UPDATED WITH SNAP ANALYSIS 6:48 PM EDT -- TRUMP NOTIFIES CONGRESS OF NEW WAR AGAINST IRAN

Source: Hal Turner

---

President Donald J. Trump quietly just sent formal, written, official, notification to the United States Congress that US Troops are again engaged in Combat Operations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.   This is official word that full scale hostilities are resuming.

Expect MASSIVE U.S. attacks against Iran starting tonight and likely continuing into tomorrow.

The President sent this letter on Friday, July 10 and referenced the restart of hostilities on July 7.   NOT ONE media outlet in the United States, covered this.

Congress CONCEALED IT over the weekend, and did not release the copy of the letter until 5:00 PM today, July 13.

Here is the President's Letter:

More as I digest this . . . . check back in awhile.

HAL TURNER SNAP ANALYSIS

When written notification is sent to Congress that US Armed Forces are engaged in military activities somewhere, it is USUALLY  disaster-in-the-making.   I think that's the case here.

I have a feeling . . . . just a FEELING . . . . that we are about to see what the President talked about several times over the past few weeks: Civilizational Ending in Iran.

I have this sick feeling in the pit of my gut telling me we're about to hit their infrastructure: Oil, Electrical, Bridges . . .  the whole shebang.

Remember, Trump said just days ago, we could do such things "in one afternoon."

I think that's what's coming.

For a few minutes this past weekend, I really thought things were cooling down.   We removed Tanker aircraft from Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.  We removed F-22 Fighter Jets.  We removed B-52's.    To me, these were all signs that things would be getting better.

This afternoon, I saw video of F-22's taking off from RAF Fairford in the UK.   No word on whether they were heading back to the USA or not.   Now, I suspect they're on their way back to Iran.

Hours earlier, the President posted to social media, an image at sunset of a B-2 Stealth Bomber, and a B-1b Strategic Bomber in the sky over the Washington Monument.  The sky was red as sometimes happens at sunset.    NOW, I think it was a message about what's coming to Iran.

Look, this is simple: We all want AND NEED the Strait of Hormuz to be open, and oil flowing out of it every single day.   We HAD THAT before the Genetic lame-brains in that wretched country, Israel, perpetrated their second SNEAK ATTACK against Iran back on February 28.

That second attack resulted in Iran closing the Strait.  The exact thing that NOBODY wanted to have happen!

In the ensuing time, every country in the world has had to draw-down on its national oil reserves to keep their economy operating.   Some countries were hit faster than others.  Some countries were hit harder than others.   In some places, Rationing had to be implemented.

Here in the United States, we have been drawing-down on our Strategic Petroleum Reserve.   On June 17, President Trump, speaking at the G-7 Summit in France, said our reserves would "run out in about four weeks." (Source)   Look at your calendar.  What's today's date?  July 13.    Do the calendar math.  We are out of time.

When the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on June 17, a lot of us breathed a sigh of relief that maybe things could start getting back to normal.  Clearly, breathing a sigh of relief was wishful thinking on my part.

Instead of the US abiding by the plain language of the MoU we signed, we tried to pull a fast-one: We tried to escort ships out of the Strait of Hormuz ON THE OMAN SIDE of the Strait.  The Iranians told us and everyone else, the MoU stipulated that Iran would control the ship traffic through the strait.  hen they were ignored, they fired upon the ignoring vessel.

The US called this is "Violation of the MoU."   The US then struck Iran . . .  which the MoU forbid.

This situation repeated itself and the US struck Iran again, imposed more sanctions - in violation of the MoU and now the President has told Congress it's all Iran's fault.

So here we are, by the President's own admission on June 17 that we would run out in about four weeks, and instead of things heading back to normal, hostilities have erupted again.

Here's where YOU and I get screwed so badly, I can't even describe it.

The price for a barrel of oil was down to around $60 last week.   It has jumped today as follows:

I expect oil to DOUBLE what you see above . . .  and get there, fast.

As the rest of the world begins running out entire countries will find themselves like Cuba - which only has enough fuel to provide two to three hours of electricity per day.

I don't see that happening here because we have so much of our own.   But I do expect to see outages in availability of gasoline and worse, of Diesel fuel.

This nation runs on Diesel Fuel.  All the trucks and trains run on it.   As prices for it go up, everything hauled by those methods, will necessarily increase in price because the items being transported HAVE TO pay for the fuel to transport them.

Prices on  E V E R Y T H I N G are going to increase.  Dramatically.

I suspect it will rapidly come to a point where people simply cannot afford things.  Things like . . . .  food.

None of us have any idea how that's going to manifest itself in the days and weeks ahead.

if hostilities resume with Iran, as the President's letter to Congress seems to indicate, the Strait of Hormuz is NOT going to re-open.

Everything gets worse, day-by-day.  There's no avoiding it.

I earnestly hope you have extra food at home.  For when it gets so expensive, you can't afford to buy any.

I earnestly hope you have spare fuel in gas cans, stored safely and lawfully to try to get you through a time when you simply can't afford it.

I've been sounding this alarm for months.   Our time is now up.

I'm pretty sure the President will deliver the bad news, this Thursday at 9:00 PM EDT:

7:05 PM EDT -- CONFIRMED: ATTACKING TONIGHT

President Trump just DESTROYED Operational Security and announced to the media "we will attack them tonight."

7:33 PM EDT -- ATTACKS AGAINST IRAN ALREADY UNDERWAY
