    The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps fired on at least one ship in the waters near Oman after Tehran again closed the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization. Two IRGC gunboats approached a tanker about 20 nautical miles northeast of the Gulf country around 1 p.m. local time — and opened fire unprovoked, the tanker’s master reported. Audio recordings indicate that two Indian vessels were forced back out of the strait following the gunfire. One of those ships was an Indian-flagged VLCC supertanker carrying 2 million barrels of Iraqi oil, according to an X account ... (full story)

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

Its our oil and waters - India better follow our rules!
- India is BRICS partner, but we will not allow anyone to sabotage our victory over big satan
- India benefit if our whole region gets decolonized
- India have received preferred treatment and these ships moved without coordinating with the controllers of the strait, the IRGC
- These ships most likely belong to Adani group(not confirmed, just speculating) who is a zionist puppet that broke the rules on purpose - Adani is enemy of Indians too!

This Riz guy is part of the Iraqi Hashd al-Sha’bi militant group supported by the Iran's terrorist regime.
He and his co-criminals get paid directly by the Mullahs and that is where his staunch support for their regime comes from.
Iran isn't his oil and waters. It is his source of free funds.
If India or any nation doesn't fall inline with their demands, they don't hesitate to burn them down just like what they are doing to the Muslim Arab countries around them. India will not be an exception as you can tell by Mr. proxy on payroll's tone.
Best thing is to stay alert and vigilant because you never know when/if they will backstab your country too.

He is part of Islamic Republic propagandists. Iran is not equal to Islamic republic. We want to get rid of this regime. We want to be a normal member of global society.

The don’t have the legal right to close the strait and they certainly don’t have the legal right to fire on civilian oil tankers (something Iran and its proxies have been doing for decades).

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.

Weekend vs Week-days
- this will go on and on and on
- but digital market prices cannot pump petrol at the stations
--- Asia is paying 220$ per barrel, doubling the international digital price
---- Reasons: insurance, security, availability

Only way out is a deal with Iran and respect our region - Iran is decolonizing the global south as we speak.

Trying to be positive, when it comes to orange man simply can be translated as:
I am going to continue to lie as this is one of the best "qualities" defining me, in order to keep things looking good, he is handling the situation pretty well, keeping the markets stay relatively quite and high and he is winning the war as no other president in US.
Pretty much a clown show.
