“This can be read as a success for Tehran,” said Behnam Ben Taleblu, an Iran-focused research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in Washington, D.C.
The Houthi strikes, and Soleimani’s direct reference to the Bab el-Mandeb on Thursday, “is a signal that Tehran has options for escalation.”
Bab el-Mandeb sees about 5 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil, which is small compared to the 17 million that passes through the Strait of Hormuz, on the opposite side of the Arabian Peninsula. Hormuz sits on the peninsula’s eastern flank, and is the only sea passage from the Persian Gulf to the open ocean.
But the fear here, said RBC Capital Markets’ Helima Croft, head of global commodity strategy, is that increased Houthi rebel attacks on tankers heightens the chance that one will actually be sunk.
In that event, the U.S. “could be forced to become more actively engaged in ensuring maritime security, like during the tanker wars,” of the Iran-Iraq war, Croft said, referencing an incident in 1988 where the U.S. came into direct conflict with Iran after Iranian sea mines blew up part of an American missile frigate. The U.S., which supported Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war, subsequently destroyed roughly half of Iran’s naval facilities.
A crisis in the Bab el-Mandeb would trigger greater fears over incidents in Hormuz and send oil prices upward. And while it would be difficult for Iran to close the Straits for a prolonged period, “it could carry off one-off attacks on vessels,” she warned.
Lashing out ahead of oil sanctions deadline
The escalation comes as the U.S. prepares to reimpose sanctions on Iran as part of its withdrawal from the seven-nation JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), the deal that allowed economic relief for Iran in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program.
The Trump administration, through use of secondary sanctions, has mandated that all countries wind their imports of Iranian crude down to zero by November 4, in addition to deploying sanctions on a range of other products and financial activities.
“It is no accident that as U.S. sanctions are about to be levied and enforced, Iran is lashing out,” Ben Taleblu said.
The regime in Tehran has threatened that if it is unable to trade its oil, other countries will be stopped as well, citing its willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which some 30 percent of the world’s oil shipments pass.
While this is unlikely to succeed given the presence of the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, Iran can up its direct harassment of U.S. vessels in the Gulf with IRGC speedboats and drones, activity that had largely stopped since mid-2017, according to Pentagon officials.
And its expected increase in support for regional proxies — which is exactly the behavior the U.S. seeks to deter — will likely incur yet more sanctions.

Russian FM Lavrov and commander of the Russian armed forces Gerasimov made a surprise visit to both Berlin and Paris earlier this month:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvZTF5ygrw8
(discussion on Russian television)
Note that Gerasimov has a travel ban to Europe, not that he cared. There was no declaration afterwards, meaning that very serious business was discussed. In a two-line statement it was hinted that Syria and Ukraine were discussed. The Syria part is strange, since both Germany and France play no meaningful role in that US-instigated drama, that is almost finished anyway and would not justify this high-profile visit. And not much is happening in the Ukraine either, where the situation is in a stalemate. It is unlikely that Moscow is planning something dramatic in the Ukraine, where it basically has reached it aims and the Russian population there in a stable position.
No, my speculation is that the real purpose of the visit was the upcoming war of the US against Iran. If that war starts, all oil shipments from the Gulf will be halted, with the gravest implications for both Europe and China, who will both be largely dependent on limited Russian oil and the economy will come to a virtual stand-still.
In fact, it won’t last long until Eurasia will begin to interpret the US war against Iran as a closet war against Eurasian interests, which won’t do much good to the popularity of Americans in Eurasia, already not too stratospheric.
I think that Lavrov and Gerasimov made it clear to both Merkel and Macron that Russia only had limited means to supply oil to both Europe and China and that Russia would prefer to deliver scarce oil to those parties who were the least troublesome to Russians interests.
Can you say “lifting sanctions”?
Again, I do not think that DJT is stupid and that he can’t foresee these things. He could be intentionally pushing Europe into the arms of the Russians and set the entire planet up against America, for the sole purpose to not only break up the US empire, but also the US itself, an entirely rational act if you are a closet white nationalist, which I think he is.

In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Times, Matteo Salvini urges Theresa May to adopt a tougher stance in her Brexit negotiations with the EU, saying: “My experience in the European parliament tells me you either impose yourself or they swindle you.” The far-right interior minister, a former MEP and considered Italy’s most powerful politician, says May should be prepared to walk away without a deal: “Because on some principles there is no need to be flexible and you should not go backwards.” He also accuses the EU of trying to punish the UK for voting to leave the bloc: “There is no objectivity or good faith from the European side.” The leader of the anti- immigrant League party made an extraordinary intervention as May dispatched members of her cabinet across Europe to sell her Chequers deal. “I remember the referendum stage as an example of participation and freedom; I hope it can be an opportunity for the British.” He added that the Italian government would welcome one-to-one talks with May.”

