Donald Trump is panicking as the top leadership in Iran has not been decimated. And they are out there saying, now that you killed our Ayatollah, Donald. We are coming for you, and we are capitulating. We are not surrendering, and we are going to strike back with additional force. And don't think you will ever not be in our sight, Donald. So throughout the day yesterday, Donald Trump was like, we've decimated Iran. Iran has surrendered. Or Donald Trump would say, they need to totally surrender. But he also said, they have surrendered. And then he was asked, well, what do you mean by that? He goes, they need to cry uncle. If they cry uncle, then they will fully surrender. Like, what in the world are you talking about? So the President of Iran put out a statement that basically said, look, if you are a nation in the Middle east and you stop allowing the US to use your air bases, we will stop attacking you with the Shahi drones and ballistic missiles. It is not our intention or our desire to strike around the Middle East. And then they also apologize to nations which they were specifically seem to be talking about Turkey and Azerbaijan and saying, you know, we apologize for striking you, but if you strike us or if you allow the US to use your bases, we're gonna come after you, basically. And then the President of Iran also said, and let's be clear, we reject even the thought of a surrender to the United States. To which Donald Trump's like, aha, they've surrendered. Okay. So in response to that, the Foreign Minister of Iran, who's been very vocal, is also the individual who attended the mediation with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. We also talked for a second that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are the ones who are somehow involved in these high level mediations that are resulting in these devastating wars that are destroying so much of the United States of America. But I digress. The Foreign Minister of Iran put out the following statement. Foreign Minister Arachi. He says President Possession, who's the President of Iran, expressed openness to de escalation within our region provided that our neighbors airspace, territory and waters are not used to attack the Iranian people gesture to our neighbors was almost immediately killed by President Trump. Here is my statement. So this is the statement that was issued from the Foreign Minister of Iran. President Possesskian's openness to de escalation. Again, President of Iran's openness to deescalate within our region, provided that our neighbors airspace, territory and waters are not used to attack the Iranian people was almost immediately killed by President Trump's misinterpretation of our capabilities, determination and intent. If Mr. Trump seeks escalation, it is precisely what our powerful armed forces have long been prepared for and what he will get responsibility for. Any intensification of Iran's exercise of self defense will lie squarely with the US administration. Mr. Trump's week long misadventure has already cost the US military $100 billion in addition to the lives of young soldiers. When markets reopen, that cost will balloon and directly be transferred to ordinary Americans at pumping stations. Mr. Trump's own National Intelligence Council, representing input from the 18 intelligence agencies of the US determined that war in Iran is destined to fail. I also warned Mr. Trump's envoys that war will not improve the bargaining position. Were these warnings conveyed, The American people voted to end involvement in costly quagmires in the Middle East. Instead, they ended up with an administration that Netanyahu, after decades of failed attempts, finally managed to dupe into fighting Israel's wars. This is a war of choice pursued by a small cabal of Israel firsters. And Israel first always means America last. Now, I'm reading that to you just so you see what they're putting out in Iran, because you're probably not hearing that from American media. Is that Iranian propaganda? Is that Iranian spin on things? Absolutely. View it for what it is, but also view it for the fact that these people are not surrendering. They are not saying, oh, Donald, we're scared. You are making us very nervous. Right. You have the Trump regime full of liars, the Netanyahu regime full of liars, and then you have the Iranian regime also full of liars, liars, brutal regimes responsible for lots of death and destruction, and they always kind of put out these Lies. So it's hard to find the truth. But America, once upon the time was a nation, flawed as it was, that led the international community through difficult issues. At this point, the United States has not just ceded the moral high ground. The United States has completely, to use a word from the Trump regime, the decimated it. I'm gonna show you in a moment also what the national security leader, Ali Larajani just said in a interview. But first, one more post I want to share with you from Iranian Foreign Minister. He says the US Committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on the Kesham island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted. Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences. The US Set this precedent, not Iran. So what went down yesterday after Iran was speaking to other Middle east nations saying, all right, let's de escalate as it relates to you. If you stop allowing the United States to use your countries to attack Iran, then the Trump regime ratcheted up their invasion of Iran and started targeting oil facilities and key and critical infrastructure within Iran that the people depend on in order for them to live. For example, the United States and Israel began striking major Tehran oil refineries that supplied More than two 50% of Iran's energy in major a major escalation. And you look at some of these videos from the oil depots that were blown up by the US And Israel yesterday. It is straight out of Armageddon. It is straight out of the most dystopian of nightmarish visions of what a hellish future a hellscape could look like. But here it is right now. I mean, look at Tehran's Chaoran oil depot, completely consumed by massive blazes. And then the, it almost created like a, like a river path because the oil was, you know, spilling out and then across the streets. You know, they were engulfed in flames. Right now, I mean, you see the spill of oil meeting the sewage system, creating a burning, flowing river in Iran as a result of what the United States has done after Iran tried to at least de escalate with some of its immediate neighbors in the Middle east, not with the United States, but with some of its neighbors in the Middle East. And all this is doing, and I think this is an important point to also put aside the United States propaganda for a moment. What this is doing is it is further radicalizing, or you can choose the term further entrenching people in Iran to support the Islamic Republic, even people who are inclined to protest against the Ayatollah before or protest the Islamic Republic or really push for a different system there, they had an 85 year old ayatollah. Right now the people in the Islamic Republicans are kind of rallying behind the country for all different reasons against Trump and Netanyahu. Trump has actually created some unprecedented unity in Iran right now. So this idea that he is causing the Iranian people to somehow be, you know, wanting to overthrow the Islamic group, quite the opposite. I mean, when the Trump regime blew up the school in MANAB and killed 150 children, and they did, it happened. It is almost an undisputed fact at this point, based on all of the satellite imagery, frankly, what our intelligence community's even briefing Congress on that. That elementary school in Manab was hit by the United States. When they hit the desalination depots and factories, when they go after the energy infrastructure and the grid, they are hardening the resolve of Iranian people against the United States. It's counterproductive as well. So now the threats against Donald Trump's life as well. The Iranian national security leader, this guy Lara Johnny, who I've been covering before, Ali Larajani, he goes, we're not gonna let Donald Trump off the hook. We won't let it go until we retaliate in kind. He killed our Ayatollah. He killed our leader. We won't rest until we retaliate in kind. Kind is the words that Lara Johnny used. Here's his post. We won't let Trump off the hook. He must pay the price. He's martyred our leader and our people. Over a thousand civilians in Iran, maybe more, have already been killed by the Trump regime. This isn't a simple matter. We won't let it go until we retaliate in kind. So let me show you what Lara Johnny just said in an interview. We translated this using AIs, but it's an accurate translation. I want you to hear what Lara Johnny said here. Lara Johnny talks about retaliating against Trump and you'll see the Iranians are not like, oh, we're going to surrender. Watch what Lara Johnny says here. Play this clip.

Mr. Trump. Trump got a little taste of Venezuela and he thought he could just do it immediately. Now he's stuck. We're not letting him go. He has to pay the price for this. He killed our leader. He martyred him. We will not let him go unpunished. He has martyred our people. More than a thousand of our people have been martyred. This is not as simple as it seems.

Now, more from Larajani Right here. Let's play it.

Initially, the Americans intended through this action to bring about the martyrdom of Iran's leadership and several of our commanders so that the situation inside Iran would be completely disrupted. Therefore, the first stage was the complete disruption of the administrative and, in fact, the governmental structure. Americans thought this would be done very quickly. Their strategy was to end the war fiercely, but in a short time. But they didn't think Iranians wouldn't let them go. Now they are desperate. Their assumption was they'd strike and seize it, like Venezuela, and it would be done. But they got stuck. They thought that by first delivering such a heavy blow to Iran, they could completely destroy the people's morale and consequently destabilize the country's governmental structure. But this did not happen.
- [15:49]
B
And then finally, here's what Lara Johnny says as well. Let's play this, this third clip of Lara Johnny right here. Let's play it.
- [15:56]
C
Yes, we have suffered significant economic blows and their bombardments have been very heavy. But they did not achieve their goals and we will not let them off the hook. The Americans must understand that we will not abandon them. You have inflicted a deep wound upon our hearts, and we will not let you go. You must accept that you no longer have the right to invade Iran. Admit that you acted audaciously, which international law dictates that a nation, simply due to temptation, as they themselves have stated, is permitted to launch an attack on another country. Temptation led you to attack. We will make you fully understand what we will do to you. We will show you what kind of feeling temptation truly brings. In my opinion, our nation stands firm. Our officials are united on this issue. There is absolutely no disagreement within the country right now in the fight against America and Israel. There is no division whatsoever, and we will not allow them to escape from this dangerous predicament.

