Myron Gaines exposes contradictions in the US-Iran ceasefire narrative, debunking claims of an overwhelming victory where Iran allegedly lost 90% of its fleet and 80% of nuclear facilities. He argues that despite reports of sunk F-15s and destroyed factories, Iran retains operational speedboats, Bavar missiles, and active defense industries, while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. Gaines contends that US panic over potential Iranian control of the strait drives bad faith negotiations, warning that failing to resolve these discrepancies could trigger World War III rather than securing a strategic oil asset win.

Ceasefire Falls Apart00:05:27
Single time
We are live.
What's up, guys?
Welcome to the stream.
Welcome to the stream.
Um, we are going to be covering some of uh some new developments, so we'll get right into it, man.
Uh, Pete Hegseth and Kane had a press conference this morning at the Pentagon.
As you guys know, the ceasefire is kind of already falling apart here, which is kind of crazy to be honest.
Um, but you know, I kind of predicted this, I knew that the Israelis would kind of get in and try to fuck things up.
Destroyed Missile Program00:10:27
There's been some serious confusion on Lebanon, uh, being involved in it.
The Israelis say that it's not in it, but the Iranians say it is in it, so there's some discrepancies.
But let's go ahead and watch, uh, This stuff with our guy, Pete Hegseth.
Iran has been a threat to the United States and the free world for 47 years.
Already lying.
Chance of death to America, targeting our people, killing Americans, lying, and blackmailing their way toward a new.
Dude, that death to America quote is fucking retarded, man.
When they say death to America and Israel, they're talking about the government.
Like, bro, like this has been clarified a million times.
You know?
It's so stupid.
Clear weapon, so they thought.
No longer.
Not on our watch.
Other presidents marked time and kicked the can down the road.
President Trump made history.
From the strike that took out Qasem Soleimani to tearing up the disastrous Obama Iran deal to the.
Yeah, all of that led us to this war, bro.
All that shit led us to this war.
Killing Qasem Soleimani, you know, going hard on Iran, putting sanctions, making the IRGC a terrorist organization.
That didn't help anything at all.
The precision campaign that obliterated Iran's nuclear sites in Operation Midnight Hammer to the decisive military victory we just achieved in Operation Epic Fury.
No other president has shown the courage and resolve of this commander in chief.
President Trump forged this moment.
Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it.
All right, that's a fucking lie.
So here's what happened.
When the war first started out, the Italians tried to get a hold of Iran to get a ceasefire going, and they said no.
And they had no incentive.
Like, you just got to do the math, guys.
What incentive do they have to end the war without guarantees that the war is going to happen again?
You know what I mean?
Like, these guys killed the supreme leader.
They went hard at them, they hit them with everything they got.
Like, there's, and they're controlling the Strait of Humus.
So they have absolutely no incentive, really, to number one, negotiate with the United States, number two, trust the United States, and then number three, just be involved in it in general.
Like, why?
Why?
There's no benefit.
For them to have a ceasefire.
So it was the U.S. that was trying to get an off ramp earlier on via Italy, and that failed.
Then the Pakistanis kind of acted as an intermediary.
But let's be clear about this there wasn't really a negotiation.
It was more about these are our demands, and then the U.S. was like these are our demands.
There wasn't really much talking, and neither side is really that flexible.
So, as a president, truth this morning a big day for world peace.
Iran wants it to happen.
They've had enough.
Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield.
A capital V military victory.
By any measure, Epic Fury decimated Iran's military and rendered it combat ineffective for years to come.
More lies.
The ballistic missiles are still firing, even at the ceasefire missiles were hitting Israel.
They're not combat ineffective because if they were combat ineffective, we wouldn't be trying to get a ceasefire right now.
Is their Navy gone?
Yes.
Is their Army gone?
Yes.
Right?
They're not, excuse me, not their army.
Their Navy and Air Force, excuse me.
Their Navy and Air Force have been destroyed, yes.
But to sit there and be like, oh, they've lost all their capabilities, that's not true.
I mean, bro, they literally just shot down an F 15.
Like, what?
They shot down an F 15.
They shot down an F 35.
I mean, if you're shooting down F 35s, bro, you're pretty fucking capable, man.
Okay?
So.
Shout out to Dixon Myers with the two gifted.
Appreciate you, my friend.
You see, in less than 40 days, one of our combatant commands, Central Command, CENTCOM, using less than 10% of America's total combat power, dismantled one of the world's largest militaries.
The world's leading state sponsor of terrorism proved utterly incapable of defending itself.
The world's leader of sponsoring terrorism is Israel.
If we want to count which military has killed more people, the IDF has killed more people than Hezbollah, Hamas, the IRGC, probably combined.
The IDF has absolutely killed more people and enacted more acts of terrorism than all of these fucking radical Muslims combined.
It's people or it's territory.
Like, bro, Gaza alone, bro, they killed, according to the Hamas ministry, at 70,000.
It's probably going to be closer to 100,000 to 600,000.
We untied just a fraction of our strength and Iran suffered a devastating military.
And guys, sorry if I'm like a little slow today, guys.
I didn't sleep at all last night, by the way.
I did not sleep at all.
Been up for like well over 24 hours now, so I'm pretty fucking cooked.
Still got after hours after this.
So if I'm not like, you know, on it, on it, I apologize deeply.
Defeat.
Together with our Israeli partners, America's military achieved every single objective on plan, on schedule, exactly as laid out from day one.
Iran's Navy is at the bottom of the sea.
Whether it's the Soleimani class, their frigate class, their prized.
Bro, nobody cares about Iran's Navy, dude.
It's kind of funny because they destroyed the Navy, but the Strait of Hormuz is still closed.
Iran no longer has an air defense, any sort of a comprehensive air defense system.
Yeah, no, I know, I know, guys.
I know.
You guys say I should sleep and shit.
Yeah, I just had, I was dealing with so much bullshit, bro.
Like my real estate property and some other shit.
So that's kind of what I was dealing with all day.
