\n\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf7 Iraq\u2019s prime minister is reportedly briefed on a US attack within days and Britain\u2019s leader is on the phone to Trump… while Iran tells Reuters it has full access to the Gulf\u2019s internet cables<\/p>\n
Baghdad has reportedly been told it\u2019s coming, London is calling to raise concerns, and the people close to the decision say it\u2019s already made.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s left is whether anyone talks Trump out of it.<\/p>\n
Tehran\u2019s answer is to widen the target list.<\/p>\n
Two Iranian security officials told Reuters the cables running to military bases, including covert ones, would be hit in ways built to block repairs:<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be no more red lines.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reuters notes under 1% of international bandwidth runs through Hormuz, so the Gulf eats that pain first, and it\u2019s already eating the oil: Iran claims two supertankers were struck today and the UAE closed beaches over a slick, on the same day Washington insisted Gulf exports beat pre war levels.<\/p>\n
Israel is opening its own front, with Netanyahu closing Hebron after two soldiers were killed and ordering a full West Bank lockdown prepared, while Hezbollah shows signs of mobilizing and Ron Lauder tells Israelis \u201cyou\u2019re losing everything because of stupidity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Every leader in the chain is now on the phone with Trump, and the only question left is whether anyone gets through before the aircraft do.<\/p>\n
