The World Shrugs At Dead American Soldiers While Iran Escalates

If you think the chaos in the Middle East is one story, you’re asleep — it’s a full-blown regional reset and the media is gaslighting you. The U.S. has struck Iran for nine straight nights, Houthis have declared a maritime embargo on Saudi shipping, Hamas just promoted a new political chief, Kurdish fighters are reporting white‑phosphorus drone attacks, and American soldiers are dead — all while pundits argue about tone instead of naming who’s pulling the strings; this isn’t isolated, it’s a coordinated breakdown of order across the region and the world is pretending it’s business as usual. In this episode of The Rant Network, we cut through the “Israel’s war” framing and lay out why the Iran conflict is being treated like a messaging battle instead of a security crisis with real casualties.

Whose War Is It Really

SPEAKER_00 0:02

Welcome back to Monday people. You know, Stuart, it's amazing to see that when when the you know when Trump declared war on Iran, you know, everybody called it Israel's war. It's Israel's influence. You have all these these influencers, these media people, politicians, Rokana, late, the last one to kind of like throw his hat into the Israel hateful ring. And even JD Vance, that schmuck, who's supposed to be on Trump's side, is talking about Israel's influence, this war, and you know, this is BB's war and all that kind of shit. But doesn't seem to be that Trump is going to give anybody that. This is Trump who wants to finish up finally, once and for all, this Iranian regime in a Middle East that the people in the West still can't see what's really going on. Buddy, what do you see?

SPEAKER_01 0:57

Uh well, look, first of all, Yemen Houthis

Iran Strikes Back And Americans Die

SPEAKER_01 1:01

declare maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia. I mean, that's just Yah baby. Okay. Iran just killed three American soldiers, a 19-year-old girl from the United States Army, 25-year-old lieutenant, and the international community's response to this is worry about diplomatic tone. I'm done with diplomatic tone. Quote, Donald Trump isn't good. Let me tell you exactly where we are. Today is July 20th, 2026. Because the media is going to bury this in both sides. Language, and I'm not going to let that happen. The United States military has now struck Iran for nine consecutive nights. Nine nights. We're hitting military sites, communication infrastructure, and I'm quoting Sencom directly, further diminishing Iran's ability to hold the Strait of Vermouth hostage any longer. Believe it or not, the DBC is actually reporting. No, no. This isn't recklessness, this is consequence. Something for 47 years the regime hasn't had to deal with. Because here is what Iran's been doing. They've been using one of the most critical shipping corridors on planet Earth, the Strait of Harmood, which roughly 20% of the world's oil supply actually passes. As a weapon, as leverage. Quotations will not be safe for transit of petrochemical products, nor even a single drop of oil or gas. As long as the U.S. keeps striking them.

SPEAKER_00 3:06

Sorry. Yeah, there's your there's your peace partner, buddy.

SPEAKER_01 3:11

There's not a government talking that is a hostage taker. You know, that's all that is. IRGC is a hostage taker. Trying to hostage oil and gas. And the hostages they took, Private Isabella Gonzalez, 19-year-old, killed in Jordan on Friday. Lieutenant Tyler James Frehan, 25-year-old, killed in Jordan. And a third U.S. soldier killed in North Iraq on Saturday. A fourth American is still missing after the Jordan attack. And the Pentagon is reporting they've found. And I want you to hear this. Unidentified remains. Nineteen-year-old unidentified remains. And the left wants to debate whether Trump is being too aggressive. Why can't it be someone related to AOC? Secretary of State Marco Rubio

The Strait Of Hormuz As Leverage

SPEAKER_01 4:22

said something this weekend that I think deserves more credit than it's getting. He said, and this time, the framing of the entire world should be using. The world has to decide whether or not it's going to allow international waterways to be under control of Iran. That's exactly right. That is the question, and Trump's Nine Nights Strikes answers that question without a political pause.

