Will there be market disruptions today? Sure, but the flow of oil and energy will not stop. Iran believes this crisis over the Strait of Hormuz will turn in its favor. It won’t. Markets shift, and we’re already seeing that. For those tracking oil tanker traffic, it seems like everyone is heading into the Gulf of America. And ensuring security along the Panama Canal, which liberals mocked Trump over, looks very important right now, huh?
The blockade is set for 10 AM. Iran says that’s not allowed or something, as if they have a choice. They don’t have a navy anymore. Oil production in the United States is actually sky-high right now.
Trump won. Iran lost.

The entire global energy market reshuffled itself to accommodate the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. And it just so happens that the world's biggest producer of oil and natural gas is the United States of America.
Iran will never recover from this. https://t.co/6U6UC00nbD

Looks like that canal down in Panama was pretty important after all…

Good thing we got it back from the Chinese before it turned into a choke point we didn’t control. https://t.co/mD1Dst4Lu2
The Strait of Hormuz: lame, hates freedom, no SEC championships.

The Gulf of America: cool, American exceptionalism, full of freedom and oil, all of the SEC championships. https://t.co/5dz8tos8SN
