GB News came to a halt for a breaking alert on the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Bev Turner interrupted the programme to announce that Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has vowed to take revenge. Since the US and Israel began launching joint attacks on Iran at the end of February, the country’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other Iranian officials have been killed.
In his first public statement, Khamenei highlighted losing his father, wife, while also announcing that his daughter has lost her child “as well as the husband who has been martyred”. He declared: “I assure everyone that we will not ignoring the fact that we are going to revenge our martyrs.”
He said: “It’s massively problematic for someone who stood on an ‘America first’ platform. When American citizens are struggling to find insurance premiums for their healthcare, but there’s a billion dollars a day to go on a war of choice which we can’t call a war if you’re in the administration because then you have to admit it’s a war.”
Torbitt highlighted that this amount of money could pay for around 20 million American citizens to have healthcare.
“There’s no objectives that have been made publicly by President Trump,” he said. “Are we really surprised that the new Ayatollah is seeking revenge? What’s America achieved other than killing a pensioner?”
Due to the number of deaths in his family, Torbitt claimed there was no question that Khamenei would seek revenge.
“That was if you were to believe that’s what they were doing,” Torbitt responded. “I think Marco Rubio got closest to the truth by saying that America attacked first because Israel was going to and Iran would therefore go after America.”
Torbitt went on to argue that last year, the White House said that the nuclear capabilities of Iran were “obliterated” and anything else was “fake news”, adding that Trump sacked analysts who opposed this.
“How can you trust anything from an administration that is so loose with the truth?” he asked before the GB News host moved away from the discussion.
