Is the US preparing for a second round against Iran?
Chinese MizarVision has shown new footage of the location of Western countries' ships, which are lining up in a common position to continue attacks on Iran.
The French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and the American USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) are currently in the Eastern Mediterranean. At the same time, another US aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN—72), along with its support vessels, is stretching this network further east, towards Iran, and the aircraft carrier USS George H. W. Bush is expected to arrive soon.
This configuration is no longer similar to the simple duty of individual ships. It looks like a well-thought-out multi-layered defense before the main attack. It includes aviation, general logistics, and the ability to constantly control a vast territory from Israel and the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf.
So the hypothesis that the United States needed negotiations only to build up the strike force seems to be confirmed.

Trump's endorsement of Orban was lethal for the second and is another defeat for the first, we'll see how Trump reacts to this, probably he will say nothing just as if he never knew him lol

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who, according to media reports, visited the Ukrainian army positions, “a villain, who returned to the crime scene.”
“Thank you, Boris Johnson, for showing what the forces of evil look like — no one could have done it better. All the filth and slush of meanness, treachery and dishonor in the image he created. Not a drop of love. But just another ‘PR’ on the bones. British money, weapons and hatred have killed a huge number of people,” she said.Читать полностью…
Zakharova said that “Johnson personally participated in the process of canceling the negotiation process” and escalation of the Ukrainian conflict. “A villain who returned to the crime scene,” she said.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇵🇰/🇮🇷 NEW: An Iranian journalist reports, that despite the U.S. reassuring Iran yesterday, it has still failed to comply with implementing a ceasefire in Lebanon and unlocking frozen funds
If these preconditions aren’t met before the end of the day, the Iranian delegation may decide not to meet with the Americans at all.

This is exactly what a live arms race looks like: the scoreboard in military tech is now counted in months, sometimes days, not decades.
The side that survives is not the one with the “best” drone on paper, but the one that can turn battlefield feedback into a new design, a new algorithm, or a new tactic before the other side’s last upgrade has even paid off.
In that sense, Geran‑5 vs. Ukrainian interceptors — and the future deals with the Persian Gulf — are not really about specific hardware, but about the speed of adaptation: either your industry is built into a near real‑time front line — development — front line loop, or you’re just spending a lot of money on yesterday’s threat level.

🚨🇮🇷🇨🇳 Iran War Exposes the Brutal Reality: The US Would Be Crushed in a China Conflict
Weeks into the Iran war, Washington is already straining under missile shortages, air defense gaps, naval pressure, and logistics breakdowns. What was meant to be a limited campaign is revealing deep structural flaws.
From air defense to supply chains, the message is clear: if fighting Iran costs this much, a war with China would be devastating.
Here’s how Iran is exposing US limits—and why China would be far worse:
🟠Defenses exhausted instantly – Iran has burned nearly 40% of US THAAD interceptors in 16 days and slipped drones past air defenses. China’s larger, smarter missile and drone arsenal would overwhelm US systems with volume, precision, and AI swarms that collapse response times to seconds.
🟠Carriers and bases neutralized – Iranian strikes have forced US warships to stay cautious and destroyed an E-3 on the ground. The US ACE doctrine is already failing. Against China's layered A2/AD systems, US aircraft would be destroyed before takeoff—carriers and bases left vulnerable from thousands of miles away.
🟠Munitions depleted, industry unable to keep up – Hundreds of Tomahawks used in Iran are draining reserves meant for a Taiwan scenario. The US can't replace precision weapons fast enough—years of production, days of war. Worse, US weapons depend on Chinese rare earths, giving Beijing a direct chokehold.
🟠China is adapting in real time – While the US is tied down in Iran, China is evolving, learning from every US operation. Beidou provides real-time targeting across vast distances. With advanced sensor-fusion like MizarVision, China adapts faster to US tactics and stays one step ahead.
If Iran is exposing the cracks, China would be the stress test that breaks the system.

