=== Strategic Concerns Over Iran (10:18) ===

[00:00:03]  So it's very clear at this point that the White House never considered the second and third order effects of attacking Iran.
[00:00:11]  They're just doing it in a dumb fashion because that's what Netanyahu demanded.
[00:00:16]  And Pete Hegseth has room temperature IQ, obviously.
[00:00:21]  Trump, not too smart, maybe good at real estate, doesn't know much about anything else.
[00:00:28]  And here we are where there's concern being expressed.
[00:00:33]  Susie Wiles and others in the administration are apparently, according to reports, expressing concern that fuel prices might rise or there might be inflation.
[00:00:43]  And what is their answer to that?
[00:00:45]  Well, just keep lying to the American people.
[00:00:47]  Just claim inflation doesn't exist.
[00:00:49]  Just claim that gas doesn't cost more, even though you're already paying more at the pump right now compared to a week ago.
[00:00:57]  And that's just beginning.
[00:00:58]  You know, gas in America could easily hit $10 a gallon later this year if this war continues and the Strait of Hormuz continues to be closed because of the loss of critical energy infrastructure, obviously.
[00:01:15]  And energy outflows have cratered, and that's not good for energy prices.
[00:01:22]  So I don't think there's anyone in the White House or in the entire administration there around Trump who understands that food fertilizer comes from natural gas.
[00:01:36]  I bet you they don't know that.
[00:01:38]  In fact, I'm sure they don't know that.
[00:01:41]  Because if they knew that, then they would know that attacking Iran was going to cause, of course, gas shortages, that is natural gas, which would result in fertilizer shortages, which would result in crop yields being reduced, which would result in food inflation or rising food prices.
[00:02:02]  They didn't think about that.
[00:02:05]  Or they stupidly thought that this whole war would be over in one weekend.
[00:02:10]  And now, have you heard that from inside the central command of the U.S. military, they're now talking about this war will take until September.
[00:02:22]  Right.
[00:02:23]  Until September.
[00:02:24]  So what started out as, oh, it's just going to be one weekend, and then it's going to be a week, and then it's going to be a month.
[00:02:32]  Now it's going to be most of the year.
[00:02:36]  And during that time, the Strait of Hormuz will almost certainly remain closed to Western ships.
[00:02:43]  Now, China is able to get its oil tankers through the strait.
[00:02:48]  It just did, because the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is selective.
[00:02:52]  So Iran says to China and Russia, your ships can sail through no problem.
[00:02:57]  and also Pakistan, but not any Western ships.
[00:03:01]  So the Western ships are blocked, which means that there's no energy for Korea, for Taiwan, for Japan, for all the Western countries, and many others as well.
[00:03:13]  This is going to be catastrophic for the industries of all of these Western allies all over the world.
[00:03:22]  In fact, Force Majeure is already being declared in Korea as their market is totally collapsing, their stock market.
[00:03:30]  Their industry is shutting down.
[00:03:31]  Bad things are already beginning to happen on a pretty rapid pace here.
[00:03:37]  If this Strait of Hormuz remains closed through September, oil is going to hit $200 a barrel, probably, maybe more.
[00:03:47]  I mean, it won't be overnight, but first it'll hit $100 and then, you know, $150 and then it'll hit 200, etc.
[00:03:54]  This is going to enrich Russia with oil revenues, obviously.
[00:03:59]  And Saudi Arabia is still going to be able to sell some of its oil because it has a pipeline that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, you know, because of its geography.
[00:04:10]  It can ship oil.
[00:04:11]  It's got an eastern pipeline along its eastern coastline there, just outside of the Sea of Oman.
[00:04:19]  And it can pipe oil to facilities that can be loaded onto ships that then go through the Red Sea and through the Suez Canal, if that's available.
[00:04:30]  I guess it depends on whether Yemen is going to allow Saudi ships to sail unharassed.
[00:04:37]  And I guess we'll have to wait and see if that happens.
[00:04:40]  But for the other countries there, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, they're screwed.
[00:04:47]  They are screwed apparently through September now.
[00:04:52]  And you think it's going to end in September?
[00:04:55]  Too early to know, obviously.
[00:04:58]  But if it goes to September, it could go to 2027, which means that the global economy, the economic shock is going to be absolutely catastrophic.
[00:05:11]  For Western countries in particular, Russia won't be hurt.
[00:05:15]  China will still get its oil.
[00:05:17]  Iran is, of course, paying a very heavy price domestically with all the destruction of its buildings and the destruction of its small navy, etc.
[00:05:27]  Iran is paying a very heavy price, but Iranian allies are going to come through this just fine, while the Western world will suffer economic crisis.
[00:05:40]  You're already seeing, by the way, as proof of this, the bond yields in Japan and in Korea and in other Western countries, bond yields are already spiking, which means that their debt is considered less trustworthy.
[00:05:56]  It also means that those countries are going to have to pay more money to finance their own debt or to refinance debt.
[00:06:04]  So just as their economies are getting absolutely hammered by the energy shutdown, they're going to have to pay more to investors to buy their debt.
[00:06:15]  And that will also happen with U.S. Treasuries and the United States.
[00:06:19]  So this is a cascading, multi-layered financial crisis among Western countries.
[00:06:27]  That's what this is.
[00:06:30]  And it's only just begun.
[00:06:32]  And on top of that, Russia is now saying that they will do everything in their power to make sure that the U.S. cannot continue to bomb Iran.
[00:06:42]  I'm not sure what that means, but Russia has submarines, to say the least.
[00:06:49]  They have advanced submarines.
[00:06:50]  They have Oreshnik missile systems.
[00:06:53]  They have ICBMs, etc.
[00:06:55]  If Russia wanted to get kinetically involved in this, they could very easily destroy most of the U.S. Navy.
[00:07:03]  They could destroy U.S. cities.
[00:07:07]  They could destroy whatever's remaining of every U.S. base in the Persian Gulf region.
[00:07:13]  It would be over and done.
[00:07:15]  And will Russia do that?
[00:07:17]  Maybe.
[00:07:18]  Maybe if Iran gets desperate enough, if it looks like Iran is about to be toppled, maybe that's when Russia steps in and says, we can't allow this and we're going to have to attack hard.
[00:07:30]  Possibly.
[00:07:31]  I mean, who knows?
[00:07:32]  China could do other things as well.
[00:07:34]  China could just announce an embargo around Taiwan.
[00:07:38]  You know, a naval embargo and an air embargo.
[00:07:41]  No flights, no ships.
[00:07:43]  And then Taiwan would last maybe less than 30 days.
[00:07:49]  Their industry would collapse.
[00:07:50]  They have no energy.
[00:07:53]  They do produce a lot of domestic food, but they don't have enough domestic energy.
[00:07:57]  So if Taiwan is embargoed within a month, they would probably have to surrender to China and agree to rejoin the mainland.
[00:08:05]  And then America loses all the microchip facilities in Taiwan.
[00:08:09]  And at that point, you know, what, then the U.S. economy craters.
[00:08:14]  So China could do that.
[00:08:15]  China could sell off U.S. Treasury debt.
[00:08:17]  They could block exports of many different products, obviously, not just rare earths, but consumer goods, auto parts, you name it, computer parts, telecommunications.
[00:08:28]  So China and Russia have a lot of cards to play here yet.
[00:08:32]  And the U.S. isn't holding the cards.
[00:08:34]  The U.S. is doing a one-time big splash, you know, a big boom.
[00:08:40]  And that's not going to be able to be sustained.
[00:08:45]  The U.S. is actually in a very weak position here.
[00:08:47]  And you can bet that every ally around the world is screaming at the United States right now to say, stop this war, because our own economies are going to collapse due to the energy crisis.
[00:08:59]  You got to stop this war.
[00:09:00]  That's what everybody's screaming at the White House right now.
[00:09:04]  Meanwhile, the U.S. is already starting to run out of tomahawks and they've almost run out of air defense interceptors.
[00:09:10]  Israel's running out.
[00:09:11]  The Gulf states have said they're about to run out within a few more days.
[00:09:15]  So if Iran simply survives for another couple of weeks, then the worst of what the U.S. can do is over by that time.
[00:09:28]  And then it's just a question of continued survival.
[00:09:31]  So I'll keep you posted, of course.
[00:09:34]  You can keep watching my reports at brightvideos.com.
[00:09:37]  And you can see my articles and infographics that are very popular now at naturalnews.com.
[00:09:44]  I'm Mike Adams, and I'm praying for peace.
[00:09:47]  I'm also praying for America.
[00:09:49]  And I'm praying that either Trump will see the light here or, frankly, he needs to be impeached and replaced because he's driving the world and our country to a catastrophe, a military catastrophe, a financial catastrophe, but he's full of hubris, just arrogance and ignorance.
[00:10:10]  He doesn't have much knowledge, but he thinks that we can do anything we want in the world without any repercussions.
[00:10:16]  The White House is run by really stupid people who have no loyalty to America.

