Trump and Iran Just Made Peace, and the Oil Is About to Flow
Just when everyone thought the Middle East was completely un-fixable, Donald Trump and Pakistan dropped a Sunday bombshell: the U.S. and Iran have agreed to stop shooting.
So, out of nowhere, Pakistan played marriage counselor and managed to broker an actual peace deal between the U.S. and Iran. Yes, those two.
While the full details of the agreement are still being kept under wraps, the immediate headline is massive. Both nations are calling a permanent end to their military operations, which includes wrapping up the intense fighting over in Lebanon.
But let's be real—the part everyone actually cares about is the gas pump. Back in February, after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran, Tehran retaliated by shutting down the Strait of Hormuz. That is the world's primary oil artery, and closing it sent average U.S. gas prices spiking past four dollars a gallon.
Now, Trump is celebrating on social media, telling the "Ships of the World" to start their engines. The U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is officially ending, meaning global oil supplies should start returning to normal almost immediately.
It turns out all it took to pause a decade-long geopolitical feud was the collective screaming of millions of drivers watching their bank accounts drain at the pump.
