IRGC States Not One Drop Of Oil Will Pass Through The Strait Of Hormuz As Full Scale Conflict Resumes

Amid amid large scale exchanges of missile and drone fire across The PersianGulf today between Iranian and US forces, we can be sure that the Trump-Netayahu on-off-on war with Iran is on again. The battle for Hormuz has ramped up after the United States has undertaken three consecutive nights of major bombing raids against Iranian targets.

The IRGC says they targeted enemy weapons and parts storages in Bahrain and Kuwait. This after the US appeared to attack some critical Iranian infrastructure on coastal islands.

Later the IRGC has issued a fresh statement via state media on Tuesday, saying that "as long as the US evil stays in the middle east, not a drop of oil and gas will be exported from through The Strait Of Hormuz." It said further, per the press release that US aggression will have no result other than delaying the opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

All the while President Trump is said to be "very serious" about his plan to impose a 20% toll on cargo transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, a Semafor report says, citing a White House official who says the president has desired such a plan for months. Both warring sides are insisting that it is their side alone which will be 'guardian' over the strait.

ABC is meanwhile reporting during the mid-afternoon (US time) that American airstrikes on Iran have been underway for the last couple of course. And yet still, Iran's IRIB has said that the Islamic Republic "must control the entire Hormuz Strait in wartime".

That oil is the main weapon of Iran and the primary fear of USA is obvious. They thought the MOU would allow free access to every ship in both directions through The Strait Of Hormuz. Well, this is what they get for thinking they can out - bluff the Iranians. Why would Iran allow any unfriendly ships to pass when the US military started violating the clauses before, during and after the signing?? They knew this and got their oil out as fast as they could and used the American threats to drag their feet on the other vessels.

China reimporting is most likely refilling their reserves. An article a few weeks back indicated China wasn’t interested in Iranian oil and all the vessels headed there will be disappointed. Well, it was a propaganda piece. They were parking there because they knew the MOU was just buying time. Time Iran has used wisely, time the US squandered because it and its friends were not able to refill their reserves.

In total some 7 m bpd exited the Gulf region through new outlets. The releases from reserves and the lifting of sanctions contributed to additional supplies of some 3-5 m bpd. The reduction of Chinese import demand amounted to some 5 m bpd.

Due to all the above measures the global oil supply of about 100 m bpd only shrank to about 92-95 m bpd. Global demand, especially due to the Chinese measures, dropped to a nearly equal balance. The amount that was still missing in this rough calculation was drawn from reserves within the distribution and transport levels.

After all measures were in place demand and supply were balanced again and oil prices came down to a normal level of some $70+/bl.

When U.S. President Donald Trump decided to reignite the conflict he might have thought that the oil, gas and diesel problem he had feared had gone away. He was wrong.

Trump Claims US Progress In Talks With New, More Reasonable Regime In Iran. Iran Denies All Knowledge Of Talks.

by In R Thorpe, 30 March 2026

Ahmad Vahidi, the new IRGC commander-in-chief, has unmatched experience and influence
Ahmad Vahidi, he may look like Ringo Starr without the scouse humour but is a top contender for Iran's new strongman (Picture: Daily Telegraph)

US President Donald Trump today gave observers the impression that he is himself suffering from the legendary Trump Derangement Syndrome as he severed all links with reality in claiming he is making "great progress" in negotiations with a "new and more reasonable regime" in Iran, but again threatened to blow up Iranian power plants if a deal is not reached soon.

While America's erstwhile European allies clutch their pearls and mutter nervously about imposing regime change Trump knows there is no such thing s International Law. What he does not know apparently is that even a Tiger tries to avoid confronttion with a poionous snake.

We’ve had regime change,” Trump said. “If you look already because the one regime was decimated, destroyed. They’re all dead. The next regime is mostly dead. And the third regime, we’re dealing with different people than anybody’s dealt with before. It’s a whole different group of people. So I would consider that regime change.”

None of these claims are anywhere near true and suggest Trump has gone crazy.

The problem with Trump's rhetoric is that while some senior figures have been killed the regime is still in place so his claim of having achieved regime change is no more valid than his claim to have obliterated Irans air and naval defences.

