Nobody knows how FUCKED everyone actually is right now. Not Iran. Not the Gulf. EVERYONE. Millions of people are going about their Monday morning — making coffee, checking emails, dropping kids at school — completely unaware that one decision in the next 48 hours could collapse their ENTIRE way of life. Here's the chain of events that's about to unfold and NOBODY is connecting the dots: → The U.S. and Israel are actively striking Iranian infrastructure RIGHT NOW — Tehran is being hit from north, south, east, and west → The IEA chief just said this crisis is WORSE than BOTH 1970s oil crises COMBINED → 40+ energy assets across the Middle East have ALREADY been destroyed → Iran has publicly stated: if you touch our power stations, we destroy energy infrastructure across the ENTIRE Gulf Now here's what "energy infrastructure across the Gulf" actually means for YOUR life: 💀 QATAR — supplies 25% of the world's LNG. Gone = Europe freezes next winter. 💀 SAUDI ARABIA — 10 million barrels per day. Gone = oil hits $300+. Your gas doubles OVERNIGHT. 💀 UAE — major refining hub. Gone = jet fuel shortage. Flights grounded GLOBALLY. 💀 KUWAIT — 3 million barrels per day. Gone = another 5% of global supply wiped. 💀 BAHRAIN — regional banking hub. Gone = Gulf financial system COLLAPSES. And that's just energy. Add the undersea cables: 💀 95% of global internet flows through cables in the Persian Gulf — Iran threatened to cut them 💀 No banking. No crypto. No cloud. No communications between Europe and Asia. 💀 $10 TRILLION in daily financial transactions — DARK. Add the water: 💀 Iran threatened to hit desalination plants — Kuwait gets 90% of drinking water from them 💀 Qatar gets 99%. UAE 42%. Saudi 60%. 💀 50 million people — ZERO drinking water. This is not a regional war anymore. This is a single trigger event that simultaneously destroys: → Global energy supply → Global internet connectivity → Drinking water for 50 million people → Financial markets across 3 continents → Supply chains for EVERYTHING you buy Owen Jones is right. This would be one of the major "before-and-after" events of human history. The people who understand what's coming are already preparing. The people who don't are scrolling past this tweet. The most dangerous part? It's not that this CAN happen. It's that every single piece is already in motion. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 X is hiding this. Follow + RT before it disappears. 🔥

Joining @TGowdySC on @GowdyAmerica tonight. Tune in. On the table: Why did 5 House Republicans vote to subpoena @AGPamBondi? Hard to figure except some need vast amounts of attention all the time. Especially Nancy Mace who is losing her primary for SC Governor to @AGAlanWilson.

“The Gulf was against this war from the beginning, but #Iran is crossing every red line,” said a well-connected person in the Gulf, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. “Now, the Gulf might be willing to go all the way.” washingtonpost.com/world/2026/03/…

I’ve been accused of being too soft on @SecWar. Fine. Problem is his performance has been exceptional. But here’s where I’m livid: no serious DoW pressure on Newsom and the California Coastal Commission which are both getting massive support from China. Oil is more important to the military than oxygen. We can’t even fight from space without fuel for our rockets. Shutting refineries right after Biden closed Hawaii’s strategic military fuel reserves is a deathblow to Pacific readiness. RIGHT NOW we are exporting crude to South Korea to refine gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to ship back to California. If Hormuz teaches us anything it MUST be that oil tankers are sitting ducks for drone and missiles. There is zero chance California, home to our most important Naval Base, will be able to receive shipments from South Korea in the event of war with China. If war broke out right now California would grind to a halt without these imports but our military could still function. With these new closures, our military would need serious rationing too. The DoW needs to drop the hammer on this ASAP or our refueling planes and fleet oilers will be stuck at home during the next war. And we need a lot more than 8 🇺🇸 tankers in the US Merchant Marine tanker security program and those tankers must have CWIS or other defensive systems or else Hawaii is screwed. As Hormuz is teaching us, foreign seafarers aboard supertankers simply refuse to follow Navy directives. Seizing ships doesn’t work either because, as we saw in Venezuela, operationally it’s easy to do but we don’t have enough US Merchant Mariners to sail them home. And Congress refuses to pass the SHIPs Act so there is zero chance of training more. The full force and weight of the DoW MUST be applied to this issue. @SecWar’s current grade on fuel and oil security in the Pacific is sadly an F. P.S. if you are liberal don’t dare tell me this is necessary to stop climate change. The Pacific is the largest ocean and oil tankers sailing to and from South Korea are emitting metric sh!ttons of CO2.

Congrats California for creating a hostile business environment that has caused PSX and VLO refining to leave your state during a time when we need domestic refining capacity the most.

