Trump’s Retreat Gets Worse…

Wise offers a smart, transparent solution for global money transfers, ensuring users avoid hidden fees by matching standard exchange rates. In geopolitical news, the U.S. has withdrawn 12 B-1 bombers from the UK’s Royal Air Force base amid claims of Iran-linked threats, reportedly driven by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. British officials have cast doubt on the credibility of these claims, noting arrested individuals were later released without explosives. Simultaneously, a U.S. aircraft carrier has moved to Thailand, signaling a broader U.S. retreat from the Arabian Sea, leaving only one carrier in the region. Iran has responded with increased regional aggression, attacking tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and asserting full control, demanding that all conditions from a past memorandum—such as missile programs and unfrozen funds—be met before any peace talks occur. The U.S. has also remained non-interventionist in Yemen, despite Saudi requests for military action, due to strategic constraints. Complicating matters, the Fly Dubai incident continues to be investigated, with the Omani co-pilot and a plumber cooperating, and Netanyahu attempting to link the event to Iran. These developments suggest a tense and shifting regional standoff, with both Iran and the U.S. retreating from key military commitments, while Iran firmly demands accountability and full fulfillment of prior agreements.

Donald Trump and his regime continue their retreat in connection with the catastrophic war in Iran. We now learn that the Trump regime has withdrawn all 12 B1 bombers from the Royal Air Force base in Fairford in the United Kingdom. Following so-called security concerns over suspected Iran-linked terror plots targeting the base and this information apparently came from Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, this according to Axios reporter Barack Reved, who I call Donald Trump's personal stenographer for a lot of the propaganda that gets put out by Reved in Axios. Also, the Wall Street Journal reporting that US officials believe a branch of the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, recruited UK nationals to target the bombers, the 12 B1 bombers, and kill personnel. Though some British officials have questioned how sophisticated the plot was. In other words, some British officials are calling BS on this entire thing. The Netanyahu has told UK intelligence, UK intelligence told Trump, and Trump got scared and immediately withdrew all 12 B1 bombers. Now, this is in addition to the Trump regime, Netanyahu, and even the prime minister of UK, claiming two weeks ago that there were these five individuals who were arrested near Royal Air Force Base, Fairford, and they said they were involved in terrorist activities, but then they were released on bail, and then it was learned that they were the ones who actually called the police, and they didn't have explosives on them. And then Netanyahu was like, yeah, these individuals were going to bomb Royal Air Force Base. And so you had that incident, you had the fly Dubai incident, there was another incident that seemed to take place in Mecca where it was unclear what was even happening there. And so you have all of these incidents taking place leading up to that Israeli election where Netanyahu is trying to do anything he can to cling on to power there. Now, this retreat by the Trump regime from the Royal Air Force Base with these 12 B1 bombers comes at the time where the Trump regime has also been retreating from the Arabian Sea. We reported on the Midas Touch Network, and I think we were one of the first to report, because we were looking at the satellite image in the Arabian Sea. And we noticed one of the two aircraft carriers that were part of the so-called impenetrable blockade in the Arabian Sea suddenly started sailing into the Indian Ocean. And I'm like, is this going to Puket in Thailand? Is this aircraft carrier leaving the blockade? And sure enough, it docked in Puket, Thailand. There's about 5,000 sailors and Marines who are currently in Thailand, at least for the next three to five days. We don't believe this aircraft carrier is going to be heading back to that blockade in the very near future. So we're going to follow what happens with that aircraft carrier if it is done being part of the blockade. This leaves the only aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, the USS George Washington. This is the only time we've had one aircraft carrier there since February 28th. The USS Theodore Roosevelt, the other aircraft strike group, is heading from San Diego, joined by an amphibious assault group that also left from San Diego. Thousands of Marines and sailors are heading to the Arabian Sea right in the Middle East area. They'll be there by mid-November, so after the midterms where Trump's threatened escalation at that point. But these are, I think, critical events. I mean, Iran is aware of it. The withdrawal of the 12B ones, I'm sure they're aware of it, from the Royal Air Force base and the removal of the aircraft carrier as part of that so-called blockade in the Arabian Sea. In the past four days now, Iran's been able to strike somewhere in the range of eight to ten tankers in the Strait of Hormuz trying to go through that southern Oman route. And then yesterday, we also were aware that there was an incident in the Red Sea and the Babel Mondob Strait where a tanker in the Red Sea reported explosions and the UK MTO actually reported it there. And so this also comes at a time where the Iranian regime claims that the Trump regime has been secretly begging for a peace deal. So Iran's deputy foreign minister, Kazem Garbabadi, he said that the Trump regime sent a response to Iran describing a potential peace deal. We'll see what that actually means. Iran's made it very clear that it must be all of the elements that were in the memorandum of understanding that the Trump regime breached. And Iran wants all of those conditions met before any discussions take place at all about the nuclear file or anything else. Deputy foreign minister Garbabadi says Iran is reviewing Washington's formal response, not what Donald Trump is posting on social media where Trump rants and raves like a lunatic. Iran will respond through the appropriate channels. In addition, a one of Iran's deputy commanders was on Iranian TV and he said we are aware that there are no US warships in the Persian Gulf, straight of Hormuz or Gulf of Oman, the Americans fled. He refers to the missile production or describes the missile production in Iran outpacing its use. He says Hormuz is under 100% Iranian control. US Navy was forced to retreat 1000 kilometers away and they were aware that one aircraft carrier is now in Puket, Thailand. He says this is again the IRGC deputy commander, US warships attempted to enter Hormuz. This was a little bit a while ago. They were attacked and then they retreated and he says Washington cannot impose control through air power alone. You know what's easier than fixing a problem?

