Donald Trump is panicking as his disastrous and unlawful war in Iran continues to escalate. Donald Trump is now preparing to deploy elements of the 82nd Airborne Division into the Middle East. Now this follows Donald Trump deploying the USS Boxer amphibious ready group and 2,500 Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit as well. So we have the USS Boxer, the USS Portland, the USS Comstock departing San Diego in the past 48 hours Add to that a Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard the USS Tripoli carrying about 2,500 troops from Japan, expected to arrive in the Persian Gulf region by late March. Then the other ships are expected to get there late April. And so folks, things are escalating. We were reporting earlier yesterday how Donald Trump and his military generals and admirals are apparently planning a ground invasion of Karg Island, and also the coast of Iran, potentially putting troops there. And things are getting very, very escalating there very, very quickly. Here's what Donald Trump posted on social media as well, though, where he tried to act like he wasn't doing what we actually can see these deployments occurring. Donald Trump writes, we are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great military efforts in the middle Middle East with respect to the terrorist regime of Iran.
One, completely degrading Iranian missile capability launchers and everything else pertaining to them. Two, destroying Iran's defense industrial base. Three, eliminating their navy and air force, including anti-aircraft weaponry. Four, never allowing Iran to get even close to nuclear capability and always being in a position where the USA can quickly and powerfully react to such a situation should it take place. Five, protecting at the highest level our Middle Eastern allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others. The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed as necessary by other nations who use it. The United States does not! If asked, we will help these countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn't be necessary once Iran's threat is eradicated. Importantly, it will be an easy military operation for them. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump. So while Trump is deploying all of these troops to the region, he makes a post where it seems like he's saying that he's going to surrender and then just leave the Strait of Hormuz, which he's now responsible for having become closed by starting this war with Netanyahu against Iran, and then Iran retaliating as such.
We'll just leave it to everybody else to deal with. But he's also now deploying these troops. There's clearly, there's clearly no actual leadership taking place. It seems like they're just winging it one day to the next. And you want to talk about winging it while Donald Trump is also saying that he thinks his job is done, but while also deploying the 86th Airborne and those other troops that I mentioned. We also learned yesterday that the United States, through its Treasury Department, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant announced that they are providing a 30-day sanction waiver for Iranian oil on the water loaded before March 20th. So, uh, as Gregory Brew explains, so while the US is trying to bomb Iran into submission or decimate them, as Donald Trump says, it is now permitting nations to buy Iranian oil for the first time since 2019. But it gets even worse than that, because if you read the waiver, as Gregory Brew explains, the waiver actually permits Iranian oil to be brought into the US for the first time since the 1990s. It gives access to Iranian oil into the United States while the US is at war with Iran.
After the US lifted oil sanctions against Russia, this was one of Iran's big objectives to be be able to get the sanctions removed. Think about it. They've closed the Strait of Hormuz. The sanctions are removed against their own oil. The sanctions are removed against Russia's oil. Russia's making a killing, literally and figuratively, right now. They're making so much damn money selling their oil. And then they've also got the benefit of Donald Trump attacking NATO all day. Donald Trump was making social media posts yesterday saying NATO is a paper tiger. He called NATO members cowards with an exclamation point because they didn't want to go into the Strait of her moves after Donald Trump launched this unlawful and unconstitutional war, while Donald Trump is now purportedly building up the military presence in that region. Gregory Brew also makes a great point here I want to share with you. So the Marine force that I just mentioned earlier in this video that's being sent to potentially occupy parts of Iran, a country of 90 million people, is approximately the same size of the force used to invade the island of Grenada in 1983. The island of Qeshem, which lies along the north end of the Strait of Hormuz, has a population of 150,000 to 180,000.
The city of Bandar Abbas on the coast has 500,000 people. Karg Island has approximately 8,000 people. And then Donald Trump's like, we've degraded and destroyed Iranian capabilities. Interesting, interesting, because in the past 24 hours, you can see right here a large fire burning following a direct Iranian drone strike on the US State Department's Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center, the BDSC, in the Iraqi capital located on the site of Baghdad's International Airport. You can see that right there. You've got other developments as well, horrific developments. Kuwait's largest refinery was hit by Iranian drones. Also, as Iraq declares a force majeure on foreign oil fields, DropSite is a good summary. So Iranian drone strikes hit Kuwait's Mina Al-Mahdi refinery on Friday, sparking fires in multiple units for the second time in 24 hours, Kuwait Petroleum Corporation and state news agency QUNA said. Fire crews worked to contain the blaze. No injuries immediately reported. Kuwait's largest— but the refinery is Kuwait's largest, which processes about 730,000 barrels per day— had to shut down affected units. Separately, Iraq has officially declared a force majeure on all of its oil fields operated by foreign companies. Iraqi oil ministry sources told Reuters.
Do you know what I mean when I say force majeure? That means like a force of God clause, where it's basically invoking a special clause that says it doesn't have to deliver on its commitments. So it's a way of saying we're not going to satisfy any contracts. Force majeure clause, that's what a force majeure is. The move allows operators to suspend output and export obligations due to the war efforts in several major oil fields in the southern Basra region. Now, That's in addition to what we talked about, those northern oil and energy fields, liquefied natural gas facilities rather, in Qatar, which about 20% or so of that field was damaged. That was after the United States and Israel struck the South Pars oil, oil and energy facilities belonging to Iran. Iran also struck Riyadh in the past 48 hours in Saudi Arabia and some surrounding energy fields. There. And as Hala Jaber explains, this is escalating quickly as well, because in addition to all of the places that I just mentioned there, for the first time, Iran is now warning about foreign bases to directly— not just foreign bases, but are directly threatening UAE itself, right?
