FURIOUS World Leaders BLOCK Trump from PEACE TALKS
Furious world leaders are kicking Donald. Trump out, finally, for good. World. leaders are saying, "Stay the hell away. from future discussions regarding. regional security in the Middle East. Go. and negotiate your surrender document. with Iran, Donald, Rubio, Vance, and. stay the hell away from what will be. happening in the future of the Middle. East. Saudi Arabia refusing to meet with.
Marco Rubio when Rubio has taken this. trip to the Middle East in order to try. to beg the Middle East countries like. the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and. others to keep American military bases. in the region. MBS, the Crown Prince of. Saudi Arabia, didn't even want to be. photographed or meet with Marco Rubio, which is notable because Saudi Arabia is.
usually the first destination when Rubio. or Donald Trump heads to the Middle. East. Instead, what's taking place? Well, Qatar has announced that there. will be reconciliation discussions with. Iran that will be taking place soon. Iran and the Gulf Cooperation Council in. order to mend relationships and develop. a new security architecture for the.
region since the United States security. umbrella has utterly failed. You have. key business leaders and political. leaders, even in the UAE, saying, "We. were betrayed by the Trump regime." As. noted, MBS and the Saudi Arabia. officials don't even want to meet with. the United States. The Trump regime is. sending a very panicked Marco Rubio to. the region to try to beg, as I noted to. keep American military bases there and.
it is not going well. Rubio continues to misrepresent the. terms that are within the memorandum of. understanding. Iran realizes exactly. what Rubio was trying to do. Rubio was. trying to undermine a meeting that is. now set to take place between the Gulf. Cooperation Council countries and Iran. and Iran's foreign ministry person has. called out the United States yet again. for their antics and earlier yesterday.
Foreign Minister Aragchi of Iran spoke. with his counterpart the Foreign. Minister Al-Saud of Saudi Arabia. Let's. go through with the receipts what's. happening here because I know a lot of. discussion is around the United States. and Iran technical talks arising out of. the memorandum of understanding. The. Middle East countries recognize that is. a document of surrender by the United. States. They also realize and they've.
clinically diagnosed Donald Trump. essentially as a psychopath. So they. know that the MOU is very fragile. They. know that Donald Trump never keeps to a. contract and never keeps his word. So. these Middle East countries are building. a new security architecture designed to. fully checkmate and kick out the United. States. So here's what we learned in the. past 24 hours, but we've been talking. about this development now for quite.
some time. So Saudi Arabia is preparing. to hold a reconciliation summit as Ariel. points out between Iran and Gulf Arab. states in the wake of Iranian attacks on. its neighbors according to AFP citing a. diplomat familiar with the preparations. According to this source, the summit is. aimed at restoring relations between. Gulf states, Iran, and neighboring. countries as well. This would be separate from what the.
United States is negotiating with Iran. Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed. bin Abdulrahman Al Thani says that the. Gulf states and Iran are specifically. negotiating a new regional security. framework, one that relies less on. Washington and more on direct regional. cooperation. And again, this would be. moving away from the Abraham Accords, which was the US-backed effort to get.
Gulf countries allied with Israel under. the US security umbrella with US and. Israel being a dominant force in the. region, and it moves away from that, and. it locates power more with the Arab. nations and now with Iran. As Amin. Jamali explains, for decades, Gulf. security rested on the US umbrella, but. after the drone attacks, shipping. disruptions, and repeated crises,
regional powers are looking for their. own arrangements without the United. States. The Gulf is moving towards a. multipolar security order that includes. Iran. And they're looking at what's. happening right now, even with these. uh purported uh ceasefire discussions. regarding Israel and Lebanon, where. Israel continues to say we are not. leaving Lebanon. We consider these. territories in southern Lebanon to be.
security zones or pilot zones, and from. the reporting out of these ceasefire. discussions, uh there was not only no progress made. in the Israel and Lebanon discussions, but apparently Netanyahu's regime. demanded more territory inside Lebanon. referring to this not as security zones, but we need an addition pilot zones is. how. Israel is referring to it as.
