Don’t worry about it.
Practise shows that as long as Trump promises the war is over every week, oil prises will remain moderate.

Hardly news. Report back when an adult comes into the room to broker a deal so Trump can go back to meat-and-potatoes issues that folks in the US really care about like bathroom signage and High School sports.

Its about as clear as mud
1. Iranian foreign minister ([https://x.com/araghchi/status/2045121573124759713](https://x.com/araghchi/status/2045121573124759713)) UTC Time: 12:45 UTC April 17 – strait is open.
2. Then Trump spoke/made posts 12:00-13:00 UTC April 17
3. Then parliamentary speaker responds to Trump and says its now closed because of his remarks. Hence the 7 lies reference. ([https://x.com/mb_ghalibaf/status/2045264713593114970](https://x.com/mb_ghalibaf/status/2045264713593114970)) 22:14 UTC on April 17
If you look at CNNs actual blurb instead of just their headline it confirms point 3:
But Trump had said he’d keep the blockade so it should be closed. However some ships seem to be on the move first 4 are mostly headed to china guess we’ll see if they make it past the US blockade. Looks like its selectively open depending on who the Iranians let through, guessing that means the toll.
On top of which the DELNAVAZ which left Bandar Abbas (iranian port) is moving through the gulf of oman which would be in contravention of the US blockade. But its almost half way through the gulf of oman without being stopped.
The Iranian message was if the US blocked is on so is ours.. i guess this seems to perhaps indicate both blockades are off even tho Trump said their blockade would remain. Perhaps Trump tacoed on the US blockade.

Give it 5 minutes and it’ll be open again, according to Trump

The only reason Prez went on a tweeting rampage Friday morning is because paper oil was creeping up to $100 again and certain SHORT entities needed that number quashed to exit May contract unscathed.
The entire process was based on lies, but was effective since time was needed for fact checking (mostly done after market close- surprise surprise)
This was calculated and deliberate….but traders keep running when the village idiot cries “**Wolf!**” 7 weeks in a row 🤷

Sometimes in the silent Friday nights you can hear a faint clapping. It’s the Strait of Hormuz opens and closes again.

Iran’s „official” statements are about as reliable as those of USA

Iran lift the closure, Trump celebrates and then Iran closes it again because the US didn’t lift their blockade. How can Trump save face from this without being humiliated more than he already has been?

BREAKING: US oil ship has crossed/is crossing rn hormuz strait. Check maritime traffic lol

If trump can profit from market manipulation, Iran can do the same, maybe thru their overseas proxies betting on the oil futures themselves. Now they discover is much easier to profit from market manipulation than to sell their oil so why not join in the “fun”.
