8 Missile Barrages in One Night; This Is NOT a Peace Deal

Hello everybody and welcome to Geopolitical Trends, where truth matters. Imagine waking up this morning to the news that the US and Iran has reached major breakthrough, then watching live footage, which I'm about to share with you, of missiles lighting up Tel Aviv skyline. And that's exactly what just happened. Trump claimed the deal, Iran called him a liar, and he is, and then the bombs fell. This is why in this livestream I am going to be sort of pulling up the curtains on this fake diplomacy that Trump is claiming. I'm going to be talking about the real explosions that's taking place and what it all means for the entire region and the world for that matter, because that's what is going on as, as of now. All right, just once again, you, you just think about it, you think about it in a way that, uh, this, this events that is keep unfolding, and yet the media is not disclosing the accuracy of it or the truth about it. So the idea that, oh, Israel is fine, okay, and, uh, there are no explosions in Israel, and we are conducting negotiations with Iran— this is coming out of a president And that tells you the story right there. So, so what I'm going to do in this live stream, I'm going to play for you certain clips. I'll do the translation. They are short. Then I'm going to provide you my own analysis about what's really behind why Donald Trump is lying, because that will give you a better perspective as to what is going on. So let's start with the clip first, and I'm going to start it right away so this way we can move on on this. She's asking a question regarding the latest salvo of Iranian missiles, specifically those directed towards Tel Aviv and the south. Where is the current toll? He's saying according to the Israeli channel, well, estimates suggest or estimates suggest that more than one missile landed in open terrain. This is based on Israeli claims. However, three massive explosions were heard, audible even in the city of Jerusalem, following the activation of air raid sirens in Tel Aviv. Furthermore, footage captured by Israelis appear to show these missiles landing without being intercepted. This marks the second wave of launches within a span of approximately 4 hours. Iran had previously launched another salvo earlier today, meaning not today, today is yesterday, the day before, because that's, uh, that's when it happened, uh, towards the north, specifically towards Haifa, the, the Galilee, and the surrounding areas. Fragments of a cluster missile fired towards the north landed in Necher area, resulting in minor injuries to several, uh, Israelis and causing material damage at the impact site. We are witnessing a resumption of missile fire from Iran following a period of approximately 11 hours of calm. This lull occurred yesterday, specifically from the morning hours until the evening, and it was initially believed to be linked to reports of potential breakthrough in negotiations between Iran and American officials. However, by yesterday evening, the reality proved otherwise. This signifies that the missiles, uh, the missile fire has resumed, and that the sole explanation for the cessation of launches during those hours from yesterday morning until evening was likely due to factors related to the launch process itself, the missile platforms, or internal Iranian operational considerations, rather than being a consequence of negotiations or any reported progress, particularly in light of recent statements by US President Donald Trump. Okay, uh, The reason I— by the way, the reason I leave the screen on for you to see the images of really what's going on inside Tel Aviv. So here's what that anchor said towards the end. As a result, we are currently reporting the impact of several missiles in open areas according to the Israeli accounts. While Israeli emergency services confirmed that as of this moment they have received no reports regarding any Israeli casualties, which most likely they wouldn't want to disclose, uh, that one. Uh, once again, let me just put this back up here. And, uh, I wanted to— I'm not going to play it again. I just wanted to, uh, show you the— right there. I just want to show you the images of what is going on in certain parts of Iran. And I'm going to be certain parts of Israel. I'm sorry, uh, and I am going to be playing, uh, other clips where we highlight some of this. Now, the importance of this to understand, and I'm going to be playing a clip from US outlet now. Why the US outlet, you may ask? Is because they are realizing no matter how much, how much cover or cover up they're going to do as far as not letting the information out, they're going to fall behind. And especially here in the US, if you know anything about how the media in the United States works, it's all about the rating. So now, in my opinion, the US media outlets are realizing, you know what, we can't be behind because we're falling behind. You have, uh, uh, news outlets from overseas disclosing the truth. And in my case here, I happen to speak Arabic language. I'm able to understand it and do the translation for you. So the clip I'm going to be showing you is from the US, and I want you to take a listen. And I'll, uh, I think it's in English anyway. We don't have to worry about translation here. Let me just upload it here on the screen and you can— all right. Let me share it first and, uh, it show you the footage as is. There we go. Okay, let's play it.

