Iran has sharply responded to U.S. threats over controlling the Strait of Hormuz, calling the crisis a “self-made problem” and warning that any blockade would only worsen global disruptions. Tehran insists diplomacy is the only solution, even as it proposes controversial tolls on vessels transiting the waterway. The standoff intensified after remarks by Donald Trump and JD Vance following failed talks. Meanwhile, shipping remains paralyzed, with hundreds of tankers stranded and few willing to enter. Experts warn supply chains, including oil and fertilizer, could remain disrupted for months despite a fragile ceasefire.

Update on the Easter truce:
The situation remains largely calm. Ukrainian drone activity has massively decreased across the frontline, and no rear drone activity is reported. This does not mean all fighting and shelling has stopped, however.
Russian drone activity has also decreased, however reconnaissance drones continue to operate near Vovchansk, Pokrovsk, Chaplynka (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast), Hulyaipole, Ternuvate and Izyum. Additionally, a Molniya FPV drone is flying near Zolochiv, Kharkiv Oblast, and normal FPV drones continue to fly near Slovyansk, although no strikes are reported.

CHINA HAS DUMPED $623 BILLION IN U.S. TREASURY HOLDINGS. NOW IT HOLDS ONLY $694 BILLION - THE LOWEST SINCE 2008. MEANWHILE, CHINA'S GOLD RESERVES HAVE PUMPED FOR 17 MONTHS IN A ROW, TO $343 BILLION - A NEW HIGH. THEY'RE EXITING THE SYSTEM.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — The U.S. has destroyed most of Iran’s regular navy, but Tehran still maintains effective control over the Strait of Hormuz through the IRGC Navy, WSJ reports.
➡️ The IRGC Navy remains largely intact and relies on asymmetric tactics, including fast-attack boats, drones, and sea mines, enabling Iran to disrupt and pressure commercial shipping.
➡️ Many of these smaller, mobile assets are difficult to target and are believed to be concealed along the coastline.
Note: if the had called me, i could have told them this 🤷🏻♂️

🇺🇸❗️Trump admits he has no other cards left but bombing civilian infrastructure:
“The only thing left really is their water, which would be very devastating to hit.”
I would hate to do it, but it’s their water, their desalination plants, and their electric generating plants.
“We could have them all down. And I mean down, like you couldn’t have electricity for ten years…”
You’d probably never be able to build them again.
“I think we pretty much maxed out, other than those few items.“
