00:26There was a ceasefire.
00:28There was a ceasefire, signed, agreed, in place since April of 2026.
00:33And then, overnight, it shattered.
00:35Iran says America fired first.
00:38The U.S. says Iran attacked without provocation.
00:42Three American destroyers caught in the middle of the world's most critical waterways.
00:47So who actually broke the deal?
00:49According to Tehran, here's what triggered everything.
00:52U.S. forces targeted an Iranian oil tanker near Jask, a port on Iran's southern coast,
00:59and then conducted airstrikes on Bandar Khmer, Sirik, and Keshe Island.
01:04The IRGC called it an open, deliberate violation of the April ceasefire, mediated by Pakistan,
01:12extended across weeks of fragile diplomacy.
01:15In their framing, Iran didn't start this fight.
01:18It finished it.
01:19What followed was what the IRGC described as a massive and highly precise combined operation — ballistic missiles, cruise missiles,
01:29loitering drones, and fast-attack boat swarms against USS Truxton, USS Rafael Peralta, and USS Mason.
01:38Iranian state media claimed significant damage to all three ships and said the destroyers were forced to retreat from the
01:46Strait of Hormuz.
01:46CENTCOM told a completely different story.
01:50No American ship struck a tanker.
01:52No ceasefire violation.
01:54Iran launched an unprovoked assault.
01:57And U.S. Aegis defenses intercepted every single incoming missile, drone, and fast boat.
02:04American forces then hit back — drone launch sites, coastal defenses, radar installations near Bandar Abbas and Keshe Island.
02:13Then, Trump stepped the microphone and said something that stopped everyone cold — a trifle, a love tap.
02:21The ceasefire is still in place, but Iran better sign an agreement fast.
02:26Worldwide, our military is unbelievable.
02:28They're doing an unbelievable job.
02:31We're negotiating with the Iranians.
02:35We have — you probably heard, we took our three destroyers and we rammed them through some pretty big stuff
02:43today, and we knocked the hell out of them.
02:45The destroyers weren't hurt in any way.
02:48The people weren't hurt, but they were firing at us, and we were firing back at them.
02:53And our firepower was a hell of a lot stronger than theirs, and they knocked the hell out of them.
02:58They took down a lot of small boats — you know, we call them small boats or fast boats.
03:03They're both small and they're fast, with some weaponry on the front, you know, this is what — so they
03:09— this is now replacing the Navy.
03:13They had a Navy — 159 boats.
03:16They have none, okay?
03:18They're all at the bottom of the sea, so they replaced that with what they call the fast boat, but
03:22it's a fast boat.
03:23Big deal.
03:23It's fast.
03:24Got a machine gun in front.
03:26They've been knocked down — they knocked out quite a few of them today, and yesterday they knocked out eight
03:31— the average eight a day.
03:33This is some group of people we're dealing with.
03:36So, you know, it's very simple.
03:39Somebody said, what's your plan?
03:40I said, the plan is very simple.
03:42Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, it cannot have a nuclear bomb, and it's not going to happen.
03:50They're really at the end of the line — really are at the end of the line.
03:54Now, unless you guys feel differently — now, these guys, I think, will say that Iran could not have a
04:00nuclear weapon, would you say?
04:02We wouldn't feel very good if they did, because this is what you're doing, and all the work that you
04:06do and that we do,
04:07it wouldn't look too very good after a while with these characters.
04:12We're not going to give them the right to have a nuclear weapon.
04:15There's zero chance, and they know that, and they've agreed to that.
04:20Let's see if they are willing to sign it.
04:22A love tap.
04:24Iran fired ballistic missiles at American warships, and the U.S. president called it a love tap.
04:31That framing alone tells you how high the stakes have become.
04:35Here's what both sides are dancing around.
04:38The Strait of Hormuz is not just a military flashpoint — it's an economic trigger.
04:43Oil just crossed $100 a barrel.
04:47Global markets are rattled.
04:48Iranian missiles have also been reported near the UAE.
04:52And the ceasefire — already extended twice — is now being violated by both sides' own admission, depending on who
05:00you ask.
05:00Diplomatic channels are still open.
05:04Iran says America fired first.
05:06America says Iran attacked without cause.
05:09The ceasefire says neither side should be firing at all.
05:13Somewhere in the middle of those competing truths is a strait that the entire world depends on,
05:19and two nuclear-adjacent powers trading missiles across it while calling it a love tap.
05:25The next 48 hours will tell us whether this stays a skirmish or becomes something much harder to walk back.
