2:50Donald Trump is panicking as Iran is publicly mocking him for saying he's putting on
2:58a blockade over the entire Persian Gulf.
3:02Iran says, look, we want to reach a resolution so long as you negotiate within
3:09the 10 -point framework that you previously agreed to.
3:13But now that you're just escalating and talking about imposing a blockade, it's the reason
3:19why you can't do a deal with Donald Trump and his regime.
3:22It's the reason why negotiations failed in Islamabad.
3:26And now you're saying you're going to impose a blockade.
3:30You do realize that by doing that, you would only be further closing the Strait
3:35of Hormuz. So your plan to open the Strait of Hormuz is now to put
3:40a blockade on everyone internationally from doing any business, basically, in the Strait of Hormuz.
3:47I know the CENTCOM statement said, well, the blockade only applies to ships going into
3:54an Iranian port. Well, it's much more murky than that if you actually understand the
3:59flow of oil, because when you look at the Persian Gulf, oftentimes Iranian oil moves
4:05to other areas and areas that are considered to depart from Iranian ports end up
4:12stopping by in nearby countries so that it doesn't just stop in an Iranian port.
4:16But OK, Trump regime and CENTCOM, you're doing a blockade at 10 a .m.
4:21today. That's what you're saying.
4:23We'll see how long that actually lasts, because with everything, you've tended to back down
4:28right away. I mean, the Iranian social media accounts are posting things like this in
4:33response to U .S. CENTCOM's threats about imposing a blockade today.
4:38They write, you know, you can't execute a blockade by posting on X, right?
4:45Like you have to actually bring your ships closer.
4:49That's what the United States has become right now.
4:52And it's so hard to kind of wrap our heads around how utterly weak.
4:57I know Trump's weak and pathetic, but you've got Iran mocking CENTCOM.
5:01Iran is mocking CENTCOM and saying, you know, if you want to do a blockade
5:05CENTCOM, you got to move your ships closer.
5:08I mean, you remember two days ago during those...
5:11bailed negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan, where CENTCOM posted that two Navy destroyers went through the
5:20Strait of Hormuz and engaged in a successful mine -sweeping operation.
5:25And then it turned out it was utterly false.
5:27And yesterday, video emerged of Iranian naval vessels approaching the U .S.
5:34naval destroyers saying, turn around or we will destroy you.
5:38And the U .S. naval destroyers complied and turned around and then CENTCOM lied and
5:44claimed it was a successful mission.
5:47That is how weak and pathetic Donald Trump is, that that is what he's turned
5:51our proud and strong Navy into.
5:54In the hands of a weak and pathetic human being like Donald Trump, even the
5:58strongest Navy, the strongest Army, the strongest military is reduced to becoming a Trumpian bankrupted
6:07casino. It is a sad sight to see.
6:10Iran right now is saying, okay, though, you do that blockade, you know what we
6:15do next? We will shut down the Bab al -Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea.
6:22Not only can we control the Strait of Hormuz, but our proxies, the Houthis in
6:26Yemen, they're right there by the Red Sea and we will shut down the other
6:31strait. And all oil flows will be completely shut down.
6:35So have fun with your $200 per barrel of oil there, Donald Trump.
6:41Ali Akbar Valiati, a former Iranian foreign minister and veteran diplomat known for his influence
6:49within the establishment, warned on Sunday that unified command of the resistance front views the
6:56Bab al -Mandeb Strait as it does Hormuz.
7:00By the way, the resistant front, that means the Houthis over there.
7:04Quote, if the White House dares to repeat its foolish mistakes, it will soon realize
7:10that the flow of global energy and trade can be disrupted with a single move,
7:16Valiati wrote. And it was reported by Iranian state -owned press.
7:21Then you had Moshin Razi, a former Islamic Revolutionary Guard commander and senior Iranian official,
7:29posted the following. America, just as it suffered a historic defeat against Iran and failing
7:36to open the Strait of Hormuz, is also doomed to failure in its maritime blockade.
7:42Iran's armed forces will not grant America such permission and possesses major untapped levers for
7:51countering it. Iran is not a place to be blockaded with tweets and fanciful schemes.
7:58Again, mocking the Trump regime as being a paper tiger social media account as opposed
8:06to a viable international power.
8:09Again, humiliating for the United States that that's what we've been reduced to.
8:15Even the New York Post is reporting.
8:17I mean, that's a Murdoch paper.
8:19Majority of Iran's fast attack ships remain patrolling the Strait of Hormuz and are still
8:26intact. Yes, a majority of Iran's naval fast ships patrolling the Strait of Hormuz are
8:32intact. And as Patricia Marins writes, and she's been very good on these issues, she
8:38writes, repeating what I said a few days ago, Iran still has at least 30
8:43patrol ships equipped with missiles and torpedoes, plus hundreds of other fast boats also equipped
8:48with missiles and some classes with torpedoes.
