What is causing Donald Trump's panic regarding the war in Iran?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump is panicking as his disastrous war in Iran continues to spiral out of control. And now Donald Trump thinks that if he just throws the special forces at the catastrophic problem he created, that that will solve everything. Just send these special forces to go and extract nearly 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium. Just put them in a country with 90 million people and see what happens. That's what Donald Trump's apparently planning. Several hundred US Special Operation Forces, including Army Rangers and Navy SEALs, have just arrived in the Middle East, joining thousands of Marines and Army paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division in a deployment

What role are US special forces playing in the current conflict?

meant to give Donald Trump additional options to expand the current month-long disastrous war in Iran with planning underway for possible ground invasions. This is being reported by the New York Times. and the Wall Street Journal reporting how Trump is weighing a military operation with these special forces to extract nearly 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium from at least two sites in Iran, a very complex and risky mission that would likely put hundreds of American ground forces inside the country for days, if not longer. But all of this would be expected to have this war drag on for months and months and months. While all of this is taking place as Donald Trump has sent now tens of thousands of additional troops with Marine Expeditionary Units to Iran with the USS Tripoli arriving there on Friday, Donald Trump called up the Financial Times and gave an interview where he said the following things.

I want to seize all of Iran's oil. To be honest with you, Trump said, my favorite thing is to take their oil. That's my favorite thing, to take all of the oil of Iran. So what Donald Trump said, he also said that he's considering taking Karg Island, Iran's main oil export hub. So considering a mission with special forces to extract oil, 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium also taking Karg Island. What could possibly go wrong, everybody? He compares Iran to Venezuela, saying U.S. could control the oil in Iran indefinitely like we're doing in Venezuela. Trump claims Iran has no real defense anymore. I don't think they have any defense anymore. We could take care of it all very easily. It would be done very, very easily.

He said that it would require an occupation, but he says he's got the appetite for it. He says it would also mean we'd have to be there for a while. And he says that MAGA supports that. MAGA's happy when Donald Trump goes to war in the Middle East. He claims, Trump claims the scale of bombing is that we've already bombed 13,000 targets. We've got about 3,000 targets left. Well, we've learned that a lot of these targets are targets where Iranian civilians live. Of course, we know about Manab, where there were 165 little girls who were murdered by American tomahawks. But we also talked earlier yesterday about a gym, not the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps facility down the block, but there was a gym in Iran that was attacked by the United States where dozens of people were killed.

And we continue to see what? hundreds, if not thousands of civilians in Iran killed by the United States and Israel. You also have Donald Trump claiming that regime change has effectively already happened. We've done regime change, he said. And in fact, Trump said the current regime, very reasonable people. Donald Trump says they've agreed to most of his terms with the 15 point conditions that Trump imposed. Very reasonable. Things are going great. And Donald Trump said they gave a great, gift that they're allowing 20 Pakistani ships to go through the Strait of Hormuz, which Trump says is a gift to Donald Trump. It has nothing to do with Donald Trump. It's two ships a day. The escort for it is not the United States Navy.
Ben Meiselas 4:28
It's the Iranian Navy. It has nothing to do with Trump.

What are the risks of Trump's proposed military operations in Iran?

Ben Meiselas 4:32
Iran's president, Pozeshkin, and others are saying. But Donald Trump says, look what I got. You got what, Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz?
