Trump's Iran Escalation Raises Fears of a Ground Invasion

preparing US special forces for a ground invasion of Iran as Donald Trump's continuous bombing

“campaign of Iran is not working and as Iran has responded very forcefully attacking US”

interests in the nearby Arab nations. If you take a look right here at the satellite image of the Oman port of Dukeum look at the Dukeum port in Oman you can see the special forces mothership belonging to the United States right here it's called the Ocean Trader in many ways it's hiding in plain sight when we saw Iran strike Dukeum port the other day in Oman lots of people were wondering well why were they doing that isn't Oman one of the previous mediators

why would they be striking Oman while they seemed to be striking at the area where the U.S. was positioning special forces for a potential invasion of Iran also we've been covering here on the mightest touch network how the U.S. supercarriers the Abraham Lincoln and the George H.W. Bush have positioned themselves around 250 kilometers from the coast of Iran also if you look at where the United States has been targeting in Iran and the types of radar surveillance and other

infrastructure that the U.S. has been targeting one would think that that could potentially be

trying to prepare the terrain for a ground invasion of ultimately Donald Trump decides to go

in that direction and he certainly appears to be getting more and more desperate and more and more volatile by the day which is saying something because he's a very desperate and volatile person I also want to point out something that I don't think a lot of people are paying attention to as well we're seeing a lot of top Russian officials flying to Iran right now some of the Russian

“airplanes that would normally be used by their top on-voys are heading to Iran as I think Russia”

is further preparing to help Iran in the event the United States does launch a ground invasion as we've seen Ukraine continue to strike deep within Russia with those F.P.1 F.P.2 and F.P.5 drones one of the things that informs us that Donald Trump is potentially preparing a ground invasion in addition to the areas where he's striking and it's been these continuous strikes which again appear to be setting the stage for a potential ground invasion you can see the desperation

of Donald Trump's other strikes grow and he's not striking the kind of coastline radar surveillance other weapons that kind of guard the coast the United States almost had a direct hit of the busher nuclear power plant take a look at this before and after right here of the busher nuclear power plant and US bombs came dangerously close to blowing it up the other night and so you take a look at the satellite image if there would have been a direct hit I mean we're talking just a

few kilometers away from being a direct hit there would have been a massive radiological disaster right there and just look at the but look like look how close it was right there also if you look at the type of locations the United States is hitting an addition to the busher nuclear plant we also see that the United States hit Iran's largest petrochemical hub in the masher kuzistan province that's Iran's main oil region a water pumping statement in misharr

in south western Iran was struck by air strikes by the US killing one and injuring four per the deputy governor there and then the US launched those other strikes around the coast and this desperation that we're seeing is also tied up with the strategic petroleum reserves I know I sounded like a broken record for the past two weeks but this is precisely when I thought was going to happen as the strategic preserve petroleum reserves now hit a level

“that would be deemed to be the estimated minimum operating level remember when I showed you”

this chart that Eric Nuttal posted why did he post this July 8th the US strategic petroleum reserve

is now 19 million barrels away as of July 8th from the estimated minimum operating levels

out of the straight because that strategic petroleum reserve feeds into the entire global

oil market and that's one of the ways that the Trump regime has tried to bring down the price of crude it hasn't brought down really the price at the pump because there are finer reprices and different price than the crude member I talked about the crack splits the other way that the Trump regime is trying to manipulate the price of crude it's through these short positions

“that I believe treasury secretary Scott Besant has been organizing with a lot of the kind of”

billionaires that he's been working with I mean take a look at this graph that AFI that HFI research posted they call it insane asylum and they write I know I'm not a normal person but I know I'm not

crazy what we are witnessing in the oil market today is history in the making we have never had

