Chapter 1: What triggered Donald Trump's loss of control on the world stage?
All hell is breaking loose as Donald Trump has caused the entire world essentially to turn against the United States very, very quickly. What you just saw there at the beginning of this video was Iran launching its 80th wave of strikes on US bases and infrastructure and at Israel. Since this war has begun, Iran has shown no signs of slowing down its strikes.
As Donald Trump is out there saying he's ready to do a 30-day ceasefire and he's ready to do a deal with Iran, the Iranian military leadership is responding, mocking Donald Trump and mocking the United States, essentially. It is deeply, deeply embarrassing. I'll get to that in a moment.
Equally embarrassing to have French military leaders like France's army chief, Fabien Mondon, warning that the United States is becoming increasingly unpredictable, affecting France's security interests. We were surprised. by an American ally who's becoming increasingly unpredictable and doesn't even bother to inform us when they launch military operations.
That's France's army chief right there. Or listen to what Turkish President Erdogan is saying on Iran. He says, although the war is Israel's war, the whole world is paying the price. The war is Netanyahu's war for political survival, but 8 billion people are suffering the consequences. And from people in Iraq, to Turkey, to Pakistan, to Lebanon, to Egypt.
And within Arab nations, people are speaking out against the United States, especially as the United States security umbrella is demonstrating that it ain't providing security. All the pay-for-play schemes are funneling money to Trump and his family. Trump has demonstrated not just that he's a paper tiger, but that he is weak and pathetic and just lies all of the time about everything.
I mean, think about Qatar.

Chapter 2: How is Iran responding to U.S. military actions?
They bought Donald Trump his own jet, his own private jet they gave him, right? They were expecting in return that Donald Trump would help, but instead, Qatar Energy has now declared a force majeure on their additional liquefied natural gas contracts, by the way. It's going to impact Taiwan and others running out of LNG. Qatar provided about 20% of the LNG to the world.
We can't get it right now. And so state-owned Qatar Energy has declared force majeure on several long-term gas supply contracts with buyers in Italy, Belgium, South Korea, and China, citing major disruptions to its LNG export capacity. Just so you know, a force majeure means that there is this force of God that we can't follow through on our contracts.
So we're breaking our contracts as permitted by a force majeure, this act of God, if you will. The move allows the company to suspend its deliveries without being found in breach. The disruptions are linked to the damage caused to it when Iran struck it after the U.S. and Israel struck the Iranian South Pars facility, which is connected to the northern part facilities of Qatar.
Now, as I mentioned before, you have Iran responding to Donald Trump saying that, oh, we're involved in this negotiation and that negotiation. You have the spokesperson for the Iranian military saying the following, Our position from day one has been clear and remains unchanged. Someone like us will never come to terms with someone like you, not now, not ever.
Have your internal conflicts reached the point where you, referring to Donald Trump and the United States, that you're now negotiating with yourselves? Don't call your defeat an agreement. You will see neither your investments in the region nor previous energy and oil prices return. Until it is our will, nothing will return to how it was.
That will only happen when the idea of acting against the Iranian people is completely erased from your minds. Earlier this morning, I did a video on what Iran has said its non-negotiables are. It listed its demand. The Trump regime called it laughable.
So anytime Donald Trump and his deranged regime are out there saying, oh, we've got a deal in principle with Iran, or they're agreeing to this, or we think we're very close to a 30-day ceasefire, it is all a lie. That's why I'm reading to you what they're saying in Iran right now and what they're saying, what Trump's regime is saying, what the Iranian regime is saying, okay?
Everything that Trump is saying about that is a complete and utter lie. Just take a look at what's happening, by the way, in Baghdad, in Iraq, as the war spreads there. So in Baghdad, the government there in Baghdad has cleared the PMF to defend itself after deadly strikes on a militia headquarters.
Iraq's National Security Council has authorized the Popular Mobilization Forces, PMF, to respond to U.S. attacks under the right to self-defense, according to Mayor News, Tehran's regime media.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Trump's proposed ceasefire with Iran?
This decision follows airstrikes on a PMF command headquarters. in Anbar Province in Western Iraq, killing at least 15 fighters, including senior commander Saeed al-Baji, and wounding about 30. The PMF is a state-backed network of militias integrated into Iraq's security forces, accused the U.S. of carrying out the strike. It came a day after a reported 24-hour ceasefire between U.S.
forces and the Iraqi resistance factions. The prime minister's office said Iraq will summon the U.S. ambassador, essentially, in protest, calling the strike a breach of sovereignty. So let me be clear what just happened there. The Iraqi government is basically saying that its Shiite militias can go and attack the United States. And the question is, are they doing that or is that just a bluff?
They're doing it. Let me just read this to you as well. The Iraqi National Security Council has said it has agreed to confront and respond to military attacks after a series of deadly US airstrikes targeting the popular mobilization forces in the country. The PMF and Iranian-aligned militias have carried out a series of operations inside Iraq since the start of the war in Iran.
The PMF was founded during the war against ISIS and is linked to the government. In sum, this could bring the U.S. back to war with Iraq. Back to war with Iraq. And if you're like, well, what are they really going to do? Take a look right here. This is what they've done in the past 24 hours.
Iranian-backed groups in Iraq released footage, I'll show you right here, of FPV drones targeting Camp Victoria's base in Baghdad, Iraq. Look at the AN-MPQ-64 radar, can be seen being hit in the footage while the second drone seemingly targets two UH-60 Black Hawk choppers. You'll see it. And the drones that are being used by these Iranian-backed groups
They, they're just, they're just flying around taunting and they have it on. Can you, do you see what they're doing on camera? And I'm not going to play them. I'm not going to play the music, but then they make hype videos of it. And they're showing that at will, they can destroy anything they want. Essentially right there, there was nothing shooting it down. There was nothing going against.
I mean, you see for yourself, what's going on right there.

