Trump LOSES IT as he’s HAUNTED BY FUNERAL!!!

Donald Trump was stunned and panicking. at the sheer size of the funeral for the. late Ayatollah Khomeini. Tens of. millions of Iranians showed up at this. funeral procession. The stadium in. Tehran was packed and they kept on. cycling in new groups of hundreds of. thousands of people. And as I looked at. just the sheer volume of the amount of. people in Tehran and neighboring cities.

who came out to honor Ayatollah. Khomeini. The amount of people who were. there, you know, one of the things that. I thought to myself is, you know, really. you were thinking about doing a ground. invasion Trump regime? You were thinking. about going into that country with. American troops and turning our military. essentially into a meat grinder out. there? That's what I was thinking as I. saw those sights. I was also amazed.

actually, not just at the size, but who. attended these funeral processions of. the Ayatollah. Dozens and dozens of. countries attended, top dignitaries from. these countries attended, and it seems. that as the Trump regime and Netanyahu. invaded to try to isolate Iran from the. rest of the world, it just completely. backfired in their face and it seems. more and more countries are actually. there showing support with Iran and I.

know not a lot of Western media is. showing this. I know there's some. reporters on the BBC who have hat tip to. them, hat tip to others who are showing. this and sharing this. And I just think. it is important to see these images, to. be aware of what the heck is actually. going on there because. I'll give you my own perspective, which. is I do think that the Iranian regime is. not the most popular thing in Iran and.

I'm not being an apologist for the. Iranian regime by any means at all. I do. want to reflect on the situation here. where there does seem to be. at least in an international level. support. I mean you had the top Chinese. dignitaries. Saudi Arabia sent. dignitaries there. I mean you had a lot. of people showing up and even Donald. Trump you know, was saying, "Wow, I'm. surprised that there were people who. were millions of people who were crying.

for the Ayatollah." The Ayatollah for. the Shia community, you know, was like. their Pope. It's like you killed their. Pope. You killed their spiritual leader. and the leader of Iran who was very old. to begin with, who was losing popularity. within the population. He's now replaced. by his son, the Ayatollah Mojtaba. Khamenei. And you now made the Ayatollah. Khamenei a martyr and you actually. unified the people of Iran. And even in.

the metropolitan areas where I think. there is far less support for this. Iranian regime right now, they don't. want the United States and Netanyahu to. take over. In my opinion, they see. what's happened in Gaza and the genocide. there. They see what's going on in. Lebanon in the name of security zones. They see the consequence of that. And if. you look at what's going on and you. study it, what I'm saying is reflective.

of the data that I believe our. intelligence community knew and they. were trying to communicate with Donald. Trump and Netanyahu was saying, "No, that's not true. Iran's going to fall. right away immediately. It's just going. to be 24 hours. They're going to welcome. Netanyahu and Trump as conquering. heroes." Yeah, we said that was never. going to happen at all. And then, you. know, Donald Trump chose to believe. Hegseth and Rubio were like, "This is. just going to be easy. This is going to. be easy." And I showed you some B-roll.

there at the top of what this, you know, funeral looked like for the Ayatollah. Let me just show you at a granular level. some of the data. By the way, here is a. list of the countries that sent official. delegations. Turkey, India, Pakistan, China, Russia, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Iraq, Georgia, Armenia, Afghanistan, Oman, Qatar, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Uzbekistan, Tunisia, Lebanon, Malaysia, Cuba, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Gambia, Thailand, Nicaragua, Ghana. I mean, I I can go on and on and.

on. Millions of Iranians were outside to. attend the first day of the farewell. ceremony of the Ayatollah. 35° C. heat. They prepared for that. They had. mist stations right there. They're also. giving out free food. I saw free. watermelon. I saw, you know, a bunch of. free free drinks. Show you over here as. the eulogist at the Tehran prayer hall. says, "We have not come to bury our. leader. We have come to avenge him." Oh, avengers of the martyred leader. Here,

let's play this clip right here. Donald Trump told Axios that he was. surprised about how big the crowd was. Uh. how how people were crying for the. Ayatollah. That shocked and surprised. him. Take a look right here. Uh some of. the scenes below of the morning taking.

place. And you could be like, uh uh they're paying the people to show. up there. You told me that they're. paying millions of people to show up. there. Y'all told me that they don't. have any money. You said that they're. broke. They're about to go bankrupt. That that or that they have zero. support, that nobody supports this. regime. By the way, I Let me be clear. again. I think that there are people. there. We saw the protest in January. I. think there are people there who are. critical. I think there are tens of.

