⭕️ U.S. and Gulf Allies Push UN Security Council Resolution Threatening Sanctions on Iran Over Hormuz
The U.S. and Gulf allies have introduced a draft UN Security Council resolution threatening Iran with sanctions or other measures if it does not:
▪️ Immediately stop all strikes on commercial and merchant shipping.
▪️Stop imposing what the resolution calls “illegal tolls”
▪️ Reveal the placement and number of sea mines to allow for safe navigation and removal
▪️ Participate in and enable U.N. efforts to establish a safe passage for aid, fertilizer, and other essential goods.
The resolution is co-sponsored by Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar, and is drafted under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter — meaning it could ultimately be enforced militarily.
Rubio called the vote a “real test” for the UN. He also acknowledged uncertainty over whether adjustments to the text would be enough to avoid a Chinese or Russian veto. A previous Hormuz resolution was vetoed by both countries in April.

An article that shocked Jews today
The article is from Haaretz
It predicts the end of Israel, the article's title:
Netanyahu will leave, but the state will die with him
Article summary:
Netanyahu didn't just destroy the state, he destroyed everything. Society is divided, the country is eroding, the army is weak, the judiciary is fearful, the media is superficial and the Knesset is unbalanced.
There is no solution to the Palestinian issue. The Zionist parties are ruling. Netanyahu caused unprecedented global hatred for Israel. There is no longer sympathy for us. Jews have become hated by the world. Netanyahu's exit from power means the fall of Israel.

@RandPaul 🤣Listen clown, gas prices are high because Trump makes war on Iran. Period.
English
Gas prices are high because Washington has spent years restricting your choices at the pump. My Fuel Choice and Deregulation Act tears down the EPA barriers blocking alternative fuels, opens the market to real competition, and puts energy freedom back in the hands of American drivers, not bureaucrats.

@pati_marins64 Trumps tweet is completely delusional & I have yet to see confirmation from any other sources that two destroyers were able to enter the Gulf. Iran is now claiming they never attacked the UAE port. I believe them well before Israel or US.
English
Today, Donald Trump paused Operation Project Freedom and, just as he did with the war, ended it without achieving any objectives.
For those looking for the answer as to why he sent two destroyers through the Strait of Hormuz, the answer is that he needed a victory speech, even if strategically it meant nothing.
Trump backed down because his Project Freedom idea was creating a permanent war, and he remained under pressure from the markets.
He then managed to get Iran to agree to give him a victory speech in exchange for dropping the talk of reopening the strait by force, at least for now.
Obviously, this is temporary and aimed at relieving the market pressure on him.
None of this removes the stigma of defeat from Trump and Netanyahu, but it buys them some time.
It is exactly at this point that Iran continues to make a mistake, collaborating to relieve this pressure in exchange for benefits, in this case, continuing to export. All behind the scenes.
On March 5, I wrote this:
“It was supposed to be 4 weeks, which turned into 8, and now they’re talking about 100 days. Observe why Israel and the US underestimated Iran and run the risk of emerging from this defeated, not by Iran, but by the global market.”
x.com/pati_marins64/…
It’s not about the Iran, but about the markets.
I would say there’s still plenty of fuel left to burn in this bonfire.
English
@jeremyscahill Yeah, that’s exactly it. I don’t know how any sentient being can be on the side of the US when we sneak attack not once, but twice while ‘negotiating’.
English
It’s always important to remember that twice in a year, the U.S. claimed to be negotiating with Iran and then launched massive military assaults just before another scheduled round of talks was to take place.
English
🚨An Iranian official told me Trump’s post is “riddled with falsehoods” and his operation to “liberate” the Hormuz Strait “failed completely.”
“We will not participate in direct negotiations until the United States formally announces the end of the blockade,” said the official.
jeremy scahill@jeremyscahill
Trump says at request of Pakistan and other nations he’s suspending so-called Project Freedom “for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement [with Iran] can be finalized and signed.” Naval blockade, he says, will remain in place.

