Isn't this Trump's second term?
He was cleaning up Bush's mess. Are you posting MAGA jargon or are you recalling facts of when it happened?
Bro don’t mind these folks…… one side wants to fuck up the Middle East while the other is focused on destroying Russia
Both paths lead to the final result, which is a conflict with China

Interesting times we in...from a US hegemony perspective I understand why America wants to fuck up Iran. The old con game trying to justify it just doesn't hit the same though.
The administration in Washington gloating about the thought that they pushed Iran Nuclear program back for years.
So with the killing of their scientists along with bombing their nuclear power plants you feel accomplished.
These dudes are still bombing the fuck outta Tel Aviv, Haifa probably won’t have an important building in another week.
Like wtf and again what will you March Rubio do about all the uranium they have now

Question gotta be asked, what do Trump and his team have up their sleeves to avoid impeachment?
Yep that would limit China’s influence in the Middle East. The belt and road initiative won’t be connect to the Middle East thru Tehran.
Plus this would give China one less option for oil imports that help grow their economy…
This the way I see it
China’s refiners purchase crude oil from dozens of countries, with Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Malaysia being the largest sources. Imports from Malaysia increased significantly last year to 1.4 million b/d, which is more than Malaysia’s domestic crude oil production of around 0.6 million b/d.
On January 10, 2025, the United States announced additional sanctions on several oil vessels transporting crude oil from Russia. Because of potential disruptions from these actions, refiners in China may reduce purchases from Russia and replace those barrels with others from crude oil exporting countries not subject to sanctions, such as Brazil, Canada, the United States, or countries in the Middle East.
China’s second-largest source of crude oil imports was Saudi Arabia, although these imports decreased for the third consecutive year and averaged 1.6 million b/d, 9% less than in 2023.
The fact is that Obama bombed the Middle East. Your reasoning that Obama dropped 26,000 bombs on 7 countries in 2016 to “clean up the mess” of the previous president seems disingenuous because Obama was the President since 2009. Doesn’t make any sense.
While I Disagree policy to Attack Iran,
I must Give Praise to our Warriors for executing a Magnificent Deployment and Attack.
The @CENTCOM
team did a great job Planning/ Synchronizing the operations.
Now the Mission is to defend or Forward Deployed Warriors in the Middle East and be prepared for Iran Asymmetric attacks around the world.
God Bless America and our Troops!
You didn't answer the question. Those were not my facts it was from the internet so stop deflecting and answer the question or just keep talking MAGA points. It's really simple.
what are we looking at?

China doesn't get oil from Iran.
Good examples of what's known as projection
JPMorgan Warns: Oil Prices Could Surge 70% if Iran Shuts Down Hormuz Strait
According to a forecast cited by Bloomberg, oil prices could skyrocket by as much as 70% if Iran decides to block the Strait of Hormuz — a move that would send shockwaves through global energy markets.
While a full blockade remains unlikely, even limited Iranian actions — such as targeting tankers, jamming GPS systems, or deploying naval mines — could severely disrupt the regional oil trade.

Since when
Since the US sanctions they have to sell it under the table.
To evade sanctions, Iran is accused of using a so-called “shadow fleet” of tankers sailing with transponders disabled. Chinese private refineries — mainly in Shandong province — are reported to handle these imports, avoiding large state-owned oil companies.
Iranian oil is typically sold below market price due to sanctions. While this discount once created strong profit margins, analysts note a sharp decline: from $11 per barrel in 2023 to $4 in 2024, and just $2 so far in 2025.
Several reports indicate that Iran sells oil in Chinese yuan instead of US dollars, restricting its purchases to Chinese goods.
Anyone know any good energy stocks or ETFs to hold for short term?
