Next US move on Iran: Seize Kharg Island, secure uranium or risk ground war escalation
As the U.S.–Iran war enters a new phase, the range of options now being discussed stretches from hitting Iran’s economic and oil lifeline at Kharg Island to the far more dangerous prospect of a ground invasion, or a narrower operation focused on Iran’s nuclear material. Kharg Island is the centerpiece of Iran’s oil export system. The island handles about 90% of Iran’s oil exports, and Iran recently has been exporting roughly 1.1 million to 1.5 million barrels of oil per day, mostly to China.

UN & human rights groups are silent as Iranian regime blasts Israeli civilians with cluster munitions 
In recent days, the Iranian regime has markedly stepped up the use of ballistic missiles with cluster munition warheads against Israeli population centers, which is widely banned for being inherently indiscriminate. However, rather than an international outcry, there has been a deafening silence among UN organizations and NGOs, who are usually quick to identify ostensible “war crimes” by Israel, despite attempts by the IDF and Israel’s Foreign Ministry to draw attention to the attacks on Israeli civilians.

“We’re doing very well, I will say. We’re knocking them for a loop. They can’t have a nuclear weapon, and they now understand that very strongly,” Trump said at an event with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin. Axios reported on Sunday that Trump is weighing the possibility of seizing Iran’s critical oil depot on Kharg Island if oil tankers remain trapped in the Persian Gulf.

Reports of large US invasion to get Iran 60% nuke uranium likely overblown
Despite numerous reports in recent days about a potential imminent and multi-sided US invasion of parts of Iran, including plans to retrieve 60% enriched uranium, The Jerusalem Post understands that these reports are exaggerated. It is still possible that the US could use ground forces in some fashion. But the images of a large-scale invasion and specifically the idea of an extended mission in Isfahan to retrieve the 60% enriched uranium, which is part of Iran’s nuclear program, do not appear to be in the cards,

“We’re At War”: Ecuador Deploys 75,000 Troops, Launches Anti-Cartel Missile Strikes; Colombia Warns “We’re Being Bombed” 
On Sunday, Ecuador launched a massive anti-cartel offensive involving 75,000 troops, armored vehicles, and helicopters, with support from the U.S., in what Interior Minister John Reimberg described as a “very strong offensive,” according to BBC News. “We’re at war,” Reimberg said. “Don’t take any risks, don’t go out, stay home.” The cartel crackdown is part of a new 17-country alliance against cartels, unveiled by President Trump earlier this month. While authorities have not said whether U.S. troops will directly participate in the operation, the two countries have already carried out joint strikes earlier this month, and the FBI is opening a field office in Ecuador to help target organized crime, money laundering, and corruption.

New lawsuit says Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey ‘completely failed’ to adequately staff police department
“There has not been a single day for that entire time in which the Mayor has even come close to employing the minimum number of sworn officers commanded by the City Charter, confirmed by this Court, and affirmed by the Minnesota Supreme Court,” the lawsuit says. The case stems from an earlier lawsuit filed by UMLC, which ultimately led to the Minnesota Supreme Court ruling in 2022 that the mayor has a clear legal duty to employ at least 731 sworn police officers under the Minneapolis City Charter. “This case is about enforcing the law as written and as already interpreted by the Minnesota Supreme Court,”

A US official told CNN that the munitions were the GBU-72 Advanced 5K Penetrator, an explosive first released by US aircraft in 2021.

The Real Leader of Iran Has Just Been Killed, and That Has Enormous Implications
When Khamenei was alive, Ali Larijani essentially ran the country, and he still essentially runs the country. The slaughter of protesters had his fingerprints all over it. A lot of people are thrilled that he’s gone, but whose going to run Iran now? Larijani was a murderer and radical, but was somewhat rational. Will he be replaced by someone who is a complete lunatic?

“Fertilizer Shock”: Closure of Strait of Hormuz Could Cause Widespread Global Food Shortages
If commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains paralyzed for months, we’ll witness a global food crisis. There has been much written about how closure of the Strait of Hormuz has caused the price of oil to rise, price of natural gas to soar, and average price of diesel in the US to jump above five dollars a gallon. But I think the bigger story is global food supplies.
