Trump Panics as Iran Makes Final Demands
4/11/202614 mincomplete
0:00Donald Trump is panicking as Iran has issued its final demands during these purported peace
0:06talks that are taking place in Islamabad.
0:09Iran said, it's impossible to negotiate with Donald Trump and his regime since they lie
0:16about everything. So we're just imposing our demands.
0:19They either meet our demands or they don't.
0:22And now they said, we'll get into technical talks about how to implement our demands,
0:28which include control over the Strait of Hormuz, full reparations, as well as long -term
0:35security guarantees for Iran and its proxy groups throughout the Middle East.
0:40Here you have Iran's deputy foreign minister, Kazem Garibadi.
0:45He says that Tehran is making demands in the current talks with the United States
0:50rather than engaging in ordinary negotiations, citing Washington's record of dishonesty and deception.
0:59He says Iran is demanding not just negotiating with the United States.
1:04Now, Iran has also put this out on its social media accounts.
1:08This discussion is centered on our demands, and they put that in all caps, rather
1:14than being a negotiation. They also posted time to seal the victory in beautiful Islamabad.
1:22And just to remind you what some of these demands are, authority over the Strait
1:26of Hormuz, payment of war reparations, unfreezing of all blocked Iranian financial assets, securing a
1:33comprehensive regional ceasefire and permanent security guarantees for itself and for all of its proxy
1:41groups. And one of the things that Iran continues to do is just mock Donald
1:48Trump's post. I mean, Trump's been making post after post this morning.
1:51You know, so Donald Trump did a post.
1:53The Iranians don't seem to realize they have no cards other than a short -term
1:58extortion of the world by using international waterways.
2:02Now, Tehran responded by saying, the latest attempts at psychological warfare against Iran, we are
2:09masters of this, with a smiley face emoji.
2:13And according to Iran, they're saying the U .S.
2:16has agreed to already release part of Iran's frozen assets, which was a precondition to
2:22start the negotiation. The Trump regime denies that they released Iranian funds.
2:28Iran says that those funds have been released.
2:30So there's a dispute there.
2:31There's also a dispute over an incident that took place in the Strait of Hormuz.
2:36The Trump regime leaked to its favorite propagandist from Axios, Barack Ravid, the following.
2:42Several U .S. Navy ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, a senior U
2:48.S. official tells me. The move was not coordinated with Iran.
2:52This is the first time U .S.
2:54warships have crossed the Strait of Hormuz since the war has begun.
2:59Ravid goes on to say, the senior American official said that the warships crossed the
3:03Strait of Hormuz from east to west into the Gulf, then made their way back
3:08eastward through the Strait to the Arabian Sea.
3:11This was an operation focused on freedom of navigation through international waters, the senior American
3:18official said. So according to the American side of this story, they sent a number
3:23of destroyer ships, which go about 35, 40 miles.
3:27per hour to do an east -to -west trip in the Strait of Hormuz, and
3:34they said they were not encountered by any Iranian ships.
3:37And they did this, apparently, they claim, during these sensitive negotiations that are taking place
3:43in Islamabad in Pakistan. Now, according to the Iranian side of it, Iran denies U
3:50.S. warship passage. Iran's Tasman news agency says a senior Iranian security official categorically rejected
3:58the Axios reporting, claiming that U .S.
4:00Navy vessels had transited the Strait of Hormuz today, emphasizing that no ships have passed
4:07through the strategic waterway since the ceasefire took place.
4:11Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said the following, U .S.
4:15destroyer was forced to retreat, that a U .S.
4:19destroyer attempted to enter the Strait of Hormuz and was forced to retreat after receiving
4:24an unequivocal warning from Iran's armed forces, preventing a potential ceasefire violation.
4:31And what apparently took place during these mediated negotiations in Islamabad, according to the Iran
4:38side, they saw the destroyer that was being sent by Trump into the Strait of
4:42Hormuz while these negotiations were taking place.
