🚨 BREAKING: 🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israel strikes Qasimiya Bridge over Litani River in Lebanon again a day after previous strike.




@mjor22308 @JayantBhandari5 Well, the first wave was extremely conservative and came from loyal noble families, where education generally focused on English classics. That's why they were almost invisible despite being present and their numbers were only in the thousands.




🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 United Airlines CEO: We expect oil prices not to fall to $100 per barrel before the end of 2027 "If prices stayed at this level, it would mean an extra $11 billion in annual expense just for jet fuel." Looks like we'll all be paying for the Iran war for years to come. Source: Reuters




🚨 HUGE WARNING: Insiders are non-stop selling stocks...

Palantir AI + Claude was used to detect, prioritize, and strike over 1,000 targets in the first 24 hours of Operation against IRAN. The success was so ridiculous, so game-changing, that the Pentagon didn’t even wait. What used to be just a pilot project, just something they were testing out… suddenly became official, permanent, and everywhere. Palantir is now the core AI brain of the entire U.S. military. It’s getting rolled out across ALL branches.


🚨THE REAL REASON BEHIND THE IRAN WAR? IT MIGHT BE WAY DARKER THAN THEY'RE TELLING US We're four weeks into this Iran conflict now. Operation Epic Fury kicked off February 28, 2026, with U.S. and Israeli strikes taking out Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and hammering nuclear sites, missile bases, and the navy. The official story is about stopping nukes and cutting off terror support. But a lot of people are connecting dots in a much harsher direction. Two theories are blowing up online that make the whole thing look like a calculated double play. Theory 1: Starving China by hitting its oil supply It starts back in 2003. The U.S. goes into Iraq and ends up with major influence over a huge chunk of world oil reserves. Fast forward to today: China controls about 70 percent of rare earth mining and 90 percent of processing. Those elements power electric cars, fighter jets, drones, AI chips, everything high-tech. The U.S. tried choking them with chip export bans, but it backfired big time. China just sped up building their own tech. So if you can't hit their tech edge directly, hit their fuel instead. The Strait of Hormuz is the choke point. Almost half of China's crude oil comes through there. If the U.S. can control (or create enough chaos around) Iraq, Venezuela (which flipped our way after Maduro), and now Iran, you can squeeze the flow. China's 1.4 billion people feel even a small shortage fast. Russia can't fully cover the gap. Bottom line: they hold our tech hostage, we hold their energy hostage. Theory 2: Crashing global oil supply to fix America's debt mess February 20, 2026: Supreme Court kills Trump's emergency tariffs. That wipes out $175 billion in revenue overnight and makes the $39 trillion debt look even scarier. Two days later, the Iran strikes start.Then Trump posts on Truth Social: reopen Hormuz in 48 hours or we flatten your power plants. Iran has said for years: you hit our energy, we burn everyone else's in the Gulf. And that's exactly what went down. Qatar's massive Ras Laffan LNG hub got wrecked, Saudi refineries are burning, UAE terminals are hit, Kuwait and Bahrain are slashing output. Hormuz is basically shut down. Oil prices are rocketing toward $150+ a barrel. The brutal part: the U.S. is already the world's top oil producer and a net exporter. Throw in more Venezuelan barrels flowing under our deals, and sky-high prices mean huge money pouring in. Europe, Asia, and the Gulf states get hammered with inflation and shortages. But America sells into the chaos at premium prices and uses the cash to attack the debt. Trump gets to go down in history as the guy who made America untouchable again. The big picture: One war delivers both payoffs at once. China gets starved of oil and has to ease up on its rare-earth leverage. The U.S. rides the chaos, banks massive energy profits, chips away at the debt, and comes out stronger while the rest of the world pays the price.Gulf burning, global economy hurting, America cashing checks. That's the pattern a lot of people are seeing right now.What do you think? Does it line up too perfectly, or is it just dark coincidence? Drop your take.

🚨 Gas supplies may start running out in days as flows from the Persian Gulf are disrupted. Qatar, responsible for ~20% of global LNG, has halted exports after Hormuz was blocked. I don't think the global economy can sustain a long war in Iran. Trump either needs to seek an off-ramp, or somehow open the Strait Source: FT