So I just couldn't fucking, I couldn't just sleep.
So, Ralph, appreciate you for the gifted sub, my friend, or the five gifted.
You're the man.
Joey Abdul, thank you as well.
We own their skies.
Their missile program is functionally destroyed.
Bro, I can't believe this guy fucking just lies so much.
Outside Logic, OTB, Alberto, Curtis Leon, Curtis Leon, okay.
MAGA Make Americans, Goyam again.
Finally catching another live question.
Is this war making bricks stronger than a Petro, or is there still time?
There's still time.
There's still time.
But yeah, I mean, the petrodollar is definitely going to be, you know, there's new alliances.
This war has changed the whole landscape of the Middle East.
You know, we've effectively proven to our Gulf partners that we can't really protect them.
Hey, bro, when are you going to ASU?
May 1st.
Launchers, production facilities, and existing stockpiles depleted.
Young Dolph, thank you.
And decimated.
And evil Johan.
And almost completely ineffective.
Iran shot hundreds and hundreds of missiles and attacked.
One way attack drones at our aircraft carrier.
They were obsessed with it.
And they never got even close.
Every single one of those shots easily shot down miles and miles away from the Abe Lincoln.
They were blowing ammo into fantasy land.
Contrast that with, most significantly, in last night's wave of more than 800 strikes, we finished completely destroying Iran's defense industrial base, a core pillar of our mission objective.
What little they have left buried in bunkers is all they will have.
They can still shoot, we know that.
Their command and control is so decimated, they can't really talk and coordinate.
So they still may shoot here and there, but that would be very, very unwise.
But they can no longer build missiles, build rockets, build launchers, or build UAVs.
Their factories have been razed to the ground, set back in historic fashion.
You see, had Iran refused our terms, the next targets would have been their power plants, their bridges, and oil and energy infrastructure.
Yeah, and that would have been the end of the world, bro.
Like, if you idiots had really done that and attacked.
Power plants and desalination plants.
Say goodbye to the Middle East, bro.
Okay.
Like, if you guys actually did that retarded shit, that would have been the end of the fucking Middle East.
It would have created a global catastrophe.
We would have a humanitarian crisis because 90% of the water, right, from the Gulf comes from desalination plants and Iran would strike those and destroy them.
We're talking about 50 to 60, somewhere between 50 to 66 million people.
Without fresh water.
Now, crazy that is, dude.
As if, like, it wasn't bad enough that, you know, we have our bases there and they're getting attacked for our bases.
They could not defend and could not realistically rebuild.
It would have taken them decades, and we were locked and loaded.
They couldn't defend against it.
President Trump had the power to cripple Iran's entire economy in minutes, but he chose mercy.
He spared those targets because Iran accepted the ceasefire under overwhelming pressure.
No, you gave your 15 point plan, then they gave you their 10 point plan, and then you said, okay, this is a framework we can work with.
The new Iranian regime understood that a deal was far better than the fate that awaited them.
This new regime just happened to look at what happened to their predecessors.
Their top leadership was systematically eliminated.
The previous Iranian Supreme Leader, dead.
The Supreme National Security Council Secretary.
Vance's Ten Point Plan00:15:24
All right, guys, I'm bringing my brother in right now.
Give me one sec.
He came at the right time.
Peace and it's all great.
And I mean, when is he not boastful and just dramatic?
But JD Vance probably understands the reality of the situation and the gravity a lot better.
And there's a desperation from JD Vance to kind of diffuse this, be responsible for diffusing this and brush it under the rug because he wants to be the one who invoked peace.
He wants to be the guy who brokered the deal.
He wants to be the guy who had negotiations with the foreign minister.
So, yo.
Yo, what up, man?
I was watching a Pete Hegseth thing.
Yeah, we could jump straight into it.
Yeah, I got it.
Let me.
What the hell?
Okay, let me turn this on and then I know what I'm going to do.
Hold on.
I got to move some of this shit up.
Okay.
Can you see my screen or no?
Oh, no, you can't.
Hold on, I got to share it.
Hold on.
Barry.
So he's already telling the lies about they had to capitulate and accept the deal.
I just told my stream, I'm like, we're going to just watch Pete Hegseth and Caroline Levitt lie for a couple hours.
So it'll be fun.
Go ahead.
Bro, you know what's funny?
Lebanon was getting bombed as Caroline Levitt was doing her press conference this morning.
This morning?
Yeah.
Yeah, this morning.
Literally, as she was doing her press conference, they were getting bombed.
Israel was bombing the hell out of Lebanon.
They had one of the biggest strikes, guys.
Well, ironically, today was one of the biggest attacks from Israel to southern Lebanon.
And of course, it's right after the peace deal was brokered.
So now the only ask the United States is requesting the Strait of Hormuz to be open is being jeopardized.
And JD Vance called the deal fragile.
We're seeing that.
So we'll see what happens.
But yeah, they're going to get some tough questions because as they're trying to push one narrative, reality is manifesting in the other direction, showing that what they're saying is just not true.
Yeah.
You know, like we've got control of this, we'll have the peace deal at the same time.
Lebanon is being destroyed to bits.
Hundreds of people are being killed.
More people are being displaced to the already millions that are displaced right now, or one million plus people are being killed.
More people are being killed already.
Millions that are displaced.
Is that me?
Yeah, sorry.
That's your computer.
I think already.
Millions that are just not.
I think that's you.
Sorry.
Supreme Leader Office Advisor.
No, I think that's you.
It's me.
I'm not giving one sec chat.
Supreme Leader Office Advisor.
No, I think that's you.
It's me.
I'm not giving one sec chat.
Dead.
Supreme Leader Office Advisor.
Hold on, chat.
Give me one sec.
Okay, sorry, I got it.
My bad, my bad.
All right, we're good now.
There we go.
Okay, my bad.
Let's get back to it.
The Supreme Leader Military Office Chief, dead.
The Defense Minister, no longer with us.
The IRGC Commander, dead.
The Armed Forces General Staff Commander, dead.
