Iran’s $2 Trillion Threat Raises Stakes as Strait of Hormuz Tensions Escalate

two trillion dollars in damages. That is what Iran is threatening to inflict upon Donald Trump and the United States. If the Trump regime escalates any further, the already catastrophic war against Iran. Speaking in an interview yesterday, motion Razai, who is the top advisor to Iran's Ayatollah Mojtaba-Komane says that he is aware of all of the data center locations that the US built with the royal families and these surrounding Arab nations and Iran will not hesitate to destroy each and every one of those data centers. Razai also talks about the cables that are underneath the Persian Gulf Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman that basically link all of the internet systems together and fiber optics and everything that helps kind of power modern civilization. Iran says, "Okay, we will cut those and we will inflict damage that way if you further escalate this catastrophic war. Don't test us." Now, Iran also launched military drills yesterday where they test-fired ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones showcasing that they still have a massive arsenal and they've improved upon the technology that they previously utilized in striking and destroying most of the United States bases in the Middle East. And this also comes at a time where in the past 24 hours or so, Iran struck three to four tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding area, including in the Gulf of Oman where two stationary tankers were struck and destroyed by Iran and some harrowing video coming out showing the destruction that Iran has inflicted on those tankers and there are two Indian mariners as of this recording who are still missing and we fear that they may not have made it after the Iranian strikes on these tankers. Now, what Iran also said that it would be targeting is if any of these tankers turned their AIS, you know, their trackers off, which they often do when they try to sneak at night and hug the Oman coast, passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran says, "You turn your trackers off." It's called the AIS. We will automatically presume that you are trying to violate Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz now and we will destroy your tanker. Also, Iran said, "We won't focus on the so-called ship-to-ship transfers, which has been used by sent-com to try to work with some of these tankers to avoid the IRGC strikes. The ship-to-ship transfers is when you have the smaller tankers hug the coast of Oman and then try to meet up with a VLCC, a very large crude carrier, which is positioned in the Gulf of Oman. So, you bring the smaller tankers that are filled up with oil and then you hook up a hose to the bigger tanker, the VLCC. And then you fill up the VLCC. It takes a long time, but the VLCC is outside of the Strait of Hormuz. And then it leaves, by the way, the VLCC then charges $1.5 million a day to transport the oil, which has added massive amounts to the costs already. Now, that process is very laborious. It's very difficult and there's not a lot of oil getting out of the Strait of Hormuz despite what the Trump regime and other propagandists are saying. But what I just described also costs a huge amount of money when it takes place." But Iran says, "We know what you're doing. We will strike those VLCCs and other tankers. No matter where they are, it doesn't just have to be in the Strait of Hormuz anymore." And then they demonstrated that capability over the past 24, 48 hours. And frankly, over the past 10 days, they've struck around 20 tankers or so in the Strait of Hormuz. I hope you don't think I sound like a broken record where I keep on reporting another tanker or another tanker or another tanker. But that's the reality of what is going down. All right. So let's take a look at what motion Razai had to say in his interview that he gave. This is what he said. Iran threatening $2 trillion in U.S. assets across the UAE and surrounding area in the Middle East. Take a listen. The United States has extremely expensive assets in the UAE and around the Strait of Hormuz. We have not yet included these assets among our targets. But if war breaks out, many of these cables, data centers, artificial intelligence facilities, and numerous underscites will be destroyed, their dollar value is almost beyond calculation. These cables, data centers, and AI facilities are worth more than $2 trillion. Because this weapon consumes enormous amounts of energy de-Americans, have relocated it from the United States in Europe to our region. Now the IRGC spokesperson posted the following image. We are waiting and it shows drones and missiles, anti-ship missiles pointed at the U.S. aircraft carrier. Motion Razai also posted the following message. Trump diluted by a fantasy of conquering Iran, launched one of the most idiotic wars in human history after being duped by Netanyahu. Now after the U.S. fleet failed to reopen the Hormuz, he has resorted to smuggling. The U.S. military has never sung to such a disgrace below. Motion Razai, the top adviser to the Ayatollah, is mocking the U.S. Navy for basically sacrificing its reputation as a powerful navy to becoming pirates and smugglers running routes of oil through the strait of Hormuz and not doing a good job at it as tanker after tanker is being knocked out by the IRGC right there. Here's a map just so you can see if some of the data centers and some of the infrastructure that surrounds Iran, you see how close it is to