Donald Trump has just threatened genocide against Iran, not hyperbole. That's the statement

0:05.7

he's just released. He's threatening the permanent destruction of Iran. He's clearly

0:11.2

threatening to use nuclear weapons against Iran. And he's clearly been doing that for days,

0:16.6

by the way, screaming the obvious. The media's not been talking about it. Journalists are challenging him on it at his deranged press conferences. It tells you a lot about the role of the corporate and mainstream media in the West. Now, as we'll see, the likes of the BBC are actually normalising the potential use of nuclear weapons. And it's even fallen to the likes of Tucker Carlson,

0:39.2

a former Trump cheerleader to spell out what is going on here. I'm just going to read out now

0:43.7

what Trump has just posted on his truth social network. This is what he said. A whole civilization

0:49.5

will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably

0:55.9

will. However, now that we have complete and total regime change, we're different, smarter,

1:01.3

unless radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionary wonderful can happen tonight. Who knows?

1:07.8

We will find out tonight one of the most important moments and the long and complex

1:11.9

history of the world. 47 years of extortion, corruption and death will finally end. God bless

1:17.8

the great people of Iran. Just to emphasise that first part. A whole civilization will die tonight,

1:24.7

never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. He's threatening to exterminate Iran. He's threatening to

1:32.9

permanently destroy Iran. This is a threat of genocide. There is absolutely no debate to be

1:39.2

had about that. That's what he means. If you take him literally, that's what he means. He means he's

1:43.0

threatening genocide. And the only possible explanation for that is he's threatening to use nuclear

1:48.7

weapons against Iran. It doesn't actually make sense otherwise. And there is evidence to show

1:53.7

that is exactly what he means, which we're going to go into. I mean, the point there he says

1:57.8

about the regime changing and it's, you know, now less extreme or whatever nonsense. It's more hard line than it was. It's just complete nonsense. You've got to hope that that section is him offering some sort of off-ramp. You better hope and pray. All of us better. I'm not a believer, but those of you are believers. Yeah, I think, you know, this is probably the sort of time people would pray.

2:19.1

Because what we're talking about here is one of the most dangerous moments in the history of our species.

2:28.0

Got to spell that out. That's what we face right now.

2:31.2

There are a few moments in human history as dangerous as this.
