This is a breaking news alert.

The Trump regime has once again escalated the catastrophic war against Iran striking tankers

right off of Carg Island State regime media Fox is now confirming senior U.S. officials

have told Fox the United States military has struck targets near Carg Island and Jask. The targets include Iranian oil tankers. This is part of a larger effort to squeeze Iran economically. The strategy includes sinking and disabling Iranian oil tankers. Now earlier we started to hear explosions one after the other near Carg to explosions.

Then another explosion.

An explosion heard near Jask and it turns out it was indeed the Trump regime striking

Iranian oil tankers. Now military targets oil tankers like pirates.

Now this has Iran warned the United States.

If you strike our oil tankers we will unleash a massive retaliatory strike against U.S. military bases in the region. As you know we've been reporting here on the Midas Touch Network that Iran has been rolling out new ballistic weapons, ballistic missiles and other weapons that has been using

with a great degree of success and Iran made this warning before the United States just struck

multiple Iranian oil tankers off of Carg. Here is a statement from one of the military spokespeople over in Iran. The aggressive U.S. military has issued a warning to Iranian tankers to evacuate in order to attack them. Therefore I announce that any attack on Iranian tankers will result in the targeting of U.S.

bases in the region by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. We can be expecting Iranian retaliatory strikes in the very near future. We will be monitoring what's going to be taking place in Jordan, in Kuwait, in the UAE, in Erbil Iraq, at the Al-U.D. base in Qatar, and in other Arab nation neighbors of Iran. Earlier this morning you'll recall there was a lot of activity over the straightive

Hormuz and within the straight of Hormuz and advanced U.S. M.Q.1 drone was intercepted by Iran earlier and destroyed by Iran over the skies of the straightive Hormuz and Iran released footage of the moment it struck the U.S. M.Q.1 drone also show you that in a bit also. The Iran Navy announced that one of the U.S. military's most advanced unmanned underwater vehicles was seized by the Iranian armed forces at the entrance of the straightive Hormuz during

a complex intelligence and field operation and brought into Iran. Iran has since published numerous photos and videos of this AUV autonomous underwater vehicle and it does appear to be the dive L.D. model which is the cutting edge highly classified U.S. technology, new U.S. technology, Iran now has it in its possession, Iran will be able to reverse engineer this likely to rush it and China this is a massive loss that the U.S. lost one

of these andural dive L.D.A.U.Vs right here Iran announced the capture of this AUV as follows. The early morning capture of the U.S. military's most advanced 2025 unmanned submarine shows that no advanced technology can get past our surveillance layers in the straightive Hormuz dominance over the Persian Gulf belongs to our young technologist go back to the bay of pigs is the statement that Iran made so in the course of several hours Iran struck a U.S. M.Q. on drone in the air

and then struck a dive L.D. underwater vehicle as well and then issued that statement now what was the Trump regime's response the Trump regime admitted that one of its AUVs that's underwater autonomous vehicles was captured but they claim that it's simply malfunction no classified centers

and outdated older model we didn't even care about it as well that's what sent calm claim.

However, Iran released the video of the AUV and it was not what sent calms it once again surprise surprise the Trump regime is a lion because they're liars about every damn thing now this is the video that the IRGC released showing the intercepted U.S. Navy dive L.D. top of the line highly classified AUV drone that the Iranians now have in its possession play this clip

Iran's parliament leader M.

the most modern U.S. intelligence AUV just had a knock on its door from the IRGC Navy

U.S. Navy AUV program knocked out meanwhile foreign minister Iraq Chief Iran says after 47 years of sanctions the U.S. went to war with Iran on behalf of Israel the fallout has been disastrous for America including its standing worldwide after failing to achieve its aims through sanctions or war Washington's novel solution is more sanctioned seriously while in the other solution as I guess to strike

Iranian oil tankers that's what the United States Navy has been reduced to and sent calm has been

reduced to destroying oil tankers of another country to put the economic squeeze on them because that'll make them want to do a deal with you. How pathetic are you to think that that's what's

going to make Iran want to do a deal no Iran's going to climb the Escalatory ladder. I previously

showed one of the top military advisors to the Iatola Moshan Resai remember I showed you his interview yesterday he says look we have all of these new hypersonic ballistic missiles if we want to take out your dam aircraft carriers that are just sitting there in the Arabian sea we can take out both of your aircraft carriers easily do you see what the access of resistance allied the hoothees are doing right now in Saudi Arabia they're using the same missile technology that we

created for them essentially we've got the castle breakers we've got the anti-ship ballistic missiles

that go at an incredibly fast speed that you won't be able to stop we just this is what Iran's

view is that if they strike the aircraft carrier it's going to kill hundreds of U.S. sailors,

Navy sailors, and Marines and that that could potentially marshal some support of the American people against Iran when Iran knows that all they got to do is wait this one out a little bit and keep on striking U.S. bases in the region and the U.S. economy goes deeper and deeper into a great depression which is where the U.S. economy is heading right now as a result of the Trump regime's utter disastrous policies or no policies at all just just winging it.

Here's something most people aren't told about their credit score it's not just whether you pay

your credit cards it's when you pay them yeah most people don't realize that I know I didn't

but smart credits data experts understand how credit bureaus operate so they created something called the best pay-down date built around how credit reporting actually works now listen up because this is big so instead of guessing you get personalized strategies that show you what to do and when to do it to help you maximize your credit score and that matters because better credit can mean lower payments and more money in your pocket and this is where it gets interesting you can

see your full credit picture in one place your score what's affecting it and if something needs attention you can take care of it right there so before you apply for anything a car apartment refinance it makes sense to start with smart credit go to smart credit dot com slash lightest and try it for just one dollar you may be surprised to see how many points smart credit estimates that you can gain that smart credit dot com slash mightest results vary cancel anytime

gas will be approaching five dollars very soon these strikes have only caused the price of crude to go up even higher this is a total calamity folks now Iranian channels close to the IRGC are stressing the importance of the U.S.A.U.V now in the Iranian hands they're saying we are going to reverse engineer this stuff this was the footage by the way showing Iranian air defense is intercepting and destroying that U.S. M.Q.1 drone over the straight of her moves you can see it for

yourself right there and let me remind you as well what took place over the past 24 hours as the Houthis struck really hard in Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia says 73 wounded as the Houthis attack Al Suralla attack civilian and energy sites over there and they attacked me just go look at some of the locations where they hit I mean they hit Abah they hit Jazan they hit a Newton a number

Iran release this video a look at their castle breaker missile you can see it for yourself let's play it with satellite imagery revealing at least 15 US military installations and complete or significant ruins

the hay bar chicane appears to have been a highly effective choice for the Iranian military

but what makes this missile so effective first the the hay bar chicane relies on solid fuel and mobile launchers this enables its rapid deployment and makes it difficult for enemy forces to target on the ground once deployed it can travel up to 1500 kilometers secondly interception is very difficult because the hay bar chicane which is its target within minutes and can change direction before descending finally it has a heavy warhead that weighs between 450 in 600 kilograms

making it capable of easily destroying multi-level structures meanwhile Benjamin Netin Yahu said the following we have to complete this mission to eliminate the Iranian threat once and for all means defeating this necessary defeat this regime it will fall we must bring it down eliminate

his bowl of once for a lemonade hummus now I ask a simple question who fought for us the answer is clear
