Trump Panics as Iran Talk Completely Fail!!!!
4/12/202617 mincomplete
0:00The Trump regime's negotiating ploy in Islamabad, Pakistan with Iran was a complete disaster.
0:06The Trump regime showed up and they tried to change the 10 -point negotiating framework
0:11that they previously agreed to with Iran.
0:14Iran said, no, we're sticking with the framework you previously agreed to.
0:18And then the Trump regime basically said, if you don't agree to our demands, we're
0:23going to kill all of your negotiators.
0:25And how do they do that?
0:26During the mediation in Islamabad, they planted a story in the Washington Post, which basically
0:33suggested killing the negotiators. Also, Donald Trump made a social media post saying the only
0:39reason we're keeping these negotiators alive is so that they can negotiate and give up.
0:45And the Iranian negotiators, who were the top leaders within Iran, said, well, your threats
0:50don't intimidate us. We showed what we can do during this war and we could
0:54strangle the global economy if we want to, and especially the United States economy, and
0:59we'll help our allies and destroy the United States and their allies or former allies.
1:04So Iran then stood up and said, agree to the negotiating framework or else there's
1:08not going to be a resolution.
1:10Stop with your excessive demands in trying to defraud this entire mediation process.
1:16And then there was a stalemate that was reached.
1:19It cannot be brokered in terms of any deal.
1:22And so it ended, you see J .D.
1:24Vance leaving Islamabad. You see him going up the stairs of the airplane and going
1:29on Air Force Two and leaving.
1:32And then Donald Trump started posting additional threats saying that he was going to now
1:37start a blockade of the Persian Gulf generally, and that the ultimate Trump card is
1:44using the USS Gerald Ford to run a blockade of Iran.
1:49And I guess the thinking is you will use the United States military to, what,
1:54attack the allies of Iran that are being given permission to utilize these Strait of
2:01Hormuz. So think about the plan here.
2:03This is the plan to what Donald caused World War III.
2:07So you have your blockade that you claim now you're going to institute after these
2:12negotiations failed because you refused to stick with the 10 -point negotiating framework you previously
2:18agreed to. So what happens when an Indian flag tanker shows up to the Strait
2:22of Hormuz and you have your blockade?
2:24You're going to interdict it.
2:25You're going to blow up the Indian tanker.
2:27What happens when the Russian tanker goes by?
2:29I forget the Russian tanker.
2:30What happens when the Chinese tanker goes by and starts to be able to utilize
2:36these Strait of Hormuz because they're allied with Iran?
2:39Also, there were reports now that China's involvement in helping Iran build up its military
2:45arsenal is even bigger than previously expected and was previously expected to be pretty big.
2:51Think about it from the perspective of China.
2:53China through Iran right now basically is the most influential player in the Middle East.
2:59It used to be the United States, but now Iran can basically say, well, we're
3:03going to only use currency like crypto and the yuan, China's currency, in order to
3:08devalue the United States dollar.
3:12You know all those petrodollars?
3:13Well, we're going to screw that up too right now because we have a stranglehold
3:17over the Strait of Hormuz and now Iran will be negotiating bilaterally with all nations
3:22throughout the world and moving them further away from the United States as China now
3:27gets the biggest footprint and foothold in the Middle East.
3:30Great work, Donald. You have just destroyed America's post -World War II kind of power
3:36structure that existed. And you've also made us just weaker at home and abroad and
3:43crashed and basically are crashing our economy.
3:46So you have in Pakistan, you have these disastrous negotiations that are taking place because
3:52Trump changes the framework. After they fail, Donald Trump threatens this blockade.
3:57I mean, here's the post just so you can see it for yourself.
4:00The Trump card, the president holds, if Iran won't bend, a naval blockade, what, over
4:05the entire Persian Gulf, you're going to blow up every ship that goes to the
4:09Strait of Hormuz that gets access?
4:11What if France did this?
4:13What if France does a bilateral negotiation, Donald, with Iran and they have sent one
4:18of their tankers in? You're going to blow that up?
4:21What if other countries do?
4:23I mean, are you going to think this thing through?
4:25So, you know, just to remind you, basically the 10 -point framework, Donald Trump previously
4:30agreed to a framework that we've been talking about a lot that says Iran controls
4:34the Strait of Hormuz and they can charge a $2 million fee per tanker that
4:38goes through the Strait of Hormuz, that the United States will give Iran full reparations,
4:43that the United States will leave its military bases in the Middle East.
4:47It will provide permanent security guarantees for Iran, the Houthis, Hezbollah, the Iranian Shiite militia
4:55groups in Iraq, that Iran can keep its ballistic missile, Shahi drones, and FPV drones,
5:01that Iran will be permitted to enrich uranium.
5:07The Trump regime agreed to all of that and then they showed up.
5:11at the Islamabad in Pakistan negotiating a room in the U .S.
5:17like, yeah, we're not going to agree to any of that.
