What warning did Iran issue to vessels in the Strait of Hormuz?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump is quite literally losing it on the White House lawn right now as Iran issues another warning. An Iranian Revolutionary Guard core radio transmission warned all nearby vessels in the Strait of Hormuz maintain a 10 mile buffer from U.S. warships because, quote, we need to teach the Yankees a lesson. We will fire missiles and we will send our drones. If you are close to these American ships, quote, we need to teach the Yankees a lesson. Iran's Parliament National Security Commission chairman separately said we are not interested ever going to leave the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is more valuable to us than having a nuclear weapon. Mohammad Makbar, an advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, said on Friday that Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz is an asset on the scale of an atomic bomb, adding that Tehran would not give up the capability that it earned by winning the war.

And we're now seeing more video footage of Iran's retaliation against the United Arab Emirates that's coming in, that's being suppressed by American media as well as Middle East media. So take a look right here what it looks like in the Dubai airport area. after Iran responded to U.S. strikes on Kashem Port and Donald Trump's Project Freedom. You can see right there in the distance from the Dubai airport, the smoke plumes that are rising. Iran's also releasing additional video footage right now of the missile strikes from last night. I'll show you these missile strikes right here. Let's play it. And these are more missile strikes that have been, video of the missile strikes that have been released from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Also a source very close to the parliament leader, MB Ghalabaf, is posting the following strategic assessment. And I'm going to show you Trump's response in just a moment. So this basically a spokesperson for Ghalabaf says, strategic assessment. The U.S. Army failed last night for the second time in opening the Strait of Hormuz by military means. The US will continue this approach until early June. And during this period, tensions will steadily escalate. The Strait of Hormuz has now become the measure of defeat and victory in the war. Pause right there, which is interesting because before the war started, before Trump and Netanyahu's catastrophic invasion of Iran, the Strait of Hormuz was open. So now the only metric of is this war successful?
Ben Meiselas 3:00
Can we get to the status quo before the invasion of Iran? Also, this spokesperson for MB Galibov says, contrary to media assessments and statements by American officials in last night's attack, the first shot and operational initiative were in Iran's hands and the United States was merely in the position of reacting. The alert level for military conflict has indeed been raised. So let me take you to the White House lawn. This is what it looks like. I'm not showing you Mar-a-Lago right now. I'm showing you the White House lawn. This is what Donald Trump has done to the White House. And apparently he invited... families of people who died in wars. And Donald Trump starts to tell them, we stop transgender mutilization.
Ben Meiselas 3:51
With all of this going on, Trump holds a press conference. Just look what the White House looks like. Look how gaudy and gross it looks. And Trump says, we've saved your children from having their genitals cut off. This is Donald Trump's message right now to the families of military members who died in combat.

How does Iran view its control over the Strait of Hormuz?

really raising the future of our country. Then Donald Trump says to one of the mothers who lost a child in war, I heard from a list that I received that he was good, that your son was good. They give me these lists and they tell me your son was outstanding and I read the lists. Here, play this clip.
