@JoshYoung I wish you did not commnet, Josh!
Your information is wrong. Go back and trace the issue daya by day. You will surprised.
English
The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed because ships transiting are being attacked by Iran.
The insurance issue is an effect of the attacks, not the cause of the closure.
Anas Alhajji@anasalhajji
I said numerous times that the Hormuz crisis is an insurance issue (and whatever is behind it). If you still do not believe it, explain why the Trump Administration is working on insuring ships in the region! Why has the Administration not pressured UK insurers to work it out? They are the experts. Now: the insurance issue is also a function of risk; risk is a function of information. If the insurer is the one who makes or controls the information, you can see who is making money!

@rasmr_eth You might be right and still lose money here. Oil should be way over 100, it's not because the rosy picture is still there. Might just end up a slow grind up next week.
English
@AllOddsmobile @araghchi Yeah because all these countries keep funding and attacking them, then they cry when they don't take it anymore.

Israel has hit 2 of Iran's largest steel factories, a power plant and civilian nuclear sites among other infrastructure. Israel claims it acted in coordination with the U.S.
Attack contradicts POTUS extended deadline for diplomacy.
Iran will exact HEAVY price for Israeli crimes

@RampCapitalLLC I looked it up and 400,000 homes have a value of 5 million or more. So so I can see it.

My brain cannot process this. Who are these people? Where are these people?!?!

@BuBarrelBull Nah the U.S dollar has the global dominance. A temporary water way is not a big deal in the decades to come.
English
Yes, Iran de facto controls the Strait. And admitting it means recognizing the end of the petrodollar system.

RUBIO: HORMUZ COULD BE OPENED TOMORROW IF IRAN ALLOWED IT
English
@AlanRMacLeod Iran just sends bombs dude. It hasn't hit many civilians yet because they are being intercepted but they sure try. Paying for terrorists groups all over.
English
US/Israeli attacks have already hit 281 medical centers and 498 Iranian schools.

Marco Rubio: "Unlike them, we're hitting military targets"

@pati_marins64 If Haaretz had reported “80% of missiles are hitting,” it would:
be picked up instantly by global media
trigger major geopolitical reactions
English
@pati_marins64 Destroyed or damaged more than 10 radars”
This is unverified.
Radar systems are:
redundant
mobile
layered
Even if some were hit, losing “10 radars” wouldn’t automatically collapse defenses the way the post implies.
English
It isn't.
It's the oldest game on Wall Street.
If markets go up:
'We told you to stay invested. You're welcome.'
If markets go down:
'Nobody could have predicted the escalation.'
Banks don't get paid when you move to cash.
They get paid when you stay invested.
Read every 'keep buying' call with that business model in mind.

BARCLAYS: KEEP BUYING DESPITE MARKET FEARS
Stocks have struggled this month, with the S&P 500 down 4.2% amid the U.S.-Iran war, rising oil prices, and persistent inflation. But Barclays says investors should stay invested.
Strategist Ajay Rajadhyaksha argues fundamentals remain stronger than sentiment suggests, pointing to solid U.S. earnings and ongoing investment cycles.
Markets appear to expect a short-lived conflict, with bonds and other assets pricing in a temporary inflation shock rather than prolonged disruption. Oil prices have risen, but not dramatically over the long term.
Despite volatility, the S&P 500 is still within 6% of its record high, and market stress indicators have eased. Bottom line: uncertainty is high, but Barclays says it’s a “wall of worry” investors should keep climbing.

@Thilorian @catalinamike47 @Timesofiraan To be fair though the been killing their nuclear scientist to slow it down.
English
@catalinamike47 @Timesofiraan Do you understand the threat was made up you fucking idiot? Bibi was warning the US since 1996 that Iran was days, weeks, months away. For thirty years. You cannot possibly be this naive.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Trump’s own Senator gave him a brutal reality check
Trump — We need $2 billion a day to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
US Senator — But the SOH was already open before the war? So what was the point of the whole war?
“You have created a global crisis out of nothing.” 🔥🔥🔥

Iran: “You struck our hospitals, we did not do the same. You struck our emergency centers, we did not do the same. You struck our schools, we did not do the same. But if you strike electricity, we will strike electricity.”

