HUGE ESCALATION! Saudi Drops Nuclear Hint As MBS Unleashes Counter-Offensive; Nuke Ally 'SUMMONED' Times Of India Mar 6, 2026 #saudiarabia #iranwar #pakistan
Saudi Arabia said its air defenses intercepted multiple drones and a ballistic missile targeting key installations across the kingdom. According to the Saudi Ministry of Defense, five drones were shot down before reaching their targets, including four intercepted over the Rub' al Khali while heading toward the strategic Shaybah Oil Field, one of Saudi Arabia’s major energy hubs. In a separate incident, Saudi forces destroyed a ballistic missile aimed at Prince Sultan Air Base, a key military installation near Riyadh, while another drone was intercepted east of the capital. Amid the escalating situation, Khalid bin Salman Al Saud, Saudi Arabia’s Defence Minister, met with Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff of the Pakistan Army, to discuss what Riyadh described as Iranian aggression against the kingdom.
Transcript
Saudi Arabia has dropped a major nuclear hint while battling missiles and drones. In further escalation, Saudi Arabia invoked its defense agreement with nuclear armed Pakistan [music] to counter the ongoing attacks. This as several drones and a missile were launched towards Saudi Arabia. The defense ministry said [music] it intercepted five drones launched towards vital installations. Immediately, the kingdom's air defenses sprang into action and destroyed the drones in midair. Four of those drones were intercepted over the vast Rob alcali, also known as the empty quarter as they [music] flew toward the strategic Sheaba oil field in southern Saudi Arabia. The Shea oil field is one of the kingdom's major energy hubs, making it a high value target in the escalating regional conflict. One was downed near Riad. In a separate incident, Saudi forces also intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile [music] launched toward Prince Sultan air base, a key military installation southeast of Riyad. The Saudi Defense Ministry did not disclose who launched the drones and missile, but the incidents come amid rising tensions and a surge in missile and drone attacks across [music] the Middle East. The Gulf States have been dragged into the conflict after the US and Israel launched attacks against Iran, prompting fierce retaliation from Thran against Washington's regional allies hosting American bases and assets. Meanwhile, amid rising tensions, [music] Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are stepping up highlevel military consultations. Saudi Defense Minister Khaled bin Salman al-Sad met with Pakistan's chief of army staff [music] Aim Munir. They discussed what Riyad described as Iranian aggression against the kingdom. The Saudi Defense Ministry said the talks were held within the framework of the [music] strategic defense agreement between the two brotherly countries. The ministry added that both sides expressed their hope that the Iranian side would prevail with wisdom and the voice of reason and stay away from misguided calculations. Remember Pakistan [music] and Saudi Arabia signed a strategic mutual defense agreement in [music] September 2025 committing to a NATO style pact where any aggression against one nation [music] is considered an attack on both. However, Pakistan has so far stayed out of [music] the conflict despite Iran's repeated attacks on vital installations in Saudi Arabia. While Riad too hasn't intervened militarily in PAC Afghan conflict, the conflict in the Middle East has widened after the US and Israel carried out major strikes against Iran that killed the country's supreme leader [music] Ayatollah Ali Kamini. In Pakistan, hundreds of protesters stormed the US consulates while at least 26 people were killed as protesters clashed in firing by US Marines and security forces. 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 Tasnim, the new wave began Friday afternoon under the code name Yah Hussein Iben 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 Horamshar 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 bays 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. [music] 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 [music] 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 [music] 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 [music] included Defense Minister Israel Katz, Foreign Minister Gideon Sar, Finance Minister Bezel Smootrich, and National Security Minister Itar Bengir. Iran on Friday said it mass launched ballistic missiles at Israel. [music] 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. Uh, our Air Force pilots have conducted 2,500 strikes, dropping over 6,000 munitions. In just 24 hours, our pilots cleared the path to Thran. We destroyed about 80% of their air defense systems. We've gained almost total air superiority over Iran's skies. We neutralized and destroyed over 60% of the ballistic missile launchers. A most significant achievement, reducing harm to the home front and saving many lives. This is an ongoing effort, but I emphasize the threat has not yet been removed. Every missile is deadly and poses a danger. Upon the successful completion of the initial surprising opening strike phase, during which we successfully establish complete air superiority and effectively neutralize their entire ballistic missile array, we are now transitioning to the subsequent phase of this ongoing campaign. In this next stage, we will significantly intensify our targeting of the regime's core foundations and its overall military capabilities. We possess further unexpected strategic maneuvers which I do not intend to disclose at this particular moment. We will pursue our enemies, every single one, and we will overtake them. Oh, there will be no more equations. We will continue to operate to protect the safety and security of the residents of the north. We will work tirelessly to remove this persistent threat and we will not relent in our efforts to disarm Hezbollah. On Thursday, Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps had claimed it fired the advanced Horamsh 4 ballistic missiles towards the Bengurian airport. Iran has leveled its fury [music] at the very heart of Israel. In a bold unprecedented escalation, [music] Thrron says it unleashed advanced Koramshar 4 ballistic [music] missiles toward Bengurian International Airport, the gateway to Tel Aviv and the nearby Israeli Air Force [music] base. According to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, the [music] strikes aimed straight at the city skies at dawn. A message thunderous and clear. [music] This conflict will not be contained and no target [music] is off limits. As missiles streak across borders, the world watches and waits for what comes next. [music]
'DIRECT HIT': Iran's Cruise Missile Bombards US Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln In Stunning Strike? Times Of India Mar 6, 2026 #iranusconflict #ussabrahamlincoln #irgc
Iranian media released footage claiming to show anti-ship cruise missiles launched toward the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). The video reportedly shows missiles fired from Iran’s coastline streaking across the waters toward the 100,000-ton nuclear-powered carrier operated by the United States Navy. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy claimed the strike occurred near the Strait of Hormuz as the carrier approached from the Gulf of Oman, alleging the warship was targeted about 340 km from Iran’s maritime borders. However, Tehran has not provided verifiable proof of the claim. Meanwhile, United States Central Command released images showing the carrier operating at sea, pushing back against Iranian claims that the vessel had been struck or sunk.

In a stunning development, Iran released footage of a missile launch that allegedly hit the United States aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on March 5th. The footage showed anti-ship cruise missiles being launched from the Iranian coastline toward the 100,000 ton nuclearpowered aircraft carrier of the US Navy. The footage shows multiple missiles launching from coastal batteries streaking over the waters and across the sky. The release of the footage appears aimed at sending a message to Washington as tensions between Iran and the US continue to intensify. However, the video's authenticity is not yet verified. On March 5th, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Corps Navy claimed that it struck USS Abraham Lincoln near the straight of Hormuz as it approached the area from the Gulf of Oman. A spokesperson for the Cotm Alania central headquarters quoted by Tehran Times said the aircraft carrier was targeted by missiles while it was operating 340 km from Iran's maritime borders. However, Iran has presented no evidence to support its claims. Military analysts say anti-ship cruise missiles are designed to fly low over the sea, making them difficult for radar systems to detect and intercept. The United States Navy carrier strike group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln, CVN72, is a key pillar of Washington's military presence in the region. Aircraft carriers act as floating air bases capable of launching dozens of fighter jets and projecting power across thousands of kilometers. Meanwhile, the US Central Command Sentcom released images of USS Abraham Lincoln operating in the seas, rejecting the Iranian charge that it sank the warship. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC, claimed to have launched an attack on the United States aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln amid ongoing fighting in Iran. According to Press TV, the IRGC Navy allegedly targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln near Iranian territorial waters using advanced domestically produced drones. However, neither the IRGC nor Press TV shared any footage to substantiate the attack claim. A spokesperson for the Katum Alania central headquarters said the attack forced the American strike group to retreat. The sententcom has not confirmed any such development. The alleged attack took place on March 4th when the 100,000 ton carrier was intercepted approximately 340 km from Iran's maritime borders in the Sea of Oman. Press TV reported the Iranians claimed that following the impact, the USS Abraham Lincoln and its accompanying destroyers fled the engagement zone at high speed. The IRGC spokesperson said the carrier group has since retreated over 1,000 km away from the region, claiming the US military presence failed to achieve its intimidation objective. Notably, Pentagon has not yet commented if the Mammoth carrier was forced to retreat or the extent of the damage to the carrier. Last week, the IRGC claimed that it had targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln with four ballistic missiles. The United States Navy's aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln deployed near Iran was hit by the Iranian Navy's missiles. The state media reported on Thursday. The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier was struck by drones of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy. A spokesperson for the Katum Alania central headquarters told Press TV, "The USS Abraham Lincoln hosts multiple squadrons of fighter aircraft, including F-35 Lightning 2 fighter jets and FA8 Super Hornet fighter jets. The USS Abraham Lincoln along with three guided missile destroyers had been in the Arabian Sea since the end of January after being redirected from the South China Sea. The Iranian military's claim of a strike targeting the US aircraft comes days after an American submarine sank an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka's Navy recovered 87 bodies and rescued 32 Iranian sailors from the IRS Dena, which sank in international waters off the coast of the island nation, a rare instance of a submarine torpedoing a ship since World War II. Earlier in the day, the Iranian military claimed that the naval missiles hit an American oil tanker in the Persian Gulf, triggering fire in the vessel. The assault on commercial shipping in Gulf waters showed no signs of letting up as the US Iran conflict entered its fifth day with more vessels coming under attack. A Bahamas registered crude oil tanker became the latest victim after an explosive laden remotecont controlled boat believed to have been deployed by Iranian forces rammed into the vessel while it was anchored in the vicinity of Iraq's Hor al- Zubair port. In addition, a second tanker anchored off the Kuwaiti coast suffered a massive explosion on its port side, causing the ship to take on water and leak oil into surrounding Gulf waters. The two incidents bring the total number of vessels targeted to nine since clashes broke out between the United States, Israel, and Iran on Saturday, which has sent shock waves through global shipping and energy markets. The toll on regional shipping has been severe. Tracking data from the Marine Traffic Platform estimated that roughly 200 vessels, including oil tankers, liqufied natural gas carriers, and cargo ships, remained stranded at anchor in open Gulf waters, unwilling or unable to move. Hundreds more sat waiting outside the straight of Hormuz, the narrow but critical choke point through which approximately 1ifth of the world's oil and LNG supply passes, unable to reach their destination ports. The disruption to energy flows has had an immediate and sharp impact on commodity markets. Oil prices climbed a further 3% on Thursday alone, extending a rally that has now pushed crude prices more than 14% higher since the conflict began. A staggering rise driven by fears of prolonged supply disruption from one of the world's most energy critical regions. Reportedly, the targeting of Gulf countries and disruption of energy markets was part of a plan devised by the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Kane.
