2:44All hell is breaking loose now that Iran has rejected Donald Trump's 48 -hour ultimatum.
2:51Get out of the Strait of Hormuz, or else we are going to unleash an
2:56attack on Iran's energy infrastructure.
3:00Iran responded, you do that.
3:02We're going after the energy infrastructure and other infrastructure of Arab nations that support the
3:08United States of America, to which Donald Trump is now escalating matters.
3:14And according to sources in Israel, a ground invasion of Iran appears to be imminent
3:19with those marine expeditionary units that are on their way to the Middle East.
3:25So let's talk about what's gone down.
3:28And we also need to talk about something that's not getting nearly enough attention, that
3:33the flow of LNG, liquefied natural gas, from the Gulf is expected to come to
3:41an abrupt end in the next 10 days.
3:45There will be no more LNG from the Middle East.
3:49That would be absolutely catastrophic.
3:52Let's talk about the sequence of events.
3:55Donald Trump makes the ultimatum, all caps, social media posts, abandon the Strait of Hormuz,
4:02Iran, or else, to which Iran says, you can threaten us.
4:07We're not responding to threats.
4:09And here's what Foreign Minister Aragji of Iran writes.
4:13Strait of Hormuz is not closed.
4:15Ships hesitate because insurers fear the war of choice you initiated, not Iran.
4:20No insurer or no Iranian will be swayed by more threats.
4:23Try respect. Freedom of navigation cannot exist without freedom of trade.
4:27Respect both or expect neither.
4:30The head of Iran's parliament, MB Galiboff, writes, Immediately after the power plants and infrastructure
4:36in our country are targeted, the critical infrastructure, energy infrastructure, and oil facilities throughout the
4:44region will be considered legitimate targets and will be destroyed in an irreversible manner.
4:49And the price of oil will remain high for a long time.
4:52And throw down what is in your right hand.
4:55It will swallow up what they have made.
4:58He also writes, alongside military bases, those financial entities that finance the U .S.
5:04military budget are legitimate targets.
5:06U .S. Treasury bonds are soaked in Iranians' blood.
5:09Purchase them and you purchase a strike on your headquarters and assets.
5:13We monitor your portfolios. This is your final notice.
5:17So we have these Marine expeditionary units that are headed right now to the Middle
5:22East, as Israeli officials have been telling their local media.
5:26And I've also told the Washington Post, the Marines heading to Iran are not coming
5:32for decorations. And Israel is supporting this ultimatum to attack the energy infrastructure and for
5:40this ground invasion to take place.
5:42The U .S. State Department then issued a worldwide caution to all Americans in the
5:49region. Groups supportive of Iran may target you if you are in this region.
5:54Exercise caution. All Americans in the Middle East are now potential targets of Iran.
6:02Now, the Arab nations are now saying, we don't support any deal at all, Donald
6:08Trump, unless Iran is thoroughly destroyed.
6:11You can't leave this mess that you created until you fully defang Iran.
6:17You can't declare one of your fake taco Trump always chicken out victories and leave.
6:23We will never invest in the United States ever again if you do that.
6:27Say goodbye to all of your financial interests from the Middle East.
6:33Say goodbye because you leave, you abandon us, we are done.
6:38So they're saying, you better go all in, invade, see this to the end.
6:43We support you taking out Iran.
6:46Anything else, we can't support because look what you've created in the Strait of Hormuz.
6:51You've set our countries back 10, 20, 30 years.
6:55So four senior Gulf officials are saying UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar are pressing
7:02for the war to continue until Iran's military capabilities are decisively weakened, the Times of
7:09Israel is reporting. Ending the war now with Iran still in possession of the tools
7:14it is currently using to target the Gulf countries would be a strategic disaster.
7:19They are pushing Washington to keep striking with others going further.
7:24A second official said Saudi Arabia and the UAE are even weighing whether to join
7:29U .S.-Israeli operations. But I think they want to see American Marines going first, die
7:37first for them before they consider joining this.
7:41The core demand is damage and degradation.
7:45Officials say Iran's missile and drone production must be dismantled, saying that even if Tehran
7:52retains the know -how after the war, generational damage would be sufficient.
7:58Still, the Gulf is not fully aligned.
8:00Oman is calling for de -escalation, drop site reports.
8:04Officials say the UAE is driving the hardest line, and others are less hawkish about
8:09how long the war should continue.
8:12Now, Israel, of course, is saying we fully support these troops.
8:17Go in there, invade, take over the Karg Island.
8:21We've got your back. Now, Mideast Gulf oil producers are urging, as Bakar El -Halabi
8:28explains, are urging the U .S.
8:31to address the disruption to oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz straight on, warning
8:37that interim measures such as tapping into Iran's so -called oil -on -water risk, strengthening
8:43Tehran's position while leaving regional producers exposed, senior Gulf officials say.
