Transcript [00:00] Things are really escalating in Iran. [00:03] The crowds are getting much, much larger [00:05] over the course of the last couple days. [00:06] We'll talk about that in a moment. But [00:08] also, the regime has been killing [00:10] protesters and reports are that hundreds [00:13] if not thousands, there's differing [00:15] reports, have been killed by the regime [00:17] in the protests. And this, of course, [00:18] puts a lot of pressure on President [00:20] Trump who said at the beginning of this, [00:22] that if they started killing protesters, [00:24] the United States would step in and [00:26] protect the protesters and do something [00:28] about it. So all eyes are on President [00:30] Trump. We'll get to that towards the end [00:32] of the video. But first, let's take a [00:33] look at what's actually happening on the [00:35] ground there. Look at the crowds in [00:37] Tehran. It's really quite something [00:39] here. Take a look at this. This is the [01:00] The reason that the crowds have gotten [01:01] so much bigger has to do with the crown [01:04] prince Reza Palavi. He is the son of the [01:07] sha of Iran. Um the sha was was the [01:10] previous ruler of Iran, the previous [01:13] sort of like the king of Iran before the [01:15] 1979 revolution. Of course, Iran was [01:19] basically a democratic country, but they [01:21] had this sha this ruler and uh and he [01:24] was beloved by many, but it was also [01:27] there were some problems otherwise the [01:28] revolution wouldn't have happened. But [01:29] his son, Reza Palvi, who lives in exile, [01:32] has been encouraging much larger numbers [01:35] of protesters to come out. Specifically, [01:37] he asked them to come out on Friday and [01:39] Saturday, and that's where the numbers [01:41] really ramped up. So, this really speaks [01:42] to the fact that he might have more [01:45] popular support than a lot of people [01:47] think. Now, I want to point to something [01:49] interesting about in this statement he [01:51] put out. He put out a statement [01:52] encouraging the protesters, calling on [01:54] them to come out again next weekend. But [01:56] listen to this sentence. I invite [01:58] workers in key economic sectors, [02:01] especially transportation, oil, gas, and [02:04] energy to begin nationwide strikes. Now, [02:08] that's a very specific request, and it [02:11] also makes a lot of sense. You see, the [02:13] main income, the main cash flow for the [02:16] Iranian regime is their oil and gas um [02:20] industry, right? Selling their selling [02:22] their fuel, but also the transportation [02:25] industry. If you shut down [02:26] transportation, no economy can function. [02:28] So, by calling on the transportation, [02:30] oil, gas, and energy sectors to go on [02:33] strike, he's really looking to [02:35] the regime completely. Um he also [02:39] specifically calls on young people to [02:40] come out and he and he makes this very [02:43] interesting statement. Look what he says [02:44] here. Our goal is no longer simply [02:47] taking to the streets. The goal is [02:49] preparing to capture and hold city [02:52] centers. They're really trying to [02:54] the regime in so many different [02:55] ways. And we've also heard reports [02:57] around the country that there are cities [03:00] that are being taken over by the [03:01] protesters. That doesn't mean the regime [03:03] is about to fall. There's a lot of [03:05] different ways that this could go. Uh [03:07] and at the end of this he calls on the [03:08] young people to come out there and he [03:10] ends with this beautiful uh encouraging [03:13] statement. I'm preparing to return to my [03:15] homeland to be with you the great [03:17] Iranian nation with our n when our [03:19] national revolution succeeds. I believe [03:22] that day is very close. Long live Iran. [03:24] And there's been a lot of speculation [03:25] about how much popular support he [03:27] actually has. But the fact that large [03:28] crowds have come out in response to his [03:32] calls really speaks to the fact that [03:33] maybe he actually does have big support. [03:36] Now a major development that I wanted to [03:38] focus on here is this. Take a look at [03:41] this fascinating news story. This is [03:43] from Abra Azerbaijani news today. 34 [03:48] mosques set ablaze during Tehran [03:52] protests. The people of Iran are [03:54] actually turning against Islam and and [03:57] they're burning mosques. Here's footage [03:59] of a major mosque in Thran. [04:16] So, they're actually turning against [04:18] Islam. Look at this video posted by [04:20] Tommy Robinson, the great British [04:22] activist, of this Iranian girl talking [04:25] about heading, raping. And Islam isn't [04:29] [music] the religion of Iran or isn't [04:32] the religion of ancient Persia. Islam [04:35] was forced on us after torturing, [04:39] killing, beheading, raping, and slaving [04:44] Iranians into becoming Muslim. [04:48] Ronians Persians [04:51] we're actually Zorastrian. [04:53] And even though we might not label [04:56] ourselves Zorastrian anymore, [04:59] it all traces [music] back to it. [05:02] Zorastrianism is you can't even call the [05:05] religion when you look at the scripture [05:07] itself. It's the first monotheistic [05:10] religion believing in one true God and [05:13] one God that was all. most famous [05:17] example of Zarastian [05:20] and priest being mentioned is in the [05:21] Bible when the dream magi go find Mary [05:24] and offer her frankincense and gold [05:28] they used to calculate the stars and the [05:30] star led to Messiah at the time [music] [05:34] Zarastrians have one mantra goods good [05:37] thoughts [05:39] that's why Cyrus the great always [05:42] believed in humanity he freed the slaves [05:45] slaves for the Jews. He gave everyone [05:48] the same rights. He gave women rights. [05:51] That's just as culture [05:54] and the culture itself. You could [05:56] probably if you were to look at the [05:57] gatas and the read the avesta and ha [06:00] avesta you would see it's more of a [06:03] philosophy of life. God inherently [06:06] wanted the world to be good. God never [06:09] wanted the world to be bad. I will share [06:11] more about this, but [06:14] good words, good thoughts, good deeds. [06:17] That's what reflects in in the Iranian [06:20] people compared to its terrorist regime. [06:23] Torturing killing raping [06:26] murdering innocent children, innocent [06:29] humans, innocent adults, someone's [06:31] father, someone's mother, someone's [06:33] sister, someone's daughter. [06:35] So [06:37] I urge you to start educating yourself [06:39] before you take on sites or embrace [06:43] propagandas that are funded by actual [06:45] terrorist groups there. [06:48] Look, this has massive, massive [06:50] implications. I cannot say this enough. [06:53] Massive implications. If the Iranian [06:55] people are actually turning against [06:57] Islam, then that changes everything [07:00] globally. The Iran is a massive country [07:03] and until 1979, until the until the [07:06] revolution that brought the Islamic [07:08] regime to power, it was a Muslim [07:10] country, but because the regime was so [07:12] brutal and so oppressive, it's actually [07:14] made the Iranian people turned against [07:17] Islam. So now in their rejection of the [07:19] regime, they're burning mosques. And [07:22] here you see this girl, and maybe she's [07:24] reflective of a lot of young people who [07:25] are turning to their original Persian [07:28] faith. or you have a growing Christian [07:31] underground church that we've known [07:32] about for a long time in Iran. If the [07:35] Iranian people reject Islam, in the [07:38] course of bringing down the regime, the [07:39] reverberations worldwide will be [07:41] immense. Iran is a massive country. If [07:45] you add up the populations and the [07:47] geography of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, [07:51] Jordan, and Israel alto together, they [07:54] still don't equal the size of Iran, both [07:56] in terms of population and and land [07:58] mass. That's how big Iran is in the [08:01] Middle East. And if this massive massive [08:05] Muslim country turns against Islam, [08:07] think what that means globally. All over [08:09] the world, Islam is ascendant. and this [08:12] desire of Muslims to take over the world [08:14] and bring everyone to Sharia law and [08:15] this sense of victory they're having as [08:17] they take over Europe and other parts of [08:19] the world. Imagine what it'll mean if a [08:23] major Muslim country ceases to be a [08:26] Muslim country and moves away from [08:28] Islam. That delivers a a defeat to the [08:31] forces of Islam worldwide and it could [08:33] have massive political implications far [08:35] beyond um far beyond this region. Now, I [08:39] mentioned at the beginning of the video [08:40] that President Trump issued this this [08:43] warning, this ultimatum that if they [08:45] start killing protesters, America's [08:46] going to step in. Well, now they've [08:48] started killing protesters. And so on [08:51] Friday, which was the first big day that [08:53] they were killing a lot of protesters [08:54] and there were massive demonstration and [08:56] the demonstrations got really big in the [08:57] streets after Raza Palv's call to the [09:00] people to come out. President Trump was [09:03] asked what his plans are in Iran. So, [09:06] let's take a look at this clip here and [09:07] then we'll talk about it. [09:12] >> How long do you think the Ayatollah will [09:14] be in power after what we've seen play [09:16] out on the ground there? When is the US [09:18] going to get involved now that reports [09:19] of protesters being killed on the [09:21] ground? [09:21] >> So, Iran's in big trouble. It looks to [09:24] me that the people are taking over [09:27] certain cities that nobody thought were [09:29] really possible just a few weeks ago. Uh [09:32] we're watching the situation very [09:33] carefully. I've made the statement very [09:35] strongly that if they start killing [09:37] people like they have in the past, we [09:39] will get involved. We'll be hitting them [09:40] very hard where it hurts. And that [09:43] doesn't mean boots on the ground, but it [09:44] means hitting them very, very hard where [09:46] it hurts. [clears throat] So, uh we [09:48] don't want that to happen. There have [09:50] been cases like this where President [09:52] Obama totally backed down, but this is [09:55] something uh pretty incredible that's [09:58] happening in Iran. It's an amazing thing [10:00] to watch. They've done a bad job. [10:02] They've treated their people very badly [10:04] and now they're being paid back. So, [10:06] let's see what happens. We're watching [10:07] it. We're watching. [10:10] Okay. Big big uh big statement by [10:15] President Trump. I have a lot to say on [10:16] this. So, let's start with the fact that [10:19] he invoked Obama. Now, he wasn't just [10:22] taking a dig at Obama by saying that [10:24] Obama backed down. This was actually a [10:26] very important part of this statement. [10:29] You see, during