I can deal with a short term hit on gas prices to eliminate the dicktatorship. Say 6 months? Things should be stabalized by then.
I just don't like the middlemen and commodities markets getting rich off it.
Line 'em up and knock 'em down.

The U.S.-Israeli air war against Iran expanded on Monday with no end in sight, engulfing Lebanon with Israel responding to strikes by Hezbollah, while Tehran fired missiles and drones at Israel, Gulf states and a British air base in far-away Cyprus.
Video images showed a U.S. warplane falling out of the sky over Kuwait early on Monday, while a person could be seen parachuting. The location was verified by Reuters as filmed in the Al Jahra area of Kuwait. Kuwait's defence ministry said several American aircraft had crashed and all crew were safe.

Stephanie Ruhle is joined by veteran financial journalist Ron Insana to discuss the flow of millions of dollars in prediction markets in the hours leading up to the Trump administration's strikes on Iran.
In the first strike to reach U.S. allies in Europe, a drone hit Britain's Akrotiri air base in Cyprus overnight. Britain and Cyprus said the damage was limited and there were no casualties. European allies have so far distanced themselves from Trump's decision to go to war, which Britain, France and others say fell short of the legal threshold of combating an imminent threat.
In interviews on Sunday, Trump said the campaign “could” last four weeks. A senior White House official told Reuters that Washington would at some point talk with Tehran's leaders, but not yet.
An extended military campaign could pose a major political risk for Trump's Republican Party ahead of U.S. midterm elections. Only around one in four Americans approve of the operation, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Sunday.
In a video posted on Sunday, Trump vowed military strikes on Iran would continue until "all our objectives are achieved" without providing specifics.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Sunday they had hit three U.S. and UK oil tankers in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz and attacked military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain with drones and missiles. Shipping data showed hundreds of vessels including oil and gas tankers dropping anchor in nearby waters.
Global air travel was also heavily disrupted as air strikes kept major Middle Eastern airports closed, including Dubai, the world's busiest international hub.
