The heads of the world’s three key economic and energy institutions said in a joint statement that the ongoing war in West Asia has led to “one of the largest supply shortages in the history of the global energy market” and is already having devastating effects on the economies of vulnerable countries, especially low-income energy importers.

For this reason, the International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WBG) announced the formation of a coordination group to manage the consequences of this crisis.

In part, the statement states that “the war in the Middle East has caused major disruptions to people’s lives and livelihoods in the region, and its impact is significant, global and highly asymmetric.” Therefore, the group is tasked with assessing the severity of the impacts in different countries, estimating financial needs and, in cooperation with regional and international partners, providing targeted support to countries at risk.

Economic experts consider the formation of this coordination group to reflect the unprecedented severity of the current crisis and concerns about its spread to other sectors of the global economy.

CNN reported that Donald Trump and his administration are increasingly convinced that they cannot declare the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz a prerequisite for declaring the end of the war mission in Iran.

Donald Trump and his administration have tried on several occasions to remove responsibility for ensuring the passage of ships through this vital waterway for global trade from their administration and hand it over to other countries, especially European countries.

Many analysts have warned the Trump administration in recent days that there is no reasonable and safe option for the US to return the Strait of Hormuz to its pre-war status.

Inside the White House, many senior officials understand that reopening the vital waterway, which is under Tehran’s control, is essential not only to end the war but also to reduce skyrocketing oil and gasoline prices.

Sardar Reza Talaeinik: The enemy has suffered a heavy defeat in the disintegration and collapse of the Islamic Republic of Iran, weakening the armed forces, creating a split in national sovereignty, creating internal chaos, opening the strategic Strait of Hormuz, and also in pushing the people away from the field of resistance and defense.

Completing the punishment of the enemy, obtaining compensation or its equivalent destruction, and completing the escape of American soldiers from the region and the complete destruction of American bases, as well as ensuring that there will be no new war against Iran and the region with field sovereignty and the joint battle of the fighters, the people, and the resistance front will continue until the enemy's complete surrender.

According to a Bloomberg report, the Islamic Republic of Iran has effectively set up a “toll booth” in the Strait of Hormuz, according to which ships belonging to friendly and allied countries can pass through the strategic waterway of the Strait of Hormuz by paying a fee and completing certain formalities.

According to the report, ships are required to provide complete ownership information and details of their cargo to an entity affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps before passing.

After registering the information, these ships are subject to security checks and then the negotiation phase begins to determine the passage fees.

The fee received for tankers usually starts at around one dollar per barrel of oil.

The Bloomberg report indicates that these payments are made in non-cash form and mainly using Chinese yuan or digital currencies (especially stablecoins).

Once payment is confirmed, a permit code is issued to the vessel and a naval escort is provided by the Iranian military for its safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

In some cases, vessels are asked to temporarily re-flag countries such as Pakistan in order to qualify for a permit.

Sheikh Akram Al-Kaabi: While you are dropping your heavy bombs on Muslim women and children, the Resistance’s arsenal has challenged your hegemony in the Strait of Hormuz and destroyed your safe margin by using simple weapons.

Even though Iran has been under siege for decades, you have not been able to bring the Islamic Republic to its knees according to the timetable you had set for your war operations. You have not been able to achieve any of the goals you had announced at the beginning of your evil war.

What would you have done if the Axis of Resistance had used its other regional cards?

Former RAF pilot's surprise at Iran's superior missile power and his astonishment at the destruction of the US AWACS aircraft!

Mike Key, former RAF pilot and military affairs expert:

A large part of the intelligence and support units that were also vital to the US were destroyed; this is a great damage to the United States.

Trump could not eliminate Iran's missile power; Iran's armed forces have asymmetric capabilities that could give them the upper hand.

The invading US-Israeli coalition continues its strikes against Iran's academic and civilian infrastructure as the latest attack has severely damaged a research center at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran.

Shahid Beheshti University announced in a statement that it was targeted on Friday, slamming the attack as a continuation of hostility against science and research. 

The building of one of the educational and research centers of this university in the Velenjak area was targeted by a direct attack of the criminal US-Israeli enemy, and a significant part of this center was destroyed, the statement read. 

Iranian armed forces targeted and destroyed strategic US radar systems and naval equipment across the region and occupied territories in the 92nd wave of Operation True Promise 4 in retaliation of US-Israeli aggression on Iran.

The Public Relations of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that its Navy and Aerospace Force, starting Friday morning in the 92nd wave of Operation True Promise 4, crushed the radar systems and naval equipment of American terrorists in the region and the occupied Palestinian territories with ballistic missiles and suicide drones in several combined attacks, the statement read.

Detailing the tactical successes, in the first part of this naval operation, the gathering place of American amphibious landing craft utility (LCU) vessels at the port of "Shuwaikh" was crushed using ballistic missiles, the statement noted.

Furthermore, the "AR-327" long-range three-dimensional early warning air radar deployed at the "Jabal Al Dukhan" radar site in Bahrain was struck and destroyed in another stage by a drone attack, based on the statement.

