All hell is breaking loose as Donald Trump's war against Iran is now entering a devastating stage where the entire world has essentially been pulled into this war. You take a look at Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Qatar, and other nearby nations have all confirmed either full or partial oil production shutdowns.

1:29In addition, the Strait of Hermoz is still essentially closed. You take a look at what's going on right now in Ukraine. Russia just launched a brutal ballistic strike on Kharkiv, killing many people there. We cannot forget what's taking place there. We have French President Emmanuel Macron reaching out to nations in the Middle East to try to be a stabilizing force. Prime Minister Keir Starmer is doing the same. You have Turkey basically telling Donald Trump, stop trying to get the Kurds involved in this war in Iran. You have other Kurdish groups, regardless of what Turkey is saying, saying to Donald Trump, you've used and abused us in Syria and other places.

2:16Stop trying to get us involved in this war in Iran. You have the United States and Israel unloading death and destruction in Tehran at a unprecedented scale. And in other cities in Iran, they are targeting oil depots there. We've seen scenes straight out of Armageddon, some of the oil leaking through the sewage on fire. And everywhere you look in some of these Iranian cities, looks like it's straight out of a scene from hell right now. But Iran is retaliating. They are striking the government buildings in Kuwait, American military bases abroad. You have the Middle East quite literally on fire right now.

3:03Ben Meiselas:And Donald Trump's out there posting. Congratulations, everybody. This is a real post that Donald Trump made. We did it. Iran has surrendered. They've said thank you to me. And I've said you're welcome to them. And I am happy that they've surrendered. It's the first time in 1000 years that anyone's got Iran to surrender. Iran hasn't surrendered. What in the world are you talking about? In fact, you've radicalized people in Iran against the United States more than ever before. You have Donald Trump also making posts attacking the United Kingdom right now, attacking the UK. Here's what Donald Trump posted.

3:43Ben Meiselas:The United Kingdom, our once great ally, maybe the greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That's OK, Prime Minister Starmer. We don't need them any longer. But we will remember, we don't need people that join wars after we've already won. Donald J. Trump, what do you mean after we've already won? Why are you attacking the UK? Why would you reject the support from them, even though they're not giving it? Why were you pretending they want to give it? But if they were going to give it, why would you mock them publicly? So then after bashing the United Kingdom, Donald Trump late on Saturday night called the journalist Robert Costa, who asked Donald Trump if he would like to see more U.S.

4:33allies get involved and help the United States at this juncture, to which Donald Trump told Costa, quote, I couldn't care less. They can do whatever they want. The loyal ones are already in. Trump's comments came hours after Donald Trump noted on Truth Social that the United Kingdom had readied aircraft carriers for possible deployment in the Middle East. Trump wrote in his post that those carriers would not be needed, rebuking Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who is characterized by Trump as acting too slow to help the United States use British bases in the Middle East as it launched the U.S.-Israeli strikes.

5:13Trump told CBS News on Saturday night that the possibility of the British sending aircraft carriers was late and unnecessary as a gesture. quote, it's a little bit late to be sending ships, right? A little bit late, Donald Trump said, and he emphasized, I could not care less if any of our allies help us. I could not care less. Also, Donald Trump in this late night interview on Saturday with CBS News and Robert Kassa dismissed threats from Iran's top national security official, Ali Laranjani, who said that Trump must pay the price for killing the Ayatollah and for all of these other strikes the U.S.

5:55is engaged in. Donald Trump told CBS, quote, I have no idea what he, referring to Ali Larajani, Ali Larajani, I have no clue what he's talking about, who he is. I couldn't care less. I couldn't care less. Trump said he's already been defeated.

6:15Ben Meiselas:He intended to take over the Middle East and he's conceded and surrendered to all of those countries because of me, Donald Trump said Saturday night. He's already surrendered to all of the Middle Eastern countries because he was trying to take over the entire Middle East. That's why all of those rockets were long ago aimed at those countries. He had that plan long before this started. I mean, concerning Donald Trump does not even know who Larry Johnny is. And also Donald Trump says that he surrendered to all the Middle East countries. What the hell are you talking about? Also, Donald Trump says, it's incredible.

6:53Ben Meiselas:This is incredible. What a job we've done. The missiles are blowed them to smithereens. They're down to a very few. The drones are blown. The factories are blown. As we speak, the Navy is gone. That's not a thing. It's gone. Donald Trump said, we're winning at levels never seen before. And quickly, I mean, this guy is actually demented. This is actually a psychotic human being, folks. Isn't it obvious right there? You don't want support. You don't want allies. It's utterly deranged. And also right now, we know that Russia and China are providing material assistance to Iran for Iran to attack the United States and U.S.

