Donald Trump desperately wants a ceasefire, so he had Steve Whitcoff reach out repeatedly to Iranian leadership as reported by the Guardian and say, please can we have a ceasefire?
Not only is Iran saying no to the ceasefire, Iranian leadership continues to threaten to vanish Donald Trump. They say your paper threats do not scare us. They threaten to eliminate Donald Trump, repeated death threats they continue to make against Donald Trump. The Guardian reports Iran has spurred two messages from Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Whitcoff seeking a ceasefire as its leaders in Iran since it is not losing the war. And that Donald Trump is at a minimum feeling political pressure at home. The article is called Iran is becoming more defiant in the face of US Israeli onslaught. And we see Iran continuing to strike at Israel, continuing to strike at American bases in the region. We learned earlier yesterday that Iran was putting all of these minds in the strait of her mose. When you look at the strait of her mose, essentially zero traffic is moving through the strait of her mose still despite Donald Trump and his regime lying that there were navy convoys
that were helping move these cargo ships, which was false. And then Donald Trump's regime blamed statements that the navy was helping the cargo ships pass through the strait of her mose on staffers and interns and said, oh, it was just a staffer and intern who made these posts, which just completely imploded the oil markets yesterday. And you take a look at what went down also, you had major drone strikes on US diplomatic facilities in Iraq, which were suspected retaliation by pro Tehran militias. This was taking place in Iraq, six drones were launched toward the compound, five of which were shot down, but one hit the US facility said security officials. The strike hit the Baghdad diplomatic support center, a sprawling logistical hub for American diplomats near the Baghdad airport. Also, we saw strikes and herds strikes in our bill in Iraq, Israeli media outlet and 12 said a defense source believes that toppling the Iranian regime is looking less and less realistic by the day.
And the instead the goal should be weakening or crippling infrastructure, but that regime change is now impossible really because isn't that what the Trump regime said we were going to be doing isn't that what the Netanyahu regime said that we're going to take place. Take a look right here at the outbound transits right now within the straight of her mose has this one commentator says you will likely need a microscope because there ain't no ships that are leaving the straight of her mose, but the Trump regime lied about it. And there was a report from the energy department that oil tankers were getting navy escorts, which was not happening. So deleted tweet from energy secretary sent the oil markets on another wild ride yesterday a now a race post from Chris right the energy secretary whipsawed crude for the second straight session. A message that was posted by Trump's secretary of energy vanished within minutes leaving investors the world over struggling to see through the fog of war emanating from the Trump regime itself.
And the energy department is blaming staffers for in accurate social media posts a spokesperson said that a video clip posted by energy secretary Chris right was deleted from his official ex account after it was determined it was incorrectly captioned by department staff the post, which claimed that the US Navy had helped an oil tanker through the straight of her mose was quickly taken down. Spokesperson Ben deertrick said the secretary and other officials are closely monitoring the situation in the straight a key access point for oil and natural gas shipments in the Middle East. The military is considering additional options to keep it open, including potential for our navy to escort tanks. Deirdre says the prospect of military escorts could help reduce price pressure created by the war except it ain't happening. It's too dangerous ain't no traffic moving through it and this just blew up the markets and here's how one person describes it.
In case you missed it because you probably did somebody placed a massive short on oil right before energy secretary Chris right posted a tweet claiming US naval forces has as had escorted. And oil tanker through the Hormuz straight oil dropped $5 a barrel over the next few minutes the short cover eight minutes later it was revealed that right story was a complete fabrication and he deleted all mention of it from the internet oil prices shot back up $5 a barrel the mystery short seller made $100 million in eight minutes right there. And the US Navy tells the shipping industry yeah on your own they're saying that Hormuz escorts not possible for now the US Navy refusing near daily request from the shipping industry for help can do it. Democratic senator Chris Murphy like other senators attended a briefing by the department of defense today about the war in Iran.
Here's what Chris Murphy said I was in a two hour briefing today on the Iran war all of the briefings are closed because Trump can't defend this war in public so pause there. One of the tactics being used by the Trump regime is to falsely label things as classified so that he cannot tell the American public about it things that shouldn't be classified so he holds these public. He holds these public deranged pressers where he's not actually saying what's happening and he's lying but then he holds these classified briefings that information that normally would be revealed to the American people. For example yesterday we learned 150 soldiers were wounded 150 were wounded that was being covered up senator Murphy goes on to say look I obviously can't disclose classified info but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are here's what I can share maybe the lead is that the war goals do not involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program this surprising since Trump says over and over again this is the key goal but then of course we already know airstrikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.
Second they confirmed regime change is also not on the list so they are not good so they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars get a whole bunch of Americans killed and a hard line regime probably more anti-American hard line regime than the one before will still be in charge okay so what are the goals it seems primarily destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories but the question that stump them what happens when you stand. What happens when you stop bombing do they just restart production they hinted at more bombing which is of course an endless war oh and on the straight of her most they had no plan I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the straight but suffice it to say right now they don't know how to get it safely back open which is unforgivable because this part of this at the disaster was a hundred percent foreseeable so what are they doing on state regime media right now. Which calls itself Fox people like Laura Ingraham are now attacking the Iranian people for not doing an uprising Laura Ingraham's like where's the uprising where's the uprising your play this clip well that was the night that we launched operation epic fury but now that the United States is close to reaching its objectives there where are the Iranian uprisings now let me show you what's going on on south.
