What is Iran's military response to potential US invasion?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump is panicking as Iran says it is preparing one million troops if the United States invades the Karg Islands or anywhere else in Iran. Now, Donald Trump has immediately responded by claiming he is entering into further fake negotiations with Iran, which Iran has immediately denied. But Donald Trump made this statement as the markets here in the United States are crashing. And so again, Donald Trump has tried to manipulate the market, but it seems the market is getting numb to all of his lies where he'll make up something. Then Iran, whether it's to the Wall Street Journal or through an intermediary or through Dropside or through another, the Financial Times, will just say absolutely everything that Donald Trump is saying is not true.
Ben Meiselas 0:50
Let's just go through the events here. So Iran says, if you invade, we have more than one million fighters who are preparing for a ground battle. And Iran put that out through Tasman News Agency, citing their own Iranian military sources. Then Donald Trump posts, as per Iranian government request, please let this statement serve to represent that I am pausing the period of energy plan destruction. By the way, that's a war crime. by 10 days to Monday, April 6th, 2026 at 8 p.m.

How does Trump attempt to manipulate market reactions?

Ben Meiselas 1:19
Eastern time. Talks are ongoing and despite erroneous statements to the contrary by the fake news media and others, they are going very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump. So instinctively, we knew that Donald Trump was lying because everything that spews out of his mouth and vomits out of his face is an absolute lie. And then shortly thereafter, we heard from Iranian officials who said the following. Senior Iranian officials told Dropsite News that U.S. President Donald Trump was not being truthful in his post earlier on Truth Social, announcing an additional five-day pause on his threat to bomb Iranian energy infrastructure at the request of Iran, with the official stating, Trump is not being truthful.
Ben Meiselas 2:00
We have not submitted any request regarding potential U.S. attacks. Now, you might be saying, well, that's a senior Iranian official, and they're saying that to Dropsite. Maybe that's a lie.

What are the implications of Trump's false statements on negotiations?

Ben Meiselas 2:10
Maybe they're not telling the truth. Well, Then one of the individuals trying to be a mediator, I think probably from Pakistan that the U.S. is trying to use to engage with Iran, then went to the Wall Street Journal and made it very clear. Iran hasn't requested a pause on energy site strikes, the mediator says. So the same way that the former mediator, the foreign minister of Oman, basically said that the United States and Israel, um, acted in a way that was inconsistent with the negotiations where there was a deal that was reached in late February and that there were just technical details that needed to follow. But then the US and Israel invaded Iran when there was a deal to be had. You're having the new mediator likely from Pakistan, but it's unclear from where.
Ben Meiselas 2:56
telling the Wall Street Journal and others that what Donald Trump is saying is an absolute lie. Iran has not requested a 10-day pause on strikes on its energy plans and is yet to deliver a final response to the U.S. 15-point plan to end the war. According to, quote, peace talk mediators, this was reported by Wall Street Journal. But what we do know from this article is that Iran has ruled out discussing its missiles program as a starting point to talks and doesn't want to commit to ending enrichment of uranium reserves. forever, the mediators say. So don't even talk to us about dismantling our Shahids, our ballistic missiles of any range, intermediate or otherwise. We're not even going to have that conversation with you.
Ben Meiselas 3:39
And we want to enrich uranium. We saw what you did when you invaded us the last time. So we don't trust you. That's what Iran is saying. So Iran has already rejected the 15-point plan through the mediator. And then before that, you had senior Iranian officials basically saying, no plan for talks appears to be realistic at this stage. So Iran says, no plan for talks