Brent short positioning this high and global crude oil inventories this low so unless there was this massive market manipulation why in the world would there be such a massive effort to do these shorts when it's so obvious that the straight of hormones is effectively closed and war is escalating and we've never had a situation where the strategic reserves have been this low in history but when you see that said come continues to post messages and says the straight of hormones is open

all of these ships are going out everything is amazing and then you see these short positions you see in my mind treasury secretary Besant the position of Sencom Brad Cooper and Howard Lutnik their fingerprints to me are all over this now one of the other aspects that to me informs that a ground invasion may be imminent as well is right now the Sencom commanders a guy named Brad Cooper Brad Cooper's mentor a former Sencom commander is a guy named retired general Frank Mackenzie

now he was on the various regime media programs this morning he was on face the nation on CBS as you know CBS has become regime media as well and he was endorsing the invasion and so to me it wasn't just that he was there randomly saying that CBS is state regime media that's used for floating these types of plans and this was a test bubble for the ground invasion you've got the special forces ready to go you've got the two carriers right there if you look at where the military is striking

on the coast that they've been doing every day again they're taking out the kind of radar systems

“to allow for the invasion a lot of day like that's what they're doing except unlike the day”

right now you know again there's massive casualties on the day but right now this is going to be sending our troops and our special forces into a meat grinder and there's just going to be mass death if this is what they end up doing but here is the current centcom's mentor Frank Mackenzie

retired general Frank for this guy's the former commander of Sencom here's what he had to say

I was just looking back at my last conversation on face the nation with Lindsey Graham and the senator said if this deal fails President Trump is going to take the straight of four moves over by force the U.S. will control the straight of four moves that was three weeks ago how does the United States end up controlling the straight of four moves? Well Margaret we certainly have the capability to control the straight of four moves if the

present chooses to follow that course of action like what he's been trying to do is get to a

“diplomatic and a political solution here which I applaud and I think we should all want to see”

is the final in-state nonetheless the fact of the matter is the Iranians generally only respond to military force into extreme pressure look what I talking about regime change here what we're talking about is modifying the views and actions of an extreme hard line regime that is possible we have the capability to do that that capability is resident the U.S. military should the president elect to employ it that would include opening the straight of hormones maintaining the

straight of hormones open and in fact season cargallon should we like to do that and I would just say as an aside that's something we should think about doing because possession of Iranian soil would be a significant factor in future negotiations with Iran so all those options are on the table I'm not sure where we're going to go with this but I do know we have these capabilities.

while all of this is taking place I mean let me show you the scenes of the war we could just run

“the b-roll folks here's smoke rising in manama barane after Iran's strikes several missiles launch”

from Iran right here into various areas Iran launched a large scale surprise attack on Kuwait earlier with three ballistic missiles directly impacting the U.S. attackms ground to ground missiles in Kuwait more strikes by Iran take a look over here Iran was able to hit numerous other you know U.S. military sites in the region as well Iran's IRGC announced full destruction of fuel tanks and Patriot air defense systems at the U.S. L. the Al-Salam Air Base in Kuwait and an

FPS strategic radar system at the Ahmed Al-Jibar Air Base in Kuwait in the third phase of its

“response last night Iran's IRGC announced the destruction of helicopter maintenance and repair centers”

at a PA electronic warfare aircraft hangar and the command and control center of the U.S. military drone fleet at the U.S. Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain I'll play this one for you Iranian Armed Forces launching their kamikaze drones at U.S. bases in the region let's play this one right here and then you've seen previously some of the photos of the fifth fleet in Bahrain

what that looks like after Iran was able to strike there but here's what Donald Trump is posting

all of this is going down he's posting this photo of Lindsey Graham it's a photo of Lindsey

“Graham who has you know died 48 hours ago or so Lindsey Graham is wearing a hat in this photo that”

says make Iran great again and he's holding Donald Trump's Wikipedia page with a hat that says make Iran great again Donald Trump is posting that he has a 59% approval rating is approval ratings in the 30s right now and then Trump says prices are coming down along with lowering of oil and gas by the way even with all those short positions that I talked about and even with the manipulation from the strategic reserve and our strategic reserve is now hit functional tank bottom where at the

emergency level the prices are going up right now for crude up 5% 7% over last night and they continue to go up as you know gas prices the price that you pay at the pump is going up Donald Trump posting these weird images of fighter jets and of the Katari Air Force one surrounded by fighter jets as he fears that Iran is going to kill him and then you know while he's posting that I mean you have these images of war the massive plume of smoke rising from Keshe Mile and near the

straight of her moves following the US air strike there and maybe one of the areas that the US is looking to evade large explosion reported after US air strike in Syrac the other night and so you know we'll keep you posted every step of the way of course but that's where we're at right now we're covering this from every angle giving you the data given you the facts
