BREAKING: Trump calls Netanyahu crazy behind closed doors!

@axios reports that Trump said:

“You’re f*cking crazy.”

“You’d be in prison if not for me.”

“Everybody hates you now.”

“Everybody hates Israel because of this.”

UAE Denies Reports Regarding Visit by Israeli Prime Minister or Receiving Any Israeli Military Delegation

[Gregg Carlstrom @glcarlstrom]

Good piece on the enormous convoy of lorries that is now keeping the Gulf supplied amid the closure of Hormuz:

"UAE supermarket chain Spinneys sent trucks loaded with British foods—including potato chips, porridge oats and children's snacks—on a 16-day journey from Kent in the UK through Western Europe and then Egypt and Saudi Arabia to Dubai." https://t.co/dUaV8h9r9I

[Noosphere @noosphereapp]

“Project Freedom” has been paused, so what now?

After just two days, Donald Trump has halted the U.S. military’s effort to secure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz

What this means for the region, and what comes next, is still unfolding.
