As the impasse in the Persian Gulf continues unabated and dark clouds gather once more, we are experiencing an uncontrolled wave of propaganda, a familiar process during wartime. Trump, the American President, said for the 34th time that he defeated Iran, but shortly after forgot himself and said: we will defeat them, we made the Iranians very poor. In a new statement, Trump said that Iran has no right to possess nuclear weapons because they are crazy, unlike North Korea which possesses nuclear weapons because Kim Jong Un is his friend. The IRGC, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, emphasized that Trump was humiliated in the Persian Gulf trapped in a quagmire where he can neither negotiate nor fight. At the same time, in a shock move, the IRGC sent an open letter to the American people, emphasizing that the US is an empire of lies. Meanwhile, Israel and the CIA claim to possess intelligence that Iran or another proxy will attack Israeli cities and bases soon. All of this is propaganda but in practice, the standoff surrounding Iran, the Persian Gulf, and Hormuz remains unresolved.
Trump propaganda: History will write me, we defeated Iran… we will defeat Iran… soon we will finish the issue
Amid the US campaign season for the congressional midterm elections, US President Trump claimed: The operation against Iran was successful! Making a demagogic and propagandistic claim, he stressed "the operation against Iran was very successful and is considered one of the major achievements of my presidency!" Iran will not acquire nuclear weapons and we will resolve this issue very soon! "The Iran issue will be resolved in the very near future. Oil prices will drop again and return to levels prevailing before the American operation against Iran. Iran is collapsing rapidly!" Trump emphasized. "In coming years, the history of our country will be written and they will say that the Iran war was one of the most significant things we did!"
Trump: Iranians have become very poor but won't surrender – Kim Jong Un has nukes because he loves me
At the unveiling ceremony for the government's new digital services platform, the US President repeated once more his claims and contradictions regarding the war with Iran, Iran's economic state, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the North Korean nuclear issue. However, at the same time, the revelation of the 120 billion dollar financial burden borne by Americans for the war against Iran comes as a shock. While failing to achieve victory despite a year passing since the start of the first war against Iran, he repeated his claims before journalists and asserted Iran's defeat, saying: "Well, they (Iran) are in a very bad state. I don't know if they are going to surrender yet. They will surrender, but their situation is very bad." In another part of his outrageous claims about Iran, he added: "The Iranians have become very poor. We stopped Iran from getting nuclear weapons. The Strait of Hormuz is completely open!" Trump also claimed regarding the Strait of Hormuz – which was closed by Iran – "You know, we have taken more oil out of the Strait of Hormuz in recent days (the last two days) than we have ever taken in history, even more than we did much earlier, when we went to war to stop nuclear weapons." "All these measures aim to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and Iran will not obtain nuclear weapons." During the gathering, a reporter asked Trump: "You said Iran cannot have nuclear weapons; why can North Korea have nuclear weapons?" Trump's comical claim: "Because you have a different president. Kim Jong Un is my friend. He loves Trump. I love him, as long as I am around, he will be fine. You know why? Because he respects me." He added that the North Korean president respects him, therefore he can possess nuclear weapons.
Financial Times: Trump holds emergency meetings over US diesel export ban
US President Donald Trump held emergency talks with advisers over whether a ban should be imposed on diesel oil exports from the country or other steps taken to curb the fuel crisis, the Financial Times highlights, citing sources. "Trump held emergency talks with advisers regarding whether a ban on diesel oil exports should be imposed or other steps taken to restrain the fuel crisis. Advisers presented the President with various options, including restrictions on international diesel sales, while US government officials briefed foreign allies, including the UK, on potential supply disruptions," the report states. A White House official stated that Trump is considering all available options to lower domestic prices and that no decision has been taken so far. It is noted that a move banning diesel exports from the US would deal a massive blow to Europe, which imports massive quantities of diesel fuel.
US and Israel agree: Iran will attack again
The US agrees with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's assessment that "there is a possibility of an attack on Israel before the upcoming elections." This assessment encompasses both Iran and its allied forces. i24 also claimed that the US concurs with Israeli estimates. Meanwhile, according to Al-Mayadeen, the purpose of Netanyahu's visit to the United Arab Emirates was to induce the country to join the war against Yemen. According to a US intelligence official, Washington agrees with the assessment made by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that indications suggest an attack on Israel is likely to occur prior to the upcoming elections.
