Its is no longer simply US taxpayers paying the price for #FarRght Extremist Fallacies From #WhiteHouse...
While #Europe is losing nearly €500 million a day due to rising fuel costs alone brought by the US created conflict in the #PersianGulf...Iran has walked away from negotiations while the US thinks its strategy will cause Iran's oil infrastructure to collapse due to lack of ability to store the excess #crude.
Across the globe the sudden oil shortage is pissing off US Allies, ranging from far eastern countries like #Thailand & #Bangladesh on to #EU president von der Leyen who told the #Hague last wk that in just 60 days of US driven conflict, “our bill for #fossilfuel imports has increased by over €27 billion, without a single molecule of additional energy”
On April 26, 2026 #DJT told #FoxNews #Sunday Briefing the goal of USA shutting down Iranian oil wells was to trigger production shutdowns of Iranian #oil and cause their pipelines to explode from pressure...
The US administration’s belief that their bullying blockade will simply destroy Iranian resolve and infrastructure, and trigger immediate economic collapse, #hyperinflation, and global shortages, has also been echoed by #NewYorkTimes, which recently repeated creepy claims from U.S. officials stating that Iran's oil wells “cannot be turned on and off, and they would be damaged if they are forced to shut down,” and arguing that these risks will force #Iran to the table to quickly “make a deal to avoid such long-term problems.”
The US President echoed this strategy last week on #Foxnews
“What happens is that line explodes from within. Both mechanically and in the earth, something happens where it just explodes, and they say they only have about three days left before that happens,” Drumpf said “And when it explodes, you can never rebuild it the way it is.”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, went on #MelonHusk's X platform to claim “IRGC Leaders are trapped like drowning rats in a sewage pipe,” adding that “Iran’s creaking oil industry is starting to shut in production thanks to the U.S. BLOCKADE. Pumping will soon collapse. GASOLINE SHORTAGES IN IRAN NEXT!”
Iran simply disputes these assessments, saying they have far more capacity for oil and the western propaganda is always "trying to sow fear among the Iranian public"
“Iranian oil fields, wells, and pipelines aren’t going to explode from being shut down,” assures Robin Mills, of the Center on Global Energy Policy.
“It certainly is a major gamble from the Trump administration.” said Brett Erickson, a sanctions and geopolitics expert of strategic consultancy firm Obsidian Risk Advisors. “They better be holding all the cards as they say they are, otherwise Iran is going to beat us on the river card, and the entire world economy is going to pay the price.”
