00:22:59.620 the so-called islamic republic is not the government of iran it is a hostile occupying

00:23:12.660 force that's hijacked our homeland after invading five neighboring countries and

00:23:20.740 sawing chaos across the region this regime has invaded iran itself using foreign terrorists

00:23:28.820 Hezbollah fighters, Iraqi militias, and other mercenaries to slaughter the

00:23:36.860 Iranian people. This is no longer mere repression. This is foreign occupation

00:23:43.960 wearing clerical robes. Just as Saddam Hussein drowned the marshes in blood and

00:23:50.840 Bashar al-Assad turned barrel bombs on his own children, Ali Khamenei and his

00:23:57.300 thugs have committed mass crimes against the iranian people and against all of humanity

00:24:05.300 and just like those other tyrannies the islamic republic will fall not if but when

00:24:15.700 the world must hear this clearly the battle in iran today is not between reform and revolution

00:24:23.540 It is between occupation and liberation.

00:24:28.780 And the Iranian people have already chosen their side.

00:24:32.900 Their heads are bloodied, but unbowed.

00:24:37.760 Yet the cost has been heartbreaking.

00:24:41.800 The people of Iran are being slaughtered in the streets and in their homes

00:24:45.940 by a regime that shows no mercy.

00:24:48.800 More than 12,000 Iranians were massacred in 48 hours, one murder every 14 seconds.

00:25:00.600 Khamenei's killers even hunted the wounded protesters in hospitals and executed them in cold blood.

00:25:09.600 The regime collected piles of bodies with dump trucks and forced worried families to search unlabeled body bags.

00:25:18.800 They refused to return bodies for burial without payment for the cost of the bullets that killed their loved ones.

00:25:27.600 And where a family cannot pay up to several thousand dollars, and most of them can't,

00:25:34.180 they bury the dead in unmarked mass graves.

00:25:39.100 And despite the lies you're hearing from the regime, its bloodlust has not diminished.

00:25:46.500 The slaughter has not stopped.

00:25:48.800 My brave compatriots, still holding the line with their broken bodies but unbreakable will, need your urgent help right now.

00:26:01.640 Make no mistake, however, the Islamic Republic is close to collapse.

00:26:07.840 Ali Khamenei and his thugs know this. 0.66

00:26:11.980 That's why they are lashing out like a wounded animal, desperate to cling to power.

00:26:18.800 The people have not retreated, their determination has made one thing clear, they are not merely

00:26:27.160 rejecting this regime, they are demanding a credible new path forward.

00:26:34.680 They have called for me to lead.

00:26:38.700 The bond between me and the Iranian people is not new, it's been with me since birth

00:26:45.600 and it cannot be broken.

00:26:49.220 Even in exile, I pledge my life to the service of the Iranian nation.

00:38:03.820 Balum

00:38:04.380 Balum

00:38:12.600 good morning good afternoon and good evening wherever you are on this beautiful planet welcome

00:38:29.720 to tussi tv this is your global news channel amaya tussi and we have had several explosions

00:38:35.960 in multiple cities in Iran against the IRGC bases.

00:38:41.600 We are getting more updates.

00:38:43.400 A lot of videos are coming in from these fires around the country

00:38:48.460 as the Americans continue to send more troops towards the Middle East

00:38:53.200 and the Israeli Defense Forces have now held an emergency meeting

00:38:56.740 over the risk assessment of the upcoming military action against the IRGC.

00:39:03.560 We're going to give you all the updates.

00:39:04.680 there's a lot to cover here and right now on the streets of iran we are seeing a state of emergency

00:39:11.720 the irgc military have obviously taken to the streets over the last few days as you already

00:39:17.400 know but they have now decided to ensure that every single square every single roundabout

00:39:23.720 and all the major streets are equipped with checkpoints as well as their soldiers to fight

00:39:32.840 against their so-called enemy, which is the Iranian people. Let me show you what's going

00:39:37.800 on right now. First, we got the update from Shiraz, the home of the Shiraz wine in the south of the

00:39:44.480 country. Explosion in the mountainous area just outside the city itself. This is where the Islamic

00:39:52.640 Republic stockpile their missiles and other military equipment. Let's go to the first video

00:40:01.940 from Shiraz. You can see the smoke just outside the city, to the north of the city. And then we

00:40:10.660 started getting more updates about other explosions. Every single attack that we have now

00:40:16.120 seen today, as opposed to the last few days or few weeks, today has been on IRGC basis. So that

00:40:22.500 includes warehouses, that includes their equipment. And there is one that I'm going to go to, we're

00:40:27.640 just trying to verify that information, that it may be an underground facility.

00:40:33.540 Of course, these attacks are being carried out by anti-Islamic Republic elements.

00:40:39.560 And that could be the Iranians, that could be Mossad operatives, that could be CIA.

00:40:44.720 There are so many, obviously, people on the ground right now in the country

00:40:48.100 who don't necessarily like the Islamic occupation.

00:40:51.000 Let's go to the north, in Ramsar, as the IRGC forces have now been deployed across the city with fully automated weapons and machine guns.

00:41:03.860 Obviously, they mounted them on trucks, just driving around, being terrified.

00:41:08.940 Watch this.

00:41:13.980 So they got the Islamic Republic flag.

00:41:17.220 they're also gonna have the red flag of islam which is the flag of revenge you bring it out

00:41:22.740 when there is a state of war hang on it's coming up more soldiers with guns and that one so that

00:41:36.580 so that let me just there we go this where is it

00:41:39.860 so that's the red flag of islam so of course the flag of uh vengeance and uh blood uh that

00:41:50.420 the idea they only bring it out uh when the country is in the state of war and they have

00:41:56.680 also been flying it on top of mosques and other government buildings and this is a sign that

00:42:03.960 they've realized that their so-called fake negotiations over nuclear have not really

00:42:09.100 on that well, so they have to fly the red flag. I think the message is quite clear. Let's go to

00:42:17.580 Shahriar. Another powerful explosion happened over there. Now, the reports also state that

00:42:26.960 depots that store ammunition and fuel for military equipment have now been exploded in that area.

00:42:35.420 Let's go.

00:42:46.320 Now, the interesting thing about the attacks that are happening today,

00:42:50.160 the Islamic Republic State Media, or IRIB,

00:42:54.480 didn't even try and didn't even bother coming up with a fake lie that these are gas leaks.

00:43:00.820 Finally, this is the first day in Iran that we are not having a gas leak.

00:43:05.420 What they have said that, yes, we're not going to explain anything.

00:43:09.280 But what we're going to do instead, we're going to raise the red flag of Islam and deploy our forces everywhere.

00:43:14.720 So no more gas leaks.

00:43:17.140 They know they are under attack on the ground.

00:43:20.820 We haven't even had the airstrikes yet.

00:43:23.600 But there's a lot of suggestions that that could happen within the next 36, 35 hours.

00:43:30.380 But again, Friday weekend, everybody was waiting for that.

00:43:34.020 if you're going to go with the predictability of this.

00:43:38.520 Of course, President Trump is not that predictable,

00:43:40.900 but the Israelis could be because the Israelis are quite open

00:43:45.040 about what they want to do and how they want to do it.

00:43:48.580 They've also released a list of targets that they want to hit the IDF.

00:43:53.080 Now, another explosion has now been reported in Paran.

00:43:57.660 And this is a location known to contain a number of IRGC bases all in one place.

00:44:05.900 Let's go.

00:44:13.520 He's giving the date.

00:44:23.380 I'll translate.

00:44:27.660 so first he uh mentioned the date in the video so you know it's actually from uh today uh the 29th

00:44:51.260 of bahman this is the persian calendar and then he said this is basically to the west of where

00:44:57.500 the international airport imam khomeini airport is located and they said that the loud explosion of

00:45:05.180 course this was a big bang a big boom it wasn't necessarily anything accidental this was clearly

00:45:11.740 deliberate but we are just getting some breaking news from jerusalem a meeting of israel's political

00:45:21.660 security cabinet we will be now delayed wow okay so there was supposed to be a political cabinet

00:45:31.500 obviously meeting in israel that was scheduled for tomorrow which is thursday the 19th of february

00:45:38.060 that has now been delayed until sunday so no we're not really sure exactly what this

00:45:46.540 relates to but there is going to be a an unexpected delay in the political cabinet meeting and now

00:45:55.740 of course people in iran over the last two three days have been out on the streets

00:46:01.780 the uprising has returned on the streets and that's why the irgc forces have been creating

00:46:08.660 even more checkpoints than before let's go to mardash this is the video that we just of course

00:46:14.040 of the videos are delayed because of the internet restrictions but a huge crowd out in mardash

00:46:28.040 that's the common a that counts

00:46:55.240 oh

00:46:58.040 We are getting some information from Jerusalem.

00:47:12.820 So the local government in Jerusalem will now be providing local residents in the city

00:47:19.360 with a detailed information booklet outlining emergency procedures and life-saving guidance.

00:47:28.040 along with a full list of available shelters this is according to open source intel in israel

00:47:34.360 so the israeli government are preparing for the emergency protocols as expected somebody says

00:47:41.240 any evidence from persian sources that uh the moist has uh what splintered like the irgc

00:47:50.920 through it might be infiltrated by us and israeli intel well we do know that operatives from both

00:47:57.160 Both the United States and Israel have, of course, infiltrated the system from within.

00:48:03.060 So that is a guaranteed anyway, but we're not really getting any more updates on that.

00:48:06.700 When is your interview with Mossab Hassan Youssef?

00:48:09.740 When hell freezes over and I would rather die in a ditch at this point.

00:48:16.000 Anyway, so let's quickly go to another video of explosion.

00:48:21.000 This area is a home to multiple military facilities, including the IRGC and Basij bases.

00:48:30.760 Let's go.

00:48:32.960 This is thanks to Iran International.

00:48:43.840 She was, again, just mentioning the date in the video so you know it's from today.

00:48:47.720 loud noise a loud sound of explosion he says

00:48:54.840 yeah apparently everybody in the neighborhood heard it

00:49:00.300 wow that's uh crazy uh we have uh a an irgc retard in the live chat saying

00:49:17.220 No help is underway. Don't mess with Iran's ballistic missiles. Oh, how cute and adorable you are. Don't mess with Iran's ballistic. It's my toy. You can't touch my toy. We're going to take your toy. Oh, yeah, we're going to enjoy it. Oh, we're going to love it. Anyway, let's talk about the Americans and what they are up to in the region. 0.75

00:49:36.060 ladies and gentlemen the so-called silent killer has arrived in the middle east it is now in the

00:49:43.180 persian gulf near the persian gulf a uss georgia lurks this obviously they have 154 tomahawk

00:49:52.460 missiles ready to strike the islamic republic let me just show you the video uh we have received

00:50:00.060 and let's turn this down so this is the so-called silent killer it's not really that silent by the 0.93

00:50:04.700 the way but the uss georgia is operating right now and near the persian gulf not far obviously from

00:50:14.460 strait of homos uh based on the central command or centcom they they have obviously repositioned

00:50:23.580 this to align with the rest of the u.s military in the region amid the tensions with the islamic

00:50:30.300 leadership of Iran. There is going to be a list of targets, of course, for each of these

00:50:35.600 units. Now, the ballistic missile, as I said, realistically speaking, the main

00:50:44.220 targets on that, which is going to be probably hit by the Israelis first,

00:50:50.900 should be, and it's probably going to be, the missile launchers. Missile launchers first,

00:50:56.140 you hit them, you paralyze them, and then the factories and storages. That's the next place

00:51:02.760 that you have to hit. But the rest of these guys, they will also be prepared for naval conflict as

00:51:10.140 well as hitting sensitive sites, including nuclear underground facilities. So the Americans are also

00:51:18.700 on standby. One of the other things that we could mention about the United States, they have

00:51:23.040 released another statement this is actually a central command a CENTCOM in Persian so in case

00:51:29.640 you don't know they have a they have an account in Persian to send a message saying that the growlers

00:51:34.980 are working basically the EA-18G growler aircraft from the EA and electronic attack squadron 133

00:51:45.400 and F-35C Lightning II fighters from Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314

00:51:52.920 prepare for a flight on the flight deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln.

00:51:59.100 This aircraft carrier, which is present in the international waters of the Middle East,

00:52:06.460 conducts round-the-clock flight operations to support regional security.

00:52:12.460 So, yes, this is going to be quite interesting as we will get more updates from a central command in Persian, the official account.

00:52:22.360 But in terms of the military movements, we are seeing quite a lot happening again over the last few hours.

00:52:29.800 Firstly, nonstop, absolutely nonstop movement by the refueling tankers from the United States to Europe.

00:52:37.200 Then they take a break from Europe, especially the UK and Germany.

00:52:42.460 towards the middle east this is insanity by the way the last few hours we've seen so much movement

00:52:47.660 by the refueling tankers now these tankers obviously will be providing extra support

00:52:53.100 uh to their jets uh obviously to be able to keep flying around for some time now we also have some

00:53:01.020 updates about the fighter jets from the united states a lot of them moved from the united kingdom

00:53:08.480 So four extra US F-15s are now heading towards the Middle East.

00:53:13.480 They are basically almost there.

00:53:14.820 This image that we took from flight radar was there from a while ago.

00:53:19.140 And they also have large tankers providing refueling support to them as well.

00:53:25.980 So there's a lot that is still being moved to the region.

00:53:29.780 About one third of the US Navy is currently outside the Iranian territory as well.

00:53:36.500 so they are not messing about this is a the largest mobilization since the iraq war and but

00:53:44.580 we also have had a bit of a disruption in the persian gulf and in the strait of homos as you

00:53:50.740 guys know yesterday the islamic republic decided to temporarily close and block the strait of homos

00:53:58.900 which caused some issues for some of the vessels so dozens of cargo ships

00:54:05.860 and also tankers were essentially stuck in the persian gulf um waiting for a very long time in

00:54:13.220 order to be moved this is what basically is a maritime traffic jam and uh while the islamic

00:54:20.260 republic were doing the naval exercise watch this you can see they're all stuck there

00:54:34.900 Vanessa says, I thought Mossab Hassan Youssef was one of the good guys.

00:54:44.800 Why don't you like him?

00:54:46.120 If you watch Tutu TV regularly, you'll find out why. 0.98

00:54:49.500 Because Mossab is an absolute nutter who hates the Iranian people. 0.83

00:54:53.480 And that's just the Arab-Iranian conflict that's been going on. 0.94

00:54:56.700 He spent most of his time over the last few weeks attacking the Iranian revolution.

00:55:01.680 while also saying obviously I'm against the Islamic Republic

00:55:05.740 but these Iranians, these Iranians who are doing their revolution

00:55:10.200 just go and listen to his rants on X

00:55:12.820 you'll find out that obviously everybody's turned against him

00:55:15.080 including a lot of the Israelis, our good friends Emily Schrader

00:55:19.220 and many others are hitting back massively, rightly so 0.99

00:55:22.320 because the man is an absolute nutter 1.00

00:55:25.260 who will never be able to be a normal human being 1.00

00:55:29.760 So yeah, he's spending a lot of time attacking the Iranians,

00:55:31.920 attacking the revolution, the Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.

00:55:35.500 And of course, he's creating more conflict in this whole debate. 0.98

00:55:38.980 We don't really care about crazy Arab Nazis. 0.96

00:55:43.420 And now, and I'm being nice about it. 0.98

00:55:45.980 If you want to find out what actual Iranians think about the extremist Arabs,

00:55:50.780 you can go to Iran and ask them what they think of the son of Hamas.

00:55:55.080 Now, let's go as we also have updates on some of the other tankers from the United States and other aircrafts.

00:56:05.080 So nine of the most followed flights that are currently being tracked and monitored on flight radar are all US Air Force tankers.

00:56:18.080 Now, these are the KC-135Rs.

00:56:21.080 One of the main reasons for this is because people are trying to, a lot of the analysts are trying to figure out the number of tankers versus the number of fighter jets and everything else and bombers that you have in order to figure out.

00:56:35.640 If people are trying to figure out what sort of operation we're going to be expecting, it's not going to be easy to analyze because we don't know exactly how they want to carry out these attacks and in what sort of waves.

00:56:47.060 Are we going to have just one big wave? Are we going to have the first wave and then the second wave?

00:56:51.080 and are they going to just be simply hitting the ballistic missiles and the nuclear sites or are

00:56:56.840 they going to be doing much more as well whether they're going to be sending the delta force

00:57:01.420 special units special forces and everybody else you just have to wait and see what the operation

00:57:07.720 is going to be like there is yes we now yeah a lot of the local sources are saying that this next

00:57:15.980 video is actually an underground facility in tehran that has now been hit another explosion

00:57:24.700 Now there you go, the Islamic Republic continues to threaten to permanently block the Strait

00:57:46.720 of Hormuz. As we've been saying, this simply is going to be angering their own allies in Beijing

00:57:51.840 because the Chinese Communist Party benefit a lot from the Strait of Hormuz, so yeah it's going to

00:57:57.680 be fascinating to see the reaction. Paul says Mossab does come across unhinged at times, he's

00:58:02.960 always unhinged. Even when he was fighting against Hamas in Gaza, his rhetoric is completely unhinged

00:58:10.160 regardless. Just because he's against Hamas now, because he fell out with his dad, it doesn't

00:58:15.040 really mean that he's not unhinged so there is uh can diego garcia be an effective base they've

00:58:23.200 been only 2500 miles from tehran and jets have a 7 000 multi-capacity fuel load and out of range of

00:58:30.960 ballistic missiles and so they are already utilizing diego garcia as a base anyway but

00:58:36.000 it's been used as the the overall hub but obviously while sending them towards

00:58:41.280 the regional bases and USS Abraham Lincoln and of course

00:58:45.280 Gerald R. Ford that is on its way to

00:58:49.300 see you, the king of news, love from Israel. Thank you very much, love you guys in

00:58:53.340 Israel. I will be in Israel again in April by the way, I will be

00:58:57.320 speaking at the JNS conference in Jerusalem, I don't know what

00:59:01.340 date, I think it's about 12th of April, 11th, 12th of April, something like that

00:59:05.220 so I'm going to be there for a week, I forgot, I was supposed to actually change my

00:59:08.980 hotel i was we were originally going to be staying in jerusalem but i i can't stand jerusalem i'm more

00:59:15.880 of a tel aviv guy so we're going to move into tel aviv our hotel and then just drive for about an

00:59:21.340 hour which is a little bit i also hate driving so i i hate both right driving and also staying

00:59:26.560 in jerusalem it gets boring as let's talk about uh the the u.s again because um a true extra

00:59:35.240 and airborne radar aircraft these are their century ones the e3 centuries have now left

00:59:42.720 tel aviv speaking of tel aviv they are i think they're arriving they should have i think arrived

00:59:49.260 now in saudi arabia this is at the prince sultan air base let's go this is from earlier on i think

00:59:59.280 this was about an hour ago this video i can see tiny in the middle these are the radar aircraft

01:00:07.440 they are on their way towards a saudi uh they should be there now i think on or they're just

01:00:13.920 about to arrive someone says musab kept silent on hamas until october 7th he was saying certain

01:00:24.000 things before but not as much yes so somebody wants uh the irgc to stay in power and 2313 says

01:00:35.920 no war please don't worry no one's forcing you to go fight uh anyway um the uh the brave people in

01:00:44.960 the world what else do we have uh royal air force just flew over israel about five minutes ago yep

01:00:52.960 They are all on their way towards Saudi and also Jordan.

01:00:58.380 When Iran is liberated, what do you think the future will hold for Iran and also Turkey geopolitical relations?

01:01:05.400 Also, is there any future potential for a democratic Iran to join NATO?

01:01:11.360 No, probably not.

01:01:13.800 But yeah, there's no need to join NATO. 0.57

01:01:16.120 But the relationship with Turkey depends on how crazy Erdogan is going to be behaving as a human being.

01:01:22.960 it's not really up to Iran or the Iranians

01:01:25.840 because the position from the future democratic Iran

01:01:28.660 is going to be friendly towards everybody in the region.

01:01:32.320 But, I mean, the Americans can force Turkey

01:01:36.220 because it's a member of NATO to behave, but that's it.

01:01:40.080 There is always going to be a massive rivalry

01:01:43.260 between the Turks and the Iranians.

01:01:45.340 You can't really change that.

01:01:47.180 The Turks have become the new Arabs, basically,

01:01:50.360 While the rest of the Persian Gulf Arab countries are slowly becoming more civilized,

01:01:55.740 the Turkish establishment is taking the country backwards,

01:01:58.940 which is not really good because there's a lot of good people from Turkey

01:02:02.440 who would rather have a better country than what they are having under Erdogan's regime.

01:02:08.280 Now, there is the overall update in terms of the movement,

01:02:13.720 in case you haven't been following the channel the last couple of days.

01:02:17.080 Over the last 48 hours, that's just the last 48 hours, not the last few weeks, we've had the following list of the U.S. military deployment of their assets.

01:02:29.820 So we've had just the last 48 hours, 48 F-16 fighters, 12 F-22 stealth fighters.

01:02:39.520 We've had 18 F-35 fighters, six E-3G aircrafts and also 40, 40, around 40.

01:02:50.720 That's not a guarantee. It could be 42, it could be 39.

01:02:54.300 Aerial refueling tankers.

01:02:56.800 But we've also had many more refueling tankers that's already been deployed over the last couple of weeks.

01:03:05.060 But again, there's going to be more fighter jets in general.

01:03:11.020 2C, I love your news updates and your desire to bring facts instead of rhetoric.

01:03:15.300 Hopefully soon I can afford to get a subscription to 2C TV+.

01:03:19.760 God bless you.

01:03:20.720 Well, thank you very much for the support.

01:03:22.620 yeah of course if you join 2C TV Plus today you will get one month free if you

01:03:27.300 join as an annual subscriber just go on 2C.TV or find the link in the

01:03:32.160 description or scan the QR code if you're watching this on your TV someone says

01:03:37.740 2C fix your hair do you want to get banned don't bring the hair into this

01:03:46.080 it's not a good idea it's one of those days guys are one of those days anyway

01:03:51.780 So getting back to some other friendly, friendly comments, right?

01:03:56.880 We've been so far removed for military moves that this seems slow.

01:04:02.660 It's actually amazing how fast the U.S. is moving.

01:04:06.000 Get some rest soon from Oklahoma.

01:04:07.780 That is absolutely spot on.

01:04:09.300 I think it's because a lot of people have been watching a lot of Hollywood movies

01:04:12.200 and they haven't actually experienced the direct wars, at least by the U.S. in some time now.

01:04:18.020 Even though the U.S. military are always in constant state of war somewhere.

01:04:21.780 the american empire but in terms of initiating wars we haven't had one properly i mean venezuela

01:04:27.700 doesn't really count but even venezuela i've been repeating it it took months uh but everything

01:04:33.780 else you've had with when it comes to iraq when it comes to the the persian gulf war in the 90s

01:04:40.500 it took ages it and now the the mobilization has been so quick i think most of it is because

01:04:47.620 Because the actual intel and the infrastructure for the American bases, they were already on standby since the end of the 12-day war last year.

01:05:00.180 And the Israelis as well.

01:05:02.680 So they knew that eventually there's going to be a return to conflict anyway.

01:05:07.680 So you can make an argument that, well, they already have their bases.

01:05:11.620 They already have their generals.

01:05:12.940 They already have their intels.

01:05:14.100 all they need to do at this point is just send everybody there as opposed to for example the

01:05:19.940 beginning of the the persian gulf war or even the the operation in iraq in 2003 they had to

01:05:27.220 start from scratch and you can make that argument but it is going a lot quicker than it should

01:05:33.380 compared to any other conflict throughout history any other major conflict not necessarily airstrikes

01:05:38.420 because this is going to be uh more than that uh mossab arab ugly side works woke up

01:05:46.500 woke up is that a verb now are we using woke as a verb really okay woke up on iran as an israeli

01:05:54.740 i stand with none of his propaganda towards iran iranians and the righteous raza pahlavi

01:06:00.180 javichar see that that is a comment from an israeli uh see people have a common sense when

01:06:04.580 when it comes to Moussaf Hassan Youssef.

01:06:06.660 John says, great news here.

01:06:09.680 Love your content, God bless you,

01:06:12.260 and all be safe in your family circle.

01:06:15.100 Thank you very much.

01:06:17.300 To the person begging for no war,

01:06:19.500 better to help the people of Iran to kick out Khomeini

01:06:24.180 than to wait for him to new cuts.

01:06:26.280 Yeah, considering that Khomeini and his minions in Iran

01:06:31.280 declared war already on the United States in 1979 and constantly have been

01:06:37.420 killing and kidnapping and injuring American citizens, yeah, you've already

01:06:42.080 been at war for a few decades. It's just been a semi-warm war. And now we're just

01:06:46.860 going to make it extremely hot and sexy for the Ayatollahs. If they want it hot,

01:06:52.420 we'll make it hot. There we go. The pro-Pakistani guy is back. He's our

01:06:56.960 favorite new troll uh same to see if pakistan is so bad how come two of the richest business

01:07:04.160 families in pakistan are persians or russians because historically they have links

01:07:08.880 they are very and bandara families also so two leaders of pakistan were mixed the iranian

01:07:16.240 and yeah because again links their threat history and ancestors in that region of the world that

01:07:22.000 doesn't really uh explain why the pakistani government and military are a bunch of muppets

01:07:28.000 yeah just you know just because you have uh as i always say you have good people in pakistan

01:07:32.240 a lot of them have already left pakistan because i can't stand that place um doesn't necessarily

01:07:36.720 mean that your government are normal human beings and the rest of the culture when when a white

01:07:42.160 blonde woman goes to pakistan to report and this happened a number of times why is it that a huge

01:07:47.520 group come and touch her up like she's some sort of a disney character in disney world even there

01:07:55.280 yes you still have to pay ten dollars to take a photo with them in disneyland but uh i think it's

01:07:59.360 gone up probably from ten dollars but in pakistan you don't even pay the blonde woman that you're

01:08:03.680 touching it's just rude behavior you know i apologize for saying you were sick the other day

01:08:10.560 yeah i'm good although i just touched my nose it's just a habit uh also you may see one heck

01:08:16.800 of a fireworks show tonight so get the popcorn and beverages out stay safe yes although although it

01:08:24.320 is only wednesday so i still i'm gonna hold back until friday okay even though at this point

01:08:34.000 everybody keeps talking about uh friday it's always friday you're probably not gonna have

01:08:41.280 friday might be saturday might be thursday night but the stock markets they are already prepared

01:08:47.360 anyway everybody knows something is about to happen it's not a surprise war in that sense

01:08:54.800 rica says has there been any evidence of a missile or a bomb the b2 is stealth and no it wasn't it

01:09:02.560 wasn't a bomb from the top people would have known people would have seen something it was definitely

01:09:07.600 something from within on the ground uh so these are um planted devices clearly uh whatever i i

01:09:15.040 would love the reality to be that the irgc are so split that they are blowing themselves up

01:09:21.040 that will be the best explanation for what is happening with these attacks today in iran to

01:09:26.720 see your hair should be a national symbol for the new iran it will be part of the statue that will

01:09:31.680 that will make out of my big head it's going to be the biggest statue because of my big head

01:09:36.700 I wish Iranian people good luck and freedom.

01:09:40.760 Thank you, Vulture.

01:09:43.060 There's a storm grant.

01:09:44.360 Do the Marines know they might have to stay on their boats this time?

01:09:48.440 This has to be people's victory.

01:09:52.680 The Americans have had a number of experiences

01:09:55.720 over the last few decades in the Middle East.

01:10:00.160 Some of them did not go too well.

01:10:02.200 There was an operation in Iran that failed miserably.

01:10:04.560 there was an operation in afghanistan before 2001 and there were a couple of moments and we're

01:10:11.040 talking about the 80s and 90s primarily there were a couple of moments when the americans had to fight

01:10:16.760 in the desert things didn't go as planned but ironically speaking the both operations in 2001

01:10:26.360 in afghanistan that was successful and the 2003 in iraq which was not that successful it was

01:10:32.400 successful the the operation itself was successful they got rid of saddam but post-revolution iraq was

01:10:38.800 a bit of a mess and that that's down to the the iraqis being absolutely crazy but both iraq and

01:10:46.160 afghanistan really helped the americans to learn more about how messed up the middle east is and

01:10:53.200 how those lands and operate and and iran is is huge iran is is a crazy country with different

01:11:02.720 climates you've got mountains you've got you've got basically rainforests you've got deserts you've

01:11:07.680 got the the sea you've got different type of things you've got the snow you've got you've got

01:11:13.120 weird locations and the irgc are everywhere so you're going to have to go to the snowy mountains

01:11:19.280 You're going to have to go to the desert bit.

01:11:21.740 They have four seasons all at the same time, which is slightly confusing.

01:11:26.120 But that's why the Americans are now a lot more experienced than ever before when it comes to the Middle East.

01:11:32.800 What is happening?

01:11:36.500 Okay, according to CNN.

01:11:39.800 I know, CNN.

01:11:41.080 man. Israel has now raised its state of alert in the country. Okay, so I'll figure this out.

01:11:52.960 I'll find out what's going on over here. What? Okay. Do you think Trump prefers this kind of

01:12:02.240 covert war to an all-out invasion? I think he likes things to be swift and sexy and smooth

01:12:08.240 rather than boots on the ground but he also does like to mix and match because venezuela was

01:12:13.820 interesting there was a lot of bombs that were dropped and then obviously the special force

01:12:18.900 the delta force went in and they gave nicholas an uber ride to new york initially a short stop

01:12:26.680 at guantanamo bay which was absolutely hilarious armin i didn't realize you're here when did you

01:12:33.420 get get in uh right right on the clock like i think i was all right in time hi okay i was

01:12:41.100 waiting for you so we could be peach oh really you guys waited for me yes

01:21:09.640 power hour all right let's get into it because i don't want to yeah i don't want to take up more of

01:21:13.000 your time all right guys um by the way i'm gonna start with this uh barack revit i know you guys

01:21:21.240 don't like um axios but this guy specifically this guy has been a source of a lot of uh correct so

01:21:30.200 far correct data that has eventually came out i'm not saying he's always right you know the only

01:21:35.320 reason i'm hesitant about him is only because mark levin says that axios is like the al jazeera of

01:21:41.400 the united states that's the only reason like i have no other no other um knowledge about that

01:21:48.440 but that's just what mark levin said yeah so but there's a lot of other places that they're like

01:21:56.280 i know he works for access but this guy specifically seems to be a major source of a lot of

01:22:02.520 people so i know he works for access and channel 12 but he himself specifically seems to be some

01:22:08.840 somebody that everybody keeps referring to right okay so he just posted this he's saying u.s

01:22:14.520 president u.s president donald trump is close to issuing an order to launch a major war against

01:22:21.480 well he says iran he means islamic republic sources familiar with the details say such a war

01:22:27.880 could be come sooner and be far larger than most of the american public realizes details in my

01:22:37.560 article on channel 12. okay so guys uh goldie we might be entering into a massive massive war

01:22:47.960 at a scale that a lot of people are not even mentally ready for right and i'm not massive

01:22:54.960 when it comes to the scale of the attack i'm not necessarily i don't know how long it's going to

01:22:59.220 take but this is very important so let me just go over some of the details that we're getting right

01:23:04.560 now um so we're getting a lot of information right now with things moving more more military

01:23:11.940 assets moving around um and this is a summary of what's happening the united states and israel

01:23:17.500 are preparing for a potential joint military campaign against the regime in Iran that will

01:23:22.680 be massive, multi-week, and closely resemble an all-out war.

01:23:29.760 This is what the analysts are saying that they are observing.

01:23:32.840 It is expected to be far larger than the previous time of the war, obviously, or like it's going

01:23:38.260 to be much more significant than the operation of Venezuela.

01:23:41.680 Guys, we're not, we're not, this information, nothing is 100%, but this information is coming from so many people who know what they're talking about.

01:23:51.340 We're not talking about like people's tweets or, you know, like live streamers or YouTubers or bloggers.

01:23:58.320 We're talking about people close to the decision makers, right?

01:24:04.600 And people who are observing that how things are moving around, right?

01:24:08.580 So President Trump is closer than ever to initiating military action.

01:24:14.100 He expects total submission from the regime, but the regime is only offering minor concessions.

01:24:20.520 Guys, remember I told you that President Trump was basically mentioned that on Tuesday when the Araqchi was meeting with Whitcoff and Kushner,

01:24:31.920 that was the last chance that they have to come out with everything that the Trump administration wanted.

01:24:38.580 And they didn't have anything, and the Trump administration is not making a big deal out of it.

01:24:44.040 The fact that they didn't actually deliver anything that the Trump administration was expecting, they kind of talked about it a little bit.

01:24:51.380 But the fact that they're talking about it very little means that to us, to a lot of people, it seems that something big is happening behind closed doors.

01:25:02.040 So they're dragging out the negotiations.

01:25:03.880 okay so this whole delay delay tactic is not working remember that president trump also

01:25:10.560 gave a deadline for when he's going to attack and last time he did that with the 12-day war

01:25:16.180 he right at the end of the deadline he attacked so right now he gave a one month deadline

01:25:22.580 and goldie if i'm not mistaken we we have already passed one week into that one month deadline

01:25:29.180 Correct me, guys, in the chat if I'm mistaken, right?

01:25:32.440 Remember, during the 12-day war, the day after the deadline, a lot of people assume that, oh, Trump just comes in and he gives a deadline and the deadline passes and nothing happens.

01:25:44.000 In the 12-day war, it became clear that, oh, actually, these deadlines do mean something because the day after the deadline, the attack happened, right?

01:25:54.040 So we have right now unprecedented deployment over the last 48 hours.

01:25:58.500 So, guys, you remember how we came out and talked about all of these assets coming around in the Middle East?

01:26:03.940 So, we're not repeating that.

01:26:05.900 We're talking about the past 48 hours has been very, very significant.

01:26:11.800 United States has exponentially, exponentially accelerated its military deployment to the Middle East,

01:26:19.840 conducting over 150 equipment and transport flights.

01:26:25.400 uh we have 50 advanced fighter jets have been deployed this includes at least 12 f-22 stealth

01:26:33.700 fighters um sent via the uk and three full uh squadrons uh 36 aircraft of f-16 fighter bombers

01:26:42.280 and dispatch from the us italy and germany f-35s uh u2 spy planes and are also active right guys

01:26:52.200 So as significant as everything before this was, the past 48 hours is like on a different scale.

01:26:59.140 It's like crazy.

01:26:59.680 It's like it's it's basically if we don't have war, it would be the most extraordinary thing that has ever happened in the history of warfare.

01:27:10.920 This much movement on military assets and then nothing has never happened.

01:27:15.660 Like I'm not exaggerating, has never happened.

01:27:18.640 If this if we don't see an attack, this would be the first time in history of any military in history that this much military equipment moved into a location and then nothing.

01:27:31.120 Right. So we have support and refueling a massive continuous stream of aerial refueling tankers is flying from the U.S. to Europe and the Middle East,

01:27:40.220 allowing combat aircraft and aircraft to operate indefinitely deep inside the vast territory

01:27:47.260 uh over iran in the iranian airspace right so command and control 2e3 um

01:27:55.500 i don't know how to pronounce it there's another aircraft e3 century century awacs aircraft have

01:28:02.380 landed in the uk so i didn't know what these are so i looked it up these are critical for managing

01:28:09.100 aerial combat and intercepting drones and cruise missiles apparently so we have also naval assets

01:28:15.740 as as i mentioned before i made the one wrong prediction but we don't one wrong prediction that

01:28:22.060 i made was i expected that the ussm lincoln that the the other uh naval asset that is going to

01:28:30.940 be added to that the aircraft carrier that is going to be added to that was supposed to be the

01:28:36.380 george hw bush carrier strike group but apparently it's the uss general r ford aircraft carrier

01:28:45.580 strike group which is the most advanced carrier strike group that the united states has so that

01:28:50.780 is significant i'm still hoping that the george hw bush also participates because we have still

01:28:59.180 another three weeks for the deadline to end but and also the georgia shabby bush requires another

01:29:06.940 three weeks to get ready so it basically matches that um it would match that uh i mean it also

01:29:15.900 might be yes sorry sorry to interrupt um this might add to your analysis so president trump

01:29:22.140 um just posted this like 30 35 minutes ago wow okay so let me read it for you i've been telling

01:29:30.800 prime minister keir starmer of the uk that leases are no good when it comes to countries and that

01:29:35.840 he's making a big mistake by entering a 100 year lease with whoever it is that is claiming right

01:29:42.060 title and interest to diego garcia strategically located in the indian ocean our relationship with

01:29:47.980 uk is a strong and powerful one and it it has been for many years but prime minister starmer

01:29:53.740 is losing control of this important island by claims of entities never known of before in our

01:29:59.740 opinion they are fictitious in nature look at this should iran decide not to make a deal it may be

01:30:08.300 necessary for the united states to use diego garcia and the airfield located in fairford in

01:30:14.460 order to eradicate a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous regime an attack that would

01:30:21.100 potentially be made on on the uk as well as other friendly countries prime minister starmer should

01:30:26.620 not lose control for any reason of diego garcia by entering a tenuous at best 100 year lease

01:30:32.620 this land should not be taken away from the uk and if it is allowed to be it will be a blight

01:30:37.020 on our great ally we will always be ready willing and able to fight for the uk but they have to

01:30:42.620 remain strong in the face of wokeism and other

01:30:44.620 problems put before them, do

01:30:46.660 not give away Diego Garcia.

01:30:51.480 So

01:30:52.120 I've never seen

01:30:56.200 a statement for my president of

01:31:00.680 United States bring up

01:31:02.400 a military

01:31:04.400 strategy and

01:31:06.780 wokeism as a threat

01:31:08.680 to it in one

01:31:10.720 statement at the same time.

01:31:12.620 Which is, which I support, by the way, I really like that.

01:31:17.400 That is amazing.

01:31:19.420 No, I just wanted to share that with you because that might, that might, I don't know, somehow fit into your military analysis that you're talking about.

01:31:27.200 I don't know if it does, but I just wanted to share that.

01:31:30.400 Yes.

01:31:32.040 Fantastic.

01:31:32.720 Okay, good.

01:31:34.880 All right.

01:31:36.660 So, I mean, there's going to be a lot of reactions to that.

01:31:41.600 So maybe the next time I'll come up, I'll also review the reactions to that.

01:31:47.280 It's very interesting that this is the time that he is making that statement.

01:31:53.940 And the control over the island and vocism and military strategy against the Islamic Republic, all in the same post.

01:32:03.920 There's a lot there to unpack.

01:32:06.000 okay so i think i think you could do an entire stream talking about just that one post but um

01:32:14.480 maybe i'll maybe i'll in the discussion group that we have i'll i'll check with the

01:32:18.400 people there and see what they think about it so maybe i'll bring it up um yeah so nature of the

01:32:25.360 attack goldie so so we had our own thoughts regarding what this attack is going to be

01:32:33.600 looking at look looking like now let's look at what some of the top analysts are saying

01:32:40.160 and you guys in the chat let me know how much you agree with this okay so nature of the attack the

01:32:45.920 assault will be again none of this is guaranteed this is what the analysts think okay the assault

01:32:50.960 would be an air-centric standoff war utilizing long-range long-range fire power and cruise

01:32:59.120 missiles rather than a massive ground invasion, obviously, with armored divisions.

01:33:04.400 However, U.S. or Israeli special forces will likely infiltrate deep into the Islamic Republic

01:33:11.800 to sabotage nuclear missile and political targets.

01:33:17.440 So that is very interesting.

01:33:18.960 I did not expect the analysts to come out and say this this soon.

01:33:22.240 they expect some boots on the ground not like an invasion not like armored division you know

01:33:31.760 you know like iraq type of invasion but there are going to be special forces getting in and trying

01:33:39.800 to probably take out i would expect for example when if khamini being a target i think khamini

01:33:48.700 being a target might require um some boots on the ground but maybe maybe we'll see because

01:33:57.740 yeah we'll see about that but i'm i'm almost sure that when it comes to the enrichment uranium

01:34:05.180 facilities that would require some special operations on the ground beyond just aerial

01:34:11.180 bombardment you cannot just you like there needs to be a secure a securing of the enriched uranium

01:34:19.180 that is already there which you cannot do from air so expect reports from uh for some special

01:34:28.140 operations on the ground at least at least when it comes to the enriched uranium we'll see if there

01:34:34.460 There is more required for the missiles and political targets.

01:34:38.740 We know, guys, for the 12-day war, a lot of people, when they talk about the 12-day war,

01:34:44.700 everything they remember from the 12-day war is things going boom, boom from the air, right?

01:34:50.740 But most people who have been remembering more accurately what happened, we had Mossad

01:34:56.880 agents on the ground uh sabotaging like basically destroying the launchers remember using drones

01:35:04.800 guys remember that during the 12 day war there were a lot of people there were a lot of agents

01:35:09.120 on the ground that were participating in um activating the drones that went and stopped so

01:35:17.120 many of the launchers that were being uh that were launching missiles at israel and they were stopped

01:35:22.560 So you might expect that.

01:35:24.780 By the way, guys, I very much expect for Mossad agents to have been at least doubled since the 12-day war.

01:35:36.660 And I do think that there are a lot of Iranian Mossad agents will be participating again in this war.

01:35:44.640 So guys, please, please, please remember that when we talk about Mossad agents,

01:35:49.780 we're not talking about Israelis, we're talking about Iranians. It is possible that most Mossad

01:35:58.020 agents are now Iranian, given the heavy recruitment of Mossad inside Iran. There are so many Iranians

01:36:08.260 that want to be Mossad agents. So every time you see Mossad operating inside Iran, these are

01:36:15.140 heroic Iranians who are basically fighting to save their country. The training and the

01:36:22.140 missions and the directions comes from Mossad, but it's the Iranians underground that are

01:36:28.800 carrying out the Mossad operations, right? So given the level of motivation for Iranian

01:36:40.400 people to free their country in the past couple of weeks, especially. I mean, it has always been

01:36:46.880 very high. But after the massacre of the Islamic Republic, a lot of Iranians are trying to figure

01:36:52.080 out everything that they possibly could do to bring about the fall of the Islamic Republic

01:36:56.480 earlier. And Mossad has active channels that people could securely come and apply to be a

01:37:05.600 and Mossad agents through different, you know, links that Mossad offers inside Iran.

01:37:12.040 And they also teach you how to do it securely so you don't get caught.

01:37:17.260 And I'm pretty sure Mossad gets way more applications from Iran

01:37:20.740 than they could even handle.

01:37:22.300 But given the high level of applications that they get,

01:37:25.260 the number of people who eventually do become Mossad agents

01:37:28.520 are probably a lot higher than before.

01:37:31.980 So I do think that during this, when this war happens, I'm pretty sure Mossad will use this as Iranian assets on the ground and do whatever they need to do to reduce the harm that the Islamic Republic could do so that the attack could be carried out.

01:37:51.400 Guys, this is going to be very difficult.

01:37:55.500 Remember, guys, I always tell you that, you know, you see the amount of military assets that Goldie is showing on the screen.

01:38:04.200 This is from before.

01:38:06.040 Now there is even more than that.

01:38:07.740 Remember that a fraction of this is required.

01:38:10.640 A fraction of this is required to be able to hit wherever you need inside Iran.

01:38:15.920 The reason why all of this military asset is being gathered around the region is not all because it's needed to attack the Islamic Republic.

01:38:25.300 They're there to defend 11 countries.

01:38:28.260 The difficult part is not hitting your target.

01:38:31.180 The difficult part is to defend 11 countries at the same time against thousands of missiles that will be launched maybe at the same point.

01:38:41.660 probably they won't be able to launch it at the same time but you have to get ready for

01:38:46.060 them being launched at the same time 11 countries need to be defended 11 countries right so it's

01:38:52.920 really hard to defend you have to try to make sure not a single missile hits any of the highly

01:38:59.200 populated areas in any of these countries and you have to also make sure that not a single

01:39:04.820 American soldier dies and I'll tell you why because it's really high stakes if

01:39:11.120 a failure to secure a decisive victory would severely damage US global

01:39:19.800 credibility in the eyes of rivals like China and Russia this is the this will

01:39:25.340 be a massive by the way this is actually a huge risk that President Trump is

01:39:29.960 taking if this attack happens because this will this will be a huge risk to his legacy

01:39:39.400 so this if this is happening it has to be done perfectly perfectly preferably with zero american

01:39:47.560 soldiers dying zero american soldiers dying so this has to be done right this has to be done

01:39:53.800 fast this has to be done effectively and this has to be done while def while america defends all of

01:40:00.200 its allies completely and perfectly and most importantly than every anything for america

01:40:06.360 this has to be done without a single american soldier die a failure to secure this will be

01:40:12.600 very damaging for the legacy uh of trump um and this also if if they target if they if they're

01:40:20.920 targeting the supreme leader achieving that is essential hitting hitting if they if they if

01:40:28.520 they're targeting khamenei and they miss that would be that would that would be the greatest

01:40:34.600 propaganda gift to the islamic republic so they should not miss it has to be done right this is

01:40:40.200 why this has been taken so long remember guys a lot of iranians might be frustrated why this is

01:40:45.320 taking so long if this war had if this war took place and it wasn't absolutely perfect

01:40:52.520 even if the islamic republic gets hit really really hard if they don't fall it's a win for

01:40:58.520 them this is the problem that we're having okay the problem is that islamic republic from their

01:41:04.040 perspective as long as they don't die no matter how much you damage them no how no matter how 0.60

01:41:10.680 much you bloody them no matter how much you take out their military assets or their commanders

01:41:18.840 if they still survive for them this is a win because your goal was to get rid of them and 0.97

01:41:24.600 they're still there so they will effectively sell this as a win so anything short of complete

01:41:31.080 victory would be a propaganda win for the islamic republic and even with all of the military assets

01:41:37.720 and military commanders that they will lose or politicians that they will lose if they survive

01:41:44.200 for them it was worth it for them this war was actually a net benefit because it proved to their

01:41:52.120 followers that not even and not even a full head-to-head confrontational war with the

01:42:01.080 superpower of the world can get rid of us like what that would do so imagine if basically

01:42:07.880 president trump gave into the demands of so many people to attack sooner and imagine that we we

01:42:14.440 went to a war and it was significant and it was big and it was really costly for the islamic

01:42:20.840 republic but they didn't it didn't topple the regime and guys even if they could topple the

01:42:27.080 regime, if in the middle of the war, the cost of the war to America is high, for example,

01:42:35.720 losing soldiers or losing the inability to defend your allies, because America is a democracy,

01:42:44.120 the political pressure on the White House would be so high that even if they could finish the war

01:42:51.320 from a military perspective they wouldn't be able to finish the war from a political perspective

01:42:57.560 that's why the war has to be fast and very very effective and efficient and it needs to be

01:43:04.160 very very aggressive because they need to finish it fast before the political because a lot of

01:43:09.820 people when they when they try to measure the strength of the united states they only look at

01:43:14.840 the military strength what they're not taking into account is the political cost in democracies

01:43:20.720 you have to take the political cause into consideration.

