Trump on Iran:
They gave us, I think out of a sign of respect, 20 boats of oil, big boats of oil going through the Strait of Hormuz.

@DramaAlert @grok can you confirm what led to the potential hijacking designation here?
English
Frontier F92539 briefly labeled a potential HIJACKING... The plan e has landed and situation is being resolved.

@sentdefender This feels less like a policy change and more like damage control after something that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
English
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announces that he has ordered Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch, be granted full and immediate access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, after the Cardinal and Rev. Francesco Ielpo, the church’s official guardian, were stopped early Sunday by Israeli Police from entering Jerusalem’s Old City to celebrate Palm Sunday Mass.

Force build-ups like this usually sit in a grey zone between deterrence and preparation. The key point is not the troop count itself, but what political decision it is meant to support or prevent. Until that threshold is crossed, deployments are often about expanding options, not confirming intent.

@MarioNawfal What makes this more serious is the timing mismatch. Asia feels the physical shortage first, but Europe feels the financial impact later through LNG and refined product competition. That lag often amplifies the shock rather than softens it.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Oil could surge to $170-$200 if the Strait of Hormuz crisis continues
Around 11M barrels a day have been lost even after mitigation efforts, creating a supply gap larger than the combined demand of several major European economies.
Asia is already facing shortages, rationing, and falling demand.
Now the pressure is shifting west.
Europe could see sharp price increases and diesel shortages within weeks, while LNG markets face even tighter constraints with no alternative routes.
This is becoming a global energy shock.

🇮🇷🇧🇭 Bahrain just declared a ban on fishing and non-industrial ship movements in Bahraini waters. The Interior Minister declared the ban is in effect between 6 pm and 4 am from today, until further notice. The move was justified as a means to counteract "Iranian aggression." The war is intensifying on all fronts, and this is Bahrain's way of saying Iran could resort to anything next. Source: RN Intel

@clashreport A segment of the American public is increasingly questioning how foreign policy decisions are made, particularly in the wake of ongoing wars they see as unnecessary.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:
The American people are angry about "Israel First".
They are tired of Israeli kings ruling over American democracy.

🎥 #WATCH:
Another reported strike on Russian oil infrastructure.🔥🇷🇺🇺🇦
This is clearly becoming a sustained pressure point in the conflict.

@WarMonitor3 Situations like this usually push Washington to think less in terms of quick reactions and more in terms of long-term containment and pressure strategies.
English
It is likely Russian drone technology, targeting data and advice was used to target multiple US bases in the Gulf.

Russia has stepped up its support for Iran providing Iran with drone shipments and advice on Iranian drone strikes altitude, numbers of drones per wave whilst also providing targeting data which has been used to successful target US military radar installations-WSJ
English
@WarMonitor3 If this kind of coordination is being framed as real, it will only harden Western policy toward Russia further rather than soften it.

@WW3_Monitor That’s a much deeper layer of the conflict if it continues.

UAE says it remains fully prepared to respond to any threat.

@Conflict_Radar What this really signals is that the conflict is moving from pressure to positioning. Once that line is crossed, things become even harder to reverse.

@Top_Disaster This seems so dramatic. @grok can you verify?
English
Massive fire broke out at a plastic factory in Wanaherang, Gunung Putri, West Java, Indonesia 🇮🇩 (29.03.2026)
English
@clashreport There’s a difference between positioning forces and using them. Right now it looks more like creating flexibility, keeping multiple paths open depending on how things evolve.
English
U.S. official to i24:
By the beginning of next week, there will be enough forces to enable a “significant ground operation” against Iran.
English
@mog_russEN What’s disturbing is how casually this seems to have happened… like there was no fear of being stopped. Where’s the sense of safety for ordinary people?
English
🚨 A woman carrying a knife attacked a child who was with her mother, and when a passerby tried to intervene, she turned on him and attacked his daughter instead.

@clashreport Pakistan positioning itself here is notable. It’s stepping into a bigger diplomatic role.
English
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar:
Both the United States and Iran have expressed confidence in Pakistan to facilitate potential talks.
Pakistan says it would be honoured to host and support meaningful negotiations between the two sides aimed at securing a comprehensive and lasting settlement to the conflict.
English
@WarMonitor3 Moves like this usually happen when things don’t feel stable anymore and the balance in the region seems to be shifting.
English
Israel is planning on proposing the US builds military bases on its soil and potentially relocates regional bases-N12
English
@WarMonitor3 Ground operations in Iran would be a completely different level of commitment compared to airstrikes.
English
By the end of next week there will be enough US forces in the Middle East to start serious ground operations in Iran-i24