7:39Ben Meiselas:interests in the Middle East. Russia is providing hour by hour real-time intelligence to Iran how to kill American troops. Yet Donald Trump says, I don't know about that. And even if they were doing it, well, I guess they would say the U.S. does it to Russia. So why would it even bother me? Why, Donald? Because you're the president of the United States. And also Donald Trump removed certain critical sanctions against Russia for Russia to be able to sell its oil. So now that oil prices are skyrocketing, Russia is making all of this money unloading previously sanctioned oil, which Russia is going to use all of this money to buy more missiles to attack Ukraine.

8:23Ben Meiselas:And over the past 24, 48 hours, that's precisely what it's doing, unleashing huge ballistic missile strikes against Ukraine. You've got our defense department, which masquerades and runs around saying, we're the Department of War. Here's what we do while blowing up elementary schools in Iran and blowing up desalination factories in Iran. And Pete Heggs would say, this is what we do. Lethality. We kill people here at the Department of War. I mean, just shut the hell up. But we are now begging Zelensky for help because Zelensky and Ukraine has knowledge how to shoot down Shahid drones and these ballistic missiles.

9:06Ben Meiselas:So we're begging Zelensky, but then Donald Trump supporting Vladimir Putin's ability to provide Iran with intelligence to kill American soldiers and allow Putin to make all of this money in order to enrich himself and removing the sanctions from Putin, which is ultimately being used to attack Ukraine. Like, then Donald Trump is so thirsty to be able to go to Beijing for that state visit that Donald Trump wants to go to so badly that Donald Trump is refusing to call out China's help of Iran as well. Let's just take a look at what's going down. You've got President Emmanuel Macron of France posting the following message.

9:50France is committed to the stability and security of Iraq and the Kurdistan region within it. I met with President Barzani to express my solidarity in the face of

10:00Ben Meiselas:attacks of recent days. We agreed to continue our efforts to prevent the conflict from spreading to the entire region. I thanked him for his commitment in this regard. France continues to support the full respect of Iraq's sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, including that of Kurdistan. Macron then writes, our partners know it. They can count on France. I just want you to think about it. As Donald Trump's attacking the UK and NATO is basically non-existent right now, as Donald Trump is out there supporting Putin's ability to kill American soldiers and attack American interests via Iranian Shahid drones as its proxy, you have Macron having to be a voice of somewhat reason in the area.

10:45He goes, our partners know it. They can count on France.

10:48Ben Meiselas:This is the case for Ukraine, which is holding its ground despite massive Russian attacks that continue to claim numerous civilian casualty attacks, which I condemn. Those attacks are taking place right now. I know people don't want to focus on what's happening in Ukraine or there's so much distractions going on that they can't. We're going to make sure you focus on it here at the Midas Touch Network because Russia right now is the big winner of Donald Trump's invasion of Iran because Russia gets to sell its oil. Russia is helping Iran target the U.S. and Russia is now able to attack Ukraine with less world attention focused on it.

11:27Ben Meiselas:Do you see how that's happening? You have Macron goes on to say the crisis in the Middle East will divert neither our attention nor our efforts. Good. We will continue to support the Ukrainians in their fight for their freedom and sovereignty. I reiterated this to President Zelensky with whom we have just reviewed the situation. Europe can neither hesitate nor slow down. The effort must continue, both for the adoption of new sanctions and for the release of the financial support for Ukraine agreed upon in December. France will do its part and everyone must step up for their responsibilities. You have Zelensky saying the following.

12:05I spoke with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, MBS. We discussed the security situation in the Middle East and the Gulf region, the existing challenges and countering threats from the Iranian regime. Ukrainians have been fighting against Shahid drones for years now, and everyone recognizes that no other country in the world has this kind of experience, that Ukraine does. We are ready to help, and we expect that our people will also receive the support that they need. Protecting life must be a shared priority. In other words, don't use us. And it is very important to coordinate for security, both in Europe and in the Middle East.

12:41We also spoke about deepening our bilateral cooperation and the projects we can implement together. We will continue working together on further development. And then Zelensky talks about these Russian ballistic missile and drone strikes that are tragically taking place right now. Russia is using the war that's taking place in Iran for Russia to now say there is no international order anymore. It's the law of the strong, the law of the jungle. And we are not restrained by anything at this point because the U.S. has zero credibility. The U.S. is the ultimate predator state at this point. This predator hegemon who's out there doing the American shields breakfast, whatever the hell Donald Trump was doing, invading all of these countries.

13:31Cuba's next. This one's next. Putin's like, great, I'm going to. No one can restrain me anymore because look what the U.S. has become. Wow, wow, wow. Has Donald Trump destroyed everything, everything the United States has built? What a pathetic traitor, Donald Trump. Sorry, just get angry because he's destroyed everything that we once had here in the United States, just as he's bankrupted his casinos, just as he's destroyed everything he's touched in his life because he is a scumbag and he is a loser in every aspect of life. And now he's doing it again. It should be just look at his background and look at his past.

