Iran's Generals Declare "ETERNAL VICTORY"... Then Trump WIPES THEM OUT
The conflict with Iran just entered a new phase.Look at this.
The U .S.will lean on economic pressure after we showcased our military strength against the regime.Now as Tehran presses for concessions, some lawmakers say our tactics are working when it comes to reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
OK.What you see now is an act of desperation, I think, because President Trump had prepared to unleash unmitigated fury on Iran just the past weekend when they came to the table again and said, no, we want to make a deal.
However, Iran is now demanding major concessions to reopen the waterway, raising the question, does Tehran have the upper hand or is it overplaying it?
Oh, there is no question that Iran is in the desperate position.The IRGC would love to make some money off the straight.but it's just not gonna happen.Thanks to the US Navy.President Trump is able to sit back and take his time and basically ignore all these demands.And the reason is, as J .
D.Vance hinted over the weekend, there is oil coming out of the strait through pipelines and also through dark transits and ship to ship transfers.Those international mariners are a pretty clever bunch and there is quite a bit coming out.And that's why we hear this talk about oil continuing to flow.So Iran is never going to have leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.
And, as you're about to see there, neighbors are making sure of that.
Look at this.Some have speculated the Strait will never go back to being the way it was before.
What would you say?I would say, I would take, I think they're saying that in a doomsday sort of way.I would say it in another way.The Strait is never going back to the way it was because the Iranians have used or tried to use it as a choke point, what we are going to see over the next two years, the strait's going to become irrelevant.It is going to become just another body of water and I would say that more than 50 or 70 percentthe energy that moves through the strait now is going to go through underground pipelines.
Like this one being built by Saudi Arabia.Or this new deal Chevron just inked with Iraq to bypass the trade of Hormuz entirely.This whole area of the world is now irrelevant, which means Iran has less leverage every single day, which is why they're now begging for the deal that they signed and then immediately violated just a few weeks ago.Look at this.
U .S.halting military action against Iran and its regional proxies and allies, as well as withdrawing the naval blockades that the U .S.has got in force there, as well as the air forces that have been involved in the thwarting of various attacks by Iran, but also, of course, being used to bomb Iran as well in the past.They also are demanding compensation for damage caused in this conflict as well as the lifting of sanctions and the unfreezing of Iranian assets.
How is that different than the deal they were asking for, which they had during the memorandum of understanding, which would have led to sanctions relief and would have led to all of these things if they abided by the things that they immediately agreed to.Also, while I'm making this, Trump is out there tweeting that he's going to seek reparations from Iran for all the damage that they've done in the Middle East.So he's turned that around on them, in addition to now the blockade pressure, which isn't going away and is having an effect every single day.
demands which include billions of dollars in sanction relief, even war reparations they're calling for.And U .S.troops withdrawing from the region and ending the naval blockade.What did you think of that over the weekend as the regime laid out their naval blockade?
Oh, Iran's demands are completely unreasonable.And they really show that the IRGC is out of options.All they can do now is these occasional terroristic -like attacks towards international shipping and towards U .S.bases.But remember, we still have 50 ,000 U .
S.service members there, two aircraft carriers, the amphibious ship Boxer, destroyers, you know, the list goes on.Our Space Force watching all that as well.You know, the alarming point to me is what becomes of the nuclear dust.But let's remember, we have extremely good overwatch of that area and we have ended Iran's ability to enrich and that path to a nuclear weapon.Iran responds to U .
S.military pressure and Admiral Cooper will keep that pressure on.
as long as he needs to.money.They want to either toll ships or get some sort of breakthrough financially.They need something to keep going because the economic blockade against their country is doing its thing.It's been doing its thing this entire time.This is the peaceful part of this whole operation that gets zero attention because it's working so well.
It blows up the narrative that Iran has leverage.They don't.Every day they lose it and every day they go more and more bankrupt.

Get started freeLook at this.Operation Economic Fury led by Secretary Scott Besant is devastating.there's no money because this is.a corrupt elite regime.that has devastated that country for many, many decades.They are constantly asking for access to cash, access to their assets that we've frozen.
And what the president is talking about is that's the squeeze.That coupled with the blockade, that's what's going to eventually get the Iranians to move.
And that's why it's all that they're talking about.And this ploy that they've got where they're coming out and they're saying they want reparations.I mean, give me a break.They're the ones that every time there's some sort of issue with the United States, fire on their neighbors who aren't even involved in this.Their neighbors are the ones who should be asking for war damages, not them.And here's the other part of this.
What regime in world history has survived hyperinflation?Zero.There are no regimes that have survived hyperinflation.That collapses all regimes and the writing is on the wall here for a peaceful transition of power.And this is the one thing that nobody wants to see happen because it means Trump was right.Stopping them from getting a nuclear weapon was the right decision.