Iran strikes back after Israel, US launch war, with Jon Elmer The Electronic Intifada Mar 5, 2026 #TheElectronicIntifada #TheElectronicIntifadaPodcast

Transcript
You are watching and listening to the electronic atifada. I am John Elmer. This is the resistance report for day 881 of Israel's genocide in Gaza and day six of USIsraeli war on Iran. I am reporting this on the afternoon of Thursday, March 5th. Things are moving quickly, so uh keep that in mind. We'll um we're going to cover the first five days of this war. And let's start with the maps off the top as we usually do. And uh this complements what Ally was talking about about the straight of Hormuz. Um you got the choke point of uh global energy 20% coming out from Qatar and um 20% of the oil uh natural gas from Qatar and 20% of the oil uh that the world uses comes through that straight. Alli covered that uh really well. Just one thing that I'll add to that as a commander of the naval force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said uh yesterday that the United States cannot escort ships out of the Straight of Hormuz. Trump cannot send his fleet to extract those stuck in the Gulf or open the Straight of Hormuz. Trump says, "We will escort the ships if necessary. Now is the time for necessity, Mr. Trump, so come and escort your ships." Of course, that puts them uh well within range of short-range ballistic missiles, anti-ship missiles. Um and so the Iranians are taunting the Americans to actually escort those ships. That would be a massive undertaking for the Americans and they do not have the warships in the area right now to do that. So it would involve another buildup. Um so for now, I think the uh energy markets are going to spike for sure. And we look at the next one, we can see these bases. These are are the main targets uh of this battle. Um each of these countries uh moving from the shores of Iran out. Um the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan um and of course Israel uh are the main thrusts of it. The US has said that it has dropped 2,000 bombs in the first 30 hours of this war. 1,000 um were in the first 13 hours of the war. Um they've struck more than 2,000 targets. Um the Israeli Air Force said this morning that they've dropped over 5,000 bombs in strikes. The Iranians say 500 ballistic missiles and more than 2,000 drones have been launched. Uh Hegathth the uh defense secretary uh outlined the mission. He said the mission of Epic Fury is laser focused. Destroy Iranian offensive missiles. Destroy Iranian missile production. destroy the navy and other security infrastructure. So, this is a regime change operation. Um, and as Alli pointed out, Trump has 47 years of grievances uh against Iran uh that they're using to justify this uh uh regime change. If we look at the next map, you can see the bases uh that have been targeted. Um, and these are the key bases uh in the UAE. Um the key bases there aloud in Kuwait is the sententcom uh main air base and then beside it there in Bahrain is the fifth fleet which is the naval command for um the entire region. Sentcom covers basically everything that you see in that map and a little bit more um but you can see also targeting in Kuwait. There's a significant um force in Kuwait. The numbers in between Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar are more than 40,000 American troops in those bases. But the number of military bases and installations that have been targeted by the Iranians are in the dozens. They've also hit diplomatic and strategic facilities like embassies, CIA stations are all in those embassies. And the CIA um said this week that they are um evacuating all of their CIA offices that are in um usually they're in the embassies um particularly because the one in Riad Saudi Arabia was hit and Saudi Arabia also hosts that key air base Prince Sultan air base um that you see down in the south there and in Jordan Muafa Galalti air base that hosts the American Expeditionary Wing and we saw in my report last week about the buildup that the US is concentrating their forces on that air base rather than having them all spread out. So the uh air defense tactic is to concentrate their troops on uh a few of the bases and then use the carriers that are out uh the carrier that is in the Mediterranean um and its guided missile destroyers um as basically air defense for Israel. Um if we look at the next map again, you can see the targets um all around. Those are both sides targets as of yesterday. Um and you can see just how close those Gulf uh the Gulf states are and the American bases are to Iran. And that is a huge advantage in weaponry. They do not need their long range ballistic missiles. They can use shorter range um ballistic missiles. And that's the same for traveling the straight of Hormuz. they can pull out um anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles to hit from close range. Those are devastating weapons at that range. And um the Americans don't want any part of that. They haven't wanted that in the in the Yemen front as well. They keep their carriers uh as far out of distance as they can. Um out of distance at least of the short range. Um so they're off in the Arabian Sea there down in the bottom right of the map. And the um other carrier, the USS Ford, is up uh off the coast of uh Israel. It's out in the Mediterranean. It's not in Israel. There was a lot of misreporting that it was coming into dock in Israel, but it is staying offshore. Again, Hezbollah has anti-hship capabilities as well uh on the Lebanon coast that you can see there up in the upper left of that map. Um so really is a regional war and these maps show that as clear as day. Um the next slide here, we're going to start with um the school massacre because of course this is the way Israel uh fights its wars and the Americans do too. Um the massacre at this school that was sort of captured I think with this photo here that we're looking at a backpack with a child's blood on it. Um 168 school girls aged 7 to 12 were killed along with 15 of their teachers. There was two strikes on the school in southeast Iran. uh in the town of Minab. Uh six buildings including the school and the clinic were destroyed. Um we can see on the next slide here um just the totality of this horror. Um these are the graves for the children being dug. And as they always say in in Gaza, the smallest coffins are always the heaviest. And you can see that um with those small um graves there that we're looking at a row row upon row of graves to bury um more including the teachers more than 175 uh people and one more um like this will show you the funeral on that day. And then the the funeral on that day despite Trump saying don't go outside your house. It's scary. There's bombs falling. You don't want to be out there. there was a massive funeral demonstration uh for these school girls um showing just um you know the kind of resolve that I don't think the Americans uh expected in this war um but the street scenes of those um funeral marches were incredible uh under the scale of bombing that's happening um you know 7,000 bombs according to the US and Israelis at minimum um and there was thousands tens of thousands of people out on the streets for those uh mourning that funeral. Um we'll take a look at the next slide. Um because the war began with these two strikes, the strike on the school and then the strike on the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Ham. Um and he was killed uh at a meeting. So the key to the way the war started is it started on the first day of the work week in Iran and it started at 9:30 in the morning. So when people were all out in the streets and people were meeting in uh in their offices in the National Security Council in Iran um and they uh Americans and Israelis uh managed to kill in that assassination not just Ayatollah Ali Ham but also the commander and chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, the minister of defense, the head of the military council, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps aerospace force um as well as the deputy the intelligence minister in that um again peridi by the uh Israelis because the Iranians believed that they were still in negotiations after the last round of negotiations just last week. Um negotiations were supposed to continue and they had plans to meet again. Um and so again Iran trusting its enemy um to be honorable which we know from two and a half years of war with Israel uh is not the case. This is a poster you're looking at here that was put out by the PFLP's Abu Ali Mustapa brigades. Um that's uh that calls uh Ham a martyr on the road to alkuds and Palestine and also the Kasam brigade spoke uh about um the martyed leader and this is what they said. The martyed leader Ali Ham represented the primary supporter of the axis of resistance Palestine and its fighters. Indeed, all the Islamic Republic has provided for decades in terms of support and backing for our people and our resistance, at the heart of which are the Alcasam brigades, was by his direct decision and under his full patronage. This great support and backing for the path of resistance constituted an essential and important factor that contributed to the development of the resistance and its tactics leading to the great creativity it displayed in al ax flood and the legendary steadfastness for two full years in the face of the most powerful forces of injustice in the region. So saluted by all of the Palestinian resistance factions. Of course, people who've watched this show know that would be an obvious thing that would happen from all of the factions from the leftists um all the way across the political spectrum of uh of the resistance groups. Um we can see next here uh a promo that was put out by Kmeni uh Ham's office of preservation and publication uh for the works of Ali Ham and they put out this uh missile and drone launch that you can see and he says here we are not the initiators of war. However, anyone who shows their greed and seeks to attack or cause harm will face a decisive blow from the Iranian nation. And here we're seeing uh buried missile silos uh racks of shahid drones and then attacks here uh on the uh various installations of the Americans in the region. I will go through these operations one by one. Uh but we're seeing them now hits in Kuwait, Bahrain, uh Qatar, Jordan, uh across the region. Um Ali Larjani, the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, the top security figure right now in Iran, said, "As in the past 300 years, Iran did not start this war, and our braved armed forces are not engaged in any attack except for defense. We will fiercely defend ourselves and our 6,000-year-old civilization, regardless of the costs, and we will make the enemy regret their miscalculations." Iran unlike the United States is prepared for a long war. Also just to note uh Ali Ham had a fatwa against nuclear weapons for many many years decades even uh and him saying that was in the preamble preamble of the JCPOA. So um again putting lie to the American propaganda um as always but we just uh cover it here. Uh so we'll go to number 10 here. Um we'll show map of the missile range here. Um from their short range uh missiles uh all the way to their more sophisticated high-end long range uh solid fuel uh and advanced missiles down at the bottom which um according to the IRGC have not been used yet. They um they said they have been saving them and using old stock. But you can see with the concentric rings going out from 300 kilometers out to 2,000 km that they have missiles for every purpose in this uh in this war for each distance for each um uh for each outcome. So a significant missile force that has been built up um over more than a generation um and is being put into use uh today. The next map is another one um showing their missiles again with a map that you can see the distance all of it well within range um and they're also within range of drones which they have been using significantly and we saw that in the previous three uh Iranian exchanges of fire um true promise one 2 and three and this is true promise 4 that we are in right now. If you look at the next slide, you can see some uh launches from underground missile bases. And again, this is this the the key because the Israelis and the Americans have been showing us lots of footage of uh launchers being knocked out um because lots of them are truck launches and they're e they're easier to track once they have been launched. Um but when you see these kind of underground facilities, these are very difficult for Israel to get. They don't know where they are. Unlike um the nuclear facilities where they knew where they were um and had previous interactions with the United Nations inspectors and whatnot, these missile bases are um are not known to the Israelis. There's the Shahed drones. Um there's their longer range uh fuel uh liquid fuel missiles. Um and you saw a bunch of launches of solid fuel missiles as well. Solid fuel missiles are uh a lot better because you don't have to load them. You don't have to load the fuel. You don't have to have workers out there uh exposed while you're loading. Um and so the solid fuel advanced missiles, which is what we will be seeing in the coming days um and weeks are um a preferable on the battle space. And these are all being uh you know these are missiles that cost maybe you know high hundreds of thousands early millions um early 1 millions uh to co to to make and the uh interceptors that are knocking them down um that are not uh built as fast uh are in the 3 million to 27 million range. Um, so there is a a massive discrepancy in the outlay of costs in this war, which will also over time uh be a damning factor for um for the US and its stocks. We won't get into too much of that on this show right now because the first week of the war, we don't need to worry too much about missile stockpiles and interceptor stockpiles, but I've talked about it on this show a number of times when we were covering Yemen. Um that the uh the missile math is not um uh it's very finite. Uh the uh interceptors are expensive. Um the military um buildup for this war was very fast. It wasn't planned. Um so they didn't have chance to um you know increase domestic production which is something that almost can't really happen in the US the way the economy um is shaped and this particularly the military-industrial complex is shaped. So these things will all be significant as the days go on. Iranians, 500 ballistic missiles, 2,000 drones, and IRGC said 40% have been aimed at Israel and 60% at US bases and consulates throughout the region. Um, we will go to 13 now, I think. Yes. Yes. Okay. So, here's some strikes on Israel. Again, there's massive censorship in Israel. We're watching um this is a news broadcaster that we've seen footage come from before. Obviously, one of the producers is sneaking this footage out. Um but we have seen off this um uh off this balcony a number of shots and uh for people uh listening um we're watching the streaks in the sky and the massive blast hitting Tel Aviv. And of course they tell you in Tel Aviv that these uh aren't landing and that they have 100% interception rates. In fact, the next video that is uh going to come in this series. Yeah. This one here from NBC. They're on the air talking about how uh the Iron Dome gets all the rockets and gets all the missiles. Um and then this one comes right in right while they're talking. I cut their talking out for the same reason Alli cut uh Netanyahu because you don't need to hear it. But uh they don't know what they're talking about. They're talking about the wrong um uh air defense systems. But as they were bragging about how good they were, a missile came right down uh and smacked and then they had to talk about that missile and try and figure out what what was going on. Um and you can see the uh on the ground the censorship in Israel has been remarkable. Um the threat of jail time will do it I guess for people. Also, there's a nationalistic element in it that they don't want to be I I I assume that there's a nationalistic element of not wanting to be um shown to be humiliated uh in front of the world. But for whatever it is, the number of videos coming out from Israel compared to the 12-day war um which itself was uh covered in shrouded in censorship um is even less this time around. This next slide is going to have audio in it. Oh yeah, feel you. So that's from uh on the ground in Israel. These are all targeting of Israel at the beginning. What you heard was cheering from children in Gaza. Uh and you can note that throughout uh this report that each of the countries um have the missiles falling on them ostensibly are cheering those missiles. We'll see that again when we cut to Bahrain. Um I think we have uh audio in the next slide as well. We also have a siren. So um be aware that there's going to be a siren. that this is the sound of what uh the war sounds like in Beersa in southern Israel. Yo yo What? So this was from Monday. Um it was the 11th wave of Operation True Promise. The IRGC is releasing um their field reports in waves um that they talk about and this wave uh included Beer Shva where there's an IDF industrial communications complex in the city and that barrage wave 11 targeted 20 sites across Israel. So spreading out um spreading out the attacks keeping the entire country moving to shelters. Um these are strategies rather than using advanced missiles. um they're using they've been saying they're using their old stock up and um keeping people on the run throughout Israel from the north to the south and that is uh clearly part of the strategy of this. We have again audio in this next slide but we are going to now go to Bahrain. Um so this is the targeting of the fifth fleet the US naval command uh in Manama Bahrain number 16. