boosted#Trump threatens to #bomb #US #ally #Oman as #Iran agreement expires
Trump threatened today to attack Oman if it interferes with US efforts in the #StraitOfHormuz, as the conflict with Iran continues & a 2-month window for peace talks expires without a path to end the war.
“If Oman gets in the way, we’ll bomb the shit out of them,” Trump said vulgarly in an interview with FauxNews.

#CIA had ‘low confidence’ in #Iran threat before #Trump switched planes in Turkey
#US #intelligence officials were skeptical of an Iranian assassination threat against Trump that was relayed by #Israel & prompted an extraordinary clandestine maneuver that saw him secretly fly out of Turkey in an alternate military aircraft, current & former US officials familiar with the intelligence said.

#TrumpsWar against #Iran has depleted #US weapons stockpiles to troubling levels, siphoning supplies from Asia & Europe…
The rapidly shrinking supply of air-defense missiles & other critical weaponry in Europe & Asia not only leaves the US #military less equipped, but could also leave #Russia & #China feeling emboldened should they contemplate a conflict with the US, experts said.

Iran gains, rivals alarmed
Across the Middle East — from #Israel to #GulfStates & factions in #Lebanon — it looks more like the curse of the century: an accord that could leave Iran more secure, more legitimate & ultimately more influential.

boostedIsraeli analyst Danny Citrinowicz described the agreement as a strategic "catastrophe". What had been framed as a joint #US – #Israel campaign to weaken, or even topple the Islamic Republic has, in his view, flipped into US recognition of #Iran.
"We went to topple the regime with US backing & ended with Washington effectively giving legitimacy & strengthening the same regime we wanted to bring down," said Citrinowicz, a snr Iran researcher at Israel's Institute for #NationalSecurity Studies.

In 1998, Stanley Meyer claimed to invent a car that ran on water. Days later, he was dead—and his invention disappeared. But Meyer wasn't the only one. There’s a federal law, still active today, that allows the U.S. government to classify and bury private inventions deemed a “threat.” It's called the Invention Secrecy Act—and it's already been used over 6,000 times.
From Nikola Tesla’s wireless energy to Townsend Brown’s anti-gravity tech to Joseph Papp’s engine that ran on noble gases, history is littered with breakthrough inventors who vanished into obscurity... and whose technologies never made it to the public.
This episode uncovers the case studies, the hidden power of secrecy orders, and the chilling question: What else have they buried?
