IRAN, HEZBOLLAH LAUNCH UNPRECEDENTED ATTACK ON ISRAEL + NATO DEFENSES SHOOT DOWN MISSILE OVER TURKEY

0:00It is March 4th, 2026 and it's just after 8 a.m. local time here in Texas and we are coming to you with more breaking news as we have reports that Turkish and NATO air defenses have shot down what they say is an Iranian missile headed for Turkish airspace. This comes as we have Iran and Hezbollah launching simultaneous attacks on Israel for the very first time and we have top members of the Trump administration commenting on all of the latest and painting a very nice picture for the US. It'll be interesting to see how many of their comments come back to haunt them as this war continues on. But speaking of future planning, it's no secret here in the Western media that the CIA is going to be working with various regional groups specifically the Kurds to launch an uprising in Iran and this in and of itself is actually nothing new. So what does that tell us about what they've already been doing because we know that if they're

1:01announcing it now it's been going on for a while now. We're going to get into all of the latest here in today's video. We have a lot to cover so let's get to it and let's start off with the news that the Turkish Defense Ministry announced that a ballistic missile fired from Iran identified as having passed through Iraqi and Syrian airspace and headed toward Turkey was intercepted by NATO defense elements in the eastern Mediterranean. Now as of the time of this recording I have not seen a direct response from Iran. I did see that Turkey reached out to Iran directly with a phone call to their foreign minister telling them that they were not happy about this. So I'm interested to see what else develops from it but it is notable here right. NATO is already directly involved in this war. France directly involved the United States directly involved. So interesting to see this news about another NATO member whether they like it or not Turkey possibly having a missile cross into its airspace or headed towards its airspace and a lot of questions about what that

2:06may actually mean. But speaking of the ongoing attacks in addition to the US and Israel targeting Iran, we also have Iran and Hezbollah targeting Israel. As you have veteran war correspondent Elijah Menyeh noting that sirens in Israel and over 200 locations are going off right now that this is the first time in the modern history of Israel where explosions are heard in different locations and incoming missiles are coming from two countries. Loud and strong explosions are registered in different parts of the occupied Palestine. The cradle is also noting that Israeli media has reported that rocket fragments have fallen in several areas near Tel Aviv following a simultaneous rocket launch from Iran and Lebanon marking the first coordinated double solvo from Lebanon and Iran since the beginning of the war. And this is a reminder of Iran's overall strategy here to go in into hit Israel to hit the US from multiple fronts all at once. And so it's no surprise to see

3:08that Hezbollah has officially joined this war. It's no surprise to see attacks coming out of Lebanon and now we know that of course Israel is also directly targeting Lebanon also making life hell for the Lebanese people once again as much as it can. But at the same time that's not really anything new for Israel because they have been violating the ceasefire that they were supposed to have had with Hezbollah for months for the entirety of the ceasefire. And we've all watched as President Trump has gone from a four-day war to no apparently a forever war. He's declaring that the US has you know all the weapons we could possibly need. Don't you worry about any reports about shortages of munitions you know that we've all been warning about for years now. Now according to Trump everything is fine. Everything is under control. And that message is now being paraded by members of his administration such as, and I don't know why he's commenting on this, but US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett. Everything is going magnificently. The execution of epic fury is the

4:17proceeding and doing better than planned. I believe last night we took full control of the Iranian skies along with the Israeli Air Force. And yes that is the same Scott Bessett who recently bragged that the US intentionally manipulated Iran's currency in order to trigger economic protests in order to provide as a cover for the deadly riots and terror attacks that the US and Israel publicly backed directly. And here he is once again declaring that this war is going magnificently. Like I'm sorry why is our Treasury Secretary like does he not have anything better to do? We have other stuff going on here in this country. But of course I can't say that those comments come as a surprise and it also doesn't come as a surprise to me that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is saying and revealing quite a lot at the moment including the latest US war crimes at the moment. In fact yesterday in the Indian Ocean and we'll play it on the screen there.

5:21An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead it was sunk by a torpedo, quiet death. Like the fact that he even takes the time to say oh you know you think it would be safe in international waters but it wasn't we still targeted. Why are you publicly bragging about this? I just it's the audacity. It's also the question of okay who is going to hold the US accountable to the international community. Who is going to hold the US and Israel accountable because this is what you get when there's no accountability. You get an all on genocide against the Palestinians when that's allowed to happen and that's allowed to continue to happen as it is right now while they just keep going and going from there why wouldn't they pursue war with Iran. Why wouldn't they use a torpedo to target an Iranian ship in international waters. Anything goes at this point and that is exactly how the Trump administration is acting. This was never meant to be a fair fight and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while

6:27they're down. Punching them while they are down. I'm not going to sit here and act like I had all of this respect for the Trump administration but I have lost any possible ounce of respect that I could have for them based on their handling of this war alone not to mention all the other war crimes they've committed so I'll throw that in there but just this week alone right you look at the way that they have handled this once again in the middle of talks they go in and they attack Iran. They murder Iran's leader they do not get the desired effect the Iranian government does not fall and so therefore now you have a Trump administration that is determined to publicly terrorize the Iranian people for as long as they possibly can. The message to the Iranian people that the US is sending right now is you did not rise up against your government the way we told you to right you didn't overthrow your government the way that we wanted you to and so now we are going to bring hell on earth to your country. We're going to do it by carpet bombing your capital which the US