Iran. It is easy if the IRGC wants to to strike these facilities. I mean, look at what the Houthis on Sirala who has far less capacity in capabilities than the IRGC on Sirala as part of the access of resistance as Iran calls them. And you can see that the Houthis have been striking terminal three resulting in 12 deaths. Three hunt close to 320 injuries in the Riyadh airport, the King Khalid airport over there. The King Fod airport nearby was also shut down recently. Terminal four was struck yesterday at that Riyadh airport. But look, I mean, you've got Microsoft, you've got G42, you've got press site, you've got AIQ, you've got, I mean, look at all of these major data centers that are in the area. Now, motion Rasi also said in that same interview that the Trump regime has been begging Iran for a deal. But he says we are rejecting the deal until all of our terms are met. Rasi posts, the U.S. has agreed to some of Iran's seven conditions, but we consider its response in adequate. Iranian diplomacy has changed and there will be no return to the status quo anti to remind you of what the seven conditions are ceasefire on all fronts, but that also means Israel Netanyahu withdraws from southern Lebanon. And the ceasefire also is involving the Iraqi resistance, which is linked with Iran, a ceasefire that the Houthis will be protected. And the ceasefire involving Hamas and Israel moving out of Gaza and the West Bank as well and leaving southern Lebanon, complete lifting of all sanctions against Iran, unfreezing Iranian assets, about 12 to 13 billion dollars, compensation for war damages, 300 billion dollars, cessation of military threats, removal of maritime restrictions, clarification or confirmation that the straight of Hormuz belongs to Iran. Here's IRGC's motion, Rasi, in that interview. Here's what he had to say, rejecting the U.S. response to Iran's demands. Here play this clip. The Americans have approached us through three different channels, Pakistan, Qatar, and even Iraq. They asked us to present our proposals to them, about two weeks ago. We announced seven conditions to the Americans. We made it clear that unless they fulfilled these conditions, the straight of Hormuz would not be reopened to them, and there would be no negotiations. The Americans have now responded to us and their response, they accepted some of our conditions when others remained unclear. So the Americans have given us an answer. We are not in the process of responding to the Americans. They have responded to us, and we consider their response inadequate. They must clarify the issues that remain unclear to us. The question is whether they can resolve these ambiguities so that the next stages can begin, or whether they cannot look. A control over the straight of Hormuz represents enormous national wealth and a major national asset. By this, we do not simply mean closing passage and collect tank transit fees. Our interests go far beyond that. Now this is some of the harrowing video I've been talking about. This is footage right here from an oil tanker that Iran targeted for violating the Strait of Hormuz play this clip. Here is another tanker that Iran's struck let's play this clip over here. IRGC released this footage of the UAE own tanker Petro Dolphin after it was struck by a projectile play this clip. Another video of the Petro Dolphin tanker over here let's play this clip. More footage of an oil tanker on fire as well you can see for yourself with that look like let's play this clip right here. In some of these tankers have 750,000 to 1.5 million barrels of oil to put that in context. The big rush of diesel deal that Donald Trump's been bragging about or breaking in all of this Russian oil, this Russian diesel Donald Trump says that's basically just one tanker. I just described the IRGC striking four tankers in the Strait of Hormuz in surrounding areas in the past 24 hours. Not a lot of diesel but what Donald Trump was trying to do with Russia was a mafia protection racket to then say to Zelensky you can't strike the Russian refineries because I've got to deal with Putin so if you strike them we're going to not help you anymore and Zelensky like you're not helping us so what do you even talking about but I digress I did another video on Ukraine so as I noted Iran ran these military tests yesterday showing the capabilities that it has the F4 the you know and it's also showing the Iranian aircraft that still exists. No Donald Trump's like we've destroyed the Air Force we destroyed their missiles. You didn't they in my view have more ballistics, more cruise missiles, more Shahid drones. Now I think they've upgraded to the Garen-4 Garen-5s with the Russian technology Iran supplied the original technology to Russia the Shahids, Russia upgraded it jet-powered Garen-4 hybrid cruise Garen-5 and I think Putin gave that to Iran they shared it and so Iran has that. Let me show you I'm going to show you three videos right now of the Iranian ballistic missile test drone test and the airplanes that they showed there they're fighter jets clip one let's play it clip two let's play it clip three let's play it did you see that Phantom F14 and MiG 29 and it looked like there was an F5 as well in this guy did you see that this was last night Iran displaying the drones and it's nightly gathering right here in Tehran you can see for yourself let's play it Iran was mocking Netanyahu so UN isolation and Tehran's revolutionary square you can see for yourself what that looked like as well also we're seeing some footage right