Chapter 1: What led to Donald Trump's panic over negotiations with Iran?
Donald Trump is panicking as the full consequences of his failed negotiations with Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan are setting in. As you are now aware, the Trump regime negotiators J.D. Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, at Donald Trump's orders, tried to change the pre-approved negotiating framework that was based on a 10-point plan
that Iran made Donald Trump agree to before a ceasefire was announced. Donald Trump agreed to the 10-point plan, but then the Trump regime tried to bully and dictate the settlement terms at the Islamabad talks. Iran refused to accept those terms because Iran said, we agreed on the 10-point plan. The negotiations fell apart after about 20 hours of purported negotiations.
And now Donald Trump is posting that he will be doing a full United States naval blockade of the Persian Gulf, which he says he will block all tankers from every country from going into the Persian Gulf in order to bring back crude oil to their country. So Donald Trump's plan to open up the Strait of Hormuz
is to further block the Strait of Hormuz right now by doing a blockade, because as you may be aware, Iran is conducting bilateral discussions with countries across the world to allow allies or even neutral countries to use the Strait of Hormuz at a cost of about $2 million per tanker. And some countries that are allied with Iran don't have to pay that fee.
So, for example, China and Russia, they have access to the Strait of Hormuz. India, France, numerous other countries, Pakistan, other countries have been able to utilize the Strait of Hormuz by negotiating specific deals with Iran. And now Donald Trump saying any of those ships, we will interdict or we will what?
We're going to attack those ships because the United States will be doing a full naval blockade of
uh the persian gulf uh donald trump posted the following message so there you have it the meeting went well most points were agreed to but the only point that really mattered nuclear was not effective immediately the united states navy the finest in the world will begin the process of blockading any and all ships trying to enter or leave the strait of hormuz at some point we will reach an
all being allowed to go in, all being allowed to go out basis. But Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying there may be a mine out there somewhere that nobody knows about but them. This is world extortion and leaders of countries, especially the United States, will never be extorted. The Trump regime says that as they were imposing extortion terms on Iran after agreeing to Iran's
10-point negotiating framework and the bad faith that was exhibited in Islamabad by the United States and Donald Trump is similar to what has happened before in late February and then back in June in negotiations with Iran. Donald Trump then posted

Chapter 2: Why did Iran reject Trump's negotiating terms?
Donald Trump then called into state regime media, which calls itself Fox, Maria Bartiromo, who was the host of the show that he called into. I mean, she was looking at him, frankly, like he was somebody who was like really suffering almost in like hospice care. And she was looking at him like, oh my God, this guy is really like just totally lost it. And she says, is this going to be enough?
The blockade? Is this going to be enough? Listen to what Donald Trump says. Here, play this clip.
I got it ended because of tariffs. which the Supreme Court was not nice to me about.
Chapter 3: What is Trump's plan for a naval blockade of the Persian Gulf?
Is this all going to be enough, the blockade in the Strait, the opening up capacity in the United States? Is this going to be enough to lower the price of oil and gas, sir?
Well, eventually it's going to be lowered. No, it might not happen initially, but it's going to go down. When this is all over, look, the stock market, the Dow hit 50,000. It was supposed to be in four or five years. They said it won't happen during his term. but it'll be maybe four or five years. It hit 50,000 in my first year. You know it better than anybody. You cover it better than anybody.
The S&P, it- Then she asks him, so do you believe that the price of oil and gas will be lower before the midterms? Listen to what he says here. Play this clip.
So do you believe the price of oil and gas will be lower before the midterm elections?
I hope so. I mean, I think so. It could be. It could be the same or maybe a little bit higher, but it should be around the same. I think this won't be that much longer. They're wiped out. They're wiped out. And you don't get the you don't get a fair shake. You don't get you know, we need we need a free and fair press in this country. And I don't even know why people would do that.
Why would they say how wonderful they're doing militarily? They're doing so well. They're totally what the country is wiped out.
And then he said that I was thinking about calling it the Gulf of Trump. My new plan, maybe I'll call the Persian Gulf the Gulf of Trump. I mean, this is what he's saying right now as he's threatened a naval blockade.
And by the way, senior officials say the blockade, they claim that the blockade is going to be taking place and that Navy is sending its assets and CENTCOM will be sending assets to blockade it. But Trump's talking about also changing the name to the Gulf of Trump. Let's play this clip.
I was thinking about calling it the Gulf of Trump, and I decided not to do it. I think maybe it was a wise. I think that one maybe wouldn't have worked out. I'm not so sure. You'll have to tell me. But I was thinking about it's going to be called the Gulf of Trump. And then I said, you know, that's not going to play too well. I think you're... You know I'm kidding. You're being facetious.

