The US assets rotate in high seas... it is a blue-water navy! So, eventhough US will most likely lose bases in the Gulf because of their proximity to Iran and Its highly effective missile program. Iranians will however remain under the US maritime regime. Hence the blockade of the blockade. The problem for US however is that even returning to the gulf doesn't translate into credible security for its assets. That is in spite of the preclusions devising policies which "hope" to collapse the state from inside. Iranians are resilient and all I'm saying is that they need a more long-term solution.
The effects that I implied are not the expense of gas or overall inflation and pain. I was talking about actual shortages of fuel at the pump. The cost however is unbearable because an average American paycheck already is stretched to the max as it is... therefore the pain is immediate. And lastly I don't think orange cares much at this point of midterms... where you'll start seeing the Republican candidates will start actively distancing themselves from his positions while allowing him to finish his agenda. That is the inherent trap of the system that the pendulum keeps swinging... bringing the same back once it reaches its max at the other end.
Europe will be a beneficiary once it finds its feet. US took out economic lifeline of Germany by destroying the infrastructure... and now they find themselves at the precipice... where they can't access both proximate sources of energy and instead have to buy American.
The euroasian connectivity once done will create conditions to absorb European markets in a more wholesome manner.
