Iran's leadership announced the use of a new secret weapon in response to Donald Trump further escalating the catastrophic war in Iran that Trump and Netanyahu launched over six months ago. Also, Iran's senior military leadership also announced a new plan that it will be rolling out in response to Donald Trump's escalation.

2:49Not only has Iran been able to already match Donald Trump's escalation that began last week, the Trump regime struck the coastal areas of Iran. Trump killed people who were attending a wedding in Syriq. Iran responded right away, striking U.S. military bases in the region. Then the Trump regime said that Iran was trying to strike some of the U.S. aircraft carriers and ships in the region, which Iran said, nope, we were just firing a warning shot to show you the secret weapon that we now have. And if we want to be able to strike the aircraft carrier or some of these ships in the region. We can very easily do that, but we want to make sure we give you all the warning possible because if we hit one of your ships, it's going to result in hundreds of US service members killed.

3:42In response to that, rather than the Trump regime saying, all right, well, we're going to leave or we're going to strike military targets, the Trump regime struck three oil tankers belonging to Iran. One was empty. Two had oil aboard the tankers. And then Iran responded by shooting six ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The Kepler data, Kepler's a group that monitors shipping data throughout the world or shipping routes throughout the world. They're saying now that it's really only a few ships that are getting in and out of the Strait of Hormuz. And when Donald Trump claims 18 million barrels are leaving each day through the strait.

4:24It's probably more like four or five million barrels a day, and that may decrease even more as a result of Donald Trump's reckless escalation. I want to share with you, though, what Iran's Security Council Secretary, Moshe N. Razai, said in an interview about the new secret weapon that Iran has, as well as Iran's new plan it will be implementing. This is a really big update, folks. So, Moshin Razai said, 48 hours ago for the first time, we, the IRGC, Iran, Iran's army, tested an Iranian anti-ship missile above an American warship. This special missile created a hell for the Americans and they fled.

5:12Let's talk about what this missile probably is. It's probably a Qasem Basir medium range anti-ship ballistic missile, which has a range of approximately 1 ,200 kilometers. We recently saw the Houthis in Yemen use this against certain Saudi tankers and the Saudi-backed military forces in the region. The Houthis have been making significant advancements in Yemen as well to more territories in Western Yemen and other areas in Yemen as well. And now that you have Moshe and Reza talking about this secret weapon, it is most likely this Qasem Basir medium-range missile, which can cause absolute hell and absolute chaos now that Iran is showing that it has this weapon and that it's willing to use it.

6:08But thus far, MotionRezai says, we just basically fired a warning shot. Here's what the ballistic missile looks like. You can see for yourself. This first one is what it looks like in Yemen. You can see it right here. Here's some other photos of it. There's another weapon that Iran's been using with a lot of success also. USA Today reported about it last week, and here's how they describe it. Analysts tell USA Today that the U.S. military under Hegsip wasn't prepared to stop the maneuverable Kaibar Shakin missile that Tehran deployed so far in this catastrophic war that Trump and Netanyahu launched.

6:52It's called the Castle Breaker, and then like some of the other ballistic missiles that just basically go from point A to point B and don't kind of maneuver around some of the interceptors that are being used against it.

7:06Ben Meiselas:The Castle Breaker, this Kaibar Shakin, is able to kind of change its course in the middle of the air to avoid the interceptors. So not only has the United States run out of interceptors like the PAC-3s and the THAAD interceptors and other munitions that we're very low on or fully run out of, but even if we have them, they struggle to strike down the new Kaibar shakens. So I think that's a major development. Also, I'll show you this in a little bit. The Houthis published a video yesterday where they showed the use of some of the upgraded ballistics on a convoy of Saudi-backed forces in Yemen. And they showed the precision with which they're able to strike using these new weapons, these upgraded weapons.

7:59Ben Meiselas:So far from the Trump regime destroying Iran's capabilities. Iran has enhanced its capabilities, both in terms of the quantity and in terms of the quality of the weapons. Iran Security Council Secretary Razai also explained the following. In the coming days and weeks, we will announce a restricted zone outside the Strait of Hormuz that starts from the U.S. Navy's blockade line and extends through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf. Any ship identified entering this zone with the intention of passing through the strait will be added to our sanctions list. Meaning if you cross this line right here, and you could take a look at this visual I'm putting on screen, where the U.S.