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Okay. What the [ __ ] Shelter immediately. Shelter immediately. Shelter in place. So, as you can see, the Bahrainis don't seem to have much problem with uh the US bases being targeted. Of course, in each of these countries, there's movements to get rid of these bases um that are stamped out by um by the uh royal families that uh run these countries as their own personal thiefs. Um so that is Bahrain, fifth fleet. This is a critical uh critical site for the Americans. Overseeing the entire region between the fifth fleet and Aluduade air base in Qatar uh forms the real uh the real core of the US presence in the region. We got audio in the next one. Again this is again the fifth fleet. So the same things you hear uh in Gaza in Bahrain as well. Um and this next one also has audio in. This is the targeting of hotels. And let me just say before we show this um that this is the targeting of hotels of US troops. The IRGC said the flight of cowardly US soldiers from regional bases, they're taking refuge in hotels in host countries and their criminal army's use of civilian facilities in the Persian Gulf countries as cover do not escape the intelligence monitoring of the IRGC. So, we'll take a look at 18. And you can actually hear that on the first one I showed you three back when the when they were in the car. That's American soldiers in the car. Uh in many cases, these videos are coming from American soldiers while they're in their hotels. And that's why you're hearing people speaking English like that. uh and in that car while they were being shocked. Um so that was 18. We have a lot of media today. So thanks tomorrow for working through this all with me. So this is the burning of those facilities after. Again, they've been targeted numerous times. Um but this is what you see when you drive by on the highway of the uh fifth fleet. And there's times where um people wouldn't have thought this was possible to see this. Um these bases have been built particularly they were built for um they started in uh in the Gulf War in the first Gulf War in the 1990s but of course the post 911 war on terror expanded these bases considerably um and they were not popular locally. Um so that's 19. And just to give you a sense of how the IRGC writes up their um uh field reports like we we we've described the Cassam Brigades doing. So this is how the IRGC does it. They say the 18th wave of Operation True Promise 4 has begun. We remind the arrogant enemy the movements of American soldiers in Qatar and Bahrain and their use of non-military facilities in Persian Gulf countries are not hidden from us. No amount of air defense systems will help you. Um, so that's how that was announced before those drones were launched. So it's almost like an early warning. Um, but effectively telling exactly what is being hit. And I think we'll see that in these next few uh is this 20? Okay, this is the continued burning. So th those two uh 19 and 20 go together with these burnings of these facilities that we're seeing um that the uh that the US is saying they're intercepting or Bahrain is saying they're intercepting all of these and they're just clearly not um we will see with the next slide um satellite imagery. Um you can see the base. We're seeing the base there and then before and after of the base clearly showing um a headquarters that was hit in this base. Two satellite communications terminals were destroyed. Several large buildings at the base were also destroyed and extensively damaged. The New York Times said this is New York Times satellite analysis. Um and you can clearly see the damage. So these are pinpoint strikes and that's the thing is about the drones. They um you can you could make them pinpoint. That's that's what they do. they hit uh right where they're supposed to go. Um GPS tracked or uh to get them exactly on their topic or Russian in in a lot of cases Russian GPS is being used. Um so you can see the destruction there. Um and the next one you can see um aloud air base again satellite communications. These are the two key bases to repeat. And so when you're knocking out the satellite communications at these bases, you're knocking down the capacity for the network connectivity that the entire American um missile defense program and defense in general runs on. So clearly the first targets of this war were those uh satellite and terminal um and satellite terminals and communication terminals. Um again we saw that with the early days of the Hezbollah um joining the war after October 7th knocking out Israel's network connectivity. Um these are very standard and important first day of war um attacks. And just to give you a sense the UAE says that they have endured more than 800 drones and 186 uh ballistic missiles. So with more than a thousand targeting just the UAE um itself and it has a major US air base uh there too. Although air base um in Qatar they say uh 100 ballistic missiles, three cruise missiles, 24 drones. Um Kuwait was 180 ballistic missiles, four 400 drones. uh 100 uh missiles in Bahrain and 76 drones and dozens in Saudi Arabia which we will see in these next two slides. This is the Prince Sultan Saudi air base. Uh oh, that's another Al- Udade. And yeah, here's the um the Prince uh Sultan. So, this is Aludade. We'll go to the next one. Um that shows more destruction uh of those satellite um terminals. This is the Prince Sultan base that you can see again structural damage. Um large plumes of smoke coming up from them. So direct hits on these bases. Um 26. We're going to take a look at Jordan. Now this is the key um US expeditionary base. Um Mafak Alsalti. And you can see there clearly a direct ballistic missile hit uh in on that air base. Uh, and again, people uh, watching that closely. The next one shows you um, a problem that we've seen a number of times, but you can see over to the right there, that's a misfiring interceptor that's just being fired into the Jordanian community uh, along with the shrapnel that uh, from the because the drones are mostly shot out of the sky using fighter jets and helicopters. So, they blast them out of the sky and the pieces fall all over Jordan. Um, and that's part of the deal, I guess, with the king. Um, and again, at this air base, it's key because this is a concentration of US forces on top of the expeditionary airwing that's already based at that base in Jordan. Um, I showed you the map um the the satellite imagery of uh that base um in Jordan in last week's show and there wasn't enough room for any more airplanes. It was all uh bristling with fighter jets. So when these get it's it's one thing to concentrate your defenses uh but when your defenses are concentrated and something gets through um it's going to be a a big mess. So um they are expending extraordinary amounts of interceptors to try to prevent that from happening. This next one uh 28 this is going to have audio in as well. Um, this is a strike on a US base in Kuwait. And you can hear the US soldiers commenting uh on the strike here in this one. That's my [ __ ] truck. So, I think it's a joke cuz he's looking at a bunch of M wraps there, but the the soldier says that's my truck. Um and these uh there has been six US soldiers killed on these bases in these attacks. These are the only um casualties that the Americans have admitted to. Drop site has done some reporting that um that they believe the number is um being suppressed significantly. Um but we will have to see in the coming days um when the honesty of casualties comes out because we're particularly not hearing about wounded soldiers. Um and also just to to say those drone strikes that were hitting um the uh the city the um that were hitting those hotels um those are not killing um locals. The number of locals killed um in each of these countries is in the single digits um throughout this war. And we're not clear who they are. Um if they're on the base, if they're base workers, all of that stuff is still all fuzzy at this point. Um but we will keep track of that of course. And the next uh slide you could see the significant damage at uh the Ali al-Salm um base in Kuwait. You can see again satellite dishes, radar domes, um all the specific targets um of those. So they're taking drones um precision drones that are about uh I mean they're basically the the the price of your car. They go the speed of your car. They're roughly the size of your car. That's a good way to understand them. Um, but they're very accurate with their with their strikes. And so they're using the drones to flood the air defenses, uh, waste air defenses, but also to get in and knock out these cris uh these critical nodes of the air defense system. Um, and then 30, I think we can see uh the embassy here in Kuwait uh on fire. The embassies have all been evacuated. Um, but also the CIA bases attached to the embassies have also been evacuated because they were hit in Riad the other day and the CIA announced that everybody uh was to evacuate. Now, for this next one, we're going to have audio in here because we're this is the um the shooting down of three uh US F-15s that were downed by um apparently Kuwaiti friendly fire. um all three of them right in a row here. Um and we're going to watch each one of them. These are F um F-15 E strike eagles falling from the sky. You could see the ejection of the pilots there. According to Sencom, all six pilots survived. Um when they reached the ground, they were treated um all were treated well by uh the population when they landed. You can see the ejection from that one as well. So, three uh three more lost fighter jets. We know they lost three during the Yemen um uh battles as well. And the key to this is not just that it's an accident that happens. The key is that it's during active combat. It's when missile drone uh combo attacks are happening, layered attacks are happening incoming um that creates the confusion um that creates the friendly fire or in the case of Yemen where the um aircraft carrier had to do a sharp turn and therefore lost the plane overboard. But that's not just happening in a vacuum. It's happening in the moment of a complex strike that's happening directly on these forces. So, um, they are friendly fire, but they're, uh, very much, um, a forced error, if we can use a tennis term there. Um, so there was also reporting today. I won't get into that, but there may have been a fourth uh, fighter jet, American fighter jet shot down uh, in Iran. There's early reporting about that. Um, we'll have to wait to confirm all of that. And all of this stuff takes a lot to confirm because as I'm sure people watching know there has been a lot of misinformation, disinformation, um purposeful uh misguidance of what's going on uh as part of the propaganda campaign uh happening here. Let's take a look at Dubai now. Um 32. Um this is IRGC. I think we have audio in this one as well for 32. So that was the US embassulate in Dub uh in Dubai. I believe that it was a consulate um not an embassy but an emptied one. Um and again Alli talked about these countries as brands. um these kind of attacks uh definitely take the shine off of that. Um you'll see one more angle of it here coming up. Right now we're watching uh street level view of uh panicked people and there's the burning uh consulate shown from people driving down the highway. Um and then the next slide you can see that the um the uh Ministry of Defense of the UAE has been putting these out. They say they have detected 186 ballistic missiles launched towards them. They say they have intercepted 172 of them. Not sure how um not sure how good these stats are, but they're putting them out. And it's interesting for at least what they are seeing coming at them. You're talking about eight cruise missiles and 812 uh Shahed drones fired at them. So more than a thousand uh projectiles fired at the UAE alone. um in this case. So significant focus on the UAE uh as well. Um now let's take a look at some of the drones. Um the uh the drones uh the IRGC aerospace force has downed a number of drones. I attempted to do a count of them because to see if we could match them up. Um but we have footage like this footage clearly here of an Israeli Hermes 900. There's an Elbit drone. One less Elbit drone. Here comes another uh Elbit drone blasted out of the sky. And then there's a third one here that's an Israel Aerospace Industries Haron drone that you can tell um the difference between them because of the um the back wing that you'll see. Um so these are being knocked out of the sky every day in Iran. We see footage of them on the ground. We've seen some of this footage from the missile cam. That's what you're seeing here. These look a lot like uh the weapon that was used in Yemen. Uh it's not totally clear, but um it seems to be the same the 358 that the Amenes were using to um to down a couple of dozen uh MQ9 Reapers. So far, these are all uh Israeli drones that we've seen drop. Um although the Iraqi resistance uh reported that they got a um an MQ9 Reaper. If they did, I'm sure we will be seeing that um in due time. Um the Iranians and number 35 has two two more drones coming out of the sky. Um you can see them dropping here again. It's a Hermes uh falling out of the sky and then there's going to be a number another one on the ground. And we've seen at least we've seen more than a dozen for sure separate uh drops. The Iranians uh the Iranian army is also doing air defense. They do an integrated air defense with the IRGC. Um and they put their number of drones downed um in the many dozens um something like 30 through these days. Um but difficult to verify because we don't have footage of all of them. Um the Ansar Allah movement always gave us footage uh to match uh their uh their claims. So we uh we'll see we'll see if this uh reporting uh crystallizes more in the coming weeks. But you can see it that drop down again over a city um in um southern Iran. And then there's this is the the Hermes 900. This appears to have been taken down by electronic warfare because it is perfectly more or less perfectly intact. Um and the uh IRGC said that um that it was under the control of the fighters of the aerospace force of the IRGC. And there you can see um its bomb load um out uh loaded out hadn't used them yet uh on this particular drone, but uh definitely not seeing this on news that I'm watching. So, um, I thought I'd bring you this, uh, angle as I always do. Um, and then this, this was an interesting story cuz the US has actually cloned the Shahed drone and have their own and they announced number 36 here. They announced their own um, the launch historic first. They they said this was uh, um, this was on day two that they uh, it says we're looking at a Sentcom uh, tweet press release. It says, "Sencom's task force Scorpion strike for the first time in history is using one-way attack drones in combat during Operation Epic Fury. These lowcost drones modeled after Iran's Shahed drones are now delivering Americanmade retribution." So again, uh blustery American uh military uh announcements followed by Let's take a look at the next clip. Uh it only took uh some few hours before the Iraqis were picking apart uh one of these Lucas drones, lowcost um drones that look exactly like the Iranian drones and are run on Starlink. You can see the Starlink um satellite dangling off there. So that that was less than 24 hours turnaround from them boasting about retribution to uh Iraqis in the desert laughing and and having fun with the drone trying to decide what to do if it can fit in their pickup truck or not. Um sort of like the footage we used to see in Yemen when the drones would down. So that's a remarkable little turnaround there for uh their copycat drones. And now Hezbollah joined the war. I think Hezbollah joined the war this week, but the war was going to join Hezbollah. So, I think that they got out in front of it. Um, there hasn't been a ceasefire. The ceasefire has been in many ways more fraudulent in Lebanon than it is in Gaza even, which is hard to say because it's been brutal in Gaza. Um, but in Lebanon, the number of violations is in the tens of thousands. And the number of Hezbollah commanders, operatives, soldiers killed is more than 500. There's daily strikes. Um, and this war was not going to let uh Israel was not going to let Isra was not going to let Hezbollah be on the sidelines of this war. So, Hezbollah joined the war um two days ago and immediately we get clips like this. number 38. We see a mark of a tank there in the distance. And again, this is in um this is at the top of the Galilee panhandle. Um and that's a Cornet anti-tank guided missile that's going to be launched and a direct hit you're going to see as it spools its way on target. Um this is a remarkable shot, multiple kilometer shot. Um I didn't do the calculation myself but um I saw a calculation from a source that said that this was 5 kilometers um which would make sense and again this is an area that Hezbollah is not supposed to be let alone their uh clearly that they the first shot was clearly by their anti-tank marksmen because that is a long-distance shot and it hit perfectly. The Israelis have rec uh said that there has been uh several injuries inside tanks that have been hit by um anti-tank guided missiles. So Hezbollah is back 36 operations in the first two days and they're on their way to that total again today. Um and of course the um the Islamic res Hezbollah said in this um on this post uh of this video they said that um of the field report they said the Islamic resistance is committed to defending its land and people especially as the Israeli enemy crosses boundaries within its crime with its crimes. It is its response targeted military sites unlike the enemy which targets civilians. So Hezbollah is saying we target military sites. Um and they have rocket um and drone attacks um on you on Israeli bases all across um the the front line which now includes Syria because the Israelis are occupying Syria now as well. So they were targeted there by Hezbollah as well. And number 39 we're going to see the Iraqi resistance has been uh this is an underground missile base. You can see Nasraa Kasamsulammani. Um you can see their missiles and in their underground um in their underground bunkers as well. And the Iraqi resistance joined immediately. They didn't need uh any prompting. They joined the war in the first minutes of the war and began uh hammering the American air base at Airbil in northern Iraq. Um as well as the uh uh the two other American air bases also. So that's the air bill um airport that you're seeing air base that you're seeing in flames there from the Iraqi resistance. And just one more number 40 um of of all of this after all of this the US sent out this notice this week. Um this is from the state department that says security updates for Americans in the Middle East. Depart now via commercial means due to serious safety risks. and it lists the countries Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. So, essentially the Americans saying, uh, we're too busy, uh, protecting Israel right now to, uh, worry about our, um, our people in the region. we didn't uh we we sprung the war on them so fast that they didn't have reasonable chance to get their families out of the region and they they say to them depart now uh and you're on your own although I did hear yesterday on the news that instead of um just hanging up on people calling the embassies that there's now a recorded message so um just real kind of a last thing to just say that um the the focus is never seems to for the America Firsters on the Americans. Um, that was all a big fraud. So, this has been the resistance report for day six of the war in Iran.
