Ben Meiselas 0:05
Donald Trump's disastrous national address about the war in Iran, his unlawful and catastrophic war in Iran, blew up in his face as he was giving that disastrous speech. You saw there at the beginning of this video footage showing an alleged Iranian ballistic missile impact that was also taking place last night at the Naval Support Activity in Bahrain, which is the home of the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet Headquarters. Located within the Kingdom of Bahrain's capital of Manama on the Owl Island in the Persian Gulf. So Donald Trump was saying we've obliterated all of Iran's weapons.

Meanwhile, Iran striking Bahrain and Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates and Qatar and other Arab neighbor nations. that have United States military bases on it.

Within about, what, 20 minutes of Donald Trump delivering that speech, the S&P 500 futures erased $550 billion in market cap in just 25 minutes. you can see right there the s p tanking right after donald trump's speech gold and silver prices collapsed following donald trump's address to the nation you see it right there bitcoin fell below 67 000 as the stock market futures also hit new lows oil prices started to surge both crude oil wti and the brent crude oil surging surging surging gas prices show no signs of getting cheaper anytime soon what about those treasury note yields yep the entire market was expecting that donald trump would de-escalate the iran war i mean that's what they were teasing and as the kobiasi letter said when that did not happen the 10-year note yield is back on its way to 4.40 percent

Why did Trump's speech raise concerns about potential war crimes?

Ben Meiselas 2:18

He openly threatened what amounted to war crimes, casually suggested the Strait of Hormuz would just magically open up on its own, and he slurred his way through those remarks.
Ben Meiselas 3:06
It's unclear who that speech was even meant for. to persuade.

What does Trump's rhetoric reveal about his strategy in the Iran conflict?

Ben Meiselas 3:10
Oh, Mark Levin. Mark Levin says, great speech, Donald, on Mark Levin. Obliterate the entire nation, Donald, on Mark Levin. Mark Levin, how horrible of a human being is he? The Kobayashi letter explained it like this. The entire situation last night was incredibly puzzling. Trump's address to the nation, what was he doing? He was rereading his social media posts between threatening Iran's power plan, saying the Iran war would last two to three more weeks,

How are U.S. allies responding to Trump's actions regarding Iran?

Ben Meiselas 3:38
and calling out nato there was nothing new yet the market is now trading like the iran war is ramping up for another month-long escalation why because he didn't de-escalate let me just interject and say why this is covid all over again except in the form of a catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. Trump has no exit plan. Remember COVID at this time? It's Easter, right? By Easter, we're going to bend the curve. It's all going to go away like a miracle. That's exactly what he's saying with the Strait of Hormuz, right?

What are the implications of Trump's approval ratings on his foreign policy?

Ben Meiselas 4:08
Why did y'all let this deranged maniac criminal felon, this sexual predator found civilly liable for sexual assault, why'd you let this guy back in? It's doing the same thing over and over again. Meanwhile, you had Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, say, back to the Stone Age. That's what they're referring to Iran as. We're going to bomb you back to the Stone Age, making no distinction either between the Islamic Republic, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
