00:00:00.000 We attacked at Cargill Island last night. We knocked out a piece. I said, don't touch the oil
00:00:04.640 because maybe we'll take over Cargill Island. We may take over Cargill Island.
00:00:10.560 It's not a thing they can do about it. So that was a big part of what we targeted.
00:00:14.760 Underground facilities where they were storing drones or missiles, coastal defense sites,
00:00:20.180 radar sites, surveillance sites, anything used to harass shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. So
00:00:24.860 anything they thought they had rebuilt or capability they were using was a target last
00:00:29.500 night. And tonight, if we need to, on your order, Mr. President, we will hit even more and even
00:00:34.160 deeper, because that's the consequence. And we may put down the blockade. We may put it back,
00:00:39.780 the blockade. And it'll only be a blockade for Iran. Anybody else can have whatever they want.
00:00:46.080 Now, of course, they'll drop some mines if they can, you know, if they can do it. But it's hard
00:00:50.440 because we're taking out those little boats now with the same weapon we use to take out
00:00:54.100 the drug lords
00:00:56.240 and the boats coming in by six.
00:00:58.460 Oh, hey, pause.
00:00:59.860 Hey, pause.
00:01:00.500 Back it up to 20.
00:01:02.300 Trump, in a speech, actually,
00:01:03.700 about three weeks ago,
00:01:04.860 started actually repeating
00:01:07.040 what he was briefed on.
00:01:07.780 He said, it's only 18 miles
00:01:09.380 straight to Hormuz.
00:01:10.040 They got all this artillery
00:01:10.840 and missiles,
00:01:11.880 and they don't even need the boats.
00:01:13.720 They can just sit there
00:01:14.460 and shoot the ships
00:01:15.320 anytime they want.
00:01:17.940 Yeah.
00:01:18.980 One of the most armed places
00:01:20.120 in the world.
00:01:22.000 And they're all dug in.
00:01:23.240 And so, Trump, they don't need the mines.
00:01:25.640 You keep talking about putting their ships at the bottom being the checkmate.
00:01:29.260 It's not, and you know that.
00:01:31.080 But then he drifts back into this bullcrap that, oh, they really can't close the strait.
00:01:36.120 Yes, they can.
00:01:38.440 And I don't like sitting there undermining Trump.
00:01:40.740 I need him to succeed.
00:01:41.640 But damn it, recycling bullcrap ain't going to do it.
00:01:44.760 Stop it.
00:01:45.300 Well, I think there are a number of options here, Cargillen being one of them, John.
00:01:48.660 We could attempt to open the strait by force, which would be something I think we're militarily capable of doing, but it would risk casualties.
00:01:58.620 No, we're not.
00:01:59.740 Risk loss of naval assets, perhaps.
00:02:02.560 Not with what we got.
00:02:03.160 We could reimpose the blockade against Iran only, allowing other ships to go through.
00:02:08.440 I don't think the president wants to have to do any of these things.
00:02:11.420 But he's now in a situation where his hope for negotiation or successful negotiation seems off the table now.
00:02:17.440 Let's stop there.
00:02:18.660 And we'll go to the next clip.
00:02:21.220 That's yesterday.
00:02:22.220 As of today, they're back at the table, but the ceasefire is over.
00:02:26.080 Yes, we can stop most of their ships,
00:02:27.840 but they can stop the other ships getting through by shooting them,
00:02:32.920 and then the ships won't come through.
00:02:34.840 And they have unlimited troops, all those mountains right there.
00:02:38.600 It's on record.
00:02:39.640 Real-time, uncensored, unstoppable.
00:02:44.680 AlexJonesLive.com.
00:02:46.480 Take a stand.
00:02:47.940 Share the link.
00:02:50.480 Do you want to fight?
00:02:51.660 You better believe you got one.
00:02:53.880 Now, let's go to Iran and just move on from that.
00:02:56.360 It's big news.
00:02:57.060 It's very important.
00:02:57.600 But we already know most of the pieces and where this runaway train is going, unfortunately.
00:03:03.720 So there's no point to spend an hour on it, but at least 10 minutes or so.
00:03:08.040 So I quit counting at 50.
00:03:10.060 I don't know how many times it is.