Um, in addition, you had a number of. developments as well. As Babak Vadad. explains, in my view, the emerging. regional order will increasingly revolve. around strategic mutual defense. arrangements between Pakistan and Saudi. Arabia that Tehran appears to have. viewed with interest. Plus other members. of the Islamabad quartet, Egypt, Turkey, with Qatar, Oman, and these other Gulf. Gulf Cooperation Council states. Um, and.
that's why Rubio is going to the UAE to. try to undermine uh what was going on. there and the progress being made there. Um, now, here in the United States, you. had Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. referring to the spokesperson from Iran. and the messaging coming out of Iran. Uh, Bessent goes, "Remember how people. talked about Baghdad Bob? Well, now we.
have Tehran Tim. And they're out there. just making up lies about what the real. deal is between the United States and. Iran.". And this is why the United States has. zero credibility in the region and in. the world right now. Because we all can. actually read what's in the memorandum. of understanding. Treasury Secretary. Bessent is Baghdad Bessent. Donald Trump. is way more foolish than Baghdad Bob. This is what the United States has.
become. Here's what Bessent had to say. Let's play this clip. >> So, when you hear the Iranians, maybe. it's the IRGC, with this public. relations saying the IAEA inspectors are. not coming, the straight war moves is. closed. All of these things day-to-day. get picked up. >> Yeah, just. what what amazes me is the same people a. lot of the hawks in the US who say you. can't believe anything the Iranians say. unless they say it about the. negotiations. Right? Like. believe them for the negotiation.
Remember Baghdad Bob from Iraq? It's. kind of Tarrant him. Right? Like it's. just a lot of big talk and. let's just see how this cooks out, but. I'm optimistic. >> You know, there are certain things that. make you feel good. Maybe it's. celebrating a win, helping someone out, or just taking a moment for yourself. during a busy day. For me lately, it's. been cracking open an Olipop. Olipop is. the feel-good soda. It delivers that. classic soda taste I love, but with 6 g.
of fiber and less sugar than a. traditional soda. Plus, it contains a. functional ingredient blend that. supports digestive health. And if you're. watching the video version right now, you'll notice these refreshed Olipop. cans from their 6-g fiber line. It's the. same Olipop I've already loved, full of. flavor and digestive health support, but. now with the fresh new look that really. shows off the feel-good soda inside. I. also love that Olipop is made with real. ingredients and a thoughtful. formulation. They're category-defining. brand with a mission to impact health at.
scale, and that's something that I can. absolutely get behind. Right now, you. can get a free can of Olipop. Buy any. two cans of Olipop in store, and they. will pay you back for one. It works on. single cans of any flavor at any. retailer. Just head to. drinkolipop.com/meidas. That's drinkolipop.com/meidas, m e i d a s. You can find Olipop in the. soda aisle and with the chilled. beverages at thousands of retailers. nationwide, including Target and.
Walmart. >> Now, as I noted, you had Marco Rubio. scrambling to the Middle East where the. Saudis didn't even want to meet with. him. He went to UAE and Kuwait and Rubio. was asked yesterday, so what do you say. about the America security umbrella. collapsing? And Rubio's like well, we've. got our bases there. What are you. talking about? We've got our we've got.
our weapons there. That's the whole. point Rubio. These countries don't want. you there anymore. >> this clip. >> Existing relationships with these. countries they go back many many. decades. We have troop presences in these. countries. We have assets in these countries. The. security assurances lie in the fact that. these we didn't have to talk about that. because they know it's true. They know. we've been there with them and they've. been in there with us. We have people. there. We have people on the ground. constantly working with them. We have. air defenses embedded with them. We have. aircraft in these countries. So I think. that. I didn't sense any doubts about our our.
security assurances because they're. real. They're they're not promises. They're actions. >> And so what about what about what about. the conventional capabilities that Iran. is going to be able to retain? Can you. make any assurances that about a cap on. missile or drone capabilities? >> Well look, we're going to be completely. aligned with our partners in the Gulf. That's why we're meeting with all of. them tomorrow. That's why I've taken. these trips now. and it's the reason why I'm here. Apart. from thanking them for the incredible. support they gave us throughout this. process, we want them to know and we. want to reiterate and begin to talk to. them and engage them on conversations.
whatever decision is made with regards. to this nuclear issue. We're not going. to do anything that undermines the. security of our allies, our. long-standing allies in the region. So. with. I think that that's something that our. partners believe when we say because. we're doing it. >> We're going to continue to do it. And. we're doing it with them now. Then in. contravention and contradiction of. what's in the MOU, Rubio says we will. never allow Iran to have tolls. regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Nobody.
will accept that. Okay, well, look in. the MOU. The MOU just says no tolls for. 60 days. We could all read the MOU. Here's what Rubio says, let's play it. >> I will be against any mechanism that. charges money to use the international. waterways. It's that simple. The. president's already said it, that's not. going to happen. Um. but we mean open the straits, we mean. open the straits free international. waterways. So, we'll express that. tomorrow. I am certain that not only. will every country in the Gulf region be. supportive, probably with the exception.
