An analytical new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Donald Trump threatened to “bomb the shit” out of his Persian Gulf ally Oman, which controls half of the Strait of Hormuz and is in talks with Iran to reopen it, says he then posted an image on his Truth Social account showing the Strait of Hormuz as a new United States territory—top Iranian negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf then declared: “The Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States meets the conditions of the interim deal with Iran, including lifting its maritime blockade and sanctions, as well as freeing Iran’s frozen assets”—all of which was joined with grim news: “Declarations by Iran and the U.S. earlier this week make the prospect of peace in the Middle East even more distant, driving crude oil prices higher...Meanwhile, the diesel crack spread in the U.S. topped $100 per barrel for the first time in history”.
Mindful of its global investor readers demanding facts and truth instead of fake narratives and war propaganda, this report notes, the Wall Street Journal released its article “Iran Is Defying U.S. Pressure by Becoming a ‘Survival Economy’” factually documenting that Iran is no where close to an economic collapse—then it released its article “Iran’s Secret Plan To Escalate The War”, wherein chief Iranian negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf described the current stalemate as “the calm before the storm”, and Iran negotiating team member Mohammad Hassan Sangtarash warned: “There is a widespread view in Iran that the main war has not yet begun...The Iranian nation still has much unfinished business with Trump, and Iran is prepared for the great confrontation”.
Along with President Trump blockading the Strait of Hormuz to stop goods from entering or leaving Iran, this report continues, his Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent vowed to force Iran’s capitulation with sanctions, that Ambassador Mike Waltz branded “Operation Economic Fury”—Pakistan has already countered all of these American moves by opening six massive land corridors allowing goods to and from Iran to bypass the blockaded Strait of Hormuz—and world-renowned retired CIA senior analyst Larry Johnson, in his intelligence report “The Walls Have Doors Now: Why Bessent’s “Unprecedented” Sanctions On Iran — Operation Economic Fury — Will Fail”, assessed today:
Bessent’s plan to force
The instrument that worked
in 2015 worked because isolation was total and because the money still ran
through American pipes.
Today neither condition holds, and neither can be
restored by American action alone, because the decisive variables — the
willingness of Russia, China, and Pakistan to keep the physical doors open, and
the migration of Iran’s oil revenue into CIPS-cleared yuan — lie outside
Washington’s control.
“Maximum pressure” can
inflict maximum pain; the currency collapse proves that. What it can no longer
reliably produce is surrender, because a state that imports through Pakistani roads,
finances through a BRICS bank, sells its oil for yuan beyond the dollar’s
reach, and fights under a shield that Moscow and Beijing help repair has room
to endure that the Iran of 2015 did not.
The likely outcome is
therefore not capitulation but a more thoroughly Eastern-aligned
The deepest irony of
Operation Economic Fury is that the harder
Bessent may yet unveil measures the world has
never seen. He cannot unveil a world in

As for the cost of America fighting a losing war in a world that no longer exists, this report concludes, it beyond shockingly revealed today: “The U.S. fiscal deficit jumped to $432.3 billion in July, its highest monthly total since March 2021, pushing the year-to-date shortfall to nearly $1.8 trillion...Interest paid to finance the nearly $40 trillion national debt has cost the government about $1.2 trillion this year”.
