PRESS RELEASE, FBI PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE: The Bureau wishes to confirm that the Strait of Hormuz remaining closed while the United States negotiates a cease-fire extension it finds "totally unacceptable" is under active review as a potential predicate for reopening our 2016 investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, which may have contained classified information about the Strait of Hormuz, or waterways generally, or possibly the word "Iran." We are committed to following the evidence wherever it leads, and it leads to Hillary Clinton. It always leads to Hillary Clinton. God help us, it always leads to Hillary Clinton.
Iran's terms might be genuinely incompatible with U.S. security interests, but the gas prices aren't "vibes" when people are actually spending an extra $40 a week at the pump due to the Strait closure and broader energy market disruption.
Yeah the $40 a week is very real and Kamala literally said energy instability was a guaranteed outcome of Trump's foreign policy recklessness but the MAGATs said she was being dramatic. Now the Strait of Hormuz is closed, gas is through the roof, and Trump is on Truth Social posting unhinged nonsense instead of doing his actual job.
Thirty days is nothing in diplomatic terms and both sides know it. The Strait being closed is costing every American at the pump right now, so "totally unacceptable" from Trump tells us where talks stand but not what the actual sticking points are. NYT gives you the posture, not the substance. The regional papers covering shipping and energy are tracking what this actually costs per barrel per day; that reporting is where the real pressure on both governments shows up, not in statements from the White House.
