Iran Increases Pressure on Trump as Strait of Hormuz Talks Begin

Iran has just issued a two-day war ultimatum to Donald Trump in the despicable Trump regime, and it was delivered by Iran's foreign minister, Iraqi, who is one of the more moderate figures in Iran, as one account notes, "If the most moderate figure in the Iranian government is fed up with the negotiations with Trump in the despicable Trump regime, I can only imagine how the hardliners in the IRGC must feel. Time is running out." Now here's the post by Iran's foreign minister, Iraqi, he writes, "American voters have made their choice. Time for the White House to make its own. Our two-day proposal stands. Meet the requirements, including end the war on all fronts, and you will see results. Or choose war and see our alert and battle-hardened warriors rain down hell. When Iran's foreign minister, rather than an IRGC spokesperson or an Iranian navy or army spokesperson, is talking about raining down hell, you see how fed up they are." And it's always projection and confession with Trump in the Trump regime when Donald Trump's like, "We don't even know who to talk to in Iran. What the Iranian leaders are complaining about is they can't even make sense of what Donald Trump is even saying. It's just absolutely incoherent. He claims the US controls the straight of Hormuz, when the US does it. He says we're very close to a deal. When Iran's like, "We don't even know what you're talking about. We laid out our conditions to open up the straight of Hormuz in two days." On day one, Iran has said, "You meet our seven conditions and those are you unfreeze our funds. You recognize our control over the straight of Hormuz. You have Israel leave southern Lebanon. You have a ceasefire over the entire region. You commit to development funds for Iran based on the destruction that you've created based on launching this catastrophic war to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. You do that. We're not going to talk about the nuclear file. We will open up the straight of Hormuz and it's that simple. We can get this done in two days. Meet our seven conditions. Day one, day two, the straight of Hormuz is open. If not, Iran will continue striking tankers as they did yesterday. Not one, not two, not three, but about four tankers were struck in the straight of Hormuz. Three were struck earlier in the day. One was struck at night. We have footage of what it looks like when one of those massive tankers were hit by Iran in the straight of Hormuz. Let's just play this clip right here. And so what the Trump regime has been reduced to at this point as well is begging China for help, begging Xi Jinping and China's foreign minister Wang Yi to help in negotiations with Iran because Trump has no clue what the hell he's doing and no one in the Trump regime knows what they're doing. And so Treasury Secretary Besson who likes to huff and puff and talk about operation economic outcast is so effective. And Iran is begging. They're begging us for a deal because we're just torturing them. We're torturing their people. Besson the war criminal brags about, well, you're now going to Xi Jinping and Wang Yi, the foreign minister of China, begging them for help by the way. At the same time, we learned that Jensen Wang of NVIDIA was apparently captured, if you will, by a honey pot operation from China. Someone named Alice Wang was working with Beijing in order to get access to the NVIDIA chips. I did a whole video about that last night. Go and watch that. Go and watch that. But in any event, Treasury Secretary Besson with Donald Trump's backing was asking Xi Jinping and Wang Yi, can you please use your influence to help Iran maybe do a deal with us? Can you help us? I mean, do you realize though that China and Russia are working on a new security architecture for the world as the US retreats into psychotic isolation as a result of Donald Trump's catastrophic wars against the world and trade wars against the world? And as China and Russia are working to build a new security architecture everywhere, and particularly in the Middle East as well, you're now begging China, who is like an adversary to help you out? I mean, it's like asking the opposite team in a game. Hey, can you help me score a goal on your own net? And they're like, okay, but first I'm going to score some goals in your net and run up the scroll. What are you even talking about? This is what the US that was once a superpower has been reduced to. Meanwhile, the IRGC spokesperson has been mocking Besson and mocking sent com Admiral Brad Cooper for saying that Iran was going to explode in two weeks and two weeks and two days. Brigadier General Hussein Mulhabi of Iran's IRGC, he's the spokesperson. He said, quote, they the United States claimed Iran's economy would collapse within two weeks. We saw that nothing of that sort happened. And it certainly will not happen. The US will never succeed in economically isolating Iran. And Tehran is prepared to respond more forcefully to American pressure if you keep on poking us now. We've been covering here in the Midas Touch Network. Iran has been a major figure in a lot of these bilateral and multilateral meetings that have been taking place. We saw motion Rosai Iran's top advisor to Ayatollah Moj Tabakome. He was meeting with Putin the other day at the same time, his top deputy was meeting with Wang Yi in China. Also Wang Yi from China, the foreign minister was meeting with the Sultan of Oman, a top Saudi in