Against this backdrop and reports that Washington has been negotiating with the “real powerbroker” in the regime, Western policy circles have concluded a new strongman has emerged in Tehran. All attention has turned to the obvious contender: Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of the Iranian parliament and veteran of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) – the regime’s ideological army.

The problem is nobody outside Iran and few people inside the theocratic nation have any idea who leads that regime and what their attitude towards America and the west is. But in Iran, the obvious answer is rarely the right one. While the egotistical : Mohammed Bager Ghalibaf has been playing to the gallery, a far more sinister figure is reported to be pulling the strings: Ahmad Vahidi – the new IRGC commander-in-chief who is a Khamenei absolutist.

Unlike Ghalibaf, Vahidi has stayed out of the spotlight since the outbreak of war. However independent reporters still inside Iran suggest he is a key cog in the regime’s chain of command and his survival is essential to its continuity and is likely to adopt polices that will produce a far more radical and extremist Islamic Republic that even people in the wider Islamic world dislike.Vahidi has unmatched experience and influence across the regime’s military, intelligence, and bureaucracy.

Western policy circles have concluded a new strongman has emerged in Tehran. But new stongman or no, a new threat and a further escalation of Iran's potentia;l threat to the west is emerging. On Wednesday, an unnamed Iranian military official was quoted as saying: “The Bab a-Mandeb Strait is among the most strategic straits in the world, and Iran has both the will and the capability to pose a fully credible threat against it.”

Entering conflict with Yemen-based Houthis in Bab al-Mandeb, which translates into English as Gate of Tears Strait may prove difficult for US military

Strong winds, crosscurrents, reefs and shoals have made the Bab al-Mandeb Strait one of the most perilous of shipping chokepoints and that is without having to content with missile and artillery fire from Houthi guerillas .

The Gate of Tears – its Arabic translation – connects the Suez Canal and the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. It now has another threat in the form of Iranian-backed Houthi rebels spoiling to join the war in the Middle East.

On Saturday, the terror group – which has a history of holding trade hostage in Bab al-Mandeb by firing missiles at ships – boasted of launching ballistic missiles at Israel.

So it appears the U S President was talking his usual bollocks in claimimg progressin his talks with Iran, peace in the middle east is as far away as ever and probably further away that it was at this poni lst week.nA spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces’ Central Staff commented:

“Trump is an unstable and often deceitful individual who has inflicted enormous damage on the peoples of the world.

He has repeatedly threatened Iran with ground operations and the occupation of islands in the Persian Gulf. He is under the influence of the Mossad due to his past actions, making him a tool in the hands of the Zionist entity’s leadership.

He is considered one of the most dishonest world leaders, inconsistent in his positions, and therefore cannot be trusted. He has been given significant powers despite his short-sighted decisions, which have drawn the American military into deadly crises.

American troops are in a state of fear and retreat, resorting to civilian and service facilities in the region, yet remain vulnerable to attack.

The American leadership is far from the battlefield, while it demands steadfastness from its soldiers, while Trump demonstrates a contradiction between threats, retreats, and calls for war, and then negotiations.

His policies have caused grave harm to the people of America, Europe, and countries around the world, especially in West Asia.

The only language he understands is force, and any threat of military action against Iran will be met with a decisive response, as his forces have long been prepared for such a scenario.

Any aggression or occupation will result in a humiliating defeat and heavy losses for the aggressors.

The American leadership must review Iran’s history and learn from the fate of all who have attempted to attack it, and not lure its troops into illusions that lead to their destruction.

The Iranian armed forces confirm their complete readiness to crush any possible attack and confidently await the moment of confrontation. “We stand with you, shoulder to shoulder.”

Which really sums up the position Trump has put himself and the western alliance in. At this stage no one knows how the war will end.

Here is the stark sad reality. A peaceful resolution now or in the future is not possible period. Either Trump finishes the job now or later there will be a far worse dilemma. Iran has never been, and never will be, willing to give up what it considers to be, its God given mission which includes the destruction of Israel.

