The world just... switched suppliers? Like changing your internet provider?

Iran played its biggest card and the main result is that the United States became the world's emergency gas station and China's cheap energy subsidy evaporated.



That's how gas prices go up for U.S. consumers because Trump got the Straight of Hormuz shut. Domestic oil producers will gladly send oil to Asia for a higher price. U.S. consumers will have to compete on price globally. RIP CPI. Sadly most MAGA don't understand how markets work. They only know what Trump tells them.


Sadly, this has repeatedly been the case on Bearinsider.

MAGA posters having little knowledge on how the markets work, talking about things that they know nothing about because they came across a ridiculous tweet on the internet thinking that it shows off Trump's "genius".

As you point out, our domestic producers are sending oil to Asia for a higher price.
Thus, sending our prices higher.

Never mind that fact that Iran has so much oil floating around on the oceans of the world (outside of the Straight) that their biggest customer, China will be amply supplied thru July.

Meanwhile, American's will continue to see more and more of their income devoted to higher fuel and food prices.

And people still think that Trump is playing 3D chess.
Hilarious!

He should keep milking it for war-ends. It's similar to trapping a turtle against the stairs in Super Mario Bros.

" Upcoming negotiations will fail if we don't restrain the Israelis & stop giving them access to our decision making.

The Israelis push for zero uranium enrichment because they know it's a poison pill for Iran & will result in the war continuing.

Iran has committed to not developing or obtaining a nuclear weapon since 2003.

A deal can be reached about uranium enrichment lvls & monitoring - ending the war & opening the SOH.

This can only happen if we treat the Israelis like the junior partner & put our interests 1st."

Yet, Iran has been enriching uranium to 60%+ for years, in violation of international agreements, with the sole purpose of enriching towards nuclear weapon levels.

Maybe Joe Kent doesn't understand the religious fanaticism of the Iranian leadership you rightly mentioned.

Iran will not stop at obtaining nuclear weapons in the same way North Korea didn't no matter how dire the situation is for their people.

Iran is right to want nuclear weapons. It's the best deterrent to keeping the U.S. from bombing them.

They abided by the JCPOA, until Adelson and co told Trump to scrap it.

If Iran has been working on enriching uranium since the mid 1960s and still haven't achieved a sufficient concentration, I'd say their progress is so slow that we don't have much to worry about for the next few decades.

Not since the 60's. You pulled that decade out of the air. It is incredibly fast to get from 60% to 90%. Iran is the only country in the world without a nuclear weapon that enriches to 60%.

I'll fess up on that one. I saw "60%+ for years" and went "Oh, that's 60+ years." My bad.

Yeah, if some other countries had some bad-ass weapon, I'd want us to have it, too. Why should Iran be any different?

Attention world: There is a rogue nation out there with tons of nukes! It's that country between Canada and Mexico.

There are a lot of things going on these days. Trump also converted atheist left-wingers into offended Christians.

Sometimes it's not the message, it's the messenger. You guys are working hard to boost each others star counts as if that is something meaningful. I see no need to help you guys game the system.
