Gulf states shift trillions in investment toward the U.S. and a “Board of Peace” focused on development and modern energy
Barbara Boyd argues that most commentary on the Middle East misses the economic dimension: after U.S. energy independence, Trump is targeting the City of London’s long-standing influence over global energy pricing.
She cites Trump’s Truth Social warning to Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, subsequent negotiations, and a five-day extension, contrasting media reactions with what she calls London and Wall Street interests.
Boyd says Britain is facing an economic emergency as energy and borrowing costs surge, while Gulf states shift trillions in investment toward the U.S. and a “Board of Peace” focused on development and modern energy.
She claims the true Hormuz chokepoint is London’s marine war-risk insurance, noting Lloyd’s cancellation led to an 81% traffic collapse, and frames current events as a struggle between empire and sovereign nations.
Global oil prices experienced a sharp drop of nearly 9% after President Donald Trump signaled that the ongoing US-Iran conflict may be approaching a resolution.
As a result Brent crude tumbled to $92.50 per barrel, while US oil futures fell to $88.60, correcting Monday`s surge to $119.50, the highest since the Russia-Ukraine war.
Despite the sharp drop, oil prices remain around 30% above pre-conflict levels, highlighting ongoing market volatility and energy supply concerns.
This Time the U.S. Attack on Iran Will Be for Real – and for Keeps. – Global Research – 25 March 2026.
First of all, the Strait of Hormuz has remained open.
Iran is letting ships from India, Japan and other countries use it.
So there is no need to “liberate” it.
That’s not what the imminent U.S. attack is about.
And it’s certainly not about Iran seeking an atomic “weapon of mass destruction.”
That’s been the cover story to distract attention from the long-term U.S. plan that’s underlain its foreign policy for the past century.
The aim is to control Iran and the oil trade behind it – who can buy this oil and who can be denied access to oil and gas – and even more important, the export revenues from this oil trade.
This is the “final” conquest in the U.S. game to control and weaponize the world’s oil trade: To seize Iran’s oil and turn it over to either a client regime (Trump has said that he wants to select the new ruler personally) or to U.S. companies – and then to use the chaos in the Arab OPEC countries to impose the same control over them.

RE : “Gulf states shift trillions in investment toward the U.S. and a “Board of Peace” focused on development and modern energy”
So now the Gulf states can relax. They finally came up with their ‘protection’ money to Trump and Satanyahoo’s Epstein handlers in the US. Trump gave them a 5 day extension to come up with the goodies and sure enuff they figured it was an offer too good to refuse. Mammon works in mysterious ways.
–
And youse all figured it was Iran that was to blame, right?
Pat, there are only so many cow and bull hitches you can tie onto a pin dick.
How long is a piece of twine?
On the back of Trump announcing a five days delay on committing war crimes in Iran, the price of crude oil yesterday dropped ten percent, but unleaded petrol jumped twenty cent per litre this mourning.
Someone must be having a lend of us. Why would the Iranians enter into talks with the US and Israel yet gain when every time they start talking the US and Israel smash them even harder before the talks are concluded.
–
Another round of ‘talks’ and the Iranians will become a lost civilisation.
Editor cairnsnews said – “… your fuel bill will be back to usual or less by June…”
Promise?
Ah, Unicorn Fairyland, folks, where Peace President Ginger Nuts plays 175-dimension Chess and Magic Elves fart petroleum products in abundance!
Maybe be stocking up on toilet paper while you still can, once you’ve been LOCKED DOWN in GLOBALIST LOCKSTEP and the supermarket shelves are EMPTY you’ll not be buying ANYTHING from ANYONE and you won’t be able to AFFORD it anyway, even if the Banksters let you HAVE what you THOUGHT was “your” money (which they won’t). And just BTW, folks, where exactly do you think you’re gonna be GETTING “your” money from in the first place if you’re still silly enough to GIVE it to the BANKS? LOCKED DOWN means LOCKED DOWN and no fuel means no power, no food, no water, no transport, no NOTHING.
