(14 June 2026) It is now 9 pm MST June 14, or, 3 AM GMT, June 15. We have been watching world and Mideast events, waiting for escalation of what looks to be the Second Signpost. It started with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz back on March 2nd, and may culminate—in one way or another—with a full boot-on-the-ground invasion by Iran of much of the Middle East.
The Strait has now been closed to normal traffic for 106 days.
The idea of the Second Signpost having started March 2 (with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz) is still in play. And it will remain in play and then either be disproved when the regime is completely disbanded, or will be confirmed when the Ram runs out across the Middle East.
Peace Deal to be Signed
Two reports—one from Newsmax, and one from ZeroHedge—state that this new peace deal with Iran is to be signed in Switzerland on Friday, June 19.
Upon signing, the Strait of Hormuz is to be opened. As the ZeroHedge article states, the global oil reserves are close to being depleted and will take many months, and even quarters, to start to refill those reserves. We will check marinetraffic.com this weekend to see if traffic picks up through the Strait.
Major points of the deal (an MoU, Memorandum of Understanding) include relaxing sanctions on Iran’s oil, termination of military operations everywhere, and Iran diluting its enriched uranium.
Conclusions
The situation is far from settled. A dozen or so different paths lay before the world.
Don’t forget most oil inventories are almost depleted. The oil inventories will not rebuild, or only very slowly, much longer than it took to almost deplete them.
Iran or Israel could attack the other, restarting the war in the days before September.
There might not even be a deal, but this may all be Trump’s bluster. We will see.
The IRGC may be quietly rebuilding until September, starting the Second Signpost in earnest. In this case we have the summer—two-and-one-half months to prepare. I say September for the simple reason that invasions on the ground will not occur in the extreme heat of Mideast summers.
And don’t forget the global famine is baked in, ready to take root this coming winter.
Personally, I am assuming the war will restart in the days or months ahead. I am not stopping in preparations and in spreading the message of the Signposts.
When the war restarts it could be in the worst possible way which would include destruction of the Arab oil facilities.
In the meantime, there is always the Russia-Ukraine War, ready to occupy US military forces.
Keep watch.

THE FOUR SIGNPOSTS

“In the meantime, there is always the Russia-Ukraine War, ready to occupy US military forces.”
Occupy them how? Trump has repeatedly said he wants no part of the Russo-Ukrainian War. He doesn’t care about NATO, so even a foolish invasion of the Baltics by Russia probably wouldn’t get Trump to change his mind.
K,
Good and logical question.
Answer: There is always the danger, as long as that war continues, of sucking NATO and therefore the US into WW3 because some neocon or leftist or oligarch decided it was a good idea to cross the red line on either side that triggers nuclear war.
This game is far from over, I would expect with the oil reserves getting low, and the elections soon to be upon us, there will be pressure all around to keep Iran out of the headlines as much as possible. so I would think the next few months would be a quasi-peace, and also over the next few months Iran will gain in stature worldwide, sometimes we want prophecy to happen quickly but I think we have a few years left before we turn our attention to Turkey..
Mark,
Does Trump have any intention of upholding the agreements upon which NATO is contingent? It doesn’t sound like it. Neocons, leftists, and oligarchs each have their agendas with blinders that lead them into making poor decisions. Trump ran, in part, on criticizing and complaining about NATO.
K,
We will just have to wait and see as to how this all plays out. There are many variables, and we haven’t even mentioned China.
Mark,
Isn’t the biggest danger with China that they would rearm Iran? The Iranians already damaged one F-35 using techniques the Chinese helped them develop. Even if China does intend to invade Taiwan, they’d likely want to let the US military weaken itself against Iran first.
