Israel and Iran appear to be stepping back from the brink — for now.

After trading direct strikes for the first time since an April ceasefire, both sides have signaled a pause in military operations while warning that any new attack could trigger another round of retaliation.

The latest escalation began after Israeli strikes targeting Hezbollah-linked sites near Beirut. Iran responded with missile launches toward Israel, prompting Israeli retaliatory strikes inside Iran.

The flare-up is also threatening ongoing U.S.-Iran peace negotiations, with President Trump publicly pushing both sides to stop the fighting and pursue a ceasefire, @Max_Gorden reports.

DEA Administrator Terrance Cole has said the latest indictment against the group of 10 is just the beginning of a new phase in the fight against drug cartels in Mexico. He also noted that top Mexican government officials and drug traffickers “have been in the same bed for years.” https://t.co/asheEcPLXp

Fields tell you where oil is.

Pipelines tell you who controls it.

Look at the top map, Fields.
The Middle East is dense with red dots, Russia, West Africa, Brazil offshore.
The oil is there enormous quantities of it.

Now look at the bottom map, Pipelines.

The Middle East is nearly empty of red lines.
Almost no pipeline export infrastructure.
Every barrel leaves by tanker...Through Hormuz.

That is the entire vulnerability of the global oil system.

Fields without pipes are hostage to shipping routes.

Pipes without fields are stranded infrastructure.

The countries that have both and control the chokepoints between them hold the structural power in global energy.

Right now, one of those chokepoints is closed.

And the last important pice is in danger ...shipping🚢
