While these attacks are worrying, I suspect the most important indicator to follow here is the draw downs from the US strategic petroleum reserve: https://www.spr.doe.gov/dir/dir.html
Now, many institutions have suggested that the reserve will no longer be able to subsidize the market past early July, while others suggest that we could last till September (which I believe the math here suggest if you look at these draw downs and assume they are sweet crude, but I am no expert).
Regardless, I think a basic game theory view would suggest that Iran likely wants to hold out until the US is actually experiencing real pain, which would suggest conflict, but no damage to oil production infrastructure going forward, even if pipelines are attacked, because the entire point of the game theory is the ability to remove the pain going forward. If that starts happening, I'd assume that signals a shift in the conflict beyond the strategic reserve waiting game.
William Spaniel made the interesting and excellent point that the conflict has already dragged past the point where oil prices could go down in time for the US midterms. If they were banking on Trump fearing high oil prices affecting mid terms, they banked wrong. Trump has already strapped a suicide vest onto the GOP and sent them into the bazaar, so there's no reason to believe he will back down or that the rest of the GOP will stand up to him. Yes I know about the meaningless house vote, but they can afford to pass that empty resolution because they know that even if it somehow got through the Senate it would never get past the presidential veto. Only a credible threat of impeachment can stop Trump, which is to say, nothing can stop Trump. At least, no governmental authorities can.
As a longtime William Spaniel viewer, I’ve definitely been following along, but his most recent video doesn’t actually address this.
My point is that we have been subsidizing the price of gasoline via the strategic reserve. When that is no longer viable, if the conflict is ongoing, we should expect prices to spike higher. Some estimates have the price per barrel doubling. By my research, on the high ends of the estimates ($200/barrel), that puts us near $6 in even low cost states.
This seems like an order of magnitude more pain for Americans, and thus the current political coalition. “High” gas prices may be baked in, but “extreme” gas prices are still on the table and at a much more critical period for the election. I suspect the Iranians are doing the math just like I am and they realize that holding the strait closed can continue to increase leverage up until our sweet crude reserves are depleted, at which point the should be more willing to come to the table. However, I may be wrong, and would defer to William if he makes a video about this problem.
That's a good point and you're right that he hasn't specifically addressed the fact that a depletion of national reserves not only in America but around the world is going to lead to a second potentially even bigger spike in oil prices, and that's sure to have an effect on elections.
I think his point was that this spike is already guaranteed to happen, even if Iran capitulates tomorrow. The average consumer and voter probably doesn't know this, but surely someone in the Pentagon and/or White House has told Trump that it's inevitable at this point, and Trump has already decided not to let that force him to accept worse peace terms than he wants.
In my own personal opinion, Trump doesn't care if the GOP gets devastated in November. He will tell himself quite happily that it just goes to show the GOP is electorally weak and unpopular without him on the ballot, and that feeds his need for narcissistic supply just fine. Shout out to Vlad Vexler.
In the opinion of geopolitical strategists and commentators like Spaniel, or George Friedman or Ian Bremmer, I think they would also agree that this is not the worst strategy on Trump's part. Regardless of his or the GOP's electoral prospects and political power, it would be bad for America and for the world as a whole to accept a humiliating total withdrawal from the Middle East. The main difficulty the US faces in dealing with Iran is a total lack of international support, due mainly to Trump's horrific lack of diplomacy. A second potentially even more dramatic spike in oil prices may spur a lot of world leaders to take a much more active role in resolving this conflict. Iran putting up a massive toll on the Strait of Hormuz is almost surely not an acceptable outcome for the rest of the world, so, as much as they may publicly and privately hate Trump and what he's done, they will be more likely to put more pressure on Iran to climb down and allow the strait to re-open with at most nominal, trivial, face saving tolls.
If that doesn't happen and Iran eventually gains full control over the Strait and imposes whatever toll they want, the international precedent set could lead to Malaysia or Indonesia slapping tolls on the Strait of Malacca, China slapping tolls on all trade with Taiwan, Denmark and/or Sweden tolling access to the Baltic Sea, and of course America seizing back control of Panama and slapping bigger fees on that too. Global shipping prices could rapidly accelerate and make the entire planet poorer, with only some compensation and wealth transfer to those nations that, like Iran, just so happen to be sitting on critical geography for ship-borne trade and have the military power to exploit it.
Trump didn't write Project 2025; it's not his agenda. His agenda was to protect himself from all criminal prosecutions for the rest of his life, get incredibly rich, get revenge on all his enemies, and bask in the adoration of his fans, fear of his enemies, and respect of his peers. The GOP losing control of Congress is at worst only a slight impediment to that agenda, since impeachment is effectively off the table almost no matter what, and he is able to find ways to do basically everything he wants via executive orders anyway.
He didn't write it but its the blueprint for his entire term and thats beyond dispute. He's happy to enrich himself while Vought and his handlers are convicing him that he's building the greatest "legacy" of any modern president. He gets off on his power to reshape govt to his will. Trust me he doesn't want to be hamstrung by investigations and be a super lame duck president his entire 2nd half. Not to mention there will be investigations into his illegal family holdings
To the extent that a lame duck presidency means the president loses the ability to bully Congress into passing their bills, I don't think we or he will notice any difference. He has passed only one major bill in his whole term so far. Everything he has done has been through the power of his office and only court orders have slowed or stopped him, that will almost certainly continue to be no more and no less true for the rest of his presidency regardless of how the GOP does in the mid terms.
