That's 1,800 flowers.com/podcast. Donald Trump is panicking as Iran says.

It is preparing 1 million troops.

If the United States invades the carg Islands or anywhere else in Iran. Now, Donald Trump has immediately responded by claiming he is entering into further fake negotiations with Iran, which Iran has immediately denied.

But Donald Trump made this statement as the markets here in the United States are crashing. And so again, Donald Trump has tried to manipulate the market, but it seems the market is getting numb to all of his lies where he'll make up something, then Iran,

whether it's to the Wall Street Journal or through an intermediary or through drop cider through another financial times. We'll just say absolutely everything that Donald Trump is saying is not true. Let's just go through the events here.

So Iran says, if you invade, we have more than 1 million fighters who are preparing for a ground battle. And Iran put that out through Tasman news agency, citing their own Iranian military sources, then Donald Trump posts as per Iranian government request.

Please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of energy plan to scripture structure, by the way, that's a war crime. By 10 days to Monday, April 6th, 2026 at APM Eastern Time.

Talks are ongoing and despite erroneous statements to the contrary, by the fake news media and others, they are going very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump. So instinctively, we knew that Donald Trump was lying

because everything that spews out of his mouth and vomits out of his face is an absolute lie. And then shortly thereafter, we heard from Iranian officials who said the following, senior Iranian officials told drop site news that US president Donald Trump

was not being truthful in his post earlier untruth social announcing an additional five day pause on his threat to bomb Iranian energy infrastructure at the request of Iran with the official stating, Trump is not being truthful.

We have not submitted any request regarding potential US attacks. Now you might be saying, well, that's a senior Iranian official and they're saying that to drop site. Maybe that's a lie. Maybe they're not telling the truth well.

Then one of the individuals trying to be a mediator.

I think probably from Pakistan that the US is trying to use

to engage with Iran, then went to the Wall Street Journal and made it very clear. Iran hasn't requested a pause on energy. Side strikes, the mediator says. So the same way that the former mediator,

the foreign minister of Oman basically said

that the United States and Israel acted in a way that was inconsistent with the negotiations where there was a deal that was reached in late February and that there were just technical details that needed to follow.

But then the US and Israel invaded Iran when there was a deal to be had. You're having the new mediator likely from Pakistan, but it's unclear from where. Telling the Wall Street Journal and others

that what Donald Trump is saying is an absolute lie. Iran has not requested a 10 day pause on strikes on its energy plans and is yet to deliver a final response to the US 15 point plan to end the war according to, quote, peace talk mediators.

This was reported by Wall Street Journal. But what we do know from this article is that Iran has ruled out discussing its missiles program as a starting point to talks and doesn't want to commit to ending enrichment

of uranium forever, the mediators say. So don't even talk to us about dismantling our shahids, our ballistic missiles of any range, intermediate, or otherwise, we're not even gonna have that conversation with you and we want to enrich uranium.

We saw what you did when you invaded us the last time.

So we don't trust you, that's what Iran is saying.

So Iran has already rejected the 15 point plan through the mediator. And then before that, you had seen your Iranian officials

basically saying, no plan for talks appears

to be realistic at this stage. So Iran says no plan for talks because there's no realistic view by the United States. Donald Trump sees the markets crashing yet again. Donald Trump lies and then says we are,

we've agreed to a five day period

Where we won't be doing war crimes

by bombing the energy infrastructure.

Iran responds, we're not asking for this.

You're just making up again fake negotiations, layered on fake negotiations. Now, Israel's channel 14 reports that Iranian officials

have always believed that ongoing negotiations

now are a American intelligence app aimed at gathering precise information about leadership locations and decision-making since centers. The report adds that this concern has led Tehran to avoid electronic communications

and instead to rely on field intermediaries to manage sensitive contacts. Now, it should also be noted that Iran's military is releasing a video showing a message being placed on a missile ahead of launch.

The latest in a series of such clips, these photos, either reference Jeffrey Epstein or Trump being part of the Epstein class, or have photos of American soldiers coming home in American flag-draped cast against analysts say this tactic.

You see it right here, play the viral, everybody. Say the tactic reflects a broader effort

to shape the narrative during the conflict.

And what Iran is saying, however, first and foremost, we're not doing a deal. If you want to talk to us, don't even mention ballistic missiles

or that we can never enrich uranium.

Those are in starting points. We've seen you in the United States, your military evacuating and abandoning the 13 military bases in the Middle East because of our Shaheed and FPV drone swarms.

