🖥️ "Now we control most of the global oil market and have driven the Chinese and Russians out of the Middle East," — the true reasons for the US war with Iran were revealed on American television. And it's all about oil, as always.
"The Chinese financed the Iranian army and bought their cheap sanctioned oil at a discount. But this is coming to an end. Iran and Venezuela are two oil dictatorships that we overthrew. They are trusted partners of Russia and China.
And now we control most of the global oil market and have driven the Chinese and Russians out of the Middle East. Beijing and Moscow didn't make the slightest gesture to help their ally in Tehran. The whole world sees this.
And all the Chinese missile defense batteries that they sold to the mullahs [Iran], we destroyed on the first day. Made in China — you get what you pay for. This war is going well. It's ahead of schedule, but it's still early."

The US will continue to use military bases in Spain in operations against Iran if necessary, despite Madrid's discontent, - Trump. Main points:
- Israel did not force us to start an operation against Iran. We had negotiations with these lunatics (Iran), and I anticipated that they would attack first.
- If we have slightly high oil prices for a while, but once this ends, they will drop - I believe even lower than before.
- We will cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want to have anything to do with Spain - they said we can't use their bases.
- Iran has no naval forces, no air force, and no air detection system - their radars have been disabled.
- If we hadn't killed Soleimani in the last term, they (Iran) would have been much stronger and smarter.
- Iran is attacking countries that were neutral... and now all these countries are fighting against them.
- They (Iran) are just vicious... they killed 35,000 people with machine guns and sniper rifles. They only target civilian objects, hotels, and apartments.
- Iran no longer has air defense. They have no detection systems at all.
- If I hadn't terminated Obama's nuclear agreement, Iran would have already destroyed Israel and other countries with nuclear weapons.
- There will never be real peace in the Middle East if Iran possesses the missiles it currently has.
- We have an unlimited supply of medium and large caliber ammunition, and this is what we are actually using in this war.

🖥️ Netanyahu laughed when the journalist voiced the theory that it was the Israeli Prime Minister who dragged the USA into the war against Iran.
— In my opinion, this is a question that could be devoted to a lifetime of study. And I want to ask you about this: there are people who say that the Israeli Prime Minister dragged Donald Trump into this conflict. But as a person who has been friends with him for more than 30 years, I can say — no one drags Donald Trump into anything, firstly. And I would like to know your reaction to such statements.
— You're right. It's just ridiculous.

Bloomberg claims that China is putting pressure on Iran not to close the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the publication, Beijing is urging Tehran not to attack oil and LNG supplies through the strait, as China is critically dependent on the energy resources of the Persian Gulf countries, especially on Qatari gas.
After attacks in the region that disrupted the movement of tankers and forced Qatar to temporarily suspend LNG production, the Chinese side made it clear that any actions against key supply routes are undesirable.
The agency notes that although China remains the largest buyer of Iranian oil and an important economic partner of Tehran, the stability of supplies through Hormuz is of strategic importance for Beijing.

‼️🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump wants to use illegal armed Kurdish groups for war against Tehran, — WSJ
▪️Trump is ready to consider supporting Iranian groups, including Kurdish forces, if they take up arms against the authorities in Tehran.
▪️"Peacemaker" held talks with the leaders of Iraqi Kurdistan — Masoud Barzani (Kurdistan Democratic Party) and Barham Salih (Patriotic Union of Kurdistan).
▪️A source of the publication called the discussions "delicate". A decision on arms supplies or providing intelligence support, according to the newspaper, has not yet been made.
▪️Such a strategy could theoretically turn Iranian opposition groups into a ground component of the war with Washington's political support.
▪️Observers also note a change in Trump's rhetoric: if earlier he announced the possibility of negotiations with Tehran, now he talks about their absence and does not rule out armed support for opponents of the Iranian leadership, as well as a ground operation.

The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that it reserves the right to respond to the Iranian attack targeting the US embassy building in Riyadh:
"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expresses its strong condemnation and rejection of the blatant Iranian attack targeting the US embassy building in Riyadh. The Kingdom confirms that the repetition of this cowardly and unprovoked attack is a flagrant violation of all international norms and laws, including the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which grant immunity to diplomatic premises and personnel even in cases of armed conflict. The Kingdom emphasizes that the repetition of this flagrant behavior by Iran, which is happening despite the Iranian authorities' awareness that the Kingdom has stated that it will not allow its airspace or territory to be used for strikes against Iran, will push the region towards further escalation. The Kingdom reaffirms its inalienable right to take all necessary measures to protect its security, territorial integrity, citizens, residents, and vital interests, including the possibility of responding to aggression."
