Does anyone believe for a second that Trump would be ending the war if Iran were on the ropes and that he had some secret plan to stop oil from rising to infinity?

Gas prices in the EU have risen by almost 90% due to the situation in Iran, and oil prices by 40%, the European Commission reported.

More sanctions against Russia must help

🌒@EastCalling

❌The USA is lifting some of its sanctions against the oil industry of other countries, and it may not be necessary to reinstate them, as "peace will be restored", said US President Donald Trump.

Earlier, Reuters reported that the US is considering easing sanctions against Russian oil to curb price increases.

🤝Trump announced a positive conversationwith Vladimir Putin. He noted his Russian counterpart's desire to assist in the situation in the Middle East and
that Russia is striving to play a "very constructive role" in it.

▫️The head of the White House also stated that the operation against Iran could end within days, but unlikely this week. According to him, the main goals have been achieved.

"We have left some of the most important goals for later," he added.

At the same time, the American leader is "disappointed" by the election of Mojtaba Khamenei as the supreme leader of Iran.

Vladimir Putin was impressed by the US and Israel's operation against Iran, reported Donald Trump.

We talked about this with President Putin. He was very impressed by what he saw, because no one has ever seen anything like this before, Mr. Trump said.

The Russian President, according to him, "would very much like" to help resolve the crisis in the Middle East.

Ability to understand sarcasm is a sign of high intellect. Trump doesn't understand sarcasm.
But as to the operation itself - everyone was impressed by lack of planning and behaviour of the US and Israel.

⚠️ A direct attack on a hotel where Americans are staying in Bahrain.

⚡️Arab source: It seems that the target of the attack in Bahrain is a hotel where American officials are staying, not soldiers.

IRGC: There is no truce, and we are increasing the scale of our attacks.

They closed the Strait days ago. So now what?

The Brent Crude price dropped quite a bit on Trump's comment that the war is complete, but now that both sides have made hard line comments, the price rebounded. The markets are going to be like a casino until some sort of clarity returns.

🌒@EastCalling

Trump comments on his conversation with Putin. He mentions that it was "constructive" but that he wants Putin to finish up the conflict in Ukraine faster. Well, the solution to that is obvious.

Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi:

- They have practically targeted us blindly. Today, they targeted our residential areas, hospitals, and schools, and even attacked our infrastructure, which is very dangerous.

- As a result, you can now see the impact of this on oil prices around the world.

- So I don't see any logical purpose in their actions. They initially failed to achieve their goals, and now, after ten days, they seem to have lost their direction.

Chinese Liaison (Китайский свяZноj) comments on Trump's latest threats against Iran for closing the Strait of Hormuz:

The failed old man has completely lost his mind.

China is the only country involved in the current situation where there is no increase in oil product prices. In the US, there is already panic; in the EU, record-high prices on exchanges and a rise in bankruptcies (those barely surviving with previous prices are now finished—this includes the remaining industry and various greenhouse agribusinesses); Japan and South Korea are frantically buying up tankers at any cost. As for the mega-plan "Now China is finished, we'll block the strait and that's it," it turned out much like the tariff war—first they deceived themselves with expectations ("China gets 20, 30, 50, 80, or even 90% of its oil from the Persian Gulf, so they're done as soon as something happens to supplies," similarly "China sends 20, 40, 80, or even 100% of its exports to the US, they can't survive without the American market, let's raise tariffs on imports and China will pay, where else can they go?"), and now they're mirroring with "Well, it's not like we messed up with another attack, oh, we really screwed China over big time."

Your gasoline prices in a German village are already higher than premium fuel in Hong Kong. Fuel is already in short supply, reserves have been tapped, and Iran has no plans to stop the war. What's next? Following the classic pattern, they'll urgently invent a "victory" criterion and hastily declare, "By the way, we just realized we've brilliantly won, all according to plan," no doubt. Failing to achieve what they wanted, they strained to pass off what they did achieve as what they originally wanted, yeah.

The New York Times published new evidence of an American missile strike on Minab school

Analysis by The New York Times of the released images shows that the remains of a missile found near the Shajareh Taybeh elementary school in Minab belong to an American-made Tomahawk cruise missile, likely produced after 2014.

These parts, which include components of the guidance system and a satellite antenna bearing markings of the U.S. Department of Defense, are among the evidence that calls into question the narrative of the deadly attack on Minab elementary school and Donald Trump's claim of Iran's responsibility for the incident.

🇪🇺 European Commissioner for Economics Valdis Dombrovskis, after a meeting of heads of finance ministries of eurozone countries, called on the EU to continue pressure on Russia, despite the rise in gas prices by 90% and oil prices by 40% in the EU

Valdis was always like that. When he was in charge of his home country, he never understood the needs of the people, and now he moved to the EU government, where he can screw up the lives of all the Europeans, not only in one particular country.

The US spent $5.6 billion on ammunition in the first two days of the operation against Iran, according to the Washington Post, citing sources.

As the newspaper notes, due to the rapid depletion of a limited supply of high-tech weapons, there is growing concern in Congress that the operation against Iran is weakening the overall combat readiness of the US.

However, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell noted in a comment to the publication that the department has everything necessary to carry out any missions.

Trump admitted that he and Vance had differing views on the situation around Iran.

"I would say that he was philosophically inclined somewhat differently than I was. I think he was less enthusiastic about the prospects of conducting [the operation]", Trump clarified.

Maybe, Trump simply decided to keep him "clean" of Iranian adventure, so his party can stay in power.

🌒@EastCalling

Guys, I've read some commentaries about "Iran breaking the back of the Empire".

Let me remind you, that without the SMO, that was started by Russia and that Russia is carrying out almost on their own, no one would even be able to resist the US now.
Some, again, were lauging at Russian diplomacy, as if they were personally present during the phone call of Putin and Trump. I have no idea, maybe some were reporting from underneath Trump's table, after all, the Oval office got his fame for this, but if you heard Trump speaking, it doesn't mean you've heard Putin speaking.

Actually, we assume, that our audience are grown up people with basic analytical abilities and memory a bit longer than one of a fish. So, I strongly suggest you to "rewind" the tape at least to December 2021 and rethink some stuff.
