🌎 Mohammad Mokhber, advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, rejects Trump's new claim that the Strait of Hormuz is "open," declaring the Strait of Hormuz will stay closed forever, until every single condition of Iran's demands are met. Mokhber adds "every time the enemy breaches its commitments and resorts to war again, it will face harsher conditions and greater resilience than before." Mokhber concludes "whoever does not learn from the experiences of the past will themselves become a lesson for the future." 1 Like |

🌎 Jared Kushner's $5 billion Jeffrey Epstein-style Albanian resort project plan has effectively collapsed amid Iranian accusations of a $9 billion insider trading operation against him — and after prosecutors found the land was bought with forged Ottoman documents linked to a suspected cocaine trafficker, per WSJ. Kushner's group paid $125 million in April to Artur Shehu for land on the Zvernec peninsula. Two months later, Albanian prosecutors charged Shehu with money laundering and cocaine trafficking — alleging he used forged documents to acquire the land sold to Kushner. The project faced mass protests for over 60 days under the "Flamingo Revolution," with thousands opposing environmental destruction and land theft. This is the second time Kushner has faced project collapse in the Balkans after local opposition — following a similar withdrawal in Belgrade, Serbia. |

🌎 Gulf energy producers have completely lost faith in the Trump administration and are quietly accepting Iran's permanent control over the Strait of Hormuz — because the alternative, returning to war, would be worse, per WSJ. The numbers are stark and very concerning. Crude exports through the Strait have collapsed to 2.2 million barrels per day from 8.5 million a month ago. Pre-war flows of roughly 20 million barrels per day are now a distant memory. Gulf states' alternative export routes are also under attack — Saudi Arabia's Red Sea pipeline hit by Houthi strikes, Egypt's Damietta port struck by drones. Iranian officials have declared the new Iranian order in the Strait is "irreversible," and the U.S. has no alternative but to accept it or face "costs much greater than in the past." Iran already holds effective control over the strait, with commercial shippers refusing to cross without Tehran's assurance. The WSJ's conclusion is stark: Gulf states are adapting to a new normal where Iran's veto over their energy exports is permanent. The U.S. has been pushed out of the Gulf militarily. And the alternative to accepting Iran's control — a return to full-scale war — is worse. 10 Likes 1 Share |

🌎 Iranian officials are reportedly warning of a possible major U.S-Israeli military operation against Iran, citing increased military activity across the Gulf. Seyed Mohammad Marandi, an Iranian academic and adviser close to the country’s establishment, said forces linked to the Trump administration in Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Jordan are reportedly mobilizing for what he described as a potential “blitzkrieg,” possibly in coordination with Israel.
