Trump BLINKS as Iran DID IT AGAIN…
This is a breaking news alert. Iran has. launched yet another drone strike in the. Strait of Hormuz. We also believe Iran. launched ballistic missiles into the. Strait of Hormuz. There has been a. number of explosions heard around the. Sirik area. We're waiting to see if. there's any confirmation of any tankers, of any other ships that may have been. hit by the Iranian ballistic missile and. drone strikes that took place moments.
ago. Took place 10:20 p.m. Iranian time. in the evening. There seems to be a lot. of activity there as well. The US Air. Force also seems to be active. You have. five KC-135s, a KC-46A. as well. We are looking to see if. there's any additional data. We will. bring it to you live. This comes at the. same time the Guardian just dropped a.
blockbuster report showing how Donald. Trump's catastrophic and disastrous war. in Iran has bankrupted the US Navy. It. has now forced the US Navy to take money. directly from its own sailors' paychecks. and other sources to cover the costs of. the combat operations. The Guardian. reported this citing new internal. Pentagon documents. They are f u c k e.
d. They shot all of their weapons. They. trashed all of their ships. They ran out. of money, a former US military officer. now working for a navy contracting. company told the Guardian. A Pentagon memo directly warned of. shortfalls in payroll. due to the Department of War raiding. payroll in order to fund combat. operations, a Navy official told the. Guardian, "The money for payroll was.
robbed to pay overseas contingencies. Non-emergency maintenance has already. been postponed. Some contractors were. not getting the money that they were. supposed to be paid. They're getting bad. checks issued to them by the United. States Navy right now. The piggy bank is. broken." A retired naval officer Harlan. Ullman says, "The war has depleted US. munitions, wrecked Middle Eastern US.
bases, left a $67 billion Iran war. emergency funding request currently. stalled in Congress. The US Navy's $300. billion annual budget did not account. for the Iran war." The article was. written by Aurum Rostami over at The. Guardian. It is certainly worth the. read, although I highlighted the main. points right there. This also comes on. the same day that once again, Donald. Trump, in this case Treasury Secretary.
Mnuchin, collectively tacoed once again, yet another capitulation and surrender. You will recall that earlier this week, when Treasury Secretary cited Blaise. Pascal randomly, and the Pascal's wager. randomly, a 17th century French. mathematician's quote, in the threat of. economic D-Day against countries that. continued to do business with Iran. Mnuchin said he would give countries.
until Friday, and then he would make an. announcement that would destroy any. country that dared do business with. Iran. Well, immediately, China's Foreign. Minister Wang Yi said, "We will continue. doing business with Iran." Thereafter, Russia made it clear not only will it be. doing business with Iran, it's going to. be expediting the 25 billion-dollar. nuclear programs in Iran, and that's in. addition to the Bushehr joint venture. nuclear plant that Iran and Russia works.
on together. Also, Pakistan made it very. clear that they will not agree to do. anything. in response to Bessant's economic D-Day. threats. They will continue to do. business with Iran. The Shanghai. Cooperation Organization SCO is set to. meet next week. That is led, of course, by China. Iran will be in attendance. They will be represented at the highest. level. President Peseschkian, Iran's.
member of parliament leader, and Big Al. Abab, Foreign Minister Araghchi, will. all be there. And there is expected to. be some big deals announced with Russia, with China, with North Korea, and other. BRICS nations for Iran. So, because. every country now recognizes that the US. has run out of weapons and run out of. money, what is Treasury Secretary. Bessant doing on Friday? He said, "Today. was the day that he would carry out the.
execution of economic D-Day." He says, this is what his post was. "Treasury. promised to sever every economic. lifeline Tehran has left and finally end. the threat of the Iranian regime. We. also warned that Iran's enablers cannot. continue to enjoy access to the US. dollar and the global financial system. Bank Melli, UAE, decided to find out the. hard way, and today we are taking the. first step in holding it accountable for.
its continued egregious support of the. Iranian regime." So, you're taking the. first step to hold Bank Melli, UAE, accountable? This was the big economic. D-Day? This is it? As Brett Erickson. says, this is unfathomable levels of. taco. You didn't need to have such. bombastic rhetoric in the lead-up to. this. It just continues to destroy any. remaining credibility the United States.
had remaining. Erickson explains, in. perhaps the most embarrassing display of. taco yet in the Iran war, Bessant. threatened to take action against all. major financial institutions, but it was. just an epic taco. Reporting indicates. that the US will be cutting off US. dollar and correspondent banking to the. UAE's branch of Bank Misr, Egypt's. second largest bank. Now, you may say, Egypt's second largest bank, but the.
