ΔO_BSOH>0 ⇒ f(f(O))>f(O) is worth understanding.

Ghalibaf is mathematically making the point that the oil prices will be much worse as a result of BSOH = Blockade Strait of Hormuz. There the first order effect f(O), and possibly a significant second order effect, f(f(O)).

In simple language the mathematical equation is saying, Trump if you worsen Hormuz disruption (positive delta), then the resulting gas prices will be much higher than even the first round of increases — you’ll miss the current ‘high’ prices.

Ghalibaf qualified as an engineer!

Soykırımın gölgesinde konuşanların nutuk atmaya hakkı yoktur.
Gazze’de çocukları, kadınları, sivilleri öldüren bir yönetimin mensubu olarak siz, en son konuşacak kişisiniz.

Türkiye’ye, Türk milletine parmak sallamak sizin haddinize değildir. Önce işlediğiniz savaş suçlarının hesabını verin.
Tarih de vicdan da sizi soykırımcı olarak anacaktır.

This is the same location that was targeted by India last May, where they claimed complete destruction. Now, all delegations have gathered at that very site.

Iran didn’t need to test a nuclear weapon, it already has one, it’s called the Strait of Hormuz. Unlimited range, global impact.

[Waleed Afridi @askwaleedA]

In 2013, Shehbaz stated that time would reveal who the “Messi” of Pakistan’s politics truly is. Today, time has proven his words.

Oil $94. Iran is surrendering completely.

[Waleed Afridi @askwaleedA]

Countries like Pakistan, whose economy is already struggling with high inflation and rising unemployment, would be hit especially hard.

War is not something to take lightly. It brings serious consequences that can affect the entire world. If conflicts escalate, global economies could face severe disruption, with Europe and the Gulf region likely experiencing significant financial strain. 1/2
