0:00Dear viewers of Seatler TV, a warm
0:02welcome to you this Sunday evening. Yes
0:05, extremely shocking data has just
0:07reached me, and Iran has now made it
0:09clear from the highest level that they
0:11are fighting an existential battle
0:13intended to expel the USA from the
0:15region forever.
0:17When you see what is at stake here,
0:19especially for the civilian population,
0:21you will recognize the danger we are
0:23also exposed to because of this war, but
0:26above all, how many human lives are
0:28actually at stake.
0:31And I would just like to remind you that
0:33it was the US President himself who,
0:36before February 28, 2025, still said
0:38that he was only attacking Iran to give
0:41the people a better future.
0:44Yes, almost a year later, this has
0:45developed into a humanitarian
0:47catastrophe, which is driving Tehran to
0:49go to the extreme.
0:51So let us look at how determined the
0:53Revolutionary Guards are to resume this
0:56war to the bitter end.
1:00Yes, and with that, a warm welcome to
1:02Seatler TV, your fortress against
1:03disinformation and state propaganda.
1:08Yes, dear friends, the recent statements
1:10from the Iranian military leadership
1:12show that Tehran no longer considers the
1:14conflict with the United States and the
1:16West to be an ordinary military
1:18escalation.
1:20From the perspective of the Iranian
1:22leadership, it is now about nothing less
1:24than the existence of their own state,
1:26its territorial integrity, and the
1:27survival of its civilization.
1:31Today, Sunday, Brigadier General Hossein
1:33Mohebbi, spokesman for the Islamic
1:35Revolutionary Guards, issued a statement
1:37whose significance could hardly be
1:39clearer.
1:42And I know, dear viewers, I already
1:44pointed out here on Seatler TV a few
1:46days ago that it is an existential
1:49battle for Iran, and now this has been
1:51confirmed by an official source.
1:55Iran is in an existential war against
1:57the West, it says.
1:59This is not about a political
2:00misunderstanding that could simply be
2:03cleared up through negotiations or
2:05mutual concessions.
2:07Rather, the opponent is pursuing the
2:09goal of crushing Iran as a state,
2:11dividing its territory, and separating
2:14the Iranian people from their own
2:16identity and millennia-old civilization
2:19, said Mohebbi.
2:21With this, one of the highest-ranking
2:23representatives of the Revolutionary
2:25Guards describes a conflict in which,
2:26according to his portrayal, the focus is
2:28no longer on individual military or
2:30political demands, but on the entire
2:31future of the Islamic Republic.
2:35And thus you realize, dear viewers, that
2:38all this talk from the Western media
2:41landscape and the White House regarding
2:45an imminent peace agreement between
2:48Israel and the US was complete nonsense
2:51; for these Revolutionary Guards, these
2:54military forces they are lining up
2:57against the West, are now driven only by
3:01horror,
3:03and one must acknowledge this as an
3:06objective reporter, because this
3:09suffering, which is washing over the
3:12country like a tsunami, is madness.
3:16And this very assessment is crucial to
3:18understanding why the Iranian military
3:21leadership is now taking such an
3:22uncompromising stance.
3:25Mohappi declared that the West has
3:27already been waging a war against Iran
3:28for 73 years.
3:31This was by no means limited to military
3:33conflicts, but extended equally to the
3:36realms of culture, the economy, and
3:38civilization.
3:41The general thus presented the current
3:43confrontation as the culmination of a
3:45decades-long struggle, in which, from
3:48the Iranian perspective, all areas of
3:50national life are being attacked.
3:54I think, dear viewers, with the words of
3:56this General Mohappi, we recognize the
3:58gravity of the situation we are now
4:00facing.
4:02Particularly revealing is his reference
4:04to the recent statements by the Supreme
4:05Leader of the Islamic, or rather the
4:07Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah.
4:10Mohammad Khamenei.
4:12In a meeting with commanders of the
4:13armed forces, he had addressed the
4:15objectives of the adversary.
4:17Mohappi explained that a distinction
4:20must be made between material and
4:22immaterial goals. While military
4:24facilities and other physical targets
4:26could be identified and attacked, Iran
4:29must also act against the West on an
4:31entirely different level.
4:33The speaker explicitly cited media, art
4:35, and culture as instruments with which
4:38the adversary's immaterial resources and
4:40narratives should be countered.
4:44The Iranian leadership therefore views
4:46this conflict not exclusively as a war
4:49of weapons, but also as a battle for
4:51public perception, cultural identity,
4:53and political dominance of
4:55interpretation.
4:58Yes, they want to be understood, so to
5:00speak, and find recognition as a people
5:02with a thousands-year-old history.
