Ouch – it will get much worse!  Oilprice.com

Strait of Hormuz transit remains near a standstill for a sixth day, with Iran-linked tankers the only large vessels making the crossing in the past 24 hours.
During the observed window, one Iran-linked supertanker departed the Persian Gulf, according to vessel-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. In the opposite direction, one liquefied petroleum gas carrier entered. Both ships are sanctioned by the US.

‘Gulf Arab countries let US bases onto their territory, naively, they expected protection from them, LIKE HELL!’ — Medvedev

US ‘only protects ONE country, think about whether you need US bases, they’re not protection, they’re a threat’

The news is made up of China’s ‘two sessions’, the US again stealing Venezuela’s gold and the WAR. All that there is, is war. Que Bob Marley, “War”.

The three ‘must-read’ analyses and essays today.

1) Michael Hudson : Grounding the narrative for US foreign policy – https://sovereignista.com/2026/03/06/1-michael-hudson-grounding-the-narrative-for-us-foreign-policy/

2) Brian Berletic : On today’s theme – correcting the narrative – https://sovereignista.com/2026/03/06/2-brian-berletic-on-todays-theme-correcting-the-narrative/

3) The Gulf States recognize what Michael Hudson calls “THE GREAT ENABLING FICTION IS GONE” . https://sovereignista.com/2026/03/06/3-the-gulf-states-recognize-what-michael-hudson-calls-the-great-enabling-fiction-is-gone/

The Gulfies are losing their USRael religion and this is major and critical.

I would suggest that for a SMO update today, you go and read Andrei Maryanov, who did a thorough update.  Friday is usually our day for update, but it is very busy.

Some US input would be welcome.  I have no idea whether this is worth the tweet that it is written on.

The US Senate rejected a resolution demanding that the US administration be prohibited from using military force against Iran without congressional permission, according to the voting broadcast by C-SPAN.

During the procedural vote, 47 senators voted in favor of the document, while 52 voted against it. To be approved by the upper house of Congress, which is controlled by the Republican Party, the document needed a simple majority of lawmakers to support it during the procedural and final votes. A vote on a similar resolution is expected Thursday in the House of Representatives, which is also controlled by the party of President Donald Trump.

China sketched it! Global Times cartoonized neatly what is happening.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

When complex nuclear negotiations are treated like a real estate transaction, and when big lies cloud realities, unrealistic expectations can never be met.

The outcome? Bombing the negotiation table out of spite.

Mr Trump betrayed diplomacy and Americans who elected him.

Ansar Allah is grinning:

You’ve heard of the SMO?  Well, get ready for the Trump LSMO.  Copying Russia to a T.

There’s no war!

▪️The US decided to start not a war, but a “large-scale military operation” (LSMO), according to a press release from the White House.
▪️It’s obvious to the naked eye that Trump is once again copying Putin.
▪️The White House also named the goals of the operation:
— Demilitarization of Iran;
— Protection of the US from threats from Iran, including in the future;
— Elimination of the terrorist regime of the ayatollahs;
— Guarantees that Iran will not have nuclear weapons.

This is all paper thin because Russia, sometimes to our frustration, did all the legal homework.  Trump of course has not done any of it.  Calling a thing so, does not make it so.  (And stealing the Russian text shows the level of desperation but more than that, the level of idiocy).

— Demilitarization of Iran;  (Iran did not threaten the US with a military attack.  In Russia’s case, the Ukraine had been fighting against Russians for years .)
— Protection of the US from threats from Iran, including in the future;  (There is no threat, so Trump is trying to get out of the fact that he is making war without approval as the US consitution call for.  This is so lame — Protect me from Iran calling me names!)
— Elimination of the terrorist regime of the ayatollahs;  (Where is the terrorism?  Who did Iran do terrorism against?  What did those Ayatollahs actually do?)
— Guarantees that Iran will not have nuclear weapons.  (The US already have that guarantee and moreover, it has proven out to be so over years).

These are children with nuclear codes.  This level of idiocy should scare everyone.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

A few comments by Mr Lavrov:

Russian FM Lavrov expresses concern over the situation in Palestine:

‘UN resolutions are ignored and neglected. All the resolutions on the establishment of the Palestinian state are forgotten’

No one knows Washington’s ultimate goal — Lavrov

‘They have proudly stated that they have ‘exterminated’ Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei’

‘And then the Secretary of War stated that it wasn’t their goal… the goals are still unknown’

‘I believe that any concerns expressed by Israeli partners and the US should be addressed by political and diplomatic means’ — FM Lavrov

‘There is a need to start an in-depth dialogue about the US vision of the world, about their vision of their own role in this world, and what role they assign to the rest of the world, especially to nuclear powers’ — FM Lavrov

NO proof was found that Iran is building a nuclear bomb — FM Lavrov

‘Denying Iran its lawful right to enrich uranium for peaceful use risks the opposite outcome. This war may spark nuclear ambitions across neighboring states’

Macron orders ‘an INCREASE in the number of NUCLEAR WARHEADS’.  ‘We will no longer be disclosing our nuclear arsenal figures’

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Neo-Caligula made his horse a senator.  We’ve seen it all now.

