This is Ben on Breaking News. I'm Ben Mycelis, and this is your Breaking News. Moments ago, Donald Trump held a deranged press conference in the Oval Office where he bragged about how Iran gave him a very secret prize, a very valuable gift that Donald Trump says he was very grateful for. He doesn't want to talk about what the gift is, but he got a present, he said. Now, this follows 24 hours before where Donald Trump said his plan is to create a joint venture agreement, like an LLC, if you will. with the ayatollah to jointly control the straight of her moves donald trump and his new buddy the ayatollah working together donald trump said to the press when he was on a tarmac heading to tennessee where he went to graceland and in a very deranged fashion i did a video on it started autographing elvis's guitar and started
acting as though Elvis was alive today.
What recent event prompted Donald Trump's press conference?
It was very, very bizarre. You had Pete Hegseth at this press conference in the Oval Office saying that basically, we don't negotiate except with bombs. That's how we negotiate, with bombs. And meanwhile, the Iranian regime is like mocking Donald Trump. and his regime, they've been posting photographs of like a car that has like the steering wheel. I'll read you this one in a moment. There's another one where they had like a car with like an actual steering wheel, but then like the baby steering wheel on the passenger side. And they were like, Donald Trump and the Ayatollah will work on the Strait of Hormuz together. then the iran embassy from south africa they posted like a fake signal message and the reason of course why they use signal is because they probably have hacked into all of these signal messages of the trump regime officials but regardless they say uh good and productive talks with iran and they mock donald trump having a conversation with himself
on signal where Donald Trump's like, hey, Ayatollah, let's talk about the straight for sure. Oh, that's good to hear. OK, I will cease attacks for five days. Thank you for your attention to this matter. And it's basically left on read like there is no response to Donald Trump's message. If you pull it up one more time, it actually says on top, it says President of Peace is who he's is who it's from. President of Peace. I mean, again, that's what they're doing in Iran. I mean, we can look at some of the objective facts because we know that Donald Trump lies about everything and or does this to manipulate the markets, both. The guy lies about every word. I suppose if there was a superpower, although I don't mean it in a positive sense, it's that how could literally every word and syllable be laced with a lie?
It's an impressive quality that quite literally all you spew all day is an imaginary world.
What bizarre claims did Trump make about Iran during the press conference?
but that it is based on forcing others to bend to the reality of your imaginary world. And I guess the frustration, we'll be putting it lightly, the panic that the Trump regime is having with Iran is Iran is saying, no, we're not doing that. We're not agreeing to any of these things. No. We're not gonna give up the Strait of Hormuz. Why would we? We control it with an iron fist now. You've already removed sanctions on our oil, which we never had lifted before. We're making billions of dollars. We created a toll in the Strait of Hormuz. Countries like India, have to negotiate with us bilaterally right now, and then their ships can pass. China negotiating with us bilaterally. We are increasing our penetration rate of ballistic missiles, and Iran has rolled out these cluster munitions right now that they've been using.
where they shoot less missiles by far. And one of the reasons is the U.S. has been able to strike a lot of the ballistic missile launchers in Iran. But Iran also has shifted tactics, and they figured, why do we even need to shoot so many ballistic missiles if we can just shoot one or two a day at the right location, be more precise with it, and disrupt massive amounts of trade? We're just going to keep on doing that every day while we control the Strait of Hormuz.