BREAKING: In the last 24 hours, the 2026 Iran war crossed four thresholds simultaneously. Each one would be the lead story of any other week. Together they form the architecture of an escalation spiral that has no off-ramp visible from any capital on Earth. First. Iran struck Arad and Dimona in southern Israel on Saturday night, injuring approximately 180+ people. These are the towns nearest Israel’s Negev nuclear research centre. Tasnim confirmed the strikes were retaliation for Israel’s attack on the Natanz nuclear facility. Iranian missiles penetrated Israeli air defences and left large craters in residential areas. Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “a very difficult evening in the battle for our future.” The IRGC said it targeted military installations across five cities: Arad, Dimona, Eilat, Beersheba, and Kiryat Gat. Second. Israel continued strikes on Tehran and Isfahan overnight into Sunday. Massive joint US-Israeli air raids hit multiple areas of the capital. CENTCOM confirmed the US has now struck over 8,000 military targets across 23 days of war, including 130 Iranian vessels, which it called “the largest elimination of a navy over a three-week period since World War II.” Iran’s energy minister confirmed on Sunday that “the country’s vital water and electricity infrastructure has suffered heavy damage” from US and Israeli strikes, including “dozens of water transmission and treatment facilities” and “critical water supply networks.” Israel previously struck South Pars, Iran’s portion of the world’s largest gas field. Eighty percent of Iranian electricity comes from natural gas. The attack on South Pars directly threatens power generation for 90 million people. Third. President Trump posted his 48-hour ultimatum Saturday night: reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Monday evening or the US will “hit and obliterate” Iranian power plants “starting with the biggest one first.” Iran’s armed forces responded that the strait would be “completely closed” if power plants are hit. Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf posted on X that all energy and oil infrastructure across the entire region would become “legitimate targets” and be “irreversibly destroyed.” That word “irreversibly” is doing the work of a thousand missiles. It means desalination plants. It means refineries. It means the infrastructure that produces drinking water for the Arabian Peninsula. Fourth. Saudi Arabia expelled Iranian diplomats. Riyadh declared the military attache, his deputy, and three other embassy members persona non grata with 24 hours to leave. This follows ongoing Iranian strikes on Saudi territory. Turkey’s foreign minister warned from Riyadh that Gulf countries may be forced to retaliate. The Gulf states, which have so far absorbed Iranian attacks without entering the war, are running out of room. Now hold all four escalations simultaneously. Iran strikes Israel’s nuclear doorstep. Israel and the US hammer Iranian water and power. Trump sets a 48-hour clock on power plant destruction. Iran promises permanent Hormuz closure and irreversible destruction of regional infrastructure if the clock runs out. Saudi expels Iranian diplomats. The Gulf moves toward belligerency. Brent trades above $113. WTI above $100. Goldman forecasts $110 to $125 for April with tail risk to $150. The IEA has released 400 million barrels of emergency reserves, the largest in history. The 48-hour clock expires Monday evening. Every barrel trapped in the Gulf is a barrel that does not become fertilizer. Every power plant destroyed in Iran is a megawatt that does not synthesise ammonia. Every desalination plant threatened in the Gulf is drinking water for millions. The war is no longer about missiles and territory. It is about molecules: water, nitrogen, helium, crude. The missiles are the mechanism. The molecules are the consequence. And the clock is ticking.

Tomorrow, Trump may send Iran into darkness, and with it, our legacy as a nation. The reaction will be severe, and could send the global economy off a cliff. 100 million refugees could be created, virtually overnight. Slipping the world into chaos creates risks we cannot now predict, or even fathom. Such a chain of events is more dangerous than ever in the nuclear age. Resource scarcity and geopolitical chaos are breeding grounds for world wars. With Trump at the helm of our military, who knows where it would end up. I hope cooler heads prevail. But there is no one left to restrain the madman in the Oval Office, so anything is possible.

“Take over your government: It will be yours to take,” Mr. Trump told Iranians…after saying they should first seek shelter from the bombing. Three weeks into the war, an Iranian uprising has not yet materialized. Me: Have the bombs stopped dropping yet?
Ronen Bergman@ronenbergman

As the United States and Israel prepared to go to war with Iran, the head of Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence service, went to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a plan. Within days of the war’s beginning the Mossad would likely be able to galvanize the Iranian opposition — igniting riots and other acts of rebellion that could even lead to the collapse of Iran’s government. Mossad Chief also presented the proposal to senior Trump administration officials during a visit to Washington in mid-January. Mr. Netanyahu adopted the plan. Despite doubts about its viability among senior American officials and some officials in other Israeli intelligence agencies, both he and President Trump seemed to embrace an optimistic outlook. Killing Iran’s leaders at the outset of the conflict, followed by a series of intelligence operations intended to encourage regime change, they thought, could lead to a mass uprising that might bring about a swift end to the war. “Take over your government: It will be yours to take,” Mr. Trump told Iranians in his initial address at the war’s start, after saying they should first seek shelter from the bombing. Three weeks into the war, an Iranian uprising has not yet materialized. American and Israeli intelligence assessments have concluded that the theocratic Iranian government is weakened but intact, and that widespread fear of Iran’s military and police forces has dampened prospects both for nascent rebellion in the country and for ethnic militias outside of Iran to launch cross-border incursions.

