Trump THREATENS FIRE AND FURY For Iran

Trump's initial statement about the war ending soon caused oil prices to drop and the S&P 500 to rise, followed by a "fire and fury" threat. This suggests an attempt to manipulate markets and manage public perception while facing escalating conflict.

Trump made a major announcement... Oil prices had gone skyhigh... Trump calls or was called by a CBS news reporter and he said that the war will be over very soon. Immediately, the S&P 500 shot up. Oil prices rocketed down. Everybody was so excited. The taco is coming. And then he took to the stage and yeah, uh that's not really what we got at all. Let's take a listen. ... If Iran does anything that stops the flow of oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America 20 times harder than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back as a nation again. Death, fire, and fury will rain upon them.

Iran's leadership, particularly the new Ayatollah who lost family members in US strikes, is determined to continue fighting until the US midterms, believing this is their only chance to inflict sufficient pain and secure a lasting advantage.

Iran, though, is signaling they want to keep going at least until the midterm. So, we'll talk about everybody's strategy and where everybody is in this war at this point. ... The Iranians have been very consistent in saying we're not done. Oh no, you don't get to say when this is over because we know we learned our lesson from the 12-day war. We're not doing a ceasefire with you now until you have felt the pain. ... A top Iranian security official tells Trump be careful not to get eliminated yourself.

A proposed US special operation to capture Iran's highly enriched uranium would require a large ground force and air cover, with analysts deeming the logistics and risks "prohibitive," potentially leading to significant US casualties.

More confirmation of everything that we warned you about yesterday, capturing Iran's highlyenriched uranium would require a large US ground force, sources say. So the president continues to weigh that special operation, which would go in and capture all of this nuclear material. ... You can't just send in small team of Delta Force. They know you're coming. That's why the 82nd Airborne has currently been put on notice and is awaiting orders and they can deploy anywhere in the world in like 72 hours. This is the this is the exact reason is that to be able to do so, it would require yes, the Delta guys to go in it, but somebody's got to protect them. So, you're going to need all these air assets. You need large ground force around the area. ... One of the analysts that they interviewed here said the logistics and risk involved would be prohibitive. Meaning that this isn't just risky. This is practically a death wish.

Trump claimed Iran possessed Tomahawk missiles to deny US responsibility for a strike on an Iranian girls' school, a statement contradicted by his own defense secretary and international arms knowledge. This reflects a pattern of deflecting blame for civilian deaths.

Trump goes well a lot of people have tomahawk missiles including Iran. I'm I'm not joking. That's what he said. ... Super generic missile that only the United States, Britain, and Australia have. Even Israel does not have these things, right? So, I mean, it's like I mean, I'm not I'm laughing, but I'm not laughing. Like, that's an insane thing to say. ... bombing in an elementary school where you have 168 girls who are now murdered and more than a dozen of their teachers who are now murdered on the very first day of the world of the war is a moral atrocity.

The conflict and US actions are strengthening hardline sentiment in Iran, potentially making them more likely to pursue nuclear weapons as a deterrent, directly undermining a stated US goal of the war.

The more this war escalates, the darker it becomes for US allies across the region. ... You've got the new Ayatollah who's I mean I can't even give you the list of how many relatives this guy is dead. Uh I read a profile of him yesterday. We really don't know much about him. We only heard his voice once apparently in public in 2024. But the only propaganda video of him released is cleaning his gun during the Iran Iraq war. Not great. Also, somebody who had apparently long fostered relations with the IRGC and tried to uh put down or, you know, bolster some of the hardline factions during protest in '09. So, you've got the ideological component, the fact that his, you know, his father has been killed, his wife, his daughter, or sorry, his son, one of his children who was killed in this strike, and you're like, "Oh, man." man like we're dealing with somebody if anything this is the guy who's going to repeal a fatwa on nuclear weapons you can understand from a psychological personal perspective and an ideological you you fuse those two things together what would you do ... there is a very strong possibility you've just made it more likely that they will pursue a nuclear weapon, not less.
