Oh this isn’t over by a long shot.
Iran and it’s allies had better get the body bags out.
China didn’t bomb us when Billy Jeff incinerated their embassy in Belgrade.
It's just political theater to make Israel look bad.
The US TECHNICALLY doesn’t need their oil.
We have our own. The democrats screwed us over on that count.
An awful lot of us remember the Iran hostage crisis when they attacked the US embassy and took hostages they held for over a year.
And don't forget that the Iranians slaughtered people at the Israeli Embassy in Argentina some years back. 29 people were killed in that attack. Has there been any retaliation for that massacre?

Yes, I know, but until the Demonrats open up our oil we’re reliant on overseas oil esp. from countries that hate us.
“This was a test run to evaluate Israeli defenses.“
….And we have a WINNER!!
Don’t panic everyone. Biden will find a way to release more billions of dollars so that Iran can build more missiles to attack Israel. /s
Nope. The US is a net oil exporter these days.
But since the US is a participant in international markets US domestic petroleum prices will be the prevailing international prices.
The mullahs in Iran know that Israel has detailed information on their home addresses and the other locations where they would try to hide. If Israel can split the building in Syria with the accuracy they showed, theyknow damn good and well they can’t hide.
What whole thing? The Hamas attack on 10/7?
And I’m sure that’s all part of the plan.
That may be true, however that oil isn’t being exported to the America. Remember 0’Biden shutting down our oil supply within hours of taking office?
So it was okay for Iran to invade our embassy in Tehran back during Carter and we did absolutely nothing about it?
The US imports and exports oil and oil products depending on what makes economic sense locally. This depends on transportation routes, location of refineries, oil terminals, markets, etc. other factors. The US is a very big place where conditions vary.
For instance: the US imports most of Venezuelas oil because the US has specialist refineries to process that heavy high-sulfur stuff. The refined products from that are mostly used domestically.
It does not matter when we’re paying over $4/gal here in WA and the national avg. is around #3.50 - we are not getting our oil in to our system. Remember gas prices during Trump.
Global oil prices are higher than during Trumps time. US prices are global prices.

Part of this is due to greater global political uncertainty and perceived risk, much of which is, IMHO, due to the incompetence of the Biden administration.
West Coast refined products (gasoline, diesel) are more expensive than the national average because of greater taxes and regulatory burdens. Especially so in California.
And the price in CA will jump when they go to ‘summer’ fuel.
The scum who hide behind women and children do.
