Makes you wonder, maybe Israel didn't need DJT to be president in 2020.  They need him now.  Dirty tricks but good timing.  

As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.

Genesis 50:20

JUST IN: Iran Expected to Close Strait of Hormuz, Blocking Access to Oil Routes for 20% of Global Oil Production – Marco Rubio Says Move Would be “a Massive Escalation that Would Merit a Response”:

Iran’s parliament voted to approve the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response to last night’s attacks on the country’s nuclear facilities by U.S. forces.

The Strait is used as a route for roughly 20% of the world’s oil shipping, which is expected to impact oil prices if the move is approved by Iran’s Supreme Council.

India, which reportedly imports about 80% of its oil through the Stair of Hormuz, is expected to be hit hard.

President Trump addressed the nation last night, hours after the attack, which he called a “spectacular military success.” He further threatened Iran that “there are many targets left” and “we will go after those other targets with precision, speed, and skill” if they retaliate.

Closing the Strait of Hormuz could be just one of the retaliatory measures Iran takes in response to the U.S. jumping into Israel’s war.

Shipping lanes in the strait  — the area that is deep enough for ships to pass — are even narrower at less than two miles wide in each direction, making them much more vulnerable to attacks and threats of closure.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responded to the attack, stating, “war starts right now.”

DHS: 11 Iranian Nationals Arrested Across U.S. over Weekend:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials report the arrest of 11 Iranian nationals, including some who are illegally present in the United States. The arrests came over the weekend when President Donald Trump ordered the strategic bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities. Officials said [m]any of these are known or suspected terrorists.

In a written statement, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said, “Under Secretary Noem, DHS has been full throttle on identifying and arresting known or suspected terrorists and violent extremists that illegally entered this country, came in through Biden’s fraudulent parole programs or otherwise.”

Breitbart Texas reported that Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 1,500 Iranian nationals during the four fiscal years of the Biden administration. Nearly half of those were released by Biden officials into the U.S. interior.

Report: Locals Fear Socialist NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani’s City-Run Grocers Idea Spells Corruption:

A Democratic socialist running for mayor of New York City wants to create city-run grocery stores, but his idea is not going over well with locals, according to a City Journal report published Tuesday.

Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani outlined his platform on his website saying people in his city are struggling with the cost of groceries.

The site then declared Mamdani “will create a network of city-owned grocery stores focused on keeping prices low, not making a profit. Without having to pay rent or property taxes, they will reduce overhead and pass on savings to shoppers. They will buy and sell at wholesale prices, centralize warehousing and distribution, and partner with local neighborhoods on products and sourcing. With New York City already spending millions of dollars to subsidize private grocery store operators (which are not even required to take SNAP/WIC!), we should redirect public money to a real ‘public option.'”

The Journal article by Adam Lehoday cited the owner of Appleton’s Marketplace on West End Avenue, Hamza, who said Mamdani might have good intentions but the idea could spiral into “corruption and money laundering, like we’ve seen in some of the other agencies.”

The report also said more problems could arise because opening such ventures would fail to address the crime and poverty that is shutting down grocery stores in some neighborhoods.

Mamdani claimed the stores will “operate without a profit motive.”

Per the Journal article, Lehoday cited neighbors who feared corruption within Mamdani’s plan and one person said the city-run grocery stores had the potential of being “as well run as the U.S. Postal Service.”

The article also posed the question of what exactly Mamdani was trying to solve, noting it would be a good idea to assess the actual problems. The report claimed Mamdani assumes the issue lies with “corporate greed.”

However, “since grocery stores aren’t making large profits, his plan is unlikely to deliver meaningfully cheaper goods. What savings could be achieved by eliminating rental costs will likely be vastly outweighed by a lack of supply chains and scalability, and by theft and criminal damage. Only by pouring heavy subsidies into the operation could the city keep it running,” the article read.
