    Trump states that the crews of tanker ships need to show some guts and keep trying to get through Iran's blockade of straight of Hormuz, although Iran has already struck several tanker ships and several tanker sailors have died.

    I too recommend the Promethean Updates Youtube channel and their Promethean Action website.
    Here's another commentator with astute insights into some of what's going on, in particular at present, into what Trump is up to with the attack on Iran.

    In the following two articles, Burning Bright, on Substack", considers how Trump is dismantling the "never ending contest" between the "radical Islamic clerics headquartered in Iran" and "God's chosen people, the Jews returning to their homeland in Israel". (I exaggerate both sides, reflecting more one of the narratives we've been fed, than the realities of the various people living in those two lands.)
    1. Donald Trump and the Path of the Torpedo -- In a World of Shadows and Stories ... When Is a War Not a War?
    2. Trump's Test -- On the Real War Beneath the Fake One
    The author, Burning Bright, of these two substack essays, is a bit more wordy than would fit easily here on Avalon in their entirety. So I recommend you follow the above links to them. If you don't like wordy analogies to Star Trek events, these essays might not be to your liking on that account.

    As one example of the way Burning Bright is thinking about these affairs, he writes in the first of the above two linked Substack essays:

    === ===
    These actors are not recoiling because American power was deployed. They are recoiling because the deployment points toward a contained, precise conclusion that does not feed the perpetual machine they serve.

    And while Europe fractures, Trump doubles down on explicit references to the operating framework that delivered results before, signaling direct involvement in shaping the next Iranian leadership—not through external imposition, but internal realignment that maintains functional sovereignty while cutting the strings that made Iran an asset for regional destabilization.
    === ===

    Putting this detail, that Trump intends direct involvement in shaping the next Iranian leadership, in my own terms:
    For the last 50 or 100 years, the leadership of both Israel and Iran has not been chosen by the people who lived in those lands, but by some globalists with mansions outside cities such as London. Those globalists were placing black and white chess pieces on the board, using the never ending conflicts they created, from the very borders defined on global maps about a century ago, to control a major global resource - Persian/Arabian petroleum.

    The choice now is not whether Iranians or Trump has deciding control over Iranian leadership. The choice is whether the globalists continue to covertly control who is the Black King on the Iranian squares of their "Middle East" chess board, or Trump overtly ensures that the next Iranian leadership is primarily concerned with Iran's best interests in a more peaceful world of commerce between nations.
    Burning Bright has a quite different writing style than do I; but the above observation is I believe a fair representation of one of Burning Bright's many points.

    Overall, Burning Bright's point is that Trump is dismantling a complex fabric of narratives that has been woven by the globalists deeply into our discourse and institutions. What's actually happening, and what Trump is actually saying, are at the same time seemingly sharply inline with, and sharply contradicting, each of the major narrative threads, which is driving a whole lot of analysts, institutionalists and power players bonkers. "Good!" I say.

    So - a change in the law made in December of 2024 (when Joe Biden was, nominally at least, President), that was made to take effect in two years (that would be December of 2026), to automate the already required registration with the Selective Service (registration is not a draft; a draft would require further legislation to be passed) is being construed as meaning Trump is about to start a draft to fight and die in Iran, now in March of 2026.

    Someone is working over time to falsely twist the reality in order to try to paint Trump in a bad light.
