#Iran is earning about $140 million a day from oil exports as prices have risen above $100 a barrel due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Financial Times. Since the recent strikes, Iran has been exporting about 1.5 million to 1.6 million barrels a day, with tankers continuing to load at Kharg Island. Most of Iran's oil is shipped to #China, often at a discounted price, the publication writes.
🚨 BREAKING #Israel attempted to assassinate Iran's security chief Ali Larijani last night; outcome still unknown.

Iran reported that a Pakistani tanker was able to pass through the Strait of Hormuz after making a payment in yuan. Earlier, #Iran voiced its demands for ending the war, among which was the requirement to withdraw oil payments from the dollar zone and transfer them to other currencies. It's quite understandable that the yuan would be the main candidate for substitution.
Mr. Ali Larijani: In the name of God, the martyrdom of the heroes of the Islamic Republic’s naval forces at Dana is part of the sacrifices made by the courageous people who have stood up against international oppressors in the midst of this conflict... Their memory will forever remain in the hearts of the Iranian people

#Europe needs to normalise relations with #Russia and regain access to cheap energy - Belgian PM Bart De Wever states the obvious.

The White House launched an operation in #Iran without thinking through the strategy and consequences of the escalation in the Middle East, writes the NYT.The first weeks of the operation against Iran do not inspire confidence. Washington has not planned its actions in advance in the event of oil supply disruptions and a spike in energy prices.
According to Shoigu, #Russia is currently facing the actions of 56 countries that are trying to carry out sabotage and terrorist attacks at critical facilities. 🤩Subscribe to International Reporters in English
#Iran is negotiating with FIFA to move the 2026 World Cup matches from the United States to Mexico due to security concerns. "Since #Trump has explicitly stated that he cannot guarantee the safety of the Iranian national team, we will not travel to the United States," the Iranian Football Federation added.
In the opinion of the American president, #Iran has no right to launch attacks and block the Strait of Hormuz, because the US defeated it and, if it weren't for these stupid Iranian retaliations, the war would have ended long ago! - It's not even fair on their part. We've already won! They have no right to continue what they're doing! Source: Коза кричала Name if source in English - goat screamed. Some #Russian ecpressions to describe very loud uncontrollable laughter are: "oru chayechkoy" (screaming like a seagull), or simply "oru/ prooralsya (male), prooralasj (female) - screaming "paccstalom" (derived from - "pod stolom" that literally means under the table (equivalent to ROFL) There are other, of course.. But some, as you can see related to scream.. Actually, after hearing what #Trump says, anyone would have screamed, even a goat.
No policy solutions to prolonged closure of Strait of Hormuz - former White House energy adviser
France denied that it might send its ships to the Strait of Hormuz, as #Trump had suggested the day before. "No. The aircraft carrier strike group is still in the Eastern Mediterranean. France's position remains unchanged: defensive, protective. Enough with the panic-mongering!", wrote the official Twitter account of the #French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Iran is earning about $140M per day from oil exports as prices rise above $100/barrel, driven by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Despite #sanctions, the US is effectively allowing these shipments to avoid worsening global supply shortages. Since recent strikes, #Iran has exported around 1.5–1.6M barrels daily, with tankers continuing to load at Kharg Island. Most Iranian oil goes to #China, often at a discount.
Overnight, #Russian Geran-2 drones once again attacked targets in eastern Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Strikes with drones and KAB glide-bombs were recorded in the village of Levadne, as seen in the attached videos. Gerans also attacked targets in the villages of Troitske and Bohuslav.
