“We have two major waterways obstructed, active attacks, Iran escalating attacks, proxies being active and no signs of diplomatic talks,” Ms. Bakr said. “It’s a disastrous situation when you’re looking at it from an energy security angle.”

It is hard to articulate how insanely stupid & destructive the war against Iran has been, but as one clear data point, there is no reason to assume the price of gas would have been anything other than flat had Trump not chosen to start his absurd war.

I was wondering why Trump refused to defend Saudi pipelines. Now it makes sense. Cause an oil shortage just in time for elections. Keep people away from the polls.

capitolhunters @capitolhunters.bsky.social · 2d

For people thinking, what's the big deal about the 4% cut in global oil production coming next week, that's the scale of the 1973 OPEC crisis and 1979 Iran war oil crisis. Each followed by a major recession.

Prices and supply are global. And global oil stocks are already gone. It's a calamity. 1/