8:45Ben Meiselas:blockade line is, what Iran's saying is any tanker at all that passes through this without coordinating, which is significantly further beyond the Strait of Hormuz demarcation line. It's kind of right by the Gulf of Oman. Iran says, we basically reserve the rights to destroy your ship. So in other words, you escalate. We're going to start shooting all these ships deep in the Gulf of Oman, which we haven't really been doing yet. We've been striking the ships trying to use the southern route by Oman in the Strait of Hormuz, but we'll start shooting deep by the U.S. blockade line. And I think that's a big development as well.

9:32Ben Meiselas:Also, Iran Security Council Secretary Motion Rezi says the following, the Americans are trying to smuggle five to six vessels, spending a lot of money, but these ships are usually targeted. We have not yet decided to sink them because they are carrying petroleum products. If they were to pollute the entire Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, it would create a problem for us as well. However, none of them pass through safely. Eventually, they suffered damage. Iran's parliament leader, their top civilian official, essentially, M.B. Golubov, who previously had a career in Iran's military, said the following, Americans must have understood that the era of proportionate response is over.

10:16Ben Meiselas:The game is now changed. Any violation of Iran's interest and security will receive a faster, heavier, and more painful response. And he also seems to have alluded to their use of these new ballistics, both the Kasem Basir medium range anti-ship ballistic and the Castle Breakers, which the U.S. does not have a response for and which was used as a warning shot. Also, the Kasim ballistic missile that was over the weekend. And we saw the U.S. go relatively silent after that. Now, while you have these warnings and these statements being made by Iran, I want to share it with you because we're not getting this perspective from American media at all, period, full stop.

11:05Ben Meiselas:But you have Pete Hegseth, the incompetent, idiotic Secretary of Defense. He posts images like this. The flyovers will continue until morale improves. But you've been in this position for about two years. until the morale improves? I thought you said that it's the highest morale ever. Oh, wait a minute. You are lying. It's the lowest morale ever. Our troops are not even being fed appropriately. They're not getting mail. They're not getting packages from their family. The plumbing on these aircraft carriers and ships is destroyed. You're not doing the basic nuts and bolts of logistics because you were a failure your damn whole damn life, You couldn't run a small nonprofit veterans group without being pushed out for mismanagement.

11:58Ben Meiselas:Then you were a failed Fox weekend host. And of course, Donald Trump bankrupted most of the companies he was affiliated with, including casino after casino. And look at what this lunatic Donald Trump was posting this weekend. Bye-bye Karg, weird AI images, weird AI slop, again, of him hammering Karg Island in his own fairy tale delusional psychotic imagination. Donald Trump sitting on like a throne. Give them nightmares. Give them nightmares. Do you realize that the whole world just views you as weak and pathetic and a loser? Nobody's scared of you. Everybody views you as a vile, weak piece of trash.

12:39Ben Meiselas:By the way, Putin is laughing in your face. I mean, you send Kushner and Whitcoff, your loser son-in-law who was going to bankrupt the one building daddy gave him during your first term in Qatar, how to bail him out, or your scumbag real estate buddy, Steve Whitcoff, who owned apartments in Harlem, who goes in there and goes, Vladimir, today is a day I will talk about forever after my retirement. I am so grateful for you to honor me with your presence. So weak, so damn pathetic. Back to Iran's Security Council Secretary for a second. He goes, we have reserved the right to respond to Americans' attack on a wedding ceremony in Kustak, Syriq, and Syriq County.

13:31Ben Meiselas:And the Americans should know this. Then he goes on to say, we have every right, this is Iran Security Council Secretary Moshe Razai, we have every right to distrust America. We engage in diplomacy and negotiations, but we have a right to be skeptical. Now they claim that Iran cannot be trusted. First of all, they are lying. We are among the most trustworthy nations in the world. Why? Because we have never initiated an attack on any country, never challenged the political borders of others or any other country and have fulfilled all our international commitments. Americans, on the other hand, have never honored their commitments and have always opposed our nation.

14:12Ben Meiselas:Even Pavlavi, who went to America due to revolutionary pressure, was abandoned by them. Had he returned, you would have seen the calamity they would have inflicted upon him within two or three months, despite him being their own agent. This is because their policy towards Iran and its people is one of complete control, wanting nothing more than a group of servants who follow orders blindly. This is all they have ever wanted. That's what he says right there. And as I see him speaking and giving that interview, I just reflect last night of literally dumb and dumber, right? And you could tell me who's dumb and who's dumber.

