Pretty sure Iran didn't plan on being obliterated.

Why did they have a navy if this was their only plan?

Also blocking the straight is funny because the only people it hurts is everyone in the world but the US.

I'm sure Americans are finding it funny to pay for $3+ a gallon. The entire economy suffers from it.

    $3 a gallon is less than a dollar per liter. Do you live in Saudi Arabia or a gulf state?

    Here are historical real (inflation adjusted) gas prices for the US. You can decide how terrible this is:

      I can’t decide if the economy has bifurcated or if these inflation stats are totally bogus.

      Diesel is almost $7/gallon here. All the stuff we buy (food, services, electronics) are up 30-100% since the beginning of last year, but federal inflation stats claim 3%.
