🇮🇳 India is on the verge of economic collapse, and almost nobody is talking about it.

Pepe Escobar just laid it all out.

"If I remember correctly, they have less than a month of reserves. I think it's 20 days or something. It's nothing. They are desperate. They depend on Russian oil now."

If the Strait of Hormuz closes, India doesn't have a plan B.

As Pepe explains to Nima, with the blockade, if any tankers to China are interfiered with or harassed Pepe said he has confirmation from a Chinese source that China ‘s PLA will face off with the US navy.

In the end, it seems we are heading towards managed de-escalation.

Well, not really. Baboon of Barbaria sez his blockade stays.

The U.S naval blockade has a huge leakage.

🔹First satellite footage of tankers moving through the Sea of ​​Oman towards the Strait of #Hormuz.

🔹Tanker Trackers has released three days of images from its Automatic Identification System (AIS).

🔹This number only includes tankers with their AIS on and does not include those that have switched off their AIS and passed through.

China long realized it had a "Malacca problem". By 2016, 15m bpd of crude passed thru SoM & SCS b4 reaching North Asia.

To mitigate, it built Central Asian, ESPO, POS1 & KyaukPyu pipelines to get crude/NG over land + North Sea Route.

+ its major SCS island build out since 2013

Let’s get something straight here:
The only country that can blockade anyone in Asia is China. Due to its SCS bases build out + associated infrastructure, it fully controls all the sea lanes across SCS. That means, it can fully block shipping coming into Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines & Indonesia. It can block shipping out of Taiwan, South Korea & most ports out of Japan. None of these places are self sufficient. They all need massive amount of import.

That’s what building this huge brand new navy, largest ever maritime police force, huge missile arsenal & satellite network gives a country.

That means for those that are wondering, China can blockade us from trading with East Asian countries.

If you do not understand why the Houthis & Iranians can blockade but other GCC countries cannot, then you should probably not comment on other countries blockade either. https://x.com/drjstrategy/st/drjstra...54036332326960

Numerous ships making the break for the Strait of Hormuz this evening have made abrupt U-turns and are heading back towards the Persian Gulf.

Over a dozen ships have already turned back.

Just 20 minutes before Trump announced the Strait of Hormuz was open—Someone dumped 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures.

A $760 million bet that oil prices would drop.

Orders far larger than anything else in the market at that moment.

They made a fortune.

But somebody knew the announcement was coming.

This is insider trading at the highest level of government

$760M short on oil. Placed 20 minutes before the Hormuz announcement.

This is the 3rd time.

March 23: $500M short — 15 minutes before Trump delayed Iran strikes. Oil dropped 15%.
April 7: $950M short — hours before the US-Iran ceasefire.
April 17: $760M short — 20 minutes before Hormuz declared open.
The CFTC is investigating.

The ‘peace trade’ was sold to retail. Someone else got out first.
Who knew?

🛎️🇮🇷 Dena Survivors Speak: "The Second Torpedo Hit Our Evacuation Area"

Iranian sailors who made it home are now describing what happened in the water off Sri Lanka.

A second U.S. torpedo struck the zone where crew were actively evacuating the ship. Survivors drifted for 10 HOURS before rescue vessels arrived. Twenty bodies have still not been recovered.

This was not a battle. This was a massacre of unarmed sailors in international waters.

🛎️🇮🇷: Iran's IRGC Issues Statement on Readiness to Restart War with U.S.

Statement:
With unity and coordination, and under the leadership of Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, they are fully prepared, their fingers on the trigger, to respond with devastating and deterrent force to any American or Israeli aggression against Iran.

The readiness of the Army's ground forces, along with the Revolutionary Guard forces, has thwarted potential scenarios for a land or sea attack, or even an attempt to seize the Gulf islands, confirming that any folly by the enemy will be met with crushing blows and a humiliating defeat.

🇮🇷 Three ships have crossed since the Strait of Hormuz "opened". Only one ship coming from the Gulf of Oman has crossed, its name is the "KAIA" and it is going to Iraq.

The other ships that have crossed are two Iranian vessels which were coming from Bandar Abbas into the Gulf of Oman, they are the "DELNAVAZ" and the "ILDA".

🇮🇷🇺🇸 "Without exaggeration, our people, the defenders of the homeland, each and every Iranian behaved in a way that I think our enemies never imagined. The enemy was left frustrated in the plan they had against our Iran."

Iranian FM spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei: For us, this ceasefire is a platform for the complete cessation of war, and in fact, freeing our country from the shadow of war. The repetition of events that started about a year ago is not acceptable to us.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 "Iran's enriched uranium is absolutely not supposed to be transferred anywhere. To the same extent that Iranian soil is important and sacred to us, this matter is also important to us. So this is completely rejected."

Iranian FM spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei on American claims about transferring enriched uranium: The issue of transferring uranium with 20 percent enrichment is not on the table at all. This discussion has never been raised.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 "Whatever is stated by American officials is nothing more than boasting."

Iranian FM spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei on Trump claiming to talk directly with Iranians: It was very clear who the Iranian negotiators were. The American side was also clear. The negotiations in Islamabad were between Speaker Ghalibaf and the Vice President of the United States, mediated by Pakistan.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 "The negotiations of previous periods were focused on the nuclear issue, but now the negotiations are directed toward ending the war."

Iranian FM spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei: Naturally, the subjects under discussion have become broader in scope and different — including the Strait of Hormuz. The good thing about these two days was that very clearly and in detail, perspectives were raised

Professor Mohammad Marandi, an expert on American studies at the University of Tehran, joins Rania Khalek to break down the 10-day Lebanon-Israel ceasefire that took effect on April 17 — and Iran's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz is now "completely open for the remaining period of the ceasefire."

Marandi explains how Iran forced the ceasefire, stating bluntly: "Iran is not going to forsake Lebanon." He also warns that despite the pause, Tehran is actively preparing for a potential second phase of the U.S.-Israel war, one that could drag the global economy "into the abyss."

Israel has not committed a bombing raid, but, is it a complete ceasefire, no:

The reporter indicated that the enemy troops conducted large-scale house detonation operations, adding that the Zionist drones roamed the skies of the towns which lie directly next to the areas where the occupation forces are deployed.

A Zionist air raid on a car and a motorcycle on Kounin-Bint Jbeil highway left one martyr and one injury.

They are also facing something I am not personally aware of:

Zionist newspaper Yediot Ahronot reported that if fighting resumes, Hezbollah is expected to intensify its use of missile-laden drones connected via fiber optics.

The Israeli newspaper “Yedioth Ahronoth” stated that the importance of these drones lies in their resistance to jamming, quiet operation, precise guidance, and ability to cover the entire area of ​​operations of the “army” in southern Lebanon, up to the border settlements.

Yedioth Ahronoth” reported that Hezbollah used this type of drone extensively against Israeli army forces in southern Lebanon, as well as against border targets inside ‘Israel’, which imposes on ‘Israel’ finding a solution to this threat.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Channel 15 reported unveiling a spy case operating in favor of the Iranian security agencies. More than one soldier affiliated with the air defense units are involved, the Zionist channel added.

It will take some time to deal with the entity. Up first is Uncle Scam, who does not live there. Why would he brag about random piracy in the Indian Ocean?

Oh, that's right. The "economy" is just numbers with no connection to reality. Stock markets! More money. Not the real world.

Insider trading like a string of Christmas lights.
