"Europe’s oil shock was sold as a tragic consequence of the war on Iran and chaos in the Strait of Hormuz. The story was simple. Blame Tehran, blame geography, tell Europeans there was no choice but to pay. Yet official documents quietly admit that the EU’s direct dependence on Hormuz is limited and that the real impact came through prices, not empty fuel tanks."

"Soldiers talk, and the talk on social media from active duty and retired US Army Rangers and others is largely expressing shock and outrage over the forced resignations of Gen. Randy A. George, Gen. David M. Hodne and Maj. Gen. William “Bill” Green Jr. The word on the street is that General George opposes launching a ground attack in Iran. Before exploring the implications of this, I want to introduce you to these three men."

"On March 24th, elite British state-connected ‘think tank’ RUSI published a withering post mortem of the war’s first 16 days. An in-house “ledger tool” tracking the “intense consumption of advanced munitions” by the US and Zionist entity calculates 11,294 fires over this period, which cost a total of approximately $26 billion to produce. Resultantly, US - and thus Israeli - inventories of long-range interceptors and precision strike weapons “are nearing exhaustion.” And it will perhaps cost double that staggering amount to replenish what has been lost."

Article for those who are interested in the details how the Strait of Hormuz is managed by Iran at the moment. "The Strait of Hormuz has not been shut, and that is exactly why what Iran has done matters more. What has emerged around Larak is not a crude blockade but a controlled passage system, a wartime checkpoint laid across one of the most important arteries of the world economy. Iranian reporting most often calls it the Larak Corridor. At the same time, the broader phrase Larak-Qeshm Corridor is best understood as a geographic description of the lane running through the narrow gap between those two islands inside Iranian waters."

"After the government of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye took power in April 2024, it became clear that his predecessor, Macky Sall (who held office from 2012 to 2024), had concealed enormous liabilities—including hidden loans equivalent to 25.3 percent of GDP—from the Senegalese people and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)."
