“Good morning, friends. Welcome to our first broadcast of the day. I hope you are doing well. Let’s start this morning well informed about what’s happening in the Strait of Hormuz and in the Middle East. There is currently crossfire between the United States and Iran. They have been exchanging missiles in the Ormus strait for practically hours now.”
“We’re talking about drone attacks and crossfire between US forces and what are reported to be Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, responding to each other in an escalation that has already resulted in injuries and deaths on both sides, as acknowledged at this time. Of course, yesterday we mentioned this to close our broadcasts, information that had been initially denied, but now we’ve learned that there are also US casualties.”
“Military infrastructure, of course, destroyed, that is undeniable, and above all dozens of US ships deployed on one of the most vital maritime routes on the planet and which are now already opening fire. At what specific point? Well, we’re talking about Cuesp Island, which is the largest island in the Persian Gulf.”
“It is the island where US planes launched at least two cruise missiles against a drone control station. There are also reports of attacks against coastal defense positions belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Of course Iran is not remaining silent, it is also attacking. On the other side, Iran responded with a barrage of projectiles against targets, especially in Bahrain and Kuwait, including US military bases.”
“And in addition to claiming a US ship that they named Panaya, which is a ship that, as of the closing of this transmission when we were still reporting on this, investigating, does not appear registered in any official database of the United States Navy. Now, I think it’s important to clarify this, friends.”
“The fact that we don’t see this supposed Panamanian ship among the list of, well, ships belonging to the United States, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. Remember that one of the most important strategies that even the American press has boasted about is that in recent days the United States has managed to cross the Strait of Hormus with ghost ships.”
“In other words, what they are doing is erasing their names, changing their flags, what they carry, removing their transponders so they can cross the strait without being detected by Iran, and they go right next to Oman. So, now we find it very interesting to see the alleged capture of this vessel with a name that doesn’t exist, but the images of the vessel are indeed real.”
“Well, we’re already talking about an actual exchange of fire with casualties on both sides. We’re talking about defense systems that are activated, missiles that are being shot down, and at least four members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Injuries reported in Iranian territory. Well, this is confirmed even by the official Fars news agency, and Irna says so too.”
“The question, of course, is, well, how is it possible that this is happening just when all of this seems more than normal to me, we are at war. The problem is that the President of the United States says they are not at war. He has come out to say that the peace talks in Muscat, Oman, are still underway, without setbacks, that they are even being accelerated, and that they will soon reach a truce.”
“And yet, what we are seeing on the stage, friends, well, excuse me, but it is a rampant war, there is no way to say this or to define what is happening here except in one way. And that, of course, is an escalation. Let’s go to what’s happening first on Quest Island, because that’s where the first impacts have been reported.”
“We are talking about a territory of around 15 km² that is strategically located a few nautical miles from the coasts of Iran. This is also located directly across from Oman. I have shown you the map of Quesp on a few occasions when we talked about it. Because it is of utmost importance to understand why Donald Trump would be trying to take control of Quest Island.”
“So while I explain this crossfire situation to you, let me show you here on screen what we’re talking about. There you have it. That is Cuesp Island. That’s where the importance lies. 1500 m², I repeat, right at the exit of the Dormus Strait. In fact, you can see it exactly like that here, right? Well, we can see why it’s so important.”
“I repeat, the island plus the jewel in the crown is the longest island that Iran has and that exists in the strait according to reports from the MER agency, the US attack was concentrated in the southern sector of the island, very close to a fishing village called Basaidu. Let me also show you where this small fishing island is.”
“There you have it, right at this point of the island is where the first attacks were reported a few moments ago. It also makes sense, then, that the point from which these attacks would have originated, well, there they are already telling us about the intensity of these attacked points that belonged to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and that they maintained a drone flight control station there.”
“There is also talk of a NUR coastal missile battery, which is specifically the Iranian version of the Chinese anti-ship missile, the C802. Note how we are again talking about China practically delivering versions of cruise missiles or stealth missiles even to Iran for its defense. An operation that was carried out with two AGM 158C missiles from the United States.”
“a distinctive ammunition, because it has a long range that is designed precisely to destroy land and naval targets, just like this one. The F18 fighter jets that launched those projectiles took off from the aircraft carrier Aenhauer. It is known that by then it had already repositioned itself in the North Arabian Sea.”
“This would be outside the direct range of IR artillery, and that’s where the Aenhauer would be positioned, launching this attack that was reported a few hours ago, but well, close enough to the end to be able to launch this assault, and well, each side has its own story. The Revolutionary Guard, through its Tasnim news agency, has already confirmed that its Babar 373 air defense system managed to intercept and shoot down one of these two US missiles.”
“The curious thing is that in the United States there is no independent source that has verified this so far. We know about the launch of the US missiles, not the interception, but Iranian media are saying that there was an interception. Again, it’s important to say this because when the United States boasts of dubious, questionable interceptions, well, I’m telling you, we also don’t have any evidence up to this time of the broadcast that one of these missiles has been intercepted.”
“If they succeeded, well, then I think that will change the narrative because it means that their air defense system is once again doing a job that Iran didn’t have before. It is also reported that four members of the Revolutionary Guard were injured. There are no reports of deaths so far. Two NUR missile launchers were also destroyed, and there are reports of military communications in the area being disrupted for several hours.”
“This attack is not only on the Iranian side. This is what triggered this barrage of crossfire in the early hours of the morning. The central command, Setcom, issued a very brief statement saying that they launched proportional, precise attacks, it says, with zero damage to US infrastructure and that the standard addendum on the disposition, it says, is to continue negotiating.”
