IRAN MISSILES HIT U.S. BASES: The Real Damage Revealed…

Hello everybody and welcome to Geopolitical Trends, where truth matters. Excited to be with you as always. The Pentagon said that our bases were fine, but satellite images tells a completely different story, a terrifying story if I may add. While some Americans were sleeping, advanced Iranian missiles bypassed our best air defenses leaving US installations in the region in ruins and American troops dead. That is the harsh truth. And Trump is already now embarking on another strike, but this time the US might have walked into a trap. What he doesn't get— and here is the real damage that they don't want you to know or even show the images. That was the reason why I had to wait for 48 hours to check and verify the accuracy of some images I'm going to be sharing with you, some satellite images and so forth. Then we'll just go from there. So, so I'm gonna have a just a heads up for those who are already here, it's gonna be a long live stream here because there is a lot and a lot of stuff that I have to cover, uh, and I can't just give you, uh, uh, the short version of the stories. You need to know the full picture. So like I said, the, the, the Pentagon is saying, well, well, our bases are fine. Uh, in reality they are not. It's because of what has happened. So the US has suffered now major losses, and, and, and, and the truth always comes up. It ain't going to be disclosed right away, but the truth eventually comes up. So And that's why most of the US troops now in the region are on a high alert. So, so you have some service members that already, uh, there's already missing one that to my knowledge the US is looking for him right now. So, and all this was the result of the high, uh, speed, uh, Iranian ballistic missiles. I am talking about Shahed, uh, to my knowledge, or Shahab 3. This is the type of missile that we have nothing to defend against. So this is not, uh, some have, uh, there are some conflicting report that it was, uh, sort of the Sajjil missile. No, it was not, to my knowledge and to the confirmations that I got. It was Shahab 3. That is the one that was used in this recent, uh, uh, strike on Muafak Salty Air Base in Jordan. So I'm gonna be— the way I'm gonna do this is I'll provide my analysis and at the same time play some clips for you to, uh, sort of, uh, show you exactly what I'm talking about. So I'm gonna start with the first one right here, and I'm gonna share it, uh, with you before I move an inch here. So, so let me, uh, and again, this, uh, uh, just to show you how the base was before. And this is satellite images that's revealing the direct hit on the US military facility in Jordan. So take a look here. There's no sound on it, it's just the images, uh, uh, uh, during, before, and after the strike. So, and that's in Muwafak Saltir Air Base, which destroying the base building basically. And that is why when the US is saying our bases are fine, no, it is not true. It is not true. And that's why the US went ahead and relaunched, or launched rather, its 9th consecutive retaliatory strikes. But like I said at the beginning, Donald Trump doesn't realize he is walking into a trap. Because what some voices inside the US, but they wanted to remain anonymous, and I confirmed it yesterday, they wanted to remain anonymous. Of course they're not going to disclose the names. And guess what they're saying? They're saying what Iran has as far as the, uh, uh, uh, uh, storage of the missiles, the quantity of missiles it had, it still had, US will not be able to match that. And as a matter of fact, Iran now is preparing, besides what they're dealing with right now, it's preparing for the bigger one regarding Israel, which will be my— that's for the next 48 hours. I'm going to be providing you a coverage for that. So, so let's talk about the military fallout, the US losses into all this. So, and as I said, the, the strikes took place 48 hours ago on the 17th, 18th, uh, of, of, uh, July, and specifically in Jordan. That's why I did that short clip yesterday for you, just to give you an idea of why all of a sudden Jordan is coming to the forefront. Well, of course Jordan deserves a closer look at this, in addition to Kuwait and Bahrain and Amman and all that. And I'm gonna address those in, in a second here. But, but for the, uh, Jordan the Kingdom of Jordan, US forces were sort of, uh, present in that country. And most of the Jordanians have no clue why. Like I mentioned yesterday, I remember Amman, the capital of Jordan, has been for years, of course, denying the presence of US military forces, but positioning itself as the— well, we are the one fighting for the Palestinians. Nonsense, nonsense. It's just for show. I'm here to tell you it's for show. This is why Iran specifically chose to put the missile, the ballistic missile, uh, into Al-Azraq specifically. And like I said, it wasn't about just Jordan, it was about what's going on on the Jordanian territory as far as the US forward base, or FOB, uh, uh, that is operating inside Jordan, which deals with Jordan, Iraq, Syria, and the whole, uh, Levant area. So, and that is exactly where the issue is. So when you hear, or the Jordanian government's coming on saying we don't have any military presence, no, they are lying straightforward. So, so far what you need to understand is that there were about 16 death for US military since February. Of course, that's just what's known. We don't know the true numbers. We don't know the true number of those injured at the same time. But this is beside the point because I am not here to talk about casualties and all that stuff. So, because war is, is, is, is destruction, you know. Who wants war? Well, apparently we are looking for it, and we're gonna be paying dearly for it. And this is where you have now the Central Command is putting the entire 50,000 troops on a high alert. But at the same time, we are sending more aircraft. As a matter of fact, there are more aircraft, more, uh, uh, uh, not aircraft, aircraft fighter jets, that's what I meant to say, and refueling planes. They are heading out to Israel. Well, guess where they're gonna be? They're gonna be in Ben Gurion, right? And we all know what happened with Ben Gurion and what Iran can do. Is this why Iran is preparing? Because to my knowledge, Iran is preparing something about Israel, which doesn't make any sense for why the US will go ahead and put the, uh, the fuel tankers and all that all the assets in Ben Gurion when we know it is within reach for Iran ballistic missiles? Because the Iron Dome, the David's Sling, the Arrow 3 were incapable of stopping those missiles. And the truth is that with the last 48 hours, US defense systems couldn't stop this missile from hitting in Jordan. That is the harsh reality of it. So, and this is where you think about, you put all this into within the context of the battle over the Strait of Hormuz. Well, it's too late because now Iran officially and completely closed, uh, uh, the Strait of Hormuz to international traffic. We're