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.

We know that ain't gonna happen.

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.

 

[jknowgood]

Didn't hear Jones complaining then.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Democrats, including hypocritical OP, should be ecstatic since the previous two democrat administrations drove oil prices up by design.

We know that ain't gonna happen.

You can smell the Progressive Socialist shit pile already having the new ten quadrillion dollar green energy deal ready after the midterms along with all the other sordid gruesome flavors of the rainbow.

Aren't you among the people who cry about fossil fuels destroying the planet? Where's your electric car?

If all Conservatives ever do is tell the Left how stupid they are, then the Left will eventually prevail.

 

[LeftofLeft]

The difference is high gas prices under Trump are short-term growing pains as part of a long-term goal to mitigate risk of continuing to have the threat of a despotic theocracy in control of a key part of global oil distribution. Democrats like Obama, Harris and Biden push policies that result in the same level of prices because it is part of their long-term goal to restrict US Domestic oil companies making us more dependent on foreign oil.

These posts on the Boards from the Left calling out high oil prices under Trump are not because they are upset about high prices. It is moreso for the only thing they care about: getTrump.

So why is the left crying about the cost of gasoline when they are promoting electric cars?

It's a bank holiday over here -- something to do with Eggs -- so we had one of our TVs on News . Sky, as it happens .
Trumpfy was fielding questions .

I have to say that I suspect the man is stark insane .
He halted eight different wars and saved between 30-50 million lives .
He told us -- a few times .
Obviously believed it .

A very very dangerous individual .
I would not allow him to switch lights on and off if he came over here for a few days .

Truth. The lady who won the Nobel Peace Prize stated that it should have been given to President Trump. You're uninformed.
