Trump’s Iran Strategy Raises Fears of Wider War and Global Economic Fallout
20m 3s
The transcription highlights a growing global crisis driven by false intelligence and escalating military actions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran. Wise is presented as a reliable financial tool for global money management, offering transparent exchange rates and no hidden fees. Meanwhile, claims that Iran is preparing to strike U.S. and Israeli targets are widely circulated, including by Trump and Netanyahu, who are pushing for preemptive military strikes. This includes U.S. aircraft carriers, such as the USS George Washington and George H.W. Bush, rearming with bunker busters and standoff missiles in the Arabian Sea, indicating imminent military action. Iran, in response, is expanding underground military bases and desalination facilities—critical for survival in the desert—posing a threat to regional infrastructure. The U.S. military presence in the region is severely weakened, with bases destroyed and interceptors depleted, making a defensive response highly unlikely. Experts warn that any attempt at regime change would require massive ground forces and lead to catastrophic civilian and military casualties, not just through bombing but through prolonged warfare. The speaker strongly condemns the war plans, calling them reckless and immoral, and urges accountability and a return to diplomacy. The piece also promotes the book *WTF America*, which details the path to democratic recovery from current political turmoil.

Donald Trump and Netanyahu are making fatal moves towards imminent escalation of catastrophic war in Iran. As noted yesterday, the Trump regime sent an internal memo and leaked it to the press, saying that Iran is about to strike all of the United States embassies in the region. And as a result, the US and Israel may need to take preemptive action against Iran. Meanwhile, Netanyahu is going back to the same playbook, and he's saying, Iran is reconstituting its nuclear weapons capabilities. And it's about to drop a nuclear bomb all throughout the Middle East and the United States, unless we strike Iran imminently. Let me show you what the Wall Street Journal is reporting, as they are channeling this false flag into this report. They write the following. US evacuates mid-east outposts after suspecting Iranian plot to target Americans. This intelligence from the Trump regime comes at the same time, surprise, surprise, as the Trump regime prepares to restart military operations against Iran. US intelligence assessments suggest Iran is preparing to attack Americans in the Middle East, and it has now reached, quote, "advanced stages." US officials are telling the Wall Street Journal, citing a Friday memo from the Director of National Intelligence, Jay Clayton to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The memo says Iran has substantially increased efforts to target US personnel with lethal plotting at advanced stages in both the Middle East and certain other countries. Didn't I tell you when they leaked that memo, what they were going to do, and here they are. They're doing it. And then you have Netanyahu on the eve of the Israeli elections, which is just a few days away, where Netanyahu's LaKood party looks like it is about to lose these elections. Netanyahu on the verge of losing power. By the way, we saw massive anti- Netanyahu protests all throughout Tel Aviv last night into today as well. Netanyahu getting more desperate than ever. Now, he's saying Iran has just restarted its nuclear program, and it tends to destroy Israel within a very short time. Quote, Iran has restarted its nuclear program. It wants to destroy us within a very short period of time. That's when Netanyahu was saying as they approached their election day, IDF chief at the Israeli Defense Force Chief of Staff, Yalza Mir has warned that resuming the war this close to two days election to Tuesday's election will force the vote to be postponed indefinitely. But that also seems to be what Netanyahu is looking to do. Meanwhile, you have Trump regime and Netanyahu regime proxies all on state regime media. Like you have the kabad, a Bel Air rabbi, high immense demanding Donald Trump attack right now, attack Iran. This is what they're showing on state regime media folks. The propaganda is next level as the Trump regime and the Netanyahu regime are trying to escalate this thing. Look what they're showing on Fox. Let's play this clip right here. He has to do something, and he has to go and bring it into the Iranian regime as best as he can. No more negotiations. And the reason why I say he has to do it, because if he doesn't have Congress, he doesn't have the purse, and he has to do things before January. January is going to be his deadline. This is his time to do it. He has Israel ready to roll. He has Saudi Arabia, believe it or not, ready to roll. We got to get rid of the Houthis and all these are the little proxies. He must do it by then. One last thing about the president. He waited and waited and waited. Was it a good thing? Was it a bad thing? I don't know. We'll find out down the road. But there's no more waiting. Now is the time. We have to allow the people to get their chance to take over the government. Meanwhile, Israel has carrying out strikes, air strikes on two warehouses in Iraq, storing Chinese-made man-paded systems that recently seemed to have been transferred from Iran to Iran-backed militias, the Iraqi resistance groups within Iraq. But it's believed that Israel destroyed a large shipment per Iraqi officials to a shark out of SWAT media outlet. It is the first Israeli strike on this Chinese equipment in Iraq recently. The strikes occurred shortly after the weapons arrived last week, which are heat-seeking man-paded systems designed to counter low-flying aircrafts. Part of secret shipments from China to Iran, it is believed. Now, at the same time, the