Final demands during these purported peace talks that are taking place in Islamabad. Iran said it's impossible to negotiate with Donald Trump and his regime since they lie about everything, so we're just imposing our demands. They either meet our demands or they don't. And now they said we'll get into technical talks about how to implement our demands, which include control over the Strait of Hormuz, full reparations, as well as long-term security guarantees for Iran and its proxy groups throughout the Middle East. Here you have Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibadi. He says that Tehran is making demands in the current talks with the United States rather than engaging in ordinary negotiations, citing Washington's record of dishonesty and deception. He says Iran is demanding not just negotiating with the United States. Now, Iran has also put this out on its social media accounts. This discussion is centered on our demands, and they put that in all caps, rather than being a negotiation. They also posted, time to seal the victory in beautiful Islamabad. And just to remind you what some of these demands are: authority over the Strait of Hormuz, payment of war reparations, unfreezing of all blocked Iranian financial assets, securing a comprehensive regional ceasefire and permanent security guarantees for itself and for all of its proxy groups.

And one of the things that Iran continues to do is just mock Donald Trump's post. I mean, Trump's been making post after post this morning, you know, so Donald Trump did a post, the Iranians don't seem to realize they have no cards other than a short-term extortion of the world by using international waterways. Now Tehran responded by saying, The latest attempts at psychological warfare against Iran. We are masters of this with a smiley face emoji. And according to Iran, they're saying the US has agreed to already release part of Iran's frozen assets, which was a precondition to start the negotiation. The Trump regime denies that they released Iranian funds. Iran says that those funds have been released. So there's a dispute there. There's also a dispute over an incident that took place in the Strait of Hormuz. The Trump regime leaked to its favorite propagandist from Axios, Barak Ravid, the following: Several US Navy ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, a senior US official tells me. The move was not coordinated with Iran. This is the first time US warships have crossed the Strait of Hormuz since the war has begun. Ravid goes on to say the senior American official said that the warships crossed the Strait of Hormuz from east to west into the Gulf.

Then made their way back eastward through the strait to the Arabian Sea. This was an operation focused on freedom of navigation through international waters, the senior American official said. So according to the American side of this story, they sent a number of destroyer ships, which go about 35, 40 miles per hour, to do an east to west trip in the Strait of Hormuz. And they said they were not encountered by any Iranian ships. And they did this, apparently, they claim during these sensitive negotiations that are taking place in Islamabad in Pakistan. Now, according to the Iranian side of it, Iran denies US warship passage. Iran's Tasman News Agency says a senior Iranian security official categorically rejected the Axios reporting, claiming that US Navy vessels had transited the Strait of Hormuz today. Emphasizing that no ships have passed through the strategic waterway since the ceasefire took place. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said the following: US destroyer was forced to— was forced to retreat. That a US destroyer attempted to enter the Strait of Hormuz and was forced to retreat after receiving an unequivocal warning from Iran's armed forces, preventing a potential ceasefire violation. And what apparently took place during these mediated negotiations in Islamabad, according to the Iran side, they saw the destroyer that was being sent by Trump into the Strait of Hormuz while these negotiations were taking place.

Uh, you had Iran's parliament leader, MB Golibaf, and their foreign minister, Aragchi, told the Prime Minister, uh, Sharif of Pakistan, Hey, they're sending a destroyer into the Strait of Hormuz. We're going to leave these negotiations if that destroyer stays there. That was conveyed to the US side and the destroyer turned around. According to the Trump version of events, the destroyer has traveled all throughout the Strait of Hormuz and was not encountered by any, uh, naval vessels or military vessels of Iran. Barak Ravid, uh, from Axios then writes, Senior American officials said, we have not received any threat from Iran to attack the ship, so that they were going to attack the ships. Iranian military officials say no U.S. vessel ended up crossing the Strait of Hormuz. You can see right here the Pakistan, uh, mediations taking place. You see the Iranian negotiators. As I mentioned earlier, Iran sent a team of basically like a dozen of its top leaders, people very familiar with, uh, nuclear energy and nuclear capabilities, lots of PhDs, uh, all of their kind of top, top leaders, uh, showed up. On the other hand, the United States sent J.D. Vance and Steve Whitkopf and Jared Kushner.

And I just think it's notable again that Trump is sending Whitkopf and Kushner who botched the negotiations last time. And there's no one in the room for the United States who has any understanding of nuclear capability. So when they're talking about the technical aspects of things, Iran has people who very much know all the technical aspects of nuclear capabilities and enrichment and all of that. And on the other side, the US doesn't. And the US— there's no other US allies. I don't think there's any other US allies that exist anymore, quite frankly. That, you know, that exists at this point, um, other than Donald Trump doing what Netanyahu tells him to do. But like, there's no NATO allies, there's no experience in the room on the US side of things. Now, again, Iran says US released money to them. US denies that. White House is saying today, reports regarding approval to release Iranian assets are false claims. And then Donald Trump starts making his post after post after post. Trump posts this morning, the fake news media lost all credibility. The fake news media has lost total credibility, not that they had any to begin with, because of their massive Trump derangement syndrome.

