Israel, US Strike Iran After Weeks Of Warning, Explosions Heard In Tehran


Oil prices pared gains on Thursday after Brent crude briefly touched $100 a barrel, as attacks were reported on three more cargo ships in the Persian Gulf and traders reacted to the IEA’s move to release government stockpiles.

International benchmark Brent crude futures with May delivery traded nearly 4% higher at $95.62 per barrel at around 8:05 a.m. London time (4:05 a.m. ET), while U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures with April delivery rose 3.5% to $90.32.

Three foreign ships were struck off the coast of Iraq and the United Arab Emirates overnight, authorities said, the latest in a flurry of incidents in or near the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.

One container ship was struck by an unknown projectile near the port city of Jebel Ali on Thursday, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) center, while two oil tankers were left ablaze in Iraqi waters after having been struck near the port of Umm Qasr, near the city of Basra.

The whole area lacks depth and is susceptible to USVs and UAVs. If the mining aspect of it is true, the clean up itself will be time taking and might involve an extensive clean up OP. The exit and entry points are not the only areas of concern.

Chinese sailors captured footage of Patriot air defense systems in the United Arab Emirates and the moments of Iranian ballistic missile strikes on the US Naval base in Fujairah. It's worth noting that ballistic missiles are a difficult target for air defenses.

Why do you call him as such? I havent watched lot of his videos but he knows enough to explain the history and predict future outcomes of countries based on his knoweldge. Would love to know factual reasons why you call him as such, I'm not trying to argue, just find out the facts here.
Do yourself a favour & watch all his videos or as many as you can & if possible report your findings here & we shall discuss the issue threadbare.

The deeper waters that are used by larger cargo vessels are located northwards and require the ship to sail towards them. The strait is narrow and can be covered by less sophisticated weapon systems.

Airlines worldwide face higher costs as the Iran conflict has doubled jet fuel prices worldwide, outpacing a one-third rise in crude prices and prompting airlines to raise fares and cut capacity.

Again not trying to argue but you were calling him a conman and such, I've watched some parts of some of his videos and he came across as thoughtful lecturer using historical patterns. So since you were calling him out as a conman, please let us know specifically about some quotes, examples etc which would warrant him as such. Broad claims about all Chinese-Canadians being infiltrated don't really hold up without evidence, and I'm genuinely curious what convinced you. No rush, happy to hear your take!

I'd once again urge you to completely disregard whatever I've put out there & encourage you to make up your own mind using your critical skills to arrive at a decision after perusing as many videos as you can of that eminent historian & report your findings here .

We can then discuss the issue threadbare as I mentioned in my previous post. As you can clearly see it's a fair request. No rush , happy to hear your take !

Thanks for the nudge and for keeping it open, I get you're encouraging me to dig in independently, which is fair. That said, I’m not going to binge dozens of hours just to maybe spot something suspicious; I’d rather have a real discussion based on actual points. If there are specific videos, claims, timestamps, or patterns in his content that make you see him as a “Han con man” or CCP-linked operative (beyond just his Chinese-Canadian background), please share one or two concrete examples. That way we can look at the same thing and actually talk it through properly. Accusations like that carry weight and deserve specifics, not just “watch everything and you’ll see.” I’m genuinely open to being convinced with evidence, so hit me with whatever stood out most to you. No rush, looking forward to your take.

Au contraire it's important to view his entire ouevre in order for you to arrive at a well rounded decision. We don't want to make the same mistakes I did , do we ?

It's absolutely essential you view all his videos or as many as you can then link specific points you have to debunk whatever I've put out there with timestamps especially that part where I called him a "Han con man " suggesting he is a CCP / MSS operative or at any rate has connections with them .

I genuinely think you may have a point in contradicting whatever I've put out on that Chinese gentleman & am willing to be corrected with evidence you provide.

No rush , looking forward to your take .

Stark reminder... having a ICBM is a must for any serious nation. A 10K KM range ICBM would have made US to think twice.

A 7K KM range ICBM would have made most of the europe to think twice.

A Rouge Nation like Iran has No Right to have any Nukes

What is the problem that these Iranian Clergy and
mullahs have with Israel

Why do they shout
Death To Israel , Death to America

It is Religious beliefs which make them lunatics

They must be wiped out completely
