Chapter 1: What recent events led to the escalation of conflict in Iran?
That was a residential building in Bahrain that was just hit moments ago by Iranian Shahed drones. The war that began with the United States and Israel engaging in preemptive strikes against Iran
is spreading throughout the region iran has engaged in retaliatory strikes against all neighboring countries other than oman as the foreign minister of oman was involved in the mediations between iran and the united states kuwait bahrain qatar united arab emirates saudi arabia iraq have all been hit by ballistic missile strikes or Shahid drones by Iran.
Some of those countries have been able to shoot down some of the retaliatory strikes. We also know as you look towards the east, Afghanistan is currently at war with Pakistan. Pakistan declared war and said Afghanistan is a colony of India that happened earlier in the week.
Chapter 2: How is Donald Trump's absence affecting the situation?
While all of this is going down, Donald Trump is MIA. By all accounts, he was supposed to address the nation this morning on Saturday. That would be, of course, in addition to that bizarre truth social, social media app video that he posted late last night where he talked about how, hey, he was wearing like a baseball cap And he was like, hey, you know, in wars, people die.
So, you know, our soldiers may die. And then he was like to the Iranian people, I guess this is what you wanted. So now go out and prove us right that if this is what you really wanted. What a deranged message that he sent last night. But he was supposed to speak this morning to address the nation, to address the United States. What the hell is going on here?
Normally, before wars, there's information, what's going on, because previously they said that this was about stopping Iran from enriching uranium. But then when Iran agreed through the Oman mediator to stop enriching uranium,
Chapter 3: What are the implications of the U.S. and Israel's military actions against Iran?
the United States. Actually, what we in Israel want is regime change and that this war against Iran is actually about regime change and the mission will be getting rid of the Ayatollah. Speaking of, as of the recording of this video, we don't know the status of the Ayatollah's condition. There's conflicting reports on the Israeli side. There's some suspicion that they may have been able to
Kill the Ayatollah. On the Iranian side, they're saying the Ayatollah is just fine. In any event, when our CIA assessed the situation and what military strikes could look like in the aftermath, they said even if you took out the Ayatollah, another hardliner would ultimately replace the Ayatollah, and you would just get another Ayatollah.
You would just get another version, if not a more extremist version.
Chapter 4: What is the current status of the Ayatollah amid the conflict?
So Donald Trump was supposed to give these Saturday morning remarks to the nation, but that got canceled. Now the White House, which lies about everything, is saying, no, we were never planning on doing that address at all. That's fake news. Why would the President of the United States address the nation when there is a war taking place between the country?
I don't know, it seems a reasonable thing to suspect that that's what the President of the United States should and would do, and that's what it was reported he was going to do, but that is not what ended up taking place. As of this recording, additional news to report.
The Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for about 20% of the share of global oil and gas supply, goes through that Strait of Hormuz. I have a map right here. where you can see it. The Strait of Hormuz appears to be closed by Iran.
Chapter 5: How are global oil supplies impacted by the conflict?
Again, there's a lot of conflicting reports here, so I'll always want to flag that when I do these updates. But there's audio out there that seems to suggest that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard are warning ships over the radio that no vessel is allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. And this is a major area
where exporters like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE, and Qatar depend on this single route to supply global markets. So this could have catastrophic economic impact, especially when the markets open on Monday. If that's the case, that was one of the fears that Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz in order to try to economically strangle the United States and its allies.
But we will keep you updated as we learn more there. Also, some horrific and tragic news already out of the war in Iran. The U.S. and Israeli airstrikes hit an elementary school, a girls' elementary school in Minab, Iran.
Chapter 6: What tragic consequences have resulted from the airstrikes in Iran?
The death toll is now 85. Mostly children, little girls were killed by the United States and the Israeli strikes. I'm going to share with you over here just what the image looks like outside.
of this elementary school in manab in iran and this is in the southern province of iran and absolutely absolutely horrific i'll show you some photos of it right here of the manab girls school again 84 that number is expected to rise even more but 84 little girls and perhaps some teachers dead as well here's the video right now that we're getting in here play this clip
Oh.
I'll show you this as B-roll. This is the video of the Palm Jumeirah being attacked by the Iranian Shahid drones right here. So the Palm Jumeirah, this is in Dubai, and this is right by the Jumeirah Beach Road area. This is the main tourist section of Dubai. And as I mentioned, I believe before, one of the nations that Iran is retaliating against
Chapter 7: What are the perspectives of Iranian officials regarding the strikes?
is the united arab emirates they are striking dubai they are striking abu dhabi but this particular area too for anyone who's visited dubai you know it very well the palm jumeirah this is the main tourist strip is now being hit by Iran. Going to Bahrain for a moment, I'll show you this naval facility right here. This is basically the United States' biggest naval facility in the region.
You'll see that one of the Shahi drones right here was able to do a direct strike at a radar facility controlled by the United States. Billion dollar radar systems right here that was just hit and destroyed by Iran.
Play this clip.
Now, it's an interesting site in the sense that you have obviously a lot of the pro-democracy Iranian supporters here. And our heart goes out to the Iranian people.
Chapter 8: How might the conflict influence future U.S. foreign policy?
I want to be very clear. While this war by Donald Trump and Netanyahu is clearly unlawful, is clearly unconstitutional, and it violates all international law. I still want to make sure I extend my heart out to the people of Iran right now, and of course to our troops as well. And the people of Iran have been living under a brutal, brutal regime there in Iran.
And they were betrayed by Donald Trump by last month when Trump said, go out and protest, we got your back.
and then 30 000 or so iranians were likely massacred we are seeing though iranian demonstrators protesting against the u.s israeli strikes on iran in the capital right now we have images from al jazeera showing you know at least this protest right here is an anti-us and an anti-israel protest That's currently underway in Iran. Let me give you additional data points.
Senator Mark Warner, who's the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, he's saying that there was no evidence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States. He said in an interview earlier today that he saw no evidence that Iran posed a direct threat.
After a classified briefing, he warned recent strikes could mark the start of an open-ended conflict and that war can spread as we're seeing it happen in the Middle East. While Donald Trump cites long-term missile risks, experts say any direct threat was still years away. And I showed you all the video of the Oman foreign minister who was negotiating between the U.S. and Iran, and he said,
Iran agreed to stop its enrichment. There were going to be more talks on Monday. They were in the middle of a diplomatic process. And that's when the US and Israel struck Iran in the middle of a diplomatic process where the foreign minister of Oman thought that there was a deal. I'll show you Iran's foreign minister, Araghchi, was just interviewed. He's around and alive right now.
And he claims that all high-ranking officials are alive. He says everything is fine. Obviously, take it with a grain of propaganda as well, as this is the image that You know, regimes project, but also you have the Trump Netanyahu regimes. You have the Ayatollah regimes. We have a lot of regimes who are just screwing up life.
Life for the people who just want to go on with our lives and live our lives in peace. But here's what the foreign minister of Iran said. Play this clip.
Fauci, I appreciate your comments there. And we do have a series of other questions I want to ask you. But just for clarity for our audience right now, can you confirm with specificity that the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is alive and separately that the Iranian president is alive right now following these American and Israeli strikes? As far as I know, yes, they are alive.
