Transcript [00:01] There is a lot going on on the Iran war [00:04] front. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth [00:07] just arrived in Israel for a sudden [00:09] unannounced visit. [00:11] And meanwhile, the the army chief in [00:14] Pakistan just took off a few minutes ago [00:17] to fly out to Tehran. Everyone is [00:20] stirring, let's say, and it looks like [00:23] we might be headed for escalation. What [00:25] we're going to do in this video is first [00:28] we're going to take a look at how [00:29] Iranian state media, Iranian propaganda [00:32] media, is describing the current [00:34] situation. And then we're going to turn [00:36] our attention to the headlines and [00:38] what's going on in [00:40] in [00:41] Western media, as it were, or Israeli [00:43] media. Let's take a look. Right, let's [00:45] start with Iranian state media. Here we [00:47] go. And if you're new to the channel, I [00:48] always read Iranian state media. We read [00:51] it critically. We understand that it is [00:53] phony propaganda. So, please hold off on [00:56] the comments telling me not to read [00:57] Iranian state media. I'll say this [00:59] again. The value of reading media that [01:03] is state-run from totalitarian regimes [01:07] is that it's state-run and there's no [01:09] freedom of the press. Why is that [01:11] valuable? Because you can if you read it [01:14] carefully, if you read between the [01:16] lines, you know what this totalitarian [01:19] regime is trying to message. You can get [01:21] a sense of where they're trying to push [01:23] the narrative, and you can you can sense [01:26] you can see their strategy in what they [01:29] put in the media, okay? So, it's not a [01:30] waste of time to read it. Actually, very [01:32] important. All right, let's hit it. So, [01:34] the on the front page of WANA today. [01:36] It's always interesting to see what they [01:38] put on the front page. And the front [01:40] page story today [01:41] is this. What lies beneath the Strait of [01:44] Hormuz? Iran's seven-cable reminder to [01:49] its adversaries. So, this is an item. [01:51] And this is their top story today. [01:53] And it's in the foreign policy section. [01:56] And it is what lies beneath the Strait [01:59] of Hormuz. Right, so this is about the [02:01] internet cables that run through the [02:02] Strait of Hormuz. Let's take a look at [02:04] what they're saying here. Seven undersea [02:06] cables in the Strait of Hormuz form part [02:07] of the world's communication [02:09] infrastructure, carrying internet, [02:11] financial, and commercial data between [02:13] countries, and playing a vital role in [02:15] maintaining global digital connectivity. [02:18] The spokesman The spokesperson for the [02:20] Iran's Islamic Islamic Revolutionary [02:22] Guard Corps, the IRGC, referring to [02:25] seven major cables that pass beneath the [02:27] Strait of Hormuz, highlighted the [02:29] world's dependence on these links for [02:31] internet and commercial data. He said [02:34] the point was being reiterated to make [02:36] Iran's adversaries aware of this [02:38] dependence. Undersea cables are [02:41] essentially extremely thin strands of [02:43] optical fiber that transmit data. [02:46] Because these glass fibers are fragile, [02:48] they're surrounded by several protective [02:49] layers, including plastic coatings, to [02:52] prevent physical damage and reinforced [02:54] metal layers designed to withstand water [02:56] pressure and tension. More than 90% [03:00] of international internet communications [03:02] travel through these cables. Satellites [03:04] are not a suitable replacement because [03:06] they offer lower capacity, higher [03:08] latency, and greater costs. Messaging, [03:11] video calls, online banking, cloud [03:13] services, and a large share of [03:15] technology companies' operations all [03:17] rely on this infrastructure, this [03:19] underwater infrastructure. Because of [03:21] its geographical location, the Strait of [03:23] Hormuz is an important gateway [03:25] connecting Persian Gulf countries to the [03:27] global internet network. Several [03:29] undersea cable systems pass through the [03:31] strait and its surrounding waters, [03:33] linking Persian Gulf countries to [03:35] international routes extending toward [03:37] India, East Asia, Africa, and Europe. [03:40] Countries such as the UAE, Qatar, [03:42] Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Saudi Arabia [03:44] rely on a combination of undersea cables [03:47] and terrestrial routes for their [03:48] international communications. According [03:51] to mapping and analytical data