Myron Gaines and Ryan dissect conflicting reports of Iran striking US ships in the Strait of Hormuz, contrasting CENTCOM's denial with Fars News' claims of missile hits on a warship. They analyze Project Freedom's shift to kinetic escort rules, warning that deploying destroyers invites disproportionate retaliation from Iran's refitted Soviet submarines and All Star loitering munitions. While debating whether this constitutes gunboat diplomacy akin to the Gulf of Tonkin incident, they conclude that Trump's push for decisive action risks escalating a regional stalemate into full-scale war.

Escalating Tensions in the Strait00:15:07
Vietnam, and I say as a very young man and had a draft letter, no way, we got to say no.
I'm adamant, and I welcome anyone to come up here and call me un American or unpatriotic.
I welcome them.
That link is acting funny, but I'm going to send you a screenshot of something, but I don't know.
I don't know why it's not loading now.
It's weird.
Yeah, I'm looking too.
I can't see anything about the carrier in there.
Get confirmation.
But again, I have a screenshot of it where it says it's like the.
I'll send it for.
I don't know if they're messing, like if they're taking the links down or if there's some sort of like conflict.
They usually update it.
So, but yeah, let me look at some other sources too.
One second.
Yeah, I'm looking at my Telegram, but I've lost two major Telegram accounts when this whole thing started and everything went.
Quiet there.
So, and I don't trust updates from USNI.
Anyway, anyone that looks at the USNI, that's the United States Naval Institute, they've been basically, it's way after the fact.
I'm not saying don't discount it, but I like the news that Suleiman and then Mays is able to get Myron and your research team.
But again, we have to vet everything, but we have enough evidence that no, I don't believe anything the United States says, not a word.
Not a word.
And a lot of it, okay, is the part of the psyop and warfare.
They will send out false reports.
But yeah, when we're putting American lives at risk for Israel.
No, thank you.
Nope, not doing it.
Send.
All right.
For all you guys that just came in, guys, welcome.
I was literally about to go to bed.
Suleiman messaged me.
Apparently, there's some reports.
That, or at least from Iranian media, that they struck two ships.
So that's kind of where we're at.
I'll give you guys, I'm going to unmute the space, keep listening to updates, and I'll wait till we get a lot of people in here and I'll kind of explain what's going on again.
So let me unmute this.
It's breaking news.
I want to be clear with you guys, though.
It's not confirmed.
We're talking about 50 50, but I said, you know what?
Fuck it.
I'm in this space.
I'm in here anyway.
Let me just give y'all what's going on.
Let's get right on it.
So I'm going to unmute the space, guys.
I hope every listener that knows or has children of military age, I hope you're telling your kids to stay the hell out.
Exactly.
Guys, can you hear me?
Yeah, I could hear you.
So, I just started stream.
So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to let it build up a little bit.
And then, if you don't mind giving a quick little summary to the people that come in.
Cost, cost, cost.
Yeah, guys, if you could do me, I appreciate that.
Yeah, we'll do my own.
Do me a favor, retweet the space, reshare the space, quartweet the space.
I've got into the office finally, so we're almost ready to go.
I'm just setting up as well.
But, guys, yeah, retweet the space, reshare the space.
This is huge news, quite big.
We are seeing, we're going to see, obviously, we continue to give the news as and when we receive it.
And it seems like the Americans are in a bit of a quandary on what to do because they clearly seem like they don't want to escalate and they're being forced to do so.
This is going to be interesting to see how they're going to deal with this issue.
Okay.
All right.
I just pinned this face to the top.
Hopefully, man, nothing comes of this.
But we'll see what happens, man.
This is fucking.
If this actually got struck, yeah.
I don't think Trump will be able to push that one under the rug.
Yeah, he can't, can he?
But then the question mark becomes.
I thought, like, one of the things I thought was that this was something he'd want anyway.
But I guess we're just unsure about what he, you know, what the aim is or whatever on this.
Yeah, I do think he wants to attack again.
But probably in the cleanest way possible without soldiers dying.
So, if they did actually strike a vessel, that might be nuts.
But obviously, this thing is developing.
We're getting updates every other minute or so.
And I still haven't seen mainstream media report on it.
So, we'll see what happens.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Okay, YouTube is live, but I don't know.
Yeah, I don't care.
People are since working.
Brilliant.
Okay.
Awesome.
So, that's all.
So, okay, we're back.
Was sorted.
Okay, we'll continue to give you the news as and when we receive it.
Lots of obviously, this is quite shocking for us.
Not shocking in the sense of I did say that look, there may be something that happens, and if it does, we're going to restart the space immediately, which we've done.
So I guess it wasn't completely shocking because we were thinking that something may happen.
But yeah, this is an escalation as per the possibility of something happening.
We have a statement from the UAE.
The UAE has formally condemned the attack by Iran on the Adnok tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.
Remember, this was a UAE tanker, which I was telling Marin about, which happened about 12 hours ago.
Abu Dhabi called it a flagrant violation of UN Security Council.
2817 on freedom of navigation.
The UAE is demanding Iran halt attacks, commit to an immediate ceasefire, and reopen the strait unconditionally.
No injuries were reported.
So, obviously, the UAE is giving it the big talk about this.
So, that's interesting.
Zafsa, are you going to stream on TikTok eventually?
Yeah, the video bit.
Yeah, we are.
It's just we need to.
We got you apparently to get permission or something, so we applied for it.
I don't know if hopefully we get it.
If we do, then we will.
Um, so hit up, uh, Gary about that on the side, he'll take care of you.
Yeah, yeah, hopefully.
Yeah, I've been, I won't say too much, but he got you.
Yeah, yeah, I've been asking him, but he's uh, I don't know, we'll see.
Uh, so, um, what else?
Well, I guess, so he go ahead, go ahead, make um, no, sorry, say what you're gonna say, and then I was gonna, if you don't mind, have you um, kind of recap stuff for my audience.
Yeah, of course.
So just to clarify, actually, funny enough, you said that, but it's almost going to be that it's going to be a clarification.
The IRGC at the moment have not claimed they struck the US Navy vessel.
The statement literally says they fired two warning shots toward the ship, but cannot comment on whether there was any damage.
Okay, so this is CENCOM is attempting to save face with propaganda, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, so it is what I said.
So the IRGC Navy at the moment have said they fired two shots.
Yep.
So, actually, let me recap for your entire audience so you know exactly what's going on.
So basically, we got reports initially that Iran had fired two missiles and hit a US Navy warship.
That was the first piece of news we got.
That was from Fars News, which is Iranian media.
CENCOM came out and said, no, this is not true.
No missiles were fired.
But CENCOM did not say whether a ship.
Sorry, CENCOM said, let me rephrase that.
CENCOM said, our ships weren't hit.
But what they didn't say was whether missiles were fired or not.
Iran's IRGC say that they fired two warning missiles.
But they don't say whether they hit the ship as well.
So it seems like the IAGC and CENCOM may not be too far away from what they're saying.
Both of them aren't saying or confirming whether, well, CENCOM is denying the ship was hit.
IAGC haven't said whether the ship has been hit yet.
But Iranian media is saying the ship was hit.
So hopefully that kind of explains the three different narratives on this at the moment.
Okay.
What was the last thing that CENCOM said?
They said that they intercepted it or it didn't hit them?
What was their thing?
No, they're just saying precisely, specifically that.
Our ship wasn't hit.
They're not saying whether the missiles were fired or not.
Gotcha.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, I guess this leads to the second question Were they warning shots or were they actually real shots?
Very good question.
I believe Senkal, I believe the.
Let me just double check.
Yeah, what did the Iranian media say?
Did they say it was like.
Iranian media announced that it was warning shots.
Forrest News an hour ago said that two shots were launched from Iran and they hit the American ship, not the.
Warship, not the carrier, but one warship.
But then the Navy, Iranian Navy, not IRDC Navy, put out a statement saying that two warning shots have been fired.
Details will follow.
And the details have not been announced yet.
They said we don't know anything about casualties or the direct hit.