The Intelligence Minister, dead.
The IRGC Navy Commander.
No longer here.
The IRGC Intel Chief.
I skipped over a bunch and I could go on and on and on to include the new so called new supreme leader, wounded and disfigured.
This new regime was out of options and out of time.
So they cut a deal.
They know this agreement means that they will never, ever possess a nuclear weapon.
See, that's already contradicting because in their 10 point plan, they would enrich uranium.
So there's already contradictions all over the place here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In terms of what happens when you lie, it's just going to crumble right in front of you.
You know what we should do?
Riyadh, while I'm playing this, can you pull up the 10 point plan and then the 15 point plan?
Let's put them side by side.
So, we can really like get the audience aware on this.
Any nuclear material?
However, I don't know if you saw really quickly.
JD Vance today was saying that there's different 10 point plans, and some of them are fake, some of them are real, but I believe I have the real one here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, dude, it's such fucking cope, man.
Like, and the latest news I heard is both the Israelis were bombing the hell out of Lebanon.
Last numbers I checked were 250 dead, 1,200 injured.
There's probably going to be hundreds more dead because of the rubble.
But they launched a huge attack against Lebanon.
And Lebanon seems to be the sticking point, chat.
Iran said they're not going to do a ceasefire unless Lebanon is brought into the deal.
The Israelis are saying Lebanon's not a part of the deal.
I think even JD Vance said Lebanon's not a part of it, right?
So I think that's why he tried to conflate the fact that there are several different 10 point plans because he wants to be able to lean on the idea that Lebanon was never included because they can't stop Israel from striking them.
So originally, Lebanon was absolutely a part of the 10 point plan.
You know how we know that?
Because Abbas Arachi, the foreign minister of affairs, had said in a statement today and several statements previously that Lebanon must be conceded upon for us to open up the Strait of Hormuz and for war to not continue.
So not only has it been in the 10 point plan, the one that he's about to reject right now in this video you're playing, but the foreign minister of affairs confirmed that's actually one of the biggest asks they have in this war right now.
Oh, yeah.
And Trump posted on True Social, too.
He absolutely did.
So this whole administration is running all over each other.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah.
Like, just so you guys know, You know what, man?
You guys already know.
I always show you guys the fucking.
If we go to True Social, right?
Look at this shit.
And I did this yesterday side by side.
So we're going to go and look at Trump's original post on peace, right?
Look at this.
Syed Abbas Aragachi.
This is the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
So Trump posted the official statement of Iran.
Now, let me take you guys to this guy's Twitter account.
So if we go here, Aragachi, here's his Twitter.
Look at this.
Boom.
Same on behalf of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Like, Trump used their shit.
So you could presume if he's posting this on his true social and this is their statement, then, you know, I'm assuming the 10.
And also, the other thing, too, is like the 10 point plan is Iran's.
The 15 point plan is the U.S.'s.
And we can kind of do you have them both up?
You want to compare and contrast them?
Yes, I have them both.
So here we can go through all of them.
I'll take the screen.
Go ahead.
So this is.
Obviously the true social post just so you guys know I got it right up here.
Should be able to see that.
So, again, this is Truth Social, and this is Donald Trump quoting them a day ago saying the official statement of Iran.
This is what you just showed on X.
So, Trump himself endorsed Arakshi's post.
However, the 10 point plan is comprised of these things.
This is the most consistent one I've seen across the board.
You can read all of these, but of course, permanent end to the war, end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
Okay?
Pretty clear.
Consistent ask that I'm seeing across all of them.
There is some nuance between what the stipulations are in regards to the Strait of Hormuz from the different ones that I've seen, but the most consistent ask is the end to strikes in Lebanon.
And we can confirm that because Arachi said in a statement today that that has to end for the ceasefire to be honored.
The 15 point plan is as follows.
This was posted by our guy Suleiman.
Now, this is the U.S. I think.
Let me make this the U.S. 15 point plan.
Go ahead.
I got a big on my screen.
This was by our friend Suleiman.
Yeah, about a few days ago.
And also, there has been.
Some debate as to what the true 15 point plan was.
Two weeks ago, Caroline Levitt, White House press secretary, had told the media that not all of the details for the 15 point plan are quote unquote clear, but at this point, it's become more than clear what the United States is requesting because the ceasefire has fully taken effect, at least to some degree.
Hopefully, it'll actually be a long period of time and not short lived.
But I'll read through these.
So, number one is removal of all sanctions on Iran.
That's their number one thing they care about.
Yeah.
Removal of all sanctions on Iran.
U.S. assistance in advancing and developing a civilian nuclear project.
Removal of the threat of sanctions being reimposed.
Iran's nuclear program is frozen under a defined framework.
Enriched uranium to remain but under supervision and agreed limits.
Missile program to be addressed at a later stage with limits on quantity and range.
That's probably never going to be met, especially the range part.
Use of nuclear programs restricted to civilian slash defensive purposes only.
8.
Development of existing nuclear capabilities halted.
9. No further expansion of enrichment capabilities.
10. No production of weapons grade nuclear material on Iranian soil.
11. All enriched material to be handed over to the IAEA with an agreed timeline.
12.
Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordow to be taken out of use, destroyed.
Those are the nuclear sites.
13. International monitoring and verification mechanisms enforced.
14. Gradual implementation tied to compliance.
15. Additional regional and security understandings between the parties.
Now, it's important to note Donald Trump on Truth Social, and I might actually just be able to pull it up here.
He had said that the United States is going to work from the framework of this 10 point plan.
Okay.
And I'll read the 10 point plan because I didn't read through it and I'm sure some people are listening.
So, Iran had a 10 point peace plan that was in response to the existing US 15 point peace plan.
This is what Iran is asking.
They countered with this one.
Exactly.
Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again.
Permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire.
Three, end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
Four, lifting of all US sanctions on Iran.
Five, end to all regional fighting against Iranian allies.
Six, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Seven, Iran would impose a $2 million fee per ship transiting Hormuz.