Iran, Saudi Arabian, a cabinet official and security advisor. And foreign minister Aragchi has been working the phones nonstop. He did about 14 phone calls with nearby countries and other players in the region and globally. Discussing support for Iran. And we've been talking about Iran's participation in these major multilateral forums, whether it was the BRICS block, whether it was the Shenhai cooperation organization, the former Soviet Union nation, meeting that took place recently in Turkmenistan. Russia has committed to more economic development in Iran, building out railway, building out gas pipelines they talked about in the past few days. In addition to nuclear cooperation, Russia has invested in the Bouchir nuclear plant in Iran. Also, other nuclear civilian power plants. Russia says it is investing in also providing surface to air missile capabilities, providing helicopter capabilities. And they're doing this in plain view, same thing with China. By the way, the reason, though, also that Nvidia story and the Chinese spy Alice Wong with led Chinese spy work, you know, who was with Jensen Wong. Why it's also a big deal too is when you look at a lot of the weapon systems that are used actually by Iran. And also by Russia and Ukraine and you actually deconstruct it. A lot of American semi-conductors end up in the weapons that are used by Russia, by Iran. And you're like, well, how do these American semi-conductors get there? Well, under the Biden administration, there was a reason why for national security, you had a lot of controls on the semi-conductor technology and where it could go under the Trump regime. Eventually, in January, they provided a full-fledged license to have these highly sensitive semi-conductor chips be sold directly to China. But at that point, China didn't need to buy it because they pretty much had it already. And basically, this Alice Wong set up these companies mega speed, speed matrix that basically was like small storefronts that were doing billions of dollars worth of transactions with Jensen Wong and the H-200 chips were going into mega speed and speed matrix these companies and then finding their way into China. What do you think was happening? And then these dual-use component parts are used across the board, including in my opinion, in my humble opinion. This is how some of these semi-conductors got into the weapons as well. As I noted before, multiple tankers were struck in the Strait of Hormuz by Iran. Once again, the U.S. did a strike on Iran. I should note, last night, there were reports of an explosion on Kesham Island in near the port of Bandar Amashar in southern Iran, according to the IRNA. That's Iran's kind of broadcast network. U.S. Air strikes were conducted against Kesham Island while all the blasts report in other cities are currently of unknown origin, perhaps Iran striking at some of those tankers. Many nights in Iran now, the U.S. would conduct like a single strike on an Iran anti-ship missile or surface to air missile. The pattern we would see is Iran strikes an MQM drone or an MQ-1 or an MQ-9 Reaper, or even some of these Lucas drones that the U.S. is using. Then it will give away the position of where these Iran surface to air missiles or if Iran striking the tankers, these anti-tank missiles that will give away their position. Then you'll usually see a U.S. strike on just one of the trucks. It's basically like a truck that's used to do this surface to air missile or anti-tanker missiles or these anti-carrier missiles. It's like a small truck and the U.S. will strike one of those and we've seen that happen multiple days. Here's a photo showing the plume of smoke rising from Kesham Island. By the way, going back to Foreign Minister, Aronji. He was giving an interview for Irib News, Iranians, broadcast network. And he was asked about, you know, the status of negotiations with the United States. And he was basically cracking up. He was laughing on live TV about the election results and how Donald Trump lost so badly. And so Aronji is like, well, I think the U.S. may have to get their bearings after the shock election results. Watch him here, play this clip. This is worth talking about millions of people hit retirement and discover. The hardest part isn't the money, it's the transition. Going from having a job, a schedule, an identity to what's next, what do I do? Who am I? Nobody prepares you for that. That's why I want to tell you about a resource from chapter. It's a four-part small group series for people figuring out what their next chapter looks like. Over two weeks, you meet four times online with the same small group, people navigating this exact same transition, led by a professional facilitator. Together, you dig into the real questions. Who am I beyond my career? What makes my days feel meaningful? Where do I find new connections? Their next groups kick off their first week in November. Groups are kept small, so spots are limited. If you're approaching retirement or recently retired, sign up at chapter.com/retirementgroup. You deserve a transition. That's actually supported. Now, I should note that Aron's ally, who's part of the access of resistance, the Houthi's Ansarala struck really hard in Saudi Arabia over the past 24 hours. We told you, look at that space. We expected that to happen. Why? Saudi Arabia working with its PLC back government in Aden, conducted massive strikes of the Ansarala Houthi capital of Sana, killing dozens of people in the Yemen Ansarala capital. Lots of