不仅仅是数百万美国人走上街头谴责特朗普。世界各地的抗议者也纷纷走上街头,举行“反对国王”集会。在意大利、法国、西班牙、德国、荷兰和澳大利亚,人群举着标语游行,谴责特朗普及其对伊朗的战争。
It’s not just millions of Americans turning out in droves to call out Trump. Protesters worldwide have taken to the streets for “No Kings” rallies. In Italy, France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, and Australia, crowds marched with signs condemning Trump and his war with Iran.

今天是自特朗普二次执政以来的第三次“不要国王”大游行。 第一次是去年6月14号,2000多个地点,约500万人参加;第二次是去年10月18号,2700个地点,约600万人参加;第三次是今天,登记地点超过3000个,人数还在估算当中。 反对特朗普不是因为被谁收买,而是痛恨他家族腐败、撕裂美国、乱打王八拳!

BREAKING: The Strait of Hormuz is no longer closed. It is no longer open. It is something the world has never seen before: a permissioned corridor run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, priced at $2 million per vessel, payable in yuan. Three ships transited in the last 24 hours. Three. Out of a pre-war average of 60 per day. Total throughput: 310,000 deadweight tonnes. Three percent of normal. Four hundred vessels are waiting outside the strait right now. One hundred and fifty tankers. One hundred and twenty bulk carriers. One hundred and thirty others. Waiting for permission from the IRGC Navy to enter a 5-nautical-mile channel between Larak and Qeshm islands inside Iranian territorial waters. This is how the gate works. A vessel operator contacts approved intermediaries with IRGC connections, submitting full documentation: IMO number, ownership chain, cargo manifest, destination, crew list. The intermediaries forward the package to the IRGC Navy’s Hormozgan Provincial Command for sanctions screening, cargo alignment checks that prioritise oil over all other commodities, and geopolitical vetting. The toll is approximately $2 million per tanker. For a VLCC carrying 2 million barrels, that is $1 per barrel. Preferred currency: yuan. If the vessel passes, the IRGC issues a clearance code and route instructions. Upon approach, VHF radio hail, AIS verification, patrol boat escort. One ship at a time. Through the narrowest channel of the most important waterway on Earth. Iranian crude is still flowing. Approximately 1.1 to 1.5 million barrels per day, mostly to China, at near pre-war levels. Iran’s own oil transits the strait it controls. The blockade applies to everyone else. Iran is simultaneously the gatekeeper and the primary beneficiary. The toll funds the IRGC. The IRGC maintains the gate. The gate generates the toll. The circle is self-sustaining. Now look at what is NOT transiting. Fertiliser. Gulf nations supply 49 percent of the world’s exported urea. Ammonia requires the natural gas that Qatar declared Force Majeure on and that Iranian strikes disrupted at South Pars. Effectively zero fertiliser vessels have received approval through the permissioned corridor. The IRGC is prioritising oil because oil generates revenue. Fertiliser does not. The molecules that feed four billion people are trapped behind a gate that only opens for molecules that fund the gatekeeper. The yuan preference is the structural shift that outlasts the war. Every tanker that pays in yuan instead of dollars establishes a precedent. Every precedent weakens the petrodollar architecture that has governed energy trade since 1974. The IRGC is not just blocking a strait. It is building an alternative payment rail under live fire. The $2 million toll in yuan is not a fee. It is a proof of concept for a post-dollar energy settlement system, stress-tested in the most extreme conditions imaginable: a three-front war with the world’s largest military. The world’s central banks are trapped by the same strait: the Fed cannot cut, the ECB is hiking, the BOJ is tightening. Six countries are rationing fuel. Japan’s 10-year yield hit a 27-year high. Slovenia has QR codes at the pump. South Korea is barring government vehicles one day per week. And behind all of it, 400 ships wait outside a 5-nautical-mile channel for a clearance code from the IRGC Navy, payable in a currency that is not the dollar. Twenty percent of the world’s oil supply. Controlled by a VHF radio call and a yuan transfer. The strait did not close. It changed ownership. open.substack.com/pub/shanak…

🇨🇳🇮🇷 Why China Cant Escape The Energy Shock From The Iran War China runs on oil, and half of it comes from the Middle East. Now that supply is being squeezed. China uses 26% of global energy. But here’s the catch most miss: China isn’t fully cut off. Iran is selectively letting ships pass, especially China-linked ones. And there’s more: Iran has signaled ships may pass if oil is paid in yuan. That gives China an edge others don’t have. Still, flows are way below normal. So the pressure is real.

