Chapter 1: What caused Iran to strike back at the US Airbase?

0.031 - 27.097 Ben Meiselas

Donald Trump is panicking as Iran did not hesitate to strike back and strike back hard. It did against the United States Air Force Base in Kuwait. This followed the United States striking the Hormuz coastal city of Bandar Abbas at 1.30 a.m. Iranian time. Three hours later, Iran launched its own strikes against this United States Air Force Base in Kuwait.

Donald Trump has simply posted a photo of an AI image involving the reflecting pool that he keeps on talking about over and over again. Let's break down what went down.

39.08 - 63.906 Ben Meiselas

so around 4 30 a.m kuwait's army said its air defenses were intercepting hostile missile and drone attacks warning residents that any explosion sounds are the result of air defense systems engaging incoming threats then we got this statement from the iranian revolutionary guard corps announcing that it carried out a drone and missile attack

63.886 - 75.5 Ben Meiselas

in the morning against an American air base in Kuwait and promising additional retaliation if the United States continued to violate the ceasefire. This is the statement from the IRGC.

Chapter 2: How did the US respond to the missile and drone attacks?

76.04 - 98.394 Ben Meiselas

IRGC targets American air base. They ain't hiding it. They're leaning into it. They write, following the early morning attack today by the invading U.S. Army, on a point near Bandar Abbas Airport with aerial projectiles. The American air base, as the origin of the aggression, was targeted at 4.30, 4.50 a.m.

0

98.795 - 109.975 Ben Meiselas

The IRGC public relations issued a statement in the name of Allah, the commander of the Compellers. So if they attack you, attack them in the same way that they attack you.

0

109.955 - 135.253 Ben Meiselas

you have iran's revolutionary guard spokesperson abraham wrote the following any other american attacks will lead to a more decisive response the further comment from the iranian revolutionary guard is following this aggressive attack we responded by striking the air force this response serves as a stern warning to inform the enemy that its attacks will not go unanswered

0

Chapter 3: What statements did the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps release?

135.233 - 159.449 Ben Meiselas

And if repeated, our response will be more decisive. The responsibility for the consequences lies with the aggressor. So remember the sequence of events? 1.30 a.m. Iranian time, three loud explosions heard east of the Strait of Hormuz coastal city of Bandar Abbas. Then the U.S. officials confirmed the U.S. carried out defensive operations. That's how the U.S.

0

159.569 - 181.527 Ben Meiselas

referred to it as defensive operations in striking Bandar Abbas, claiming that the U.S. will act to safeguard its regional interests. And this does not affect the ceasefire. They said, yes, we're striking Iran. It's defensive. Ceasefire still on everybody. We cool with the ceasefire still on Iran. So here is how Iran, though, said the event.

0

181.547 - 195.009 Ben Meiselas

I just want to, again, I want to go through the sequence of events because the United States corporate media is saying there's a ceasefire, everything's fine, everything's normal. That's not what's happening, okay? The Trump regime's CENTCOM is covering up what's happening.

0

Chapter 4: What events led up to the attacks on the US Airbase?

195.029 - 204.205 Ben Meiselas

They're covering up the fact that Iran struck down an MQ-9 Reaper the other day, the drone that we talked about, that Iran was able to lock into an F-35 drone.

0

204.185 - 229.416 Ben Meiselas

on its radar when the f-35 are supposed to be not detectable and so while donald trump's out there you know basically saying uh you know we're gonna bomb oman next right he threatened to bomb oman or donald trump's like we can do it the easy way or the hard way and as donald trump keeps on changing the terms of deals i want to do a deal i don't want to do a deal you know donald trump had the

229.396 - 251.067 Ben Meiselas

United States military tried to help some cargo ships out. And then when Iran caught the tankers and cargo ships leaving, then the United States did these small strikes in Iran. And Iran's like, OK, well, you do that to us during the ceasefire. We're going to hit your Air Force base. And that's what went down. And so Tasnim News says, OK, this is what went down around 1.30 a.m.,

0

251.047 - 273.406 Ben Meiselas

The IRGC Navy intercepted an American oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz after the vessel allegedly attempted to pass through with its radar system turned off. According to the report, Iranian naval forces opened warning fire, forcing the tanker to stop and turn back. Tasmin says the explosions heard overnight around Bandar Abbas were linked to a subsequent U.S.

response claiming American forces fired at a scorched area near the city after the incident. Iranian media outlets earlier reported multiple explosions and temporary air defense activation in eastern Bandar Dabas around 1.30 a.m., The Iranian account claims there were no casualties or material losses.