IRGC: Americans are planning new war scenarios against Iran
A spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) stated that US authorities have drafted various scenarios for continuing the war with Iran, though Iran is aware of them and has taken appropriate measures. Neither Iran nor the US expects an agreement to be reached in the immediate future, while the US military may resume airstrikes after November 3, following the US congressional midterm elections. "Our opponent possesses various alternative scenarios in every case. During this war, they believed their military presence would force us to capitulate, but that did not happen," the military official stated. He cited the example of the period when, after the US military failed to achieve victory through military means, America turned to economic warfare and a naval blockade. The US holds other plans, but Iran knows them and has already prepared accordingly. According to the IRGC, Iran has destroyed the majority of US military bases in the Middle East and they have suffered irreparable damage. He noted that the Islamic Republic is already deploying new weapons systems, which it will use in the event hostilities break out.
Iran National Security Council: Trump in a quagmire can neither negotiate nor fight
Iran has made its terms known to the United States, but US President Trump is incapable of making a decision, stated the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC). "Trump is trapped in a quagmire where he can neither negotiate nor fight." "Iran's terms have been transmitted to the United States, but Trump is unable to make a decision, and the United States acts out of desperation," he added. The top security official's comments came as Tehran awaits Washington's official response to an Iranian seven-point proposal transmitted to the US through Qatari mediation.
Unprecedented – IRGC letter to Americans: Empire of Lies, 18 bases and 350 facilities in ruins
In an unprecedented move, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a blistering open letter addressed to the American public, academics, and journalists. The letter exposes the devastating strategic failures of the US war machine and the hypocrisy of the "Empire of Lies." The IRGC outlines how Iran achieved a decisive victory using just 1% of the US defense budget. The IRGC urges Americans to dismantle their global empire of 800 military bases and reclaim their country before it collapses under the weight of its own arrogance.
The reality of Iran's victory and US defeat, 18 American bases in ruins
-Seven months ago, the US military launched a war in violation of international law, attacking an elementary school in Minab and murdering 168 innocent students, while simultaneously assassinating the leader of the Islamic Republic, Khamenei.
-To determine which side has won, we must examine the objectives. The US and Israel initially sought regime change and the partition of Iran. When those failed, the US President uttered 13 different, contradictory objectives – from seizing Kharg Island to returning Iran to the Stone Age, and even annexing the Strait of Hormuz and imposing a 20% toll – betraying a complete absence of coherent strategy.
-The US military, the largest and most expensive in history, has scored no victory. They failed to realize even their ultimate motive to distract world attention from Israel's horrific genocide in Gaza.
-Iran's armed forces destroyed US bases in the Persian Gulf, neutralizing over 200 expensive strategic drones, 12 refueling and transport aircraft, 30 fighter jets, and at least one AWACS aircraft. The operational capability of 18 American bases was reduced nearly to zero, destroying more than 350 key facilities.
-For the first time in history, Iran exercised and maintained operational control of the Strait of Hormuz. American warships were forced to flee deep into the Indian Ocean and not a single US vessel can dock at the famed US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain anymore.
Running in underwear to hide
-At the start of the war, residents of the Persian Gulf saw American military personnel abandoning their bases, running in their underwear looking for places to hide. US bases now resemble ghost towns, and there is serious debate in Washington regarding their total dismantling.
-The war completely neutralized much of the US government's decades-long cognitive and cultural warfare aimed at weakening Iran's national and religious values and alienating Iranian youth from their cultural heritage. The attack on Minab and the assassination of the Leader instead reinforced the resolve of Iranian youth to resist, revitalizing Iran.
The true meaning of "Death to America" from the House of Oppression
-The nations of Iran and America are both victims of White House oppression – which should fittingly be named the "House of Oppression."
-The US holds 4% of the world's population, but 20% of global prisoners. Every year, over 1,300 Americans are shot and killed by police officers. Roughly 40 million Americans live below the poverty line.
-The phrase "Death to America" does not express ill will toward the American people. It is a prayer for the elimination of the evil ruling elite whose seat of power is the White House. It is a cry born from the pain of oppression.
-The US government has long applied a strategy of "divide and conquer" against its own people. Polarization in American society today stands at levels not witnessed since the Civil War.
The secret of undefeated Iran
-The main factor behind Iran's victory is not drones and missiles.
-If you wish to understand why Iranians are not intimidated by the extreme brutality of the American war machine, you must read the tragedy of Karbala.
