Donald Trump has walked himself right into a fatal trap. Things are spiraling out of control in connection with his disastrous and unlawful war in Iran. The footage that you just saw there at the beginning of this video is the moment that an Iranian medium range ballistic missile struck the city Dimona in southern Israel. Dimona was hit by that medium range ballistic missile. So was another southern Israel city known as Irad. Dimona is heavily fortified and that's where Israel's Nuclear facilities are based. And the fact that Iran was able to strike that facility is of very significant import indeed. And that followed the fact that the United States and Israel earlier in the day had struck Iran's nuclear facility, the Natanz nuclear facility, which was supposedly obliterated last June. So in response to the US And Israel striking Natanz, you then had Iran striking that facility that I just mentioned before. Now, Donald Trump posted the following message as well. As things continue to escalate, this is a ridiculous message. Donald Trump writes, writes, if Iran doesn't fully open without threat the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J. Trump. So Trump delivering an ultimatum that the United States and Israel will destroy all of your energy facilities. We are going for apparently what he seemed to say there is your civilian infrastructure as well. So what happens? Escalation, of course. And Iran continues to try to show escalation dominance. Donald Trump makes a threat. Iran responds. Trump and Israel strike the energy facilities in Iran. Iran responds by striking the facilities in Qatar and Haifa and Saudi Arabia. So the spokesperson for Iran's armed forces says that if Donald Trump and Israel attacks their energy infrastructure, there will be immediate attacks on the energy infrastructures of all of the Arab nations that are allied with the United States. Information technology infrastructure, desalination infrastructure, which would basically cause the Arab nations to run out of water in the surrounding areas very quickly. So Trump makes those threats and Iran responds essentially immediately. But one of the things, as Donald Trump continues to show weakness, Iran feels like as long as it keeps punching Donald Trump in the face, it gets rewarded. I mean, just think about this. When Donald Trump and the United States just removed all of the sanctions on Iranian oil, that allowed Iran to get $14 billion as a reward. So think about it. When former President Obama made the nuclear deal with Iran over a decade ago, which Trump and MAGA excoriated Obama for, but which created oversight with the International Atomic Energy Agency, was able to kind of conduct these daily or at least regular inspections and to make sure that Iran could not enrich the uranium, Donald Trump pulled out of that deal during his first term. But at the maximum, the kind of payments that were made to Iran, which were kind of viewed as kind of reparation style payments, whatever you want to say, Max, $1.4 billion. And that's what MAGA and Trump remember, they'd Always be like, cash, you know, plan full of cash and this and that. And they would always exaggerate it and they would always kind of misrepresent what it was. But in the past 24 hours alone, the US has allowed Iran to get $14 billion in oil revenue. It's the first time the US will now be buying Iranian oil since 1996. And it's all happening, as Barack Ravid says, in the middle of a war against Iran. Now in the head of Iran's parliament, MB Gallop is just mocking the United States. He posted this meme that says, sorry, we're sold out. Lifting sanctions on Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. Sorry, we're sold out. Mocking Treasury Secretary Scott Besant making this concession to Iran because Iran has shut down the Strait of Or moves. And Iran's like, thank you. This is the greatest offer we've ever received and we haven't even asked for anything. You're just giving it to us because the price of barrel of oil is surging. And by the way, on Donald Trump's threat that he's going to obliterate the energy infrastructure of Iran, and Iran's response saying, okay, you do that, we'll knock out the desalination plants and energy infrastructure of all of the Arab nations. That's only further causing oil to surge. Bitcoin is crashing, by the way. Gold, which is usually viewed as a safe haven, crashing as well. The leader of the parliament in Iran also posted the following. If the Israeli regime fails to intercept the missiles in the highly protected Dimona area, remember that's what I shared with you at the beginning of this video. It is operationally a sign of entering a new phase of the battle. Israel's skies are defenseless. As a result, it seems the time has come to implement the next pre designed plans. One of the strategies it seems that Iran is employing right now is they are not. Yes, they're going after Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and other areas, but now they go after the smaller towns that may have less of the Thaad and Patriot systems which have been spread thin. And Iran had been able to target some of those Thaad and Patriot systems and the satellites that are able to detect the