@DanielLDavis1 @PlumKeith Thanks for putting this propagandist in his place.

It was indeed an historic mistake, but it wasn’t Iran that made the biggest: it was us.
It defies logic how so many otherwise intelligent people can continue to argue that all the problems we’re trying to solve now did not exist prior to our choice to start a war – and let’s be crystal clear on one other profoundly important point:
This was never about stopping Iran’s “march to a nuclear weapon,“ because they were never on that march. There was no nuclear weapons program, as every American administration has certified since 2003.
This was purely about wanting to dominate the region, and using the nuclear program as a convenient pretext to start a war, but when it went south, that left us trying to double down on the fraud.
James E. Thorne@DrJStrategy
For the record. Iran’s Historic Mistake Carl von Clausewitz wrote that war is “the continuation of politics by other means.” President Trump grasped this from the start: Operation Epic Fury exists to stop Iran’s nuclear march and restore deterrence, not to pursue the familiar neocon fantasy of occupation and nation-building. Epic Fury is peace through strength in action: credible force applied decisively when adversaries mistake restraint for weakness. By weaponizing the Strait of Hormuz, Iran committed a strategic blunder of historic proportions. Tehran meant to punish America. Instead, it exposed every power built on imported energy, vulnerable sea lanes, and the delusion that globalization repealed geography. China is exposed. Europe is exposed. Britain is exposed. Iran has created a world where hard resource power decides outcomes. Start with China. Beijing’s industrial machine depends on imported oil and gas moving through vulnerable maritime chokepoints, the old Malacca dilemma in modern form. A great power reliant on long, exposed sea lines cannot be secure, regardless of economic scale. The Hormuz shock forced China to scramble for alternatives, proving that size is not resilience. Europe and Britain face the same problem. After escaping Russian dependency, they traded one vulnerability for another, leaning on imported LNG and maritime flows exposed to coercion. When chokepoints tighten, they absorb shocks rather than project strength. European criticism says less about American failure than about discomfort with a world where hard power still matters. Iran’s mistake is that once Hormuz becomes structurally unreliable, the world builds around it. That means bypass corridors, revived pipeline politics, and urgent planning for routes linking Aqaba to Mediterranean outlets near Gaza and the long-stalled Basra-to-Aqaba pipeline. The old energy order is cracking. The UAE’s OPEC exit signals cartel discipline giving way to national advantage under pressure. Trump deserves credit, not European scolding. Operation Epic Fury struck thousands of targets, degraded Iran’s offensive capabilities, and shattered assumptions that the West would absorb escalation without response. The administration acted while others lectured. It restored deterrence in the only language Tehran understands. The larger lesson matters more. Secure natural-resource hard power is what the Western Hemisphere possesses in abundance. The United States, Canada, and the Americas command hydrocarbons, LNG, farmland, freshwater, critical minerals, and strategic depth on a scale import-dependent Europe and Asia cannot match. This crisis clarified, not weakened, the Americas structural position. The financial dimension reinforces the point. Demand for Federal Reserve swap lines during crisis proves King Dollar remains supreme. When stress hits, governments run toward dollar liquidity, not away from it. Hard resource power and monetary power reinforce one another, and the United States sits at the center of both. That is Epic Fury’s real significance. Clausewitz wrote that “the political view is the object, war is the means.” Trump understood that. Iran tried to weaponize geography, Trump turned the confrontation into a demonstration of who is exposed and who is not. The Trump administration deserves far more praise than it has received, and history will likely judge that Iran’s greatest miscalculation was not merely closing Hormuz, but revealing which powers still command the real sources of strength.

