Learn English with Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter delivers an impassioned plea to the people of Iran and the world at large for the fall of the Islamic Republic of Iran. His speech was delivered in Tehran, Iran on January 20, 2020.
00:28:26.560It is a practical one, grounded in national interest, stability and cooperation.
00:28:34.800To achieve this, now is the time to stand with the Iranian people.
00:28:40.480The fall of the Islamic Republic and the establishment of a secular democratic government in Iran will not only restore dignity to my people, it will benefit the region and the world.
00:28:57.960A free Iran will be a force for peace, for prosperity and for partnership.
01:06:51.900by the way guys no offense to all the people from europe who are supporting our revolution
01:07:03.280Everybody in Europe who is supporting the Iranian people, this is not about you. This is not against you. This was for you. Princesa Pahlavi was talking to you because your politicians and your journalists are trying to hide the truth.
01:07:23.140So if you are European and you're here, you are on our side, you are in our army, and this is not at all against you.
01:07:35.520You are on our side and we are on your side, every single person in Europe.
01:07:41.300Not only this wasn't against you, Princess of Pahlavi was talking to you for you.
01:07:53.140People are putting one, but it's not showing up in the poll yet.
01:07:57.560I don't know what's going on with the poll.
01:21:29.340They're literally writing Jabit Shah death to Khamenei with their blood on the walls of Iran as they were being murdered by the Islamic regime.0.99
01:45:34.620been raised and arahshi is also seeking to take responsibility for the u.s negotiations uh
01:45:42.220file following balibov's departure right so guys look at this this is saeed jalili
01:45:50.620right up here okay do you know why he's extra durka do you know why he has extra durka because
01:45:58.620he's from the Pai Dari camp. This guy over here, okay? He's from the Pai Dari camp. So whatever
01:46:04.660the level of Durka Qalibov has, this guy has that times a thousand, times a thousand. And then
01:46:13.000more signs, let me see if I could, this shows up because I have more signs of division.
01:46:21.060Yeah, okay. This is actually saying the same thing. Iran negotiating head Qalibov quits,
01:46:27.760mohammed bagar galibov head of iran's negotiating team with the united states has stopped a step
01:46:32.140down amid internal disagreements iran international has learned according to information obtained by
01:46:37.740iran international oh yeah so i already read this was just the same thing but in uh persia so i have
01:46:43.720a lot more to talk about this uh to say i don't know if i'm gonna get going to be focusing on
01:46:50.820this because there's other information that i want to share with you as well but if you want
01:46:54.560to come talk to me about all of this again um i'm gonna go to our discussion group right now
01:47:00.480and the link is now in the chat also on liberty politics youtube channel in the live chat the
01:47:08.580link is pinned to the top so today guys today is open discussion so you could come in it's open
01:47:14.420to everybody if you want to come in and talk to me um and ask me questions and i'm going to be
01:47:20.060there for about two hours and then i'll come back and join goldie here and also guys in the
01:47:26.220discussion group once i leave you guys could continue the conversation with the rest of the
01:47:29.900community over there even after i leave so just wanted to let you know all right goldie before
01:47:35.100you go before you go uh i need you to translate this moto advesi meme really quick okay
01:47:42.860because motoid vc is a fan favorite so we need armin gpt to translate this so let me play it first
01:47:52.380and then we'll go back and you can translate wait let me just go to that
01:48:12.860So it's funny because, guys, let me give you the context.
01:48:19.200Because Murad Vaisi's analysis is so good that some Iranians are concerned that maybe the regime watches Murad Vaisi to figure out what to do.
01:48:33.680It's really similar, Armin, to what people tell you.
01:48:36.740Because sometimes people say to you, Armin, like when you're giving an analysis, people are like, Armin, don't give things away.
01:48:42.940Don't give things away like the regime might be watching.
01:55:15.420because there's literally, like, something called
01:55:18.120the Persian Gulf Veterans National Medal of U.S. Military.
01:55:23.240So Persian Gulf Veterans National Medal
01:55:25.820dedicated to the men and women of the US armed forces who served their country in the Persian
01:55:31.340Gulf conflict. So it's just a very bad policy, policy thing. And it's not a good look. It's not
01:55:44.640a good look at all. I don't know if he's doing it on purpose. I don't know if someone is sabotaging
01:55:51.700him by um putting that in his in his speech and he just reads it because he doesn't know any better
01:55:58.160but it's not a good look and this is one of the fastest and easiest ways to undermine
01:56:05.000this alliance and unity between Iranians and um and Americans right because the Persian Gulf has
01:56:14.960nothing to do with the Islamic regime right the Persian Gulf has existed for thousands of years
01:56:21.200and just because the islamic regime has occupied iran for the last 47 years
01:56:29.360that has nothing guys in fact the the islamic regime has an arab muslim mindset right so
01:56:36.980if anything calling the persian gulf the arabian gulf is helping the islamic regime
01:56:43.180it's because it's helping to erase the iranian identity so i just want to point that out
01:56:49.240because it's just it's not like a good tactical decision so that's upsetting a
01:56:56.920lot of Iranians and I don't know why he's saying that because in the past he
01:57:01.480did refer to it as the Persian Gulf so so what is the Persian Gulf called in
01:57:08.420the Persian language so we we call it Khalid Jafars Khalid Jafars Khalid
01:57:14.200means golf and farce is farce basically halidja parts so Persian basically parts
01:57:23.260is like the the Persian version Persian way to say Persian halidja parts so not
01:57:29.860a good look okay let's go to the the press briefing now
01:57:44.200well good morning unlike the endless wars of the past that dragged on for years and for decades
01:58:03.600with little to show for it operation epic fury has delivered a decisive military results in just
01:58:10.500weeks. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, as the president has pointed out, all took years,
01:58:18.580decades. Vague missions, shifting sands, little to show for it. Operation Epic Fury has been
01:58:25.980laser focused from the very start, as I've said to all of you. Clear mission objectives and
01:58:31.740ultimately Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. It's a bold and dangerous mission, a gift to the0.99
01:58:40.060world, historic, courtesy of a bold and historic president. That mission continues today in this
01:58:50.320new phase as Iran has an important choice, a chance to make a deal, a good deal, a wise deal.0.92
01:58:59.060As part of that effort, the United States has imposed an ironclad blockade that grows0.90
01:59:04.460more powerful by the day. From the Gulf of Oman to the open oceans, our Navy is enforcing this
01:59:12.100blockade without hesitation or apology. Now, as usual, there's a lot of false information out
01:59:19.160there. I'll say this, every ship, every ship that the U.S. believes meets our criteria,
01:59:25.700either Iranian ships or to and from Iranian ports, has been turned around. As of this morning,
01:59:33.22034 total. Non-Iranian vessels are allowed to transit, and many have, including overnight.
01:59:42.780Not only is the blockade growing, in fact, a second aircraft carrier will join the blockade
01:59:49.340in just a few days, but this growing blockade is also gone global. Just this week, we seized two
01:59:58.160Iranian dark fleet ships in the Indo-Pacific region that had left Iranian ports before the
02:00:04.740blockade went into effect. They thought they'd made it out just in time. They did not. We seized
02:00:11.340their sanctioned ships, and we will seize more. Our blockade is growing and going global.
02:00:21.180America's military is unmatched. Projecting power, denying passage to adversaries,
02:00:26.960and protecting our interest at the time and place of our choosing.
02:00:30.860No one sails from the Strait of Hormuz to anywhere in the world
02:00:34.200without the permission of the United States Navy.
02:00:37.620To the regime in Tehran, the blockade is tightening by the hour.
02:00:42.160We are in control, nothing in, nothing out.
02:00:47.080Iran's battered military, the IRGC specifically,
02:00:50.680has been reduced to a gang of pirates with a flag.0.54
02:00:54.700they cloak their aggression in slogans but the world now sees them for what they are
02:00:59.900criminals on the high seas they don't control anything they're acting like pirates acting
02:01:07.720like terrorists they're the ones who lay in discriminant minds who shoot at random ships
02:01:15.440who killed 45,000 of their own people innocent protesters in the course of weeks their own people
02:01:24.700they are the bad actors. The vessels that the Iranians seized in recent days, a couple of them,0.98
02:01:31.240they're not American ships. They're not Israeli ships. They're just random ships that drove,
02:01:39.140where they drove their little speedboats up to and shot at those ships with AK-47s.
02:01:43.720Anyone with a speedboat, a gun, and the wrong intentions can do that. They know that we,
02:01:51.540the United States of America control the flow of global shipping, and we know that they know.
02:01:58.140Their real navy is at the bottom of the Arabian Gulf. It's worth saying again, for 47 years,
02:02:05.800Iran has been at war with America, killing our citizens, our soldiers, and our allies,0.81
02:02:12.020while previous administrations looked the other way. The real endless war is the war that Iran0.98
02:02:19.280has waged on us for 47 years. President Trump is the only president with the guts and moral clarity
02:02:26.660to finally do something about it. I see it every day behind closed doors. President Trump's fortitude
02:02:33.380is unshakable and his mission is crystal clear. President Trump said it again yesterday. We have
02:02:40.940all the time in the world and we're not anxious for a deal. And I hear him say it every day
02:02:48.880in private as well. Iran knows that they still have an open window to choose wisely, as we said
02:02:55.120previously, choose wisely at the negotiating table. All they have to do is abandon a nuclear0.78
02:03:01.340weapon in meaningful and verifiable ways, or instead they can watch their regime's fragile
02:03:06.500economic state collapse under the unrelenting pressure of American power. A blockade as long
02:03:13.020as it takes, whatever President Trump decides. Because the bottom line remains the bottom line.
