Diesel, gasoline, water, and fertilizer are critically impacted by the supply crunch in the Iran war.

This is a massive supply collapse happening right in front of us, and it has global implications for disasters.

With President Trump dropping the 48-hour smackdown warning to Iran, it brings up a lot of related problems and issues that I go through. Everything from timing, price increases, and why there is potential for the oil rubberband price snap-up.

We have about 12 hours left in the 28 hours, but we are on Trump time, so we do not know when that may happen. If President Trump does take out the Iranian power plants, it will cause some huge problems that people are not talking about. If we take Kharg Island and implement the Venezuelan-style controls through the Bank of Qatar, we will see peace, but whether the Iranian RGC blows up things on the way out is a huge question.

If we take out the Iranian grid, it may take out Iraq as they get 60% of their power from Iran. Between them, that is an estimated 5 million barrels of oil per day that may be delayed back onto the market. Now add into the other fields that have been hit, and my crayon of spare capacity is drawing a pretty thin line of supply once the 200 million barrels of oil on the water are used. That is about a 2.5-week supply in the market.
