Trump Stated 6 days ago "when the Iran war ends, Oil and gasoline prices will come crashing down!" One more lie, or simply misinformed incompetency?

[Man With A Plan]

Like, man, that is just your opinion, and it is all wrong.

You know what, Jackson? If you got your news from a place that gave it to you without blatant bias you might actually know things! Right now you're revealing yourself to be one of the more ignorant posters on this site.

 

[Man With A Plan]

You have the writing ability of less than that.

I've been writing my entire life, Sparky. You may disagree with what I'm saying...but when it comes to putting words on a page? It's what I do.

Here is the reality of the issue:

Even if the Iran war ended today, US fuel prices aren’t likely to normalize this year​

Sorry, US drivers, but don’t expect pump prices to return to prewar levels any time soon, even if the US and Iran agree to a lasting peace deal tomorrow.

As the war with Iran enters its third month, drivers have become infuriated by rising gas prices – and inflation – and Donald Trump is facing a historic backlash in the polls. The president promised recently that relief will be swift once the war ends. “I see it going down very substantially when this is over, I think very rapidly too, at levels that you’ve never seen,” he said.

Experts say it’s not that simple. As the saying goes, gas prices shoot up like a rocket and come down like a feather.

Should peace be declared, prices could fall on a kneejerk move, but it will take several months – maybe years – for prices to retreat to previous levels of about $3 a gallon nationally because checking potentially damaged energy infrastructure in the Middle East and unsnarling supply chains takes time, say energy experts.

Five reasons oil prices won't snap back from Iran war

Trump said they would even go lower than they were before (below $1.83) all of this started:



Is this a bald-faced lie or simply a lack of knowledge (incompetence)?

Trump's promise that we would have affordability this year, has gone out the window

So what do the terrorist Democrats have planned now to try and destroy the world?

I think it goes by the name of Plattner...

 

[Billy000]

Yes, spending money that they would otherwise have spent on exporting terrorism.

lol nothing will change on how Iran runs its government or its proxies. The desperate mental gymnastics you people do for your Orange Daddy is unreal. Can’t you level ANY criticism toward Trump on this?

They have lost weapons caches, weapons factories destroyed, ships sunk, planes destroyed, proxies killed.
Billions in oil revenues lost, oil fields damaged etc.
And you think it will be back to business as usual in a few days?

DURR

 

[Mac-7]

lol Armageddon. I get that you like to think any of
The billions of Muslims all around the world are just looking for reasons to blow anything up, but it doesn’t actually fit reality. The Iranian regime is perfectly happy just being fat cats who stay in power regardless of their citizens’ suffering

Not every muslim is a terrorist or jihadi

But enough are that you cant sweep the truth away under a flying carpet

That is still way beyond the point. You’re claiming Iran is suicidal and there is no good reason to believe that whatsoever

What does the Shia dictatorship exist for?

Its not for the health and well being of the iranian people

It exists for the same reason that terrorists strap bombs to their body knowing they will die in the explosion

I suppose you know about the Koran, 72 virgins for suicide bombers and bringing back the 12th Imam

They welcome Armeggedon

lol are you suggesting wealth and power are not good motivators to keep themselves in power? The country itself is their legacy. I also really don’t think jihad involves Armageddon anyway. Why would they get into heaven annihilating all Muslims in the process?

I hate to say this, but for once I agree with Mac-7.


AI Overview

Iran's ruling ideology is often described by geopolitical analysts as pursuing a "suicidal" or martyr-driven trajectory. This refers to the regime's uncompromising, survival-driven foreign policy that frequently risks catastrophic conflict rather than yielding to international pressure or changing its core principles.

However, this description can be broken down into distinct geopolitical and domestic contexts:

• Geopolitics & The Regime: The Islamic Republic's ideology is fundamentally rooted in Khomeinism, which emphasizes defiance against Western powers ("the Great Satan") and the global spread of the Islamic revolution. Analysts argue that its leaders operate on an irrational trajectory, rationalizing extreme, high-stakes provocations (asymmetric warfare and proxy conflicts) as necessary for regime survival, even at the cost of national devastation.
  
  
• The Iranian People: The actual populace of Iran largely rejects this ideology. In fact, reports indicate that the government’s oppressive rule and economic mismanagement have generated a tragic domestic crisis. Instead of state-sponsored martyrdom, the country faces a deeply concerning spike in suicide rates and clinical depression, driven by poverty, unemployment, and political repression.

Its icing on the cake

But not the ultimate driving force

You obviously know little about this subject

Russia was getting drones from Iran, where are they going to get weapons to give to Iran?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yes, Iran still has evil intentions.
Fewer weapons and less money.

Watch. You don't think we are short on munitions and gear as well. Europe will not resupply us.

You don’t actually understand what they want at all lol

Kill the infidels.
Starting with the Jews.
The US would be next on their list.
