The Iran War: Here We Go || Bonus Video
In the past 24 hours the world has passed the point of no return in the Iran war. Disruptions have now reached a point that oil flows will remain broken for months to come. The only questions remaining are how bad will the ensuing global recession be? And how soon will it begin?

To what extent would a global recession affect the US economy?
more on the USS Tripoli and how it will be used in iran: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMy69tl25r8
The one thing that everyone from all sides should agree on: never doubt the Marines!
So you are saying Trump is a fuckin clown and the worst US president in history. Roger that.
It's time to take a look at China. Demonstrations in multiple cities for unpaid wages. Plants closing now because of oil shortages. Military command gutted again.
The US strategy makes no sense to me. Just destroying the 12 refineries in Iran alone will enable the country to achieve 3rd world status witin weeks. Kharg Island then becomes way more important strategically to Iran, and allows all the Arab countries and Israel alone to put their knees on the necks of the regime. Iran has no gas nor aviation fuel nor petrochemicals then, and the US can gacefully declare vistory and let the Arabs decide how theyu handle the Persian Gulf.
Hey Joe where are you going with your theory in hand, Good idea or bad idea? i think we are kinda winning a war that has been a long time coming and might change a few minds around the world about how to deal with some of our middle eastern neighbors
I for one, am eager for better days ahead. High petroleum prices? Good. Mullah go boom? Good. China not getting enough sticky crude? Yee haa. World crapping its oil addicted pants and crying about it? Wonderful. Stateside hand-wringers creating friction burns? All right! I swear, when the oil cannula pops out of the patient's arm, they really get excited, like its the end of the world. It's not, it's a recess, and recess is fun. Remove 15 mbbls/day and we go back, all the way to 2008 levels. So what? Was 2008 so cripplingly bad? Maybe you are just 17 years older, and with all that time, did you recess-proof your life, or business? Or are you crapping ice cubes of despair for having done absolutely nothing to prepare? Why did you develop a false sense of security that depended so utterly on something as tenuous as geopolitical stability? What do you expect to get out of this forum, besides a place to commisserate and be validated? What actions are you taking to recess proof your life or business?
You had me till, recession is fun. What kind of psychopathic mentality would describe the 2008 recession and all the suffering people endured as “fun”?
Also, don't we have satellites that can identify where and when these mines were dropped? Is the threat the movable water drones ?
Peter, can you show us where the oil is actually going once it's sold from the Middle Eastern countries who is going to have their supply disrupted secondly is there a law on the books that would allow the president to directly subsidize the temporary price of oil in US only ? injecting our reserves directly into a United States ecosystem and leave the rest of the world to deal with their own $120 barrel oil
Gonna go against the grain here, but I support the President and the action America is taking. I am sick of the terrorists and Iran holding the world hostage. You want a little terror you got it. To those that HATE the administration in office, tell me where did we get with Obama and Biden? When you have a rattlesnake under your back porch, you either kill it or wait till it bites someone Deal with it.
... you bring in a bigger rattle snake? Then how do you deal with that?
This is sadly the result of the damn culture wars. Had the woke crowd not been around pushing stupid shit there never would have been an embrace of Orange Man. The woke crap kept entrenching in colleges and businesses that were pathetically weak and didn't push back, the frustration grew, and the American electorate embraced a buffoon surrounded by incompetent apparatchiks. Now we here bear witness to the disaster of the worst administration in American history. 310 days until the democrats take over congress. And then we'll see the other side of incompetence...
I don't disagree, except that democrats will take anything back
Good question - Nasty A-4 Driver. I'd like to know that as well.
At 1521 PST on March 15, 2026, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the Strait of Hormuz is open to all traffic except US and Israeli ships. This is from two news outlets in India. How does this change the dynamics in the Straight, if at all?
It means that x.com is all the IRGC's command structure has left to coordinate action.
Long EV'S?
A good idea but America's supersized joyrider is a committed single occupant fan- a longer EV with more seats is useless
When Republicans get trounced in the midterm elections because of rightly being blamed for the increase in gas prices, will they again claim elections were stolen or blame it on illegals voting?
They will do their utmost to suppress the opposition. We’ll see if they succeed.
Just a quick note - Tripoli is an America class LHA, not a WASP class LHD. Very similar, but Tripoli and America are primarily geared around aviation operations, not amphibious assault in the same way as a WASP class that has a well deck. It does function as the center point of an amphibious ready group still.
Correct. The USS Tripoli (LHA-7) is the second "America"-class amphibious assault ship by for the US Navy. The previous USS Tripoli (LPH-10) was decommissioned on 15Sep1995. It also was not a WASP-class LHD. With the Tripoli on its way, it's possible that Marines could be deployed to secure Kharg Island or take out offensive Iranian weaponry on the Iranian islands on the north side of the Strait of Hormuz or the mainland of Iran itself. That said, I think that would require ten of thousands of troops, if not more, to do so. The city of Bandar Abbas strategically located has a population over 500,000.
If the straits remain closed then the entire world will have to become involved. What does that look like?
Was calling it the Trump-Epstein Files War now we need to add The Greasy Pete Bro' War appellation. Bonus video - Zelenskyy interview - WWIII - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYa7H1EmpCM
Trump has entered in aPutin double down dynamic. Down the hole....