They love saying that Iran is winning when in fact everyone knows that they are losing and they are losing big. And Donald Trump says, praise be to Allah. He says that their longtime leaders of Iran are no longer with us. Praise be to Allah. I mean, again, just think about it. Like, you're in this negotiation right now People are trying to resolve this, and he's mocking the killing of Iranian leaders and mocking their religion by saying, praise be to Allah. The only thing they have going is the threat that a ship may bunk into one of their sea mines, which, by the way, all 28 of their mine dropper boats are also lying at the bottom of the sea. We're now starting the process of clearing out the Strait of Hormuz as a favor to countries all over the world, including China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and many others. Incredibly, they don't have the courage or will to do this work themselves. Very interestingly, however, empty oil-carrying ships from many nations are all heading to the United States of America to load up with oil. Thank you for your attention to this matter. He posted that one early in this morning.

But didn't you say, Donald, that you were just gonna leave the Strait of Hormuz and everybody else can deal with it? So if you think that the Strait of Hormuz doesn't impact American oil prices, Why are you doing it as a favor to them? Do you know how pathetic that looks that you're saying, oh, I'm just helping them out. I'm doing them a solid. Then Donald Trump goes on to say, I'm watching fertilizer prices closely during our fight for freedom in Iran. That's what they're calling it now, our fight for freedom. As you, as, as you have ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo killing Americans and killing people off the streets here in the United States, as you have turned the United States into an authoritarian country, you're saying that we are fighting for freedom by what? By you and Netanyahu blowing up elementary schools in Iran and Lebanon and Gaza? That, that's fine. That's fighting for the American people's freedom right now. I mean, this is just so pathetic. He goes, the United States will not accept price gouging from the fertilizer monopoly. American farmers, we have your back. You're gonna bail them out again because you screwed over the farmers before, you're screwing them over now.

There's a reason why your approval is at an all-time low. Donald Trump then goes, massive numbers of completely empty oil tankers, some of the largest anywhere in the world, are heading right— was it even the largest? Yeah, oil tankers are big. The largest anywhere in the world are heading right now to the United States to load up with the best and sweetest oil and gas. Weird dude. Anywhere in the world, we have more oil than the next two largest oil economies combined and higher quality. We are waiting for you. Quick turnaround. Yeah, there was more oil being produced in the United States under Biden than during you on your first term. Yes, there's lots of oil production, but do you understand the way oil has to actually be dealt with before it actually is utilized? Do you understand the way international oil markets work? You don't. And he posts a random picture of the White House. And he continues to say the fake news media is crazy or just plain corrupt. The United States has completely destroyed Iran's military, including their entire Navy and Air Force and everything else. Their leadership is dead. The Strait of Hormuz will soon be open and the empty ships are rushing to the United States to load up.

But if you listen to the fake news, we're losing. No, I'm— I listen to my ears and my eyes. I see that Iran's leadership is in Pakistan. In Islamabad making demands and treating the United States as the weak party in this negotiation. I see Iran's foreign minister, their parliament leader. I see them pulling up in Mercedes-Maybachs in Pakistan, being greeted by heroes in Pakistan. I see the people cheering them on. I see, I actually see their leadership. They are emboldened. They are certainly more powerful in the region than before. The war started. You said there was going to be regime change and the people of Iran were going to rise up and there was going to be this pro-Trump and Netanyahu Iran that was going to take place and you were going to control everything. And now you're running with your tail between your legs and trying to give in and just giving in to Iran's demands as they're out there just bragging. We're not negotiating. We're making demands on the United States because That's the only language they know. So that's what we know is actually happening right now, Donald. I mean, as I mentioned before, here's the room right there.

You can see the meeting of the Iranian negotiating, but all their leaders are dead. They don't have anybody, right? I mean, the way you've stereotyped Iran, you made people believe that these were like people like living in caves and just screaming Allah Akbar all day. And you're the one screaming praise be Allah as you say, I'm going to rain down hell on Praise Biala. You look like a freaking maniac out of all of this. And by the way, one of the things that have been happening still over the past 24 hours alone, while Lebanon was included in the ceasefire, uh, deal, um, because Iran wanted to protect its proxy groups, and this was the ceasefire agreement that the Trump regime agreed to, you have Israel attacking Lebanon again in addition to earlier this week in the biggest attack on Lebanon and Beirut, where 200, 250 people died and there was over 1,000 casualties. Despite the ongoing face-to-face negotiations between Iran and the United States in Islamabad, which are now apparently advancing into technical talks on a potential peace deal, fighting continues between Israel and Lebanon. In the last 24 hours alone, the Israeli Air Force reported that it has carried out over 200 strikes on Hezbollah targets and infrastructure, Hezbollah military infrastructure, other targets in southern Lebanon.
