U.S. Begin Hunting Down IRGC Leaders In Iran – Israel Launch Strikes On Hezbollah
This is your global news channel. Amay Tusi and the United States have officially started the manhunt when it comes to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps leadership. We have an up-to-date list from the State Department. Marco Rubio is now leading this. Of course, when they talk about the State Department, they’re talking about a collaboration between the CIA and the US military.
So, Pete Hegseth’s side and Marco Rubio’s side and of course the director of the CIA and all the others. There is a fascinating situation here because the IRGC leadership—half of them are still basically out and about, but the rest of them are still in hiding. That’s why the US government will give you a reward, especially if you’re somehow watching this from Iran with Starlink satellites. You will get, I think, yeah, up to 10 million dollars.
We’re going to give you guys the latest update on what’s happening in the Middle East as the IRGC are now preparing for a ground invasion by the US military. They’ve been doing their army drills, but also we’ve just had a mysterious earthquake in the capital of Iran, in Tehran, which means that they are definitely testing something on the ground. This happens every now and then. Well, they hadn’t happened for a while. We know that they are getting absolutely desperate. Okay, let me give you guys the latest. We’re going to get your reaction live as usual.
First, let’s talk about the manhunt. This is the State Department and their website releasing their names that are now being hunted down by the United States. So the US government is now offering rewards of up to $10 million for information relating to senior figures and operations of the IRGC. So number one is Mojtaba, the ‘cardboard’ Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic. We also have the Chief of Staff to the Supreme Leader, Ali Asghar Hejazi, the Secretary of Defense Council Advisor to the Supreme Leader—again, we don’t know exactly who that is. Yahya Rahim Safavi, who is the military adviser to the general council of the Supreme Leader and the military officer chief adviser; and of course, the Secretary of Supreme National Council, Eskandar Momeni, who is the Minister of the Interior Ministry and the Director of the Intelligence Ministry of the Islamic Republic.
And of course, let’s not forget about Ahmad Vahidi, the head of the IRGC, who is actually technically in charge of the whole system right now. In Iran, they want you to think it’s Mojtaba, the cardboard supreme leader, but in reality, it’s Ahmad Vahidi. And so while the CIA and their operatives on the ground are trying to gather more intel, most of the reason that this was announced now by the US State Department is it’s not really about the manhunt. It’s to send a message. It’s to send a message to the IRGC that if you don’t want to talk—fine. This is our declaration of war again, that we are taking it to a new level. We are serious about this.
And of course, the US military continue their mobilization of the troops. I’m going to give you guys the latest update on what the Islamic Republic are actually doing when it comes to these so-called nuclear negotiations. In short, not happening. It’s done. It’s over. And President Trump is now ready to pull the trigger.
First, let’s go to the situation with the Kurds because the Kurdish separatists in Iraq who hate the Iranian people recently took weapons from President Trump. President Trump said:
‘You need to give these weapons to the Iranian people so that they can fight against the IRGC.’
The Kurdish separatists stole most of the weapons. Some of the weapons went to Iran. Most of them were stolen by the Kurds. President Trump recently said that he’s not happy with the Kurds and once again he said they have disappointed us:
‘The Kurds take, take. No weapons. They have no guns. We thought the Kurds were going to give us weapons, but the Kurds disappointed us. The Kurds take, take. They have a great reputation in Congress. Congress says, “Oh, they fight so hard.” No, they fight hard when they get paid. So, I’m very disappointed in the Kurds, but they were given—I said it wasn’t going to work, by the way. I just have to say it. I disagreed with what they did. They gave it—I said they’ll never get there. And I was right. I like to be right in this case. Too bad. But we sent some guns with ammunition and they were supposed to be delivered, but they kept it. I said they’re going to keep it. But what do I know? I’ve only been doing this a short period of time. What do I know? Go ahead.’
Essentially, this is the second time he’s mentioned that he’s a little bit angry at the Kurds. This means that the punishment is coming as well. Next time they ask for help, it’s not going to happen. Now, the President is now going to be meeting with ‘Winnie the Pooh’ in Beijing, President Xi Jinping. And before he traveled to China—obviously he’s on his way to Beijing—the US government decided to tell the media about the truth. They want the Chinese Communist Party to know that President Trump is coming and is angry and is going to have words with the president of the commies.
Essentially, the US government have now sanctioned three Chinese firms because they were feeding the Islamic Republic satellite intel on the US bases and US forces in the region. Perfect timing. The State Department has now sanctioned these companies because during Operation Epic Fury, the US bases were targeted in a very specific way and they knew something was wrong. The targets are Earth Eye, Mizar Vision, and Chang Guang. These are the satellite technology companies. Essentially at this point, they’re saying that if the Chinese were not helping the IRGC, the US bases and the US forces in the region would have had an easier time.
