Iran Strikes U.S. Base and Ships as War With Trump Escalates

Iran claims a successful retaliatory strike against U.S. naval vessels and five Iranian oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, following American attacks on civilian oil tankers. Iranian ballistic missiles, including advanced models like the Kaibar and Ahmad, were reportedly launched at U.S. warships and military bases in Jordan—such as the Prince Hassan and King Faisal Air Bases—where they bypassed U.S. Patriot interceptors. Despite Jordan’s claims of full defense, evidence suggests multiple direct hits and significant damage, contradicting official statements. The U.S. military has denied the attacks, but reports indicate that at least 30 additional injuries were overlooked in official casualty counts, with estimates suggesting total casualties near 3,000—far exceeding reported figures. Analysts argue the U.S. military’s use of expensive, ineffective interceptors—costing up to $1 billion—exposes deep strategic failures, while Iran's improved missile technology and scale of operations signal a growing asymmetrical threat. The situation is further framed as part of a broader pattern of U.S. mismanagement, including the dismissal of top generals and the Trump administration’s contradictory policies—like imposing new tariffs on Canada and propagating disingenuous narratives about "Zelda" and national strength. Critics contend that the U.S. response is both reckless and diplomatically weak, undermining global credibility. The conflict is described not only as a military escalation but also as a symbol of systemic incompetence and geopolitical decline, with calls for accountability and deeper analysis of U.S. foreign policy failures.

Iran is now saying it was able to strike ten vessels in the strait of Hormuz following the United State strikes against five Iranian civilian oil tankers yesterday afternoon. I showed you last night Iran's retaliatory strikes in Jordan against the U.S. Moafik al-Salti base, the Prince Hassan Air Base and the King Faisal Air Base in Jordan where those U.S. interceptors were not effective in stopping the massive, massive barrage of Iranian ballistic missiles. But now Iran is saying they were able to strike ten vessels in retaliation for the U.S. strikes on five Iranian oil tankers and the IRGC says that it struck the U.S. destroyers, the USS Delbert D. Black D.D.G. 119 and the USS John Paul Jones D.D.G. 53 with ballistic missiles in response to the U.S. strikes against Iran's civilian oil tankers. Now Senkham denies that this took place, but we have a lot of indicia that at least the strikes on the tankers in the strait of Hormuz that Iran says it hit. We believe that took place and we're getting a lot of reports out there that seem to indicate that once again Senkham is lying, but we're going to bring you this information as soon as we get it here at the Midas Touch Network also Senkham claiming that no U.S. troops were injured or killed. That's contrary to what we're hearing from people on the ground and we know that Senkham and the Trump regime has a very clearly documented history of lying about the casualty count. In fact, yesterday we learned that close to 30 additional injuries were reported and kind of snuck on to the list of casualties that are being kept on a separate set of books that don't relate to the war because the Trump regime says it's just miscellaneous operations. I mean, we believe by the way that the casualty count is closer to 3 to 5,000 even though the Trump regime now claims it's closer to 850 or 870 injured with 18 killed in action. I want to carefully go over with you what happened. I want to remind you so you have Senkham bragging about striking Iranian civilian crude tankers. How odd the proud United States Navy bragging about destroying crude tankers and the United States military is claiming they're doing that in response to Iran trying to strike U.S. aircraft carriers. So you're going after oil tankers belonging to Iran. The United States Navy is behaving like pirates, so very, very deranged behavior right there as well. But then Iran responded after Senkham published video that it struck these five Iranian civilian oil tankers. The IRGC ballistic missiles launched in Jordan hitting Muafik al-Salti airbase, Princesson airbase, and King Faisal airbase. We saw some cluster munitions that were used, which evaded those United States interceptors. But also as we've been talking about here on the Midas touch network, Iran has improved not just the quantity of its ballistic missiles, but the quality. Remember those so-called castle breakers we've been talking about here on the Midas touch network, the Kaibar Shaykhun ballistic missiles, those were used, the Ahmad ballistic missiles were used, the Qadar ballistic missiles were used by Iran, and we saw all of those in action. Now what appeared to be taking place is that for every one ballistic missile shot by Iran, the U.S. doctrine is fire two to four Patriot interceptors per incoming missile. The cost of each Patriot interceptor is about four to five million per interceptor. So you can kind of count and I'll show you the b-roll right here of the interceptors in action during the first two waves of Iranian ballistic missile strikes. Somewhere around 60 interceptors appear to have been used. So we're talking on the low end, 240 million dollars of our taxpayer dollars were used in these interceptors to 500 million dollars. Perhaps even as much as one billion dollars in interceptors were used, as the U.S. further dwindles its very low supply of Patriot interceptors. And as I noted, those castle breakers are able to avoid interceptors. In Iran strategy, first wave of ballistic missiles, you saw a lot of the interceptors by the United States work. Second wave of ballistic missiles, you saw those interceptors work by the third wave. The interceptors were not working anymore and were not even being fired. And Iran was having direct hits on all of those bases. Now, Jordan country claims that they were able to stop all of these ballistic missiles. And that except for two which hit in other areas and that there was no damage. But we've known over and over again that that's usually not true. And we have seen them just lie and Sencom continue to lie. So Iran claims 10 vessels were also hit. It says it struck eight oil tankers. And then it says that it struck the USS Delbert Black and the USS John Paul Jones. Traveling is stressful enough. You're at the airport juggling a coffee, your phones about to die.