looking at a 20-25% of the world's seaborne energy supply that goes through there. No more, at least for the time being. And we all know what the price is going to be moving forward. This is something we didn't think through. And now officially Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz completely. And the US that has been, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, screaming bloody loud about we're gonna reopen the Strait of Hormuz, where are you? Even the Europeans now are hesitating because we have reached out, by the way, to Europe asking some countries to get involved. In a reopening this way of Hamas? They're like, I don't think so, I don't think so, because do you know what's involved in this? And this is why we are going after the infrastructure, civilian, and that's not a sign of strength, that's a sign of weakness. So think about what the US has been targeting. It's been targeting bridges, highways, railways, junctions, and even Last night, to my knowledge, once again, we struck one, one location near, uh, uh, almost like a, a cancer, uh, for children, for hospital, for, for, for sick, uh, sick, uh, children. Why would you target a place like that? It's like what we did with the school, targeting the, the, uh, schoolgirl. Why? Why? Those are not military targets, and that tells you right there this is not about strength, this is about weakness. Of course we're saying, oh, we're only targeting those locations or those infrastructure, uh, near the port city of Bandar Abbas because we wanted to isolate the IRGC naval forces logistically. No, no, no, no, no. Now when you're targeting civilian infrastructure, and the moment you target civilian infrastructure That's a declaration of war. And here is what we didn't think about, is the regional spillover, which what we are witnessing right now. So, and that is why Iran is countering US air defenses by utilizing a highly maneuverable, fast reentry ballistic missile like Shahab-3. And I confirmed it, and it was indeed, that's what it was used. We have nothing against this. And Iran didn't even use some other hypersonic advanced ones. Maybe they keeping it for soon, whatever that might be. So, and what did Iran do with all this is went ahead and target those locations, which gives you an idea. I will, I will tackle this in a second here. It gives you an idea, first of all, about the accuracy of the target. This doesn't happen in a vacuum, by the way. We will We will, we will detail this one here. Then Iran want to hit and target the ally locations. And these allies, by the way, Iran has nothing against those countries. Iran has the, uh, the problem is with those countries hosting US, uh, installations on their territory. And that is why Iranian forces have expanded their target parameters. It's not limited only to US, uh, sort of aircraft carrier or a naval asset or destroyer or what have you. So because what Iran now is doing is also striking critical other water desalination and power plants in Kuwait, well, because who uses that beside the Kuwaiti people is the US forces. And I'm gonna tell you this, I'm not gonna, you know, I'll share it with you. We My unit, my former unit, a lot right there, 1st Cav. One of our rotation was in Kuwait. There were two locations, one in Kuwait and one in Egypt. Those were two our locations when we do the yearly rotations. So Iran, like, like it's, it's an eye for an eye. The US went ahead and targeted the bridges and all that. Iran is going and targeting the bridges also. The US targeted the water installation in Iran. Iran is doing the same in Kuwait. So, and that's why it launched the salvo of missiles, which, by the way, once again, the Jordanian government's coming on saying, oh, our interceptors have intercepted the, uh, the, the Iranian missiles. The same thing the Saudis, Saudis are saying. What if the Saudis are saying this, why are they going ahead and closing the bridge with Bahrain? This is the bridge that connects Bahrain to Saudi Arabia. Why are they closing it if their interceptors are able to shut down Iran missiles? And right there it tells you, it just hypes, no more, no less, no more, no less. So now the next question becomes, with this, is how hard were US bases hit by Iran's missile? You know, US installations have faced extensive and increasingly lethal bombardment. Once again, the media here is not going to disclose this, and I'm going to be playing clips as I move along, moving forward. You're looking at at least 20, 20 targeted military sites across 8 countries. You have the major and severe infrastructure, destruction caused by Iran's missile. And you have also the American combat fa— uh, fatalities. It's because Iran's missile bypassing the regional air defenses for all countries combined. Why? For a simple reason, you may ask. It's because Iran has deployed advanced high-speed maneuverable ballistic missiles, which, if you know anything about the, the, the trajectory of this, there is one thing about it is that the shift, uh, uh, uh, uh, those type of missiles shift their trajectory mid-flight. That's why US couldn't stop it, you know. Israel couldn't stop it. Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, all of them, they're just saying this. It's all for domestic consumption. Well, I am gonna get into the detail now of talking about the casualties and the ground damage. So let's start first with the Muwafak Salti Air Base in Jordan. I have a picture of it, uh, right here. This is where the F-16s— usually that's where. And by the way, this picture is not from the recent— this is an old picture. I just want to show you the base and itself, but that's the base that was targeted. So, and I'm going to show you a satellite image of this one, okay? This is a satellite image by Planet Lab of the Muwafak Salt Air Base in, in, uh, Jordan. That was before it was targeted. The reason why I show this, those are the Usually it's the same formation for— this is the Jordanian flag on this, uh, fighter jets there. But this is the satellite image. So, so now think about what's going on. Hit hardest in recent days, and this is why this massive, massive barrage of missiles that was launched on, uh, 17th, 18th of July, which killed 2 service members first, wounded 4 Okay, and left one missing in action. They don't know where the person is. So, and this is an earlier strike before that at the same hub, wounded 20 US troops rushing to bunkers and severely fractured aircraft shelters. You know, the images— of course the Jordanians will have to do what we tell them to do. And what we're going to tell them to do? Do not allow the publication of images, but at least some other satellite images will be able to, to— so I'm going to play a clip for you, uh, and, and, and, and you see for yourself. Let's take a look here. All right, what I want you to see is, uh, uh, the, the launching of the missiles right away. So watch this one here. This is by Megan Kelly. That's the one I came across and verified it, by the way. Take a listen, please.

