further escalating the catastrophic war in Iran that Trump and Netanyahu launched over six months ago also Iran's senior military leadership also announced a new plan that it will be rolling out in response to Donald Trump's escalation. Not only has Iran been able to already match Donald Trump's escalation that began last week. The Trump regime struck the coastal areas of Iran, Trump killed people who were attending a wedding in Syrac, Iran responded right away,

striking U.S. military bases in the region. Then the Trump regime said that Iran was trying to strike some of the U.S. aircraft carriers and ships in the region, which Iran said,

"Nope, we were just firing a warning shot to show you the secret weapon that we now have,

and if we want to be able to strike the aircraft carrier or some of these ships in the region, we can very easily do that, but we want to make sure we give you all the warning possible because if we hit one of your ships, it's going to result in hundreds of U.S. service members killed in response to that rather than the Trump regime saying, "All right, well, we're going to leave or we're going to strike military targets," the Trump regime struck three oil tankers,

belonging to Iran, one was empty, to had oil aboard the tankers, and then Iran responded by shooting six ships in the straight of Hormuz, the Kepler data Kepler's a group that monitors shipping data throughout the world, or shipping routes throughout the world. They're saying now that it's really only a few ships that are getting in and out of the straight of Hormuz,

and when Donald Trump claims 18 million barrels are leaving each day through the straight of Hormuz.

No, it's probably more like four or five million barrels a day, and that may decrease even more as a result of Donald Trump's reckless escalation. I want to share with you, though, what Iran's

security counsel, Secretary Motion Resi said in an interview about the new secret weapon that

Iran has, as well as Iran's new plan. It will be implementing. This is a really big update folks. So, Motion Resi said 48 hours ago, for the first time, we, the IRGC, Iran, Iran's Army tested an Iranian anti-ship missile above an American warship. This special missile created a hell for the Americans and they fled. Let's talk about what this missile probably is. It's probably a casem, busier, medium range anti-ship ballistic missile, which has a range of approximately

1,200 kilometers. We recently saw the Houthis in Yemen, used this against certain Saudi tankers, and the Saudi backed military forces in the region. The Houthis have been making significant advancements in Yemen as well to more territories in Western Yemen and other areas in Yemen as well.

And now that you have Motion Resi talking about this secret weapon, it is most likely this

cuisine, busier, medium range missile, which can cause absolute hell and absolute chaos. Now that Iran is showing that it has this weapon and that it's willing to use it. But thus far

Motion Resi says, we just basically fired a warning shot. Here's what the ballistic missile looks

like you can see for yourself. This first one is what it looks like in Yemen. You can see it right here. Here's some other photos of it. There's another weapon that Iran's been using with a lot of success also. USA today reported about it last week, and here's how they describe it. Analyst tell USA today that the US military under Higgsip was in prepared to stop the maneuverable Kibar shaken missile that Tehran deployed so far in this catastrophic war that Trump and Netanyahu launched.

It's called the Castlebreaker. And then like some of the other ballistic missiles that just

basically go from point A to point B and don't kind of maneuver around some of the interceptors

that are being used against it. The Castlebreaker this Kibar shaken is able to kind of change its course in the middle of the air to avoid the interceptors. So not only has the United States run out of interceptors like the Pack threes and the Thad interceptors and

Other munitions that were very low on are fully run out of.

to strike down the new Kibar shaken. So I think that's a major development also. I'll show you this

in a little bit. The Houthis published a video yesterday where they showed the use of some of the

upgraded ballistics on a convoy of Saudi backed forces in Yemen and they showed the precision with which they're able to strike using these new weapons, these upgraded weapons. So far from the Trump regime destroying Iran's capabilities. Iran has enhanced its capabilities both in terms of the quantity and in terms of the quality of the weapons. Iran's security council secretary Rosai also explained the following. In the coming days and weeks, we will announce a restricted zone

outside the Strait of Hormuz that starts from the US Navy's blockade line and extends through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf. Any ship identified entering the zone with the intention of passing through the Strait will be added to our sanctions list, meaning if you cross this line right here and you could take a look at this visual and putting on screen where the US blockade line is. What Iran is saying is any tank at all that passes through this without coordinating,

you know, which is significantly further beyond the Strait of Hormuz depark demarcation line.