millions of people who are deeply. critical and don't want this Iranian. regime. I also think in Iran there are. millions of people who support the. regime. I I just think that's the that. that's the fact and it's a 90 million. person country. It's far bigger than. Iraq. And the the the stronghold. of the regime is there. It's it's it's. not a regime that can easily be toppled. I just think that's the You go, "Ben, I. don't like what you're saying." I'm just. telling you what I think the reality is.

right here. Let's just play that clip. right here so you can see some more. scenes. Now, there were lots of people who were. holding up kill Trump flags that were. raised during the farewell ceremony. Lots of writing on the walls. We will. kill It says, "We will kill hashtag at. the Khomeini funeral ceremony." US. official to Axios says, "Yeah, many of.

Trump's closest advisers now think that. Netanyahu was wrong about everything.". Yeah, you think? You think he was wrong. about everything? Of course he was. But. Trump was wrong about everything. I. don't view it just as, "Oh, Netanyahu. convinced him." This is the president of. the United States. Netanyahu tried to do the same thing. with Obama and Biden and Hillary Clinton. and everybody and they didn't fall for. it. They stood up. They pushed back. against it. Take a look right here. Trump said that he was surprised to see. Iranians crying at Khomeini's funeral.

saying he thought the people hated the. former supreme leader and suggesting. that displays of grief might not be. genuine. I was surprised to see some. Iranians crying, Trump said. I thought. the people hated Khomeini. Maybe it's. fake tears. Trump said if we wanted to, the US could strike Iran's leadership. gathered for the funeral, but we won't. because we want to preserve nuclear. negotiations. One shot, we can take them. all out. We you you're fantasizing about.

what nuclear bombing a funeral? Like. that's what you're fantasizing about? But we're not going to do that because. we would have nobody to negotiate with. What a What a sick thing to say. By the. way, here are more images right over. here. I mean, you can hear I mean, the. people in Iran are pissed. They're. chanting death to America at the Tehran. Mosalla during the ceremony of Ayatollah. Khomeini. As Brad Erickson says, just to. clarify. So, people are trying to. simultaneously make the claim that the.

Iranian economy is on the verge of. collapse and yet the regime is paying. for millions and millions of people to. attend the funeral. Does that make sense. to you? No, it doesn't make sense at. all. Here, play this clip. Because here's what the Israeli Persian.

account, the Mossad Persian account put. up there. Uh they write the following. Many. arrived not to mourn, but just to make. sure the Ayatollah is dead. Now, do I think that there are lots of people. in Iran. who would like to see a regime change? Yes, I do. I do think there are. They. were out protesting. Trump said he was. going to save them and make their lives. better in January, and he didn't. He he. threw them under the bus. He He said I'm. help is on the way, and then and then.

and then didn't. By the way, the same. thing that Lindsey Graham says about. Lebanon, help is on the way. But uh of. this propaganda I mean this Western. propaganda this Israeli propaganda it. just stop. That we have to. that the people didn't rise up after the. bombing began after you blew up Menna. Bell Elementary School and killed 168. little girls. And you know what I also. reflect upon right now as well because. it's important that we um learn our. history. about Iran Air Flight 655. Now that I'm.

recording this video on July 5th, I want. everybody just to do a little bit of. research on Iran Flight 655. which was an Iranian commercial flight. that in 1988 on July 3rd was shot down. by a US battleship right there uh the. USS Vincennes shot this commercial. uh airplane uh this commercial flight. down. It was a an Airbus that was flying.

over uh the Strait of Hormuz during the. Iran and Iraq War. 290 people aboard. Iran Air Flight 655 were killed. The. United States never apologized for it. Happened on July 3rd, 1988. and the US was like, "Oh, the Iranian. commercial flight." By the way, they had. the pilots were like very experienced. pilots who trained in the US. We brought. our battleships in there because of the. Iran and the Iraq War. Uh the few weeks.

before the Iraqis attacked a US uh ship. and killed 37 uh US soldiers mistaking. it for Iranians. That put the US. military on high alert, but you were in. the Strait of Hormuz with your. battleships. You were in the Persian. Gulf, you know, to begin with and then. the US saw this commercial uh airplane. not ship commercial airplane that was. flying that was heading these Iranian. passengers on it and then they claimed. this is what the US claimed that they. were saying, "Identify yourself.

