Looks like Belgium FM just survived an Israeli attack on Beirut yesterday. Let that sink in.
Maxime PREVOT@prevotmaxime

🇱🇧 (EN/FR/NL) I came to Beirut today to show our full support to the Lebanese authorities and to express our deep solidarity with the families affected by the violent conflict opposing Israel to Hezbollah. Just before I was commending President Aoun for offering to open official negotiations with Israel towards a ceasefire, Israel launched, with no previous warning, one of the most massive strikes since the beginning of the hostilities, allegedly causing hundreds of civilian victims. We were at the embassy with my delegation, just a few hundred metres from where the missiles struck. This must stop. The ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran must include Lebanon!  —— Je suis venu aujourd’hui à Beyrouth pour manifester notre soutien total aux autorités libanaises et exprimer notre profonde solidarité avec les familles touchées par le violent conflit qui oppose Israël au Hezbollah. Peu avant de féliciter le président Aoun d’avoir proposé d’entamer des négociations officielles avec Israël en vue d’un cessez-le-feu, Israël a lancé, sans aucun avertissement préalable, l’une des frappes les plus massives depuis le début des hostilités, qui aurait fait des centaines de victimes civiles. Nous étions à l'ambassade avec ma délégation, à quelques centaines de mètres seulement de l'endroit où les missiles ont frappé. Cela doit cesser. Le cessez-le-feu entre les États-Unis, Israël et l'Iran doit inclure le Liban ! —— Ik ben vandaag naar Beiroet gekomen om onze volledige steun te betuigen aan de Libanese autoriteiten en om onze diepe solidariteit te betuigen met de families die getroffen zijn door het gewelddadige conflict tussen Israël en Hezbollah. Net toen ik president Aoun prees voor zijn aanbod om officiële onderhandelingen met Israël te starten met het oog op een staakt-het-vuren, lanceerde Israël zonder enige voorafgaande waarschuwing een van de zwaarste aanvallen sinds het begin van de vijandelijkheden, waarbij naar verluidt honderden burgerslachtoffers zijn gevallen. We waren met mijn delegatie in de ambassade, op slechts een paar honderd meter van de plek waar de raketten insloegen. Dit moet stoppen. Het staakt-het-vuren tussen de VS, Israël en Iran moet ook Libanon omvatten! @BelgiumMFA @BelgiumLebanon

This surprising statement also came in the context of South Korea announcing the appointment of a new special envoy to Iran: (english.news.cn/20260410/beb98…) This comes one day after Spain decision to reopen its embassy in Tehran and suggests more countries will now engage in bilateral agreements with Iran based on a calculation of their material interests and views of the situation rather than the old tradition of mimicking an increasingly erratic and extreme Washington.

C’est marrant que le gouvernement français dise ça alors que la France contrôle le Canal du Mozambique, par où passe 30% du transport mondial de pétrole, grâce à ses possessions coloniales comme Mayotte (littéralement volée aux Comores au moment de l’indépendance). Ce contrôle impérialiste du Canal du Mozambique permet à la France d’avoir des droits sur les ressources de cette région qui se trouve à des milliers de kilomètres de la France. Cette présence vient accompagnée d’un déploiement militaire permanent, ce qui implique une menace impérialiste contre les populations locales. Pour rappel, la situation a Ormuz est le résultat de la débâcle militaire de l’offensive impérialiste des USA et Israël contre l’Iran. Et le gouvernement français en est complice (envoie du porte-avions, etc)!

🇨🇳🇦🇫🇵🇰 China brokers Afghanistan-Pakistan agreement to halt escalation in fighting Afghanistan and Pakistan agreed on Wednesday not to escalate their conflict and to pursue a comprehensive resolution to their disputes following seven days of peace talks mediated by China in the western city of Urumqi, Beijing’s Foreign Ministry announced. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said all parties acknowledged that “terrorism is the core issue” in the relationship and agreed to continue dialogue, though Islamabad offered no public comment on the outcome.
Xu Feihong@China_Amb_India

Representatives of #China, #Pakistan and #Afghanistan held week-long informal talks in Urumqi, Xinjiang🇨🇳 from April 1 to 7. The Afghan and Pakistani sides reiterated that they follow the purposes and spirit of the UN Charter and the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, stay committed to resolving differences as soon as possible, work for the turnaround of Afghanistan-Pakistan relations, and agree to refrain from actions that may escalate or complicate the situation. The three sides agreed to discuss a comprehensive plan to resolve issues in the relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and identified the core and priority issues.

