The U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28, 2026, and a ceasefire was announced on April 7, 2026. This amounts to 39 days of conflict before the ceasefire took effect.

Multiple sources, including The New York Times and AP News, confirm the war lasted more than five weeks, with the 39th day marking the ceasefire announcement.
A U.S. official stated military strikes ceased in accordance with the two-week ceasefire agreement, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth referred to a 38-day air campaign—likely counting full days of operations rather than the total span including the start and end dates.
Thus, the conflict lasted 39 days from start to ceasefire, though some assessments refer to 38 full days of combat operations.

Re: This Oil Crisis is Looking Serious.

I gave up Hal years ago. The man who cried wolf too much.

OMG he’s the alarmist from hell.

Trump prolly knows straight closure hurts them more than it does us. ++

A full closure of the Strait of Hormuz would hurt both sides, but there’s a strategic argument that it could damage Iran and its regional customers faster than it damages the United States directly.

Key asymmetries:

* The U.S. is now a major oil producer/exporter again, with significant output from Texas, the Permian Basin, offshore Gulf production, Alaska, and Canadian integration.
* Many Asian economies remain far more dependent on Gulf crude flowing through Hormuz:
* China
* India
* Japan
* South Korea
* Iran itself relies heavily on the same maritime chokepoint for exports and leverage.

A prolonged disruption can create several self-inflicted pressures on Iran:

* Reduced export revenue.
* Increased insurance/shipping costs.
* Greater naval vulnerability.
* Potential alienation of countries quietly buying discounted Iranian oil.
* Stronger justification for multinational maritime intervention.

The broader global effect is still severe, though:

* Oil spikes.
* LNG disruptions.
* Shipping delays.
* Inflation resurgence.
* Strategic petroleum reserve drawdowns.
* Political pressure on Western governments.

That’s why many analysts view “closure” threats less as a permanent strategy and more as:

1. signaling,
2. temporary coercion,
3. insurance-rate warfare,
4. or short-duration disruption attempts.

Markets often react before actual closure occurs. Tanker rerouting, war-risk premiums, and trader psychology can move prices dramatically even if the strait never fully shuts.

From a military-economic standpoint, Washington may calculate:

* the U.S. economy can absorb temporary pain better than Iran can absorb sustained isolation,
* especially if alternative supply chains ramp up and allies cooperate.

That does not mean “no pain” for the U.S.; it means relative pain tolerance may be higher.

Thanks, BrAeye for elaborating what the TPTB may be thinking … Righteous actions by righteous rulers speak louder than words.

5 minutes shows 80 thousand barrel oil slick
and pickle daily food of 1 potato and 2 pickles. ++

That transcript makes a very large number of dramatic claims, but many are either unverified, internally inconsistent, speculative, or appear disconnected from publicly confirmed reporting.

A few examples:

• “President Trump’s blockade of Hormuz” — there is no publicly acknowledged full U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz at this time.

• “Iran storage is 100% full” and “80,000 barrel spill” — possible in theory for localized incidents, but extraordinary claims require satellite evidence, tanker tracking data, or credible reporting from established outlets.

• “China publicly took America’s side against Iran after Beijing visit” — that would be major world news requiring confirmation from multiple governments and press briefings.

• “Iranian parliament approved €50 million assassination bounty” — extremely serious claim requiring direct sourcing.

The transcript blends:

1. some real geopolitical tensions,
2. commentary/opinion,
3. speculative interpretation,
4. and claims presented as settled fact without sourcing.

The phrase:

“This is a huge victory for the United States of America without a single shot being fired.”

is clearly editorial framing, not neutral reporting.

Likewise:

“They are on their last legs.”

is analysis/opinion.

The safest approach is separating:
• verified events,
• plausible but unconfirmed reports,
• and rhetorical narrative.

Even within the transcript there are warning signs:

“We have to wait for confirmation…”

and:

“If the BBC is reporting it…”

which shows portions were being discussed in real time without verification.

The “one potato and pickles” story sounds like the kind of anecdotal morale-collapse narrative common in wartime propaganda from many sides throughout history. Could there be shortages or unpaid personnel? Possibly. But isolated videos do not establish nationwide conditions.

Also notable:
the transcript repeatedly says “straight of hormones” instead of Strait of Hormuz, suggesting either auto-transcription errors or low editorial polish.

Simple explanation:
This appears to be a highly partisan geopolitical commentary stream mixing facts, rumors, strategic analysis, morale narratives, and dramatic interpretation into one continuous narrative flow.

It should not be treated as verified intelligence merely because specific names, maps, or military terminology are used.

