Chapter 1: What triggered the recent conflict between the US and Iran?

0.031 - 26.188 Unknown

Donald Trump is panicking as Iran once again has successfully targeted a United States air base in Kuwait following the United States launching strikes against Iran throughout the night into the early morning hours. The United States and Iran were exchanging fire. This is a fake ceasefire, as I've said before, intended for Donald Trump's market manipulation.

26.609 - 50.934 Unknown

Let me tell you what's going down so we learned that there were missile and drone sirens that were activated in Kuwait. According to a release from the Kuwaiti army, Kuwait's air defenses were engaged in a large wave of Iranian missiles and drones. The Kuwaiti defense ministry told the public, remain sheltered in place, remain sheltered in place.

50.954 - 74.407 Unknown

Iran then said, oh, we hit the target that we were aiming for. right there, that U.S. air base in Kuwait, because they said that the United States was using that air base to strike Iran and that there was these outbreaks of this war that's been taking place totally covered up by our media right here. The U.S. had to admit what it was doing. Here's what went down.

74.588 - 94.928 Unknown

Iran's mayor news agency released a statement from the IRGC following these back and forth strikes. Here's the statement from the IRGC. The origin of the aggression against the Sirik Island Telecommunications Tower was targeted following the recent aggression by the invading U.S.

Chapter 2: How did Iran respond to the US airbase strikes?

95.108 - 118.716 Unknown

Army. against a telecommunications tower on shrik island in the hormizgan province the irgc aerospace force fighters targeted the airbase from which the aggression originated and the predicted targets were destroyed the irgc aerospace force warned that if the aggression is repeated

118.696 - 147.218 Unknown

The response will be completely different, and the responsibility lies with the invading and child-killing US regime. So you remember our reporting over the weekend, and I saw a lot of comments saying, Ben, are your reports true? Because I'm not hearing this anywhere else. You're talking about Iran striking down three to five US aircraft, an MQ-9 Reaper, another MQ-9 Reaper.

147.198 - 174.437 Unknown

and MQ-1, that there were five Americans who were injured on this Kuwaiti air base 48 hours ago. Why aren't we hearing this anywhere else? Because our corporate news is regime media, and they're covering up most of the stuff. That's why. And so this telecommunications tower has been used by Iran, among other things. They've been able to successfully track these F-35s and these drones online.

174.417 - 195.818 Unknown

So the U.S. struck the telecommunications towers, which were being used to track the MQ-9 Reapers and the MQ-1, and then Iran responded, and Iran just hit the U.S. air base in Kuwait. Now, U.S. Central Command was just forced to admit what went down. CENTCOM announced that over the weekend,

195.798 - 225.113 Unknown

It carried out what it refers to as, quote, several self-defense strikes on Iranian air defenses, radar, command and control sites, and one-way attack drones in Garuk, Iran, and Keshem Island. The strikes, which occurred Saturday and Sunday, were in response to what they said were recent aggressive actions by Iran to include the shooting down of a U.S. MQ-1 Predator,

225.093 - 253.063 Unknown

that was operating over the international waters of the Persian Gulf. So the United States says that we were put in our MQ-1 and MQ-9 Reapers over what the U.S. claims was international waters. Iran said these are our land. This is our area. And then they were struck down. And then the US said that we were acting defensive by attacking Iran yet again. This was defensive. This was not aggressive.

253.083 - 279.328 Unknown

We were on the defense by going on the offense. This is straight out of George Orwell's 1984. In fact, far more dangerous in my view. But then Iran responded and Iran just targeted the US air base and hit it again. Meanwhile, you have all Donald Trump's weirdo MAGA propagandists like Laura Loomer saying, it's time to finish the job. The back and forth is getting boring.

280.17 - 287.685 Unknown

The back and forth is getting boring? You know, the American people are suffering right now as a result of this catastrophic war.

Chapter 3: What claims did Iran make about their missile targets?

287.665 - 316.336 Unknown

and people across the world are suffering, and the Trump regime and Netanyahu have engaged in terrible war crimes in Iran, in Lebanon, genocide in Gaza. I mean, did you know that in the past 24 hours, 41 people were killed and 140 people were wounded in Israeli strikes across Lebanon on Saturday, which frankly should be called U.S.

0

316.516 - 352.169 Unknown

and Israeli strikes across Lebanon because Trump is green lighting this. According to Lebanon's health ministry, Israeli attacks have killed 3,412 people and wounded 10,269 others since Israel escalated its assault on March 2nd. And we've seen amongst these 41 people killed and 140 wounded, children, mothers, lots of innocent people. And again, that doesn't get any attention at all.