This was a direct hit, whoa, whoa, not far from Israel's main nuclear reactor, showing Iran can keep raining missiles across Israel and Once again, this is a picture of Tel Aviv.

This is not Gaza.

In the Middle East, all while maintaining their almost total blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump told the Iranians last night they have 48 hours to unblock the strait or he would obliterate their power plants. Iran replied that all energy facilities belonging to the United States will be targeted in response. Only a day earlier, Trump said he was considering winding down his war against Iran Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessam spoke to NBC News's Kristen Welker.

Just to put a fine point on this though, is the president in the process of winding down this war or escalating?

Again, they're not mutually exclusive. Sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate. There were no reported deaths from Iranian missiles in southern Israel, but Israeli health officials said at least 180 people were injured, like in this apartment complex in Arad. All of this damage was caused by just one.

By the way, the Arad location, this one is near Dimona, which I will do a live stream for you to confirm some other aspects. I'm just waiting to confirm a few things. All right, let's continue here.

One Iranian ballistic missile that managed to evade Israel's formidable air defenses. It's just one impact.

Uh, hold on a second. This guy's saying formidable Israeli defense system. So you can just tell how the language also does not want to show the vulnerabilities that exist. And speaking of that, TikTok just removed one of my posts because I said something like this. They didn't want it. Tells you again.

A weekend that was uniquely violent for Israelis.

It was a very shocking boom.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said the attacks are proof Iran deliberately targets civilians.

Did you see any military sites or facilities around you? What they're doing is trying to kill as many civilians as possible.

Iranian state TV said the military intended—

Well, hold on a second, Levitt. Isn't that the same what Israel is doing inside Iran? I mean, let's be fair. An eye for an eye. Why play double standard? Oh, all right, let's continue here.

Ended the attacks on southern Israel to hit Israel's nearby nuclear research facility and reactor. Retaliation, it said, for Israeli strikes on its Natanz nuclear facility on Saturday. At least 15 people were also injured in Tel Aviv by debris falling from intercepted missiles. And in southern Lebanon, Israel is blowing up this bridge, it said, to keep Hezbollah operatives from moving south. Can Israelis still have faith in the anti-air defense that Israel is putting up here?

Well, we've had great success so far, over 92— over 90%, 92% interception rate. But even the best defense in the world is not perfect. But the best defense is making sure they can't fire these missiles anymore. Matt is joining us now from Tel Aviv. And Matt, the Iranian military says it is ready to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed for a while if it has to, right?

That's right, Hallie. If President Trump follows through on his threat to attack those Iranian power stations, the Iranians say they'll keep the Strait of Hormuz shut until those power stations are rebuilt. Hallie.

