Smart military types I’ve talked to are all confident that the US can dominate Iran. After they pound their chests I ask “Yes, but how long will that take? How does this not turn into Afghanistan?”…that’s when they pause and respond “I don’t know”…and therein lies the rub. #OOTT #IranWar

قالها @anasalhajji من بداية الأزمة!

The GCC countries will work hard to restore normalcy once these wars finally end. I say "wars" deliberately — because this conflict is multi-layered: the actual military war, the intense propaganda battles from all sides, and the endless social media frenzy where accounts chase clicks with outrageous fake news.

Just days before Operation Epic Fury, Iran's Grand Ayatollah Abdollah Javadi Amoli issued a jihad fatwa saying: “Shedding the blood of Trump is obligatory.” How exactly is Iran not an American issue?

@RudyGiuliani 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wars must be fought to protect freedom and democracy,. Isolationism is foolish when deadly threats exist worldwide. Those who advocate for it are living in a fantasy world. #WorldPolitics #Freedom

@CpmObia @RpsAgainstTrump His results are always in doubt so they keep sending him for the same tests

@RpsAgainstTrump It’s nothing to brag about!

Trump: "I'm the only president that ever took a cognitive test. I took it 3 times. It's actually a very hard test for a lot of people. It wasn't hard for me.”

Oil markets are beginning to fade the Trump bullshit. Trump can still move the market—but less, and for less time, writes @Rory_Johnston His narrative has run out of reality #Oil #Markets #Trump #Jawboning #Geopolitics #OOTT #EnergyCrisis

@GreenblattJD Iran can burn the entire energy complex in the ME down and take the global economy down with it regardless of how serious or otherwise Trump is- Only diplomacy will resolve this.

Reckless of the Iranian regime. And the regime is completely misreading the moment. The Iranian regime still hasn’t grasped how serious President Trump is and that ignorance is pushing them toward a very real breaking point.

We never knew how good we had it 🙏🏻

@MarioNawfal All US options end with this Iranian response- Iran retaliates against every Gulf energy facility within missile range. ‘When you have a bug on your testicles, you don’t smash it with a sledgehammer otherwise you may end up with more than a loud yell ’. US needs to eat humble pie

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump has no good options left and his team knows it... The Pentagon drew up ground scenarios for seizing Kharg Island, extracting uranium from bombed-out nuclear sites, and taking islands near Hormuz. Every single option requires boots on the ground and none of them guarantee the war ends even if they succeed. Seize Kharg and Iran retaliates against every Gulf energy facility within missile range. Send commandos after uranium and you're running the most complex special operation in military history inside a country you've been bombing for a month. Take the islands and Marines sit under constant drone and missile fire hoping Iran surrenders before the body count becomes politically unsurvivable. GOP senators are already signaling they'd oppose troop deployments. The public barely supports the air campaign. And Iran has spent weeks fortifying Kharg with traps and repositioned weapons specifically for this scenario. Source: CNN

Good morning from Dubai. It’s the 28th day of the war. #OOTT

🚗 DRIVE TO ZERO 🚗 Chelsea Meza says her life is divided into 2 parts – before June 1, 2020 & after. That was the day her husband Cory died, 3 days after he was struck by a car. Cory was cycling home from work across Macleod Trail, S.W., when he was hit by a driver later convicted of making an unsafe turn under the Traffic Safety Act. 💬 “That was the beginning of the worst chapter of my life. I suddenly went from being a happily married 20-something, planning to buy a house, to a grieving widow, planning a funeral. I lost my partner, my sounding board & my best friend in an instant. Cory was just trying to come home from work. Everyone should have the right to do that safely.” — Chelsea. As we enter the next phase of our Drive to Zero campaign, the CPS & The @CityOfCalgary are reminding Calgarians that traffic safety is everyone’s responsibility. 📈 So far in 2026, there have been 5,164 traffic collisions. 8 people have been killed, including 3 pedestrians. 💬 “These deaths were preventable. We are urging drivers to obey all traffic signs & signals & stay focused on their surroundings while on the road.” — Staff Sgt. Andy Woodward of the CPS Traffic Unit. 📺 This week, we released the final Drive to Zero video, telling the story of one preventable tragedy from multiple perspectives. In September 2025, the CPS & The City of Calgary launched the Join the Drive to Zero campaign, consisting of a 3-part video series rolled out over the next year, telling the story of one preventable tragedy from multiple perspectives. Our goal is to tell the story of the ripple effect caused by a single tragic incident, ultimately leading to a positive change in driving behaviour to save lives. 🔗 To learn more about how you can help ensure safer mobility in Calgary, visit: calgary.ca/roads/safety/v…

With Brent crude around $109, following the decision to release 400 million barrels from the SPR, along with waivers for Russian, Iranian, and Venezuelan oil entering the market, the path is clear: The longer the war drags on, the higher prices will go—until a recession eventually stops them. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Trump’s cabinet meeting this morning

💠The ongoing crisis in the Middle East and its ripple effects on global energy flows serve as a stark reminder of how deeply interconnected our energy systems are — and just how vital reliable, uninterrupted energy supplies are to global stability and progress. 💠This video powerfully illustrates the scale of the challenge and the urgent need for greater system-level resilience in energy. This will be a central focus at #ADIPEC 2026, taking place in Abu Dhabi this November. #ADNOC #EnergySystems #Resilience 👇👇👇
