The Islamic Republic of Iran spends billions to silence its own citizens while aggressively fueling antisemitic conspiracies abroad. The attacks on @BarakRavid are not organic, but a massive state-funded investment in hate, as documented by @ISDglobal isdglobal.org/digital-dispat….
Barak Ravid@BarakRavid
It was just a matter of time until the Antisemites come out of their filthy holes and join the campaign of lies against me. The classic tropes: Mossad, controlling the world, trying to make money. Decent people here should come out publicly against this kind of hate

Suffice it to say, Iran is still producing and exporting oil.
And while the blockade is squeezing them, they likely have several more weeks of storage before they have to restrain output.
The blockade was always slow-burn strategy.
Gregory Brew@gbrew24
Trump has clearly bought into the idea that Iran had only 13 days worth of storage when the blockade was imposed; and that on 28 April it will run out of space and will be forced to curtail output. Even if that were true (which it likely isn't), NIOC has enough experience to shut in production without a catastrophic loss of pressure.

Estonian FM @Tsahkna tells me Putin is “afraid of Ukraine” ruining his Victory Day parade and more: “Putin is afraid about this parade…for the first time after 20 he's afraid of Ukraine drone attacks, I think. And that's the reason why he is proposing this ceasefire or whatever we call it. Maybe they can hold it, but there is no strategic point to do it. So it seems that he is afraid of Ukraine. And also this is a pretty clear message that he's a weaker than than most of the world is thinking he is.”

confirms our reporting last week when we obtained the administration's letter to Congressional leadership on their interpretation of how restarting military action would restart the 60 day clock on Congressional war powers approval:

Alayna Treene@alaynatreene
Hegseth tells reporters that given the administration's determination that the ceasefire between the US & Iran remains in place, Trump does not need to seek approval from Congress for the war to continue. "Our view is... that ultimately, with the ceasefire, the clock stops. If it were to restart, that would be the president's decision," Hegseth said