Welcome to TUC TV. This is your global news channel. Amay Tusi and the IRGC are now challen being challenged with an expected crisis as oil spillage continues across the Persian Gulf along the coastline and the Islamic Republic have now reached max oil storage capacity around the Kag Islands. This is a huge victory for the United States of America. without a single shot being fired. The blockade of uh the straight of Homos is paralyzing the regime from within. They are now also struggling to even pay their own members wages. We're going to give you guys the latest updates on what's going on in Iran as the currency real is collapsing once again. It's basically flatlining at this point because it's uh struggling to even bounce back. Scott Bessent, the US Treasury Secretary, also have some info from what's actually been happening inside the country. If you're a member of 2CTV Plus, straight after this live stream, we're going to continue the conversation with the members on our chat forum. Make sure to go on the website 2C.tv, click on discuss, get access to the private Discord server, and obviously I'll give you guys the information later. All right, first things first. Let's go to Iran and our interactive map. Uh, according to the US Treasury, uh, to the south of the country right around here, we got the K Island. You can see there we go. And also along the coastline, we have a video from Iran showing the oil spillage, which is getting worse and worse. It's is an environmental disaster at this point. But around Kag Island. So all the way from here and of course also from Bandar to probably around here and of course Busher as well. All these areas and down here. Let's do another line. There we go. All the way around here. We have a massive problems with oil spillage because they they don't know what to do anymore. They have to now they are now considering to completely shut down oil production and pumping out oil because they don't know what to do with it. There is it's almost impossible for them to even try to smuggle it out via the the Pakistani border because they they have considered that they have attempted to send out some of the petrol out. So from all the way from here uh around Busher to Pakistan uh they have done a few routes where they were basically transporting some of the oil h but that has not really been effective. So they are definitely struggling according to Scott Bessent saying that not only that the Iranian oil storage is 100% full they can't sell but their soldiers and members are not getting paid. We also have a video from one of the members of the IRGC who has leaked some information about what what actually they're eating because they're only eating potatoes at this point. Scott Besson says island we have seen that there have been no loadings in the past 3 days completely because obviously they have been trying to load over the last few weeks. They tried to leave the straight of hormones, the Americans stop them, they go back. So they've kind of stopped doing that. Now, Scott Besson said, "We believe their storage is full and none of the ships are getting out. None are coming in. Uh, so they are not able to store oil underwater. So, they're going to start shutting down their production. We can see that that's happening from satellite photos. But more importantly, this is a diabolical regime. They're not able to um replenish their weapons stock from abroad. So, I think they are on their last legs. the blockade, President Trump's blockade has been a resounding success. So, this is the video I'm going to show you now from uh the Persian Gulf. 80,000 barrels of oil now been spilled into the sea near the Kag Island. You can see the thick oil sludge coating Iran's coastline as it spreads through obviously the whole of the Persian Gulf. Satellite imagery shows that over the last few days uh the massive oil slick stretching across dozens of square kilometers near Iran's main main oil export hub is continuing. Let's go to the video from the coastline of uh Iran. He's saying lot a lot of fish have died. No wood. The guy um in in the video was saying that a lot of sea life fish uh believe uh some birds they've all died and uh he says that the whole island has been destroyed by the regime. Uh, God help us all. That's basically what the man was saying in the video. This is disgusting. I mean, we we we did see some satellite imagery that we showed you, I think about a week ago, a few days ago on this channel, uh, which showed uh, just outside around the car island and of course the coastline in Iran. You could see the the black marks that was basically the oil on in the water. H, but this is the first time we're actually getting raw footage, the actual videos coming in. You can see the black sludge uh everywhere which again on the one hand it shows a disaster for the actual um the resources in Iran when it comes to oil but at the at the same time the environmental damage is also insane. So a lot of things are happening at the same time but the regime don't care. So, one of the things that they're dealing with right now is angry members. Their own mercenaries are now filming and leaking information to the outside world because they have access to the internet. Don't forget about that. The regime have access to the internet. Not only they're not getting paid according to one of them, I'm going to show you the video. I'm going to translate what it's saying, but they are eating they are giving them one potato a day and a couple of pickled cucumbers basically uh or girken. Watch this. >> It says uh but they're not giving us any money anymore. Uh, and we work hard every single day, day and uh, obviously day and out in and out. And then of course they they're only giving us uh, potatoes and uh, pickled cucumber. That's all they're getting. Uh, obviously people at the top are still having a great luxury life. It's just obviously the minions at the bottom of the regime uh, who are not getting anything anymore. They can't even pay their own rents. uh and they're not going to have access anymore to uh basic resources including heating because things are not going too bad uh too well. Uh also at the same time the regime are focusing on uh pushing for more war because the they've been itching for the return of the conflict because that's the only way they can have some sort of distraction and also basic unity inside the regime because the the so-called ceasefire and the blockade of HMOS is paralyzing and and obviously has caused a massive infighting. The only good news for the regime in Iran is that the big infighting and the coup has now stopped basically because um Ahmed Vahidi who's the leader of the IRGC who's basically in charge of the country his side have won. They are now in charge. So they they infighting they have been successfully crushing the other sides of the regime and the government. So technically things are calm relatively but obviously the rest of them are not helping the others. So it's not looking good but they are focusing on uh inviting the Americans back into Iran. So we this is Ibrahim Azizi who's the head of uh the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission. He and the government the legislators have now announced a 50 million euro uh bill for the assassination of President Trump. anybody anywhere in the world if they are able to successfully take out President Trump they will be getting 50 million euros. Now 50 million euros in Iran is it's huge because the currency is collapsed but they've saved up their money. That's part of the government budget and they basically introduced this new bill in parliament in Thran in order to do this. Now, after the first two, there were we've already had two failed assassination attempts against President Trump that were tied to the IRGC. Well, we see overall we had about three or four, but two of them were linked to the IRGC over the last 2 three years. And but now they think that it's probably best if they just uh create some sort of reward. So, anybody out there, whether you're a Democrats or a a trans activist or whatever you are, you can try to take out President Trump and you get you get paid by the regime in Iran. The issue is that they don't understand. I mean, there will be some crazy people who think that they're going to get paid, but you're not going to get paid. Even if you successfully take out President Trump, the US Treasury is not going to allow you to get paid. But the whole thing makes no sense. They are just desperate to provoke President Trump to return to the conflict. Meanwhile, the rest of the proxies and the Islamists, including the ones in Gaza, have been uh continuing to refuse to disarm, and they've been obviously rallying the the troops to attack Israel again. The IDF and Mossad discovered what was happening in Gaza over the last week or so. They received the approval and the green light from the Israeli government in order to carry out an assassination against the the Hamas leader, the military leader is Alin Al-Had in Gaza. Mossad and the IDF intelligence were operating for about a week and a half monitoring his behavior, where he's going, what sort of movement he's having. Eventually, a couple of hours ago, a few hours ago, in Gaza, the Israeli Defense Forces carried out this massive assassination. This is the video. Now, we have been in touch with the IDF. The initial assessment suggests that the assassination has been successful, but we have to wait for confirmation