Dow drops 1,000 points As Oil Prices Climb More

[sealybobo]

University of Michigan professor Justin Wolfers also warned about the rise in uncertainty — and suggested the biggest economic impact may not be felt in the United States.
“I’m worried: The U.S. is less oil-dependent than our peers, and so Wall Street has responded far less to the war in Iran than financial markets abroad,” he wrote on X. “When the country calling the shots feels only a small share of the pain, that’s a dangerous asymmetry.”

Translation: the professor is a lib who wants America to be hurt by high oil prices

Just remember if Biden or Kamala were president and we were in this mess you would not trust their judgement. Many, MANY Republicans are hoping this Iran thing doesn't blow up in their faces. The midterms are coming up and it's not looking good for them but can they turn on Trump and stand up to him? They might come closer to November. $1 billion a day in Iran without a plan?

No one is cheering bad news. He told you if Hillary won WW3 would happen. We told you if he won WW3 would happen. Looks like we were right. We told you he's unhinged, an idiot. Pete Hegseth.

Right now we are crossing our fingers and assuming the worse because they don't know what they are doing. Turns out. You didn't learn your lesson on Bush. Hillary voted for it. Isn't that what you said?

You also tried to get Bill to Invade Iraq. He was too smart for that.

In 2011, Donald Trump released a video—which was later deleted but resurfaced multiple times—predicting that President Barack Obama would start a war with Iran because he was "weak and ineffective" at negotiations.

If the Strait stays closed it will be much worse than that. Production is shutting down in most of the ME because they can't ship the oil and have hit storage capacity limits.

It always comes back to how vivid leftists imaginations are, always imagining horrible things happening.....yet it never seems to ever happen.

OBama sent them cash....Trump sent them bombs and missiles.

OBama sent them cash....

The World Court ordered the return of Iran's own money.
You should know this.
You probably do know this, but saying "Obama sent them cash" sounds so much better to feed your agenda.

1. The background (1970s arms deal)​

In the 1970s, Iran (under the Shah) paid the U.S. $400 million for military equipment.
Then the Iranian Revolution happened, the Shah was overthrown, and the U.S. canceled the weapons sale.

• The U.S. kept the $400 million that Iran had already paid.
• Iran sued the U.S. in an international court (the Iran–U.S. Claims Tribunal in The Hague) to recover the money plus interest.

This dispute went on for decades.

---

2. The 2016 settlement​

In January 2016, during the Obama administration, the U.S. agreed to settle the dispute.

Total settlement: $1.7 billion

Breakdown:

• $400 million — the original payment from the 1970s
• $1.3 billion — negotiated interest

Officials said settling the case avoided the risk of Iran winning much more (potentially billions) in court.
