Diesel prices in America are through the roof. Diesel has hit an all time high price of $8 per gallon on the West Coast due to the ill-advised and foolish war against Iran. The national price is currently $6.50 and climbing. Diesel is what companies use to move goods around America. This mean that America, which has already been financially battered by foolish tariffs for over a year and a half, that were later ruled illegal by the Supreme Court, will see even more inflation due to the hike in gas prices.

The Iranians understood this when they closed the Strait of Hormuz. It was a strategic move in the face of an illegal war brought to their shores. Intelligent politicians understood it immediately. However, the dimwitted in government have failed to see the severe significance of the countermeasure and the financial damage it has the capability of inflicting. It can turn into the financial equivalent of an alligator performing a death roll on its target.