All right, I'm gonna stop right there because that's the end of it. And so very interesting. Once again, I want you to see with your own eyes and listen to the usage of certain words. And by the way, Uh, while I'm thinking about it, one of the reasons why Trump had to back down, which I will do a separate video because I don't want to overwhelm you with so much information, and second thing, I like to confirm, as you know. But one of the reasons I found out is that when Trump threatened to attack the electricity, the electric grids and so forth in Iran, guess what Iran said? Said, we will target the same. But what is the difference is is that if Iran attacks the electrical grids in the Middle East, in West Asia, we are not talking about just one location or one military, one US military post or base. No, no, no, we're talking about an entire country. In other words, Iran will be in a position to really darken the entire Gulf states by shutting down the electric grids if it is attacked. And that is one of the consideration that Donald Trump had to back down. But there are others that the reasons as to why that is. So, so what I'm gonna do next, I'm gonna be playing another clip, this one about, and I'll do the translation, this one about Tel Aviv being hit as of 48 hours ago. This is not from a week ago or so because it's been repeated and I'll do the translation. Then we'll move on into talking about Trump lying about this so-called negotiations. If the truth matters to you, hit like, subscribe, and tap that bell. No spin, no agenda, just the stories they don't want you to know. Don't watch from the sideline, be part of the movement. Your support keeps the truth alive. Thank you indeed. So let's do, uh, let's share the next clip here. And I'll do the translation for you. It's, uh, it's not that long. I decided, uh, to just keep this very, very short. Once again, I just want you to be aware of the images. The reason I leave the screen on, because I want you to see the images that is going on onto this. All right, let me start it here. Oh, sorry, I already moved on. Okay, this one. Let's start. What he's saying is the latest— in the latest developments, Israeli ambulance services reported that 6 people were injured by falling debris from Iranian missiles in Tel Aviv. Israel Army Radio stated that missile debris landed at 8 separate locations across Tel Aviv area, specifically within the city of Tel Aviv itself, as well as Ras Al Ain or Raj Ain in the central region. Meanwhile, Israeli media outlets reported that the latest incoming Iranian missile carried, uh, carried a cluster warhead dispersing numerous submunitions, each, each weighing approximately 100 grams and noted that significant damage was inflicted upon 3 buildings in Tel Aviv. Earlier, Iranian state television has announced the launch of a new salvo of missiles towards Israel, hours after the IRGC declared the commencement of the 78th wave of Operation True Promise 4. The IRGC confirmed that their targets included Eilat, Beimuna and northern Tel Aviv, in addition to US military bases in the region. Conversely, the Iranian Fars news agency reported that the United States and Israel had targeted energy facilities in Isfahan and Khorramshahr. The agency noted that these strikes hit a gas administration building and pressure reduction station in Isfahan, as well as a gas pipeline serving a power plant in Khorramshahr. The agency further confirmed that these attacks caused material damage to the targeted facilities and to several nearby homes. Just moments ago, the interception of an Iranian missile was witnessed over Israeli southern region, while search and rescue operations continue in Tel Aviv. Uh, uh, indeed. Yes, indeed, Ali. 7 distinct missile barrages have been launched from Iran towards Israel between midnight and this morning. These barrages impacted wide areas across Israel, triggering air raid sirens throughout the northern regions, specifically in the Galilee, the Golan Heights, and the Haifa Bay areas. Sirens also blared in the central region, including Tel Aviv and the outskirts of Jerusalem, as well as in the south, specifically in the Negev regions encompassing Birxiva, Daymona, and Arad. This, uh, this represents a series of successive strikes launched by Iran against these locations. Regarding the specific sites, since dawn today we have been reporting two barrages directly towards the south and two towards Tel Aviv. As I have already noted, rescue teams as well as police crews remain in the, in the Tel Aviv area in particular following an attack involving a cluster missile equipped with between 3 and 4 explosive warheads, each with— of which approximately 100 kilograms of explosives were involved, a payload that caused truly extensive damage to at least 3 buildings in Tel Aviv, as well as to a number of vehicles. Uh, where, according to Israeli emergency services, the incident resulted in minor injuries to 6 Israelis. Rescue teams and police forces continue to cordon off the targeted site in Tel Aviv. Barring anyone from approaching it. Furthermore, images and footage from the scene document the significant physical damage inflicted upon these locations. According to reports, the missile did not strike a building directly; rather, it landed between several structures, resulting in widespread damage across multiple buildings, as well as to numerous vehicles in the area. As for the most recent missile, which targeted the southern region, Israeli media reported that air defenses successfully intercepted it. According to statements from Magen David Adom, Israeli National Emergency Medical Service, this interception resulted in either falling debris nor any injury. Additionally, last night saw the targeting of the Haifa area. A building sustained a direct hit resulting in several injuries as well as structural damage to the building itself. I'm going to stop right here because this clip is so long, and he had some interviews. I listened to them. Uh, it just— it will