Mein Name ist Alexandra und ich habe gofundme genutzt, indem ich einen Spendenaufruf darüber gemacht habe für eine Familie. Ich wohne in der Innenstadt von Leipzig und es hat bei uns einen ganz, ganz schlimmen Brand gegeben, Wohnungsbrand, der sich über mehrere Etagen tatsächlich ausbreitete. Wir sind so ein Mehrfamilienblock und mein Freund war derjenige, der gesagt hat: Ey, guck mal, hier gibt es ein Portal, gofundme heißt das. Dann habe ich mir das angeschaut und das war dann der Startpunkt. Also was ich jetzt natürlich erreichen konnte, die Familie hat jetzt erstmal eine Not, unterkunft. Die haben vorher wirklich auch in einem Hotel/Hostel gelebt, sind jetzt seit der letzten Woche in einer vorübergehenden Wohnung, haben jetzt aber die Chance gehabt, wirklich Kinderzimmer zu kaufen. Starte deinen Spendenaufruf noch heute in nur wenigen Minuten auf gofundme.com. gofundme.com für deinen Spendenaufruf. Dies ist eine bezahlte Anzeige von gofundme.
Donald Trump appears to be preparing for a ground invasion of Iran with US Special Forces as he gets more and more desperate. Predictably, Iran is not submitting or surrendering to Donald Trump's airstrikes. Donald Trump is increasing the escalatory measures by the United States. Iran is responding by climbing the escalatory ladder as well, and the Trump regime is now leaking out to places like Axios and the Wall Street Street Journal and others that one of the options that they are highly considering is a special forces ground invasion of Keshem Island or some of the nearby coastal areas. If you look at where the Trump regime is striking in Iran, as they have been consistently escalating day after day with these massive strikes and also these very serious war crimes, striking bridges, most of the bridges are near the Bandar Abbas region, that port city area in Iran. And the Trump regime strikes appear to be an effort to try to separate the Bandar Abbas area from the rest of Iran. And that would allow the special forces, in theory, to take over the Keshem Island, in theory, control the Strait of Hormuz. And I say in theory because it will be a massive failure.
It will result in the mass slaughter, in my opinion, of these special forces. It will then cause a massive escalation and Things are already escalating very, very quickly. Iran has also said that it will then send ground forces to some of the nearby Arab nations where there are US bases. And I think this will be a complete and utter disaster. But I think if you see the strikes that are taking place right now by the United States in certain coastal areas of Iran, it appears to be prepping the terrain for a ground invasion. Now, this comes at a time as well that there are other media outlets confirming US casualties since the US escalated, uh, this war in Iran recently. We've been reporting now for several days that we've seen these medevac airplanes in the area. I've been showing you the before and after satellite footage of a base in Jordan where there seemed to be mass destruction at some of the barracks there. And I said, well, that's where the US troops are staying, and I believe the US troops were there when this strike took place. And I said, it seems that those medevac planes likely have to be dealing with this.
I mean, take a look right here at the King Faisal Air Base from about 48 hours ago. You'll see the before and after on this satellite footage. I mean, it was hit hard. And now you have CBS and others saying that there were several casualties of US troops. CENTCOM has remained silent. They don't know if these were fatalities or serious injuries. Apparently sources are saying it's not fatalities, but I think CENTCOM is covering all of this up. It does seem to be serious injuries, although we need to get more data there. But if you take a look at what's just happened in the past 12 hours at a separate air base in Jordan— so what I was just talking about there was the air base, the King Faisal Air Base, and those barracks which were hit hard by Iran. But take a look in the past 12 to 24 hours what was going down right here. Take a look at the Muwafiq Salti Air Base in Jordan right here. I'm gonna play for you some of the B-roll so you can see for yourself what was going on. Now, according to Jordan, they say they intercepted all of the ballistic missiles from Iran.
