all hell is breaking loose as Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's war against Iran is now backfiring. Iran is now retaliating against the United States and Israel's preemptive strikes, and it's bigger than expected now. Iran has officially acknowledged the death of Ayatollah Khomeini, and they have stated that they will be exacting a vengeance on anybody who was responsible for the preemptive attack bigger than they ever have before. Specifically, a statement that comes from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is as follows. We will make sure we engage in the most massive and powerful offensive operation in the history of the Islamic Republic, which will begin shortly against Israel and US Bases in the Middle East. In addition, Iran's Parliament speaker, Mohammed Bagheer Kalabeff on Sunday called the leaders of the United States and Israel, quote, filthy criminals who will face devastating blows for their ongoing attacks on the Islamic Republic. Quote, you have crossed our red line and must pay the price. We will deliver such devastating blows that you yourselves will be driven to beg. Now that follows a social media post that Donald Trump made where he said, now that we've engaged in these preemptive strikes against Iran. Hopefully the Iran Revolution Guard will join with others and they will take control of Iran and they will support Donald Trump and Netanyahu. And the response to that seems to be no, that's not happening. And this is what Donald Trump's top generals and admirals and CIA and top intelligence specialists were warning Donald Trump about. Donald Trump posted late last night, Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before. Then Donald Trump in all caps writes they better not do that, however, because if they do, we will hit them with a force that has never been seen before. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J. Trump, I want to show you what is going on right now in Iran as there have been massive protests all day. Now let's be clear. There have been some protests out there and some people taking to the street who of course have been thankful and grateful that the Ayatollah has been killed. Authoritarian, repressive regime. So we've seen some of that. But a lot of the images that we're seeing now are these massive, massive rallies that are part of this 40 days of mourning where in Iran there, you know, like in these city centers and squares, it looks like there are hundreds of thousands of people who are chanting death to America, Death to America and they are demanding vengeance. That's what's happening in Iran. I'm just giving you the facts folks about what's actually happening, trying to cut through the propaganda and just give you the facts. So in Isfahan right now, here are just look how many people are in this city square demanding vengeance. Here. Play this clip right here. I will show you some other angles as well. Here you'll see pro government rallies where people are chanting Death to America outside. Let's play this one. Here is another view. Let's play this clip right here. Here is another pro government rally at the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad, Iran protesting the US Israeli strikes. The Associated Press reported and filmed matching crowds chanting Death to America at other state backed events in Tehran as well. Let's play this clip of what was going on there so you can see it for yourself. Now I want to go through what's going on throughout the Middle east as Iran stated it would be retaliating against US Bases and US Presence in other neighboring countries. Whether that's the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, whether it's Qatar in Doha, whether it is Bahrain, whether it is Saudi Arabia, whether it is Iraq, wherever There is a US President in Kuwait, in Kuwait City in Jordan. Iran has been striking and of course Iran has been striking in Israel. I mean, we've seen some massive strikes take place in Tel Aviv as well. I want you to watch here. An Iranian missile hit Dubai International Airport in the morning. You can see the smoke seen rising near the north end of the airfield right there. We'll show you some photos of it. Next. I'll show you the US Air base at Erbil International Airport in Iraq burning in the morning after an Iranian drone and missile attack. You can see the clouds of thick black smoke rise from an impact site at Erbal International Airport port in northern Iraq. Hat tip to the open source intelligence technical and defenders, they do a good job aggregating this stuff. Take a look right here. There appears to be a direct hit this morning in Doha, Qatar. You can see these smoke clouds billowing there. Iranian strikes on hotel complexes in Manama, Bahrain. Bahrain has been getting hit over and over and over again. We've seen residential complexes that are known to be frequented and lived in by American soldiers being hit there. Large plumes of smoke are seen in Bahrain right there. And then let's zoom in on what's going on in Baghdad this morning as pro Iran regime protesters attempted to breach the Green Zone there, trying to get into the US Embassy in Baghdad. We'll show you what that looked like here. Let's just show it. Show a little bit of that in Baghdad so, so they can see. Let's play that CL. And next we'll bring you to Pakistan where protesters broke through the security barricades and entered the US Consulate in Karachi, largest city there. The video footage you will see here shows with one demonstrator holding, you know, a brigade flag. I mean, just look at that. The protest appear to be part of this anti US demonstration wave in the region. But this is at the US Consulate in Karachi here. Take a look right there. Going back to Dubai for a moment. You'll see here the palms were struck. The Burj Al Arab Hotel was struck as well. You can see those images right there. Also, some of the early reports coming in out of Iran suggest that Ayatollah Khamenei's son Madtaba is going to be named as the next supreme leader. There was this succession plan that was already being discussed. So Moj Taba will be the is believed. We'll see what happens to be the next Ayatollah. It's being described that this will symbolize his father as a martyr who died waging a holy war against the west in the name of Imam Ali IBN Abi Talib. And Mujtaba is just as extreme, if not more extreme than his father. And he was known for propping up people like Ahmadinejad as the president. And he's also known for the crack, the brutal protest crackdowns that just took place where as many as 30,000 protesters may have been massacred. So to the extent anybody thought that this was going to be some Kumbaya moment and that the Islamic Republic was just going to collapse and they were just going to take it and roll over and surrender, opposite seems to be taking place as we are looking at what's going on in the region. The latest YouGov poll. Do you approve of the way Donald Trump is handling Iran? This was taken on February 28th. 50% of Americans disapprove. Only 35% of Americans approve of the way that Donald Trump is handling everything that's going on in Iran. But according to Lindsey Graham. Right, Warmonger, chicken hawk Lindsey Graham, he says, look, if American soldiers are going to die in Iran, it's going to be great, he says, because you will die a noble death for all the soldiers, for all the parents of soldiers. If you're worried that your kids or if you're worried you're going to die in the Middle east right now, according to maga, it's great because it's going to be noble. Your children will be martyrs is basically what Lindsey Graham is saying for the MAGA regime change plan here.
