@unusual_whales Trump said the Navy cleared the mines. Allies are whispering: some of the 80–150 may still be out there. Hormuz is the oil tap Cleared and safe to sail are not the same sentence.

@unusual_whales Yea no kidding...

@unusual_whales Those allies know shit about it

@unusual_whales Obviously Trump is fucking lying. Why would we even debate that at this point.

About 20% of global oil crosses Hormuz daily. When allies warn it's still mined and Trump claims it's clear, that's not a partisan spat—it decides if tankers move or freeze. A single missed mine sends insurers hiking war-risk rates, ships rerouting, and Brent spiking overnight. Your gas price feels it in a week or two.

@unusual_whales Oil prices watching this closely.

@unusual_whales That uncertainty probably matters more than the statement itself. If ships and insurers still think the strait is risky, oil may keep reacting to that instead of the headline.

@unusual_whales This war is not ending anytime soon x.com/TheStockUp_/status/20926…

@unusual_whales It's not like re-mining is hard or something...you could do it from a row boat if you wanted to. Hell even disguise an oil tanker as a mine layer. Shame Iran never bothered to develop a way to deploy mines by ballistic missile.

@unusual_whales I mean, if something blows up will know pretty quickly

@unusual_whales BREAKING : you got the 'lie' part correct.

@unusual_whales That statement from Trump was always suspect

@unusual_whales Trump has claimed. Total control, infallible blockade, mines swept. No one believes any of it x.com/TheStockUp_/status/20926…

@unusual_whales A simple suggestion x.com/IhoPwaitress74/status/20…

@unusual_whales Wait a minute, Trump wouldn’t lie! That’s completely out of character for him

@unusual_whales As an unbiased Democrat, I’ve concluded that reality is whatever the anonymous sources need it to be today. Convenient. Per Bloomberg, perhaps.

@unusual_whales looks like T is telling the are all gone. Then ship goes kaboo and T goes oooopss we missed one or 100

@unusual_whales The Strait of Hormuz is too important for “trust me” to be a strategy. When the stakes are this high, verified facts matter more than confident claims—especially when one mistake could disrupt global energy markets.

@unusual_whales Market manipulation at its finest

@unusual_whales If Hormuz is still mined, energy premia stay in the tape even after the Navy headline. That is a flow input for oil, freight and the gold/BTC hedge bid.

@unusual_whales Hormuz risk premium gets awkward when the mines may still exist

@unusual_whales Allies. Lol.

@unusual_whales Why would anyone trust Trump to make a statement that's effectively a tactical in-theater observation of something that you can't possibly prove (you can't deterministically you've removed ALL mines from a body of water)?

@unusual_whales I recall a previous report stating that it would take Iran six months to fully clear the sea mines, yet Trump has now claimed that they have all been removed. Which account do you find more credible?

@unusual_whales As a US ally, I can tell you this is categorically false. And, you can quote me on this.

@unusual_whales Stand with your President, not TERRORISTS.

@unusual_whales Trump lies about everything. Everything.

@unusual_whales Who in their right mind is giving insurance for tankers for passage? Is the US guaranteeing passage? Is the US taxpayers on the hook every time one is hit?

@unusual_whales How can one believe anything that ancient windbag says? It’s wrong at every instance. He cannot leave the world alone soon enough. Ugh….

@unusual_whales That contradiction is pretty significant. If allies still believe the Strait may be mined, then “fully cleared” clearly isn’t the same thing as everyone being confident it’s safe.

@unusual_whales So no submarine drones? Fucking hell.

@unusual_whales Those obviously aren’t our allies now are they?

@unusual_whales 🤦

@unusual_whales Yea, it's smart not to trust 90% of what he says

@unusual_whales Many are saying it’s the most de-mined body of water in the whole world.

@unusual_whales Trump lies and everyone acts surprised 🤷‍♂️

@unusual_whales Trump never lies 😂😂

@unusual_whales Trumps a cuck

@unusual_whales That makes the real signal simpler: watch the ships, not the statements.

@unusual_whales No shit sherlock 🍊🥩🏒🤪

@unusual_whales You cannot believe anything on this platform

@unusual_whales If the Strait of Hormuz is still potentially mined, that’s a serious threat to global security and shipping. Claims about its safety need to be backed by solid intelligence and facts before anyone takes unnecessary risks.

@unusual_whales Saying the Strait of Hormuz is clear doesn't make it safe. Demining takes weeks of precise scanning. If allies and ship insurers still see danger, global shipping stays blocked—regardless of political statements. A single missed mine can sink a ship.

@unusual_whales How would the navy do that when it’s not safe for them to be there.

@unusual_whales Why privately?

@unusual_whales Which US ally or is it anonymous sources again?

@unusual_whales Us allies are calling Trump a liar. Noted.
