🛢️📈Washington cannot tolerate a major oil spike.
Not because oil itself is too expensive.
Because oil-driven inflation forces the market and the fed to price higher rates, higher long yields, and higher refinancing costs across the entire system.
Strategic Assessment: Iran’s strategic patience has failed. The US has used the time to work on an Iraq coup, and building Lebanon army + Syria against Hezbollah. US has remained below threshold and hasn’t given Iran a clear legitimacy to restart kinetic action.
🇮🇷🇮🇶 Iran's FM Abbas Araghchi touched down in Iraq to meet with his counterpart and Iraq's President and PM after the U.S conducted airstrikes on southern Iran
First stop though, was at the memorial site near Baghdad Airport for IRGC General Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis who were both killed in a U.S airstrike in 2020
His arrival also comes hours after Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi launched a massive crackdown on corruption targeting politicians and oil industry executives.

A lot of people gloss over the fact some refineries are built to handle sour crude and others sweet crude. You can run sweet crude in refinery built to handle sour crude but it reduces output and increases production costs
@tleilax___ The US just wants:
- Europe at war with Russia
- ME in perpetual war with Israel
- Japon in war with China
Then they can sit back, sell energy and weapons to everyone in USD.
Araghchi shows immense bravery.
He flies into Iraq during an internal coup against Iran-aligned Iraqis as the US prepares the next round of war against Iran.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Meets Iraqi Prime Minister
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, continued his official visits in Baghdad by holding talks with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaydi today.
The path to achieving justice & combating oppression & corruption is an arduous one that can be smoothed with earnest motivation & resolve, increased effort, courage & decisiveness, initiative, proper use of new technologies & implementing intelligent systems in operations.
The confessions and even brazen boasting of some of the leaders of the US-Zionist enemy regarding these crimes, are indisputably an admission of crime, and these effectively pave the way for the vindication of the [Iranian] nation's rights that have been violated.
Strait Closed: famine, global economic meltdown, WWIII. Iran looses regional support and China
Strait Fuzzy: Iran exports oil, shows goodwill, eco impact hits US disproportionally
War On: mutual destruction of all infra, apocalypse
War Off: US forced to deal or ground troops

L’Iran est dépendante des chinois, 90% du pétrole iranien est exporté, et une dependence militaire énorme.
Au delà de ça, la stratégie de transition de l’ordre mondial est coordonnée au plus haut niveau entre l’Iran, la Russie et les Chinois.
