❗️🇮🇩🇷🇺Indonesia has announced that it intends to purchase 150,000,000 barrels of oil from Russia by the end of this year. In the future, it also plans to buy Russian oil, the value of which has significantly increased due to the aggression of the Epstein coalition against Iran. Previously, the issue was about discounts on the purchase of Russian oil, but now it is often sold at a premium.

❗️🇺🇸🇩🇪Trump ordered the withdrawal of 5,000 American military personnel from Germany.

The decision followed a "thorough analysis of the deployment of forces" of the United States in Europe, the Pentagon said. The troops will be withdrawn over the next six to twelve months, said the official representative of the military department, Sean Parnell.

There are 36,000 there currently.

—❗ 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: Preparations in Israel for the possibility of the United States launching an attack on Iran “soon”, as per report.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 A small but important note about the current U.S. naval blockade against Iran:

I see many OSINT and news channels claiming that the blockade is not effective. They share examples of Iranian tankers evading the blockade, like this one which reached Asia with 1,9 million barrels.

To be blunt, it doesn’t matter if a few Iranian tankers manage to evade the blockade. As long as the MAJORITY are being intercepted, which is currently the case, then unfortunately the blockade is definitely effective, even if Iranian media do not want to admit it.

But effective in one way does not mean effective in another. Is the blockade effective in economically crippling Iran? Yes, although this economic shock won’t be felt until a few months from now. But is the blockade effective in changing Iran’s negotiating position? No.

And apart from that, the U.S. will suffer from Hormuz closure more than Iran in the short term. And that’s what really matters and why we will likely see a new escalation.
