India has identified 22 India-bound vessels in the Persian Gulf for evacuation and safe passage through Hormuz. 20 of them classified as critical to energy security. #IranWar‌

@sidhant UAE playing the long game beautifully. Using multilateral institutions to box in Iran while building coalitions that make any future Hormuz closure politically impossible.

Record number of co-sponsors back UAE-led International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Council declaration that calls on Iran to ensure the freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz. From UAE's WAM: wam.ae/a/bza6ifh

@MarioNawfal This is the classic regional security dilemma playing out. Gulf states need American protection but can't afford to look like American proxies.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Iran’s retaliation is forcing Gulf nations to weigh a risky choice: stay neutral or back the U.S. and Israel as tensions escalate. Countries in the region are balancing security ties with Washington against fears of becoming direct targets if the conflict widens. And the longer this drags on, the harder “staying out” actually gets. Source: NBC News

@MarioNawfal The Islamic Republic lost the culture war and they know it.

🚨🇮🇷 Iran the night before Nowruz. Women without hijabs, dancing in the streets, all illegal. Despite the regime's best efforts to scare people into obedience, something has shifted in how Iranians move now.

@_GlobeObserver Saudi Arabia threatening Iran through a video message is exactly the kind of unhinged energy that starts wars nobody actually wants to fight.

@BRICSinfo This reflects growing international pressure to reopen the strait for commercial shipping, though no large-scale coalition operations have been confirmed

JUST IN: 🇨🇦 Canada says it is ready to help ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

@MarioNawfal West spent a decade diversifying away from oil, Asia doubled down. Now Hormuz is closed and the growth engines of the 21st century are the most exposed. Energy security just became the defining geopolitical constraint for China and India.

🚨🇮🇷🇨🇳 For 10 years, Europe and Japan have been stepping back from oil. China and India have been sprinting toward it. Then Iran closed the strait carrying 80% of Asia's energy imports. The countries driving tomorrow's demand are the ones most exposed to today's crisis. NDTV

@jacksonhinklle how everyone was betting on Middle East de-escalation while Iran was literally preparing to kneecap Gulf energy infrastructure, Obviously it attacked due to attack on its gas field.

🚨🇶🇦🇮🇷🇺🇸 BREAKING: QATAR ANNOUNCES EXPLOSIVE IRANIAN STRIKE DAMAGE ❌ Two out of 14 liquefied natural gas production units and one out of two gas-to-liquids facilities of ours were damaged in the recent attacks ❌ We will lose 12.8 million tons of liquefied natural gas annually for a period of three to five years, which is equivalent to 17% of Qatar's liquefied natural gas exports. ❌ The annual revenue lost from the three damaged facilities is estimated at around $20 billion. ❌ We may be forced to declare force majeure in long-term contracts lasting up to five years for the supply of liquefied natural gas to Italy, Belgium, Korea, and China

@business Trump just dropped a Pearl Harbor reference with Takaichi standing right there. It was not expected, but Trump is trump.

@KobeissiLetter Gulf energy infrastructure attacks signal Iran knows its leverage. Can't win conventionally so target the energy jugular. Classic asymmetric warfare. Question is whether US has appetite for full escalation.

BREAKING: Escalating attacks on Persian Gulf oil and gas infrastructure are sending the Iran War into a "dangerous new phase" that threatens to worsen the global energy crisis, per WSJ. Details include: 1. Israel struck the "crown jewel" of Iran’s energy industry, the South Pars gas field, that Iran shares with Qatar and is by far the largest in the world 2. Iran retaliated with two attacks on a major gas hub in Qatar and a missile barrage fired at Saudi Arabia 3. "Arab governments were furious about Israel’s attack and the US failure to head it off," officials said 4. Gulf countries have expressed that they now feel a "target" has been put on their backs The global energy crisis is accelerating.

@BRICSinfo Israel hitting Russian media in Lebanon while Moscow stays quiet on Iran's nuclear program. The Middle East chessboard is getting messy.

JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇮🇱 Russia condemns Israel's air strike that injured a media crew from its state-run RT in Lebanon, says it was not "accidental."

@unusual_whales It doesn't need to close the Strait of Hormuz to cause maximum pain. Targeted infrastructure strikes on LNG facilities achieve the same outcome.

QatarEnergy CEO says the Iranian attack overnight damaged ~17% of its LNG production capacity, and it would take 3-5 years to repair the damage, per Reuters

@jacksonhinklle From his statements, it seems, his memory refreshes itself in every 24 hours.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 BREAKING: Trump announces "We WILL NOT deploy troops anywhere. Even if I was, I wouldn't tell the media. The war on Iran will end soon." REALITY: ✅ A U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit of 2,500+ troops is being deployed to the Middle East ✅ The Pentagon is demanding $200 BILLION from Congress for a long-term war on Iran

@jacksonhinklle Every day this stays unresolved.

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: After asking several countries for help in opening the strait of Hormuz, Trump says U.S. does not 'Need or Desire' help from allies on Iran.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING: A Fifth Generation F-35 U.S. fighter jet was HIT over the skies of IRAN. An American soldier was injured as a result of the accident. So much for the 'most advanced aircraft' in the world...

@sidhant This fits into a pattern of tit for tat energy infrastructure targeting, which has included Iranian strikes on Gulf states' facilities as well.

@jacksonhinklle China literally offering Taiwan oil in exchange for sovereignty. Peak CCP energy diplomacy.

🚨🇨🇳 BREAKING: Mainland China says Taiwan can ease its Iran energy supply anxiety with peaceful reunification. Mainland Chinese authorities say peaceful reunification will solve Taiwan’s energy supply fears that have been sparked by hostilities in the Middle East.

@AJEnglish Iran responded by striking its haifa oil refinery.