And despite the fact that China continued to deny the allegations that they were helping the IRGC, everybody knew they were helping them this time round. Perfect timing. The US government made this announcement just as President Trump was on his way to Beijing. It’s going to be a very, very awkward conversation, let’s just say, between the two leaders. And obviously, there’s going to be a big conversation about the war in Iran. Xi Jinping is going to keep pushing for the end of war. President Trump obviously expects it, so he knows exactly how to deal with that dictator.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei—the cardboard supreme leader—has now said that the Islamic Republic will no longer negotiate with the United States unless President Trump surrenders to five red lines and demands before even discussing anything around nuclear. The demands include ending the war before even negotiating the nuclear deal across the whole region—so not just the Americans but also Israelis defending their countries against Hezbollah and Hamas. They also demand that the Americans lift all sanctions on Iran, releasing frozen Iranian assets, and of course, as usual, pay reparations for war damages. And finally, recognizing that the Strait of Hormuz is under new management: the IRGC will be in full control.
Okay, so nothing has changed really. The only thing that’s basically changed is until now the Islamic Republic was perceived as trying to dull this and buy some time because they were technically negotiating. They were talking but the demands were the same thing. Now they’re not even bothering. And I’m going to show you why. Because there has been footage that’s been released from inside Iran. They are preparing for the next phase of this conflict which is a potential ground invasion.
Today has been a big day in this ‘Groundhog Day’ of the war in Iran and the Middle East. Number one, as I said, the US announced the sanctions on China. Two, they’ve announced the manhunt of the IRGC leaders and obviously the $10 million reward for each of the leaders. Thirdly, we now have this, which is interesting admission that it wasn’t just the United States and Israel that were hitting the IRGC in Iran. In fact, we had the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia also attacking the IRGC.
A few weeks back they didn’t say anything and everybody was wondering—so what is going on with Saudi Arabia and the UAE? They keep getting attacked and they seem to be very quiet. It’s now been officially confirmed that they were also involved in this operation, which means that now that it’s been confirmed—they basically publicized it—they know that this is the point of no return. The Islamic Republic are now furious, obviously they’re furious, which means there’s not going to be peace. There’s not going to be a deal until the end of this war.
So, the United Arab Emirates struck IRGC targets both during Operation Epic Fury and also after the ceasefire that started on the 8th of April. They hit an oil refinery on the Lavan Island. Abu Dhabi and the government, with the obviously help of the military, also coordinated with the Israeli Defense Forces on the 6th of April to hit the South Pars petrochemical complex in the south. Obviously, that was a major hit. If you guys remember, we did mention that there was a hit and nobody took responsibility at the time because it was post-ceasefire. But now we have confirmation that that was in fact the Israelis and the Emiratis working together. We also now have another attack on a power plant, which was basically a military power plant in the capital, which was also the work of Saudi Arabia and UAE.
We have someone, we have Simon in the live chat saying:
‘Tusi is a traitor to Bangladesh.’
Hang on. Don’t you technically have to be part of something to be a traitor to it? Like for example, if I were from Bangladesh, then I would be—and if I act against Bangladesh, I’ll be a traitor to Bangladesh. If I’m not from Bangladesh, I will be the enemy of Bangladesh. Hypothetically, I don’t even care about Bangladesh. I don’t really think about the existence of Bangladesh. That was the most fascinating troll comment by Simon, whose name is definitely not Simon. It’s probably Sadiq.
But most likely at this point, President Trump—going back to him—as he was leaving to go to meet with ‘Winnie the Pooh’ in China, he also said that we will win this war either peacefully or otherwise.
‘Do you think he needs to intervene at all with the Iranians? Think he can help in any way?’
‘No, I don’t think we need any help with Iran. We’ll win it one way or the other. We’ll win it. We’ll win it peacefully or otherwise. Their navy’s gone, their air force is gone. Every single element of their war machine is gone. They’ve killed a lot of people. They’ve killed 42,000 people at least over the last month and a half. We’re going to win. No matter how you cut it. What do you think?’
‘Yeah. I mean, it’s quite clear what’s happening now. It’s quite obvious what the next move is going to be. It’s just a matter of time.’
Lexi—is it Lexi?—says:
‘Where is it gone? The whole comment is gone. Oh, it’s down here. Tusi is a traitor to Emperor Penguins and Sweden.’
