The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the oil and shipping industries for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of Operation Epic Fury, the ongoing strike campaign against Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now, according to sources familiar with the matter who spoke to Reuters.

Dr. Foad Izadi, prominent political analyst and professor at the University of Tehran, said Iran has the capability to close the Strait of Hormuz for “at least six months.”
➤
@IzadiFoad
said “the Strait of Hormuz will be closed for some time until some sort of an economic… financial solution is achieved.” He said Iran wants to be compensated for “all the damages that United States and Israel have done.”
➤ “The days of everybody enjoying cheap oil and Iranians suffering under sanctions, those are over.”

not true... as opposed to Ursula who only answers to satan... Orban and Sanchez have to answer to their electorates... in the case of Sanchez his electorate does not like Trump and in the case of Orban his electorate does not like Zelensky or the 2030 satanist agenda. |

Pakistan says it has launched a naval operation to protect its “energy lifelines.” In some ways expected: oil importing nations in Asia may step in protecting their own tankers.
(Importantly, Pakistan has a defense treaty with Saudi Arabia, and buys oil from the kingdom)

Von der Leyen critica a Sánchez en privado y lo compara con Orban
Según cuenta El Mundo citando dos fuentes comunitarias, Ursula von der Leyen se ha quejado ante su círculo más estrecho sobre Pedro Sánchez. Según la dirigente comunitaria, cuando llega al Consejo Europeo con propuestas tiene que enfrentarse a "dos problemas": "Viktor Orbán y Pedro Sánchez".
La conservadora compara al primer ministro húngaro con el español porque ambos rechazan posturas europeas por la misma razón: tratan de "obtener un rédito político nacional, un beneficio electoral".

La Armada de Estados Unidos aún no ha escoltado a un petrolero a través del estrecho de Ormuz, dijo una fuente a CNN este martes, después de que el secretario de Energía de EE.UU. publicara y luego eliminara un mensaje en el que afirmaba que activos navales habían escoltado a un petrolero a través de esta vía marítima en disputa.
“La Armada de Estados Unidos escoltó con éxito a un petrolero a través del estrecho de Ormuz para garantizar que el petróleo siga fluyendo hacia los mercados globales”, escribió Wright en X sin ofrecer más detalles. El mensaje fue eliminado unos minutos después.
CNN se puso en contacto con el Departamento de Energía, la Casa Blanca, la Armada y el Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica (CENTCOM). |

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright deleted a post on X that claimed the U.S. Navy had escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz to keep global oil flowing.
Shortly after, a U.S. official told Reuters that the U.S. military has not escorted any ships through the vital oil route.
It is also unclear why the post was made in the first place.

| Can you imagine if oil stays online in the Americas and offline in the Middle East. This tells me that some kind of grand bargain between Asian power and the US must be struck in the longer term to maintain hegemony over Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. I say Iran as Iran can take out the entire GCC if pushed. |

Following NetanDracula's orders was fine until crude reached 100 ... had he doubled down it would have been the end of his presidency... Americans do not care about the Ayatollahs they care about gaz at the pump...

Meanwhile back at the ranch ...
The 2026 game plan for Cuba—dubbed the "Friendly Takeover" replaces the failed policy of isolation with a model of "Infrastructure-Led Integration." The strategy centers on using a total fuel blockade to trigger a managed collapse of the Communist Party (PCC) while offering a lucrative "offramp" to the military conglomerate (GAESA).
The Timetable: 2026
Q1 (Current): The Squeeze. Leveraging the Venezuelan intervention, the U.S. enforces a "Resale License" regime. Only fuel destined for the private sector is permitted, starving the state grid and military transport.
Q2: The Inflection. As blackouts reach 20+ hours and the "existential water threat" (similar to the GCC crisis) hits Havana, the U.S. activates "Operation Vigilant Sentry"to manage migration while initiating public "Transition Authority" talks with military moderates.
*Q3: The HTA Model. The establishment of a Hybrid Transition Authority (HTA). A U.S.-Chartered Development Corporation takes "custody" of strategic assets (Mariel, Antonio Guiteras) under a derivative sovereign immunity shield, prepping them for privatization.
Q4: Dollarization & Exit. Formal internal dollarization is legalized to stabilize the currency.
The Result: Cuba becomes a *High-Pressure Economic Protectorate
managed by Washington's capital, secured by a reformed FAR, and governed by U.S. statutory mandates—effectively annexing the economy while avoiding the immigration and sovereign debt liabilities of 51st statehood.

"I don't think the question of talking with Americans or negotiation with the Americans once again would be on the table," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told PBS News Hour in an interview on Monday.
According to Araghchi, the US has soured the potential of future negotiations by repeatedly attacking in the middle of diplomatic talks - first last year in June, and then as the opening to Operation Epic Fury.
"This year, they tried to convince us that this time is different. They promised us that they don't have any intention to attack us," Araghchi said. "So I don't think talking with Americans anymore would be on our agenda anymore." |
