Trump’s “Completely Annihilated”; The Iran Claim That Aged Terribly

Hello everybody and welcome to Geopolitical Trends, where truth matters. Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, declared victory about on Iran. Then Iran shut down, of course, as you know, an F-15. That was back then. Then fired more missiles. Okay, then it seized some ships. So what did we exactly destroy? And this is exactly what the Trump administration, Trump himself, and Pete Higsett have been saying. Oh, we destroyed Iran. They lied. And what I'm going to share with you is the proof straight from their own intelligence reports. So I'm going to be talking about the naval aspects of it. I'll share some clips with you. Provide you my own analysis about this, and I will conclude with some, uh, short clips that I gathered from some, uh, media outlets, uh, here in my location and in some other locations in the Middle East. So make sure to stick with me till the end of this live stream. So the White House has said that Iran military was completely annihilated, you know, and at the same time, the US intelligence disagreed with that reassessment Quietly. Even the intelligence community should have the guts enough to tell Trump to his face, stop lying, man. And it's the same with, with the pig heads. Hegseth yesterday standing at the podium and saying, or, or spewing lies basically, which what it was. And that is exactly what Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, did yesterday, that stating that the US embargo on Iran is expanding globally and that Iran still has the opportunity to reach a good deal with the United States. No, no, no, no, no, it's the other way around. Iran is not willing to— it's not— Iran is not going to cave in, and Iran is, is still standing. And this is where the lies of Pete Hegseth come in, especially when he adding when he added during the press conference that no ship is allowed to sail from the Strait of Hormuz to anywhere in the world without permission from the US Navy, end of quote, which was completely a lie because Iran just allowed some ships across the Strait of Hormuz, and the deposit for the fees for the transit were deposited in the Iranian Central Bank, more than one ship. So what the reality, uh, what, what, what, uh, uh, Pete Hegseth is saying versus what the reality is are two different stories. And this is where the lies come to compound to the point that they lost track of what they've said before. Because when he's discussing, for example, the impact of the embargo, explaining that it has severely hampered Iran's commercial capabilities and that the US Navy has so far turned back 34 ships from the Strait of Hormuz. That's what he's saying, which has nothing to do with the truth. Equally important, and if it is this case, then why would you fire the Secretary of Navy. If all this is going well, then why would you fire him? Yeah, and adding to this, Pete Haig said, and the President Donald Trump, when they argue about, especially specifically for the Secretary of Defense, when he started to complete that, the complete destruction of the Iranian Navy, because the Iranian Navy is at the bottom of the Gulf. 'in quote.' What a bunch of nonsense. The Iranian Navy still stands, by the way. They are not at the bottom of the Gulf, and the US cannot get closer to the Strait of Hormuz. Why? Because you're looking at Iran's capabilities, which I will be discussing and sharing a clip with you about why Iran is preparing certain types of missiles as we speak. So when Pete Haack said— Secretary of Defense saying that any attempt by Iran to lay more mines will constitute a violation of the ceasefire— well, hold on a second, it was you that violated the ceasefire, meaning the US in this case. And it's all this bravado, it has nothing to do with reality. What are we trying to intimidate Iran? It's not going to work. At the same time, if we are to put these statements under the lenses of reality, when for example Hicks is saying, oh, the blockade is going global, how real is this? And I'm here to refute this kind of statements because I listened to it yesterday. That's why I wanted to do this for you today before I leave this, my location here to our next destination. So this is a part that has a— some might say, well, it has some meaningful substance to it or behind it. Yeah, it might be. No one sails from the Strait of Hormuz to anywhere in the world without the permission of the United States Navy, end quote. But at the same time, doesn't make any sense because some ships have crossed the Strait of Hormuz once they paid the fees for crossing. To Iran, not to the US. Equally important, the real— there are real limits. Literally, there are real limits. Of course, now we are talking about another aircraft carrier, uh, the US, that is on its way, uh, to join so-called the blockade. No, no, because we saw this before. In the Red Sea, and we saw what the outcome of when the USS Eisenhower had to leave, claiming that it has to be fixed, whatever some issue was with it. Has nothing to do with that. So that leads us to address the real limits. US officials saying the blockade has turned back 34 ships, but here is the hard truth. The ship tracking Data showed— and I have the link for it, I'm going to share it with you because it was from here, from Europe— shows that Iran has still been able to move its own sanctioned oil cargoes. And Iran is using armed small fast boats to lay mines. That means what? Who is in charge? It's not the US. As Trump will have you believe, especially for my American viewers. Americans needs to wake up. And this is again, these fast boats lay in mine. And as a matter of fact, I read yesterday a report that suggests, again suggesting, that it will take up to 6 months to clear the mines. 