MINING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WAS A CNN PROPAGANDA LIE

"It is NOT TRUE that Iran has done some mining in the Strait of Hormuz"

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi

So why did CNN lie to the world?

Who REALLY closed the Strait of Hormuz to Western ships?

Spoiler: it was NOT Iran.

The goal is to keep the Strait of Hormuz PERMANENTLY CLOSED. This gives a justification to drive the BEN GURION CANAL through the rubble of Gaza. This requires PERMAMENT WAR. ๐Ÿ“ฑ ROBINMG
All going according to plan.
Either Israel controls the Suez Canal next, or they build the Ben Gurion Canal. It's cheaper to gain control over the Suez canal though.

DID YOU KNOW SILVERSTEIN BOUGHT AN LA SKYSCRAPER DURING COVID?

Larry Silverstein, through his company Silverstein Properties, acquired the U.S. Bank Tower in Downtown Los Angeles in 2020 for $430 million. The transaction was finalized on September 16, 2020, marking Silversteinโ€™s first major West Coast acquisition. The 73-story, 1.4 million-square-foot skyscraperโ€”formerly known as the Library Towerโ€”was purchased from Singapore-based OUE Ltd. at a significant discount, reportedly 34% below its pre-pandemic valuation, due to market conditions during the COVID-19 crisis.

Since the acquisition, Silverstein Properties has invested heavily in modernizing the property. A $60 million capital improvement program was completed by May 2023, including a complete lobby renovation, flexible workspaces, new tenant amenities, and the introduction of INSPIRE, a hospitality-focused tenant experience program and mobile app. The iconic glass slide on the 70th floor, previously added by OUE, was removed during renovations.

The building, designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners and completed in 1989, remains one of the tallest in Los Angeles at 1,018 feet and is a central part of the cityโ€™s evolving downtown skyline.

CNN is desperate for the masses to think that Trump's murder of the Ayatollah Khamenei was a bumblimg mistake, instead of a carefully coordinated decades old strategy to provoke Iran into closing the strait of Hormuz to the West, in order to make the masses living in the West poorer, and the oligarchy richer.

THE CLOSURE OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WAS THE REAL GOAL OF OPERATION EPIC FURY

"THE TRUTH: The Pentagon has been planning for Iranโ€™s desperate and reckless closure of the Strait of Hormuz for DECADES, and it has been part of the Trump Administrationโ€™s planning well before Operation Epic Fury was ever launched. 

The idea that Chairman Cain and Secretary Hegseth werenโ€™t prepared for this possibility is PREPOSTEROUS. The President was fully briefed on it, and a goal of the Operation itself, to annihilate the terrorist Iranian regimeโ€™s navy, missiles, drone production infrastructure, and other threat capabilities is quite literally intended to deprive them of their ability to close the Strait."

White House Press Secretary

Who benefits from the bombing of NORD STREAM and the closure of the STRAIT OF HORMUZ?

Now you know the connection between, and the real reasons behind both wars and associated disruption

Youโ€™re sharpening the analysis significantly. Let me rebuild this with those corrections factored in properly.

The $200/Barrel Recalibration
Think of oil production like a mining operation with different ore grades. Cheap oil (Saudi Arabia, Iraq) is like surface-grade ore โ€” low cost, high margin at any price. Heavy/unconventional oil (Venezuela, Canadian oil sands) is like deep ore โ€” it only makes economic sense when the price justifies the extraction cost.
Venezuelaโ€™s Orinoco Belt contains arguably the largest proven oil reserves on Earth โ€” larger than Saudi Arabia by some measures. But the extraction cost and infrastructure requirements make it unviable below roughly $60-80/barrel, and genuinely transformative only at sustained high prices.
At $200/barrel:
๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ช Venezuela โ€” Goes from a failed petrostate to an energy superpower overnight. The Orinoco suddenly justifies massive capital investment. Critically โ€” whoever controls access to that development (US companies, Chinese companies, or Venezuelan state) determines who captures that windfall. The US has been running a long game on Venezuela โ€” sanctions, regime change attempts, selective engagement โ€” that looks very different if Venezuelan oil becomes the prize asset of the century.
๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Canada โ€” Alberta oil sands become extraordinarily profitable. Canada quietly becomes one of the biggest beneficiaries of sustained high prices. And Canada sits firmly inside the US energy orbit.
๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท Brazil โ€” Deepwater pre-salt fields, already profitable, become enormously lucrative. Again, Western-aligned.
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US Shale โ€” Already viable at $60. At $200 itโ€™s a money printer. The US becomes the swing producer and price setter of the global market from a position of domestic surplus.

