A sudden escalation in Donald Trump's catastrophic war against Iran. You just saw there were U.S. troops that almost got hit by a ballistic missile. This video is now surfacing. It was taken in the past few days. Some believe that may be in Bahrain. But if we at what's happened last night and into the early morning hours in Bahrain, in Kuwait, in the United Arab Emirates and elsewhere. We're seeing a rapid escalation in this war. Now Donald Trump is panicking. He's been choreographing that. He's basically ready to leave Iran. He's ready to surrender. He sees the US Economy tanking. Donald Trump's like, I'll just leave the Strait of Hormuz Under Iranian control, others can deal with it. That's what he was saying at a press conference in the Oval Office yesterday. Deal with it. Let the UK Deal with it. Why do we have to do anything about it in the United States? But guess what? In a war, there are two sides. They have a say. And Iran is saying, we're going to control the Strait of Hormuz with an iron fist. And you know how we said that if you started escalating and attacking Iran further, we would hit American companies that are located in Arab nations and that we would escalate as well? Well, that's what we're doing. We're escalating as well. So here's what happened just over the past 12 hours or large fires at the Kuwait airport after Iranian attack hit fuel tanks there. And Iran's been able to attack that airport and the surrounding area with impunity. Unknown projectiles were hitting tankers off the coast of Qatar. This is one of the more recent events where we see Qatar being hit yet again. There was a brief moment where Qatar was seemed to maybe did they cut a temporary deal or do a temporary ceasefire to get Iran to stop Iran retaliating against them? Also, you could take a look right here at this fairly large fire that was burning all throughout the morning in Bahrain. Locals in Bahrain were saying that it was the loudest night into the morning of the bombing. The ballistic missile strikes and Shahid drone and FPV drone swarms by Iran since the war began, since Donald Trump's unlawful invasion of Iran began. Lots of people are saying that that facility was a Battelco headquarters where Amazon's Web services and other interests are based. This would be the country's largest telecommunications company and infrastructure. And that's exactly what Iran threatened, that it was going to strike. And it seems that it did. Meanwhile, you have heavy airstrikes reported in Iran's capital, Tehran, throughout the morning, very heavy US And Israel strikes there. In Beirut, in southern Lebanon, you had Israel blowing up an entire building complex. And as I've said before, in addition to going after Hezbollah, I mean, Israel has leveled, leveled southern Lebanon, I mean, brought it to the ground, killing tons of civilians in hospitals, medical providers and people in the surrounding areas. Take a look right here. This footage was filmed in southern Beirut and it shows the moment that a building in the Zaid Rabbani Av was targeted by an Israeli strike. Purportedly, the IDF had issued a notice that they would be targeting this building earlier. And you can watch what happens here. Let's just play a Short snippet of it. Okay, so while you have the Middle east on fire as a result of Donald Trump's catastrophic war as Donald Trump is trying to escape after weakening the United States irreparably, I've done lots of videos on this. I'll do one in 90 minutes. How France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, other countries are not letting the US Use their airspace or any of the military bases at all because again, it's an unlawful and catastrophic war in those countries were never consulted, nor was NATO consulted before Donald Trump and Netanyahu went alone and started bombing Iran and led to Iran now controlling the Strait of Hormuz. Also yesterday, I'll do another video on this. Today you had Marco Rubio, Donald Trump making social media posts and also saying in public statements and public addresses in the Oval Office and Marco Rubio on state regime media, which calls itself Fox, that they're basically done with NATO, that NATO refused to step up when the US Needed. And after this war is over, why should the US Even be a part of NATO? So essentially NATO is done right now. I mean, it was before, I guess it was NATO in name only before. But now the NATO alliance seems to just be completely obliterated. By the way, we're talking about decimated, obliterated, decapitated. It's NATO. And by the way, Putin could not be happier. Xi Jinping cannot be happier. Donald Trump removing oil sanctions, as you know, against Iran, Removing oil sanctions against Russia. Russia making billions of dollars a day to help fund its invasion of Ukraine. Russia's helping Iran target American military bases in the region. 13American military bases in the Middle east evacuated. American military interests, corporate interests continue to be struck. Iran continues to have its firm iron grip, iron control over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's foreign minister, Iraqi, says again, we're not having negotiations with the United States. We put forward our non negotiables. They're sending us messages. And the message we're sending back is here are our non negotiables. Okay? We want reparations. We want to keep our ballistic missiles. We want to control the Strait of Hormuz. We want security gatherings, guarantees for us, the Houthis, for the Shiites in Iraq and the Shiite, the Shiite militias in Iraq and Hezbollah and Lebanon. While all of this is going on, let's take a look at what's going down. What are the maga, Republican Congress members who recessed Congress, what are they doing over here? You have Congressmember Van Orden, Rouser, McGuire, you also have Murphy, you Have Chris Smith, you have Fitzgerald. All these MAGA Republicans are out here, like, living it up in Scotland during the shutdown, during the government shutdown, while you see this rapid escalation in the war. A reporter asked Donald Trump in the Oval Office yesterday, you know, Iran threatened a bunch of US Companies in the region today. Donald, so what do you make of that? And Donald Trump's like, what are they threatening with us? What are they threatening us with? BB guns? They don't have any weapons at all. They have. Yes, they do. They do. You've only destroyed at most one third of their ballistic missile capabilities. They still have thousands, perhaps tens of thousands Shahi drones, perhaps hundreds of thousands of those FPV drones. You didn't just, like, what world are you all living in? I mean, this is just some of the most delusional and deranged stuff. Here's what he said in the Oval Office. Play this.

