Europe’s oil shock was sold as a tragic consequence of the war on Iran and chaos in the Strait of Hormuz. The story was simple. Blame Tehran, blame geography, tell Europeans there was no choice but to pay. Yet official documents quietly admit that the EU’s direct dependence on Hormuz is limited and that the real impact came through prices, not empty fuel tanks. While leaders repeated the script, Saudi crude was being rerouted around the strait through the East–West pipeline to Yanbu, Iraqi and Kazakh flows to Europe were kept alive through alternative corridors, and oil majors were telling investors that higher prices would boost profits.…

The Nigerian Army claimed on Sunday that its troops stormed a church in the village of Ariko and freed 31 hostages from the clutches of an armed gang. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) disputed those claims on Monday, claiming no rescue has been completed and the churchgoers are still being held hostage. The church in Ariko, located about 62 miles north of Nigeria’s capital city of Abuja, was raided by gunmen on Sunday morning during Easter celebrations – part of a massive wave of attacks perpetrated against Christians across the country on Easter weekend. Local officials vaguely described the…

Prosecutors in Fairfax County, Virginia, offered an “insane” plea deal to two illegal aliens charged in a vicious mob-style murder, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials say. Last week, the Fairfax County District Attorney’s Office offered a 5-year plea deal to illegal aliens Maldin Anibal Guzman-Videz and Luis Alonzo Sort-Portillo, both of whom were convicted of murdering Nicacio Hernandez Gonzalez in July 2024 at a park in Oakton, Virginia. “This 5-year sweetheart plea deal for murder is insane,” DHS’s Lauren Bis said: This is yet another example of Fairfax sanctuary politicians siding with criminal illegal aliens over U.S. citizens. We are calling on…

American journalist Tucker Carlson has accused President Donald Trump of mocking Christians by issuing an expletive-laden threat to Iran at Easter.On Sunday, Trump again demanded Tehran to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, which has remained effectively shut since the US-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28.“Open the f**king strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell. JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,” the US leader wrote on his Truth Social platform, threatening to demolish Iranian power plants and bridges if it does not comply by Tuesday.Responding on his show on Monday, Carlson said: “How dare you speak that…

Atomic Energy Organization of Iran chief Mohammed Eslami on Monday wrote a letter to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) director Rafael Grossi that accused the IAEA of ignoring the danger from U.S. and Israeli airstrikes near Iran’s nuclear sites, including its operational nuclear reactor at Bushehr. Eslami told Grossi that Bushehr has been attacked four times during Operation Epic Fury, most recently on Saturday. Eslami denounced the attacks as breaches of international law, claimed they could inflict “irreparable consequences” on civilians and the environment by damaging the reactor, and criticized the “lack of decisive action” by Grossi and his agency.…

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) defended his proposed billionaire tax by saying that “The ultimate thing that’s hurting California is the fact that we’re restricting immigration from the best and brightest to come into the United States, the fact that we’ve got irrational blanket tariffs, the fact that we’ve got 10,000 PhDs in the federal government leaving.” Khanna said, “I’m concerned about the Central Valley. I’m concerned about people — two million people in California who are going to lose healthcare. I’m concerned about the people in my district who are going to lose…

The party’s home affairs spokesman says “enough is enough” after London admitted 3.8 million people from countries seeking compensation Nigel Farage’s Reform UK would stop issuing visas to nationals from any country that demands slavery reparations from Britain, the party’s home affairs spokesman has announced, dismissing the compensation claims as “insulting.”Speaking to The Telegraph, Zia Yusuf stated that a growing number of nations are seeking compensation for the UK’s historical role in the transatlantic slave trade, but are ignoring that Britain “made huge sacrifices to be the first major power to outlaw slavery and enforce this prohibition.” Yusuf expressed outrage that…

“May all be revealed” has been my prayer for our world for many years now. That dearly held wish is now being answered, and the truth is looking every bit as ugly as expected. Reading by Tim Foley: It used to be hard to help westerners see the depravity of the US empire. Now it’s just right in everyone’s face with raw genocide footage and insanely evil warmongering of direct economic consequence. It took a lot of work to help the average westerner understand that NATO aggressions actively provoked the war in Ukraine, or that western interventionism played a major…

Pakistan’s prime minister is pressing President Donald Trump to grant a last-minute two-week extension to his Iran deadline as the clock ticks toward an 8 p.m. cutoff that could trigger sweeping U.S. strikes, offering a potential diplomatic off-ramp in the final hours. The White House confirmed Trump has been briefed on the proposal, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying the president “has been made aware of the proposal, and a response will come,” as officials weigh whether to extend the deadline. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose government has served as a primary intermediary between Washington and Tehran, called for…