And this economic blockade, which temporarily led to higher oil prices, also a good decision.Speaking of which, $78 a barrel was Friday.That's where it was.a month ago.So where are these high oil prices?It was supposed to be over $100 a barrel.
We were supposed to think that Joe Biden's oil problem where he drained our strategic reserve was nothing compared to what Trump got us into.But that didn't happen either.But here's where things get really challenging.
leading to unrest within Iran.Is there even a chance of that happening?Domestic unrest with the control that the regime has over its people?
I sure would love to see that and we know that theIRGC really is weakened.Remember, they're not just a military force.They're in business as well.So the blockade, the steel wall, the sanctions that the Treasury Department has put on them, all the other economic pressure really does have a direct effect in the end on the IRGC as well.That's a really huge element.
The other reason we can do this is because of the level of air and sea dominance and the strikes a few weeks ago that cleaned up a lot of the IRGC activity along the coast are there.Now, there's always the option to go in big if necessary.But right now, President Trump wants to see that economic pressure play out.And because oil markets are flowing, not to the extent we want to see, but the oil markets are moving.We do have some ships coming out of Hormuz, oil coming through that.He's got the ability to play both the economic and the military at the same time.
And it's a good position, a strong position for the USA.
What have we been hearing?We've been hearing that Iran is stronger than they've ever been.That's the narrative of the fake news that want to see America fail and want to spin this whole thing as just some sort of external disaster that's going to wipe out Trump when really the opposite of that is happening.Wipe out Trump when really the opposite of that is happening.A couple of weeks ago, combat operations resumed in this tit -for -tat.Iranian troops were firing at ships that were firing at their neighbors.
The U .S.took action against that and now that's over.You haven't heard about any of that happening over the last week.So we have the claims that they control the state of Hormuz but then we have the reality that all is quiet on the Western front.There is not a lot going on in the Strait of Hormuz.
It's very quiet.There's very little aggression.The ability to always attack something or launch something always exists, but they have been diminished in their capability to be a militant aggressor that does the thing we're being told.We're being told, oh, now they know they can threaten the world economy.Well, with what?And when are they doing that?
that?Now they're just asking for money.But just before we continue, this is a paid advertisement for Rumble Wallet, who's sponsoring this portion of the show.What if your bank told you no to your own money?Delayed transfers, frozen accounts, unexpected limits.It happens more often than you think.

com slash promo official rules for details.for us to be happy, for us to feel like we've gotten what we need out of this particular pandemic.that is still to be determined, but I do think that we've made some progress over the last few days.
What that reveals by saying, is it possible for their system to give us what we need.What the vice president is basically revealing here is that their system can't do that.They're never going to be able to 100 % guarantee that they're not going to do any more attacks, that they're not going to engage in any more hostile behavior because this is just the way that their system operates.So what does that mean?That means the economic blockade is going to stay in place.This whole siege warfare thing, this economic siege of the country, that's not going away.
The US troops are going to have to stay there.Iran is basically going to force this economic tightening upon itself and As that happens, it's going to do its thing and it's going to eliminate all of the businesses that the IRGC is involved in.It's going to eliminate their ability to pay their troops.It's going to eliminate their ability to even be a regime because they're going to need money and they've got hyperinflation going on.Does hyperinflation work as fast as maybe you or I watching this might want?Not necessarily, but this might bring things about in a more peaceful way than any of us expected.
Especially not in a way the Iranian regime expects because as you're about to see, they're basically declaring declaring total victory at this point.
sure that we get the best outcome for the American people.
at put economic pressure on them as well.So we've been at this for four months over the Straits of Hormuz, applying economic pressure, and now we're in a diplomatic phase with them with two issues on the table.Straits of Hormuz opening up, and also the nuclear enterprise, and that's being kicked down the road for negotiations.I think At times we underestimate where the Iranians really are in terms of where their head is.We have a tendency to look at them... in terms of what is the impact of the blockade doing to the economy?How much money are they losing every single day, every single month?
Where is their currency in terms of its value?What's their inflation rate?These are all norms that we look at ourselves.And we look at them and say, my, this is absolutely devastating to them.At some point, you know, they're going to fold their hand.But you've got to understand where this regime is really coming from, the people who are running it.
They have an ideology that they're holding to.They absolutely believe right now that they have the upper hand.I know there's people that don't want to admit that, but that's where the Iranians are.I'm not saying that's where they are.I don't believe it myself.
And as far as the Vice President says, it's okay if they believe that, because the U .S.has done what?We've accomplished our primary goal already, which is that they will never have a nuclear weapon.The second thing that we all want to see is peace and a rescue of the Iranian people from this nuclear war.issue that's been plaguing them for 47 years, this government that has stolen their country and is essentially holding them hostage within it.
