Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump is panicking and convened an emergency meeting in the Situation Room with his top cabinet officials. This as Iran is absolutely repudiating Donald Trump's claims that Iran entered into a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz and basically fully surrender Iran said we haven't agreed to anything. that donald trump is saying we're sticking with our 10-point negotiating framework and donald trump's just out there lying and manipulating the markets in iran said we're going to now fully shut down the straight of her moves previously as a gesture of good faith we were allowing some ships to go through a coordinated route that we agreed to. And now we're saying no ships can go through the Strait of Hormuz because the United States continues its naval blockade of the Persian Gulf.

And Donald Trump continues to lie about our negotiating positions. He continues to threaten us during the ceasefire period while negotiations are taking place. The Strait of Hormuz is closed down.

What claims did Iran make about the Strait of Hormuz?

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps announced to all tankers in the Persian Gulf. If any of you come near the Strait of Hormuz exit, we will shoot at you. In fact, two Indian tankers that went close to the Strait of Hormuz, believing that they had permission, were shot at by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. We have some of the audio of Iranian Revolutionary Guard. putting out over their Channel 16 to the other ships saying, if you come close based on Donald Trump's tweets, a stupid person's tweets, you will be shot, you will be killed. Let me just play for you what's being transmitted by Iran to the local tanker so you can just hear it for yourself. And then I'm going to bring you into the Situation Room as Donald Trump is panicking and calling this emergency meeting.

Now, folks, you don't have to just take it from my word that Donald Trump is panicking. The Wall Street Journal just wrote an expose with multiple sources close to Donald Trump talking about how he is panicking about this war and how he tries to project bravado, but that he's like pacing through the White House and does not have any clear plans or intentions at all And then when he gets nervous, he just wants to talk about his ballroom and building arches. It's really quite pathetic. But Donald Trump made this meeting, the Situation Room meeting with some of his top officials. J.D. Vance was there. Rubio was there. Hegseth was there. Besson was there. His chief of staff, Susie Wiles, was there. Steve Witkoff.

I don't know why this guy keeps coming around and he's the worst. They're all the worst, frankly. CIA Director John Ratcliffe was there, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Dan Kaine, was there as well. And a senior U.S. official said, based on what was transpiring in this emergency Situation Room meeting, that if there's not a breakthrough soon with Iran, the war could resume in the coming days. Lots of people in the Middle East are expecting escalation as well. Shortly after Donald Trump got out of the Situation Room meeting, with all of those individuals he made the following post on social media whether people like israel or not they have proven to be a great ally of the united states of america they are courageous bold loyal and smart unlike others that have shown their true colors in a moment of conflict and stress israel fights hard and knows how to win president dj t now earlier in the day yesterday morning donald trump held that bizarre press conference
