How did the Houthis manage to shoot down a U.S.-supplied Saudi F‑15 and what does it mean for global oil markets?
As Donald Trump continues to close off the White House to the press, his morning has gotten even worse. Here's what we are learning. The Houthis were able to successfully shoot down a Saudi Arabian F-15E. You have Houthi soldiers posing in front of this F-15E that they shot down. Of course, that's an aircraft provided to Saudi Arabia by the United States. Also, the Houthis have announced that they were able to successfully strike Saudi Arabia's Yanbu facility in western Saudi Arabia, causing more oil disruption into the global market. Also, we learned that the Houthis were able to shoot down yet another Saudi drone, likely provided by the United States military. The oil markets are getting even more problematic, and that's an understatement.
Let me just share with you the footage right now of the Houthis posing in front of the F-15 they shot down. This is fairly incredible footage right over here. Let's play this clip.
Now,
if the Houthis have the capability to shoot down F-15s, let's be clear, Iran definitely has the capabilities to do the same. It should also be noted this morning that we learned that the Trump regime was covering up the fact that Iran struck a U.S. contracted oil tanker with U.S. troops on board around the Strait of Hormuz earlier in the week. Remember when Iran said they did it and CENTCOM denied it? Well, guess what? CENTCOM was lying again. So using four drones and at least one missile, One projectile we're aware of directly hit the tanker and caused injuries to our troops, smoke inhalation and potentially other injuries that are still being covered up. per usual, and this is something that we will continue to be following here.
With all of this taking place, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright went on state regime media this morning. The propaganda is so utterly outrageous while the American people are suffering really badly. Chris Wright's message, and he's the Energy Secretary, he's in Trump's cabinet, he said, thank God we have Donald Trump.
Why are oil and gasoline markets described as ‘even more problematic’ after the recent Houthi attacks?
We're doing so good right now. They are all con artists. Watch for yourself. Play this clip.
Are you worried about the refineries? They've been running for months at full tilt. They need maintenance.
We do. And thank God we have President Trump with some common sense on energy. We're doing everything we can to help refineries expand their capacity. President Trump is aggressively deploying the U.S. military.
More from Chris Wright here, Donald Trump's energy secretary. He's asked, Would you be brave enough to put a timeline on when these gas prices are going to come down? I can't predict Iranian behavior. He says, okay, what about your behavior? What about the Trump regime's behavior? You and Netanyahu were the ones who invaded Iran. Here, watch this for yourself. It's so pathetic. Play this clip.
Would you be brave enough to put a timeline on when they come down?
I certainly can't predict Iranian
behavior. More from Chris Wright.
What is Energy Secretary Chris Wright saying about Trump’s role in the energy crisis and why is it controversial?
He says how, yeah, you know, this is the sacrifice we as Americans have to pay. This is what we have to pay for being strong. We don't want the sacrifice. This is not a sacrifice that we want. We don't want to be in this catastrophic war. Here, play this clip.
But in the conflict, yes, this has taken some energy resources out of the marketplace. It is causing a short-term sacrifice for Americans right now. But this is to end Iran's ability to forever drive up energy prices.
Meanwhile, you have Iran's parliament leader, M.B. Goluboff, basically the top civilian leader, posting the following. Straits tailor rule, and it provides this formula. I'll explain it in a moment. M.B. Goluboff is a PhD and Professor Goluboff to some. He goes, let's see if a hike... referring to the interest rate hikes that are likely to happen which most people believe will happen shortly but we'll see we'll see let's see if an interest rate hike could open the straight of hormuz or produce a single barrel you can't 25 basis points a choke point and r isn't neutral it's straight of hormuz risk premium and we said it stay unanchored just so you know the formula he's posting
