Trump's warning to Tehran Regime - Update

Fox News: Reports the following, " Trump says US 'totally destroying' Iran: 'Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today''  "

Let's Get Real:

Unfortunate use of language even if correct, the Tehran Regime is EVIL TERRORIST Regime, that kills people without thought.  The US President should be the coolest man in the room, allow others to use emotional language, POTUS needs to really win this War, removal of Iran's nuclear stockpile, and of the Regime, Trump's reputation and Presidential credibility is on the line.

4 of 6 US Service personnel killed in Plane Crash - Update

Sky News: Reports in its 9.37am post the following, " Four US crew members confirmed dead after refuelling plane crashed in Iraq  "

Let's Get Real:

The refuelling plane crashed in friendly Iraq, a terrorist group has claimed responsibility, the War Department says it was an accident, this blog will go with the US line.  Thus both Sky News and CNN report that the US has lost 11  military service personnel also a French Soldier killed by a drone.    Thus far no UK Casualties, thank God. The War goes on.

US allows Russia to sell its oil - Update

BBC News: Reports in its 12.45am post the following, " US temporarily allows countries to buy Russian oil "

Let's Get Real:

This move shafts the Ukraine, the point of Western sanctions on Russia was starve them of money to support the War in the Ukraine, does any one see Trump putting them back on.  If the Strait of Hormuz is blocked and gas prices go up in the US and the West in general, Trump will ease the sanctions more, as Sir Keir Starmer is out in the COLD when it comes to POTUS, his influence will not be much, as the Ukraine will complain to the Coalition of the willing that sanctions are being undermined by the US.   The ramifications of the Iran war could have negative effects on the War in the Ukraine, Trump is a pawn of Putin, the Russian leader will be happy.

US Navy to the rescue of tankers - Update

Guardian: Reports in its 7.25pm post the following, "  US Navy could escort vessels through strait of Hormuz with international coalition, Bessent says  "

Let's Get Real:

The Trump Oval should have thought about before starting the WAR, Trump was critical of the Reagan Oval for using the US Navy to escort tankers during the Iraq - Iran War in the 1980s.  Trump should have remembered this event, the US Navy and Allies will come under attack, they need to be ready.  Oil price will go down, as more oil comes to the market through the IEA and Naval escort of tankers.

Price of OIL goes over $100 dollars a barrel- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 06.46am post the following, "  Oil price surges again as Iran steps up attacks on energy-related targets  "

Let's Get Real:

The IEA has released 400 million barrels of oil, that will calm the market.  This takes time, prices should fall, the US Navy needs to convoy tankers through Strait of Hormuz, like they did during the Iraq - Iran War.  The market needs to calm down, this is not end of the World.

Message from new Iranian Supreme Leader - Update

BBC News:  Reports in its 1.26pm post the following message from the New Supreme leader,  " Iran should continue targeting Strait of Hormuz - Khamenei  "

Let's Get Real:

The written statement read on Iranian TV, thus far no images or sound from Mojtaba Khameni, the Daily Mail reports that he is in a coma and has lost a leg ( Weekend at Bernies, anyone )  This blog is calling him DOA, dead on arrival, in other words he is toast like his father.  The Regime needs an image to keep going, so why not the dead son.   The message calls for the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz and the US to leave it bases in the Middle East, the usual fake news.

Lord Peter Mandelson was damage goods becsuse of Epstein Connection- Update

Sky News: Reports in its 2.15pm post the following, " Starmer warned of 'reputational risk' over Mandelson's links to Epstein " 

Let's Get Real:

This always goes back to the Judgement of Sir Keir Starmer, about 15 U turns in Government, getting the wrath of POTUS.  One assumes Candidates to replace him are waiting for the May Elections when Labour is expected to have disastrous night, what if that does not happen, people supporting PM on Iran, can't be bothered to vote, a great PM stated when asked by a junior Minister what could go wrong, EVENTS, EVENTS, boy EVENTS, some times you have to act even if everything is not perfect, these candidates should stand now for the Labout leadership, if they don't history might pass them by.  As for Lord Mandelson he will be back, you don't get the title of Dark Prince for nothing.
