🚨 SAUDI ARABIA JUST BECAME THE BIGGEST WAR PROFITEER IN HISTORY
Saudi Arabia is America's closest ally. And they are getting rich from a war America is fighting. Here is the proof.
💀 Saudi exports BEFORE the war: 6,660,000 barrels per day. 💀 Saudi exports NOW: 3,330,000 barrels per day. 💀 That is a 50% DROP.
💀 Oil price BEFORE the war: $67 per barrel. 💀 Oil price NOW: $130 per barrel. 💀 Saudi added $19.50 per barrel premium on Asian buyers. 💀 That is the HIGHEST premium in history.
⚠️ They are selling HALF the oil at DOUBLE the price with a RECORD fee on top. ⚠️ The math says they are making MORE money than before the war.
⚠️ The IEA called this the largest supply disruption in global oil market history. ⚠️ The supply loss is 10,000,000 barrels per day. OPEC+ fixed 206,000 of it. On purpose.
Let that sink in.
Now the part nobody will say out loud.
Saudi bypassed the Strait of Hormuz entirely. Their East-West pipeline now carries 7,000,000 barrels per day to the Red Sea.
Korean and Indian refiners are rerouting to Saudi's Yanbu port for the first time ever.
Saudi does not need Hormuz open. Saudi was NEVER going to suffer from Hormuz closing.
And Gulf states including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain are PRIVATELY urging Trump to keep fighting Iran. They want Iran weakened further before any ceasefire deal happens.
Because every week of war is another week of record oil prices. Every week of record prices is another week of record Saudi revenue.
If Saudi wanted Hormuz reopened, why did they spend billions on a pipeline to avoid it?
If Saudi was suffering, why are they charging the highest markup in history right now?
If Saudi is a loyal ally, why are they privately pushing for more bombing of a country America is already bombing?
Complete silence.
This is not an oil story. This is not a US-Iran story. This is a war profiteering story.
And the profiteer is the country hosting American military bases.

🇮🇷🇷🇺IRAN Exempts RUSSIA from All Strait of Hormuz Transit Fees
Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali told Russian state media (RIA Novosti/Sputnik) that Tehran has provided exemptions from the newly introduced Strait of Hormuz transit fees for certain "friendly" countries, explicitly including Russia. He noted: "We have provided exceptions for some countries... our Foreign Ministry is currently trying to implement the exceptions envisioned for friendly countries, such as Russia."

The National Interest: "Why Isn't the Blockade of Iran Working?"
This blockade, instead of isolating Iran, increases the risk of the crisis spreading. Instead of quickly forcing Tehran to make concessions, it creates an incentive for it to escalate tensions in those areas where it holds an advantage.
The assumption that West Asia could return to its pre-war status no longer seems realistic. Iran has adapted its military structure to new conditions, redefined its deterrence potential, and demonstrated its readiness to act in the event of a threat.
This is precisely the strategic mistake of the US: coercive tools are most effective when applied before the opponent adapts, not after.
The Iranian system is adapting to the new reality faster than its opponents can adjust their strategy to the changed conditions.
Iran allows the Kingdom of Spain to use the Strait of Hormuz with complete freedom without restrictions or barriers that impede the maritime navigation of Spanish ships and tankers
THE LARGEST SUPPLY TRANSFER OF THIS CYCLE IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. 🚨
Long term holders absorbed 303K BTC in 30 days. > Strategy added 53K BTC. > ETFs absorbed another 16.8K BTC. While short term holders dumped 290K BTC in panic.
This is not normal market activity. This is a generational wealth transfer happening in real time.
Weak hands distributing to the strongest hands on the planet.
Institutions. Long term holders. The most convicted players in this entire market.
Every previous time this pattern appeared at this scale The ones who sold to institutions never forgave themselves.
The transfer is happening right now. Which side are you on. $KAT $SKR $INX
🚨STRAIT OF HORMUZ DISRUPTION COULD TAKE MONTHS TO CLEAR

🚨🇮🇩 Toll time? Indonesia eyes Iran’s playbook to monetize Malacca Strait
FM Purbaya Yudha Sadewa has floated mimicking Iran's taxes on the Strait of Hormuz for ships sailing the Strait of Malacca—bordered by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
"Indonesia is not a peripheral country. We sit on a strategic global trade and energy route. Ships pass without charge—I'm not sure if that's right, he told a symposium, musing that if split three ways “It could be quite substantial."
He then quickly backtracked, saying "If only it could be like that."
President Prabowo Subianto previously pointed out that Indonesia controls 70% of East Asia's energy flows: "Are we aware how important we are?"
Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore jointly manage the Malacca strait under international law (UNCLOS).
The chokepoint - 2.8 km at its narrowest - links the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea and:
🔸 carries ~30% of global maritime trade
🔸 moves 23–25M barrels of oil daily
🔸 supplies ~80% of China’s crude imports $KAT $LAB $MOVR
IRAN JUST DROPPED A BOMB SHELL ON THE WORLD ECONOMY.
PROBABLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH USA x INDONESIA PLANNING TO BLOCK THE Indonesian Strait (aka The Straight of Malacca)
Iran JUST announced they are charging a fee for ALL ships that ENTER the Straight of Hormuz.
WILD! - The PAYMENT has to be paid in their local currency, AND, any country that participated in the war has to pay MORE.
AND, Israel is PERMANENTLY BANNE.
AND, if that wasn’t enough…
ALL ships from countries that are SANCTIONING Iran are BANNED:

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇵🇰 The ceasefire was announced on April 8, and yeah, if you just read the headline, it sounds like things are calming down.
But then you start connecting the dots, and it feels less like peace and more like a setup.
Behind the scenes, movement was already underway. On March 31, the USS George H.W. Bush left the U.S. with around 90 fighter jets and 6,000 troops onboard. Instead of taking the direct route, it went around Africa, slower, quieter, and now it’s basically about to enter the region.
Then April 16 hits, and the USS Gerald R. Ford passes through the Suez Canal and heads straight into the conflict zone.
At the same time, another group called the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group starts moving in from the Pacific with about 4,200 Marines. These are ground troops trained to land, fight, and hold positions.
And it’s not like this was empty space before. Around 2,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne, basically rapid-response troops, were already deployed. Another 2,500 Marines and sailors were sitting on the USS Tripoli, which is built to launch helicopters and troops straight into combat zones.
Now pause for a second.
While all this heavy movement is happening, JD Vance is in Islamabad talking peace.
So on one side, you’ve got negotiations.
On the other, you’ve got serious military buildup.
Then the talks fail.
Instead of things easing, the U.S. puts a naval blockade on Iranian ports. That basically means ships trying to enter or leave are stopped. Around 28 ships were forced to turn back. Trade gets hit, pressure goes up, and things tighten fast.
Now zoom out, because this is where it gets big.
There are now 3 aircraft carriers in play, Lincoln, Ford, and Bush. Around 27 warships in total. That’s about 41% of all U.S. naval forces deployed worldwide sitting in one region.
Troops go above 50,000. Normally it’s closer to 40,000, so that jump matters.
