Iran Declares Nationwide Military Preparedness as Fears of Wider War Grow

The transcript highlights a growing geopolitical tension between Iran, Israel, and the United States, with Iran declaring military readiness and accusing U.S. and Israeli regimes of planning an imminent invasion. Israel’s Defense Minister and Netanyahu openly advocate for a major strike on Iran’s energy infrastructure, claiming it would secure regional dominance and prevent nuclear threats. Meanwhile, multiple reports of tanker attacks in the Strait of Hormuz—estimated at over 60—signal escalating conflict, with oil prices soaring due to supply fears. The U.S. is reportedly active near Iranian waters, and Pakistan has cut off trade with Iran, suggesting coordinated regional efforts. Iran contends that Western powers are hiding their actions and misrepresenting military outcomes, citing past failures and false claims of success. The narrative is further reinforced by Iran’s assertion that U.S. and Israeli leaders are attempting to use military action to gain political advantage ahead of elections. The situation reflects a volatile escalation, with rising oil prices, deteriorating intelligence credibility, and mutual accusations of deception. Wise is presented as a financial alternative offering transparent global currency management, contrasting with the unstable and opaque geopolitical environment described.

Iran, through the IRGC, has just issued a major declaration during a gathering in Tehran, following directives from Ayatollah, Mojtaba, Khomeini, calling for one. Nationwide, military preparedness for imminent war, expecting that the Trump regime and Netanyahu regime will be invading Iran shortly yet again. Two, national unity against Iran's enemies, and three, zero tolerance for defeatism or internal division. This message signals that Iran believes that the Trump regime and the Netanyahu regime are planning something imminent. You have the Netanyahu regime taking to Israel media and United States media, pushing a message that strikes may be imminent before Israel's election. Note Benjamin Netanyahu is trailing and he seems to be trailing more and more each day. So people are expecting is he going to try to do some national security incident to blow up the Israeli elections and as Donald Trump flounders and as the latest polling is a disaster for Trump and Maga Republicans is Trump looking for a national security incident. As he further destroys the United States economy and I saw a poll recently, Trump's approval amongst Maga amongst his core base is dropping to nearly 50% or so in the latest ABC. It's like 55% and his overall approval nationwide and that polls like 33%. All right, so you have Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz, that's his name Israel Katz from Israel. He said the following last night on Israeli media, we are absolutely prepared to attack Iran with full force and this time all energy targets will be included. Energy targets are critical to setting Iran back 40 years to the age of darkness and stone. We will strike these targets with tremendous force. I wonder why Iran thinks that a strike may be imminent and why they have national preparedness. Israel's Defense Minister Katz also says once the Iranian regime is then defeated, the entire region will move toward overt relations. Israel will be at the center of this and everything will be great. The entire world salute us. The entire world respects us. The achievements are dramatic. He said, look what we've done in Gaza. We achieved our objectives. 70 to 80% of Gaza is now destroyed. Israel's Defense Minister says the same is true of southern Lebanon. He says, then you had Netanyahu on Israeli media and he said, I am committed to toppling this regime. I know how to do it. We've come a long way but there are still stages to complete. The question isn't how to do it. Netanyahu says because I can't detail everything. The question is who will do it? That's the question in these elections. The only person who will do it is me. He then goes on to say he believes there will be an attempt to interfere in the elections. At least we're seeing indications of that. They'll try to create security incidents to convince the Israeli public that our achievements are in so great. I can certainly elaborate, but I'm not going to. I don't think there's any point of exposing our intelligence sources. So that's what you have Netanyahu saying over there. I'll show you what he said in state regime media in a moment as well. But meanwhile, we've seen a United States destroyer off the coast of Pakistan right now. Yep, the US Navy is operating within the territory of Pakistan against Iran. And it appears that Pakistan may be behind the scenes now working with the United States as the Trump regime may be working on this invasion with Netanyahu against Iran. There is confirmation that Pakistan seems to have also cut off trade with Iran. You see over here the Pakistan Iran border. Closure. They're saying it's a temporary measure, but we've seen a lot of border closures there as well. For its part, Iran has once again struck multiple tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman yesterday and the day before as we've reported on the Midest Touch Network since October 1st at the very least Iran struck 30 tankers off the coast of the Strait of Hormuz or in the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman. But the UKMTO says that's the organization that reports the tanker strikes. It says quote, we are struggling to accurately report the true number of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz with the majority of vessels attacked refusing to report to UKMTO. In other words, the Trump regime and sent common the Netanyahu regime are covering up with the tankers that are struck when they get destroyed by the IRGC. So UKMTO, which has reported 30 tankers hit in the Strait of Hormuz, has not reported the majority since October. So that means it's probably closer to 60 or 65 tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. And of course, we've seen the price of oil surge above $112 a barrel. That's the futures contract. So when people say what's the price of Brent Crude or they just use the parlance, what's the price of oil? What they're actually talking about, by the way, is the futures contract that's being sold now for December at this point. But the reality is the spot price if you wanted to buy oil. Not even talking about refined product. I'm talking about oil right now today. $150, $160 a barrel is the true dated or spot price now. They're refined stuff. Diesel gas way more expensive. That's what we call the crack spread. And we're going to see diesel continue to surge this week to record highs. Gas will surge even higher to record highs. Trump has no way out. But when Trump was giving a speech in Kentucky in a very small, you see that the whole crowd was basically empty. Did you see what that looked like? Donald Trump's like we're kicking the shit out of Iran. We're beating the shit out of them by beating the shit out of them. What do you mean the closest aircraft carrier is about a thousand