Lucky for us we’ll still be washing down our crispy fried crickets with pureed maggot milk. Yummy, “real milk mouth feel”, folks, what’s no to like?
P.S. I wonder how much they pay for fuel in Gaza? Because Peace President Ginger Nuts cares so much, folks, really he does.
P.P.S. Yay Super Trump! Yay the Legendary White Hats!
P.P.P.S. Lucky for us, sturdy rope and lamp posts don’t need no frigging fuel, and neither does burning mongrel arsehole bastards at the stake, just BTW, because anything combustible will do.
Sir Rope said – “… I’ve run out of ideas…”
Why start now?
Wow, Iran wants to join the Epstein Class, after all that’s happen, school children murdered by the Ashkenazi Goyim, don’t thing so…. NO NEGOTIATIONS WITH TRUMP’ — PROF. MARANDI 🔥 https://old.bitchute.com/video/Htcd1GTnCZo3/
I’ve run out of ideas. So I’ll keep it simple. Death to Israel. Death to America.
Aussies are still cattle, idk how that is connected.
People have totally unrealistic expectations about what a Potus can do, after all they have been brought up on “Santa Claus” and such myths. As I wrote before, the presidents who tried to be too honest, got shot dead Lincoln (money printer) and JFK (CIA challenger), dragged through the mud and dumped for stopping Vietnam (Nixon), sabotaged and lame ducked with hostages drama (Carter)( ref Halloween Massacre ), shot as a warning and eventually lame ducked (Reagan) and now we are onto Trump walking through the DeepState minefield.
If the Potus says “You have to have your freedom” in the case of the injections, that’s as much as you are going to get. Basically you have to make compromise decisions and your main ability is in hiring and firing. Trump has opted out of the whole BigPharma scene now and you must take your complaints to RFK, for as long as he can survive anyway.
The DeepState is far far more lethal than the commoners, refer Commenter Sir Rope for analysis of the commoners. The commoners don’t like it because Sir Rope is right on target. Collectively, they are bloody useless. They are almost totally bereft of public spirit, they are almost uniformly selfish, timid and fearful, easily brainwashed, craving leadership, they are going to cop the Mark of the BIS with barely a murmur, some of them love it, find out about Sweden if you don’t believe me.
Compassion has to stop somewhere if people refuse to help themselves.
Volunteering for the Alt-media is an absolute minimum and you won’t get more than a generous minimum from me.
Why should I care more than that.
People still actually believe Trump can tell the truth. Where have they been during his time in politics? This is the arsehole who gave the pharmaceutical world, Gates & Co. a free hand to attack the world’s population with HIS “Operation Warp Speed”. Haven’t any of you lost friends or relatives to their Covid-19 “vaccine” yet? Trump & Fauci stood on the same platform when Fauci espoused the huge lie about a new virus about to arrive during Trump’s first term. How would anybody know of a new virus arriving especially within a particular time frame? Talk about a massive con which the MSM spread immediately.
I wonder how many millions of dollars arrived in Trump’s pocket or campaign fund?
Hey folks,
Maybe listen to some of the commenters here, they’re telling the Truth, Iran has publicly refuted any claim that they’ve entered into negotions with the Epstein Regime.
And maybe consider that old adage, “Fool me once… etc”. Surely by now you’ve noticed that the ONLY thing coming out of the Peace President’s cake-hole is BS?
Iran has already stated their demands, their conditions for a cessation of hostilities, and that includes COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL of Amerikka from the Middle East and FULL COMPENSATION to Iran for all the unprovoked attacks on it over the last FOREVER.
Clearly, Super Trump aka Peace President Ginger Nuts will NEVER concede defeat, even though he’s already been defeated, so we’re due for YEARS more of this world-destroying BS yet.
And just BTW, folks, all those poor delusional clowns STILL pushing the Super Trump 54-dimension chess narrative just CANNOT let it go and face reality. It’s a religious thing, after all.
