@SkyNewsAust But…but….Trump claims repeatedly that he holds all the cards - except for a minor detail - he doesn’t. Like it or not, at this point in time, Iran is playing Trump like an Ozark harp.
After two months of conflict, neither a deadly bombing campaign nor a blockade on Iranian exports have forced Tehran to make the concessions the Trump admin is seeking - and there are a few key reasons why. skynews.com.au/world-news/glo…

THIS IS GIGA BULLISH FOR MARKETS!!
@TruthTrumpPost Trump's B/S - triggered by the Chancellor's comment that US-Israeli actions against Iran were ill-advised.
German governments have consistently maintained that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons, and that Iran's nuclear program must be fully monitored and restricted.
President Trump on Truth Social: The Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon.
He doesn’t know what he’s talking about! If Iran had a Nuclear Weapon, the whole World would be held hostage. I am doing something with Iran, right now, that other Nations, or Presidents, should have done long ago.
No wonder Germany is doing so poorly, both Economically, and otherwise! President DONALD J. TRUMP
🚨 THIS COULD BE A MASSIVE WIN FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP
The UAE just pulled out of OPEC and OPEC+ effective May 1, 2026.
Most people don’t understand how big this is… but they’re about to feel it at the pump.
Here’s what actually just happened 👇
💥 THE CARTEL JUST TOOK A HIT
OPEC+ works by restricting supply to keep prices artificially high.
The UAE just said: we’re done playing that game.
➡️ They can now pump MORE oil
➡️ No quotas
➡️ No waiting on Saudi decisions
That cracks the cartel model wide open.
⛽ CHEAPER ENERGY IS COMING
Oil already dropped immediately after the announcement.
Why? Because the market knows what’s next:
➡️ More global supply
➡️ Less artificial scarcity
➡️ Downward pressure on prices
If the UAE ramps fast:
➡️ Oil could drop $5–$15/barrel
➡️ Gas could fall 20–50¢ per gallon
That’s real money back in people’s pockets.
📉 INFLATION RELIEF (THE PART THEY WON’T SAY LOUDLY)
Energy touches EVERYTHING.
➡️ Transport
➡️ Food
➡️ Manufacturing
➡️ Utilities
Lower energy = lower costs across the board.
That’s effectively a tax cut without Congress touching anything.
🏭 BUSINESS GETS A BOOST
Cheaper fuel = stronger margins.
➡️ Trucking
➡️ Airlines
➡️ Agriculture
➡️ Manufacturing
America becomes more competitive again while Europe and Asia are still dealing with high-cost energy environments.
🌍 GEOPOLITICAL SHIFT
This isn’t just about oil.
➡️ UAE breaks from Saudi-led control
➡️ OPEC+ unity weakens
➡️ U.S. gains leverage in the region
And here’s the key:
The UAE is already a U.S. security partner.
This move pulls them closer to a market-driven system aligned with American interests.
🛢️ ENERGY DOMINANCE, NOT DEPENDENCE
The U.S. is already producing ~13+ million barrels/day.
Not the same country 20 years ago.
➡️ They produce
➡️ They export
➡️ They influence
Cheaper global oil doesn’t weaken America - it strengthens the broader economy.
⚠️ THE TRADE-OFF
Not everything is sunshine:
➡️ U.S. shale producers may feel pressure
➡️ Energy stocks could dip short term
➡️ Smaller operators may get squeezed
But zoom out:
Cheap energy beats cartel-controlled scarcity.
Every time.
🏆 WHY THIS IS A WIN For PRESIDENT TRUMP
For YEARS, President Trump has said OPEC is a cartel ripping off America.
Now look what just happened:
➡️ A major producer walks away
➡️ Supply increases without U.S. intervention
➡️ Prices start dropping
That’s exactly what he’s been pushing for.
No theory. Real-world outcome.
🎯 PERFECT TIMING
With oil near $100 and global tensions high, this couldn’t come at a better moment.
➡️ Consumers get relief
➡️ Inflation pressure eases
➡️ The administration gets a visible win
And it reinforces one thing:
Strong alliances + pressure on adversaries = results.
⚖️ REALITY CHECK
Was this ONLY because of Trump? No.
➡️ UAE had long-standing issues with quotas
➡️ They’ve been expanding capacity for years
➡️ The Iran conflict accelerated the timeline
But outcomes matter more than narratives.
And this outcome?
📊 Weaker cartel
📊 Stronger ally alignment
📊 Lower energy prices
That’s a strategic win.
🔥 BOTTOM LINE
This isn’t just an oil story.
It’s economic relief.
It’s geopolitical leverage.
It’s a crack in a system that controlled prices for decades.
And if this triggers more cracks?
That’s when it gets REALLY interesting.
Before each corrupt official is brought to trial the military will confiscate their assets land and money If the judge demands $100 million for their release they will go to prison even if they claim to possess a large sum of money since everything was confiscated that very night
🚨‼️ BREAKING 💥
Iran has threatened to cut the undersea cables in the Persian Gulf that provide global internet connectivity.
If Iran does this, it will plunge the entire world into Middle Ages darkness—and humanity will relive the Stone Age.
@FinancialCrux Saudi Arabia hasn't quit OPEC - the UAE will be quitting OPEC effective May 1, 2026.
The claim re : the USD versus Yuan in this context is hogwash.
🚨 BREAKING:
🇦🇪🇨🇳 SAUDI ARABIA AND THE UAE WANT TO SELL OIL WITH CHINESE YUAN INSTEAD OF THE U.S. DOLLAR
INSIDERS SAY THEY LEFT OPEC (THE ORGANIZATION OF THE PETROLEUM EXPORTING COUNTRIES) TO DO THIS
THIS MEANS THE U.S. WILL LOSE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN OIL TRANSACTIONS
SOMETHING EXTREMELY BAD IS HAPPENING...
@dailytelegraph Tax free windfall - from a PNG perspective - not the case if he is considered to be an Australian resident for tax purposes, in which case he would be subject to applicable income tax in Australia.
Former Wests Tigers boss Shane Richardson has defended the escape clause that allowed Jarome Luai to quit for PNG, saying the playmaker is chasing a $2 million tax-free windfall.
