For decades, oil meant dollars. Now the petrodollar system is fading and so is the certainty of U.S. financial dominance.

The unthinkable happened — Iran just hit a U.S. F-35, piercing the world’s most advanced stealth fighter.

I’m not convinced by this at all. The setup raises more questions than it answers, why don’t we see the full room or the people present? And why are the ‘reporters’ only shown on split screen, with no clear context of where they actually are? The whole thing feels overly controlled and lacks transparency, which makes it hard to take at face value.

Regarding Benjamin Netanyahu—it’s quite simple. As he extends his arms, the sleeve shifts upward slightly. Since it was caught underneath, it then drops back into place quickly due to the tailored fit of the suit. The movement of the sleeve is clearly visible and behaves exactly as you’d expect. Right?

It appears to resemble a virtual production (VP) setup. The room itself is real, with people physically present and seated, but there is a conspicuously empty chair at the center. “Netanyahu”—or rather an AI-generated version of him—seems to have been digitally inserted into that space. Several details reinforce this impression. The individuals in the room show no visible reactions to anything “Netanyahu” says, suggesting they are not interacting with a real person. Additionally, the lighting on him does not match the ambient lighting of the room; his appearance is noticeably brighter and more polished than that of the surrounding people, which further indicates compositing. Taken together, these elements create a surreal effect—almost like a staged or synthetic reconstruction of reality. It evokes a strange, almost symbolic parallel, as if echoing historical wartime imagery in a modern, technologically mediated form.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will give a televised statement tonight at 8:30, followed by a virtual press conference with foreign reporters, his office says. This will be the second virtual press conference Netanyahu has given since the war began 20 days ago. So the press conference wasn’t even live 🤷

🇸🇦🛢 Saudi Arabia is ramping up oil exports amid the Strait of Hormuz closure: Crude oil shipments from Yanbu, a port on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast, are up to 4.19 million barrels per day. This marks a +185% increase from the ~1.47 million barrels per day that moved through the port in February, before the Iran War. The surge is being powered by a 746-mile pipeline rerouting crude from the eastern oil fields to Yanbu, bypassing the blocked Strait of Hormuz entirely. Shipments have also more than doubled since January’s 1.29 million barrels per day. As a result, Saudi Arabia has already recovered more than half of its pre-war export capacity of ~7 million barrels per day. Furthermore, at least 32 large oil tankers are waiting near Yanbu to load, with more still heading to the port. Saudi Arabia is aggressively looking to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

Is Benjamin Netanyahu dead, or is he in hiding due to the situation with Iran?

🇮🇷💣 Meet Iran’s SA-67 — a heat-seeking missile system hidden in plain sight. 
Launched from the back of an ordinary-looking truck, it turns mobility into lethality. This isn’t entirely new — air-to-air missiles repurposed as short-range SAMs have been around for years.
But Iran and its proxies are among the few who’ve actually made it work in combat — downing multiple aerial targets. Low profile. High impact. ⚠️🔥

A French naval officer inadvertently exposed the location of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle by publicly sharing a workout on the fitness app Strava. The run, logged while at sea, allowed observers to determine the carrier’s precise position in the Mediterranean near Cyprus. Although the ship’s deployment was publicly known, revealing its exact real-time location poses a significant security risk. Source: Le Monde

🚨 BOMBSHELL: Netanyahu just admitted airstrikes on Iran are NOT the endgame, hinting a ground phase is coming. This is how regional wars explode.
