The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

US interest chips and Western affiliated ships that have been stuck in the Strait of Hormuz. Despite Donald Trump saying earlier, we've got out 100 million barrels or whatever the hell he said that

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

despite the lies about we've been getting all these ships out of the blockade, and that Iran's navy has been destroyed. No, those ships are in the strait, and Iran has its fast boats, and it can go to those ships right now, pick them off pretty easily, pretty easily. And Iran activates the Houthis, and they shut down the Bab al-Mandab strait.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

Straight of Hormuz, Persian Gulf shutdown, Bab al-Mandab straight shutdown. That's where I think we'll be going. U.S. airstrikes have now hit the South Pars gas complex in Asula and Bashir province. So remember that South Pars gas complex that Iran rebuilt?

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

And then remember Iran struck North Pars, Qatar. Well, now we're seeing the US strike the infrastructure of Iran.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

josta tiedämme, että Iran laittaa infrastruktuurin kaikkiin Middle Eastin valtioihin. Tässä on se, johon tämä tulee menemään, kaverit, ja olemme pysyneet sinut laittamassa kaikkien asioiden kautta täällä. Se on huomattavaa, että Israel sanoo, että Israel ei ole nykyään osallistunut alkuperäisille USA-laitteille.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

against targets in Iran, officials tell Khan News. I'm not believing this, it's just interesting that they would put out, that Israeli officials would put out a statement like, we're not involved in this after...

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

Trumpi sanoo, että minä pidän kaikki kartteet ja kerron Netanyahuun, mitä hän tekee. Se on niin mielenkiintoista, että he ainakin publiciteerivät, että siellä ei ole linkkiä. Tietysti tiedämme, että siellä on linkki. Mitä voimme odottaa ensi kuukaudella, kaksi kuukautta, viiden kuukaudella? Mitä katsomme?

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

We're looking at Iran's retaliation. As I noted, Fars, Iran's state media, reports that Iranian forces will be going after these American ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Knocking them out. Disabling them for good. It's one of the first things they're going to be doing. Bob Al-Mandab, Strait, Red Sea, activate the Houthis. I think it's a fair prediction to make right now. Shut it down.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

or create the circumstances that instill fear that the Houthis will be able to shut it down the way the Strait of Hormuz is shut down. Right? So then you'll have both waterways shut. Oil. I mean, I expect 15%, 20%, 30% increases pretty soon.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

Tietysti inflatsio, mutta yksinkertaisesti kysymys tässä on, mitä me teemme? Mitä me teemme? Oletko todellisesti uskonut, että näiden tukien tekeminen tarkoittaa Iranin, että haluaisi keskustella sinne? Oletko uskonut, että se on se, miten keskustelu toimii?

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

You start punching somebody in the face and now you want to negotiate? You want to negotiate the terms of Iran's surrender, not a good faith negotiation that involves compromise. And based on the way the war has gone and frankly will continue to go unless and until the U.S. decides that it will do a mass invasion, which will be the worst possible outcome.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

with a ground invasion and if the US will have to commit, if it truly wants regime change and to take over Iran, let me be very clear, I don't want this to happen. And I think it would backfire and I think it would result in the deaths of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of American troops. And

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

A lot of innocent Iranians being killed, and Iranians being killed in general. And we'll see, and there'll be more. So I don't want this to happen. But if you speak to any military expert, or even people who pretend to be military experts, because they write a book about military expertise, okay?

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

They'll tell you you're not able to accomplish regime change in Iran with airstrikes. And that's not going to encourage the regime in Iran to negotiate with the Trump regime at all. It will have the opposite effect, since it will show that no matter what, you view negotiations purely as a tool of subterfuge to achieve that which you couldn't during a war.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

And so if you were committed and your goal was actual regime change, what you would need to do is you would probably do what Putin is doing in Ukraine. And it would probably have the same outcome.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

Fascinating that the minds, Trump and Putin mind would think like this, but it would have the same outcome. You would be sending 30,000 to 50,000 American soldiers to their death through a meat grinder every month, what we're seeing in Ukraine with Russian troops and Ukrainian troops who are getting killed. That's what you would see happen. But the only way any military tactician will tell you

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

that you can actually change the dynamic would have to be with a massive invasion. And you also now underestimate the fact that the people of Iran are actually more united against the United States and especially Israel, but the United States as well, especially US, than ever before.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

And that where there were signs of the Islamic Republic potentially having cracks in January, when Trump said, we will be there to help you, and then didn't, you have a very different dynamic in June. Go out and look at Tehran Square on a nightly basis.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

where they're on their 104th day of celebrations, celebrating what they believe is a victory against the United States. The Iranian football team that's here has the pin 168 for the little girls who were killed in Manab.

The MeidasTouch Podcast
U.S. Strikes Iran

The war crimes that the US engaged in. And then you have the head of Palantir with the audacity, with the audacity to say, you know, we've never seen more precise attacks using AI than we have in this war. Killed 100, the United States engaged in a lot of war crimes. This is not going bombing them like this from air.
