Seems like the US is definitely in the drivers seat and has a choke hold on Iran. Looks like The Donald had a plan after all…..

If by that you mean basically getting back to where we started? Maybe. Gas prices ain’t gonna come down though. 

Where we started:


Straight was open

Iran nuclear program decimated (according to the admin last June) unless they were lying?  They are definitely always lying.


So basically we spent billions just to raise our gas prices and do Israel’s bidding. And probably radicalized a bunch of Iranians against the US.  Yep great success.

Have we even spent one percent of what the blank checks that were sent to ukraine ended up being? The selective outrage today is ridiculous.

Actually yea. We are about 1/8 to a 1/4 of the way there in only 6 weeks depending on what numbers you look at. And American soldiers died and were injured. So there’s that too.

You’re saying gas prices will not come down correct?

You don’t engage and answer questions when you are asked, so I’m not gonna answer yours.

Look up the term "rocket and feather" pricing. It will explain why gas prices will not be going down very soon even if oil prices drop.

The next couple of days will be critical for Iran. Apparently they only have enough storage space for 3 days of production without loading tankers and shipping it off. They have no place to put the oil. We'll see what they do.

Soggy said they weren’t going to go down period…..nothing about not coming down soon. I think most realize it’s going to take a bit, but they will come down. At least I think they will.🤔

It’s a dilemma for sure. If they don’t say uncle I wouldn’t be surprised.

What's this thread about? Has Iran capitulated on something? What did I miss?

No capitulation. Just speculation at this point. It does appear that this is coming to an end though.

That would be very good if so. Not holding breaths though.

Israel has been fighting Hezbollah, they are not the state of Lebanon.
