Oil prices climb after Trump threatens Iran over Strait of Hormuz

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Oil prices pushed higher Sunday after President Donald Trump threatened to strike Iranian energy facilities if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. Brent crude, the global benchmark, rose 1.4% to $110.60. US crude rose 1.8% to $113.60.

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH!” Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday morning.

A senior Iranian official responded Sunday that the strait won’t be reopened until the country is “fully compensated” for war damages.

Trump had issued a similar two-day ultimatum to Iran on March 21, only to extend the deadline to April 6. The threat is a stark contrast to Trump’s claims last week that the US did not need the Strait of Hormuz.’

This is madness.

Americans continue to suffer the consequence of high gas prices.

Trump clearly has no idea what he’s doing; further proof Trump is unfit to be president.

Good!
Maybe Democrats will finally learn the cost of irresponsible policies that Republicans have to fix once they get back in power.
The damage done by Democrats is massive and costly to fix.
Imagine if the RIGHT did nothing and Iran made mini nukes and supplied them to border crossing sleeper cells entering America.
What cost (if any) is too high for you Leftists?

Enjoy your DEMOCRAT HIGH FUEL PRICES

You'll be just fine, Clayton.

Algorithms don't even need gas.

Actually, I know it's the Swamp, occupied by BOTH sides....but the Left is way more adamant about destroying America

True.
They never learn. Can't learn.
The CEO of Starbucks is fleeing Washington state because of taxes on the rich. Guess where he's going? FLORIDA!!
Where no doubt he'll fully fund every DEI and anti American Florida politician with a pulse.

Brent Crude is down slightly from it's weekend high.
WTI is up slightly.

Those are the two that most US gasoline is made from so it's a wash.
