Carib, things are moving in the right direction, Rubio running at full speed to get Veni back on track, those oil wells outside the "authoritarian-axis" are priceless.
For strange reasons none of the "liberal media" are discussing the pattern on how China/Russia focused on controlling oil supply also at this side....hmmm. |

La juramentada presidenta encargda, Delcy Rodríguez, informó que sotuvo una conversación con la directora del Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI), Kristalina Gueorguieva, tras la reanudación de relaciones con Caracas.
«Le hablé de la necesidad de que Venezuela acceda a sus derechos especiales de giro. Son 5.000 millones de dólares que tenemos en el Fondo Monetario Internacional», dijo en un acto transmitido por el canal del Estado.
Apuntó que esos recursos podrían emplearse en la recuperación de servicios públicos. |

They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to “save face.” People approached me four days ago, saying, “Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.” But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL HAS LOST ITS WAY!
An IDIOT on The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board, named Elliot Kaufman, just wrote an Op Ed entitled, “The Iranians Take Trump for a Sucker.” Really? For 47 years, they have killed our people, and many others, and taken advantage of every President, except me — And what did I give to them, a Country in tatters! Their entire Navy is at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar is wiped out, their Nuclear Labs and Storage Areas were OBLITERATED late one dark June evening by our Great B-2 Bombers, their leaders are DEAD, including General Soleimani, their evil genius who destroyed the lives of so many with his favored roadside bombs, the Strait of Hormuz is BLOCKADED and totally controlled by the U.S., with no Ships allowed to go to Iranian Ports — It is said that they are losing 500 Million Dollars a day because of this — Their Country is an Economic Catastrophe, that is hanging by a thread. Barack Hussein Obama gave them 1.7 Billion Dollars in “Green” Cash, flown in by a Boeing 757 to their leaders, and Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in order to help them on their way to a Nuclear Bomb. Other Presidents did nothing to stop them, a BLIGHT on the Office of the Presidency! But despite all of this, I have a MORON on the Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal writing about me being taken for a “sucker.” Iran certainly doesn’t think so! Neither does anyone else. I guess Rupert Murdoch told him to write it this way, because The Wall Street Journal has lost its way, no longer required reading, just another failing political “RAG!” President DONALD J. TRUMP |

STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP:
Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal. I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other.

A nuclear deal between the US and Iran would be an "illusion" if the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) were not involved, Director-General Rafael Grossi warned The Telegraph on Monday.
"Without verification, any agreement is no agreement. It’s an illusion of an agreement, or it’s a promise, which you don’t know whether it will be complied with or not," Grossi explained, adding that the IAEA would be able to "confirm and certify that what they agree is in reality what is happening.” |

in case of doubt:
Is this the best timed trade of 2026?
Yesterday, at 8:24 AM ET, oil traders bought nearly $800 MILLION worth of oil shorts.
Just 21 minutes later, Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi said the "Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open."
By 9:10 AM ET, oil prices had collapsed to $80 per barrel and hit their lowest level since March 10th.
These same oil shorts made nearly $70 million in profit in less than one hour, according to our analysis.
Truly unusual.

US Vice President JD Vance is expected to leave for potential peace talks with Iran in Islamabad on Tuesday morning, Axios reported early Tuesday, citing three US sources.
Earlier on Monday, US President Donald Trump told the New York Post that Vance and his delegation were already en route to Pakistan, but conflicting sources claimed the vice president was still in the US.
Axios reported that the White House first waited for a signal from Tehran that an Iranian delegation would also be joining. |
