Donald Trump is losing it as Iran's leadership is ghosting him.

Earlier today, Donald Trump said that he has made significant progress

in ending his disastrous and unlawful war in Iran.

After he made a 48-hour ultimatum demand to Iran,

get out of the straight of her moves,

or else we will blow up all of the civilian energy infrastructure in Iran.

Iran responded, we will not submit to those threats,

and we will blow up all the civilian energy infrastructure

and desalination facilities of the Arab nation,

neighbors of ours.

If you do that, we will cause total annihilation in the region.

And then earlier this morning,

right before the markets were about to open,

Donald Trump manipulated said markets,

oil markets, the stock market, the bond market,

by saying we basically have a deal in principle to end the war in Iran.

And then Donald Trump held a bizarre press conference

from the tarmac in Florida saying that he and the Ayatollah

would jointly control the straight of her moves together,

and that there were 15 points in the negotiation

that were being ironed out, but they were very, very close.

And then Iranian official after Iranian official

denied that any of these communications had taken place either directly

or indirectly.

So then the Trump regime said, well, actually,

the conversations are happening with the guy named MB Galabaf,

who's the president and the head of Iran's parliament.

And he responded and said,

and said, nope, these conversations are not happening at all.

Then Donald Trump's been in Tennessee today,

talking about how much he loves Elvis,

and also basically saying that he has this relationship with Tennessee,

where he tried to imply almost like it's better

than sexual relationships, very bizarre behavior again

from a deranged and demented person.

And this says it's increasingly clear

that the 82nd airborne division in the United States military

is now heading over to the middle east,

including the very elite paratrooper group there.

So here's what Abbas Aciani reports.

A very well-sourced Iranian journalist,

as Laura Rosen puts it,

a well-sourced Iranian journalist says

that the US proposed via intermediaries

to now do talks between JD vans

and Iran's parliamentary speaker, Galabaf,

but Iran has not yet responded.

I'll just read you what Abbas Aciani writes,

breaking US via intermediaries

has proposed these talks between JD vans

and Iran's parliament speaker, Galabaf.

Iran has not responded to the idea yet.

The idea seemingly stems from deep-seated Iranian distrust

of Steve Whitkoff and his involvement

in any negotiation process.

Well, I have news for you, JD vans is far less trustworthy

or equally as untrustworthy as Whitkoff and Kushner.

But this was the plan to announce

that there was a deal made

when there weren't even negotiations happening.

Manipulate our markets here

and then propose JD vans speak with Iran.

And by the way, Iran has just been mocking

the United States.

Have you seen what their embassy

from South Africa posted?

They said, yep, Donald Trump and the Ayatollah

working to control the straight of her moves together.

And it's like the actual steering wheel of a car

and then the kid steering wheel and the passenger side.

I mean, they're just mocking Donald Trump

and the United States of America.

And again, when Trump makes this stuff up,

I mean, sure it manipulates our markets here

and maybe prevents temporarily a crash.

But it doesn't address the systemic issues

and it weakens the United States.

And if you're Iran and you see this,

you see desperation and weakness.

And I think you also see, well,

are you just buying time right now

to try to get the 82nd Airborne Division here?

Because Israel continues to pound Tehran.

That hasn't changed at all.

And none of the dynamics of the war have changed

other than Donald Trump just lying and lying and lying.

And so M.B. Gallabaf again, the head of the parliament

for Iran, here's what he wrote 55 minutes ago

from my recording of this video.

Iran is fighting for humanity.

The world is either with Gaza

and against this colonial terror regime

or it stands with the Epstein class and child torturers.

There is no middle ground, hashtag Gaza genocide.

So that's the guy that Trump says

that he's negotiating with and making progress with

or what about what he said a few hours before that.

He says no negotiations have been held with the US

and fake news is used to manipulate

the financial and oil markets

and escape the quagmire in which the US

and Israel are trapped.

Iranian people demand complete

and remorseful punishment of the aggressors.

All Iranian officials stand firmly behind their supreme leader

and people until this goal is achieved

in Trump's responses.

I'm negotiating directly with the Ayatollah

when we know that's not true

and the Iranians know that's not true.

And you're saying you're going to control

the straight of her moves together with the Ayatollah.

Come on, I mean, that's so deeply pathetic.

Now, senior military officials,

the New York Times reports are weighing

the possible deployment of a brigade combat team

from US Army's 82nd Airborne Division,

roughly 3000 power troopers assigned

to the immediate response force IRF,

which are capable of deploying anywhere in the world

within 18 hours, as well as some elements

of the division's headquarters staff

at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

But then what we see is a significant movement underway

from the US Army Navy and Air Force bases as well.

And it does appear deployment of the 82nd Airborne Division,

as well as other units are now underway from bases

within the continental United States

toward the Middle East as staging continues

for possible ground operations in Iran.

And further preparation of these ground operations,

the US is advancing $23 billion in armed sales

to Gulf allies drop site reports.

The Trump administration has advanced $23 billion

in weapon sales to UAE, Kuwait and Jordan

without congressional approval according

to the Wall Street Journal.

And this includes $17 billion or $16 billion

for air defense systems, munitions, radar equipment,

$7 billion in weapons to the UAE.

That could be going to your health care,

to your education, to better hospitals,

to improving the lives of Americans.

But that's where this is now being sent to.

And I'll just show you what's going on in Iran.

Iranians in multiple cities earlier today

formed human chains around the major power plants

following US threats to strike energy infrastructure

according to video shared by the FARS news.

That's their regime news right there.

And you see them doing that now to be clear.

This is their propaganda, right?

This is what they are pushing.

But here's their propaganda.