This— check out the footage of the attacks targeting Jordanian bases last night. Holy shit, what a wild video as Iranian ballistic missiles and drones slammed into the sites. This is absolutely despicable because two US servicemen were killed in action in Jordan as US Central Command and partner forces defended against the Iranian assault, with one service member still missing and others medically evacuated to Jordanian hospitals. Then you see Donald Trump at a recent press conference declaring that Iran has no army and they can't do anything about it, boasting, "We've destroyed their military," while pushing all the press out of the room. Yet here we are with Donald Trump Benjamin Netanyahu's initiative, this illegal war they started with the country of Iran 142 days ago that they promised would be over in 4 to 6 weeks. We're way past that deadline, and the US is still bombing the same Iranian nuclear facilities that Trump claimed he obliterated over a year ago, with many American lives lost in the process as Iran strikes back hard.

And again, just to highlight to you where things are, and I wish some of those journalists standing in front of Trump, you know, confront him with the reality, the truth. You know, to me, that's what leadership matters. You tell him to his face respectfully, of course. It doesn't matter. He's the President of the United States. You give the proper respect. But at the same time, you tell him to his face like, Mr. President, you need to stop lying. There is nothing wrong about asking him that way or talking to him that way because what he's saying are lies. So I'm gonna play another clip for you, and this one here also highlight similar because I had to confirm what's been, what's been said from different sources, and I want you to be aware of that. Take a listen, please.

Fired missiles at the US Air Base in Jordan yesterday. It did something else as well. It published an open letter to the Jordanian people telling them that Iran bears no enmity towards Jordan, that it loves them as a noble people who understand Palestinian suffering, and called on them to dismantle American bases on their territory. This letter tells us something important about Iran's strategy because while it is addressed to ordinary Jordanians, it's really a message to Jordan's ruling class as well. It's attempting to drive a wedge between what Washington and the Jordanian elites by connecting their security to their position vis-à-vis the United States and its military footprint. But the problem for Iran is that the relationship between Arab rulers and Washington is not built on public opinion. It's built on security guarantees that protect the government themselves, a bargain that has been durable enough to survive decades of popular Arab sentiment running in the other direction. What Iran is attempting to accelerate now is a political cost that accumulates slowly and gradually over time, and that someday may just work.

Subscribe, which is true. It's the idea I always believed. Once US forces are out of those countries, the Gulf states, all of them, no exception, uh, let me, let me put the map here for you so you see. Iran will not attack those countries. I, I bet on it. I bet my credibility on this one. Iran will not do it once the US, once those countries ask the US to leave permanently, because the issue between Iran and those countries is not the countries themselves, is the, uh, the, uh, the authorization. Those countries are allowing US military bases to be there from where they launched attack against Iran. That is where the issue is. So, so, and that's straightforward. So, and this is why you have this targeting of the eastern part of Jordan. You have the targeting of a location inside Saudi Arabia, King Faisal Air Base, you know. And those are with separate wave of missiles directly struck the residential facility, wounding 5 Americans and heavily damaged a fleet of parked US Black Hawk helicopters. This is what the media is not disclosing here. So, and that applies also to the Gulf States targets. So, and this was reported Overseas in London is reported that millions of dollars in damages to the state-of-the-art radar array and refueling aircraft that Iran has inflicted on the US. And we are not— for example, you take 3 locations, one of them where the air defense— they— the— I'm sorry, the defense radar at the Ali al-Salim Air Base in Kuwait. Then you have the ammo depot at the Camp Al-Adiri, which is in Kuwait also. Alongside, you have a ballistic missile salvo aimed at the US facility in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. And I got a picture of the— what's the name of this— Al-Adiri. Yes, I think I got a picture of it. Yeah, right there. Those are the Black Hawk. They were targeted, destroyed. Did we— did any, any mainstream media here in the US disclose this information? No, it did not. And with this comes the, the other logical question: why the US defenses are struggling against Iran missiles? Because this is a legitimate question. If we are selling— by the way, just yesterday I got a word that the Saudis decide to buy $2 billion of US weapons. $2 billion makes you just shake your head out of the, the stupidity. But again, like I always say, it is not about the security, it is about the survival of those monarchies in the Gulf States. If there is anything you need to keep in mind when it comes down to the Persian Gulf, or when it comes down to the— those Arab Gulf States, or Muslim Gulf States, whatever you want to call them, it is about the survival of the monarchies. That's the bottom line to it. So why, why the US defenses, uh, are struggling? Well, because when you're dealing with maneuverable ballistic technology, uh, you have no chance. Iran, that's what it's utilized— specialized payloads that travel at extreme hypersonic speeds. At the same time, with that fast speed is the maneuverability. It maneuvered as this streak towards the Earth because it goes outside the atmosphere and re-entry, making the traditional Patriot and, and the THAAD missile interceptors useless, useless. That's exactly what Israel found out. This is why Israel right now is on a high alert. And I'll do— I'll do— I will do a separate analysis for you about this, because what's coming— but it's already— because they know what Iran's going to be using, the types of missiles. So Israel's Iron Dome, uh, the, uh, uh, David's Sling, and the artillery stands no chance. US is finding that out. But also, you have to think about one key factor to all this— why the US defenses are struggling. Remember at the beginning I told you I am going to be talking about the satellites, right? Here is why. And when you see something like this, who do you think of? This is the Chinese BeiDou. And the Chinese BeiDou will be able to give you all that you need, from the monitoring stations to synchronization uplink to the— you're talking about the sections, which means— because now it's became, uh, clear that the US intelligence assessment is that they suspect that the Russians and the Chinese are actively providing targeted tracking and satellite data to help Iran pinpoint fixed US military infrastructure. And who do you have to sort of say thank you to is to Beidou. Now you see why, why Iran went after specifically this particular airbase in Jordan. It wasn't coincidence. You can see why the satellite images are pinpointing exactly what you see on the right. That's the, uh, the squadron, the, the, the fighter jets there on, on that side. Then once you have most likely on this buildings, there's the fuel, fuel storage. There is another location here for other aircraft and so forth. So satellite images will allow Iran's drones— those are Iran's drones, by the way, those are the high-speed drones that Iran use also. And when you have those fast missiles Because what it says right there in Arabic, by the way, it says, what the IRGC threatened is with the worst that is coming. And that is why my, my belief, my own analysis, which suggests that what Iran is preparing in addition to what it's doing already is the next target, and the next target is Israel. This is why Israel went ahead in, in, uh, in, uh, full alert— high alert, rather— and why the US now is sending more fuel jets into Israel. But Iran knows exactly where to hit. Ben-Gurion is not, uh, is not shielded. Iran proved it last time. The other location that Iran targeted, which will surprise you Is Oman. Yeah, I didn't expect this. I didn't expect it. But at the same time, this is what I'm saying. Some of those Gulf states, you can't trust them. They'll tell you to your face, we are Muslims, we are this, then they'll stab you in the back. That's the ultimate picture or image of hypocrisy. That's the only way I can see it. So, so when you look at, look at this map, you know, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and here is Oman. Why will Iran go and attack this particular one specific location? Again, you're gonna have to say to yourself, and I'm gonna show you, uh, uh, the image of the satellites that provided that particular location. And what are we talking about here? We're talking about The IRGC revealed its most dangerous attack in the region. It wasn't the one on Jordan, no, it was the one on Amman.