“Urban Jungle At Night”: Amsterdam Police Powerless To Stop Late-Night Mayhem”
https://tinyurl.com/y9payk8a
“After turning a blind eye to rampant drug use and out-of-control tourists, Amsterdam’s Red Light District hs become an “urban jungle at night,” according to city ombudsman Arre Zuurmond. “The city center becomes an urban jungle at night,” Zuurmond told Dutch newspaper Trouw, adding “Criminal money flourishes, authority no longer exists and the police can no longer handle this situation.” Tasked with investigating mayhem in the Red Light District, Zuurmond set up three CCTV cameras in the middle of bustling Leidseplein square, located in the southwestern part of the city center, and was shocked at what was recorded. One night we counted 900 offences, mainly between the hours of 2:00am and 4:00am. The atmosphere is grim, and there is an air of lawlessness…Scooters race through the pedestrian areas. There is a lot of shouting. Drugs are being bought. There is stealing” “There is violence but no action. You can even piss on a mobile police van without the driver even saying anything,” Zuurmond added. The Red Light District is notoriously packed with revelers in the evenings who enjoy getting high and having sex – however as is many times the case, cities which offer such vices are often plagued with the crime that comes with it. Human trafficking, for example, has long been a major issue in the district. “
“In April, NLTimes reported that Albanians are playing a “leading role” in the Amsterdam underworld – engaged in cocaine trafficking, human trafficking and property crimes. According to the police, these Albanian criminals lead the cocaine import from South America, the transhipment via the port of Rotterdam, and the further distribution to other European countries from Amsterdam. In addition to the Netherlands, Albanians are also very active in the drug trade in Great Britain. The number of Albanian criminals active in Amsterdam’s underworld continues to increase, according to the police. There is much more firearm violence around cocaine trafficking than with other drugs. The police see a growing use of illegal firearms, including automatic firearms, which come from conflict areas in Ukraine, Syria, Mali, and Libya. There is also many weapons from Russia, where the army has written off 4 million Kalashnikov rifles. –NLTimes What’s more, most assassinations in Amsterdam are linked to the drug trade according to police.” These assassinations are usually carried out by young Amsterdam residents, and the victims are usually also young Amsterdam residents,” reports the Times. Lastly, Amsterdam has an issue with cybercrime – as one in eight residents report having to deal with hacking or ransomware – more people than fall victim to bicycle theft.”

There is nobody on this forum with the username Greggor, Davy, and Zerohedge has been identified by CEPA STRATCOM to be a source of Russian clickbait disinformation.
HOW LIES TRAVEL FROM RUSSIA TO ESTONIA, VIA THE UNITED STATES
“A 26 November 2016 report by the propaganda-exposing website PropOrNot claims ZeroHedge.com is part of Russia’s propaganda network. More recently, ZeroHedge’s opinions tend to align nearly perfectly with themes and tropes used by Russia’s official propaganda outlets. In fact, the flow of disinformation between ZeroHedge.com and sites identified as disinformation by EU’s East StratCom Task Force team is noticeable.”
“In 2014, University of Houston finance professor Craig Pirrong investigated how ZeroHedge.com echoed a deeply misleading story on an obscure Russian-language website, Iskra News. Pirrong concluded that ZeroHedge.com is a key link in the network that transmits stories from Russia to Western news consumers. A story appears in an obscure publication, typically outside the United States or Europe; it is then picked up by another, more widely read site in Europe or the West (ZeroHedge.com is the 407th most popular site in the United States). These days, getting published on a site like ZeroHedge.com, which is then linked by numerous other sources and tweeted widely, can ensure that the false information goes viral.”
“As part of the Russian propaganda ecosystem, Intentional or not, ZeroHedge.com is an example of how narrative laundering works. It is a symbiotic cooperation between Russian and Western outlets in which the Western partner gets traffic and clicks—which generate revenue—while Russia gets a channel to spread its narratives in the U.S. and a “safe” Western channel to spread its worldview. RT, Sputnik and Russia Insider have also used ZeroHedge.com in this manner. In the case of Objektiiv.ee using information provided by ZeroHedge, Kremlin propaganda narratives and false news reached not only the United States, but also Estonian nationalist news channels. Outlets that would probably never trust explicitly pro-Kremlin media channels consider U.S. news sites to be safe to use.”
