    It’s about to get a lot worse now that the Houthis have Bab al-Mandab Strait too.

    And it’s not just them, all the Iranian backed militias have been cross training for the last decade.

    I’ve been thinking for a while it’s going to get really really bad right before midterms. Iran knows if Dems get control they’ll reign trump in. They’ll 100% manipulate gas prices to influence the election, especially since Trump burnt thru reserves already

      And they’re not going to reopen the straits after the election. That’s desperate cope from the market. This is just the new normal. They’re not influencing an election like North Vietnam had to do, Iran is directly bringing the USA to it’s knees. And the democrats will not betray Israel by giving concessions (nukes) to Iran, so Iran has nothing to say to them either.
