Iran's Three Secret Weapons Are Breaking Israel's Air Defense & the US Is Running Out of Missiles

Hello everybody and welcome to Geopolitical Trends, where truth matters. Israel's own missile defense contractor just admitted now publicly their system cannot stop Iran's newest missiles. Not today, not tomorrow. And the solution they are proposing, it will take years and tens of billions of dollars They don't have. Meanwhile, Iran is firing the unstoppable ones as we speak. We're talking about 3 new types of weapons, which I'm going to be detailing for you in this analysis here. On the other hand, you need to consider that with the U.S. advanced military systems and so forth on the globe, for now, what is known. Iran knows it, but Iran knows it can't beat that one head to head. So instead, what Iran ends up doing— Iran is spending $20,000 per drone. I'm gonna share a picture with you here, right there. That one costs $20,000 per drone to force— here is the tricky part— on part of the Iranian strategy, per se, to force the US to spend $4 million per interceptor. So each time Iran launches a drone, the US will have to launch an interceptor or Israel for that matter, at a cost of $4 million each, over and over and over again. And that's not war, that's a financial ambush what the Iranians are doing. And right now the U.S. is losing it. You know, despite what you heard the media, we're already starting to see the coverage on the media that is not addressing certain issues. As a matter of fact, I was gonna share a clip with you. Guess what I just found out? It was removed. So I'm still gonna put the link for you. If you get a chance to, I don't know, maybe, maybe not. But right there, so check it out later on. But to me, I checked it and it says unavailable. It's private. And this is where the US has its own sort of shortcomings to deal with. And the key tactic here, at least as it's going right now from an Iran perspective, it is a war of attrition. No other way to looking at it. I'm gonna be doing a specific video for you. Make sure you stay with me till the end because I'm gonna talk about it, but I'm gonna do it later. I'm just waiting to confirm on a certain information before I'll say anything. So what happened with Iran? Iran now is deploying 3 new types of weapons to the battlefield. And the question becomes is how will this change the war? So first we're talking about the Shahed. Drones. That's the one you're looking at here, the Shahed drones. And the idea is the Shahed drones, which are the most impactful tool right now for Iran. Why? Because Iranians designed this particular type of drones, which have become some sort of— have a familiar sound across the Persian Gulf as we speak, because that's how Tehran does now by striking back with the cheap but effective weapons. Remember, as I mentioned at the beginning, for every time Iran launches a drone, an interceptor that cost $4 million, if it get through or if it was lucky enough to hit it, that's the cost. You think about it. While at the same time you have ballistic and cruise missiles that fly faster and pack a much bigger punch, they cost millions and are in a limited supply vis-à-vis the US and Israel. So the Shahed drone, the cost of it for Iran only cost tens of thousands, actually 20,000 to my knowledge, and are available at large numbers. So here is one, uh, here is one clip I'm going to share with you first. Luckily, they didn't sort of, uh, ban this one here. Let's take a listen here.

Iran actually bypassed the Iron Dome using wooden stealth drones. The advanced defense system is perfectly tuned to track fast heavy metal rockets. Powerful radars easily spot steel casings and highly reflective electronic parts. To bypass this shield, engineers completely abandoned modern military materials. They built a new swarm of kamikaze drones almost entirely out of balsa wood. Wood and thin fiberglass absorb radar waves instead of bouncing them back. Instead of hot engines, they use tiny electric motors with zero heat signature. The drones were programmed to fly at extreme low altitudes, hugging the terrain. The dome's smart sensors simply filtered them out as flocks of birds or static noise. The AI didn't trigger interceptors until the wooden swarm was already diving in. In 2026, the world's smartest shield was pierced by the most primitive technology.