be, uh, what I need you to understand It's really what's taking place on the ground physically. So you'll see the images. Now, there is one thing I want to highlight to you. Some might say, well, Iran is not hitting the building directly. There is a reason for that. And the reason for that is because the type of missiles Iran is firing. That's why when it landed, given how dense Tel Aviv, uh, is— to those who have been in Tel Aviv, it's very dense. So you're looking at a small square area with dense populated area. So when you land a missile between buildings, it's gonna damage whatever in its vicinity. That is the reason why Iran is doing it that way. So I wanted to just share this with you here to— for you to see with your own eyes. So now I'm gonna move into talking about really what's behind Donald Trump lying? Why would Donald Trump lie? Well, the first question that comes— not a first question, it is first question— is Donald Trump inherently a liar? You know, I ask that question because shame on a president that represent any country. Donald Trump doesn't represent me. I didn't vote for it. I don't vote anymore. It's because who you gonna vote for? And when a president like this lie to your face, that's to me, it's an insult as a citizen. You know, you think, well, we are stupid, we can understand. And that tells you right there where the mindset of most Americans, you know, who voted for a guy like this, or even for Democrat, you know, both parties are two faces of same coin here. Both of them are in support of Israel. Make no mistake about it. I'm, I'm here to tell you. But let's focus on exactly where and how this, uh, lying came about. Where Donald Trump posted on, on, uh, on Truth Social that, uh, as of yesterday— and here is the thing, he did it in all caps. Usually that's when you want to make something, uh, sort of, uh, drive a message home. And he said that all caps, that the US and Iran had over the last— in quote here— over the last 2 days very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and a total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East. End of quote. Here also, you know, to double down on this, he also went ahead and told the reporters that his son-in-law, uh, his, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, which is— I don't even know why the guy is talking on behalf of the US government. If you only know the history of the family of the Kushner in New Jersey, it'll make you shake your head as far as corruption and so forth. That's, that's another story for another day. So when he said that Kushner and Steve Werikoff had spoken on Sunday evening with the top person in Iran, which is a lie, and that the parties had reached— and I put this in quote— major points of agreement, end of quote, including that Iran would, in quote, never have a nuclear weapon, end of quote. It shows you right there, you know, the guy is lying to his teeth. How can he live with himself? How can he look at the mirror and tell the American people to their faces. For the Arab and Muslim countries in the Gulf, shame on them also, because none of those Arab leaders had the guts to even send the representative to Iran and figure out what this is all about. Because the hard truth that a lot of people do not know, certain explosions that's taking place inside Qatar, in Arab Emirates Bahrain, Kuwait, and all that. It's not Iran. It's not Iran that is doing that. As a matter of fact, Iran, uh, even Turkey concluded that it's not Iran that has been firing certain missiles in Turkey or in other locations in the region. And that is why it is important to understand these dynamics as to where the lies are coming from. So, so here is what Iran responded to this. Senior Iranian officials immediately and flatly denied any— that any talk with the US has taken place. It will be, of course, a strategic mistake if Iran will ever, ever trust the Americans or the British or the Europeans. Forget about it. As a matter of fact, the Iranian, uh, uh, uh, Parliament Speaker, uh, Muhammad Bagher Khalibaf— I have a picture of him right here— he rumored to be the top, which he's rumored to be the top person now, uh, in the parliament there, uh, he referenced to Trump to what he said, that no negotiations have been held with the US. This is what Mohammed Baghir said, and he is accusing, and rightly so, of Donald Trump of using the claim, you know why? To manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped, end of quote. He is absolutely spot on. Two things that the US and Israel didn't count on. First of all, they underestimated Iran's capabilities because Iran didn't disclose everything. And I believe, as one who did the research about Iran, wrote a book and kind of learned— because I— it took me 2 years of research to write this book about Iran. So you kind of acquire the knowledge. Iran will not play all its cards. Not only it's a strategic way to do it, but it's common sense also. So I will say with absolute conviction that Iran still have some surprises for the US and for Israel. And that is one of the reasons why also Donald Trump now is realizing and is backing down. Remember, I give you, Iran, 48 hours. If not, we're gonna obliterate you, and so forth. Now he's backing down. Oh, I'm going to give you 5 days, which are nothing but a bluff. Harare, that's all it is. And this is what you need to understand where this is. Even, uh, uh, Mr. Abbas Irakji, uh, confirmed that there was no talks. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson similarly denied any direct talks that has taken place. So that leads us to ask the legitimate question. What happened? What actually happened? Well, it's simple. You know, I remember when I was doing my master's degree in international security, we had to take a class. And you know what was that class about? Is the lies in the political scenes. So what we're looking at here is lie versus truth situation. And here is the fact: multiple sources familiar with the matter told the news outlet here in the US, even including CNN, which I don't listen to— I don't trust the American media— but now they are realizing they're falling behind if they don't pick up the stories as true as they are. And you know what this source told them? They told them— they are not— and the sources are high-ups in the government, US government— that they were not aware of any direct talks between the US and Iran. That is the hard truth of it. And this leads me to mention quickly, while I'm thinking about it— and sorry guys, I have to step aside from this while I'm thinking about it because I don't want to forget— the issue of Diego Garcia being attacked. And you remember that they said it was— and I mentioned it— that they said it was a British source. Uh-uh, there is nothing. Iran comes forward and said we have not attacked Diego Garcia, and, uh, a base. And that tells you the story right there. Someone is trying to pull Europe into the conflict. And if anytime I hear a source from Britain, I am immediately going to— you all remember the Russiagate story? And it was, uh, as a matter of fact, YouTube took down one of my clips that I had They, they said, no, you're violating this. You know why? Because I was disclosing the truth, and the truth came from, you know, an MI6 agent being recorded by an FSB. That tells you the story. So, uh, so far what I found, there is no truth about this, uh, Diego Garcia being hit by Iran, whatever, because Iran itself said no, we didn't. Iran is not going to lie about it. And this brings me— I just wanted to highlight to you while I'm thinking about it. And this brings me back to this conversation. But there is one fact that I was made aware of about 5 days ago. Didn't want to talk about it, didn't want to, like, ensure— as one who spent time in the Middle East, I understand how these dynamics work. There were some attempts by third countries behind the scenes to try to talk to Iran. But again, this is where I say shame on the Muslim leaders. They don't have the gut to hop on a plane and go to Iran and said, you know what, we want to talk, we just need to talk. And that gives you the story, like what Warwick Powell said yesterday. Those Muslim leaders in these Gulf states, shame on them. They have no, they have no, uh, no, no determination, no strong will. To say, you know what, America, we're gonna reach out to our neighbor and we're gonna figure this out. Because Iran made it clear Iran is not attacking its neighbors. Iran is attacking the US bases in those neighboring countries. Iran now has some sophisticated sort of imagery provided by the Chinese, very accurate. This is not an error of a missile landing about 100 meters No, no, no, no, no, no. We're talking about 10 meters from its intended targets, and that gives you the story right there. So there are some behind the scenes, uh, some have talks about Egypt and Pakistan. I will not jump to conclusions right now. That's why I am not— I'm sharing with you what's been reported, but I cannot confirm it 100%. Do I trust Egyptians? Hell no. Do I trust the Pakistanis? Hell no. And if you think what those two have in common, they are all under the thumb of the United States. Don't even think that the Pakistanis are saying we're gonna defend Iran if it is nuclear, if it is nuked by Israel. No, you know, I will take the word of Kim over Pakistan. Because remember, both countries, Pakistan and North Korea, declared that if ever Israel used nuclear against Iran, they will step in. Well, in this case, I think North Korea is going to go for it first, then Pakistan. Pakistan will have to think twice. Why? For a simple reason. Once again, as one who spent time on the ground in that part of the world, especially between Afghanistan and Pakistan, you know, I, as I and the US, they work together with the agency. So that's, that's, that's a fact. It's not a secret. You know, we've been giving the money, and usually when we give money to Pakistan government, we don't give it to the government, we give it to ISI. Simple as that. But anyway, we go with the argument that there's two countries in addition to Turkey. Well, of course, you know how Turkey is, back and forth. But anyway, they saying that they've been passing messages between the US and Iran as of last Sunday. That's why I said I was made aware of this 5 days ago, but I didn't want to say a word about it. And the argument for this, that they saying they passing this, uh, messages because they wanted to have a direct call between Iran and, and, and the US. My advice, especially to the Iranians, it will be strategic mistake if you ever open any door for negotiations with the Americans right now for a simple reason. Why? Because Iran has the upper hand in this war. It is not the US that is winning the war. I am preparing an analysis for you. I'm going to release it on Saturday or Sunday, uh, this, this weekend, and really highlight to you the defeat of the US and why that is. Iran now has the upper hand And it is my belief, it is my belief, and, and to those who might disagree with me, which you are entitled to, that's how we learn from each other. I believe, and please share your, your, uh, your, your feedback on the chat box. I believe that the end of US dominance in the region and the end of Israel's invincibility and dominance is going to come at the hand of Iran, and it's already starting right now. Wait until I get to next time when I do the livestream about Daymuna, and I'll share some stuff with you about this. And that's how I see it moving forward. And this is where two regional sources said that the US had shared 15-point list of expectations with Iran via Pakistan. I don't buy it. I wouldn't buy— I would not buy that. This is nothing but, you know, fillers in the air to show, oh, we are trying to reach. But also it's not about that. It's about that we are stuck in a war that we don't know how to get out of it. And of course, if Iran would have ever agreed to that, they would have announced something.

