Iran is threatening his life. Iran is threatening him in response to Donald Trump saying,
if you don't agree to the ceasefire on my terms, we're going to invade the carge island.
We're sending Marines there. Get ready, Iran, and Iran saying bring it on and they're posting memes
and AI videos and mocking Donald Trump. For example, they posted this meme right here
through their state regime media in Iran. They write to American soldiers come closer and it
shows a casket right there by the straight of her moves with an American flag on it. Also,
you have Iranian regime media and others in Iran and cartoonists in Iran posting memes like this
mocking Donald Trump for Trump saying that Iran is giving him great gifts and presents and it makes
him happy. Take a look at this cartoon right here. Trump, Iran sent me a very valuable gift.
And for those listening on audio, it's a photo of Iran giving Donald Trump a gift
where an Iranian soldier is kicking Donald Trump in the face. You also have Iranian soldiers
taking photos of themselves on carge island. For example, right here, Iranian soldiers and
underground trenches on carge island are posting photos and stating that they are ready to repel
any possible US landing by those marine expeditionary forces on their way to Iran as well as the
82nd airborne division and the elite paratroopers attached to the 82nd airborne. They're saying
we're ready to go in Iran judging by the photo right here. The Iranians have already received their
FPV, those first person view kamikaze drones produced by potentially Chinese companies.
You'll see right here they have the video antennas as well and you can see the videos that
and the photos that the Iranians are posting in these trenches as they are ready for war. They're
ready for the invasion. They said that we've been preparing two decades to fight the Americans on
our soil. Let's go. There's what they're saying. I just fear that Donald Trump with no plan and
his recklessness is about to send our troops off to a very, very bad situation. I'll tell you what
they're saying in Israel right now. This is an exclusive right here that Nadaviyal posted
exclusive Israeli security officials are saying the following. The option that Donald Trump is
talking about of seizing islands in Iran, whether it's Carg Island or others or the Strait of
or Moose itself is complex and fraught with danger and would likely trigger massive Iranian
attacks on energy infrastructure, the laying of mines and in many cases severe escalation. So
behind the scenes what Israel is saying is if Iran refuses Trump's ceasefire plan and in any case
escalates attack on regional energy that the Trump regime in Netanyahu should threaten and carry
out strikes causing extensive damage to Iran's energy infrastructure, civilian energy infrastructure
and not immediately execute a ground operation. Israel has been saying that they believe that their
operations could potentially take over a year longer and that this could be a very long term war
indeed. You have Moshan Razi right here, a senior military advisor to the new Supreme Leader
Mojtaba Khomeini posting the following and saying the following message to Iran regime media.
If their air power, the United States air power, which is their main force, has not yielded
results. What are they expecting from a ground operation? Are American soldiers ready to die for
Israel? I guess we'll see. You see how the Iranians are taunting Trump, threatening Trump,
threatening US soldiers right here saying bring it on. And again, as an American,
why are we in this war in the first place other than the fact that Netanyahu told Donald Trump
that they were going to be greeted like heroes in Iran and that Netanyahu said that he was going
to invade. So Trump better invade with him or else Iran would strike back at Donald Trump.
And so that's why Donald Trump rushed our soldiers into war. Let's take a look at what the
Iranian foreign minister Aragachi is saying. Here's what he posted. No nation in history has stood
for nearly a month against the greatest nuclear arm power on earth and stopped them from achieving
a single goal. This is a point of pride for all of humanity. Iran's foreign minister Aragachi,
Aragachi rather says there are no negotiations taking place. And he says the following to
Iranian state regime media. There are no negotiations. The fact that they are now talking about
negotiations in the United States is an admission of defeat. Didn't they say unconditional surrender?
So why are they now mobilizing their highest officials to negotiate? Right. The Trump regimes
like we're sending JD vans to Pakistan. And what they're saying in Iran as well,
as long as we get to control the straight of Hormuz, as long as you remove all of your bases from
the Middle East, as long as you agree never to attack his Bola, never to attack Iran again,
you stay out of Lebanon, you stay out of Iran, as long as you apologize and give us full
reparations, then we'll be willing to have a conversation in the first place. So all of these
analysts here in the US were like, oh, we're having these productive conversations. No, we're not.
