Transcript [00:00] Well, things are moving fast with this [00:02] Iran situation. So, I'm back to where I [00:05] was in the early days of the war where I [00:06] was doing an Iran update every single [00:09] day. There's brand new headlines, new [00:11] twists and turns in the plot. And in [00:13] this video, we're going to go through [00:15] where things are with the negotiations, [00:16] how the Iranians are talking about it, [00:19] and what to look for as we read between [00:22] the lines. Okay, so let's take a look at [00:23] the headlines. Let's hit it. Trump to [00:25] meet Iran war mediator Qatar. No [00:27] imminent deal seen to end the war. And [00:29] this is talking about a meeting that's [00:30] supposed to take place today. [00:33] Um, US President Donald Trump will meet [00:35] the prime minister of of key mediator [00:38] Qatar on Monday, today as efforts to end [00:40] the Iran war ramp up following last [00:42] week's midterm elections. Though senior [00:44] US and Gulf officials cast doubt on the [00:47] chances of an imminent deal. More than [00:49] eight months into the conflict that he [00:51] launched alongside Israel on February [00:52] 28th, Trump has played down the [00:54] likelihood of major warfare resing soon, [00:57] but remains unwilling to accept an [00:59] existing Iranian truce plan. Now, I have [01:02] to say this Reuters piece, Reuters is uh [01:05] I wouldn't call them a friendly outlet [01:07] and they're kind of spinning things to [01:09] make Trump look bad uh and to make it [01:12] look like he's being unreasonable. I'll [01:13] show you where they're doing that. Shik [01:15] Muhammad bin Abdul Rahman Alani who was [01:18] both prime minister and foreign minister [01:19] of Qatar will meet Trump and Vice [01:20] President JD Vance in Washington later [01:23] on Monday after having visited Tehran [01:25] last week. Iran's proposal to end the [01:27] war involves an end. Look what it says [01:30] here. So they're talking about Iran's [01:32] proposal to end the war. Remember Iran [01:34] said that there are seven conditions. [01:36] Iran's proposal to end the war involves [01:38] an end to the US blockade of its ports, [01:40] the lifting of some sanctions, and a [01:42] halt to bombing in return a halt to [01:46] bombing in return for Thran stopping its [01:48] own blockade of the Straight of Hormuz [01:50] with talks on its nuclear program and [01:52] other sanctions to follow. That [01:55] description is very twisted. It is [01:59] basically a lie. I'll get into that in a [02:02] little bit, but let's first talk about [02:03] what else is happening on this [02:04] negotiation front. We'll get into what [02:06] Iran's proposal actually is. The US has [02:09] repeatedly rejected that plan, which [02:10] Iran has said could be condensed to a [02:13] 2-day time frame with Secretary of State [02:16] Marco Rubio describing Tehran's [02:18] conditions on Sunday as outrageous and [02:20] ridiculous and really not realistic. So, [02:22] you see the way they framed it, you read [02:24] these this proposal, end to the [02:26] blockade, lifting some of the sanctions, [02:28] stop bombing. That's all they want, [02:30] right? So why is he calling it [02:32] outrageous, ridiculous, and really not [02:34] realistic? I'll show you. Okay, so [02:36] that's the basic reporting of what's [02:38] going on. Now um in this report on the [02:42] same meeting Qatar takes Iran mediation [02:44] to Trump as regional peace efforts [02:46] gather gather pace they mention [02:49] something that was not mentioned in that [02:51] last piece and that is that Ibrahim [02:53] Khalen head of Turkeykey's national [02:55] intelligence organization said in a [02:57] conference in Ankura on Monday [03:01] today [03:02] so the head of Turkey's national [03:04] intelligence organization said today [03:06] that Qatar would host JD van Vance, Vice [03:10] President Vance and Iran's Supreme [03:13] National Security Council Secretary [03:15] Mosen Resi next week. Turkey newspaper [03:20] reported Khalen said the planned Doha [03:22] meeting could help advance negotiations [03:24] between Washington and Thran. He warned [03:26] that failure to reach an agreement could [03:28] lead to another US attack on Iran. Now, [03:30] I'll remind you that what was it about a [03:32] week or two ago, JD Vance sent a letter [03:35] to Mosen Resi. Mosen Res is like the [03:37] hardline of the hardline guy, okay? He [03:40] he was like he's been in the security [03:43] establishment there for a very long [03:45] time. He was like one of the leaders of [03:46] the in the Iran Iraq war and he's been [03:49] like the biggest