Hamas Leadership Changes And Qatar Questions

SPEAKER_01 4:56

Now, where it gets even darker because while Trump is bombing Iran military sites in response to dead American soldiers, today in the morning, Hamas named the new head of the Political Bureau. His name is Khalil Al-Hayah. And who he Khalil Hala, he was Hamas's chief wartime negotiator. He's the man who sat across the table from everyone trying to broker a ceasefire while Hamas kept killing, murdering innocent women and children. He was within Ismail Hale in Tehran the day Israel had Hainani assassinated. And now he runs the political wing of a terrorist organization. Good job. Living comfortably in Qatar, by the way, a country that hosts a U.S. military base, claims to be our partner, which is bordering of laughter, as David likes to point out. As Al-Hayah started View of October 7th, he said it meant to capture a number of soldiers, but that the Zionist army unit completely collapsed. That's the man the world is now expected to negotiate peace. Yeah. Right. Makes a lot of sense. And if you think that's bad, as the same day Kurdish Freedom Party released a field report accusing Iran of using white phosphorus, you should Google that, everyone, in a drone strike in Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq. Nine wounded press magic soldiers, white phosphorus, a weapon that the WHO describes as something that sticks to skin and clothing. Once ignited, it's impossible to extinguish. Being used against Kurdish dissidents who have no air defense against Iranian drones. Attacks in a region that has suffered over 900 Iranian and Iranian-backed militia attacks in just recent months. The press, all you hear is more crickets. 900 attacks, white phosphorus, zero UN emergency sessions, zero front pages. However, Mandami is trying to figure out how to arrest Benjamin Dynamic. Yeah. But let someone accuse Israel of anything, and it's wall-to-wall coverage. Here's my problem. And this is where it goes politically.

White Phosphorus Claims And Media Silence

SPEAKER_01 7:37

JD Vance is already out there signaling a restraint first. Foreign policy as he positions for his 2028 run. And again, that's a statement. The Washington Examiner ran a piece today headlining a Chinese missile exposed the risk of the Vance doctrine. Think about that. We have dead American soldiers in Iran, because of their regime, deploying chemical class weapons on civilians. Not Israelis, too. We're talking about in the north of Iraq. Hamas is proding its top terrorist as political chief. And someone who wants to be the next president of the United States is softening on Israel. The one country in the entire region that actually has been fighting this very same enemy that the United States is fighting. And this is what you hear in the press. Iran didn't become dangerous last week, guys. It's been dangerous for 47 years. Trump just ends that debate. Don't let 2028 ambition walk it back. Wake up, JD. David. You know when I say David, you see already smirk. Rubio always remains open for a diplomatic solution.

Vance, Europe, And The Politics Of Restraint

SPEAKER_01 9:06

Even while bombs are falling. It's the right message. It's right now, right? Or is it comparing military strikes with diplomatic olive branches weaken the defense? And I can argue, David. The whisper, the ambiguity.

SPEAKER_00 9:29

No, no, here's here's an interesting take, Stuart. Okay. What you said was it's just funny, right? You listen to what you said. In what world do the bad guys get the sympathy and the good guys get the hate? Well, let me remind you about after October the 7th. That's exactly what happened. Hamas has gotten global sympathy, masked in this palace pro-Palestinian, you know, love fare, which has been proven to be completely false. And instead of waking up to a reality, Israel is the one who's condemned, Jews are condemned globally. And we've seen what has happened with the exploding of anti-Semitism on a global scale. You know, Stuart, it's very interesting what you just said about Iran. Iran is the good guy in this because the Democrats, the media, the left got left lefty governments that are that are like disappearing little by little in the West. But you know, you forgot that we have a new prime minister in the UK who's gonna go after Trump over this war. Because he thinks Trump's wrong. Because this guy who was just recently the mayor of Manchester, suddenly now the prime minister of the UK, he knows better because his foreign affairs policy is perfect. Because the people who've supported him all along are the people you're fighting, the haters. The people who supported this new prime minister, he's surrounded by the haters, and he has to appeal to his base. That's right. And so he's gonna go after Trump to have a diplomatic solution. Emmanuel Macron, same thing. He wants a diplomatic solution. Because, of course, the French they're known for surrender, so we know where they stand in their in their history. But Stuart, you know it's fascinating. You talk about the bad guys are getting the sympathy, and it doesn't stop.

