businesscredit Donald Trump is panicking as Iran once again has successfully targeted a United States air base in Kuwait following the United States launching strikes against Iran throughout the night into the early morning hours, the United States and Iran were exchanging fire. This is a fake cease fire, as I've said before, intended for Donald Trump's market manipulation. Let me tell you what's going down. So we learned that there were missile and drone sirens that were activated in Kuwait. According to a release from the Kuwaiti Army, Kuwait's air defenses were engaged in a large wave of Iranian missiles and drones. The Kuwaiti Defense Ministry told the public, remain sheltered in place. Remain sheltered in place. Iran then said, oh, we hit the target that we were aiming for right there, that U.S. air base in Kuwait. Because they said that the United States was using that air base to strike Iran and that there was these outbreaks of this war that's been taking place totally covered up by our media right here. The US had to admit what it was doing. Here's what went down. Iran's mayor news agency released a statement from the irgc. Following these back and forth strikes, here's the statement from the irgc. The origin of the aggression against the Syric island telecommunications tower was targeted following the recent aggression by the invading US army against a telecommunications tower on Srik island in the Hormuzgan province. The IRGC aerospace force fighters targeted the air base from which the aggression originated and the predicted targets were destroyed. The IRGC aerospace force warned that if the aggression is repeated, the response will be completely different and the responsibility lies with the invading and child killing US Regime. So you remember our reporting over the weekend and I saw a lot of comments saying, Ben, are your reports true? Because I'm not hearing this anywhere else. You're talking about Iran striking down three to five US aircraft and MQ9 Reaper, another MQ9 Reaper and MQ1. That there were five Americans who were injured on this Kuwaiti air base 48 hours ago. Why aren't we hearing this anywhere else? Because our corporate news is regime media and they're covering up most of the stuff, that's why. And so this telecommunications tower has been used by Iran. Among other things, they've been able to successfully track these F35s and these drones. So the US struck the telecommunications towers which were being used to track the MQ9 reapers and the MQ1. And then Iran responded and Iran just hit the US air base in Kuwait. Now US Central Command was just forced to admit what went down. CENTCOM announced that over the weekend it carried out what it refers to as quote, several self defense strikes on Iranian air defenses. Radar command and control sites and one way attack drones in Guruk, Iran and Kesham Island. The strikes which occurred Saturday and Sunday were in response to what they said were recent aggressive actions by Iran to include the shooting down of a US MQ1 predator that was operating over the international waters of the Persian Gulf. So the United States says that we were put in our MQ1 and MQ9 reapers over what the US claims was international waters. Iran said, these are our, our land, this is our area. And then they were struck down. And then the US Said that we were acting defensive by attacking Iran yet again. This was defensive. This was not aggressive. We were on the defense by going on the offense. This is straight out of George Orwell's 1984, in fact, far more dangerous in my view. But then Iran responded and Iran just targeted the U.S. air base and hit it again. Meanwhile, you have all Donald Trump's weirdo maga propagandists like Laura Loomer saying it's time to finish the job. The back and forth is getting boring. The back and forth is getting boring. You know, the American people are suffering right now as a result of this catastrophic war and people across the world are suffering. And the Trump regime and Netanyahu having great have engaged in terrible war crimes in Iran, in Lebanon, genocide in Gaza. I mean, did you know that in the past 24 hours, 41 people were killed and 140 people were wounded in Israeli strikes, strikes across Lebanon on Saturday, which frankly should be called US And Israeli strikes across Lebanon because Trump is green lighting this. According to Lebanon's health Ministry, Israeli attacks have killed 3,412 people and wounded 10,269 others since Israel escalated its assault on March 2nd. And we've seen amongst these 41 people killed and 140 wounded children, mothers, lots of innocent people. And again, that doesn't get any attention at all. That's right by the city of Tyre or Sur. And it is just beyond fathomable what's going on there every single day. And so Kelly Myers, reporter, she tried to ask Hegseth a question. She was there with Hegseth. Hegseth was on this Asia trip, the Shangri La trip, and he was coming back and he was being asked these questions and she goes, I tried to ask Hegseth about this when he deplaned at jba, but no comment. As he walked to his car to leave about five, this is what we're learning. We reported on this three days ago. Five U.S. national Service members and contractors reportedly injured by Quote, falling debris from intersection. Intercepted Iranian missiles on the Ali Al