LIVE: U.S. Wipe Out IRGC Leaders Hiding In Iraq - IDF Launch Strikes In Lebanon
Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to TussiTV, this is your global news channel, I'm Mario Tussi, and the Israeli Defence Forces have launched their fresh strikes on the IRGC's Hezbollah branch in Lebanon.We are now seeing huge evacuations by the civilians in the capital in Beirut.We also now have a report that at least five IRGC commanders who were hiding in Iraq have been eliminated by the United States military.And we're going to give you guys the latest update on the so -called U .S.-Iran talks, especially around the issue of nuclear weapons.
the enrichment, but also the frozen assets, the financial frozen assets of the IRGC.All right.So we have a lot of videos to show you guys, especially coming in from Beirut.There is a lot happening by the IDF.We have a statement, a video statement by The Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, as well, was declaring that the war between Israel and Hezbollah continues and is now escalating.They have now received the green light from the U .
S.President Donald Trump in order to launch the strikes tonight.First, we're going to talk about the report, which has finally come out a few days ago.Towards the end of the week, there were clashes in Baghdad.At least five senior IRGC commanders have been killed in Iraq, in Baghdad, during the US strikes targeting the Iranian command headquarters, although this was one of the, not the primary headquarters,one of the secondary headquarters that they had because the first one was already destroyed.
The strike initially hit a house in Baghdad's al -Jadiyah district and killed multiple high -profile IRGC figures involved in the operations in Iraq, obviously helping with the Ghout forces.Now, the deputy commander of the IRGC's Ghout forces in Iraq, has been killed.That's now been also reported.They are saying that the bodies, the dead bodies, have now been transferred back into Iran through the Qasr al -Shireen border crossings.Now, we are expecting a reaction from the IRGC, so don't be surprised if some of the IRGC rockets get launched towards the at least the Kurdish side, because they obviously see them as the proxy of the United States, which is absolutely fascinating.We also have a video from one of the Iranian soldiers, army members, who has said that he and many others in the armed forces of Iran feel ashamed for wearing the uniform of the Islamic Republic's armed forces.
Let's go to them.Yeah.So again, this is not really a surprise based on everything that's happened over the last few months.A lot of these people obviously feel completely trapped because if you are a member of the armed forces or member of the government or whatever you are, you are being fully monitored.Before we go to that, let's quickly go to Lebanon as the strikes started initially in Tyre in the Al -Manshuk area led by the Israeli Defense Forces.Let's go.
or apologies for that.Yes, so over the last few hours we had the southern parts getting hit massively by the Israeli fighter jets.We are now expecting more strikes in the capital.We do have our live feed from central Beirut.Of course, when things obviously develop and start kicking off, we are going to go to our live feed as usual.But let's quickly go to the Prime Minister of Israel saying that we will increase the attacks on the IRGC's Hezbollah branch.
It is a shame that arouses suspicion among all of us, but what is it that obliges us now?
Yeah, so as the Prime Minister said, Israel is at war with Hezbollah and they're not giving up, despite the fact that the IRGC keep pushing for the Israelis to stop defending themselves.As someone in the live chat said, don't you guys have an air conditioner in England?No.Do you think England or the United Kingdom is part of the developed world?We don't have air conditioning.It's quite rare to find housing with aircon.
It's not America.It's the UK.We still have cars that don't have air conditioning in them.Now, most places you go, there's no air con, so that's the problem with the UK.And a huge chunk of Western Europe as well.Not everywhere, obviously, but yeah, not used to it.
Even though it's been 20 years now since we started having proper summers, but nobody thought, yeah, let's probably, it's best to upgrade the country and have air cons.No.Now, let's quickly go back to the Israeli Defense Forces in Southern Lebanon.in the Rakhshidia neighborhood hitting a building following an evacuation warning.The building was used by Hezbollah for military activity and storing military equipment.Let's go to the next video.
I'll send you the video.