that they have to see it obviously with their own eyes to ensure that uh the Hamas military leader has been taken out. This will be a huge move in uh the the fight against the Islamic Republic's proxies because the in terms of senior and experienced leaders that they have whether it's Hezbollah or Hamas there not many of them left because the more the Israelis take them out the more they have to promote the younger ones and the inexperienced ones. So there's only a few left who are from the old guard of the IRGC's proxies. But this is a statement from Israel Katz, the defense minister in Israel, saying, "Under the direction of Prime Minister Benimin Netanyahu and myself, the IDF is now striking in Gaza against the arch murderer as Azadin al-Had, the leader of the military wing of Kamas and one of the architects of October 7th massacre. Hadad was responsible for the murder, abduction, and injury of thousands of Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers. He held our hostages in cruel captivity, launched the terrorist attacks against our forces, and refused to implement the agreement led by US President Trump to disarm Hamas of its weapons and demilitarize the Gaza Strip. He continued by saying that the IDF and Shimbet are effectively implementing the government's policy of containing threats and preemptively uh thwarting our enemies. We will continue to act with strength and determination against anyone who took part in the October 7th invasion. That this is a clear message to all the murderers who seek our lives. Sooner or later, Israel will get you. And of course this is the wider message not just to the proxies but to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp in Tehran. The Israelis obviously have confirmed that they are not done. We also had President Trump earlier on saying well late last night essentially President Trump said that the military decimation of Iran to be continued. So the the the job is not done yet, but uh they're just waiting for the blockade of hormones to continue doing it well and its job. And obviously it's it's doing a great job because the IRGC are can't even pay their own members. And obviously the more that happens, the easier it will get to bring down the regime when the Iranian people led by the immortal guard are called out to come out uh to take to the streets. At that moment, you're going to have a lot of these uh police officers and soldiers or whatever they are, security officials as part of the current regime in Iran. They're not going to have any appetite to follow orders to kill their own people as they also did obviously in January in the uprising. A lot of them refused to follow the orders, just disappeared. That's why the Islamic Republic had to bring in mercenaries from Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan to carry out the massacre. There is also the situation with the uh visit of President Trump to Beijing successfully. Apparently, according to the US government, discussions between President Trump and Xi Jinping managed to get China to at least publicly take the American side because they have to. I' I've been saying this for the past 2 3 years that at the end of the day the likes of China and Russia will only support their own partners and allies when those guys are useful and are strong. Perfect example is Syria under Assad. The moment that place was going down, Russians just stop supporting it. They say, "Okay, you you can come to Moscow. You can stay here. We'll get you an apartment, but uh Syria is gone." Same thing in Iran. China and Russia, they had a chance to get involved last year in June, a year ago during the 12-day war. They didn't get involved. Obviously, Tucker Carlson promised you World War II. Didn't happen. They also had another opportunity to get involved. Two months ago, Tucker Carlson said there's going to be a World War II. Russia and China didn't get involved. Obviously, indirectly, they continue to support the regime. That's different. But they did not join the conflict because they realized the regime in Iran is not winning anymore. It's not there's no point. You could give them a bit of support because of the alliance that they have. But the conversations between the Americans and Chinese includes several pressure points. So in terms of the nuclear pressure, China has now said that the Islamic Republic should never obtain a nuclear weapon. That's the US position. In terms of the straight of hormones, China said that the straight of hormones must remain open without any toll, any payment system or anything like that. That's obviously the want to create a new system. The Americans and the Chinese now agree uh that it should be open. The reason for that is because China didn't really care whether homes was open or closed because China had a relationship with the IRGC to allow the Chinese vessels and tankers to come in and go out. But since the US blockade started, the Chinese vessels have been struggling. One or two of them did go through, but obviously most of them got stuck and they realized, well, America is more powerful than the regime in Iran. So the Chinese said, yeah, actually we we're we're always on the same page. The horrors should be open because they know they can't really go to destroy the homes anymore. China is obviously prioritizing itself, not their so-called uh junior partners in Iran in terms of the security. They have said that they will not send weapons to the IRGC. Obviously, they saying that they could lie, but the Americans will be keeping an eye on the the the satellites and everything else to ensure that that doesn't happen. And uh the US China trade compared to the Iran and China trade, you can't even compare that. And President Xiin knew this that the reason that uh Beijing held this massive banquet and the the the red carpet and the YMCA everything when President Trump came because this this visit could have been an extremely cold and clinical visit but it was with a lot of pump. It it seemed like there are two allies. Obviously, they're not allies. They are rivals. But, uh, China had to take this seriously because, uh, the trade between the US and China is over 400 billion US dollars. Now, that's every year, but China and Iran trade is tiny, and it's only in millions of dollars, the tens of millions. And also, it's one-sided. So, it's not really in the interest of China to sacrifice its own position by try to uh get involved in the war in Iran because they know if they want to use the hard power, it's probably best to save it for Taiwan. They really care about Taiwan. Why would they waste the hard power for a dying regime in Iran? Mike Waltz, the US ambassador, also said that this was a huge outcome after the visit uh by President Trump. Let's quickly go to Mike Waltz. >> And and I've got to tell you to see the Chinese backing away from Iran after meeting with President Trump was a huge outcome of this of this. >> How did they back away from Iran? >> Well, they said they agreed no nukes, no militarization of the streets of Hormuz. And uh you can't be tolling the streets of Gibraltar or straights of Malaca or the Straits of Hormuz because you see it as a source of revenue. So that was a huge huge step in our direction. that he was telling the truth she when he said that they're not supplying anything to to Iran. >> Well, we've seen actually the we've seen uh China backing away even from some of this dual use, but the blockade is preventing it one way or another and the blockade is key >> and and that the last part is the main point because obviously as anybody would say like do you trust China? They would just say that. Obviously, they would just say that. Yeah, obviously if they just say something, oh yeah, we're not going to send weapons to Iran. You can't believe them. But the main point is they got China to say it, but it's not really about what they say. It's not even about them saying, "Yeah, of course we were going to agree." It's about the fact that they can't because the Americans are controlling the straight of hormones. So, China had to say that because they knew at this point it doesn't really matter. They can't actually send anything through the straight of Hormos and any any cargo plane that goes through Iran is being monitored. But again, the problem is also about what's going to happen to the junior members in the regime. That's why you have so many foreigners right now walking around the street of Iran. The people you see all these rallies that is dying down a little bit in Iran, the pro-regime rallies, they're all foreigners. Now um the crown prince Raza Palabi has released a new statement saying that he's now requested the Iran transitional justice regulation committee. Basically this is part of the transitional government that is announced as the opposition to provide its opinion on two important matters. first the criminal liability of those in the regime who collaborated with the structure in in Iran of the Islamic Republic to basically harm the citizens of Iran and secondly the confiscation of the property of protesters and their families. Uh basically the crown prince is preparing uh to before the final call to get the immortal guard and the Iranian people to come to the street again. You have to get things ready uh behind the scenes and this is part of that messaging. Let's quickly go to the crown prince with the English subtitles and then we're going to get your reaction. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! Darin Rosto Afroi. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Roast. Bashar. on.ch. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! foreign. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign Foreign speech. for Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we can now quickly go as uh the Israeli Defense Forces have just launched a a mass massive strike uh on IRGC's Hezbollah wing in the tire. Uh let's quickly go and see what is going on over there. That's the So, we don't know what they've hit yet. 30 have been injured, apparently. Okay. Well, we we'll figure out we're waiting for the statement to find out what uh they have taken out, the Israeli Defense Forces entire. Uh but that was a big hit obviously. Uh so the Islamic Republic obviously in terms of the uh the results so far of this conflict they've lost their military bases. Their air force has been completely hammered. The IRGC Navy have lost all their big vessels and assets. They just have the little tiny boats, the speedboats. They've lost their military leaders. They've lost their political leaders. They've lost their supreme leader. uh they uh have now obviously lost access well to trade when it comes to the straight of hormones. The oil storage capacity has now reached their maximum and uh they can't even pay their own members wages. They can't transfer money or weapons to their proxies and uh everything is going absolutely fine. So it seems like the regime in Iran continue to struggle and President Trump without even a single shot been fired in the last few weeks continues to reduce the regime and their capabilities. Of course their nuclear capability has also been massively reduced and the ballistic missile program. So it seems to be extremely one-sided war so far. Uh but uh let's quickly get some reaction while we wait for uh intel from the Israeli Defense Force on what what they actually hit in Tire. What would your dad consider a a victory defeat of the regime? Um when the regime uh surrenders or gets dragged out. Uh please stay safe tomorrow. I need my daily dose of 2CTV. Yes, don't worry. I'll be fine. Uh tomorrow is our rally of course the United Kingdom rally in central London. I will be there making a speech. We just uh got update by the way that um our good friend Nick Shirley from the United States has successfully managed to enter the United Kingdom despite the fact that Kama has been trying to ban everybody from coming to Britain for this for tomorrow's rally. Nick Shirley is coming tomorrow and he's going to be making a speech at uh the United Kingdom protest. Which rebel group will be first to openly fight the control? You just listed all of them. Yeah. Uh free Iran Javish Sha Iran I hope is free before 2026 ends. Well, I've always said this this will be a very long long campaign because of how big Iran is as a country and how ruthless they are. They they don't tend to just surrender. You're going to have to drag them out. Your hair looks fabulous today, says Snook. Thank you. Uh Kevin says, "Any statement from Res Shah Resa Pabi today?" Oh, I'm I'm assuming Kevin posted that before I showed you the video of the crown prince. When the money stops flowing to their soldiers and mercenaries, the game will soon be over. But again, it will be the next stage, the next phase, which will be the what they call the final battle. It's only at that point that what what you said, Marcus, can be assessed because that's when we can judge the behavior of those who haven't been getting paid because they know that the regime is not on their side. You know, they don't even care about their own people. The US should just offer a bag of potatoes to IRGC members to retire their bosses. If oil gets on your Navy ships, we should uh bill them. News Justin Tucker has a new baby rattle. Okay. Uh the final battle may be much more decisive now. The troops are opening their eyes to one potato and deal pickle every day. Yeah, it's a slow death. We could probably start the revolution in Iran by sending Costco hot dogs. Costco also apparently sell Iranian flags in uh in LA, which is quite good. Pakistan is smuggling Iran oil through its land border and highly likely selling it to China. Shocking part Trump knows this. Yeah, of course. Everyone is I I already showed you on the map the the border crossings and the the have kind of stopped that because that was not the most effective way of getting the oil out of Iran. It was too much hassle and it was completely chaotic. Now you can see the spillage across the Persian Gulf because even that method you can't trust the Pakistanis to be organized and disciplined. That was the problem. Is it time to take out the pumps to the oil wells? Not really cuz they can't really produce anymore. They're going to shut down the whole thing themselves. How come Iran didn't do a preemptive strike while Trump was in China? Because they don't because the Islamic Republic is not is not holding any cards or any strength. They can't it's it's you're not dealing with a strong military or strong country in that sense. They they are a bunch of terrorists who are hiding in bunkers and caves and they come out every now and then with their missile launchers and then go back in hiding. They're not brave. It's not like you're dealing with some sort of like massive communist Russia army where they come standing in front of you with their tanks and everything else. That's they're just a bunch of weirdos uh who who are just occupying Iran as a country cuz if they do any sort of preemptive well they will be completely destroyed. It doesn't matter where President Trump is. Whether President Trump is in China or on the moon or in Bangladesh having curry, the US military would annihilate the Islamic Republic if they do a preemptive strike because President Trump has these things now. Um it's been invented recently. It's called uh phones, mobile phones or cell phones if you're in the US. They could tell him wherever he is. He can still get the updates. He doesn't have to wait for a fax machine. Uh, so everything is quick these days. Immortal guards will need USIsrael backup. Agree. They already have them. Yeah, at least the Israelis. Could the US send in our own oil tankers to Iran to take the oil? Well, they will be shot at, but yeah, they got missiles and drones. Iran still won't get paid for it, but they won't have to dump it, and we can use it for our oil reserves and normal use. to be fair, the Americans don't really need the oil from Iran. Um but um yeah, the IRS will just shoot at anyone and that just resumes the war. Inside or outside, Iran is uh great as it means wherever they are hiding, UK, Canada, they should be um extradited and have nowhere to hide. Yes, absolutely. The new IRC plans to raise revenue charging Starling space tolls on their satellites. Imagine you think we can get Trump to blockade the channel. It would guarantee the end uh to the small Actually, that's a good idea. Get the US Navy to do a blockade of the English Channel. Will Trump stay until midterm if necessary? It depends. Depends on uh what the opinion polls are saying at that point. But we still have a few months left. So if they uh if the war the strikes resume, even if they resume end of June, let's just say, or beginning of July, it won't they won't have to take that long. It will just be a few more weeks or a couple of more months uh before the Americans withdraw. Uh for tomorrow, include this Churchill's speech about tyranny mentions tyranny within or without. We will march together against it. Yeah, the problem is I can't really plagiarize because it'll be too obvious. Uh, that was a joke about Tucker. He talks nonsense like a toddler. Oh, that makes more sense. Okay. In your introduction is the very beautiful young lady talking into a microphone. Your wife. Yes, she is my wife Danielle and also the CEO of TCTV and occasional street reporter. She did it a couple of times. She enjoyed it. BBC reports Iran has seized a floating armory in the Gulf of Oman from China. Can you confirm? Uh I haven't received any intel on obviously if the BBC is reporting it. Uh that means that the IRC have claimed but uh I have not seen that. Should we check the BBC? When the when did the BBC say this? BBC? Come on. Rarely go on this website anymore these days. No, that was yesterday. What are you talking about? That was on the 14th of May. It's not even close to breaking news. That was the same one that they got yesterday. No. Yeah. No, that nothing to do with now. No, absolutely. Not that's the uh the ship that they got uh near the Foraya report in UAE um outside of the Straight of Hormosh near in the Gulf of Oman. That was Yeah, that was the one from yesterday. Okay. Anyway, I panicked. I was like, what? How is the BBC getting information before me? All right. So, we're going to continue this conversation with the members of TUCTV Plus. If you're not a member, nothing to do with YouTube by the way, away from YouTube, it's our own website and uh app. Go on twi.tv and uh click on discuss and that will take you to our chat forum. You get access to discord which is our private discord server and then you click on the voice channels underneath it says post live chat. I will be there in the next few minutes uh if you want to talk to me directly as uh members and we shall continue this. We're waiting for more updates from the IDF. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Maya Trusi and we are the media.