But as soon as we get more information, we will update you.
So on that front, it wasn't a carrier.
That's what I just said.
So, McMercy, what you said first, at first it was two missiles, then you said three.
Is it?
Two or three, or is it five?
No, no, no, two, two.
No, two.
I said the Fars News Agency said two were hit, but that was probably a mistake because we don't have the definitive answer yet, no confirmed news as for the hits.
But then the Navy, Iranian Navy, just put out the statement that two missiles were shot as a warning to the American warship and not the carrier, just the warship.
And obviously, it is not reasonable to think it was a carrier.
Because a carrier moving means a lot of worship around it, and it is a very big movement.
So, having that kind of move, it's meaningless if you don't respond.
But then they said it returned, and it didn't continue.
It was near Josk, I think, island was, or something like that.
I can get you the news and give you the name of the island itself.
I got a question for you.
You actually live in Iran, right outside of Tehran.
What do you think happened?
Obviously, we're here in America, we're not really hearing stuff until the US feels like it's safe to do so, or Trump puts on True Social.
How reliable do you think it is or probable that this happened?
Well, it is obvious because I follow the news of the war very closely here.
It is obvious that shots were fired and the two missiles, that's also definitive.
But, you know, Americans, they want to take it to the next level, at least in the media front.
They want to say we are, you know, empowering Iranians.
We are overpowering Iranians and we're doing whatever we want to do.
But they also want to get to the next level.
You know, Netanyahu's court, you know, he was just delayed because he said that I have security reasons.
You know, diplomatic and security reasons were announced by him later on, but the first report was that it was just for security reasons.
And obviously, he's running out of time, so he is going to push the Americans to do something.
And Americans, on the other hand, they want to announce to the world that we have the upper hand.
They have no choice but to get somewhere better than where they are right now.
And it is not going to be possible without any confrontation because Iran's plan, the 14th.
Point plan that was just set forward.
Again, it wants more than what it wanted before.
Before it was 10, now it's 14, before that it was 3.
But in the stages, the first one is the blockade.
So they have to get out, but obviously they can do that.
So I think it's more of probing than anything else at this stage.
But it will escalate by the looks of it.
And Iranians, you know, we don't just respond with statements from various entities to an empty threat.
Before this, whenever the United States Trump said something like, we're going to attack, we're going to do this and that.
You had responses from one head of IRGC, for instance, one politician, stuff like that.
But today, we had multiple heads of IRGC, RGC Navy, RGC Intelligence, we had multiple politicians, we had the Foreign Ministry of Iran, and many news agencies that said this over and over again that any aggression, if the United States wants to make any moves towards this rate of removes, we're going to respond with force, we're going to have some warnings in the beginning, but in the end, we will attack you.
Now, this sentence, we will attack you, it was You know, echoed by politicians and media and commanders of, you know, IRGC and military.
So I think something's going to happen.
And we are taking this more seriously this time.
This is just empty threats by the United States.
We believe something is about to happen.
And this is, I believe, the first step.
But it is too soon to say if it's going to escalate right now.
It's interesting because this is day one of the, you know, whole escort freighter ships thing that Trump's trying to do.
So it's, you know, interesting timing that this happens now.
Yeah, and I heard that they walked it back and said, We're not going to just escort ships.
We're just going to coordinate the effort, you know, for help them get through this trade.
But, you know, they can do anything over there.
But, Messi, that's not right.
So, basically, what you said is right up until CENTCOM actually clarified.
And CENTCOM clarified that they're going to be using 15,000 personnel, they're going to be using destroyers, they're going to be using a large amount of American military armada to.
Basically, make sure these ships go through.
So, what you're saying, first, we were thinking that was the case initially, but then we got clarification from CENCOM that actually this is why we said to everybody we're thinking maybe kinetic in the morning and be ready because we might start the space.
So, no, CENCOM, let me just read the actual last paragraph what CENCOM said for the audience.
They said, quote, US military support to Project Freedom, because this is what this is called Project Freedom, will include guided missile destroyers, over 100 land and sea based aircrafts.
Multi domain unmanned platforms and 15,000 service members.
So they already were saying that they were going to use for this mission quite a large amount of their own military armada to try and help these ships through the strait.
Detailed Rules of Engagement00:10:29
Because initially we got the Trump statement, we thought, oh my god, Trump's saying he's going to escort this ship, this is going to escalate.
And then you saw my interview with Dimitri and Larry Johnson, where we end up asking them exactly when the news came out.
And then we started getting reports from the Wall Street Journal that said that no, America's not going to be using its military assets and it's just going to be giving these ships a route, which we were all laughing at because that made no sense.
What could they do in that scenario?
And then CENCOM came out and made a detailed post explaining everything that they're going to be doing.
Okay, so Sully, I think this is AI, but I might as well fucking bring it up.
This dude named RKM Times says Justin, Iran released his first footage that shows two Iranian missiles hit multiple US ships.
I could give you the link, but I think this is fucking AI, bro.
What does it say?
I'm going to give you the link right now.
I'm going to DM it to you.
You could put in an Aster.
You can look at it yourself too.
Because I'm really horrible with Twitter.
Yeah, you see the point is here it's not.
We've got some more breaking news and I'll give it to you, Makhmet, so you can jump in straight after.
This is according to Barack Ravid Axios, and your Axios is basically the mouthpiece of the Israeli government as well as the mouthpiece of Trump as well.
So he said the following quote, sorry, this is breaking from him.
He says, U.S. officials say the rules of engagement for U.S. forces in the region have been changed and they have been authorized to strike immediate threats against any ship.
That crosses the Strait of Hermos, like IRGC fastboat or Iranian missile positions.
So they say that the US military is going to shoot on anyone who even gets close to them as well.
So that's the kind of list.
What were you going to say, McMurcy?
Before I real quick jump in, sorry, McMurcy, I just got to say something to that ROE.
That's what I've been waiting to hear.
When that's made official, the commanders, on scene commanders, once they get that ROE, that's go time, that's when they start shooting.
So there you go.
That's kinetic.
I've never heard of that order before.
I could have sworn when he started the blockade that that was like the original.
I'd never heard the actual.
It was just him saying, We're going to, we're going to, but we don't know what the ROE is for the on scene battle commander.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's everything.
ROE is everything.
That's the thing.
Here's what you do.
Can you tell my audience?
And just I'll introduce Andrew real quick to my guys.
Andrew, guys, used to be in the Navy.
You did intelligence, if I'm not mistaken, right, Andrew?
Yeah, retired naval officer.
I started in Intel and then got my commission, was in with amphibious, and then I transitioned into submarine warfare, which I spent the remaining of my career in submarine warfare.
And then as a consultant, a military consultant, Pentagon, and then United States Naval Institute for several years.
Yeah.
Perfect.
So you're very qualified.
Can you quickly tell us what those acronyms and stuff like that you were using mean?
Yeah, ROE, Rules of Engagement.
That literally every battle commander, okay, and this I'm speaking Navy, but the Army Marines use the same thing, but in the Navy, specifically speaking U.S. Naval Forces, we have a battle plan, and it's called an order of battle.
Imagine a library of books, and these are like encyclopedia texts where every detail, in this case, we'll say the Iranian battle space, Persian Gulf, whatever, we'll say Persian Gulf battle space for naval force afloat.
You pull that down and there's detail, detail, detail plans.
I mean excruciating detail.
I've helped Rit write these before.
So then, okay, that's the order of battle.
But then what's the rules of engagement here?
We know this is how we'll fight this battle, but what battle are we going to fight today?
Oh, today is rules of engagement, Operation Freedom.
If any Iranian force or any military force, whatever meets, comes in with your area of objective of 100 yards or 2,000 yards, they'll specify it.
You have orders to shoot.
And orders to shoot, to kill, to take out, or orders to fire a warning shot.
It's quite detailed when you get those rules of engagement.
How are you going to engage?
And when they get that, that's when it's go time.
They don't have to go, Mother May I.
They operate.
So, Andrew, the reason why I asked you this question is basically, Trump said Iran Navy is laying at the bottom of the sea, completely obliterated, 158 ships.