4:45You had Iran's parliament leader, MB Galibov, and their foreign minister, Aragji, told the prime
4:52minister, Sharif of Pakistan, hey, they're sending a destroyer into the Strait of Hormuz.
4:59We're going to leave these negotiations if that destroyer stays there.
5:03That was conveyed to the U .S.
5:05side, and the destroyer turned around.
5:07According to the Trump version of events, the destroyer has traveled all throughout the Strait
5:12of Hormuz and was not encountered by any naval vessels or military vessels of Iran.
5:19Barack Ravid from Axios then writes, senior American officials said we have not received any
5:26threat from Iran to attack the ship so that they were going to attack the
5:30ships. Iranian military officials say no U .S.
5:34vessel ended up crossing the Strait of Hormuz.
5:35You can see right here the Pakistan mediations taking place.
5:40You see the Iranian negotiators.
5:42As I mentioned earlier, Iran sent a team of basically like a dozen of its
5:49top leaders, people very familiar with nuclear energy and nuclear capabilities, lots of PhDs.
5:59All of their kind of top, top leaders showed up.
6:03On the other hand, the United States sent J .D.
6:06Vance and Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
6:10And I just think it's notable again that Trump is sending Witkoff and Kushner, who
6:16botched the negotiations last time.
6:19And there's no one in the room for the United States who has any understanding
6:23of nuclear capability. So when they're talking about the technical aspects of things, Iran has
6:30people who very much know all the technical aspects of nuclear capabilities and enrichment and
6:36all of that. And on the other side, the U .S.
6:39doesn't. And the U .S., there's no other U .S.
6:41allies. I don't think there's any other U .S.
6:43allies that exist anymore, quite frankly, that, you know, that exists at this point other
6:49than Donald Trump doing what Netanyahu tells him to do.
6:51But like there's no NATO allies, there's no experience in the room on the U
6:55.S. side of things. Now, again, Iran says U .S.
7:00released money to them. U .S.
7:02denies that. White House is saying today reports regarding approval to release.
7:06Iranian assets are false claims.
7:08And then Donald Trump starts making his post after post after post.
7:11Trump Post this morning, the fake news media lost all credibility.
7:15The fake news media has lost total credibility.
7:18Not that they had any to begin with because of their massive Trump derangement syndrome.
7:22They love saying that Iran is winning when, in fact, everyone knows that they are
7:27losing and they are losing big.
7:29And Donald Trump says, praise be to Allah.
7:31He says that their longtime leaders of Iran are no longer with us.
7:36Praise be to Allah. I mean, again, just think about it.
7:40Like you're in this negotiation right now.
7:42People are trying to resolve this.
7:44And he's mocking the killing of Iranian leaders and mocking their religion by saying, praise
7:50be to Allah. The only thing they have going is the threat that a ship
7:53may bunk into one of their sea mines, which, by the way, all 28 of
7:58their mind dropper boats are also lying at the bottom of the sea.
8:01We're now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favor
8:05to countries all over the world, including China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and many
8:11others. Incredibly, they don't have the courage or will to do this work themselves.
8:16Very interestingly, however, empty oil carrying ships from many nations are all heading to the
8:22United States of America to load up with oil.
8:25Thank you for your attention to this matter.
8:27He posted that one early in this morning.
8:29But didn't you say, Donald, that you were just going to leave the Strait of
8:32Hormuz and everybody else can deal with it?
8:34So if you think that the Strait of Hormuz doesn't impact American oil prices, why
8:38are you doing it as a favor to them?
8:40Do you know how pathetic that looks that you're saying, oh, I'm just helping them
8:43out. I'm doing them a solid.
8:45Then Donald Trump goes on to say, I'm watching fertilizer prices closely during our fight
8:51for freedom in Iran. That's what they're calling it now.
8:54Our fight for freedom. As you have ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo killing Americans and
9:02killing people off the streets here in the United States.
