Human Events Saturday Special: US Strikes Iran
Jack Posobiec reports on the February 28, 2026 U.S.-led strikes against Iran’s military intelligence and IRGC facilities, using aircraft carriers Ford and Lincoln, Tomahawk missiles, F-35s, and Israeli commando/suicide drones—marking the first kamikaze drone deployment. President Trump’s regime-change push faces constitutional scrutiny from Rubio, Johnson, and Thune amid protests in Times Square (100 attendees) and Riyadh explosions, while Saudi Arabia and regional allies cautiously welcome the move. Posobiec warns of potential Iranian retaliation, including Strait of Hormuz disruptions, and speculates on China’s IRGC backing, framing this as a broader Sunni-Shia conflict with global economic stakes.

I wanted to let you know that we're starting a new push for subscriptions here on Human Events Daily.
So make sure that when you're listening to this podcast, you hit subscribe, you download it, and you share it with five of your friends.
Make sure they're all going and downloading as well because we need to get the signal out as much as possible.
Look, we've done so much over the past couple of years since this show started, and we're only going to do so much more.
Let's get it.
We are in a fifth generational conflict.
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posovic.
Deliver us from evil.
All right, folks, Jack Pisovic, we're here live, special edition of Human Events Daily here on Real America's Voice.
Today is February 28th, 2026.
Anno Domini.
And as Human Events has been telling you all week, that it is like, we told you that it was likely that strikes were to come here this weekend on Iran.
President Trump ultimately did make the determination.
He pulled the trigger on that.
We are being told, Human Events is being told to expect potentially a four-week bombing campaign of Iran, four-week bombing campaign.
And this essentially will come with strikes early this morning, then a pause to assess for battle damage assessment, then moving forward to continue with those strikes, to continue with the operation.
President Trump releasing a statement earlier this morning talking about full-on regime change, committed to that, wanting to see the people of Iran rise up, and then using the air assets, the military assets, the naval assets of the United States military to provide that umbrella for the Iranian people.
That's what President Trump's message is.
The reporting we have at Human Events, a four-week bombing campaign and potential other operations along with Israeli partner force there in Iran, which could include as many commando strikes, which could include suicide strikes, suicide drones.
We know the United States military consent comm has confirmed that for the first time, the United States has used those one-way attack drones, also known as kamikaze drones.
I want to go now to Real America's Voice, White House correspondent Neil McCabe, who is live at the White House.
Neil.
Hey, Jack, good to see you, man.
Good to see you.
Neil, what's the latest that you're hearing from the White House?
Are we expected to hear the president speak again?
Well, there was talk, Jack, that the president would make a second address to the nation, but this morning the White House comms office put out that that would not happen.
Caroline Levitt, roughly two or three hours ago, put out a post where she said that the president was in full communication with Netanyahu and Rubio and that he was monitoring the situation here at Mar-a-Lago.
It's also interesting that Speaker Mike Johnson and Republican Majority Leader John Thune in the Senate have both put out statements really speaking to any kind of constitutional concerns that this was done without consulting Congress or having Congress involved.
And so I'm sure it's not the full measure of cooperation that Thomas Massey or Democrats want, but certainly with those two guys stepping up today with those statements, that's going to give the president some constitutional air cover to continue with the mission, Jack.
And so, Neil, when we look at that, we did, of course, hear that the Gang of Eight was briefed.
That's the Republicans, that's the Democrats from the Intel committees, the Zenier leadership.
We were hearing that the Democrat, House, and Senate leaders were also briefed early on.
So, rather than a full briefing from Congress, what are you hearing from the White House right there?
Is there much activity, or has much of it been moved down to Mar-a-Lago?
Everything's moved down to Mar-a-Lago, Jack.
And of course, the president has a skiff there.
And Secretary of War, Hegseth, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Raising Kane, General Kane, they're down there with the national security staff at Mar-a-Lago.
And it really fits the same pattern as the strikes against Venezuela with the president being far more comfortable at Mar-a-Lago than here at the White House.
In the first term, there were strikes against Iran and other places, but they were all, you know, most of them were directed from here, some from Mar-a-Lago.
But I think there's a pattern emerging where the president is going to leave the White House, and that's almost the signal that something's going to happen, Jack.
Neil, we're also being told from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security that security precautions are being raised at multiple areas around the United States, airports, key infrastructure.
Are you seeing those levels of security implements be increased at the White House in your time there?
Yeah, certainly.
