Donald Trump is panicking as Iran is refusing to agree to any ceasefire with the United States. Donald Trump's war against Iran is spiraling out of control. Donald Trump is trying to pretend to be tough, but everybody in the world just sees how weak he is right now.
Donald Trump called up Mary Bruce of ABC, and she asked him if he's worried about the risk at home, if he's worried about the loss of life. if he's worried that americans can now be targeted by terrorist attacks from iran donald trump told abc i'm not worried about anything at all i'm not worried on the economic fallout of the war with iran and rising gas prices
donald trump said i think it's fine it's a little glitch we had to take this detour i knew exactly what was going to happen with the detour you know while the american people didn't this detour you mean an unlawful war where american soldiers have already died where the middle east is now engulfed in war and you have no exit strategy
Then in this phone call with Mary Bruce, Donald Trump says everything is on the table when it comes to ground forces or the news that he and Netanyahu are potentially planning to send special forces into Iran to capture the enriched uranium. Donald Trump says that Iran was planning to attack the entire Middle East. Iran was trying to take over all of the Middle East.
That's why Donald Trump said we had to invade So they're now just changing the story once again. It's just so utterly despicable that we have a regime that lies about literally everything. And Donald Trump says that if Iran chooses the next Ayatollah without consulting Donald Trump, he said, the new one won't last long. They must consult me. I must be the one who picks the Ayatollah for them.

Chapter 2: Why is Donald Trump panicking over Iran's refusal to ceasefire?
I want to win it quick. I'm in Miami. You see this hat? Free Cuba. Stay tuned. The liberation of Cuba is upon us. It's just a matter of time now. You see this, that? Make Iran great. President Trump said the only way to make Iran great is for the people to take over. We're marching through the world. We're cleaning out the bad guys.
Chapter 3: How is Trump's approach to Iran perceived globally?
We're going to have relationships with new people that will make us prosperous and safe. I've never seen anybody like it. This is Ronald Reagan plus. Donald Trump is resetting the world in a way nobody could have dreamed of a year ago. He is the greatest commander in chief of all time. Our military is the best of all time. Iran is going down and Cuba is next.
You hear what he said there? We're going to be marching through the world and then he's able to sell Donald Trump on these wars and Donald Trump buys into him on the basis of merch. And we're marching through the world, descending death upon the world. This is what the United States is doing. This should be horrifying and make you beyond pissed regardless of what
political party you are from right now i mean this is absolutely horrible horrible stuff right here more from lindsey graham right there he goes now to our arab friends you're getting hit too you want treaties with the united states we shouldn't be going it alone you should join us here play this clip
Americans who died in the defense of our country. Now, to our Arab friends, you're being hit too. Has any Arab country struck a run? Now, if you want a treaty with the United States, you need to get in this fight. Now, America's not going to the Mideast just to fight alone. So I'm urging our Arab allies to fight back.
You're being hit too. You should join. That's your pitch while you say we're going to be marching through the entire world. You know, you've decimated, you want to talk about the word decimated? You've decimated the reputation of all of these Arab nations, whether it's Qatar and how they wanted to present Doha, whether it's the United Arab Emirates with Dubai and Abu Dhabi or any of these places.
you had bahrain getting hit yesterday and as i mentioned the desalination and water supplies in bahrain were hit you have uh kuwait uh essentially effectively kuwait's uh ability to produce gases you know has been and export gas is effectively shut down kuwait's oil chief is saying the following today the straight of her most sees practically zero traffic for the first time in 80 years
The CEO of Kuwait's Petroleum Corporation, Nawaf al-Sabah, says Iranian threats have effectively shut down shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Even though the waterway itself has not been physically closed, it's effectively shut down. Tankers have stopped passing through the strait. And again, it's the first time this has really happened in like 80 years, and it's crippling economies.
I mean, when our markets open again, I mean, I think it's gonna be a really bad sign. And then Lindsey Graham goes on state regime media, as you just saw, and he's like, we're gonna bomb the hell out of Iran. We're going to bomb the hell out of them. And it's going to be, they're going to be so many people dead. I mean, I'm watching this and I'm like, dude, this guy's like getting off on this.
Like he, this arouses this weird guy. Like what the hell are you talking? This is war. This is serious stuff. And when Donald Trump, I don't care about anything. You don't care about how the war is impacting the American people. You're right. You don't care about anything.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Trump's statements about Iran's military actions?
You can't do it by talking. The Democrats criticize this operation. They didn't do a damn thing. These men and women in the military should make us all proud.
So then Iran's foreign minister is asked on Meet the Press this morning, so, you know, do you want to agree to a ceasefire with Trump? You know, they're reaching out for a ceasefire. Do you want to do a deal? And the foreign minister, Arakhchi, is like, Arakhchi's like, no. Why would we want to do that? Every time we do that, they just attack us again. We think we're in a good position here.
Watch what Iran's foreign minister had to say here. Let's play this clip.
Well, let me ask you, because what conditions would Iran accept to bring this war to an end?
Well, actually, we are not at that point yet. Obviously, this time is different from the previous time. Last time we accepted the ceasefire. But, you know, this time is quite different. And the reason is obvious. You know, last time they attacked us. They made aggression against us. They killed our people. They destroyed our places and then asked for a ceasefire.
And we accepted out of good faith because we were only exercising the, you know, the act of self-defense. And when the aggression was stopped, we stopped too. But, you know, it didn't bring about peace. And now this year, they again started to attack us. And again, they have, you know, they are killing our people. They are killing, you know, students.
You know, they are attacking hospitals, you know, fresh water. desalination, refineries, everywhere, people have been killed, places have been destroyed, and now they want to ask for a ceasefire again? Well, this doesn't work like this. So there should be a permanent end of the war.
And unless we get to that, I think we need to, you know, continue fighting for the sake of our people and our security.
Now, I should also be noting that Fox has been engaged in major, major manipulation of its viewers, as it always does. This one's i guess even more egregious than some of the other instances i point out where fox had to admit that it is airing old dignified transfer video footage on its programs all morning because in the one that took place in dover in the past 24 hours