Now, that’s more accurate. Absolutely.
A report by the Iran Watcher also confirmed the following because there has now been a massive military drill in and around the capital in Iran because the IRGC know that this is no longer going to be about airstrikes. The moment President Trump pulls the trigger, this is going to be on a whole new level. They know it. Everybody knows this. This is the report by the Iran Watcher which confirms the footage from inside Iran. Of course, this was also published by the Islamic Republic state media. They seem quite proud of this.
They spent the last five days doing a military drill around the capital. This was done by the IRGC’s Greater Tehran Command. The military drill was called Labbayk—basically named after the cardboard supreme leader, although this could also be named after the previous Supreme Leader because they want to take revenge. This military drill focused on ground warfare, anti-helicopter tactics, FPV drone tactics and attacks, rapid response units, and of course light infantry operating from pickup trucks and SUVs.
The Iran Watcher also reports that while state media in Iran frames this as a preparation against external enemy threats, these types of drills also carry a major internal security component, which is really about the uprising and urban warfare. Essentially, the moment the Iranian people are told to take to the streets, these guys will be prepared to fight against the Iranians who will be trying to take back control of their country from the Islamic occupation forces.
Now, obviously, they are so terrified. They did the same thing in January, a few months ago, when they decided to basically bring out full military-level equipment and personnel against unarmed protesters at the time because they know they can’t do anything about that. They have to basically shoot to kill. Even when people in Iran were simply protesting and asking for democracy and freedom, this time round things are different. They know that some Iranians are now armed with weapons. They know that the US military would potentially launch a ground invasion soon in Iran.
But the problem with this is that the Islamic Republic don’t necessarily have the manpower to fight on the ground. The only thing they can do right now is use their missiles and drones only by playing ‘whack-a-mole.’ Go into hiding. Go into a cave or an underground bunker. Bring out the missile launchers or the drone carriers. Launch. Go back into hiding. They’re not very good at standing there right in front of the enemy and fighting them—especially when you’re talking about the United States military, the most powerful and successful military force in the history of humanity.
But they want to be seen to be doing something. Every single one of these idiots are going to get killed within 10 minutes. They’re not going to be able to stop their fighter jets. The US fighters, the Israeli Air Force—they’re going to take full control of the airspace once again in Iran. These guys are going to run around apparently. I don’t think that’s going to happen. They can do the drills. I’m pretty sure most of these guys are not going to be brave enough to actually stand on the ground. It’s crazy.
Now, during the military exercise—this was also published by Press TV—this is the most fascinating thing I’ve seen in a very long time. The IRGC operatives deployed drones. Obviously, they have to exercise with their drones. And they had a ground target which is a Black Hawk helicopter. So they are practicing. So when they see a US Black Hawk helicopter, they have to do a simulation so that they can hit the helicopter.
Now I just described the scenario, right? So I’m assuming in your head you’re picturing the IRGC doing a proper drill simulation. There is something, probably not a real helicopter, but something in the air and they have to use a drone to try to hit the target. That’s what you’re picturing, right? This is what they were actually doing. I’m not even kidding. Watch that again. Watch what that was. The Black Hawk.
I’m not convinced. I can’t even tell anymore things that come out of the Islamic Republic. I really can’t tell what’s AI, what’s not AI. How can we tell if this is AI? Because they’ve used so many AI footages from Iran. But why would they do it? I’m going with AI because this makes no sense. Why is Press TV publishing this? I don’t even know. But yeah, this was released by Press TV. I’m not convinced. What are they doing? This is AI. Nobody is that stupid.
Although I have shown you actual footage of the IRGC doing their military drills, exercises, and all the other weird stuff, right? Including the workout. Should I put it on again? Hang on. Wait. This is from a year ago or whenever it was, right? But most of you probably have seen it. How do I find this thing? This is—yeah, we’re going to have to find this now because it goes hand-in-hand with the sort of stuff to prove that a lot of things coming out of Iran is not actually AI yet because it’s so ridiculous. It has to be AI, but it’s not AI.
I can’t find this. Oh no. If somebody can find this for me, send it somehow because by the way, Press TV says that is not AI, what I showed you. So I don’t know who to believe. Why would they do that? Why would I find that thing? It’s the old man. I’ll find it eventually. I’ll bring it out. Hang on. It’s fine. It’s the one with the old man—he’s basically 90 years old and he’s trying to lead the exercise.
Anyway, going back to the American side, General Keane was being questioned and he mentioned that the Islamic Republic is feeling the pressure from the blockade that continues at the Strait of Hormuz.