They say there was no damage at all. There was lots of damage. And the Patriot or THAAD interceptors, which were supposed to be supplied by the United States, they were either totally ineffective here. Keep playing the B-roll of some of these images. As you see the Iranian ballistic missiles smashing into this area of this airbase that's occupied by US forces in Jordan. Either the THAAD interceptors are nonexistent, either they're out of munitions in Jordan, and I think Iran realizes they're probably out of munitions, um, they're ineffective or something else is going on because it appeared that the ability of the interceptors to actually stop the Iranian ballistic missiles right now was under 20%. as I was analyzing the strikes that were taking place. I mean, there were some other areas like the, um, interceptors in Iraq seem to be doing a little bit of a better job, but Iran's been striking back hard in the Erbil region in Iraq and Kurdistan regions, uh, as well. I mean, Iran was able to strike hard there. There are multiple casualties being reported over there. Iran's been hitting Bahrain really hard. Iran hit an AI facility that's used by the US, the Babco, uh, uh, fueling facility there.
Um, Iran's been striking hard in Kuwait. Iran's been striking hard in certain areas of Oman. Iran continues to control the Strait of Hormuz. Uh, the, there's been zero shipping through the so-called US-Oman lane at this point. And so if you take a look, Iran says they have, you know, uh, more ballistic missiles than ever. They have more Shahed drones than ever, and they don't appear to be bluffing right now. And so So as I've been warning about, it's this increase of this escalatory ladder, this escalatory trap that Donald Trump is falling right into. You have one of the lead kind of advisors to Ayatollah Mojtaba, uh, Moshe Razai, and he's been out there, uh, saying, look, we're done with negotiations. You know, this idea of like negotiate back to war, negotiate back to war. We're done with it. We're in a war posture in Iran and we're prepared for kind of all-out war at this, at this point. Um, US CENTCOM again announced, you know, earlier in the day yesterday that they were beginning the strikes and they said, all right, we're done with our strikes every day. Now it's been day after day, strike after strike from CENTCOM, you know, but Iran has been, you know, responding, uh, every single time.
And Iran has been, uh, climbing the escalatory ladder as well. Also, Iran says that it was able to strike down an MQ-9 drone over Bushir. About 30 to 35 MQ-9 Reaper drones have already been shot down by Iran since the disastrous and catastrophic, uh, war began. That's over a billion, uh, dollars there, uh, of, of just MQ-9 Reapers, uh, alone. And again, one of the most disconcerting things is CENTCOM kind of covering all of this up, all of the damage that's happening. None of this is really being reported out. So we've got to look at the satellite footage, you know, and, and assess for ourselves what's happening. And again, what appears to be taking place is, as Donald Trump is, you know, as he previously leaked to Barak Ravid, we're going to keep on bombing them really hard, we're going to take out some of their watchtowers, you know, by Bandar Abbas. You have Pete Hegseth posting these photos of like the destruction of some of the maritime watchtowers But that's going to make them want to do a deal with us. That's going to make them want to negotiate with us. And what we've always been saying is, no, quite the contrary.
It's going to make Iran not want to do a deal with you, and it's going to cause Iran to escalate in the region, which is what we're seeing now. Again, another big development I highlighted yesterday: Iran striking hard inside Saudi Arabia. Lots of explosions there. I don't think these Saudi Arabian interceptors were able to, you know, stop all of that. What's fascinating, too, about Iran's strategy is that they seem to be looking at which countries have, you know, some of the more vulnerable areas when it comes to the Patriots interceptors and the THAAD interceptors. It's notable Iran hasn't yet struck into Israel. I think they know that in that area they have a lot of— they have the Golden Dome. And so Iran's like, you know what? We're going to focus on right now because the US is attacking our civilian infrastructure. So we are going to attack your infrastructure in the region in areas that are far less guarded than Israel at this point. So we're gonna strike the Arab nation neighbors and their interests where the American military bases are there. We're gonna maintain control of the Strait of Hormuz. We've got the Houthis on standby in the Red Sea ready to shut down the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
They're also working with allied groups in Somalia, um, and they're prepared to do that, to choke off the Bab el-Mandeb Strait upon, you know, any moment's notice. And then Iran's testing, okay, Saudi Arabia, how strong or weak are their interceptors? Jordan, the interceptors, very weak, keep hitting the Jordan bases. And like right now with impunity, because one of the things I've been warning about too, that people in the military have been warning about, the American munitions, the interceptors or have been reduced to levels where America's like basically run out of the interceptors to give its allies. So, uh, you know, Iran's able to, you know, send these Shaheed, send these interceptors in, see which areas are weak. Jordan's weak, keep on hitting Jordan over and over again. Bahrain's weak, let's escalate not just to the Fifth Fleet area, which may be more well-guarded, let's hit some AI data centers, you know, let's hit some other, uh, areas that that, um, you know, help the United States military coordinate some of these strikes, hit Bahrain, hit Kuwait, um, you know, hit some of these areas. And again, any ships that try to pass the Strait of Hormuz in the non-IRGC lane, Iran shuts down.
