Houthi Maritime Drone and UAV Strike Hits US-linked Oil Tanker in Red Sea
It looks like the Houthis are back to attacking ships in the Red Sea.
The Houthis just struck the US owned / linked oil tanker "Chios Lion" in the Red Sea.
This war is quickly spiraling out of control for Israel and the U.S. They certainly did not anticipate such a strong response from Hezbollah, which is ignoring their Israeli-chosen puppet government in Lebanon and continually bombing Israel in the north.

Iran War: We Follow The Money (To Mar-A-Lago)
This is, by far, the BEST analysis of who is behind the Iran war in the U.S., and how this has been planned for years. It reveals who the Zionists and Jews are that are profiting from this war.
From The Democracy Defender's Substack
How the Mar-A-Lago Gang is Cashing In On The Iran War
Excerpts:
Approximately 70% of Trump’s cabinet and more than 50 government officials have direct prior roles with the Heritage Foundation or its Project 2025 partner groups.
That is not a statistic that gets enough attention.
The Heritage Foundation — through Project 2025 and the subsequent “Project 2026” — didn’t just publish a policy wish list. It built a personnel pipeline that placed hundreds of vetted loyalists into the federal bureaucracy, each one committed to a specific task: centralize executive power, dismantle regulatory oversight, and an “America First” foreign policy that treats military force as the default instrument of statecraft.
The Iran war is what that pipeline was built to produce.
Discussions began with Colin Powel addressing Heritage in 2018 and actionable “maximum pressure” policy was drawn up in 2022-2023.
For decades, Heritage has advocated for the destruction of the Iran nuclear deal, for “maximum pressure” campaigns, and for the explicit position that the Iranian regime cannot be negotiated with — only confronted.
Their scholars have called the current moment a “golden window of opportunity.” Their policy papers called for “sustained operations involving weeks of bombing.” Their Sentinel Action Fund — a Super PAC — lobbied for the exact defense appropriations now funding the carrier strike groups in the Persian Gulf.
This was not a reaction to events. It was a strategy waiting for the right President and the opportunity to execute it.
And the personnel is now in place — not just ideologues, but billionaires with portfolios that rise and fall with every decision they make from inside the government.
The Pentagon as a Private Equity Portfolio: Stephen Feinberg
The Department of Defense now officially goes by a secondary title: the “Department of War.” The name change is telling, but the real transformation is structural in a financial sense.
At the center of it sits Stephen Feinberg, co-founder of Cerberus Capital Management — a private equity firm with approximately $70 billion dollars in assets — who serves as the Deputy Secretary of Defense.
While Pete Hegseth plays the role of ideological figurehead, talking “warrior ethos” to the cameras, Feinberg is the one actually running the Pentagon’s $900 billion-plus budget. He manages it, according to observers, with the “terrifyingly intense scrutiny” of a corporate turnaround specialist. Which is exactly what he is.
The June 2025 strikes on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility weren’t just military operations. They were live-fire demonstrations for hypersonic weapons systems developed by private equity-backed firms. Every successful strike is a proof of concept. Every proof of concept drives up the portfolio value. And the man overseeing Pentagon procurement is financially connected to the firms doing the selling.
The Commerce Secretary’s Insider Bet: Howard Lutnick
If the Feinberg story is about slow structural corruption, the Howard Lutnick story is about something faster and more breathtaking: a sitting cabinet member’s firm betting against his own policies — and winning.

More Trouble for Big Tech in the Iran War: Qatar Accounts for a Third of Global Helium Supply but has Halted Production of the Gas, Which is Essential for Semiconductor Manufacturing
From MarketWatch:
As if there weren’t enough supply constraints in the semiconductor industry, chip makers are staring down a potential shortage of helium — a gas crucial for semiconductor manufacturing.
Conflict in the Middle East between the U.S., Israel and Iran threatens to hurt both the production and transportation of helium.
Helium is extracted as a byproduct of natural-gas processing and is an essential part of the semiconductor-manufacturing process. Chip makers use it as a carrier gas to entrap and transport certain chemicals, transfer energy to chemical reactants and cool silicon wafers during production.
According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, there are no available substitutes that can replace helium for some of the industry’s uses.
“Should the supply of helium be immediately disrupted, there would likely be shocks to the global semiconductor manufacturing industry,” the SIA warned in a 2023 report.
On March 2, QatarEnergy stopped production at its Ras Laffan complex, which it says is the largest export facility in the world for liquefied natural gas.
It later declared “force majeure,” which frees it from meeting its obligations to customers.

The Iran war is already the biggest threat to global shipping and supply chains since COVID
More bad news about the economic fallout from the Iran war by the Wall Street publication Market Watch today. Rising oil prices are not the only thing threatening the U.S. economy, but there could be disruptions of supply chains and higher shipping costs, like we saw during COVID.
From MarketWatch:
The price of food, AI chips and more could rise as supply-chain disruptions touch industries across the spectrum
Iranian strikes on cargo ships and on Oman’s biggest port have ratcheted up concerns about the global shipping business, adding another economic dimension to the conflict beyond higher energy prices.
The cost of shipping goods around the world is on the rise due to the situation in the Middle East. A composite index tracking spot global container-shipping prices is up 8% this week, and it’s up nearly 12% since the start of the conflict in Iran.
While container cargo flows are nowhere near as dependent on the Strait of Hormuz as the shipment of crude oil and crude products, the overall crisis compounds supply-chain risks and costs.
War is a growing threat to the global supply chain, already fragile after other recent geopolitical shocks and under pressure from the Trump administration’s tariffs, said Antonella Teodoro, an economist and analyst at freight and logistics consultancy MDS Transmodal.
The Iran conflict is likely the most significant threat to global shipping and supply chains since COVID, she added.