You know, it's kind of right by the Gulf of Oman. Iran says we basically reserve the rights

to destroy your ships. So in other words, US, you escalate. We're going to start shooting all these ships deep in the Gulf of Oman, which we haven't really been doing yet. We've been striking the ships trying to use the southern route by Oman in the Strait of Hormuz, but we'll start shooting

deep by the US blockade line. And I think that's a big development as well. Also, Iran's

Security Council Secretary motion as I says the following. The Americans are trying to smuggle five to six vessels, spending a lot of money, but these ships are usually targeted. We have not yet

decided to sink them because they are carrying petroleum products. If they were to pollute the

entire Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, it would create a problem for us as well. However, none of them pass through safely. Eventually, they suffer damage. Iran's Parliament leader, their top civilian official essentially, M.B. Gallenbough, who previously had a career in Iran's military, said the following. Americans must have understood that the era of proportionate response is over. The game is now changed. Any violation of Iran's interests and security will receive a

faster, heavier, and more painful response. And he also seemed to have alluded to their use of

these new ballistics, both the Cason, Bessier, Medium Range, and Di-ship Ballistic, and the Castle Breakers, which the U.S. does not have a response for, and which was used as a warning shot also, the Cousine Ballistic missile that was over the weekend, and we saw the U.S. go relatively silent after that. Now, while you have these warnings and these statements being made by Iran, I want to share it with you because we're not getting this perspective from American media at all

period of full stop, but you have Pete Heggsiff, the incompetent, idiotic, secretary of defense, he posts images like this. The flyovers will continue until morale improves. But you've been been in this position for about two years, until the morale improves. I thought you said that it's the highest morale ever. Oh, wait a minute, you are lying. It's the lowest morale ever. Our troops are not even being fed appropriately. They're not getting male. They're not getting

packages from their family. The plumbing on these aircraft carriers and ships is destroyed. You're not doing the basic nuts and bolts of logistics because you were a failure, your damn whole damn life exit. You couldn't run a small non-profit veterans group without being pushed out for mismanagement. Then you were a failed fox weekend host. And of course, Donald Trump bankrupted most of the companies he was affiliated with, including casino after casino. And

look at what this lunatic Donald Trump was posting this weekend. By by car, weird AI images, weird AI slop, again, of him hammering Carg Island in his own fairy tale delusional psychotic imagination. Donald Trump's sitting on like a throne. Give them nightmares. Give them nightmares.

Do you realize that the whole world just views you as a weekend pathetic and ...

Nobody scared of you. Everybody views you as a vial, weak piece of trash. By the way,

Putin is laughing in your face. I mean, you send Kushner and Whit cough. Your sluzer sun and

law, who is going to bankrupt the one building daddy gave him during your first term in Qatar,

had a bail him out or your skumbag real estate buddy Steve Whit cough, who own apartments in Harlem, who goes in there, goes Vladimir. Today is a day. I will talk about forever after my retirement. I am so grateful for you to honor me with your presence so weak, so damn pathetic. Back to Iran's security council secretary for a second. He goes, we have reserved the right to respond to Americans attack on a wedding ceremony in Kush dock, Syrac, and Syrac County.

And the Americans should know this. Then he goes on to say, we have every right. This is Iran's security council secretary, Motion Razi. We have every right to distrust America. We engage in diplomacy and negotiations, but we have a right to be skeptical. Now they claim that Iran cannot be trusted first of all. They are lying. We are among the most trustworthy

nations in the world. Why? Because we have never initiated an attack on any country, never challenged

the political borders of others or any other country, and have fulfilled all our international commitments. Americans, on the other hand, have never honored their commitments and have always opposed our nation. Even Pavlavi, who went to America due to revolutionary pressure, was abandoned by them. Had he returned, you had have seen the calamity. They would have inflicted upon him within two or three months, despite him being their own agent. This is because their policy

towards Iran and its people is one of complete control, wanting nothing more than a group of servants who follow orders blindly. This is all they have ever wanted. It's what he says right there. As I see him speaking and giving that interview, I just reflect last night of literally dumb and dumber, right? And you could tell me who's dumb and who's dumber, Whitkov and Kushner right over there, getting out of Ukraine very quickly after further

