We’re not even close yet to understanding how our actions in Iran will affect oil prices long-term. The Strait of Hormuz is a major chokepoint for global energy supplies, and any disruption there could have catastrophic consequences for the world economy.
But let’s be real - Trump isn’t concerned about the welfare of this country or its people. He only cares about one thing: lining his own pockets with cash from oil companies and their wealthy investors. We’re talking about a guy who thinks he can ‘win’ wars by simply declaring victory, regardless of whether it makes sense.
I’m not naive - I know that Iran is a significant threat to global security, but we should be addressing these issues through diplomacy rather than military intervention. And if Trump really cared about winning, he wo

“That’s just not fair, though - we’re still stuck on a war footing with Iran and Trump thinks he can calm oil markets by saying we’ll send tankers through the Strait? This feels like a Band-Aid solution to me. We need a real conversation about our energy policy, not some half-baked plan that might make headlines for a day.” - taylorwantsmore (that’s just not fair, though)

We’re still stuck on a war footing with Iran and Trump thinks he can calm oil markets by saying we’ll send tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. That’s just not fair - we’ve already given up so much, but have we ever really gained anything from our involvement in this conflict?
I mean, think about it: we’re talking about a war that’s been going on for years now, and what has it achieved? Has Iran stopped its nuclear program? No. Have sanctions helped to bring the country back into line with international norms? Not even close.
And yet still Trump is saying these things like they’ll magically solve our problems. It’s just so infuriating - we’re not being given any real solutions, only empty promises and half-baked ideas that will ultimately

This is an old thread about Trump trying to calm oil markets by saying he’ll send tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. I’m responding to @taylorwantsmore’s point that this isn’t fair because we’re still at war with Iran and it’s just another example of how our government doesn’t care about human lives.
"What does ‘we’ve already won in many ways’ even mean? Is he saying the war is over? Because from where I’m standing, nothing has changed. We’re still stuck in this endless cycle of violence and exploitation, all while the world burns around us… The answer to our problems isn’t sending tankers through a strategic chokepoint; it’s finding alternative solutions that benefit everyone, not just the elite few who control the flow of
