Chapter 1: What is Donald Trump's stance on the Iran war?
donald trump is panicking and he appears ready to surrender to iran donald trump called up cbs an hour or so ago and he spoke to weijia jang over there and trump said i think the iran war is pretty much complete he says pretty complete pretty complete they have no navy
no communications they've got no air force he says the united states is very far ahead of its initial four to five week estimated time frame when asked about iran's new supreme leader mojtaba kameni who trump is openly criticizing trump's like we won i have no message for him none whatsoever uh donald trump said that he had someone in mind to replace komini not
Mojtaba, but he said that he's not going to discuss it now. As for the Strait of Hormuz, Donald Trump said things are great, ships are moving through it, but he's thinking about maybe taking it over himself. And then Trump warned Iran that they've shot everything they have to shoot and they better not try anything cute or it's going to be the end of that country.
Now, obviously, Donald Trump called Weijia Jiang over at CBS and to try to manipulate the markets which were crashing predictably he manipulated the markets the s p erased its losses we saw the markets rise on donald trump saying that essentially the united states is surrendering to iran the u.s has not achieved any of the goals that the trump regime stated which is
Chapter 2: How does Trump plan to manipulate market reactions?
get rid of the regime. In fact, we put in someone even more extreme than the original Ayatollah Khomeini. We put in his son, Motaba, who's more extreme. We do not eliminate, you know, their ballistic missile threat. We do not eliminate their ability to enrich uranium. But when Donald Trump surrenders, when he taps out, some people have called it taco, the markets actually perform better.
So here he's doing that. And the markets reacted. The S&P erased all of its losses.
Chapter 3: What was discussed during Trump's call with Putin?
Oil prices started declining, right? The oil prices were reaching $115 per barrel, and they declined like 30%, which is what Donald Trump wanted. As Julia Luff says, Weijia, you're an amazing reporter, but we all understand that Trump called her, he called you this afternoon,
so that he could report this vague but promising comment in the afternoon so that the markets would rally and erase the day's drops.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of oil prices on U.S.-Iran relations?
Like, you realize that, right? Now, one of the things that we learned as well is that before Donald Trump announced that I guess he's essentially declaring the war to be a victory and that everything is great, Donald Trump spoke with Putin today. And Donald Trump, in this phone call with Putin,
heard from Putin where Putin shared his proposal how to end the war quickly and how Putin thinks that this war should be brought to an end. The Kremlin, notably Putin, released the first readout of the call, which Trump, no one from his Trump's regime disputes,
And so Putin was very quick to say, Donald called me and I'm going to be working with Donald to figure out a solution now to end the war in Iran. Just want you to think about how utterly dangerous that is, especially when you account for the fact of how well Russia has done in this war, right?
These surging prices of oil created a windfall for Russia, especially as the United States dropped a lot of critical sanctions against Russia, allowing it to sell oil. And by the way, after that phone call with Putin, we learned that the Trump regime is considering removing much more sanctions, allowing Russia to sell more oil potentially to other places.
So just, again, process all of this together because it all needs to be taken in context with each other. Now, John Hudson writes, so which is it? This is, quote, just the beginning of the U.S. war in Iran, which is what Hegseth, Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense, told 60 Minutes on Friday. Or the war in Iran is very much complete. We're pretty much done, as Trump told Weijia from CBS today.
Just so you can see the data points. Here is Hegseth on 60 Minutes on the Iran war. Just so you see for yourself. Let's play it.

Chapter 5: How has the new Iranian supreme leader impacted the conflict?
What was the Iranian Navy is largely no more. There'll be more boats to be sunk for sure. So their ability to project any power in that area in a naval sense is diminishing. diminishing and will be increasingly diminished. Again, what I want your viewers to understand is this is only just the beginning. Here's another clip of Hegseth from that same interview. Let's play this clip right here.
But I would also remind your audience it's early. It's six days into this campaign. Six days.
Chapter 6: What are the current military losses for the U.S. in Iran?
So we're going to have a lot more options over time on critical waterways like that to ensure that we can safeguard them and make sure safe passage.