What we have not hit is their small number of what they call fast attack ships.
Then he puts, like, blah, blah, blah, warning.
If any of these ships come anywhere close to our blockade, they will be immediately eliminated using the same system of kill.
That we used against the drug dealers or boats at sea.
It is quick and brutal.
So, wouldn't it be fair to say that he might have already given that order based on what he wrote on True Social?
He's just saying what he wants to do, but we still don't know what the ROE is for that commander.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
Like, in other words.
So, it needs to come from the commander to know it's legit.
Trump can say whatever he wants on True Social to bluff, but unless it comes from a commander, obviously at the back of Trump, they won't do it.
Exactly.
It's got to come from the commander in chief of the military, Trump.
To his Department of Defense or War in Hegseth.
He gives it to the JCS.
JCS gives it to the type commanders, actually the unseen battle commanders, the force commanders, and then they go over it with the actual float commander, and then it's given to each individual ship.
And that commanding officer gets that, and it comes in like an op immediate message, flash precedence.
He'll get this message, or he or she will receive this message.
Here is op order ABC.
Proceed with rules of engagement ABC, and it's very delineated.
They immediately get their wardroom, they get their tactical commanders, they attack them, and they put everyone together.
They go over it, they practice it, they rehearse it.
And if it's a real quick changing order of battle, a rule of engagement, they've already practiced this in scenarios, but now they say, now engage, and then they actually put it in plan, and then they'll go into a battle station.
Submarines go, we call.
Battle stations, subsurface go general quarters, general quarters.
That's the highest state of alert.
Everyone takes their position and they increase their watertight integrity.
They lock up, they pack up and lock up every hole fitting and get ready for a hit missile hit.
Fire control teams go into service, firefighting teams go in.
Everything is ready for action, but they can only keep that for so many hours.
After a while, fatigue sets in.
People don't eat right.
I mean, I've gone for 30 some hours in this condition once in an op I was doing.
It's a very, everything's on edge right now.
I mean, everything's on edge.
But again, if I were that commander receiving the order to go into a kill box, hell no, man.
We don't fight the Iranians in their turf.
They have to fight us in our turf.
I'm speaking not, I'm putting on my military hat.
Have them fight us out in the deep water, and now our submarines are going to completely start dropping targets left and right.
But in the Gulf, the Iranians have it, man.
Only an idiot, a fool.
Or a Trump zombie.
Can't the missiles they have right now, if they wanted to?
Yeah.
The Iranians could be dropping them right now.
Okay.
Yeah.
Because in my opinion, they could be these guys anyway.
I mean, if they're shooting missiles anywhere.
Yeah, exactly.
They could be dropping them right now.
Now, we have good missile defense, but again, the swarm effect come on.
I haven't even gone into the asymmetrical submarine threat.
I haven't even talked about that.
And the Iranians don't want to talk about it.
I don't want to talk about it, but they could start dropping targets from under the water.
And the Iranians know it.
Any Iranian battle commander listening to me is going, yeah, we know that.
Yeah, we don't do that.
We don't want to go in there.
But let's be honest.
It's like you don't go fight a bully if you have a high-powered rifle.
And I'm not calling the Iranians bullies.
No, the United States is the aggressor here.
But I'm saying take yourself out of any ethnic group or any nationality.
Look at it like this.
You don't go fight someone's fight if they got the advantage.
No, you fight it.
Your fight, you bring in your superior power.
We don't have superior air power, we don't have air superiority, we do not have air dominance.
So that, and we don't have surface dominance, we don't in the Persian Gulf, we don't have submarine dominance in the Persian Gulf.
So, real quick, uh, sorry, Andrew, um, can you uh, no problem.
I sent you that that's what I was, yeah, I couldn't open it, it takes it to locals, but then I can't, I opened it, but then it just doesn't show me anything.
What the okay, let me get you this again, yeah, um.
But just to give you guys a recap of what's happened, I did put out a tweet explaining it quickly and hopefully concisely.
But there are three different positions on the Iranian missiles fired on US warships.
The CENTCOM says the warships were not hit, but they do not say whether they were fired at.
IIGC say two warning shots fired with missiles at US warships, no confirmation of hits.
But Iranian media said two missiles fired by Iran hit Iran.
US warships.
So that's the three pieces of information and news on that, just so people are aware of where everything is coming from.
All right.
So, my bad, I gave you the wrong link.
Okay, check the one I just put in your DM now.
Cool.
I'm sharing it on my screen too.
It looks like AI to me.
I pray this shit isn't real, dude.
Yeah, that's AI, man.
Yeah, that's fake.
It's fake, right?
Yeah.
All right.
I think so.
But let me double check it, though.
Iranian Submarine Threats Revealed00:15:46
But Andrew, you were speaking, bro.
My bad.
We didn't mean to cut you off.
Go ahead.
No, I think I wrapped it up.
We've been talking about this extensively for those that have been in the space and we've been working this.
I've been working with Suleiman for over a year, you, Myron, longer than that.
And even with Myron, folks that don't know your background in law enforcement and research and forensics and stuff, FBI and all that stuff.
We've seen this, and you know, we got the maze in here, and they even got China in here.
On the we've talked about this so extensively, and here we are again.
It's Groundhog Day, so I'll add.
I said what I was gonna say, okay?
You know, inevitably, so you got your hand up, bro.
Shoot, what do you think?
Definitely, yes, yes, no, just to piggyback off of what Andrew said earlier, yeah, like it's just the subterranean elements that Iran could employ alone kind of tell me that what occurred.
Was either more of a warning shot or they, you know, they may not have.
Look, they were not seriously trying to sink the destroyer.
I thought too that, look, you know, usually if it's the Abraham Lincoln, I don't think they'd ever let the Abraham Lincoln get that close because Josk Island is really basically right by the Strait of Hormuz.
It's not like you're out in the Arabian Sea.
And I don't think they'll bring any of their aircraft carriers anywhere near there.
Like it just wouldn't make.
Sense and the closer, and we can all see the closer that you get to the Strait of Hormuz, and heaven forbid they try the Persian Gulf or that they try Karg Island as they promised months ago.
Um, you know, you would see it get much more precarious.
Iran has, for example, like their Azdar missile, which is an underwater it's not a kamikaze missile, but it's more of a like an autonomous torpedo or torpedo, right?
And and it's like a smart mobile mine, so it can like literally once you let it off, it recognizes.
The target it recognizes the shape of the hull of everything, yes.
Is this the missile that the IRGC was bragging about that only them and the Russians have and the Chinese?
I will.
This one is more so.
They're oh, an IRG official said, Hey, we have some missiles that no one has except for like the Russians or Chinese.
Is that what you're talking about?
Oh, that that's more than that's that may be one of them.
Um, this one is more so the All Star, that's like their unmanned underwater vehicle, so it's mentioned underwater.
That's why I'm asking you that, yeah.
Okay, that's that's probably it, gotcha.
It more than likely is it.
Yeah, it's extremely fat.
Like, it hits like 25 knots.
It can stay online for quite a while.
It has this like loitering standby mode where you basically, like, just it's AI integrated and it kind of can wait out there for, I think it's about a bit over four days that it can loiter.
So it can literally just wait out there and look for targets and threats.
And after, and it can cover like 600 kilometers.
What?
That's just sit in the fucking seabed and just wait?
Yeah, it's a shark.
Literally, I don't know how else to put it.
Yeah, it's bad.
It's good.
Yeah, it's serious.
It's serious.
Like, that's, you know, at least three days.
Is that Russian or Chinese analogy?
So, that is my understanding they, I think Russia helped in the early stages, but Iran really like the finishing touches and the, you know, as they typically what happens, they get, you know, early stage work with either China, Russia, or North Korea for at least some of their heaviest hitters.
And then some of the more new features or some of the more, State of the art cutting edge features typically are Iranian, just like reverse engineering.
Not to say that China and Russia can't do it, but that they've done it based off of their own engineering, if that makes sense.
