Iran needs some kind of changes as its economy is doing poorly.

WOAH dang.. we had nothing to do with that and we disavow it

meanwhile in the iranian board room <:hypersmugon:544638648721604608>

They were hoping they could get around the US sanctions through the EU, but that probably won't work anymore

YEah, man. It was just a week a RN ship protected an oil tanker from Iranian boats.

sandnigs gonna sandnig

And they said "Not us, fuck off"

<:thinking_clown:590855640268668928>

And BOOM! One week later.

Here we are.

they literally cuck us

they cuck the fuckin world mate

Pffft, they are the ones cucked. Good luck selling cheap oil to the Chinese.

<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

I mean..

They could try push up oil prices

So that the little they do sell, does actually go for more

Which might be the play?

well unfortunately for them the US is a much bigger oil and natural gas exporter then we were

US oil production would swamp the market if prices go up

One or two tankers are not enough, they would have to close the entire strait, and that is war.

Really war.

And yes, US oil production will ramp up.

Hmm

We would take reserves and sell them to cash in and then replace with cheaper oil as it comes into play.

i say we conquer iran and frack the whole country

I'm not sure what their play is then.

Retaliation, and preassure to bring western countries to their negotiating table.

For the OG deal.

If they escalate they are out of options

The issue is, there seems to be growing support for the sanctions?

Out of options that would keep the zealots in power I should say.

Because it's working.

see i think iran specifically tries to push their god damn luck

Sanctions will lead to a war or to civil war.

like they do a thing and when we kinda half-ass retaliate they go <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

Ok, i just checkd the oil price, the US ones are going up.

And we are yet to see OPEC oil price.

But they were going down.

you have that backwards, we do a thing, they half-ass retaliate, and we go <:angrypepe:497157904743268363>

Dropping prices is a way to push competitors out of the market
