So if a week from now the story is validated, will you update your assumptions?

They would be stupid to NOT be considering what could happen in worst case scenarios
That doesn't mean they expect it to happen

>1% of these fear mongering stories ever prove to be true. It’s tiresome.

My guess: A&M and Texas spending even more on NIL and still not getting anything for it.
I’m just spitballing here.

Trump team examines what oil as high as US$200 a barrel would mean
quote:
[WASHINGTON] Trump administration officials are examining what a potential spike in oil prices as high as US$200 a barrel would mean for the economy, according to sources familiar with the matter, a sign senior officials are studying the possible fallout from extreme scenarios for the Iran war.
Modelling of how damaging a bigger jump in oil prices could be to growth prospects is part of regular assessment done during times of strain and is not a prediction, according to the sources, who asked not to be identified, commenting on matters that are not public. The effort is aimed at making sure the administration is prepared for all contingencies, including a prolonged conflict, they said.
quote:
White House spokesperson Kush Desai called that account “false”, saying, “While the administration is always evaluating various pricing scenarios and economic impacts, officials are not examining the possibility of oil reaching US$200 per barrel and Secretary Bessent has not been ‘worried’ about the short-term disruptions from Operation Epic Fury.”
quote:
Oil prices have jumped since the US and Israel attacked Iran on Feb 28, with West Texas Intermediate up about 30 per cent at US$91 a barrel. Brent crude is up almost 40 per cent over the same period, trading around US$102.

History proves that when media uses Anon Sauces when reporting some story about the Trump administration, it usually turns out to be false.

This is such a nothing burger of a post that a few will victory lap over

Well I would hope that planning is taken into consideration on all price points of resources. I suspect there are contingencies for issues like using SPR, although some administrations tend to drain it needlessly. There is also pipelines full of oil at any given moment that act as additional storage. But a big question I have is do you often believe anonymous sources? Because if you do I heard from someone that they overheard that Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor again

But this anonymous source isn't saying something IS going to happen. They're simply saying the administration is planning just in case, just like administrations plan for all sorts of shite that ends up not happening.

That’s called smart contingency as a business run solidly would do this. A corporation has to do that

I dont have any idea where oil is going, but I think it plausible that the administration would be trying to plan for contingencies when the middle eastern oil infrastructure is at risk.
And I’m only left of Pinochet and Bukele, and I could be convinced.

Why don't you show us the win/loss record of "sources familiar to the situation".

Yep. Both the phrasing of a statement and how someone perceives it, are very relevant. A simple statement of facts can be weaponized or denigrated in the vernacular.