So, they make sure they add it and just like the basics are set up with their allies.
And yeah, it's a big, it's a monster.
And they can launch it, by the way, from their subs as well, right?
So, you can imagine like an Iranian sub that has like, I don't know how many they can send off, but if they have Iranian subs, which again, they got a lot of help from Russia in developing, they can store them there and then let them go, right, from their submarines.
So, they can launch these automated drones from submarines that loiter for days.
Imagine that.
And they have kamikaze drones as well that are submarine launched.
And these are like more sub to air.
So if they have subs, for example, like if you're out in the Arabian Sea, you can go up to around like 25 meters below depth, let off these kamikaze drones.
And then pretty much like it's, and that is also a world first capability.
They debuted that last year.
And again, you just let that off.
It's a swarm of drones that they can fire from a submarine again.
And that can typically hit, I imagine that that would hit.
I think from their Kilo class subs, I think they can launch about like six or eight of them.
They can let those aerial loiter, right?
So again, they can persist or slaughter for two to four hours of flight time until the AI knows the target for the dive bomb attack.
So Iran can do that.
And we're talking about like this idea that there was any serious attack.
Now, granted, I think it does show this morning that Iran is serious.
That they are going to, willing and able to engage.
But they really, for all we know, they may have just sent a couple of Shahads from the drone or from the shore, right?
Because Jask Island, I think that's not too far from Manab.
I could be mistaken.
But I know Jask Island, that's like out by the Gulf of Oman, and I highly doubt they went through the Strait of Hormuz.
So anywhere in that Gulf of Oman area, they can just launch from the shore, from their deployers, and then pretty much let the drones take course until they get near their target, right?
Iran has a lot of control here.
They're not in a position.
And by the way, even if they didn't land a direct hit, what could have occurred also was like a near strike or a near contact.
They have equipped some of their missiles and drones with this proximity fuse, where, especially for heat seekers, like the proximity fuse, usually for missiles that they send with heat seekers, they can essentially, when they come near, Typically, F 35s, for example, or even some of the Arleigh class destroyers that Adrian was talking about, send off flares that are meant to kind of like confuse the missile that's targeting them.
And so that proximity fuse allows it to kind of like tell out using its laser or radio frequency sensors, it tells out like exactly what the target is and it's able to determine that their target is a vessel as opposed to those flares, if that makes sense, right?
If you have a heat seeking missile, flares are helpful to distract the missile and lure them into hitting the wrong target or being misdirected.
But if you have the missile hit the, or if the missile can tell apart, right, using its electrospectral monitoring, then it'll literally be able to, or rather, excuse me, I think it's spectral optical monitoring.
I think that's the term for it.
It'll be able to make out the vessel that it's targeting from the flares and then explode near it.
And that is exactly what Iran had happened.
To an F 35 about like six weeks ago.
And if you remember, CENTCOM also said, oh, no, that was not hit.
Our F 35 was not hit.
Right.
And this is what made me think of that.
Because if they're going to say, oh, we weren't hit, even though you had a proximity fee, if you was affecting your jet and causing it to do an emergency landing, then who knows if that's not what they're doing here as well.
That's a great point, inevitable.
Yeah, that's the point that we just don't know what the truth is.
And I think out of the three different positions, I think what the IIGC are saying is probably the most accurate statement.
But there again, you don't know.
Because what they've said is missiles are fired, but no confirmation of hit.
Obviously, the Americans just deny it irrespective of the situation.
But access to reporting the following this is more of an overview of things.
They're saying that Trump is frustrated by the no deal, no war stalemate with Iran and is pushing for more decisive action in the Strait of Hormuz.
One official said the president wants action, he wants pressure, he wants a deal.
On Thursday evening, do you remember we were reporting that there was a meeting on Thursday with basically Trump's top military officials and Trump's security officials and Trump's Foreign policy.
Well, we said a plan was laid out.
There were three different proposed plans that went in the media, and it seems like the real plan was none of those three.
The real plan, it says, on Thursday evening, a plan was presented to send a naval ship through the Strait of Ramus, but Trump opted for a more cautious approach initially.
So it seems like this plan was concocted on Thursday, but Trump wasn't too sure about it until he initiated it last night.
Any Iranian reaction will be considered an act of aggression.
Well, that's already happened, given Washington the justification to take military action.
The operation could be the start of a direct confrontation or a prelude to a potential agreement.
So that's what access are reporting.
So it's very much in line with what we're seeing right now.
And that just came out now, I'm assuming.
That's like within the last few minutes or so?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Shit.
Yeah, this shit's really developing.
This is going crazy.
For all the people that.
They found their workaround then by the way, oh, sorry, man.
They found their workaround, by the way, then, for the 60 day timeline that they had.
Right?
For the War Powers Act?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Of course.
Yeah, actually, yeah, you're fucking right.
Yeah.
Yo.
I don't know whether to like laugh or just shake my head because that's just, I don't know.
I guess, you know, this was a question though.
Yeah.
The only question is, Project Freedom, is this going to be the name of the new kinetic one, or is he going to let this drag out and then give it the new operation like a third name?
So that starts a bit later, if that makes sense.
Inevitable.
So, for example, what I mean is, you had Project, um, we you had uh, what was it, Project Epic Fury that hit 60 days, and then now it's Project Freedom.
He left right for like I don't know, like two, three weeks, and then when they go kinetic again, or even in the between, it he'll be like, okay, the real operation is called Project Something Else, if that makes sense.
Yeah, under the pretext of even, oh, self defense.
Oh, this was like they'll be able to basically decide when they've been aggressed upon whenever it's convenient.
And then when they're ready, maybe from a logistic standpoint, they'll just pretty much like press the button.
And then, oh, yeah, new operation, new name, new motive.
And then I think, under the pretense of defense, that'll give them enough justification in their minds.
And maybe even it will, I'm sure Congress will take it.
Why not?
Yeah, let me just give some recap again because new people are coming into the space and into the stream, YouTube stream.
We have three different positions on the Iranian missiles being fired at U.S. military.
Real quick, so real quick, yeah, guys, guys watching my stream, I want you guys to pay close attention.
A lot of you guys just came in, so he's gonna give you guys an update of what's been going on for all you guys that are just coming in now.
Please pay attention and uh, yeah, bro, take it away.
Appreciate it, brother.
Um, so three different positions on what's happened this morning.
As you know, yesterday Trump announced Project Freedom, where he said he was gonna militarily essentially escort vessels from the Strait of Hermos out of the Strait of Hermos.
We have three different positions on what's happened.
Senkoma saying their warship was not.
So, what we know is, or what the claim is, that Iranian missiles were fired.
Senkoma saying their warship was not hit, but they did not say whether or not the missiles were fired or not, the two missiles from Iran.
IRGC are saying two warning shots fired with missiles at US warships, but they haven't confirmed any hits as well.
And it was Iranian media, Fars News specifically, who said two missiles were fired by Iran and hit US warships.
So that was kind of the three different positions on that.
And then we've got loads of statements from Barack Ravid and Axios saying that any aggression would result in kinetic war.
But I just want to welcome as well.
So that's the latest one that I'm married.
Thank you, Ryan.
Yeah, I appreciate you.
I want to welcome Ryan onto the stage as well, Ryan.
Ryan, hope you're well.
How are you doing?
Pretty good.
This Middle East never leaves me alone.
I can't take a day to do anything.
To what y'all were talking about before with APEC Fury or Epstein Fury, I think they called it Epic Fury.
And then you have Freedom Flotilla, whatever the hell it is.
What he's doing there is playing around with the War Powers Act because he has 90 days where he can fool about with the War Powers Act if you get the interpretation from about when it was made and then LBJ and blah, blah, blah.
Then what Trump said is like, no.
Bro said, APAC Fury.
What the fuck?
And this is a new one.
So I don't have to get congressional authority.
I've got another three months to mess around without any oversight.
So that's why he's trying to say that Paul's counts and that this is a brand new conflict and not a continuation of the old one when it absolutely is a continuation of the war that Israel and America started.