Eight, Iran would split these fees with Oman.
If you don't know, Oman is on the other side of the 21 mile passageway, and so they also control the Strait of Hormuz.
At least they were before they started.
Nine, Iran would establish rules for safe passage through the Hormuz.
And then finally, 10, Iran would use Hormuz fees for reconstruction instead of reparations.
And Donald Trump had said on Truth Social, That we are going to work from the framework of the 10 point plan in response to our 15 point plan and hopefully come to a deal on Friday.
Where's that true social post?
Do you have it?
Where he says they're going to work off the 10 point?
Can you pull it up?
That's huge.
Because, bro, they're stepping over each other, man, over this shit.
Here's JD Vance talking about Lebanon.
Oh, okay.
I have it here.
I can show it really quick.
Yep.
So if you're watching, just look where I'm highlighting, but I'll go ahead and read it for the listeners.
Boom.
There you go.
Obviously, yesterday he had the whole big.
Announcement that there's going to be peace.
But in here, he says, We received a 10 point proposal from Iran and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate.
Yep.
Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the agreement to be finalized and consummated.
So there you go.
Yep.
There's all the facts for you straight in your face.
And then here, now look at this shit with JD Vance.
Okay.
There's a lot of bad faith negotiation and a lot of bad faith propaganda going on.
I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding.
I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn't.
We never made that promise.
We never indicated that was going to be the case.
What we said is.
And their 10 point plan is there, though.
Like, what?
What is he talking about?
Yeah.
Ceasefire was focused on her.
He better believe that if he's going to be a part of those peace talks on Friday, which now I'm seeing he won't, but if he wanted to be a part of those peace talks on Friday.
Did they already pull him off the fucking envoy?
I saw some sources floating around or some claims from some valid sources that he might not be a part of the envoy anymore.
And I think one of them seemed to be from Trump himself.
However, I got to confirm that right now.
But if he wants to be a part of those talks, then he better acknowledge that.
Go ahead.
No, I was going to say, Argachi doesn't want to talk to Kushner and Wyckoff anymore.
He said, if we're going to negotiate, we need JD Vance here.
We need someone that's, you know, basically, for lack of a better term, knows what they're doing.
Yeah.
And JD Vance wants the piece, right?
Because he wants to look good in 28.
Yeah.
But.
I don't know.
I'm not crazy.
Somebody in chat can confirm.
I've seen a couple reports today that he won't be a part of the talks anymore on Friday, and it's just going to be the plain old, same old Middle Eastern envoy.
However, I could be wrong, you know, but I'm sure JD Vance probably wants peace to happen more than anybody, and he wants to be able to be the one who effectuated peace so he can use it and weaponize it as a bragging right in 2028 on the debate stage and so on.
So no doubt about that.
Well, go ahead.
Sorry.
And the ceasefire would be focused on America's allies, both Israel and the Gulf Arab states.
Now, That said, the Israelis, as I understand it, again, I'm supposed to get a fuller report when I get on the plane, have actually offered to be, frankly, to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful.
That's not because that is part of the ceasefire.
I think that's the Israelis trying to set us up for success, and we'll, of course, see how that unfolds in the next few days.
But look, if Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered, Over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never won.
No, they have a lot to do with them.
Like, they have a lot to do with them.
They're, yeah.
Go ahead.
Complete lies.
Just, no, he's just flat out lying.
He's just flat out lying, you know?
And I have the source here, so I'll go ahead and pull that up after you finish this video.
Said was part of the ceasefire.
That's ultimately their choice.
We think that would be dumb, but that's their choice.
Well, they already said we're not a grant to a ceasefire unless, because, bro, right now, guys, I don't know.
No, it's not really getting hit on the news.
There's like 2 million Lebanese people, civilians, that are like displaced from their homes right now.
It's like a catastrophe.
And then they bombed the hell out of Beirut earlier today, which is also really bad.
Yep.
So it's absolutely.
Absolutely.
And so this is here on X, but it says Trump expects, and this is from allegedly the New York Post.
This is by Disclosed TV.
It says Trump expects peace talks with Iran to happen in Pakistan, quote, very soon, end quote, but that Vance may not attend due to security concerns.
So we'll have Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and then he says, maybe JD, I don't know.
There's a question of safety and security.
And it's floating around.
Obviously, there's different ideas.
We're like in the fog of war and in the fog of just media confliction, to be honest with you, but that's something to entertain.
And if Vance doesn't show up, To those talks on Friday.
That'll be very telling as to what the relationship is like between Donald Trump and JD Vance.
Maybe Donald Trump doesn't want to help JD Vance look good for 28.
Maybe Marco Rubio is going to be the cash cow.
So just very interesting things to see here.
Little things that you pay attention to to give you a better scope for the next couple of years.
Go ahead.
Absolutely.
Rojo Cortez, love your sacrifice to get the truth out, my guy.
Dad had no idea about U.S. putting Starlink in Iran, nor about Iranians congregating at power plants.
Classified Colonel Mission00:07:51
Yeah, bro.
I'm telling you, man, we got you guys.
I might debate Crowder on this topic.
We'll see what happens.
Apparently, he challenged me to a debate.
So we'll see.
We can definitely do it.
And I need to debate Dinesh Souza as well.
So, you know, we're going to have some good discussions.
Marna Filzer, thank you for the five gifted.
And we, the people 101 and Evo Johan, thank you guys.
Removed.
Any material, excuse me, they should not have will be removed.
Right now, their dust is deeply buried and watched 24 7 overhead.
The president has been clear from the beginning there will be no Iranian nuclear weapons.
Period.
Full stop.
Other presidents said it.
President Trump.
Did it.
Operation Epic Fury.
See, I love how they say, oh, Iran can't have a nuclear weapon, but then they'll be like, oh, you also can't enrich.
People need to understand that there's a difference, a big difference between enriching uranium and getting a nuclear bomb.
Like, one is for civilian energy, the other one is to kill people, right?
