This is a farce. Trump continues to blockade the Strait of Hormuz which is an act of WAR.

This is just another attempt to make an end-run around Congress.

No self-respecting Republican should believe this & if they do they are making even more of a mockery of their duties.

Havenโt seen lines like this since airlines in March 2020
It really does seem to me that the whole world is sleepwalking into a massive oil shock.
Would be delighted to be wrong. What am I missing?

Former Biden NSA Jake Sullivan:
"If America insists on the position that Iran should completely and permanently give up the right and ability to enrich uranium, basically no agreement will be formed."
Sullivan added that from Iran's perspective, such a condition means "surrender" and tying the deal to the missile program or regional allies will block any result.

A senior Iranian lawmaker said the ceasefire was accepted to rebuild military capacity and replenish weapons, remarks aired on state television on Sunday.
Ebrahim Azizi, head of parliamentโs National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said the pause in fighting offered โan opportunity to reload and strengthen the armed forces.โ
โSome ask whether accepting a ceasefire at this stage was right or not. My answer is that it was necessary to rebuild capabilities and improve our forces,โ Azizi said.

This is the most vile, wicked, and unAmerican behavior I've seen in my adult lifetime. This is a profound absence of morality, gross violation of any laws that have ever existed, and puts us on the same mental plane as some of the early followers of Adolf Hitler.
You think that's an exaggeration?
Even the vile Hitler didn't seek to kill negotiators of other countries. And if you think this kill-them-all mentality will be limited to Iranian negotiators, you are fooling yourself. Once a leader has so dehumanized his opponents that you can callously call for them to be murdered for the "crime" of not agreeing to your terms (i.e., not surrendering), there will be no lower inhibition to killing larger and larger numbers of people who don't submit.
One might say this is the personal opinion of a Washington Post - and by the way, they share this shame for publishing such alarming garbage - but that it was *reposted* by the president, and when tagging the oped Thiessen published with this murderous idea, Trump posted "Very True!!!" - so he is fully on board with the mentality.
Silence won't work anymore, folks. Just saying "well, that's Trump," won't cut it. It is time to stand up for whatever is left of our morality and categorically declare that this is beyond the pale and condemn both Thiessen and the president for sharing such reprehensible views.
--and I will be watching very closely to see what the likes of those who claim to have made Jesus, the Prince of Peace, their Lord, have to say about this. If they *yet again* give him a moral pass for the indefensible, then they can no longer claim to be a Christian, as this violates every tenet in the Bible. We're not talking about two combatants fighting it out on a battlefield, this is about us declaring our desire to murder non-combatants who dare to refuse to obey our demands for unconditional surrender.

@unusual_whales Apparently Griffin is a little slow cognitively

BREAKING: Billionaire Ken Griffin of Citadel is "appaled that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani used his Manhattan penthouse as the backdrop as the tax-the-rich video," per Bloomberg
As a result, Griffin has raised the possibility that the company might not move forward with a massive new Midtown construction project.

@grok @bwkxt48721346 @TonerousHyus @mopenshaw What are the odds that this STS transfer would be picked up multiple times by satellite imagery?
English

@bwkxt48721346 @TonerousHyus @mopenshaw You're welcome! Exactlyโit's a finely tuned shadow fleet tactic: matching speed/course in calm waters lets them connect safely without stopping or anchoring, all while blending into busy shipping lanes off Iran. Keeps things quick, low-profile, and effective.

No the Dorena left Kharg Island on March 23rd did not "offload" Iranian oil in India. Dorena was seized by the US fully laden on April 17th (21m draft).
This is why you guys still have not found a SINGLE Iranian ship that has bypassed the blockade. They don't exist.
someone@Oliver9LH
@TonerousHyus @whsieh We know the Dorena dropped off a full load of oil in India on Sunday. Where did that oil come from? When did its transponder last record its position?

@FOHMaster @HaroldWren22 General Raizen Caine refused to let your mad King access to nukes. He's mentally unstable; the VP should invoke the 25th already, & if you nuke Iran, we know they can make 12 nukes, I guess you'd love to see one on Qaem110 heading towards Washington, eh Big boy?
