Quite a bit has been going on, Kuwaiti air defence shot down
some US planes accidentally but I think all the pilots ejected
safely, lots of places are being targeted by Iran as US and
Israeli forces continue strikes, and the last thing I saw was a
report that 2 drones had hit the US embassy in Riyadh. I didn't
fill up when gas was 102.9 last week, and now it's 114.9 and I
need gas. I blame this war.

Trump not concerned whether Iran becomes a democratic state and
is seeking leadership that will treat the US and Israel and
middle east allies well.
UN Secretary General warns war could spiral beyond anyone's
control.
Trump will not make any deal without unconditional surrender by
Iran.
Iranian President and Russian President spoke today and agreed
to remain in contact.
Looks like Russia is providing Iran with intelligence about the
locations and movements of American troops, ships and aircraft
but Trump deflected when asked.
Defence companies met with the White House today and apparently
agreed to quadruple production of some weapons.
Oil prices at their highest since October 2023.
Parts of BC are seeing diesel over $2/liter.

Seems the Israel strikes on fuel depots in Iran went beyond what
the US expected which has led to a significant disagreement
between the 2 countries.

oil. He doesn't want to burn it. And it reminds people of higher
gas prices," a Trump adviser told Axios."
