Maybe @pmbug (or someone else) can help. He's pretty good with X and youtube.

Do you mean X posts with videos don't play when embedded in pmbug forum posts, or they don't play when you are viewing a tweet directly on X?
I just tested and the Rubio vid you quoted worked fine on my end. The video didn't play directly from the forum embed - it opens the post in X in a new tab (which then plays the video). If your browser settings prevent pop-ups or new tabs, that might be the issue.

Your hate for the USA is only exceeded by your hate of Israel.

When I go to X none of the videos play for me anymore. That started about 2 weeks ago.
I get this on every video.

Or maybe I just detest useless wars where we send our kids off to die for no reason other than to enrich those that are already rich.
That's likely an issue with the data transmission between you and X's servers. Could be cloudfare. Could be your ISP. Could be something more esoteric.

U.S. and Iran Edge Toward War Deal as Hormuz Talks Advance
Iran said on Wednesday it was reviewing a new U.S. proposal, after sources said Washington and Tehran were closing in on a one-page memorandum to end the war in the Gulf while leaving tricky issues such as Iran's nuclear program for later.

Per CENTCOM, the M/T Hasna IGNORED warnings en route to an Iranian port, and was disabled via a 20mm cannon on a US Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet launched from the USS Abraham Lincoln, targeted at the tanker's rudder.
President Trump just re-affirmed our blockade is like a "WALL OF STEEL"
Looks like he's correct.

The One-Man Hotline for Sailors Trapped by the Iran War | WSJ
May 6, 2026Each morning, union representative Mohamed Arrachedi wakes up to dozens of WhatsApp messages and missed calls: a sailor on a cargo ship in the Persian Gulf hasn’t been paid for months; on another vessel, people are running out of food. As the regional coordinator for the International Transport Workers’ Federation, Arrachedi is one of the few people to whom sailors stranded since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz can turn for help.
So far, Arrachedi and his team have received more than 2,000 requests for assistance. Conditions in the strait, he said, are getting worse. “There is absolutely no precedent to what is happening now,” said Arrachedi.
WSJ explores how one man responds to the daily calls for help from sailors facing bombs and dwindling supplies due to the Iran War.

Despite assurances from the U.S. military that transits through Omani waters of the Strait of Hormuz could be protected from Iranian attacks, the boxship CMA CGM San Antonio was struck by a cruise missile on Tuesday as it passed eastbound through the waterway. The IMO confirmed in a statement that eight crewmembers were injured in the strike, and CMA CGM told media that the wounded were evacuated for medical treatment. It appears to be the largest number of seafarer injuries reported in a single incident since the start of the conflict earlier this year.
After the attack, a U.S. military official implied that the responsibility for the CMA CGM San Antonio's security breach was on the operator, claiming the boxship did not follow Project Freedom's guidelines and check-in procedures, according to the New York Times. The official noted that post-attack, the San Antonio's crew had called for help from nearby Oman, not from U.S. forces, implying that they were not reliant on U.S. assistance.
The disavowal appears to clash with CMA CGM's version: the world's third-largest ocean carrier told the Times that it was fully coordinating with U.S. forces throughout. Regardless of which version may be accurate, any perception that the U.S. military would blame the vessel operator for a security breach is unlikely to reassure shipping companies, which were already skeptical about the ability of U.S. forces to consistently intercept multi-domain Iranian attacks across a broad region.
A second CMA CGM vessel, the CMA CGM Saigon, made it through and clear during the brief period of Project Freedom's operations. Two U.S.-flagged ships, identified as the ro/ro Alliance Fairfax and the product tanker CS Anthem, also made it through.
"While a few ships made it out safely while 'Project Freedom' was in ?place, it was clear that transits without coordination with Iran entailed significant risk," said ?BIMCO chief security officer Jakob Larsen in a conversation with Reuters, referring to the IRGC "Tehran Tollbooth" transit approval system.
