BREAKING: The Iran war is now delivering a massive economic shock to the Gulf, with Qatar facing an 8.6% GDP contraction in 2026, the sharpest decline among the 6 Gulf economies, against 5.4% for blockaded and sanctioned Iran. Kuwait also expected to contract, per IMF via FT.
Both countries have suffered major damage and severe disruptions to their energy infrastructure and export routes, with Qatar forced to halt its LNG production, its main source of revenue and export earnings, because of war damage inflicted by Iran and the difficulty of shipping gas through the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar has slashed government department budgets by up to 30% and cut overseas aid funding by ~85%.
That means US ally Qatar is contracting 3.2 percentage points more than Iran, the target of what Trump called the "MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY."
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
This is false.
Axios claims 40 oil tankers crossed the Strait of Hormuz through the southern Omani corridor last on Friday night, carrying around 16 million barrels of oil out of the Strait.
However, Kpler vessel-tracking data, which uses satellite imagery rather than just AIS status, shows completely zero west-to-east tanker crossings on Friday and zero barrels of oil exiting through the Strait.
Barak Ravid's Axios once again not only exaggerates, but makes the number up.

100% agree. A man can openly promote zina and pornography, recite one Qur’an verse, and suddenly some men say, “Allah will forgive him.” Yet a Muslim sister shows her hands or struggles with hijab and gets called a kafira or “tabarruj queen.” That double standard is disgusting.
No matter how many hit pieces the Jews write about Michael Jackson, it won’t change the fact he didn’t sexually molest children.
The whole situation was a Jewish hit job.
Jewish executives were upset when Michael out bid them for the Beatles catalogue in 1985… (the same Jewish executives who eventually bought it back and Michael’s music after his untimely death…”
But further Jews were very nervous of the power of Michael Jackson held with the public, and especially on the Palestine issue.
Michael wrote a song about Palestine and considered releasing it but was shutdown by his Jewish executives…
This was in 1993… that same year was the year that a failed Jewish dentist first accused him of Sexually abusing his son…
That failed Jewish dentist used a Jewish psychologist to justify his claims using whack job pseudoscience and “interviews with the child.”(as in you get to take the Jewish psychologist word for it.)
Michael was never convicted of any legal wrong doing nor did police find anything incriminating from the investigation. They even strip searched him and the supposed descriptions of his body were not correct.
The Jewish media clobbered him. Calling him whacko jacko and did everything possible to infect the minds of the public.
Michael’s biggest mistake was that he settled that first case out of court. His Jew lawyer talked him into it.
This gave the media all they needed to create doubt for the rest of his life.
Eventually, Michael figured out that it was various Jews that were conspiring against him… thus why he wrote “They don’t care about us” with the lyrics “Jew Me sue me….”
But also why he would go on rants about how the history books are lies (produced by Jews) and even called Tommy Mottola the outright devil. (Converted Jewish music executive.)
At one point that slimy Jew Rabbi Shmuley cozied up to Michael in order to gain his trust. The point of this operation was for Shmuley to then later come out and say without proof, that as a friend of Michaels that he probably did molest kids…
It should also be noted upon Michael’s death, Shmuley immediately released taped conversations with Michael and sold them as a book in order to make money. (Does he sound like a friend or a backstabbing Jew.)
It should also be noted that they used Michael’s own sister to come out and say he was a ped0… but at the time she was married to an abusive Jewish husband and even gave her initial statements from Tel Aviv… she has since recanted all of those statements…
Ultimately as Michael figured out he was surrounded by a brood of vipers he erupted calling Jews “leeches” in 2005… (which was likely secretly recorded by a Jew and on host staff as blackmail and more smearing ensued.”
There is no physical, chemical, or criminal proof of Michael doing anything wrong in relation to molesting kids. It is all “eyewitness testimony” amplified by a Jewish media, started by Jewish charlatans… (many of these folks have made money with the mock up charges and “documentaries I might add.)
The failed Jewish dentist who started the whole charade died “mysteriously.”
Lastly, it should be noted his black doctor was convicted of killing him with drugs, but his Jewish dermatologist got off Scott free… what a coincidence.
Dying for Pakistan is not shahadat. And and and dying for fat FA pass sharabi generals is the funniest thing you could do to make the whole country laugh.
@recuerdame143@BaytAlHikmah1 I didnt even know she did that I just know she made a big drama about Islam lmaooo
You’re allergic to accountability that’s why you become condescending when someone shows you the mirror 😭
