Donald Trump is panicking as Iran refuses to accept Donald Trump's surrender Donald Trump desperately wants a cease fire, so he had Steve Witkoff reach out repeatedly to Iranian leadership, as reported by the Guardian, and say, please, can we have a cease fire. Not only is Iran saying no to the ceasefire, Iranian leadership continues to threaten to vanish Donald Trump they say your paper threats do not scare us. They threaten to eliminate Donald Trump. Repeated death threats they continue to make against Donald Trump. The Guardian reports Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders in Iran since it is not losing the war and that Donald Trump is at a minimum feeling political pressure at home. The article is called Iran is becoming more defiant in the face of US Israeli onslaught and we see Iran continuing to strike at Israel, continuing to strike at American bases in the region. We learned earlier yesterday that Iran was putting all of these mines in these Strait of Hormuz. When you look at the Strait of Hormos, essentially zero traffic is moving through the Strait of Her Mos. Still, despite Donald Trump and his regime lying that there were navy convoys that were helping move these cargo ships, which was false. And then Donald Trump's regime blamed statements that the navy was helping the cargo ships pass through the Strait of Hermos on staffers and interns and said oh it was just a staff or an intern who made these posts which just completely imploded the oil markets yesterday. And you take a look at what went down. Also you had major drone strikes on US Diplomatic facilities in Iraq which were suspected retaliation by pro Tehran militias. This was taking place in Iraq. Six drones were launched toward the compound, five of which were shot down, but one hit the U.S. facility, said security officials. The strike hit the Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center, a sprawling logistical hub for American diplomats near the Baghdad airport. Also we saw strikes and her strikes in Erbil in Iraq, Israeli media outlet and 12 said a defense source believes that toppling the Iranian regime is looking less and less realistic by the day and the instead the goal should be weakening or crippling infrastructure. But that regime change is now impossible. Really? Because isn't that what the Trump regime said we were going to be doing? Isn't that what the Netanyahu regime said that were going to take place? Take a look right here at the outbound transits right now within these Strait of Remotes. As this one commentator says, you will likely need a microscope because there ain't no ships that are leaving the Strait of Hermos. But the Trump regime lied about it and there was a report from the Energy Department that oil tankers were getting Navy escorts, which was not happening. So Deleted Tweet from Energy Secretary sent the oil markets on another wild ride yesterday. A now erased post from Chris Wright. The Energy secretary whipsawed crude for the second straight session and a message that was posted by Trump's Secretary of Energy vanished within minutes, leaving investors the world over struggling to see through the fog of war emanating from the Trump regime itself. And the Energy Department is blaming staffers for inaccurate social media posts. A spokesperson said that a video Clip posted by Energy Secretary Chris Wright was deleted from his official X account after it was determined it was incorrectly captioned and by department staff. The post, which claimed that the US Navy had helped an oil tanker through the Strait of Her Mose, was quickly taken down. Spokesperson Ben Dietrich said the Secretary and other officials are closely monitoring the situation in the Strait of key access point for oil and natural gas shipments in the Middle East. The military is considering additional options to keep it open, including potential for our navy to escort tanks. Diedrich says the prospect of military escorts could help reduce price pressure created by the war. Except it ain't happening. It's too dangerous. Ain't no traffic moving through it and this just blew up the markets. I mean, here's how one person describes it in case you missed it, because you probably did. Somebody placed a massive short on oil right before Energy Secretary Chris Wright posted a tweet claiming US Naval forces has had escorted an oil tanker through the Hermu strait. Oil dropped $5 a barrel over the next few minutes. The short covered. Eight minutes later it was revealed that right story was a complete fabrication and he deleted all mention of it from the Internet. Oil prices shot back up $5 a barrel. The mystery short seller made $100 million in eight minutes right there. And the U.S. navy tells the shipping industry, you on your own. They're saying that her MO's escorts not possible for now. The US Navy refusing near daily requests from the shipping industry for help can do it. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, like other senators, attended a briefing by the Department of Defense today about the war in Iran. Here's what Chris Murphy said. I was in a two hour briefing today on the Iran war. All of the briefings are closed because Trump can't defend this war in public. So pause there. One of the tactics being used by the Trump regime is to falsely label things as classified so that he cannot tell the American public about it. Things that shouldn't be classified. So he holds these public, he holds these public deranged pressers where he's not actually saying what's happening and he's lying. But then he holds these classified briefings on information that normally would be revealed to the American people. For example, Yesterday we learned 150 soldiers were wounded. 