Trump will be speaking soon today at the swearing in ceremony, he will probably have something very interesting to say to maybe shore up confidence in an agreement with Iran to end this war.
We have a lot of fire power and leverage there already and more on the way.

The addition of the 82nd Airborne Division to the troops sent to the region is significant. They are added to:
1) The 31st and 11th Marine Expeditionary Units (close to five thousand marines).
2) A company-sized element from the 75th Ranger Regiment (152 Rangers). They are are specialists in seizing airfields and conducting surgical raids to capture or kill high-value targets or secure nuclear materials.
3) 50,000 U.S. troops permanently stationed in Kuwait, Qatar, and Jordan and roughly 18,000 reinforcements.
This is a force large enough for a mission to seize and hold Kharg Island, and not enough for an invasion of the mainland. They will be ready to operate by the end of the month. Trump gave a deadline for March 27 and is trying to how he means business if they say no. They will say no. The potential for escalation to a full ground war to secure bridgeheads and avenge losses will be great.

A senior U.S. official tells me: The 82nd Airborne Division headquarters has received an order from the Pentagon to deploy to the Middle East along with several infantry brigades of thousands of soldiers
Why it matters: This is a significant additional reinforcement to the U.S. force structure in the region ahead of a possible ground operation in Iran

Those points have been obvious from the start. The only people who didn't realize that were not paying attention or willfully blind. I'm sure this was discussed with China early on; stay out of the way and you'll get your oil.
But we had the usual suspects on this board suggesting the US was too weak or scared to stop Iranian tankers from moving through the Strait of Hormuz.

JUST IN: Kevin O'Leary tells everyone panicking about President Trump, oil and Iran to CHILL OUT because this may end up a GENERATIONAL victory for America
"Everybody, chillax, let this thing play out! There is a REALLY big opportunity here, a HUGE one, and everybody gets the upside, including all our trading partners."
"I just see it for what it is: it's history being made."
"We work this out? We're selling stuff to Saudi Arabia, UAE, Asia, Japan, this is a HUGE opportunity."
"To affect the economy...you need oil at above $93 for 3 MONTHS. We're only 1/3rd into it."

Uhhh Beijing buys crude, not refined products from Iran.
Whether the Iranian refineries go belly up or not has no bearing on Beijing.

Sources have told me U.S. officials are highly pleased with Lebanon’s decision to expel Iran’s ambassador
The move comes after intense pressure from vocal Lebanese MPs pushing for a tougher stance against Iranian influence.
It also follows months of U.S.-backed diplomacy, aligning with the 10-point plan presented by envoy Tom Barrack.
That plan outlines a path toward stability, deeper U.S. engagement, and eventual normalization with Israel.
Why it matters: this marks a significant shift in Lebanon’s positioning, and signals growing U.S. influence over its political direction.
This is a very consequential shift for Lebanon

This is not the first time that a talking head says that the refineries produce crude oil. Most are more ignorant than a bag of hammers
