The United States has launched military strikes yet again against Iran in the...

Hormuz violating the ceasefire.

It just happened moments ago.

Let me repeat the United States military has just targeted Iran in yet another military

strike. The United States military is confirming that they just targeted numerous sites in Iran and they are saying that this was purely defensive. This was defensive in nature, even though they were attacking Iran. Let's talk about what went down.

So three loud explosions were heard east of the straight of Hormuz coastal city of Bondar

Abbas, about one thirty AM local time in Iran.

Then we heard Iranian air defense activated for several minutes. The U.S. Air Force E3G AWACs a P-8A Poseidon tanker and fighter jets were seen active over the Persian Gulf during this period of time.

Then we heard an official statement from the United States military confirming that the

U.S. carried out a defensive operation in Bondar Abbas saying that the U.S. will act to safeguard its regional interest and it said this should not affect the ceasefire. We felt threatened. Now earlier you learned that and we talked about Iran's IRGC shot down a U.S. M. Q9 Reaper drone on Monday with the foreign ministry declaring Iran will not leave any new

aggression unanswered. So we will see what happens next here. This is how it was being reported on CBS news. The U.S. military carried out another round of strikes on Iran, which they say was defensive. A senior U.S. official says Iran fired for one way drones at a U.S. commercial ship.

The U.S. military says that then shot down the drones and struck another Iranian drone

launching unit on the ground before it could launch. We got a buff Iran's parliament leader through a spokesperson put out the following strategic assessment, maintaining the risk of reclosing the straightive or moves and restriking the infrastructure of U.S. allied countries in the region will be the primary factor in Iran's control of conditions in the coming weeks.

In other words, Iran saying should we start striking some of the other countries in the region as Iran's been working on a bilateral basis with these Arab nations working to do deals with them directly as Donald Trump was in the White House today talking about how he will blow up Oman that was Donald Trump's latest threat. He would blow up Oman and Trump was demanding that all Arab nations join in alliances

with Israel and join the Abraham Accords even though most Arab nations say they're never going

to do that until Palestine is recognized in each Jerusalem as its capital by Israel. Those were the threats that Donald Trump made today in Trump was like, maybe this guy over here, he loves war, maybe he will just finish you off. And by the way Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan, you owe us to become allies with Israel. You owe it to us.

I was watching that this morning, I was like, what the heck are we watching meanwhile Iran's head of their Parliament National Security Council, Abraham Azizi put out the following statement as well. Iran will not back down from its red lines, such as the right to enrichment and enriched uranium management of these great of war moves and the lifting of sanctions in the face

of Trump's rhetoric. Everyone knows that Trump in order to save himself from his strategic deadlock, resorts to the tool of threats one day and begs for an agreement in the next now as the United States military has just targeted Iran in these straightive war moves once again in the area of Bondar, Abbas, Israel has also launched massive attacks on the city of Tire in southern

Lebanon. We saw massive accusations in this southern city of Lebanon earlier today and Israel is just leveling this city on the ground as I'm sure you're all aware from watching our coverage. One of Iran's red lines for negotiations is that there be a ceasefire in Lebanon, not just

a ceasefire in Iran and not just a ceasefire there, but also with the Houthis and Yemen and the Iranian-backed Iraqi militia groups, actually not just a ceasefire, but permanent security

Guarantees for all of these areas and all of these regions.

So we've seen this escalation by Israel in the past 48 hours, 72 hours when it appeared

a deal was very close to happening.

I want to go to what people were saying on the ground in Iran as well before the United

States military strikes just took place, but I want to share with you right now just to remind you Donald Trump's threats against Oman, Iran's neighbor, where they both jointly control the straightive or moves now, Trump threatens to blow up Oman while sitting next to Rubio and Hexip. Let's just watch this one more time.

Let's play this clip. It's a wrong once control of the straight-up of moves. Would you accept a short-term deal that allows Iran and Oman to control the straight and would they have to open it immediately or would you be open to that happening over a period of time?

Now, the straight's going to be open to everybody, sir. And who are going to control this international waters? Nobody's going to control it. We're going to watch out for it. We'll watch out for it.

