Iran has launched what appears to be one of its biggest retaliatory strikes since the war began against the Trump regime striking multiple US air bases in Jordan. This follows the Trump regime publishing video that it struck at least five Iranian oil tankers in the strait of Hormuz. Also the IRGC is saying that the Trump regime also targeted two Iranian naval ships. Now Iran responded right away shooting dozens of ballistic missiles into the United States

bases in the region. We've seen a number of direct hits. We've seen the IRGC use cluster munitions with a great degree of success. I'll show you some of that footage. We also saw some of those castle breaker missiles. We've been talking about those new ballistic missiles which can change direction in the air. And we saw those strike US military bases in the region. Iran is claiming that they were able to obliterate numerous US military assets in the region. Number of US planes. I'll go over exactly what they are claiming. And what we saw Iran do is do multiple waves of these ballistic missile strikes. The first wave we saw a lot of US interceptors appearing to have been used. And then after that the second wave less interceptors by the third and fourth wave of the Iranian ballistic missile strikes, those castle breakers and some of the other ballistics.

There were no interceptors to be found. Those cluster munitions were hitting their targets with impunity. The castle breakers were hitting their targets with impunity. There was no interceptors to be found by the fourth wave. So here you see Senkham publishing this video footage saying it destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers right there. I showed you some of that B-roll at the top of the video where you can see for yourself what a lot of the what the skies looked like as Iran was responding. And in terms of the bases that were being hit, we're talking about in Jordan, Moafik al-Saltier base near al-Azrak. Iran was using some of those Korshmur ballistic missiles. We saw some of the other bases being struck in the region as well. And we'll get there in a moment also. So let's take a look over here at some of the strikes by Iran over here. You will see some of the strikes.

Let's play this clip right here. More footage over here. This footage was recorded by a wildlife photographer in Jordan. This is the King phasel airbase being struck. Let's play this clip right here. We move out from here to see the tavern. Yes, it works.

Here we have video footage from Iran most likely recorded in the city of Yazd showing the moment of launch of what appears to be one of these Karashmar 3 or 4 ballistic missiles equipped with cluster munitions from the IRGC here let's play this clip. Take a look at this video showing the many of Iran's missiles making direct hits at Moafik salty airbase.

This was by the third or fourth wave. I counted 40-50 maybe as many as 60-70 ballistic missiles being used by Iran. They still have a huge arsenal and you'll see over here this huge strike with very little interceptors at this point play this clip. Very important source of hope. up footage of Iran launching a ballistic missile. Again, multiple direct hits in Jordan. You can see this one for yourself. Let's play it.

Then the IRGC Aerospace Force released this footage showing the mass launch of Iman, Qadar, Kiber-Shakin ballistic missiles at Muawfiq Al-Salti Air Base in Jordan. The IRGC claims that the strike successfully destroyed multiple F-15, F-16, F-35 fighter jets of the U.S. Air Force and National Guard deployed at the base. Play this clip.

Saturday nights with my wife and friends, Sunday mornings with my kids, those are both non-negotiables. Z-biotics pre-alcohol is the small thing I added that made the whole weekend easier. Z-biotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to break down Aceteldehyde, a byproduct of drinking alcohol. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme that is designed to break down this byproduct. Pre-alcohol your first drink to the night, drink responsibly, and enjoy your next day activities. Z-biotics has sold more than 14 million bottles and earn the trust of thousands, including us. For me, it fits perfectly into the routine. If I'm going out and having a couple drinks, I drink Z-biotics first, pace myself, hydrate, and I can still get up the next morning and spend that time with my family. Try for yourself today. If you're unsatisfied, they will refund

your entire order. No questions asked. Head to zbiotics.com slash mitus code mitus for 15% off your first order. That's zbiotics.com slash mitus code mitus for 15% off your first order M-E-I-D-A-S. I'll show you this B-roll right here. As I noted, the third and fourth waves of ballistic missile strikes by the IRGC Aerospace Force against the US military right here at the Royal Jordanian Air Base is now underway. You'll see by this wave very little resistance and then as noted and entirely expected due to the low availability of the interceptors, those Patriot Pactory Interceptor batteries, the US was unable to launch enough interceptors to shoot down all the incoming Iranian ballistic missiles. How tip to Babak Tak Vig for aggregating a lot of the stuff. The IRGC's ballistic missiles launch that Moafik al-Salt to play the B-roll,

Princesson Air Base and King Faisal Air Base. They're on point. They are hitting their targets. These videos that you're seeing over here were actually recorded in the West Bank showing the Iranian ballistic missiles going towards their targets over there. Take a look at this video showing a successful strike by the IRGC Aerospace Force on King Faisal in Jordan tonight. The Air Base is currently hosting 6C-17A Global Master Heavy Transport Aircrafts of the US Air Force and the Air National Guard. I'll play this video as well showing the ballistic missile launches from Isfahan right here. You can see it for yourself. Now earlier Marco Rubio said the following about Iran, this came directly from Marco Rubio. Let's play what Marco Rubio had to say. Can you speak about the US strikes on the Iranian tankers and explain what the back of the

war has been in the last 24 hours? Yeah, the back and forth is pretty straightforward and that is that Iran continues to try to hit US naval ships and for every time they do that or try to do that, they're going to lose tankers. And I think you'll see that again today. And you have a little bit more. More close-up footage of Iranian missiles versus the interceptors in the skies of Jordan. You can see for yourself right here as well. And what is Donald Trump doing while all of this is taking place? Moments ago he posted very dumb and unhappy fake news, CNN reporter Caitlin Collins held a panel where discussions were all fiction and lies. You would think that CNN, which is suffering terribly in ratings, would get rid of their third rate anchors. What else did he post? Trump's unusual role that midterm convention revealed as schedule goes public. And Trump wants everybody to know the Republican National Convention tomorrow night in Dallas is really hot. The American Airlines Center home to the Mavericks is totally sold out. We actually know they're trying to give away tickets for free. We don't need people who are up 45

points and have been in office for 30 years. We love them all anyway. I'll be speaking tomorrow night and then I'll be closing it out. Then he attacks Canada. Everyone knows that Canada doesn't let our great dairy farmer sell into the Canadian market and that the only reason Canada makes autos is because of the previous disastrous trade agreements while other presidents were in office. The last trade agreement was you, you idiot. The last agreement was you and then of course his various memes of bombing Carr Gailin and all of the stuff. Remember earlier today the Trump regime struck those ships off of Carr Gailin. Iran has then responded as you saw in this video. We'll keep you posted every step of the way. Hit subscribe.