❗️UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Kuwait’s Crown Prince have reviewed plans to deploy Britain’s Rapid Sentry air defense system to Kuwait, according to an official statement.
"This defensive deployment aligns with the UK Government’s policy to protect British personnel, interests, and partners in the Middle East, while avoiding escalation into wider conflict," the statement from the Royal Air Force read.
The 2026 crisis will hit Europe harder than a couple of years of the special military operation.
Europe has become the main victim of the Epstein coalition's war with Iran, and it is preparing for the worst period since 2022, as well as sharply increased fuel costs.
The data is interim, but with oil rising by $20-30 (for example, from $85 to $110, which has been observed over the past couple of weeks) and the EU's oil imports at around 10 mbpd, daily spending increases by $200-300 million per day. This will result in €70-100 billion in additional oil costs by the end of the year.
Even without extreme peaks, the growth of LNG contracts and spot prices gives +10–20% to the current base - or €40–70 billion of additional costs. Thus, energy losses alone will amount to €110–170 billion.
The rise in energy prices leads to a decline in industrial performance. This primarily affects the chemical, metallurgical, and fertilizer industries. In a moderate scenario, they could fall by 5-15% (underproduction and capacity conservation), which would result in a loss of €120-200 billion in industrial output.
Additionally, the side effects of inflation would result in another €80-120 billion in losses due to domestic demand. The decline in indices (STOXX 600) by 6-10% per month (according to Reuters) is not only a concern for speculators, who would lose €800 billion to €1.2 trillion on paper. There is also a real effect, underinvestment. It will amount to €50-100 billion.
Even without an extreme scenario, Europe will have to unearth its budgets to compensate for prices and support industry. It all depends on generosity, but €50-100 billion in additional expenses can be seen.
In general, the total losses of the EU from the US war in Iran will amount to €410-690 billion by the New Year. Because even if the war ends quickly, many of the Gulf's production facilities have already been destroyed, and key LNG infrastructure will take a year or more to repair. This means that energy prices will not drop to their previous levels. Additionally, if Trump continues to wage war, with oil prices exceeding \$120 and gas prices fluctuating, the EU's net losses could exceed a trillion euros per year.
By the way, from the beginning of the special military operation to Iran, the transition to new energy rails and the associated production problems (the German company BASF has shut down in Germany and moved to China), the EU's total losses were estimated at €2.0-2.4 trillion in cumulative economic effects. This includes overpayments for energy (€700-900 billion), reduced production (€600-800 billion), and subsidies (€650-750 billion).
Europe has lost about €2+ trillion of economic resources over the past 3-4 years, and the damage could exceed a trillion per year. The situation has become worse because energy has become structurally expensive, rather than temporarily expensive. In fact, Europe is transitioning to a new model of expensive and not always physically accessible energy, with the relocation of energy-intensive industries outside the EU (deindustrialization) and an increased dependence on imports. This includes not only energy but also energy-intensive goods.

The United States has only four bad options for action in Iran, — The Atlantic
_ The United States can conduct a ground operation to seize the infrastructure for oil exports. This will lead to a rapid jump in oil prices amid the risk of further escalation.
_ Washington's unilateral declaration of victory in the conflict and withdrawal of troops while maintaining the risk of a repeat of the conflict in the near future.
_ Resumption of negotiations between Washington and Tehran, but their chances of success are low.
_ Washington's continuation of military operations without a ground operation. The prospects of such an alternative are questionable due to the rapid US spending.

Military actions in the Middle East have triggered a sharp rise in oil payments in yuan, accelerating the re-emergence of the petroyuan as an alternative to the petrodollar, Bloomberg reported.
Iran has begun accepting yuan as payment for transit of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, the agency said. Moreover, China’s Cross-border Interbank Payment System recently registered a record transaction volume in a single day totaling 1.22 trillion yuan ($179 bln), which marks the first time the volume exceeded 1 trillion yuan.
Chinese officials are continuously working to strengthen economic ties with Middle Eastern oil-exporting countries, Bloomberg said. According to analysts interviewed by the agency, the US and Israeli war against Iran, as well as the growing number of contradictions between Washington and its traditional allies, are negatively affecting the dollar's attractiveness and will have a long-term effect, increasing interest in alternative currencies.
Unfortunately as we predicted it looks like Orban lost the elections in Hungary.
The opposition is winning by a large margin after 30% of votes have been counted.
The endorsement of the US administration at a moment it's strangling the European economy through the illegal war against Iran likely pushed all undecided into the opposition camp, was extremely counterproductive for Orban.