But nobody's going to control this part of the negotiation that we have. They would like to control it. Nobody's going to control. It's international waters and Oman will behave just like everybody. Everybody else who will have to blow him up.

They understand that. They'll be fine. I'm definitely noticed that as I've got an older, even a totally normal night out can throw me off the next morning. I'm not even talking about going crazy either, just dinner or a couple drinks with friends,

home at a reasonable hour, drinking water, doing everything, you know, right. And somehow I'd still wake up feeling foggy and sluggish the next day.

That's why I started taking Cheers Restore.

I got to say the difference the next morning really caught me off guard in a good way. I slept better, filled way more normal, and just had a lot more energy and motivation the next day. And what's cool is you just take it after your last drink or before bed and it works while you sleep.

Then Donald Trump says the man to my left referring to Hexip will finish Iran off. If they don't make a deal with me, to which Iran is not intimidated at all, here play this clip. Stay of the talks with Iran. I guess if it were a football field, but your line would you be on?

Well, I think we're doing very well. I think starting to give us the things that they have to give us. And if they do, that's great. And if they won't, then the man on my left is going to finish them off. And then Donald Trump just fell asleep while Hexip was talking.

Let's play this clip. And so whether it's their navy that's at the bottom of the Persian Gulf, their air force, their air defense is, or their defense and dust. And then Donald Trump says, you know, all of these Arab nations, they owe us. They owe us to become allies with Israel.

So I may not even do a deal with Iran unless the Arab nations become allies with Israel. So you went into this war because Netanyahu told you to go into this war when there was a deal in principle.

And now you're saying the only way you get out is if the Arab nations enter into the

Abraham Accords, which they none of them said they want to do until there's a Palestinian state established and recognized by Israel. Here play this clip. And we'd like to have the countries we were talking about with Saudi Arabia, UA, Qatar, and the others. We'd like to have them immediately joined the and see what coffers working

on that with Jared and some others, but would like to have them join the Abraham Accords. It'll be historic if they do it. And I think they, I think they owe that to us to be honest, I think, because that really would be a tremendous sign. And I think those countries owe it to us.

Now here's what we were hearing earlier from local reports.

The Fatux News Network had people on the ground. There's what they heard about these explosions being, uh, being heard time. One, thirty three. I'm local time for explosion sounds come from come one after another just now in Bondar Abbas.

Then they're speaking with each other. Hello, Mr. Baihi. Just now three explosion sounds Bondar Abbas at one thirty three. Just now three three explosions are sounding confirmed, confirmed over there. That's what was going on over there.

One more statement recently being posted by MB Gala Baffarun's parliament leaders, uh, kind of proxy spokesperson, uh, who says, we are facing a scenario of the greatest existential

Class clash in which occupiers military machine will break before what has bo...

longing for since the beginning of the battle.

The most likely scenario for the coming phase, American diplomacy will continue to stall

in maneuver as Senator Cory Booker noted, Trump's approach has strengthened Iran's position. Meanwhile the Lebanese battle field, this sector and its surroundings will witness the fiercest battles. We should not be surprised by the sheer scale of destruction that Israeli aviation will afflict on these southern villages to present a facade of victory to its public.

However, in return, the world must prepare for an Israeli military demographic shot. The death toll of the occupation army will multiply dramatically and scenes of burning will become a daily occurrence, even more dangerous in the environment in its terrain, rigged with deep ambushes may result in Israeli captives falling into the grip of the resistance. This is the scenario that will turn the negotiating tables upside down, forcing Trump and

Netanyahu to halt the war on the terms of the victorious access. So with those statements coming out from Mmbgala bough, we now learn about the strikes taking place by the United States military in Bondar, a bus region, which you see on the map right there.

Here's what Reuters is reporting.

The U.S. military has carried out new strikes in Iran targeting military sites and officials believe post a threat to U.S. forces and commercial maritime traffic in the strait of the war moves, a U.S. official told Reuters on Wednesday, the official who spoke on condition of anonymity said the U.S. military has also intercepted and shot down multiple Iranian drones that posed a similar threat.