01:43:23.940 And that's why if it drags along,

01:43:25.680 that's why if it becomes too chaotic in the Middle East,

01:43:28.180 that's why if American soldiers die,

01:43:30.380 America might be forced to stop the attack

01:43:33.120 before the attack finishes,

01:43:35.000 and the Islamic Republic will survive,

01:43:36.720 and the net benefit would be higher for the Islamic Republic

01:43:39.980 because every single follower of Ali Khamenei would be,

01:43:43.780 we must be on the right side,

01:43:45.900 we must be the soldiers of Imam Mahdi,

01:43:48.340 we must be blessed by Allah,

01:43:50.120 Because not even the United States managed with all their Navy, with all their carrier strike groups, with everything they have, they came at us and we're still here.

01:44:00.380 So we must be on God's side. And this would be a huge win to them. And it will also be a win propaganda wise to all their supporters outside of Iran.

01:44:11.400 It will be a win for Hashdashabi because they will be able to convince their members that they defeated the United States.

01:44:17.400 It would be a win for Hezbollah, it would be a win for Zeynep, Fatim, Qatayyam, Hamas, all of them.

01:44:24.760 That's why the delay is justified, okay?

01:44:29.020 I know it's hard to accept that because Iranians are literally dying as we're speaking inside Iran by the Islamic Republic.

01:44:37.740 So I understand why you guys want this to happen sooner, but this is why Iranians would die more if this attack is not the way it should be, if it's not completely complete.

01:44:50.180 So I understand your frustration, but this is why this attack might be taking longer than a lot of you want.

01:44:57.580 um armin would it would it also be um appropriate to label this because like some people are saying

01:45:06.780 like you know united states is getting ready for war um but i don't really see it as war i see it

01:45:13.100 more of as like liberation right like the united states is not interested in like a long extended

01:45:19.980 drawn out thing, right? Like they basically want to just go in, do what needs to be done and just,

01:45:28.640 you know, destroy the regime as soon and as quick as possible. And, you know, Senator Lindsey Graham

01:45:37.500 as well has said that, you know, they're not interested in boots on the ground. You know,

01:45:43.780 neither are we, right? Kingers of Pahlavi has also said, you know, we're not interested

01:45:47.820 um in boots on the ground either so do you think that maybe one of the reasons we're seeing this

01:45:55.400 massive build-up is exactly because of that it's because you know kind of like what shock and all

01:46:01.540 or whatever like they just want to go in just you know strike strike once strike hard you know

01:46:08.660 get them all at once at one time because no one's interested in a long drawn-out war

01:46:13.780 Yes, you're completely correct. President Trump's main criteria for this is that it needs to be very, what he wants to avoid the most is the dragged out war in the region.

01:46:28.320 He wants to make sure that this is very short. And actually, you're very correct because the amount of military assets that we're seeing in the region not only is required to defend all those 11 countries,

01:46:41.440 but it's also what's required to make sure that this is done quickly and fast.

01:46:46.340 And because there's not going to be any boots on the ground,

01:46:48.480 if you want to have maximum damage in a very short amount of time

01:46:52.580 without any boots on the ground,

01:46:54.060 that's why it takes this level of military assets.

01:46:58.140 Have you heard about, like, I just saw this.

01:47:02.240 I don't know if you've seen this or not,

01:47:03.600 but there's this account that I follow on X called War Monitor.

01:47:07.980 um they have like almost a million followers and apparently they've now confirmed that

01:47:16.300 russian warships have arrived in iranian ports near the gulf of oman

01:47:21.240 and then i looked this up and there's this news article from a few hours ago where iran

01:47:31.740 announces joint naval drills with russia raising fears of accidental escalation so apparently it's

01:47:39.420 true that russian warships have have entered the area so i mean i'll send you this article i i

01:47:46.220 literally just saw this but um again like i'm not i'm not like a military person so i don't even

01:47:51.180 know how to like analyze this stuff but i would love your your feedback input on this yeah so this

01:47:57.020 This is actually very resembles the helicopters that the Islamic Republic recently received.

01:48:03.960 Remember we also saw that.

01:48:06.540 So attack helicopters.

01:48:08.680 So from a Chinese and Russian perspective, obviously they would want to sit this one

01:48:14.860 out.

01:48:15.860 Like they don't want to.

01:48:16.860 Somebody in the chat is saying World War III.

01:48:18.360 No guys, this is not going to be World War III at all.

01:48:21.200 Not even close to it.

01:48:23.060 Neither China or Russia are interested in coming in and defending the Islamic Republic.

01:48:27.180 They are interested in giving the Islamic Republic some military assets to make the war.

01:48:33.780 There's three reasons why Russia and or China, mostly Russia, would be interested, and China as well,

01:48:41.880 would be interested in giving the Islamic Republic military assets right now without them getting involved at all is three reasons, if I remember them.

01:48:51.920 Yeah, one reason is that obviously increase the cost to the United States, okay, for conducting this war.

01:48:59.540 Second reason is to gather as much information as possible regarding United States military strategy.

01:49:12.700 So this is why if I was, for example, the CCP right now, what I would give the Islamic Republic is anything that could like radar or any other intelligence gathering information with the condition that I get to get that information as well.

01:49:30.720 So it would be very, if I was the CCP, I would be helping the Islamic Republic in that way, so that when the United States attacks, I could basically collect a lot of the information regarding how, in a real world, how the United States operates.

01:49:46.400 That's the second reason.

01:49:47.700 The third reason why, if I was Russia or China, I would give military assets to the Islamic Republic is because I want to see, especially China, this one is especially China.

01:49:59.680 I haven't been in a war for a very long time as China, okay?

01:50:05.280 I have no idea how my weapons operate in a real wartime condition.

01:50:11.140 So if I was China, I would be desperate right now to give some military equipment to the Islamic Republic

01:50:17.080 so that they could use it, so I could see how my weapons operate in a real warlike scenario.

01:50:23.260 That would be very valuable information that I don't have.

01:50:29.400 so that that's what i would do however do not at all expect china or russia to come and

01:50:36.040 participate in a war with directly with united states for the islamic republic that makes

01:50:41.640 absolutely no sense i mean i hope you guys know that makes no sense right and let me know if you

01:50:46.840 need that explanation for that they would never do that is the islamic republic is not worth it

01:50:51.640 that would damage china's economy way more than any benefit the islamic republic has for china

01:50:57.720 it makes absolutely no sense for them okay i mean they they don't even know if they could basically

01:51:03.720 um defend their own territory like if if it comes to war with united states like in their own

01:51:09.400 backyard let alone in the middle east obviously they're going to be crushed uh guys remember

01:51:14.760 china when we're talking about china's military ability compared to united states we're only

01:51:21.240 talking about comparing them in the pacific everywhere else in the world the united states

01:51:26.600 completely dominates like it's a joke china's military ability anywhere else in the world

01:51:32.520 other than their own backyard united states dominates the planet right so if if big if china

01:51:40.120 ever gets to have some superiority over americans that will just be in their own backyard nowhere

01:51:49.080 else. And that's a big if. Okay, so Israel's direct involvement. So according to, again,

01:51:59.380 Barak Ravid, which is a prominent journalist, regardless of where he's working for,

01:52:04.660 the campaign will be a joint US-Israel operation. So remember, we gave you three different options

01:52:12.740 regarding how Israel would be involved. Let's see how he thinks Israel would be involved. So it

01:52:17.860 He says, immediate participation.

01:52:19.820 Israel will be involved from the very beginning.

01:52:22.780 So some people were suggesting that Israel might actually start before United States.

01:52:27.960 So Israel will actually lead the attack.

01:52:30.260 But he's saying that they would be joint U.S. and Israel from the beginning.

01:52:36.880 So Israel would be involved from the very beginning as any solo U.S. strike would inevitably result in the regime of the Islamic Republic,

01:52:47.280 retaliating directly against Israel anyway, so it doesn't make any sense to basically get the U.S.

01:52:52.640 involved and then wait for the Islamic Republic to attack Israel and then for Israel to get

01:52:57.440 involved. So given that we know the first thing they're going to do when United States attacks,

01:53:02.320 the first thing the Islamic Republic is going to do is attack Israel in response,

01:53:06.480 so why even wait for that, right? By the way, when Israel gets involved, their first priority

01:53:14.320 would be the air defense second priority would be launchers so they need to take out the launchers

01:53:20.720 of the islamic republic right the missile launchers and guys remember as as big of a joke the missiles

01:53:26.800 are of the islamic republic there's three types of um military strikes from the islamic republic

01:53:33.600 that will go that will go towards israel it's the drones the cruise missiles um and the ballistic

01:53:39.600 missiles okay so the crew the islamic republic knows that the cruise missiles and the drones

01:53:45.200 will not hit anywhere inside israel okay so why do they launch them you guys know why did it launch

01:53:51.680 them the point is for the ballistic missiles to hit something but the reason why the drones and

01:53:57.520 the cruise missiles will get launched at the same time is because to occupy the defense system of

01:54:04.960 Israel. So it's very easy for Israel to take out the cruise missiles and the drones, but given that

01:54:11.040 it needs to dedicate some manpower, some focus, some military assets towards neutralizing them,

01:54:22.640 that would, in the Islamic Republic's perspective, that would make the ballistic missiles more likely

01:54:28.720 to hit the ground in Israel. And remember, the ballistic missiles' main points are to have a

01:54:33.840 nuclear head, so why would they be used by the Islamic Republic right now, given that they're

01:54:38.880 not very accurate at all, is because even though the ballistic missiles are not very accurate,

01:54:45.760 the Islamic Republic uses them in downtown Tel Aviv, highly populated areas where you don't

01:54:52.400 need to be very accurate. This is why the Islamic Republic is not really attacking military bases

01:54:58.080 anymore because every time it uses these missiles to hit a military base, if you want to hit a

01:55:02.800 military base you need to actually hit a very specific target like where a plane is or where

01:55:07.360 something important is if you hit a ballistic missile it will like it's just going to make

01:55:12.320 a big hole in the ground and not hit anything specific so the islamic republic what hits this

01:55:17.120 ballistic missiles into downtown where the people are because even if it's not accurate as long as

01:55:22.400 it hits a building uh in their mind is just going to kill a bunch of civilians and that's a win for

01:55:27.760 in their perspective so that's why the ballistic missile is not being very accurate when they're

01:55:31.840 when it comes to targeting for Islamic Republic,

01:55:35.100 they overcome that limitations by going for highly populated areas,

01:55:39.600 which is a war crime, by the way.

01:55:42.240 Okay, so despite the imminent threats,

01:55:47.220 the Israeli military's Home Front Command

01:55:49.380 has not yet ordered the public to open bomb shelters.

01:55:55.500 This is very interesting.

01:55:56.740 Guys, why do you think that is?

01:55:58.460 Is it because they want to keep the element of surprise

01:56:01.000 because if they do this maybe they reduce the element of surprise but this is a bit strange that

01:56:06.840 they have it so people in israel maybe you could comment in the chat what you think this is there's

01:56:11.720 there's not yet any order to open bomb shelters i think this is something that will happen last

01:56:18.600 second right based on my talk to my friends in israel this is like this will happen like very

01:56:24.840 immediately before the attacks it's not something that you would do ahead of time but the fact that

01:56:29.640 people are even talking about why they haven't ordered the public to open their bomb shelters

01:56:36.440 suggest that maybe the attack is coming earlier than a lot of us think but i don't know we'll

01:56:42.280 see okay because we have been here before right um however municipalities and hospitals are

01:56:50.280 independently right now as we're speaking preparing in israel and the israeli public

01:56:54.920 is intensely uh you know getting ready sensing a pre-war like sensing a pre-war atmosphere

01:57:02.920 israelis in the chat let me know how you're feeling right now is this a sense that you're

01:57:07.320 getting like is your is the environment right now in israel um anxious ready um are you guys getting

01:57:14.440 prepared like let me let me know how like it would be good if we know from get some information from

01:57:20.040 you guys what's happening right now in israel right so let's go we did united states we did

01:57:24.920 israel let's now go to the islamic republic so what's happening there so satellite imagery

01:57:29.240 confirmed by reuters and the institute for science and international security reveals the regime in

01:57:35.560 iran is rapidly reinforcing and burying a strategic nuclear and missile sites to protect them from

01:57:42.600 the impending strikes guys this shows that even the islamic republic thinks that an attack is imminent

01:57:47.800 is happening, so

01:57:49.900 everybody is

01:57:52.200 getting ready for war,

01:57:54.160 including the Islamic Republic, so this is

01:57:56.180 why everybody thinks that this is

01:57:58.160 going to happen one way or another. Again,

01:58:00.200 nothing is for certain, but

01:58:02.060 yes, so we have

01:58:03.340 in Parachin, okay, at the

01:58:05.860 Parachin military complex,

01:58:09.500 the

01:58:09.740 Talaghan 2

01:58:12.300 facility has been heavily

01:58:14.260 reinforced with armed concrete

01:58:16.320 and completely buried under dirt to camouflage it

01:58:19.780 and make it impenetrable to bunker-busting bombs.

01:58:24.440 I don't know if that actually works, but okay, whatever.

01:58:26.700 You can try.

01:58:28.980 And then we have in Natanz.

01:58:31.260 Near Natanz, previously buried areas are being reconstructed.

01:58:39.320 Massive cylindrical towers estimated at 36 meters long

01:58:44.780 and 12 meters wide.

01:58:46.320 typically used for producing high purity nuclear materials are being built.

01:58:52.740 In Esfahan, the regime is actively camouflaging and blocking the entrance

01:58:57.020 to the underground tunnel networks at the Esfahan nuclear science.

01:59:01.340 I don't know.

01:59:02.500 Guys, I'm not a military expert.

01:59:04.320 I'm just reading these reports.

01:59:05.600 Can somebody explain to me what would camouflaging the entrance do,

01:59:11.860 given that you already know where the entrance,

01:59:14.800 like when your enemy knows where the entrance is what's the point of camouflaging it like it's not

01:59:20.800 like you're going to be moving be able to move the interest it's already been locked in i mean they

01:59:26.480 could up they're observing you camouflaging them so can somebody explain to me what's the point of

01:59:32.000 camouflaging the interest when the enemy already can see where what you're doing so then we have

01:59:37.440 missile bases in Shiraz and Qom have been fully repaired and operationalized. Really? Okay. Well,

01:59:47.260 this is good for us, by the way, guys. This means that Israel is not going to back down on making

01:59:52.960 sure that they do regime change if they actually manage to fully repair them, according to these

01:59:58.740 reports. Equipment and aircraft are being rushed underground in some cases. Guys, this is all

02:00:06.000 happening in the past 48 hours right so given the rush rush movement of the equipment it seemed like

02:00:12.520 the islamic republic is thinking that oh this is going to happen like like very soon in some cases

02:00:19.020 the wings of airplanes are being detached just so they can fit into the subterranean bunkers

02:00:28.040 interesting i didn't know that that's okay that's good to know um so goldie i want to show you

02:00:35.360 if oh my god i'm running out of time okay i need to show you something really quickly let me see

02:00:40.800 which ones i have time to show okay i'll just show this one because i think you're going to enjoy

02:00:44.800 this you can always come back after too yes i'll try if you too yes yes and also i have to see if

02:00:55.040 i actually have enough data to come back because what if i come back and i'm like well i don't have

02:01:00.080 have anything to share well we're just going to be doom scrolling a lot of people are thinking

02:01:05.660 that this is the build-up who knows i mean okay but look at this look at this um i want to share

02:01:10.640 this really really quickly it's like a it's like a 10 second clip this is from today so press

02:01:17.400 secretary uh levitt said trump has been very clear that with respect to iran or any country around

02:01:22.400 the world diplomacy is always his first option and iran would be very wise to make a deal so

02:01:26.840 she's basically saying there's no deal yet the president has always been very clear though with

02:01:30.980 respect to iran or any country around the world diplomacy is always his first option and iran

02:01:35.600 would be very wise to make a deal with president trump and with this administration he's talking

02:01:41.740 to many people of course his national security team first and foremost and you know who the

02:01:46.960 members of that team are and this is something obviously the president takes seriously he's

02:01:52.080 always thinking about what's in the best interest of the united states of america of our military

02:01:55.880 of the american people um and that's how he makes decisions with respect to military action of any

02:02:01.400 kind it it it's giving me the same sort of vibes as like what before uh they attacked during the

02:02:10.140 12-day conflict and went after the um nuclear facilities and the primaduro talks was exactly

02:02:17.040 like this you know i just it's very interesting because yesterday i was just watching a video

02:02:22.160 from her, I think it was her,

02:02:26.700 that she was talking about

02:02:28.280 right before they attacked Maduro.

02:02:32.320 Oh, wait.

02:02:33.300 Right before they attacked Maduro,

02:02:35.180 they talked about like,

02:02:36.500 oh, we're willing to talk.

02:02:37.560 We talk to anybody.

02:02:38.580 This was,

02:02:39.620 they were saying the exact same thing

02:02:42.320 about talking to Maduro

02:02:43.500 right before they went and took him.

02:02:48.240 Goldie, I don't know if you saw this video

02:02:50.920 uh from christian amon poor yeah i saw it i saw that i mean i'm i'm glad they called her out but

02:02:59.800 then i'm like they could have been like a bit more polite about it because like people are using that

02:03:03.800 to attack us and they're like oh like why are they attacking journalists and so i don't know i mean

02:03:09.320 i mean you can show it like i know it's fine like show it um okay viewers can see yeah yeah

02:03:14.520 So let us know in the chat what you think about this. I think people, I understand why

02:03:24.280 some people would be concerned, why are they attacking her like this. But honestly, people

02:03:29.960 are dying. And he's basically like a mouthpiece of the Islamic Republic. And she's attacking

02:03:37.880 Princes of Pallavi, which was our only hope for us to get free from the Islamic Republic.

02:03:42.520 so i don't yeah i mean i get i get what you're saying it would be like i i despise her i can't

02:03:49.000 stand her so like i i completely understand why they did that but it's just a lot of people don't

02:03:55.000 a lot of people don't know how evil she is so but yeah show the video okay guys let us know in the

02:04:01.720 chat what you think about this so i'll play it once without translating and then i'll translate

02:04:12.520 all of the Iranians who went with them

02:04:17.520 because of the Queen of Riza Pahdabir

02:04:21.520 and you are very guilty of it.

02:04:24.520 You are guilty of it.

02:04:27.520 I am not guilty of it.

02:04:29.520 You are guilty of it.

02:04:31.520 You are guilty of it.

02:04:33.520 You are guilty of it.

02:04:35.520 You are guilty of it.

02:04:37.520 You are guilty of it.

02:04:39.520 Don't touch me, don't touch me, you only, you decided to lobby for regime, you decided to lobby for regime.

02:04:54.520 You are the Islamic Republic.

02:04:59.520 You are the Islamic Republic of Ayatollah.

02:05:03.520 You are the Islamic Republic. 0.96

02:05:05.520 Shame on you. 1.00

02:05:08.520 You are stupid. 1.00

02:05:11.520 You are stupid. 1.00

02:05:13.520 She is the propagandist of the Islamic Republic. 1.00

02:05:16.520 You don't know her.

02:05:19.520 She is with...

02:05:22.520 okay so the most of it was english so just the first part if i want to try so she's saying this

02:05:29.620 is a mom i want to say something to you so she's saying in the in respect to the spirit of all the

02:05:43.700 iranians who were killed so who went with love

02:05:54.180 who went with love to support princes of paladin

02:05:59.780 and you insulted them and by the way uh apparently ammanpur doesn't know what tohin

02:06:05.540 means in persian so tohin means insult so she starts asking what does tohin mean

02:06:10.180 so she's saying which means what does to him mean so her persian is not very good

02:06:19.700 so now she realized that now she's saying now stop

02:06:24.580 so she now he's attacking her saying like shame basically means shame on you

02:06:35.220 so this person is saying which means like you're not being you know impolite impolite but

02:06:40.180 Kogbaer Ser is not an insulting word.

02:06:45.140 It is rude.

02:06:46.600 It is rude.

02:06:47.260 It's not like a swear word per se, but it is rude in that sense.

02:06:55.000 This is how she appears when she's interviewing the regime.

02:07:01.300 She loves the Islamic regime.

02:07:02.580 She's always smiling.

02:07:03.860 She's promoting them.

02:07:04.820 She's thrilled.

02:07:05.400 and then this is her body language

02:07:07.220 when she was interviewing King Reza Pahlavi

02:07:09.700 at the Munich conference

02:07:11.560 right so

02:07:12.380 yeah

02:07:15.380 somebody's saying he knows his

02:07:17.160 Persian is good she's just doing that on

02:07:19.560 purpose yeah she's pretending she

02:07:21.540 doesn't know yeah like

02:07:23.460 who doesn't know what like she was like

02:07:25.380 she lived for a couple of years in Iran

02:07:27.600 like Tohin is not a very

02:07:29.300 people know what Tohin is

02:07:31.420 oh no she knows she's

02:07:33.280 she's just pretending she's pretending that she doesn't know so yeah okay yeah all right so i'm

02:07:41.800 um that was one hour that was very fast i managed to get everything in though well i didn't yeah

02:07:48.040 you might have to come you might have to start coming a bit earlier than two o'clock then

02:07:51.920 yeah maybe you have more info so yeah okay see i'll see how much all right guys i'm gonna go

02:07:59.580 By the way, Goldie, on the Persian livestream that we had, we had a very, very heated conversation regarding what is Islam in Iran going to be like after Iran is free, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, stopping Islam from growing.

02:08:23.580 There are people from different opinions, and it got really interesting, like it was friendly and heated at the same time.

02:08:30.640 So we had some people on the more, you know, less free side that didn't want Islam to allow Islam, you know, to grow.

02:08:40.160 And then we had other people who were like more on the free speech side.

02:08:44.720 I mean, both sides were against Islam, but, you know, both sides were passionately against Islam.

02:08:50.420 But some people were anti-Islam, but also for free speech.

02:08:54.580 And the other side, it was a very interesting conversation and it was very heated.

02:08:59.100 But I managed to get everybody together by saying like, guys, isn't it what we should celebrate is the day that we are.

02:09:08.920 These are the conversations that we disagree on rather than having to fight against a regime that kills us in tens of thousands.

02:09:16.120 Right. These are normal disagreements to have like a normal goddamn country rather than being massacred by the regime. 0.99

02:09:24.500 So this is a good disagreement to have that we could debate after the regime falls. 0.98

02:09:29.800 Right. Absolutely. No, I think that's great.

02:09:33.020 Yeah. All right. So, guys, I'm going to post a link to the discussion group that I'm going to go to right now.

02:09:39.980 If you want to come talk to me and ask me questions, come over there and let me know and come there and talk.

02:09:47.400 If you want to ask me about Islam, if you want to ask me about Iran, Princess of Pahlavi, the upcoming war, geopolitics in the Middle East and beyond as a whole.

02:10:00.180 I would very much like to be asked more about Islam if you are interested in asking me about that.

02:10:06.120 because i i think um i haven't you know i think i have a lot of information to share and i don't

02:10:11.520 get to share it as much so if you do want to come ask me about that i'm available there as well

02:12:24.100 what's going on here? All right. So that was the Armin Power Hour. Now we're going back to

02:12:33.360 the rest of Iran Revolution Live. There's an update, guys. There's an update that I wanted

02:12:42.420 to share with you. So let me go to my ex account. This is a very interesting update.

02:12:50.760 So the U.S. State Department posted about an hour and a half ago, and it's an announcement of additional visa restriction targets for individuals involved in inhibiting Iranians' rights to freedom of expression.

02:13:15.560 now why is this interesting because well also amazing because this is the first time since the

02:13:22.440 1979 islamic coup d'etat that the u.s administration is actually differentiating between iranians and

02:13:30.920 the islamic regime occupying iran right so they're making it very clear that the visa restriction is

02:13:37.800 not for Iranians. The visa restriction is for people who are targeting Iranians. And I just

02:13:45.400 wanted to share the actual statement with you. I haven't read this yet, but it's very interesting.

02:13:53.800 So announcement of additional visa restriction targets for individuals involved in inhibiting

02:14:00.040 iranians rights to freedom of expression during iran's nationwide protests in december and

02:14:08.200 january of 2025 the iranian regime i mean should be the islamic regime but that's fine the iranian

02:14:13.480 regime has unleashed violence and repression against tens of thousands of peaceful demonstrators

02:14:21.480 the regime imposed a near total nationwide internet shutdown unprecedented in scope and

02:14:28.760 duration that severely restricted independent documentation of abuses and cut Iranians off

02:14:35.800 from the world. Even today, the regime continues to restrict the ability of Iranians to exercise

02:14:42.220 their basic freedoms. As President Trump has made clear, the United States stands with the

02:14:48.840 Iranian people. Guys, this is also very important, right? So once again, once again,

02:14:54.200 the U.S. administration is using the same language as King Reza Pahlavi because remember

02:15:04.640 His Royal Highness Reza Pahlavi, he's always said, you know, he's asking the world to stand

02:15:11.460 with the people of Iran against the regime, right? Stand with the Iranian people, support the Iranian

02:15:17.600 people. And now we're seeing that exact same language being used by Senator Lindsey Graham,

02:15:25.100 by President Trump, by Marco Rubio. And now in this statement that's come out from State

02:15:33.900 Department, right, as President Trump has made clear, the United States stands with the Iranian

02:15:39.980 people. And so what that means when you go back, you know, when you take this within the context

02:15:45.880 and framework of the negotiations and the deal, what this basically means is that the only deal

02:15:52.280 that President Trump is interested in is a deal that's going to negotiate terms of surrender,

02:15:58.380 right? Today, pursuant to his authority under section 212 sub a sub three sub c of the Immigration

02:16:09.800 and National Act, Immigration and Nationality Act, Secretary Rubio is taking steps to impose

02:16:17.120 visa restrictions against 18 Iranian regime officials and telecommunications industry

02:16:23.240 leaders, as well as their immediate family members. The visa restriction policy will

02:16:29.640 target individuals who are complicit or believed to be complicit in serious violations of human

02:16:36.640 rights, particularly inhibiting the right of Iranians to free expression and peaceful

02:16:41.680 assembly. 58 individuals have now been targeted by this policy. The United States will continue

02:16:49.040 to stand with the right of the Iranian people to free expression. We reaffirm our unwavering

02:16:57.000 support for Iranians and their demand for peace and dignity. We will continue to use

02:17:03.300 all tools available to expose and promote accountability for the abuses by the Iranian

02:17:09.100 regime officials and other individuals. So that's pretty interesting. I'm very, very happy to

02:17:20.100 see that for sure. Um, wait, I'm getting a notification here.

02:17:29.780 Wait.

02:17:36.160 Oh no, that's fine. Okay. So there's that. Okay. Um, and then the other thing that I wanted to

02:17:47.340 point out. Oh wait. Let me just make a quick poster. I've been told this is the...

02:18:17.340 Oh, OK, here we go. Now now people are starting to talk about it. Look at this.

02:18:25.580 Harris, good morning. A massive amount of U.S. military equipment continues to flood into the Middle East in preparation for action against Iran.

02:18:34.280 Reports indicate the U.S. has moved more than 50 fighter jets to the region over the past 24 hours alone, along with the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group already in place.

02:18:45.540 and the USS Gerald R. Ford on the way, there are a variety of other U.S. Navy assets in the Red

02:18:51.280 and Mediterranean Seas. While talks on Tuesday left both sides saying that progress was made,

02:18:56.660 there are still major questions about Iran's willingness to curb their nuclear program

02:19:00.680 or address the growing regional ballistic missile threat. Yesterday on Fox News,

02:19:04.800 Vice President J.D. Vance was asked about the negotiations.

02:19:08.620 They agreed to meet afterwards, but in other ways it was very clear that the president has set some

02:19:13.060 red lines that the Iranians are not yet willing to actually acknowledge and work through. So

02:19:19.100 we're going to keep on working it. But of course, the president reserves the ability to say when

02:19:23.840 he thinks that diplomacy has reached its natural end, we hope we don't get to that point. But if

02:19:28.240 we do, that'll be the president's call. The Iranians continue to threaten the United States

02:19:33.560 from the supreme leader to lower level commanders. The IRGC has promised to go after American

02:19:38.300 military interests in the event of escalation in the region. Iran's president has tried to

02:19:42.900 strike a more diplomatic tone on nuclear issues, despite the threatening rhetoric from the rest

02:19:47.300 of Iranian leadership. We have stated these many times. My own statements are not important.

02:19:55.400 What matters from an ideological standpoint is the policy and the fatwa of the supreme leader.

02:20:00.860 We are in no way seeking nuclear weapons. Whatever form of verification they want to carry out,

02:20:06.540 we are ready for that verification to take place here in israel officials reportedly what

02:20:14.780 they're terrified iran's president has tried to strike a more diplomatic tone on nuclear issues

02:20:24.180 despite the threatening rhetoric from the rest of iranian leadership

02:20:27.460 we have stated these many times my own statements are not important what matters from an ideological

02:20:35.800 standpoint is the policy and the fatwa of the supreme leader we are in no way seeking nuclear

02:20:41.620 weapons whatever form of verification they want to carry out we are ready for that verification

02:20:47.160 to take place here in israel officials reportedly believe war could erupt in a matter of days and

02:20:55.360 are preparing accordingly harris great reporting as always thank you for getting us started trey

02:38:17.800 been it's the people in charge of iran that are the problem uh you know i because i went

02:38:24.520 to high school in los angeles so i grew up around a lot of iranians you know so it's uh

02:38:34.360 it's it that's just been a thing i've i have always been on the side of the iranian people

02:39:44.500 the marine corps wow so yeah well thank you so much for being here um i i think i think you're

02:39:52.580 on your phone so it might be difficult for you to to to use the the private chat um

02:40:00.100 feature there yeah um because if you were on like a laptop or something yeah it would be easier to

02:40:12.100 uh what am i doing whoa wait a minute go back yeah sorry i hit the wrong tab on my computer

02:40:23.060 um i'm gonna see if i can if i can uh if i can double dip here because if if you're only if

02:40:32.020 you're able to join from the um from your laptop or computer because then we could actually also

02:40:39.140 communicate in the private chat like like it's called the private chat but it's like the internal

02:40:43.380 studio chat and it's easier to like share links and stuff so if there's anything like uh share

02:40:50.100 online um there's that i send you a link over um i did send you a link over um uh instagram yeah

02:41:03.380 i mean i don't i don't i don't really check instagram messages but okay there we go

02:41:12.020 okay i muted your mic because there's um there was like the the echo

02:41:17.220 yeah i see that you've joined you just have to connect your your devices on your laptop

02:41:23.940 can you still hear me now i can um okay yeah i i muted my uh i muted my computer because of the

02:41:33.520 feedback perfect i was hoping that my my phone stand was going to get here uh this morning but

02:41:39.740 it didn't it's not going to be here for a couple hours yet so maybe but this is perfect because

02:41:45.320 now you can like send me links right there um i also send you a message if you can at some point

02:41:50.640 just take a look at that and then if you want to respond to that in in that private chat as well

02:41:56.400 um that might just be an easier way for us to communicate in the future um but yeah okay let's

02:42:04.000 let's go to let's go to this first tab that you are sharing here or yeah now that should be the

02:42:15.440 national interest tab yes yeah um i use that as uh because it's the most reliable uh it's the most

02:42:24.400 reliable update on um it's the most reliable update i can find uh for carrier for the status of

02:42:33.360 aircraft carriers and um let me go back here uh where did i no

02:42:45.440 Oh no, we lost the major. For people, this national interest page, it's what I use because

02:43:13.860 think it's the most reliable update for the status of aircraft carriers out there

02:43:20.260 and it covers every single active aircraft carrier and it's updated every few days as

02:43:25.860 new information comes in so if you look at the date listed it says i think it was updated on

02:43:34.420 and the last update on that sorry phone uh the last update on that uh was to add the status of

02:43:43.300 the new john f kennedy carrier um because it's uh it's due for commissioning in early 2027.

02:43:53.620 but yeah you can scroll down there and you can see the status of uh

02:43:58.580 eisenhower which one are we looking for vinson

02:44:11.700 oh major i'm having some connectivity issues you're frozen

02:44:18.340 let me see how's that yeah now we can see you again you were frozen okay we're going down to

02:44:24.180 where uh if you want to check on the ford that's the next to the last entry at the bottom okay um

02:44:32.100 yeah past the abraham lincoln there um and that just gives you the basic information on it and

02:44:40.260 basic status updates uh that are more reliable than somebody like you know uh open source intelligence

02:44:48.580 um by that's why i prefer this um over uh i prefer this page over other people online

02:44:59.780 um because this this information is pretty much up to date and a lot of people might wonder why

02:45:07.700 i'm so stuck on aircraft carriers and that's because the aircraft carrier structure the end the

02:45:18.580 your connection is laggy

02:45:25.580 oh man

02:45:34.000 no major your connection

02:45:39.220 I know

02:45:40.580 wait

02:45:44.420 Okay.

02:46:14.420 okay

02:46:37.140 oh no all right let me um give me a moment

02:46:42.820 let me let me let me um send the major a message here because we want to hear from major

02:46:55.380 give me one moment guys sorry

02:47:01.060 oh isn't he great

02:47:04.500 okay

02:47:12.820 I think he's having

02:47:42.820 I don't know I think I think he's trying to figure it out he has the link oh no

02:47:58.420 he just dropped again all right let me second message him give me one moment

02:48:04.760 guys is this any better yes okay now now we can see you you okay sorry no that's that's probably

02:48:19.540 wandering phone connection problems on my side um i am out i am kind of out in the boonies so

02:48:25.940 um yeah anyway as i was saying here um the uh i i kind of prefer um this site because it gives

02:48:36.840 uh gives a better update on the carriers and the carriers are the main can are the main

02:48:41.260 conventional striking arm of the united states before we start throwing nuclear weapons

02:48:46.460 oh no do i lag again yeah

02:48:54.520 uh okay am i back yes okay um so what's what's going on um with uh sorry i just got your message

02:49:08.460 um what's going on with the russians the the russians have been in this region on a regular

02:49:16.120 basis since about 2000 and i guess 2009 when the big somali pirate problem came up they've had a

02:49:25.160 task force like us and the chinese and the french and the british we've all had task forces in jibouti

02:49:37.640 he's in the russians are going

02:49:38.920 Iranian ports right now

02:49:42.780 is for the same reason

02:49:45.000 they were in the Persian Gulf in 1988

02:49:46.860 when we had

02:49:49.360 Operation Praying Mantis.

02:49:52.580 And I was actually

02:49:53.520 I was in Yokohama

02:49:55.220 or no

02:49:56.160 Thank you.

02:50:26.160 Sorry, you keep on freezing, Major.

02:50:30.100 Blast, blast, blast.

02:50:34.960 Is this any better?

02:50:38.080 Yeah, for now it is.

02:50:39.840 For now, okay.

02:50:40.560 Well, at least we have it for now.

02:50:43.160 So anyway, that's why the Russians are up there.

02:50:46.520 They're waiting for us to attack.

02:50:48.520 Not because they're going to do anything.

02:50:50.560 They're waiting for us to attack because they want to observe

02:50:54.220 and record what we do as we do it.

02:50:58.140 That way they get an understanding of us.

02:51:02.060 That's the only reason they're there.

02:51:03.700 It doesn't really mean anything in the grand strategic picture.

02:51:08.280 Russia is not going to go to war

02:51:09.980 with anything that they really do without.

02:51:18.840 um people uh i know brought up this this thing a couple of days ago about uh russian planes

02:51:27.800 landing in tehran and offloading attack helicopters that's nothing unusual

02:51:42.680 oh no

02:51:43.160 i can't i can't catch anything because it keeps on lagging all right

02:51:51.480 okay are we back yeah or do you think maybe if you turn off your your camera and just use voice

02:52:06.740 that might use less data or something so there's less lag because we really

02:52:10.740 we really want to hear you yeah let me let me give that a shot here and uh uh

02:52:19.620 you know use your device's camera okay wait no you know you need to you need to reconnect

02:52:31.700 you need to you need to reconnect your oh i know i know his wi-fi is not working

02:52:40.740 Okay, I'm going to see if we can restart.

02:53:11.700 okay

02:53:16.900 okay how's this this is much better i think this is better yeah that's that's what it is then

02:53:22.900 hopefully hopefully this will remain stable um i showed my ugly mug already so we were good

02:53:29.380 no not at all we were so happy to see you um but uh let's see where was i rush oh no i was

02:53:36.660 on attack helicopters um the uh the attack helicopters that have been on

02:53:47.540 ago

02:53:47.860 uh the uh as far as as far as what we're doing um i think we were uh i think trump's initial

02:54:09.700 instinct was to uh was to go after the regime as soon as the abraham lincoln was on station

02:54:15.740 And I think Netanyahu intervened and said, you know, no, that's not a good idea. Hang on, let's get more intelligence together. Let's get more firepower together. And that's what you've been seeing this whole time.

02:54:32.140 Fortunately, a lot of people think that this is just like World of Warships or, you know,

02:54:41.120 War Thunder or something, and it's not.

02:54:44.500 These things take a lot of time.

02:54:46.140 Your minimum sail time from Virginia to the Persian Gulf or to, you know, the Arabian

02:54:53.380 Sea, your minimum sail time is 18 days.

02:54:59.860 And that's if you go the short route.

02:55:02.140 so it it takes time to build up enough firepower to to make something like this work and the strategy

02:55:09.580 that is that's going on i'm not i'm not treading on anything that is classified here so we don't

02:55:17.260 have to worry about that the strategy that they're going to go for is what's called a decapitation

02:55:24.060 gross you know because it is um what they're trying to do is what happened in venezuela

02:55:30.060 against maduro that was a decapitation strike where you go in and you take out the leader

02:55:36.060 um but that was the lower end of what a decap strike is what they're what they have to do in

02:55:43.740 in iran is fundamentally different because they have to have enough firepower with enough

02:55:49.340 aircraft and enough missiles in place to go all in in 24 hours and degrade the regime's

02:55:59.020 command and control structure as far as they possibly can because if they don't then it gives

02:56:08.960 the regime time to respond and the whole point of this is not to put boots on the ground that was

02:56:15.300 never a consideration the the point is if you degrade their command and control and their

02:56:22.000 support infrastructure that gives the iranian street the iranian people it gives them all the

02:56:29.580 advantage because now they outnumber everybody and they can go after the r the irgc and take

02:56:36.580 them out because they outnumber them and they'll just overwhelm them with numbers not ideal but

02:56:42.880 that's where they're going to go um as far as boots on the ground go uh i could see special

02:56:50.080 forces going in in a few places along the persian gulf and arabian sea coasts i could see that

02:56:58.320 maybe uh but as far as deep raids way like tehran distance raids no um there's no reason for us to

02:57:08.900 do that um mossad are clearly already has people on the ground who can assemble and do that we're

02:57:16.860 not going to do that. We're not going to put Marines ashore because there's no point. Although

02:57:24.740 we probably are trying to get a few. And I apologize, but I can't remember who. Somebody

02:57:36.380 in the chat a little while ago mentioned that the regime had partially closed the straight

02:57:46.700 Hormuz so that they could contain a whole bunch of tankers and then hit them with missiles and cause

02:57:56.220 a huge environmental problem. And my response to that was, yeah, that makes sense, because that's

02:58:02.740 basically what Saddam Hussein did in Kuwait as he was withdrawing. You know, he blew all the oil

02:58:08.000 wells and created a massive natural disaster, you know, Parthian shot, if you will. I can totally

02:58:15.020 see the regime doing that. It's not going to stop us, but I can see them doing

02:58:19.120 it out of spite. As far as this, as far as

02:58:23.180 and I know Armin was talking about this earlier, there were

02:58:27.180 Biden in war

02:58:33.260 and you're not

02:58:43.120 going to get a wider war unless the regime successfully attacks countries around it.

02:58:52.060 You know, like, I don't know, fire pencil, you know, crayon missiles at India or Pakistan

02:58:58.680 or into Saudi Arabia or something like that. That's why we've been importing Patriot missile

02:59:05.220 batteries, because they can catch those missiles in boost phase and collapse them either into

02:59:11.900 the Persian Gulf or, unfortunately, right back onto Iranian soil.

02:59:18.680 So the regime is desperate. You were right. When they were interviewing the guy who was saying,

02:59:25.820 you know, we're prepared to comply with whatever inspection things the U.S. wants to do.

02:59:31.920 Yeah, they are terrified because they know that they have no other option. They can't win

02:59:38.120 and they can't surrender

02:59:39.960 and that means that

02:59:42.220 they are going to be at the bottom of a very

02:59:44.360 deep hole coming from

02:59:46.320 on high

02:59:46.780 if any of that made sense I tend to

02:59:54.080 run things together a lot

02:59:55.360 I mean you're cutting in and out a little

03:00:00.480 bit but I'm catching the gist of what you're

03:00:02.460 saying and yeah it certainly

03:00:04.400 does it certainly does

03:00:06.360 makes sense yeah so excuse me i'm sorry um yeah uh overall um i because i know somebody has asked

03:00:18.980 this in the past uh people have asked this in the past um when or when is everything going to kick

03:00:25.760 off and my response was about 48 hours after the second carrier is on station and by on station i

03:00:33.980 don't mean in the meta. And that's because of shorter range for carrier aircraft. And the fact

03:00:49.360 that nobody wants to put a tanker over Iran itself, because those are too easy to shoot. Sorry,

03:00:55.400 those are too easy to shoot down. There was another weird comment a couple hours ago.

03:01:03.980 So U.S. operations against the regime have absolutely nothing to do with NATO. I don't know why people are stuck on that idea. It doesn't have anything to do with NATO. It's the U.S. organizing a coalition against Iran or against the regime, period.

03:01:24.360 um so i'm not sure where people are trying to go with that but yeah

03:01:33.400 so

03:01:37.800 how much longer do you think and i mean i don't know if this is going to be like

03:01:48.120 opsec and if it is and let's not go into that but um how much more of a build-up do you think is

03:01:55.960 going to be happening and then i also i think you cut out when you were speaking about the second

03:02:00.920 aircraft carrier getting to like a base or something which which which base and what's

03:02:07.800 what's the second the second aircraft carrier is that is that the ford is that the one you're

03:02:11.560 referring to that should be the ford yes uh when i when i use the term i do that i'm bad about this

03:02:19.400 uh but when i use the term on station that means that it has gotten to where it is supposed to be

03:02:25.960 and it's getting ready to start operations right now assuming uh every assuming that this is the

03:02:33.720 case the ford has either has entered the mediterranean or is about to that's not on

03:02:39.960 station that's in transit and unless the regime

03:02:48.120 we're going to be another

03:02:51.560 six or seven days before the ford can arrive on station and link up with the abraham lincoln

03:03:00.600 and within about 48 hours of that then yes that's going to be showtime and that's and and that's

03:03:08.600 because because i know there's all kinds of black pills in the chat that's because you cannot move

03:03:15.640 a carrier battle group um just to just to wave a flag at somebody you don't do it and the aircraft

03:03:24.120 carrier by itself costs about six million dollars a day to operate the entire battle group is about

03:03:31.720 10 million dollars a day so you don't reposition these things at at at a whim um this is this is

03:03:40.520 the real deal it's just gonna take a while um so i'm looking at this map and so i mean here so

03:03:51.480 here's the mediterranean sea so you know we're assuming we're assuming that the the ford carrier

03:03:57.720 is somewhere here assuming actually to the east somewhere near east of malta which is just east

03:04:05.080 of libya that's the furthest place it could be right now okay right now from there it has to

03:04:14.600 get from it has to get from that area over to suez right in egypt the transit the suez canal

03:04:21.960 was about two days so here's my question though here's my question does it so if it's already in

03:04:27.400 the Mediterranean does it actually need to like go all the way down and then go

03:04:33.040 to go here or could it just like operate like could it just you know be from here

03:04:39.560 we're you know close to Israel for example if if the regime were able to

03:04:44.980 force an early start to the action yes the Ford could pull up off of say Tel

03:04:51.620 aviv and operate from there it could but that's not ideal um ideally you want to you want to get

03:05:00.020 it down through the red through the red sea and you know up through the gulf of aden and

03:05:06.180 right where your cursor is there yeah um you want to get it into that area because then you can

03:05:13.780 then you get to maximize uh the the airstrike power of both carriers into

03:05:21.620 which is right near

03:05:26.460 and that's that's where the carriers are going to concentrate that's not that's not breaking

03:05:36.620 opsec that's just knowing approximately where both carriers are and knowing the range of their

03:05:42.580 aircraft because the air force jets can cover everything else in the persian gulf

03:05:47.600 but you want the carriers to cover that whole area uh on the on the eastern side of iran and

03:05:54.780 basically iranian balukistan for the people in the know um that's where you want the carriers

03:06:03.900 to maximize their their striking power every carrier on that list from the national interest

03:06:10.180 Every one of those carriers usually comes out with about 70 strike aircraft each.

03:06:17.500 That would be a combined 140 strike aircraft.

03:06:22.680 That's the striking aircraft of most countries in the world.

03:06:29.560 And that's what you want is saturation so that you can hit pinpoint targets.

03:06:35.660 And that's part of the other reason for the delay, because we're already, believe me, the U.S. military is working hard.

03:06:44.680 Nobody's sitting on their thumbs twiddling.

03:06:47.640 What they're doing is called ELINT and SIGINT.

03:06:52.640 And in reverse, SIGINT is where you're intercepting enemy communications.

03:06:58.880 Like every time you call somebody on your cell phone, every time you send an email, that's SIGINT.

03:07:05.660 where they're collecting signals translating them decoding them that that sort of thing

03:07:12.040 then you have elant elant is where you're detecting electronic signals every time somebody

03:07:19.240 turns on a radar every time you know somebody fires up an internet server and connects it to

03:07:25.600 the internet that leaves an electronic footprint in the now what's happening is every single

03:07:35.760 IRGC outpost in whatever part of Iran is being pinpointed and monitored in real time that way

03:07:44.640 we know when they're there what they're doing there and you know when they're awake and when

03:07:52.160 they're out running around. That's important because those are all worth a bomb or maybe

03:07:57.740 even a cruise missile. And that's what I meant when I said a decapitation strike on the regime's 0.71

03:08:04.100 infrastructure. Because, you know, yeah, you may have a Basigi base inside the middle of a city.

