Israel yesterday attacked the South Pars natural gas refinery on the Iranian coast. That was a major escalation. President Trump posted on Truth Social that the US was not involved in the original hit on the South Pars field in Iran.

0:16

All of this has been coordinated with the US and we've heard that from the US side as well, both political and military. So Becky, at this point, I think it's very difficult to believe Trump's claim that the US and he knew nothing about the attack. well, both political and military. So Becky, at this point, I think it's very difficult to believe Trump's claim that the US and he knew nothing about the

0:28

attack.

0:30

Well, President Donald Trump claims that he wasn't notified by the Israelis prior to their strike on the South Par's gas field, which happens to be the largest gas field in the world.

0:42

Meaning that, well, the inflation we're seeing at largest gas field in the world. Meaning that, well, the inflation we're seeing at the gas stations across the country, it's going to get worse. Now, Israelis do refute Trump's claims here. But Cenk, honestly, it's hard to tell who's telling the truth because I don't trust either side in this entire debacle. But what do you think? Yeah, so I'm going to save who I think did it in a minute.

1:06

I want you to give the facts and then I'll weigh in on it. But I also want to talk about how much Israel screwed us over with these strikes. I mean, it's a big FU to Americans,

1:18

to the world, and they knew that it was going to be a double disaster. Why was it a double disaster? We'll explain that too.

1:27

Well on Wednesday night, President Donald Trump posted a lengthy statement on Truth Social saying that Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field in Iran. A relatively small section of the hole has been hit. I mean, we saw the fire,

1:51

it seems like it was a pretty big deal, but nonetheless, I'll continue. He says that the United States knew nothing about this particular attack, and the country of Qatar

2:01

was in no way, shape, or form involved with it, nor did it have any idea that it was going to happen. Yeah, okay, so this gas field, it stretches to Qatar.

2:14

This impacts Qatar negatively as well, so why would anyone think that Qatar did this? Of course, Qatar didn't do this. The Israelis did it, the Israelis have admitted that

2:23

they did it. And it is devastating because the Iranians, of course, are going to retaliate, have retaliated. And how do they retaliate?

2:32

By hitting oil and gas infrastructure in other Gulf countries. Anyway, let's go back to Donald Trump's statement. He says, unfortunately, Iran did not know this or any of the

2:43

pertinent facts pertaining to the South Pars attack. And unjustifiably and unfairly attacked a portion of Qatar's LNG gas facility. No more attacks will be made by Israel pertaining to this extremely

2:57

important and valuable South Pars field. Unless Iran unwisely decides to attack a very innocent, in this case, Qatar. In which instance,

3:07

the United States of America, with or without the help or consent of Israel, will massively blow up the entirety of the South Par's gas field at an amount of strength and power

3:18

that Iran has never seen or witnessed before. Wait, who are you mad at? Are you mad at the Israelis? Why are you mad at? Are you mad at the Israelis? Why are you yelling at the Iranians when the Israelis

3:30

Yeah, so

3:31

let me begin to break it down. So why is it a double disaster? So Israel knows that once you hit Iran's gas fields, Iran is going to counter strike by hitting some of our allies gas and

3:45

oil fields. And that's what they did. That's why Donald Trump was saying, Iran didn't know this, that Qatar was not involved, and we weren't involved.

3:57

That's why they struck against

3:59

Qatar.

3:59

And that's why we, why bother saying all that? Because Qatar is a very important ally of ours, our largest base is in Qatar. And so what Trump is trying to say

4:13

is, Qatar, we didn't mean it.

4:16

We didn't mean it.

4:17

And no one could have known that Iran was going to strike you back, because obviously Iran was going to strike Qatar back, right? So he's trying to get that responsibility off of him,

4:27

a little bit onto Israel and then mitigate it. So, Anna, who do I think actually what actually happened?

4:34

Well, hold on.

4:34

Because I want you to hear from, in my opinion, Israeli side of this entire matter. So look, he went on to say that he didn't authorize this level of violence and destruction.

4:47

Actually, you did when you decided to start an illegal war, that's what you did. So violence and destruction is what comes along with war, especially illegal wars.

4:57

However, for what it's worth, an anonymous source spoke to CNN, and said that the United States was in fact aware of the strike. This was a US based source. Now, Axios is reporting, I think you should always take with

5:10

a grain of salt. It's Israeli propaganda, especially when Barak Ravid is the reporter, the name you see on the byline. But Barak Ravid did claim that

5:19

the US in fact went even further than just being notified about it. They allegedly coordinated the plan of attack. And then CNN's Jerusalem Bureau chief says that Trump

5:31

coordinated the attack. Let's take a quick look at that.

