Update:
China is being starved of oil.
The Iranian regime's economy is being crushed.
The Strait of Hormuz being closed is a tactic benefiting the United States militarily and through energy exports.
The Gulf of America is a global destination for energy.
The U.S. Navy blockade is working.
Donroe Doctrine completion with Cuba is loading.
New Indonesia partnership to counter China also in the works.
UAE and Saudi Arabia are cheering us (and Israel) on.

Hundreds of tankers from all over the world are heading to the Gulf of America for oil. The Hormuz Straight will be cleared of mines and danger by the United States of America. The Iranian Regime’s pursuit of a nuclear weapon will end. The Uranium in Iran will be secured. The Middle East will move toward a lasting peace. The world order will be changed for the better. We will win. 🇺🇸

@MelissaAFrancis @MPPregent The Iranians trying to use shady tactics? Wouldn’t have guessed that one
English
🚨BREAKING 🚨
The U.S. naval blockade has officially resulted in the interception of at least two tankers attempting to transport Iranian oil to China. The vessels, Rich Starry and Ostria, were intercepted while flying 'false flags' of landlocked nations—Botswana and Malawi, respectively.

@adamhousley The richest have nowhere near that kind of liquidity without selling assets. Would be almost as damaging as the trillions in fraud we have built into the debt. She’s so stupid
English
How about controlling spending first?
Elizabeth Warren@ewarren
A wealth tax on the top .15% of the richest families would generate $6.2 trillion in revenue. That could pay for: Universal childcare Millions of new homes Slashing child poverty Medicare for people aged 55+ Universal paid family leave Tuition-free community college And more.

@DanMKervick @WilliamT4479 Hey Dan. Do you really believe they were sticking to any agreement to not enrich to nuclear bomb grade? If so, I have a bridge you need to buy.
English
@WilliamT4479 They don’t have a nuclear bomb. There was a treaty to make sure they will never have a nuclear bomb and your guy tore it up. The bomb is just a pretext. That’s not why the US and Israel want to take over Iran.
English
Iran is allowed to enrich uranium under international law.
Iran is allowed to have a peaceful nuclear energy program under international law.
The United States is a dangerous outlaw nation running an outlaw regime.
Other nations have a duty to enforce international law.

DEVELOPING: Tomorrow I'm told almost 400 pages of long-secret documents newly declassified by DNI Tulsi Gabbard will be released that will reveal evidence of an Intelligence Community conspiracy to dirty-up President Trump ... developing ...

@bob2230 @CarlHigbie Like the rest of the world paying cheaper drug prices than us huh? And how about windfall profits? Does say a thing about meta, apple, Nvidia and the like who have way higher net margins. This guy is a fraud
English
@CarlHigbie No problem with profits. Big problem with taxpayers subsidizing those already making big profits by selling our oil overseas while we pay more at the pump. That stinks.
English
But not a word about how almost 50% of that price is state and local taxes…🤡
Rep. Ro Khanna@RepRoKhanna
Trump's immoral and reckless war in Iran has shot up gas prices in my district to nearly $6 a gallon. Stop the war, stop exporting our crude oil, and pass my windfall profits tax on Big Oil to give Americans a rebate for their gas bills.
English
@MBAeconomics1 I didn't know we offered to pay $10 a gallon. Boy the things you learn on X
English
@chrismartenson @manonafast Do you believe oil is a fossil fuel? Cuz its not from rotting dinosaurs and vegitation.
English
@manonafast I'll take the proportion of Tier I acreage drilled, reservoir pressure, and the gas bubble point for whatever's left, Alex.
English
FACT CHECK: There are 6% fewer drill rigs (O&G) operating today than there were on Biden's last day in office.
U.S. Department of Energy@ENERGY
Wake up, America is drilling like never before thanks to President Trump.
English
@FPVaughanIII 47 years of Iranian international terrorist bullshit with the nuclear weapon close at hand and demolishing all of it now will free up generations to to live in peace. Worth it I'd say.
English
Tankers lining up to buy oil from America is definitely great for American oil companies, and perhaps bumps revenue for the U.S. government a bit.
But oil is priced globally, hence the American consumer is getting bagged hard at the pumps.
How is this a win for the people?
English
Blockading Iran will not compel its surrender.
After enduring 6 weeks of war, Iran’s leaders won’t suddenly decide, “Oh, we can’t use our ports now. We better meet U.S. demands.”
Trump can’t escalate the U.S. out of this mess. The war failed — now it’s time to cut losses.
@defpriorities

@NickKristof Its either give up the goods or we'll get rid of them for you. 47 years is because of guys like you.
English
It's hard to believe that Trump was so detached from reality to think that these were realistic red lines--but then again the whole war shows his detachment from reality. Trump might as well have asked Iran to throw in a pony.
Barak Ravid@BarakRavid
A U.S. official details the U.S. "red lines" in the talks with Iran: ☢️Ending all uranium enrichment ☢️Dismantle all major nuclear enrichment facilities (which are mostly destroyed) ☢️Retrieve highly enriched uranium 📄Accept a broader peace, security and de-escalation framework that includes regional allies 💰End funding for terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis 🚢Fully open the Strait of Hormuz, charging no tolls for passage 💰One gap in the talks was the amount of Iranian frozen funds that will be released, per source with knowledge

@TomHarpointner @mccaffreyr3 I’m not him, but Iran was following the rules in the treaty they had with Obama. Inspectors were on the ground making sure. Trump ripped it up. He hates Obama & Netanyahu has him by the balls.
He should have listened to his Generals. The ramifications were known. He ignored.
English
Trump blockades all shipping from the Persian Gulf stopping our Gulf allies from exporting oil, LNG, fertilizer, and general cargo imports. This creates a catastrophe for our allies and a calamity for global economy. Trump sees this as clever.

@adamhousley Carl has had a few too many margaritas. He’s got a bad case of tds

Is he on the Newsom payroll? What a crap take. Data shows this is overwhelmingly in spite of Newsom’s policies, not because of them. The growth is heavily concentrated in tech, which is 37% of California’s real GDP and only 21% of jobs. Without tech, the rest of California’s economy has grown far slower than the U.S. average.
Carl Quintanilla@carlquintanilla
“Of all the prevailing media narratives around Gavin Newsom, the one that is most conspicuous by its absence is how under its two-term governor California became the top performing economy not just among its 49 siblings but also any developed nation.” bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

@martydamus @TheFungi669 Captain Obvious obviously has his head up his ass
English
@TheFungi669 You would think Captain Obvious would obviously know Iran repeatedly violated that treaty. 🤔
English
JD Vance: “The war in Iran will not end until we have a nuclear treaty.”
Me: “We had a nuclear treaty and Trump tore it up because Obama signed it.”

@unseen1_unseen For her next trick she will reveal that she’s a he.

Finally, she tells the truth.

Marjorie Taylor Green said she is joining the Democrat party. 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴😂

Iran isn’t giving Trump an off-ramp.
He must choose between escalation and humiliation.
English
@Angry_Staffer Sr Iranian source? Ha. A month ago he was cleaning toilets in the palace somewhere. They have no SR sources left.
English
We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war.
Art of the deal, baby.
Jennifer Jacobs@JenniferJJacobs
"A senior Iranian source said on Saturday the U.S. had agreed to release Iranian frozen assets held in Qatar and other foreign banks, welcoming the move as a sign of 'seriousness' in reaching a deal with Washington in talks in Islamabad. The source, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter, told Reuters that unfreezing the assets was 'directly linked to ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz,' which is expected to be a key issue in the talks." reuters.com/business/finan…