Meanwhile, a representative of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khomei, said the following, negotiators to Iranian negotiators know that you represent a victorious nation. The enemy's plan is to pit us against each other during the war. We could have carried out heavier actions against America in the region, but because the people of the Middle East would suffer, the leadership did not agree.

So the question right now is we hear from Mmbgala bough spokesperson is will they now launch these strikes or will they try to continue to not escalate despite these U.S. strikes taking place? He arrested not to say something interesting. The fact that Trump has threatened to blow up Oman, a GCC member, state only confirms

that the security model, most Arab countries have long relied on, which consists of outsourcing their security to the United States through the establishment of American military bases, is deeply defective at its core.

In reality, this was never genuine security partnership, but a form of soft takeover that

is steadily eroded their independence and sovereignty. This arrangement was built on a false narrative and a mistaken threat assessment that portrayed Iran as the main danger to the region.

The truth is the primary actors threatening regional security are the United States in Israel,

attempting to revive the same model after the war would be of profound historical mistake by Arab leaders. Given that future generations are unlikely to forgive, I reported earlier, how the leader of Oman working further with the leadership of Iran right now in the straight of Hormuz furthering their relationships and we have seen Iranian leaders speaking with, for example,

leaders in Pakistan, foreign minister Iraq, she speaking with President Erdogan of Turkey. We've seen a lot of bilateral conversations, while Donald Trump has spent his time threatening the Arab nations, you need to join the Abraham McCords, become allies with Israel or else there will be constant war going on. Abstudulam Saleh of Saudi Arabia says regarding all of Trump's demands that Saudi Arabia

become part of the Abraham McCords, because we're surprised by such rhetoric directed at Saudi Arabia. This is not the approach the approach for which American diplomacy is known, but rather seems more like Netanyahu speaking from the White House, talking about the kingdom joining the Abraham McCords as if a were a mandatory directive does not reflect a language of respect

between nations, but rather a mindset that seeks to use Serp, sovereign decision-making, as Washington begun to lose its compass in the region.

I think they lost its compass in the region a long time ago, also losing its munitions

stockpiles, the AP reporting earlier today, but we've previously reported and others have

As well.

A new analysis says that the US may need three to five years to rebuild key missile stockpiles

heavily used in the Iran War, raising concerns about the readiness for a possible conflict

with China. The report says supplies of Tomahawk cruise missiles, Patriot Interceptors, and that systems were heavily depleted, even with increased defense spending under Trump, rebuilding inventories will take years because production capacity is limited, estimated recovery timelines, Tomahawk missiles 2030, that interceptors late 2029, Patriot missiles mid 2029.

So as the Trump regime is out there talking about restarting this war or Donald Trump's doing these threats and pretending there was a ceasefire when it's not the case, Americans have basically run out of munitions. Finally, should also be noted with the telegraph talked about earlier today that Iran says it will only sign a peace deal with the US.

If $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets are released, Tehran once $12 billion in upfront,

the other $12 billion in 60 days, because they believe if the United States doesn't unfreeze our money, we don't trust them at all.

We know that they're going to continue down this path, and so if you want to show a sign

of good faith, unfreeze $12 billion, then you can unfreeze another $12 billion in 60 days, then we'll open up the straight of Hormuz. But now with these latest military strikes, the question and the issue is what M. B. Gallaboff's proxies have released in the statement, which is, at this point, what is Iran doing response? Iran has been working with Arab nations and Iran's way to retaliate against the US would

be to strike those nations. So Iran's balancing that in terms of what their response is going to be. So we will keep you posted every step of the way folks, but things, of course, escalating. There isn't a ceasefire taking place, there's a war going on, and the Trump regime right

now continuing to show, I think, frankly, how weak and cowardly and pathetic Donald Trump

is, because, you know, he wants to see like a tough guy strike here, strike there, and just kind of continue to kick the can down the road, which means the American people are suffering right now, and the world is suffering right now, as a result of this

futureed regime, this futureed Trump regime, everybody hit subscribe, let's get to 7 million
