ALEX JONES (INFOWARS HOST): And so I know Trump's been briefed on all these angles. I know Bannon warned him on Thursday. And Trump said, OK, two weeks. To give them a chance to come to the table. And I said I hope this isn't a ruse so that they don't know they're about to get struck, and looks like it was.
Trump doesn't normally act like that. That's, you know, by way of deception, you will, you will conquer, as Israelis say. And world leaders like to work with Trump because he almost always does what he says he's gonna do. He says what he means to do. So that's a little disconcerting there as well.
...
They could close the Strait of Hormuz as early as today. They just sink a bunch of their barges and ships out there and it's closed for months and months.
...
Twenty percent of the world's oil goes through there every day, up to 30% sometimes, but on average about 20. That, if it gets closed, will bring oil conservatively to $130 a barrel, maybe 200. That will, 130 will more than double inflation. That will then trigger interest rates to increase and, if you look at the numbers, will kill Trump's recovery plan that's a very good plan. It's working. So it just goes from bad to worse.
...
And then the whole world is basically turning against Israel and the United States right now. So I believe this was a mistake. I know the majority of Trump's advisers told him that, both military and intelligence, but he decided to go against that. And so I just hope that the Ayatollah takes this as a chance, face-saving on all sides, and just deescalates, but I don't think Israel will even allow that to happen. I don't think the mullah will. I think we're going into full war with Iran and all the problems that come with that.
So, everybody that loves war and thinks it's so cool, this isn't like Iraq or other places. This is gonna trigger economic depression for sure if we don't reverse it. So I think this is a big, big mistake, and I'm very, very sad, very, very upset.