Abu Dhabi's in UAE, Dubai is in UAE, and specifically the area, the Ras al-Khaimah Kaimah in response to actions involving disputes there. So what Iran is saying is, if you're in anywhere in these regions in the UAE, get out. Tourist facilities, anything is fair game at this point. We're going to attack because they say UAE has been used by American HIMARS to shoot into Iran. So we're going after anything in the UAE at this point as well. And so UAE is in a state of utter panic as well. And again, as Donald Trump's like, we've decimated Iran, we've destroyed it, we've decimated it, really, because Wall Street Journal, CNN, and others reported yesterday that Iran was able to target the Diego Garcia base with ballistic missiles. That's in the Indian Ocean. So according to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple US officials, Iran targeted the joint US-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate, intermediate-range ballistic missiles, the IRBMs. According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged by a US destroyer utilizing an SM-3 interceptor, but a successful interception was not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base, fortunately, but this is notable as Iranian long-range precision fires have not previously been publicly assessed as having a range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia, as the base is some 4,000 kilometers from Iran proper.
As Benham Ben Talbu Explains Iran's operational IRBM launch against Diego Garcia means more defanging. That term needs to be done against the Iranian missile threat. The regime still has new capabilities up its sleeve. The timeline to ICBM capabilities shrunk. Iran officially attacked a UK territory overseas. And again, one of the things, as, as this one account does, the open source intelligence technical account explains the bigger story here, the implied wide range of an Iranian IRBM from a launch box in central Iran with a range of 4,500 kilometers distance to Diego Garcia. Theoretically, this could also target sites in Central Europe, and that was an important message that Iran wanted to send. Its foreign minister, Araghchi, posted this message: Vast majority of British people do not want any part in the Israel-US war of choice on Iran. Ignoring his own people, Keir Starmer is putting British lives in danger by allowing UK bases to be used for aggression against Iran. Iran will exercise its right to self-defense. So putting the people of the UK on notice as well. I mean, you see how utterly weak and pathetic Donald Trump looked yesterday when he held that press conference on the White House lawn.
I did a whole video of his meltdown. So I'm not going to do a whole shtick where I show you all the clips again, because I showed you those clips yesterday. But here Donald Trump's like, like, you know, Remember during COVID Donald Trump was like, like a miracle, COVID's all gonna go away. It's all gonna magically disappear. Well, now he's doing the same thing with the Strait of Hormuz, right? After Donald Trump engages in this unlawful and disastrous war against Iran with Netanyahu, Iran responds by closing the Strait of Hormuz, although Iran is also charging $2 million tolls to its allies that want to pass. So China and India and other countries can pay Iran. Now Iran's actually making a lot more money and the US is lifting sanctions while they're Well, they're at it as well. Donald Trump's like, at a certain point, the strait will open itself. Remember, was it last weekend where Donald Trump posted that he had assembled an international coalition that he was going to reveal? And all these countries agreed that they would be joining Donald Trump's coalition. And he said, I'm not going to leak the names yet because I want to keep it a surprise.
Right. And now it's like NATO's a paper tiger and the strait will open itself. Health. Watch what Donald Trump said yesterday. Play this clip.
It's a simple military maneuver. It's relatively safe, but you need a lot of, uh, help in the sense of you need ships, you need volume. And, uh, NATO could help us, but they so far haven't had the courage to do so. And others could help us, but, you know, we don't use it. You know, at a certain point it'll open itself, at a certain point. But we've defeated beated the enemy, and they are an enemy. They're a sick group of people. The leadership is gone. The Navy is gone. The Air Force is gone. The anti-aircraft equipment that they have, the radar they have, is all gone. Everything's gone. The strait itself, the actual strait— how are you? The strait itself is— we're doing a good job, but it would be nice if the countries, including China, that. If the countries that use it— China uses it 90% of their energy, Japan is 95% of the energy— it would be nice if those countries would get involved.
And then a reporter says, so like, do you have a plan on any of this stuff, or are you literally just winging this? And he's like, if I had a plan, why would I even tell you? Here, play this clip.
The President, Paul Diamond, Mr. President.
How will we operate?
Well, you know, I may have a plan or I may not, but how would I ever say that to a reporter?
If I Meanwhile, Donald Trump is crashing our markets. Yesterday, the markets closed. The Dow at 45,000, the S&P at 6,500, the Nasdaq at 21,000. Each of those were down. Nasdaq was down about 2%. The S&P was down about 1.5%. The Dow was down about 1%. The markets have absolutely been crashing. As Adam Kobayashi explains, in a sudden, in a sudden turn of events, the US 12-month inflation expectations have surged to 5.2%, the highest level since March 2023. In just 3 weeks, markets have gone from pricing in rate cuts to rate hikes. Around $1 trillion was wiped off the US stock market yesterday alone as these major indexes dropped 1 to 2% amid escalating Mideast tensions. And those were dropping even more before this week. But Donald Trump continues to say that he believes he won. That this— that the war is over and that he won. But we're also sending troops, but we're also withdrawing troops. And we also have all these allies who want to help us in the Strait of Hormuz, but also we don't want their help. And also they're not helping. And also Donald Trump and his regime are a bunch of complete idiots covering up child sex trafficking rings and getting us into endless wars while the American people can't afford anything.
And while people are suffering, struggling, starving, and can't pay their rent here So here, play this clip of Donald Trump saying, we won, we won. Here, play this clip.
What did you mean by that? He said the war was militarily won in Iran. What did you mean by that? Oh, I think we've won. We've knocked out their Navy, their Air Force. We've knocked out their anti-aircraft. We've knocked out everything. We're roaming free from a military standpoint. All they're doing is clogging up the straits. But from a military standpoint, they're finished.
