Iran

World Peace Declared (not really). Oil plunges. Stocks,gold,silver, bitcoin all soar. I tell you why​

A truce in the war between Iran and the USA has been declared for two weeks in order to allow time for negotiations. Both sides are calling this a victory. It’s only a temporary ceasefire, but the world is hopeful that some middle ground will be found resulting in peace.

Apparently ships will be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz albeit on Iran’s terms (we do not know what those terms will be).

The oil price fell sharply on the news, stocks, rallied, precious metals, valid, and bitcoin rallied on the news

Its pretty simple We Lost and there is no way for us to Win this skirmish. Therefore, Iran gets a lot of negotiating power.

Figuring out who the real "We" is however, the hard part.

Victor Davis Hanson: Trump Criticized for Strategy He Hasn’t Even Used​

Debate over Trump’s rhetoric on Iran has sparked fresh accusations of “war crimes” from critics. But a look at history—from World War II through Iraq and Libya—shows U.S. presidents in both parties have long targeted dual-use infrastructure in wartime.

The real question isn’t just language, but how modern narratives square with longstanding military precedent. It’s a reminder that context matters when judging strategy and intent.

"Two of the UK's biggest banks, Santander UK and Lloyds, provided accounts to British companies with links to Iran's intelligence services.

Iran evaded Western sanctions by using accounts at two UK banks to move money around the world in an extensive sanctions evasion scheme, according to the Financial Times.

Lloyds Banking Group and Santander UK provided accounts to front companies that were secretly owned by a sanctioned and state-controlled Iranian petrochemicals company, the news outlet said, citing documents.

The Petrochemical Commercial Company's (PCC) British subsidiary (PCC UK) is still operating near Buckingham Palace.

Both companies have been under US sanctions since 2018, meaning that Western banks are blocked from doing business with them."

Despite not being able to find proof, I simply don't believe that this escaped all of British intelligence and all of British government. I believe this to have been an unholy alliance to sidestep the United States. AGAIN.

I'll give this a pretty good grade for getting your message out.

With Iran Setting Limits, Strait of Hormuz Remains Thorny Politically​

Even after a cease-fire, Iran is keeping a chokehold on traffic, forcing countries to cut deals that could put them at odds with the U.S.

For the last several weeks, sailing a ship through the Strait of Hormuz was perilous, given the risk of Iranian attacks, whether by missiles or mines. Now that the United States and Iran have put the war on pause, the voyage may be less dangerous. But it is no less challenging politically or diplomatically.

Two days into the fragile cease-fire, the strait has become Iran’s biggest chip in a high-stakes geopolitical contest with President Trump.

Rather than throwing open the waterway to oil tankers and container ships, as the Trump administration had promised, shipping analysts said Iran was keeping a chokehold on it. And Iran is giving priority to a trickle of vessels from countries that either trade directly with it or are not viewed as hostile to the Iranian government.

I've never been a fan of cRap music.

It was clearly all AI made but the message came through clear as day with some humor thrown in.... though not for the Maga crowd.

Gerald has a few thoughts along the same line of thought, though a very different presentation.

i.e., propaganda

Both sides use it, no doubt about it.

Very interesting interview... lots of hidden history, the real war is not with Iran it's with Davos and The City of London.
