Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]All right, got to give you an update what's going on in the Middle East. Uh these are your headlines. Iran war live.

[00:00:05]US attacks Iranian cargo ship while preparing for new round of talks. Okay, so we were supposed to be doing peace talks, but now apparently we're attacking cargo ships. My first reaction and many people in our community were saying the same thing in last video.

[00:00:19]What is on the cargo ship? Could it be weapons? Um I haven't I I haven't seen anything that says exactly what's on the cargo ship, but that's certainly a possibility. Then that raised the question then would they be coming from China or Russia? Could be North Korea as well. Um and then I'm just going through this live as you guys are as well. So what's on the cargo ships and what's going on with that? Um we went through the tweet. You can find this in the last video, but basically Trump's saying we attacked the engine room, etc. Um we actually have video footage of this now.

[00:00:49]This is from the uh US Central Command.

[00:00:52]We'll take a look at the video and then we'll read their description of it. So this is the video footage coming out right now. We'll take a look at it.

[00:01:05]>> Motor vessel. Moto vessela.

[00:01:08]Vacate your engine room. Vacate your engine room. We're prepared to subject you to disabling fire.

[00:01:17]>> Okay.

[00:01:19]We gave the flare.

[00:01:21]Now we're getting the Okay. And that's the video. So, I don't know if those are the only shots fired.

[00:01:39]I This is the first time I'm seeing it along with you. Uh let's read through what it says. So, you just saw it. This is from US Central Command. US forces disable vessel attempting to enter Iranian port violate blockade. Okay. US forces in the Arabian Sea enforce naval blockade measures against an Iranian flagged cargo vessel attempting to sail toward an Iranian port on April 19th. So it's going to Iran. Um I think it's coming from Malaysia. At least that's one thing that I saw. You never know with this stuff. Um but but that could be just a middle one, right? So the stuff could be coming from somewhere else initially. Um guided missile destroyer USS Spirance intercepted a MV Tusca as it transited from the North Arabian Sea at 17 knots in route to Bandis Abas Bandari Abbas Iran. American forces issued multiple warnings and informed the Iranian flag vessel it was in violation of the US blockade after Tusca crew failed to comply with repeated warnings over a 6-hour period.

[00:02:47]So it's quite a long time actually.

[00:02:50]Spruants directed the vessel to evacuate its engine room. Spirons disabled Tusca's propulsion by firing several rounds from the destroyer's 5in MK-45 gun into Tusca's engine room. US Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit later boarded the non-compliant vessel which remains in US custody. So what we're watching right now is I guess video and then they're saying we got Marines that say how many. I don't know how many are on the ship of the cargo ship. I don't know the nationalities of the cargo ship. I'm just thinking questions in my mind. I don't know if there's any casualties on on on either side, but from my understanding, but then are we holding now at the moment?

[00:03:34]Just think about this. Are we now holding crew hostage on the on the ship?

[00:03:38]Like what would you do with the crew after the Marines are on on board? Do you guys see what I'm saying here? So this is so so certainly you want to know what the cargo is, who the nationalities are of the people on the crew and and otherwise. That's first questions in my mind. how many Marines are on the on the ship as well. This is a major escalation as you as you guys know. American forces acted in a deliberate, professional and proportional manner to ensure compliance since the blockades commencement. US forces have directed 25 commercial vessels to turn around or return to an Iranian port. So that's the latest. I'm going to show you. Also, we got an Iranian version that just came out a few minutes ago. Okay, so let's see what this is. Iranian sources report confrontation with US forces in se of Oman. Okay, so they're confirming some sort of confrontation. We have two lines coming from Iranian sources through two Iranian news agencies. Okay, the latest comes from the IRI, which is the Iranian radio and television. Uh, and it reported that quote Iranian container ship named Tusca was targeted by an American attack 50 miles from the port of Chabahar. And in response, Iranian carried out drone attacks on American warships. Okay. Now, do be aware this is the Iranian version, so I I have no way to confirm one way or the other, even the US version. I'm just showing you what it is so you can make up your own mind. Um the other line that came earlier from the semi official mayor news agency that said today quote US forces stationed in the waters of the seman in response to the closure of the straight of her and return of Indian and British commercial ships as well as the control measures taken by the Islamic revolutionary guard fired on an Iranian commercial ship to force it to return to Iranian territorial waters. Okay.

[00:05:28]Thanks to the immediate presence and res rapid response of the reigning revolutionary guard navy units to support the reign ship the US forces were forced to retreat and leave the area.

[00:05:39]Interesting.

[00:05:41]So, you know, if we take the US version is true, then you say the Iranians are just blowing smoke, right?

[00:05:49]Because the Americans are saying we have Marines aboard the ship, taking the ship, and the Iranians are like, "No, you were forced to retreat." H while Iranians are saying here in two lines, two narratives coming from two agencies. They've confronted the American attempt. State TV is saying that they've launched drones for the American warships and the other just said they've fired upon it.