02:03:22.080Iran will never get a nuclear bomb. The choice is theirs, but with this blockade, the clock
02:03:27.760is not on their side. Moreover, President Trump has authorized the United States Navy to destroy
02:03:35.380any Iranian fast boats that attempt to put mines in the water or disrupt passage through the0.99
02:03:41.200Strait of Hormuz to shoot and kill. Our commanders have clear rules of engagement. If Iran is putting0.98
02:03:47.420mines in the water or otherwise threatening American commercial shipping or American forces,1.00
02:03:52.240we will shoot to destroy. No hesitation, just like the drug boats in the Caribbean.0.53
02:03:59.600It's also worth saying this should not be America's fight alone. We barely use the Strait of Hormuz as
02:04:08.360country our energy doesn't flow through there and we have plenty of energy just look at the new
02:04:15.960global congo line headed to texas a beautiful picture europe and asia have benefited from
02:04:24.520our protection for decades but the time for free riding is over america and the free world deserve
02:04:32.280allies who are capable who are loyal and who understand that being an ally is not a one-way
02:04:38.920street it's a two-way street we are not counting on europe but they need the strait of hormuz
02:04:46.760much more than we do and might want to start doing less talking and having less fancy conferences
02:04:53.320in europe and getting a boat this is much more their fight than ours on this core mission
02:05:01.960America's will is unshakable. Our capabilities unmatched. Our blockade is only growing and
02:05:07.720going global. And as the president said, we have all the time in the world. Iran has a historic
02:05:16.600chance to make a serious deal, and the ball is in their court. Either way, the War Department0.85
02:05:26.280stands ready for what comes next, locked and loaded. May God continue to bless our warriors
02:05:33.700each and every day and on each and every mission. Mr. Chairman, over to you.
02:05:41.400Thank you, Mr. Secretary. Good morning, everyone. Thanks for being here. Today marks 55 days since
02:05:46.260the President of the United States ordered major combat operations against Iran. Today and this
02:05:51.080morning, the Joint Force remains postured and prepared to recommence major combat operations
02:05:57.020on the order of the President. On April 8th, the President announced a ceasefire, and last week,
02:06:02.140at the President's direction and on order, the Secretary of the U.S. CENTCOM began enforcing
02:06:06.640a blockade against all commercial vessels going into and out of Iran and their ports.
02:06:13.840Simultaneously, the U.S. military, in support of the U.S. Department of Justice,
02:06:17.880was ordered to conduct maritime interdiction operations against sanctioned and dark fleet
02:06:23.860vessels globally. This operation also began on April 8th, and what I'd like to do this morning
02:06:30.680is update all of you on those actions and activities. First, as I mentioned, U.S. Central
02:06:35.740Command continues to maintain a strict blockade on all the ports. We're enforcing the blockade
02:06:40.980across the board against any ship of any nationality that is transiting to or from
02:06:46.880an Iranian port or territory. We're closely tracking vessels of interest headed towards
02:06:53.780Iran and those moving away from Iran that were outside the blockade area when this blockade was
02:07:01.160ordered. And as everyone saw this past weekend, we're prepared and postured to intercept them.0.99
02:07:08.220As of this morning, 34 ships have met the U.S. blockade and made the wise choice to turn around
02:07:16.560One ship did not, and that ship was the motor vessel Tuska.
02:07:21.900Over several hours this past Sunday, April 19th, the U.S. conducted maritime interdiction operations against the Tuska, whose crew attempted to breach the blockade line.
02:07:34.280The Tuska is a large container ship, about 965 feet long, or about the same size as a United States Navy aircraft carrier, and over 100 feet wide.
02:07:47.380The operation began about 4 a.m. Eastern Standard Time when the United States Navy destroyer approached her, and the crew and the vessel ignored warnings.
02:08:00.280And I've described how the destroyer force is operating in the area prior.
02:08:08.060Upon intercept and coming within visual range, American forces began to issue several clear and unambiguous warnings and inform the vessel and their crew that they were in a violation of the U.S. blockade and directed the ship to turn around.
02:08:25.820Over a six-hour period, the vessel and her crew repeatedly ignored U.S. warnings, and then the U.S. Navy destroyer executed a series of pre-planned, carefully calibrated escalation options, including firing five warning shots.
02:08:45.080The vessel and her crew continued to ignore warnings, and after exhausting all other measures, CENTCOM authorized disabling fire against the Tuska.
02:08:56.640U.S. sailors warned the crew of the Tuska to abandon the engine room, and at approximately 9 a.m. Eastern Time, the destroyer disabled the Tuska's engine by firing nine inert rounds from the destroyer's Mark 45 5-inch guns precisely into the engine room and engine space on board the Tuska.
02:09:20.480Not surprisingly, the vessel then reported issues with their engine, went dead in the water, and began to comply with U.S. directions and orders.
02:09:30.800At 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, CENTCOM ordered United States Marines to seize the ship.
02:09:38.640Via helicopters, U.S. Marines maneuvered quickly to the disabled ship, boarded her from fast ropes via helicopter infiltration methods, and took custody of the ship.
02:09:49.700The ship and her crew remain safe in U.S. custody today.
02:09:55.620Let me now turn to global operations in the Pacific, and I want to highlight that this is a major interagency effort between the United States military, the White House, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice.
02:10:09.460On Monday, April 20th, U.S. Indo-PACOM forces, in support of a Department of Justice request, interdicted the motor tanker Tiffany, which was transporting sanctioned Iranian oil.
02:10:23.900The Tiffany is a very large crewed tanker, VLCC for short, and is also about the size of a U.S. aircraft carrier and capable of transporting approximately 2 million barrels of oil.
02:10:39.440At approximately 11.30 p.m. Eastern Time, U.S. military forces and law enforcement forces also went to the ship via rotary wing platforms, fast roped onto her deck, and secured her.
02:10:54.600After the ship was secured, a U.S. Navy control team embarked aboard the Tiffany, Tiffany or Tiffany, and assumed control of the ship at 4 a.m. Eastern Time on April 21st.
02:11:06.940A Navy control team is comprised of sailors led by a boarding officer that assumes control of
02:11:14.320a sea ship in order to secure the crew, the cargo, and the vessel, and disposition of that first
02:11:20.900vessel is still pending. The next interdiction occurred on Wednesday, this past Wednesday,
02:11:27.30022 April, when Indo-PACOM conducted yet another interdiction, again at the request of the U.S.
02:11:34.360Department of Justice. This time the stateless motor tanker Majestic X, also known as the Ponix,
02:11:42.040also in the Indian Ocean. This is again a VLCC or very large crude tanker. At approximately 11
02:11:50.280p.m. Eastern Standard Time, U.S. forces began the interdiction, again using rotary wing assets to
02:11:57.920get to the ship, got on board and secured the bridge. Both ships, the Tefani, the Majestic X
02:12:05.120and their crews remain in U.S. custody and we will continue to conduct similar maritime interdiction
02:12:12.020actions and activities in the Pacific and Indian Oceans against Iranian ships and vessels of the
02:12:19.520Dark Fleet. The actions by our service members and our law enforcement partners demonstrate the
02:12:27.440incredible discipline and dedication and professionalism of our joint force and highlight
02:12:34.660the global reach of American combat power. The joint force remains on ensuring the Iranian0.96
02:12:41.560regime cannot harm our interests or those of our allies and partners. And I'll highlight
02:12:48.340that Iran has repeatedly sought to offensively and proactively expand the conflict by aggression0.54
02:12:56.760against its neighbors and its attacks on global shipping through the strait. To date, Iran has
02:13:03.280attacked five merchant vessels, seized two of them, that were attempting to transit the strait.
02:13:09.040And these include ships that Iran itself had cleared to proceed. Now, as I always do, I want0.59
02:13:16.360to honor members of the joint force. Today, I want to highlight and proudly describe the essential
02:13:21.400role of our intelligence enterprise and the role that they play in conducting our military
02:13:26.940operations. The totality of their work is the culmination of days, months, and in many cases,
02:13:34.360years of work by our uniform and civilian intelligence professionals. We have been able
02:13:40.820to do the work that we are ordered to do because America's intelligence force, including our core
02:13:47.040collectors and analysts have spent decades searching for every loose thread. From the
02:13:53.300determination of a particular intelligence requirement to that piece of intelligence
02:13:58.200being collected in the field by a military or interagency case officer to the rigorous analysis
02:14:04.560that goes into reporting on that finding, those team members spend their careers answering the
02:14:11.920incredibly important questions that we must attempt to answer before, during, and after
02:14:18.540operations. They live in the enemy's mind. Normally located behind the green door, behind the vault
02:14:26.480door, in dark windowless rooms across the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year,
02:14:34.580Our world-class intel members from DIA, our service intelligence components, NSA, NGA, CIA, NRO, and in the case of the operations that I've just described, the Office of Naval Intelligence all work tirelessly to sift through the mountains of collected information using tools, tactics, techniques, and procedures that I'm not going to discuss today.
02:15:01.160The sun never sets on these world-class professionals, and their goal is every minute of every day to be on the account.
02:15:09.700And they know the enemy. They know their combat capability, their weapons, their industrial and economic systems, and they know their leaders, their leaders' pattern of life, where they go, what they think, and what they do.
02:15:24.300Thanks to their work, we know Iran, and it is an incredible work that they do.
02:15:29.760Again, none of our operations that we've conducted during my time in this job could have been done without the service of these intelligence professionals.
02:15:39.120And the distance from those core collectors and those analysts to those Patriot crews who are defending U.S. forces forward or the fighter pilots is incredibly small.
02:15:51.160small. Every single day, as their motto say, they are committed to excellence in the defense of the
02:15:57.580nation and to securing the future, and they're doing the work of the nation. Before I close,
02:16:04.360as I do every time, I want to highlight and remember our fallen. Today, I want to highlight
02:16:09.260the 63 victims of the terrorist bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, which occurred 43 years ago,
02:16:17.160just a few days ago on April 18th, 1983. At that time, this was the deadliest attack
02:16:25.060on a U.S. diplomatic mission, and this was the first attack conducted by Iranian-backed forces
02:16:31.900on Americans. The suicide bomber detonated a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device out
02:16:39.020in front of the embassy, killing 63 innocent people, including 32 Lebanese, 14 visitors,
02:16:46.020and 17 Americans, and among those lost, members of the Joint Force to include three Army soldiers
02:16:53.400and one United States Marine. We remember their names, Sergeant First Class Richard Twine,
02:17:00.520Staff Sergeant Ben Maxwell, Staff Sergeant Mark Salazar, and United States Marine Corporal
02:17:07.500Vincent McMaw. Today, we remember them. We carry on their memory and the memory of all our fallen
02:17:15.080and remain grateful for their sacrifice and that of their families who continue to show us what
02:17:21.920courage looks like. As we continue to press forward and maintain these operations, the Secretary,
02:17:27.860the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and I are deeply humbled by the spirit, tenacity, and commitment,
02:17:34.400and grit of the 2.8 million members of our Joint Force. The Secretary and I thank every member
02:17:40.280of the joint force engaged in this operation, every warrior who remains deployed or who is
02:17:47.020supporting from here at home. Thank you and thank you to your families. Sir, I'll turn it back over
02:17:52.260to you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We'll take a few questions. Thank you. In your estimation,
02:17:58.880have there been increased or decreased instances of Iranian vessels either approaching or trying
02:18:05.060to breach the blockade the longer it is in effect. And another question about the mine threat.