now of what it looked like when on Sirala the Houthis were able to strike King Khalid the King Khalid airport in Riyadh the capital of Saudi Arabia I'll show you what this looks like to show the B-roll of what that looked like as I noted before the King Fod International Airport in Damam Saudi Arabia was also targeted by on Sirala now MBS relied on Trump's protection but Trump's out of interceptors for himself Trump's out of weapon I mean Trump just lies about everything I got that I mean utter weakness utter pathetic behavior by Trump MBS tied his fate to Trump and I think MBS is under a lot of pressure I think the Saudi-Royal family is under a lot of pressure right now more broadly more systemically based on what we're seeing with on Sirala now I'll share some other I want to share a few more data points with you I think this is an important point as well so I mentioned the Russian diesel fuel deal with Trump Russia doesn't have diesel surplus to give the United States Ukraine is struck most is destroyed most of it that's why Russia has a diesel export ban it doesn't have it for its own people so what diesel is Russia selling to the United States when Russia is low on its own diesel for its people as I noted before very small quantity not a lot not a big amount not a big amount at all as I said it's like one tanker two tankers worth of diesel is the whole deal if it even happens but take a take a look at this the diesel fuel Russia is now exporting to the United States at Trump's request may have originated from Iran as Russian oil refineries are largely unable to produce diesel because of Ukrainian attacks Russia has been importing most of the diesel it needs from Iran in September thousands of Iranian tanker trucks were spotted in various regions of Russia including Ryazan carrying Iranian diesel Russia may be buying Iranian diesel and reselling it to the United States if so Trump's attempt to lower US energy prices and deceive American voters is putting money into the hands of Russia and Iran's Islamic regime duh I mean we know that no matter what Russia provides Iran with technology with intelligence with weapons Iran provides Russia with that as well and you know when the Trump regime is like we've got an impenetrable blockade outside of the straight everyone well you have one aircraft carrier right now the USS George Washington it does appear the USS George HW Bush is leaving Puket Island and it probably will join the sent-com location in the Arabian Sea but the one main tanker right now the USS George Washington it's a thousand kilometers away from Iran it's very far out in the Arabian Sea but okay you know there's other ways that oil can move right I mean Iran can take the oil from Iran and it could drive it it's certainly more inconvenient but it could take it it could put it in trucks and it could drive it to Russia it could drive it to China it could drive it I mean duh there's not only one route also it could take other waterways other than the straight up from look at a map people let's look at where Iran is on a map so with all of that happening I'll share this with you as well Russia's Rosatom company says 135 Russian staff are now back at Iran's Bushier nuclear plant up from 20 who stayed after the February evacuation after the Trump and Netanyahu invasion Rosatom evacuated 600 staff when the U.S. Israeli strikes took place so Russia has a JV with Iran for a nuclear plant the Bushier plant and Russia announced months ago that it was and after the catastrophic war in Iran started that it was investing billions of dollars in more Iranian nuclear plants Russia and Iran have very public Google it nuclear deals together not just the Bushier JV but also other ones that they're building right now so with all of that is background Treasury Secretary Bessent what a loser this guy is he goes on state regime media fox yesterday and he's like I don't know how do you say crying uncle and farce but Iran's gonna cry uncle what are you talking about you loser here playing this clip and I don't know what the I don't know what crying uncle is in farce but they're gonna be crying uncle you know they they are collapsing they can't pay their soldiers and and you go back to September 24th guess what Bessent said the same thing September 24th playing this clip for in terms of constructing and cutting off the financial oxygen to them and I don't know whether it's gonna be a week a month or two months but they're going to yell uncle but by the way you go back to April Bessent said Iran was going to to surrender its pipes were so congested with oil because the blockade was so successful. Last April, he said this. Iran had three days to live. Remember when Trump and Besson said Iran had three days, that sounds awfully a lot like in 2020 during COVID, when Trump said there's only gonna be one case like a miracle it's gonna go away. It's gonna be an Easter miracle you watch in the summer. They heat destroys the COVID. Remember he would just lie about, he just lie, all he knows how to do is lie. Every word sounds syllable from the scumbag, from the sex predator, from the felon, from the disgusting human being. Every word's a lie, it's all a lie. He's a sicko. He's a sicko liar. And then Besson concludes by saying Iran has no oil on the water. They have negative cash flow. Okay, there's oil other places. You idiot, you idiot, they're idiots. They're the dumbest, you're the dumbest people ever. You're gonna play this clip. - Iran zero. Iran now has no oil on the water. We have cut them off.
