Part 3 of 3
Do you
think that the that Turkey is going to um allow or not intervene or not uh
engage or protest like us arming and enabling and funding Kurdish separ
separatists in like what the Washington Warhawks call South Azure Bay? Do you
think Pakistan who's dealing with its own balo insurgency is going to like not
see us arming beloi belo separatists as a direct threat to its territorial
integrity? Nobody wants this. The UAE doesn't want it. Saudi doesn't want it. They're just, you know, having to say
things. I I don't think they'll shoot high mars at Iran. To what purpose, you know? Uh so yeah, it's just completely
destabilized the region and soured soured uh a lot of our long-standing relationships.
Well, it also seems to have and we're just waiting for low-key everyone. I believe he's having some technical issues and Greg, thanks for being
generous with your time as we as we do that. Um I just wanted to we're now
seeing reports I mean some of this stuff is happening as we speak. Uh there's we know Hezbollah is back in and Hezbollah
being back in also throws no matter how many people we know Israel is going on a rampage in Lebanon right now to uh mass
I mean talk about ma trying to mass murder the population as they generally do but uh there's also Hezbollah is back
in the fight Greg uh look at this uh always with Streamyard. So here we go.
Um they're destroying tanks again. There's now as we are speaking there are rockets
aliad's reporting that so it's most likely accurate.
So there's also Yeah. So again well these are all up to you know the minute
reports. There's also sirens according to the cradle that there are sirens going off in Israel because there are
missiles being launched uh from Lebanon which means that Hezbollah is still uh
they're still going. Um and that upends this whole project of not only disarming Hezbollah but also trying to establish
that uh permanent uh you know occupation zone for Israel to uh you know continue
their project. So a lot of things are just kind of erupting. Do do you think the US even expected this because
Hezbollah was deemed dead? Well, the U the US like the ODNI, Office
of Director of National Intelligence. It's the department that kind of aggregates all the information collected
by every foreign and domestic intelligence agency from the CIA, the FBI, MSA, NSA, DIA, all the three
letters. They didn't think that Hezbollah was disarmed. I cannot imagine
they didn't see this coming. Um, but again, the Israeli government is willing
to take these hits if they can further punish and emiserate Lebanon and maybe
uh reoccupy parts of Lebanon south of the Latani River. Uh, again, I'm going
to go back to my initial thesis that they know because they're not stupid. They might be zealots, but they're not
completely stupid. They know that US unconditional support is not going to
last forever. And I don't mean it's going to disappear in the next couple years or overnight, but it's going to
end with this uh this generation that currently dominates political power. So,
the older boomers, silent generation folks, right? Uh who are very hawkish. They've been in the reigns of power
since the late 90s, early 2000s, and they're just not going away. But once those guys are gone, you know, but um
they're the unconditional support is going to dry up. So this riot is not going to last forever. So I think
they're trying to make hay while the sunshines. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there were uh of
course rumblings that Israel was going to use uh the strikes on Iran by the United
States and and Israel too to justify its aggression on on Lebanon even further.
Um, I think they even announced that they were planning on hitting Lebanon and essentially anybody uh that was s,
you know, a so-called threat to to Israel, but uh, nonetheless, I think Hezbollah
is uh, you know, it's still around and it's still going to cause at least some
problems for the Israeli regime. Yeah. And they're they're never going to truly disarm because once they do,
they're they're done. And that's why Hamas is never going to, I don't think, ever completely disarmed. They might
like, you know, pull a PKK in like Turkey or like the north uh or
in like parts of Syria where they send out a social media video of them burning a couple AK-47s.
But no, once they once they give up their arms, they're done. And that means um Lebanon completely becomes a a vassel
in its entirety, not just in its in its government. So, uh, they can't afford to
if they want to survive as an institution. And right now they they're fighting for their existential survival.
That's why they entered the war not just like in solidarity with Iran like they did with uh Hamas and Gaza, but they're
doing it because they they have to like they have to make as this hurt as much as possible to make it end. Because if
Iran goes, they are they're completely isolated and this is an existential war
for their own survival right now. So, I definitely think they're going to be sending it, waging a ground war, destroying as many tanks, maybe not so
many rockets, but um I definitely see like small anti-tank teams running around uh just like they did last time,
just like they did back in 2006, just like they did back in the 80s. So, probably older like more decentralized
tactics. Uh, of course they haven't had enough time to like really build up their uh their leadership structure.
Having it that centralized and that and and that hierarchical actually really hurt them last time. So I think they're
going back to old school playbooks of decentralized cells and networks running around um the south of Lebanon.
All right. Yeah, Greg, thanks so much for joining me today. Uh this was great. I appreciate you taking the extended
time out. Uh, our second guest has come. Uh, here he is. Hey, Loki. How are you
doing? I hope you okay. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. Um,
nice of you to show up, man. It's been a minute. I was late. This uh I'm not sure what's happening with my uh my technical stuff
at the moment, but yeah, it's good. Uh oh, sorry, I've lost your uh your
mic. Uh I don't know what happened there. Okay. Yeah, I know. This is going to be
uh low key. I can't hear you at all anymore. Let me um let me see what happened. I tried to make you louder
because you were a bit quiet. Um and now it seems you have been turned off. Uh
I look out and come back in. Oh, no. You're good now. I can hear you. I can hear you. All right. Well, I I'm going to go head
up uh head out. I got to go do campaign stuff, guys. I'm running for te uh Congress in Texas District 31. just a
heads up if you're interested in living in the region. So, uh, good to see you again, man. And thanks for having me on,
Danny. Of course. Yeah. And everybody, uh, you can follow Greg on his X and and his campaign in the video description after
the show. All right, Greg. All right, Loki. Good to see you, man. I know it's kind of a been rough to technical
technically, but I definitely wanted to get your view on what's going on uh, in this war. maybe you can help us analyze
because we've I can show the images of what's happening to Israel. I can show the images of what's happening to US
bases in the region and that's been a lot of the talk. But what has this demonstrated to you in terms of uh the
significance of uh Iran's retaliation, the resistance, etc. What what has what has been
important for you? H your volume I can't hear you anymore.
I don't know why. Um, what's happening here?
Uh, let's see. Um, maybe, yeah, maybe if you want to come back.
No. Okay. I Okay. No, you're good. You're good now. Uh, I think it's because every time I try to make you a little louder, uh, I just won't mess
with it anymore. So, continue. Okay. Okay. Ultimately, I think what has
been demonstrated is that Israel is in essence a paper tiger which has an air
force which can attack civilian buildings. It has a military which can
spy on communications. It has uh low key one thing I I don't mean to
interrupt you. Is there do you have any headphones by any chance? Uh because there is an echo I think.
Okay. The headphones unfortunately can't connect while the phone is charging. Oh, there's no um Bluetooth or anything
like that. Okay. There's there's not unfortunately because it has to be plugged in,
right? It's possible. This is quite an old phone. I'm so sorry, man. The the technology let me down today.
It's all right. It's all right. It's uh there's a lot of crackling, I
think. I don't know if the audience Yeah, there's and there's an echo on my side, I think, because of the um but
it's not the worst. Uh continue, Loki. We'll we'll we'll get through this. Uh how about you?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. Okay. So ultimately what we're looking
at is a situation where Israel believed that the decapitation model would be
successful in removing 50 years worth of preparation. You are talking about
people that have understood from the very beginning of the process which was the Islamic revolution in Iran that they
would eventually have the United States go to war with them from the Zaros mountain strategy which was hacked
during the Carter hatched during the Carter administration to the other
methods which were adopted throughout other US presidents. Iran always had an
awareness that this day would come. And so for that reason, it set about building its military capabilities
without any US technology and trying to conceal them as much as possible. So you
had the production on an industrial scale ballistic missiles underground
which can be shot from surface to air with fairly um precise directions. And
since the uh lesson of the 12-day war, actually you've seen governments in the
region look at how they can adopt some of Iran's methods. So for instance, Turkey began ballistic missile
development post uh the 12-day war when seeing how successful Iran was. And it's
worth remembering what exactly happened in the 12-day war. You're talking about the use of over a thousand drones and
only 500 ballistic missiles. Iran was able, according to the Israeli land
authority, destroy 11,000 buildings within the political entity of Israel,
damage over 30,000 buildings, and a third of those buildings which were damaged also had to be brought down and
destroyed. In addition to that, you had over 41,000 Israeli citizens make claims
to the Israeli uh compensation authorities to uh give them some type of
uh monetary compensation for damaged property during that time. So just so we
understand the scale of exactly what happened during that period and also it's important to understand that Israel
cats Israel's defense minister at the time stated that they would have killed Ali if they could but they couldn't
because he was nowhere to be found during that time. And in this way,
you've seen a difference in the operation that Israel launched with the United States and at the time they
launched it. Because most military operations take place at 2 am because the understanding is that in terms of
the cycle of the human being, 2:00 a.m. is the point when they are at their
least um aware. And like with the Venezuela operation against Maduro, it
was 2:00 a.m. There's this is the standard practice really. But in this case, what happened was they launched it
um around around 8 or 9 in the in the morning there um because they were responding to intelligence that said all
of these individuals be together at the same time and we can kill um you know in a place where it was well
known he would be anyway. But that move essentially signaled to Iran that now
was the time to defend yourself in the way that you've been building up for these 50 years. And you have seen
unprecedented targeting of US bases in the region. And they are moving from being a protective factor to being a
liability. And at that point when US bases actually become a liability for the countries that host them, then the
empire begins to fall. Its veneer, its uh prestige begins to disintegrate. And
also you've seen the actions of the US soldiers on those bases. Rather than protect those states, the US soldiers
have vacated their bases and gone into hotels, thus endangering people around
them. But also Iran impressively showing that it has intelligence about where these uh soldiers and in some cases CIA
um individuals are are based and has been able to strike them. And ultimately
what that does is it places a an antagonism really between the US and its
key allies in the region. And of course, when you look at Trump's targeting of Venezuela in the time he did it, it was
in order for the US to have access to the uh the world's number one u uh oil
um producer really at a time when he knew that if they were going to move on Iran later in that year, then it would
be difficult to maintain the oil supply from the Middle East in the same way that it was. And already we've seen in
uh the UK the gas uh prices increase by almost 100% just in the few days of this
war. So really for from the Iranian perspective, the U mission is to incur
the largest uh cost possible so that the United States is unable to sustain this
uh this war and ultimately the alliance with Israel becomes more and more costly
by the day. The public perception is is really um furious really I would say
people are with Trump. They feel betrayed by him. This was somebody who got in on an anti-war ticket, who told
people he was against the forever wars, that he was not a neocon. But when you
actually look at who the main forces are that have been pushing for this war in
tandem with Israel, it's been the neocons. So uh in the uh in the early
2000s, Richard Pearl and others in organizations Douglas Faith and others
wrote up a report for Benjamin Netanyahu called Clean Break, which basically
foretold what happened in Syria, which was the uh encouraging of um sectarian
forces, which would then turn into separatist forces, which could then lead to a bulcanizing of the state and the
decentralization of power and and weaken any chance of
there being a centralized military that could oppose Zionism effectively. And
the same the same mentality is what Israel has when it looks at um Iran. But
the difference is is that the Trump regime thought more along the lines of the Maduro uh model where you're able to
decapitate the um the government and then use that as a sort of bargaining
stick and a threat to whoever is still there afterwards and then use that to
try and push your um your will on the remaining people from the political
class. But in the case of Iran, they do not realize the ideological commitment
which exists and has been built up over these 50 years and the perception that people have of the struggle against um
Zionism. And so therefore they are faced now with an an equation of an intrigent
population which is not limited just to the government or the political elite. is spread across the region and they
have very clear clarity about what the United States intentions are and Israel's intentions are. I think what
they're trying to do now is encourage ground forces through Kurdish groups um
the Barzani uh family and others in in the north of Iraq and uh Kurdish groups
in Iran to try and move on the government as a ground force in some
way, but then as an air force, it seems that they want the Saudis to possibly
get involved and take over from Israel and the United States to take that pressure away from them. The question is
whether that will work. And of course, there's been the reports in the um
recent days that Mossad agents were arrested in both Qatar and Saudi um who
seemed to be intent on causing problems there and possibly blaming it on Iran.
Of course, Israel has a long um track record in these types of activities from
the Leavon affair in Egypt where they placed um bombs at US um interests
within the country in order to try and uh force the US government against the
government of Jamal Abdas. And of course, Levon was the minister of defense in Israel at that time and later
won a medal for carrying out this uh this operation. And then of course you
have the case of Iraq where Mossad, which was a fledgling um intelligence agency in 1951, placed bombs at uh areas
of uh Jewish interest within Iraq. So they placed bombs at synagogues. They placed um uh bombs at cafes frequented
by Jewish Iraqis in order to try and compel those people to become Israeli
and leave Iraq. Because at the time you had Tofi Kasui, the prime minister, having placed something called the
denaturalization law, which would um allow Jewish Iraqis to leave the country
and become Israelis. Of course, when many of them did eventually leave following the bombing campaign, they
were um put in camps and sprayed with DDT by Israel once they arrived. And so
anyway, what we see here is an attempt an attempt to throw the entire region
into war. But what Iran has done is respond in
a way that will be written about in the history books for centuries uh to come.
And this was something that those of us who are um level-headed said before this
that the United States and Israel have never faced any opponent like this in
the history actually of of of Israel. Certainly it has never faced an opponent
like this. And after the 12-day war, this was the very thing that those in the Israeli land um authority were
saying that we have sustained damages that we have never before sustained and
we're trying to get things uh back together in that way. So this is an
entirely different animal in a way to what they have faced previously in
Lebanon and Palestine.
Yeah. I mean, uh, that's one thing I've, uh, wanted to harp on, too, is how
historic this already is. And of course, there's a lot of we do live in the
collective west. And, um, there will always be a lot of doubters given that our particular regimes are Zionist and
imperialist in character. Uh, there are a lot of doubters about um, what Iran
can do and how long it can sustain this. Uh my question to you Loki is uh uh what
what are some of the factors? There's always the military factor what Iran has but there are other factors as well that
drive I believe what we are seeing um resistance that Iran has said now is not
going to stop. They are rejecting US uh overures towards talks. Now the Trump
administration wants to say no there's we haven't been uh you know we're we
it's too late no more negotiations but there's been many reports about how there have already been overtures and Iran said no that this is going to be a
long war that they have their own objectives so now the US is starting to come out with objectives that they
they're throwing all the pasta at the wall saying this is what we want to do this is what we want to do it's not very clear but Iran says it has its own
objectives so what are these factors and objectives do you believe are at play here that maybe we're not paying
attention to so much that uh influence uh what Iran does and what Iran is
doing. Well, I think what is often overlooked
in terms of the story of Iran's bond to the Palestinians is that prior to the
Islamic Revolution, those who would go on to work for it actually trained with
Khalil Wazir Abu Jihad of Fatah. He was the head of intelligence in Fatah who
was later assassinated by the Israelis in Tunisia. But he um is someone that
worked on training those forces in Lebanon who would later return to Iran
and work for that aim. Of course, you have to remember that in the words of
Talal Naji, the head of the popular front for the liberation of Palestine,
the PFLP, who is currently imprisoned in Damascus, it was it would have been
impossible for the Palestinians to um have the victories that they had and be
able to defend themselves in the way that they were able to without the support of the um Iranians. You also
look at someone like Salah AI from um Hamas. He stated very clearly that Iran
is the only state in the world with a budget specifically for the liberation
of Palestine. Kasim Solmani of course um was instrumental in the training of
these forces in Lebanon, in Syria, in even in Gaza itself. You have the
introduction of the Cornet missile, Russian missile that they were able to get in. You had a whole underground base
in Sudan built by Iran for the purpose of arming the resistance in Gaza. And
that's why of course the division of Sudan was a key um a key objective of
the Zionists and something they were able to achieve. And um but it was a key
link in the chain. Um and Iran was able to you know the the well-known phrase
about the Palestinian revolution is that it went from the the the stone and the slingshot in
the first inif and then in the second in father you see the appearance of
different methods that were uh largely due to what who they called the muendis
yakya um who was himself assassinated when Israel booby trapped a telephone that he
used once a week and was able to uh kill him by exploding it in his hands to then
Iran being able to arm the Palestinians with uh with more advanced uh hardware
and then you see the method of resistance change and you can trace that line very clearly. The Iranians and
their attitude to supporting the Palestinians was actually very nonpartisan.
So for example, even when Feta was at odds with the Iranian position um and
went through Oslo and the rest of it, there is the example of the Karin ships
which were intercepted by the Israelis. One of them was intercepted but the rest of them were not. And those arms on
those ships got to Gaza and were used to arm fata as well as the other
Palestinian um resistance organizations. Iran has gone out of its way to give all
of those factions anything they want. Um, and I think that's one aspect of the story which is often overlooked. I think
the Iranian support for the Palestinians is somehow caricatured or viewed as a
proxy or viewed as a um as for Iran's own interest. But you've never seen a
more selfless support for the Palestinians. And let's be clear, what Iran is going through now is literally
due to supporting Palestine. When you look at United Against Nuclear Iran, for
example, and this was a point I was alluding to earlier, literally
it features on the board the brother of George Bush. It features on the board um
an individual that was George Bush's representative at the United Nations during the Iraq War. It features a
myriad of neocons. It features the former head of Mossad during the Iraq war in 2003.
John Bolton was key to key to united against a nuclear Iran. And interestingly enough, this way that this
military adventure has been carried out in Iran. Even Joel John Bolton is attempting to disassociate himself. You
know, this is somebody who was instrumental to the war in Iraq, instrumental to the war on terror. now
seeking to disassociate himself from this current campaign on Iran because they're seeing how much of a disaster it
it has been. Um, and that's because Iran was ready and they knew what was coming
and as I say they prepared for it for 50 years and they built technology that had
no involvement from any US company whatsoever. when they're launching these
strikes, people will look at and they say, "Well, how does Iran possibly know
how can it see where the Israelis are to strike them, right?" Because the the
Iranian jets are not flying into other people's airspace. Well, they're using
the satellite systems Beu and Gloness, which is China and Russia. And with
those systems they are able to uh see into the uh the other side in in in
quite an invasive and serious way and able to achieve what are really
objectively speaking miracles um in terms of the way they are striking back.
And ultimately there is not a country in the global south watching what is
happening right now and not taking notes about the way that Iran has been able to defend itself. 25%
of humanity exist in political systems which are currently subject to US sanction.
Millions of people around the world have been killed by US sanctions. No country
in the world is more sanctioned right now than Iran. For it to have been able
to do this is really a testament to the brilliance and the the scientific genius
which is at work in that country. And ultimately those who are looking at this
in an objective way will say these are achievements which will uh speak for centuries uh to come for sure.
Yeah. Yeah. Those are great points low-key. And uh one of the objectives the US always uh once in a while I mean
I think it gets downplayed because the US wants to amplify the threat of Iran
to uh measures far beyond uh what this actually portends. But they always say,
well, Iran, we need to stop Iran from supporting the so-called terrorist proxies. And who are those so-called
proxies? there all the resistance uh organizations and groups especially the
Palestinians and also extending out to uh Lebanon uh and Yemen and and
elsewhere. So it's a huge goal and uh you know I think it's unprecedented. A
lot of people, you know, would they look at the the deaths that Israel and the
United States have caused in Iran, but a lot of people, I think, to understand how a global south country uh can do
this, can fight back in this way with this kind of technology, with this kind of weaponry, and make uh significant uh
damage, impose significant damage on the US and Israel. And if we add the US into
here, unlike the 12-day war, we're talking about something that actually is history bookw worthy, regardless of the
outcome, which I can ask you about low key where you think this is going. But right now, if we're looking at this four
days in, we see the outcome is uh at the very least uh not uh up to where the
United States and the uh and Israel uh want it to be, where they want it to be,
which is of course full regime change. Yes. Um and I think they have slightly
different objectives. So I think for Israel the aim is uh social collapse and
chaos but a creative chaos which they can move around to their interests on the US side
of things but particularly Trump because he's not Bush. He he is not a believer
in this idea of committing large forces for attritional warfare and long
protracted um operations. U Trump views it as advantageous to just
dip in and out with a very cleancut operation. But those are actually diametrically opposed uh interests. And
what's fascinating is that someone like Marco Rubio is coming out now and saying
essentially that Israel was going to take action and we didn't want Israel to
take action alone, but Israel was going to take action whether we liked it or not. But this is interesting because
it's it's really uh depicting the USIsraeli relationship in a new way. But
this was a massive gamble for Trump to partake in. And ultimately people will
both allies in the US domestically and in the region generally will be looking
at him and shaking their head at how he could do something so so silly. Because when they compare the way Iran responded
to the 12-day war, it was completely different. In the 12-day war, what
partly was the coming to the end of it was when Iran targeted El in DHA and
that was obviously telegraphed and people were informed that this was going to happen. Um but it was a warning and
that warning ultimately was not heeded. What needs to happen regionally is
people need to look at least across the next few decades at pivoting away from
this idea of the US military being the key guarantor of the global economy.
Move away from the US military being the protector of supply lines and move to a
more independent situation. Ultimately, Iran in the region supports forces who
are working from independence from neoc colonialism. It doesn't support forces
actually contrary to what many will say who have a strictly sectarian outlook.
Um if it did, it wouldn't have supported some of the groups that it stand stood with. Um definitely among the
Palestinian in Lebanon and in Iraq. there are non sectarian components that all of those organizations mention. Um
but ultimately that what has been revealed here is that the United States
is basically not fit to protect um the
uh the the supply lines and the states themselves. I mean, when can you imagine
a time when you would see US forces vacating their bases and then being
essentially chased with ballistic missiles into the hotel rooms. They try and hide it. that you know this is this
is in it's reminiscent of of the the humiliation that the US military faced
in Vietnam you know and I believe that this go in
history in a similar way it's also important to remember that both China
and Russia have had an interesting role in this whole process so as I pointed
out beu and glass have been essential to all of Iran's military operations from
the the first true promise operation. Um, and Israel was not happy about that,
of course. But in this case, we know that Russia made clear US air force
plans to Iran several days before they took action. We also know that China has
been helping to replenish Iran's um defenses. And of course, from the Chinese and the Russian perspective, it
would make sense because drawing the US into a war of attrition in Iran would take pressure away from Ukraine and
Taiwan without a doubt. They're now talking about moving the THAAD um system away from South Korea and uh bringing
it, you know, and and this idea that perhaps Iran have taken out the the THAAD um the THAD
platform um around the UAE. All of this is unprecedented. All of this, all of
this, none, none of this was expected by the US or Israel. And there's actually
little that Israel can offer um the United States. You also have to remember that Iran easily has over 100,000
drones, has tens of thousand ballistic missiles, at least if not around 100,000.
It can continue this almost at infinitum. The United States and Israel both have
very limited air defenses. What are they going to do? And this is why in the 12-day war, this was partly what made
the United States and Israel essentially beg for a ceasefire. It wasn't the Gulf begging for a ceasefire at that time
because none of the US bases were being targeted. It was solely Israel and the United States were unable to protect
Israel. Israel was out of air defenses and so it was able through the help of
the Gulf to um persuade Iran to stand down and rather than take that warning
and heed that warning, everyone in the region either took it for a weakness or
did not learn the lesson which was being communicated to them. And so they went for a maximum escalation strategy which
is the Israeli way. It is the Zionist way. The Zionist way is a maximalist
unrealistic um uh utopian
um perception of the way things are going to go. They believed, for instance, that they could drive 2
million Palestinians into Egypt, that they could drive two million Palestinians by killing them on mass on
an industrial scale out of Gaza. They failed and they lost. They believed that
with an air force campaign they could then militarily occupy the south of Lebanon. They actually tried and failed
to do that. And ultimately the lesson from Syria is that without local agents,
Israel is unable to achieve its objectives. Now those local agents may be knowingly or unknowingly working for
Israel, but they're local agents. And so in Lebanon, they they have, you know,
local agents, but those local agents have to be a bit shy about their position. Um, and you see with the
Lebanese government now, um, attempting to neutralize the resistance. But those
Israeli soldiers and those tanks, four tanks, Israeli tanks have gone today in one day in Lebanon. If Israel thinks it
can go in and occupy Lebanon, it will learn the very same lesson that it learned before. You know, Trump is
talking about boots on the ground in Iran. That is a completely unrealistic um perception. It would definitely be
the nail in the coffin of the US empire. The United States is in no position to
carry out any type of occupation that it carried out in Iraq or Afghanistan. They were completely um pulled thin. And if
they think they could do that in a country like Iran, which is three times the size of Iraq and has a very coherent
and you know these countries that the United States went into in Iraq and Afghanistan
had unfortunately by the time that they were occupied no army to speak of.
Iran's not the same. It's it's very clearly not the same and they are learning that lesson. And these US
soldiers, how much longer are they going to be willing to die for Israel? Their perception of Iraq and Afghanistan,
rightly or wrongly, is that they were dying for 9/11. Now, that's a very different, psychologically speaking,
that's a very different equation. What you're now saying to these soldiers is that, yeah, you're dying for Benjamin
Netanyahu. That's not going to stay for much longer. And when you look at the aircraft carrier which the toilets were
being blocked up the the um USS Gerald Ford, it's entirely possible and I'm
aware that that you know it has been said that this was a form of mutiny. And
so if you saw that form of mutiny before the war, what do you think is going to
happen when uh US soldiers are feeling a type of pressure in the region that they
have never ever felt before? What type of stigma do you think will then be attached not only to the US military but
also to the Israelis? Do they really believe Do they really believe that they
are in invincible in the face of public opinion? Do they do they not believe
that it's a factor at all? Do they really believe that people that have moved to the Gulf to escape taxes in
their home country are going to be happy to live next to US bases? Do they believe the people employed to clean the
bases are going to want to go in? that they believe the people employed to work in restaurants in these bases are going to want to go and work at Burger King or
McDonald's inside a US military base. When when this level of pressure is
sustained for even a few weeks, imagine this type of pressure sustained
for 6 months because that's what Iran has in mind. It has in mind that it will fight like this for six months. the
whole entire world will change. If you have six months of a similar nature to
these last few days, we're in a different world at that point.
Yeah. And there's a lot of talk low-key of this turning into a war of attrition,
which however we want to view that term, I'm not sure I would use that. uh just only
because I think Iran is if we look at all these waves of operation true promise 4 we can see that uh they are
they have a very diverse and very unpredictable strategy uh that they are
employing and uh if a war of attrition means a long grind out kind of standoff
between uh the the waring party the aggressors uh US and Israel and Iran. uh
we just don't know. While we know that the Pentagon and the the w you know the
west in general is very worried about their ammunitions and stockpiles and air
defenses. Iran is not uh spreading the message of uh having you just said in
there there's indications of an infinite capabilities if they're continuing to produce the drones. if they're continue
to produce even just the short-range missiles, which probably don't need all that much if they're doing it underground. Yeah, this is this could be
a forever war that I don't think the United States and Israel have ever uh
understood. And you know, I I'm wondering uh in closing, you know, there's a question low-key, how do we
avoid the Samson option? because we the unpredictability of a declining and a
collapsing uh empire like the United States is and of course Israel attached
to its hip uh it that also leads to some unpredictability I think into how uh its
so-called rulers uh uh react to this kind of disaster.
Well, you know, Danny, there are different lessons from the Vietnam War from different angles. So, in the case
of the Palestinian resistance, in the case of Iran, this working underground
to produce the means to defend yourself, it was seen in the Vietnam War and they
learned from the insurgency how to develop their ways of doing things. Of
course, you had the Punji trap in Vietnam, which was spikes under the ground where US soldiers would trip and
fall in. Um, and they had a a really expansive tunnel system in Vietnam. The
Palestinians, of course, have the same. The Lebanese have the same with the help from North Korea, um, created in the
south of Lebanon. And Iran have the same. The United States came out of Vietnam and created the internet because
what they wanted to do was be able to predict um insurgency to surveil people
and in fact when the internet was being created and uh Yeshua Levine has a a
great book about it called surveillance valley which looks at the foundation of the internet and the way in which at the
universities it was being made MIT for example you had sitins by students
against it and protests against it because they knew of the consequences it would have for people and what the
intentions behind the invention of it was. However, and here's where the
interesting part of this question comes. If you look today at what the internet has been used for by those who are
supporters of the Iranian government, you have Hammer, which is the
Palestinian refugee boy created by Nil Ali, who has his back turned.
Now, it's said that he would only turn around and face the world when he was able to return home to Palestine.
Alhamdulillah, today is the name of an organization which has hacked the emails of Barak. It has hacked the emails of
Benny Gance. It has hacked the emails of a myriad of the founder of Israel's cyber unit. It has hacked emails of
Netanyahu's entire close circle and release that information to the world
and it's had real world uh consequences. The informationational it hacked David
Bena's phone, the uh the head of Moss. Um, so what you're seeing now is an a a
a very um creative way of using the
methods of the enemy um against them against them on the part of Iran and
others in this epic battle for um um
self-determination and ultimately liberation from neoc colonialism. But uh the question here
about the Samson uh doctrine is an interesting one because there will be
those arguing for it on the Israeli side, the use of uh tactical nukes
against Iran. Now even in the case of the use of these kind of weapons and the
the huge amount of damage that that would cause you would not be able to uh
completely subjugate the population. But also you would ensure that the
perception of those in the present and those in the future and the children of those in the future and the
grandchildren of those in the future. You would ultimately clarify who was
good and who was evil. You would ultimately clarify who was right and who was wrong. And you would certainly, if
he hasn't already, put Netanyahu's name in the history books alongside the great
oppressors of human beings that were responsible for the deaths of many
hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. So that would be something he
would have to weigh closely. Ultimately, it would be something that Donald Trump would be against, but I actually think
it would guarantee the break between Israel and the United States and make
and make the clinging to Israel a really an untenable position to have. Um, it
would certainly render Israel persona nongraata in civilized company around
the world for decades to come. Yeah. Uh, great point. I think this is a
good place uh to leave it. I I want to make sure everyone knows that I really appreciate all of the super chats and
the memberships and all of that. And appreciate everyone for watching. I want to make sure everyone knows that Loki's
ex account is in the video description where you can find all of his what he's tracking, what he's doing. Um, I want to
ask you, Loki, is there anything uh that you want to mention here? Nothing at all. Just keep doing what you
you're doing, Danny. And um thank you for your patience today. My apologies to everybody that I was a bit late.
No worries at all. Everyone, we're going to head out of here together. Everyone, hit the like button before you go. I'm going to be back on tomorrow, I think. I
believe with President Muhammad Randi and Pepe Escobar. That will be at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time for these daily updates on what's happening with this
US-Israeli war aggression on Iran and of course the historic retaliation and response by Iran that we are covering
here daily. Everybody hit the like button before you go. that helps keep the conversation going so more people can hear uh both of our guests today and
you can go to the video description as well for all the places to support this channel. Without further ado everyone, bye-bye.