There are gates that are sort of left open where you can walk in and then sort of show your badge to the Secret Service officer.
Those gates are closed.
You now have to get a positive entry from the Secret Service.
And then you're also seeing increased patrols.
You're seeing helicopters fly around DC.
And so I wouldn't say that it's a full-blown alert, but certainly is heightened.
And you're seeing a lot more personnel around the White House.
You're seeing a lot more police presence around the White House and Capitol Hill today, Jack.
Well, that's certainly in line with what we're hearing.
And then just last minute before we go to break, Neil, anything else from your sources on what else we could expect to see today or this weekend?
Well, I think what we're going to see is that continuation of their initial checklist of targeting.
And so I think that this it's clear that this is modeled after Rough Rider, which was the attack on the Houthis that ran from March to May last year, where they attacked more than 100 different targets.
But it was all done over the course of a month.
And so there was just like you said, there was the attack, there was the assessment, the attack, the assessment.
And I think it's going to be very methodical.
I did hear that the Houthis are ginning up, perhaps making some attacks, but we do have assets in the Red Sea.
And certainly Gerald R. Ford, where it's sort of stationed, is there as sort of the defensive shield against any kind of attacks on U.S. allies or assets in the area, Jack.
Well, that's right.
The Ford can launch operations against the Houthis.
They can launch operations within the region.
Neil McCabe there at the White House.
Thank you very much, Neil.
We're going to quick break here.
Real America's Voice, special coverage, Human Events Daily.
We'll be right back.
And Jack, where is Jack?
Where is Jack?
Where is he?
Jack, I want to see you.
Great job, Jack.
Thank you.
What a job you do.
You know, we have an incredible thing.
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys who'd be getting policies.
All right, folks, we're back.
Jack Pesobic here, special edition of Human Events relive on Real America's voice.
And folks, we've seen President Trump authorize these strikes now in conjunction with the partner force in Israel to effectuate what President Trump has called for regime change in Iran.
And I think it remains to be seen.
It remains to be seen how this will shake out.
Regime change in this region has a very mixed background.
And we here on this program have told you for months about how regime change wars, even in Iran, as well as looking at Iraq, Libya, Syria, other parts of the Middle East, do not always go as planned.
The CIA now coming out with an assessment saying that even the CIA believes that the most likely scenario in a regime change scenario, if Ayatollah Khomeini is killed, that an IRGC hardliner or a hardline force could take over in a religious military junta of the entire Islamic Republic.
And if that takes place, could that IRGC republic become even more aggressive than Iran is currently?
Could they become more of a threat to peace and stability in the region than we see currently?
This all remains to be seen.
This all remains to play out.
Again, our reporting on this is a four-week bombing campaign is in the cards.
That's what the United States Navy is over there doing with the two aircraft carriers, the Ford and the Lincoln.
This also, of course, risks political ramifications for the coalition.
And look, Charlie Kirk said it himself over and over and over.
The Gen Z, the under 40 crowd, is not interested in more war.
They are not interested in this aggressive foreign policy.
They want to see the domestic wins.
They want to see arrests on Epstein.
They want to see mass deportations.
They want to see economic relief.
That is their calling card and watchword as we go into the 2026 midterms here in the United States, just a few months away.
Now, that being said, President Trump understands this.
President Trump understands, of course, the necessity to make these rulings for the United States military.
That's his call.
That's his play.
That's what he's decided for.
And certainly we here in the United States pray for all members of the United States military.
The sailors, the soldiers, the airmen, the Marines that are there in harm's way, boots on the ground, at least in terms of the bases that they're at, boots at sea in terms of the troops that are 5,000 troops per each aircraft carry, all right?
That's 5,000 American boys and girls that are right now in harm's way within range, mind you, within range of every single missile, drone, and asset within the Iranian military.
Every single one.
And we know we've already seen these hits in Bahrain that have taken place.
That's why the Fifth Fleet, we reported a couple of days ago.
A lot of people missed this.
Human Events pointed out that this was a huge development that the entire Fifth Fleet of the United States Navy pulled out of Bahrain and departed and dispersed in terms of new defensive posture.
We also reported on that the diplomats were leaving in droves of so many of these areas in preparation for a likely strike.
What happened in Bahrain?
Well, we told you what would happen, that a strike would take place.
And it did look like it was one of those Iranian drones that made it in and struck either a radar, communications array that is there on the ground.
We're also getting reports in that there have been strikes in Dubai.
