It’s chaos out there. Between war headlines, deleted government tweets, shifting military goals, and political messaging, trying to follow the news cycle right now is almost impossible. One statement sends oil prices crashing. A correction sends them soaring again. And markets are moving faster than anyone can fact-check.
In this episode, we break down:
• How a single government tweet about escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz briefly sent oil prices crashing
• Why the tweet was later deleted — and how misinformation moves markets instantly
• The constantly shifting goals behind the Iran conflict
• Why talk of regime change, nuclear destruction, and deterrence keeps evolving
• How the military-industrial complex and political messaging shape the narrative
• Why the Strait of Hormuz remains the most critical chokepoint in global energy markets
• And how Iran could attempt to drive oil prices toward $200 a barrel
