Trump PANICS and PREPARES GROUND INVASION!!!

Donald Trump is panicking as Iran. refuses to surrender. Trump is flailing. He appears to be preparing US special. forces for a ground invasion of Iran as. Donald Trump's continuous bombing. campaign of Iran is not working and as. Iran has responded very forcefully. attacking US interests in the nearby. Arab nations. If you take a look right. here at the satellite image of the Oman.

port of Duqm. Look at the Duqm port in. Oman. You can see the special forces. mothership belonging to the United. States right here. It's called the Ocean. Trader. In many ways, it's hiding in. plain sight. When we saw Iran strike. Duqm port the other day in Oman, lots of. people were wondering, well, why were. they doing that? Isn't Oman one of the. previous mediators? Why would they be. striking Oman? Well, they seem to be. striking at the area where the US was.

positioning special forces for a. potential invasion of Iran. Also, we've. been covering here on the Midas Touch. Network how the US supercarriers, the. Abraham Lincoln and the George H.W. Bush. have positioned themselves around 250 km. from the coast of Iran. Also, if you. look at where the United States has been. targeting in Iran and the types of. radar, surveillance, and other.

infrastructure that the US has been. targeting, one would think that that could. potentially be trying to prepare the. terrain for a ground invasion if. ultimately Donald Trump decides to go in. that direction and he certainly appears. to be getting more and more desperate. and more and more volatile by of day, which is saying something because he's a. very desperate and volatile person. I.

also want to point out something that I. don't think a lot of people are paying. attention to as well. We're seeing a lot. of top Russian officials flying to Iran. right now. Some of the Russian airplanes. that. would normally be used by their top. envoys are heading to Iran as I think. Russia is further preparing to help Iran. in the event the United States does. launch a ground invasion as we've seen.

Ukraine continuing to strike deep within. Russia with those FP-1, FP-2, and FP-5. drones. One of the things that informs us that. Donald Trump is potentially. preparing a ground invasion in addition. to the areas where he's striking and. it's been these continuous strikes which. again appear to be setting the stage for. a potential ground invasion. You can see.

the desperation. of Donald Trump's other strikes grow. when he's not striking the kind of. coastline, radar, surveillance, other weapons that kind of guard the. coast. The United States almost. had a direct hit of the Bushehr nuclear. power plant. Take a look at this before. and after right here of the Bushehr. nuclear power plant and US bombs came. dangerously close to blowing it up the.

other night. And so you take a look at. the satellite image. If there would have. been a direct hit and I mean we're. talking. just a few kilometers away from being a. direct hit, there would have been a massive. radiological disaster right there. And. just look at the like look how close it. was right there. Also, if you look at. the type of locations the United States. is hitting in addition to the Bushehr. nuclear plant, we also see that the. United States hit Iran's largest.

petrochemical hub in the Mahshahr. Khuzestan province. That's Iran's main. oil region. A water pumping statement in Mahshahr in. southwestern Iran was struck by air. strikes by the US, killing one and. injuring four per the deputy governor. there. And then the US launched those other. strikes around the coast. And this desperation that we're seeing. is also tied up with the strategic.

petroleum reserves. I know I sounded. like a broken record for the past 2. weeks, but this is precisely what I. thought was going to happen as the. strategic petroleum reserves now hit a. level that would be deemed to be the. estimated minimum operating level. Remember when I showed you this chart. that Eric Newtal posted? When did he post this? July 8th? The US strategic petroleum reserve is.

now 19 million barrels away as of July. 8th from the estimated minimum operating. levels. There very soon will no longer. be a safety buffer to protect the world. from further losses out of the strait. because that strategic petroleum reserve. feeds into the entire global. oil market and that's one of the ways. that the Trump regime has tried to bring. down the price of crude. It hasn't. brought down really the price at the. pump because the refinery price is a.

different price than the crude. Remember. I talked about the crack splits? The. other way that the Trump regime is. trying to manipulate the price of crude, it's through these short positions that. I believe Treasury Secretary Scott. Bessent has been organizing with a lot. of the kind of billionaires that he's. been working with. I mean, take a look. at this graph that AFI that HFI Research. posted. They call it Insane Asylum and. they write, "I know I'm not a normal. person, but I know I'm not crazy. What.

we are witnessing in the oil market. today is history in the making. We have. never had Brent short positioning this. high and global crude oil inventories. this low. So, unless there was this. massive market manipulation, why in the. world would there be such a massive. effort to do these shorts when it's so. obvious that the Strait of Hormuz is. effectively closed and war is escalating.

and we've never had a situation where. the strategic reserves have been this. low in history. But, when you see that CENTCOM continues. to post messages and says the Strait of. Hormuz is open, all of these ships are. going out, everything is amazing, and. then you see these short positions, you. see in my mind Treasury Secretary. Bessent, the position of CENTCOM, uh. Brad Cooper, um and Howard Lutnick.

