The Duran: Episode 2533 The Iran US standoff is entering a critical phase as the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and global energy stockpiles approach dangerous lows, with industry analysts warning that June and July could mark the point of no return for oil prices worldwide. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down why the memorandum of understanding sits unsigned, how Trump's maximalist nuclear enrichment demands keep derailing any ceasefire extension, and whether Netanyahu's repeated assurances that Iran is on the verge of collapse are driving the White House toward a costly miscalculation. With Bessant managing the financial markets and the strategic petroleum reserves quietly depleting, the question is no longer if this pressure becomes unbearable but when. 00:00:00 Introduction: Iran US standoff overview 00:01:19 Pakistan as courier, not mediator 00:03:10 The memorandum of understanding explained 00:04:20 Trump backs off: Netanyahu and hardliner influence 00:05:19 Lebanon stalemate: Hezbollah and Israel 00:07:22 Trump's maximalist nuclear enrichment demands 00:09:20 Strait of Hormuz remains closed 00:10:23 June July tipping point: global energy shortage forecast 00:11:20 Can the US keep oil at $100 through winter? 00:12:58 Why oil never hit $150: stockpiles and market intervention 00:16:24 Strategic petroleum reserves and the dangerous game 00:18:23 Europe ignores its own energy crisis 00:20:42 Bessant managing markets: how long can it last? 00:23:01 Netanyahu's house of cards narrative about Iran 00:25:41 Parallels with Russia sanctions miscalculation 00:28:47 Iran's real leverage: the Strait and Gulf pressure 00:29:50 Closing remarks and channel links ***THE DURAN SHOP*** https://theduranshop.com ***REVERSE GEAR SHOP*** Athleisure with Style https://reversegear.shop/ ***THE DURAN COMMUNITY ON LOCALS*** https://theduran.locals.com Join Now Get 1 Month Free Trial ***OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS*** ALEXANDER: https://www.youtube.com/AlexanderMercourisReal ALEX: https://www.youtube.com/alexchristoforou ***CRYPTO SUPPORT*** BITCOIN: 3JvdnoyWMb93hSRgk58ZstUxg11PW9mKSr ETHEREUM: 0xF39BdFb41f639B82E3D2Bf022828bC6394F533A3 LTC: MGFiMC18ZViF6DcCixMqAAP11TG4tF6Acj EMC2: EXX4KK9pZLx7uiLWnCXtp7iMKjtq6o5b6R ***DONATE*** CREDIT CARD: https://donorbox.org/the-duran SUBSCRIBE STAR: https://subscribestar.com/theduran PATREON: https://patreon.com/theduran ***VIDEO*** RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/theduran ODYSEE: https://odysee.com/@theduran BITCHUTE: https://www.bitchute.com/theduran/ ***AUDIO*** SPOTIFY: https://spoti.fi/3pMrfPD APPLE PODCASTS: https://apple.co/2H9Hk0a SOUNDCLOUD: https://bit.ly/354ASQ9 ***FREE SPEECH*** TELEGRAM: https://t.me/thedurancom X (Twitter): https://x.com/TheDuranReal?s=20 GAB: https://gab.ai/TheDuran MINDS: https://minds.com/theduran Amazing music contribution from Peter Brown.

Please note, prices being quoted for oil are for oil futures, NOT spot price of oil which is already above 150. Supply side shock is not baked in, nothing can prevent it.

Knowing how life works, the shortages and prices will skyrocket just in the time of winter, when we are most frail to fight it.

At the Bernstein conference last Thursday, Chevron and Exxon stated that the oil pricing markets are disconnected from the severe ongoing rundown of global oil reserves. JP Morgan took the same view.

It is simply incredible to me that anyone can see the closure as unintentional. Once you see it as intentional the truly uncomfortable questions emerge.
