pbs.org - Tribally owned gas stations offer cheaper fuel as Iran war drives up prices

Especially in California, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma and Washington state — places with dozens of tribally owned stations, including some in busy travel corridors — tribes exempt from state fuel taxes can sell for much less than competing stations nearby.

A large Victory Day rally was held yesterday in New York, featuring many Soviet flags:

Iran has rejected dismantling its nuclear facilities in any future talks with the US, sources tell the Wall Street Journal

The long awaited Iranian response to the US response came a few hours ago.

An Iranian official to Al Jazeera: Tehran's response to the American proposal came in a realistic and positive form. Our response focuses on ending the war in the entire region, especially in Lebanon, and settling disputes with Washington. Our response focuses on the need for a clear and guaranteed mechanism for lifting all forms of sanctions. Our response is based on the country's supreme interests and the outcomes of our consultations with regional countries. The choice is now in Washington's hands, and its commitment to political realism will be crucial.

Trump is already raging on Truth Social, looks like the response was the same list of negotiating positions that Iran has been making since the start.

OilPrice - $7 Billion In Perfectly Timed Oil Bets Sparks Insider Trading Fears

Last month, we reported that over $1 billion in "perfectly timed" wagers, spanning both traditional oil futures and digital prediction markets, accurately anticipated major military and diplomatic shifts linked to developments in the Iran-US war minutes before they were publicly announced, raising major suspicion of insider trading. Many suspicious accounts were newly created and only traded on specific Iran-related events with a win rate of up to 93%. Well, the final numbers are in, and the initial report might only have been the tip of the iceberg. While previous reports focused on ~$2.6 billion in front-month crude contracts, a broader analysis by Reuters has revealed that total wagers, including bets on Brent, WTI, European diesel, and U.S. gasoline futures, hit $7 billion. According to an analysis by Reuters, the giant bets were executed in large blocks on four specific days, often 15 to 20 minutes before announcements that triggered double-digit declines in oil prices.

Trump posts a threat on Truth Social that analysts say appears to reflect his dissatisfaction with Iran’s response to the US proposal to end the war.

Ynet: Protecting themselves with fishing nets, with the help of donations: "There is no answer to FPV drones”.

The forces are using “fishing nets," which H. claims they obtained independently. "The goal of the 'fishing nets' that we use is actually to distance the drone's impact, so that if it hits me - I won't be killed, but 'only' injured," he said. "Instead of the army being able to provide us with them - the NCOs are raising funds to buy us some. They post a link to a story they publish, and ask citizens for money so that we can buy life-saving equipment." "Hezbollah's combat doctrine is to shoot at us once and then send another drone that targets the rescue force.

oh, a double-tap strike? the same shit the IDF has been doing for years (except, you know, the second tap here still being on military forces, and not on civilian paramedics)? yeah, how does it feel to be on the receiving end now, fuckers?

This adds to the concern, especially for those who rush to treat the wounded and may also be harmed." "This is a life threatening situation and we are helpless against it, we are facing open skies," said H., expressing frustration.

of, "expressing frustration", huh

"As fighters, we do not understand how it is possible that the IDF manages to achieve the capabilities of intercepting outside the atmosphere, and in the end, facing explosive drones from Ali Express, the army does not provide a response. The fighters lose limbs in the best case and their lives in the worst case." He also criticized the government's conduct: "It continues to engage in evasion instead of finding solutions for those who show up time and time again."

💰 Pentagon Says Iran War Cost $25 Billion. An Economist Says Try Trillions.

The Defense Department’s $25 billion price tag for Operation Epic Fury covers only missiles fired, planes flown, and equipment lost — and little else, University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers argues in a New York Times op-ed published Sunday.

The fuller accounting, he writes, runs into the hundreds of billions, and possibly trillions:

▪️ Geopolitical risk: Fed economists estimate heightened risk of this scale costs roughly $200 billion and leaves a million fewer Americans employed within a year

▪️ Interest rates: With rate cuts now off the table, the Fed’s likely response could cost another $200 billion in lost economic output

▪️ Stock market: Wolfers estimates the war has wiped roughly $3 trillion off S&P 500 valuations. Oil prices could be elevated through 2028.

▪️ Growth: Goldman Sachs projects U.S. GDP growth will be 0.5 percentage points lower — around $400 billion in lost income over two years

▪️ Defense spending: The administration’s 2027 defense budget request is $1.5 trillion — a 40% increase, or roughly $4,000 per American household

Budget Director Russell Vought, asked by Congress for a war cost figure in April, said: “I don’t have a ballpark for you.”

⭕️ Netanyahu Says War “Not Over,” Demands Iran’s Uranium Be Physically Removed

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday the war with Iran is “not over,” telling CBS News’s 60 Minutes that Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile must be extracted and its enrichment facilities dismantled before any resolution can be considered complete.

“It’s not over, because there’s still nuclear material — enriched uranium — that has to be taken out of Iran,” Netanyahu said. Asked how, he declined to suggest Israeli forces could be involved in the operation: “You go in, and you take it out,” adding that Trump had expressed a similar view privately: “What President Trump has said to me — ‘I want to go in there.’”

International monitors estimate Iran holds roughly 970 pounds of near-weapons-grade uranium. Netanyahu said U.S.- Israeli operations have “degraded a lot of it,” referring to nuclear sites—adding, “but all that is still there, and there’s work to be done.”

Ali Vaez, Iran Program Director at the International Crisis Group, offered context: Iran possesses that stockpile because Netanyahu torpedoed the JCPOA — the deal that would have barred Iran from accumulating it until 2031. And it is now unaccounted for because Netanyahu launched a war in 2025 that severed IAEA access to Iranian nuclear sites. “The last person anyone should trust for solutions,” Vaez wrote, “is him.”

Al Jazeera - US considering a pause on federal gas tax amid high pump prices. “All measures that can be taken to lower the price at the pump and lower the prices for Americans, this administration is in support of,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright told the NBC News programme “Meet the Press”.

Wright repeatedly said he couldn’t guarantee whether prices for gas or petrol could dip below $3 per gallon (3.8 litres) later this year – or rise above $5 – amid the US-Israel war on Iran, but claimed there was an “incredibly bright” outlook for energy production in countries such as Venezuela. The average gas price in the US is currently $4.52 per gallon, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), with a federal tax of about 18 cents per gallon.
