🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️- "The Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing.

Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian Accounts.

Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts.

Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces."

- Scott Bessent, US Treasury Secretary

Commentary:
The US government/ Trump Administration is dead set on expanding and escalating the Israeli/US/Iran war into a broader world war. US has desively lost this conflict and Iran has proven itself to be able to withstand all attacks and an increasing level of attacks going forward and maintained if not expanded the military capability to achieve its objectives consisting of:

1. Expell US military presence from the region. (Largely achieved)
2. Get sanctions dropped (never going to be achieved)
3. Get reparations payment for US/Israeli bombing (never going to be achieved)
4. Position itself as a broader regional power (achieved by closing the straits of Hozmuz and destruction of portions, and soon to be more, of gulf energy sector)

This nonsense chatter outnfo the White House telegraphing premature victory is disconnected from the military reality on the ground.

🇺🇸 Trump to Press Defense Executives on Missile Production

President Trump is expected to meet with top defense executives this week to address critical shortages in U.S. missile stockpiles. The administration aims to pressure contractors to rapidly accelerate production and expand munitions output.

🇺🇸 Lake Powell at Critically Low 23% Capacity as Data Centers Expand in Colorado River Basin
:.
A clip shows before-and-after imagery of Lake Powell’s dramatic water-level decline, with the reservoir currently hovering at ~23–24% of capacity (projected to end water year 2026 near 20% according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation). There are 24 large hyperscale data centers and 379 smaller ones across the seven Colorado River Basin states, plus a high-profile $10 billion data-center proposal on land sold by the town of Page, Arizona, directly adjacent to Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell.

While agriculture, cities, and long-term drought remain drivers of the basin’s chronic water deficit, data centers' electricity- and water-intensive infrastructures are arguably causing the most strain in an already overstretched region.

🇷🇺 🇦🇲 Russia Imposes Blanket Ban on Armenian Agricultural Imports

Starting June 12, Russia’s Rosselkhoznadzor has suspended all imports and transit of quarantine-subject products from Armenia. The move follows repeated detections of pests, including the kaprosis beetle, in shipments of nuts and dried fruits.

While Moscow cites phytosanitary safety, the timing suggests a strategic response to Armenia’s diplomatic pivot toward the European Union.

Armenians are also the OG Amalek of the Israelis who carry an ancient bitter hatred of them and are currently backing Azerbaijan in their war against Armenia. Given the heavy Jewish representation in the leadership governing Russia, is this not also a factor influencing Russia's negative disposition against Armenia? Ostensively Russia is a Christian country and should be friendly with Christian Armenia...

More detached from reality statements from CENTCOM.

One is more informed to look at what insurance carriers say about the viability of transiting the straits.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 $1.15 trillion added to the US stock market today.

@WatcherGuru

I wonder who did that???

Commentary:

This is consistent with testimonies of people I know who worked with Trump, that he is indecisive and changes his mind easily. It seems the Joint Chiefs prevailed in deescalating the situation.

A heavy handed US attack likely would most likely have resulted in a devastating Iranian counter attack on the gulf states and Israel making it harder to fake a victory dance to the US populace...

Commentary:

Face saving statement

Iran vows 'history-making' response to Trump’s threat of seizing Kharg Island

A senior Iranian official has warned that any US attack on Iranian territory – "not just on Kharg Island but anywhere in the country" – would receive a response that "will be recorded in history," as President Donald Trump threatened to seize Iran's main oil export hub.

Claudio Grass, producer of the film WW3Film.com blogs about my interview with Col Doug Macgregor.

Trump wants to switch to a war economy in 2027 with massive increase in military spending and cuts to healthcare and other domestic agencies to fund it.

The "two more weeks" narrative is vastly different from the actual moves they're making.