children, lots of women were killed, not like even fighters. They bombed the actual city center itself, and lots of people were killed. So I said, Ansarala is going to strike hard and they did. So they struck the massive Aramco Tower, a huge skyscraper, like 30, 40 stories high, maybe even taller, in Riyadh. This is like a big massive building on the Riyadh skyline. And so Saudi Arabia claimed there were no strikes. All of the air defense systems worked, and it was just some debris kind of landed here and there. But there were about three videos that surfaced from Saudi Arabia showing the extent of the damage. Had these videos not surfaced, Saudi Arabia would have been able to cover up what Ansarala did in a major city center. So think about for the millions of people who live in Riyadh, and then tens of millions of people who live in Saudi Arabia, only three videos got out there public. Why? It is a crime in Saudi Arabia, punishable by the highest of highest penalties, including potentially death. They say that won't be the case, but it's possible. But like life imprisonment, if you do videos of these strikes, you get arrested if they catch you basically. So people are terrified to find these videos, but look at these videos. So you see for yourself, this is in the capital of Riyadh. And I want to point this out too, because can you imagine if the if Ansarala, if the Houthis are doing this, in the center of Riyadh, and Riyadh is unable to protect itself, if they don't have the interceptor capabilities. The last remaining ones went to the Netanyahu regime in Israel, by the way. Think about what Iran is capable of, if basically their allies Ansarala, who's less equipped, if they're able to strike at the heart of Riyadh. This was a test also to show. This was a show of strength to say, OK, look, if Ansarala can do this, take a look at what Iran's going to be able to do. Could you imagine the Trump regime starts striking bridges and infrastructure in Iran. And Iran starts to unleash its ballistic missiles. I know Donald Trump in this disgusting Trump regime wants to claim, Oh, Iran doesn't have ballistic missiles. They don't have cruise missiles. They don't have drones. Yes, they do. They have more drones than ever. They have upgraded ballistic capabilities. They have upgraded cruise missile capabilities. They'll be able to launch massive strikes right now on a scale from one to 10. The capabilities we've seen of Iran thus far, in terms of the escalation ladder. And we're talking on a scale from one to 10. We've seen three. Iran's capable of going to six would be devastating. I'm talking global economic depression. If Iran did 10, I mean, you're talking about Doomsday scenarios. And Iran has that capabilities. They have those weapons. And again, I'm not saying this to like glaze them. I just am giving you the facts about what their arsenal is, what their weaponry is. And I saw there were some reports about a Trump regime plan of what a ground invasion could look like through Iraq. And I'm skeptical. I mean, it's possible. There was a plan that was at least written that al-Zayedi Prime Minister of Iraq saw. But that's not a feasible plan. I mean, we don't even have the troops in the region to do that. We've got two aircraft carriers in the region, about 50,000 troops in the region total, maybe even less at this point. We wouldn't even have the capability to do that. If we wanted to do a invasion of Iran, which I'm against this catastrophic war from the outset, you would need to do a draft. Hundreds and thousands of soldiers would need to be drafted to go into this war. And you would have 30, 50,000 soldiers in America dying every month in this catastrophic war. If that's what, if the, I mean, Israel saying regime change, regime change, regime change. If you were really going to do regime change, that, which we should never do. If you had any chance of militarily talking about military strategy, you would need hundreds and thousands of troops at a time over and over again, and you would suffer all of those deaths. And again, we should never be in this catastrophic war. In the first place, Trump, Hexath Rubio, JD, Admiral Brad Cooper, in my view, they're all war criminals who should be tried at war tribunals because of their conduct and slaughtering little children, in my opinion. Okay. On Serala also announced that they were able to strike in eastern Saudi Arabia and Abkiyakh that they hit oil storage tanks over there, that they hit oil, oil storage tanks near Riyadh airport, that they hit other oil storage around also. Donald Trump spoke with CNN. Trump said renewed U.S. strikes on Iran are highly unlikely. If Tehran makes progress toward a nuclear deal and reopening of the strait of war moose. So Trump says that he's an idiot. Iran is not talking about the nuclear file. They're done talking about that. They see no reason why, why? Because they won the war. They're assessing the actual objective facts of what happened. They said, we're not talking about the nuclear file. So they're not there. That's never going to be part of their discussion. I just want everybody to know that. Okay. And then Trump says, it depends on whether or not they sign a very strong agreement. I would have necessary, but we would hit them really hard. He warned that U.S. forces remain ready saying, I've got three aircraft carriers here. They're fully locked and loaded. Pause. That's false. You have two aircraft carriers there. Okay. I mean, let's talk about the actual