73 years of hatred
-Hostility did not start in 2026. It dates back 73 years, to the 1953 CIA-backed coup against Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh, followed by the restoration of the Shah and the creation of SAVAK with the help of the CIA and Mossad.
-Following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the US Embassy in Tehran became a "Den of Spies," coordinating with guerrilla factions and military elements involved in coup attempts against the new Islamic Republic.
-The United States supported a domestic terrorist network that killed approximately 20,000 Iranians, including senior political officials, scientists, and ordinary citizens.
-In a shocking crime against humanity, the US military deliberately shot down Iran Air Flight 655 over the Persian Gulf in 1988, killing all 290 men, women, and children aboard. The captain of the American warship involved was subsequently decorated with medals.
-When all else failed, the United States created the ruthless terrorist group Daesh (ISIL). The Resistance Front, led by legendary Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani, managed to eliminate the group's territorial stronghold in just a few years, before Qasem Soleimani was assassinated on Trump's orders in a final act of cowardly revenge.
The cost of America's wars: 8 trillion dollars
-The experience of the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq demonstrates the strategic and financial cost of prolonged military intervention. The 20-year occupation of Afghanistan cost roughly 3 trillion dollars, caused 2,354 US military deaths and 168,000 casualties in Afghanistan, and ended with the withdrawal of US forces and the return of the Taliban to power.
-The invasion of Iraq cost approximately 4 trillion dollars, 4,800 US military deaths, and 265,000 Iraqi deaths. The war ultimately weakened the US position in the region, while simultaneously strengthening Iranian influence in Iraq.
-Decades of US wars and interventions have accelerated the erosion of global US economic power, with the cost of their broader military and interventionist policies exceeding 8 trillion dollars, according to their own estimates.
US complicity in Gaza genocide
-Washington's unwavering support enabled Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza, presenting the war as part of a broader pattern of US military and political support for Israel. Israel's genocide has claimed the lives of 73,900 Palestinians, including 21,700 children. Israel has destroyed homes, schools, and medical facilities, while severely restricting food, water, and other essential items.
"Empire of Lies"
-The White House is an unstoppable lie factory. They lied about Afghanistan, lied about Iraq's non-conventional weapons, and still lie about Iran's nuclear program.
-For 25 years, the White House has claimed that Iran is weeks away from a nuclear bomb. If that were true, Iran would possess dozens of bombs today. The tragic irony is that Trump launched this war by assassinating Iran's leader, the very man who issued a religious decree declaring nuclear weapons inhumane and unacceptable.
-The US is burdened with an astronomical national debt exceeding 40 trillion dollars, making it the most indebted country in history. The US has gone from exporting advanced technologies to a Third World country that must sell crude oil and coal to survive.
Myths and failures: Why narrative warfare like US bombs fails to bend Iran
-American leaders are preoccupied with trivial matters. While the US wasted trillions on war, China surpassed the US in Artificial Intelligence and quantum technology. Meanwhile, Trump wastes resources constructing a White House ballroom, struggling to put his name on the Kennedy Center and proposing the absurd "Trump Arch."
-The American military is governed by a perverse ethos that tolerates the murder of innocent children. US forces are spiritually and morally hollow, and consequently, when facing a capable opponent, the US military is shamefully incompetent, a paper tiger.
The IRGC and the hypocritical "terrorist" label
-The US hypocritically designates the IRGC as a terrorist organization simply because it is the primary force behind defeating the enemy. However, the IRGC was established by the Constitution to safeguard this Iranian revolution.
-The IRGC has thwarted countless US efforts to incite coups and secessions and is the most effective counter-terrorism organization in the world, having eliminated US-created Daesh in just a few years under legendary Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani. In a final act of cowardly revenge, Trump ordered the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani. There is not a single verifiable example where the Guards committed an act of violence against civilians. The overarching crime for which the IRGC is labeled a terrorist organization is its refusal to submit to global hegemony.
Call to action for the American people
-Americans must wake up and wrest control from corrupt politicians. Now is the time, as the American political system stands at its weakest point.
-Demand that your government close the 800 costly and useless US bases scattered across the globe and put an end to endless aid provided to Israel.
-God provides the answer in both the Old Testament (Jeremiah 18:7–10) and the Holy Quran (13:11): nations can change their fate by changing their behavior. "Indeed, God does not change the conditions of a people until they change their own conditions."