‘Is it possible to keep that stranglehold on with the blockade even though you know the tyrants—the IRGC—won’t give up right away, and secure the Strait of Hormuz while we continue to put that pressure on them for a result that can work for this country and the world and that’s enforceable? I’d like you to give me some more color on that both of you gentlemen.’
‘Sir, I’ll take a moment here and talk about pressure. And what you’re really alluding to is what the entirety of the inter-agency is working on with a hat tip toward Secretary Bessent, Secretary Rubio, and the rest of the inter-agency. The totality of total pressure, which the military element is just one component on, is what the regime in Iran is feeling right now. And I think there’s no shortage of ability to hold that pressure. The decision on for how long to hold that pressure is of course a political one and within our civilian leadership. But I would highlight that they are absolutely feeling that pressure not just from the blockade as the secretary talked about, but the continuation of sanctions that Treasury and others have put on there. And we retain a range of military options.’
Yeah, he is absolutely spot on in terms of the pressure. I found it. I found the footage that you would think if you were seeing it now that it’s definitely AI, but it came out before AI. This is the IRGC military on TV doing a workout. Go.
Now, for those who are members of TUCC TV Plus, you would know our good friend Ivan, who is our chief moderator on our chat forum on Discord. I am convinced that that is Ivan. If you’re watching this, you need to deny these allegations. Ivan, he’s going to kill me now.
Anyway, going to the situation with the proxies. The IRGC branch in Lebanon, Hezbollah, once again decided to launch attacks on the Israeli Defense Forces despite the so-called ceasefire. And earlier today, we had the IDF hitting a number of positions in southern Lebanon, including Al-Bazourieh in the Tyre district. Let’s quickly go to the IDF.
Now, the fascinating part about this is that the more Hezbollah attack the Israelis—and even if they don’t attack the Israelis—the existence of Hezbollah is basically to wipe out the Jews, right? Even if they just exist, if they just stand there across the border, the Israelis will always be on their toes. They will always be on standby anyway. Now that they continue to hit despite the ceasefire, it’s just going to make things harder and harder for the IRGC. Because when the Islamic Republic are saying:
‘We’re not going to negotiate with President Trump until all the demands are met.’
And one of the demands is a complete end to all conflicts—as in the Israelis should not be allowed to defend their country against Hezbollah. Now, the more Hezbollah hits, the more Israelis are going to say, ‘Well, that’s impossible obviously.’ And President Trump is going to say, ‘Well, we can’t agree to that.’ Forget about all the other demands which were also stupid. This one tiny demand on its own is collapsing the talks anyway.
And well, there are no talks because they’re refusing to talk. They kept sending proposals. President Trump kept rejecting them, rightly so. And now they are sulking. They’re saying we’re not going to talk. Instead, they are doing military drills because they are waiting for a ground invasion.
We’re getting some breaking news. Apparently, we’ve had a second and third earthquake in Tehran. When we started this live stream, we had one earthquake and now we have—we had the second one and now the third. Three earthquakes in the capital. The last one was in Pardis in Tehran. It shook at the depth of 8 kilometers. So it is highly likely that they are definitely testing something underground around the capital. That’s why this happens. It’s not normal, obviously. So whether it’s nuclear tests or some other thing, whatever they’re doing, it’s something dodgy. All I know—and I’m very familiar with their tactics and the locations of these underground sites—they are definitely testing something dodgy. And obviously, the Americans are going to keep an eye on this situation as well.
So we will see. The US government are now saying that they are considering to rename Operation Epic Fury because that’s now technically ended. Remember, they technically ended it because of Congress. They’re going to rename it to Operation Sledgehammer. Okay. Sledgehammer seems quite hardcore, apparently. So we will wait for that.
In terms of the dodgy things happening in Iran, there are certain things that are not happening in Iran and that includes the Kharg Island. The latest satellite footage shows that not one single Iranian oil tanker has loaded crude oil at Kharg Island in the past four days. Now, the last few weeks, couple of weeks, they’ve still tried, they really tried to export oil. They tried to disobey the orders from the US Navy during the blockade. And when they were stopped, they were intercepted. Couple of their tankers were seized. They’ve given up. And obviously, they’ve been spilling oil in the Persian Gulf—that continues.
So we can see that the implosion of the Islamic Republic as a system—economically, financially, and also in terms of resources—is imminent. It’s already happening, but it’s just ongoing. If it were any other normal country, a normal government, they would already at this point be declaring a national emergency. But they don’t care about Iran or the Iranians. They have said many times:
‘We would rather burn down the whole country before we even think about surrendering power.’