And it's not easy to run all these centrifuges to get uranium at, you know, 90% highly enriched, you know, which is weapons grade.
Less than six weeks, clear mission, decisive action, overwhelming firepower, America first, a historic.
This is not America first whatsoever, bro.
Oh my God, there's no way he said that.
Yeah, he really said America first.
Like, bro, it's.
This is going to be a raw reaction because I did not get to watch this this morning.
I didn't watch it either, but I saw that they were live.
Battlefield victory.
For decades, Iran killed Americans with roadside bombs in Iraq, using cowardly proxies to do their dirty work while they hid safely in Tehran.
They struck our embassies with car bombs and attacked from the shadows, never daring to face us toe to toe.
They thought they could bleed America with impunity.
Well, they just learned the hard way.
What happens when you try to fight us directly?
And even when they got lucky, one time in 40 days, and downed two of our pilots, they couldn't hold them.
In a daring 14 hour rescue operation, seven hours in daylight and seven hours of night, both pilots were recovered.
Yeah, what he's not telling you guys is that there was a CIA block operation going on, and that F 15 fighter jet getting shot down was literally the worst thing that could happen.
It completely blew.
Their cover, and if you guys got questions, I made a whole video on this, okay, so I don't have to rehash it again.
If you go to my channel real quick, right, you type in Myron Gaines, whatever, and then you come in here, click videos.
There we go.
Why Trump risked losing for one F 15 colonel.
Oh my God.
I got to get with Brett.
That title is terrible.
But you guys get the idea.
This video right here, I explained it in detail.
I go over what a weapon system officer is.
I go over special forces, all the different types of operators.
So, yeah, I'll drop this link for you guys so you guys can check it out.
But, yeah, long story short, dude, there was a black operation going on between the intel agencies and.
And basically, they got foiled because the F 15 got shot down, so they had to burn their cover.
How do we know this?
Because there was a ridiculous amount of unorthodox aircraft that aren't used for rescue missions.
That's how we know.
Safely, not once, but also, a weapon system officer being a colonel is highly suspect, highly, highly suspect.
Twice that's one of the many red flags, exactly.
Thunder run right up the middle of their country, boots on the ground, a midnight raid right up the middle.
And this raid that they were doing, by the way, guys, the reason why they're setting up all these uh, you know, special operations over there is because they were planning to assault Isfahan because they had information that there was highly enriched uranium there.
I don't know how many hundreds of kilos, but apparently, there was some there, and that is why, um.
Special forces had created kind of like a Ford operating base, and they were kind of slowly getting all their resources together.
And I honestly think that operation is what Trump was waiting on.
That's why he was trying to use the MEUs and the Marines, all this other crap, to like kind of create a diversion while they assault the nuclear facility.
But obviously, the F-15 got shot down, so they had to completely pivot.
Another clue here is that if you guys notice, they brought Ratcliffe on to do a lot of the briefing.
Why the hell is the CIA running a military operation?
Anytime you see the CIA running a military operation like that, it's pretty much going to be black ops, right?
So those guys were there, you know, trying to basically steal uranium, is what it is.
And then they even found like a military idea of a woman who's, I think she was like a nuclear engineer or like a nuclear specialist or whatever.
Allegedly a nuclear scientist, yeah.
Yeah.
So obviously, you know, when you get the highly enriched uranium, you have to dispose of it in a certain way.
You have to carry it in a certain way.
You got to transport it in a certain way.
That's why they had two MC 130s there, which are huge.
Planes that is basically the brother of the C 130, but the MC 130 stands for M for modified.
That is a more classified and better version of the typical C 130.
But yeah, they're not admitting any of this.
They're saying, oh yeah, because they basically have reframed this failure as a big W for getting the weapon system officer.
But now it makes sense why they were so desperate to get them.
Because I was like, damn, this is a kind of overkill.
But now we know why.
As well as the fact, exactly.
Now that you just said it, how many people we sent in, how many different aircraft we sent in, how many diversion tactics we exercised in order.
To receive or retract.
That's the big extract that pilot.
That's the way he ran it.
Yeah.
And people may say, oh, well, that's the American way.
No man behind.
Yeah, that's true.
I concede to that.
But, you know, Donald Trump was kind of going into some of the details about how his head was moving on the mountain.
And he mentioned that, you know, there were a lot of people.
Can I tell them how many people were there?
How many people we sent out to save him?
And right away, he looked back either to Joint Chief of Staff raising Cain or John Ratcliffe, and they told him, Yeah, don't say that.
And he said, Oh, I guess I can't say that.
You may remember that moment from Monday in the press conference.
So it's obvious that there's some vagueness for a reason.
And they don't want to fully display their desperation because it's kind of an out.
If they had caught that colonel, that would have been really bad, not only from an optic standpoint and symbolically, but who knows what kind of information the Iranians could have potentially extracted and what they could have found out in regards to what operation was being planned.
Fun fact, by the way, guys, they were using this technology called like Murmur.
And what it basically does is it tracks people's heartbeat.
Something that was like ultra classified that they utilized.
That's another reason why I think this colonel.
Okay, here's what it is.
You have SEAL Team 6, Delta Force, Army Rangers holding the perimeter.
You got these guys, Search and Rescue Team for the, I think it's the SST or whatever in the Air Force, also tier one operators.
Like all these guys are there staging, right?
The F 15 was a part of that group, right?
They get shot down.
That explains why there's a colonel there because obviously this is going to be an extremely classified mission.
They're going to pick the best and the brightest.
So it would make sense.
That a colonel would be the weapon system officer, and then more than likely the pilot was probably high ranking as well.
Because whenever you do these operations, guys, it's all about selecting the best of the best.
Delta Force pulls from the best people.
Obviously, we know SEAL Tim Six are tier one, and the Army Rangers kill a lot of people.
So they had all these guys kind of situated there.
And the reason why the CIA was able to track this colonel is more than likely they had some type of a sensor on him.
So they were able to track his heartbeat.