Israel knowing this will not risk letting this happen. In the meantime, the west will be target to the extent is assists Israel. Who is right, and who is wrong is not material to the discussion. Its a fight to the death. A zero sum game.

Obama and Biden lived in a fantasy world thinking diplomacy and reason would win out and the result was a more embolden, stronger and aggressive Iran (doing what it thinks it correct). Bottom line is: game on and whoever has the strongest will and determination will win. Right now the answer is unclear and Trmp's brain fog is never going to make it any crearer.

With Energy Stocks At End Of Winter Low And Europe Vulnerable To An Energy Crisis, Putin Says Russia May Pull The Plug On Gas Supplies

Russia has threatened to cut off gas supplies to Europe, just as energy reserves are at an end-of-winter low, and as markets experience a spike ‌in energy prices triggered by the Iran crisis. President Vladimir Putin warned of potential action from Russia on Wednesday, linking the possible decision to the European Union wanting to ban purchases of Russian gas and liquefied natural gas.

Oil and gas prices have soared in global commodity markets following the U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran and Tehran's strikes on Gulf Arab neighbours. The conflict has almost halted the flow of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz through which about 30% of the world's oil passes, and forced the shutdown of Qatar’s LNG production and Saudi Arabia’s largest oil refinery.

This threat to Europe's energy security comes as Iran tightens its chokehold on the the marine gateway to the Persian Gulf oil ports through the Strait and Trump's Iran regime change strategy for weakening China by taking out its middle east proxy and main supplier of crude oil and petroleum products seems set to turn into another 'forever war' quagmire.

It is also worth thinking about the effect this Iran skirmish would have on China. Other commentators also seem to be waking up to the idea this has been part of Trump’s explicit strategy all along. Iran in the Middle East, China in the East, were always the main villains in American eyes. The tariff gambit weakened China enough for them to realise that their economy relies on trade with the West and back off their tactic of disrupting western consumer markets.

That gave Washington space to turn its attention to Iran. His brash and bombastic smoke-and-mirror tactics in the arctic, Caribbean and middle east were not just to trigger TDS meltdowns in liberals and lefties for the entertainment of people like me. He had to keep foes and allies alike guessing about what he was really up to.

Trump is now demanding Iran’s unconditional surrender. At last! The only way to break the appeasement stranglehold of the so-called liberal rules-based world order delusion of the Western elites, is the firm hand.Show the upstar BRICS bloc that despite the pussyfooting of a few decades of weak, virtue sgnalling leaders, the west is not finished.

An appeasement strategy and a virtue signalling philosophy of lets-all-be-one-big-happy-global-nation attracts toadies whose inadequacyis quickly exposed when they have to make tough decisions, and they turn into crybullies, coercing their own people into bowing before the threats of tyrants; but it also attracts the amoral charlatan, and the society becomes riddled with bribery and extortion. As we have observed in Europe and the USA

In addition to potential Iranian control of the Gulf, Russia, which could have been an alternative source of hydrocarbons, is already a no-go area for western land and air traffic and Iranian-sponsored Houthis have the potential to control shipping transiting the Red Sea. On top of this, China now poses a threat as it has a naval base at the mouth of the Red Sea at Djibouti and is building a string of dual-purpose ports along the East coast of Africa. Collectively, this choke point and who controls it is known as the 52nd Meridian East Challenge.

Given this context, it's hardly surprising that the US wants to neutralise the threat from China's middle east proxy Iran. It's vital to ensure western Europe-Asia trade, supply chains, and military movement.Somebody, and due to European pussification it could only have veen the USA, had to move to stop the advance of China, which in addition to having become, with the aid and complicity of European and previous US Presidents, the world's leading industrial nation, has also been planning to replace the $US with its own reserve currency and has ben infiltrating and undermining wetern political systems, particularly that of the UK, without opposition for far too long.

