THE MOMENT THE IRAN CEASEFIRE OFFICIALLY DIED - w/ Fmr. CIA Larry Johnson
"He's got a four-week supply left. And then we're not talking about sweet crude. We're talking about sour crude. The four weeks that's that was what was so you know it's going to bite him in the ass."
Energy analyst reveals U.S. refineries face critical shortage of high-sulfur crude oil needed for diesel and aviation fuel, with only four weeks of supply remaining. Despite this vulnerability, Trump escalated strikes on Iranian assets while oil futures spiked 8.5% in five days and crack spreads confirmed actual oil costs at $110-115 per barrel versus lower futures prices. The analysis suggests Trump has forgotten or ignored the strategic petroleum constraint that previously drove his decision to de-escalate.
