BREAKING: Axios now claims the US, Iran, and Oman are near a Hormuz deal, aiming for a Wednesday announcement, setting up a 60-day interim where outbound traffic still goes through the Omani US-backed southern lane, no fees are charged and naval mines cleared from the middle lane within 30 days.
This directly contradicts Iran's explicitly stated position that "the negotiations are between two coastal states and have nothing to do with others, including the United States," and Iran's newly added demands requiring an explicit US acknowledgment of Iran's right to collect maritime fees, an immediate end to the US naval blockade, the lifting of US sanctions on Iranian oil, petrochemical and gas, and the permanent end of all attacks on Iran. Iran also rejects any traffic through the US-backed southern lane.
The claim also comes as Iran continues to actively strike ships in the US-backed southern corridor, with a third vessel confirmed on fire under NASA FIRMS satellite imagery just captured within the past hours.
This is big.
Despite the Fauci hearing not getting much attention from the Left-wing MSM, it has still been disseminated to the masses via social media, and now it has permeated into sports, which is one of the pillars of American culture.
The truth has broken containment, and now even Disney-captured ESPN is being used to broadcast what they used to consider dangerous “disinformation”.
The entire world saw that cowardly little rat, Fauci, refuse to answer questions for the American People, and now the Covid scam is becoming more and more engrained in the collective consciousness. The Overton Window has shifted dramatically, and now it’s not only acceptable to dislike Fauci, it’s becoming encouraged. People are making “plead the fifth” jokes everywhere, even in non-political spaces.
Imagine showing this clip to someone in 2020. It would scramble their minds. This just goes to show how far we have come in the ongoing informational/psychological/spiritual war.
Truth eventually wins.
BREAKING: A source close to Iranian officials says Tehran has documented a pattern of oil market manipulation tied to Axios reporting and Trump administration insiders, including evidence of a $9 billion insider trading operation linked to Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
The documented timeline of the $9 billion insider profit:
Between April and May 2026, a series of highly suspiciously timed trades in oil futures markets preceded major Iran war and deal announcements, each tied to reporting by Axios.
On March 23, approximately $500–580 million in shorts were placed 15 minutes before Trump announced he was postponing strikes on Iran, oil dropped.
On April 7, roughly $950–960 million in shorts were placed hours before Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran, oil fell 15 percent.
On April 17, approximately $760 million in shorts were placed 20 minutes before Iran's foreign minister announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, oil dropped.
On April 21, around $430 million in shorts were placed 15 minutes before Trump extended the ceasefire, oil dropped again.
On May 6, nearly $920 million to $1.7 billion in crude oil shorts were placed approximately 70 minutes before an Axios scoop claimed the U.S. and Iran were near a "14-point agreement." Oil dropped 12 percent. Traders made an estimated $125 million in profit, while Iran called the May 6 Axios report "the Americans' wish list," and completely false.
A senior Iranian official previously told Drop Site News that Iran privately warned VP JD Vance during Switzerland talks that Kushner and Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations, being "more interested in exploiting insider knowledge to profit in financial markets than reaching a deal."
