US-Israel missile defence on brink as interceptor stocks near ‘critical depletion’: Report Friday, 27 March 2026 10:35 AM [ Last Update: Friday, 27 March 2026 10:35 AM ] https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/2 ... ion-report
Irsaeli military's Arrow-3 missile defense system is nearing complete depletion, according to reports. (File)
A new report has warned that the United States and the Israeli regime are facing a logistical crisis in their military aggression against Iran, with interceptor inventories projected to run out within days or weeks.
The analysis by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), titled “Over 11,000 Munitions in 16 Days of the Iran War: ‘Command of the Reload’ Governs Endurance,”noted that industrial endurance, rather than battlefield performance, is now shaping strategic decision-making in the ongoing war that entered its 28th day on Friday.
According to the report, Israel’s stockpile of Arrow ballistic-missile interceptors could be fully exhausted by the end of March, leaving the regime only days away from losing its primary exo-atmospheric defence capability.
The United States, on the other hand, is facing a comparable strain on its THAAD interceptor inventory, which could be depleted within a month if current expenditure rates continue.
The high burn rate is driven by sustained Iranian retaliatory attacks that have averaged 33 ballistic missiles and approximately 94 drones daily since the war started on February 28, when the American-Israeli coalition carried out an unprovoked aggression against Iran.
The report notes that damage to radar systems has compounded the strain, forcing air defence units to expend more interceptors per incoming threat to maintain interception probabilities.
During the first 16 days of the war alone, coalition forces are estimated to have used approximately 11,294 munitions at a combined cost of roughly US$26 billion.
Press TV @PressTV "If we start today, there will be one missile base unveiling every week for more than two years!"
The report described this as a “magazine abyss,” where high-end precision munitions are being depleted faster than they can be replenished.
Replenishment timelines present a further strategic challenge. RUSI estimates that replacing the Arrow interceptors expended during the ongoing war could require two to three years, even with accelerated production.
Each Arrow-3 interceptor involves months of manufacturing work, precision propulsion systems, and specialized materials sourced through long-lead industrial contracts.
While Israeli regime officials have publicly rejected claims of an immediate interceptor shortage, the analysis suggests that the pace of expenditure is approaching a structural limit.
The report warned that without sufficient replenishment capacity, even technologically superior missile defence systems risk gradual degradation, increasing the likelihood that missiles and drones will penetrate air defences.
The think tank framed the war through the concept of “Command of the Reload,” arguing that modern high-intensity warfare is increasingly determined by industrial capacity and logistics resilience.
Iranian armed forces have so far carried out 83 waves of Operation True Promise 4, targeting Israeli military and strategic sites as well as US military bases across the region with missiles and drones, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy.
True Promise 4, Wave 83: Iran pounds US, Israeli assets with advanced missiles, drones Friday, 27 March 2026 1:43 AM [ Last Update: Friday, 27 March 2026 1:43 AM ] https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/2 ... les-drones
Iran carried out 83rd wave of Operation True Promise 4 early on Friday. (File)
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced the execution of wave 83 of Operation True Promise 4 in the early hours of Friday, targeting key American and Israeli military installations across the region with missiles and drones.
According to a statement from the IRGC's Public Relations, the operation was dedicated to the "warm-hearted people of the southern strip of the country in the north of the ever-Persian Gulf" and was conducted under the blessed code "Ya Aba Abdullah Al-Hussein (AS)."
The strikes targeted a range of strategic assets belonging to American and Zionist forces.
Among the targets were storage tanks and the oil depot in Ashdod, a military personnel site in the Modi'in settlement, and a US military information exchange center in the region.
The IRGC also struck American military bases at Al-Dhafra and Al-Udeiri, along with maintenance and storage hangars for transport aircraft and drones at Ali Al-Salem Air Base.
Additional targets include fuel tanks for jets and fighter aircraft of American forces, as well as the maintenance and repair hangar for the Patriot missile system at Sheikh Isa Base.
The IRGC statement noted that the operation employed a combination of advanced weaponry, including long-range and medium-range systems, solid and liquid fuel missiles, precision-strike and multi-warhead capabilities, as well as suicide and loitering drones.
It further emphasized that the retaliatory attacks were carried out with "full success by the grace of God."

In its statement, the IRGC highlighted the impact of ongoing operations on daily life for Israeli settlers, noting that "siren-to-siren living and prolonged confinement in shelters have become a daily routine for the Zionists."
The IRGC concluded with a stark warning: "As we said, we will find you, and with God's will, we will make you pay for your despicable deeds."
Iranian armed forces have so far carried out 83 waves of missile and drone strikes with advanced weaponry targeting Israeli military facilities in the occupied territories, as well as US occupation bases and assets scattered across the West Asia region.
The retaliatory operations were launched immediately after the US-Israeli coalition carried out an unprovoked act of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran on February 28, leading to the martyrdom of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, some top-ranking military commanders, and over 170 schoolchildren in Minab.
The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq have also joined the front against the external aggressors, inflicting heavy blows on the enemy.
The retaliatory operations by the Iranian armed forces, as well as the resistance groups, have inflicted heavy blows on the enemy, decimating its military and strategic infrastructure.

Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, the spokesperson for the armed forces, in remarks on Thursday, said that US personnel are now forced to abandon military bases and take refuge in civilian hotels, a move that he condemned as an attempt by the US to use civilian structures for military cover.
"The Americans, who once relied on their military bases to establish a presence, are now hiding in hotels and relying on the civilian areas of our region as a protective shield," Shekarchi said.
"This marks a humiliating retreat and an admission of their inability to defend themselves."
The Iranian Army also continues to inflict severe blows on the enemy. It targeted sensitive locations in the strategic Haifa port on Thursday with a barrage of drones.
“The center for manufacturing and maintenance of various military vessels of the Zionist regime in the eastern Mediterranean Sea that played a key and sensitive role in logistics for the regime’s Navy as well as the huge fuel storage facilities for warplanes in Haifa port were, among others, targeted in the recent drone attack by the Islamic Republic’s Armed forces,” it said in a statement.
Yemen declares readiness for direct military intervention unless US, Israel halt aggression Friday, 27 March 2026 10:03 PM [ Last Update: Friday, 27 March 2026 10:03 PM ] https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/2 ... med-Forces
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces
The Yemeni Armed Forces have warned that they are prepared for direct military intervention if American-Israeli aggression against Iran and the Axis of Resistance continues to escalate.
"We confirm that our hands are on the trigger for direct military intervention," spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a statement on Friday.
The statement came nearly a month into the launch of the United States' and the Israeli regime's latest bout of unprovoked aggression targeting the Islamic Republic, which has run in tandem with escalation of their attacks on regional resistance groups.
Press TV @PressTV Yemen's Ansarullah ready to enter battlefield in support of Iran: Report From presstv.ir 9:00 PM · Mar 25, 2026
According to Saree, in addition to continuation of the escalation, other factors potentially prompting an intervention by the Yemeni servicemen would include other parties' participation in the ongoing aggression, and the use of the Red Sea to carry out hostile operations against the Islamic Republic or any other Muslim country. "We will not allow that," he asserted.
The official said the forces' position stems from “religious and moral responsibility” amid a broader campaign targeting not only the Islamic Republic, but also the Resistance Axis and the wider Muslim world.
The aggression is aimed at realization of the Israeli regime's so-called "Greater Israel" scheme, the official said, pointing to Tel Aviv's ambitions to expand the territories under its occupation to include wider areas across West Asia.
The statement described Yemen’s position as part of the “legitimate right” of regional peoples to confront the Zionist scheme and those trying to carry it out, namely Tel Aviv and Washington.
The servicemen, Saree added, are also motivated by the notion of continued cooperation among the regional countries in the face of such manipulative plots as well as their desire to inflict a "major defeat" upon the aggressors.

Over all, the Yemeni Armed Forces seek to act in line with Sana'a's principled alignment with the broader global Muslim nation, and, would, accordingly, confront any American-Israeli aggression targeting any single Muslim people.
The spokesman, meanwhile, issued a series of demands from the aggressors.
He called on them to respond to diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the aggression, describing the atrocities as "unjust, oppressive, and unjustified" attacks "that harms global and regional stability and security and harms the global economy."
The statement further demanded implementation of the ceasefire agreement between the Israeli regime and the Gaza Strip's Hamas resistance movement. The deal was signed last October in line with a plan devised by the US, which Washington claims is aimed at ending Tel Aviv's war of genocide on Gaza.
The statement also cautioned against any move to increase pressure on Yemen itself by tightening the blockade on the Arab Peninsula nation.
War against Iran part of broader Western war on interconnected resistance fronts by Dr. Firoz Osman Friday, 27 March 2026 11:32 PM [ Last Update: Friday, 27 March 2026 11:32 PM ] https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/2 ... nce-fronts
War today is not confined to a single battlefield. It is being waged across multiple fronts of the wider Muslim world – Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, and now Iran.
These are not isolated confrontations, but interconnected theatres within a broader geopolitical struggle over power, resources, and ideological dominance.
To understand the present escalation against the Islamic Republic of Iran, one must situate it within a longer historical arc – a one defined by intervention, resistance, and the contest over sovereignty in the Muslim world.
1979: The turning point
The modern phase of confrontation with Iran began with the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The popular revolution overthrew the Shah, a monarch whose rule had been secured through foreign intervention. In 1953, a CIA-engineered coup removed the democratically elected prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, after he nationalized the country’s oil industry, previously dominated by British interests.
