11 Apr 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What demands is Iran making during the peace talks?

0.031 - 23.035 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump is panicking as Iran has issued its final demands during these purported peace talks that are taking place in Islamabad. Iran said it's impossible to negotiate with Donald Trump and his regime since they lie about everything. So we're just imposing our demands. They either meet our demands or they don't.

And now they said, we'll get into technical talks about how to implement our demands, which include control over the Strait of Hormuz, full reparations, as well as long-term security guarantees for Iran and its proxy groups throughout the Middle East. Here you have Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Qasem Gharabadi.

He says that Tehran is making demands in the current talks with the United States rather than engaging in ordinary negotiations, citing Washington's record of dishonesty and deception. He says Iran is demanding not just negotiating with the United States, now Iran has also put this out, on its social media accounts. This discussion is centered on our demands.

72.383 - 85.59 Ben Meiselas

And they put that in all caps rather than being a negotiation. They also posted time to seal the victory in beautiful Islamabad. And just to remind you what some of these demands are.

authority over the Strait of Hormuz, payment of war reparations, unfreezing of all blocked Iranian financial assets, securing a comprehensive regional ceasefire and permanent security guarantees for itself and for all of its proxy groups. And one of the things that Iran continues to do is just mock Donald Trump's post. I mean, Trump's been making post after post this morning

111.659 - 133.768 Ben Meiselas

you know so donald trump did a post the iranians don't seem to realize they have no cards other than a short-term extortion of the world by using international waterways now tehran responded by saying the latest attempts at psychological warfare against iran we are masters of this with a smiley face emoji

133.748 - 150.39 Ben Meiselas

And according to Iran, they're saying the US has agreed to already release part of Iran's frozen assets, which was a precondition to start the negotiation. The Trump regime denies that they released Iranian funds. Iran says that those funds have been released.

150.37 - 179.432 Ben Meiselas

so there's a dispute there there's also a dispute over an incident that took place in the strait of hormuz the trump regime leaked to its favorite propagandist from axios barack ravid the following several u.s navy ships crossed the strait of hormuz on saturday a senior u.s official tells me the move was not coordinated with iran this is the first time u.s warships have crossed the strait of hormuz since the war has begun

179.412 - 198.861 Ben Meiselas

Ravid goes on to say, the senior American official said that the warships crossed the Strait of Hormuz from east to west into the Gulf, then made their way back eastward through the strait to the Arabian Sea. This was an operation focused on freedom of navigation through international waters, the senior American official said.

Chapter 2: How is Trump responding to Iran's negotiations?

307.564 - 331.021 Ben Meiselas

According to the Trump version of events, the destroyer has traveled all throughout the Strait of Hormuz and was not encountered by any naval vessels or military vessels of Iran. Barack Ravid from Axios then writes, Senior American officials said we have not received any threat from Iran to attack the ship so that they were going to attack the ships.

331.402 - 363.471 Ben Meiselas

Iranian military officials say no US vessel ended up crossing the Strait of Hormuz. You can see right here the Pakistan mediations taking place. You see the Iranian negotiators. As I mentioned earlier, Iran sent a team of basically like a dozen of its top leaders, people very familiar with nuclear energy and nuclear capabilities, lots of PhDs, all of their kind of top, top leaders showed up.

0

363.572 - 389.936 Ben Meiselas

On the other hand, the United States sent JD Vance, and Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. And I just think it's notable again that Trump is sending Witkoff and Kushner who botched the negotiations last time. And there's no one in the room for the United States who has any understanding of nuclear capability. So when they're talking about the technical aspects of things.

0

390.557 - 411.57 Ben Meiselas

Iran has people who very much know all the technical aspects of nuclear capabilities and enrichment and all of that. And on the other side, the US doesn't. And the US, there's no other US allies. I don't think there's any other US allies that exist anymore, quite frankly. that exists at this point, other than Donald Trump doing what Netanyahu tells him to do.

0

411.61 - 422.871 Ben Meiselas

But like, there's no NATO allies, there's no experience in the room on the US side of things. Now, again, Iran says US released money to them, US denies that.

422.851 - 440.303 Ben Meiselas

white house is saying today reports regarding approval to release iranian assets are false claims and then donald trump starts making his post after post after post trump post this morning the fake news media lost all credibility the fake news media has lost total credibility not that they had any to begin with

440.283 - 462.375 Ben Meiselas

Because of their massive Trump derangement syndrome, they love saying that Iran is winning when in fact everyone knows that they are losing and they are losing big. And Donald Trump says, praise be to Allah. He says that their longtime leaders of Iran are no longer with us. Praise be to Allah. I mean, again, just think about it. You're in this negotiation right now.

462.876 - 481.348 Ben Meiselas

People are trying to resolve this and he's mocking the killing of Iranian leaders and mocking their religion by saying, praise be to Allah. The only thing they have going is the threat that a ship may bunk into one of their sea mines, which by the way, all 28 of their mine dropper boats are also lying at the bottom of the sea.

481.808 - 505.375 Ben Meiselas

We're now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favor to countries all over the world, including China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and many others. Incredibly, they don't have the courage or will to do this work themselves. Very interestingly, however, empty oil carrying ships from many nations are all heading to the United States of America to load up with oil.
