That might be, and if so, it sounds a bit more like a money laundering operation that uses Egypt as the front.
It reminds me of the old "Wheel Of Fortune" where the players did not get to keep the money, but had to buy prizes from a gallery of crap. "I'll buy the ceramic Dalmation and take the rest in a Spiegel gift certificate."
"One you buy a prize, it's yours to keep!"

Those israelis are busy little beavers, hijacking planes and burning Mosques, but if we end all aid to Israel, peace will return to the middle east...
 
The truth means nothing to those who are too blind to recognize it.



The initial investigation into the attempted hijacking of the FlyDubai flight from the UAE to Israel found that the co-pilot went through religious Islamic radicalization in recent months, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News Thursday.

Why it matters: Netanyahu's remarks, confirmed by an Israeli intelligence official and people who worked with the co-pilot, strengthen the possibility that the incident was a terrorist attack.




Driving the news: The investigation is being led by the Saudi security services, which have been interrogating the co-pilot who allegedly attacked the other pilot while the plane was en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv.

The FlyDubai flight was chosen specifically for not only who was onboard, but the flight number as well. FZ-1073

October 7, 3 years after that day.

The plane made a sharp turn and the flight path led directly to one of our bases in Jordan. It's possible the FO was going to fly below the ridgeline of the mountains to avoid radar and crash the plane into an American base.

OR, think about this, fly the plane into Israel where the Israeli air force would have had to shoot down the plane. Think of the implications of that.

These radical Islamists are diabolical.

 


🚨 BREAKING: Iran’s currency just hit another stunning all-time low of 2.7 MILLION RIAL to **$1** USD

Let that sink in.

The Islamists running Iran are absolutely cooking their own economy

This comes as Scott Bessent says this week they will have NO OIL on the water…

So no oil and a worthless currency with rampant inflation.

RECIPE FOR COLLAPSE. Trump has the cards.
 

The China factor in the Iran war​

The war between the United States and Iran is increasingly becoming more than a confrontation between Washington and Tehran. A second contest is developing behind it. China is not fighting the United States directly, but its economic, technological and diplomatic links with Iran are complicating Washington’s strategy.

This raises a larger question: Is the Iran war becoming an indirect front in the wider US-China rivalry?

“While operational security precluded us from confirming the movement of our assets and forces in real-time, we can acknowledge now that all US bombers that were deployed to RAF Fairford have re-deployed to their home stations in the United States,” a Pentagon spokesman wrote in an email.

Shippers are offering sailors up to $25,000 a trip to sneak oil out of the Gulf​

Oil is pouring out of the Persian Gulf at the fastest rate since the start of the Iran war, even as a recent uptick in attacks threatens the flow. The cost of getting it out is eye-watering: up to $40 million for a multiday trip.

For Gulf oil producers, it is worth it. Leaving the oil stranded is still economically worse than taking on the freight cost and selling oil at thinner margins.

Regarding the foiled terrorists attack on raf fairford, there’s an amusing alternative explanation.

They were just a bunch of scallys from London who specialise in stealing diesel from remote farms .
The vans had empty oil drums in them and one of the vans had a sign saying cheap fuel deliveries ……

So yeah it suited Trump to use it as an excuse to pull the B1’s and there may even have been credible intel that Irans missiles can actually reach uk but the Uk plod weren’t buying into the terrorist nonsense and released them on bail

If oil is really pouring out faster than before the attacks on Iran, it doesn’t make sense that they would pay an absolute fortune to ship the stuff .

Strait of Hormuz
Strait of Trump
Or Schrodingers straight

But we don't get very much, if any oil from through the Strait.

Or are you saying we should just take it from there?

Maybe what we need is export ban on diesel.