Chapter 4: How are other countries reacting to Trump's blockade threat?
I mean, yet another humiliation ritual. We sent our Navy destroyers to the Strait of Hormuz. The Iran Navy stopped it and said, we will fire upon you if you don't turn around.
and the once very powerful United States Navy just turned itself around and did not go through the Strait of Hormuz, did not run any missions, yet CENTCOM, which once was CENTCOM, I mean, it had a ton of credibility, just lied and said that it's a successful mission. Well, now there's video of what went down.
Iranian television released footage from yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz, where the naval forces, which yes, they still exist despite Donald Trump claiming they don't,
the naval forces of the iranian revolutionary guard warned a u.s warship stay away from the strait or we will be shooting and blowing you up and then the u.s ship turns around and goes the other way and yes donald trump and centcom lied about what happened as we told you they were they were play this clip navy warship one two one this is sepanavia station you must alter course and go back to the indian ocean immediately
If you don't obey my order, you will be targeted. Out. This is Coalition Warship 121. Engage in transit passage in accordance with international law. No challenges attended to you. U.S. Navy warship transiting in the vicinity of Fujairah Port and Oman Sea. This is Sepah Navy. This is Sepah Navy. Last warning. Last warning. Last warning. Attention all vessels. Attention all vessels.
Attention all vessels in Oman Sea. This is Iranian Sepah Navy. If you see any warships in your vicinity, keep a distance more than 10 miles from them because I am ready to open fire on them without any warning.
You also have Iranian social media continuing to mock the Trump regime. Their social media accounts are posting things like this. Every Gulf has a name like the Gulf of Mexico and of course the Persian Gulf. Before Islamabad, we made clear, zero trust. We are ready for whatever comes next. And they show this photo and it's Donald Trump with the shadow of Netanyahu in the Oval Office.
True peace requires confronting the shadows governing the White House. By the way, while the critical negotiations were taking place regarding the ceasefire in Islamabad, Pakistan, when Trump sent Witkoff and JD Vance, Witkoff and Kushner to negotiate with the Iranians, what was Donald Trump doing? Donald Trump was at the UFC fight.
I did a video this morning which showed that Dana White had to hold Donald Trump's hand because Trump's physically and mentally deteriorating so quickly. But then Donald Trump went up to one of the UFC fighters during the fight and said how handsome he was. Like Trump was like hitting on the UFC fighter. I just want you to try to wrap your head around this, right?

Chapter 5: What did Trump say during his call with Fox News?
And here's what he basically notes about all of this. The escalation now appears increasingly unavoidable, especially as Trump significantly raises the stakes with the blockade. Iran is unlikely to back down. It will likely test U.S. resolve by targeting American naval assets while also attempting to disrupt commercial shipping
through the Strait of Hormuz or deter tankers from transiting altogether. Such developments almost certainly trigger a sharp spike in global oil prices with cascading second and third order effects, particularly across Asian economies that rely heavily on Gulf energy flows. At the same time, Iran will aim to project resilience and avoid appearing to capitulate under pressure.
Further escalation would increase the likelihood of Houthi action in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea. potentially threatening another critical maritime choke point. It would also raise the risk of Iranian strikes against infrastructure designed to bypass Hormuz, including pipelines such as the East-West Corridor.
While Iran would sustain significant damage, it will attempt to maintain oil exports through alternative routes like the JASC terminal, calculating the Gulf states may ultimately suffer greater economic harm In any case, this is not a scenario with a clear winner, only varying degrees of losers. Although I would argue that Iran, China, and Russia are winners in all of this.
China being the biggest, Russia being the second, the US and NATO being the big losers in all of this. We'll keep you posted every step of the way, but that's what's happening this morning. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers.
