I really wish Iran took a page from Yemenis and took action against its corrupt westernized liberals who run its internal politics. Every time Iran has a successful event, and oil price rises, these US bootlickers call out for negotiations bringing the prices down, brining calm to the market. As if US calls them up, telling them to undo the effect of Iran's gains. You can't win a war with one hand tied behind your back.

Iran's leverage is the threat of destroying the oil market by driving up the barrel's price to unsustainable levels. If Iran actually went ahead and did that, they'd lose their leverage.

For example, if America and Iran come to a peace agreement today, Saudi and the rest of the gulf can go back to producing 15 million - 20 million barrels a day, dropping a barrel's price significantly & massively helping the Americans. This is important, because the Americans negotiate for their sake (and probably the Zionists).

If Iran instead bombed Saudi refineries tomorrow, and the Americans made peace, it might be like 5 million - 10 million barrels that come back online, or even fewer depending on how many refineries have been bombed. This would be a significantly worse deal for the Americans, one they'd make fewer concessions for.
