Here’s the problem: Iran’s deputy governor of Bushehr province said Saturday that oil exports from Kharg Island were proceeding normally. No casualties. No disruption.

Trump bombed “Iran’s crown jewel.” Iran says nothing changed. Oil is still flowing. The Strait is still blocked. And Brent crude is now above $100 a barrel. US gas prices have climbed to an average of $3.68 a gallon — a 23% increase since Operation Epstein Fury began.

The “greatest bombing raid in the History of the Middle East.” Gas is up 23%. The Strait is still closed.

This is winning.
