In Tehran today, Iranian Christians gathered for Easter at Saint Sarkis Cathedral.
Iran has one of the oldest continuous Christian communities in the world — over 2,000 years old.
These are the people that Trump wants to bomb “back to Stone Age.”

Energy industry insider in Iran tells me the following, and it is STUNNING:
Before the war, Iran produced just shy of 1.1mn barrels of oil per day, and sold it at $65 per barrel minus $18 discount (i.e. $47)
Today, it produces 1.5mn barrels a day, and sells it at $110 with only $2-4 discount.
And this does not include petrochemical sales that not only have increased, but are now being sold to a larger set of customers compared to before the war.
Moreover, Iran is receiving payments through new mechanisms that bypass the UAE, which were set up after the June war.
In essence, and this is really important to understand, Trump and Israel's war has ended up delivering Iran de facto sanctions relief.
This means that Iran is all the less incentivized to end the war, unless the agreement provides Iran with formal sanctions relief.
