🇺🇸 Donald Trump on Iran’s strikes against U.S. allies in the Gulf: 🗣️ “They weren't supposed to go after all these other countries in the Middle East.” 🗣️ “So they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait.” 🗣️ “Nobody expected that. We were shocked.” 🗣️ “Iran is a nation of tremendous power.”

@lalshareef The UAE is the capital of Zionism. Iran is teaching a good lesson.

When the Mullah regime falls, I’m positive that flights between Tehran and Abu Dhabi will be non-stop. The next generation will grow together in peace and prosperity. I can’t wait to visit and celebrate with the people of Iran soon. God bless the descendants of Cyrus ♥️

@MarioNawfal @grok when it will reach?

🇺🇸 U.S. approved $15.2B in arms to UAE, Kuwait & Jordan. - UAE: $7.24B (F-16 upgrades + $4.5B THAAD). - Kuwait: $8B (LTAMDS radars). - Jordan: $70M (F-16/C-130 support). This is a rapid air-defense buildup to counter Iran’s drones/missiles, protecting oil hubs & tanker routes. Deterrence plays: make attacks costlier for Tehran, stabilize energy prices.

Tragedy in Haifa: A pedestrian was killed in a hit-and-run accident during an air-raid siren in the city.

@sidhant Chinese Yuan could guarantee that. Call China instead of the Gulf.

We stand for safe and free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, PM Modi tells Qatari Amir

Trump: “We are winning” - F-35 hit for the first time ever - Aircraft Carrier retreating for ‘repairs’ - American bases under constant attack - Oil over $100 - Allies rejecting calls for help - Iran controls 20% of Oil flow - 13 dead Americans, 200+ injured

🚨 INDIA’S OIL SHOCK — $146/bbl 🚨 On Mar 18, India’s crude basket spiked to $146.39/bbl — its real cost, not Brent. 💡 Weighted average across ~40 suppliers: Russia, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, UAE… 📉 February avg: $69/bbl → Now: $146 Not a rise. A shockwave. 🌊 The culprit: Strait of Hormuz disruptions ~20% of global oil flows through this chokepoint. Middle East crude to Asia delayed → tankers stuck, insurance premiums soar, supply tightens overnight. 🌍 Brent reflects Atlantic markets — US, North Sea, strategic reserves. India imports ~85% of its oil from the region. ⚠️ Even Russia’s usual discounts can’t cushion this. Logistics tighten. Safety nets shrink. 💥 While the world sees ~$110 oil, India faces $146 reality. Same market. Completely different impact. 📌 Bottom line: ⚡ Supply chain stress ⚡ Inflation pressure ⚡ Energy security risk This isn’t just an oil spike — it’s a regional energy crisis, and India is on the front line.

🚨QatarEnergy CEO: Iranian missiles wiped out 17% of Qatar LNG capacity repairs up to 5 yrs.

The spokesperson of the Central Khatem-al-Anbia Headquarters: The strong and firm fist of our martyred leader is our resistance flag. 🔹The criminal enemies thought that with assassination and martyrdom, they could shake the faith of a nation; but know that when you target each hero in a cowardly manner due to your weakness, it rises higher in the hearts of these people, especially in this land where blood and faith flow through its veins. 🔹Our cry conveys the message that this nation is invincible. Iran has turned its wounds into honors and, as always, stands proud and steadfast today. 🔹The blood of martyrs guarantees passing through turmoil. We tell the enemy, you targeted the pure body of our martyred leader, but you made his spirit and ideals thousands of times more alive in the hearts of the people. The owners of dirty hands should know that we are steadfast in our ideals. 🔹You still do not understand that the ideals of those trained in the Ashura school do not disappear with martyrdom, but become more alive. We said before, martyrdom for us is not the end, but the beginning of the path to dignity. The outcome of the battle between right and wrong is only the victory of right. 🔹We stand firm with determination and resolve for the blood of each and every one of our martyrs.

@narendramodi Please speak with China first and get some Yuan to get tankers passed from the Strait of Hormuz. That is the last option.