Chapter 5: What are the consequences of U.S. strikes on Iranian infrastructure?
the country is now pumping about 1.7 million to 1.8 million barrels of oil every day down from about 4.3 million a day before the conflict began qatar has essentially shut down its liquefied natural gas production you can see kuwait's social security building right here the aftermath of a direct strike by iran right there as i mentioned before the u.s struck iran's desalination plant iran responds
by attacking Bahrain's desalination plant. Iran continues to send its ballistics and its Shahid drones into Israel right now. And that's continuing at a pretty frantic pace. A lot of these countries also in the Middle East view it as a crime to videotape the damage in their countries. And they'll say, oh, you're just sending out disinformation. So that's why
A lot of the footage and a lot of the things are even getting kind of covered up right now of the actual damage that's taking place. You have, I mean, there was news that, okay, the UAE is going to be joining the war and the UAE is attacking Iran and the UAE is like...
we're not we're not from a defensive posture were involved but we do not want to be involved in this from an offensive posture a source close to the united arab emirates told the jerusalem post in abu dhabi officials are struggling to understand israel's conduct and the nature of the briefings coming out of israel this concerns a sovereign state that makes its decisions independently publications of this kind do not help the regional effort and could cause damage to the relationship the source added
It is inappropriate for what it is referred to as, quote, senior Israeli officials to speak on our behalf and or spread rumors about the actions of another sovereign state because senior Israeli leaders were saying the UAE has been helping to strike Iran. And the UAE is like, Don't say that we're doing that. You're harming us by that coming from a senior Israeli state.

Chapter 6: How does Iran respond to U.S. military actions in the region?
And now it's like, oh, the UAE is now working with Netanyahu publicly like that. And so the UAE is like, yeah, we're not doing that. We're denying that we're carrying out strikes against Iran. And the chairman of UAE's national defense says, look, we're going to do this from a defensive posture, but we're not doing this offensively. So That's where we're at right now.
We'll keep you posted every step of the way here on the Midas Touch Network. You know, it just it makes me so utterly upset when Donald Trump's like, I don't care. I don't care about anything. I mean, as much as I despise the guy, you should care about our troops. You should care about life or death stuff.
