🇺🇸⚔️🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇷 The United States reportedly has intelligence data indicating that China and Russia are providing Iran with financial assistance, spare parts, components for missiles, and satellite intelligence information.

This was reported by anonymous sources in the US government who leaked this information to the Washington Post.

I don’t know what the outrage is about. The United States have provide Ukraine with advanced weapons systems and satellite guidance for attacks on Russian cities and the CIA can train SBU units to kill Russian civilians.

And then they get really angry when Moscow and Tehran respond to such aggression.

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 Major commercial operators, oil companies and insurers have effectively withdrawn from the corridor, creating a de facto closure comparable in character to the Red Sea disruption — but with far larger volumes at stake.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.

“Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!” — Donald J. Trump

Only fools. Let us pause on that for just a moment – because the man who bankrupted casinos, the sovereign miracle of managed incompetence, the golden-toilet philosopher-king of Mar-a-Lago, has decided that the working people of America filling their tanks $3.41 a gallon and climbing fast – up forty-three cents in a single week, the biggest weekly crude surge since records began in 1983 – are to consider themselves fortunate. Blessed, even. You are paying for World Peace, peasant. You are funding Safety, serf. Now shut up, get back in your truck, swipe your card, and be grateful the genius on Truth Social has it all figured out.

Qatar’s energy minister not some Resistance blogger, not a professor at Berkeley, but the man who controls one of the planet’s great LNG arteries – looked at what Trump has done to the Strait of Hormuz and said plainly that oil at $150 a barrel could bring down the economies of the world.

The Dow dropped 900 points the day Trump demanded unconditional Iranian surrender. Goldman Sachs issued warnings. The Fed is now staring down the barrel of stagflation – rising prices, falling jobs, 92,000 positions gone last month alone. But yes. Tell us again about the fools.

This was never about a nuclear weapons program, and anyone who has watched American foreign policy for twenty minutes in the last thirty years knows it. The Strait of Hormuz carries a fifth of the world’s oil. Whoever dominates the Persian Gulf dominates the arteries of the global economy – Chinese imports, Indian refining, Japanese industry, South Korean manufacturing, all of it flows or dies by those narrow waters. That is the map that matters. That is what is actually at stake – not some bomb that Iran did not have, but the ancient imperial compulsion to plant a boot on the throat of Eurasia’s energy spine and call it liberation. But the markets are coldly reporting just how much of a fool these merchants of war are.

And the man holding the pen – the self-proclaimed dealmaker, the closer, the genius – has the audacity to call the ones who notice it fools. History will have a different name for him.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷🇨🇳 "Maybe the war in Iran isn’t really about Iran…

Maybe it’s about energy dominance. And the target isn’t Tehran…it’s Beijing.

Most people are missing the real battlefield: not missiles, but oil.

The Strait of Hormuz. A narrow corridor that controls about 20% of the world’s oil supply every single day, oil from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Iraq.

Oil that China depends on heavily. China is the world’s largest oil importer, bringing in over 11 million barrels per day.

Nearly half of China’s oil imports pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and roughly half of its crude imports come from the Persian Gulf. Whoever controls the Strait of Hormuz effectively controls China’s economy.

Even more telling: China buys around 90% of Iran’s oil exports.

Much of it moves quietly through “ghost” supply chains and relabeled shipments to evade sanctions.

So if Iran collapses… or realigns… that flow disappears. Overnight.

From the Suez Canal to the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important oil corridor becomes one connected sphere of influence. And the country most exposed to that shift? China.

Which raises a question most people aren’t asking: What if this isn’t a war for Iran… but a war for control of the global energy arteries that power China’s economy?

What if it’s a war on China’s energy lifeline?"

It absolutely is a war with China as the final target. Supply lines choke points in an attempted to win the new industrial century. Will it succeed? I'd just weigh multi thousand years civilizations that have survived empires and invasions vs. a 250 year old project called America. It's going to get a lot hotter.