kilometers outside of the Strait of Hormuz right now. All of the US military bases in the region have been destroyed. The United States has run out of weapons. We've run out of munitions. We've gone through. Did you see the report the other day? 19 years of interceptors were destroyed in seven months in this catastrophic war in Iran. But Donald Trump tells that crowd in Kentucky, we beat the shit out of them. It's just the language of this absolute loser. This is what happens when you have losers like Trump and Hegsiff in charge. They are showing how utterly incompetent they are. You're playing this clip. The stock market has hit. You know, when I did the little excursion to the Islamic, the beautiful Islamic Republic of Iran, we beat the shit out of them. But when I did that excursion, we knocked out their nuclear pass. Somebody said, Oh, well, wasn't worth it. I said they cannot have a nuclear weapon. They can't because they're using it. And then you have Hegsiff saying, for a while, maybe we sat there and thought, Okay, we're going to get perpetual peace all around the world. But evil still, I didn't even know what he's even saying. You're here playing this clip. For a while, we stopped sat there and thought, Okay, maybe we're going to get perpetual peace all around the world. Nobody's going to get along. I can guarantee you their evil still exists. Hegsiff then says that we unleashed Operation Rough Rider in Yemen in 2025 for 50 days. And now the Houthis, even during Epic Fury, have not shot at our ships because they saw what America is capable. Look what we've done to the Houthis. We destroyed them. Hegsiff said, here, play this clip. We unleashed Operation Rough Rider in Yemen for 50 days and now the Houthis, even during the Epic Fury, have not shot at our ships because they saw what America is capable of. Well, look what we've done to the Houthis. Bro, you like invited them into your signal chat. Well, you invited the reporter from the Atlantic Goldberg into your chat. Remember during the war, do you remember, do you remember that back in 2025? Remember like almost every other day, there was like a helicopter fell off an aircraft carrier or like disappeared or like a plane like mysteriously crashed. And I think people gave Sencom and gave the military the benefit of the duck. So like, yeah, Trump and Hegsiff lie about everything. But Sencom, and now I think we look at what took place there with a very different lens, but dude you're saying you destroyed on Surala, the Houthis. They've conquered all of Western Yemen, they've taken over all of Western Yemen, the Babel Mandam Street. As I'm recording this, they're encroaching freaking TIE's city right now. They're about to take over all of TIE's city. They've been launching ballistics at Riyadh's King Khalid Airport and King Fad Airport as well and you have in Saudi Arabian Riyadh they're doing virtual at home learning because on Surala keeps on striking in the area. You now have the United Arab Emirates having to like run to now actually kind of work with Saudi Arabia to now help the proxy groups try to push back on Surala as on Surala moves east and continues to advance. On Surala blew up basically the presidential palace in Aden this past week. Like what are you talking about? On Surala controls the Red Sea right now, there they don't need to escalate anymore in the Red Sea, but like that's what you're pointing to as did any mention this. On Surala knocked down yesterday, they shot down a Turkish-made drone yesterday. The Saudi Vestal Carriol drone was shot down. They also on Surala shut down and a patchy helicopter that was used. Look at this, this is a video from Yemen yesterday while hangsits at a football game giving you know the deranged speech with all the hand motions that he does. This is a video from Yemen shooting down a Saudi AH-64 helicopter yesterday. Watch this, here play this clip. Yeah and meanwhile the IRGC claim that Donald Trump's been begging them, "Can I please drop this?" This is what they said. They said we were approached by the Trump regime asking, "Can they drop a MOAB, a mother of all bomb, on pickaxe mountain where the Trump regime believes Iran is reconstituting a nuclear program that they have a major military facility because with Trump wants to win before the midterms. So according to the IRGC and maybe in the past you'd be like, "Come on man, that's not that." They're just saying that that would never happen. Just think about what they're saying though. They said Trump approached them and said we, the America wants to drop a MOAB, declare a victory and then use that to basically get out of the catastrophic war in Iran and say, "Look, we dropped the MOAB. Trump gets his Hollywood production." He says, "I dropped a mother of all bombs. Trump gets a midterm win." And then he pulls out and Iran's like, "No, we're not letting you drop a MOAB on our facility." No, and we don't think that you are in a strong position. You just should get the hell out of here. You've lost the war is what Iran keeps on saying. And IRGC spokesperson also said the following regarding the Trump regime's constant talk of MOABs, "Only barbaric civilizations could use the sacred word mother to name its most powerful bomb." That's what they're saying. And again, when Iran struck multiple tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and then you have Netanyahu going on state regime media fox. I showed you before what Netanyahu was saying to Israeli media. But here on state regime media fox, he said, "Look, look America. Iran is building intercontinental ballistic missiles and they are about to destroy you. They will have nuclear capable missiles any moment now. There we go. And so we need to destroy Iran to get there again. We need to do that." Even though Donald Trump said we obliterated the thing, the nuclear facilities last year. We need to do it again. So Netanyahu said, "Play this clip." They'll conquer in the Middle East, control the waterways of the world, control the oil supply and choke and then proceed to the next target, which is Europe, to the next target, which is you. That's why they're building intercontinental ballistic missiles to reach the United States. And they want them to have nuclear warheads. And then every single city in the United States, every single city, will be held hostage to the blackmail of these fanatics. And then Netanyahu, again, knowing that Trump's watching this, by the way, he's on the Mark Levin show, Mark Levin, Neil Conn, Mark Levin's like, "Let's just go in there, pickaxe and blah, blah, blah, blah." Mark Levin, what a scumbag that guy is. Netanyahu said, "Sometimes a leader needs to just take the hit and do the right thing," Trump's that kind of guy. Here's when Netanyahu says, "Let's play." To do that, sometimes a leader has to take the hit to do the right thing for future generations. And I think President Trump has done that with great conviction and great consistency. There you have it, folks. Let me know what you think. Kids subscribe. Let's all WTF America. It's out this week. Comes out this week. WTF America. So if you get it now, it'll arrive on Tuesday.