[00:06:13]So regardless of what's going on and and and this is the fog of war of course um I think clearly we're we're breaking the ceasefire then uh if if US is saying hey we're firing on ships I mean that's obvious breaking and then you have the blockade itself which Iran was saying you're breaking the ceasefire. Um so that's the latest. Let me show you to this is coming from another party that they tracked tankers and then they were saying it was coming I think from Malaysia. Um Iranian flag container ship Tusca departed Port Clang Malaysia laden with cargo. We don't know what the cargo is according to the AIS reported draft depth. She passed US Navy blockade line and was intercepted. Okay, so it made it through and then they got intercepted.

[00:06:57]meanwhile was spotted an empty Iranian flag VLCC entered successfully. So that must be a different one maybe they're referring to. There's a lot going on. Um let me show you the map so you get a general idea. So let's say for example there's something coming from China or Russia whatever or even North Korea.

[00:07:16]Just give you an idea of the map. Um you would come down through the South China Sea past Vietnam hit Malaysia you know load up whatever goods go past Media into the Gulf that way. Um because there's been reports that China was going to send weapons um like shoulder anti-aircraft kind of stuff or whatever drones could be or or it's not even just weapons parts for weapons. Um but you could send it through I'm just looking at the map. You could send it through Pakistan go through that way or Afghanistan or or whatever. Um all these things that like we we read we read various reports and try to show you guys as as much as I can see. I'll just say this. There is a direct confrontation with China um economically at the moment. Uh this just broke just a few minutes ago and it's actually a really important part of the story if you want to understand everything. UAE so the Emirates ask us about a wartime financial lifeline. Okay, so basically the whole thing is all about are we going to buy oil in dollars or are we going to use Chinese UN? Okay, that's what it boils down to. And UA is like contacting USA is like, "Yo, uh, do a currency swap with us. Give us a bunch of dollars and then, you know, we can continue to do business as normal. If you don't, maybe we're going to start doing business in Chinese UN." Uh, let me show you guys what what it says. It says here, um, Emirate officials haven't made a formal request for a swap line.

[00:08:34]So this is kind of the early talks of this which would give the UA central bank inexpensive access to dollars to support its currency or shore up its foreign reserves in in in case of a liquidity crisis. So we're worrying about things melting down basically in talks with the US in recent days they have portrayed the proposal as a preliminary and prec precautionary the US official says. Okay, let's get into the Chinese stuff. And you have to remember you're both talking about military possible engagement with again Chinese sending, you know, weapons to Iran, which may happen. That's what we got. It depends what's on this cargo ship, where it came from. And also talking about economic, right, uh, warfare, if you want to call it that.

[00:09:12]Um, but they also argued that it was President Trump's decision to attack Iran, right? So Trump, you're causing this mess that entangled their country in destructive conflict whose effects may not be over, some officials said.

[00:09:25]Okay. Emir officials told the US officials that if the UAE runs short of dollars, it may be forced to use Chinese UN, right, or other count's currencies, but chances are UN um for oil sales and other transactions. Some officials said in that scenario is the implicit threat to the US dollar, which reigns supreme among the global currencies partially because of its near exclusive use in oil transactions. meaning that the world, you know, buys and sells oil in in dollars basically. And what if it turns out that you look to the USA, they're completely unstable. They're led by a total right? You guys know what Trump is. And he's got a pack of morons.

[00:10:06]It's not just Trump himself. And then you got a bunch of morons voting for said morons. And it's just everything's unstable and and they're they're deficit spending. They're way overextended. And you're just like, man, I I just don't have any trust in that system anymore.

[00:10:19]And then what if countries start switching over to the Chinese UN? What happens to the US economy? It implodes.

[00:10:25]This this is how you go bank. This I mean there's a couple things. This is how you start World War II. If you start these conversations, this is how you go bankrupt the country. And and they're just really overextended. And this is this is there there's so much news to go over every day. So um for example, this just came out from Reuters. I guess we're involved in Mexico at the moment.

[00:10:44]It says two two US officials have died in a car accident in northern Mexican state of Chi uh Chiwaha uh while supporting local authorities in efforts to combat cartel operations. This is from the US embassy on a Sunday. Um state authorities said that two Mexican officials had also died in the accident.

[00:11:02]So when you get these kind of reports, you never know the details of stuff. You just see that two people died on the US side, right, fighting cartels. I just think we're we're way overextended here.

[00:11:13]when I see all the stuff and put it together and then you get this news out that we're theoretically boarding vessels and and seizing them uh basically pirates and then the Iran saying we're launching drones at that which may or may not be true. I it's it's really hard to say. This has come out just a few minutes ago. I just tell you what it is. But I think that the currency thing is is really the the the really really big um that will probably be slept on because I know we're all going to be talking about, you know, this part. But do not ignore the money.

[00:11:38]I always tell you guys that stuff. It's important to understand, you know, why empires fail, right? You can become overextended, too much deficit spending, you you get lazy and you think, "Oh, we're going to be great forever." And and you, you know, go for people like Trump who are, you know, just represent.

[00:11:53]Oh, it doesn't matter who we vote for.

[00:11:55]It doesn't matter. I don't have to pay attention. And it's like Trump and his people just destroy everything. It's a representation of of the total downfall.

[00:12:01]So, you can you're watching it live. So, that's my thoughts on this. Please be careful out there.