6 months. So let me share the link with you for this particular news. I'll put it in the chat box and you can read it later on should you decide to do so. Now, and with this, I'm gonna play a clip to highlight to you that the, the bravado about We destroyed Iran's, uh, launching pads, we destroyed Iran military, and so forth. And yet Iran's missiles are returning to service far faster than you can even believe, even faster than before. And I'm gonna share a clip with you to see it with your own eyes, and I'll play the, uh, uh Uh, I'll play the— I'm sorry, I'll do the translation for you because it's very, very short. So let me, uh, not this one. Here we go. And I do give credit, this one, to Step News Agency. That's their clip here. So what I'm gonna do is— it's very short— it's just to show you what is going on and what the US is really lying. Donald Trump and, uh, and, and is just lying. It is what it says. Iran's hell is back. Missiles and drones are being re-equipped, and Iranian leaders are threatening America and Israel and the ongoing truce. While some expect Tehran to prepare for surrender, which is, which is a, which is a a sort of wishful thinking. Anyway, it appears they are using the lull to prepare for renewed war. The Iranian news site, Nur News Agency, quoted Majid Musavi, commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic— of the IRGC, as saying that Iran is modernizing and reequipping its missiles and drone launch platform at a faster pace, uh, faster pace than before the war. Although the veracity of Mousavi's statements is uncertain, if accurate, it represents the blow to Washington, which set the objectives of the war as eliminating Iran's missile capabilities. However, according to Mousavi's statements, this objective has not been achieved. Has Iran emerged stronger than before, or are these merely pronouncements for domestic consumption. And, and, and I sort of, so far what I have seen, based again what, what I shared with you for the last, uh, week or two, as far as the updates of what's going on, Iran will not have any reason to just bluff. Why will they do that? And this is exactly what Iran is doing. So I just want to share that clip with you for you to see, because it was the same argument I made yesterday about the missile Qa'em-100. We all know what it means now, and there is a conversation inside Washington about, okay, what's next? It's because once Iran finalized the stage for this to become an ICBM, it's over for the US. And we don't have anything that can counter the ICBM, the, uh, the hypersonic. And this is where you start to think in terms— when Donald Trump and his Secretary of Defense, which in another word is just another pathetic servant anyway, nobody has the gut to tell Trump to his face who the heck you think he is. You know, it's kind of— to me, that's what leadership is all about. You, you have to stand for what's right. You can't just bow to pressure just because he's the boss. Well, he's the boss, so what? You give him the proper respect, but that's about it. But the— sadly enough is that most of the serving in cabinets are compromising their own principles, and this is exactly Why? I don't believe Iran is bluffing because many were thinking about the idea of the, the Qaem-100 was nothing but a bluff, and it turns out not to be the case. The same argument I will make about, no, we destroyed Iran, we destroyed the navy, whatever. They're lying because Iran is still standing and Iran is still firing missiles. That's what it means. So when Donald Trump comes and says, oh, the good deal window, it's nonsense. Why? Because there are more questions than there are answers. And when the more Donald Trump says that, the more he strains his credibility, which he doesn't have any. You and I know, you know, because the reality as of now is that the talks, the negotiations are essentially stalled. As a matter of fact, I'm going to share, show you— actually, as a matter of fact, I can show you the image right now. Do you know who's in Moscow right now? Is Iran's foreign minister, Saeed Abbas. He is right there in Moscow. That's what it says in Arabic. He is visiting Russia in a critical moment. After that, he's going to go to the region near Pakistan. Makes you just wonder. And this is why Tehran has refused to participate now in the second round of in-person talks in Islamabad unless the naval blockade is lifted first. They put in conditions. The very blockade, Haqq said, is touting as expanding. And that's to me the way I look at it. If these negotiations to ever take a