Iran has further destroyed multiple United States military bases in the Middle East. Donald Trump needs to be removed from office immediately. Trump falling directly into his own escalatory trap. The Strait of Hormuz is now closed. American military bases are currently burning to the ground. Late last night, Donald Trump attacked coastal cities throughout Iran after Iran did what it previously did and said it was going to do again if the United States tried to direct tankers and cargo ships through its own route and not use the IRGC route in the Strait of Hormuz. The IRGC said, nothing has changed. We are going to strike those tankers. That's precisely what Iran did. They struck at least 2 tankers yesterday. The United States then responded by attacking 140 sites in Iran. Iran was not playing around. They said, if you're going to escalate, we're going to escalate. Strait of Hormuz closed, and we are going to hit US military bases hard, and we're now going to expand the map of locations we're going to hit. Whereas before we were mostly focused on Kuwait and Bahrain. Let's just go back to where we were when Donald Trump and Netanyahu first invaded in late February, and Iran's like, okay, we're going to strike Qatar, we're going to strike Oman, we're going to strike in the UAE, in Abu Dhabi.
We're not going to hold back. That's precisely what Iran did. And let's Let's not forget what took place before this weekend even started. It was the Trump regime leaking to their personal stenographer, Barak Ravid, over at Axios the following: A senior American official claimed that after 2 days of clashes around the strait earlier this week, the Iranians came back to us and asked, please, can we hold additional talks to try to resolve some of the issues?
Yeah.
Tell me something that never happened the most, it is that. They said to us, "We messed up, Donald. We messed up. We made a mistake. Let's keep on talking. We didn't mean to strike some of those other ships that were going through the Strait of Hormuz through the United States route that we don't authorize and that we said we were gonna strike and that the IRGC Sa'ifa Navy warned through the radio frequencies and said they were gonna do it and then did it." And then remember, as part of this fan fiction cosplay that was put out through Barak Ravid heading into the weekend, which I told you, don't believe this. This is not even good propaganda. It's like the worst self-defeating propaganda that ever existed. This is what Barak Ravid put out for the Trump regime. The United States demanded of Iran, both directly and through regional intermediaries, to issue by Saturday a public statement clarifying that the Strait of Hormuz is open and include a commitment not to fire at commercial vessels passing through the area, 3 senior American officials said in a briefing to reporters on Friday. Right, like that was actually going to happen.
I think Iran saw what Donald Trump was doing. What was he doing? He was putting, uh, more signage around the White House in gold letters so Donald Trump can know where he has to walk. The Rose Garden, the Presidential Walk of Fame, the West Wing. Just take a look at how grimy and disgusting and low-rent the White House looks right now. And I'm sure Iran was also very worried, Donald, when you were making posts like this throughout yesterday. This is a real post from Donald Trump bragging about yet another cognitive exam that he took. Just think about this. He's running around the White House panicking, frantic, saying Netanyahu told me that Iran wants to kill me. If you kill me, Iran, I've got 1,000 missiles pointed at you. Oh, and by the way, did you all know that I took some more cognitive exams?
I aced them.
Oh, by the way, Iran wants to make a deal with me. Oh, They don't want him. Oh, they do want to make a deal. This is what he posted here. Take a look at this. Maggot Hagerman. That's what he calls Maggie Haberman because he's a demented 2-year-old. No offense to demented 2-year-olds who behave far more mature than this. Maggot Hagerman has covered me incorrectly for 10 years. Her book is a joke. And then Trump goes on to say, I just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed. I do it every 6 months and I requested another cognitive exam. The only president to do so 3 times. I aced them Got every question right. Few people in Washington, DC could do so. I'd be willing to bet that, gee, he says, uh, Hagerman and Jonathan Swan, that they couldn't get 50% of the questions right anyway. Don't buy their book. That's what he posts. Yeah. So he got another cognitive exam in this past week or so. Then Donald Trump goes, I won the election in a landslide. Maggot Hagerman, Maggot Hagerman. She's one of the most unattractive people. There's no saying maybe we're wrong about him.