14:52Ben Meiselas:Whitcoff and Kushner right over there getting out of Ukraine very quickly after further shaming the United States. I did that video yesterday, you should go and watch, of their press conference in Kiev where Kushner's like, Donald Trump is a business guy. So we're here, and I'll do my Kushner voice. We're here to try to find a win-win business deal between Ukraine and Russia. Russia has its own aspirations. And so we're trying to bring Russia's aspirations to Ukraine. And then Whitcoff was like, and Putin has greeted me so nicely all eight times I visit. He's shown me nothing but respect. And I believe in personal relationships.

15:41Ben Meiselas:Okay, great Whitcoff that you believe in personal relationships. You know what Putin believes in? you being an idiot. He handpicked you because you're dumb dumb. That's why you and Kushner are dumb and dumber. And it is a weapon of mass destruction, almost more powerful than a nuclear weapon, perhaps more powerful against the United States to see dumb and dumber show up in Moscow and behave the way you did, and then go to Ukraine and behave the way you did. That is Putin weaponizing your dumb dumbness okay and that's exactly what happened it's like i watched that and our american media is so propagandized here that you can't get anything accurate from them but the people who watch us were like what the hell was that the hell are these losers who are these people these people are where's the i don't like rubio but at least he's the secretary of state like that's his that's his job the hell is he we got you we got these two freaking losers out there.

16:43Ben Meiselas:Meanwhile, you know who also sees weakness in the Trump regime and sees Trump covering up child sex trafficking and knows exactly the buttons to push? Netanyahu. Yesterday, he goes, the regime in Iran is end is near. It is weak. It is fighting for its life. It is staggering. And there is still a mission to complete that we are determined to carry out. This will ultimately change the face of the Middle East and the course of history. Just stay out, man. Lebanon isn't yours. Gaza isn't yours. Palestine is yours. Stay out. Stay out. What are you doing? What the hell is going on with all these people?

17:19Ben Meiselas:Let me share with this yesterday because I want to bring attention to this that doesn't get nearly enough attention. Yesterday, Netanyahu killed a five-year-old Wafa Yusuf Akila and her father. It happened on Sunday in a drone strike on their vehicle in Western Gaza City. We were targeting Hamas. That's who we were targeting. No, you're targeting a little girl and her father. You've killed 80 ,000 people. You've injured 170 ,000 people in this genocide, and it is sick and disgusting. So while I shared with you what Iran's general is saying, Moshe Razai is saying, I showed you Hegg said, morale needs to improve.

17:59Ben Meiselas:More flyovers of Kid Rock's home. The U.S. has purged our top generals. People like Christopher Donahue, one of the U.S. Army's most combat experienced commanders, was forced out by Hegseth. Basically getting rid of the number one person on our team. Oh, well, either him or Randy George, the Army Chief of Staff who was forced out by Hegseth. But this is who the Trump regime is, folks. This is who they are. Now, I want to show you, I did a translation for all of you to see what Motion Razai said about the new secret weapon, how they did a warning shot, how they know they could kill, they wanted to, everybody aboard these aircraft carriers that are in the region.

18:45Ben Meiselas:But Iran wants to avoid escalation if it can. But I'll give you my theory, and then I'll play you the Motion Razai video. I want you to watch the full video. I believe firmly, giving you my opinion that Donald Trump wants Iran to attack the aircraft carrier. Trump believes our service members are suckers and losers. He already believes that about them. So I believe that Trump is using those ships also as bait, just sitting there. And then he can be like, ah, you see, you see Iran struck our ships. Now we need to do the ground invasion. I think he's using our aircraft carriers as bait. I think Iran knows that as well.

19:25Ben Meiselas:And I think Iran is trying to balance knowing that Donald Trump just wants to use our troops as bait. And Iran knows that America is in a dire economic situation right now with the salt cavern strategic petroleum reserves at tank bottom, with gas and diesel at all time highs. The US economy is collapsing. every day that passes, every month that passes, it will get worse. And so I think Iran's internal debate is, do we strike the aircraft carriers, which is easy? It's right there. Clearly our K-SIM missiles can hit it pretty easily. But if we do that, then that will result in maybe more US public support for the war than existed where nobody supports this thing.