295.146 - 317.263 Ben Meiselas

A senior US official told Axios that Iran attempted to strike a US commercial vessel with four one-way drones, prompting US forces to shoot them down and reportedly strike another Iranian drone unit on land before launch. Now, what we thought was going to happen over the weekend, although with Donald Trump, you know, it's always going to never be what actually is said is going to happen.

317.964 - 336.012 Ben Meiselas

We thought that we were moving close to a deal. Then Netanyahu called Donald Trump. They had a conversation. And then Donald Trump said, look, we can't do any deal with Iran unless all of the Arab nations now form alliances with Israel. all Arab nations need to join the Abraham Accords.

336.353 - 360.827 Ben Meiselas

Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, Pakistan, you must join the Abraham Accords, become allies with Israel, and then maybe we can enter into a peace deal with Iran. And Iran's like, I thought we kind of agreed to the deal. Weren't you going to give us the $24 billion, $12 billion we're going to be sent to us right away. You are going to allow us to control the Strait of Hormuz.

361.127 - 383.89 Ben Meiselas

We would open up the Strait of Hormuz. I thought we agreed to all of the terms. Donald Trump said, no, we never agreed to all of those terms. And then yet again, at this cabinet meeting that took place yesterday, Donald Trump said, we need all of the Arab nations to formally join the Abraham Accords if we're going to do a deal. Here's what Donald Trump said. Let's play this clip right here.

Chapter 5: How does Trump's rhetoric affect US-Iran relations?

400.492 - 421.538 Donald Trump

immediately join the, and Steve Witkoff is working on that with Jared and some others, but would like to have them join the Abraham Accords. It'll be historic if they do it. I think they, I think they owe that to us, to be honest. I think, because that really would be a tremendous sign. And I think those countries owe it to us. Steve, are you going to get them to sign?

421.687 - 432.263 Ben Meiselas

And then you had Lindsey Graham going on state regime media, which called itself Fox. And Lindsey Graham says, oh, this is so brilliant. Donald Trump is so brilliant for coming up with this. Here, play this clip.

0

432.524 - 452.235 Lindsey Graham

Sir, my phone is ringing off the hook. My phone is ringing off the hook because he said I should link the two. He's saying to the Arabs, look what I've done for you. He saved MBS. He's the best friend Israel's ever had. Everybody in the region should rally around the idea of adding Saudi Arabia and other countries to the Abraham Accords.

0

452.596 - 464.637 Lindsey Graham

It would change the makeup of the Mideast in a way that nobody could envision just a year ago. It would change the Mideast for the better. The biggest change in thousands of years to our Arab allies.

0

464.617 - 493.51 Lindsey Graham

you need to help president trump you need to embrace the fact that it's now time to end the arab israeli conflict make peace with israel build on the abraham accords and if you say no to him you say no at your own peril and then lindsey graham says that we should change the name of a nobel peace prize to the trump peace prize if uh the arab nations all agreed to join the abraham accords here play this clip you get nothing out of this interview other than trump endorsed me

493.49 - 510.872 Lindsey Graham

If he can pull this off, if he can get Saudi Arabia, the center of Islam, for the entire world to recognize the Jewish state Israel, he'll have ended the Arab-Israeli conflict that's been going on for thousands of years. They should change the Nobel Prize to the Trump Prize.

511.512 - 520.864 Lindsey Graham

If he can do that, and I think he can, it's the biggest change in the history, in the modern history, and in the ancient history of the Mideast.

520.844 - 541.465 Ben Meiselas

But the Arab nations aren't going to join the Abraham Accords. They made it very clear they're not joining the Abraham Accords. They've said that over and over again. And so it's just Donald Trump injecting a new term that is absolutely never going to be agreed to. I mean, we got the statement back from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and Turkey and others right away saying, no, we're not doing that.

541.846 - 546.21 Ben Meiselas

This is what a Saudi source told Haaretz, which is an Israeli paper.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Trump's demands on Arab nations?

606.669 - 623.886 Donald Trump

Nobody's going to control it. We're going to watch over it. We'll watch over it, but nobody's going to control it. That's part of the negotiation that we have. They would like to control it. Nobody's going to control it. It's international waters and Oman will behave just like everybody else who will have to blow them up. They understand that. They'll be fine.

623.866 - 648.102 Ben Meiselas

Now, the Sultan of Oman, Haitham bin Tariq, then signed an executive decree ordering Oman to increase its volume of trade and economic relations with Iran, Iranian State TV reported. Oman also replaced the heads of some of its bank branches to expedite transactions with Iranian traders, according to the IRGC-affiliated Far News.