facts. You have the USS George H. W. Bush. You have the George Washington there. And you've now sent another aircraft carrier there, which is just going to relieve one of the aircraft carriers. So you're still going to have two aircraft carriers at the end of the day. And there are thousands of kilometers away. And so they're not fully locked and loaded either. Let me be very clear. There's missing a lot of munitions. And we don't have air bases in the reef. We don't have our military bases in the region and the base in Bahrain, which is the logistical hub was destroyed. That's why we use the one thousands of kilometers away in Diego Garcia because Iran destroyed the main logistical center in the Middle East that was used. Trump goes on to say that the U.S. could destroy 38 Iranian bridges within an hour. And that Iran retains only 10% of its missile capacity and 15% of its drone capability. Just 100% false. 100% false. They probably have the same if not more than when they started the war. It's not a usually expensive thing for them to mass produce these ballistics and cruise missiles and drones. They have more. Despite the threats he insisted most likely will not be necessary. They want to make a deal so badly. No, they don't. They want to do a deal that looks like the memorandum of understanding except without the nuclear file anymore because you pulled out essentially of the memorandum of understanding. And as soon as it was entered, Rubio took a trip to the Middle East. He did a deal with Israel and Lebanon that undermined the MOU where Israel was supposed to leave southern Lebanon. There was no funds that were unfrozen for Iran. And then the U.S. set up its own route in southern Oman and the strait of Hormuz, which is the area that Iran keeps striking those tankers. So Iran's like, no, we're not falling for this again. We're not talking about nuclear. We'll talk about opening up the strait that we control. You don't control. Here are the seven terms that I talked about earlier. That's it. Marco Rubio is on the tarmac yesterday. And he said the Iranian demands are simply not. not just unacceptable, but in some cases outrageous and ridiculous. And they're really not realistic. Why? Because he's saying what I'm telling you, their demands are, which Iran views as very realistic. Iran says we're putting the screws in you because we won. We see what's going on with your economy. We see what happened with the elections. We know that you don't control destructive hormones. You can lie and say more oil is getting out than before the war. That's not the case in any event, even if it was the case, the amount of money you have to pay for a VLCC, a very large crude carrier, to leave these straight up removes when you add up insurance and the daily rate. You're talking about a million and a half dollars a day. That adds 30 to 35 dollars per barrel of oil just on the cost of shipping and insurance at this point. When before, it was like wait, I mean, it wasn't even close to that. So even if you get out the oil at the same rate as before, it's so freaking expensive. You're paying so much more for it right now. That's the issue and you're only getting out about 10 million barrels a day. And before the war, it was 20 million barrels a day. That's just the reality. I'm just giving you that that's what the facts are. You heard what Rubio said, right? It's playing. Sometimes that's not possible, unfortunately, but if there's a chance to do it, we'll explore it right now. It hasn't been very productive because the Iranian demands are simply not just unacceptable, but in some cases, outrageous and ridiculous and really not real listening, right? I think I'll do my call. Now Marco Rubio also said that the US is acting defensively. So whenever we strike a wrong, that's defensive. So according to Rubio, we invade. And then if you attack us, we have to defend. We could go into your countries. And then if you dare strike us, we're just being defensive. And the thing is, Rubio, nobody believes that. Like, that's a crazy thing to say. It's not defensive when you invade. It's offensive. People get that. No matter what you think about it, we invaded the Trump regime. Invaded. That's pretty clear. You're playing this clip. Well, the US acts defensively. There's a threat to our forces in the region. We will act against those if there's a threat to shipping. We've been defending shipping for a while. And Rubio continues to play like the victim. We're just defending ourselves. No one believes that we're defending ourselves. Okay. When you're in somebody else's country and attacking somebody else, then you go, oh my god, you're shooting. Oh, I guess we're defending ourselves. Nobody buys that play this clip. More on Rubio over here where Rubio says, but Trump identified a very real threat to this country and he had to address it. That's why we went into Iran. Trump created, if anything, he created the threat because he pulled out of the non-nuclear deal that Obama did. The JCPOA during his first term where Iran didn't have nuclear weapons. Then last year, last summer, you claimed in 2025 operation midnight hammer that you obliterated all of it that all of Iran's nuclear capabilities were destroyed. Then you had to do epic fury to do it again. Is it like an anniversary? Every year, you have to re-obliterate. Obliterate means it doesn't exist. Even in Donald Trump's interview that he gave on 60 minutes and the 60-minute interviewer, I thought did a pretty decent job. Ross