After Hitting US Navy Bases, Next Logical Targets For Iran Are Target US Warships: Retired Russian Navy Captain

The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier transits the Strait of Hormuz in 2019
USS Abraham Lincoln in the Straits of Hormuz (Picture: US Navy)

Russian military expert and retired Captain First Rank Vasily Dandykin, commenting on Iran’s retaliation to the US and Israel’s strikes on Iran's capital Tehran and other cities and industrial hubs around the country said, “Judging by satellite pictures, one thing is certain: some of [Iran’s] missile strikes hit their targets, including the base of the US 5th Fleet,

“While there were no ships there, it’s clear that the strike itself was significant. It’s clear the base’s famous radar dome – one of the most important and expensive elements of the US missile defense system, was damaged. Some estimates suggest it cost over $1B, and detects missile launches at long ranges. This is a major loss for the US, and because it probably works in Israel’s interest, theirs as well.”

Iran’s targeting of US bases also included “real losses” of personnel, something the administration may try to minimize, Dandykin believes.

Going forward, Iran could launch additional strikes on the bases it already hit, find new targets, and, “most likely,” target “American naval forces,” according to the observer. It seems the retired officer knows a thing or two because almost as soon as his comment had hit the online news sites we were hearing that Iran's Revolutionary Guard says it has targeted the massive US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln which was sent to Middle Eastern waters by President Donald Trump as part of its pressure campaign aimed at bringing down the Islamic theocracy that has ruled Iran for almost 50 years.

But it has often been said that a ship cannot defeat a for and air raids alone do not win a war. Iran is on a position to block the Strait of Hormuz and cause economic chaos.

Iran's forces launched four ballistic missiles toward USS Abraham Lincoln today (Sunday 1 March), the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp said in a statement reported by state media. It seems likelt the carrier was heading to the Gulf to prevent Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz, through which 30% of the world's oil moves in huge, vulnerable tankers.

The giant warship is one of two aircraft carriers deployed to the region in recent weeks, and the only one relatively close to Iranian shores.The attempted strike is part of Iran’s revenge attacks after the US and Israel killed supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei.

The US military said it hit an Iranian ship as part of its ongoing operation.

"The ship is currently sinking to the bottom of the Gulf of Oman at a Chah Bahar pier," the US military wrote. "As the president said, members of Iran's armed forces, IRGC and police 'must lay down your weapons'. Abandon ship."

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer who spent the past week trying to appease President Trump and save his disatrous Chagos deal while simultaneously sucking up to the Iranian regime, today abandoned this futile attempt to ride two horses with one arse, especially as he's better known as a sausage jockey than an equestrian stunt man, and declared UK support for the US / Israeli campaign.

It has often been said common sense is an uncommon quality. You can already see how the US and Israel are losing the plot in a conflict many fear could escalate into nulear war. Trump talks about four weeks, while Iran is ready to fight US and Israel for months, maybe years, and even US lawmakers can feel their president is in deep trouble, with no real plan after the first strikes. Needless to say, a prolonged war with Iran around the Gulf will lead to an energy crisis in the developed nations

It is the same show as last year when the US and Israel bombed Iran's nuclear plants, but decalred victory too soon: chest beating, “shock and awe,” TV bragging, bombs, planes, fireworks in the sky, but no real strategy and no way out. We saw this in Iraq, we saw it in Afghanistan. That is why I am sure US and Israel will end up stuck and bleeding.

And somewhere, Putin is watching all this, smiling, counting every mistake, knowing Washington is burning energy, money, and power in another endless war it cannot win.

Erdogan Says Israel Is Dragging Whole Region Into All-Out War

As news comes in of Islamic militia Hezbollah launching its retribution for Israel's sneaky sabotage of pagrs and raio's used in Lebanon, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused Israel of dragging the whole Middle East into a full scale regional war. The Turkish president has previously laid sole blame on Israel for everything that's happened since October 7 last year.

Meanwhile The United Nations is warning of 'catastrophe' in Lebanon while special coordinator for Lebanon, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, said on X, "With the region on the brink of an imminent catastrophe, it cannot be overstated enough: there is NO military solution that will make either side safer."

"I have been saying all along that Israel targets not only the Gaza Strip, the recent attacks on Lebanon have confirmed our suspicion that the Israeli leadership's plan is to spread the war to the entire region," Erdogan said. It certainly seems so as the pager attack rndomly struck inside Lebanon and though Israel claims it targeted only Hezbollah fighters, civilians were also struck by the sabotaged devices which were on open sale throughout Lebanon.