trash talk hardline [03:52] IRGC guy. [03:54] So, and when Vance sent that letter, I I [03:57] talked about this in a video, right? [03:59] justified it by saying that like, you [04:01] know, we're always talking to like, you [04:03] know, the foreign minister and the [04:04] president and then there's these [04:05] hardliners that veto everything. Let's [04:07] go straight to the hardliner. So, he [04:08] wrote them he wrote the guy a letter [04:12] and so now we have the head of Turkish [04:16] national intelligence saying that [04:18] there's a planned meeting between Vance [04:20] and Rizi in Qatar. Okay, it's being [04:22] reported here in Iran International. [04:25] We'll get back to that in a bit. Okay. [04:28] Meanwhile, this I want to focus. The [04:30] reason I say we'll get back to it is I [04:32] want to finish up on this Qatar meeting [04:33] with Trump. Okay, look at this story. [04:36] This is an Israel Hayong $8 billion [04:39] lifeline Iranian deal set to land on [04:41] Trump's desk. The US president will meet [04:43] Qatar's prime minister who is bringing a [04:46] proposal from Tehran to reopen the [04:48] street of Hormuz in exchange for the [04:50] release of $8 billion in frozen funds. A [04:52] diplomatic source tells Israel Hayom. [04:55] Vice President JD Vance is spearheading [04:56] the negotiations despite fierce [04:58] opposition from senior US officials who [05:00] warn that this could save the Iranian [05:02] regime at the last minute. [05:07] Right. Two diplomatic sources familiar [05:09] with the negotiations told Israel about [05:11] this about this uh this proposal. 8 [05:13] billion of in Iranian funds would be [05:15] unfrozen. Iran has apparently dropped [05:18] its demand to control the straight of [05:20] Hormuz [05:21] and collect sorry this jumped around and [05:24] collect transit fees from vessels [05:26] passing through the strategic waterway. [05:28] However, Tehran remains unwilling to [05:30] discuss its nuclear program or even [05:33] signal a willingness to enter [05:34] negotiations on the issue. Now remember [05:36] what we read in in Reuters. Reuters said [05:39] that part of the the agreement is with [05:41] talks on its nuclear program to follow [05:45] and here in this report it says that [05:47] they are refusing to discuss their [05:49] nuclear program. Vice President JD Vance [05:52] along with Witkoff and Kushner are [05:54] advancing negotiations toward an [05:56] arrangement similar to the one reached [05:57] with Iran in Switzerland in May under a [06:00] memorandum of understanding. That's [06:01] theou the Islamabadou that was a [06:04] disaster. The agreement collapsed [06:05] following an Iranian attack on oil [06:07] tankers transiting the street of Hormuz. [06:10] And then it says Vance is also expected [06:12] to meet the Qatari prime minister. [06:15] Um [06:19] Trump remains skeptical about these [06:21] negotiations. [06:22] Okay. The president agreed to accelerate [06:24] the talks as Vance has urged partly [06:27] because of the Republican defeat in the [06:28] congressional midterm elections. [06:30] However, the initiative faces [06:31] considerable opposition in the [06:33] administration. [06:34] According to the same source, Treasury [06:37] Secretary Scott Bessent, who oversees [06:39] the enforcement of sanctions, Commerce [06:41] Secretary Howard Lutnik, Secretary of [06:44] State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War [06:46] Pete Hexath all oppose a deal resembling [06:48] the one reached in May. Of course, [06:50] because it was a lousy deal. So [06:52] according to this report, Vance wants to [06:54] go back to that disastrousou [06:57] which gave them control of straight of [06:58] Hormuz which said nothing about the [07:01] nuclear program at all. It just said [07:03] that they'll discuss it at some later [07:04] date. It gave massive sanctions relief [07:08] and cash to the Iranian regime. [07:12] I mean and it also called on Israel to [07:14] stop all of its operations in Lebanon. I [07:16] mean like it was crazy. [07:19] The officials have criticized the [07:20] prospect of reaching an agreement now [07:22] with one warning with one one of the [07:24] officials warning that it would save the [07:26] regime in Iran at the last minute. Their [07:28] opposition is based on intelligence [07:30] assessments pointing to the collapse of [07:31] Iran's economy. [07:35] Okay. And then it talks about how he is [07:36] under attack from the from the Democrats [07:38] who want to remove him. [07:41] Um, and it says here that during one of [07:43] the latest discussions of the issue, [07:45] Trump was presented