Rising prices in Iran, NOT in the USA? Keep spinning

The USA is touting that its sanctions are already reaping rewards, with prices rising in Iran. Oh yes, I think prices are also rising in the USA as well, with gasoline at more than US$5 per liter. That is going to trickle down to other goods needing transportation cost that is also rising. Iran will be able to survive with all those sanctions, even after 45 years of sanctioning by the USA. This is a fact and cannot be destroyed by fiction.

Iranian oil exports are not done in US$ anymore and the USA cannot do anything to Iran's oil business other than gloating. The only avenue is using secondary sanctions against those doing business with Iran. That is already falling to pieces with China refusing to co-operate. China is never going to co-operate as Iran is important to China with its oil exports which China needs. China can always deal with Iran, even using barter importing oil to be paid with equipment and development. That has already been going on even before the USA war against Iran.

J. D. Vance is trying to tell the world that Iran no longer controls the Strait of Hormuz. In other words, the Strait is now open. Tell that to shipowners and insurers. How many ships pass through and how many have been attacked by Iran?

More than 6,000 seafarers are still stuck in the Gulf, unable to leave. Does that indicate anything? Try to run the Strait and they will be sunk by mines, touted to have been completely cleared by twits. Trump boasted about having completely destroyed the air force, navy and logistics of Iran. Why then is he afraid of more mines being laid by Iran if the naval force is completely destroyed? Does not add up, right?

Correction has been made and it is US$5 per gallon. Now it is even more.

The USA still thinks their spinning is going to work. The whole world knows that the USA resorted to lying all the time and shouting wolf too often has rendered the shouting obsolete.

The whole world knows that every word out of Trump's mouth is a lie and nothing to believe. The same goes for his doggies inside the administration. The same goes for those inside his family and crony circles.
