It seems that despite the legal shenanigans in a US-court the Grace-1 tanker has been released.
The Supreme Court in the British territory of Gibraltar has approved the release of an Iranian oil tanker that was seized last month by the United Kingdom, despite last-minute efforts by the United States to halt its release.
Clown Prince MBS
It seems that the clown prince has also been outsmarted by the Houthis and their Iranian allies. He may be called Mohammad bin Salman (son of Solomon) he is not. Solomon was wise enough to propose cutting a baby in half to ascertain the true mother. The clown prince ain’t no Solomon even though he wants to cut people up with a bone saw.
This is what Tom Luongo has to say;
The Houthis attacked the Shaybah oilfield and refinery
complex which produces more than 1 million barrels of
oil per day. This is a direct attack on the Saudis’ ability
to function as a somewhat sustainable economic and political power.
Apparently, the Houthis now make their own drones with help from Iran (who learnt a lot from the US drones that they shot down). These drones are not sophisticated and probably per-programmed but they fly 1,000 km and hit the target (oil infrastructure). Saudi is already struggling with a deficit and this will make things worse. Looks like they will be forced to talk peace (and postpone fantasy land neom) – serves them right for picking on their neighbor.
The Saudis have already lost so much in their botched attempt to overthrow
Bashar al-Assad in Syria, the blockade of Qatar and to force a political
realignment in Lebanon. None of Mohammed bin Salman’s strong arm tactics
have succeeded in doing anything other than alienate more members of the Gulf
Cooperation Council and put his benefactors in Washington in very hot water,
politically.

Nuclear Weapons
In the meantime, apparently those nuclear weapons that Israel doesn’t have (LOL) are leaking.