China built 18 superlarge LNG storage tanks, more than twice the rest of the world combined. Each one holds 9.5 million cubic feet, bigger than Madison Square Garden. Keeping natural gas liquid at minus 162°C demands 9% nickel steel plates, concrete outer containment, and specialized cryogenic welding where every joint is ultrasonically inspected. The material expands 600-fold when it warms back to gas, so the tolerances are extreme. This is heavy industrial skill, not something you improvise. South Korea is now building seven tanks of the same size south of Seoul, with Japan following. nytimes.com/2026/04/08/bus…

ICYMI: 🇸🇦 Some detail on the *timing* of the strikes on energy facilities that Saudi Arabia disclosed late Thursday: Almost all took place AFTER the announcement of the US-Iran ceasefire. Only the attack on Khurais came before, back in mid-March, where repairs still ongoing 👇
Nader Itayim | ‌‌نادر ایتیّم tweet media
Nader Itayim | ‌‌نادر ایتیّم@ncitayim

🚨 Saudi Arabia confirms hits on "important energy facilities" in the Kingdom, including the critical East-West pipeline "leading to a loss of approx 700k b/d thru the pipeline." Also hits to the Manifa and Khurais production facilities resulted in a loss of 600k b/d. More 👇

From “the Iranian regime has only weeks or months left” (Merz) to “I spoke with FM” — good. But it would’ve been more credible if Germany also addressed Israel’s efforts to sabotage the ceasefire.
Johann Wadephul@AussenMinDE

Ich habe heute mit dem iranischen Außenminister Araghchi gesprochen. Ich habe #Iran aufgefordert, den Waffenstillstand einzuhalten und sich auf konstruktive Verhandlungen einzulassen sowie freie und sichere Schifffahrt durch die Straße von Hormus zu ermöglichen.

I’m cutting expected Hormuz exits to 10 vessels/day across all classes, hopefully starting next week. This isn’t a reopening, it’s an execution nightmare. Entries? Near zero, ex Iran’s dark fleet. No inbound flow means no network normalization. Backlog sits at 800–900 vessels. At 10/day, you’re looking at 80–90 days just to clear. That assumes no fresh disruptions and a ceasefire that actually holds. Big assumptions. Core point: until the trapped fleet is out and safe, nobody rational is taking entry risk. You can’t price schedule uncertainty like this. The opportunity cost alone kills it. Result: this crisis runs through July, and more likely bleeds into 2027, despite any one-off release of 150mbbl over 90 days. Tehran won’t give up the Hormuz card. It’s their economic deterrent, cheaper and arguably more effective than a bomb. Trump swapped a potential WMD with an actual economic WMD and likely makes Obama‘s silly JCPOA look like the art of the deal. Example from today‘s FT article: Jakob Larsen, chief safety and security officer at the shipowners’ association Bimco, said that the body was advising members to “await further guidance from the relevant authorities” and warned that crossing the strait would for now “involve heightened risk”. The payment scheme in particular left a “big question mark” about potential violations of western sanctions policy, one industry executive said. “If the Iranians are demanding a toll right now, if you pay that toll you are likely to be violating the US sanctions on Iran,” said Lars Jensen, chief executive of the advisory firm Vespucci Maritime. “Either [shipowners] choose to keep their vessels in the Gulf or pay Iran in violation of US sanctions to get their ships out.” One of countless problems.
Alexander Stahel 🌻@BurggrabenH

Technical limitations: - 12 ships per day (8.5% of normal); - US$1-2m fee charged. 800 vessels trapped. Requires 61 ships/day with 2-week window (today lost). But that’s all noise. My forecast for signal: not ONE ship will ENTER Persian trap (ex Iran dark fleet).

Deliberately killing an elderly diplomat and his wife precisely because he was working on a peace effort is one of the greatest crimes imaginable—a killing carried out to prevent a peaceful resolution.
Murtaza Hussain@MazMHussain

The Israeli/US murder of Kharazi at his house along with his wife was truly despicable act—killing a reformist diplomat who served an FM for Khatami and helped develop his “Concert of Civilizations” idea and was reportedly helping mediate the current situation.

People are obsessing over the wrong thing. It's not tankers going through Hormuz. That's mostly signaling. When tankers can go through Hormuz again in real numbers, that will allow regional producers to start unwinding shut-ins. Right now, it's approx. 10 million bpd. That's what is hitting global economy. Not the movement of ships.
