This is a breaking news alert.

The strikes were conducted in the port of Kashem at Bounder Abbas and in Manab.

Sentcom is confirming state regime media, which calls itself Foxes confirming state regime

media, which calls itself CBS is confirming. We're also hearing from the Iranian Revolutionary

Guard Corps Navy, they're confirming that strikes took place by the United States and Iran is saying that they responded with strikes at two Navy destroyers, which Iran says is now leaving the area after trying to come into the straight of Hormuz. We are also hearing from various other Iranian news sources talking about retaliation now being expected from Iran. Let's just go through some of the facts folks about what's taking place.

So first we got the news from state regime media Foxing. The United States military just carried out strikes on Iran's Kashem port in Bounder Abbas. Senior U.S. officials were telling

Foxes, then Sentcom posted the following. Sentcom protects U.S. warships,

transiting the straight of Hormuz U.S. forces, intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks,

and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided missile destroyers, transited the straight of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman on May 7. The Iranian forces launched multiple missiles drones and small boats at the U.S. as trucks in the U.S. S. Raphael Paralta and the U.S. S. Mason transiting this international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck according to Sentcom. Iran seems to suggest that some U.S. assets were indeed struck.

Sentcom eliminated in Bound threats according to Sentcom and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces, including missile and drone launch sites, command and

control locations, and intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance knows. Sentcom does not see

gas escalation, but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces. And that's what

was stated by the Trump regime after these strikes. We just hit Iran, but we're not restarting the war. We don't want escalation Iran. Let's take a look at what Iran is saying just went down. The Iranian Navy says the following to their regime media. Following the violation of the sea fire and the aggression by the terrorist U.S. military against an Iranian oil tanker near the port of Jask and the approach of warships belonging to the terrorist U.S. military toward

the straight of Hormuz, a very large scale and precise combined operation was carried out various types of anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles, along with Kamikaze drones equipped with high explosive warheads, where launch towards enemy destroyers, those U.S. naval ships, intelligence monitoring indicates significant damage to the American enemy, and three invading enemy warships quickly fled the straight of Hormuz area. Now Iran's cotton out and biocentral ed headquarters

spokesperson said the following, the aggressive terrorist and pirate U.S. military violated the sea fire by targeting this Iranian oil tanker, traveling from Iran's coastal waters near the Jask toward the straight of Hormuz, a very similar message. So what seems like what went down is three, two to three U.S. destroyers went into the straight of Hormuz, then the Iranian navy saw these U.S. destroyers heading into the straight of Hormuz, open fire on the destroyers, the destroyers

returned fire, then there were strikes by the U.S. on the Keshim port, as well as in the Bunder Abbas area and in the Menab area. We know Menab as well because that's where the Trump regime massacred the little school girls at the beginning of the war, and then there was an open hostilities that took place here. According to Iran, the U.S. navy destroyers then exited the straight of Hormuz once they came under attack. Iran claims they caused damage. The U.S. says no

damage was done to those destroyers. Here's how state regime is now talking about it as Fox. A senior U.S. official tells me it was a U.S. military strike on Iran's Keshim port and Bunder Abbas moments ago. But added, this is not a restarting of the war or an end to the cease fire. Okay, the strike on one of Iran's oil ports comes two days after Iran fired 15 ballistic and cruise missiles at the U.A.E. Food Jair Report, a listening anger from Gulf countries after

top Pentagon leaders said Tuesday that the Iranian strikes did not rise to the level of breaking

The cease fire, calling it low level attacks that didn't rise to the level pa...

happening. Donald Trump announces Project Freedom. He says he's going to send destroyers into the

straight of Hormuz to escort tankers and cargo ships out. Trump tries to do that earlier in the

week. Iran stops them. Iran strikes the U.A. Vesselazouth Korean vessel as well as the Fugera port. Trump says Project Freedom is done and we don't believe this is a violation of the cease fire. American market start to do well on that news. Oil starts to drop Saudi Arabia and U.A.E. and Kuwait and others get pissed and say, okay, you're not going to do anything. Iran just started shooting at your destroyers and Iran just attacked the U.A.E. port. You got to do something.

Okay, Donald, we're going to block you from accessing United States air bases or air bases

under joint control or our air space in these Middle East countries. That became a massive headline

looked like made Donald Trump look so weak. Now he was now being blocked from these Middle East air bases.

So then I think Donald Trump's like, all right, all right, all right, all right. I'll send the destroyer.

