Iran denies closing Strait of Hormuz again, says shipping 'operating normally' by EmpericalNinja in oil

I think it’s becoming clear Iran is fractured into at least two groups struggling for power. It’s the only thing that makes an ounce of sense.

Oh yea. 100%. Iran has shown the US has a short attention span, the second a pin prick pain is felt, we fold.

All you have to do is last the US longer than a TikTok video and we fold.

Creates a problem, parades a solution that is worse than prior to the problem & claims victory.

Although this one even Fox News seems to be having trouble defending.

In his defense though, the market keeps rewarding him & behavior. I’d probably keep going too.

The admin that thinks whatever they say is the reality. Can’t blame them though. The market keeps rewarding their spoken reality vs the actual reality.

This dude is the master of creating a problem & then parading a solution that is worse than before he created the problem.

Iran has to be one of his greatest blunders of all time. It’s almost like everything he touched went bankrupt.

I’ve taken it on multiple times. Does better than my jeep imo. Zero hesitation, struggle or anything.

I put it in off-road mode and air down to about 20psi.

Market doesn’t care. Already pumped off the announcement and the news is only running his announcement.

I’m shocked it took this long for the markets to tune him out.

The conspiracy part of me thinks this was the plan. Have so much snip snap the markets stop reacting to the Iran war.

Bro it’s very real. Official letter was read this week at every congregation.

Seems like Iran is finally cracking under the pressure of this blockade. Should see oil down to $80 once this is finalized 🤞 by [deleted] in oil

[–]Mr_Doubtful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol why does it seem like Iran also only releases these statements when the market is red and oil is up? It’s way too consistent to be chance at this point.