So that was from about four or five hours ago that came out.There is a report that has now been confirmed from central Tehran.Violent clashes happening once again amongst the Islamic Republic members and supporters, this time between the IRGC and the Iraqi militia who have taken to the central parts of the capital, especially around the Revolution Square.Essentially what we've had is the confrontations escalating, which is a really weird situation.A lot of them are now clashing with the Iraqis, who are supposed to be there to help the Islamic Republic.But at Revolution Square, we had the Iranian security forces, who have been Obviously, they've been experiencing a lot of tensions between the Iraq -based PMU, these are the Popular Mobilization Units, the proxy members, and also the Farajah security forces, which is part of, again, the IRGC.
Confrontations involved multiple security vehicles, warning shots fired into the air, armed threats, and it kept going on.And according to the latest updates that we have, at least five Iraqi militias have been killed in these infightings.I'm not really sure what on earth is wrong with these idiots, but five PMU fighters from Iraq have been killed by the Islamic Republic security forces in the latest fights in central Tehran.The crazy thing about this is that they have brought these guys in,because they know that the next thing that they have to expect in Iran is the Iranian people taking to the streets.They know that they have to prevent the uprising.
And while these guys are patrolling the streets with guns, obviously the Iranian people are going to keep their heads down.The problem with this is that if you're bringing a bunch of idiots from Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, there are always going to be clashes.And we've had it again.About a few weeks ago, there were some fights, but nobody got killed.They were just fighting like idiots.But this time around, weapons were used, and a number of them have been killed.
We don't know if anybody has been injured, but the photo that you saw was not actually from there, by the way.The photo was from the previous rallies that they were having.So they had the fake paintball guns.That's not from the clashes, obviously.But it's absolutely fascinating that despite the infighting, Nobody can control the Arabs who have taken to the streets of Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan and elsewhere.And that's still going on.
If you think that the whole of the Islamic Republic is going to be united against, hypothetically speaking, ground invasion or uprising by the Iranian people, no, they're going to be all over the place.Obviously, they're going to do a massacre as usual, but they're not going to be organized.They're not going to be...There's no loyalty from the Iraqi proxies, for example.So the whole thing is falling apart before it has even started.On the issue of, I think we're just getting another video from Southern Lebanon.
Let's quickly go to the Israeli strikes that are happening tonight.This is the latest from a couple of hours ago, but I think we're getting some videos from a few minutes ago as well.The strikes continue.This is in the southern part of the country.It's crazy.But on the issue of the negotiations, the state of Qatar has come up with a new idea.
So two main issues have been a problem.Actually, three main issues.There are so many issues.The three main issues are big problems.One is obviously the overall nuclear, because the Islamic Republic don't want to even discuss nuclear.until the war has ended.

Get started freeThen you have the frozen assets.The financial assets has been frozen by of the IRGC.Then you have the Strait of Hormuz.So on Hormuz, the Islamic Republic surrendered the idea of having a toll to ask for payment.But then they came up with a new idea.Net zero.
Yeah.So they have now introduced environmental fees.So they said we are no longer going to be implementing a toll at the Strait of Hormuz.What we're going to do instead We're going to ask for commercial vessels and oil tankers to pay us money, but it's not a toll.It's for environmental purposes.Absolute insanity.
But we also have the issue of the frozen assets.The state of Qatar has a new idea, has a new solution.There's $12 billion right now in the Qatari banks being held by the United States.It's been frozen.These are the IRGC financial assets.The Islamic Republic won the money.
They also want about $100 billion to be released, right?Qataris have said they have now offered to give the Islamic Republicof Iran $12 billion humanitarian loan.So technically that won't count as their assets being obviously released.But the reality is that Qataris can afford $12 billion, right?So Qatar is now going to be propping up financially, propping up the Islamic Republic just to survive for a while, $12 billion.
so that the IRGC don't go to the Americans and demand to have their $12 billion dollars released.The problem with this is that the Islamic Republic could take the money and still say that the Americans should give them the frozen assets.So if the Americans might agree to this, say well this is the humanitarian loan, we can't really stop Qatar from giving money to their allies in Iran, but that way the Americans could get away with not giving the Islamic Republic the money, right?But they're saying it's a loan.It's not going to be a loan.It's free money and Qatar can afford it.
