May be false news, after all, we told Iran not to do it.
Operative word is "could."

The war between Israel and the vast armies of Jihaters has started in earnest.
Airspace over the Middle East is closed. FJB has been recalled to Situation Room.
Reports of electrical grid down in various places due to cyber hacking.
Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz. (economic and oil disaster)
Reports that not only has Iran and its proxies launched drones rockets cruise and ballistic missiles, but that some are aimed at the USA.
The Fog of War now descends. Might be a good time to make sure your gas tank is topped and your preps solid.

the 100% POLITICAL Election 2024 decision coming from Biden & Company will be the deciding factor on whether the Muslim terrorist US operatives get activated >>> Israel will be needing another immediate munitions re-supply - that'll be a trigger even if the US doesn't fire a shot .....

So technically Iran has just started to close Hormuz Strait
Given the circumstances, it's conceivable that Iran, much like the Houthis in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, may prioritize ensuring the safe passage of Russian and Chinese vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
This could align with Iran's strategic objectives by fostering partnerships with these nations while exerting pressure on the US, Israel, and Britain.

Iran's Threat to Close the Strait of Hormuz: Implications for Global Oil Markets
Recent statements from Iran's Revolutionary Guard's navy commander, highlighting Tehran's readiness to close the Strait of Hormuz if necessary, have stirred concerns about potential disruptions to global oil markets.
This follows Iran's view of Israel's presence in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as a threat, adding fuel to an already tense situation.

The commander's remarks come in the wake of suspected Israeli airstrikes on Iran's consulate in Syria's capital, resulting in casualties among Revolutionary Guards officers. This attack, coupled with heightened tensions from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, underscores the volatile nature of the Iran-Israel relationship.

"We do not get hit without striking back, but we are also not hasty in our retaliation," stated the commander, emphasizing Iran's measured approach to responding to perceived threats.
Iran asserts its capability to close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime route through which approximately one-fifth of the world's oil consumption passes daily.

Iran's stance leaves room for reconsideration if its interests are disrupted. This uncertainty adds a layer of risk to global oil markets, as any closure of the strait could lead to supply disruptions and subsequent price volatility.

Data from analytics firm Vortexa reveals the significant volume of oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, with an average of 20.5 million barrels per day (bpd) passing through in January-September 2023. Such a crucial artery for oil transportation underscores the potential impact of any disruption on the global economy. For oil-importing countries and energy markets worldwide, the prospect of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz raises concerns about supply security and stability.

The vulnerability of this key chokepoint underscores the need for diversified energy sources and contingency plans to mitigate potential disruptions.

This will probably play out like it always has. Every so often, the crazies over there need to get their clocks cleaned after massively overextending their actual abilities. Of course in the process costing billions of $$'s and thousands of lives.

Then again, they don't care - human life means nothing, and Biden will keep forking over billions.

People on this thread need to get with it. There are cruise missiles being launched. Yemmen has launched drones also from the south. They are trying to overwhelm Iron Dome. to allow the Cruise missiles to get through. This is a coordinated major WAR outbreak. US and UK have scrambled jets to intercept. Explosions are heard in Tehran. And if you haven't visited the BS to find out how this might affect you, you might just want to.

Samsung Next withdraws from Israel as economy suffers from Gaza war

Samsung Next said that it had invested in 70 companies and Israeli startups in the time it had offices in Tel Aviv, which was close to a decade.

Samsung Next will shut down its operations in Israel and shift its activities abroad, as the Israeli economy suffers a downturn due to the ongoing war on Gaza.

The firm, which is the innovation branch of Korean company Samsung, announced to staff it was closing its operations in Tel Aviv, a regional tech hub.

An email to office employees said: "[T]his decision, although difficult, does not diminish the achievements we have accomplished together for almost a decade", including investing in 70 companies and Israeli startups, according to Israeli tech publication CTech.

The US office, which will be taking over regional clients and investments in a process the company expects to occur by autumn, would provide resources and advice to the team, the email added.

It comes after a flurry of difficulties for the Israeli economy since the 7 October attacks and war on Gaza, including in the tech sector.

The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement , which calls for an embargo on Israel due to rights concerns, said the move was "yet another strong indicator of the dramatically declining confidence in the Israeli economy".

Prior to Israel's war on Gaza, the IMF warned that controversial judicial reforms, which members of the Israeli tech sector protested, could negatively affect the country's economic growth.

Warnings over Israel's growth have persisted since the start of its war on Gaza, with the economy contracting by almost 20 percent in annualised terms in the last quarter of 2023.

In January, the Central Bank cut interest rates in a bid to support both businesses and households through the war.

Credit ratings agency Fitch Ratings said that while Israel's "rating watch negative" status had been removed, it still held a negative ratings outlook on the country.

This "reflects the combination of uncertainties around the fiscal trajectory and the war's duration and intensity, including the risk of regional escalation", the firm clarified.

Israel's tourism industry has also been affected by the war.

I have read Iran is three months away from having their nuclear misses ready. If so…maybe explains the short drone launch. Maybe not enough to warrant a massive strike back by Israel
