More than 40 Middle East energy assets ‘severely damaged,’ IEA chief says​

The head of the International Energy Agency said on Monday that at least 40 energy assets across nine countries in the Middle East have been “severely or very severely” damaged since the Iran war began, raising fears of prolonged supply disruptions.

Speaking at the National Press Club in Australia’s capital, IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said damage to oil and gas fields, refineries and pipelines across the Middle East would take some time to repair.

His comments come as market participants closely monitor threats from the U.S. and Iran over energy facilities as the sprawling regional conflict enters its fourth week.

The Iran war has severely disrupted energy trade flows through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, creating what the IEA says is the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market. The global supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) has also been reduced by roughly 20% since the conflict began on Feb. 28.

Do you think this passes the smell test? Iran and Dotard have been trading threats all weekend. Iran put out a statement that it would target countries that hold US treasuries.

Now we're told they've been talking for a few days?

The problem is your source is CNBC. Regular NBC is bad enough, but that's even worse.
Probably devoid of facts period.

He has to TACO. When he does, Iran wins.

This is now on his VP and Cabinet and/or Congressional Republicans. They can put a stop to this. The processes are ready to go.

GFY.

He told CNBC’s Joe Kernen in a phone call shortly after the post that “we are very intent on making a deal with Iran.”

However, Iranian state media, citing an unnamed “senior security official” in a post on Telegram countered Trump’s description of conversations, saying direct or indirect talks have not taken place between Washington and Tehran.

“There is been no negotiation and there is no negotiation, and with this kind of psychological warfare, neither the Strait of Hormuz will return to its pre-war conditions nor will there be peace in the energy markets,” state media reported the official as saying.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said he would order the military to postpone strikes on Iran's power plants and energy infrastructure for five days.

At times like these I begin to wonder if trump has arranged for a way to profit from how his actions or statements move the markets.

Looking forward to seeing how Trump and MAGA turn this goddamn mess with Iran into a big victory.

Because cult.

Dow surges 600 points in relief rally after Trump says U.S. and Iran have had ‘productive’ talks: Live updates

President Donald Trump said the U.S. and Iran have held talks and that he was halting strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.

www.cnbc.com

Stock futures shot higher in a sudden move after President Donald Trump said the U.S. and Iran have held productive talks over the last two days and he was halting any strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures jumped 1,100 points, or 2.6% higher. S&P 500 futures jumped 2.7%, and Nasdaq-100 futures added 2.7%.

Those moves came as the Iran war entered its fourth week, with tensions escalating over the weekend. President Donald Trump threatened an attack on Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz — a key shipping route for oil and other energy products — isn’t reopened. Iran responded in turn said it would target U.S. infrastructure, including energy and desalination facilities in the Gulf, if the U.S. carried out its threat.

Who are we going to talk to? Don said everyone in Iran's leadership is dead.

If anything was predictable about the conflict trump got us in to it's that he would blink. Cuz despite he claims to the contrary he did not expect the impact of his ill-fated decision to attack Iran to go this badly with respect to the US economy/stock market.

The Dow changes is someone farts

After the illegal surprise attack, reminiscent of Japan's illegal attack on the USA fleet in Pearl Harbor during the middle of negotiations, surely the Iranians will trust whatever he says.

Iran, at least publicly, rejected any progress in ending the U.S.-Israeli war on the country, now in its fourth week. American, Israeli and Iranian officials have frequently given clashing statements throughout the war as they seek to advance their competing agendas and motives.

Mr. Trump himself has often issued contradictory pronouncements about his plans for the next steps in the conflict, sometimes on the same day. On Saturday, Mr. Trump had threatened to bomb Iran’s power plants after 48 hours unless Iran agreed to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil shipping route in the Persian Gulf.

Iran’s foreign ministry suggested there were no talks with the United States although it noted that there had been “regional initiatives” aimed at reducing tensions. The ministry argued Mr. Trump’s statements were part of an effort “to reduce energy prices and to buy time for implementing his military plans,” according to Iran’s Mizan news agency.

Analysts and officials say there is no clear offramp for the American-Israeli air war with Iran, which began on Feb 28. and has ignited a wider regional conflict. Despite Mr. Trump’s calls for the ouster of the Islamic Republic and his vow to help Iranians overthrow their leaders, the Iranian government remains in place, as is much of its nuclear program.

He had a dream.

Trump said on Friday that the U.S. was having a "hard time" finding people to hold talks with saying that "We have nobody to talk to. And you know what? We like it that way."

Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency quoted the Foreign Ministry in Tehran as denying President Donald Trump's claim of talks between Washington and Tehran.

Trump, the ministry said, aims to buy time for U.S. military plans and reduce energy prices, Mehr reported.
