—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Strait of Hormuz traffic falls to the lowest since the first two days of the war

@Middle_East_Spectator

The Iranians are now legitimately in control of the strait.

During the conflict, it was only partially controlled and could still be run without insurance guarantees.

I can’t see how this works out at all.

The war has to continue.

If it does not and Iran keeps its position this will be the single largest foreign policy failure in U.S. history.

🇫🇷🇸🇦⚡️- TotalEnergies announced the Saudi Satorp refinery will be indefinitely shut down following recent strikes.

🇨🇳🇰🇵⚡️- In an official statement relayed by state medias, China wishes for an "increased coordination" with North Korea.

🇺🇸🇬🇷⚡️- A USAF KC-135R Stratotanker is squawking the 7700 general emergency code in the Aegean Sea, north of Crete.

I believe China has reevaluated the Taiwan situation in light of U.S. actions against Iran which are clearly intended to disrupt the Chinese economy.

Likely just more aggressive political and subversive actions in undermining the current regime and forcing reunification peacefully.

No matter what their plan is however it’s now abundantly clear what they are dealing with in the west and should be preparing their asses off for what’s going to come their way eventually.

Working on the basis of decades or centuries is fantastic and should be continued but when your opponent works in moments, hours and weeks you must match them or be outpaced in the short term. We don’t have decades to flip the board on this game.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇰🇷/🇶🇦 NEW: A South Korean representative and Qatari bank executives are scrambling behind the scenes to release $7 Billion dollars worth of frozen Iranian funds held by South Korea in Qatari banks

The frozen assets are a result of U.S. financial sanctions, and Iran wants them released immediately.