Now, Iran's Katam Al Anbiya Air Defense headquarter spokesperson says we welcome the United States escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Her Mose, adding that Iranian forces are waiting for the Americans. Entry may be on the surface, but the end will be at the bottom of the Persian Sea. The spokesman said this warning comes as now Trump is floating the idea of doing US Naval escorts for oil tankers that are basically trapped and can't get out of the Strait of Hermos at this point, based on the war that the US Unleashed against Iran without any planning, without thinking that that was a possibility, 20% of the crude of the oil that's out there comes through the Strait of Hormuz and it's all but shut down. And now the United States, like, we'll get insurance for the boats, but then, like, the United States doesn't even have the money to provide the appropriate insurance for the boats. And the boat's like, we aren't leaving. Even if you were to give us insurance. We're not gonna die to go through the Strait of Hormuz. Sorry there. So the Trump portion's like, let's give you naval escorts. And now the Iranian leadership is saying, okay, we'll be waiting for you. You do that. We'll be waiting for you. And throughout this time, again, you have the United States, you saw Lara, Johnny, you know, saying, here's all the things he's gonna do to Trump. Iran is being bombed again. You know, you look at just some of these massive explosions, these mushrooms, clouds rising as US And Israel continues to bombard Iran with missile strike after missile strike. You know about the elementary school incident. I've also told you about the incident that took place off of Sri Lanka. The Dena, as it's called, this boat that was participating in a parade in India. They were Iran's naval ship, the Dena, and their crew were guests in India. And part of the stipulation is that the Dena had to show up without being armed. And so the navy ship were Iran showed up, and everybody knew that the ship was there, and they knew they were unarmed because that's one of the preconditions. And then as soon as the boat left Sri Lanka, the United States used a torpedo and blew it up as well, killing most of the crew. And then US did not render aid or assistance to the naval crew that was drowning. The Sri Lankan navy came and saved about 30 people from the boat, but that was just about it. Again, Iran continues to retaliate. You see the Islamic Revolutionary Guard striking a skyscraper near Dubai. You see them striking a Social Security security building in Kuwait City. You see it right there. And by the way, I mean, as I mentioned before, you know, you have Kuwait shutting down its oil production at this point. You have Qatar shutting down its oil production at this point. And then His Highness, the Emir of Qatar had a meeting with Donald Trump yesterday because they're flipping out in Qatar, because, you know, Qatar, its main city, Doha, they have to advertise to the world that they're a safe place for investment, they're a good place for tourism. They've done everything they can to try to present Doha as a place of modernization and safety. Right? Same thing in the United Arab Emirates. In Abu Dhabi and in Dubai, same thing. Now that these areas are being so frequently struck and hit by Iran, the veneer of safety is absolutely shattered. So Donald Trump really screwed over all of these individuals who sought to bribe him, right? All the quid pro quo deals, all the money they threw at Donald Trump personally. And just like his investors in the casinos and his note holders and the people who did business with him his entire life, Trump screwed you over. He screwed. Screwed you over. Bankrupted his thing, bankrupting you. That's what Donald Trump does. And so, yeah, the Amir of State of Qatar said the escalation currently being witnessed in the region will have serious repercussions on international security and peace. And the crisis must be contained while intensifying diplomatic efforts. I mean, you know, you want to take a look at what's going on in the Iraqi parliament right now? They're doing Death to America chants inside the Iraqi parliament. And this is what's going on throughout the Middle east at this point. The United States has now set off all of these sectarian issues that were being held, that were under control, but being held together by just a tiny thread. The Trump regime just destroyed. And now you have Shiite, Sunni, Kurdish, you know, all these different groups right now at each other's throats again in the Middle East. Here's what was going on in the Iraqi parliament. Let me show you what was going down here. Play this clip. As I mentioned, two fuel depots at the Kuwaiti International airport port came under drone attack, causing massive fires in them. You had the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation announcing that in light of ongoing aggression by Iran against Kuwait that ships through the Strait of Hormuz, that KPC has implemented big precautionary reductions. Kuwait, OPEC's fifth biggest producer, says it has reduced oil and refinery output as it's unable to export due to the closure of the Strait of Hermos at this point also, you know, so one of the things that the Trump regime did in their panic, but also in their desire to help Vladimir Putin is they removed their sanctions against Putin, allowing Putin to dump Russian oil into the markets. Specifically, India buying Russian oil and the price of oil so expensive right now that this is a massive, massive win for Russia. They're gonna take that money that Russia's getting in order to buy weapons to further attack Ukraine at a time when the United States is asking Ukraine and Zelensky for help in shooting down the Shahi drones and ballistic missiles. But here's the thing. Donald Trump allowing Russia to dump its oil and helping enrich Putin. The price of crude is still going up significantly. Trump taking off Russian oil sanctions was supposed to bring down oil prices. Donald Trump thought to balance out the negative of Putin's war machine, gaining an immediate tens of billions. But just look at it. The price of gas rose immediately and with all of this taking place, you have the top US Officials going on tv. But just watch this going on state regime media the other day and now saying US is going to seize all the oil from Iran. That's what we're going to do. We're seizing Iranian oil here. Play this club. This is a long term game because what we want to do is get such massive oil reserves in Iran out of the hands of terrorists. And so, and so what we're going to experience here in the short term is highly outweighed of the long term benefit because ultimately we're not going to have to worry about these issues in the Strait of Hormuz because we're going to get all of the oil out of the hands of terrorists. There you have it folks. Let me know what you think. A lot going on. A lot going on there. Hit subscribe. Let's go. Let's get to 7 million. Thanks for watching. Thanks for watching.