Dubai, of course, one of the major cities of the Gulf there on the Sunni-Arab side of the Gulf, as opposed to the Shia-Persian side of the Gulf, which is Iran.
This has always been the major fulcrum of the Middle East, right?
The Sunnis versus the Shia, the Arabs versus the Persians.
So when you look at the GCC countries, the Gulf Cooperation Council, whether it be Bahrain, Qatar, whether it be the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, of course, these are the country Jordan and others.
These, of course, are the countries that are aligned more with the U.S., but definitely against Iran.
Israel, of course, siding with those countries against Iran.
So look for this play all to come out.
And I don't know, guys, if we have a map of the Persian Gulf that we could throw up right now, but all eyes right now, and I say this as a Navy intelligence officer and certainly someone who's been studying this situation, all eyes are on the strait, the Strait of Hormuz.
This is where so much of the world's oil supply comes for.
It all flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
This is the mouth of the Persian Gulf.
And if Iran is willing and able to conduct a mining operation to close those straits, or even if they send out freighters with barrels that they can throw out to appear like they've closed the Strait of Hormuz, this is going to royal the oil markets all around the world.
It is going to send the price of the oil spiking.
You're going to see that potentially tomorrow, potentially Monday.
I'm glad I filled up yesterday.
What can I say in terms of that?
But this is going to be a major development for world oil markets.
President Trump, of course, understanding, right, there we go.
That's the Persian Gulf.
And you can see from the North Arabian, the northern Persian Gulf or the North Arabian Gulf, as we would say in the Intel community down there to the southeastern corner.
That is the Strait of Hormuz.
And so you're looking at that area, a key naval choke point within the entire maritime world so much.
And not only is that oil and liquid natural gas that would head towards Europe, but also to China, China being the number one recipient of Iranian oil.
So China could come to play here in any of these situations.
I was up on the Charlie Kirk stream earlier with the Charlie Kirk crew and we were talking about this, how China could come in and back the IRGC the same way that China came in and backed the Taliban in the Afghanistan government collapse situation.
And we've seen China do this just a few years ago because China, of course, understands that those oil flows are absolutely mission critical for China.
So this risks, this absolutely risks a wider regional war, a wider regional conflict.
I do expect that you'll see from the Russians and from the Chinese, you're going to hear statements from them trying to contain the situation, trying to find off-ramps in the situation.
But of course, President Trump, Israel moving in on this.
We're also, by the way, and I'll just throw this out.
Civil War Concerns00:02:29
We just don't know.
There's so many things that we just don't know yet in terms of which leadership have been taken out, whether the Ayatollah has been taken out, the IRGC leadership, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The way they work within Iran is that they are a secondary military within the Persian state, within the Islamic Republic.
What the IRGC is, is separate from the Iranian military, Iranian Navy.
That's the regular forces.
The IRGC does not exist to protect the people of Iran.
The IRGC exists to protect the revolution.
They are loyal directly to the mullahs.
They are loyal directly to the Ayatollah.
Their job is protection of the regime.
And so the IRGC is going to be more than willing to do anything within their power to continue the regime, even if the Ayatollah is taken out.
And so that's the basic structure there.
Again, we don't know or in the fog of war whether or not the status of the Ayatollah, and I know there's been a lot of rumors flying around, has he been taken out?
Has he been, is he not breathing, et cetera, et cetera.
You have to take all of that with a grain of salt going into one of these situations because we just don't know exactly what his status is.
So as they always say, in war, truth is always the first casualty.
And I'll echo my comments from earlier that in a regime change situation, in a regime change scenario, no one knows what will come next.
CIA puts their most likely assessment that the IRGC will take over.
I would back that assessment.
I've said that before many, many times.
But we also don't know if this could completely devolve into a civil war.
You've got these opposition groups, the IRNI, the MEK, you've got the Kurds, you've got a variety of other groups that could come to play in a regime collapse scenario.
So that could turn into a quagmire with a civil war with no clear leader able to take over all of Iran.
This leads to serious questions as to what would happen to any of these stockpiles of weapons or any of the ability of any new regime to be able to exercise complete control.
There's separatists in Balochistan, for example, towards the south, which is actually closer to the Strait of Hormuz and other alongside along the border with Pakistan.
So there's many other options and many other scenarios that could be extremely dangerous, not just for the region, but for the United States and all of our assets within that region.
Serious Questions Loom00:07:20
And so when we look to this, I'll bring up again, Charlie Kirk.
And we've seen a lot of Charlie Kirk's old tweets and videos.
