IRAN SAYS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ TO CLOSE INDEFINITELY AMERICAN EMPIRE POISED TO BE DESTROYED ECONOMICALLY AS WELL AS MILITARILY

CLOSUE OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ COULD ACCELERATE THE YUAN AS THE GLOBAL CURRENCY

Iran’s new leader, the  Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said the critical Strait of Hormuz will remain essentially closed as a “tool of pressure”.

 The announcement comes as  International Energy Agency said the world is facing the “largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market.” 

Trump’s energy secretary has admitted US Navy is not able to escort vessels through the Strait of Hormuz as Iran attacks ships in the waterway.

Iran is playing the economic card by closing the Strait of Hormuz to oil and gas for the US, UK and Europe.

By blocking the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely to all but Chinese or allied tankers, Iran can devastate the economies of the US, UK, Europe and also Israel, and, at the same time, bolster the economies of the BRICS.

And it  help destroy the petro dollar, the Gulf States, and with them the US bases in the Gulf states, as well as an important export market for US weapons.

In short, Iran can score an economic bonanza just by keeping the Strait closed.

The calculation that China wants to keep on exporting to the rest of the world and the West and so has a stake in ending the war and pressuring Iran quickly may be wrong.

China can switch its energy and export trade to focus on the BRICS, East Asia and let the West collapse economically.

By helping destroy the petro dollar and dollar, it can bolster demand for the Yuan.

Then China, Russia and Iran will be in position to buy up huge chunks of the impoverished, shattered economic ruin which will be the West.

Meanwhile, time is running out for the military operations of the  US and Israel  because missiles are running.

Trump and Netanyahu did not have a realistic plan for dealing with a longer  war with Iran, ignoring the risk of  very low stocks of air defence missiles and with only two months supply of  critical rare earth minerals in stock which are needed to make new missiles, radars, jets.

This is another self inflicted disaster of Trump and the result of his miscalculation in the trade war with China. It is a disaster for America s military industrial complex and power and so for the dollar. It has been military might in places like teh Gulf which has kept oil under de facto under the US control through the petro dollar.

When Trump and Netanyahu fire the last air defence missiles, there will be few or none coming online because a vital element is being withheld by China due to Trump s trade war.

Iran has a vast array of missiles, which it can continue to use to destroy targets.

It certainly has the capacity to wipe out Israel if Israel uses a nuclear weapon against it.

In this sense, the struggle between the United States and China is not just a trade war or a geopolitical rivalry; it’s an all-out contest over controlling global finance.

Washington’s tariffs, sanctions regimes, energy policies, and strategic control of trade routes all reinforce the current dollar-centered system.

Beijing’s tactical response includes expanding BRICS cooperation and adoption, currency diversification, digital yuan experiments, and alternative financial infrastructures to create a world in which U.S. financial dominance is no longer absolute.

Seyed Mohammad Marandi is a professor at Tehran University and a former advisor to Iran's Nuclear Negotiation Team. Prof. Marandi argues that it will be extremely difficult for the US to seize Kharg Island, and Iran would then destroy all energy facilities in the region.

RUSSIA SAYS IT WILL STOP SELLING SOME GAS TO EUROPE, WILL MAKE ENERGY CRISIS WORSE

From media 

MOSCOW. March 10 (Interfax) - Russian companies will redirect part of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) currently being supplied to European countries to other markets, without waiting for the European Union's looming import ban to take effect.

"In accordance with the president's instructions, we have worked through this issue today. We discussed in detail the current situation and the possibilities of reorienting gas. A decision was made that part of the LNG currently supplied to Europe will be redirected to other markets where constructive, pragmatic relations are being built with our country, where there is demand and [where there is] the opportunity to conclude long-term contracts," Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said.

US HAS ONLY TWO MONTHS OF RARE EARTH MINERALS VITAL TO MAKE NEW MISSILES, RADARDS

 US MILITARY OPERATION IN IRAN IS NOT SUSTAINABLE

From media

US officials and analysts say the war has intensified concerns about supply chains for the specialized minerals used in advanced weapons systems, SCMP reports. According to people familiar with the issue, the U.S. may have only about two months of rare-earth inventories remaining, raising questions about how long current military operations could be sustained if access to Chinese supplies were disrupted.

As we noted in 2023, former Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes admitted that Beijing effectively has the US military's supply chain by the balls thanks to its reliance on rare earths and other materials which come from, or are processed in, China.