He was the lead negotiator, along with foreign minister, Erragchi in connection with the memorandum of understanding. Galibat said, "Iran does not set its grand policy or national security based on the tweets or daily interviews of American officials. We act based on the enemy's actual behavior, not on rhetoric or false media dichotomies. The Americans who say something different in the media have recently put forward proposals through and intermediary, but they must understand that this era of dragging out time and dictating unilateral demands is over. Our position is clear. The Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until our seven conditions under the Islamabad memorandum are fulfilled. This is Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. And if it so chooses to impose tolls on the Strait of Hormuz, that the Trump regime and the Netanyahu regime make sure that there is a Palestinian state, that they leave southern Lebanon and other bases. in the Middle East that the Iranians be permitted to maintain their ballistic missiles and their drone capabilities that funds, about 12 billion funds in a Atari bank account are unfrozen that there be a $300 billion fund for reconstruction of Iran. This is all stuff that was in the memorandum of understanding and that this is what M.B. Gallaboff is saying is critical for Iran agrees to anything. So while Trump's like, oh, they're begging for a deal. They're begging. They're about to surrender. What Iran is saying is Donald Trump is begging for a deal and Iran is rejecting it unless its terms are met. And Iran is seeing that the Royal Air Force base has seen these planes leave and the aircraft carrier has left. And you have again, you know, remember Netanyahu told Donald Trump back in early July after Trump was leaving Ankara in Turkey that Iran was going to blow up Trump's Air Force one. And so that's why Donald Trump slipped into the catering truck with Natalie Harp and they went on the military plane. That was based on what Netanyahu said. Obviously, it was Netanyahu and Trump who initiated this war in late February and they said, they're going to be greeted by heroes by the people of Iran, which of course didn't happen. Netanyahu had also told Trump that Iran wants to kill him and Ivanka and Melania and Baron and everybody. And so, you know, Netanyahu before the election, which takes place in a few weeks, clearly wants to try to also provoke some incident. I think we all agree that that's probably what's going on behind the scenes. Meanwhile, we see escalation of the war in Yemen. Yesterday, we saw the PLC leader, Yemen's Saudi-backed president, the PLC leader Rashad Al Al-Alimi announced the start of a massive military operation on all fronts. And according to him and MBS and everybody, they want to try to not just take back some of the areas in Western Yemen that on Serala, the Houthis were able to take control of like the areas in Moka and areas by the Babel Mondobstreet. But they're saying that they want to also take over Sana, which is the capital for Serala and the Houthis, which the Houthis have controlled for a very long time. I mean, longer than a decade. And so, that's what's being announced by the Saudi-backed forces and they say they're going to commit 100,000 troops to this. They're calling it a counteroffensive, although the Houthis would say it's an offensive. And we did the counteroffensive because they struck Sana's airport back in July, and that's what led to a lot of this escalation. Meanwhile, we saw the Houthis strike Yanbu and refineries in Riyadh within Saudi Arabia. And the East-West pipeline looked like it was flaring a bit. Unclear if it was hit again, but obviously we know the East-West pipeline was previously struck by on Serala. Meanwhile, MBS through his brother had been his brothers, the Defense Minister. They were asking Pete Hegsith. We want the United States to join Saudi Arabia to strike the Houthis Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin bin Sam and KBS as MBS's brother. You know, ask Defense Secretary Hegsith for U.S. air strikes in Houthi-controlled area in Yemen. U.S. officials said Washington is not taking, quote, kinetic action for now, meaning the U.S. will provide intelligence, but will not actually strike on Serala. And a lot of defense officials are saying the U.S. is stretched in right now. The aircraft carrier is in Puket. We have one aircraft carrier. We're out of interceptors or we're severely low on interceptors, pack threes, fads, or out of a lot of offensive capabilities. And so having the Houthis potentially blockade the Red Sea from American linked vessels is not something that the Trump regime is capable of dealing with right now. And so as you see the Trump regime retreat, you're seeing a very big reluctance on helping out MBS militarily, despite all of the quid pro quo deals that MBS did directly with Donald Trump. So that's a noteworthy development as well right there. I want to mention this also. Some of the updates on that fly Dubai incident. Apparently the Omani co-pilot, Hamam al-Hammami has been speaking to investigators. He's been cooperating. This is the guy who allegedly took the emergency acts, tried to strike the pilot, the pilot survived, someone who was not a pilot, who was a plumber, saw what was happening, rushed to the cockpit as the plane was nose-diving 17,500 feet, pulled up the control yoke, and managed to save the plane and everybody survived. And there's a lot of people have lots of questions about what happened. The oxygen mass didn't come down. There weren't a lot of injuries on the plane other than the co-pilot and the plumber had blood on him. But the latest is that he was planning this for some time and he's cooperating and he was alone wolf, but Netanyahu I think is trying to link him to Iran right now. So that's the update.