For those interested they are: Michael Hicks, an asteroid specialist and NASA expert, Frank Maywald, a leading NASA JPL scientist who worked on detecting life on other celestial bodies, Monica Reza, an aerospace engineer specializing in special alloys, and the former commander (!!!) of the Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Major General William McCasland, Melissa Casias and Anthony Chavez from the same Los Alamos laboratory, director of the MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center Nuno Loureiro, NASA-Caltech astrophysicist Carl Grillmair. The official position of the FBI is dry - "no direct connection between the cases has been established," although the death or disappearance of many occurred under unclear circumstances. The kicker is that many of the victims were related to each other at work, and in most cases, the cause of death was not disclosed, and some of the deceased had their mobile devices erased. "Conspiracy theorists" claim that they were targeted because they had important knowledge about flying saucers, contact, or a looming threat to humanity that was not yet "time to announce." Congressmen are demanding investigations: a too narrow cluster of sensitive technologies, a threat to national security, and hints of Beijing, Moscow (well, of course), or Tehran. Journalists are making headlines and reminding us that former Deputy Director of the National Reconnaissance Office, Christopher Mellon, testified under oath in Congress that "our archives contain images and videos of objects that do not appear to be human-made." I wonder what they've uncovered if this is not a coincidence.

"Putin humiliated Starmer in the English Channel": Russian frigate escorted oil tankers, and the British Navy just walked alongside - Telegraph
The Russian frigate Admiral Grigorovich escorted two oil tankers through the English Channel.
A month ago, British Prime Minister Starmer threatened to seize Russian ships.
The British media write that the prime minister was publicly humiliated: no attempts were made to stop the tankers.
A Russian frigate escorted two tankers of the shadow fleet, while a British warship followed them from a distance.
The British military experts admit that the capture of every tanker is unrealistic. This will require huge resources — Marines, special forces and berths, which simply do not exist in Britain.

The United States, through an intermediary country, proposed a two-day ceasefire to Iran on April 2, to which Tehran “responded” by increasing the intensity of its attacks, the Fars agency reported, citing a source.
According to its information, the proposal followed “the emergence of serious problems for the US Armed Forces due to a miscalculation of the military potential of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
🛢 Dated Brent, the physical North Sea crude benchmark, rose above $140 per barrel today, the highest since 2008.
It tracks real cargoes loading 10 to 30 days ahead and is set daily from actual buyer and seller deals by S&P Global Platts.
Brent futures on ICE are paper contracts for delivery months later. They are driven more by speculation and storage costs.
The gap is large. Physical oil is around $141 per barrel while futures are near $109.
This shows tight immediate supply and war risk pricing in the real barrel market while financial pricing lags behind.

❗️Araghchi: Only Iran & Oman will decide future of Strait of Hormuz
In an interview with Al Jazeera on 1 April, Iran's FM Abbas Araghchi said the waters of the Strait of Hormuz fall under the territorial control of Iran and Oman, and that once the war ends, these two countries alone will determine the future of the waterway, adding it should remain a “peaceful waterway.” Gulf states, including Qatar, have pushed to be included in any discussions over its future.
Araghchi stressed that the strait remains open to most international shipping, stating: “Only for the ships of those who are at war with us, this strait is closed. That is normal during war – we cannot let our enemies use our territorial waters for commerce.” He added: “Ships linked to other countries – because of security concerns, because of high insurance prices, or whatever other reason – they have decided not to use the strait,” noting that vessels from countries such as India, Pakistan, Turkiye, and China have continued transiting after coordinating with Tehran.
🇺🇸🇸🇦 The US State Department warned US citizens in Saudi Arabia that it is “tracking reports of threats against locations where American citizens gather,” noting that “hotels and other gathering points including U.S. businesses and U.S. educational institutions may be potential targets.”