The Shah, restored to power, ruled through repression, enforced by the SAVAK – a dreaded and secret police apparatus known for widespread torture and brutality.
Resistance to this West-backed regime grew steadily until it culminated in the people’s uprising and the revolution. On 11 February 1979, the Islamic Republic was formally established, fundamentally altering the regional balance of power.
Iran and Palestine: Ideology and alignment
The 1979 Islamic Revolution immediately signaled a shift in Iran’s foreign policy priorities.
Within days, Iran handed over the former Israeli embassy in Tehran to the Palestine Liberation Organization. Yasser Arafat became the first foreign leader to visit post-revolution Iran, symbolizing a new strategic alignment.
Later that year, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini declared Al-Quds Day – an annual global mobilization on the last Friday of Ramadan dedicated to the liberation of al-Quds.
Al-Quds Day functions as more than a symbolic event. It is an avenue of political mobilization, reaffirmation of ideological commitment and a global expression of solidarity. It connects local struggles to a broader vision of unity within the Muslim Ummah.
Iran’s unwavering and unflinching support for Palestine was not framed as optional diplomacy, but as a religious and ideological obligation rooted in the defense of the oppressed worldwide.
The Islamic Revolution of Iran, led by Imam Khomeini, represented more than regime change. It disrupted the architecture of Western influence in the region.
The Shah had been a critical ally, ensuring Western access to oil resources, regional dynamics favorable to Western interests and strategic alignment with Israel.
With his removal, the US, Britain, and Israel lost a central pillar of their regional order.
Two strategic imperatives – control over energy resources and the protection of Israel – have long shaped Western policy in West Asia. The emergence of a defiant, independent Islamic Republic of Iran challenged both.
Containment: Sanctions and isolation
In response, Iran was subjected to sustained economic and political pressure by Western countries led by the US and its allies.
For decades, sanctions have been used as a tool to undermine the Islamic Republic, limit its influence, and undermine internal support for its revolutionary model.
This pattern extends beyond Iran: any state that challenges dominant global structures risks economic strangulation or military confrontation.
Palestine: Siege and resistance
While Iran faced sanctions, Palestine endured apartheid and siege.
For nearly two decades, Gaza has been blockaded – its population confined, monitored, and economically suffocated. Despite these conditions, Palestinian resistance movements developed extensive underground networks, enabling them to organize, train, and sustain their struggle for the liberation of occupied territories.
Support from Iran, alongside coordination with resistance groups such as Hezbollah, contributed to the evolution of this resistance infrastructure.
@PressTV Young Palestinian expresses joy as Iranian missiles fly over occupied Palestine Follow http://t.me/presstv 2:25 PM · Mar 5, 2026
Arab normalization and strategic betrayal
Parallel to Palestinian suffering, several Arab states gradually moved toward normalization with the Israeli regime, betraying the just Palestinian cause.
Countries including Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan established or strengthened ties with Israel, prioritizing regime stability, economic cooperation, and security guarantees.
This shift reflected a broader calculation: survival of ruling elites over solidarity with Palestine. Reliance on Western military protection, particularly through US bases in the Gulf, reinforced this alignment.
October 7: Strategic shock
On October 7, 2023, Gaza-based resistance movement Hamas launched a large-scale operation in the occupied territories, an operation it called Al-Aqsa Flood.
The operation disrupted long-standing assumptions about Israeli military invulnerability and triggered a regional escalation. It also reactivated a network of allied groups, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, Ansarullah (Houthis) in Yemen and armed factions in Iraq.
This constellation, often described as an “Axis of Resistance,” demonstrated coordinated, multi-front pressure against Israel and its regional and extra-regional allies.
Why Iran supports Palestine
Although Palestine is not explicitly named in Iran’s constitution, Iranian leadership grounds its support for the Palestinian cause in broader principles, which include defense of the oppressed, opposition to injustice and commitment to Muslim unity.
Article 152 of Iran’s constitution frames foreign policy around these ideals, providing the basis for its consistent pro-Palestinian stance.
The resistance narrative is reinforced through martyrs, including Ahmed Yassin, Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, Ismail Haniyeh, Yahya Sinwar, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Qassem Soleimani, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Ali Larijani, Ali Larijani and Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
These figures are seen not merely as revolutionary leaders, but as symbols of resistance.
Narratives of sacrifice – such as accounts of Sinwar fighting until his final moments or Ayatollah Khamenei refusing to go underground amid threats to his life – serve to strengthen morale and legitimize the ongoing struggle against the Israeli-American coalition of evil.
Press TV @PressTV From Tehran to Gaza: Deep Strikes in Israel By Iran Restore Hope for Palestinians and Break International Silence. [x] Press TV's Minas Al Jabbour reports from Gaza City
Accounts attributed to figures like Ayatollah Khamenei emphasize a model of leadership rooted in shared risk and moral consistency.
The idea is simple but powerful: A leader cannot call for sacrifice while avoiding it.
This framing draws deeply from Islamic historical memory, particularly the legacy of Imam Hussain ibn Ali (AS), where steadfastness in the face of overwhelming odds is regarded as the highest form of integrity.
War, power, and the future
The current war against the Islamic Republic of Iran – widely deemed an illegal and unjustified war – cannot be reduced to a single issue.
It reflects deeper structural tensions: between independence and external control, between resistance and normalization, between ideological commitment and political expediency.
What remains clear is that the wars across Palestine, Iran, and the wider region are not isolated. They are interconnected expressions of a larger struggle – one that will continue to shape the political and moral landscape of the Muslim world.

Bushehr nuclear plant hit for 3rd time amid ongoing US-Israeli aggression, no damage reported Friday, 27 March 2026 11:14 PM [ Last Update: Friday, 27 March 2026 11:34 PM ] https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03/2 ... ted-States
File photo of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in southern Iran
The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran confirms that the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in the country's south has been struck by a projectile, marking the third attack on the facility during ongoing unprovoked American-Israeli aggression targeting the Islamic Republic.
In a statement on Friday, the AEOI said the projectile hit the plant earlier in the day, saying initial reports indicated that the incident caused no human, financial, or technical damage.
Press TV @PressTV Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant was struck by a missile late Friday night, marking the third reported attack on the facility.
"Preliminary assessments indicate that, despite the projectile hitting the plant’s premises, no sections of the facility were harmed," it said.
The plant is fully operational and contains significant quantities of radioactive materials, the statement noted, warning that any damage to the facility could lead to a serious nuclear incident with irreparable consequences for the region.
"Such actions create serious risks to regional security and safety."
Press TV @PressTV Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant comes under attack again From presstv.ir 9:00 AM · Mar 25, 2026
The statement emphasized that targeting peaceful nuclear facilities constituted a clear violation of international regulations and obligations regarding the immunity of such centers from military attacks.
The AEOI had referenced the attacks in another statement earlier in the day, lamenting inaction on the part of international bodies, especially the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in the face of such "savage acts," and calling the inertia "astonishing."
Also on Friday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi highlighted targeting of Iran's civilian infrastructures during the aggression that began late last month.
He pledged that Iran would be exacting a "heavy price" for the Israeli regime's attacks on the infrastructure, besides reminding that the strikes contracted US President Donald Trump's claim that he had extended a self-described pause in aggression targeting the Islamic Republic.
The invading US-Israeli coalition attacked two major Iranian steel producers on March 27, 2026.
The United States and the Israeli regime have carried out separate attacks on two main Iranian steel companies in the central and southwestern provinces of Isfahan and Khuzestan.
In the continuation of their crimes, the US and Israel attacked parts of the electricity facility of Isfahan’s Mobarakeh Steel Company in the city of Mobarakeh in Isfahan on Friday.
Deputy governor general of Isfahan Akbar Salehi said one person has been killed and two others injured in the attack.
He added that the attack took place when the company was not closed and its employees were working.
He noted that relief and technical teams have been immediately dispatched to the site to investigate the incident and take all the necessary measures.
The Mobarakeh Steel Company has an important position in Iran as it is the largest company in the country and the region producing steel.
In another attack on one of Iran’s most important industrial units, Khouzestan Steel Company was targeted by a US-Israel aerial strike on Friday, which caused damage to parts of its facilities.
Deputy governor general of Khuzestan Valiollah Hayati told reporters that 16 individuals were slightly injured in the attack, who were discharged from a medical center after being treated.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Ministry of Industry, Mine and Trade said expert teams are present at the sites of the two bombed companies to thoroughly investigate the incidents.
He added that an official report would be published soon about the damage inflicted on both firms and plans to reconstruct them.
Based on international regulations and conventions, he emphasized, non-military industrial facilities must be secured from any threat or attack and the strikes against the Iranian companies are not acceptable.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.
The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.
The deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council has warned the US that the fate of any ground invasion of Iran would be a crushing defeat, adding that such a move would entrap Washington in a quagmire similar to the Vietnam War.
Dmitry Medvedev described US actions in Iran as “a major strategic mistake,” stressing that the US regime will pay the price for it.
Amid reports of US preparations for a ground attack on Iran, Medvedev stated that such an operation would have difficult consequences for Washington, noting that Tehran has repeatedly expressed its readiness to confront such a move.
His remarks come amid reports that the US-Israeli coalition is planning to occupy Kharg Island in a bid to force Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz to their vessels.

Medvedev emphasized that a ground incursion could have the same consequences for the United States as the Vietnam War, where America was defeated.