Why?

Because that's where American radars are located. So I'm going to show you a clip to share it with you, and you can, uh, you can see for yourself. Okay, it's in, it's in, it's in Arabic, but don't worry, I, I will provide you the, the, the translation. Very brief, very short. What I wanted to show you is the images. That's what I want to show you. And here's what it says. For its part, the IRGC announced the destruction of a maritime surveillance radar and US air surveillance radar in Oman. The Guard, meaning IRGC, also stated that it has targeted a radar, weapon depots, and two missile launchers at the US base in Kuwait, and launched a surprise attack on US command center in Al-Tanf area of Syria. Furthermore, it declared that it would not permit the export of any oil or gas through the Strait of Hormuz as long as the US attacks continue. That's— again, uh, I did have a picture, I thought I David Oualaalou. Uh, yeah, at Tanaf base. By the way, Jordan knows about the presence of this base even though it says Syria. No, don't fall for that. I'm going to show you the map where it's located. Look where Jordan is, look where Tanaf is. Do you think this is a coincidence? No, this is a strategic location. I was aware of it when I used to go to Iraq. In Iraq, we were aware of all that. And as a matter of fact, my last trip was supposed to be to Syria, but after the issue, whatever, I left. I said I'm done. It shows you right there. And when you look at the other map, look at what Iran end up bombing, targeted locations. Here is the camps of Kuwait that attacked, the other location of Kuwait. This is one in Bahrain, this one in, uh, in Dubai. Then you have the one in United Arab Emirates. Then you have one in Qatar. And this is the US Embassy, which by the way in, in Riyadh wasn't attacked, but there was an announcement came out of the US Embassy in Jordan. So, and that is once again, I need you to understand the importance of this target. So I'm going to play another major clip for you. Because again, the reason I'm playing those clips, it's because you are not going to hear this in mainstream media. Even in Europe, they are not going to disclose. Remember, Europe does what we tell them to allow to publish and so forth. So, so I'm going to do the translation for you just so you can watch the images here, and, and we just go, go from there basically here. So here's what it says: over the past 2 hours— that's from the 18th when the attacks, were issued by both IRGC and the Army of Iran. That is, both addressed Iranian strikes on US bases across the region spanning Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain. Notably, the Army— Iranian Army, that is— statement was relatively lengthy compared to IRGC. It detailed the intensive strikes on bases in Bahrain, reporting destruction to the, the bases themselves associated storage facilities, and apparently hangars for unmanned aerial vehicles, UAVs. The statements also mentioned or alluded to strikes on a US Army ammo depot at Camp Oderi, as well as buildings, headquarters, and ammo depots at the Al Ali Al Salim Air Base in Kuwait. It also, uh, I think they're going to show— yeah, it's going to show some images. Let me move it forward to the images right there for you to see. It also cited damage to bridges and telecommunications towers in the country, meaning Kuwait. Furthermore, the army statements indicated that following this initial Iranian attacks, army drones targeted US fuel tanks in Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan. It highlights that Al-Azraq base is a vital US base due to its location, infrastructure, and the deployment of advanced military equipment there. Consequently, targeted Iranian strikes on the base would impair the US military ability to launch future operations against target, uh, targets within Iran. Uh, regarding human loss, for example, the death toll of— in the wave of escalation has been ongoing for a week between Iran and the United States, which has exceeded 40 people in addition to more than 400 injured people, some of whom were discharged from hospitals. So I just wanted to show you this briefly, that part, for you to understand where it's going. I'm going to share the link with you in the chat box for the, uh, for the, uh, attack on the US radar in Oman. I, I read the article and I looked at it and, and, uh, oh, where is it? I don't see it here. Oh, hold on, hold on. Sorry, sorry guys, because I need to copy it first, and assuming they will allow it to Here we go, that's the one, that, that article, you can read it later on. So now that, that's it, that's also the IRGC and army forces have intentionally prioritized. This is one key you need to understand why all of a sudden US is, is lost, is confused and panic. And you know what Donald Trump is doing is not a sign of strength. It's a sign of weakness because what Iran, both the IRGC and the army, have intentionally done is they prioritized radar installation, American radar installations, the ammo dumps, and the tactical fuel networks across multiple countries to compromise air defenses and paralyze local logistics. That is the purpose of it. Why Iran did what it did. 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. And once again, you need to understand what it's not being disclosed openly here in the West. No. For example, when you think about Ali As Salim Air Base in Kuwait, uh, let me put back up the, the, the map, uh, Ali As Salim right here where we have Blackhawks. You know, it's severely hit by the drones and missile wave aimed to knock out active surveillance. So, and as a matter of fact, what they have not disclosed to you is that the strikes by Iran, they have heavily degraded the Patriot missile defense systems, which is, by the way, is the primary air defense radar installations there. The same can be said about At-Tanf base in, in between Syria and Jordan, that location right here. That one, the drone strikes by Iran successfully hit a major US tactical radar system alongside special op assets, because that is exactly what was that base for. Now that at least it came up on the news, then I can say that location is for special ops. So then you have another base which is in Bahrain. That's the, the base called the Sheikh Isa Air Base. Remember that one I showed you right here? See, it's this base right here, uh, in Bahrain. Where is Bahrain? Right there, right there, Bahrain. That's the base. Now, what was targeted there? Iran used specialized drone payload. And you will think, what type of drones they use? This type. Those are the advanced one. Specialized drone payload designed to knockout localized US Navy communication systems and coastal radar areas. All this is not a coincidence. You think about the Camp Al-Adiri, which is in Kuwait. Uh, where's the image that I have, uh, for you? Damage to— sorry guys, I'm, I'm just trying. I got so many pictures here. That I wanted to, uh, make sure, uh, you are seeing the exact locations of this. Uh, Al-Adiri— no, that's— this is Bahrain here. Anyway, let's move on. Uh, Al-Adiri one, what happened there? Because when Iran launched the drones, it directly targeted and ignited a primary US military ammo depot. In other words, Iran knew what they were hitting. Then you have Ali al-Salim Air Base in Kuwait. Why is this important? Again, I already mentioned at the beginning, right? We're talking about a second strike that breaches localized hangars, uh, to explode headquarters building and heavy ammo storage dams. The dams that exist, those dumps that exist in the— this is the, uh, uh Uh, this is— no, this is Al-Muafa. I'm sorry, that's the Muafa. I need the picture for the, uh, Al-Hodeiri. Yeah, that's the one right there. Within this one, they have also the other, uh, uh, uh, ammo, uh, depot and so forth. So, and the Kuwait— that's why the precision ballistic missile targeted and destroyed by Iran in Kuwait. And what are we talking about? We're talking about HIMARS and we're talking about the ATACMS. So, and when you move into Jordan, Mufak Saltine Air Base, that's a different story because it was targeted heavily. And what Iran used is the intermediate range ballistic missile that with a severe Impacts reported across critical base fuel depot. When you think about the base, this is the where the fighter jets are. That's the Mu'afaq, this entire base. Iran destroyed US aircraft in Jordan.

