“China and Hong Kong comprise the most valuable fleets of commercial ships in the world..

But European and American insurance brokers underwrite 90% of maritime insurance in the world, and on the first day of the war against Iran canceled insurance coverage..

Hong Kong now writes insurance coverage for ships from Mainland China and Hong Kong, even those transiting the Persian Gulf. What's more, Iranian authorities are clearing China-flagged vessels to pass safely.”

“Iran wants ships to transit the strait close to its coast so it can register them and impose tolls.

But the United States and other countries have imposed sanctions on Iran, so doing business with the regime would violate the law, LMA said.

That leaves shipping companies with few good options — especially as the Houthis have announced a blockade of the Bab al-Mandeb strait, leaving few remaining paths for Middle Eastern oil to get to its customers.”

“'Wipe out the memory of Amalek' has become an oft-used phrase at the highest levels of Israel’s government, a dog whistle well understood to call for the extermination of the Palestinians.

Now, by linking Iran and Amalek, Israel’s government seems to be bringing that same genocidal logic to its latest conflict—only one of a number of different religious frameworks Netanyahu’s government is working within as it wages war alongside the United States.”

“At nearly every stage, Republicans and Democrats in Congress – along with presidents from both major parties – have laid the foundation for a war on Iran.

Over time, escalation itself became normalized.

Economic warfare became cyber sabotage. Cyber sabotage became targeted assassinations. By the time Trump entered the White House for his second term, the framework for America’s long-awaited war on Iran was already in place.

All he had to do was pull the trigger.”
