  1. If #US is unable to commit ground troops to overthrow the regime in Tehran or open the Strait of #Hormuz then what does it portend for conflicts in Western Pacific? #Taiwan is not a treaty ally of US, regardless of 1979 Taiwan act. #Iran and #Russia's ability to manufacture drones and missiles is limited. The capacity of #China to build missiles and drones is significantly more.

    This has not gone unnoticed in Asia

  6. 6 #EU nations want to tax windfall profits, apparently Global profits, of oil companies, especially the refiners. Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland and Austria are for for it. Missing from this list are France, Netherlands and Ireland. Apparently cost of living is a factor in EU.

    If only there was a working pipeline which could carry gas and oil to Europe which was immune to closure of #Hormuz.

  11. #TACO Monday

    The D-Day sanctions on #Iran are futile unless #US sanctions #China. US will not do that, too high a price. US may block the sea lanes, to an extent, but it still leaves the Central Asia and Russian corridor to China wide open. Just as the proposed pipelines bypassing Strait of #Hormuz will be built over the next 4-5 years so can new pipelines and rail from Iran to Western China.

    Is #DJT a moron?

  20. #US ended one #ForeverWar in 2020 with withdrawal from Kabul and ended up in two #ForeverWars. One in #Iran and the other in #Ukraine. With no expectations that both wars will be won or will go in a direction which would be beneficial to Washington.

    Meanwhile #US now spends on interest payments an amount that is almost equal to its entire defense outlay.

    Sheesh, talk about jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

    Major #OilCompanies reap massive profits as US and Iran fighting drives energy prices higher

    By CATHY BUSSEWITZ

    NEW YORK (AP) — "American oil and gas giants raked in massive spring profits while fighting between Iran and the U.S. impeded petroleum shipments and consumers around the world paid more for fuel and confronted shortages.

    "The conflict, now in its sixth month, halted most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that previously served as a delivery route for a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas. With global supplies constrained, prices for Brent crude, the international standard, soared from about $70 to above $100 a barrel for much of March, April and May, and at one point reached $126.

    "The money that oil companies accrued between the beginning of April and the end of June could receive extra scrutiny this year. Gasoline, diesel and jet fuel prices climbed sharply during that period, increasing costs for drivers and airline passengers. Supplies ran low in some countries, leading to sporadic fuel rationing in #Australia and government office closures in #Nepal and #SriLanka.

    " #ExxonMobil on Friday reported that its second quarter profits doubled to $14.53 billion, boosted by record diesel production. The oil giant, based in Spring, Texas, brought in $116.02 billion in revenue, up 42%.

    " #Chevron, based in Houston, nearly quadrupled its profits to $12.07 billion and revenue jumped 56% to $70.06 billion.

    "Six of #Europe’s largest oil companies posted combined first-quarter profits of $22 billion, more than 40% higher than last year.

    " 'There are constituencies around the world who are having a very good crisis, and the oil producers are one of them,' said Patrick Galey, #FossilFuels lead at #GlobalWitness, a nonprofit organization that investigates environmental issues. 'When you compare that to the hundreds of millions of people who are struggling with #RollingBlackouts, with #ElectricityCurbs, #rationing, waiting in line for #FoodQueues, or the disruption to fertilizers and the potential impact that that has on food prices, we don’t think that it’s a justifiable price for the rest of the world to be paying.'

  30. #Mojtaba #Khamenei, the current Supreme leader, might be trying to earn street cred and legitimacy using the conflict with US and Israel. Just like Ali #Khamenei did with the Iran-Iraq war of 1980s. He and the #IRGC might have concluded that it is time to escalate till Nov mid terms so as to put pressure on #DJT

    For #Trump what can he achieve in 14-day blitz? Given that the effectiveness of air strikes is going to decline.

    #IranWar #EndlessWar #EndlessWars #ForeverWar #ForeverWars #Geopolitics

  31. So, #MSM is parroting #Trump administration's accusations that #Iran was behind the #Cyberattack on water systems in #Minnesota. Sounds like a good excuse to wipe out #WaterResources in Iran as revenge! Plus, similar incidents have happened in #MN. Who has a big grudge against folks in Minnesota? Not Iran!!!

    Cyberattack targets Minnesota cities' water systems

    "State technology officials say more than 30 Minnesota municipal water systems were targeted in a coordinated cyberattack this week.

