Chapter 1: What critical error did Trump make in the Iran negotiations?

0.031 - 20.706 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump is panicking as he has made yet another fatal error in the war against Iran, his catastrophic and unlawful war against Iran. He once again blinked and unilaterally extended the ceasefire deadline without Iran even agreeing to it.

20.686 - 39.808 Ben Meiselas

Iran said it would not participate in any negotiations with Donald Trump in Pakistan so long as Donald Trump maintained a naval blockade and continued to threaten Iran as the ceasefire deadline was about to expire after Donald Trump was saying all day when he called in to CNBC

and other stenographer media entities trump was saying i don't want the ceasefire anymore i'm ready to bomb i'm going to show how tough i am we're going to obliterate them and then donald trump said i'm actually going to extend uh unilaterally the deadline of the ceasefire indefinitely and so i guess we'll just figure it out now the wall street journal the wall street journal a murdoch paper had the following headline in its opinion section the iranians take trump for a sucker

68.662 - 96.508 Ben Meiselas

How many times do they expect him to play this game before they reopen the strait of Hormuz that they view Donald Trump as a sucker? Now, remember when Donald Trump would post things like this back in 2013? This is a real post from Donald Trump, November 25th, 2013. The worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it. Well, Donald, you reek of desperation. You reek

96.488 - 119.931 Ben Meiselas

of weakness. And the Iranians see how weak you are. Donald Trump posted this message as he was ranting and raving like a lunatic after making another fatal error of unilaterally extending the ceasefire after threatening that he would rain down hell if Iran didn't negotiate. Iran's like, yeah, we're not negotiating with you. And Iran just essentially ignored him.

119.911 - 144.731 Ben Meiselas

here's what trump writes the wall street journal has lost its way an idiot on the wall street journal's editorial board named elliot kaufman wrote an op-ed entitled the iranians take trump for a sucker really for 47 years they've killed our people and many others Then Donald Trump's like, I obliterated them. They're losing $500 million a day, and you think that I'm a sucker?

145.032 - 149.477 Ben Meiselas

You're writing about me being taken for a sucker? Iran certainly doesn't think so.

Chapter 2: Why did Iran refuse to negotiate with Trump?

149.837 - 172.323 Ben Meiselas

Neither does anyone else. I guess Rupert Murdoch told him to write it that way because the Wall Street Journal has lost its way. They're literally making AI videos of you running around with chickens in Iran right now. That's what they're doing right now. They're doing chicken videos of you. You want to see what Tehran Square looks like? You want to see if they think you're a sucker?

0

172.644 - 202.416 Ben Meiselas

In Tehran Square last night, they had the people gathered there showing off their ballistic missiles, mocking you. This was Tehran Square last night. Play this clip. And here's what the Iranian media companies are saying publicly. Here's Iran's official Islamic Republic of Iran broadcast network. Iran rejected the US conditions for negotiations. Trump unilaterally extended the ceasefire.

0

202.857 - 224.665 Ben Meiselas

Trump said that at the request of Pakistan's army chief, the ceasefire would remain in place until Iran presents a new proposal. Iran's message is clear and explicit. Never negotiate under the shadow of threats. And then Iran's social media reposted this. You can't demand negotiations while holding a gun to the table. That's not diplomacy, it's coercion.

Chapter 3: How did Trump's actions affect the ceasefire with Iran?

225.066 - 235.491 Ben Meiselas

Trump's trying to avoid a war without looking like he avoided one. Here's what Donald Trump leaked to state regime media with Sean Hannity. Play this clip.

0

238.103 - 258.737 Sean Hannity

And welcome to Hannity. Tonight, we start with this Fox News alert. Now, new reporting tonight, sources telling me that the ceasefire extension in Iran announced by the president, that will be short-lived unless a deal is reached quickly. Now, earlier today, the president announced that American strikes will not yet resume and he will allow peace negotiations to continue.

0

258.757 - 268.617 Sean Hannity

According to my sources, mostly this was out of respect for the Pakistani mediators and as a final push for peace for the war-torn Iranian people.

0

268.917 - 296.868 Ben Meiselas

But here's how CNN discussed what went down as basically Iran ghosted J.D. Vance and Donald Trump. And Trump and Vance and Hegseth and Witkoff and Kushner were so thirsty to try to get Iran to like make a deal after threatening Iran. Iran's just like, we are ignoring you. We're not responding. Iran's not even responding. Just think about that. That's how pathetic Iran views Trump.

