Why is Donald Trump panicking about the war with Iran?
Donald Trump is panicking. He's trying to get a ceasefire from Iran. He's trying to essentially surrender while pretending that he accomplished some big victory in Iran. But the war rages on. Three ships. in the Strait of Hormuz were struck by Iran this morning after, remember, Donald Trump and all his regime were saying, try to go through, it's patriotic if you go through the Strait of Hormuz. Three ships were hit by Iran. And what Donald Trump told Axios this morning is, There's practically nothing left to even target of Iran. They've been so decimated, so obliterated that the war is basically over and there are no additional strikes happening from Iran into any of the neighboring Arab nations, which is not only 100% false, but it is deeply, deeply dangerous to be lying like that.
Just take a look at what's happening this morning. Three ships were hit by projectiles from Iran near the Strait of Hormuz within three hours, as Dropsite explains. The UK Maritime Monitor is saying three commercial vessels were struck by suspected projectiles within roughly three hours early Wednesday near the Strait of Hormuz, according to alerts from the UK Maritime Trade Operations. the cargo vessel Express Rome, the bulk carrier Meori Nari, and the container ship that's name is not yet disclosed.
What recent attacks have occurred in the Strait of Hormuz?
Also, if you look what's going on in Oman right now, their largest oil facility was struck. unclear. It seems that it was struck by an Iranian drone, but not sure if it was from the Houthis or from elsewhere. But you can see right now the main Oman storage facility right there being hit. The national average price of diesel in the U.S. has reached four dollars and eighty one cents per gallon, its highest level since December 15th, 2022. I mean, take a look at what that port looks like in Salal right now in Oman after this attack. And look, the British are well, Donald Trump's Like, nothing's going wrong. Everything is amazing. The British military confirming that these cargo ships are ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz.
They are providing accurate updates to their people. And what the Iranian military is saying is that they are switching from what they've been referring to as reciprocal hits. And I think they use that name because Donald Trump calls his tariffs reciprocal tariffs. They go, we're switching from reciprocal hits to now continuous strikes.
How is Trump misrepresenting the situation in Iran?
And Iran is saying that their goal is to drive oil prices to $200 per barrel. They're saying our goal is to make you suffer economically. This is a war of attrition and we're not going to stop. The details include Iran saying that US will not be able to control oil prices. We won't allow even one liter of oil to reach the US, Israel and its partners. An Iranian military spokesperson said any vessel or tanker bound to them will be a legitimate target. Iran says that if you pass the Strait of Hormuz, you need the permission of the Islamic Republic. Iran appears to be shifting their military strategy as oil prices were starting to decline, but now they're back up. over $90 a barrel. And you can see right here, I mean, this is the statement from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy chief who says, after hitting those three ships that I mentioned at the beginning of this video, were these ships assured that they could pass through the Strait of Hormuz?
asked the crews aboard the ships, the Maiori, Nori, and the Express Rome, who today trusted empty promises, ignored the warnings, and intended to pass through the strait, but were caught. And who was giving them those empty promises? All of the Trump regime officials, MAGA Republican senators, American business leaders, you know, who were aligned with MAGA were saying, just go through it. It's patriotic. And those three ships have now essentially been hit very hard, if not destroyed. And we're learning more about the Iranian drone attack in Kuwait that killed US service members in the early hours of the war. Remember, it killed six. There was a seventh soldier who died in Saudi Arabia. Six died in the drone attack in Kuwait.
