Should the US blockade be suspended before Iran's nuclear program is addressed?

Loading ...Good article. I hope that North is right. If he is then Iran would only have a few weeks more. The Iranians close the strait but when we do it they call us “pirates” LOL
Glad that the Chinese and Russians have been restrained. It could have been a lot different!
Perhaps further selling after profit taking from the other day other longs see their profits shrinking from the other day or trailing stop loss, as long as it didn’t signal normal stops to speed up selling and the candle doesn’t show that so far. Then at some point buying starts again. That’s just what the candle says now and why day trading can be a pain. I just changed my mind once on Schwab both and sold the same day and got a notice from them. Day traders must have some arrangement.
Re Hungary….someone is going to be disappointed…apparently as Maygar’s party was brand new, it didn’t qualify for state aid….. so the EU financed him….how that is legal only the EU could answer …..The EU is ecstatic…..but as u say he told the Hungarian people a very different story …..I suspect he has zero morals or principles, ie a classic new politician.
There are some very nasty rumours about him and his first wife…..
The way things are shaping in the ME, once the regime in Iran are dealt with, we may well see some serious peace like the Saudi’s joining the Abraham Accords…..it sure looks like Iran has pissed everyone off, to the extent that long simmering hatreds are surfacing…in that Iran has run the place via its proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah etc, and as they governed by pure fear, needless to say other countries hated that…..now the fear is lifting, those old hatreds have joined the new ones and most see the problem they all have, is the Mad Mullahs in Iran.
I ‘m thinking the blockade was a a part of the plan all along…destroy their military, so they can’t attack the Blockade and wait..an old fashioned siege …except there are already 80 million people inside the siege that hate yr guts and can’t wait to butcher you.
I agree re Ukraine and Russia…I think Trump will throw Zelensky under a bus…if for nothing else but to piss the Globalists off.
I take what’s happening to Hungary personal even though I had a English grandmother and the other from Ireland ancestors from all over Europe, my great Aunt was my God mother. They battled and survived the Ottoman empire to the death multi times and worse from Asia. My great grandmother who made that dress and hat my Aunt was wearing her husband a German American and ally had made a portrait could see what was happening in Europe before In WWI and could see socialism spreading and she convinced her husband to get them out. We know the saying of trading your freedom for security you will deserve neither. They lie and tell them what they want to hear just to get in then the liars in the background take over. There the ones that need to be dismantled.

Could be wrong, but I have to believe that George Soros and his son, are the puppet masters of what happens in that country…….they finally got Orban out of the way, and will fully implement the Globalist’s goals, no matter what this new guy spews out of his mouth…
Write down the date and time he said this. That will be the first whopper of a lie he tells the Hungarian people. The second one will be when he tells them the invaders aren’t responsible for most of the crime and rape, the white people are.
“Magyar has stated that he will not try to block a €90 billion EU loan to Ukraine which Orbán originally vetoed, but he also stated that Hungary will not be contributing to such loans and that the government will not support any attempt to induct Ukraine into the EU. He also announced this week that he will not allow Hungary to join in the EU’s “Migration Pact” and that he plans to further strengthen Hungary’s borders.”
Although there may not be any gains left by the time the SM opens, we’ve already lost more than half of the overnight gains.
That’s a good article from Brandon Smith on ZH about the blockade and clearly it is working to put an end to this war. He’s also right about the globalist response. I don’t see how NATO survives this, they are no longer allies. The sad part is that with few exceptions, the native populations of the European countries seem willing to accept Chrislam and the globalist world order. Witness what happened in Hungary, they just voted for their own demise.
Trump should seek ties with Russia when this ends and throw Ukraine under the bus. Without pressure from NATO, there’s no reason to be at odds with the last remaining mostly white Christian nation.
Trump also needs to make it clear to Israel we will not support any of their further conquests of land as they are currently doing in Lebanon. However, I don’t believe he’s strong enough to do that. That’s the way forward to peace for awhile when Iran is done. We’ll see.
This makes a deal of sense.

I think I found the confusion.
I went to Grok to question their findings.
This is what may have caused the rumor to start.
What likely caused the confusion:
Silver markets have seen volatility in 2026 due to structural deficits, industrial demand, geopolitical factors, and China-specific issues (e.g., export licensing requirements starting January 2026 and physical inventory pressures at SHFE). However, futures trading on SHFE has continued, with occasional targeted interventions rather than outright stops.
If new official notices emerge, they would appear first on shfe.com.cn. For real-time confirmation, check SHFE directly or reputable financial wires rather than unverified social media or video claims. Silver prices were actively quoted around $79–80/oz in mid-April 2026 contexts, consistent with ongoing global and Chinese trading.
I asked again and got about the same.
Yeah premiums are to high already. With increasing shortages it probably could get worse. Provident sent me a message a few days ago on a special lol on Cull silver eagles at spot price of the first 10 eagles. I guess it was a one day thing.
The AI info I got a couple of times said effective Thursday ” tomorrow” morning. I asked for time after seeing your post just now and it said 9:30 am. “Thursday” I don’t know what time early trading opens in China. I don’t have a clear message on their time either because it could change by hours.
It’s good to be careful and not do anything you wouldn’t ordinary do when there is no verification, especially in stocks and just watch out.
There has been no announcement of a halt to trading on the SHFE. Grok sites the sources as YouTube but nothing official has been released on the SHFE website or through mainstream sources such as Reuters. I guess we’ll have an idea if they give us an am fix on the exchange tomorrow. But for now, Grok calls B.S. on AG.
He said Shanghai is now shut down and Crimex is the only game in town for price discovery. They should be able to get paper silver down to $40 within a couple weeks.
Don’t bet against the criminals.
BTW – just looked at eagles and maples, the premiums are already between $12-$14. Ridiculous. Even more ridiculous is that they are paying $2-$4 under spot.
I listened to some of this video from our brothers site and Asian guy has the numbers for big money industrial demand. The rest I figured would happen but wasn’t thinking big enough, ” big money.” the elephants in the room. Well have to see.
They think they can hold the silver price down by halting silver stocks that are made in paper trades? So what, they go buy the silver instead contributing to the supply shortage? Lol
China is the main reason behind the silver pullback. It can’t do anything about the demand so is trying to manage, slow the parabolic.

As of April 15, 2026, reports indicate that the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) has halted silver trading, effective Thursday morning, amid extreme volatility and a narrowing supply. This follows a series of regulatory interventions in early 2026, including the suspension of China’s only pure-play silver fund in January and February to curb excessive speculation, high premiums, and to protect investors.