Yeah.

And there is another source that contradicted this. So you have sources now that they are contradicting each other. The other source that I found is that saying that, you know what, this 15 point that the US provided, it will be next to impossible for Iran to accept. And this paved the way for us to think why Trump is lying. He's lying because there is the market angle to all this. Because here is what happened. A lot of most of us Americans have no clue as to— we don't even know why we are into this to begin with. Because what's going on right now is that there is data coming out of certain financial institutions here in the US and some in Britain, but those are not government affiliated, those are independent. So what they are disclosing is that they're finding out that the— there were major deals, business deals worth approximately significant amount of money, were made literally 15 minutes before Trump posted productive negotiations with Iran. And you know where it was disclosed? Not by US source, not by British source. It was disclosed by Pravda. You know where Pravda is. That means the Russians had insights. The, the— that's part of the, uh, part of the second signal intelligence. They have some info That's why they disclosed this, because this is what's fueling now the accusations that the announcements by Donald Trump was timed to move oil and equity markets up. Because what happened, you know, I watched the, the markets because I have money invested in stuff, and I watch where things are. The moment Donald Trump said this, the market went up. So what I need you to understand, because here is the, the, the bottom line to all this, is that Donald Trump literally significantly lied, but overstated this state of diplomacy. Because to him is confusing day and night. And even if we are to talk about some sort of, uh, uh, some sort of, uh, uh, indirect, indirect talks or back-channel messages passed through a third party, you know, nothing substantive about it. And whether some will say, well, this does not amount to lying, uh, that's just a strategic spin or a wishful characterization of a sort of— is a matter of interpretation. That's the bottom line to it. However, Iran's denials was swift and pointed. That is what I need you to understand, because Iran knows it has the upper hand, not the US, not Israel. And the pathetic Muslim leaders in the Gulf are just watching, watching from the sideline. What a shame, what a shame. And that is exactly where you have to understand. So I'm going to share with you 4 points and do my conclusion and conclude this live stream here. So why is Trump lying? We're gonna have to think about this because you think about the exaggeration and the spin that goes beyond just the fabrication of information and truth. And that's why I'm trying to help you make sure you guys don't consume whatever is being said out there.

