@pati_marins64 @jdamijan The fog of war and propaganda from both sides, impossible to know what’s true.
But IF this version is true, it’s good. It means both sides are talking and making small deals. Much better than total war. If.
On the other side, how does Iran bombing UAE port come into picture?
English
Today, two U.S. destroyers transited the strait into the Persian Gulf without being harassed by the Iranians. It’s possible they will anchor in the Emirates to reinforce anti-aircraft defenses.
And why didn't Iran stop these vessels? Because, by all indications, there is an agreement where Iran pretends nothing passes through the strait, and the U.S. pretends no Iranian ships are leaving the region.
As I reported yesterday, about 25-35 Iranian ships loaded with oil bypassed the American blockade. Why? The U.S. priority is to maintain the flow of oil in the international market, and stopping Iranian exports would only worsen that. Obviously, this deal includes Iran quietly allowing the passage of several tankers.
So, one side pretends to run a naval blockade against Iranian exports, while the other pretends the strait is closed to American military ships.
Iran is the clear loser in this deal, giving Trump the argument that the operation freedom project, he claims to be implementing is actually opening the strait by force.

I don’t think you realize how wild this is…
$BTC just pumped to $81,600 and liquidated $509M shorts!
Now, the 90 day liquidation map has:
$3.27B Shorts!
$17.61B Longs!!!
That's 5.6x more longs than shorts all way down to $68,000 ready to be liquidated...
Bulls might not like what happens next.
CryptoReviewing@CryptoReviewing
This is unbelievable. $BTC pumped to $81,600 this morning liquidating $509M shorts! That's after $BTC dumped to $78,200 yesterday liquidating another $168M $677M total Crypto liquidations in 24 hours! Now, $81,500 - $84,000 above has sizable liquidity that could be swept - potentially leading to higher levels. However, $76,500 - $80,300 below has much larger liquidation clusters stacked up, making this the 'higher probability' zone to visit next - from a liquidity perspective. Bulls are dominating right now.

@mhdksafa They didn't close jack shit, the US escorted 2 ships through it. Iran fired crappy missiles that were easily shot down, then they sent out 7 speed boats to intercept, that were sunk by helicopters. Zero damage to US Navy or the escorted ships. Strait is open.
English
The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war.
The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started.
Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous.
If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.
English
@mhdksafa Iran is bluffing. They have the same weapons as ISIS.
Their Navy is gone, the Air Force is gone. The military men are leaving now they aren’t getting paid.
Irans Islamic state is in its final weeks or days.

@AlexAndBooks_ Im building regroundd.app for this reason. Just couldnt stand seeing my family members and friends (even myself) getting addicted to a fake reality.

This is crazy:
According to TikTok's own internal records, short-form content is so powerful that:
"In under 35 minutes, an average user is likely to become addicted to the platform."
I imagine the same is true for IG Reels and YouTube Shorts. No wonder everyone has brainrot.

@A_Hollywood1776 @DD_Geopolitics Even worse. Trump’s art of negotiation is really “art of stealing”.

@Wechta @DD_Geopolitics No the refunds will go to Trumps secretary Howard Lutnick because lutnik had his sons buy the rights to the refunds for pennies on the dollar.

🇺🇸 US Begins Refunding $166 Billion in Trump Tariffs After Supreme Court Rules Them Unlawful
In a 6-3 ruling in February, the Supreme Court struck down Trump's emergency tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), finding he had exceeded his authority by using emergency powers to justify broad peacetime tariffs.
🔸️Starting today, businesses can file refund claims through CBP's new CAPE customs portal.
🔸️Over 330,000 importers across 53 million shipments paid a total of roughly $166 billion — however, not all qualify in the first phase. As of April 14, some 56,500 importers had registered, eligible for $127 billion including interest.
🔸️Once approved, refunds plus interest will be paid within 60 to 90 days.

@RealPepeEscobar @GeromanAT Why would MBS do this?
Guided missiles and drones are becoming MAD weapons on smaller scale. Very hard and expensive to defend against them.
Iran, like Ukraine, showed that offensive is really hard these days. Real diplomacy is needed, not brute force.
English
MBS may have made his play.
No Saudi war on Iran.
No use of Saudi airspace for striking Iran.
That's right after Lavrov met Saudi FM Faisail al-Saud.
Russia proposes a new security architecture for the Persian Gulf.
Guaranteed by Russia, China, Turkiye, Pakistan.

@ShahinS29069 @Partisan_12 40k is speculation. Anyway, they killed Mossad agents and collaborators. USA would do the same.

@Partisan_12 Does it also say anything about massacring 40,000 people of a country you have invaded? He can stick his views where the sun doesn’t shine, IRGC idiot.

