Genuine question - which market did this move? I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

Trump says 'highly unlikely' he extends ceasefire with Iran

I dont think they need a lot of capacity, just geography, and geography is on their side. Narrow straits, even narrow deep water channel and a couple of gun ships seem to be enough.

Iran fires on tanker near Oman after re-closing Strait of Hormuz

I took a very small punt that Trump was either lying, or not computing all the facts. Looks like it may pay out.

We don't need NATO

Trump says war in Iran is going 'swimmingly' and 'should be ending pretty soon'

They've lost track of the mines!

Iran could consider ships being able to sail through Oman side of Strait of Hormuz without...

made me chuckle

Trump’s Fed chair pick is caught in an unprecedented standoff

More flatulent rambling - trying to save face. China stated that "there is no blockade for China", then sent ships through the strait. He really is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Trump: China is very happy that I am permanently opening the Strait of Hormuz. I am doing it...

Starts a completely unnecessary war, threatening to destabilise the world, then complains when it doesn't go his way.

Trump: NATO wasn’t there for us, and they won’t be there for us in the future!

Agree - pointless if this really is a red line for both. There may be a technicality that the headline misses. I believe some level of enrichment is needed for nuclear power, though this is a fairly low level of enrichment. Research (non-weapon) may ...

Iran Nikzad: No negotiations regarding enrichment are acceptable

They haven't needed to do much. Everyone is witnessing the mental decline of a narcissist in real time (posting memes of himself as god laying hands on an 'Epstein-like' figure - wtaf). The other superpowers are just giving enough rope. Sadly, the ...

Xi Says "Global Order Crumbling Into Disarray" As Trump Turns Up Pressure Campaign On...

Vance seems totally out of his depth with international politics (probably national politics as well). He's not Trumps man, he is Thiel's and obviously still in training. Trump is shrewd, and his lizard brain is probably setting JD up to fail.

Vance says ‘the ball is in Iran’s court’ to move peace talks further, as U.S. blockade takes...

Just to add...the news short doesn't cover it, but it is discussed in the main papers...most of the traffic was to the US, then Germany, then the UK, and the rest to mostly western countries. And, this is just from one country in one year - 500,000 ...

Trump: Anything appropriate and necessary for lethal prosecution and destruction of an enemy,...

Not just Iran...this research is f'ing disturbing. url

Trump: Anything appropriate and necessary for lethal prosecution and destruction of an enemy,...

He really did fafo. Started a war, failed. Took out some weapons facilities, killed some school kids, left Iran in a stronger economic position (de facto control of homuz straight), agreed to a peace deal, partner in crime doesn't agree to it! ...

Trump: I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks

I think there are still steps for the US to escalate without an all-out nuclear war. Putin seems fairly happy with a forever war to create solidarity in a divided nation of (until recently) mostly unemployed, alcoholics. The US spends a huge amount ...

Trump: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back. I don’t want that to...

Unfortunately, Bush and Cheney lowered the bar (removed it completely) after 9/11, fully endorsing torture of anyone that they decided was a threat (including US citizens).

US official: F-15 fighter jet was shot down in Iran; US looking for crew of downed F-15 fighter

I don't think it's arrogance at all. It was the survivors of WW1 and WW2, noting the arrogance of princes and generals, who put the core institutions in place to prevent another global war (NATO, UN, ICC, EU etc.) . People who lived through ...

Trump: I am strongly considering pulling out of NATO - Telegraph

100%... Pretty sure this is just more bluff and bs from Trump. NATO is a US institution that has always had a US General as the military lead. Not just that, but it also "encourages" member countries to keep up to date with US tech to integrate ...

Trump: I am strongly considering pulling out of NATO - Telegraph

Pretty sure you're right about rebuilding. We can assume Iran will be selling oil at levels before Trump's sanctions, and rebuilding infrastructure will improve the economy. I don't think we've seen a regime change, just passing the baton to a ...

Trump: Will be leaving Iran very soon

It's very hard to tell what, if any, objectives have been achieved. It appears that a lot of infrastructure has been bombed, and some of the 'old-guard' have been killed. Now the 'new-guard' are in place, and they appear much like the old. So regime ...