I thought the Tripoli was an America class?
How long, do you think, given his penchant for escalation before he attempts to drop a nuclear weapon on Tehran, and will, at that point, our military leadership say no?
They should complete a coup d'tat IMMEDIATELY and fucking bKILL him and anyone who supports this stupid and pathetic, world-ending lunatic temper tantrum! Government by 5 year old schoolyard bullies! FUCK 'EM!
Well, it can only get worse. This is an absolute clusterf*** executed by an absolute clusterf*** of a government. If 2026 draws to an end without a markets crisis, runaway inflation and nigh-unaffordable petrochemical goods, then I might actually think there could be a God, after all.
I suspect that US special forces will land and occupy Kharg Island next.
Remember that Pearl Harbor and the attacks on the Philippines and Indonesia occurred when the US cut off the supply of oil to Japan. Now we have cut off oil and natural gas to both China and Japan.
Remember when Blargh hit Roogah over the head with a rock and then became tribal chief? Same thing
$10 a gallon will be a rupture that tariffs probably won’t fix and neither will AI!
He’d cut off oil exports long before that.
Good thing springs arriving and at least in my house outside of Boston energy consumption drops like a rock. So you gotta speak to use about Xi and that Iranian island ...I get this picture of Trump squeezing Xi and then Xi squeezing Tiawan
Air conditioning and electric bills are next.
Hey All, from some recent posts from Peter it seems that this conflict, if it continues, could seriously hurt China. Considering the US posture that China is the biggest concern and the military is prepping for a conflict, wouldn't this current issue, if it persists, effectively end the conflict before it starts?
I'm interested in what happens when the private credit collapse meets the Epstein Fury oil supply disaster. I'm betting that Drill Baby Drill will become Print Baby Print.
Thanks for the update Peter
We need to ban the sale and use of Nitrogen Fertilizer on lawns, ornamentals and golf courses. And delete the diesel Exhaus fluid emissions from all the ag and construion equipment and diesel trucks to free up more Urea for agricultural use. Its about God Damn time the American people made som sacrificez for national and food security.
First they came for my golf course. 😫
I'll say it again: Marines and 82nd airborne are going to take Kharg Island and the administration is going to try to use it as a bargaining chip to trade for the enriched uranium they know they won't be able to find themselves. Honestly the only idea that makes sense to me in this environment, because without the island the regime will collapse in 60 days max
I don't bet on it.
Thanks Peter.
If Trump wasn’t so goddamned stupid about EV‘s, this wouldn’t be as much of a concern for Americans. Personally, I care because it’ll negatively influence everybody but from a personal driving perspective, I don’t give a fuck about the price of oil and gas because I have an electric car.
That's a good start, but it will still impact every product that you purchase with inflation.
trump's only plan is to keep running from the truth. Stop, and it all catches up to him...
I enjoy these weekend videos. There’s so much happening that needs to be covered.
So, djt’s deal is to loosen the sanctions on his pal Putin, and let him sell the Indians and Chinese higher priced oil to finance his war with Ukraine, who is assisting the US with drone ops in Iran. The term ‘back stabbing’ comes to mind. Wot a fukup. All to distract from the Epstein files. Pedo.
He loves his pooty poot and hates Zelenskyy. Why does he hate Zelenskyy? Because deep down, he knows Zelenskyy is the better man.
Shadow fleet has to go or Russia will capitalize on the supply drop. Ukraine cannot be forgotten.
Practicing growing vege’s. May be a useful hobby…
I know Peter is giving bad news but I also believe Peter is sugar coating it.
And THAT’S the truly scary part. So he doesn’t sound like chicken little, screaming the sky is falling, I believe Peter has put guard rails up, on either side of his conclusions. Those guard rails are as much an act of faith, as believing in fiat currency. It works, very well, until it doesn’t, and then it all ends, right quick.
This may be Trumps Waterloo.
Here’s hoping.
Peter, if Iran lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz, doesn’t that also mean they wouldn’t be able to sell most/any of their oil as well, and also wouldn’t that imply it would be more difficult for them to get the Shahed components from China that they’ve been receiving by sea? Do they have contingency plans for this or are they just going for a bit of scorched earth figuring the pain inflicted from mining the Strait on the US will be greater than it would be on them?
Iranians using unmanned underwater drones torpedo like to m8ne the Strait. This is where it gets interesting. How much longer after all will it take to clear said mines after July Pete? IE stugfs back to normal inx depression by when? Xmas? What@!!!???????. Ta.
Does all this mean ... $150 per ... by Wednesday? All 👁️👁️on Crude's Price-Action. Far less likely The Markets will take a "calm" approach ... as escalation in every form will continue through the weekend ... 🐝leev that with certainty. My bet- Yeeeah probably. Buy Exon and Constellation for the short term ... if you can.
Buy food.
It is incredible, diesel fuel is up nearly 2 dollars a gallon in the United States… just as construction and planting season are supposed to be starting. Trump‘s war on the working class is very successful so far
Fertilisers are on the rise right in the seeding season.
Pedo President propels petroleum prices.
Precisely
It seems that life has become like iPhone apps. Everything is being broken for the express purpose of extracting more money from users. https://youtu.be/Yx2exbhMHQU
