🛢 US oil reserve empty: perfect time to pick a fight with nation that can cut world’s main energy artery
The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is at its lowest ebb in 40 years, containing 396.7M barrels of crude after Biden depleted it and Trump failed to top it up.
Enter the Israel-Iran crisis, and the potential closure of the Hormuz Strait if the US joins in, which analysts fear could trap 20% of daily global oil consumption in the Gulf, spiking crude prices to $150 a barrel, and leaving the world with a 17M+ bpd shortfall.
💥 Crushing repercussions
🔴 Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill provides for the purchase of just 17.5M barrels for the SPR (assuming prices of about $75 a barrel). At double that, the SPR couldn’t afford to buy even half-a-day’s-worth of US consumption (averaging 20M), or about two weeks without Gulf imports (600K per day).
🔴 If the strait were closed, Trump’s dreams of reindustrialization powered by cheap energy could turn into a nightmare of spiking inflation, shrinking growth and stagflation mirroring the kind triggered by the 1970s Arab oil embargo.
🔴 Europe’s already battered, import-dependent economy would be crushed, possibly slipping into depression.
🔴 China has built up a 1.18-billion-barrel crude reserve, leaving it in far better shape to weather a crisis.

🇮🇷 Even DC neocons admit: Khamenei’s ouster would only galvanize Iran’s resistance
US and Israeli discussions about regime change in Iran targeting Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are a dead end, analysts representing the pinnacle of the US deep state have surprisingly acknowledged.
💬 “The balance of power within Iran in the aftermath” of Khamenei’s removal would “shift in the direction of the military, in the direction of the Guard,” Ray Takeyh, in-house Iran expert at the deeply pro-Israel, neocon hub Council on Foreign Relations, told WSJ.
💬 “Those in charge will be the men with guns. And they will try to bring back some sort of clerical leadership because, after all, this is an Islamic Republic,” Takeyh predicted.
💬 If such a threat were deemed to be imminent, it would grant Iran a “legitimate right to preemptive self-defense under international legal standards,” the religious figures warned.

🚨Palantir’s AI FAKED Iran threat to justify Israel’s strikes
Israel’s surprise strike on Iran wasn’t triggered by hard intel – it was propped up by Palantir’s counter-intel algorithm AI, baked into an IAEA report, writes Alastair Crooke, director of Conflicts Forum.
🔍Here is what he has discovered:
🔴The “Iran’s on the brink of building a bomb” claim – that collapsed almost immediately after the attack – was conveniently teed up by the IAEA’s June 12 “Non-Compliance” resolution.
🔴Since 2015, the IAEA has relied on Palantir’s Mosaic platform, a $50 million AI system that analyzes millions of data points, including satellite imagery, social media, and personnel logs, to predict nuclear threats.
🔴Rather than hard evidence, the system flagged “anomalies” at the Iranian Fordow and Lavisan-Shian sites, rehashing years-old allegations.
🔴It analyzed behavior and metadata, then postulated, or rather guessed, Iran’s intentions.
🔴Mosaic’s algorithmic assessments replaced traditional intel, turning likely innocent data correlations into a green light for war.
👉The result? A pretext manufactured in the shadows to serve Israel’s agenda.
➡️IAEA chief Rafael Grossi later admitted that the bomb claim was overblown – but only after the attack on Iran had taken place.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱THROWBACK: AIPAC doesn’t just control US leaders, they BRAG about it
🗣As the Trump administration threatens to intervene directly in the Israel-Iran war, it’s worth recalling just how deep the influence of AIPAC – the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, really goes.
➡️In February, on the sidelines of the lobbyist’s 2025 summit, AIPAC CEO Elliott Brandt offered chilling clues:
1️⃣AIPAC cultivated influence among ALL THREE of the Trump administration’s top national security jobs: Secretary of State Rubio, National Security Director Waltz, and CIA Director Ratcliffe.
2️⃣All three “have something in common: they all served in Congress” and “have relationships with key AIPAC leaders from their communities,” Brandt revealed.
3️⃣“So the lines of communication are good should there be something questionable or curious that WE NEED ACCESS on the conversation,” Brandt said.
On CIA chief Ratcliffe:
💬 “This is a guy that we had a chance to speak to, so there are a lot of – I wouldn’t call them lifelines, but there are lifelines in there,” the AIPAC chief hinted.