Dalf, that I thought did a good job. And he was like, so when do we get out of this? Trump's like, well, we control this trade of her moves. It's open. Everything is great. They don't have nuclear capabilities. Okay, then why are we there? If all of that's true, Donald, then why are we there? We shouldn't be there in the first place, but if you're saying that everything's good, then just get the hell out. Bring the aircraft carriers home. No, we shouldn't be there. Just stop it. And this is such a regime of fools that they don't know what the hell they're doing here. Play this clip. So you're not going to escalate the war now that the midterm is over? Well, I'm not looking to. I don't think there's any reason to. I don't think there's any reason to look. They still have nuclear material, right? They have nothing. It's buried under thousands of tons of rock. So what's the deal in the end with them? It gets the straight open because it's important. It's important to stress. The straight is open. We have ships going through. But the ships that are going through are being babysat by a large US military presence. So how do we make a deal that gets that, that gets that presence out of there? Not very expensive. We can just leave it there and definitely this whole thing. Those countries that we've protected are going to pay us back any and all costs that we've had for the war. Because without us, they wouldn't exist. Without us, Israel wouldn't exist. Let me tell you. Now, Donald Trump on the tarmac last night, deeply and well, sickly looking big puffy bags under his eyes. He's like, historically for history, this war in Iran's amazing. Historically for history. What does that mean? Historically for history playing this clip? I can tell you if I had it to do again, this historically for history, we'll go down as one of the best things we ever did because if they ever had a nuclear weapon, they would blow up the world. You know why? Because they're crazy. More of Donald Trump on Iran, he's like, if I want, I could blow him up right now. The problem is they'll never be able to rebuild it. I blow up the bridges and power plants. It'll take him long to rebuild. They have big bridges. Why do we have an idiot as the like the American people want this guy gone? It's very clear. In normal functioning, healthy, healthy democracies, when you have an election like we did, there's a new government that comes in totally. This guy doesn't get to stay in power. I understand that's not our system. But what the hell even is this? What are you talking about playing this clip? Well, then at some point they're going to be reasonable. Now I could go into blowing them up right now. The problem with that is you'll never be able to rebuild it. If I blow up the bridges and the power plants, the thing that takes is the hardest to rebuild of the big bridges. They have very big bridges. They had a big mountainous terrain and they're connected by bridges. And it take them years. It would take them 10, 12, 15 years to rebuild. Also power plants, second is power plants. The thing that second hardest is about to rebuild that puts an awfully big burden on the people. I don't like that. More of Donald Trump talking about Iran, where he's like, we won in Iran. It's just a question of closing it out now or later. We may wait. Some of their neighbors would prefer that. We just keep it the way it is. None of the neighbors prefer that. Every one of them, the mecca, we've seen them going to China, going to Russia, meeting in Iran. There was a meeting two weeks ago in Tehran with Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and and Saudi Arabia, Pakistan. They were all there. Turkey. They were all there in Tehran. They want you out. You're playing this clip of them. 48 minutes and we won in Iran. We won that in Iran. We may wait. The some of their neighbors would prefer that we just keep it the way it is. And again, we haven't lost anybody. No soldiers been lost. If you look at Vietnam and if you look at all these others, there were for many years with thousands. No one wants you there. And then Donald Trump said regarding U.S. Central Command putting out a reward. Remember I showed you the other day that sent composted on X, a $20 million reward. If you could tell the Trump regime where Iran's nuclear capabilities are. So the reporter asks, so why are you putting out? Then you can say you obliterated it last year. Why are you posting rewards on X? And here's what Trump said. Let's play it. I think U.S. Central Command is putting out a reward for information about Iran moving their nuclear materials. Do you have information? Is that a concern? Oh, yes. No. If they are, we want to know about it and we'll take them out. But we have not we have not seen it, you know, through space force which I created in my first hand. We're able to read the patch. Your name right over here. We're able to see anything. We know exactly what's going with pickaxe mountain as an example. We never hit pickaxe because there was no activity there. But we could do that in five minutes if we needed it. So that's where we're at right now folks. That was a big comprehensive update of everything we know right now. We'll keep you posted every step of the way. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million. We appreciate it. You were grateful for your thanks for watching. It's finally here WTF America. The book I wrote with my brothers is out now. It's about how we got into this hell and how we get out.
