Opinion/commentary on Trump's international moves and access to the Strait of Hormuz.
@mrwill101188 @Pameladoodleluv @ClayTravis Every move Trump is making internationally has benefited America on multiple levels. You just see the world through a prism of Israel running the world. Now, for example, the Strait of Hormuz will be open for everyone, and Iran can no longer threaten every nation with closing it. And where did everyone go to get their oil once Iran could no longer get theirs out? USA. Trump‘s goal? Energy security and independence. Who was dependent on Iranian oil? China. What was Trump doing last week? Traveling to China to establish their relationship from a position of power and energy independence. On and on, none of which is being controlled by Israel.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent issued a 30-day license allowing purchases of Russian oil stranded due to Strait of Hormuz supply disruptions.
Driven by energy supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz as a result of the Iran war, President Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the U.S. Treasury is again issuing a ‘temporary’ 30-day general license to nations who want to buy Russian oil “currently stranded at sea.” Bessent wrote: “This extension will provide additional flexibility, and we will work with these nations to provide specific licenses as needed. This general license will help stabilize the physical crude market and ensure oil reaches the most energy-vulnerable countries. It will also help reroute existing supply to countries most in need by reducing China's ability to stockpile discounted oil.”
Oil prices stayed stable amid assessments of US threats to strike Iran and concerns over tanker seizures near the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil prices remained stable as traders assessed President Trump’s renewed threats to strike Iran, though he has repeatedly backed off similar promises since an April ceasefire. Ongoing tensions, including US tanker seizures and concerns over the Strait of Hormuz, kept markets cautious. Meanwhile, US crude inventories dropped sharply and large Brent options trades signaled heightened market uncertainty.

NEW | US reconnaissance activity over the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz keeps going. A US Navy E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is active right now over the Persian Gulf. Its AN/APY-9 radar is a UHF AESA with simultaneous 360° coverage, range over 550 km, electronic scanning that can focus on specific sectors. It picks up very small targets: drones, sea-skimming cruise missiles, reduced-signature aircraft.

⚠️ NYT: The US and Israel are conducting the largest preparation for resuming strikes on Iran since the ceasefire The negotiations between Washington and Tehran have hit a deadlock — Iran refuses to limit uranium enrichment and does not give way on the Strait of Hormuz.

In response, Iran conveyed a new counter-proposal through Pakistan, and its spokesperson briefly said: "We know how to respond." https://t.co/gGXJoB030x

Missiles and drones continue to be fired in swarms toward the Strait of Hormuz, rendering it unsafe for commercial traffic.
@Michael07477125 @LeighWolf @PralineTony Absolute devastation of conventional war components. And yet missiles & drones continue to be fired in swarms on a regular basis, making the Strait of Hormuz too dangerous from commercial traffic. And the U.S. appears powerless to stop it. In the Middle East, it's the asymmetric part we haven't figured out in ANY of our regime change efforts there. Trump's effort is no different.

Post calls for uninterrupted ship movements through the Strait of Hormuz and questions potential international opposition to US energy supply disruptions.
@WhiteHouse @VP rhetoric may continue but vacate Strait of Hormuz so commercial as well as energy ships/tankers movement is smooth. Disrupting energies supplies to accede anyone is not good strategy as other economies are being disturbed. Wonder countries may stand against US itself?
Post references multiple Trump ultimatums on Iran and repeated openings and closures of the Strait of Hormuz.

Experts: Iran's resolve and control of Strait of Hormuz put Trump in a bind. Escalating tensions risk disrupting oil supply, impacting global oil prices and financial markets.
Post states that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed due to ongoing US-Iran conflict.
What this says is that Lord Trump's going to double down on his insane war on Iran and so the Strait of Hormuz will stay closed into a long indeterminate future. The mad king is senile and due for a straight jacket.
US-Iran conflict expended significant high-tech weapons and led to closure of the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in global energy price increases.
@RpsAgainstTrump Dumbest war in US history. Blew half of the high tech weapons that take years to replace. Strait of Hormuz closed cause energy price spike worldwide.

Opinion/commentary on Indian public affordability of foreign travel and EVs amid the Strait of Hormuz oil supply disruption.
@GouravVallabh @FortuneIndia 1. How many people in India can actually afford foreign travel and EVs? 2. Why did the Prime Minister ask us to stop buying gold for a year when supposedly the crisis is only the Oil Crisis on account of the Strait of Hormuz Blockade? 3. How many cities in India have a functioning public transport infrastructure? Last I checked, even the core national capital region lacks it. 4. What is the Government doing to strengthen the MSMEs, in terms of measures specific to the present crisis? 5. Why has the Government not banned the export of petroleum products; if oil shortage is all we face? 6. Why has the Government not banned/ restricted/ tariffed imports of discretionary goods from China? 7. Did Sambit tell you the number of zeroes in trillion?
Gulf nations stated they had no prior knowledge of a planned US attack on Iran that Trump claimed they had asked him to pause.