5:35

Before we saw President Donald Trump's response, we had heard from two Israeli officials that the attack was coordinated with the United States. And that, of course,

5:43

is no surprise. Since the very first opening strikes nearly three weeks ago now, Israel and the US have been coordinated on nearly every aspect of this.

5:51

And that's not only a testament to the relationship between the US and Israel at the political and military levels. It's also simply necessary to carry out these attacks with so

6:00

many moving parts in the air and in the sea all at once. So Israeli officials say the attack in the South Pars gas field was coordinated with the US. And it was intentionally targeted

6:11

at gas and electricity infrastructure, not at oil infrastructure, to insulate the attacks and the price of fuel in the United States from Israel's ongoing attacks.

6:21

The idea that three weeks into a war that Israel wants to continue, that Israel would just simply go rogue and carry out attacks that are not coordinated with the US is incredibly hard to believe right

6:31

now.

6:32

Yeah, that's CNN's Jerusalem bureau chief, except I have to tell you the other person involved, Netanyahu had his hand up that guy's

6:41

ass.

6:41

Because I watched the whole thing and it was like Israeli propaganda after Israel. Israel would never do anything like

6:48

this, going rogue and

6:49

not listening to America. You're a reporter, and you don't know how many times Israel's gone rogue and not listen to America. Including the time that Donald

6:59

Trump told them to bring their jets back in the first war against Iran, because they went rogue and you're a reporter. Now total propagandists working for Israel, which is honestly, I mean,

7:12

an enormous percentage of our so called reporters in America. So Barack Ravid, immediately, don't forget Noble Mobile saving you a ton of money. So a lot of people are signing up

7:22

now and beginning to realize, what the hell? Why am I paying so much of Verizon and AT&T? So your bill's only $50 a month, but it can actually be less because

7:30

they give you money back if you don't use your data. So if you're paying more than $50, there's no reason to not switch. It's crazy not to switch, because same phone, same number, changes tyt.com slash switch, tyt.com slash switch. All right, we'll be right back.

7:45

Two things about him, it's such a tell, right? So Joe Kent comes to resigns and says this Iran war is wrong, there was no imminent threat, and Israel pushed us into it. Ravid's like livid about it, objective reporter, tweet after tweet, how dare he? This is wrong, not poor beloved Israel. How could you say anti-Semite, anti-Semite, anti-Semite, right? Come on, come on. These guys, it's hilarious.

8:10

They claim to be objective, right? So, okay, that notwithstanding, yes, but who's right and who's wrong? Just because they're representing Israel doesn't mean that

8:22

Donald Trump is right. Exactly. Okay, so now we, unlike them are fair. So upon looking at all the evidence, my best guess and it's a pretty educated guess in this case,

"Cockatoo has made my life as a documentary video producer much easier because I no longer have to transcribe interviews by hand."

8:33

is that no, we did it together. Okay, that Trump and Israel decided to do it together. I don't know why in the world that moron Donald Trump would agree to that.

8:42

Why would he do this? Does he not understand?

8:47

That's why I added the adjective moron.

8:49

Yeah.

8:50

Cuz he really doesn't.

8:51

He really doesn't.

8:52

He's an absolute fool.

8:53

And so number one, they probably talked him into it by saying, don't worry, Donald. It's gas, it's not oil.

9:00

I know, what was that argument?

9:03

And then you see that same propaganda reported by the CNN reporter. Yeah, the energy is gas and oil are not connected. The energy market is not connected.

9:13

Gas is totally different than oil. It's oil and bananas, right? So don't worry, Donnie, shut up and bomb them, right? And so however they convinced him to bomb, it doesn't matter. My best guess is yes,

9:25

they both did it together. And then when, and the thing that was absolutely critical as, and again, why Trump's lack of intelligence and homework and knowing anything about the world is

9:38

so important, because he also didn't realize Iran would counterstrike against gas and oil fields of our allies. because he never expects anything. He has literally said that now since the war began,

9:49

nobody knew that they could close the Strait of Hormuz.

9:52

Everyone knew that, right?

9:54

That was one of the main arguments against going to war against Iran. But no one could have expected it. He keeps saying, I was shocked, I was surprised that Iran attacked our Gulf allies.

10:07

You have US bases in those countries, of course Iran is going to attack, what are you talking

10:15

Yeah, and so when Iran counter attacks, so now you've got oil prices and gas prices and energy prices going up because of both attacks, so

10:24

it's double the trouble, right? So but Trump, by the way, gas prices and energy prices going up because of both attacks.

