Feb 28 (Reuters) - An official from the European Union's naval mission Aspides said on Saturday that vessels have been receiving VHF transmission from Iran's Revolutionary Guards saying "no ship is allowed to pass the Strait of Hormuz".

I took screenshot of Hormuz Strait from Marine Traffic few minutes ago

It seems that traffic is much as usual.

Is that like when Trump said that Iran's nuclear capability had been "totally obliterated"?

I hope this does not impact Trump in winning the Nobel Peace Prize?

"In the space of eight minutes, Trump proceeded to upend half a century of US foreign policy, renege on his campaign promise to avoid the risk of forever wars and leave the Fifa boss, Gianni Infantino, with some explaining to do about why he gave Trump a made-up peace prize."

Futures on Brent crude (BZ=F), the international pricing benchmark, had jumped by roughly 2.9% to close above $72.80 on Friday, while those on US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude (CL=F) had moved up by a slightly smaller 2.8% to trade above $67 by Friday's close.

Without signs of deescalation over the weekend, prices could surge upward by as much as $10 to $20 per barrel when the market reopens Sunday night, Jorge León, head of geopolitical analysis at Rystad Energy, told Yahoo Finance.

So - what happened to all the Russian and Chinese air defences
that Iran was supposed to have received in the last 6 months?
It was all rubbish that can't survive a real war. Roll Eyes

The IDF said that over 200 Israeli Air Force aircraft had struck 500 Iranian targets on Saturday night, in the largest aerial attack ever conducted by Israeli forces.
An IDF video showed two major initial waves of attacks.

The first wave struck what appeared to be dozens of radars and anti aircraft defenses,
especially in the part of Iran closer to Israel and the Tehran area.

During the second wave, the Air Force struck Iran's ballistic missile apparatus to attempt to reduce its ability to strike the Israeli home front.

There is no indication of the IDF saying anything that was true in the last 20 years.

That date may also be the fall of the Trump regime, while die-hard Trump supporters love to crow, "77 million people voted for this," they did not vote for more "forever wars."
