LNG shipping rates have gone from $40,000 to $300,000 per day — a 650% vertical climb in less than a week — and the men who ordered the strikes that caused this are still strutting around the Oval Office talking about “strength.” That is not strength. That is the economics of catastrophe unfolding in real time, and it will reach every kitchen table from Tokyo to Turin before anyone in the beltway finishes reading the intelligence brief they probably won’t bother to read anyway.
The Strait of Hormuz — through which roughly 20 million barrels of oil per day transit, representing north of 20% of global seaborne oil trade — has effectively ceased to function as a commercial corridor, and what’s doing the closing is less about Iranian missiles, and more the insurance market, the invisible hand of capital that everyone in Washington claims to worship suddenly delivering its honest verdict on Operation Epstein Epic Fury. Major commercial operators, oil companies and insurers have effectively withdrawn from the corridor, creating a de facto closure comparable in character to the Red Sea disruption — but with far larger volumes at stake. The market has spoken. The war lobby apparently has not listened.
Qatar declared force majeure on gas exports, and sources say it may take at least a month to return to normal production volumes — meaning global gas markets will experience shortages for weeks even in the unlikely scenario the conflict ends today. Read that sentence again slowly. Even if it stopped right now. Even if every bomb stopped falling this afternoon and every missile went cold, the damage is already baked in, the supply chain already severed, the cryogenic infrastructure already in shutdown sequence — because the cryogenic nature of LNG requires specialised storage maintaining temperatures of approximately -160°C, making it impossible to simply store excess production in temporary facilities, and once disruptions occur, restarting operations requires weeks of careful, sequential rehabilitation to avoid thermal shock to the entire system.
Qatar supplies 20 percent of the world’s LNG — and if that’s off the table, countries must scramble for what remains. Japan scrambles. South Korea scrambles. Taiwan scrambles. India, which sources nearly half of its LNG intake from Qatari supply under long-term contracts , scrambles. These are not abstract geopolitical actors — these are the factories that make your semiconductors, the power grids that keep hospitals running, the fertiliser supply chains that feed a billion people, and every one of them is now competing in a spot market that has been stripped of a fifth of its supply overnight. This is what cascading systemic failure looks like before it hits the news cycle.
Dutch TTF futures, Europe’s benchmark gas contract — rose 35% on Tuesday alone, with prices on the week running roughly 76% higher, while the Japan-Korea Marker benchmark reached a one-year high. Europe, still carrying the scar tissue of 2022 when Russia’s war on Ukraine sent the continent into an energy convulsion it spent hundreds of billions surviving, is now staring down a second shock — this one detonated by an ally that drew the target circles, pulled the trigger, and handed Europe the wreckage as a fait accompli — no consultation, no warning, no framework for what follows, just the bill. The shutdown also affects downstream products including urea, polymers, methanol and aluminium , meaning the price destruction moves through industrial supply chains like a slow haemorrhage through every sector that uses energy as an input — which is every sector.

◾On New Year's Eve 2022, several dozen Right Sector militants went to Transcarpathia to the city of Beregovo on the border with Hungary to threaten the ethnic Hungarian habitants of the region:
You live in Ukrainian soil, we all now who you are Magyar. We know who you are, where you live and where your children are.
Today is Zelenskiy himself who is sending a direct threat to the Hungarian president Orban.

For Israel, the USA, and their proxies in the Gulf, every morning is not good, but the night is a nightmare.
As it turned out, Iranian intelligence has a lot of information about the location of Israeli and American offices in the Gulf, and there are even more "Shaheds".
And so far, the coalition can't do anything about it.
@Slavyangrad
According to this American preacher, Russia is about to invade Israel.
Remarkable theory considering the huge Russian diaspora in Israel and the long-standing close relations between the two countries.
Whatever he’s on, it’s definitely stronger than communion wine.

🇮🇷🇰🇼🇺🇸⚡️ — NEW: A U.S. Army Central memo reviewed by CBS News suggests Iranian intelligence likely tracked U.S. troop movements in Kuwait before the March 1 drone strike that killed six American service members at Shuaiba Port.
➡️ The memo said that the U.S. had determined that Iranian-aligned militias used a combination of intelligence capabilities to monitor U.S. troop movements.
➡️ U.S. troops were relocated from Camp Arifjan in Kuwait as part of a plan to move “off the X,” meaning away from a potential target. However, one U.S. military official explained that although the move was intended to improve safety, the target effectively shifted with some of the service members without them realizing it.
➡️ Small quadcopter drones were seen flying around the Shuaiba port in Kuwait and were suspected of conducting reconnaissance ahead of the drone strike attack.
➡️ After the attack, U.S. forces also recovered GPS transponders attached to balloons or parachutes near Patriot air-defense systems, though their exact purpose remains unclear.

Pro-Iranian sources claim it was a F-18.
Single source, for all I know it could be video from earlier losses but interesting….
@Slavyangrad
A military aircraft crashed in Kuwait according to pro-Iranian sources.
See if more details emerge. Remember grain of salt before making any determinations.
If anyone can see anything funny with video or if there is something wrong put it in one of the related comments.