5:19Sorry. Yeah. Donald Trump may have said that, but you need to agree to our
5:23demands or we're going to kill you and we're going to blockade you.
5:26And Iran's like, good luck.
5:28See you later then. And so the question right now is, is, you know, where
5:33are we? I mean, you know, Iran says there's not going to be any further
5:37talks. They have no desire to go back and have these future futile negotiations where
5:44the U .S. now has these maximalist demands.
5:48And you may say, well, Ben, what's maximalist about the U .S.
5:51demands? The only aspect that makes it maximalist is when you agree to one thing
5:55publicly and then you change the terms on that, you lose credibility.
6:00And when you do that over and over and over again and just make up
6:04fake things that aren't real, you have zero credibility in an international affairs as well
6:09as domestic affairs, as well as life in general.
6:12The ultimate form of capitalist trust is good faith and fair dealing.
6:17And Donald Trump, his entire life has been a fraud.
6:20He's been a criminal. He's a sexual predator.
6:23He's because he's been found civilly liable and he's made disgusting statements.
6:26He's part of the Epstein class and the lead, basically, in my opinion, a leader
6:30of the Epstein class. He's bankrupted things over and over again.
6:33And he's doing it to the United States right now.
6:35I mean, there was also this incident yesterday.
6:37You want to talk about the height of bad faith combined with fraud and deranged
6:42behavior? So during the negotiations, the U .S.
6:46and Iran, they're in Pakistan, they're in Islamabad, right?
6:48They're having these negotiations. Then it's reported that the United States is sending two destroyers
6:55into the Strait of Hormuz to sweep mines during the negotiations when they're supposed to
7:01be a ceasefire. And they're supposed to be, you know, nothing like that happening during
7:05the negotiations. So Iran sends a naval vessel, identifies these destroyers and says, turn around,
7:12turn around. Also, the Iranian negotiating team brings it up to Prime Minister Sharif, who's
7:18the main negotiator, the middle man, if you will, from Pakistan, who then tells the
7:22U .S., yeah, you've got to turn your destroyers around.
7:25You're not engaging in like furtive war acts right now.
7:29I mean, if there's a deal, we can deal with them removing the mines in
7:34the Strait of Hormuz. But right now we're in a negotiation.
7:36So the U .S. removes its destroyers and never really gets into the Strait of
7:41Hormuz. But then the Trump regime and CENTCOM pretend it happened.
7:45They're like, we successfully sent two destroyers that went east and west and they fixed
7:50all of the mines and they did a mine sweeping operation.
7:54It's like that didn't happen.
7:56Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal, others, you know, reporting, yeah, that that didn't happen.
8:00What happened was the destroyers showed up.
8:02They were confronted by Iranian ships.
8:05The naval, the U .S.
8:06destroyers turn around and they head back.
8:09First off, how embarrassing is that, number one?
8:11Number two, then the Trump regime lies about it.
8:14Number three, that happens during the height of a negotiation right there.
8:19So let me just remind you what J .D.
8:21Vance said before he left these negotiations.
8:25You know, he kind of storms out and he's like, we just couldn't get to
8:29a situation where Iranians were willing to accept our terms.
8:34So when you show up with the mindset that Iran is not accepting our terms,
8:39when the idea of this whole mediation is that you and Trump begged for this
8:45thing to happen and begged Pakistan to broker it because the American markets were crashing
8:50with Iran's control of the straighter for moves and how disastrous this war was, has
8:56become, this unlawful war was and was escalating and getting worse.
9:00And then you go in and say, well, why aren't you agreeing to our terms?
9:04You agreed to their negotiating framework and then you tried to change it up on
9:08them. That's like the height of bad faith.
9:10Here's what J .D. Vance says, play this clip.
9:13Was there a framework on anything and also did the Iranian frozen assets come up
9:17and did you reach any conclusions on those frozen assets?
9:20We talked about all those issues, Jen, and we talked about a number of issues
9:24beyond that. And so certainly those things came up.
9:26But again, we just could not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing
9:32to accept our terms. I think that we were quite flexible.
9:36We were quite accommodating. The president told us, you need to come here in good
9:39faith. And make your best effort to get a deal.
9:42We did that. And unfortunately, we weren't able to make make a headway.
9:47Preston. And then J .D.
9:49Vance says, the thing that we need to see with Iran is affirmative commitments by
9:54them that they will stop enriching uranium.
9:57Well, first off, Donald Trump agreed that they can enrich uranium in the 10 point
10:02framework. That was very clearly in the framework.
10:04But from everything that I hear, from all my sources and from all the people
10:08who were around both sides of the negotiations, the enriching uranium part was actually the
10:15part that had a workable solution.
10:18Because previously, Iran said that it was agreeable to not enriching uranium to make weapons
10:24-grade uranium. The main sticking points from all of what I hear are two main
10:29sticking points, right? Number one was the Strait of Hormuz.
10:32Iran is controlling it. When J .D.
10:35Vance was like, well, Donald Trump wants a joint venture with you.
10:38We're not doing a joint venture.
