A fleet of at least 56 visually identified tankers is currently operating in digital darkness to support oil exports from Arab nations neighboring Iran. These vessels transit the Strait of Hormuz to conduct covert ship-to-ship (STS) transfers in the Gulf of Oman; helping ensure that you can still afford to enjoy your summer holiday, even if it is only a day trip.

Israeli Ch 11: The Israeli Army assesses that the drone fired at Israeli forces yesterday in south Lebanon intended to help the Hezbollah militiamen trapped inside the base dug into the Ali a-Taher Ridge escape. Several militiamen attempted to escape in recent weeks and were killed by Israeli fire. Israel assesses that now only 15 militants remain inside the underground base.
Due to US pressure, Israel's political leadership instructed the Israeli Army to halt any offensive actions against the underground base, to the displeasure of the Israeli Army.

🚨 First test of the Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani defense alliance? Shiite channels report that the two Saudi Aramco facilities were indeed attacked.

The Saudi Ministry of Energy announced early this morning that firefighting forces had managed to bring under control a fire at Aramco facilities in the Saudi city of Jizan, located on the Red Sea coast, near the border with Yemen and the Houthis.

This latest list of demands put forward by #Iran's regime's SNSC Secretary Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr is just another example of how there will likely never be a durable diplomatic deal between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic as long as it's in power.

Then do something about it. The €, as a currency, cannot survive without the EU evolving into some form of fiscal union. Nor can Schengen survive if member states such as Spain fail to secure 🇪🇺's external borders while simultaneously regularising millions of irregular migrants.

“Shia’s don’t use suicide bombers” is 100% false

Let’s start here 👇

December 15, 1981 | Iraqi Embassy Bombing | Al-Da’wa Party | Suicide vehicle bombing | 61 killed, hundreds wounded

April 18, 1983 | U.S. Embassy Bombing, Beirut | Hezbollah / Islamic Jihad Organization | Suicide truck bombing | 63 killed, including 17 Americans

October 23, 1983 | U.S. Marine Barracks Bombing, Beirut | Hezbollah linked Islamic Jihad Organization | Suicide truck bombing | 241 U.S. servicemembers killed

October 23, 1983 | French Barracks Bombing, Beirut | Hezbollah linked Islamic Jihad Organization | Suicide truck bombing | 58 French soldiers killed

September 20, 1984 | U.S. Embassy Annex Bombing, Beirut | Hezbollah | Suicide vehicle bombing | 23 killed, approximately 90 wounded

March 17, 1992 | Israeli Embassy Bombing, Buenos Aires | Hezbollah | Suicide vehicle bombing | 29 killed, 242 wounded

July 18, 1994 | AMIA Jewish Community Center Bombing, Buenos Aires | Hezbollah with Iranian support according to Argentine investigations | Suicide van bombing | 85 killed, hundreds wounded

June 25, 1996 | Khobar Towers Bombing, Saudi Arabia | Hezbollah al Hejaz / Saudi Hezbollah | Large vehicle bombing | 19 U.S. servicemembers killed, 300+ wounded

February 14, 2005 | Assassination of Rafik Hariri, Beirut | Hezbollah linked operatives | Suicide truck bombing | 22 killed, 200+ wounded

I think the point has been made, but if there is still confusion, I can continue with the extensive record of suicide bombings carried out by Shia terrorists during the Iraq War, as well.

After violating the MOU by firing on ships, #Iran's regime's foreign minister now says today the Strait of Hormuz's reopening would depend on "other conditions and compensation for the violation of the memorandum of understanding by the United States." The regime will not offer the quiet the Trump administration is hoping for before the midterm elections. It will continue to play games. Now they're not just demanding compensation from the war but compensation over the collapse of the MOU.

Iran FM Araghchi: Talks with Oman on a temporary transit route through the Strait of Hormuz are nearing agreement, but this does not mean the strait will reopen. Full reopening depends on other conditions and U.S. compensation for violations. — Fars

[Faytuks Network @FaytuksNetwork]

IRGC spokesperson says reopening the Strait of Hormuz will depend on the United States accepting conditions set by Tehran.
“The Strait of Hormuz is no longer merely an economic waterway for us; it is a source of power,” he said, adding that the U.S. must stop interfering in ongoing negotiations and accept Iran’s terms for the strait to reopen.

It's important to remember that there is a pro-JCPOA echo chamber. It actually exists. Ben Rhodes told us about it years ago. A lot of money has been poured into building this over the last decade -- and moving it from just the left to the right as well. They fund groups and people in the U.S., Europe and Israel. These people are paid to promote only one policy outcome: Appeasement of a terrorist group running a country and pursuing nuclear weapons. They call it something else, of course.

They wanted the JCPOA and when it was gone they wanted to bring it back. Even now they still do. These are the people who say things like, "It's obvious the administration and CENTCOM don't understand Iran." These are the people pushing a narrative that America already lost when the IRGC has seen its nuclear and missile programs destroyed and now faces total economic collapse and loss of control, while the world moves away from Hormuz and the regime loses its last card.

Notice how they never actually tell you their policy option of choice. They throw stones and undermine. They also have hollow resumes. Some were fired early in their careers and became disgruntled, found income in the echo chamber (I've found one based in Israel). Some are actually true frauds with fake resumes (I've found one who lives in Arizona). But the media takes their quotes -- because it fits the narrative they want.

Just keep it mind. I expect the echo chamber to get very upset about this post. That's sort of the point.

The IRGC isn’t going to reopen the Strait. They want to inflict a political defeat on Trump, and for that, they need energy prices through the roof.

IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi:

Reopening the Strait of Hormuz is subject to the U.S. accepting Tehran's conditions.

For us, the Strait of Hormuz is not just an economic waterway, but a component of geographical and strategic power.