from [03:53] sources such as TeleGeography and [03:55] submarine networks, between five and [03:57] seven major cable systems pass through [03:59] the Strait of Hormuz and its surrounding [04:01] waters. [04:03] The data passing through the Strait of [04:04] Hormuz is not only everyday internet [04:07] traffic, it also carries valuable [04:08] financial and commercial information, [04:11] financial transactions, stock market [04:13] trades, financial messaging services, [04:15] and the SWIFT system. [04:18] Much of the region's commercial activity [04:19] depends on digital networks. Some [04:21] estimates place the value of [04:22] transactions and data carried through [04:24] this infrastructure at tens of trillions [04:27] of dollars. [04:29] Companies such as Google, Microsoft, [04:30] Amazon, and Meta use under undersea [04:33] cables to connect their local network [04:35] nodes to global infrastructure. This [04:37] traffic includes synchronization of [04:39] distributed databases, etc., etc. [04:43] And a disruption of widespread outage [04:45] affecting these cables could interfere [04:48] with synchronization between data [04:50] centers in the Middle East, Europe, and [04:51] Asia. And it could affect cloud [04:54] computing, [04:55] Amazon Web Services, [04:58] and then it talks about how difficult it [05:00] is to repair these cables, that the [05:02] process could take several weeks [05:04] once they get damaged. [05:07] Ultimately, the importance of the [05:08] undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz [05:09] extends far beyond everyday internet [05:11] access. These cables are part of the [05:13] infrastructure connecting the region's [05:15] financial, commercial, and technological [05:17] systems to the global network. Any [05:19] disruption could have consequences [05:21] extending well beyond the Persian Gulf. [05:23] So, what is this story about? It's [05:25] pretty obvious. [05:27] Look, they've lost control of the Strait [05:29] of Hormuz. They still claim they're [05:30] controlling it and they're occasionally [05:32] hitting a ship, [05:33] but they they don't really control it. [05:35] Uh there are Again, there are ships [05:38] being hit. The price of oil is still [05:39] pretty high, [05:40] but they're running out of cards to [05:42] play. [05:43] So, this is a card. This is like a uh [05:47] it's a doomsday type card that they [05:48] could play and they're warning they want [05:51] to put a scare into all the Gulf states [05:54] who rely so heavily on the internet [05:56] cables that run under the Strait of [05:58] Hormuz saying this is one more target [06:01] that we have at our disposal. We could [06:02] damage the cables. Okay, that's So let's [06:05] let's keep that in mind. It's going to [06:07] come up later on in a new story I'm [06:09] going to show you. Now in addition to [06:11] that warning we have this item from [06:13] yesterday. IRGC spokesman Iran's missile [06:15] and drone capabilities have increased [06:17] one and a half fold. I'm not sure I [06:18] believe this, but this is the type of [06:20] messaging you have here. In fact, if you [06:22] go to the front page of [06:24] Wana, if we go back there and just take [06:25] a look at These are the six top stories [06:28] that they're running. Look at this. One [06:30] of them is that one. Iran's missile [06:31] drone capabilities have increased one [06:33] and a half fold. Next one, if Trump [06:35] strikes again, is the US ready for [06:36] Iran's response? [06:38] Then they have a piece on [06:40] AI. And then America's mother of all [06:43] bombs versus Iran's father of all [06:46] missiles, war closer than ever. [06:49] Strikes on super tankers, Iran's new [06:51] equation in the Strait of Hormuz, and [06:53] Qalibaf, US must be punished and change [06:55] its behavior. So five out of the six top [06:57] stories here, plus the top headline, so [06:59] six out of seven [07:01] are all warnings. [07:03] They're all like tough talk warnings. [07:05] They're they are um [07:08] Now, does this mean that they want to [07:10] escalate? Not necessarily. [07:13] It the saber-rattling could actually [07:14] mean the opposite. It could mean that [07:16] they actually that that this is their [07:18] attempt at deterrence. [07:21] To try to put a scare. [07:23] But it's certain that they are expecting [07:25] escalation and they're warning of what [07:28] they will do in the event of any [07:30] escalation. So right, so we have them [07:31] talking about how they've increased [07:33] their their missile capabilities, which [07:35] is I don't necessarily believe, like I [07:37] said. [07:38] Uh