“Getting involved in such ground operations too far from US territory would bring almost the same consequences as Vietnam [war], when Washington sent its forces to a foreign country thousands of miles away, and for ten years, failed to find a dignified solution to exit the conflict,” he said.
The former Russian president also warned that any potential US ground invasion of Iran would have “deadly” consequences for the region.
On Thursday, the commander of the Iranian Army Ground Force, Brigadier General Ali Jahanshahi warned the enemy against any ground incursion, saying it will be "more dangerous and costly" for them.
“The Iranian Army forces are standing firm and steadfast on the frontlines of defense and they will incapacitate the enemy,” he added.

The illegal US-Israeli aggression on Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders.
The Iranian armed forces have responded by launching almost daily missile and drone operations targeting positions in the Israeli occupied territories, as well as US military bases and assets across the region.
They have also blocked the strategic Strait of Hormuz to oil and gas tankers affiliated with the adversaries and those cooperating with them.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Medvedev said that the United States has convinced the Persian Gulf Arab states that it is acting only to defend itself and Israel during its conflict with Iran.
He warned that “the biggest war in the Middle East is still ahead,” and that the region could become a center of instability for centuries.
After the US-Israeli aggression against Iran, the Russian officials noted that several Persian Gulf Arab countries would seek to “establish their own nuclear shields.”
Iran retaliates against strikes on nuclear, steel plants; US soldiers injured | Janta Ka Reporter Janta Ka Reporter Mar 27, 2026
Iran has vowed to exact revenge for strikes on its Bushehr nuclear nuclear and two other steel plants. There are reports of several casualties amongst US troops after Iran struck the Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi fighters have announced their intention to join the ongoing conflict in support of Iran.
Transcript
Transcript Let me start with a breaking news that Iranian missiles have left several US soldiers injured at a military base in Saudi Arabia. This was after Iran fired a ballistic missile targeting the Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia. This attack also destroyed an American fighter jet. Just want to bring you some uh breaking news that we're hearing coming in via our um partners at NBC. And that is that several American service members were injured by an Iranian missile fired at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia today. That's according to two uh US officials. None of the injuries are considered life-threatening. Um at least one aircraft was also damaged in the attack. And uh just to update on the position in terms of injured and killed servicemen, uh we hear that at least Americans have now been injured in the war against Iran. of those were seriously injured. So just to reiterate that breaking news, several American service members were injured by an Iranian missile fired at Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia today. Iranian missile attacks on Tel Aviv have also killed several people. The Israeli authorities have so far confirmed the death of at least one person. Let's now return to today's video. Donald Trump may say that he has postponed his plans to commit a war crime by more days, but his terrorist Israeli master Benjamin Netanyahu has gone ahead to hit Iran's energy infrastructure by targeting the Busher nuclear plant and a couple of other power plants. This has prompted Iranian Foreign Minister Sydas Sarakshi to issue an unusual ultimatum to exact revenge for this ghastly act. I say unusual because it's not that often that you see a usually calm and composed Arachi talk in such an aggressive fashion. Meanwhile, Iran has begun charging tolls for the free passage of ships through the state of Hormuz. So, Israeli terrorists have gone ahead and bombed Iran's Bushier nuclear plant for the third time since th of February when two sociopaths, namely Donald Trump and terrorist Benjamin Netanyahu, decided to illegally attack Iran. Israali terrorists also targeted two Iranian power plants. This, despite criminal Trump announcing that he will not commit a war crime for more days.
This is the bloody twisted world that we live in. A suspected pedophile, who also happens to be the Ppresident of the United States of America, says he is postponing his decision to commit a war crime by more days. And the western governments, and the media outlets, take a sigh of relief. Some even thank him. No one says, "How dare you even think of committing this war crime." But a prominent member of the same rogue regime then lectures Iran for violating international law with regards to the ongoing blockade of the strait of hormuz. I'm talking about Trump's secretary of Tagiri, Marco Rubio.
[Rubio] We're talking about this. There are the some in the Iranian regime that are going around saying that they want to make the straight of Hormuz tolling thing, they want to make it permanent. That's unacceptable. The whole world should be outraged by it. We're impacted by it a little bit, but the rest of the world is impacted by it a lot more, including many of the countries represented today here at the G7. And so, if those countries are deeply impacted by it, all we've said is you guys need to do something about it. We'll help you, but you guys are going to need to be ready to do something about it. Because when this conflict and when this operation ends, that the Iranians decide, well, now we control the straits of Hormuz, and you can only go through here if you pay us, and we allow you to, that's not only illegal under international law and maritime law, it's unacceptable, and that can't be allowed to exist. And so what we've said is that the countries that are most impacted by that should be willing to do something about it, and we'll help them.
While the US and the illegal settler colony of Israel may play good cop bad cop, Iran has now had enough of this game. Iran's chief diplomat sayy Basarakshi has issued a chilling warning to both the rogue regimes of Trump and war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu making it clear that they will have to pay a heavy price for their crimes. He wrote on Twitter and I quote,
[Aragchi] Israel has hit two of Iran's largest steel factories, a power plant, and civilian nuclear sites among other infrastructure. Israel claims it acted in coordination with the US.
Attack contradicts POTUS's extended deadline for diplomacy. Iran will exact heavy price for Israeli crimes."
End quote. The world should listen to this British expert to understand that Iran doesn't fool around when it says it will exact revenge.
[Interviewer] Tell us about this day extension that Donald Trump has brought in. Do do we know why he's decided 10 days and that the deadline that he'd originally put, that he then delayed again, was due to expire tonight. What do you make of this?
{Expert] Yeah. So the deadline itself was if you don't um open up the straits of Hormuz in days, I'm going to hit all your power plants. There's about 400 of them in Iran. From a military perspective, it never looked a credible threat, because if you look at the war so far, when Israel attacks their South Pars gas fields, remember the South Par gas fields, almost the next day, Iran retaliated by hitting more gas fields in the region to hurt the west. When Israel attacked their nuclear facilities, they did exactly the same back. And Iran just simply said, "If you attack our power plants, which allow desalination, it's not just about military means. This is actually affecting the population, we will do exactly the same." And the desalination plants upon which most of the Middle East are absolutely crucial. That would stop them almost in a heartbeat. So, it didn't feel a credible threat anyway. I think this deadline's come up. This is all part of President Trump trying to find ways, some leverage. So pushing it out by 10 days, it doesn't feel as if Iran's asked to do that. It feels like Trump is just trying to buy some time. And I suspect that deadline will just fade away into the distance.
American political scientist John Marsh has similar warnings for the US and the rogue settler colony.
[Mearsheimer] Furthermore, it can destroy, literally destroy, most of the Gulf states, because those states depend on desalination plants, and they depend on oil infrastructure, and those targets are easy for the Iranians to hit. And if the Iranians decided that they were going to go after a country like Saudi Arabia, and take out all their desalination plants, and take out their oil and energy infrastructure, they could basically wreck Saudi Arabia as a functioning society. Then there's the whole question of the Israelis. The Israelis are running out of defensive missiles. The Iranians obviously have lots of missiles. They can do enormous damage to Israel. I don't think they can do to Israel what they could do to countries like Saudi Arabia or the UAE, but there's no question that they can do enormous damage to Israel.
And yet Trump would like to delude himself by claiming that the Iranians were keen to talk to him for a peace deal. There was another sign of Trump completely losing his sanity today when he referred to the state of Homos as the state of Trump.
[Trump] We're negotiating now, and be great if we could do something, but they have to open it up. They have to open up the Strait of Trump. I mean, Hormuz. Excuse me, I'm so sorry. Such a terrible mistake. The fake news will say he accidentally said -- no, there's no accidents with me, not too many. If there were we'd have a major story.
Okay we all know that Trump is mentally deranged and even depraved so there is nothing new in him making such crazy utterances. But what about the crowd who found this funny, and even clapped? This gives you an idea about the kind of people who are now controlling American political and corporate class.
Though there is a silver lining amidst the environment of doom and gloom in the US. A new poll now shows Trump losing support even amongst the MAGA base.
There was this slew of initial polls that came out, and the Fox News poll was the one initial poll that did not show that the war was unpopular. That has changed. Trump has lost his one good poll when it comes to the Iran war, because just take a look here. Net approval rating of US military action in Iran. In early March, it broke even, right? zero points. What that essentially means is 50% approved, 50% disapproved. But down it goes. Look at this. Now, the net approval rating for the US military action in Iran, negative 16 points. Just 42% of the American public approve of it, 58% disapprove. So now we're looking at basically every single poll in which the clear plurality, or majority of Americans, disapprove the US military action in Iran. Trump can no longer point to a poll that actually shows that among the general public at large, that the American public actually approve of this military action.
Q. So this is the overwhelming for the Iran war when it comes to how President Trump is handling Iran in general. Yeah. What do we see?
A. So you see this negative 16 points. You think that's bad, but look at Trump's handling of it. It's even worse. Oh my. Okay. Trump's net approval rating of Iran. Look at this overall, 28 points underwater. Very, very unpopular. Donald Trump's actions are when it comes to Iran. And look at those in the center of the electorate. Look at independents. Negative 58 points. Negative 58 points underwater Donald Trump is when it comes to Iran. And of course, this has been dominating, dominating politics over the last month. And so what we see here is the US military action. Iran not popular in a poll. It used to be actually not so bad. And Donald Trump's handling of it even worse. And those in the center, you can barely find any independents at this point who approve the US military action in Iran.
