Can confirm that there is planning -- not yet approved -- to potentially send a few thousand soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division to Iran, per two officials. This comes after @WashingtonPost first reported earlier this month that the HQ of the 82nd Airborne had abruptly canceled a training exercise, fueling internal speculation it could be involved in any ground operation President Trump approves.

The war in Iran, now in its third week, is causing oil prices to soar, saddling airlines with some of the highest fuel costs in years. Though it might seem counterintuitive, to save money, don’t book basic economy. Here's what experts recommend: wapo.st/4bEj5Sp

CHART OF THE DAY: The White House is fighting to keep the price of WTI crude oil under $100 a barrel. But for America's Main Street what truly matters isn't the price of crude, but the cost of refined products — and those are rising fast. Link to my @Opinion column on reply.

Can confirm the deployment of the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and embarked 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit from California has been sped up to occur within days, per two officials. The task force, with about 4,500 sailors and Marines, is expected to head across the Pacific, eventually replacing the 31st MEU in the Middle East. The 31st MEU was dispatched a week or so ago and is closing in on the region now. Seems possible the two ARG/MEUs overlap for a time, depending on what form operations take. But unclear at this time. Each MEU includes an infantry battalion landing team of about 800 Marines with aviation and logistics support.

#BREAKING #EXCLUSIVE The US military has accelerated the deployment of thousands of Marines and sailors to help reinforce US troops in the Middle East amid the war against Iran. Four officials tell Newsmax the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and the embarked 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit is deploying ahead of schedule from the West Coast and is expected to sail through the Indo-Pacific to the Middle East region after the Navy was ordered to surge additional fire power. The Boxer Amphibious Ready Group includes the USS Boxer amphibious assault ship—which serves as a mini aircraft carrier—and USS Portland and USS Comstock amphibious landing ships. There are roughly 2,500 Marines--4,000 total service members aboard these three amphibs. Additional Ships, Marines Deployed to Middle East | Newsmax.com

"Several governments — including India, Pakistan, Iraq, Malaysia and China — are in direct talks with Tehran, coordinating vessel transits via an emerging IRGC-run registration and vetting system At least nine ships have already used the corridor" lloydslist.com/LL1156656/Iran…
Lloyd's List@LloydsList

Iran has created a de facto ‘safe’ shipping corridor through its territorial waters in the Strait of Hormuz, offering vetted vessels passage in exchange for approval — and in at least one case, a reported $2m payment lloydslist.com/LL1156656/Iran…

The national average price of gasoline now stands at $3.92/gal, according to GasBuddy, while diesel has risen to $5.14/gal. We're headed toward ~$4.00 for gasoline and ~$5.25 for diesel based on where we are now.

Oil for delivery in 12 months is now way above its spike on March 9. Even if the futures curve were a market forecast of prices -- which as @Rory_Johnston will remind us, it is absolutely not -- that forward price is going way up
