Iran Thought Their “Negotiators” HAD WON… UNTIL B-52s ARRIVED

The U .S.military just ran out of targets in Iran.

Hey guys, good morning.For the past three nights, the United States has halted strikes against Iran.Axios reports that the top U .S.military commander in the Middle East, Admiral Brad Cooper, recommended stopping the bombing campaign around the Strait of Hormuz because it has reached the limit of its effectiveness, according to two sources.familiar with knowledge of his position.

The White House is making clear that the military option remains on the table, but officials are giving diplomacy and intense economic pressure time to work.The US naval blockade remains in effect, costing the regime hundreds of millions of dollars per day.

The US military, and I've verified this every which way, has everything that it needs to conduct this campaign as effectively as it needs to be.And I have to tell you, the people that are leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail.

And if the generals are the ones telling the president, hey, Stop bombing.It's not effective.That can only mean there's nothing left.But look at what else is going on.

Watch this.It will make a terrible mistake because our response, Israel's response, will be very, very forceful.

We're also tracking another interesting development in this conflict involving Ukraine.According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, this weekend, Ukrainian forces struck Iranian vessels that were carrying military cargo between Russia and Iran in the Caspian Sea.Zelensky posted to X saying, we also achieved very strong results with long range strikes in the Caspian Sea.

So there's a U .S.military buildup to give President Trump different options.Options that the generals do not think exist through continuing a bombing campaign which is now no longer effective because all of the targets that used to be there apparently are no longer there.or cannot be hit.

Wow, we've got a widening of this conflict with Ukraine getting drawn in, which has people asking, is something big and unexpected about to take place?Hopefully it does.Oh.in the days or weeks ahead.

they could effectively reroute Iran's oil back to the rest of the world.Yes, but deprive Iran of all of that money, sanction it, set it aside for the Iranian people, but that's only one option and this whole conflict is threatening to get a lot bigger.Watch this.

Who the rebels who are aligned with Iran claim that they have attacked two Saudi Arabian oil tankers in the Red Sea, including an attack on this ship, the Encelia.and on a second tanker, the Layla.

The operation was carried out using a number of ballistic and cruise missiles and drones.

Saudi state media confirmed the blaze on the Insilia and said there were no casualties.It did not mention the Layla.The attacks could aggravate the Iran -U .S.war and could potentially create a second choke point for shipping oil out of the peninsula.Which is what Iran wants.

Some analysts say a possible blockade there by the Houthis could be Tehran seeking leverage in the war.

Well, that's exactly what they're doing because the only leverage that they have left, it's no longer the nuclear capability they told US negotiators existed.It's no longer their depth of ballistic missiles and drones that they can threaten the world with.So what do they have left?They have the idea of sporadic attacks against innocent ships.against innocent vessels that are out there in the Strait of Hormuz and in the straits over there by the Red Sea.That's pretty much the only thing they can do now to threaten the world economy.

But as you're about to see, Iran's plans to widen this conflict might be a big mistake.Look at this.

We're trying to broker some type of end to the logjam at the Strait of Hormuz.But since we've stopped attacking over the last three days, there's been no attack on merchant ships through the Strait.So this is the end in front.Look at that.That's a good sign.The Houthis have been on the sideline.

In 2025, they've been on the sideline.Now since this war started, they've been on the sideline.They've been urged to move forward.But guess what?There are cargo planes from Iran landing in Yemen in the Houthi -controlled areas.

When do you hear about that?Two of the ships that were attacked, which is a terrible thing, were able to complete their voyage and unload their oil and there were no casualties.So, these are not the devastating attacks that the fake news likes to tell us Iran is still capable of and its militants are still capable of.Are they a threat?Yes.Is this a dangerous situation?

Yes.And what will the U .S.response be to this?

The Saudis say, okay, no problem.I'll redirect everything through 8 million barrels a day.through this straight.You shut this down, it's going to really disrupt prices.That's why it's like $90, $90 a barrel.And now that's dropped 5 % when we got up this morning.

Why?Because so far, we have not, we have not come back to fighting.Wow.What about the HMU straight?Now, last time we heard there was about three or four ships getting through at a time.But last time we also found out afterwards, before we got into the MOU, that we've been getting our own ships through the straight on the Oman side, shut the on Kuwait, by the way, has attacked back quietly.

So has the UAE attacked back in the past quietly.But what if we get them all to come in and join us?

After all, that would be a coalition, which is what the world saw in the 1990s campaign Operation Desert Storm against Saddam Hussein in Iraq, this coalition of nations.and with Iran trying to widen this conflict to other areas of the Middle East to try to pamper the economies of their neighbors, I don't see how long this unbearable situation can last.And now for a paid advertisement from RumbleWallet.one place.Rumble Wallet is a non -custodial crypto wallet, which means you, not a bank or a middleman, control everything.Setup is simple.

com slash promo official rules for details.per gallon.So let's now discuss this and where we go from here.U .S.Marine Corps veteran, Iraqi invasion commander and visiting fellow at Heritage, Colonel Mike Jernigan.

Colonel, are you pleased that after 14 straight days we have three days of no action?

Take a moment, Brian.As one of those boots on the ground in other wars, I am very thankful anytime that we have any conversation that stops fighting, whether it's temporary or whether it leads to a lasting peace.

Does it concern you how quick they armed up last time when we paused?

Yes, the Russians and the People's Republic of China are busily rearming Iran, and we're busily destroying things as they continue to get them.CENTCOM reports that we have about 20 % left of the target list that we have not yet struck from the initial target package of Urgent Fury.So we have more targets to strike, but to your point earlier, it's encouraging to see the Gulf allies beginning to get involved in this.

