What triggered Donald Trump's panic regarding Iran's military actions?

Ben Meiselas 0:06
What you just saw right there was a massive Iranian drone attack on the city of Erbil in Iraq, where the United States has a consulate and a military base. You could see the numerous impacts. Now, Donald Trump is panicking as Iran continues to successfully use FPV drone swarms, ballistic missiles, and Shahid drones to target military bases of the United States in the region, critical infrastructure of the United States in the region, as well as critical infrastructure of its Arab neighbors who have partnered with the United States and Donald Trump in the war against Iran. And folks, we have additional grim news from the perspective of the United States military. In addition to the fact that at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, an Iranian ballistic missile and drone swarm attack resulted in 12 of our soldiers

being injured, with two being very severely injured. We're also learning the extent of the damage of our military equipment there, and that damage likely exceeds $1 billion. And the damage also includes critical satellite reconnaissance and military functions that have now been disabled.

What military assets were lost in the Iranian drone attack?

Ben Meiselas 1:34
Remember how I reported yesterday that an E3G century airborne early warning and control aircraft, along with numerous KC-135 strato tankers, those fueling planes were hit by Iran in this attack that took place at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. We didn't know the extent of the damage. Now we do. We can see the photographs from that base. And folks, it is a total loss. The E-3G Sentry airborne early warning and control aircraft with the U.S. Air Force's 552nd Air Control Wing based out of the Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, along with those KC-135s, were completely destroyed. by the iranian ballistic missile strike and iran likely got their information about where and how to strike from the russians as the united states and donald trump continues to attack nato and lift the sanctions from russia for it to be able to sell oil and as the state department and maga republican congress members on capitol hill this past week invited the top leaders from russia's duma
Ben Meiselas 2:50
basically their senate to tour the capital and to talk about economic cooperation together the cooperation that the russians see is cooperating with iran to destroy american military assets and critical assets just take a look at the satellite imagery right here this shows those kc-135 strato tankers being destroyed and then we know the century was destroyed as well those e3

How have Iran's tactics evolved in targeting U.S. military bases?

Ben Meiselas 3:18
that E3 was destroyed. As Policy Tensor explains over here, the E3s are not just early warning systems, not just the eyes of the interceptor systems, and not just our eyes in the sky. They're airborne command posts that quarterback the entire battle. So when Iran is able to destroy them, it makes it almost impossible to prosecute the war. But Donald Trump doesn't care about that. The USS Tripoli has just arrived in the CENTCOM region, and there is additional Marine Expeditionary Units on their way. The 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg has been sent over into this region as well with the Elite Paratrooper Unit. And the Washington Post and others are reporting that the Pentagon has prepared plans for potentially a week-long or months-long ground invasion that could take place at any moment right now.
Ben Meiselas 4:22
I'll talk about that in just a moment as well. And by the way,

What implications do the recent attacks have on U.S. military strategy?

Ben Meiselas 4:27
The European countries are trying to tell Donald Trump, you realize that Russia is working with Iran right now to target all of these American military bases. They're destroying your entire military arsenal in the region. Wake up, Donald. But Donald Trump doesn't want to listen to that. As I've said, Donald Trump is a Putin bootlicker. Let's just go back to Iraq for a moment right here. Here is a different angle where you can see some of those Iranian drone strikes, which appear to be targeting that U.S. consulate in Erbil, which had previously been hit as well by Iran. Let's just play this clip right here. You can see it.

How is the U.S. responding to Iranian aggression in the region?

Ben Meiselas 5:15
Now, there was explosions throughout Iraq all day because on the one hand, you have the Iranian ballistic missiles and drone swarms and Iran working with Shiite militias that had been actually authorized by the Iraqi government to go after American military base interests.
