Oh, since we last spoke, Iran has chosen their new leader, and it is not looking like a good sign for this war. Some truly apocalyptic scenes are coming out of Thran, and even their reign has turned black. Fears were heightened for terror attacks over the weekend with the US embassy in Norway being hit with an explosive. And after overthrowing their government, Nepal is now about to elect a rapper as their new leader. Nepal needs to be studied. all of that and so much more. Subscribe to the channel right now and let's stop the yapping and let's go to [ __ ] Okay, we got to start today with one of the major developments in this war. Iran has a new supreme leader. And boy, this is about to get interesting. Not only because the US strikes killed his father, which was the former Supreme Leader, but also his wife, his mother, and sister, too. Bro, the revenge arc is is it's written. It's about to go crazy. But on top of that, this guy is mysterious as hell. Not many people know much about him. In fact, reports state that many Iranians themselves don't even know what he sounds like. Now, what we do know is that his name is Mushtab Hami. He is the second oldest son of Iran's former leader. He is 56 years old. He avoids the public. Keeps a pretty low profile. In fact, I don't believe he has ever done a public speech, public interview. He was in the military during the Iran Iraq war. And when he was sworn in, politicians and also the defense council. They issued a statement which reads, "We will obey the commanderin-chief until our last drop of blood." Bam. That's that's that's a lot of commitment. Alex, will you obey your commanderin-chief, Mark Carney, as with your last drop of blood. No longer than one sentence. Okay, Alex, nothing more. We don't want to hear it. But by Mushabar taking this position of becoming the new leader of Iran, he's putting his life in risk in a major way. I mean, not only has Israel already tried to assassinate him in the past, but they have vowed to target any successor of his father. And Trump said also last week that this appointment would not be acceptable to him. So the big question is how long does he last? And the second big question is does he escalate or deescalate this war? Let me know what you guys think in the comments. But for now, moving on. God, I think it's the mold. I think it's And now I now I've seen it. I in fact I declare today a domestic war on this mold. I think I'm going to be getting very ill from it. And it's not great. I've ordered a hazmat suit. I have ordered a gas mask. And I will be going to town on that mold's ass. I'm telling you now, you will absolutely obliterate it. Obliterated in a way that the world has never seen before. Now, back to the Iran war rapid fire updates. Day 11. Firstly, both sides are refusing to back down. Trump said that there will be no deal with Iran except for unconditional surrender while their Iran's foreign minister said >> we don't see any reason why we should negot negotiate with the US. So there is no request for a ceasefire by us and there is no request for the negotiation with the US from us. You have never sent any messages to them. Now >> this is all while the US and Israel have said that they are now moving into a quote new phase of the war. And on Sunday, we might have seen that happen because they carried out large strikes targeting Iran's oil refineries and storage facilities for the first time. And boy, did that create some insane visuals. The world woke up to videos of enormous fires and thick plumes of black smoke that filled the skies of Tehran. In fact, the fires were so bright that one resident told the BBC it was as if night had turned into day. But when morning came, it was the opposite because this thick dark smoke blocked out the sun. And I mean, just look at this visual. It really looks like the end of days. And a CNN reporter on the ground showed that the rain had actually blackened, appearing to become saturated with oil. But you can see that the rain, the rain water is actually black. Also saturated, it appears with oil. And then if we look over there, you can see that the the water that's running down here, this sort of oil filled rain that we have right now and saturated oil with rain doesn't sound great. I wonder if you lit it, would it would the rain ignite? That would be surreal if it did. Now, similar shocking scenes came out of Kuwait where a large government building was engulfed in flames after being hit by a suspected Iranian drone amid a wave of strikes on the country. Also on Saturday in Dubai, passengers had to be taken into tunnels and flights were briefly suspended after a drone struck nearby. And also actually talking about this new phase of war that the US and Israel say that they are entering now. Pete Hegsath just suggested the longest duration of this war yet. He said up to eight weeks which doubles the initial four that they said and this is despite Trump saying many