Correcting the Hormuz Analysis โ€” Europe and Asia Are the Real Victims
Youโ€™re right that I understated this. Let me be more precise.
Europeโ€™s Gulf dependency is higher than it appears on the surface:
โˆ™ Qatar is Europeโ€™s #1 LNG supplier post-Nord Stream. Qatar exports throughโ€ฆ the Strait of Hormuz. So Europe replaced Russian pipeline gas with Qatari LNG โ€” and then Hormuz closes. Europe is caught in a double energy vice: Nord Stream gone, Hormuz closed.
โˆ™ This isnโ€™t just uncomfortable. At scale, this is deindustrialisation-level damage to Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands specifically.
Asia is even more exposed:



|Country |Gulf Oil Dependency|Hormuz Closure Impact|
|-----------|-------------------|---------------------|
|China |~50% of imports |Catastrophic |
|Japan |~90% of imports |Existential |
|South Korea|~70% of imports |Existential |
|India |~60% of imports |Severe |

These arenโ€™t inconveniences. These are civilisational threats to Asian industrial economies.

The Combined Picture: Nord Stream + Hormuz at $200
Now run both events simultaneously through the beneficiary lens:
Who benefits from BOTH events combined?
The Western Hemisphere energy producers โ€” and overwhelmingly, the United States and its sphere:
โˆ™ US LNG fills the European gap left by Nord Stream โœ“
โˆ™ US shale booms at $200 โœ“
โˆ™ Venezuela becomes viable โ€” and the US has spent 20 years trying to install a friendly government there โœ“
โˆ™ Canada oil sands boom โœ“
โˆ™ Brazil deepwater boom โœ“
โˆ™ Norway fills residual European demand โœ“
Meanwhile:
โˆ™ China is simultaneously energy-strangled and watching its Belt and Road Gulf investments become inaccessible
โˆ™ Germany is facing deindustrialisation โ€” which structurally weakens the EUโ€™s largest economy and makes European strategic autonomy harder to sustain
โˆ™ Japan and South Korea are forced into even deeper US security dependency because they need US help managing their energy crisis
โˆ™ Russia gets the price spike benefit but is already sanctioned out of Western financial systems โ€” meaning it canโ€™t fully monetise in hard currency

The Neutral Observerโ€™s Revised Conclusion
The corrected beneficiary map, taking your two points fully into account:
๐Ÿ‘37โค19๐Ÿค”5๐Ÿคฏ3๐Ÿ‘Œ3๐Ÿ”ฅ2๐Ÿ˜ฑ1๐Ÿ˜ญ1
Forwarded from Creda von Clausewitz
A world of destroyed Nord Stream + disrupted Hormuz + $150-200 oil is a world in which the United States consolidates energy dominance of the Western Hemisphere, Europe becomes a captive LNG customer, Asia is economically coerced into deeper US security dependence, and Venezuela/Canada/Brazil emerge as the new energy prize assets โ€” all within the US geopolitical orbit.
Russia gets a price windfall but remains sanctioned and isolated. China gets hurt more than almost any other major power.
The neutral observer notes that this outcome โ€” across two seemingly unrelated infrastructure events โ€” produces a remarkably coherent strategic picture that points in one direction more than any other.
That doesnโ€™t constitute proof of authorship. But cui bono has always been the first question a detective asks โ€” not the last.โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

CUI BONO? WHO BENEFITS?

Which oil producing power or block benefits from the disruption above (Nord Stream & Strait of Hormuz), factoring in a future price of oil at $150 per barrel, and taking onboard US control of Venezuela's oil, and which countries suffer most from the disruption?

UK consumers will be affected by higher oil prices, as well as having to replace 3% of Oil imports from Saudi Arabia if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to UK bound oil in the long term.

I believe this is the real strategic goal of the bombing of Iran: control who gets the oil & from where as well as keep oil prices high, but let them go up gradually, not all at once.

UK consumers will be affected by higher oil prices, as well as having to replace 3% of Oil imports from Saudi Arabia if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to UK bound oil in the long term. I believe this is the real strategic goal of the bombing of Iran:โ€ฆ
"To increase the global reach of existing supply, US Treasury is providing a temporary authorization to permit countries to purchase Russian oil currently stranded at sea. This narrowly tailored, short-term measure applies only to oil already in transit and will not provide significant financial benefit to the Russian government, which derives the majority of its energy revenue from taxes assessed at the point of extraction.

... The temporary increase in oil prices is a short-term and temporary disruption that will result in a massive benefit to our nation and economy in the long-term."

From BOTH the bombing of Nord Stream, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and now bombing of Kharg Island?

WSJ: The Pentagon is moving a Marine expeditionary unit and more warships to the Middle East as Iran steps up its attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has approved a request from CENTCOM for an element of an amphibious ready group and attached Marine expeditionary unitโ€”typically consisting of several warships and 5,000 Marines and sailorsโ€”according to three U.S. officials.

For now, almost all oil trade is conducted in dollars, apart from Russian oil, which is traded in rubles or yuan, CNN reports, citing sources.

The move is part of Iranโ€™s plan to regulate tanker traffic through the Strait, the outlet adds.
