U.S Troops Pulled Out of Iran's Missile Range /Col Doug Macgregor (Daniel Davis)

Colonel Macgregor points out that missiles and radar systems have been pulled out of South Korea and sent to the Middle East which means that more war is very likely. He thinks that the only way the US and Israelis could potentially destroy the Iranian underground facilities is to use nukes. He further points out that China and Russia back Iran, so that no matter what happens a Western victory is unlikely. 

Macgregor believes that Iran will prevail in any conventional war where the only option for the US is to withdraw from the region. The Gulf State countries could collapse, along with Israel although the latter country will receive all the support needed to continue from the USA.  

When war continues expect the possibility of even higher fuel prices, shortages, and economic collapse.

The second part of this video deals with the insane European/globalist push to attack Russia, which is accelerating their own collapse. Peace talks to end the war in Ukraine are a farce. Russia knows they need to settling things militarily or else face further fighting in the near future.

Middle East on RED ALERT. Is War Coming? (Kim Iversen)

The U.S. State Department has issued severe "Red Alert" travel warnings for 12 Middle Eastern nations as escalating Houthi attacks disrupt the region.



The Houthis have said that if they're attacked by the US they'll strike them in return. Presently they've only attacked Saudi Arabian assets.

Seyed M. Marandi: Egypt May Join Saudi War - A Wider War Is Coming (Glenn Diesen)

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi is a professor at Tehran University and a former advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiation team.



The Egyptian government is holding a vote on whether to join the conflict in the Middle East in order to help Saudi Arabia. Marandi points out that Yemen only attacked after they had been attacked.

Whatever happens the problem for the Saudis remains the same. If they maintain the war against Yemen then their oil fields and production facilities will be destroyed. Their power systems and water desalinations plants will likely also be targeted. Iran could participate in such actions if Yemen struggles. 

To avoid such a situation the Saudis must agree to terms, to a ceasefire, and have the US withdraw from their territory. 

Presently the limited Pakistani and Turkish troops in Saudi Arabia are based in the capital, to protect MBS from a coup or uprising. Will the country fall apart? Few people in Saudi Arabia support MBS including his own family. And without money coming in, how long can the regime hold together?

Meanwhile the failing global economy is putting pressure on all countries and may put an end to any prolonged fighting.

MBS Runs Out of Options; Burnham Blames Iran (The Duran)

MBS is reportedly moving between bunkers as the Houthis push deeper into Yemen and warn Saudi civilians to evacuate oil installations. In this episode we break down why no ally will send ground troops, why Iran's mediation offer is a nonstarter, and why Trump faces enormous pressure to intervene despite Houthi warnings to stay out, before turning to Andy Burnham blaming Iran for the RAF Fairford incident. Is Saudi Arabia running out of options, and is Burnham turning out to be even worse than Starmer?



The reluctance of the US to intervene is likely because they will suffer casualties right before the Mid Term elections.

Does Trump Join a War the Saudis Can't Finish? /Col Doug Macgregor (Daniel Davis)

If the US fully engages in war against Yemen, Iran is sure to back them up via missile strikes against the attacking forces against their staging areas. Whichever way the US turns in the region they face military defeat at the hands of missile and drone strikes. 

The second part of the interview deals with claims that NATO can defeat Russia. Macgregor points out that this is false. He also points out that Russia has no intention of attacking NATO in any event. They simply want to deal with the threat posed by the neo-Nazi/neocons based in Ukraine (while being prepared to actually take on NATO forces directly if necessary).

Saudi Arabia Can't Stop the Houthis. Guess Who Wants In? /Patrick Henningsen (Daniel Davis)

There are two major things in play with what's going on in the world today, and they are that these wars are part of the Grand Chess Board idea to gain, or deny, control over resources in Central Asia and the Middle East, to thwart China and Russia, plus actions that serve the interests of the Israeli neocons. Henningsen points out that recent actions from the US (Israelis) are tantamount to organised crime - a protection racket/extortion, demanding compliance or else suffer the consequences.