times that we are way ahead of schedule. And let me tell you that is going to be expensive because you know just putting aside all of the economic factors that are going on in the war because of it. The war alone apparently is going to be costing about $891 million per day. So near $1 billion per day and that is according to a think tank based in Washington DC. Uh they base their analysis off of Pentagon official data and that also means that if it does last this 8 weeks which already we are hesitant you know any rough dates of wars will probably go past. But if it does go at this cost rate for that full 8 weeks that's $50 billion in less than 2 months. But it's not just the price tag that grows each day the conflict continues. It's also the heightened concern for attacks on US and foreign soil. I mean, Trump acknowledged for the first time over the weekend that there is a possibility of retaliatory attacks on US soil. And in an interview with Time magazine, he essentially said, I guess, quote, "We think about it all the time. We plan for it. Like I said, when you go to war, some people will die." Now he has said that before but I think most people assumed when he meant Americans could die. We kind of thought that was the ones who are part of the military and you know the service members not necessarily civilians in America but I guess that's possible too apparently. Now because of this there has been as I mentioned in the previous video a lot of extra heightened caution. You know on Saturday a Southwest Airlines flight had to be diverted to Atlanta in response to what they called a possible security matter. And I've never actually seen this procedure before. >> Oh yeah. This time we need everybody have their heads down and hands up. Heads down. Hands up. >> Stand up. I mean, all passengers, as you can see, you know, Alex gracefully showing you this footage here, were instructed to put their heads down, hands up as these armed officers walked through the plane and they arrested an indivi an individual. Now, in the end, no credible threat was found or any harmful devices on the plane, but it just goes to show, you know, how concerned authorities are right now. Not only that, but that same day in New York, two people were taken into custody after igniting these suspicious devices during an anti-Islam protest. >> Authorities said on the back of that one, we don't know whether or if it was a freaking prank or or whatever, if it was just to incite fear, but they don't believe that there was any harmful, you know, actual explosives in there. But then at the same time talking about actual explosives over in Norway, the US embassy in Oslo was hit by an explosion uh early Sunday morning which caused you minor damage but no injuries. And lastly, we've got new waves of this war escalating because you know the Middle East is a largely just a dry desert, right? Well, guess what? Freshwater desalination plants are now being targeted. Damn, attacking water is wild. Now, Bahrain claimed that an Iranian drone attack caused damage to one of their plants, while Iran accused the US of deliberately bombing one of theirs in Quashim Island, calling it a quote blatant and desperate crime. Now, that is a wrap for pretty much up to day 11. Um, there's going to be a lot more updates from here every day, I think. Surely there's not going to be a lot more. No, no, no, no. Every time it's wild. But for now, MOVING ON. OKAY, next story is kind of strange because while there's a raging war in the Middle East, Israel decided to carry out a pretty strange operation in Lebanon. And it's probably not what you think because the target was a cemetery to try and find the remains of a man that has been missing for over four decades. So on Saturday night during a covert operation, Israeli commandos went boots on the ground near the town of Nabi with the cemetery, as I mentioned, as their target. Now, as they made their way through the town, they were detected by Hezbollah fighters and gunfire broke out. Now, to provide cover for these soldiers, Israeli jets flew overhead and carried out at least 40 air strikes on this town, which completely leveled certain buildings and created massive craters. Now, eventually, when Israeli soldiers made it to the cemetery, they dug up this grave, which they suspected may have held the remains of Ron Arad. He is an Israeli pilot who went missing in Lebanon all the way back in 1986. Now, according to reports, he disappeared after parachuting from his fighter jet, which crashed in Lebanon. I am assuming near this area. And it has since become one of the most famous unresolved cases in Israeli military history. And they've tried over the decades multiple times to try and find his body. But their latest attempt again failed because that grave was empty. The operation, however, has come under a lot of criticism because it had a high cost. Lebanon's health ministry said that at least 41 people were