The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, “Thank you President Trump.” I have said, “You’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the “Bully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, “THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Iran just hit Dubai airport as US forces evacuate; 2,000 soldiers trapped - OPTM OPTM Mar 7, 2026
The targeting of Dubai International Airport (DXB) was not random vandalism; it was a strategic masterstroke. You have to understand what Dubai is: it isn't a real city in the traditional sense; it is a leveraged bet on globalization, a mirage in the desert propped up by constant capital inflows and the movement of people.
Before this strike, DXB and its sister airport DWC accounted for roughly 27% of Dubai’s entire GDP. We aren't talking about pocket change. In 2023, the aviation sector in Dubai was valued at over $37 billion, supporting over 630,000 jobs .
That airport is not just a building; it is the heart pumping blood into the veins of every hotel, every shopping mall, and every real estate project in the city. By forcing the suspension of all flights, Iran effectively induced a cardiac arrest in the UAE economy. We are talking about losses mounting at a rate of hundreds of millions of dollars per day.
Cargo is rotting at the tarmac. Perishable goods—food, medicine—are stuck. The ripple effect means that supply chains from Asia to Africa and Europe are severed because the "crossroads of the world" is now a crater.

Welcome back. I posted about two videos today, but we need to talk about what just happened in the Gulf because the world shifted on its axis in the last 24 hours, and most mainstream outlets are too busy reading from a script written in Washington and Tel Aviv to tell you the truth. Today, Iranian drones and missiles struck directly at Dubai International Airport, the busiest airport in the world for international travel, amidst a chaotic scene that reportedly involved US forces attempting to flee the region in civilian clothes. An Iranian drone attacked near the main terminals of Dubai International Airport temporarily suspended operations. Drone that hit the Dubai airport. There was thick smoke that engulfed the skies of Dubai. Chaos erupts at Dubai International Airport. Black smoke fills the skyline. Explosions rock the airport grounds and flights are thrown into disarray. This is not a drill and this is not a conflict happening somewhere far away. This is the sound of American hegemony collapsing and it is happening right in the heart of the United Arab Emirates. While the corporate media wants you to focus on tensions, what we witnessed was a precision strike that sent a message so loud that it rattled windows from the Gulf to Wall Street. Witnesses on the ground at DXV described scenes of pure pandemonium, not just from the explosions, but from the sight of uniformed American personnel stripping off their military gear inside terminal buildings, desperately trying to blend in with crowds of civilians to escape. According to updates on X and corroborated by evacuation reports that even Donald Trump was forced to acknowledge, the United States is currently trying to pull thousands of its soldiers out of the UAE. But here is the kicker that they aren't telling you. Iran has them trapped. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC, has made it crystal clear that the war has not yet even truly begun. And these forces, estimated to be thousands strong, stationed at facilities like Aldafra Air Base, are now sitting ducks. The US thought they could use Emirati soil as a forward operating base to threaten Iran, and they thought they could just bolt when the bill came due. They were wrong. The UAE, which hosts around 5,000 US military personnel, thought their billions in F-35s and Patriot missiles could protect them. But when Iran blindsided their radar systems, taking out critical US-made THAAD batteries in the opening salvos, the safe haven facade evaporated. Now flights are suspended indefinitely. The airport is shut and the US is scrambling to perform a humiliating retreat that looks more like a desperate escape. Before we dive deeper into how this is breaking the back of the Emirati economy and why the reformist babble coming out of Thrron is just noise, I need you to hit that like button and share this video far and wide. We are one of the few outlets left telling you the raw, unvarnished truth without the Pentagon's filter. If you want to support journalism that actually questions the empire and exposes its failures, smash that subscribe button right now. We rely on you to keep this light on because the corporate networks are too busy crying over the destabilization caused by Iran standing up to a genocidal regime. Now, let's get into the meat of this story because the economic bloodbath we are about to witness makes the actual explosions look like firecrackers. The targeting of Dubai International Airport, DXB, was not random vandalism. It was a strategic master stroke. You have to understand what Dubai is. It isn't a real city in the traditional sense. It is a leveraged bet on globalization. A mirage in the desert propped up by constant capital inflows and the movement of people. Before this strike, DXB and its sister airport DWC accounted for roughly 27% of Dubai's entire GDP. We aren't talking about pocket change. In 2023, the aviation sector in Dubai was valued at over $ 37 billion, supporting over 630,000 jobs. That airport is not just a building. It is the heart pumping blood into the veins of every hotel, every shopping mall, and every real estate project in the city. By forcing the suspension of all flights, Iran effectively induced a cardiac arrest in the UAE economy. We are talking about losses mounting at a rate of hundreds of millions of dollars per day. Cargo is rotting at the tarmac. Perishable goods, food, medicine are stuck. The ripple effect means that supply chains from Asia to Africa and Europe are severed because the crossroads of the world is now a crater and the numbers are already painting a terrifying picture of the future. We are watching a classic capital flight event in real time. Reports coming out of Singapore are confirming what we suspected. The wealthy are abandoning the sinking ship. Wealth advisers in Singapore are being flooded with calls from their clients in Dubai. We aren't talking about middle-class families with a savings account. We are talking about family offices moving assets in the range of $50 million per client. One report detailed how two Indian entrepreneurs tried to transfer over $100,000 each from their Dubai accounts to Singapore immediately after the strikes only to be thwarted by technical glitches, which is usually banker speak for a run on the bank. The UAE built its entire post oil model on being a safe haven in a rough neighborhood. They sold the myth of security. In one night, Iran shattered that myth. Real estate, which is the backbone of Dubai's wealth illusion, is about to implode. Why would anyone buy a luxury apartment on the Palm JRO when you can watch an IRGC drone fly past your window? The smart money is already rotating back to Singapore, a real financial hub with actual geopolitical stability, not just zero taxes and flashy nightclubs. The Emirati dream is turning into a nightmare because they hitch their wagon to the American Empire and the empire is dying. Meanwhile, the global energy markets are convulsing. This isn't just about Dubai. It's about the straight of Hormuz. 20% of the world's crude oil passes through that narrow channel. President Trump in his typical bombastic style is tweeting about unconditional surrender and promising to make Iran great again. A level of delusion that is almost impressive. Even his mainstream media are saying he is delusional. You think there are difficult days ahead. U the president is suggesting that he would only s uh accept unconditional surrender in his words to a reporter. Um so you don't see that right now that this is on the cusp of happening? I don't sir. No, I don't see that right now. I think that um the regime is have been planning for this for 45 years and you can expect a fierce resistance. But while he plays cheerleader, the price of Brent crude has surged past $91 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate is flirting with $90, marking the highest levels in nearly 2 years. The US Navy is talking about escorting ships, but they can't escort ships if their radar is destroyed and their bases are on fire. The price at the pump in America and Europe is about to skyrocket. And that economic pain is going to land squarely on the voters who bought into the lies about American strength. This war, ignited by the US and Israel, is already causing the US economy to shed jobs with a reported loss of 92,000 jobs last month. and the stock market is tumbling. The American people are paying the price for Netanyahu's bloodlust and Trump's ego. Let's talk about the state of those trapped US forces because their situation is more desperate than the Pentagon dares admit. The US has long maintained a significant presence in the UAE under the guise of partnership, specifically at Aldafra Air Base, which is home to the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing. This is where the drones and refueling aircraft that enable the entire regional mission are housed. The agreement with the UAE was always shaky. The Emiratis publicly stated earlier this year that they would not allow their territory to be used for attacks on Iran, but we all know how public statements work when the Americans put a gun to your head. The UAE blinked. The US used the bases and now the bill is due. Now the US forces are reportedly trying to evacuate in civilian clothes. A move that reeks of desperation and potentially violates the laws of war regarding unformed combatants. They are trying to blend in with civilians to escape the Iranian retaliation that is rightfully targeting them. And the worst part, Iran has announced that the main phase hasn't even started yet. These soldiers are trapped in a country that is now a potential war zone with their chain of command in chaos, waiting for a strike that could come at any moment. Now we have to address the bizarre sideshow coming out of the Iranian presidential palace. President Masoud Peshkan, the so-called reformist, has come out with his tail between his legs, effectively apologizing to neighboring countries for the attacks. He stated that the armed forces have been ordered to stop strikes on neighbors unless attacked first. And he even apologized personally. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. With all due respect, this is meaningless political theater. It is almost laughable to watch a reformist try to play nice while the IRGC is actually running the war. Peskin can apologize all he wants. The IRGC doesn't take orders from him. They answer to a higher calling, the defense of Iranian sovereignty and the destruction of the capabilities of the aggressors. While the president is talking about diplomacy, the IRGC is releasing statements about blinding the eyes of the US and Israel by destroying their advanced radar systems in Jordan and the UAE. They are the ones calling the shots. This is the classic western mistake. They always try to find the moderate Iranian to deal with, completely missing the fact that the military-industrial complex in Iran operates on a doctrine of deterrence, not appeasement. To wrap this up, look at the bigger picture. This is the beginning of the end for the US dominated security architecture in the Middle East. The UAE is reeling its economy on life support. The Saudis are quietly distancing themselves, terrified they are next. The US military is hiding in civilian clothes, trying to catch flights out of a country that can no longer protect them. And Iran, despite the noise about apologies, has successfully demonstrated that they can reach any target anywhere in the Gulf at any time. They turned Dubai, the playground of the West, into a ghost town with a single coordinated drone strike. The suspension of flights at DXB isn't just a logistical headache. It is a metaphor. The party is over. The music has stopped. And the United States along with its vassal state, Israel, is left standing alone in the dark, wondering where all their so-called allies went. The war has not yet begun, but the defeat is already written. Subscribe, stay tuned, stay aware, and for God's sake, keep your eyes on the skies because the balance of power just shifted and it shifted East.
American Troops Scramble To 'Dodge Iran War Orders'? Major Blow To Trump’s Iran War Push | Watch Times Of India Mar 7, 2026 #IranWar #USIranConflict #TrumpWar
Anti-war activist Mike Prysner says growing numbers of U.S. troops and their families are contacting his organization for help to avoid fighting in the U.S.–Israeli war against Iran. He claims some soldiers were told they were going for training but later informed of a combat deployment. The remarks come as protests erupt across major U.S. cities opposing the war. A University of Maryland poll shows only 21 percent support military action against Iran. Critics also cite Donald Trump’s “No New War” campaign pledge. Lawmakers and veterans are divided, while reports of civilian casualties and rising tensions continue fueling debate across the United States.