02:18:11.760Has the mine threat been neutralized enough to facilitate freer flow in the Straits?
02:18:18.360Well, to the second question, first of all, we are seeing vessels transiting. There are paths
02:18:23.540that are open. And part of what the president is threatening is ensuring if there's attempts to lay
02:18:28.200recklessly and irresponsibly lay more mines, we're going to deal with that. It's a violation
02:18:32.460of the ceasefire. So transit is occurring, much more limited than anybody would like to see,
02:18:38.240and with more risk than people would like to see. But that's because Iran is doing irresponsible1.00
02:18:42.860things with small fast boats, crafts, like I said, with weapons on them. These are commercial ships,
02:18:48.960in some cases, cruise ships, cruise ships that came through being threatened by these. So as far
02:18:55.480as breaching the blockade, it's been a pretty consistent, there were a number of shifts at the
02:18:59.920beginning. Then you had the interdiction that the chairman described where we took out the engine
02:19:04.380room and disabled that ship. I think that sent a very clear sign that this is not a fake blockade.
02:19:09.440This is a real full blockade. We'll use up to and including lethal force if necessary. And that
02:19:15.260stopped and other ships have taken note of that. So any ships that have attempted, there's been
02:19:20.420levels of escalation, but none that far. And they've turned around. Absolutely. Yes.
02:19:25.180Good morning, Mr. Secretary, Mr. Chairman. David Zia, Real America's Voice. To follow up on
02:19:31.440Alexandra's question, how big are these mine laying boats? Can they be achieved from fast
02:19:37.300boats? And I wanted to follow up my last week question about as jet fuel stocks in Europe
02:19:42.680reportedly are only about six weeks left, they get most of the jet fuel from the Gulf. Have any
02:19:48.140European countries reached out to assist in coordinating off the strait and participating
02:19:53.180and escorts i know there's a lot of talks you saw the i would call it a silly conference uh in in
02:20:01.180europe last week where they got together and talked about talking about maybe doing something
02:20:05.500eventually when things are done uh those are not serious efforts yet we would welcome that
02:20:12.060we would welcome a serious european effort to do something about this strait and this passage
02:20:17.260considering it's their energy capabilities that are most at stake i think it's a wake-up call
02:20:22.380it's a wake up call for countries around the world either you have capabilities or you don't
02:20:25.820otherwise you're at the behest of a country like iran and the only country that can do something
02:20:30.700about it uh is the united states military you want to talk about the mines and the small crafts uh
02:20:35.820they have a variety of smaller boston whaler sized boats we have we have forces up there uh
02:20:42.220deterring and preventing them from continuing to do that and we'll continue to do so pursuant to
02:20:47.260the orders of the secretary and president but it would reckless mining like that is a violation
02:20:52.460unwise to do that and very unwise uh to do absolutely jerry uh thank you um so uh hopefully
02:21:01.100leo has made some strident comments about the war in iran and the u.s conference of catholic
02:21:05.980bishops recently put out a statement suggesting that the war does not fit the requirements of
02:21:12.060just war theory and i wondered if the pentagon had uh thought about uh this war against the
02:21:18.220terrorist regime in iran in terms of the framework of a just war and if either one of you could talk
02:21:23.260about that and then just my my second question would be um the pentagon recently this week uh
02:21:30.780gave well deserved award upgrades to the members of golf company 21 marines who served at h guy
02:21:39.420and abbey gate during the withdrawal and evacuation um i wonder if you you mr secretary
02:21:45.500could speak a little bit about that and maybe give us a little bit more in terms of um what to expect
02:21:51.820from this afghanistan review in terms of uh further proper recognition and proper accountability
02:21:59.340um on the first question pope's going to do his thing that's fine uh we know what our mission is
02:22:04.620We know what authority we have. We're very clear about that. We follow that. The orders of the
02:22:09.300president, we've got lawyers all over the place looking at what we're doing and why we're doing
02:22:13.760it and giving us every authority necessary under the Constitution and under our laws to execute it.
02:22:17.660So we feel very confident across the spectrum about what we're doing and why we're doing in
02:22:22.380the legal justification that we're following in order to do it. You mentioned the Marines at
02:22:27.800Abbey Gate. And what we've undertaken at this department is a historic Afghanistan review.
02:22:35.680So we have, over the course of months, reviewed what happened leading up to and including the
02:22:39.760events at Abbey Gate and the disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan. There's never actually been a full
02:22:43.500accounting in this department of the decisions that were made. There's been sort of papered
02:22:47.640over congressional attempts, but never a real deep dive where we brought everybody in to talk
02:22:53.140about what happened and why it happened. That has happened. That review will come later this
02:22:59.600summer. And I think you'll find it to be probably the most comprehensive review this department has
02:23:03.440ever done about a single series of events. And it's because the cascading effect of what Joe
02:23:09.060Biden did in abandoning that mission the way that he did, and that disastrous withdrawal had ripple
02:23:16.660effects for our military, for our country, and for the world. That's why reestablishing deterrence
02:23:22.040is one of the core pillars of what we've been doing at the war department is because the world
02:23:26.000looked at that disaster and made choices. Vladimir Putin made choices. Hamas made choices and saw
02:23:32.220that America wouldn't do anything about it. Houthis shot at ships. They made choices because
02:23:36.780Joe Biden and his administration were seen as feckless and weak. And that withdrawal was a part
02:23:42.540of what the world saw. People clanging to planes as we fled. That deserves a full accounting,
02:23:48.060which is exactly what we're doing. Sean Parnell, our chief spokesperson, one of my senior advisors
02:23:52.660has been leading that effort, getting to the bottom of it. And one of the revelations was
02:23:57.420that those Marines at Abbey Gate, who showed courage, who were out there exposed, knew there
02:24:02.960was a threat, nebulous mission, the only gate that's open, did not receive the kind of proper
02:24:07.920recognition they should have for their heroism. So one of the early results of this Afghan review
02:24:12.860is to ensure they get the due recognition and award they deserve for the heroism and courage
02:24:17.960they showed at that gate despite the bad decisions of this building and that administration
02:24:23.160those marines acted heroically and we're going to recognize them for that sure thank you yeah right
02:24:28.040here thank you michael casey with o'keefe media group um earlier this week james o'keefe published
02:24:33.080a story on department of army nuclear chief andrew hug who revealed top secret national security
02:24:38.520information to a stranger he met on a dating app will you defer mr hug for termination and
02:24:44.040prosecution yeah you won't work here anymore and um given the revelations will easy one
02:24:49.080will any change to be made to the current anti-espionage training for all department
02:24:52.200war employees now given this well we're always on the lookout for ci threats any internal threats
02:24:57.240anyone talking out of school about things they should not we take leaking very seriously here
02:25:02.680informally or formally which is why some of the reporting done by some of the people in here
02:25:07.400is incredibly problematic they're willing to publish things based on classified information
02:25:12.040that would potentially harm those in harm's way, and we think them doing so is incredibly
02:25:17.840irresponsible and unpatriotic. And I would encourage members of the press to think twice
02:25:22.120about the lives they're affecting when they publish things in their publications like the
02:25:26.880New York Times. Yes, right here. Was the Tuska carrying the use equipment to China?
02:25:31.960Sir, I'm sorry, the question's right here. Thank you. Ryan Morgan with the Epoch Times.
02:25:36.000Earlier this week on that topic, there was a report, I believe, with the Washington Post that
02:25:41.920the Pentagon had breathed Congress, that it could take up to six months to fully sweep the
02:25:48.520straightforward moves for mines. I was wondering if you could comment a little bit more on
02:25:53.620the specifics of the timeline, the range of time that it could take, and then just a general idea
02:25:59.880of how many mines have been placed. We would not speculate on a timeline. I saw that report. It was
02:26:05.500based on, again, another leak from a closed-door session, which was supposed to be classified and
02:26:10.560apparently, allegedly, that was something that was said about we feel confident in our ability
02:26:15.720in the correct period of time to clear any minds that we identify. I would encourage other
02:26:21.860countries to be a part of such an effort as well, but we're tracking that very closely. Mr. Chairman,
02:26:26.400do you want to add anything to that? No, sir. I think we covered it. Right here, new members of
02:26:30.320our press call here. Jacob Wasserman with TMZDC. We have two questions. I'm going to ask the first,
02:26:37.060my colleague will ask the second you know i've heard you talk a lot about sorry we'll see okay
02:26:44.340i've heard you talk a lot about bombing people in places and when you give these orders to carry out
02:26:49.780this extreme level of violence what's going through your mind and your body do you have
02:26:55.300like an adrenaline rush are you scared do you feel like you're on a power trip just walk us through
02:27:01.060and paint us a picture of what it feels like mentally and physically it's a very tmz question
02:27:05.940my only thought process is to ensure that our warfighters have everything they need to be
02:27:12.220successful, defeat and destroy the enemy, and they come home. I want them to feel empowered
02:27:18.160to have every authority they need within our rules and within our law to bring maximum violence to
02:27:24.760the enemy because war is violent. War requires doing difficult things, but I want our people
02:27:31.520to feel empowered so it's our guys that come home and they're guys that do not sure i'll give you
02:27:36.320one chance charlie cotton from teams edc uh you changed the department of defense to the department
02:27:43.520of war would you consider changing the name again to the department of peace since that's what we're
02:27:50.640all after well that's the pursuit it's a great question actually uh you go from defense to war
02:27:56.400because you want to be proactive about peace through strength and and and really i gave a
02:28:01.120speech in front of generals about what what the ethos of the war department is all about because
02:28:05.360i wanted to go through every echelon of this department it means something it's not just words
02:28:10.160and when you fight a war the right way the idea is on the other side you bring about peace that
02:28:15.760is what we'd like to see the most in fact i once did a video about the the one institution that
02:28:20.640should win the nobel peace prize every single year is the united states military because we
02:28:25.600are the guarantor of the safety and security not just of our country but of a lot of people in this
02:28:30.880world. Last question. Yes, sir. Thank you very much, Mr. Secretary. I do appreciated your time.