7:30is continuing to do we're going to do it by targeting civilians which the US is continuing to do it wasn't enough that they killed nearly 200 young girls in a school just a couple of days ago now they're continuing to target hospitals humanitarian facilities schools residential areas and the thing about the Trump administration is that they're not hiding any of this they're not playing the game that maybe the Bush administration or the Obama administration would play where they're like yeah you know we're we're bringing democracy and freedom to this country against their will or we're here you know just arming and training them moderate Syrian rebels we're just we're just helping them out we're helping out the people of Syria as Obama would like you to think while the leader of al-Qaeda is now in charge in Damascus as the US intended and just as back in January Mossad made it clear that they were fully backing and supporting the protests that quickly turned into violent riots and terror attacks in Iran well no the Sun you have all of these reports coming out

8:34of the woodwork saying that the CIA has some plans of its own and that it's just working on the next uprising in the country as you have CNN reporting that the CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran they say the Trump administration has been an active discussion with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq about providing them with military support and that Iranian Kurdish armed groups have thousands of forces operating along the Iraq-Iran border primarily in Iraq's Kurdistan region several of the groups have released public statements since the beginning of the war hinting at imminent action and urging Iranian military forces to defect Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Court has also been striking Kurdish groups and said on Tuesday that it targeted Kurdish forces with dozens of drones you also have Axia reporting that once again this was all Netanyahu's idea and that according to an anonymous

9:34official quote when he first came over and sat with Trump for hours he would have thought Netanyahu had it all figured out he had the successor planned out he had the Kurds all figured out two sets of Kurdish groups here and there this many people are going to rise up and it's yet another reminder of how often Netanyahu's name comes up as you know you had Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitting to the world this week that the US had to attack Iran that there was in fact an imminent threat oh it was Israel Israel was threatening an imminent attack and the US felt as though they had to act because they knew that Iran would be retaliating against both Israel and US military bases in the region how could they have known that oh you know because Iran's only been warning them for months now and I also think it's important to note here that while you have all of these mainstream media outlets reporting on the CIA suddenly deciding to arm and work with the Kurds this is nothing new it has been going on for a while the only reason that they're

10:35putting it out there now is to kind of desensitize the public to it right to let the public know this is what we're actively doing they're just kind of sprinkling the information out there so that it becomes commonplace people get used to it and then no questions are asked but from the smuggling of weapons to the Kurds being directly involved in these attacks this has all been going on for a while now it was also a major element in the violent riots that we saw back in January in Iran and this is something that friend of the show Iranian analyst Isan Sephirnishad mentioned when he came on the show back on the 27th of January so I want to play a clip from that interview of what he was saying at the time and it is yet another reminder that it rings even more true today the next phase of the attack that they were trying to carry out in 12-day wars 12-day war was that the terrorist groups surrounding the Iranian borders would infiltrate the Iranian

11:37the Iranian soil and then carry out terrorist operations and and hopefully in the mind vulcanize the country well this time it happened differently again the riots started and the terrorist groups crossed the Iranian border and carried out the operations and you don't have to take my word for it euro news Persian published this article that party Azadi Kurdistan Kurdistan freedom party carried out attacks military what what euro news described as military operations within Iran well they're stationed in the Kurdistan region of Iraq so even if say that people have the right to take up arms and rebel against their own state this is not applicable to this situation on the circumstance because these people are not

12:38Iranians they're the Kurds who are based in Iraq and they they did this this is not my word but obviously considering the hypocrisy of the western mainstream media at the same time that euro news publishes that article it also says that okay this is the regime propaganda that the terrorist forces crossed the Iranian border and carried out you know terrorist operations most of the scenes that you see of people having arms holding shotguns or assault rifles belong to the western parts of Iran where these terrorist Kurdish forces entered Iran and they carried out acts of violence that that was also a part of it one final thing to wrap things up is the fact that they're not really trying anymore in order to hide their intention uh we have seen NATO caliber the Israeli caliber bullets being found in the in the bodies of the

13:50deceased the people who are killed were declared as martyrs by the Iranian government because the entire episode is colloquially within within people is referred to as 13th day of war so basically that's the way that Iranians viewed as the continuation of the 12th day war you see NATO caliber bullets Israeli caliber bullets being found in the bodies of the people who are killed and obviously you have the open declaration by the official Mossad account in far see that they are with the Iranian so-called protesters and in case there would be any confusion that they went out of their way to say that we do not mean this verbally and from afar we mean that we are

14:51in the field walking alongside you guys so very it's a very open and shut case that they were involved because the Iranian government says so no because they themselves say so so it's their word against them their word so yeah this is the entire situation I think that it was really terrifying seeing what happened inside Iran you know they basically carried out this acts of terrorism but I think that in a way I'm really proud of my compatriots because the economic situation is really bad it's really bad anyone who wants to sugarcoat this is misinforming people right but despite everything on Monday the Iranian people showed that they have learned from the mistakes made in Libya in Syria in Iraq and they are

