All HELL BREAKS LOOSE as Trump EXPANDS IRAN STRIKES!!!
All hell is breaking loose as the United. States has been bombing Iran all day. Earlier in the morning, we saw massive. strikes. There was a brief gap, and then. for the past 5 hours, the United States. has been striking Iran. We've been. seeing visuals of the aftermath of some. of these strikes, and Iran has been. responding as well, striking back at. United States military assets in nearby. Arab nations. The United States military. told the New York Times that today's.
strikes were significantly bigger than. any of the recent strikes. CENTCOM put. out a statement as well, saying that it. was continuing to strike targets. throughout the Strait of Hormuz and even. deeper into Iran. Uh areas such as Qeshm, Sirik, Bandar. Abbas, Jask, Bushehr, where there's a uh. nuclear power plant, and uh. the area where this nuclear power plant. was was hit as well. Kondab, Bandar. Mashahr, Bandar Daylam, Siraf, Asaluyeh,
Abadan, and Khorramshahr um were all uh. hit by the United States. Let me just. share this with photo with you right. here. This is a violent strike that was. seen in Sirik in Iran. Also, take a look. at this massive plume of black smoke. rising from Qeshm Island near the Strait. of Hormuz following the heavy US. bombardment uh earlier in the day. Let's. play this clip.
Now, earlier in the day, in response, Iranian forces carried out an attack. targeting the ATACMS. Those are those. ground-to-ground missile systems, those. HIMARS ATACMS systems uh in Kuwait. Three Iranian missiles seemed to. directly connect and strike and destroy. these American ATACMS right here. Uh. let's take a look at this video as well.
Now, notably, uh, that area in Kuwait. where the Iranian forces carried out the. strike against those ATACMS, that. appears to be a former UN base at the. Kuwait-Iraq border area, very close to. Iran. So, the Iranian, uh, facilities.
that were hit, uh, a MQ-4C Triton drone. hanger was destroyed by Iran in the. Prince Sultan Air Base in Jordan. A. hanger was damaged at the Al Udeid Air. Base in Qatar. Uh, the Iranians were. able to strike a storage facility at the. US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain. Uh, also, that area in Kuwait that we. just showed you there. The US targeted. an area right by this Bushehr nuclear. power plant. Um, the plant itself.
doesn't seem to be hit, but some of the. surrounding areas seem to have been, uh, targeted. Again, very close, uh, which. would have, uh, not just destroyed power. to Iran. I mean, that's not where. nuclear weapons are being made, but. that's an important power source, not. just for Iran, but for surrounding Arab. nations as well. Um, also, Iran's largest petrochemical. hub in Mashhad, uh, seems to have been hit by these US. air strikes. And then Iran responded by.
targeting, uh, a drilling platform owned. by a Kuwait oil company uh, was targeted. by an Iranian drone. This according to. the Kuwaiti army. So, we're back to. these infrastructure-for-infrastructure. strikes. Turning our attention to the. Strait of Hormuz right now, there's been. virtually no traffic through the Strait. of Hormuz at all. A ship or two that. that's either Chinese based or Chinese.
affiliated or Iran affiliated using the. Iran route. Um now it's possible there. are other tankers and VLCCs that are. turning their. their tracking devices off so they can't. be seen. Um but you know, Iran has been. targeting those ships and so it doesn't. appear there are any ships uh in a. meaningful volume leaving the Strait of. Hormuz which as we reported earlier has. been effectively shut down by Iran. Donald Trump's posting lunatic photos.
right now. I mean, he just posted these. photos. They they appear to be AI. enhanced of fighter jets and then he's. posting AI images of airplanes uh. military jets flying over Washington. D.C. Um and meanwhile, uh you have CENTCOM posting the. following. Uh the Strait of Hormuz is. open for transit. It's open everybody. I'm going to try to manipulate the. market obviously and it's just not. working anymore. The Strait of Hormuz is. open to all vessels seeking to lawfully.
transit the international waterway. US. forces are positioned and prepared to. ensure that freedom of navigation. remains available despite unwarranted. Iranian aggression, harassment, threats, and arbitrary declaration. Iran does not. control the Strait of Hormuz. Traffic is. flowing. But if you actually look at. this graphic as well, notice what it. says. Strait of Hormuz open for transit. Pathways for free transit through the. Strait of Hormuz remain open. Iran does. not control the international waterway,
the CENTCOM graphic says. And it says. 140 ships have transited the Strait in. the last 7 days. So even if you accept. that as true, before Donald Trump and. Netanyahu launched the unlawful and and. war in Iran, there was 140 to 150 ships. a day that went through the Strait of. Hormuz. Now they're bragging right now, 140 ships every 7 days. Even if you. accept what they're saying as true, which we know they lie about everything.