Transcript
A prominent anti-war activist and filmmaker says a growing number of US troops and their families are reaching out for help to avoid fighting in the ongoing USIsraeli war against Iran. Mike Pryzner, executive director of the Center on Conscience and War, says his organization has been flooded with calls from American service members seeking ways to avoid participation in the conflict. Posting on social media, Pryer wrote that the phone at his organization has been ringing off the hook with many soldiers and their next of kin asking about options to dodge involvement in the offensive. Pryzner shared details of one conversation he says he had with the mother of a service member deployed in the region. According to him, the soldier was given what was described as a final phone call home before being ordered to turn in his phone. During that call, the soldier told his mother that his unit was preparing for a boots on the ground deployment later that night. Pryzner also said the soldier relayed what his commander told the troops about the mission. According to the activist, the commander reportedly said the deployment was meant to bring about what he described as the second coming of Christ. Pryzner further claimed that many of the servicemen had not initially been told they were heading into a combat deployment. Instead, he said they had been informed that they were traveling for training exercises. The remarks come as protests have erupted in several major cities across the United States against the military strike. hikes on Iran. Large crowds have gathered in downtown Seattle as well as in Washington DC, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Demonstrators in those cities have voiced opposition to the joint USIsraeli military campaign targeting Iranian cities. Protesters have also expressed concerns over civilian casualties and the broader consequences of the conflict. Public opinion surveys suggest significant skepticism among Americans about the war. A poll conducted by the University of Maryland shows that only 21% of respondents supported a war on Iran. The survey found that a large majority of those questioned opposed military action. Critics have also pointed to President Donald Trump's campaign pledge during the 2024 election. At the time, Trump had promised what he described as no new war. Some supporters now feel betrayed by the administration's decision to launch strikes. Reports of civilian casualties have also intensified criticism. According to a recent report by the New York Times, evidence indicates that the United States targeted a girl's elementary school in the southern Iranian city of Manab during a strike on February 28th. The attack reportedly killed more than 170 people, most of them children. For many veterans of earlier US wars, the conflict with Iran is drawing comparisons to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. That war launched over claims of weapons of mass destruction, later became one of the most controversial conflicts in modern American history. Veterans say the current situation raises similar concerns about long-term instability and the lack of a clear endgame. In Washington, several lawmakers who previously served in the military have also raised questions about the war. Among them is Senator Ruben Galgo of Arizona, a Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq. Galgo warned that the lack of a clearly defined strategy is deeply concerning. He said it is a frightening situation when there is no clear explanation of the plan, the goals, or what victory would look like. Galgo also argued that the war is illegal. He said there was no imminent threat that would justify bypassing congressional authorization for military action. Another critic is Democratic Representative Chris Duzio of Pennsylvania, a Navy veteran who also served during the Iraq War. Delusio questioned those supporting the conflict. He asked what he called a simple question. How many American troops should die for the war? However, veteran opinion on the conflict remains divided. Some lawmakers with military backgrounds have publicly backed the president's actions. Republican Senator Joanie Ernst of Iowa, a combat veteran of the Iraq War, defended the administration. She said the six American service members killed by Iran gave their lives in what she described as a noble mission to protect fellow Americans and defend the homeland. Despite the criticism and protests, political support for the president remains strong among parts of the veteran community. According to exit polls, Donald Trump won nearly 2thirds of the veteran vote in the 2024 election. Many veterans, particularly older ones, continued to support the president's decision to strike Iran. They argued that the action was necessary against what they see as a regime determined to threaten the United States. As the war continues and tensions rise, debates over the conflict are intensifying across the country, both among the public and within the ranks of those who have served in uniform. News never stops. The world keeps turning and every turn tells a story. Wars, elections, geopolitics, David's versus Goliaths. While everyone is celebrating the US China trade tour, Trump has been quietly doing something else across Asia. Were once home to the ancient Silk Road connecting east and west.

Iran's Missiles DECIMATE Israel & Gulf, Trump STUNNED as Russia Enters | Stanislav Krapivnik Danny Haiphong Streamed live 6 hours ago #iran #israel #trump
Overnight, Iran's retaliation struck Israeli and US targets hard, including wiping out a Patriot missile battery, several key air defense radars, in addition to pounding Tel Aviv. Former US Army officer and geopolitical analyst Stanislav Krapivnik joins to break it all down.
Transcript
Greetings everyone. Greetings. Welcome back to the show. It's your host Danny Hiong. As you can see, I am joined by former US Army officer, geopolitical analyst, and commentator Stas Capnik. Stas, good to have you back on. How are you? Always a pleasure. Always a pleasure. Tired, I'm sure, like everybody else, cuz you know, nobody nobody's willing to sedate Trump and keep him away from that freaking telephone where he keeps posting stuff. Uh they need to do this just for humanity for at least a day to separate him from all the from anything he can touch. Put him on a couch somewhere. Let him sleep it off, you know. Don't give him any whiskey. Go do that. Everyone hit the like button as you come on. That helps boost the show. We're going to get started right away, Stas, because I wanted your comment on this. We know that Iran's retaliation has been very undersold by the United States and Israel. Uh we're hearing all kinds of reports of what Iran has been able to do, which I think is causing uh panic in uh the United States's wararmongering brass. You have Iran having hit these key radar systems. Uh uh St. most recently they hit one, I believe it was in uh Jordan and uh as well as the UAE. These radars are so critical to the THAAD system which you can help explain after I go over uh this STS. But here is another image of what happened in Jordan. That is the radar system that has essentially been demolished by Iranian missile fire. Now uh there's only I believe the numbers keep on changing but I believe there's only eight of these TADs in the world. And with their radars gone, we have Israel struggling very dramatically. This is Harets talking about how now alerts for Iranian missiles in drones for their air defense systems to start firing have gone down to just a matter of minutes that they cannot commit to a specific number of minutes for their warnings and the activation of sirens. And I'll I can play just a little bit of what that has actually produced in the last few days. Stas uh here you have an Alazer report that shows uh what Iran has been using this cluster uh bomb missile which has absolutely and you'll see here Israelis reacting to the uh you know the sight of them Well, there you have the air defense systems just working just overtime for one missile. And you know, uh, the damage has been had. We've had images of massive damage inside of Israel, uh, as well as surrounding areas. So SAS talk to me about what exactly you believe has been happening in this war. Where is it right now as we go beyond the oneweek mark? Well, first of all, uh as far as radars, those THADs, that's a radar that goes uh with the THAAD battery. Uh THAAD batter is the uh it's is an anti-missile system battery. Uh it the interceptors first of all this project uh and it's supposed to be cutting edge technology. It's it was lingering around for about 20 years. Everybody the military is trying to kill it over and over and over again but the the Senate wouldn't Congress wouldn't allow it to die because too many Congress critters uh were getting some good pork barrel spending out of this project. So it finally got birthed. They really wanted to still birthe it or abort it. But no, they got birthed. Um, while the radars are very good, they see over the horizon, they're also very bright. Uh, which means they get a lot of attention. You do not want to get attention in a military conflict because the more attention you get, the more service you become. And what I mean by service, you get shot at. That's a nice uh uh that that's a nice term for getting whacked. uh and they got whacked. But those aren't the primary radars. Those are mobile systems that go with the batteries. Um there are I think if I remember correctly seven batteries of THADs in the world. Uh one was um or two of them were in Saudi Arabia. They've been destroyed. They were sold to Saudi Arabia and the remaining five the US deployed two of them to Israel. Maybe three batteries. Uh but as far as remember it's two. So they might have moved one of the the radar systems into Jordan to make up for the stationary radars that uh Iran destroyed. Iran destroyed uh one in Bakaran uh which was this giant radar system that saw that the US used for targeting Russian ships in the north Caspian. And by ships in this case I mean civilian transport ships giving them coordinates to the Ukrainians. Uh which is hilarious because all of a sudden uh America's elite politicians have found out that oh Russia's gi bastard Russians are given coordinates to those evil bastard. How dare they? Yeah it's called payback. I add a few other words to it but children may be watching. Um it's like welcome to the payback. You want a proxy we can get a proxy too. uh in and China is doing the same thing uh by with their be system. Uh so the fact that American politicians are in shock tells you how ignorant they are, how much they believe their own propaganda that they're exceptional. They can do whatever they want and nobody can do anything back to us. Well, no. No, it doesn't work that way. Uh unfortunately, the polit political class in the US is mostly uh absolutely ignorant of reality. Uh so that's one system and that system that was destroyed in Bakran was a billion dollar system and there was another smaller system that worked in tangent uh that was destroyed in Qatar. Uh so and we saw that it was destroyed. What amazed me is how it was destroyed. It was destroyed by a Shahed drone first day in and this drone they're slow. Uh they have relatively slow. They have uh like a small moped internal combustion engine. They're loud. It sounds like a moped flying over your head and you're watching this drone and just nose dives it. What amazed me was nobody was firing on it. Not assault rifle fire, not machine gun fire, no stingers going up, nothing. Nothing. Everybody either cleared out and ran away to their bunkers without doing any kind of air defense. Obviously, no missile fire uh from a Patriot, for example. Nothing. They just flew in, blew up a half billion dollar piece of equipment, and that's it. And there's a lot of American bases burning everywhere. 22 bases have been hit. uh including in Iraq uh in Masul for example that America leveled to free it from uh uh from Egil that the US CIA created and right now there are battles going on in Mosul because uh after Iran hit it for the Iraqis Iraqi militia and regulars are now having firefights with the US troops trapped there. So unless the US does some kind of convoy run to get those people out of there, there are 2,000 Americans that are basically sitting in three bases uh in uh Iraq uh cut off. So when their ammo and food runs out, yeah, they're screwed. Uh one of them sits in Kurdistan, which is pretty funny because in in this case because oh the US just backstabbed the Kurds in Kurds in Syria and let El Galani and the Turks massacre them. So now we don't need you guys anymore. Thanks for playing. Thanks for being on our side and being devoted to us and go bugger off and have have Adam El Gelani. Eigil can now murder at will because you know El Galani plays basketball with central command generals and you know he gets on stage in the US. He's uh as Trump said you know I put him in I put this guy in. Oh yeah yeah yeah. He's your little bastard. Um, so you know, these, by the way, are the same Kurds that they're counting on to throw over into uh eastern Kurdish territories in Iran uh to start a revolution there. The same guys they just betrayed, the same guys whose cousins and brothers or fathers were just massacred, women, children, all you got to love Washington. I mean, this this is it's not even amateur hours. Keystone cops. Uh it's ridiculous. There's no strategy. There's no long-term plan. And it's whatever goes at the moment at the moment. Uh you know that's that and lit literally that and even political notice that about uh um about Trump. It's like they just woke up and went to war. Yeah. Pretty much so. Well, they didn't wake up and just go to war. They woke up and and were told by uh the Israelis, you're going to war. Uh and and that was it. That that was the final decision which we got from Marco Rubio and from Johnson uh in a big word salad. But when you boil it all down, yeah, we weren't planning attacking them, but the Israelis are going to do it, so we had no choice. Oh, so we know who your masters are. You could have just said, "Have at it. We're out of here. Have fun. We're not doing anything. Get whacked, man. That's your problem, not ours." But no, no, no. It's time for Americans to die and die. A lot of Americans to die for the greater good of Israel. Uh I mean just while Israel's committing genocide in Lebanon and they're talking about how they're going to settle Lebanon with Israeli settlers once they exterminate the local population and the Christian population too by the way uh which is onethird of Lebanon is is Orthodox and Catholics but you know to the uh Zionist evangelicals uh those aren't Christians or some kind of pagans unfortunately. So, that's what we have. What what we're having, what we see here is a three-phase uh attack. And we're somewhere between phase two and three. And when phase three comes in, everybody's screwed really, really badly on the receiving side. Phase one, you take all your cheapest junk, and you throw it in mass, but you're not throwing it to destroy the air defense system. You're throwing it to blind the air defense systems. And the forward bases were hit. the uh the forward radar system destroyed. Air strips were hit, so you can't get planes up as easily to recon and air defense. Phase two, you don't throw as much, but you throw enough to keep uh near to keep using up the anti-air defense system. So, you keep throwing whatever old stuff you have, your medium-ag stuff, your good stuff is still held in reserve once those missiles are used up. And just to understand what we're talking about, uh, the two batteries of THADS had 192 missiles between them. 129 90 192 interceptors. There's about 70 more interceptors spread out in different uh, US units for the other uh, three THAD batteries. So guys, there's 70 more. Uh, and then and the US sold a certain amount to the Arabs and others, but they've been used up. And US manufacturing