Wall Street Journal published footage of the USS George Washington re-arming at sea recall. The U.S. now has two aircraft carriers in the Arabian Sea, about a thousand kilometers from Iran. You have the USS George Washington, which was previously deployed in the Pacific. That was moved from the Pacific when you had the USS Gerald Ford. And then you had the USS Abraham Lincoln in that order. They left after being out on their deployments for a very long period of time. So you had the George Washington, and now you have the George H.W. Bush. The George H.W. Bush was recently in Pouquet, was in Thailand, and now came back. You now also have the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which just took the trip to Japan. The Theodore Roosevelt will be joining the George Washington Supercarrier, as well as the George H.W. Bush. You'll have three aircraft carriers after the midterms, and the Wall Street Journal published this footage of the USS George Washington re-arming at sea. The amount and type of munitions being loaded would be utilized in the imminent strike campaign that Trump and Netanyahu are planning. Strike missiles, penetrating bombs, and such. These bunker busting bombs. And we'll show you what this looks like over here. This is the footage over here where you'll see helicopters lowering a 4,800 pound bunker buster onto the U.S. aircraft carrier over here out in the Arabian Sea. Folks, we're talking about the GPU 31 bunker busters, and these other massive, massive munitions. This is what the Trump regime is threatening to unload on pickaxe, mountain, and other areas in Iran. Let me show you what the Wall Street Journal just published. Let's play this clip. We followed Commander Brian Garcia, known as the Gun Boss, as the ship received a large shipment of standoff missiles and bunker buster bombs. We have some things that are coming over. They're about 4,800 pounds. So are these being brought under the ship by the helicopter? Yes, ma'am. So these will get stacked up and when they're ready, put them on the wheels and be ready to go. Many of the munitions being dropped off are designed to penetrate ground targets, hinting at plans for a broader bombing campaign. Right now, what you're seeing is just a various weapons and missiles and bombs. This is a bunker buster on skits. We call this rolling stop. Rolling stop just means it's easy to get when the mission set calls. We're able to come down and grab it and shoot it to the roof using these elevators. So you put the munitions out on the elevator and shoots to the top. Yes, ma'am. What is this one? So this one is the bunker buster. So it's a GV31 Victor IV. It's made for hard, initiated targets. We're getting more of these weapons right here and a couple of other items that they feel we're gonna need for whatever the mission set sets for here in the future.

Meanwhile, the head of national security for the Iranian Parliament Ibrahim Azizi, he posted a map of Israeli desalination facilities and he wrote, "Be aware that in the event of any action against our national security and interests, [BLANK_AUDIO]
The depopulation of the occupied territories would take less than an hour. He also writes, "Whatever the results of your elections may be, we have no doubt about your hostility." That's what Iran's national security chief in the parliament is saying. We are ready to wipe you off the map in response to any operational misstep. Now, it should be noted that because the Middle East is a desert, the way they've relied on getting water to people needed for their populations to survive, are these desalination facilities. Now, if war is escalated on Iran, Iran's at all pence are off, desalination facilities, data centers, cables that are underneath the straight of Hormuz, that connect the data centers and internet internationally, other US infrastructure and related infrastructure. The US military bases in the region are all pretty much destroyed from the last round of escalation. The Midas touch network ran an exclusive report where we showed you that most of those bases are completely and utterly destroyed at this point in the region. But you have here a ZZZ showing the desalination plants in Israel and also we know there are desalination plants across the area also, which would be susceptible to these strikes. For its part, Iran has expanded its underground air bases and remember I showed you a few days back the intricate tunnel networks with Iran's new drones, its ballistics, and its cruise missiles. While Iran is now showing off what its underground air bases look like, its rebuilding, its Eagle 44 underground air base in the Hormuzgan province near the straight of Hormuz. This is what they just released this clip. Meanwhile, the Russian embassy put out the following message, neither embassy staff nor specialist at Bouchier nuclear power plant have any plans to evacuate. So Russia has a joint venture with Iran in the Bouchier nuclear power plant where they co-own this power plant. Russia has a lot of staff that works in this nuclear power plant. Russia is also developing other nuclear plants with Iran at the same time. The Trump regime is sucking up to Russia. There is a tanker bringing Russian diesel to the United States while Russia is clearly allied with Iran from both a military, economic and overall regional stability as they refer to it. It's a political, broader strategic partnership that exists there with all of this taking place. I should also note, you know, Iran's been striking, tanker, tanker, tanker, tanker, tanker in the straight of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman, deep in the Persian Gulf. I mean, we're talking east of, you know, a Fuji era. We're talking east United Arab Emirates. We're talking Dubai, kind of more of the western area. We're talking in the straight of Hormuz. We're talking off the port of Iraq. And so one of the things we saw is this very important