Meanwhile, news agency AP or Associated Press is reporting that Iran has begun charging tolls to ships wishing to have their vessels pass through the state of Formos. And the manner in which the Iranians are doing this would be infuriating for the Americans. First, ships wanting to go through this route without being bombed have to take their vessels under the supervision of an IRGC vessel to the Iranian side of the water and then collect a code generated by the Iranian authorities. They then have to use this code to make the payment in Chinese currency before being allowed to move safely. And this is not enough. The Iranian parliament is considering passing a bill which would give legal status to this practice thereby completing the control of state of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, Trump and terrorist Netanyahu have another headache to deal with. Yemen's Houthis or the Ansarallah fighters today announced their intention to join the war and open a new front. So, good luck to the so-called mighty American military and Israeli forces, and good luck to free and safe maritime navigation in the Red Sea.
Trump and his depraved Israeli master may wish for an Iranian uprising against the Islamic Republic, but what we are witnessing on the ground is the complete opposite.
I will leave you with this video of Iranians wishing peace on their leaders for choosing to stand up to war criminals and international bullies.

Houthis open new front in support of Iran; Trump’s viral comments on Saudi King | Janta Ka Reporter Janta Ka Reporter Mar 28, 2026
Yemen's Ansar Allah fighters, also known as the Houthis, today formally joined the ongoing conflict in support of Iran as they targeted Israeli cities. Meanwhile, Iran claimed to target US soldiers hiding in UAE hotels. Elsewhere, Donald Trump's questionable comments about the Saudi monarch has triggered massive backlash on social media. Rifat Jawaid explains what the Houthis' involvement in the ongoing conflict means for the US military campaign against Iran.
Transcript
As I reported last night, Yemen and Sadulah fighters, also known as the Houthis, have formally joined the war in support of Iran against the Americans and Israeli terrorists. They fired a series of missiles today, hitting American and Israeli targets. Then two more significant developments have taken place in the last hours and this should put the Iranian retaliation in proper perspective. This should also explain why Iran is earning plaudits from around the world and how the Iranians heroics have ended the Shia Sunni divide in the Muslim world. The other two developments that I just talked about are related to crazy utterances by Donald Trump. He had just confirmed that the Iranians indeed had bombed the hell out of American aircraft carrier, the largest in the world, USS Gerald Ford. And then Trump has abused the Saudi king from a public platform. It will be interesting to see how the Saudi crown prince reacts to the public insult of his father by this deranged occupant of the White House. This would be the broad focus of my video today. Also in my video, two clips from Iran just brilliantly capture the bravery of the Iranians. So please stay tuned. Last night I told you that the Houthis were about to get involved in the illegal war imposed on Iran. Earlier today, the Ansarah fighters announced their active participation as they fired a series of missiles against the Israelis. The group spokesperson Yasari released this statement.
Now this would be a massive escalation. Israel will now have to defend itself on three fronts. The Iranians in Iran, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and now the Houthis in Yemen. There's additional worry for the global business. Now the blockade of the state of Hormos is already causing unimaginable pain to households across the world. What if the Houthis embark on their renewed blockade of the Red Sea? They have suddenly given a massive boost to Iran in their war of survival. The Iranians have earned plaudits even from people who otherwise never supported them. And I'm astonished to see the positive sentiments even in India amongst the far-right Hindu groups and far-right Hindu media. Suddenly even they want Iran to win. What has contributed to this remarkable change is Iran's ability to give grief to two of the most powerful armies in the world. As I said before, Iran was never a match to either the settler colony or the US military, let alone facing them together. And yet, the way this country has stood firm in their resolve to defeat the aggressors has been truly phenomenal. Hence, Iran's new fan base even amongst its adversaries. There's also been a seismic change particularly in the Muslim world which always remain divided between Shia and Sunnis. Iran is a predominantly Shia country while most Arab nations are Sunnis. Iran's ability to take on the US and Israel head on has miraculously ended that divide. More and more Sunnis are identifying themselves as Shia now. One of my Sunni friends said that if the bravery shown by Iran is a Shia thing, then even I'm Shia.
Elsewhere, Trump has made two massive pronouncements and both will come to haunt him. First, he almost confirmed that the recent fire at the USS Gerald Ford was caused by the Iranian attack. Many didn't believe when the Iranians first made this claim. Now listen to Trump. He confirms everything.
[Trump] Now, you know, we had an attack of 101 a few days ago. 101 missiles shot at a very valuable thing that we had floating on the water, namely an aircraft carrier, biggest in the world. And they were shot, 101, going 2,500 miles an hour. And out of the 101 missiles shot, 101 missiles were shot down. And the general, there was a general, a professional general, really good. And he said, "We were all set for them. We knew there was a problem when we noticed at 1:00 in the morning, every 32 seconds, another airplane, a very fast plane, was coming off the deck of an aircraft carrier." That's actually the biggest aircraft carrier in the world. "Then every 32 seconds, boom, boom, boom. And it was 1:00 in the morning. So we said, 'Okay, I think we're in trouble.' But they were ready for us, Johnny. And we were ready." He said, "We were ready, and then they hit us, and they came from 17 different angles. They were here, they were there, then we ran for our lives. It was over."
He then went on to insult the Saudi king in front of top names in business and politics from around the Middle East and the world. I can't understand how the Saudi Arabia as a country will respond to such public humiliation of their king. More importantly, how will MBS the crown prince respond to this crazy utterance by Trump? This guy is completely deranged.
[Trump] A short time ago, a man that we just discussed, the king, the future king of Saudi Arabia, and I also love the king of Saudi Arabia. What a man he is. When I was there, we bonded. He would grab me to get up. He was a little frail at the time, and this was a long time ago, and he's still doing well. And he'd grab my arm to get up when I was sitting next to him. And they said, "That's the only time he's ever grabbed anybody. He would grab me all the time." And I said, "I think he likes me." And he did like me. and he still likes me and he's a great man and say hello to him. He's a great guy with a great son. But a short time ago we were together and he looked at me and he said, "You know, it's amazing. One year ago you were a dead country. Now you're the hottest country anywhere in the world." He didn't think this was going to happen. He didn't think he'd be kissing my ass. He really didn't. He thought he'd [I'd] be just another American president that was a loser, where the country was going downhill. But now he has to be nice to me. You tell him he better be nice to me.
This should give some food for thought to Saudi Arabia which pledged to invest trillions of dollars in the US. We now know how he treats I mean Trump treats his so-called friends. Compare this to his attitude towards his Jewish donors such as Miriam Adelson. This horrible woman gave him just $200 million during the election campaign. And in return, Trump literally allowed her to handpick individuals for various cabinet roles and then decide the US foreign policy on the Middle East. If the Arab world doesn't become wiser now, then they themselves would be responsible for the untold misery in time to come.
Meanwhile, Israeli terrorists have continued to showcase their barbarity against babies, medical professionals, and journalists. This morning, Israeli human devils slaughtered two journalists, namely Fatma Fatuni from Al-Mmain TV and Ali Shuer from Almanar TV in South Lebanon. Only this month, Fatma had reported how Israeli terrorists had massacred seven members of her family. This is what Israelis are good at. Killing babies, medical professionals and journalists and bombing schools, hospitals and ambulances. They are human devils and walking monsters for a reason.
That said, the IRGC has now claimed to target US soldiers who were hiding in posh Dubai hotels. The spokesperson of the Kathmul Amba Brigade claimed to have caused more than 500 casualties.
Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi i had revealed how US soldiers had left their bases across the Gulf region and hidden in hotels, thereby using civilians as human shields. In one instance, a hotel had even a booking of a US soldier, fearing safety for other guests. The fact that the Iranians have been able to locate these soldiers says a lot about the intelligence gathering skills. Not too long ago, Iran had urged residents in the Gulf region to send the location of these soldiers to the IRGC. This was deemed another innovative and unconventional warfare technique employed by Iran.
I will leave you with two viral videos that document the Iranians bravery so brilliantly. In the first video, an IRGC soldier is recording a selfie while sipping pomegranate juice. In the background, a missile is being fired to hit American and Israeli targets. Another video shows an Iranian girl fearlessly using a swing on the beach of the estate of Hormuz moments after the American and Israeli bombs had wre havoc at the nearby Bandarabbas port.

Iran DESTROYS Saudi Air Base in MASSIVE Blow to Trump & Israel | Mohammad Marandi Danny Haiphong 49 minutes ago #iran #trump #Saudiarabia
Mohammad Marandi joins from Iran to react to the massive retaliation on US bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as attacks on Tehran's infrastructure spiral into all out war.