03:08:10.900 And that's important because not only are the troops there, that's where their vehicles are

03:08:16.320 parked. Because the technicals, you know, the pickup trucks with machine guns,

03:08:22.160 that's the main enforcement power of the regime right now if you take those out these guys are on

03:08:29.840 foot they realize what's happened that's one of the reasons the regime is so scared and

03:08:44.080 that's what's been that's what's going on right now while the carrier the second carrier gets

03:08:49.600 into position. And when it, when it's kickoff time, they're going to hit every one of those

03:08:56.120 outposts. And that's over and above all the really interesting stuff done by things like

03:09:02.740 B1s, B2s, and B52s. You know, that's, that's how this works. It's the layered,

03:09:11.980 the layered air offensive okay um signals coming in and out a little bit but um someone is asking

03:09:23.700 uh please ask major his opinion on the explosions at irgc bases earlier today

03:09:30.180 iranian freedom fighters massad cia what are your thoughts on that um the first two uh i would

03:09:40.160 actually reversed that. Mossad recruited. I can't hear your answer. Could you repeat your answer?

03:09:53.820 Yeah, I would say most likely Mossad or Mossad recruited resistance fighters. I don't think the

03:10:02.900 CIA is on the ground with any kind of a paramilitary team right now.

03:10:09.060 Mossad is better at getting into Iran than we are.

03:10:13.180 Yeah, that's true.

03:10:15.120 Yeah.

03:10:16.200 Because there are a lot of Iranian Jews, right, who are part of Mossad.

03:10:19.380 Well, and you also have just regular Iranians that are pro-Israel enough to make them recruitable

03:10:27.800 to do direct action missions like this.

03:10:31.540 Oh, absolutely.

03:10:32.620 100 percent i mean iranians have always said we're the boots on the ground right so iranians are

03:10:37.260 always saying you know they're the boots on the ground and they don't have any issues with the

03:10:42.300 united states or um uh you know israel the issue is with the islamic regime so it's you know

03:10:48.300 everyone's on the same side here everyone's on the same side um against the regime i want to share

03:10:53.260 something funny here um so i know this guy and uh so this this image i guess of all this like the

03:11:01.100 aircraft what is this like like what do they call tankers or something i don't know i forget i

03:11:06.380 forget what sort of u.s military planes jets are flying to you know in the region um so this has

03:11:13.740 gone viral among iranians and then you know they're making fun of the islamic regime right now

03:11:18.140 so this person's like appos referring to the foreign affairs minister he's like what the

03:11:22.300 hell did you say in the negotiations that they're coming at us like this now right in in a sarcastic

03:11:29.420 way right like um when he says at so when he says at us um he like he's not it's not uh like a proper

03:11:38.260 translation it says which means what did you say for for uh you know the americans to be coming

03:11:45.500 at you like this right now so um i mean this image i think in and of itself shows that uh the

03:11:52.480 negotiation, the negotiations and the talks are not going well whatsoever. So have you seen anything

03:12:00.480 like this major before? Oh, you cut out again. Oh, major. Ah, am I back? Yes. Hello. Okay. Yeah,

03:12:19.900 that's actually normal for um any sort of major offensive um like we did the same thing in uh

03:12:27.660 2003 uh going into iraq it was just we had to transfer all the tankers over there to support

03:12:34.140 all of the aircraft and that's what that is uh when we send everybody uh because we're gonna

03:12:42.460 to have this long string of tanker aircraft on the way and those things are all the size of you know

03:12:53.500 Boeing 737s or larger and they're loaded with lots and lots of fuel because fighters

03:12:59.900 are thirsty especially when they're carrying load full loads of bombs.

03:13:04.540 what do you make of this major uh department of war just posted this about half an hour ago

03:13:14.420 it seems like all of the various you know accounts affiliated with the u.s uh government are starting

03:13:21.560 to post things like this right so department of war just posted the enemy cannot hide

03:13:27.220 well they really can't nowadays um that is a drone or something i'm sorry is this a drone

03:13:35.540 or something um yeah that's that's more of a stylized drone but yeah uh that that's the

03:13:41.980 whole idea is that most drones are too small to be picked up on radar so yeah we're always watching

03:13:48.960 we're always over your head we're under your bed you know with a shiv you know look out

03:13:54.600 um but that's that's uh that's the psychological warfare guys uh getting their licks in

03:14:02.960 because it unsettles the regime far more than far more than um

03:14:09.000 copycat ai skins of f-18 fighters um you know being launched out of the innards of a ship

03:14:18.720 you know which i don't i don't get but yeah whatever um those those animations those ai 0.98

03:14:25.320 videos those make me laugh oh my gosh so stupid 0.99

03:14:30.000 they could do so much it's a good thing that i am not on their side because i could do so much 0.99

03:14:39.220 better as as i can do so much better and actually make make people inside the navy department worry

03:14:47.420 um it still wouldn't be practical but you know it would at least look good

03:14:52.780 there because because let me tell you if you you show one of those one of those ai videos

03:14:59.360 of the plane taking off you know by launching out of the ship um if you ever see fire coming

03:15:05.260 out of an airplane of a jet airplane like that run because that thing's about to turn into a

03:15:10.000 fireball i mean it's it's literally wile coyote comedy it's just it it's it's it's funny but it's

03:15:19.800 bizarre but it's at least humorous but yeah yeah i mean well i mean i'm also wondering like if

03:15:28.780 those are i mean they could be they could be like official islamic regime ai videos i mean they

03:15:35.100 could be done by like supporters of the regime which is just ridiculous um but but like the the 0.94

03:15:41.600 you know the professional ai one is still ridiculous because you know we've all we've 0.90

03:15:47.880 all seen what their you know what their pointy crayola missiles look like there um but but what

03:15:54.400 are your thoughts on this since i have you here um so someone someone posted usaf f-15s are

03:16:01.980 currently en route adding to the growing wave of air assets repositioning toward the middle east

03:16:07.660 and then someone said the missing pieces of the puzzle are falling into place well they they've

03:16:13.180 been you know first of all the the image doesn't surprise me because they've got a whenever you've

03:16:19.580 got any kind of an air group going through an area going through a region uh they've got to come

03:16:26.300 usually they have to come down uh below commercial air traffic um you know if they have to skirt

03:16:34.460 a lot of air traffic so i i don't know where that was taken from but

03:16:38.780 they that doesn't surprise me that you can see these things in the air um it's just that you

03:16:45.580 know we can't do one gigantic lift all at once to get everybody over because we have to stream it

03:16:51.820 because you've got jets to fix before you can get them into the air then you've got to fuel them up

03:16:58.800 you've got to refill them on the way uh the f-15 can self-deploy to from uh the u.s east coast

03:17:07.700 to england on a single tank of fuel but you've got everything else that's got to go f-16s don't

03:17:14.660 have that range so they can deploy but they got to have tanker support to do it so yeah you leap

03:17:21.280 like you know you have reports of four f-22s here and maybe 10 or 20 f-15s over there and yeah that's

03:17:29.760 that that all tracks because you gotta you've gotta leapfrog units to get them into the area

03:17:35.520 over time again this doesn't this isn't world of world of warcraft or world of

03:17:42.880 aircraft or something like that what is a world of war planes i don't i don't game

03:17:47.680 anything sorry yeah um so yeah it does yeah that does happen let me look at this

03:17:56.880 uh what is what am i looking at here

03:18:03.200 so apparently it's like an audio that was quoted here let me let me play the audio here yeah

03:18:09.200 apparently i mean this is this is all military mumbo jumbo to me so i don't know what it's saying

03:18:12.800 but shuck 84 talking with cypress atc will cross into israel heading gulf

03:18:18.720 shuck 84 nicosia radar identified

03:18:23.360 shuck 84 report detentions and shuck 84 after vanza will be direct conso

03:18:32.480 keila oscar november foxtrot oscar

03:18:35.920 Yeah, what that is, is actually normal air traffic communication.

03:18:58.620 What's happening is that you've got a string of U.S. aircraft entering the air control space of Cyprus, of Nicosia, Cyprus, the island in the eastern Mediterranean.

03:19:15.100 Nicosia ATC, that's air traffic control, they control most of the air traffic in the eastern med.

03:19:21.600 And I don't mean it from a military side. Every civilian airliner or cargo plane is handed off and controlled by some ATC center.

03:19:36.780 and it just you obviously you've got planes that are heading into the area so they got to head

03:19:43.240 towards israel and as that as they're coming past cyprus they're under the woman the female voice

03:19:50.220 you heard that's uh cyprus atc that's the air traffic controller they're um monitoring their

03:19:57.200 aircraft so that they don't get in the way of civilian planes and they're advising the air

03:20:03.480 force guy the male for male voice is advising necosia that you know they're proceeding into

03:20:08.980 they're going to proceed to israeli airspace and necosia is telling them uh you know acknowledging

03:20:15.200 that and saying okay you know you're going to pass out of my control uh at this time index

03:20:20.480 contact uh israel atc or tel aviv atc on this frequency and hand over and then the guy acknowledges

03:20:29.760 The other stuff that he's talking about, that's just the call signs that are being used. Like, if you were sitting in the cockpit of a civilian airliner, like American Airlines, they're going to call Nicosia ATC and say, yeah, this is American 3285. We're proceeding. We are this kind of airplane and we're proceeding on this route to this destination. That's all that is.

03:20:57.660 it's just that it's even more brief than that that's that's normal air traffic okay yeah okay

03:21:06.600 wow all right thank you so much major um i really appreciate oh yeah texas is saying texas shajari

03:21:13.740 is saying ifr flight clearance totally normal he was also mentioning waypoints i used to fly on c

03:21:20.580 130s in the u.s coast guard oh wow oh yeah well every everybody's there um the coast guard the

03:21:27.320 Coast Guard as well. See, the Coast Guard, the way the U.S. Coast Guard, la la la la, let me try that again. The way the U.S. Coast Guard is organized, in peacetime, the Coast Guard is the Coast Guard. It handles customs, it does at-sea rescues, police duties in harbors, that kind of thing.

03:21:45.900 But in a wartime scenario, the Coast Guard flips and becomes part of the Navy, and they have specific roles in the Navy. So you're going to see Coast Guard search aircraft that suddenly become like P-3 Orions that hunt submarines or run electronic warfare.

03:22:06.340 and uh you know though some of those planes are going to be coast guard uh some of those planes

03:22:12.420 that are running like search and rescue like c-130s uh the big four engine transports those

03:22:20.100 are typically run by the coast guard for at sea search and rescue in case anybody goes down

03:22:26.100 because you know sometimes jets stop flying when you don't want them to and that's what the search

03:22:32.340 and rescue guys are for so yeah that's that that also tracks that's one of the reasons i'm hard

03:22:41.540 of hearing now because i've i i used to load c130s with substandard hearing protection so i have

03:22:49.540 really really really bad tinnitus oh wow yeah now this image i'm glad you brought this image up here

03:22:57.700 uh thank you for bringing that up um this is this is one of those things that

03:23:05.460 is really good as an overview um but it's just a very generic overview don't don't mistake this

03:23:15.060 uh for actual how do i think yeah yeah this isn't an actual like you know battle planning stuff

03:23:23.140 this is this is very much an approximation of what i found like someone made this um on x so

03:23:30.340 this isn't like an official government uh image or anything like that someone i think just like

03:23:35.620 trying to make this based off of publicly available information on x to kind of give like

03:23:40.580 um a visual um description or a visual depiction of like what's moving in the in the region right

03:23:50.660 and that's that that's what it's good for but it's important to present it that way

03:23:55.380 because if you don't present it that way some people a lot of people unfortunately nowadays

03:24:00.820 are just not accustomed to military anything yeah and they might take this because it's really well

03:24:06.420 done but they'll take it as somehow being like an official government document somehow and it's not

03:24:13.620 uh the the military the u.s military certainly would never use something like this because it's

03:24:18.660 not i mean maybe it's like a recap uh to an operation but certainly not in an operational sense

03:24:30.260 yeah you know

03:24:36.100 no sorry i'm just uh

03:24:39.620 let me just check something here um no i'm just adding

03:24:43.140 oops sorry let me go back here okay um that's wait what's this here

03:24:53.300 so this is interesting i know i know that um so centcom centcom posted this in english

03:25:02.380 but they also they also have like a a persian language like x account and they posted this

03:25:10.740 in in persian as well um which means it's literally directed towards the regime so

03:25:17.780 yesterday they posted ea 18g growler aircraft from electronic attack squadron 133 and f-35c

03:25:26.100 lightning 2 fighters from marine fighter attack squadron 314 prepare for flight on the flight

03:25:31.620 deck of the uss abraham lincoln this aircraft carrier which is present in the international

03:25:36.740 waters of the middle east conducts round-the-clock flight operations to support regional security so

03:25:44.260 i don't know but i find it very interesting that they posted this in persian right um the uh what

03:25:51.860 you're what you're seeing if you if you look carefully you've got this person in the foreground

03:25:56.260 on the left side and he's got this weird stance going on um that's one of the that's one of the

03:26:02.260 shoot crew one of the shot crew uh they're the guys who tell the uh who tell the pilot of the

03:26:08.180 aircraft that they're going to launch him now and they're that guy's ducking so he can stay out of

03:26:15.060 the way of the of the wings uh the little green light in his hand is just a light wand yeah so

03:26:22.340 that the pilot can see him because they're shooting at night um that purple if you go back that purple

03:26:29.780 yeah that purple flame right there that's an afterburner that's what the that's what the 0.99

03:26:35.300 videos the the stupid ai videos are trying to show and they're failing badly um that's what 0.97

03:26:42.420 an afterburner looks like that that looks really cool and it's really vital on on ship um but it's 1.00

03:26:49.860 it's how the it's how the fighter gets

03:26:51.620 see having a carrier by itself is only half the battle you've got to have the right air can the

03:27:01.700 right air conditions uh and sea conditions to be able to shoot a fighter off a carrier deck

03:27:08.660 even with the cool wing ding you know electronic catapults they have now um yeah this is this is

03:27:15.780 a big yeah that is a big deal um and carrier flight decks very very dangerous places um but

03:27:23.940 the e18 growler um that is an electronic warfare aircraft uh that does two things it can get out

03:27:32.180 and monitor uh it can monitor electronic signals at a very granular level but it can also do

03:27:41.060 electronic warfare and wipe those sensors out if it wants to and this one's just like another

03:27:51.780 example of that but it's i just i find it very interesting that um not only does centcom have

03:27:59.860 like a a farsi language although it should be persian but that's fine uh they have a persian

03:28:04.340 language channel but like to me this is this is like a threat this is like uh this is like a

03:28:10.820 warning to to the regime right sure that's uh that's what i was saying about that uh about

03:28:16.180 that still image with a drone um they're putting that out there specifically in farsi um to to

03:28:25.140 rattle the cages of the regime they want the regime unsteady and off balance they want these

03:28:32.420 people with bags under their eyes that's the whole that's the whole thing um i i you know i i saw a

03:28:39.860 little a little meme thing years ago and it's so true it's a picture of a straitjacket and above

03:28:47.140 it it says psyops because physical wounds heal and you that's what you want you don't want the enemy

03:28:56.260 rested and relaxed

03:29:02.420 scared for the last week so that they can't get any sleep because they're thinking about 1.00

03:29:09.040 gee am I about to eat a JDAM and that's that's where you want them because then they get stupid 1.00

03:29:15.740 more stupid than usual and they make mistakes and the side that makes the less the least mistakes 0.99

03:29:22.340 is the side that always wins so yeah doing that and putting out something like this in Farsi 0.99

03:29:30.220 i i would be surprised if they hadn't done it i'm just i'm actually surprised it took this long to

03:29:36.780 do something like this well i mean when i look at their if i go to their account you know what i

03:29:44.920 should i should probably make sure all right it's there already all right well i mean they are like

03:29:53.720 they are posting things so like they put okay so they actually posted this five minutes ago

03:29:57.500 um but it's it's a repeat of what they posted in english so fa18 super hornet fighters from

03:30:05.960 strike fighter squadron 14 landing on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier uss abraham lincoln

03:30:11.140 in the arabian sea this fighter when launched using the catapult system from the aircraft

03:30:15.900 carrier can go from a complete standstill to flight in less than three seconds so um

03:30:21.460 i feel like this is like the pre-war this is the pre-war that's happening um on x oh no oh oh you

03:30:29.660 mean like yeah pre-strike thing um yeah that's it's being used that way here um what that is

03:30:37.740 that's just daily flight operations uh that's that happens almost every day on a carrier unless

03:30:43.460 wind conditions in two states is horrible yeah but what i'm saying is like these are these are

03:30:48.500 daily flight operation so why post about it in persian unless you know they're trying to send

03:30:54.340 a signal with that like i know you know they're trying to say something without saying it right

03:30:58.020 that's exactly what they're doing yeah is is they they are sending a signal saying hi you know we're

03:31:03.380 doing the the one you showed you're cutting off again

03:31:18.500 No Major, can't hear you, all right well hopefully we'll get Major back but yeah I mean I think

03:31:40.040 I think it's that as well like they're probably trying to you know inform Iranians as well

03:31:43.620 so that Iranians keep up yep we can hear you now.

03:31:48.500 Yeah, the difference between this airplane and the one you showed earlier, the night of the night shoot of the Growler, these are basically the same aircraft.

03:31:59.340 It's just that the Growler is specifically fitted out for electronic warfare.

03:32:04.360 These airplane shots are the F-A-18, which means fighter attack.

03:32:10.460 So the Growler is designed to go out and mess with people's electronics.

03:32:15.320 This thing is designed to carry bombs.

03:32:18.500 And the reason why it's fighter attack is because when it takes off and it's got a full bomb load and it's flying along,

03:32:27.160 the pilot can literally push one button and it switches from bombing mode to fighter mode.

03:32:33.840 And it can sit there and just shoot air-to-air missiles at other fighters.

03:32:38.880 And then he pushes a button and it goes back to bombing mode.

03:32:42.420 That's one of the advantages of the F-18.

03:32:45.820 We've been doing that since Desert Storm.

03:32:48.500 so that that's why they're that's why they're doing that do anytime you see fa 18 that's what

03:32:55.820 that means okay well thank you so much for that major i really i really appreciate your um analysis

03:33:03.740 it has been incredibly helpful um i you know as you can tell i don't know a lot about the military

03:33:10.120 side of things so i always appreciate having someone who's an expertise in this and uh would

03:33:15.380 love to have you back as well in the future um your internet connection will will be working

03:33:20.100 um a little bit better but but we do appreciate that absolutely thank you so much and uh thank

03:33:25.220 you thank you for that for getting ahead and for supporting us really means a lot before you leave

03:33:30.100 i just want to show you a video uh that uh the supreme dictator put out um i just wanted i just

03:33:36.100 just wanted you to give your, you know, professional opinion on this video.

03:34:06.100 oh

03:34:18.420 i'm gonna clear i'm gonna clear the break you'll choose for that one um yeah that's that's what i

03:34:24.580 would term whistling past the graveyard you know you've gotta you've got to stand up there and

03:34:29.700 you've got to try to look tough um and that's that's what he's doing iran doesn't have anything

03:34:35.060 and never has had anything that can seriously threaten any any actual warship of the u.s navy

03:34:43.380 except for naval mines and we're we're not putting an aircraft carrier anywhere near

03:34:52.020 uh where it could hit a mine and even if it did it it would damage it but it's going to get home

03:35:00.760 on its own um it's not gonna sink it um that's that's basically tough talk uh from whatever he

03:35:10.700 was putting in his hookah i mean it's just it's it's it's insane like the kind of like weird

03:35:20.140 things like but this this is like this is the insanity that like we iranians have been dealing

03:35:25.720 with for the last 47 years. I mean, on one hand, it's comical. But on the other hand, these are

03:35:30.940 the same savages that are murdering us, right? So like these people, these like savages, the only 0.98

03:35:35.900 thing they're good at is murdering unarmed Iranians, right? Other than that, they're literally 0.99

03:35:40.240 a joke. And, you know, I think after the 12-day conflict, where the IDF just basically destroyed

03:35:49.620 and annihilated them, I think the entire world realized that the Islamic regime is basically a

03:35:54.820 paper tiger i mean yes of course um they do pose a threat um but they're not like the you know

03:36:01.480 super military super powerful force that everyone thought they were right um and you know there's a

03:36:09.400 you know there's a saying that we say in persian it's like which means um their strength uh their

03:36:17.680 strength only um goes against the iranian people right so they're strong enough to murder unarmed

03:36:23.560 on unarmed iranians which they have been doing and they're continuing to do but when it comes to um

03:36:29.720 you know uh military military action there's nothing there and like you know even like this

03:36:35.880 like the weapon that's going to destroy like uh the uss abraham lincoln i'm like what sort of like

03:36:41.720 weird like are they referring to the pointy missile yes like that that's that's the weapon

03:36:49.000 they're referring to because that's what they had in their ai video right um i'll tell you

03:36:55.240 do you know when the last time uh iran had could deploy an actual war-winning force not

03:37:03.240 not somebody that shoots civilians i mean an actual you know head-to-head uh

03:37:10.760 serious military armed force do you know when the last time iran had that was that was the iran iraq

03:37:16.600 war wasn't it yes it was and that's because um for as as bad uh of a gutting that khomeini did

03:37:25.960 to the artesh the artesh was able to rally and not just stop the iraqis but push them back over

03:37:34.600 the shahd al arab and actually march on basra um and well you also have to remember the only reason

03:37:42.840 that uh the iranian military at that time was even strong enough during the iran iraq war was because

03:37:50.040 the vast majority of that military like like the you know equipment and the you know everything

03:37:56.280 they were from the shah's time like so they were still relatively brand new um and at that time

03:38:02.120 they were they were powerful so they were taking advantage of the you know uh equipment that had

03:38:07.960 belonged um to the uh imperial army of iran that's right the imperial army that had been purchased

03:38:15.480 the equipment was all purchased from mostly purchased from um the united states and britain

03:38:22.520 and the entire imperial air force at the time um was basically american it was all american built

03:38:30.600 uh iran imperial iran was the only other nation that the united states ever sold the f-14 tomcat

03:38:38.560 to and you know they're they're no good anymore because they can't update them and they i think

03:38:45.380 they've only got about six that are in flying condition but yeah the the khomeini inherited

03:38:53.160 the imperial military and then proceeded to gut the officer corps you've got an entire video on

03:38:59.500 that that's that's part of the lead-in um is a memorial to a lot of those officers and it

03:39:06.880 extended across the entire imperial military but the the the imperial iranian military was so good

03:39:16.060 that even with all of that being done to it when saddam invaded they were able to rally

03:39:22.880 and stop him and push him back since then yeah the what khomeini did was basically allow most

03:39:32.060 of those people to die as cannon fodder um and then not rebuild it and concentrate on building

03:39:38.780 the irgc um because you know all totalitarians need their praetorian guard um since then

03:39:46.640 what's what has iran been able to do uh it's been able to kill its own civilians and it's been able

03:39:53.360 to send money to groups like hezbollah uh and hamas to kill unarmed civilians in other countries 0.90

03:40:03.160 you know because that's what terrorists do all terrorists are cowards and that's that's what 0.99

03:40:10.780 coward to do because they can't fight us and they know it well that that's and that's the only 0.88

03:40:16.600 reason why like all they can do is they they just make ai videos because right like and this is like

03:40:23.560 that same pointy missile right yeah yeah um and again that's these things images like this make

03:40:34.020 me laugh because i it's just it's it's literally wiley coyote looney tunes comic book stuff um

03:40:43.400 yeah this is this is like you know it they could get a 13 year old kid in the u.s to do a better

03:40:52.780 job um and oh yeah they're gonna launch it from there oh yeah that's a great idea uh they just

03:40:59.440 killed everybody in that launch facility good job you know um what those what these missiles are

03:41:05.920 not not these but what what the what the crayon missile is it's an uprated scud missile

03:41:14.040 okay the scud was built by uh the soviet union in the 50s um because it was their version of the v2

03:41:24.600 rocket from world from world war ii our version of that was the redstone and both us and the soviets

03:41:32.840 realized there's not much use for these things and uh we're spending a lot of money on them so

03:41:39.240 we're just gonna move these out of the arsenal because we really don't need them anymore

03:41:45.320 um but you know it's big and it's pointy and it looks good and you know to people who don't know

03:41:52.280 what they're looking at it looks scary this is not scary this is what you use to throw chemical

03:41:58.920 weapons into civilian areas because that's the only real use it has and you know oh god

03:42:10.040 could you back up on that on the video yeah could you be um just uh just aware

03:42:16.200 it it has the nose cone separating and just after this um it's gonna

03:42:24.120 yeah okay yeah okay just pause right here all right

03:42:29.340 I'm sorry I'm laughing because this is funny

03:42:36.240 what you're seeing right here in the animation what they're saying is that they've got a ballistic

03:42:44.980 missile that can go into space and it and when all when the nose cone separates you know that

03:42:52.640 means that it's that warhead is going to come down on the target um no this missile will not

03:43:01.220 get into space it can't even hit low earth orbit um that is that's somebody who has played eve

03:43:08.520 online way too much and uh there's there's the other one kerbal the kerbal space program yeah

03:43:15.900 that they've been playing kerbal space program way too much um because the scud missile that

03:43:23.260 missile is not going to get anywhere near orbit where it would do that it's going to come down

03:43:27.840 in one gigantic piece the whole rocket will come down yeah like what is that why is the tip of the

03:43:33.680 pencil just like falling off yeah that's basically in in if you had an actual rocket that see that

03:43:41.300 that's that's launching into orbit okay that that's not what this does uh the reason that you

03:43:47.480 have that is you you it goes up and it goes up into the lower edge of space and then it runs out

03:43:56.260 of fuel so it blows off the nose cone which has its own little bitty engine to run around in space

03:44:01.920 and de-orbit itself and then the rest of the body falls away because it's dead weight at that point

03:44:08.320 it's a dead mass you don't need it this thing is not going to get up that high it just goes up and

03:44:15.000 then it goes down and you get poof like on the on the actual live launch you know missile your

03:44:23.180 rocket go up rocket come down rocket go boom um i've had i i've seen much bigger explosions and

03:44:30.380 had the air pushed out of my lungs by much bigger explosions when you know eod and demolitions

03:44:37.660 went out to 29 palms and blew up a whole a whole big stockpile of old ammunition

03:44:43.580 and you know we were standing two miles away and got knocked on our feet by it

03:44:47.980 they don't have anything like that so yeah there you go um this thing will not come up if this

03:44:56.540 thing comes apart it's because it broke up on launch it's going to go all the way up all the 0.99

03:45:01.660 way down in one piece so yeah those ai videos they're they're just they're they're so dumb 0.93

03:45:10.140 you have to laugh i mean if they're going for intimidation factor this ain't it i mean this 0.91

03:45:15.500 really ain't it you know look at why they use ai videos because when they just show this like it's

03:45:23.340 a joke it is because you know if you want an idea of how big that missile is look at the trailer

03:45:29.500 that it was mounted on and just imagine like the track unit for a semi-trailer small yeah it's it's

03:45:37.340 maybe 40 50 feet long max maybe 60 feet at most and that's it you know there and then how many

03:45:45.900 is claiming that like this is the missile that's gonna like destroy the abraham lincoln yeah if

03:45:51.980 the abraham lincoln stops its engines drops anchor and turns off all of its missile defense systems

03:45:58.860 along with everybody else in the battle group this thing has about a i don't know maybe one

03:46:04.780 in twenty percent chance of actually hitting it because it's not there's no guidance to it

03:46:11.820 you have you have an inertial locator system maybe gps that could get it from point a to point b

03:46:19.500 but in in rocket artillery like this you have you have a thing called cep which is circular error

03:46:27.560 probable that means that if you make an x on the map you go out and you draw a circle around that

03:46:35.220 x that's circular error probable so if you're aiming it at your mark the rocket is going to

03:46:42.720 land somewhere inside that circle this thing has a cep of about three or four kilometers radius

03:46:50.660 so it'll probably land somewhere within three or four kilometers of its target

03:46:56.320 which you know if you're throwing chemical weapons at at at civilian cities yeah that's that's

03:47:04.540 acceptable throwing it at a military target um they're going to look behind them and go hey what

03:47:10.920 was that big splash you know uh but yeah this thing is this thing is dinky um i think our i

03:47:18.040 think our battlefield missiles from the 60s like the lance um i think those were bigger and ours

03:47:24.580 were cooler because we got them to spin before we launched them you know this thing this is like

03:47:30.800 wow guys uh props i guess for catching up to the 1950s you know that's that's how i look at these

03:47:40.760 videos because this is just dumb wow see now that that exhaust that rocket exhaust

03:47:48.760 that's normal for for that's not ai that's normal um for uh sending up any kind of a missile 0.96

03:47:57.720 and then you know pop goes the weasel yeah we have a puff in the cloud um don't be standing

03:48:04.200 near it when it lands you know because that's dangerous but um yeah this is this is comedy hour

03:48:11.960 yeah that thing is that i you know i live in a really small town we have less than 700 people

03:48:18.440 where i live and uh i see trailers bigger than that rolling down the road every day carrying cows

03:48:27.880 you know so i mean i don't know what they're trying to do here but wow you know

03:48:38.760 that's funny though i i need a laugh

03:48:45.000 i know it's ridiculous it is it's uh i mean i they what makes it funny is that they're actually

03:48:53.000 trying to do this as an intimidation tool um years ago i think back during the it's it's not even

03:49:00.360 meant so yes it's meant as an intimidation tool but it's not meant to intimidate um the united

03:49:08.280 states this is more meant to intimidate iranian people themselves right these are more meant to

03:49:15.640 be internal because they know they know that this is a joke for for americans but this is more meant

03:49:21.160 to scare the iranian protesters and freedom fighters right because they show stuff like this

03:49:26.680 to be like look how strong we are you know you guys better give up the revolution because you

03:49:31.400 have absolutely no chance um at winning look at how strong our rockets and missiles or whatever

03:49:36.920 are so it is definitely meant like as intimidation but the intended uh target audience is not the

03:49:43.640 united states the target audience um are the iranians themselves yeah that that's that's

03:49:48.440 no surprise and because of that i do want to ask one thing before i go of course and it it seems

03:49:55.640 like a really weird question but uh inside iran do the people do people have access to bleach

03:50:06.760 probably yeah okay um back the first time that i was on and we were talking about the the uh

03:50:13.960 chemical sprays i didn't want to say anything at that point because i wanted to i wanted to verify

03:50:20.680 what i figured was going on and then try to come up with a countermeasure for that that the iranian

03:50:26.040 people could do without anybody actually shipping product to them and if they get into that

03:50:32.840 situation where they're bringing out the sprayers if anybody gets sprayed with this what they need

03:50:38.520 to go what they need to do is go home immediately take the clothes off get in the shower and as

03:50:45.800 they're as they're as their water is up running over their head take a bottle take a like a gallon

03:50:51.400 bottle of bleach and dump that over their head it'll make your hair turn white but that's a small

03:50:57.160 price to pay because what that will do is it will bond to the chemical agents and i really don't

03:51:03.000 want to go into that um on youtube um because i know somebody will try to make it and end up

03:51:10.680 ending their entire city block but uh what that will do is it it the combination of water and

03:51:16.920 like liquid soap like dish soap and bleach will bond to any chemical agents that got onto you and

03:51:25.160 that will that will wash that all off and flush it right down the drain and as long as you didn't

03:51:31.800 get it internally like in the mouth or in the nose um you should be okay uh you're probably

03:51:39.080 still gonna get sick but it won't it shouldn't be lethal okay yeah let me that's really helpful

03:51:45.880 actually let me just translate that um into into persian for everyone so dustan um

03:52:01.800 uh major do you have to mix the the bleach with

03:52:30.360 no i would go stand in the shower and and let the water run down and then squirt the dish

03:52:38.920 soap on your head let that run down and then dump the bleach over your head okay so

03:53:00.360 and also it's material

03:53:15.260 Surний anything using a kind of cell disease

03:53:19.960 the veureet will get the name separator

03:53:22.960 which usually makes it for Clones

03:53:27.260 that have sunset

03:53:29.640 don't mix it

03:53:31.640 first dish soap

03:53:33.640 first dish soap

03:53:35.640 first bleach

03:53:37.640 then bleach

03:53:39.640 then this

03:53:41.640 can help

03:53:43.640 that chemical

03:53:45.640 will be

03:53:47.640 in

03:53:49.640 for example

03:53:51.640 it's the best way

03:53:55.640 that you can do

03:53:57.640 There you go. You're supposed to do it separately.

03:54:11.640 So he said,

03:54:13.640 This is all under the shower.

03:54:27.640 yeah now there the an important thing to remember is do not try and take a bath you need to be in a

03:54:45.480 shower to do this otherwise you're not you're not helping yourself all right me good uh two well

03:54:53.320 So there aren't really any bathtubs in Iran, so that's fine, right?

03:55:23.320 i know you have bathtubs but there's also showers so just focus on the shower

03:55:32.360 yeah now um to take care of the clothes that you were wearing that probably got

03:55:37.400 they probably got doused with this stuff um try to take it off when or when you take it off try

03:55:42.840 to throw it into a bucket um of some kind and once you get out of the shower just fill the bucket with

03:55:49.880 water and you know warm water and dish soap and agitate it with a broomstick don't put your hands

03:55:55.160 into it just agitate it with a broomstick you know get it all nice and sudsy you know nice soapy film

03:56:02.440 and then dump the dump the water down the drain and um you know try to find some kind of gloves

03:56:10.200 to wear then just hang up you know hang the wet clothes out to dry in the sunlight and that will

03:56:17.000 that'll that'll take care of your clothes don't use bleach because it'll turn your clothes white

03:56:21.720 you know but yeah hot soapy water on your clothes and then hang them up to dry or you know just i

03:56:28.200 would say just throw them out if the regime is like no you don't have to bring you with like

03:56:33.240 chemical chemical poison or weapons i would just you know throw out the clothes but anyways

03:56:39.080 a lot of people don't have that option so yeah so yeah just a bucket of hot soapy water don't

03:56:45.320 put bleach in there but just hot soapy water agitate it with like a broomstick and then hang

03:56:50.120 this stuff up to dry preferably in the sun and that will that will take care of whatever's on there

03:56:57.080 the reason you want to use bleach on your skin even though it's terrible for your skin

03:57:01.720 the reason you want to use bleach is because that actually cleans and and disinfects your actual

03:57:09.240 skin layer um which is really vital the the the sunlight will do it over time to your clothes

03:57:18.200 but for yourself you don't have that much time you need to get it done yeah uh as soon as you can

03:57:24.600 man so i mean never kid there's no bathtub sorry i misspoke man's i mean a kid people have showers

03:57:29.560 too sorry guys i know i know there's bathtubs in iran yeah but that that's what i meant don't

03:57:35.320 try to take a bath and do this if you climb into a bathtub make sure the drains open and just run a

03:57:41.240 shower over yourself to do that there's other things that i would recommend if people had time

03:57:50.440 but we didn't this all came up you know when it did and i honestly never suspected that they would

03:57:58.760 do something this this nuts um i'm i am mortally terrified of chemical weapons um so yeah i i i

03:58:09.160 wanted to make sure that's why i didn't say anything at first or the second time i wanted

03:58:14.440 to make sure that i was correct on improvised decontamination processes um before i came up

03:58:22.600 and said anything because i don't want to give out the wrong information thank you so much appreciate

03:58:27.640 that no that's really really helpful so okay wow well thank you thank you so much major um i really

03:58:35.560 appreciate your time appreciate the the input um on all the military stuff so always great to have

03:58:42.200 you on um yeah yeah well like i said you know if anytime this sort of thing comes up if i'm in the

03:58:50.760 chat i've got my phone next to me so apologies for the for the poor connection quality but uh

03:58:57.640 you know that's kind of where we are at the moment um no need to apologize it's it's definitely

03:59:03.320 improved so we always appreciate your input and an insight on all of that so yep always a pleasure

03:59:11.000 to be on keep up the fight javi and shaw thank you so much thank you wait someone is saying ask

03:59:19.400 what do you want me to ask him oh what if okay someone's saying what if there's no water

03:59:24.440 so what if you're trying to clean yourself from the chemicals but there's no water i think the

03:59:30.440 the only without without the water the water really helps to dilute the the bleach and the soap

03:59:38.040 um you could rub soap on yourself um and then pour bleach over uh just soap by itself and no

03:59:45.800 water that's not ideal but you could do it uh you could also use you could also honestly use sand

03:59:52.600 i wouldn't use dirt like like potting soil i wouldn't use that but you could keep a bucket

03:59:58.920 of sand handy and use that to help scrape off uh the soap if you have to put the soap on like

04:00:06.360 lotion yeah don't don't use don't use skin lotion don't use that but yeah like liquid dish soap

04:00:13.400 like dawn or something um yeah just literally squirt it over the affected areas and uh rub

04:00:19.960 vigorously and then just try to rub sand on it to get rid of that and that that

04:00:26.560 will also take off the contamination it's not as good as water soap and

04:00:31.760 bleach but you can use that in a pinch okay yeah all right well thank you so

04:00:38.720 much major I appreciate that um guys major will also be in the chat if you

04:00:43.020 have any follow-up questions as well but thank you so much for joining we'll

04:00:48.460 definitely have to have you back on again especially as things continue to to escalate

04:00:53.560 um i really do appreciate your input and and insight on the military aspect of it so thank

04:01:00.240 you so much for being here um oh thank you you're the best you're the best um so guys everyone put

04:01:06.900 an m in the chat for major m in the chat for major appreciation okay great so i'm gonna take

04:01:17.100 um a short break while i'm taking a break i'm gonna play uh this news clip that um

04:01:24.780 was just released by fox news live

04:01:30.220 and um i will be back in about 10 minutes or so i need to go downstairs and uh grab grab a delivery

04:01:40.460 so let me just without the water water really helps to dilute the bleach and the soap um

04:01:54.060 oh i think it was a bit of a

04:02:01.180 a little bit of a feedback loop there okay um i'll be back at

04:02:10.460 Okay. I will see you guys in about 10 minutes.

04:02:20.580 You are taking a live look at the White House at this hour. And I actually want to pop this up

04:02:25.180 on your screen as a new report this morning from Axios claims the U.S. could be moving toward

04:02:31.720 military action in Iran, despite officials from both the U.S. and Iran saying it appears Tuesday's

04:02:38.380 nuclear talks in Geneva went fairly well. Barack Ravid with Axios writing an article this morning

04:02:44.820 saying, quote, Trump moves closer to a major war with Iran. It could come sooner and be much bigger

04:02:51.020 than most recognized, sources tell me. Vice President J.D. Vance was speaking on Fox News

04:02:56.780 just yesterday and had a lot to say as he was asked questions about the situation with Iran,

04:03:02.240 as well as several other topics. Now, I do want to play just a quick

04:03:06.100 a moment here from that interview as he addressed those talks that took place just yesterday there

04:03:12.220 in Geneva.

04:03:23.340 And unfortunately, it looks like we do not have that soundbite. But what I want to do for you

04:03:28.320 is just kind of continue with our coverage here as President Trump's U.S. Envoy Steve Witkopf

04:03:34.460 and Jared Kushner met with officials in Geneva on Tuesday for those discussions on Iran's nuclear

04:03:40.200 program. Iran's foreign minister emerged from the talk saying the U.S. and Iran found some common

04:03:45.960 ground, but at the same time, Iranian officials have threatened military action of their own,

04:03:51.820 and some have questioned whether Iran can be trusted in those talks. Iran's Supreme Leader

04:03:57.340 Ayatollah Ali Khamenei went on an ex-rant during the talks, presenting some strong words for

04:04:03.220 President Trump and the U.S., which in all honesty is not really that different from what we've heard

04:04:08.180 from him in the past. So the question is, what happens next? Ben Cohen is a senior analyst and

04:04:14.380 rapid response director at the Foundation for Defensive Democracies, bringing him in now to

04:04:19.900 talk a little bit more about where we head next. Thank you so much for taking the time to be here

04:04:25.620 with us this morning. Good morning, Josh. Good to be with you. Thank you. And of course, I wanted

04:04:31.300 to ask you here, we heard from Iran's foreign minister right after those talks concluded

04:04:35.900 yesterday, possibly still kind of ongoing at the time, but he seemed to indicate that there was

04:04:41.800 at least a little success that took place. I wanted to get your take on his comments and

04:04:47.300 what you feel kind of progressed maybe during those talks. Well, in some ways, Josh, I think

04:04:54.160 the most significant thing happened outside the talks, because as those talks were taking place

04:04:58.600 And as envoys Wyckoff and Kushner were arriving in Geneva, Iran actually carried out naval drills in the Gulf.

04:05:08.480 And you had live fire exercises going on.

04:05:13.880 Now, that waterway where those naval drills were being carried out carries 20 percent of the world's oil.

04:05:22.180 and Iran was basically sending a very strong message that, look, any attack on us will result

04:05:28.720 in a major rupture to the world's oil supplies. So, you know, in Geneva, we're hearing a lot of

04:05:35.340 sugar-coated words from the Iranian delegation, but one could also argue that what we're seeing

04:05:41.040 in terms of the Gulf and in terms of that naval exercise yesterday carried out by the Islamic

04:05:48.460 Revolutionary Guards Corps. That's where we're seeing the real Iran. I think as well, in terms

04:05:56.640 of Foreign Minister Arachi's comments yesterday that good progress is being made, what struck me

04:06:03.380 is that there is very little detail that is being shared. And we know already that two of the three

04:06:11.860 topics that the US wants to negotiate with Iran. The three topics are the support for terror

04:06:19.020 proxies, Iran's ballistic missile program, and Iran's nuclear program. The Iranians are only

04:06:24.680 willing to talk about the nuclear program. They're not willing to talk about their ballistic missiles.

04:06:30.180 They're not willing to talk about their support for terrorist organizations around the Middle

04:06:36.320 East. And even on the nuclear program, I don't think that the US administration is going to get

04:06:42.180 the kind of deal that it's looking for. The Iranian deputy foreign minister over the weekend

04:06:46.620 was saying, well, if we end our enrichment activities, our uranium enrichment activities,

04:06:53.020 or we move these activities abroad, we want you to lift sanctions. So I personally don't see

04:07:01.420 much of a path forward for these negotiations. And you kind of mentioned not really getting

04:07:07.120 a lot of information. We haven't really heard from the White House to get a full reaction.

04:07:12.180 What I will say is, I mentioned this earlier, but Vice President Vance appeared on Fox News

04:07:17.260 Channel and talked very briefly about this. I want to play that quick portion for you right here.

04:07:22.040 It was very clear that the president has set some red lines that the Iranians are not yet

04:07:28.260 willing to actually acknowledge and work through. The president of the United States is very

04:07:32.800 much trying to find a solution here, whether it's through diplomatic options or through

04:07:37.680 another option that means that the Iranians cannot have a nuclear weapon.

04:07:43.100 Any change, anything you're hearing from that that kind of stands out to you? Again, it's

04:07:46.840 a very short sound bite there from Vice President Vance. But what does that tell us, if anything?

04:07:53.900 Well, I think what we heard there was actually quite an efficient summary of the negotiations.

04:07:59.260 There are some vague good intentions, but the two sides are too far apart.

04:08:05.640 And I think as well, again, if you look at the comments that have been made by members of the administration over the last few days,

04:08:12.800 it doesn't seem that there's a lot of optimism out there.

04:08:15.540 Secretary Rubio was in Munich last weekend for the Munich Security Conference, and he pointed out, look, no one's ever done a successful deal with Iran.

04:08:25.720 And I think with all the best intentions in the world, that rule is going to apply here as well.

04:08:34.620 So I think that, and of course, President Trump has said, again, in the last few days, that as far as he's concerned, the best outcome here would be a change of regime in Iran.

04:08:46.900 So I don't think that they are holding out too much hope for these negotiations.

04:08:53.200 And I think, again, I'm always reminded whenever there are talks with Iran of that old cliche that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

04:09:05.600 And I think we're in a little bit of a situation like that now with Iran.

04:09:10.280 So the question, Josh, I think is going to be how long does this negotiating process go on for?

04:09:16.180 We're seeing, as illustrated in the pictures that you're showing now, there is a significant U.S. military buildup in the region.

04:09:26.780 And it could be that at some point the president and his administration are going to run out of patience and the focus is going to shift to the kinetic aspect of this dispute with Iran.

04:09:38.560 And that leads me to this. I want to pop this up once again. It's from Barack Ravid over at Axios.

04:09:44.020 his reporting usually spot on there. Now, he posted this article this morning and said, quote,

04:09:49.240 Trump moves closer to a major war with Iran. It could come sooner and be much bigger than most

04:09:55.080 recognized sources tell me. That's his story there on Axios. Anything to take away from that? Of

04:10:00.300 course, I have not read the full story just yet, and I'm not sure if you have either. But anything

04:10:05.500 to take away just from those words that you're seeing on your screen? Yeah, absolutely, Josh.

04:10:11.060 I mean, we're seeing, again, particularly over the last 24 hours, a very significant military buildup.

04:10:18.040 You've got more than 30 F-16s heading to the region.

04:10:23.000 You've got about a dozen, I believe, F-22s that are heading to the region.

04:10:27.720 We already have the Abraham Lincoln carrier in the region.

04:10:31.580 The Gerald Ford is now on its way.

04:10:34.640 So, yes, there is a very big buildup of U.S. military hardware in the region.

04:10:41.340 And I think that sends a message, a very clear message to the Iranian regime, that there is a limited time frame.

04:10:49.320 There's a limited window now for negotiations.

04:10:53.460 But there is a lot of firepower in place there.

04:10:57.040 I think as well, it's important to remember the context of this current round of conflict with Iran.

04:11:05.240 You know, we had in January massive demonstrations across Iran.

04:11:10.260 Of all the protest waves of the last 15 years, that was the biggest.

04:11:15.220 Last weekend, you had demonstrations of, you know, the Iranian diaspora in various cities.

04:11:21.020 I think around a million people in total were out demonstrating and heeding the call for regime

04:11:27.260 change. That seems to have encouraged the battered citizens of Iran to revive their protests. I've

04:11:34.980 been seeing a lot of video over the last couple of days of Iranians, you know, in the street at home

04:11:40.900 chanting the slogans that we heard in January, that they want an end to the regime, that they

04:11:46.700 want an end to the Ayatollahs. So I do think that, you know, we're on the cusp really of perhaps the

04:11:55.580 most significant change in the region since the October 7 massacre in Israel two and a half years

04:12:03.120 ago. But there was always the possibility, particularly with this administration, that it

04:12:09.340 pulls back right at the point where you think it's going to unleash the firepower that it's building

04:12:16.080 out there. It's also important to note that one of President Trump's kind of sticking points here,

04:12:21.680 what led him to initially make the comments that Iran would be struck by the U.S., we're talking

04:12:27.360 weeks ago, was those protests that were getting underway and executions of the protesters,

04:12:33.420 demonstrators. We've heard many different totals for death counts from different groups there,

04:12:38.440 as little as maybe 5,000 or 6,000, and then as high as 30,000, maybe even higher.

04:12:45.560 Does it appear that those executions are still continuing, despite

04:12:49.420 comments there from the Iranian regime that they are not executing people?