ballistic missiles and the Shahi drones. So Iran is finding an ability to more successfully strike in Israel. So about 150 to 200 injuries in these southern Israeli cities, Arad and Dimona. I'll just show you some of the other footage right here. You could see some of it right here. We'll just throw the B roll up Here of other scenes of when these ballistic missiles hit in Dimona, when Irad hit as well. Here's more footage showing the destruction caused by the Iranian medium range ballistic missile strikes in the residential city neighborhood of Iran. Of Iran. And by the way, throughout the day, Donald Trump making just weird social media posts as well. Like this one right here in the early days of Mar a Lago. And it's Donald Trump. I think he's sitting on like a Rolls Royce. Yeah, well, you had daddy's money, Donald, as the American people are suffering right now, I would say living paycheck to paycheck, but there's a jobs recession. A lot of Americans can't even get a job right now. Americans now can't afford gas. They already couldn't afford anything else. Americans are suffering and starving. It's never been worse. Right now, inflation surging out of control. Markets are crashing. Donald Trump is posting photos of himself on Rolls Royces in the early days of Mar A Lago. And we showed you yesterday, he was posting photos of golden sneakers that he's selling. And he goes, look, when they bought my sneakers in Riyadh for $180,000, they ain't buying those sneakers anymore. Donald, I think that all these Arab nations thought that they were doing pay for play schemes with you and that you would play, meaning protect them. And you ain't doing that. All you're doing is writing all caps, social media posts, ranting and raving like a lunatic and posting these deranged photos of yourself from what, like the late 1980s or 1990s when you were best friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Also, Donald Trump made a post attacking David Sanger of the New York Times for an article published earlier yesterday questioning what objectives are there even in this war. Like what the hell is even happening? Here's what Donald Trump writes. The United States has blown Iran off the map. And yet there lightweight analyst at the New York Times, David Sanger, says that I haven't met my own goals. Yes, I have. And weeks ahead of schedule. Their leadership is gone. Their Navy and Air Force are dead. They have absolutely no defense and they want to make a deal. I don't. We are weeks ahead of schedule. Just like they're incompetent election coverage of me. The failure, the failing New York Times always gets it wrong. Okay, well, we see Iran. I showed you the videos. We see Iran actually shooting ballistic missiles and Shahid drones with more effectiveness than earlier in the war as well. They control the Strait of Hormuz right now. In fact, they're so confident and cocky with their control of the Strait of Hormuz, they're now making bilateral deals like with India. They're making these one off deals saying if you pay us $2 million, we'll give you naval escorts. Remember how Donald Trump was like, america and our allies are gonna do navy escorts through the Strait of Hormuz? Well, the US Isn't, Iran is. Iran did a naval escort of an India frigate, India cargo ship, maybe fuel ship as well, through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is apparently working on a deal with Japan. Right after the Japanese Prime Minister Takeishi came to the it seemed that she got humiliated here. By the way, the people in Japan, the people in the Diet there, the people in general are like, what the hell was that appearance? And it seems that though what came out of that is Japan buying some Russian oil, maybe Iranian oil, and trying to cut a deal with Iran for their ships to get through these Strait of Hormuz. And so I'm not really sure what you think you've accomplished, Donald. As Scott Lincecum writes, after more than two weeks of consistent bombings, new US Intelligence suggests that Iran's regime is actually consolidating its power, unlikely to collapse, and now led by a cadre that's more extreme than before. And so Donald Trump, one of the reports from Axios, although the Trump regime leaks a bunch of fake stuff to Axios all the time, but one of the things that they report reported was that the Trump regime doesn't even know who to even negotiate with anymore and who can be a mediator to the extent there's an ability to have a resolution with Iran. But if you look at what the foreign minister of Iran Iraqi is saying, he's like, we don't want to do a deal. Witkoff and Trump's regime have tried to reach out to Iran numerous times. Iran says, we don't want to speak to you unless there's a deal where we get reparations, unless there is a deal where we have security guarantees that the US And Israel won't do this again, we have no interest in ever reaching a resolution. Iran feels emboldened by what's taking place. They shut down the Strait of Hormuz, they create a toll, they're making more money, they're having bilateral negotiations with countries. They've gotten more out of this in terms of having sanctions removed than they previously did in their Obama deal where they were forced