shaming the United States. Did I? I did that video yesterday. You should go and watch

of their press conference and keep where Kushner's like Donald Trump is a business guy. So we're here and I'll do my Kushner voice. We're here to try and find a win-win business deal between Ukraine and Russia. Russia has its own aspirations. And so we're trying to bring Russia's aspirations to Ukraine. And then Whitkov was like, and Putin has greeted me so nicely all eight times I've visited. He showed me nothing but respect. And I believe in personal

relationships. Okay, great wood cough that you believe in personal relationships. You know what Putin believes in? You being an idiot. He handpicked you because you're dumb dumb. That's why

you and Kushner are dumb and dumber. And it is a weapon and mass destruction. Almost more powerful

than a nuclear weapon perhaps more powerful against the United States to see dumb and dumber show up in Moscow and behave the way you did and then go to Ukraine and behave the way you did. That is Putin weaponizing your dumb dumbness. Okay, and that's exactly what happened. It's like I watched that and our American media so propaganda is here that you can't get anything accurate for them. But the people who watch us feel like what the hell was that? The hell are these

losers? Who are these people? Where's the I don't like Rubio? But at least he's the secretary of state. That's his job. The hell is he? We got you. We got these two freaking losers out there. Meanwhile, you know, who also sees weakness in the Trump regime and sees Trump covering up child sex trafficking and knows exactly the buttons to push Netanyahu yesterday. He goes the regime and Iran is end his near. It is weak. It is finding for its life. It is staggering.

And there are still a mission to complete that we are determined to carry out. This was ultimately changed the face of the Middle East and the course of history. Just stay out, man.

Lebanon is in yours. Gaza is in yours. Palestine is you stay out. Stay out. What are you doing?

What the hell is going on with all these people? Let me share with this yesterday because I want to bring attention to this that doesn't get nearly enough attention. Yesterday Netanyahu killed a five-year-old Wafa Yusuf Akila and her father happened on Sunday in a drone strike on their vehicle in Western

Gaza city.

a little girl and her father. That's a killed 80,000 people. You injured 170,000 people in this genocide and it is sick and disgusting. So while I shared with you what Iran's general is saying. Motion Razai saying, "I showed you hexa. Moral needs to improve more flyovers of Gidraxome. The U.S. has purged our top generals. People like Christopher Donni, one of the U.S. Army's most combat

experience commanders, was forced out by Hegsev, like basically getting rid of like the number one

person on our team. Oh, well, either him or Randy George, the Army Chief of Staff who was forced out by Hegsev. But this is who the Trump regime is folks. This is who they are now. I want to show you. I did a translation for all of you to see what motion Razai said about the new secret weapon, how they did a warning shot, how they know they could kill. They wanted to everybody aboard these aircraft carriers that are in the region. But Iran wants to avoid escalation if it can.

But I'll give you my theory. And then I'll play the motion. Razai video. I want to watch the full video.

I believe firmly giving you my opinion that Donald Trump wants Iran to attack the aircraft

carrier. Trump believes our service members are suckers and losers. He already believes that about them. So I believe that Trump is using those ships also as bait just sitting there. And then he can be like, ah, you see, you see Iran struck our ships. Now we need to do the ground invasion. I think he's using our aircraft carriers as bait. I think Iran knows that as well. And I think Iran is trying to balance knowing that Donald Trump just wants to use our troops as bait. And Iran knows that

America's in a dire economic situation right now with the salt, cavern strategic patrol in reserves at tank bottom with gas and diesel at all time highs. The US economy is collapsing. Every day that passes every month that passes, it will get worse. And so I think Iran's internal debate is do we strike the aircraft carriers, which is easy. It's right there. Clearly our case in what missiles can hit it pretty easily. But if we do that, then that will result in a

you maybe more US public support for the war than existed. We're nobody supports this thing. So let's hold off on doing that. And let's just drag this out a little bit. And Trump wants the post is mean. Let us put in post is mean. Let me show you the clip of motion rosy right now.

