What events led to Donald Trump's panic regarding Iran?
Donald Trump is panicking as this war against Iran, which never had a plan, is spiraling out of control after news broke that Iran is selecting a new Ayatollah, the old Ayatollah's son, Manjaba, who is in many ways even more extreme than the old Ayatollah. Donald Trump gave an eight-minute interview just now to Axios where Donald Trump says it is unacceptable that Iran has selected the Ayatollah's son, Manjaba, to be the Ayatollah. Donald Trump says that any selection of Iranians' new Ayatollah must be made by Donald Trump. Trump says they are wasting their time. Khomeini's son is a lightweight, Donald Trump says. I have to be involved in this appointment. just like I did with Delcy Rodriguez in Venezuela.
And Khomeini's son is unacceptable to me. We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran. Sure, Donald, I think that the 300 million Shiites who are even more radicalized right now in the region because of you and your behavior and killing the old Ayatollah are like, you know, who we want right now? We want anyone who's picked by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. I mean, do you realize that when you make statements like that, you're causing far more problems as well for the United States and other nations in that region? By the way, those other nations in the region still under attack by Iran. Explosions are now heard in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates amidst a new wave of ballistic missile and drone strikes.
You have footage over here of two Iranian ballistic missiles slamming into Bahrain's Petroleum Company refinery. Here's footage showing the impact of the Iranian ballistic missiles in Bahrain amidst this new wave of Iranian drone and ballistic missile strikes. And you can see the several large fires at the Bahrain missile. a petroleum company right there. Here's some additional footage showing Iranian ballistic missiles at high altitude over Jordan. In the past 12 hours or so, it's believed that Iran attacked the Azerbaijan airport as well.
What did Trump say about the new Ayatollah selection in Iran?
Another Ayatollah in Iran, one of their most senior clerics, Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, just declared that the nation was on the verge of a great test and urged the shedding of Zionist blood and the shedding of Trump's blood on state television. while Iran's foreign minister, Argechi, has announced or has stated, Iran is not agreeing to a ceasefire. Stop putting out false information. Iran is not entering into a ceasefire. Also, Argechi and others are calling out the Trump regime's submarine attack using torpedoes off the coast of Sri Lanka, where the U.S. sunk and... what appeared to be an unarmed Iranian naval ship that was doing joint exercises or a parade, rather, inside India, and that the United States knew about this parade because the U.S.
Navy was invited as well, but declined. And as part of the requirements to participate in this parade in India, Modi made it clear that Iran... that the ship couldn't be armed. And then the U.S. struck that ship. It's called the Denna, killing potentially 100 people aboard that ship. And so lots of people calling out the United States for that. But the United States says that's fair target when it comes to war. Also, we're hearing more reports kind of confirming exactly what I was saying yesterday about the Kurds. Donald Trump is trying to coerce and threaten the Kurds to do a ground invasion of Iran. To be clear, when we talk about Kurds, there's lots of different Kurdish groups. So it's not like which Kurdish group are you referring to?
I don't think Donald Trump realizes the Kurdish groups all throughout that region, and they're not necessarily all sharing the exact same ideas. But Donald Trump apparently is giving the Kurds an ultimatum. You're either with Iran or you're with us. You need to do a ground invasion. The Kurds like, yeah, we don't want to do a ground invasion of Iran. Trump, you betray us over and over again. You betrayed us during your first administration. You betrayed us during this regime recently in Syria. So, yeah, we're not doing that ground invasion because you're just going to throw us under the bus again.
