@thedreydossier This hosted Hamas line is missing the context of the USA asked them to

@GiovanneezNuts @SilentlySirs why? what so much hatred? What do you benefit from such a "knock out" Is there a financial benefit that you will gain or just some retribution to some old vengeance you have for some reason? or is it envy? I am just looking to really understand with open mind as to why?

@theglobal4u where? I think I heard a big one near Dubai Land.

@PulseNewsAlerts @grok are you still refusing to answer questions?

@1humaneRace @YouTube You assumed nothing, yet replied with a Persian & English propaganda video instead of evidence and invented “free Ramadan medical tests” in the UK & Europe. Pure nonsense lie
Then you jumped from a Ramadan obesity claim to “Islam is no good.” Your bias is obvious. I’m done here.

For those who celebrate Eid

As the second day of Eid dawns, I hope you've cherished the joy of the first. May your Eid be full with happiness and shared moments of togetherness. https://t.co/nxwg7lg685

@1humaneRace @YouTube Assuming I am Persian and replying with a propaganda video instead of addressing the argument tells everyone exactly how much sophistication and intellectual honesty is behind your posts.

@FracturedLight0 How do these numbers out of 50% 50% 60% 70% amount more than 100%

@APompliano @binance This analysis didn’t age very well?

@isacadel @midascabal See you didn’t like living there or you couldn’t make it to work. You had some special conditions that didn’t make it work for you now they deserve what’s happening to them because of something happened to you 10 years ago.

@hajrahassan You meant to say not leaving. It is a home and it is very hard to leave home

16/16 Visible costs already support $40B–$60B+ globally (~12 days), adding fuel pain, Israel’s drag, GCC disruption, aviation/shipping chaos, Europe/Asia energy shocks, inflation, stockpile hits, lost output. Far more than $6B — and excludes long-tail bill the world will pay.

[Bashar Hafez @basharhafez]

1/16 GLOBAL SHOCK: The Iran war has already cost the WORLD $40B–$60B+ in just ~12 days.

Energy shocks, shipping chaos, lost output & inflation worldwide.

US direct costs alone: $11.3B in the first 6 days.

The old $6B estimate is too low and unrealistic.

[Bashar Hafez @basharhafez]

15/16 US 2-year yields rose ~16 bps that week; Britain’s ~35 bps, Germany’s ~30 bps. The war isn’t just burning missiles — it’s tightening financial conditions worldwide.

[Bashar Hafez @basharhafez]

14/16 The hidden costs are the nasty ones: stockpile depletion, replenishment delays, higher borrowing costs, delayed investment. Reuters notes lawmakers worried about US stockpiles; bond markets sold off on inflation fears.

13/16 In Bangladesh, Reuters reports LNG spot purchases hit $23.08 and $28.28/mmBtu, forcing gas rationing and fertilizer plant shutdowns. These show the global transmission — not all “war costs” realized yet, but the mechanism is clear.

[Bashar Hafez @basharhafez]

12/16 Europe and Asia are already feeling the energy shock. Reuters says North Asia LNG prices jumped 116% in the week ended March 6 (to ~$22.50/mmBtu highs). Europe’s gas refill costs spiked sharply too.

[Bashar Hafez @basharhafez]

11/16Reuters says some jet fuel prices jumped from ~$85–$90/barrel to $150–$200+. This is not just a Gulf story; it flows into ticket prices, cargo costs, imports, and inflation globally.

[Bashar Hafez @basharhafez]

10/16The rest of the world is paying through shipping and aviation first. Reuters reports disrupted trade routes, stranded cargo, driven-up freight. Airlines have raised fares/fuel surcharges.

[Bashar Hafez @basharhafez]

9/16The conflict has forced thousands of flight cancellations across the region (aggregating to tens of thousands regionally). Reuters notes regional tourism (~$367B annual value) is taking a major hit. GCC losses already multi-billion range.

[Bashar Hafez @basharhafez]

8/16For the GCC, public data are not enough for a clean all-in number yet, but the hit is clearly large. Reuters says airports, hotels, ports, military and oil installations have been hit.