8:49And let's be clear, when they say tackle it head -on, they're saying regime change,
8:54take over Karg Island. They don't use those words.
8:57You've created this mess. You've fixed that.
8:59The problem is that means that our brave soldiers, the men and women who are
9:05heading there, are risking their lives.
9:07And from all of the experts out there who have been reporting on what an
9:12invasion and occupation of Karg Island and Iran would look like, it would make the
9:19disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan look like peanuts compared to what would likely take place
9:27and the mass casualties our troops would face.
9:31But I think it's important that you understand that this escalation is now coming from
9:36the fact that Donald Trump, in my opinion, has always been compromised based on his
9:42quid pro quos, emolument clause violations with the Middle East.
9:47Trump is now being pressured by these Middle East.
9:50We did pay for play.
9:51We've given you all of this.
9:53We've done all of this for your family.
9:55Now you're just going to leave us.
9:56You need to send these Marines in.
9:59Look what you've done to this region.
10:01We're going to screw you over and we're going to make sure you suffer if
10:05you don't send Marines. That is one of the big problems when the president puts
10:10his personal interest, in my opinion, above the interest of the country.
10:14Now, the CEO of Saudi Arabia's Aramco, the world's largest oil company, abruptly withdrew from
10:21one of the biggest energy conferences, which was set to take place in Houston today
10:26as the situation gets worse and worse and escalation heightens.
10:30The conference was set for today when Donald Trump's ultimatum expires.
10:37And again, one thing to focus on as well, FITUX and Khan News explain, we've
10:43been talking about this for a long time.
10:45Watch what happens in the Red Sea.
10:47The Houthis are waiting on their activation order from Iran.
10:51They've shown before capabilities of shutting down the Red Sea.
10:55Right now, the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf is being fully controlled by
11:00Iran with an iron fist.
11:02If the Houthis control the Red Sea, forget about it.
11:05Oil, $200 a barrel in no time right there.
11:10Why don't you listen to, if you don't want to listen to me, let's just
11:13say you're a MAGA person watching this and you're watching me for the first time
11:17and you're like, I've heard that you're a lefty, progressive, whatever you want to say.
11:22Okay, well, what about your own guy, Joe Kent, who was one of Donald Trump's
11:27top officials? He was Tulsi Gabbard's number two.
11:30By the way, I think Tulsi either resigns or gets fired this week or next
11:34week. We'll see if my prediction's correct, but I think she'll be gone pretty soon,
11:39whether it's a day, two days, a week, two months.
11:42I think she's gone soon.
11:43Well, Joe Kent was her right hand.
11:44And Joe Kent warning against escalation further, especially plans involving invading the Karg Island.
11:52He argued that sending U .S.
11:54troops there would be a major, major mistake.
11:57It would essentially be giving Iran a bunch of hostages on an island that they
12:02could barrage with drones and missiles and also petrochemicals as well.
12:07Look, folks, Russia and Iran are also being very clear about their alliance with each
12:13other. Just in the past 24 to 48 hours, Russia's President Vladimir Putin congratulated Iran's
12:20President Pazeshkian, calling him a loyal friend and reliable partner in the region.
12:27They're not even hiding it, folks.
12:29They're not even hiding it at all.
12:32Now, look, this is super important.
12:34If you used Medicare .gov to get Medicare Advantage plan information, you may want to
12:39double check your plan. The provider directory had inaccurate information on it, and it's possible
12:45you signed up for a plan that doesn't actually cover your existing doctors.
12:51Listen, folks, it's easy to choose the wrong Medicare plan.
12:54And unfortunately, Medicare mistakes can cost you thousands of dollars.
12:58That's why we partner with Chapter.
13:00When you need to choose a Medicare plan, call them.
13:04They're the only national advisor that compares and recommends every Medicare plan across Medicare Supplement,
13:12Medicare Advantage, and Part D.
13:15And they've helped people save over $1 ,100 on health care costs.
13:21In fact, they've helped hundreds of you in the Midas Touch community save thousands and
13:26get better coverage. These guys won't push you to buy a plan.
13:29You don't want to. And their support is completely free.
13:33So if you're on Medicare or will be soon, call them at 82Medicare.
13:38They'll help you understand enrollment options and find ways to save on your health care.
13:44Again, call them at 82Medicare.
13:47Now, share with you what some French business leader.
13:51And former government officials had to say, Patrick Puyin, CEO of the French oil giant
13:58Total Energies, cautioned against dragging out this war any longer, this Israel -U .S.
14:03war against Iran, saying that we will have some real impacts and all of the
14:08economies of the world will be damaged.
14:11Frankly, we're already seeing that.