All right, I just want you to see that one. Let me get back here, uh, just to, to have an idea of why Eran is using this. So among the 3 now we're gonna be addressing about, I'm gonna be talking about Khorramshahr-4. Khorramshahr-4, which I already did a video back then about. I wish I could have get the link for you. I might do it later on. Khorramshahr-4, why is this— by the way, it is known also as Khyber or Khyber, depends on how you pronounce it. Iran end up deploying this long-range ballistic missiles into underground missile cities. So, and this, of course, belongs to the IRGC's Aerospace Force. And this in itself, with the presentation of this particular missile, it's now presenting it as a central element of its strategic missile capabilities. And right there, it went into combat almost immediately. The missile, just some basic characteristics, has a range of about 2,000 kilometers, and it is— its length is about 13 meters. If you look at it right there, 13 meters, you know, and carries— here's the important thing about it— it carries a warhead weighing about 1,500 kilograms, and it can reach the hypersonic speed up to. It's not at Mach 16, but is up to Mach 16 outside the atmosphere. And that in itself, what does it tell you? It tells you one aspect, and that aspect is it will leave very little reaction time for any type of air defense systems unless they have advancement. So as of March 5th, which is yesterday, Iran launched, uh, Khoramshahr, and Khoramshahr 4, that is targeting Ben Gurion Airport and targeting one specific location inside Tel Aviv. One of them is the Air Force 27th Air Base. And of course, the IRGC claimed that the missile penetrated Israeli air defense systems. Well, it's not claiming, it is verified. So I'm gonna share a video. Oh, that's the video that— I'm sorry, let me, let me show you. So I want you to see with your own eyes. Hold on a second. Here, let me share the screen. Just, I want you to see with your own eyes what it says right there. Right there. Video unavailable. And I looked at it, I watched it, so, and I saw the launching of the Khorramshahr-4, and I saw the landing of the missile. I also saw the interceptions, but they couldn't. Of course, let's just for the record, the Israeli missile interceptors were able to intercept something else. Because what the Iranians end up doing, firing more than once. So unfortunately, so, and the missile, it has like a cluster munition. And I saw once it gets to closer to whatever it needs to be sort of dispersed, the munition, it really spread out into too many targeting that specific location. Now the question with this become, it's not a question, but rather you think about the strategic impact of this, um, because, uh, it's, it's the importance of it. And the importance of this, uh, uh, uh, Khorramshahr-4 is that it remains fueled for extended period, and that in itself reducing the launch preparation to mere minutes, which is— that's the window you have to avoid for being attacked from a, a silo or a, or a launching pad or what have you. The other aspect is, is that in a mid-course navigation of this system, it corrects its path outside the atmosphere, which means what? It means that it maintains an accuracy even against countermeasures, and this makes it extremely hard to preemptively destroy on the ground and extremely hard to intercept it in the air. That's one. Second type is the, uh, Haydar-110. That's another missile— I'm sorry, that's another type of weaponry, which those are the fast attack boats. It's called the IRAN-100 or Haydar-110. This one is a carbon fiber missile boat which exceeds about 110 knots, approximately 204 kilometers per hour. And this, by the IRGC, is held one of the best operational military boats in their arsenal. It weighs about 9 tons and it measures about 14 meters long. And the interesting aspects about it— I have two pictures for you here. I have this one here The aspects about it is that it has— it carries with it two Iranian-made anti-ship cruise missiles with an approximate operational range of 350 nautical miles. Why is this important? It is important for you to understand why IRGC was able to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Even though, by the way, it was an announcement in Washington yesterday which said, oh, the Strait of Hormuz is not closed. That's a lie. The Strait of Hormuz is closed except for one particular country. And who's that country? Is China. China was allowed to move an oil tanker, to my knowledge, without being harassed, whatever. They allowed it. Iranians allowed it. And the Chinese role, by the way, there is a Chinese role in Iran. And I'm gonna get into it as I move forward here. So the Hyder, the Hyder 110 acts as a high-speed spearhead, basically, in sort of— it comes in a formation because that's how they come in. This is not just one by itself, in a formation capable of rapid flanking maneuvers. That is the important— once again, what is the strategic impact of something like this? Well, here is the thing: when you combine the Hydra 110 with the ballistic missiles and explosive surface craft in mixed salvos, the defensive burden on escort vessels increases exponentially. Once again, this is why The IRGC was able to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. There are those who said no, but it did. And that in itself protecting both the warship and the escorted merchant vessels under such layered attack conditions, hypothetically should that happen. And this is why in a narrow Strait of Hormuz, this could cause disproportionate disruption, even for small boats. And the third element, the third types of weapons that's been introduced, those are the booby-trapped kamikaze drone boats. Sorry, I couldn't find some sort of clear picture to share it with you, so— but I'm gonna share a link with you if you feel like reading about it. I'm— oh, sorry, I'm gonna put it in the chat box for you. Let's read that one. Now, Iran, uh, because what is about this booby trap kamikaze drones? Those are, as you know, a sort of uncrewed surface vessels known as the USV in the military terminology. In a combat for the first time, and Iran entered this into the into this conflict. And this is where the idea of— that's how they end up striking the Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker MKD. Remember picture I shared with you last time? Let me see if I still have it. No, I don't. Let me see here. Oh, I have it right here. Let me, let me share it with you on the screen. Cargo cancel here. Okay, uh, my, uh, believe it or not, guys, my screens, my, uh, My images froze. How ironic. How ironic. So anyway, we'll move on. We'll move on. I was going to show you the picture of the tanker that was hit by this particular drone