10:25

So it's double the trouble, right? So but Trump, by the way, another time where he said nobody could have known was, he's like, Iran attacked our bases in the Gulf countries.

10:35

No one was expecting that.

10:38

That's the very first thing you should expect.

10:40

Where are they going to hit us? Where are our soldiers, the only Americans they can reach? Because they can't reach us in America because there was no threat

10:48

at all.

10:49

The only place they can reach us is our bases in the Gulf countries. It looked like really the lowest IQ person in America could have

10:55

figured that out.

10:57

And he said on tape,

10:58

you can go watch it. It was a big shock to me. I didn't know they were going to attack back. And Anna, the main point there is all of his advisors are Israel first.

11:07

Yeah, they are.

11:08

They've all taken millions of dollars from the Israeli lobby. So they keep telling them, don't worry, no, Iran's going to surrender. When you show them how tough you

11:16

are, Donald, they'll just cave. But one more strike, and they didn't hit their gas fields. I can't believe they hit us at all. I thought they were going to melt in your presence, Donald, and he believes it, he's such a moron. So but I don't take any culpability away from him.

11:33

But last thing about this, Hannah. So Israel says, no, no, it wasn't just us, it was us in America. Wait a minute, are you calling Donald Trump a liar? because Donald Trump very clearly

11:46

said it wasn't us, it was Israel. Now whenever they think it's convenient, they love to hide behind Donald Trump's skirt, right? So they're like, Trump wants this war,

11:56

are you against Trump? Are you saying Trump was weak, that he was pushed into this war by Israel? You sound like you're betraying Trump.

12:05

And the minute Trump doesn't go along with their propaganda, which is what we told you, the minute Trump doesn't say exactly what Israel wants him to say, they're like, he's

"Your service and product truly is the best and best value I have found after hours of searching."

12:13

a liar.

12:14

He did no good, Trump, lying about poor little Israel.

12:19

What happened now, huh?

12:20

He might be lying in this.

12:21

Look- Yeah, he is, I think he is lying. But notice their code switching with their propaganda about how Donald Trump is the greatest person and should never be criticized, or he's a piece of crap liar who's besmirched

12:34

poor Israel.

12:35

Can I just say, I do think that Trump was shocked that Iran decided to strike US military bases and our embassies in our allied Gulf countries because of the fact that, look, can we just all finally acknowledge, I know we've been acknowledging it, but I want to get people who have

13:00

denied Iran's restraint to finally acknowledge that previously Iran showed a tremendous amount of restraint in the 12 day war after Operation Trump's Hammer or whatever he called it happened, right? Angry, what was it? Angry Hammer, Furious Hammer.

13:12

Midnight Hammer.

13:13

Midnight Hammer, okay,

13:14

it was whatever.

13:14

After that happened,

13:16

everyone was thinking that Iran is going to retaliate viciously, but they didn't. They showed a tremendous amount of restraint. They did everything they could to prevent this war from happening, guys.

13:26

And I think that Trump mistook that restraint as weakness.

13:30

100%. And that's why Iran is saying now, we're never going to repeat that mistake. And so what's happened, guys? So there was a big mystery, including myself. I didn't know, is Iran actually weak? Or in the beginning, were they just trying to avoid war

13:46

in their first round? Now in this particular war, remember they got their asses handed to them right in the beginning, killed their top 49 leaders.

13:55

So I thought, well, there's some chance they're idiots, right? And they are actually a paper tiger. As it turns out, so in the beginning they do a lot of strikes and the first things they knocked out

14:06

were our radar, so it makes it harder to detect their incoming missiles and drones. Then they let us waste a ton of interceptor missiles over and over and over again.

14:15

And the graphs show that the number of attacks from Iran went down. So are they playing possum and they're going to do a trap or they just are ineffectual? Well, over the last two days,

14:27

the number of missile strikes and drone strikes have gone way up. Turns out they were playing possum and now they hit Ben Gurion

14:35

airport.

14:36

They hit the largest military base in Israel. And now the bombs are landing because there's not as many defensive missiles.

14:43

So two other things that were hit recently, the oil refinery in Haifa was hit and that's a big blow to Israel, big blow. And on top of that, there is some preliminary reporting

14:57

on a US F-35 that was struck down by Iran. Now reports indicate that none of our soldiers have died as a result of this strike. I hope that's true. that was struck down by Iran. Now, reports indicate that none of our soldiers have died as a result of this strike.

15:08

I hope that's true. The reason why I say I hope that's true is because there's a near media blackout when it comes to the reality for our soldiers, for our troops in that region.

