🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iran claims Israel may be planning a false flag attack on Saudi oil sites... Would Israel really be capable of doing this?

Yeahhhhh!!

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. might allow some Iranian oil, but only the ~140M barrels already sitting on ships at sea. Not a full rollback, just trying to get more oil into the market quickly as tensions push prices up. Basically, a short 10- to 14-day move to keep things steady. They did the same with Russian oil last week. Source: Iran International, U.S. News and World Report

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 U.S. and Israel: Same war, different goals War Sec. Hegseth pushed the “everybody’s on the same page” line in his press conference. The reality is 2 very different playbooks. U.S. objective: Full control of the Strait of Hormuz, securing the energy artery that powers Big Tech data centers, AI, and U.S.’s tech supremacy. Israel’s objective: Territorial expansion, unbreakable regional dominance, and stepping up as a true global power in the shifting world order. Why this matters? U.S. wants a fast energy win it can exit. Israel wants lasting supremacy that redraws the map. Geopolitical turning point: The longer the fighting drags on, the more the “special relationship” starts to crack. Source: Al Jazeera

🇺🇸 U.S. approved $15.2B in arms to UAE, Kuwait & Jordan. - UAE: $7.24B (F-16 upgrades + $4.5B THAAD). - Kuwait: $8B (LTAMDS radars). - Jordan: $70M (F-16/C-130 support). This is a rapid air-defense buildup to counter Iran’s drones/missiles, protecting oil hubs & tanker routes. Deterrence plays: make attacks costlier for Tehran, stabilize energy prices.

Journalist: "Why are we helping Israel prosecute this war if they're going to pursue their own objectives?" Sec. Hegseth 🇺🇸🇮🇱: "We hold the cards. We have objectives. Those objectives are clear. We have allies pursuing objectives as well."
