Nick Fuentes Reveals the BRUTAL TRUTH: "The Iran War Is Lost, Trump Knows It!"

Added: 2026-06-08

[00:00:00]It's not even like we brought them to the table and had leverage and we got them to agree to certain things. This is like a unilateral total defeat. And it seems that the administration has simply been in denial. And it seems that for the past 8 to n weeks, we are slowly coming to terms with the fact that we have lost the war. We have not achieved our objectives. It is impossible now to achieve them. Even by the previously stated objectives of the United States government itself, it's become crystal clear that Trump has lost the war in Iran. We know it. Trump knows it. Trump knows that we know it. And yet, he's been in total denial, promising victory and a road toward peace, but not one he's willing to accept on current premises. Well, here Nick Fuentes breaks down the political ramifications of this denial of Israel's role in it and what it means going forward and how long this war could go on. So, let's break it down. Please like the video, subscribe to the channel, and hype it if you can.

[00:01:08]>> We have effectively been in a stalemate with Iran for the past eight weeks and nobody really knows what is happening. What we are being told is that we are in a ceasefire with Iran because we are working out a deal. We are engaging Iran in diplomacy. There are bilateral negotiations between the United States and Iran. They're actually being mediated. They're indirect through Pakistan and Qatar.

[00:01:39]However, it's hard to say if that is even true. This is what we are being told. And yet at the same time it seems that every week there is this familiar cycle where the administration comes out and they say on truth social or in the press pool or in the oval office they will tell us that Iran is begging us to make a deal. They have begged us for an extension of the ceasefire.

[00:02:08]They want to make a deal really badly.

[00:02:10]They're making major concessions and that a deal is imminent.

[00:02:15]We have probably heard this no fewer than a dozen times since the war started.

[00:02:22]And then what inevitably happens is that within 24 to 48 hours, the Iranian side will come out publicly and say that everything the administration is saying is a lie. And Iran will come out and say, "We are not talking to the United States. We don't want to talk to the United States.

[00:02:41]We don't want to make a deal. We can wait. the United States out. We have all the time in the world and we're not making any concessions. These are our demands and they haven't changed at all.

[00:02:53]Yeah, that's generally right. There have been a few exceptions where the Iranians had been willing to go to the table, but only once or twice, and they realized that they were played by the Zionist impulses of Witoff and JD Vance and Marco Rubio, who wanted to undermine any kind of deal that would actually allow them to stand with dignity, with sovereignty, with ballistic missiles, basic deterrence against the United States and Israel. But overwhelmingly, Nick is correct here. There has been this cycle of absurd lies by the administration which are countered by the Iranian officials who have been remarkably consistent about their position. And whenever you have these potential outlets for negotiations, the one time it happened like about a week ago, you had the attacks against Lebanon ramped up by Israel because they want to undermine any potential deal. And Trump's not willing to leave on these terms anyways. and he'll always defer to the Israelis. So the whole story about him being so incensed and so outraged at Netanyahu resuming and in fact expanding the bombings in southern Lebanon have been an orchestrated ruse to try to prove to the public he's still in control even though it's very true that Netanyahu does control our foreign policy.

[00:04:13]>> That's the second part. And then within days of this, the United States comes out. Trump in particular will say that he is finally done messing around and the Iranians are not taking him seriously and they're crazy and they don't know what they're doing and if they don't get their act together then we're going to bomb them again.

[00:04:34]And this is the cycle. We have seen this basically every week for the past 8 to nine weeks. They want to make a deal.

[00:04:42]They're making concessions. A deal is imminent. We are we are planning all these meetings. we're going to Pakistan, we're doing this and that. Iran says,"None of that is true. Our demands haven't changed. It's still the same."

[00:04:55]And then Trump comes out and says, "We're going to bomb them." And then it starts all over again the next week.

[00:04:59]It's like we all just forget.

[00:05:02]Starts all over again the next week. We don't bomb them. Trump comes out and says, "Oh, we don't need to bomb them."

[00:05:07]Because they beg for a ceasefire and they want a deal more than anyone knows and they're making concessions. They call us liars. He threatens to bomb.

[00:05:15]This has been the cycle and it's hard to know exactly what the strategy is or what even the objectives are. Remember the original objectives in the conflict were announced by Trump the day that the war started. We were seeking the destruction of Iran's stockpile of highlyenriched uranium. We wanted to destroy their enrichment capability. We wanted to degrade their stockpile of missiles and drones. We wanted to stop them from supporting regional proxies.

[00:05:47]We wanted to sink their navy and institute a regime change. Those were the initial objectives and we have achieved none of these things.

[00:05:57]>> Yeah, he's exactly right. Actually, if you doubt him on that, go back to that initial Trump speech and some of the things he was talking about around that time. He even said, "Iranians, rise up and overthrow your government. This might be the only chance to do so." And then of course in the subsequent days after that he lied and said no I never talked about regime change even though you can find plenty of clips out there saying that yeah regime change was part of these aims and aspirations. Of course it was. He was duped into launching the strike by David Barnea, the Mossad chief, and Netanyahu sitting at the head of the table at the situation desk in the White House, as has even been reported by corporate media, who isn't exactly friendly to the Iranian regime and always basically toes the Hosbor line. That's just the truth here. That hasn't been uh accomplished whatsoever.