So while that's happening, there is also a situation with the tensions when it comes to the upcoming World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico.The Iranian football team, there's a whole drama around it.Can they go?Will they go?Are they going to be boycotting the American side if they have to play in the US?Obviously, everyone's now on their way to North America.
to prepare for the games in about, what, two weeks to go?Two, three weeks to go.Mexico has come to the rescue.Yeah, the socialist crazy president, Shane Baum of Mexico has now confirmed thatthe Islamic Republic football team will stay in Tijuana because the United States has denied them entry to Arizona.So we're not really sure exactly what's going to happen with this World Cup and the Islamic Republic team because if you remember during the uprising and obviously the war that's been going on, we also had the Iranian female was it the football team or other football team or yeah it was a football team I think.
When they were in Australia for a tournament they had difficulties even when they were in Australia and some of them were protesting and some of them wanted to stay as refugees.So the IRGC had to obviously have to they always have to send their handlers and henchmen with any group of people leaving Iran.It's like North Korea.So the IRGC were always going to be sending some handlers and officials with the Islamic Republic football team to the United States for the World Cup to keep an eye on their football players in case the football players defect, in case some of the football players decide to protests, for example, and we have this person saying soccer.It's not, it's literally football and it's the world's game and the whole world calls it football because it's football.And if you don't play it, why do you care what it's called?
Just go and watch NFL.Although not my team these days, Miami Dolphins are not doing too well.Haven't for a very long time.But they have to send IHS officials.Obviously, the Americans can't let them in.Because they are banned.
So what's going to happen now?Will the Islamic Republic football team actually play in the United States or not?At this point, no.They can play in Mexico but can they play in Canada?Because Canada have also banned the IRGC.So there is a workaround which is sending Islamic Republic regime figures, handlers who are not technically members of the IRGC.
That's the best way to to go around it.And anyway, we now have the latest video from Beirut, the capital, as civilian evacuations are now happening out of Dahir in Beirut.Let's quickly go to that.OK, so yeah, as this is happening, I think we are getting more videos now of strikes in Lebanon, which we will go to in a second.I think we're just verifying the latest footage that's coming in.I'll be told in a minute.
Yeah.Okay.All right.Some quick reactions.Pajama 2C, suit 2C, t -shirt 2C.Why is the pajama on the other side?
Wow.Your hair looks so much better.Fluffy.No more gel.I never use gel.I'm very much against hair gel.
Never use gel unless you are, I don't know, what sort of people use hair gel?I kind of usually tend to insult a group of people, but yeah, don't use hair.gel.That's bad.Yeah, I never use gel.It's icky when you use gel.
Anything else?Wax, spray, whatever you want to use.The legacy media, purposefully educated individuals, the IRGC and IRGC are equally deluded.The media and Literates assert that Iran is prevailing, but the IRGC exists in a self -constructed Neptunian realm.Why?It's been happening since Karl Marx.
We always have people in the West, in any developed civilization.doing self -hating and obviously hating their own civilization, their own side.Okay, so we're now getting several explosions in Iran.As we speak, this has now been confirmed in southern parts of Iran in Bandar Abbas, the main port.Several explosions have now erupted.Anti -aircraft activity has now also started.
We don't know what's happening over there, but in the Hormuzgan province, OK, so we'll wait for the details of this because apparently the explosion was near a military base in Bandar Abbas.Three, three huge explosions have started.OK, and the Israelis, the Israeli government has now approved The start of Operation Arrows of Fire.This is the military operation that has now started.We have the first video by the Israeli Defense Forces.Beirut is going to be hammered tonight.
Let's go.It's started now by the Israelis.Okay, so we are Going to we're gonna go to Beirut.Let me see if we have sound.Okay.Well, we'll get the sound in a second Things will be happening there as well shortly, but Let me just quickly show you on the map on Interactive map.

