<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Good morning, C&amp;C, it’s Thursday! A tsunami of under-reported news broke loose yesterday. The hot takes and fake narratives are spinning wildly. So this morning brings a special Iran War update edition. Your roundup includes: Iran’s civilian government is flickering out as the president tries to quit and the IRGC runs a war nobody can stop; seven insurance emails closed the Strait of Hormuz and Trump turned it into the most devastating NATO leverage play in alliance history; and Congress voted for the third time NOT to stop the war, which is starting to look a lot like authorization.</em></p>

Yesterday, Israel bombed what the Journal called Iran’s “crown jewel,” the South Pars Gas Field.</p>