Salam air base in Kuwait. Falling debris. They think we're the stupidest people. I'm sure that's what happened. It was the falling debris. No, what happened was the US Targeted Iran. Iran responded. They hit Ali Al Salem. Our service members who were at this air base once again were not protected because our Trump, this Trump regime is utterly incompetent. And five people were seriously injured at least. And it's probably more than that because the Trump regime covers up everything. And now Hegseth, who is saying that he doesn't want to see fatties at the UFC fight that will be taking place on the White House lawn where they've like ripped apart the White House for this UFC fight. No fatties, they say. And remember the video I did yesterday? No one wants to be affiliated with this sick Epstein class weird event for Trump's birthday. Even Rogan's like, this is a terrible idea, this event. But Hegseth refuses to answer a very basic question about that. Now, Iran's leadership, they're issuing numerous warnings. Right now you have Iran's main spokesperson at the IRGC saying if Netanyahu does not stop his genocidal war in Lebanon, the collapse of the American economy will begin in June. Now you may be like, well, what does he know about the American economy in June? It's irgc. That's IRGC propaganda. No, one of the top Exxon executives said that if this war, if this catastrophic war is not resolved by Donald Trump in the next week to week and a half, we will, we will see the biggest oil shock ever because we've hit that point where we've tapped into our oil reserves. And the oil reserves that we've tapped into will now hit this critical threshold level where all of the, the prices of gas will be forced to be raised significantly. The price per barrel will now hit 180 to 200 because the reserves will kind of tap out at this, to this critical level. And then you'll be seeing $6, $7, $8. You'll be seeing gas lines. We're very close. I've been warning about this. The Exxon executive finally said it. And it's why it's important that we track what's going on and not buy into all of this propaganda. I mean, remember the prop yesterday morning? The propaganda yesterday morning is there's this outlet that's called Iran International, which makes you think they're an Iranian, that they're in Iran, but they're Iranians. Who left Iran that have Iran International. And they did an article that said Iran's President Pezeshkian offers resignation citing total takeover by the IRGC commanders. Well, you have to look into what Iran International is. It's an Iranian dissident news network that was received. It was reported that it received lots of funding from Western sources or the UAE or others. And then we know this is false. The Iranians came out with a statement. The rumor mongering by the disreputable foreign network is a continuation of previous ridiculous media games. They have published their own wishful thinking in place of reality. President Possesskin will not retreat from serving the people. Just as the Iranian nation will not step back from the path of solidarity and resistance. They will take their wish to shatter the unity of the Iranian nation to the grave. Another Iranian leader wrote, to ward off the evil of the child killing regime and to liberate the dear people of Lebanon from their current lamentable situation, we must first, Iran, in coordination with the resistance groups in the region, must take action against the bloodthirsty Zionist regime. Second, the Bab El Mandab Strait must be closed. And third, the skies over the capital of Israel in the region, the Emirates must rain down stars. And then you had the Foreign Ministry spokesperson take a photo with the IRGC spokesperson showing the political side of Iran is united with the military side of Iran. And they said for one nation, for one country, for one goal, ready for any situation, field and diplomacy side by side. If you make me armor clad for the of blades, if you gird my waist for the making of peace to whatever you show me hot and cold I am receptive from reconciliation to battle. Come with me whatever you have of sword and cup for in both of these I have a full hand. Now I'll just show you in terms of the media manipulation you had. Barack Ravid of Axios also last night he said Marco Rubio spoke over the last 48 hours with Lebanese President Joseph Ayoun and Israeli Prime Minister Nixon Netanyahu to try to push forward a new ceasefire initiative. A U.S. official told me then Burak Ravi does like all of these siren emojis. I'm showing you the video footage of what Netanyahu was doing in Lebanon. I'm showing you Tyre, I've shown you before Beirut, showing you the thousands of people who have been killed. Many, many, many innocent people, mothers, children, people in general being killed by Israel right there and then. So over here when you, when you try to read basically all of this, whatever this gibberish is basically it says that Israel was demanding that in Lebanon Hezbollah stopped first. Otherwise Israel's going to keep on going on and they blame Lebanon, Lebanon, this is your fault. And then so basically after all of this, the story is Rubio was not able to get a deal because the Trump regime can't do a deal with anybody. Look at Barack Ravid's reporting on Iran. I tracked all of starting on March 9, 2026. Are you