I've certainly posted some up there where people have been talking how Charlie was against a prolonged regime change boots on the ground war in Iran.
That is the right call.
Because again, the United States, the people of the United States, by and large, particularly when it comes to Gen Z, want to see the focus here at home.
They want to see the domestic wins.
They don't want to see more wars that they are not sure whether or not those wars are of any direct interest to the United States.
That's particularly the under 40, under 50 crowd.
And so we heard that video, that pre-taped video from President Trump that was released very early this morning.
And I would love to hear from the president.
The American people want to hear from President Trump.
They want to hear it from him, not from a commander, not from a staffer, not from an official.
They want to hear from the man that they saw at the State of the Union just a few nights ago who gave a command performance and a tour to force at the State of the Union.
There was a brief mention of Iran during that State of the Union, but was that enough?
People want to hear, Mr. President.
They want to hear from you.
They want to hear your thought process and they want to know what is happening and what is going to come next.
Are we facing a four-week bombing campaign?
We'll have more and all the updates around the Bend.
Human Events Daily continues.
You know, they talk about influencers.
These are influencers.
And they're friends of mine.
Jack Krusvik.
Where's Jack?
Jack.
He's got a great job.
All right, folks, Jack Kosevic, we're back live here.
Human Events Daily.
Special coverage continues.
U.S. military conducting strikes within Iran.
Expect up to a four-week bombing campaign.
And of course, the way that this is going to play out is this.
We're going to see strikes and then we're going to see pauses, strikes, and then pauses.
So we'll see this.
And again, this is based on our reporting from our discussions within Washington, D.C. at Human Events.
Expect to see a strike, then a pause, wait for the retaliation from the Iranians, see what happens in terms of that.
while currently assessing what the battle damage was done, what capabilities were taken out, what is the current status, are people, are protesters rising up?
Are they taking to the streets?
And there's serious questions as to whether protesters will do that after there was such a crackdown last time when the Iranian protesters came out where, you know, the exact number I would say is not fixed.
That's there's been a range of numbers in terms of the crackdown, what happened to the protesters.
But I think it's pretty clear to see that Iran, and again, that was the IRGC, because as we told you, the IRGC exists to do what?
To protect the regime, do not to protect the American people.
And so when you see these bombing campaigns designed to keep the pro to give the protesters optimism, to give the protesters a chance, as President Trump says, keep in mind that the response is still the IRGC and their forces loyal to the Ayatollah, loyal to the regime.
Will we see more crackdowns, Tiananmen Square-style crackdowns on the protesters?
Will they be able to get out to mass in force?
And would that lead to a potential regime change scenario?
And of course, we are waiting for more intelligence as it comes in.
Also, we're told that there is actually a protest going on already in New York City.
Guys, do we have the ability to go to the protest?
Are we up there?
So we're okay.
So we're going to work on this.
We're being told that there is actually at this time a protest that has already kicked off in New York City and that we have through Real America's Voice, that we've got some assets on the ground there, that we've got reporters that are going in to see what's going on.
I'd love to see who exactly is out there.
What are they saying?
What are the protests?
Zorhan Mamdani, real questions as to what Zora Mundami is going to say, what's going on.
We're also hearing there's a protest going on at the White House.
And so I'm starting to see some video that's trickling.
There we go.
That's video.
Guys, is this the video?
Is that, I can't tell.
Is that the White House or is that New York City?
I'm guessing White House because obviously you can't, it was New York, you'd see more, more buildings, right?
So that's the protest at the White House right now.
And so, and so we're seeing that there.
And do we have a reporter who can come on at all?
Or are we just getting camera shot?
You see this, you see the protesters.
You see the truck that's, again, very close to the White House.
We also, Neil McCabe, of course, just gave us the reporting that we are seeing those enhanced security measures around the White House, but at the same time, still areas for protest, still areas for these people to come in and to conduct these protests.
Palestinian flags up that we're seeing.
A lot of handmade signs.
You know, you're not seeing those, the ubiquitous or George Soros style mass signs that are there.
There seems to be one printed sign, no bombs on Iran.
So that, of course, has already come to pass, that we already have bombed Iran.
That has definitely happened, as John McCain loved to sing back in 2008 when he ran for president and lost to Barack Obama.
I want to get in now.
Tom Sauer, who was on earlier this week on Human Events, he and I were walking us through everything that would be likely to see, that we would be likely to see in the event of a regime change scenario in the event of these strikes.
