an ABC reporter to try to also claim thateverything's going fine. This is exactlywhat was expected. So Donald Trumpcalls Jonathan Karl. Let me just talk toyou about what Karl posts in a phoneconversations a short while a while ago,Trump stopped short of saying Iran hasviolated the ceasefire.
Regarding the Iranian drone and missileattacks on UAE today, Trump said theywere shot down for the most part. Onegot through not huge damage. Regardingthe Iranian attack on a South Koreanship, quote, we're going to look into it.Trump said shots were fired at a SouthKorean ship,
and I think South Korea should takesome action. This was a South Koreanship riding by itself. It was not anescorted ship. There are no escortedships. you're making this all up do yourealize how deranged this is making theUnited States look right now I mean thisproject freedom is a complete and utterfarce and
all it has done is it's caused an escalationand now Trump has blinked yet againand he's saying these are unrelatednations as though he doesn't care aboutthe UAE or he doesn't care about SouthKorea. I mean, I think that's very tellingright there.
I mean, you take a look right here atsome of the satellite data that's comingin right now. This Fujairah fire from theIranian is at over 13 gigawatts of thermalradiative power across three detectionpoints. What that means, this is a farlarger missile strike on this facility thanwhat took place on March
9th when people were saying, wow, thatwas a pretty big strike of that UAE port.Now, take a look right here again. Thefacts don't lie. No one is even attemptingto leave the Strait of Hormuz right now.There is no Project Freedom. Trump ismaking this all up.
Now, here's what a source close to Iran'sparliament leader MB Galibov says.Attacks on the UAE have begun frommultiple fronts and are ongoing. Thenone of the IRGC spokespeople posted,the element of surprise is no longer asecret. It has become a reality knockingat our doors. One of the Iran militaryspokespeople says,
expect an earthquake that will wipe outyears of arrogance in a matter of hours.Tonight, perhaps a new chapter of powerwill unfold. One the adversaries havenever witnessed before. OK, rememberearlier today what Treasury SecretaryScott Besson said, or as we call himBaghdad Besson. Here's what Bessonsaid earlier.
Donald Trump is blinking. Apparently he is in denial as Iran has launched missiles and drones at the United Arab Emirates, at their port city of Fujairah, as well as hitting a South Korean Speaker 1. social media post that he was going to be escorting ships in the Strait of Hormuz
and that Navy ships were heading into the Strait of Hormuz, which caused an escalatory response from Iran in addition to what I just stated. Iran also launched warning strikes at the U.S. Navy ships, which stopped going into the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has launched a number of other ballistic missiles as well as drone strikes in the direction
of the United Arab Emirates and specifically the strike that hit the port city of Fujairah is significant. This Fujairah port is one of the areas that the UAE has been using in order to try to get around the Strait of Hormuz closure by Iran and routing oil through this
port and these pipes to go around the Strait of Hormuz. So with clear escalation happening with Iran striking and successfully hitting these targets, here's what Donald Trump's response was, because Donald Trump just wants to pretend his Navy blockade is working perfectly and things are great.
And meanwhile, I mean, the markets are responding horribly to what's taking place right now. This blockade was clearly an escalation trap from the outset. Here's what Trump just posted. We've shot We've shot down seven small boats, or as they like to call them, fast boats. It's all they have left. Other than the South Korean ship,
there has been at this moment no damage going through the straits. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Kane will have a news conference tomorrow morning. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Donald J. Trump and then Trump gave a call to Jonathan Karl.
an ABC reporter to try to also claim that everything's going fine. This is exactly what was expected. So Donald Trump calls Jonathan Karl. Let me just talk to you about what Karl posts in a phone conversations a short while a while ago, Trump stopped short of saying Iran has violated the ceasefire.

Now, here's what a source close to Iran's parliament leader MB Galibov says. Attacks on the UAE have begun from multiple fronts and are ongoing. Then one of the IRGC spokespeople posted, the element of surprise is no longer a secret. It has become a reality knocking at our doors. One of the Iran military spokespeople says,
expect an earthquake that will wipe out years of arrogance in a matter of hours. Tonight, perhaps a new chapter of power will unfold. One the adversaries have never witnessed before. OK, remember earlier today what Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said, or as we call him Baghdad Besson. Here's what Besson said earlier.
