Donald Trump is panicking as multiple Arab nations that are purportedly allie...
are demanding that Donald Trump have U.S. forces engage in a ground invasion of Iran.
“These Arab nations are saying you can't leave this region unless you obliterate Iran because”
if you leave and Iran still controls the straight of Hormuz and if Iran is stronger than ever, which they are now, you are going to be leaving all of your purported Arab nation allies being left far more vulnerable and the security umbrella that the United States promised is over. Those quid pro quo those pay for play schemes Donald, they are over and these Arab nations are saying they're going to go elsewhere. Here's the breaking news late at night
that has Donald Trump a panicking. The United Arab Emirates supported by Bahrain, Kuwait, and also Saudi Arabia pushing hard for Donald Trump to order a ground invasion of Iran. Mind you, these nations aren't going to provide their own ground forces as officials for many
“Gulf allies of the United States. Again, including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates”
have conveyed in private conversations that they don't want the ongoing military operation to end until there are significant changes in the Iranian leadership or there's a dramatic shift in Iran's behavior. Diplomatic officials told the Associated Press. I mean, just over the past 12 hours, you had an oil tanker off the coast of Dubai, get hit by Iran, you've had major infrastructure in Kuwait, be destroyed by Iran, Iran continues to strike in Israel recently hitting
an oil depot in Haifa, continues to strike Bahrain, continues to hit critical infrastructure
and military bases in Saudi Arabia. And then earlier today, during a press conference, Donald Trump's press secretary Caroline Levitts like, "We're going to have the Arab nations pay for this war. We're going to roll out that plan." I mean, yeah, we invaded the region with Denyahu without telling the Arab nation allies that, you know, bought Donald Trump private planes and put up Trump hotels in their countries and funneled hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars
to Trump Bitcoin and crypto and other Trump ventures like world liberty, financial. But we're going to make the Arab nations pay for it. You know, meanwhile, the Iranian parliament earlier today
approved a bill to levy fees on the straight of Hormuz transit, at least $2 million for any ship
to pass through the straight of Hormuz. This was voted on by the Iranian parliament. So as Donald Trump's like, "We've totally obliterated them. They're utterly destroyed. They don't exist anymore. They're parliament met and held a formal meeting where they passed a law to fully take control over the straight of Hormuz in their legislation." Meanwhile, the speaker of the Iranian parliament M.B. Gallabov, the guy who Donald Trump says, "Yeah, I'm negotiating with Gallabov." And we're
becoming closer. I'll let you know in a few weeks what he's like. M.B. Gallabov posted an hour or so ago. Iran's enemies pass off their wishes as news while simultaneously threatening our nation. They're dead wrong. If they strike once, they'll get hit several times back. The people of Iran, God willing, under the guidance of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, will make the enemy regret its actions and attain their rightful rights. And as noted, Kuwait's petroleum
corporation said that Iranian forces attacked an oil tanker, the al-Salmi in the Persian Gulf tonight, Iran hit this Kuwaiti crude carrier in a Dubai port. The United Kingdom maritime trade operations also confirmed that there was this strike there. Meanwhile, you have the United States in Israel striking an area in Isfahan believed to be a ballistic missile depot in Isfahan, though not clear what it is. In the earlier, you had the Iranian press secretary, one of the
IRGC or foreign ministry press secretary's rather. He's like, we're not having any negotiations with Donald Trump. Don't believe him. There's no communications. Yes, they're trying to convey to Pakistan, things to have us talk, but we put forward our non-negotiables that unless we get reparations, we control the straightive from moves. We don't reduce our ballistic missiles or shahy drones. We have real security guarantees for us. The Houthis, Hezbollah, and our Iranian
“Shiite proxies in Iraq. We're not doing anything. You're just, remember, listen to what the Iranian”
foreign ministry spokesperson said play this clip. We have had no direct negotiations with America so far.
Since the last round of negotiations until now, the U.
and illogical. The meetings that Pakistan has with neighboring countries are, well, a framework they themselves have established. We have not participated in this framework. Mayard Can it be allowed that Iran and Iranians being a position of confronting the illegal aggression of America and the Zionist regime to use the available capabilities on the soil of regional countries, while our armed forces remain silent? The duty of every authority demands that
it respond to such cases. With an now Senator Marco Rubio is posting videos where he says the following on the Department of State website and their social media accounts pay attention to the
shift of language. Here's what Rubio said. Here are the clear objectives of the operation. You should
write them down. Okay, Rubio, I'll write them down. One, the destruction of Iran's Air Force, two, the destruction of their Navy, three, the severe diminishing of their missile launching capability for the destruction of their factories, bulls eye emoji, the severe diminishing of their missile launch. So they can still have the missiles. They can still keep the regime. They can still control these straightive or her moves. There's no regime change. They're stronger than ever.
