Iran's top military leaders just delivered a brutal message to the Trump regime. They said they're ready for war that they believe that Trump and Netanyahu will imminently invade. And they're saying, take a look at the military tests we've done over the past five days. We have more ballistic missiles, more cruise missiles, and more drones than before the war started. If you want to test us, the Iranian regime is saying go ahead and test us. Also, the Iranian regime leaking out to their state media that Donald Trump asked for permission to use a moab, a mother of all bombs, to drop on pickaxe mountain in order to try to declare a victory and then basically withdraw and enter into a deal with Iran. Can we just do it and show that we blew up pickaxe? The Trump regime was allegedly requesting to which the Iranian regime is like, no, we're not going to let you blow up pickaxe mountain. And that's where the Trump regime claims that Iran may be reconstituting a nuclear program over there. Hey, Trump regime, you may want to look at your buddy Putin who you just further removed sanctions associated with the Lindsey Graham sanction act on because they're bragging about building nuclear facilities with Iran. Iran also responded as well by building massive trenches around pickaxe mountain saying, we're ready for a ground invasion. If you send special troops or special forces, we are ready for those troops. And so here is what Iran's military leaders were saying. More Tiza Gorgi is saying the following, the US asked Iran for permission to strike Iran's pickaxe mountain nuclear site without retaliation and to do it in like a performative way. So Trump can declare a victory and then just say, all right, we're done. We're going home. All good. Iran rejected the request per the Iranian broadcast state media correspondent more Tiza Gorgi. He said Trump statements today point to war within the next 24 hours and that Iran's military forces are in a state of complete readiness. Also, we know that Donald Trump is heading to Mar-a-Lago. He's apparently landed in West Palm Beach airport his first visit since May 1st. That's his safe space where he previously launched the war. We're also hearing from Israeli media Netanyahu's regime leaking out that they believe Iran's engaging in a preemptive strike. So they said, we need to do the preemptive strike before Iran's preemptive strike. That was the same thing that Trump and Netanyahu said before they got involved in the catastrophic war back in late February to begin with now. Remember when Donald Trump was on state regime media newsmax the other night and he said, oh, we might drop a moab, a mother of all bombs on pickaxe. Well, apparently behind the scenes with the Trump regime was trying to negotiate with Iran, which Iran just rejected is to be able to drop the moab to have this big, you know, Hollywood scene and say, look what we did. And Iran's like, no, you're losing this war. We see what's going on with the price of oil in the past 24 hours. As Iran has struck at least 30 tankers in the strait of Hormuz since October 1st, we believe that number may be actually more like 60 to 75 tankers. I'll explain why in just a moment, the price of gas right now, rather the price of oil is over $110 a barrel, $112 a barrel at some points yesterday. So Iran's like, no, we're implementing our plan. You are flailing. We see the inflation reports in the US. PPI at 6.3 percent, CPI at 3.7 percent. And this is what Iran said, okay, you want to economic outcast us. Look what we're doing to you. And so I'll remind you, Donald Trump was on state regime newsmax. Here's what he said about dropping a moab, a mother of all bomb on Iran. Iran's like, no, we're not okay with that. Here, play this clip of what Trump said. Let's play it. Now there are reports today that you're considering using the mother of all bombs, maybe after the midterms. And I just want to know what that means. Well, the mother of all bombs is not nuclear. Okay, not tactical nuclear. No, it's not nuclear at all. This is just a extremely large bomb. It's like a tiny nuclear bomb. But the mother of all bombs is one big bomb, but it's not nuclear. Now when you use nuclear, we don't have to. With the greatest nuclear power in the world, we have more and nuclear than Russia, Russia's second China's third. But what Iran did do last night is Iran blew up another oil tanker. Iran claims it was blown up with a mine in these straight-of-war moves. It's possible it was a drone. I think Iran wants to emphasize that these tankers are hitting mines as a way to intimidate more tankers into, you know, even traveling. I mean that they're probably intimidating already with all the drones hitting these tankers. But you can see right here, Iran just blew up another tanker in the straight-of-war moves. It had over two million barrels of oil on board. And then Iran released the following video. Let's play it. Right now, as I said that I believe it's actually more like 60 tankers. That Iran has struck in the straight-of-war moves. Here's why the reporting entity called UKMTO, you know, when we show you those UKMTO advisories, a tanker has been hit, a tanker has been hit. Well, that relies on voluntary reporting by the tankers. The Trump regime and the tankers have been covering up when they've been damaged. UKMTO has said as much. They said while we've reported around 30 tankers since October have been struck in the straight-of-war moves, they said the majority of tankers are not reporting when they are struck or damaged. So if the majority are not reporting and 30 tankers have reported, you can extrapolate that there's probably been over 60, 65, maybe 70 tankers struck in the straight-of-war moves since October. And if you've been following our reports, we've been pinpointing all of those. So that 70 number sounds more realistic. And I guess it is finally being demonstrated