Believe it or not, Melania Trump chairs the UN Security Council meeting on protecting children in war — all while burials and funeral marches ongoing as we speak for the USRael bombing and murder of 168 elementary school girls in Iran.   As usual, they bombed an elementary school to display peace and strength.  All while Gaza is again under locked gates, and food is not entering.  She says the US supports all children in the world.  There is an anti-war endeavor in the US and the placards say: “Send Barron!”

Dmitry Medvedev Answers Journalists’ Questions

▪️ Has World War III already begun, or has the world not yet entered it and is merely teetering on the edge?

“Formally, no. But if Trump continues his insane course of criminally changing political regimes, it will undoubtedly begin. And the trigger could be any event. Any.”

▪️ Can these events be called a global war of civilizations?

“This is a war by the US and its allies to preserve global dominance. Pigs don’t want to give up their trough.”

▪️ How vulnerable are Americans and Israelis now on their own territory, given the Iranian Ayatollah’s declaration of holy war against America and Israel after the killing of Khamenei?

“I believe their vulnerability has increased significantly. The fact that the Iranians haven’t responded too seriously yet means they don’t have many options. But they know how to wait; they are an ancient civilization.

Trump made a grave mistake. With his decision, he put all Americans under potential threat—even despite the fact that the Iranian regime is disliked in neighboring Arab countries. The main thing is different: the late Ayatollah was the spiritual father of nearly 300 million Shiites. And now he is also a martyr. Draw your own conclusions from there.

And now there is no doubt that Iran will pursue the development of nuclear weapons with triple the energy.”

▪️ Ten years after the Minsk agreements, Merkel admitted that they deliberately drew Russia into them to give Ukraine time to arm itself. Do you get the feeling that Moscow is now being pushed into negotiations for exactly the same purpose?

“Such a danger exists. But negotiations are not the main thing. The main thing is victory in the NWO with the achievement of all the goals set by our Supreme Commander-in-Chief. And such a victory can be achieved without any negotiations at all.”

▪️ What guarantee is there that someday someone in Western capitals won’t decide to solve the problem with rebellious Moscow in exactly the same way?

“There are no magical remedies against the actions of rabid idiots and clinical bastards—nor can there ever be.

There is only one guarantee: the US is afraid of Russia and understands the cost of a nuclear conflict. In the event of one, Hiroshima and Nagasaki would look like child’s play in a sandbox.”

▪️ Do you think Iran has the strength to withstand this confrontation? Can the Iranians cope with the deaths of so many of their country’s leaders? How do you assess Tehran’s initial responses—can hesitation be sensed in them?

“As I already said, Iran, as the heir to the former Persian Empire, is an ancient civilization and culture. They will cope, but the price of revival will be high. It requires a high degree of societal consolidation. And the Americans have provided them with precisely that consolidation.”

▪️ How do you assess the reaction of European countries to the actions of the US and Israel?

“Toadyism and vileness. European vassals, with lust and delight, wipe their faces after receiving a dose of American-Israeli ‘yellow rain’ directly in their eyes.”

▪️ The US and Israel violated the Olympic truce. Four years ago, the IOC recommended suspending Russian athletes from international competitions, including the 2022 Paralympics—and they were expelled from Beijing. Do you think there is a chance the IOC will now take similar measures against American and Israeli athletes?

“I couldn’t care less about that, frankly. The IOC and the Olympic movement need to be disbanded and rebuilt from scratch, remembering the precepts of Pierre de Coubertin.”

Dmitry Peskov

Russia reaffirms diplomatic path as situation around Iran deteriorates – Kremlin

Russia continues to maintain contact with the leadership of countries affected by the Iran conflict, including the Gulf states, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Other statements:

🔶Russia continues communication with countries affected by the Iran conflict, including Gulf states

🔶Kremlin expressed disappointment that, despite reports of progress in US–Iran talks, the situation deteriorated into direct aggression

🔶President Vladimir Putin will hold an international phone call on Monday related to the developments around Iran

🔶Russia maintains its commitment to a political and diplomatic settlement even after the US strike on Iran

🔶There are currently no contacts with BRICS countries regarding Iran; BRICS membership does not entail mutual defense obligations in the event of aggression

🔶Following the US and Israeli strikes on Iran, Moscow is analyzing the situation and drawing conclusions regarding the negotiation process, while continuing work in Russia’s national interest.  (Pekov’s ‘drawing conclusions’ is directly aimed at Russian negotiations with the US – they are drawing conclusions for their own negotiation process.)

On Ukraine:

🔶Security guarantees are on the agenda of Ukraine negotiations, alongside the central territorial issue

🔶Kremlin will not publicly discuss the content of the Ukraine settlement talks

🔶Russia remains open to pursuing its interests through peaceful means

🔶Moscow values US mediation efforts in the Ukraine negotiations and remains open to dialogue with Washington

🔶Russia has its own national interests that it intends to secure

🔶Moscow relies primarily on itself, defending its own interests and will continue to be guided by that principle