Now, if Iran thinks they're winning,what does winning mean to them?It means being a regime on top of a country that they've stolen.To them, that is winning.Do they have the upper hand over the United States?Do they think that they have that?
Can they logically think that?I don't know how they logically think that when oil still gets out.But they think this gives them enormous leverage over our political system in America during a massive election where communism versus capitalism is the battle Americans are going to decide.
Amuse is a strategic asset and they are not going to bargain that way.Even if they gave in to the concessions we want them to make over the straits, we already have evidence that they won't comply with it because two presidents signed the deal and days later the Iranians didn't comply with it.So where they are, they will not give up the straits of Amuse.unless we take it back by force.No amount of economic pressure on them I think will bend them to do that.They don't care about the economic peril that their people are suffering from.
That's the reality of what we're facing.And here's the other thing that's going to happen.As we get closer to the midterms, the Iranians, you can see how more aggressive they're becoming in their diplomatic ass of us.Almost asking us to surrender, in a sense.The second thing is, they're going to get more violent.Because as we get closer to the midterms, they want to create a volatile situation that demonstrates that the administration is not managing the war properly.
so that that will impact them in the midterm elections.The Iranians have always, multiple administrations, been tuned in to what is happening in America, where is our political resolve.They focus a lot on our people to understand where the American people are.truly is.
What could be happening here is we could be seeing a lull and we could be seeing this blockade from the Trump administration and Iran's demands for money.We could be seeing all of this as a sort of impasse that allows them to marshal their forces and prepare for something that happens, let's say, in September.or in October, to give them a coordinated propaganda pressure campaign that's not real and not sustainable, but makes it look like Trump has been totally defeated here and has zero plan, which his political opponents are gonna run with.But, on the other end of that, you have this.Listen.
So, I think their pathway forward, very aggressive diplomatically, they're gonna get very aggressive violently as well.Now, President Trump has all the options in his hands.He can take big military action anytime he wants to, to shut these guys down.He can do it over a period of days.He can do it in less time than that.He has huge options.
He's very much aware of all of that.And we'll see what takes place.I do believe in my own mind that the only way that Iran will meet our demands is we have to force them.Wow.

Get started freeSo there are questions about our ability to do that militarily.You've certainly read all of these stories about missiles, about what's being perhaps poached from the Asian and Russian and all of the other places that we have very serious military concerns.What's your reaction to that?What do you say to that?
Are they going to rebuild?What's happening?
Well, I do have some knowledge and I am absolutely confident that the United States has a greater capability now than we had when we began the war on February the 28th.We've moved more assets into the region.We have more offensive capability.We have strengthened the defensive capability.out there.Our allies in the region that Iran would want to retaliate against in terms of their oil and gas infrastructure, I mean, the truth be known, the Saudis and the UAE have more Patriot batteries in their country than we have protecting our people in the Middle East, to give you a sense of the scale of what they have.
Admiral Cooper is visiting all these countries, and if they need to be strengthened, he's willing to help them, just like we have been helping the Israelis.The Israelis came to us before the 12 -Day War and said, we need your help to help us defend against Iranian missile salvos.And we have, and quite effectively.
So what is the breakdown here?The breakdown here is Iran thinks they're winning.in their own minds.They think they can manipulate the U .S.political system to their advantage, which is something they've done in the past.
They're likely going to try and do that.There's likely going to be a power play on their end heading into the midterm elections, as the general just said, along with increased diplomatic demands for things like war reparations.At the exact same time, the reality is all of the countries around Iran have been strengthened with the help of the United States.They are well defended.There are Patriot missile batteries over there to knock down incoming attacks if those happen and the United States has more forces in the region than ever before while there is this coalition of the willing emerging between the Gulf allies and Israel and the United States to end this aggression from Iran once and for all with a military deterrent.But the big question here now is what will President Trump do?
Right now this state of flux saying that the economic blockade is going to do its thing While Iran may or may not be trying to get more weapons from other countries that might be supplying them, might be trying to rebuild domestically, where is that going to lead?Is that going to lead to something big happening in the near future?What will theUS response to that be?Is the president going to let things get that far?He said multiple times.
that certain civilian infrastructure that is used by the regime like bridges and power plants are on the table.We know where all those are.We haven't forgotten where they are.You can't hide something like that.He said he doesn't want to go after that stuff.Will the regime force his hand?
The general here seems to think that that's what their plan is and the vice president seems to think that Iran's system, which is this, this hostility that never ends, won't allow them to ever agree to anything.So are they on the same page?What do you think?I'll see you in the next video.