As far as firing on the ship, it most likely was two warning shots because.
If your goal was to sink the ship, you'd keep shooting at it.
You know, if it's two, then that's the warning shots that probably turned around.
But they warned them.
They said, do not put U.S. military ships, especially fucking destroyer, in the Strait of Hormuz.
Or as I like to call the Persian Strait.
Lindsey Graham doesn't like any of the names that have the word straight in it, by the way.
Of course, that guy's straight as a boomerang.
But they warned them.
They're like, don't do that.
And it's not necessary.
The Strait of Hormuz is open, closed open.
It's open and filtered.
Iran decides what goes in, what goes out.
And what does not go in or out are U.S. destroyers.
Now, I heard another story that it was not a destroyer, it was some patrol boat, whatever.
It doesn't matter.
American, military, anything is not allowed in the Strait.
So most likely they gave him a couple warning shots.
This is before his timeline.
It was supposed to be a few hours from now.
To his loudmouth clock, whatever, countdowns.
I got to point this out too.
We used to call things like that a nothing burger, and now we call it a taco.
This is why we got to get our borders in shape, folks.
Hey, Ryan, I do want to say when you said APAC Fury, I fucking was dying, dude.
Border Control and Societal Shifts00:03:14
APAC Fury is wild.
You can Israel that.
Feel free to Israel that.
Like, APAC Fury.
Because honestly, Epstein is just a subset of APAC anyway.
Oh my God, bro.
Yeah, I'm definitely going to Israel that one.
Holy, that joke was promised to me 3,000 years ago, bro.
APAC Fury is fucking wild.
Dude, I'm the one that started Epstein Fury 2.
I was out of space when you said that shit.
I started crying, bro.
You got to switch it up.
You got to switch it up.
It's like Apex Fury.
It just rolls.
It just sounds like Epic Mar.
And that's exactly what it is.
It's a bunch of Jewish billionaires that have this eschatological belief or at least pretend to or whatever.
But they utilize that mythology to grab land and be like, we were there thousands of years ago.
I was talking to this girl.
This American girl that's been in Israel, she got stuck there because of the war.
She hates it.
She likes the funniest thing is, these people can't form a line because since everybody cuts and everyone cuts everyone else, there's no lines.
They just all crowd up next to stuff.
That's the kind of society they live in.
They can't make a line.
I'm like, that's hilarious.
I guess it's tough if everybody thinks that that space and line was promised to them 3,000 years ago.
Yeah, they're just like God gave me the spot thousands, thousands of years ago in my story.
Dude, you know what?
I'm glad you said that, Ryan, because I've seen so many pictures of Ben Gurion Airport.
Dude, no one's in fucking line.
Everyone's just swarming the ticket counter, bro.
It's like Brazilians at a buffet.
There's no order.
It's just, you know, it's like they can't do it.
And they all feel entitled.
They're like, oh, I'm serious.
See, even like America, it's like.
80% of people will line up.
Some people will cut, but they'll get called out on it.
They go, no.
So they're like, strangers will say, no, I saw them here first.
You can't do that.
Like, there's consequences.
Yeah.
But in Israel, they all just yell at each other.
They're just all like playing victim and like, they'll lay up.
It's just, it's like, who can outcovet the other?
They can't even make a fucking line.
And then, like, this is how they live.
They all feel like the world belongs to me.
You can almost like judge the society by how well they line up.
Like, Japan, you could have the whole subway lined up.
Quiet, orderly, boom.
Try that in America.
You'll get slime, sort of.
It's like half and half in Israel.
It's just a good crowd at the front.
It's just black people, so that's not that bad.
Yeah.
Well, that's.
But some black people will line up.
Or they'll cut.
But most of them, yeah, they'll cut or they'll at least line with each other or whatever.
But Israel's not even any line.
That's the bottom.
And what makes it worse is everything is promised to them from God.
So, it's just that's the ultimate arrogance.
Like the creator of the cosmos gave me this spot, Ryan, but I can't eat bacon.
Commentary on Rising Arrogance00:02:24
I'm sure you know the breaking news, and it's developing every other minute.
But if you had to make, I guess, a gun to head had to make an estimate, how probable do you think it is that U.S. vessels were struck?
Well, I'm hearing it was warning shots, which makes sense.
That you would do that, you wouldn't just bang like you'd shoot above them or near them first.
But they will shoot them.
I mean, trust me, like if they keep effing around, they're not afraid to do this.
And they told him, you don't need to escort anything in or out of this, your stupid blockade of a blockade.
The problem is, Trump, who I think is legitimately like senile or something wrong with him, he's surrounded by Zionist rats and he won't listen to anyone else because he listens to whoever blows the most smoke up his ass, which is, you know, you think the Pachites are good at that.
When the Kushners and those people get around, that's their profession.
His son in law got like two.
Billion dollars from Saudi Arabia for no services.
I'm like, well, we know what the services were, they just pay to play, and you can't admit it.
But I, you know, could this restart the war?
Like, it, hey guys, don't worry, I'm gonna um start reading chats here soon, just trying to keep you guys appraised.
Obviously, it's not 100% certain that we struck that they got struck, but we'll see what happens.
Israel is like, no, we're having a hard time with it.
And I apologize, guys, if I'm slurring my words a little bit, I literally just took Zequil and was gonna go to sleep.
And then this shit pops off.
So I was like, fuck it, bro.
I had to come back in the fucking studio, turn on the lights.
So please excuse me if I'm not as sharp as usual, guys.
Haven't slept yet.
There, this is the phrase.
And if y'all can remember when George.
You better like the fucking video, bro.
Y'all see how fucking much I sacrificed Fionnigas.
Smash the fucking like video.
I'm staying on YouTube because I want you guys to see what the fuck's going on.
Whether this is real or not, I'm going to fucking, you know, keep y'all at least for the next hour or two appraised.
So like the video.
Follow me on Kick, guys.
Best commentary channel.
Interceptor.
Best political commentary channel on Kick.
They like it on you to get us an algo.
But they're running very low on tomahawks of all styles four or five block, whatever, whatever.
They don't have enough.
So they gathered them all.
They added the Bush.
They brought the Ford back, which was supposed to be in the first conflict, but wasn't.
And then the Lincoln is still there.
Gulf of Tonkin Parallels Drawn00:14:32
And they're thinking, yeah, if we just heavily hit them.
But I mean, it's such a canard.
Like, oh, really?
For the first 40 days of war, what were you just holding back?
This isn't Dragon Ball Z. Like, you were not hiding your power level.
Like, you hit them as hard as you could.
Minus nukes, and it didn't work.
You don't have any special stuff except one thing.
They're talking about, well, we got the Dark Eagle.
Oh, yes, you have a hypersonic Dark Eagle that you don't even know if it works or not.
$41 million a piece.
Guess how many they have?
Eight.
And they moved them from Asia, which is retarded.
Like, like one, two, three, five, six, seven, eight.
Eight.
Not 80, not 18, just eight of those.
All right, yeah, that'll make the difference.
But.
You know, there's something more you can do.
They're only Mach 6, by the way.
Yeah, I'm just walking past.
You know, an hour before everything happened, an hour before the attack by the Iranian side, 15 remaining personnel of Tusca ship were just returned to Iran and just touched Iranian soil.
So, Americans who had gotten seized the Tusca ship, they just returned.
The personnel of that ship.
So you could see easing tensions on one hand and on the other one, just trying to move past the Strait of Hormuz with your warship.
I think maybe it could be just a response to that because as soon as the news of that got out, Americans just let go of Iranian personnel of the ship they seized.
Why would they do something like this?
So maybe all of this was just a counter move for that and nothing too serious because I was just looking at the news.
Nothing new has been reported, just that the Iranians just returned.
That's it, nothing more.
So we could look at it like that too.
Yeah, I'm kind of torn.
Like, I don't want escalation, but a small part of me does, and I feel guilty about it.
But I feel like there just isn't another solution.
You can't negotiate with terrorists, and Iran's going to have to bomb its way out of this.
Like, they're going to have to cause enough pain to the Gulf and Israel that they never, ever want to try this again.
