An Iranian Telegram channel gives us a glimpse into life in Tehran, after more than 40 days of war:
Tehran has filled with Toyota Hilux pickup trucks armed with machine guns. The city’s appearance has become just like during the ISIS rule in Raqqa(Syria) and Mosul(Iraq). Special units are deployed in parks, schools, and mosques. Checkpoints have increased, but with fewer personnel.
At most major intersections, suppression forces have been stationed. Under the bridges of all highways, checkpoints have been set up with flags of the Islamic Republic, Zainabiyoun, Fatemiyoun, and Hashd al-Shaabi, deliberately causing traffic jams and harassing citizens.
Tehran has effectively become a military camp for foreign militias subordinate to the Revolutionary Guards. Congratulations to the dishonorable commanders of the army.
Private companies are operating at full capacity, but government offices, which were supposed to work with 50% of the staff, barely reach 30%. And even those who do come leave in the middle of the day. In other words, if you arrive at offices toward the end of the day, there is almost no one there. Telephone response is almost non-existent. The city’s transportation system also operates at less than half its pre-war capacity.
Most city buses are used by special units and Basij for rest and changing clothes.
In practice, there is no government. Everything is under the control of the Revolutionary Guards and security bodies. The government has effectively become a ceremonial body that advances the economic, social, and military goals of the Revolutionary Guards. Government institutions have become a kind of independent “colonies,” with no connection between them or with the higher levels.
Education systems like “Shad” are not operational, and in practice, schooling in schools is suspended. Universities have also moved to online learning, but with what internet and infrastructure? Nothing.
Governmental, service, and banking systems also operate intermittently. ATMs mostly have no cash, and it is almost impossible to obtain cash.
Tehran is no longer the Tehran it once was. The place of movement, energy, and bustle has been taken by waves of suppression forces and armed armored vehicles. Nothing here is normal. Do not believe the staged and fake pictures coming from parks and cafes. These days, if security conditions and means allowed, it would be possible to make a documentary about Tehran’s condition and call it: “Tehran – The City of the Walking Dead.”
But people still hope. The failure of the talks in Islamabad was good news for them because there is still hope that the fate of this violent regime will be decided. The truth is that the public fears the renewal of war, but fears even more the renewed recovery of the Islamic Republic.

🇺🇸 #Oklahoma high school principal (Kirk Moore) seen charging at and disarming a school shooter.
The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.” While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover.
When the Principal woke up that day, he never thought he would be tackling a gunman.

📝 🛢 📈 Oil prices will rise to at least $140 per barrel by June if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened by July, and will not return to pre-Iran War levels before 2028 even in a best-case scenario, predicts Goldman Sachs. It warns of price surges and major economic impacts.
The Iran War is predicted by Goldman to permanently add at least $9 to the cost of a barrel of oil – equivalent to an extra 20 cents per gallon for gasoline in the US, or 5 cents/pence per litre for petrol in the EU and UK. This is forecast to persist for years.
Goldman warns that the full economic impact is likely underappreciated given refined product shortages, record inventory draws, and the potential for non-linear price responses. It notes a record gap between crude and fuel prices, highlighting the likely economic pain.
It forecasts a large amount of demand destruction, particularly in the regions most exposed – the Middle East, South Korea, Japan, and Africa – but warns that even sharper ...
✈️ 🇪🇺 🛢 As airlines ground planes and officials urge citizens to cut back on their commutes, Europe’s effort to prevent shortages caused by the Iran war is running into an unexpected hitch:
Europe doesn’t know how much fuel it has
The scramble comes as the war in Iran drives up Europe’s fossil fuel bill and threatens to choke off supplies moving through the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for oil and gas. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday that the conflict is costing the EU nearly €500 million a day in higher energy costs, even as U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered his aides to prepare for a prolonged blockade of Iran that could further disrupt global energy markets.
“In Europe, we have visibility and commitments into May and June … what happens beyond is hard to forecast,” Tobias Meyer, chief executive of DHL Group, said during a press breakfast attended by POLITICO earlier this month. “There are strategic reserves, but ...
🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Iran expects the U.S. to attack it soon — Fars News Agency
Deputy Inspector of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Jafar Asadi: A renewed conflict between Iran and the United States is likely, and evidence has shown that the U.S. does not adhere to any agreements.
The actions and statements of U.S. officials are mostly media-driven, primarily aimed at preventing a surge in oil prices and secondly to escape the predicament they themselves have created.
The armed forces are fully prepared for any new American adventurism and recklessness.
Not only the armed forces and the people, but also political groups that sometimes had disagreements, have now come to understand the importance of maintaining unity.