Also, it should be noted that France's President Macron stated earlier that he expects the war to last a few more weeks. Iran has a say in when this is going to end. And when you've heard from the Iranian foreign ministers and the Iranian National Security Council advisors and leaders, they say they don't plan on
stopping their actions in the region anytime soon in response to Donald Trump and Israel attacking Iran. I mean, we're learning this morning, for example, according to CBS News and two US officials with knowledge on the matter, the US lost two additional MQ-9 Reaper drones during operations against Iran, bringing the total losses of MQ-9s during the conflict with Iran to 11.
And these are massively expensive drones, the MQ-9s, and we've lost 11 of them so far. We're learning that the Israeli officials are growing concerned about the escalating war with Iran and suggested possible exit ramps. This is per the Washington Post.
Chapter 7: What does Trump mean by calling the war an 'excursion'?
Details include exit ramps are being discussed amid concerns over the region and the global economy. Talk of an endgame is early, and the decision, Israel says, is with Trump. Trump has wavered among several conceptions of the outcome. I'm not sure it is in our interest to fight until the regime is toppled, said an Israeli official.
We posted this on the Midas Touch account, this photo of Donald Trump, with what he said to CBS. I think the Iran war is pretty much complete. He's in front of the mission accomplished banner right there. And one of the things that Trump has also said, and I mentioned it before, is that he's now considering taking over the Strait of Hormuz himself, whatever that's supposed to mean.
The Department of Defense, which calls itself the Department of War, posted the following. We have only just begun to fight after Donald Trump said our mission is largely complete. Alex Ward reports the following. Trump has told aides he would back the killing of the new Iranian supreme leader, Mojtaba Khomeini, if he proves unwilling to cede to U.S.
demands, such as ending Iran's nuclear development, current and former U.S. officials say. The White House declined to comment, but Trump on Monday told the New York Post he was not happy that Khomeini was selected to lead Iran. He called Khomeini unacceptable. I'm not going through this to end up with another Khomeini, Trump told Time magazine last week.
Israel would likely execute an operation aimed at taking out Khomeini. who was named as the supreme leader on sunday a current and former u.s official said noting that israel is taking the lead on targeting iranian leaders right there so you've got that then donald trump moments ago gave a speech at the republican retreat at his resort in doral
As the Republicans, of course, all go there while we're in this war, while Congress refuses to work or do its Article One duties, they're hanging out with Donald Trump and using their money to pay for hotels at Trump's resort at the Doral in Miami.

Chapter 8: How does the Iranian leadership view negotiations with the U.S.?
And then Donald Trump said the following on Iran. He called the war an excursion. This is just a short-term excursion. You can see how weak his language is here.
Better, stronger, and our country is doing really well. I mean, at a level that nobody thought. We took a little excursion because we felt we had to do that to get rid of some evil. And I think you'll see it's going to be a short-term excursion. How good is our military, right? Amazing. How good. Short term. Short term. Thank you. They're great.
Then Donald Trump lies and says that, you know, if we didn't do this in Iran in a week, they would have deployed nuclear weapons all over the Middle East. Play this clip.
Had we not done the B2 raid and if we not done this one where we said, nope, it's time to go in, we have to go in, have no choice. Number one, if we didn't go in, they would have come in after us because I see the Democrats trying to justify it. And they're failing because the voter on the street is saying, you've got to be kidding.
But I see where they're going, where they're always saying, no, no, there was no reason. Well, I'll give you the best reason of all. Within a week, they were gonna attack us 100%. They were ready. They had all these missiles, far more than anyone thought, and they were gonna attack us. But they were gonna attack all of the Middle East and Israel.
And if they had a nuclear weapon, they would have used it on Israel. And this was gonna be a major attack. They had all of those missile sites and all those launches that we got rid of, about 80% of them right now, by the way, got rid of.
He starts making noises. Play the clip.
It's the easiest thing we have. I can't. It's the easiest thing we have.
He then says that Chuck Schumer is a registered Palestinian. And then Donald Trump says that the Iranian people are quite nasty, referring to Iranians in general. As a general matter, he refers to the people of Iran as quite nasty. Yeah, I don't think you are helping your cause, Donald, of building any kind of coalitions in Iran when you say they're quite nasty. Here, play this clip.