02:28:36.880Since February 28th, 725 drones and missiles have hit the Kurdistan region as your loyal ally,
02:28:47.520killing 22 people and injuring 100 others. Even after the ceasefire, Mr. Secretary,
02:28:57.28020 more attacks were carried out my question is those that cease fire include iraq and the
02:29:07.200kurdistan region and really what is your clear policy to our praxis why i am asking this question
02:29:16.160by president masoud barzani statement five times targeting his office even targeting president of
02:29:24.480Kurdistan region residents in the whole city we watch it very closely and and that area and those
02:29:31.440those folks the Kurds deal with a lot of what the IAMGs or the proxies are capable of doing and a0.71
02:29:37.600reminder of the reverberating fact of this Iranian regime it's not just what it does to its own0.93
02:29:42.720people killing 45,000 of its own citizens just recently but it's also the terror they've brought0.98
02:29:48.240to the region and so getting a good deal and making sure they can't wield a nuclear weapon0.82
02:29:52.240over top of those proxies is why this mission is such an important one thank you very much
02:30:04.160so interesting um interesting that uh they're providing an operational update during a ceasefire
02:30:12.880right it kind of makes me think that things might be happening who knows but i mean department of0.94
02:30:19.360piece is stupid why would you not call it the department i like the department of war yeah0.98
02:30:24.720call it the department of war because that's what it is right like what are these like weird lefty1.00
02:30:31.360tiktok questions so anyways um so i received a request from one of our viewers and i just wanted
02:30:39.280to talk about this uh really really briefly um i just i just happened like guys i don't i don't
02:30:45.860check the discord very often okay so um i know a lot of you have joined the discord um and the
02:30:53.040discord is basically a community for you guys to keep the conversation going when when the live
02:30:58.800stream isn't happening and you guys aren't able to to chat in the live stream and you know i've
02:31:02.800made this um at your request it's basically a community for you guys and of course everyone's
02:31:08.360welcome to join the discord as long as you're not like a jihadi or a terrorist um but it's not
02:31:12.960something that i'm really running you know i have um some admin and i have mods and they're helping
02:31:18.460me out there um so i don't really check the discord very often because it's just there's so
02:31:24.180many other things that i'm doing you know i try to pop in once in a while but i did manage to i
02:31:29.000just happened to check it briefly and um uh one of our amazing um um i'm assuming i mean i'm assuming
02:31:40.040he's armenian but i'm not sure but uh he asked me to it's so it's the official mr thorn
02:31:46.680on discord i'm not sure what his um account is on on the youtube or rumble or wherever
02:31:53.860but uh he made a very important request um said since today it's the armenian genocide memorial
02:32:02.220day i was wondering if you would recognize the 1.5 million armenians massacred by the ottoman
02:32:09.020empire as a genocide a hundred percent um i've always called it the armenian genocide um it's
02:32:16.260always something that that i've said i've spoken about the armenian genocide um before raised
02:32:22.340awareness about it um and so just you know just just to speak about i just want to raise awareness
02:32:28.540about that for a little bit um before we continue because guys so like um i just wanted to like it's
02:32:35.960So I just want to say that, you know, there's a very long history between Armenians and Iranians as well.
02:32:46.900We have an amazing Iranian-Armenian community.
02:32:51.800You know, they view themselves, you know, those who live in Iran or, you know, have been living in Iran for a while.
02:32:58.260Basically, you know, we're all Iranian first, right?
02:33:00.380And that includes our Iranian-Armenians.
02:33:05.960and you know they speak Armenian as their first language actually um some of some of my very very
02:33:11.880close family friends are um Iranian Armenian and uh you know they're uh they're Christian
02:33:20.680and they were you know basically like my family right like I you know uh I called them aunt and
02:33:27.080uncle and uh you know like the the elders they were they were basically my grandparents so
02:33:32.600you know at a time when i was living in you know you know when i was a child in canada um i never
02:33:38.760grew up around my grandparents like my my um uh blood related grandparents but um i basically
02:33:46.760you know was adopted so i actually did have grandparents um they were iranian armenians and
02:33:53.640they were they were amazing and um gave me you know the the best the best childhood memories
02:33:59.080Right. Like so even though I wasn't able to, you know, grow up around my grand, my maternal and paternal grandparents, I still did have that grandparent experience because of, you know, our very, very close family friends who were in fact Iranian Armenians.
02:34:19.060And so I just want to talk a little bit about this.
02:34:22.340So Armenians have lived for millennia in the territory that forms modern day Iran.
02:34:28.500Many of the oldest Armenian churches, monasteries and chapels are in Iran.
02:34:35.840Iran has one of the largest populations of Armenians in the world, although, of course, after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, things changed a little bit.
02:34:45.440Since antiquity, there has always been much interaction between ancient Armenia and Persia.
02:34:52.760Armenian people are among the native ethnic groups of northwestern Iran, having millennia-long recorded history there.
02:35:00.300So there's always been a very, very close connection and relationship between Armenians and Iranians.
02:35:08.460And, you know, for those Armenians who live within the, you know, the borders of Iran, of course, they, you know, just like the rest of us, view themselves as Iranian first.
02:35:20.900And we have, you know, some amazing, amazing Iranian Armenians.
02:35:26.020Of course, the most famous one is Vigin.
02:35:28.680and so during the Armenian genocide about 50,000 Armenians actually fled the Ottoman Empire and
02:35:39.660took refuge in Iran so you know Iran has all and this goes back to what King Reza Pahlavi was
02:35:47.020saying yesterday in the press conference where you know when when he said when he was speaking
02:35:52.780about the Jewish people and he said you know during World War II you know tens of thousands
02:35:58.180or I think over like 100,000 Jews, escaped Nazi Germany and sought refuge in Iran.
02:36:05.780And he said, you know, Iran has always been a place where persecuted people can go to seek refuge.
02:36:13.380No different with Armenians during the Armenian genocide.
02:36:19.420Many, many, you know, at least 50,000 came to Iran.
02:36:24.460um and i do have this short clip as well that i would like to play and yes of course system of a
02:36:30.980down literally system of a down one of my like all-time favorite bands i love love love system
02:36:36.860of a down i've been to their shows um i went i think it was like it was like i can't remember
02:36:44.480when it was like 10 years ago or something um they had like a they had a an anniversary tour
02:36:51.520for I think it was like the 100 year memorial of the Armenian genocide. They, you know, they
02:36:58.900reunited and they did a tour. So yeah, I love System of a Down. I went, you know, to that. So
02:37:06.340I found, I found this eight minute clip, news clip about the Armenian genocide. So I think,
02:37:15.580you know in honor of uh remembering the 1.5 um million um armenians who who were massacred by0.70
02:37:24.620the ottomans and again guys like you know for for anyone from turkey who's watching this isn't like
02:37:30.620i'm not getting involved in like internal domestic politics um this isn't uh you know i'm not
02:37:37.360attacking people from turkey um this is you know this is government government stuff so um but i
02:37:45.500it's important that we do recognize the Armenian genocide. I've always recognized the Armenian
02:37:51.740genocide, and I think it's important that everyone does. So yeah, let's just play this
02:37:59.420for, you know, in honor of today being the memorial day for the Armenian genocide.
03:06:47.680from 2013? Some people are saying this is from 2013. Okay, it could be. I don't know.
03:06:55.500All I know is this is very old. The video was published recently, but his words are old.
03:07:17.680He passed away in 2019. He passed away in 2019. So he's been gone for a while. And we
03:07:35.380miss him very much, but we always go and we watch his political analysis because it's
03:07:40.380like everything that he said is pretty much coming true.
03:07:47.680Guys, look, he's even saying, he's like, he's like, the Americans, the Americans are playing with another card and they're always fooling you, right?0.57
03:08:07.920So, when he says fooling you, he's referring to the Islamic regime, right?
03:08:12.360so he's basically saying you know like like the americans always have like a card like an ace up
03:08:17.720their sleeve and what they're presenting you with is not necessarily what's actually happening behind
03:08:24.680the scenes so he's basically saying like all like everything that the united states is doing
03:08:29.880is basically meant to confuse and fool the islamic regime
03:08:34.200whoa so guys in 2019 in 2019 he's saying that what's going to make um what's going to make
03:09:02.280it possible to go after the Islamic regime is getting rid of Bashar al-Assad. And that's exactly
03:09:10.300what happened. So, you know, was it last year? A couple years ago? Right? Bashar al-Assad was
03:09:18.220overthrown. And yeah, he mentioned President Trump, because his prediction was that President
03:09:24.420Trump is going to overthrow the Islamic regime. That was his prediction. Yeah. Yeah. He, he0.88
03:09:32.620mentioned, he mentioned, he, he mentioned Trump and Bolton. Yeah. Right. He said, this is not the
03:09:39.520work of Mr. Trump or Bolton. Right. So, so he, yeah, he, he basically he's saying like, this
03:09:47.040is how president Trump was going to over. Oh yeah. Oh, I'm telling you guys these, he's literally
03:09:51.620our modern day nostradamus when it comes to geopolitics everything that he's saying uh
03:09:57.300has come true i don't know i don't know i don't know how he knew these things guys i don't know
03:10:21.620He's even speaking about how Bashar al-Assad is going to be eliminated and Syria is going
03:10:43.800to be like Bashar al-Assad is going to be overthrown and Israel is going to destroy Hezbollah
03:10:49.520and then by by you know overthrowing Bashar al-Assad in Syria that's going to pave the way0.77
03:11:55.600Well, not two arms, but he's like, so he's referring to the Islamic regime.
03:12:09.640He's like, you know, this ideology of like resistance and jihad, that's not even worth like two cents.
03:12:16.520So he obviously hated the regime just like everyone else.