352.47 - 381.696 Unknown

That's right by the city of Tyre or Sur, and it is just beyond fathomable what's going on there. Every single day. And so Kelly Myers, reporter, she tried to ask Hegseth a question. She was there with Hegseth. Hegseth was on this Asia trip, the Shangri-La trip, and he was coming back and he was being asked these questions. And she goes, I tried to ask Hegseth,

381.676 - 410.044 Unknown

about this when he de-planed at JBA, but no comment as he walked to his car to leave. About five, this is what we're learning, we reported on this three days ago, five U.S. National Service members and contractors reportedly injured by, quote, falling debris from intercepted Iranian missiles on the Ali al-Salam air base in Kuwait. Falling debris that they think we're the stupidest people.

0

410.084 - 414.909 Unknown

I'm sure that's what happened. It was the falling debris No, what happened was the u.s.

414.989 - 436.05 Unknown

Targeted Iran Iran responded they hit Ali al-salim our service members who were at this airbase once again were not protected because our Trump this Trump regime is utterly incompetent and five people were seriously injured at least and it's probably more than that because the Trump regime covers up everything and

436.03 - 458.445 Unknown

And now Hegseth, who is saying that he doesn't want to see, quote, fatties at the UFC fight that will be taking place in the White House lawn where they've like ripped apart the White House for this UFC fight. No fatties, they say. And remember the video I did yesterday? No one wants to be affiliated with this sick Epstein class weird event for Trump's birthday.

458.645 - 486.237 Unknown

Even Rogan's like, this is a terrible idea, this event. But Hegseth refuses to answer a very basic question about that. Now, Iran's leadership, they're issuing numerous warnings right now. You have Iran's main spokesperson at the IRGC saying, �If Netanyahu does not stop his genocidal war in Lebanon, the collapse of the American economy will begin in June.�

486.217 - 511.532 Unknown

Now, you may be like, well, what does he know about the American economy in June? It's IRGC. That's IRGC propaganda. No, one of the top Exxon executives said that if this war, if this catastrophic war is not resolved by Donald Trump in the next week to week and a half, we will see the biggest oil shock ever.

Chapter 4: What did the US Central Command admit regarding their operations?

948.155 - 971.142 Unknown

This secret to victory must be preserved. So that's what they're saying out of Iran. Donald Trump's posting, the New York Times wrote a story today entitled, The Trump Administration Sees Striking Exodus of Legal Talent as Though It's a Bad Thing, When Actually It's a Good Thing. The People That Are Leaving a Radical Left Deep State Lunatics. Or Donald Trump posted this before.

971.542 - 993.963 Unknown

Fake news CNN today routinely that my Iran said today routinely that my Iran nuclear deal doesn't talk about nuclear when it actually states very clearly that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. It then goes on in very strong and lengthy detail to discuss various other aspects of nuclear. In fact, that's what most of this agreement is about.

0

994.464 - 1018.434 Unknown

CNN and so many others in the fake news media is a low ratings disaster. Even with new ownership, it is unlikely to even get any better. Donald Trump trying to have his oligarchs take over CNN in this merger. I'll also note that Iran has restored gas production at three South Pars offshore platforms after those U.S.-Israeli strikes. which the US was like, oh, it was just Israeli.

0

1018.895 - 1044.236 Unknown

Iran resumed gas production at three offshore platforms in South Pars, the world's largest natural gas field. After Israeli strikes on onshore processing facilities in March, forced output to halt. The CEO of pars oil and gas company told state media on Sunday. So that's where we are with everything right there. We'll keep you posted. We just need to, we need to get out the accurate information.

1044.918 - 1067.821 Unknown

That's why we take this step by step. And, you know, Trump's out there posting over, you don't know my deal. Well, I showed you, you were saying, you've been saying there's a deal since March. And this is just like what he did during COVID with kind of the same timeline, right? Was that March of 2020? It's going away. It's going away. It's going away. We're good. April. It'll be gone by Easter.

1067.941 - 1088.598 Unknown

It'll be gone by summer. It'll be gone then. It'll be gone then. That's what they were saying. It's the same stuff. This is his cycle that he does over and And over again, except in 2020, he lost the election. And then finally, someone who was competent was able to take over. But the arsonists blamed the firefighter for putting out the arson. Right now, there's midterms coming up.

1088.658 - 1109.287 Unknown

But, you know, is he going to drag this on forever? Are we going to have to wait for this oil shock? and a complete global catastrophe that we're literally, we're like a week away from it. And I'm not trying to be hyperbolic. I've been keeping us informed every step of the way. We're like a week away from this happening. And then everyone's going to be like, oh my God, it happened.

1109.307 - 1129.19 Unknown

Who would have known? Us. We all knew. We all knew this was happening. And he keeps on striking Iran. Dude, just get out of there. Just leave. You lost the war. Get out and leave already, man. Or enter into a deal, but leave. Okay? Stop harassing everybody. Freaking predator. Hit subscribe.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the US's defensive strikes on Iran?

1129.21 - 1131.553 Unknown

Let's get to 7 million. Thanks for watching, everybody.