Donald Trump is facing criticism both at home and abroad for his decision to launch military strikes against Iran. Meanwhile, the former head of MI6, John Sawers, has said that the scale of the Iranian response has been greater than what many expected. Elsewhere, Trump's Arab friends are not happy with the US as they accuse the US president of ignoring their security concerns in the wake of the retaliatory strikes by Iran. Rifat Jawaid looks at the latest development related to the ongoing criss in the Middle East.

So corrupt pro-Israeli members of the US
Senate last night approved the Israeli
and American terrorist decision to
illegally invade Iran. This despite the
fact that there is absolutely no legal
or moral basis for such an action. We
all saw in Gaza just how barbaric and
savage the Israelis can be. But now even
the Americans under the Donald Trump
regime are determined to showcase their
depravity.
Last night they bombed an Iranian naval
ship which was returning home after
taking part in a naval exercise with
India. The ship or its 100 plus sailors
weren't taking part in the ongoing
conflict. The Americans learned about
their presence and used their submarine
in the region to sink this ship. Most of
the sailors were given a silent death
off the coast of Sri Lanka. And then
this thug Pete Hexed shared the footage
of his country's barbarity to flaunt the
cowardice of his regime by calling it a
brave act. In fact, yesterday in the uh
Indian Ocean, and we'll play it on the
screen there, an American submarine sunk
an Iranian warship that thought it was
safe in international waters.
Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo. Quiet
death. The first sinking of an enemy
ship by a torpedo since World War II.
Since India under Modi has become
another Israeli andAmerican poodle, it's
no surprise that it did not even
register any protest for such a
despicable act in the waters of its
influence. It happened in in the Indian
Ocean. As I speak, Israeli and American
terrorists have been dropping powerful
bombs on the residential complexes in
Thran indiscriminately.
You can see the visuals of their
barbarity on our telegram channel
details on the screen. At least the
world is now learning about the
genocidal intent of this racist and
genocidal man called Donald Trump. This
demonic creature is completely exposed.
Now, it's clear that there was never a
justifiable reason to attack Iran. I've
said it in many of my previous videos
that Iran never posed any threats to
anyone in the world or region.
If any entity that posed serious threats
to global peace, it was the illegal
settler colony of Israel. This rogue
Zionist entity likes to keep America
engaged in an endless war. War criminal
Netanyahu knows how to keep his American
slaves in the White House gainfully
employed. But the reality is that
despite the win in the Senate vote,
Trump and his terrorist Israeli boss
Netanyahu are not able to change the
global narrative or discussions on this
topic. No one, not even pro-Israeli
propagandists in the West, is able to
make sense of the objective behind the
illegal invasion of Iran. What was the
trigger point? What necessitated this
insane genocidal action? First, Trump
said it was Iran's nuclear program
despite having claimed to obliterate it
totally and completely in June last
year. Then this deranged occupant of the
White House said the objective was
regime change.
A short time ago, the United States
military began major combat operations
in Iran.
Our objective is to defend the American
people by eliminating eminent threats
from the Iranian regime. However, only a
couple of days later, his minion and
Israel foster Marco Rubio said that his
country was dragged into this war to
help Israel. United
States conducted this operation with a
very clear goal in mind. I haven't got a
chance to see a lot of reporting. I
don't understand what the confusion is.
Let me explain it to you and I'll do it
once again as clearly as possible.
Perhaps you'll report it that way. The
United States is conducting an operation
to eliminate the threat of Iran's
short-range ballistic missiles and the
threat posed by their navy, particularly
to naval assets. That is what it is
focused on doing right now and it's
doing quite successfully. I'll leave it
to the Pentagon and the Department of
War to discuss the tactics behind that
and the progress that's being made. That
is the clear objective of this mission.
The second question I've been asked is
why now? Well, there's two reasons why
now. The first is it was abundantly
clear that if Iran came under attack by
anyone, the United States or Israel or
anyone, they were going to respond and
respond against the United States. The
orders had been delegated down to the
field commanders. It was automatic and
in fact it beared to be true because in
fact the within an hour of the initial
attack on the on the leadership
compound, the uh missile forces in the
south and in the north for that matter
had already been activated to launch. In
fact, those had already been
pre-positioned. The third is the
assessment that was made that if we
stood and waited for that attack to come
first before we hit them, we would
suffer much higher casualties. And so
the president made the very wise
decision. He we knew that there was
going to be an Israeli action. We knew
that that would precipitate an attack
against American forces. And we knew
that if we didn't preemptively go after
them before they launched those attacks,
we would suffer higher casualties and
perhaps even hire those killed. And then
we would all be here answering questions
about why we knew that and didn't.
Another minion of Trump, Pete Hex, told
us yesterday that the US was executing
the Israeli mission.
To our steadfast partner, Israel,
your mission is being executed with
unmatched skill and iron determination.
The failure to dislodge the Iranian
government or cause unrest in the
country means that they don't have any
objective now. But since they have
started the war, so they can't back out
from their crazy mission.
And this man wanted the Nobel Peace
Prize. He desperately wanted it.
If you listen to the spokesperson of
terrorist Netanyahu, you would be
blown away by her irrational justification for
this illegal war. She says Israel had to
attack Iran because Iran produced 100
missiles a month and the settler colony
was able to procure only seven
interceptor a months. Then this would
have created a massive imbalance
according to her, and therefore Iran had
to be bombed. The Iranians were
rebuilding their missile arsenal, and they were continuing
to view it as a shield for their nuclear
weapons program because that's what they were
seeking to do and they were
moving towards doing that. And in
fact beginning to have an
industrial line that was going to
produce 100 missiles a month, and you
know we're only capable of producing
seven interceptor missiles a month.
I mean we are dealing with mentally sick
people here.
They have absolutely no justification,
absolutely no right to live in a
civilized world.
But these are the people who are
controlling the region and the wider
west through their paid MPs,
congressmen, congresswomen, senators,
lords and dames in the west.
I do not believe in conspiracy theories,
but knowing what we know now about the
sheer depravity of the thought processes
of these human devils, nothing sounds
off limits for these savages.
Here's one thing no one is talking
about. Not sure why, but the 28th of
February, the day uh Israel and the US
attacked Iran is September 11th. How's
that? Let me explain.
February 28th was the 11th day of
Ramadan. And Ramadan is the 9th month of
the or in the uh Islamic calendar. So it
was the 11th day of the 9th month. So
it's another
9/11 ritual.
You want more, right? Who was the first
victim that we knew about during the
attack? Exactly. An elementary school.
100 girls died. Why? Because it's it's a
pure blood.
Th this is uh how they feed their
master, right? Does it remind you of
something? Yep. Exactly. Epstein and his
gang. Same people, same behavior, same
prince, same attitude,
just the same gang. So wake up and open
your eyes so that you know who's in
control. Open your book, whatever your
book is, and you'll find it there. So
wake up.
Even the Arab rulers are now realizing
that Israeli and American terrorists
only cared about themselves and no one
else. This is becoming increasingly
evident in the public discourse even in
the US like this one on Tucker Carson
show.
The Arabs are going to say you're not
building back in our in our countries
anymore. So
why would they? We didn't defend them. I
mean that's this is a reciprocal
relationship. They're not doing this
because they love us. They give us deals
on they billions, hundreds of billions
in foreign investment in the United
States, all this. But in exchange,
we promised to protect them and we
didn't.
That's right. And in fact, there's
there's reports and I think they're
credible. Um, in fact, a Saudi official
was complaining about this two days ago.
Basically, whatever air defense systems
were in these Arab countries were sent
over to Israel.
Yeah. and they actually left our own
bases and people um vulnerable, our own
government did to protect Israeli
targets rather than to protect our our
men and women in uniform.
Do you believe that's true? Do you
believe the US government prioritized
Israel over our own troops?
If you had asked me this a year or two
ago, I would have said no way. But after
seeing that Huckabe interview, by the
way, bravo. Uh after seeing that Huckabe
interview, uh I can't imagine how we
didn't do that.
When even CNN is forced to broadcast
this, it shows just how disgusted even
the pro-Zionist American media outlets
are by Trump's decision to join Israeli
barbarians to attack Iran. Are you
surprised at the extent of Iran's
retaliation?
Well, I am surprised at the president's
surprise. Respectfully, I would any
recall that the the crown prince and
other Gulf readers have been urging
America not to undertake military action
against Iran because all of us believe
that that action will not remain
confined to Iran. That Iran will
retaliate against American presence in
the area which is present in all of the
Gulf States and as far away as Turkey.
Apparently,
the CNN didn't stop here. It interviewed
the former UK spy chief and diplomat
John Simmers. He has some serious
warnings for Trump and his terrorist
friend Netanyahu. I I think this
conflict has already expanded beyond
what most people expected. I think the
scale of the Iranian response has been
greater than many anticipated. Perhaps
wrongly, they should have anticipated.
Yeah, I was going to ask you because
every they said it loud and clear. Well,
well, certainly they said it loud and
clear and they warned the countries up
and down the Gulf, uh, that if you get
involved in this, we're going to hit
you.
Um, and you can see the rationale from
the Iranian point of view. They want to
build up as much pressure as they can
through America's friends in the Gulf
through energy markets and so on in
order to uh get um Trump to call an end
to this assault on on their country and
on their regime. Now, I don't have any
sympathy with the Iranian regime
whatsoever. I think is a is is a vile
and vicious regime. But I just think
that uh the experience of the last 25
years, whether it's on our side in Iraq
and Afghanistan and and Libya or whether
it's on other countries side like
Russia's experience in Ukraine is once
you start a conflict like this, you may
think it's only going to last four or
five days or four or five weeks. Uh but
it has a habit of of the reverberations
spreading much more widely and there's a
there's a real risk in this case of that
happening. I think in some ways United
States in the confusion uh between
various members of the administration
has rode back on its objectives. This
or they've coalesed around a different
objective. This is not the objective
that we were told.
The loose talk about regime change has
gone and they're now talking about.
You say loose talk, it was an actual war
aim. President Trump said it many times.
Netanyahu said it many times. They said
it. That was a war aim. It was it I say
loose talk because it was loosely said
with no no willingness to follow it up.
The only way you could achieve regime
change in in Iran is by putting ground
troops in. And I sincerely hope the
United States doesn't make doesn't
follow its initial mistake of launching
this war with a second mistake of
putting ground.
So you think it's a mistake? If you
think it's a mistake, which many do,
many agree with you, certainly a war of
choice, certainly one that means, you
know, Trump said, "Oh, they were going
to hit us first." No evidence of that.
Oh, they have reconstituted their
nuclear program. No evidence of that.
Oh, they have intercontinental ballistic
missiles that can reach us. They don't.
So, lots of flimsiness despite the
horrendousness of the regime against its
own people. So, how do you think and
Israel has just said whoever Iran
chooses as a successor to harmony will
pretty much assassinate them or we will.
How does this end? So, Mr. Hexth has set
out in his own sort of emotional way a
commitment about missiles and nuclear
and now that gives the military targets
they can hit and targets they can
demonstrate have been destroyed. I think
that will end up being the goal of the
US administration. And as the pressure
on the economy, on global markets ramps
up, pressure on energy supplies, I think
the president will feel that there's a
time to declare, a time to finish this
uh this uh this conflict. We'll wake up
one morning uh like we did last Saturday
when we discover suddenly this this has
started. We'll wake up one morning and
find it suddenly being finished. Why is
it difficult for anyone to understand
that you can never bomb Iran into
submission? You couldn't eradicate Hamas
despite more than two years of
indiscriminate bombings and flattening
of entire Gaza and slaughtering more
than 600,000 innocent men, women,
children, and babies. What makes you
think you can defeat Iran in a few days
or even weeks or even months? And Iran
is not even an open air prison spread
across a few hundred square kilometers
of area just like Gaza. Iran is a
country that is three times the size of
France, 4.6 times of Germany, and nearly
seven times the United Kingdom. And
these American and Israeli terrorists
dream of defeating Iran in days, weeks,
and months.
They would be able to kill a lot of
innocent people. No doubt about that. or
even destroy infrastructure because any
coward can drop bombs from a distance
when there is hardly any resistance to
their air superiority.
They have just bombed a 12,000 seat
stadium in Thran. That is their bravery.
The visual of that bombing and the
destruction is for you to see now on
your screen.
How is this a legitimate target in any
conflict unless your aim is to just
display your terrorism?
So Iran never exported terrorism. But
the brutal terrorism unleashed by the
Americans and Israelis are on full
display and the whole world is
witnessing this in real time.
If the Americans and Israelis were
really brave, these terrorist would have
entered Iran. in fact should have
entered Iran and physically removed the
current current leadership or the
corrupt and genocidal regime.
But they know they are cowards. They
fear deaths.
They know the risks attached to that
particular decision.
They couldn't defeat the Taliban or the
Iraqis despite years of occupation of
their countries and murdering millions
of people there.
You think they stand a chance against
Iranians who are already giving them
grief? As I speak, the Iranians have
sunk another US oil tanker in the
Persian Gulf. This morning, they hit the
Bengurian airport with their drones. The
damage caused by Iranian missiles inside
the settler colony, I'm talking about
Tel Aviv or Jerusalem or Hifa, is
reaching another level.
The Israeli government has imposed a
brutal crackdown on anyone sharing the
visuals of this damage on social media.
That's the reason you're not able to see
that. Even channels like CNN are not
allowed to report this.
Want to go up there. We're not showing
you that because we're not going to show
u the Israeli government does not allow
us or want us to show where that may
have come up that interceptor. But I'm
not
I can't see this madness ending anytime
soon. This is also a lesson for those
trigger happy Iranians living in the
west or shall I call them the western
count's useful idiots. The
indiscriminate bombing by Israeli and
American terrorists are not going to
spare your loved ones just because you
agreed to perform half naked dance in
your living rooms to please your western
masters. Don't expect any sympathy when
you learn that you have lost contacts
with your loved ones in Iran for good.
you would have sponsored their murders.
That's it from me. Thank you very much
for your support of this platform and
our journalism. If you haven't

bless you all.