We're being assisted by Russia while you lift sanctions against us in Russia. Iran is feeling emboldened right now, if anything. And so what Iran is signaling, though, is that they've got a, quote, special and unprecedented plan

for the UAE in Bahrain. Iran's IRG ceiling, far's new agency. IRGC is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. This is their state regime, far's new agency. Sites an informed military source reports

that Tehran has prepared special and unprecedented measures against the UAE and Bahrain and the event of any ground attack on Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf. The warning follows US threats of a ground operation

and the ledge support from these Gulf states, including hosting bases and providing infrastructure and advanced technologies. Tehran said any response would be very damaging and instructive and specifically this infographic being

circulated by Iranian media outlines

key energy infrastructure across the UAE

drop site reports, including power stations, nuclear facilities and solar hubs, as potential targets in the event of escalation. Key sites being identified or desalination complex in Dubai, nuclear power plants and power stations

in Abu Dhabi, other power plants in Dubai and solar parks in Dubai and similar facilities. In Bahrain, the report claims that strikes on these sites could trigger widespread blackouts and disrupt desalination industry

and data centers with cascading effects on UAE's economy and regional trade expert site in the report. So, the country's heavy reliance on centralized power infrastructure

make these sites strategically critical.

Also, Iran is now officially designating the four seasons in Sheraton Hotels as well as the presidential palace in serious capital Damascus as military targets, claiming the presidents, the presence of American Israeli and British experts

inside these locations make them fair targets to strike. Meanwhile, you have foreign minister of Iran. Iran, Qi, posting the following, the wise stances of the great religious authorities, the government and the Iraqi people must be commended in condemning

the aggression of America and the Zionist entities in standing alongside Iran. It's government and people in confronting this aggression. You're offering of condolences for the martyrdom of the leader of the revolution,

reflects the depth of the strong ties between the two peoples. For in times of hardship, true brothers are known. So, the Iraqi government has now authorized the Shiite militias to attack American military bases

in surrounding Arab nations, as well as inner rock. So, in essence, Iraq has now joined the war which they have for some time, though. Shoulder to shoulder with Iran, Iraq and Iran together targeting American bases.

And we've seen these FPV first-person view in drones by the Shiite militias who get a lot of resources from Iran who in turn gets a lot of resources from Russia, using it to strike blackhawks and radars and others in American military bases with relative impunity.

And we see those drone swarms moving around with those cameras that we have. All right, you hear that? That's the sound to me opening an alipop. And I've got to say, this has completely replaced

traditional soda for me. Alipop is a new kind of soda that combines the classic soda and taste with the benefits of a functional ingredient blend to support digestive health.

Honestly, the best part, it really delivers

on that taste that takes you back.

For me, it's the root beer flavor.

The first sip instantly brings me back to being a kid.

Summer afternoons, grabbing a cold soda, that nostalgic familiar taste. But now, I'm not reaching for traditional cola anymore. Because Alipop is reimagining soda with high fiber and low sugar.

Actually, I made the switch when I started being more intentional about what I was drinking day-to-day. And when you realize that two out of three Americans say they suffer from digestive issues, and 95% of Americans don't get the daily recommended

amount of fiber, it just makes sense to reach for something that supports your lifestyle. Now, it's part of my routine. Afternoon, pick me up, winding down at night, even just the meat time moment.

Same great soda experience, just smarter.

And right now, you can get a free can of Alipop

just by any two cans in store, and they will pay you back for water. It works on any flavor, any retailer. Head to drinkalipop.com/mightesttolerinmore. You can also find Alipop online

or in the soda aisle and refrigerated section

at thousands of retailers nationwide, including Walmart, Target, Costco, and Whole Foods. Trust me, once you try it, you are not going back to traditional soda. Also, Iranians, President Masood, Pasechkin,

also sent a big thank you to Russia and Russia's people and to Putin. He rides President Putin, message, and the support of the Russian people inspire us in this war.

The resistance and the courage of the Iranian people promised new bonds. Now, we'll ensure the security at East Asia by the countries of the region. On behalf of the people of Iran,

I thank the government and people of Russia. We know that Russia is providing Iran with substantial military support, with more drones, with component parts, with active military intelligence,

while Donald Trump continues to attack you crane and suck up to Putin removing sanctions against Russian oil, removing sanctions against Iranian oil, removing sanctions against Belarus, helping Russia make the money to make the military weapons,

to attack Ukraine and to hand to Iran, to attack American soldiers. You also have MB-Galabov, the head of Iran's parliament, mocking Pete Hexat's comment where Hexat said during that deranged cabinet meeting earlier today.

