Daniel Lacalle: The US does not need to bow…

The US does not need to bow to Iran’s threats. Every day, the “Hormuz weapon” loses power as American oil production, exports, and alternative routes make the global energy system more resilient. Tehran can rattle the chokepoint, but it can no longer hold the world economy hostage. When a supplier or infrastructure owner stops understanding its position and starts using its initial advantage to damage and blackmail its customers, it is really signing its own death warrant. What looked like dominance becomes a countdown to irrelevance. Graphs via Bloomberg and BNE Intellinews.

Pouria Zeraati: Important/ Trump's post…

Important/ Trump's post: 'Just now had a very good call with Mohammed bin Salman from Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Zayed from the UAE, Emir Tamim bin Hamad from Qatar, Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman, Minister Ali Al-Thawadi, Field Marshal Asim Munir from Pakistan, Recep Tayyip Erdogan from Turkey, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi from Egypt, King Abdullah II from Jordan, and the King of Bahrain; about the Islamic Republic and all matters related to a peace agreement. A large part of the deal has practically been negotiated and arranged, just needs to be finalized between the United States, the Islamic Republic, and the other countries I mentioned. Apart from that, I also had a call with Bibi Netanyahu that went very well. Now the details and final parts of the agreement are being reviewed and will be announced soon. One of the important parts of this agreement is that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened.'

Exclusive with @EllenAMilligan The foreign office has sent redundancy letters to the Iran crisis team that is leading the UK’s response to the war Around half of the officials in the unit are expected to take up the offer, which comes as part of severe FCDO job cuts The crisis team works around the clock in a windowless bunker to support British nationals and work on policy and scenario planning Officials find out in the coming days if their jobs are being kept or not The redundancies in the Iran team are happening just as Trump mulls new strikes on Tehran and the crisis threatens to escalate

Pouria Zeraati: «New York Times» quoting U.S. officials…

«New York Times» quoting U.S. officials: On the first day of the war, the Israeli Air Force attacked Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's house. The goal was to somehow free him from 'house arrest' and, after eliminating Khamenei, position him to take control of the country. According to these officials, Israel, with U.S. knowledge, prepared a plan to bring Ahmadinejad to power after weakening the current regime, and this had been conveyed to him as well. But the attack didn't go as it should have. Ahmadinejad was accidentally wounded in that strike; an attack targeting a security post on the street where several IRGC members who had effectively taken him hostage were killed. Since the attack, no one has seen him publicly, and it's now unclear where he is or what his condition is. ••• ••• ••• In this regard/ Sources in Israel to me: Ahmadinejad is still under a form of house arrest, and even his communication with his family is controlled.

Felix Rex: Don't be so hard on them…

Don't be so hard on them. These people bet everything on Trump. They put their last remaining hopes for a brighter future in him. They have spent the last decade forming their identities around MAGA. They literally don't even know who they are or what they stand for outside of MAGA. The writing has been on the wall for years and blue collar America has been decimated... they cannot bear the truth, that the jobs are not coming back, the immigrants are here to stay, the drugs will keep killing off their family members, the bills will keep stacking higher than their paychecks can reach, their hometowns will only crumble faster, the America they loved is gone and will never return. They can't swallow all of that it is too horrible. The irony is that they are supposedly Christians expecting the tribulations and awaiting the return of the Messiah.

Admiral Brad Cooper says the investigation into the U.S. airstrikes on Minab school is "complex". I'd like to remind you: Triple tap U.S Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired on a busy school day. Many children were still alive after the first strike. As some tried to flee to another part of the school, they were targeted again - this time with teachers and parents too. What's 'complicated' about such intentional evil. Not once but THREE missiles.

Daniel Lacalle: Not only is the Iran war causing a decline…

"Not only is the Iran war causing a decline in global output, but the world’s central banks continue to embrace easy-money policies. This will result in more dollars (or sterling, euros, or yen, etc.) chasing fewer goods. This will further fuel rising prices. This is why we continue to see a general rise in prices. If rising prices were merely a result of falling output in Persian Gulf related goods, then we’d see rising prices in some areas result in falling prices in other areas. In other words, if the money supply were reasonably stable, consumers would respond to rising prices in some areas by cutting spending in other areas. But the CPI suggests that’s not happening. Thanks to continual infusions of new money through loose monetary policy, consumers are able to continue bidding up prices in all areas, even as price increases in the energy sector rise to multi-year highs". @ryanmcmaken @mises

David Icke: Billions of lives are being impacted…

Billions of lives are being impacted by the fact that America is (officially) run by a little boy malignant narcissistic psychopath with a dictator complex (hiding serious insecurity) while the useless, spineless, gutless, Israel-funded eunuchs on Capitol Hill allow him to do it. Meanwhile, the imbecilic 'leader' with his balls caught in a vice of his own making desperately seeks to find an excuse to say 'I won' - an excuse that Iran so far refuses to give him. A few steps back in the shadows the Global Cult guffaws at exactly the outcome that it wanted to achieve as its old system is dismantled by Trump war and chaos to make way for its new far more extreme system of human control based on deprivation and digital/AI. All long planned.

Dale Vince: Trump opens his mouth…

Trump opens his mouth and out comes Guff. Immigration is down 80% here since it’s Tory peak and for every one windmill we have the USA has 7..! Our North Sea is all but empty, less than 10% left - that isn’t gonna change anything. But facts don't matter to Trump, even what he says one day doesn’t matter to him the next day. Iran was beaten two months ago, but the war drags on, their Uranium stockpile was vital the other day - now it’s just a PR thing. We should pay zero attention to what this fool says. Ooops, I just gave more (of a shit) than I should have..:)