to get rid of their enriched uranium. So they're looking at this like, that's great. And at a low estimate, the US has spent $28 billion in this disastrous war. Already. Gulf countries are losing more than $2.3 billion per day as a result of the disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. It's absolutely crushing them. And soon we're going to be turning our attention to the Red Sea. We all realize that. How long have you heard me talking about here, the Red Sea, the Houthis in Yemen. Right. I've kept on repeating that. Why? Because it's unusual that the Houthis have done nothing really, so far. But if you listen to what the Houthis in Yemen are saying, they're saying we're just waiting on the order from Iran to basically shut down the Red Sea from ship transport. Right. The way the Strait of Hormuz is shut down and the Persian Gulf is effectively shut down in the Red Sea is now being used as an alternative lane. And Iran and the Houthis are using that as part of their escalation, domination, dominance, to say, okay, well, you engage in anything further, we'll just shut down the Red Sea, and we can easily get the price of gas to go over $200 per barrel. So pay attention to what's happening in the Red Sea and pay attention to Donald Trump's threats that in 48 hours he's going to blow up all the energy infrastructure, which, by the way, is a war crime. It is a war. Saying that you're going to blow up the energy infrastructure of a place because that impacts civilians, that is inherently a war crime. So just even if America was trying to win the propaganda war, right, you're announcing war crimes in advance. Like you literally are sounding so utterly deranged. And how do you think this will help you win over the hearts and minds of the people in Iran eventually? It's the opposite, right? It's absolutely the opposite. It's the Cato Institute that explained after more than two weeks of constant bombing, Iran is more consolidated with their power in the regime, the Islamic Republic, than ever before. And when Trump threatens the war crimes, of course they're going to consolidate their power. Just share with you some of Donald Trump's other despicable behavior this morning as well, or yesterday morning as well, when Robert Mueller, former FBI director, died. Donald Trump's post. What? This was yesterday. Donald Trump posted, robert Mueller just died. Good. I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people. As our editor in chief, Ron Philip Koski, writes. As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later Returned to lead his platoon after his recovery, he received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, two Navy Marine Commendation Medals, Republic of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals. Right? When Donald Trump and his regime are out there saying things like I'm not afraid to do another Vietnam, right? That was a quote from Donald Trump last week. Donald Trump dodged the draft five times. He faked that he had bone spurs. Donald Trump has called our military suckers and losers. Right? Donald Trump has attacked NATO's contributions and the people and the troops that NATO sent that have died fighting alongside the United States and Afghanistan, they're really not on the front line. And now Donald Trump says, good, when Robert Mueller dies, if you didn't like the guy, just don't say anything at all. And Robert Mueller's investigation of your ties to Russia, we're seeing it play out right now. I mean, you're a Putin bootlicker, in my opinion. I mean, you remove the oil sanctions against Russia. Everything you're doing is helping Russia. You're sending your entire regime over to try to help Putin's puppet in Hungary, Orban get elected. You Morubio's there. You're sending every they're CPAC hungry right now. Your conduct. Russia is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this war while Russia's working with Iran to target and kill Americans right now. Let me leave with the following, okay, because there's two very serious crises taking place in the United States as well in addition to obviously affordability crisis and lots of other issues are happening. But Hawaii is facing its worst flooding in 20 years. 5,500 evacuations, a 120-year-old dam at risks homes and roads destroyed. In Nebraska, there are historic wildfires that have burned over 800,000 acres, killed one and are threatening ranches. Trump has not said a word about other but about either of these. But he did start posting photos of him in front of Mar a Lago on top of Rolls Royces while the while America is at a war that he provoked that he created. This is what Iran's police chief said yesterday. If you are not capable of preserving Greenland, submit a request and we will come. The Trump regime looks weak. They're getting mocked by Iran. And I'll just leave you with this right here. This is the moment a drone was shot down in Bushira Iran on Iranian sources claim it was another MQ9 Reaper drone, which now by my count, we probably have lost about 15 of these reaper drones. Iran still has its air defense system that it's utilizing on a day to day basis. More lies from Trump, more despicable conduct from Trump. More horrible behavior.