by what the UKMTO just said right there. Now, Iran is also figuring out ways to evade the so-called blockade that the Trump regime has anytime Donald Trump's like, it's impeter-tribal. It's impossible to get through our blockade. It's like there's one aircraft carrier right now. The USS George Washington, although the George H. W. Bush will be arriving soon, it was in Poket for a little bit. It's going to be there probably very, very shortly again. But it's about 500 kilometers to a thousand kilometers away. Iran's able to evade that with some ship-to-ship transfer maneuvers of its own to kind of hide the Iranian flag or the Iranian shadow fleet with other tankers and cut deals with other countries or companies in the region to basically trade. We'll let your tanker go if you hide some of our oil and your tanker. So we've been seeing some of that. There's also something called the Caspian Sea. And then there's also land routes and train routes and trucking routes that Iran can take in other areas other than the strait of Hormuz. And also, even CENTCOM's Admiral Brad Cooper has stated that Iran's been working with some of its militia groups and access of resistance groups in order to hide money and transfer money back and forth. Now, this was a real humiliating moment for Admiral Brad Cooper yesterday. And this guy who was once a well-respected admiral, like truly he was well-respected and now this guy's viewed as a clown in the military community. It's really sad to see Cooper did a video yesterday and said that we've got 400 ships have sailed through the strait of Hormuz in the last seven days alone. He said that a hundred million barrels of crude oil have gone out of the strait of Hormuz during the same period. And it's like, what are you talking about? There has not been maybe 40 ships, not 400. The numbers that they're saying are so far-cycle and he's like, we control the strait. If you control the strait, then put a navy destroyer in. Then put a aircraft carrier closer. You don't. We don't control the strait. Stop it when you say things like this. It just erodes whatever shred of credit. There actually there's no shred of credibility. But it's just absurd when you say things like this, play this clip. Let me be clear, the strait of Hormuz is controlled by the United States and our regional partners, not Iran. And it remains open for business. Over the last seven days alone, about 400 merchants have sailed through the strait. US forces have also assisted Gulf partners in shipping over 100 million barrels of crude oil during the same period. Adding to the more than 1.3 billion barrels of crude, we have helped regional allies ship through the strait in recent months. None of this would be possible without the bravery, dedication, and professionalism of America's men and women in uniform who continue to do tremendous work each and every day. I couldn't be proud of their efforts, and I know the American people share in that same pride. To all our service members, stay focused, keep up the great work. Thanks so much. - Right, because the Trump regime purged our top military leaders like former US Army chief of staff, General Randy George, who warned before the war, back in December of 2025 that there would be critical, patriot, and bad missile interceptor issues and deficiencies and shortages through 2030 if we got involved in more catastrophic wars. He knew, and he was pushed out by Hegsith. He was also pushed out by Hegsith because he supported diversity and actually promoting people within the military who were qualified, and Hegsith would be like, well, if they're diverse, then we can't, if they're black, or if they're women, we can't promote them, and they got into fights over that as well. I talked about more, so there was a tanker hit last night, as I noted, in the Strait of Hormuz. Yesterday, during the day, there was one, maybe two tankers hit. The day before that, a tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz, and there was 2,500 containers on one of these vessels that was hit, and it had all of these French perfumes and floating iPhones. Let me show you what that looked like over here, play this clip. More B-roll of what that looked like when IRGC two days ago struck one of these container ships with 2,500 containers aboard, and you saw all of these iPhone 18s are all over. Iranians are selling the iPhone 18s and they're displaying the iPhone 18s right now. And while all of this is taking place, you got again, gas and diesel hitting record highs, and you had, you know, even, you know, the Trump regime and Israeli regime, Netanyahu regime, they recognize that Iran has the same ballistics and this, in more, perhaps ballistic missiles, ballistic missile launchers, cruise missiles, and drones than even when before the war started. But Donald Trump is out there just, you know, doing what Donald Trump's doing, you know, lying, saying it's not a war, it's a military exercise. It's just an exercise, everybody. Here's what he said at his deranged speech in Dalton, Georgia, at the Dalton Municipal Airport, play this clip. - Market means 401k, it means a lot of other things, it means jobs. So we have the highest stock market in history, and this is with the war, but it's just, it's a military exercise, okay? It's a military exercise. And then he said, the thing about the Middle East is if you're ever in doubt about somebody's name, he said, just call him Muhammad. He said, that's this line, just call him Muhammad. Here, play this clip right here. - You know, if you're in doubt about somebody's name from the Middle East, just say Muhammad, you had about a 65%. - Well, there you have it, everybody. Let me know what you think about all of this. War definitely seems imminent, you know, it's possible by the time this video gets released, just based on how quick things are moving, there may be massive escalation.