seven interceptor missiles a month.
I mean we are dealing with mentally sick
people here.
They have absolutely no justification,
absolutely no right to live in a
civilized world.
But these are the people who are
controlling the region and the wider
west through their paid MPs,
congressmen, congresswomen, senators,
lords and dames in the west.
I do not believe in conspiracy theories,
but knowing what we know now about the
sheer depravity of the thought processes
of these human devils, nothing sounds
off limits for these savages.
Here's one thing no one is talking
about. Not sure why, but the 28th of
February, the day uh Israel and the US
attacked Iran is September 11th. How's
that? Let me explain.
February 28th was the 11th day of
Ramadan. And Ramadan is the 9th month of
the or in the uh Islamic calendar. So it
was the 11th day of the 9th month. So
it's another
9/11 ritual.
You want more, right? Who was the first
victim that we knew about during the
attack? Exactly. An elementary school.
100 girls died. Why? Because it's it's a
pure blood.
Th this is uh how they feed their
master, right? Does it remind you of
something? Yep. Exactly. Epstein and his
gang. Same people, same behavior, same
prince, same attitude,
just the same gang. So wake up and open
your eyes so that you know who's in
control. Open your book, whatever your
book is, and you'll find it there. So
wake up.
Even the Arab rulers are now realizing
that Israeli and American terrorists
only cared about themselves and no one
else. This is becoming increasingly
evident in the public discourse even in
the US like this one on Tucker Carson
show.
The Arabs are going to say you're not
building back in our in our countries
anymore. So
why would they? We didn't defend them. I
mean that's this is a reciprocal
relationship. They're not doing this
because they love us. They give us deals
on they billions, hundreds of billions
in foreign investment in the United
States, all this. But in exchange,
we promised to protect them and we
didn't.
That's right. And in fact, there's
there's reports and I think they're
credible. Um, in fact, a Saudi official
was complaining about this two days ago.
Basically, whatever air defense systems
were in these Arab countries were sent
over to Israel.
Yeah. and they actually left our own
bases and people um vulnerable, our own
government did to protect Israeli
targets rather than to protect our our
men and women in uniform.
Do you believe that's true? Do you
believe the US government prioritized
Israel over our own troops?
If you had asked me this a year or two
ago, I would have said no way. But after
seeing that Huckabe interview, by the
way, bravo. Uh after seeing that Huckabe
interview, uh I can't imagine how we
didn't do that.
When even CNN is forced to broadcast
this, it shows just how disgusted even
the pro-Zionist American media outlets
are by Trump's decision to join Israeli
barbarians to attack Iran. Are you
surprised at the extent of Iran's
retaliation?
Well, I am surprised at the president's
surprise. Respectfully, I would any
recall that the the crown prince and
other Gulf readers have been urging
America not to undertake military action
against Iran because all of us believe
that that action will not remain
confined to Iran. That Iran will
retaliate against American presence in
the area which is present in all of the
Gulf States and as far away as Turkey.
Apparently,
the CNN didn't stop here. It interviewed
the former UK spy chief and diplomat
John Simmers. He has some serious
warnings for Trump and his terrorist
friend Netanyahu. I I think this
conflict has already expanded beyond
what most people expected. I think the
scale of the Iranian response has been
greater than many anticipated. Perhaps
wrongly, they should have anticipated.
Yeah, I was going to ask you because
every they said it loud and clear. Well,
well, certainly they said it loud and
clear and they warned the countries up
and down the Gulf, uh, that if you get
involved in this, we're going to hit
you.
Um, and you can see the rationale from
the Iranian point of view. They want to
build up as much pressure as they can
through America's friends in the Gulf
through energy markets and so on in
order to uh get um Trump to call an end
to this assault on on their country and
on their regime. Now, I don't have any
sympathy with the Iranian regime
whatsoever. I think is a is is a vile
and vicious regime. But I just think
that uh the experience of the last 25
years, whether it's on our side in Iraq
and Afghanistan and and Libya or whether
it's on other countries side like
Russia's experience in Ukraine is once
you start a conflict like this, you may
think it's only going to last four or
five days or four or five weeks. Uh but
it has a habit of of the reverberations
spreading much more widely and there's a
there's a real risk in this case of that
happening. I think in some ways United
States in the confusion uh between
various members of the administration
has rode back on its objectives. This
or they've coalesed around a different
objective. This is not the objective
that we were told.
The loose talk about regime change has
gone and they're now talking about.
You say loose talk, it was an actual war
aim. President Trump said it many times.
Netanyahu said it many times. They said
it. That was a war aim. It was it I say
loose talk because it was loosely said
with no no willingness to follow it up.
The only way you could achieve regime
change in in Iran is by putting ground
troops in. And I sincerely hope the
United States doesn't make doesn't
follow its initial mistake of launching
this war with a second mistake of
putting ground.
So you think it's a mistake? If you
think it's a mistake, which many do,
many agree with you, certainly a war of
choice, certainly one that means, you
know, Trump said, "Oh, they were going
to hit us first." No evidence of that.
Oh, they have reconstituted their
nuclear program. No evidence of that.
Oh, they have intercontinental ballistic
missiles that can reach us. They don't.
So, lots of flimsiness despite the
horrendousness of the regime against its
own people. So, how do you think and
Israel has just said whoever Iran
chooses as a successor to harmony will
pretty much assassinate them or we will.
How does this end? So, Mr. Hexth has set
out in his own sort of emotional way a
commitment about missiles and nuclear
and now that gives the military targets
they can hit and targets they can
demonstrate have been destroyed. I think
that will end up being the goal of the
US administration. And as the pressure
on the economy, on global markets ramps
up, pressure on energy supplies, I think
the president will feel that there's a
time to declare, a time to finish this
uh this uh this conflict. We'll wake up
one morning uh like we did last Saturday
when we discover suddenly this this has
started. We'll wake up one morning and
find it suddenly being finished. Why is
it difficult for anyone to understand
that you can never bomb Iran into
submission? You couldn't eradicate Hamas
despite more than two years of
indiscriminate bombings and flattening
of entire Gaza and slaughtering more
than 600,000 innocent men, women,
children, and babies. What makes you
think you can defeat Iran in a few days
or even weeks or even months? And Iran
is not even an open air prison spread
across a few hundred square kilometers
of area just like Gaza. Iran is a
country that is three times the size of
France, 4.6 times of Germany, and nearly
seven times the United Kingdom. And
these American and Israeli terrorists
dream of defeating Iran in days, weeks,
and months.
They would be able to kill a lot of
innocent people. No doubt about that. or
even destroy infrastructure because any
coward can drop bombs from a distance
when there is hardly any resistance to
their air superiority.
They have just bombed a 12,000 seat
stadium in Thran. That is their bravery.
The visual of that bombing and the
destruction is for you to see now on
your screen.
How is this a legitimate target in any
conflict unless your aim is to just
display your terrorism?
So Iran never exported terrorism. But
the brutal terrorism unleashed by the
Americans and Israelis are on full
display and the whole world is
witnessing this in real time.
If the Americans and Israelis were
really brave, these terrorist would have
entered Iran. in fact should have
entered Iran and physically removed the
current current leadership or the
corrupt and genocidal regime.
But they know they are cowards. They
fear deaths.
They know the risks attached to that
particular decision.
They couldn't defeat the Taliban or the
Iraqis despite years of occupation of
their countries and murdering millions
of people there.
You think they stand a chance against
Iranians who are already giving them
grief? As I speak, the Iranians have
sunk another US oil tanker in the
Persian Gulf. This morning, they hit the
Bengurian airport with their drones. The
damage caused by Iranian missiles inside
the settler colony, I'm talking about
Tel Aviv or Jerusalem or Hifa, is
reaching another level.
The Israeli government has imposed a
brutal crackdown on anyone sharing the
visuals of this damage on social media.
That's the reason you're not able to see
that. Even channels like CNN are not
allowed to report this.
Want to go up there. We're not showing
you that because we're not going to show
u the Israeli government does not allow
us or want us to show where that may
have come up that interceptor. But I'm
not
I can't see this madness ending anytime
soon. This is also a lesson for those
trigger happy Iranians living in the
west or shall I call them the western
count's useful idiots. The
indiscriminate bombing by Israeli and
American terrorists are not going to
spare your loved ones just because you
agreed to perform half naked dance in
your living rooms to please your western
masters. Don't expect any sympathy when
you learn that you have lost contacts
with your loved ones in Iran for good.
you would have sponsored their murders.
That's it from me. Thank you very much
for your support of this platform and
our journalism. If you haven't
subscribed to my channel, please do so
because that's one of the many ways you
can support independent journalism. God
bless you all.

BREAKING: Iran’s foreign minister has just warned that the United States “will come to bitterly regret” the precedent it has set after an American submarine torpedoed and sank the Iranian frigate IRIS Dena in international waters near Sri Lanka.
The warship was returning from a multinational naval exercise hosted by India when it was struck by a U.S. submarine. The vessel carried about 180–200 crew members, with 87 sailors confirmed dead and 32 rescued by the Sri Lankan Navy after the ship sank.
Iranian officials say the attack — carried out far from the Middle East and outside Sri Lanka’s territorial waters — sets a dangerous international precedent and signals the widening of the U.S.–Iran war into the Indian Ocean and global shipping lanes.

Double blow to Trump by Iran; weapons shortage; Ben Gurion airport targeted | Janta Ka Reporter
Janta Ka Reporter
Mar 6, 2026
Iran's retaliatory strikes have caused plenty of problems for the US armed forces in the Middle East. Faced with a desperate situation, the Pentagon is reportedly seeking an urgent $50 billion budget approval from Congress to buy THAAD, Patriot and Tomahawk missiles so that they can withstand Iranian retaliation. Meanwhile, Iran has targeted the Ben Gurion airport with Khorramshahr-4. Rifat Jawaid looks at Trump's predicament and the cost that US taxpayers are having to pay for their president's actions.
Transcript
two big developments and this shows the
kind of impact the Iranian retaliation
is having on both the US and the illegal
settler colony of Israel. Faced with
Iran's ability to withstand the American
and Israeli transgression, the Pentagon
has now asked for $50 billion worth
additional military budgets approval.
Then last night, Iran bombed the hell
out of Bengurian airport. If you watch
the video on our telegram channel, you
would have seen the extraordinary
visuals of Iran's Kuram Shaher for
enjoying the complete dominance of skies
in the set colony. Meanwhile, a CNN
reporter has busted his own country's
lies on this situation in Iran, but the
BBC in the UK has further disgraced
itself with more instances of fake news
on Iran. This would be the broad focus
of my video today. So, please stay
tuned. Donald Trump and his terrorist
Israeli boss Benjamin Netanyahu had
deluded themselves when they thought of
replicating their Venezuela model in
Iran even 7 days after their illegal
invasion of Iran. They have failed to
achieve anything that they desired.
Instead, Iran has struck them so hard
that the rogue regimes of these two
entities have no idea how to negotiate
with the barrage of Iranian missiles.
The Iranian retaliation is also causing
a massive shortages of ammunition for
the so-called most powerful country in
the world and this has come as a shock
to members of US Congress. A report by
Al Jazzer said the cost of continuing
with the illegal war against Iran was $1
billion a day. So Trump's madness and
his desperation to fight an illegal war
of Israel is costing US taxpayers $1
billion a day. And this is not enough.
The Pentagon has sought an approval of a
$50 billion supplementary budget from
Congress so that it could buy more
Tomahawk missiles, the THAD interceptor
missiles and Patriot missiles. That's
because the US and its allies are fast
running out of them. And this is only on
the seventh day of the illegal war.
Imagine what Iranians could do to the US
economy if they manage to sustain for
just few more weeks.
Trump has decided to spend $1 billion a
day on the mass murder of Iranian school
girls, bombing of hospitals, 12,000
seater stadium and offices of TV
channels when he could have used this
money to fight growing poverty in his
own country. Nearly 36 million Americans
are suffering from poverty. as they
struggle to feed their families and
afford other necessary expenses.
But they have a mad dog in the White
House who is happy to waste $1 billion
every single day on a war that he
started to quench his genocidal thirst.
It seems these maniacs haven't learned
anything from their experiences in Iraq
or let's say Afghanistan. Listen to this
American expert Paul Reov.
They're close to the president who said
this thing is going to be over like
that. They they predicted it would be
over this Friday, two days from now. And
now we've got the Pentagon Pete Hegath
saying this is just the beginning as
they move deeper into Iran. What is your
current evaluation of the situation
we're in?
Those guys you talked to probably didn't
serve in combat.
Correct.
The the reality is that the lid is off
now. I mean, they've talked about uh
striking Iran for a long time, and
there's this idea that it can be
contained. It's not contained. It's it's
a regional war now. Our allies are being
hit. Multiple NATO allies are being
threatened. Turkey could get involved.
And I think there's a a chicken hawk
perspective that war is going to be
easy. War is going to be quick. They
came out of Venezuela with a head full
of steam thinking that they could do
this without American casualties. But
the reality is things go sideways. And
this is the beginning of what could be a
very long and protracted war, but it's
also the beginning of the next phase
potentially beyond Iran because he's hit
eight other countries in the last year.
And he continues to be all gas, no
breaks, nothing slowing him down.
They're doing a war powers act vote four
or five days after he goes to war. And
last night he hit Ecuador. He's he's
striking Ecuador. He's talking about
striking Cuba and other places. So this
is a new normal where Trump is doing
whatever he wants and throwing the
middle finger up to Congress and
everyone else. And the real question, I
think, especially for the Senate and for
Congress, is what are you going to do to
stop him or slow him down if he wants to
go further like put boots on the ground
because it looks like he will put boots
on the ground and they'll tweet about it
and they'll do press conferences and
he'll just keep going.
Another American expert, Brett McGherk,
who served with many presidents, has his
doubts on the US strategy on Iran.
senior national security posts under the
last four presidents including during
President Trump's first term. Uh Brett
Secretary Hegth also said today that
Iran is making a quote bad
miscalculation in his in his words if it
thinks the US will slow strike six days
in where do you think this is is heading
and do you still think Iran is hoping to
kind of basically buy time?
Exactly. I think stepping back heading
into a onewe mark good time to kind of
make an assessment and I think you hit
the mark there. I'm reminded of
something Anderson the Taliban used to
say about the Americans. You might
remember this that the Americans have
the watches but we own the time. America
might have military proficiency and but
at the end of the day they'll be there
and we won't. And I've spent a lot of
time, Anderson, through hostage
negotiations with the most ideological
part of Iran's system, the intelligence
services and the revolutionary guards.
That's exactly how they think. And if
you kind of step back of what they are
trying to do, uh they are trying to
shorten the clock for the United States.
Iran knows that it is not in a hurry. It
doesn't have to go anywhere. Americans
are the one who have come to Iran's
doorstep by covering a distance of
thousands of miles. They can't stay here
forever, can they? Staying in the region
will cost them both financially and
their lives. Iran can slow down their
response and even pick and choose their
targets carefully and strategically as
it did last night when it enjoyed a
complete dominance of the Israeli skies
by dropping multi-warhead Kuram Shahar 4
missiles. You can see the glimpse of
this attack on your screen. The
Bengorian airport which is also used for
military purposes was later seen
engulfed in fire. The Iranian military
claimed that its missile had also struck
American F-35 jets which were parked at
the airport. Even Israeli media outlets
have started to report on the attack on
the Bengorian airport after choosing to
not do so for several hours. Israeli
flights had to be diverted last night
because of the Iranian strikes. Iran has
vowed to launch similar attacks on the
airport in the future. These are not the
only setbacks that the rogue regimes of
the US and the settler colony of Israel
have had to deal with. Trump and
Netanyahu's decision to bomb Iran, which
was posing absolutely no threats to
anyone, has found very few takers in the
West. This was writer George Money on
BBC question time last night. Churchill
and his counterparts in the US launched
a coup against the democratically
elected uh prime minister of Iran,
Muhammad Mosedc in 1953
um because he was nationalizing the oil
industry. He said this oil belongs to
Iran. It shouldn't be all captured by
the Anglo Iranian oil company and
siphoned out of our country and the
wealth taken away from us. A perfectly
reasonable position. But Churchill
wasn't having any of that. He um
prompted the US in particular the CIA to
launch a coup, overthrew Mosedc, who was
a highly popular uh leader. Um he was he
was revered by his people to an extent
that very few of ours ever are and
installed instead uh reinstalled the
Shaan Raza Palavi with his brutal cruel
regime. And when that regime was
overthrown in the Iranian revolution in
1979,
um one of the main reasons that people
gave for that um new revolution was the
overthrow of Mosedc in 1973 and 1953. So
we are now living rather the Iranians
are now living with this brutal and
horrible Ayatollah's regime which was
instituted in response to what the
British and the Americans did before.
This is what's called imperial blowback.
And we think we're being so clever and
so brilliant in wading in to countries
about which our governments often seem
to know very little, plunging in and um
firing missiles and staging coups and
all the rest of it. But we don't think
of those long-term outcomes, those
long-term consequences, and the
absolutely catastrophic effects that
they can have many decades down the
line.
Well, the question asked whether we're
being dragged into a war with no clear
outcomes. We're also being dragged into
a war with no clear objectives. We've
seen Trump say, "It's regime change."
Oh, no, it's not regime change. It's
because of the nuclear weapons. Oh, I
wiped those out in June. There are no
nuclear weapons. Oh, it's u it's because
of an imminent threat. No evidence
whatsoever of an imminent threat. The
real reason for this attack is
spectacle. That's what Trump trades in.
That's what he loves. He wants to be the
center of attention. He wants to be
making global headlines. That's his
happy place. Now, for us to get dragged
into that is not only criminal, it's
foolish in the utmost degree. This war
has no basis in international law
whatsoever. There are two uh valid
reasons why you can go to war. One is
self-defense and the other is if you got
a United Nations Security Council
resolution. This has neither. James
Cleverly has leed nothing from Iraq, has
leed nothing from Afghanistan, has leed
nothing from Libya. What we see here is
Donald Trump acting as he always does as
a global chaos generator. And the
further we stand away from that, the
better off we will be.
Iran's decision to choke the state of
Hormos is already having a catastrophic
impact on the global economy. Oil and
gas prices have started to skyrocket,
which would then fuel the inflation. A
few moments ago, I learned that as many
as 52 French ships were currently stuck
in the Arabian Gulf and another eight in
the Red Sea.
This is Claire Short who was an
influential labor minister in the past
and even served in the Tony Blair
government as the international
development secretary. She had even
resigned in protest against Tony Blair's
decision to invade Iraq.
Watch what she has to say now on the
illegal invasion of Iran.
I see fudge. I I mean there's absolutely
no question in international law that
the attack on Iran by Israel and the US
was completely illegal and there's no
way around that and every serious
authority agrees and and Star for the
first time and I all credit to him said
no we're not joining in we believe in
international law and I thought at last
Staring up to America it's not just you
know counting again and again but then
we get all this muddle fudge we've got
now because Britain's so entangled with
the US and so entangled with the idea
that it makes us important to have what
we call a special relationship but not
very many people in the US do they call
Israel their special relationship and
you're getting all this fudging now I
mean if it was wrong to attack then it's
it's wrong to give America the authority
to use our bases to continue to attack
and I understand that the president of
Cyprus said, "Yes, we want you to
protect us, but we don't want you
authorizing America to um attack from
Cyprus." So, we're now in a muddle
again. And and it's I mean, to be fair
to Star and Co., Britain is up to its
neck. It's it's military coordination,
its intelligence coordination
with the American alliance. and we need
to start disentangling and it can't be
done overnight and that would be a
difficult process but rather than fight
given the situation in Europe as well
and this is an issue for all European
powers too
we should be more clear about where
we're going
that that that's where we go and we our
job is to have a defensive arrangement
in Europe and then I we have to say what
is the bias in Cyprus really for for
America to you know attack Gaza what is
the Diego go Garcia for is so that
America gets access to the Middle East.
I mean, we could save some money, focus,
have a clearer strategy
so we was brave for a bit and now we're
back into fudge because we don't dare to
disagree with the US.
Meanwhile, US media outlet CNN has
managed to send its reporter to Thran.
This reporter has filed his first report
from inside Thran.
This would cause plenty of heartburn to
Trump and Netanyahu who were expecting
the Iranian capital to implode to
witness widespread unrest and chaos by
now. Taking a quick break for a coffee
along the way. We've been driving for
several hours. There's a couple of
things that we've noticed. Number one is
that first of all, all the shops are
open. All the shops are really well
stocked even with with fresh things like
for instance fruits and vegetables. Um
coffee obviously also available as well.
And then also the gas stations. There's
no long lines as gas stations. Fuel
seems readily available and you just
don't see any sort of degree of panic
anywhere. But in the UK, the BBC has
once again disgraced itself with fake
news. There are already questions on the
BBC's biases while covering the Iran
story. This is what I heard on the BBC
Radio 5 Live this morning where the
standin presenter Stfan Powell said
this. RAF Akrati is was struck by an
Iranian drone on Sunday. It's been
targeted since as well. And
this despite the fact that the UK
Ministry of Defense yesterday clarified
that the drone fired at the RAF base in
Cyprus hadn't come from Iran. I asked
the presenter on Twitter for
clarification and even apology. I also
tagged the BBC press office, but no
response from anyone. Now you tell me
why we must continue to pay the license
fee to fund the fat salaries of these
incompetent and arrogant presenters.
These presenters are hugely expensive.
Make no mistake about it. In return, we
expect them to be just humble and do
their bloody job with honesty.
Why is this an unreasonable expectation?
This is significant given that the BBC
is busy negotiating a fresh funding
arrangement with the government. There
is absolutely no way we should fund this
organization which has turned rogue in
recent years. The BBC can always ask the
rogue regime of Israel to fund its
propaganda and war criminal Benjamin
Netanyahu would be more than happy to do
that. But don't disgrace the profession
of journalism in our name and with our
hard-earned money called the license
fee. That's it for me. Thank you very
much for your support of this platform
and our journalism. If you haven't
subscribed to my channel, please do so
because that's one of the many ways you
can support independent journalism. God
bless you all.

in Europe and then I we have to say what
is the bias in Cyprus really for for
America to you know attack Gaza what is
the Diego go Garcia for is so that
America gets access to the Middle East.
I mean, we could save some money, focus,
have a clearer strategy
so we was brave for a bit and now we're
back into fudge because we don't dare to
disagree with the US.
Meanwhile, US media outlet CNN has
managed to send its reporter to Thran.
This reporter has filed his first report
from inside Thran.
This would cause plenty of heartburn to
Trump and Netanyahu who were expecting
the Iranian capital to implode to
witness widespread unrest and chaos by
now. Taking a quick break for a coffee
along the way. We've been driving for
several hours. There's a couple of
things that we've noticed. Number one is
that first of all, all the shops are
open. All the shops are really well
stocked even with with fresh things like
for instance fruits and vegetables. Um
coffee obviously also available as well.
And then also the gas stations. There's
no long lines as gas stations. Fuel
seems readily available and you just
don't see any sort of degree of panic
anywhere. But in the UK, the BBC has
once again disgraced itself with fake
news. There are already questions on the
BBC's biases while covering the Iran
story. This is what I heard on the BBC
Radio 5 Live this morning where the
standin presenter Stfan Powell said
this. RAF Akrati is was struck by an
Iranian drone on Sunday. It's been
targeted since as well. And
this despite the fact that the UK
Ministry of Defense yesterday clarified
that the drone fired at the RAF base in
Cyprus hadn't come from Iran. I asked
the presenter on Twitter for
clarification and even apology. I also
tagged the BBC press office, but no
response from anyone. Now you tell me
why we must continue to pay the license
fee to fund the fat salaries of these
incompetent and arrogant presenters.
These presenters are hugely expensive.
Make no mistake about it. In return, we
expect them to be just humble and do
their bloody job with honesty.
Why is this an unreasonable expectation?
This is significant given that the BBC
is busy negotiating a fresh funding
arrangement with the government. There
is absolutely no way we should fund this
organization which has turned rogue in
recent years. The BBC can always ask the
rogue regime of Israel to fund its
propaganda and war criminal Benjamin
Netanyahu would be more than happy to do
that. But don't disgrace the profession
of journalism in our name and with our
hard-earned money called the license
fee. That's it for me. Thank you very
much for your support of this platform
and our journalism. If you haven't
subscribed to my channel, please do so
because that's one of the many ways you
can support independent journalism. God
bless you all.