@Seve_the_Dog @GuyAdami Many people went to jail what are u talking about there was no lie, they admitted it.
English
@GuyAdami Why did you stop before the part where he prosecuted people on a known lie for political purposes?
English
It's funny how just a few months ago, the unmistakable impression was that Israel/US knew everything that was going on inside Iran. Enough to make the Iranian leadership incredibly paranoid.
I guess the paranoia was productive, as the US govt now appears utterly baffled.

@I_am_SSalman @mohRiz18 @FurkanGozukara @grok I don't understand most of their leaders are dead? Is that the scenario? What have they done but just get hit? It's been just 2 weeks and over 2000 missiles hit them. Good job i guess?
English
@mohRiz18 @FurkanGozukara @grok Yeah. They literally thought of every scenario.
For decades just silently getting ready for this day.
Like a movie about some far off civilization preparing for an epic battle
English
Hey @grok how much percentage of Iran's total Power is provided by the Iran's largest power plant?
Is their grid decentralized?
What is the case for Israel?
Who would lose big if Iran retaliates?
English
@mohRiz18 @FurkanGozukara @grok How are they the smartest nation if 30 of the leaders died in the first 2 weeks? Iran has not done much but take the brunt for 2 weeks. The u.s. just sent 3% of their force there so far.
English
Iran is the smartest nation I have ever seen on Earth! Brilliant—and thank you @FurkanGozukara for clarifying the matter. So for Iran, it will not be a big damage! But Israel! The bravery of Iranian scientists! That Donald idiot cannot defeat Iran, which has the richest civilization on Earth of more than 5000+ years! And it’s obvious he will fail in this attempt as well.
English
@brett_mcgurk @RobertShermanTV You are bombing schools of little girls and hospitals. Iran has a right to defend itself
English
Speaks for itself:
Feb. 25, 2026: “We are not developing long-range missiles… we have limited the range below 2,000 kilometers” — Iran’s FM Araghchi (IRNA).
March 20, 2026: Iran fires missiles at Diego Garcia—ranging 4,000 kilometers (WSJ). ⬇️

The method was used by Stalin. If there was more than 1% probability of a person being hostile, Stalin eliminated him.

🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️– Ali Alizadeh on the assassination of Ali Larijani: “Israel is selling these attacks as form of artificially intelligent oriented smart wars. The way they assassinated Ali Larijani, it had nothing to do with smart wars. In order to detect where he is, they come up with six or seven places and they bomb all of them in a blind way. In order to assassinate Ali Larijani, Israeli terrorist regime killed more than 500 people. And that’s what they call a smart wars.” Footage: Danny Haiphong

@FurkanGozukara This is so dumb. You can just fly people in. What mountains when you have full air control? But either way the war is to not conquer the thing.
English
@andreas_krieg Who says regime change cant be achieved? There are ways. Obviously trying the easy ways first.
English
If you know regime change cannot be achieved, why would you escalate further by expanding targets to Iran's hydrocarbon infrastructure?
The burden of this idiotic spiral of escalation will be borne by the Gulf - likely Qatar in this instance as America's main mediator
Martin Kelly@_MartinKelly_
Local source reporting indicates that airstrikes hit the South Pars gas field and related infrastructure, with nearby oil and petrochemical facilities in Asaluyeh also targeted in Bushehr province. Anticipate reciprocal action in Qatar (Ras Laffan, North Fields, Dolphin Pipeline Terminal); UAE (Das Island Facility, Habshan Complex, Fujairah), KSA (Jubail, Yanbu), Oman (Qalhat, Duqm). Residual risk remains at ALL oil terminals