Transcript
Welcome everyone. Welcome back to the show. It's your host Danny Hi Fang and I am joined by a good friend of the show, Professor Muhammad Morandi. Professor Randi, thank you so much for joining me again today. Thank you very much for inviting me, Danny. It's always a pleasure. Of course. So, let's get started right away then with what has happened over the last hours since this show was last on air. We have to talk about the uh I I mean last over the last hours Iran has hit back very hard on Israeli attacks and US attacks on its infrastructure including uh nuclear plants and uh steel plants and uh the big attack that the United States mainstream media is actually reporting on is the one that happened on Prince Sultan air base about troops have been wounded s some very seriously but the big story is what Iran hit three KCtankers. I think that's up to eight now destroyed by Iran. But but also a big uh uh point uh to note is they also destroyed an Ecentury Awoks aircraft which is critical to the United States to be able to uh not only uh uh wage offensive operations but also uh defensive ones include like detecting air defense systems. So uh uh Paris Morandi uh if you want to react to this because it wasn't even just Saudi Arabia. There was also there's also big fires in Kuwait right now at the international airport at a steel plant there. The UAE just had um you know they're talking about one of their big aluminum factories completely on fire and inoperable. So Iran has hit back very hard. They said hundreds of projectiles have gone over the Gulf in is and Israel. uh talk about what's happened in the last hours and why is it significant especially now the mainstream media acknowledging the destruction in Saudi Arabia. Well Danny, you don't seem to ever get your priorities correct first. Everyone has to press the like button, I think. What was it? The Yeah, this is not the first time I'm You know, you're you're you're losing your ability to You're right. You're right. Prioritize. You heard him. Hit the like button. All right, Randy, to you. Well, you know, first I have to just repeat that um Iran didn't start this war. Uh you wouldn't notice that if you were watching MSNBC, Fox News, the BBC or CN Oh, first it doesn't matter. Okay. But um and also Iran Yeah. So, Iran does not want to escalate either. And Iran only strikes uh when they're struck first. And yesterday they bombed uh steel this the steel industry in Iran. They mur they murdered workers working in the factory and uh and when Iran said it's going to retaliate and strike uh infrastructure in the Arab regimes that are hosting US forces and facilitating the war against Iran, Iran first warned people to leave. And this is what happened on previous occasions too. Every time Iran warns people to leave whereas the uh the Epstein coalition, they just bomb and uh slaughter and move on. and western journalists uh they have no concern legacy media journalists have no concern for Iranians just as they don't have any concern for the Lebanese and of course the Gazins and now we know that uh you know they they've struck Iranian national radio and television many times. Why? Because they don't want the world to know what's going on in Iran. Just as they're now murdering uh journalists in Lebanon today they mur murdered two very famous journalists. Yes. A young woman from al-meadin TV. Her brother was earlier mur who was also murdered. And then a very uh well-known and uh another very courageous journalist uh from almanar and they murdered them because they want to do to south Lebanon what they did to Gaza and they don't want the world to know because western journalists are not going to do anything about it. They are part of the problem. They are foot soldiers for genocide as they've always been. They'll say these are Hezbollah strongholds when they're bombing, you know, apartment blocks and so that people would, you know, not understand what's going on. So, they've been bombing, they've murdered a large number of medics. Apparently, they bombed, they murdered medics so far in Lebanon during the last couple of weeks. So, they're t targeting journalists and medics. And of course, we have to remember that's what they did in Yemen. They bombed a newspaper in Yemen during the war. They massacred a large number of reporters at a newspaper. And of course in in Gaza, we remember very well that they murdered about journalists there in including one another one rather recently. So the West and the Israeli regime don't want the world to see the truth. And I just thought that that is we should have our reminder that as we speak there are some people very courageously on the ground trying to uh expose the truth and they are being slaughtered like everyone else. And there are others who are trying to save people to save kids and they bomb their ambulances just as they bomb ambulances in Iran and they bomb hospitals and they bomb uh the um Red Crescent Society and um which is the sister organization of the Red Cross and you know this is this is what we're dealing with. Yesterday they also bombed um last night they bombed a very important university in Thran and uh before they bombed another university, another important university in Esfahan. So they're targeting civil society. They're targeting the youth, the younger generation, the future. And of course they began with the slaughter at the Minab school where they killed or maybe even more. Someone told me it's or so. I don't know. I remember They slaughtered little girls and it was intentional because it was the first wave. All those first uh um targets were well vetted. You know, they were vetted. They been working on this for months. Uh if someone if they carried out such an attack today, I I would say it's possible, maybe not plausible, but it's possible that some officer in a rush to find a new target made a m big mistake. hard to believe, but uh you know because schools are schools and they're on all apps, Iranian and foreign. But in any case, it was an intentional strike on those kids. The school was well established. So they are targeting the future of Iran. They're targeting civil society. They they they bomb um um police stations, ordinary police stations because they want chaos. they they want the the fabric of society torn apart. So what we have right now is uh though is despite all this is failure. The United States and Israeli regime have lost this uh uh what was it? Operation Epstein fury or you know whatever. Epic epic fury. Epic failure. Epstein fury. Epste. Yeah. Whatever. um they've lost and Trump wants out, but Israel won't let him. The Zionist lobby in the United States won't let him let him. Just like what um uh what's his name? Joe Kent said in his resignation letter and in his subsequent interviews. It's clear as day what's happening. Trump wants a way out, but the Zionists won't let him. And that's why they're dragging the global economy towards a cliff. And soon it may be it may go right over the cliff because if the United States attacks and there's a good chance that there's a strong chance that they will attack tonight and try to occupy islands and or territory on the coast or carry out operations deep inside Iran with their special forces. The Iranians will retaliate. We already saw you explained how uh when yesterday they struck Iranian critical infrastructure, Iran's Iranian industries, the Iranians struck back. They began today and hit hard and in Kuwait and in in the Emirates and they destroyed their aluminum production there or badly damaged it. Uh and this will probably continue. But uh and it you know so when but when earlier on when the they just struck Iran's gas critical gas infrastructure Iran hit back very hard and hammered and the Emirates in Saudi Arabia. So much so that the we sort of see them becoming more ambivalent. They're they're not so purely uh pro pro- war. uh they're they're so but in any case um they failed and Netanyahu is pushing and therefore we're probably going to get escalation and I think we're moving closer and closer to the abyss because the global economy is heading towards catastrophe. There's no doubt about that. The gas crisis is bigger than the oil crisis and the petrochemical and f fertilizer crisis is bigger than the gas crisis. So the the oil crisis is the tip of the I mean not the worst part. And since Yemen has now entered the war, it's unclear what's going to happen in the Red Sea. Will the Saudis be allowed to export oil through the Red Sea because super tankers can't go through the um Suez Canal and only smaller ships can go there. And if they want to go to Asia, it's a very long journey. They'd have to go around Africa. So, and they may and yet may strike the the uh smaller tankers or the larger tankers or oil and gas facilities in Saudi Arabia or they may invade Saudi Arabia. No one knows what's going to happen. They may they shut the the Red Sea to all shipping and so it's you know this escalation will only make things worse for the world and uh Iran and the axis of resistance have no option but to reciprocate because this is a war for survival. The United States is ruthless. We've seen that at the you know with the bombing of uh civilians bombing carpet bombing Thran. They just bombed very nearby here. Probably the closest uh strike so far that I've experienced and large numbers of explosions. Uh they carpet bomb, they you know they massacre, they they kill kids. Uh, I posted a picture of, you know, one of those scene, one of those pictures that we've seen a lot in Gaza, but two kid a kid's feet sticking out from under the the the the a building that's that's collapsed. You just see a foot of a little kid. This is what the West is all about. This is what Western civilization uh at least the way in which Western elites have uh pushed it, this is what it's all about. the Epstein class they you know they have a thing for kids too so it's not unexpected not surprising but the point is that Trump will not succeed and it's all these are mis it's miscalculation after miscalculation during the 10-day war they said Iran's going to collapse they lost them now a much bigger war they thought Iran would collapse didn't collapse then after four or five days they said they're running out of missiles running out of drones now they're hitting harder than every Iran is hitting harder than ever before. So everything has been based on miscalculation. For a month now, Iran has held its own against the in the collective west and their regional proxies, the the full capacity of the US Air Force and all these proxies that are at the service of Trump from Erdogan to Abdullah and Jordan to these you know these little uh regimes in the Persian Gulf with all their wealth and it's so if they escalate it's obvious that there it's going going to be they're going to get the same results. More dead people, more dead civilians, more dead soldiers, and perhaps, you know, uh American soldiers taken captive. Who knows? But um but ultimately Iran will have to strike back and destroy more of those key facilities in on the other side of the Persian Gulf. Yeah. I mean, I think there's a pattern here, Professor Marti, that you're you're pointing out. uh there's this uh continuation of escalation despite uh major setbacks for the United States and for Israel, but it keeps going forward escalations. And when I saw that the US with Israel with the US's coordination struck Iranian infrastructure, economic infrastructure immediately, I mean, if anyone's been watching this show, anyone's been watching you, anyone's been watching what's really going on, even mainstream media can admit this. uh what happens is that Iran has to hit back uh in order to uh create not an equal to but an even more severe consequence to stop this kind of behavior and that means that you hit economic infrastructure more economic infrastructure is going to be hit on your side leading to even more catastrophic consequences for the global economy and I just want to read off some of the things that Iran has hit just in the last to hours here um I'll just read off first the what they hit in in you know uh uh overnight. Uh not just the you know Awok aircraft or the KCs also six LCUs which are these uh landing craft units uh part of the US Navy. They sunk those. There was an F-that had to uh emergency land as they call it. Uh they've also hit as you said Preston that they're going to hit back at infrastructure as well that Amiradis's global aluminum plant it's a massively important one in uh UAE's economic zone and as we speak I think missiles are firing over the UAE. So uh uh over and over and over again press Mar this is the