New Flareups Stall Iran Peace

Operation Project Freedom kicks into gear as the United States Navy seeks to secure safe transit by oil tankers and other ships through the Straits of Hormuz. The Iranian Navy has been decimated and most of its units laying mines in the Persian Gulf have been destroyed.

But ships serving U.S. allies continue to be fired upon, limiting transport to the Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Will Operation Project Freedom end this latest wrinkle in the conflict, or spur renewed fighting? Too early to predict.

Also in this issue: More on the royal British visit to Washington D.C. Newly declassified documents point to examples of treason under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act FISA). Are former CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey finally cooked? Pray! Here’s more from And We Know.

Iranians Have Three Options

We’re 60 days into the conflict, and President Donald Trump has left the Iranian regime with three options:

The non-hard-liners could agree to the United States’ terms and surrender.

The regime could continue to try and win token victories—send out small PT boats and drones to attack freighters in the Strait of Hormuz.

Delay negotiations in the hopes that a more friendly Democratic administration comes to power in 2028, offering the theocrats more favorable terms, predicts Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

Does Iranian Ship Hold Secrets?

The [Deep State] is panicking. They know President Donald Trump has control of Venezuela and the Strait and he has now captured an Iranian ship. Trump mentions that there is something on the ship that he can use.

Did Trump just get the map of the [Deep State] network? Are the logs of the ship going to expose the [Deep State]?

Kash Patel is letting us know that justice is coming and that he is now folding the rigging of the election into the grand conspiracy. The hammer of justice is about to fall. Here’s more from the X22 Report.

Blockade!

For 47 years now, Iran’s knife to the throat of the West was to cut off Middle East oil by closing the Strait of Hormuz.

NO ONE was ready for the response Iran got when that long-feared card was finally played. Here’s Steve Green, joined by Bill Whittle and Scott Ott, on a new edition of The Right Angle.

Trump’s Warning To Britain

Susan Kokinda argues that recent U.S. actions framed as confronting Iran are actually aimed at dismantling the British imperial financial and geopolitical system. She cites Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s April 16 meeting with UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves, highlighting the on-record “Economic Fury” campaign and U.S. tracking of financial flows to Iran that allegedly lead to London.

The episode shows Trump is ending a decades-old “world extortion” model tied to the Strait of Hormuz, Lloyd’s war-risk insurance, and London’s commodity pricing power (gold, metals, oil benchmarks). It also points to an Israeli–Lebanon ceasefire and Trump prohibiting Israeli strikes, arguing this removes Netanyahu’s leverage built on a perpetual Iran threat.

With London’s pricing nodes shifting toward New York and the “special relationship” weakening, the Hudson Institute is said to be pinning hopes on a King Charles visit to the U.S.  Here’s more from Promethean Updates.

Last Remaining Refuge Of Light

We are taking back our Great Country. It’s a slow and often dangerous journey.

At times, we see spotlights ahead of us. Are they actually a refuge? Or must we beware?

Can we still be waylaid by conspiracies? By Deep State subterfuge?

Our mission is good, and our goal is just. We can reach our destination, so we must remain strong. Pray! Here’s more from And We Know.

Iran Opens Strait Of Hormuz!

Iran has reopened the Strait of Hormuz, leading to a steep decline in the price of oil. All other markets, including precious markets and the stock market, surged on the news.

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi announced the reopening of the Strait, and President Donald Trump confirmed, saying, “Iran has just announced that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for full passage. Thank you.”

Those predicting the Iran hostilities would necessarily lead to World War III now have egg on their faces. We’ll see over the next week whether the peace holds, and what steps or negotiations can be expected next. Here’s more from Benny Johnson.

Has Iran Overplayed Its Hand?

Has Iran overplayed its hand with its hardball ceasefire negotiations in Pakistan, stalling a settlement of the Iran War and delaying a smooth reopening of the Strait of Hormuz?

The longer the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, the more global oil traffic is shifting. Here, we see global maps showing the newly emerging trade patterns. Two key, primary routes are now in play: More ships are traveling through the Red Sea and entering the Mediterranean via the Suez Canal. And more ships are traveling to Texas and Louisiana to pick up oil in the Gulf of America (formerly Gulf of Mexico).

So it looks as if the Middle Eastern oil nations, like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, have turned away from the Strait of Hormuz, and are using the Suez Canal to reach Europe. Meanwhile, ships in the Western Hemisphere, as well as more Asian ships, are now traversing the Gulf of America, tapping into American, Mexican and Venezuelan oil.

The longer Iran delays a ceasefire settlement, the higher the likelihood that Iran will become irrelevant. Iran could be left to face more chronic and potentially catastrophic economic collapse. Here’s more from Langley Outdoors Academy.

Bigger Than People Can Imagine

Today, President Donald Trump controls Iran. The [Deep State] fell right into the trap and Iran has no way out of what Trump has done to them. He never wanted to have a ground invasion or regime change. He wanted control of the energy, the Strait and he has it.

This is much bigger than people can imagine. Trump is taking down the [Deep State] system globally. The structure is behind destroyed. The system that the [Deep State] created is all around us. It is the money laundering, Epstein, trafficking of humans, religion, red cross, politicians etc.

It is being dismantled piece by piece. Trump has the leverage. Ask yourself: Why is the [Deep State] panicking over Iran? Here’s more from the X22 Report.

When Do You Play Trump Card?

What is the Trump Card? And when do you play it?

Some analysts are now asserting the Trump card involves a Naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. No ships going into the strait means Iranian exports are cut off. In essence, the blockade halts Iranian trade of its oil. How long can Iran hold out if it’s not earning export sales? Can it survive as a nation?

Similarly, a blockade will extend pressures on the United States as well. Oil prices will remain high indefinitely. The grumbling will get fierce.

Is Trump fighting the Iranians at this point, or the City of London? The Europeans most certainly did not help us with containing Iran. is it because they have skin in the game? Pray. Here’s more from And We Know.