Why?

Because the US weak defenses. So, and I'm going to show you a clip in a second right here. Because I, I think I kept it. Yes, I kept the clip for you. I want you to see this with your own eyes once again. Uh-oh. Oh yeah, I thought it didn't let me. So, all right, let me share it with you here. And this is where it says Iran, and this reported even by New York Times, believe it or not. Iran struck a military base in Jordan on Friday killing two US members. But I want to show you the launching of the missile. That's what I need to show you. So, so bear with me here, guys. Let's just— there we go. Take a, take a look at whether there's a sound on And right there, I'm not gonna play all of it. I want just to go back one second here. I want to show you something written on a screen because I want you— right there, this video verified by the New York Times appears to show projectile hitting a base in Jordan. Once again, you know, New York Times, of course, because they don't get along with Donald Trump. They will do something like this, but I'm saying, where is the main coverage? Most Americans do not read New York Times. Most people, they want some language in a simple language, but the media won't do it. So, and this is speaking of Jordan, as I mentioned earlier, last night it was an announcement by the US Embassy in Jordan. Here is what Jordanian authorities now have done. Jordanian authorities have evacuated the international airport and the seaport in Aqaba.

Why?

Due to specific and credible threats, we strongly advise— that's the statement from US Embassy— we strongly advise all US citizens to avoid traveling to the Aqaba airport or seaport. Too late. Yeah, because that is exactly where, uh, uh, I had a picture of Mina Abdullah, uh, port. Let me see if I could pull it out for you. No, no, I don't— I thought I had it, but I, I didn't. I didn't. So nonetheless, here is another link— another, I'm sorry, another short clip for the radar in Amman. That was attacked. So I want you— because, you know, to me it's all about, uh, what's the word, transparency. You know, you don't take my word for it, I'm going to show you the images because I want you to see. And you know the community, I'm not going to say something that it's not true, that it's not my nature. So take a look here, please. It has a sound there. I'm not gonna play that one. So, and this is exactly where you think in terms of, you know, how, how is, how is, uh, uh, sort of Iran is really able to, able to do all this. You know, where is this, uh, the Patriot missile systems and all that stuff? What happened to all that? So it's, uh, I'm trying to play another clip but it's not coming.

I don't know why.

