Everything that CAN go wrong for the Trump Administration in the Iran War seems to be GOING wrong right now… Just in the last 48 hours, we have: - Successful Iraqi hits on the Saudi East-West Pipeline (Pumping Station) - Ansarallah taking effectively complete control over the Bab al-Mandeb Strait - Iran striking two vessels crossing the Omani Route despite claims from Trump that they wouldn’t be able to for “a month” - Somali Piracy resurgence in the Gulf of Aden/Somali Basin - Diesel prices in the United States hitting all-time highs at $6/gallon - Gasoline in the U.S. hitting Labor Day highs - Brent AND WTI trading above $100 - Iran striking anchored vessels off the ports of UAE and Iraq - Bond Yields breaking through the roof Oh yeah, and we haven’t even seen Iran’s “October Surprise” yet… so there’s that too…