boat here. Now the importance about it, this is the first time Iran is using the USV to strike ships in the region. Iran has steadily developed these types of weapons and supplies them to guess whom? Ansarullah in Yemen, who used them extensively in the Red Sea campaign. My point is that what we are seeing and we will see more is that Iran on each phase is showing new types of weapons. We don't know what it might have. As a matter of fact, I have it on good authority that someone mentioned that Iran might have in its possession about 8 nuclear warheads. I want to rule that out, and I know those— they're not going to be making up things like this. So I'm, I'm waiting to confirm certain aspects before I'll do a video for you about it. And this is where, uh, the, uh, the picture I was going to share with you, but it's Unfortunately, it didn't. And I don't know if I can do the— if I reload, this might not work. That is unusual for this to just freeze. The big picture, once again, for this type of the strategic— these types of, uh, uh, of USV. This— when you have these systems, by the way, represent now Iran's layer asymmetric strategy. You have the Khorramshahr-4 punches deep into Israel and US bases with near hypersonic power. You have the Hyder-110 overwhelming the naval defenses through speed in in this case, a swarm situation. And you have the USV drone boats, quietly strangled global energy trade without requiring any crew or conventional naval power. So despite what you hear, the US is saying, Israel is saying, we have destroyed much of Iran's traditional navy. And by the way, there was an incident near Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean there where India facilitated and helped the US targeted naval assets that belongs to Iran, using a torpedo for that. But when you think about this type of systems beside the Khorramshahr-4, you have now a faster, harder-to-target weapons that are proving far more resilient. And once again, you add all— uh, I don't know if I'm— yeah, I'm not able to scroll down. My— yeah, it's not moving, so it froze. Anyway, so Now there is one aspect I need to share with you. How do you think Iran is doing all this? On its own? Yes, to a degree, but there is something behind the scenes, and behind the scenes is the imagery. Where does Iran is getting this specific imagery? This is where China's role came in. I know they've been critical, some have been critics. There have been some critics out there that in time of need, Russia and China kind of didn't step in to help Iran and so forth. Yes, militarily or publicly, openly. Yeah, they are not there. They're not sending their troops. They're not sending their weapons openly here. But what, at least in the case of China, you have a specific Chinese company and that Chinese company is located, by the way, in Shanghai and specializes in generating geospatial intelligence images and is actively, actively tracking US military aircraft, ships involvement, troop movements, and any other ongoing operations against Iran. And that in itself highlight to you the vulnerability of conventional armed forces to observation from satellites in low orbits. The Chinese Beidou systems, which to my knowledge tends to have an accuracy of between 1 and 30 meters off, which is nothing. If you think 1 meter off of target, think about how big those targets are. That means the accuracy of the satellite images is on target. And that is exactly where this company— it's called Mizar Vision, it's headquartered in Shanghai. So next time I'm in Shanghai, I'm going to check it out. So had been sort of posting satellite photos of U.S. military activities throughout the past week in social media because those are not classified, by the way. So I'm gonna share, first of all, a link with you, and I'll share a clip with you to see. You can, you can read up on it. Hopefully I can play the link here. I think I can. Let's hope. Let's see. Share. Okay, can you see this? All right, let me share the link here. All right, let's look at this one here. I have to— because the sound, uh, there are some music, there are some music in the background, I have to silence that one first. All right, let me share it. Okay, I'm not able to share this with you. What is going on? My apologies, my apologies. I'm, I'm just not able to share it. Hold on, let me try one more time. Okay, let's take a look once again. Appreciate your patience, guys. Share. Here we go. Let me, let me— so I'm gonna do translation as I move forward because it's in Arabic, by the way. Basically what I was saying to those who have said that, that China, uh, did not come to the aid of its ally, this expression has been sort of spread out throughout. However, is this statement true? That's what it says in Arabic right there. Is this true? Two days prior to US launching the airstrike— US and Israel launching the airstrike A Chinese company launched, uh, shared some imagery of— this imagery is of a high caliber, high quality, and high precision, which demonstrates the movement of the US assets. In the Middle East. The company called Maser Vision, and it's headquartered in Shanghai, and it has published images that are so precise of Diego Garcia, the, the, the base in the Indian Ocean. Of, you see, the fighters F-16 and the air fueling tankers. It wasn't just a mere picture. The company used some specific technology in this geographical aspects to pinpoint exactly and also to track the movements of planes on a daily basis as its kind of preposition itself themselves. Also, they shared the pictures about the movements of the US troops in military bases in Israel. In Qatar, Jordan, and Greece. At the same time, Washington was preparing to launch its attack, strike Iran. The story could be far more deeper than just imagery or, or surveillance. The Chinese have a strong intelligence presence inside Iran and is providing support when it comes— support to Iran when it comes down to the surveillance and the defense systems. I'm gonna stop right here because it's, uh, it's a little bit long. So because I need— I still have, uh, to cover on the— my analysis and so forth. There is one thing I need you to understand about this role of why China let it be out right now. Two things. One is that the upcoming visit of Donald Trump on 28th of April— I had someone reached out to me to do an analysis about this trip of Donald Trump. And second, it's far more sort of strategic on part of the Chinese. Why Chinese doing this? Chinese doing this because they wanted to learn about the movements of the Americans, about how they responded to, for example, Khorramshahr-4, the type of weapons that Iran is using. So to China, this is a learning curve. To learn about the weak points regarding the US moment. Smart