    Actually, the Trump administration's motto is If we break it, you fix it. He's sitting up the Iranian people as scapegoats if they fail to overthrow the mullahs.

So now the reality of potential continued disruption to oil related trade and pricing impacting global markets is too obvious to dismiss.

Iran strikes Thai ship attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

I think the prices are going to go up soon in Thailand.

So how is Iran blocking it when they have all 32 naval vessels at the bottom of the ocean according to the Dept. of War day before yesterday.

D.of W. also says tankers are moving through the straits as of yesterday morning.

If they accept people of such low intelligence!

Iran should allow non combatant flagged ships traveling to non combatant destinations to pass freely. Thailand has already formally requested an apology for attacking its ship this week. Iran needs some moderation of its propaganda to foreign countries not involved in the fighting, and this could be a way to get that.

Will never happen as long as religious radicals run the show. They would rather see the country go down in flames before any moderation occurs.

I agree the radicals are running the show there. As usual. But isolating themselves from, and damaging, the rest of the world is not in their best interests. If they don't get that then they need some professional behind-the-scenes advice. Ogilvy and Mather has long been the spin company governments worlwide turn to in times like this. The US used them extensively. Remember the first Gulf War and the Senate Committee being told by a tearful young women that she saw 'babies in incubators' thrown on the floor by Iraqi invaders in Kuwait? That was O&M. The woman was a minor royal of another ME country working for O&M. It was all BS of course. If O&M is too closely associated with the US (probably its biggest client), then the Iranians need another one.

Seem like oil is being shipped around the world. RED are tankers.

MSM = corporate marketing / windfall profits cheesy

Many vessels are now heading to Saudi Arabia's west coast to pick up crude oil, avoiding the Strait of Hormuz, which should be beneficial alongside the pipeline.

What say you? Especially the Islamic hating war mongers. Paint us a rosy picture of the economic outcome of President Trump's and Netanyahu's war of aggression against Iran.

An American or Israeli missile hits a building whilst the pro-regime supporters are marching in Tehran and dozens of femislamist hags in bin liners chant “Alluah Akhbar” like chimpanzees. Nope, can’t bring myself to side with these people.

To who. Who are the buyers.

Time to follow the USA and stop the sanctions against cheap russian oil and gas. There is no point in destroying the economy of the world just out of absurd politics and ideology. Be it Russia or any other gulf or Saudia or America. No oil producing nation is a street angel.
