Why is Donald Trump panicking over the crowds in Tehran?
Donald Trump is panicking this morning as the size of the crowds in Tehran continue to grow. What started with millions is now tens of millions of mourners for Ayatollah Khomeini's funeral procession. We're seeing tens of millions of people on the street in Tehran and in surrounding cities. I'll show you some images right here. So now in the Oval Office, Donald Trump is back to saying, well, we're either going to make a deal with Iran or we're going to finish the job. It won't be tough for us to finish the job. We're going to destroy their energy. We're going to destroy their bridges. We're going to destroy their big, beautiful plants. And they're not going to like it. We can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way, Donald Trump says.
as he threatens the individuals who are out there mourning essentially the person who is their pope and as donald trump entered into who was their pope uh donald trump entered into the mou you did the deal already what deal are you talk there's nothing more to negotiate other than to make the deal into a long-form agreement here's what donald trump said play this clip maybe making a deal i don't know we'll make either look we're going to win one way or the other
We're either going to make a deal or we're going to finish the job, okay? And it won't be tough to finish the job. I'd rather make a deal because I don't want to affect 91 million people. We can knock down their bridges in one hour. We can knock out their energy supply, all of those big plants that they built, big, beautiful, modern plants that had a lot of money. They don't have any money now. We haven't given them any money. But we can knock out their electricity and power generating plants in, I would say, a small part of an afternoon. Every plant will be gone. And they know that.
Now, Financial Times has confirmed the numbers that we've been telling.
What does Trump's Oval Office response reveal about his strategy?
I've seen some of your comments saying, Ben, there's not tens of millions. You're exaggerating. You're being hyperbolic. Come on, Ben. Here's how Financial Times puts it. The funeral of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, could see a total of 12 million to 15 million visitors across the days of events, making it one of the largest funerals in modern history. I would say it's the largest funeral. ever. Take a look right here, what you can see in Engelab Square and Azadi Square. I mean, the whole Tehran is filled with people. And in addition to in the mosque mourning area as well here playing this clip.
So then Donald Trump is like, well, we're doing very well with Iran. We're doing very well with them. You know, we're just not getting the coverage that we deserve. It's really a media thing that, you know, when I say they're fully destroyed and that the people hate the regime there and that they have no radars and militaries, You know, when media says they have a military, they still control the Strait of Hormuz, you're lying about everything and then show images. Man, that's so unfair to the United States. Here, play this clip.
Hundreds of billions, they have more money than they've ever made. And we're doing very well. Paid for the war many times over. And then Iran, we're doing actually equally as well. We're just not getting the kind of coverage that we should. But we have eviscerated them military and The bottom line is our country is strong. We have the greatest military anywhere in the world. I was with President Xi.
Then Donald Trump said that nobody ever heard of the Strait of Hormuz before this war.
How does Trump describe the situation with Iran's energy and infrastructure?
Nobody heard of it. He said, but it's a big money machine. You know, you should learn your history. Everybody knew about the Strait of Hormuz. And by the way, I'll give you another piece of history as well. July 3rd of 1988, when the United States military destroyed an Iranian commercial flight, Iran Air Flight 655, killing 290 people. Yeah, the Iranians remember that and people remember what went down there anyway. Here, let's play this clip of Donald Trump saying nobody's heard of the Strait of Hormuz.