Get started freeThere we go.So this is of course Iran.Let's quickly go to the south and this is Bandar Abbas right by the Strait of Hormuz we have had three explosions right there so far we still don't know exactly what's going on there but what we do know is that the Islamic Republic did announce earlier tonight that in the next couple of days in the next few days they are going to be starting a military drill in that area So I'm not, again, if this is sabotage or, because I haven't started yet, this isn't them, unless somebody messed up again, but we'll find out.I don't know if somebody's, if there have been some clashes with some of the naval assets or maybe the UAE are hitting again in retaliation, but that's unlikely, obviously.So unless it's some sort of internal conflict, something that's, I mean, it's been happening for some time.Let's have a check.
OK, so now this has been confirmed by the Islamic Republic state media.We now have more explosions in Syria as well.What's going on here?So the MEH news and Fars news, both of them obviously the state media outlets in Iran have now confirmed multiple explosions in Bandar Abbas.Fars news has also said that at the same time we've also had several explosions in Syria and Jask.Okay, so I need to figure out something because I don't understand why all this at the same time.
Hang on.because some of them are not that close.They're not, they're not close.Okay, let me just quickly go back on the map.We have to update what I reported.So I'll put it from here, basically.
So you can see the map, you can see the Persian Gulf.Let's zoom in a little bit, little bit.There we go.You got the Persian Gulf, you got the Gulf of Oman, you got the Strait of Hormuz in the middle.Three explosions right here, Bandar Abbas, and then one here in Syrac and one here in the Bandar Jask.They're not that close.
So we're not really sure exactly what's happening over there.But it's what time is it in Iran?It's currently just past midnight.Right.They're probably going to say gas leaks.Right.
But the Israelis have started the operation.What do they call it again?Where is the name?Operation Operation Arrows of Fire, which has now been launched by the IDF in Lebanon.OK, so who's doing this?We shall wait for confirmation, guys, because this is getting a little bit interesting, literally at the same time as the Qatari is trying to help mediate, at least on the issue of the frozen assets with the Islamic Republic.
It seems like it hasn't gone down too well.They are saying that they are pushing for a deal by Tuesday, which is tomorrow, 26th of May.But it's unlikely that the deal that they're talking about is going to be their deal.Based on Bias says what map is being used?This is our very own in -house interactive map built by our team, our TCTV team.But I will have some good news and big announcements for the members of 2CTV +, because if you enjoy this and the concept, obviously Interactive America, you can obviously click on anything and whatever, we will soon be making an announcement that will allow you to have some access to certain things.
without giving too much information.Yeah, I mean, if you enjoy getting latest up -to -date info and data from a war room style system, then just keep an eye on our announcements in the next few days and few weeks.Something like this might be coming to you guys as well.If you are not a member of 2CTV +, while we wait for more information about what's going on with these explosions in southern Iran, you can, oh I'm dying, you can become a member of 2CTV+.Today we have a limited special offer, right now, six days and two hours to go, but do it now before you forget.50 % off annual memberships of 2C TV plus if you use the promo code migrant50.

Okay, so that's that one, obviously.And then we've got the Crown Prince Vesaparlavi's interview, if it's going to come.
There we go.is how do we first establish a transitional government that manages the temporary affairs of the country, which goes without saying, as far as I'm concerned.

Okay, we're just, I was just buying some time, like President Trump, to get some more intel on what on earth is happening.All right, so we now have at least four explosions.So more explosions have now happened in Bandar Abbas.Source remains unclear.We're not really sure who is responsible for, but the explosions continue in the southern parts of Iran.It's crazy.
Absolute insanity.Okay, let's quickly go to our live feed in Beirut while we wait for more information.Let's get some reactions here.Also deeply saddened that Iran is equated with the IRGC.The media makes it so vague.Thank you also for 2CTV+.
