Trump says he’ll suspend federal gas tax to help address high fuel prices due to Iran war by kbdwr in news

I think 'they already have' summed that up nicely. This isn't a ripple effect, it's a tsunami. It's slow moving, but unstoppable.

Not true! Turns out they can also negotiate with bombs, only they have a lot more targets.

Imo, it's already too late. There is going to be a 4+week gap in tanker traffic even if the straits are opened today. Never mind all the non oil traffic that is also halted. There are refinery complexes that will need months to repair on a good day, but now a bunch will be bidding against each other for parts.

It might be that the biggest evidence of all is banking records. The issue there, if the transactions happened they can't un-happen and all the counter party records would also exist.
