We hope as voters go to the polls today, they'll note that the lawless and mentally ill Malignant Fascist struck Iran's Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday, sending oil prices up to $105.77 for Brent crude this morning. From CNBC:
"Oil prices climbed on Tuesday after the U.S. reportedly struck Iran’s Qeshm Island late Monday, one day before the midterm elections.
Brent crude was up 1.75% on Tuesday at $106.60 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate was up 1.7% to $98.10.
Oil prices rebounded a day after the U.S. and Iranian presidents signaled they are open to a diplomatic solution to the Iran war, which saw oil prices sell off over 7% on Monday.
But before this development, Brent prices were at their highest since 2022, as fears of further U.S. strikes on Iran after the midterms mounted.
Washington attacked Iran’s Qeshm Island on Monday, U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal, adding that the U.S. has been carrying out 'limited strikes' against the country in recent weeks.
The military campaign against Iran has been kept deliberately low-profile to avoid signaling plans for a major escalation in fighting, the report said, quoting an unnamed official." (our emphasis)
That "major escalation in fighting" is about to break loose after the mid-term elections, after considerable frustration on the part of the MF and prodding by the right-wing war Likudnik hawk Bibi "Bomb Bomb" Netanyahu. They just want to hold off on the big attacks until the votes have been cast. The "no more Mideast wars" MF is hoping that his anti-war cult won't notice this latest attack and the ground work being laid for a massive assault in the coming days / weeks. Bring it to their attention.
