Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]Welcome in everyone. I hope you guys are doing great wherever you're watching from. Today I'm filming this on April 21st and we have big news as this morning the United States military has stormed and another another Iranian linked ship as the blockade remains in effect and we are now hunting Iranian ships around the globe. This one being stopped in the Indoacific and boarded by US commandos. Plus, we have more updates with negotiations and the ceasefire is the clock is ticking down to the war restarting. So, I'm going to get into it. I'm going to give you my assessment.

[00:00:57]My DMs are wide open. Reach out with whatever you got. And lastly, as many of you know, I am leaving the country for a little bit, so you will be seeing less of me for some period of time. Can't really get into why right now, but eventually I will be back. So, understand if there's an absence, that is why. Now, let's get into it.

[00:01:15]So right here, the Department of War releasing a video this morning on the morning of April 21st saying overnight, US forces conducted a right of visit maritime interdiction and boarding of the stateless sanctioned MT Tiffany without and we're going to get into the origins of this ship and what it is tied to. Just stick with me here. um in the Indopaccom area of responsible of responsibility.

[00:01:41]So that is the Indo-Pacific, the Asia area, China area. Remember these ships often take stuff to China. We just had a report last night that the first ship we boarded and seized likely was carrying secret cargo from China into Iran. As we have made clear, we will pursue global maritime enforcement efforts to disrupt illicit networks and interdict sanctioned vessels, providing material support to Iran anywhere they operate.

[00:02:08]International waters are not a refuge for sanctioned vessels. The Department of War will continue to deny illicit actors and their vessels freedom of maneuver in the maritime domain. So, this right here is footage released by the US military.

[00:02:23]You can see they're load the commandos are loading up the helicopters.

[00:02:27]Helicopters are taking off.

[00:02:31]And here they are boarding the vessel right there. That is the Tiffany.

[00:02:39]So if we go right here. So right here, I'll pause it. You can see the guys on your screen roping down from the helicopters onto the deck of this massive oil tanker.

[00:02:53]And then right here you can see them fanning out, guns up, ready to engage if necessary.

[00:03:01]And that is the oil tanker right there.

[00:03:04]So we have now taken two, not one but two different Iranian ships. The first one being a cargo vessel that was believed to be transporting secret cargo or dual use cargo which means it also has not just a civilian use but a military use. early reports indicating that it is likely it was carrying chemicals for Iran's ballistic missile program. Now, on the morning of April 21st, we are learning and seeing footage of a second ship. This time, an oil tanker that was believed to be carrying uh obviously sanctioned oil.

[00:03:38]Now, for some more details on this ship, I'm going to put this up. This is the open sanctions page. So, so it says here, "The tankers involved in the transportation of Iranian oil since December 2024, the vessel has twice loaded Iranian oil via shipto- ship transfers with sanctioned Iranian flag tankers in the Singapore area while conducting dark activities. On July 30th, 2025, the United States imposed sanctions on the vessel." So this is part of the shadow fleet of the secret fleet of tankers that the Iranians use to get their oil out to the world, make money, enrich themselves, and keep the government in power. We have now boarded it. We have now interdicted it, which is a huge win for America. Now, for those of you who haven't seen the footage of the first time we did this a couple days ago, I'm going to show it to you, and then we're going to get into some statements from Trump and negotiations.

[00:04:32]Make sure to stick around. You don't want to miss any of that. So this is when we took the Tusca helicopter and then right there we got the night vision view south going in.

[00:05:00]And this again is the ship that is believed to have been carrying secret cargo likely from China.

[00:05:09]And this right here is the footage of the moment they blew up the ship's engine room with the 5- in gun >> right here. Shot away. One shot, >> two shots, >> and then three shots right there. So that is the two scope. Now Iran I'm going to put this up on the screen.

[00:05:34]It says Iran state media I uh sorry I says despite multiple threats from the US Navy the Iranian tanker Silly City escorted by the Iranian Navy safely crossed the Arabian Sea and entered Iranian territorial waters last night. It is now anchored at the southern port of the Islamic Republic of Iran. So Iran is claiming that at least one tanker broke through the United States blockade. As always guys, keep in mind when it comes to stuff like this, you quite frankly cannot trust the Iranians at all. We do not know for sure what is true or what is not, but the Iranians are claiming that someone got through. I would take it with a grain of salt. Be very, very, very, very skeptical. Now, some comments from President Donald Trump. Trump saying this morning, Iran has violated the ceasefire numerous times, announcing that on True Social. And then more announcements here. This was actually late late last night, Monday night.