is 10 missiles a month hand manufactured by hand. Uh US comes in there with about a thousand Patriot missiles. Uh on a normal case it's like two missiles per target. So you're looking at what about 500 targets and then you have no more missiles. though you know I had one of my updates I had the shot of the day where uh it was ballistic and all it by the speed of it it wasn't anything it's not hypersonic it was just a relatively slowmoving ballistic missile coming in um somewhere in the suburbs of Tel Aviv 11 11 Patriot missiles $66 million went up to meet it and they missed all all 11 Patriot missiles missed and the ballistic just goes through and blows something up. Yeah, at that rate you're not going to have a lot of missiles left. That was, by the way, those 11 uh that was about a week and a half of manufacturing production because the Patriot is now produced at about 35 to 40 missiles a month. That's it. And they're also done by hand, by the way. So is the Tomahawk. Why they're done by hand? because of the way the Pentagon pays out for manufacturing uh to suppliers. They do a cost plus system. So if your item if we decide your your profit margin is going to be 10% and your item cost is $100, we pay you $110. There's your profit margin. So the emphasis for any private company is obviously to make their missiles as expensive as possible. And you make those missiles as expensive as possible by putting them all together by hand. You don't have any automated facilities to slap them out in any kind of large volumes. So the missiles become extremely expensive. I mean the Patriot the Pack One Patriots were a million dollars back in 1991 92. The Pack 3 Patriots are about $6 million. Uh so you know little bit of inflation over the 30 years intervening. That's what you do. You put them all together by hand. But of course, you can't you can't uh surge that very much uh in production and and just and amazingly it still actually amazes me quite a bit with a bill with a trillion and a half budget of official budget of the Pentagon, but the actual military budget in the US is about 30% of the US budget, governmental budget. It's just hidden in chunks. For example, half of NASA's budget's actually military. And then you get veteran affairs which is a a separate uh min separate uh department even though in in almost any other government it'll be under ministry of uh defense in the United States ministry of war. Uh so you you get and separated out but it's really still all ministry of defense budget. uh in a trillion and a half official ministry of uh or department of war budget uh they couldn't find 10 billion dollars or so to build a new factory over the last four years knowing that they don't have enough missiles. You know, what can you say? Government officials. Um, so they're running out of missiles, making it, long story short, they're now trying to strip missiles out of South Korea, out of Taiwan, uh, out of other locations, Patriot missiles to bring them in. If they even bring those in, that's maybe another 7, 800 missiles. Okay? So, you've bought yourself maybe another four or five days a week max. right now with what's on hand uh anywhere from a week to a week and a half from now there will be no missiles. Iron Dome is the same thing. Arrow in Israel is the same thing. They're out of missiles because it's a hell of a lot cheaper to make a a a cheap ballistic missile for $100,000 while the other guy's throwing $6 million missiles at it. You know, even if your economy is that much bigger, it still runs out of money. Uh and that's not even counting drones. Uh so what once and once your your defensive missile systems are done or overwhelmed, you can always overwhelm the system too. You just send such a big wave that they don't have time to reload and and whatever they can't hit just gets through. But the Iranians aren't doing it. That's a short We saw that in 2012. I mean, I'm sorry, 2012. In the 12-day war in the summer, the Iranians would just overload the system. They sent enough uh ordinance that they couldn't just shoot them all because they run out of missiles. And good luck trying to figure out which one, by the way, is the newer and more uh it's going to hit the target tighter uh than the older missiles. This time, Iran is going for the long war. Trump was advertising that the Iranians were calling him and asking for that. That's BS. Total BS. And once that was uh and then they, you know, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Iran was asked like, "Hell no, we're not. When we're done is when we're done. When we feel like we're done." And that's what Trump came back with. Oh, I'll take nothing but unconditional surrender. And then I'll pick the uh the Ayatollah. Okay, Mr. uh uh Mr. God's chosen uh for that the u the uh the heretical uh uh Christian Zionists uh actually believe this that he's God's chosen to to lead them to whatever. So, you know, it it's it's desperation at this point because they know in a week and a half, give or take a few days, one way or the other, they're out of missiles. Now, what do you do? Now comes in phase three and that's when Iran pulls out its high quality hypersonics and everything else that's going to hit on target with some random satellites up top given exact coordinates of every target. Um we don't know whose satellites they could be you know hit hit nudge nudge. Um but there uh yeah and then you got a problem. you got a very big problem uh for the US military, for uh the British, French, Germans, or whomever wants to join in, for the Israelis, obviously. Uh you got a very very very big problem. What do you do now? And that I don't know. I don't know what the US the US could leave. I mean, you could just say, "Oh, sorry. Okay, we've done what we could. We're out of this." And and take the uh the smack upside the head and leave. But they won't do that because the politicians will just double down. Israel could go to a nuclear uh attack which would be at least politically the end of Israel forever. Uh US could do the same. It probably be the same thing or Russia and China could step in and counter threaten with nuclear weapons and then we may have a nuclear war. You know, who knows? Orange man nut job might just go for that. I don't know how much he listening to him. Yeah. I don't know how much he's in reality honestly speaking. Uh Trump one and Trump two uh are radically different people. I mean just listen to his speech. Listen to the way he spoke in the first Trump term and listen to the way he speaks now. His vocabulary uh as far as his choice of words, his sentence structure, which is just chunks. It sounds like a 8 n 10 year old talking. uh you know it's it's it's a vastly different uh I'm not saying Trump was any kind of genius uh to begin with. No well most American politicians are far from any genius. Some of them have barely room temperature IQs probably lower than that. Uh it's a popularity contest and that goes for the Democrats as well as the Republicans. Look at Oxana the Cartez. I mean good god you got a barman with the all the intellect of a barman uh now as a senator. Woo. Yep. that that's getting the best and brightest right there. Um I guess you ran her looks. I don't know. But the point is these are the people you have in power. These are people you have around you. And the generals aren't going to say anything because they want their big money career after they're no longer generals when they're it's when it's written general retired re uh you know behind their title. They want the big money career. So they're not going to do the honorable thing and resign rather than carry out idiotic suicidal policies. God forbid that, then they don't get the big money contracts. Uh, this is the government that that the US has. This is the government you're living under right now. Never mind, yeah, the majority of the elites, uh, you know, that that literally they just don't rape children. They sometimes eat children quite literally. I mean, you know, uh, uh, uh, as many small time, medium-time celebrities and other people were telling you this is what's going on and everybody looked, yeah, that can't be right or it's conspiracy or whatever. No, it's much worse than you think, but these are the elites you're living under. So, if they're willing to eat children of their own people, like literally rape them, murder them, whatever the hell they're doing, if you read if you read the accounts, it's mindbogglingly insane. uh uh what are they going to willing to do with you or with another country? And when the US is now I mean of course the US is saying they're out of missiles, they're out of this, they're out of that. Far from it. They're they're not doing the big waves that they were doing in the 12- day war because they realized this is going to be a long-term fight. uh and the political uh in a panic and all these other papers in a panic because they discovered the US was planning for a 100 day war uh now which was supposed to be a 4-day war uh went to a 30-day war which were day eight I think now and then or I'm sorry yeah day eight uh picked up the date they're all blur together and now they're looking at a 100 day war and there's no munitions for that uh and the tomahawks are going to run out right now they've started dropping J dams which are glide bombs. Basically, you take an old iron bomb and you put wings on it and a module to control where it's flying as it's gliding down. Sometimes I even put a small jet engine on it just to push it a little further, but the end it's a glide vehicle that's coming down. Uh so it lets you do a much further standoff. basically a dumbed down cruise missile uh with a very small engine or maybe no engine at all, just lift from the plane. That's what they're hitting with right now. I mean, I watch some of these videos, you can hear the sound. It's a very distinct sound of of J dams coming in because they're not very aerodynamic. Obviously, they're not meant to be. They're they're iron bombs that you drop from a plane. Um, and the reason they're hitting civilians because they can't find the military targets. The US Air Force has been doing that since World War II. They always think if they murder enough women and children, society there will collapse and then then you can just walk in and take over. It never has never happened once. Never. Because the people may not like the government, but they see who's murdering their children and they're going to rally around the flag. That is natural human instinct. No matter whose country you're bombing, um, you can buy the elites out. You can do things like that, but bombing them out, no, it doesn't work. It It It just doesn't work. But they never learn. They I guess I think they just enjoy murdering women and children, honestly. I don't I don't care. Either that that's stupid or they they enjoy it. Yeah. Well, Stas, I wanted to just uh demonstrate a bit of this air defense issue that you uh just outlined here. Uh here is a Patriot uh missile system that was destroyed by Iran in the UAE. And I just want to show people that there's a direct connection between these things being destroyed by Iran and then what you see for example here at the Dubai airport which has been shut down which uh shows exactly this phenomenon you talking you're talking about with Iranian drones. Here we go. Another drone. I don't know if you can see or not. You'll begin to hear it soon. He's coming. He's coming to the airport. To the airport again here on straight to the airport. Oh my god. So these kind of direct hits are happening all the time throughout the Gulf and Israel as well. Uh in large part because they're they're acknowledging it. Stas what you are saying is not something that is being denied so much at least within the mainstream media. Even look at this. allies are fearing that this war is going to leave them without the weapons they bought. We already know that they're trying to strip South Korea, Japan of anything that they have uh in order to continue this. But s it's not so easy, is it? And where does this leave Israel too? Because Israel, now that we've had uh Pzeshkin say, "Okay, where we might not be hitting the Gulf as much anymore unless the bases are used for this war." Uh Israel was not on that list. Israel continues to be hit every day. Where does this leave them as uh these uh air defenses because they rely on these very heavily as well where when when they start to run out? You know, one of the reason I got to hit the bases because there's not enough targets worth the opportunity to hit anymore. Uh quite literally. I mean, I've got lots of videos of American bases burning. You know, ammo depots hit, fuel depots hit, headquarters building. The fifth fleet has no place to go except go home to America. Its ports are destroyed, burned out. Uh I love when Trump was like, "Oh, we'll just escort those tankers right through the Gulf." Okay. How many sailors are are How many sailors are you ready to lose to say enough is enough? Because there going to be a lot of dead ones. A lot of a lot fewer ships left in the US Navy if you do that. You got to be either scenile or I'm sorry, butt ass ignorant. I look at a freaking map. It's 35 kilometers of the narrowest point. You don't need uh land to sea missiles. You know what you need? You need about a thousand kids with drones, just regular FPV drones by line of sight, and they can the bigger ones that have a bigger accumul just just throwing them out there. You'll overwhelm any defense of any ship in an area that narrow. That's it. Oh, you're going to shoot every single one of those kids sitting under every single bush. Yeah, you're not gonna find enough of them, especially consider it's mountainous mountainous area looking down on you, but they sure as hell can find you out in the middle of that very narrow straight. I mean, that that's the reality of it. Welcome to modern technology. They need to use sea drones, but they could use those, too. Plus, uh even though Iran's fleet has been destroyed, it's surface large fleet, large ship fleet has been destroyed. Uh it still has about 20 submarines, diesel submarines out there somewhere, maybe a few less. I don't know. The Americans are claiming to have sunk one. Uh but they've got tons of speedboats. And by the way, that last American tanker that was hit and was burning was hit by a surface a CtoCa missile fired from a speedboat. So, you know what you're looking at here is is is you're you're just screwed. I mean, if Trump is going to go for it, I mean, he could I who knows what he could offer. No admiral is going to re quit. I'd be surprised if any admirals quit. Uh it'll continue will try to execute the insane order. I mean, my god, you're you're looking at possibly the 82nd airborne, 101st airborne, maybe 10th mountain being tossed into either uh uh Turkeykey's border with Iran and toward Iranian Kurdistan or to Azer Bjan. Uh it looks like, you know, exercises have been cancelled for the 82nd Airborne. Uh leave has been cancelled. So I guess these guys are going to go on a death ride into the mountains of of Iran where drones are waiting for them and the Iranian army dug in is waiting for them along with the idiots in Azar Bjan that seem to be really apt to have their country disappear off the face of the map because they've pissed both Russia off and are really pissing Iran off 8 million versus a combined 250 million and and math doesn't work well the math the math is But Aarjan is more or less flat compared to either side of either Russia's Dagistan or Iran's Azarbani areas and you're not going to get the Azarbanis to rise up because you know what they're extremely well integrated into Iranians to say how well integrated are these well the previous president was Aarjani and Kamani is Aarani so the new Ayatollah his son is Azar Bjani they're very integrated into the ruling class they're not going to rebel they're part of the elite. They're not some small minority off to the side that nobody remembers. They and the Persians are on equal grounds