Oh, here it is. Okay, hold on a second. Just, I want to show you. I'm not playing the entire because it's long. Let me just bear with me here, guys, because sometimes it's very hard when you're trying to— yeah, it's not. Oh man, I, I, I wanted to play that for you so bad because I want you to see. Let me see one more again, one time. Uh, no. Oh, it is. Okay, I'm— it's, it's, it's in Arabic once again. I just want you to see the images of that particular— and my own analysis is separate from, from, from this one here. So I just want you to see that one. So, so take a, take a look here. Let me play. So, so basically all this coincided with what Iran— the announcement that they did targeting the bases in Jordan, subsequent killing of American soldiers, wounding of others, the targeting of Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and, and Jordan. Of course, all this You know, you put it into a question. You think about how on earth was Iran able to bypass, uh, all the advanced air defense systems and reach their target with precision at a time when military tensions between US and Iran is escalating in more than one front? Because the harsh reality is that now you're looking at, uh, and I'm gonna stop this, uh, this clip here. Just want you to see that because now you're looking at, is Iran opening new fronts? Would Jordan be in another front? Now, I mean, the answer for me is yes, because the arrival of Iran's missile at their target specifically, you know, also highlights the limitations of the US air defense systems. I know there are some other defense analysts will say, oh yeah, we disagree with you, Dr. Oualaalou. That doesn't mean just because Iran missiles went through,— it doesn't mean that the US defense systems have failed. Well, okay, what would you call that? Overwhelmed? Well, if they are overwhelmed, that means the US defense systems did not factor in the ability of a country to launch multiple missiles all at once. And whose problem it becomes? It becomes the problem of the US, not the other. So, but they are entitled to their opinions, those defense analysts, if they disagree that I'm saying that the failure of the US defense system has been exposed. No, because they're— I know someone say, well, the fact is that no defense network, no matter how advanced, can provide a complete protection at 100%. Well, then what's the point? You know, we all know how many times Israel was boasting about the Iron Dome, the US about the Patriot missile defense and all that stuff. But we saw what happened last time when Iran's missiles have previously reached deep in Israel, in Tel Aviv, despite Israel possessing advanced air defense systems, that Iron Dome, the Arrow system, David's Sling, and what have you. So, and even the presence of the Patriot and the THAAD missile systems in, in American bases or in the region does not necessarily prevent some of those missiles from penetrating. That is the point what I'm saying, you know. Of course, there's, uh, uh, the argument will be now, uh, did Iran use, uh, the really advanced, or this is just one among others. And that's exactly what the statement by that individual who wants to remain anonymous— and when I say individual, I am talking about somebody in the higher-ups within the US government, they don't want to disclose the name, of course I can see why— what they're saying is what we're seeing, this is the beginning coming from Iran, we're going to be probably seeing some other advanced systems because Donald Trump didn't think. It did not think through. To me, it's common sense. If I am to ask about what is the real assessment of the damage, all I have to say is that ask any investigative journalist who is not affiliated with the government. Ask anybody who knows about satellite imagery what they're going to tell you. They're going to tell you imagery reveal that there is real damage to US bases, is significantly more severe and widespread that initially the Pentagon briefs suggested. So because if you think about the earlier updates which usually the Pentagon does this on every day. What was the focus on? It was the focus on the human toll, oh, including the 16 US soldiers that died and so forth. You know, what you find is that it was by design. It was by design. The Pentagon did not want to disclose the deliberate Iranian strategy which aimed at one objective, and that objective is to cripple, literally cripple, high-value assets rather than the total base destructions. And that's exactly what Eran— specific target, specific locations for a specific objective, because those targets, like the radar systems, is what helps the US move around the area.

No.

And that's why this morning when I looked at to what, for example, certain mainstream media in Washington like the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post and what have you, they start to talk about the structural impact. See how they playing with words? They won't say it exactly. Devastation, complete destruction. Oh, we're talking about just a structural impact to soften the blow? No. When in reality you have over— to my knowledge, you have over 228 military structures and major pieces of equipment have been damaged or destroyed completely. That's not— they are not disclosing this. In more than 20 facilities. So then we're talking about the financial cost. Can you imagine the total infrastructure repairs now, equipment replacements? Which, by the way, I read some estimates, we're looking at about almost a billion dollars just for what happened last 48 hours. Then you think about the strategic reassessment, because there's always a strategic angle to all this. And the depth of the distraction has forced now the US military to fundamentally rethink its entire operational footprints in West Asia. And I'm gonna save this for some other time to detail for you, uh, exactly uh, where the satellite images and or the radars and so forth. We'll talk about this. So, so I want to conclude because I'm coming to an end here. I want to conclude with one question before I share my conclusion with you, brother. And the question is, did the Trump strikes backfire on the US? And what's next? Those are legitimate questions because if you consider which it's not if, we all know the collapse of the June ceasefire. So that's the one locked in now, US and Iran intensifying war, war of attrition. But Donald Trump didn't think it through because now he's faced with a stark choice. There are only two options: either you prolong regional quagmire, which we all know what it means politically here in the US, what it means for energy prices, and what it means for the loss of control of the Republican in Congress, which by the way, if the Republican lose control, the Democrats will move forward and impeach Donald Trump. So, or you have to concede control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran officially. There's no other way out of it. You won't be able to defeat Iran, over 5,000, 6,000-year civilization. Look at the history. No other empire were able to defeat the Persians back then. Once again, it's the hubris we think we are. We did the same in Afghanistan. No major power was able to conquer Afghanistan. What makes us think we're gonna do it? But that's again because we are poor readers of history, and that's reflect on the leaders some people here in America end up voting for. No, so because despite what Iran is experiencing now, the damage of the civilian infrastructures and so forth, yeah, that stuff can be rebuilt. The key is that Iran's decentralized missile strategy has effectively struck back, inflicting massive devastation and lethal cost on US bases. And of course, is pushing now American allies like Kuwait and Bahrain, which those are not allies, those are what I call them employees. Yeah, I'll be honest, straightforward. I never looked at those as allies. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and what is the— Jordan, even Egypt. Those are employees of the US, meaning the leadership. You know what I'm getting at. It's because when you see that all of a sudden they are condemning, they Oh, we condemn what Iran did. Where were they when US bombed the civilian infrastructure? Why did they condemn that? And it tells you their employer told them not to do it. And that's exactly the point. So, and that is why you're gonna have to think in terms of Why you have, uh, uh, uh, Mujtaba Khamenei is saying we done with this memo of— memorandum of understanding, whatever. He's like, he's like saying forget about it, it's just a piece of garbage. That's what his recent statement. No, it just, it tells you where, where, uh, that's the reality of the ground reality versus the official statement. It's two separate things. So we will see, because one thing I need you to keep in mind, because what you're going to be hearing is that, uh, the, the, the, those countries in the Gulf, we intercepted Iran's missiles. In reality, that's what the reports is going to be claiming, that operations were not significantly affected It didn't impact them, and they emphasize— they're going to emphasize now the successful interceptions when in reality it's not true, because the reality of Iran's attacks using sheer volume and advanced maneuverable ballistic missile tracking system routinely overwhelmed those integrated defense systems. No, because when you look at like a facility in Bahrain, why do you think Iran want to hit and target Bahrain? What's in Bahrain besides Fifth Fleet? You have a naval support activity in Bahrain. Naval support activity. Just think about it. And that one, it said that facility was now forced to evac, and vast majority of personnel leaving.