And while all of this is happening, as I've been warning about, these strategic petroleum reserves are tank bottom right now in the United States. And so we're right now in this global catastrophe that I've been, um, warning against. Let me share this video with you. You can see even as the US has been striking bridges near Bandar Abbas, you'll see, you know, these Iranian, um, trucking convoys basically just go through the seabed right here. And we'll show you what this looks like, the riverbeds rather. Here, play this clip. Now, we'll also share this with you as well. This footage right here from Iran's Tasnim News showing the bridges that have been hit hard here. Play this clip. In Masir Masud has— The U.S. has also now sent, as again, as they continue to escalate this evacuation order, U.S. Department of State, uh, due to the high tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation. We remind Americans in the region of the continued need for caution and encourage them to monitor the news for breaking developments. Americans traveling in or through the region should also check with their air carriers to make sure their flights are still scheduled.
Americans should reconsider travel to the Middle East, is what the State Department is saying. Let me just show you some of these Iranian Shahids buzzing over the Middle East so you can see. And Iran has thousands of these Shahids. They have thousands of the ballistic missiles, and they are ready to go. They have whole underground cities of this, and they are ready to go. Here, let me just show you this, this Shahid, so you can see for yourself. Here, play this clip. Right, so Donald Trump falling right into the escalatory trap. So the options are at this point, having Donald Trump rip to shreds the memorandum of understanding, and he was never going to abide from it from the outset. You either just go home and leave, which is what should happen. This is a catastrophic and unlawful war. The Trump regime is involved in terroristic acts. They've been killing children, killing civilians, just destroying bridges, um, with, with civilians driving on them, engaging in absolutely heinous conduct. But the United States should just leave, get out at this point. Or the next step, because Iran's not going to give up. These strikes are not making Iran surrender.
In fact, all it's doing is Iran escalates, hit certain areas in Saudi Arabia, the first time they've hit Saudi Arabia since the very beginning of the war, which now, by the way, Pakistan is in a defense pact with Saudi Arabia. So Pakistan says, if you hit Saudi Arabia, we can't mediate, we have to take the side of Saudi Arabia. You have Iran escalating and saying, look, well, we're going to hit, you know, certain— well, if you go after Bandar Abbas, we're going to go after some of the other poor, in the other Arab nations nearby. We've got the Bab el-Mandeb Strait we're ready to shut down as well. And so, you know, Trump's running in this recklessly and carelessly. Trump's next step is, you know, when— and you've been seeing a lot of these kind of neocons saying, you know, do the invasion, take over Keshem, take over Keshem. So they prep the terrain around Keshem, you know, they knock off the bridges around Bandar Abbas to try to cut off reinforcements getting into Bandar Abbas right there on the port, right there by Keshem. And in theory, the idea is you then put the special forces on Keshem.
You say we control the Strait of Hormuz. You probably then, you know, send more B-2 bombers to bomb the Pickax Mountains because they know that's one of the things that, uh, where Trump's like, we gotta bomb Pickax, as they believe that could be an area where Iran may be developing, you know, you know, So it's, it's nuclear, you know, nuclear program or potential capabilities. They bomb Pickaxe Mountain and then Iran's going to respond if they do that by escalating, you know, more than ever. So that's, that's where we're at right now with all of this. We'll keep you posted every step of the way. I just want to kind of give you the update of where I think things are moving. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million subscribers.
