Get Epstein off the front page. He's got to get them to give up the enriched material or the war is a bust. The blockade gives leverage, maybe. Maybe not. Regardless, Iran would be stupid to do so given recent events and knowing full well that the means to go in and take it aren't politically viable in the US. A classic impasse. But the fact that jet fuel, and a host of other things, are getting very short may break the impasse. Or not.

Only god, if she's out there, knows where this is going. In the mean time, more crippling fuel prices driving us and much of the rest of the world into recession. Gas ain't getting cheaper for a good while even if this ended today. One painful lesson from covid. Supply chains don't operate on an on / off switch.