BREAKING: Russia shocks the world, joins US-Iran war after sudden U-turn; China in Shock - OPTM

Mar 6, 2026
Transcript
We begin with a special report. For the
past several hours, Tehran has been
buzzing with activity that confirms what
many analysts suspected. But the
Pentagon refused to admit the strategic
dynamic of the conflict has just shifted
in a major way. Despite official Kremlin
spokesman saying all the right
diplomatic things, Dmitri Pascov told
the press recently that no request for
aid had been received from Iran. This is
in fact a report in Washington Post
which is now reporting that Russia is
providing Iran with intelligence for
attacks on US forces. Russia may be
providing Iran with intelligence on the
locations of US warships and aircraft in
the Middle East.
Report by Washington Post has now
suggested that Russia is providing Iran
intelligence to target US forces. We are
now getting corroborating reports from
regional capitals that Russian
intelligence is actively flowing to the
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. This
is not just about some portable missiles
signed in a secret deal back in
December. This is about realtime
highclass intelligence on American
positions, radar points, and troop
movements across the region. It appears
that Moscow has made a decisive choice.
And it's a choice that essentially tells
Washington, you will not win this war.
If you are just joining us, we are
witnessing what could be a turning point
in the confrontation between Iran and
the USIsraeli axis and the USIsraeli
axis. What we are seeing is the
activation of the security understanding
that Russia and Iran cemented months
ago. It was back in January 2025 that
the comprehensive strategic partnership
agreement was finalized. And by late
last year, it was ratified and
implemented. While the text of that
treaty might not have the mutual defense
clause like the one Russia signed with
North Korea, make no mistake, the
operational reality on the ground is
something entirely different. We are now
in a phase where the intelligence
sharing between Moscow and Thrron has
reached a level that is directly
impacting US freedom of maneuver in the
region. And honestly, if you have been
following the statements from foreign
minister Sergey Lavrov, this trajectory
was inevitable. Lavrov has made it clear
that the objective is to ensure the
United States does not emerge victorious
from this confrontation. Contrast that
diplomatic bluntness with the chaos we
are seeing coming out of the Trump
administration, which has now been
forced to confirm that Russia is indeed
aiding Iran in what Iran calls its
existential retaliation. Before we go
any further into the specifics of these
coordinates and what they mean for the
American battle groups, I need to ask
you something. We are one of the few
outlets that is actually connecting the
dots here. Looking at the news from
Thrron, cross-referencing it with the
official statements from Moscow and
cutting through the fog of Western
propaganda. If you believe in honest
journalism that doesn't just parrot the
Pentagon line, you need to be a part of
this community. Hit that like button.
Share this video with someone who needs
to understand why the American strategy
is faltering. And please, if you haven't
already, subscribe to the channel. Your
support is what keeps this light shining
on the truths they don't want you to
see. Now, let's get into the meat of
this story because there is a lot to
unpack and frankly the implications are
staggering. Let's go back to that
security agreement because it is the key
to understanding the current moment. The
treaty signed between Presidents Putin
and Pzkian isn't just a piece of paper.
It's a road map for joint operations. It
explicitly covers the exchange of
information and experience between the
intelligence agencies of the two
countries. This is the legal cover for
what is happening right now. I mean this
is the reason why foreign minister Abbas
Arachi stated during a media interview
that Russia and China are partners even
in the midst of war. Take a listen. Your
allies are your allies Russia and China
helping you?
Well, they are supporting us politically
and otherwise.
Now, we are hearing from sources that
Russian satellites are being tasked to
cover specific grids over the Persian
Gulf and the Straight of Hormuz, feeding
the IRGC naval forces with targeting
data on US warships. The Washington
Institute recently acknowledged that
Russia is likely sharing real-time
satellite intelligence and signal data
to help track the movements of American
vessels. Think about that. The US Navy
with all its bravado about controlling
the seas is having its position pinged
by Russian intel that is going straight
to the IRGC. This completely disrupts
the American plan to defeat Iran through
aerial bombardment. You cannot sustain a
campaign of air superiority if the enemy
knows exactly where your support assets
are and when they are vulnerable.
Furthermore, the agreement allows for
joint military exercises on each other's
territories and abroad. Just last month,
we saw the Russian naval helicopter
carrier Stoiki dock at Iran's Bandar
Aabbas base for joint drills in the Gulf
of Oman. While they called it an
exercise to boost maritime security, the
infrastructure is now in place. There is
growing speculation that Russian forces
or at the very least Russian air defense
crews could cross into Iran proper.
Russia shares a border with Iran via the
Caspian Sea. But the movement we are
talking about is the potential transport
of systems like the Verba man pads or
even the more advanced S400 batteries to
strategic locations inside Iran. Iran
signed a massive nearly $590 million
deal back in December for 500 Verbal
Launch units and thousands of missiles
to rebuild its air defense. These are
not just for show. These are systems
designed to deny lowaltitude access to
cruise missiles and drones. If Russian
technicians are accompanying these
systems to ensure they are integrated
with Iranian radar networks, the freedom
of navigation the US Navy loves to tout
becomes a myth. It changes the calculus
from the US hunting Iranian assets to
the US having to navigate a highly
contested electronic and aerial
environment. Now, we have to take a
moment here to mock the utter delusion
coming out of the Pentagon. For weeks,
they have been feeding the media
narratives about taking complete control
of Iranian airspace. They want the
public to believe that they own the
skies, that they can strike anywhere at
will. Yet, the reality is screaming the
opposite. If they had control, they
wouldn't be complaining about Russia
sharing radar points. If they had
control, the IRGC would be blind. But
they aren't. The IRGC is launching and
moving with a level of coordination that
suggests they have a guardian angel and
that angel is named Moscow. The Pentagon
lies because the truth is too
embarrassing. The largest, most funded
military in the history of the world is
struggling to contain a nation that has
been under sanctions for decades. And
that nation is now getting a helping
hand from a technological pier. They
claimed they would degrade Iran's
ability to retaliate. Yet, we are seeing
retaliatory actions that are precise and
painful. This brings us to the revenge
factor because make no mistake, this is
personal for Moscow. The United States
has spent billions flooding Ukraine with
weapons, intelligence, and mercenaries
to bleed Russia. They called it a
strategic defeat for Moscow. Well, now
the tables have turned. Russia is using
the exact same playbook against the US
in the Middle East. They are aiding Iran
to take a pound of flesh for what the US
did in Ukraine. Every piece of
intelligence Russia provides that helps
an IRGC drone evade a Patriot battery is
a message to Washington. How does it
feel to have your own tactics used
against you? It's a classic geopolitical
pivot and it's brilliant in its
simplicity. Russia doesn't necessarily
need to put its own soldiers in the line
of fire. It just needs to enhance Iran's
ability to resist. And by doing so, they
are bleeding American resources,
attention, and prestige exactly when the
US wants to focus on containing China
and Russia itself. And speaking of
bleeding American resources, we have to
talk about the elephant in the room, or
rather the drone in the room. It has
emerged that the United States, the
so-called sole superpower, is pirating
Iranian drone technology.
Lucas Indispensable. Uh, as as many of
you know, and if you don't know, this
was an original Iranian drone design. We
captured it, pulled the guts out, sent
it back to America, put a little Made
America on it, brought it back here, and
we're shooting it uh at the Iranians.
Good targets.
Good targets.
That's right. They have admitted to
reverse engineering the Iranian Shahed
drone and are now fielding their own
version, which they've awkwardly named
the Lucas, or lowcost unmanned combat
attack system. Let that sink in for a
moment. The US military-industrial
complex with its trillion dollar budget
looked at a drone built by a sanctioned
nation and said, "We can't do better, so
we'll just copy theirs." Why would they
do this? Because the Shahed is a
masterpiece of asymmetric warfare. We
aren't talking about a fancy, stealthy,
easily jammed piece of tech. We are
talking about a platform that is
brutally effective and cheap. The Shahed
136, which roars like a lawnmower, and
carries a warhead in its nose, costs
about $20,000 to $50,000 to manufacture.
It's small, can be launched from the
back of a truck, and has a range of
roughly down 200 m. It's designed to
penetrate defenses through sheer
numbers. Now, compare that to the
American Solution to shoot it down. They
use Patriot missiles. Each Patriot
interceptor costs over $3 million per
shot. That is an insane ratio. It is an
economic catastrophe for the US. Every
time Iran sends a swarm of Shaheds or
Lucas drones, if you want to call them
that, they are forcing the US to burn
through millions of dollars in
munitions. The US has pushed every
counter drone system forward, sparing no
expense, as the defense secretary
admitted. But they are fighting a math
problem they cannot win. Even the
cheaper alternatives like the Coyote
drone interceptor cost around $126,500
each. That's still several times the
cost of the Shahed. This exposes the
intellectual bankruptcy of the so-called
largest army in the world. They spent 20
years building drones that cost as much
as fighter jets only to realize that in
a real war you need expendable assets.
The US has struggled to produce lowcost
systems. While Iran, starved of
resources and under constant threat, has
innovated. The Shahed's effectiveness
isn't just about cost. It's about
capability. It uses off-the-shelf
commercial electronics, which ironically
makes it harder to jam because it
doesn't rely on highly complex hackable
military-grade GPS. And as the New York
Times recently highlighted, the counter
tactics have to be constantly updated.
Even the Ukrainians have resorted to
using fishing nets and shotguns against
them because electronic warfare isn't a
silver bullet. So, who is really the
technologically superior force here? Is
it the country that has to buy back its
own stolen tech to try to understand it?
Or is it the country that built that
tech from scratch under the pressure of
the toughest sanctions regime in
history? The fact that the US is now
manufacturing a tweaked version of an
Iranian drone is the ultimate admission
of failure. It is the West admitting
that the Islamic Republic's engineers
outsmarted them. And now with Russia
providing better targeting and
electronic warfare support, those drones
are becoming even more lethal. As we
move forward, the coordination between
Moscow and Thran is only going to get
tighter. Iranian foreign minister Abbas
Arachi has already stated that military
cooperation with Russia is not a secret,
that it continues and will continue.
They are building a joint technological
domain, moving away from the dollar and
sharing everything from gas turbines to
missile technology. The United States
walked into this conflict expecting a
quick victory against an isolated Iran.
Instead, they are finding themselves in
a quagmire, facing a coalition that is
determined, equipped, and increasingly
coordinated. We will continue to track
these developments as they unfold.

Watch this Muslim professor take down
two CNN hosts.
Does Islam promote violence?
Islam doesn't promote violence or peace.
Islam is just a religion. And like every
religion in the world, it depends on
what you bring to it. If you're a
violent person, your Islam, your
Judaism, your Christianity, your
Hinduism is going to be violent. There
are Buddhist marauding Buddhist monks in
Myanmar slaughtering women and children.
Does Buddhism promote violence? Of
course not. people are violent or
peaceful and that depends on their
politics, their social world.
In Saudi Arabia, when women can't vote
and they can't drive and they need
permission from their husband, that's
not extremists.
I mean, again, this is the problem is
that you're talking about a religion of
1 and a2 billion people and certainly
becomes very easy to just simply paint
them all with a single brush by saying,
well, in Saudi Arabia, they can't drive
and so therefore that's somehow
representative of Islam. It's
representative of Saudi Arabia. be
honest though for the most part it is
not a a free and open society for women.
Certainly is in Indonesia and Malaysia.
It certainly is in Bangladesh. It
certainly is in Turkey. Do you know that
Muslims have elected seven women as
their heads of states uh in those Muslim
majority countries? How many women but
for the most part
that hold on hold on a second cuz he
says it's a a Muslim country problem. He
says that in Somalia
Yeah. but that's Yeah. And that's
actually empirically factually
incorrect. It's a central African
problem. Iritraa has almost 90% female
genital mutilation. It's a Christian
country. Ethiopia has 75% uh female
genital mutilation. It's a Christian
country.

Transcript
Welcome everyone. Welcome back to the show. It's your host Danny Haiphong. I'm joined by Charmaine Nani, editor and
columnist of The Cradle. Charmaine, thanks so much for joining. I'm so happy to be here. Discuss the
stuff. Who'd have ever thought? Yeah. No, we have to get right to it, everyone. So, hit the like button as you
come on because that helps boost this show. And let's start with Iran's escalating strikes on Israel. There were
a lot of reports early on Charmaine when this began February 28th that is that Iran was taking a more diverse approach
which it has and mostly hitting the Gulf country assets of the US military but Israel has received a pounding in the
last several days especially overnight. I believe the uh the uh very reserved
count of about 60 missiles uh went overhead uh to Tel Aviv, central Israel
and surrounding areas. I'm just going to play some of the videos as as you react.
Uh Iran has unveiled a cluster munitions which was seen flying over Israel. Uh
essentially the this missile cannot be intercepted at all. Uh and Israel has of
course been crying about uh this because the damage has been devastating. Um so
sorry the damage has been devastating. These are the scenes after these missiles have hit. Uh, Israelis
themselves have broken the sensors. So, a lot of people may some people may not know that Israel heavily censors uh
their citizens, so-called journalists, uh, from being able to record this and Western journalists as well. I'll just
show one of these reports or maybe we can play both before you react. Here is one. This is what's left of a civilian
building here in Tel Aviv after a ballistic missile, an Iranian missile hit it. This was a barrage of about 20
ballistic missiles, all targeting different civilian neighborhoods in Israel. Thankfully, the Israeli
population is resilient and is listening to the homeront command guidelines. And thankfully, as far as we know now,
they say no casualties, but uh we know that Israel is also not very good at
keeping those numbers, Charmaine. And here's another one. Behind me is the wreckage from a ballistic missile
launched by the Iranian regime. What you can see is a civilian apartment building in Batyam or what's left of it after a
ballistic missile directly hit this building. Numerous people were killed. Hundreds were injured and they are now
soldiers behind me digging through the rubble to try to find the bodies. They are launching rockets at civilian
buildings. So, uh, karma charm, but this is this is
showing increasingly, and I'll just show they're hitting deep. Iran is even into the occupied territories of the West
Bank. Uh, I'll just show that here. Um, this is one impact that was shown uh,
hitting very deep. The air defenses in Israel appear to be depleting very fast. The Iron Dome is not built for this. So,
Charmaine, what have you made over the last day of Iran's retaliation? uh what has been significant for you as we move
in to over a week now of this war? I mean the the US narrative as we
watched from Secretary Hegsath and uh the Sentcom
chief and others yesterday was we are doing severe damage to Iran. Um we've
taken out a majority of their launchers, their rocket launchers and their um
their drone launchers. I just I mean first of all how would they know how would they even know that
number you know Iran's 1.6 six million square kilometers
uh big and uh you know huge chunks of mountainous regions, desert, other uh um
difficult territory. And how would they even know? I'm sorry, Danny, can you put the split screen on? It's it it makes it
easier for me to focus. Yeah. To see you, too. Not like I'm just talking to screen. Thank you.
Um I I just want to point out something though before we get into this is you
know people are saying the Israeli Israelis have broke through their sensors. I don't believe that to be
true. Um one of the women who was explaining what the dam destruction was
behind her was looked to be wearing a military uniform. I think and this is what's kind of
crazy. I think they're letting people show the civilian damage. Yeah.
In expectation that people will think the Iranians are evil evil child
killers. You know, I I don't know what universe their brains inhabit, but I mean, all I
see on social media where these are being posted is karma's a [ __ ] you
know, or haha, you think we're going to cry over this? Um, in terms of the larger picture, I mean,
I have I have naysayers around me, too, who are worried that uh Iran's getting hit because we're seeing of, of course,
also videos of the massive civilian and infrastructural destruction in Thran in particular. And
um, you know, it it seems quite horrible and and uh and pervasive.
And I I saw an exchange, excuse me, on social media where somebody was saying,
"How long can Iran possibly take this? How long can we stomach it?" And actually, one of our writers at the
Cradle wrote back, "Have you heard of the 8-year Iran Iraq war?" And it put
things into context. We're talking, we're seven days in. Iranians dealt with
this for a very, very long time. This is a time when the Iraqis had missiles and
every bit of western provided and Gulf provided equipment you could imagine at
the time you know from 1980 onwards for 8 years and Iran didn't have a single
missile and for them that moment was never again we are going to seek out
missile technology if nobody will sell us aircraft we will build these things ourselves we will build an aerospace
program we will you know a drone program etc. So, uh, I think I I hate to say
this, but I think they can they they have lived the the existing generations
have lived through that 8-year war. And I do remember um that uh everyone in the
cities every single night, Danny had to turn off their lights
so that the, you know, the city would be dark. Absolutely dark. um so that the
Iraqis wouldn't have targets. I mean, it was awful. They lived like that for years. The population of Iran doubled
during that time. Obviously, no lights at night. You know, people would make jokes about that. Are you a Iran Iraq
war baby? You know, but uh they lived through much worse than this. Um, so
here's the thing from my perspective for those who are, you know, worried that
Iran can't last. Um, I that is not the case in my mind. Not certainly what I
saw during the 8-year war. But the other thing is, you know, the other thing I'm hearing a lot is why isn't Iran hitting
Israel? Oh my god, it's just a few missiles. It's just it's not this massive salvo of, you know, a hundred
missiles. It's two, right? Uh, of course, two extremely devastating ones,
you know, each of them having sort of cluster-like munitions of 80, right? Um,
but my view was, well, Israel can't survive without the United States,
right? So, first you destroy the US's eyes and ears. Um, you destroy their
military bases. You destroy how they bring supplies uh in into countries. Um,
if you have to hit ports, if you have to hit airfields, right, where US military planes arrive regularly, if you have to
hit places where US military, even things like hotels where US military troops are spending their nights, um,
Iran is systematically hitting the entire range of US military assets and
even shared assets with Gulf countries, right? Um, they've taken down the biggest drones. I mean somebody today
was cheering that they' taken you know massive sorry not drones massive um um
what's it called radar massive radar in Jordan which has been watching Syria and
Lebanon for just so long you know um so people in Lebanon were cheering that and
um you know the what the US has to do to counter that what the Israelis have to
do to counter that is find launchers in Iran. They're not even looking to take
out missiles and missile production facilities anymore. They're going after the launchers, which makes perfect
sense. But how are they going to find them, Danny? How, you know, and uh you know, just just to read something that
came across um my desk short what a few minutes ago is by Alan Mizrahi, Israeli
journalist. And if I could just read the first few lines. Sure. He says, "We are witnessing
history. Iran is to the surprise of everyone US bases so thoroughly and extensively and so decisively that the
world isn't ready to see it. In 4 days, Iran has managed to expand its scope of
military domination in the region has destroyed the most precious, most expensive military bases, assets and
equipment in the whole world. Uh US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait and Qatar
and Saudi Arabia. These are assets that took trillions to build over the course of several decades. We're talking a
major chunk of military expenditure for over 30 years going up in smoke in just
a few days. And that is that's the picture. Despite what Secretary Hegsth
says, despite what the um head of central command or the president of the
United States says, it's very clear to everyone what's happening. the the
military play aside, there's a whole other thing happening um which is the
economic financial supply line impact of this. I was just
reading something saying nobody's writing about this but Dubai has 10 days
of food supplies left. That's not something uh the Iranian government
wants to happen. But it's kind of like how the Americans have besieged country
after country after country, right? Yemen, poorest country, um and besieged
for years. Cuba now, what what's what's your problem with Cuba? You know,
there's no imminent threat from Cuba starving them out, trying to do that to Venezuela, uh any adversary. and uh and
and so it's not just food, it's water, it's obviously their ability to um to
make money because oil and gas uh prochemicals, fertilizers, this is the
bread and butter of many of these states. Uh and uh we've seen obviously
prices for these commodities skyrocket globally. And then we've heard um we
heard Japan saying just a few days ago that they might have to sell uh over
$600 billion dollar of US ETFs in order to get the cash to spend on what they
need for their populations. But today and yesterday and the day before we have
been hearing from Persian Gulf states um this idea that they might have to pull
their investments you know the investments that Trump has wanted and force them to provide for the United
States just you know the the cash cows that these Gulf countries are they might have to pull trillions of dollars out of
the US economy. Will he let them? You know that's another question. uh if he
doesn't let them, nobody will trust anything in the United States, anything connected to the US dollar anymore.
Right now, the entire ecosystem of US-led
um financial order or disorder is crumbling in front of her eyes. And it
just comes back to the fact that Iran closed the straight of hormones and enforced it very lightly. It hit a few
ships that tried, right? Um, if you like, uh, Iran is now in control of the
world's energy resources. It's tap on, tap off, tap on, tap off, you know, like
a spigot. But that connects to the global global financial markets and the global economy. Again, it's not just oil
and gas going through there. It's it's food. It's it's commodities for living, right? Tap on, tap off. And this in
itself is a reason for many countries to push the US to stop the war.
Um the Americans have another pressure lever which is the destruction of all
their military infrastructure in this region. But not just that, Danny. Sorry I'm talking so much. There's a third
element to this too. How has the US remained a hedgeim? Um because a lot of
it is chest thumping and power projecting through non-stop headlines, threats um you know coercion
uh and and punishment right like sanctions etc. Uh one could argue that
the US sorry Iran has overnight destroyed the US secondary sanction
regime. The United States, the Department of Treasury, Bessent was forced today to give Indians a 30 or
India a 30day extension on buying Russian gas. That's going to have to be
the case for everybody. Russia tried for four years to get this gone. Iran did it
in 6 days, you know, in six days. What's anyone going to do about secondary
sanctions now? They don't care. They have to have fuel to fuel their economies. Um but the most important
thing and here's a fourth element sorry is that literally
um what does this do to US power the sense that only the US can protect you
and I'm not just talking about the Persian Gulf countries but East Asian um
allies like South Korea and uh and Japan. I mean, in one one fell swoop,
not only are are is all of the US military in infrastructure being destroyed in its allied states in the
Persian Gulf with the US unable to stop any of it. Oh, we intercepted some things. Well, guess what? Your house is
still burning, you know, but it's also made the Persian Gulf consider whether
it's worth it even having US bases there ever, ever, ever again. And they've
noted that uh the Americans when they're trying to grab more interceptors and radars from further field to use in this
war are directing it to Israel. Right. Why? I mean, it's it's such it's such a
humiliation for for the Arab countries that have stood up against Gaza, against
the, you know, not even just kept mum about the genocide, everything Israel and the US has done in this region only
to have the US um kick it in its backside.
Yeah. No, I mean this is extensive and and Charmaine, people do belittle uh you
see it all over social media. You see, of course, in the western mainstream media, Iran's especially its retaliation toward Israel because Iran sees Israel,
I think rightfully so, as one big military base, one big forward operating
center. So, uh, and Israel being a colony, uh, does use they they claim
human shields, their entire settler population is basically sitting, um, on the Israeli, uh, military
infrastructure. Yeah. So, so people belittle this kind of response where they basically, you know,
are are firing into Tel Aviv and and causing pretty significant damage, but there's that economic element that you
mentioned, Charmaine, that people uh do not appreciate as much where you have
Israel, their reports saying that Israel's economy is going to be hemorrhaging something like uh $2.9
billion dollar a day because, you know, when you see scenes like this, Charine. Uh that's significant damage and that is
happening uh more than once per day. This is happening now 50 times, 60 times
where you have massive uh uh missile launches coming into Israel. And even if
Israel intercepts a third of those, it's getting less and less every day. Uh this kind of damage causes real problems. And
and this is just Israel. And you mentioned and I can show a graphic uh
that Iran is hitting everywhere. Iran has hit everywhere. This is where Iran
has essentially hit um every single country that has a US military that has
a US military installation. Uh here we go. Okay, it's not letting me. Here we
go. uh every single country that has a US military installation has uh seen those
installations be hit and that has an economic impatar shut off the gas. Qatar is shut off the gas. How how long can
that really last until Qatar is essentially in a massive crisis, not to mention Europe, which relies on Qataria
gas to such a huge degree. Anyway, back to you, Sheremy. I'm not so worried about Israel not
being uh completely obliterated right now. I you know I I've
as I was saying earlier contended that the US US military is what basically
backs Israel. Israel does nothing without the US military uh aiding or supporting um meaning alongside it or
behind it. Uh you have to take out the US military assets. You know is Israeli planes can't get to Iran without being
without fueling refueling in the air. um you you you take out the hardware as
much as you can and then Israel basically becomes a sitting duck and then you do to it what you will. Um, so
I think that comes as you know a
I mean which is the bigger which is a bigger goal which is a bigger get I
don't know we're moving US bases for the region forever. Don't forget many people in this region see Israel as the largest
US forward operating base in the world. Okay. Save the best for last. I don't
know. So Iranians have this thing called tahik Danny. It's like when they cook
rice in a rice cooker, there's a thick crispy rice at the bottom. I don't know if you've ever had that,
but children in Iran fight over this. Okay? And there are people, and we say
you're the tacti first, you know, you're the you're the per you're kind of person who eats your tactique first on your
plate or the one who saves it for last. Um, I've always thought the better people are the ones who save it for
last. it. Israel's a tadik, you know, in this case. I think also consider what's
happening with Israel's uh opening up a warf frontont against Lebanon now
just out of nowhere. And no, it turns out no Hezbollah didn't um uh didn't uh
instigate this attack. I think yesterday uh the IDF chief said uh we were going
to attack do a full-scale attack just a few days later. Uh- which is what
Hezbollah claims. We knew about it and so we decided to preempt it. Uh
I I think what's happening there is insane. If you were being pummeled like
this, do you open another warfront? So they I I don't know. I don't know how
their brains work. You know, I was talking to young people who were saying that makes no sense militarily and they
know nothing about military strategy. Literally opening up a warfront. Of
course, they unders they they believed that Hezbollah was so depleted and so weakened they bought their own spin. All
right. They really did. They actually and there's admissions to this. Keep going. And I'm going to pull up the admission to it as well. Okay? Because what
happens all of a sudden to their absolute amazement, other than Hezbollah
sending um missiles, drones, and rockets over the border
willy-nilly, um you have Hezbollah troops
back south of the Latani River not letting Israel, Israelis move an inch.
And I say this because I don't know if you remember a year and a bit ago before the ceasefire was declared,
you had had the awful pager terrorist attack followed by the walkie-talkie attack the next day.
You had the assassination of Hassan Nasallah, the secretary general of
Hezbollah. And you know, the Israelis and others assumed their entire command structure,
right, would collapse. But in fact on the border with Israel, the Hezbollah uh
special forces and others uh so the Radwan forces were stopping Israelis
from making you know taking even one inch of territory. It was only the ceasefire that enabled Israeli troops to
come in. They couldn't come in except for short ambushes and run back across their borders before that. This is after
all those atrocities wreaked on Lebanon and wreists. So right now again we're seeing um
Hezbollah troops in you know south of the Latani doing the same thing. I this
is extraordinary. At the same time the entire population of the south and the southern suburb of Beirut has been
displaced. I think today um one of the Lebanese ministries said it was 500,000
people. Um and and this was literally overnight. Um I was traveling outside
the country and I got a call from a friend of mine who stayed there before when trouble happens and you know just
said it's 4:00 a.m. we've got to move now. You know do you have a bedroom? And
it was literally all of the south you know for some people it took 16 hours to
drive. The traffic was so you know dense. Um and the Lebanese government,
we're hearing that they're sheltering them. They're providing sheltering. But the kinds of shenanigans that are going
on in Lebanon right now, Danny, it's disgusting. You have you have people, you have the head.
Okay. So, the Lebanese forces is a Christian uh a right-wing Christian
militia. All right. And political tied to the Marin the Marinites. Is that what they're called? The Yeah. But not all Marinites are like
that. But I know Marinites who like his van, you know. So, but no, I do. When I
first ever went to Lebanon in 2009, I was staying with a family that were part
Syrian and part Shia um in the southern suburb who um hated his bullah. And my
the person taking me around Palestinian refugee camps was a a Marinite Christian woman who loved Hassan Nasallah. So, you
know, I understood that Lebanon is not simple and you can never quite wrap your head around it, but um th this guy who's
head of I think basically the largest um pro- US whatever pro- west uh TV channel
in Lebanon uh is saying on national television I have reports that Hezbollah
are hiding weapons in this hospital in Ben Shabel. It's a sort of very
pro-resistent southern Lebanese town. He said that on national television as
though to give the Israelis, you know, the freedom to blow up a hospital. You
know, I I I mean, the the treachery of these people, they should literally be strung up. This is I don't I don't
understand why, you know, when Hassan was alive in 2006,
it happened. He came out after the victory and said to all Lebanese, you're
not allowed. Even people who wanted vengeance for family members getting killed. A lot of Lebanese were killed in
that war and lot were aided. Sorry, in the civil war, right? Um not 2006, in the civil war. A lot of them were uh um
uh killed by Lebanese collaborators who then fled fled over the border to Israel. Um and uh he said you're not
allowed to touch a hair on the head of the bodies of family members of
collaborators. We have a system of justice. You turn them over to the authorities, you know, and that's it.
And it was it was so noble. But you know, some sometimes I think a lot of people feel frustrated by this kind of
well-behaved access, you know. So right now we're seeing a great deal of treachery. Um the
Israelis have not launched the big strikes in the sense that I think they've sort of been
taken aback by uh the resistance troops and their determination. So we'll see.
So anyways, the point is the Lebanese are bemoning wise in Iran hitting um you know Israel harder. I think Israel is
the tactic save for last um or for next rather and it could happen anytime and I
think it will be absolutely brutal. I think Iran gave signs of what they would do from the get-go, which is civilian
targets, civilian infrastructure, everything was on. And that was the most
important thing. It has resisted over three previous major operations against Israel. It has resisted
um and and restrained itself to military targets only and very few. But it's uh
it it's existential now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is indeed
existential and uh you know the situation I think uh the strategy is
quite clear. Uh Iran is not even hiding it. They're saying they're exhausting
all of their very old uh missiles that they didn't even run through during the 12-day war. Some of them dating back
more than 10 years. And they're going to launch all of those. I believe uh they said they are nearly complete with
launching all of those before the next coming days. They're going to launch more advanced weapons that will be
completely uninterable. But uh uh I think the the big uh uh uh
problem that Israel now faces and that the entire region faces is the air defense interceptors are going to go
bye-bye. Iran has already hit two. So you mentioned the radar and I'll pull that up. They hit they hit the THAAD
radar which is an immense development that you at the Cradle U
reported on. They destroyed this advanced THAAD radar in Jordan. Now, I
believe there's only like 11 THAAD uh missile interceptor uh systems in the
entire world for the United States and Iran, I believe, has destroyed two of those already in the region. And Israel,
I believe, has one and they keep getting hit. So there's a big problem here I
think in the coming days Jim where uh none these eyes that are gone now it's
going to be very hard to intercept and we saw during the 12- day war what happened Israel had to say we need this
to stop what what exactly could be different now Charmaine this is the same this is the same situation except worse
because now uh these layers of defenses that Israel and the United States thought they had are going away uh by
Iranian missile there. Yeah. Um
what I you know I I I don't uh I I think this is the reason
for for many years now not just since Israel saw Iran's capabilities in
operation true promise one uh that Israel has wanted to you know really not
cared about the nuclear issue wanted to go after Iran using the popular PR
refrain nuclear weapons but actually missile its missiles program was its priority because there are just no
interceptors that exist in the world for the Qur missile for instance you know or
the or you know Iran's hypersonics and whatever the things we haven't seen yet right um
I I uh yeah I mean I I don't know how the US is posturing so confidently you
know I actually was watching and thinking wow Wow, this is how spin works in the fog of war.
When you speak confidently, that's almost enough to make everyone say, "Okay, we're good. We're good." You
know, it's not good. It's not good. The Israelis, if you if you want to know what's happening, folks, okay, Americans
watching this, go to the Hebrew media. Yes, Israelis know how to panic. That is
for sure. Are they not happy? They are they are not happy and they're bashing at each other and it's pretty
awful. Um, so yeah, that's that's all I have to say about that. I mean, take out radars, take our take out interceptor.
It doesn't even matter, you know. I mean, the radar stuff matters a lot because you want to blind them. You want
to blind your enemy. And uh, it's a very, very important thing you have to
do in the early days of any war. um how much of this was detected through
uh foreign help, you know, um behind Iran. I don't know. I don't even know
that I buy the argument that Iran's getting great uh satellite and whatever
you know visual info intel from the Chinese because actually why do we even
think that Iran couldn't have built this capability itself you know um the Chinese may have allowed them cuz cuz
you know Iran has an aerospace program so it launches satellites into space ostensively to watch everything but I'm
sure like anything Iran does um they're sabot sabotage and blocks, right, on on
what they can do with that. So, um, yeah, I think so far it's it's going
along. I I mean, Danny, where were we last Friday?
Yeah, the world has changed. But what we're looking at today because
we're in West Asia and we're pissed at the cradle, okay, about what's going on.
I mean, we've been pissed since October 7th, 2023. All right. Um, is a tweet we
put out today. I sent it to you that the US stealth pilot. Oh, right. Yes. I'll pull that.
Right. US stealth pilot who took off from Israel's OVDA air base forgot to
turn off his transmitter on his way to Iran and was detected over Saudi Arabia.
This has been reported by Khan correspondent Blumenthal. This is
Israeli media is reporting it. Um and he cites flight radar 24. This is right
after the Iranians thank publicly thanked Saudi Arabia, okay, for pledging not to allow its
territory or airspace to be used in attacks during the war. Now, here's the thing, okay? The um he's citing flight
radar. That means everyone can see it. Okay. Um, that's crazy. That's crazy.
You know, in the in the world of regional diplomacy, you don't want to be caught out in a dishonorable lie. You
know, the the the the sort of um the language of diplomacy in this region is
my brother, my brother. You know, you're you're virtual enemies, but it's you still talk that way, you know, my
brother. the Iranians thank their brothers in Saudi Arabia, you know, just yesterday
and and and and don't forget all these countries, all these Gulf countries prior to any um actual uh kinetic
conflict had said things like we're not going to allow people to use our territory airspace and then we saw US
missiles being um launched from a ground launcher, right? That is in the Gulf.
So, um, there's, you know, this my brother my brother isn't going to work long with with the, you know, for the
Iranians. This is going to have to be nipped in the bud right now. And we might see some Saudi targets, you know,
in the next 24 hours as a result of this. This is, you know, this is completely amoral.
And it shows uh who exactly is in the driver's seat when it comes to these Gulf countries. It is not the so-called
sovereign governments of the monarchies. It's not. It's the United States. And we're seeing that very very very clearly
as this uh war goes on. Charmine. Um yeah, but as this new this kind of thing
comes out, I'm sure the Americans are twisting arms there. Um but at some point these these rulers are going to
say no to the Americans very clearly and they won't survive. Exactly. Yeah. they'll have full support of their
citizenry for saying no to the Americans and not having you know I I I don't can't remember which war it was was it
Iraq one where um there was so much animosity in Saudi Arabia for US troops
and US I think women in uniform American women in unifor whatever trapesing
around Saudi Arabia in the open like that that the Saudis had to eject US bases from Saudi Arabia and then they
crept back in a bit later. So, um it's not like there isn't a precedent, but uh
right now the Saudis cannot make the argument that we need US protection
against Iran because it's the opposite. The US are drawing Iran into Saudi
territory. Yeah. Well, uh, I wanted Charmaine to talk to you about, uh, this contrast
between how the US says it's going and versus, uh, what we're seeing as clear
evidence, uh, that there's a lot of confidence in Iran about not only the retaliation, but about where this war is
going.