with figures showing [07:46] that Iran had sold its last oil tanker [07:49] shipment the previous week combined with [07:52] trade sanctions and the air and naval [07:53] blockades. The figures indicated that [07:55] the Iranian leadership was under [07:57] enormous pressure. Among the findings [07:59] presented were cuts to the salaries of [08:01] IRGC personnel, the suspension of [08:04] funding for terrorist militias in Iraq, [08:06] and the reductions in fuel supplies to [08:08] civilians and industry. During the [08:10] meeting, one participant told the [08:12] president told the president that Iran [08:14] had helped the Democrats win the midterm [08:16] elections by disrupting the global oil [08:18] market and driving up fuel prices. There [08:20] was no reason, the participant argued, [08:22] to reward to Iran for doing so. Vance, [08:26] by contrast, is pushing for an agreement [08:28] that would bring the war to an end early [08:29] next year, almost regardless of the [08:31] cost. [08:33] He just wants he wants out. He believes [08:36] the administration needs time to rebuild [08:37] the American public's trust ahead of the [08:39] presidential election in two years. Then [08:42] it talks about uh other things that that [08:44] that Vance said after the election. [08:46] Okay. Now on this $8 billion Hormuz deal [08:50] when this was announced e even though [08:52] we'll see the Iranians are denying it. [08:54] Oil sinks to $94 as Iran's 8 billion [08:56] Hormuz deal heads to Trump. Brent crude [08:59] fell 3.6% on Monday today. And it ain't [09:03] over yet. As Qatar's prime minister [09:05] headed to the White House, you see, as [09:06] soon as there's a sign that there's [09:07] negotiations in the war might end, we [09:09] saw this months ago, every time there [09:11] was negotiations, suddenly the price of [09:12] oil will go down. If there's less chance [09:15] of attacks, price of oil goes down. So [09:17] you see that there was a rapid drop with [09:19] this uh deal. Now, how are the Iranians [09:23] spinning this? [09:26] Um Thran, [09:28] here we go. And this this deals with [09:30] both issues. Thran denies planned [09:32] meeting between Resi and Vance in Doha. [09:34] A senior Iranian security official has [09:36] denied reports of a possible meeting [09:38] between Mosen Raza, Secretary of Iran [09:40] Supreme National Security Council, and [09:42] Vice President JD Vance in Doha, [09:44] stressing that Thran has no plans to [09:46] negotiate with Washington until the [09:48] United States takes practical steps to [09:50] meet Iran's seven conditions. [09:54] Meanwhile, reports by some Israeli media [09:56] outlets claiming that Iran had agreed to [09:58] reopen the straight of Hormuz in [09:59] exchange for the release of8 billion [10:01] dollars in frozen Iranian assets have [10:03] also been denied. The denial came after [10:05] several media outlets citing the Israeli [10:07] newspaper Israel Hayam reported that US [10:10] President Trump was planning to discuss [10:12] an alleged Iranian proposal to reopen [10:14] the straight of Hormuz in exchange for$8 [10:16] billion in frozen assets during a [10:19] meeting with Qatar's prime minister. [10:20] They're denying it. Okay, on record [10:22] denying it. Now, they keep talking about [10:24] these seven conditions and we keep [10:26] seeing different reporting on what [10:27] they're actually demanding. Right? As I [10:28] showed you in Iran International, I'm [10:30] sorry, in Reuters, it it it kind of [10:33] soft-pled it. It said that they their [10:35] proposal to end the war involves an end [10:37] of the blockade, lifting some sanctions, [10:39] some sanctions, and a halt to bombing. [10:41] That's it. And Rubio called it [10:43] outrageous, ridiculous, and not [10:45] realistic. But then we see uh uh here [10:49] that it's saying well they they they're [10:50] refusing to talk about their nuclear [10:52] program. Um right and right and in [10:55] Reuters it said that they'll talk about [10:56] the nuclear program later. Here it says [10:58] they're refusing to talk about their [10:59] nuclear program. So what are they [11:01] actually demanding? What are their seven [11:03] demands? So this is a UAE uh outlet [11:09] right this this outlet here Khaled [11:10] Times. And what are Iran's seven [11:13] conditions for ending the war with the [11:15] US? What are they? They have seven [11:17] conditions. So, let's just read the [11:19] headlines here. Number one, a complete [11:21] end to hostilities, including Lebanon. [11:24] Okay, including Lebanon, meaning an end [11:27] to Israeli military operations in Gaza [11:30] and