I changed the title to be more specific. The video shows Trey Yingst reporting about a phone call he had with Trump. Trey Yingst is a Fox News reporter who works in Israel. He talks with Trump over the phone a lot. RapidResponse47 is a Trump-administration-owned twitter account.

Last night, IRGC attacked the US military base in Jordan. They've attacked this base before, including an attack that killed 3 US troops. Notable there were no sirens going off the previous videos of the attack, indicating that the attacks bypassed the US detection systems

For the past 2 weeks, Iran's attacks have been tit-for-tat. The pattern of the past 2 weeks follows: Iran closed Strait of Hormuz -> US tells commercial ship to go through Strait of Hormuz -> Iran attacks ships for violating closure of Strait of Hormuz -> US attacks Iran civilian infrastructure -> Iran attacks US military bases. Iran would attack US bases after US attacked Iranian infrastructure.

The pattern was broken yesterday. The US had not announced any attacks Iran since Friday. Iran had not attacked US bases since Friday.

IRGC said that the attack yesterday was due to ships trespassing in the Strait of Hormuz. This was the first time of the past 2 weeks that Iran attacked US bases without the US launching strikes on Iran on the same day.

US regime is pretending to be surprised by the attack. Trump swearing like this feels like desperation.

Shortly after Iran's attack on the US base in Jordan, US-Saudi conducted joint airstrikes in Iraq.

Also want to add that Iran possibly wants to disable the US base in Jordan because Jordan is the country between Iran and Israel.
