>> The more the #US tries to assert control in the #MiddleEast, the more it gets mired in the quagmire.

If the #Houthis prevail in shutting down Bab-El-Mandeb and #Iran keeps its lock on the Strait of Hormuz, this will be bigger than the #Suez crisis of 1956 and the #OilShock of 1979 combined. #Russia #Arctic

#Iran re-activates the #Houthi arm of its #AxisOfResistence. This time, it's existential for both.

As the #UnitedStates insisted that the #StraitOfHormuz remained open, Iran activated the Houthis at #BabElMandeb, a second chokepoint around the Arabian Peninsula.

In a unified axis operation designed to squeeze #SaudiArabia from all sides, Iran then ordered the striking of major Saudi energy facilities in Riyadh and the Eastern Province with militia drones from #Iraq.

Iran says efforts to revive its interim peace deal with the United States have stalled, leaving the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most critical oil chokepoint, effectively blocked and crude prices exposed to fresh volatility.

#HegemonSuicide is such a succinct description of everything that has happened to #USA since #Trump started his war in #Iran, blew up our ammunition reserves, permanently lost control of #StraitOfHormuz which used to be always open, and established a new precedent for others to challenge #US hegemony elsewhere in the world.

And that is BEFORE the $300 billion #reparations and other demands in Iran's 9-point surrender sheet for Trump.

The global order just shifted. With the latest move in the #StraitofHormuz, the STAKES for international trade and diplomacy have NEVER been higher. In this video, we break down why this escalation is being called a declaration of war on the GLOBAL economy and what it means

Crude oil reserves, US, August 12 report, in thousands of barrels:

Strategic petroleum reserve:
298,694 (-5,845)

Non-SPR:
424,410 (+17,423)

This is unexpected, and even though oil is fungible and the oil market is global, suspect it's tied to Shitstain et al not following normal practice of releasing from the reserve via contracts at market price, but at discounted rates. (Or so I have read. I can't find the story I saw about this right now, or I'd link it.)

Meanwhile, global supplies are continuing to decline:
