About this listen

The Iran conflict rages into its third week—no end in sight. Sal Assante delivers raw updates: US-Israel strikes hammer Iranian missile sites, nuclear facilities like Natanz, internal security, and Tehran itself, with reports of massive civilian displacement (3.2M+ fleeing), school casualties, and regime resilience under new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei vowing to choke the Strait of Hormuz. Domestically: Skyrocketing fuel prices/inflation crush Americans, government ramps up censorship on war coverage and independent reporting, Epstein files stay buried amid propaganda. Crypto twist—Bitcoin surges ~7% to ~$71K+ as a hedge amid turmoil, defying expectations as gold stalls and stocks dip. "The machine" drives endless war regardless of promises—civilian costs mount, free speech threatened. Mobilize, dissent, stay vocal. 🔗 Useful Links:Follow on Substack: https://wethepatriots.substack.com/Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0Z_Rt_SiPa_HGuyyNW5fLwFollow Sal on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salassante?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X.com: @Sal_assante4Timestamps:00:00 Intro
