A couple of weeks ago China announced it had completed the new freight railway from China to Iran, notably allowing it to transport Iranian oil and gas directly to China by land.

So as Iran turns off the oil supply to the West by blocking Hormuz, China secured all the oil it needs from Iran, and is probably also supplying arms to Iran by rail in payment.

Well done Trump; you have just wasted an estimated $28 billion of American taxpayer's money to make some empty bunkers into big holes, and in the process turned off the energy supply to the West, cemented the trade and oil supply to China, and rearmed Iran with the latest Chinese drones and weapons!

Sorry, just remind me Trump - who is it you are actually working for?

Side effects--Russian oil prices go up too--more money to fight Ukraine. We live in fear of domestic terrorism, and that keeps us under the thumb of the police state. ICE gets to deport any Iranian they pretty much just spot.

Gosh! This isn't a valid threat concerning the USA because we have energy indepenant since 2019, when our energy production exceeded our consumption. Any price increases will come from companies who want to profit from hysteria. Remain calm this is not a valid concern for Amrricans

These idiots who made the decision to bomb I imagine, haven’t even thought of this scenario

It was one of the possibilities certainly. And they did think of it. It was talked about endlessly on TV.

Which was preceded by his stupid destruction of the nuke agreement in 2016. The more we see the more we learn. Too bad some people choose to bury their head in the sand.
