The 6pm "news" reported the US attacked and disabled a tanker apparently bound for Kharg.

TVT is live between 6 and 8. Around 7:30, Cenk said the wires were reporting Kuwait, Bahrain, and Kurds in northern Iraq were all apparently under attack. The takeaway being that, after repeated US attacks, Iran is hitting back, in force.

Oil climbs as U.S.-Iran trade strikes while Trump says negotiations with Tehran underway

Oil prices rose Wednesday as investors weighed uncertainty over U.S.-Iran talks with the two countries launching fresh strikes Tuesday, even as President Donald Trump said negotiations with Tehran were ongoing.

U.S. Central Command said Tuesday that it had defeated multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones and launched defensive strikes following “attempted attacks” by Iran, signaling an escalation in Mideast tensions.

“Fake News Reports that the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the U.S.A., stopped speaking a few days ago are false and erroneous,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Tuesday afternoon.

Last night, the Beeb compared some satellite pix of US bases around the Gulf, with corresponding pix from before the war, and concluded Iran has done a *lot* more damage than the Trump regime is letting on. Meanwhile, the US is using the Israeli playbook, calling all it's attacks "defensive", even when the US shoots first.

More from the Ellison propaganda network, formerly known as "CBS News".

This report, from Indian media, has the timing the other way around, US attacking first, and Iran responding.

Enter "Baghdad Bob"

Headline on the Beeb tonight, words to the effect "Israeli attacks in Lebanon continue, cease fire holding"

Meanwhile, everyone is quoting the official line about the Iranian attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain: two missiles aimed at Kuwait broke up and fell into the sea. Three missiles fired at Bahrain were intercepted, and did not hit their targets. One thing I noticed. No article says how many missiles were in each attack. With Iran having an inventory of thousands of missiles and drones, did they only launch two to Kuwait? Or did they launch ten, and CENTCOM is only talking about the two that broke up? Same with Bahrain. Were there only three in the attack, or did they intercept three, out of a larger number?

Can't be sure of anything, with "Baghdad Bob" in charge.