0

296.888 - 306.161 Ben Meiselas

And they're like, why would we respond to you? If we respond to you, you're just gonna misrepresent what we say. Here's how CNN reported what went down from their sources. Play this clip.

306.181 - 321.722 Unknown

Air Force Two was sitting on the tarmac in Joint Base Andrews, and the administration was deciding, should the vice president, J.D. Vance, board his plane and head to Pakistan for the next round of negotiations with the Iranians, as was when he was there just a few weeks ago, as you can see here,

321.702 - 340.528 Unknown

But today, the administration was dealing with an issue, virtual silence that they were getting from the Iranians. I've learned that in recent days, the United States has sent Iran a list of broad points that they wanted them to agree to in advance of the next round of talks, of JD Vance getting on Air Force Two and going back to Islamabad.

341.189 - 360.738 Unknown

But days went by without the United States getting a response, raising questions and suspicions about whether or not much could be achieved in person. Officials had urged the top mediator from Pakistan to get at least some kind of response from Iran before the vice president boarded his flight. But still, hours later, an official tells me there was nothing.

361.519 - 377.494 Unknown

That radio silence is a far cry, though, from the confidence that we had heard coming from President Trump just a few days ago on Iran. This process should go very quickly and that most of the points are already negotiated and agreed to.

Chapter 4: What does Iran's social media response reveal about their stance?

496.542 - 515.468 Ben Meiselas

They see you tacoing and you... backing down every time a ceasefire deadline's about to hit. You doing the blockade is making things worse. So what does Donald Trump do in response to Iran's ambassador saying, we can negotiate, can you remove the naval blockade? Trump's post is, Iran doesn't want the Strait of Hormuz closed.

0

515.508 - 534.456 Ben Meiselas

They want it open so they can make $500 million a day, which is therefore what they are losing if it's closed. They only say they want it closed because I have it totally blockaded, closed. So they merely want to save face. People approached me for days ago saying, sir, Iran wants to open up the strait immediately.

0

534.797 - 557.226 Ben Meiselas

But if we do that, there can never be a deal with Iran unless we blow up the rest of their country. Their leaders included Donald J. Trump. If idiot, if you want to negotiate with the Iranians. You can't threaten to kill the negotiators. And you can't keep bragging about the blockade and having them save face. You're the one who needs to save face, okay?

0

557.566 - 577.288 Ben Meiselas

You're the one who said you would do regime change. You would obliterate them. The people would greet you as a conquering hero. You and Netanyahu, that's what you said. That's what you said was going to happen. That didn't happen. So you need to save face right now and either make a deal with them or if you want to go to war, That's an option. You're going to kill lots of soldiers.

577.628 - 600.947 Ben Meiselas

You're going to create a Great Depression. But if you want to make a freaking decision, you loser. Make a decision, you loser. And that's how Iran sees it, that you're a loser. Negotiator, just shut up. Stop with these stupid idiot posts, man. It's ridiculous. Grow up. Grow up, act like a grown-up. Man, what are you doing? Then Donald Trump posts, Iran is collapsing financially.

601.328 - 623.874 Ben Meiselas

They want the Strait of Hormuz. Oh, it's all nice posting stuff like this. Starving for cash. Losing $500 million a day. Military and police complaining that they're not getting paid. SOS, SOS, excuse me. This is not what's going to motivate them. I don't know what you think this is. If this is like a Rambo movie or some like C-list movie that you've seen, this is real life, Donald.

624.415 - 646.361 Ben Meiselas

Okay, this stuff isn't working. You're further entrenching their leadership is what you're doing. They're not gonna all of a sudden, oh, Donald wrote a nasty tweet. Oh my God, please no more nasty tweets. If he keeps doing nasty tweets, he's gonna keep extending the ceasefire deadline. You're the one who keeps on extending, not them. They didn't blink for a moment. You keep on blinking.

646.421 - 668.487 Ben Meiselas

It's so embarrassing right now to be an American under this weak, pathetic regime. Treasury Secretary Besson goes, as Donald Trump has made clear, the United States will continue the blockade of Iranian ports. In a matter of days, Karg Island storage will be full. Okay, you're not gonna get a deal with Iran by keeping the blockade. How many times do we need to say this?

668.467 - 686.894 Ben Meiselas

When you went to war and you invaded them and you did start bombing it, that didn't make them submit. You think the blockade is going to make them go, please, Donald, please. No. At some point, it's going to lead to further escalation. That's all that's going to happen is that you're going to turn this into a hot war again. And meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
