Virgins! A US attack on Iran just smoked 50 SENIOR IRANIAN LEADERS

If these were senior leaders in the IRGC, you have to wonder who is left to negotiate with. Seems like the IRGC wants to go down with the ship since there seems to be no progress with the negotiations. So what will probably happen is we will keep bombing for a few more days until there is almost nothing left of Iran’s military and civilian infrastructure. Then we’ll determine that they are not a threat for a generation to come, and leave. As for the Strait of Hormuz, that’s Europe’s, China, and India’s problem. Let them have some skin in the game.

Trump: ‘It’s War’

Trump said Operation Epic Fury was nearing completion of its core military objectives, while warning that Iran would be hit “extremely hard” over the next two to three weeks if it refused to accept terms. He also warned the regime could be sent “back to the stone ages” if it continued to resist.

‘Time Is Running Out’: Trump Warns Iran It Has 48 Hours to ‘Make a Deal or Open Hormuz’ Before ‘All Hell Rains Down’

“Remember when I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT,” Trump wrote. “Time is running out – 48 hours before all Hell will reign [sic] down on them. Glory be to GOD!”

Trump had previously warned that if Tehran refused to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and failed to reach terms, the United States could strike major regime infrastructure, including electric generating plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island — the country’s main oil export hub.

Australia given fuel supply assurances as plans in works for visit by Japan’s prime minister

In short: 

Japan will provide Australia with a normal level of fuel supply as the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked. 

The Australian government is continuing to meet with fuel exporters in the region to shore up ongoing supply. 

What’s next?

Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is planning a visit to Australia, Japanese media is reporting. 

Fuel will continue to flow from Japan into Australia under assurances given during recent talks between the two countries. 

Australia sources just 0.7 per cent of its petrol and 6.8 per cent of its diesel from Japan, with the bulk of it coming from Singapore and South Korea, according to data published by the NRMA. 

Japan is among the top five countries from which Australia sources refined fuels. 

Australia now has fuel reserves equivalent to 39 days’ worth of petrol, 29 days’ worth of diesel and 30 days’ worth of jet fuel. 

More than 50 fuel shipments are on the way to Australian import terminals and are due to arrive over the next month. Continue reading Does Japan Need Mohammedanism?

Trump, Hormuz & the End of the Free Ride

This is the first informed, intelligent assessment of this conflict.

All the US leadership had to do was to act on something no one else was willing do. 


Trump, Hormuz and the End of the Free Ride

For half a century, Western strategists have known that the Strait of Hormuz is the acute point where energy, sea power and political will intersect. That knowledge is not in dispute. What is new in this war with Iran is that the United States, under Donald Trump, has chosen not to rush to “solve” the problem. In Hegelian terms, he is refusing an easy synthesis in order to force the underlying contradiction to the surface.

The old thesis was simple: the US guarantees open sea lanes in the Gulf, and everyone else structures their economies and politics around that free insurance. Europe and the UK embraced ambitious green policies, ran down hard‑power capabilities and lectured Washington on multilateral virtue, secure in the assumption that American carriers would always appear off Hormuz. The political class behaved as if the American security guarantee were a law of nature, not a contingent choice. Their conduct today is closer to Chamberlain than Churchill: temporising, issuing statements, hoping the storm will pass without a fundamental reordering of their responsibilities.

Trump’s antithesis is to withhold the automatic guarantee at the moment of maximum stress. Militarily, the US can break Iran’s residual ability to contest the Strait; that is not the binding constraint. The point is to delay that act. By allowing a closure or semi‑closure to bite, Trump ensures that the immediate pain is concentrated in exactly the jurisdictions that have most conspicuously free‑ridden on US power: the EU and the UK. Their industries, consumers and energy‑transition assumptions are exposed. Continue reading Trump, Hormuz & the End of the Free Ride