idea, a good investment in supporting Iran from an intelligence perspective, but it's gonna give a return on investments to the Chinese far more in addition to supporting the Iranians. And that's usually very, very important to understand these dynamics. Now, how will the deployment of this new types of weapons Iran change, uh, to the theater now changed the calculus for Israel mainly. I wish I could have shared that video because he showed literally Khorramshahr-4 targeting inside Tel Aviv. It targeted one of the parts of the Ministry of Defense because the Ministry of Defense, to my knowledge, is in Tel Aviv, located there. And Khorramshahr-4 represent now Israel is interceptor's nightmare. This is where the issue of— I don't want to reload this on the image because I'm afraid I might lose you all because since it froze, but I was just gonna keep going without those links and so forth or clips. Because this is the weapon, the Khurramshahr-4, this is the weapon that most directly threatened— threatens Israel's survival calculus. This is why last time when I did the video for you, I ended with the question whether Israel is going to use nukes in case it became evident to them that their survival is done for. Khorramshahr-4 could achieve that. And of course, in reaction, Israel will have no other option but to retaliate with the nukes. And of course, you have two other countries that could step in, Pakistan and North Korea, using the nukes against Israel. And we all know what it means. Let's hope it never gets to that. So what the IRGC— pardon me, what the IRGC claimed is that Khorramshahr— and now here is the thing that I need you to understand. Some think tanks on both sides of the Atlantic, We'll say, oh, Iran just claimed this, claimed that they don't have the hypersonic. You remember how many analyses were emerging from the West saying, oh, Iran just lying about the hypersonic, till they prove with Fateh-2. Khorramshahr-4 is no different. So when IRGC, the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps, claim claim the Khorramshahr-4 penetrated 7 layers of Israeli air defense systems, and that's how it was able to strike Ben Gurion Airport and the IAF, the Israeli Air Force 27th Air Base. That is the important— that I need you to understand. Now, whether the Iran claim is, is fully accurate I saw the images. Those images were not fabricated, and I traced the date of those. This is not from last time, from June 2025. Those were dated, and I double-check on that date on March 5th, 2026, yesterday. And that is exactly why this one, the underlying math now is deeply uncomfortable for Israel. The entire US-Israel campaign now has been specifically designed to destroy Iran's ballistic missile capabilities before the combined force depleted its interceptor stockpile. Israel is running into this issue now. They don't have as many. The US is running into an issue, and I don't want to get ahead of myself because I'm going to do specific video for you about What is the US doing about this and what opportunity this is creating for some other country in specifics? So here is what it means as of today for Israel. It means that Israel could literally run out of interceptors if Iran keeps firing. And this is why Iran is moving strategically step by step in phases. And making matters worse, Iran has been fighting Khorramshahr 4 fitted with a cluster munition, which I saw in that video that now YouTube took down. So remember, the information warfare is going to be deception as to what you see versus what you are not going to see. So I'll do my best to provide you the accuracy because to me that's What reporting is all about. That's what journalism is all about. Shame on this so-called media here in the West that they're not providing a balanced argument. Provide the information and let the viewers decide for themselves. But you can be biased towards one but not providing the other. That's misleading. So making the matter worse, as I said, Iran fired the Khorramshahr 4, uh, missile, uh, fitted with cluster munition warheads and submunitions that disperse over a wide area to maximize damage. And I saw the damage that it did. So a tactic Iran already field-tested during June 2025. That's when Iran started testing some of that on a smaller scale. And this means now even partially or even a partial interception, let's say, of salvo can still cause widespread casualties on the ground, be it in Tel Aviv, in Haifa, Shemesh, or other locations. So Israel is thinking that they can go after the launchers themselves. And even the IDF is stating, which I don't believe, that it says that it destroyed around 300 Iranian launchers since the war began. Okay, well, how come Iran still firing? The same argument Donald Trump makes about obliterating the nuclear, uh, uh, power plant. Really? And that's again, uh, because you have to understand, Khorramshahr 4 from a strategic perspective, changes the calculus because it is harder to intercept by a missile, meaning that Israel must destroy the launchers before they fire, before Iran fires, and not really intercepting it after. It's too late. And the same concept will apply to Hayder 110. No, that's not image here. Hayder 110. Israel— this is Israel's immediate— part of it, part of it— immediate problem. Why? It's because what Iran is doing is to choke Israel from having access to energy. This is why they had to attack and shut down the Strait of Hormuz, because Qatar now saying we can't do anything about natural gas, liquefied natural gas, except the tanker that belongs to China was able to cross through the Strait of Hormuz. So the Hydra 110 is primarily for the Strait of Hormuz theater rather than a direct threat to Israel territory. No, it's not for the territory. It's the economic angle. Oil prices already went up here. In the US, gas stations. There are places now in the US that the gas already reached $5 a gallon. It is my belief once it reaches $6, you're gonna start to see some really serious problems here in America, which we already have with the $39 trillion in debt. And now the war is going to add more. Suffice it to say that Haider 110 You have to understand its strategic relevance. So might not be of a problem to Israel directly, okay, but it will be a problem to Israel's economy because Israel depends, Israel depends on global energy markets and, uh, uh, and its own oil imports through Eilat, Eilat to the port. That Ansarullah targeted last time. And the problem with this, if you think long-term, is that a prolonged chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz is gonna basically sort of hurt and cave in the Israeli economy, which is already suffering in addition to the political fallout of this. And that's adding pressure to— on