Not putting much faith in this story at the moment considering the sources but it's out there. Since it came from pro Iranian sources and a very jilted Israeli press, I doubt it's true.

KAN Israel News, citing an Iranian-linked news network, reports that $3 billion was transferred from Abu Dhabi to Tehran aboard a private Boeing 737.
According to the report, Iran agreed to halt direct attacks on Israel after receiving a U.S. message, delivered through Qatar, that Israel would refrain from further strikes in Lebanon.
The funds were reportedly flown to Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport aboard UAE Royal Jet aircraft A6-RJF, which was tracked traveling from Abu Dhabi to Iran.
At this stage, the flight itself was genuine (it happened during Irans airspace closure) and the presence of a UAE delegation in Tehran has been reported by multiple sources.
There is no independent confirmation that $3 billion was transferred or that such an arrangement was reached.
The $3B claim should be treated as unverified.

Like most things associated with an Amal Movement, this is probably crap.

quote:Kuwait offers 2 cargoes of oil to Asia-first since the SOH closed Oilprice.com
Kuwait, one of OPEC’s top producers and one of the exporters most affected by the near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz, is offering its crude to Asian buyers for the first time since the Iran war choked off transit through the critical chokepoint.
At least 4 million barrels of Kuwaiti crude loaded on two supertankers capable of carrying 2 million barrels each are being directly offered by the national oil company Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) to buyers in China and South Korea, anonymous traders with knowledge of the matter told Bloomberg on Tuesday.
The two very large crude carriers (VLCC) have cleared the Strait of Hormuz and the cargoes can now be taken to ports in Asia promptly, according to the traders.
The first Kuwaiti crude offering of cargoes that have passed through the world’s most critical oil chokepoint since February 28 signal that some of the crude supply out of the Persian Gulf is making its way to buyers despite the collapse of tanker traffic and the months-long delays in deliveries.
Unlike Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait does not have a pipeline alternative to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, which has severely stifled its crude oil exports in recent months.
However, traffic at Hormuz is becoming increasingly opaque and difficult to track, with the market and analysts flying blind in guesstimating how much crude supply from the Middle East is trickling through the Strait.
Kuwait will likely need up to 12 weeks after the Strait of Hormuz re-opens to restore the oil production that has been curtailed since the war began on February 28, a KPC official said last week.
Kuwait doesn’t have an export outlet not depending on the Strait of Hormuz.
Iraq, whose exports have been also severely restricted, at least has a pipeline north through Kurdistan to the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan, whose capacity Baghdad plans to triple in three months to about 770,000 barrels per day.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has hiked flows on the East-West pipeline to maximize oil exports from the Red Sea port on Yanbu, while the UAE started construction on a new pipeline to Fujairah, which will bypass Hormuz and will become operational next year.

Would be wild if true.

Lebanese Christians mostly support Israel. Even most of the Lebanese Muslims usually support Israel against Hezbollah.

That would be worse than the Obama deal if we find out that we used the UAE to funnel $3B to our enemy in order for them to sign a piece of paper that they will throw in the trash can as soon as we are not looking. That is why I believe it to be untrue. Even with the way that Trump is handling this with kid gloves, I don't believe he wants to make a worse deal than Obama.

He has been saying that since the April ceasefire began. It's always supposed to be done in the middle of the week and then on Friday evening "something" happens to derail the process.
Either Trump moves his goal posts, Iran crosses another red line with impunity, the IRGC guys send another deal with crazy demands or something else, this will be de-railed by the weekend IMO.

No they don’t. They support the end of hezbollah and not getting themselves involved in entanglement that don’t directly affect their country.

Oh frick, not sure how I missed that.
2 tankers went up out of Terceira. The REACH callsign has been used for bombing runs before. Tankers out of Terceira were used for strikes on February 28th (and I am sure countless other times).
With Trumps latest comments I believe this is a live a run. If it is, we will find out shortly. If it is not, someone correct me.