step forward, that's a fundamental sort of preconditions the US has not met and Iran is demanding. And that in itself, from part of the US, is sending contradictory signals, especially the US, because the US flip-flops. You can't trust the US administration. Or government for that matter. Trump simultaneously claimed, and I put this in quotes because I had to keep it, "The concept of a deal is done," end of quote. That's what Trump is saying while at the same time threatening to bomb Iran's power plants and bridges if a deal isn't signed. That's some sort of an unusual combination of confidence and coercion. Doesn't make sense. Who wants to negotiate under this kind of conditions? Even the ceasefire itself is disputed. Iran's military claimed that the US seizure of a cargo in the Gulf of Aden violated the ceasefire and constitute maritime piracy, and rightly so. Why will US, uh, sort of, uh, seize, the, the cargo ship. And at the same time, Iran is not backing down. Iran says he will retaliate. And to make matter worse, especially in my location here in Europe, is that most of the Europeans' conversation is that the so-called allies are not on board on this. The French president Emmanuel Macron said yesterday the US could not complain about a lack of ally support in an operation they choose to undertake alone. He is spot on. He said himself— this guy here, which I never believed he was qualified, my pal, sort of, he was never qualified for the position— he said himself, acknowledged that the US is not counting on Europe, which is a remarkable admission given Europe's dependence on Hormuz. That's what I'm saying. Europeans now— and again, I talk to people here— Europeans are now really caught between a, a, a rock and a hard place because they wanted to have the Iranian oil, but also they're so scared and afraid of the US. Well, where do you stand? We saw what's happened in Germany, and as a matter of fact, I'm gonna share a picture or clip with you later on about Helsinki, the, the former, the prime minister of Helsinki. Oh, she is another clueless, clueless. So we'll get into that in a moment here. So the bottom line to all this so far here, this blockade expansion, this blockade expansion, yeah, it's there, but is it going global? No, No, no, no, no, no. Even though Pete Hegseth said, oh, we have the naval power to enforce it more globally, I don't think so. What do you think, China's just going to be sitting watching? What do you think, Russia's just going to be sitting and watching? And as a matter of fact, Russia just did another test of a missile. Makes you just wonder the timing of all this. You remember last time I told you about North Korea embarking on some testing of missiles? Even Iran itself is embarking on some— is something working or about to happen? Yeah, but at the same time, the claim of Donald Trump that, oh, a good deal opportunity remains open is deeply, uh, what's the word I'm looking for, paradoxically, you know, it's paradoxical. You can't believe, you can't trust what Donald Trump is saying. Yeah, US doesn't know. We don't know. We don't know what we want. Yeah, we pressuring saying we will bomb you and if you don't sign an agreement. Doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way. So what you have basically, you have the gap between the administration's public claim, what Donald Trump and his subservient secretaries are are saying. And you have, on the other hand, the intelligence community or the intelligence reality that has been glaring through this conflict. And you know what's the key to all those? Is that we can't defeat Iran, okay? You will not be able to regime change because Iran government still standing, and Iran's capability will not be diminished or destroyed. Simple as that. And as a matter of fact, Iran is prepared for the long haul. We're talking about 2 years They can fight for 2 years. And this where what I need you to understand. That's why I wanted to do this for you. As far as the understanding, especially from the US, the pattern of overstated claim, another word for lies. So the Trump administration has repeatedly declared, oh, near total destruction of Iranian capability, only for reality to contradict them shortly after. It's no different than what Peter Haig said, said yesterday. What an idiot. So when Trump is saying whatever, no, no, it doesn't work that way. Doesn't work that way. Because if I am to break it down just in two or three areas, for example, on missiles, if we are to talk about the Iranian missiles and capabilities Like I'm going to show— share just a few pictures to make a point here. The idea is the White House flatly declared, and it's on a record and I have the link for it, that Iran's ballistic missile capacity is functionally destroyed, end quote. That's exactly what the statement's coming out of the White House, which is a lie. Yeah, they adding that, oh, Iran's navy, it's, it's combat ineffective. Once again, it's another lie. The complete total area dominance over Iran, meaning we control over Iran, it's another lie. And yet on the very day, the same day After similar claims were issued, what happened? Qatar was targeted with missiles. And