Following the exploding pagers stunt we can expect that any Mossad and Military Intelligence (Aman) headquarters/offices in israel, and even beyond, will now be prime targets by Hezbollah and other Resistance members. It's also likely that the CIA and MI6 knew very well what was going on and kept close tabs on it etc etc

If the pager sabotage was an effort to target Hezbollah members, the ideal system would have included tracking of the pagers, including such basics as whether or not they were even turned on and so forth. However pagers are relatively unsophisticated gadgets and its unlikely the firmwar needed for such a task would have been incorporated into the latest models.

If Hezbollah at some point began dismantling pagers to check or doing diagnostics on the software (both relatively time consuming and small scale, being limited by the number of experts trusted to be able to do this) the Zionists could have deduced Hezbollah was catching on.

The intrinsic difficulty of deciding whether it was a handful of pagers intercepted pager by pager somewhere before being bought by the members, or all of a particular brand, or merely all of a particular shipment, would have delayed the time. Even worse, dissemination of the discovery would have been slowed by the need to investigate whether any internal turncoats or Lebanese opponents of Hizbullah were players in the affair. And deciding what to do about it depended on being relatively sure precisely what the problem was. These seem to me to be reasonable questions that destroy the credibility of Isrsel's claims..

On the other hand, the Zionists may have just found out Hizbullah was switching to pagers (deducing it partly from the drop in cell phone sigint?) They seeded some rigged pagers with no such tracing and merely hope a random one time signal might take out enough Hizbullah to profit them. It's not like civilian collateral damage is a high cost for them, they wouldn't see much or any outrage over more or less random terrorism.

As to the effect? It's good PR for Zionist supporters as a making the Zionists look both ruthless and effective. State sponsored terrorism is never a strategy guaranteed to win in the long run, but only rational people are much more likely to be concerned with the long run.

The World Is being Dragged Towards War And Western Weakness Is To Blame

This week's news so far has focused on the worsening situation in the middle east, as western leaders appear to be accepting that there was from day one no way Ukraine could win its war with Russia and that since US and NATO leaders refused to allow Ukraine to negotiate a settlement based on the reasonable terms offered by Russia as the Istanbul talks brokered by Turkish president Recep Erdogan in April 2022 there is now no way Ukraine can avoid a crushing defeat or survive as a nation in the aftermath.

No wonder them that The White House and NATO are so eager to divert attention to events in Israel, Iran, Gaza, The Strait of Hormuz and The Red Sea. Unfortunately rather than learing from the mistakes that led to the debacle in Ukraine, the same western leaders now appear to be determined to repeat them. Or as somebody famous one said, "Its deja vu all over again."

By failing to give whole - hearted support to either Ukraine or Israel the western alliance has shown itself to be weak and indecisive. NATO should have taken decisive steps to halt both conflicts and then made clear to both the neo - Nazis in Kiev and the Zionists in Tel Aviv that future support in conflicts against bigger, more powerful neighbours would be conditional on their behaving properly and desisting from provocative actions.

Right now in the Middle East (Ukraine is lost,) we need rational, controlled escalation from the Western powers in the face of aggression by Iran and their proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah,not more appeasement, delusion and cowardice of the past few days. The authoritarian, theocratic regime in Tehran needs to be punished for its monstrous war-mongering, not mollified and placated by a bunch of Western ignoramuses who confuse weakness for virtue.

But as has been the case since the end of World War Two, the liberal democracies look to America for leadership. And as has been the case for the past forty years at least, that leadership has not been forthcoming. Were Joe (Dementia Man) Biden a serious president, he would announce that the mullahs in Tehran have crossed a red line, that they are an existential threat to democravy and civilised coexistence. He would declare that enough is enough, that no country can shoot hundreds of drones and missiles at one of its neighbours with impunity, that no government can go on funding terrorism, rape, torture and murder on an industrial scale. He would understand the need to deter other rogue states through a show of strength.

