🇺🇸 Week 5 of the Iran war and gas is now $3.90 a gallon. America is the world’s #1 oil producer, pumping more than Saudi Arabia or Russia, yet a tank still costs $70 to fill. Why? Because oil is one big global market. Block the Strait of Hormuz and prices spike everywhere, even in the U.S. The U.S. had the oil, the pipelines, and the permits to cushion this… until regulators spent years blocking and canceling them. Now they're draining the emergency reserve while oil companies post record profits. Source: @TWT_Unleased



TRUMP DEPLOYS MORE BOOTS DESPITE “TALKS" - Jonathan Fink On Iran War x.com/i/broadcasts/1…



🚨🇮🇷🇺🇳Iran turned the Strait of Hormuz into a geopolitical sorting machine... 20,000 seafarers stranded. 18 commercial ships targeted. Seven crew members dead. And Iran just sent the UN a letter saying the Strait is technically "open," just not for countries that support the war. China gets through. India gets through. Spain gets through. Nine vessels crossed safely since Tuesday. Meanwhile, American allies watch their economies suffocate. Iran's FM said it plainly: "Iran's power is the Hormuz Strait." The Pentagon destroyed Iran's navy, air force, and missile factories. Iran responded by turning a 21-mile waterway into the most powerful foreign policy tool on earth. Source: ABC News


UPDATE: It's starting to seem that IRGC factions within Iran are keen to keep the war going and seek revenge Yesterday we had reports that the unrealistic demand of removing U.S. bases from the region was no longer on the table, but today it seems it's back Why? 1. Iran is selling more oil than before the war, and at a higher price. So they are making more money now versus before 2. They feel they have the upper hand, and rightly so: They control the Strait of Hormuz, Gulf nations are suffering economically, and Israel is getting bombed daily. The global economy is also getting hit hard 3. We've killed their Supreme Leader with his family, and bombed the hell out of their country, in a war started in the middle of negotiations. How would you expect them to feel? Is a deal still possible? Yes. If pragmatism beats ideology and vengeance.




The craziest thing about Newsom's $100 million wildlife bridge is that it will allow cougars, an apex predator, direct access into a suburban neighborhood filled with pets, children, and the elderly. It's like the radical environmentalist version of The Purge.