pattern here. It's the United States and Israel go further in attacking uh certain especially civilian sites in economic targets and Iran says well we need to retaliate and they do and that's causing this global economic catastrophe which um is very much here and it's only going to get worse. Yes. And you know that I think people really don't understand and neither do I really because it's so mind-boggling what is can possibly happen but we don't really understand how bad the situation is for the global economy. The this lack of energy um is just going to is beginning to uh be be beginning to show itself. prices are going up, but when there but when the real shortage hits, because it takes weeks for the energy supplies to go from the straight of Hormos or the Persian Gulf to its destinations and then when that natural gas, that LNG that that was already on its way or had reached those destinations, when they are gradually depleted, that's when uh it's going to hit harder. And I think that that we're going to see this begin uh in so so they say. I'm not an expert, but I've read around that it's going to get worse in a week and then within weeks is going to get very bad. And that you know and and if they push and the assets in the Persian Gulf are destroyed, the tankers and and the the oil and gas installations and the electrical power plants and so on, then that's permanent. then the the straight of hormones becomes irrelevant. That's the problem that Trump cannot find a solution to. Let's say he takes an an island. Let's say he takes two island. Let's say he takes three islands. Let's say he takes territory. Let's say he carries out some attack deep inside Iran with commandos and succeeds or doesn't succeed. The Iranians are going to retaliate. And that retaliation will mean that these assets will be badly hit. And so the permanent damage will be uh visible for everyone to see and then Iran may continue striking and striking until the Americans back off. And then what if we do have an agreement? What if what if what if the United States agrees with Iran's demands that uh the situ that uh the facts on the ground change? If there's no oil, if there's no natural gas, if there are no tankers, then the straight of hormones is irrelevant. And that's when we know that the global economic depression is going to last for many years. And uh the consequences are mind-boggling. Well, the United States also has to be very much aware that Iran right now is exporting essentially what it was in terms of oil before the war if not more uh now especially at that it's asserted successful control over the straight of Hormuz and so that only makes the situation worse it seems mori because they know I mean the New York Times admitted this recently all these bases have essentially been destroyed whatever's left is now being hit as we saw with Prince Sultan air base last night. But uh they have to know that uh this economic successful economic retaliation by Iran uh has uh only meant that now the US in Israel are desperate to try to break that asserted control by Iran leading to miscalculations again like trying to invade Iranian territory to cut it off from its oil which now uh all the mainstream media publications are saying watch out Iranian drones, Iranian missiles Iranian troops, I think they promised a million are waiting for them, uh will confront uh these several thousand, whatever it's going to be uh should they try to land ashore. So, this is uh I don't know, President Ro, your comment. It just seems like a disaster in the making and one that this one will be tough to hide. They're trying to hide the damage, especially to uh US troops on the bases, but this one will be difficult to hide, I think. What's your thoughts? And the and the US troops are what what are they going to be remembered for? Dying for Epstein. I mean, that's that's what it's all about. It's the the Zionist and Epstein class. It's all for the Israeli regime, not for the Americans. Trump is either, you know, badly compromised or whatever the reasons are. This of this is not in the interest of the American people. And when things get worse, it's going to get very bad for Trump, too. I, as I said, this is only the beginning. And the not only can the Iranians escalate much further than what they've done so far, and they're holding back because Iran does not want the global economy to implode, but it's not just Iran, it's Yemen, right? It's not just Yemen, it's Iraq. The Iraqis can move into the Arabian Peninsula tonight. They can take over Kuwait in hours. And this time around, no one is going to support Kuwait. Yeah. Iran will support Iraq. And Yemen can go deep into Saudi Arabia. Iraq in two. And who's going to stop them? The uh the like two man army of Qatar or the man army of Emirates. I mean, their populations are the size of a small city. their population combined is the size is the size of a small city in Iran. So I don't think the Americans quite understand what they're up against. And maybe they do, but Trump is desperate and he's gambling and he's just he he can't retreat because they won't let him. But this is this war is about Netanyahu. It's about uh the Zionism. There's nothing else in it for anyone. There's there's no positive side for the United States. And despite the fact that we're being harmed, despite the fact that they're bombing our industries and our schools and our hospitals, but Iran is emerging stronger. Iran will emerge stronger. All because when the global economy goes down, it's as if you're bombing all the countries. When the factories stop working, you don't need to bomb them. You've already destroyed business. What the Israelis and the Americans are doing is that they're effectively bomb carpet bombing the entire world. Yeah. Because when the energy prices go through the roof, things will shut down. People will lose their jobs. Those factories may just be landmarks after that because there's no there will be no consumers. It'll be not they'll go bankrupt. So this is this is the state of affairs. But Iran, the people are united as we've always known. I mean known as if people if anyone from Western governments was listening, anyone's seriously with serious with influence, he would have known or she would have known that this would happen and they would have prevented this or have stopped it by now. It's I it was clear as day that this is where basic we knew that Iraq would not Iran would not collapse. And also remember Danny remember after we had this discussion multiple times about Hezbollah. Yes. And they were they were the western media was saying Hezbollah is a spent force. It's been defeated. It's been diminished. and even supporters of the resistance and of course the the the Salafies and the Wahhabis who worked with Americans to destroy Syria and now we're seeing you know their their effort the fruit of their efforts that they've been exposed. They were like gloating over the martyrs of Hezbollah and ridiculing them after the ceasefire. Even though Hezbollah did an extraordinary job in drawing forces away from Gaza a as half of the % of the country was against them. The United States has enormous influence in Lebanon. Yeah. And of course now with Syria in the US camp and even being encouraged to attack Lebanon, which they didn't do because Iran and the resistance in Iraq threatened them. But the Salafis and Wahhabies were gloating after the ceasefire. Well, look at Hezbollah today. All those uh predictions and all those analyses about the resistance in Lebanon turned out to be utterly false. Hezbollah is hitting the Israeli regime hard. And uh Iran's Iran has we've been told has been they've run out of missiles. They're hitting hard. Everything that the West says is based on wishful thinking. They've been doing that for decades. So when they say the Iranians mass murder peaceful protesters and all that nonsense, it's it's basically propaganda to to reinforce the narrative that this is a regime and it's unpopular. Fine. You can give tell the world that this is true and many many people will believe it. But you shouldn't believe it yourself because when you believe your own propaganda then you your your policies don't they're not based on reality. They're based on your fake narratives and then you hit a brick wall. So they hit a brick wall in Iran. They hit a brick wall in Lebanon. They hit a brick wall in Iraq. Look at Iraq today. Iraq is finally being liberated from NATO and the United States. Finally being liberated. The people are rising up and they're kicking them out. This is the this is the result of Trump's policies. And then there's Yemen. So yeah, you know, Western and of course in Gaza, Hamas is still an Islamic jihad. They're still uh they're still uh there and the Israelis if they you know they after two and a half years of genocide, they haven't eliminated them. So this the whole myth of that the axis of resistance has been broken is nonsense. And with regards to Syria, many people who supported this dirty war in Syria, they're waking up to the truth and that is unifying people across the region and beyond. There are those who keep their eyes closed. They were the ones who cooperated with the Americans. They got money from Qatar. They're funded by Qatar and the Saudis and the Emiratis. Yeah. As long as that money flows, they'll continue to say that this was a blessed revolution. But uh when that money disappears, and it quite possibly will with this current situation in the Persian Gulf, then maybe they'll move on to some other form of business with all the money that they've gathered. Yeah. I mean, we heard all of this talk for so many months and months and months and years really for us from our audience to be having these conversations of the Axis resistance being dead. But what looks like what actually is crumbling is as you call it the axis of Epstein. I mean we are seeing uh the Gulf countries. You mentioned Kuwait. No one's going to go save Kuwait. It's not sure what's going to be really left of Kuwait very soon because not only has all of their military infrastructure, they've been hit arguably the hardest by Iran over this period. Uh their military infrastructure has been absolutely devastated. Whatever that was, the the resistance in Iraq has also hit them. And by the way, it's not, you know, the thing is that these are all dictatorships. Y right with Western support. Yeah. When their economies collapse and the West obviously does not care about them because their only priority is Israel and we saw even Korea, South Korea, you know, the Americans impose a air defense system there which hurt Korean Chinese relations. They imposed it on the Koreans and after they all that damage that they did to Korea, they took it away from them and gave it to the Israelis. So these regimes in the Persian Gulf when they no longer have see that and they no longer have the the the West no longer has the ability to keep them in power and when they no longer have the wealth to enforce their um um will on the people and to appease others through that wealth then are they going to remain in power? Will the people come to power? Will we have the same family dictatorships in the Emirates and Batar and Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and uh in Kuwait in the years ahead? Who knows? Yeah. I mean, we can just look at the damage uh Professor Mandi in terms of this this crumbling of the axis I've seen. You had the mayor of Kira Shimona and Israel absolutely in tears, literally in tears because of what both Iran and Hezbollah have been doing uh over the last several days uh in and around the area of central and northern Israel. Now there's also uh of course the there's something called the Merkava massacre. Now over a tanks I was March th tanks uh nearly if not over there varying numbers going around but those are $million each. Chzbah has just put uh uh has just put out hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Israeli tanks out in just a matter of weeks. I mean, this is it's an incredible thing uh to see. And they're firing missiles into Israel and they're confronting uh whatever is left of Israeli troops. The IDF chief is saying that the Israeli military is on the verge of collapse. And you had Donald Trump himself talking to a bunch of financeers, you know, the Wall Street uh section of of the Epstein class. He said MBS has to kiss his beehive. I mean, this is just utter degradation and humiliation. These Gulf states, uh, we've had guest other guests on this show like Scott Ritter say could be regime change for them rather than regime change on Iran. And that that lit that really looks like Bahrain, their