building here in Tel Aviv after a ballistic missile, an Iranian missile hit it. This was a barrage of about 20
ballistic missiles, all targeting different civilian neighborhoods in Israel. Thankfully, the Israeli
population is resilient and is listening to the homeront command guidelines. And thankfully, as far as we know now,
they say no casualties, but uh we know that Israel is also not very good at
keeping those numbers, Charmaine. And here's another one. Behind me is the wreckage from a ballistic missile
launched by the Iranian regime. What you can see is a civilian apartment building in Batyam or what's left of it after a
ballistic missile directly hit this building. Numerous people were killed. Hundreds were injured and they are now
soldiers behind me digging through the rubble to try to find the bodies. They are launching rockets at civilian
buildings. So, uh, karma charm, but this is this is
showing increasingly, and I'll just show they're hitting deep. Iran is even into the occupied territories of the West
Bank. Uh, I'll just show that here. Um, this is one impact that was shown uh,
hitting very deep. The air defenses in Israel appear to be depleting very fast. The Iron Dome is not built for this. So,
Charmaine, what have you made over the last day of Iran's retaliation? uh what has been significant for you as we move
in to over a week now of this war? I mean the the US narrative as we
watched from Secretary Hegsath and uh the Sentcom
chief and others yesterday was we are doing severe damage to Iran. Um we've
taken out a majority of their launchers, their rocket launchers and their um
their drone launchers. I just I mean first of all how would they know how would they even know that
number you know Iran's 1.6 six million square kilometers
uh big and uh you know huge chunks of mountainous regions, desert, other uh um
difficult territory. And how would they even know? I'm sorry, Danny, can you put the split screen on? It's it it makes it
easier for me to focus. Yeah. To see you, too. Not like I'm just talking to screen. Thank you.
Um I I just want to point out something though before we get into this is you
know people are saying the Israeli Israelis have broke through their sensors. I don't believe that to be
true. Um one of the women who was explaining what the dam destruction was
behind her was looked to be wearing a military uniform. I think and this is what's kind of
crazy. I think they're letting people show the civilian damage. Yeah.
In expectation that people will think the Iranians are evil evil child
killers. You know, I I don't know what universe their brains inhabit, but I mean, all I
see on social media where these are being posted is karma's a [ __ ] you
know, or haha, you think we're going to cry over this? Um, in terms of the larger picture, I mean,
I have I have naysayers around me, too, who are worried that uh Iran's getting hit because we're seeing of, of course,
also videos of the massive civilian and infrastructural destruction in Thran in particular. And
um, you know, it it seems quite horrible and and uh and pervasive.
And I I saw an exchange, excuse me, on social media where somebody was saying,
"How long can Iran possibly take this? How long can we stomach it?" And actually, one of our writers at the
Cradle wrote back, "Have you heard of the 8-year Iran Iraq war?" And it put
things into context. We're talking, we're seven days in. Iranians dealt with
this for a very, very long time. This is a time when the Iraqis had missiles and
every bit of western provided and Gulf provided equipment you could imagine at
the time you know from 1980 onwards for 8 years and Iran didn't have a single
missile and for them that moment was never again we are going to seek out
missile technology if nobody will sell us aircraft we will build these things ourselves we will build an aerospace
program we will you know a drone program etc. So, uh, I think I I hate to say
this, but I think they can they they have lived the the existing generations
have lived through that 8-year war. And I do remember um that uh everyone in the
cities every single night, Danny had to turn off their lights
so that the, you know, the city would be dark. Absolutely dark. um so that the
Iraqis wouldn't have targets. I mean, it was awful. They lived like that for years. The population of Iran doubled
during that time. Obviously, no lights at night. You know, people would make jokes about that. Are you a Iran Iraq
war baby? You know, but uh they lived through much worse than this. Um, so
here's the thing from my perspective for those who are, you know, worried that
Iran can't last. Um, I that is not the case in my mind. Not certainly what I
saw during the 8-year war. But the other thing is, you know, the other thing I'm hearing a lot is why isn't Iran hitting
Israel? Oh my god, it's just a few missiles. It's just it's not this massive salvo of, you know, a hundred
missiles. It's two, right? Uh, of course, two extremely devastating ones,
you know, each of them having sort of cluster-like munitions of 80, right? Um,
but my view was, well, Israel can't survive without the United States,
right? So, first you destroy the US's eyes and ears. Um, you destroy their
military bases. You destroy how they bring supplies uh in into countries. Um,
if you have to hit ports, if you have to hit airfields, right, where US military planes arrive regularly, if you have to
hit places where US military, even things like hotels where US military troops are spending their nights, um,
Iran is systematically hitting the entire range of US military assets and
even shared assets with Gulf countries, right? Um, they've taken down the biggest drones. I mean somebody today
was cheering that they' taken you know massive sorry not drones massive um um
what's it called radar massive radar in Jordan which has been watching Syria and
Lebanon for just so long you know um so people in Lebanon were cheering that and
um you know the what the US has to do to counter that what the Israelis have to
do to counter that is find launchers in Iran. They're not even looking to take
out missiles and missile production facilities anymore. They're going after the launchers, which makes perfect
sense. But how are they going to find them, Danny? How, you know, and uh you know, just just to read something that
came across um my desk short what a few minutes ago is by Alan Mizrahi, Israeli
journalist. And if I could just read the first few lines. Sure. He says, "We are witnessing
history. Iran is to the surprise of everyone US bases so thoroughly and extensively and so decisively that the
world isn't ready to see it. In 4 days, Iran has managed to expand its scope of
military domination in the region has destroyed the most precious, most expensive military bases, assets and
equipment in the whole world. Uh US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait and Qatar
and Saudi Arabia. These are assets that took trillions to build over the course of several decades. We're talking a
major chunk of military expenditure for over 30 years going up in smoke in just
a few days. And that is that's the picture. Despite what Secretary Hegsth
says, despite what the um head of central command or the president of the
United States says, it's very clear to everyone what's happening. the the
military play aside, there's a whole other thing happening um which is the
economic financial supply line impact of this. I was just
reading something saying nobody's writing about this but Dubai has 10 days
of food supplies left. That's not something uh the Iranian government
wants to happen. But it's kind of like how the Americans have besieged country
after country after country, right? Yemen, poorest country, um and besieged
for years. Cuba now, what what's what's your problem with Cuba? You know,
there's no imminent threat from Cuba starving them out, trying to do that to Venezuela, uh any adversary. and uh and
and so it's not just food, it's water, it's obviously their ability to um to
make money because oil and gas uh prochemicals, fertilizers, this is the
bread and butter of many of these states. Uh and uh we've seen obviously
prices for these commodities skyrocket globally. And then we've heard um we
heard Japan saying just a few days ago that they might have to sell uh over
$600 billion dollar of US ETFs in order to get the cash to spend on what they
need for their populations. But today and yesterday and the day before we have
been hearing from Persian Gulf states um this idea that they might have to pull
their investments you know the investments that Trump has wanted and force them to provide for the United
States just you know the the cash cows that these Gulf countries are they might have to pull trillions of dollars out of
the US economy. Will he let them? You know that's another question. uh if he
doesn't let them, nobody will trust anything in the United States, anything connected to the US dollar anymore.
Right now, the entire ecosystem of US-led
um financial order or disorder is crumbling in front of her eyes. And it
just comes back to the fact that Iran closed the straight of hormones and enforced it very lightly. It hit a few
ships that tried, right? Um, if you like, uh, Iran is now in control of the
world's energy resources. It's tap on, tap off, tap on, tap off, you know, like
a spigot. But that connects to the global global financial markets and the global economy. Again, it's not just oil
and gas going through there. It's it's food. It's it's commodities for living, right? Tap on, tap off. And this in
itself is a reason for many countries to push the US to stop the war.
Um the Americans have another pressure lever which is the destruction of all
their military infrastructure in this region. But not just that, Danny. Sorry I'm talking so much. There's a third
element to this too. How has the US remained a hedgeim? Um because a lot of
it is chest thumping and power projecting through non-stop headlines, threats um you know coercion
uh and and punishment right like sanctions etc. Uh one could argue that
the US sorry Iran has overnight destroyed the US secondary sanction
regime. The United States, the Department of Treasury, Bessent was forced today to give Indians a 30 or
India a 30day extension on buying Russian gas. That's going to have to be
the case for everybody. Russia tried for four years to get this gone. Iran did it
in 6 days, you know, in six days. What's anyone going to do about secondary
sanctions now? They don't care. They have to have fuel to fuel their economies. Um but the most important
thing and here's a fourth element sorry is that literally
um what does this do to US power the sense that only the US can protect you
and I'm not just talking about the Persian Gulf countries but East Asian um
allies like South Korea and uh and Japan. I mean, in one one fell swoop,
not only are are is all of the US military in infrastructure being destroyed in its allied states in the
Persian Gulf with the US unable to stop any of it. Oh, we intercepted some things. Well, guess what? Your house is
still burning, you know, but it's also made the Persian Gulf consider whether
it's worth it even having US bases there ever, ever, ever again. And they've
noted that uh the Americans when they're trying to grab more interceptors and radars from further field to use in this
war are directing it to Israel. Right. Why? I mean, it's it's such it's such a
humiliation for for the Arab countries that have stood up against Gaza, against
the, you know, not even just kept mum about the genocide, everything Israel and the US has done in this region only
to have the US um kick it in its backside.
Yeah. No, I mean this is extensive and and Charmaine, people do belittle uh you
see it all over social media. You see, of course, in the western mainstream media, Iran's especially its retaliation toward Israel because Iran sees Israel,
I think rightfully so, as one big military base, one big forward operating
center. So, uh, and Israel being a colony, uh, does use they they claim
human shields, their entire settler population is basically sitting, um, on the Israeli, uh, military
infrastructure. Yeah. So, so people belittle this kind of response where they basically, you know,
are are firing into Tel Aviv and and causing pretty significant damage, but there's that economic element that you
mentioned, Charmaine, that people uh do not appreciate as much where you have
Israel, their reports saying that Israel's economy is going to be hemorrhaging something like uh $2.9
billion dollar a day because, you know, when you see scenes like this, Charine. Uh that's significant damage and that is
happening uh more than once per day. This is happening now 50 times, 60 times
where you have massive uh uh missile launches coming into Israel. And even if
Israel intercepts a third of those, it's getting less and less every day. Uh this kind of damage causes real problems. And
and this is just Israel. And you mentioned and I can show a graphic uh
that Iran is hitting everywhere. Iran has hit everywhere. This is where Iran
has essentially hit um every single country that has a US military that has
a US military installation. Uh here we go. Okay, it's not letting me. Here we
go. uh every single country that has a US military installation has uh seen those
installations be hit and that has an economic impatar shut off the gas. Qatar is shut off the gas. How how long can
that really last until Qatar is essentially in a massive crisis, not to mention Europe, which relies on Qataria
gas to such a huge degree. Anyway, back to you, Sheremy. I'm not so worried about Israel not
being uh completely obliterated right now. I you know I I've
as I was saying earlier contended that the US US military is what basically
backs Israel. Israel does nothing without the US military uh aiding or supporting um meaning alongside it or
behind it. Uh you have to take out the US military assets. You know is Israeli planes can't get to Iran without being
without fueling refueling in the air. um you you you take out the hardware as
much as you can and then Israel basically becomes a sitting duck and then you do to it what you will. Um, so
I think that comes as you know a
I mean which is the bigger which is a bigger goal which is a bigger get I
don't know we're moving US bases for the region forever. Don't forget many people in this region see Israel as the largest
US forward operating base in the world. Okay. Save the best for last. I don't
know. So Iranians have this thing called tahik Danny. It's like when they cook
rice in a rice cooker, there's a thick crispy rice at the bottom. I don't know if you've ever had that,
but children in Iran fight over this. Okay? And there are people, and we say
you're the tacti first, you know, you're the you're the per you're kind of person who eats your tactique first on your
plate or the one who saves it for last. Um, I've always thought the better people are the ones who save it for
last. it. Israel's a tadik, you know, in this case. I think also consider what's
happening with Israel's uh opening up a warf frontont against Lebanon now
just out of nowhere. And no, it turns out no Hezbollah didn't um uh didn't uh
instigate this attack. I think yesterday uh the IDF chief said uh we were going
to attack do a full-scale attack just a few days later. Uh- which is what
Hezbollah claims. We knew about it and so we decided to preempt it. Uh
I I think what's happening there is insane. If you were being pummeled like
this, do you open another warfront? So they I I don't know. I don't know how
their brains work. You know, I was talking to young people who were saying that makes no sense militarily and they
know nothing about military strategy. Literally opening up a warfront. Of
course, they unders they they believed that Hezbollah was so depleted and so weakened they bought their own spin. All
right. They really did. They actually and there's admissions to this. Keep going. And I'm going to pull up the admission to it as well. Okay? Because what
happens all of a sudden to their absolute amazement, other than Hezbollah
sending um missiles, drones, and rockets over the border
willy-nilly, um you have Hezbollah troops
back south of the Latani River not letting Israel, Israelis move an inch.
And I say this because I don't know if you remember a year and a bit ago before the ceasefire was declared,
you had had the awful pager terrorist attack followed by the walkie-talkie attack the next day.
You had the assassination of Hassan Nasallah, the secretary general of
Hezbollah. And you know, the Israelis and others assumed their entire command structure,
right, would collapse. But in fact on the border with Israel, the Hezbollah uh
special forces and others uh so the Radwan forces were stopping Israelis
from making you know taking even one inch of territory. It was only the ceasefire that enabled Israeli troops to
come in. They couldn't come in except for short ambushes and run back across their borders before that. This is after
all those atrocities wreaked on Lebanon and wreists. So right now again we're seeing um
Hezbollah troops in you know south of the Latani doing the same thing. I this
is extraordinary. At the same time the entire population of the south and the southern suburb of Beirut has been
displaced. I think today um one of the Lebanese ministries said it was 500,000
people. Um and and this was literally overnight. Um I was traveling outside
the country and I got a call from a friend of mine who stayed there before when trouble happens and you know just
said it's 4:00 a.m. we've got to move now. You know do you have a bedroom? And
it was literally all of the south you know for some people it took 16 hours to
drive. The traffic was so you know dense. Um and the Lebanese government,
we're hearing that they're sheltering them. They're providing sheltering. But the kinds of shenanigans that are going
on in Lebanon right now, Danny, it's disgusting. You have you have people, you have the head.
Okay. So, the Lebanese forces is a Christian uh a right-wing Christian
militia. All right. And political tied to the Marin the Marinites. Is that what they're called? The Yeah. But not all Marinites are like
that. But I know Marinites who like his van, you know. So, but no, I do. When I
first ever went to Lebanon in 2009, I was staying with a family that were part
Syrian and part Shia um in the southern suburb who um hated his bullah. And my
the person taking me around Palestinian refugee camps was a a Marinite Christian woman who loved Hassan Nasallah. So, you
know, I understood that Lebanon is not simple and you can never quite wrap your head around it, but um th this guy who's
head of I think basically the largest um pro- US whatever pro- west uh TV channel
in Lebanon uh is saying on national television I have reports that Hezbollah
are hiding weapons in this hospital in Ben Shabel. It's a sort of very
pro-resistent southern Lebanese town. He said that on national television as
though to give the Israelis, you know, the freedom to blow up a hospital. You
know, I I I mean, the the treachery of these people, they should literally be strung up. This is I don't I don't
understand why, you know, when Hassan was alive in 2006,
it happened. He came out after the victory and said to all Lebanese, you're
not allowed. Even people who wanted vengeance for family members getting killed. A lot of Lebanese were killed in
that war and lot were aided. Sorry, in the civil war, right? Um not 2006, in the civil war. A lot of them were uh um
uh killed by Lebanese collaborators who then fled fled over the border to Israel. Um and uh he said you're not
allowed to touch a hair on the head of the bodies of family members of
collaborators. We have a system of justice. You turn them over to the authorities, you know, and that's it.
And it was it was so noble. But you know, some sometimes I think a lot of people feel frustrated by this kind of
well-behaved access, you know. So right now we're seeing a great deal of treachery. Um the
Israelis have not launched the big strikes in the sense that I think they've sort of been
taken aback by uh the resistance troops and their determination. So we'll see.
So anyways, the point is the Lebanese are bemoning wise in Iran hitting um you know Israel harder. I think Israel is
the tactic save for last um or for next rather and it could happen anytime and I
think it will be absolutely brutal. I think Iran gave signs of what they would do from the get-go, which is civilian
targets, civilian infrastructure, everything was on. And that was the most
important thing. It has resisted over three previous major operations against Israel. It has resisted
um and and restrained itself to military targets only and very few. But it's uh
it it's existential now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is indeed
existential and uh you know the situation I think uh the strategy is
quite clear. Uh Iran is not even hiding it. They're saying they're exhausting
all of their very old uh missiles that they didn't even run through during the 12-day war. Some of them dating back
more than 10 years. And they're going to launch all of those. I believe uh they said they are nearly complete with
launching all of those before the next coming days. They're going to launch more advanced weapons that will be
completely uninterable. But uh uh I think the the big uh uh uh
problem that Israel now faces and that the entire region faces is the air defense interceptors are going to go
bye-bye. Iran has already hit two. So you mentioned the radar and I'll pull that up. They hit they hit the THAAD
radar which is an immense development that you at the Cradle U
reported on. They destroyed this advanced THAAD radar in Jordan. Now, I
believe there's only like 11 THAAD uh missile interceptor uh systems in the
entire world for the United States and Iran, I believe, has destroyed two of those already in the region. And Israel,
I believe, has one and they keep getting hit. So there's a big problem here I
think in the coming days Jim where uh none these eyes that are gone now it's
going to be very hard to intercept and we saw during the 12- day war what happened Israel had to say we need this
to stop what what exactly could be different now Charmaine this is the same this is the same situation except worse
because now uh these layers of defenses that Israel and the United States thought they had are going away uh by
Iranian missile there. Yeah. Um
what I you know I I I don't uh I I think this is the reason
for for many years now not just since Israel saw Iran's capabilities in
operation true promise one uh that Israel has wanted to you know really not
cared about the nuclear issue wanted to go after Iran using the popular PR
refrain nuclear weapons but actually missile its missiles program was its priority because there are just no
interceptors that exist in the world for the Qur missile for instance you know or
the or you know Iran's hypersonics and whatever the things we haven't seen yet right um
I I uh yeah I mean I I don't know how the US is posturing so confidently you
know I actually was watching and thinking wow Wow, this is how spin works in the fog of war.
When you speak confidently, that's almost enough to make everyone say, "Okay, we're good. We're good." You
know, it's not good. It's not good. The Israelis, if you if you want to know what's happening, folks, okay, Americans
watching this, go to the Hebrew media. Yes, Israelis know how to panic. That is
for sure. Are they not happy? They are they are not happy and they're bashing at each other and it's pretty
awful. Um, so yeah, that's that's all I have to say about that. I mean, take out radars, take our take out interceptor.
It doesn't even matter, you know. I mean, the radar stuff matters a lot because you want to blind them. You want
to blind your enemy. And uh, it's a very, very important thing you have to
do in the early days of any war. um how much of this was detected through
uh foreign help, you know, um behind Iran. I don't know. I don't even know
that I buy the argument that Iran's getting great uh satellite and whatever
you know visual info intel from the Chinese because actually why do we even
think that Iran couldn't have built this capability itself you know um the Chinese may have allowed them cuz cuz
you know Iran has an aerospace program so it launches satellites into space ostensively to watch everything but I'm
sure like anything Iran does um they're sabot sabotage and blocks, right, on on
what they can do with that. So, um, yeah, I think so far it's it's going
along. I I mean, Danny, where were we last Friday?
Yeah, the world has changed. But what we're looking at today because
we're in West Asia and we're pissed at the cradle, okay, about what's going on.
I mean, we've been pissed since October 7th, 2023. All right. Um, is a tweet we
put out today. I sent it to you that the US stealth pilot. Oh, right. Yes. I'll pull that.
Right. US stealth pilot who took off from Israel's OVDA air base forgot to
turn off his transmitter on his way to Iran and was detected over Saudi Arabia.
This has been reported by Khan correspondent Blumenthal. This is
Israeli media is reporting it. Um and he cites flight radar 24. This is right
after the Iranians thank publicly thanked Saudi Arabia, okay, for pledging not to allow its
territory or airspace to be used in attacks during the war. Now, here's the thing, okay? The um he's citing flight
radar. That means everyone can see it. Okay. Um, that's crazy. That's crazy.
You know, in the in the world of regional diplomacy, you don't want to be caught out in a dishonorable lie. You
know, the the the the sort of um the language of diplomacy in this region is
my brother, my brother. You know, you're you're virtual enemies, but it's you still talk that way, you know, my
brother. the Iranians thank their brothers in Saudi Arabia, you know, just yesterday
and and and and don't forget all these countries, all these Gulf countries prior to any um actual uh kinetic
conflict had said things like we're not going to allow people to use our territory airspace and then we saw US
missiles being um launched from a ground launcher, right? That is in the Gulf.
So, um, there's, you know, this my brother my brother isn't going to work long with with the, you know, for the
Iranians. This is going to have to be nipped in the bud right now. And we might see some Saudi targets, you know,
in the next 24 hours as a result of this. This is, you know, this is completely amoral.
And it shows uh who exactly is in the driver's seat when it comes to these Gulf countries. It is not the so-called
sovereign governments of the monarchies. It's not. It's the United States. And we're seeing that very very very clearly
as this uh war goes on. Charmine. Um yeah, but as this new this kind of thing
comes out, I'm sure the Americans are twisting arms there. Um but at some point these these rulers are going to
say no to the Americans very clearly and they won't survive. Exactly. Yeah. they'll have full support of their
citizenry for saying no to the Americans and not having you know I I I don't can't remember which war it was was it
Iraq one where um there was so much animosity in Saudi Arabia for US troops
and US I think women in uniform American women in unifor whatever trapesing
around Saudi Arabia in the open like that that the Saudis had to eject US bases from Saudi Arabia and then they
crept back in a bit later. So, um it's not like there isn't a precedent, but uh
right now the Saudis cannot make the argument that we need US protection
against Iran because it's the opposite. The US are drawing Iran into Saudi
territory. Yeah. Well, uh, I wanted Charmaine to talk to you about, uh, this contrast
between how the US says it's going and versus, uh, what we're seeing as clear
evidence, uh, that there's a lot of confidence in Iran about not only the retaliation, but about where this war is
going.

