Can't answer for the rest of the world, as there are thousands of Iranians alone who are celebrating a possible better future, along with Iran's neighbors and those who were victims of it's regime. I never delude myself, preferring to go by actual facts and what will happen in the outcome of this conflict, which isn't what many think.

Tell me who in Thailand is celebrating gasoline at 44 baht /litre, instead of 32 baht/litre. Fact. Tell me who in Australia is celebrating petrol at $2.50 a litre, before the war $1.60 a litre. Fact.

What will happen in the outcome of this conflict is a matter of opinion. Yours is worth no more than any other, although your nationalistic vanity wants to polish a turd.

You remind me of the cesilical elliptical oozle bird, in danger of disappearing up your own rectum.

Seeing you have that poor memory, try and remember what I've said all along. If you can't, you can take some time and read it up. The other Americans have said much the same as I have for exactly the same reasons. We aren't assuming but live it everyday, even if we dislike or like Trump. Who's full of it is you, but being that personality type, you'll never admit defeat, but come back and look all the more foolish every day, so again, pester another, and see how they interact with you, as I'm done.

Please post it here. Contrary to your wild imagination, I have no interest in searching your posting history and scouring your posts in search for the relevant information.

So post a summary here for everyone to discuss or cut and paste the post from where you claim to have told us all earlier. Thank you.

Whilst you are at it...can you list the names of the 'other Americans' about whom you refer? Because the Americans I see here, are divided. So to which Americans are you referring?

Under $2 now and prices will fall further as greater supplies are sought from elsewhere.

Wars bring up prices. Where have you been? You're old enough not to degrade into childish insults, just because you haven't anything but you own opinions to go to, and a few AI links to support things we already knew. Americans know a lot more than you do about American happenings, although you do have those podcasts to go by, which, like you said, are opinions. You hate America, so admit to that, being prejudiced for no reason other than hating our leader, and stick with your opinions, which will be proven wrong in time. There are those who know very well what's going to happen in a lot of this conflict, as they're the ones in charge.

Again, so many words, without backing up your claim of knowing anything more than anyone else.

Try making a post with just facts about what the Trump administration is doing. You have told us that it's not about oil, but you knew the tankers would head to the US for oil. 😊

Why not tell us before it happens, rather than jumping on the bandwagon afterwards and then pretending that you knew it all before? 😊

How do you explain the 60% enriched uranium?

It took place AFTER Trump tore up the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), releasing Iran from any constraints on its sovereign right to develop Nuclear weapons.

Nuclear armed Israel and nuclear Armed America have exercised the same right, only one of the three has ever used a nuclear weapon in war.

Australia was able to get some excess fuel from Malaysia, Brunei and South Korea on emergency bi-lateral basis. This just a stop gap effort and not a full time solution. Australia like others will still have to suffer conflict related reduction in supply. The projection is that gas price will still peak at $2.46 in weeks ahead.

I don't hate America. I despise what it has become under Trump, a majority of weak-minded people who put a convicted felon into power, then defend him when he is taking a wrecking ball to anything decent.

21% of Americans are either low literacy or functionally illiterate. The Australian literacy rate is 99%. Don't tell me how knowledgeable you are.

Why are you worried about America at all, as you're an Australian now living in Thailand, where little that goes on will ever affect you personally?

I never said others couldn't criticize America, as we Americans also do that. It's that you don't understand what living as an American means, or how it feels, and aren't up to speed as well as those that actually live there on goings on, and can only rely on a few news networks, who can be biased and often are.

I know a little of what goes on in Australia, and what they did to help us during the war, along with inventions, and would love to visit there to fish Cairns, but I haven't lived there, so can't assume how living as an Aussie feels, or what goes on politically there, even if I wanted to, as it would be opinions from others as well.

This is from AI, where I'm guessing you went but didn't read any further than the first line........While Australia has a high nominal literacy rate (approximately 99%), data from the OECD and Adult Learning Australia indicates that around 44% of Australian adults lack the necessary literacy skills for everyday life and work. This indicates a significant "functional literacy" gap, where many adults struggle with complex reading tasks, despite basic proficiency.Functional Literacy vs. Basic Literacy
While formal reporting often lists Australia at or near 99% literacy, this figure typically refers only to basic reading and writing abilities. The "functional literacy" issue indicates a significant portion of the population struggles with more complex tasks, such as interpreting forms, understanding instructions, or using digital technologies.  

There are millions of very intelligent Americans, proven by school data, and that also stands for every American I've ever known personally, all highly intelligent, even though some did vote for trump, which doesn't have any bearing on intelligence anyway but again, one of hope.

Don't assume how knowledgeable I am, as you haven't a clue how much I do know about many subjects. That's another flaw a few use here which doesn't work, but does show ignorance.