President Obama's term, [10:31] there were protests in Iran. There have [10:33] been mass protests on and off in Iran [10:35] for the last 15 years or so. And when [10:38] these protests happened during Obama's [10:39] term, he originally said that he was [10:41] going to protect the protesters and he [10:43] warned the regime against killing [10:44] protesters and then he didn't do [10:46] anything. Now, the fact that President [10:48] Trump mentioned that means that the [10:50] likelihood that America will step in and [10:53] do something is very, very high because [10:57] now that he's mentioned the fact that [10:58] Obama made a threat and didn't make good [11:00] on it, if he goes ahead and makes a [11:03] threat and doesn't make good on it, [11:04] he'll look even worse, especially [11:06] because he just compared his situation [11:09] to Obama, which means that the [11:11] likelihood America is going to do [11:12] something is very, very high. the same [11:15] time today there was a report that came [11:19] out from uh from Washington that the [11:22] that the White House is considering its [11:24] options and uh not sure what they're [11:27] going to do or when they're going to do [11:28] it. They it might take a little while. [11:30] It might not be so imminent that they'll [11:31] take action. Now, how do we take this? [11:34] It could be that that's that that's what [11:37] they're doing. That they're actually [11:38] delaying and they're stalling about [11:39] taking action and trying to maybe [11:41] deciding to let things take their [11:42] course. Or it could be a misdirection [11:45] play. Let me explain what I mean. Back [11:47] in June during the 12-day war, everyone [11:50] of course remembers when the Americans [11:51] went in with the B2 bombers and took out [11:54] the Iranian nuclear facilities. Well, [11:56] that happened on a Saturday, right? The [11:59] second Saturday of that 12-day war. [12:02] And on the Thursday, 2 days before the [12:06] B2 bomber attacks on the nuclear [12:07] facilities, Caroline Levit, uh, [12:10] President Trump's press secretary, [12:12] issued a statement. She made a statement [12:14] saying that President Trump has decided [12:16] to think about it for a couple weeks [12:18] before deciding whether or not the [12:20] Americans are going to attack the [12:21] nuclear facilities because there was all [12:22] this speculation for the first week of [12:24] the war at what point or if the [12:26] Americans were going to step in and and [12:30] uh and attack certain nuclear facilities [12:32] that the Israelis didn't have the type [12:34] of bombs that could easily destroy them. [12:36] And if the Israelis did it on their own, [12:38] it would take much longer and be much [12:40] more costly. And there was all this [12:42] speculation about whether America would [12:43] get involved. You might remember that. [12:45] So on the Thursday, two days before the [12:48] B2 bomber attack, she said that [12:51] President Trump is going to take a [12:52] couple of weeks to think about it. And [12:54] then two days later is the B2 bomber [12:56] attack. Now that B2 bomber attack, [12:58] Operation Midnight Hammer, was such a [13:00] complex and large-scale operation that [13:04] obviously two days before it was already [13:07] decided that they were doing that. You [13:09] can't just turn an operation like that [13:10] on and off like a light switch. Which [13:13] means that the statement that he was [13:15] going to think about it for a couple [13:17] weeks was a misdirection play so that [13:19] the Iranians would be caught off guard. [13:21] Is this also a misdirection play right [13:23] now or does or is the Trump [13:25] administration really deliberating over [13:27] what to do? But again, the fact that he [13:28] invoked Obama who made a threat and [13:31] didn't make good on it and criticized [13:33] him for that greatly increases the [13:35] likelihood of a US action. At the same [13:37] time, we have to think about Israel [13:39] because today the speaker of the house [13:42] of the Iranian parliament made a [13:43] statement that if America attacks Iran, [13:46] Iran will retaliate by attacking Israel. [13:49] Now, Israel its milits defense doctrine, [13:52] especially since October 7th, is to take [13:55] preemptive action if there is a threat [13:57] building. And if the Iranians are making [14:00] such a threat like this, the Israelis [14:02] can't just sit back and wait for an [14:03] Iranian ballistic missile attack. Those [14:05] can be extremely damaging, especially if [14:08] the regime feels like it's falling and [14:09] it's got nothing to lose. They might [14:11] really, you know, let it all fly and [14:14] that could be extremely damaging. Israel [14:15] is a small country, doesn't have a lot [14:17] of strategic depth and therefore can't [14:19] afford to absorb attacks. And that's why [14:21] Israel's doctrine is its defense [14:23] doctrine is always preemptive. So this [14:27] creates a bit of a game of chicken about [14:28] what, you know, what is Israel going to [14:30] do? What's America going to do? and uh [14:32] you know and and how are things going to [14:34] play out at the same time as we have [14:35] protesters being killed, the protests [14:38] getting larger and larger and like I [14:39] said long term let's keep an eye on this [14:42] this fascinating rejection of Islam by [14:46] the Iranian people during the course of [14:47] this. So this is a rapidly developing [14:50] situation. We will continue to bring you [14:52] updates in the coming
