IRAN HAS decided to play red light, green light with the Strait
of Hormuz. Less than 24 hours after President Trump announced the
opening of the critical waterway, Iran declared it closed again.
Further, two Indian flagged tankers reportedly came under fire
from Iranian speedboats. This suggests that negotiations between
the US and Iran over a peaceful resolution to Operation Epic Fury
are simply a stalling tactic by the Iranian regime, perhaps
counting on Democrats winning the midterm elections or even the
2028 presidential election. Given the way Presidents Biden and
Obama willingly sent billions of dollars to Tehran, you can
hardly blame them.
We discuss the bind into which Iran has placed China, which gets
up to 20% of its oil imports from the Islamic regime – at a deep
discount because Iran has few buyers for its oil due to
sanctions. This is exacerbated by China’s loss of access to
Venezuelan oil. As a result, China has had to suddenly ramp up
its purchases of American oil to roughly $10 billion worth per
month.
In addition, the United States just signed a defense agreement
with Indonesia. That nation sits on the west side of the cap,
Strait of Malacca, a waterway even more critical to China’s oil
imports than the Strait of Hormuz. And to make things more
interesting, American oil sails through the Panama Canal, which
is now once again under American control, thanks to President
Trump.
In short, the United States now controls China’s access to about
25% of its oil imports, and has military control over waterways
through which about 80% of Chinese oil imports flow, for which
the Chinese must now pay full price. This may be President
Trump’s way of responding to China’s threats to control American
access to critical rare earth minerals.
We also discuss the corrupting influence of social media on
sharing the gospel. Children now graduate high school so reliant
on artificial intelligence that they literally don’t see the need
to read anything longer than a menu. So, reading the Bible is a
concept that is completely foreign to them.
