Feeding the press B

That is as simple as I see it. AP News gives us a mere two hours ago ‘Tehran claims the US attacked it from the UAE as Iran war enters its third week’, everyone knows this is a lie, because neither the UAE or Saudi Arabia allows attacks by the United States to start from their lands. This was said from the very beginning (before the bombing started). I reckon that this is their ‘retaliation’ for the UAE to close down the Iranian sites in the UAE (like a club, schools and the embassy staff reduced to a skeleton staff) and Iran is not happy about that and it is reacting like a disagreeable child. So we are given (at https://apnews.com/article/iran-iraq-us-trump-march-14-2026-oil-prices-a2399398b4c590995b814d7640362a11) “Hours later, there was no sign of an attack on Dubai’s Jebel Ali port — the Mideast’s busiest — or the Khalifa port in Abu Dhabi. But debris from an intercepted Iranian drone hitting an oil facility sparked a fire at the third port, in Fujairah.” And we are also given “A diplomatic adviser to the UAE’s president, Anwar Gargash, said on social media the country has the right to defend itself but “still prioritizes reason and logic, and continues exercising restraint” the escalation setting is already active as we are given “A U.S. official said Friday that 2,500 more Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli were being sent to the Middle East, adding to the military’s largest buildup of warships and aircraft in the region in decades. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military plans. Marine Expeditionary Units can conduct amphibious landings but also specialize in bolstering security at embassies, evacuating civilians and providing disaster relief. The deployment doesn’t necessarily indicate that a ground operation will take place. The Wall Street Journal first reported the Marine deployment.” Other reports state that this is the first of two 2,500 military deployments. I reckon that it will fuel a few disasters. I am saying this because the media (not the most trustworthy ones) are giving us that the United States has no grounded plan and no strategy in place. I wonder if any general would push their troops under those conditions, but that is the setting. I merely wish that my IP would be released onto Iran by Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I believe that in trendy steps (set out by Sun Tzu) there is a stage any army will employ. You optionally FIRST attack infrastructure and transportation, then you come in guns blazing. Destroy Irans oil (so no income), then their infrastructure (so no resupplying) and then the blazing guns (not to be mistaken with Blazing Saddles, a tactic that Mel Brooks invented). When an army faces the setting of ‘this is all there is’ just before an army comes knocking. They tend to get demoralized really quickly, which is a setting that is never to be underestimated.

Then Al Jazeera (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/14/iran-continues-intensified-attacks-across-gulf-in-us-israel-war-fallout) gives us ‘Iran continues intensified attacks across Gulf in US-Israeli war fallout’ where we see “Fire breaks out at UAE’s major Fujairah oil hub, as Iran vows retaliation for US attack on Kharg Island.” It is nice to see a nation that is clueless as the UAE has not aggressively acted against Iran, as such I am happy to give my IP to the UAE, so that they have options. So as we see “In the UAE’s Fujairah emirate, a fire broke out at a major bunkering hub after debris fell during the interception of a drone, the emirate’s media office said on Saturday. It added that a Jordanian citizen was lightly injured in the incident.” So how many drones and missiles were deployed? And Iran merely has one Jordanian (not even a UAE citizen) to show for this. How desperate have they become? And we are also given “Fujairah, outside the Strait of Hormuz, is the outlet for about one million barrels per ‌day of the UAE’s Murban crude oil – a volume equal to about 1 percent of world demand.” So, what is Iran planning? And all this before there are 5,000 boots on the ground. I reckon that if my solution takes away their 13,000 KM railway, they will learn what desperation really looks like. There is an argument that there is ‘validity’ in “Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Saturday that US interests in the UAE, including ports, docks and military locations, are legitimate targets after US forces attacked Iranian islands, Iranian state media reported.” You see, Iran launched 1,500 drones and over 250 missiles and they were largely on UAE targets, on civilian targets. As I see it, the IRGC has dealt with Hamas and Hezbollah lies for so long, they must think the rest of the world is comprise of fools. The media pool is not that big and the rest of the world will OK whatever the UAE will see as valid to keep their citizens safe. 

So as the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/mar/13/iran-war-news-live-updates-us-israel-middle-east-crisis-latest) gives us ‘Oil targets in spotlight as Iran war enters second week – as it happened’, I and rather happy to have published ‘Regurgitation’ 20 hours ago showing Iran that Saudi Arabia has a nice option to take out all 10 refineries and it comes at a speculated cost of $50K-$100K per refinery (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/03/14/regurgitating/). So how much revenue would Iran lose through that. I personally believe that the IP is a steal at twice the price, but as I see it, $500K-$1M as investment to stop Iran getting its daily revenue of a estimated $45 million to $60 million. Invest 2% to stop the revenue of Iran? People might die happy going to sleep at night. And it makes for great headlines (the press wants its pound of meat). And there is a second setting that the Guardian gives. With “Trump said he had chosen not to wipe out the oil infrastructure on Kharg Island, which serves as the export terminal for 90% of Iran’s oil shipments. But he added: “Should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision.”” I have speculated on the fact that the United States are massively broke. First they try to go after Canada, then Greenland and then they take Venezuela (which has useless oil), now they are trying to get to the Iranian oil. And there are optional settings. There was  David Kelly, JP Morgan, OCT2025 stating ‘America is ‘going broke slowly’ and I had that setting already said it in ‘The meme of nothing’ which I wrote on December 17th 2024 (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2024/12/17/the-meme-of-nothing/) and a few times before that. And still the media at large has not picked up on this, it is almost like the Epstein files made them blind of the reality of things and as I see it, the gulf states are the victim of this all, hence the idea to just take all the Iranian refineries out of the equation. It might not be subtle, but it seemingly gives Saudi Arabia and the UAE breathing space. Consider that the 38 trillion dollar debt gives the United States a more than 1 trillion dollar interest bill with projections showing it could exceed $2.1 trillion annually by 2036. Now consider that the United States collected $5.23 trillion in 2025. Now consider that over 19% of all collected taxation is used to pay for the ANNUAL interest. As such the American budget becomes less and less because America hasn’t been able to keep a budget since President Clinton, it has been that long and it is only getting worse for the people in the United States. That is the setting the media is avoiding. They are not even seriously debunking that setting, not since October 2025. I wonder why. 

Have a great day today.
