This is obviously all fishy as a Sunday market at the docks. We saw stories for a few days of commercial ships hit by "projectiles" which is already sketchy ambiguity. No report that I know of identified the "projectiles" or their origin, then next thing we know they are used as pretext to start all over again, and yeah, it's true, these ceasefire "breaches" do seem suspiciously tied to certain oil price thresholds. Could it be that the build up coincided with July 4th weekend and the price pumping coincides with the Monday night immediately after? Hmmm....
