    Marco Rubio has called on China to prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important shipping routes.

    His comments came after Iran's state-run Press TV reported that parliament had approved a plan to close the Strait but added that the final decision lies with the Supreme National Security Council.

    Any disruption to the supply of oil would have profound consequences for the economy. China in particular is the world's largest buyer of Iranian oil and has a close relationship with Tehran.

        US probably shouldn't fuck with people who got the leverage on the economy, but alas, common sense isn't always available when conservative is ruling.

          maybe stopping the oil addiction was not only for the environment, but a matter of national defense.

                There's no reason for this oil dependency,

                Right wing nationalists push for energy independence
                Environmentalists push for not destroying the place we live
                Healt advocates push for better air quality
                ...

                but Oil shareholders like money so fuck everyone else.

                          It's a good thing they kept coal alive. Can't wait for my coal driven Ford soccer mom car to release. Little Jimmy and little Linda in the back seat might have to get their hands dirty throwing fistfuls of coal in the furnace, but it will be good for them. Builds character!

                            In the meantime, China is going all in on EVs thus reducing their dependence on oil…. Gee, wonder what leverage that gives them.

                                  Everyone knew Iran would shut the straight, this is all just subterfuge for loosening restrictions on Russian oil purchases because "we have no other options".

                                    Imagine for a moment if the fortune spent on the failed wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was instead invested in reducing our dependence on oil.

                                        sounds horrible, imagine trillions going to improving the country and helping people instead of being funneled into the pocket of the wealthiest people in the country.

                                        what a nightmare...