Re: Part 2 Anti-Anti-Nazi Barbarian Hordes are Knocking Down
by admin » Fri Mar 06, 2026 11:28 pm
Part 2 of 2
Now, this isn't to belittle, of course, the fact that there are civilian casualties. The US and Israel are doing
what they do, which is targeting schools, hospitals, uh targeting civilian infrastructure because they
hope both the US and Israel that Iran will break. Now CNN um uh Charmaine is in Iran right
now and they were allowed to come in and film and they had a different uh uh they
had a different interpretation of what's happening in Iran right now that I think is should be noted. A quick break for a coffee along the
way. We've been driving for several hours. There's a couple of things that we've noticed. Number one is that first of all, all the shops are open. All the
shops are really well stocked even with with fresh things like for instance fruits and vegetables. Um coffee
obviously also available as well. And then also the gas stations. There's no long lines as gas stations. Fuel seems
readily available and you just don't see any sort of degree of panic anywhere.
So I think that will come to shock US and Israeli war makers. Um and I think
this one uh to end uh this um amalgamation. Uh Charmaine, we also had
of course there's been rumors about a Kurdish USbacked incursion invasion into
Iran, ground offensive ground troops. How the US has even talked back and forth about maybe sending US ground
troops to Iran. Well, Abasagachi, the uh foreign minister of Iran, was asked on NBC about this, and here was his
response. Invasion in your country. Hold on. Sorry about that. Let me rewind it.
Are are you afraid of a US invasion in your country? No, we are waiting for them.
You you were waiting for the US military to invade the ground troops. Yes, because we are confident that we
can confront them and that would be a big disaster for them.
So, you're saying that that Iran is ready and willing to take on the US military if there were to be ground
troops? Well, we were ready for this war uh even more than the previous war.
So, there you have it. Uh Charmaine, uh if confidence was a bluff, then Iran is do
you know conducting the biggest bluff in the history of all wars. But it appears that there is some contrast between how
the US is framing this and how Iran is framing this or how Iran is reacting.
Do you know that thing? And like I mean you've seen pop culture, people have aura, right? It's a big word that Jenzie
uses, aura. Um, I feel like no matter how much
high-tech stuff you're putting out there, propaganda you're putting out there with, you know, your greatest
Marvel characters and whatever, you know, um, the shine has has
is gone from these things. And, uh, you know, so many people contrast this. It
was just, you know, big propaganda video and then that little side smile, you know, and the
shock, the shock of um the host is the best part. I mean, that has to be a meme that lasts a very,
very long time. Every time the US talks about going to war anywhere else, that one has to come out again because they
just simply don't understand. It's like Miz Rahi, the the uh Israeli journalist
uh that that I quoted um says, you know, he says uh we are witnessing history.
Iran is to the surprise of everyone effing up US bases so thoroughly and extensively and so decisively that the
world isn't ready to see it. That host is not ready to see it. Okay, Donald
Trump is insisting, you know, we've had accounts now from behind the scenes in
the leadup to the war that every time Trump was with his generals and they were saying something he didn't want to
hear, he was losing his mind and saying, "No, you know, give me a different answer." And and this is what you get.
And what you have is this at the end of this is going to be this clunky rusty old American, you know, PR machine that
has has missed, you know, they come across boomerlike for Gen Z now. They're
just, oh, we can see through the cracks. What who are you trying to kid? Right. And then the Iranians very subtle and to
the point, you know, no razzledazzle. I I mean in the propaganda war um well
first of all honestly Danny one of the things that's most shocking about this and the US has never never not done this
it's always set the stage for a war it's always made sure public opinion has been
bought and paid for okay and fully propagandized and they have majority of the population supporting a war before
they go in in this case it was absolutely not the case a majority was against this war and every day they
vacasillated on message and you know you're there you're watching it so I
don't uh I don't see I don't know sorry I know there's a second and third part
to your question but it's gone out of my head because I can't get the host out of my head you know what do you mean what
do you mean yeah I mean it's US troops are coming godamn it you know yeah I mean and that's the that's the uh
op that's like the the final boss so to speak the end game of any war that the
US wages right it's throwing everything you have short of boots on the ground boots on the ground
and then saying which is a big crisis you know in whatever you think of him in
the audience I don't know you know whatever people may their views of Iran or him when he says it's going to be a
disaster that's not a view that only Iran shares that's a view that a lot of the US establishment shares that's a lot
that's a view that a lot of Americans share given how unpopular this war is and this isn't to say. Of course, here
you have the whole scentcom page, right? If you go to ScentCom, you'll see uh all you will see is them hitting targets,
right? So, you know, we can't verify the validity of these. We know that there's been a lot of decoys being hit um as
well. But this is to acknowledge that yes, uh the US is bombing Iran and the US is hitting quote unquote targets. But
Charmaine, when we see the confus, when we see CNN in Iran, Yeah. saying that
there isn't panic, then that shows a level of preparation, a reaction that must be driving both the
US and Israel very very very mad because that's that's bad. Not to mention what
Iran can do militarily, which is happening, too. I mean, I just want to
say I've always thought that if anything like what happens in West Asia happened
in Western Europe or the United States, people would fall apart on day one because we have we have centuries
of invasion and um ousting the invaders, right? We
ousted the crusaders and we ousted everybody and then they came back in a
different formation and the region has been weak and weakened you know since colonial days. Um but it's always risen
again right Asia was where the global economy was I mean you know global
economy global commerce global trade was born then through some aberration of
history it went west for a couple of hundred years and guess what the natural organic waste swinging back to where all
the resources are in the world so there's a sort of in the DNA of a lot of
people in this region is just you know we we have to bear it and better times
will come. And then there is the faith element in Iran, you know, especially the the the fact that, you know, 90
something percentage percent of Iranians are Shia Muslims who have, you know, a
strong element of um rejecting injustice core to their their Shia value system.
Okay? rejecting injustice, sacrificing to um to overthrow those who
you know the evil ones, the evildoers, right? So sacrifice, martyrdom, look at
how the supreme leader of Iran spoke in in the days, right? U I think some of
the speeches that went around Western median were translated, you know, I I get my honor and my dignity from you the
people or um why would I scurry away to some hiding place when my people can't
save themselves, right? I mean, it's it's a whole different way of thinking and it's civilizational.
And when people talk about a country like Iran, 2500 plus years old, compared
to the US, 250 um years old, going, you know, whoop
whoop whoop, right? And boots on the ground and like, you know, yippy cay.
It's just I don't know. It's immature, right? It's just immature. It's it's
like we've been dazzled with the pyroactics of technology and you know
and the dazzle of it and the and the propagandizing of it for so long um that
we bought into we bought into this thing you know we bought into US hijgemony in
a big way but it's unraveling so fast now it's quite astounding and I will say you know like most people who were
anti-imperialists in the world nothing against America your government, you know, and I think
it's increasingly we see that Americans have no way to change their government unless they rise up and die for it.
Okay. Um but we also have no way of stopping American wars unless Americans
die. All right. Either way, you're going to have to die for this uh calamity that
has been wrought upon the world to stop. Yeah. Uh that's a that's a really
important point. That's a really important point especially to get across to uh those uh living in the United
States who uh don't uh support this which is the vast majority and you know
I think uh you know we we have Charmaine of course we can cover this over and
over and over again right uh this is Sentcom again I want to reiterate this is Sentcom saying that Iran has hit all
these targets and a lot of them have been destroyed these bases are not operating um to any degree. Uh and we
also have of course which I think is a really important point uh here is an important oil facility in Bahrain. Uh uh
there you have there you have citizens of Bahrain videotaping in cheering. This
is a scene that you see all the time. Uh missiles going overhead of Jordans uh
citizens there cheering. here you have people uh videotaping as if it's something very nice to see uh something
to share around and show uh people and so it's this kind of atmosphere that I
think is causing a lot of concern for the United States and I just want to pull up how Donald Trump has been taking
it in particular because he wrote this he is doubling down you said you're
surprised at how the US is sounding so confident well Donald Trump's uh very
unhinged kind of social media post here calling for un unconditional surrender.
That's the only time there will be a deal. Uh that there's going to be a great future for Iran. We're going to
make it great again. Uh that's what we're doing. Uh there's a lot of coping,
I think, happening here. In the Time magazine uh uh article where he was
interviewed, he was asked whether Americans should worry about retaliation. He says, "I guess, but I
think they're worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it, but yeah, we expect some things. Like I said, people will die.
When you go to war, people will die." But the message, Charmaine, is very mixed because uh you have Republicans,
his own party, contradicting him all the time. He's calling it a war. And you have Mike Johnson here. He doesn't want
to call it a war. We just had an important series of votes on the House floor. As you know, the War Powers Resolution failed. That is the
right result. Uh we are not at war. We have no intention of being at war. The president and the department of defense
have made this very clear. The department of war has made it very clear. This is a a limited operation.
It's a operation that's limited in its scope and duration. So it's a limited operation. But there
then you had Trump, you know, in an unhinged manner talking about how people die in war. Americans he's talking about. So this is a very I think there's
a big crisis emerging that a lot of people aren't talking about. You had a I
believe it was a former Marine uh I don't know if he was a Congress person. Uh he had his arm broken. Uh I
Yeah, I saw that video and he was in full uniform and it and he and he wasn't yelling or hysterical. I think a
congress doing this to a UN Marine, you know, and it I'll find it. But yeah, you continue.
Yeah. Um you know, war is um unpredictable.
Uh there are highs and lows in the sense of depending on what side you're on,
right? Um there are battles within wars. Uh and some you lose, some you win. In
this sense, I cannot see an American win at all. I mean, at all. And why is that?
Well, they've they've lost everything they have in this region militarily,
right, so far. Okay. They Iran has shown that the US controls nothing in the
Persian Gulf. That it is Iran that controls whether there is um um movement
of vessels, shipping, whether there's economy that happens in the Persian Gulf
or not. It is by the way the biggest latoral state of the Persian Gulf,
meaning it has the longest contiguous border on the Persian Gulf of any of the
countries of that area. Uh what we're seeing is Israel being
hammered. This was never supposed to be a visual that we'd see and and now
Israel is being hammered in all its vulnerabilities and that will increase.
I don't see any win scenario for the US. Um unless every speck of Iran is
destroyed and how is that a win for the US? But worse so as this war is waged uh
by the Americans, Americans themselves are turning on
their government, not just their government, all aspects of their government, Democrat or Republican,
right? It comes at a time where the discourse in America is about the
Epstein elite, right? It's everywhere. Nobody I mean, it's just not stopped.
This is Trump's biggest nightmare. This is the you know western elitees biggest
nightmare or global elite for that matter. Um they are all somehow whether
they participated in the rape or eating of babies or the you know I who knows
what. Um it's kind of like what happened with Harvey Weinstein, right? Um you may
not have been raped by him or you may not have known someone who'd been raped by him, but you knew it was going on.
You know what I mean? So they're all complicit and so the rot is at the top
and um how can a country wage a war like this when it's rotting from within? It
has the biggest um budget deficit in global history which is galloping along,
right? It has it it's split down the middle in sides and the sides aren't
just Republican and Democrat. They're pro-Israel and anti-Israel. There's so
many things now. They're the color for your skin. They're, you know, um whether
you're real American or not, it's it's kind of, you know, empire has has rotted
already. And we, you know, this war may be the nail, you know, that nail in its
coffin. So, for anyone who thinks I'm being too jubilant, um,
well, we're journalists, okay? So what happens is when you do this 24/7 anyways
and you can't stop reading about the news even in peace time and then a war comes on the adrenaline is so crazy
literally you can't sleep and you got to laugh at things okay so please excuse me for not being
you know so serious all the time I mean the Iranian people if we take
your leadership they are putting on if we just think it's a fake case, which I don't think it is. I don't think we've
we don't see Iran resorting to bluffs or lies or there when Arach is on
television, he is speaking a very particular kind of message. You want to believe it or not,
it's that's up to you. But I think the results are showing exactly um where the
panic, where the frustration, where the inconsistency lies. I think that's a big one where you
have literally the same administration, the same political party uh saying
different things all of the time and then publishing videos where uh they're
claim in very very very very low resolution claiming they are hitting all kinds of targets when we've already seen
over and over again how good Iran is. If you want to acknowledge something Iran is doing, they have decoys everywhere
and they have made a humiliation. I want to play this video though of the Marine who was just absolutely um attacked by a
senator, a US senator. This was Ryan McGinness who was literally just
protesting uh uh the war. And here is how he was treated. And I this doesn't
look like an administration and a government that's confident about its position. Here we go.
No one wants to fight for Israel. His hand. His hand. Oh,
his hand.
Sir, let go of your hand. Let go of the door.
The senator broke his hand. A sitting US senator just broke the hand
of a marine. Sirenate
stuck in the door. Sir, a US senator just broke the hand of a Marine.
A US. So there you have it. Uh Charming, I mean your reactions. I mean
this is this is the state of things around this world. There is not a consensus in the US political
establishment about this. There's many trying to double down. There's of course Democrats being very feckless about it
and allowing uh for this to go on with very little protests. But at the same time uh we see that there are many holes
to this that are only going to get wider as the crisis mount. You know I just something that might be
shocking to people who know me and my politics for many years. Um I have a
real um soft spot for veterans. Um uh even American ones. I mean actually
of all wars. These are usually young men and women who have either been brought up in a military culture or you know go
sign up with their armies for various reasons if not drafted and then become
pawns you know become absolute pawns and whose lives are absolutely ruined. I
have to say the amount of American and Israeli soldiers who kill themselves.
You do not see that in Iran. You did not see that with the Syrian army under
Bashar Assad. You didn't you didn't you do not see that with Hezbollah. You do not see that with the Russian army. You
do not see that with the PLA. And the reason is they don't fight useless wars. They fight true wars. you know, wars in
the old wars. The kings always rode into battle leading his troops, right? The
king wasn't protected from the wars. He would ride into battle and war would
therefore only happen when it was a necessity to protect, you know. Well, of
course, there were those uh who who who tried to um what's it called? You know,
the expansionist wars and the the wars of conquest. That's another thing. In this case, in this region, a lot of the
wars are defensive wars. And nobody's going to feel bad about what happens during war. But what these young
Americans have to experience. They go into a foreign land. The climate is different. Everything's different. You
know, um they complain they're not getting the right shielding and this and that, right, from their multi-trillion
dollar budgets, right, that they have. and and their pawns. You know, all the
American presidents who've sanctioned war, they're not on the front line. They never go unless super protected. In my
experience, I was not only married to um a war veteran, but um I did projects on
veterans in college. Uh I have a great deal of sympathy for them. And when I was living in Washington DC for a good
many years, I always found the US military guys um
very much more sage than I found the civilian uh the civilian sector. Okay?
Because the the US military would always game scenarios. They would always put themselves I mean when I did the model
United Nations in college, West Point, right? West Point College that year was
um was was Libya. Do you know what I mean? They actually thrust themselves
into the adversar's mind. They learn things. They they they they uh they
learn they be they become more humble because they learn from the inside. Okay.
They're supposed to question strategy. I don't know if that exists in the US military anymore. I feel for these
characters, you know, and and I think more and more veterans are just we don't
hear loudly enough from veterans, but veterans are usually the most anti-war
people I've met in the United States. Um, so I think seeing this man in full
uniform and not screaming and shouting, okay, um, but his hand broke that is is
a real tragedy, I think. Yeah, I don't I really don't know how much more to say about that. I I found it disgusting. I
find the American government disgusting. I find American leaders disgusting and vile and American billionaires
disgusting and vile. And when they when Americans go, "Oh, why did Jack Ma
disappear? The Chinese government took him and like beat some cents into him."
You know, like how dare they? That's not free and democratic. You guys complain about your billionaires all day long. So
when China reminds their billionaires, hang on, you're not bigger than the state. You're not bigger than the
greater good and the the the the communal good, right? Um uh they've done
something wrong. I think uh I I don't know. I don't think there are any answers to America right now. I've always contended I mean it's been for
almost 20 years now. contended that America needs to crash and burn and be rebuilt because there are no band-aid
solutions for this one. Yeah. Well, uh uh you know, I think the
question is what role will people in the United States play in whether in and you
know where what that crash and burn looks like? We know that the economic system always crashes and we know that
this war Charmaine we're already we covered it all here today or at least we covered a lot of it. We know where the
holes are. We know where the crises are mounting. We know from economic to the military side to the political side,
there's going to be mounting crisis the longer this goes on. And uh the question
will be how do people in the United States react to this? Uh and how do they, you know, um do exactly that? You
know, do they crash and burn and build something new? Hell, I am not a you know, I I'm not rah rah US history, you
know, initial founding, all of that. But hell, even uh the founding fathers,
Thomas Jefferson said, you know, uh if you gotta, you know, if the government ain't working for you, then you got to
get get a new government, you know, and that's that that's kind of what's happening
right now. Uh the government is not working for people in the United States. Of course, it is beholden to all of the
forces that you just mentioned, including the billionaires and the rest. Look, just as we're
experiencing something new, a a global south country um that is wiping out US
military bases and assets in this region. We're like, "Oh, what? What?" You know, we we we haven't seen that
before. There's a lot of new things that we're going to have to see, right? We've been taught to unsee. Let's be frank
about that. You know, there's nothing conspiratorial here. The fact is that you know the US government and a lot of
western governments as economies have like especially as economies have declined have sought to control
um and sway the the the views of their populations. They talk openly about it.
It's not like you know DARPA the the um technology arm of the US uh department
of defense uh has has developed tools in which you have US servicemen that can be
10 different personalities online and these tools are deployed to sway perceptions on social media right I mean
this is open source information so I would say what the Americans were
telling us at the beginning of the Arab Spring they were blaring ing from their headlines um that the fear barrier has
been broken. Oh, look, in Egypt, the fear barrier has been broken. In Syria, the fear barrier has been broken. In
Libya, the fear I mean, it just went on and on and on. And the fact is those words are compelling. It makes you think
about what you're doing in that moment. And you're like, you're right. I have no fear now. Right? And a new narrative is
set. You need to jump over your fear barrier. What's What are you going to
do? I mean, what what are they going to do? Shoot Americans? Yeah, they will. They will. Okay. And then they'll have to stop
because American uh the American population is the most well-armed
population in the world. Okay. What did you buy those things for? Surely not to
kill every moose in America. Okay. There's a reason you're armed
potentially. Um I I don't uh I don't know how this is going to go. I mean, obviously peaceful is best, but I think
you have the most militarized US government and establishment in its
history, perhaps in the early days it was more I don't know. Um and and and yet you also have
the most militarized public, right? And the only thing to change that is the
fear barrier in America. Yeah. Yeah. And I think this is a good
place uh to conclude, Charmaine, because uh there's going to be a lot more uh
updating needed as this war goes on and we see the trajectory clear up more and
more as these crises mount. I want to make sure everybody knows. I'm going to pull up um all the super chats and the
new members. I really appreciate all that support, but I want to make sure everyone knows to go to the video description after the show and check out
uh The Cradle. And you can support The Cradle uh via their donation button in their website. Uh so be sure to do that.
Hit the like button as you go. And there's all the um place to support this
channel in the video description as well. Charmaine, is there anything you want to say before we Yeah, I just want to say since uh
Saturday, since the onset of the war, the Cradle um the Cradle's YouTube channel uh once a day at I guess 8:00
p.m. Beirut time, which is probably 100 p.m. US time, Eastern Standard Time, is
giving a recap of the day's events and and the wars development. So for anyone who wants to dive really deep into the
weeds of what's happening in West Asia, we welcome you.
Great. And uh there was one question here. I don't know if there was one ironic question. Will US use iron beam?
Uh will Israel use the iron beam instead? Not sure what that means. Uh oh,
it's a thing. It's a thing. Yeah, we actually did an article on it on the cradle and I can't remember any
of it because it was a few years ago. It was before all this. Uh, the iron beam is supposed to be like a laser beam that
interceptor. Okay. Okay. So, I don't think it's ever been used yet. I think it's just tested,
but you know, we we'll see. We'll see. Ju just to let you know it's a real thing. Yeah. Great. And there was one question
about uh the support that Iran is getting in the world. Much of the world seems to be behind Iran right now. What
has shifted this? Um I think we covered that quite good, but if there's any comment you want to make on this quite
well. Um I think uh Iran's Iran so far is making every attempt and made it clear that we're
going to do this on our own. I don't know Danny if you saw the um social media posts or or the articles about
Chinese netizens um calling up and contacting the the Iranian embassy in
Beijing to donate. And Iran's like, "Thank you very much, kind people, but we really don't need that kind of help
now." They have turned down, I mean, the Russians said, I think, uh, was it the Kremlin said the other
day, yesterday or day before, that the Iranians have not asked for help yet. Um, Iran does have already access
partners in this region. The the Iraqi resistance are helping. Um, and and but but I don't know. I
don't think that's guided by Iran. Iraq has its own things to re address with
the Americans and American military. I would say that yeah and and Hezbollah knows that the
you know that that Israel's it was was going to attack all of Lebanon. So that started kind of
organically of its own potentially nothing to do with Iran. So um Iran
already has and Yemen hasn't even Ansaran Yemen has mentioned this. I can't
and and we know it's coming. There have been people on social media wondering like hm if the straight of four moves is
closed. Can the bubble men end up straight in the Red Sea be used as a kind of uh to make up for these losses?
Can you imagine choke point here and choke point there? It's and I think Yemen is waiting. This is my
prediction is that Yemen is waiting for the effects of Iran's own capacity to
slow down activity in the straight of Hormuz and then when there's a shift when they when they start to see a lot
of activity coming out of the region from the Red Sea from the up that they will then they will strike and that will
because I think people don't understand how important it is to have a kind of surprise element to this not to say okay
we're going to go in we're going to do it now to do it when it hurts the most when there's a heavy reliance and and
you don't want to tell these companies, the insurance companies, all this that, oh yeah, you're going to do this now. Like, no, no, no. You're going to do it
when it is going to hurt the most and it's going to surprise be a surprise. And that I think that's what is coming
down the line as the economy and world situation gets worse. You know, I mean, we were talking about Aura earlier. I mean, I have to say in
the last two and a half years, I mean, the player with Aura in West Asia is Yemen. I I I mean, we're we're still
trying to figure out a great t-shirt caption cuz we have merch as well at the cradle for this. We can't capture it
quite yet, but we're so sort of like, you know, adrenaline up about this, as I
was saying earlier, and we said, why is Yemen what what is Yemen thinking? Is Yemen going? So, we decided to call
someone in Ansar, political bureau member, and we have an article, was it out yesterday or today, quoting him? And
you know, per usual, in times of conflict, it's really hard to get statements from officials. He
said, "We are in this war, but when we're going to turn on our
thing is depends on our leaders on the trigger." Yeah. But again, I don't think this is
going to be Iran calling Ansaran saying, "Can you help us with this?" That's not how Iran wants to wage this war. For
your viewers who may not understand this, Operation True Promise 1, two, and three were nothing for Iran. Iran kept
saying, and believe what Iran says. Iran has continuously said, "We have been preparing for 40 years with a war with
the United States because they're the ones who have the eye on us. We're we're preparing for war with a superpower.
Israel's just a sideshow, right?" And now you can see the preparation, you
know, being unfolded. And so I think Iran's built the capabilities and the
asymmetrical strategies and tactics to fight a superpower. So for it to then call on
Russia and China and God knows who else for help. It's not the look it's going for if you
want to put it that way, you know. So a a lot less to see. And I'm sure we will in our respective channels be covering
every twist and turn. Uh Danny, by the way, I love being on your show. I don't know. I feel like
there's such a Let's do it. Let's do it. We're I just I just like the way our conversation flows.
Yeah. No, I mean I I you know cuz this channel uh is really dedicated to
putting out the perspective that people may not get and I definitely don't get in the western mainstream media but even alternative media uh they may not get it
either. Uh you know and I've been saying people said Charmaine to me Danny what do you have to say for yourself?
Hezbollah gone. uh Iran, you know, it's operation true promises. They didn't no
deterrence. Uh Gaza completely, utterly, right, a a disaster, all of this. And
then now you see in this moment the resistance is uh very much in play uh
everywhere. And uh it goes to show that there is an adage that this channel will never um go against which is because I
think his history just bears fruit of this fact that resistance does not
you don't you don't kill actual resistance. You can there are different you know it can eb it can flow it can
face setbacks but when the there's a moment to strike like Iran is right now
then you'll see it strike and you'll see exactly what people have spent decades of blood sweat and tears uh fighting for
which is their independence and sovereignty and whatever system they want to build for themselves uh in their
own self-determined way that is I think the po a big point that nobody's getting but yeah no I I try to have people on
who respect that who who understand this and who at least um will engage with it
because a lot of of course we know mainstream media doesn't want to engage with this. No, it's why people are watching us. You
know, they know the truth of it. They really do. I I am constantly
for people, you know, people say like uh politicians who say like, you know, the people the masses are stupid. I think
the masses sense things well before, you know, leaders do. Honestly, I I do.
So, um yeah. Good for us, right, for doing the work we do.
Yeah, seriously, every we should all give ourselves pats on the back. And of course, for everyone watching our
programs. Without further ado, everyone, we're going to end here. Hit the like button before you go. Uh the cradle is
in the video description. Check it out after you hit the like button. And then of course, all the places support this show are there, too. Thanks everyone who
watched, gave a super chat. Everyone who didn't, um we appreciate you, too. And until next time everyone, I'll see you
tomorrow at uh 1 pm Eastern time, March 7th with Stanislav Kaprnik who will give
a further military update of what's going on overnight. All right, everybody. Catch you on the next update. Bye-bye.