the Israeli government to end the war faster. So which means Israel will not achieve its objective to begin with. Because now what you have, you have Israel moving hospitals into underground. Even some shelters have been targeted by Iran's missiles. Nothing is safe. Anymore. And I'm going to mention about the psychological impact as I move forward. The third element is the booby-trapped boats. So this is almost an escalation without an escalation. The USV drones, boats here, represent a fascinating strategic shift for Israel. Why? Because Iran has continued attacking energy and maritime infrastructure in the Gulf States. Because remember, Iran already struck the port of Salalah in Oman. That was with a direct missile hit. Iran also targeted fuel tankers in Dokkan Port. Yeah, I'm sorry, once again, I can't move the— it froze. I wanted to show you certain locations, but This is what I see in the screen in front of me, but I can't move any other, um, in, in, in, in dock, in port. And of course, what the US did recently— I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what Iran did recently, it attacks the US Embassy in Riyadh. I was in the compound. I used to live there. I lived there when I was working. Uh, so targeted right there. To me, once again, the importance of those What is it? Is the imagery that the Chinese are providing. It shows you how accurate. When Iran attacked the US Embassy in Riyadh, it didn't hit the neighbor. And that area, we call them the diplomatic quarter. It's so wide, so large. It didn't target the structures, it targeted the embassy itself. That tells me right there how accurate, pinpointing, and precise The coordinates are provided by the Chinese. I bet you, I bet you when Donald Trump is in Beijing between March 28th and April 2nd, Iran issue is gonna come up in the conversation. Now here is why this matters to the Israelis specifically. Because this matters because the Israelis assess that the Saudis may soon strike Iran. That's a joke. Saudis have nothing in comparison to Iran. I wrote in both books, in my Iran book and my Saudi book, that if there is a war to break out between Saudi Arabia and Iran, it will take Iran about 2 weeks to wipe out the entire military of Saudi Arabia. Saudis don't have— do you know who's gonna be flying those fighter jets? The Americans, not the Saudis. The Saudis don't have— let's just, uh, be straightforward about it— the Saudis have no chance. No country in the region, in the Gulf, will stand a chance against Iran one-on-one. So, and this is why Iran's— all this means what? It means that Iran's drones, boat, and missile attacks on Gulf states maybe sort of pushing in a direction that will see, oh, where is the US protection? What are we doing this? And as a matter of fact, there is now calls behind the scenes wanting to negotiate with Iran because the Iranian president, Raisi himself, stated on the record that they have been some— they received some sort of a call, if you will, for consideration of negotiations. But if you hear what the prime— the foreign minister Ali Arakchi said, you will say, I can see why. And I'll get into that in a second here. Now, the core Israeli dilemma, what is it? And I want to focus this on Israel because the— to Iran, The main target is gonna be Israel, not the U.S. aircraft carrier, not all this, not all that. Mm-mm. It's gonna be Israel because that's where the issue is for the Israelis, for the Iranians. Of course, the U.S. is part of that and they will deal with that as they move forward. And the core Israeli dilemma is that there is now a race against the clock. That is where the problem is. 3 weapons at the same time, that is a fundamental problems for Israel that is facing right now. Because Iran's ability to launch missiles and drones is showing signs of— even though they are reducing in the quantity, Iran is deliberately reducing the quantity a little bit. Why? Because Iran is moving methodically in phases. I am left to wonder what is the next surprise Iran might have for Israel. But Iran so far has not eliminated the launching of, of the missiles or whatever types of weapons they want because they are continuing every day. It's just not on a large number. And why is this important? To Iran if they keep at least launching even, even let's say 10 drones, 3 missiles, how much Israel is going to have to burn through interceptors, risking civilian infrastructure damage, which is already happening in Haifa, in Tel Aviv, in Shemesh, and another location I couldn't remember the name of it. And this is where you have to see what is Israel is going to do. Of course, without the U.S., there will be no Israel to begin with. And since the war began, Israel— here is the fact— Israel has dropped 4,000 munitions across 1,600 aerial sorties over Iran, an enormous expenditure. That cannot be sustained indefinitely. This is the game Iran is playing on long term. As a matter of fact, I have it on good authority that Iran stated and willing to go for this war for the next 2 years. 2 years. Think about it. Just think about it. If the US and Israel already running short on stocks for ammunition, for interceptors, for weapons, what have you. Even now, and we are only in the first chapter of this war, 7 days. Can you imagine 2 years? And that is one of the things I'm going to talk to you in next video when I'll do specifically for this because I don't want to overlap so much information. So, so far, just the bottom line to all this. The bottom line, Khorramshahr-4, the missile that you saw earlier— oh, it pissed me off that I can't just scroll because it freezes on this aspects of— damn. Anyway, Khorramshahr-4 makes Israel air defense mathematically unsustainable over time. That's Khorramshahr-4. The Haydar-110 strain the broader coalition and the USV boats spread the war geographically in ways that may either help or destabilize Israel's alliances. It's a strategic move. So for now, in Tel Aviv, Israel's calculus is now firmly one of speed over thoroughness, either because what they want— either end this fast or risk being bled dry by a high-motivated or a highly motivated adversary. All right, let me share this clip here. I'm I'm gonna play it. Hopefully it'll work, man. I worked— okay, I worked, spent all day yesterday just putting this together for you. And but life goes on. Oh, I ain't gonna think negative here. All right, let's share. Here it is. I can share it here with you. All right, take a lesson. No way. That's the one I'm referring to here. Let me play it again quickly. He was saying, here it is, here it is, here it is. As far as this weapon, I think they're— I'm sorry, this missile a reference to Khorramshahr-4, if I'm not mistaken. You will feel like it's, uh, mutawahesh. What is the