1:54and Tax Act respects you. Tax Act, let's get them over with. 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 not 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.

2:40And 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 U.S. 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 apologized to nations, which they were specifically seemed to be talking about Turkey and Azerbaijan and saying, you know, we apologize for striking you.

3:24But if you strike us or if you allow the U.S. to use your bases, we're going to 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. OK, 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 talk for a second that Steve Whitcoff 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.

4:07But I digress. The foreign minister of Iran put out the following statement. Foreign Minister Arachi, he says, President Pazeskian, 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 Pazeshkian's openness to de-escalation, again, President of Iran's openness to de-escalate 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.

5:04If 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 U.S. administration. Mr. Trump's week-long misadventure has already cost the U.S. 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 U.S., determined that war in Iran is destined to fail.

5:48I 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.

6:29Is 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, 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.

7:15At 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, decimated it. I'm going to 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 Aragchi. He says, the U.S. committed a blatant and desperate crime by attacking a freshwater desalination plant on the Keshem Island. Water supply in 30 villages has been impacted. Attacking Iran's infrastructure is a dangerous move with grave consequences.

8:01The U.S. set this precedent, not Iran. So what went down yesterday after Iran was speaking to other Middle East nations saying, all right, let's deescalate 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 50 % of Iran's energy in major, a major escalation.

8:48And 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 Sharon Oil Depot, completely consumed by massive blazes. And then it almost created like a river path because the oil was 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 deescalate 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.

9:54And 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, 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, right? They had an 85-year-old Ayatollah, right? Now the people in the Islamic Republic 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.

10:42So this idea that he is causing the Iranian people to somehow be, you know, wanting to overthrow the Islamic, 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 is 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.

11:26It's counterproductive as well. So now the threats against Donald Trump's life as well. The Iranian national security leader, this guy, Larajani, who I've been covering before, Ali Larajani. He goes, we're not going to 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 is the words that Larajani 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.

12:12This isn't a simple matter. We won't let it go until we retaliate in kind. So let me show you what Lara Jani just said in an interview. We translated this using AIs, but it's an accurate translation. I want you to hear what Lara Jani said here. Lara Jani talks about retaliating against Trump, but 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 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.

12:53He 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 Lara Jani 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.

13:42But 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. And then finally, here's what Lara Jani says as well. Let's play this third clip of Lara Jani right here. Let's play it. Yes, we have suffered significant economic blows and their bombardments have been very heavy.

14:26But 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.

15:01In 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 Qatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Headquarters spokesperson says, We welcome the United States escorting oil tankers through the Strait of Hermoz, 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.

15:43This warning comes as now Trump is floating the idea of doing U.S. naval escorts for oil tankers that are basically trapped and can't get out of the Strait of Hormuz at this point based on the war that the U.S. 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 is 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 boats are like, we aren't leaving.

16:21Even if you were to give us insurance, we're not going to die to go through the Strait of Hormuz. Sorry there. So the Trump person is like, let's give you naval escorts. And now the Iranian leadership is saying, OK, 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 Larajani saying, here's all the things he's going to do to Trump. Iran is being bombed again. You look at just some of these massive explosions, these mushroom clouds rising as U.S. and Israel continues to bombard Iran with missile strike after missile strike.

17:01You 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 for 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.

17:43And then U.S. 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 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, Because, you know, Qatar, its main city, Doha, they have to advertise to the world that they're a safe place for investment.

18:44They'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 and 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.

19:29He screwed you over, bankrupted his thing, bankrupting you. That's what Donald Trump does. And so, yeah, the emir 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.

20:17And 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.

20:42as i mentioned two fuel depots at the kuwaiti international airport came under drone attack causing massive fires in them um you had the kuwait petroleum corporation announcing that in light of ongoing aggression by iran against kuwait um that ships through the strait of amuse 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.

21:41And the price of oil is so expensive right now that this is a massive, massive win for Russia. They're going to take that money that Russia is 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.

22:22But just look at it. the price of gas rose immediately. And with all of this taking place, you have the top U.S. officials going on TV. Just watch this. Going on state regime media the other day and now saying U.S. 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 clip. 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.