Love the content.Thank you so much.Yeah, the fact that a lot of people in the media think Iran is the same as the Islamic Republic is fascinating.Yeah, as we always say, Love Iran, hate the Islamic Republic.in Fahrenheit is 86 to 90.No, it was, well, it was 36, so hang on, hang on, hang on.
It was 36.97, 97 degrees Fahrenheit.That's how hot it was in London with no AC, no air conditioning.Death.We have fans, but they're downstairs.I used to, last summer, when we were doing the live streams from, obviously, I'm upstairs.

Get started freeHome studios are actually upstairs.on top of the house basically.It's separated.That's why I can't really just easily bring up the fans.But I did have some fans.while I was doing, obviously, streaming and everybody complained in the live chat saying, well, the sound in the background is annoying.
We can't hear you.It's like you're speaking from the space or whatever.So I stopped using a fan.So I decided to just melt while I do a live stream.So that's lovely, isn't it?But if it helps to paint an image in your head after the live streams, I quickly jump into a cold Bathtub, it's already ready ice water bathtub ready go in picture that straight afterwards That's not the Europeans.
They keep trying to shame us about our gun deaths.They had 60 ,000 deaths from heat 20 ,000 more than we do in gun deaths in 2025 alone get AC Most of the other side of Europe do have air conditioning.It's a There's a big problem in the UK, mostly, and a big chunk of France.Paris, at least.JBN reporting three large blasts in Bandar Abbas.Yeah, but that's now four, and also a few others on the other side.
Oh, we are now having IDF launches in Gaza as well.So we're now having southern Lebanon.Gaza and southern Iran explosions.Do people with the Trump derangement syndrome take stupidity lessons or are they born that way?It's because of their childhood and upbringing.It always goes back to that.
If you are basically anti -Western civilization, anti -freedom and basic human values, it just goes back to your childhood and upbringing and the environment.It's not always there.Nature is also nurture.Sounds like Qatar could use some democracy eventually, yeah.Northern New England, US is the same.A few people have AC.
Just sweat and wait.It'll cool down.Very cool.It was 5 degrees this morning.It will be 35 soon.Celsius?
Is it still possible for a new government?But it's not like there's no window.It's not like, you know, oh, it's finished now.It's not like football or soccer.It's that, oh, 90 minutes, it's finished, now what do we do?It doesn't work that way.
If you are told that to the French peasants who were doing the revolution a couple of hundred years ago, oh, it's too late for you to do a revolution now.You had a chance, but that's not really how it works.There's always a chance, you just have to keep trying.Same could be said about the brilliant, freedom -loving Cubans.So, there's always a chance.It's never easy when it comes to dictatorships.
But every day, every month, every year, you can keep trying.Usually, it's best to try different methods.In Iran, probably best not to do the protest method when they go on the streets and say, please, can we have some democracy and freedom?You're going to get shot.So you can't do that.You have to have guerrilla warfare and you can't just wait for the Iranian people to do it on their own without any help because they can't.
Because they're unarmed and they're not revolutionary people.Some help should be needed on the ground.Some coordination.Have you heard of anything about the shootings in Texas after the one in California?I heardsomething about three young men going around shooting several different targets over several days.
Can you confirm?Don't have much details about that unfortunately.Is Trump wanting a deal a sociopathic trait?Is Trump wanting a deal a sociopathic trait?No.It's not that.
That's not really how it works.It's based on the things that are happening behind the scenes, including CIA intelligence and military assessment.President Trump makes the final decision, but it's everybody else who are doing the work and who should do the work behind the scenes.They go to the president saying, for example, hypothetically speaking, we've been doing airstrikes in Iran for weeks and weeks.Clearly, that's not going to work.And the president could say, all right, now go come up with a new plan.
They could come up with some new plans and say, well, we've got this option or that option.And he says, well, I can't, I don't want this, this is terrible.We need to buy some time.Let's do some negotiations.Let's put pressure on them to see if they sign the surrender deal.Give me better options.