word mutawahesh? I'm drawing a blank on this term. Uh, I can't remember it. I'm sorry, my brain. So anyway, I just want you to see that particular drop of that missile. Now here is where Abbas Araqchi comes in, Abbas Arakchi, the foreign minister of Iran. He said, and I quote, Iran is not seeking a ceasefire or negotiations with the United States, indicating the continuation of hostilities. He stressed— meaning Abbas Arakchi— he stressed that negotiations are not possible under pressure or threats, insisting on accountability for aggression before discussing diplomacy. I'm gonna go as far as saying, Mr. Irakchi, forget about negotiations anytime in the future with the Americans. But that's me, because that's again where the strategic mistake and I made back in 2018. And let's not dwell on that, that's the past. All right, let's talk about— not talk about, but share a video, a clip. I'm sorry, not a video, a clip with you once again, too, because I want you to see the evidence for yourself. You, you, you will see with your own eyes here. Let's take a listen. Reason why we should negotiate with the US when we negotiated with them twice and every time they attacked us at the middle of negotiations. So there is no request for a ceasefire by us and there is no request for the negotiation with the US from us. No, we are waiting for them. You are waiting for the US military to invade, the ground troops?

Yes.

Because we are confident that we can confront them, and that would be a big disaster for them. Very, very interesting statements because when we invaded Iraq, we had like, oh, it's going to be an easy walk. We're just going to walk in and all that stuff. We put troops and the numbers were 3 times what we have right now in the region. Over 150,000. And again, you kind of realize we don't understand, we don't understand that individuals now in Iran or Iraq, whatever, since we're talking about Iran, Iran, we don't understand the old history of the Persian. Persians, we're fighters, we're fierce fighters. And look at any history whether it was any, any major power back then that was able to conquer the Persian Empire. And that's why Iraq is saying, yeah, bring, bring in your troops in, which will be a nightmare to begin with. And by the way, another information that has not been disclosed, this is where I see the double standards of the media. If they calling themselves journalists and journalism and so forth, provide both sides of the argument and let the viewers decide. You know, when Iran launched the Khorramshahr-4, Iran also attacked or targeted a dangerous biological laboratory inside Israel, and the location of that, it's called Israel Institute for Biological Research. It is located in Ness Ziona. That's where it is located. And of course, that's based on a valuable report and the most significant and sensitive biological research facility in Israel that was attacked. And that's, by the way, it's— I've, I've, I've, uh, I've read the articles about it. And, and again, I have, uh, and I'm going to show you a clip in a second here, but there was a, an American writer and he's a media analyst. His name is Adam Johnson. I'm going to share the link with you. And he's the founder of the column, is called Column Platform. And what is his specialty? He's— his specialty is in criticizing media performance and exposing the institutional biases. And that is where he argued that this coverage that we are only seeing half of the story revealed the blatant and shocking bias in priorities of U.S. major media coverage of the war on Iran. That is why I'm doing what I'm doing for you because I want you to see the other side of the arguments. And that is again, and I'll give you a quick example. And I wish I could have shared the pictures because I had a picture of the, I'm just, I'm sorry, I just can't do the pictures. Picture of the school that was targeted by the US and Israel. That school for girls. Why would the US and Israel target a school? Why? 168 schoolgirls were killed. That's, to me, it's massacre. It's not a military target. It's not a military legitimate target to launch a missile at. And yet, did we hear, at least here in the US, I'll speak for my country, I don't speak for others, no single media outlet addressed or mentioned it. This is what this guy, the American media analyst, Adam Johnson, is criticizing him. Because here is the thing. If we would have seen that image in reverse, in other words, if Iran would have attacked a school in Israel and killed 168 students, little kids, the world will go up in arms. Will go up in arms. And yet the media wasn't able to cover at least what happened. Now let's go back to our conversation about those 3 types of weapons, because this is a change in the escalation phase that is managed by Iran, not by the U.S. or Israel, because the air defense architecture right now in Israel is fundamentally broken against these missiles that Iran is launching. Israel has layered the defense systems. You have the Iron Dome, you have the David's Sling, you have the Arrow 3, which were designed— those are designed for the previous generations of types of missiles or threats or what have you. And now you have the hypersonic glide vehicles can maneuver in both course and pitch at an extreme speed, making them nearly impossible for existing air defense systems to intercept. And this is just Iran. Imagine if the Chinese launch their hypersonic, which is at Mach 30. Just think about it. This is why I'm saying So to China, this is a good investment in helping Iran for the intelligence sharing as far as satellites and so forth, because the return on investment is worth it. Because here is the harsh reality, even from within Israel, the most damning assessments came from inside its own defense industry. And you have Yuval Bezischi, who is the vice president of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. And that's the— it's the leading missile defense developer. He's now warning that the hypersonic missiles open a new era in air defenses. Meaning what? It means that Fateh-1, Fateh-2, Khorramshahr-4, and all the other within that family of those type of missiles will almost certainly continue to penetrate Israel's air defenses with impunity throughout this conflict and maybe for some time to come. This is why I believe, and it is my opinion, that's why I believe Iran is stated and stand by its position as far as We are willing to go in this war for the next 2 years if we have to. That means they have the arsenal for it. That means they have the supply for it. Israel doesn't, the US doesn't. Wait until I share with you in the next video about what the US just did regarding replenishing this shortage in missiles and so forth. If you only know where it came