(Not nukes! <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/TACO" rel="tag">#<span>TACO</span></a> instead.

Those reports say that the Strait will be opened *under IRGC control, for two weeks, using tolls (that's new), with payment in <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Chinese" rel="tag">#<span>Chinese</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Yuan" rel="tag">#<span>Yuan</span></a>. </p><p>This is the beginning of the end of the petrodollar.  And Iran has two weeks to rebuild their missile systems and 14 Billion in Yuan we just gave them to buy oil. </p><p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Israel" rel="tag">#<span>Israel</span></a> says ceasefire doesn't apply to them, and they  targeted and destroyed one of the oldest synagogues in the world in Tehran, burying torah scrolls older than those in Jerusalem.  </p><p>Wrong kind of Jews. Tan / Brown ones. Like the bombing of the Catholic churches in Palestine and Lebanon. Wrong kind of Christians. Not the Crusaders, you see. Don't worship the Golden Calf, preferring the peasant Palestinian. </p><p>How is this a "winning"?</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/ebbd8289-3639-4150-93fa-d15dde145438/y-all-i-officially-have-no-idea-what-in-tarnation-is-actually-happening-in-iran.</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 10:52:47 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/ebbd8289-3639-4150-93fa-d15dde145438.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 03:35:58 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Y&#x27;all, I officially have no idea what in tarnation is actually happening in #Iran. on Wed, 08 Apr 2026 09:59:58 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/missconstrue%40mefi.social" rel="nofollow noopener">@<span>MissConstrue</span></a></span> ... wondering whether the history of previous Iranian oil bourses based on the Euro will percolate upwards...<br />Yeah, massive self-own on the part of US, but when you look at the current leadership it's not hard to understand.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://infosec.exchange/users/muddle/statuses/116368500252042776</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://infosec.exchange/users/muddle/statuses/116368500252042776</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[muddle@infosec.exchange]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 09:59:58 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Y&#x27;all, I officially have no idea what in tarnation is actually happening in #Iran. on Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:07:40 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/missconstrue%40mefi.social">@<span>MissConstrue</span></a></span> To quote from 'Through the Looking Glass': </p><p>"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "It means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."</p><p>"The question is," said Alice, "Whether you can make words mean so many different things."</p><p>"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "Which is to be master - that’s all."</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.ie/users/clickhere/statuses/116367822726660322</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.ie/users/clickhere/statuses/116367822726660322</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[clickhere@mastodon.ie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:07:40 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Y&#x27;all, I officially have no idea what in tarnation is actually happening in #Iran. on Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:03:54 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/missconstrue%40mefi.social">@<span>MissConstrue</span></a></span> <br />It's a loss for US and a win for China/BRICS.<br />The downfall of $ as a reserve currency accelerated.</p><p>OTOH about-ish half of the Israeli Jews are "tan".
