Just now, a deputy commander of a military district in southern Iran said something like, "We haven't blocked the Strait of Hormuz, we've only prohibited US and Israeli ships from passing through." This instantly sent the market reeling, causing a massive panic. Shipping to Europe, oil, and gas were all affected. They were terrified, completely panicked. However, at this moment, most of the market has recovered from its sharp decline [except for shipping to Europe].
This contrasts sharply with the repeated pronouncements by a Spanish spokesperson, who, with a somber expression, at a press conference announcing a refusal to negotiate with the United States and its permission for the US to use Spanish bases to attack Iran, stated that oil and gas prices were bound to rise.
Just then, an American oil tanker ran aground and sank in the Strait of Hormuz. Upon closer inspection, running aground on one of the world's busiest energy transport arteries effectively confirms Iran's war report that it was sunk by a missile.
Some might ask, with so many news reports, which are true? Who's misleading whom? Actually, they can all be considered true (truth and falsehood intertwine; all's fair in war). This is because there's no single, authoritative leader right now [even if there were, like Trump giving himself a score of 15 out of 10 (in a press conference commenting on the US-Iran actions, giving himself a score out of 10), it would be incredibly dramatic, and the information war is always synchronized with the overall war and runs throughout.]. Information released by any party at any given moment can be considered true at that specific time, but within the overall context or from different perspectives, it can also be considered false.
Everyone is searching for the "ladder" Littlefinger mentioned amidst the chaos, trying to collect as many chips as possible.
As for humanity, as for compassion, it has temporarily lost its foothold amidst the complex web of conflicting forces. This is the self-inflicted misfortune of a group of microorganisms on this planet.
Whatever, bro.
