00:00:00.800Iran is a nation of 92 million people.1.00
00:00:03.360Millions of the people of Iran do not want to live under these Islamist dictators who0.76
00:00:09.080murder and torture and oppress them.0.92
00:00:11.920We saw at the beginning of this conflict heroic protesters stand up.
00:00:22.320We know they won't comply with the deal even if they sign it.
00:00:26.440So the United States has to go into this clearly knowing full well, let's give this a try.0.94
00:00:32.140But if the Iranians don't cooperate here, then we have to go back to major combat operations.
00:00:37.560President Trump has said that the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports as well as the threat of further military action will be leveraged in any potential deal.
00:00:47.160So now let's get into what's happening on the Islamic regime.
00:00:53.540So Ted Cruz has now officially called on the United States to arm Iranian protesters and continue military and economic pressure on Tehran, saying Washington's objective should be the collapse of the Islamic Republic.
00:01:10.740i think our objective should be regime collapse kruz said on the school of war podcast adding
00:01:18.420that he had repeatedly urged president donald trump in israel to provide weapons to government
00:01:24.860opponents in iran arm the protesters give them the guns to let them overthrow their own government
00:01:32.140so that it's not american boots on the ground it's iranians fighting for their own country guys
00:01:38.980this is like this is music to my ears this is exactly what we Iranians have been saying and
00:01:46.080what we want right we don't want American boots on the ground not that we have anything against
00:01:51.820Americans we don't but ultimately regime change is a responsibility of the Iranian people now
00:01:58.740I mean if there's some sort of military way I mean I don't know I I'm not like a military
00:02:07.400strategist. I don't know how these things work. But what I can tell you from a geopolitical
00:02:13.280perspective is that when it comes to the military strategy and tactic against the Islamic regime,
00:02:21.840you already, America already has boots on the ground. The boots on the ground are the
00:02:27.660Iranian people fighting for our own country. And then number three, arm the protesters.
00:02:36.000This is something I've been calling for from the very beginning.
00:02:39.140Look, we're not going to send American boots on the ground.
00:02:42.400President Trump is not going to go down the road of the Iraq war and send hundreds of thousands of American soldiers into Iran.
00:02:51.580The obvious answer, Iran is a nation of 92 million people.
00:02:57.040Millions of the people of Iran do not want to live under these Islamist dictators who murder and torture and oppress them.
00:03:05.480We saw at the beginning of this conflict, heroic protesters stand up and the regime killed somewhere between 10,000 and 40,000 of them.0.92
00:03:14.800It is not fair. It's much higher than that, actually, but that's OK.
00:03:20.220And torture and oppress them. We saw at the beginning of this conflict, heroic protesters stand up and the regime killed somewhere between 10,000 and 40,000 of them.
00:03:31.840It is not fair to expect an Iranian citizen to fight with rocks against soldiers with machine
00:03:39.400guns. That's not a fair fight. What I believe we should do, what I've urged President Trump
00:03:44.480repeatedly, what I've urged Israel to do repeatedly, is arm the protesters, give them the guns0.70
00:03:50.700to let them overthrow their own government so that it's not American boots on the ground,
00:03:55.480it's Iranians fighting for their own country. Now, that was discussed several months ago,
00:04:01.300in particular, arming the Kurds. The Kurds have been loyal allies to us.
00:04:06.100Yeah, that's because, anyways, so he's referring to the Iraqi Kurds, and the only reason they
00:04:14.960were loyal allies is because they were fighting al-Qaeda. But if you want to know about the
00:04:20.460loyalty of the Kurdish separatist movements that are funded by the Soviets, go talk to
00:04:26.360the Yazidis because the Kurds were supposed to defend the Yazidis from ISIS but you know once
00:04:33.540the Kurds got the guns and weapons back then they basically abandoned the Yazidis and then the Yazidi
00:04:42.940genocide happened so the Kurds that Senator Cruz is speaking about are the Iraqi separatist Kurds
00:04:52.540Right? He's not speaking about Iranian Kurds.
00:05:22.540They've really been affected by theirars.1.00
00:05:24.680My destruction began to have these times build toward 40 years.
00:05:28.360By those essentially enough how they built their family together.
00:05:35.200It was regretful to my scholars who used to express their hearts in having them again.
00:05:42.660Now do you have to ask who it is Kha primeiro.
00:05:45.700And the Iraqi separatist Kurds are, they're communists, right?0.79
00:06:15.180they're funded and trained by the soviets or they they were like so their movements were created by
00:06:22.540the soviets and they're pretty much terrorists right um they're communist terrorists but again
00:06:29.500um the middle east is very complicated and the enemy of your enemy isn't necessarily your ally
00:06:35.260it's iranians fighting for their own country now that was discussed several months ago in particular
00:06:41.900arming the Kurds. The Kurds have been loyal allies to us in military conflict after military
00:06:47.620conflict after military conflict. And what was reported was Erdogan in Turkey, who despises
00:06:53.940the Kurds, convinced the administration don't arm the Kurds. My view, Erdogan can think whatever
00:06:59.860he wants. The Ayatollah has declared his intention to continue murder. So to be fair, the separatist0.82
00:07:09.680Iraqi Kurds are being persecuted, both in Iraq and in Turkey. But there are also a lot of like
00:07:19.920Kurds who live in Turkey, who aren't being persecuted, because they're not part of the
00:07:25.520separatist militia groups, right? So it's very complicated. Now, guys, Erdogan is not exactly a
00:07:30.840good person. Erdogan is a terrible person. He's part of the Muslim Brotherhood, right? So he's a0.99
00:07:36.180Durka as well. But, you know, just because there's like, you know, communist Durkas fighting Muslim0.81
00:07:43.860Brotherhood Durkas, it doesn't mean that one side is good and the other side is bad. It's literally
00:07:50.040like, this is what I'm talking about when I say it's like game of Durka in the Middle East. So
00:07:55.240just because different sides are fighting doesn't mean one side is good and one side is bad. So
00:08:02.360it's like the middle east is more complicated than that and i think one of the problems um
00:08:07.800with people who aren't from the middle east is they just assume that everything is black and
00:08:13.300white and it's not like you can have you can have two sides who are fighting um but both sides are
00:08:22.000not inherently good people right don't even get me started on um female genital mutilation within0.86
