IRAN WAR UPDATE: IRAN STRIKE JORDAN, iRAQ AND STRAIT OF HORMUZ

Summary of Main Points

• Iran’s missile strikes and implied US restraint: The host says Iran “last night” launched missiles at multiple targets including Jordan, Iraq, and the Strait of Hormuz. He argues the fact that the US did not respond suggests Washington does not want a kinetic escalation with Iran.

• Expectation of escalation soon: He predicts that within the next few weeks Iran will likely ramp up pressure, especially around the Strait of Hormuz, if recent reporting about tanker activity is accurate.

• Tanker/strait claims questioned: The host notes media claims that many tankers are leaving the Strait of Hormuz, but he is skeptical of the map/evidence shown. He says he will review additional material provided by viewers. He also mentions a source claim (from Iran, “a few weeks ago”) that some tanker movements may be tied to previous deals with Iran.

• October 7 / Israeli intelligence controversy (Unit 8200): The host discusses a new claim that Israel’s Unit 8200 allegedly knew about October 7 “a few weeks before it happened.” He remains agnostic, outlining two competing possibilities:

  1) Israeli intelligence/leadership may have known and allowed events to unfold, or 2) Israel may have been caught off guard, despite being portrayed as overwhelmingly capable.

He also argues that propaganda often tries to discredit resistance movements by portraying them as cooperating with Israel or other dominant powers.

• Critique of propaganda & past debunking: He references his prior coverage/debunking and a past debate involving Rabbi Schmoolie, arguing that some claims around October 7 collapse under scrutiny. He reiterates that even if Israel has significant surveillance, intelligence can still be wrong.

• Energy market impacts: He says Brent crude rose to about $109, framing it as part of a broader context of fuel shortages and escalating costs affecting the US/Europe/UK (including diesel and jet fuel).

• Qatar LNG extension: He reports Qatar has extended its moratorium/force majeure on LNG shipments to Asia and Europe for another month, implying less LNG supply for those regions.

• Iran Supreme Leader remarks: He relays that Iran’s Supreme Leader marked “sacred defense week” and the second anniversary of Hassan Nasrallah’s death, warning against a return to “humiliation,” and urging Lebanese allies/resistance to continue resisting.

• Germany–Russia ceasefire comment: He cites Germany’s foreign minister saying Russia (Lavrov) is not ready for a ceasefire, and he broadly dismisses the logic, claiming Russia can dominate militarily while Ukraine may feel incentives to negotiate.

• Yemen/Ansarollah strikes: He says Yemen continued attacks, including strikes on Jazan (today) and Riyadh (last night), framing them as ongoing pressure on Saudi targets.

• East–West pipeline claims doubted: He discusses claims that the East–West pipeline is returning online, but doubts it is at prior volumes—arguing any reopening may be propaganda and that Saudi output remains heavily impacted.

• Israel–Hezbollah / war claims: He mentions Israeli settler attacks and further claims of Lebanese/Iran-linked resistance activity, including a note that a Hannibal directive is said to have been used. He also references Apache helicopter usage and artillery attacks as part of earlier incidents he discussed.

• Market/bond market confusion: Viewers ask about a supposed bond market crash / changes in the 10-year yield; the host responds with uncertainty about the specific meaning, focusing on whether yields are rising or falling.