Now, this isn't to belittle, of course, the fact that there are civilian casualties. The US and Israel are doing
what they do, which is targeting schools, hospitals, uh targeting civilian infrastructure because they
hope both the US and Israel that Iran will break. Now CNN um uh Charmaine is in Iran right
now and they were allowed to come in and film and they had a different uh uh they
had a different interpretation of what's happening in Iran right now that I think is should be noted. A quick break for a coffee along the
way. We've been driving for several hours. There's a couple of things that we've noticed. Number one is that first of all, all the shops are open. All the
shops are really well stocked even with with fresh things like for instance fruits and vegetables. Um coffee
obviously also available as well. And then also the gas stations. There's no long lines as gas stations. Fuel seems
readily available and you just don't see any sort of degree of panic anywhere.
So I think that will come to shock US and Israeli war makers. Um and I think
this one uh to end uh this um amalgamation. Uh Charmaine, we also had
of course there's been rumors about a Kurdish USbacked incursion invasion into
Iran, ground offensive ground troops. How the US has even talked back and forth about maybe sending US ground
troops to Iran. Well, Abasagachi, the uh foreign minister of Iran, was asked on NBC about this, and here was his
response. Invasion in your country. Hold on. Sorry about that. Let me rewind it.
Are are you afraid of a US invasion in your country? No, we are waiting for them.
You you were waiting for the US military to invade the ground troops. Yes, because we are confident that we
can confront them and that would be a big disaster for them.
So, you're saying that that Iran is ready and willing to take on the US military if there were to be ground
troops? Well, we were ready for this war uh even more than the previous war.
So, there you have it. Uh Charmaine, uh if confidence was a bluff, then Iran is do
you know conducting the biggest bluff in the history of all wars. But it appears that there is some contrast between how
the US is framing this and how Iran is framing this or how Iran is reacting.
Do you know that thing? And like I mean you've seen pop culture, people have aura, right? It's a big word that Jenzie
uses, aura. Um, I feel like no matter how much
high-tech stuff you're putting out there, propaganda you're putting out there with, you know, your greatest
Marvel characters and whatever, you know, um, the shine has has
is gone from these things. And, uh, you know, so many people contrast this. It
was just, you know, big propaganda video and then that little side smile, you know, and the
shock, the shock of um the host is the best part. I mean, that has to be a meme that lasts a very,
very long time. Every time the US talks about going to war anywhere else, that one has to come out again because they
just simply don't understand. It's like Miz Rahi, the the uh Israeli journalist
uh that that I quoted um says, you know, he says uh we are witnessing history.
Iran is to the surprise of everyone effing up US bases so thoroughly and extensively and so decisively that the
world isn't ready to see it. That host is not ready to see it. Okay, Donald
Trump is insisting, you know, we've had accounts now from behind the scenes in
the leadup to the war that every time Trump was with his generals and they were saying something he didn't want to
hear, he was losing his mind and saying, "No, you know, give me a different answer." And and this is what you get.
And what you have is this at the end of this is going to be this clunky rusty old American, you know, PR machine that
has has missed, you know, they come across boomerlike for Gen Z now. They're
just, oh, we can see through the cracks. What who are you trying to kid? Right. And then the Iranians very subtle and to
the point, you know, no razzledazzle. I I mean in the propaganda war um well
first of all honestly Danny one of the things that's most shocking about this and the US has never never not done this
it's always set the stage for a war it's always made sure public opinion has been
bought and paid for okay and fully propagandized and they have majority of the population supporting a war before
they go in in this case it was absolutely not the case a majority was against this war and every day they
vacasillated on message and you know you're there you're watching it so I
don't uh I don't see I don't know sorry I know there's a second and third part
to your question but it's gone out of my head because I can't get the host out of my head you know what do you mean what
do you mean yeah I mean it's US troops are coming godamn it you know yeah I mean and that's the that's the uh
op that's like the the final boss so to speak the end game of any war that the
US wages right it's throwing everything you have short of boots on the ground boots on the ground
and then saying which is a big crisis you know in whatever you think of him in
the audience I don't know you know whatever people may their views of Iran or him when he says it's going to be a
disaster that's not a view that only Iran shares that's a view that a lot of the US establishment shares that's a lot
that's a view that a lot of Americans share given how unpopular this war is and this isn't to say. Of course, here
you have the whole scentcom page, right? If you go to ScentCom, you'll see uh all you will see is them hitting targets,
right? So, you know, we can't verify the validity of these. We know that there's been a lot of decoys being hit um as
well. But this is to acknowledge that yes, uh the US is bombing Iran and the US is hitting quote unquote targets. But
Charmaine, when we see the confus, when we see CNN in Iran, Yeah. saying that
there isn't panic, then that shows a level of preparation, a reaction that must be driving both the
US and Israel very very very mad because that's that's bad. Not to mention what
Iran can do militarily, which is happening, too. I mean, I just want to
say I've always thought that if anything like what happens in West Asia happened
in Western Europe or the United States, people would fall apart on day one because we have we have centuries
of invasion and um ousting the invaders, right? We
ousted the crusaders and we ousted everybody and then they came back in a
different formation and the region has been weak and weakened you know since colonial days. Um but it's always risen
again right Asia was where the global economy was I mean you know global
economy global commerce global trade was born then through some aberration of
history it went west for a couple of hundred years and guess what the natural organic waste swinging back to where all
the resources are in the world so there's a sort of in the DNA of a lot of
people in this region is just you know we we have to bear it and better times
will come. And then there is the faith element in Iran, you know, especially the the the fact that, you know, 90
something percentage percent of Iranians are Shia Muslims who have, you know, a
strong element of um rejecting injustice core to their their Shia value system.
Okay? rejecting injustice, sacrificing to um to overthrow those who
you know the evil ones, the evildoers, right? So sacrifice, martyrdom, look at
how the supreme leader of Iran spoke in in the days, right? U I think some of
the speeches that went around Western median were translated, you know, I I get my honor and my dignity from you the
people or um why would I scurry away to some hiding place when my people can't
save themselves, right? I mean, it's it's a whole different way of thinking and it's civilizational.
And when people talk about a country like Iran, 2500 plus years old, compared
to the US, 250 um years old, going, you know, whoop
whoop whoop, right? And boots on the ground and like, you know, yippy cay.
It's just I don't know. It's immature, right? It's just immature. It's it's
like we've been dazzled with the pyroactics of technology and you know
and the dazzle of it and the and the propagandizing of it for so long um that
we bought into we bought into this thing you know we bought into US hijgemony in
a big way but it's unraveling so fast now it's quite astounding and I will say you know like most people who were
anti-imperialists in the world nothing against America your government, you know, and I think
it's increasingly we see that Americans have no way to change their government unless they rise up and die for it.
Okay. Um but we also have no way of stopping American wars unless Americans
die. All right. Either way, you're going to have to die for this uh calamity that
has been wrought upon the world to stop. Yeah. Uh that's a that's a really
important point. That's a really important point especially to get across to uh those uh living in the United
States who uh don't uh support this which is the vast majority and you know
I think uh you know we we have Charmaine of course we can cover this over and
over and over again right uh this is Sentcom again I want to reiterate this is Sentcom saying that Iran has hit all
these targets and a lot of them have been destroyed these bases are not operating um to any degree. Uh and we
also have of course which I think is a really important point uh here is an important oil facility in Bahrain. Uh uh
there you have there you have citizens of Bahrain videotaping in cheering. This
is a scene that you see all the time. Uh missiles going overhead of Jordans uh
citizens there cheering. here you have people uh videotaping as if it's something very nice to see uh something
to share around and show uh people and so it's this kind of atmosphere that I
think is causing a lot of concern for the United States and I just want to pull up how Donald Trump has been taking
it in particular because he wrote this he is doubling down you said you're
surprised at how the US is sounding so confident well Donald Trump's uh very
unhinged kind of social media post here calling for un unconditional surrender.
That's the only time there will be a deal. Uh that there's going to be a great future for Iran. We're going to
make it great again. Uh that's what we're doing. Uh there's a lot of coping,
I think, happening here. In the Time magazine uh uh article where he was
interviewed, he was asked whether Americans should worry about retaliation. He says, "I guess, but I
think they're worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it, but yeah, we expect some things. Like I said, people will die.
When you go to war, people will die." But the message, Charmaine, is very mixed because uh you have Republicans,
his own party, contradicting him all the time. He's calling it a war. And you have Mike Johnson here. He doesn't want
to call it a war. We just had an important series of votes on the House floor. As you know, the War Powers Resolution failed. That is the
right result. Uh we are not at war. We have no intention of being at war. The president and the department of defense
have made this very clear. The department of war has made it very clear. This is a a limited operation.
It's a operation that's limited in its scope and duration. So it's a limited operation. But there
then you had Trump, you know, in an unhinged manner talking about how people die in war. Americans he's talking about. So this is a very I think there's
a big crisis emerging that a lot of people aren't talking about. You had a I
believe it was a former Marine uh I don't know if he was a Congress person. Uh he had his arm broken. Uh I
Yeah, I saw that video and he was in full uniform and it and he and he wasn't yelling or hysterical. I think a
congress doing this to a UN Marine, you know, and it I'll find it. But yeah, you continue.
Yeah. Um you know, war is um unpredictable.
Uh there are highs and lows in the sense of depending on what side you're on,
right? Um there are battles within wars. Uh and some you lose, some you win. In
this sense, I cannot see an American win at all. I mean, at all. And why is that?
Well, they've they've lost everything they have in this region militarily,
right, so far. Okay. They Iran has shown that the US controls nothing in the
Persian Gulf. That it is Iran that controls whether there is um um movement
of vessels, shipping, whether there's economy that happens in the Persian Gulf
or not. It is by the way the biggest latoral state of the Persian Gulf,
meaning it has the longest contiguous border on the Persian Gulf of any of the
countries of that area. Uh what we're seeing is Israel being
hammered. This was never supposed to be a visual that we'd see and and now
Israel is being hammered in all its vulnerabilities and that will increase.
I don't see any win scenario for the US. Um unless every speck of Iran is
destroyed and how is that a win for the US? But worse so as this war is waged uh
by the Americans, Americans themselves are turning on
their government, not just their government, all aspects of their government, Democrat or Republican,
right? It comes at a time where the discourse in America is about the
Epstein elite, right? It's everywhere. Nobody I mean, it's just not stopped.
This is Trump's biggest nightmare. This is the you know western elitees biggest
nightmare or global elite for that matter. Um they are all somehow whether
they participated in the rape or eating of babies or the you know I who knows
what. Um it's kind of like what happened with Harvey Weinstein, right? Um you may
not have been raped by him or you may not have known someone who'd been raped by him, but you knew it was going on.
You know what I mean? So they're all complicit and so the rot is at the top
and um how can a country wage a war like this when it's rotting from within? It
has the biggest um budget deficit in global history which is galloping along,
right? It has it it's split down the middle in sides and the sides aren't
just Republican and Democrat. They're pro-Israel and anti-Israel. There's so
many things now. They're the color for your skin. They're, you know, um whether
you're real American or not, it's it's kind of, you know, empire has has rotted
already. And we, you know, this war may be the nail, you know, that nail in its
coffin. So, for anyone who thinks I'm being too jubilant, um,
well, we're journalists, okay? So what happens is when you do this 24/7 anyways
and you can't stop reading about the news even in peace time and then a war comes on the adrenaline is so crazy
literally you can't sleep and you got to laugh at things okay so please excuse me for not being
you know so serious all the time I mean the Iranian people if we take
your leadership they are putting on if we just think it's a fake case, which I don't think it is. I don't think we've
we don't see Iran resorting to bluffs or lies or there when Arach is on
television, he is speaking a very particular kind of message. You want to believe it or not,
it's that's up to you. But I think the results are showing exactly um where the
panic, where the frustration, where the inconsistency lies. I think that's a big one where you
have literally the same administration, the same political party uh saying
different things all of the time and then publishing videos where uh they're
claim in very very very very low resolution claiming they are hitting all kinds of targets when we've already seen
over and over again how good Iran is. If you want to acknowledge something Iran is doing, they have decoys everywhere
and they have made a humiliation. I want to play this video though of the Marine who was just absolutely um attacked by a
senator, a US senator. This was Ryan McGinness who was literally just
protesting uh uh the war. And here is how he was treated. And I this doesn't
look like an administration and a government that's confident about its position. Here we go.
No one wants to fight for Israel. His hand. His hand. Oh,
his hand.
Sir, let go of your hand. Let go of the door.
The senator broke his hand. A sitting US senator just broke the hand
of a marine. Sirenate
stuck in the door. Sir, a US senator just broke the hand of a Marine.
A US. So there you have it. Uh Charming, I mean your reactions. I mean
this is this is the state of things around this world. There is not a consensus in the US political
establishment about this. There's many trying to double down. There's of course Democrats being very feckless about it
and allowing uh for this to go on with very little protests. But at the same time uh we see that there are many holes
to this that are only going to get wider as the crisis mount. You know I just something that might be
shocking to people who know me and my politics for many years. Um I have a
real um soft spot for veterans. Um uh even American ones. I mean actually
of all wars. These are usually young men and women who have either been brought up in a military culture or you know go
sign up with their armies for various reasons if not drafted and then become
pawns you know become absolute pawns and whose lives are absolutely ruined. I
have to say the amount of American and Israeli soldiers who kill themselves.
You do not see that in Iran. You did not see that with the Syrian army under
Bashar Assad. You didn't you didn't you do not see that with Hezbollah. You do not see that with the Russian army. You
do not see that with the PLA. And the reason is they don't fight useless wars. They fight true wars. you know, wars in
the old wars. The kings always rode into battle leading his troops, right? The
king wasn't protected from the wars. He would ride into battle and war would
therefore only happen when it was a necessity to protect, you know. Well, of
course, there were those uh who who who tried to um what's it called? You know,
the expansionist wars and the the wars of conquest. That's another thing. In this case, in this region, a lot of the
wars are defensive wars. And nobody's going to feel bad about what happens during war. But what these young
Americans have to experience. They go into a foreign land. The climate is different. Everything's different. You
know, um they complain they're not getting the right shielding and this and that, right, from their multi-trillion
dollar budgets, right, that they have. and and their pawns. You know, all the
American presidents who've sanctioned war, they're not on the front line. They never go unless super protected. In my
experience, I was not only married to um a war veteran, but um I did projects on
veterans in college. Uh I have a great deal of sympathy for them. And when I was living in Washington DC for a good
many years, I always found the US military guys um
very much more sage than I found the civilian uh the civilian sector. Okay?
Because the the US military would always game scenarios. They would always put themselves I mean when I did the model
United Nations in college, West Point, right? West Point College that year was
um was was Libya. Do you know what I mean? They actually thrust themselves
into the adversar's mind. They learn things. They they they they uh they
learn they be they become more humble because they learn from the inside. Okay.
They're supposed to question strategy. I don't know if that exists in the US military anymore. I feel for these
characters, you know, and and I think more and more veterans are just we don't
hear loudly enough from veterans, but veterans are usually the most anti-war
people I've met in the United States. Um, so I think seeing this man in full
uniform and not screaming and shouting, okay, um, but his hand broke that is is
a real tragedy, I think. Yeah, I don't I really don't know how much more to say about that. I I found it disgusting. I
find the American government disgusting. I find American leaders disgusting and vile and American billionaires
disgusting and vile. And when they when Americans go, "Oh, why did Jack Ma
disappear? The Chinese government took him and like beat some cents into him."
You know, like how dare they? That's not free and democratic. You guys complain about your billionaires all day long. So
when China reminds their billionaires, hang on, you're not bigger than the state. You're not bigger than the
greater good and the the the the communal good, right? Um uh they've done
something wrong. I think uh I I don't know. I don't think there are any answers to America right now. I've always contended I mean it's been for
almost 20 years now. contended that America needs to crash and burn and be rebuilt because there are no band-aid
solutions for this one. Yeah. Well, uh uh you know, I think the
question is what role will people in the United States play in whether in and you
know where what that crash and burn looks like? We know that the economic system always crashes and we know that
this war Charmaine we're already we covered it all here today or at least we covered a lot of it. We know where the
holes are. We know where the crises are mounting. We know from economic to the military side to the political side,
there's going to be mounting crisis the longer this goes on. And uh the question
will be how do people in the United States react to this? Uh and how do they, you know, um do exactly that? You
know, do they crash and burn and build something new? Hell, I am not a you know, I I'm not rah rah US history, you
know, initial founding, all of that. But hell, even uh the founding fathers,
Thomas Jefferson said, you know, uh if you gotta, you know, if the government ain't working for you, then you got to
get get a new government, you know, and that's that that's kind of what's happening
right now. Uh the government is not working for people in the United States. Of course, it is beholden to all of the
forces that you just mentioned, including the billionaires and the rest. Look, just as we're
experiencing something new, a a global south country um that is wiping out US
military bases and assets in this region. We're like, "Oh, what? What?" You know, we we we haven't seen that
before. There's a lot of new things that we're going to have to see, right? We've been taught to unsee. Let's be frank
about that. You know, there's nothing conspiratorial here. The fact is that you know the US government and a lot of
western governments as economies have like especially as economies have declined have sought to control
um and sway the the the views of their populations. They talk openly about it.
It's not like you know DARPA the the um technology arm of the US uh department
of defense uh has has developed tools in which you have US servicemen that can be
10 different personalities online and these tools are deployed to sway perceptions on social media right I mean
this is open source information so I would say what the Americans were
telling us at the beginning of the Arab Spring they were blaring ing from their headlines um that the fear barrier has
been broken. Oh, look, in Egypt, the fear barrier has been broken. In Syria, the fear barrier has been broken. In
Libya, the fear I mean, it just went on and on and on. And the fact is those words are compelling. It makes you think
about what you're doing in that moment. And you're like, you're right. I have no fear now. Right? And a new narrative is
set. You need to jump over your fear barrier. What's What are you going to
do? I mean, what what are they going to do? Shoot Americans? Yeah, they will. They will. Okay. And then they'll have to stop
because American uh the American population is the most well-armed
population in the world. Okay. What did you buy those things for? Surely not to
kill every moose in America. Okay. There's a reason you're armed
potentially. Um I I don't uh I don't know how this is going to go. I mean, obviously peaceful is best, but I think
you have the most militarized US government and establishment in its
history, perhaps in the early days it was more I don't know. Um and and and yet you also have
the most militarized public, right? And the only thing to change that is the
fear barrier in America. Yeah. Yeah. And I think this is a good
place uh to conclude, Charmaine, because uh there's going to be a lot more uh
updating needed as this war goes on and we see the trajectory clear up more and
more as these crises mount. I want to make sure everybody knows. I'm going to pull up um all the super chats and the
new members. I really appreciate all that support, but I want to make sure everyone knows to go to the video description after the show and check out
uh The Cradle. And you can support The Cradle uh via their donation button in their website. Uh so be sure to do that.
Hit the like button as you go. And there's all the um place to support this
channel in the video description as well. Charmaine, is there anything you want to say before we Yeah, I just want to say since uh
Saturday, since the onset of the war, the Cradle um the Cradle's YouTube channel uh once a day at I guess 8:00
p.m. Beirut time, which is probably 100 p.m. US time, Eastern Standard Time, is
giving a recap of the day's events and and the wars development. So for anyone who wants to dive really deep into the
weeds of what's happening in West Asia, we welcome you.
Great. And uh there was one question here. I don't know if there was one ironic question. Will US use iron beam?
Uh will Israel use the iron beam instead? Not sure what that means. Uh oh,
it's a thing. It's a thing. Yeah, we actually did an article on it on the cradle and I can't remember any
of it because it was a few years ago. It was before all this. Uh, the iron beam is supposed to be like a laser beam that
interceptor. Okay. Okay. So, I don't think it's ever been used yet. I think it's just tested,
but you know, we we'll see. We'll see. Ju just to let you know it's a real thing. Yeah. Great. And there was one question
about uh the support that Iran is getting in the world. Much of the world seems to be behind Iran right now. What
has shifted this? Um I think we covered that quite good, but if there's any comment you want to make on this quite
well. Um I think uh Iran's Iran so far is making every attempt and made it clear that we're
going to do this on our own. I don't know Danny if you saw the um social media posts or or the articles about
Chinese netizens um calling up and contacting the the Iranian embassy in
Beijing to donate. And Iran's like, "Thank you very much, kind people, but we really don't need that kind of help
now." They have turned down, I mean, the Russians said, I think, uh, was it the Kremlin said the other
day, yesterday or day before, that the Iranians have not asked for help yet. Um, Iran does have already access
partners in this region. The the Iraqi resistance are helping. Um, and and but but I don't know. I
don't think that's guided by Iran. Iraq has its own things to re address with
the Americans and American military. I would say that yeah and and Hezbollah knows that the
you know that that Israel's it was was going to attack all of Lebanon. So that started kind of
organically of its own potentially nothing to do with Iran. So um Iran
already has and Yemen hasn't even Ansaran Yemen has mentioned this. I can't
and and we know it's coming. There have been people on social media wondering like hm if the straight of four moves is
closed. Can the bubble men end up straight in the Red Sea be used as a kind of uh to make up for these losses?
Can you imagine choke point here and choke point there? It's and I think Yemen is waiting. This is my
prediction is that Yemen is waiting for the effects of Iran's own capacity to
slow down activity in the straight of Hormuz and then when there's a shift when they when they start to see a lot
of activity coming out of the region from the Red Sea from the up that they will then they will strike and that will
because I think people don't understand how important it is to have a kind of surprise element to this not to say okay
we're going to go in we're going to do it now to do it when it hurts the most when there's a heavy reliance and and
you don't want to tell these companies, the insurance companies, all this that, oh yeah, you're going to do this now. Like, no, no, no. You're going to do it
when it is going to hurt the most and it's going to surprise be a surprise. And that I think that's what is coming
down the line as the economy and world situation gets worse. You know, I mean, we were talking about Aura earlier. I mean, I have to say in
the last two and a half years, I mean, the player with Aura in West Asia is Yemen. I I I mean, we're we're still
trying to figure out a great t-shirt caption cuz we have merch as well at the cradle for this. We can't capture it
quite yet, but we're so sort of like, you know, adrenaline up about this, as I
was saying earlier, and we said, why is Yemen what what is Yemen thinking? Is Yemen going? So, we decided to call
someone in Ansar, political bureau member, and we have an article, was it out yesterday or today, quoting him? And
you know, per usual, in times of conflict, it's really hard to get statements from officials. He
said, "We are in this war, but when we're going to turn on our
thing is depends on our leaders on the trigger." Yeah. But again, I don't think this is
going to be Iran calling Ansaran saying, "Can you help us with this?" That's not how Iran wants to wage this war. For
your viewers who may not understand this, Operation True Promise 1, two, and three were nothing for Iran. Iran kept
saying, and believe what Iran says. Iran has continuously said, "We have been preparing for 40 years with a war with
the United States because they're the ones who have the eye on us. We're we're preparing for war with a superpower.
Israel's just a sideshow, right?" And now you can see the preparation, you
know, being unfolded. And so I think Iran's built the capabilities and the
asymmetrical strategies and tactics to fight a superpower. So for it to then call on
Russia and China and God knows who else for help. It's not the look it's going for if you
want to put it that way, you know. So a a lot less to see. And I'm sure we will in our respective channels be covering
every twist and turn. Uh Danny, by the way, I love being on your show. I don't know. I feel like
there's such a Let's do it. Let's do it. We're I just I just like the way our conversation flows.
Yeah. No, I mean I I you know cuz this channel uh is really dedicated to
putting out the perspective that people may not get and I definitely don't get in the western mainstream media but even alternative media uh they may not get it
either. Uh you know and I've been saying people said Charmaine to me Danny what do you have to say for yourself?
Hezbollah gone. uh Iran, you know, it's operation true promises. They didn't no
deterrence. Uh Gaza completely, utterly, right, a a disaster, all of this. And
then now you see in this moment the resistance is uh very much in play uh
everywhere. And uh it goes to show that there is an adage that this channel will never um go against which is because I
think his history just bears fruit of this fact that resistance does not
you don't you don't kill actual resistance. You can there are different you know it can eb it can flow it can
face setbacks but when the there's a moment to strike like Iran is right now
then you'll see it strike and you'll see exactly what people have spent decades of blood sweat and tears uh fighting for
which is their independence and sovereignty and whatever system they want to build for themselves uh in their
own self-determined way that is I think the po a big point that nobody's getting but yeah no I I try to have people on
who respect that who who understand this and who at least um will engage with it
because a lot of of course we know mainstream media doesn't want to engage with this. No, it's why people are watching us. You
know, they know the truth of it. They really do. I I am constantly
for people, you know, people say like uh politicians who say like, you know, the people the masses are stupid. I think
the masses sense things well before, you know, leaders do. Honestly, I I do.
So, um yeah. Good for us, right, for doing the work we do.
Yeah, seriously, every we should all give ourselves pats on the back. And of course, for everyone watching our
programs. Without further ado, everyone, we're going to end here. Hit the like button before you go. Uh the cradle is
in the video description. Check it out after you hit the like button. And then of course, all the places support this show are there, too. Thanks everyone who
watched, gave a super chat. Everyone who didn't, um we appreciate you, too. And until next time everyone, I'll see you
tomorrow at uh 1 pm Eastern time, March 7th with Stanislav Kaprnik who will give
a further military update of what's going on overnight. All right, everybody. Catch you on the next update. Bye-bye.