But, you know, but it's look.
When America wants to trigger, they'll just make up some bullshit and they'll do it.
They don't even have to play around.
They'll say the uranium thing again.
They'll do that forever.
Look, Russia even asked to, you can put the uranium here.
And before Iran said no, Trump said no.
It's like, wait, I thought that was the whole goal.
It's like, no.
Because that uranium acts as a pretext for American violence.
They're not serious about it.
They don't care if they have it or don't have it.
You know, they just want to act like all they have ambition to make the bomb, so we got to get them.
That's why everyone's going to get the bomb in the future.
They're looking at Libya, they look at North Korea, and they're like, hmm, what happens when you can't protect your country?
You know, most people inside Iran want the same thing, too.
Most Iranians do want this to go to the next level and finish because right now it is obviously an unfinished business, and the Americans are here, Israelis are still attacking Lebanon.
Actually, the news of a huge Firefight inside Lebanon was just announced.
So we do want this too, even though they're going to attack us, they're going to bomb us.
But this isn't finished.
It has to finish for the whole region to see peace, I mean.
Okay, so I'm looking at Rirom, guys.
Right.
So I would say at this point, routers is at least saying that Iran did claim that they shot the rockets.
And then on top of that, it's saying regional sources have also confirmed that Iran did indeed fire warning shots.
Maybe not struck, but it seems like between routers, And regional sources, they're saying that missiles were fired.
Now, as far as did it hit, that's a different story.
So we'll have to see.
Yeah, that's the gist of it.
But that was one of our number one questions was like, did they even shoot the missiles?
I could say it pretty confidently now, they at least shot at the US at this point.
Yeah, RT is reporting it too, and most of the Telegram channels are on this.
There are some warning shots fired.
What I'm more disturbed about is, did a US ship actually try to go into the strait?
After being told specifically, don't do that.
Like, you're lucky it was just some warning shots.
Well, this is a very dang good chicken.
I thought it was an American warship.
That's what I meant.
The Americans should not send an American ship into the strait at all.
Did I say Israel?
Yeah, yeah.
Because I think of them as the same thing.
You know, it's like, well, one side is the face of the dog, the other is the ass.
Yeah.
Fair.
They pretty much are the same.
And the important thing to realize is that Iran looks at both of them the same, too.
So, um, yeah, I say they wrote a Freudian slip.
It's like, oh, Israel, whatever, America, same thing.
Shit, man.
Okay, that's wild.
So, yeah, so, but that's that's uh additional confirmation if Reuters is confirming it.
Yeah, and I'll tell you guys the quote quote, and this comes from Reemer Novarum.
Uh, Iran fired warning shots at a U.S. warship, and Iranian source told routers.
Then it says, regional sources have also confirmed that Iran.
Did indeed fire warning shots to the warship.
And this came out about 45 minutes ago, right around the time we fired up the space.
Now in RT they were saying it was a destroyer Don't know I mean that's the claim if they tried to put a destroyer in the Strait of Hermos they're asking to get shot I mean that is just That and it's so funny like oh we're playing defense We're like let's see you put your warship in their water and you're on the defense huh?
It's not your straight like the straight was already open before you attacked them do not do not remember That thing was completely open, then you preemptively attacked during negotiations.
That's why it got closed.
And they told you how you could get it open.
Leave.
And then it's open.
Yeah, Ryan, the Gulf of Tonkin screams at me here.
You know, almost simultaneously to the Gulf of Tonkin was the USS Liberty.
It's the tale of two boats.
The one that wasn't shot at started a war where two million people got killed.
The one that actually was shot at that killed Americans resulted in us giving them billions of dollars and putting a gag order on the survivors.
That's LBJ.
Write a book.
I want a signed copy of that book, just like I want Suleiman's signed copy of October 7th, man.
Write a book on that one.
I wrote an article called The Tale of Two Ships on those two events, but it's not a book.
I've written some books.
You can get the other books.
I've got your Substack.
Yep.
I subscribed to you and Myron there.
I will check that out.
Is that on your Substack?
They're on Amazon.
One is Welcome to the USSA.
Get it?
And one is called The Separation of Business and State.
And it's just about how the government makes everything worse.
It's a great one.
Hey, by the way, did you remember, Ryan, when it was about three weeks ago, the U.S. did.
I don't know.
I imagine they were destroyers.
They sent two destroyers.
Towards the strait for a supposed mine clearing operation, according to them, a supposed mine clearing operation.
Remember that?
And Iran sent a few drones to turn them back as well, but they didn't need to fire warning shots at that point.
I don't know if that.
Like, why wouldn't you send minesweepers?
Like, why would you send a destroyer?
Can they do that?
I think you're just there threatening them with your big gunboats.
It's gunboat diplomacy, literally, as they did in Venezuela for Paul Singer.
Oh, yeah.
The British wrote the book on that.
But the, you know, the, yeah, exactly.
Like Japan has pretty much like the state of the art minesweepers.
They've got, from what I've heard, some of the best in the world.
So you would think that they would send Japanese ships if they're really serious about clearing mines.
So that's, again, kind of a tell.
Goes against Article 9.
They can't go that.
Oh, really?
Their constitution forbids it.
Yeah.
That's the argument they're having now.
I thought it just wasn't.
So, was this including?
Because I imagine for minesweepers, it technically isn't anything like it's not like a military engagement.
It's more so the aftermath.
They could clean up the mines if there wasn't a conflict, but there still is a conflict, especially with Lebanon and Israel.
So, when it's all done, they can do cleanup.
They did that in Syria, for example, but they cannot do that right now.
Not the ceasefire.
Okay.
CENTCOM is claiming that they sent guided missile destroyers through the strait.
And escorted two U.S. flag merchant vessels out.
That seems like propaganda.
There's no way they actually got destroyers through the Strait.
Oh, from CENTCOM?
Yeah.
Okay.
Sintcom is a cunt hair more reliable than Truth Social from Trump.
Yeah, you think it is the matter of proportionality here.
You think if they send two destroyers, only two ships are going to go there to fight them, but Iran sees this whole thing, the Strait of Hormuz, and their presence here as like the whole war.
So if you attack one ship over there, if you bring one troop over there, Then Iran is going to consider that an actual act of war, and there's not going to be proportionality in response to that.
So, saying that one American Navy ship, warship, whatever passed through the Strait of Hormuz or two or three, it's ludicrous.
It's either all of them with full force or none of them.
It's not going to happen like that.
So, when I see any type of news like that, I just move on because without confirmation, it's false.
It's ludicrous.
It's either all of them.
With full force, or none of them.
It's not going to happen like that.
So, when I see any type of news like that, I just move on because without confirmation, it's false.
It cannot be true.
Well, it could be a Gulf of Tonkin type situation, except that they can't just lie about it.
They're like poking the lion, poking the lion until it swats at them.
They go, ah, you started it.
And then that sits better than when they start the war and then it doesn't go well.
So, just on that, let me read the news.
On that, CENCOM claimed they have basically helped two US vessels transit the Strait of Ramus.
They said, US Navy guided missile destroyers are currently operating in the Arabian Gulf after transiting the Strait of Ramus in support of Project Freedom.
American forces are actively assisting efforts to restore transit for commercial shipping.
A first step two US flag merchant vessels.
Have successfully transited the Strait of Ramos and information of that either way as and when we receive it, but that's the claim right now.
So many details in that report, like the SS, what you know, and the what commercial ship, a U.S. flagship, okay, what's the name of it?
Like, nothing, right?
Oh, Ryan, that's a great point.
I immediately thought of that.
Seriously, if it was a real official PAO release, they would have names, yeah, great point, exactly.
And to add to what both of you are saying, if you remember, the um.
They've been claiming the US that they've apprehended 33 ships during their blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
And I looked into it, and like we've only got names of like about eight of them, other than the four that were boarded.
So there's a big like they just make claims without ever providing any names of ships, vessels, verification.
They're not headlines is enough.
Because they know the majority of people aren't going to hear this space.
