This extraordinary moment in history

Donald Trump has accused Iran of behaving "dishonourably". I am not making this up.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia says Iran bombed the East-West pipeline hours before the ceasefire was agreed. This stops KSA exporting oil without the Houthis blocking the Red Sea. Iran is playing her hand brilliantly.

I saw this on X and Facebook. I don't  vouch for its complete accuracy.  I am on holiday drinking ouzo on a Greek island and respectfully invite  you to research it and leave a comment. 

<A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak.

This is not a talented trader.

"We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row.

That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research.

That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes.

Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses.

There are only two explanations and both should terrify you.

Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime.

Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse.

This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call.

While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings.

You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle.>

David Rohde: 

“Iran offered to give away ALL of its ENRICHED URANIUM during the recent peace talks. Hours later the U.S. started dropping bombs.”

Trista Parsi:

<WOW!

Spain's Sanchez is on another level. While most European leaders only apply international law in Ukraine, ignoring it in Gaza and Lebanon, and even stating that it doesn't apply to Iran, Sanchez sticks true to principles and calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu.

"Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.”>

I blame  the media for being accomplices to war crimes and illegal wars.