=== Praying for Survival (03:45) ===

[00:10:22]  Their loyalty is entirely to Zionist Israel.
[00:10:26]  That's who calls the shots.
[00:10:28]  So we don't even have a president of America anymore.
[00:10:33]  I mean, we have an obedient slave to Netanyahu.
[00:10:38]  So our government has already been occupied and taken over.
[00:10:41]  So democracy is dead.
[00:10:43]  The Constitutional Republic has fallen.
[00:10:47]  And I'm not sure how we get out of all of this, but I guess we're going to find out.
[00:10:53]  So thank you for listening.
[00:10:54]  I'm Mike Adams.
[00:10:56]  Take care.

[00:11:20]  Or we have the nascent iodine here, which is less expensive in terms of the iodine that you get.
[00:11:27]  These are available in case things go nuclear.
[00:11:30]  It's clear that you will not be able to find any of this for sale anywhere.
[00:11:35]  All the inventories will be wiped out like what happened after Fukushima in 2011.
[00:11:40]  So if you want to get your hands on some iodine, this is a chance to get it right now.
[00:11:44]  Healthrangerstore.com slash survival.

[00:12:17]  There's a big variety available.
[00:12:20]  Here are some of the number 10 cans right here.
[00:12:22]  Remember, a lot of people are missing fruit.
[00:12:25]  They don't have enough vitamin C in their storable food.
[00:12:28]  So, you know, getting bananas and pineapples and strawberries, especially again, certified organic, freeze-dried.
[00:12:35]  That is the highest quality with the highest nutrient preservation that you can get in any kind of a storable food format.
[00:12:43]  All of this is available right now and so much more.
[00:12:46]  Just go to healthrangerstore.com/slash survival.

[00:12:58]  They're going to last a very long time with good preservation, a long shelf life, and they will have value no matter what happens in the world.
[00:13:05]  Now, of course, I'm praying for peace.
[00:13:07]  I'm praying for de-escalation.
[00:13:09]  I don't want to see World War III break out, and I certainly don't want it to go nuclear.
[00:13:14]  But we're dealing with insane times and insane leaders and insane situations.
[00:13:19]  Who knows what could happen tomorrow or next week?
[00:13:22]  Disruptions could happen here in the United States.
[00:13:24]  There could be, you know, domestic attacks that disrupt supply chains here in the U.S.