Pepe Escobar: Iran & Yemen Escalate – The House of Saud Will Collapse (Glenn Diesen)

Pepe Escobar is a journalist, a political analyst, and author.



Pepe points out that the US needs to end the war against Iran or it will end Trump's Presidency. As things stand the Republicans are set to lose big time in the Mid Term Elections. If the war continues it won't only be the House of Saud that falls. In both instances, of the US vs Iran, and Saudi Arabia vs Yemen, it was Trump and MBS who initiated the fighting, and are now in no win situations. The only option now is to follow the demands of Iran and Yemen to end the conflict. 

As things stand, the fighting is going to continue, and an economic calamity will result.

Seyed M. Marandi: US-Iran War Inevitable: Kuwait and Bahrain May Fall (Glenn Diesen)

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi is a professor at Tehran University and a former advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiation team.



Nothing has changed as far as the war is concerned. Iran wants to maintain control of the Strait of Hormuz and wants the US to leave the region. They also want the Israelis to cease their operations against their neighbours. Militarily the US cannot 'win' unless it uses weapons of mass destruction. No matter what happens an economic calamity is on the way with the shortage of oil. The Saudi attack on Yemen has been folly. None of the Gulf State countries are in a good position here. Marandi talks about the wide range of competing groups in play in the region, and the fact that the allies of Iran are in the strongest position. Terrorist groups backed by the US/Israel, such as in Syria, are on flimsy ground over the longer term.

Saudi Crisis as Houthis Advance; MBS Needs Boots on the Ground (The Duran)

The Houthis are advancing in Yemen and Saudi Arabia is facing its most dangerous crisis in a century. With Taiz reportedly encircled, MBS pleading for ground troops that Turkey, Pakistan and Syria will not send, and Trump still undecided on a new Iran operation, they argue the real Middle East flashpoint is no longer Iran or Hormuz but the stability of the Saudi kingdom itself. Can diplomacy with the US, Russia and China save MBS, or did his bet on Trump over BRICS cost him everything?



The US, or any other country, cannot defeat Iran but they might be able to defend the territory of Saudi Arabia from invasion and negotiate a truce. Advancing Yemeni ground forces in Saudi Arabia can easily be destroyed from the air. What cannot be stopped is drone and missile bombardment coming from both Yemen and their ally Iran. So a truce is the likely outcome. If US strikes do extend beyond defending Saudi Arabia, to striking Yemen then both Yemen and Iran can strike Saudi oil fields and power stations. Declaring a truce is the most logical thing to do. If this does not happen Saudi Arabia faces a catastrophe. The same situation applies to the war against Iran. Let Iran control the Strait of Hormuz and have Israel withdraw from their current military ops. But will this actually happen?

What's likely to happen first is an economic calamity as oil supplies run low. 

Time Stamps:

00:00:00 Iran, Yemen and reports of a new US operation
00:00:48 Hormuz tightens and the drift to confrontation
00:02:58 Yemen is the real crisis as Houthis advance

HIDE THE DAMAGE, ESCALATE THE WAR /Col Doug Macgregor (Daniel Davis)

Lying about the state of affairs, when it comes to US wars, is normal. It's more of the same. But as things stand, it's obvious that the US has lost the conflict against Iran. 

Macgregor predicts that the US will launch a new strike against the Iranians that tries to hit their deep underground bunkers and punish the civilian population. Iran will obviously retaliate and the result will be an economic calamity as they knock out power and oil infrastructure in the region. He worries that the Israelis will eventually employ nuclear weapons to take out their main Middle Eastern rival. 

If Iran is not taken out then expect the demise of the Gulf State countries and the withdrawal of US forces. Will Turkey, Egypt or Pakistan intervene to protect Islamic holy sites if Saudi Arabia collapses?

When it comes to the war in Ukraine, it's likely that the Russians will continue their grinding operation and wait as Europe implodes under mass migration, rioting, and also economic collapse. In the end the globalists have doomed themselves. They expect to be able to manage the situation but things will almost certainly spiral out of control.