Donald Trump (Impersonation or Clip)
They don't have anything. Look at our military. The Democrats don't want that.

And then he said in the Oval Office yesterday, he goes, you know, when I read the New York Times, you would think that Iran's putting up a good fight. They're not. They've been decimated. They've been obliterated. They're not doing anything. They quite literally are. I mean, again, what world is he and these MAGA Republicans living? I'm showing you the videos, I'm showing you the photos. Who controls the Strait of Hormuz now?

Donald Trump?

If you've decimated them, just go take the straight of Hormuz. It should be easy. Why is the Islamic Republic and the Iran Iranian Revolutionary Guard still in control? If you've utterly obliterated, where are the people protesting on the street saying that they want Donald and Netanyahu like you promised were going to happen? Yeah, that was never going to happen. Utterly deranged. And by the way, there were protesters who wanted to get rid of the regime back in January, and you betrayed them. You threw them under the bus. You expect them right now to protest when you said that you would like to work with the Ayatollah while everybody clowns you and mocks you and laughs at you. What are you doing? Here's what he said about you would think that they're putting up a good fight. They're not. We've decimated them. Play this clip.

Donald Trump (Impersonation or Clip)
And when I read the fake New York Times, you take a look at it. It's like, oh, they're putting up a good fight. They're not putting up a fight. They're not even shooting at us, okay? We have planes. Planes are just ruling the sky. We have airplanes. Those two, Those two. We have airplanes. Nice, right? Lincoln with a little modern touch. The great Benjamin Franklin with a little modern touch. But think of it. They are roaming the skies over Tehran. They're not even being shot at because their equipment's been totally decimated. They have nothing to shoot. We have, they have no navy, they have no anything. And just think about this. They have no navy, they have no military, they have no nothing. They're losing. They admit they're losing. They're begging to make a deal. And if you read the fake New York Times, a corrupt newspaper where I'm suing them and I think I should do very well, but you would almost think who's winning?

