Chapter 1: What triggered Donald Trump's panic over the war escalation?

9.532 - 34.459 Ben Meiselas

A sudden escalation in Donald Trump's catastrophic war against Iran. What you just saw there were U.S. troops that almost got hit by a ballistic missile. This video is now surfacing. It was taken in the past few days. Some believe that may be in Bahrain. But if we look at what's happened last night and into the early morning hours in Bahrain, in Kuwait,

in the United Arab Emirates and elsewhere, we're seeing a rapid escalation in this war. Now, Donald Trump is panicking. He's been choreographing that he's basically ready to leave Iran. He's ready to surrender. He sees the U.S. economy tanking. Donald Trump's like, I'll just leave the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control. Others can deal with it.

56.44 - 74.146 Ben Meiselas

That's what he was saying at a press conference in the Oval Office yesterday. Let France deal with it. Let the U.K. deal with it. Why do we have to do anything about it in the United States? But guess what? In a war, there are two sides. They have a say. And Iran is saying we're going to control the Strait of Hormuz with an iron fist.

74.687 - 97.563 Ben Meiselas

And you know how we said that if you started escalating and attacking Iran further, we would hit American companies further. that are located in Arab nations and that we would escalate as well. Well, that's what we're doing. We're escalating as well. So here's what happened just over the past 12 hours or so. Large fires at the Kuwait airport after Iranian attack hit fuel tanks there.

97.923 - 125.123 Ben Meiselas

And Iran's been able to attack that airport and the surrounding area with impunity. Unknown projectiles were hitting tankers off the coast of Qatar. This is one of the more recent events where we see Qatar being hit yet again. There was a brief moment where Qatar was, seemed to maybe, did they cut a temporary deal or do a temporary ceasefire? to get Iran to stop retaliating against them.

125.143 - 149.817 Ben Meiselas

Also, you could take a look right here at this fairly large fire that was burning all throughout the morning in Bahrain. Locals in Bahrain were saying that it was the loudest night into the morning of the bombing, the ballistic missile strikes and Shahid drone and FPV drone swarms by Iran since the war began, since Donald Trump's unlawful invasion.

149.797 - 175.99 Ben Meiselas

of iran began lots of people are saying that that facility was a patelco headquarters where amazon's web services and other interests are based this would be the country's largest telecommunications company and infrastructure and that's exactly what iran threatened that it was going to strike and it seems that it did meanwhile you have heavy airstrikes reported in iran's capital tehran throughout the morning

Chapter 2: How is Iran responding to U.S. military actions?

175.97 - 207.067 Ben Meiselas

Very heavy U.S. and Israel strikes there. In Beirut, in southern Lebanon, you had Israel blowing up an entire building complex. And as I've said before, in addition to going after Hezbollah, I mean, Israel has leveled. leveled southern Lebanon. I mean, brought it to the ground, killing tons of civilians in hospitals, medical providers, you know, and people in the surrounding areas.

207.488 - 226.439 Ben Meiselas

Take a look right here. This footage was filmed in southern Beirut, and it shows the moment that a building in the Zayed Rabbani Avenue was targeted by an Israeli strike. Purportedly, the IDF had issued a notice that they would be targeting this building earlier. And you can watch what happens here. Let's just play a short snippet of it.

228.341 - 243.76 Ben Meiselas

Okay, so while you have the Middle East on fire as a result of Donald Trump's catastrophic war, as Donald Trump is trying to escape after weakening the United States irreparably. I've done lots of videos on this. I'll do one in 90 minutes.

0

243.74 - 270.787 Ben Meiselas

How France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, other countries are not letting the US use their airspace or any of the military bases at all because, again, it's an unlawful and catastrophic war in those countries. were never consulted, nor was NATO consulted before Donald Trump and Netanyahu went alone and started bombing Iran and led to Iran now controlling the Strait of Hormuz.

271.208 - 292.245 Ben Meiselas

Also yesterday, I'll do another video on this today, you had Marco Rubio, Donald Trump, making social media posts and also saying in public statements and public addresses in the Oval Office and Marco Rubio on state regime media, which calls itself Fox, that they're basically done with NATO, that NATO refused to step up when the US needed.

292.265 - 296.292 Ben Meiselas

And after this war is over, why should the US even be a part of NATO?

296.272 - 318.364 Ben Meiselas

essentially nato is done right now i mean it was before um i guess it was nato in name only before but now the nato alliance seems to just be uh completely obliterated by the way we're talking about decimated obliterated decapitated it's nato and by the way putin cannot be happier xi jinping cannot be happier donald trump removing oil sanctions as you know against iran

318.344 - 346.039 Ben Meiselas

removing oil sanctions against russia russia making billions of dollars a day to help fund its invasion of ukraine russia's helping iran target american military bases in the region 13 american military bases in the middle east evacuated american military interests corporate interests continue to be struck iran continues to have its firm iron grip iron control over the strait of hormuz

346.019 - 365.176 Ben Meiselas

Iran's foreign minister, Arakchi, says, again, we're not having negotiations with the United States. We put forward our non-negotiables. They're sending us messages. And the message we're sending back is here are our non-negotiables. OK, we want reparations. We want to keep our ballistic missiles. We want to control the Strait of Hormuz.

Chapter 3: What recent attacks have occurred in the Middle East?

447.916 - 453.379 Ben Meiselas

I mean, this is just some of the most delusional and deranged stuff. Here's what he said in the Oval Office, play this clip.

0

453.54 - 458.21 Donald Trump

They don't have anything. Look at our military. The Democrats don't want that.

0

458.37 - 477.178 Ben Meiselas

And then he said in the Oval Office yesterday, he goes, you know, when I read the New York Times, you would think that Iran's putting up a good fight. They're not. They've been decimated. They've been obliterated. They're not doing anything. They quite literally are. I mean, again, what world is he and these MAGA Republicans living in? I'm showing you the videos. I'm showing you the photos.

0

477.799 - 498.63 Ben Meiselas

Who controls the Strait of Hormuz now, Donald? If you've decimated them, just go take the Strait of Hormuz. It should be easy. Why is the Islamic Republic and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard still in control if you've utterly obliterated? Where are the people protesting on the street saying that they want Donald and Netanyahu like you promised were going to happen?

0

498.751 - 517.576 Ben Meiselas

Yeah, that was never going to happen. Utterly deranged. And by the way, there were protesters who wanted to get rid of the regime back in January and you betrayed them. You threw them under the bus. You expect them right now to protest when you said that you would like to work with the Ayatollah while everybody clowns you and mocks you and laughs at you? What are you doing?

518.057 - 524.244 Ben Meiselas

Here's what he said about, you would think that they're putting up a good fight. They're not, we've decimated them. Play this clip.

524.264 - 549.022 Donald Trump

And when I read the fake New York Times, you take a look at it, it's like, oh, they're putting up a good fight. They're not putting up a fight. They're not even shooting at us, okay? We have planes, planes are just ruling the sky. We have airplanes. Those two, those two. We have a nice, right? Lincoln with a little modern touch. The great Benjamin Franklin with a little modern touch.

549.863 - 575.602 Donald Trump

But think of it. They are roaming the skies over Tehran. They're not even being shot at because their equipment's been totally decimated. They have nothing to shoot. We have, they have no Navy. They have no anything. And just think about this. They have no Navy. They have no military. They have no nothing. They're losing. They admit they're losing. They're begging to make a deal.

576.303 - 585.251 Donald Trump

And if you read the fake New York Times, a corrupt newspaper, where I'm suing them and I think I should do very well, but you would almost think, who's winning?

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Trump's decisions on NATO?