They would literally take everybody down with them if you want to destroy them or remove them from power. So, Operation Sledgehammer is going to be a little bit rough and that’s why the Americans have known this for the past few weeks since the ceasefire started. And a lot of people who’ve been saying, ‘Why can’t you just launch the military strikes again? Just go in, just attack the IRGC.’ It’s not as simple as that. You have to have a proper strategy. You have to have—get the timing right and make sure that the regime is at its weakest point. That’s why we have been waiting and of course while that the wait has been happening the US military deployment continues to happen.
Earlier today, President Trump also posted this message on Truth Social. The first picture he said:
‘Bye-bye fast boats.’
These are the tiny fast boats of the IRGC. Although, funnily enough, in this AI image, the fast boats are bigger than what they actually are in real life. They’re not even that big. They’re much smaller than that. And then we also have this post saying:
‘Lasers bing bing gone bing bing gone.’
The President of the United States, ladies and gentlemen, is trolling the IRGC. While they continue to think that President Trump is not going to do anything, they are falling into the trap.
Okay, so there is—I think we’re getting some more information about these mysterious earthquakes and we’re going to get some reaction as well. Let me just get the update on the big situation around Tehran and the earthquakes.
All right, Jeff says that Israel has sent Iron Dome batteries and radars to UAE as well as Iron Beam. Yes, as we reported the last couple of days, that continues to happen.
‘Is it possible that the US loses the war?’
How? The only way US will lose the war is if they withdraw from the war. That’s it. The US military can’t be defeated. It can’t be defeated by the IRGC, at least.
‘Will you go on one of Armen’s discussion groups someday? Would love to have you on there.’
But what platform is that? I don’t know what platform that is. 4.8 shallow quake is suspect. Yeah. The other one is—the last one is I think 5.3. I’m just going to confirm the earthquake and the degree.
‘Will we get $10 million for a cardboard cartel?’
State Department is going to love that.
‘If Mojtaba is alive, could Vahidi have him locked away under guard so that he can stay in charge?’
Theoretically, yes. And that’s basically what the theory is—that not necessarily locked away in a conscious way like he’s a hostage, ‘Oh, I want to be free,’ but he’s so damaged and so injured that he is under the supervision of Vahidi, the head of the IRGC, and they have locked him away in a sense that they are not allowing anybody else to meet him. So they are taking care of him; he is on his hospital bed. They’ve got their private doctors and they’re saying:
‘Fortunate Supreme Leader, you can’t go out. Obviously, if he can walk, and nobody—we can’t trust anybody to come into the room to meet you because, you know, anybody could be a traitor.’
So yes, they basically—they’re keeping him away if he’s alive, and I think he’s alive. He’s just very much not functional. And that’s how Vahidi, the head of the IRGC, is running the show, the whole system, because he can say:
‘Hey, I just had a meeting with the Supreme Leader. He’s fine. He’s just recovering. You can’t meet him yet. But the message from him is this or that.’
But in reality, he’s just coming up with the messages. So that is a current theory obviously around what’s happening with the cardboard supreme leader.
‘I thought there was a famine in Gaza. I saw a video of a marathon along the Gaza coast that they all looked well-fed to me.’
There’s still a lot of overweight people as well in Gaza. There was a lot of humanitarian aid that was going in for like three years.
‘Do you know how much cardboard they can buy with $10 million?’
Quite a lot. Ivan says:
‘Seems China got their fingers burned.’
I wish I could be in that room when the meeting happens between Xi Jinping and President Trump. That’s going to be the best moment. Obviously, Xi Jinping is going to deny it, saying:
‘We have a big system, big government. I don’t really know exactly what happens, but I don’t really watch everything.’
Yeah, right. It’s a completely centralized system.
‘Watch the evidence on the shadow of President Barack Hussein Obama and how he set up the IRGC and Europe and Iran backs all your evidence. MG show on Rumble today. Independent reporters, not Tucker.’
I wish the mainstream media would focus more on the atrocities being carried out on the Iranian people by the IRGC. It doesn’t suit their agenda. Obviously, they’re not going to do that.
‘Is Greg the goat or is Messi the goat?’
Well, Greg is definitely the goat, but Ronaldo is the goat, not Messi. Don’t come at me on that. You’re wrong. If you’re going to argue against that, you’re wrong.
‘Is a cardboard gay recyclable?’
It’s a cardboard. So, yes.
‘My girlfriend supports Palestine. She’s been deported from Sweden to Iran due to new laws. She came when she was 15 with her mom, but I—’
What the—what are you—”
