From July 2025 to the beginning of the attack on February 28, 2026 there is wide discussion, actions and expectation that more strikes on Iran are coming. They didn't just wake up two days before the 2nd attack and randomly draft a war powers act for vote.

They are selling oil right now that will be delivered in Cushing Oklahoma on Aug 15th so we know what the price of oil for August is: $88.32

In September: $85.61
October $83.21
December of 2026 $79.91

I have tried to explain how oil is priced and sold. I have failed.