00:03:12.440 It's got to be close to 60 times now in the last 133 days.
00:03:15.960 It's pretty much every other day that Trump says, we've removed the regime.
00:03:21.460 We're already victorious.
00:03:22.660 There are fleets at the bottom of the ocean.
00:03:24.840 We've defeated them.
00:03:25.880 We don't need the Strait of Hormuz closed.
00:03:27.340 No deal.
00:03:28.580 They're just losers.
00:03:29.460 They're crazy.
00:03:30.260 And then he'll say, I'm going to obliterate them.
00:03:33.200 We might turn them into a smoking, glowing crater, never to return.
00:03:36.940 And then he'll say, no more deals.
00:03:38.320 And then hours later, no, we're making a deal.
00:03:40.680 We're back at the table.
00:03:41.700 Then he'll say, a deal has been made, like on his 80th birthday here in the UFC.
00:03:45.460 See, the deal's done, war's over, everything's fine.
00:03:48.780 And so oil goes down, stock market goes up.
00:03:51.700 And then the next day, oh, the war is completely back on, stock market goes down, oil goes
00:03:58.580 up, and then a day later, and then you see all this weird insider trading by all of his
00:04:06.160 cabinet people and their sons.
00:04:07.660 I mean, it is just crazy.
00:04:10.420 Absolutely crazy that he tells us this, and it's not true.
00:04:13.420 And every time he says it's over, we won, all of the pro-Israel neocon people that call me a traitor, an enemy, I see the talking point instantly.
00:04:21.620 See, you were wrong, panicker.
00:04:23.320 It's all over.
00:04:24.460 Everything's fine.
00:04:25.240 They've been doing that since four days into the war, 129 days ago.
00:04:29.840 And I'm just saying, hey, the Pentagon said they probably won't fall.
00:04:33.100 They'll close the strait.
00:04:34.060 It'll close global inflation, major problems with the fertilizer, starvation, new third world hordes coming into Europe and the U.S.
00:04:41.420 Israel's doing this
00:04:43.880 because Netanyahu's been convicted
00:04:45.160 he needs to stay in power
00:04:45.940 he needs the war
00:04:46.620 this isn't a good idea
00:04:48.100 shut up traitor
00:04:49.320 they're going to fall
00:04:50.100 you don't know
00:04:50.780 and now 133 days into this
00:04:53.580 we're basically slip walk into this
00:04:57.760 and this yo-yoing whipsaw effect
00:05:00.160 is discredited in the US
00:05:01.580 it's discredited in the State Department
00:05:03.780 that's why Rubio hides out
00:05:05.420 and then lets J.D. Vance
00:05:06.220 try to fix the mess that Trump
00:05:07.560 and Netanyahu and Rubio created
00:05:09.820 they were all for it
00:05:10.800 Vance was against it and then he tries to go fix it and then they say if it fails it's his fault
00:05:15.660 I'm not even defending Vance I'm not his apologist or his cheerleader but thank god he's over there
00:05:21.280 trying to do this him and Whitcoff so and people I know that very close they say no they're
00:05:28.280 legitimately trying this and that's why the vice president's come out a few weeks ago and
00:05:32.960 criticized Israel said stop bombing during the ceasefires you're doing that and when Israel does
00:05:37.920 Trump blames them, but also that Iran and the mullahs, death to America, all that stuff. I
00:05:43.780 don't like them. The point is, is that you can't always get what you want. And I don't even trust
00:05:49.900 the West. You have free elections there and put somebody who isn't a radical in because they want
00:05:53.600 to be able to have it unstable and remove that guy later. Like they put the head of Al Qaeda
00:05:58.340 in charge of Syria two plus years ago. It's just, it's absolutely insane. Or they got rid of Maduro
00:06:05.580 and put his vice president, who really was even worse,
00:06:08.000 and actually ran things, as a commie in.
00:06:10.280 Now they're in talks to let them arrest Raul Castro
00:06:12.980 and all the old senile leadership,
00:06:15.380 and then the guys under him will all be the new dictators
00:06:17.280 working for the U.S. government.
00:06:18.500 I don't like that.
00:06:20.340 That's what our government really would like for us.