I think it's important that you see what they're saying in Iran as well. Because in Iran,
they feel that they have the upper hand right now while Donald Trump's like they're totally
obliterated. There's no leadership there. It's total chaos, right? We learned yesterday morning
that the way Donald Trump is getting briefed on this war is they're creating two-minute hype
reels with videos of things blowing up. And that that's how they show Donald Trump
that Iran is being obliterated, but they're not explaining to him apparently that Iran has
just more extreme people in those leadership positions. Sorry, let me keep rooting what
foreign minister Aragji continues to say. Aragji says, for countries we have identified as our
friends, we have allowed them to pass through the straight of Hormuz. This includes China, Russia,
India, Iraq, and Pakistan. There is no reason to allow our enemy to pass through the straight of
Hormuz. The enemy must learn a lesson, never to dare attack again. And the damages to the Iranian
people must be compensated. International guarantees are not 100% guarantees. The intrinsic
guarantee we have created ourself means no one dares to go to war with the Iranian people anymore.
So far, no negotiations have taken place in a ceasefire without guarantees is a vicious cycle
that repeats war. I mean, Trump's saying, let's do a 30-day ceasefire in Iran saying, why?
You've run out of your munitions. You've exhausted your munitions stockpile now for what three to
eight years. So you want a ceasefire so you can go back and try to build up why would we do that?
And that's the reality. The United States reserve musicians are basically eaten up for the next
three to eight years, according to a lot of the analysts out there. Aragji says, many foreign
ministers in the region have now been contacting Tehran and Iran's stance has been principled and
firm. The war clarified many facts. One, that is the basis not only failed, that these military
bases by the US not only failed to ensure security of the host countries, but they themselves now
became sources of the insecurity for a lot of these countries. Earlier yesterday as well, there was
a briefing in the before the House and the Senate. There was a briefing before the House
Armed Services Committee. And even the Maga Republican mic Rogers criticized the Defense
Department for not giving lawmakers more info. We want to know more about what's going on,
what the options are. Why are they being considered? We are not getting enough answers at all right
here. And meanwhile, Maga Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mase posted three consecutive statements
opposing the deployment of ground troops to Iran after walking out of a House Armed Services
briefing. And she basically made it seem like a ground invasion is imminent. Nancy Mase goes,
Washington's war machine is hard at work. They are trying to drag us into Iran to make it another
Iraq. We can't let them. I will not support sending South Carolina's sons and daughters to war
in Iran. I won't do it. President Trump has been enormously successful so far. I'm sure,
sure Nancy, but we cannot allow the Washington war machine to turn Iran into another Iraq.
Just walked out of House Armed Services briefing on Iran. Let me repeat, I will not support troops
on the ground in Iran, even more so after this briefing. Arroggy posted the following in response to
this story about how Donald Trump's been getting those hype videos that were those two minute
videos that show Iran getting bombed by the United States and Israel. And here's what foreign
minister Arroggy writes. It is said that Edward Bernays, a pioneer of mass persuasion,
served on committee on public information and worked to help Woodrow Wilson,
rally-Americans for war in Europe. When he and Walter Litman met president in 1917,
they reportedly said, we can sell the war to the public. More than essentially, we can sell the
war to the public. More than a century later, little has changed. Except that now, it seems the
wars being sold not once, but daily, even to the president himself through carefully curated
videos. What's going on with Iran's parliament yesterday? Iran's parliament moved toward
formalizing their plan to charge tolls in the Strait of Hormuz, the head of parliament's civil
commission said Iran is pursuing legislation to formalize its sovereignty control and supervision
over the Strait of Hormuz and introduce tolls for ships passing through it,
creating a new source of national revenue according to Fars. He said a draft has been prepared,
but has not yet reached the full proposal stage. Lawmakers aim to send it to Iranian's parliament
research center next week for legal review before advancing it once sessions resume. Under the plans,
vessels would be charged for transit and exchange for security with the official arguing,
the Strait should be treated like other international corridors, like the Suez Canal,
where tolls are routinely paid. So in Donald Trump's like, they're so obliterated in Iran and
they don't have any leadership to their meeting in various committees in parliament to recommend
different pieces of legislation and then having their working legal group review it right now.