🎯World’s biggest gas field in crosshairs: Qatar Sounds Alarm amid Israel’s Iran strikes
🇶🇦Qatar held urgent talks with major energy firms following Israeli strikes on Iran’s portion of a massive shared gas field in the Persian Gulf, according to Reuters.
🔊Saad Al Kaabi, Qatar’s energy minister and CEO of state-owned QatarEnergy, reportedly urged representatives of ExxonMobil and other giants to press Western governments – particularly the US, UK, and EU – about the rising threat to gas exports from Qatar.
The gas field, known as South Pars in Iran and North Dome in Qatar, straddles the two nations’ maritime border. Qatar began developing its side in the 1990s and has since emerged as a global LNG powerhouse.
❓Why it matters:
🔴World’s largest gas field: Estimated 1,800 trillion cubic feet of gas (about 8% of global reserves)
🔴Economic lifeline: Underpins Qatar’s economy and global LNG dominance
🔴Massive LNG exports: Qatar supplies about 20% of the world’s LNG (any disruption would be a major shock to energy markets)
🔴Multinational stakes: Ongoing expansion includes heavy investment from Western energy giants.

🔥Soros in the HOT SEAT? Subpoena prepped for GLOBALIST PUPPET MASTER
🔊Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) says House Oversight Chair James Comer is gearing up to subpoena George Soros.
The committee will finally dig into Soros’ “interference in our election process,” she said on Newsmax, adding that it’s “long overdue.”
➡️Earlier this week on The Benny Show, she said that Congress has been too scared to touch Soros — until now.
🔍Pointing out that “$270 M went from USAID funding into various Soros-controlled NGOs,” she accused the billionaire of bankrolling protests, flooding Europe with migrants, pushing globalist policies, crashing currencies for profit, and masterminding global chaos.

🚨 ISRAEL BOMBS IRAN’S PEACEFUL NUCLEAR FACILITY
The Zionist regime has brazenly released footage of its latest criminal airstrike on Iran's nuclear facility in Isfahan.
The IAEA, for its part, recently confirmed the targeted site had NO nuclear material, and the facility was for civilian energy purposes.
It was the third strike by Zionists on Iran’s nuclear facilities (the first two were Natanz and Karaj).

✈️Up to six B-2 stealth bombers on route to Guam
The strategic aircraft are being redeployed from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to the US island territory in the western Pacific, according to flight tracking and air traffic control voice comms data cited by US media.
🔍The bombers are reportedly being trailed by four Boeing KC-46 tankers for refueling mid-flight.
➡️The redeployment comes against the backdrop of a broader US aerial and naval buildup in the Middle East, including three carrier groups. The Pentagon previously positioned more B-2s at its Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, about 3,900 km from Iran.

🔄Regime change starter pack? US, Europe plotting Iran’s next leader while talking ‘diplomacy’
US and European diplomats – who, of course, are just 'innocent bystanders' in the Israel-Iran conflict – confirmed that there are secret conversations going on about who might lead Iran after the dust settles, CBS News reports.
☢️They are also whispering about securing nuclear sites, and how to deal with a potential regional environmental disaster if Iran’s nuclear facilities are hit.
Apparently, there’s still a “last shot” for talks to stop the Israel-Iran conflict, insiders told the outlet.
Turkiye, Oman, Italy, Norway – they’re all ready to host US-Iran talks if Tehran chooses diplomacy.
💬 But as Iranian FM Abbas Araqchi put it: “As long as the aggression and attacks continue, there is simply no room for talk of dialogue or diplomacy,” per Fars News Agency.