as a matter of fact, another missile from Iran landed in Abu Dhabi and killed an individual there. So what the— basically the intelligence were saying, it's just the intelligence didn't come forward publicly to say, you know what, Donald Trump, stop. Mr. President, stop lying. Stop lying, because here is what the assessments of the intelligence is saying. Roughly half, half of Iran missile launchers are still intact, and thousands of one-way attack drones remain in Iran's arsenal. And this is the recent US intelligence assessment. This is a US assessment, not a Mossad assessment or la DST French or MI6. No, no, no, no. This inside the US are saying this one. As a matter of fact, to my knowledge, but again, the name, I don't know the name because it's anonymous. You can't— sources from the IC will have to remain sort of anonymous. One source, you know what I said? It said that for Iran, they are still poised to wreak havoc, absolute havoc through the entire region. By the region, it's because when you look at this map here, it will make more sense to you. Take a look. All US presence in those locations. This is why 2 days ago it was a meeting in Cyprus by the EU. Because part of that, but for Iran, it's all these locations are within reach. And again, that is— that's what the intelligence assessment is saying. Even, even the head of the DIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, is, uh, is Lieutenant General James Adams. I, I got a picture of him. Yeah, James Adams right here. He's the head of the DIA. Okay, he is in a written statement And that written statement is under oath. So in a written statement, it said that Iran still has thousands of missiles and one-way attack of UAV, unmanned aerial vehicles, capable of targeting US and partner forces in the region. And if that's not enough, then I don't know what is. So why On earth the Secretary is coming yesterday morning and lying about it? Why on earth Donald Trump is saying stuff that don't exist? And why on earth no one in the administration has the gut to come forward and say, Mr. President, this is not right? Of course we have a sleepy American citizenry. People are clueless as to even what's going on. But you pay what you vote for. That's, that's the point. That was on the missile side. On the Navy side, you have statements coming out of the White House, oh, we completely destroyed Iran's Navy. Yet the Joint Chiefs chairman confirmed only, only half of the IRGC small attack boats have been sunk. Well, let that sink in when you consider what does Iran have regarding the speedboat. And as we see today, Iran is still actively using these boats to lay mines and, of course, challenge whatever ships come across the Strait of Hormuz. Then on the air defense, once again the incompetent Secretary of Defense said, and I quote, 'Iran no longer has an air defense,' end of quote. He also added, and I quote, 'We own their skies,' end of quote. What I don't understand is how can people stand knowing that they are saying lies and go ahead with that. That's just what I don't understand. I, I don't get it. But beside all this, and here is what happened to Hegseth when he said the last one, you know, about we own their skies, meaning Iran skies. You know what happened after that? He was forced to concede shortly afterward. Why? Because the downing of the F-15. Of course, they are not going to address the attack on the F-35. That stays classified because— why? It's because that's one of the top on the list of weapons we sell to countries, let alone the cost, astronomical. To my knowledge, the last country that just purchased some is, I think, Morocco, which doesn't make any sense to me from a cost perspective. They are astronomically costly. To maintain, and the US controls those planes. But when the F-15 Eagle was shut down, Hagseth had to retract his statement because what he said was— turns out to be a lie. So, and this leads me to ask one key question, and the key question is why Iran has been able to absorb the strikes. It's a legitimate question to ask. And this, by the way, has nothing to do with luck. There is no such thing. It was a deliberate Iranian strategy. And this, you have to go back a few years ago, pre-war planning. What did Iran do? To my knowledge, and again, I discussed some of the military aspects when I wrote my Iran book back then. I did mention what if the eventuality of a conflict. Well, it turns out to be that was the case of what this pre-war planning meant for Iran military, which means in a simple language, what Iran was able to do is was able with, through this planning, to mitigate the impact of US-Israeli strikes on its weapons arsenal. And how that happened is with this operational planning undertaken in anticipation, because they expected this to happen, of the conflict. And what they did proved effective in, in, in preserving Iran's missiles and drones capabilities. That is the hard fact, and that's also the assessment or the conclusion the IC, the intelligence community here in the US, reached. Because why? Iran has developed extensive tunnel networks under mountains. We're talking about missile cities. I remember sharing a clip