🇮🇷🇺🇸 The country being "obliterated" is making more money than before the war started...
Iran's oil revenue hit $139 million per day in March, up $25 million from the prior month.
Exports are exceeding the pre-war average.
The discount on Iranian crude shrank from $10 below Brent to just $2.
And Tehran is now charging ships up to $2 million each to cross Hormuz.
The Goldman Sachs data shows something remarkable.
Strikes near Kharg caused brief shipping blackouts, but the moment bombing paused, tankers flooded the terminals and cleared the backlog in massive surges.
The 4-day moving average settled right back at 2.2 million barrels per day.
The economic engine stutters but never stalls.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury lifted sanctions on Iranian oil at sea to cool global prices, effectively subsidizing the enemy's revenue stream.
Trump started this war partly to gain leverage over Iran's oil.
Four weeks later, Tehran is selling more crude, at higher prices, with smaller discounts, and collecting tolls on the side.

"A muslim-majority nuclear state with a Shia minority large enough to give Iran cultural stakes, a Sunni majority large enough to give the Gulf states political comfort, a border with Iran, a defence pact with Saudi Arabia, a strategic partnership with China that Tehran values, a warming with Washington that Tehran cannot afford to antagonise, no American military bases on its soil, a military that proved itself in live combat less than a year ago, a competent political leadership and a foreign minister who has grown into the moment, and a diplomatic tradition of studied neutrality that every party in this conflict has at various points relied upon."
The Zionists have been trying hard to drag the UAE and other GCC countries into this reckless war which is now engulfing the whole region with far reaching consequences for the entire world..
The false rumors, spread around primarily by Zionist media outlets, that the UAE has carried out a retaliatory attack against Iran is another proof that the Zionists and their sponsors are desperately trying to bring in the Arabs and others into this devastating and unnecessary war..
And when the UAE swiftly and categorically denied those allegations, the Zionists sent out their number one supporter in the US Congress, Senator Linsey Graham, to openly request the GCC countries to get involved in the war..
His latest interview on Fox News is revealing (video clip below)..
To understand the real objectives behind the declaration of an all-out war against Iran (and the region), all one has to do is listen carefully to somebody like Lindsey Graham who is close to the members of the “Gang of Eight”, a very small group of congressmen regularly briefed on classified intelligence and privy to the actual war plans that others do not have access to..
At such critically important moments, low-IQ big-mouth fanatic warmongering loose cannon gays come in handy..
They inadvertently give away clues as to what the big picture strategy is..
Linsey Graham is openly brazenly requesting the GCC countries to “get in to fight”..
This sounds more like a desperate call for help, at the expense of GCC countries’ own national interests, than a strategy,..
He is basically asking the GCC countries, who tried honorably and honestly to prevent this foolish war and fiercely warned against it, to fight on behalf of the US and Israel..
He wants the Arab countries to help the delusional Zionists and racist hegemonists to achieve their supremacist goals in the region, including the destruction of the GCC’s own sovereignty and economy..
Their arrogance, condescension and stupidity have no limits..
He makes it crystal clear that their delusional ambition is not limited to toppling the current Iranian government and enacting a regime change in Iran, but it goes far beyond that to include reshaping the Middle East and denying energy supplies to China, which is by far the largest trade partner of the region ..
They must be out of their mind..
He has repeatedly declared that if Iran falls, there will be “a new Mid-East” and Saudi Arabia will normalize with Israel..
He is implicitly indicating that, in the aftermath of Iran conquest and creation of a new Middle East, Saudi Arabia will be browbeaten and forced into normalizing with Israel on terms dictated by the Zionists and the hegemonists..
The war objectives are becoming increasingly clear: 1- devastation and conquest of Iran (short term) —> 2- reassertion of Zionist dominance over Middle East and regional hegemony (medium term) —> 3- chokehold over energy supplies, especially those critical to China, and recovery of global hegemony (long term)..
These fanatic lunatic warmongers grossly underestimate the sophistication and strategic thinking of regional players, while completely disregarding the fundamental interests of major powers such as China and Russia in the region..
Game on!
🚨 🇦🇪 🇺🇸 THE ASSUMPTION OF AMERICAN PROTECTION IN THE GULF IS CRUMBLING WITH EVERY STRIKE
For years, the region’s economic miracle was built on the myth of an unbreakable security shield provided by the United States.
Once the skyscrapers of Dubai start taking hits, the entire logic of trading oil for Western protection will be permanently shattered.

🚨I’m in Dubai, and this is the first time I get this warning, my phone emergency alarm ringing.
And just got reports of four explosions in Dubai
I’m still home conducting live interviews since morning
As a person who has a really bad case of anxiety getting my palms and tea leaves read— even as a joke, were probably the worst things I have done to myself👍🏼
Guys there’s a movie out there which has Jake Peralta, Blair Waldorf, Jess from Gilmore Girls AND there’s Adam Sandler… I’m sorry why have I never heard of That’s My Boy ever before???