Yeah.

Because Iran now has every location of where every soldier is. Once again, all you're going to have to think is this one right here. That are the phone. You all know, even for us here in the US, Apple, the phone, the phone, they can track you. If you, you need, you need, by the way, need to disable certain apps, you go for, you know, Check it out, there are ways of disabling, because if you don't, they know where your location, the exact location. They know everything about where you are through the phone. Do you think Iran will be hard for it to know where exact locations of every soldier is? This is the one of the fear the Pentagon has now. How the heck Iran was able to acquire this type of intelligence of precision locations? Of US soldier movements. And that is the important thing to understand. And that's why I'm saying the— what Donald Trump end up doing, the strikes are backfiring, and they are backfiring badly, badly. Is this means an all-out war on the horizon? The possibility, yes, I would say. Yes, yeah. So because the way you're gonna see, and I'm already, I'm keeping an eye on it for you because I'm seeing two signs right now. The third one is what's gonna give me the confirmation. One is the US air power surge. We send in more fuel tankers to Israel. Whether they're gonna go to Ben Gurion Airport or not, I don't know. And this is why I'm saying Iran is preparing next. I think Israel is going to be next. Iran will launch a massive— because they have massive stockpile of missiles. And the second one is— has to do with the, uh, with the targeting of a power grid. If the US— if the US went ahead and target a power grid in Iran, then an all-out war is a foregone conclusion. You know, I'm not even talking about the economic chokehold and so forth. That, that's already— it's in, in, in, uh, it's affaire accomplie. So, and this is where you're seeing that severe risk of regional spillover. So, so what I'm going to be doing this week, most likely this week, I'm going to be keeping an eye on this. I already prepared an analysis for you. I will release it towards the end of the week as to where I see this moving, the geopolitical landscape that is as, as we move forward. So, so the next, uh, uh, livestream or analysis that I'm going to be doing for you, it has to do with Iran preparing, uh, to target Israel. It has to do with also Iran preparing other type of strikes from the port of Iliad to some other locations. So, so I'm, I'm gonna do all this uh, uh, uh, for you next time. Uh, and I leave you with one question. I'm not going to answer it, just leave you with one question. How likely now Donald Trump will embark on the US ground troops or US invasion per se? It will be stupid. That will be the worst nightmare for the US. So anyway, I don't want to get ahead of myself for that. So here's my conclusion for you. The— all we know, and, and for now there is no need to be talking about MOU anymore. It's dead. It's in the garbage. That's exactly what even, uh, Mujtaba Khamenei is saying. We're done. We're done with all that stuff. So could it be Iran that is working as we speak on putting about 10 to 15 bombs? Maybe, maybe not. I don't know, but I'm just thinking outside the box. So, and this is where you see that all-out regional war, you know, with strategic now bases heavily damaged in, in, in, in, in West Asia. The Strait of Hormuz is closed by Iran, not by the US. And you have now even Donald Trump bypassing Congress to strike back. So the stakes, in my opinion, have never been higher for global stability. And that will be what I'm going to keep an eye on you— on, uh, what I keep— what I will keep an eye on for you for this week. So I'm going to leave you with this question. I would greatly appreciate your feedback. Uh, and by the way, thank Hangin' G for your comments. I read your comments on the question I posted last time. So here's the question for today: do you think the US should double down on military action to reopen the strait, or is it time to seek a diplomatic exit? Yeah, I'm, I'm still gonna say maybe, maybe not for diplomacy, but, but, you know, I'll let you, I'll let you decide on this one, Yusuf. So before I, uh, like I always do, I have— we're already at the top of the hour, but like we always do, I'm gonna do one, a few clips for you here just to share this with you. Uh, the first one is about— to those who say, oh, it's the US that is, uh, protecting navigation in, uh, in, uh, in the Strait of Hormuz. No, I'm going to show you a clip of a damaged cargo by Iran. That's what Iran did. So the US isn't— Donald Trump is lying. You all know, nothing new there. He's inherently liar. Could it be some messed up genes or whatever? I don't know, I don't know. I mean, how much somebody can lie like that? Unbelievable. Sorry, let me share the screen. Here it is, uh, and, uh, it's in Arabic, I think. Uh, let me see. Oh, it's just the sound. I'm not playing it. All it says right there Uh, and I'll translate. This is the damage on a cargo ship, uh, on the coast of United Arab Emirates. And by the way, right here in the bottom it says Safina Korea. It's a Korean, uh, cargo ship. So, so this demonstrates and documents that Iran is in charge of that aspect. So, uh, next one I want to play for you is the, uh, Iran drones, the new drones. We're not talking the old ones. All right, and those are— to those who are familiar with the drones, and I've talked about this There's one kind called Shahid or Shahid. This is the Shahid 238, very, very advanced. It's new, as a matter of fact, and I think that's what the intent to deploy. I don't know, but it looks like to me that's what it is. 238 drone is faster, says its new Shahid 238 drone is faster, smarter, and deadlier than before. But what makes this drone so dangerous? Unlike older Shahed drones, the Shahed-238 uses a jet engine, allowing it to fly much faster toward its target. Reports suggest that different versions of the drone can use cameras and guidance systems to strike targets more accurately. Iran has invested heavily in drone technology, making unmanned aircraft one of the most important parts of its military strategy. From surveillance to long-range attacks, Drones like the Shaheed 238 are changing modern warfare. Yeah, that's the Shaheed, uh, 238. So, uh, another one is about a base, US base in Iraq. By the way, Iraq is playing both sides. Yeah, but this one is about a US military base in Iraq was targeted. And again, you will think Iraq, you know, we just had the prime minister here, uh, giving him the marching orders because that's how it works. I was in the thick of it inside Iraq during Nouri Kamel, Maliki, and all that. I never liked the guy because he was a wishy-washy type anyway. So they are corrupted. So, uh, take a listen please. A base and weapon storage site in Iraq. That was just hit. Breaking news, that was a US military base and weapons storage site in Iraq that was just hit by an Iranian suicide drone. Israeli media Ynet yesterday reported that President Donald Trump is seeking a ceasefire, mediating through Italian channels, but Iran has denied any request for one. Then today, Trump told US media that the new Iranian leaders want to talk to him and he has agreed to talk. Okay, I'm gonna stop right there. First of all, I cannot confirm the second part as far as, uh, there are, uh, mediation by Italy and so forth. I, I, I cannot confirm. What I wanted to share with you is the first part, and that is I can confirm to you that a location inside Iraq that belongs to the US, as a matter of fact, and Israel also, uh, that was a spying base, was targeted. I also want to share with you a clip about a meeting that took place in the White House. That's the National Security Council. Usually anytime there is a National Security Council meeting, that's usually something about to happen, something major. Uh, just to give you an idea quickly here, the, the NMC, the National Military Command Center, and the, uh, the, uh, US National Security Council, those ones usually pertain to when a major decision will have to be made, especially of military nature. That is why I was kind of, okay, what this meeting is all about. So let's take a listen here, please.