You are scaring yourself with the “ what if” generalisation. Fact of the matter according to US Intelligence is that Iran is not currently undertaking key nuclear weapons development activities necessary to produce even a testable nuclear one. IAEA said there was no structure program in Iran to develop nuclear weapons. You got to point the nuclear question to Israel who has nukes. No one celebrating the close of Hormuz because of Trump’s stupidly to follow Israel lead for the unprovoked attack on Iran and not consulting allies in NATO and GCC.

You actually thinking what the plan was for this conflict or of the intended outcome doesn't help your cause. Trump's wants are for America first, as he's always said. Too many taking advantage of America is what he wanted to stop. How he (they) go about things is something many of us aren't aware of right now, but are being explained along the way. Those that are headstrong against America and Trump might never see this through, as it takes an open mind to see past the hatred.

America will always be needed by most, if not all countries, and that also goes both ways, as trade between is what's foremost.

Trump isn't a good wordsmith but he isn't going to tell everything by any means. The technology America has is far more advanced than many realized, but are seeing first hand now, and this is a warning to all other countries who might have thought of taking America on. The threats he's said are both from his own ego and to make the other side have fear, which has always been a good war tactic.

When all this is said and done, Iran might have a democracy, as it's in their hands soon. Some definite terrorists have been eliminated, as well as much of their thinking, hopefully replaced eventually by those who are in the best interests of their people and will allow them to speak without death or torture.

The Strait will be opened, and not under Iran's control, and oil is available in the US anyway, and has been all along, and this was a tactic that worked for America, again Trump's best interest. No matter what you think of him, it's those behind him that are giving him most of his ideas, and they have been planned for a long time. The world will not be fearing Iran anymore, hopefully if things do change there, and this will also be a time where neighboring countries will also have that peace. Enriching uranium to that level was for one purpose only, no matter if it can be degraded. I think you and some others are forgetting what happened for decades before this conflict and only are thinking of what it might cost you in gas prices and other areas, at least temporarily, which it will certainly be.

Iran has never officially said that it wants to build nuclear weapons. Show me your links that said otherwise that any top Iranian officials make that official statement.

Instead, top Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have consistently stated that the country's nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, and have claimed that nuclear weapons are forbidden under Islamic law.

Australia's trade with China is four times more valuable than that with America, and we don't have to cope with tariffs either. We need China far more than we need the USA. Increasingly, Australians are regarding America with skepticism.

Nobody needs to take America on. It's doing a pretty good job of destroying itself with debt. If you had an open mind, you'd be seeing the signs. Central banks have been buying gold and ditching the dollar for years.

You think America is more technically advanced than other countries? How does that explain why you have to import immunoglobulins and recombinant proteins from Australia, because you can't make them yourself? How does that explain the piddling amount of high speed rail you have, against China's 48,000 km? How do you explain China leading the world in nuclear fusion research?

The Iranians have already proved high technology anti-missile systems can't get 100% success in assymetric warfare, they can make Shahed drones from lawnmower engines at a fraction of the cost of a Patriot or THAAD.

You are right about one thing, I fail to understand what living like an American is like when I don't have to train my kids how to avoid being shot in their schoolroom, or fork out a fortune for prescription medications, or have crushing student debt. And I definitely don't understand how Trump pays less in tax than any secretary he employs.

I posted America's inventions and also mentioned the technology it has along the way. Comparing apples to oranges doesn't work as all countries have their share of technological advances. America buys things cheaper from other countries instead of making them themselves, and has done this all along. Other countries do the same thing. Think of how much China exports to all countries. Cheap labor. Thinking the US isn't capable of anything any other country does is ludicrous, as history has shown. America can make anything it wants.

I haven't had to train my children how not to get shot, as they, 5 in America, had all their years without any problems whatsoever. They also haven't had to buy many prescriptions as they're all in good health, following my diet and health regimen by watching me growing up. Everyone has to buy medicines at times, even me, but that's life.

America should have free healthcare, and likely eventually will, as it's a huge population that needs more help than many other countries that way. China leads the way, as does America, Japan, Germany and all other countries, in some things. That''s how the world has been all along. Go back and actually look at America's inventions I linked, as I'm sure you didn't, as it would have taken some times to look over all of them.

How much high speed rail does Australia have, seeing it's a hugely desolate country far between major cities? Definitely needed there. It's not needed in America, as it's quite easy to take a cheap flight across the US in less than 3 hours.

Iran has proven one thing for sure. They had no chance trying to stand up against America's military, as most other countries now know. They might have cheap drones but no military as far as Air Force or Navy left, as that was demolished in a couple of days. If America wanted to demolish the rest, they could but that's not been the objective. Stopping the regime in it's tracks, along with now having them busted as far as trying to build it again.