Lebanon, incling all of that. So, [11:33] you would have to get So, that's number [11:34] one. That was not mentioned in the [11:35] Reuters piece. Number two, lifting of a [11:38] n of the naval blockade. Number three, [11:40] lifting of Iran sanctions. [11:44] Okay. [11:46] Number four, release of frozen assets, [11:50] right? And how much is that? It could be [11:53] there's there's different assessments of [11:55] how much it is. Is it 100 billion? Is it [11:57] 44 billion? How much is it? It's a lot [11:59] of money. Number [snorts] five, [12:01] reduction of the US military presence in [12:03] the region. Iran wants the United States [12:04] to reduce its military presence across [12:06] the Middle East, seeking a roll back of [12:09] the expanded deployment that preceded [12:11] and accompanied the war. They want [12:13] American forces to go to leave the [12:16] Middle East to to move back to their [12:18] pre-war levels. Number six, compensation [12:22] for war damages. They want the United [12:24] States to pay reparations [12:26] for the damage done to them in this war. [12:29] And that's about $270 billion in direct [12:31] and indirect damage. They that's what [12:33] they they want the United States to pay [12:35] reparations to them. Number seven, an [12:37] end to US attacks on Iranian territory. [12:39] So Reuters just says an end to attacks, [12:42] the lifting of some sanctions [12:45] and [12:47] and uh what was the last one? And [12:50] lifting the blockade. They left out [12:53] things like paying war reparations and [12:55] demanding that Israel stop all of its [12:57] operations in Gaza and Lebanon. Right? [13:00] So, it's not exactly not exactly the [13:02] same, but this is what Iran whenever [13:03] Iran says the seven conditions, this is [13:05] what they mean. All right. [13:08] Now, where does this all leave us? [13:12] So, I want to show you a dynamic that is [13:15] all about how Iran [13:19] negotiates and how they behave. And this [13:21] is a pattern we've seen going all the [13:22] way, if you go all the way back to the [13:23] beginning of this, one of the patterns [13:25] that we see is that whenever the [13:29] Americans are signaling that they're [13:33] that they're not going to be attacking [13:35] and that they're interested in [13:36] negotiations and that and that they'd [13:38] like to get a deal, [13:40] that's when the Iranians dig in [13:44] and get more hard line. Now, why do they [13:47] do this? [13:49] You'll remember a number of months ago [13:53] um [13:55] where a number of US officials were [13:57] saying, you know, I remember um Kushner [13:59] saying this and Witco and Trump himself [14:03] saying that like, you know, I don't know [14:04] why the Iranians, they just deny that [14:06] we're negotiating even though we're [14:07] negotiating. They do this all the time. [14:09] Why do they do that? [14:11] Because in their world view, [14:16] negotiating is a sign of weakness. [14:21] compromise [14:22] which we in the west view as a virtue [14:27] to reach compromise. [14:30] They do not view compromise as a virtue. [14:33] It's just not culturally they do not. [14:36] Compromise for them is weakness. It's [14:39] failure. It's defeat. That's what [14:42] compromise is. [14:44] So when the United States is moving [14:47] towards compromise and when the United [14:49] States is signaling that they're not [14:52] interested in attacking or they can tell [14:54] that they're not interested in attacking [14:56] like right now you have the Qataris and [14:59] the Turks and the Pakistanis and the [15:02] Egyptians and everyone's talking to the [15:04] Americans and and the Qatari prime [15:06] minister is in Washington right now. [15:08] They know that the Americans are not [15:11] going to harm their relationship with [15:14] the Qataris and the Turks in such a way [15:17] that like while they're talking to them, [15:19] while the Qatari prime minister is in [15:21] the West talking to Trump, they're not [15:23] going to attack that day. And they know [15:25] and and then Trump goes ahead and says, [15:28] "Return to war with Iran. Highly [15:30] unlikely." He said this yesterday. [15:34] Okay? He said the answer is highly [15:37] unlikely that it's going to be [15:38] necessary. It I would if necessary, but [15:40] we hit them really hard. Right? So when [15:42] he says that it's highly unlikely [15:45] and that he's not going to attack them [15:46] so long as they're negotiating, which is [15:48] what he said. [15:50] So So as long as there's some progress [15:52] in the negotiations, we're not going to [15:53] attack. That's what he said. When he [15:56] says that, that is an invitation to the [15:58] Iranians to issue threats [16:02] became [16:04] Americans looking weak in their eyes, [16:08] but also it's a freebie because they [16:11] know the Americans don't want to attack. [16:12] So, it's a perfect time to issue a [16:14] threat. If I issue a threat to someone [16:16] bigger and stronger than me at a time [16:19] that I know he has incentive not to hit [16:22] me or that I know that he's not [16:23] interested in hitting me, that he [16:25] doesn't want to, I can issue the threat [16:27] and then when he doesn't hit me, I can [16:29] look strong because I issued a threat [16:33] and he didn't do anything. So, it's a [16:36] good it's a it's a positioning thing. [16:38] It's an opportunity to reposition [16:40] yourself as in a strong place. Okay, [16:43] that's what they're doing. They try to [16:45] humiliate the Americans that way. So, [16:48] Trump making a statement like this and [16:50] them knowing that Vance is saying that [16:53] this whole thing was a mistake and that [16:55] he wants to negotiate and that Trump is [16:56] giving him an opportunity to and Vance [16:59] is planning a trip out to Qatar. Now, of [17:00] course, Trump is not going to attack [17:03] between when he tells Vance you can go [17:05] to Qatar to negotiate and Vance goes to [17:07] Qatar to negotiate because he's not [17:09] going to undermine him. he's going to [17:10] allow him to go through the motions of [17:12] negotiation. Then Trump says it's highly [17:13] unlikely. This is an invitation to the [17:16] Iranians. And sure enough, what do we [17:17] see? This is from yesterday. Iran gives [17:21] the US a two-day diplomacy ultimatum. [17:23] Now, why do they do that? Because they [17:25] know that Vance is planning to go next [17:26] week. And by giving an ultimatum to the [17:29] Americans and then the Americans don't [17:31] live up to it, they make the Americans [17:32] look look weak. Iranian Foreign Minister [17:36] Abbasar Ragshi on Sunday warned the US [17:39] to either accept Thran's latest offer to [17:41] end the more than eight-month war or [17:43] face military escalation [17:46] as President Trump mulls further strikes [17:48] after the midterms. It's designed to [17:51] make the Americans nervous. It's [17:52] designed to humiliate them. It's [17:54] designed to make themselves look tough [17:56] because they know there's no [17:57] repercussions. The Americans aren't [17:58] going to attack them now anyway. Get [18:00] what I'm saying? American voters have [18:02] made their choice. This is what Aragchi, [18:04] so the foreign minister Abbas Arachi put [18:06] up a post on X where he wrote, "American [18:08] voters have made their choice. Time for [18:10] the White House to make its own." And [18:13] then he wrote, "Our two-day proposal [18:17] stands. Meet the requirement, including [18:20] end to war on all fronts, meaning Gaza [18:22] and Lebanon, and you will see results. [18:25] Or choose war and see our alert and [18:28] battleh hardened warriors rain down [18:30] hell. [18:32] The warning from Thran comes as [18:34] mediators push Washington and Thran to [18:36] reach an agreement to end the conflict [18:37] with Qatar leading diplomatic efforts [18:39] backed by Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, [18:41] and Turkey. And as I mentioned in [18:43] yesterday's video, all of these [18:45] countries do not want the regime to [18:47] fall. They hate the regime. They're [18:49] happy with it being weak, but they're [18:51] desperate to save it. [18:53] Iraq Iran has offered to reopen the [18:55] Straight of Hormuz, a critical waterway [18:58] uh blah blah blah if the US agrees to [19:00] several conditions, including lifting [19:02] sanctions and releasing billions of [19:04] dollars of frozen Iranian assets. They [19:06] always leave out the most absurd part of [19:09] their demands that they want war [19:12] reparations and they want Israel to stop [19:14] everything it's doing in Lebanon and [19:16] Gaza because that's the really [19:18] unreasonable demands that are in there. [19:21] war reparations. Americans not gonna pay [19:22] them war reparations. And also the [19:25] withdrawal of US forces. They they these [19:28] the Hill Reuters, they make it seem that [19:31] the Iranians demand is more reasonable [19:33] than it is. This is how you have to read [19:35] the media critically. See what they're [19:37] doing. Now, [19:40] along the lines of what I just said [19:41] about how they view negotiations, look [19:43] at how Mossen Resi, this head of the uh [19:48] the National Security Council, most he's [19:50] the