@DanielLDavis1 Why would Iran need nukes when they can destroy the world by closing the strait?
English
Iran did not have a nuclear weapon, Mr. Secretary, and yet you bombed them and started a war anyway – which has directly skyrocketed the price of gasoline.
Surely that irony is not lost on you? OK, surely it is: your actions have caused a dangerous escalation, not just in the price of gasoline, but in everything that goes along with that, which underpins our very way of life.
And we’re still not out of the woods. Things are almost certainly going to get a lot worse until this war finally ends, and 100% of the negative consequences that will pile up on us all – and let’s make sure everybody is aware of this now – is on the shoulders of the president and of you for making these choices.
All of who were based on fraudulent justifications, even worse than the 2003 Iraq war.

SECRETARY RUBIO: If Iran had a nuclear weapon and they decided to close the Strait and make our gas prices $9 a gallon, there would be nothing we could do about it. This is another example why Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

I have seen no persuasive evidence US destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz and are in the Persian Gulf.
That said, IF the USS Truxton is in the gulf, it will be easily recognized by its prominent broken nose.

⚓️ Greasy Pete says Iran has no control over the Strait of Hormuz. He says US destroyers are in the Persian Gulf, escorting ships out.
Iran says it is the gatekeeper of the strait, and none shall pass without their permission.
This is the status of the strait at present: empty.

Reportedly, two US Navy DDGs, the Mason and the Truxton, have sailed through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf.
x.com/Globalsurv/sta…
This raises an interesting issue of sustainability. At a 20-knot cruising speed, these Burke DDGs have about 9 days before they run dry. At 30 knots, much less, just 3 or 4 days. At their best fuel conservation speed, down around 12 knots, they could go maybe 12 days.
So the problem for them is this: they will have to run back out of the Strait of Hormuz and beyond the Gulf of Oman to safely refuel at sea. 5th Fleet HQ in Bahrain was hit hard by Iranian missiles and was abandoned, so refueling pier side there is out. Ditto to try refueling in the port of Jebel Ali in Dubai. They would risk being hit while a stationary pier side target.
So some questions arise, assuming the two ships are, as claimed, currently inside the Persian Gulf. Were they essentially permitted into a trap, with Iran not using its most dangerous anti-ship cruise missiles and drones against them, in time-on-target swarms, during the then-ongoing "quazi ceasefire?" It's an open question.
But if the kinetic war heats up again, and the ceasefire is truly over, the Truxton and Mason will have to escape from the Persian Gulf under serious missile fire, or face going to DIW status: Dead In the Water, and in the Persian Gulf.
(Incidentally, what every Navy commanding officer fears most, outside of being hit by a missile, striking a mine, or running hard aground on a reef, is, to use Navy vernacular, "going broke-dick dead in the water." Typically this happens due to an engine room or electrical snafu. But running out of fuel? That would be career ending.)
And DIW in the PG is not where any sailor wants to be in wartime. So I expect our 2 DDGs will scram back out of the PG while the quazi-ceasefire still holds.
Or will our Navy admirals consider their 2-DDG incursion into the PG a success, and attempt to reinforce it with more inbound warships? Maybe even our amphibious ships, loaded with Marines? To attack Kharg Island, say?
And if this happens, will this be on the road to ultimate U.S. victory, or to our fleet being allowed into an Iranian sea-cauldron trap?
Time will tell.

⚡️🇮🇷🇺🇸🇦🇪 CBS: Two U.S. Navy destroyers, the USS Truxtun and USS Mason, have transited the Strait of Hormuz and entered the Persian Gulf after navigating an Iranian barrage. The ships, supported by Apache helicopters and other aircraft, faced a series of coordinated threats during the passage, including small boats, missiles and drones, but neither U.S. vessel was struck.

The Iranian attack on the UAE, Oman, and in the Straight of Hormuz was done by the IRGC without the knowledge or coordination of the Iranian government. Iranian President Pezeshkian is "extremely angry" at the actions of Ahmad Vahidi, the commander of the IRGC, and has called for an urgent meeting to stop attacks on Persian Gulf countries. - Iran International