According to Hayes, Raytheon has "several thousand suppliers in China," because of which "decoupling ... is impossible."

"We can de-risk but not decouple," he told the Financial Times, adding that he thinks this is the case "for everybody."

"Think about the $500bn of trade that goes from China to the US every year. More than 95 per cent of rare earth materials or metals come from, or are processed in, China. There is no alternative," Hayes continued, adding "If we had to pull out of China, it would take us many many years to re-establish that capability either domestically or in other friendly countries."

Hayes’ comments underline the difficulties facing western manufacturers amid growing friction between China and the US and its allies.

....

The issue has gained urgency as the U.S. military burns through munitions in its campaign against Iran, which began Feb. 28. President Trump initially projected that the strikes could last four to five weeks but said Monday that American objectives had nearly been achieved and the crisis could end “very soon.”

The Washington Post, citing unnamed U.S. officials, reported that the Pentagon expended roughly $5.6 billion worth of munitions during the first two days of operations alone, highlighting the pace at which advanced weapons stockpiles are being drawn down.

While existing missile inventories could support several months of combat, replenishing them could prove difficult if access to Chinese minerals is constrained, according to Amanda van Dyke, founder of the industry think tank Critical Minerals Hub.

“Missile stockpiles are more than sufficient to sustain the Iran war for at least three to six months,” she said. “But restocking those munitions afterward may take much longer without Chinese minerals.”

The Trump administration has attempted to mitigate the risk by launching “Project Vault,” a $12 billion public-private initiative aimed at building strategic stockpiles of critical minerals. Industry analysts say the program may help but could fall short of meeting the specific needs of modern weapons systems.

EMAIL US TOP BRASS TO SAY WHAT DOUG MACGREGOR SAYS , NAMELY US NEEDS A CHANGE OF LEADERSHIP , AND D 15 218 AND E 17 449 ARE PERFECT FOR JUST THAT

Will Iran even neogitate with Trump, Kushner and Witkoff after they used a trick to lure Ayatollah Khamenni to a meeting to kill him and key commanders in the middle of negotiaitons?

Hard to believe

Doug MacGregor is right to stress the need for a change in leadership, an exit for the Epstein circle before Iran crushes the US, Western economy and buys it all up with China and Russia. 

Iran just has to keep the Hormuz strait closed for a year or two, strike alternative routes, pipelines in the Red Sea Area and the West will implode economically.

NYT ADMITS US CANNOT FIND IRAN S MISSILE LAUNCHERS, IRAN LIKELY HAS HUGE STOCKS OF MISSILES UNDERGROUND AS DEFEAT NOW TOO CLEAR TO BE DENIED

 

Guess what.

The  US ‘cannot find Iranian missile launchers’admits the NYT as 3 ships have been set on fire in the Strait  of Hormuz and missiles rain down on US bases and Isael.

Waddya know? Iran actually camouflaged its missile launch sites and built vast underground facilities in anticiation of aerial bombardment...

Gee. Didn t they say they had done that? 

The NYT has just discovered the true facts as the US faces total defeat.

This illustrates how disastrous a policy 

Censorship is the well rping of other disastrous decisions.

Make no mistake, there s wall to wall censorship in the USA which is why no media have publiczed D 15 218 and E 17 449 despite the Russan state linked TV interview on them in 2016 and the Epstein circle are allowed just to continue their crimes.

The Russians, Chinese and Irans have the info advantage, the key advantage.

From media

American forces are struggling to locate all of Iran’s missile launch sites, it has been revealed.

Defence officials in the US said there was concern that the Pentagon does not have full clarity on all of the Islamic republic’s missile launchers, according to The New York Times.

They also suggested that Iran has held back many missiles to keep them in reserve. It is believed the projectiles are being stored to be able to attack key American infrastructure such as radar equipment at a later date.

In the 11 days since the conflict began, Iran has predominantly targeted key American air defence, according to experts.

They said Iran appears to have accepted that it can not match the firepower of the US-Israeli campaign, but by simply surviving the barrage Tehran can claim a form of victory.

It comes as reports suggest Donald Trump and his advisers failed to predict to the Iranian response to the military intervention.

The president has also been blamed for rejecting a deal for Ukrainian equipment designed to destroy attack drones. Iran’s inexpensive Shahed “kamikaze” drones have been linked to the deaths of seven US service personnel.