[00:06:52]None of those objectives. They still have enriched uranium. That's not going anywhere. They still have large supplies of drones and ballistic missiles and in fact have been replenishing them quickly. They're not going to reopen the Strait of Hormuz under conditions that are likable to the United States.

[00:07:09]They're going to charge a toll for ships going through there. And there's nothing the US can do short of maybe a military operation that puts a million boots on the ground. Something that no one in the US has a stomach for. So Trump is selling you lies that they're coming to the negotiation table. They're not. This is going to go on. The United States economy and in fact the world economy is going to be bled dry in an energy crisis over this. We're already feeling those results right now.

[00:07:39]>> We have not destroyed their highlyenriched uranium. We've not destroyed their nuclear capability. And they're not willing to give up either of those things. We have not destroyed their stockpile of drones and missiles.

[00:07:49]We haven't even significantly degraded them. They're actually rebuilding what they've lost and that will be completed within 6 months. We failed at regime change. If anything, the regime is now stronger. At the minimum, it is more resilient. It is more defiant and it is dug in. It's not going anywhere anytime soon. So, if we have not achieved our objectives, then have we abandoned them?

[00:08:16]And if we haven't abandoned them, then how are we going to achieve them in the future without re-engaging Iran militarily?

[00:08:24]And this is sort of the fundamental question, which is we have all these objectives that we failed to complete, which by the way now includes also the opening of the straight of Hormuz without Iran being able to charge tolls.

[00:08:39]So we haven't achieved any of the objectives.

[00:08:42]In order to achieve them, it would probably require a significant military escalation in terms of tactics and strategy.

[00:08:50]>> Yeah, he's right. And even in addition to the problem created by launching this war, the closure of the Straight of Hormuz for the United States, it's also that Trump threw in the requirement for the Gulf States to all sign on to the Abraham Accords, less no peace come.

[00:09:06]This was a response to the outrage by neocons and scientists who are Trump's chief banner waiverss now. Israel first, Mark Leavvin, Ben Shapiro, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, saying that no deal should happen on the terms that were being discussed about a week and a half ago. Well, to that he says, "Let me insert this new poison pill, sign on to the Abraham Accords in addition to all of those farcical demands that Iran is never going to accept. might involve a ground war or attacks on civilian infrastructure or the use of weapons of mass destruction. But it seems that that is off the table. It seems that everybody realizes the administration is unwilling or unable to do this. And so if the objectives have not been completed and if the United States is not willing or able to escalate in such a way to achieve those objectives in another round of attacks, well then does that mean the United States has abandoned its goals?

[00:10:06]And it seems that for the past 8 to nine weeks, we are slowly coming to terms with the fact that we have lost the war.

[00:10:15]We have not achieved our objectives. It is impossible now to achieve them. It is most likely cost prohibitive or impossible to achieve anything that we set out to achieve. And so what would you call that if we are forced into a position of unilateral retreat, unilateral withdrawal and surrender after we failed to achieve a single objective? Well, you would say that we lost the war. You would say that we lose. We tried, we failed, and now we're done. So, we lost.

[00:10:52]We hit them with everything we had. The regime survived. They still have their missiles. They still have their nukes.

[00:10:59]Actually, they have the straight of Hormuz under their control, whereas they did not before. And there is nothing we could do even to get them to make any concessions. So, it's not even like a negotiated settlement. It's not even like we brought them to the table and had leverage and we got them to agree to certain things. This is like a unilateral total defeat. And it seems that the administration has simply been in denial. What has been happening over the past 8 to n weeks?

[00:11:31]Well, it seems that in the first few weeks, the administration was looking for a creative military solution that might give us some leverage to have a negotiated settlement. It seems like after the first four to six weeks, the Pentagon realized that what we were doing wasn't working. We were bombing Iran and it was having very little effect. Whereas Iran's attacks on us and our allies were very effective. They were destroying US bases. We were running out of our interceptor stockpile.

[00:12:08]Our Gulf allies were being destroyed.

[00:12:10]Their real estate, tourism, banking industries were all being affected by this. Our very limited number of THAD systems and Patriot missile batteries, radar systems, our ISR was all being destroyed across the region.

[00:12:24]>> Yeah, this is correct. And some of these are very under reportported stories like the damage to US bases in the region of something like just over two dozen bases in the Middle East surrounding Iran.

[00:12:36]Remember, they put their country way too close to our military bases. 16 have been damaged and 13 have been damaged to the extent that they're effectively inoperable and uninhabitable and resources have been allocated otherwise.

[00:12:51]The US has only destroyed something like three out of 33 ballistic missile deployment centers. This is reported again by corporate media news outlets.

