It looks like the war is back on again, with Iran attacking tankers in the Strait and heavy U.S. strikes in retaliation.

I was thinking though, since Emperor Trump is already next door in Turkiye why doesn't he just pop next door to Tehran and show them the 'Art of the Deal'. The people would love him for it and his face would be carved on Mount Rushmore in no time.

oil prices are pretty low.

Must have worked something out, somewhere.