ruling Iran. They're not going to rebel. They have no reason to rebel. Uh on the other hand, Aaran may disappear or have its economy ruined because it's a one-trick pony. Its number one economy is oil. I used to be in Azer Bjan a lot. Uh because I had people working there. I was a director of supply chain for Hallebertton. Aar Bjan for Eurasia. Abrajan. It was actually my favorite place to go because Bakuza was a pretty cool city. You could go hit the bars and things like that. Never mind the they're Shia Muslims. You could go hit the bars and and place like that. So, you got done uh in the office on the north side of the peninsula. Drove to a good hotel on the south side of the peninsula and then went had a couple drinks uh with your uh with with my managers that were working for me. So, you know, compared to everywhere else I went, that was a cool place. Most of the other places were in the middle of absolutely nowhere. You know, you're sitting in some uh container with a bed in there. It's like, yay. But, you know, it's part of the job. Uh but the problem is outside of oil and agriculture and agriculture is exported to Russia otherwise it goes bust. Last time Russia has closed the border said no more agriculture and it was a big problem. And oil and shipping oil and gas out. That's it. It's pretty much a onetrick pony. carbo carbohydrates. Do you remove that? Azerban goes into third world stats very very very very quickly. Uh but I guess they want a war. Um these mystery drones uh and and I'll repeat the Lucas drone, the American Lucas drone is an exact copy of the Russian Grand 3. Uh and back in June the US un unwield unvealed its new drones. They were an exact copy of the Shahit drones. Um so these mystery drones started hitting for some reason you know uh just flew into Baku or I'm sorry into Azeran it was Baku south of Ajan hit the airport and another hit something else I don't remember else um they were flying into Cyprus to hit Cypress and there was a missile flying to hit Iran. Now the house the representative of the housing party of the UK which is a a very tiny minor uh party but also uh the RAF have both stated that what hit into Cyprus into their base was not an Iranian drone was not an Iranian missile. They won't say who it was, but we know several Israeli uh agents were arrested in Saudi Arabia in Qatar trying to blow up equipment uh oil equipment uh to get everybody involved in this war. And you know, a month, a little over a month and a half ago, Georgia opened up its airways for US military flights. And within a week of that, within two days, four C130s land to refuel in Bisei airport. H I wonder what I wonder what they were carrying aboard those C130s. Maybe I don't know, drones. Um, you know, something like that because mystery drones are now popping up all over the place. Uh, so I don't know. I mean, they're trying to to get this going because the missile campaign and the bombing campaign isn't working. They're killing a lots of civilians. In one day, they killed over a thousand civilians. Hit 13 uh hospitals and medical points. 13. Hit two more schools. Uh because Oh, Stace, it looks like we've we've lost you. Are you there still? Um Okay. Yeah. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you now. Okay, continue. Um, you think they're trying to cut us off? They don't want to stalk. Well, um, actually, switch them off. Switch them off quickly. Switch them off. I wanted to talk to you, you know, I know you have talked about that, uh, all of these problems that you just mentioned um, and that we've covered here up to this point. Um, you know, the United States is trying very hard not to look the way of panicked. Uh but there's a lot of indications that this is actually the opposite uh case here. Um here is uh what Donald Trump said uh right after Peshkin uh gave the uh so-called fig leaf, but I think it was more like a chess move uh around the Gulf States saying, "Okay, we won't hit you if you're not militarily using if you're not being used militarily to hit us." Um, you know, Trump uh has made this huge statement about wanting unconditional surrender because Iran is being beat to hell. It's the loser of the Middle East. Uh, it will be hit very hard and uh, you know, if it doesn't get if if there's no unconditional surrender, you know, he's going to be choosing the leader, etc., etc. This is this is Donald Trump's rhetoric. Now, you posted Stas and I really want you to if you could help people understand um uh what exactly is going on here. Let me see if I can find your uh post here. No, no, no, no, no. Oh, here we go. It was the very last one. um your post where you talked to about air superiority over Iran has not been achieved and you said there's a misconception about information space that the US and Israel have established full control over Iran's airspace and you posted from here uh these maps especially this map about where uh operation epic fury is firing so talk about this uh if you could and uh how that reflects how you're seeing the United States as well as Israel react to how this war is going? Well, I mean, they did kill a certain amount of launch vehicles uh that were on top. There's a lot of launch vehicles that are kept underground. They they come out when it's time to launch the missiles and they go back wherever the tunnel is that leads them. Uh Iran has actual what they call missile cities, which are these huge fortified underground facilities with, by the way, they can also assemble missiles, fuel them, and and continue the process. There's certain things like uh the actual body of the missile has to be done in a in a factory environment, but you can assemble them uh once you get the raw well the steel the rolled steel in uh sheet steel for uh and and the different parts for the missile assembly. Yeah, you can continue assembling them underground. Drones, by the way, are much easier. Setting up a a modern drone factory isn't that expensive and isn't that hard. You don't need big steel rolled tubes for your missile body. You can, you know, drones can be made mostly out of polymer materials or plastics. So, they do have these and the US has not destroyed them. In fact, it's pretty hard to find them uh in a in a country that's 70% mountains, very very high mountains, which is, by the way, okay, so you're going to throw in light American infantry units against what about almost a million man army and militia uh that's dug in the mountains. Okay, man, have fun. I wouldn't want to do that, but you know, okay, whatever. Uh so they're they're having a lot of problems, which is why again why they're bombing civilians that did the same thing in a lot of almost every single instance. Uh the most famous one was Clinton bombing Yugoslavia which is supposed to have lasted seven days lasted 98 days and they went to bombing civilians hospitals, trains, markets, churches and so on because they couldn't find the uh the Yugoslav military which dissolved into the mountains was sitting there waiting for the Americans and NATO come in to start whacking them which by the way the Iranians are doing the same thing. This dissolve out at different bases and they're sitting there in their bunkers waiting. Are you going to come or you're not going to come? Uh and as the uh Iranian government uh the foreign minister said, "But aren't you being uh pummeled? Aren't you going to surrender?" No, you really are ready to take on the US Army. Yeah, we're waiting for you. Come and get some. And there's shock. I mean, these are same people that are in shock to say, "Why are you How can you justify hitting American bases?" I don't know. Because they're freaking shooting at us. I mean, this is NBC, by the way. um give them dips. So they at least allowed the uh you know brownie points so they at least allowed the foreign minister of Iran to answer. But you know who writes your questions? I mean sir this is the same people. How dare the Russians give coordinates. I mean it's the same mentality. How dare they proxy us? We're the only ones. We're you know the exclusive people that can proxy everyone else. Nobody can touch us. They're not allowed to. It's in the bylaws. See we wrote the bylaws. See there there's our bylaws. Um, but at this point, you know, the air defense systems, I don't know how much they're degraded. I can't say. I mean, obviously. Uh, and there's this other moment where we found out that uh the US Air Force is bombing drawings and there's lots of in their own images. I mean, they're pretty damn realistic looking drawings when you're looking through uh whatever filtered camera that they're using. Um, but you know when you hit the smack in the middle of a uh a part fighter plane and it just becomes a big hole smoking hole while the rest of it still there. Obviously you hit concrete very well painted concrete. Well, like this helicopter right here. You don't see parts of it flying anywhere because you know you hit concrete. Congratulations. somehow somehow stops uh uh you know this was just hit by I assume a powerful missile bomb and uh yet the uh the helicopter remains intact. Absolutely. It's so how many how many of these phantom uh you know targets they've counted as we've destroyed I don't know but you know the simple fact that it it no this isn't even this isn't even a mockup you know we look you know uh you make artillery pieces by taking a pipe sometimes use wood but it's better you take a pipe you put the pipe on there put a couple wheels together and and some kind of block and you cover it all up with a netting so you can't really see the details and that gets whacked and it's just a pipe and a couple wheels or tires, you know, fly off. Yeah. Okay. But this isn't even that. This is just drawings. I mean, quite literally, these are freaking just obviously very well-made lifesize drawings, but they're drawings. I'm amazed. I mean, I I didn't think that would be possible to trick modern systems this effectively with this. So yeah, even you know my jaded eyes are open. Wow. Seriously, you can do that too. Uh no way. But uh yeah way. Uh US has bombed and Israel has bombed a lot of uh chalk drawings or paintings whatever. You know whoever did them. Uh kudos that you could prove that you can uh you know trick modern warfare that badly. Uh, normally they'd at least make a mock up out of wood or something and put a heating element to make it look like, you know, there's an engine going or something, but no, these are just drunks, you know. Uh, I mean, I don't know what else to say for that. Wow. Just wow. Yeah. Well, I wanted to I wanted to uh one I wanted to play uh Pete Hegath's message about the war and then ask you about uh Russia's involvement and pull up a story about this because I think I think there's a um there's really something going on here where the longer this goes on and the more that these problems are being reported, the fact that the US is wasting the ammunitions in a lot of senses, hitting decoys while the Master mainstream media getting through sources through the Pentagon are saying that there's shortages everywhere. The air defenses are running out and ammunition is running out. Um it seems like the bluster only gets more and more intense and you know I think you've heard the adage that uh of insecurity. You know the the more you're having troubles and struggles with a myriad of problems the more you might lash out. Here is Pete Haketh doing just that. The amount of combat power that's still flowing, that's still coming, that we'll be able to project over Iran is a multiples of what it currently is right now when you add up our capabilities and those of the Israeli Defense Forces. And we have no shortage of authorities. The Admiral knows we have clear objectives with maximum authorities on the battlefield. The dumb, politically correct wars of the past were the opposite of what we're doing here. They had vague objectives with restrictive minimalist rules of engagement. No more. Our authorities, his authorities, Sentcom's authorities through the president and myself are maxed out. Our capabilities are overwhelming and gathering still, as are those of our Israeli partners. Our munitions are full up and our will is ironclad, which means our timeline is ours and ours alone to control. As long as it takes to ensure the United States of America achieves these objectives and as we flow more forces and as we flow more capabilities and as our munitions as we're flying over the top have even more devastating effects, we set the tempo. we set the timeline led by the commander on the ground. So, uh those are very contradictory things. They're all spoken with theatrical bluster of someone trained in the uh media circus that is the United States. But, uh nonetheless, Pete H say contradictory things. We're so overwhelming. We have all these munitions coming in, but you know, the timeline stops that it's going to be as long as it takes. You can say that confidently, but as long as it takes sounds like uh you are not going to be able to achieve your objectives in a very quick manner and now there's panic over Russia and maybe you can both react to this and help us understand exactly how Russia is providing assistance beyond the uh intelligence spin that we're hearing now. Are you are you there? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a it's an article. It's not Yeah. Yeah. This is where uh Yeah. Yeah. This is what we're being told. We're being told that Russia's bringing intelligence to Iran regarding US positions in the Middle East. Targeting to help them with targeting uh across the region, sharing information about US assets is the first indication that Russia is indirectly aiding Iran. So, yeah, react to anything to P Hegs's bluster here while admitting that this is going to take a while or at least as long as it takes. And uh now we have Russia entering the frey. Well, I'll I'll start with number two first. Uh Russia entered the frey the moment Iran finally got around to signing the uh the mutual it's not a mutual defense uh document that Russia has with North Korea and Barus. Russia wanted that. The Iranians didn't want that. But it is a uh cooperation agreement. Unfortunately for Iran, they didn't sign an actual defense agreement early on. But in these uh six months, Russia has brought in Mig 29s. Russia's brought in 235s, which can take out an F-35, even though an F-35 is a fifth generation because it's a pretty crappy plane. Uh but it has stealth. But the problem is is with the S400 systems uh and uh uh and the modern planes uh the SE 35s they can see the stuff. So that that that's an all um then Russia what what they're not talking about is and me 28 helicopter gunships that's for in case of Kurs or Bjanis or whoever you know decide to start trouble. What they're not talking about is all the other technology Russia brought in. Russia upgraded uh the drones. Russia upgraded the avionics. Russia upgraded a propulsion system. Russia upgraded the jamming system. Russia upgraded the identification system to hunt down displays for the legacy planes. And guess what? The blown up drones, you know, pictures started coming out of Russian microchips. That's the last of our washing machines. I know. We we started pulling them out of phones and and showerheads, you know, just to find whatever we could. But yeah, so Russia apparently is able to produce quite a bit quite a few at least for military grade microchips. Wow. Because, you know, somehow we keep shooting missiles that we should have ran out of three years ago. So those have all been provided to Iran. And again, I don't speak for the Russian government. Uh but this is my view on things, my personal view. So that's that's my uh uh qual qualifier in this case. Whose pilots do you think are in those planes? Whose officers do you think are controlling those S400s and the radar systems? Takes a year to train up an officer for a modern anti-aircraft system. uh at least on the Russian side uh it takes at least a year to train up a fully competent pilot from