of Iran, but all the GCC members will be. supportive, but the whole world will be. supportive. I know of no country on the. planet that supports tolling or a fee. for the use of the straits. That's just. not That's not going to happen. The. president's been abundantly clear. >> Mr. Secretary, what what. >> And then Rubio also in his. meeting with the press after meeting. with the UAE and Kuwait, Rubio almost. acts like there's no deal. He's like, well, you know, we're working through. these terms and you know, we're going to. have to you know, ensure that if Iran.
doesn't do the deal with us, we're going. to have a lot of options at our. disposal. What are you talking about, Rubio? There's an MOU that we can all. read. Those terms now have to be implemented. in a long-form agreement, but this is. why Rubio has and the Trump regime has. zero credibility and why these Middle. East countries are developing a secure a. security architecture without the United. States. Let's play this clip of Rubio. >> has continued his threat to bomb the. straits bomb Iran, excuse me, if it.
doesn't comply with some of its uh. requirements in these negotiations. Is that sort of. you know, in any way, shape or form, complicating these negotiations at. >> No, the the What the president has. stated is very clear. We expect them to. keep their They want to get into a. negotiation, we'll do a negotiation. If. they make commitments at the. negotiation, they need to keep them. If. they don't keep them, the president has. multiple options at his disposal. That. includes sanctions, it includes other. things. So, I think the president's been. clear. If if going to get a deal, it has to be. a real deal and it has to be a good. deal. If Iran wants to make a good and.
real deal, the United States is open to. that. If they're not, then of course the. president has options. We want this to. work out. We hope it works out. But if. it doesn't, the president knows what his. options are and I'm not, you know, that's all I'll say about it for right. now. >> The Washington Post reports the. following. Rocked by the Iran war, the. UAE sours on Trump. We got played. Across the Persian Gulf region, Trump. was once viewed as a pro-business ally, but his decision to wage war on Iran and.
his erratic conduct have tarnished his. image. And as I've said, in the Middle. East, they've clinically diagnosed. Donald Trump as psychotic. Not. hyperbolic, like actually he's a. psychotic human. We all know this. We. didn't need a clinical diagnosis. I. mean, I'm giving you my opinion, of. course. Um but he's not a rational. actor, duh. Um this article goes on to talk about. how. a lots of business leaders in the UAE. basically say, um you know, he.
constantly changes position. I had high. hopes. We got played. He claimed to be a. no-war president. We believed him. We. warned him, "Don't poke the bear. Don't. go to war with Iran." Instead, he. listened to Netanyahu over us. And now. he's destroyed business and he's. destroyed the region. He escalated the. war and then he seems to just walk away. He caused all these problems and then he. just seems to say, "Nah, we don't care about you." And no.
one has any view that Donald Trump could. be trusted in the UAE anymore. I mean, you look at what uh Netanyahu's been. saying just over the past 24 hours. They. told us, "Don't enter Syria." They said. it wasn't wise. They said it wasn't. justified. We went in with full force, just as we did in Lebanon. I told Donald. Trump, "We're going into Iran." I didn't. even have to ask. And then guess what? We went into Iran and Donald Trump. followed me. You have Foreign Minister,
uh the Foreign Ministry spokesperson of. Iran issued the following statement. after Rubio's made all of these. statements that contradict the MOU. The US ruling establishment has never. shown any sincerity in its behavior. toward the Iranian nation. Iran will. while having ample reason for this. suspicion enter the diplomatic process. in good faith and sign the MOU to end. the imposed war. Iranians know that the. enemies animosity will not end with the. signing of a single agreement and they. will take every step with vigilance.
bearing in mind the experience of the. past five decades, especially the. developments of the last year and a. half. The contradictory statements by US. officials regarding the memorandum of. understanding to end the imposed war. will do nothing to reduce the. accumulated distrust of Iranians and. will merely serve as a reminder of past. breaches of faith. The US ruling. establishment must bear in mind that the. principle of commitment for commitment. requires the fulfillment of reciprocal. obligations and the avoidance of.
interpretations that are entirely at. odds with the explicit wording of the. memorandum of understanding. text. So while you have that happening. as I noted, Foreign Minister Aragchi's. been speaking with the counterpart in. Saudi Arabia, Prince Faisal bin Farhan. Al Saud, who says. Israel's military only strategy is only. going to its own interests and. this is why we need to build a new. regional framework. Here's what he says,
let's play this clip. >> The management of the straight was. working fine before the conflict. There. were no issues. Ships were navigating. freely for you know, there was no. safety issue, there was no environmental. issue, there were there were no issues. So why should we now as a result of a. conflict accept some novel. uh arrangement that is going to be. uh. imposed on it? That you know, that to me. doesn't make sense. So, I think. we need to go back to the way it was and.
uh that worked fine and. uh that you know, that that should be. the end of it. >> Well, there you have it, folks. Let me. know what you think. Hit subscribe.