5 minutes shows 80 thousand barrel oil slick
and pickle daily food of 1 potato and 2 pickles. ++

That transcript makes a very large number of dramatic claims, but many are either unverified, internally inconsistent, speculative, or appear disconnected from publicly confirmed reporting.

A few examples:

• “President Trump’s blockade of Hormuz” — there is no publicly acknowledged full U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz at this time.

• “Iran storage is 100% full” and “80,000 barrel spill” — possible in theory for localized incidents, but extraordinary claims require satellite evidence, tanker tracking data, or credible reporting from established outlets.

• “China publicly took America’s side against Iran after Beijing visit” — that would be major world news requiring confirmation from multiple governments and press briefings.

• “Iranian parliament approved €50 million assassination bounty” — extremely serious claim requiring direct sourcing.

The transcript blends:

1. some real geopolitical tensions,
2. commentary/opinion,
3. speculative interpretation,
4. and claims presented as settled fact without sourcing.

The phrase:

“This is a huge victory for the United States of America without a single shot being fired.”

is clearly editorial framing, not neutral reporting.

Likewise:

“They are on their last legs.”

is analysis/opinion.

The safest approach is separating:
• verified events,
• plausible but unconfirmed reports,
• and rhetorical narrative.

Even within the transcript there are warning signs:

“We have to wait for confirmation…”

and:

“If the BBC is reporting it…”

which shows portions were being discussed in real time without verification.

The “one potato and pickles” story sounds like the kind of anecdotal morale-collapse narrative common in wartime propaganda from many sides throughout history. Could there be shortages or unpaid personnel? Possibly. But isolated videos do not establish nationwide conditions.

Also notable:
the transcript repeatedly says “straight of hormones” instead of Strait of Hormuz, suggesting either auto-transcription errors or low editorial polish.

Simple explanation:
This appears to be a highly partisan geopolitical commentary stream mixing facts, rumors, strategic analysis, morale narratives, and dramatic interpretation into one continuous narrative flow.

It should not be treated as verified intelligence merely because specific names, maps, or military terminology are used.