killed. That included three Lebanese soldiers and civilians, which included children. You know, even Ron Aar's own widow warned against, you know, risking lives to search for him, saying, "We want to know what happened to Ron, but not at any price. The sanctity of life is above any closing of the circle of certainty for us." And not only that, but this is also an operation that fell outside of what you would expect when a war is going on. Of course, as always, let me know what you guys think about this in the comments. But for now, moving on. Also, another pretty wild story that I read was about this man who is actually about to be executed for someone else's crime. And no, it's not what you're thinking. They haven't got the wrong guy. It's not one of those. That's just the law in Alabama. They have what's called felony murder, which essentially says if you partake in a felony crime, let's say a robbery, and that robbery results in a murder, even if you don't do the killing, you will face the same punishment. And that is where this 75-year-old man named Charles Burton comes in. You know, he has been on death row for over 30 years, despite the fact he's never killed anyone. but he will be killed on Thursday this week for a robbery that he carried out with five other men all the way back in 1991. Now, reports state that this is while he was attempting to loot a safe at a place called AutoZone Store in Tal Talladega. And that's when one of Charles's accompllices shot and killed a customer. Now, he has admitted during the trial that he entered that store armed, but claimed that he had already left the building when the murder took place. He said, "I didn't assist nobody. I didn't aid nobody. I didn't tell nobody to shoot nobody. But that's not even the craziest part because the man who actually shot the victim, Derek de Bruce, he is actually had his sentence reduced to life imprisonment. In fact, even many of the jurors who voted to end his life all of those years ago. They have since come forward, many of them at least, saying that they regret their decision. And six of them signed affidavit asking the courts to show mercy to Charles and change the decision. But I mean with Thursday rolling around, it looks like it's going to be carried out. But the question is for you guys, is this a fair law that deters involvement in criminal activity or is it one that is outdated and needs to be amended? Let me know your thoughts. But for now, moving on. And lastly guys, Nepal needs to be studied because after overthrowing their government and essentially giving rise to what became the Gen Z protest around the world, they are now about to elect a rapper as their new leader. Now, Balendar Sha who is commonly just called Balin in Nepal is a former rapper/engineer who unexpectedly became a political phenomenon. Despite being a structural engineer by training, around 2012, he actually became known in the Nepali hiphop community uh for his often politically critical rap. And you can see that was kind of his gateway into this. 10 years later in 2022, he ran for mayor of Catmandeue as an independent not backed by any major party and his win shocked the entire country. you know, he beat candidates from two of the biggest parties in the country, not just like, oh, he just skimmed it by a large margin. And now in 2026, he's about to do it again. But not just, you know, a mayor for one city, but as a leader of the entire country, the leader in fact. And he's going to be doing it in a manner that has never been seen before. His party reportedly secured over 120 seats in parliament. That is an unprecedented landslide. Now, it's pretty important to note that like most politicians, he is not universally loved. And in fact, you know, there's been quite a lot of controversy that he's been in a lot of local journalists, in fact, they've argued that he can skew authoritarian and nationalistic. And they've referenced things like he's displayed a greater Nepal map in his office before, which includes territories like India and China. They also say things that, you know, he is not equipped or experienced enough to run such a complex system. But for a country that's population is really young. I think their median age is about 25. That's that's really young. I think the median age for uh most other countries actually put the US and UK here, Alex. Yeah. You know the population in Nepal, the ones that overthrew the government, they didn't just want a new leader after they burned the parliaments. They wanted clearly a new kind of leader. And with Balin, they certainly got it. But ultimately the question is, have Napole made a good decision that's going to see their future go or a bad decision that they will ultimately regret? Let me know your thoughts in the comments. But for now, I think we need a wrap-up. So, as always, I will see you on Thursday. Let's stop the yapping and let's go. There's nothing breaking. There's nothing breaking.