04:12:55.600 Yeah, it absolutely does. And in fact, my colleagues who work on the Iran program at FDD

04:13:02.000 have been monitoring this very closely. And we've seen increasingly now that people who were arrested

04:13:08.160 during the January demonstrations are being prepared for execution now. And I believe there

04:13:13.220 have already been some executions of protesters from last month there. So they're absolutely

04:13:19.460 continuing with that. And they're continuing, by the way, Josh, with other sorts of barbaric

04:13:25.360 behavior, punishing entire families, which is a classic tactic of totalitarian and dictatorial

04:13:32.700 regimes, refusing medical treatment to injured protesters. So I think, you know, again,

04:13:41.240 for all the sugar-coated words you hear from Iranian officials and from their foreign minister,

04:13:47.980 nothing has really changed on the ground there. They are very much still in active repression

04:13:54.900 mode. All right, my last question, as always, for you. What do we watch for here in the coming

04:14:00.280 hours, days, all of it? Well, I think we need to see the completion of this buildup in the Middle

04:14:07.340 East. I think that the arrival of the Gerald Ford could potentially be a significant development

04:14:14.720 in terms of how quickly we get to some kind of military action on Iran. The question as well

04:14:23.220 is, will the Iranians blink now? They've never blinked in the past. When they were negotiating

04:14:28.660 with the Obama administration a decade ago, I think that they had the, they dominated those

04:14:36.100 negotiations and their agenda set those negotiations. I think that they got accustomed

04:14:41.520 to leading the U.S. and its allies in this kind of merry dance around the nuclear program.

04:14:48.040 I think there's a lot less patience and tolerance for that with this administration.

04:14:53.720 All right, Ben Cohen, as always, we appreciate you taking the time to join us here. Anything

04:14:57.920 we miss that you want to make sure that we add here before I let you go? Well, just one quick

04:15:04.260 point I want to make. I think you'll remember that last June, Israel and the U.S. carried out

04:15:09.660 serious airstrikes against Iran's nuclear facilities and other military installations.

04:15:14.960 And when that happened, they basically had the discrete cooperation of the Arab states

04:15:20.160 in the region. And now the Arab states and Turkey are actively lobbying against military action

04:15:27.860 with Iran. So I would say in terms of watching the situation, trying to figure out where it's

04:15:33.660 evolving, let's look at what the Arab states are saying and doing. And remember that we have

04:15:39.400 a major air base in Qatar, at Al-Udeid in Qatar. And if the Qatari emir does not allow the US

04:15:47.800 to use that base in any action on Iran, then I think we would have to seriously consider

04:15:53.700 the value of having a military base in a country like Qatar that basically shuts off access

04:16:01.820 at just the time that we need it. All right. Ben Cohen there at the FDD,

04:16:07.200 the Foundation for Defensive Democracies. Thank you again for being here with us. We

04:16:11.340 definitely appreciate it. Good to be with you, Josh. And of course, we will continue.

04:16:16.080 There we go. So that was interesting. Fox News just uploaded that a few minutes ago. So let's now turn to news coming out of Iran. You sent a documentary. Carl, where did you send the documentary to Carl?

04:16:46.080 where'd you send the documentary to can you let me know wait let's see if I can

04:16:58.620 find it

04:17:10.040 I'm just waiting for the chat to load up on X

04:17:16.080 check my email okay let's see if i can find it

04:17:30.080 Oh, interesting. Okay. All right. I have it here. Let me, um,

04:17:49.680 let me just save this to, um, there we go. Okay.

04:17:56.900 I saved it to the documentary watch list. Thank you for that, Carl. I got that.

04:18:05.920 Really appreciate that. Okay. We'll, I'm actually interested in,

04:18:10.740 in looking at that. So maybe we'll play that, um, in a little bit for sure.

04:18:16.420 What I wanted to do is I wanted to turn to information coming out of Iran,

04:18:24.040 because there is of course footage coming out tonight so oh and guys by the way look what i

04:18:31.160 have i have kotlet so i'm gonna be eating kotlet tonight there we go okay so oh by the way um happy

04:18:48.600 i should um i should do another shot to celebrate ramadan

04:19:01.080 quitlet quitlet is it's basically like um it's basically like uh the iranian version

04:19:08.200 of like a beef patty it's basically ground beef um potatoes and onion so

04:19:15.320 So really good.

04:19:24.580 Okay.

04:19:25.840 But I can't, I can't eat and talk at the same time.

04:19:29.420 So let's go to some footage coming out.

04:19:32.340 So this is from tonight.

04:19:36.640 A large crowd gathered tonight, 29th of Bahman.

04:19:40.540 that's that's today february um 18 in najaf abad isfahan to commemorate and hold the 40th day

04:19:48.700 ceremony of the of the eternal ones the jabi noms right so they cut off their electricity

04:19:56.300 and the people lit up their phone flashlights instead so um when iranians in isfahan were

04:20:02.140 gathering to honor the dead uh you know the the iranians murdered by the regime um

04:20:08.380 The regime shut off the internet, so this is how Iranians responded.

04:20:38.380 so you can see iranian people are determined right um regardless of how much the regime

04:20:58.320 is trying to prevent Iranians from going out.

04:21:07.420 Oh, look at this.

04:21:15.120 So this is a really important message.

04:21:16.940 This is from King Rzapahlevi's podcast on February 9.

04:21:21.420 So his communications team retweeted this.

04:21:27.900 So let's play this, because this is an important message.

04:21:31.300 Do you think, in the way that the Air Force generals met with Khomeini 47 years ago,

04:21:36.620 do you think there are members of the regular Iranian armed forces who would help you establish

04:21:42.060 and your allies establish a monopoly of force in Iran so that there wasn't a civil war?

04:21:48.680 Well, look, when I started this campaign about a year ago, and we started a special process

04:21:55.640 whereby people who want to defect from the regime have a secure means to communicate their intentions

04:22:00.920 to us we started this about six months ago to this day we had over 160 000 people who have applied

04:22:07.560 many of them are members of the security forces the military forces the civic bureaucracy that

04:22:13.640 have reached out to us that are willing to play a role and making sure that we can usher in that

04:22:18.360 transition in other words they want to be part of the solution and what like like to take this

04:22:22.920 opportunity to stress that unlike a scenario that wasn't quite well handled in terms of regime

04:22:30.280 change example iraq and debatification our position is very clear for all those people

04:22:36.360 who are not directly responsible for the massacre of their own citizenry or have the blood of the

04:22:41.880 people on their hand they can survive regime change and have a place in the future the people

04:22:47.000 who will have rendered justice for the crimes will be judged like we had at the end of the second

04:22:51.960 war and the nuremberg trials for instance but many of them have not been directly associated with

04:22:57.480 that violence or criminally involved and they can have a place in the future when you're part of the

04:23:04.440 solution you are an element that will in fact reduce the risks of instability or chaos to the

04:23:10.920 contrary it will help facilitate a more smooth transition so there's a sense of national

04:23:16.280 reconciliation amnesty at play as well but those who will have to face justice will face justice

04:23:21.320 there's no question about that. Iranian people need to have their day in court against these

04:23:26.200 criminal people, but at the same time, they understand that we need to make sure that we

04:23:31.560 can have a successful transition. And every Iranian that I know that are believing in that

04:23:37.720 freedom know the responsibility that we all bear together to push that agenda forward and minimize

04:23:44.200 all the risk, minimize the casualties, maximize success by guaranteeing the most stable possible

04:23:49.960 transition um why is there an account named tussi's hair does my hair tussi know about this

04:24:05.400 what is this

04:24:17.960 I'm sending that to 2C.

04:24:21.960 Oh, no.

04:24:23.960 My charger fell.

04:24:28.960 Okay.

04:24:31.960 Wait, let me send that to 2C.

04:24:47.960 He just responded.

04:25:14.140 He's like, ha, ha, ha, wow.

04:25:15.740 All right.

04:25:19.300 There you go.

04:25:26.420 Okay.

04:25:45.740 So, Iranians are honoring the 40th, right?

04:25:50.760 So, everyone's posting videos of the various funerals that are happening.

04:26:15.740 Oh

04:26:45.740 Um, guys, I just want to, I want to point out that with these, with these, um, uh, memorials,

04:27:01.320 like with, with all the funerals, um, this is a huge, huge cultural shift. Okay. Like we've never

04:27:10.160 seen or done anything like this, right? Like we've never, like Iranians, we've never like danced or

04:27:18.420 played joyous music at funerals. It's usually always been like, you know, the Quran and like

04:27:26.160 Arabic music and everyone's, you know, like praying to Allah or whatever. But this, the reason that

04:27:35.900 Iranians are dancing and, um, you know, playing, playing joyous music, um, is because that's what

04:27:47.300 all of these young people have been saying. Like, they're like, you know, when we go out,

04:27:51.660 you know, if we're murdered, don't cry, don't like recite the Quran, instead, you know, sing,

04:28:06.500 dance, and be happy. Exactly. And this goes back to Majid Reza Rahnavard. So let me find that

04:28:17.000 um video by magic so i can explain

04:28:29.320 um he was so so brave

04:28:38.360 let me find the video

04:28:46.360 Maybe it's in my own account.

04:29:10.360 give me a moment guys sorry I want to provide the context here

04:29:22.140 here we go so um this is really dark guys this is really dark so just prepare prepare yourselves

04:29:45.300 for this. So this is someone named Majid Reza Rahnavard. And he was arrested three years ago

04:30:02.100 during the initial

04:30:05.020 during the initial like woman life freedom movements

04:30:10.440 from from before

04:30:13.760 and he was caught by the regime

04:30:18.020 and he was

04:30:21.800 sentenced to death he was tortured

04:30:25.500 oh here we go I found I found this one okay

04:30:28.060 actually this is this is a better version

04:30:31.200 this is a better version but let me let me just um let me share

04:30:35.620 okay

04:30:38.820 so this was this was Majid Reza Rahnavat he was very brave he had a lion and son

04:30:48.480 tattoo on his arm okay um the reason that his arm is broken is because after he was captured

04:30:58.400 he was tortured and the islamic regime broke his arm they broke his arm because his arm had the

04:31:06.720 lion and son tattoo on it so here he is um after you know torture um he's blindfolded

04:31:17.280 um i guess his hair has been cut short whatever his his arm is broken um because they um

04:31:24.460 right? The lion and son is, you know, the Islamic regime doesn't like that. So they broke his arm.

04:31:37.080 There's also a photo of him as he's being hanged, like he's up in the air. He's, you know, on a

04:31:44.520 crane. I'm not going to show that one. So let me just change my tab here so that I can

04:31:52.060 I can show the video I don't I don't want to show that image um on YouTube live but you go to you

04:32:01.000 know you go to X I mean go to X and just search literally Majid Reza Rahnavar search for his name

04:32:07.280 and the image will come up of him you know um when he's hanging from the crane it's it's really

04:32:13.560 horrifying but um before he was executed the regime asked him you know no he's he he was he

04:32:23.380 was murdered three years ago the regime murdered him three years ago before he was murdered

04:32:29.100 right by public execution um in december of 2012 the islamic regime state tv being like

04:32:39.200 you know messed up and sick and savage they interviewed him live they interviewed him live

04:32:45.440 and you know basically they they wanted to um show the iranian people that they had broken his will

04:32:54.560 and that um that you know he he had now succumbed to you know the regime or you know whatever so

04:33:02.400 um the regime asked him you know what what what is your last will and testament what is your

04:33:08.080 message to like the people of iran before before you're hanged before you're executed and he says

04:33:30.560 so he says yeah i wrote in my will and like so they were trying to like make it seem like he's

04:33:35.520 a bad person but like just imagine just imagine how brave how brave you have to be right where

04:33:43.120 you've been tortured your arms been broken um you know we went over we went over um the torture

04:33:52.400 methods from the islamic regime yesterday and so here they're they're basically trying to humiliate

04:33:59.680 him or embarrass him or whatever the case may be and and the guy's like you wrote in your will that

04:34:05.840 you don't want them to recite the quran you don't want them to pray for you and he's like no no

04:34:15.600 he's like no no prayers he's like celebrate instead

04:34:21.680 play happy music so that that from you know that there from three years ago

04:34:29.680 they burned his arm okay someone is saying that it means they yeah they i wouldn't be surprised

04:34:38.180 they probably burned the tattoo off as the torture method right um yeah he was very brave he was very

04:34:45.220 strong so that is why um that's why right now what you're seeing is basically all iranians right all

04:34:57.420 all iranians now in honor of majid they always say um you know if i if i get killed by the regime

04:35:05.800 yeah they they burned and broke his arm yeah of course they burned and broke his arm horrifying

04:35:12.160 um but that's why that's why you're seeing these videos so the guys this is a huge huge cultural

04:35:20.420 shift okay so this isn't something that we iranians have done before okay usually when

04:35:25.980 there's a mourning ceremony. It's just like, you know, the Quran and, you know,

04:35:29.400 prayers or whatever. But as you can tell, Iranians are done with Islam. They're done

04:35:35.300 with the Quran. And instead, they're all dancing,

04:35:48.380 celebrating to the point that they can. And they're playing, they're playing happy music. So

04:35:54.720 sorry, I need a moment here.

04:36:06.660 So they're, they're playing happy music because this is how, like, this is, this is the last

04:36:14.540 will and testament of the Iranian people. So this is why, this is why you're seeing people dancing

04:36:20.640 over graves so it's it's a fundamental cultural shift and the regime is pretty much done right

04:36:31.400 like islam is done so you know let's watch and remember guys remember today's like what the

04:36:35.940 first or second day of ramadan i don't know so it's ramadan right ramadan and yet iranians

04:36:42.220 literally don't care they don't care it's the middle of the day and they're playing uh iranian

04:36:48.480 music and, and dancing.

04:37:18.480 So, there you go.

04:37:48.480 um oh this flamingo so flamingo this guy this guy's actually yeah well this person

04:37:55.280 is um is in iran i think so i don't know maybe not but okay so here's a here's another one

04:38:03.280 right so it's not just one funeral it's all the funerals so let's look at this card

04:38:18.480 so here they're saying which means we swear by the blood of our

04:38:44.560 uh of our you know friends that we're we're going to stand until the end

04:38:49.080 so they're saying this flower has wilted and has become a gift to the nation

04:39:02.860 so again guys um no no arabic no quran no islamic prayers

04:39:14.300 nothing like that it's all Persian it's all uh like Iranian um it's Iranian music right as you

04:39:23.200 can see um a lot of women aren't even wearing hijab right like they're they're um not wearing

04:39:29.760 hijab on purpose so literally a fundamental cultural shift and again like we've we've never

04:39:37.860 seen um like this has never really happened before but this is because of the um the the

04:39:48.740 savagery the brutality of the regime people are done with the regime they're done with islam and

04:39:55.140 this is how uh you know the nation is uniting um and fighting back right like they're everyone's

04:40:02.900 making a statement everyone's making a statement and you know again compare this with like a lot

04:40:14.880 of Arabic societies where you know there's like Allah Akbar or like you know whatever and you

04:40:22.700 know like Allah Akbar it's not it's not a bad thing if it's done in the proper context right

04:40:27.860 So, for example, in like, you know, prayers or, you know, morning ceremonies and things

04:40:34.780 like that, of course, it's normal to say Allah Akbar when you're reciting prayers.

04:40:37.980 But, you know, I'm going to play a whole bunch of videos for you guys.

04:40:41.360 And as you can tell, you're not going to hear a single Allah Akbar.

04:40:44.840 You're not going to hear any Arabic.

04:40:46.040 It's because Iranians are fundamentally rejecting the religion.

04:40:50.000 And instead, they're just, you know, focusing more on the Iranian language and identity.

04:40:55.300 And yes, I see that Tusi's going live in 30 minutes. Thank you so much for letting me know.

04:41:02.780 I'm keeping an eye on that. And when he goes live, we will switch to Tusi.

04:41:06.500 so this is this is the voice of the person who passed away apparently um you know this is a this

04:41:29.300 is a you know video of him an older video of him where he was singing so they're playing the audio

04:41:35.380 of him singing at his own funeral.

04:42:05.380 Um, oops, so there's this one, and then here's another one.

04:42:20.940 so sheldon sheldon's um in iran and he's sharing this video so here's another funeral video

04:42:40.620 oh my gosh

04:42:41.500 this is hard okay so um i'll play the video once and then i'll go back and i'll translate it but

04:42:51.580 this is this is a little girl this is a little girl who's sending a message to her father this

04:42:58.220 is her father's the the the 40th day memorial um funeral memorial for her father let me just play

04:43:05.420 it once and I'll go back and I'll translate.

04:43:35.420 so she basically says you know hello my beloved father you know it's been 40 days

04:43:53.020 i miss you i love you thank you for being in my life i know that you're always here with me and

04:43:58.620 you know, I miss you. Yeah, I know, I know that you're in a better place. Yeah, that too. So she

04:44:09.560 says, I know you're in a better, better place. Um, here's another one.

04:44:30.200 so again this is this is all um like iranian music right it's not arabic it's persian

04:45:00.200 Thank you.

04:45:30.200 um i'm pretty sure you're also not supposed to like play music or sing during ramadan because

04:45:39.160 it's considered you know offensive to islam or whatever um but as you can see iranians don't

04:45:43.720 care so it's the middle of the day it's the middle of the day and you know if iranians were muslim

04:45:48.840 right they would be observing ramadan they would be fasting they would be like i don't know chanting

04:45:53.160 islamic prayers or whatever but instead like literally they don't care they are um singing

04:46:00.480 in persian they brought um like a traditional um traditional iranian live band with them

04:46:07.900 and they're they're singing um and playing music in persian which is directly contrary to

04:46:17.420 to Ramadan right um so it just goes to show again like it's a it's a fundamental

04:46:23.660 fundamental cultural shift right exactly middle of the day middle of Ramadan right fundamental

04:46:32.100 cultural shift right like when I say Iranians aren't Muslim right like this is what I'm referring

04:46:37.380 to um because like literally no one cares no one cares that it's Ramadan it means nothing

04:46:42.680 Islam is pretty much dead in Iran.

04:46:47.680 Jeez. 0.96

04:46:49.460 Wait, when is this from?

04:46:54.540 This is old.

04:46:57.800 Oh, yeah.

04:47:02.000 This is the...

04:47:03.800 I posted this picture, but these are bodies.

04:47:09.340 These are bodies of Iranians that were murdered by the regime.

04:47:11.960 and they were tossed outside of a hospital just tossed outside in an alley alleyway this was on

04:47:19.940 january 9 okay so apparently reuters are reporting that president trump's national security advisors

04:47:38.480 discussed Iran during a White House Situation Room meeting on Wednesday.

04:47:54.020 Well, the regime is definitely digging a hole for itself

04:48:01.360 because apparently the regime's atomic chief,

04:48:04.860 mohammad islami says the country is determined to advance its program in line with um i a ea

04:48:14.960 regulations and then he says no one can deprive iran of nuclear energy he was quoted as saying

04:48:20.900 by the state media so there you go um there's that wait someone's someone's sending me a link

04:48:29.500 on x let me go see what that is okay all right sorry guys let me go to the chat on x so i can

04:49:32.320 to meet israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to discuss iran over the weekend of february 28

04:49:39.280 reuters reported citing a senior u.s official

04:50:04.640 murdered tens of thousands of iranians in response undeterred citizens are holding memorials for those

04:50:11.780 murdered, once again chanting the same slogans. So let's watch this.

04:51:33.880 Kavica, Kavica, Kavica, Kavica

04:51:46.880 in

04:52:16.880 Okay, here's another one.

04:52:39.720 so um at this at this memorial at this 40th day memorial instead of like reciting the quran or you

04:52:49.900 know praying like islamic chants or whatever um iranians instead played a iran a iran is the

04:52:57.980 one of the unofficial national anthems of the country

04:53:01.500 Thank you.

04:53:31.500 wow guys like that that song is banned right like that song is banned um in occupied iran

04:53:58.460 Washington expects Tehran to submit a written proposal on resolving the standoff following

04:54:11.360 Tuesday's talks in Geneva Reuters reported citing a senior U.S. official interesting okay so this

04:54:20.840 one. So this person sends a video to Manotow News and says, today I covered Jalal Street leading to

04:54:30.180 Vakil Abad, the same street where on the night of the 19th, 19th of day, that would be January 9.

04:54:37.540 So on the night of January 9, our young people were scattered like petals with flowers. So what

04:54:44.540 they mean, you know, when they say young people scattered like petals, that means they were

04:54:49.620 basically shot down and murdered, right? So what this person is doing is they're going to the

04:54:55.120 area. So this is like 40 days after this person went to the area where a large number of unarmed

04:55:04.240 Iranians were murdered by the regime. And they're scattering flower petals in honor of the Iranians

04:55:11.200 that were murdered.

04:55:19.620 wow apparently okay so this is footage from tonight so tonight in tehran repressive

04:55:47.980 islamic regime forces are patrolling harassing residents gunshots have been heard in apa donna

04:55:54.620 we urge the promised assistance before further lives are lost

04:55:57.740 cease negotiations and the iran massacre bomb islamic regime terrorists javid shah so this is

04:56:05.260 this is footage this is from tonight this was posted um an hour ago this is in this is in tehran

04:56:17.980 Oh my gosh, here's more footage from today.

04:56:47.980 So they're all chanting Maghbar Khamenei, right?

04:57:06.800 Look at this huge crowd.

04:57:08.680 Look at this huge crowd of angry Iranians, right?

04:57:11.420 the regime thought the regime thought that um by by slaughtering us um this would make

04:57:19.660 iranians give up this would make iranians scared but as you can see the only thing it's done

04:57:25.900 is that it's angered iranians even more and right people are still out people are out

04:57:34.700 in even bigger numbers than before and they're chanting death to Khamenei, Magba Khamenei.

04:58:04.700 oh wow okay so so the education ministry of the islamic regime sent threatening text messages

04:58:22.060 to families after students boycotted school classes in solidarity with last month's nationwide

04:58:29.420 protests and to commemorate slain protesters people familiar with the matter told iran international

04:58:36.140 a screenshot of a text message sent to one family shows education officials pointing to students

04:58:43.420 absence on february 17 and 18 warning disciplinary action would be taken if the absences continued

04:58:50.780 sources told iran international that education authorities had earlier threatened students

04:58:56.140 with great deductions over their absence in recent days some students have taken down and

04:59:01.740 burned photos of the supreme leader ali khamenei and his predecessor ruhullah khomeini in classrooms

04:59:08.300 often singing along patriotic songs let's see if you can find oh i don't have they

04:59:15.580 don't have a copy of the text message okay they don't have a copy of the text message

04:59:20.700 Okay. Here's another one. So this is a 40th day memorial ceremony for Murtaza Shahzidi.

04:59:35.300 Let's watch this one.

04:59:50.700 Thank you.

05:00:20.700 honestly guys it's it's so like it's incredibly like um bizarre but in a very heartbreaking way

05:00:34.160 to hear like um happy dance music right like this is the kind of music that people play at weddings

05:00:41.760 this is the kind of music people play when they're you know having a party and they're celebrating

05:00:45.020 and so it's very um it's it's like we're it's just very heartbreaking it's heartbreaking to

05:00:53.320 see the juxtaposition of like the you know happy music which is supposed to be meant for

05:01:00.640 for celebrations being played at funerals in honor of of um all the all the murdered people

05:01:10.700 because that's that's been like that's literally everyone's request everyone has said if i die

05:01:15.520 don't cry for me or like if i get murdered by the islamic regime don't recite the quran

05:01:21.940 don't pray for me don't cry instead i want you to sing and dance and celebrate 0.88

05:01:40.700 so the sound that women make that's um that's like uh it's called allulation

05:01:49.900 is that how it's pronounced oh it's like ovulation let me see here

05:01:58.780 uvulation ululation i don't know wait how do i pronounce it give me a moment here

05:02:10.700 oh you okay ululation that's how it's pronounced it's it's ululation similar to like um

05:02:19.080 you know like xena xena warrior princess you're right that sort of thing so

05:02:24.620 it's very common among various various cultures

05:02:30.000 and you know in in iranian culture when we all you late

05:02:40.440 it's only done in the context of celebration right so we do it at like weddings you know

05:02:48.100 birthday parties we do it when we're like celebrating something so um unlike you know

05:02:53.780 some other cultures where um when they all you late it's because they're attacking right so this

05:02:59.860 isn't like the you know nonsense um this is like a different different style and it's it's only

05:03:07.920 reserved for um joyous occasions right so this is it like this is we only do it for joyous occasions

05:03:16.780 to you know express joy um so you know weddings birthday parties um you know things like that

05:03:24.400 we, we certainly don't do it at funerals or, you know, we haven't,

05:03:28.660 we haven't done it at funerals, but now that Iranians are doing it. Yeah.

05:03:33.840 Especially like weddings, a hundred percent, like it's,

05:03:36.360 it's all over weddings. Right.

05:03:39.760 It's not something that's ever been done at funerals until now,

05:03:44.200 until now. And again,

05:03:45.920 this goes back to the whole last will and Testament of all the murdered

05:03:51.360 Iranians who are saying, yeah, mostly in weddings. Yeah. Last will and testament of

05:03:59.960 Iranians who are saying, you know, don't cry. Don't read the Quran. Celebrate.

05:04:21.360 my

05:04:51.360 is it mainly in the south i mean so yeah like i mean i i actually don't know if it's done in

05:05:15.280 the north or not but like i'm from avas so yeah like everywhere like we we kill all the time

05:05:21.840 i'm should kill me zani i don't know can anyone confirm 0.94

05:05:32.800 yeah okay so tehranis you guys do it too 0.96

05:05:38.000 okay yeah typically it's only women it's it's i think someone asked if men do this

05:05:45.200 or women. It's, it's typically women. Um, it's, um, yeah, a lot of, listen, a lot of cultures

05:05:58.780 allulate, a lot of cultures, um, allulate. So, um, men don't typically do it. Um, if like,

05:06:09.420 you know, if a man does it, it's more, he's just like, you know, like having fun or like,

05:06:14.260 you know, joking around or, you know, like teasing or something, right? Okay. Gilan. There you go.

05:06:22.520 I'm talking about, I'm talking about Iranian men, not, not Native American men. No, no, no. Guys,

05:06:27.800 when I say, when I said men don't do it, I'm referring to Iranian culture, Iranian men,

05:06:32.700 of course. Yeah. Native American men, of course, do that. But I'm just, guys, sorry. I'm only,

05:06:40.040 i'm only talking about the augulation within the context of iranian culture because that's that's

05:06:45.720 you know my area of expertise i would never i actually wouldn't know i mean i know that native

05:06:52.280 american men do it but other cultures i wouldn't i wouldn't know um but uh yeah like iranian men

05:06:59.080 iranian men don't because it's typically like um like it's just reserved for women

05:07:04.040 the only time a man would do it is if like right like he's just joking around he's like trying to

05:07:11.120 be cute or something but it's typically like it's not something that a man would do and as you can

05:07:15.760 see from the video it's only the women it's only the women who allulate the men don't so

05:07:21.420 all right here's another one

05:07:36.700 so this is for this is a 40th day memorial ceremony for Bahram

05:07:45.300 and at his 40th day memorial,

05:07:51.240 Iranians were chanting

05:07:52.460 which means long live the king.

05:08:15.300 so they're singing like an iranian song um again speaking in persian and uh you know

05:08:38.420 So they're like singing and dancing and then they start chanting Javitsha.

05:09:08.420 So again, here they're saying this flower has wilted

05:09:11.220 and become a gift to the nation.

05:09:34.140 So heartbreaking.

05:09:36.400 Guys, Tucker Carlson wasn't arrested.

05:09:38.420 he was there I think to interview Huckabee okay here's another one and then

05:09:43.100 we'll go to Tusi because Tusi starting soon oh my gosh I think that's his

05:09:52.620 Mother

05:10:22.620 oh

05:10:38.140 oh my gosh

05:10:42.140 this is so difficult this is so difficult um

05:10:52.620 Welcome back to Tusi TV this is your global news channel Amaya Tusi and the Islamic Republic of

05:11:03.420 Iran have now issued a NOTAM in Iran notice to earn missions from in about four hours time four

05:11:12.140 and a half four and a half hours time and there is going to be a partial closure of the airspace

05:11:17.740 We're expecting them to do some Air Force nonsense.

05:11:23.120 We are also getting updates from the Americans.

05:11:26.900 The U.S. President Donald J. Trump has sent a massive warning to Prime Minister Starmer

05:11:33.560 on the threat from the Islamic Republic, saying that the IRGC are unstable and dangerous

05:11:40.820 and they would be hitting the United Kingdom as well as other friendly countries.

05:11:45.700 This is the whole row around the Chagas Islands, of course.

05:11:49.920 We're going to cover that as well.

05:11:51.200 And people in Iran are still out on the streets for the third night in a row.

05:11:57.040 And, of course, the IRGC forces have now decided to issue a notice of war

05:12:03.220 and, of course, alert the emergency services, as well as the Israelis have also done the same thing.

05:12:08.380 So we're going to give you guys all the update first.

05:12:10.200 Let's go to the video from Najaf Abad, where people were still out tonight.

05:12:15.700 chanting for every person that's killed a thousand of us will stand behind them let's go

05:12:30.180 look at the crowd

05:12:45.700 Now, we will discuss the NOTAM that's finished, or the NOTAM to missions, it used to be called

05:13:08.980 Airmen, but it's now Air Mission, whatever, because there will be some consequences because

05:13:15.140 The Chinese Communist Party may have angered the Islamic leadership of Iran.

05:13:20.760 The Islamic Republic president, Pez Ashgian, is not too happy with Winnie the Pooh in Beijing.

05:13:28.320 But over the last few hours, the authorities across the country in Iran

05:13:33.020 have decided to deploy more armed forces and vehicles across major cities, including Mashhad.

05:13:41.020 I'm going to show you the video from the second largest city.

05:13:45.980 This is what people on the ground film, as you can see, every corner.

05:13:51.200 You've got the IRDC military with the vehicles and everything else.

05:13:56.400 They're all armed.

05:13:58.040 And this is not even in the, well, obviously they're waiting for the Israelis and the U.S. to attack.

05:14:06.260 But they're also worried at the same time of their other enemy, which is the Iranian people, because they know that if they get hit by all sides, you've got the Americans, you've got the Israelis, then you're going to get the Iranians to come out.

05:14:18.460 It's going to be very difficult for them to be able to manage this.

05:14:21.940 I'm not really sure how they can multitask because they're going to need to have their forces in their bases and, of course, be fully active.

05:14:30.620 So that means that they will eventually have to abandon the street because they don't have enough personnel, as you saw during the uprising.

05:14:37.980 They were so desperate that they had to bring in some Arab militia proxies to help them out with the massacre of the Iranians.

05:14:47.880 In terms of what the regime are doing, they have been sending out text messages to people in Iran.

05:14:56.520 This is an example of one of the messages.

05:15:00.380 They've been sent out to all medical personnel and emergency workers warning them to be ready for a potential mass casualty situation.

05:15:12.180 Now, it is interesting because when you read this, it doesn't necessarily clarify what they mean by this.

05:15:23.240 Because people speculate saying, well, obviously this is about the war.

05:15:28.680 This is about the Americans and the Israelis hitting them.

05:15:32.420 But we also do know how crazy the IRGC leadership is.

05:15:38.180 It means that you can also have an internal conflict on the streets of Iran.

05:15:44.520 And they are just basically preparing the narrative saying that, oh, if more people die, more Iranians die, it's not our fault.

05:15:52.640 We even prepared the hospitals and suddenly the enemy came into the country and killed our people. 0.65

05:16:00.280 But the reality is that they're going to be killing the Iranians.

05:16:03.780 That's what they want to do. 0.52

05:16:05.500 So the Israelis, on the other hand, have also issued their own notice.

05:16:11.140 The emergency services across Israel have now been ordered to prepare for imminent war

05:16:17.020 as their officials are continuing to assess an imminent U.S. strike on Iran.

05:16:22.200 And, of course, they are expecting a retaliation by the IRGC.

05:16:27.560 There is also still a bit of a speculation that potentially the Islamic Republic might do a preemptive attack on Israel first if they realize that it's going to happen anyway.

05:16:40.260 If they realize, when they realize, that this is the point of no return.

05:16:45.700 And we are the narrative from the White House is that they have given the Islamic Republic two weeks, essentially till the end of February.

05:16:57.240 Now, if President Trump sticks to his words, that means he's not going to hit until March.

05:17:05.140 Right. Technically. But he has given them a notice and a deadline.

05:17:10.300 this might provoke the islamic republic to reject it now which means that the president could say

05:17:17.520 i gave them two weeks but apparently they gave they came to me quite early they said no

05:17:21.900 so let's hit them and that's the moment when the irvc might realize well we've said no to the

05:17:27.560 president we're gonna have to hit tel aviv first because we're gonna get destroyed we have to have

05:17:32.220 the upper hand now let's talk about the warning coming from the president to towards the united

05:17:37.760 Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. This is a statement that Trump sent out over the row

05:17:44.080 on the Chagos Islands. He said, I have been telling Prime Minister Keir Starmer of the

05:17:50.660 United Kingdom that leases are no good when it comes to countries and that he is making a big

05:17:56.980 mistake by entering a 100-year lease with whoever it is that is claiming right, title and interest

05:18:06.060 to Diego Garcia, strategically located in the Indian Ocean. Our relationship with the United

05:18:12.520 Kingdom is a strong and powerful one, and it has been for many years. But Prime Minister Starmer

05:18:18.800 is losing control of this important island by claims of entities never known of before,

05:18:25.640 the Mauritius. In our opinion, they are fictitious in nature. Should Iran decide

05:18:34.460 not to make a deal, which is basically the case now, it may be necessary for the United States

05:18:41.540 to use Diego Garcia and also the airfield located in Fairford in order to eradicate

05:18:49.200 a potential attack by a highly unstable and dangerous regime in Tehran. An attack that

05:18:56.740 would potentially be made on the United Kingdom as well as other friendly countries. Prime Minister

05:19:02.720 Starmer should not lose control for any reason of Diego Garcia by entering a 10 years at best 100

05:19:09.460 year lease. This land should not be taken away from the UK and if it's allowed to be it will be

05:19:16.440 a blind no it will be applied on our great ally. We will always be ready willing and be able to

05:19:23.740 fight for the UK but they have to remain strong in the face of wokeism and other problems put

05:19:30.540 before them do not give away diago garcia finishes president trump and there is a response coming

05:19:38.460 from the uk government because a lot of people thought that this is it kia starma is going to

05:19:43.820 be making the utah president trump just literally warned him that the islamic republic are going

05:19:49.020 crazy right now and they are threatening everybody including the european countries not just israel

05:19:54.060 not just the u.s bases and that also could include the united kingdom because the americans are

05:19:59.580 obviously taking off from the RAF bases in the UK. They're flying all the way

05:20:05.340 from the UK to the Middle East and obviously that means that the US bases in the UK are also

05:20:13.340 going to be a fair target. Let's quickly go back to Iran and I'm going to talk about what the

05:20:18.620 British government are doing in return in response to this warning. Abadan, of course the Islamic

05:20:26.300 terrorists of this regime have decided to raid people's homes once again this is becoming a

05:20:33.580 regular occurrence every single night they go around and they raid people's homes they check

05:20:38.620 everything that they have they check people's phones they check people houses and they attack

05:20:42.700 up their properties and let me just show you what's going on right now tonight uh today earlier

05:20:48.540 today and uh it's also been happening there's another video coming in from a couple of hours

05:20:54.460 ago after dark but you can see uh the absolute insanity this is in abaddon in the south keep

05:21:05.820 Keep watching.

05:21:24.820 Here we go.

05:21:25.820 Now this is where they are going door to door.

05:21:31.820 They took that person in.

05:21:34.820 So go to your house, they open the doors, so that they could let them in basically.

05:21:44.120 This has been going on all day and also tonight there's another video coming from a few hours

05:21:48.460 ago after dark.

05:21:53.300 Now they've gone in to check everything.

05:21:58.580 Also, the number of troops that they bring in to neighborhoods is insanity.

05:22:07.580 By the way, I just realized it's Abdanan, not Abadan.

05:22:11.580 Abdanan, it sounds similar, but it's a different city.

05:22:15.580 Abdanan has been the major hot point over the last couple of months since the uprising started.

05:22:23.580 brave people of Abdanan have been continuing to fight back and these were the guys who

05:22:28.640 two nights ago over the last three days they were the ones who decided to come back out

05:22:33.320 and of course when they came back out people in Mashhad people in Esfahan and Tehran and other

05:22:38.140 cities also decided to come out in obviously starting in Abdanan and now in terms of the

05:22:46.680 notam or the notice to air missions i i still prefer if they called it to airmen like back in

05:22:54.760 the days but they don't anymore uh but this is uh what we have from the islamic republic then

05:22:58.800 notam has now been issued by uh iran warning of rocket launches uh tomorrow so from uh 3 30

05:23:08.340 a uk time a.m so this is about four hours and uh 18 minutes to go until 1 30 p.m so what is it about

05:23:21.140 10 hours right uh they they will be highlighting a restricted airspace corridor running from iran's

05:23:29.060 southern interior up towards uh the central parts of the country and back down towards the

05:23:34.820 strait of homers it goes straight but not just towards the strait of homers it goes beyond

05:23:39.220 strait of homers into the gulf of oman and so the airspace is going to be partially closed by the

05:23:46.020 islamic republic we are expecting obviously more naval drill by the irgc in the southern parts so

05:23:55.220 this is what's happening right now obviously the u.s military are on standby in case any mistake

05:24:03.140 has uh been uh taken of course any any tiny mistake if the irgc is a drill accidentally

05:24:13.220 does something weird but uh the issue of the british government uh after president trump's

05:24:19.460 warning that the irgc might also attack the uk kia starmer's downing street have now confirmed

05:24:27.300 that britain will still proceed with the chagas islands deal despite president trump's warnings

05:24:35.380 the official statement from downing street that we have suggests the deal to secure the joint

05:24:42.020 uk-us military base on diago garcia military is crucial to the security of the uk and our key

05:24:49.700 allies and to keeping the british people safe the agreement we have reached is the only way

05:24:56.980 to guarantee the long-term future of this vital military base. Now the only way I can translate

05:25:05.060 this is that Keir Starmer's government are drunk because that statement made absolutely no sense.

05:25:12.820 So just a quick very very history right now the last few months of what we're talking about.

05:25:18.340 So you've got the Czechos Islands in the south and in the middle of nowhere

05:25:23.380 and you got the diego garcia base right there it's major now there is a random country mauritius

05:25:31.620 that's not even next to chaco's islands it's so far away mauritius backed by the chinese chinese

05:25:36.580 communist party mauritius are in the pocket of ccp in beijing they started to put pressure on

05:25:42.500 britain saying we want the islands they made it sound like they are retaking the islands

05:25:47.380 the British government said sure for the record it belonged to Britain like many

05:25:52.900 other islands around the world and it's a strategic base Britain said sure we're

05:25:59.800 gonna give it back to you you're not giving anything back to Mauritius it

05:26:03.100 never belonged to Mauritius and Trump says don't do it it's not it's not a

05:26:10.100 good idea the communist influence in the islands and Starmer said it's okay it

05:26:16.140 used to belong to us we gave it to Mauritius they're not gonna give us

05:26:20.760 money what we're gonna do we're gonna give them the islands we're gonna give

05:26:23.700 them more money so that we could lease it from them so we're gonna stay there

05:26:28.180 we're gonna rent it so you had the islands it was yours and then you

05:26:33.800 decided to give it away and give money to that country to then rent it now of

05:26:42.520 course, Starmer was in Beijing recently. Clearly, he made a promise to Xi Jinping that, don't worry,

05:26:50.820 the deal is going ahead and we're going to lose more money. We're just going to be renting it

05:26:57.140 only for 100 years. It's not really a good idea. It's not safe. And anything could happen between

05:27:04.280 now and, well, tomorrow if the deal goes through. And apparently the deal is going through anyway

05:27:10.660 And Starmer is making President Trump very, very angry.

05:27:15.680 And it's not the best time to do that.

05:27:18.680 CENTCOM, on the other hand, they also released the latest statements, Central Command, in the Middle East.

05:27:26.220 That FAA-18 Super Hornets from Striker Fighter Squadron 14 have now landed on the deck of USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea.

05:27:36.760 When launched from the carrier, the Super Hornet can go from a full stop to airborne in under three seconds.

05:27:48.420 Now, CENTCOM have been releasing these statements almost daily.

05:27:53.800 And the best way I can describe what they are doing is showing up.

05:27:58.600 They are sending a direct message every day.

05:28:00.680 We have some sort of different sort of bragging sort of situation, whether it's a video, whether it's a picture.

05:28:06.760 sending a message to the world and the islamic republic not only we are ready look at what we

05:28:12.600 have can you fight are you sure you want to fight us we got all these things what do you have little

05:28:18.680 drones you could try that and so this is the latest essentially taunting post by the americans

05:28:26.600 the the iranians are still out in naja farbad let's quickly go to the next video we have from

05:28:33.560 tonight. The uprising continues. Long live the king.

05:28:45.400 A lot of reaction here. Someone says in Persian, Khamenei Tusi, Eshka Saeed Tusi.

05:29:04.320 Yeah, it's a joke about my surname because Ali Khamenei's boyfriend, his surname is also Tusi, Saeed Tusi, not related to me.

05:29:13.320 pakistan defense force says to see looking good today my bro thank you pakistan i will die for

05:29:20.180 pakistan i will not die for pakistan if you don't know what i refer to just go on youtube and type

05:29:26.580 in i will die for pakistan you'll see what i'm talking about uh thank you randy and now let's

05:29:32.480 quickly also give a big shout out to school school children in iran especially school girls

05:29:39.140 Now, over the last couple of days, we've had schoolchildren protesting in their schools in front of the authorities and risking everything.

05:29:47.220 The next video that I'm going to show you is from today.

05:29:49.600 Schoolgirls are repping Kamenei's posters about their images, pictures from their textbooks, because obviously his face has to be in every textbook in schools.

05:30:01.900 And they are singing the anthem, My Homeland.

05:30:06.660 Let's quickly, obviously this is from back in the days of the Shah era.

05:30:12.660 This was essentially the Iran's version of Jerusalem that we have in England.

05:30:36.660 Nice.

05:30:49.660 Nice. Yeah, in case you don't know, this is a very dangerous thing to do in Iran in the middle of school.

05:30:56.660 But at the same time, these kids have been dealing with the backlash a lot.

05:31:03.660 Since 2022, when you had the Masa Amini uprising that started,

05:31:10.280 you had the Islamic Republic going into a number of schools

05:31:12.860 and using some chemical substance that made a lot of kids sick.

05:31:17.920 We also had a similar situation over the last few weeks

05:31:21.220 where they decided to go to schools and basically question a lot of kids.

05:31:25.620 Some of the kids disappeared. They got kidnapped by the IRGC.

05:31:29.060 But they're not giving up their fight, regardless of age.

05:31:33.660 People are fighting back.

05:31:35.940 The one person who is failing to fight for his own job and for his own life

05:31:40.680 is the president of the Islamic Republic, Masoud Pezashdian.

05:31:45.320 Pezashdian is not too happy with China.

05:31:49.120 Now, the Chinese Communist Party have abandoned their allies in Tehran on a financial level

05:31:54.540 because they have a big fight with the Americans.

05:31:56.980 President Trump and his trade war with the Chinese

05:32:01.180 is actually creating a bit of a problem for the Islamic regime,

05:32:05.640 which means that the Chinese communists have decided

05:32:08.780 not to fully provide financial help to their allies in Iran.

05:32:13.920 Let me show you what President Pellishkin said.

05:32:16.720 He's just moaning about China, saying,

05:32:18.500 China promised us they're going to give us finances,

05:32:21.500 but they're not doing it.

05:32:26.980 That's how it works.

05:32:56.980 He's just saying random words and what he basically says is we're so desperate we'll

05:33:09.860 talk to anybody any group and whoever wants to give us money i will sell my soul because

05:33:15.300 china have betrayed us china is not brave enough to provoke president trump just to try to save

05:33:22.980 you it's not worth it when you used to be seen as a strong ally to beijing yeah maybe right now

05:33:30.020 they don't care the islamic regime um and uh khamenei picked up the phone to

05:33:35.060 xi jinping in china uh saying uh winnie the puh can i get some money and winnie the puh said

05:33:41.860 who this new phone hung up the phone he pretended he didn't know him and when pezhikun called him

05:33:48.580 Xi Jinping said, sorry I'm washing my hair. Try again in three to five working days. It's not

05:33:54.740 working. The friendship is not working. They've already given you a lot of air defense systems,

05:33:58.900 a lot of help with radar systems. Just say thank you and just get ready to die. This is the only 0.94

05:34:04.740 option for the regime in Tehran. Having said that, more videos are coming in from Iran,

05:34:12.020 people out on the streets and this time we're going to go back to esfahan

05:34:23.300 i'm saying we are the we are the aryans we don't worship the arabs

05:34:28.660 that's one of the chances been going on for some time we are the aryan race we don't worship the

05:34:33.780 Arabs

05:35:01.780 Huge crowd, as usual.

05:35:04.340 People are not giving up the fight.

05:35:07.720 But, of course, there is always going to be consequences,

05:35:11.900 which means tomorrow we're going to have more IRGC military raiding people's homes.

05:35:16.780 Unfortunately, that is the case.

05:35:20.500 Pakistan says,

05:35:21.480 In Pakistan, we love the Shah.

05:35:23.100 He was our number one supporter in our wars against India in 1965 and 71.