8:51Hundreds more boats have rocket launchers, many of which have already received guidance kits.
8:56It is said that Iran can operate up to 4 ,000 fast boats.
8:59I estimate at least 1 ,500 of which 300 to 350 are armed with missiles.
9:05Recapping, the already devastated Iranian Navy still operates around 30 patrol ships, 300 to 350
9:11missile boats, and about 18 to 22 submariners and mini -submariners.
9:16And that doesn't even factor in the unmanned vessels, those underwater drones that have been
9:23used before by the Iranians.
9:26And we saw in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, these unmanned vessels have been used
9:31a lot as well. By the way, that doesn't even include what we're talking about,
9:36the ballistic missiles and the missile launchers and the FPV drones and the Shahi drones,
9:41which Iran has thousands, if not tens of thousands, and less than half of that
9:46inventory has been destroyed. Iran's president, Pazeshkian, posted the following message.
9:52If the American government abandon its totalitarianism and respects the right of the Iranian nation,
9:59ways to reach an agreement will certainly be found.
10:01I commend the members of the negotiating team, especially my dear brother, Mr.
10:06Dr. Galabaf. And may say, God gives you strength.
10:11That's Galabaf, the parliament leader.
10:14Iran's other social media accounts are posting things like this.
10:18Naval blockade of Iran, Bob El -Mondab coming soon.
10:22Again, referring to shutting down the Strait of Bob El -Mondab, the way they now
10:27control the Strait of Hormuz, but using the Houthis, who they consider part of their
10:31resistance front, to do that.
10:33Foreign minister of Iran, Aragchi, posted the following message.
10:38In intensive talks at the highest level in 47 years, Iran engaged with the U
10:43.S. in good faith to end war.
10:45But when just inches away from the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, MOU, we encountered maximalism,
10:54shifting goalposts, and blockade. Zero lessons earned or zero lessons learned.
11:00Goodwill begets goodwill. Enmity begets enmity.
11:05And also NPR is reporting that cracks are forming inside the United States military driven
11:12by low morale, ethical unease, and a growing number of service members choosing to retire
11:19early, declining to re -enlist, or walking away from their contracts regardless of the consequences.
11:25The GI rights hotline has seen call volume more than double since the Iran war
11:31began. The majority of callers are asking about conscientious objecting.
11:37I mean, just look at what some of the United States planes look like.
11:42Take a look right here at one of those big strato tankers and those big,
11:48you know, those big airplanes of the U .S.
11:50Air Force right there. You got the strato tankers, the C -130s, you know, they
11:54all have these like bullet holes in them right now.
11:57The KC -135s, after recent losses and damages to its aerial refueling fleet during operations
12:04linked to the Iran conflict, the U .S.
12:07Air Force has reactivated a retired KC -135 tanker aircraft, which includes a 68 -year
12:14-old strato tanker built in 1958, now undergoing maintenance for possible return to service.
12:21We did see a lot of U .S.
12:23Air Force transport activity heading to the Middle East last night.
12:27I think that's worth noting as well.
12:29And M .B. Galaba, Iran's parliament leader, posted the following message.
12:34Enjoy the current pump figures with the so -called blockade.
12:39Soon you'll be nostalgic for $4 to $5 gas.
12:44And he posts a formula which talks about the compounding increase in oil prices with
12:50the Strait of Hormuz under their control and a Trump regime blockade.
12:57A few other things I want to point out as well.
13:00Iranian member of parliament who attended the Islamabad talks in Pakistan said America was not
13:08even really seeking an agreement.
13:11Mohammed Nabavian, deputy chairman of Iran's parliamentary security commission and a member of the Iranian
13:16delegation in Islamabad, said the U .S.
13:20entered the talks without genuine intent to reach a deal.
13:23In a now -deleted post on X, he said that Washington made three demands that
13:28Iran rejected. A shared stake, the joint venture Donald Trump wants to control, the Strait
13:34of Hormuz, the removal of enriched uranium from Iran, and the suspension of Iran's right
13:39to enrich uranium for 20 years.
13:43So what's going on now?
13:44Well, Donald Trump says that he's considering his next steps against Iran in addition to
13:50the blockade. Wall Street Journal reports that the options include limited military strikes.
13:56A full -scale bombing campaign is on the table, but unlikely since it could destabilize
14:01the region and lead to a prolonged conflict again.
14:05The U .S. may also try this temporary blockade scheme and see if that works.
14:09Meanwhile, Israel is waiting for the command and they said that they're ready to attack
14:14Iran on a given notice from Donald Trump.