He joins us now by phone, Tom Sauer, veteran Navy officer, Navy EOD tech.
Tom, how are you?
I'm doing good, buddy.
I'm actually on the National Mall right now.
My family, I've got my parents who flew into town and we're being tourists on the mall.
And it's interesting that you called when you did, when you wanted me to give you guys a shout out.
I'm actually in front of the Vietnam War Memorial right now.
And I'm thinking about these other regime chain wars where we got bogged down.
And then we can always think about Iraq and Afghanistan and the horrible loss of life there, of American life.
And one thing that I think is such a breath of fresh air is we're so much smarter about it now.
Instead, it's like we are going to take care and neutralize the threat that the Iranians impose on their own people and also generally on the region, stopping them from getting a nuclear weapon, but also we're doing so with very little on the ground, with very little troops on the ground.
Well, Tom, let's get, and that certainly does seem to be what we're hearing as well in terms of our reporting.
Four-week bombing campaign, no boots on the ground.
Tom, when it comes to the assessments that you and I were making earlier this week, how well do you think those held up in terms of what we were looking at?
So far, I think they're holding up quite nicely.
I think they really are.
I mean, right now, I think what we talked about was taking out their air defenses and then after that, removing and all offensive capability they have.
Obviously, there have been some drones that we've been seeing that have hit Bahrain, mild stomping grounds, and I've seen them out in Dubai.
I think they went to Jordan.
And there's some that have gone to Israel, but they are relatively few and far between, which is pretty much exactly what we spoke about what would happen.
President Trump's Global Flex00:10:51
So I like to say that as they say on the internet, the tweet aged well.
Well, that's right.
And Tom, you know, we were looking at the capabilities that were there.
We talked about the electronic warfare package that the F-22 is designed for, how it was really designed for suppression of any air defense to allow those Tomahawk land attack missiles, the T-Lams to be able to go in and do what they do.
And again, we're still waiting on BDA, that battle damage assessment, as to really determine what exactly are the capabilities, what is the status, what is the capacity of these targets, just like any strike would be as we would occur, incur in the military.
Yeah, no, absolutely right.
I mean, that's kind of the way it works.
You know, a lot of the things that we spoke about was not because we're privy to some inside knowledge or anything like that, but it's just that folks like you and I, you know, we've got a little bit of experience with how these things work.
And so far, it seems to be correct.
And also, it's my understanding, I know it might be unconfirmed, but apparently Khomeini was taken out.
That's what it sounds like.
Is that looking at my photos?
I'm hearing things, but I'm waiting until we get official confirmation on that.
Quick break here, human events daily.
Right back, special coverage.
Stop buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.
I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Pozobic.
All right, folks, Jack Pesobic, we're back here.
Human events daily.
We're getting all of the information that's coming out, the real-time information, protests in Times Square, now officially beginning.
We're getting some great reporting.
Breca Stahl from Daily Wire is there now.
She's reporting on the protests that are taking place.
We've also got the camera up there at the White House.
We were showing you exclusive footage of those situations.
Again, so Netanyahu coming out and on his stream, his video that he just put out, he was saying that there are signs that the Ayatollah has been killed.
Again, so he's not even coming out and confirming that completely, just saying there are signs based, I'm sure, on Israeli intelligence.
Again, more video here of those protests outside of the White House.
And at the same time, we're also seeing that this assessment from the CIA that the most likely course of action is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the hardliners there, taking over the country directly if the Ayatollah was in fact killed.
And I'll just say, you know, guys, from my perspective, that when you have a scenario like that, if the United States comes in and kills the Ayatollah, yes, you will find some people who in the opposition, it will push them.
The opposition will certainly be emboldened, but at the same time, assassinating the world leader, you're absolutely going to see the supporters of the regime galvanized and emboldened as well.
So it cuts both ways.
It certainly cuts both ways.
Guys, I'm told that we have Javier Negre live from Times Square.
Is that correct?
Javier, do we have you?
How are you?
Jack, I'm here because some protesters have been called at 2 p.m., but you can see like just tourists and people dancing, but nobody's here.
So the leftists, I don't know where they are.
Maybe the globalists are not paying them anymore.
Yeah, I've seen, I'm not sure exactly where they are, that the Daily Wire has a reporter that they're in one section of Times Square.
Looks like down from where you are by the NASDAQ building, by Starbucks.
If you go down to the, where is this?
I'm just trying to look at their video.
They're down by Paramount building.
The Taco Bell is in the background.
So it looks like they're in one area of Times Square.