05:35:28.180 there's an account called read it read the username really yeah we've reached peak to see

05:35:43.580 to see his hair has has an account now saying hi Maya why is my hair talking to me why is my hair

05:35:51.600 saying hi to me uh as an american i see all my tax dollars sitting outside iran and i think to

05:35:58.380 myself to free iran worth every penny what's probably best they're better than a better use

05:36:03.860 of american tax dollars than they're giving it to minnesota for example that's just one example

05:36:11.180 or california i guess uh no attack before the state of union at 24th of february well president

05:36:20.760 Trump has given them until the end of February, the deadline, which means that we technically,

05:36:26.620 technically, we should be expecting the fireworks in March. But you've seen these things. It could

05:36:33.200 be any moment. It could be towards the end of February. It could be tomorrow. Anything could

05:36:37.320 happen. Trump should tell Starmer, if you deliberately create a weakness, Chagos, in the

05:36:44.560 uk defense then don't expect the u.s to cover that weakness but i think the americans should just

05:36:52.340 take over the chagas islands just go and take it over what are you going to do if mauritius want

05:36:57.260 to fight the americans go on i dare you fight fight the americans even if the roman empire

05:37:03.140 was still around now they will be destroyed within 10 minutes by the american empire it's not worth

05:37:07.880 it just just and uh how is your dad prayers for him and your family he's still still alive he's

05:37:15.960 still around in tehran uh yes he's uh keeping safe staying out of trouble at this point you

05:37:22.140 might as well call it uh the republic of a brettan star yeah not bad

05:37:30.220 2c is my bro we disagree but still bros i i don't i don't have a brother i have one sister

05:37:39.420 i did say in your last podcast about sleeper cells you don't worry this is real be prepared

05:37:47.520 people no not worried uh one of those trucks had a snowflake did it i think i think it might have

05:37:56.080 been a the the riot thing that they put what is that right shield that they put in front of the

05:38:01.120 vehicles they run people over with them it's one of those things i don't know what sort of stuff

05:38:07.380 they use dmi greetings from malta university students studying international relations

05:38:12.960 aren't aware of ongoings in iran you expect university students and academics to know what's

05:38:19.740 going on in the real world what that's just crazy nonsense of course they don't know what's going on

05:38:24.200 especially those who study politics. I have no respect for anybody who goes to

05:38:29.360 university and studies politics. That is literally a waste of money and waste of

05:38:33.140 your time. Then they say well I'm interested in politics. Well get into

05:38:37.340 politics. Well I have to go study politics. Why do you have to study

05:38:40.100 politics to get into politics? This is insane. Absolute insanity. Politics is

05:38:47.360 an industry that doesn't require you to study politics at university. And then

05:38:53.120 they say okay well i'm gonna do international relations really really okay fine but they say

05:38:59.600 well we're gonna need that if i want to work for the united nations i'm like no no even if you have 0.99

05:39:05.860 a degree in history or geography you can still get that stupid job at the united nations you 0.80

05:39:11.080 don't need international relations but i'm very interested in international learn go learn about 0.91

05:39:16.600 it don't go to university you want to be interested in something learn about it everything that i

05:39:23.100 now know including my expertise area whether it's the the deep history of england or the geopolitical

05:39:31.820 history around russia the middle east or why mosquitoes are the way they are is because i

05:39:38.940 decided like a nerd to learn about it i went and found sources read books about it cross-checked

05:39:47.340 them and basically taught myself if you want to learn something go and learn you don't go to

05:39:53.660 university going to university is not for learning it's just for specialist subjects if you want to

05:39:59.620 be a doctor if you want to be a lawyer then yes you're going to go to university you're going to

05:40:03.480 need the credentials because there are certain things you can only get from universities that

05:40:09.260 was my anti-university rant a big super chat thank you very much from the united states saying

05:40:22.840 atc in bahrain it already occurred in june where aircraft reported missiles flying by them

05:40:31.120 in between iran and the u.s bases serious risk there but after a lot of things that happened in

05:40:40.400 june 2025 of course both the americans and the israelis but actually also the persian gulf

05:40:48.280 arab countries they are more prepared for any backlash than even the so-called 12-day war

05:40:55.660 but yes a million milia's download get it in the uk chart says danny i'm so proud of the iranian

05:42:03.320 Meyer. See it? Get it? Yep. Meyer. Meyer. Go U.S. if you have it. Thank you. Yes.

05:42:15.220 Almost there. Almost. Mohamed Kiyoping Starmer. That is a very, very long name for

05:42:21.180 queer Starmer. Mohamed Kiyoping Starmer just wants to give Britain away. We can't trust him

05:42:29.120 watch paint dry, let alone protect one of our strategic allies, but also protect his own country

05:42:37.200 and his own British interests. It's fascinating by the way that he decided to give away a set of

05:42:43.760 islands and then give money to the people taking the islands and then we're going to rent it from

05:42:49.520 them. It's literally the worst deal in the history of deals. President Trump once said that NAFTA was

05:42:56.960 the worst deal in the in the history of deals but i know the shakers deal is actually the worst

05:43:03.360 i hope we also send people to help train the people so it doesn't leave a power vacuum that

05:43:08.880 other terrorists take it what what do you think iran is you think iran is like syria or like iraq

05:43:16.960 is it because they're brown also some of the iranians are brown some are also white in the

05:43:22.000 north but uh what power vacuum in that's not really how it works in iran uh also there are 0.99

05:43:29.600 no terrorists the terrorists are already in charge you just need to kill the terrorists 0.92

05:43:33.520 you remove the terrorists the iranians could take back control of their country and they have the 0.99

05:43:37.600 leader who's still waiting to go back take him back let him govern let them have a democratic

05:43:44.000 referendum and they could decide whatever they want to do just like back in the day

05:43:47.760 when they used to have democracy vacuum iran was an empire ruled by emperors and a kingdom ruled

05:43:56.240 by kings now it's a country ruled by that could be any word but not for long why under iran

05:44:04.960 what is what is that word that could be anything okay you censored

05:44:10.080 to see uh spitting straight facts about university it's just a waste

05:44:13.680 ah no universities learn about the world visit library you mean teach teach about the world yeah

05:44:26.880 for sure i'm happy to have my taxes tax dollar to go to free iranian people by the way the reason

05:44:36.620 these chats come up all messed up is because youtube makes it impossible why is youtube making

05:44:43.800 impossible other people can type i don't know what's going on i have studied politics for 35

05:44:50.560 years in the pub that is the best place to learn about politics and on 2ctv uh maghba khamenei

05:44:56.780 maghba that's death to khamenei death to rat ali uh nice rupa loads comments about banning

05:45:06.240 kosher slaughter is a big deal punishing jews for the sins of others is a very dangerous form of 0.84

05:45:11.920 anti-semitism said bsy 1437 and oh was that the last one yeah and there is a couple of things

05:45:22.100 yeah that is a factual statement to see the sex god to see also they're the humble to see and as

05:45:30.160 you can as you know i'm very very humble i definitely don't have a big head it's just my

05:45:34.180 big hair. All right. Seems like the world hasn't ended yet, which means I can take a break, which

05:45:41.680 is good news. Thank you so much for watching. If you want to get more out of this channel,

05:45:47.540 become a member of 2C TV Plus by scanning the QR code or just visit 2C.TV and download the 2C TV

05:45:55.320 app. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Maya 2C and we are the media.

05:46:04.180 Oh no, he ended earlier than I thought. He ended earlier than I thought. I'm still in the middle

05:46:17.440 of eating. Okay. Let me just... Hey guys. No, 2C, why did you end so early? Okay.

05:46:34.180 Okay, so I'm still kind of in the middle of eating, and I don't want to eat on screen,

05:47:03.880 So I'm not going to sing you guys a song.

05:47:07.160 No, I'm not going to do that.

05:47:08.640 But what I'll do is I want to share what Mark Levin said a few days ago on life, liberty and Levin.

05:47:19.500 I'll be here.

05:47:20.360 I'll be here.

05:47:20.900 And then I'm going to come back with more breaking news.

05:47:23.120 And what am I eating?

05:47:24.820 I'm eating Kotlet.

05:47:27.100 I'm eating a Kotlet sandwich.

05:47:29.960 So I'm eating a Kotlet sandwich.

05:47:33.880 I'll be back in a little bit. I'm here. So we're going to replay what Mark Levin said,

05:47:39.840 because it's incredibly important. And then I'm going to come back with more breaking news coming

05:47:44.760 out of occupied Iran. Here we go, guys. Something shouldn't be. This matter of Iran

05:47:52.760 is a very, very big deal. And depending on the outcome, it could have consequences,

05:47:59.300 is either very positive or very negative for generations to come. And so it's something I'm

05:48:05.320 not going to let go of. It's something that we're going to continue to explore. And so let's dig

05:48:10.820 into this a little bit further and a little bit differently, given what we know right now. I went

05:48:15.480 back and I reread President Trump's book, The Art of the Deal. I recommend you take another look at

05:48:20.300 that book, because it kind of explains what the president is up to. You don't just jump into a

05:48:25.680 deal and make a deal, sometimes you'll walk away from it. A lot of it is like playing poker. You

05:48:31.500 don't show your hand, you don't have facial motions and so forth and so on. It's quite a

05:48:36.360 brilliant book. And that's why I think Donald Trump is a brilliant negotiator and has been

05:48:41.460 brilliant as president. That said, the Islamist regime in Iran, they have their own ideology

05:48:50.540 and their own techniques, too. So I want to get into both of these. In the end, diplomacy by

05:48:56.540 itself is not going to work. In fact, it can't work. Not because of President Trump,

05:49:03.640 but because of the Iranian regime's ideology. Let me repeat that. Diplomacy cannot work,

05:49:10.840 not because of President Trump, but because of the Iranian regime's ideology.

05:49:14.880 If the president is using diplomacy like I believe he is, like I hope he is, like I pray he is, as really a military tactic, it's genius.

05:49:27.280 But if anybody believes that diplomacy is going to work, diplomacy as diplomacy, they're dead wrong.

05:49:35.840 Now, if they have to, in their minds, the Iranian regime will wait out President Trump,

05:49:44.080 will wait out all presidents who they think are a problem.

05:49:46.880 Three years for President Trump, that's nothing to these people.

05:49:49.820 Absolutely nothing.

05:49:51.100 Their short-term goal is to avoid and delay regime change.

05:49:55.820 For the regime, delay means survival.

05:49:58.580 For our country, delay means it will be left to our children to deal with an Iranian regime

05:50:05.240 that has tens of thousands of ballistic missiles, scores and scores of nuclear warheads, and a

05:50:11.420 rebirth through consolidation of power internally and subsidies and support from China, Russia,

05:50:17.280 North Korea, and others. A utter human disaster for the Iranian people and the rest of the world,

05:50:24.740 particularly since Iran has never been weaker. Iran has never been weaker in 47 years. It has

05:50:32.960 no air force effectively it has no navy effectively as a matter of fact president reagan destroyed

05:50:39.600 their navy in about three hours most of it as a response to their attacks on one of our ships

05:50:46.960 and they have no effective ground-to-air missile systems or effective radar systems they have some

05:50:54.000 but not enough to matter really because they were eliminated in the 12-day war by the israelis

05:51:00.360 It's only going to get much more difficult and complicated as time goes on.

05:51:06.840 It's going to get worse.

05:51:09.320 And the truth is, it would be utterly irresponsible and immoral for us, this generation, we,

05:51:16.360 to leave to our children and grandchildren, the next generations, for them to deal with it.

05:51:23.480 And how are they going to deal with it as the Iranian regime builds up?

05:51:28.060 If that regime survives, it will continue slaughtering and imprisoning the Iranian people at will. It will aggressively seek to tighten control over its country. It will continue with a campaign of delay and subterfuge with our country in the West, with international organizations and so forth.

05:51:46.060 It will never abandon its nuclear program. It will never abandon its ballistic ICBM program.

05:51:51.760 In short, the Iranian regime will never surrender its very purpose for existing, to destroy us and the West.

05:51:59.760 Again, it's a 7th century barbaric Islamist regime. 0.97

05:52:04.240 It is a terror state. It is a death cult. 0.99

05:52:07.480 And it believes God is on their side.

05:52:09.800 the western mindset is simply unwilling or incapable of getting its collective head around

05:52:16.580 this for the iranian regime negotiations and diplomacy are a means to an end much like with

05:52:23.260 the communists the ends justify the means but to be clear an islamist terrorist primitive regime

05:52:30.420 with cutting-edge advanced missile systems and nuclear weapons is the worst possible combination

05:52:38.420 Any regime that is willing to murder 50,000 of its own people in a few days, and they'd be happy to murder a million of them, won't think twice before using an intercontinental ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead to attack the continental United States.

05:52:57.000 I've been saying that we need to look at North Korea as an example of what negotiations and diplomacy do when you're dealing with a regime that uses negotiations and diplomacy to their advantage.

05:53:11.600 but before we get there more on the mindset of this islamist nazi regime that we're dealing with

05:53:18.460 in american foreign policy james robbins some time ago he pointed out since the return of the

05:53:24.640 ayatollah khomeini the first from exile in 1979 in the advent of the islamic revolution

05:53:29.920 tehran has consistently stressed several ideological themes the supremacy of shia islam

05:53:35.960 particularly over the sunni sect the unity of religion government and daily life under the

05:53:40.840 Iran, the extension of its regional and global influence, and the destruction of Iran's enemies,

05:53:46.880 particularly Israel and the United States. Iran, in other words, is not just a Middle Eastern

05:53:52.560 adversary state with dreams of regional hegemony, but a revolutionary regime seeking to reshape the

05:53:59.400 region's map and the world's belief system. As such, normalizing relations with the West represents

05:54:06.440 a threat to the Iranian regime's core beliefs and mission. It will use the appearance as camouflage

05:54:11.940 of normalizing relations, but it doesn't believe in it. Iran's nuclear weapons program fits into

05:54:17.860 this same framework. It represents a symptom of Tehran's worldview, not a cause. Absent the

05:54:23.340 Islamic Republic's revolutionary aspirations, there would be no need to acquire weapons of

05:54:28.500 mass destruction, build terror networks, proselytize Shiite beliefs, or engage in any other destabilizing

05:54:34.500 actions but so long as iran remains a revisionist power it cannot be counted on to moderate its

05:54:42.260 behavior it's certainly not going to do it through some paper agreement with the united states

05:54:48.420 it hates us the most a great piece a few months back in gatestone institute paper

05:54:53.940 by majid rafazaja the islamic republic of iran is a revolutionary state deeply committed to an

05:55:01.300 an ideological mission that transcends conventional diplomacy. Its very core identity is rooted in

05:55:06.820 anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, and the goal of exporting its revolutionary ideas worldwide.

05:55:13.640 The ideological foundation is not just some negotiable policy, but an unshakable pillar of

05:55:19.100 the regime's existence. If the Islamic Republic were to abandon these principles, it would not

05:55:24.080 merely be modifying its foreign policy. It would be dismantling its own identity. The regime cannot

05:55:29.880 and will not abandon its hostility toward the united states and israel doing so would strip it

05:55:34.920 of the very ideology that justifies its rule the western dream has been that economic benefits

05:55:41.480 integration into the global system and negotiations could push iran to abandon its radical policies

05:55:47.800 and support for terror groups but iran has mostly used negotiations as a tool to buy

05:55:54.440 time secure economic relief then continue its military build-up iran's regime has never wavered

05:56:01.960 from its core mission which is to spread its revolutionary islamist ideology and challenge

05:56:07.560 the global order that it views as corrupt and dominated by the west we the united states

05:56:13.720 iran's constitution explicitly enshrines its mission to export its revolution abroad article

05:56:20.600 11 states that the government considers the continuation of the islamic revolution at home

05:56:25.840 and abroad as its duty quote unquote article 154 states that the islamic republic quote supports

05:56:33.260 the just struggles of the oppressed against the arrogant everywhere in the world this language is

05:56:39.100 not mere rhetoric it is the foundation upon which the entire state apparatus operates and he goes

05:56:45.760 on the reason iran's regime does not govern with western rational statecraft while national

05:56:52.320 interests dictate policy adjustments in response to incentives instead the islamic of republic of

05:56:59.040 iran is a revolutionary state deeply committed to an ideological mission that transcends

05:57:05.680 conventional diplomacy its very core identity is rooted in anti-americanism anti-semitism

05:57:12.560 and the goal of exporting the revolutionary ideals worldwide this ideological foundation

05:57:18.960 is not just some negotiable policy but an unshakable pillar of the regime's existence

05:57:25.120 if the islamic republic were to abandon these principles it would not merely be modifying

05:57:30.000 its foreign policy it would be dismantling its own identity the regime cannot and will not

05:57:35.360 abandon its hostility toward the united states and israel doing so would strip it of the very

05:57:40.400 ideology that justifies its rule i'm spending time on this so we understand exactly what we're

05:57:45.440 dealing with diplomacy means nothing to these people to this regime the whole point they believe

05:57:51.600 is to delay delay us so they can continue to build up i'm hoping and i believe the president's point

05:57:57.120 is the same excuse us we're building up so we can take you out because we are not going to leave you

05:58:04.400 and your missiles and your nuclear technology and all the rest to our children and grandchildren

05:58:09.280 let's dig a little deeper ready the doctrine of takia we've talked about this the sanctioned

05:58:15.600 concealment of one's belief when expression might endanger the community or its objectives in other

05:58:21.680 words the sanctioning of lying and deceiving in classical shiism takia was a religious duty under

05:58:31.440 the weight of sunni domination in the political culture of islamic republic it has evolved into

05:58:37.920 a legitimate tool of foreign policy. For decades, the West has sought to compel Iran into rational

05:58:45.660 dialogue, first through economic sanctions, then through shows of military force. But from the

05:58:51.040 standpoint of revolutionary Islamic doctrine, the greater the external pressure, the higher the

05:58:56.840 religious value of taqiyya as a God-sanctioned strategy. It is precisely under such conditions

05:59:03.200 that a concession or the promise of one can be justified not as a genuine compromise but as a

05:59:10.880 sacred means of preserving resources and buying time she goes on after the 1979 revolution's

05:59:18.140 victory came the next act the purification of the islamic republic for marxists liberals fedayeen

05:59:25.020 and dissenting clerics at this stage mashlaha no longer an abstract principle became a justification

05:59:32.880 for state violence. In his 1988 letter establishing the Expediency Council, Khomeini I declared

05:59:42.760 unequivocally that the expediency of the Islamic system was so essential that resisting it could

05:59:47.980 undermine the very mission of the religion to defend the oppressed. This was a direct theological

05:59:53.400 sanction for censorship, repression, and exception-making, so long as it preserved the

05:59:58.600 system survival. The system, meaning the regime, must survive at all costs. Hence, genocide is

06:00:06.040 justified. Takiyah was no longer a sign of weakness. It had become a technology of power

06:00:11.160 embedded in the strategic logic of the Islamic State. The system Khomeini, the current Khomeini,

06:00:18.240 has constructed is deliberately rooted in strategic ambiguity. That is, its nature is such

06:00:24.060 that commitments, at least as understood in Western diplomatic tradition, are not merely

06:00:30.500 dismissed, but fundamentally non-existent as enduring principles. Sure, we'll agree to that

06:00:36.140 when they really don't. The Islamic Republic's ideological apparatus does not so much violate

06:00:41.380 agreements as it designs them from the outset to be provisional and reversible. Negotiations,

06:00:47.340 concessions, and formal deals are not indications of compromise, but tactical maneuvers,

06:00:53.240 instruments to preserve and accumulate strength for long-term objectives. This is the core dilemma

06:01:00.240 facing the United States, Israel, and the Western allies today. Can one forge a lasting agreement

06:01:05.520 with an estate whose very structure precludes negotiability in the conventional sense? Decades

06:01:11.600 of experience suggest otherwise. Time and again, the West has misread Iran's tactical concessions

06:01:16.640 as signs of a strategic policy shift, but these gestures are not de-escalation in any meaningful

06:01:23.200 sense the Islamic Republic's governing system does not merely tolerate

06:01:27.220 ambiguity it is architected around it I talked about North Korea earlier and I

06:01:32.980 want to get to this quickly see the communist mentality and this Islamist

06:01:37.960 mentality are similar now they're different in significant ways but

06:01:40.820 they're similar to the ends justify the mean that was credited to Lenin others

06:01:47.100 have said it as well the ends justify the means paper agreements mean nothing

06:01:53.520 nothing we had these negotiations with north korea for a long long time the congressional

06:01:59.520 research service pointed out and i mentioned north korea because they have now 50 nuclear

06:02:04.480 warheads they build five or six a year and we had all kinds of negotiations and concessions

06:02:10.000 and we worked with them and we subsidized them and we funded them and we denuclearized south

06:02:15.280 korea they were supposed to denuclearize they agreed and then lied agreed and then lied and

06:02:19.920 And here they are now in nuclear power.

06:02:22.320 The United States has engaged in five major sets of formal nuclear and missile negotiations

06:02:27.380 with North Korea.

06:02:28.860 See, we've been here before.

06:02:30.840 The bilateral agreed framework, 1994 to 2002.

06:02:34.740 Bilateral missile negotiations, 1996 to 2000.

06:02:38.080 The multilateral six-party talks, 2003 to 2009.

06:02:42.820 The bilateral leap day deal, 2012.

06:02:45.460 and top-level summit meetings and letter exchanges between President Trump and North Korean leader

06:02:51.420 Un. In general, the formula for these negotiations has been for North Korea to halt and in some cases

06:02:57.680 disable its nuclear missile programs in return for economic and diplomatic incentives, including the

06:03:03.920 promise of better U.S.-North Korean relations and of a formal end to the Korean War. All five

06:03:10.020 diplomatic efforts resulted in an agreement. Two, the agreed framework. Six-party talks produced

06:03:16.620 tangible reductions in North Korea's existing capabilities. Even those achievements proved

06:03:21.740 fleeting when the two agreements eventually collapsed. Oh, we had deals with North Korea.

06:03:27.900 1985, non-proliferation agreement. 1992, joint declaration of denuclearization. 1994, U.S.-North

06:03:35.480 Korea Agreed Framework, 1999 Missile Testing Moratorium, 2005 Six-Party Talks Joint Statement,

06:03:42.780 2012 Leap Day Agreement, 2018 Singapore Summit Joint Statement, oh, weak deals, diplomacy,

06:03:49.320 negotiations, 2018 Comprehensive Military Agreement, 2024 Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

06:03:57.020 You know, we weren't alone. The UN had all kinds of resolutions against North Korea, believe it or

06:04:02.520 not all kinds of resolutions u.n security council not just the general assembly with the security

06:04:09.080 council resolution 1718 the security council resolution 1874

06:09:42.020 just read

06:09:43.540 this is just one this is one example

06:09:46.000 of the fan mail that I get

06:09:47.360 this is this must be 0.99

06:09:50.020 a troll Muslims don't speak 1.00

06:09:52.100 like that Muslims don't talk 1.00

06:09:54.060 about the holy cock of their 0.98

06:09:55.840 prophet

06:09:56.320 but you know what I posted

06:09:59.940 the message on x and i was like a message from the religion of peace happy ramadan everyone

06:10:05.860 you gross and then i know his apparently his email address didn't show up so that's

06:10:11.140 his email address there you go that's the email address 0.97

06:10:17.460 all right imagination that was a well there you go i didn't know i'm gonna walk into skull i think

06:10:24.340 oh my god what is this well you know what now you guys understand why armin and i take you know we

06:10:35.320 have to take a lot of precautions with our safety because we get these sorts of messages

06:10:39.140 oh i mean armin i don't know what you know i'm sure you get similar things probably even worse

06:10:44.800 but uh yeah like this is normal this is normal for me like i get i get so many of these every

06:10:51.480 day i just figured i would share one in honor of ramadan and now you know and now you know goldie

06:10:57.760 it's actually very interesting because if you're a woman you get these types of messages if you're

06:11:03.520 a man the messages you get a lot of them are directed at the female members of your in your

06:11:11.300 family so so if you're a woman it will be directed at you and if you're a man a lot of the threats i

06:11:17.320 get is this is what we're going to do to your mom this is what we're going to do to your sister

06:11:22.440 this is i don't have a sister this is what we're going to do to your wife this is we're going to

06:11:27.240 have to your daughter i don't have a daughter but they say this like so it's always directed at

06:11:33.720 mothers your mothers your sisters your wives and your daughters they're very like misogynistic in

06:11:40.200 that sense so there you go yes i have a feeling that they don't like the fact that i called out

06:11:46.600 charandi marandi i you know what i think this person wants i think this person just wants to

06:11:58.520 be noticed by you okay you know what he he was noticed he was noticed i think and his email

06:12:04.840 address is in the channel as well yes i think some people watch um i i really do think this

06:12:11.880 and if you're if anybody is a psychologist let me know how true this is okay i think when somebody

06:12:17.240 sees this like a woman that is strong and has a lot going for them and they feel inferior to her

06:12:26.600 they need to feel important by finding a way to get any response from them and given that they

06:12:36.280 can't get a positive response they go for a desperate attempt to get a negative response

06:12:42.840 because they feel like if i could get a reaction then i am in this woman's life and i'm important

06:12:49.640 because i made her react to something and this is from an inferiority complex i think how

06:12:57.800 no it's it's very true it's very true but the reaction for me was really funny right so i was

06:13:02.600 just like okay like i was like i have to share this like this is too insane no no i'm i'm glad

06:13:07.320 you shared it i'm glad you shared it i'm just like it's like but yeah guys i hope this is also

06:13:13.640 like a good example for for you guys to understand like why armin and i like we take extra precaution

06:13:20.520 um with like our safety our location things like that because uh the fact that we speak

06:13:26.120 out against radical islamic extremism and terrorism um it's uh yeah it's it's definitely a a threat

06:13:35.000 so there you go somebody in my chat is saying it's a marriage proposal

06:13:46.920 oh my god oh yeah maybe maybe he does suffer yeah that's the other thing like

06:13:53.480 that the pierce morgan interview was like over a month ago it was literally like a month ago um

06:14:00.440 so why is it a recent email coming now you know what someone said maybe it's him someone says like

06:14:05.960 maybe um uh maybe um it was like it was chat on the man himself

06:14:16.520 send him a ramadan card and a temper oh you know what i should send him maybe i'll send him the

06:14:21.480 video of the of the guy who's like hitting himself for imam hussein you know which video i'm talking

06:14:27.080 about oh yeah yeah yeah you know what okay that's what i'm gonna do guys okay that's what i'm gonna

06:14:33.800 do before we go to armin's updates let me just let me just share the video again okay

06:14:40.760 i'm gonna send him this video and i'm gonna say happy ramadan

06:14:51.480 you should give that to ai and put merendi instead of that guy put his face there

06:15:06.600 that's too much effort that's too much effort somebody can do that for us way too much effort

06:15:13.520 here guys here here's what i'll do um oh my gosh it's so funny

06:15:18.700 okay

06:15:21.320 wait is this the one okay

06:15:27.940 um all right let me just attach the thing here

06:15:41.760 guys i'm literally doing it i'm literally doing it

06:15:46.020 I just, I can't, I can't share the screen because I, you know, the, all the other email

06:15:51.820 addresses, I don't want to like, you know, um, I don't want to, uh, I don't want to breach

06:16:00.180 privacy, but look at this.

06:16:01.820 So, okay.

06:16:06.300 so i just sent him a response email and i took a photo of it before i sent it so this is the

06:16:18.240 most significant thing that has ever happened to this man probably like he's like oh my gosh

06:16:24.200 he saw my email and acknowledged my existence yes oh man you know honestly like i ignore i ignore

06:16:32.940 most of them but you know once in a while once in a while it's just good to have like a good laugh

06:16:36.780 right so yeah i'm allowed to laugh and troll once in a while so there you go but it's also good it's

06:16:43.900 very educational for you guys it's very educational because you can also see the kind of like insane

06:16:49.660 people that we deal with on a daily basis so it's all downhill from here nothing more significant

06:17:02.380 will ever happen in his life there you go so i literally said happy ramadan xoxoxo

06:17:09.340 and then i attached um the video file of uh of the guy who's like hitting his head yelling hussein

06:17:19.980 okay all right that's my little random update okay back to you all right i know you had a few

06:17:25.820 other updates for us so one thing in the in the discussion group that we've had we were there we

06:17:34.700 are also getting reports from israelis noticing that things are changing um israel is also having

06:17:43.660 the highest level of preparations that you could so it's not just americans moving their assets

06:17:49.660 into the region we're also seeing israel getting prepared for something by the way goldie something

06:17:54.940 funny happened in our group discussion um the israelis were upset during the 12-day war with

06:18:02.300 their government because the government work woke them up with a really loud alarm for

06:18:09.980 attacking the islamic republic with a really loud noise and they're like what the hell

06:18:18.700 wake us up if they're attacking us don't wake us up if we're attacking them

06:18:24.940 right so apparently the israel is now confirming that don't worry this time we're not going to wake

06:18:32.540 you up until they attack us so apparently it was terrifying to a lot of people and it was the most

06:18:39.020 disturbing sound they've ever heard waking up waking them up in the middle of the night

06:18:44.700 and a lot of people were angry that why did they have to wake up for israel attacking the islamic

06:18:50.700 Republic. So apparently

06:18:52.280 Israel

06:18:53.340 has listened to that feedback

06:18:56.660 and now they have

06:18:58.780 confirmed that this time they're going to wait

06:19:00.620 until the Islamic Republic.

06:19:02.600 This is the most Israeli

06:19:04.900 thing I've ever heard in my life, by the way.

06:19:07.060 And I love it. And I love

06:19:08.840 you guys. Okay, so there's that.

06:19:12.200 White House,

06:19:13.180 I don't know if you guys

06:19:14.160 played this or not when I was in here.

06:19:17.660 White House Press Secretary

06:19:19.000 Caroline Levitt

06:19:20.480 she mentioned iran twice did you guys go did you play that on like during the when i was in here

06:19:28.840 so one thing caroline oh so it's okay i played one i played i played one clip of her but i didn't

06:19:36.780 play all the clips so let's i mean okay no no we don't have to play it i will just read you the

06:19:42.160 most important thing that she said okay which is a new escalation coming from her because she's

06:19:49.920 always like yeah we want to talk we'll see what's happening um obviously we want rather peace

06:19:57.600 president trump always prefers to fix things through talking she doesn't talk and both president

06:20:04.880 trump and her have not i mean president trump just recently came out and said like yeah regime change

06:20:10.640 would be ideal so that was a huge escalation from him but now she came out and said this

06:20:17.760 so this is the official position of the white house now there are many arguments one can make

06:20:23.600 in favor of a strike against iran president trump prefers diplomacy iran will be wise to make a deal

06:20:30.640 so this coming from her is a new level of escalation um and if people know how conservative

06:20:39.040 usually uh the language coming from you know her from the white house is from the you know is they

06:20:48.000 will realize that this is like the idea of we're getting ready to do something like basically

06:20:53.200 preparing people's minds that something is about to happen okay um let me see

06:21:01.600 okay let me actually play this video that i think this is nail bunny sent me this so i think i

06:21:06.320 should share it so these are the legends of the person posted the legends of my homeland

06:21:12.800 so let's just watch this video together this is the last footage of hamid madavi

06:21:18.400 a firefighter from mashad who became a symbol of courage during the iranian protests he was filmed

06:21:23.840 repeatedly risking his life to carry wounded protesters away from security forces only to

06:21:28.960 be shot and killed his instagram reveals a character full of life joy and humor driven

06:21:34.560 by a deep love for serving his community hamid's story is the story of the iranian people those

06:21:40.320 willing to sacrifice everything for freedom he protected his community until his very last breath

06:21:46.400 share his story be his voice this is the last okay so apparently he was doing this multiple

06:21:53.600 time during the protest he kept on going back in and back in to rescue people until he was shot

06:22:00.660 all right guys if you go look at someone said in the comments um and actually i agree that

06:22:06.340 kind of sounds like princess noor's voice oh wow yeah i mean it kind of sounds like her voice

06:22:19.700 really okay i don't know let me let me check her instagram i wonder if this is from her instagram

06:22:23.940 page i don't know let me see no i don't see anything on her page maybe it's on her voice

06:22:40.740 but it kind of sounds like it though i've i've never seen her do a voiceover explanation of a

06:22:46.260 video don't usually she gives speeches and she responds to people asking her question i've never

06:22:53.380 seen her do a video where she's doing a voiceover so i mean if it is this would be the first time um

06:23:01.220 i mean first time as far as i know let me do no yeah okay so i got this video from nil bunny as

06:23:07.540 well from uh trita parsi which is the founder of nyok this is the guy who basically create

06:23:15.220 is the lobby of the islamic republic inside united states uh you may read this caption this

06:23:22.180 pointed uh treated parsi at the end of his of this democracy now interview is a vital one that needs

06:23:29.540 to be repeated the majority in iran are completely against military intervention but their voices are

06:23:36.100 not being heard in the mainstream media this is bs i'm not going to play this with bs nonsense

06:23:41.220 um where is he getting this nonsense from because it's it's one minute 20 minutes long

06:23:47.300 So one minute, 20 seconds long.

06:23:49.500 Let me just listen to it just in case.

06:23:51.980 Let's just, guys, let me know in the chat.

06:23:54.040 Is he going to provide any evidence for this nonsensical claim?

06:23:57.740 Everything we're hearing from Iran is that Iranian people want military intervention.

06:24:02.740 Everything we're hearing.

06:24:04.340 Guys, you have no idea.

06:24:05.840 I have family in Iran.

06:24:07.500 I'm hearing people wanting military intervention from people that I never expected.

06:24:14.700 Every single person that I know, all of the all of the activists that I know, they're like, oh, my God, my uncle, who was always anti-American, anti-U.S. military intervention, he's asking for U.S. military intervention.

06:24:30.180 My neighbor, who used to be always anti-American, anti-Israel, he now is asking for United States and Israel.

06:24:35.820 But we're constantly getting the last, you know, even, I mean, the people who were pro-American, pro-Israel, you expect them to want now a U.S. military intervention.

06:24:46.420 But all of them are reporting that people that the last people that they thought would be asking for American and Israeli intervention, they have even switched sides.

06:24:59.460 So let me see what Shrita Parsi, if he provides any evidence for this nonsensical claim here.

06:25:06.080 And the manner in which the sanctions have destroyed the livelihood of ordinary Iranians

06:25:10.820 have driven them to this point.

06:25:13.000 So guys, the sanctions destroying the lives of Iranians.

06:25:16.800 Let me ask you this, guys.

06:25:19.500 Would this sanction, because these types of people constantly want to blame

06:25:23.580 the fact that the Iranian people are upset with their conditions on U.S. sanctions.

06:25:28.700 Two points that you need to bring up with that.

06:25:30.800 First of all, the sanctions are the fault of the Islamic Republic

06:25:33.780 because at the end of the day, when a regime behaves this way,

06:25:38.800 you only have three options.

06:25:40.100 When a regime is causing so much supporting terrorism

06:25:45.020 and basically making everything difficult for everybody in the region

06:25:49.740 and U.S. allies and all the other countries around Iran,

06:25:54.700 there's three things you could do.

06:25:56.160 One, do nothing and let them do it. Two, military strikes. Three, sanctions.

06:26:01.100 So if you say you're against sanctions against the Islamic Republic, then you either have to be for doing nothing or military intervention.

06:26:08.700 A lot of these people who are against sanctions, they're for doing nothing.

06:26:12.580 Basically allowing a country to be the major sponsor of terror around the world and then the international community to not respond at all.

06:26:19.780 This not having sanctions is not an option for a country that for a regime that behaves like this and whatever whatever hardship that causes the Iranian people, the Islamic Republic is responsible for it, not America.

06:26:31.820 That's one. Two, there is no way to blame the sanctions for most of the hardship that the Iranian people are experiencing.

06:26:40.080 I will prove to you right now that lack of proper management by the Islamic regime is the main reason.

06:26:51.280 First of all, even Pazishkin came and admitted that.

06:26:55.420 He said that most of the economic condition problems that we're having is because not doing proper management.

06:27:02.200 So the current president even admitted that.

06:27:05.360 But two, I will even prove it to you.

06:27:07.940 Guys, what are sanctions? Sanctions mean that you cannot do trade with the international community like a normal country. That's what sanctions do, okay? Does Iran need international trade to get access to energy? Yes or no? Do they need international trade?

06:27:29.680 No, they don't need that, okay? Because they have energy right beneath them. They are one of the most oil and gas rich countries in the world, right? So are the Iranian people dealing with power cuts? Yes or no? Yes.

06:27:47.860 So the Iranian people who live in a country with the highest levels of accessible energy, which does not require trade with any other country, don't have access to energy.

06:28:03.800 They have some of the highest power cuts, electricity cuts to their homes and compared to any like only the most poor African countries will come to mind when it comes to the level of power cuts that Iran is facing and they don't have oil and gas.

06:28:21.440 okay so imagine how bad you have to be at running a country where you have the most oil and gas the

06:28:30.960 most accessible energy and your people are experiencing power cuts this has nothing to

06:28:37.680 do with sanctions because sanctions limits your ability to trade with the rest of the world

06:28:43.440 you don't need to trade with the rest of the world when it comes to energy you have the energy and

06:28:48.560 And yet your people, it's almost a miracle.

06:28:51.140 It's almost, it almost seems like it's intentional.

06:28:55.040 It can be bad management.

06:28:56.760 Even bad management doesn't cause you to run out of power when you have this much energy. 1.00

06:29:01.920 So this proves that these idiots, when they want to blame America for the hardship that 1.00

06:29:08.340 Iranian people are experiencing is because either they have no idea how the economy in 1.00

06:29:14.440 Iran works because I could go on for hours to explain to you why the vast majority of the

06:29:20.660 economic hardship that Iranian people are experiencing comes directly from the Islamic

06:29:25.160 Republic, not from the sanctions. I could go for hours. I could tell you about the destruction of

06:29:31.460 the private sector because of IRG's monopoly. I could talk to you about mismanagement. I could

06:29:36.720 talk to you about corruption. I could talk to you about so many other things, but I'm not going to

06:29:43.040 because that could be a two-hour live stream.

06:29:47.200 But just wanted to give you a little bit of a taste 1.00

06:29:51.660 for the arguments against these idiots 1.00

06:29:54.620 regarding why they want to blame America for everything. 1.00

06:29:58.860 They want to blame America and Israel for everything,

06:30:01.480 even though we Iranian people know

06:30:03.440 that the Islamic Republic is to blame, not America.

06:30:06.680 This is why one of the chants of the Iranian people

06:30:10.280 in the streets is, and he knows this,

06:30:13.040 but he wouldn't admit it, is

06:30:14.760 which translates to, this is the chant the Iranian people chant in the streets of Iran,

06:30:22.680 which translates to, our enemy is right here in Iran.

06:30:27.120 They lie to us when they tell us, our enemy is America.

06:30:33.200 That's the chant of the Iranian people.

06:30:35.200 And data, there are data collected, there are polls, there are academically collected data from inside Iran that shows that the number one favorite country of Iranians, not including Iran itself, is America.

06:30:55.780 So after Iran, the number one favorite country among Iranians is the United States of America.

06:31:03.720 so this guy might be anti-american but the iranian people are not he's not even an american citizen

06:31:10.680 he's not no i think he's like from switzerland or something he's got like a switzer swiss

06:31:16.800 citizenship like he's not an american citizen oh okay i didn't know that to this point of

06:31:24.640 desperation in which some again not a majority but a loud number of people are now calling for

06:31:31.360 this, and Reza Pallavi has become the main channel for the demand for military intervention.

06:31:36.780 And we just have 30 seconds, but Trudy Parsi, we've talked to so many allies of the protesters

06:31:43.380 who are anti-regime in Iran, but also anti-intervention.

06:31:50.320 Absolutely.

06:31:51.160 I would still say that there is a majority that are completely against intervention,

06:31:55.160 but their voices...

06:31:56.360 Evidence, evidence.

06:31:58.740 are more or less not being heard in the Iranian people are right now angry for why the intervention

06:32:05.100 some of them I mean the debate is how angry the Iranian people are regarding why the intervention

06:32:10.600 hasn't hasn't been happening earlier where is your evidence for this claim this is an extraordinary

06:32:15.860 claim that are completely against intervention but their voices are more or less not being heard in

06:32:21.980 the mainstream media and I think this is very much because of the support of certain elements

06:32:26.320 to elevate the voices.

06:32:28.100 Guys, again, yeah, exactly.

06:32:29.620 Cherto Perth, you guys know this, okay?

06:32:31.700 This is what Goldie refers to as Cherto Perth.

06:32:35.540 Poor intervention, and we're seeing exactly what we saw

06:32:38.440 during the Iraq war in which a large number

06:32:41.040 of pro-intervention Iraqi voices were paraded

06:32:45.680 through mainstream media in order to give the impression

06:32:48.860 that not only is this something that is supported

06:32:52.220 by the overwhelming majority of the Iraqi society,

06:32:54.720 but also that this is the morally right thing to do.

06:32:57.840 And I find that to be very, very questionable.

06:33:00.840 Very questionable.

06:33:02.140 Your claim is very questionable.

06:33:03.700 We have evidence for our claims.

06:33:05.160 Where is your evidence that the majority of Iranian people are against intervention?

06:33:08.720 Thank you for being with us, executive.

06:33:10.560 Guys, this is the first time I'm playing this video.

06:33:14.060 I was pretty sure he's not going to provide any evidence.

06:33:17.940 And he didn't.

06:33:19.400 I was right.

06:33:20.140 I mean, that was obvious.

06:33:21.020 Okay, so just a couple of other updates.

06:33:27.960 Some of them are similar to what I mentioned before, but as you know, guys, the massive

06:33:32.860 US military buildup is escalating.

06:33:35.720 The United States is rapidly deploying forces.

06:33:38.400 In the past couple of hours, it was exponentially increasing the deployment of forces.

06:33:44.820 Everybody, every analyst and their dog and their cat is now saying that the attack is

06:33:52.860 coming.

06:33:53.860 Okay?

06:33:54.860 Everybody, like the Islamic Republic thinks that the attack is coming, Israel thinks the

06:33:59.140 attack is coming, United States analysts, everybody.

06:34:04.140 Nothing is certain, nothing is ever certain, but I couldn't find a single, a single analyst

06:34:10.840 that will come say, like,

06:34:12.640 yeah, no, it's not going to happen.

06:34:14.080 Not going to happen.

06:34:15.040 Everybody thinks it's happening.

06:34:16.640 So if it doesn't happen,

06:34:18.160 it's going to be the most extraordinary thing

06:34:20.240 that has happened in the history of warfare.

06:34:24.640 So they have been signaling the final preparation stages

06:34:27.740 for a major military operation.

06:34:30.540 There's Air Force movements.

06:34:32.120 Guys, not even in the past 48 hours.

06:34:34.100 In the past 24 hours,

06:34:35.260 we're getting, like, 50 fighter jets coming in,

06:34:39.200 150 cargo flights were deployed it's crazy it's like it's like high the traffic is high in there

06:34:47.760 you know iran uh when it comes to the airspace around the middle east with

06:34:53.920 u.s military equipment coming from all sorts of places right uh we have reconnaissance

06:34:59.760 so it's not confirmed but you know i'm on to you insta i posted something on instagram

06:35:19.040 like there's nothing confirmed so i'm just keeping an eye on that but

06:35:24.080 it could be false i don't know it could be it could be fake news like i'm i'm just like

06:35:29.360 keeping an eye on that but anyways i just want to add that because i agree with you i think i think

06:35:33.600 big boom booms are coming i also think they're going to come sooner rather than later i don't

06:35:39.120 know i think they're going to come sooner rather than later that's just my opinion though

06:35:45.360 yeah well i mean yeah it seems like sooner rather and later seems to be the best bet right now i

06:35:51.600 mean guys everything you know we we all we're we can only deal with the information that we have

06:35:57.120 Okay. And even if the conclusion is wrong, it is still the best conclusion based on the available information right now.

06:36:05.860 Okay. So recent, by the way, guys, now we know we get, we got more information regarding the recent talks in Geneva between U.S. representatives and Araqchi, which is the, you know, the Islamic Republic foreign minister.

06:36:21.320 However, now that we're getting more and more information, it seemed like it got nothing.

06:36:29.120 And it was very interesting because the Americans are saying that the Islamic Republic side didn't

06:36:37.440 even address the red lines.

06:36:39.660 It was kind of insulting.

06:36:41.660 Let me actually read it.

06:36:44.100 The regime refused to acknowledge the US administration's red line, which includes

06:36:48.540 regime's nuclear program ballistic missiles and killing the protests they didn't even touch them

06:36:53.900 they wouldn't even discuss them like they you know it was actually embarrassing it was even

06:37:00.940 even vice president jd vance came out and said they were they were basically not even they didn't

06:37:07.420 even show enough respect to even talk about the main red lines that america wanted to discuss

06:37:13.260 they were basically talking about the deal the negotiations as if they're negotiating a completely

06:37:19.340 different deal um yes so not only it was actually very disrespectful given that they didn't even 0.97

06:37:27.500 talk like your asses came and said like you have to give us this and this and this 0.94

06:37:31.660 is it was worse than them um not meeting those conditions they didn't like for example let's say 0.99

06:37:40.620 let's say i said to you that i want uh your range of missiles to be below below 300 kilometers

06:37:47.820 it's not like the islamic republic came and said well this is what we could talk about with regards

06:37:53.180 to the missiles they didn't even touch them they were like how about we negotiate a completely

06:37:57.580 different deal that's that's how that's how bad the negotiations were right so there are requests

06:38:04.700 by the regime but the islamic republic for an additional two additional two weeks of negotiations

06:38:11.580 and a lot of people are saying that this is strictly stalling tactic to buy time to hide

06:38:17.900 military and nuclear assets from satellite surveillance so it seems now that the islamic

06:38:22.780 republic is also trying to buy time because buying time wasn't working in their favor

06:38:28.700 given that buying time right now up until this point was just working for America,

06:38:33.980 given that they needed time to bring all their military assets here.

06:38:37.660 But now that we have so much military assets in the region, the Islamic Republic also seems

06:38:46.060 to be interested in buying some time because satellite images show that they're trying to

06:38:53.740 hide their nuclear military assets and their military assets from satellite surveillance.

06:38:59.960 Like they're like, okay, it seems like they're like, okay, okay, they're going to hit us.

06:39:05.600 Let's just do this fake dance of negotiation just a little bit longer.

06:39:09.740 So we have time to hide the things that we need to hide.

06:39:12.860 By the way, guys, let me know what you think.

06:39:17.360 We have had this discussion on the Persian channel, on our Persian channel, and we didn't

06:39:23.740 we were wondering if hominy is delusional is delulu when it comes to him saying we will

06:39:31.580 sink your ship and stuff like that uh sink the the car the ussapraham lincoln or i don't know

06:39:38.380 gerald ford or whatever is he delulu or is he uh does he have a death wish like is he just like oh 0.97

06:39:47.340 okay yeah let them come and i'll just die like hussein and i'll be a martyr it's fine it's fine 0.85

06:39:53.900 let's just die okay let's just be a martyr okay is he is that what he's thinking or 0.99

06:40:01.820 or he see just saying all of this just to satisfy his base so that the base continues to fight 0.92

06:40:07.420 right all right is which one one is so option number one he's delulu he thinks that yep we're

06:40:15.740 gonna sink their ships we're gonna defeat them he genuinely believes it okay that's option number

06:40:20.220 one okay option number two is because we have a hadith apparently from muhammad which the islamic

06:40:28.620 republic sometimes advertises apparently that even if you're going to even if you're losing

06:40:33.980 you have to talk as if you're winning so maybe he's like yep we're effed we're we're going to

06:40:40.300 they're gonna f us up real good but we have to show strength and once they come and they kill me 0.57

06:40:48.700 i'll be a martyr yes fine i'll be a martyr and i'll go um i don't know with 72 huris and i'll

06:40:56.300 have fun in paradise next to muhammad okay that's option number two which is a different kind of

06:41:01.420 delulu okay so this is also delulu the the the first delulu is delulu regarding your military

06:41:08.300 as the military capability the second delulu is martyrdom delulu okay and the third option is

06:41:16.420 he knows that he's f'd um and he he also doesn't want to be a martyr but he has to

06:41:25.540 create this type of content putting out these types of messaging because if he doesn't show

06:41:32.460 strength and confidence in the strength of the Islamic republic the people on his side will

06:41:38.000 abandon ship and they will fall sooner so to keep them fighting he needs to put out that message

06:41:45.360 let me know which one uh which one do you think is it is okay in the chat third option

06:41:54.320 yeah basically third option is followers are the lulu yes okay so it's basically three types

06:41:58.960 of the lulu you're right three types of the lulu yeah so people are saying three yeah

06:42:03.920 i also think it's three i also think it's number three um all right so the white house maintains

06:42:12.640 that diplomacy is the first choice but military action is being strongly considered to protect

06:42:17.040 american american lives meanwhile the department of homeless security uh fema and the tsa are

06:42:25.280 current the tsa are currently shut down and employees are unpaid uh the white house blames

06:42:32.080 the democratic party for this accusing okay so this is a tough situation because we might be

06:42:39.280 moving into a war but now we have government shutdown to deal with as well in the united

06:42:43.680 states and this might complicate things this might complicate things by the way guys if we go into

06:42:49.520 this war given that uh trump president trump's ratings are down at the moment it would be very

06:42:58.640 damaging to him if the war doesn't go perfectly right so this is why the war needs to be done

06:43:04.000 really really well right um or else this is about his legacy by the way if by the way if the war

06:43:11.200 does if the war becomes very very is is executed very well and it frees iran and no american

06:43:19.920 soldiers die and it doesn't spread into the region then this could really be a major boost for

06:43:27.520 President Trump's ratings, but if it doesn't, then it could harm him even more, right?