You know, they're going to read that.
Oh, yeah.
Boomers on the couch type.
A U.S. flagship, too.
It said two of them.
Hey, guys, I put a poll on Kik and YouTube if you guys want me to recap kind of what's going on.
But I kind of want to wait for everybody to join in.
Then I kind of fill you guys in on what's going on.
Was it gas?
I'll be right back.
I'm going to take a quick piss, guys.
No details.
Yep, confirm every PAO, Public Affairs Official Officer Release, has the details.
It's required.
We had a PAO on every staff I've been on.
And they go into, they have to provide that for the release.
So, I guarantee you right now, if you were to go on Fox News, they'd be saying, reading the script.
But I, as an American, would, I believe, more what comes out of Iranian news outlets or RT than I do our own government, for sure.
Okay, Al Jazeera is also reporting this.
They haven't confirmed it, but they did say Iranian media says the U.S. Navy ship has been hit by two missiles.
Questioning CENTCOM Reliability00:12:58
So I think it's pretty safe to conclude that missiles were more than likely shot.
The real contention is were the ships actually hit?
That I think is the main question now, the million dollar question.
That is possible, but to me, it just makes more sense that they would do warning shots before they just shot them.
I agree.
Or at least they would have come out on the comms and said, turn around, we're going to fire on you.
Like there would be some warning before they just blew them up or tried to.
Yeah, that is what they did.
Once you've done it, why shoot two?
Why not 20?
Like keep going until you sink it.
Yeah, exactly.
And we saw no return fire from the U.S., meaning they probably got that warning shot and said, no, no, no, we're not going to proceed.
Oh, if they return fire, they're in huge trouble.
They're done, pretty much.
There's a reason why they've never tried the Persian Gulf yet, or they haven't tried so far in this conflict.
Exactly.
Oh, exactly.
And you will not see any P3s or the P, whatever the new advanced forward seat.
You won't see sonar buoys being dropped.
You won't see those.
It's the equivalent of the ASROC, where you drop it, it goes down like a submersible type of a harpoon, where it goes down to kill.
Submerged targets, it doesn't work.
It won't work.
And even those, quote, antiquated Kilo class diesel former Soviet Union submarines, they're freaking lethal.
They disappear.
Speaking from experience, they disappear.
So they even got those that are old, old, but they've refitted them, they've re engineered them with amazing technology.
But the weapons that they fire, those torpedoes, I'm not liberty to go into details about those.
The lethality of those, but the inevitable is laying it out.
Yeah, man, they can take it.
You want to go submerged?
They've got it.
You want to go surface?
They've got it.
You want to go air?
They've got it.
Yeah, it's again, I'm repeating it.
It's complete insanity what we're witnessing.
Whatever comes out of CENTCOM, just put it in the trash, peep, or you can just lay it on the side.
It's a little bit like Thermopylae.
Like that's the geographic problem they have.
I'm praying they got some of them CM320s.
That's what I hope Varane has.
Man, that's another great analogy, Ryan.
Thermopylae, right there, man.
Hell's Gate, right there.
I'm talking historically, not the movie 300, where they had it all backwards.
The Greeks had single jaggery, which I mean, it's a tight, tight little hole.
That's what that small force can withhold the thousands.
I know your point.
Absolutely.
Read the book.
We had a good show.
I had, we'll just call him Jaro, but it was a U.S. Naval officer.
Did you hear that one?
Yeah, I was talking about the way Native Americans use the landscape to defeat much larger U.S. armies.
And this is what Iran is doing.
They're using the geography, they're using the mountains, they're using the straight, like perfectly.
And the Americans don't have an answer.
And what's weird is they did war games.
And I thought they must have learned from these.
But I was listening with Scott Horton and Larry Johnson.
They're coming on later.
All right, guys.
Okay, let's get right into news.
Guys, welcome to the stream.
I'm going to jump back into space later.
Quick recap, guys.
Roughly two hours ago, there were reports that Iranian missiles hit a destroyer, a Navy destroyer.
CENTCOM basically, let me show you guys this tweet right here, because this is kind of interesting how they're going about this.
So, check this out.
So, IRGC Navy, not the IRGC, two completely different branches, said it fired two warning shots towards a U.S. ship and explicitly said it would not confirm whether any damage occurred.
They never claimed a direct hit.
However, CENTCOM denied the vessel was struck, which is technically a denial of a claim Iran never actually made.
Guys, I'm going to say that again because this is very important.
Iran's Navy stated it fired two warning shots at a U.S. ship and explicitly said it could not confirm whether any damage occurred.
They never claimed a direct hit.
CENTCOM says, We deny the vessel was struck, which is technically a denial of a claim Iran never actually made.
Neither side is saying the same thing, and neither side is being fully transparent.
Iran fired warning shots and left the damage question open.
The U.S. denied being struck without confirming or denying it came under fire at all.
Okay?
So, guys, give me a fucking W in the chat.
Follow my channel on fucking Kick.
You're not going to get streamers like this anywhere else, bro.
One of a kind, not to glaze myself, but the only thing I ask in return like the video, give some subs, support some ninjas in the chat.
I'm going to keep you guys updated.
I'll price down for like another hour or two.
Um,.
But let me shout you guys out.
Anatomy says, this old boomer never seen a baseline nine ship a second in his life.
Very antiquated.
I think he spelled it wrong.
I think he meant to say antiquated.
Jose Ramirez, just logged in for work.
Catching up now, dude.
Thank you for the news, man.
Got y'all, bro.
Ken Rose87, thank you.
Thanks for giving us up to date.
Appreciate you playing.
Got y'all, Ninjas, man.
Don't worry about it.
Cool.
So let's go ahead and just jump right on.
Oh, I'm going to respond to this fucking guy here, too.
So don't worry.
We're going to cook him.
Probably later.
Let's go ahead and just jump right on Al Jazeera, then Fox News after, because Al Jazeera has also reported this.
So let's see what's going on.
And then we'll jump back in with Ryan and the gang and Suleiman.
Scander missile into Kharkiv.
Okay, for all you guys that ask about Russia Ukraine, we'll watch a little bit of this.
Then they're probably going to go into the CENTCOM stuff.
It's a short range ballistic type missile, which means it is very difficult to intercept.
Also, guys, going to move over to Kik here pretty soon, so get ready to switch over, Ninjas.
Again, these.
Open up its after me on Kik.
This has become just an ongoing threat, an ongoing issue for Ukraine.
If you do, you're the man.
It's the question of how it can intercept these ballistic missiles.
And, Audrey, I mean, we have Volodymyr Zelensky.
He's in Armenia.
He's meeting with EU leaders.
You know, what's he hoping to get out of those talks?
And he's been making some quite extraordinary threats about the May Day, or should I say, Victory Day celebrations in Moscow as well.
This is the Ukrainian president's first trip to Armenia since he.
RPC Base, thank you so much.
Mighty Beast, thank you so much.
Thank you to Vinny Zam, AshKid1776, Mohammed for the five, Got2Go95, YoungMantis.
Shout out to all you guys, bro, for gifted sub.
Guys, we got some G's in here.
If you're a bro, you're watching on Kick, make sure to say, I put the fries in a bag, or I'm poor, or I'm a poor moron.
Let's switch it up.
I'm a poor moron.
Say that in the Kick chat.
Somebody might gift you a sub, okay?
It was elected in 2019.
It's the first visit from a Ukrainian leader in the past 24 years.
And what this summit aims to do is.
Holy, niggas already said I'm a poor moron.
Bruh.
When do we get somebody fucking.
Bro, like, what are y'all niggas, Massad or some shit?
Yep.
Over 40 leaders from around Europe, as well as this year from the Prime Minister Carney from Canada.
Man Guy, shout out to you, bro, helping out all these fucking Mordecai cheapskate brokies.
Shout out to you, man guy, does.
Together, and Zelensky actually arrived yesterday in our media, had several meetings with several European leaders.
And today, announced that he, after meeting with Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the European Commission, that they are working on infrastructure to support a drone deal between Ukraine and Europe.