with you about this one, because those, those, those shelters or those tunnels are built into mountain terrain with some facility at a depth of 500 meters down. Yeah, which makes it very, very difficult. So to understand all this reality is that this fit the recognizable template coming out of Washington: the lies, maximalist public claim of victory, Why? So we can serve the domestic political agenda or messaging. Because Donald Trump knows, knows the guy is— and I'm starting to wonder, and again, I have nothing against Mr. Trump. I don't care for Mr. Trump anyway. I didn't vote for him. I don't vote for American anymore because you can't trust them anymore. What I was going to say is the question I was going to ask is, and I'm starting to ask Is he— and please, please weigh in into this question, your opinion matters to me— is he inherently a liar? And I'm starting to think, is this something wrong with his genes? And I don't know, you can, you can live life like that, man. You're lying right and left. And I'm like starting to wonder, is he inherently a liar. So just let me know in the chat box what you think about this one. So when he will go and claim this victory, yeah, of course he wants to serve the domestic, uh, audience here. But at the same time, you have the follow-up from the IC, the intelligence community, you know, leaking different assessments altogether. And what they are saying is that the reality of what Donald Trump is saying, the reality is completely the opposite and different. And so like I said, the, uh, uh, Hegseth is saying we stopped 34 ships. The tracking data for ships says otherwise because this independent— and those are not government associated— this independent tracking data from the armed conflict locations and event data showed Iranian strikes persist as of today. And as a matter of fact, what it shows is that Iran's, uh, Iran's strikes are some sort of persistent, okay, at a relatively steady and uninterrupted pace. From the start of the war through to ceasefire. At least that's what it was. So when Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth now claims the blockade is ironclad and a deal is within reach, oh man, there is reasonably a basis for skepticism here. Not because those tanks are impossible. That's not the case. It's because this incompetent administration has demonstrated a track record of lying, of letting political messages run well ahead of operational facts on the ground. That is where the issue is. And I kind of quite, uh, disturbed by this reality? I don't know. We need to take a step back and think. If the truth matters to you, hit like, subscribe, and tap that bell. No spin, no agenda, just the stories they don't want you to know. Don't watch from the sideline. Be part of the movement. Your support keeps the truth alive. Thank you. Indeed. So what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna play some clips for you. I have a few, uh, very short. Then I'll, I'll, I'll, I want to leave you with some key questions and conclude, uh, or summarize my conversation today. And I'm going to keep it brief because I have some other stuff I need to do because I will be leaving this location. So, uh, all right, let's start with the first And the first one, it's— I'm just gonna play it. There is nothing because it's just written. I want you just to see, and I'll translate for you. Okay, now I have to silence this, and here is what it says. This is a breaking Iran is doing a parade, a parade about its missiles in Tehran, because that's what the Iranian military says. Al-Jashl-e-Irani, al-Jashl-e-Irani yakhrouj bi al-yati ila sahah. The Iranian army has taken now its weapons out to the street to see. Of course, they're not going to show everything. And I just wanted to show you this one here. The next one I want to play for you is a statement by the Iranian Foreign Minister, Saeed Abbas Arakchi, or Dr. Abbas Arakchi. Very interesting. It's in English. So just take a listen. And what I want you to pay attention to is the requirement, what Iran is asking for. And I think it's not— I think it's justly. Because if you go back 4 decades of sanctions, it'll make more sense to you. Let's take a listen, please.

Will remain closed until the US releases $11 trillion. Iran's foreign minister just said the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the US releases $11 trillion in frozen Iranian assets. They say the ceasefire will end in the next 48 hours if they don't release the assets. Be sure to subscribe.

Okay, uh, the other one, as I mentioned earlier, which I showed you a picture, is that Mr. Arakchi is in Moscow. Once again, the timing of it is very, very important. The next one I'm going to share with you is that about, uh, uh, Iran. Uh, yeah, we already did that one. I want to share with you something about China which I found very interesting, the timing of it. Again, everything has to do with the timing, and it's in English. And once again, you have to keep in mind that North Korea is testing, Russia just tested something recently as far as some type of missile, and now you have the Chinese. Take a listen, please. That's in it, it's in In English anyway.