06:43:33.440 So the U.S. President contacted the U.K. Prime Minister urging the U.K. to retain control

06:43:40.640 of the Diego Garcia Island base in the Indian Ocean rather than returning it to...

06:43:48.640 I don't... I have a hard time pronouncing this country. Goldie, how do you pronounce

06:43:54.160 the country that the diego garcia's uh islands belong in mauritius mauritius mauritius mauritius

06:44:04.320 mauritius the t is silent mauritius is that how you pronounce it well no so it's it's a british

06:44:11.280 indian ocean territory yes what's the country yeah mauritius mauritius 0.99

06:44:21.280 do we know why the uk is giving that away like that seems like they're so idiotic like given 0.98

06:44:29.120 that how yeah is it they're trying to be woke they're being woke right like they're like look 0.99

06:44:34.880 at us we're not being imperialist we're just giving our way yeah it's yeah this is why president

06:44:40.560 trump in that statement blamed it on wokeism this is like this is wokeism because they're like oh

06:44:47.120 we're not being imperialist apparently guys apparently not being imperialist or colonialist

06:44:53.680 means that you just give away the most strategic military territory that you have as a way to

06:45:01.520 virtue signal that is basically being this is virtue signaling one of the most strategic

06:45:07.200 military assets that you have like oh i guess we're we're not colonial so just like bye-bye

06:45:12.400 i mean you know you have enough money to be able to convince the other side that this could

06:45:16.880 that this should remain yours but you're so you're so hell-bent on actually virtue signal

06:45:23.760 to the whole world that you're just giving away one of the most strategic areas that you could

06:45:30.000 have well that was what president trump said in his um in his uh post today remember on his truth

06:45:36.640 social yes yeah yeah oh nail bunny is actually describing this very well it's called extremely

06:45:45.200 expensive virtue signaling that's the best way to describe it that i agree with that okay

06:45:50.480 i also like like there has to be some sort of

06:45:57.360 like i have to look into this but there must be some sort of safety mechanism or something because

06:46:05.200 there there is a military base on diego garcia like an american military base and so there has

06:46:11.920 to be some sort of implication implication for uh kirk starmer by the way kirk is really living up

06:46:18.080 to his first name for for the iranians in the chat you guys know no his name is kirk starmer i'm not

06:46:25.360 saying anything i'm speaking in english i'm just saying kirk's really that is that's sexist against

06:46:30.640 men for to consider that a swear word well i don't know that that's that's his name i i object okay

06:46:40.160 there's nothing wrong with here okay all i'm saying is that's his name so anyway so here starmer

06:46:48.720 is really living up to his name

06:46:54.640 but it's very weird it's very weird because there has to be some sort of international law

06:46:59.680 implication for um like a a a country that owns a territory um

06:47:07.200 trying to give away land or or like a territory to like another country when there's an american

06:47:17.920 military base on it right like it's just that's very very bizarre it's very bizarre and i think

06:47:24.100 president trump has every right to um to call it out because like the the i'm i would assume

06:47:32.020 uh and i'll look into this but just you know based off of my international law training from

06:47:36.180 like 15 years ago. Now I'm just like thinking off the top of my head trying to remember. But

06:47:40.140 there has to be some sort of agreement between the UK and the United States for them having

06:47:49.220 a military base there. And so I wonder if what's happening right now, that's true. It's spelled

06:47:57.220 k e i r you spelt it wrong it's k e i r um like there's no there's literally no way the united

06:48:05.860 states is going to allow that to happen um and i think president trump by putting out that that

06:48:12.180 truth social post he's just being polite like he's he's literally just being polite because

06:48:17.780 let's be perfectly honest um the united states can do whatever it wants to do and no one can stop them

06:48:25.220 right that that's the reality the united states can do anything and everything it wants to do

06:48:32.260 at any point for any reason and oh my god and and and no one can like no one can stop them right so

06:48:41.080 um the fact that the united states is the leader of the free world um the fact that russia and

06:48:47.920 china are hesitant to you know take over the world is literally because of the power and might of the

06:48:53.220 United States, right? So like, this isn't this isn't gloating. This isn't like sucking up to

06:48:57.760 anyone. This is the truth, right? This is literally the truth about geopolitics, right? The United

06:49:03.140 States can do anything and anything it wants to do. But, you know, thankfully, the United States

06:49:09.360 is a democratic country. And the United States is a global power that's keeping everyone else in

06:49:14.800 check. So President Trump putting that post out there on Truth Social, he's basically putting

06:49:19.860 hear star moron notice and he's basically saying what are you doing like don't be an idiot right 1.00

06:49:26.100 i don't know very stupid move no it's not a no okay maybe you guys don't have a guys okay 0.99

06:49:35.220 my apologies like i this is where like my military knowledge is like not the greatest 0.94

06:49:40.100 i know that like you don't have like a full-on base there but you guys use diego garcia

06:49:45.780 to launch military things from. So don't quote me on proper military terminology. I just know

06:49:56.540 that Diego Garcia is militarily important because you guys have things there. You have planes and

06:50:03.420 jets and boom booms there. So it would be very bad. It would be very bad if Diego Garcia was

06:50:11.440 given away that's what i mean yes launching pad okay there you go launching pad that's the correct

06:50:15.800 term that's the correct term you guys are right see i know enough i know enough to understand

06:50:21.620 the geopolitics or whatever but yeah when it comes to the military terms please don't don't

06:50:28.160 don't expect me to know the proper military terms that's armin's specialty i'm just gonna stick with

06:50:32.700 like the it's not actually my specialty is shia shia delulu um whenever i whenever i bring you

06:50:40.820 military stuff. I'm basically going and I listen to the experts and I bring their expertise here.

06:50:49.220 Yeah. No, I'm always right because someone's saying goalies aren't always. I'm always right.

06:50:55.060 I'm always right. You know what? Because I was still right. I was still right about the fact

06:50:59.380 that America is using Diego Garcia as like a base for launching things. So I'm still right.

06:51:07.620 right yes i i actually goldie when you talk about stuff that um you're trying to figure

06:51:15.540 out something that you're not don't have an expertise in i actually enjoy it a lot more

06:51:20.340 because i like to watch you go discover it like it's like it's actually a lot of fun watching you

06:51:26.580 discover it yeah thank you thank you yes you just like you just enjoy me trying to explain like

06:51:33.780 shia muslim videos and what's going on those are the most fun actually i actually like it what um

06:51:40.180 hearing it from your perspective you missed you missed the one where i was trying to explain that

06:51:45.460 the man crying because i actually didn't know why the other man went up and grabbed the microphone

06:51:52.900 right but then you explained it so yes i can't remember what explanation i gave i think i said

06:51:58.100 something like i don't know he's just having a tumor or something or like a mental breakdown

06:52:01.780 i don't know no no yeah if you ever have any sort of like you know i mean in honor of ramadan

06:52:09.460 if you have some sort of like video that you want me to translate let me know i'm happy to

06:52:14.060 translate it right now but in honor of ramadan let me tell you that dry fasting has zero benefits

06:52:22.220 unless you are unless there's a specific situation that the doctor tells you

06:52:26.760 Even if there are benefits to fasting, even if there are, that's water fasting, not dry fasting.

06:52:37.960 And Ramadan is dry fasting and it's really damaging to your health.

06:52:44.000 Another proof that Islam is insanity, it's one of the most damaging thing you could do to your body is not to drink water for long periods of time.

06:52:55.620 is the worst thing you could do to your body so this ramadan stay hydrated drink a lot of water 0.98

06:53:02.400 actually um i celebrated ramadan last night armin here let me let me um be right back i'm

06:53:08.860 going to celebrate ramadan again give me one moment by the way guys during ramadan muslims

06:53:15.840 on average gain weight they gain weight okay because they in the morning they before they

06:53:24.320 start fasting they wake up and they just eat so much just to make sure that they don't get hungry

06:53:30.860 before the sunset and then at the sunset they just eat so much because they haven't eaten all day

06:53:37.800 and they end up consuming more calories during ramazan then this is why we have the ramazan

06:53:43.420 weight gain which is crazy but yeah so you weren't here last night armin when i was like um giving a

06:53:52.340 cheers to ramazan ramadan and celebrating it so um happy ramadan cheers oh wow it's uh it's it's

07:09:26.820 i am i am a tech wizard oh yeah i'm a tech wizard

07:09:34.920 all right let's click the link in the description below choose your country and start fighting your

07:09:42.120 way to victory oh my gosh i wonder if i could play iran now it's the afternoon of april the 14th

07:09:47.600 1988 the uss samuel b roberts and oliver hazard perry class guided missile frigate is sailing

07:09:54.640 through the central persian gulf this is a dangerous time to be transiting the gulf

07:10:00.160 the iran iraq war is about to enter its seventh year and both sides have grown desperate to end

07:10:05.200 the conflict the iranian and iraqi militaries have started to bomb shipping commerce in the persian

07:10:10.480 gulf to cut off the others war economy in a conflict that has become known as the tanker war

07:10:16.320 yeah well you know what maybe maybe saddam hussein shouldn't have started the conflict in the first

07:10:20.000 place or trying to take over my country, my province of Uzistan, right?

07:10:23.920 As part of Operation Ernest Will, the Samuel B Roberts and other US Navy warships from the 7th

07:10:29.600 fleet are dispatched to the Middle East to escort tankers safely to their destinations.

07:10:35.360 The frigate is transiting the Persian Gulf when lookouts spot objects floating in the water.

07:10:40.560 They initially believe these to be dolphins, but a closer examination instead reveals magnetic

07:10:45.760 mines. Commander Paul Ryn is alerted and orders the Roberts to slowly reverse out of the minefield

07:10:51.980 at minimum speed. After 10 minutes of backing up, the ship's luck runs out. A magnetic mine

07:10:58.940 detonates directly underneath the Roberts' keel, nearly breaking the ship's back. Water gushes

07:11:04.640 through a 15-foot hole while a fire breaks out deep inside the frigate. The crew works tirelessly

07:11:10.980 throughout the night and manages to save the ship.

07:11:14.440 Miraculously, there are no fatalities and only 10 men have been wounded in the explosion.

07:11:19.900 The frigate limps into Dubai for repairs.

07:11:23.080 The following day, Navy EOD divers recover mines in the area and trace their serial numbers to Iran.

07:11:30.000 The United States has previously caught Iranian ships laying mines in the Persian Gulf

07:11:34.120 and warned Ayatollah Khomeini's government that any further attempts to disrupt shipping

07:11:39.160 will result in military action.

07:11:40.980 For US President Ronald Reagan, the mining of the Samuel B. Roberts in international waters is the final straw.

07:11:48.020 The President authorises a retaliatory strike against the Iranian military, Operation Praying Mantis.

07:11:54.880 Praying Mantis is intended as a proportionate strike to cripple the Iranians' ability to fight the tanker war.

07:12:00.840 Three surface action groups, or SAGs, from the US 7th Fleet, each comprising an amphibious assault ship and two escorts, are formed for the operation.

07:12:09.160 okay i just want to point out um something random the word sag in persian is dog so when he says

07:12:18.520 three sags i hear that as like three dogs not that i'm insulting dogs like i love dogs i love

07:12:25.080 dogs but i'm just saying calling them sags when he says like three sags i'm like oh wait is that

07:12:30.160 three dogs what's going on there um all right let's go back

07:12:35.920 Anchor War

07:12:39.780 Three surface action groups, or SAGs, from the U.S. 7th Fleet,

07:12:44.520 each comprising an amphibious assault ship and two escorts,

07:12:47.640 are formed for the operation and assigned different tasks.

07:12:51.300 SAG Bravo is to assault and destroy the Sassan and Rakesh oil platforms,

07:12:55.580 which have been used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as military bases.

07:13:00.740 SAG Charlie is to attack the Siri platform,

07:13:03.060 no sag delta will concentrate on seeking an iranian warship no no i know i know it's an

07:13:09.640 acronym but guys for us iranians it just sounds so funny it's like sag charlie sag delta sag

07:15:29.220 okay oh my gosh can i just say though i am i am so looking forward to the day

07:15:41.700 that this disgusting this disgusting um like crab flag here will no longer be associated with my 0.61

07:15:52.080 country right because this is like right and you know you know what's really frustrating for me

07:15:58.240 like remember i bought like um i bought the you know like i bought like a whole box of like

07:16:05.240 international flags or whatever um and then of course of course this is like this is this is the

07:16:13.800 garbage like ashkhali could get a fab ashkhal kim yad like unfortunately we iranians have to deal 0.92

07:16:23.880 with like this ala haakbar jihad garbage but i'm holding on to this when it first came i was like 0.98

07:16:31.720 I'm going to throw this out, right? I was like, I cannot handle this. I'm going to throw it out. 0.84

07:16:36.780 However, I'm holding on to this. I'm holding on to this piece of garbage because I want to burn 0.99

07:16:46.160 this. So I'm holding on to this garbage terrorist flag because the day that the United States goes 1.00

07:16:55.580 boom boom against the islamic regime i'm gonna burn this flag on air i'm gonna burn it on air 0.99

07:17:02.880 so i'm that's the only reason i haven't like thrown out this garbage flag right um not only 0.99

07:17:08.880 that i'm also gonna burn the flag of ballastine because why the heck why is it that ballastine 0.98

07:17:15.460 the fake fake country that never existed ballastine gets their fake jihadi flag

07:17:21.760 but we get like this

07:17:25.040 so

07:17:26.520 I'm not gonna light a

07:17:31.160 listen if I was a smoker

07:17:33.020 if I was a smoker I would light 1.00

07:17:34.980 light a cigarette off of this garbage 0.99

07:17:36.980 flag but I'm not a smoker 0.99

07:17:39.020 so we'll just have to

07:17:41.060 but yeah I'm holding on to this

07:17:47.020 I'm holding on to this so 0.97

07:17:48.260 Anyways, yeah, it just really sucks because like, you know, we have to deal with this terrorist 0.94

07:18:02.140 nonsense for 47 years, right? So anyways, there you go. The only reason, the only reason I even 0.97

07:18:07.580 have this garbage terrorist flag is because when I ordered, you know, the, all the international 0.96

07:18:14.400 flags. Unfortunately, this one was part of it. And you know, something, you know, what's really 0.98

07:18:20.780 interesting is that this, this is literally the only time in my life. And by the way, I'm holding

07:18:27.200 it upside down. So I'm holding it upside down on purpose. You know, as I'm upside down, get it done.

07:18:33.580 But this is literally the only time in my life. And I'm 40 years old. Okay. I'm turning 41 next

07:18:41.860 month. This is the first time in my life that I've actually like had in my possession an

07:18:49.700 Allah Akbar jihad flag. And it's only because I ordered the, you know, international pack of flags

07:18:58.660 or whatever. So I'm holding on to this. The only reason I'm holding on is because

07:19:03.220 this is the only flag that I'm ever going to burn. And I look forward to the day that America goes

07:19:11.160 boom boom and i get to burn this garbage flag so there you go 0.99

07:19:19.160 all right let's watch the documentary now 0.67

07:19:25.000 oh man you know what that's okay even if you even if you take a screenshot of that and you share it

07:19:31.720 because i'm holding guys i'm smart i opened uh i was holding the flag upside down so everyone

07:19:38.840 knows if you're holding it upside down there's a reason for that all right let's uh let's watch

07:19:44.080 a documentary now thank you so much carl we really appreciate that everyone put a key in the chat for

07:19:49.160 carl c8 an intense 24-hour battle unfolded in the persian gulf marking the end of one wait in april

07:19:57.100 1988 an intense 24-hour battle unfolded in the persian gulf marking the end of one era of naval

07:20:04.160 warfare and the dawn of another. This was Operation Praying Mantis, where the US Navy

07:20:10.140 clashed with the Iranian Navy in the largest surface battle since World War II. What sparked

07:20:15.800 this conflict and how did the US Navy achieve such a decisive victory? To understand this

07:20:21.360 monumental clash, we must journey back to the chaotic environment of the late 1980s.

07:20:26.720 The Iran-Iraq War was raging and the Persian Gulf had become a volatile battleground. Saddam

07:20:32.240 Hussein's unprovoked invasion of Iran had escalated into a brutal stalemate, with both

07:20:37.540 sides resorting to desperate measures, including chemical warfare and massive human wave attacks.

07:20:43.460 In September 1980, Iraq launched an unprovoked invasion of Iran. Scholars and historians continue

07:20:49.500 to debate the exact reasons why Saddam Hussein, Iraq's dictator, did this, but it was probably a

07:20:54.900 combination of things. One of the primary reasons, and what was cited by Saddam publicly, was that

07:21:00.280 did not want either country to meddle in each other's affairs for you see once the iranian

07:21:05.240 revolution of 1979 had occurred powerful extremists had taken root in iran so the reason that saddam

07:21:12.600 attacked is because he wanted the oil in khuzestan so i'm i'm from ahavaz i'm from the province of

07:21:17.320 khuzestan and uh saddam hussein has always always wanted uh the oil so um the reason that he attacked

07:21:26.040 is because when the Shah of Iran was deposed, Saddam Hussein recognized that the Islamic 0.98

07:21:33.760 regime is weak and idiotic, so he tried to take advantage of that. What Saddam Hussein was not 0.99

07:21:39.240 banking on was Iranians, even though we hate the Islamic regime, our territorial integrity is very

07:21:46.300 important to us. So what Saddam did not bank upon was the fact that Iranians would unite to fight

07:21:54.760 back against Saddam Hussein, not because we support the regime, but because we were defending

07:22:01.320 our territorial integrity, right? So that's basically what it was. In fact, when the Shah

07:22:08.140 of Iran was in power, Saddam Hussein tried threatening the Shah several times. And I don't

07:22:14.880 remember the story. If someone has a story, let me know. If there's a link to it or a video or

07:22:21.360 something. Oh yeah. A hundred percent. Same reason why he went to Kuwait. Um, like Saddam Hussein,

07:22:26.220 Saddam Hussein is garbage to all the Iraqis here. I'm sorry. Saddam Hussein garbage. I don't like 0.99

07:22:31.680 him. No Iranian likes him. We hate him. But, um, uh, during the, like when the Shah was in power,

07:22:38.580 um, there were times when Saddam Hussein tried to threaten like the Shah's, you know, power.

07:22:44.920 And I remember like there was one story where something happened. And then the Shah of Iran, just like, I think he just sent like four or five Iranian fighter fighter jets, right? The fighter jets that were, you know, that were purchased from the United States.

07:23:03.820 he sent a few of them over Iraqi airspace, right? And just the very act of flying those

07:23:14.240 Iranian fighter jets over Iraqi airspace, that was enough for Saddam Hussein to back off because

07:23:22.340 Saddam Hussein knew not to mess with the Shah of Iran. Unfortunately, when the terrorist jihadis

07:23:29.980 came to power, Saddam Hussein recognized that, you know, they were so idiotic. He was like, 1.00

07:23:35.260 okay, now there's an opportunity for me to go after, you know, the oil in Iran and get what

07:23:41.000 I want. But what he was not banking on was us Iranians rallying. So, and this is the thing,

07:23:50.920 like the jihadis and the terrorists will say that the 19, like they'll say that the Iran-Iraq war

07:23:56.240 was like a rally around the flag moment.

07:23:59.180 Absolutely not.

07:24:00.280 It was not a rally around the flag moment.

07:24:02.960 What it actually was,

07:24:04.360 was a rally around our territorial integrity moment, right?

07:24:08.300 So the reason that Iranians were fighting tooth and nail

07:24:11.740 against Saddam Hussein

07:24:12.920 is because our territorial integrity

07:24:15.200 is incredibly important to us.

07:24:16.920 And that's one of the main conditions

07:24:21.640 of our revolution right now

07:24:23.260 is anyone who wants to join the Lion and Son Revolution

07:24:25.820 you have to respect the territorial integrity of Iran because, again, that's important to us.

07:24:30.640 So I just want to point that out because that's like the reason why Iranians fought against Saddam

07:24:36.960 Hussein. It's not because we love the regime. We hate the regime. It's because we love Iran more

07:24:43.840 than we hate the regime. So because of our love for Iran, that's why we went to fight. And in fact,

07:24:50.380 even His Royal Highness, King Reza Pahlavi. Exactly. I was just about to say this. I was

07:24:56.820 just about to say this, Texas. So even the current Shah of Iran, because he's a trained fighter

07:25:01.360 pilot, he even volunteered to go to Iran and be like a fighter pilot during the Iran-Iraq war.

07:25:10.060 And, you know, Khomeini said no. And thank God, thank God the regime said no, because we know

07:25:14.460 that if he went um they would have murdered him right but but that's how important our our you

07:25:20.220 know territorial integrity is to us all right let's continue and were interested in exporting

07:25:25.520 their version of islam to the world saddam wanting iraq to remain secular and nationalist focused

07:25:31.700 did not want nine had occurred powerful extremists had taken root in iran and were interested in

07:25:37.660 exporting their version of islam to the world saddam wanting iraq to remain secular and

07:25:43.180 nationalist focused, did not want Iran stirring up trouble with Iraq's Shia minority, since he was

07:25:48.700 already having problems with Kurds and could not afford issues with the much more numerous Shia

07:25:53.460 Iraqis. By the way, by the way, the Shah of Iran actually kept the Kurds in Iraq safe. So the Shah

07:26:02.060 of Iran kept Iraqi Kurds safe from Saddam Hussein. But unfortunately, when the Shah was overthrown,

07:26:10.300 not only did it destabilize Iran, it destabilized the entire region.

07:26:15.960 Another major issue was land. In 1975, Iraq had signed what Saddam viewed as a very one-sided

07:26:22.420 agreement about a border dispute over sea access on Iraq's small coastline with Iran. During this

07:26:28.040 one-year war that preceded the agreement, Iraq's outdated military was defeated handily by Iranian

07:26:33.380 formations. Since the agreement, Iran had also not handed over land to Iraq as promised, and two

07:26:38.740 weeks before the invasion Iraqi troops forced yeah why would we hand over land when we won the war

07:26:43.980 if if if someone's fighting a war over land and you lose you don't get the land you lose the land

07:26:51.120 and then the winner takes the land possibly annex the area stipulate by the way by the way like

07:26:59.000 Iraq is a fake country and and this isn't this isn't like um an insult to Iraqis because there

07:27:05.500 are a lot of like um iraqi like assyrians and you know christians and copts and and various like

07:27:12.220 various groups in in iraq that are being like occupied by the jihadis right they're being

07:27:19.500 occupied by the jihadis because their own cultures are being subdued so like iraq is

07:27:25.500 like the borders of Iraq are fake. Here, like, I'll show you. Look at this. Like,

07:27:41.820 this is what I mean. Like, Iraq, its borders are literally 94 years old, right? The region

07:27:49.460 it's known as the cradle, the reason it's known as the cradle of civilization is because that's

07:27:54.360 where Mesopotamia was. And then eventually, eventually it was Mesopotamia. And then when

07:27:59.940 Cyrus the Great, when Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon and freed the Jews, all of that came under

07:28:05.860 the Persian empire. So for the longest time, everything, like everywhere that's Iraq,

07:28:12.000 that used to be Babylon and Mesopotamia was there, you know, after that was under the Persian empire.

07:28:18.420 So Iraq used to be part of the Persian empire. And then it was only when like the Arab Muslims came

07:28:24.040 yeah, Iraq was Iran. Absolutely. Iraq used to be Iran. And then when the Arab Muslims came,

07:28:30.160 they were able to Arabize Iraq, like the area that's now known as Iraq, but they weren't able

07:28:37.240 to Arabize Iran. But unfortunately, a lot of the minorities in Iraq are now being persecuted today,

07:28:46.420 right? So you have like the Iraqi Christians, the Iraqi Assyrians, Iraqi Kurds. Like the reason

07:28:53.040 that there's a lot of Kurds in Iraq is because Iraq used to be Iran, right? But the reason that

07:28:59.260 Iraq is like such a mess right now is because it's been taken over by that like Arab colonization

07:29:06.620 mentality. Whereas with Iran, right, because because Iran is is what's left over of the Persian

07:29:13.820 Empire, you have various cultures, various like peoples, and we're all united under our Iranian

07:29:19.620 identity. Unfortunately, in Iraq, you don't have that. Same thing in Syria. Yep. That's the reason

07:29:26.540 why Kurds in Syria are being persecuted by the Arabs, because there's like that, you know, Arab

07:29:33.500 Islamic tribal, tribal ideology or whatever, right? Like, it's just, we don't have that in

07:29:40.820 Iran. But that's why, that's why all of these minorities in other countries that are, you know,

07:29:47.780 the in the Arabized countries um now you know what I shouldn't say Arabized Islamized Islamized

07:29:55.320 that that's the proper word oh yeah Syria's fake as well I mean like like the borders of all these

07:30:02.920 other countries were created after World War I right like Syria

07:30:12.580 here i mean i don't i don't i don't know the here you go like syria is only 80 years old

07:30:20.820 syria was created in 1946 right so like the vast majority of these countries in the middle east

07:30:29.400 right it's just like

07:30:31.300 their their borders are fake the the borders were literally just drawn up by the british and the

07:30:41.060 French. And I don't I don't mean like this is this isn't like an insult to Syria or anything

07:30:51.320 like that. Right. Like I'm not I'm not insulting Syria, but I'm saying is like the borders,

07:30:56.300 the borders were just randomly drawn up by like British and French people. And it was it was

07:31:05.520 basically a result of the fall of the Ottoman Empire, because prior to World War One, all of

07:31:11.880 that was under the Ottoman Empire. So like, I'm not attacking the Syrian identity. I'm not attacking

07:31:18.240 the Iraqi identity. All I'm saying is that these countries didn't exist 100 years ago, right? They

07:31:24.840 didn't exist 100 years ago, because they used to be part of the Ottoman Empire. And then like British

07:31:30.300 and French just came and like randomly carved, you know, areas up without any like regard to

07:31:38.440 to the people there. And there you go. Now there's like a lot of issues. So anyways.

07:31:47.600 Meanwhile, Iran is literally the oldest country in the world. It's like over 3000 years old.

07:31:53.100 So anyways, just want to point that out. Okay, there's my little talk on that. So

07:31:58.880 So that's why it's really funny when, like, Saddam Hussein is like, oh, like, this land belongs to us.

07:32:04.560 No, it didn't because Iraq didn't exist 100 years ago.

07:32:08.600 So, guys, every single country in the Middle East, every single country in the Middle East except for Iran is, like, 100 years old or less.

07:32:19.800 Yes, so modern-day Iran is 200 years older than Egypt, yes.

07:32:25.960 modern day iran is 200 years older than egypt yep so that's why it's ridiculous to me like when

07:32:33.680 some like you know dictator like saddam hussein is like oh this land belongs to us i'm like what a

07:32:40.040 so there you go

07:32:45.760 the last reason for saddam to invade iran was his desire to unseat egypt as the leader of the arab

07:32:55.180 world with saddam so hell-bent on bolstering the power okay okay sorry i went on a long rant there

07:33:01.060 about like the history of middle eastern countries but that's fine let's go back and

07:33:04.520 now iraq had signed what now we can understand the audacity the audacity for like some crazy

07:33:12.100 arab person to think that iranian land belongs to him like he's psycho saddam viewed as a very

07:33:18.300 one-sided agreement about a border dispute over sea access on iraq's small coastline with iran

07:33:23.640 During this one-year war that preceded the agreement, Iraq's outdated military was defeated

07:33:28.620 handily by Iranian formations. Since the agreement, Iran had also not handed over land to Iraq as

07:33:34.280 promised, and two weeks before the invasion, Iraqi troops forcibly annexed the area stipulated as

07:33:39.660 Iraqi land in the treaty. The last reason for Saddam to invade Iran was his desire to unseat

07:33:45.180 Egypt as the leader of the Arab world. With Saddam so hell-bent on bolstering the power of the Iraqi

07:33:50.360 military, which he did to great success in the five years leading up to the invasion,

07:33:54.360 he saw Iran's weakness due to the execution, arrest, and exile of thousands of military

07:33:59.200 officers and the degradation of Western equipment from sanctions as his opportunity to strike.

07:34:04.500 With that, the Iran-Iraq war was on, but it was not the walk in the park that Saddam had thought.

07:34:09.200 Though the Iraqis had made some good progress in their invasion of Iran,

07:34:12.640 fanatical resistance, mountainous terrain, and the survival of most key Iranian equipment

07:34:17.260 in the opening salvos, slowed and then halted.

07:34:41.740 In the coming 18 months, the Iranians push back the Iraqis across the international border

07:34:46.900 and the war entered a vicious stalemate. During the stalemate that ensued, both sides looked for

07:34:52.120 ways to tip the edge of the war in each other's favor. Before long, both were using chemical

07:34:56.780 weapons against one another, as well as Iran creating ad hoc formations of fanatical volunteers

07:35:01.640 that included... Oh wait, Carl! No, Carl! Carl, do not... Listen, don't apologize. Oh my gosh.

07:35:09.760 Listen, I'm enjoying this documentary. This documentary is excellent and it's giving me

07:35:14.620 opportunity to provide commentary carl do you not remember when i used to do documentaries about iran

07:35:20.780 like i literally used to do series where i'm like you know iranians rate documentaries about iran so

07:35:26.620 please do not apologize if i'm if i'm criticizing the documentary that's not in that like that's not

07:35:33.660 a criticism of you in fact i don't know if you were here but like i shared your x page and i i

07:35:38.780 told everyone um to go follow you and i also told everyone i or i asked everyone to follow you and i

07:35:46.700 also asked everyone to show their appreciation for you by putting a k in the chat for carl so

07:35:53.340 please don't apologize if if i'm criticizing the documentary that's a documentary that's not you

07:35:59.900 so please like don't no need to apologize like this is i'm actually i'm actually really enjoying

07:36:06.300 this. I haven't watched a documentary on the Iran-Iraq war in a very, very long time. So,

07:36:14.220 oh, you were here. Okay, great. Oh, that's amazing. Yeah. No, I love this. Listen,

07:36:20.860 my spicy commentary is not a reflection of you. Listen, I have watched some of the worst

07:36:26.800 documentaries that people have recommended to me. I'm not saying this is a bad one. Like,

07:36:31.900 this is actually really good, but I've, I've seen some terrible documentaries and we watch them.

07:36:37.120 We laugh together. We comment together. Not, not like, not, um, reflection on you whatsoever. I'm

07:36:45.060 very, very grateful that you've actually sent me this documentary that we can watch together.

07:36:50.880 How about we watch it first and then comment after? How about you let me run my channel the

07:36:56.960 way that I want to. If I want to stop the documentary and comment on it, I will. And

07:37:04.280 if you don't like it, you can go watch the documentary yourself because it's available

07:37:07.360 on YouTube. How about that? Does that work for you?

07:37:19.700 Teenagers as young as 12 and men as old as 80. These new units known as the Basi were

07:37:24.540 a desperate measure by Iran to send literal human waves of poorly armed attackers to slowly

07:37:29.380 grind the Iraqis down. The tactics slowly worked, but at the cost of hundreds of thousands of

07:37:34.240 casualties. As the war continued on with no end in sight, Iraq sought to open a new front in the

07:37:39.360 war by attacking Iranian shipping and oil infrastructure in the Gulf. While attacks

07:37:43.600 started in 1980, they did not pick up until 1984, when Iraqi warplanes began targeting the central

07:37:49.680 and southern Persian Gulf instead of just the northern part. Once Iraq had expanded its war

07:37:54.800 to the entire Gulf, Iran began to respond to Iraqi attacks in kind. While Iraq mainly relied

07:38:00.360 on its air power due to being almost landlocked, Iran utilized planes, ships, thousands of improvised

07:38:06.120 fast-attack craft, and mines to wage war against Iraq. But who was Iran targeting?

07:38:11.400 Due to Iraq being almost landlocked, it relied heavily on oil pipelines throughout Kuwait,

07:38:15.580 Turkey, and Saudi Arabia to carry its oil and then embark on tankers, which could then take

07:38:20.700 the oil to market. Because of this practice, Iran began targeting increasing numbers of tankers

07:38:25.900 carrying Iraqi oil in the region, especially those leaving from Kuwait. But events on the

07:38:30.580 ground would take a turn for the worse. Oh, someone's asking if this is the same war where

07:38:35.380 Saddam invaded Kuwait. No. So that was, I think that was 1991. Was it 1991? The Gulf War? I mean,

07:38:44.220 they should have called it the Persian Gulf war, but anyways, whatever. But, um, uh, no, this,

07:38:48.380 this is, this is the Iran Iraq war. This was in the 1980s. Um, I was actually born, um, literally

07:38:54.480 in the middle of the Iran Iraq war. I was born in 1985. So, um, both my parents, especially like

07:39:01.200 my mother, um, they have like very vivid memories of, um, of the Iran Iraq war and, uh, like hearing

07:39:09.820 the, the, the sirens and, and, you know, having to like, um,

07:39:14.220 having to like hide um and try to find like you know and there's no bomb shelters there so it

07:39:19.580 was just like you know people trying to find like the best place to hide when the iraqis were like

07:39:24.860 dropping bombs on people so yeah like i actually have a lot of family members who um who passed

07:39:30.860 away during the iran iraq war for neutral shipping in the region in february 1986 iranian troops

07:39:38.860 captured the al-4 peninsula in southern iraq not only did this capture of iraqi territory cut off

07:39:44.300 iraq from the sea for good and destroy the prestige of saddam's army but it also gave

07:39:48.780 the iranians a convenient shooting platform from which to fire silkworm missiles and other weapons

07:39:54.140 at kuwaiti tankers leaving the country with near impunity due to the uptick of attacks kuwait

07:39:59.260 turned to the international community for help but who did they ask at first kuwait approached

07:40:04.540 the soviets and asked if q80 ships could be re-flagged as soviet ships and enjoy the protection

07:40:09.580 of its navy the ussr happily agreed to this measure as the soviets were always looking to

07:40:14.300 increase their presence in the middle east by any means necessary but of course the us would not

07:40:19.020 allow this to occur instead after consulting with his defense advisors president reagan declared

07:40:23.980 that the us would reflag q80 tankers under the us flag and that they would enjoy the protection of

07:40:28.940 the u.s navy for the duration of the war of course this bold statement left many questions unanswered

07:40:34.300 for the military about how, when, and where to conduct defensive operations. Navy leadership

07:40:39.660 at first wondered what the strategic objectives of such a plan could be. The President's administration

07:40:44.580 answered this question publicly, that any time a Kuwaiti vessel transited the Persian Gulf from

07:40:49.280 one end to another without incident was the definition of mission success. However, how

07:40:53.860 U.S. Navy vessels would protect themselves and now U.S. flagged vessels was still open to

07:40:58.520 interpretation and would only have those questions answered during what became known as Operation

07:41:03.380 Ernest Will. Operation Ernest Will began in July 1987, but the operation began, in earnest, on May

07:41:09.900 17th, 1987. That night, the guided missile frigate USS Stark was conducting a routine patrol in the

07:41:16.300 Persian Gulf. During this time, Operation Ernest Will had just been officially announced as going

07:41:21.360 into effect in July. For the time being, the US maintained a presence in the Middle East to deter

07:41:26.000 attacks on neutral shipping in the region, but that night, this routine patrol became anything

07:41:30.660 butt. On that fateful evening, the crew of the Stark was settling into their evening routine

07:41:35.340 of box ops and maintaining an air and surface picture of all belligerent and neutral contacts

07:41:40.080 in the area. Around 10 o'clock at night, the crew noticed an Iraqi jet take off and start heading

07:41:45.300 south towards them. However, a full-scale war was going on and Iraqi jets operated all the time,

07:41:50.900 the crew merely needed to track and report its movements. That was until it did something

07:41:54.520 different. After traveling about 50 miles, the plane made a sharp left turn. With its new course,

07:41:59.580 the plane was headed directly toward the Stark. Despite a negative response to hails and queries,

07:42:04.860 the crew did not take any other evasive action until it was too late. At around 20 miles away,

07:42:09.880 the Iraqi jet launched two Exocet missiles at the Stark. Due to a radar casualty,

07:42:14.740 it was not apparent that this had occurred. Only when a lookout visually saw the missiles two

07:42:18.980 miles away did the ship take evasive action. As the captain ordered the Stark to turn hard

07:42:23.360 to starboard to unmask her close-in weapon system, the ship took the first missile about

07:42:27.500 four seconds later. However, this missile did not detonate, but the second one 30 seconds later did.

07:42:33.280 In the ensuing inferno, 37 of her crew died and 21 were badly wounded. Firefighting efforts

07:42:39.400 lasted throughout the night and she was barely able to limp back to port in Bahrain for emergency

07:42:44.020 repairs before departing the region. While the root causes and what happened in the immediate

07:42:48.620 aftermath remain a hotly debated and controversial historical debate, its effect on US temperament

07:42:53.860 towards the war was profound though the plane that struck the stark was iraqi u.s leadership

07:42:58.820 knew that the conflict has now taken a strategic shift this was the first time that a u.s warship

07:43:03.540 had been damaged and sailors killed during the war did i catch that right was that an iraqi

07:43:11.940 ship that attacked the United States?

07:43:29.980 I didn't, I didn't realize. Oh, it was.

07:43:36.040 Go back. Okay. Let me go back. Sorry. I missed that.

07:43:38.620 sometimes i need to watch something a few times before like i absorb the information

07:43:43.600 it was it was an iraqi so it was it was an iraqi airplane but then iran got blamed

07:43:50.400 defensive operations navy leadership at first wondered what the strategic objectives of such

07:43:55.720 a plan could be the president's administration answered this question publicly that any time

07:44:00.480 a q80 vessel transited the persian gulf from one end to another without incident was the definition

07:44:05.260 of mission success. However, how U.S. Navy vessels would protect themselves and now U.S. flagged

07:44:10.740 vessels was still open to interpretation and would only have those questions answered during what

07:44:15.400 became known as Operation Earnest Will. Operation Earnest Will began in July 1987, but the

07:44:21.480 operation began in earnest on May 17, 1987. That night, the guided missile frigate USS Stark was

07:44:28.220 conducting a routine patrol in the Persian Gulf. During this time, Operation Earnest Will had just

07:44:33.140 been officially announced as going into effect in July. For the time being, the US maintained

07:44:38.020 a presence in the Middle East to deter attacks on neutral shipping in the region, but that night,

07:44:42.200 this routine patrol became anything but. On that fateful evening, the crew of the Stark was

07:44:47.280 settling into their evening routine of box ops and maintaining an air and surface picture of all

07:44:52.220 belligerent and neutral contacts in the area. Around 10 o'clock at night, the crew noticed an

07:44:56.940 Iraqi jet takeoff and start heading south towards them. However, a full-scale war was going on and

07:45:02.420 Iraqi jets operated all the time, the crew merely needed to track and report its movements. That

07:45:07.240 was until it did something different. After traveling about 50 miles, the plane made a

07:45:11.180 sharp left turn. With its new course, the plane was headed directly toward the Stark. Despite a

07:45:16.280 negative response to hails and queries, the crew did not take any other evasive action until it

07:45:20.940 was too late. At around 20 miles away, the Iraqi jet launched two Exocet missiles at the Stark.

07:45:26.780 Due to a radar casualty, it was not apparent that this had occurred. Only when a lookout

07:45:30.940 visually saw the missiles two miles away, did the ship take evasive action. As the captain

07:45:35.560 ordered the Stark to turn hard to starboard to unmask her close-in weapon system, the ship took

07:45:39.960 the first missile about four seconds later. However, this missile did not detonate, but the

07:45:44.640 second one 30 seconds later did. In the ensuing Inferno, 37 of her crew died and 21 were badly

07:45:51.260 wounded. Firefighting efforts lasted throughout the night and she was barely able to limp back

07:45:55.680 to port in Bahrain for emergency repairs before departing the region. While the root causes and

07:46:01.160 what happened in the immediate aftermath remain a hotly debated and controversial historical debate,

07:46:05.980 its effect on US temperament towards the war was profound. Though the plane that struck the Stark

07:46:10.740 was Iraqi, US leadership knew that the conflict has now taken a strategic shift. This was the

07:46:15.700 first time that a US warship had been damaged and sailors killed during the war so far. Despite the

07:46:21.020 US not condemning Iraq due to wanting to support the country with its war against Iran, the US

07:46:25.660 US still saw Iran as the more significant threat. Instead, the Reagan administration used this

07:46:31.360 tragedy to galvanize its support base in the military, but a much larger US presence was

07:46:35.780 needed to deter future acts of aggression. This set the stage for the huge military.

07:46:40.380 Okay, I just want to add something here. So, um, listen, I'm not.

07:46:48.000 Okay, how do I say this? Okay, dear Americans, dear white people who are not from the Middle

07:46:53.880 East. Okay. So let me give you like an Iranian here. So Iranian here with another pro tip for

07:47:01.080 anyone who's not from the Middle East. The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend.

07:47:08.480 Okay. Let me repeat that. The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend,

07:47:15.420 especially when you're dealing with people in the Middle East. Okay. Just because someone does not

07:47:23.860 like your enemy does not mean they're on your side. So please stop like, oh, this person doesn't

07:47:30.920 like this person. Oh, they must be your friend. No, they hate you just as much. These people like

07:47:37.400 literally, if they're not attacking you, they're fighting each other. Just ask like the Syrians in

07:47:46.800 rock ask the christians like don't please stop arming random terrorist groups just because

07:47:54.960 at some particular point in time they're fighting your enemies they're they're all terrorists they're 0.95

07:48:03.040 all terrorists there's literally no good side they're all terrorists they're all terrorists 0.86

07:48:10.480 Do not, do not arm them. Do not assume that they're your friends.

07:48:15.720 Guys, please, please. The enemy of your enemy is not your friend. So, um, like it's, it's totally

07:48:24.460 fine. It's totally fine that Ronald Reagan saw the Islamic regime as the biggest enemy. I mean,

07:48:31.520 the bigger threat, that's fine. But that doesn't mean that the Iraqis are your friends.

07:48:37.220 like why would they support why would you support the iraqis literally it's like anyways anyways

07:48:43.880 just guys and now you know military force that followed which saw the increase of the middle

07:48:54.220 east force which eventually became today's fifth fleet from a force of around seven ships to over

07:48:59.220 30. the reason for the large uptick in ships was the need to escort ships these escorts worked as

07:49:04.880 follows. Before transiting the Strait of Hormuz, ships would assemble in the Gulf of Oman to meet

07:49:10.060 with their escorts. Once communications had been established... Sorry, yeah, this is a very good

07:49:15.060 point. Like, for example, the Mujahideen. Guys, okay, another Iranian here tip, okay? Iranian

07:49:23.240 here with another pro tip for anyone who's not from the Middle East. If there's a group that's

07:49:28.980 named mojahedin. And mojahedin literally means fighters of jihad. So if there's a group that

07:49:37.360 calls themselves fighters of jihad, they're not your enemy, right? Sorry, sorry, they're not your

07:49:45.280 friends. So if there's a group, if there's a group that calls themselves soldiers of jihad,

07:49:51.080 they're not your friends they are your enemy right you hear mujahideen you run you hear

07:50:00.440 mujahideen you boom boom them mujahideen boom boom right away soldiers of jihad fighters of

07:50:07.640 jihad you boom boom them boom boom because that jihad when they're talking about jihad

07:50:15.140 they're talking about you right they want to jihad you do not do not support any group any group

07:50:23.860 that calls themselves fighters of jihad or soldiers of jihad right

07:50:30.760 just you know just just a pro tip just a pro tip right because people who support jihad

07:50:38.560 are not your friends they might be fighting the same enemy you are

07:50:43.380 but they're not your friends. So just jihad soldiers. Oh, okay. Fighters. Okay. So

07:50:52.860 okay. You know what? Fair point. Okay. So mojahedin, jihad soldiers. There you go.

07:51:03.200 Jihad soldiers, jihadi soldiers, jihadi soldiers. Mojahedin means Durka Durka,

07:51:08.600 Allah Akbar Jihad soldiers. So any group, any group that has the name Mujahideen in them,

07:51:15.080 they're a terrorist group, they're anti-American, and they want to murder you. Yeah. So, so Mujahideen, 0.98

07:51:21.620 not your friend. And that's why we Iranians don't like the M-E-K because the M-E-K, the M,

07:51:29.520 the M in M-E-K literally stands for Mujahideen, which means Jihadi soldiers. There you go.