Russia FINALLY Takes the GLOVES OFF: Proof Putin is LISTENING to His People | Col. Doug Macgregor (Rachel Blevins)

Russia is ramping up strikes across Ukraine, as the U.S. is preparing for another round of war against Iran. President Trump can’t seem to make up his mind as to who he should blame for the soaring energy costs Americans are beginning to face, as he tries to use one losing conflict to distract from another.

Ret. U.S. Army Col. Douglas Macgregor noted that Russia’s recent escalation in strikes is proof President Putin is listening to the Russian people, as frustration builds over Kiev’s attempted drone attacks. He also said it’s “obvious” the U.S. is preparing for more war against Iran, and the threat of Israel using nuclear weapons is still on the table.



Macgregor points out that there is no realistic plan to take out Russia or to win against Iran, and that attacking them is folly - that Trump has little idea when it comes to these matters. He says it's a repeat of past military interventions. He suspects that the only reason these wars have gone ahead is due to Israeli influence. 

The ultimate goal for the Iranians is to have the US expelled from the Middle East, and that the war of attrition in Ukraine is on its last legs. Russia has no choice now but to take over all of Ukraine and to annex the southern region.     

The video also covers the up coming firing squad execution of an Islamist US military officer who killed 13 service personnel in 2009. Macgregor argues that firing squads have traditionally been reserved for infractions in which a level of honour is still on the table, and that the appropriate method here should be hanging.

Seyed M. Marandi: If Saudi Arabia Collapses, the Entire Region Will Transform (Glenn Diesen)

Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi is a professor at Tehran University and a former advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiation team.



Marandi points out that Saudi Arabia, under the rule of MBS, who acts like a tyrant, has steered itself into disaster. Any Saudi attacks on Yemen will likely receive retaliation from Iran also. They're headed off a cliff. 

The interview goes on to cover the US being kicked out of Iran friendly Iraq and the extremist rule in Syria. The bottom line is that the Gulf State countries are fragile and that further conflict may result in their demise. All roads lead to an economic calamity.

Saudis Fighting ISRAEL’S WAR in Yemen: Ansar Allah Hits Back with NO-FLY ZONE | Robert Inlakesh (Rachel Blevins)

Ansar Allah has declared a “No-Fly Zone” over Saudi Arabia, as the Kingdom announced the start of a new operation involving 100 fighter jets, targeting the Yemeni Armed Forces along the Red Sea coastline.

Independent Journalist Robert Inlakesh noted that not only is Saudi Arabia fighting “ISRAEL’S WAR” for them, but they appear to be fighting “to the last drop of oil,” as the economic consequences of the U.S. war of aggression against Iran continue to mount.

A reminder that while the Axis of Resistence continues to fight back, the future looks increasingly bleak for the U.S. and Israel’s vassals in the Persian Gulf...

Trump's Foreign Policy Up Against a World That Won't Bend: Patrick Henningsen (Daniel Davis)

Henningsen points out that one of the biggest shocks from Trump's anti-Iran UN speech is the lack of push back from everyone else on the world stage. The overall situation remains the same. The US needs to back down and accept Iran's terms but they simply won't because of Trump's intransigence and Israeli influence. 

However, Trump's over-the-top attitude is actually exposing the truth about US-Israeli gangsterism. Is the intention to ultimately have the US lose, and withdraw from world affairs? The resulting economic calamity, that is set to unfold, due to fuel shortages, may cause this to happen in any event. 

The video also touches on the US and Saudi Arabia using al Qaeda forces as proxies in the region, and that they are unable to use them effectively in Yemen, as opposed to their operations in Syria; and that the US is not a neutral negotiator when it comes to the war in Ukraine. Russia cannot accept anything less than the total defeat of the Ukrainian military or face further war in the near future. The big danger with the conflict in Europe is political moves to expand the fighting to directly include NATO, likely through a false flag attack.

The Next Phase of Both Wars Much Harder to Contain: Col Doug Macgregor (Daniel Davis)

Macgregor points out that the rest of the world does not want the war against Iran. It's being driven by the US and Israelis and now oil supplies are set to run short for many nations around the world. Trump does not seem to be in control, pushed by a corrupt inner circle, and acting in his bellicose way. Commodity markets have been rigged to cover up the truth - which can only continue until reality strikes.