massive protests right now. It looks like there's that's the direction things are going in. And then you add in a ground operation. I mean this sounds suicidal but yet they keep going. So my question to you Professor Randi is this. Um what do you make of those who say that uh the is Israel and the United States do not care about all this damage that they're taking as long as they can inflict significant damage on Iran even if they have to stop at some point soon. They'll just do it again and hopefully that that accumulated damage will eventually lead to the outcome that they want. Allah Syria. What do you say to that? because that seems to be where some who look at this uh a bit more uh pessimistically maybe uh point to. Yeah, I thought that they were out to liberate the Iranian people and uh these analy and we now see like on CNN and MSNBC and these outlets, they're just like Fox News and they bring on these analysts who talk about what will happen to Iran. They don't talk about aggression and mur the murder of children and the shamelessness of the the Trump regime for not taking responsibility. In fact, that people here believe that the attack on that school and other civilian targets are all in are are for the most part intentional. And that school was, as we all know, the first strike and those targets were well vetted. They were they had months to vet them and I'm sure they did. And it was a known school. So no one here believes that it was an accident. And of course the Americans trying to blame Iran. Western media was has been indifferent about it and no one has at all has apologized. But uh again they have a thing about you know kids. So um I think that what is going to happen is that Iran, as I said earlier, is going to emerge stronger. Iran is not going to break apart. They've united Iranians in ways in which I've never seen before. Not even in in the s. And that was like after the revolution and when Saddam invaded Iran. You see people on the streets under missile fire. The the Americans and the Israelis fire missiles at rallies and people have been killed. You know, at a rally that I was at, a woman was murdered, but people didn't budge. So, how are you going to break up that country? teenager girls didn't go home to do what teenagers do. They stood their ground. So, how's how are they going to break down that country? And on the other hand, as I said, these regimes in the Persian Gulf, they're in bad shape. But also governments across the world are going to be in terrible shape when the price of oil goes to to $ I said this I've been saying this for years that it could quadruple. That's when it was like what was it like a few months ago was like $or so. $Well right now that's where things are heading. When that happens, will there be regime change in Iran or perhaps regime change across Europe and North America and elsewhere where people will be rioting where people will be losing their jobs where people will be I mean right now in India things seem to be getting very difficult and the Indian government miscalculated by you know clinging to the Israeli regime. The Israeli reg look what look at what the Israeli regime has imposed on the people of India. They don't care about Indians. They don't care if the global economy crashes. They care about Zionism. They care about their own interests. And so do American elites. They don't care about the United States. So is there going to be regime change in Iran or in Washington? I would bet on Washington rather than Iran if I was a betting man, which I'm not. So we're going to be hurt. No doubt about it. They're bombing our factories. They're bombing our hospitals. They're bombing our kids. Of course, we're going to be hurt. They're bombing our universities. But we know that we are on the side of right and that our sin is that we wanted to be independent and that we supported the people of Palestine. We support the people of Cuba for being strangled. We support Venezuela. That's Iran's sin. That's the sin of the axis of resistance that we support the oppressed. That's our sin. There's no other reason. nuclear uh the nuclear program, human rights, uh terrorism. These are all excuses, fabricated narratives in order to crush people that oppose hegemony. And the Iranian people, and I've said this to you before on this show, the Iranian people and people in the axis of resistance have a particular characteristic or particular characteristics. One, it's a civilizational state. But even more important, the religious, the dominant religious ideology Iran is extraordinarily anti-hmonic and supportive of the victim and hostile towards the aggressor. And it comes from of course the prophets and the final prophet, prophet Muhammad and but his grandson in particular and the events in Cabal. I mean, if American analysts were smart, they'd read about the events in Kabala. They'd read a good book about what what that was about and Imm Hussein and his sister and his companions and what happened to them and how deeply embedded it is in our culture and in Lebanon. That's why Hezbollah stands. It's not only it's not just about defending Lebanon, but it's about defending Gaza, another people. They see them as the victims. They have to stand up for them. That's why we support Cuba. That's why we supported Venezuela. That's why we supported the struggle in Southern Africa. And that's why we're demonized. That's why we're we're medieval. And we are mad we have mad mullas. And you know, we are uh sand so and so and we are um camel jockeyies and we are all these things that they you know. And then we're in the in all the movies. We're evil and sinister and we murder. I remember once on Al Jazzer, another uh western uh you know media outlet that has nothing to do with the global south. It's just another tool that the Americans allowed to function in this particular way. Um, I remember a um when was this? Anyway, uh I remember that a a while back. Um I'm I'm I think I think I'm conflating two different things. I'll get I'll get back to this when I remember. Uh but uh the point is that the demonization of Iran for these these now I remember the the show it was I was on a show in Al Jazzer there was this I can't remember his name but there was this author who wrote a book now they came after me or something like that and he wrote about Iran like all these memoirs on Iran that are all rubbish. uh it's an industry supported by the western regimes like not without my daughter and I don't know reading Lolita and tan which was a bestseller in the United States but you know Lolita in any case and uh so this guy he and then uh what's his name what's the name of that American comedian uh John Stewart he he I think he made turned it into a movie oh really rosewater or something like that I don't know I didn't watch I don't bother watching garbage. But uh the the writer he came and did a debate with me and um on Alaz and he and and then he was saying in Thran they uh hang people on on the street corners and and I said you know I've been in Iran all my adult life. This is my city except for three years uh living abroad during the last years. I've spent all my life in Tehran and during the to the time that I was at war. I have never seen an execution anywhere. But, you know, they create these fake images uh or narrative so that people hate Iran. Well, you know, those narratives are all falling apart because it is the Iranians that are standing up to against genocide and it's all these nice human rights people that are supporting genocide. So the, you know, everything everything about the Western Empire is going is going south. Their military, their economies, their soft power, their propaganda. And Trump is like someone told me and I don't want anyone to misunderstand me. Someone told me that Trump is like the worst thing for Iran. I understand that argument. But while he's destructive and murderous like pre previous presidents, he's much more crude and he is helping to shatter those narratives through his arrogance and stupidity. Yeah. And the crude way in which he conducts himself. So in my opinion ultimately he is doing more damage to Zionism than any other president in history. Yeah, we see that. No, totally. I mean we I've heard this dynamic in China, people saying that uh the way Donald Trump talks, the way he goes about policy. It only serves to isolate those forces who are pro- west, who are pro the US and it unites the country. More importantly, it wakes them up. Yeah. Some of them may be isolated, but others young Iranian kids who believe the the the the nonsense coming from Western media and their Persian language media empire, which is, you know, billions of dollars go into this. They're seeing them bomb kids. They see double tap attacks. I I put I posted one online. You probably saw it. the the woman who survived the first attack and was saying her sha data and then she was murdered in a in the subsequent strike. People see that. So there there's an awakening in Iran among the youth and they see this that we are the victims and that all these narratives were were fiction. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and and now this is twice in less than a year that uh the United States and Israel have both done this, have uh you woken up so many people all around the world. I mean, I'm getting messages uh in support of Iran all the time. Uh because that's just uh people can see, people can watch the reality of it, who's lying, who's doing the killing of civilians, and of course, who is resisting the aggression. Which gets me to this question professor Randi about what the significance of Ansarallah entering the war Yemen entering the war now is because as we're speaking I mean they began with missile they began with missiles um you know at Israel uh one and then it was uh and now they are actually drone attacking a lot again and people may remember that the port there was shut down by what Yemen did uh between in So uh for the sake of Gaza. Yeah. Because of exactly to stop the genocide. So what's the significance of this? Because now the whole energy question is in the mix. Uh there's also the fact that uh uh you know this the Yemen now fits into this larger picture of the axis of resistance. But the Babel Menddeep Straight, the Red Sea, uh even Trump just admitted, I don't know if you saw that at his uh finance year gaggle where he essentially was, you know, uh going off the cuff to his uh Wall Street buddies, but he said in the last hours that Iran was hitting the Gerald Ford. Gerald Ford is out. It's init. It's not going to come back into operation. and he was saying that Iran hit was targeting them times and likely was the one who caused that fire. Oh, you put two and two together. But um nonetheless, that happened in the Red Sea. That happened in the Mediterranean. So Marandi, what does Yemen's entrance mean for the the war and also the economy because they hold a lot of cards there? Well, obviously they could stop Saudi oil exports at any moment. They could strike their uh export facilities, which they did before. And that's what led to the ceasefire after seven years of genocidal war against Yemen where the Saudis and the Moratis had the entire West behind them and the region was supporting them except for Iran including Turkey and Katar. But then they distanced themselves after the Saudis and MRTs targeted Qatar a couple of you know a couple a year or two later. But uh so they could do that again. They could destroy Saudi oil infrastructure. They can destroy the tankers. They can shut down the Red Sea. They can invade Saudi Arabia. Iraq. The resistance in Iraq can invade Saudi Arabia. They're much more and they're tough. They're strong. They've been through war. The Saudis don't know how to fight. they send mercenaries to fight, but that's not going to happen this time around. So, uh I I think that uh it's like a you know, they're like a sword hanging over uh the the this uh the Epstein coalition and the Americans can't do much about it because they're focused on Iran just like they can't do much about Iraq. in in the in Iraq, the resistance is pounding the Americans and their assets day and night and the Americans can't do much about it because they're focused on Iran. And remember, Yemen and Iraq are big countries. This is we're not talking about Bahrain or Kuwait or the Emirates or uh Qatar. The combined populations of these four countries that I mentioned, the combined population is nowhere near the population of Iraq or the population of Yemen. And within the population of these countries, many are not happy. And many of them are just foreigners or you know indentured