But you really look at some of these videos that are coming out.
Javier, in terms of that, you're actually quite familiar with this region, with the Middle East.
What do you think we can expect to see in terms of a response from the other countries, the other countries in the region to these strikes?
I think that the attack of Israel and the United States is justified because the regime is very harmful for the region.
I'm talking with the Bahrain government.
I'm talking with the people from Dubai and they are really happy with the movement of Trump and with Israel because this regime, the regime of the Ayatollah, has been paying a lot of money, funding like the tourism international, making all the anti-Semitism campaigns.
So people is really happy, except the president of my country, Spain, which he's very friendly with the Ajatolla Gemini.
So we are really upset in Spain.
We have a prime minister that he's helping the terrorism international.
So I think that President Trump, Israel and Qatar and Dubai and all these governments like Bahrain, they are in the correct way because Iran wants to kill innocent people and Israel and the United States wants to kill Odechi's military.
So I'm happy that we have the President Trump making peace worldwide.
I think they are in the correct way.
I'm praying for all these people that are in Dubai, in Bahrain, like having missiles from the Iran regime.
But here in New York, I have been walking and talking to the people and people is really calmed down.
You have some reporters like telling that Iran has like some missile or some weapon like pointed out in New York.
But people really calm.
I think that they get used to having this kind of express things.
If this happened in Spain, it will be the situation completely different.
But I'm happy that the United States making peace everywhere.
And, you know, I'd love to hear this for more.
Again, we're hearing some of these reports regarding the status of the Ayatollah.
And of course, by the way, the Ayatollah has not come out publicly yet.
We've not seen anything from Iranian media regarding that.
No videos.
Nothing's been released.
Again, of course, we're waiting for a full confirmation.
Javier, do you believe we could see the possibility of other Arab militaries potentially getting involved, joining in the fight here?
Do you think we'll see anything like that?
We know they have ample air assets as well.
The Jordanians, the Saudis.
Do you think that any of those militaries will get involved here?
I think that the Saudi government has just said that they are going to support the United States, that they're going to support the Israeli.
You have to know that Israel and Qatar, they are enemies normally, but now they are in the same war against Iran.
So it's very important that if this war brings peace in this region, which is so beautiful, and maybe Israel and Qatar, they became friends.
And it's going to be amazing, of course, for the MAGA movement that, you know, that is completely divided between support of Israel and supporter of Qatar.
But I think that Saudi can defend the United States and Israel against Iran.
And I think that Russia is not going to do anything.
They don't have like the support of Venezuela.
They don't have right now the support of Cuba.
And this spray, this attack against Iran is very important for the international terrorists because after Venezuela, after Iran, they don't have funds to pay the international tourism.
So Alex Soros, Girozoro, all these globalists, maybe, maybe right now they are not happy with this movement of Trump.
But I'm happy like the Spanish community, like President Trump is making peace everywhere.
I mean, New York, you know, people is really calm.
And I have been talking with different citizens, and they are okay with the attack to Iran.
I'm going into the protest right now to see how many people there are, but I don't think they are going to have a lot of people up there.
Well, I'd certainly like to see that as well.
And, you know, I'll just ask, you know, as we see President Trump flexing the military muscle, not only in the Middle East, but we saw originally in Venezuela, one of the other countries that we know is on this list is Cuba.
What are you hearing about potential U.S. operations or U.S. moves in Cuba?
We know that Marco Rubio has been in discussion with Castro's grandson, other members of the regime there in Cuba.
Do you think that we could potentially look, we saw Caracas, we're seeing Tehran.
Could Havana be next?
I have talked to the Department of State, I've talked to different sources, some of these sources, they told me that the solution for Cuba is going to be before midterm.
So they have a plan.
They try to make a deal with the Cuban regime, with Elegant.
But now the strategy of Trump is very nice and very intelligent strategy.
It's like Maduro, they have him, you know, they told him, hey, you have like two months to get out the power.
And if the Cuba, they don't follow the steps of Maduro.
I am pretty sure that Trump is going to take control on Cuba.
And he said yesterday, that he has a solution and he's going to take control into Cuba.
So all my friends from Cuba, they're really happy with the U.S. government.
And I think that before midterms, we are going to have a solution for Cuba because my friends in Cuba, they are having a lot of problems.
They don't have electricity.
They don't have food.
They don't have energy.
They don't have news.
And I think that all the Cubans that live in the United States, they are going to support President Trump because he's going to give a solution with Marco Rubio in Cuba and without using the force.
