Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

Persian Gulf oil and gas infrastructure will be held responsible for Orange Man's next steps

not the ideal start to his week I think
If that does happen, the cost of energy in this country could easily double. Granted, we have a couple people here who don't care. The US is energy dominant. But I live in a place called Realville and it will not be good politically.
 
Israel's response will be significant, unfortunately

but that will give Iran permission to expand the attack to Tel Aviv

and this time Iran will be prepared defensively and cannot be caught by surprise since it resumed the war on its own terms
Potentially a one-off response like they did with Yemen. I don't think Trump would give a greenlight to something more extensive at this stage.
 
Oil trading open in about 2.5 hours...6pm EST. It will be interesting to see what the markets think of this. Iranians are definitely trying to up the pressure on Trump/Netanyahu via energy.

Hostilities were going to commence by US and Israel after July 4th celebration seems like IRGC said F-it lets do it now before they get to hit us and at the same time mess up Orangeman's plans for no hostilities during World Cup and 4th July.

That or the reports regarding Israeli espionage within the US.
 
I think it's about wrestling the initiative away from Israel/US and making matters difficult again, politically and economically. It's a gamble no doubt.
But I don't think it's a true gamble on Iran's part IF Iran has the stamina to continue fighting for some more months and US and Israel dont.

Attacking Iran weakly and insufficiently have let the Persian genie out the bottle, and it'll do damage, because Iran knows US and Israel have lost deterence (and the image of it)against it.
 
The US is energy dominant.

It still imports from Canada and Mexico and Venezuela. And “energy dominant” doesn’t mean “low prices” when supply and demand shifts. The oil fields are not nationalized they are in hands of publically traded oil companies who will sell at whatever the market rate is.

The only thing that the U.S. government can do is suspend the gas tax (minor relief) and ban oil exports which would send shockwaves around the worlds and signal “hoarding” is okay.

As I said before, Trump will be forced to sign a deal he doesn’t like once the water in the pot reaches a boiling point. So far the release of Western oil reserves has kept oil ~$100 and gas somewhat manageable ($4/gallon) but that won’t last forever.

BY end of June things will start being felt and by August it could be systemic. This is without any attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure or the Arabs. Just the normal status quo.

Good thing I filled up Friday I still had more than a quarter of fuel in the tank and it cost $50 top off.