On the other hand, you have Donald Trump talking

and Pete Hegsiff talking about raining death

from the sky, totally annihilating and blowing up Iran.

And the language that's used by Trump in the Epstein class

plays right into the propaganda of Iran.

So I think it's important tactically to think through

how the communication is happening

because communications is part of the battle

that is taking place as well.

We'll show you right here just so you see

that the strikes are underway still in Iran.

Strikes in Isfahan, Iran.

This is being still taken out by Israel

and the United States, meanwhile,

in the straight of her moves.

Really the ships that are being able to leave India, China,

but they're paying money for safe passage

as Iran controls the straight of her moves.

Senior Iranian officials are saying,

look, Washington refuses to accept the essential conditions.

They must pay reparations to us

and they must acknowledge the aggression against us.

So now Donald Trump's in Tennessee.

I want to show you what is going on in Tennessee.

So the first thing Donald Trump,

well, this is going on.

He's in Tennessee.

He starts saying that he has a great relationship with Tennessee

and it's a lot safer than relationships with other things.

What does he mean by this?

I mean, it's deeply creepy play this clip.

Votes, so I happen to like the state.

I love Tennessee.

Maybe someday I'll move to Tennessee.

I might have to move that.

No, I love it.

You never know what that is.

You know, he just have a relationship with the state.

It's a lot safer than relationships with other things.

I can tell you as a politician, but I especially...

Then Donald Trump blames Pete Hegseth for the war in Iran

and says we were doing so good with the stock market.

So we had to take an excursion.

Here's what Trump says.

And then unfortunately, I call Pete.

I call General Kane.

I called a lot of our great people.

We have great people.

And I said, let's talk.

We got a problem in the Middle East.

We have a country known as Iran that for 47 years

has been just a purveyor of terror.

And they're very close to having a nuclear weapon.

We can keep going and get that 50,000 up to 55 and 60

as no end.

Or we can take a stop and make a little journey

into the Middle East and eliminate a big problem.

And Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up.

And you said, let's do it because you can't let them have

a nuclear weapon.

So we are now having really good discussions.

I started last night, a little bit the night before that.

All right, let me tell you about something

That's become a huge part of my routine.

I'm Donald Trump again continues to lie saying,

we have good settlement discussions with Iran.

They want to settle.

I hope they don't.

There are not discussions taking place.

This is a lie, but listen to what he says here play this clip.

This time they mean business and it's only because of the great job

that our military did is the reason they mean business.

They want to settle and we're going to get it done and then Donald Trump says,

well, I hope we're in a good place or we can just totally annihilate Iran.

And again, you're not talking about the regime.

You're talking about the people now.

And when you say annihilate them,

you're talking about a genocide of the people killing the people,

civilian infrastructure.

And all you're doing is making the people rally around the Ayatollah.

Listen to what he says play this clip.

During this fight, they've really been a good partner in the fight.

They fought hard.

But we'll see what happens.

I think there's a very good chance we're going to end up in a deal.

And so we're giving it five days and then we're going to see where that takes us.

And I would say at the end of this period,

I think it could very well end up being a very good deal for everybody.

As good as if we went all the way just literally annihilated the place,

which if we don't have to do that,

that would be a good thing, not a bad thing.

In addition, after the appalling lines and massive disruption,

then Donald Trump says nobody was aware that they were going to be shooting their neighbors

that Iran would attack the nearby Arab nations where there is military bases.

Play this clip.

More important than we did it quicker.

Iran's missile capabilities were also growing so fast

that it would soon have become virtually impossible to stop them.

Once they have a missile, once they have what they were building was incredible.

And you got a little glimpse of it by the fact that when they came out,

they started shooting all of their neighbors.

Their neighbors weren't fighting with them.

They were getting along okay with their neighbors.

And I was surprised.

They were surprised everybody was surprised.

And it actually worked in reverse because their neighbors didn't turn against them.

And then Trump starts ranting and raving about the sound system in Iran.

I'll show you what he says here.

Play this clip.

God best for you is this.

Thank you.

Wow.

That was a nice place with the best sound system.

I don't know who did sounds like the finest opera hall in anywhere in the world.

Let's come back here more often.

So often you have sound systems that aren't the greatest.

And there's nothing worse making the speech when nobody can hear you.

This is beautiful and it's a great place and Memphis has to like me

because I have a lot of friends here and they were not happy a year ago, two years ago,

four years ago and now.

And Pete Hegseth in front of this by the way they filled up this crowd at Tennessee

with mostly national guard military police members.

This was described in the travel note of the reporter press pool that was there.

They described that most of the people in this audience were military police.

But then Pete Hegseth talks about sending troops, American troops in the United States

against the United States as Laura Rosen explains.

The U.S. military is not supposed to do domestic law enforcement play this clip.

Because every American without exception is entitled to safe, clean and beautiful city.

Cities where you can walk in peace.

Cities where law enforcement can do their job.

And to that end, the Department of War stands shoulder to shoulder with state and federal partners

so that our streets can be defended once again.

Kind of like the visual I'm looking at right here.

I see a lot of civilian leaders and police law enforcement leaders in the front and who's

behind you, men and women and camouflage, having your back every single day like we do

in this mission.

So thank you for working tirelessly to protect this state and restore law and order and

the results they speak for themselves.

And then Donald Trump ranting and raving that he loves Elvis.

Let's play it.

You know, I'm going to see Graceland after this.

I think is that right?

I love Elvis.

I never met Elvis.

Everyone said to you, I met him all.

I met Sinatra.

I knew all of them.

I never met Elvis.

Sometimes I feel I should tell a little fibs that I knew him well.

I know I love Elvis, but I never met him.

But I'm going to go see Graceland after this.

I think I'm sure it's not going to be a very long stay.
