❌ No policy solutions to prolonged closure of Strait of Hormuz - former White House energy adviser Military escorts for oil tankers and a strategic stock release by the US government "are just a sideshow," says energy expert Bob McNally. The only way to stabilize energy markets is to normalize the flow through the Strait of Hormuz. However, even if Trump declares an end to the war, there is no guarantee that Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, McNally adds. 👍 US-Israel-Iran war | @geopolitics_prime 1 Like |

Icktioaxen:No wonder this place is very dry. The propaganda is loud and deafening. All US bases in the region has been hit and broken up. Iranian missiles are falling freely across Israel as such that the government now arrests citizens that post videos of impacts Much of Tel Aviv now looks like Gaza in real time. Why? Because the interception rate is so poor. In some instances, 5-10 interceptors fails to stop one Iranian incoming missile. But, this propagandist is yapping about 98% interception rate.

🚫 Iran's IRGC claims it recently destroyed several U.S. fighter jets based in the region using missiles and drones. LIE. ✅ No U.S. fighter jets have been struck by Iran. In fact, U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps fighter aircraft continue to demonstrate unmatched lethality and air superiority during strike waves into Iran. TRUTH. - CENTCOM 1 Like

U.S. intelligence warned Trump before the attack on Iran that retaliation against American allies in the Gulf was a likely outcome, even if not certain. Despite this, Trump later said he was surprised when Iran struck countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Source: Reuters 1 Like |

[b]CONFIRMED: ALI LARIJANI ELIMINATED IN TARGETED STRIKE Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz: Full statement translated: “The head of the Iranian government and I congratulate the Air Force for acting with determination and for hitting the head of the snake in Iran -- and I thank the Chief of Staff and the entire IDF for the successful operation. President Trump of the United States spoke about it last night in a major address. When you act with strength, vision, and courage -- you bring achievements that no one thought possible. The operation was carried out following a recommendation by the IDF Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister and to me, after a situation assessment, in order to strike the central ideological and operational arm of Iran -- which has led terror against the State of Israel for many years. The IDF will continue to operate with intensity against regime targets and terror infrastructures in every place. This is a significant achievement for Israel’s security and sends a clear message to our enemies: whoever acts against us will pay the price. We will continue to act with determination until all objectives are achieved.” [/b]

A large gas field in the United Arab Emirates was set ablaze after a drone strike and a vital oil port was halted again, piling pressure on energy markets and supply with each day that the Iran war goes on. The latest incidents in the UAE add to a fast-growing list of attacks on energy assets in the Middle East. Some of the largest refineries and a massive LNG export plant have halted following drone strikes, ports around the region have been hit and oil fields in Saudi Arabia targeted. The intensifying strikes by Iran are reverberating through markets and economies worldwide, with consumers from the Americas to India and Japan feeling the pinch. The near shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz has helped drive crude oil prices to above $100 a barrel and risk to the global economy from rising inflation is mounting. The UAE’s key port of Fujairah suspended loadings again on Tuesday after some operations resumed briefly the previous day

👀 🤥💥Trump to trigger Armageddon? US soldiers in the field are filing legal complaints, stating that their commanders believe Donald Trump was anointed by Jesus to light a signal fire in Iran and trigger Armageddon. Journalist Steve Clemons calls it a religious war driven by apocalyptic cultists. He also reports that eight US states have agreed to start using the term “Judea and Samaria” instead of “West Bank” in official documents. Senator Chris Van Hollen confirms he has seen these reports and points to Ambassador Mike Huckabee invoking the Bible to justify Middle East policy. The senator warns of “vicious attacks on Muslim Americans by many in the Republican Party.” 👍 US-Israel-Iran war | @geopolitics_prime |

Trump admits the U.S. doesn't need Middle Eastern oil and did it for allies, "almost out of habit": "We have more than double any other country. We don't need it. But we did it because we have some good allies there. Israel there."

[b]People are still telling themselves that the IRGC is winning. 🤣 Let me give you a little glimpse of what they’re calling winning. Khamenei was killed Larijani was killed Shamkhani was killed Mousavi of the General Staff was killed Pakpour of the IRGC was killed Soleimani of the Basij was killed Aziz Nasirzadeh of Defense was killed Asadi of Intelligence was killed Hossein Salami of the IRGC was killed Hajizadeh was killed Shekian of Air Defense was killed Mohammad Bagheri of the General Staff was killed Rashid of the Khatam Garrison was killed Shadmaneh of the Q. Khatam was killed Kazemi of Intelligence was killed Mohaghegh of Intelligence was killed Mohrabbi of Intelligence was killed Rabbani of Operations was killed Rezaeian of Faraja was killed Bagheri of Missiles was killed Shirazi of the Bit was killed Qasem Soleimani was killed Mohammad Reza Zahedi was killed Abbas Nilforoushan was killed Hossein Hemdani was killed Mazafari Nia (Atomic) was killed Jabal Ameli (Atomic) was killed Fakhrizadeh (Atomic) was killed Borji (Atomic) was killed Tehrani Moghadam was killed And Israel has no intention on stopping. If they weren’t so indoctrinated with their Islamic ideology, they would be admitting defeat, but that’ll never happen, so Israel and the US will just have to keep winning. This is an incredible list. Truly truly spectacular. And that’s not even mentioning all the Hezbollah leaders, Hamas leaders, and Islamic jihad leaders that Israel took out. There wouldn’t be enough space for all of them on one graphic! 💪🇮🇱🇺🇸💥 By the way, the list above is accurate. I asked AI to make the collage, so there may be a few mistakes there, but everyone on the list above is now resting in many pieces![/b] 1 Like

🇮🇷 Helium squeeze: Iran war risks choking microchip supply The US-Israeli war on Iran is starting to hit where it hurts most — the microchip industry. Qatari gas disruption is choking helium output — a critical by-product used in chip-making. Less natural gas production means less helium — and without helium, chip factories can’t run. The danger isn’t immediate. But if shortages outlast stockpile buffers of around six weeks, the crisis will escalate fast: 🔴 spot helium prices could jump by 50% to 200% 🔴 contract prices may rise by 20% to 40% 🔴 helium only makes up about 0.5% to 1% of chip costs — but it is essential for production Even if gas supplies resume, recovery may take weeks to months — keeping supply short. 👍 US-Israel-Iran war | @geopolitics_prime |
