@MenchOsint Just spin. Ships pay the Iranian toll, exit Hormuz and he doesn't intercept them. Present it as if they are somehow forcefully opening the straight

Trump claims launching an humanitarian mission to help ships get out of the Strait of Hormuz starting from Monday. Suspicious move, wondering if Iran has agreed to this, and what ships he is talking about.

@Investingcom the spin is off the charts ... they will pay the Iranian toll and leave, Trump is spinning ending his blockade as some sort of help ... but the MAGAtards will swallow this sht up

*TRUMP SAYS US TO HELP SOME SHIPS LEAVE HORMUZ STARTING MONDAY

@MenchOsint maybe Iran suspects that the US is planning to launch something from that area using all the ships as cover

Why would IRGC asks merchant vessels to leave Mina Saqr - Ras Al Khaimah to go further south 🤔

@OopsGuess @EricLDaugh does this also apply to foreign companies operating in China?

China has just cut off the claws of America’s long-arm jurisdiction inside China. It has warned companies operating in China not to obey U.S. unilateral sanctions. The blocking order is simple: Do not recognize. Do not execute. Do not comply. If Chinese companies help the U.S. enforce illegal sanctions that harm China’s legitimate interests, they may face consequences under Chinese law. The U.S. built its sanctions power through fear, secondary pressure, and over-compliance. China is now cutting that chain. But sure — tell me again how “China is panicking.”

🚨 JUST IN: China is PANICKING, they just filed to BLOCK President Trump and Scott Bessent's sanctions against five Chinese refiners accused of buying Iranian oil and FUNDING the regime China is feeling the heat. Trump is gaining on them. They KNOW the blockade is working! "The ministry named the five as Hengli Petrochemical (Dalian) Refinery, and so called 'teapot' refineries Shandong Jincheng Petrochemical Group, Hebei Xinhai Chemical Group, Shouguang Luqing Petrochemical and Shandong Shengxing Chemical," Reuters reported "The injunction stipulates that the United States cannot recognize, implement, or ‌comply with the sanctions imposed ​on the aforementioned five Chinese companies," the ministry said

@ejmalrai you must be out of your mind Elijah if you think NYT, the biggest Israel cheerleader, is in any way a reliable source. Only reason they are posting this is because Israel is stuck in Lebanon and NYT desperate to try and find an exit for them. No one should give them the click!

With the cease-fire fraying and Israel demolishing villages in the south, many Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon are putting aside their annoyance with the group and turning to it for protection. You can read it for free without a subscription. nytimes.com/2026/05/01/wor…

@SecScottBessent @POTUS I feel for the Chinese having to deal with u, a smug ignorant cunt

This morning, I convened talks with Vice Premier He Lifeng to discuss @POTUS’ upcoming travel to China. Our meeting was both candid and comprehensive, and I stressed that China’s recent provocative extraterritorial regulations have a chilling effect on global supply chains. I look forward to a productive summit between President Trump and President Xi in Beijing.

@14traderO @MiddleEastEye Why was she released? Erdogans hypocracy has no limits

@MiddleEastEye She was not “released” She was put under house arrest and then deported You’re making it sound like Türkiye gave in and let her roam freely in Türkiye after pressure from the US and Israel

A Turkish-Israeli citizen was released after being detained in Turkey for serving in the Israeli army, following intervention from the US and Israeli governments ⤵️

@Hashi25979Hashi A very different Somalia before the Wahhabi infestation

Somalia was at the forefront of the liberation of Mozambique. Angola. Namibia. And, Zimbabwe. It trained dozens of national liberation movements. Including those of Ethiopia (TPLF) and Eritrea EPLF…

@zhao_dashuai never under estimate their duplicity

Ever since the EU was humbled and left out to dry in the Iranian war, they have been extra cordial.

@ClementDelangue cool but more importantly, is the neon from LC sign?

Just received new reach minis for the Miami office! This is the first robot that goes out to people with agentic software meaning anyone can build any apps with their agents so excited to see what people will build with it! This batch was a bit late (sorry it’s hard to build and ship open-source robots) but we shipped 1,000 of them last week, 1,000 this week and hopefully a few hundred more early May.

@FT You guys try to see everything from a Ukraine lens! The country is a zero on the left, as is said in Arabic, in terms of MidEast affairs

@Glenn_Diesen ... nice bit of theater

Zelensky threatens Israel with sanctions over delivery of "stolen" grain

@JavierBlas No, they paid the Iranian toll and are free to cross

Interesting movement in the Strait of Hormuz: A supertanker linked to Japan is entering the SoH on her way out of the Persian Gulf. The Idemitsu Maru VLCC is following the Iranian new shipping lanes with a ~2m barrel cargo of Saudi oil. Negotiation signal? Diplomatic move?

@DD_Geopolitics fake news!

🇱🇧 Hezbollah has activated martyrdom squads in Israeli-occupied areas of southern Lebanon, deploying fighters for direct hand-to-hand combat with Israeli forces using 1980s-style tactics. A Hezbollah military commander stated that large groups of "martyrdom" fighters have been deployed across occupied southern Lebanese territory according to pre-planned maps, with their mission being direct engagement with Israeli officers and soldiers to prevent Israel from establishing control on Lebanese soil. The move comes after Israel deployed five divisions into southern Lebanon (the 36th, 91st, 98th, 146th, and 162nd) with the stated goal of destroying buildings near the border and pushing Hezbollah north of the Litani River. Despite Trump's ceasefire announcement and multiple extensions, Israel has continued strikes almost daily, with the casualty toll rising to 2,491 killed and 7,719 wounded since fighting resumed on March 2. Hezbollah dismissed the ceasefire extension as "meaningless" in light of Israel's continued attacks. On April 26 alone, Israeli strikes killed 14 people in southern Lebanon, including two women and two children. Israel claims it maintains "full freedom of action" and is only responding to ceasefire violations. Hezbollah is shifting tactics, from long-range strikes to close-quarters combat in occupied territory. The 1980s playbook is back: ambushes, IEDs, hand-to-hand engagement.
