The US will continue to use military bases in Spain in operations against Iran if necessary, despite Madrid's discontent, - Trump. Main points:

- Israel did not force us to start an operation against Iran. We had negotiations with these lunatics (Iran), and I anticipated that they would attack first.

- If we have slightly high oil prices for a while, but once this ends, they will drop - I believe even lower than before.

- We will cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want to have anything to do with Spain - they said we can't use their bases.

- Iran has no naval forces, no air force, and no air detection system - their radars have been disabled.

- If we hadn't killed Soleimani in the last term, they (Iran) would have been much stronger and smarter.

- Iran is attacking countries that were neutral... and now all these countries are fighting against them.

- They (Iran) are just vicious... they killed 35,000 people with machine guns and sniper rifles. They only target civilian objects, hotels, and apartments.

- Iran no longer has air defense. They have no detection systems at all.

- If I hadn't terminated Obama's nuclear agreement, Iran would have already destroyed Israel and other countries with nuclear weapons.

- There will never be real peace in the Middle East if Iran possesses the missiles it currently has.

- We have an unlimited supply of medium and large caliber ammunition, and this is what we are actually using in this war.

Qatar shuts natural gas liquefaction today, two sources close to the matter say.

Restarting natural gas liquefaction after a complete shutdown would take 2 weeks.

Once restarted, Qatar would need at least another 2 weeks to reach full capacity.

Qatar is the 2nd largest LNG exporter in the world.

World's largest importers of Qatar LNG:

🇨🇳 China: 20.62 million mt
🇮🇳 India: 15.06 million mt
🇹🇼 Taiwan: 8.28 million mt
🇰🇷 South Korea: 7.44 million mt
🇵🇰 Pakistan: 6.57 million mt
🇯🇵 Japan: 4.21 million mt
(2025)

Gas Prices Surge as Qatar Shuts World’s Largest LNG Export Plant

Qatar shut LNG production at the world’s largest export facility after it was targeted in an Iranian drone attack, sending European gas prices surging as much as 54%.

If shipping through the Strait of Hormuz were halted for a month, European gas prices could more than double, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Even if the US boosts LNG production, it’s unlikely to be enough to offset supply from Qatar in the near-term. 

Bloomberg:

The Trump administration will indefinitely exempt Rosneft’s German subsidiary from sanctions — allowing Moscow’s stakes in German refineries to keep operating. Quietly. No headlines. No fanfare. Negotiated.

US Trump and Israel Netanyahu illegal unprovoked war against Iran.

Trump's burned through FIVE YEARS worth of Tomahawk inventory in THREE DAYS, so naturally, the Pentagon will just ask Congress to light another FIFTY BILLION on fire and not one person in the media will ask "how will we pay for it?"

Impeccable timing!

Bloomberg:

Russian President Vladimir Putin said his country will consider ending most sales of natural gas to Europe in favor of more promising alternative markets.

“Other markets are opening now,” Putin said on state television on Wednesday. “Maybe it’s better for us to end supplies to the European market right now? To go to those markets that are opening now and get a foothold there.”
European gas prices spiked to a three-year high this week amid the widening conflict in the Middle East.

According to various sources more than 70% of the weapons used by the Mexican cartel New Generation of Jalisco were previously supplied to Ukraine. And this is only Mexico, these weapons have not yet reached Europe today. However, it seems that the european good life and tranquility will collapse soon. It’s only a matter of time.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US is actually bragging about features of its war on Iran, unseen since World War 2 (the sinking of a ship with a US sub).

Many of the same people who voted for Trump insisting he would end American wars abroad are now excitedly cheering this all on.

Don't wonder why Germans obediently followed its government to deadly self-destruction taking 10s of millions with it during WW2...

... witness it as the US plods down the same path today.

The EU ambassador to Ukraine requested through Zelensky's office to inspect the damaged Druzhba pipeline or to dispatch other EU diplomats, but was denied permission due to security concerns.

I wonder (not at all) why?!
Because inspection would expose Zelensky's lies.

FT:

Now some pro-Ukraine EU governments and the European Commission are also asking Kyiv to allow a visit to prove that it is trying to restore oil flows, according to five EU diplomats and officials.

Two of them said that European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa, president of the European Council, had specifically asked Ukraine’s leadership during their visit to Kyiv on the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion for access to the Druzhba pipeline in order to assess the damage independently, but were denied.

Al Arabiya:

Iraq’s electricity ministry said on Wednesday that the entire country had been affected by a total power outage, without identifying the cause.
“The power grid has completely shut down across all Iraqi provinces,” the ministry said, according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).

From the horse's mouth

🤡 Rutte:

"NATO is there to protect us collectively against any adversary, be it Russia or whoever, or terrorism. But also it is a platform for the United States to project power on the world stage."