15:57understanding that you know these actions are precursor to the military invasion by United States and Israel. NATO and Israeli bullets found in the bodies of the victims another reminder of why the US and Israel is launching the war that they are because they're attempt at color revolution back in January did not work they had this grand idea that it was all going to come together that they were going to overthrow the Iranian government and it all failed miserably they were being exposed at every turn so what did they do they decided that they were going to go to an all-out war they got desperate and they decided to take it to a full-scale war which is what we are seeing right now and I will also note here because I've received a few comments and messages I have not heard anything from Hassan since this war broke out I know that he hasn't posted anything on social media I know that it's likely that he doesn't have the best internet connection right now

16:57I do not know any of the details there and I don't have any other information to share but I have reached out to him and if I receive any updates from him I will be sure to let y'all know but thank you so much for checking in on him and for reaching out to me and just being aware of the current situation because I know that I have the privilege of getting to talk to a lot of these people all around the world and it really does make me concerned for their well-being for the well-being of the people around them I know that I come on here and I can talk all day long about how ridiculous the US looks or about how bad the situation is for the West but at the same time we also have to remember that this is a war and it has real world consequences for the Iranian people and my heart just breaks every day as I watch all of these updates as I see the Iranian children that are killed and the Iranian civilians that are targeted and as I know that that's the government of the country that I live in right watching all of this as an American watching

18:00it unfold and just being heartbroken that the US government is so bloodthirsty and is such a vicious cruel empire that it feels the need to continue to terrorize innocent civilians and that while yes the American people the majority of them do not support this they're speaking out against it in a number of ways it still is not enough not nearly enough pressure is being put on the Trump administration right now by the American people to show them that they are not in favor of this world it is scary how complacent so much of the population here has become just like oh yeah it's another forever war it's a world war three type position then people just shrug their shoulders and go on about their day and as all of this is happening you have Trump announcing his next bright idea which is that the US might deploy its navy to escort commercial ships through the street of four moves the waterway south of Iran through which a fifth of the world's oil travels

19:02you also have reports following that up and noting that the US navy told industry officials that there is no availability for naval escorts and this goes back to what we've been kind of speculating watching this which is that the US is desperate for a false flag attack here they they just are right they want to use a navy ship as an escort in the hopes that oh it just gets in the range of Iranian fire and oh well what if it's hit what if it sinks what if American soldiers are coming home in body bags at numbers far more than just the few that the US military has announced up until this point and so this idea that we would just casually put US naval ships intentionally in harm's way to try to force them through the street of four moves it's ridiculous but it's also a reminder of how incredibly reckless the US is here and it's like no Iran controls the street of four moves this war controls the street of four moves the average industry ship does not

20:02want to go through this waterway and risk being targeted in some way and speaking of targets i did also want to note the footage going around on social media showing the idea now this is footage released by the IDF in which they claim to strike an Iranian MI17 helicopter the only problem is that the target appears to be a painted helicopter decoy on the ground now this reminds me of some of the reports of what Russia was doing to Ukraine when it comes to the use of decoys but always notable when you've got a multi-million dollar missile you know just hurling towards a what ten dollar painted decoy and this is not the first time that this has happened this is not the only video going around on social media showing this happen now that's what's happening in israel in addition to them getting bombed but one of the most alarming things about what's happening here in the United States is what we're hearing from top members of congress right it has been shocking and i do not put that lightly to see the statements made by members of congress who come out of

21:07some of these classified briefings and say things like yeah you know this war isn't going to end anytime soon yeah you know there's a possibility we could have boots on the ground like i'm sorry are you not the members of congress are you guys not supposed to like rally together and you know pass some sort of resolution to stop trump from doing exactly what he's doing are you guys not the ones who are supposed to be the ones declaring war and yet here we are our trump has just decided he's going to declare a war unilaterally and congress is just sitting around you know making their daily statements acting is if there's nothing they can do about it or i guess if you're senator chuck Schumer you're giving the media a little bit of a 40-in-slip here and there look no one wants a nuclear war no one wants a nuclear israel but we certainly don't want an endless war plain and simple oh no let me say that again well if nothing else i guess that's one thing the chuck Schumer and i can agree on we both don't want a nuclear israel now i will leave y'all with this statement that we

22:13heard from president trump on Tuesday because i think it was an important admission that once again is going to come back to haunt him i guess the worst case would be we do this and then somebody takes over who's as bad as the previous person right that could happen uh we don't want that to happen it would probably be the worst you go through this and then uh in five years you realize you put somebody in it was no better so you're saying that we could go through this whole entire war spend an endless amount of money kill god knows how many civilians and you can end up with a leader who is quote unquote just as bad as the guy who you just murdered it's yet another reminder that trump is here following orders doing what he's told the us for decades now has been plotting war against Iran they have been desperate for it plenty of leaders have been smart enough to see all of the ways in which this would be a bad idea and then we got to the trump administration and here they are recklessly waging war killing civilians and bragging about it to the world all