14:10He's never a dealmaker. He bankrupted everything. He's a fraud. He's a sexual predator. He's a felon. He's a disgusting thing. And he's doing it now. And he's destroyed our country. And it really just pisses me off. And even Zelensky says, since last night, work has been ongoing to clear the rubble of a residential building in Kharkiv following a Russian ballistic missile strike. A whole section was destroyed and the upper floors of a neighboring building were damaged. And fortunately, as of now, it is known that seven people have been killed. More than 10 people have been injured, including children.

14:43People may still be trapped under the rubble. All necessary services are working at the scene for the rescue operation. Pause there and put this in the comments. I want to hear from you directly on this one. Have you heard about this from any other news source? Have you heard any other media talking about what we're talking about here? Zelensky words are right there. He social media posted it. But do you hear anybody else giving this attention? By the way, make sure you hit subscribe. Help us get to 7 million subscribers.

15:16Zelensky goes on to say, Russia used 29 missiles, nearly half of them ballistic and 480 drones. Most of them Shahids, Iranian drones. So if you think Iran is running out of drones that it could use in the Middle East, 480 Shahid drones yesterday were shot at Ukraine by Russia. Just put that through your head right now. They targeted energy infrastructure in Kyiv. All these other regions, Zeprishia, Odessa, Paltava, Sumi, relevant services are working wherever necessary. There must be a response from partners to the savage strikes against life. Zelensky also addresses Russia's help of Iran. He goes, since we have information now about Russia's assistance of the Iranian regime, regime reports that the Russians are providing intelligence to the Iranian regime to help adjust strikes against America.

16:11There is also evidence of Russia components in the Shahi drones used in the Middle East against both Arab countries and Americans in the regions. Every such fact shows that we are dealing with regimes not merely connected to one another, but that sustain one another. They are killing in a coordinated way, both in Europe and the Middle East. Therefore, defense must also be coordinated. Life in Europe and life in the Middle East deserve equally effective protection. For our part, we are working to help strengthen defenses against Shahi drones, and we quite rightfully expect that our own defenses will receive the necessary support as well, and that Russia will face consequences not only for dragging out this war against us, but also for attempting to expand that war further.

16:59Ben Meiselas:In other words, don't use and abuse us and tell us you need our help, but then don't help us. We ain't playing that game right now. So let me show you what Donald Trump said. When Trump was asked about Russia's involvement, reporter asks the following, what would it mean to you if Russia were sharing, targeting information with Iran? Play this clip. If they're getting information, it's not helping them much. What would it mean to you if they were? I mean, even if it's not helping the Iranians particularly much and still involving themselves in a conflict that they're not correct they'd say we do it against them wouldn't they wouldn't they say that we do it against them uh i don't know look they can give all the information that they want but the people they're sending it to are overwhelmed russia would be overwhelmed too anybody would be overwhelmed we have the greatest military on earth and I built it in my first term and unfortunately I'm forced to use it now.

18:01Donald Trump is also asked by the reporter, what do you know about what Russia is doing? Play this clip. I'm sort of a military. Mr. President, can I ask you what Peter asked you a question yesterday? He said it wasn't a lifetime and not a bad, but he was asking whether you have indications of whether Russia is supporting Iran somehow in this. No, I haven't had that. I haven't had no indication of that whatsoever. If they are, they're not doing a very good job because Iran is not doing too well. What about the strained war moves? A reporter then asks Steve Whitcoff, who's like a Putin sycophant at this point,

18:37Ben Meiselas:at always, at every point, have you my opinion? Have you communicated to the Russians, don't do this, stop killing American soldiers? And Whitcoff's like, well, I just hope they're not doing it. I hope not, he says. I hope not.

19:17Ben Meiselas:What do you mean you hope not? What does that mean? You hope not. This is America. Stand strong. What is going on here? Regarding what I said earlier in my reporting, reporters are saying that they're hearing that Trump's U-turn on Kurds is largely a result of pressure from Ankara and Iraqi Kurds being skeptical of the U.S. commitment to the whole plan going along would have derailed Washington's relationship with Turkey and Turkish Kurdish ties. Trump now says he's not asking the Kurds to go in and doesn't want Kurds hurt or killed ruling out arming Kurds. Remember I told you from the outset that was never happening to begin with and it was more just Donald Trump lies.

19:59And just so you see, Donald Trump has again turned the United States into a pariah state across the Middle East. Here in the Iraqi parliament, chance of death to America broke out. Here, play this clip.

20:20And now we are heading towards perhaps$5 a gallon of gasoline right now at the tank. That's where we're headed with all of this. More American lives will probably be lost. This is horrific right now what is taking place. This is absolutely, absolutely horrific. Let me know what you all think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. Thanks for watching.
