1:53Ben Meiselas:Donald Trump has been panicking all day as he can't escape his catastrophic war in Iran. Nobody's there to bail him out. He was wandering around his Trump National Golf Club in Virginia yesterday where he grifts off of the taxpayers. You see him right there as he was screaming praise be to Allah on his social media accounts while demanding that Iran open up the effing strait, although Donald Trump previously said the strait of Hormuz doesn't matter to him, doesn't matter to the United States. Now, Iran consistently has been rejecting Donald Trump, Steve Whitcoff, Jared Kushner, and other in the Trump regime's efforts to try to negotiate a ceasefire, Iran has made it clear we want long-term security guarantees, which means security guarantees for Iran, the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Lebanon, Iran's Shiite proxies in Iraq, guarantees that there will never be attacks again, that there will be full reparations for Iran for the war that took place, and that Iran will keep its ballistic missile Shahid drone as well as FPV drones and keep control of the Strait of Hormuz.

3:09Ben Meiselas:Iran has said that is it's non-negotiables. Don't negotiate with us unless you agree to those threshold matters. Now, once again, Iran says we are rejecting any proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a temporary ceasefire. Iran says it is open. It's open to our allies and it's open to other countries that negotiate bilaterally with us. Iran has rejected these overtures from Turkey, Egypt, and Pakistan, who have been sent to try to negotiate with Iran by Steve Whitcoff, Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump. And Iran says, no, we're not interested in doing any negotiations. The various Iranian social media accounts, like this Iranian social media account from Lebanon, writes, The Strait of Hormuz is not going to open.

3:58Ben Meiselas:Buy oil, sell your stocks. Praise be to Allah, mocking Donald Trump's post where he said yesterday morning, Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah, Donald J. Trump. And then Donald Trump goes Tuesday, 8 p.m. Eastern time. Once again, Donald Trump moving the deadline, which is supposed to be today, 10, 15 Eastern time, where Donald Trump says, hell will rain down on them if they don't agree to do negotiations with us. And Donald Trump now has moved that to Tuesday at 8 p.m.

4:33Ben Meiselas:Eastern time. So what was happening yesterday as it was clear that Iran was not going to negotiate a ceasefire with Donald Trump, and Iran has made it clear it will never give up its now firm control over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran, Oman, they're setting up a tolling system to charge ships,$1,$2,$3 per barrel of oil, millions of dollars, you know, essentially per ship to pass. What happened when it was announced? Negotiations aren't going anywhere. Well, oil prices crossed above$115 per barrel. You see it right there. The S &P was crashing. NASDAQ was crashing. Dow Jones was crashing. Gold was crashing.

5:15Ben Meiselas:And so what did Donald Trump have to do? Well, he immediately ran to Barack Ravid, the propagandist, in my opinion, at Axios, who's been wrong about everything since Since this war has begun, he's got his top U.S. officials tell me and he just spews a bunch of B.S., manipulates the markets. And I just think that everybody in the Trump regime with their right wing oligarch buds are involved in just this constant Ponzi scheme on the market with news like this. So Axios reports the U.S., Iran and a group of mediators are discussing terms for a potential 45 day ceasefire. Sources said the chances for a deal in the next 48 hours are slim, but the last ditch effort is the only chance to prevent a rapid or dramatic war escalation.

6:01Ben Meiselas:What does that even mean? It's slim. You're just making this up again. You're making this up over and over again. I mean, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy Command writes, Strait of Hormuz will never return to normal, especially for the U.S. and Israel. We're preparing to take it forever. It belongs to us. It was the Wall Street Journal reported how these regional countries, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, were trying to bring Iran to negotiations with the U.S. to stop the war, secure a temporary ceasefire, but efforts have stalled. Iran has rejected the proposals, including one to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a ceasefire and declined even meeting U.S.

6:39Ben Meiselas:officials. Iran does not want a ceasefire. They realize that if there's a temporary period where the parties are not involved in the war, that Trump will just use it and Netanyahu will use it to rebuild the munitions which are running out and they will not use it in good faith to negotiate long term peace. And so Iran's like, give us a long-term peace deal that includes our non-negotiables. And we're happy to have a conversation. But if it doesn't include the non-negotiables, we control the straight-up removes. We keep our ballistic missiles and Shahid drones. We may even want to build nuclear weapons in the future.

7:15Ben Meiselas:We want full reparations for the war and long-term security guarantees for us and all of our proxy groups in the region. Without that, we don't want to even talk to you. We don't trust Witkoff. We don't trust Kushner. were certainly not speaking to them. So this idea that Witkoff and Kushner are the ones negotiating this after what took place in late February, right before Trump did this unlawful war in Iran, it's just not happening. It's just BS. And it pisses me off that consistently this propaganda keeps on being spewed over and over again. Just look what's happening last night in Tehran, right?

7:52Ben Meiselas:Here's footage, show you the B-roll right here, of U.S.-Israeli airstrikes hitting central Tehran. You see it right there? That's mediations are taking place. Good faith negotiations are taking place. Come on, give me a break. While that was happening in Tehran, here's footage of Iranian ballistic missiles re-entering over Israel last night. You see it right there. And folks, one of the things we're learning more about too was this rescue operation for that F-15E, purportedly a colonel, although we need more information about who this individual was, who was rescued by our special forces. It's a good thing that this F-15E crew member was rescued.

8:35Ben Meiselas:A lot of the story in the background, we need to learn more about. I think we should look at it critically, especially knowing that the Trump regime lies about everything. There were hundreds of special forces who created a forward operating base right next to Isfahan, the area where Iran had its nuclear facility. And there were two of these big transport jets, these two C-130 Hercules that were involved in it, and they had to be blown up. And then two MQ-9 Reapers had to be. The U.S. says that they blew up their own C-130 Hercules and that it wasn't Iran that hit them. Two MQ-9 Reapers were blown up.