they also included a line in this [07:40] piece that they're also warning that US [07:43] even a limited US military action could [07:46] trigger a worse global energy crisis. [07:50] According to the IRGC spokesman, [07:51] production of missiles, drones, and [07:53] other military equipment has not stopped [07:55] during the conflict and continued to [07:57] expand. He cited improvements in range, [07:59] accuracy, and destructive power [08:02] alongside the development of new [08:03] weapons. Now, I don't I don't buy that, [08:05] right? And what they've been developing [08:06] new weapons after all of the destruction [08:08] America caused them? Highly unlikely, [08:10] but it's definitely what they are [08:11] claiming. And then of course that piece [08:13] I mentioned before, America's mother of [08:14] all bombs versus Iran's father of all [08:17] missiles, war closer than ever. And this [08:19] is just this is just a a piece of tough [08:22] talk. It's trash talk. [08:24] But in the middle of it, they include [08:26] they always do this in their in these [08:28] pieces. One of the trends [08:30] and I read Iranian media every day. One [08:32] of their idiosyncrasies [08:34] is they'll [clears throat] include in [08:36] their in their pieces [08:38] these [08:40] the best way to put it is [08:43] thinking out loud. They'll put in like [08:45] this is what the strategy could be or it [08:47] could be this or it could be that and [08:48] they'll share a bunch of different [08:49] possibilities of strategy. And I think [08:52] that they do this as a way of showing [08:54] how smart they are and saving face so [08:56] that down the road they can always say [08:58] they knew what was coming. But it's a [09:00] it's a very it's a very interesting [09:02] idiosyncrasy of Iranian state media that [09:04] they like to talk strategy [09:07] uh in in these pieces. So, take a look [09:08] at this. Trump is increasingly faced [09:10] with the question of whether escalating [09:12] the confrontation would achieve his [09:14] intended objectives or instead drive [09:17] energy prices even higher and put [09:19] additional pressure on the US economy. [09:21] In these circumstances, Iran's missile [09:24] capabilities and the regional [09:25] consequences of any attack are factors [09:28] that cannot be ignored in military and [09:29] political calculations. Now, that second [09:32] part about Iran's capabilities, [09:34] whatever, take that with a grain of [09:35] salt. I don't think Iran has such [09:37] capabilities because the amount that [09:40] they've been firing over the last couple [09:41] months is very very minimal. Like they [09:44] Yes, they had that those strikes in [09:46] Jordan and a little bit in Kuwait. But [09:49] I don't think they have significant [09:51] missile capabilities at this point. [09:52] We'll see. Probably we'll see. But the [09:55] first part is interesting where they're [09:57] laying out that that the question for [09:59] Trump is whether escalation will [10:01] actually achieve his objectives or raise [10:04] energy prices. That's true. That is [10:06] Trump's dilemma. Ultimately the issue is [10:08] not simply what weapons the United [10:09] States possesses or how Iran would [10:11] respond. The central question is whether [10:13] Washington can achieve its objectives [10:15] without imposing even [10:17] even greater costs on itself and the [10:19] global economy. That's that's a [10:22] you know, that's probably an accurate [10:25] read of of the situation. [10:28] Meanwhile, we have warnings against [10:30] Israel. This This was yesterday. IRGC [10:33] warns of turning Israel into scorched [10:35] earth. [10:36] Whoa. The spokesman for the Islamic [10:38] Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that [10:40] any attack on Iran's energy [10:41] infrastructure would prompt a response [10:43] that would turn the occupied [10:44] territories, that's Israel, into [10:46] scorched earth and drive the occupiers [10:49] into the desert. Brigadier General [10:51] Hossein Mohebi said this. [10:54] Um [10:55] Any attack on Iran's infrastructure, [10:56] although it will it will be repaired [10:58] immediately by our young scientists, [11:00] will turn the occupied territories into [11:02] scorched earth forever and drive their [11:04] usurpers into the Sinai desert, Mohebi [11:07] stated. The world will see what happens, [11:09] he added. Okay, so they're [11:11] saber-rattling at Israel. [11:14] And it So that's what we see in Iranian [11:15] state media. So that's all I wanted to [11:17] show you from from the from Iranian [11:19] state media outlets. [11:21] Uh and [11:24] What do we see from that? We see that [11:26] they are very nervous about escalation. [11:29] They're throwing out threats, threats to [11:32] to sever the internet cables, [11:34] uh threats that they have increased [11:37] missile capabilities that they didn't [11:38] even have before, and threatening Israel [11:41] that they're going to go scorched earth [11:42] on them. And meanwhile, we have this. [11:45] This is from This is from the Jerusalem [11:47] Post yesterday. US Israel weigh renewed [11:50] strikes on Iran as experts warn renewed [11:53] conflict may be inevitable. President [11:56] Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister [11:57] Benjamin Netanyahu have said they don't [11:59] want to see a renewal of the war against [12:01] Iran, they are issuing stark public [12:03] warnings to Tehran [12:05] that could bring the simmering conflict [12:07] to a boil. A third US aircraft carrier [12:09] is expected to arrive in the Middle East [12:11] soon. They're still coming. [12:14] Amid signs that Washington is preparing [12:15] for a possible resumption of hostilities [12:18] even though Israel's October 27th [12:20] election and the American midterms on [12:22] November 3rd are looming. In multiple [12:24] interviews, including with Channel 14, [12:27] that's in Israel, Netanyahu stressed [12:29] that, quote, "If Iran makes a mistake [12:31] and tries to attack us, it will simply [12:33] make the mistake of its life." But he [12:35] added, "It's not convenient for us for [12:37] war to resume weeks before a national [12:39] election in a country with no absentee [12:42] voting." [12:43] Trump, for his part, told reporters in [12:45] Atlanta last week, "Wait till you see [12:47] what we do to Iran." [12:50] Without a diplomatic settlement, the [12:51] chances of escalation are very high. [12:53] Danny Citrinowicz, a senior researcher [12:55] at the Institute for National Security [12:57] Studies, told JTA. [12:59] Amos Yadlin, a former senior Israeli [13:01] security official and an expert on Iran, [13:04] said that Trump has said that he won't [13:05] attack before the midterm elections. And [13:07] I think he had good has good reasons to [13:09] hold off. He stressed, however, that the [13:11] risk of escalation certainly exists. [13:13] We're in a situation where both sides [13:15] continue to exert pressure on each other [13:18] without any lasting agreement in place. [13:20] Everyone's on edge, and all it would [13:22] take is one significant incident to send [13:24] things spiraling out of control. [13:27] The New York Times reported that [13:29] officials in the Trump administration [13:30] had discussed a short, intense campaign [13:33] lasting about 3 days focused on Iran's [13:35] missile and drone arsenal, potentially [13:38] alongside strikes on energy [13:40] infrastructure, and here you go, Islamic [13:43] Revolutionary Guard Corps headquarters. [13:45] How long have I been saying this? [13:49] If you watch this channel, you know that [13:50] I've been saying for many, many months [13:53] that striking energy infrastructure [13:55] uh [13:57] striking bridges fine, you you want to [13:59] strike Iran, I'm in favor of striking [14:01] Iran, but if you want to win the war, [14:03] you want to actually want to bring down [14:04] the regime, you want to actually bring [14:06] about change, you want to bring the [14:07] people back out into the streets, you [14:09] have to go after the IRGC. You have to [14:12] go after go You have to go after the [14:13] Basij. You have to hit their [14:14] headquarters. This is what I've been [14:16] saying. This is the way [14:18] to do it. [14:19] Um The Atlantic reported that the White [14:21] House has asked the Pentagon to develop [14:23] strike options against Iranian targets [14:25] that could be carried out ahead of the [14:27] midterm elections. [14:28] Quote, "A 3-day campaign that would, for [14:30] example, include a strike on Pickaxe [14:32] Mount would allow Trump to say that he [14:34] had obliterated Iran's nuclear project, [14:36] won the war, and was ending the [14:37] conflict." Sentry would said. "That is [14:39] one option. Another is to strike Iranian [14:42] infrastructure facilities." He [14:43] cautioned, however, that even a planned [14:46] 3-day campaign and it breaks off [14:48] uh they some other some flaw in the [14:51] article here, meaning that it might not [14:53] it might not be uh [14:54] it might not achieve the goals. Now, [14:56] I'll also add in [14:58] that the Iranians [15:01] Okay, let's back up. The Iranians have [15:02] not attacked Israel for the last bunch [15:04] of