🚨🇺🇸🇧🇷 BREAKING: The US just suspended consular services at its embassy and every consulate in Brazil as the country heads into Sunday’s election
The mission’s security alert says nothing beyond “security concerns,” telling Americans to stay away from the embassy in Brasília and every consulate starting Friday and to call a duty officer if they have an emergency.
Washington doesn’t close every consular door in the biggest country in South America on a hunch, so whatever threat it’s seeing is specific.

🇸🇦 🇮🇷 Gulf states are exploring trade ties and backroom understandings with Iran to keep another war from starting.
Jim Hanson, the former Green Beret and security analyst, thinks that road can work as long as the hard security red lines hold firm, with economic links doing the work that more missiles haven’t.
The countries living within range of Iranian missiles have run the numbers, and they’re choosing to talk.
Washington should be paying attention to who is cutting deals in its own backyard.

Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Control of the Strait of Hormuz is the one thing Washington won’t trade away, and it’s sinking every round of talks.
Former Green Beret Jim Hanson says no American administration will let a hostile government keep its hand on the valve for a fifth of the world’s oil, and he expects the economic squeeze to bring Tehran around eventually.
That bet runs on patience, and patience gets paid for at American gas pumps every week the strait stays contested.
How long are voters willing to keep covering the bill?