“The brief statement issued by SETCOM, a declaration that sounds, I repeat, more like we are currently witnessing an exchange of fire in a real war than a peace talk as Trump would have us believe. Okay, so, what are we seeing now? Iran also opened fire simultaneously. We were watching these two missiles fall on Quest Island, and Iran was also launching its attacks over here.”
“Iran was simultaneously opening fire a few hours ago against Bahrain and Kuwait, where the United States has military bases, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced through its information channels, launching several missiles against US military targets located in these countries. This in itself already tells us of a very significant escalation at night, and of course in Bin the target was none other than the Jufairir naval base, where the United States has deployed its naval command for practically the entire Middle East.”
“And again, I tell you that the Iranians have already taken the American base in Cubai as a piñata. It is not specified which one because as far as we know there are two in this region. But allegedly, according to Turkish intelligence sources cited by Radolu, it was a logistics facility linked to the US military.”
“They don’t give any more details. I want to believe it’s the US air base deployed in Kuwait, which has been the target of multiple attacks in recent days. And well, the result of this Iranian offensive was that at the very least, we are talking about an attack on two US bases after the attack on a launch site on Quesp Island.”
“Uh, of course, once again, here’s Setcom, the United States also has its own version. He says that these missiles did exist, that they were attacked, but that the missiles were diverted, they say, by advanced electronic warfare systems that the United States had deployed in the region. Let’s see what happens, friends. Whenever these kinds of news stories happen, we find out a few days later that there are deaths, that there is damage, but the first reaction is always absolute denial.”
“They say that of the three missiles launched towards Bahin, for example, two fell into the sea. They say it’s due to failures in their guidance system. The United States says that it was also able to intervene here with its electronic interference systems, and that the other one was intercepted in mid-flight, meaning that none of them worked, and that they stopped it with a Patriot.”
“This version seems extremely strange to me because we would be talking about Iran wasting missiles without them being accompanied by their characteristic suicide drones, which are the ones that saturate defense systems and ultimately make them hit their target. The setcom version makes no mention of an interception or drone escort.”
“That’s why I’m putting a question mark there, as well as on the supposed downing or interception of the missile that Iran says it intercepted on Quest. Well, what happened in Kuwait is different because there they say the device fell into their airspace and that it wasn’t even a missile, but they say it was one of those suicide drones of UTI origin.”
“Be careful with this, friends, because if this turns out to be true, it seems to me that it is no less serious, because it would tell us that Yemen already began attacking US positions last night. So, if what they wanted was to reassure us, well, I think this doesn’t reassure us at all. On the contrary, I think it raises an additional red flag because it means that the UTIES are already attacking the United States, and it’s not just the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.”
“For now, there’s talk of these interceptions with the Skygard systems, which are German-made, and they say that with that they prevented any damage to the American base. The first thing we concluded is that the attack on the base did occur, that the United States is somehow accepting that these attacks are real, that they did happen, but there is an element of this conflict, friends, that is particularly disconcerting, and that is the alleged Iranian attack against a US ship called Panaya, which I mentioned at the beginning,”
“because we also have to do a geopolitical analysis of that because look, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard comes out and says that it had hit that ship in waters near Hormuz as a direct response to this previous aggression by US naval helicopters against three Iranian oil tankers, which is another version, another story, another attack according to the official version, according to the Iranian media, which says that it was a vessel sailing peacefully under the flags of Panama and Tasnia, and that the names of those oil tankers published by”
“Tasnim, which are Hengam, Kish, and Dena, were reported. The problem, friends, is that no independent source has been able to corroborate the previous US attack on those vessels, because their existence is unknown. But the Panaya ship doesn’t exist either; there is no record of any of the mutual accusations made by the United States and Iran.”
“In fact, the U.S. military maritime transport command has no hull number and no deployment history in the region. There are Russian sources cited by TAS speculating that it could be an Ocean Scout-type unmanned vessel, one of those drone motherships that the CIA has been operating in the Persian Gulf for at least 2 years, which they do not officially declare as military assets, but which do exist.”
“There are Chinese sources that are also confirming or assuring that the People’s Liberation Army Navy destroyer Nanin, which was in the waters of the Gulf of Omar during the events, did electronically monitor the missile exchange and did not detect any impact against a US surface vessel. What’s the conclusion, folks? Most likely, if we look at the available evidence, we can’t just take the simplistic approach of saying, ‘Ah, Iran is pulling our leg.'”
“‘The Panaya didn’t even exist. Ah, but the United States is also involved because they’re talking about three vessels that didn’t exist.’ No, I don’t think that’s the point. The existence of the Panaya vessel, which is being suggested in some way, is one of two things: either it justifies military action, or we’re talking about a shadow vessel whose name the United States changed, whose existence they didn’t declare, and if it’s one of those unmanned AI drone carriers, then it would make sense that this is being reported by some”
“random man, someone closer to Muscat, Oman. So, at the same time that we saw missiles flying over the Persian Gulf and air defenses intercepting these suicide drones over Kuwait, diplomats were also sitting at that same table discussing agreements. Qatari sources, even cited by Aljacira,”
“They were among the first to uncover this contradiction and said, ‘Look, the attacks are not a breakdown of the diplomatic process.’ He says, ‘They are limited military signals, but the reality, friends, is that they are going at it hammer and tongs, as we say in Mexico.’ In other words, we’re seeing both sides fighting over everyone, and at the same time Donald Trump is saying that negotiations are still underway. I don’t think so; I think this conflict is already back in full swing.”
“So let’s see, folks, how this crossfire ends, or if it’s just the beginning of a new stage.”
