🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump just told the world what this war is really about Forget the nuclear weapons rhetoric. Forget regime change. Forget freedom for the Iranian people. In one short interview, Trump stripped it all back to the raw truth: the Strait of Hormuz. He's threatening NATO, pressuring China, scolding Britain, and dangling a delayed Xi summit, all over one waterway. Because whoever controls Hormuz controls the energy supply that keeps the global economy breathing. The irony is devastating. Trump started a war partly to secure American leverage over this chokepoint. Instead, Iran closed it, and now he's begging the very countries he's spent years antagonizing to help him pry it open. "They've got nothing left but to make a little trouble in the Strait." That "little trouble" has oil at $106 and the whole world scrambling right now...

BREAKING: President Trump plans to announce that multiple countries have agreed to form a coalition that will escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, per WSJ. 1 hour until futures open.

Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Razin Caine on the working of the U.S. Navy... "Today, I want to highlight a few groups of sailors. First, I want to thank the men and women of the Ford Carrier Strike Group and their families, and let all of them know how grateful I am for their leadership and service. The crews on board this strike group have already been -- endured months at sea, only to get their deployment extended. These exceptional Americans rogered up, all supported by their families, continue to stand the watch, taking the fight to the enemy over and over again, night after night. Aboard ships like the USS Ford and the Abraham Lincoln are a special group of sailors I want to highlight today. These are the men and women, the sailors up on the roof, running operations on the flight deck with an average age of the early 20s. These are the unsung heroes of naval aviation. These young sailors, known for wearing yellow shirts, are in charge of the catapults, taxiing jets around on the flight deck, shooting jets off the front end, and recovering jets off the back end. They are literally involved with every single movement on the -- on the roof on an aircraft carrier. They are the last ones that a naval aviator sees before getting shot off the front end, and the first one that a naval aviator sees after safely strapping on the back end. And just for a minute, imagine you're standing on that aircraft carrier flight deck. There's 30 knots of wind in your face. The deck is slippery, covered in grease. It's noisy. There are propellers spinning. There's jet blast everywhere. The helicopters are running, your head is on a swivel, and you're trying to direct a multimillion-dollar fighter into a one-foot square box, so that those naval aviators can be shot off into the black of night to go do America's work. Those jets are fully loaded with missiles and bombs, and they are a world-class team, combined with the naval aviation and the aviators in those jets." "This beautiful symphony of American spirit is the definition of perfectly organized chaos. And these crews do it every single time the carrier is at work. Oh, by the way, in the middle of the night and oftentimes in the pouring rain. These are dedicated young people who take the road less traveled to serve their great nation, doing the deeds that we need them to do. America's enlisted force is the pride of every nation's military, certainly ours, and the envy of every other one as well. Each and every one of them out there across the joint force are extraordinary." And in particular, today I want to highlight the yellow shirts."