IRGC Aerospace at dawn on Friday, and in continuation of last night's attacks, successfully fired two ballistic missiles, crushing the Ramat David airbase, host to Israeli F-16 fighter squadrons in southeast Haifa, the statement detailed.

In another part of the IRGC Aerospace offensive and missile operation, and in line with the fire-for-fire tactic and continuous firing, more than 50 points in the heart of Tel Aviv and the occupied territories were effectively targeted by firing Khorramshahr 4 multi-warhead missiles, the statement declared.

Iran’s retaliatory strikes have inflicted heavy losses on Washington and Tel Aviv and demonstrated the futility of their military posturing, the IRGC said, adding that targeted and comprehensive attacks in this wave are continuing, the statement added.

These retaliatory operations follow the criminal aggression launched by the United States and Israel against Iran on February 28 by assassinating the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Seyyed Ali Khamenei along with senior military commanders. In the wake of these assassinations, the enemies have deliberately targeted Iran’s civilian infrastructure and energy facilities, killing hundreds of Iranian people.

Ever since the initial aggression, the people of Iran have taken to the streets to express their unwavering support for the country’s Armed forces, who have consistently targeted Israeli military and strategic sites as well as US military bases across the region with missiles and drones.

This is an information report about an unknown secret called the Emirates, written by the late journalist Jamal Rayyan in 2021.

No one knows how a country like the “Emirates”, whose area does not exceed 75 thousand square kilometers and whose original population has not yet exceeded 800 thousand people, has experienced such rapid progress!!

The “Emirates” has no political history, no liberation movements, no cultural or intellectual institutions, did Sheikh Zayed breathe Surah “Yasin” into it to overnight become a country booming in construction and one of the growing economies of West Asia?!!

The truth is that the Jews are behind the creation of the “Emirates Project”, where the “wealthy Jews” in the West came up with the idea of ​​​​creating a Jewish colony in the Middle East that would manage financial and commercial interests without having to interact with the mother “government” for political reasons and so on.

Since 1971, the year of its establishment, the West divided the UAE into six, then seven emirates, and for each emirate an emir, army, police and security, etc. were assigned, while the emirate of Abu Dhabi occupies more than three-quarters of the area, making it difficult for them to form the nucleus of a government.

Even if we accept the official population of the UAE as 750,000, what is this worth compared to the number of foreigners living in the UAE, which number 9 million from 200 nationalities and 150 ethnicities?!!

Even if the entire population is transformed into the intelligence, security and army, they cannot protect their country!!

The amazing thing about the UAE government is that when you enter, it is as if you have entered a European country or one of the advanced Asian countries, with strict order, professional approach, high discipline in the system, the beauty of the streets and cleanliness, but it is difficult to find a "real" citizen; because all interactions from the airport to the place of residence are in the hands of "foreigners".

Arabs from different countries are present and the number of flights from the airports is so high that it competes with the largest airports in the world in capacity and services, and the number of ships and vessels in the ports is so high that it will amaze you!!!

Is it possible that this "Emirati" simple in his thinking and scope of desires can operate this complex machine?!!

The Emirates in general and Abu Dhabi in particular have the highest percentage of the world's rich, whose number is estimated at 75 thousand millionaires, and wealthy Jews have the largest share among them.

This means providing a safe environment for this huge financial reserve.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the one who guided Mohammed bin Zayed towards "Israel" was the Jewish millionaire "Hayim Saban".

The Emirates is not just tall buildings and beautiful streets and trade, and now factories and workshops,

but a colony for conspiring against the Ummah.

Important question:

Why is the UAE the fifth largest military spending country?

Where is its army?

And which borders does it defend?

Answer:

All these weapons, whether announced or not, are for conspiring against the countries of the region, because there is no Arab or Islamic country in the region whose economic, political or security project the UAE does not interfere in and does not create chaos in.

Question:

Does the Al Zayed family have all the wisdom to manage all these complicated cases?

Is it in the interest of the sheikhs of the Emirates to have such extensive interference in the affairs of countries that are thousands of kilometers away from them?

Question:

Why don't the owners of the capital of the "Emirati government" govern directly, instead of these Arabs and their titles?

This question is answered by the book "The World Jew" written by Henry Ford, owner of the Ford Company in 1921, which says:

"The Jews prefer to lead the world from behind the scenes."

Another question:

Why didn't they choose "Israel" instead of "the Emirates" to move capital, especially since Palestine has abundant land, beautiful nature, an important geographical location, and access to the sea?

Answer:

"Israel" is not suitable for investment because it is "military cover", threatened at any moment, and undesirable for business in the region, meaning it is "unstable" and Jews work there!!

In short:

"The Emirates" has been an Israeli colony since 1971...

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in his latest comments about the war imposed by the US and the Zionist regime against Iran that "the main person responsible for this illegal war is the Israeli state."

The leader of Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party, speaking to his fellow party lawmakers, said about the imposed war against Iran: "The main person responsible for this illegal war, which has not only turned our region into a devastated place, but has also imposed a heavy economic burden on all of humanity, is the Israeli state, which is addicted to conflict, chaos and crisis."

Addressing the Israeli Prime Minister, Erdogan added: "We must not forget that every drop of blood shed in this war will serve as a lifeline for Netanyahu's political survival.