03:12:25.600oh my god guys that's exactly what's happening
03:12:55.520right now that's exactly what's happening right now so so basically he's he's saying this is so
03:13:03.960he's like this is the strategy to overthrow the islamic regime he's like you know you enter so
03:13:09.300when he says you enter like he's you know referring to the united states right he's like0.55
03:13:12.480you enter into negotiations you you come to a conclusion you force them to surrender guys this
03:13:18.920is what i have been telling you from the beginning the only deal that president trump is interested
03:13:24.720in is unconditional surrender. Unconditional surrender. That's the deal that President Trump
03:13:31.560wants. So he's like, you know, America, you know, enter into negotiations, come to a conclusion,
03:13:36.860force them to surrender. You know, take their missiles away from them. Hand over a few generals,
03:13:46.360which by the way, guys, that's what happened because Qalibaf allegedly, Qalibaf allegedly
03:13:53.660gave away the positions of Lani Jani and a whole bunch of IRGC commanders to the US and Israel,
03:14:00.700allegedly, in order to gain favor with President Trump and Bibi Netanyahu, right? So hand over to
03:14:07.740generals, right? Disrupt the power structure, guys. Right now, the entire news cycle is about
03:14:17.260the factions, right? The power struggle within the Islamic regime.
03:14:23.660And then he's like, and that's when the game begins, right?
03:14:27.800So Abul Manuk is basically saying, you know, you enter into negotiations, you force them to surrender, you boom-boom a bunch of their generals, you cause an internal, like, internal divisions, you cause chaos, you force them to, you know, hand over their missiles.
03:14:47.320And he's like, and after you've done all of that, that's when the game begins, right?
03:14:53.660Like, isn't that insane? Isn't that crazy? Like, he was talking about this stuff like over a decade ago. Over a decade ago.
03:15:09.660Trump wasn't even present back then. Yeah. Guys, this is what we love. I'm alone.
03:15:17.660Right? So he's saying, I don't understand why everyone's panicking when, you know, he
03:15:33.080says we have to negotiate. He's like, of course, of course they need to negotiate because the
03:15:37.820negotiation is what's going to lead them to collapsing. Oh, is it? Okay. This is during
03:15:45.620trump presidency so this would have been what 2016 or something is it okay so okay so this
03:15:53.300is when president trump was president okay his son said it was 2013 but i guess it's not 2013
03:15:58.340so it's probably this was sometime between 2016 and 2019 i don't know the exact date
03:16:03.940so he's saying guys do you remember what they did to saddam they negotiated with him and then they
03:16:23.940went and they captured him and then you know they basically executed him so he's like so please like
03:16:33.700understand the game, understand the political game that's happening here.
03:16:38.340okay guys so um that is our famous iranian american number three
03:17:08.340Um, if you want me to play the full clip, um, what I'll do is when Armin comes back, um,
03:19:33.000okay for the iranians telling me to go watch his video guys i've seen all of his videos i've seen
03:19:56.440all of his predictions why do you think i'm sharing some of his stuff
03:19:59.320Oh, Amu Monok is great. Believe me, I've seen all of his videos and all of his predictions.
03:20:07.480Okay, so this is what Monok Khodobakshion is saying in this short clip here. So he says,
03:20:15.780everyone says that the Soviet Union was the number one enemy and they used to call it the evil empire.
03:20:20.920But Reagan negotiated with Mr. Gorbachev three times. In one of the most important meetings,
03:20:27.740they even discussed ideology he went to moscow okay they even stood alone together in a forest
03:20:35.020reagan and gorbachev and reagan proposed let's eliminate all nuclear weapons so this shows that
03:20:41.180it's all a game a process and then he says mr trump will follow the same kind of process
03:20:49.100at the same time while keeping the regime under pressure what guys this important part this important
03:20:55.340part at the same time while keeping the regime under pressure he will carry out side plans
03:21:05.180target certain sites and eventually a group will bring down the regime so so the deal with
03:21:13.420so deal with the us more intelligently what should be done how much further can this go
03:21:18.860and then someone's like um someone asks him the one question i've been asking myself for four years
03:21:24.380And he says, the question I've been asking myself for 40 years is this, the Soviet Union had some of the best chess players in the world. So why did they lose? Because sometimes the game is played in a way that makes you think you understand it, when in reality, you are being outplayed.
03:21:43.720So what is saying here is that he believes a strategy that President Trump is going to use is going to be one that's going to ultimately like outplay the Islamic regime.0.93
03:21:55.900And, you know, whether or not they agree to surrender or whether they don't agree to a deal, they're done anyway.0.97
03:22:03.900So that's what that's that's what that's what happened there.
03:31:01.560And the ceasefire and the blockade is actually dividing them
03:31:04.580and is turning them against each other.
03:31:07.360And that's why the blockade and the ceasefire is working very well so far.
03:31:11.160It's actually a very efficient, less costly way for President Trump to harm them
03:31:16.980without the cost of the military operation and without the risking american lives it saves it
03:31:22.500president trump prefers this method because it saves the infrastructure of the iranian people
03:31:26.900for the iranian people um and and and if it's turning the regime against itself then why why
03:31:33.620stop why give an excuse for a unity with with the regime followers why stop them when they're
03:31:38.900fighting against each other so and it's also gonna it's really getting them oh my gosh
03:31:44.260arvin is a wealth of knowledge and information but he needs to slow it down and take a breath
03:31:52.720because he's just like goes on this rant listen everything he's saying is a hundred percent a
03:31:57.980hundred percent accurate but for people who like like you guys because you guys have been watching
03:32:04.760the live stream for like the last 118 days you guys know everything that's going on but for
03:32:09.800people who are new to this right like he has to take a little bit of a break but it's it's really
03:32:18.760good like it's very very informative complete bankruptcy very soon if it's successful
03:32:27.160well certainly the window of time for iran to hold out the regime to hold out here is closing but
03:32:33.960i wanted to raise another yeah see like this is this is this is exactly it right
03:32:39.320so andrew's saying he did great we followed this but it would exactly so um the thing when it comes
03:32:45.560to like you know uh news interviews you have to know your audience so um arm in arm in here like
03:32:54.360amazing like everything is 100 but because you know what you know what i'm actually gonna blame
03:33:01.240you guys. I'm blaming all of you. I'm blaming you guys who are watching for this. You know why?
03:33:09.480I'll explain why. Because you guys have spoiled me and Armin. Why? Because you guys are incredibly
03:33:17.720smart and intelligent. And because you have been following along with everything that we're saying,
03:33:24.440you guys already know everything that's going on. So, you know, Armin can just,
03:33:29.800yeah it's your fault armin can just like say something and he can go on a rant because he
03:33:34.680knows that you guys get it because he knows that you guys already know the context you know you
03:33:40.840know everything that's going on behind the scenes you guys know you know everything that's going on
03:33:46.360right so you guys have spoiled him it's your fault because now armin has forgotten that when
03:33:55.400he's on like a media he's dealing with a new audience so he has to like go back to like the
03:34:02.760101 so i'm blaming you guys you guys are too smart yeah we love you guys we love you guys
03:34:12.600oh yeah i'm blaming you all so that's all it is that's all it is like that's one of them that's
03:34:19.400one of the uh you know important things about media interviews is you have to know your audience
03:34:23.720so armin armin is assuming that the audience who's going to watch this news clip is as smart
03:34:31.320as you guys right he's he's assuming that the people who are going to be watching that interview
03:34:36.600are as smart and intelligent and knowledgeable as you guys which is why you know this is happening
03:34:43.320but other than that like it's fantastic but you're right like if this was you know for
03:34:47.720someone who's not who's not familiar with what's going on um it could seem a little bit overwhelming
03:34:55.400their item that just came out in the last few hours president trump took to truth truth social
03:35:03.320and he's been advocating for a few days now for the regime to um to put off the execution
03:35:12.040of eight iranian women protesters he posted he reposted a picture of all of them urging the
03:35:18.680regime to to cease their plans to execute these women and he posted earlier today good news i have
03:35:25.480just been informed the eight women protesters who are going to be executed tonight in iran
03:35:30.200will no longer be killed um do we know that for sure we don't know that for sure but but the the
03:35:39.320The fact that these women are now—like, we know that President Trump has saved these women for now.
03:35:45.480It's possible that the Islamic Republic might want to execute them later.
03:35:48.840But it is true that President Trump so far has saved these women's lives.
03:35:52.900And it shows that President Trump is concerned about the Iranian people.
03:35:58.540Nobody is—like, other people are not paying attention to the suffering of the Iranian people.
03:36:04.680And President Trump brings the attention of world media back to it every single time.
03:36:08.580And by President Trump talking about these women, he's not just saving these women's lives, he's bringing the attention to the brutality of the Islamic Republic as a whole.
03:36:17.920So many people dismiss, so many people talk about everybody except the Iranian people and their suffering.
03:36:23.620And President Trump does a really good job bringing the attention back to that, but every time he highlights that.
03:36:29.940Like, it's really easy to dismiss the Iranian people because they're not armed.
03:36:32.960everyone else, like Americans are armed, Israelis are armed, Hashtag Shabbi is armed, Hezbollah is
03:36:39.260armed. So they're always part of the conversation. But it's really easy for people to just forget
03:36:43.520the Iranian people. And we're just so grateful to President Trump for bringing that attention
03:36:47.460back to them, which is also a reminder for how ridiculous it is for people to suggest that
03:36:52.480President Trump wanted to do a genocide upon the Iranian people because of the comment he made
03:36:57.360regarding ending the civilization. It's very obvious he was talking about the Islamic regime,
03:37:01.240given how much concerned he is about these eight women and how much he's trying to avoid destroying
03:37:06.860the infrastructure, it does show that President Trump does care about the Iranian people and wants
03:37:11.780to find a way to do all of this without hurting them. Everyone's on pins and needles awaiting
03:37:20.040what happens in the next chapters, who emerges as the faces of who we are negotiating with,
03:37:25.520But at least in terms of these eight women, it's to your point, President Trump is talking about them and he may well have saved their lives.
03:37:34.620Armin, Navabi, thank you very much for the time.
03:37:38.240One last thing is that we need to continue talking about these women because the only reason why the Islamic Republic has not executed them is because the international attention.
03:37:49.100But if the international attention stops, they might get executed.
03:37:52.400so just want to say continue talking about them and thank you president trump and thank you for
03:37:56.560having me coming up we continue to highlight oh that was amazing i'm so proud of armin that was
03:38:03.520so good oh armin you do us proud wait why did i just repost this let me quote this
03:49:12.060Get ready for a coup d'etat, one led by defectors inside the regime coordinated with Israel or the United States0.94
03:49:19.260and purge the hardliners and their Basijis.
03:49:23.620So this is, again, the assessment of some of the people inside the regime who are so paranoid, everybody's so paranoid, that not only they're blaming each other, they now think that, there we go, we've got the Secretary of War.