00:06:23.980 And that's a fact.
00:06:24.980 That's wrong.
00:06:27.200 Well, you're just not Machiavelli enough.
00:06:28.940 We've had enough Machiavelli.
00:06:30.360 No, I am Machiavelli.
00:06:31.840 I'm very Machiavelli in understanding things.
00:06:34.340 It doesn't mean I have a Machiavellian goal or that I behave in a Machiavellian way.
00:06:38.400 But, oh, I'm more Machiavelli than most of these so-called Machiavelli experts.
00:06:42.120 I can outthink their ass all day long.
00:06:43.620 That's what I do.
00:06:45.020 But somebody's got to be a square dealer.
00:06:47.440 Somebody's got to be a straight shooter.
00:06:49.000 Somebody's got to not be a damn liar.
00:06:53.520 Unbelievable.
00:06:54.280 And that was one thing.
00:06:54.840 Trump in his first administration with foreign leaders, he did what he said he'd do.
00:06:57.020 He had great gravitas, got a lot done internationally.
00:07:00.480 Because he would do what he said he would do.
00:07:02.560 He would follow through.
00:07:04.340 Now it's a mixed bag.
00:07:10.240 So we got serious issues with the economy.
00:07:12.580 So let's get into this.
00:07:13.880 And then I'm going to get into Israel reportedly warned U.S. that Iran devised a new plot to assassinate him.
00:07:18.720 This is a big deal.
00:07:20.540 I'll get to that coming up.
00:07:21.620 But right now, let's go ahead and go to this.
00:07:25.200 Here's Trump yesterday.
00:07:26.600 Trump unleashes total war on Iran.
00:07:28.980 No more deals.
00:07:30.240 Total obliteration.
00:07:31.220 And Brett Hume came out and basically said the same thing.
00:07:34.680 And they did blow up the nuclear reactor.
00:07:36.360 They did blow up the big bridges coming in out of the east, out of China, you know, that run through Pakistan and Afghanistan and all the rest of it.
00:07:45.960 So that is a big move.
00:07:47.500 I mean, that's not just talk.
00:07:48.520 But, and here's a shot of that, U.S. Air Force surgically dismantled the Akhut-Tanek-Khan
00:07:54.980 railway bridge in Iran's Goldstan province, effectively severing a critical land-based
00:08:01.080 artery.
00:08:02.400 We'll throw an HD of that if we can, the map up for people.
00:08:05.520 Leaking Tehran to Russia and China.
00:08:07.500 Well, it was just a random target.
00:08:08.620 It was the bypass valve for the north-south transport corridor, which Tehran has been
00:08:12.520 desperately relying on.
00:08:13.940 The United States also has been getting all the forces ready.
00:08:19.260 We've got video of that to invade Kurg Island and Qashem Island, which is not a good idea.
00:08:24.960 Those are armed camps, but certainly a gear up.
00:08:27.520 They also blew up the main port area and its control terminals.
00:08:30.720 The U.S. hit Iran's Chabahar port overnight.
00:08:34.440 And this footage shows what's left of the maritime control tower.
00:08:38.680 The tower ran ship traffic in and out of Iran's only deep water ocean port.
00:08:42.460 This was what lets bypass the Strait of Hormuz entirely.
00:08:45.500 Taking it out is aimed squarely at Iran's grip on water.
00:08:49.400 So things are moving very, very quickly.
00:08:52.380 So Trump keeps threatening to escalate, and I'm not saying it's good if he does,
00:08:56.700 but then when he does it, that's not good either because then we have no credibility.
00:09:00.620 He did big escalation and hit infrastructure targets.
00:09:04.080 They also hit oil refineries and key areas, and if they take Kirk Island, that will just cut off Iran.
00:09:08.740 But I predict, and experts do as well, they're just going to dig in and keep us cut off, too.
00:09:13.400 It'll hurt them worse than us.
00:09:14.400 But, I mean, they're still not going to fall anytime soon, I don't think.
00:09:17.680 I agree with the Pentagon assessment.
00:09:18.820 So what's the point of this?
00:09:21.680 Well, it's all about face-saving.
00:09:24.440 Trump doesn't want to admit he was wrong.
