🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Trump told a caller the retaliatory strikes on Iranian targets were no big deal, and the ceasefire still stands. Artorias Chief Intelligence Officer Stefano Ritondale says Iran may have already won the attrition game anyway. "All Iran needed to do was just keep the Strait of Hormuz closed. And they did that." The U.S. got what it wanted? Maybe. Iran got what it needed. Definitely. All Source News

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran targeted the Gulf in the way it did to send a very clear message. Stefano Ritondale breaks down why striking Qatar and the UAE was Iran telling the U.S. it will burn its own diplomatic progress to ash if pushed too far. "Both the Iranians and the Americans are doubling, tripling down." Stefano thinks Trump likely blinks first. Artorias

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 GPS tracking has been jammed across the Strait, and the U.S. is quietly escorting ships through right now without saying a word about it. Artorias intelligence officer Stefano Ritondale says that's exactly why the UAE is being struck and vessels in the Strait are being targeted. The question is whether Iran's strikes reach a threshold that forces the U.S. or UAE to respond militarily. Artorias

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran may have just hacked systems used to regulate U.S. gas stations. Artorias Intelligence Officer Stefano Ritondale spoke about how Iran might use sleeper cells to hurt the West from within. "This was not a simple attack. The Iranians have those capabilities. When people talk about sabotage, people think of Iranian special forces or a cell. A lot of it is recruiting locals." If strikes resume, the insider threat is already there. Artorias

When asked if strikes on Iran over the weekend marked a limited campaign or a return to full-scale war and how the U.S. plans to respond to Iranian strikes in Jordan and the UAE, President Trump told CBS News’ Weijia Jiang that although Iran has been severely weakened, the U.S. could still "smack them" if necessary. U.S. Central Command announced an attack Sunday on what it said were Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said the Strait of Hormuz is "in extremely good shape" and that "we've done a great job with Iran."

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The suspension might have been a ruse all along. Artorias Chief Intelligence Officer Stefano Ritondale breaks down why Iranian strikes on U.S. destroyers near the Strait of Hormuz could mean the naval blockade never actually paused. "Maybe Trump's saying we suspended Project Freedom was actually a ruse. And that still has been going on." If Iran believed the blockade continued, they felt compelled to respond. And now everything, including the nuclear negotiations, is in flux. All Source News

"In no universe will any Gulf country ever accept Iran charging tolls for their oil being shipped to China or any other country in the world." Artorias

$🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. is bombing Iran while claiming the strait is open, and that contradiction EXPOSES everything. Fmr. CIA analyst Larry Johnson calls it out in the simplest terms possible: "If the Strait of Hormuz is open, then why does the United States have to go back to war with Iran?" The shipping data backs the question: traffic is still a fraction of pre-war levels, and Iran's Strait Authority just declared the waterway closed again. If the official story were true, there would be no bombs. SonofNewAmericanRevolution$

🚨Could Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz if the US🇺🇸 and Israel attack? ‘What we worry about in the Middle East is the wider conflict or the reignition of the war between Israel and Iran, which would bring into question the role of the Strait of Hormuz, through which one third of all gas and one third of all oil used in the world goes through. So if there would be a major crisis or war between Israel and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz could be closed, and we would have an energy crisis of epic proportions. If push would come to shove, I’m sure they would do it. It would hurt them also. But if the very existence of Iranian leadership, or Iran as a state, would come into question, I’m sure they would do it. But I think that President Trump does not want to go there. So there is a backstop here, I think, in the US.’ -Tuomas Malinen, CEO of GnS Economics on Going Underground

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Over 100 days of strikes and the bulk of Iran's missile force may still be untouched. Brandon Weichert says the intelligence community is now worried that many of the launchers hit were decoys. "A lot of what they've been hitting in terms of launchers were either outright decoys or were only part of the force that we were hitting." Iran doesn't even need missiles. It just needs to squeeze the Strait of Hormuz. Brandon Weichert

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 STRAIT OF HORMUZ: STRATEGIC WIN OR LOSS FOR IRAN? Veteran & geopolitical analyst Matt Tardio breaks down the Hormuz standoff. Trump promised to open the Strait of Hormuz. It didn't happen. Allies were asked to help. Every single one said no. Tardio argues, however, that it's not a clean win for Iran either. The US is already de-mining the strait and preparing a new shipping lane. Iran can't stop that if American naval power is focused. And the real pressure point? China: 40% of Chinese oil flows through Hormuz. It was China that ultimately called Iran to seal the deal, making it clear that the decision to keep the Strait of Hormuz locked won't be a straightforward one for Iran. Matt Tardio

JUST IN 🇮🇷🇺🇸: U.S. and Iranian Negotiations hit a BIG WALL, The Strait of Hormuz Iran stressed the Strait of Hormuz, won't return to its pre-war status, and a new transit protocol must be established. The U.S. wants to return to what it was before the war. The 40-day War on Iran gave them a nuke, the Strait of Hormuz, and they will not give it up! This was a problem created by Netanyahu lying and starting this war on Iran and the world is paying the price. Thanks again Bibi...

Artorias Chief Intelligence Officer Stefano Ritondale suggests this is a direct response to the U.S. "Operation Freedom" designed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Stefano notes that while Iran is signaling its reach with ballistic strikes, the U.S. has countered by sinking fast boats to enforce new, aggressive rules of engagement. All Source News

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The military assets are in place, and if Trump picks up the phone, strikes happen with zero warning. Artorias intelligence officer Stefano Ritondale puts the probability of a return to full blown war at 30%, but warns that public statements are terrible indicators of what's actually coming. He also argued that Trump could be using the blockade as leverage to force China to pressure Iran into a deal before he makes his next move. "China, if you want oil, you got to tell the Iranians to play ball. If not, I'm going to prevent any Iranian ship, or any vessel, from docking." Artorias

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran’s Strait of Hormuz threat was already built into the plan. Fmr Army officer Stefano Ritondale says the U.S. Navy weakened Iran’s speedboat capacity from dozens down to just small groups, which pushed Tehran toward drones. But he argues the real pressure point is shipping insurance: if companies refuse to cover vessels, traffic slows without Iran needing to fully block the waterway. Tehran may still hold leverage if Trump cannot escort even one vessel through the Strait. Artorias

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷For the first time, the U.S. struck Iran not in response to an Iranian action, but seemingly out of frustration with the state of negotiations, with an explicit threat of more strikes tomorrow if Iran doesn't move. Fmr. Army Officer Stefano Ritondale says the Rubicon has been crossed. The next question is whether Israel joins the next round. Energy infrastructure has not been hit yet. That remains the last line. Artorias

On both sides of the US-Iran war, none of what's being claimed is confirmed. In fact, both sides are telling contradictory stories. It seems impossible to know what's true. So what DO we know? 1. Before the war, Iran did NOT control the Strait. Traffic was open to any vessel under any flag. 2. Then, just as many warned would happen, Iran closed the Strait as soon as US-Israeli forces began their bombing campaign. 3. Now, whether the US likes it or not, the Strait of Hormuz belongs to Iran. So how can Trump possibly claim victory after the war if the Strait still belongs to Tehran? And how will Iran respond if their only two options are to: a.) attack a US Navy vessel and risk war again; or b.) back down and show the whole world that the US is still in charge? All of this leaves us with the biggest question: Who will blink first?