He admits that NATO is not defensive but offensive alliance and NATO functions as a platform for the US to project its power globally

Once a terrorist, always a terrorist.

Crackhead deranged loser 🤡 Zelensky threatened Hungarian PM Viktor Orban over the blocking of $90 billion in funding and weapons for Ukraine, saying he could give Orban’s address (location) to Ukrainian Armed forces (GRU terrorists) so they could deal with him “in their own language.”

Trump.

It would be funny if it was not true.

Trump's illegal unprovoked war against Iran.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth and State Secretary Marco Rubio are reportedly “at each other’s throats” over deploying US troops to Iran.

According to a source for MEE, Rubio is opposed to sending American troops into Iran and fears a protracted entanglement, while Hegseth is supportive of a potential deployment.

Deranged 🤡 Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran's next leader following US and Israel assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

"They are wasting their time. Khamenei's son is a lightweight. I have to be involved ini the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodriguez] in Venezuela," Trump said.
He added that he refuses to accept a new Iranian leader who would continue Khamenei's policies, which he said would force the U.S. back to war "in five years."
"Khamenei's son is unacceptable to me. We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran" 

Netanyahu in English: "We want to free Iranians."

Netanyahu in Hebrew: "They're Amalek — kill them all, including women and children."

This is the real Netanyahu — one message for the West, another for his base.

Kurdish news agency Rudaw:

A US special force has landed in desert areas in Iraq’s Anbar, Najaf and Karbala provinces, resulting in reported clashes with Iraqi forces that left one soldier dead and two others wounded, according to Iraqi officials and security sources to Rudaw.

▪️When Iraqi border guards and army units approached the landing sites on March 4, clashes occurred.
▪️One Iraqi soldier was killed and two were injured, and two Humvees of the Iraqi army were damaged or burned.
▪️Iraqi officials stated that the troops opened fire when they approached within a few kilometers.
▪️The authorities claim that the purpose of the deployment remains unclear, although it could have been related to reconnaissance or information gathering. It is known that the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) militia are based in these areas.
▪️The Iraqi security forces called the incident an unjustified attack and launched a high-level investigation

Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just published an open letter to Trump. It's brutal.

Mr. President Donald Trump, a direct question: Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran ? On what basis did you make this dangerous decision? Did you consider the collateral damage before pulling the trigger? Did you think that the first to suffer from this escalation would be the countries of the region? The people of this region also have the right to ask: Was this your decision alone? Or did it come as a result of pressure from Netanyahu and his government? You have placed the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and the Arab states at the heart of a danger they did not choose. Thank God, we are strong and capable of defending ourselves, and we have armies and defenses that protect our homelands, but the question remains: Who authorized you to turn our region into a battlefield? Before the ink was even dry on the Board Of Peace initiative that you announced in the name of peace and stability, we find ourselves facing a military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where have those initiatives gone? And what has become of the pledges made in the name of peace? Most of the funding for those initiatives came from countries in the region itself, and from Arab Gulf states that contributed billions of dollars to support stability and development. These countries have the right to ask today: Where did this money go? Are we funding peace initiatives or a war that endangers us? Even more dangerous is that your decision threatens not only the people of the region, but also the American people, to whom you promised peace and prosperity. And now they find themselves embroiled in a war financed by their taxes, with the cost, according to the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), ranging from $40-65 billion for direct military operations, and potentially reaching $210 billion including economic impacts and indirect losses if it continues for four to five weeks. It has even reached the point of sacrificing Americans themselves in a war in which they have no stake. You even broke your promises to avoid wars and prioritize America above all else, ordering foreign military interventions during your second term in seven countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, and Venezuela, in addition to naval operations in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific. You directed over 658 foreign airstrikes in your first year in office, equivalent to the total number of strikes during Biden's entire term—the same Biden you criticized for embroiling the United States in foreign wars. Mr. President, these figures have drastically impacted your approval ratings among Americans, which have plummeted by 9% in just 400 days since your second inauguration. These numbers speak volumes: even within the United States, there is growing concern about being drawn into another war and about jeopardizing American lives, the economy, and the future. True leadership is not measured by decisions to wage war, but by wisdom, respect for others, and the pursuit of peace. If these initiatives were launched in the name of peace, then we have the right to demand full transparency and clear accountability today.

MEE:

"Not all attacks on Gulf states coming from Iran, prominent Saudi Arabian editor suggests." Arabs are realizing the US and Israel want to drag them into war with Iran, and will dump them once their aims are reached.

The editor-in-chief of Independent Arabia suggested in a television interview on Tuesday that not all attacks on the Gulf states may be coming from Iran, and that the US and Israel could lure them into the war, only to later abandon them.