00:09:26.480 And so it will hurt the recovery and cause inflation that we're already seeing out of control.
00:09:32.480 So let's go ahead and play some of them in the White House yesterday,
00:09:36.620 talking about getting tough, and then going to Britt.
00:09:38.620 Hume. And then I've got some of the videos people are playing, you know, making fun of Iran,
00:09:43.180 making it all a big joke. And, you know, this stuff is funny. And it's funny when Iran makes
00:09:47.540 fun of us. You know, we can all have thick skin. I play their Lego videos. But at the end of the
00:09:50.980 day, this isn't a laughing matter. At the end of the day, this isn't a joke. And this isn't what's
00:09:54.980 going to win wars and stupid stuff, you know, like Durka Durka Muhammad Jihad, even though I do it
00:09:58.580 myself. I'm not judging anybody. So let's play those clips back to back.
00:10:04.140 Last shipping width. So that was a big part of what we targeted. Underground facilities where
00:10:08.440 they're storing drones or missiles, coastal defense sites, radar sites, surveillance sites,
00:10:14.480 anything used to harass shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. So anything they thought they had
00:10:18.400 rebuilt or capability they were using was a target last night. And tonight, if we need to,
00:10:24.020 on your order, Mr. President, we will hit even more and even deeper because that's the consequence.
00:10:28.300 And we may put down the blockade. We may put it back, the blockade. And it'll only be a blockade
00:10:35.880 for a rent. Anybody else can have whatever
00:10:37.700 they want. Now, of course, they'll drop some
00:10:39.660 mines if they can, you know, if they can do it.
00:10:42.240 But it's hard because we're taking
00:10:43.620 out those little boats now with the same weapon
00:10:45.600 we use to take out the
00:10:47.580 drug lords and the
00:10:49.740 boats coming in by six.
00:10:50.960 Hit pause. Back it up, 20.
00:10:54.780 Trump, in a speech
00:10:55.780 actually about three weeks ago,
00:10:57.380 started actually repeating
00:10:59.520 when he was briefed on. He said, it's only 18
00:11:01.620 miles straight to Hormuz. They got all this artillery
00:11:03.320 and missiles, and they don't even
00:11:05.520 need the boats. They can just sit there and shoot the ships anytime they want. Yeah. One of the most
00:11:12.120 armed places in the world. And they're all dug in. So Trump, they don't need the mines. You keep
00:11:18.380 talking about putting their ships at the bottom being the checkmate. It's not. And you know that.
00:11:23.540 But then he drifts back into this bullcrap that, oh, they really can't close the strait. Yes,
00:11:28.920 they can. And I don't like sitting there undermining Trump. I need him to succeed. But
00:11:34.240 damn it. Recycling bull crap ain't going to do it. Stop it. He should be like Churchill and just
00:11:40.060 be straight up about all this and say, hey, we tried to overthrow the regime. I tried to back
00:11:46.020 the people. I said I would help them. We thought they would fall. The Kurds stole the weapons,
00:11:50.220 which he's already said, which is true. We gave them and we've knocked them back big time in
00:11:55.560 their capability. And so we are basically going to sign a deal with them, but then they're not
00:12:05.460 making the deal. And so this is where we are now in a stalemate. And I guess we'll just sit it out
00:12:12.920 with the Iranians. And the Iranians heard truthful statement like that, they probably come to the
00:12:15.720 table. But they know they're hurting him politically with the midterms. And because
00:12:21.400 they're not hearing straight shooting. They think they've got him on the ropes. Instead, Israel wants
00:12:27.700 to go to ground invasion and know Iran's going to assassinate Trump because they know that would
00:12:30.880 accelerate the war. That puts Trump in a lot of danger that they'll kill him or somebody else will,
00:12:34.800 which I've been predicting for years on this scenario. And then when they start hyping that,
00:12:39.580 Trump better look out. I mean, I know what I'm talking about here. Back to Trump.
00:12:44.700 The blockade. And it'll only be a blockade for Iran. Anybody else can have whatever they want.
00:12:51.400 Now, of course, they'll drop some mines if they can, you know, if they can do it.
00:12:55.260 But it's hard because we're taking out those little boats now with the same weapon we use to take out the drug lords and the boats coming in by sea.
