@NiohBerg @189Ceecee Pretty much the entire world(except mooslime countries) are praying for you.

My mom just called me from Iran through her landline. I haven’t spoken to her since February.
She said that Israel and the US are bombing the regime nonstop.
They taped all the windows because the building shakes constantly.
I asked if any civilians are getting hurt, and she replied “No, No, No. No normal civilians are getting hurt”
Everyone is hanging in there and counting the days for this regime to end and for the return of the Shah. 🇮🇷

@NiohBerg So the landlines work even though Trump has claimed that the infrastructure has been destroyed?
English

@BarronTNews_ Funny the media just asked one the leaders that Trump says now supports the US, and was told that they had had no communications with Trump.
English

🚨 Six allies just flipped after pressure from Trump Japan Britain France Germany Italy and the Netherlands now backing security in the Strait of Hormuz that’s the shift they didn’t want to make but had to no more free rides no more hiding behind the US Trump pushed and they moved simple as that so who’s really leading the world right now
English

@KanekoaTheGreat You forgot to mention that the US just blew past $39T in debt and is looking at record deficits this year and next despite Trump's 'trillions' in investment. Classic bait and switch. Trump is in it for himself and his oligarch buddies.
English

I usually give Trump the benefit of the doubt when it comes to military operations.
What he pulled off in Venezuela was a miracle.
A hostile government was replaced with a friendly one without losing a single American soldier.
Venezuela has massive oil reserves and critical minerals, and it was China’s main foothold in the Western Hemisphere.
Now, they are praising Trump, sending gold to U.S. refineries, and opening up to American investment.
Operation Midnight Hammer was badass.
In his first term, he used targeted strikes to take out ISIS, al-Baghdadi, and Soleimani while avoiding large-scale wars.
If he could reshape Iran’s leadership like Venezuela and secure control over the Strait of Hormuz, that would be a huge strategic win.
But right now, it’s unclear how that happens.
Some OSINT analysts say ground troop movements may already be underway.
At the same time, the Pentagon has reportedly requested about $200 billion for the Iran war.
Even without boots on the ground, that kind of spending signals a longer, more expensive conflict.
One of Trump’s biggest selling points has always been projecting strength without dragging America into endless wars that cost lives and trillions of dollars.
Qatar produces about 20% of the world’s LNG, and it reportedly lost around 17% of its export capacity for up to five years after yesterday’s attack.
More strikes on energy infrastructure could drive inflation higher and shake the global economy.
I hope Trump succeeds with minimal loss of life and economic damage.
His track record is why I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
But I don’t want to see another prolonged ground war with heavy American casualties.
I hope he finds an off-ramp long before that happens.

@govt_corrupt That is why hundreds of US doctors and nurses are leaving the US to move to Canada - because healthcare sucks there!
English

Stop saying Canada has free healthcare. It doesn’t. It has taxpayer-funded healthcare.
Last time I checked, the average Canadian worker gets crushed by taxes.
And the service isn’t even good. You could be waiting hours in emergency or years to see a specialist or find a family doctor.
The only part of our healthcare system that works is MAID.

🚨 Iran is breaking apart in real time.Hit and run attacks hitting Basij checkpoints.Militias abandoning their posts.Regime losing control fast
People are rising.No fear left.This is how it ends
English

@PressSec What you don't say is that those polls are weeks old when Trump said the war would be over in 4 days and gas prices hadn't surged.

Americans Agree that Operation Epic Fury Is an Overwhelming Success

@AwokeSolom56409 @BarronTNews_ Any bets that Trump and his oligarch buddies have already bet on the outcome?!
English

This isn't just a military threat; it’s an energy ultimatum. South Pars holds roughly 8% of the world’s known gas reserves. By drawing this line, the U.S. is essentially telling the region that an attack on Qatar is an attack on the global economy. It’s 'Madman Theory' diplomacy—calculated escalation to force a de-escalation. If the bluff is called, we aren't just looking at a regional conflict; we’re looking at a global energy collapse.

@BarronTNews_ And then wipes out Gulf state oil and gas capabilities and gas goes to $7 a gallon. You own oil company stocks Barron, is that why you and daddy are so intent on crippling ME oil and gas?