Pentagon is panicking over China's new ICBM. Meet China's DF-41. This monster of a missile is a solid-fueled, road-mobile ICBM. That means it doesn't just sit in an underground silo, it constantly moves on massive 16-wheeled trucks, hiding in deep tunnel networks, ready to launch at a moment's notice. With a massive range of up to 15,000 kilometers, it can cover every single state in the USA. But here is the truly terrifying part: it doesn't just carry one warhead. The DF-41 can carry up to 10 independent nuclear warheads, flying at a blinding speed of Mach 25, striking completely different targets all at once. Plus, it drops fake decoys to completely confuse enemy missile defenses.

All right, and I give credit to Defense DEC. That's the, the clip I wanted to share with you. And the next one I'm gonna share with you is the one about the foreign minister or prime minister of Finland. Uh, the foreign minister, I'm sorry, her name is Elena Valtonen, let me show you a picture. I kind of read up on her a little bit, and she just issued a statement yesterday from Helsinki. Behind her is Kaas, she's the European Union foreign policy, which they're clueless, respectfully to women, I have great respect for ladies, but she's clueless about foreign policy. They're just not equipped with this. It was the same issue that I wrote an article a few months ago about the previous foreign minister of Finland. They made catastrophe. So what happened with this foreign minister? Her statement yesterday that now she's giving China an ultimatum. The foreign minister of Finland. Says that China ties with Russia are a disqualifying factor for any EU-China trade deal. No FTA talks, no negotiations, not unless China drops Russia, which is— it not only is stupid on her part, it shows you the lack of depth of understanding. Europe needs China more than China needs Europe. That's one. Second, who was traveling recently to China? European heavy hitters. Is Finland heavy hitter in Europe? No. Where the difference is, is that for Finland, it has a veto power within the EU. That is where the difference. My point in this is that What this foreign minister, how clueless she is, she doesn't realize is that Finland today has fallen to the worst performing EU state. And you know why? Due to self-imposed sanctions on Russia. Because what happened? They have now shortage in oil and gas. They have a decline in tourism. And the cities on the border with Russia, shrinking away without spending visitors. And let alone, there is one big issue that they, they have in Finland as we speak, is the highest unemployment in the European Union. And that's why I found she's so clueless into all this. Makes you just wonder. And the last one I want to share with you is my— from my fellow citizen Jeffrey Sachs. I want you to take a listen and put it in perspective, in perspective as to what the U.S. is saying versus the reality. So take a listen to Professor Sachs.

The idea that America calls the shots for the world is wrongheaded, it's delusional, it's dangerous. And this was another example of that. It costs everybody when those delusions are put into practice. America is not all-powerful. America is one of several superpowers, not alone. America is not unique in its power, and America can't dictate terms to other parts of the world that don't want to be dictated to. So this is basically the, the bottom line lesson, and in a way, it exposes a truth. That is a truth that I hope American politicians come to understand as well as the rest of the world will see.

Great insights. And by the way, I give credit to CGTN. That was a clip from that interview that I watched. It was a long one. It was an hour or so. So it was very, very interesting. In any event, I wanted to share that with you, and I'm going to just brief— I mean, summarize what I talked about earlier. Some, uh, regarding, uh, the lies coming out of, uh, uh, the Secretary of Defense, coming out of the president regarding the destruction of the Iranian Navy, which has nothing to do with the truth. And by the way, when we think about, uh, just with the development of the missiles we talked about yesterday, you consider the distance between Israel and Iran. Iran doesn't need to deploy these long-range ones. Iran has capability to hit Israel. As a matter of fact, Iran now just— it can hit Israel anytime it wants to because they found out— they, meaning Iran, found out that the Iron Domes and David's slings are useless in comparison to Iranian missiles. That is the harsh reality that Washington and Tel Aviv do not want to admit. That's why these two individuals are lost. Anyway, uh, here is the thing. The facts are no longer in dispute. That's not even by the Pentagon's own intelligence agency within, which is that— that's what the DIA is supposed to be, independent from the policy. Of course, you're not going to trust the IC in the US. Intelligence can be manipulated I've seen it before. I've seen when some high-ranking will force analysts to change the wording on saying— so I'm not saying the IC is a saint. No, it's not. But at least for now, even the Pentagon's own intelligence is contradicting what the Secretary is saying. So why you have the Secretary of Defense standing on the podium yesterday morning