highness, the Amir of Qatar, had a meeting with Donald Trump yesterday
18:04because they're flipping out in Qatar because, you know, Qatar, its main city, Doha, they
18:10have to advertise to the world that they're a safe place for investment.
18:14They're a good place for tourism.
18:16They've done everything they can to try to present Doha as a place of modernization
18:22and safety, right? Same thing in the United Arab Emirates.
18:25In Abu Dhabi and in Dubai, same thing.
18:28Now that these areas are being so frequently struck and hit by Iran, the veneer
18:36of safety is absolutely shattered.
18:40So Donald Trump really screwed over all of these individuals who sought to bribe him,
18:45right? All the quid pro quo deals, all the money they threw at Donald Trump
18:49personally. And just like his investors in the casinos and his note holders and the
18:54people who did business with him his entire life, Trump screwed you over.
18:58He screwed you over, bankrupted his thing, bankrupting you.
19:02That's what Donald Trump does.
19:04And so, yeah, the emir of the state of Qatar said, the escalation currently being
19:09witnessed in the region will have serious repercussions on international security and peace, and the
19:15crisis must be contained while intensifying diplomatic efforts.
19:20I mean, you know, you want to take a look at what's going on in
19:22the Iraqi parliament right now.
19:24They're doing death to America chants inside the Iraqi parliament.
19:29And this is what's going on throughout the Middle East at this point.
19:32The United States has now set off all of these sectarian issues that were being
19:39held, that were under control, but being held together by just a tiny thread the
19:45Trump regime just destroyed. And now you have Shiite, Sunni, Kurdish, you know, all these
19:54different groups right now at each other's throats again in the Middle East.
19:58Here's what was going on in the Iraqi parliament.
20:00Let me show you what was going down.
20:02Here, play this clip. Yeah, as I mentioned, two fuel depots at the Kuwaiti International
20:17Airport came under drone attack, causing massive fires in them.
20:22You had the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation announcing that in light of ongoing ingression by Iran
20:29against Kuwait, that ships through the Strait of Hermes, that KPC has implemented big precautionary
20:36reductions. Kuwait, OPEC's fifth biggest producer says it has reduced oil and refinery output as
20:44it's unable to export due to the closure of the Strait of Hermes at this
20:50point. Also, you know, so one of the things that the Trump regime did in
20:55their panic, but also in their desire to help Vladimir Putin is they removed their
21:01sanctions against Putin, allowing Putin to dump Russian oil into the markets, specifically India buying
21:09Russian oil. And the price of oil is so expensive right now that this is
21:14a massive, massive win for Russia.
21:17They're going to take that money that Russia is getting in order to buy weapons
21:20to further attack Ukraine at a time when the United States is asking Ukraine and
21:25Zelensky for help in shooting down the Shaheed drones and ballistic missiles.
21:29But here's the thing, Donald Trump allowing Russia to dump its oil and hell.
21:34helping enrich Putin, the price of crude is still going up significantly.
21:40Trump taking off Russian oil sanctions was supposed to bring down oil prices, Donald Trump
21:46thought, to balance out the negative of Putin's war machine, gaining an immediate tens of
21:51billions. But just look at it, the price of gas rose immediately, and with all
21:56of this taking place, you have the top US officials going on TV, just watch
22:03this, going on state regime media the other day, and now saying US is gonna
22:09seize all the oil from Iran.
22:11That's what we're gonna do.
22:12We're seizing Iranian oil here, play this clip.
22:14This is a long -term gain because what we wanna do is get such massive
22:18oil reserves in Iran out of the hands of terrorists.
22:21And so what we're gonna experience here in the short term is highly outweighed of
22:28the long -term benefit because ultimately, we're not gonna have to worry about these issues
22:32in the Strait of Hormuz because we're gonna get all of the oil out of
22:36the hands of terrorists. There you have it, folks.
22:39Let me know what you think.
22:40A lot going on, a lot going on there.
