In addition to the risk of wider #war & the human toll [which #Republicans don’t seem to care about], attacks on #Iran will increase #energy #prices.
He also stressed that the war could lead to higher energy costs, which would undercut one of Trump’s domestic [false] political messages that #gasoline prices have been lower since his return to power.

“ #Iran sits along the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly a fifth of the world’s #oil supply passes,” Vaez posted. “Even limited disruption could spike #energy #prices, fuel #inflation, & rattle global markets.”

Get ready for #SupplyChain disruptions
#Iran backed #Houthis in #Yemen have decided to resume attacks on #ShippingRoutes & on #Israel in support of Iran.…
One official said the rebels’ first attack could come as soon as “tonight.”
The rebels had ceased attacks on the #shipping route as part of a deal with the #Trump admin that also halted #US strikes against the Houthis. They also stopped their attacks against Israel after an October “ceasefire” that halted major fighting in #Gaza.

#Iran has retaliated to countrywide strike by #US & Israeli jets. Iran has targeted US bases scattered across the #MiddleEast, including nearby #Gulf monarchies & have vowed to continue attacks, as Geneva-based #nuclear talks failed to result in a deal.

#HakeemJeffries decries #Iran strikes without approval from #Congress
The #US #House #Democratic leader says that “Iran is a bad actor & must be aggressively confronted for its human rights violations, nuclear ambitions, support of terrorism & the threat it poses to our allies like Israel & Jordan in the region.”
But Jeffries said that outside “exigent circumstances,” #Trump “must seek authorization for the preemptive use of #military #force that constitutes an act of #war.”
"Trump is a bad actor & must be aggressively confronted for his human rights violations, nuclear ambitions, support of terrorism & the threat he poses to our allies like the EU, Denmark and Canada.”
#Trump “failed to seek Congressional authorization prior to striking #Iran,” #HakeemJeffries said. He also said that the latest round of strikes “has left American troops vulnerable to Iran’s retaliatory actions.”
“We pray for the safety of the men & women of the #US #military as they have been put into harm’s way in a dangerous theater of #war,” Jeffries said.
“ #Iran sits along the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly a fifth of the world’s #oil supply passes,” Vaez posted. “Even limited disruption could spike #energy #prices, fuel #inflation, & rattle global markets.”