“the ongoing US-Iran conflict may be approaching a resolution” – no it’s not.
It’s been put on hold for a few days to protect the share market from a jittery meltdown or it’s been put on hold to prepare troops for more of the same this weekend.
The remains a stalemate.
The Iranian Foreign Minister has denied any such discussions and we are yet to know who Trump is referring to, although the name Kushner, the unelected real estate son-in-law came up. No word of who exactly he was discussing things with.
An updated analysis from foreign Correspondent Political Journalist (with experience in the Middle East), Pepe Escobar, may help those who are tired of all the conjecture and are serious about understanding the complexities;

Don’t stress your fuel bill will be back to usual or less by June.Ed
Thank God we know that but obviously the Iranians didn’t. Ed
In the last article I put a comment about the history of US presidents who bucked the DeepState and the consequences, they were JFK, Nixon, Carter, Reagan and now Trump. The DeepState accomplices were LBJ, Ford, HW Bush, Clinton, W Bush, Obama and Biden. The DeepState and Zion are inseparable. Look at the shape of West Palestine, it was carved out to include Ben Gurion canal, from Gaza to the Gulf of Aqaba. The Saudi “Line” project points from Aqaba to just south of Kuwait on the Persian Gulf. https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-Line-and-the-Neom-Project-in-their-regional-context-personal-elaboration_fig1_369185947
Some people believe an ice-age scenario is not far away, with the sun cooling off as it did in the 1300’s and again in the 1800’s. In the 1300’s there were rolling famines and all sorts of problems. With the Greater Zion project, which joos are being used as scapegoats and also accomplice-partners in, we see the battle for the Sinai peninsula is not over and the Anglo-American empire plans to annex the whole lot. Once upon a time Yemen was the big power up the western side of the Arabian peninsula. They still show an incredible propensity for breeding.
I think Trump would like to present himself at the pearly gates saying “I saved the maximum amount of people from being slaughtered but I could not defeat the DeepState”, meanwhile we are all going to be transhumanised and technocratised and that’s not Trump’s fault, the fault is with the Noddies who use “PayWave”, who don’t like thinking, who cheerfully vote UnaParty, who think Sarah Hanson Young is something to do with a better world, yes a better world for SHY and it ends there.
Bob Brown should come out of retirement as Mahatir did a few years ago, to fix the wreckage. Mahatir UN video is on rumble, it’s about 2 minutes long. The fault for everything all comes down to the Noddies who are too stoopefied to even think about anything. They voted ALP in Adelaide because they were promised a slightly bigger slice of a shrinking pie.
There are no talks, that’s just more Trump bullshit to back down from his 48 hour ultimatum. He’s done the same thing regarding his proxy war against Russia, he issues ultimatums then comes up with a bullshit reason to back down. That bloke is all hot air.
I don’t even read or listen to the sh-t if I see some stupid “Heroic and Stern” picture of the Pretender Trump, that’s all I need to know.
Zionist-Creep.
Is he a traitor?
No actually, he’s a Jew. A billionaire con-man extraordinaire, a “chaos magician”, a “MAGA”.
He’s proven his credentials as such.

iran is denying any negotiations or talks with usa and continue to block the passage of any oil tankers without paying a toll in yuan
the announced ceasefire doesn’t include israel who has just confirmed that they will continue striking selected targets in both lebanon and iran..
this is probably just a brief pause to allow expats in the know to have the chance of escape and for the arrival of the full 10k expeditionary marine force which will probably try and sneak thru in a cargo ship if the straight is actually opened for a few days..
Is it:
1. US, Israel + minion sycophant Western nations (Inc) vs Iran;
or is it:
2. US, Israel Inc vs Iran backed by China + Russia;
or is it:
3. US, Israel Inc, China + Russia vs Iran;
or is it:
4. US, Israel Inc, China + Russia + Iran death cult theatre?
