Things with Iran have escalated, look at this.
everything almost militarily.Ninth consecutive night of US strikes hit Iran overnight.According to CENTCOM military command centers, a variety of surveillance positions, missile and drone launching sites, along with other targets were hit.
They've got some missiles.They've got some drones.They've got some manufacturing ability, not much.We control the straight.They don't control anything.So we'll see what happens.
But we hit him very hard again tonight.
And we did that in honor of the probably three.President Trump told Fox News last week that if Iran doesn't reach a deal, strikes will escalate this week to hit power plants and bridges.Iranian officials have indicated that some new proposals are being discussed.
Proposals have been put forward by mediators.They have been conveyed to us and we have received them.But for now, allow me not to go into details.What can I confirm that?In recent days, the diplomatic apparatus has remained active and that ideas have indeed been conveyed to us by several mediators.
Now, does anybody really believe that after a 90 day ceasefire, where Iran was given a deal that many people criticized Trump for and said was just going to strengthen them, that by breaking that deal and throwing it away, that there's going to be some new negotiation that comes out of this and is somehow better for everybody?
The Iranians are saying publicly the memorandum of understanding is suspended.Regional countries are reportedly pushing for another agreement as Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated the diplomatic path forwardremains open.
I think we're always open to diplomacy.It has to be real.It has to be a deal that they're willing to live by.Look, Iran a week ago was supposed to put out a statement saying that the straits of Hormuz would be open, that they would no longer attack shipping.And instead of doing that, they attacked three ships.I think that was last Friday or Saturday.
I mean, their behavior has to change in order for ours to change.
Right, they did the opposite of what the deal they signed said.
There are reports of sirens sounding right now in Bahrain.Here in Israel, the military remains on high alert.Just yesterday, Israeli missile interceptors were fired at Iranian missile debris as Iranian missiles targeted the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba.
Now, when you see these attacks happening by Iran against Nations that have nothing to do with this conflict.You've got to understand.
This is the last piece of leverage They're still holding on to watch as you can see the number of reported and confirmed hits here right on their Iranian side of the Persian Gulf right here of the Gulf of Oman few other hits, right?Yeah across the border from Kuwait.There's one other interesting point here in the town of Tabriz.This is about 325 miles northwest of Tehran there were underground missile sites that were apparently targeted by the U .S.We'll wait to see how successful those underground might have been.
In return now, the Iranians look at this back as well.Keep in mind all the yellow dots on that map behind me.These are all U .S.military bases throughout the region from Jordan up into northern Iraq, many around the area of Kuwait, Bahrain and into the UAE.What we're hearing from Kuwait and Bahrain is that missiles were incoming.
We believe none of those missiles made much of a contact.
They want a wider range.war and just because there's a base somewhere that gives them an excuse to fire something at these countries knowing full well that these countries are not engaged in the conflict with them because they want people to be scared and they want this to beinto a wider conflict because then they can use that wider conflict to threaten the world and try to get a deal that is better than the deal they had, which was already so good.People said, oh, Trump just powered up this regime and is now going to help them stay in power forever.They want something better than that.
that was a place where unknown hit took place all over the weekend with regard to the block oh yeah it's still in place now runs roughly from this point in Oman up to the border between Iran and Pakistan with the military is telling us that there were six vessels redirected as of Sunday and one other vessel was disabled why that happens sometimes they don't pay attention instructions or obey the commands and therefore they are fired upon we do believe however that dozens of ships vessels carrying oil over the weekend and other ocean -going craft.Some of them moved through the Iranian passage, some of them went through the international passage, so a bit of a mixture here again to the Strait of Hormuz.

Get started freeSo here's where we're at right now.We've got renewed military activity by the United States and we've got the blockade that's still happening.So we have the economic pressure, which was so great, It brought Iran's negotiators to the table.They said they wanted peace.That in and of itself was something they never said they were going to ask for.We've now got that blockade back in session and new strikes targeting what the president said were military assets like power plants and bridges.
One of these apparently was an under construction nuclear power plant in Iran.So they were building a nuclear power plant.And now the entire world knows that after a 90 day ceasefire where Iran was given a too good to be true deal which wasn't good enough for them, further negotiations may not get anybody anywhere.
we could give them, when you consider we went through a ceasefire back on April the 8th, and we actually had a document the two presidents signed, the MOU, and the only agreement in the MOU, Brett, was the Straits.Right.Everything else was a promise to come.Right.And within days, they literally began to attack and take control of the Straits of Hormuz.So the president's decision, I've had it, We're going to forcibly take control of the straits is the right call.
