Donald Trump has walked himself right into a fatal trap. Things are spiraling out of control in connection with his disastrous and unlawful war in Iran. The footage that you just saw there at the beginning of this video is the moment that an Iranian medium-range ballistic missile struck the city of Dimona in southern Israel. Dimona was hit by that medium-range ballistic missile. So was another southern Israel city known as Arad. Dimona is heavily fortified, and that's where Israel's nuclear facilities are based. And the fact that Iran was able to strike that facility is of very significant import indeed. And that followed the fact that the United States and Israel earlier in the day had struck Iran's nuclear facility, the Natanz nuclear facility, which was supposedly obliterated last June.
So in response to the U.S. and Israel striking Natanz, You then had Iran striking that facility that I just mentioned before. Now, Donald Trump posted the following message as well, as things continue to escalate. This is a ridiculous message. Donald Trump writes, If Iran doesn't fully open, without threat, the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various power plants, starting with the biggest one first. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump. So Trump delivering an ultimatum that the United States and Israel will destroy all of your energy facilities. We are going for, apparently what he seemed to say there is your civilian infrastructure as well.
So What happens? Escalation, of course. And Iran continues to try to show escalation dominance. Donald Trump makes a threat. Iran responds. Trump and Israel strike the energy facilities in Iran. Iran responds by striking the facilities in Qatar and Haifa and Saudi Arabia. So the spokesperson for Iran's armed forces says that if Donald Trump and Israel attacks their energy infrastructure, there will be immediate attacks on the energy infrastructure's of all of the Arab nations that are allied with the United States, information technology infrastructure, desalination infrastructure, which would basically cause the Arab nations to run out of water in the surrounding areas very quickly. So Trump makes those threats, and Iran responds essentially immediately.
But one of the things as Donald Trump continues to show weakness, Iran feels like as long as it keeps punching Donald Trump in the face, it gets rewarded.
What ultimatum did Trump issue to Iran and what was its significance?
I mean, just think about this. When Donald Trump and the United States just removed all of the sanctions on Iranian oil, that allowed Iran to get $14 billion as a reward. So think about it. When former President Obama made the nuclear deal with Iran over a decade ago, which Trump and MAGA excoriated Obama for, but which created oversight with the International Atomic Energy Agency, was able to conduct these daily or at least regular inspections and to make sure that Iran could not enrich the uranium. Donald Trump pulled out of that deal during his first term, but at the maximum, the payments that were made to Iran, which were viewed as reparation style payments, whatever you want to say. Max $1.4 billion.
And that's what MAGA and Trump, remember, they'd always be like, cash, planes full of cash, and this and that. And they would always exaggerate it. And they would always kind of misrepresent what it was. But in the past 24 hours alone, the US has allowed Iran to get $14 billion in oil revenue.
