All opinions are your employer's. I said what they said.

Trump continues to escalate against Iran. Today, three more Iranian oil tankers were hit, very close to the Iranian port of Bandar, practically in front of an IRGC Navy base. President Trump continues to escalate, apparently trying to force an Iranian reaction that Iran seems to be avoiding at all costs. The objectives are to reduce Iran’s floating storage capacity and to impose the presence of the US Navy in the Strait, with consequences I have already commented on in recent days. Israel is advocating for resuming attacks and focusing on Iranian energy infrastructure, exactly what Iran is trying to avoid. Israel does not appear concerned about Iranian retaliation against its own energy infrastructure. Nothing better than having a rich sponsor to foot the bill.





NASA's FIRMS is picking up multiple fires in the Strait of Hormuz after tonight's naval battle between the US and Iran.





🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 BREAKING: Two U.S. Navy destroyers just faced a second, fiercer Iranian assault transiting Hormuz today Per CBS News citing U.S. officials, the USS Truxtun and USS Mason came under an intense and sustained Iranian assault during today's transit. The attack was significantly more aggressive than the barrage the same warships faced earlier this week. Iranian fast-attack boats swarmed close enough that American warships opened fire to keep them at bay. Iranian forces simultaneously launched drones and missiles during the confrontation. The engagement lasted several hours. American warships and supporting aircraft mounted a layered defense. Neither U.S. vessel was struck. The CENTCOM statement described the response as "self-defense strikes" on Iranian missile launch sites, command and control locations, and ISR nodes. That now reads as the explanation for the U.S. response to today's attack, not a separate provocation. The sequence is: Iran attacks American destroyers transiting Hormuz, U.S. defends and retaliates against the launch infrastructure that enabled the attack. Source: CBS News
