The definition of a superpower is changing. It’s no longer just about who can run the system, but who can disrupt it. Control of chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz gives states leverage to shape global decisions without dominating the entire order.

Yeah, talk about the Holocaust, then abruptly shift the focus to the B2 attack and blame Iran.

@ExplosiveMediaa Let’s freaking gooooooooooo.

"Stone Age" ❌‼️❌‼️❌ It will be released soon.

Seems legit.

VP: Iranians had to go back to Tehran to ask for permission on the deal.

@WilliamT4479 @DanMKervick Sure thing, coming from a guy whose country actually used the nuclear bomb. Not once but twice but yea we take your word for it.

@DanMKervick No one wants Iran to have a nuclear bomb. No. One. Wants. Iran. To. Have. A. Nuclear. Bomb. NO. ONE. WANTS. ITAN. TO. HAVE. A. NUCLEAR. BOMB. How many times do we have to keep telling you idiots this simple fact. If they get a nuclear bomb they will use it.

Iran is allowed to enrich uranium under international law. Iran is allowed to have a peaceful nuclear energy program under international law. The United States is a dangerous outlaw nation running an outlaw regime. Other nations have a duty to enforce international law.

@DanMKervick Unfortunately international law is thing of past with the way the president of USA is following the prime minister of Israel into the biggest blunder of the modern history.

Trump is “blockading” a Strait that was already “blocked,” except it wasn’t actually blocked to begin with—foreign policy by Schrödinger.

@themaxburns It is so sad and true that i had to come and say bravo.

A perfect image of the Trump era: A grandmother has to work at DoorDash in order to get by, while the president decorates his office in gold accent pieces.

@georgegalloway I mean, He doesnt even believes it.

I’m wondering if he thinks that ANYONE believes that?

It is the calm before the storm. Oil, Markets, Fucktopia.

I didn't know Trump was a doctor

@MarioNawfal Criticising others on human rights… while sitting on the Security Council after decades of wars is like hosting a fire safety seminar with a flamethrower

@piersmorgan ‘Didn’t have this on my bingo card’ Yeah… because your bingo card is based on stereotypes

I didn’t have this on my Bingo card for 2026, and I had a lot of crazy sh*t on my Bingo card for 2026…

@MarioNawfal Maybe the two for one deal that Bibi sold Trump on had the chinese part for free but this has always been about Bibi's dream to attack Iran.

This war has always been and continues to be about China

Blaming everything on Iran is convenient… but the path to this crisis has been built step by step by Israeli escalation.

@hasanahmadian You don’t need to break a blockade… just make it too expensive to enforce.

🔹 التهديد بفرض حصار على إيران يفترض أن: 1. إيران لا تستطيع كسر الحصار بالقوة بعد فرضه عليها. 2. سيستغرق الأمر من الولايات المتحدة وقتًا قصيرًا لكسر إيران والتحكم في أسعار الطاقة. 🔹 غير أن هذه افتراضات إشكالية بعد 39 يومًا من الحرب، حيث: 1. أبقت حاملات الطائرات الأمريكية على مسافة بعيدة، خوفًا من القدرات العسكرية الإيرانية. 2. يكفي أن تصمد إيران فقط-حتى من دون حرب-لترتفع أسواق الطاقة بشكل كبير. الأرجح أن هذا التهديد يرمي لدعم الموقف التفاوضي الأمريكي. غير أنه لا يمكن لإيران إلا أن تكون مستعدة لأسوأ السيناريوهات.

Most US refineries are built for heavy crude. Domestic output is mostly light. So they export light oil… and still need Middle East barrels to run the system.

The real question isn’t if it closes… it’s how violently it does.

Benchmarks say $98 Refiners are paying $120+ Paper is still negotiating… physical already made the decision

The system was built for efficiency… not for shocks. That’s where the leverage comes from.

The definition of a superpower is changing. It’s no longer just about who can run the system, but who can disrupt it. Control of chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz gives states leverage to shape global decisions without dominating the entire order.