Be—

have that critical intellectual curiosity to filter out facts from fictions. Here's the first reason why possibly Donald Trump is lying, and this is again my own interpretation, knowing how, uh, somebody at that position, given my time, uh, for the past decades or whatever in, in the government and understanding the hierarchy It's because Donald Trump wants to back down from his own ultimatum without looking weak. Basically what we call it saving face. Just go back to Saturday this past weekend. What did Trump say this past weekend? Are we talking about just 3 days ago? He said that I give Iran 48 hours ultimatum to open the Strait of Hormuz or face strike on its biggest power plant. That was Saturday. On Monday, yesterday, on Monday, he extended that by 5 days, citing productive negotiations. And as I said, I will do a video for you specifically about this because you need to know. And the critics are calling this Trump latest TACO. We don't know what it means, an acronym for Trump always chickens out. That's what Taco is all about. Overstating the, the, the, the progress of talks gives him political cover for retreating from the threat he couldn't easily follow through on because he knows what the response from Iran will be. And I am convinced at this stage Iran has more other surprises. Second point, to calm the financial market down. Trump's announcement often seen conveniently tied to open and close financial markets, because here is the trick. He waited for the announcement. Look, go back to— if you have a Truth Social, whatever, you check that, check out the time and the dates, of course, and the timing, because he always, uh, mentioned the day at the time. He waited until after the markets closed to announce the initial strike. And his claim that the Iran war was very complete, pretty much, in quote, sent struggling market higher before he walked it back after the market closed. And this is why Iran itself has accused now Donald Trump of trying to calm the energy market. With the negotiations claim, which has no truth whatsoever. Number 3, to avoid catastrophic escalation he wasn't prepared for and he didn't count on. Trump's decision to back down from his threat to destroy Iran's power infrastructure came after US allies and Gulf countries privately warned him of the danger of the following through, which is true. Some members of the Gulf states When you look at, uh, I put the map here. Those countries— Saudi Arabia, uh, uh, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait— they did reach out to Donald Trump and said forget about targeting, uh, Iran's, uh, uh, nuclear, uh, not nuclear, but rather the power infrastructure. And the reason for that is because Iran announced that we will shut down electricity in the entire Gulf region. That means the entire Gulf region will go blackout. Can you imagine that? That is one of the reasons why. So those so-called US allies, I don't know why they still calling themselves US allies. I mean, I think I— it's not I fear, I do see over the horizon, you're gonna have now the population in those countries, they might rise up. Yeah, don't be shocked, they might rise up in Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, even Saudi Arabia itself. Saudi Arabia now is struggling with oil prices going down. And this is why inventing diplomatic progress for Donald Trump was a face-saving to pause without admitting he's been pressured. Number 4, a pattern of using negotiations as a pretext. You all remember how this war started to begin with, while the US and Iran were negotiating, and he went ahead and bombed them in the middle of negotiations. This is exactly Donald Trump wants to buy time. But again, are you going to trust now sitting down with America? I've been saying this, yes, it's my country and all that, but I don't shy away from saying the truth. We have zero credibility We have none. No country on Earth now will trust the Americans to deal with— unless you are a vassal state, then that's your prerogative. And because what Trump is trying to do— buy time, gather information, and trying to build the public support for military action. No, no, no, no, no. American people are waking up. American people are waking up. And that is why he warned the approach frames US negotiations. It's nothing but a PR. It's a PR, public relations stunt. He meant to do one thing, to buy time, also to gain information, and of course to say, well, we tried the regime change and it didn't work. And here is the fifth point and the last point I want to talk about this. Is the genuine confusion that exists. What counts as a talk? Because it may all— it might not be all cynical, you know, fair to say, but I don't think so. There was any, any readiness, at least from Iranian part, to start any talk at this point. No, Iran was willing to compromise during the talks, but Israel didn't like it. As a matter of fact, Israel now is very furious at the US for even mentioning this, that the US is willing to talk or is talking to Iran. And that tells you right there who is in the driver's seat regarding this war. So Donald Trump may have interpreted Really genuinely interpreted backchannel message passing through so-called Egypt and Turkey and Pakistan as the equivalency of direct negotiations. That is self-serving, but not entirely sort of fabricated. Because here's the bottom line, I need you to understand. When you think about the interpretation about all this is that Donald Trump conflated the indirect diplomatic signaling with the full-blown negotiations. The last reading of it supported that the market's timing and the pattern of his behavior throughout this conflict is that he deliberately overstated progress to move the market retreat from Bad, bad, bad, bad outcome. Because remember, we have the upcoming election in November. Remember, Donald Trump was already canceled— not canceled, postponed— because maybe— because Chinese never confirmed. Remember the upcoming trip, that trip that was supposed to take place on 28th of this month through April 4th? Now April 2nd. Now it's going to be postponed. And that gives you the story right there. The Chinese weren't eager even to meet with him. It's like, ah, forget about that. So here is my conclusion for you, because I want to conclude all this in one. What we are witnessing right now is