    "In at least one case, a city’s well and treatment plant were temporarily knocked offline Monday. Other cities reported that the attack targeted communications and automated operations within their water system — forcing a move to manual workarounds.

    "The attack prompted Minnesota IT Services to activate a statewide cybersecurity incident response involving local, state and federal agencies.

    "Authorities did not say whether they know who is responsible for the cyberattack and did not elaborate on a possible motive.

    "Officials said water in the affected cities remains safe to drink."

    [...]

    "The city of Braham reported that the attack targeted the computerized operating systems for its well and water treatment plant.

    "Mayor Nate George told #MPR News that a water plant operator noticed a problem Monday morning: The city’s water tower needed to draw in water, but the well wasn’t working.

    " 'There was power — but there was no controls, you know, telling the water where to go,' he said.

    "The city alerted #BrahamMN residents to limit water use, to keep the water in the tower from running out. An investigation found that a cyberattack caused the outage.

    " 'They were able to hack into the control system of the of the well and just turn the well off, basically,' George said.

    "Within an hour and a half, city staff got the system back up and running. The city said the attack 'did not alter or cause any issue to the physical water plant or water quality or safety.'

    "The cities of #MaplePlainMN, #PlymouthMN and South St. Paul reported issues with automated controls and communications for their water systems.

    " 'The issue is limited to equipment connected via cellular communications within the system, and crews have continued operating as normal through manual procedures,' the city of Plymouth reported Monday evening.

    "Michael Thompson is the public works director in Plymouth. He said Tuesday that the city has extra staff monitoring the water system while automated operations are offline.

    " 'We plan for these types of events, so we just had to physically go out to lift stations or the water towers, just to ensure they were functioning and running properly,' he said.

    "State officials did not say which other cities were targeted in the cyberattack.

    "Other local governments around the state have been targeted by cyberattacks in recent years, including the city of #SaintPaulMN in 2025 and #WinonaCounty earlier this year. Some school districts have also been affected."

    "State technology officials say more than 30 Minnesota municipal water systems were targeted in a coordinated cyberattack this week.

    "In at least one case, a city’s well and treatment plant were temporarily knocked offline Monday. Other cities reported that the attack targeted communications and automated operations within their water system — forcing a move to manual workarounds.

    "The attack prompted Minnesota IT Services to activate a statewide cybersecurity incident response involving local, state and federal agencies.

    "Authorities did not say whether they know who is responsible for the cyberattack and did not elaborate on a possible motive.

    "Officials said water in the affected cities remains safe to drink."

    [...]

    "The city of Braham reported that the attack targeted the computerized operating systems for its well and water treatment plant.

    "Mayor Nate George told #MPR News that a water plant operator noticed a problem Monday morning: The city’s water tower needed to draw in water, but the well wasn’t working.

    " 'There was power — but there was no controls, you know, telling the water where to go,' he said.

    "The city alerted #BrahamMN residents to limit water use, to keep the water in the tower from running out. An investigation found that a cyberattack caused the outage.

    " 'They were able to hack into the control system of the of the well and just turn the well off, basically,' George said.

    "Within an hour and a half, city staff got the system back up and running. The city said the attack 'did not alter or cause any issue to the physical water plant or water quality or safety.'

    "The cities of #MaplePlainMN, #PlymouthMN and South St. Paul reported issues with automated controls and communications for their water systems.

    " 'The issue is limited to equipment connected via cellular communications within the system, and crews have continued operating as normal through manual procedures,' the city of Plymouth reported Monday evening.

    "Michael Thompson is the public works director in Plymouth. He said Tuesday that the city has extra staff monitoring the water system while automated operations are offline.

    " 'We plan for these types of events, so we just had to physically go out to lift stations or the water towers, just to ensure they were functioning and running properly,' he said.

    "State officials did not say which other cities were targeted in the cyberattack.

    "Other local governments around the state have been targeted by cyberattacks in recent years, including the city of #SaintPaulMN in 2025 and #WinonaCounty earlier this year. Some school districts have also been affected."

  36. #Ukraine by striking shipping in #Caspian Sea showed what the Ukraine war is all about. In case of #Taiwan contingency #China will loose access to sea. It will need Oil, Gas, metals, food, etc. which can be met easily by Russia and Central Asia. With Ukraine in NATO, supply from Caspian Sea, Caucuses, Central Asia and Iran can be interdicted.

    It is a double pincer movement against China, from the western direction