And then you have Caroline Levitt saying that tonight Donald Trump will be holding a national address, 9:00pm Eastern Time. He will address the nation. What are you going to address the nation? What are you going to say? What are you going to say? The strait of her moves has been lost. The United States security umbrella in the Middle east lost. The United States alliances weakened, Russia strengthened, sanctions removed from Iran. And Russia, I mean they're seriously, what the hell are you even going to be saying? We know how unpopular this war is here in the United States. A Reuters Ipsos poll that was just released found about two thirds of Americans want the US out and its involvement. Only 27% Americans support this war. The rest want America out. Also in the latest Gallup poll which tracks voter identification, Republican voter ID nationwide only at 39%, the lowest in the history of the Gallup poll. People are at Donald Trump and MAGA and all of these MAGA Republican sycophants. And I showed you what they're doing. They're vacationing in Scotland right now. You have Lindsey Graham vacationing in Disney World with the little bubble machine that my 18 month old daughter loves. And he's playing with the bubbles. Got a really bizarre and deranged behavior. As I noted before and in other videos, Iran's Foreign Minister Aragchi said the following about potential peace talks with the US we do not have any faith that negotiations with the US Will yield any results. The trust level is at zero. Also for Islamic Republic Day yesterday you had pro regime protests, pro Islamic Republic protests across Iran yesterday. And a well known Iranian professor wrote, across Iran, people are on the streets in defiance of the Epstein Coalition airstrikes and missile fire. And in one of those protests you had Iran's foreign minister, Iraqi Right there. Iran's foreign minister appeared in Tehran at a public gathering and he attended, attended a nighttime public gathering in order to motivate people there. What else is happening on the domestic front? The former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem responded to the fact that her husband was, I guess, identified by the Daily Mail as being involved in a particular cross dressing community that involves doing like triple E, like breasts or triple E. I forget what they call the bimbo. Something is, there's like a name for the fetish. And again, I'm not here to kink shame or fetish shame or anything like that. What you do in private, as long as it's safe and consensual, you do you in private. What bothers me is people like Kristi Noeman, this whole MAGA group that want to mock people and harm marginalized communities and pry into people's private lives and have the government intrude and tread on people. And in behind the scenes, they're just very hypocritical people. That's what I want to point out. And I'm not here to again, kink shame or anything like that. Whatever you do in private is what you do in private. Just be safe, be consensual, do what you got. I'm not judging. It's just these people. What I do, judge, is when these people attack the private lives of others and the happiness of others. And it's like, don't throw stones. Don't throw those stones. Donald Trump continued to talk yesterday about his, his new fetish, which is the Trump Presidential Library, which actually isn't a library at all. He seems to be planning to use all of those funds that were meant for a presidential library, which many, many of which came from those settlements extracted from companies to build a hotel. So his presidential library is actually a hotel that he would personally profit from. These are real photos of what he wants to be in his hotel. A gigantic golden Trump statute, a 747 in the lobby, a golden ballroom. Of course, you know my. As Thomas Kennedy points out, Miami Dade College gifted a multimillion dollar public land under the purview of it being used as a presidential library just so he could grift and build a hotel as predicted. Actually, DeSantis, in my opinion, stole the land from Miami Dade College and gave it to Donald Trump, who's now building a Trump Hotel on it. And here's what Donald Trump said about it. Again, while all of this is happening in the world, while the war is escalating, while despite Donald Trump wanting To pull out of the war. It ain't going away. This is what he's talking about. Let's play this close.

Donald Trump (Impersonation or Clip)
Your son Eric posted a photo of what will be the Trump Presidential Library. It's a huge skyscraper in Miami. Is that all a library? What else is going in? No. Well, it's a library. It's a museum or a library. It's a presidential, but I wouldn't start it till I'm out of office. I don't believe in building libraries or museums. It's really like the Barack Hussein Obama one in Chicago in not a good location. And it's a very unattractive building that's seriously late and seriously over budget. I think you're going to see a great one here and it'll go up on time, on budget. Best location in Miami. Best. They say it's the best block in Miami. And the state worked with us. No, it's going to be most likely a hotel. You know, this concept could be office, but it's most likely going to be a hotel with a beautiful building Underneath and a 747 Air Force One in the lobby, which is going to be a trick.

And finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the following. A reporter by the name of Shelly Kittleson was abducted and seems to have been taken hostage in Baghdad by Khatib Hezbollah. Her whereabouts and conditions are unknown. As Alex Plaitis explains that he's her designated US Point of contact. And just want you to take a look at how these State Departments responded to an American hostage. Right. Hezbollah of Iraq took an American hostage. And this is how our State Department responded. The United States State. The United States Department of State is aware of the reported kidnapping of an American journalist in Baghdad, Iraq. The State Department previously fulfilled our duty to warn this individual of threats against them. And we will continue to coordinate with the FBI to ensure their release as quickly as possible. An individual with ties to the Iranian aligned militia group Khatib Hezbollah, believed to be involved in the kidnapping, has been taken into custody by the Iraqi authorities. Iraq remains at level four travel advisory. The State Department strongly advises all Americans to adhere to travel advisories. But the way they describe, it's like blaming the reporter. You know, we're aware of it. The State Department fulfilled our duty to warn. I mean, fulfilled your State Department. Why do you have to say that right now? Just help. Help find the hostage. What are you, what are you even talking about? So that's where we're at right now. We'll keep you posted every step of the way.