9:18Ben Meiselas:Two MH-6 Little Birds were destroyed. Previously, these two HH-60 helicopters were hit. This F-15E was hit as well. I mean, you're talking about one, three, five, seven, nine, like 11 aircraft in this one operation basically have been destroyed. What are we talking about? $500 million,$600 million. I'm glad this crew member was saved, but I want to know if there was a broader special operations mission taking place near the Isfahan nuclear facility. Was there something else taking place? We know that Planet Labs, which is basically one of the best, if not the best, commercial satellite company that shows a lot of those overhead world images.

9:59Ben Meiselas:they've been asked by the trump they've been demanded by the trump regime the department of defense to basically not produce any of their satellite imagery without the consent of the united states government i'll show you right here iran's foreign ministry uh spokesperson over here here's what he had to say about everything yesterday and again it's in english let's play this clip would be one of reciprocating any such attack. Our armed forces have made it clear that in case Iran's infrastructure is attacked, we would react in kind. They would, our armed forces, would target any similar infrastructure that is owned or in any way or manner related to the United States or contributes to their act of aggression against Iran.

10:59This is not something that we will do it voluntarily or by willful decision. This is something that is as part of our defense measures against their illegal act. I guess the American people have come to understand that this is not their war. This is a war of choice by the United States administrations, perhaps on behalf of a genocidal regime.

11:32Ben Meiselas:And again, if you want to look at the social media accounts from Iran, this is the embassy of Iran in Bulgaria. And it says Trump right now, I can't breathe with his neck basically caught in the Strait of Hormuz, for those on video who were able to watch it. And then yesterday, Donald Trump was frantically calling all different reporters. He called Axios. He called Rachel Scott. He was calling News Nation. And what he told Rachel Scott is that very little will be off the table if Iran refuses to negotiate. She goes, spoke with Trump. He told me the conflict should be over in days, not weeks. But if no deal is made, he's blowing up the whole country with very little off the table.

12:11Ben Meiselas:Blowing up the whole country with very little off the table sounds like the use of nuclear weapons. I'm not suggesting that that's being said, but obviously, in my opinion, that's the implication. I'm blowing up the whole country. And you think that's a good way to negotiate? If it happens, it happens. And if it doesn't, we're blowing up the whole country, Trump told me. I asked if there's anything off limits. Very little, he said. And again, what do you think that implication is? I asked Trump if his two to three weeks timeline still holds. It should be days, not weeks. It should be wrapped up in the days because no sane group of people could stand the punishment that's going to rain down on them.

12:48Ben Meiselas:He told me he doesn't think American troops on the ground will be necessary. I don't think it's necessary, but I don't rule anything out. When I asked the president about his comments to Fox that there could be a deal tomorrow, which is today, he said he didn't know if there would be, saying, I have no idea what these people. There could be a deal and there could also not be a deal. I don't know. I have no idea what these people. They're getting the shit beat out of them. And that's all I can tell you. There's been no country that's ever taken a pounding like this. The president tells me he was testing NATO.

13:16Ben Meiselas:This was a test for NATO. I don't need them, but I wanted to test them. I said, I'd love to have you guys get involved. And they said, well, we can't do it. I said, oh, that's okay. I don't even give him a hard sell. They'd probably said, oh, he's a terrible salesman because all I did say, love to have you be involved. When I asked the president about his comments, then he goes on to say, I asked if the president, if he would move back his deadline for Iran. He said, I don't want to talk about it. They have plenty of time to make a deal. If they don't want to make a deal, their whole country is gone.

13:46Ben Meiselas:Okay, well, he's already moved back the deadline. I do want to share this as well because while Donald Trump was cursing and saying, open up the effing straight, praise be to Allah on Easter, Pope Leo XIV had a very powerful message on Easter Sunday. Let those who have weapons lay them down. Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace. And about a week ago, he said, Jesus is the king of peace who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but those who reject them. Even though you make many prayers, God will not listen.

14:23Ben Meiselas:Your hands are full of blood, is what he said. Now, I'll just point out what the main spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps said as well a little bit earlier. He goes, the scandal that has befallen the beleaguered American president and his defeated army cannot be repaired through hollow statements or media warfare or psychological operations. There's no doubt that all these victories and achievements for dear Iran have come under special divine care. And we are certain that the divine promise of achieving the final victory for the front of truth over falsehood would be fulfilled.

14:59Ben Meiselas:And victory is not but from Allah, the exalted, mighty, and the wise. So you tell me if you think that there are productive negotiations taking place, or if this is obviously more market manipulation that's been taking place. And with each one of these just bogus market manipulations, oh, we're doing this fake deal, we're doing that deal, we're doing this deal. The long-term damage this causes the United States, this is a humiliation ritual that the United States is being put through right now by Donald Trump. I don't know how anybody can not be embarrassed and ashamed by this. I don't know how anybody looks at this pathetic, vile piece of trash in the White House while he rants and raves like a freaking lunatic saying, praise be to Allah, open up the effing straight.

15:48Ben Meiselas:Oh, and then he previously said, we don't need the straight. We don't. Why would we need it? We have all the oil. Then open up the effing straight. He's a maniac. He's a lunatic. There's nothing normal about this. Call it out with moral clarity. He's a criminal. He's a felon. He's an adjudicated sexual predator. That's who he is. He was found civilly liable for sexual assault. Call out this disgusting piece of filth with moral clarity. America deserves it. Future generations deserve it. Thanks for watching.
