🚨🇫🇷🇮🇷 IRAN'S PLAYING DIVIDE-AND-CONQUER WITH HORMUZ AND IT'S WORKING Iran's got a system: block U.S. ships, let European ones through... but only if those countries stand up to Trump. France crossed today no problem, Spain blocked airspace recently and got rewarded. It's brilliant... and infuriating. They're splitting NATO by making it profitable to oppose Washington. Every European ship that gets through proves you don't need America to keep trade flowing, you just need to not be America. Trump's entire pitch was "they need us for security." Iran just showed Europe they need Trump less than Trump needs them. He's gonna lose his mind and escalate hard, which is exactly what makes this strategy work. The madder he gets, the more Europe distances itself, the less likely he is to end this with a win. Brilliant. And infuriating. Source: CNN World












🇨🇳 The Middle East war has China stuck in a weird spot. And Beijing knows it. Iran needs China. But China? Not so much. It trades 10x more with Saudi and the UAE. So Beijing’s walking a tightrope: condemning Khamenei’s killing, criticizing Iran’s Gulf attacks, calling for a ceasefire, yet ignoring Trump’s calls to reopen Hormuz. China’s play is smart: let America burn diplomatic fuel while it plays the calm, reasonable adult in the room. But there’s risk. Rising oil prices, crashing Gulf economies, and Europe, China’s top export market, getting hit hard. For now, it’s watching, very carefully, from a very safe distance.