07:51:38.600 all right let's continue and everyone knew the plan the convoy would then head north through

07:51:47.960 the strait of hormuz and into the gulf to whichever port they were going to on the return trip escorts

07:51:53.220 inside the gulf would then assemble the ships and took them back the way they came and while this

07:51:57.520 sounds simple enough it was anything but as the very first u.s convoy proved on july 22nd 1987

07:52:03.720 the first convoy of Ernest Will left to head north. Consisting of three warships and two

07:52:08.860 tankers, including the 400,000 ton former Q80 tanker renamed the Bridgeton, the trip seemed

07:52:14.420 to be going all right until the convoy just left the Straits of Hormuz. Just north of this choke

07:52:19.060 point, as the Bridgeton's captain described it, a giant shudder rocked the whole ship,

07:52:23.280 an impressive feat for such a large vessel. After taking stock of what happened, it soon

07:52:27.820 became apparent that the Bridgeton had struck a mine and had a 15-foot hole in a hull. Fortunately,

07:52:32.860 the Bridgeton was heading north and was therefore empty and not loaded down with crude oil. Once

07:52:37.880 this happened, the protectors in the convoy became protected and all changed course to be behind the

07:52:43.040 Bridgeton. With very little mine warfare capabilities, this convoy was a sitting duck

07:52:47.760 and the Iranians knew it. Fortunately, no further attacks happened and the ships got to port in Kuwait,

07:52:53.220 but there was just one problem. Though it was very clear the Bridgeton had struck a mine,

07:52:57.180 it was not clear whose it was. Even though Iraq claimed through both official channels and backdoor

07:53:01.820 conversations that they were not mining the gulf suspicion fell squarely on iran however with the

07:53:06.940 regime claiming they had not done so and with no evidence to the contrary the us could not blame

07:53:11.580 iran then however this attack greatly altered the course of the operation after the bridgeton was

07:53:16.860 hit the us navy really focused on hunting mines in the region as part of these efforts the navy

07:53:22.300 recommissioned five retired mine sweepers back in do do we know who it was can someone give me a

07:53:29.420 spoiler were the were the mines from the regime like were the mines from the

07:53:35.240 Islamic regime or were they from from Iraq

07:53:49.360 they were from the Islamic regime they were I drew say I don't know I I

07:53:54.180 legitimately don't know it was the regime okay so major saying it was the

07:53:58.600 regime. Okay. I mean, that makes sense. I mean, they're, they're savage terrorists, right? So

07:54:02.880 geez. No, wait, someone's saying Iraqis.

07:54:14.120 Iran. Okay. I don't know, man.

07:54:19.440 oh oh now you're not sure okay

07:54:28.700 just teasing um no it seems like it was the regime honestly that makes sense because the

07:54:40.300 islamic regime is savage and i mean they're known for like you know war crimes right so

07:54:45.460 So, yeah, yeah, that's the thing.

07:54:48.160 Like, Iraq didn't really have a navy, right?

07:54:50.180 And, you know, at that time, like, you know, in the 80s, the regime was still.

07:54:58.900 So they used kids even during even so even during the Iran-Iraq war, they actually used child soldiers to detonate landmines.

07:55:09.200 Yeah, they would, they would like, they would brainwash young children and, you know, train them to become like jihadi, whatever.

07:55:17.980 And they would put green, green or red headbands on them.

07:55:21.480 They would put like a key around their neck and send them out like they had.

07:55:25.440 Yeah, child soldiers.

07:55:26.700 The Islamic regime used child soldiers.

07:55:28.320 I actually have several extended family members who were used as child soldiers and lost their lives.

07:55:36.740 Yeah.

07:55:36.980 so i i know of at least one one in my uh direct immediate family who was recruited forcefully by

07:55:46.200 the islamic regime and converted into a child soldier and he lost his life um detonating a mine 0.89

07:55:52.840 yeah yeah a bunch of savages like the islamic regime is literally savages so

07:55:59.420 in the service and flew in another eight ch-53c stallions which are helicopters designed to hunt

07:56:06.960 mines the navy also increased the number of helicopters on deployed ships in the region

07:56:11.240 that could carry mine detecting arrays and also added army special forces and seal teams to help

07:56:16.740 board mine laying vessels and if that were not enough the navy created two floating helicopter

07:56:21.700 bases after being denied basing rights to have 24-7 helicopter coverage in the region

07:56:26.920 With all of these assets in the region, it was only a matter of time until the US caught Iran

07:56:31.200 in the act of laying mines, and that came in September. Late that evening around a shallow

07:56:36.220 shipping channel northeast of Bahrain, a US ship was on a routine patrol when her crew spotted

07:56:41.040 something odd through night vision goggles. In the distance, they saw what looked like a fishing

07:56:45.260 trawler suddenly turn all its lights off. Then the crew could clearly see that people on deck

07:56:50.160 were preparing mines to be thrown over the side. With this visual sighting of mine laying in the

07:56:54.780 act, the crew quickly launched two US Army MH-6 helicopters flown by Special Forces Warrant

07:57:00.100 Officers whose sole mission was to hunt down mine-laying ships. Once airborne, the two Helos

07:57:04.920 quickly fell on their prey. As the crew were still actively throwing mines into the water,

07:57:09.120 the helicopters opened fire with their miniguns. Once the Helos had made their first pass,

07:57:13.740 they made another, this time firing their 3.75-inch rocket pods filled with Fletcher darts

07:57:18.880 that pierced through flesh and steel like it was nothing. As the helicopters made their second pass,

07:57:24.040 the crew on board the ship could clearly see the other crew jumping into the water to save their

07:57:28.340 lives. But instead of boarding an unknown hostile vessel at night, higher headquarters had the

07:57:33.100 sailors stand by until a SEAL team could be brought to the area and conduct the boarding

07:57:37.200 in the morning. What they found helped set the stage for what was to come that following spring.

07:57:42.180 Once aboard the vessel, the SEALs found out that the ship was an Iranian-flagged vessel called the

07:57:46.460 Iran-Ajir. Besides plucking both dead and alive Iranian crew from the ship and the waters around

07:57:51.760 it, the SEALs discovered a critical clue that poked a giant hole in everything Iran had been

07:57:56.440 saying about mining. On deck, the hapless crew had abandoned nine naval mines in various stages

07:58:02.020 of being armed. The serial numbers and lot numbers on the mines proved they were of Iranian origin.

07:58:07.520 But despite this damning evidence, the Reagan administration decided that they still needed

07:58:11.440 to show some more restraint. That was until another event a month later. After Iran had

07:58:16.980 captured the Al-4 Peninsula, they began regularly targeting vessels leaving Kuwait with silkworm

07:58:21.900 missiles. On October 15, 1987, a previously escorted US-flagged supertanker called the

07:58:28.880 Sea Isle City was getting underway from Kuwait. Once in open ocean, she would then meet up with

07:58:33.920 their American escort ships to transit the Persian Gulf, but she would not make it there.

07:58:38.480 As the Sea Isle City was just getting out of port, she was hit in her bridge by an Iranian

07:58:42.740 Silkworm missile. The blast blinded the ship's captain and wounded 18 other crew members.

07:58:47.960 Once the word got out about the attack, Reagan finally decided that action must be taken but

07:58:53.020 wanted a limited-scale attack. This event would be codenamed Operation Nimble Archer.

07:58:58.580 In trying to decide the target for the attack, the US chose a derelict oil platform in the

07:59:03.080 southern Persian Gulf. But why would the US pick such a target? Because Iran's naval capability

07:59:08.000 was limited. The Revolutionary Guard Corps and Navy worked together to man derelict oil and

07:59:13.000 natural gas platforms throughout the Gulf. These platforms were bristling with radars,

07:59:17.480 communication equipment, and air defense systems to track all shipping in the region and shoot

07:59:22.200 down Iraqi aircraft. The information gleaned from these lookout stations would be passed along to

07:59:26.920 shore-based missile sites that were firing at merchant vessels. Reagan, on advice from the

07:59:31.700 Joint Chiefs of Staff, decided on a limited operation to destroy one of these lookout

07:59:35.980 outposts to send a message to stop doing this. The task force assembled for the mission included

07:59:41.100 six U.S. warships and accompanying air cover. Their orders were to go up to the platform,

07:59:45.920 give the Iranians time to evacuate, and then destroy it with naval gunfire.

07:59:50.060 But the plan didn't exactly go that way. As the Americans came up to the platform,

07:59:54.100 the Iranians heeded the radio warning and left. Once the U.S. ships saw the Iranians leave,

07:59:58.860 they began firing high-explosive shells. However, after more than a thousand rounds,

08:00:02.960 the platform remained standing. To finish the job, a squad of explosive ordnance disposal

08:00:07.600 technicians boarded the platform, packed it with explosive charges, and set it off. In the words

08:00:12.720 of one officer who witnessed the event, the platform simply disappeared in the massive

08:00:16.960 explosion. After Operation Nimble Archer, things began to quiet down for a bit. Though Iranian

08:00:22.080 attacks on US ships stopped, Iran continued to up its attacks against other neutral shipping.

08:00:27.040 As a result, the convoys began to get bigger and bigger as sometimes dozens of unaligned vessels

08:00:31.920 forced their way into U.S. formations to be protected against Iranian attacks. This environment

08:00:37.080 of fear is where the U.S. found itself until that fateful day of April 14, 1988, which would be the

08:00:42.860 event that set in motion Operation Praying Mantis. On that fateful day, the guided missile frigate

08:00:48.380 Samuel B. Roberts was steaming in a southerly direction when, all of a sudden, one of her

08:00:52.940 lookouts spotted something off her bow. Unsure exactly what it was, the ship slackened her speed

08:00:57.940 and inched closer to investigate due to the fact that many merchants shipped live animals in the

08:01:02.800 area and frequently threw dead ones overboard the crew at first thought the object might be a dead

08:01:07.320 sheep or goat however as the am i really seeing like an image of a goat

08:01:15.580 No. Why?

08:01:37.980 So they were transporting goats but oh my gosh that's so awkward like we're we're never

08:01:53.440 gonna like hear the end of the goat jokes now oh my gosh like come on really?

08:02:07.980 oh my gosh that's um hey

08:02:17.700 the poor gods the poor gods oh my gosh i i could make so many jokes right now i could make so many

08:02:34.260 jokes, I could make so many comments,

08:02:36.060 I'm not gonna do it.

08:02:37.940 Yeah, I agree with

08:02:39.420 Bug, Bug,

08:02:41.840 Bugelge. With Bagel J.

08:02:43.980 I agree with Bagel J. This is bad.

08:02:47.000 This is bad.

08:02:50.520 Guys, we're

08:02:51.980 watching a military video where it's

08:02:54.000 goats versus the United States.

08:03:00.780 It's literally,

08:03:01.700 it's literally goats versus

08:03:03.640 the United States. No, like, why?

08:03:16.520 Why?

08:03:24.680 This comment wins it. Scapegoat. Yep, scapegoat. This, this comment wins.

08:03:33.640 guys I'm sorry um imagine taking like a screenshot of this and sharing this

08:03:41.400 without context you're like what America's America's fighting a war with

08:03:46.520 goats they were just kidding around goat smuggling go to the splits I don't know

08:04:00.940 i don't know i don't know it's just please like honestly it's just like like but but guys this

08:04:09.420 this image this this this screenshot right here looks like the united states is going to war with

08:04:15.020 goats oh my god oh my gosh okay i just i kind of wish they'd use better um graphics here but

08:04:29.260 all right okay i'll go back so we can hear what they say about the goats this environment of fear

08:04:34.700 is where the u.s found itself until that fateful day of april 14th 1988 which would be the event

08:04:40.220 that set in motion operation praying mantis on that fateful day the guided missile frigate samuel

08:04:45.900 b roberts was steaming in a southerly direction when all of a sudden one of her lookouts spotted

08:04:50.940 something off her bow unsure exactly what it was the ship slackened her speed and inched closer to

08:04:56.300 investigate due to the fact that many merchants shipped live animals in the area and frequently

08:05:00.940 threw dead ones overboard the crew at first thought the object might be a dead sheep or goat

08:05:05.580 however as the sammy b as she was affectionately known got closer the crew realized they were in

08:05:10.540 fact in a minefield knowing that the best course of action was to reverse the way they came the

08:05:15.500 captain ordered the sammy b to slowly back out of the minefield however as she did so a terrible

08:05:20.620 explosion rocked the ship unknown to the crew a 25 foot hole was now in the bottom of the ship

08:05:26.300 The blast had actually broken the ship in half and knocked its engines off their mounts.

08:05:30.400 What happened next is the stuff of damage control legend.

08:05:33.840 To save the ship, the crew literally held it together with cables to keep the two halves

08:05:37.780 together.

08:05:38.520 The engineers valiantly kept power on throughout the ship the whole time, and the ship had

08:05:42.780 its entire combat system suite ready to fire against any other Iranian threats.

08:05:47.320 Though 10 sailors were wounded in the blast, the ship managed to make it to Bahrain under

08:05:51.420 her own power.

08:05:52.640 But how did the US know it was an Iranian mine that Sammy B struck?

08:05:55.780 In the days after the incident, Iranian vessels began searching for mines to pluck out of the

08:06:00.600 water before the Americans could find them. However, they were not good enough since the

08:06:04.480 US was still able to send teams that collected several mines in the area. The serial numbers

08:06:09.160 and make of these mines matched the ones recovered from the Iran-Azhar the previous fall.

08:06:13.740 With clear concrete proof that these had been Iranian mines, the US knew that something drastic

08:06:18.180 had to be done. And what the Reagan administration decided to do next set the two countries on a

08:06:23.260 collision course for a fight. As soon as the president got confirmation that Iran had been

08:06:27.420 the culprit in this most recent attack, he assembled his defense team at Camp David to

08:06:31.960 come up with a plan. During initial conversations, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral

08:06:36.280 Crowe, proposed that the US sink an Iranian warship. The one he had in mind was the Iranian

08:06:41.200 frigate Sabalan. Commanded by an Iranian officer nicknamed Captain Nasty, the ship was famous for

08:06:46.980 forcing merchant vessels to stop searching the ship captain nasty what okay can i just say

08:06:55.720 something dear americans like right there like right there like when when when like you guys

08:07:02.580 were not you you know you per se but like your government when i say you i'm referring to your

08:07:07.920 government like back then when like the the government your government noticed that that

08:07:14.460 the regime was like putting mines everywhere honestly that's what you guys should have just

08:07:19.840 boom boomed you should just boom boomed the regime then but that's fine that's fine but

08:07:25.560 apparently now there's someone now there's someone named captain nasty did i did i hear that properly

08:07:32.500 and during initial conversations chairman of the joint chiefs of staff admiral crow

08:07:37.000 proposed that the u.s sink an iranian warship the one he had in mind was the iranian frigate sabalan

08:07:42.520 commanded by an Iranian officer

08:07:44.480 nicknamed Captain Nasty

08:07:45.960 the ship was

08:07:46.780 Captain Nasty

08:07:57.820 who was

08:08:08.060 okay who was Captain Nasty though

08:08:10.220 okay guys we need to go on a mission we need to we need to find out who captain nasty was

08:08:19.840 i'm sure he was nasty because they all are like they're they're like they should have called him 0.99

08:08:25.060 captain like disgusting nasty whatever but that's hilarious um oh this is disgusting the islamic 0.97

08:08:35.680 regime named their ship Rostam Khotu Sadatun. Oh, I see. Okay. So it was, it was like Rostam 0.98

08:08:47.360 before, before the Islamic revolution, right? Oh, guys. Okay. Can I just say something like

08:08:58.160 this like this is how patriotic our shah was so so so this this ship um was commissioned in 1972

08:09:07.520 and it was originally named rostam after um an iranian legendary hero right like rostam

08:09:16.180 rostam is like the iranian version of hercules okay so you know like you know hercules was very

08:09:21.140 strong and powerful and things like that so our like we have an iranian version um and his like

08:09:27.760 the iranian version is named rostam so you know under the shah under the you know imperial army

08:09:33.500 of iran um the ship was named rostam a legendary hero in the shahnameh after the islamic revolution

08:09:42.000 the durka durka alaha akbar jihadis were named it to like sabalon which is like a mountain you know

08:09:48.260 fine whatever but you know what actually i'm glad that they renamed it because rostam rostam is like

08:09:55.640 you know, a name that's very sacred to us. Right. And it would be just like disgraceful for the

08:10:01.580 regime to like, you know, keep that name because Rostam is a very like nationalistic identity

08:10:07.680 thing. But guys, this is also, can I just say like, this is another very good example. As Armin

08:10:12.860 would say, if Armin was here, he would say this. Guys, this is very educational. You know why this

08:10:18.940 is educational? Because, you know, we've been telling you that the Islamic regime has been

08:10:24.320 trying to erase our identity. They have renamed streets. They've renamed statues. They've renamed

08:10:32.540 universities. Like anything and everything you can think of, they literally renamed everything

08:10:37.600 in order to try and erase our identity. So even ships were renamed, right?

08:10:45.700 All right, let's find Captain Nasty.

08:10:51.880 During the Iran-Iraq war, the warship became infamous.

08:10:57.640 Sabalon's captain would often...

08:10:59.700 Oh, okay, so here's a go.

08:11:03.520 The warship became infamous for attacks against crews of unarmed and often neutral tankers and other merchant ships.

08:11:12.280 Before these attacks, Sabolun's captain would often board the ships and pretend to carry out a friendly inspection, sometimes even dying. 0.96

08:11:21.400 Yeah, guys, this is why you do not trust Muslim terrorists, right?

08:11:27.380 Like, I don't know how else I'm supposed to tell this to you. 0.98

08:11:29.860 You don't negotiate with terrorists.

08:11:32.440 You don't trust them.

08:11:34.600 Don't let them into your country.

08:11:36.400 Don't let them into your boats.

08:11:37.740 Don't let them into your house, right?

08:11:39.220 like he would literally eat with them and then he would open fire on the ship 0.90

08:11:44.980 and then and then he would radio his victims have a nice day like what a psycho what what what a 0.96

08:11:52.460 psycho what did he look like let's find a picture of this psycho oh abdullah manabi 0.94

08:12:05.480 Oh, you guys, you guys always feathered me. 0.98

08:12:09.980 Okay, let me find a picture of this, like, psycho. 0.96

08:12:11.960 Look at this guy. 0.94

08:12:39.120 No wonder

08:12:40.860 No wonder he was called Captain Nasty. 0.95

08:12:44.460 Like, everything about him is nasty.

08:12:53.200 You guys don't want to know what Abdullah means in Persian anyway.

08:12:59.640 Abdul.

08:13:04.420 What a psych...

08:13:05.440 Guys, please.

08:13:06.620 Americans, please, please.

08:13:08.020 This is why we're telling you, do not trust the Islamic regime.

08:13:13.440 Do not trust terrorists, right?

08:13:17.280 You cannot negotiate with terrorists.

08:13:20.480 You cannot negotiate with the Islamic regime.

08:13:25.120 And I don't understand why it's taken 47 years, 47 years, for the American administration to figure that out.

08:13:34.020 Now, thankfully, thank God, thank God, not Allah, we don't care about Allah, thank, you know, Ahura Mazda, thank Yazdan, thank, you know, every single God, whatever name you want to call God.

08:13:46.960 If you don't believe in God, you know, thank the universe, karma, whatever.

08:13:52.660 Thank whoever, flying spaghetti monster, that the current U.S. administration has finally recognized that you cannot negotiate with terrorists. 0.99

08:16:29.200 All right.

08:16:33.580 It's famous for forcing merchant vessels to stop searching the ship and then shooting

08:16:38.120 up the bridge. Oh, we just said that. I just said that in Wikipedia. We just looked it up.

08:16:44.180 They called him Captain Nasty because he would murder innocent ships.

08:16:49.660 No, I think Captain Nasty is dead. 0.99

08:16:53.300 I hope he's dead, 1.00

08:16:54.260 Khabar Margesh. 1.00

08:16:55.600 I'm pretty sure he's dead

08:17:02.420 because he was already old

08:17:03.780 like 40 years ago, so.

08:17:10.480 I'm pretty sure...

08:17:11.520 Oh!

08:17:12.800 He's not dead yet?

08:17:15.080 What?

08:17:15.540 captain nasty is still alive wait someone's saying he's dead

08:17:22.800 is he alive or is he dead we don't know 0.51

08:17:32.760 captain nasty sounds like a stripper name i'm just saying like why why why why why would

08:17:41.520 okay we need confirmation someone needs to find out if he's alive or dead

08:17:48.620 okay someone let me know staff admiral crow proposed that the u.s sink an iranian warship

08:18:00.000 the one he had in mind was the iranian frigate sabalan commanded by an iranian officer nicknamed

08:18:05.440 captain nasty the ship was famous for forcing merchant vessels to stop searching the ship

08:18:10.180 and then shooting up the bridge and other parts of the ship with gunfire.

08:18:13.540 Before leaving, Captain Nasty would tell the merchants to have a nice day.

08:18:17.380 However, Captain Nasty would have Lady Luck on his side,

08:18:20.280 as the other members in the room talked Reagan out of doing this.

08:18:23.340 Instead, the course of action chosen for the operation

08:18:25.720 would be to eliminate the Sasan and Ciri platforms.

08:18:29.100 But President Reagan gave a strict caveat.

08:18:31.640 If the Iranian Navy dared venture to meet US ships, they could sink them.

08:18:35.460 With that, Operation Praying Mantis was a go.

08:18:38.520 As far as how to conduct the operation, the Middle East Force commander divided his nine

08:18:42.800 ships into three surface action groups, or SAGs. Each SAG was given a specific task.

08:18:48.640 SAG Bravo was in charge of destroying the Sassan platform, SAG Charlie was to eliminate the Siri

08:18:53.380 platform, and SAG Delta was to hang back and defend against any Iranian ships that

08:18:57.960 sorted out of port to meet the US force. The attack on the Sassan platform at 6 o'clock

08:19:02.800 that morning kicked off the day's events. After breakfast, US sailors went to general

08:19:07.340 quarters at 7 o'clock in preparation for the attack. Once the ships were all manned and ready

08:19:12.060 for battle, the Americans broadcast a warning over the radio in both English and Farsi that in 30

08:19:17.520 minutes, the platform would be blown up. With that warning, there was a flurry of activity on the

08:19:22.180 platform. The US sailors could hear the Iranians frantically calling back to Tehran, asking for

08:19:26.860 orders. They begged the Americans for more time, but they refused. At 8.04 a.m., 30 minutes on the

08:19:32.700 dot, US ships began lobbing 5-inch airburst rounds into the platform. The very first round

08:19:38.040 that hit the platform struck just above the ZSU anti-air gun the Iranians were manning and wiped

08:19:43.060 them out. After a few more shells, the Iranians got back on the radio and said they were evacuating.

08:19:48.260 US forces watched as the Iranians scrambled down ladders onto a waiting tugboat while helping some

08:19:53.500 of the wounded survivors down. Once the tug left, a helicopter came in and fast-roped a squad of

08:19:58.400 marines onto the platform, who cleared it and collected any intelligence they could find.

08:20:02.920 They then set explosive charges and left. Once safely back on board, the Americans blew up the

08:20:07.740 platform. It was now SAG Charlie's turn to get some action. After setting general quarters at

08:20:13.000 seven in the morning, the SAG began circling the Ciri platform. Once all crews were manned and

08:20:17.940 ready, the ships began issuing a warning at 7.55 that in five minutes, they would start shooting

08:20:23.600 and for the Iranians to evacuate.

08:20:25.780 Most of the Iranians on board heeded this warning and began immediately evacuating.

08:20:30.160 Because of this, the SAG commander ordered the ships to hold fire for now

08:20:33.480 to give them more time to leave.

08:20:35.440 However, after 35 minutes of waiting and some Iranians still standing fast to their guns,

08:20:40.200 the US ships opened fire with 5-inch shells and 76-millimeter gunfire.

08:20:44.680 Unlike the Sasan platform, the Iranians returned fire for several minutes.

08:20:48.780 However, when a 5-inch shell hit a compressed gas tank,

08:20:53.600 like why did okay sorry uh let me say this in english um i want to know why the americans even

08:21:09.420 gave the islamic regime like 35 minute warning like why would you just like get rid of all of 0.95

08:21:16.120 them like you know do the world a favor get rid of the garbage please this time around this time 1.00

08:21:22.480 around Americans. This time around, can you please not even give them warning? Like, where are they 0.95

08:21:29.700 gonna escape to? They're all Muslim Nazi terrorists. So if they're escaping, just boom, boom, all of 1.00

08:21:35.760 them. Like, just do the world a favor. Just, yeah. I know, but I know. Okay, give them, okay, but can

08:21:43.720 you give them, okay, but could you please, like, next time, just give them, like, a 30-second

08:21:50.540 warning just say like you have 30 seconds to leave you know 30 seconds to leave and then

08:21:57.820 you know that's still a warning right yeah but but but japan's not the same japan's not the same

08:22:05.020 japan is not like evil muslim nazis right like japan's different we're talking about like 0.99

08:22:10.940 evil muslim nazis um who are literally like chanting death to america and they want jihad 0.97

08:22:17.900 right so so it's it's not it's not the same as comparing japan to um the islamic regime that's 0.99

08:22:24.540 like an you know it's it's different um and you know but i would say americans this time around

08:22:31.580 you want to give them a warning you know give them give them like a one minute warning be like

08:22:37.340 oh you know two seconds you know just be like you know what give them a one minute warning give them

08:22:47.100 one minute. And the only reason I say give them one minute is because give them at least enough

08:22:53.100 time for them to like poop their pants and be like, you know, you want to, you want to give

08:23:02.260 them like a one or two minute warning. So no, no, no. They need more than 10 seconds. I'll explain

08:23:08.320 why guys, guys, no, no, no. They need, they need, um, okay. I would say give them like a two minute

08:23:16.240 warning. You know why? Because you want to give them enough time. Okay, maybe five minutes,

08:23:22.700 maybe five minutes. And I'll explain why. Five minutes only because we want them to have enough

08:23:31.660 time to react. And then Americans, we expect you to somehow film their reaction. I don't know how

08:23:40.480 you're going to do it. I don't know how you're going to do it, but we need you to film their

08:23:46.920 reaction once you give them a five minute warning. Okay. Why? Because I have, I have a feeling that

08:23:54.180 they're going to have a reaction similar to this.

08:24:10.480 Can you please give the Islamic regime a five-minute warning just so that we can have an opportunity to see them react?

08:24:24.540 Because I want to see that sort of reaction because that's exactly how I picture the Islamic regime reacting when they find out that the Americans are boom-booming them, right?

08:24:36.840 So just give them, like, you know, give them a five-minute warning so that you can at least give us the satisfaction of seeing them react, right?

08:24:45.720 Let's watch that again because this is how I imagine the jihadis reacting.

08:24:51.360 i want to see that see now now you guys know now you guys know why i wanted like a five minute

08:25:14.340 a five minute uh i just want like a five minute um warning so that you guys have an opportunity

08:25:21.680 to to film their reaction so that we iranians can get a little bit of satisfaction okay

08:25:28.060 see guys i always have a reason there's no public confirmation that he's dead maybe maybe

08:25:38.820 cap ooh maybe captain nasty is still alive what a gross person okay so do you guys now understand

08:25:51.300 why why when i'm like i want i want a five minute countdown this is why i just want to see this

08:26:08.820 please please don't deprive us of the joy of seeing that i know you guys have the technology

08:26:17.380 i know you guys have the technology to film their reactions live i know you do you can't fool me

08:26:25.400 i know you guys have the technology so that's like my only demand my only demand my not even

08:26:31.960 demand. My only request of Americans is please, please share some footage with us of the Islamic

08:26:39.860 regime jihadis freaking out. After 47 years of Muslim Nazi occupation, we could use a little

08:26:47.880 bit of laugh there, but there you go. You were there for the operation in 1988. Wow. Well,

08:26:57.360 thank you for your service. Thank you for your service. Thank you for getting rid of those Muslim

08:27:03.340 Nazis. Okay. Let's go back to the documentary now. But now you guys know, I fully expect that 1.00

08:27:15.960 react. I want to see that reaction video, guys. Do not disappoint us, please. We love you.

08:27:22.180 oh did my stalker respond to the video email i haven't even checked

08:27:27.580 i can go check but i don't i don't care i'll go check the resulting inferno incinerated the gun

08:27:33.720 crew when that happened the surviving iranians gave up and their tug came back to pick up the

08:27:38.560 rest oh wait they gave up okay they gave up all right let's go back a little bit here

08:27:42.780 let's go back to the boom booms in still standing fast to their guns the u.s ships

08:27:48.980 opened fire with 5-inch shells and 76-millimeter gunfire. Unlike the Sasan platform, the Iranians

08:27:54.980 returned fire for several minutes. However, when a 5-inch shell hit a compressed gas tank,

08:27:59.600 the resulting inferno incinerated the gun crew. When that happened, the surviving Iranians gave

08:28:04.760 up, and their tug came back to pick up the rest. With the platform now engulfed in a fiery inferno,

08:28:10.120 it was not necessary to send in the SEAL team to finish the job with explosives.

08:28:14.040 But where was the Iranian Navy? Back in Tehran, Iranian leadership was furious.

08:28:18.280 In their mind, one of two things had just happened. The first was that the U.S. had

08:28:22.600 severely damaged Iran's prestige, and there must be a retaliation for that. The other was a much

08:28:27.520 deeper-rooted fear. By happenstance, on the exact same day as Operation Praying Mantis,

08:28:32.780 the Iraqi army launched a major offensive to recapture the Al-Faw Peninsula. Believing that

08:28:37.700 the U.S. had now officially entered the war on Iraq's side against Iran, hardliner Iranian

08:28:42.420 leadership now considered the U.S. an equal belligerent and sought to do battle. Regardless

08:28:47.200 Regardless of the reason, the first surface engagement would not be too long after the

08:28:51.040 destruction of the Siri platform.

08:28:53.320 As SAG-CHALI continued to circle the Siri platform, nearby helicopters spotted what

08:28:57.520 appeared to be an Iranian warship heading straight toward the force.

08:29:01.200 As the vessel got closer, ships in SAG-CHALI began picking up emissions from the unknown

08:29:05.600 high-speed contact.

08:29:07.140 Intelligence confirmed that the ship was indeed an Iranian warship.

08:29:10.940 The 154-foot patrol craft that was barreling down on the force was the Jashan, though much

08:29:15.840 smaller than the other US warships present, the Jashan packed a serious punch. Armed with a 76

08:29:20.960 millimeter gun, the same as the American frigates, along with a 40 millimeter gun and crew served

08:29:25.680 weapons, the ship was bristling with firepower, but that was not the only thing she carried.

08:29:30.080 On her stern, the Jashan had several American harpoon missiles. These anti-ship missiles could

08:29:35.280 deal a ton of damage and with a main battery on board. As the Jashan continued to barrel towards

08:29:40.480 the USS Wainwright, the lead ship in the SAG, the Americans began calling out warning after warning

08:29:45.520 for joshan to stop what she was doing change course and stay away from the group the crew

08:29:50.080 of the joshan were unfazed by all these warnings finally as she was almost over the top of the

08:29:54.400 wainwright the u.s force gave one last warning ordering them to abandon the ship as the u.s

08:29:59.360 would fire on them but joshan got in the first shot as soon as the warning went out the joshan

08:30:04.800 fired a harpoon missile straight at the wainwright her crew took immediate evasive action by coming

08:30:09.760 about and launching chaff these are superheated chunks of metal aimed to attract the missile seeker

08:30:14.880 and it worked just barely as the missile from joshan flew towards the wainwright the bridge

08:30:19.840 team could feel the heat of its propellant as it soared overhead missing the wainwright by

08:30:24.000 mere feet and splashing harmlessly 75 yards away at this moment the wainwright and a sister ship

08:30:29.920 the simpson fired an sm1 in surface mode toward the joshan the first missile obliterated joshan's

08:30:36.000 superstructure while the other hit her in midships in total the sag fired four standard missiles

08:30:41.200 into her and all four were hits as the joshan was ablaze from stem to stern the middle east force

08:30:46.720 admiral contacted the pentagon to inform them of what had happened admiral crow ordered the us

08:30:51.760 force to close with the joshan and sinker as the force closed in a helicopter above helped adjust

08:30:57.120 the ship's fire due to the intense amount of smoke the helo told the group to cease fire after the

08:31:02.000 first initial salvo of five inch rounds they hit the joshan when questioned the pilots confirmed

08:31:07.200 that the Jashan had slipped beneath the waves, with all that was left of her burning oil slicks

08:31:11.640 and dead Iranian sailors. Once the Jashan had sunk, the sailors of Sag Charlie began wondering

08:31:16.760 if they would then pick up the survivors. Ultimately, the commander decided not to,

08:31:20.780 figuring that if they approached the site, the Iranians would claim that the Americans

08:31:23.940 had machine-gunned the survivors. They would still claim this later, but due to the time

08:31:27.980 it took to make this decision, several Iranian F-4 Phantoms began approaching fast.

08:31:33.100 The U.S. force warned the approaching Iranian aircraft to remain clear,

08:31:36.780 however they did not listen and kept coming towards them.

08:31:39.580 As a result, the Wainwright fired two SM-1s in air mode towards the approaching aircraft.

08:31:44.460 One of them scored a hit, and the broken aircraft limped back to base, missing part of its wing.

08:31:49.080 Once the aircraft had left, a period of calm settled over SAG-CHARLY.

08:31:52.740 They had now been in combat for over 10 hours and were exhausted.

08:31:56.520 During this relative calm, the crew realized something was wrong.

08:31:59.340 A Marine Corps Cobra that had refueled on Wainwright earlier in the afternoon was overdue.

08:32:04.640 The helo would eventually be reported missing, and several months after the battle,

08:32:08.460 the US would locate and recover the wreckage. Though there is still a debate to this day,

08:32:12.680 the pilots probably suffered a sense of vertigo when taking evasive maneuvers to avoid Iranian

08:32:17.300 fire and crashed into the sea. They would be the only American casualties of the operation.

08:32:22.540 Though this was the end of the fighting for SAG-Charlie, for SAG-Bravo, their day was now

08:32:26.460 heating up too, or so they thought. As SAG Charlie was engaging the Jashan, the ships of SAG Bravo

08:32:32.140 were investigating radar contacts when one piqued their interest. In the distance, there was a fast

08:32:37.280 moving warship going 25 knots. The USS Merrill sent up a marine helicopter to investigate and

08:32:42.900 asked if they could confirm the ship visually. However, the marines had to keep a safe distance

08:32:47.180 to be out of danger from air-to-air fire should the ship turn out to be Iranian. The SAG commander

08:32:52.240 grew frustrated that the marine pilots could not positively identify the ship and ask them to get

08:32:56.780 closer. However, the senior marine commander did not want to endanger his pilots. Soon, however,

08:33:01.880 the pilots radioed back and said they could see a three-digit hull number but could not make it out.

08:33:06.780 The sailors on Merrill began scrambling for information to see what Iranian ship it could be.

08:33:11.240 However, according to their sources, there was not a single Iranian ship with a three-digit hull

08:33:15.380 number. Not wanting to risk shooting someone else by accident, the SAG commander held his fire.

08:33:20.080 It ended up being the right call, since as the ship closed in within 3,000 yards of the force,

08:33:25.360 the crew could see it was a Soviet cruiser. When asked what they were doing and why they

08:33:29.040 had not responded before, the cruiser responded in a heavy accent. We want to take pictures of

08:33:33.800 history. With that, the Soviet cruiser continued on taking pictures, not realizing it almost became

08:33:38.960 another Jashan. But where was the rest of the Iranian navy? Sag Delta had spent all morning

08:33:44.060 prosecuting potential surface contacts and looking for the Iranian surface fleet to no avail.

08:33:49.300 However, aircraft from the USS Enterprise, which was in the Gulf of Oman, were conducting patrols

08:33:54.340 in the southern Persian Gulf. When they got word that several Iranian Bockhammers, specially made

08:33:58.820 light-fast attack craft, were harassing an oil platform and had shot up several merchant vessels.

08:34:04.200 Unsure if they could attack the vessels so close to Iranian territorial waters,

08:34:07.740 the pilots asked for permission to engage, which went up through the strike group Admiral,

08:34:12.180 the Midias IV Admiral, and up to Colin Powell, and then to President Reagan,

08:34:16.000 and back all within three minutes. And what was the President's response? Shoot them.

08:34:21.080 With that, the American A-6 intruders engaged the Boghammers, sinking one and forcing the rest to 1.00

08:34:26.100 run aground Bandara Bass. But the fight was not over yet. Soon after taking out the Boghammers,

08:34:31.200 the American jets began seeing what looked like a SAM-class frigate heading towards them.

08:34:35.620 Figuring that this was the prized Sabalan with Captain Nasty on board, the planes were ordered

08:34:39.960 to investigate the ship and confirm it was Iranian due to Sag Bravo's close call with a Soviet cruiser.

08:34:45.640 As the American jets got closer, one of the A6s volunteered to fly low over the ship.

08:34:50.200 Though it was not the Sabalan, the pilot confirmed it was its sister ship, the Sahand.

08:34:54.620 However, as the pilot flew over the ship, her crew responded with a fury of anti-aircraft fire

08:34:59.040 and shot a missile at the plane. The pilot counter-attacked by flying back around and

08:35:03.280 firing a harpoon, several rockets, and a 500-pound bomb. The damage was considerable.

08:35:08.920 By the time Sag Delta arrived on the scene, the Sahand was already a burning hulk.

08:35:12.960 It didn't stand a chance. As the three ships of the SAG and seven more aircraft closed in on her,

08:35:18.500 the US forces began pumping missile after missile into her. In total, the Sahan took 12 direct

08:35:23.980 missile hits and sunk within a matter of minutes. But where was the Sabalan? Unknown to the Americans,

08:35:29.240 the captain of the Sabalan put her to sea to try and fight the US upon hearing of the loss of their

08:35:33.580 sister ship. Getting underway from Bandar Abbas, it was not long before those same fighter jets

08:35:38.440 that had helped sink the Sahan found the Sabalan lurking near the Strait of Hormuz.

08:35:42.840 As the A6 piloted by Lieutenant Commander James Engler flew in close to visually identify the

08:35:47.920 ship, the crew of Sabalan sent up a wall of anti-aircraft fire. Now for sure that this was

08:35:52.820 the Sabalan, Lieutenant Commander Engler expertly flew his aircraft over top of the ship and dropped

08:35:57.780 a single 500-pound bomb down on one of her stacks. This stack led directly to one of the main engine

08:36:02.960 rooms and the resulting explosion was catastrophic. Witnesses reported that the entire hull of the

08:36:08.300 Sabalan bulged outward and then back in. The ship's stern was underwater, and fires raged

08:36:13.480 everywhere because of this single, decisive strike. With the Sabalan now a sitting duck,

08:36:18.340 the rest of Sag Delta was en route to finish her off. But that would not be the case.

08:36:22.640 Sensing that all proportionality had now gone out the window, Admiral Crow consulted with his fellow

08:36:27.520 chiefs of staff and recommended to President Reagan that US forces not sink the Sabalan,

08:36:32.240 which might continue to escalate the fighting further. Wanting to give Iran a way out of this,

08:36:36.680 President Reagan ordered all surface and air units to cease fire and give Iran some breathing

08:36:41.420 space. For Iran's part, they readily took the opportunity to save the Sabalan, which was taken

08:36:46.640 under tow and eventually returned to service. With this order, Operation Praying Mantis was

08:36:51.720 now officially over. Though the gulf remained incredibly tense for the next few days, there

08:36:56.300 was no further fighting. Despite not stopping Iranian attacks on neutral shipping, the US taught

08:37:01.460 Iran a very valuable lesson that day. If the U.S. decided to, they could annihilate Iranian

08:37:06.600 conventional forces in short order. What do you think about the tactics used in Operation Praying

08:37:11.680 Mantis? Do you believe the U.S. Navy's actions were justified in response to the Iranian threats?

08:37:16.940 I think they didn't go far enough. I mean, that's my opinion. I think they didn't go far enough. I

08:37:23.420 think they should have exterminated all of them. I think they should have exterminated Khomeini. 1.00

08:37:28.000 I think they should have exterminated the Mullahs. 1.00

08:37:31.540 I think they should have just like boom-boomed all of them to hell 1.00

08:37:34.680 because then maybe we wouldn't be in this situation today.

08:37:39.980 And, you know, Reagan could have fixed the mistake of Jimmy Carter.

08:37:47.680 So that's my opinion on that.

08:37:51.480 That's my opinion on that.

08:37:54.360 Wait, you want me to make a what?

08:37:55.880 can you make a singlet version of your what do you mean by singlet what do you mean singlet version

08:48:50.100 think this is like not a big deal, but for us Iranians, this is actually huge. This is huge

08:48:57.140 because this is basically like...

08:49:20.100 Give me a moment.

08:49:50.100 um it means that the world is starting to acknowledge who our leader is right um

08:49:58.740 what like literally one one year ago one year ago if you know if if king is a path of his name came

08:50:10.240 up somewhere for some reason we would be excited we would be um celebrating like like that would

08:50:18.800 be a huge deal if his name came up in passing. The fact that he was now

08:50:27.380 part of Jeopardy, and Jeopardy is one of the most watched, I think it's like literally,

08:50:41.600 wait, is it Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune or Price is Right? I don't know which one,

08:50:46.980 But Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Price is Right, like the top three, right?

08:50:50.840 I can't tell which is which.

08:50:53.060 But Jeopardy is in the top three in terms of like American TV.

08:50:58.780 So the fact that Jeopardy is now having pop quiz questions where Rizal Pahlavi is the answer to that question.

08:51:12.880 this this is this is basically like um this is acknowledgement of

08:51:23.320 yeah like people are right like only only this yeah it's it's the super longest running american

08:51:33.500 trivia game show and only the smartest people get on and the way that jeopardy works is that

08:51:39.740 um, you have to be smart. Like you basically have to, it's, it's, it's, it's trivia, right?

08:51:46.260 It's trivia. So in order to win, you have to be able to answer questions about any topic, right?

08:51:53.520 So, oh my gosh, Lazlo, you just made, I haven't even seen the video yet. And, um, I'm getting

08:52:06.200 emotional because honestly, like I'm going to tell you right now, it's going to be completely

08:52:16.440 irrelevant. It's going to be completely irrelevant. What, what the question is, but the fact that

08:52:23.520 the fact that King Rizal Pahlevi is now relevant, relevant. Oh, I have the video. Don't worry guys.

08:52:31.360 I have the video. I found the video. I will share with you the video. I found it.

08:52:36.200 The fact that King Rzopalavi is relevant enough in American pop culture that he's now becoming like an answer on Jeopardy.

08:52:55.740 Guys, this is huge.

08:52:57.980 This is huge.

08:57:05.560 first and last name of the potomac maryland resident who was in the news as a key figure

08:57:10.640 she's like shawzadeh means prince it is she's like it is it is like she's in like a state of

08:57:21.840 this like she's trying to convince herself that what she's saying is true. Right. Right. Like it's

08:57:28.680 almost like she's in a state of disbelief. Right. No, he's not an American citizen. He's been living

08:57:33.760 in the United States since 1979, but he's not actually an American citizen. And it's not because

08:57:42.380 he doesn't want to be. It's out of respect. It's it's the American respect for him. Right. Because

08:57:48.580 because he is the Shah of Iran, he's not an American citizen. So he's still Iranian because

08:57:58.260 he was born in Iran, but he has a diplomatic passport from Monaco. And then the citizenship

08:58:06.400 says unspecified, right? Because he's not a citizen of the Islamic regime. No, he's not an

08:58:12.320 American citizen. No, he's not an American citizen. He has a diplomatic passport from Monaco.

08:58:17.240 Um, and fun fact, fun fact, and, uh, Americans, you might not know this, but here's a fun fact

08:58:26.320 for you Americans. When the crown princess of Iran was born, okay. The crown princess of Iran

08:58:35.180 was, was born in the United States, but, um, in, in, in like the, um, the, the place of her birth,

08:58:46.920 Like in the hospital room, when the queen of Iran was giving birth to the crown princess, out of respect for the Iranian royal family, the United States temporarily designated the hospital room where the queen was giving birth as Iranian land, Iranian territory.

08:59:13.800 And so, for official purposes, the crown princess of Iran was born on Iranian land.

08:59:26.140 And, you know, the American government did that. Yeah. Did you guys not know that? Yeah.

08:59:32.060 i mean i'm pretty sure like okay let me let me double check this but i'm

08:59:42.680 i'm pretty sure that's what happened like unless i'm mistaken

08:59:47.220 I'm pretty sure

09:00:00.900 I read that story somewhere

09:00:02.560 like she was

09:00:12.720 born in exile

09:00:13.880 she was born

09:00:16.920 an exile. Yeah. See, here we go. Siri, here we go. See guys. Goldie's always right. Goldie is

09:00:23.500 always right. Goldie is always right. Here we go. So I found it. I found it. Um,

09:00:29.740 um, I found it. So princess Noor Pahlavi's U S hospital birth room declared Iranian territory.

09:00:44.540 okay so associated press article features the newborn princess nur in her mother's arms in

09:00:54.120 possession of a diplomatic passport and as roi de jour aka king apparent crown prince rizzo was

09:01:02.520 allowed to demand that the hospital room in which her baby daughter was born to be declared as part

09:01:09.420 of the Iranian territory for 24 hours. Hence, Princess Noor has not only a dual nationality,

09:01:18.000 but is effectively born on Iranian soil. Thank you, Americans. Thank you, Americans, for doing that.

09:01:29.720 Such an amazing gesture, right? Like, you know, so our princess, our crown princess in exile

09:01:39.600 and not not a whole hospital just a hospital room look it was it wasn't the whole hospital

09:01:45.520 it was just a birth it was literally the room it was the room where um the the queen was giving

09:01:51.680 birth to the crown princess of iran for 24 hours it was declared as iranian territory so that

09:01:58.720 the crown princess of iran could be born on iranian territory yeah so thank you americans

09:02:07.760 thank you americans for that see guys i know my history i know my history i doubted myself for a

09:02:13.840 moment but i was like no no i'm pretty sure i've read that somewhere i've read that somewhere

09:02:18.720 i know it's true so there you go there you go i have a lot guys there's a lot of knowledge in here

09:02:25.040 there's a lot of knowledge in here i just have to you know i just have to focus and figure out

09:02:32.400 where all the information is. But yeah, okay. Let's go to the fat electrician, because I know

09:02:53.960 you guys wanted to hear his analysis of Operation Fraying Mantis. And in the meantime, I'll see if

09:02:59.920 I can find um yeah that's that's Princess Noor um I'm gonna see if I can find more info about um

09:03:07.680 Kings of Pahlavi in jeopardy because that's huge

09:03:11.420 yes the time that the U.S. Navy got upset and destroyed half of Iran's entire naval fleet in

09:03:21.020 a single eight-hour workday today we're talking about operation praying mantis but real quick

09:03:27.140 this video is sponsored by Zydex custom gaming PCs. They are all built right here in America

09:03:31.580 with American-based tech support and a lifetime warranty. It's a computer that I use and the one

09:03:36.540 that I would recommend. I'll have them linked down below if you want to check them out. Let's get to

09:03:40.100 this video. All right, important background info. 1980, Iraq decided to invade Iran. Why? Don't

09:03:44.800 really care. Not pertinent to the story. However, at the end of that war, Iran decides, hey, we're

09:03:49.340 going to pull a page out of the old art of war by Sun Tzu. We're going to cut off the enemy supply

09:03:52.860 lines, deprive the enemy of nice things. It's going to work out great. Iraq's got a weak Navy.

09:03:57.340 We're going to wipe out their Navy. And then every time they send out an oil tanker through the

09:04:00.720 Persian Gulf, we're going to blow that up. So they can't sell any liquid dinosaur. They can't

09:04:05.100 make any money. They go broke. We win the war. Hooray. It's a solid plan. So they do exactly

09:04:10.000 that. Then Kuwait comes out of left field and they're like, Hey, we've been financially backing

09:04:14.020 Iraq through this entire war for the past seven years. We need to make sure they win so we can

09:04:18.140 get our money back. So we're going to go ahead and let Iraq use our oil tankers to export oil.