5:05The Brigadier General went significantly
5:07further. According to his depiction, the
5:09West now finds itself in a strategic
5:11dilemma.
5:12On one hand, the adversary is reportedly
5:14unable to sustain the war indefinitely
5:16and achieve its original goals.
5:19He is, of course, alluding to the weapon
5:21shortages of the Americans, and on the
5:22other hand, a withdrawal threatens a
5:24significant loss of their credibility
5:26and international standing.
5:29Therefore, he sees an opportunity in
5:30this for Iran to fundamentally change
5:32the existing balance of power in the
5:34Middle East.
5:36And that also bears witness, dear
5:37viewers, to the fact that we will see
5:39something massive from Iran.
5:42Through determined resistance, Tehran
5:44could now help shape the political and
5:46security realities of the entire region
5:48and ultimately even rise to become a
5:50superpower.
5:52And with that, we come to perhaps the
5:53most important part of his speech.
5:57The spokesperson for the Revolutionary
5:58Guard called for the establishment of
6:00absolute deterrence.
6:02In other words, the creation of an
6:03absolute deterrent.
6:05Tehran must reach a military and
6:07strategic strength where no one would
6:09dare to attack its resources, its
6:11territorial integrity, or its
6:12civilization anymore.
6:14Mohabi explicitly emphasized that this
6:16goal is achievable.
6:18These statements show the strategic
6:20goals the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is
6:22pursuing.
6:23It is not just about warding off another
6:25attack.
6:26Tehran wants to create the conditions to
6:29ensure its opponents are no longer in a
6:31position to risk a military conflict
6:33with the Islamic Republic at all in the
6:35future.
6:36And from these lines, we can read what
6:38would truly face us in the event of a
6:40new outbreak of war.
6:41But while the Revolutionary Guard speaks
6:43of existential resistance, regional
6:45power, and absolute deterrence, figures
6:48are reaching us from inside the country
6:50that reveal a shocking reality, because
6:52the Iranian population is simultaneously
6:55in a social and economic state of
6:57emergency, the scale of which is hard to
6:59imagine.
7:01Also this Sunday, Ali Baba Haraman,
7:03Chairman of the Social Committee of the
7:05Iranian Parliament, published alarming
7:07data about the living conditions of
7:09millions of people.
7:11Dear viewers, that is why this is not
7:13propaganda from the West; it comes
7:15directly from the heart of Iran.
7:18According to this, around 8 million
7:20Iranians are now affected by absolute
7:22poverty and malnutrition.
7:248 million people who are no longer just
7:27dealing with financial difficulties, but
7:29with the sufficient supply of vital food
7:32items.
7:33Yes, and also, dear viewer, if we look
7:36at this in the context of Ukraine, it is
7:39always only about funds for weapons. I
7:42also ask myself, where is the funding
7:44for assistance to the civilian
7:46population?
7:48But now let us continue with Iran.
7:52You see, it is difficult for me to
7:54present this to you, because whenever I
7:57close my eyes, I see images in front of
8:00me—images sent to me directly from
8:03conflict regions—of small children who
8:06really have nothing more than
8:08hand-to-mouth existence.
8:12Yes, and that’s not all; up to 50
8:14million more people have significant
8:16trouble affording basics—meaning
8:18essential goods—to meet their daily
8:20nutritional needs.
8:22Caravanai described a situation in which
8:25massive parts of the population are
8:27trapped in a literal vicious cycle.
8:30People try to scrape together enough
8:33money for food and other necessary goods
8:35, but cannot even reliably acquire the
8:38amounts of food required to meet basic
8:40calorie and nutritional standards.
8:45What is particularly shocking is that
8:47this information does not come from a
8:49foreign organization, but from the
8:51chairman of the responsible social
8:52committee in the Iranian parliament
8:54itself.
8:57Yes, let that sink in, dear viewers,
8:59because these are also the consequences
9:01of this strangulation of the Iranian
9:02economy.
9:05I reported just yesterday that this
9:07operation, the Iron Gate, which Trump
9:09brought into being, will make this
9:11situation even worse.
9:13Karamani explained to the news outlet
9:16Iran that mismanagement in the
9:18implementation of a subsidy reform had
9:20contributed decisively to this
9:22development. The focus here is on the
9:25abolition of the previous preferential
9:27exchange rate of 285,000 rials per US
9:30dollar.
9:31The reform was supposed to maintain
9:33access to subsidized essential goods.
9:37But according to the MP, the flawed
9:39implementation means that large parts of
9:40the population can no longer be
9:42adequately supplied with food.