Aid, Propaganda, And Who Blocks Relief

SPEAKER_00 11:25

Let me ask you something to do, people. I want you to Google humanitarian aid in Hamas. And what you're gonna find when you Google that is that a year ago, Israel was condemned of so-called quote-unquote blocking humanitarian aid to Palestinians. But if you dig a little deeper, ladies and gentlemen, one week ago, the United Nations actually declared that it was Hamas who has been blocking humanitarian aid. Shh, Stuart, your crickets, please. I need those crickets. I need those crickets. Okay. Apparently, according to UN Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Ramiz Al Khab Al Akbaw said he quote strongly condemned the obstruction of humanitarian operations by Gaza, de facto authorities referring to Hamas. See, you can't even call them out by name, the de facto authorities. So you see, Stuart, the game is continues to be afoot. It doesn't really make a difference who the good guys are. The way that the bad guys are the good guys, and it's it's it's it's it's just sickening to me to see that the United States was trying to shift, you know. I don't understand over the weekend, Stuart. Iran attacked Jordan. Did Jordan attack Iran? No, they attacked different parts of the Middle East. Did they attack Iran? Nope. But because they have military bases there, U.S. military bases, they've decided, they've rewritten the rules of war that they can attack at will. Now imagine, if you will, Stuart, you know, Canada attacking the United States because there's an embassy there that belongs to said foreign country and Israel and Canada would attack it. I mean, like the nonsense, the nonsense that the world has allowed and permitted Iran to get away with is unbelievable. And what you just said about the phosphorus weapon, which by the way is illegal according to the Geneva Convention, goes unmentioned because the Kurds, people don't even know what Kurds, they think of Kurds in way. They don't think they don't understand that there's a there is a people called the Kurds who have been. I think you know, like people don't realize that they're a displaced people. So once again, the world is picked and choose who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. Stuart Marco Rubio continues to say, listen, we'd love a diplomatic solution, but we know we're dealing with a terrorist group. We know we're dealing with a country that continues to promote terror. Even Pakistan, who was hoping to get some sort of elevation, is scratching their head, going, What the hell are we supposed to do now? We brought Iran to the table. Now there's a rumbling now, there may be a 10-day ceasefire. Maybe. Bullshit. You know, once again, it's Iran playing games. The world steward is being duped because the media doesn't want to give the truth, doesn't want to give the unvarnished truth. The BBC, the CNNs, all these guys are going to continue to paint Trump as a warmonger when in reality it's been Iran, as you said, for 47 years, who declared war on the West and hasn't stopped. Death to America isn't only restricted to America people. It'll be death to the UK, death to France, death to Spain, all these countries that want to wrap themselves around the Iranian

The Iranian People And The Closing Warning

SPEAKER_00 14:43

flag. And you know, Stuart, when the people again who are continuously being ignored are the Persian people. The people who want to bring back the old Shah from about 47 years ago, who want to return it to a modern state, not an Islamic state, they're still ignored, even though they protest every Saturday, wanting change in Iran. The world doesn't care for them. And that is a sad statement today.

SPEAKER_01 15:09

David, I'd like to go on and on and on today. But the day is just starting, the week's just begun. I'm gonna tell you, let's wrap it up, let's call it a day, and let's send this.

SPEAKER_00 15:23

Okay, nothing more to add. So, ladies and gentlemen, once again, once again, like wake up. You know, Stuart, I'm gonna just let me let me give you one last line. We have an entire generation that has been indoctrinated to believe that the West is bad, and people who are being need our city. I don't think Iran, the leadership in Iran, the the Ayatollah who's run away from Iran, by the way, the IRGC who's running Iran, they don't need our sympathy. They need condemnation. The world has to wake up to realize where the bad really is and stop believing this bullshit. Even though you have all these candidates running around the United States, Stuart, who are preaching hate against America, including one particularly now in Michigan. Let's be real. Wake up, people. Wake the hell up. Let's end it.

SPEAKER_01 16:20

David, it's a wrap! All right, guys, here every Monday, Wednesday, Friday noon Easter. We'll battle down and shake that tree, grab a post and the likes. By the way, we know the bots, we like them. So much, David, kill it.