Identify yourself." And there was no. response. They blew up the commercial. airplane, the the the the Iranian. airplane, Iran flight 655. And then they. said, "Well, why didn't the captain. respond?" Because they didn't have the. military signals. You you were beaming. on a military frequency and they were a. commercial flight. They never saw the. missiles that you shot at it coming. So, I just want you to reflect. Did you even. know that went down? Did you even go. Google after this video, Iran flight. 655? It's helpful that we learn our.

history. Then George H.W. Bush said, "I'm never apologizing to them." In like. 1996, the US ended up paying a. settlement for over a hundred million. dollars. That's it. A hundred million. dollars, but didn't take responsibility. for the action. And and and you wonder. why the people there are livid. And then. we did Menab and then we continued to. bomb them and and kill lots of innocent. Iranians as well. Mark Levin, one of Donald Trump's chief. propagandists, one of Netanyahu's chief. propagandists as well,

he showed the video of the funeral. procession for Ayatollah for the. Ayatollah. And Levin said, "Yesterday, the enemy gathered en masse, all in one. place. Opportunity lost." Well, opportunity lost, he said. Well, what. what what would you want to do? You want. to nuclear bomb them? That's that's the. goal? You want to kill millions of. Iranians and kill children and women and. innocent people as well? Then what. happens? Explain to me. Like, what do. these sickos have to do? Then you want.

to have millions of Americans lose their. lives fighting some war for Netanyahu? Fighting some war that nobody want You. want to have millions of American. soldiers die fighting those people in. Iran? You see how many That that's what. you That's the end game that Mark Levin. and all of these people these neocon. these hawks these Netanyahu agents, you. know, in my opinion, this is what you. This is what you want the outcome to be. I think by the way. Danny Citrinowicz, who was an Israeli.

intelligence officer who studied Iran, I think he says it accurate. Let me just. explain to you what he says. The large. turnout at the funeral serves as a. reminder that the assumption that all. Iranians oppose the Islamic Republic has. never reflected the full picture. It is. also consistent with what we saw. throughout the war when large crowds. gathered in cities across Iran to. express support for the Ayatollah for. the state, for the Iranian regime. There. is no doubt that many Iranians oppose. the regime and would like to see.

fundamental political change, true. But. it is equally difficult to ignore that. the Islamic Republic retains a. significant and resilient base of. support that continues to stand by it. even under extreme pressure. One of the. key lessons from the war is that many. assessments in both Israel and the. United States underestimated the regime. in Iran's social and political. resilience. Understanding the size of. Iran's missile arsenal is one thing. Understanding how deeply embedded the.

Islamic Republic remains within. important segments of Iranian society is. another. And it's not just Iranian. society, Iraqi society, Yemen society, Pakistan society, in places where there. are large Shiite populations, the. Ayatollah is their pope. Is their pope. They have massive massive amounts of. support there. Religious support, cultural support. And again, you've got. Ben, why are you defending them? I'm. not. I just we need to have realistic. intelligence assessments about what's.

going on in the world so we're not. rushing into never-ending wars where. Americans are getting killed and we're. having. catastrophe hit our economy like we're. seeing right now. That's why. And I fear. that the escalation trap is still there. and that Trump's going to keep falling. right into it. The gap of information as. Danny Citronex explains, helped produce. a strategy that rested on highly. optimistic assumptions about the. regime's ability and the likelihood of.

its rapid collapse. The fact that some. observers still explain away every. public display of support as simply paid. crowds risks overlooking a more complex. and strategically important reality. That's the reality. You can get upset at. me or not, but that's the reality that's. taking place right now. A few other. things, scriptural diplomacy. So, as. these foreign leaders showed up to pay. their respects to Ayatollah Khomeini,

Iran paired foreign delegations at. Ayatollah Khomeini's funeral with. politically targeted Quranic verses, confronting rivals or now. they're building more of a understanding. with Saudi Arabia, and rallying regional allies like. Hezbollah and Hamas with tailored. scriptural messages. Saudi Arabia. received a verse about two armies. meeting in battle, one believing in. Islam and Quran, one not. Turkey got a.

verse elevating those who fight over. those who sit. The Lebanese government. heard a verse about people refusing to. sacrifice if asked. Hezbollah was told, "Do not weaken or grieve. You are. superior." Hamas received a verse. honoring men who fulfilled their. covenant with God. Some have died, others are waiting. Yemen's Houthis got. a verse praising believers who fought. without weakening. Qatar received a. verse about forgiveness and divine. favor, read as a nod to its mediating.