9:44A further figure illustrates how
9:46dramatic the financial burden has now
9:49become.
9:50According to Karamani, a family of four
9:53now needs a monthly income of at least
9:55one billion rials just to maintain a
9:58normal standard of living.
10:00At an exchange rate of 266,2
10:04000 rials per US dollar, that is just
10:07around $ 376, and even this income poses
10:10an enormous challenge for numerous
10:12families.
10:13The MP explained that the economic
10:15situation of the people is so dire.
10:18Many are forced to pursue not just one,
10:20but several jobs to be able to cover
10:22their cost of living.
10:25Dear viewers, I would like to interject
10:27here that this scenario, which is now
10:29leading to these circumstances through
10:31sanctions and the economic cutting off
10:33of Iran.
10:35That was what they had originally hoped
10:37to do with Russia as well. Just imagine
10:40this situation for a moment. While the
10:42political and military leadership speaks
10:45of an existential struggle against the
10:47West, millions of ordinary Iranians
10:49fight every day to put enough food on
10:51the table for their families.
10:54Yes, that is also the Iron Gate, dear
10:56viewers, which is once again being
10:58trumpeted to the world so effectively by
11:00the White House, and there are many
11:02people who still applaud it.
11:05And precisely therein lies one of the
11:07most shocking dimensions of this war,
11:08because further military escalation is
11:10hitting a population that is already
11:12suffering from massive supply problems.
11:14And while these shocking figures are
11:16becoming known, military reports from
11:18one of the most dangerous regions in the
11:20entire Middle East are simultaneously
11:22piling up; specifically, several oil
11:24tankers have been attacked in the Strait
11:26of Hormuz in the last few hours.
11:28The navy of the Iranian Revolutionary
11:30Guard announced that three more tankers
11:32caught fire in the strait this morning.
11:34According to the Iranian military, thick
11:36smoke is rising over the Strait of
11:38Hormuz. Tehran justifies the incidents
11:40by stating that the affected ships had
11:42used a route that was not authorized by
11:44the Iranian authorities.
11:47Furthermore, the Revolutionary Guard
11:49claims that the tankers had switched off
11:50both their navigation systems and their
11:52identification systems during their
11:54passage.
11:55The reason I am mentioning this so
11:57explicitly, dear viewers, is that, of
11:59course, one only takes such actions when
12:01there is no diplomacy left in the
12:03background.
12:05And Iran, as I have already explained in
12:08this video, is going to the extreme.
12:12The Iranian Navy is establishing a
12:14direct link between the behavior of the
12:15shipping crews, the support from the US
12:17military, and the attacks.
12:19At the same time, they issued an
12:21unmistakable warning. Other ships that
12:23take unauthorized routes through the
12:26straits with American support would have
12:28to expect the same fate. And this very
12:30warning makes it clear how dangerous the
12:32situation has now become, as the
12:34Revolutionary Guards are no longer
12:36limiting themselves to announcing their
12:38conditions for transit.
12:39They explicitly state that further
12:41violations of the routes set by Tehran
12:44will have corresponding consequences,
12:46namely the sinking or destruction of the
12:48ships.
12:50Yes, however, the Iranian Navy's
12:51statement does not provide details on
12:53which tankers are specifically affected
12:55.
12:55Neither the names of the ships, their
12:57nationality, the responsible shipping
12:59companies, nor the respective departure
13:01and arrival ports were mentioned.
13:03Meanwhile, independent sources are also
13:06reporting that tankers were hit.
13:08And these reports also mention drones.
13:12One of the two tankers described in more
13:14detail reportedly ran into a minefield.
13:17According to reports, these two ships
13:18were on their way from ports in Kuwait
13:20and the United Arab Emirates.
13:23I will also not tire of pointing out
13:25that Donald Trump repeatedly said that
13:28the Strait of Hormuz had been completely
13:31demined by the US Navy.
13:33Thus, alongside the reported attacks,
13:34possible mine dangers within the sea are
13:36also at the center of current findings.
13:39The situation is becoming particularly
13:41urgent due to further reports published
13:42by the British side on the same day. The
13:45British Merchant Navy authority reports
13:47, independently of the Iranian
13:48information, about two separate
13:50incidents in the Strait of Hormuz—that
13:52would bring us to five in just one day.
13:54The first occurred approximately 25
13:56miles northeast of Khasab in the Gulf of
13:58Oman.
13:59A fire broke out on a tanker there,
14:01which ultimately necessitated the
14:03evacuation of the crew.
14:05The sailors therefore had to leave the
14:07affected ship. In a second incident,
14:09another ship was hit hard while leaving
14:11the straits by what is always described
14:13as an unknown projectile.
