Iran may move to control undersea internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz, forcing foreign firms to seek permits, pay fees, and follow Iranian rules. The cables handle nearly 15–20% of global internet and financial data traffic linking Europe, the Gulf, and Asia.

@BorsatradeTRR @sentdefender Thanks bot

@sentdefender This is the kind of escalation that gets described clinically right until insurance markets start panicking.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that U.S. forces disabled an Iranian-flagged crude oil tanker, the motor tanker Hasna, as it attempted to breach the blockade and proceed to an Iranian port. Following repeated warnings issued to the Hasna by U.S. forces, a U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" launched from the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and utilized its 20mm gun to disable the ship's rudder.

@unusual_whales This is the only way to stop AI

Nearly half of the US data centers planned for 2026 are facing delays or cancellations, per Reuters

@kryptosopus @spectatorindex Or there is no deal

@spectatorindex Vance out here announcing the deal and oil already dumped 7% like bro the market front ran you by 48 hours lmao

US Vice President JD Vance says if Iran commits to not have a nuclear weapon, 'we are going to make Iran economically thrive'.

@spectatorindex That’s Iran’s only leverage, don’t see it happening

@WhiteHistoryX @Grob2point0 @spectatorindex The strait is roughly the size of Lake Erie, give me a break

@Grob2point0 @spectatorindex You can't blockade the strait because they'll just sink your ships.sorry you're president is a moron

BREAKING: Trump shares article suggesting he has the option of enforcing a naval blockade on Iran

@ijvadasz @spectatorindex Yep looks like a total Iranian victory 🥴

@circuitisdead @spectatorindex they're the ones asking for the ceasefire you damn illiterate lol why would that be? one charred pile of US aircraft after it attacked a school, and America's number two is on a plane to Islamabad while yankee destroyers are pulling u-turns in the Gulf read something

@M_J97_O @spectatorindex You might want to switch to decaf

@circuitisdead @spectatorindex Iranian soldiers aren't your average Afghan or Iraqi farmer you retarded cunt they're trained fighters, which should worry you more considering your grandaddy's got there asses torn out by Vietnamese whose choice of footwear was flip flops.

@peteri0330 @spectatorindex The war is already over, relax

@circuitisdead @spectatorindex 😂 - major, I guess you’re volunteering to go out in 115 degrees heat and fight

@corruptentities @spectatorindex It doesn’t appear so

@spectatorindex Doesn’t Trump through Congress, have to declare a war on Iran in order to legally do this?

@BlackGokux100 @ajowi @spectatorindex samharris.substack.com/p/islam-israel…

@circuitisdead @ajowi @spectatorindex Why dont you go a bit further back in history and realize we screwed Iran in 1953 by killing their democratic elected prime Minister for nationalizing THEIR oil. Or when the US provided chemical weapons to Saddam Hussein in the Iraq-Iran War? Should they say hooray for the USA?

@ajowi @spectatorindex How does Iran shouting death to America for 40 years and then slaughtering 1200 innocent civilian Israelis in cold blood, women and children, work into that rose colored worldview?

@circuitisdead @spectatorindex This hubris is what gets you into these messes in the first place. Tone it down, big boy. We are all human and the planet is just a shared living space.

@LM080910 @spectatorindex They don’t?

@spectatorindex I mean he’s a retard but his advisors are retard too? How long before these idiot admin realizes that threats don’t work on Iran.

@GuntherEagleman Hittem with the discombobulator and throw them in the paddy wagon!

🚨 NOW: Navy Yard teen takeover dispersal in Washington DC. Police and authorities are actively dispersing a large gathering of teens in the Navy Yard area (one of DC’s upscale waterfront neighborhoods).

@Microinteracti1 Bullshit, the strait will be open in a few days max

Trump says the US has begun clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz. Here’s the problem. The four dedicated US Navy minesweepers stationed in Bahrain were decommissioned in September 2025 and physically removed from the region in January 2026, seven weeks before Operation Epic Fury began. Their replacements, three Littoral Combat Ships, are currently in Southeast Asia. The sensors on those ships struggle to detect mines in clear California coastal water. The Strait of Hormuz is turbid. Pre-mission calibration alone takes six hours per sortie. A single equipment failure, tow hook, crane, data link, grounds the entire system. The allies who actually know how to do this job, Poland, France, the UK, Germany, all said no. Experts say even under ideal conditions, clearing a viable shipping lane takes until late summer at the earliest. Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1 So what exactly is Trump “beginning”?

@nicholaicalder @Aviation_Intel Why send humans if you have remote controls? Ejection seats need to be obsoleted

@Aviation_Intel Why send f15s if you have f35

ACES II ejection seat is what? 9 for 9 in this conflict? Everyone literally walked away. Pretty incredible.

@FarrahHaidar @RadioFreeTom And be the next president :)

@RadioFreeTom Rubio resign… 😂😂😂😂😂 Rubio will execute that command and enjoy doing it.

Trump is threatening genocide, and implying the use of nuclear weapons. If he gives anything like this order, Rubio should resign and senior military commanders should resign rather than carry it out. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

Exactly. Iran has a religious-based death wish that overrides common sense, which is not normal in negotiations of this type. I don’t see this ending any other way but unconditional surrender after critical infrastructure is leveled. It doesn’t have to be this way, but Iran is not playing a logical game.

@leventkemaI @Faytuks News flash. It’s always been in the US’s court. 😂

According to Iranian sources, “the ball is in the US’s court.” Iranian officials say that, following revisions to the initial draft, mediators have conveyed Iran’s proposal to the US and that the decision now rests with Trump. They also state that a reasonable and compromise-ready text has been submitted to the mediators. The US response is now awaited.