role. All of that right there was was. compacted into the symbolism that was. taking place at these proceedings. And. again, I want to share with you just so. you have a sense of what was actually. going on and what was taking place here. So, you can see for yourself. I'll just. share with you the heads, you know, how. like the United States like Iran is so. divided. All of their branches of. government hate each other and they.

don't know who their leaders are. Let me. show you the photo. The heads of the. three branches of government and senior. officials attended Tehran's. uh funeral. You can see right here the. judicial, the Islamic Revolutionary. Guard, uh the spiritual level, the. political level, um Araghchi, Ghalibaf, the uh kind of the the uh spiritual. leaders who elect the Ayatollah. Mojtaba. was not there obviously because he felt. that if he left his hiding place, he.

would be killed by uh Netanyahu. You. know, one of the developments we've also. seen take place is a deeper story right. here of the Islamabad Quartet as it's. being described, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, even Saudi Arabia, and Iran, the. Islamabad Quartet. And one of the things. that we saw is when an Iranian civil. aircraft landed in Sana'a in Yemen.

breaking Yemen's 11-year blockade, the. reopening of the Sana'a-Tehran route. does seem to be evidence of the. Islamabad Quartet and Iran strengthening. its relations. I mean, we heard MB. Ghalibaf and also Iran's Deputy Foreign. Minister talk about the importance China. will be playing right now. Basically, moving out the US security umbrella and. replacing it with a China security. umbrella, but that's really led by the.

Islamabad Quartet and the Arab nations. That's why if you look at the memorandum. of understanding, it says that Iran. controls the Strait of Hormuz along with. the Arab nations decide on the future. transit that it is an Arab nation. decision, not a United States. But the. Trump regime will continue to violate. the MOU, try to open up that route in. Oman. And by the way, it's why I also. tell you about Iran Air Flight 655 cuz.

we got to know our history. Yeah, we. [clears throat] were putting tankers in. the Persian Gulf and shooting Iranian. commercial airplanes out in 1988. and then not taking accountability for. it. And so you. wonder the root causes also over. or some of the lingering feelings would. be an understatement of what's going. down there as well. You had MB Galabaf also. putting out statements regarding.

the Trump regime. Imagine having a. 40-something million of your own. citizens regarding the US on food stamps. and calling another nation hungry. This. is not a proclamation. This is. projection. Keep your snap advice. Our. assets, our choices, mind your own. malnutrition rates, United States. Mind. your own malnutrition rates. You see. here the the delegation from China.

arriving, some of their top diplomats. over there, Pakistan. These are the main. mediators, by the way. Also, Pakistan. gave Donald Trump $500. or so for crypto. They created a crypto. fund and that really kind of elevated. their role and their connections with. Donald Trump. But take it, these are the. mediators. A high-level Pakistani. delegation comprising the Prime. Minister, the Chief of Army Staff Munir, the Foreign Minister attended the. farewell ceremony of Ayatollah Khomeini.

Prime Minister of Pakistan also signed. the memorial book in honor of the. Iranian leader right there, vice. chairman of the National People's. Congress of China, Medvedev, Putin's. envoy and delegation arriving right. there. I'll show you more photos over here. Al. Jazeera's footage from the first day of. the farewell ceremony of Khomeini. You. see women here, you see people right. there. I'm just giving you a snapshot. into the reality.

If I know this, our intelligence. community knows this, okay? This is the. reality of the situation. So, we need to. approach it as adults with levels of. intelligence and see what's happening. here and what's going on. And as Trump's. like, "Woah, my god, the crowds are so. big, the crowds are so big. What am I. going to do?" Yeah, they are. They are. And And that is a population that is. been more unified as a result of your. Netanyahu's actions. Not just there, but. the genocide in Gaza, the genocide in.

Lebanon, and and and end the general. imperialistic behavior over decades and. decades and decades. That's that You may. not want to hear that, but that's what. the people feel there. And so, how we. approach this, uh and and when you constantly violate. the memorandum of understanding, and. every time you're in a negotiation, you. then invade, and now under the MOU, you're acting like, "Ah, they still want.

to negotiate with us. They're dying to. make a deal. They're dying" What do you. mean? You made the deal. It's the MOU. There's no more negotiating. Those terms. get implemented in the long form. That's. the deal. Anyway, there you have it. Let me know. what you think. I think illuminating. Hit subscribe. Let's get to 7 million. subscribers.