desalination facility belonging to the United Arab Emirates. It's right by a massive oil spill. I mean, this whole area, as you might imagine, with all of these oil tankers being blown up in the straight of Hormuz and in the Gulf of Oman, the oil is everywhere right now. And so it's significant because that oil can contaminate what goes into the desalination plants and that could result in these desalination plants being shut down. Other things to note, on Serala, the Houthis made a major announcement yesterday. We can't fully confirm all of this, but we can confirm that the Houthis did indeed make some major strikes throughout Saudi Arabia. On Serala, the Houthis claimed that they hit more pumping stations in that east west pipeline that brings the oil from one side of Saudi Arabia, the east side to the west side and moves it over there. And we know that some prior pumping stations have been hit hard. Three or four pumping stations are claimed to have been targeted by on Serala. I'll tell you when I know things and I'll tell you when I don't know things. What I do know is that there were massive fires at an industrial facility right around the Riyadh Demam Road. You can see the Riyadh Demam Highway. So I can confirm having visuals on that in terms of these other pumping stations that on Serala is claiming I've not been able to independently verify it. There is this video that has been released of some group of armed women in Yemen's hais province, declaring their readiness to fight alongside the Houthis against the Saudi back PLC. I'll show you this video right here that was just released. Let's play it, folks. And then within Iran itself, the New York Times reports, Iranians are very anxious right now as the threat of U.S.-Israeli attacks loom. Iranians are not sending their kids to a lot of Iranians or not sending their kids to school. Others are canceling travel plans, stocking up on fuel and food, a really powerful story about what's actually happening there in Iran. I want to remind everybody the size of Iran. Iran is the size of California, Texas, Michigan, Ohio and Florida combined. Iran is very big, it has over 90 million people. The IRGC in Iran and the Iranian army, there are two different entities that kind of work together, then they kind of have a central command that coordinates. It's deeply entrenched in Iran and so regime change is not an easy thing. Let me be very clear. My view we shouldn't be involved in this catastrophic war at all. I think it's disastrous. I think hegs of Trump, Rubio Vance, this whole crew, their war criminals. I think they need to be tried in the Hague. I think anyone running for the Democratic presidential ticket must promise we the people. These war criminals will be handed over to the Hague on day one. Also on day one, we will have a live stream of the golden ballroom and everything with Trump's name on it being blown up. I want it on live stream. Those are day one things. I digress. What I want to make sure we focus on though as well though, just let's just say you're a Neocon war hawk, you want more. Let's be very clear what that means when Trump's like finish the job, finish the job and he says stupid stuff like that and deadly stuff like that in order to really do that, given the size of Iran, you would need to institute a draft. You're not going to do it by bombing pickaxe mountain with the Moab. You're not going to drop bombs and then Iran's going to say, aha, we want to negotiate with you now. No, it's going to have the opposite result. Iran's going to respond by striking all of the infrastructure and these surrounding Middle East nations, the desalination plans, they're going to cut the underground cables. They're going to hit the data centers. They're going to further hit the military bases. They have thousands of ballistics and drones and cruise missiles. They're ready to go and the US has depleted most of its interceptors, pretty much all of its interceptors and the US purported allies in the region have as well. The US security umbrella in the region is destroyed. The US is not capable of escalating but let's just say you really wanted regime change. You would have to institute a draft. You would have to have hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground in Iran. You have to control territory. I mean, what are we talking about? You're not going to do it by a bombing raid and then say, oh, you're going to cry, Uncle, that's not going to happen. You would have to bring in hundreds of thousands of troops, perhaps millions of troops and then you will have fat, you know, over a million troops or a million troops and then you would because you have to have every province, every town would have to have troops in it to control it from the IRGC. Think if you're doing military strategy, think about what the people are not going to greet Trump and not Netanyahu as conquering heroes, okay. So then you would have thousands and thousands of deaths every day. We'd probably have 30 to 50,000 US service members killed every month. That's what you would need to do if you were even thinking about regime change. Then it wouldn't get regime change anyway. So you'd be talking about like a million deaths with a draft. That's what would need to happen if that was truly. You're not going to bomb your way out of this thing. And so it's just utterly absurd while the Trump regime is like, oh, more oil is going out than ever. More oil is not getting out than ever. When the markets open again, we're going to see the price of oil head closer to $120. I think it may open at $120 barrel and it's going to continue to go up, up, up. That's just the reality of the situation. I'm just giving you the facts, facts, facts, facts, facts matter, okay. Let me know if you got WTF America or new book the way out of this hell and back to democracy. Thanks for watching. You all appreciate you so much. It's finally here, WTF America.