9:06As you have turned the United States into an authoritarian country, you're saying that we
9:11are fighting for freedom by what?
9:13By you and Netanyahu blowing up elementary schools in Iran and Lebanon and Gaza.
9:19That's fighting for the American people's freedom right now.
9:22I mean, this is just so pathetic.
9:23He goes, the United States will not accept price gouging from the fertilizer monopoly.
9:29American farmers, we have your back.
9:32You're going to bail them out again because you screwed over the farmers before.
9:35You're screwing them over now.
9:36There's a reason why your approval is at an all -time low.
9:39Donald Trump then goes, massive numbers of completely empty oil tankers.
9:43Some of the largest anywhere in the world are heading right.
9:46What's the largest? The oil tankers are big.
9:48The largest anywhere in the world are heading right now to the United States to
9:53load up with the best and sweetest oil and gas.
9:56Weird dude. Anywhere in the world, we have more oil than the next two largest
10:01oil economies combined and higher quality.
10:04We are waiting for you.
10:05Quick turnaround. Yeah, there was more oil being produced in the United States under Biden
10:10than during you on your first term.
10:12Yes, there's lots of oil production.
10:14But do you understand the way oil has to actually be dealt with before it
10:19actually is utilized? Do you understand the way international oil markets work?
10:24You don't. And he posts a random picture of the White House.
10:27Then he continues to say, the fake news media is crazy or just plain corrupt.
10:31The United States has completely destroyed Iran's military, including their entire Navy and Air Force
10:36and everything else. Their leadership is dead.
10:39The Strait of Hormuz will soon be open and the empty ships are rushing to
10:43the United States to load up.
10:44But if you listen to the fake news, we're losing.
10:47No, I listen to my ears and my eyes.
10:49I see that Iran's leadership is in Pakistan, in Islamabad, making demands and treating the
10:58United States as the weak party in this negotiation.
11:02I see Iran's foreign minister, their parliament leader.
11:05I see them pulling up in Mercedes Maybachs in Pakistan, being greeted by heroes in
11:12Pakistan. I see the people cheering them on.
11:15I see I actually see their leadership.
11:17They are emboldened. They are certainly more powerful in the region than before the war
11:22started. You said there was going to be regime change and the people of Iran
11:26were going to rise up and there was going to be this pro -Trump and
11:30Netanyahu Iran that was going to take place and you were going to control everything.
11:36And now you're running with your tail between your legs and trying to give in
11:41and just giving into Iran's demands as they're out there just bragging.
11:45We're not negotiating. We're making demands on the United States because that's the only language
11:50they know. So that's what we know is actually happening right now, Donald.
11:54I mean, as I mentioned before, here's the room right there.
11:57You can see the meeting of the Iranian negotiating, but all their leaders are dead.
12:00They don't have anybody, right?
12:02I mean, the way you've stereotyped Iran, you made people believe that these were like
12:07people like living in caves and just screaming Allah Akbar all day.
12:11And you're the one screaming praise be Allah as you say.
12:14I'm going to rain down hell on you.
12:16Praise be Allah. You look like a freaking maniac out of all of this.
12:19And by the way, one of the things that have been happening still over the
12:23past 24 hours alone, while Lebanon was included in the ceasefire deal because Iran wanted
12:30to protect its proxy groups, and this was the ceasefire agreement that the Trump regime
12:34agreed to, you have Israel attacking Lebanon again.
12:39In addition to earlier this week in the biggest attack on Lebanon and Beirut were
12:44250 people died and there was over a thousand casualties.
12:47Despite the ongoing face -to -face negotiations between Iran and the United States and Islamabad,
12:53which are now apparently advancing into technical talks on a potential peace deal, fighting continues
12:58between Israel and Lebanon. In the last 24 hours alone, the Israeli Air Force reported
13:03that it has carried out over 200 strikes on Hezbollah targets and infrastructure, Hezbollah military
13:10and infrastructure and other targets in southern Lebanon.
