00:00And Trump has just told reporters he would continue the war to seize Iran's oil if it was up to
00:06him,
00:07but claims public opinion is steering him towards a ceasefire.
00:12How should we interpret this mix of personal ambition and public pressure in shaping U.S. policy?
00:20So we're very, very far from this idea of seizing Iran's oil.
00:25I mean, at no point the U.S. was able to seize, as in the word implies, seize Iraqi oil,
00:33despite 177,000 strong invasion force.
00:39177,000, to put things in perspective, Trump is attempting to, claiming to seize Iran's oil,
00:46change the regime, destroy any projects of nuclear or WMD's presence,
00:53cut the ties with the proxies between, quotations, terrorist groups,
00:58and opened the Strait of Gormuz with tenths of the force that attempted to invade Iraq.
01:06So out of the, now the maximum force put together, we're talking about 17,000.
01:11The invasion of Iraq was done by 177,000.
01:14So he's attempting maximum with limited resources.
01:18That's not a strategy.
01:19That's strategic chaos.
01:22So he can give ultimatums.
01:26He had multiple operational successes in terms of CIA, DIA, the suppression of enemies' air defenses,
01:37the destruction of enemies' air defenses, degradation of the medium-range and short-range missile stocks
01:46of the Iranian regime and all of this, but it's very far from seizing the country or seizing its oil.
01:52Very, very far.