he's the top military guy, [19:54] he's like the secretary of war or right [19:57] or secretary of defense, whatever you [19:59] want to call it in other countries. He's [20:01] the guy in charge. The hardliner that I [20:03] was talking about that Vance wrote a [20:04] letter to. Look what he says. This is [20:06] from yesterday. Vance conceded defeat. [20:09] You see, when JD Vance puts out uh an [20:13] expost saying we lost the midterms [20:15] because of the war because the war was [20:16] such a disaster, but also when JD Vance [20:19] sends him a letter saying he wants to [20:21] meet with him and negotiate with him. As [20:23] far as he's concerned, this is all [20:24] weakness. This is all admission of [20:26] defeat. [20:28] Vance conceded defeat. [20:31] That's how he interprets it. Iranian [20:34] Supreme National Security Council Mosen [20:35] Razi said in a post on Saturday that US [20:37] Vice President JD Vance had conceded [20:39] defeat. This is a guy who's supposed to [20:41] be meeting with Vance. He's denying it, [20:42] but the but the Turks the Turkish [20:44] intelligence says that there's supposed [20:45] to be a meeting. Vance is flying out to [20:47] Doha. And even if he doesn't meet him [20:50] directly, Vance is the one who's going [20:51] to negotiate. And look what he's doing. [20:52] He's humiliating Vance. This is what the [20:55] Iranians do. They want to humiliate the [20:56] people they're negotiating with. [21:01] Vance has conceded defeat. Rubio's [21:03] preparing to leave. Hexath will be [21:05] dismissed. Who should we deliver this [21:08] message to in Washington? If you start a [21:09] war, you will face a devastating [21:11] response. [21:14] Okay. Now, finally, I just want to end [21:16] this off with well before I get to this. [21:18] Before I get to this one last fun thing, [21:21] but before we get to it, I have to [21:22] remind you about a very important [21:24] webinar we're hosting next Wednesday. [21:26] You don't want to miss this one. [21:28] Terrorism, sanction, and lies. The war [21:30] on Judea and Samaria. Folks, hear me [21:33] out. If you watch this channel and you [21:35] value my analysis, [21:37] I'm telling you straight up. Judea and [21:40] Samaria, what is falsely called the West [21:43] Bank, is going to become more and more [21:46] of a hot button political issue in the [21:49] coming months and year, two years. It is [21:52] going to be an increased increasingly a [21:55] military hot spot. I don't say that [21:57] excitedly. It's going to get really [22:00] heavy there. And even now we see the [22:03] sanctions coming out of European [22:04] countries. We see uh against Judea and [22:07] Samaria. We see all the condemnations [22:09] every time Israel moves in Judea and [22:11] Samaria. We see the demonization of the [22:13] Jews who live out there through all [22:16] these lies about this widespread u [22:20] settler violence which is not so [22:21] widespread. There's, you know, and and [22:23] meanwhile there's also terrorism, waves [22:25] of terrorism coming at the people out [22:27] there. Judea and Samaria is under [22:29] attack. And we're going to have this [22:31] webinar. You don't want to miss this. [22:33] Ambassador David Freriedman, former US [22:35] ambassador to Israel, will be with us. [22:37] Naomi Khan, director of international [22:39] division of Rigavim, that's an [22:40] organization that really has its finger [22:41] on the pulse of everything going out [22:43] going on in Judea and Samaria. Professor [22:45] Eugene Kurovich, expert, [22:48] worldwide expert in international law [22:50] and also a uh a senior research fellow [22:53] at the Heritage Foundation.

He's going to bring [23:40] us an update from there. It's going to [23:42] be a great webinar this coming [23:43] Wednesday, I'm sorry, not this coming [23:45] Wednesday, Wednesday the 18th.

Okay, last headline I [24:20] want to do and this is not apppropo of [24:23] the negotiations or what we've been [24:24] talking about but it's a story that I [24:26] have been covering extensively which is [24:29] the false claims by the Iranians that [24:32] ships are hitting mines just to review [24:35] if you're new to this channel going back [24:37] a few months all the way do you remember [24:39] when the Americans announced that the [24:42] straight of Hormuz is clear of mines [24:46] and that was very good for oil prices [24:48] and And that's when the oil started [24:50] really coming out in large quantities. [24:51] And there's a lot of oil coming out of [24:52] the straight of Hormuz now. They said [24:54] that they they announced, I think it was [24:55] back in July, that they had cleared all [24:57] the mines out of the straight of Hormuz. [24:59] Shortly thereafter, the Iranians [25:01] actually tried to launch mines on a [25:03] rocket to remine the strait by putting [25:06] which was obviously an admission that [25:08] there was no more mines. But be that as [25:10] it may, ever since then, every few days, [25:13] the Iranians put out a news item [25:16] announcing that some ship hit a mine. [25:20] And I believe that these are all [25:22] nonsense, that these are all BS, that no [25:25] ships are hitting mines. They are firing [25:27] on ships periodically, [25:30] but no ships are hitting mines. How do I [25:32] know? Because every single story, [25:34] everyone bar none, every single story [25:37] about a ship hitting a mine, there's no [25:40] incident report from the international [25:43] monitoring organizations that moni that [25:45] usually monitor these incidents. [25:47] Um, there's no details about the ship [25:50] and it's always just a statement from [25:52] the IRGC that a ship hit a mine. H [25:55] whereas when ships are hit by [25:58] projectiles [26:01] and it's real, there's a UK MTO report, [26:06] an incident report from the maritime [26:09] monitoring agency, [26:11] the international uh monitoring agency. [26:13] It's run by the UK. And the Iranians [26:17] themselves when they publish stories [26:19] they like to amplify every single story [26:20] of a ship getting hit in the straight of [26:22] Hormuz by anything because they want to [26:24] project that they're still in control of [26:25] the straight of Hormuz and and and and [26:28] that it's closed. [26:31] Never. When when they claim a ship hits [26:33] a mine, it's BS. And and finally today, [26:35] what do they put out? They put out this [26:38] blanket [26:40] claim, [26:41] no war mines have been cleared in the [26:43] Straight of Hormuz. Look at this. The [26:45] spokesman for Iran's for the IRGC has [26:48] rejected reports that naval mines have [26:51] been cleared from the straight of [26:51] Hormuz, stressing that no such operation [26:54] has taken place. Brigadier General Hosen [26:56] Mohi was responding to President Trump's [26:58] claim that the United States had control [27:00] over the straight of Hormuz. He said [27:01] recent incidents involving several oil [27:03] tank oil tankers in the waterway had [27:05] exposed the falsehood of Washington's [27:07] claim. He questioned how the United [27:09] States could claim control over the [27:10] strait while several incidents involving [27:12] vessels were occurring every day. He [27:14] also dismissed statements by Trump that [27:16] you that Sentcom Brad uh commander Brad [27:18] Cooper said about the clearance of naval [27:21] mines from the waterway, describing them [27:22] as completely false. No war mines have [27:25] been cleared from the straight of [27:26] Hormuz. The claim is an outright lie. [27:28] The IRGC spokesman concluded by saying [27:30] that no one would dare enter the [27:31] straight of Hormuz to conduct mine [27:33] clearing operations. It's a great news [27:35] story. I love this. I laughed when I saw [27:36] it because it's just like, "No, no, no, [27:38] no, no. We still have mines. We still [27:40] have mines." just claiming that it's a [27:41] lie because the worst thing for them is [27:45] if the whole world knows that they [27:47] actually have no control over the [27:48] straight of Hormuz. Now they still have [27:50] some control because they still are [27:52] firing projectiles which is why the [27:53] United States in its recent air strikes [27:56] has been hitting these spots around the [27:58] straight of Hormuz the Keshum you know [28:00] Keshum Island sir Jas the various port [28:03] cities around the straight of Hormuz [28:04] that's what they're hitting because [28:05] they're trying to stop these last [28:07] vestigages of the Iranian ability to [28:09] shoot at ships but there are no mines in [28:11] the straight of Hormuz this piece uh it [28:14] almost [laughter] confirms it you know [28:16] like just claiming that it's all a lie [28:19] that there still are mines. And I'm [28:21] still waiting for a news item about a [28:23] ship hitting a mine that has any [28:25] information identifying information [28:27] about the ship. [28:29] And again, stories about ships getting [28:31] hit often have identifying information [28:33] about the ship. Never when it hits a [28:35] mine. Not for the last few months. [28:37] Anyway, I wanted to share that with you. [28:39] For those of you who are regulars to [28:40] this channel, I figured you'd get a kick [28:42] out of it.
