Whose oil and gas sails through the Strait of Hormuz?
β’ Most exports from Saudi, Iraq, UAE, Iran, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar
Where does it go?
β’ Majority China and India
For what?
β’ Refined products & fertilizers.
But its not just about physical flows of hydrocarbons but impact on financial markets
There will dead Iranians, dead Israelis and dead Americans by the end of the day. What do you expect each of these rational men - Trump, Netanyahu, Khamenei - with enraged publics and radicalised regimes will then do?
Itβs an inherently escalatory dynamic.

Iran is now in game of pain tolerance with Trump
Expect Iran to target oil infrastructure across Gulf Kingdoms.

Itβs raining oil after the refineries were hit in Iran.
I say Trump is a clairvoyantβ¦.
Heβs pursuing genocide.
My friends outside the US - please take a look at this and download the information. Given our current administration, we probably could use someone else to hold onto this data.
So Lindsey went to Israel several times to coach Bibi in how to talk Trump into this war.
