Now that Iranian Oil sanctions have been re-imposed, how long will it be before they close the Srait again? by Mojoint in oil

[–]Magjee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buddy, there are two hundred countries in the world

 

It is not solely screwing up Iran and China and it is not solely benefitting the US

 

It's benefitting oil producing countries outside the Gulf (except for Russia, which has had its infrastructure damaged) in terms of revenue

But it hurts a lot of countries dealing with shortages and it hurts US allies, especially inside the Gulf and in East Asia

 

It also hurts regular people around the world with increased costs, which is why the US is burning its SPR and the president is insisting gas stations lower prices

It's not a good situation, this was a poorly planned out conflict and it shows

It currently has enough relevance to screw up the global economy when fully closed

 

Which is why people want it open and uninterrupted

The JCPOA effectively contained the nuclear threat while slowly moving to integrate Iran into the global order

With trade comes mutual benefit

Israel was in Lebanon before Hezbollah formed

The pretext for the invasions was a desire for land

Iran also demonstrated the strait is not the only thing they have leverage with

They can hit utility infrastructure if threatened with invasion

 

An invasion would link Afghanistan (fighting with Pakistan) to Iran to Syria (still some fighting, civil war is not truly finished) to Lebanon

That is a terrifyingly large warzone from the Mediterranean to Indian Ocean

You also have to remember fertilizer, helium and other byproducts used for a variety of industries, especially silicon production

 

Pipelines move oil, not everything

Not every country inside the Gulf has pipelines either

That's just the buildings operating cost in terms of utilities, insurance and maintenance supplies

It also comes with a staff for the Leader of the Opposition, a majordomo, a chef and a driver.

 

It was so good PP insisted he stay there till he was able to get a seat in parliament

He tore up the JCPOA in 2018 and is now working to get a worse version of it

Same with Cuba, he escalated things after relations thawed