The IRGC can definitely hit the UK with a missile that can hit Diego Garcia, the distance is the same, and if it hadn’t been for the efforts of the United States and Israel, all of Europe would have been under a permanent jihadi nuclear cloud, since just as they were lying about the missile range, they were lying about building the nukes to put on the end of those missiles: nukes to destroy London, Paris, and Madrid, and bring about the Armageddon they are religiously bound to crave. No need to thank Israel and the United States for literally saving the world, but history will know what they did, and how the childish leaders of Europe stood on the sidelines and whined as the adults saved them from their own stupidity.
Piers Morgan@piersmorgan

So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.

Eighty percent of Iranian electricity comes from natural gas. The attack on South Pars directly threatens power generation for 90 million people. Third. President Trump posted his 48-hour ultimatum Saturday night: reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Monday evening or the US will “hit and obliterate” Iranian power plants “starting with the biggest one first.” Iran’s armed forces responded that the strait would be “completely closed” if power plants are hit. Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf posted on X that all energy and oil infrastructure across the entire region would become “legitimate targets” and be “irreversibly destroyed.” That word “irreversibly” is doing the work of a thousand missiles. It means desalination plants. It means refineries. It means the infrastructure that produces drinking water for the Arabian Peninsula. Fourth. Saudi Arabia expelled Iranian diplomats. Riyadh declared the military attache, his deputy, and three other embassy members persona non grata with 24 hours to leave. This follows ongoing Iranian strikes on Saudi territory. Turkey’s foreign minister warned from Riyadh that Gulf countries may be forced to retaliate. The Gulf states, which have so far absorbed Iranian attacks without entering the war, are running out of room. Now hold all four escalations simultaneously. Iran strikes Israel’s nuclear doorstep. Israel and the US hammer Iranian water and power. Trump sets a 48-hour clock on power plant destruction. Iran promises permanent Hormuz closure and irreversible destruction of regional infrastructure if the clock runs out. Saudi expels Iranian diplomats. The Gulf moves toward belligerency. Brent trades above $113. WTI above $100. Goldman forecasts $110 to $125 for April with tail risk to $150. The IEA has released 400 million barrels of emergency reserves, the largest in history. The 48-hour clock expires Monday evening. Every barrel trapped in the Gulf is a barrel that does not become fertilizer. Every power plant destroyed in Iran is a megawatt that does not synthesise ammonia. Every desalination plant threatened in the Gulf is drinking water for millions. The war is no longer about missiles and territory. It is about molecules: water, nitrogen, helium, crude. The missiles are the mechanism. The molecules are the consequence. And the clock is ticking.

BREAKING: In the last 24 hours, the 2026 Iran war crossed four thresholds simultaneously. Each one would be the lead story of any other week. Together they form the architecture of an escalation spiral that has no off-ramp visible from any capital on Earth. First. Iran struck Arad and Dimona in southern Israel on Saturday night, injuring approximately 180+ people. These are the towns nearest Israel’s Negev nuclear research centre. Tasnim confirmed the strikes were retaliation for Israel’s attack on the Natanz nuclear facility. Iranian missiles penetrated Israeli air defences and left large craters in residential areas. Prime Minister Netanyahu called it “a very difficult evening in the battle for our future.” The IRGC said it targeted military installations across five cities: Arad, Dimona, Eilat, Beersheba, and Kiryat Gat. Second. Israel continued strikes on Tehran and Isfahan overnight into Sunday. Massive joint US-Israeli air raids hit multiple areas of the capital. CENTCOM confirmed the US has now struck over 8,000 military targets across 23 days of war, including 130 Iranian vessels, which it called “the largest elimination of a navy over a three-week period since World War II.” Iran’s energy minister confirmed on Sunday that “the country’s vital water and electricity infrastructure has suffered heavy damage” from US and Israeli strikes, including “dozens of water transmission and treatment facilities” and “critical water supply networks.” Israel previously struck South Pars, Iran’s portion of the world’s largest gas field.

Joined the great @marklevinshow tonight. For 47 years, Iran’s regime has murdered, maimed, kidnapped, and tortured Americans. @POTUS @realDonaldTrump is the only president—past or future—willing to confront the nuclear, missile, and terror threat posed by a sworn American enemy.