Also, CENTCOM posted this. The Iranian. commander for the Islamic Revolutionary. Guard recently said on state-owned media. that no foreign vessels may pass through. the Strait of Hormuz without being. identified, tracked, and monitored by. Iranian forces. Fact, Iran does not. control the Strait of Hormuz. It remains. an international waterway. US forces are. positioned and prepared to keep it that. way. Actually, we've seen the Abraham. Lincoln supercarrier and the George H.W. Bush actually move back in the Strait of.
Hormuz um and not all that close to the. coast of Iran. Um this is the video that. they posted or that they were talking. about. This is the new Iranian Sepah. Navy commander. Here's what he had to. say. >> All the vessels from extra-regional. countries, the foreign vessels, as they. enter the Strait of Hormuz, well, at one time they used to move. north of Greater Tunb Island. where there's a waterway. But now that. security is established on this side,
they pull themselves to the coast near. the coast on the other side of the. water, which is no problem. There hasn't. been a single vessel passing through. here that we didn't monitor. Either by air or by sea, our sea our air. patrols are always constantly alongside. them and above them monitoring them. Given the presence of. vessels from extra-regional countries, they do transit this area, but they are. monitored day and night.
There hasn't been a single vessel that. slipped past the guys' eyes without them. seeing and monitoring it. They. are right in front of them monitoring, identifying, and even if necessary, questioning the foreign vessels and. warning them not to enter our. territorial waters. And because of this, we have seen that so far, no foreign. vessel that we don't want here has. entered our territorial waters up to. now.
Rest assured, the Americans, well, they. have planes. You've seen their equipment. is there, too. They have equipment, they. have planes, they have vessels. The. aircraft carrier is 320 m long with 70. 45 planes on it. They have the best. tools. But what don't they have? They don't have faith. >> Also, some of the IRGC soldiers putting. out videos as well. This was a video. that they put out. on the boats in the Strait of Hormuz, um, calling Donald Trump out directly. You.
can see for yourself. Here, play this. clip. >> We say we have a blood feud with you for. bombing the Mina'ed Elementary School. and for our young men who perished on. the Dana warship. When Trump said, "I could have captured. them, but I hit them [music] because it was. more exciting.". Well, that's fine. The world is round. and our commandos will see you on these. islands and they'll pump so much. adrenaline into you, and this clash will get so intense. that you'll end up losing your lives on.
the soil of this island. We'll see each other soon. >> [music]. >> You know, notably, while the United. States claims that no US. uh service members or no uh civilians. working with the US have been injured in. the strike so far, not sure that's true. Open-source indicators suggest the. official US assessment that no personnel. were injured seems to be incomplete. Publicly observable flight activity. shows a US Air Force C-17 aeromedical.
evacuation mission transporting patients. from Jordan to the Ramstein Air Base in. Germany earlier today. The available. data indicates the patients did not. originate from the same location where. the aircraft picked them up, suggesting. they were first moved from another. location in order to meet the flight to. Germany. This could indicate the. patients were sustained had sustained. injuries at locations not readily. accessible to the C-17s. Also, we're. seeing video footage, which allegedly. shows the launch of ground-based.
missiles, possibly these ATACMS. coming from uh Kuwait. And that's why we. see Iran continuing to strike Kuwait and. Bahrain, because that's where we're. seeing the US use a lot of these ATACMS. to strike uh. uh to strike Iran. from uh there. Uh Iran's Foreign. Ministry has warned all countries. hosting US military bases used to attack. Iran that they are entitled to now treat. these countries as hostile in accordance.
with international law and that they. won't hesitate to shoot at and strike. these countries. More photos and. footage, this from Al Ghajarri Airport. in Iran, you see over here uh that was. struck by the United States. We'll keep. you posted every step of the way. Um but. this is a real massive escalation. indeed. Uh hit subscribe. Let's get to 7. million subscribers. Thanks for watching. everybody. >> Thanks for watching. Be sure to add the.