[00:06:33]Operation Midnight Hammer was a complete and total obliteration of the nuclear dust sites in Iran. Therefore, digging out will be a long and difficult process. Fake news, CNN, and other corrupt media networks and platforms fail to give our great aviators the credit they deserve. Always trying to demean and belittle losers. So Trump is kind of setting the expectation here that getting the enriched uranium, getting whatever was in Fordo or Natansa, which we hit with the 30,000lb bunker busters, getting that enriched uranium, the dust, the leftovers, whatever you want to call it, is not going to happen quickly. He is laying the expectation it could be a very, very lengthy process, which I'm sure it would be because if you hit a site with 12, 30,000lb bunker busters, it is going to take some time to dig everything out.

[00:07:19]And then Trump on Iran further saying, "Well, they're going to negotiate and if they don't, they're going to see problems like they never have seen before." So, President Trump attempting to continue to apply as much pressure as possible to the Iranian regime ahead of negotiations, kicking off, or will they kick off? They're supposed to be happening in Pakistan. It is a very, very fluid situation. and the Iranian uh speaker of the parliament Galabah saying Trump by imposing a siege and violating the ceasefire seeks to turn this negotiating table in his own imagination into a table of surrender or to justify renewed wararmongering. We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats and in the past two weeks we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield. So remember we're supposed to be having this big negotiation in Pakistan. All sides seem to be indicating that I don't want to say it's not going to happen, but we don't have a lot of positive signs that it is trending in the right direction. The Iranian parliament speaker pretty much taunting Trump. And then right here, the commander of the IRGC, remember the IRGC is the extreme hardliners who are now running the country. Ahmed Vahiti insist on a hardline negotiating stance, which is more or less what the Iranians have so far, refusing to engage in good faith negotiations, refusing to give up any of the things America wants, the enriched uranium, the dismantling of their nuke sites. So the IRGC, which I've talked about at length, you guys, the viewers of the show, know this. They're the hardliners. They do not want to negotiate. They do not want to give anything up. At the same time, it says Iran's according to Axios, Iranian negotiators have reportedly se received the green light from the Supreme Leader to attend negotiations with the US and Pakistan. Vance will depart DC for Islamabad late tonight or tomorrow. So negotiations again, we don't really know what's going on, but the update is it does appear that the Iranians might show up. Of course, they've said they're not going to show up repeatedly now. and vice president JD Vance is expected to attend as well. Furthermore, Bloomberg reporting that the western military official assessment is that reopening the straight of war moves can only be achieved through an international coalition that would require several several countries to get involved. Right now, you just have the United States of America with our naval blockade. I believe a total of 15 warships and an aircraft carrier are there. That is what we have right now in terms of what is sealing the entrance exit of the straight of Hormuz. Uh and now the assessment is other countries will have to come in. At the same time that is going on, the United States is flying a MQ4C surveillance drone right off the coast of Iran. Right here you can see saying skirting Iranian airspace on a surveillance mission on the Persian Gulf. So we have spy aircraft, spy drones are in the air at this hour.

[00:10:16]doing soaking up that signals intelligence, taking photographs, getting all the information they need.

[00:10:22]And then right here again overnight, the airlift of uh American aircraft, cargo, military aircraft continue to be in the air. We are flying these around the clock, one after another, one after another, one after another, restocking, getting our supplies, bringing people in in case this kicks off. And then we also from Shin have reports over Shiraz Iran of fighter jets in the air. So fighter jets in the air over Iran. They could be fighter jets escorting the Iranian negotiating team. Could be fighter jets from the Iranian side just doing patrols. Remember we know they have at least one F4 Phantom that is still flyable as well as a MiG 29. So I'm going to pull this off the screen. So, as of me filming this video on April 21st, the morning of April 21st, we have now stormed and seized a second Iranian ship. We have major major fluid developments with ongoing negotiations at this time. So, we've got a lot to monitor. I'm going to continue to watch it. As always, guys, let me know what you think in the comments below. Please make sure to like and subscribe. And again, you will start seeing me a little bit less starting tomorrow, I believe.

[00:11:32]Uh, I will be out of the country and that's just what it is. Don't want to get into it right now, but expect that.

[00:11:37]And as always, guys, thank you very much for watching. I'll see you all next time.
