🇮🇱 🇮🇷Israel struck Iranian naval bases on the Caspian Sea for the first time. Missile ships, patrol boats, command centers destroyed. Iran's back door borders Russia. Whatever Moscow was shipping through that corridor just lost its delivery address.

Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud slams Iran: I do not understand how they claim to defend Islamic causes while attacking Islamic countries. They are not attacking just one nation—Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Oman, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Türkiye—all are Islamic countries, and all have been targeted. Even before this war, what was Iran’s contribution to the Islamic world? They supported the Houthi militia in Yemen. They supported militias in Iraq—and now they are attacking Iraqi territory. They have interfered in Lebanon through Hezbollah, not only hijacking political decision-making but also carrying out destabilizing actions across the region, including in Saudi Arabia. One of the clearest examples is Iran and Hezbollah’s role in Syria. So where is this so-called support for the Muslim world when such actions are taking place? How can they claim to support Islamic causes while backing regimes that oppress their own people, assassinating political figures in Lebanon, and empowering militias that hinder development in Iraq? I do not see any real support for Islamic causes. These are merely slogans used as cover. In reality, these tools are used to serve Iranian interests—not the principles they claim to defend.

🇯🇵 Takaichi flew 6,000 miles to be humiliated. Pearl Harbor brought up. Lunch canceled. No joint statement. She went to Washington to explain Japan's limits. Trump spent the meeting mocking them. 82% of Japanese oppose this war. She ignored them. 11,000 protested in Tokyo. She flew anyway. Now she's signing $40 billion nuclear deals. Tying Japan closer to an empire that just insulted its history. Takaichi bowed. Trump laughed. Japan paid. Call it diplomacy. The rest of us call it submission.

🇮🇷 Iran just opened its own shipping registry for Hormuz. India, Pakistan, Iraq, Malaysia and China are all negotiating vessel transit plans directly with Tehran. The IRGC has established a registration system for approved ships — advance disclosure of ownership, cargo destination, communicated through Iran-affiliated intermediaries outside the country.  At least one tanker paid a fee — reportedly around $2 million for passage. At least nine ships have already transited via a safe corridor routed through Iranian territorial waters past Larak Island hugging Iran's coast, where the IRGC Navy and port authority physically verify each vessel.  “Iran now channels verified shipping through a path well inside Iranian territorial waters north of Larak island and away from the international corridors,” according to a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.  The United States went to war on Israeli orders. Iran responded by closing Hormuz to America and its "allies" and opening it to everyone else, on its own terms, at its own price, through its own waters. This as reports that British military advisors are meeting with their American counterparts in Miami to strategize reopening the strait of Hormuz which must be fake news since the US claimed it be be opened more than 10 days ago. Washington wanted to make Iran irrelevant. Iran just became the gatekeeper of more than 20% of the world’s oil supply. The toll booth is operational.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ How's it going Epstein coalition?
