Iran has just made a major announcement about how it intends to further repel United States interests in the Middle East. This announcement was made both from Iran's top civilian and military leaders. This comes at the same time that both Egypt and the United Arab Emirates have indicated further involvement on the side of Saudi Arabia against Ansarallah in Yemen as the full-fledged regional war in the Middle East escalates. And as Donald Trump rants and raves like a lunatic, that quote, "The United States is beating the shit out of Iran." And quote, "While the United States military bases in the region have been destroyed, and while Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, and hit more tankers yesterday, as we've been covering here on the Midas Touch Network, so Iran's parliament leader, top civilian political official, MB Galibov posted the following message. The Persian Gulf data authority is coming to governments, funds, and firms in the region. You are kindly advised, MB Galibov says, "To give no resources to any AI or data company aiding invasions or killing children, no finance, equity, land, and energy, assist them and face our enforcement." Now, the Persian Gulf data authority is modeled after Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority, the PGSA with Oman wherein Iran has asserted control over the Strait of Hormuz with the PGSA, and they've stated any offending vessels that turn off their trackers, their AIS systems, or that seek to evade the Iranian route through the Strait of Hormuz. Those vessels, those tankers, get struck by the IRGC. Yesterday, we spotted a tanker being intercepted by IRGC fastboats. You can see that right here. Another tanker was hit by the IRGC Navy. We also heard the IRGC announcement over the radio frequencies for certain tankers to turn around yesterday, which they did, as we've reported since October 1st at the very least 30 tankers were hit by the IRGC Navy in the Strait of Hormuz, but as the UKMTO has reported, the majority of tankers that are struck by the IRGC are not voluntarily reporting to the UKMTO reporting agency. Thus, if you factor in the majority not reporting and we're aware of 30 reports, we can extrapolate quite easily that around 60, perhaps as many as 75 or 80 tankers have been struck in the Strait of Hormuz by the IRGC with the majority not reporting when they are struck. Now, last week, we similarly reported that motion RAZI, the top advisor to Iatola Mochetaba Komeine, also talked about something very similar to the Persian Gulf data authority. He stated that he is aware of about $2 trillion of US interests in the Middle East, which includes data centers, which includes the fiber optic cables and other cables that link to data centers, and are responsible for a lot of the internet connectivity and data connectivity in the area, and motion RAZI announced if another war breaks out, many cables, data centers, artificial intelligence facilities, and other sites in the region will be destroyed, and we will confront the enemy with much broader and more extensive plans. So, as Donald Trump and Netanyahu also raised the stakes and talk about dropping the moab, the mother of all bombs on pickaxe mountain, and say that there will be all out war after the midterms. Iran has taken these steps, not only will we control the Strait of Hormuz and take her flows, but we will also control data centers in the region, offending data centers will become targets of the IRGC, the way tankers are. So, whereas we are reporting right now, one tank or two tank or three tankers off the coast of the Gulf of Amman and the Strait of Hormuz have been struck by Iran. Soon we may be reporting one data center, two data centers, three data centers have been struck as well. And what we are seeing with this catastrophic war with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Ukraine strikes in Russia, data centers have become a major target in that war as well. And we've seen Zelensky strike the Yandex data center and other major data centers in Russia. We've seen Russia strike data centers and logistical centers in Ukraine and Iran will also at the foreign ministry level be holding a meeting today between foreign minister Aragchi and foreign minister Lavrov of Russia speaking of foreign minister Aragchi. He posted the following yesterday as well. Last time you wanted to quote finish the job, referring to Trump and Netanyahu, Iran emerged even stronger. Want to try your luck again? Be our guest, but be careful. We have unfinished jobs too. Netanyahu is driving America into another war to stay out of jail. Whatever the consequences for Israel, let alone POTUS. Motion-Raza again, top advisor to Ayatollah Mojtaba Komeney at the military security adviser level. Here's what he posted yesterday. The ramblings and repeated threats the ramblings and repeated threats of these days from American and Zionist officials do not change the reality of the field. Iran's armed forces have prepared a more devastating plan than the 12 and 40 day wars for a new adventure. Iran's new operational plan will not proceed with rules that they know should be noted as well. Iran's new defense minister said the following yesterday, our finger is on the trigger. We are ready for war with Zionist. We are not building new factories at the old locations. Instead, we are building them inside mountains and inside secure facilities. He goes on to warn Trump. You may want to evacuate troops if you think you're going to escalate at this point. He says that there will be devastating casualties and damage across the region if Iran is attacked again. And he says that if the Trump regime slogan turns into action, you will see the result and you will see it immediately. Should also be noted, Iran's chief of staff, Major General Abdul Ali said the following, "We are counting down the moments until you, referring to Trump and Netanyahu, make your foolish decisions. If you were capable of carrying out the threats you make, you would have done so by now." In every previous war you entered with the declared aim of overthrowing the Islamic Republic, partitioning Iran and destroying the country. Yet today, it is you who are facing destruction and collapse while a powerful Iran continues to stand firm. The US president has grown so old that he can no longer even get up from his seat. American society and the residents of the occupied territories know very well that you suffer from serious and fundamental weaknesses. You must understand that your next miscalculation will bring responses different from and more severe than anything you have faced before. You have repeatedly tested the determination and resolve of Iran's leadership, people, officials and powerful armed forces. It is a mistake to test what has already been tested. We are counting down the moments until you make your foolish decisions. Our next roar will be much closer, more devastating and impossible to intercept. Meanwhile, you had Netanyahu going on Israeli TV and holding an address where he displayed a map of the Middle East divided into different partitions during his speech to show which areas he believes Israel has influence over and which areas he believes are the threats. Netanyahu said if the regime recovers