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.