It's very strange what happened the other day with the Cuban regime attacking, killing Americans.
We have to check it out, what's going on up there because I don't believe in the version of the propaganda of these guys of Cuban.
You don't have to release any lie of these guys.
But we will see.
I'm very happy.
We have a President Trump that is making peace everywhere.
South America, Cuba, Venezuela, and all the Venetians are really happy with Trump.
And now after the ICE operation, Trump, President Trump is explaining better the homeland security operation, telling the Hispanic community that he's deporting criminals, not legal people.
So I feel that the Hispanic community right now with President Trump, after these movements, is feeling better with the Republicans.
Shaping Operations: Larger Strikes Likely00:03:28
Well, certainly we will see.
Javier, where can people go to follow you and get all the updates to what you're reporting?
Thank you very much for your award.
Jack Praser guy with photo views.
Bye-bye.
Thank you very much, Javier.
So he is reporting live from Times Square.
He's going to head over to the protest right now.
We're going to work on seeing if we can get someone up directly from that protest.
Just a couple, you know, a couple pieces.
Explosions just heard in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.
Sirens sounding in Kuwait, the head of Iran's military intelligence and many top agency leaders killed in airstrikes, according to a senior Western security force, the CENTCOM, now releasing video footage of operations.
I want to see if we can get that footage up.
We join you next here, Human Events Daily Special Coverage.
Working long hours.
I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.
All right, folks, Jack Posobiec, we're back live here.
Human events daily special coverage on this Saturday.
President Trump authorizing green lighting and conducting airstrikes within the Islamic Republic of Iran.
I'm told that we have footage now from United States Central Command, CENTCOM.
That's the Middle Eastern Theater Command.
You're seeing from these strikes, that's the Tomahawks taking off from destroyers there, Tomahawk land attack, F-35s taking off from the aircraft carriers, seeing other F-18s taking off now, F-A-18s taking off to conduct strikes.
And these are videos of the strikes themselves.
Iranian drones being hit, Iranian air defense, Iranian bases, IRGC implements, early warning radars being hit, air defense right there.
So mobile air defense being hit by the United States, possible shaping operations for larger strikes to come.
And again, our reporting is four weeks of strikes to come that we'll continue to see.
Tom Sauer here is calling in live from the National Mall.
Wanted to get him on just to get his thoughts.
Tom, you know, we're seeing this.
It's lining up.
Do you think, as many are now assessing, that this could just be shaping operations for further, even larger strikes by the United States military?
I absolutely think that is, Jack.
This is exactly what we said, the shaping operations.
Like what we spoke about last week is I would say that you're going to see these strikes happening probably for the next few days.
And then assuming that assuming they don't fight back, assuming there's no significant retaliation, or there is any significant retaliation, you're probably going to see massive bombing campaigns.
You get to see the meme of the B-2 stealth bomber saying, feed me Tehran.
I think we're going to see that.
But the entire purpose of it is to get to the point where the United States military, mostly the Navy and Air Force, can operate over Iran with impunity or relative impunity.
Once you have that and you have complete and total air supremacy, then the Iranian regime and its military are pretty much going to be at our mercy.
And I think you're absolutely right.
You're going to be seeing shaping operations.
And it is really interesting and very surprising to see.
Matter of fact, I just saw a couple of protest cars drive past me here by the Vietnam and Lincoln Memorials here.
Protest Cars at Memorials00:06:36
And I know there's a protest going on at the White House.
Well, that's right.
And Tom, we're actually going to go live.
We're actually going to cut live now because we do have someone on the ground at the protest in New York City.
Tom, everyone, give everyone your coordinates real quick.
Yeah, I'm at the Vietnam Memorial.
But you find me on Twitter at Social Media.
Social Media Court.
Thomas P. Sauer.
Thank you so much, Tom.
All right, guys.
Just a couple of minutes left.
Just a couple of minutes left here.
To cut into.
We've got Breca Stahl from the Daily WIRE, who's live in Times Square at the protest.
Brecca, how are you, Jack?
I'm great, how are you?
I'm doing well?
And of course, we followed your coverage of Minneapolis, everything that was going on down there.
You certainly put yourself into the fray.
You're doing that again.
Tell us about these protests in Times Square.
Well so, believe it or not, New York actually woke up calm this morning and then the news started registering and hitting New Yorkers and we saw plans of protesters gathering come out as early as 8 a.m and 9 a.m, and so that's what you're seeing behind me and, just like Minneapolis, they gather for a little bit, so it started at two and then they start mobilizing and so they're just making their way out now into the city.