03:51:32.560In fact, a second aircraft carrier will join the blockade in just a few days, but this growing
03:51:39.640blockade is also gone global. Just this week, we seized two Iranian Dark Fleet ships in the
03:51:47.720Indo-Pacific region that had left Iranian ports before the blockade went into effect. They thought
03:51:54.260they'd made it out just in time. They did not. We seized their sanctioned ships, and we will
03:52:01.140sees more. Our blockade is growing and going global. America's military is unmatched,
03:52:11.200projecting power, denying passage to adversaries, and protecting our interest at the time and place
03:52:16.720of our choosing. No one sails from the Strait of Hormuz to anywhere in the world without the
03:52:22.440permission of the United States Navy. To the regime in Tehran, the blockade is tightening by
03:52:28.020the hour. We are in control. Nothing in, nothing out. Iran's battered military, the IRGC specifically,0.90
03:52:37.640has been reduced to a gang of pirates with a flag. They cloak their aggression in slogans,
03:52:45.140but the world now sees them for what they are, criminals on the high seas. They don't control
03:52:51.480anything. They're acting like pirates, acting like terrorists. They're the ones who lay
03:52:58.200indiscriminate minds, who shoot at random ships, who killed 45,000 of their own people,
03:53:07.600innocent protesters in the course of weeks, their own people. They are the bad actors.0.83
03:53:14.660The vessels that the Iranians seized in recent days, a couple of them, they're not American ships.1.00
03:53:19.500they're not Israeli ships they're just random ships that drove where they drove their little
03:53:27.440speedboats up to and shot at those ships with AK-47s anyone with a speedboat a gun and the
03:53:33.920wrong intentions can do that they know that we the United States of America control the flow0.67
03:53:41.260of global shipping and we know that they know their real navy is at the bottom of the Arabian
03:53:47.800Gulf. It's worth saying again, for 47 years, Iran has been at war with America, killing our0.96
03:53:56.700citizens, our soldiers, and our allies, while previous administrations looked the other way.0.94
03:54:03.000The real endless war is the war that Iran has waged on us for 47 years. President Trump is the0.54
03:54:11.080only president with the guts and moral clarity to finally do something about it. I see it every day
03:54:17.640behind closed doors. President Trump's fortitude is unshakable and his mission is crystal clear.
03:54:24.900President Trump said it again yesterday. We have all the time in the world and we're not
03:54:31.680anxious for a deal. And I hear him say it every day in private as well. Iran knows that they
03:54:39.320still have an open window to choose wisely. As we said previously, choose wisely at the negotiating
03:54:45.080table. All they have to do is abandon a nuclear weapon in meaningful and verifiable ways. Or
03:54:51.640instead, they can watch the regime's fragile economic state collapse under the unrelenting
03:54:56.180pressure of American power. A blockade as long as it takes. Whatever President Trump decides.
03:55:05.440Because the bottom line remains the bottom line. Iran will never get a nuclear bomb.
03:55:10.580The choice is theirs, but with this blockade, the clock is not on their side.0.94
03:55:17.660Moreover, President Trump has authorized the United States Navy to destroy any Iranian fastboats that attempt to put mines in the water or disrupt passage through the Strait of Hormuz to shoot and kill.0.69
03:55:30.240Our commanders have clear rules of engagement.0.98
03:55:33.900If Iran is putting mines in the water or otherwise threatening American commercial shipping or American forces, we will shoot to destroy.0.99
03:55:41.780No hesitation, just like the drug boats in the Caribbean.0.96
03:55:46.720It's also worth saying this should not be America's fight alone.
03:55:53.220We barely use the Strait of Hormuz as a country.
03:55:55.920Our energy doesn't flow through there, and we have plenty of energy.0.84
03:56:02.400Just look at the new global Congo line headed to Texas.
03:58:49.600And as everyone saw this past weekend, we're prepared and postured to intercept them.
03:58:55.520As of this morning, 34 ships have met the U.S. blockade
03:59:01.160and made the wise choice to turn around, one ship did not, and that ship was the motor vessel Tuska.
03:59:09.180Over several hours this past Sunday, April 19th, the U.S. conducted maritime interdiction operations
03:59:17.060against the Tuska, whose crew attempted to breach the blockade line.
03:59:21.580The Tuska is a large container ship, about 965 feet long, or about the same size as a United States Navy aircraft carrier, and over 100 feet wide.
03:59:34.620The operation began about 4 a.m. Eastern Standard Time when the United States Navy destroyer approached her, and the crew and the vessel ignored warnings.
03:59:47.620And I've described how the destroyer force is operating in the area prior.
03:59:55.360Upon intercept and coming within visual range, American forces began to issue several clear and unambiguous warnings and inform the vessel and their crew that they were in a violation of the U.S. blockade and directed the ship to turn around.
04:00:13.120Over a six-hour period, the vessel and her crew repeatedly ignored U.S. warnings, and then the U.S. Navy destroyer executed a series of pre-planned, carefully calibrated escalation options, including firing five warning shots.
04:00:32.380The vessel and her crew continued to ignore warnings, and after exhausting all other measures, CENTCOM authorized disabling fire against the Tuska.
04:00:43.940U.S. sailors warned the crew of the Tuska to abandon the engine room, and at approximately 9 a.m. Eastern Time, the destroyer disabled the Tuska's engine by firing nine inert rounds from the destroyer's Mark 45 5-inch guns precisely into the engine room and engine space on board the Tuska.
04:01:07.800Not surprisingly, the vessel then reported issues with their engine, went dead in the water, and began to comply with U.S. directions and orders.
04:01:18.120At 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, CENTCOM ordered United States Marines to seize the ship.
04:01:25.940Via helicopters, U.S. Marines maneuvered quickly to the disabled ship, boarded her from fast ropes via helicopter infiltration methods, and took custody of the ship.
04:01:37.000the ship and her crew remain safe in U.S. custody today. Let me now turn to global operations in
04:01:45.200the Pacific, and I want to highlight that this is a major interagency effort between the United
04:01:51.400States military, the White House, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of
04:01:56.420Justice. On Monday, April 20th, U.S. Indo-PACOM forces, in support of a Department of Justice
04:02:03.800request interdicted the motor tanker Tiffany, which was transporting sanctioned Iranian oil.
04:02:11.960The Tiffany is a very large crude tanker, BLCC for short, and is also about the size of a U.S.
04:02:20.640aircraft carrier and capable of transporting approximately 2 million barrels of oil. At
04:02:27.380approximately 11 30 p.m eastern time u.s military forces and law enforcement forces also went to
04:02:35.800the ship via rotary wing platforms fast roped onto her deck and secured her after the ship was
04:02:42.960secured a u.s navy control team embarked aboard the tiffany tiffany or tiffany and assumed control
04:02:49.560the ship at 4 a.m. Eastern time on April 21st. A Navy control team is comprised of sailors
04:02:57.920led by a boarding officer that assumes control of a sea ship in order to secure the crew,
04:03:04.620the cargo, and the vessel, and disposition of that first vessel is still pending.
04:03:10.680The next interdiction occurred on Wednesday, this past Wednesday, 22 April, when Indo-PACOM
04:03:16.940conducted yet another interdiction, again at the request of the U.S. Department of Justice.
04:03:23.340This time, the stateless motor tanker Majestic X, also known as the Ponix, also in the Indian Ocean.
04:03:31.720This is, again, a VLCC, or Very Large Crewed Tanker.
04:03:36.400At approximately 11 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, U.S. forces began the interdiction,
04:03:41.700again using rotary wing assets to get to the ship, got on board, and secured the bridge.
04:03:49.640Both ships, the Tefani, the Majestic X, and their crews remain in U.S. custody,
04:03:55.460and we will continue to conduct similar maritime interdiction actions and activities in the Pacific
04:04:02.440and Indian Oceans against Iranian ships and vessels of the Dark Fleet. The actions by our
04:04:10.260service members and our law enforcement partners demonstrate the incredible discipline and
04:04:16.800dedication and professionalism of our joint force and highlight the global reach of American
04:04:24.520combat power. The joint force remains on ensuring the Iranian regime cannot harm our interests
04:04:31.160or those of our allies and partners. And I'll highlight that Iran has repeatedly sought to0.91
04:04:38.520offensively and proactively expand the conflict by aggression against its neighbors and its attacks0.54
04:04:46.600on global shipping through the strait. To date, Iran has attacked five merchant vessels, seized
04:04:53.200two of them, that were attempting to transit the strait, and these include ships that Iran itself
04:04:59.480had cleared to proceed. Now, as I always do, I want to honor members of the joint force.
04:05:05.360Today, I want to highlight and proudly describe the essential role of our intelligence enterprise and the role that they play in conducting our military operations.
04:05:15.580The totality of their work is the culmination of days, months, and in many cases, years of work by our uniform and civilian intelligence professionals.
04:05:26.560We have been able to do the work that we are ordered to do because America's intelligence force, including our core collectors and analysts, have spent decades searching for every loose thread.
04:05:39.680From the determination of a particular intelligence requirement to that piece of intelligence being collected in the field by a military or interagency case officer to the rigorous analysis that goes into reporting on that finding, those team members spend their careers answering the incredibly important questions that we must attempt to answer before, during, and after operations.
04:06:06.660They live in the enemy's mind, normally located behind the green door, behind the vault door in dark windowless rooms across the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
04:06:21.880are world-class intel members from DIA, our service intelligence components, NSA, NGA, CIA, NRO,
04:06:31.020and in the case of the operations that I've just described, the Office of Naval Intelligence
04:06:37.220all work tirelessly to sift through the mountains of collected information using tools, tactics,
04:06:45.380techniques, and procedures that I'm not going to discuss today. The sun never sets on these
04:06:50.820world-class professionals and their goal is every minute of every day to be on the account
04:06:56.500and they know the enemy they know their combat capability their weapons their industrial and
04:07:02.460economic systems and they know their leaders their leaders pattern of life where they go
04:07:08.900what they think and what they do thanks to their work we know iran and it is an incredible work
04:07:15.900that they do. Again, none of our operations that we've conducted during my time in this job could
04:07:21.420have been done without the service of these intelligence professionals. And the distance
04:07:27.920from those core collectors and those analysts to those Patriot crews who are defending U.S.
