Our ""markets"" have become entirely manipulated...a plaything of the insiders to transfer wealth to themselves while convincing the little people that the game is more or less fair.
That's now totally exposed as being a false construct.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that U.S. forces disabled an Iranian-flagged crude oil tanker, the motor tanker Hasna, as it attempted to breach the blockade and proceed to an Iranian port. Following repeated warnings issued to the Hasna by U.S. forces, a U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" launched from the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) and utilized its 20mm gun to disable the ship's rudder.
Which part of the ceasefire does firing 20 mm shells at an Iranian ship and disabling it fall under?

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Per Politico, a senior Gulf Arab official cut through the diplomatic theater with one of the most accurate assessments of the entire war:
"Trump badly wants the war to end, but the Iranians are so far refusing to give him what he needs to save face and leave. And he does not seem to understand that they need to save face, too."
This is the central deadlock that keeps every framework from closing.
Both sides want out. Both sides need a politically defensible exit.
Neither side fully grasps what the other needs to claim a win at home.
For Trump, the win is about ending the war as the dealmaker who stopped Iran's nuclear program.
For Iran, the win is about surviving the war as the regional power that withstood American military force.
Both sides are right.
Both sides have legitimate face-saving requirements.

🚨🇺🇸🇸🇦 BREAKING: Saudi Arabia refused U.S. access to its bases and airspace for Project Freedom, forcing Trump's suspension of the operation...
Per NBC News citing two U.S. officials, Trump surprised Gulf allies by announcing Project Freedom on social media Sunday afternoon without coordinating with them first.
Saudi Arabia was furious.
The Kingdom informed the U.S. it would not allow the U.S. military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan Airbase southeast of Riyadh, nor fly through Saudi airspace to support the operation.
A direct call between Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not resolve the issue.
Trump was forced to pause Project Freedom specifically to restore U.S. military access to the airspace it needs.
The Pentagon was actively lining up additional ships for transit when the operation got halted.
This completely changes the narrative around Tuesday's pause.
The official line was "great progress" toward a deal.
The actual reason was that the U.S. couldn't continue the operation without Saudi airspace and the Saudis cut it off.
Diplomacy may have been advancing in parallel, but the immediate trigger for stopping was operational impossibility, not strategic patience.

First, Iran's oil industry would supposedly implode in 13 days.
Now, Israel is saying that the blockade will need up to 240 days to really have effect.
Brought to you by the same people who have since 1992 said Iran is one year away from nukes.

Israel does not, and will never, hold its soldiers accountable.
This is why they will continue to disrespect religious statues and post themselves doing so.

They refuse to enter the Strait of Hormuz because Iran brilliantly destroyed their primary refueling base.

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament Speaker just posted this in response to the Axios deal report.
Axios has reported an “imminent” Iran deal five times in 19 days.
Five times. No deal.
Same reporter. Same sources. Same White House. Same Israeli intelligence contacts.
$920 million in oil shorts placed 70 minutes before yesterday’s report.
$125 million made when oil dropped. Oil surged back when Iran denied it.

Every few days, we get another report revealing that Iran managed to successfully defend itself against Donald Trump's war of aggression, by destroying the US military bases in West Asia and expelling most of the foreign occupiers from the region (at least in the short term).
This means that Iran accomplished one of its most important goals, while the US failed to accomplish its own -- ie, regime change (like in Syria), or even worse, state collapse (like in Libya).
In other words, Iran won the war.
This fact was covered up, and even lied about, for weeks.
But as this article points out, it demonstrates how arrogant US imperialists seriously underestimated Iran's defense capabilities.