this, the dangerous collision of political spin and lies and real-world consequences with missiles still hitting Tel Aviv and rending it, same images as in Gaza. So Donald, as a result, Donald Trump's claim of a breakthrough wasn't just an exaggeration, it was a fat lie. And here is the even better— is that this Donald Trump lie an exaggeration? Guess how Iran answered it. It answered it with a ballistic missile over Tel Aviv. And when the world leaders, like in this case Donald Trump, manufacture a reality for political convenience, sadly real people, average citizens, pay the price. West Asia and the Middle East doesn't need— really, it does not need better headlines. What really Middle East and West Asia need It's for the pathetic, those head of states, to stand and take a leadership role in saving their people, serving their population, and taking honest leadership instead of just wishy-washy. And I am afraid to say, and no offense to any Muslim here, Whatsoever. I have wonderful Muslim viewers in the channel and I cherish them being here and all that. But hypocrisy, hypocrisy has been the norm in certain Muslim countries. When I'm talking about Muslim countries, I'm referring to the leadership. I'm not talking about the people. What the leaders says versus what they do. Hypocrisy. And yet they go and pray. And yet they go and say, God, How can you do that? How can you look at the mirror? What a shame. What a shame. I will be, as I said, I will be doing, uh, two updates for you. One of them about Ben Gurion Airport that's been hammered, and the second one about Dimona. So in the next few days and so on, I take this opportunity to say thank you to virtual team for your generous donation in support of my upcoming trip to Asia. Speaking of that, let me put the banner for it because I like to give credit where credit is due, if I can find it. Anyway, I don't know where it is. Right there, Truth Matters. This is the link if you want to support my upcoming Asia trip. I give also, uh, my appreciation to Fu for buying me many cups of teas in support of this upcoming Asia trip. If you— thank you so much for your support for the channel also. I know each time whenever you come in, join us for live, you always, uh, put a Super Sticker for this. So thank you so much for your generosity. Also, I want to give a, a shout out to, uh, Message 43. Thank you for your generosity in buying me so many cups of teas in support of my upcoming Asia trip. And for those who supported the channel, I want to give a shout out to, uh, once again, Universal for, uh, buying me a cup of coffee in support of the channel. But also, I want you to know, the community, Universal support the channel also on your behalf. Because he said, or she said, I don't know, screen name. This is for the community also. So I just want you to be aware of this. And let me go to the screen here and of course say thank you to Army with Harmony, as always gifting membership to others. So kind of you for supporting the channel. Kevin Baptist, it goes without saying, man, I can't thank you enough for your generosity. You've been an avid supporter of the channel. You wrote, US is collapsing on its own lies and contradictions, Doc. I agree with you, couldn't agree more. Of course I state the obvious, but this collapse is hurting my pocketbook, not Trump, his cronies, and the oligarchs. You're absolutely spot on. This is why I did that video for those— I don't know if you to those who— I did a video recorded, I released it on Sunday. Go, go take a look at it if you haven't done, done so. It's, uh, the, the collapse of the US petrodollar and so forth, which is a reflection of what's going on in the system. So once again, thank you very much, Kevin, truly appreciate you. And here you are again, another Super Sticker. Thank you once again. This trade is only closed to the US and its allies. It's open for business if you are willing to pay, y'all. Am I wrong, Doc? No, you're not. As a matter of fact, the Strait of Hormuz is not closed. Let me, let me reiterate that. It is not— is closed to the US and Israel and any other vassal states that is doing or supporting those two countries. But others is open to others. There is the statement that Iranian made which has to do with that the payments for the transits will have to be done in the Chinese renminbi or yuan. So, and that tells you about the fear in the United States about losing the petrodollar, because if we lose the petrol— not if, when— it's over for the US. I'm telling you this, I live here, I've been inside, I know what, what's going on and what's going to be happening too. And I am ready for some sort of social tensions erupting in this country Oh, I see it's over the horizon. So once again, thank you, Kevin, truly appreciate. Oh, that's another super sticker here. Here you are. The Strait is only close to the US and its allies. That is correct, you're absolutely correct. And last person I give shout out to here is Lali Bella. Thank you so much for your generosity here, appreciate you. The Gulf states have long hated Iran since the Sunni-Shiite split. Split. They likely expected Israel and the US to quickly dominate, allowing them to enter as victors. Instead, they now see they were pawns and that the West ultimately distrusts them as well. Spot on. I couldn't say it better. You're absolutely correct, uh, uh, and, and, and I couldn't agree more. This is exactly where the problem is. And I— funny, what you wrote, uh, is exactly what I reflected in my Saudi book. Saudi. Why? Because majority of the Shia lives in the south. What's in the south of Saudi Arabia? Majority of oil fields. This is where those, those Gulf states needs to really rethink, because those Gulf states have majority Shia presence there. And by the way, this is not about Shia-Sunni thing. The US and Israel will try to push the religious divide Iran made it clear it has nothing against its neighbors. What it has a problem with is the presence of American bases on the territory of those neighbors. They are legitimate targets. So once again, Lila— La Bella, I'm sorry— thank you so much for your super stickers. Anyway, tomorrow I will be working on the two other stories, and I look forward to seeing you next time. As always, remember, geopolitics impact your daily life in more ways than one. Till next time, bye-bye.
