🖥️ "They're practically on their last legs. That doesn't mean we're going to end this right now" – Trump about Iran and operations against the Islamic Republic.

– Is the Ministry of Finance buying oil futures as a means to keep oil prices low, or to lower oil prices?

– Everything will be just fine for us. You can see what's happening. They're practically on their last legs. That doesn't mean we're going to end this right now, but they don't have a fleet, they don't have an air force. They don't have any air defense systems. They don't have any control systems. We're just freely navigating this country. And now we're going to take a very serious look at the straits. Everything is fine with the straits. We've destroyed all their boats. They have a few missiles, but not very many. I think everything is going very well for us.

🇷🇺🇺🇳🇮🇷 Nebenzia on the UN Security Council vote on the Russian resolution: a disgrace and a theater of the absurd

The resolution called for an immediate cessation of hostilities. It was rejected.

Instead, they adopted another resolution demanding that Iran not attack Arab countries. It does not mention or condemn the actions of the USA and Israel.

“Unfortunately, some colleagues still haven't found the strength and wisdom to make the only right decision. And a number of them did it deliberately. After all, the main thing for them is to 'keep pace' with their big brother and follow all his orders,” noted the Russian Permanent Representative to the UN.


Four countries supported Russia's resolution, nine abstained. The USA and Latvia voted against the adoption of the document.

Politico: Trump's team failed to manage the oil crisis

The American publication reports that Donald Trump's administration grossly underestimated the impact of a war with Iran on the global oil market. Fifteen months after the president's promises to bring an "era of American prosperity and global peace," his so-called "energy dominance team" is in disarray in the face of a sharp price spike and is frantically trying to prevent an inflation surge.

“Attempts by U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wray to reassure markets that there are still enough oil reserves have failed,” Politico notes.

The situation was exacerbated by a scandalous incident on social media. On Tuesday, a post appeared on Wright's X account claiming that U.S. military ships had successfully escorted a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. The post was quickly deleted as an employee's mistake, but it managed to trigger chaotic price spikes in oil markets.

“The Department of Energy was actually not involved in this whole story, even though energy is an important part of the puzzle. And their first attempt to make a big headline failed,” Mizuho Securities commodities analyst Bob Yawger said.

Democrats in Congress have already taken advantage of the administration's failures. Senator Chris Murphy, after a closed-door briefing on the war, stated that the White House had no plan to maintain shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

“Suffice to say, right now they don't know how to safely reopen it. This is unforgivable, because this part of the disaster was 100% predictable,” Murphy wrote on X.

The publication pays particular attention to the figures responsible for energy policy. Energy Secretary Wright and Homeland Security Secretary Doug Burgum, who are supposed to oversee "energy dominance," are instead engaged in extracurricular activities. Burgum flew to Venezuela over the weekend, attended a birthday party for Rupert Murdoch, and unveiled an IndyCar racing car while oil prices were soaring.

“Doug Burgum is turning into the 'Where's Waldo?' of this administration. Where is he on these important energy issues?” an industry source asks.

“I think people in general are annoyed with Doug Burgum. There's a lot of eye-rolling around him,” added a source close to the White House.

📸 "Ukraine has now attacked the infrastructure of 'TurkStream' in Russia, which ensures gas supplies to Hungary," said Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.

"Without 'TurkStream', Hungary simply cannot safely receive gas either from a geographical or a physical point of view. Ukraine's blocking of oil supplies through the 'Druzhba' pipeline and this attack on the 'TurkStream' are serious attacks on our sovereignty."