There will come a non-zero point regarding drawdowns which is effectively the same as a zero point ie there isn’t enough drawdown available for a successful adjustment to market oil prices. Fan meet feces moment
FWIW, if you run that URL through the wayback machine and compare past data to present data, it looks like the drawdowns come from both sweet and sour crude.
stop trying to change the subject. IRGC attacks neighbors and their own people. IRGC executes protestors every day. If a woman is being executed, they rape her before so that she does not die a virgin.
the world can handle oil prices. oil prices are going down as alternatives are developed.
the most imminent disasters all exist inside Iran. The most acute of which is water bankruptcy.
the world needs to be mobilizing NOW to save millions of Iranians from dying to water contamination, starvation, and dehydration.
IRGC has emptied the nations aquifers and 40%+ of Iranians are going to experience water and electricity shortage in a country that can reach 125 degrees Fahrenheit.
THEY ARE LYING TO THE WORLD. SEPAHI ARE UNIVERSALLY HATED. THEY ARE IN TERMINAL COLLAPSE. THERE ARE PLENTY OF PATRIOT MISSILES. IRGC ONLY HOPE IS AMERICAN POLITICAL WILL. THIS IS WHY THEY FLOOD WESTERN SOCIAL MEDIA WITH BOTS.
IRGC are not Iran's leaders. they are Iran's occupiers.
They maintained power in January by massacring tens of thousands of PROTESTORS. They rounded up nurses who helped protestors and gang raped them on video, murdered them, defiled their corpses, and sent the video to family.
They are, in a sense. Assassinating the prior leader expectedly caused an immediate power vacuum. That was the entire point. The regime change resulted in the most cohesive group with the most power to gather support…which resulted in the IRGC coming out on top. The current Ayatollah has support from the IRGC, as he was already essentially the Ayatollah in waiting, since his father had been preparing to step down before being turned into an Iranian martyr.
In terms of protestors being killed, the actual facts are that the numbers were vastly overblown. There were tens of thousands who participated in the protests, but tens of thousands weren’t shot, let alone killed. Iran had full internet access up until March. If there were tens of thousands of people killed within the city of Tehran within a matter of two days, it would be impossible to hide. The internet restrictions didn’t occur until well after the incident occurred.
Everything else that you said is just weird stuff that you made up in your own head…which again is just weird.
they do not represent Iran, they represent Shia Caliphate. They would genocide every single Iranian if they had thought it would help them conquer the Arabs and genocide Israel
There has yet to be any actual evidence of the claim that "10s of 1000" were killed.
100s sure. And thats bad enough, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and as of yet i have seen none
I wish you guys got as upset about the 100s of double-tap strikes done by Isreal in Gaza and Lebanon on first responders and innocents trying to save people from the rubble, or the confirmed killings by Isreal of over 50k women and children in Gaza, or the several 100 journalists killed by them among many other things
I don’t know why you’re getting so many downvotes. The IRGC is a genuine terrorist group, designated as such not just by the U.S. but EU as well. These fuckers are responsible for the conditions in Lebanon and Yemen, in addition to their brutal acts against Iranian citizens. You can disagree with US actions, but they’re not nearly as horrific as IRGC’s
Every report on this needs to have an analysis of how much it costs to build these interceptors and how long. Generally, we understand that we are losing but we don’t understand how badly we are losing.
It matters because we are running out of missiles. The weapons we’ve used so far in this war will take the better part of a decade to rebuild, our stores of missiles are empty.
This isn’t a normal defeat. We could just leave Afghanistan or Iraq without a real problem.
Our military was very impressive in the early 2000s and it looks exactly the same right now. The new spending bill contains over 100 battleships. It’s insane.
No amount of propaganda can save Sepahi from their own people. Iranians are not stupid. Every Iranian knows friends and family that have been gang raped or murdered by the regime.
tens of thousands of protestors were massacred by foreign mercenaries the regime brought in because their own soldiers wouldn't open fire on unarmed civilians. IN JANUARY
That’s a great point, except for everything that has happened since January. Maybe you should read about what blowback is and how it changes things.
None of that matters because Israel and the US are constantly bombing the Iranians. If the regime was about to fall trump wouldn’t be trying to make a peace deal. Since he is, they are clearly in a good position.
If you believe that Iran has nuclear weapons or was building one after every intelligence agency in the world, except Israel’s, said they weren’t then you have learned nothing since the war in Iraq. Even tulsi gabbard last year as the director of national intelligence said that they weren’t doing it until Trump told her to change her mind.
Yes, believing the dumbest things possible and supporting the dumbest war possible means that your brain has melted.
Iranian missile strikes are shaking up oil markets, but keep an eye on Asian and European inventory draws from past Hormuz restrictions. These hidden reserves might cushion price spikes more than expected, challenging the fear of immediate, dramatic shifts in oil prices.