Welcome to TUC TV. This is your global news channel. Amay Tusi and the IRGC are now challen being challenged with an expected crisis as oil spillage continues across the Persian Gulf along the coastline and the Islamic Republic have now reached max oil storage capacity around the Kag Islands. This is a huge victory for the United States of America. without a single shot being fired. The blockade of uh the straight of Homos is paralyzing the regime from within. They are now also struggling to even pay their own members wages. We're going to give you guys the latest updates on what's going on in Iran as the currency real is collapsing once again. It's basically flatlining at this point because it's uh struggling to even bounce back. Scott Bessent, the US Treasury Secretary, also have some info from what's actually been happening inside the country. If you're a member of 2CTV Plus, straight after this live stream, we're going to continue the conversation with the members on our chat forum. Make sure to go on the website 2C.tv, click on discuss, get access to the private Discord server, and obviously I'll give you guys the information later. All right, first things first. Let's go to Iran and our interactive map. Uh, according to the US Treasury, uh, to the south of the country right around here, we got the K Island. You can see there we go. And also along the coastline, we have a video from Iran showing the oil spillage, which is getting worse and worse. It's is an environmental disaster at this point. But around Kag Island. So all the way from here and of course also from Bandar to probably around here and of course Busher as well. All these areas and down here. Let's do another line. There we go. All the way around here. We have a massive problems with oil spillage because they they don't know what to do anymore. They have to now they are now considering to completely shut down oil production and pumping out oil because they don't know what to do with it. There is it's almost impossible for them to even try to smuggle it out via the the Pakistani border because they they have considered that they have attempted to send out some of the petrol out. So from all the way from here uh around Busher to Pakistan uh they have done a few routes where they were basically transporting some of the oil h but that has not really been effective. So they are definitely struggling according to Scott Bessent saying that not only that the Iranian oil storage is 100% full they can't sell but their soldiers and members are not getting paid. We also have a video from one of the members of the IRGC who has leaked some information about what what actually they're eating because they're only eating potatoes at this point. Scott Besson says island we have seen that there have been no loadings in the past 3 days completely because obviously they have been trying to load over the last few weeks. They tried to leave the straight of hormones, the Americans stop them, they go back. So they've kind of stopped doing that. Now, Scott Besson said, "We believe their storage is full and none of the ships are getting out. None are coming in. Uh, so they are not able to store oil underwater. So, they're going to start shutting down their production. We can see that that's happening from satellite photos. But more importantly, this is a diabolical regime. They're not able to um replenish their weapons stock from abroad. So, I think they are on their last legs. the blockade, President Trump's blockade has been a resounding success. So, this is the video I'm going to show you now from uh the Persian Gulf. 80,000 barrels of oil now been spilled into the sea near the Kag Island. You can see the thick oil sludge coating Iran's coastline as it spreads through obviously the whole of the Persian Gulf. Satellite imagery shows that over the last few days uh the massive oil slick stretching across dozens of square kilometers near Iran's main main oil export hub is continuing. Let's go to the video from the coastline of uh Iran. He's saying lot a lot of fish have died. No wood. The guy um in in the video was saying that a lot of sea life fish uh believe uh some birds they've all died and uh he says that the whole island has been destroyed by the regime. Uh, God help us all. That's basically what the man was saying in the video. This is disgusting. I mean, we we we did see some satellite imagery that we showed you, I think about a week ago, a few days ago on this channel, uh, which showed uh, just outside around the car island and of course the coastline in Iran. You could see the the black marks that was basically the oil on in the water. H, but this is the first time we're actually getting raw footage, the actual videos coming in. You can see the black sludge uh everywhere which again on the one hand it shows a disaster for the actual um the resources in Iran when it comes to oil but at the at the same time the environmental damage is also insane. So a lot of things are happening at the same time but the regime don't care. So, one of the things that they're dealing with right now is angry members. Their own mercenaries are now filming and leaking information to the outside world because they have access to the internet. Don't forget about that. The regime have access to the internet. Not only they're not getting paid according to one of them, I'm going to show you the video. I'm going to translate what it's saying, but they are eating they are giving them one potato a day and a couple of pickled cucumbers basically uh or girken. Watch this. >> It says uh but they're not giving us any money anymore. Uh, and we work hard every single day, day and uh, obviously day and out in and out. And then of course they they're only giving us uh, potatoes and uh, pickled cucumber. That's all they're getting. Uh, obviously people at the top are still having a great luxury life. It's just obviously the minions at the bottom of the regime uh, who are not getting anything anymore. They can't even pay their own rents. uh and they're not going to have access anymore to uh basic resources including heating because things are not going too bad uh too well. Uh also at the same time the regime are focusing on uh pushing for more war because the they've been itching for the return of the conflict because that's the only way they can have some sort of distraction and also basic unity inside the regime because the the so-called ceasefire and the blockade of HMOS is paralyzing and and obviously has caused a massive infighting. The only good news for the regime in Iran is that the big infighting and the coup has now stopped basically because um Ahmed Vahidi who's the leader of the IRGC who's basically in charge of the country his side have won. They are now in charge. So they they infighting they have been successfully crushing the other sides of the regime and the government. So technically things are calm relatively but obviously the rest of them are not helping the others. So it's not looking good but they are focusing on uh inviting the Americans back into Iran. So we this is Ibrahim Azizi who's the head of uh the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission. He and the government the legislators have now announced a 50 million euro uh bill for the assassination of President Trump. anybody anywhere in the world if they are able to successfully take out President Trump they will be getting 50 million euros. Now 50 million euros in Iran is it's huge because the currency is collapsed but they've saved up their money. That's part of the government budget and they basically introduced this new bill in parliament in Thran in order to do this. Now, after the first two, there were we've already had two failed assassination attempts against President Trump that were tied to the IRGC. Well, we see overall we had about three or four, but two of them were linked to the IRGC over the last 2 three years. And but now they think that it's probably best if they just uh create some sort of reward. So, anybody out there, whether you're a Democrats or a a trans activist or whatever you are, you can try to take out President Trump and you get you get paid by the regime in Iran. The issue is that they don't understand. I mean, there will be some crazy people who think that they're going to get paid, but you're not going to get paid. Even if you successfully take out President Trump, the US Treasury is not going to allow you to get paid. But the whole thing makes no sense. They are just desperate to provoke President Trump to return to the conflict. Meanwhile, the rest of the proxies and the Islamists, including the ones in Gaza, have been uh continuing to refuse to disarm, and they've been obviously rallying the the troops to attack Israel again. The IDF and Mossad discovered what was happening in Gaza over the last week or so. They received the approval and the green light from the Israeli government in order to carry out an assassination against the the Hamas leader, the military leader is Alin Al-Had in Gaza. Mossad and the IDF intelligence were operating for about a week and a half monitoring his behavior, where he's going, what sort of movement he's having. Eventually, a couple of hours ago, a few hours ago, in Gaza, the Israeli Defense Forces carried out this massive assassination. This is the video. Now, we have been in touch with the IDF. The initial assessment suggests that the assassination has been successful, but we have to wait for confirmation that they have to see it obviously with