So how the hell did they have a beacon on him, too, and then the heartbeat tracker?
Yes.
That's what's suspect.
So the beacon is like standard.
But the heartbeat shit, that's a CIA asset.
And the only way that a colonel would get that, that's a weapon system officer, is he had to be attached to an elite unit, which is probably these guys.
That's the only explanation I could think of.
Real Defense Capabilities00:15:19
So.
of their country.
But Hexad obviously is not going to tell any of you that.
Boots on the ground.
Zero American casualties.
I also think this is another reason, too, why Trump agreed to the ceasefire.
He was probably banking on that operation, bro.
Well, this operation blew up in their face, and this is our last resort because nothing else has been working.
Nothing else has been working.
The IRGC has mosaic defense.
We've destroyed tons of infrastructure, but to no avail.
The only other options left were full blown ground invasion or destroying their power plants.
And those were two risks that it seems like Donald Trump was not willing to risk.
This seemed like the only option they could exercise that was kind of under wracks that the CIA was obviously helping with for the reason of keeping it secret.
That's the whole premise of the CIA, right?
So once that blew up in their face, They probably had to go back to the drawing board.
Yeah, like, like, there's probably, there was probably less than 100.
I was saying this yesterday.
There was probably like that, that black operation that they were doing, there's probably less than 100 people in the government that even knew what was going on.
Guaranteed.
Yeah.
Guaranteed.
So.
The Iranians humiliated and demoralized.
We control their fate, not the other way around.
That's why they came to the table.
Iran's defeat is America's retribution for.
It didn't even come to the table.
This is what happened.
The United States said Donald Trump went on Truth Social and he said, Look, we made a deal.
At that point, it wasn't even clear if Iran had spoken with him because he said, if they make a deal and open the Hormuz, then we have peace.
About an hour later, maybe 45 minutes after that Truth Social post, then we were seeing verified reports that the IRGC had agreed to the deal, so long as the 10 point plan was the basis of negotiations moving forward, which is what we're going to see on Friday.
But to say that they came to the table, they have not come to the table yet.
They're waiting until Friday.
And it's 100% their prerogative and their move to continue or start the war back up because all they have to do is just block the Strait of Hormuz again.
What Pete Hegseth is not telling you is they've effectively, for lack of a better term, a good analogy, they've grabbed the United States by the balls.
You know, they have us by the balls.
And the only way for us to gain some sort of leverage is to guarantee we can take control of that Strait.
Donald Trump is panicking.
Oil markets are skyrocketing because they can just continuously blockade ships.
So, again, Pete Hegseth is just trying really hard to make it seem like we're the ones in control and we're the ones who won and we made Iran concede.
No, we conceded because we started this war and then we were the ones who said, all right, we'll take a break.
We'll keep going.
Also, I got this retard.
Cole Espo says, Myron betrayed Rumble.
Okay, well, you betrayed the Shadow Realm.
Time to send you to the Shadow Realm.
The future is mine.
Enjoy the Shadow Realm, bro.
And lost to Iranian terror.
Especially those brave troops killed by Iranian made roadside bombs in Iraq that my generation knows so well, and for the suffering their regime has inflicted around the world.
Now we have a chance at real peace and a real deal.
The War Department, for now, has done its part.
We stand ready in the background to ensure Iran upholds every reasonable term.
And as everyone knows, nobody makes a better deal than President Trump.
To the warriors of Epic Fury, I say well done.
You're the backbone of our country, your skill, your bravery, and sheer guts and grit.
Showed the world what America is all about.
I'm proud of you.
We're proud of you.
President's proud of you.
Job well done.
But stay vigilant and stay ready.
To the families of our fallen, your sacrifice was in service of a historic cause, and we will always remember your heroes, our heroes, Israel's heroes.
We will continue to honor them.
Fucking crazy.
And to our Israeli allies, thank you for being a brave, capable, and willing ally on this battlefield.
The rest of the world and the rest of our so called allies saw what real capabilities look like.
Yeah, they can't wait to take shots at NATO, huh?
They should take some notes.
Our troops, our American warriors, deserve the credit for this day.
But God deserves all the glory.
Tens of thousands of sorties, refuelings, and strikes carried out under the protection of divine providence.
A massive effort with miraculous protection.
Dude 44 Bravo spoke for all of us.
That was the F.
I know you guys are like, what the fuck is Dude 44?
That's the, yeah, that's the call sign of the F 15.
God is good.
The chairman will now provide an even deeper military detail on the historic success of Operation Epic Fury.
Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Mr. Secretary.
And good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Thanks for being here.
I want to start this morning by honoring the 13 members of our American Joint Force who were killed.
You know, is it me or like this guy is extremely monotone?
And it's like you could tell that he's in an Oval Office with Trump, like, you know, okay, man, like, you really want, you sure you want to do this, Mr. President?
And Trump's like, yes, I want to do it.
Like, all right, I guess.
We got the assets, but this is going to be tough.
You know, it's just like, he's just probably like, fuck.
To me, it seems like he's wearing the emotion of frustration much more than Pete Hegseth.
Pete Hegseth publicly facing makes it seem like he's enthusiastic or ecstatic about the operation and makes it really seem like they're winning.
And if you knew nothing and you were watching this, you would think that we're actually on the winning side of things and we made Iran concede.
But with him, there's like a, doesn't seem like he's all the way there on this.
You know, it kind of seems like he's opposing it.
And he likely is because this guy actually has the qualifications and the certifications to discern this is stupid, you know?
Yeah.
And I think they pulled him out of retirement and gave him his four star.
That's what got him even out here.
The guy was like retired, if I'm not mistaken.
So, yeah.
But yeah, you could tell that, like, this is the type of guy, like, hey, man, like, you sure you want to do this?
Trump's like, yes, let's do it.
He's like, all right, bro.
Whatever.
During this operation, their sacrifice and that of their families is deeply important to us.
And we are grateful.
We are grateful for each of them and will continue to mourn their loss.
Their names and their bravery will never be forgotten.