For years, Iran told the world their missiles could only range two kilometers. Surprise, yet again, Iran lied. Galabov posted this meme of a little child looking at Pete Hexat like he's crazy.

Iran continues to mock Donald Trump his regime

and the United States never before

has the United States been weaker. Also, Iran is tightening control over the strait of her moves, forcing ships to share detailed data, reroute into the waters, and sometimes pay for passage, creating what analysts call a toll booth system, the AP,

is reporting, and Scott McFarlane, who has recently joined the Midas Touch Network as our chief Washington DC correspondent. He also runs at Scott McFarlane news. He has his own YouTube site.

Go check it out, search at Scott McFarlane news. Let's help him get 250,000 subscribers soon. He's interviewed numerous people on the hill who say it's a bad-f and idea, a terrible-f and idea. Congress is losing its patience with the briefings

and it's getting about Iran, all of this is a bad idea by Donald Trump and other sources say that Donald Trump appears to be leaning towards ordering this major ground operation against Iran as he continues to say that he's negotiating five days.

Seas fire deals or whatever he's saying, regarding their energy infrastructure, which he's not doing. And lots of people see the buildup with the Marine Expeditionary units, the 82nd Airborne Division,

the Special Operations, Unit Navy, Special Operations, Unit by the way, Trump and Hanks of Fire, the Navy Special Ops, former commander, which is significant because now they're without one of their top people.

But with all of the assets, people believe that this invasion of Iran and card can be imminent, in which case we expect to see all hell breaking loose and all that war in the Middle East. Still, Donald Trump gets his briefings via two minute clips

that are being curated to him by officials that show the US and Israel blowing up things in Iran.

And that's how Donald Trump is getting it

through these hype videos, which, again, is deeply concerning that that's how Donald Trump is getting his news with all of this going on. Donald Trump, as I mentioned, has lifted sanctions against Belarus as well, a Russian proxy.

Donald Trump is sending JD Vans to try to lift up Victor Orban in the next week, right before the big elections are set to take place in Hungary, where the pro-democracy party is expected to beat Orban, but Trump and Putin doing everything they can to prop up Hungary right now.

Iran, she also just posted, from the outset of this war, US soldiers fled military bases in Gulf countries to hide in hotels and offices. They use Gulf country citizens as human shields, hotels in US denied bookings to officers who may endanger

Customers, GCC, Gulf customer, Gulf country hotels

should do the same as well.

Also, these hardliners in Iran right now are saying,

we need nuclear weapons in Iran, never negotiate with America.

Again, we want our nuclear weapons right now. And this, as we're learning more and more how the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps faction within Iran, the military is asserting a lot more power right now in this war, whereas maybe more

of the power was in the Iatola before. But they had this mosaic decentralized style of leadership, but we're seeing even a more assertive than before IRGC as Iran, as I noted before, designating

foreseason Sheraton hotels in the palace in Syrian capital,

Damascus, as Valin military targets. I did the cabinet meeting that Donald Trump was, the hell there was that to range cabinet. Watch the whole thing where I show what happened in his cabinet meeting, but with everything

that I'm telling you, Donald Trump was saying, like, oh, people are saying, this is a disaster, or I think things are going great to your play this clip. - Iranian regime is now admitting to itself that they have been decisively defeated.

They're saying to people, this is a disaster.

They know, that's why they're talking to us,

and they're only, if they wouldn't talk otherwise, but they're talking to us because they've got a disaster in their hands, they're defeated. They can't make it come back. We're free to roam over there.

- And then Donald Trump starts saying, like, we're beating the shit out of Iran, we're beating the shit out of him here play this clip. The reason they want to make it is they have been just beat the shit.

- So the same thing that we've been taking control around the world? - It's an option.

I mean, I wouldn't talk about it, but it's an option.

- So you follow that? - Well, in Venezuela, we've done very well, working with Venezuela, certainly. We've taken in millions and billions of dollars, and by the way, Venezuela is doing better right now,

than they've ever done in the history of their country. We're not, let's be very clear what's really happening. I laid it out in this video. That's the truth. Do what you want with the truth,

but let's just start with the objective reality of what's happening.