months. [15:05] Why? So, we've talked about this many [15:07] times because they are terrified of [15:09] bringing the Israelis back into the war. [15:11] However, [15:12] they might miscalculate because of the [15:14] election. You see, I was reading in a [15:16] different state media piece on on WANA, [15:19] an Iranian state media, that they were [15:21] talking about the Israeli election [15:24] and they were saying that BB's very he's [15:25] a very unstable situation and it's very [15:27] unstable in Israel. They kept using the [15:29] word unstable to talk about Israel's [15:32] uh political situation. [15:34] And they could miss [15:37] misunderstand [15:40] the consensus [15:43] regarding Iran that exists in Israel. [15:45] Even though there's a lot of it's [15:47] certainly a very hotly contested [15:49] election and there are policy issues [15:51] that the opposition [15:53] and Netanyahu's coalition disagree on, [15:56] but dealing with Iran and how to deal [15:57] with them is not one of them and the [15:58] military will still function 100%. [16:01] So, there [16:03] they might be miscalculating [16:06] because in their world leaders are like [16:08] the sole decide you know, deciders. [16:11] Um so it could be. It could be that they [16:14] think that there's more instability [16:15] around an election in Israel than there [16:17] actually is and that could lead to a [16:18] miscalculation. Uh which is what they [16:21] were talking about in this article that [16:22] a miscalculation could ignite things [16:24] because tensions are very high. That's [16:26] the point of this video and to top it [16:28] off this this story just dropped. This [16:31] is today. Netanyahu Heggseth hold covert [16:34] meeting at Israel's Ovda airbase days [16:36] before Israel's election. US Defense [16:38] Secretary Pete Heggseth and Prime [16:40] Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met in [16:41] Israel on Monday two sources confirmed [16:44] on Tuesday. [16:46] US sources confirmed to the Jerusalem [16:48] Post that representatives of the United [16:49] Arab Emirates were not present at the [16:51] meeting following reports indicating [16:53] otherwise. [16:55] The leaders met at the Ovda airbase in [16:57] southern Israel where the US deploys [16:59] refueling planes and fighter jets. Ooh. [17:03] The US has fighter jets at an airbase in [17:05] Israel. Axios cited two sources as [17:08] saying. [17:09] Heggseth also he also met with troops. [17:11] Okay, so Heggseth came to Israel. Now, [17:13] why did Heggseth come to Israel? [17:16] So, let's keep this in mind that they [17:17] made [17:19] We know that this visit happened. [17:23] If this was just a like planning for [17:25] escalation and war, it wouldn't have to [17:27] be Hexeth. It could be one of the [17:28] generals, and we wouldn't necessarily [17:30] know about it. [17:31] The fact is it's Hexeth. [17:33] So, it's like, oh, it's a secret [17:35] meeting. It [17:36] A covert meeting is not a headline. [17:38] Okay, we know about it. [17:42] It could be that this is part of [17:44] a potential escalation, or it could be [17:46] deterrence to the Iranians, [17:49] showing our readiness, [17:51] making it seem like we're about to [17:52] attack. I I'm not sure how to read this [17:55] visit. It could also have to do with the [17:57] elections. It could be, you know, like [17:59] Trump sent J.D. Vance to Hungary to help [18:02] out Orbán before his election. It could [18:04] be that he's sending Hexeth over here [18:06] right after endorsing Netanyahu to kind [18:08] of, you know, continue the narrative of [18:11] that endorsement. The narrative of the [18:13] endorsement, here's what I mean. [18:15] The narrative of Trump's endorsement is [18:19] that we have two more years left of [18:20] Trump. We have unfinished business with [18:22] Iran, Hezbollah, et cetera, Gaza, [18:24] and we need Netanyahu, [18:27] who's like Trump's buddy and wingman, we [18:29] need Netanyahu as prime minister in [18:31] order to work with Trump for the next 2 [18:33] years. That's the messaging that [18:34] Netanyahu has ramped up in the last few [18:36] days. That coin- That messaging ramp up [18:40] has coincided with Trump's [18:42] endorsement, which also said that in the [18:45] endorsement that he that he not sure [18:48] he'll be able to work with a different [18:50] leader in Israel, and and that he wants [18:52] to continue the job with Bibi. And now [18:54] [snorts] he sends Pete Hexeth over here. [18:55] So, this might be part of the of the [18:57] election campaign, or it might be a real [18:59] sign of potential, [19:01] uh, you know, readiness for