referring to Iran, it will rebuild its nuclear capabilities and its weapons and mass destruction. If we have to act alone, we will act alone. We cannot live with enemy states that declare their intention to destroy us, aspire to destroy us, and act to destroy us. What is victory? Netanyahu says it is breaking the enemy's power and its belief in its ability to pose a real threat. You influence the enemy first by breaking its capabilities, but by also breaking its spirit. That is what delivers the result. If you want to survive, prepare for war. Netanyahu said if you want to prevent war, prepare for war. If you want to prevent your enemies from striking, you strike them when necessary. And he goes on to say, "When I was a child, we used to get into fights in the neighborhood." And I discovered a very simple rule. Whoever strikes first has an enormous advantage. You go and punch the person who is coming to attack you and you strike first. An enormous advantage. We have changed our approach to an offensive proactive approach. That is why we enter the refugee camps. They were not refugee camps. They were terrorist fortresses. We enter them. We destroy them. And we are staying inside. In Gaza. You keep striking and striking and striking again. Eliminate the commanders. Eliminate the forces. They are very afraid in Gaza. This is the message that Netanyahu was saying. He also went on a, well, he posted a video of himself delivering a message to the American people. And he pitches to the Americans why the Iran war needs to keep on going. Why there must be escalation against Iran. And saying that the price that Americans are paying for gas and diesel is a small price to pay. And that this war is necessary. And that he and Trump are the people that need to further invade. This is his message that he delivered last night to the American people. A message from Netanyahu that our oil prices and diesel prices and gas prices. We shouldn't care about them. We just need to be tied by side with whatever Netanyahu says. This is his message. Play this clip. Let me say to the American people. If you're worried about today's gas prices. Think of what will happen if Iran gets nuclear weapons. Something that Donald Trump and I will never allow. And when that happens, when that threat of that regime disappears, gas prices will go down and how. But only under Trump. It's not going to happen with those who want to accommodate and appease these tyrants. Then he goes on to say how fortunate everybody in America is to have Donald Trump for the clarity and conviction of Donald Trump here. Play this clip. Say that the world has been fortunate. America's been fortunate. America's allies have been fortunate. Israel has been fortunate. And the Jewish people have been fortunate to have a leader of such clarity, consistency, conviction, and courage as Donald J. Trump. Donald, thank you. Netanyahu then said only Trump and I will destroy Iran's nuclear program together. You're play this clip. But I think America has been fortunate to have a leader of conviction, of clarity, of courage, who faces down this threat to America and to Israel. Those who chant death to Israel, death to America, this violent, murderous dictatorship in Tehran that wants to acquire nuclear weapons and the means to deliver it to every American city, you understand that. And you're not set back by internal criticism. You're focused, laser focused on the task of removing this threat from the this current generation of Americans from all future generations. You've shown remarkable consistency and remarkable leadership. Donald Trump posted yesterday a glowing endorsement of Netanyahu. And Donald Trump said that there's no better partner in peace for destroying Iran than Netanyahu for the United States. That's what Trump says. Trump lies and says that Iran has been systematically destroyed militarily and financially. And we will soon finish the job. But Trump says if Israel elects anybody other than Netanyahu, America will have to do the work ourselves and I'm not inclined to do it. So vote Netanyahu so that Netanyahu and Trump can further invade Iran together. That's the message from the Trump regime. And then you've had Brad Cooper, the head of Scentcom, the main commander of Scentcom, continuing to post videos, looking desperate and frankly looking dishevelled and sweaty and kind of out of it. And he says the U.S. controls the Strait of Hormuz. Hundreds of millions of barrels are getting out every week. 400 merchant ships are getting out every week. I mean, just making stuff up that isn't true. And just frankly embarrassing that he was once a respected guy that this is where we're at right now. Let's play this clip right now. Play it. 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 merchant ships have sailed through the strait. U.S. 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 prouder with 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. Now, as I also stated, the regional war continues to escalate. Yesterday, Egypt announcing that it would be providing military forces to Saudi Arabia. So that Saudi Arabia can get additional help in its efforts and its attacks on the Houthis and Ansarallah in Yemen. We've seen Ansarallah advancing east, encircling TIE city and pushing further east. UAE, their leaders had a meeting with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, even though there's been lots of tension between Saudi Arabia and the UAE. These royal families are feeling a lot of desperation right now as they've been exposed as the United States has run out of interceptors and weapons in the United States. Security umbrella in the region has completely collapsed and so you're seeing Saudi Arabia and UAE hold this meeting to describe what they will need to do in order to help the air proxy groups in Yemen try to fight back against Ansarallah. Here, play this clip of what that meeting looked like between UAE's leaders and the defense minister of Saudi Arabia's MBS's brother. Let's play this clip right here. And then you have Donald Trump's energy secretary Chris Wright mumbling and stumbling during his interviews. Are you comfortable with gas prices energy secretary Chris Wright? Let's play it. They were gasoline prices did come down. They never got remotely close. So are you comfortable with gas prices over five dollars ago? No, of course, I'm not comfortable, but I'm happy they're coming down. You would also admit that the Iran war has been bad for gas prices, right? Chris Wright. Here's what he says. Play this clip. Those refineries. Gavin Newsom has forced the closer to refineries in the last 12 months. The straight-of-war moves and the Iran war you would admit caused a lot of these problems. Absolutely. To prevent the Iranian regime from getting nuclear weapons absolutely comes at a cost. I don't know what he's talking about when he says prices are coming down. I'm not sure what world he is living in, but folks, a clear escalation taking place, regional war escalating. We're seeing the war obviously in Ukraine, Russia's invasion of Ukraine escalating over there. We're going to keep on following this every step of the way at the mightest touch network, but I wanted to give you the latest update there. So thanks for watching.