Update, we have some massive news to report today, my friends, so I hope you're sitting down. I'm going to try to make this quick. We had a major National Security Council emergency meeting take place in the Oval Office just an hour ago. Now, this has something to do with one of two things. We know It is in response to the really bad day that the US Air Force had over the skies of Iran that I'm going to enumerate in just a moment. But I also think it has something to do with the deliberation of the use of unconventional munitions to deal with these impenetrable hardened targets, these missile cities inside Iran. First, let's talk about the bad day that the Air Force had.

Okay, I just wanted to share some of that info with you. Next one is the, uh, what I call the bigger game, much bigger game than what the media has you believe. And this one is just once again very, very brief, uh, and again I do this for the content once I know it's accurate, of course. Take a listen, please.

From Hungary. The situation— a quick update from Hungary. The situation, it's getting real and it's getting real fast. Iran launched over 800 projectiles at Israel— cruise missiles, drones, ballistic missiles. This isn't posturing anymore, this is a full-scale strike. And now it's not just Israel defending itself. The UK, the US, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar— they're all intercepting incoming fire. And let's be clear, the US is involved as well. American planes took off from Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, refueling Israeli jets mid-operation. That's not passive anymore. That's direct support. Now, here's the part that goes deeper than just the battlefield, and I want you to really, really hear this. There's forces at play, forces who want to see trade routes blocked. They want to use war to choke supply chains, collapse financial systems, and destroy the current economic order. Why? Well, they want to bring about a total reset. You heard of that. They want to manufacture crisis and then control the situation under new rules. That's the bigger game. And if you're only watching the missiles, you'll miss the motive. People are scared right now, and they should be. They should be alert too.

That's a good point. That is a good point. So, and the last one, last clip I'll share with you is what the US State Department has just announced after Iran's missiles. Uh, and again, I'll share the— I'm not going to play it because it's in Arabic, and I'll do the translation for you, but you can, you can just see the screen, uh, what it's— what it says right there. It says the, uh, the US State Department asking all its citizens to leave 14 countries in West Asia immediately. Yeah, 14 countries. This is what the State Department is asking. So, and that's again, uh, brings me back to my earlier statements. Is something bigger in the works, especially with Iran preparing something towards Israel? I think Israel is the next, is going to be, has to be targeted. Why? Because you have US sending, because if Iran allow those jet fuels to park inside Israel, it will be too late. What Iran is preparing now is to deal with Al-Aqaba, which is in Jordan, access to the sea, but also with Israel. So they're not going to wait. They're not going to wait. And that is again, Is this why the US is asking all its citizens to leave West Asia completely? So anyway, hope you guys enjoyed. I know it was a little longer this time around, but again, I can't cut this stuff short because I want you to have a full picture. I take this opportunity to say thank you to Noel. Truly appreciate your continued support, and we have missed you, by the way, the last, uh a week or so. I know you might be— you might have been on a vacation and so forth. So good to see you here, Noel, and thank you for your continued support. Truly, truly appreciate you. And to all of you guys, I'll say thank you for keeping the conversation civil in this chat, chat box here. Truly appreciate you. I can't watch all that stuff, you know. I count on you to really, you know, if somebody that is, is not going to contribute to the conversation Yeah, you're not gonna allow that. So we're all, we're all here to learn from each other, and I'm very grateful to you. I want just to give you updates on, uh, on my, uh, the funding campaign for my upcoming trip. We are at 63%. I just wanted to be, uh, transparent with you. If I don't reach this target by the end of the month, I will have to postpone the trip. I will go eventually, it's just the timing of it. Why? Because of the locations and the numbers that I crunched and all that stuff. So I, I, I, I want to make sure of that, but I wanted to tell you ahead of time. So, you know, for me, transparency is, is, is crucial. So, so here is the link for those who might want to support the upcoming trip to Asia, and I'll take this opportunity to say thank you to, uh, Citycom Samuan Sirikam, uh, thank you so much for your, uh, generosity in buying me cups of teas in support of Asia. And thank you for your comments. You wrote, and I quote, good luck and pleasant trip, end of quote. Thank you so much. I also want to say thank you to, uh, Sarah Lewis. Uh, I appreciate you, Sarah Lewis, and this is not your first time supporting the channel or the trips for that matter. Uh, Sarah is another, another avid support of the channel. Uh, you wrote, and I quote, I follow a number of opinion-centric channels. You take it to another level by presenting clips and facts not encountered elsewhere, in my opinion. For that, I am grateful. End of quote. You are most welcome and truly appreciate your support for this one. So, and to those who wants to support the channel, here is the link for it. And I'm very, very grateful to you, uh, for your continued support. I will be working on the next stories for you. As I said, I will, uh, I will do this, and I will see you soon. As always, remember, geopolitics impact your daily life in more ways than one. Till next time, bye-bye.
