MAJOR ANALYSIS: After spending hundreds of hours fighting against The Foundation for Defense of Democracies in the public sphere across The New York Times, Financial Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, Reuters, Politico, The Hill, and more, the clear evidence of their control over the United States' economic warfare strategy against Iran became undeniable. But as I dove deeper and deeper into tracking this pattern throughout this war on the economic warfare front, I also examined their control across ALL aspects of the Iran War strategy that has significantly contributed to the disaster we find ourselves in today. From CEO Mark Dubowitz, to Senior Advisor Richard Goldberg, and Senior Fellow Miad Maleki, the evidence of FDD's undue influence and control in the Iran War has been laid out for you here today in a deep-dive video complete with extensive sourcing, screenshots, and comments. Please, take the time to watch this video. I'm confident you will reach the same conclusion that I have: An Israeli Lobbying group is running America's Iran War strategy... and failing miserably.

BREAKING: Images are now emerging of alleged American strikes carried out on both Qeshm Island and Bandar-e-Jask. Both of these locations have been hit in the past week by the United States, and President Trump himself confirmed last night that the US is carrying out “little strikes” on Iran. At some point the straw will break the camels back and Iran with say enough is enough. This is a WILDLY reckless course of action from the Trump Administration.

NOW: A security alert has just been issued by the United States for the ENTIRE Middle East. This is not the first time this has happened in recent weeks, however, subsequent reporting in the days to follow each time stated that President Trump was moments away from pulling the trigger. Let’s hope he backs away from the ledge this time too…

NEW: In a long-form discussion with @AnaKasparian yesterday, I dove into the minutiae of the U.S./Iran War, Saudi/Yemen War, and the fairly dark realities of what the United States’ economic warfare (blockade + sanctions) “hopes” to achieve against Iran. From a war that was waged on behalf of a foreign country, to strategy driven by ideological extremists in DC and Tel Aviv, to a primary economic warfare strategy fundamentally predicated on maximizing civilian suffering inside of Iran… This is worth the listen.

MAJOR: New Ansar Allah (Houthi) strikes seem to have struck the Ghawar Oil Field this morning. For context, Ghawar is the largest oil field not just in Saudi Arabia, but in the WORLD. If the damage here is significant… This would be an enormous hit to Saudi Arabia, the United States, and the global energy markets.

BREAKING: The Ukrainians have struck the Kaopotnya oil refinery in Moscow earlier today. They have now struck multiple Russia refineries in recent days after President Trump “claimed” Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop striking energy infrastructure. Yet further damage to the global energy markets.

INSIGHTS: There’s a TON of very obvious signaling taking place right now for imminent massive escalation against Iran. President Trump, just after Camp David, is returning early to the White House (and reported on by Barak…). Bibi Netanyahu is cutting his U.S. Tour a day early, cancelling the Texas leg, and flying directly back to Tel Aviv from New York. All Middle East US embassies have issued STEP alert warning to Americans in the region. This could certainly be a legitimate escalation… but this is a LOT of very public signaling that is textbook TACO Trump. That said… if it’s not, we’re looking at a MAJOR escalation inbound.

NEW: Just in the past few hours, there have been a FLURRY of concerning signals about potential events set to unfold in the Middle East. What first started as a single ominous U.S. Embassy alert in Jerusalem warning Americans in the country of increased risk soon turned into Israel plus Oman. Then the ENTIRE Middle East. Ominous, surely. But then Bibi Netanyahu just dropped the Texas leg of his U.S. tour, flying straight back to Tel Aviv out of New York. Then came Trump. After his recent meeting at Camp David, he is now set to return to Washington TONIGHT instead of tomorrow. Pairing this with the repeated statements Trump has made about his “major decision” approaching a critical juncture, there are alarms BLARING to the wider world. Could this be yet another move of Trump TACO? Certainly. But if it’s not… things could be set to REALLY kick off in the Iran War once again.

It’s worth noting that multiple Emirati government planes have flown into Iran, and subsequently departed shortly thereafter. The UAE notoriously paid Iran $3B to be protected from future missile and drone strikes earlier in the war. While there is currently no evidence to support the claim that the UAE is flying more cash to Iran… this is certainly a viable hypothesis for what is taking place.