The bottom line right now is that Donald Trump got into this war, an unlawful war,
without explaining the goals or objectives. This is already a disaster. This is further escalating.
Donald Trump and his regime and Caroline Levitt, they show up every day, they lie to us.
You want to talk about some of the damage being done in addition to the fact that
two three billion dollars are being spent on this war every day, probably more.
And now Trump wants two hundred billion dollars more for this war right on the eve of this
ground invasion. Well, here is what we learned. Just the US Air Force losses alone in the war.
We've lost one F-35, damaged by Iranian defense, three F-15s, one KC-135, another KC-135,
five KC-135s, twelve MQ-9 reapers, one UH-6 helicopter. We showed you that photo of the FPV
drone that was in the camp victory in Iraq. By the way, Iraq is on fire right now in a bad way.
You have the Shiite militias there were targeted by Netanyahu and Trump. They're now responding
by targeting American bases, lots of sectarian violence in Iraq, Iraq is spiraling out of control as
well. And it looks like the war is really being brought to Iraq right now. So not just Iran,
Iraq. Frankly, the whole area, I mean, extending out through the KC and C, which is this linkage
point between Russia and Iran as well, where you have Russia basically sending. Basically,
they are sending drones and supplies to Iran to kill Americans and to prepare for the invasion
of CARD and to attack its neighbors at the same time the US is releasing sanctions on Russian oil.
Russia's giving Iran all the weapons right now. It's obvious. According to the financial times
citing other officials briefed on the matter, Russia is preparing to send a phase shipment of
drones, medicine and food to Iran. The deliveries began in early March and it's in the process of
being completed right now. And when you think about it, remember we learned that what was it
last week or so in the past earlier today, right? Israel struck a node for the Russo-Iranian
trade networks in the Caspian Sea. So there were strikes in the Caspian. The war is spreading
all over the region at this point. And I just think, you know, again, that's not getting enough
attention. And that's why we covered here at the Midest Touch Network. As I mentioned earlier,
the US interceptor stockpiles depleted by Iran War could take three to eight years
to replenish. It's a big problem. Big big problem. One other thing I'll point out as well.
As Adam Johnson said, once again, US media is casually reporting the Pentagon's use of human
shields. So here, the New York Times details how US troops are hiding in civilian office spaces
and hotels because they don't want to be vulnerable or are too close to the current front lines.
Here's the article. Iran's attack force US troops to work remotely. And it's saying how
right now the war in Iran has made all of these bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
and Iraq vulnerable to the point now where American service members can't really live or work
there for extended periods of time. Military officials said so basically all of those military bases
in the Middle East right now have been abandoned by American soldiers who are now in hotels
and other areas. Just letting you know what's happening in the region. Okay, we may not like to hear
that. That's what's happening in the region. This is not the story that you're probably getting
anywhere else. And the same way five years ago, I was reporting on the Epstein files, right?
The same way I've been reporting on the tariff and the trade war before like lots of people
were covering it. You know, the same way I would talk about Trump's deteriorating health,
the same way I would say all these red flags and people weren't always saying the past. Oh,
might as touch. You're being hyperbolic. You're being I'm trying to
I love our country. Okay, like I do. I like I want our country to be better for my daughter
and for future generations. That's what that's what I want more than anything. And so I view the
ultimate patriotism speaking the truth and calling all of this stuff out. You know, I I want our
troops to be safe. I don't want to be in this unlawful war. This is weakening us for generations
right now. Not to even mention how it's impacting us and our economy and people can't afford things
here. Anyway, and the human toll, of course, all around and the war crimes being committed by
the United States and Israel and the deaths being and and the attacks by Iran and the air in
the air. It's horrible. It's horrible. Hate war. Why are we in this war at all? Why why do we
invade Netanyahu? It's so horrific. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers. Thanks for