Right.Remember, Iran was given a deal, a memorandum of understanding that said, hey, the US will end the blockade.and you will open the Strait of Hormuz.Those two things are going to happen.We'll talk about the nuclear stuff and everything else later.You don't have to agree to that now.
Just agree to this one thing and they refuse to do it.That's why when Rubio gets out there and he says, yeah, we're always open to diplomacy if it's real, he's got a point that now the rest of the world sees because what was going on, we had some people that said, hey, Trump wants a forever war.Trump doesn't want peace.He's going after Iran.Iran's out there trying to make a deal and Trump, you know, he's just, he's just out of control.Well, I mean, we've seen where these deals are getting us.
The reality is on April the 8th, we went to a ceasefire, Jackie, and we began a three month plus negotiations to achieve some kind of agreement here that made some sense to the United States.Negotiators promised promised, you know, we're reasonable.We want to coexist with you.We have to work with these hardliners.You got to help us work with the hardliners.This is the same pattern line.
So our audience understands that all the presidents have had to deal with the negotiators and diplomats are always pure, reasonable.They always want to coexist with us.And they're always working against the hardliners.That has been the pattern for decades.There's nothing new about that, although some of our negotiators being new to this think it's new.It is not new.
their pattern.And I don't think there's ever going to be a deal here that would be acceptable to President Trump, and he's obviously not going to take a bad deal at all.
Now, here's the thing.There's two schools of thought on this.One school of thought is Trump had no idea that Iran was going to behave today the same way they've been behaving for the last 47 years.The other school of thought is everyone knew this, but The world had to see it because the world doesn't understand it.There are countries out there that think this entire operation in the Strait of Hormuz is a fool's errand.Remember what the UK said.
They said, oh, this isn't our problem.Spain says, what are you doing?You can't use your bases here for this, even though Iran has weapons that they allegedly could have threatened all of Europe with.Europe are NATO ally friends.The world did not understand.that Iran was going to behave the same way that they were going to behave for the last 47 years.
That's why we had this 90 -day ceasefire, which Iran threw in the trash almost immediately.And what is their tactic here?It's good cop, bad cop.These guys you see on TV, like their president and their negotiators, they say, oh, help us.We need help.We need you to help us negotiate with people on the inside who we're scared of and afraid of and who are actually the ones in charge.
And we want what you want.Just help us out.And then the negotiations fall apart.That's been their tactic, this good cop, bad cop type of thing.And now for a paid advertisement from Rumble Wallet.Quick question.

Iran promised the negotiators X, Y, and Z, and they broke those promises.Then their president, on June the 17th, signed the very deal that President Trump did.And three days later, they violated that deal over the Straits of Hormuz.Why?The Straits of Hormuz, in Iran's terms now, is their number one strategic asset.It exceeded their expectation that the success they had, because not only did it affect behavior in the region, it affected the economy worldwide.
They believe it gives them huge leverage.They no longer have a nuclear enterprise that's buried under a mountain of rubble, most of it, to use as leverage.And so this is something they do not want to give up with and that is why they broke the deal.

Get started freeAnd the world needed to see that.I am firmly convinced that the United States, with the best intelligence in the entire world, a military machine that eclipses all other military machines on the entire planet, eyes and ears in the sky, on the ground, inside the secret meetings of these people did not know that they were going to behave exactly the same way.There's no way that's true.is where we were headed.And Trump needed to show two things with this long negotiation.The first thing that happened, remember, the gas prices went way down.
You remember that during the ceasefire?Gas prices went down, stock market went up.That proved right there that once this conflict ends, the whole thing is going to be over quick.We are not going to have a worldwide economy that is in the tank.That's the first thing we learned.And the second thing is obviously the behavior here was put on display for everyone.
Now, there's no denying that when these guys get out there and they say they want a deal, like what kind of new deal do they want?All they were supposed to do was agree to talk about maybe make an agreement later in the future, and they said that's not good enough.
And because they were not going to put up with the fact that the straits were going to be open, and they would not have any leverage going forward.That is where we are.We're back in combat operations.We're attempting to clear, secure, and open the straits.We're reducing their capability to influence them, and also reducing their capability to retaliate against our bases in the region and the Gulf nations.I have some concerns.
about this going forward, to be frank, I don't share the view that this strengthens the resolve of the Gulf states.I think we have seen twice since we went to a ceasefire, once when we were trying to operate prior to that, Project Freedom, and put that in place, it was the Gulf states led by Saudi Arabia that told us not to do it, to stop it.And they took our air base away from us on our airspace.And what did we do?We stopped it.It's an open secret.
