Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report. Let's leave the

Strait of Hormuz alone. President Trump was reportedly shocked to see many thousands of

Iranians in the street mourning at the funeral of the country's late leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamani,

over the weekend.

Kamani was assassinated by the United States at the beginning of the February U.S. surprise attack on Iran.

The U.S. attack on Iran was sold to Trump by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and U.S. neocons as an easy

cakewalk that would lead the Iranian government to fall and be replaced with a U.S. friendly

regime.

I thought they hated him, Trump said, oh, the murdered religious leader of Iran.

Not only did the Iranian people not rise up to replace their leadership with one friendly

to Washington, but the society seemed to have become even more cohesive and patriotic. This should surprise no one, as when similar tragedies occurred in the United States,

assassinations, 9-11, etc. We also, as a society, came closer together.

In soccer, when you kick the ball into your own goal, it's referred to as an on goal.

That is what President Trump achieved with his attack on Iran on February 28th.

In fact, it was not just one own goal, but a series of them.

The blunder will likely go down in history as one of the worst foreign policy moves in our history.

The Iranians did not rise up and declare support for the U.S.

American military bases throughout the region

are so severely damaged by Iranian retaliation that most cannot be brought back online. Scores

of U.S. military equipment has been destroyed or damaged at a cost of tens of billions of dollars.

Countries in the region are rethinking their decision to essentially become protectorates of the

United States now that it is demonstrated that they cannot be protected by the United States.