14:12Now, as the United Arab Emirates says, this makes our ties with Washington stronger.
14:18We must go all in on Washington, a former French ambassador, Gerard Arrude, says strange.
14:26It means deepening your dependence on a country that has led yours into a disastrous
14:31conflict without caring about your interests.
14:35Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV is calling for de -escalation, saying that this war in the
14:41Middle East is a scandal to humanity.
14:45And we already know that Israel has obliterated Beirut and southern Lebanon and these suburban
14:52areas there. Israel's military generals say the war against Hezbollah is just beginning.
14:59Remember, they've called up 450 ,000 ground reservists.
15:03They changed their law to allow for that.
15:05And whereas they say they're going after Hezbollah, which is a terrorist group, they're killing
15:11hundreds, if not thousands, probably thousands of civilians in southern Beirut.
15:18Doctors and mothers and children and fathers and not Hezbollah.
15:23And although they're targeting some Hezbollah, they just blow up the whole area, basically.
15:27And now they're threatening an invasion there.
15:30And the deaths also continue to pile up in Gaza.
15:33And we cannot forget that there was never a ceasefire in Gaza.
15:37And innocent babies and children and mothers and others continue to be killed in Gaza
15:44by the hundreds and the thousands since the ceasefire was announced.
15:48By the thousands, frankly, since the ceasefire has been announced, which I've always been saying
15:53here on the Midas Touch Network, was never a ceasefire at all.
15:57I want to give us a few more data points that I think are very
16:00important. First, what I want to share with you is this Iranian spokesperson who went
16:06on Channel 4 News, spoke with well -known reporter Kathy Newman.
16:13And Kathy Newman says, hey, you're striking gas fields in Qatar.
16:17These aren't military targets. The Iranian spokesperson says, we're targeting U .S.-linked assets.
16:23Kathy goes, no, you're striking a gas field in Qatar.
16:27The Iranian spokesperson says, don't interrupt me.
16:30Who struck our gas fields first?
16:33We're defending ourselves. Kathy goes, but a gas field isn't a military target.
16:38And the Iranian spokesperson says, then why were ours being targeted?
16:43Meanwhile, the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesperson, Ibrahim Zulf Gharri, mocked Donald Trump
16:53in English and said, you're fired, Donald.
16:56You're fired. Here, play this clip.
16:58Hey, Trump, you are fired.
17:00You are familiar with this sentence.
17:02Thank you for your attention to this matter.
17:04The central headquarter of Qatam al -Anbiya.
17:06Now, this isn't getting a lot of attention, so we, of course, need to be
17:11focusing on it more here on the Midas Touch Network.
17:13Cuba. Remember, Donald Trump has put an embargo around Cuba, although Russia and others are
17:20providing Cuba with some support.
17:23And Donald Trump is threatening an invasion of Cuba, and he says he wants to
17:28take over Cuba. The Cuba government, Al Jazeera reports, says it's now prepared for war.
17:35It's prepared for U .S.
17:37attacks, and they say they are getting their military ready.
17:40Here's Cuba's deputy foreign minister saying that Cuba's military is preparing for the possibility of
17:48military aggression with the United States.
17:51And I think this isn't being talked about enough.
17:53But do you think that when Russia brought over oil and supplies to Cuba, that
18:01they potentially brought over Shahid drones made by Iran?
18:05While Donald Trump is refusing to stand up to Putin, would it shock you?
18:11I don't know whether this is true or not.
18:12I'm just using common sense here.
18:15When these big Russian ships are pulling up to Cuba, do you think maybe Russia's
18:19also dropping off some of its military specialists, some of its elite military units, and
18:27also Shahid drones that are capable of striking the United States?
18:31I don't know. But knowing the history of the region and knowing how Russia plays
18:37these things, that's probably what's going down.
18:40But here, play this clip.
18:41Our military is always prepared, and in fact, it is preparing these days for the
18:47possibility of military aggression. We would be naive if looking at what's happening around the
18:53world, we would not do that.
18:54But we truly hope that it doesn't occur, we don't see why it would have
18:59to occur, and we find no justification whatsoever.
19:02Why would the government of the United States force its country to take military action
19:08against a neighboring country like Cuba?
19:09And then I find this absolutely fascinating.
19:13I'm not sure the right word is fascinating.
19:15You could fill in the right word right here.
19:17You have Benjamin Netanyahu going on Israeli TV and also going on Fox yesterday, basically
19:25saying, Europe, you need to join Europe.
19:27Look at the ballistic missile range that Iran was able to go after the military
19:34base in Diego Garcia. It should be noted that even NATO's Mark Rutt, who's really
19:40demonstrating to be a Trump sycophant, even he and NATO are saying, we can't say
19:46for sure that this ballistic missile actually came from Iran.
