I figure what, by Friday gas prices will be up around $8 pg?
US and Iran conflict thread. ( merged threads)
- Thread starter TEOTWAWKI inc.
- Start date
Realistically I was thinking 3.50-4 by end of week.
The longer this goes and the longer the strait is closed the higher the prices will gradually rise. 5$ isn't out of the question in a relatively short time.
Gas will be much, much lower by April.

Yeah, it is a Republic of Palau flagged tanker (under US Sanction for carrying Iranian oil .... usually to China but managed out of Dubai) with a mixed Indian and Iranian crew (Iranian Master and Chief). There is video of a small Iranian boat firing on the tanker but I could not verify since the small coastal Iranian patrol boat had no flag and no bow or stern markings (so it could have been stock Iranian propaganda footge from a decade ago).

Oh shit. US flag ship run by Crowley got hit in shipyard. Some foreign shipyard worker fatalities. This is a ship Iran harassed and the US Navy rescued just weeks ago.

It's going to depend on location. Still many around me that haven't been under $3 in years. Some were at $3.19 off and on for the first 7-8 months right after we moved here two years ago. Then sitting at $3.09 until 3 weeks ago when they went to $3.04. I was going to a Mobil that was under $3 pretty often. But, last year even they went up to $2.98 and 9/10.

Israel Update
~ Financial Times reported that Israel hacked Tehran traffic cameras for years and tracked Iranian leaders and bodyguards using algorithms. They could track Khamenei as well.
•”Two days ago, the Iranian regime had 11 ships in the Gulf of Oman. Today they have zero. The Iranian regime has harassed and attacked international shipping there for decades. Those days are over. Freedom of maritime navigation has underpinned global prosperity for over 80 years. U.S. forces will continue to defend it.”
~ The IDF assassinated the head of Iran’s strategic weapons R&D. This is a major blow—he was behind missile programs and key developments.
~ The four goals Trump stated:
• Destroy Iran’s missile capabilities
• Destroy Iran’s navy
• Prevent nuclear weapons
• Stop Iran from arming and financing terrorist organizations
~ Today I listened to an interview with an Iran expert, born in Iran and formerly in IDF Military Intelligence. He said about one million armed people work for the regime. The regime is heavily deploying forces into the streets, making rebellion very difficult. It will be tricky to deal with all those armed people. Many of them are dedicated.

For the millionth time, radicalization and weaponization of modern Islam was started by the CIA to counter Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and was used in many other places. This is well known and documented historical fact. It's U.S. policy which continues to this day in plain view. Blame those who weaponized this religion, not those who were born into it.

@GOPerfect when you spoke to the good dr. How was the report from Israel? Are a lot of missiles and drones making it through the defenses?
The media seems to be keeping a pretty good lid on information on losses and damage from getting out. Just curious from a boots on the ground report.
