❗️IMF warns war in West Asia to drive higher prices and slower growth

The war in West Asia has significantly disrupted the economies of countries on the front lines and is weakening the recovery prospects of many economies that had only recently begun to rebound from earlier crises, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned on Monday.

In a blog post by the institution’s chief economists, the IMF said the US-Israeli war on Iran is producing a global but uneven shock, while also tightening financial conditions.

According to the International Energy Agency, Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz and damage to regional infrastructure have led to what it described as the most severe disruption ever seen in the global oil market. The overall impact will depend on how long the war lasts, how widely it spreads, and the extent of damage to infrastructure and supply chains.

NOW - Jerome Powell on the $38,990,000,000,000 U.S. national debt: "We don't have to pay the debt down, we just need to have primary balance and begin to have the economy actually growing better... It will not end well if we don't do something fairly soon."

Iran Says That In Two Weeks It Will Have Taken Out All US-Israeli Air-defences

Already there has been a significant degradation of American & Israeli air defences, yet Tehran says that within the next two weeks all its radars and interceptor missile capabilities will be destroyed.

a nuclear scientist just got killed in an airstrike in Iran and honestly i need to talk about this because western media won't & i think most people don't understand what they're looking at

as i've been explaining for weeks now in multiple threads, Israel through Mossad has been assassinating Iranian scientists for over a decade and i genuinely think the Fakhrizadeh case is one of the most terrifying operations in modern intelligence history

this man was killed in 2020 by a remote controlled ai-powered machine gun smuggled into Iran in pieces over several months, the whole thing weighed a ton, it was mounted on a pickup truck on the side of the road and operated via satellite from a Mossad command center 1 600 km away, 15 bullets fired in under 60 seconds, the AI compensated for the satellite delay the recoil and the speed of the car in real time, that's how far they're willing to go to eliminate Iranian brainpower one by one

but here's what i find fascinating, the assassinations didn't break the ecosystem because it runs too deep, so they escalated, US just bombed Iran's university of science and technology, one of the oldest and most prestigious in the country and if you've been following me you already know why this matters

these are the same institutions that took Iran from 58th to 4th in the world in nanotechnology in 20y that produce the engineers who designed the Arvand rocket engine and the maneuverable reentry vehicles, that trained the physicists behind the MRBM to IRBM leap to 4 000 km on Diego Garcia, i've been writing about this scientific ecosystem for years and everything happening right now is the logical continuation of what i already laid out

and i think that's the part nobody wants to say out loud, this war was never about nukes or regime change, i believe it's about dismantling the only sovereign state in the Middle East and i mean the ONLY ONE

look at every other country in the region, Saudi Arabia outsources its entire defense to the Pentagon & couldn't fight a war in Yemen for 8y without American logistics and still lost, the UAE bought F-35s in exchange for normalizing with Israel, Qatar hosts the largest US air base in the region at Al Udeid, Bahrain hosts the US Fifth fleet, Kuwait, Iraq Jordan are military protectorates in everything but name none of these countries design manufacture or deploy their own weapons systems, none of them have an indigenous defense industry, their sovereignty ends where the next Lockheed Martin contract begins, if Washington calls tomorrow and says stop they stop because they literally cannot function without american hardware

Iran is the ONLY country in that entire region that built everything from scratch under 40y of total embargo because NOBODY would sell them anything and that's exactly why they're the target

they know the only way to stop this machine is to kill the people who build it…and when killing them one by one wasn't enough to crack an ecosystem too deep to break, they started bombing the universities directly and i'll say this as clearly as i can

you don't bomb a university when you're winning a war, you bomb a university when you've realized the real threat was never the arsenal it was the intelligence behind it and you have no idea how to stop it

You said it, Robin. These people are clearly in hell and every attempt to deny or cover that up only takes them deeper in. As a psychologist, I find it fascinating because on some deep subconscious level, all these actions must actually be driven by personal shame (eg. support a genocide of a million because you're too ashamed to admit you raped a child). And so the depravity takes them deeper into the spiral of destruction - and eventually self-destruction. It's always the same pattern with all shame-denial cycles...so I have no doubt at all that they will destroy themselves eventually. The question is what will be left of us and the planet at the end of all that.
