The US just told every shipping company in the world: pay Iran to use the Strait, get sanctioned. Iran tried to monetize the one thing they still control. The US just made it illegal to pay them for it. Iran's oil storage runs out in days. Their dolphin army isn't working. Now they can't even collect a toll.The blockade just got 10 times tighter without firing a single shot. ⚓🇺🇸

Trump just hit EU cars and trucks with 25% tariffs. BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ferrari, all about to get significantly more expensive in America. The EU has already warned of retaliatory tariffs on American goods. We're fighting a war with Iran, oil is at $101, gas is $4.30 a gallon, and now a full trade war with Europe. How many economic fronts can one country fight at once? 👀

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇪🇺 President Trump to increase tariffs on European Union cars and trucks to 25%.

WOW:🚨Intel was losing money, laying off 21,000 people, and posting its worst revenue in 25 years. The government stepped in with a multi-billion dollar CHIPS Act bailout to save it. Spirit Airlines runs out of cash this week. 500M bailout, gone. Government walked away. So the question is simple: why does a semiconductor company get saved and a budget airline that millions of working class Americans depend on gets left to die? Is it because chips are national security and Spirit is just cheap flights? Or is it something else? 👀 bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Oil hit $111 a barrel this morning, then crashed back to $101 in hours. The reason? Iran just sent an updated peace proposal to mediators in Pakistan. Markets immediately priced in hope. Meanwhile California gas crossed $6 a gallon today. The national average sits at $4.30. One peace proposal moved oil 10% in a single morning. That's how fragile this market is right now. 🛢️ cnbc.com/2026/05/01/oil…

New York is about to be the center of the world this summer. ⚽🗽

JUST IN: NYC Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, announces all World Cup FIFA fan events will be "100% free" in NYC.

While Iran can't move a single barrel through the Strait, the US just hit a record 6 million barrels a day in exports. America became the world's largest oil producer years ago. Now it's filling the exact vacuum Iran created. The blockade isn't just a military strategy. It's a market takeover. 🛢️📈

JUST IN: US oil exports hit record 6 million barrels per day last week

Pete Hegseth just put America's allies on notice, help us or face consequences. This comes while King Charles is literally at the 9/11 memorial in New York strengthening the US-UK bond, Iran is collapsing under the blockade, and the US needs coalition partners more than ever. Interesting time to start threatening your friends. 👀

@Polymarket King Charles flies to Washington, addresses Congress, and leaves with Trump announcing Britain is fully on board against Iranian nukes. That wasn't just a state visit. That was a war council with a crown on it. 👑

NEW: Trump declares that King Charles wants to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon “even more than I do.”

22 days of oil storage left. 1.5 million barrels about to stop pumping. Asian energy crisis deepening. And now Iran's telling Trump directly, they're collapsing. No bombs needed. No ground invasion. Just a naval blockade and 60 days of patience. The most effective economic siege in modern history. And it worked. 🌍⏳

JUST IN: Trump reveals Iran told him it is in a “state of collapse” and wants the Strait of Hormuz reopened.

This is the beginning of the end for Iran's war economy. 12-22 days of storage. 1.5 million barrels a day they'll have to stop pumping. Asian countries already in their worst energy crisis in history, and it's about to get worse. Iran thought the Strait was their weapon. Turns out the blockade is. You don't need bombs when you can just wait. ⏳🛢️

BREAKING: Iran is running out of places to store its oil amid the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with just 12 to 22 days of unused storage capacity left, per Bloomberg. As a result, Iran may soon need to cut another 1.5 million barrels of oil production per day. Much of these Iranian oil exports were going to Asian countries which are already witnessing their worst energy crisis in history. Asia's energy crisis will soon intensify even further.

Former FBI Director James Comey just had an arrest warrant issued against him, for posting a photo of seashells on a beach. The shells spelled "8647." The DOJ says that's a threat to assassinate Trump. Comey says he had no idea and took it down immediately. This is the second time Trump's DOJ has indicted Comey. The first case was thrown out by a federal judge. Legal experts say this one may not survive the First Amendment either. cnbc.com/2026/04/28/jam…

Everything is happening at once. ⛽💥

JUST IN: U.S. oil soars above $100 a barrel as peace talks with Iran stall.

New York City's leading mayoral candidate just declared war on hedge funds and private equity. Citadel just got regulatory approval in Dubai today. BlackRock has been eyeing Miami for years.

BREAKING: NYC's Mamdani pushes to shrink NY hedge fund and private equity tax breaks, per Bloomberg.

Rubio just called the Strait of Hormuz Iran's "economic nuclear weapon." He's not wrong. 20% of the world's oil supply. $99 barrel prices. Gas at $4.18 a gallon. Consumer sentiment at an all time low. Iran figured out you don't need a nuclear bomb to bring the West to its knees. You just need to close a 21-mile wide strait. 🌍

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Iran is using the Strait of Hormuz as an "economic nuclear weapon." "They're bragging about how they can hold 20% of the world's energy hostage."

@Polymarket Iran has 12-22 days of oil storage left, a blockaded strait, and a collapsing economy. Of course they're revising the proposal. The first offer got rejected. The second one will be softer. The third one softer still. That's not diplomacy, that's a countdown. ⏳

JUST IN: Iran is reportedly preparing a revised peace proposal after the U.S. rejected its initial offer.
