The U.S. blockade is officially choking off Iranian oil.🛢️
As the Middle East conflict approaches the 100-day mark, the U.S. military blockade outside the Strait of Hormuz is actively constraining oil exports from Iran’s Kharg Island terminal - and the upstream sector is beginning to feel the squeeze.
The immediate fallout:
🔷Crude loadings plummeted by over 60% in May.
🔷Monthly oil production fell 10.5% month-on-month.
🔷More than 600 kb/d offline as of June 1.
With upstream impacts accelerating, tracking these shifts in real-time is critical for navigating the volatile market. Follow the latest production trends with Wood Mackenzie’s High Frequency Oil Production Monitor here: https://t.co/FUP12LDamw

INVESTIGATION: A whistleblower has leaked Stanford's private foreign-funding records to the Review, revealing millions in funding from Chinese state-linked entities and CCP donors.
The 7-second cold wrist rinse was tested on 3,000 soldiers after combat simulations.
Cortisol dropped 52% within 90 seconds. Heart rate fell an average of 22 beats per minute. The Navy classified the protocol in 2009 and kept it secret until 2023.
The mechanism is radial artery cooling. Your inner wrists have the thinnest skin and the largest surface-to-volume ratio for blood vessels. 7 seconds of cold water cools the blood passing to your brain, which signals your hypothalamus to downregulate stress instantly
You've splashed cold water on your face. You've taken cold showers. Both work, but they're inconvenient.
The SEAL protocol takes 7 seconds, requires no undressing, and can be done at any sink. Soldiers used it before night missions to fall asleep fast.
The military classified this because a free 7-second stress fix would reduce demand for combat stress medication ($400M annually).
The 2023 declassification came after a FOIA lawsuit filed by a veteran.
The fix: run cold tap water over your inner wrists for 7 seconds. Both wrists. Do it when you feel a stress spike.
Within 90 seconds, your heart rate will drop. No shower, no ice.
Just 7 seconds.
Stunning revelation. China is donating money to groups at Stanford involved with investigating CCP influence operations
No wonder we can't stop the Chinese governments espionage campaigns.