ready for this? March 9, 2026 Trump says Iran war will be over very soon. March 13, 2026 Scoop Trump claimed in G7 call that Iran is about to surrender. March 23, 2026 US negotiating with senior Iranian official Trump. March 24, 2026 US awaits Iran's response on peace summit as Israel watches warily. March 25, 2026 White House downplays reports Iran rejected Trump peace proposal. March 27, 2026 Rubio tells allies Iran war will continue two to four more weeks. April 5, 2026 Trump to Axios Iran deal possible by Tuesday. Otherwise I'm blowing everything up. April 15, 2020 April 11 April 10, 2026 US and Iran inch toward framework deal. April 12, 2026 Scoop US considers $20 billion cash for uranium deal with Iran. April 12, 2026 Trump tells Axios he expects Iran deal in a day or two. April 26, 2026 Iran offers US deal to reopen straight but postpones nuclear talks. May 23, 2026 Exclusive Trump says he's 5050 on Iran deal decision by Sunday. May 23, 26 US Iran deal to end war will be finalized shortly, Trump says. Also in May 23rd exclusive what's Inside the Iran deal that's close to signing. May 24 White House said Iran deal could take days. May 28 Scoop US and Iran reach deal, but needs Trump's final approval. May 28 Van says US and Iran are very close to a deal. May 29 Trump's team to decide on Iran deal. I mean, do you get the point? I mean it's this over and over and over again again. The propaganda, the flooding, the deluge is just next level and I'll share with you this. MB Golubov, Iran's parliament leader, also issued a statement and he was with the other kind of parliament leaders today, MB Golubov said. In the new phase of the war, the enemy, through economic pressure and media campaigns, seeks to create division and destroy the country's cohesion in order to compensate for its military military defeat and force us to surrender. What a vain delusion the great and history making nation of Iran knows today that they stand at a sensitive and historical juncture that future generations will envy. They are resisting against a bloodthirsty and murderous enemy that is determined to destroy Iran and Islam so that the Iranians in future years will be proud of their fathers and mothers. The most important factor for victory in this war is cohesion and unity. What has caused the enemy's retreats alongside the military plan power of the combatants is the steadfastness of the people and their unity against a ruthless enemy. This secret to victory must be preserved. So that's what they're saying out of Iran. Donald Trump's posting. The New York Times wrote a story today entitled the Trump administration sees striking exodus of legal talent as though it's a bad thing, when actually it's a good thing. The people that are leaving the radical left deep state lunatic ticks or Donald Trump posted this before fake news CNN today routinely that May. Iran said today routinely that my Iran nuclear deal doesn't talk about nuclear when it actually states very clearly that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. It then goes on in very strong and lengthy detail to discuss various other aspects of nuclear. In fact, that's what most of this agreement is about. CNN and so many others in the fake news media media as a low ratings disaster even with new ownership and is unlikely to even get any better. Donald Trump trying to have his oligarchs take over CNN in this merger. I'll also note that Iran has restored gas production at three South Pars offshore platforms after those US Israeli strikes, which the US like? Oh, it's just Israeli. Iran resumed gas production at three offshore platforms and second South Pars, the world's largest natural gas field. After Israeli strikes and onshore processing facilities in March forced output to halt. The CEO of Pars Oil and Gas company told state media on Sunday. So that's where we are with everything right there. We'll keep you posted. We just need to, we need to get out the accurate information. That's why we take the step by step and you know Trump's out there. Post an hour. You don't know my deal. Well, I showed you. You've been saying there's a deal since March and this is just like what he did during COVID with kind of the same timeline. Right. Was that March of 2020? It's going away, it's going away, it's going away. We're good. April, it'll be gone by Easter, it'll be gone by Summer. It'll be gone, then. It'll be gone then. That's what they were saying. It's the same stuff. This is his cycle that he does over and over again, except in 2020, he lost the election. And then finally, someone who was competent was able to take over. But the arsonist blamed the firefighter for putting out the arson. Right now there's midterms coming up, but, you know, is he going to drag this on forever? Are we going to have to wait for this oil shock, you know? And a complete global catastrophe that we're literally. We're like a week away from it. And I'm not trying to be hyperbolic. I've been keeping us informed every step of the way. We're, like a week away from this happening. Then everyone's gonna be like, oh, my God, it happened. Who would have known? Us. We all knew. We all knew this was happening. And he's. And he keeps on striking Iran. Dude, just get out of there. Just leave. You lost the war. Get out and leave already, man. Or enter into a deal. But leave.
