Price of Oil - Nuclear Iran?

For shits and giggles...
ChatGPT, what would the price oil be if Iran backed by nuclear weapons shut down the Straight of Hormuz?
How would panicans and commies solve this?
ChatGPT, what would the price oil be if Iran backed by nuclear weapons shut down the Straight of Hormuz?
quote:
If Iran actually used nuclear weapons and shut down the Strait of Hormuz, the oil market would go into immediate shock. That strait is the single most important oil chokepoint in the world.
Roughly 20–21 million barrels of oil per day pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
That’s about 20% of global oil consumption.
Major exporters using it include Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, and Qatar.
If shipping stops, the world instantly loses access to a massive chunk of supply.
Likely price reaction (very rough estimates)
Economists usually model scenarios like this:
Immediate panic spike:
Oil could jump to $150–$250 per barrel within days.
If the strait stayed closed for weeks:
Prices could push $250–$350+ per barrel because global inventories would start draining.
...

When did Iran get nuclear bombs and when did they shut down the straight of Hormuz prior to the assassination of their leader?

By sending them pallets of cash like Obama did.

He deserved it. Glad he’s dead

"How would panicans and commies solve this?"
By kicking the can down the road. The Dems and RINOS are Globalists and like it.
It is akin to how long MAGA can kick the can of Judicial Corruption before dysfunction creates chaos and collapse and requires either a violent response or acquiescence to the Ideological Opposition. Fascist Authoritarian Marxism or Theocratic Rule per Iran. The Two now unite to take down the Constitutional Republic but note how many Sharia Muslims are in China.

By impeaching Trump.

They would be orgasmic right now if that were the case.
I'd rather they be where they are now: purple with rage in apoplectic fits.

I'm certainly not mourning the assassination of Iran's leader who ruled with Sharia Law, and agree that a pre-1979 or so Iran would be better for the entire region, and likely, the world.
That said, we were fed that regime change in Iraq was needed because of weapons of mass destruction. To this day...I'm not sure there's been any definitive proof one way or the other as to whether those things existed or not when we went in there. No doubt Saddam Hussein was an evil dictator who deserved to be hanged, but at what cost to the United States and the soldiers who died?
I just don't want us in another Iraq situation, but I would agree that the current temporary surge in oil (and gasoline) prices is worth it IF, IF, the Iranian people themselves can seize this opportunity to take their own country back and install leadership that isn't so hell bent on "death to infidels".

Well it’s a threat that has been used to justify things for 40 years.
If they haven’t done it by now I don’t think it’s as imminent to spend time pondering scenarios that would be absolutely extreme measures where they would knowingly isolate themselves from the entire world.

So you are not familiar with scenarios that make people develop alternatives

Hard to take ChatGPT seriusly when it keeps telling me that my $387 limit buy on Microsoft is still good.

For this experment lets stick with the IF statement being true. How would you solve it?
Grit and bear the $7+ a gallon gas price? Go in hot and hope for the best? Send in the CIA and hope to topple from within?
Curious. How would the mental giant known as Kamala solve this problem.

GOP continues to lean hard into this whole WMD narrative & is too dumb to realize how bad a look that is lol.
Consensus was already that pulling out of the JCPOA = incredibly dumb. Add the assassination of Soleimani in 2020 + this conflict & you’re onto the biggest US diplomacy frickup in a long time.

Yes or No. Now answer if Americans are better off with Iran having a nuke (which they most certainly were working toward. because Trump offered to provide them power plant level uranium material for life and they said NO to his offer) or are they better off with Iran NOT having a Nuke.

Liberals never seem to understand the concept of "Hoping for the Best, but PLANNING for the worst."

The cost of taking the action we are taking less the cost of doing nothing, is the correct question.

We could “what if” our way into nuking the entire planet. That’s not how you justify wars.

Was Iran not trying to develop a nuclear weapon? So, if they did and they shut down the straight, like they are doing now, what would you do to solve $350 barrel prices?