from. And the idea that the, the combat results are already— the results are already devastating because this isn't theoretical anymore. Because even as I said, images will not lie. And for me personally, the ones that I saw, and now I can— because they took them down, or the clips or what have you that I saw, I I had to check and double-check on the dates to make sure this is not some old footage from somewhere. And I found out that the date is as of yesterday, March 5th, 2026. So when you think about the footage that I saw for Israel, even Israeli confirmed that Fattah-2 hypersonic glide vehicle struck a fortified— a fortified IDF command center, killing about 7 senior officers, in addition to causing multiple additional casualties. Of course, there are casualties on the Iranian side. As a matter of fact, the Iranian casualties crossed 1,000 now. Even the Iranians also confirmed that they have attacked using Fateh-2 missile targeting U.S. military facilities, not the country, in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar. And now you have Khaibar or Khorramshahr-4 that, that as of 2 days ago, struck near the office of the Prime Minister and the headquarters of the Israeli Force Command. Some said the Prime Minister is not in Israel, he's in Germany. I do not know. All I know is that when I looked at the tracking for the planes, the tracking for the planes, his plane at that time when the war started, it wasn't— it was moving towards Germany. Is he still there? I don't know. And I can't say something I do not know. Now, what is Israel's options? Really, real options. So I don't know. There is no endurance. Israel will not sustain this even for a month. They will not sustain it. And once again, I found myself asking ahead of time, will Israel resolve to using nuclear weapons against Iran? Because they can't sustain this. They cannot sustain it. Major cities are hit. In the assessment that I read, you're looking at Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv has been the most targeted city. Tel Aviv is the capital, and the Iron Dome they're supposed to protect— no, not anymore, because the Iranian missiles struck residential block in the coastal city. Causing heavy damages based on those images that I saw and creating a large, large, very large crater. The Home Front Command confirmed the complete, uh, a complete ballistic missile, not just fragments. The missile in itself made the hit, and that missile, as I mentioned earlier, carries a warhead Several hundred kilo, uh, kilograms, 1,500 kilograms. Yeah, 40 people according to the— and I'm going to share the link with you— 40 people didn't make it inside that Tel Aviv. Did, did CNN talk about it? Did Fox talk about it? Did the CNBC? All of those, I, I don't listen to those anyway. I don't watch them. I don't even watch the news in America. It's because I know how it is. I used to work in DC, kind of understand how it is. So let me share the link quickly so you can read for yourself about what is not being reported. And in addition to 40 people, you have 40 buildings in Tel Aviv were damaged. And this was only on Saturday. That was back then on Saturday, a few days ago. Even now, the Haaretz, the Haaretz, which is the newspaper, uh, it's, it's reputable in Israel. I'll give credit where credit is due. They do go against the government in disclosing the information, and that's what they disclosed. This is the Haaretz that disclosed this information. Al Jazeera confirmed it. Beit Shemesh suffered the world's deadliest single strike on Israel so far by Iranian ballistic missiles. Borsheba, that's the name of the location. I couldn't remember the first time. Borsheba. Borsheba is in the south part of Israel, had a direct hit with an Iranian ballistic missile. Wounding about 19 Israelis. It didn't talk about any death. And that's where everybody was evacuated, everybody. And the missile destroys homes and so forth. So the overall casualty picture— Israel did confirm casualties— uh, of that stands over 10 They're not gonna go beyond. The other one mentioned about 40 so far. They're not gonna disclose that. In June, it took this long for that information to come out. In June, there were over 28 dead Israelis, 3,000 hospitalized. But during that time in June 2025, nothing was mentioned. Nothing was mentioned. But the damage not only from an infrastructure and the strategic damage, you have the damage of psychological. Because now, if you think about the infrastructure, for example, the damage extends well beyond residential buildings. A 9-story building was hit in northern Israel. The Ministry of Health in Israel has moved now hospital operations, all of them underground. Ben Gurion Airport has been hit with a direct missile. And that's where Iran claimed that it's Khorramshahr-4 that struck Ben Gurion Airport. The psychological damage to this, it's astronomical. Again, I saw another clip somewhere., the people are panicking inside Israel. They're not getting used to that because they've been told the Iron Dome will protect you. And when psychologically, if you are psychologically impacted, no security will ever return you to normalcy. Think about it. Multiple explosions have reported in the sky. Above northern and central parts of Israel. And that includes Tel Aviv area and Haifa, where sirens now have become— the sound of sirens is continuous. Now, you know how much damage that will do to you psychologically? Continuously, day and night. People shelters now underground. Underground parking lots for cars have been turned into sleeping shelters. Once again, I saw the images. So the bottom line is that the trajectory is deeply concerning. When you have cities from Haifa and Beersheba are being hit directly and Tel Aviv, the critical infrastructure is under pressure. Hospital operates— have gone— operations have gone underground. Add to all this, you have now Hezbollah in the north front has been reopened. This is why Israel now is evacuating all Israelis living in northern Israel. Can we go as far as saying, is this damage reached the threshold of existential threat? Maybe not yet. But every day, every day the war continues without stopping Iranian missiles, the cumulative toll will grow in a direction that Israel society, Israel society, economy, political setting, defense stockpiles cannot sustain indefinitely. That's the hard truth. So let me, let me see. No, I don't have— just to highlight to you one other aspect, uh, because it's very, very important. I have our dear friend Matt Backe shared this with me, and I wanted to share it with you. And thank you, Matt, for sharing this one. Here is to highlight to you the double standards of the media. So this individual is in United Arab Emirates. Okay, but just take a listen.

