Iran Strikes, Hormuz Pipeline, Truth Social and White House Bets
from 4 Things To Know This Afternoon · host Erick-Woods Erickson
Renewed U.S. Strikes on Iran American forces are again bombing Iranian positions near the Strait of Hormuz. I examine Iran's failed diplomacy, President Trump's response, and J.D. Vance's accusation that Israel tried to undermine the peace deal. A Pipeline That Could Bypass Hormuz Chevron is exploring a pipeline route through Iraq that could reduce dependence on the Strait of Hormuz. I explain how new energy routes involving Iraq, Jordan, and Israel could weaken Iran's leverage. Truth Social Sells Rapid Access Truth Social is selling faster access to President Trump's market-moving posts. I discuss why monetizing proximity to presidential statements creates another serious breach of public trust. White House Prediction-Market Bets A longtime White House teleprompter operator is reportedly under investigation over suspicious prediction-market wagers involving presidential speeches. The controversy raises new questions about insider knowledge, corruption, and accountability.
