Statements like this from Trump will make the oil market reaction *worse*
No one who has any idea how the oil market works is buying it—all this does is make it seem like Trump believes it, which means the base case length of this disruption is growing ever-longer.
Tick. Tock.

This order would also presumably apply to most, if not all, CIA officers in Riyadh under diplomatic cover. The CIA station there was already damaged by an Iranian strike. Still, quite the time for CIA to be ostensibly pulling back its presence in the capital of one of its closest regional allies.

This is tonight in Tehran. Explosions everywhere, and people are terrified. At the same time, the Islamic Republic has shut down the internet, leaving millions in darkness and forcing families around the world into painful uncertainty about their loved ones.

remember when the previous OpenAI board tried to fire Altman, saying he was a lying little shit with all sorts of dodgy financial conflicts of interest?
and how the tech sector and access tech journalism dismissed them as hyperbolic liars?
Torn between granting this sideshow the distinction of being too stupid a thing even Trump understands it, and taking this as a sign its game on
BREAKING NEWS: Reuters, citing security sources: Drone strikes UN building in Sulaimaniyah, Iraq