declaring Iran completely destroyed, and at the same time his boss, another liar, uh, Trump, boasting of total victory. You have their own analysts, the ones in the White House and the ones in the Pentagon, were quietly writing something completely different. Their reports suggesting a different, different story altogether. Half of Iran's missiles are still in intact. As a matter of fact, I saw the number: 60%. Thousands of drones are still operational. And of course, we had a week and a half ago or so the F-15 down. You have now the mines still being laid in the Strait of Hormuz. So a blockade that by their own admission, meaning the, the, the, the White House and the Pentagon, It hasn't fully stopped Iranian oil from moving. And this isn't just about being wrong. No, no, no, no, no. I understand mistakes in a war can happen. That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is this is about a pattern. You know how you can detect a liar? You have to look just for the pattern. That's what we're talking about here. This is about a pattern. A deliberate, a repeated choice to tell the American people and the world for that matter. You tell them one thing while the classified briefings said another thing. And that gap in between the narrative and reality isn't just embarrassing, it's dangerous. And the reason it is dangerous is because decisions about war Ceasefire, diplomacy, and what have you gets made based on what leaders claim is true, not what actually is. And in the case of Donald Trump, he has no way out. He was sucked in. Israel pulled him into the trap and let him figure it out because As of this moment, I'm talking to you, Iran is still standing. Iran is still armed. Iran still negotiating from a position of surprising strength. They hold the card. And the world, by the way, is watching to see whether Washington's next move is guided by facts or by the next press conference. That's what amounts to our dealings with global affairs because we don't have substantive, qualified individuals with insights and substance in understanding the complexity of these issues. So I'm going to leave you with one question like I always do, and I truly, I truly appreciate you answering those and leaving your feedbacks. And, and I know someone yesterday put a comment, oh, Dr. O, you don't read all of them. I did, and that was the reason why I answered that particular individual. So I will say straightforward, stop this nonsense, okay? I have no tolerance for that. And if this is not at your level, then get out. Simple as that. We don't need individuals like that in this community. So here is the question for you. If the Trump administration knew Iran still has about 50 or 60% of its missile capabilities and thousands of drones remaining, but told the American people and the world, for that matter, otherwise, what else are they not telling us about this war? Fair question. So make sure you drop me your, uh, your, your thoughts in the, uh, in the comment section. I will— I would like to read your stuff. I will be working on some stories for you for next few days. So if you don't see me in a few days, uh, because I'm moving, I have to head out to another location, and I will be addressing some other good topics for you that I need to to— oh, and I'm gonna do a surprise for you. Even though I said it's over, I'm gonna play the last clip that I need you to see about Russia missile, because we did talk about this one. And again, think about the timing, guys, the timing. It's in English here. Take a look.

This behemoth of a missile is a nightmare because at 111 feet and almost 50,000 pounds, it can reach New York in in 18 minutes and can wipe out 100,000 square miles because it carries 10 warheads on board. And that's not the scary part. It is impossible to stop because it tricks the missile defense systems like Iron Dome. Once it starts re-entering the Earth, it multiplies into 50 missiles, but that's an illusion, you see. These missiles carrying 40 other decoys with the warheads, once released, all 50 of them look the same, overloading the defense systems, allowing real war heads to slip through. This—

all right, I just want to have this for you. So anyway, I hope you enjoyed listening to this, uh, and I truly appreciate you, uh, being here as always. Uh, I want to say thank you to, uh, oh, Radian, much appreciate your generosity and your support for the channel. I'm very, very grateful to you for that. And the, uh, It was another individual who bought me couples of teas, and I don't see the record here for that. So my sincere apologies, I don't see it here. So anyway, I hope, uh, I hope you guys enjoyed it, and I look forward to seeing you next time. Uh, and again, it's going to take me a few days before I'll do this, and, uh, hope you, you I hope it'll be okay. So let me, let me just see because I, I want to, I want to say thank you to this person here. Uh, yeah, it's the SiriCom, SiriCom 8362. Thank you so much for buying me cups of teas in support of my upcoming Asia trip. I truly, truly appreciate you for that. I hope you guys have a peaceful and enjoyable weekend. And I look forward to seeing you next time. As always, remember, geopolitics impacts your daily life in more ways than one. Till next time, bye-bye.