escalation. [19:04] Meanwhile, also today, and this dropped [19:06] literally right before I started I was [19:08] preparing this video right before I was [19:09] getting ready to record, I just wanted [19:11] to check some more headlines, and I saw [19:12] this like literally in the last hour or [19:14] two, Pakistan's army chief flew to [19:17] Tehran. [19:18] Chief of staff [19:20] of Pakistan field field marshal Syed [19:23] Asim Munir has departed for Tehran to [19:26] meet with high-ranking Iranian [19:27] officials, an informed diplomatic source [19:29] told IRNA. By the way, when you see a [19:30] name of of a leader in one of these [19:32] Muslim countries where it has Syed [19:34] before his name, you have this also with [19:36] the foreign minister of Iran, Araghchi, [19:39] and you always have it, of course, with [19:41] the Ayatollah, with Mojtaba Khamenei. [19:43] Syed is a is a word that that means that [19:47] the person in question can trace their [19:50] lineage back to Muhammad. By the way, [19:52] that's what it means. Okay, by the way, [19:53] that's just a side point. The source [19:55] confirmed that Munir left Islamabad [19:58] moments ago today, which will be his [20:00] fifth official visit to the Islamic [20:01] Republic since Pakistan began its [20:03] mediation efforts to end the joint [20:05] US-Israeli imposed war on Iran earlier [20:07] this year. This is from Iranian state [20:09] media, by the way. [20:10] Pakistan and Iran have intensified their [20:12] high-level consultations on mutual [20:13] interests ever since. [20:15] Meanwhile, a Pakistan army spokesperson [20:17] on Monday emphasized his country's [20:19] efforts in maintaining communication [20:21] channels with all regional actors, [20:23] including Iran, adding that military [20:26] escalation in West Asia serves no one's [20:28] interests and that the solution lies [20:30] solely in diplomacy and negotiations. [20:32] That's the point of this piece. That's [20:34] why Munir is there. Munir flew off there [20:37] because they're concerned, and the [20:40] Pakistanis are doing what they've been [20:41] doing since the beginning of this war, [20:43] which is trying to get [20:45] trying to save the Iranian Republic and [20:47] get the Americans to back off and come [20:49] to some sort of negotiated settlement. [20:51] That's what led to that ridiculous MOU [20:54] that lasted about 10 minutes. And [20:57] who else is is always trying to tamp [20:59] things down and doesn't want to bring [21:01] down the regime? Qatar. And sure enough, [21:03] what do we have from today? This is just [21:05] from like an hour ago. [21:07] Qatar says you Iran US contact continues [21:10] and war does not have a military [21:12] solution. Qatar has said the [21:14] communication between Iran and the US is [21:15] continuing emphasizing that the conflict [21:18] must be resolved through negotiation and [21:20] warning that there's no military [21:21] solution. What [21:23] What is this? Why are they putting out [21:24] this statement? [21:26] Why are they putting out this statement [21:27] today? This is They could have put out [21:29] this statement any day for the last 6 [21:32] months. [21:33] Communication continues and the conflict [21:35] must be resolved through negotiation [21:37] because everyone is panicking. Everyone [21:39] sees the escalation coming. [21:41] This is also today. Bear this in mind. [21:43] Qatar puts out this statement today. [21:46] Pakistani army chief flies out to Tehran [21:48] today. Hagerty arrives in Israel today. [21:50] This is all or yesterday. [21:52] This is all going on in the same [21:55] 24-hour period. [21:58] And what's more, [22:00] what else is in this piece? Check this [22:01] out. [22:03] Qatar believes the crisis cannot be [22:04] resolved militarily. He added, "Mr. [22:06] Hashemi warned that the longer the [22:08] escalation continued, the greater the [22:09] cost to the region, the global economy, [22:11] energy supplies." He also warned that [22:13] the threats to cut internet cables in [22:15] the Strait of Hormuz, along with [22:17] incidents involving sea mines and oil [22:19] spills, would primarily harm countries [22:21] in the region including Iran itself. [22:25] In other words, [22:26] Qatar is freaking out about this [22:28] potential escalation. They are freaking [22:30] out about the internet cables. [22:33] They are buying into the threat from [22:35] Iran and Qatar and Pakistan are both [22:39] frantically doing what they've been [22:40] doing throughout this war, which is [22:42] trying to tamp it down and make sure [22:45] that the Americans don't attack.
