What escalated tensions in the Middle East following Trump's announcement?
A sudden and massive escalation in Donald Trump's unlawful and catastrophic war in Iran. The Trump regime threatening to send a Navy forces into the Strait of Hormuz, which then leads to Iran striking nearby targets in the United Arab Emirates, the port of Fujairah, as well as two ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a UAE tanker, as well as a South Korean ship. uh donald trump then tries to say well you know those places have nothing to do with us anyway and uh i think the naval blockade is still working meanwhile there is a massive ramp up of uh military assets right now by the united states and israel in the middle east we're going to keep you posted on the developments there also pam bondy apparently trying to avoid having to sit for a deposition the trump regime's uh latest position working with james comer on the house oversight committee mega republican james colmer is that pam bondy will not sit for a deposition instead she will provide an interview and it's going to not be under oath and they don't want it to be
videotaped and they want to have a top DOJ official, Harmeet Dhillon, be the personal lawyer of Pam Bondi while she's the top DOJ lawyer. I mean, Harmeet Dhillon's like the number three person there.
How did Iran respond to U.S. military movements in the Strait of Hormuz?
And they're saying, well, because it's no longer a deposition and it's an informal interview, not on videotape, we think we can do this right now. I mean, folks, this is... Red flag city right here, we'll break that down. Also, we'll talk about Donald Trump and his regime trying to blame everyone but themselves for this horrible economy. As Spirit Airlines declared bankruptcy over this weekend, officially, the Trump regime rushed to blame Biden. You have the Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, blaming Biden for beef prices going up. I mean, it's just blame, blame, blame, blame, blame, the opposite of leadership. We'll talk about all of this and more in this episode of the Midas Touch podcast. I'm Ben Myselis, joined by Brett and Jordi.
We've got a lot to discuss. I mean, over the weekend, folks, Donald Trump announces on a social media post that American naval forces are going to be going into the Strait of Hormuz, escorting ships there. And then he says this is part of something called Project Freedom, which they announced last week, something by that name as well, which wasn't actually sending our Navy into the Strait of Hormuz. Right. It was working in a defensive way to just coordinate and provide information to like insurance companies that are insuring ships in the region. And So, but Trump said, we're escorting ships. And then so CENTCOM kind of had to like get behind that and said, yeah, that's what we're doing in a defensive way.
And, you know, it was just creating this escalatory ambiguity. And I think Iran saw certain ship movements from the United Arab Emirates, two ships, the South Korean ship and a UAE ship tried to test Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz. So Iran knocked out these two ships, which was initially denied by the Trump regime. Then I think there was an attempt by the U.S. to maybe bring some of its Navy ships in. Then Iran responded with warning strikes, and then the U.S. Navy ship pulled away. And then Iran hit UAE's Porta Fuggera, where there's like an oil pipeline there that was being used by the UAE to try to send oil around the blockade. And so we have a video of what it looked like right now, that Porta Fuggera.
So that's where we're at right now. And of course, we'll keep everybody posted as there are more developments happening. Trump's calling this a mini war and saying the blockade is the single greatest military maneuver in American history. That's what he told Fox. The single greatest military maneuver in American history, bro. Move over D-Day. Donald Trump has all the cards, and this blockade is the best military maneuver the world has ever seen, ever, ever, ever. Just a clown show, day in, day out, and it's so incredibly dangerous. First, I want to say, hey, what's up, brothers? What's up, Midas Mighty?