They've started yelling chants.
The one that caught my attention the most is when they yelled, the biggest threat in the Usa today, the biggest threat in the world today, is Donald Trump and the USA.
So there, do we have any indication as to what groups are specifically involved in these protests?
I know in the past that you see revolutionary Communism, that you see unions, members of the SEIU.
Any indications as to who exactly these people were, because typically these are not organic.
So i've seen, uh signs that say, you know, the working class are against this.
And then also, when I saw the initial, you know organizing of the protests on Facebook post Reddit, it was uh, the socialist group in America was organizing this and there was a fund, a nonprofit, behind it and I believe the nonprofit was, you know, a Unity AND Change or something like that.
But, as we've seen in Minneapolis and like many places, these nonprofits they use these trade names and it's perfectly legal, but they'll use like, defend the 612 in Minneapolis, which is like the Minneapolis area code, and they use it to make it sound local and make it sound organic.
And then when you start digging into things, it starts showing they're actually tied to larger organizations.
And that's what i'm wondering is happening in New York today behind some of these organizers.
Now my question, one question, I had you mentioned Working UH, American Workers or Workers Party.
Was it possibly the Working Families Party, the WFP?
Because we know that Workers Family, Working Families Party is directly tied to Zora Mandami.
This was a group that he was on the ballot under the Working Families Party.
They are a full-on Democrat socialist group.
Uh, wouldn't surprise me if there's some overlap between the Working Families Party and the mayor of New York, Zorah Mandami, and these groups that we're seeing.
Is any indication there?
No, I haven't seen a sign that said that logo directly, but I have actually been in touch with the mayor's office and because now we've seen the mayor has commented on this, you know, denouncing the United States um attacks, and they told me that he is not so far planning to be at any protests today.
But what we have to remember, jack is, you know, Zohar Mamdani does have ties to these protests and if he weren't the sitting mayor of New York, he would be out here with the people, and so i'm interested to follow that and see what happens today.
How about how many protesters?
What can you tell us regarding the size?
Because I see we were playing your video from earlier, but as you can see that they don't seem to be behind you very much anymore.
Yes, like I said, they've moved out into the city.
I want to say 100 have gathered.
Remember, it's very early in the day, but I do just want to highlight they were passing out this sign.
And this sign is actually very interesting.
It says, stop Trump's war on Iran.
And what they were handing out has said, Iran has not attacked the United States and has no attention to.
Well, and maybe you can confirm this, but I've seen reporting that says that Iran has actually struck U.S. military bases abroad and overseas.
And then another interesting thing about this sign is it says that Iran has no intentions.
It says that Iran has no intentions to build a nuclear weapon.
And, you know, that contradicts what President Trump said today in his speech on Food Social, where he said he has given, you know, Iranian officials the options to de-escalate and they're not de-escalating and they're continuing to pursue nuclear capabilities.
Well, that's that's incredible reporting, Breca.
Thank you so much for being there.
Stay safe, by the way, as we certainly pray for your safety as you conduct this, you know, these investigations, as you're there on the ground doing your reporting.
Tell everyone where they can go to get your information, as well as watch your incredibly informative video the other day about the state of the union.
So you can just go to my socials, Breca Stahl, and then also Daily Wire.
And thank you so much.
We'll go find some protesters and then give you guys that information too.
All right, God bless.
Stay safe.
Breca Stahl, incredible new reporter for the Daily Wire.
She did great work out in Minneapolis.
Kevin Pesobic, our field correspondent, was there with her many of those times.
She was going right in with Antifa, with the protesters.
She's doing the exact same thing, New York City today.
Again, and when we're looking at these reports, and I just want to say this, it keeps going back and forth because Reuters now coming out and saying that Reuters never reported that Ayatollah Khomeini has been killed.
Reuters putting out a clarification, even in Arabic, saying any claims that Reuters reported the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khomeini are false.
Reuters did not publish this information.
So again, as I told you folks, in war, truth is always the first casualty.
Must verify everything.
We are in the fog of war, but make no mistake, the United States is now embarked in military operations in Iran.
Human events reporting that we could see four weeks, expect four weeks of a bombing campaign.
We pray for all of our armed forces members that are in harm's way and will continue to be in harm's way on those ships, on those bases, anyone within the region.
Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
Jack Posobic, I'll be back as soon as we have more throughout the entire weekend.