‼️🇬🇧🛩 Britain has sent drone countermeasures specialists to the Middle East — with experience from the war in Ukraine — The Telegraph
▪️The first group has already arrived, and the second is expected to arrive in the next few hours.
▪️The team includes British specialists who worked in Ukraine and studied drone countermeasures tactics with Ukrainian military personnel.
▪️They will advise regional countries on enhancing the detection, prevention, and interception of UAVs.
➖"These are specialists with experience in Ukraine. They will be able to provide recommendations for improving drone detection and targeting systems," a Western official said.
▪️It was also previously reported that the US and Gulf states are considering purchasing Ukrainian drone interceptors to destroy "Shahed" drones.
So they’ve been active in the war.
@Slavyangrad
The War Zone magazine refutes the widespread belief that the US and Israel have managed to achieve complete air superiority over Iran.
According to its assessment, superiority has only been achieved in certain areas, but the US and Israeli air forces do not have complete freedom of action.
Although they are gradually moving to the stage of delivering more precise medium-range strikes, which will significantly increase the total number of targets hit and expand the range of actions against these targets. For example, they can start hitting bunkers.
However, this is associated with new risks, as mobile air defense systems can appear almost anywhere and leave crews very little time to react.
The risk to aviation will be particularly high in eastern Iran, which has largely remained untouched compared to the western half of the country.

Zelensky on the Druzhba Pipeline:
To be honest, I wouldn’t restore it. That’s my position. I said this to European leaders and to the leadership of the European Union. Because this is Russian oil.
There are some principles that have no price.
They are killing us, and we should supply oil to Orbán because he, poor thing, cannot win elections without this oil.

The first drones that flew into Turkey were detected and destroyed by the Russian S-400 system, which Turkey recently acquired.
However, the drones flying towards Nakhchivan airport were missed by NATO's air defense systems.
In this regard, the Turkish Ministry of Defense made a statement that they consider the acquisition of Russian air defense systems, particularly the S-400 air defense missile systems, to be the "most appropriate" in the current operational situation in the region.

🇺🇸🇮🇷"Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base": A major sensation - The New York Times states that "it is likely that the US carried out the strike on the school in Iran"
"The strike on a primary school in the city of Minab in southern Iran became the deadliest episode with the loss of civilian lives since the beginning of US and Israeli strikes on Iran. According to Iranian authorities, at least 175 people were killed. The analysis of satellite images, videos, and social media posts shows that the school building was hit by a high-precision strike simultaneously with attacks on a nearby naval base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps near the Strait of Hormuz.
Official responsibility for the attack has not yet been confirmed. However, statements by the US military about conducting operations in this area and the nature of the damage suggest that the strike could have been carried out by US forces attacking Iranian naval facilities. Analysts consider the most likely version to be a mistaken target identification, as the school was previously located on the base's territory, but was separated from it as early as the mid-2010s."

Three MQ-9 Reaper UAVs of the US Air Force were lost during an operation in Iran, reports CBS News, citing officials.
One of the drones attempted to land off the coast of Iran, but the crash sites of all three devices remain unknown.
Presumably, one UAV was lost as a result of "friendly fire" from the Qatari air defense system.

🇺🇦🇪🇺"Ukraine will have to rebuild its plans in case of EU membership":
Ukraine will not be admitted to the EU by 2027.
"Europe has rejected the idea of 'reverse enlargement' of the EU to accelerate Ukraine's accession, which was promoted by the European Commission. At a dinner of ambassadors in Brussels, diplomats made it clear to the head of the von der Leyen cabinet, Björn Seibert, that member states would not support the model of 'first membership - then integration'. This decision effectively buried Kiev's hope of joining by 2027."
In parallel, there is a stalemate over the 90 billion euro loan for Ukraine - Hungary is blocking the package due to Kiev's refusal to resume oil transit through the 'Friendship' pipeline. Despite pressure from Brussels and a call from von der Leyen to Zelensky, Ukraine insists on time to assess the damage. The draft conclusions of the March EU summit already include support for the loan, but its actual unblocking remains in question due to the Hungarian veto."

Everyone needs to know the extent of what the U.S did.
An unarmed Iranian ship invited to a joint Indian naval exercise paraded its sailors before the president alongside other participants, including the U.S.
At the last minute, the U.S. withdrew from the exercise and torpedoed the Iranian vessel, then reportedly refused to rescue the survivors, leaving the Sri Lankan Navy to recover bodies from the water.

There is no panic in Iran: all shops are open, there are supplies, petrol stations are working, and there are no queues, a CNN reporter said.
@Slavyangrad
An official at the US State Department accused CNN of publishing Iranian propaganda to support the regime, following the reporter's broadcast of videos about daily life in Iran, which showed open markets and demonstrations in support of the regime.
They don’t want anyone showing reality… that would be wrong apparently.

President Roberta Metsola argues international law should not apply to Iran
I'm sure many will debate this. For the European Parliament, international law is the cornerstone, but we must avoid abusing it to justify a tyrannical regime that kills its people, destabilizes the region with its "vassals," supplies Russia with drones against Ukraine, and poses a global threat. If the Iranian regime respected international law as we do, the Iranian people would be free, Jina Masha Amini would be alive, and terror would not have reigned in Iran for nearly 50 years. And Europe and the Gulf States would not have to face indiscriminate attacks.
• Metsola
If the laws don’t apply to everyone equally then it doesn’t at all you cu*t

There are some clever funny people who follow geopolitics. This one is particularly good and seems to have captured the essence of Trumps thoughts.