150 were wounded that was being covered up. Uh, Senator Murphy goes on to say, look, I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. Here's what I can share. Maybe the lead is that the war goals do not involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This surprising since Trump says over and over again this is the key goal. But then of course, we already know airstrikes can't wipe out their nuclear material. Second, they confirmed regime change is also not on the list. So they are not. So they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hard line regime, probably more anti American, hardline regime than the one before, will still be in charge. Okay, so what are the goals? It seems primarily destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories. But the question that stumped them, what happens when you stop bombing? Do they just restart production? They hinted at more bombing, which is, of course, an endless war. Oh, and on the Strait of Hormoz, they had no plan. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the strait, but suffice it to say right now they don't know how to get it safely back open, which is unforgivable because this part of this at the disaster was 100% foreseeable. So what are they doing on state regime media right now, which calls itself Fox, people like Laura Ingraham are now attacking the Iranian people for not doing an uprising. Laura Ingraham's like, where's the uprising? Where's the uprising? Here, play this clip. Well, that was the night that we launched Operation Epic Fury. But now that the United States is close to reaching its objectives there, where are the Iranian uprisings? Now let me show you what's going on on Saudi media. And again, I just want to give you perspectives of internationally what's taking place on Saudi Arabia media. You have guests like this. He says the following. The insolence of Karah and religious fanaticism and the bungling of the American administration. A military decision without political planning. If Trump declared victory through destroying the regime's capabilities and killing the leadership, the fundamental problems remain unsolved. I said before the Hormuz fog news that Tehran is promoting a long war of attrition. And despite the public discontent inside Iran, the external bombing has bolstered national sentiment, led to the regime's cohesion instead of its collapse. Contrary to the Trump expectations. The irony is that a war whose goal was regime change might end with a weaker but more ferocious regime and a region living in a more dangerous balance than ever before. And so, you know, lots of people who don't understand this region are saying, why is Saudi Arabia media and other Arab nation media pissed at the United States? Well, you know, they're pissed at Israel, but pissed at the United States and not Iran when Iran is launching the weapons at the Arab nations. Because what the Arab nations are saying is Trump regime. You never consulted us before you went to war. You had the Oman foreign minister broker a mediated resolution with Iran as the matter settled. And people believed we were just moving on to technical conversation. That's when the United States invaded Iran because they were told that Netanyahu was going to invade first. So the US Invaded. No allies were given warning. Everyone was thrown under the bus in the region. All these Arab nations that were basically bribing Donald Trump. This quid pro quo money to Trump companies thinking he would protect them and help them. Like, you just screwed us all over royally. We warned you that Iran would retaliate against us if you did this. Iran's plan was this war of attrition and to harm the economic interests. That was their goal the whole time. And you fell right into the trap. And now Trump regime. You've made the Ayatollah the new one, Mount Jabba stronger. The Islamic Republic now has a stronger grip on the people of Iran. There were protests in January, Donald. You told people, go out and protest against the Ayatollah and you would have their back. You didn't have their back. Tens of thousands of Iranian protesters were killed. You now are calling all of the Iranian people nasty humans. You said that in a press conference. You said they're nasty humans and they are menacing people, all Iranians. Not just referring to the Islamic Republic, you're referring to all of the people in Iran. So you've actually driven support by also bombing hospitals, bombing elementary schools, killing 150 little girls, blowing up desalination facilities. You've turned the populace more against the U.S. you've built national, national endeavor against the U.S. the Ayatollah is consolidating control. You've made the situation worse. And Iran, I mean, they have a lot of weapons. They still have all these shahed drones. They're easy and cheap for them to make. They're being supported by Russia. Russia has essentially, you know, and Russia. Look at what's happening in Russia and the Baltic states. Let's be very clear there. Russia's supporting Iran. Donald Trump is cozying up to Russia. The United States has never been weaker. Our allies have never been weaker right now as a result of what Donald Trump's doing. And look, Iran continues to turn. This is Tel Aviv yesterday. Look at what was going on in Tel Aviv yesterday. A lot of these missiles were going through as observers who were there were saying pandemonium. Sirens begin mid boom. Advance warnings left hanging for long minutes. Strikes from Lebanon and Iran, rolling sirens that move sector to sector attacks all over the country. No one knows or says anything but incessant babbling and empty boasts. Tel Aviv is getting hit pretty hard right now. And one of the developments that Iran has developed are these cluster munitions so that when these missiles go over Tel Aviv, they spread out and it's harder for the Patriot and THAAD systems to hit them. Here's a state regime media host on Fox describing what went down. Play this clip to the break.