[00:13:01]And the fact that they've replenished their missiles while the United States gives our weaponry still to the proxy war in Ukraine, which by the way, the House just voted another 9 billion to support this war Trump was going to end on his first day. In addition to all of that that which expended in Venezuela and is setting up for a possible regime change operation in Cuba and used in places like Somalia, etc. It's just madness. It's empire building and it really is the worst manifestation because you're here just completely with your head in your face showing the limits of US military supremacy around the world. We're not in the unipolar moment anymore. This is the result of a stupid conflict launched for Israel's interests that have also the effect of showing the world that America is much more of a paper tiger than it would have led you to believe prior. So it seems that there was this realization in the beginning that military options are not working and actually we're doing more harm than good. So we abandoned that.

[00:14:09]Then they started to consider well maybe there is a way maybe there is some creative solution where we can thread the needle and we can escalate the tactics against Iran in a way that is more than what we have done already. So it might be more effective like let's say for example we invade one of their islands or we bomb their energy infrastructure or we bomb their civilian infrastructure. In other words, we we escalate the tactics qualitatively. We do something we haven't done yet, so that it might be more effective than what we tried and which failed. But how do we escalate more than what we did before, but without triggering a brutal retaliation from Iran? Because of course, if we hit their energy, then Iran will retaliate and bomb Saudi Arabia's energy, which is unacceptable to us. if we bomb their civilian infrastructure, they'll bomb civilian infrastructure in the Gulf, which is unacceptable. So, we were looking for maybe something in the middle, more than what we did before, but less than something that would trigger an unacceptable retaliation. And so this is where Trump was brainstorming and basically bluffing, threatening to invade Car Island, threatening to invade the islands in the straight of Hormuz, threatening to launch some kind of raid inside Iran to secure the highlyenriched uranium, threatening to bomb all their bridges and ports and energy infrastructure.

[00:15:40]Now, I think eventually the Pentagon realized, just like they realized before, there were no military options that were working in the initial phase of the conflict. I think eventually they realized there's nothing else we could do short of inviting a brutal Iranian response. If we invade the islands, all the soldiers are going to die and they're going to bomb Saudi Arabia and Emirate oil.

[00:16:05]>> Yeah, it's a total failure in every regard. It has Trump scrambling and acting like he's in control of things even though it's very clear that the Zionists within his own government and Netanyahu are in control of things, especially in terms of being able to sabotage any outlet toward peace. And at one point in this conflict, you had Trump embracing allout madman theory.

[00:16:28]It's a term actually from the 1960s because in late 1969, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger deliberately set up this plan where they would flex the potential of using nuclear weapons against the North Vietnamese to send a signal to the North Vietnamese that they were willing to do literally anything to end this war, even if it led to mass atrocities against civilians. It was a bluff. It was a calculated bluff that thankfully never came to fruition like the poor hundreds of thousands of people that died in the senseless massacres of people in Nagasaki and Hiroshima and in all the firebombing dur during World War II. But this was a maneuver that didn't exactly work. Well, Trump embraced this by saying, "Hey, we're going to destroy all the civilian infrastructure. We're going to end a civilization tonight."

[00:17:21]And instead of that working to kind of force the Iranians to capitulate and develop an exit plan and rush to meet the United States with a diplomatic engagement, what did you have? You didn't have that. In fact, you had defiance from the Iranian regime, not wanting to act like a bleaguered empire or a belleaguered country that was just being completely slaughtered by the United States. You had defiance. You even had civilian defiance. people for whatever reason went out and crowded around bridges and infrastructure and kind of called the bluff of the president of the United States. You can say that was remarkably stupid. I wouldn't do that in war situations. But it also took a remarkable amount of courage and that is what we're seeing here. Trump also tried to say, "Hey, you close the straight of Hormuz where we're going to blockade your closure." And it nothing of this sort has worked. Nothing will work short of a political settlement that also leads to the Iranian regime remaining intact because there's no other solution, short of a grand military expedition that would cost maybe hundreds of thousands of US lives. It's definitely in the thousands.

[00:18:33]Something that no one has the stomach for and only neocons like Mark Levvin are and Ben Shapiro are even openly suggesting right now. That's where we're at here. And I think that there's an impass because of Trump's unwillingness to leave this in the disastrous situation we all know it is. But I don't think there's any other route for Trump.

[00:18:54]Him starting this war, him igniting this war, that initial decapitation strike that took out Ali Ham spelled his defeat from the beginning. There was never any way to rectify this from that perspective. He can't walk away on terms in which he hasn't fulfilled any of his objectives. And that's where we find himself. And that's why I think this war is going to go on a long time. It's going to lead to an economic crisis that goes beyond what you're seeing right now in the energy markets. And we're all going to feel the consequences. And I think Nick is generally correct here.

[00:19:29]None of this bluffing is working. And what would you call that? If we were looking at different countries involved in a conflict of this sort, it would be to say that you've lost. You've lost the ability to command your will in war.

[00:19:43]You've lost escalation dominance because you haven't even accomplished the objectives again that the Trump administration set out. Not ones that I'm making up. Not ones that, hey, I I wish were true so as to prove my confirmation bias and to prove myself right. No, the ones that Trump laid out haven't been accomplished. And that's why we're in the situation we are. But what do you guys think? Do you think Nick Fuentes is right about this? Do have we lost the war in Iran?
