A few points. A global oil glut for over a year has largely prevented us from feeling the closure of the strait. But now that cushion is evaporating. Oil is different around the world. The oil needed depends on what you plan to do with it. e.g. produce plastics, motor oil, gasoline, ect. The explosion/fire at the diesel processing facility within the Valero plant (Port Arthur) has a bit to do with our rising diesel prices. But be aware there is a global shortage of diesel. In the national interest, the White House should have an export ban on crude oil, gasoline and diesel. Particularly diesel given the Valero plant is down and Chevron is threatening to close its refinery in California (Richmond and El Segundo) due to costly CARB regulations. Tankers that were carrying diesel from the US to Europe have switched course in the Atlantic, another sign of the global tug-of-war for increasingly tight fuels as the Iran war disrupts supply chains. The Aliai and Minerva Vaso, previously headed to Amsterdam, are now delivering to Durban. The Grand Ace6, previously headed to Gibralter, is now delivering to Togo.

Wow.....dueling ? .

Note Pence's comment at 7:00 This wasn't a moment where America went and started a war. This war started 47 years ago when the Iranian regime took Americans hostage and held them for more than 400 days. Three years after that, with their allies and Hezbollah, they murdered 220 Marines, 20 more service members in the attack on the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut. This isn't about starting a war, it's about finishing a war that's nearly 50 years in the making. I think you frame it that way. I think the American people will understand that if we see this through, we're not only we're not only going to defeat an enemy that we've been fighting with for decades, but the world's going to have an opportunity for greater peace and prosperity than ever before in that region and beyond. .

Have a great day, my friend.

It worked extremely well until a radical faction made a power grab. From 1953 to 1979, it obviously did work extremely well.

Actually, this was one regime change that worked out extremely well.

As soon as the remaining 52 American diplomats kidnapped from our Tehran embassy (U.S. soil), taken hostage in November 1979, were recovered in January 1981, the U.S. should have carpet-bombed their oil and gas infrastructure, military assets and leadership. But Reagan and and every president since until President Trump failed to seek revenge for Iran's hideous 1979 action. Obama and Biden went the other way and gave them money, an appalling and unthinkable act indeed. When Iran preaches "Death to America" for decades, any ordinarily prudent American understands what needs to be done. Compared to wars of old, this won't last long. It is challenging for me to believe that Mossad doesn't have an extensive network of operatives in Iran that can provide effective intelligence.

Britain had been humiliated. What was for centuries the greatest naval nation on earth is now unable, for up to a fortnight, to send a Type 45 destroyer to Cyprus to defend - and remember this - British sovereign territory, with hundreds of hundreds of British people there working and their families. So we've managed to upset the Cypriots, we've managed to upset the Americans, we've managed to upset the UAE, Bahrain and all the other Gulf states that are on our side. And now even Spain, who said they'd have nothing to do with anything, have this morning sent a destroyer to help defend Cyprus and help defend our base. So we're being defended by the Spanish, defended by the French, defended by the Greeks and incapable of defending ourselves.