We'll do it again. I'll send the destroyers in and in retaliation for Iran striking the Fugera port will will attack Keshim and will attack Bonda Rabas and Manab. Then can we have access to your air bases again because we learned bright before these U.S. air strikes took place. That Saudi Arabia Kuwait said, okay, we'll give you access back to the air bases and the air space and it was like, well, did they cut a deal? This seems to be the deal that was cut right here. It goes on to say,

a senior U.S. official confirms that the reporting that the Saudis and Kuwait is reverse course

on blocking Trump from their air bases in air space because Donald Trump basically just did this.

Then Fox confirms that senior U.S. officials are confirming that the U.S. military struck the Bondaar Cargon Naval checkpoint in Manab in response Iran's top joint military command says Iran will respond decisively and immediately after U.S. breach the ceasefire by attacking Iranian oil tanker near Jask and opposite Fugera while launching air assaults on civilian areas in Bonda, Comir, Sereq and Kashem Island in cooperation with some regional countries,

I.E.U.A.E. overtly Saudi Arabia covertly and Iran's Navy command confirms the same now. It may seem like a year ago, but it was only 48 hours ago that Axios' Barack Revede who, in my opinion, serves as Donald Trump's personal stenographer, wrote Scope the White House believes it's getting close to an agreement with Iran on a one-page memorandum of understanding to end the war and said a framework for more detailed nuclear negotiations. That didn't happen. Then Iranian broadcasts

called out Revede and said Axios reported five times in 19 days that a deal with Iran was imminent five times in no deal materialized. It appears that reporter Barack Revede along with friends in the U.S. government may be profiting from market volatility to which Barack Revede who's apparently very soft as well goes, this is a lot. Axios didn't report even once over the last three weeks that a deal was, quote, imminent. The Iranian regime at state TV and its bots and

influence accounts on social media are pushing this lie. Its regime propaganda don't fall for it or amplify it. I kind of know your post, though, man. We've kind of seen you posted. There's a deal. Maybe you didn't use the word imminent, but about to happen very close imminently. Use a lot of words like that in my opinion. And then over the past 24 hours, Donald Trump brought in those UFC fighters. He's like, oh, Iran wants to do a deal so badly here playing this clip.

And other moments where a deal is even plus. Well, why do you say they refuse to submit? You don't know that. You don't know what's going on behind you. And a few days ago, it's a long time ago. In the world of war, a few days ago, no, they want to make a deal badly. And we'll see if we get there.

If we get there, they can't have nuclear weapons. It's very simple. But what's not to submit?

So they had a Navy with 150-9 ships and now every ship is blown to pieces and lying at the bottom of the water. They had an Air Force lots of planes and they don't have any planes. They don't have any anti-aircraft. They don't have any radar left. The missiles are mostly decimated. They have something they're probably 18-19% but not a lot by comparison to what they had. And the leaders are all dead. So I think we won. Now it's only a question. If we left right now

Iran, it would take him 20 years to rebuild, he would call that, we're in goo...

We're good shape. And now we're doing well. Now we have to get what we have to get. If we don't

do that, we'll have to go a big step further. But when that being said, they want to make a deal. We've had very good talks over the last 24 hours. That is very possible that we'll make a deal. And you continue to reiterate that message playing this clip.

In the challenge of the market, and I think it's working very well. We're going to see,

I can't say this, Iran wants to make a deal. What I don't like about Iran is they'll talk to

me with such great respect. And then they'll go on television. They'll say, "We did not speak to the president. We did not, I just hope that we did not speak to the president." So they play games. Let me just tell you, they want to make a deal. And who wouldn't, when your military is totally gone, we could do anything we want to then. And now let me show you University of Chicago Professor,

John Mirchmeyer, here's what he says. And I think he's spot on on this analysis. Let's play it.

But we have got to find an additional way to the blockade to bring the Iranians to their knees. You know, the blockade alone is just not going to do it. So again, yesterday we tried to force the straits that did work. And maybe we'll try a bombing campaign again. And that will backfire big time, just as yesterday's events backfired big time. So there is no solution here with military

force. What you're going to have to do is work at a deal with the Iranians. And we of course can't

bring ourselves to do that because the Iranians have won. They've won a victory here. And if we sit down and negotiate a deal, it will become manifestly clear to anybody with a triple digit IQ that the Iranians won because Trump will be forced to make huge concessions in negotiating that deal. There you have it folks. Let me know what you think. We'll keep you posted every step of the way
