I'm pondering why the Pam Bondi firing got oil prices to drop for a few hours.
41 countries announced scheduling a meeting next week to try and open the Strait of Hormuz
An F15-E
Looks like one of the pilots made his way out.
I believe those are two person jets - pilot and a weapons operator.

Yes, I'm aware.
And you can bet that the IRGC has put a bounty on their head.

Yes. It is reported on X that the government is offering 10 billion Rials. Reports indicate state/local (?) media called for the pilots to be shot on site. Then that changed to the reward.
Fox reports one of the two crew members were safely recovered.
10 billion rials sounds like a fortune but after checking two currency converters, it appears to be a reward of about $7500.tequila4kapp said:DiabloWags said:tequila4kapp said:

That's probably a decent amount of money when the median household income is only $4,360 USD.
This doesn't sound good.

Forgive us if we don't believe unnamed sources leaking information to CNN. There is only one benefit to leaking information like that
Other experts think remaining missile and drone inventory is closer to 75%.
Look up Dr Postol from MIT, or Chicago's Robert Pape, who has lectured on Iranian military capabilities at the USAF and gamed war scenarios for over 20 years.

So much for Pete Hegseth's and President Chump's repeated assertions of uncontested air dominance and air superiority.
It's AMATEUR HOUR.

Do they have hypersonic missiles?

This might be the dumbest Tweet of the Year by Alexander Muse and it's still early.
Ship traffic is anything but NORMAL.
It never "resumed to normal".
As of early April 2026, roughly 7 to 16 ships are passing through the Strait of Hormuz per day, representing a >90% drop from the pre-conflict average of ~130 - 150 ships.
AIS data indicates that traffic is restricted, with a high concentration of Iran-linked, Chinese, and Indian vessels using a specific, permission-based corridor.
Sadly, these repeated garbage "tweets" pollute the forum. Please spare us these highly misleading posts.

Censorship has always been a tool of the fascist
It's shocking that there are people that are allegedly college educated (and Cal alums?) who fall for the repeated BS by a conservative "influencer" who never made it thru college.
It makes them look stupid.
Really stupid.
But hey, Alexander Muse is following all of this from his COMMAND CENTER!
We are all so blessed.
Where would we be without the real truth?
Thank You Alexander Muse for posting the Truth.
It's so FASCINATING, isnt it?
"I find it fascinating that everyone is desperate to paint everything in as negative light as possible. The traffic below is from just now (I have the AIS tracker on my phone and on a screen in the command center)."

Chump Press Conference at 10 AM PST.
An oil tanker carrying crude from Iraq appeared to be transiting the Strait of Hormuz chokepoint, a day after Iran said its neighbor had special exemption to use the waterway.
The Suezmax Ocean Thunder picked up its cargo from Iraq's Basrah terminal in early March and is now bound for Malaysia, according to tanker-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. Such vessels can carry about 1 million barrels of crude. The Asian nation has also received dispensation to use the strait, which is blocked for most other countries.

The United States can maintain gas prices under 4 dollars based strictly on Canadian and US reserves and refining
As a net exporter of petroleum products and crude oil, the U.S. overall makes more revenue when fossil fuel prices rise
The strategic reserve is about 58% full. This is up from historic lows of around 350 million barrels in 2022-2023 after major drawdowns
Careful who you listen to. Money is made by selling panic.
This post sure didn't age very well.

That was for a two week war, which I believed it would be ant the time. Are you really arguing in that bad of faith that you think that wouldn't change as the war extended? Come on now.
And to be fair, gas is barely over $4 nationally.