This is Jules Sullivan reporting from a terrifying situation in the UAE. As you can hear, there are many loud noises. Shut up, you lot. For the record, the loud noises are construction. We know what you're doing, British and European media. We understand that you are state propaganda and you're given direct talking points by your governments. Your governments were so concerned about all the ultra-high-net-worth individuals leaving Europe and leaving UK for Dubai that you're now trying to trash Dubai's reputation. But I got news for you, wealthy people tend to be smart. They can see through the sheep programming and they would much rather take occasional missile intercepts than pay 50% tax. You can trust me on that. I really think it is nothing short of shameless to see the British and European media pushing so hard to fearmonger. Does it look scary? Does it look like a war zone? No. So yeah, just stop listening to these mainstream propaganda outlets. It's just not real anymore. We can all source real-time information from credible sources like the official channels. If you know how to use social media and listen to people who are actually credible and have genuine experience, then that can be a decent source of information as well. But wow, I cannot believe how shameless British and European media are being, and I don't think they have any credibility left. If you listen to mainstream media in the West, you need to check yourself.

Good point, good point. Once again, thank you, Matt Bakke, for sharing this with us. And it's just my point is to highlight to you, so that's why I always say be careful of what you listen to. There are some credible people out there You know, take a listen, listen to the other perspectives. This way you form your own, your own narrative, not what the media is dictating. And I'm gonna conclude with this because I reached, uh, my— we wanna, uh, above 1 hour here. So here's my conclusion for you, and my conclusion will be in terms of I want you to see the big, the big picture beside Iran missiles and Ramshahr and all that stuff. You think about this war, the Trump-Netanyahu attack on Iran. Here's the thing. It is aimed at distraction from congressional behind-closed-doors investigations of Trump himself, possible involvements with the Epstein paraphernalia. It is also about Netanyahu's dream of annihilation Iran. It is also about Trump attempts to hurt China's economy in favor of the US by increasing energy prices, disrupting supply chains, and most certainly more than that, about the defense contractor making billions out of the misery of other people. So far, and I'm going to conclude with this, so far We are spending— we, the United States, spending a billion dollars a day. So this is what I'm going to be addressing for you next time with some details. I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to Jane Wong. Thank you, Juan, for your super sticker. I know someone last time posted the super sticker. I am so sorry I didn't see it. My apologies for not I, I got a comment on it. So thank you so much, uh, I wanna truly appreciate you for this. I'll take this opportunity to also say thank you to Horace Oasis Baby for becoming a new member at Buy Me Coffee. Truly appreciate your support for my channel, for my work. And you all know, uh, you, you know, guys, I don't have sponsors. I have you, the community. Should you decide to support the channel, I will be very grateful to you. Here is the link for— you know the type of information you are receiving here, and I spend time reading and researching in addition to my other obligations so I can provide you an accurate account or an accurate information as the developments goes within my own analysis that I share with you. So I will greatly appreciate your support for my channel. For those who are interested in, uh buying copies of my books, there's the link for it, especially the book about Iran and Saudi Arabia, if you are interested about this one here. And for my upcoming Asia trip, here is the link for it. I still plan on traveling. We are not— we didn't cross 20% yet, and I look forward to hopefully we'll reach that $10,000 funding goal or objective by June so I can start prepare for the trips. I hope you enjoyed this. I wish you a good weekend. Be on the lookout for a video I'm going to be releasing about Germany and China. Germany is ditching America for China. That's surprising. And I will be working next week on, on, on some other analysis for you. Regarding this development. So hope you enjoyed listening to this analysis. Thank you for being here.