🚨🇮🇱🇺🇸 An Israeli official said yesterday that a deal to end the Iran war does not appear tangible right now, the Iranians are not in concession mode, and the negotiations may be an Iranian tactic to buy time for more strikes. Trump said the same day: "They want to settle and we're going to get it done." Israel's Defense Minister this morning: "We continue striking Iran with full force." Draw your own conclusions as to why this misalignment exists. Source: CNN

🇨🇳 China is carrying out a large undersea mapping mission across the Pacific, Indian and Arctic oceans. Experts say the detailed ocean data collected could be used to support submarine warfare against the U.S. and its allies. While the world watches Iran, China is doing its homework.

Trump’s cronies are cashing in. This is straight-up banana republic stuff.
5 minutes before Trump’s announcement: * $1.5B notional worth of S&P500 (ES) futures are bought in a single clip. * $192M notional of oil futures (CL) sold. More than 4x-6x any other trade size during the market close. Insiders profited from his lies in broad daylight!

Stephen Miller praised Trump for several minutes. Then Trump turned to Kash Patel and said, “Kash, see if you can top that.” Patel: “Mr. President, thank you for delivering the safest country on God’s green Earth.” Straight up North Korea vibes

China is playing three roles simultaneously in the Iran war and none of them are compatible with the others. Role one: mediator. China’s Special Envoy for the Middle East, Zhai Jun, has been touring the Gulf since the second week of the conflict. He has met counterparts in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Tehran. Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called every relevant foreign minister in the region. Beijing has called for an immediate ceasefire and condemned US strikes as violations of international law and the UN Charter. China voted for UN Security Council Resolution 2817 condemning Iranian attacks on Gulf states but abstained on the US-sponsored resolution authorising force, preserving its position as the only major power with open channels to both sides. Role two: strategic opportunist. China maintains approximately 1.2 billion barrels in strategic petroleum reserves, the largest in Asia and possibly the world. Bloomberg reported that drawdowns of up to one million barrels per day are expected over four to six weeks. China is not releasing these barrels to stabilise global markets. It is releasing them to sustain domestic consumption while global prices remain elevated, preserving its industrial output at the expense of depleting buffers it spent a decade building. The releases are self-directed. They serve Chinese factories, not global stability. Role three: financial infrastructure provider. The A7A5 ruble-backed stablecoin that facilitates sanctions evasion between Russia and Iran processed over $100 billion in transactions since its January 2025 launch. While not a Chinese creation, the corridor operates through exchanges and wallets that serve Chinese buyers of Iranian crude. Iran keeps oil flowing to China even as Hormuz closes to everyone else, routing through the Caspian and overland pipelines that bypass the strait entirely. Iran International reported that Iranian crude exports to China have continued throughout the war via alternative channels. The three roles create structural contradictions. A mediator cannot credibly negotiate a ceasefire while its strategic reserve drawdowns assume the war continues. A peacemaker cannot broker trust between Gulf states and Iran while its buyers receive the Iranian crude that the Gulf states’ own tankers cannot move. A responsible stakeholder cannot call for international law compliance while abstaining from votes that would enforce it. The PBOC extended its gold buying streak to 16 consecutive months in February, adding 30,000 troy ounces to reserves that now total 74.22 million fine troy ounces. The gold purchases predate the war but accelerated in its shadow. Central banks that buy gold during energy crises are not preparing for peace. They are preparing for a monetary environment where the dollar-denominated energy trade faces structural disruption. China’s Middle East envoy delivers statements about peace. China’s strategic reserve managers drain stockpiles for war. China’s financial infrastructure enables the sanctions evasion that funds one side. And China’s central bank buys gold as if the entire dollar system might need a replacement. The mediator, the opportunist, and the gold buyer sit in the same government. They attend the same Politburo Standing Committee meetings. They serve the same strategic objective: ensure China emerges from the Iran war with its energy supply intact, its industrial base running, its diplomatic reputation enhanced, and its monetary reserves positioned for whatever comes after. open.substack.com/pub/shanak…

Gas is now $3.92 a gallon. It was $3.13 when Biden left office. Gas prices shot up under Biden because COVID subsided and Russia invaded Ukraine. Gas prices are shooting up under Trump because Trump started a war in the Middle East. Biden didn’t cause it. Trump absolutely did. And @grok please fact check this.

🇺🇸🇹🇼Tucker said the U.S. is not going to defend Taiwan and physically cannot do it even if it tried. He told the Economist’s Zanny Minton Beddoes that America has hit the limits of its power and now has to share the Pacific.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 The war showed the U.S. can shift major forces to the Middle East without China moving on Taiwan. Xi Jinping reportedly got the bad news that years of huge military spending still haven’t delivered the knockout capability Beijing wanted.