14:15In these two cases as well, the British
14:17authority did not release the names of
14:19the affected ships.
14:20Whether all reports refer to different
14:22tankers or individual incidents are
14:25being recorded multiple times is
14:27therefore not entirely clear to Seadler
14:29TV from the available information.
14:32What is crucial, however, is that both
14:34the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and the
14:36British trade authorities are reporting
14:38dangerous incidents involving merchant
14:39ships in the Strait of Hormuz on the
14:41same day.
14:44Yes, and behind these attacks is a
14:46conflict that has been heating up
14:47further since the beginning of 2016.
14:51Since then, Iran has demanded that ships
14:53use only those routes through the seas
14:56that have been previously approved by
14:58Tehran. I reported yesterday that the
15:01Houthis are demanding a so-called
15:03registration system via email in the Bab
15:06al-Mandab.
15:08The United States, in turn, supports
15:10transit and thus opposes Iranian control
15:12over these important shipping lanes.
15:15And this is exactly where the interests
15:18of both sides collide directly, except
15:21that for the Americans it is about
15:23military measures, and for Tehran it is
15:25about protecting its existence.
15:29Tehran therefore claims control over the
15:31allowed passage routes, while Washington
15:33supports the passage of merchant ships
15:35that do not want to comply with these
15:36Iranian requirements.
15:39Yes, the recent attacks show the
15:40immediate danger that arises from this
15:42opposition.
15:43Because, dear viewers, the Revolutionary
15:46Guard has been under fire for the fourth
15:49night now.
15:52They are being pushed further and
15:53further into a corner by the Americans
15:55regarding their air defenses.
15:59For if another night were to pass where
16:01the most modern Iranian defense systems
16:04—which they received from China and
16:06Russia, among others—are destroyed by
16:09American fighter jets,
16:12then the US will eventually manage to
16:15cut a corridor through Iran that would
16:17enable them to drop extremely heavy
16:20bombs again on the so-called uranium
16:22enrichment sites or the suspected
16:24uranium enrichment facilities.
16:28Yes, and Iran simply cannot allow that.
16:33And in view of what General Mohappi
16:36expressed here, we must therefore assume
16:38that they will decide on a massive
16:41counterstrike, which, from his
16:43perspective, would prevent this, shall I
16:45say, dying of millions of people who can
16:48barely make ends meet because Iran is
16:50being completely strangled economically
16:53.
16:55And that is indeed one of the main goals
16:57of the USA, to force the Revolutionary
16:58Guard to capitulate.
17:00But history has taught us, and I do not
17:03want to defend the Revolutionary Guard
17:05in any way.
17:07History has taught us that whenever
17:09power structures had their backs to the
17:12wall and the civilian population was
17:14involved, they still opted for war, even
17:16though it resulted in millions of
17:18casualties among the people.
17:22Yes, and that will likely be the case
17:23with these hardliners in the
17:25Revolutionary Guard as well.
17:28Therefore, I do not want to demonize one
17:30side here and highlight the other, not
17:32at all.
17:34Dear viewers, the Revolutionary Guard
17:36would naturally have had to reach some
17:38kind of compromise long ago if it were
17:40only about the civilian population.
17:43Simply for the sake of these poor souls
17:45, these poor people, and especially the
17:47children, the sick, and the weak, who
17:48can barely make ends meet. But they will
17:51not do that, and the Pentagon naturally
17:55knows this, which is why I find it
17:58madness to push this escalation to such
18:01an extent.
18:03And only because these elites know, dear
18:05viewers, what they are doing to the
18:07people—to the Iranian people—do they
18:09also have so much respect and fear of
18:11Iran's counterstrikes.
18:14And I make these videos so that we here
18:17, who are supposed to go through life
18:19more or less carefree and not notice
18:22these developments, can be informed.
18:25We should know what this is about.
18:29And if it comes to an escalation, then
18:31at least one knows how it came about
18:34once again, namely, that neither of the
18:36conflict parties wanted to find a way to
18:39end this war peacefully.
18:42Just as it actually could have been in
18:45the Ukraine-Russia conflict since '22.
18:48Back then in Ankara, where a concrete
18:50peace treaty was more or less prevented
18:52by Boris Johnson.
18:54Yes, you see, so we have to watch
18:57closely again tonight to see what
18:59happens. I will stay on it for you.
19:01Nevertheless, have a wonderful evening.
19:03Thank you for everything. Thank you for
19:05such great support. Without you, none of
19:08this would be anything. Your Richard
19:10from Seadler TV.
