Trump acaba de soltar que está “pensando en tomar” el Estrecho de Ormuz. Brent ha tocado $119 hoy. El G7 convocando reunión de emergencia. Y el Secretario de Energía tan tranquilo: “semanas, no meses.” A ver, vamos a explicar por qué eso no es tan fácil. 🧵
Cuba is up…
They have t forgotten. They just never knew about it
I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth
Tehran is lovely. And tehrunis are just great. I loved it there
On this #InternationalWomensDay what is easily the most inspiring photo to come out of Iran in decades. Not even close.

Change comes from below not from war. 👑👑

Todos los días espero noticias vuestras
US/Israelis have started hitting infrastructure. Reports of 30 reserve oil tankers around Tehran. Videos are horrible. A good friend works at the Tehran refinery. Extremely worried.
We used to be a safe country where things like explosions, terrorist attacks, etc. were unknown. Tehran was one of the safest megacities, w very little violent crime. You could walk around at 1am safely. Beautiful cities, parks, museums, shopping, & cafes.
Now it’s all gone to shits within a week.