04:07:34.620forces forward or the fighter pilots is incredibly small. Every single day, as their
04:07:41.320motto say, they are committed to excellence in the defense of the nation and to securing the future
04:07:47.260and they're doing the work of the nation. Before I close, as I do every time, I want to highlight
04:07:53.780and remember our fallen. Today, I want to highlight the 63 victims of the terrorist bombing of the
04:08:00.540U.S. Embassy in Beirut, which occurred 43 years ago, just a few days ago on April 18, 1983.
04:08:08.180At that time, this was the deadliest attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission, and this was the first attack conducted by Iranian-backed forces on Americans.
04:08:20.900The suicide bomber detonated a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device out in front of the embassy, killing 63 innocent people, including 32 Lebanese, 14 visitors, and 17 Americans.
04:08:34.840And among those lost, members of the Joint Force to include three Army soldiers and one United States Marine.
04:08:45.020Sergeant First Class Richard Twine, Staff Sergeant Ben Maxwell, Staff Sergeant Mark Salazar, and United States Marine Corporal Vincent McMaw.
04:08:56.160Today we remember them, we carry on their memory, and the memory of all our fallen, and remain grateful for their sacrifice and that of their families who continue to show us what courage looks like.
04:09:10.780As we continue to press forward and maintain these operations, the Secretary, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and I are deeply humbled by the spirit, tenacity, and commitment and grit of the 2.8 million members of our Joint Force.
04:09:24.820The Secretary and I thank every member of the joint force engaged in this operation, every warrior who remains deployed or who is supporting from here at home.
04:09:36.080Thank you and thank you to your families.
04:09:43.980In your estimation, have there been increased or decreased instances of Iranian vessels either approaching or trying to breach the blockade the longer it is in effect?
04:09:56.600And another question about the mine threat.
04:09:59.080Has the mine threat been neutralized enough to facilitate freer flow in the Straits?
04:10:05.600Well, to the second question, first of all, we are seeing vessels transiting.
04:21:47.880So the biggest, well, major updates that we had from this press conference were two points.
04:21:55.300One was the ability that the United States military have in place.
04:22:00.520They now have the three main aircraft carriers who are now in the region,
04:22:07.380But also the U.S. intel, thanks to obviously CIA and others, have managed to create the preparation in terms of obviously the target list and everything else.
04:22:18.980If the IRGC don't realize that the ball is in their court, then they're going to be in trouble.
04:22:23.780So as we said, we do have the breaking news that Abbas Arakshi, the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic,
04:22:31.660has begged the Americans to come back to the negotiating table tomorrow, Saturday, the 25th of April.
04:22:39.840Apparently, the foreign minister will be arriving in Pakistan tonight.
04:22:43.680But again, we will wait for that to actually happen before anybody gets excited.
04:22:49.800Having said that, this doesn't necessarily mean
04:22:53.840that the Islamic Republic will definitely sign the surrender deal0.51
04:22:58.920because, obviously, it will be the end of them if they sign the deal.0.90
04:23:03.020And if they don't sign the deal, then it will still be the end of them
04:23:06.220where we're just going to take some time
04:23:07.420because the military operation will have to resume regardless.
04:23:11.120So, obviously, we will keep you guys posted
04:23:13.380with full live coverage of the potential negotiations tomorrow, Saturday.
04:23:19.160And if something happens tonight, Rory says, hi, did Donald Trump say something about the Falkland Islands?
04:23:30.280The only thing he said is the one we already mentioned in this live stream.
04:23:34.820Argentina has all the cards on taking the Falklands right now.
04:23:38.320Not really, because the president of Argentina, Javi Millet, is there against the war.
04:23:44.520Brazil and Chile have both said that the Falklands belong to Argentina.
04:23:48.200I don't see Tuti Akhir sending HMS Dragon to defend the Falklands.
04:23:52.680No, the British government will not defend the Falklands Islands.
04:23:58.220It's not the 80s anymore, unfortunately.
04:24:00.700But Khabib Millay has repeatedly said that he's not going to take the Falklands Islands by force,
04:24:05.040only through negotiations, because obviously he's a libertarian.
04:46:05.280What about the feeling that this is not me? What about that feeling? What do we do with that? Like, this is not the real me. Like, this is, but that is the real you. You're just speaking to a different audience. Think of it as a costume. Think of it as like, you know, like Armin, the way that you speak here on Iran Revolution Live is different than, you know, how you speak in liberty politics. It's different than how you speak when you're doing your Persian live streams.
04:46:30.720it's different than how you speak when you're doing your own live streams on you know liberty
04:46:35.260politics right so every like every place you are you're presenting and projecting differently
04:46:41.660because you're speaking to a different audience right so right now like you know like for example
04:46:49.600you know i'm picky about swearing right i'm like let's not let's not swear so you you know in the
04:46:56.760past like on your own show shows like you're okay with that and like you know you just let loose
04:47:01.520but here out of respect for me and my audience you don't swear does that mean that you're not
04:47:08.480being yourself right now does that mean you're being fake oh okay yeah no
04:47:13.720goldie's always right yeah exactly yeah so that's even if i yeah i mean i always come to that point
04:47:25.440like eventually even if i uh whatever like what your advice ends up always being the right advice
04:47:30.640so even if i resisted at first and you know the only reason that you know you would feel like okay
04:47:36.560this isn't you and you're faking it is because you're just not used to it but once you do it a
04:47:40.720few times then it'll just come naturally to you right you just you know you have a suit there yeah
04:47:45.680it's exactly like a suit like for men when you have a suit and a tie and a handkerchief
04:47:50.720it just it shows professionalism and authority right people listen to guys in suits it's just
04:47:58.600how it is and you have to like speak to the crowd here okay okay oh someone's saying you can try it
04:48:08.980out on us all right okay maybe maybe we should get armin to put on a suit sometime maybe not
04:48:13.780tonight but uh sometime so but you know arvin since you were you know so so receptive to uh
04:48:23.900the advice that i gave you um i know i shouldn't do this but before we go to monocle or sorry i
04:48:34.000know you also have breaking news before we go to the breaking news that you want to share

04:50:41.440okay just can i just give you a little bit of advice though
04:50:44.880just don't don't like dress like that what which one oh like that at the beach yeah when you're
04:50:56.280doing your media interviews no i just i just i just typed arvin navavi in google image search
04:51:02.260and then all these photos came up so yeah don't do this one don't do the beach photo
04:51:06.880this one's not bad this one's not bad but i prefer like the the tie like this one's also
04:51:12.060not bad but the tie like you need a tie for sure guys i've never searched for armin navavi on google
04:51:32.620images and look as soon as i search for armin navavi we get like a topless beach photo what is
04:51:42.060oh my god oh that's your mom whoa look at this guys
04:51:49.680you need to do a google image search armin and see what's going on with your photos
04:52:02.660what is this anime girl that's one of my fans making anime videos of me0.57
05:06:22.800We already knew that, and this confirms it.0.52
05:06:24.740But another interesting thing is that Israel Katz, the defense minister of Israel, he is also confirming that as soon as they go back to war, they want to go kill Majdaba.0.50
05:06:37.460By the way, this guy, I love him because he has no chill.
05:08:09.540tied to a hospital bed and he needs treatment which is going to make detecting where he is0.99
05:08:16.200very very easy so first and foremost to complete the elimination of the khamenei dynasty and to0.98
05:08:22.440return iran to the dark and stone ages by destroying iran's major energy and power facilities0.96
05:08:27.520this time our strikes will be different and more deadly and will deliver for farther devastating
05:08:33.940blows to most painful places which will shake and collapse the regime's foundation so
05:08:39.480So this is a sign that Israel is, by the way, we have reports from inside Israel that they think that the negotiations are not going to go anywhere and they're getting ready to go back into the fight.
05:08:52.660From the United States perspective, if they didn't have other countries that they had to worry about, it would make sense for them to just keep the blockade.
05:09:03.200And instead of going back to military operations, just focus so much on the blockade and making it completely airtight to completely suffocate the Islamic Republic, right?0.67
05:09:12.800That would make sense from a UNISIS perspective if they just focused on that, because that is really hurting the Islamic Republic more than even military operations.
05:09:21.720And it's dividing them, and the military operations might actually unite the regime supporters.