🚨🚨🚨 THEY ALL JUST BENT THE KNEE. 🚨🚨🚨
Trump told the world → "help us secure the Strait of Hormuz, or deal with the consequences."
They said NO.
He pushed HARDER.
Now look what just happened:
💀 🇬🇧 BRITAIN — pledged support
💀 🇫🇷 FRANCE — pledged support
💀 🇩🇪 GERMANY — pledged support
💀 🇮🇹 ITALY — pledged support
💀 🇯🇵 JAPAN — pledged support
💀 🇳🇱 THE NETHERLANDS — pledged support
SIX allied nations just did a complete 180 — COUNTER to what they previously said.
Do you understand what that means?
⚠️ These same countries REFUSED to help just days ago
⚠️ Trump applied pressure — and they ALL caved
⚠️ The Strait of Hormuz carries 20% of the world's oil supply
⚠️ Iran was threatening to SHUT IT DOWN permanently
⚠️ Now 6 of the most powerful militaries on Earth are joining the operation
They're showing you "allies disagreeing with Trump."
They're NOT showing you those same allies quietly falling in LINE when it matters.
Love him or hate him — Trump just got 6 nations to reverse their position and commit military assets to the most dangerous chokepoint on the planet.
In the middle of a WAR. While oil is at $119. While the world is panicking.
One man applied pressure. Six nations folded.
That's not diplomacy. That's LEVERAGE.
Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨
If you're seeing this, the algorithm hasn't caught up yet. Follow + RT NOW. 🚨

@cbcwatcher Shows you how there is no planning at the WH. One day after telling Israel to bomb Iran’s gas fields Trump is now telling them to stop because he didn’t factor in the reaction.
English

Never a dull moment. The South Pars Gas Field (known as North Dome or North Field in Qatar) is the world's largest natural gas field by a wide margin and holds exceptional strategic importance for global energy supply. It is a single giant reservoir straddling the Iran-Qatar maritime border in the Persian Gulf

@BBMagaMom The US should leave the UN and NATO. No other country has anything the US needs so let them all go on their own.
English

🚨JUST IN: UN officials have admitted the United Nations is on the brink of complete financial collapse because member states are refusing to pay their dues.
“We face a real danger of running out of money.”
This is freaking hilarious. Good!!
Couldn’t happen to a more useless and evil organization.
Let it burn 🔥
English

🚨 BREAKING - Didn’t expect this. Great from Mark Rutte head of NATO, to be honest:
“It was crucial for Iran NOT to get Nuclear capability or Ballistic Missile capability”
"What the US and Israel is doing at the moment is degrading that capability of Iran, and I think that's very important”
"This is important for European security and for the Middle East”
**
He then seems to urge European allies to step up and help the US and Israel re-open the Strait of Hormuz:
"Then when it comes to the Hormuz trade, everybody agrees this trade cannot stay closed. It HAS to open up again as soon as possible."
"This is a crucial world economy. In my contacts with allies, what I'm seeing is that they are intensely discussing amongst each other, with the United States and amongst each other, the best way forward to tackle this huge security issue."
English

BREAKING:
🇸🇦🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Officially the Arab countries are threatening that they are going to join Israel and US in the war against Iran
After weeks of Iranian attacks, countries in the Gulf say their patience is wearing thin.
Saudi Arabia's FM warned that if strikes on GCC neighbours continue, military action is an option.
English

@ImtiazMadmood Yeah right. Iran is selling oil to China and India at record prices but the regime is broke. Do you come up with this stuff yourself or is it AI slop?
English

Spirit of the largest terror network on the planet is beginning to break.
Iran International reports:
Signs of economic collapse within the regime are showing. Low morale, financial strain, discontent and desertion spreading across all security and military forces.
Notice was given on Friday that salaries had “run into problems” - the third time already this year that wages were heavily delayed.
Many have since refused to attend pro-government gatherings, and major cities have reported low deployment of personnel. Retirees and most of the military have also not been paid for a second month in a row.
Senior commanders accuse the IRGC of using the financial crisis at Sepah bank as an excuse to divert funds away from security forces into institutions tied to clerical institutions. Fears now sparked that individuals within the hierarchy of the regime are getting ready to cut and run. Many already have.
If you don’t pay your security forces, who is going to protect you?
We edge closer to the endgame.

@glennbeck Too bad he couldn't stop them from doing it in the first place.

@dissidentwookie @DrEliDavid There is one global price for oil. In fact Iran is probably selling at a discount to market to China and India.
English

@HDucknick @DrEliDavid It is currently at $150 for China and Japan
The Japanese Prime Minister is here today, sealing a deal for oil and natural gas,
We can take the Iranian oil on those tankers which were headed to China, and send them to Japan
English

Trump masterfully made Strait of Hormuz "somebody else's problem". US oil is at $100, while Asia oil (dependent on Hormuz) is at $150.
Want Hormuz opened? Send ships to help. Otherwise, f*ck off and suffer.
zerohedge@zerohedge
The oil market has fragmented: Oil is now trading for $150/bbl in Asia (except the occasional sanctioned Iranian tanker) where demand destruction has started. China and India most pressured. Meanwhile it is still $100 in the US