But are you saying that they'll have to get rid of their Navy and their Air Force? They're hitting with the drone swarms, the FPB drones and the Shahid drones and the ballistic
“missiles? That's what they're, but they don't, just as long as those are diminished. But by who's the count?”
Notice that there was nothing on that list as well about not enriching uranium or nuclear capabilities.
Are anything like that? Do you see the whole shift in the language which coincides? Now, I'll do a longer report on this, but the Wall Street Journal reporting at the following. Trump is signaling he's willing to end the war with Iran without reopening the straightive or moves. Effectively handing control of the choke point to Iran and punting any plan to reopen it to a later date. By the way, Iran won't accept that unless they have security guarantees.
That's pretty obvious. You heard what they said. Trump tells his Aides he's willing to end the war without reopening or moves. In other words, he's willing to surrender. That's what he's saying. And administration officials assess that forcing the war to a back open would mean extending the military mission. You all did the invasion. It was your catastrophic unlawful invasion where you said you were going to do regime change. And now it's reopen the
“straightive or moves. That's your, that's what you're considering a win. Like do we all realize”
how pathetic it is? Here's how it's being described also. Trump has according to the Wall Street Journal informed his Aides, what we said before. The plan now is pressure, Tehran diplomatically to restore the free flow of trade if that fails. Washington would press allies in Europe and the Gulf to take the lead on reopening the straight. Officials said according to the report, US officials determined that a direct mission to reopen the straightive or moves would risk
prolonging the war beyond Trump stated for in a six week timeline. Instead, the strategy has shifted toward degrading Iran's military capabilities while winding down active operations while Iran now moves towards fully codifying what you heard. It's told system in the straight of Hormuz, a member of Iran's National Security Commission, said lawmakers approved the formal plan to codify Iran's control. The proposal includes new financial arrangements.
It's a tolling system. They know how control, Oman, notably is referenced as a potential partner
“in shaping the legal framework. Remember Oman who Donald Trump picked to be his mediator,”
back in late February in the before Donald Trump and Netanyahu invaded Iran. Remember the Omani and Foreign Minister who said that there was a deal in principle in the afternoon and that night Netanyahu and Trump invaded Iran? Yeah, Oman is now working with Iran to help them solidify the Hormuz toll system. Why Oman won their close by? But to it gives it legitimacy that now we're working with the mediator who's now on our side blessing our ability to control
Hormuz. Do we see the moves that are being made? Oh, but while that's being reported a few things. I'll do a longer report on this. Financial Times reports a broker for U.S. War Secretary Defense Secretary Pete Hegsev attempt to do purchase a defense focus fund shortly before U.S. Israeli strikes on around the inquiry reportedly involved a multi-million dollar investment
in Black Rock's defense industrial active ETF via Morgan Stanley, but the transaction was never
executed because the fund was not yet available to Morgan Stanley clients. The Pentagon rejected the claim calling it fabricated. And the Nasdaq listed IDF fund has risen about 28% over the year, but it's down roughly 13% over the past month. You have this world renowned economist Muhammad
Al-Arihan says, I must say I'm worried.
that the war is triggered both a price shock and a demand shock, warning a chain reaction from
“energy shock to inflation shock to demand destruction with Asia, already fearing actual physical”
shortages, raising the risk of financial instability if the conflict continues. But folks, one of the main architects of this war, Lindsey Graham, was photographed by TMZ at Disneyland with a bubble wand.
And by the way, my little daughter, 18 months, she loves the bubble. She's that used at Disney
World. Sorry, not Disneyland. Disney World. My baby daughter, she loves the bubble wand at Disneyland. And he was waving that around apparently. Sen. Lindsey Graham had a show how tough he was. And he goes, spending some time breaking clays in Edgefield County today. Doesn't get much better than that. We're hunting some duck. We're hunting some fizzing out there. I'm a tough guy. Meanwhile, gas prices, over $4 officially, the national average has just hit
$4 a gallon according to gas buddy right now. US oil prices surge. The above $105 a barrel.