19:49That's what NATO is saying, by the way, which I find fascinating that NATO is
19:54saying that. But here Netanyahu is saying, Europe, we need you, and all these other
19:58countries, we need your help.
20:00Okay, well then why didn't you and Donald Trump try to explain to them what
20:05the hell you were going to do before invading Iran and creating this crisis in
20:10the first place without doing it with our allies?
20:12Here's what Netanyahu said. The third thing they did is they fired an intercontinental ballistic
20:18missile 4 ,000 kilometers right into Diego Garcia, the American -British base.
20:22They can reach now with these ballistic missiles everywhere in Europe, almost everywhere in Europe.
20:27I've been warning that for years.
20:29The fourth thing that they did is that they shut down the important maritime strait
20:35of Hormuz, trying to blackmail the world with oil terror blackmail.
20:41Four things that they're doing in 48 hours.
20:44And I asked the leaders of the world, the leaders of the free world, the
20:49leaders of the moderate states, what more are you waiting for?
20:52President Trump has correctly said that Israel, the United States and Israel in this great
20:58partnership, we're fighting the battle not only for ourselves, but for all of you.
21:02And he asked a simple question, where are you?
21:05And it's time to heed President Trump's call, his leadership and his vision, not merely
21:11for our sake, but for your sake.
21:13Now, remember when Donald Trump said, well, whatever, you know, reform, and he's like, we
21:20didn't strike the energy infrastructure, Israel did.
21:23We had nothing to do with it.
21:24Well, here was Netanyahu yesterday saying, whatever we do, we do together.
21:29The U .S. and Israel are always on the same page of all strikes.
21:32So, remember when Donald Trump's like, we didn't know who did the South Par's energy
21:38facility destruction? We didn't do it.
21:40And then Iran retaliated by hitting the northern energy fields of Qatar, basically destroying, what,
21:4920, 30 percent of that facility, which is responsible for 20 percent of LNG, liquefied
21:56natural gas, and massive portions of that were destroyed?
21:59Well, anyway, here's what he says.
22:02Whatever we do, we do together.
22:03Play this clip. Overnight, President Trump said that if in 48 hours the Iranians don't
22:08open the Strait of Hormuz, that there will be strikes against the power grids in
22:12Iran. Will you participate in those strikes?
22:15And what do you think should happen next in this campaign?
22:18I think President Trump knows exactly what he's doing.
22:21And whatever we do, we do together.
22:24And as far as possible, in confidence.
22:28As the prime minister was leaving, I asked him about President Trump, and he talked
22:32about the great relationship that these two leaders have amid Operation Epic Fury.
22:36The operation has now entered week four, and we do anticipate heavier strikes against the
22:41Iranian regime in the hours and days ahead.
22:44Guys. Now, finally, you have Netanyahu saying, look what Iran has done.
22:51Look what they've done. They're targeting our civilians here.
22:55Look how they've destroyed. This shows you how not legitimate they are.
23:00Now, let's be very clear.
23:01Of course, we should condemn, in the strongest terms, Iran targeting civilian infrastructure and shooting
23:10rockets and shahids at civilians.
23:12Absolutely. At the same time, Israel has killed 75 ,000 or more, mostly innocent people,
23:22mostly all innocent people in Gaza, in one of the biggest and most despicable massacres
23:28in the history of humankind.
23:31So we also need to condemn that in the strongest terms as well.
23:35Not a – it is – when I watch this, I go, seriously?
23:40What about Gaza? Anyway, here, play this clip of Netanyahu.
23:44Let's play it. If you want proof that Iran endangers the entire world, the last
23:4848 hours have given it.
23:49In the last 48 hours, Iran targeted a civilian area.
23:55They're doing that as a mass murder weapon.
23:58Luckily, no one was killed, but that's due to luck.
24:02Not their intention. Their intention is to murder civilians.
24:05Second, they are using – they fired on Jerusalem right next to the holy sites
24:12of the three monotheistic faiths.
24:13The Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Al -Aqsa Mosque.
24:17And by dint of a miracle again, none of them were hurt.
24:20But they were targeting the holy sites of the three major monotheistic religions.
24:25Third, they fired an intercontinental ballistic missile on Diego Garcia.
24:31That's 4 ,000 kilometers. I've been warning all the time.
24:34They have now the capacity to reach deep into Europe.
24:37They already have fired an European country, Cyprus.
24:42They are putting everyone in their sights.
24:44And fourth, they're stopping a maritime international route, energy route, and trying to blackmail the
24:51entire world. What more proof do you need that this regime that threatens the entire
24:56world has to be stopped?
24:59Israel and the United States are working together for the entire world.
25:02Well, there you have it, folks.