20:12Ben Meiselas:So let's hold off on doing that. And let's just drag this out a little bit. And if Trump wants to post his memes, let him post his memes. Let me show you the clip of Motion Raza right now. You can see for yourself. Let's play it. For the very first time since the conclusion of the 12-day war, we have successfully managed to conduct a test of our primary anti-ship missile system targeting a United States warship just 48 hours ago. It was in every sense an absolute living hell. A ballistic missile. A special missile, let's say. A special missile. All of the warships have now fled. The incident is of such profound significance that even CENTCOM found themselves unable to deny it.

21:00They have officially admitted to it and they have brutally attacked two or three of our vessels, one of which was empty while the other two were carrying oil. We stood up and made it clear when we declared, look, you need to understand that this is the true extent of our power. So you had better behave yourself and finally grant our nation the rights it is rightfully owed. Because Mr. Khosrabi, we are fully aware that striking a warship would result in sinking two or three hundred Americans. However, they simply refuse to take our threat seriously. If you recall, I have mentioned this exact point in two or three separate interviews previously.

21:34So in order to ensure that they finally believe our threat, we decided to carry out this launch.

21:39Ben Meiselas:And then you saw that. And I'll show you this blabbering buffoon, Chris Wright, the energy secretary. He was on ABCs this week and dude was like he was asked. So should we expect there's going to be an Iran nuclear deal to ensure they're not going to get nuclear weapons? And Chris Wright says, yeah, there may not be any deal. There may not be any deal. That's how he talks. Him and Kushner, they all have that saying. Give me any deal. He's like whiny. Like, who are they? I always come back to like, who are these losers, man? Watch what Chris Wright says. Play this clip. Well, let's talk about gas prices.

22:21Right now, the average is$4.10 a gallon. A year ago, the Labor Day average was$3.16 a gallon. Diesel prices are also soaring. Just a few weeks ago, you mentioned President Trump. He dismissed the increase in gas prices as just a tiny bit. Let's play this for you. For you to pay a tiny little bit more for your gasoline, just remember you're doing it so that a very evil country cannot have, a country really is the number one state sponsor of terror in the world. We don't want to have them have a nuclear weapon. And so remember that when you have to pay a little bit more, you're at four dollars. It's OK.

23:02I mean, it's I'm not I'm not I'll never apologize. I did the right thing. OK, it's been more than six months of paying higher prices. And there is also no sign of a nuclear agreement. You talk about that, President Trump talks about that. But where's the sign that they're going to have a nuclear agreement? There may not be a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities to do it. An agreement may await a next administration in Iran. We simply don't know that. But I think what the president was communicating there is how critically important this is. If Iran has nuclear weapons, the Middle East, the world is a wildly different place than it is today.

23:46And the Trump administration, as you heard last year at Labor Day, incredibly low gas prices at the end of peak driving season. Yes, they're higher today, but we're doing everything we can to push them down. We changed refinery refinery specs recently so that American refineries can produce more gasoline and diesel. New York, Connecticut, California and other Democratic run states decided not to adopt those. Their goal is to raise energy prices. California's had that goal for quite some time. Mr. Secretary, I've got to stop you there. You said we may not get a nuclear agreement. So how do we keep them from having a nuclear weapon?

24:26Just keep bombing when they build things up? You have to destroy their capabilities to do it. They built a massive missile infrastructure to manufacture missiles, which you see them firing today, but they don't have the capability to build more missiles. We are degrading their capacity to develop nuclear weapons and ultimately to deliver them if they develop them. It is a 47-year-long effort. This is not trivial, but the United States will get the job done, and we will work in cooperation with our allies in the region. And I think you'll see countries from around the world joining this effort as well.

25:07And realistically, let's again talk about... And on a very serious note, there's a lot of lows, but a new low right here indeed. the Telegraph reporting how the Pentagon is refusing a payout for soldiers who died in the Iran conflict because Donald Trump is saying it's not a war. Grieving families are being deemed ineligible for additional benefits as U.S. strikes are viewed as non-war. This is intermittent. This is what Donald Trump says, small potatoes. The Trump regime is refusing payouts for U.S. soldiers who died in the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran because Trump says it's not a real war, per The Telegraph.

25:50Libby Kleiner, widow of 33-year-old Major Alex Kleiner, says the U.S. Air Force deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following her husband's death because Congress has not officially declared war. She says, my husband lost his life because we're in a war, and then I was told that because it's not technically a war, we lose out on something. It all comes down to principle. Horrific. Anyway, hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million. Thanks for watching, everybody. We appreciate you.
