Iran makes frantic move to store overflowing oil supply — in sign regime is nearing brink 

Georgia Worrell / NEW YORK POST 

Iran is scrambling to get a massive crude carrier to Kharg Island, in a sign that President Trump’s blockade is bringing the regime’s oil-critical hub — which controls roughly 90% of Iranian crude oil exports — to the brink, according to a report.

Tehran has been forced to take a 30-year-old oil tanker, Nasha, out of retirement as Kharg Island nears its maximum onshore capacity, Gulf News reported Friday.

The vessel, which has been anchored empty for the past several years, is being revived as floating storage for Iran’s teeming crude supply, the outlet reported. 

The tired oil tanker is currently en route to the Islamic Republic’s primary crude oil export terminal, according to data from TankerTrackers.com. 

The frantic move comes as Kharg Island’s remaining spare storage could fill up in just 12 to 13 days, with Iran’s net oil inflow running around 1 million barrels per day, analysts told Gulf News. 

Congestion at the regime’s most critical oil stronghold could spiral into a major national economic problem for the regime, the outlet noted.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will lead a delegation to Islamabad, which is set to arrive around 10 p.m. local time, an Iranian source said.

It was not immediately clear whether the trip indicates a second round of talks is imminent.

 

Senior Pakistani leaders held an official phone call with their Iranian counterparts Friday to discuss the ongoing cease-fire as plans for negotiations have foundered.

Trump calls for 2020 presidential election to be ‘permanently wiped from the books’ if Southern Poverty Law Center convicted of fraud

Chris Bradford / NEW YORK POST  

President Trump on Friday called for the 2020 election to be “permanently wiped from the books” if the Southern Poverty Law Center is convicted of making fraudulent payments totaling $3 million to members of white supremacist groups the organization claimed to fight.

“The Southern Poverty Law Center, one of the greatest political scams in American History, has been charged with FRAUD,” Trump wrote in a fiery Truth Social post. 

“This is another Democrat Hoax, along with Act Blue, and many others.” 

Trump then called for the results of the 2020 election – which he lost to Joe Biden – to be wiped if the group is found guilty of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering offenses. 

“If it is true, the 2020 Presidential Election should be permanently wiped from the books and be of no further force or effect!” he said. 

The SPLC was indicted Tuesday – with prosecutors claiming $3 million worth of donated funds was secretly funneled to groups, including the...Read more, and see video here.

A Virginia Circuit Court Has Just Ruled The State's New Congressional Map Unconstitutional

Dmitri Bolt / Townhall Tipsheet 

 

A Virginia Circuit Court has ruled the state’s newly passed congressional map unconstitutional and issued an injunction preventing the map from being certified and taking effect, according to Ken Cuccinelli the former Attorney General of Virginia. The court also denied a motion to stay a pending appeal. 

On Tuesday, Virginia voters approved a new congressional map that heavily favors Democrats, transforming a closely divided state into one projected to send 10 Democrats and just one Republican to Congress, one of the most aggressive examples of gerrymandering in recent years.

Many held the vote as an example that 51 percent of voters have a significant amount of control over 49 percent of voters, a chief reason our Founding Fathers favored a mix of Democratic and Republican principles, as opposed to strict Democracy.

It is also a reason the left loves making everything more Democratic. Read more, see Xs and videos here.

Iran releases video purporting to show commandos seizing ships in Strait of Hormuz

Chris Bradford / New York Post  

Iran has released a video purportedly showing armed, masked commandos seizing two cargo vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. 

The propaganda clip was pumped out by state media Wednesday after the regime boasted it had seized the Panama-flagged MSC Francesca and Liberia-flagged Epaminondas vessels, just hours after the cease-fire was extended.

In the video, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps soldiers are seen speeding toward a container ship that had MSC emblazoned on the side before scaling a ladder and boarding the vessel. 

The commandos are wearing masks and carrying guns on their backs.

Then, soldiers were filmed approaching the Epaminondas before they entered a supposed engine room.

The armed soldiers then climbed up the stairs to the ship’s top decks.

The IRGC has accused the two vessels of...Read more, see video and photos here.