Joe Kent: Israel, Syria & Saudi Lose Ground & U.S. Must Exit the Region (Glen Diesen)

Joe Kent is the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, who resigned in March 2026 due to the war against Iran. Kent the Saudi-Yemen conflict, instability in Syria, Israel being overextended, and why the US must eventually leave the region.



Joe Kent is still talking about making deals in Yemen and Syria to isolate Iran, but there's a difference in that the forces in Syria were/are Western (terrorist) proxy forces. The only deal that the US needs to make with Yemen and Iran is to remove US forces from the region, and also have the Israelis stop attacking their neighbours. Once that is achieved then oil supplies should be able to resume. 

While Joe does talk about US cooperating with Syria to take on ISIS in the past, which was done in a half arsed way, he's leaving out the fact that ISIS is a proxy force for Nation States and Western Intelligence. He might not fully appreciate what happened or he is an intelligence agency plant putting out a misleading narrative. However, getting the US to leave the Middle East is the correct course of action and his comments about Oct 7 and 911, that there was at least prior knowledge, does provide some hope he's operating in the right direction.

How The Houthis STEAMROLLED Strategic Red Sea Coast (History Legends)

Breakdown of the Houthi offensive on the Red Sea coast that led to the capture of the strategic town of Mocha.



History Legends channel looking at what happened on the ground in Yemen. This is part of why there will be shortages of oil and the resulting high fuel prices. You think things are expensive right now ...

Also, while the video shows a lot of technical vehicles (pick up trucks) the Houthis also have drones and missiles, and underground mountain fortresses, which makes a Western intervention very difficult - like the situation with Iran, but they are more isolated, smaller and weaker. In the past French forces successfully intervened in Mali, but the complexities here, and scale, make such an expedition more dangerous.

Saudi Nightmare: Houthis Seize Red Sea As Pipeline Burns (The Duran)

Saudi Arabia is facing its greatest crisis since the founding of the kingdom, as Houthi forces seize the Red Sea coast and a crippling strike knocks out the East West pipeline, cutting off nearly all Saudi oil exports. In this episode we break down why Trump is leaving MBS out to dry, and what an all out war on Iran after the midterms could mean for global energy markets. Is Washington quietly preparing to go all in against Iran once the midterms are over?



Whether or not there is a big attack on Iran, hitting their infrastructure and power systems, as opposed to just their military, there's going to be an economic disaster since oil supplies will run low in any event. The question is, what political forces will win out when it comes to this sort of escalation? Will it happen, or not? If de-escalation happens then there will still be very big problems, but a shorter window to when it comes to rebuilding energy supply.

U.S. Running Out of Ways to End Iran War (Daniel Davis)

Professor Marandi appearing on the Daniel Davis channel.

The headline for this video is correct. The problem is that the US and Israelis are not prepared to accept terms offered by Iran. The Israelis will not stop attacking Lebanon or Gaza and the US wants control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Marandi points out that it's been the US-Israeli side that have broken negotiated agreements to stop the fighting multiple times. No deals can therefore be made with the US regarding Iran where the only way the situation will be resolved is if the US actually physically withdraws from the region.

With no other choice Iran is going on the offensive to target the US in the region, hitting their economic assets, and also their allies. Marandi points out that Iran doesn't need to strike tankers coming through the Strait to stop oil shipments but can directly hit oil installations. So far they have held off doing so (to prevent a global economic calamity), but will strike if they are attacked in a similar fashion.   

The war between Yemen and Saudi Arabia is another front in this conflict. Already some oil infrastructure has been hit by the Yemenis - and if things continue, the Gulf States will no longer be viable in their present forms. Oil prices on the open market are heading toward 150 dollars per barrel and will go much higher if this continues, with money going to other producers, and none to the Gulf region.

Whichever way you look at the situation the end result seems to be a loss for the US, the Gulf States and probably Israel (that has guaranteed US economic support in any event).