And if the military hypothetically come and say, there is no real good option.then obviously the president can't just say, I'm going to press the button and fight.That's not really, it's not a video game.You can't just say, well, I'm sitting out.I just want the U .S.
military to go and defeat the IRGC.Just do it.Just do it.That's not really how it works.If it were that easy, trust me, the U .S.
military would have done it by now.Clearly, there are obstacles.It's not an easy thing to defeat the IRGC the way you think they should be defeated.I said from day one, airstrikes are not going to bring down the regime.They can weaken the regime, and they have weakened the regime, but they can't bring down the regime.Unless you have a radical plan, and obviously that includes ground invasion, but even that's not easy because there are different versions of that, and the president will have to buy some time while they prepare for different options.
So that's the reality.Anyway, I voted for him three times.but damn, this is ridiculously bright to run.Again, that's not how it works.We can just sit here and say, go on, press a button, just go, like Call of Duty, like video game, just go, fly and shoot.If it were easy, they would have done it by now.
And they tried the first method, obviously that didn't work.Talent breakout pathway, playbook step -by -step, yeah, and, Liberating Iran will end the oil crisis, a win -win.Yes, but if you could end, if you could liberate Iran within a few days, then yes, of course.But if the option on the table is at least a two -year military operation, well, that's going to be very difficult to sell to the American people, and the risk of it, because that two years could become five years, could become 10 years, could become Vietnam.I really like your content.Keep up the great work.

Get started freeThank you so much.Why don't you have AC?Because old houses in London don't have AC and it's rental, so you can't just set up an AC here.Or air conditioning, as I say.Lots of which have disappeared, but do you think the RGC is following in their talents?Yeah, yeah, I saw that.
I'm not sure.No one can tell what the IRGC are doing or thinking.Iran has run out of water, a massive humanitarian crisis coming, and no matter what, offering humanitarian aid to Iran is prudent and going to happen anyway.Nobody's offering humanitarian aid to Iran.The state of Qatar has offered humanitarian aid or loan to the Islamic Republic, but not to Iran.So it's money going to the IRGC, not Iran, not the Iranian people.
Just want to say thank you for being the realist guy on the telly.Oh, thank you so much.You don't care what the golf is called, but...care about the sport and get offended.If you think I got offended, you can call it soccer if you want.It's still football.
As I said, the same applies to the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of America or Persian Gulf or Arabian Gulf or what the Arabs want to call it.Weirdos.You can call it soccer.It's still football, just like how it's still obviously the Persian Gulf.You could call it, what else can you call it?Legball, I don't know.
It doesn't matter what you call it.It's always going to be football.It doesn't really matter.Anyway, crazy stuff.But yeah, the reaction was that there were people being offended because they were saying, no, it's soccer.It's soccer.
You can be offended.It's still not going to be soccer.I believe in 2C TV.If 2C says it's probably going to happen, then it's probably going to happen.What's going to happen?I have not said anything.
I'm not promising anything for the record.Nothing is going to happen.I have not said anything is going to happen.We'll find out if the deal to have a deal will be done tomorrow, because that's what they're saying now.But the huge obstacles are still ahead, so it's going to be very difficult.If the people come out, can Israel help them?
Not if there is a deal with the Islamic Republic to basically get the Israelis and the Americans and everybody to withdraw, because then that will break the deal.that will violate the deal.Do you see the problem?If there's no deal, like now, then yeah.But it requires massive coordination with the people in Iran.And there's obviously a disconnect right now because communication links between the Iranian people and people outside, especially intelligence services, is completely cut off.
So it's not very easy.All right, we're still waiting for somemore information about what's going on in Bandar Abbas, whether this was gas leaks or unexploded bombs, as they call them in Iran these days, or some sort of sabotage internally or some sort of small clashes with U .S.S.Navy or the UAE or whatever's going on.We will get more information on that and of course over the next couple of hours we're going to keep an eye on the situation in southern Lebanon because we now have the Israeli Defense Forces launching a new military operation targeting Beirut.
Thank you so much for watching.I'm Maya Otusi and we are the media.