On February 28th, the President of the United States ordered the Joint Force to execute Operation Epic Fury with the direction to accomplish three distinct military objectives destroy Iran's ballistic missile and drone capabilities, destroy the Iranian Navy, and destroy their defense industrial base to ensure that Iran cannot reconstitute the ability to project power outside their borders.
Over the course of 38 days of major combat operation, the Joint Force achieved the military objectives as defined by the President.
Too late, bro.
They're already going to get influenced in the region.
How are we going to rebuild our bases?
Cooked.
You know what I mean?
Like We welcome the ongoing ceasefire, and as the Secretary said, we hope that Iran chooses a lasting peace.
But as Secretary Hegseth said, let us be clear, a ceasefire is a pause, and the Joint Force remains ready if ordered or called upon to resume combat operations with the same speed and precision as we've demonstrated over the last 38 days, and we hope that that is not the case.
I want to congratulate and thank the leadership today at U.S. Central Command, including the Commander Admiral Brad Cooper, the Deputy Commander Lieutenant General Kevin Leahy, the Senior Enlisted Leader Fleet Master Chief Compton, And every one of the component commanders, senior enlisted leaders, and especially the staff down at U.S. Central Command, who does not get called out for any of the credit but grinds 24 7 to help offer the options that we bring to the Secretary and the President.
I also want to highlight the forces in the United States European Command under the command of Alexis Grinkovich.
Super Chats Desert Joe, thanks for letting me know I'm muted.
He said audio issues in your DNA.
I agree.
Trevor, thanks for the dollar.
We can hear you.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
No, you're good.
You're good.
I want to thank our partners across the intelligence community.
Our ability to see and understand what an adversary is doing.
Help us to be as decisive as we must be on the battlefield.
And that includes DIA, NSA, NGA, the CIA, and the National Reconnaissance Office, and others.
I want to thank the other combatant commands who have thus far contributed along the way to U.S. Central Command.
This includes Transcom, STRATCOM, Spacecom, SOCOM, and Cybercom, all of whom poured all in in support of CENTCOM's efforts.
And I want to thank, as the Secretary did, our Gulf partners who fought alongside each and every one of us every day.
From the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan, all who joined us together to defend and protect our people and our assets, and who, if required, stand ready to do so again.
And I want to thank my team at the Joint Staff, who work literally around the clock in order to help me offer the options that I must.
As the Secretary said, the United States has devastated the regime's ability to harm Americans.
Here we go, Glaze, sign.
And our interests for years to come.
Since the beginning of major combat operations, the United States Joint Force has struck more than 13,000 targets, including in that 13,000, more than 4,000 dynamic targets that popped up on the battlefield and were immediately addressed, thanks to the exceptional command and control system and intelligence acumen and agility of our joint force.
CENTCOM forces destroyed approximately 80% of Iran's air defense systems, striking more than 1,500 air defense targets, more than 450 ballistic missile storage facilities, 800 one way attack drones storage facilities.
All of these systems are gone.
We've devastated Iran's command and control and logistical networks, destroying more than 2,000 command and control nodes and degrading their ability to target U.S. And friendly forces.
It is, and we know this, incredibly frustrating right now to be a lower level Iranian commander trying to fight your fight.
As the Secretary said, the Iranian Navy now lies mostly at the bottom of the Arabian Gulf, and we assess that we've sunk more than 90% of their regular fleet, including all of the major surface combatants, as the Secretary said.
150 ships are at the bottom of the ocean.
They did destroy a good deal of the Navy, but the parts of the Navy that are critical for disrupting the Strait of Hormuz still exist.
However, you can brag about the fact that.
We've destroyed the Air Force, which was never really a competition at the end of the day.
It wasn't not an issue to begin with.
And then now the Navy, they still have these speed boats.
They're still able to deploy the mines with some of the vessels that they use.
So, I mean, if they can't eradicate that, then really they're still able to extract full benefit from the Navy, which is what has allowed them to get a leg up on us in this war.
And then also, he was talking about we destroyed their missile defense systems.
What are you reading?
I'm seeing conflicting reports, you know, and I had somebody try to heckle me about this.
The F 15 jet that was destroyed, was it an over the shoulder man pads kind of strike, or was it from a surface to air missile launch pad?
Do you know the details on that?
Because what I'm reading conflicting reports, I know Trump had said it was man pads, or the White House had said that, but I feel like it's beneficial for them to say that so that they can brag that they destroyed most of the missile defense systems.
Say that one more time.
I'm sorry, bro.
No, I was asking the F 15 jet, what were you reading was.
Responsible for destroying it was it, it was a Bavar with a Russian missile.
Basically, Iran is basically their indigenous surface to air missile platform, and then they use Russian missiles on it.
That's what I was told, and that's what I'm reading.
But there's people who are saying it was manpads, but I think that the United States wants to make it seem like it was some lucky, weird strike with low technology equipment to make it seem like they destroyed most of it.
When in actuality, it was either Chinese or Russian technology that aided them, or both really in tandem.
And another thing, too, I think the other reason why I don't want to admit it, because I think the pilots made a mistake.
They probably flew too high and they got it.
Because, guys, keep in mind the F 15 Eagle is not a stealth aircraft.
It is not a stealth aircraft.
So that's what it is.
Yeah.
So that's what it is.
And if it were to be subject to destruction from man pads like an over the shoulder rocket, well, then it probably would have been lower to the ground.
So, you know, it all kind of works out in regards to the surface to air missile theory from a launch pad.
Go ahead.
The IRGC Navy small attack boats, joint fires protected from the land, sea, and air, executed more than 700 strikes.
Against naval mine targets, and we had to assess that we destroyed more than 95% of their naval mines.
And perhaps most importantly, we've destroyed Iran's defense industrial base, their ability to reconstitute those capabilities for years to come.
We attacked, along with our partners, approximately 90% of their weapons factories.
Every factory that produced Shahid one way attack drones was struck.
Every factory that produces the guidance systems that go into those drones was struck.