When I want to show you this take a look at this is new footage different than when I was showing you last night. This is footage of an American patriot surface-to-air missile battery engaging a massive incoming salvo of Iranian ballistic missiles over Jordan last night. Didn't the Trump regime say that it runs out of weapons? Not only are they not out of weapons they've got more and the quality is better. And this is just the opening act. Iran has a massive inventory. Watch this for yourself here. Play this clip. [Music] [Music] [Music] And let me show you what was going down in Jordan where you had a bunch of young Jordanians they're at like a rooftop restaurant while the strikes are taking place and the Jordanians were celebrating the Iranian missiles over their skies as one individual notes this should scare the Jordanian monarchy more than the actual missiles because the people of Jordan are standing in solidarity with Iran over the monarchy's connection with the United States as particularly embodied by the weak and pathetic Trump regime the imperialistic nature of the Trump regime combined by the weakness the people see it for what it is there here play this clip right here [Music] And with all of that taking place, what's the Trump regime doing? Of course, attacking Canada, the Trump regime posting new tariffs against Canada because Canada responded dollar for dollar to the United States tariffs. So the Trump regime is tariffing Canadian dairy and Canadian alcoholic beverages. Okay, you want to show that they're not sending dairy into the United States or alcoholic beverages in significant quantities. And while all of that was going on, the White House posted, "Hey, listen, the legend of Trump, it's like Zelda." This is what they're doing. You can see for yourself just how pathetic it is playing this clip. And then there's this footage right here showing four medium range Iranian ballistic missiles making direct impact. You can see for yourself, let's play it. So you can see the Iranian response. The Trump regime strikes five Iranian vessels, Iran responds by striking 10 vessels and hitting Moafik, Faizel, and multiple other bases in Jordan. You saw for yourself what that looked like. We're going to keep you posted every step of the way here on the Midas Touch Network of these developments. But obviously, Donald Trump has no clue what the hell he's doing. Pete Hegsip, a failed Fox weekend host who couldn't run a veteran's nonprofit, a lifelong loser doesn't know what he's doing. The US got rid of all of its top generals. By the way, we should never have been involved in this catastrophic war to begin with with Netanyahu, which was done for Trump to cover up the child sex trafficking in the Epstein files. But you know, you fire all of your top generals during the war as well, all of you know, the people who know what they're doing. And now we have Hegsip and Trump and Admiral Brad Cooper of Sencom who's demonstrated himself to be completely incompetent and a total idiot. It's really sad to watch the United States. It's well, I guess this is the karma that Donald Trump gets just shocking, shocking. I guess not shocking when it comes to Donald Trump. We hit subscribe. Let's get to seven million subscribers.