servants. They have no rights, nothing. So they are not in a good position. And again, for to me, anything that Trump does against Iran, he takes an island, he takes two islands, he takes three islands, the prices of energy is going to go through the roof. Iran will hit hard. These groups and these countries will get more involved. The Iraqi resistance will expand its uh uh offensive uh attacks. And the same will will be true with Ansar. So, it's just going to be a quagmire that gets worse and things will be out of control. They're already out of control. Things will get out of control and the global economy will collapse and Americans will have to retreat because when it collapses, you just can't sustain it anymore, right? You can't keep all those troops there. You don't have the money anymore. But it's going to be about, you know, it's going to be catastrophic for everyone. It's going to change the lifestyles of every single person most probably watching your show now. Yeah. Who are the good people, the bad people, it's going to hurt them, too. Hopefully, it'll hurt them and not others. But, you know, when the global economy goes down, who benefits? Yeah. And the what what is so shocking to see for is that despite all of this uh despite all of these miscalculations, the conclusion is well, let's flirt with. It's unclear what kind of operation the United States is actually going to engage in. But it's going to be something and it's going to happen soon. Uh they didn't bring or so uh Marines and paratroopers, etc. to the Middle East to sit around, but but it could be tonight. But it could be tonight. But and that's what's that's what's shocking is that uh I I I just looked at Axios, you know, this uh mouthpiece of the US government or the Pentagon or the CIA, and even they are saying, "Hey, let's reality check all of the things about the Iran's military." And uh it turns out none of what the United States has been selling as Kool-Aid about it is true. Iran still has its drones and missiles and Iran has this massive military that person just a couple days ago they were saying come closer let's let's do this uh and not just us but all of us are ready to fight Iraq is ready to fight um you know the entirety of the resistance is ready to fight so that is and remember things in Syria are not as they appear no it's very people are not happy with the regime the money will not flow like before for al-Qaeda A and um and the supporters of the resistance they're not small in number. So and you know one other thing that I think is um is important is that uh Trump is the reason why Trump is uh so isolated in among his own allies is because they all know what's going to happen. So you speak of Axios, this Zionist mouthpiece and um and tool of propaganda. Uh it's, you know, it's European leaders who are desperate to have a Trump uh to be in Trump's good books, but this is just too much for them. They recognize where things are going. Again, it's not as if it's going to, you know, Iran will defeat the United States, but Iran will pay a heavy price, but Iran has no option. This is a fight for this is an existential war. It's a fight for survival. You know, a few days ago, a very good friend of mine, a Brazilian friend of mine was saying that a very senior figure in in in leftist politics in Brazil. And this is not just I'm not it's not just the left, but this particular person is a very important person in in the polit in the sort of radical. He's he's like one of the key communists of Cuba. And he was saying we need this this cult we have to be become like the Iranians. We have to get this culture of resistance from the axis of resistance and learn about their ideology and their worldview and maybe we have to change to be more like them. So the United States is basically making the axis of resistance a a role model for resistance across the world. And uh again, no matter how you look at this, it's not good for and people across the world. Who are they going to blame when they lose their jobs? Who are they going to blame when the costs go through the roof in the United States and elsewhere? Trump. Yeah. And who forced Trump down this road? The Zionists. Netanyahu. The the the the Zionist lobby. So, is it going to make them more popular or less popular? It's going to make it worse. So they've been going downhill for two and a half years. Major public figures are now turning against them. It's going to get worse and worse and worse. In other words, they're bringing about their own destruction. Yeah. Yeah. And even uh Axios firstand is reporting uh while they won't verify the million number given by Iran's military in recent days, they're saying at least from what limited they know about Iran, which is very little, of course, but is still far more than anything the US can send into Iran. Danny Danny, the Iranians have been preparing for this war for years. Yep. They have always said that the Americans the martyr has always you know basically believed that we have to prepare for an assault by the United States especially after /and you know now if you look at the history and uh Tucker Carlson's own documentary and what what's happening now not you look at through a very different lens but ever since Iran has been preparing these these underground ba missile bases and drone bases that uh have been functioning for a month now and are hitting harder today than they were weeks ago. Does anyone in their right mind think that the Iranians have not prepared the Persian Gulf region and the islands and other places for an American assault? They're crazy and it's I mean they've only been talking about it for weeks now also for Randi. So it's not as if there isn't uh opportunity to prepare in that in that period especially since the coast of Iran people don't recognize. I just want to throw this out there for and let you continue but um there's not air superiority. We know that the LA the fighter jet what was the F-that was over the southern province of Iran that was off of the coast. Iran has air defenses. So and Iran's coast is very very long. Yes. in the in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman. And it is rugged. It is mountainous. You know, suicide. But we'll see it. I think, you know, there's a significant chance that things will happen tonight. It's not for certain. I'm not privy to anything obviously, but it is believed that is that this weekend because the markets are closed, right, that it may happen. Some may some think it may happen later next week but um but there's a significant chance that something may happen tonight. Yeah. I I mean I can't imagine personally the you know if we look at this uh you know my father he uh you know he was in the Vietnam war and he always talked about how low morale was you know he was drafted sent there in ' uh moving around the world because they were just bouncing people from base to base and then finally was in Vietnam for about a year and uh he couldn't stop talking about how awful the morale was then but I can't imagine what it's like to be in the Marines or these paratroopers whoever it is having to sail thousands of kilometers while you are I don't know maybe they're completely blocked off of social media maybe they're blocked off in the news but I can't imagine they aren't aware of what's happening to those thousands of troops uh who were on you know were on or continue to be on uh these bases in the Gulf that they don't know anything that's happening to Israel and they don't know uh you know anything that the Iranian military says because regardless of whether you have all these racist tropes and all these you know Zionist tropes about uh Iran, you can't really racist and Zionist your way out of uh reality. That's why you have Israeli mayors crying. Yeah. And they they probably have heard some a thing or two about Joe Kent and Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they probably have access to at least the mainstream media and even the mainstream media is saying these things are destroyed. So that means you're going into that and Iran has the capabilities. I think uh uh there were some sources saying that Iran has g they they're going to doesn't matter how many US troops they put on any part of Iranian soil. Uh oh, Professor Marandi. Uh it looks like we lost Professor Mandi. Uh anyway, uh so Professor Ry, hopefully he is able to return, but I was just going to finish my point that um I really hope that he's okay actually because that's that was a really uh concerning exit. very sudden um exit. I'll just message him really quick. Um but um yeah, so I'll I'll just wait to see uh to more , see if he's able to return. But I was just going to say, um, I can't imagine what it's like to have to go into that knowing that you not only have to face a military that wants to face you, but you also have to face all of the various capabilities of Iran. There he is. Hey, Russell Rod. I'm glad that it wasn't something catastrophic that had you come off, but um, this but this is uh, the connections going downhill a bit. That's okay. Well, we can conclude here. U, person, I want any final thoughts on this? cuz I was just finishing up my point that I can't imagine what it's like the what morale with what happened with Gerald Ford now what's happening in terms of having to face Iranian capabilities in terms of drones missiles and the worst thing to see you yes and the worst thing of all is that it's all being done for another country another well not a country a regime Israeli regime you know an ethnos supremacist regime you know the Epstein war these are this is the Epstein for and so they're going to sacrifice their lives for what? I mean, at least in Vietnam, they were told that, you know, this is to save democracy and to save, you know, the the world from communism. And they, you know, they may have believed it for many of them, but what what is it? What are they doing here? Zach Kent said that there's no threat America. is not about saving America. It's about some other genocidal regime that uh that they they need to fight for. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Professor Mandi, uh we can close up here. I want to thank everyone who gave super chat, super stickers. Thanks so much. Um uh someone asked actually why doesn't Iran show um drone recordings to actually demonstrate that the US is losing? Um, I think we have satellite imagery already that shows a lot of that. Um, somebody also asked, I heard reports that nuclear plants in Iran are leaking. Is this true? So, if you want to respond to any of these things as we close up. No, no, there there's no leakage. There's no leakage and the the plant itself hasn't been struck. With regards to um u images, I I don't know. Um perhaps a lot of this is confidential for the time being. Yeah. Yeah. And then we, you know, someone asked if four Ecenturies were simultaneously destroyed. I don't know about simultaneously, but I know that there was at least one of those destroyed. Um, I wouldn't be surprised if more. Information keeps coming uh by the minute. But I want to thank everyone who gave. In any case, all is not well in the Epstein camp. No, no. All is definitely not well in the Epstein camp. I mean, we're talking about massive amounts of money just hemorrhaging. And we're also talking about capabilities, US military capabilities. Forget I've been saying this for a while now, Professor Randy. After Iran, whenever this ends, forget about Russia. Forget about China. Forget about Iran for a long time. I just forget about it. And that that's going to create a certain level of unease for uh as you call the Epstein regime, the uh the oligarchs, the warmongers. That's going to this is kind of a point of no return and we are seeing uh history be made in real time. But Professor M, I know your connection is getting poor. I know you got to head out. So, let's all head out together. Hit the like button before you go as Professor Randy instructed at the beginning of the program. We boost the show by doing that. Uh be sure uh to go to the video description, support this channel anyway you can. Patreon, Substack, buy me a coffee, much more. First Marty, any final words as we hit the end stream button here? Not really. Thank you very much for inviting me and I thank your audience for listening and everyone I'm sure they're doing their part to u to bring an end to this and to put pressure on the epstein forces and hopefully we'll we'll see better days after the darkness that we're seeing today. Indeed. Yes. And we'll be following it all the way through. All right everybody, take care. Hit the like button and I'll see you again soon. Bye-bye.
