Trump Issues “Deal or Bomb” Ultimatum to Iran
WANA (May 06) – U.S. President Donald J. Trump has issued a new ultimatum to Tehran, linking the end of the U.S. naval blockade to a controversial “one-page” deal that Iranian officials have already dismissed as psychological warfare.
In a post on Truth Social, President Trump addressed the military operation known as “Epic Fury” and the current maritime standoff:
“Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to, which is, perhaps, a big assumption, the already legendary Epic Fury will be at an end, and the highly effective Blockade will allow the Hormuz Strait to be OPEN TO ALL, including Iran. If they don’t agree, the bombing starts, and it will be, sadly, at a much higher level and intensity than it was before.”

Fujairah Falls Quiet: Sharp Drop in Oil Tanker Traffic After Suspected Explosions
WANA (May 06) – Newly released satellite images indicate a disruption in oil export operations at the UAE’s Port of Fujairah, following reports of unidentified projectile impacts and recent security incidents in the area.
Maritime tracking data shows that only two oil tankers are currently present near the port, with just one Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) observed docked at the terminal. This marks a significant decline compared to the port’s normal activity, as Fujairah is considered one of the region’s key oil export hubs.
Preliminary estimates suggest that if the situation persists, the UAE could face another drop in crude oil exports next month, adding further strain to its supply capacity.