Their missile defense industrial base is shattered, with more than 80% of their missile facilities gone, as well as their solid rocket motor.
Production capability.
It will take years for Iran to rebuild any major surface combatants, as more than 20 naval production and fabrication facilities have been damaged or destroyed, and nearly 80% of Iran's nuclear industrial base was hit, further degrading their attempts to attain a nuclear weapon.
Throughout Operation Epic Fury, our joint force struck at the heart of Iran's ability to project power and threaten the United States and the region.
And in order to do this, it required the service and sacrifice of more than 50,000 American warfighters.
Deployed across CENTCOM, UCOM, and stateside.
The joint force flew more than 10,000 missions, including 62 bomber missions, 18 of which flew round trip from the United States to deliver military bombs on military targets.
Each of these missions was more than 30 hours in duration, and we did that 18 times.
No other military in the world can.
Yeah, I think they had a fucking like a merry go round, dude, with the aircraft carriers where they were bombing 24 7.
24 7 air bombing with aircraft carriers.
But I think they couldn't, I don't think they were able to maintain that for much longer because what ended up happening was they couldn't maintain that because of fear of getting hit with cruise missiles or drones.
And do that.
Yeah.
And I have heard from many people too, Riyadh.
I don't know if you've heard this that the Ford was hit by Iran.
It was not a dryer accident.
Yeah.
No, that's what I heard as well.
I heard that that was a lie and that it was hit by a missile.
It makes sense.
Like, because that's kind of a crazy thing.
In the very beginning, in the very beginning of the conflict, like the first or second week, that's when Iranian media said that they hit them with four cruise missiles.
That's bullshit.
But at the same time, and this is what it is like, both the United States and Iran are both lying, right?
So you got to kind of find something in the middle.
Because the U.S. said it was dryers that caught on fire.
And then the Iranians were saying, we hit them with four cruise missiles.
What I think is more than likely, and even when I spoke with some military heads, they think more than likely was a drone.
That's probably what caused it.
Yeah.
Or something.
Because the Ford, the Tripoli, all of those vessels, those amphibious vessels, they have phenomenal anti missile technology, I'll admit.
So a drone is very plausible.
Even for the level of missiles that Iran has, they have a very good defense system.
I'll never lie about that.
They probably swarmed them with drones.
A lot of people in the beginning.
They probably swarmed them with drones.
Dryer Incident Mystery00:02:07
Yeah.
Well, they had two things probably targeting the ship.
It's missiles in the drone, something got through.
And obviously, you know, the US said it was a dryer incident, or maybe it was a dryer incident.
Then Iran said, oh, let's just say that was a missile, but that's less likely.
I do think it was hit.
The other, it was a big goal of theirs to hit it.
The other red flag is like they were trying to put it out for like a day and a half, bro.
What kind of fire do we tell?
What did somebody get their tidy?
Why do you want fire?
Like, what's going on here?
Like, how you find a dryer fire, you know what I mean, for like two days damn near?
And it's a test fire.
Really helped Iran out in critical points of this war.
You know, especially with this F 15 that was just hit, you got Russian and Chinese technology likely working in tandem to take down U.S. military aircraft.
So, very, very critical things that is going to help out China and Russia in the long run.
You know, now they know that their shit works.
Go ahead.
The logistical force that quietly serves behind them.
I cannot thank Transcom and the Air Force Tanker and Mobility Force more.
Combined with Army and Navy joint fires, we stuck more than 13,000 targets.
And along with our Gulf partners, we've thus far intercepted 1,700 ballistic missiles and one way attack drones, defending our forces and our partners in the civilian population.
And we remain ready to do so should the need arise.
Along the way, we consume more than 6 million meals, and by my estimate, more than 950,000 gallons of coffee, 2 million energy drinks, and a lot of nicotine.
But I'm not saying that we have a problem.
I've laid out the statistics, but it does not truly capture the nature of combat.
And our people proudly walked into those unknowns and continue forward.
And through it all, the Joint Force has demonstrated the unwavering resolve that the nation demands of us.
We are a mission-focused force, and our objectives always is to create the conditions for peace, and today we have, while be ready should that peace break, which we hope it is not.
Chaotic Nature of Combat00:02:17
And we remain ready.
Before I turn it back to the secretary, I also want to quickly go in and over the weekend.
Do you want to see Carolyn Levitt's press conference?
Yeah, yeah.
I know she got grilled.
We can take a look at that.
And by the way, I'm seeing consistent reports, some from the Wall Street Journal, that Middle East officials are warning the war is about to flare up again with even greater intensity.
So that's not a secret to us.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, and then we got the Pakistan thing here as well.
Let me open this shit up real quick.
Yeah.
And have you seen this theory that people are saying this is the strategic W for the United States because now we'll be involved in the Strait of Hormuz?
Are you seeing this silly theory floating around online?
Yeah.
Like, oh, this is for the United States to grab a hold of oil assets.
And obviously, that's just, you know, beyond silly.
Of course, I can take the time and debunk that, but the Trump supporters are really grabbing for straws, man.
Let me see here.
We are, let's go.
Yeah, we can go to Caroline.
Yo, this press conference was crazy.
Let me see here.
Yeah, I didn't get to see it.
All right.
You have after hours, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, speaking of which, yo, guys, well, you know what?
Hang on, let's go here.
Streamed eight hours ago.
We're not going to watch the full.
Launcher vehicles and long range attack drones through more than 450 strikes.
Oh, yeah, chat.
Also, do me a favor, guys.
I'm going to get off of YouTube right now.
Come on over to Kick, guys.
I'm going to drop the Kick link for you guys.
Get ready to switch over.

You guys know I hate YouTube.
Or you can watch my brother's channel, Riyadh Report.
So, either or.
If you guys really want to help us, open up a tab on both.
Helps us a lot.
So, I'm going to end the YouTube stream here.
We've been out for an hour.
Okay, guys, giving you guys plenty of sauce on YouTube.
