🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇮🇱 2 Major Iran-War Escalations that are MISSING from mainstream media rn: 1️⃣ US deployed **TROOPS ON THE GROUND** 1st time this war! Reports indicate “Hundreds” of U.S. Special Forces operators engaged directly on the ground, killing Iranian forces as part of the successful F15 pilot rescue. At least 1 U.S. plane was destroyed in the mission & the IRGC claim their fire destroyed the aircraft. Whilst the successful rescue is all over media, no-one is highlighting the most critical element of military escalation. This is an enormous escalation as ‘Troops On The Ground’ was assured by many pro-war hawks as an impossible outcome in Iran. Trump will now feel emboldened to launch more special force missions on the ground in Iran. MORE TROOPS ON THE GROUND WILL NATURALLY FOLLOW THIS SUCCESS. 2️⃣ Iranian strikes damaged a Kuwaiti water desalination plant. Gulf countries rely on desalination for ~30-90% of their water supply. This marks the 1st time Iran has directly targeted civilian desalination plants, & this could cause a major humanitarian disaster as more desal plant targeting could cause mass migration/unrest in Gulf countries. Kuwait’s Ministry of Water, Electricity, & Renewable Energy confirmed on X the strikes caused material damage but no deaths. Prior to this attack Iran had specifically refrained from targeting Gulf desalination plants. This attack could signal a major turning point in the level of restraint shown by Iran when attacking Gulf states. 🥫sources: - x.com/lookner/status… - rferl.org/amp/crew-membe… - abc.net.au/news/2026-04-0… - foxnews.com/live-news/seco… - wionews.com/world/kuwait-u…

@johnarnold Is it legally possible for the CFTC to prosecute the US Treasury Department for insider trading?

It would take the CFTC about 5 minutes to figure out who this was and whether there was any misconduct, assuming they want to.

@KnoxieLuv @kenklippenstein 👀

@kenklippenstein He just admitted they are tracing people online to their homes for saying they don't support what Israel is doing.

NETANYAHU: "We have seen the deterioration of support for Israel in the U.S...correlates almost 100% with the geometric rise of social media." "While we were fighting the physical military battle on seven battlefields, 7-front war, we were completely exposed on the 8th front, the media war - really, the social media war."

@adamemedia1 Always bet on self financial interest: Fuentes has carved out a profitable niche as the anti-Israel guy, but Bilzerian has a much broader appeal to both men & women. Fuentes hates women & that is unappealing to most. Bilzerian represents a huge threat to Fuentes’ Business.

Dan Bilzerian is trying to unseat Randy Fine. Why would Nick Fuentes be against that?

@BaronCorvo1911 @KC_Invests 🎯. But if you front run the news with insider trades then you don’t actually need to ever print the money.

@KC_Invests There’s definitely more to this, as in someone who can create infinite money out of thin air (the US Treasury) is selling an unlimited supply of paper contracts

In my years investing in oil, I’ve seen media intervention, government intervention, and most things that can influence prices. I’ve never seen a report come out on a Monday that causes a 12% drop, nothing changes by Friday, and prices still don’t recover There’s more to this

@KC_Invests @Senteuk1 U.S. is not “too scared”, it simply isn’t possible from a military perspective. Has to be achieved through negotiations.

@Senteuk1 That’s been my dream every Friday for the past 6 weekends. Iran is simply dragging this out by keeping the strait closed, and the US is too scared to go in and force them to open it. Simple as that. They know global economic slowdown is inevitable with SoH closed

@EricBalchunas @unusual_whales 🎯

@unusual_whales he's said this every 3mo for the past 10yrs. you can set your watch to it at this point.

BREAKING: Michael Burry says the market today feels like 'the last months of the 1999-2000 bubble'

@adamtaggart @adamtaggart you’ve unfortunately fallen for war propaganda and as a result you misunderstand the situation. Your analysis is sensible but you’ve got the basics wrong. Ships are free to transit the Strait so long as they pay the fees to Iran. There are no hostages.