Now, you have the president of Iran, Massoud Pazeshkian, who's been speaking with the prime minister of India, the prime minister of Pakistan, and others. Here was his message yesterday. Today, we are witnessing the awakening of the people in many countries around the world.
The people of Pakistan, Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt, and Arab countries are loudly expressing their disgust for America, Israel, and their crimes. The hearts of the free people of the world are not with the Zionists. Stability in the region is possible only through cooperation and respect for the will of the nations." Now, why am I reading this to you? Why am I sharing this to you?
Because Donald Trump's spreading the propaganda out here that We have this peace deal that's basically reached with Iran and everything is great. And they're speaking with this guy, Ghalibaf. And we are so close to, we're so close to a deal and a 30-day ceasefire. And what Donald Trump say yesterday, that they've offered Donald Trump a prize. They've given him a gift. They've given him a present.

Chapter 5: How is the war affecting global energy markets?
So you see the Marine Expeditionaries and a lot of the military leaving. They're heading to the Middle East right now. And you have this cascading horrors of events happening right after, you know, one after another right now. Let me read this to you as well, because I think as Dina Esfandari explains, some in the Gulf area are asking themselves about the value of their relationship with the U.S.
now as a result of the Iran war. This was inevitable the minute Trump did something that was going to have blowback on them first. As Naif Nahar writes, today, Trump postponed striking Iran's energy infrastructure, this was two days ago, out of fear of fluctuations in U.S. market prices.
Yet for over 20 days, he has watched Gulf societies come under Iranian missile strikes as Gulf economies incur tens of billions of dollars in damages without this prompting any change in his decisions. When the Qatari Minister of Energy warned his American counterpart that striking Iran's gas fields would inevitably trigger retaliatory strikes against gas fields in the Gulf, he was disregarded.
They attacked Iran anyway, leaving the Gulf states to face their fate alone against Iranian missiles. Striking Iran's gas fields did not create any strategic advantage, but rather inflictive massive losses upon the Gulf's energy sector, which ultimately benefits American gas companies. Trump only speaks about the Strait of Hormuz or the price of oil.
In his eyes, the Gulf societies are barely worth a single barrel of crude. While that's going on, you have Iran trying to make a pitch to the Gulf nations saying, now's the time to unite. Now's the time to join. We need you now more than ever. And let's be clear, it is propaganda. Yes, in war, there is propaganda. And in peace, sadly, there is propaganda. And we try to cut through it.
We try to give the true story. But part of war... is also winning a communications battle, right? So yesterday, when you have Pete Hegseth, I don't even want to play his clips because it makes me vomit. When he was giving the press conference and he goes, I negotiate with bombs. I put my hand on the throttle and go hard. And it's like, we, these are direct quotes. I'm not Exaggerating this.
And he does like the karate chops with his hand. We loiter over the skies of Iran waiting for the order to rain down death. Right? You have him saying all of those things. And Iran is like, okay, this is what you're doing? Okay. Thank you for writing the propaganda for us. We're going to take that and we're going to tell the people and other Arab nations.
So here's what the United States is saying. Here's what Netanyahu is saying. Here's what they're doing. What do you think about that? And Iran is using that to say, look, this is a deranged and demented regime in the United States led by Donald Trump and you've been betrayed. That's their message.
And Donald Trump's out there saying, I've been given gifts and presents from Iran, but if you don't give me any more gifts, I will gladly bomb your infrastructure. The war crimes. You're saying it out loud, too. You're just saying you're going to do war crimes. And you're doing the war crimes. And you and Netanyahu are doing the war crimes. We can see what's happening in Lebanon.