Their fingerprints to me are all over. this now. One of the other aspects that. to me informs that a uh ground invasion. may be imminent as well is right now the. CENTCOM commander is a guy named Brad. Cooper. Brad Cooper's mentor, a former. CENTCOM commander, is a guy named. Retired General Frank McKenzie. Now, he. was on the various uh regime media. programs this morning. Uh he was on Face. the Nation on CBS. He as you know, CBS.

has become regime media as well. And he. was endorsing the invasion. And so, to. me it wasn't just that he was there. randomly saying that. CBS is state. regime media that's used for floating. these types of plans. And this was a. test bubble for the ground invasion. You've got the special forces ready to. go. You've got the two carriers right. there. If you look at where the military.

is striking on the coast that they've. been doing every day, again, they're. taking out the kind of radar systems to. allow for the invasion a la. D-Day. Like that's what they're doing. except unlike D-Day, um right now, uh you know, again, there. was massive casualties on D-Day, but. right now this is going to be sending. our troops and our special forces into a. meat grinder and there's just going to. be mass death if this is what they end.

up doing. But here is the current. CENTCOM's. uh mentor, Frank McKenzie, retired. general Frank former This guy's the. former commander of CENTCOM. Here's what. he had to say. >> I was just looking back at my last. conversation on Face the Nation with. Lindsey Graham, and the senator said, "If this deal fails, President Trump is. going to take the Strait of Hormuz over. by force. The US will control the Strait. of Hormuz." That was 3 weeks ago.

How does the United States end up. controlling the Strait of Hormuz? >> Well, Margaret, we certainly have the. capability to control the Strait of. Hormuz if the president chooses to. follow that course of action. Look, what. he's been trying to do is get to a. diplomatic and a political solution. here, which I applaud and I think we. should all want to see as the final end. state. Nonetheless, the fact of the. matter is the Iranians generally only. respond to military force and to extreme. pressure. Uh look, we're not talking about regime.

change here. What we're talking about is. modifying the the views and actions of. an extreme hard hardline regime. That is. possible. We have the capability to do. that. That capability is resident in US. military should the president elect to. employ it. That would include opening. the Strait of Hormuz, maintaining the. Strait of Hormuz open, and in fact. seizing Kharg Island should we elect to. do that. And I would just say as an. aside, that's something we should think. about doing because possession of. Iranian soil would be a significant.

factor in future negotiations with Iran. So, all those options are on the table. I'm not sure where we're going to go. with this, but I do know we have these. capabilities. >> Now, as Donald Trump uh. as continues to panic, I mean, he's. posting some of the most deranged things. while all of this is taking place. I. mean, let me show you the scenes of the. war. We could just run the B-roll, folks. Here's smoke rising in Manama, Bahrain after Iran's uh strikes. Several. missiles launched from Iran right here.

into various areas. Iran launched a. large-scale surprise attack on Kuwait. earlier uh with three ballistic missiles. directly impacting the US ATACMS. ground-to-ground missiles uh in Kuwait. Uh more strikes by Iran. Take a look. over here. Um uh Iran was able to hit um numerous. other, you know, US military sites in. the region as well. Iran's IRGC. announced full destruction of fuel tanks.

and Patriot air defense systems at the. US Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait and. an FPS strategic radar system at the. Ahmad Al Jaber Air Base in Kuwait in the. third phase of its response last night. Iran's IRGC announced the destruction of. helicopter maintenance and repair. centers at a P-8 electronic warfare. aircraft hangar and the command and. control center of the US military drone. fleet at the US Sheikh Isa Air Base in. Bahrain. Uh I'll I'll play this one for.

you. Iranian armed forces launching. their kamikaze drones at US bases in the. region. Let's play this one right here. >> [snorts]. >> And then you've seen previously some of. the photos of the fifth fleet in Bahrain. what that looks like after Iran was able. to strike there. But here's what Donald.

Trump is posting while all of this is. going down. He's posting this photo of. Lindsey Graham. It's a photo of Lindsey. Graham who as you know died 48 hours ago. or so. Lindsey Graham is wearing a hat. in this photo that says. "Make Iran great again." and he's. holding Donald Trump's Wikipedia page. with a hat that says "Make Iran great. again.". Donald Trump is posting that he has a. 59% approval rating. His approval.

ratings in the 30s right now. And then. Trump says prices are coming down along. with lowering of oil and gas. By the. way, even with all those short positions. that I talked about and even with the. manipulation from the strategic reserve. and our strategic reserve has now hit. functional tank bottom. We're at the. emergency level. The prices are going up right now for. crude. Up 5%, 7% over last night and. they continue to go up. As you know, gas. prices, the price that you pay at the. pump is going up. Donald Trump posting.

these weird images of fighter jets and. of the Qatari Air Force One surrounded. by fighter jets as he fears that Iran is. going to uh kill him. And then, you. know, while he's posting that I mean, you have these images of war. Um. the massive plume of smoke rising from. Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz. following the US air strike there. That. may be one of the areas that the US is. looking to invade. Large explosion.

reported after US air strike in Sirik. the other night. And so, you know, we'll. keep you posted every step of the way, of course. But that's where we're at. right now.
