Iran Doesn't Want A Deal With The US [View all]

Iran is working behind the scenes to cut deals with China, Russia, India, Iraq, Pakistan and several other countries for safe passage through Hormuz.

Krasnov has threatened at least one country to not make any deals. Once a country like China gets on board it's all over for Krasnov. China has already been getting oil tankers through Hormuz.

Krasnov made Iran a player in the world, Krasnov opened the door for Iran to make a lot of money from Hormuz.

Everything Krasnov touches dies.

Come the 4th of July if Hormuz is still closed the senior executive VP of Exxon Mobil told a group of investors that Brent crude will hit $150 - $160 a barrel.

Time is on Iran's side. The markets won't be able to cover for Krasnov come the 4th of July when everyone's strategic oil supplies are drained. Tick Tock.
