Prophylactic piracy? I’ve heard they’ve gone up in price because of the Iran war and closure of the Strait of Hormuz but…Damn Israel…go buy your own. http://apple.news/ABIRFh-pcQoyXYoeOWwvWLA http://apple.news/Aq-aCtRbkSmeLZF3wqsDHNQ http://apple.news/AhEw4z8fTTpGzNSPtUNZTiA (YouTube &...

http://apple.news/Ai6_B3etvRYWf1MW7FXinuA Iran responded to Washington's latest peace proposal on Sunday, after drones threatened several Gulf region targets and Tehran warned it would not hold back from retaliating against any new US strikes. All? According to state broadcaster IRIB, Tehran's...

Chicken or egg? Palestinian nationalism is good and Israeli nationalism is bad. Beyond that, does it really matter? Can we go with option “C” and say the British? A Qatari natural gas tanker crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday for the first time since the start of the Iran war, heading for...

The Trudeau government’s EV strategy expressed a legitimate ambition, but it does not appear to have weighed seriously the prospect that EV demand was not inevitably going to be governed by hockey stick economics — that is, slow growth followed by a sudden, sharp and sustained increase...

Sometime in the first week of July, it’ll be equidistant between the most recent start of this latest goat rodeo and the U.S. midterm elections. That’s kind of a misleading statement. Hezbollah is a political party in Lebanon and that’s legal, but Hezbollah is also a non-state military...

The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, has said that Washington is expecting a response from Iran to its proposals for an interim deal to end the conflict in the Middle East, as Iran accused the US of breaching the increasingly fragile ceasefire announced last month…& that’s pretty much it at...

In the continuing ceasefire, the Trump administration, sidestepping a widening battle in and around the Strait of Hormuz, said it was anticipating a reply from Tehran on Friday on its latest terms for ending the war. “I hope it’s a serious offer,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a...

That’s why Putin didn’t want Ukraine in NATO then?

How do you protect their Iranian people by bombing the hell out of the civilian infrastructure? http://apple.news/AQoBXVxP3QwqmPf3Ohjw76w

The Pentagon on Friday released a new tranche of files focused on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), or UFOs, as part of the Trump administration’s vow to be transparent on the issue. President Trump ordered the War Defense Department to identify and release documents given the public’s...

Donald Trump’s war in Iran and tirades against Nato allies are accelerating moves to develop a plan B for European security in case the US is no longer willing to help defend allies against a Russian attack. Europe must prepare for sudden vulnerability gaps if the fickle US president decides to...

Any agreement between Washington and Tehran could also help lower tensions in Lebanon, where a separate truce was under renewed strain after an Israeli strike on southern Beirut killed a Hezbollah commander on Wednesday. Is anyone in that neighbourhood? A US State Department official confirmed...

http://apple.news/A9hTK8z9IRsqraSR7AEsWxA Major auto trade groups on Thursday urged the Trump administration to extend a free trade deal with Mexico and Canada, saying it was crucial for U.S. vehicle production as ‌North America faces competition from Asia and Europe. Under USMCA and its...

Just gets weirder. Donald Trump has said that the US is negotiating with Iran despite the two sides claiming to have fired at one another in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday. Speaking in Washington, Trump boasted that the US had "knocked the hell" out of Iran, and reiterated his earlier claim...

http://apple.news/Ab115wni_QpWY3b4xNA_QUQ Phew! Almost sounded like the opposite of a ceasefire there, but apparently not. A ceasefire (or cease-fire) is a temporary stoppage of war or armed conflict (or an excursion?) in which opposing sides agree to suspend aggressive actions. It is a formal...

Anyway, back to Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. and Iran opened fire in the Strait of Hormuz, with each side claiming the other initiated the attack, of course. The renewal of hostilities further imperils the two countries' “ceasefire agreement,” which had already been badly damaged by...

President Donald Trump’s abrupt reversal on his plan to help ships go through the Strait of Hormuz came after a key Gulf ally suspended the U.S. military’s ability to use its bases and airspace to carry out the operation, according to two U.S. officials. Hmmm… Trump surprised Gulf allies by...

Ok. Anyway, U.S. military forces intercepted and incapacitated an Iranian-flagged unladen oil tanker Wednesday that was sailing toward an Iranian port in violation of the U.S. Navy blockade, the service announced...
