๐บ๐ธ "For the United States, the grim toll in the first week of the war signaled that Iran was more prepared for war than the Trump administration anticipated, U.S. military officials said. Iran has continued to put up a fight, even after its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other top officials were killed in Israeli attacks with intelligence help from the C.I.A." - New York Times

โShort term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!โ โ Donald J. Trump
Only fools. Let us pause on that for just a moment โ because the man who bankrupted casinos, the sovereign miracle of managed incompetence, the golden-toilet philosopher-king of Mar-a-Lago, has decided that the working people of America filling their tanks $3.41 a gallon and climbing fast โ up forty-three cents in a single week, the biggest weekly crude surge since records began in 1983 โ are to consider themselves fortunate. Blessed, even. You are paying for World Peace, peasant. You are funding Safety, serf. Now shut up, get back in your truck, swipe your card, and be grateful the genius on Truth Social has it all figured out.
Qatarโs energy minister not some Resistance blogger, not a professor at Berkeley, but the man who controls one of the planetโs great LNG arteries โ looked at what Trump has done to the Strait of Hormuz and said plainly that oil at $150 a barrel could bring down the economies of the world.
The Dow dropped 900 points the day Trump demanded unconditional Iranian surrender. Goldman Sachs issued warnings. The Fed is now staring down the barrel of stagflation โ rising prices, falling jobs, 92,000 positions gone last month alone. But yes. Tell us again about the fools.
This was never about a nuclear weapons program, and anyone who has watched American foreign policy for twenty minutes in the last thirty years knows it. The Strait of Hormuz carries a fifth of the worldโs oil. Whoever dominates the Persian Gulf dominates the arteries of the global economy โ Chinese imports, Indian refining, Japanese industry, South Korean manufacturing, all of it flows or dies by those narrow waters. That is the map that matters. That is what is actually at stake โ not some bomb that Iran did not have, but the ancient imperial compulsion to plant a boot on the throat of Eurasiaโs energy spine and call it liberation. But the markets are coldly reporting just how much of a fool these merchants of war are.
And the man holding the pen โ the self-proclaimed dealmaker, the closer, the genius โ has the audacity to call the ones who notice it fools. History will have a different name for him.

It cannot be ruled out that this might be a disinformation campaign by the Iranians to stir up the Shia factor in Bahrain, where pro-Iranian sympathies among the population are strong. It's no coincidence that UAE and Saudi Arabian troops were recently deployed to the country to quell riots.

Russia may start using jet versions of the "Geran" strike drones with speeds of up to 600 km/h, Forbes reports, citing Ukrainian military sources.
Sergei Beskrestnov, an advisor to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry and known as "Flash", believes that the most likely direction for the modernization of these drones is increasing their speed, which could complicate the work of Ukrainian air defense systems.
"Russia may add evasive maneuvers, fly at very low altitudes, or increase speed. Given the design of the 'Geran', increasing speed seems the most feasible option," he said.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, the jet drone "Geran-3" is capable of speeds over 500 km/h, and the larger version, "Geran-5", can reach up to 600 km/h. At the same time, such drones can carry up to 90 kg of explosives and cover distances of around 1,000 km.

How America Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Proxy Bomb, Why the Man Who Tried to Stop It "Died Suddenly" in Dallas, and How a Pedophile's Blackmail Empire Became the Glue Holding it Together
There is a persistent myth in Western policy circles: that Israel, the plucky startup nation, built its nuclear arsenal through sheer grit, French assistance, and German reparations money. It is a carefully crafted story of national survival against impossible odds โ imprinted on Western consciousness by Hollywood, the MSM, and โacademicโ historical propaganda. It is also, on close inspection, almost certainly a fairy tale โ one soaked in innocent and not-so-innocent blood. More importantly, the punchline of the Zionist project isnโt funny anymore; itโs a mushroom cloud. The project didnโt start without a fight. In 1961, the newly elected president of the USA was asking all the right โor wrongโ questions. John F. Kennedy pressed the then Israeli PM Ben-Gurion relentlessly, demanded inspections, and threatened to cut off US support if Israel didnโt open Dimona to American eyes. He was the one man who might have stopped the bomb before it crossed the threshold. And on November 22, 1963, he was shot dead in Dallas. Coincidence? Perhaps. But the questions he asked died with himโand no president since has dared ask them again. Which raises a more uncomfortable question:
What if it was a carefully constructed American projectโdesigned to give the United States a nuclear proxy in the Middle East while maintaining the precious fiction of โplausible deniabilityโ? What if the men who tried to tell us this truth ended up in prison, in exile, or, in at least one case, bleeding out in a Dallas motorcade? And what if the entire edifice rests on a foundation of blackmail so deep that the American elite literally cannot afford to let you know the truth?
Letโs walk through this history. Bring popcornโIโll try to keep it light, but itโs a dark comedy. Its final episode might involve nuclear fire, and according to some U.S. commanders, the return of Jesus Christ.
That mushroom cloud has a name ripped from scripture: the Samson Option. Just as Samson brought down the temple upon himself and his enemies, Israelโs nuclear strategy has long been understood as a last resortโa guarantee that if the state faces annihilation, it will not go alone. The pillars of that temple are not made of stone, but of enriched uranium, stolen from under Americaโs nose. And the rubble would cover the Middle Eastโand perhaps beyond.

The cartoon was drawn during the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon. Around 20,000 Lebanese and Palestinian civilians were killed. The Sabra and Shatila massacre took place. An entire capital was besieged.
Yesterday, Israeli paratroopers dressed as Lebanese soldiers were reported in the Bekaa Valley. Hezbollahโs Radwan forces ambushed them. A disguised IDF presence in Lebanon, once again.

According to the TV channel, the visit is being prepared against the backdrop of disagreements between Washington and Tel Aviv following the strikes on Iran's oil infrastructure.
The Americans believe that attacks that so extensively affect Iran's civilian population could have the opposite effect and strengthen the position of the Iranian authorities.
An Israeli security source stated that the attacks on fuel storage facilities were intended to send a signal to Tehran to stop attacks on civilian targets in Israel.
Earlier, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that Washington does not plan to strike Iran's energy infrastructure.
