Chapter 1: What threats did Trump make to Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz?
all hell is breaking loose now that Iran has rejected Donald Trump's 48-hour ultimatum, get out of the Strait of Hormuz, or else we are going to unleash an attack on Iran's energy infrastructure.
Iran responded, you do that, we're going after the energy infrastructure and other infrastructure of Arab nations that support the United States of America, to which Donald Trump is now escalating matters And according to sources in Israel, a ground invasion of Iran appears to be imminent with those marine expeditionary units that are on their way to the Middle East.
So let's talk about what's gone down. And we also need to talk about something that's not getting nearly enough attention, that the flow of LNG, liquefied natural gas, from the Gulf is expected to come to an abrupt end In the next 10 days, there will be no more LNG from the Middle East. That would be absolutely catastrophic. Let's talk about the sequence of events.
Donald Trump makes the ultimatum, all caps, social media post, abandon the Strait of Hormuz, Iran or else, to which Iran says, you can threaten us. We're not responding to threats anymore. And here's what Foreign Minister Araghchi of Iran writes. The head of Iran's parliament, M.B. Galibaf, writes... He also writes, He also writes, Those financial entities that finance the U.S.
military budget are legitimate targets.

Chapter 2: How did Iran respond to Trump's ultimatum?
U.S. treasury bonds are soaked in Iranians' blood. Purchase them and you purchase a strike on your headquarters and assets. We monitor your portfolios. This is your final notice. So we have these Marine Expeditionary Units that are headed right now to the Middle East, as Israeli officials have been telling their local media. And I've also told the Washington Post the Marines heading to Iran are
are not coming for decorations and Israel is supporting this ultimatum to attack the energy infrastructure and for this ground invasion to take place. The U.S. State Department then issued a worldwide caution to all Americans in the region. Groups supportive of Iran may target you if you are in this region. Exercise caution. All Americans in the Middle East are now potential targets
Chapter 3: What military actions are being planned against Iran?
Now, the Arab nations are now saying, we don't support any deal at all, Donald Trump, unless Iran is thoroughly destroyed. You can't leave this mess that you created until you fully defang Iran. You can't declare one of your fake taco Trump always chicken out victories and leave. We will never invest in the United States ever again if you do that.
Say goodbye to all of your financial interests from the Middle East. Say goodbye because you leave, you abandon us, we are done. So they're saying... You better go all in, invade, see this to the end. We support you taking out Iran. Anything else we can't support because look what you've created in the Strait of Hormuz. You've set our countries back 10, 20, 30 years.
So four senior Gulf officials are saying UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar are pressing for the war to continue until Iran's military capabilities are decisively weakened. The Times of Israel is reporting. Ending the war now with Iran still in possession of the tools it is currently using to target the Gulf countries would be a strategic disaster.
They are pushing Washington to keep striking, with others going further.
Chapter 4: What is the significance of the LNG flow from the Gulf?
A second official said Saudi Arabia and the UAE are even weighing whether to join U.S.-Israeli operations. But I think they want to see American Marines going first, die first for them first. before they consider joining this. The core demand is damage and degradation.
Officials say Iran's missile and drone production must be dismantled, saying that even if Tehran retains the know-how after the war, generational damage would be sufficient. Still, the Gulf is not fully aligned. Oman is calling for de-escalation, drop site reports. Officials say the UAE is driving the hardest line and others are less hawkish about how long the war should continue. Now,
Israel, of course, is saying we fully support these troops. Go in there, invade, take over the Karg Island. We've got your back. Now, Mideast Gulf oil producers are urging, as Bakar El Halabi explains, are urging the U.S. to address the disruption to oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz straight on, warning that interim measures will
such as tapping into Iran's so-called oil-on-water risk, strengthening Tehran's position while leaving regional producers exposed, senior Gulf officials say. And let's be clear, when they say tackle it head-on, they're saying regime change, take over Karg Island. They don't use those words. You've created this mess, you fix that.
The problem is that means that our brave soldiers, the men and women who are heading there, are risking their lives too.
And from all of the experts out there who have been reporting on what an invasion and occupation of Karg Island and Iran would look like, it would make the disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan look like peanuts compared to what would likely take place and the mass casualties our troops would face.
But I think it's important that you understand that this escalation is now coming from the fact that Donald Trump, in my opinion, has always been compromised based on his quid pro quos, emolument clause violations with the Middle East. Trump is now being pressured by these Middle East. We did pay for play. We've given you all of this. We've done all of this for your family.
Now you're just going to leave us to dry. You need to send these Marines in. Look what you've done to this region. We're going to screw you over and we're going to make sure you suffer if you don't send Marines. That is one of the big problems when the president puts his personal interests, in my opinion, above the interests of the country.
Now, the CEO of Saudi Arabia's Aramco, the world's largest oil company, abruptly withdrew from one of the biggest energy conferences, which was set to take place in Houston today, as the situation gets worse and worse and escalation heightens. The conference was set for today when Donald Trump's ultimatum expires.

Chapter 5: How are Arab nations reacting to the conflict with Iran?
We need your help. OK, well, then why didn't you and Donald Trump try to explain to them what the hell you were going to do before invading Iran and creating this crisis in the first place without doing it with our allies? Here's what Netanyahu said.
There are things they did. is they fired an intercontinental ballistic missiles 4,000 kilometers right into Diego Garcia, the American British base. They can reach now with these ballistic missiles everywhere in Europe, almost everywhere in Europe. I've been warning that for years.
The fourth thing that they did is that they shut down the important maritime strait of Hormuz, trying to blackmail the world with oil terror blackmail. Four things that they're doing in 48 hours. And I asked the leaders of the world, the leaders of the free world, the leaders of the moderate states, what more are you waiting for?
President Trump has correctly said that Israel, the United States and Israel in this great partnership, we're fighting the battle not only for ourselves, but for all of you. And he asked a simple question, where are you? And it's time to heed President Trump's call, his leadership and his vision to Not merely for our sake, but for your sake.
Now, remember when Donald Trump said, well... whatever, you know, a reform. And he's like, we didn't strike the energy infrastructure. Israel did. We had nothing to do with it. Well, here was Netanyahu yesterday saying, whatever we do, we do together. The U.S. and Israel are always on the same page of all strikes.
So remember when Donald Trump's like, we didn't know who did the South Pars energy facility destruction. We didn't do it. And then Iran retaliated by hitting the northern energy fields of Qatar and Basically, destroying what, 20, 30% of that facility, which is responsible for 20% of LNG, liquefied natural gas, and massive portions of that were destroyed. Well, anyway, here's what he says.
Whatever we do, we do together. Play this clip.
Overnight, President Trump said that if in 48 hours the Iranians don't open the Strait of Hormuz, that there will be strikes against the power grids in Iran. Will you participate in those strikes? And what do you think should happen next in this campaign?
I think President Trump knows exactly what he's doing. And whatever we do, we do together and as far as possible in confidence.