Oh, shit.
That is really Zelensky.
Guys, breaking news Al Jazeera confirms two witnesses saw the strike on a Navy U.S. ship.
All right, it's looking more and more real by the day, chat.
Or, sorry, by the minute.
Set guys, my bad.
Barack Ravid, of course.
So, David, speaking of reporting, I'm gonna hot off the press five minutes ago.
I'm gonna let you sort through this one for all of us.
Barack Ravid, of course, with Axios is saying that a senior U.S. official denied that a U.S. ship has been hit by Iranian missiles.
RPC, thank you very much, man, for the gifted.
It is obviously we're the early moments of this, so.
I certainly am not placing any sort of moral equivalency between government of Iran and the U.S. government.
I will simply say we have two eyewitnesses saying that the ships were in fact hit.
Oh.
Oh, shit.
Wow.
Okay.
According to Al Jazeera.
First, we thought it was they launched.
Now it's looking like they were hit.
Zira, and we have one senior official right now on background telling Axios that no U.S. ship was hit.
So hard to say, and we will need to wait at least a few hours before we get actionable information out of that area.
Your thoughts on a U.S. official denying it to Axias and then other news agencies saying that, in fact, a ship has been hit, according to two eyewitnesses.
That's nuts, man.
Is Mario Live 2?
Let me look here.
Iran has expanded the blockade of the Strait of Homus to also include UAE's eastern ports of Khor, Fakan, and Fujairah.
Shout out to you, brother.
Good morning, man.
Thanks for all your hard work.
I got you, man.
I got you.
Tendum McLovin.
That's a crazy name.
Departing from these ports and attempting to head to the Gulf of Oman will be targeted if they do not obtain permission from Iran.
So, is that in response to this Operation Freedom?
I think it's in response to the fact.
Fact that the United States will be marshalling these ships.
Bro yo, what
the fuck is going on, bro.
Yo, like, this.
Van Jones and Justice Reform00:07:49
Let me read this True Social post for y'all real quick, bro.
This is fucking crazy.
Donald Trump on True Social.
When a devastated parenthesis, he was crying like a baby.
Van Jones of CNN came to me with a group of African American leaders he had dead in getting criminal justice reform approved in Congress.
Van Jones and these black reps.
Had been unsuccessfully finding to get reformed for many years.
He was just wasting everyone's time.
Needed five conservative senators.
There was no chance or even hope for a win.
I liked some of the people he was with, agreed with them that they were saying and quickly rounded up the votes needed to get criminal justice reform approved.
It was not easy.
Nobody else, including Obama, nobody else, including Obama, Barack Hussein, Obama, who tried for years.
Could have done this.
Now I watch this guy, Van Jones, every chance he gets, calling me a dictator and far worse.
He should be ashamed of himself.
President DJT.
Yo, this nigga's up in the morning writing tweets, flaming a CNN broadcaster when there's breaking news that Navy ships got struck.
Yo, let that sink in, chat.
That's why I had to fucking let y'all look at that for yourselves.
Bro, you're in the middle of a fucking war, dude.
Okay?
Brent's sitting at $110, bro.
Are you serious?
This nigga's making fun of some fucking bitch ass Joe Biden supporter from saying that.
Like, yo, I thought you were the commander in chief, you know, not the commander and cook.
Like, bro, do your job, you know?
Like, nigga, wait till, you know, 2028, then just go after everybody.
You know, like, yo, you know what makes this even funnier?
How much y'all want to bet, okay?
Everybody knows Trump writes his own fucking tweets for the most part.
How much do you want to bet that this is what went down when he fucking put this shit, right?
I could just imagine it.
Bro is sitting in like the fucking war room, right?
Highly classified.
No one can bring their phone in.
He's in there with like Rubio, Hegseth, Vance, Kane, all the fucking top government officials, right?
Meanwhile, while they're talking about, well, Mr. President, you know, I think, you know, the probability of them hitting us, there's no way.
I think it's a lot of propaganda, but if they did, we have this plan here.
We have this plan here.
You know, how would you like to proceed?
Bro, this nigga's our true social.
Fuck Van Jones.
Bro, how are you in a classified room with a phone you smuggled in talking shit about some bald nigga from CNN?
Like, what?
Bro brought in a phone to a classified meeting, niggas looking at him crazy, like, what's going on?
Oh, he's typing on True Social?
Oh, no big deal.
He must be just letting the American public know that everyone's safe.
No!
Dude's on there making fun of Van Jones for crying, dude.
And you know for a fact it took him a while to type this fucking thing up.
Bro, Trump has the most horrendous style of writing ever.
It irks me when I read his shit because all he does is like fucking have run on sentences.
And for some odd reason, he likes to capitalize random words, right?
Could you imagine?
This nigga's over here hitting capital A African.
Space, capital A, American.
Bro, this nigga spending at least 10 minutes to type this fucking shit up.
Bro, ain't no way, man.
Yo!
Yo!
You're in the middle of a fucking energy crisis, bro.
Your polls are at 33% approval ready, man.
Some fucking crazy California nigga tried to assassinate you two weeks ago.
Like, bro, wake up.
Like, damn, put the phone down, okay?
Be serious for once.
Don't forget, chat, this nigga wrote a whole paragraph against Bruce Springsteen.
Bumba cut.
Yo, okay, okay.
I got to show y'all niggas this shit, bro.
I don't know why it's so much funnier to me because I guess maybe I have like an imagination, but let me show y'all niggas our president real quick, okay?
He's like the greatest, worst president ever.
Okay.
Hold on.
This dude Trump, truth, social, Bruce Springsteen.
Where is the fucking Here we go.
Bad and very boring singer Bruce Springsteen, who looks like a dried up prune, who has suffered greatly from the work of a really bad plastic surgeon, has long had a horrible and incurable case of Donald Trump syndrome, sometimes referred to as TDS.
The guy is a total loser who spews hate against the president who won a landslide election and 86% of the counties across America.
Under Sleepy Joe and the Dems.
Our country was dead.
And now we have the hottest country by far anywhere in the world.
MAGA should boycott his overpriced concerts, which suck.
Save your hard earned money.
America is back.
President D.J. Trump.
Mind you, mind you, he wrote this war on April 2nd, bro.
Okay?
Like, I don't even remember if we had a ceasefire at this point.
Look, I know if Bruce Springsteen sucks too.
But, bro, do your job.
How's Pete Hegseth more focused than you, man?
Pete Hegseth ain't on fucking truth and Twitter saying, yo, fuck the ops, man.
That bitch lying.
I never did any of that.
Meanwhile, this guy, oh, you got a problem?
Your music sucks.
Oh, you got a problem?
You cried on CNN.
All right, man.
Yo, enjoy it while we care, guys.
Bro, enjoy it while we care.
This thing is like.
Trump is a different fucking type of breed.
This dude has the highest level of not give a fucks I've ever seen in my lifetime.
Bro is literally the king of not giving a fuck.
The flooding risks wiping out a good harvest season and deepening an already fragile ability to recover.
Fragile Ability Amidst Chaos00:01:23
Given the scarce resources.
And while national officials say they're mobilizing emergency teams, many farmers fear that when the water recedes, financial support will also dry up.
Lou Brown, Al Jazeera.
All right, guys, let's switch on over to Kick.
I'm going to drop the link for you, real quick.
Get ready to switch over, guys.
We're moving over to Kit.
Gave you almost an hour and a half on YouTube, the worst platform ever.
Come on over, ninjas.
Ending the YouTube stream here in a second.
Venezuelan migrants gathered in the Chilean capital, Santiago, to demand the release of political prisoners back home.
Bro, a Jeep with a fucking accent like this is crazy.
Thank you.
Come again.
Protesters denounced what they described as repression.
The protests spanned 120 cities.
Amnesty International says at least 485 individuals are being detained in Venezuela for political reasons.
While acting President Delcy Rodriguez towards the country speaking about reconciliation, security forces torture civilians and members of the military in dungeon like detention centers in Venezuela.
From here in Santiago, Chile, civilians organized.