There could be.the coalition that is needed for the entire world to get behind this and just see a lasting operation that has a real effect and a real future deterrence attached to it.Because here's the thing, Iran, let's just say that for some reason the Gulf allies stay out of this, and this is just a U .S.-Iran type of thing.Well, that could change if the President of the United States changes, but if there's a lasting coalition in place, through the Abraham Accords, which will involve Israel, you have an alliance against aggression in the Middle East.

And if that alliance is part of the operation to end the aggression that's here, which is led by the United States now, that will survive into the future and basically ensure that Iran doesn't get back to where they were before any of this started and doesn't get back to threatening the world at all.

What's going on, do you think, General?

Well, I think there's an overture being made by Iran once again.Their primary objective here is to do what?It's to stop us from firing on them.And they're saying everything probably some of our negotiators want to hear.Likely talking to Oman and maybe the Qataris and the Pakistanis, getting them involved as well.I'm highly skeptical anything will come of it.

The Iranians look at the Straits of Hormuz as a strategic asset.And believe me, they're not going to give it up without a fight.That's that's the path we're on.And why?Because it gives them influence and control in the Middle East in a way that they never expected to have.And so will they maybe say, we'll stop firing on on you, therefore open.

We'll have negotiations.You stop firing on us.They may say that, but that doesn't mean they're not going to intimidate and coerce and control the straights.Yeah, that's that's where we are with these guys.

And that's what they were doing.during the ceasefire.What was happening here?They were supposed to open the strait.They signed this Memorandum of Understanding and they never opened the strait.And they kept threatening vessels.

They kept telling people what to do.They kept threatening them saying, oh the Iranian military says you better turn around or you better do this.They were still exerting their influence over this area and within three days they had broken the Memorandum of Understanding anyway.So if they sign anything, they're probably going to break it at some point or they will only be signing it with the intent that it gives them time to engage in something at a later date.

We'll see what comes of it.But I'm highly skeptical we're ever going to achieve anything.And look, we already know they went so far, Bill and Dana, to have their president sign a deal with our president.I know.And days later, they completely violated the deal and did not comply.Right.

With the major tenant of the MOU, which was, you represent

The idea that President Trump is being hoodwinked or something by Iran is ludicrous here.We've got a few pieces of information that we have to kind of piece together.We've got the commanders that are saying, look, this bombing campaign It has done all it can do.Why would a military commander say that if there was something for them to do?That's not a sign of weakness.That shows that a strategic objective has happened and that's why there's this ceasefire.

That's why nothing has happened.That has accomplished a whole lot.Then we hear, That there's a massive buildup of US forces in the region, and that the Gulf allies are getting very close to taking some sort of action as a coalition group.So, the stage is being set for the pieces of this puzzle that are about to happen next, which bring this whole thing to its conclusion, which is inevitable at this point.A deal?I don't think is an inevitability because every single deal gets broken and if there is a deal it has to be something that Iran agrees to and can't break because they don't have the ability to break it.

Watch this.

Iran is in a stronger position today in terms of that kind of leverage than they were before.And what is Donald Trump doing?He's doubling down on a failed war by increasing attacks this week and still has no way out of this morass.

As a military man, how do you assess that argument?

Well, that's a gross exaggeration of what the facts are.I mean, clearly, Iran's military capacity has been reduced dramatically.And we're on a pathway, I think, to returning to major combat operations.And certainly, if we're able to get back to that.it'll be quite devastating on Iran.Not only will they lose what remaining military capability they have, but they're going to lose every economic viability that they have to include their oil business and other businesses that provide an income for them.

So the general here is confirming something that's very important.We keep hearing that, okay, there's all these strikes that are happening, but there are still targets left.We had the invasion commander tell us that earlier.Those sound like they are power plants, bridges, the oil infrastructure of this country.And those are things that President Trump, in spite of how the fake news says he's a warmonger and he just wants to do things that are bad for the world and bad for the people of Iran, he has stayed away from those targets.And that's for two reasons.

The hope has been that a peaceful solution would come out of this, in spite of the fact that for 47 years, the idea of peace hasn't crossed the minds of anybody.running Iran.And the second reason is we're gonna need those things to help the people of Iran get out of this quickly.The goal of this conflict is not to have the people of Iran be worse off once it's over.This is a rescue mission.

Our plan is quite massive.It exceeds everything that we did in Epic Fury, and then some.And obviously the Israelis will participate.And let me make a, that Axios report that you cited in the introduction, that's a false report.That is not what took place at all.First of all, they're talking about munition shortages in that article, and we're saying, the military is saying, we can manage the munitions challenges that we face and we can mitigate any challenges we have by taking Iran's offensive capability away from them to retaliate if we return to major combat operations.

In that specific context, referring to the Straits of Hormuz, there was something thatin that.If we were going to go to major combat operations, we would stop the action dealing with the Straits of Hormuz and go to major combat operations, which goes way beyond the Straits of Hormuz, and in doing so would also assist any long -range fires that the Iranians had.So the guy who wrote that, he knew what he was doing.He was taking a little piece of information and making it into a falsehood.And that report has no validity whatsoever.

These senators who are supposed to be experts and are supposed to know how things work keep putting out there.That's not true at all.So this idea that Iran is stronger, the U .S.is weaker, not happening.We're not trapped in some sort of forever conflict here.

It sounds like the ability to end this is in the hands of the president, and the president has everything.ignored that ability and put it to the side in the hopes that peace would prevail.It looks like another opportunity is being offered right now for peace to prevail.Hopefully that happens.But at the same time, a large contingent of U .S.

troops are arriving in the Middle East.The Gulf allies are going to do something.Israel says they are ready to do something.What that something will be is anyone's guess, but hopefully this all ends as quickly as possible.What do you think?I'll see you in the next video.
