Economic Shockwaves Reverberate Globally Amidst Fallout from War in Iran - The Soufan Center As the war with Iran continues into its second week with no clear exit strategy in sight, the global economy remains significantly impacted as oil and gas prices increase exponentially. Iran continues...

After the oil shock, a global food shock. A third of the world’s fertiliser passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

The damage Trump has done to the rest of the world in just over a year is incalculable. Billions wasted, lives lost. Not going to be forgotten.

I have a feeling members of the Trump family have made a lot of money due to insider knowledge.

Oil Prices Tumble After Trump Says Iran War ‘Very Complete’ Oil futures, which surged as much as 31% Sunday night to more than $100 a barrel, have tumbled back down, a stunning reversal that gained momentum after President Trump told CBS that the war he launch...

If true that Trump is signalling an end in sight, then what we’ve learned from this fiasco is that the Iranian regime does not collapse even under intense pressure & the rest of the world can’t endure closure of the straits of Hormuz for very long at all www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Trump: “There is no elections so corrupt as the elections in the United States of America.”

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Honor them so much you couldn’t even run the correct footage.

One of those clips where you really have to watch the whole thing, because reading the most egregious quote in the rant doesn’t fully capture how 1) racist, and 2) cognitively impaired the president is.

Incredibly normal to be banging on the door of the Quakers repeatedly but allowing literal organisations such as Britain first to stalk homes of refugees and domestic violence survivors every weekend.

Totally normal is this government. Not worried at all.

there are like 50 people in the country who want the UK to get involved in the Iran War, one of them is Kemi Badenoch, one of them is Nigel Farage, and the other 48 are newspaper columnists

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Much support for @georgemonbiot.bsky.social tonight. QT was actually watchable this evening, apart from the Telegraph columnist

Democrats Greg Landsman, D-Ohio, Jared Golden, D-Maine, Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, and Juan Vargas, D-Calif., joined Republicans in opposing the War Powers Resolution.
Thomas Massie R and Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio voted yes with Democrats.

Pretty funny that Michael Gove is dunking on me now he’s editor of the Spectator to promote its ‘bias-free’ reporting when as a politician he wouldn’t answer any of my press inquiries on the massive Brexit fraud he oversaw as Vote Leave’s co-convener

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz after meeting Trump: “It is indeed the case that at least the American government, according to my level of knowledge and insight today, has no really formulated strategy about the future civil leadership of this country (Iran).
