The invasion of Kharg Island is militarily possible but too costly for the U.S. If they do so, Iran won't even need to use missiles but less costly equipment.

To support invasion of Kharg island, they will have to invade Iranian mainland. But too costly as oil prices will rise higher than $140.

Iran will directly hit Saudi Arabia's oil production facilities. Oil will rise above $200. None of the global players want this.

I don’t expect the U.S. will push such an attempt. It's only in words.

Breaking the petrodollar will not be possible in the short term but step by step.
 
Currently the biggest crude oil producer & consumer in the world is United States. Western countries will continue to choose US dollar in trading.
 
Saudi Arabia is the 2nd biggest supplier and will continue with US dollar after this crisis.
 
If sanctions are lifted, even Iran will turn back to USD.

FULL INTERVIEW

Armin Papperger, CEO of Rheinmetall:

These are Ukrainian housewives. They have 3D printers in their kitchens, and they produce parts for drones. This is not innovation.

Haluk Bayraktar, CEO of Baykar:

Amid the full-scale war, Ukraine has demonstrated extraordinary innovation: from fiber-optic & AI-enhanced FPVs that evade EW jamming, to interceptor drones, deep-strike operations, and scaled up to millions of units annually.

Zelensky:

If every housewife in Ukraine can really produce drones, then every housewife in Ukraine can be the CEO of Rheinmetall.

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf:

The enemy promotes its desires as news while threatening our nation at same time. Big Mistake. If they hit one, they'll take several back.

God willing, the people of Iran, under the leadership of the Supreme Leader, will make the enemy regret the aggression and reclaim their rights.

White House:

Our nation was a nation founded 250 years ago on Judeo-Christian values.

Reporter: Who is paying for the cost of this war? Will those Arab countries step up to do it?

White House: I think it's something Trump would be quite interested in calling them to do.

Israel’s parliament passed a law making the death penalty the default sentence for Palestinians convicted of deadly attacks in military courts.

The bill, backed by Netanyahu and promoted by Itamar Ben-Gvir, allows execution within 90 days, though judges can instead impose life imprisonment.

The move has sparked strong criticism from international allies and human rights groups, who say it is discriminatory and undermines democracy.

Thousands of U.S. troops, including elite paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division, are arriving in the Middle East as Trump considers how to proceed in the war with Iran.

They join about 2,500 Marines sent over the weekend, expanding U.S. military presence in the region.

Marco Rubio on NATO:

If NATO is just about us defending Europe if they’re attacked, but them denying us basing rights when we need them, that’s not a very good arrangement.

Marco Rubio:

It’s disappointing to see that, in a time of need for the United States, we have countries like Spain—a NATO member that we are pledged to defend—denying us the use of their airspace and bragging about it.

Iran is urging Yemen’s Houthi group to prepare for possible attacks on Red Sea shipping if the US escalates its conflict with Tehran.

For now, US and Saudi officials believe the group is holding back.

However, the longer the conflict continues, the more likely the Houthis are to target key shipping routes.

Marco Rubio on Cuba:

The blackouts in Cuba have nothing to do with us.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

Iran respects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and considers it a brotherly nation.

Our operations are aimed at enemy aggressors who have no respect for Arabs or Iranians, nor can provide any security. Just look at what we did to their aerial command.

High time to eject U.S. forces.

Marco Rubio on Iran:

They need to stop building weapons that can threaten their neighbors.