0

648.082 - 668.826 Ben Meiselas

In other words, as Donald Trump continues down this path, it's having the exact opposite reaction. It's weakening the United States in the Middle East. The United States has completely lost its security umbrella in the Middle East. China is now moving in as basically a guarantor there, if you will. And you have all of these nations forming bilateral deals with Iran.

0

668.866 - 690.527 Ben Meiselas

Now, during this White House cabinet meeting as well, Donald Trump continued to threaten Iran. He pointed to Hegseth and he goes, if you don't make a deal with me, the guy on my left, he's going to finish you off. He's going to finish you off. And again, this is not conducive to any sort of productive negotiations or discussions. But here's what Donald Trump said.

0

690.587 - 693.31 Ben Meiselas

It's really disgusting stuff here. Play this clip right here.

693.391 - 698.603 Unknown

state of the talks with Iran? I guess if it were a football field, what yard line would you be on?

698.623 - 708.565 Donald Trump

Well, I think we're doing very well. I think they're starting to give us the things that they have to give us. And if they do, that's great. And if they won't, then the man on my left is going to finish them off.

708.798 - 732.561 Ben Meiselas

And we heard from Iran's parliament national security leader, Ibrahim Azizi. He said the following, Iran will not back down from its red lines, such as the right to enrichment and enriched uranium management of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of sanctions in the face of Trump's rhetoric. Everyone now knows that Trump, in order to save himself from strategic deadlock,

732.541 - 751.849 Ben Meiselas

resorts to the tool of threats one day and begs for an agreement the next. A representative of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojave Khomeini said the following, negotiators of the IRGC know that you represent a victorious nation. The enemy's plan is to pit us against each other,

Chapter 7: How is the US military's strategy evolving in the Middle East?

797.181 - 817.024 Ben Meiselas

Now Donald Trump is trying to criminally prosecute her. He's launched a criminal investigation saying she lied under oath in the case. Mind you, a case where Donald Trump was too scared to even show up at his federal trial. I remember he was in like Scotland and Ireland during the trial and didn't even show up. And he said that she perjured herself.

0

817.064 - 828.58 Ben Meiselas

She did not perjure herself, according to the Second Circuit and to the federal judge and to the jury, but they are criminally prosecuting her. I just want you to think about how sick this Epstein class is.

0

828.86 - 849.186 Ben Meiselas

This Epstein class that's involved in these endless foreign wars, the coverup of the Epstein files, and now Donald Trump is going after E. Jean Carroll, according to these reports, in a criminal prosecution or a criminal investigation. It hasn't reached the prosecution stage yet. in a criminal investigation. That's how Donald Trump is spending his time right now.

0

849.627 - 872.151 Ben Meiselas

I mean, while weakening the United States abroad like this, it's just so utterly sickening. And then he has his henchmen, his sycophants, like Stephen Miller, go on state regime media, which calls itself Fox. And he's like, the American people understand we inherited hell, but Trump is giving you paradise. Giving you paradise? What are you talking about? Here, play this clip.

0

872.215 - 893.402 Stephen Miller

A second point, Sean, is the American people understand the hell that we inherited and the extraordinary paradise that President Trump is building. From record inflation that we had under President Biden to the cost of living going down faster than it has ever gone down before. From unaffordable energy to the great American energy boom.

Chapter 8: What are the latest developments regarding Trump's legal issues?

893.702 - 901.632 Ben Meiselas

And then in the ultimate form of projection and confession, you had Stephen Miller say the following. Here, play this clip.

0

901.612 - 917.224 Stephen Miller

Democrats rioting to defend pedophiles, rapists, murderers, and the scum of the earth that ISIS are moving from our streets, instead of supporting the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol that President Trump has dispatched to make America safer than ever before.

917.423 - 944.894 Ben Meiselas

And then it should also be noted yesterday that the CDC sent an urgent request to its workforce to recruit personnel to help screen passengers coming from Central Africa for any potential signs of Ebola illness. According to an internal email to staff obtained by ABC News, They're looking for volunteers in the CDC because the Trump regime gutted the CDC. They gutted the Ebola task force.

0

944.914 - 965.065 Ben Meiselas

They've gutted our ability to deal with international pandemics and health issues. And now Ebola is spreading rapidly in the Congo and there's no resources out there because Trump and Musk and everybody through Doge destroyed all of that. So that's what we got going on throughout the world right now. We'll keep you posted every step of the way.