I'm sure I'm going to regret wading back into the fray, but here goes... I'm hearing a lot of people say, "The US attacked Iran unprovoked, so of course Iran has the right to seize the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is just defending itself." First off, "the shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz...are governed by international maritime law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)" britannica.com/question/Who-o… Second and more important, since when has it ever been acceptable to attack or hold hostage neutral parties, in war or otherwise? Spoiler alert: NEVER Your enemies are fair game in war. But NOT neutral parties. Again, NEVER. If I'm wrong here, please some one show me historical precedent. But Iran's attempted taking hostage of the Strait and the ships of neutral nations held captive there, threatening them with deadly violence should they attempt to transit, flies in the face of this. Honest question: why do so many people see this as acceptable?

@DrNeilStone Why’d you cut off the chart at 2014?

OMG CANCER RATES ARE RISING IT MUST BE THE COVID VACCINE Reality Yes they are rising..which is worrying But this started many years before Covid-19 vaccines existed

@MaxManus73 @TheBTCTherapist This is retarded. So incredibly inaccurate yet claiming to know what you’re talking about 🤣

Shocked anyone who claims to understand Bitcoin doesn't understand that the US govt doesn't engage in commerce. The US doesn't export any oil. Private parties buy and sell oil futures. "Futures" means that the product will be delivered at a future date. If there is a net outflow from the US borders, it's more like a coincidence. It means that the buyers of Oil futures who took delivery happened to live outside of US borders, while the sellers of Oil futures happened to live inside the borders. If there are lots of foreign buyers, they will bid up Oil prices. It's called a free country and it's called free enterprise and it's called 5A and 14A.

Why is the U.S. exporting record levels of oil if I’m still paying 50% more at the pumps? Make it make sense.

@TheBTCTherapist It’s a global commodity my friend. Commodities are almost-fungible goods with the primary difference being the physical location. Oil price in the US is set by the marginal supplier globally, not by the marginal supplier in the US.

@Gabe_Bernarde 👏

This is why my job is so easy. $SCA.B

@kjfxmonk @Rory_Johnston U.S. navy has never entered the gulf this entire war, they are parked 700km SW of Oman. Too scared to go anywhere near the gulf.

@Rory_Johnston When did the US Navy start heading for the Gulf en masse?

It’s really hard to overstate just how much of a long shot an oil bull market in 2026 was heading into the year. And, yet

@Osint613 🤣

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

@DonteStallworth @alaynatreene 😂🎯

@alaynatreene he had the opportunity to go to Vietnam…..

Trump speaking to CNBC claims he could've "won" the Vietnam & Iraq wars in five months "Five months. I would have won Vietnam, very quickly. I would have, if I were president. I would have won Iraq in the same amount of time"

@alaynatreene Wow the dementia is dementing ol’ Trumpy’s brain 🧠

@AndreasSteno This you @AndreasSteno ?

The crisis is over

@JavierBlas @AndreasSteno What is the spread doing right now?

It turns out that oil financial and physical markets do converge -- just not in the way that many were expecting. Dated Brent is now below $100 a barrel (from $145 last week), and physical differentials in the key pricing window have plunged >$10 from a few days ago.

@AndreasSteno Lmao claiming this graph is correct 😂 This chart was made specifically to claim the entire Hormuz closure would last less than 2 weeks. Where are we now Andreas? Which week of closure is this again? 9? But we live in a world where people like Marlo fail upwards

Well said

@AndreasSteno When you have to post “The crisis is over” two separate times weeks apart, but refuse to admit you were wrong the 1st time 🤣🤣 And most likely will be wrong the 2nd time too

@aberzimbabwe @AndreasSteno 😂😂😂

@Blairja @AndreasSteno Inflation is what keeps the system alive. A good thing? You decide. System or no system?

It is not really a controversial statement When more GDP is produced or Energy Unit - the price of the energy unit becomes a little less relevant on a running basis The US economy (and other developed economies) can better deal with an oil Price shock than 10-20 years sgo
