🇬🇧🇷🇺 BREAKING: Putin has sent a Russian warship to escort sanctioned vessels through the English Channel after UK PM Keir Starmer threatened to seize them, escalating tensions at sea between Russia and the UK.
🇺🇸 Iran Will Respond to Assassinations with Assassinations of Arab Leaders Who Help U.S.
Mahmoud Nabavian, Member of Iran’s Parliament:
"If any assault is carried out against our great leaders, none of the kings of the Arab countries or their palaces in the region will remain unscathed. The rulers of the countries in the region must take this threat seriously and prevent the activities of military bases that have been established in their countries."
Trump warned they only have **3 days** before their pipelines risk exploding from extreme pressure. Storage is completely full and they can’t ship normally.
So what’s Iran doing? They’ve started sending crude oil to China **by train** — loading tankers onto rail cars and sending it overland.
Slower, way more expensive, and much smaller quantities… but it’s their only way to keep selling while dodging the blockade.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The War on Iran actually cost the US $50 billion
U.S. officials told CBS News that the real cost of the Iran war is closer to $50 billion—about double the $25 billion publicly cited by the War Department in recent congressional testimony.
The higher estimate includes losses not fully reflected in official figures, such as destroyed equipment and damaged facilities, as well as the need to replace expended munitions.
🇺🇸BREAKING: A White House official stated that the administration is conducting negotiations with Congress regarding the possibility of obtaining permission for a full-scale war with Iran.
🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper just reportedly briefed Trump in the Situation Room on the potential "final blow" to Iran...
Per Fox News, the briefing covered strikes on remaining Iranian military assets, leadership, and infrastructure.
Three target categories that, taken together, describe regime change in everything but name.
"Remaining military assets" means the 60% of IRGC Navy still operational, the half of missile launchers Iran reclaimed during the ceasefire, the two-thirds of air force still functional, and the underground facilities that survived Operation Epic Fury.
Yes, Trump and Melania walked him out personally to say goodbye.
But here's the part everyone is missing:
This is the first time a reigning British monarch has made an official state visit to Washington in history.
Charles didn't send a diplomat. He didn't send a letter. He flew across the Atlantic himself — in person — during one of the most strained periods in the US-UK relationship in decades.
Trade negotiations unresolved. NATO funding disputes ongoing. The Iran situation still unfolding.
And the King of England showed up anyway.
→ You don't send a monarch for a photo op → You send a monarch when the relationship needs something only a monarch can deliver → A personal appearance from the Crown is a message to every other ally watching
The handshake on the South Lawn with both flags flying wasn't ceremony.
It was the UK signaling to the entire world that whatever tensions exist, the alliance holds.
That's what nobody is saying out loud.
When a king travels to you, it means the back channels weren't enough.
And both sides knew it.
Follow before, it's too late, if you don't, you will regret it.