So the media and again I'm just want to give you perspectives of internationally what's taking place on Saudi Arabia media you have guests like this he says the following the insolence of caram and religious fanaticism and the bungling of the American administration a military decision without political planning if Trump declared victory through destroying the regime's capabilities and killing the leadership the fundamental problems remain unsolved I said before the harmoose fog news that Tehran is promoting a long war of attrition and despite the public discontent inside Iran the external bombing has bolstered national sentiment led to the regime's cohesion instead of its collapse contrary to the Trump expectations the irony is that a war whose goal was regime change might end with a weaker but more ferocious regime and a region living in a more dangerous balance than ever before. And so you know lots of people who don't understand this region are saying why is Saudi Arabia media and other Arab nation media pissed at the United States well you know they're pissed that Israel but pissed at the United States and not Iran when Iran is launching the weapons at the Arab nations because what the Arab nations are saying is Trump regime you never consulted us before you went to war you had the Oman foreign minister
broker a mediated resolution with Iran as the matter settled and people believe we were just moving on to technical conversation that's when the United States invaded Iran because they were told that Netanyahu is going to invade first so the U.S. invaded no allies were given warning everyone was thrown under the bus in the region all these Arab nations that were basically bribing Donald Trump this quid pro quo money to Trump companies thinking he would protect them and help them like you just screwed us all over royally we warned you that Iran would retaliate against us if you did this Iran's plan was this war of attrition and to harm the economic interests that was their goal the whole time and you fell right into the trap and now Trump regime you've made the ayatola the new one mojaba stronger the Islamic Republic now has a stronger grip on the people of Iran there were protests in January Donald you told people go out and protest against the ayatola and you would have their back you didn't have their back tens of thousands of Iranian protesters were killed you now are calling all of the Iranian people nasty humans you said that in a press conference you said they're nasty humans and they are menacing people all Iranians not just referring to the
Islamic Republic you're referring to all of the people in Iran so you've actually driven support by also bombing hospitals bombing elementary schools killing 150 little girls blowing up desalination facilities you've turned the populace more against the U.S. you've built national national endeavor against the U.S. ayatola is consolidating control you've made the situation worse and Iran I mean they have a lot of weapons they still have all these Shahid drones they're easy and cheap for them to make they're being supported by Russia Russia has essentially you know and look at what's happening in Russia and the Baltic states let's be very clear there Russia is supporting Iran Donald Trump is co-seeing up to Russia the United States has never been weaker our allies have never been weaker right now as a result of what Donald Trump's doing and look Iran continues to start this is Tel Aviv yesterday
look at what was going on in Tel Aviv yesterday a lot of these missiles were going through as observers who were there are saying pandemonium sirens begin mid boom advanced warnings left hanging for long minutes strikes from Lebanon and Iran rolling sirens that moves sector to sector attacks all over the country no one knows or says anything but incessant babbling and empty boasts Tel Aviv is getting hit pretty hard right now and one of the developments that Iran has developed are these cluster munitions so that when these missiles go over Tel Aviv they spread out and it's harder for the patriot and thad systems to hit them here's a state regime media host on fox describing what went down play this clip and to the break here we have sirens in Tel Aviv let's go back to correspondent Nate Foy who is on the ground there hi Nate hey Martha so yeah as you can hear the sirens are going off here in Tel Aviv something that we've seen several times throughout the entire day and what we could see here momentarily are interceptor
missiles fired off we have seen it right over my shoulder several different times again Iran continues to show an offensive capability launching missiles at central israel we have one interceptor over my shoulder right now we can't show you because we can't show landmarks Martha but something that has really changed here over the past couple days is the use of these cluster munitions by Iran where the warhead breaks up into several different bomb lits and that's really important because not only doesn't spread the damage but it makes it more difficult to defend against you have Iran announcing that they are now targeting enemy technological infrastructure in the region you have Iranian media mocking the Trump regime saying dear americans your president is a pedophile you have the Iranian foreign minister basically calling Trump the Epstein class and saying look the American people you wanted affordability and no endless wars look at what Donald Trump is
is giving you you have them understanding the propaganda tools and and and and describing the suffering of the American people then you got Donald Trump attacking the Iranian people and saying they're very menacing a few other data points though I want to I want to talk about I want to talk just a little bit about domestic news pambandi pambandi now has to live in military bases because she's so scared of everything she's scared of Maduro supporters she's scared of people who are pissed at her for covering up the Epstein files so she's moved out of her DC apartment and she now and she's afraid of all these threats that she gets from cartels she says so she's living on a military base while she covers up the Epstein files they're all building bunkers for themselves and building military bases you know for themselves I'm going to do all video or they're living in military bases I'll do a whole other video on this this morning so make sure you watch it but prime minister karni of canada in the canadian parliament yesterday
said canada will never participate with the united states and an offensive against aron you have that going down um you have senator john eusted of ohio this magey republican senator while the american people are suffering he basically says if you live in poverty you're just not experienced in navigating the real world this is what they're saying this is the republican message that if you are living through poverty you're just not smart you're just don't understand how money works you're just you that's why you deserve it this is what mega republicans are saying how utterly horrific your play this quote and people living in poverty you're just not very they're not very experienced in navigating the real world right that I remember talking to one young lady who said well I don't really know how money works at a grocery store because she grew up and has lived all of her adult life using snap cards to buy groceries and so you literally have
to teach people how to budget if the buzzword today let's face it it's affordability right now you also have mager you have the white house deputy chief of staff james blare urging house republicans on Tuesday at their event in doral in florida to stop publicly emphasizing mass deportations and instead focus on removing violent criminals during a policy listening session your whole platform was mass deportations we saw what you did and what's going on here well americans are seeing endless wars cover up of Epstein files ice and border patrol gastapo killing americans and you saw some of those special elections last night the democrat in jorge's 14th shan harris getting into the runoff getting basically getting the same votes if not more than the mega republican candidate at least as of late reporting results shan harris was in the lead the democratic candidate and