A few weeks ago, President Trump was getting ready to go back to major combat operations.And the Gulf states called again and told him not to do it.Let's work some kind of a deal.The Pakistanis and the Qataris are hopeful this is going to happen.
long ceasefire.There were many parties.many stakeholders in this, some of whom are neighbors with Iran that perhaps thought for some reason, Yeah, this is all going to be different.You have these negotiators in Pakistan saying, oh yeah, this time it's going to be different.Oh yeah, come over here.Remember there was that guy, that general that got out there and he was some mediator and that's what got us to the memorandum of understanding which lasted three days and Iran was given multiple opportunities to abide by and broke every single time.
I mean, these are the negotiators out there that are believing the good cop and bad cop scenario.I don't think for a second that it's the United States.I think that the United States has known full well what the mission is here and what this was likely going to play out as.It's just the rest of the world and our partners in the region have been somewhat confused about where this will lead.But now everybody knows.
Is diplomacy in this environment, where you have two sides, one that's talking to us and Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff, and one that's firing and pushing the buttons on the ground, is it possible even in that dichotomy?
This is a mirage that they are so successful at creating.And they've done it.It began with Jimmy Carter, all through Reagan, all the way up to the current administration.And their narrative is simply this.They create a narrative that we are the diplomats and we're more moderate than the hardliners who are running the regime.And you've got to help us.
motivate and change the hard line or so on.And we do.This is the key point.We want to coexist with you.So let us work this together.And every negotiating team believes, wow, we're dealing with people are much more resilient.
than we've dealt with in the past.We're going back decades.We're going back to Jimmy Carter, who extended a hand to the regime that just took over.He stiffed the shah, and then they stormed our embassy.We're going back to Ronald Reagan.When they released the hostages on the day of his inauguration, he and his team thought, well, we're going to be able to work with the Iranians.
They blew up two embassies and blew up our barracks.The list goes on and on and on.These moderates, who they believe are reasonable, report to the guys that are running the regime.They are as committed to the goals of the regime as the so -called Heinleiners.There's just one.And we've got to understand this.
And every new administration has to find out this awful truth.And the president knows it.Oh, these guys are crazy.They lie.They cheat.
Trump has said that so many times.He said that while going through the ceasefire that everybody knew was going to fall apart.But during that ceasefire, what happened?Trump wants to go back to combat operations.Some of our Gulf allies say, hey, not so fast.Maybe we can work something out here.
Hey, they want to negotiate.They say they want a deal.I was just on the phone with them.They say they want peace.They say they want to coexist.They say this time is different.
And remember, these are the nations that are defenseless in the face of aggression from Iran without help from the United States.If the United States pulls another Vietnam and abandons its commitments like we made to the South, the whole thing is going to collapse.So this likely means there will be U .S.presence in the Middle East for quite some time, which is why when the President, President Trump, gets out and says, you know, we're going to take over the Strait of Hormuz and make sure it stays safe and stays open, he's probably not wrong in suggesting that that is the only logical course of action.
And that is the truth of it.Even though they're sophisticated diplomats, they appear urbane and they appear to be very reasonable, and just help us work with the hardliners.That's their job.

Get started freeLast thing, General, the end game here, because there's a lot of people in America who want to see this come to an end.They obviously want to see gas prices go down.Everyone wants this over.Politically, the president and his party would like to see that before the midterms.Does this come to an end or are we talking about this a year from now?
We should not.When we stopped on April the 8th, we had in the minds of both military commanders on the IDF and CENTCOM, we had about two weeks to finish it.And that's still out there.I think the sooner we finish it, the sooner we end the problem with oil prices and the rest of it.The longer we drag this out, the longer you have that problem existing.I'm not minimizing a problem.
I think, listen, Political objectives economic objectives are real issues.Every president has to contend with them and how you balance that against military Objectives and dealing with this regime is the president's decision and I respect that decision But there is a means here we can finish these guys and put them in a in a place where they're on the pathway to Collapse and I think we're on the pathway now Wow general as always we're on the pathway to to a regime that cannot sustain itself and collapses.
Why can it not sustain itself?Well, we've got the blockade.Why can it not sustain itself?Well, nobody's buying their oil even when they tried to sell it during the ceasefire and all their neighbors are doing things like creating pipelines and trying to figure out ways around this trade war moves and the world economy is coming over to the United States and Venezuela and Guyana to get that oil now.So things are changing.At the exact same time, what do you need to be a regime?
You need a massive military capability that terrifies your neighbors and the people within your country.Well, that military machine is going away too.It's being depleted.It's not gonna last.It's not gonna be around.And since that's been the thing that for 47 years,
has kept the Iranian people as hostages in their own country, once it's gone, freedom and light are at the end of the tunnel for them as well.What do you think about that?I'll see you in the next video.