Iranian Dr. Ahmadian: International law grants states the right to control their coastlines and define their responsibilities therein.
The Gulf analyst: Which article is that?
Ahmadian: Article 14.. Look it up on your phone before you interrupt me.

@_InfoGram_ @GeromanAT Rofl, Iran was attacked and is defending. It’s like Russia saying that Ukraine is engaged in terrorism.

@anticommie71 @DD_Geopolitics @SoarAtlas And so many American assets destroyed. And there’s no mud. And both airplanes same problem.. Something doesn’t compute 😅
And since when does USA report casualties between special operations?
English
@Wechta @DD_Geopolitics @SoarAtlas Lmfao 🤣!!! How come the regime didn’t kill any Americans? Couldn’t stop the Americans from rescuing their pilot deep into their own country ? And has so many regime soldiers killed?
English
🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Soar Atlas has published high-resolution images of an abandoned airstrip south of Isfahan, Iran, where two HC-130J Combat King II combat search-and-rescue aircraft, along with a couple of “Little Bird” helicopters, were destroyed.

English
@anticommie71 @DD_Geopolitics @SoarAtlas To me it looks like waiting for them to come & land, so more had to come and then destroyed them all. Pretty smart ambush.
English
@DD_Geopolitics @SoarAtlas Amazing that the Islamic regime was so pathetic. They couldn’t stop American from landing a task force deep inside their country, rescue in an American pilot. What at the same time eliminating hundreds of regime troops.
Humanitarian at the highest level

@simonkp @MarioNawfal Israel is NO ally. It’s genocidal state with forever wars. It should be isolated.
English
@MarioNawfal This move seems very counterproductive. Israel is a major partner in tech and security, and cutting ties will only hurt both sides. We need to focus on stability and supporting our allies instead of creating trade barriers.

@Jaber_Algayal @Glenn_Diesen But doesn’t apply to USA when illegally starts wars, kidnaps elected leaders, blockades Kuba etc
Double standards anyone?
English
@Glenn_Diesen It is very strange that you imply the willingness to accept the fact that terrorist (like the Hothies) can simply threaten and blackmail world trade, and the world is supposed to just comply. That applies to Iran as well.
English
If the US blocks the Strait of Hormuz, then Yemen will likely block the Bab al-Mandab to shut down the Red Sea. The assumption of escalation dominance is Trump's main miscalculation.
English
@Glenn_Diesen So what exactly will 🇺🇸 do to Chinese ships? Torpedo them & start a war?
English
The US will start a blockade on all ships entering or exiting the Strait of Hormuz to counter Iran’s selective access.
English
@kbalaji1991 @MarioNawfal USA & Israel are violating international war with their illegal war.
It’s perfectly legal to defend when attacked.
English
Already routes are being planned without using the strait. Just block all of Iran's ships in and out. Iran can sit like a chicken with the strait. The gulf countries can use the alternate routes for their trade than the strait. Iran does not bomb since no one is bombing them. But if they do, they violate the international laws, and every gulf country and the US has the right to attack them.
English
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Hours after the Islamabad talks collapsed, Trump shares an article about his "trump card": a full naval blockade of Iran, the same strategy he used to weaken Venezuela before Maduro's ouster.
A naval blockade would choke off all remaining Iranian trade, not just oil, and could be enforced by the three carrier strike groups already in the region.
But Iran isn't Venezuela.
Venezuela had no ability to close an international shipping lane.
Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz and just promised to continue "sacred defense by any means necessary."
A blockade of Iran could trigger a counter-blockade of the Strait, which would take the global economy from crisis to catastrophe.
The Venezuela playbook worked because Maduro had no leverage.
Iran has the most important chokepoint on earth.
Blockading a country that can blockade you back is a very different game.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran's message after the talks collapsed: We're not in a hurry. You are. Fars News, citing an unnamed official: "Until the U.S. agrees to a reasonable deal, there will be no change in the situation of the Strait of Hormuz." But Iran's FM spokesman offered a more measured take. He confirmed the two sides actually agreed on some points, with Hormuz being the main obstacle. And then the most pragmatic statement to come out of Tehran since the war started: "We should have never expected to reach a deal in one session. We will continue to work to bring the two views closer together." That's two very different signals from the same government on the same day. The security establishment says no movement on Hormuz. The diplomatic establishment says keep talking. Iran can afford to wait. Oil above $100 generates revenue. Hormuz control generates leverage. Time pressure works against Washington, not Tehran. Every day the Strait stays restricted, American consumers pay more at the pump and Trump's midterm math gets worse and worse. Vance's "final and best offer" is on the table. Iran isn't rejecting it. It's letting it sit there while the clock does all the work for them. Source: Fars News, IRNA

@GeromanAT Do you think the Iranians are prepared for a no deal

Because he knows there won't be a deal.

Donald Trump said it makes no difference to him whether a deal is reached with Iran.