United States didn't even sanction it. It can still legally conduct business. The Trump administration literally only. cut off dollar clearing and. correspondent banking access to a single. branch. This is the clearest indication that the. world can receive that there is no way. the Trump regime ever carries out its. threats, and it shows how weak it is.
Uh all other sources are saying that uh. US Treasury Secretary Bessant, the US is. launching uh this economic D-Day. Bessant said starting a 30 But what he's. doing is a 30-day process to block. dollar wiring at one Egyptian bank's UAE. branches. and blacklisted a Dubai branch manager. plus a small Hong Kong shell company. That's what the United States has been. reduced to. And talking about what the. US has been reduced to, Donald Trump.
posting weird AI memes of himself. No. more Mr. Nice Guy with a semi-automatic. weapon. And I apparently Iranian cities. being blown up or some cities that are. being blown up. The fall of CENTCOM has. been a very tragic thing to observe as. well. You had Brad Cooper, the CENTCOM. commander, posting a video yesterday. saying that the US now controls the. Strait of Hormuz. We've demined all of.
the Strait of Hormuz, which is just not. true at all. And then he posted weird. royalty-free. Adobe stock video of the Strait of. Hormuz or boats in general, not like the. war, just like random videos of the boat. and random military videos versus what's. actually going on in the Strait of. Hormuz right now. A reminder here is. what he said. Let's play it. >> As recently announced, the US military. has achieved a major milestone in the.
Strait of Hormuz. We have successfully. cleared sea mines in the straits'. international shipping lanes that were. laid months ago by Iran's Islamic. Revolutionary Guard Corps. Internationally recognized transit. routes in the strait are free of Iranian. sea mines thanks to the incredible work. of the US military. >> And while all of that was going on, you. had Donald Trump in Houston. Houston, we. have a problem. He doesn't know how to. use a phone. He was ranting and raving. like a lunatic on the landline phone.
You'll be able to notice in the. background Natalie Harps there. She. looks on very pleased about the. psychotic behavior of her of Donald. Here, play this clip. >> And frankly, the military put their foot. down. The military absolutely put their. foot down. They wouldn't let that. happen. There was almost a revolt. And. now it's it's a part of the whole thing. A lot of these victories, when you look. at Venezuela, when you look at what. we've done with the drug.
people coming in by boat and by land, frankly. And people don't know about so. so. We get all that information from space. and from what the people here and what. some others are doing. So, it's. it's incredible. Incredible how. important it is. Such a big deal. >> Donald Trump is speaking to people on. the International Space Station while. he's at the Houston. NATO headquarters. and Donald Trump starts to compliment. how good-looking one of the astronauts. are and what a great mustache he has.
Let's play this clip. >> What do you like to say with that. beautiful mustache? I want to get a. mustache like. What do you like to say something? Go. ahead. >> Absolutely, sir. I appreciate it. Yeah, the mustache is a lot of fun. You. definitely have to have one in space. It's It's great in microgravity. >> And then Donald Trump is very weird. about like uh. the family members wanted to say hi to. their members family members who are on.
the International Space Station and. Trump wanted to make it all about. himself. You can see for yourself. >> Hi, it's Anna. Great to see you guys up. there. We love you guys. You're doing a great. job. >> Hi, babe. Have a good time up there. We'll see you soon. >> That's not bad, right? How can I let. them stand here and you know, they want to say hello and you want to. say hello. Who needs Trump? We want to.
say hello to them, right? It's an honor. This was a big day. and it's a big day actually for our. country. >> And as I noted, Pakistan, China, um Russia, all countries are continuing to do. business with Iran. No one took economic. D-Day seriously. Iran's secretary of the. Supreme National Security Council Motion. Razie just said, "If the United States. commits any act of aggression against. Iran, we will inflict a disaster upon. their military and economic interests.
that will be recorded in history." Well, that's where we are, folks. We'll keep. you posted every step of the way, as. always. When we learn more about the. strikes that administrative removals, we'll keep you posted. Thanks for. watching, everybody. Before you go, our. book WTF America is available for. pre-order now.
