@FPWellman @SecScottBessent @Shayan86 So basically this was all just another money grab by the Felon and his corrupt administration. He did the exact thing in Venezuela, tanker stuck now it’s ours and corruptly funneled money to off shore accounts. Coincidence - not likely. Drain the swamp YOU are the swamp. 🙄

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent
Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability. Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury. This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system. So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.

This is wild. The @WhiteHouse plagiarized its reason for launching a war on Iran from @FDD, a cutout of Israeli intelligence. Side-by-side screenshots in the 🧵

The most definitive White House statement purporting to justify the Israel-US war on Iran was its March 2, 2026 statement entitled "The Iranian Regime's Decades of Terrorism against American Citizens". whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/… After a brief editorial opening, the article lists 44 incidents with a total of 992 US deaths. The source of the data wasn't given. Where did it come from? Unlike the Iraq war or the Russia collusion allegation, the reporting didn't come from an intelligence assessment, flawed or otherwise. It turns out that the list was plagiarized by the White House from a June 19, 2025 list (fdd.org/analysis/2025/…) prepared by a former AIPAC employee (Tzvi Kahn) for a think tank (FDD) founded "to provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America". The think tank's original identity was "EMET (Hebrew for 'truth')". The June 19, 2025 publication was literally on the eve of the first US bombing of Iran on June 21, 2025. In this thread, I'll compare each and every item in the White House statement to the corresponding item in the original list by the former AIPAC employee. The list is virtually identical. Any slight changes are always in the change of ratcheting up the underlying allegation.

CNN has been experimenting with new formats this week, including Anderson in rolled-up sleeves, massive desk microphones, and a physical map, channeling early Edward R. Murrow-era broadcast.... Experiment will continue today with Jake Tapper broadcasting from his office.

The resources that Trump suggests will re-open the Strait are weeks away. Meanwhile there is a massive disconnect between physical oil prices in the Middle East ($180/barrel) and US prices ($90-100/barrel) due to petroleum reserve releases. That runs out next week. If that happens, and the Strait is not stabilized, then the regional supply shock pricing we see in the Middle East will start to cascade more broadly.
Javier Blas@JavierBlas

Assuming the USS Boxer is heading to the Middle East, and considering that she only left San Diego two days ago, she won't be near the Persian Gulf until mid-April. If the reinforcements are intended to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, then the oil market faces a very long wait.

At the height of the Gilded Age in 1910, the wealthiest 0.00001% of Americans held assets equal to 4% of the nation’s income. Today, that same ultra-elite group controls 12%.

@CharlotteAlter @daveweigel Sounds like how Mentats develop their skills after the Butlerian Jihad in Dune. Frank Herbert was 100 years ahead off his time.

Russia's main TV channel is airing songs about how great life is without the internet. Getting even closer to North Korea.

The phlebotomist yesterday was making small talk with me, and I said “it’s been unusually cold this week”. And she goes “yeah I asked ChatGPT when it’s going to start warming up and he said late March, so we’re almost there. I believe in chat”. And I asked her why she didn’t just check the weather app. And she just laughed. Like you have no idea how many people are just casually using AI for the most ridiculous things that they’ve neverrrrr needed to use AI for in the past. 🥴