05:15:54.180based on everything that they have been exposed to.1.00
05:15:56.960Because the Shia mercenaries coming from Iraq,0.99
05:16:00.780they haven't gone through the schooling the islamic republic ideologies the propagandas from our mosques0.99
05:16:07.820and all of this stuff that happens in iran that that is a very detailed specific brainwashing0.70
05:16:12.380that we have to that you get exposed to through since childhood and if it works on you it's very
05:16:17.820specific for them is like you have mahdi ali um matthew is good ali is good fatima is good
05:16:26.140Hussein is good. Khamenei is good. Where's my U.S. dollars? Who do I shoot at? But from a pro-regime
05:16:33.020Iranian inside Iran, it's not just that Fatima is good. It's not just that Ali is good. It's not
05:16:38.620just that the Mahdi is good. It's not just like, yeah, Allahu Akbar. Hey, that, hey, that. It's
05:16:43.780not just that. It's that when you talk to the Americans, you have to say this instead of this
05:16:48.620because Ali Khamenei said that. And if you do this, this is the betrayal of this specific
05:16:53.320principle of the islamic republic that is annoying as shit for the islamic republic so at some point0.97
05:17:01.160so the mercenaries don't you don't have to deal with them but the problem the cost with the0.98
05:17:04.920mercenaries the problem with the mercenaries is that they're not loyal if you don't give them
05:17:09.320money they're not going to fight for you they're going to go home they're like where's my dollars
05:17:12.520where's my dollars if you know i'm not going to be loyal and that also makes them dangerous because
05:17:16.520they're inside the country and if all of a sudden they don't you don't give them money they might
05:17:20.680want to look around and see what they could take right so to summarize you guys are getting this
05:17:25.640this is a really high level stuff okay really high levels up to summarize pro-regime iranians
05:17:31.240the benefit is loyalty the the con is inflexibility right um the mercenary shields from outside of
05:17:42.120Iran. Pro is flexibility. The con is that they have no loyalty. So we're getting to a situation
05:17:53.240that because of the negotiations and other things, the Islamic Republic needs to do things that the
05:17:58.760pro-regime Iranians are going to consider a treason and a betrayal of the ideals of the
05:18:06.280islamic republic right and at some point the irgc is like well the irgc is not the mullahs
05:18:12.920the irgc is like we just want power right so i already told you that we're doing a coup
05:18:18.120like they're doing a coup inside iran and we're going from turbans to boots so for the turbans
05:18:23.400these ideals are the goal for the boots these ideals are the tool they're not the goal they're
05:18:28.040the tool the goal is to stay in power right so the irgc is not even they're willing to
05:18:36.440they're willing to they're there's their priority is survival and staying in power
05:18:41.640so it's good to have these mercenaries here so if at some point they need to betray the ideals of
05:18:47.800the revolution and these poor regime people want to wanting to uh do they do their own uprising
05:18:55.560we're going to have a double uprising if you throw away the ideals of the islamic revolution
05:19:01.000you already have the vast majority of the iranian people the more secular minded iranian people who
05:19:06.280are anti-regime and they want to do an uprising against you but then you're going to have now
05:19:11.400these more islamic minded pro-regime iranians who want to do an uprising against you as well
05:19:16.920because they think that you're zionist spies and then there has been a zionist takeover and you
05:19:21.720guys were like betraying the revolution and stuff so you need to put them in their place as well
05:19:26.600so this all of this all of this brought me to the idea like many many days ago i told you guys that
05:19:34.120maybe these mercenaries are not just for anti-regime iranians but they're also meant for suppressing
05:19:40.600pro-regime iranians as well so take a look at this right and by the way um somebody from our
05:19:46.600discussion group ali he went to the the the group that they took this from and he he verified this
05:19:52.360so look at this this this uh lady ida toron she posted this and she likes to go into reading the0.54
05:19:59.640comments from pro-regime people as well like i do so update from inside ida she's a lovely girl
05:20:06.920yeah she's great i know her personally yes yes and look at where look at what where what she
05:20:12.920went and dug out this confirms that what we what you heard me saying a couple days ago now it's
05:20:19.320been confirmed many days after so watch this um i've been saying she's saying i've been scrolling
05:20:26.040through the irgc regime channels and their social media lately the same ones who brag about hunting
05:20:32.760down protesters under khamenei's jihad orders slowly it's sinking in for them that they got
05:20:41.240played hard they're getting extremely paranoid and keep accusing each other of being
05:20:48.040coup plotters and spies and or traitors like zionist spies and traitors they're pointing
05:20:54.280their fingers at each other guys look at this the funniest comment and look at this this is what i
05:21:00.600already told you guys the funniest comment i read and something i haven't even thought of myself
05:21:07.880We did that here, though. And something I haven't even thought of was this comment. Look at the comment. By the way, the comment is posted here, but let's read it. She already has it in the caption.
05:21:21.600So this is a comment from a regime supporter. They're saying those forces they brought in from Iraq and Afghanistan weren't for the protesters. They were for us.
05:21:39.240Okay, so this is what I was suggesting as well. I mean, not that they're not for the protesters. I think they're for both.
05:21:49.140his reasoning is not solid but his conclusion is very close to us because look at what he's saying0.85
05:21:56.720he's saying otherwise why would israel not hit them during the war when they were right in their
05:22:03.240in the line of fire guys remember when i was sharing the pictures of the caravans of hash
05:22:08.040from iraq and i was telling you why are they americans so he this guy doesn't understand this
05:22:15.120because if anybody was supposed to hit that caravan,
05:22:17.800it would have been the Americans at the Iraqi border, right?
05:22:20.860And I was asking you guys, why are the Americans not hitting them?
05:22:26.820And I didn't have the answer to that question
05:22:29.380until I saw a report from Iran International
05:22:31.620that apparently they filled these cars with their family members.
05:22:35.020I don't know if that has been verified because that was a commentator,
05:22:38.060but maybe that was the reason why they didn't bomb these caravans.
05:22:41.300But this person thinks that maybe Israel allowed them.
05:22:44.460The reason why they're thinking Israel instead of the United States, because they always blame the Jews and they always think they're behind conspiracies, there's Jews involved, right?
05:22:54.520But every time you're thinking of conspiracy theories, then it will be the Jews, right?0.52
05:23:00.760So they think that this person basically thinks that there are Zionist elements within the Islamic Republic who is working with Israel to allow these proxies in.0.65
05:23:15.340And by the way, guys, this is not a new way of thinking.
05:23:18.860There are many, many pro-regime people who think that the Jews and Israelis have basically infiltrated within the Islamic Republic.
05:28:43.100So the religious authorities, well, it's actually the IRGC leader.
05:28:47.080The religious authorities have stated that no image of Mushtaba Khamenei should be published, and is also his voice, so that the enemies cannot harm him using occult sciences.
05:41:52.160every single time the muslim nazis burn like a statue to ball0.99
05:42:12.520america and israel go goes ahead and attacks them so arvin this is crazy send this to me0.97
05:42:18.600yeah okay okay i mean there's six books yes please all six of them all six yeah send them0.56
05:42:27.480all to me on whatsapp please okay okay all right this is crazy okay should we do more at first
05:42:37.400before i say yeah yeah yeah because we were waiting for this okay okay
05:42:41.560so saying in the middle of all this solar up noosh which is like a irgc commander
05:42:56.760oh he's really wow murad veisi knows even the previous last names and the new their new last
05:43:02.120so he's a irgc commander in ghazvin city and now he is a member of the parliament and part of the
05:43:13.480security commission within the parliament so you could see guys this is an important person he used
05:43:21.400to be an irgc commander and now he's a member of parliament part of the security commission
05:43:32.120So he's saying he just came out and gave a reason, a new reason for why
05:43:39.120Mujtaba Khomeini is hiding and nobody could see him.
05:43:52.120So he's saying he first said that Mujtaba was under the rubble
05:43:57.120Because of the explosions during the operation epic fury and roar of lions.
05:44:04.120And they brought him and so Mujtaba during the bombardment he went under the rubble they dragged him out of the from underneath the rubble but he's okay.
05:44:12.120He's saying this is what all of them say that Mujtaba is okay.
05:44:17.120is okay he's saying uh murad is saying but what kind of uh okay this is that we had we can't even
05:44:30.240hear him there's no videos or audio from him so now he's giving a reason
05:44:38.080is like pay attention this is like a irgc commander that is saying this is not your
05:44:51.520average mullah okay this is not your grandma speaking okay this is not like your horofati
05:44:57.760superstitious like random old person in the street in a mosque this is coming from a military
05:45:05.520commander a military commander within the islamic republic
05:45:10.720an important military commander because he's part of the security commission0.77
05:45:26.560like look how they're using like how much they use superstition to rule the country
05:45:35.520Wow, he is saying based on the opinions of the religious
05:50:52.460technology it turns all of that technology into superior operation so far they have taken out 520.84
05:51:06.700of the highest ranking officials of the islamic republic so guys basically the technology and
05:51:13.100the operations are so advanced that from the perspective of islamic republic is that this0.57
05:51:17.500must be sorcery they're like what's the the israelis are so good that the only way that0.98
05:51:24.700the islamic republic could explain what's happening is sorcery0.93
05:51:28.220So Mourad went and did this research, guys look at how seriously it's taking it, it's like because they said that they teach this in Tel Aviv University, I went and researched to see what they do, what they teach in Tel Aviv University.0.78
05:51:58.220so like they made a claim that they teach sorcery in tel aviv university so i went and done some
06:36:34.300No, the 4-H doctrine, they will come up with the 4-H, and the 4-H doctrine, I already mentioned which are the 4-H, they will push them inside Iran, they will push all of these proxies into Iran.1.00
06:36:55.600So some people suggest that the fact that Hashdashabi is coming into Iran shows that Manuk was right about this.0.98
06:37:03.320Because he said that the plans of the Americans are to push Hashdashabi back into Iran.1.00
06:37:11.420And when we saw the caravan of Hashdashabi coming into Iran, some people theorized that Manuk's prediction is coming true.
06:37:22.880I generally don't see it as everything being planned so far ahead of time like that, but some people see it like that.0.70
06:37:37.560So he's saying the plan of the Americans, like the plans have been that to cut the arms of the green octopus, the Islamic octopus basically, and then bury the octopus after that.
06:37:52.880so if you look right right now even today that they even today where the kerbalah the0.53
06:38:00.480kerbalah that was the path in the way for them to get to jerusalem because guys during the iran
06:38:08.160iraq war the uh the armed forces of the islamic republic they would come out and say
06:38:17.360which means that during the iran iraq war the pro like the armed forces of the islamic
06:38:22.400republic's understanding was that we need to go and capture jerusalem but the path to jerusalem
06:38:28.480goes through kerbala inside iraq so first we will get iraq and eventually we'll basically capture
06:38:34.000israel so with a violent symphony the entire credibility of these people collapsed0.60
06:38:52.400this is why you could realize that the americans are always playing with a different card
06:39:03.280and they will always every time they will fool you every time they will come up with the card and
06:39:07.920they will they will make you lose so manook had a very manook is famous for having a very
06:39:16.400high opinion of the Americans and their planning. And his theory was that everything has been
06:39:24.480planned ahead of time and everything is falling in place according to the plans that the Americans
06:39:32.520have had from many years ago. And the Americans are so in control of everything that everything0.95
06:39:39.700that we're seeing today is happening in accordance to everything that they have planned years ahead
06:39:44.880of time that's the way he sees it so he's saying this is not trump or bolton or any of these other
06:40:08.000people he's like there's a system in place there's a system in place that makes the best decisions
06:40:14.880so again his understanding is that so yeah so you're like sketch therapy is saying not the
06:40:19.760democrats but manuk's theory was that it's not about who's i mean i don't see i don't see it
06:40:27.360like this but i'm just going to describe you to you what how manuk saw it okay like don't
06:40:32.960like if you disagree with this this is what manuk believes manuk believed when he was alive that
06:40:38.400there's a system in place in united states that is above whoever is in charge and that makes the
06:40:47.440best that system makes the best decisions and i don't see it like that but yeah
06:40:57.840so like the best decisions for example they they overthrow the soviet union
06:41:03.040they brought china to its knees so yeah i don't know if you're interested in my in my theory for
06:41:10.640why america works perfectly um well not perfectly but better than everyone else i don't i don't think
06:41:16.480it's because of some elite people making good decisions from the top down i think it's liberty