Arab Fighters BOMBARD Hotel Housing American Troops In Iranian Backyard? Irbil On Fire, Iraq On Edge
Times Of India
Mar 6, 2026 #iranconflict #iraqdroneattack #erbil
Explosive-laden drones targeted key locations in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, escalating fears that the widening Iran conflict is spilling into new territory. An attack drone struck near the Erbil Arjaan by Rotana in Erbil, though air defenses successfully intercepted it before impact. The attempted strike came hours after the United States Embassy Baghdad warned that Iran-aligned militias could target locations frequented by foreigners. Security forces say coalition air defenses shot down four explosive drones over Erbil, while two others attempted to hit a United States Military base near the airport. Another drone targeted the headquarters of an Iranian Kurdish opposition group. Meanwhile in southern Basra, drones struck the Burjesia oil complex, triggering fires at facilities linked to Halliburton and KBR.

foreigners. According to Turkey today,
the drone was successfully intercepted
and debris fell near the hotel,
resulting in no casualties.
Air Bill's counterterrorism forces said
international coalition air defenses
shot down four drones carrying
explosives over the city.
Two additional drones targeted a US
military base near Airbil's airport and
another drone attack targeted the Airbal
headquarters of an Iranian Kurdish
opposition group. According to the
Jerusalem Post,
separately, two drones targeted a vital
facility in the southern Iraqi city of
Basra. Two security sources told AFP
that a drone struck the Borgisia oil
complex in Basra, an energy site hosting
foreign companies. Fire broke out in
offices and warehouses belonging to US
firms Hallebertton and KBR. This was the
second such incident that took place on
Friday.
A security official said two drones were
shot down over the facility, but a third
penetrated defenses and hit the site.
It is unclear if Iran is directly
involved in the drone strikes or Iran
linked Iraqi militants carried out the
attacks.
The Iran conflict has disrupted energy
production, strained the power grid, and
raised fears among Kurds of being caught
in a broader regional confrontation.
Kurdistan region leaders say they are
being drawn into the widening conflict.
Kurdistan region President Nervan
Barzani reiterated that the region does
not intend to engage in the conflict and
warned that the escalation threatens
local security and lives. Kurdish
officials have rejected claims that they
are coordinating offensives into Iran,
saying they seek to preserve peace and
stability.
Iran has launched strikes on suspected
Kurdish separatist positions in Iraq's
Eril in what appears to be a warning
shot amid growing fears of a new front
opening. ing in the widening Middle East
conflict. Visuals broadcast by Iran's
state-run press TV showed thick plumes
of smoke rising from areas near Erbil
after the strikes. Tran claims the
operation targeted armed Kurdish groups
it accuses of planning attacks inside
Iranian territory. The strikes come at a
time when tensions between Iran and the
United States are already at boiling
point. Iranian officials have long
accused Kurdish separatist groups
operating along the Iran Iraq border of
receiving support from foreign
intelligence agencies. Tran says these
groups have repeatedly attempted to
infiltrate western Iran and destabilize
the country. According to a report by
Reuters, several Iranian Kurdish armed
groups based along the Iran Iraq border
have recently been discussing possible
operations against Iran's security
forces. The report says members of the
Kurdish coalition have been training and
preparing for attacks aimed at weakening
Iran's military presence in the region.
The developments are raising concerns
that the Kurdish region of northern Iraq
could become another flash point in the
broader confrontation involving Iran,
Israel, and the United States. Tran has
warned repeatedly that it will strike
any group it believes is preparing
crossber attacks against Iranian
territory. Meanwhile, a CNN report says
the CIA is working behind the scenes
with Kurdish groups in an effort to
pressure the Iranian government.
Multiple people familiar with the matter
told CNN that the US intelligence agency
is exploring ways to support Kurdish
forces and potentially arm them as part
of a strategy to trigger unrest inside
Iran. According to CNN, discussions
about possible operations inside Iran
have intensified in recent days. Kurdish
fighters based along the border are
reportedly assessing whether they could
launch coordinated attacks against
Iranian security forces if the conflict
in the region escalates further.
Iran launched a massive attack on
separatists in neighboring Iraq's
Kurdistan province amid reports that the
CIA could fund and arm the Kurdish
forces to spark an uprising in the
Islamic Republic.
Explosions and roars tore through the
night silence in Kurdistan.
Another footage showed fireballs from
debris, possibly from a missile falling
near a house, triggering chaos and
panic.
Multiple blasts were also reported
earlier in the province of Sulammania in
northern Iraq.
Local sources said the attacks targeted
the headquarters of the Kurdistan
Toilers Association or Kumala, an
Iranian Kurdish armed group in Iraq.
But why is Iran targeting Iraq's
Kurdistan amid the raging conflict with
the US and Israel?
The attacks come amid reports that
Iranian Kurdish armed groups have
consulted with the United States in
recent days about whether and how to
attack Iran's security forces in the
western part of the country. According
to Reuters, the Iranian Kurdish
coalition of groups based on the Iran
Iraq border has been training to mount
such an attack in hopes of weakening the
country's military.
Multiple people familiar with the matter
told CNN that the CIA, America's top spy
agency, is working to arm Kurdish forces
to ferment an uprising in Iran.
The source revealed that the Trump
administration has been in active
discussions with Iranian opposition
groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq about
providing them with military support.
On March 3rd, US President Donald Trump
even spoke with the president of the
Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan,
Mustafa Hedri, according to a senior
Iranian Kurdish official. According to
CNN,
the Trump administration reported report
reportedly is considering arming Kurdish
uh forces in the hopes of inspiring a
popular uprising in Iran. Could you
comment on that report?
I could comment on the fact that the
president has held many calls with
partners, allies, and leaders in the
region in the Middle East. Uh he did
speak to Kurdish leaders with respect to
our base that we have in northern Iraq.
Uh but as for any report suggesting that
the president has agreed to any such
plan is completely false and should not
be written.
Secretary, so there are reports that the
administration is considering arming
Iranian Kurdish groups. So could you
please clarify that whether any such
plan has been authorized or and uh
whether Congress or regional partners
has been notified and u consulted. All I
would say is u none of our objectives
are premised on the support or the
arming of of any any particular force.
So what other entities may be doing
we're aware of. Uh but our objectives
aren't centered on that. Remember
Iranian Kurdish armed groups have
thousands of forces operating along the
Iraq Iran border primarily in Iraq's
Kurdistan region. The Kurdish people are
an ethnic minority group without an
official state. There are an estimated
25 to 30 million Kurds, the majority
living in a region that stretches across
parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and
Armenia. Most Kurds are Sunni Muslims,
but the Kurdish population has diverse
cultural, social, religious, and
political traditions, as well as a
variety of dialects.
Several of the groups have released
public statements since the beginning of
the war, hinting at imminent action and
urging Iranian military forces to
defect. But Iran's IRGC has been
striking Kurdish groups in the
mountainous areas in Iraqi Kurdistan.
Thrron has targeted multiple locations
it claims are linked to Israeli
strategic centers as well as bases and
facilities associated with Iranian
Kurdish opposition groups.
An Iranian drone on March 4th targeted
an arms depot at the headquarters of an
Iranian Kurdish opposition group in the
town of Dala. Two drones also targeted a
US military base and a hotel in Urbil.
Urbil, the capital of the Kurdistan
region, has endured several consecutive
days of drone and rocket barges. Many of
these attacks have targeted the US
military presence at Urbil International
Airport.
Mounting attacks by the IRGC and
pro-Iran militant groups forced the
Kurdistan Regional Government or KRG to
issue a statement distancing the
autonomous region from any military
activity directed against Iran.

used as a launching ground for attacks

CONFIRMED: Iran DESTROYS $300 Million U.S. Radar In Just One Hit On American Base In Jordan
Times Of India

Iran has reportedly destroyed a key high-value U.S. missile defense radar, dealing a major blow to Washington’s air-defense network in the Gulf. According to a Bloomberg report citing a U.S. official, the $300 million radar — part of the AN/TPY-2 Radar used by the THAAD Missile Defense System — was taken out during the opening phase of the conflict. The radar provided critical tracking data to guide missile interceptors and detect incoming ballistic threats. Without it, interception duties could fall heavily on MIM-104 Patriot Missile System batteries, which rely on PAC-3 missiles already in limited supply. Commercial satellite imagery cited by CNN showed the radar and support equipment destroyed at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, with U.S. officials later confirming the damage. Data compiled by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies indicates two Iranian strikes targeting sites in Jordan in late February and early March.

Iran reportedly struck a key high value
US missile defense radar in Jordan,
which is critical for the Gulf region's
security.
According to a Bloomberg report citing a
US official, Iran managed to destroy the
radar system worth $300 million.
It was a core part of the US missile
defense network in the Gulf, providing
crucial data to track incoming missiles
and guide interceptor batteries like
THAAD and Patriot. Without this sensor,
missile defense systems could face
delays in detecting and tracking
threats.
CNN citing commercial satellite imagery
earlier reported that satellite photos
show an RTX Corp NTPY2
radar and support equipment used by US
THAAD missile defense systems was
destroyed at Muafak Salti air base in
Jordan in the opening days of the war. A
US official later confirmed the
destruction of the equipment.
Data gathered by the Foundation for
Defense of Democracies think tank show
two reported Iranian strikes in Jordan.
One was destroyed on February 28th and
the second was on March 3. Both were
reported to have been intercepted as per
Bloomberg.
If the attack on THAAD is true, this
would mark Iran's most successful attack
so far.
US terminal highaltitude area defense or
THAAD units are meant to destroy
ballistic missiles at the edges of the
atmosphere, enabling them to engage more
difficult threats than shorter range
Patriot batteries. With this ANTPY2
radar out of commission, missile
interception duties will fall onto the
Patriot systems for which PAC3 missiles
are already in short supply as per
Bloomberg.
The US has eight THAAD units globally,
including in South Korea and Guam. The
batteries cost about a billion dollars
each with the radar comprising about $30
million of that. According to the Center
for Strategic and International Studies,
a THAD battery consists of 90 soldiers,
six truckmounted launchers, and 48
interceptors, eight per launcher, one
TPY2 radar, as well as a tactical fire
control and communication unit. Each
interceptor missile manufactured by
Loheed Martin Corp. costs about $13
million.
During the initial days of the war, an
ANFPS132
radar in Qatar, a fixed installation,
unlike the mobile FAD system, was also
damaged in an Iranian attack. That
system is an early warning radar
designed to spot threats at extreme
distances, but without the precision
needed to launch weapons at them.
Iran's unprecedented retaliation using
missiles and drones has overwhelmed US
air defense systems in the Middle East.
It has prompted fears that stockpiles of
advanced interceptors such as THAAD and
Patriot 3 will soon run dangerously low.
On Friday, defense contractors including
Lockheed and RTX met at the White House
as the Pentagon pushes to speed weapons
production.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
says it has launched a large-scale
attack on US military bases across the
Gulf region.
In a statement cited by Iranian media,
the IRGC claimed it fired ballistic
missiles, cruise missiles, and drones at
several American installations, marking
one of the most direct strikes yet
against US forces during the ongoing
conflict.
According
to the IRGC statement carried by Iranian
outlets, the targets included El Defra
air base in the United Arab Emirates,
Ali Al-Salem air base in Kuwait, and
Aludade air base in Qatar. These bases
are key hubs for American air operations
and military coordination across the
Middle East.
The IRGC claims the strikes damaged
multiple strategic facilities at these
installations. Iranian forces say radar
systems, drone operation facilities,
fuel depots, air traffic control
infrastructure, and sections of runways
were hit during the attack. The claims
have not yet been independently
verified.
Iran's elite military force also issued
a warning following the strikes. The
IRGC said retaliatory operations would
continue and warned that Iran's enemies
should expect what it called further
decisive surprises on the battlefield as
the conflict escalates.
Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates has
confirmed casualties following the
attacks. The UAE Ministry of Defense
said Iranian strikes on the country left
three people dead and 112 others
injured. Authorities said the victims
include citizens from 19 different
countries.
Officials in the UAE said emergency
services responded quickly to the
strikes and the injured were transported
to nearby hospitals.
Authorities have not yet released
details on the nationalities of those
killed, but confirmed that the wounded
include both foreign nationals and
Iranian citizens.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
says it has launched the 22nd wave of
Operation True Promise 4, firing a
barrage of missiles towards Israeli and
US linked targets.
The announcement was made in a statement
carried by Tasnim news agency. According
to Taznim, the new wave began Friday
afternoon under the code name Ya Hussein
Iban Ali. The IRGC said missiles were
launched toward what it described as the
heart of the occupied territories. The
IRGC said the strike involved several
missile types including Horamsh 4,
Kaibar and Fatah missiles targeting
locations from the Persian Gulf region
to Tel Aviv. The statement carried by
Tasnim news agency said targets included
American and Israeli linked facilities
in Gulf countries along with locations
around Tel Aviv, Bengurian airport and
military centers in Hifa. Iran said one
of the missiles used in the barrage was
the Horamsh 4, described as an
ultraheavy missile carrying a two-tonon
warhead and capable of speeds exceeding
Mach 14. According to the IRGC
statement, Iranian officials also
rejected claims that its missile
capabilities have weakened. The IRGC
said the latest launches demonstrate
that its network of missile bases
remains fully operational. Tasnim
reported a senior IRGC official told
Fars news agency that most missiles
fired during the first week of the war
were older systems produced between 2012
and 2014. The official said Iran has
largely held back its newest missile
systems so far, but warned that more
advanced long range missiles could be
used in the coming days if the conflict
continues. According to farce, the IRGC
says it is prepared for a prolonged war
until what it calls the aggressor is
punished.
The Iranian ballistic missiles targeted
the Bengurian International Airport in
Israel, the Israeli media reported.
According to Israeli media, there had
been no reports of injuries following
the latest Iranian ballistic missile
attack on central Israel. According to
the Israeli military, a small number of
missiles were launched in the Salvo.
There were no reports of direct impacts
in residential areas. Fragments
reportedly landed in some areas.
Sirens went off in Tel Aviv again after
Iran launched ballistic missiles on the
Israeli capital. The latest strikes mark
a full week of attacks affecting
countries across the Middle East. The
IDF Home Front Command said civilians in
areas where sirens sounded can now leave
bomb shelters, but should still remain
close to them.
The Iranian military's missile strikes
took place amid Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu chairing a meeting on
the security assessment. Video released
by the Israeli government press office
showed alleged footage from the meeting
of Benjamin Netanyahu with security
officials, including David Zeni, head of
Israel's security agency, and several
ministers. Those present included
Defense Minister Israel Katz, Foreign
Minister Gideon Sar, Finance Minister
Bezel Smootrich, and National Security
Minister Itar Benfir.
Iran on Friday said it mass launched
ballistic missiles at Israel. According
to the Iranian state-owned television,
the report identified them as Hibbar,
Horamshar 4, and Fata. Iran said the
launch marks wave 22 of Operation True
Promise 4.
On Thursday, the Israeli military said
its air force carried out 2500 strikes
and dropped over 6,000 munitions on
Iran.

Explosive-laden drones targeted key locations in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, escalating fears that the widening Iran conflict is spilling into new territory. An attack drone struck near the Erbil Arjaan by Rotana in Erbil, though air defenses successfully intercepted it before impact. The attempted strike came hours after the United States Embassy Baghdad warned that Iran-aligned militias could target locations frequented by foreigners. Security forces say coalition air defenses shot down four explosive drones over Erbil, while two others attempted to hit a United States Military base near the airport. Another drone targeted the headquarters of an Iranian Kurdish opposition group. Meanwhile in southern Basra, drones struck the Burjesia oil complex, triggering fires at facilities linked to Halliburton and KBR.
