Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):🇸🇦 🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia may have to ask permission from Yemen or Iran to ship its own oil. Fmr. U.S. Navy intel officer Malcolm Nance has been warning for weeks that the kingdom is losing control of every route out. "Whether they have to kiss the ring of a Shia muslim government in Yemen or Iran to move any of their oil out of their own country, that will become unacceptable." A monarchy built entirely on selling crude cannot survive someone else holding the door, and Riyadh will either cut a deal it hates or start a war it has already shown no appetite for fighting. @MalcolmNance

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Every U.S embassy from Beirut to Muscat dropped a security alert at the same moment. Fmr. U.S Navy intel officer Malcolm Nance reads a simultaneous warning like that as Washington bracing for something it plans to start. "It could be an indicator that the United States is expecting to prepare imminent action against Iran, and would expect Iran to retaliate in such a way that it would impact Dubai International, Manama, Bahrain International, Kuwait City, Muscat, Oman." Embassies warn their own people before the shooting starts, so anyone with a flight booked through the Gulf in the next week should probably be watching this closely. @MalcolmNance