nothing to being a fully competent pilot for any modern airframe. This is not World War II where supposedly most soldiers could be trained up in about a week. Um if you train soul if you train airmen that were trained at another platform, they are never that good. They're second class at best. Simply put, muscle memory goes to what they were trained on and grew up on. avionics or aerodynamics is different for every single type of airplane. Sometimes radically different even though they all they're all jets. Yeah, but they're very different from each other uh in all reality. That's why you don't see F-16 pilots going flying F-18s. They can't. Uh so it's only it took it was only six months. So obviously I will let the audience guess whose pilots are there and whose technicians are there and whose technicians are in the BA satellite based uh radar systems the Chinese ones hit they don't look like Iranians look like Persians or Azaris that's uh so you know yeah exactly Russia is you know Russia has tried to talk calm to to the US for years Now uh four years the US is actively American military is shooting high Marsbased missiles into Russian cities. I mean it's a war. Nobody wants to admit it because they don't want to go to a full-blown war but it's a war. And when those highars get uh bounced into hell those are Americans going bouncing with that high mar system. When those patriots get destroyed patriot batteries that's 94 people in a fully uh in a fully staffed patriot battery. It was either Americans, British, Germans, or Poles because they didn't train up that many Ukrainians and a lot of patriot systems would have been destroyed. So, so who's manning them is the next question obviously. So, yeah, you'd have to be a first grade advanced uh level 99 idiot not to understand that you're going to get proxied just as bad as you were proxying them. They are going to have a chance to proxy you. Guess what's going to happen? Welcome to, you know, what what goes around comes around. Uh what's good for the G goose is good for the gander. You know, it's karma. We can do a lot of sayings, but I mean, you get the point. So that this shouldn't be a surprise in this at all. Uh that this is happening. Not not not one tiny bit. As far as Hexith, well, in a perfect world, he'd be standing in a tribunal and watching his own videos as evidence against him. He is a war criminal. Uh, I mean, let's just put it the way it is. He is a war criminal. And that just now he was a war criminal when they were shooting at speedboats and fishing boats. He was even more of a war criminal without any doubt when he was telling to double tap the survivors. That he's not just a war criminal. He is a criminal under American law because the constitution says any law any treaty including the the law of nations that is approved by ratified by Congress becomes the law of the land. Shooting people that are clinging on to wood because they've survived a sinking of their ship is illegal. It's murder. When they sank uh that frigot, the unarmed frigot. Okay, first of all, it is a warship, so it's a gray matter. You know, could have, should have, would have. They knew it was unarmed, but it's a warship and it does belong to the military that you're fighting. So, technically, you can sink it. You know, the more humane thing was surface, give them a chance to surrender and tow them off to some port and and and turn them. But, okay, they sank it. Technically, they, you know, they're allowed to do that. What they're not allowed to do is to leave the sailors there to drown and be eaten by sharks. Shark infested waters. the entire crew died. That is a war crime. So, there's war crimes from head to toe. Targeting specifically target civilians is a war crime. When you're hitting civilian buildings randomly, it's a war crime for God's sakes. And apparently now they're starting to admit that, well, maybe we did hit that school of 165 girls. Well, let me ask you a simple question. Somebody, God forbid this ever happens to you, but somebody kills your kids. What are you going to do? Mhm. You're more than likely going to pick up a rifle and you're going to go kill them, as many of them as you can, until you you die yourself because this is human nature. You kill my kids, I'm going to freaking revenge myself till the day I die. And there's 165 fathers that are going to be looking for blood vengeance. Yeah. And that's just that school. Yesterday there was a thousand civilians killed in Taran estimated a lot of buildings were destroyed so you don't know hospitals hit you know do you think their relatives are going to go with peace I I come on a channel called uh Elmad and I come on there as an expert they're out of Beirut so I'm talking to the uh the director I'm not going to name his name I'm talking to the director of of the office here in Moscow like how's your family doing? He's like five members have been killed by the Israelis. I mean, he's an old man, so he's not going to go fight obviously. But you think what the the family members are these people are just going to go, well, you know, it happens. No, they're going to want revenge. I mean, look what's happening to Israel now. They are in a dog fight. They are being absolutely whooped by Hezbollah. They're they're trying to censor that. It's really hard for them. But Hezbollah being they're being whooped on on the border. Uh it's it's a crisis for them. Yeah. Yeah. Hezbollah, which was uh holding its peace according to the ceasefire, by the way. Yeah. So, Israel, Israel is a runaway rabbit dog right now. That's the government. Uh that's the people in charge. They're a runaway rabbit dog. Um, there's no rationalizing with the with people that believe that they own everything between the Euphrates and the Nile and they're going to fix it all by getting rid of the people that live there and and colonizing it all themselves over however many millions of people they have. You get rid of a couple hundred million other people. I mean, how do you talk to people like that? Yeah. People that look at you and say, "We're genetic. We're touched by God. We're genetically better than you. You're just a smart monkey." Um, you can't talk to people like that. You can't rationalize people like that. Uh it's the same thing as with the with the Nazi Germany who believed that they were maybe they weren't touched by God but they were a superior race to everybody else and you're just interch you're just above one one step above a a ground slug uh sloth. So you know how do you rationalize except with the barrel of a gun? That's that's the only thing you have left because when they're beaten and you're you're standing on their throat then you can start rationalizing with them because they have no choice. any other position. They're looking at you as a as an interch. You're not worthy of even talking to me. How do you rationalize the people that you can't? No. Because their mentality doesn't allow it. Yeah. Well, there's reports that Hezbollah has perhaps downed a helicopter because these are just reports. We can't ver we haven't seen any verification image-wise. Of course, that doesn't mean it didn't happen because the sensors are absolutely incredible right now, but reports of downing a helicopter of capturing IDF troops. Uh there's heavy fighting all across uh the border in the south of Lebanon right now in reaction to the massacre that Israel is trying to commit um as soon as as fast as they can um by air uh in order to uh achieve greater Israel here. That seems to be but this isn't Hebrew. uh the Israelis being rabid as they are uh where earlier they were specifically mostly just hitting Hezbollah, they're not hitting Beirut have now started hitting the Christian uh sectors of Beirut and the Christians are a third of the population of Lebanon. True, the the Lebanese army is is a joke, but it still has troops, some amount of troops anyways, light equipment relatively, but still. So, the Christians are now looking at what? Uh, the Orthodox and the Catholics, they're looking at what? Either your families die. They may die anyways, but either you run or or you stand and fight. And I'm pretty sure they're going to stand and fight. They have no choice at this point. They were formerly allied with the Israelis. Uh, obviously, they're not anymore. When Israel's hitting the Christian uh districts and Christian churches and everything else, they are quite literally gazing Beirut right now. There are videos coming out. They're dropping 2,000lb bombs. you drop it at the base of the building to collapse the entire building uh and kill everybody in there. Uh and that's what they're committing. They're committing mass genocide. And this time they're not trying to play one side off against the other. They're just going for mass genocide entire population regardless of religious faith, regardless of outlooks. They're just it's genocide. Call it what it is. War criminal committing mass genocide that America and its [ __ ] in Europe are all about supporting. Yeah. All about supporting. I mean, when the Europeans come out, Iran should be condemned for shooting at bases. They have no right to shoot at bases that are shooting at them. Okay. Ridiculous. And there's no words like these people. Well, kudos to Spain. Kudos to Spain. Yeah. seriously the one the one European country with uh leaders at least a few leaders that are willing to stand up um and not a join and participate in this absolute uh horror show that uh is is is backfiring pretty hard though uh because you know uh maybe the last thing we can cover here is you know the math is not math I got a long five minutes so yeah wanted to get your final comment on you know the math is not math thing for the United States right now. You mentioned the Qatari radar, $1.1 billion. It took it took uh eight years to build in order to serve as the eye for uh of course US air defense systems. But then there's this it's not there's this economic problem that the United States is is facing and it's creeping and it's escalating hard. I believe oil is now $90 a barrel as of we speaking us speaking but it's only going to go up right now if you want me to. Yeah, it's only going to go up because Iran has uh with its retaliation has basically caused 24-hour traffic. Uh Arachia has said he hasn't formed they haven't formally closed the straight. Uh but the United States they're saying they're sending the USS George Bush now. They want to escort ships in the straight of Hormuz with uh Trump's promise of uh validating insurance so these companies commercial vessels can be pushed through but Iran is saying do that and uh we will do that and the navy becomes an even easier target than it is now. What do you what do you make of this possible consequence of this this actual consequence of the war in escalating one which uh the Trump administration is trying to whistle past the graveyard about? Well, like I mentioned earlier, uh you know, just all you need is uh large FPV drones with uh uh with uh RPG rounds attached underneath them. That's it. You just swarm any ship that comes through. Uh crude, Brent crude uh right now is $92.69. as of this minute. So, yeah, that's up from about $68 a week ago. Um, look, realistically speaking, 20 25% of the world's oil comes out of there. It's not going anywhere anymore. US has enough oil, it will hit higher prices unless the government steps in and puts a price cement. US more or less has enough oil and it's got reserves it can fill up uh for anything it needs. Um, Russia obviously has more than enough oil for itself. The Iranian oil that right now isn't flowing to China. Russia will flow to that. Uh, give it to China. There's enough oil for India. Of course, India was buying a lot more oil and reselling it to the Europeans. That ain't going to happen anymore, baby. And East Asians can outpric the Europeans any day. Welcome to the garden, the bankrupt garden. Uh, they can't outpric, they can't outrun. and 20% of their gas LNG was coming from Qatar. Qatar's LNG plants are fully shut down. They've been damaged. So even when this is done, they have to be fixed and then it takes up to 3 weeks to put a plant back up to an a gas liquef you start it up in sections and you got to make sure nothing's leaking, everything's working right, there's no blockage and so on. It takes about two to three weeks on average and then the ships have to get there. So you're if you're looking at a 100 day con uh conflict uh you know you're looking at three and a half months plus another month month and a half. So you're looking at four and a half months between before that 20% of gas goes to Europe. And just to put a nice thick dagger in between the ribs for the Europeans who were planning and talking about how they're going to drop Russia while they're supporting uh Russians being murdered. Russia said finally, and they should have done it a long time ago, but finally said, "Okay, we're out of here. Go screw off." And that's another 17% of their gas. So they just lost 37% of their gas. That's it. US can't make that hole full because that would mean taking gas off of the US market. It just wouldn't rise prices. There would be not enough gas on the US market, natural gas. And that pisses off the people amazingly enough. And that's not good for Mr. Bh. I'm sorry, Mr. Bush. Mr. Trump. No, actually Bush Jr. was a much better president than Trump was. Amazing as that is to say. Uh yeah, that's the you know, I didn't think I' I'd ever say that one, but uh yeah, the Empire, it's all downhill. That's uh that's kind of the pattern. But uh Stace, uh this was great. I just want to make sure I thank everyone who gave a super chat. Uh there's some good points made here. So, I really appreciate all of you. Um I'll just post post one of them up here that I thought was a really good point. If Tel Aviv weren't burning, why censor the info? Iron Dome invincibility is propaganda. US fights for Israel a weakening itself. uh America will be out and bankrupt if Israel takes the region. So these that was very good points. Um the US system of building missiles just fine if you're a peaceful non-imperialist country, but we haven't been that in a very long time. Yeah, this is true. This is true. Um although I would I would it would be hard to come out and say that there wasn't a a US military is weak. Listen to this man. The US military is a joke. Douglas wants people to listen to Stas. Uh and I agree. Um, so I want to thank everyone, I won't say it's a joke. I I won't say it's a joke. Uh, because it's not a joke. It still has capacity to kill a lot of people. Yeah. But it's not up to the fight that it that it's picked for itself. Uh, and far far from it. And if they throw those divisions in uh somewhere like Bjan like it it looks like they're getting ready to do, there's going to be a lot of dead people. And by the way, the casualties are hella higher. And in Germany, they're having blood drives. uh on on the American basis. They've actually the advertising office stars and stripes which is only printed outside the US for the military. They're having uh blood drives. Nothing to see here. It's just regular. We just need a hell of a lot more blood because you know just just for for whatever reason. Um nothing to see where we've got to there it is. Blood donations needed as drives return. So, uh, the Armed Services Blood Program, uh, is stepping it up. Uh, they need they need more. Um, this was published. Yeah. Don't do that just for, uh, you know, the occasional guy that gets run over by a vehicle or shoots himself in the foot or the in the head by accident. It happens. It's the military. Uh, all the equipment's there assigned to kill somebody. It doesn't really give a damn who it kills. But yeah, we there's obvious other issues. I I'm gonna run. I'm sorry. We're out of here, everybody. Hit the like button. Make sure you follow. I will put the um information in the video description. Everyone, we're going to head out of here everyone. Take care. Like button. Take care. Cheers. Bye. Bye.