Maybe we're wrong.
Congratulations. We wish you great success for our country. The lost its way Wall Street Journal. Fake news. Fake news. I mean, he's like, I don't even want to read the rest. He's posting the most deranged things. But in the real world, as Donald Trump and CENTCOM escalated and started attacking all of the coastal cities of Iran yesterday, they attacked 140 sites. And what, you didn't think Iran was going to respond after you struck 140 sites? Iran said, we're responding hard. We told you what we were going to do. We're expanding the map, we're going to attack the United States bases hard. I mean, you've got right over here, just take a look at this clear view of the large fire burning at the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain following the ballistic missile strikes there. I'll show you some B-roll of what it looked like. Oh, before the strikes, uh, took place, Pete Hegseth said the following: Iran made a poor choice. Now they pay. This isn't G.I.
Joe.
This isn't one of your made-for-DVD movies, Pete Hegseth. This is the world. And in the real world, the United States has depleted its strategic petroleum reserves. Take a look at what the price of oil is going to be. It's probably going to be close to $85, $90 per barrel by the time the oil market opens tonight. Our strategic petroleum reserves are essentially fully depleted right now. How are you going to explain that one to the American people when they find out what we've been talking about on the Midas Touch Network now for a very long period of time? Oh, and you're depleting all of your munitions. Oh, and didn't you all say to us that Iran, uh, had no more weapons and that they were defeated and they were tapped out and the military doesn't— it seems like the military exists. Iran's IRGC announces the full destruction of the logistical support centers for US aircraft carriers and refueling platforms at the Duqm port in Oman with ballistic missiles as part of its third phase of its response to the US strikes yesterday into this morning. Iran is carrying out massive attacks against Qatar with new explosions there at Al Udeid, striking hard right there with ballistic missiles.
The IRGC also destroyed an MQ-9 drone hangar at Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan with several ballistic missiles there. Also striking the Al Dhafra Air Base by the United States in the UAE. All the traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is basically closed. I'll show you what these Arash kamikaze drones looked like, which also draw out the THAAD and Patriot interceptors by the United States. And so as I've said before, when the war started, these drones cost $25,000 to $30,000 for Iran to make. The THAAD and Patriot interceptors are $4 million, $5 million a pop. Multiple of those get shot to try to shoot one of these drones. And a lot of those drones are— and ballistic missiles are are still getting through. And so the United States casually probably spending in the past 24 hours, I don't know, say a billion dollars, maybe more, maybe $5 billion in the past 24 hours because Donald Trump is playing tough guy, Mr. War Game, while the American people are suffering. You did the MOU, Donald, just get the hell out of the region. The Americans don't want this war. We don't want to be fighting endless wars with Netanyahu in the Middle East.
The American people are suffering. What the hell are you doing? And Iran's not going to back down. Iran's not scared of you at all.
I don't—
it's, it's nothing should perplex me about this psychotic creature in the Oval Office who needs to be removed from office immediately. But how you can go through this entire war with Iran and how you can go through and come to the conclusion You, you lying to Barack Ravid and committing fraud on the MOU and ranting and raving like a lunatic, that that's somehow going to work with Iran? Did you see what the funeral processions looked like for Ayatollah Khamenei? Did you see the millions, tens of millions of people in Iran and Iraq? That, that's where you want to escalate? Are you completely the biggest idiot ever? I mean, I mean, impeach, remove, throw this guy in prison. The damage that Donald Trump has done to our country generationally, it is beyond even comprehension at this point. MB Ghalebaf, Iran's lead negotiator. While Donald Trump's posting— what was some of Donald Trump's posts also? While Donald Trump is posting these weird images of— this is the horrible front of the White House, and it's been like that for years. The condition is deplorable, just like our country. When I inherited from Sleepy Joe, the radical left Democrats criticized me for spending so much time bringing our White House back to the glory of 100 years ago.
