It was obvious since the beginning of the war that the Strait of Hormuz card was only going to be useful against the United States if 1/ Iran had a good relationship with Gulf countries, but it ended up hitting them as well, forcing them to diversify and join the war, and 2/ if IRGC was able to hold it long enough to provoke a global economic crisis which they couldn’t do.

The other important story here is that China will no longer get discounted oil from Venezuela AND Iran

[Jack Bradley @jackgbradley]

The Pentagon ordered Harvard, MIT, Georgetown and 27 other universities until the end of the month to audit their ties to China, Russia and Iran.

Harvard took more than $600 million from Beijing — more than any other U.S. school — and had 140 research partnerships with Chinese military entities.

A Pentagon-funded weapons class at a Midwest university was taught in Mandarin to Chinese nationals.

Dozens of researchers on Pentagon projects later went to work for China’s military.

This is part of the communist playbook: infiltrate higher education for espionage, propaganda, and control.