their own eyes to ensure that uh the Hamas military leader has been taken out. This will be a huge move in uh the the fight against the Islamic Republic's proxies because the in terms of senior and experienced leaders that they have whether it's Hezbollah or Hamas there not many of them left because the more the Israelis take them out the more they have to promote the younger ones and the inexperienced ones. So there's only a few left who are from the old guard of the IRGC's proxies. But this is a statement from Israel Katz, the defense minister in Israel, saying, "Under the direction of Prime Minister Benimin Netanyahu and myself, the IDF is now striking in Gaza against the arch murderer as Azadin al-Had, the leader of the military wing of Kamas and one of the architects of October 7th massacre. Hadad was responsible for the murder, abduction, and injury of thousands of Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers. He held our hostages in cruel captivity, launched the terrorist attacks against our forces, and refused to implement the agreement led by US President Trump to disarm Hamas of its weapons and demilitarize the Gaza Strip. He continued by saying that the IDF and Shimbet are effectively implementing the government's policy of containing threats and preemptively uh thwarting our enemies. We will continue to act with strength and determination against anyone who took part in the October 7th invasion. That this is a clear message to all the murderers who seek our lives. Sooner or later, Israel will get you. And of course this is the wider message not just to the proxies but to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp in Tehran. The Israelis obviously have confirmed that they are not done. We also had President Trump earlier on saying well late last night essentially President Trump said that the military decimation of Iran to be continued. So the the the job is not done yet, but uh they're just waiting for the blockade of hormones to continue doing it well and its job. And obviously it's it's doing a great job because the IRGC are can't even pay their own members. And obviously the more that happens, the easier it will get to bring down the regime when the Iranian people led by the immortal guard are called out to come out uh to take to the streets. At that moment, you're going to have a lot of these uh police officers and soldiers or whatever they are, security officials as part of the current regime in Iran. They're not going to have any appetite to follow orders to kill their own people as they also did obviously in January in the uprising. A lot of them refused to follow the orders, just disappeared. That's why the Islamic Republic had to bring in mercenaries from Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan to carry out the massacre. There is also the situation with the uh visit of President Trump to Beijing successfully. Apparently, according to the US government, discussions between President Trump and Xi Jinping managed to get China to at least publicly take the American side because they have to. I' I've been saying this for the past 2 3 years that at the end of the day the likes of China and Russia will only support their own partners and allies when those guys are useful and are strong. Perfect example is Syria under Assad. The moment that place was going down, Russians just stop supporting it. They say, "Okay, you you can come to Moscow. You can stay here. We'll get you an apartment, but uh Syria is gone." Same thing in Iran. China and Russia, they had a chance to get involved last year in June, a year ago during the 12-day war. They didn't get involved. Obviously, Tucker Carlson promised you World War II. Didn't happen. They also had another opportunity to get involved. Two months ago, Tucker Carlson said there's going to be a World War II. Russia and China didn't get involved. Obviously, indirectly, they continue to support the regime. That's different. But they did not join the conflict because they realized the regime in Iran is not winning anymore. It's not there's no point. You could give them a bit of support because of the alliance that they have. But the conversations between the Americans and Chinese includes several pressure points. So in terms of the nuclear pressure, China has now said that the Islamic Republic should never obtain a nuclear weapon. That's the US position. In terms of the straight of hormones, China said that the straight of hormones must remain open without any toll, any payment system or anything like that. That's obviously the want to create a new system. The Americans and the Chinese now agree uh that it should be open. The reason for that is because China didn't really care whether homes was open or closed because China had a relationship with the IRGC to allow the Chinese vessels and tankers to come in and go out. But since the US blockade started, the Chinese vessels have been struggling. One or two of them did go through, but obviously most of them got stuck and they realized, well, America is more powerful than the regime in Iran. So the Chinese said, yeah, actually we we're we're always on the same page. The horrors should be open because they know they can't really go to destroy the homes anymore. China is obviously prioritizing itself, not their so-called uh junior partners in Iran in terms of the security. They have said that they will not send weapons to the IRGC. Obviously, they saying that they could lie, but the Americans will be keeping an eye on the the the satellites and everything else to ensure that that doesn't happen. And uh the US China trade compared to the Iran and China trade, you can't even compare that. And President Xiin knew this that the reason that uh Beijing held this massive banquet and the the the red carpet and the YMCA everything when President Trump came because this this visit could have been an extremely cold and clinical visit but it was with a lot of pump. It it seemed like there are two allies. Obviously, they're not allies. They are rivals. But, uh, China had to take this seriously because, uh, the trade between the US and China is over 400 billion US dollars. Now, that's every year, but China and Iran trade is tiny, and it's only in millions of dollars, the tens of millions. And also, it's one-sided. So, it's not really in the interest of China to sacrifice its own position by try to uh get involved in the war in Iran because they know if they want to use the hard power, it's probably best to save it for Taiwan. They really care about Taiwan. Why would they waste the hard power for a dying regime in Iran? Mike Waltz, the US ambassador, also said that this was a huge outcome after the visit uh by President Trump. Let's quickly go to Mike Waltz. >> And and I've got to tell you to see the Chinese backing away from Iran after meeting with President Trump was a huge outcome of this of this. >> How did they back away from Iran? >> Well, they said they agreed no nukes, no militarization of the streets of Hormuz. And uh you can't be tolling the streets of Gibraltar or straights of Malaca or the Straits of Hormuz because you see it as a source of revenue. So that was a huge huge step in our direction. that he was telling the truth she when he said that they're not supplying anything to to Iran. >> Well, we've seen actually the we've seen uh China backing away even from some of this dual use, but the blockade is preventing it one way or another and the blockade is key >> and and that the last part is the main point because obviously as anybody would say like do you trust China? They would just say that. Obviously, they would just say that. Yeah, obviously if they just say something, oh yeah, we're not going to send weapons to Iran. You can't believe them. But the main point is they got China to say it, but it's not really about what they say. It's not even about them saying, "Yeah, of course we were going to agree." It's about the fact that they can't because the Americans are controlling the straight of hormones. So, China had to say that because they knew at this point it doesn't really matter. They can't actually send anything through the straight of Hormos and any any cargo plane that goes through Iran is being monitored. But again, the problem is also about what's going to happen to the junior members in the regime. That's why you have so many foreigners right now walking around the street of Iran. The people you see all these rallies that is dying down a little bit in Iran, the pro-regime rallies, they're all foreigners. Now um the crown prince Raza Palabi has released a new statement saying that he's now requested the Iran transitional justice regulation committee. Basically this is part of the transitional government that is announced as the opposition to provide its opinion on two important matters. first the criminal liability of those in the regime who collaborated with the structure in in Iran of the Islamic Republic to basically harm the citizens of Iran and secondly the confiscation of the property of protesters and their families. Uh basically the crown prince is preparing uh to before the final call to get the immortal guard and the Iranian people to come to the street again. You have to get things ready uh behind the scenes and this is part of that messaging. Let's quickly go to the crown prince with the English subtitles and then we're going to get your reaction. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! Darin Rosto Afroi. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Roast. Bashar. on.ch. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! foreign. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech. Foreign Foreign speech. for Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we can now quickly go as uh the Israeli Defense Forces have just launched a a mass massive strike uh on IRGC's Hezbollah wing in the tire. Uh let's quickly go and see what is going on over there. That's the So, we don't know what they've hit yet. 30 have been injured, apparently. Okay. Well, we we'll figure out we're waiting for the statement to find out what uh they have taken out, the Israeli Defense Forces entire. Uh but that was a big hit obviously. Uh so the Islamic Republic obviously in terms of the uh the results so far of this conflict they've lost their military bases. Their air force has been completely hammered. The IRGC Navy have lost all their big vessels and assets. They just have the little tiny boats, the speedboats. They've lost their military leaders. They've lost their political leaders. They've lost their supreme leader. uh they uh have now obviously lost access well to trade when it comes to the straight of hormones. The oil storage capacity has now reached their maximum and uh they can't even pay their own members wages. They can't transfer money or weapons to their proxies and uh everything is going absolutely fine. So it seems like the regime in Iran continue to struggle and President Trump without even a single shot been fired in the last few weeks continues to reduce the regime and their capabilities. Of course their nuclear capability has also been massively reduced and the ballistic missile program. So it seems to be extremely one-sided war so far. Uh but uh let's quickly get some reaction while we wait for uh intel from the Israeli Defense Force on what what they actually hit in Tire. What would your dad consider a a victory defeat of the regime? Um when the regime uh surrenders or gets dragged out. Uh please stay safe tomorrow. I need my daily dose of 2CTV. Yes, don't worry. I'll be fine. Uh tomorrow is our rally of course the United Kingdom rally in central London. I will be there making a speech. We just uh got update by the way that um our good friend Nick Shirley from the United States has successfully managed to enter the United Kingdom despite the fact that Kama has been trying to ban everybody from coming to Britain for this for tomorrow's rally. Nick Shirley is coming tomorrow and he's going to be making a speech at uh the United Kingdom protest. Which rebel group will be first to openly fight the control? You just listed all of them. Yeah. Uh free Iran Javish Sha Iran I hope is free before 2026 ends. Well, I've always said this this will be a very long long campaign because of how big Iran is as a country and how ruthless they are. They they don't tend to just surrender. You're going to have to drag them out. Your hair looks fabulous today, says Snook. Thank you. Uh Kevin says, "Any statement from Res Shah Resa Pabi today?" Oh, I'm I'm assuming Kevin posted that before I showed you the video of the crown prince. When the money stops flowing to their soldiers and mercenaries, the game will soon be over. But again, it will be the next stage, the next phase, which will be the what they call the final battle. It's only at that point that what what you said, Marcus, can be assessed because that's when we can judge the behavior of those who haven't been getting paid because they know that the regime is not on their side. You know, they don't even care about their own people. The US should just offer a bag of potatoes to IRGC members to retire their bosses. If oil gets on your Navy ships, we should uh bill them. News Justin Tucker has a new baby rattle. Okay. Uh the final battle may be much more decisive now. The troops are opening their eyes to one potato and deal pickle every day. Yeah, it's a slow death. We could probably start the revolution in Iran by sending Costco hot dogs. Costco also apparently sell Iranian flags in uh in LA, which is quite good. Pakistan is smuggling Iran oil through its land border and highly likely selling it to China. Shocking part Trump knows this. Yeah, of course. Everyone is I I already showed you on the map the the border crossings and the the have kind of stopped that because that was not the most effective way of getting the oil out of Iran. It was too much hassle and it was completely chaotic. Now you can see the spillage across the Persian Gulf because even that method you can't trust the Pakistanis to be organized and disciplined. That was the problem. Is it time to take out the pumps to the oil wells? Not really cuz they can't really produce anymore. They're going to shut down the whole thing themselves. How come Iran didn't do a preemptive strike while Trump was in China? Because they don't because the Islamic Republic is not is not holding any cards or any strength. They can't it's it's you're not dealing with a strong military or strong country in that sense. They they are a bunch of terrorists who are hiding in bunkers and caves and they come out every now and then with their missile launchers and then go back in hiding. They're not brave. It's not like you're dealing with some sort of like massive communist Russia army where they come standing in front of you with their tanks and everything else. That's they're just a bunch of weirdos uh who who are just occupying Iran as a country cuz if they do any sort of preemptive well they will be completely destroyed. It doesn't matter where President Trump is. Whether President Trump is in China or on the moon or in Bangladesh having curry, the US military would annihilate the Islamic Republic if they do a preemptive strike because President Trump has these things now. Um it's been invented recently. It's called uh phones, mobile phones or cell phones if you're in the US. They could tell him wherever he is. He can still get the updates. He doesn't have to wait for a fax machine. Uh, so everything is quick these days. Immortal guards will need USIsrael backup. Agree. They already have them. Yeah, at least the Israelis. Could the US send in our own oil tankers to Iran to take the oil? Well, they will be shot at, but yeah, they got missiles and drones. Iran still won't get paid for it, but they won't have to dump it, and we can use it for our oil reserves and normal use. to be fair, the Americans don't really need the oil from Iran. Um but um yeah, the IRS will just shoot at anyone and that just resumes the war. Inside or outside, Iran is uh great as it means wherever they are hiding, UK, Canada, they should be um extradited and have nowhere to hide. Yes, absolutely. The new IRC plans to raise revenue charging Starling space tolls on their satellites. Imagine you think we can get Trump to blockade the channel. It would guarantee the end uh to the small Actually, that's a good idea. Get the US Navy to do a blockade of the English Channel. Will Trump stay until midterm if necessary? It depends. Depends on uh what the opinion polls are saying at that point. But we still have a few months left. So if they uh if the war the strikes resume, even if they resume end of June, let's just say, or beginning of July, it won't they won't have to take that long. It will just be a few more weeks or a couple of more months uh before the Americans withdraw. Uh for tomorrow, include this Churchill's speech about tyranny mentions tyranny within or without. We will march together against it. Yeah, the problem is I can't really plagiarize because it'll be too obvious. Uh, that was a joke about Tucker. He talks nonsense like a toddler. Oh, that makes more sense. Okay. In your introduction is the very beautiful young lady talking into a microphone. Your wife. Yes, she is my wife Danielle and also the CEO of TCTV and occasional street reporter. She did it a couple of times. She enjoyed it. BBC reports Iran has seized a floating armory in the Gulf of Oman from China. Can you confirm? Uh I haven't received any intel on obviously if the BBC is reporting it. Uh that means that the IRC have claimed but uh I have not seen that. Should we check the BBC? When the when did the BBC say this? BBC? Come on. Rarely go on this website anymore these days. No, that was yesterday. What are you talking about? That was on the 14th of May. It's not even close to breaking news. That was the same one that they got yesterday. No. Yeah. No, that nothing to do with now. No, absolutely. Not that's the uh the ship that they got uh near the Foraya report in UAE um outside of the Straight of Hormosh near in the Gulf of Oman. That was Yeah, that was the one from yesterday. Okay. Anyway, I panicked. I was like, what? How is the BBC getting information before me? All right. So, we're going to continue this conversation with the members of TUCTV Plus. If you're not a member, nothing to do with YouTube by the way, away from YouTube, it's our own website and uh app. Go on twi.tv and uh click on discuss and that will take you to our chat forum. You get access to discord which is our private discord server and then you click on the voice channels underneath it says post live chat. I will be there in the next few minutes uh if you want to talk to me directly as uh members and we shall continue this. We're waiting for more updates from the IDF. Thank you so much for watching. I'm Maya Trusi and we are the media.

NYT recently did an article claiming 90% of Iran's missle launch sites are still up. I'll see if I can find the article later.