Actually, it will be far better than that, and they will not shame us for bringing back our great monuments. Dude, what the hell are you even talking about, you psycho? What are you talking— you want to see what MB Galaboff is posting? The era of one-sided deals is over. We told you, keep your word or pay the price. Reality is knocking. That's what they're saying in Iran. Or how about this from IRGC Navy? Due to insecurity caused by the illegal intervention of foreigners, the Strait of Hormuz is closed until further notice and until the end of the United States intervention in this region. No vessel will be allowed to pass. No vessel will be allowed to pass. They issued more statements referring to the United States as the child-killing regime. Let me share this with you as well, just to remind you of what went down, uh, before this weekend. When Donald Trump was in NATO, he was, he was asked, it seems that the war with Iran may start again. Remember what Donald Trump's response was? Here, play this clip.
Mr. President, it seems that the war with Iran may start again. What do you expect from your European allies? No, I don't think it's going to start again. I think it's going to go very quickly. They hit a couple of ships, and so we hit them much harder. When they hit, we hit 10 times harder. You know, we hit much harder than they do. We have a lot better equipment than they do. We may even— somebody asked before, do you think you'll hit them tonight? I said, we might. Yeah, we might. But when they hit, we hit. We use their language. We speak their language. No, I don't think so. I think anything that happens is going to be over very quickly and will only make it safer, including for oil. Oil is going to be very free, very easy, and it's going to happen very fast. We have the Hormuz Strait. The boats have pulled out. I mean, there's a gusher of oil right now. We have a lot of oil. And no, anything that happens is going to happen very fast. We're not looking for long term.
Or when Donald Trump was in the White House before leaving to NATO, and this is how he described Iran. We knocked the hell out of them and now we're negotiating from strength. Pure strength. Sure. Yeah. Donald, you knocked the hell out of them. All of their navies under the sea. They don't have any ballistic missiles. You destroyed all of their drones. Donald. Oh, I'm sure that's what happened. This is all make-believe, imagine world, Donald, right? No, this is real life. And you, Donald, have destroyed the lives of so many people in the world. Here's what Donald Trump said about, um, we knocked the hell out of them. We knocked them so good. Here, play this clip.
And I said, we're going to journey down, we're going to do what we have to do. And we did. We knocked the hell out of them. And now we're negotiating from a position of pure strength. Pure strength. They know that. And the straits already open and we're setting records in the strait. But we had to do that. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.
And then the rest of the world just mocking him right now about—
we want to do a deal. They want to do a deal. They're going to do a deal. Everyone does deals. I'm a deal guy. I do deals like a deal. You want a deal? I'm doing a deal. I'm just—
dude, shut up saying the word deal, you idiot. You're not a dealmaker. You've never been a dealmaker. You've been a destroyer and a fraud your entire—
I'm gonna do a deal. You want me to do it?
I want you to shut the hell up, and I want you to act like a freaking adult is how I want you to act, okay? That's what the American people want. Despite me hating you and despising you for the pain you've caused so many people in this country, I want you to shut the hell up.
I mean, deal, deal, deal.
And I just want you to act like a grownup. I want you to act as a bare minimum as an adult and behave reasonably, responsibly, and get the hell out of the Middle East and stop these endless wars with Netanyahu, you disgusting, despicable fascist warmonger. Here, play this clip.
We want to do a deal.
Play it. Is the ceasefire over? Is the ceasefire done? Is the MOU dead?
It's a very interesting question. To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. You know what scum is? They're scum. They're sick people. They're led by sick people and they're vicious, violent people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it. As far as I'm concerned, it's over. I'll speak to our negotiators. They want to negotiate. They're good people. Steve Whitkoff, Jared Kushner. But they have to come back to me. As far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time dealing with them. They're liars. We make a deal and they— if I make a deal with him, we have a deal and he goes out, he talks. We make a deal. Everyone's agreed. No nuclear weapon. We make a deal. They go outside, talk to the press. They say we never even talked about it. There's something wrong with them. They're cuckoo. As far as I'm concerned, it's over.