Play this clip attacks from Iran has closed the strait. We are reopening it. So I would urge the Chinese to join us in supporting this international operation. You know, there are things moving through the U.N. that China and Russia have blocked.
so you know if they want to be good global citizens join join at the UN right and
then Donald Trump called up state regime media which calls itself Fox and Trump says that the naval blockade is the greatest military maneuver in history by the United States do you realize how much this harms our credibility you're saying a blockade of Iran's blockade enclosure of the Strait of Hormuz is the greatest American military maneuver in history.
By the way, the US blockade has been evaded on multiple occasions and Iran's been able to get around it going through the territorial shores of Pakistan and also Pakistan opened up a number of routes in order for Iran to ship its oil on land and also If the plan was to open the Strait of Hormuz,
putting a blockade on a blockade, you think that's a brilliant military maneuver? And didn't you say now, what, about 10 days ago, that Iran's pipes were going to burst because they were filled with so much pressure? Oh yeah, that didn't happen. None of the things that Donald
Now, I also asked President Trump about the possibility of negotiations with Iran succeeding. He said the Iranians are being far more malleable than they were being in the past, showing flexibility given the U.S. folks,
let's just bring back again so you can see for yourself what this Fujairah fire looks like. Here's an image of the Fujairah fire. Let's just play this clip so you can hear and see what's going on for yourself. Let's play it.
Kenapa? Kenapa? Kenapa? Kenapa We are going to play the game
Now, Professor Morandi, one of Iran's kind of foremost intellectuals who travels with the Iran negotiating team, and he's as close to leadership as you get. Here's what he says. The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, The people of Iran will be unforgiving. Iran's social media. media posting images like this of Donald Trump. Rest in peace,
as in rest in pieces, a photo of Trump and Netanyahu saying the American people made the greatest mistake in history by electing a president who prioritizes Israel interests. Then an Iranian social media account posts the following. A U.S. official says the rules of engagement for U.S. forces in the region have been changed.
And Iran says, come closer, Donald. We are ready. Come closer. We are ready. Then they write, one who sits in a glass tower should not throw stones. In response to Donald Trump, saying that we shot down seven small boats. Iran denies that any small boats have been shot, says this is yet another lie by Donald Trump.
And then Iran's social media accounts say Project Freedom without Iran's consent and participation is a failed project. You also had Treasury Secretary Scott Besant earlier this morning saying Iran is starting to believe its own propaganda. Let's play this clip.
Yeah, so let's level set here. I think the Iranians are starting to believe their own propaganda. And just to be clear, the leadership is hunkered down in bunkers all over the country. And I don't think they know what's going on. But what is going on is... that they're reduced. Their Navy is not a Navy anymore.
It's a band of pirates. They are trying to cut off international freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormones. And the U.S. is opening that up. This is a humanitarian effort.
And a reminder that earlier today, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson called upon the Chinese. He called upon China to help the United States in Project Freedom. China's helping Iran, you moron. Like, do you not? You think that Xi Jinping is buds with Donald Trump? Are you? He's Baghdad Besant. Here, let's play this clip right here.
Attacks from Iran has closed the strait. are reopening it. So I would urge the Chinese to join us in supporting this international operation. You know, there are things moving through the UN that China and Russia have blocked. So, you know, if they want to be good global citizens, join the UN. When this summit was originally scheduled,
we were not at war with Iran,
and now we are, and it was punted about a month's time. What would be your expectation from a summit in Beijing next week?
I think the expectation is it will be a chance for President Trump and Xi Jinping to exchange views in person. The strength of the relationship is relationship between the two leaders in Busan, South Korea. Tee Ashby teeashby Tee Ashby teeashby push forward the consensus from Korea and also keep the relationship stable.
We've had great stability in the relationship. And again, that comes from the two leaders having great respect for each other.
We also learned that there are three injuries in the United Arab in the strike of the UAE Fujairah port. Three people appearing to be of Indian nationality from India were injured.