You can see for yourself. Let's play it. For the very first time since the the conclusion

of the 12 day war, we have successfully managed to conduct a test of our primary anti-ship missile system targeting a United States warship just 48 hours ago. It was in every sense an absolute living health, a ballistic missile, a special missile. All of the warships have not fled. The incident is of such profound significance that even sent confirmed themselves unable to deny it. They have officially admitted to it and they

have brutally attacked two or three of our vessels, one of which was empty while the other two were

carrying oil. We stood up and made it clear when we declared luck you need to understand that

this is the true extent of our power. There's so you had better behavior yourself and finally grant our nation the rights it is rightfully old. Because Mr. Kostravvi, we are fully aware that striking a warship would result in sinking two or three hundred Americans. However, they simply refuse to take out threat series. If you recall, I have mentioned this exact point in two or three separate interviews previously. So in order to ensure that they finally

believe our threats, we decided to carry out this launch. And then you saw that and I'll show you this blabbering buffoon, Chris Wright, the energy secretary. He was on ABCs this week and dude was like he was asked. So should we expect there's going to be an Iran nuclear deal to ensure they're not going to get nuclear weapons. And Chris Wright says, yeah, there may not be any deal. There may not be any

deal. That's how we talk to you. The human cushioner, they all have that same thing.

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's full. It's all right. Like whiny. I go, are they? I always come back to like,

who are these losers, man? Watch what Chris Wright says play this clip. Well, let's talk about gas prices right now. The average is four dollars and ten cents a gallon a year ago. The labor day average was three dollars and sixteen cents a gallon. Diesel prices are also soaring just a few weeks ago. You mentioned President Trump. He dismissed the increase in gas prices

As just a tiny bit.

gasoline, just remember you're doing it so that a very evil country cannot have a country really. It's the number one state sponsor of terror in the world. We don't want to have them have a nuclear

up and so remember that when you have to pay a little bit more your $4. It's okay. I mean it's

I'm not, I'll never apologize. I said did the right thing. Okay, it's been more than six months of

paying higher prices and there is also no sign of a nuclear agreement. You talk about that President Trump talks about that, but where's the sign that they're going to have a nuclear agreement? There may not be a nuclear agreement. It may be simply destroying their capabilities to do it. An agreement may await a next administration in Iran. We simply don't know that, but I think what the President was communicating there is how critically important this is.

If Iran has nuclear weapons, the Middle East, the world is a wildly different place than it is today. And the Trump administration, as you heard last year at Labor Day, incredibly low gas prices at the end of peak driving season. Yes, they're higher today, but we're doing everything we can to push them down. We change refinery, refinery specks recently so that American refineries can produce more gasoline and diesel, New York, Connecticut, California and other democratic

run states decided not to adopt those. Their goal is to raise energy prices. New California's had that goal for quite some time. Mr. Secretary, I got to stop you there.

You said we may not get a nuclear agreement. So how do we keep them from having a nuclear weapon?

Just keep bombing when they build things up? Yet to destroy their capabilities to do it, they built a massive missile infrastructure to manufacture missiles, which you see them firing today, but they don't have the capability to build

more missiles. We are degrading their capacity to develop nuclear weapons and ultimately to deliver

them if they develop them. It is 47-year long effort. This is not trivial, but the United States will get the job done and we will work in cooperation with our allies in the region. And I think you'll see countries from around the world joining this effort as well.

And realistically, let's again talk about it. And on a very serious note, there's a lot of

lows, but a new low right here, indeed. The telegraph reporting, how the Pentagon is refusing a payout for soldiers who died in the Iran conflict because Donald Trump is saying it's not a war. Grieving families are being deemed ineligible for additional benefits as U.S. strikes are viewed as non-war. This is intermittent. This is what Donald Trump says. Small potatoes. The Trump regime is refusing payouts for U.S. soldiers who died in the U.S. Israeli war against

Iran because Trump says it's not a real war. Per the telegraph, Libby Kleiner, Libby Kleiner, widow of 33-year-old Major Alex Kleiner says the U.S. Air Force deemed her ineligible for additional benefits following her husband's death because Congress has not officially declared war. She says my husband lost his life because we're in a war, and then I was told that because it's not technically a war, we lose out on something and all comes down to principle.