09:04:23.340 So Iran is like, well, that's an easy problem to solve. I'll just blow up all the Kuwaiti oil

09:04:26.920 tankers as well, which is exactly what they do. But here's the catch. Kuwait at this point in 0.97

09:04:31.080 time is like the one major exporter of oil that wasn't really part of OPEC, meaning that they

09:04:35.220 were selling oil on the global market significantly cheaper than everybody else driving down the

09:04:39.720 entire oil market. And now that their oil tankers are getting blown up as well, it means that Kuwait

09:04:43.840 can no longer sell oil on the cheap cheap, meaning that Iran has now inadvertently committed

09:04:48.520 the cardinal sin of the late 20th century, raising gas prices. Now the entire Western

09:04:53.420 world looks over at the Persian Gulf like, the fuck? The ghost of Sun Tzu sitting there shaking 1.00

09:04:59.960 his head like, that's the one exception. I would have messed with any supply line except for that

09:05:04.540 one because we all know what happens next. Yeah, America then proceeds to assemble the largest

09:05:16.060 naval convoy operations since World War II, send them into the Persian Gulf to protect Kuwaiti oil

09:05:21.580 tankers. It is at this moment that Iran should have been like, well, that's unfortunate. Time

09:05:25.680 to figure out plan B because this obviously is not going to work out. However, they decide that

09:05:30.440 they're going to double down. What they're going to do is they're going to take a bunch of magnetic

09:05:33.780 underwater mines, and they're just going to spread them out all over the Persian Gulf in

09:05:38.100 international waters, and that's not going to have any consequences at all. So fast forward,

09:05:43.460 April 14th, 1988, the USS Samuel B. Roberts, a guided missile frigate, which is basically brand

09:05:49.020 new at this point, this is like its first big operation, is out there escorting a Kuwaiti oil

09:05:53.760 tanker, and it runs into a minefield, hits a mine, blows up the keel of the ship. The keel

09:05:58.700 is this bottom part right here. It like supports and stabilizes the structure of the entire ship

09:06:04.080 and it gets blown completely in half. At this point, the only thing holding this boat together

09:06:09.180 is the actual deck. One second, everything's fine. The next second, there's a 15 foot wide

09:06:14.200 hole in the bottom of your ship. Everything's on fire and water is rushing in. The USS Samuel B.

09:06:19.220 Roberts took on half of its weight in water in the first minute. This is a catastrophic amount

09:06:23.880 of damage that would sink 99% of ships, but as fate would have it, the crew of the USS Samuel B.

09:06:29.300 Roberts had already been winning competitions for having the best damage control crew in the Navy.

09:06:33.940 So the entire crew gets to work. They're putting out fires, they're plugging holes. They're literally

09:06:37.940 cinching the hole together with steel cables, trying to stabilize it because the only thing

09:06:42.200 holding it together is a deck at this point. Over the course of the next five hours, the entire crew

09:06:46.680 fights their ass off and somehow manages to get the situation under control and limp the ship all

09:06:52.340 the way back to Dubai where they can get it to a port and the most incredible part of all of it

09:06:56.820 not a single American was killed only 10 men were injured during the fire and the initial explosion

09:07:02.480 so the crew survived the boats basically completely destroyed then America sends in an underwater crew

09:07:08.040 figure out what happened they find the remnants of the mine they check out the other mines yep

09:07:12.500 they're Iranian at this point now somebody has to inform the president because this is a big deal 0.98

09:07:16.940 and the president at this point in time is let me check my notes uh fucking Ronald Reagan I'm from 0.92

09:07:21.600 the government and i'm here to help so they go ahead and they brief ronald reagan on everything 0.90

09:07:25.320 that happened he's super happy that everybody survived and he's like okay well here's what

09:07:29.040 we're going to do we're going to issue a proportional response and what the u.s navy

09:07:34.000 heard was all right so here's the plan iran currently has three oil rigs in the persian

09:07:38.800 gulf that are not being used for drilling oil but as military bases for their naval operations so

09:07:43.440 the u.s navy is going to go ahead and take out all three of those now i don't really know what the

09:07:47.660 guided missile i mean for the record um i kind of don't like the fact that he's being dismissive

09:07:56.380 of iran i i do appreciate and understand why though because he probably thinks that iran

09:08:03.900 is the enemy um because he doesn't understand the difference between iran and the islamic republic

09:08:10.460 right because um you know he's talking about a situation where if he just like did his research

09:08:18.400 he would know that 10 years prior to the iran iraq war um iran was the biggest ally of the

09:08:25.560 united states so i i don't he's being dismissive towards the iranians but but again i understand

09:08:34.480 why, and I don't hold it against him. I don't hold it against him because for the last 47 years,

09:08:42.760 the vast majority of Americans did not understand that there's a difference between Iran and the

09:08:48.600 Islamic regime. Not your fault, by the way, not your fault, because this is the propaganda that

09:08:55.200 the Islamic regime put out there. They wanted you guys to think that we're the enemy, right?

09:08:59.460 um but I get that no I get that so um I appreciate I appreciate what he's saying but um

09:09:06.960 yeah that's all I was gonna say um but but no he's doing great like I I'm definitely enjoying

09:09:14.360 it for for sure um so he's fantastic and I'm definitely enjoying this it's just like

09:09:21.860 but I just want to say like for for me and every single other Iranian it's like when we hear like

09:09:26.980 you know Iran and we're just like oh like it's just because because these people are like the

09:09:33.040 people doing this are not even Iranian right half of them aren't even Iranian and they're literally

09:09:38.580 like murdering us Iranians but anyways it's all good it's all good but my only criticism so far

09:09:45.240 but other than that like I'm actually really enjoying this I'm really enjoying this he's

09:09:49.960 doing a great job of explaining what's going on.

09:09:58.340 Well, frigate to oil rig exchange ratio is, but we're going to go ahead and err on the

09:10:02.660 side of caution and say that it's not quite proportional enough yet.

09:10:09.200 So Iran also really only has like two modern naval vessels.

09:10:12.940 That's the Iranian frigate Sahand and the Iranian frigate Sabatland.

09:10:16.780 they're going to go ahead and take out at least one of those maybe both we'll see how proportional

09:10:21.160 they want to get and then by the time they get all that done that should be a nice eight hour

09:10:24.360 work day it'll be time to clock out and go get some ice cream so in order to get all this done

09:10:28.040 by quitting time they're going to go ahead and establish three different surface attack groups

09:10:31.500 each group is going to have two destroyers and one bonus ship that bonus ship is either going

09:10:35.940 to be an amphibious landing ship or a frigate either way they're all going to be identified

09:10:39.600 as bravo charlie and delta bravo group is tasked with taking out two oil rigs charlie group is

09:10:44.820 tasked with taking out the one remaining oil rig, and Delta's mission is to go hunt down those two

09:10:49.320 frigates and take them out. And then, just for insurance purposes, we're also going to have the

09:10:53.160 USS Enterprise parked right outside the Persian Gulf to provide air support, you know, in case we

09:10:57.940 need it. So, April 18th, 1988, four days after the mining of the USS Samuel B. Roberts, Operation

09:11:03.620 Praying Mantis goes into full swing, and Bravo Group shows up at their oil rig first, at which

09:11:08.300 point they radio over to the oil rig and inform them that they will be blowing it up in five

09:11:12.060 minutes and they should all leave. So a bunch of people start leaving. They hop in tugboats and

09:11:16.360 take off. Bravo Group, seeing they're making an honest effort to actually evacuate, agrees to

09:11:20.660 give them 15 more minutes. So fast forward 20 minutes later, they send out another radio message.

09:11:25.720 Hey, time's up. They then fire the five inch guns right over the top of the oil rig with the rounds

09:11:31.220 set to airburst, hopefully scaring off any stragglers. And it is at this point that some

09:11:35.800 Iranian military member decides that he is going to audition to be the main character of this story

09:11:40.080 because he hops on a 23mm anti-aircraft gun and opens fire on Bravo Group.

09:11:45.380 And without skipping a beat, one of the 5-inch guns on one of the destroyers just goes 0.98

09:11:49.080 and just fucking direct hit smokes this dude. 0.73

09:11:53.400 Barely touches the rest of the oil rig, this guy, definitely not the main character, 0.98

09:11:58.020 but the silver lining, he at least made it into the credits, is baloney mist cloud number one.

09:12:02.140 Now obviously I'm paraphrasing here, but at this point, Bravo Group radios over to the oil rig

09:12:06.100 one last time something along the lines of hey does anybody else need to find out what it's like 0.99

09:12:10.680 to chew five gum are you fuckers ready to quit the oil rig finally radios back and is like yeah 0.99

09:12:15.200 yeah please cease fire we're gonna leave so all the iranian military members leave bravo group 0.99

09:12:20.560 decides to open up on it for a little bit with the five inch guns before sending over a couple

09:12:24.580 of hueys full of marines the marines hop out place some demo charges hop back on the helicopters take

09:12:29.480 off the entire oil rig blows up and already things are getting more proportional

09:12:33.700 and while all that was happening Charlie Group made it to their first oil rig as well and pretty

09:12:40.980 much the exact same thing played out the only differences were Charlie Group didn't have

09:12:44.940 Marines to place the demo charges they had Navy SEALs and when the Iranians opened up with the

09:12:50.000 23 millimeter anti-aircraft guns they just decided to keep firing five inch shells at the oil platform

09:12:55.400 until it burst into flames and burnt the entire thing to the ground at which point the commander

09:13:00.060 the destroyer kind of looks over at the navy seals and is like sorry i guess you guys get to

09:13:04.860 sit this one out oh mission got canceled good and while all that's going down bravo group's already

09:13:10.120 making their way over to the third oil rig at which point they pick up something on radar and

09:13:14.300 it's definitely another enemy ship headed right towards them and at this point you have to remember

09:13:18.380 this is the late 1980s none of the american sailors have seen naval warfare on this scale

09:13:23.240 the pucker factor is on they are getting harpoon missiles ready and they are about to get in like

09:13:28.260 one of the biggest naval fights since world war ii at which point whoever's in charge of bravo

09:13:32.500 group decides to take a deep breath and they're like okay let's just let's send up a helicopter

09:13:38.180 real quick just to verify that it's actually an enemy ship so the helicopter goes up radios back

09:13:43.060 to bravo group it's definitely a warship but it's a soviet destroyer at which point everybody's like

09:13:48.180 what what is happening right now so they radio over to this russian destroyer and they're like

09:13:53.700 what are your intentions and the russian commander radios back in broken english i swear to god this

09:13:59.220 is a real quote i'm just here to take pictures for history look i know that i bash on the soviet

09:14:06.580 union and communism every single chance i get but this time around i gotta give it is that why

09:14:11.780 earlier today when i was like oh my gosh there's like a russian warship in the area a lot of you

09:14:19.060 were like oh they're just there to take photos is that it is that the meme they're just there

09:14:25.300 to take photos for history i hope so i hope so that would be hilarious like god nice okay okay

09:14:39.540 okay i see i see

09:14:41.220 to him these guys know how to party just straight up rolling into the middle of the largest naval

09:14:49.060 operation since world war ii to eat popcorn and watch it's incredible at this point iran finally

09:14:54.480 figures out that there's something going on but they don't really know what so they just begin

09:14:57.600 attacking any ship they can find and the first ship they found was a civilian cargo ship called

09:15:02.500 the willy tide that they begin attacking with bog hammer style speed boats so the willy tide radios

09:15:07.660 for help, the USS Enterprise responds by sending up a bunch of A-6 intruders, as well as F-14 Tomcats.

09:15:14.020 The A-6 intruders show up, start dropping cluster bombs, they end up hitting one of the speedboats

09:15:18.440 and scattering the rest. The civilian cargo ship is saved, hooray, cutting back to Charlie Group,

09:15:23.320 now there's an Iranian fast attack ship coming right at them. So they radio over like, hey,

09:15:28.100 yeah, we're kind of going around blowing up all your stuff, but also we've got a very specific

09:15:31.960 list, you're not on it, so how about you just go away and we'll forget we saw you. The Iranian

09:15:37.340 fast attack ship messages back. Sounds good. We'll do that. And then they just keep driving

09:15:42.300 right towards them. And then this Iranian fast attack ship gets within like 15 miles of Charlie

09:15:47.580 Group, which is like point blank range for a naval battle. Charlie Group radios again, dude,

09:15:52.480 what are you doing? To which they respond, I'm following orders. And then they proceeded to lock

09:15:58.200 their radar on Charlie Group, which Charlie Group can see. At which point Charlie Group immediately

09:16:03.160 launches five missiles directly at the iranian vessel the iranian vessel fires a harpoon missile

09:16:07.960 back at charlie group both groups now have missiles in the air screaming towards one another

09:16:12.120 the americans launch countermeasures shooting up chaff rockets that end up catching the harpoon

09:16:16.920 missile detonating it in midair the iranian vessel on the other hand did not have any

09:16:20.860 countermeasures capable of stopping the newer technology behind the american missiles and it

09:16:25.140 would end up getting sunk pretty much immediately then before anybody can really even fully digest

09:16:29.500 what just happened radar picks up three iranian f-4s screaming towards charlie group charlie group

09:16:35.340 then turns fires a bunch of surface-to-air missiles at the f-4s the f-4s see them coming they're like

09:16:40.500 oh shit they pop a u-turn and try to outrun them f-4s while they are extremely fast can't outrun 0.89

09:16:45.780 missiles so one of the missiles ends up blowing a wing off one of the f-4s now america has taken 0.99

09:16:50.400 out a entire naval vessel and an f-4 that they did not plan on taking out and it's throwing off all

09:16:55.920 of our proportions and because of that American leadership orders Bravo group to stand down we're

09:17:00.380 not going to go take out that third oil rig and right as soon as that order gets given out Delta

09:17:05.140 group chimes in is like hey we found that frigate we were looking for so now nobody knows what to

09:17:10.080 do because on one hand things are already getting out of control but on the other hand we really

09:17:14.060 want to take out these frigates so American leadership decides well we might not even have

09:17:18.460 to make a hard decision maybe that's not even the frigate and the radar is wrong why don't you go

09:17:22.440 ahead and send a couple A-6 intruders over do a flyby they can verify that it's actually this

09:17:26.920 new modern frigate and if it is we'll make a decision from there. Or so they thought because

09:17:31.180 the A-6 pilots are about to decide that they are in fact the main characters of this story.

09:17:35.700 You see the USS Enterprise and its aircraft aren't really supposed to be doing a whole lot

09:17:39.460 they're more or less just there for insurance. In fact they're only allowed to engage the enemy

09:17:43.440 under one of two conditions. One the president of the United States signs off on it which is

09:17:49.220 actually what happened with the speed boats earlier or two they get fired upon first. So they

09:17:54.560 got told to go fly by this boat to verify that it is in fact the new modern frigate but they didn't

09:17:59.540 get told how to fly by the boat so they drop down 50 feet above the water and just gun it and they

09:18:05.420 buzz the entire ship. So the ship opens fire with its AA guns but these planes are so low to the

09:18:11.020 water the AA guns can't actually aim down low enough so all the anti-aircraft fire goes right

09:18:16.000 over the top of them they continue to stay low enough till they get out of anti-aircraft gun range

09:18:20.800 and then they pull up at which point the ship launches a bunch of surface-to-air missiles at

09:18:25.240 them they drop chaff as a countermeasure takes care of those no big deal they then go around

09:18:30.420 do a u-turn send a radio message to this frigate i'm going to sink you now which they can now

09:18:35.940 legally do because remember the ship fired on them first no victim to one of the classic blunders so

09:18:41.840 a6 fires an anti-ship harpoon missile and the second they pull the trigger on that the fire

09:18:46.080 control team from the uss enterprise is like what the are you doing we're not supposed to

09:18:51.520 be killing things yet and the a6s are like look they fired at us first why is he swearing so much

09:18:58.320 guys if armin knew that i was playing this right now armin would be like gulsa goldie

09:19:05.360 guys you're gonna get me in trouble

09:19:06.720 why is he swearing

09:19:10.940 we have children watching this channel you know what i'm gonna send him a strongly worded letter

09:19:23.620 i'm gonna send him a strongly worded letter and i'll be like yeah my parents are watching right

09:19:32.460 now. You are embarrassing me in front of my parents right now. Yeah, Americans. I'm going

09:19:46.440 to send him a strongly worded email and I'm going to say, Mr. Fat Electrician, please

09:19:53.680 do not fush fush so much yeah I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna act like the UN I'm gonna act like the UN

09:20:03.380 you know what he'll yeah I I know I know what he'll probably tell me to do that's fine that's

09:20:09.360 fine I'm just saying I like I'm obviously not gonna stop him from saying what he wants to say

09:20:15.500 I'm just saying, like, I'm just, I'm a conscientious objector so that no one can come back and accuse me of, like, you know, supporting swearing.

09:20:34.800 Because I am enjoying it.

09:20:36.580 and guys I know I know like like military people have potty mouths police have potty mouths like

09:20:46.820 all you guys you know first responders you're all potty mouths I know believe me I know I was in

09:20:53.840 government I've I've worked with you guys behind the scenes you're all potty mouths but that's

09:20:59.480 okay I still thank you for your service and guys like the dark humor I appreciate the dark humor 0.98

09:21:05.400 we love the dark humor all good first then's the rules and the uss enterprise is like holy shit 0.75

09:21:15.940 okay i guess let them have it then the harpoon missile finally makes impact it's a bullseye 0.92

09:21:21.580 the a6 is do a u-turn go drop another 500 pound laser guided bomb right through the deck of this

09:21:26.940 frigate fly past it do another u-turn come back drop a thousand pound bomb on it then they radio

09:21:32.660 over to the enterprise and like yeah it's definitely gonna sink we're gonna head back

09:21:36.180 so the a6s take off headed back to the enterprise and like five minutes later delta group shows up

09:21:41.140 with their warships and begin firing on the already sinking frigate they hit the magazine

09:21:45.860 the frigate explodes rapidly sinks to the ocean floor at this point naval leadership is like okay

09:21:50.820 jesus christ everybody stopped killing things we need to figure out what all happened we got to

09:21:54.660 to keep this proportional remember i love that actually so they start radioing back and forth

09:22:01.720 everybody's figuring out what everybody did if anybody's hurt what's going on the whole story

09:22:06.660 and then as the a6s are making their way back to the uss enterprise guess what they happen to fly

09:22:12.060 past the other modern frigate so now the entire u.s navy is looking at this last frigate like

09:22:17.720 SpongeBob looking at a jug of water. But also like realistically speaking, the A6s are pretty

09:22:29.300 much out of ammunition. The only thing they have left are 2000 pound bombs. And those just aren't

09:22:34.400 going to be enough by themselves without a harpoon missile to take down this ship anyways. So they

09:22:38.700 really are just going to fly by and verify that it's the modern frigate. So the A6 intruders go

09:22:43.020 ahead. They do their flyby. It is in fact the new frigate that they thought it was. And it does in

09:22:47.040 fact open fire on the a6s a6s make it out completely unscathed at which point they pop a u-turn and

09:22:52.980 one of the a6 pilots is like hmm it's the bullseye whop rats in my t16 back home so the a6 pulls up

09:22:58.860 gaining altitude and then dives down aims its nose right at the frigate at like a 35 degree angle 0.97

09:23:04.740 they're doing a good old-fashioned dive bombing run like it's fucking world war ii the aa guns 0.90

09:23:09.760 start fire and there's bullets whizzing past the plane but they're committed now they're closing 0.96

09:23:14.220 in closing in the bombardier behind the pilot lets the pilot know hey i'm locked on at which 0.99

09:23:19.080 point bombs away the pilot pulls up and the bomb goes right down the fucking smokestack of this 0.91

09:23:25.280 boat blows up completely destroying the entire engine room that frigate is now dead in the water 0.96

09:23:30.480 with no power the a6s go ahead and radio in that they have completely disabled this frigate at

09:23:34.820 which point the american leadership calls a complete ceasefire they're going to go ahead

09:23:38.380 and let that frigate survive get towed off potentially be repaired with the u.s navy having

09:23:43.040 effectively disabled or destroyed over half of iran's functioning navy the u.s military decides

09:23:49.520 you know what i just um realized so someone actually like i think about a month ago

09:23:59.440 someone actually like in in like the youtube live chat recommended that i watch this video um

09:24:07.760 Um, and at that point, my, my Bubba was watching the YouTube live channel.

09:24:16.020 And, you know, when that recommendation was made like a month ago, I was like, yeah, yeah,

09:24:20.240 I'll definitely look into it.

09:24:21.720 Was it you Tim?

09:24:23.000 I mean, a bunch of you, a bunch of you, a bunch of you made the recommendation.

09:24:26.900 You can all take credit for it.

09:24:28.960 Tim, whiskey, Carl, all of you.

09:24:33.080 Cause I remember like a month ago, a bunch of you were like, yeah, go watch the fat electrician.

09:24:38.600 So I didn't watch it back then. Um, but my dad did. So my sister told me,

09:24:47.560 oh yeah, uh, Bubba, Bubba went and watched, um, the fat electrician, um,

09:24:56.320 operation praying mantis and i was like oh what what did what did bubba think like i wasn't even

09:25:06.880 like you know i hadn't seen this so i didn't know so i was like oh what did bubba think

09:25:11.080 and my sister's like he thought it was okay which is basically code for he was not impressed with

09:25:19.560 the language. Now I can understand. Now I can understand why my dad was not impressed with the

09:25:32.220 language. All good. All good. All good. He liked the content. He liked the information. Like my

09:25:46.740 my dad appreciated, uh, the information. He just, he didn't like the language.

09:25:55.660 Yeah. Oh no. My, my Bubba, my Bubba lived in Texas for 10 years. My Bubba's,

09:26:01.860 my Bubba is very, very, um, familiar with language and my Bubba, but, but my Bubba is a gentleman.

09:26:11.400 like my bubba is a gentleman so oh if he has to like you know say something he'll say it

09:26:17.720 but you know like my bubba is like you know you have to be you know he he's very like you know

09:26:23.680 like a southern gentleman right like southern gentleman they don't cuss around women they

09:26:30.780 respect women you know all that sort of thing so um my dad think of him as like a southern gentleman

09:26:37.040 That's his attitude, right? If someone says an inappropriate word around a lady, my bubba will

09:26:46.240 be like, that's not gentlemanly. Respect women, right? That's how my bubba is. So there you go.

09:26:53.460 But yeah, he's seen this video. I'm pretty sure my bubba enjoyed the video. He just can't say

09:27:01.200 that publicly well let's continue to call it a good day ends operation praying mantis we all get

09:27:11.300 to live happily ever after except later that night iran decided that they wanted to fight a little

09:27:16.700 bit more and they launched a bunch of silkworm anti-ship missiles at american vessels luckily

09:27:21.820 no american vessels were actually hit however this is now a huge political problem because america

09:27:26.440 has been mad at the fact that iran even had silkworm missiles for years at this point

09:27:30.880 and the American government has made it very clear to Iran that if they ever used them,

09:27:35.240 they would be going to war with America, period. That's set in stone. So the Reagan administration,

09:27:40.400 not wanting to kick off World War III in the 1980s, reaches out to the Iranian government and

09:27:44.640 is like, here's what's going to happen. You're going to go ahead and admit that that was an

09:27:47.820 accident. I'm going to sweep it under the rug and we're never going to talk about it again,

09:27:51.460 because if this makes headline news and the American people find out, I'm going to have to

09:27:55.100 get real proportional around here. So Iran's like, okay, fine, whatever. It was an accident.

09:27:59.780 let's sweep that whole thing under the rug but i am still going to take america to international

09:28:03.860 court to try to prove that it was a war crime to take out my oil rigs that way i can get reparations

09:28:08.820 and make america pay for it so they go to international court they lay out the case

09:28:12.180 the international court is looking at america like okay well first of all you're the fraction

09:28:16.340 people i don't know how you think that this is proportional but it definitely wasn't second of

09:28:21.220 all according to the amity act you absolutely should not have attacked their oil rigs this

09:28:26.180 is probably a war crime at which point the representative for america is like well actually

09:28:30.660 if you read the amity treaty between iran and the united states it only talks about ships and boats

09:28:38.020 okay so right then and there right then and there when the international court of justice

09:28:46.020 um which is one of the seven main bodies of the united nations um

09:28:52.180 Um, right then and there when the international court of justice, um, was blaming the United

09:29:00.560 States, that should have been your warning.

09:29:04.700 Like that should have been your red flag that, oh, Hey, maybe the United nations is not,

09:29:11.120 um, the organization that we thought it would be right.

09:29:14.880 Because literally right then and there, right.

09:29:17.860 The United Nations has been supporting a brutal Islamic dictatorship that has been murdering us Iranians for the last 47 years. 0.84

09:29:26.620 Oh, and by the way, by the way, they painted as if you guys are the criminals. 0.58

09:29:31.940 Meanwhile, we Iranians love you.

09:29:34.480 We Iranians love Americans, right?

09:29:36.680 Like, we're so grateful that you are coming to liberate us, coming to liberate our country.

09:29:43.160 And yet these jihadi international organizations are accusing you of being the criminals and terrorists, right? So make that make sense. Make that make sense. Defund the UN, destroy the UN. Like, I think what should happen is that President Trump, again, I'm not American. I'm not American. So take it with a grain of salt, because I cannot tell you guys what to do.

09:30:10.120 I would never ever in a million years think that I have the right to tell Americans what to do or

09:30:16.600 what to say or to influence American policy. That's my disclaimer. However, if I was American,

09:30:23.660 if I was, I would say to President Trump, defund the UN, kick that garbage organization out of 0.98

09:30:31.300 your country and focus on the Board of Peace. Focus on the Board of Peace and create the Board 0.86

09:30:39.660 of Peace articles in a way that the United States is the top authority, right?

09:30:47.180 The United States should be the top authority and the, you know, the Board of Peace that

09:30:52.740 President Trump has created should replace the UN and the Board of Peace should be established

09:30:58.940 in such a way so that all of these communist jihadi countries will never have the opportunity

09:31:06.920 to take over, right?

09:31:09.660 My opinion as an Iranian, as a Canadian, just saying.

09:31:14.740 Not American, so I can't tell you guys what to do, but just, you know, my opinion. 0.99

09:31:22.420 Because UN is garbage. 1.00

09:31:24.060 Kick them out. 1.00

09:31:24.960 Kick them out. 1.00

09:31:25.520 UN is literal garbage. 0.99

09:31:28.080 And what's really frustrating is that you guys are literally, like, 30% of the UN is funded by American taxpayer dollars. 1.00

09:31:36.380 You should not be wasting a single penny of your taxpayer dollars to a garbage organization that's promoting jihad and communism. 0.96

09:31:47.700 Just saying. Just saying. 0.99

09:31:50.820 But again, I'm Iranian slash Canadian, so I'm not here to tell you guys what to do.

09:31:57.840 But if I was American, that would be my opinion as an American.

09:32:03.420 it. It don't say shit about oil rigs, meaning I wasn't obligated to not attack those oil rigs, 0.97

09:32:09.860 at which point the court is like, hold on, hold on, hold on. 0.99

09:32:16.880 Fucking he's right. Son of a bitch. Okay. Well, I guess America's innocent because I've said it 1.00

09:32:22.380 once and I'll say it again. It's never a war crime the first time. And now for the best part

09:32:26.580 of the entire story, America now proceeds to go over to Dubai, pick up what's left of the USS

09:32:31.120 samuel b roberts tow it all the way back to maine then take the ship out of the water get it in dry

09:32:36.640 dock cut out the entire damaged section of the ship including the engine compartment build another

09:32:41.920 module to fit in its place this thing weighs like 300 tons they jack it up weld it right where it's

09:32:47.840 at get everything re-hooked up reconnected this boat is back out on the ocean one year later on

09:32:53.360 april 1st 1989 it then goes on to get recommissioned and serves in the navy until 2015. i mean playing 0.69

09:33:00.000 battleship against America's got to suck, right? Like, haha, I've sunk your frigate. And America's

09:33:04.400 like, first of all, no, you didn't. Second of all, fuck your entire Navy as it picks up your board 1.00

09:33:09.660 and just throws it at the wall. So in conclusion, if you do ever find yourself being the leader of 1.00

09:33:13.840 a foreign nation one day, the best advice that I can possibly give you is A, do whatever you can 0.99

09:33:18.400 to not raise gas prices and B, whatever you do, do not fuck with America's boats. We do not like 0.99

09:33:24.700 that shit. Thank you for watching. Best way to support the channel is like, comment, subscribe, 1.00

09:33:52.760 Like, he'll love the food.

09:33:53.620 He'll love the food.

09:33:54.260 But, you know, officially, potty mouth for swearing. 0.54

09:34:01.280 Rude.

09:34:02.680 But, yeah, all good.

09:34:04.540 All good.

09:34:08.240 Look, that was great, but it's just too many, too many swear words.

09:34:12.380 Guys, you cannot tell Armin that I played this.

09:34:15.680 If you tell Armin that I play this, if you tell Armin that I played this, he's gonna, he's never gonna let me, like, live it down.

09:34:24.980 He's never gonna let me play it down.

09:34:27.760 You guys cannot do that to me.

09:34:35.360 You, you, you can't do that to me.

09:34:38.600 Um, jeez.

09:34:42.080 Okay.

09:34:43.340 Um.

09:34:45.680 there's a few other videos that I want to play. And because like, I have a feeling that there's

09:34:55.480 a lot that's going to be happening in the next week or so. I just want to get, I want to get

09:35:04.060 through these videos, not because it's a chore, but it's just I just want to have an opportunity

09:35:18.040 many yeah carl like i want carl i'm watching you for sure carl all good all good um so i've

09:35:31.360 actually been wanting to watch the speech from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. So let's watch

09:35:40.780 this because I haven't seen it yet. And I have a feeling that this is also, you know, like this

09:35:46.920 ties into what, you know, Senator Lindsey Graham has said, what President Trump has said, what

09:35:55.680 others have said. So there you go. I'm going to play this. I'm going to take a little bit of a

09:36:00.500 break. And then after the speech is done, I'm probably going to call it a night. So just wanted

09:36:05.380 to thank you all for being here and joining us. So let's watch this speech. And then afterwards,

09:36:11.440 we're going to call it a night and I will see you guys tomorrow.

09:36:21.080 Thank you very much. We gather here today as members of a historic alliance,

09:36:27.020 an alliance that saved and changed the world you know when this conference began in 1963

09:36:32.740 it was in a nation actually it was on a continent that was divided against itself

09:36:39.400 the line between communism and freedom ran through the heart of germany the first barbed

09:36:46.800 fences of the berlin wall had gone up just two years prior and just months before that first

09:36:52.780 conference, before our predecessors first met here, here in Munich, the Cuban missile crisis

09:36:59.920 had brought the world to the brink of nuclear destruction. Even as World War II still burned

09:37:08.940 fresh in the memory of Americans and Europeans alike, we found ourselves staring down the barrel

09:37:15.400 of a new global catastrophe, one with the potential for a new kind of destruction, more apocalyptic

09:37:21.720 and final than anything before in the history of mankind.

09:37:28.360 The time of that first gathering, Soviet communism was on the march.

09:37:33.440 Thousands of years of Western civilization hung in the balance.

09:37:37.640 At that time, victory was far from certain.

09:37:42.920 But we were driven by a common purpose.

09:37:47.300 We were unified not just by what we were fighting against.

09:37:50.260 we were unified but we were what we were fighting for and together europe and america prevailed

09:37:59.260 and a continent was rebuilt our people prospered in time the east and west blocks were reunited

09:38:06.480 a civilization was once again made whole that infamous wall that had cleaned this nation into

09:38:14.380 the two came down, and with it, an evil empire.

09:38:17.780 And the East and West became one again.

09:38:21.200 But the euphoria of this triumph

09:38:23.280 led us to a dangerous delusion

09:38:26.400 that we had entered, quote, the end of history,

09:38:30.120 that every nation would now be a liberal democracy,

09:38:32.760 that the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone

09:38:36.600 would now replace nationhood,

09:38:39.880 that the rules-based global order, an overused term,

09:38:42.780 would now replace the national interest and that we would now live in a world without borders

09:38:48.300 where everyone became a citizen of the world. This was a foolish idea that ignored both human 0.89

09:38:56.000 nature and it ignored the lessons of over 5,000 years of recorded human history. 0.98

09:39:01.760 And it has cost us dearly. In this delusion, we embraced a dogmatic vision of free and unfettered

09:39:09.060 trade, even as some nations protected their economies and subsidized their companies to

09:39:15.500 systematically undercut ours, shuttering our plants, resulting in large parts of our societies

09:39:23.360 being de-industrialized, shipping millions of working and middle-class jobs overseas,

09:39:28.840 and handing control of our critical supply chains to both adversaries and rivals.

09:39:33.780 We increasingly outsourced our sovereignty to international institutions while many nations invested in massive welfare states at the cost of maintaining the ability to defend themselves.

09:39:45.460 This, even as other countries have invested in the most rapid military buildup in all of human history and have not hesitated to use hard power to pursue their own interests.

09:39:57.000 To appease a climate cult, we have imposed energy policies on ourselves that are impoverishing our people, even as our competitors exploit oil and coal and natural gas and anything else, not just to power their economies, but to use as leverage against our own.

09:40:14.500 And in a pursuit of a world without borders, we opened our doors to an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture, and the future of our people.

09:40:30.640 We made these mistakes together.

09:40:34.260 And now, together, we owe it to our people to face those facts and to move forward, to rebuild.

09:40:40.720 under president trump the united states of america will once again take on the task of

09:40:47.420 renewal and restoration driven by a vision of a future as proud as sovereign and as vital

09:40:53.860 as our civilizations past and while we are prepared if necessary to do this alone

09:41:00.920 it is our preference and it is our hope to do this together with you our friends here in europe

09:41:09.380 For the United States and Europe, we belong together.

09:41:15.880 America was founded 250 years ago, but the roots began here on this continent long before.

09:41:23.180 The men who settled and built the nation of my birth arrived on our shores carrying the memories and the traditions

09:41:29.620 and the Christian faith of their ancestors as a sacred inheritance, an unbreakable link between the old world and the new.

09:41:37.900 we are part of one civilization western civilization we are bound to one another by

09:41:45.180 the deepest bonds that nations could share forged by centuries of shared history christian faith

09:41:51.120 culture heritage language ancestry and the sacrifices our forefathers made together

09:41:58.660 for the common civilization to which we have fallen heir and so this is why we americans

09:42:07.140 may sometimes come off as a little direct and urgent in our council.

09:42:14.220 This is why President Trump demands seriousness and reciprocity from our friends here in Europe.

09:42:19.980 The reason why, my friends, is because we care deeply.

09:42:24.580 We care deeply about your future and ours.

09:42:28.980 And if at times we disagree,

09:42:31.680 our disagreements come from our profound sense of concern about a Europe

09:42:35.960 with which we are connected not just economically not just militarily we are connected spiritually

09:42:43.160 and we are connected culturally we want europe to be strong we believe that europe must survive

09:42:50.760 because the two great wars of the last century serve for us as history's constant reminder

09:42:57.780 that ultimately our destiny is

09:43:01.620 and will always be intertwined with yours

09:43:05.880 because we know

09:43:07.680 because we know

09:43:19.720 that the fate of Europe

09:43:21.700 will never be irrelevant to our own.

09:43:24.920 national security which this conference is largely about is not merely a series of technical

09:43:32.700 questions how much we spend on defense or where how we deploy it these are important questions

09:43:38.560 they are but they are not the fundamental one the fundamental question we must answer at the outset

09:43:44.960 is what exactly are we defending because armies do not fight for abstractions armies fight for

09:43:53.800 a people. Armies fight for a nation. Armies fight for a way of life. And that is what we are

09:44:00.560 defending. A great civilization that has every reason to be proud of its history, confident of

09:44:07.140 its future, and aims to always be the master of its own economic and political destiny.

09:44:13.360 It was here, in Europe, where the ideas that planted the seeds of liberty that changed the

09:44:19.180 world were born. It was here in Europe, which gave the world the rule of law, the universities

09:44:26.640 and the scientific revolution. It was this continent that produced the genius of Mozart

09:44:32.800 and Beethoven, of Dante and Shakespeare, of Michelangelo and Da Vinci, of the Beatles and

09:44:40.700 the Rolling Stones. And this is the place where the vaulted ceilings of the Sistine Chapel

09:44:47.540 and the towering spires of the great cathedral in Cologne,

09:44:53.020 they testify not just to the greatness of our past

09:44:55.600 or to a faith in God that inspired these marvels.

09:44:59.560 They foreshadow the wonders that await us in our future.

09:45:05.280 But only if we are unapologetic in our heritage

09:45:08.220 and proud of this common inheritance

09:45:10.340 can we together begin the work of envisioning

09:45:13.260 and shaping our economic and our political future.

09:45:16.120 deindustrialization was not inevitable it was a conscious policy choice a decades-long economic

09:45:24.280 undertaking that stripped our nations of their wealth of their productive capacity and of their

09:45:29.280 independence and the loss of our supply chain sovereignty was not a function of a prosperous 0.62

09:45:34.640 and healthy system of global trade it was foolish it was a foolish but voluntary transformation of

09:45:41.000 our economy that left us dependent on others for our needs and dangerously vulnerable to crisis.

09:45:48.020 Mass migration is not, was not, isn't some fringe concern of little consequence.

09:45:54.740 It was and continues to be a crisis which is transforming and destabilizing societies all

09:46:01.200 across the West. Together, we can re-industrialize our economies and rebuild our capacity to defend

09:46:07.140 our people. But the work of this new alliance should not be focused just on military cooperation

09:46:13.100 and reclaiming the industries of the past. It should also be focused on together advancing

09:46:18.860 our mutual interests and new frontiers, unshackling our ingenuity, our creativity,

09:46:25.020 and the dynamic spirit to build a new Western century. Commercial space travel and cutting-edge

09:46:31.820 artificial intelligence, industrial automation and flex manufacturing, creating a western

09:46:37.340 supply chain for critical minerals not vulnerable to extortion from other powers, and a unified

09:46:43.860 effort to compete for market share in the economies of the global south. Together, we

09:46:49.300 cannot only take back control of our own industries and supply chains, we can prosper in the areas

09:46:55.280 that will define the 21st century. But we must also gain control of our national borders.

09:47:01.820 controlling who and how many people enter our countries this is not an

09:47:07.340 expression of xenophobia it is not hate it is a fundamental act of national

09:47:12.580 sovereignty and the failure to do so is not just an abdication of one of our

09:47:17.600 most basic duties owed to our people it is an urgent threat to the fabric of

09:47:23.480 our societies and the survival of our civilization itself and finally we can

09:47:30.540 no longer place the so-called global order above the vital interests of our

09:47:34.860 people and our nations. We do not need to abandon the system of international

09:47:39.480 cooperation we authored, and we don't need to dismantle the global institutions

09:47:44.080 of the old order that together we built. But these must be reformed. These must

09:47:50.000 be rebuilt. For example, the United Nations still has tremendous potential

09:47:54.860 to be a tool for good in the world, but we cannot ignore that today on the most

09:48:00.200 pressing matters before us. It has no answers and has played virtually no role. It could not solve

09:48:07.540 the war in Gaza. Instead, it was American leadership that freed captives from barbarians

09:48:12.480 and brought about a fragile truce. It has not solved the war in Ukraine. It took American

09:48:19.140 leadership in partnership with many of the countries here today just to bring the two

09:48:22.900 sides to the table in search of a still elusive peace. It was powerless to constrain the nuclear

09:48:29.940 program of radical shia clerics in tehran that required 14 bombs dropped with precision from

09:48:36.160 american b2 bombers and it was unable to address the threat to our security from a narco terrorist

09:48:42.300 dictator in venezuela instead it took american special forces to bring this fugitive to justice

09:48:47.980 in a perfect world all of these problems and more would be solved by diplomats and strongly worded

09:48:55.660 resolutions but we do not live in a perfect world and we cannot continue to allow those

09:49:02.380 who blatantly and openly threaten our citizens and endanger our global stability to shield

09:49:08.060 themselves behind abstractions of international law which they themselves routinely violate

09:49:14.300 this is the path that president trump and the united states has embarked upon

09:49:19.260 it is the past path we ask you here in europe to join us on it is a path we have

09:49:24.220 walked together before and hope to walk together again for five centuries before the end of the

09:49:32.380 second world war the west had been expanding its missionaries its pilgrims its soldiers its

09:49:37.900 explorers pouring out from its shores to cross oceans settle new continents build vast empires

09:49:44.540 extending out across the globe but in 1945 for the first time since the age of columbus

09:49:52.220 It was contracting.

09:49:55.780 Europe was in ruins.

09:49:57.480 Half of it lived behind an iron curtain, and the rest looked like it would soon follow.

09:50:03.320 The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions

09:50:09.480 and by anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle

09:50:16.680 across vast swaths of the map in the years to come.

09:50:20.000 against that backdrop then as now many came to believe that the west's age of dominance had come

09:50:27.360 to an end and that our future was destined to be a faint and feeble echo of our past

09:50:34.400 but together our predecessors recognized that decline was a choice and it was a choice they

09:50:44.480 refused to make. This is what we did together once before. And this is what President Trump

09:50:51.100 and the United States want to do again now, together with you. And this is why we do not

09:50:58.240 want our allies to be weak, because that makes us weaker. We want allies who can defend themselves

09:51:04.660 so that no adversary will ever be tempted to test our collective strength. This is why we do not

09:51:10.940 want our allies to be shackled by guilt and shame. We want allies who are proud of their culture

09:51:15.960 and of their heritage, who understand that we are heirs to the same great and noble civilization

09:51:21.320 and who together with us are willing and able to defend it. And this is why we do not want

09:51:28.960 allies to rationalize the broken status quo rather than reckon with what is necessary to fix it.

09:51:35.380 For we in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline.

09:51:45.180 We do not seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship and renew the greatest civilization in human history.

09:51:54.000 What we want is a reinvigorated alliance that recognizes that what has ailed our societies is not just a set of bad policies,

09:52:01.160 but a malaise of hopelessness and complacency.

09:52:04.240 an alliance is what the alliance that we want is one that is not paralyzed into an action by fear

09:52:10.000 fear of climate change fear of war fear of technology instead we wanted alliance that

09:52:15.740 boldly races into the future and the only fear we have is the fear of the shame of not leaving

09:52:22.400 our nations prouder stronger and wealthier for our children an alliance ready to defend our people

09:52:28.960 to safeguard our interests and to preserve the freedom of action that allows us to shape our

09:52:33.820 own destiny. Not one that exists to operate a global welfare state and atone for the purported

09:52:40.020 sins of past generations. An alliance that does not allow its power to be outsourced, constrained

09:52:46.420 or subordinated to systems beyond its control. One that does not depend on others for the critical

09:52:52.540 necessities of its national life. And one that does not maintain the polite pretense that our

09:52:58.580 way of life is just one among many and that asks for permission before it acts and above all an

09:53:06.380 alliance based on the recognition that we the west have inherited together what we have inherited

09:53:13.740 together is something that is unique and distinctive and irreplaceable because this after

09:53:20.820 all is the very foundation of the transatlantic bond acting together in this way we will not just

09:53:28.040 help recover a sane foreign policy. It will restore to us a clear sense of ourselves. It

09:53:36.040 will restore a place in the world. And in so doing, it will rebuke and deter the forces

09:53:42.260 of civilizational erasure that today menace both America and Europe alike. So in a time

09:53:49.500 of headlines heralding the end of the transatlantic era, let it be known and clear to all that

09:53:57.180 this is neither our goal nor our wish because for us Americans our home may be

09:54:04.440 in the Western Hemisphere but we will always be a child of Europe our story

09:54:21.060 began with an Italian explorer whose adventure into the great unknown to

09:54:25.620 discover a new world, brought Christianity to the Americas, and became the legend that

09:54:30.780 defined the imagination of our pioneer nation. Our first colonies were built by English settlers

09:54:36.620 to whom we owe not just the language we speak, but the whole of our political and legal system.

09:54:43.700 Our frontiers were shaped by Scots-Irish, that proud, hardy clan from the hills of Ulster

09:54:49.080 that gave us Davy Crockett and Mark Twain and Teddy Roosevelt and Neil Armstrong.

09:54:55.620 Our great Midwestern heartland was built by German farmers and craftsmen

09:54:59.380 who transformed empty plains into a global agricultural powerhouse

09:55:05.020 and, by the way, dramatically upgraded the quality of American beer.

09:55:12.880 Our expansion into the interior followed the footsteps of French fur traders

09:55:17.640 and explorers whose names, by the way, still adorned the street signs and town names all

09:55:22.880 across the Mississippi Valley. Our horses, our ranches, our rodeos, the entire romance of the

09:55:30.040 cowboy archetype that became synonymous with the American West. These were born in Spain.

09:55:37.300 And our largest and most iconic city was named New Amsterdam before it was named New York.

09:55:43.780 and you know that in the year that my country was founded

09:55:47.640 lorenzo and catalina giraldi lived in casal monferrato in the kingdom of piedmont sardinia

09:55:53.980 and jose and manuela reina lived in sevilla spain i don't know what if anything they knew

09:56:00.440 about the 13 colonies which had gained their independence for them from the british empire

09:56:05.640 but here's what i'm certain of they could have never imagined that 250 years later

09:56:12.220 one of their direct descendants would be back here today on this continent

09:56:17.020 as the chief diplomat of that infant nation.

09:56:21.700 And yet here I am, reminded by my own story

09:56:25.120 that both our histories and our fates will always be linked.

09:56:31.680 Together we rebuilt the shattered continent

09:56:33.760 in the wake of two devastating world wars.

09:56:37.160 When we found ourselves divided once again by the Iron Curtain,

09:56:40.560 the Free West linked arms with the courageous dissidents struggling against tyranny in the East

09:56:46.360 to defeat Soviet communism. We have fought against each other, then reconciled, then fought,

09:56:52.500 then reconciled again. And we have bled and died side by side on battlefields from Kapyong

09:57:01.220 to Kandahar. And I'm here today to leave it clear that America is charting the path for a new

09:57:10.060 century of prosperity. And that once again, we want to do it together with you, our cherished

09:57:17.460 allies and our oldest friends.

09:57:32.080 We want to do it together with you, with a Europe that is proud of its heritage and

09:57:37.320 of its history. With a Europe that has the spirit of creation and liberty that sent ships out into

09:57:43.140 uncharted seas and birthed our civilization. With a Europe that has the means to defend itself

09:57:50.240 and the will to survive. We should be proud of what we achieved together in the last century

09:57:57.000 but now we must confront and embrace the opportunities of a new one because yesterday

09:58:06.040 is over. The future is inevitable, and our destiny together awaits. Thank you.

09:58:14.600 Thank you very much.
