"President Trump announces U.S. forces bombed military targets on Iran’s Kharg Island while leaving oil infrastructure intact, which Barbara Boyd argues reflects a doctrine and long-term strategy rather than instinct. She disputes claims of an imminent oil crisis, citing Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that the Strait of Hormuz has not been mined, and says price spikes are driven by London’s insurance and spot markets, noting Lloyd’s of London negotiating after the U.S. created a vessel-insurance mechanism. Boyd frames the conflict as an effort to dismantle a 50-year financial empire tied to the petrodollar, oil speculation, and the “Iran Terror Premium,” which Peter Navarro estimates added $5–$15 per barrel and drained about $10 trillion over 25 years. She highlights preparations including energy independence, Russian oil positioning, the Abraham Accords, and a U.S.–Saudi civil nuclear cooperation agreement as part of a broader nuclear-focused development agenda." There, you don't need to watch it, now.
Thanks for the summary and non-tracking link.
Some additional contexts from the Conservative Treehouse not included in the British-centric financial review below.
(1) Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae will be at the White House next week. This meeting was scheduled several weeks before Operation Epic Fury began.
(2) “A major U.S. weapons package for Taiwan worth about 14 billion dollars is awaiting approval from Donald Trump and could be announced after his planned visit to China later this month, according to sources familiar with the discussions. The proposed deal would be the largest U.S. arms sale ever to Taiwan and comes as military tensions between China and the self-ruled island continue to rise.”
There is a reason Lloyd's calls the underwriting groups within it syndicates.
