Don’t worry Joe! The price of oil ($112/barrel btw) is going to reflect our amazing victory any day now!

If we take UKMTO’s word for it, it’s been over a WEEK since a SINGLE tanker was struck crossing Hormuz… So let’s just all stop acting like UKMTO reflects any form of reality at this point!

NOW: Haaretz, citing White House sources, states that the United States is shifting in favor of a preemptive strike on Iran. The reason? Because Hegseth has new intelligence that was given to him by Bibi Netanyahu after his surprise visit to Israel. You’ve GOT to be kidding me…

For those that saw, here is my alert on my phone for the hail… BASEBALL SIZED HAIL.

NOW: Brent Crude rises above $112/barrel, currently trading at $112.25 and rising. This marks the highest point since May when it reached $127/barrel. What is a key difference between these two months? Well… there was a hot war in May, and this is $112/barrel DESPITE there not being all-out war. … Wtf is this going to rise to if the U.S. and Israel launch all-out strikes and Iran retaliates…

The ENTIRE U.S. Iran War strategy: Civilian suffering. That is all.

MONITORING: Multiple images are circulating just now, including ones that have been independently verified as new, showing smoke columns rising out of the Saudi capital of Riyadh. This is paired with NASA FIIRMS imagery that appears to show a blaze at an Aramco facility in the Saudi capital. It is yet to be totally confirmed that this is a strike on Aramco that has resulted in significant destruction, but it’s not looking good.

NEW: Iran is now threatening to target American bases in the Middle East if vessels continue to transit the Omani Route.

BREAKING: The IRGC is stating that they struck SEVEN VESSELS yesterday in the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf. This is… not all that incompatible with video evidence that has emerged from the region that shows at LEAST FOUR vessels being struck by Iran yesterday. What people need to realize at this point is that the United States is UNDENIABLY forcing vessels to non-report to the UKMTO. If we only relied on UKMTO, we would be living in a fantasy world where ZERO tankers have been struck crossing Hormuz in over a WEEK. … Come back to reality yall. Vessels are getting smashed on the daily here.

BREAKING SAUDI/YEMEN: Ansar Allah (Houthis) spokesman Yahya Saree has announced MORE strikes against Saudi Arabia that were conducted in the last 24 hours, with several being very notable targets: - Saudi Ministry of Defense building in Riyadh - King Fahd Airport (again) in Dammam - Aramco facilities at Yanbu - Abha International Airport (again) While the King Fahd Airport, even by Saudi’s own admission, has been hit at least three times now, and the Abha International Airport half a dozen, it shows the seriousness in which Ansar Allah is approaching their “blockade for blockade” campaign on Saudi. But most notable are the strikes in the MoD building and the Yanbu facilities. Striking the MoD… IN RIYADH, is very symbolically significant for Ansar Allah, and comes just more than a week after AA struck the Aramco HQ in Dhahran that destroyed the Aramco CEO’s office. But the strike on Yanbu… this is an absolutely CRITICAL export hub for Saudi to move product through the Suez. It is worth noting that it has been struck multiple times before, but not with enough damage to cause sustained and crippling disruptions. In short, what we are seeing is an Ansar Allah that can strike across Saudi Arabia at will. From the West coast at Yanbu, to the far East coast at Damman, to the Saudi capital of Riyadh. It’s open season on The Kingdom.