10:39venture. We're not doing what, a JV LLC with Donald Trump?
10:43Get the hell out of here.
10:44We're controlling the Strait of Hormuz.
10:46That's an important sticking point.
10:47And the other thing is you got to get Netanyahu to stop blowing up Lebanon
10:51and Beirut and killing all the people in Lebanon and Beirut.
10:54You promised security guarantees in Lebanon and all these areas, and you continue to engage
11:01in a massacre in Lebanon.
11:03I mean, earlier this week or last week, when there were over 250 people who
11:06were killed in one bombing run by Israel.
11:10I mean, innocent children, mothers, fathers, civilians, hospitals, schools being blown up in Beirut and
11:17in other areas of Lebanon.
11:19Those were the two main areas.
11:20But J .D. Vance, I mean, you saw the clip I showed, right?
11:23I played it. Marshall Muneer, who were both incredible hosts and whatever shortcomings of the
11:29negotiation, it wasn't because of the Pakistanis who did an amazing job and really tried
11:33to help us and the Iranians bridge the gap and get to a deal.
11:38We've been at it now for 21 hours, and we've had a number of substantive
11:45discussions with the Iranians. That's the good news.
11:47The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement.
11:50And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for
11:53the United States of America.
11:54So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement.
11:58We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate
12:02them on, and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on.
12:05And we've made that as clear as we possibly could.
12:08And they have chosen not to accept our terms.
12:12Was, you know, J .D.
12:14Vance's sticking point was, oh, it's all about the uranium.
12:17It's all about this. That was an issue that was actually a workable issue.
12:21But that's how the Trump regime tried to, like, in a sociopathic way, you know,
12:26distract from what the real, you know, what the real issues, I think, were.
12:30Hormuz and Lebanon were the two main issues.
12:33So here's how Iran's state media, Tasneem, a correspondent, talked about what went down at
12:40these negotiations. The Iranian team, with the attendance of its top leaders, Ghalibbaf, Aragji, Bagheri,
12:47alongside other committees, succeeded in preventing the United States from achieving its demands by defending
12:54the fundamental rights of the Iranian people in various political and military fields and in
12:58the field of peaceful nuclear technology during approximately 21 hours of intensive negotiations and consultations
13:05in Islamabad, Pakistan. The Americans aim to achieve concessions they could not extract during the
13:10war, including the issue of the Strait of Hormuz and the removal of nuclear materials
13:14from the country during the negotiation sessions.
13:16But the Iranian delegation rejected that.
13:19The Iranian team tried, through various initiatives, to push the American side toward reaching a
13:23joint framework. But American intransigence prevented this due to their irrationality and lack of realism.
13:30Also, the foreign ministry spokesperson, Bakay, says, we have not forgotten and will not forget
13:36the experience of America's breach of promises and malicious acts.
13:40Diplomacy for us is the continuation of the sacred jihad of the defenders of the
13:45Iranian land. He goes on to say, just as we will not forgive the heinous
13:50crimes committed by them and the Zionist regime during the course of the second and
13:54third imposed wars. Today was a busy and long day for the delegation of the
13:58Islamic Republic of Iran and Islamabad.
14:00The intensive negotiations that began from the morning of Saturday with Pakistan's benevolent efforts and
14:05mediation have continued without interruption until now.
14:08And numerous messages and texts have been exchanged between the two sides.
14:12The Iranian negotiators are employing all their capabilities, experience, and knowledge to safeguard Iran's rights
14:18and interests. The heavy loss of our great elders, dear ones, and fellow countrymen has
14:23made our resolve to pursue the Iranian nation's interests and rights firmer than ever before.
14:29Nothing can or should deter us from pursuing our great historical mission toward our beloved
14:34homeland and noble Iranian civilization.
14:37The Islamic Republic of Iran is determined to utilize all tools, including diplomacy, to secure
14:43national interests and to protect the country's well -being.
14:48And then it talks about how the success of the diplomatic process depends on the
14:53seriousness and good faith of the opposing side, refraining from excessive demands, unlawful requests, and
14:59the acceptance of Iran's legitimate rights and interests.
15:03Meanwhile, you had Professor Morandi, who was with the Iranian delegation.
15:09His takeaway was obviously the Trump regime wasn't seriously negotiating at all.
15:16Iran also put out the following message through their Navy spokesperson.
15:21Any attempt by military vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz will face a
15:26firm response. The IRGC Navy has full authority and maintains intelligent control over the Strait
15:33of Hormuz. Finally, you have Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu posting the following message.
15:39Under my leadership, Israel will continue to fight against Iran's terrorist regime and its proxies,
15:44in contrast to Erdogan, the leader of Turkey, who aids them and even slaughters his
15:50Kurdish citizens. Also, Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel also says that they're not agreeable to
15:57any ceasefire with Lebanon or Hezbollah in Lebanon and that the war continues.
16:02We will be also covering, of course, this morning and throughout the day.
16:07the big election in Hungary.
