🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Record $1.33 million a day to send a tanker through Hormuz
The cost of chartering an oil tanker for a passage through the Strait of Hormuz has hit the highest level in history, $1.33 million per day, the Financial Times reports.
Shipowners are now paying crews like soldiers of fortune to make the run past Iran:
➡️Tanker captains are being offered $100,000 a month, plus bonuses of up to $50,000 for each passage
➡️Ordinary sailors are being offered four to six times their usual pay
➡️Normally, captains working the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman earn about $15,000 a month, and crew members from $1,500
One industry representative said seafarers are now “almost viewed as combat mercenaries” because of the risks involved.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷⚡️ — The Pentagon has instructed U.S. Central Command to finalize preparations for a possible resumption of major combat operations against Iran, according to Axios, citing U.S. officials.
No date has been set, and President Trump has not made a final decision. However, U.S. and Israeli sources say renewed strikes could begin before the November 3 U.S. midterms, potentially even before Israel’s elections a week earlier.
Any renewed campaign is expected to involve large-scale U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iranian energy facilities, infrastructure and nuclear sites, with both militaries likely participating.
We will probably see oil at $150 a barrel next month if these dolts are stupid enough to start up the war again, and Iran will pull out their most effective anti-ship missiles. Guarantee they sink at least 1 USN vessel.

I’m convinced at this point that the Saudis purposefully kept their air sirens off in order to maximize civilian casualties. Very Israeli of them I must say.
Not to mention, western media is harping on about this as if Ansarallah is some barbaric force that targets civilians, but not a peep has been made about the countless air strikes in Sanaa. Yemen is responding to the brutal Saudi aggression against their people.

I was wondering the same. It reeks of the same bullshit as October 7th.
I swear Iranian embassies are amazing shit posters

🇾🇪⚔️🇸🇦 A hangar protected by earth and concrete berms was hit at the Saudi Air Force base in Khamis Mushait.
The Yemeni Ansarullah strike took place between October 4 and 6.
The hangar’s fortifications suggest it housed high-value weaponry.

❗️England and Wales Greens recognize Zionism as racism and back single Palestinian state
The Green Party of England and Wales has voted to recognise Zionism as a form of racism and support the establishment of a single democratic Palestinian state with equal rights for all ethnic and religious groups.
The motion was passed at the party’s conference in Brighton on Sunday, with 1,022 members voting in favour and 813 against, making the Greens the first major UK party to adopt the position.
Green Party Co-Deputy Leader Mothin Ali told Middle East Eye he strongly supported the motion, while Green MPs Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay criticised it.
“As defined in the motion, Zionism is an ethno-nationalist state. Zionism is resulting in ethnic cleansing, in the belief that one group of people is superior to another,” Ali said.

🇮🇶🇸🇾 Iraq Rejects Syrian Request to Repatriate Thousands of Suspected ISIS Members
Iraq’s National Security Advisor has announced that Baghdad rejected a request from Damascus to return thousands of detainees suspected of ISIS affiliation to Syria.
The decision follows a trilateral meeting between Iraqi, Syrian, and US officials to discuss the fate of ISIS prisoners.
Iraq has already returned approximately 50 Syrian detainees after determining they were not members of the terrorist organization.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 USS Abraham Lincoln limps home after 10 months off Iran
The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has arrived in San Diego after more than 10 months away, one of the longest US carrier deployments since the Vietnam War. Its aircraft were among the first to strike Iran on 28 February.
➡️The crew spent more than 260 consecutive days at sea without a port call.
➡️Eight service members in the strike group attempted suicide, the acting Navy secretary told Congress.
➡️After Iran destroyed the main US supply base in Bahrain, sailors went without fresh food, hygiene products and mail.
Defense Secretary Pete Kegsbreath, who extended the deployment twice, blamed the media for portraying the ship as a symbol of dysfunction.

blamed the media for portraying the ship as a symbol of dysfunction.
This the one where they couldn’t get the shitters to work, yeah?
believe it or not, that’s a whole other ship, the Ford (which already limped home some weeks ago)
I thought they both had shitter problems. lol
Could be! The Ford in particular had the new “vacuum toilets”, the big story on the Lincoln IIRC is the attempted suicides

🇮🇷🇫🇷| Following the French government’s violent crackdown on student protests, Iran summoned the French Ambassador to Tehran, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs today by the Department of Human Rights of Iran.
@FotrosResistancee
LMAO, incredible trolling!
France killed 10,000 protestors last night. Trust me bro
Actually I heard it was 25,000 and the police were disguised as mimes while doing it.
Those weren’t disguises. Those were just cops showing their true allegiances. Under Macron the French police have been infiltrated and taken over by mimes. Why do you think they are so anti-free speech?