14:17A former foreign minister of Iran is also saying Javid Zarif says that Trump is
14:24clutching at straws. The worst gamblers don't know when to leave a losing table.
14:31This was a former foreign minister of Iran.
14:34Javad Zarif says clutching at straws, blockading Hormuz, which is not blocked to help a
14:42global economy. Another art of the deal, masterstroke.
14:46The worst gamblers don't know when to leave the table.
14:50That leads me to last night, Donald Trump ranting and raving like a lunatic at
14:56Joint Base Andrews after coming back from Florida where he was golfing on the taxpayer
15:03dime. A reporter asked Donald Trump, are there other countries who are willing to help
15:08with this blockade? The answer is no.
15:11But Donald Trump says, yes, they're all coming up.
15:14They're all coming to me.
15:15We're doing this routine again.
15:16Play this clip. A reporter then says, how long are we waiting for Iran to
15:32come back to the negotiating table?
15:34Because you said they're going to come back.
15:36And Trump's like, I don't care if they come back.
15:38Play this clip. The other night, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
15:45Oh, I don't know. I don't care if they come back or not.
15:48If they don't come back, I'm fine.
15:50Their military is gone. Their missiles are largely depleted.
15:55The manufacturing capability for missiles and drones is largely defeated.
16:01We've been very nice. We haven't ripped down too many bridges.
16:04We did one only because they broke they're worth it, bro.
16:07with their promise. And remember, their promise was that they were going to open the
16:13Hormuz Strait. They didn't do it.
16:16They lied. Then Donald Trump says, but I can tell you, they're very desperate.
16:22Play this clip. I think Iran is in very bad shape.
16:32I think they're very desperate.
16:34We had a meeting that lasted 21 hours.
16:37We understand the situation better than anybody.
16:40And Iran's in very bad shape.
16:42And just so you understand, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
16:48We'll not have. There is no way that they're going to get it.
16:52They still want it. And they made that clear the other night.
16:56Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.
16:58And here's what he says about the blockade.
17:01Let's play it. The droppers are gone.
17:03We have a lot of people.
17:04As you know, at 10 o 'clock tomorrow, we have a blockade going into effect.
17:08That'll be 10 o 'clock tomorrow.
17:10Other nations are working so that Iran will not be able to sell oil.
17:15And that would be very effective.
17:18But what we want to do is we want to.
17:21And again, we don't need it.
17:22What we notice and what we see and what I think is maybe my idea,
17:27maybe not. I don't know.
17:29But there are many boats heading toward our country to fill up with oil and
17:33then go and take it.
17:35So they're not going to go through the hormone strain.
17:39And ultimately, that'll be corrected.
17:41But in the meantime, they're using us.
17:43We have more oil because of drill, baby drill.
17:47We have more oil than Russia and Saudi Arabia put together.
17:51So if you look at Russia and Saudi Arabia, two big ones, we have much
17:56more oil than they have put together.
17:59And what's happening is boats are coming over here, filling up.
18:03We don't have to go through the hormones.
18:05Certainly, Donald Trump did not want to take any questions about Victor Orban, Donald Trump
18:11and Putin's puppet in Hungary, losing the election big to Peter Magyar, the opposition leader,
18:23destroyed Victor Orban in the election.
18:27And the opposition party, the pro -democracy, pro -European party went on to win.
18:34Great victory there for the new prime minister.
18:38And here's what Donald Trump says as he went away.
18:40Play this clip. And then last night, I'll do a whole other video on this,
18:51but Donald Trump kept on attacking the Pope and saying that the Pope is bad
18:56on crime and that the Pope is bad.
19:00Yeah. The Pope is bad on crime and bad on foreign policy.
19:03He ranted and raved and said, you know, the Pope likes crime.
19:08And Donald Trump was asked, well, why, why are you attacking the Pope?
19:12Why are you attacking Pope Leo the 14th?
19:16Here's what Donald Trump said.
19:17Let's play it. And they're going to go back, build up with oil.
19:22I don't think he's doing a very good job.
19:28He likes crime, I guess.
19:30He hit us. Think of it.
19:33He's worried about fear. What about the fear when the ministers and the priests and
19:40the, all of those great people that were arrested during COVID.
19:45And in many cases, they're outside 10 feet apart and they were arrested.
19:49So we don't like it.
19:51We don't like a Pope that's going to say that it's okay to have a
19:55nuclear weapon. We don't want a Pope that says crime is okay in our cities.
20:00I don't like it. I'm not a big fan of Pope Leo.
20:02He's a very liberal person and he's a man that doesn't believe in stopping crime.
20:08And he's a man that doesn't think that we should be toying with a country
20:14that wants a nuclear weapon so they can blow up the world.
20:18I'm not, I'm not a fan of Pope Leo.
