ADNOC Reports 15 Vessel Attacks As Hormuz Shipping Traffic Collapses To 10% Of Pre-War Levels — One Crew Member Dead
15 ADNOC tankers struck by Iranian missiles and drones since the start of the Iran war. One seafarer killed, 20 injured. Vessel traffic through Hormuz has collapsed to just 10% of pre-war levels — 33 ships transited Mon–Thu vs. 50 the prior week.
Under normal conditions Hormuz carries 20% of global petroleum and 21 million barrels per day. This is a severe disruption to a critical global energy artery.

Report: Israel Preparing To Strike Iran Alone If Washington Backs Down
Israeli Channel 13 reports the IDF is maintaining active contingency plans to strike Iran independently, even as Trump pushes for a diplomatic exit and Strait of Hormuz ceasefire talks are underway. An independent Israeli strike would almost certainly drag the United States back into the conflict — against the stated policy of the commander in chief.

Trump Moves To Shut Down Birth Tourism Industry After SCOTUS Affirmed Squatter Citizenship
President Donald Trump signed two new executive orders to help rein in the birthplace citizenship crisis Thursday in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that read automatic U.S. citizenship for illegal aliens into the Constitution. It is unclear how large that class is, but the order addressing alien enemies eems to signal a move toward a much more effective way to designate that a child does not obtain American citizenship: declaring ineligible children being born to noncitizens deemed to be invaders.

Iran Security Chief: Hormuz Closed ‘Until America Corrects Its Behavior’ — Vance Says U.S. Still ‘Middle of the Game’
Iran’s top national security official warned Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States “corrects its behavior,” issuing a sweeping list of demands as Vice President JD Vance said Washington remains in the “middle of the game” and is continuing to apply diplomatic, economic, and military pressure on Tehran. Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and a former senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander, demanded that the United States end military action and threats against Iran and its regional allies, lift its naval blockade, withdraw U.S. naval and air forces from around Iran, compensate Tehran for war damages, lift sanctions, and unconditionally release frozen Iranian assets.