00:13:03.820 Think of it. 97 percent. For years, we had fentanyl and all the other drugs coming in from different countries, including Venezuela.
00:13:13.380 And it was, you know, they'd arrest them, they'd bring them to a court, they'd be released and they'd be back in another boat the next.
00:13:20.220 I think, John, the president has now reached his moment of truth on Iran, which is simply
00:13:27.120 this.
00:13:28.120 This is not a regime with whom you can make a deal and expect them to adhere to it, even
00:13:33.180 if there are elements of that regime that would like to make a deal.
00:13:36.220 I think the president hoped that, first of all, after the initial attack, which seemed
00:13:41.100 to be so successful that Iran might come to terms.
00:13:43.940 They did not.
00:13:45.280 So he hit them ever harder.
00:13:46.880 Finally, there were negotiations, as we've been watching, which have absolutely gone
00:13:51.200 nowhere when you get down to it.
00:13:54.060 And now you have these attacks, overnight attacks, by the Iranians yesterday on ships
00:13:59.560 in the Channel, which violates everything that's going, violates the memorandum of understanding,
00:14:04.000 violates the ceasefire, and so on.
00:14:06.280 And I think what we heard the president today suggest that he now recognizes that any kind
00:14:10.440 of an enforceable deal is probably impossible, and he's going to have to deal with what remains
00:14:15.600 there himself. So the president again raised the specter today, potentially taking control of
00:14:21.600 Karg Island, which is the main oil loading facility off the coast of Iran. Here's what
00:14:26.260 the president said at the NATO summit. We attacked Karg Island last night. We knocked out a piece.
00:14:33.040 I said, don't don't touch the oil because maybe we'll take over Karg Island. We may take over
00:14:39.160 Karg Island. It's not a thing they can do about it. That's interesting to me, as I saw a report
00:14:44.360 that a IRGC barracks in nearby Boucher, which would probably be the biggest point of potential
00:14:51.020 reinforcement for Iranian forces, was on fire.
00:14:56.260 Does this pretend potentially a move against Karg Island?
00:14:59.680 Well, I think there are a number of options here, Karg Island being one of them, John.
00:15:04.080 We could attempt to open the strait by force, which would be something I think we're militarily
00:15:11.000 capable of doing, but it would risk casualties.
00:15:13.780 No, we're not.
00:15:15.000 Risk loss of naval assets, perhaps.
00:15:17.800 Not with what we got.
00:15:18.420 We could reimpose the blockade against Iran only, allowing other ships to go through.
00:15:23.720 I don't think the president wants to have to do any of these things.
00:15:26.400 But he's now in a situation where his hope for negotiation or successful negotiation seems off the table now.
00:15:32.720 All right, let's stop there.
00:15:33.820 And we'll go to the next clip.
00:15:36.540 That's yesterday.
00:15:37.480 As of today, they're back at the table, but the ceasefire is over.
00:15:41.280 Yes, we can stop most of their ships.
00:15:43.400 but they can stop the other ships getting through by shooting them,
00:15:48.260 and then the ships won't come through.
00:15:50.120 And they have unlimited troops, all those mountains right there.
00:15:53.740 It's on record.
00:15:55.660 So it's not true.
00:15:57.660 It would take hundreds of thousands of troops to take all the Strait Hormuz
00:16:00.620 and all those mountains and all those bases.
00:16:02.340 That's the Pentagon assessment.
00:16:04.420 Trump didn't like the Army head telling him that, so he fired him.
00:16:06.640 And they're talking about using like 10,000 Army and 5,000 Marines to take it.
00:16:12.260 that is insane. And that's what Israel's pushing, and they're saying they're not going to send in
00:16:17.200 troops. Unbelievable. So there's Brit Hume, and yeah, well, it looks like this goes on forever.
00:16:26.860 Great. And then it destroys Iran economically, and it hurts us, and what is the point?
00:16:32.760 Another endless war that Trump promised not to do. So the Iranians need to make a deal and need
00:16:40.440 to stop being so belligerent because they don't hold all the cards either.
00:16:45.480 The only people holding the cards is Netanyahu by us continuing this on both sides.