But Joe Biden is not a serious president, in fact many commentators in Washington express doubt that Biden is actually the de facto president. The "Biden Administration" they claim is really Obama 3.0, and is neither blind nor incompetent. The people in government are corrupt to an unimaginable degree. Obama (or Soetoro, Dunham or any other name he has gone by,) rakes in tens of millions in kickbacks from the Iran nuclear deal, and of course, Biden, as the puppet, gets his cut too.

That's how "Obama" has managed to buy more than $60 million in homes in recent years. They have no loyalty to the United States (which "Obama" has said he hates almost as much as he hates Israel), and they are naturally reluctant to cut off such a lucrative source of income.

If O'Bama really is the man making decisions in The White House, he has never really favoured the West or Israel and I still believe he is a closet Muslim. The West has also, for the afore mentioned forty years, been its own worst enemy by appeasing rogue states, tolerating and even rewarding terrorists and walloeing in a morass of collective guilt over the alleged sins of our colonial past. The U.K. was a leader in this ruch to self destruction, gaving immunity to the I.R.A. in order for the Good Friday agreement to succeed, negotiating a power sharing agreement in Northern Ireland which gave former terrorists power over the very people whose families the terrorists had spent years killing. The UK government are still prosecuting our soldiers today while former terrorists is in the regional parliament and are lauded as men of peace.

The problem with this appeasement is Terrorists never go away and as we can see they seem to have an ever expanding network which sooner or later the West will be forced to face.

The egregious nuclear deal with Iran which was negotiated during the Obama’ presidency has been a triumph of naive hope over experience (back in the days when we were still on speaking terms with Russia, Vladimir Putin described Obama as a child, French President Nicolas Sarkozy dismissed him as inexperienced and a British MP of the days said Obama's problem was that he thought himself President of The World.

With Biden’s increasingly frequent senior moments it seems plausible that Obama continues to pull the strings. If, as seems likely, that is the case none of the current kerfuffles will end well for we citizens of the western nations.

THOUGHTS ON ISLAM IC MILITANCY

Yusuf al Qaradawi, spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, said:

'With your democratic laws we will colonise you; with our Quranic laws we will dominate you.'

Karl Popper said: "Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

Islam is an Ideology, a collection of ideas and beliefs, not a race or ethnicity. Just because an ideology is based around conceptions of God or divine communication, does not make it any less an ideology; it does not receive some special dispensation making it impervious to criticism (indeed, it should receive extra scrutiny if that ideology claims precedence over political and legal structures, as Islam does).

Make no mistake, the ideology of Islam is the enemy of secular liberal democracy. Every society it infects becomes more violent, segregated, repressed, and ignorant.

It is easy to see, from any historical record, or any current metric regarding economic, cultural or social outcomes, that Islam is a cancerous ideology. It makes half the population (women) second class citizens (or outright property); it imposes a positive feedback loop of circular idiocy; a bland mono-culture of arbitrary chauvinistic rules backed with the threat of violence; it seems to be in constant conflict with every other ideology on the planet; it has the explicit goal of dominating and subverting all other societies and belief systems. Given free reign, it nearly always creeps towards some form of totalitarian Theocracy

White House Says It Will Fake "Chemical Weapon Attack" In Syria
The White House claims that the Syrian government is preparing "chemical weapon attacks". This is clearly not the case. Syria is winning the war against the country.

Saudi Arabia Bids For Islamic Globalisation
soon after the suicide bomb at The Manchester Arena, I felt obliged to defriend someone on facebook, whom I have known online for around ten years. So what did this sweet lady, who writes books on medieval witchcraft and calls herself a pagan, do to piss me off? She showed herself to be a hypocrite by posting a whinge about people reacting with anger and 'hate' to this latest atrocity; "I'm all about compassion, I will not stand by and see Muslims victimised because of this." Oh yeah? And what about the dead and injured victimised by a muslim extremist?

I don't know why the politically correct left are getting so worked up about The Trump, American politics is even more tightly controlled by big money than the European system, and the really big money (Golman Sachs, J P Morgan, Soros and company) are not going to let him win. It would upset thrir buddies in Saudi Arabia too much.

US Presidents Of The Past warned Against Secret, Shadow Government.
