Episode notes
Trump Says War With Iran Could End Soon
- President Trump told a news conference the U.S. has made "major strides" and suggested the war with Iran could end within days.
- He claimed Iran now has "no Navy, no communications, no Air Force," framing the campaign as largely complete and short-term.
Oil Becomes A Primary Target In The Conflict
- Israel struck an oil depot in Tehran and video showed massive flames and burning boulevards, while Iran hit a Bahrain refinery.
- NBC reported both sides targeting oil has global consequences, sending crude and gas prices sharply higher.
War Triggers Historic Oil Supply Shock
- Gas prices rose about 50 cents nationally in one week, spiking crude from $67 to as high as $119 per barrel before dipping.
- The Strait of Hormuz was nearly closed to shipping, and analysts call this the largest oil supply disruption in history.