15:18

But this video was released showing the strike. It's very short, but I do want to show it to you. We can keep my mic up as we take a look at it. So this is the video that was

15:29

released by Iran showing the strike on an F-35.

15:33

So that was our stealth fighter, apparently not stealth enough. So thank God the pilots okay, I believe him on that.

15:39

They're invisible.

15:40

Yeah, well,

15:41

that's literally what Trump said once. He thought it was like Wonder Woman's plane or it's invisible. It's not invisible to the naked eye. Anyways, so thank God he's okay.

15:54

The plane landed outside of Iran, so it's okay. But what it does show you is, the rumors of Iran's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Now the counter attack has begun

16:07

in earnest, straight of Hormuz is locked, bombs are landing all over Israel, our jets are getting shot down. But the entire time they convinced Donald Trump that it was going to

16:18

be super easy, and he was stupid enough to believe it. And now they're reeling him in and ground troops are next. Yeah, and I was listening to a report in enough to believe it, and now they're reeling him in and ground troops are next.

16:25

Yeah, and I was listening to a report in regard to gas prices right now. In Florida, since the beginning of the war, gas prices have gone up $1 a gallon.

16:36

Yeah, that's across the country, 90 cents for the entire country on average. In LA, in California, gas prices are above $5 on average. In LA, in California, our gas prices are above $5 on average. It's gone up since the war, just in 19 days, 25 to 30% gas prices everywhere. That's what happens when you start hitting oil fields and gas fields all over the Middle East and you close the Strait of Hormuz.

Brent crude, the international standard, briefly rose above $119 per barrel in the morning before pulling back to $110.80, which is still 3.2% rise from the prior day. So every day prices keep going up higher and higher and higher as

17:17

more oil and gas infrastructure, more gas fields get demolished, destroyed, struck. But look, our Secretary of War just more gas fields get demolished, destroyed, struck. But look, our Secretary of War just wants you to all calm down if

17:30

you're freaking out, okay? If you're wondering whether or not things are out of control already, don't worry, okay? Take it easy. The US holds the cards.

17:41

Take a look.

17:43

It kind of seems like a trend of Israel apparently pursuing their own objectives over US objectives. I'm not sure if you agree with that, but the President has said he doesn't want to hit Iran's oil

17:54

infrastructure right now. As you said, the US avoided this on Park Island. Oil is nearing $120. Why are we helping Israel prosecute this war if they're going to

18:04

pursue their own objectives?

18:06

We hold the cards. We have objectives. Those objectives are clear. We have allies pursuing objectives as well. And the truth speaks for itself. I mean, President Trump was very clear about that.

18:19

Iran has weaponized energy for decades. Israel clearly sent a warning. And POTUS has made it clear, very clear. Iran knows when you hit Karg Island and hit military capabilities on Karg Island, which is the only

18:32

thing we hit, we can hold anything at issue, anything. The United States military controls the fate of that country.

18:43

Watching his press conferences might be one of the most embarrassing things I personally feel that I've had to go through as a citizen of this country. He sounds like a moron,

18:56

he acts like a moron, he gestures like a moron. He has no idea what he's talking about and he keeps talking about carrying out death and destruction.

19:07

This is not a professional, okay? This is a former Fox News weekend host and a drunk.

19:13

So he's talking about like we control that country completely, do you? Then why is the Strait of Hormuz closed? Why did they just shoot down one of our stealth fighters if we're completely in control of the country? So the other problem is he says, no, our objectives are very clear.

19:30

Wait, are they? because just a couple of days ago, Donald Trump told our allies when they asked them, what's your objectives? How do we know when the war is over?

19:41

He said, I'll know it in my bones.

19:44

Okay.

19:47

So now our objective is getting Donald Trump to feel the right things in his bones. And apparently that's a crystal clear objective, right? I mean, they're all total incompetence here.

And when you try to do a war with an actual country that could fight back, and even as we decimated their Air Force and their Navy, etc. It's not like they didn't know we

20:05

were going to do that.

20:06

It's not like they didn't know that our Air Force and Navy are much mightier than theirs, right? So they planned ahead, unlike the idiots like Hegseth and Trump.

20:17

And then now guys to the economics of and I told you the $119 per barrel, remember at 120, analysts warn of complete economic destruction in America and the West.

20:30

This is all as Israel pretends, we are doing this to protect the West. We are your great protectors. And they told us though, it's okay because it'll never get

20:40

to $120. It was at $119 earlier today, okay? So now it went back down a little bit, it keeps see-sawing. But guys, none of the news lately is good news, it's all bad news.

20:50

is good news, it's all bad news. So this is-
